Gilbert R. Giordano, President
June 11, 1998
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
Titan Investment Advisors, LLC, are pleased with the Fund's results thus
far. On April 22, 1998, we reached a record high of $20.28. This movement
represents a total return of 114%, from the inception of the Fund on May 22,
1996. From that date through April 30, 1998 our net asset value has increased
from $10.00 to $19.61, which equates to an average annual total return of
45.54%. The 12-month return for the year ending April 30, 1998 is 63.47%.(1)
We are very proud of our performance, which has been particularly good in a
challenging market. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 1998, we outperformed
all the major indices including the Dow, S&P, and the NASDAQ. We think this
period supports our view that the small cap bank stocks are a relatively safe
haven during an uncertain market, while appreciating significantly in resurgent
markets. We have assiduously kept to our commitment to be at least 65% invested
in bank stocks and financial institutions such as brokerage firms and insurance
companies. Indeed, we are presently over 80% invested in banks and other
financial service companies.
The financial services environment has played an important role in our
outstanding performance over the past 12 months. We feel that consolidation
within the industry has helped to propel our share price. The liberalization of
banking laws in the 1990's has allowed for the continued metamorphosis of the
financial industry with aggressive mergers across state lines becoming a
frequent occurrence. The banks have been experiencing a diminution of deposits
of 3 to 4% a year and many are forced to merge in order to obtain growth.
Mergers and consolidations reduce back office operations and help to increase
the bottom line. Titan has capitalized on these situations by investing in banks
and other financial service companies looking to take advantage of this
scenario. We are pleased to announce that we had five recent mergers among our
financial holdings: The Money Store, Green Tree Financial, Life Financial, Dime
Financial, and Travelers Group.
We were able to use the period of downward movement in late January as an
opportunity to buy depressed stocks which presently represent some of our most
successful choices. During the past quarter, we added to our positions in the
broker stocks, particularly Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, and Paine Webber. We
now have over 20% of our investments in brokerages and investment banks. We feel
this sector is still substantially undervalued, particularly as compared with
the S&P and the Dow.
From time to time, we also purchase non-financial institutions when we see
an opportunity, such as when we believe a stock of high quality is unfairly
driven down or is not performing on the financial markets consistent with
(1) The average annual total return for the 12 month period ended March
31, 1998 and from inception through March 31, 1998, was 63.48% and
45.56%, respectively.

its merits. This has permitted us to pick up such stocks as Pharmacia & Upjohn
and Supreme Industries, which have performed well in our portfolio so far.
We believe that the appreciation of small-sized bank stocks, along with
other financials and particularly the brokerages will outperform that of the
market over the next several years. We are very enthusiastic about our
performance thus far. One feature of our Fund that we think makes it unusual, is
that we are heavily invested in it ourselves. We participate in the Fund's gains
or losses along with our fellow investors.
We are looking forward to the next six months with the confidence that
comes from weathering a particularly difficult market and outperforming all the
major indexes during that time. We also look forward to justifying your
confidence in us, which we will try to deserve.
Very truly yours,
/s/

Titan Financial Services Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
The Titan Financial Services Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of
shares of beneficial interest of Professionally Managed Portfolios (the
"Trust"), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"1940 Act") as an open-end investment management company. The Fund began
operations on May 22, 1996. The primary investment objective of the Fund is
capital appreciation. The secondary objective is moderate income.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
A. Security Valuation. Investments in securities traded on a national
securities exchange, or included in the NASDAQ National Market
System, are valued at the last reported sales price at the close of
regular trading on the last business day of the period; securities
traded on an exchange or NASDAQ for which there have been no sales,
and other over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last
reported bid price. Securities for which quotations are not readily
available are valued at their respective fair values, as determined
in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term investments are
stated at cost, which when combined with accrued interest,
approximates market value.
B. Federal Income Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to
its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is
required.
C. Security Transactions, Investment Income and Distributions. As is
common in the industry, security transactions are accounted for on
the trade date. The cost of securities owned on realized
transactions are relieved on a first-in, first-out basis. Dividend
income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
D. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
For the year ended April 30, 1998, Titan Investment Advisors, LLC (the
"Advisor") provided the Fund with investment management services under an
Investment Advisory Agreement. The Advisor furnished all investment advice,
office space, facilities, and most of the personnel needed by the Fund. As
compensation for its services, the Advisor was entitled to a monthly fee at the
annual rate of 1.00% based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund. For
the year ended April 30, 1998, the Fund incurred $179,418 in Advisory fees.
The Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Advisor has
agreed to reduce fees to the extent necessary to limit the Fund's aggregate
annual operating expenses to 2.50% of average net assets. Any such
<PAGE>
Titan Financial Services Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
reductions made by the Advisor in its fees or payments or reimbursement of
expenses which are the Fund's obligation are subject to reimbursement by the
Fund provided the Fund is able to effect such reimbursement and remain in
compliance with applicable limitations. For the year ended April 30, 1998, the
Advisor recouped $30,832 of such expenses it had previously reimbursed to the
Fund.
Investment Company Administration Corporation (the "Administrator") acts
as the Fund's Administrator under an Administration Agreement. The Administrator
prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for
the Fund; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the trustees;
monitors the activities of the Fund's custodian, transfer agent and accountants;
coordinates the preparation and payment of Fund expenses and reviews the Fund's
expense accruals. For its services, the Administrator receives a monthly fee at
the following rate:
Under $15 million - $30,000
$15 to $50 million - 0.20% of average daily net assets
$50 to $100 million - 0.15% of average daily net assets
$100 to $150 million - 0.10% of average daily net assets
Over $150 million - 0.05% of average daily net assets
For the year ended April 30, 1998, the Fund incurred $39,532 in
Administration fees.
First Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor") acts as the Fund's
principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund's shares. The
Distributor is an affiliate of the Administrator.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and/or
directors of the Administrator and the Distributor.
NOTE 4 - DISTRIBUTION PLAN
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") in accordance with
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will pay a fee to
the Advisor as Distribution Coordinator at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee is paid to the Advisor as
reimbursement for, or in anticipation of, expenses incurred for
distribution-related activity. During the year ended April 30, 1998, the Fund
paid fees of $44,855 to the Advisor.

NOTE 6 - YEAR 2000 ISSUE (Unaudited)
Like other mutual funds, financial and business organizations and
individuals around the world, the Fund could be adversely affected if the
computer systems it uses and those used by the Fund's brokers and other major
service providers, do not properly process and calculate date-related
information and data from and after January 1, 2000. This is commonly known as
the "Year 2000 issue." Management is assessing its computer systems and the
systems compliance issues of its brokers and major service providers. Based on
information available to management, the Fund's brokers and major service
providers are taking steps that they believe are reasonably designed to address
the Year 2000 issue with respect to computer systems that they use. At this
time, however, there can be no assurance that these steps will be sufficient,
and the failure of a timely completion of all necessary procedures could have a
material adverse effect on the Fund's operations. Management will continue to
monitor the status of, and its exposure to, this issue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF
TITAN FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND and
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED PORTFOLIOS
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, of Titan Financial Services Fund (a
series of Professionally Managed Portfolios) as of April 30, 1998, and the
related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets and the
financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period May 22, 1996
(commencement of operations) to April 30, 1997. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April
30, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. To the extent we did
not receive replies from brokers, we applied alternative auditing procedures. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Titan Financial Services Fund as of April 30, 1998, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the
year then ended and for the period May 22, 1996 (commencement of operations) to
April 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
