A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT



Dear Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company Customers

This is the Annual Report for the Principal  Mutual Funds.  The Report  contains
important  financial  information  resulting from the operation of the Funds for
the year ended December 31, 1995.  Several  different  Principal Mutual variable
annuity and  variable  life  insurance  contracts  offer these Funds  within the
investment options. Please see your contract prospectus for a description of the
Funds specifically available in your contract.

Last year  proved to be an  excellent  one for  investors.  U.S.  stock and bond
markets   finished   the  year  at  levels   significantly   higher  than  1994.
International  stock markets also performed  fairly well.  However,  often their
gains were  overshadowed  by the  spectacular  run in U.S.  equities.  Principal
Mutual variable  annuity and variable life contract owners  benefited from these
robust markets.  For the one-year period ending  12/31/95,  all the Funds posted
positive returns.

Looking  to the new  year,  most  market  strategists  expect  to see  continued
economic  growth,  moderate  inflation and limited  movement in interest  rates.
These factors  should be favorable for the U.S.  stock and bond markets.  Though
foreign  markets  lagged  U.S.  equity  markets  in 1995,  potential  gains from
international investing remain good for the long term.

Thank you for helping make 1995 a very  successful  year.  The Principal  Mutual
Funds  continue  to grow in both  assets  and the number of  contracts.  We look
forward to another fine year in 1996.

Sincerely,


Stephan L. Jones
President

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

Principal  Aggressive Growth Fund, Inc.,  Principal Asset Allocation Fund, Inc.,
Principal  Balanced Fund,  Inc.,  Principal Bond Fund, Inc.,  Principal  Capital
Accumulation  Fund,  Inc.,  Principal  Emerging  Growth  Fund,  Inc.,  Principal
Government  Securities Fund, Inc.,  Principal Growth Fund, Inc.,  Principal High
Yield Fund,  Inc.,  Principal  Money Market Fund, Inc. and Principal World Fund,
Inc. (the "Funds") are registered  under the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as open-end diversified  management investment companies and operate in
the mutual fund industry.

On March 23, 1994,  the initial  purchases of 500,000 shares of Capital Stock of
the  Principal  Growth  Fund,  Inc. and 500,000  shares of Capital  Stock of the
Principal World Fund, Inc. were made by Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company.
On May 23, 1994, the initial  purchases of 1,000,000  shares of Capital Stock of
the Principal Aggressive Growth Fund, Inc. and 2,500,000 shares of Capital Stock
of the Principal Asset  Allocation Fund, Inc. were made by Principal Mutual Life
Insurance Company (see Note 3).

Principal Money Market Fund, Inc. values its securities at amortized cost, which
approximates  market.  Under the amortized cost method,  a security is valued by
applying a constant  amortization  to  maturity  of the  difference  between the
principal  amount due at maturity and the cost of the security to the fund.

The other  funds  value  securities  for which  market  quotations  are  readily
available at market  value,  which is  determined  using the last  reported sale
price or, if no sales are reported, as is regularly the case for some securities
traded  over-the-counter,  the last  reported bid price.  When  reliable  market
quotations  are not considered to be readily  available,  which may be the case,
for example,  with respect to certain debt securities and preferred stocks,  the
investments  are valued by using market  quotations,  prices  provided by market
makers or estimates of market values  obtained from yield data and other factors
relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics in accordance
with  procedures  established  in good faith by each fund's Board of  Directors.
Securities with remaining  maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost, which approximates market. 

With respect to Principal World Fund,  Inc., the value of foreign  securities in
foreign  currency amounts is expressed in U.S. dollars at the closing daily rate
of exchange.  The  identified  cost of the  portfolio  holdings is translated at
approximate  rates  prevailing  when  acquired.  Income and expense  amounts are
translated at approximate  rates  prevailing  when received or paid,  with daily
accruals of such amounts reported at approximate rates prevailing at the date of
valuation.  

Since the carrying amount of the foreign securities in the Principal World Fund,
Inc. is determined  based on the exchange rate and market values at the close of
the period,  it is not  practicable  to isolate  that  portion of the results of
operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the
fluctuations  arising from changes in the market prices of securities during the
period.  

The Funds record investment transactions generally one day after the trade date.
The identified  cost basis has been used in determining the net realized gain or
loss from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of
investments.  Dividends  are taken  into  income on an  accrual  basis as of the
ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. 

Reported  net  realized  foreign  exchange  gains or losses  arise from sales of
foreign  currencies,  currency  gains or losses  realized  between the trade and
settlement  dates on securities  transactions,  and the  difference  between the
amount of dividends and foreign  withholding  taxes recorded on the fund's books
and the U.S.  dollar  equivalent of the amounts  actually  received or paid. Net
unrealized  foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of
assets and liabilities  other than investments in securities at fiscal year end,
resulting  from changes in the exchange  rate.  

With respect to Principal Money Market Fund, Inc., all net investment income and
any  realized  gains and losses from  investment  transactions  are  declared as
dividends  daily  to  shareholders  of  record  as of that  day.  Dividends  and
distributions to shareholders of the other funds are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. 

Dividends and  distributions to shareholders  from net investment income and net
realized gain from investment and foreign currency transactions is determined in
accordance with federal income tax regulations,  which may differ from generally
accepted accounting  principles.  To the extent these "book/tax" differences are
permanent in nature (i.e. that they result from other than timing of recognition
- - "temporary"),  such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based
on their  federal  tax-basis  treatment;  temporary  differences  do not require
reclassification.  Reclassifications  made for the years ended December 31, 1995
and 1994 were not material.

Due to the timing of dividend  distributions  and the  differences in accounting
for income and realized  gains  (losses)  for  financial  statement  and federal
income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ
from the year in which the income and realized  gains  (losses) are recorded for
financial statement purposes by the fund. The differences between the income and
gains  distributed on a book versus tax basis are shown as excess  distributions
of  net  investment   income  and  net  realized  gain  on  investments  in  the
accompanying  Statements of Changes in Net Assets.  

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  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.  

Note 2 - Federal Income Taxes

No provision for federal income taxes is considered  necessary because each fund
is qualified as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code
and intends to distribute  each year,  substantially  all of its net  investment
income and realized  capital gains to  shareholders.  The cost of investments is
approximately  the same for both  federal  income  tax and  financial  reporting
purposes. 

At  December  31,  1995,  Principal  Bond  Fund,  Inc.  had a net  capital  loss
carryforward of approximately  $297,000 expiring in 1999 through 2004. Principal
Government  Securities  Fund,  Inc.  had  a net  capital  loss  carryforward  of
approximately  $716,000  expiring in 2002 and 2003.  Principal  High Yield Fund,
Inc. had a net capital loss carryforward of approximately $1,206,000 expiring in
1997  through  2004.  

Note 3 - Management Agreement and Transactions With Affiliates

The Funds have agreed to pay investment  advisory and management fees to Princor
Management  Corporation (wholly owned by Princor Financial Services Corporation,
a subsidiary  of  Principal  Mutual Life  Insurance  Company)  (the  "Manager"),
computed at an annual  percentage  rate of each fund's average daily net assets.
The  annual  rate  used in this  calculation  for  Principal  Bond  Fund,  Inc.,
Principal Capital Accumulation Fund, Inc., Principal Government Securities Fund,
Inc.,  Principal Growth Fund, Inc. and Principal Money Market Fund, Inc. is .50%
of the first $100 million of the fund's average daily net assets and .45% of the
next $100 million of the fund's  average daily net assets.  The annual rate used
in this  calculation  for Principal  Asset  Allocation  Fund, Inc. and Principal
Aggressive  Growth  Fund,  Inc. is .80% of the first $100  million of the fund's
average  daily net assets.  With respect to Principal  Balanced  Fund,  Inc. and
Principal  High Yield Fund,  Inc.,  the annual rate used in this  calculation is
 .60% of the first $100  million of the fund's  average  daily net  assets.  With
respect to Principal  Emerging Growth Fund, Inc. and Principal World Fund, Inc.,
the annual rate used in this calculation is .65% and .75%, respectively,  of the
first $100 million of the fund's average daily net assets. 

Brokerage  commissions  were paid to  affiliates  by certain  of the  funds,  as
follows:

Principal  Government  Securities Fund, Inc. may trade portfolio securities on a
"to-be-announced"  (TBA)  basis.  In a TBA  transaction,  the  fund  commits  to
purchase or sell  securities for which all specific  information is not known at
the time of the trade. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until
they are delivered to the fund, normally 15 to 30 days later. These transactions
are subject to market  fluctuations and their current value is determined in the
same manner as for other  portfolio  securities.  As of December 31,  1995,  TBA
purchase commitments involved securities with a face amount of $1,000,000,  cost
of $964,688 and market value of $967,510.  Principal Government Securities Fund,
