 CALM AFTER THE STORM

[PHOTO]
NOEL P. RAHN
CHAIRMAN

The milestones keep coming faster and faster. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
broke the 5,000 barrier last November. Less than a year later, the Dow has now
broken through 6,000. That's pretty remarkable when you consider that the Dow
Jones Industrial Average was under 1,000 as recently as 1982.

There are many reasons to remain optimistic about the financial markets. After a
strong second quarter, the U.S. economy seems to be moderating its pace, growing
fast enough to generate corporate profits, but not so fast to bring back
inflation. Interest rates have stabilized, as the Federal Reserve Board took no
action before the presidential election, calming the market.

Still, the road hasn't always been smooth in 1996. The first half of this summer
was an eye-opener for many investors. After reaching a high of 5780 on May 22,
the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell about 7 percent by the end of July--more,
if you count swings in intra-day trading. And small cap stocks, those that
typically trade on NASDAQ, fell as much as 20 percent. The reason for the
turbulence was investor fears, generated by job growth data and increases in
commodity prices, that the economy was becoming overheated. Corporate profits in
the second quarter rose sharply. According to Business Week, corporate profits
rose 11 percent during the second quarter of 1996, compared to the same period
in 1995. In a pattern that often confounds politicians, good news in the economy
is often bad news on Wall Street.

Just remember, though, that stock market corrections are normal. They're even
healthy, because they allow investors to buy stocks at temporarily depressed
prices. For two months, the Dow fell steadily from 5780 in May to less than 5300
in July before rallying in early August back to the 5700 level. Of course,
nobody knows when the market will hit bottom. Many Wall Street pundits told the
media that the stock market was headed lower, perhaps much lower. But they were
wrong, as is often the case.

We don't recommend that you try to time the market. Even the pros can't get it
right consistently. That's why dollar cost averaging is such a good strategy. By
contributing a fixed amount into the market each month, your money buys more
shares when the market is low and fewer shares when the market is high. This
simple yet time honored method typically allows you to purchase shares at a
lower average cost.

Another way to minimize the impact of market turbulence is to make sure that you
are properly diversified. The fixed income market typically offers stability to
a portfolio, and is particularly appropriate for those investors who rely on
income as opposed to price appreciation. The international equity markets also
offer a way to diversify your portfolio, since the economies in other parts of
the world are in different stages than the U.S. economy.

Over the next six months, the markets will undoubtedly be affected by the
results of the U.S. presidential election as well as uncertainties regarding the
new Congress. And, as we've seen so far in 1996, there is great potential for
volatility. But the markets continue to demonstrate a remarkable resiliency.

                     IAI GROWTH FUND, IAI MIDCAP GROWTH FUND

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

Larry Hill, IAI's Chief Fixed Income Officer, provides his economic outlook
below.

The economy has been stuck in a pattern of mini-cycles where periods of strength
are followed by periods of weakness. After expanding at a rate of about 3.4% in
the first half of this year, growth has slowed to 2.2% in the third quarter and
may be somewhat slower than that pace in the fourth quarter.

Recognizing the ebb and flow of the economy is critical to understanding the
recent behavior of the financial markets. The U.S. economy is operating only
slightly below its non-inflationary capacity. An extended period of real
strength would push resource utilization beyond its limits, producing higher
inflation, a tighter Federal Reserve policy, rising interest rates and an
eventual recession. Pauses, such as the one we are currently experiencing, help
extend the cycle and postpone these events. Thus, the markets respond favorably
to signs of a slowdown, as long as the slowdown does not go too far.

Lower growth rates in the second half of the year should relieve some
inflationary pressures without seriously damaging the expansion. New job
creation has slowed in the last two months, but remains on a upward trend. The
unemployment rate of 5.2% is close to a seven-year low, but labor costs are
still contained. Consumer confidence remains high, but spending has slowed as
consumers re-liquefy. Money and credit growth are providing ample liquidity, but
the excesses of earlier this year are dissipating. Commodity prices (including
the price of gold) appear to be headed lower, the budget deficit is at its
lowest level in 15 years and the U.S. dollar is firm. Overall, the slowdown
helps to preserve a favorable economic background for stocks and bonds.

Eventually this cycle will end in its usual way, with an overheating economy,
higher inflation, tighter monetary policy and a recession. Although this is not
likely to develop in the next six months, investors should remember that the
current pause is sure to be followed by renewed strength along with a pullback
in the markets. With this in mind, it is important to focus on a long-term
financial plan and not react to the emotions of the moment. Instead, periods of
volatility should be used to realign a well diversified portfolio or invest cash
reserves. In the months immediately ahead, we expect the firming trend of stock
and bond prices to continue.

Please read the Fund Managers' Reviews, which follow this letter, for a detailed
perspective on each Fund's performance and our strategy going forward. We
appreciate your continued trust and confidence in IAI. If there is any way we

FUND OBJECTIVE

The investment objective of the IAI Capital Appreciation Fund is long-term
capital appreciation. It is designed for investors seeking the opportunity for
substantial long-term growth who can accept above-average stock market risk and
little or no current income. In general, the IAI Capital Appreciation Fund will
concentrate on companies that have superior performance records, solid market
positions, strong balance sheets and a management team capable of sustaining
growth. Although the Fund will typically invest in common stocks of smaller
emerging and mid-sized companies, it may invest in companies of any size
offering strong earnings growth potential.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE PAST SIX-MONTH PERFORMANCE

For the six months ended September 30, 1996, the IAI Capital Appreciation Fund
produced a total return of 32.04%. In contrast, the Russell 2500 Index reflected
a total return of 6.51% while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index generated a return
of 7.76%. Since inception on February 1, the IAI Capital Appreciation Fund
produced a total return of 48.41% while the Russell 2500 Index reflected a total
return of 11.96% and the S&P 500 Index was up 9.87%.

In strong markets and weak markets, the IAI Capital Appreciation Fund generally
continues to outperform its benchmarks. For example, in the strong months of
August and September, the IAI Capital Appreciation Fund produced a combined
total return of 15.0%. In contrast, the Russell 2500 was up 10.3% while the
Standard & Poors 500 Index was up 7.9%. In the very weak months of June and
July, the IAI Capital Appreciation Fund was down 4.7%, while the S&P 500 was
down 4.1% and the Russell 2500 was down 10.2%. Of course, past performance is
not predictive of future results.

One way we attempt to limit a source of underperformance is by diversifying
widely among industry sectors. The goal is to never be caught with big
weightings in the wrong sectors--earning gains when a sector becomes "hot" and
suffering less when a sector turns "cold." Another way we limit a source of
underperformance is by employing a "great companies at good prices" approach to
stock selection. Because it is neither "pure growth" nor "pure value," this
style should never be extremely out of favor. Furthermore, stocks of high
quality companies have historically had less volatility.

OUTLOOK

With the June/July correction behind us, we are more optimistic about the stock
market's direction over the next few months. The domestic economy continues to
grow moderately, which is providing a favorable backdrop for the market. As
always, the Fund's holdings do not reflect economic bets. We believe that the
Fund continues to hold pieces of well-managed, underappreciated, high-quality
businesses, whose stocks should perform well in most market environments.

FUND OBJECTIVE

The IAI Emerging Growth Fund is designed for investors who seek long-term
capital appreciation. It pursues its objective of long-term capital appreciation
by investing primarily in equity securities of small- and medium-sized
companies. These companies are in the early stages of their life cycles and have
demonstrated or have the potential for above-average capital growth.

The Fund closed to new investors on February 1, 1996. Emerging Growth Fund's
current shareholders may add to an existing account and certain others may make
an initial investment in the Fund.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE PAST SIX-MONTH PERFORMANCE

For the six months ended September 30, 1996, the IAI Emerging Growth Fund
produced a total return of 9.90%. In contrast, the Russell 2500 Index reflected
a total return of 6.51% while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index generated a return
of 7.76%. For the twelve months ended September 30, 1996, the IAI Emerging
Growth Fund produced a total return of 30.75% while the Russell 2500 Index
reflected a total return of 15.83% and the S&P 500 Index was up 20.39%.

The IAI Emerging Growth Fund took advantage of the recent turbulence in the
small capitalization stock market by upgrading the quality and the growth rate
of the companies in the portfolio. The Fund added nine new stocks to the
portfolio during the third quarter, including companies doing business in the
financial, health care, retailing and service industries.

Among the more interesting companies in the portfolio are Employee Solutions,
Stein Mart, OccuSystems and Acxiom. Employee Solutions is an employee leasing
company which brings economies of scale available at a large employer to that of
a small organization. Employee Solutions offers a small employer an opportunity
to provide full benefit packages and better workman's compensation management.
We believe the market for this service is very large, since most new jobs
created in the United States are created by small businesses. In retailing, we
added Stein Mart, which sells brand name merchandise in the Southeastern United
States at 25% to 35% discounts, primarily by keeping their overhead lower than
the typical department store. In health care, we've added OccuSystems, a
physician's practice management company specializing in workman's compensation.
And Acxiom, another new stock, provides direct marketing organizations with
specialized customer data.

OUTLOOK

After a difficult July for most small cap stocks, the IAI Emerging Growth Fund
bounced back strongly in August and September. Our current outlook is positive,
as the inflation backdrop appears benign, the economy continues to grow
moderately, the election polls indicate not much change in the status quo, and
mutual fund industry inflows are picking up again, fueling the demand for
stocks.

FUND OBJECTIVE

The IAI Growth Fund is designed for investors who seek long-term capital
appreciation. It pursues its objective of long-term capital appreciation by
investing primarily in equity securities of established companies.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE PAST SIX-MONTH PERFORMANCE

For the six months ended September 30, 1996, the IAI Growth Fund produced a
total return of 8.24%. In contrast, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index generated a
return of 7.76%. For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 1996, the IAI
Growth Fund produced a total return of 12.70% while the S&P 500 Index was up
20.39%.

The six-month period continues to be characterized by takeover activity. Office
Depot and Staples announced a merger that would combine the two largest
companies in the retail office supply business. Instead of waiting to receive
Staples stock, we liquidated our position of Office Depot because of our concern
that the transaction will receive greater antitrust scrutiny than expected. In
addition, we believe that investors are underestimating the challenge of
integrating two very different distribution models. 

The landmark Telecommunications Act of 1996 has created a great deal of
confusion and uncertainty in media stocks, both cable and broadcast. But
confusion and uncertainty often leads to investment opportunity. During the
third quarter, we initiated positions in Cox Communications and US West Media,
both large operators of cable television systems. These companies are well
positioned to thrive in the new environment because of their technological
leadership, superior customer service and upgraded networks. Both will be among
the fastest growing media companies over the next five years as they introduce a
bevy of new services.

Danka Business Systems was a major contributor to performance in the third
quarter. The catalyst to the stock's resurgence was the company's announcement
that they are buying the copier division of Eastman Kodak. Another positive
development was the acquisition of Duracell by Gillette, two superb consumer
franchises which will both benefit from each other's marketing and distribution
strengths.

OUTLOOK

The IAI Growth Fund invests in U.S. companies with growth prospects that exceed
the market as a whole. Our goal is to assemble a portfolio of stocks that sell
at an average stock market multiple of earnings, yet offer greater growth
prospects than the average company.

Although we focus on bottom-up stock selection, we are very concerned with one
particular economic statistic--inflation--the greatest threat to the value of
financial assets. Despite periodic concerns, especially in the bond market, of a
resurgence in inflation, we remain optimistic that this important economic
statistic will remain low.

FUND OBJECTIVE

The IAI Midcap Growth Fund is designed for investors who seek long-term capital
appreciation. It pursues its objective of long-term capital appreciation by
investing primarily in equity securities of medium-sized companies. The Fund
defines "medium" as companies with market capitalizations (stock price
multiplied by the number of shares outstanding) between $500 million and $5
billion.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE PAST SIX-MONTH PERFORMANCE

For the six months ended September 30, 1996, the IAI Midcap Growth Fund produced
a total return of 6.74%. In contrast, the Standard & Poor's Midcap Index
generated a return of 5.88% while the S&P 500 Index produced a return of 7.76%.
For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 1996, the IAI Midcap Growth Fund
produced a total return of 17.10% while the S&P Midcap Index was up 14.00% and
the S&P 500 Index was up 20.39%.

During 1996, merger and acquisition activity has had a very positive impact on
the portfolio. One of our holdings, Office Depot, received and accepted a
takeover bid from Staples, which is making an attempt to become the undisputed
leader in office supply retailing. We elected to liquidate our position because
of our concern that the transaction will be scrutinized for antitrust problems,
as well as our belief that integrating the two companies will be more difficult
than anticipated. 

As a result of Wall Street's pre-occupation with M&A activity, there are a
number of excellent midsized companies that we were able to purchase at
attractive prices. One such company is Lexmark International, formerly IBM's
printer and typewriter division. Lexmark International is thought to be the
technological leader in laser printers, carving out a very profitable niche in
the market. Laser and ink jet printers now comprise 80% of the company's
revenues. The company has been able to compete with industry-leader
Hewlett-Packard by targeting specific industries such as financial institutions,
retailing and pharmacies.

JLG Industries manufactures and distrib-utes mobile elevating work platforms for
maintenance and construction crews. Increasing safety regulations for
con-struction projects around the world are helping to fuel growth, particularly
in Latin America and the Pacific Rim. The company competes very effectively in a
narrow market niche which is expected to grow at an annual rate of 15% for the
next five to seven years.

OUTLOOK

Although we focus on bottom-up stock selection, the one economic statistic that
gets our attention is inflation--the greatest threat to the value of financial
assets. Despite periodic concerns, especially in the bond market, of a
resurgence in inflation, we remain optimistic that this important economic
statistic will remain low.

of the Growth Fund from July 31 to March 31. Accordingly, certain information
for the Growth Fund is presented for the eight-month period from August 1, 1994
to March 31, 1995.

Emerging Growth Fund has closed to new investors as of February 1, 1996.
Emerging Growth Fund's current shareholders and certain others may continue to
add to an existing account. The Fund may resume sales to new investors at some
future date, but it has no present intention to do so.

Significant accounting policies followed by the Funds are summarized below:

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
traded on the over-the-counter market are valued at the last reported sales
price or if the last sales price is not available, the last reported bid price
is used. Securities, including debt securities and restricted securities, for
which quotations are not readily available are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in good faith
using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board
of Directors. Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less from the
date of initial acquisition are valued at amortized cost. Short-term securities
with maturities greater than 60 days from the date of initial acquisition are
marked-to-market on a daily basis.

Restricted securities for which there is no public market are valued at fair
value in good faith as determined by the Board of Directors.

FUTURES AND OPTIONS CONTRACTS

In order to increase exposure to and hedge against changes in the market, the
Funds may buy and sell futures contracts and options. The risk of entering into
future and option contracts include the possibility that changes in the value of
these contracts may not correlate with changes in the underlying security.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price of the exchange on which
they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to
deposit either cash or securities, representing the initial margin, equal to a
certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent changes in the value of the
contract or variation margin, are recorded daily as unrealized gains or losses.
Variation margin is paid or received in cash daily by the Fund. The Fund
realizes a gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.

Options traded on an exchange are valued using the last sale price, and those
traded over-the-counter are valued using dealer-supplied valuations, resulting
in unrealized appreciation or depreciation being recorded. The Fund will realize
a gain or loss upon expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an
option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the
purchased cost for a written put option or the cost of a security for a
purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or
paid.

The Fund is subject to credit risk that the other party will not complete
obligations of the contract.

FEDERAL TAXES

Since it is each Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all
of its taxable income to its shareholders, no provision for income taxes is
required. In order to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes, each Fund
is required to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
realized gains on a calendar year basis.

Net investment income and net realized gains differ for financial statement and
tax purposes primarily because of recognition of limited partnership income and
the deferral of "wash sale" losses for tax purposes. The character of
distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized
gains may also differ from its ultimate characterization for tax purposes.

For federal income tax purposes Capital Appreciation Fund has a capital loss
carryover of approximately $22,000, at March 31, 1996 which, if not offset by
subsequent capital gains, will expire in 2005. It is unlikely the Board of
Directors will authorize a distribution of any net realized gains until the
available capital loss carryover is offset or expires.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS
AND INVESTMENT INCOME

The Funds record security transactions on trade date, the date the securities
are purchased or sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is accrued daily. The Funds amortize discount purchased on
long-term bonds using the level yield method of amortization. Security gains and
losses are determined on the basis of identified cost, which is the same basis
used for federal income tax purposes. The Funds use the equity method of
accounting for limited partnerships.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO
SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-date. Distributions from
net investment income are made semi-annually. Capital gains, if any, are
primarily distributed as of the end of the calendar year. Additional capital
gains distributions as needed to comply with federal tax regulations are
distributed during the year.

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 results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

[2] COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

For purposes of obtaining certain types of insurance coverage for the Funds and
its officers and directors, the Funds are policyholders in an industry-sponsored
mutual insurance company (the Company). In connection with their obligations as
policyholders, the Funds have made payments to the Company which have been
capitalized. Also, the Funds are committed to make future capital contributions,
if requested by the Company.

Capital Appreciation Fund, Emerging Growth Fund, Growth Fund, and Midcap Growth
Fund have available lines of credit of $8,000,000, $14,851,289, $5,738,422 and
$15,000,000, respectively, with a bank at the prime interest rate. To the extent
funds are drawn against the line, securities are held in a segregated account.
No compensating balances or commitment fees are required under the line of
credit. During the year ended March 31, 1996, the Funds paid $139, $2,094, $539,
and $131, respectively, in interest on the line of credit at an average rate of
8.25%. Advances under the line of credit totalled $148,711 and $11,578 for the
Emerging Growth Fund and the Growth Fund, respectively. There were no borrowings
outstanding at September 30, 1996 for the Capital Appreciation Fund and the
Midcap Growth Fund.

At September 30, 1996, the Funds are committed to invest additional amounts in
certain limited partnership investments held, as follows:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2] COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONT.)

Default by a limited partner of payment of a properly requested capital
contribution, other than default due to a legal determination that such
contribution need not be made, would result in forfeiture of such limited
partner's interest in any future profits and loss in the partnership and removal
from the limited partnership. The Funds' management intends to finance the
aforementioned commitments with available cash or with proceeds from the sale of
investments in short-term securities. Each Fund maintains in a segregated
account an amount equal to its aggregate unpaid commitments.

[3] FEES AND EXPENSES

Under terms of each Funds' Management Agreements, Adviser is required to pay for
all expenses of each Fund, except certain costs (primarily those incurred in the
purchase and sale of assets, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses and
compensation of Directors), in return for each Fund paying an all inclusive
management fee to Advisers. This fee is paid monthly and is equal to an annual
rate of 1.25% (1.40% for Capital Appreciation Fund) of each Funds' average daily
net assets, which declines to 1.10% (1.30% for Capital Appreciation Fund and
1.00% for Growth Fund) as each Fund's assets increase.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES

Included in the Funds' portfolios of investments in securities at September 30,
1996, are issues which generally cannot be offered for sale to the public
without first being registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("restricted
securities"). Such securities are generally illiquid. Each Fund limits
investments in securities which are not readily marketable to 15 percent of its
net assets at the time of purchase. This limitation does not include Rule 144A
securities that have been determined to be liquid based upon guidelines approved
by the Funds' Board of Directors.

At September 30, 1996 the Funds held restricted securities as follows:

                                                  Market                 % of
