Independent Auditors' Report
The Stockholders and Board of Directors
Real Silk Investments, Incorporated:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Real
Silk Investments, Incorporated, including the schedule of investments in
securities, as of December 31, 1996, and the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the
financial highlights for each of the years in the two-year period ended
December 31, 1996. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audit. The financial highlights for the years ended
December 31, 1992 through December 31, 1994 were audited by other auditors
whose report thereon, dated January 19, 1995, expressed an unqualified
opinion.
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 December 31, 1996 by correspondence with the
custodian. 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
Real Silk Investments, Incorporated at December 31, 1996, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and
the financial highlights for each of years in the two-year period ended
December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

REAL SILK INVESTMENTS, INCORPORATED
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1996
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Real Silk Investments, Incorporated (the Company) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as a closed-end diversified
management investment company. The Company, which primarily invests
in common stock, has no external managers and pays no management fees.
The significant accounting policies of the Company, which are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for closed-end
management investment companies, are described below.
Investments
Investments in securities traded on national securities exchanges or the
NASDAQ National Market are valued at the last reported sales price.
Other securities traded on the over-the-counter market are valued at
the closing bid prices. Bonds and notes are valued on the basis of
quotations furnished by recognized trade sources. Purchases and sales of
securities are recorded as of the trade dates. The cost bases of
investments for federal income tax purposes are the same as the book
values.
Investment Income
Dividend and interest income are recorded on the accrual basis of
accounting. Cash dividends from securities are recorded as income on
the ex-dividend dates. Dividends for which the recipient has the
choice to receive cash or stock are recognized as investment income in
the amount payable in cash. Other noncash dividends are recognized as
investment income at the fair market value of the property received.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
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 increase and
decrease in net assets from operations during the period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Federal Income Tax
Prior to January 1, 1989, the Company was subject to federal income tax
as a regular ("C") corporation. Beginning January 1, 1989, the Company
qualified and elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company
within the meaning of Section 851 of the Internal Revenue Code and is
currently reporting tax on such basis. As a regulated investment
company, the Company generally does not pay federal income tax at the
corporate level on current earnings which are passed through to its
stockholders.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 gives the United States Treasury Department
the authority, under Section 337(d)(1), to promulgate regulations to
assure that the purposes of certain provisions of that Act (those
taxing appreciated property on the sale or liquidation of a
corporation) are not circumvented by the use of various entities,
including regulated investment companies. In Notice 88-19, the
Treasury stated its intention to issue regulations generally making a
C corporation taxable on built-in gains at the time it converts to a
regulated investment company, but permitting it to elect to be subject
to rules similar to those applicable to a corporation which elects to
be taxed as an S corporation. Those rules impose a tax on the built-in
gains of a C corporation which are realized during the first ten years
following the election to be taxed as an S corporation. If the
intended regulations were adopted as described in Notice 88-19, the
appreciation of the assets of the Company as of January 1, 1989 (the
"built-in gains") would be taxed to the extent these gains were
realized prior to January 1, 1999. To date, no such regulations have
been issued.
Because the authority to promulgate such regulations exists and because
the Treasury Department issued Notice 88-19, the Company has recorded a
deferred tax liability in its financial statements for the potential
tax. If the deferred tax liability did not exist, which will at least
occur as of January 1, 1999, the net asset value of the Company would
be increased by the amount of the deferred tax liability, which amounts
to approximately $78.80 per share at December 31, 1996.
As built-in gains have been realized, the Company has deposited with the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) amounts representing the potential tax
on the realized built-in gains. However, because no regulations have
been issued, the Company, while continuing to make the deposits, is also
requesting refunds of the amounts deposited to protect the Company's
right to those deposits should regulations not be issued.
In December 1996, the Company received from the IRS a refund of taxes
paid in 1992 of $10,563. The Company cannot predict whether or when
relevant regulations will be issued or what the response of the IRS
will be to the Company's requests for additional refunds.
Also, the Company is a personal holding company as defined in Section
542 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a personal holding company, the
Company is subject to a special surtax on any undistributed personal
holding company income. However, the Company distributes all of its
personal holding company income.
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for
financial statement and tax purposes. The character of distributions
made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains
(losses), if any, may differ from the ultimate characterization for
federal income tax purposes.
Distributions to Stockholders
The policy of the Company is to distribute all investment company
taxable income and to retain as much tax-exempt income as possible
without incurring tax at the corporate level and without jeopardizing
the Company's regulated investment company status. All or most of its
net realized long-term capital gains are retained.
As a regulated investment company, the Company may annually elect to
treat retained long-term capital gains as distributed to its
stockholders on the last day of the year. The Company must pay a tax
at the highest corporate rate on the retained gains deemed distributed.
The stockholders include these capital gains in their individual
income tax returns and receive a credit equal to their share of the
tax paid by the Company. The difference between the gains retained by
the Company and the tax paid by the Company on behalf of the
stockholders is added by the stockholders to the basis of their stock.
For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company realized long-term
capital gains of $637,597, realized no capital losses, paid a deposit
of the built-in gains tax of $19,268, received a refund of 1992
built-in gains tax deposit of $10,563, and accrued income taxes of
$143,365 on retained long-term capital gains (note 3), resulting in a
net realized capital gain of $485,527.
The Company had a capital loss carryforward of $227,984 from prior
years which was used to partially offset the capital gain realized in
1996 of $637,597, resulting in a net gain of $409,613 (or $2.49 per
share) as of December 31, 1996, which the Company elected to retain and
treat as distributed to stockholders as of December 31, 1996. The
deemed distribution, net of the tax paid on behalf of the stockholders
of $143,365 (or $.87 per share), has been reclassified by the Company
to paid-in-capital resulting in an increase in the stockholders' basis
of $266,248 (or $1.62 per share).
Note 2 - Net Assets
The Company's net assets at December 31, 1996 were comprised of the
following elements:
Common stock ($5.00 par value) and additional paid-in capital;
300,000 shares authorized, 164,683 shares
issued and outstanding $ 22,147,992
Accumulated undistributed income:

$425,154 less deferred federal income tax of $12,976,591 78,402,327
Net assets at December 31, 1996 $ 101,347,344

December 31, 1996:

Refund of 1992 built-in gains deposit 10,563

The federal income tax is computed at a rate of 35% on the built-in
unrealized gains which existed at January 1, 1989 (the effective date of
the Company's election to be taxed as a regulated investment company-
note 1) and which were realized during the year ended December 31, 1996.
Net built-in gains realized during the year ended December 31, 1996 were
$55,050. As discussed in note 1, it is the Company's intent to request a
refund from the IRS of the built-in gain tax deposit.

December 31, 1996 was as follows:
Money market funds $ 8,543,054
