Dear Shareholders,
Both the optimists and the pessimists can find comfort in the latest batch of
economic data. For the optimists, the economy's inflation threatening growth
has lost momentum, lessoning one of the biggest concerns in the financial
markets. In April, job-creation downshifted measurably, retail sales fell,
businesses started with higher inventories, and factories cut production.
Wholesale prices fell for the fourth consecutive month, and the consumer price
index edged up 0.1 percent keeping it on track to increase by less than 3
percent again this year.
The pessimists look at the same data and put an entirely different spin on
things. They contend that the slowdown was inevitable from the first
quarter's robust six percent pace. Beneath the surface, growth resurgence
will rise with the tight labor market and a jobless rate hovering at a 24 year
low. Also supporting their views are climbing wages, and an upbeat household
sector as indicated by consumer confidence.
For the time being, the Federal Reserve is siding with the optimists. In the
past, this may have provoked a negative reaction in the financial markets, as
investors would worry that the Central Bank was relaxing its anti-inflation
policy. But Chairman Allan Greenspan and his colleagues have built up
formidable inflation-fighting credentials.
During the first half of the year the Fund utilized a partial hedge. Futures
contracts in U.S. Treasury Bonds were employed. In the first quarter as
interest rates rose this had the effect of minimizing share price erosion. In
the second quarter as interest rates retreated share price increases were
tempered. The overall effect to the Fund in the first six months was a
greater degree of share price stability.
Looking into our crystal ball, we feel that the economy's current slowdown
is more likely to be temporary. That prospect increases the odds of a rate
hike by the Federal Reserve in the coming months. As such, we remain
concerned (and have positioned the portfolio accordingly) that a modest
increase in rates may be needed to prevent unbridled growth.
Over the remaining half of the year, management intends to maintain the
portfolio quality while diversifying throughout the State. Reasonable tax
- -exempt income and preservation of capital remain as the chief objectives of
the Fund.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Walstad Monte L. Avery
President Chief Portfolio Strategist

Terms & Definitions
- -------------------
Average Annual Total Return
A standardized measurement of the return (yield and appreciation) earned
by the fund on an annual basis.
Coupon Rate or Face Rate
The rate of interest annually payable based on the face amount of the
bond; expressed as a percentage.
Duration
A measurement of a security or a portfolio's price volatility based on
maturity, callability and coupon rate. The larger the number, the
greater the price change for a given interest rate change.
Lehman Brother's Municipal Bond Index
An unmanaged list of long-term, fixed-rate, investment-grade, tax-exempt
bonds representative of the municipal bond market. The index does not
take into account brokerage commissions or other costs, may include bonds
different from those in the fund, and may pose different risks than the
fund.

Maturity
A measure of the term or life of a bond in years. When a bond "matures",
the issuer repays the principal.

The value of all your fund's assets, minus any liabilities, divided by
the number of outstanding shares, not including any initial or contingent
deferred sales charge.

Putting Performance into Perspective
The graph comparing your Fund's performance to a benchmark index provides you
with a general sense of how your Fund performed. To put this information in
context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the
two. Your Fund's total return for the period shown appears with and without
sales charges and includes Fund expenses and management fees. A securities
index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio. Unlike a fund, the
index is unmanaged; there are no expenses that affect the results. In
addition, few investors could purchase all of the securities necessary to
match the index. And, if they could, they would incur transaction costs and
other expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1997(Unaudited)
Note 1. ORGANIZATION
ND Insured Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment
company. The Fund incorporated under the laws of the State of North Dakota on
November 27, 1990 and commenced operations on March 19, 1991. The Fund's
objective is to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent
with prudent investment management, preservation of capital, and ready
marketability of its portfolio. The Fund will seek to achieve this objective
by investing primarily in a portfolio of debt securities, including U.S.
Government securities and insured corporate bonds.
Shares of the Fund are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge
of 4.5% of the offering price.
Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Investment security valuation - Investments in securities traded on national
securities exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price at the close
of each business day. Securities for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the
portfolio management team. The Fund follows industry practice and records
security transactions on the trade date.
Federal and state income taxes - It is the Fund's policy to comply with
the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income and any
net realized gain on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision
for income taxes is required. The Fund has available at June 30, 1997, a net
capital loss carryforward totaling $51,548, which may be used to offset capital
gains realized during subsequent years through December 31, 2003.
Distributions to shareholders - Dividends from net investment income, declared
daily and paid monthly, are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at
net asset value or paid in cash. Capital gains, when available, are
distributed along with the last income dividend of the calendar year.
Investment income - Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and
interest income is recognized daily on an accrual basis. Premiums and
discounts on securities purchased are amortized using the effective interest
method over the life of the respective securities, unless callable, in which
case they are amortized to the earliest call date.
Futures contracts - The Fund may purchase and sell financial futures contracts
to hedge against changes in the values of securities the Fund owns or expects
to purchase.
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell units
of a particular index or a certain amount of U.S. Government securities at a
set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund
is required to deposit with a broker an amount of cash or securities equal to
the minimum "initial margin" requirement of the futures exchange on which the
contract is traded. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or
received by the Fund, dependent on the fluctuations in the value of the
underlying index. Daily fluctuations in value are recorded for financial
reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the fund. When entering
<PAGE>
into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize, for book purposes, a gain
or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contracts
sold and the futures contracts to buy. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
related to open futures contracts is required to be treated as realized gain
(loss) for Federal income tax purposes.
Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts. These risks may
include changes in the value of the futures contracts that may not directly
correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.
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
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 3. SHARE TRANSACTIONS
As of June 30, 1997, there were 200,000,000 shares of $.001 par value
authorized; 270,355 and 291,865 were outstanding at June 30, 1997 and December
31, 1996, respectively.
Transactions in capital shares were as follows:

=================================
Note 4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
ND Money Management, Inc., the Fund's investment adviser, ND Capital, Inc.,
the Fund's underwriter, and ND Resources, Inc., the Fund's transfer and
accounting services agent, are subsidiaries of ND Holdings, Inc., the Fund's
sponsor.
The Fund has engaged ND Capital as agent for the purchase of certain
investment securities. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 commissions
earned by ND Capital, Inc. totaled $375 and are included in the cost basis
of the securities acquired.
The Fund has engaged ND Money Management, Inc., to provide investment advisory
and management services to the Fund. The Investment Advisory Agreement
provides for fees to be computed at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund's
average daily net assets. Total investment advisory fees incurred during the
six months ended June 30, 1997 were $7,744. Certain officers and directors of
the Fund are also officers and directors of the investment adviser.
<PAGE>
As of June 30, 1997, the Fund owed ND Money Management $1,251 for investment
advisory fees incurred but not paid, and owed ND Holdings, Inc. $625 for other
expenses.
ND Resources, Inc., (the transfer agent), provides shareholder services for a
monthly fee equal to an annual rate of 0.16% of the Fund's first $10 million
of net assets, 0.13% of the Fund's net assets on the next $15 million, 0.11%
of the Fund's net assets on the next $15 million, 0.10% of the Fund's net
assets on the next $10 million, and 0.09% of the Fund's net assets in excess
of $50 million. The Fund has recognized $2,043 of transfer agency fees for
the six months ended June 30, 1997. ND Resources, Inc. also acts as the Fund's
accounting services agent for a monthly fee equal to the sum of a fixed fee of
$2,000, and a variable fee equal to 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net
assets on an annual basis for the Fund's first $50 million and at a lower rate
on the average daily net assets in excess of $50 million. The Fund has
recognized $12,645 of accounting service fees for the six months ended June 30,
1997.
Note 5. INVESTMENT SECURITY TRANSACTIONS
Proceeds from sale of investment securities (excluding short-term securities)
aggregated $173,411, $110,303 and $47,875 for corporate bonds and notes, U.S.
Government obligations and taxable municipal securities respectively, with
cost of purchases totaling $369,992 for corporate bonds and notes for the
six months ended June 30, 1997.
Note 6. CALCULATION OF PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE
Using the net asset value of one share and the sales charge percentage, the
maximum public offering price was determined as follows for an investment of
less than $100,000 made on June 30, 1997:
Divided by Maximum
Net Asset (1.00 - 0.045) Public
Value of For a 4.50% Offering
One Share Sales Charge Price
----------------------------------------
$9.25 .955 $9.69
On sales of greater than $100,000, the sales charge is reduced on a
sliding scale.
Note 7. SPECIAL RISK CONSIDERATIONS
The Fund is registered as a non-diversified investment company, and therefore
will be able to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited
number of issuers, thus making the Fund more susceptible to a single economic,
political, or regulatory occurrence than a diversified company. The Fund also
is exposed to a certain degree of market risk and liquidity risk in that as
cash flow needs arise, investment securities may have to be sold under
unfavorable market conditions.
Under normal market conditions, at least 65% of the Fund's portfolio
securities will be protected by insurance. The insurance policies guarantee
only the timely payment of principal and interest on the insured securities.
Market value, which may fluctuate due to changes in interest rates or factors
affecting the credit of the issuer or the insurer, is not insured.
Note 8. INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES
<PAGE>
At June 30, 1997, the aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax
purposes was $2,490,798, and the net unrealized depreciation of investments
based on the cost was $24,354, which was comprised of $17,724 aggregate gross
unrealized appreciation and $42,078 aggregate gross unrealized depreciation.
