         Adviser, total return would have been lower and the
         ratios would have been as follows:

         Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets:                                  1.77%**                   2.68%**

(2)      Average commission rate paid is computed by dividing
         the total dollar amount of commissions paid during the
         period by the total number of shares purchased and sold
         during the period for which commissions were charged.

(1)      If certain expenses had not been reimbursed by the
         Adviser, total return would have been lower and the
         ratios would have been as follows:

         Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets:                                      1.40%**                       2.05%**

(2)      Average commission rate paid is computed by dividing
         the total dollar amount of commissions paid during the
         period by the total number of shares purchased and sold
         during the period for which commissions were charged.

         the total dollar amount of commissions paid during the
         period by the total number of shares purchased and sold
         during the period for which commissions were charged.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cova  Series  Trust  (the  "Trust")  is  registered  as a  diversified  open-end
management  investment  company  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as
amended. The Trust offers eleven portfolios to its policyholders for investment,
each of which  operates  as a distinct  investment  vehicle  of the Trust.  J.P.
Morgan Investment Management Inc. manages the Small Cap Stock Portfolio, Quality
Bond  Portfolio,  Select  Equity  Portfolio,  Large  Cap  Stock  Portfolio,  and
International  Equity  Portfolio.  Lord Abbett & Co.  manages the Bond Debenture
Portfolio.  Van Kampen American Capital Investment Advisory  Corporation manages
the Money Market  Portfolio,  Quality Income  Portfolio,  Stock Index Portfolio,
VKAC Growth and Income Portfolio, and the High Yield Portfolio. Depending on the
policyholder's contract, not all portfolios are available to all policyholders.

The Trust  commenced  operations  on December  11, 1989 with the Quality  Income
Portfolio  and High  Yield  Portfolio.  The  Money  Market  Portfolio  commenced
operations on July 1, 1991. The Stock Index  Portfolio  commenced  operations on
November 1, 1991. The VKAC Growth and Income Portfolio  commenced  operations on
May 1, 1992.  The Small Cap Stock  Portfolio,  Quality  Bond  Portfolio,  Select
Equity Portfolio, Large Cap Stock Portfolio,  International Equity Portfolio and
Bond Debenture Portfolio commenced operations on April 2, 1996.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting  principles may require  management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  at the date of the
financial  statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the
reporting period. Although actual results could differ from these estimates, any
such differences are expected to be immaterial to the net assets of the Funds.

The  following  is a summary of  significant  accounting  policies  consistently
followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.  SECURITY  VALUATION  -  Investments  in  securities  listed on a  securities
exchange  are  valued at their  sale  price as of the  close of such  securities
exchange.  If there was no sale on such day,  the  securities  are valued at the
mean  between the most  recently  quoted bid and asked  prices.  Investments  in
securities  not listed on a  securities  exchange are valued based on their last
quoted bid price or, if not  available,  their fair value as  determined in good
faith by the Board of Trustees.  Domestic fixed income investments are stated at
values using the mean  between the most  recently  quoted bid and asked  prices.
Foreign fixed income  securities  are valued at their sale price as of the close
of such securities  exchange.  If such  valuations are not available,  estimates
obtained from yield data  relating to  instruments  or  securities  with similar
characteristics  in accordance with procedures  established in good faith by the
Board of Trustees are used.  Short-term  securities with remaining maturities of
less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost. For the Money Market  Portfolio,
investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under
this valuation method, a portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any discount
or  premium  is  amortized  on a  straight  line  basis to the  maturity  of the
investment.  Futures  contracts  and options  are valued  based upon their daily
settlement prices.




                               COVA SERIES TRUST
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           JUNE 30, 1997 (UNAUDITED)



B. SECURITY  TRANSACTIONS - Security  transactions  are recorded on a trade date
basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. The
Funds may purchase and sell securities on a "when issued" or "delayed  delivery"
basis,  with  settlement to occur at a later date.  The value of the security so
purchased is subject to market  fluctuations  during this period. The Funds will
maintain in a segregated account with their custodian assets having an aggregate
value at least  equal to the  amount  of the when  issued  or  delayed  delivery
purchase commitments until payment is made.

C.  INVESTMENT  INCOME  AND  EXPENSES  -  Dividend  income  is  recorded  on the
ex-dividend  date and interest  income and expenses are recorded  when earned or
incurred, respectively.

D.  FEDERAL  INCOME  TAXES  - It is  the  Trust's  policy  to  comply  with  the
requirements  of  Subchapter  M of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  applicable  to
regulated  investment  companies  and  to  distribute  substantially  all of its
taxable  income,  including  net realized  gains,  if any, to its  shareholders.
Accordingly, the Funds have not recorded a provision for federal income taxes.

Distributions  from net  investment  income and capital gains are  determined in
accordance with federal income tax  regulations  which may differ from generally
accepted accounting principles.  As a result,  distributions may differ from net
investment income and net realized capital gains due to timing differences.

E.  DISTRIBUTION  OF  INCOME  AND GAINS - The  Funds,  except  the Money  Market
Portfolio,  declare, pay and automatically reinvest dividends semi-annually from
net investment  income.  The Money Market Portfolio  declares dividends from net
investment income daily and automatically reinvests such dividends daily.

Net  realized  gains,  if  any,  are  distributed  annually.  Distributions  are
automatically  reinvested in the Funds as additional shares.  Distributions from
net realized  gains for book purposes may include  short-term  capital gains and
gains from futures  transactions  which may be  characterized as ordinary income
for tax purposes.

                           JUNE 30, 1997 (UNAUDITED)




F.  DERIVATIVES - A derivative  financial  instrument,  in general  terms,  is a
security  whose  value is  "derived"  from the  value  of an  underlying  asset,
reference  rate or index.  The Funds  have  various  reasons  to use  derivative
instruments,  such as to attempt  to protect  the  Portfolios  against  possible
changes in the market value of its investments or to generate  potential  gains.
All of the Funds'  holdings,  including  derivative  instruments,  are marked to
market  each  day  with  the  change  in  value   reflected  in  the  unrealized
appreciation/depreciation  of investments.  Upon disposition, a realized gain or
loss is recognized accordingly.

The primary risks  associated  with the use of these  financial  instruments for
hedging purposes are (a) an imperfect  correlation  between the change in market
value of the other  securities  held by the Funds and the change in market value
of these financial  instruments,  and (b) the possibility of an illiquid market.
As a result,  the use of these financial  instruments may involve,  to a varying
degree,  elements  of  market  risk in excess of the  amount  recognized  in the
Statement of Assets and  Liabilities.  The following are brief  descriptions  of
derivative instruments held by the Funds.

         a. FUTURES CONTRACTS - A futures contract is an agreement involving the
delivery  of a  particular  asset on a  specified  future date at an agreed upon
price.  The Funds generally  invest in stock index futures.  These contracts are
generally  used to provide the return of an index without  purchasing all of the
securities  underlying  the index or as a substitute  for  purchasing or selling
specific securities.

Initial margin deposits made upon entering into futures contracts are recognized
as assets due from the broker.  During the period the futures  contract is open,
changes in the value of the  contract  are  recognized  as  unrealized  gains or
losses by  "marking  to  market" on a daily  basis to  reflect  the value of the
contract at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are made or
received  and  recognized  as  assets  due  from or  liabilities  to the  broker
depending  upon  whether  unrealized  gains or  losses  are  incurred.  When the
contract  is  closed,  the Fund  records a  realized  gain or loss  equal to the
difference  between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing  transaction  and
its basis in the contract.

         b. OPTIONS  CONTRACTS - An option  contract  gives the buyer the right,
but not the  obligation,  to buy  (call) or sell (put) an  underlying  item at a
fixed exercise price during a specified  period.  These  contracts are generally
used by the Funds to provide the return of an index  without  purchasing  all of
the securities underlying the index or as a substitute for purchasing or selling
specific securities.

Purchases of put and call options are  recorded as an  investment,  the value of
which is marked-to-market  daily. When a purchased option expires, the Fund will
realize a loss equal to the  premium  paid.  When the Fund enters into a closing
sale transaction,  the Fund will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the
sales  proceeds from the closing sale  transaction  are greater or less than the
cost of the option. When the Fund exercises a put option, it will realize a gain
or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale
will be decreased by the premium originally paid. When the Fund exercises a call
option,  the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be
increased by the premium originally paid.



                               COVA SERIES TRUST
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           JUNE 30, 1997 (UNAUDITED)


F.  DERIVATIVES - CONTINUED
The  premium  received  for a written  option is recorded  as a  liability.  The
liability  is  marked-to-market  based on the option's  quoted daily  settlement
price.  When an  option  expires  or the Fund  enters  into a  closing  purchase
transaction,  the Fund  realizes  a gain  (or  loss if the  cost of the  closing
purchase  transaction  exceeds  the premium  received  when the option was sold)
without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security and the
liability  related to such option is  eliminated.  When a written call option is
exercised,  the Fund  realizes  a gain or loss  from the sale of the  underlying
security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally
received.  If a written  put  option is  exercised,  the  amount of the  premium
originally  received will reduce the cost of the  underlying  security which the
Fund purchased.

The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally
paid.  The risk in  writing  a call  option  is that the  Fund  may  forego  the
opportunity for profit if the market price of the underlying  security increases
and the option is  exercised.  The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund
may incur a loss if the market price of the  underlying  security  decreases and
the option is exercised.  In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the
counterparties  to  the  transactions  are  unable  to  meet  the  terms  of the
contracts.

         c.  FORWARD  FOREIGN  CURRENCY  CONTRACTS  - The  International  Equity
Portfolio  may  enter  into  forward  foreign  currency  contracts  to hedge its
portfolio holdings against future movements in certain foreign currency exchange
rates. A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign
currency at a future date at a set price.  The forward  currency  contracts  are
valued at the forward rate and are marked-to-market  daily. The change in market
value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized  gain or loss.  When the contract
is closed,  the Fund  recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference
between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the
time it was closed.

The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in
the  underlying  prices of the  securities of the Fund,  but it does establish a
rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future.  Although  forward  foreign
currency  contracts  limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the
currency  holdings,  they also limit any potential gain that might result should
the value of the currency  increase.  In addition,  the Fund could be exposed to
risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the
contracts.

G. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - Assets and liabilities  denominated in foreign
currencies are translated  into U.S.  dollars at the rate of exchange at the end
of the period.  Purchases and sales of securities are translated at the rates of
exchange  prevailing  when such  securities  were  acquired  or sold.  Income is
translated at rates of exchange prevailing when interest is accrued or dividends
are recorded.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           JUNE 30, 1997 (UNAUDITED)


G.  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - CONTINUED
The Fund does not isolate  that portion of the results of  operations  resulting
from changes in foreign  exchange  rates on  investments  from the  fluctuations
arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such  fluctuations are
included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported  net  realized  foreign  exchange  gains or losses arise from sales and
maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains
or  losses  realized  between  the  trade  and  settlement  dates on  securities
transactions,  the difference  between the amounts of dividends,  interest,  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.

H. REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS - The Funds may enter into repurchase  agreements with
selected  commercial  banks and  broker-dealers,  under which the Fund  acquires
securities  and agrees to resell the securities at an agreed upon time and at an
agreed  upon price.  The Fund  accrues as interest  the  difference  between the
amount it pays for the securities and the amount it receives upon resale. At the
time the Fund enters into a repurchase  agreement,  the value of the  underlying
security  including accrued interest will be equal to or exceed the value of the
repurchase agreement and, for repurchase agreements that mature in more than one
day, the seller will agree that the value of the underlying  security  including
accrued  interest  will  continue  to be at  least  equal  to the  value  of the
repurchase agreement.

I. REVERSE  REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS - The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements  with  selected  commercial  banks or  broker-dealers.  In a  reverse
repurchase agreement, the Fund sells securities and agrees to repurchase them at
a mutually agreed upon date and price.  During the reverse repurchase  agreement
period,  the Fund continues to receive  principal and interest payments on these
securities but pays interest to the counter-party  based upon competitive market
rates at the time of  issuance.  At the time  the  Fund  enters  into a  reverse
repurchase  agreement,  it will establish and maintain a segregated account with
the  custodian  containing  liquid  assets  having  a value  not  less  than the
repurchase  price  (including  accrued  interest).  If the  counterparty  to the
transaction is rendered insolvent, the ultimate realization of the securities to
be repurchased by the Fund may be delayed or limited.


2.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement with Cova Investment
Advisory  Corporation (the "Adviser")  (formerly  Oakbrook  Investment  Advisory
Corporation), pursuant to which the Adviser manages the investment operations of

6.  MORTGAGE AND ASSET BACKED SECURITIES
The Quality  Income and Quality  Bond  Portfolios  invest in Mortgage  and Asset
Backed Securities.  A Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) is a pass-through  security
created by pooling and selling  participations  in the  principal  and  interest
payments  received from  borrowers.  Most of these  securities are guaranteed by
federally sponsored agencies -- Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA),
Federal  National  Mortgage  Association  (FNMA),  Federal  Home  Loan  Mortgage
Corporation (FHLMC) or Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).

A Collateralized  Mortgage Obligation (CMO) is a bond which is collateralized by
a pool of MBSs.  The Quality Income and Quality Bond  Portfolios  also invest in
REMICs (Real Estate Mortgage Investment  Conduits) which are simply another form
of CMO.  These MBS pools are divided  into  classes or tranches  with each class
having its own characteristics. For instance, a PAC (Planned Amortization Class)
is a specific  class of mortgages  with the most stable cash flow and the lowest
prepayment risk.

Asset  Backed  Securities  are  similar  to MBSs  but  made up of pools of other
assets,  such as  credit  card  receivables,  which  are  grouped  together  for
investment  purposes.  Payments of principal and interest on the  securities are
made from the cash flows of the group of assets.
