A DAY FOR BUYING OPPORTUNITIES ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
[PHOTO]
NOEL P. RAHN
CHAIRMAN
In life, traumatic events grip our attention, sometimes compelling us to make
quick decisions, often rewarding us for remaining calm. As time passes, we
collect ourselves and attain a perspective.
The stock market is a case in point. The last few days of October broke records
for points lost and gained--and for trading volume, which reached a billion
shares per day. But now that we've had some time to reflect, what really
happened? And what does it mean over the long term?
The problem began in Southeast Asia, as those booming economies increasingly
became overbuilt. Investors, seeing trouble ahead, withdrew their money, causing
downward pressure on currencies in Thailand and Malaysia. The governments
attempted to boost their currencies by raising interest rates. That caused
investors in these fragile stock markets to flee. Once the panic spread to Hong
Kong, investors throughout the world reacted.
In the United States, investors who were having a good year so far in 1997
decided to lock in their profits. Many of the best performers in recent years,
such as technology companies which do a great deal of business in Asia, were hit
hard. Small capitalization stocks held up better, as did large cap companies
like retailers who do their business exclusively in the United States.
The October 27 sell-off was inevitably compared with the stock market of 1987.
But there really was no comparison. In percentage terms, this year's fireworks
amounted to a 7% drop. In comparison, the 1987 sell-off was 22% in one day.
But there are other fundamental differences too, which make the events of
October 27, 1997, much less worrisome. Ten years ago, inflation was in the
mid-single digits and rising. Today, some economists would argue that there is
no inflation at all--in fact, there may even be deflation. In 1987, interest
rates were in the double digits and rising. Today, the 30-year U.S. Treasury
bond yields about 6%. In 1987, the federal budget deficit was mushrooming.
Today, the deficit has virtually been wiped out, and there's talk of a surplus.
The American economy is much stronger today than it was a decade ago.
Perhaps most importantly, investors, rather than running scared and selling at
the bottom, increasingly look at days like October 27 as a buying opportunity.
Even with the events of late October, the stock market has turned in an
above-average performance for 1997. Historically, stocks have produced average
annual returns of 10-12%. Viewed over this decade, and since the bull market
began in 1982, investors have truly enjoyed excellent results.
We believe the turmoil that occurred on October 27 will prove to be a relatively
minor event. True, it was a very strong reaction to external events. But the
environment continues to be a good one for U.S. investors. The economy continues
to grow at a 3-4% rate without inflation. Interest rates are low and corporate
profits continue to grow, although more slowly than in recent years. And the
markets in Asia appear to have stabilized for now.
The recent volatility is a great reminder to dollar-cost average into the
markets. Mutual funds make it easy to invest a fixed amount of money
periodically. When the market is down, that fixed investment buys more shares at
bargain prices. Such an automatic process allows you to keep your long-term
perspective when days like October 27th inevitably occur.

CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
IAI CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND, IAI EMERGING GROWTH FUND,

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
A summary of economic outlook as provided by Larry Hill, IAI's Chief Fixed
Income Officer, is listed below.
Fundamentally, the U.S. economy is in good shape. The expansion continued at a
3.6% pace in the third quarter, making this the first time since 1983 that
inflation-adjusted growth has been above 3% for four consecutive quarters.
During this same time, prices rose at an annualized rate of only 1.4%--the
slowest quarterly increase since 1964.
As further evidence of strength, the unemployment rate dropped to 4.7% in
October, its lowest level in 24 years. Job gains were widespread throughout a
majority of industries. So far in 1997, over 2.1 million new jobs have been
created.
On the fiscal policy side, the federal budget deficit has declined dramatically.
Tax receipts have exceeded expectations, hinting that income growth is even
higher than current statistics indicate. Low inflation has allowed the Fed to
follow a neutral monetary policy. The last time the Fed acted was in March of
this year when the overnight rate was raised by 0.25%. A shrinking deficit and
neutral monetary policy has helped long-term interest rates to drop by 1% in the
last six months.
Given this favorable backdrop, U.S. financial markets have experienced
above-average returns. For the 10 months through October, the stock market was
up 28% and bonds had returned about 8%.
Unfortunately, this good news has recently been overshadowed by turmoil
overseas. Currency devaluation and falling stock prices in the Asian Pacific
region quickly became a global event. In typical fashion, markets have led
economics. The events in October were a dramatic reintroduction of risk premiums
into the global investment equation. While some investors clearly suffered
substantial losses, the impact so far has been more psychological than
fundamental. Falling markets are likely to lead to slower growth and rising
financial problem in the afflicted economies. Although market volatility will
continue, the economic impact will be less invasive for the major economies of
Europe and North America. Global growth and inflation may be mildly lower.
However, as markets stabilize, investors are likely to refocus on positive
fundamentals.
Please read the Fund Managers' Reviews, which follow this letter, for a detailed
perspective on Fund performance and our strategy going forward. We appreciate
your continued trust and confidence in IAI. If there is any way we can serve you
better, please let us know by calling our toll-free Investor Services Hotline at

WHAT IS THE FUND'S 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 small-capitalization companies that have superior performance
records, solid market positions, strong balance sheets and a management team
capable of sustaining growth.
HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
The IAI Capital Appreciation Fund returned 15.48% in the third quarter, trailing
the 16.92% return delivered by its benchmark Russell 2000 Growth Index. For the
six months ended September 30, 1997, the Portfolio is up 41.59%, compared to the
Russell 2500 Growth Index and the S&P 500 which had returns of 35.59% and 26.38%
respectively.
WHICH HOLDINGS WERE PARTICULARLY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE FUND? WERE THERE ANY
DISAPPOINTMENTS?
We are pleased that the Fund has delivered strong performance this year. Our
style is based on investing in well-managed companies with attractive business
models that can deliver strong earnings growth regardless of the economic
environment. This style served us very well in 1996 when investors were
concerned about an economic slowdown. On the other hand, small cap investors
have favored economically cyclical issues thus far in 1997; this bias was
especially prevalent in July and August. Thus, the Fund has been fighting a
headwind, so we are pleased with its performance. During the third quarter, nine
stocks in the Fund rose more than 30%. The best performer was Mastech (4.05%)*,
a Pittsburgh-based provider of customized software programming services. In a
strong technology sector, investors obviously recognized Mastech's compelling
prospects. The second-best performer was Emergent Group (2.83)%*, which
originates and packages home equity loans from its base in Greenville, South
Carolina. Emergent possesses an excellent business model, spectacular management
strength, a strong balance sheet, and is growing at a rapid rate.
On the other hand, three stocks in the Fund fell by 20% or more during the
quarter. In each of the three cases, further research has made us confident that
the setbacks are temporary, so we have added to the positions.
* PERCENTAGE OF NET ASSETS AS OF 9/30/97
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?
Over the long term, we are very bullish about the prospects for the Fund. We
believe that attractive long-term returns can be achieved by owning a
diversified group of high-quality small-cap companies able to sustain rapid
growth.
Over the short term, the factors which have driven the recent rally in the
small-cap market should remain in place. Corporate earnings should be strong,
inflation should remain subdued, and the tidal wave of money flowing into the
stock market shows no signs of slowing.
We also believe that the Fund has performed reasonably well in 1997 despite
facing some headwinds. Knowing that the emphasis in the market always rotates,
we do not think we will have to wait long for it to rotate back toward our
style.

WHAT IS THE FUND'S 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.
HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
The IAI Emerging Growth Fund gained 7.13% for the third quarter, compared to the
Russell 2500 Index return of 14.35%. For the six months ending September 30,
1997, the Fund returned 28.64% while the Russell 2500 and the S&P 500 indexes
had returns of 31.63% and 26.38%, respectively.
WHICH HOLDINGS WERE PARTICULARLY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE FUND?
Were there any disappointments? The biggest contributor to the portfolio's
performance was CBT Group ADR (3.55%)*, a leader in developing interactive
educational and training software for the information technology industry.
Watson Pharmaceuticals (2.26%)* and Vitesse Semiconductor (1.45%)* were also
strong contributors to performance. Positions in Sitel (0.00%)* and Teletech
Holdings (0.00%)* hurt performance during the quarter. Both companies provide
telephone-based customer service programs for businesses and they announced
slower than expected earnings growth.
WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES?
We continue to refresh the portfolio with new additions. In the health care
sector, we added Renal Care Group (1.01%)*, which provides dialysis and
nephrology services to patients with kidney disease. In the technology area we
initiated positions in Anadigics (0.94%)*, a developer and manufacturer of
integrated circuits; Computer Products (1.09%)*, a leading provider of power
conversion and supply products for the communications and computer industries;
and Viasoft (1.18%)*, a provider of software and services targeted at solving
the "Year 2000" problem.
* PERCENTAGE OF NET ASSETS AS OF 9/30/97
CAN YOU POINT TO ANY SPECIFIC MARKET FACTORS THAT INFLUENCED THE FUND'S
PERFORMANCE?
Announcements by Coca Cola and Gillette, among others, that third quarter
earnings would fall short of "street expectations" created an environment which
led to significant declines in the share prices of many large multinational
companies. Renewed focus was then placed on the stocks of smaller companies that
can demonstrate unit sales and earnings growth.
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?
We believe the revenue and earnings growth produced by our companies will
continue to far outpace those of the broader market and will ultimately drive
our stock prices higher. The declining growth rates of some of the large blue
chip stocks will continue to benefit small company stocks in both absolute and
relative terms.

WHAT IS THE FUND'S 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.
HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
For the six months ending September 30, 1997, the Fund had a 19.59% return while
the S&P 500 had a 26.38% return.The IAI Growth Fund performed well on an
absolute basis in the third quarter, rising roughly 6.07%. By comparison the S&P
500 rose almost 7.61%. Though the Fund underperformed for the quarter, we have
seen much better absolute and relative performance from the Fund since we
restructured its holdings in the third quarter.
WHICH HOLDINGS WERE PARTICULARLY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE FUND?
Sectors which had a significant positive impact on performance were
communication services, consumer cyclicals, consumer staples, and energy.
Individual stocks with the greatest positive contribution were Century Telephone
Enterprises (2.48%)*, HFS (2.15%)*, Cardinal Health (1.21%)* and Petroleum
Geo-Services ADR (1.25%)*.
Most of the underperformance was attributed to a couple of individual
positions. Both Aetna (0.00%)* and Corning (0.74%)* reported earnings
disappointment that impacted our performance. From a sector standpoint,
technology, financials and health care adversely impacted performance.
WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES?
New positions were initiated in Thermo Electron (0.30%)*, Dollar General
(0.79%)*, Cardinal Health (1.21%)*, Campbell Soup (1.02%)*, Amoco (0.79%)*,
Galileo International (1.62%)* and Lexmark International (0.73%)*. We continued
to eliminate holdings suffering from excess valuations and/or deteriorating
fundamentals. Included in this group are Reynolds & Reynolds (0.00%)*, Warnaco
Group (0.00%)*, WorldCom (0.00%)* and Union Pacific Resources Group (0.00%)*.
The result of this activity is a stronger, higher quality portfolio.
* PERCENTAGE OF NET ASSETS AS OF 9/30/97
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?
We like the quality of the portfolio as it now stands and are heartened by its
recent improved performance. Moreover, we are encouraged by the recent
broadening in the overall market beyond the narrow list of the "Nifty 50" stocks
that have driven the indices over the past 24-36 months.
The actions we have been taking to strengthen the Fund have had a positive
impact on results. We will continue to look for growth companies that can
sustain the improvement in reported results.

WHAT IS THE FUND'S 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.
HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
The IAI Midcap Growth Fund generated strong absolute returns in the third
quarter of roughly 10.93%. This compares to S&P Midcap Index returns of 16.08%.
Our relative underperformance was the result of an underweighted position in
financials and the impact of higher than normal cash levels. In the six months
ended September 30, 1997, the Fund had a return of 20.69% while the S&P Midcap
and S&P 500 indexes had a returns of 33.14% and 26.38%, respectively.
CAN YOU POINT TO ANY SPECIFIC MARKET FACTORS THAT INFLUENCED THE FUND'S
PERFORMANCE?
Our higher than normal cash position came about as we decided to exit several
underperforming positions during a comprehensive review of the Fund. Our review
was completed in July, and we subsequently invested the excess cash in new
positions over the balance of the quarter.
The impact from an underweighting in the financial sector relative to the
index also hurt performance. Here, a strong move in the bond market created a
strong advance in financial stocks. We continue to believe underweighting of
this sector is warranted. As we look across the quarter, we are encouraged by
the fact that the underperformance was largely contained to July. Performance
picked up on a relative basis in August and September.
The portfolio was positively impacted by overweighting capital goods and

is used. Such valuations are obtained from pricing services or are supplied by
dealers.
Short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less from the date of
initial acquisition are valued at amortized cost. Those 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 under procedures established by the Board of Directors. Such
securities represent $20,532,081 (5.4% of net assets) for Emerging Growth Fund
and $924,472 (0.8% of net assets) for Midcap Growth Fund. Because of the
inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ
significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for
the securities existed, and the differences could be material.
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 risks 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.
The 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.
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 had a capital loss
carryover of approximately $944,000, at March 31, 1997 which, if not offset by
subsequent capital gains, will expire in 2006. 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 in the financial statements. 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 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 $15,000,000, $15,000,000, $4,650,000 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. There were no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 1997.
At September 30, 1997, the Funds are com-mitted to invest additional amounts in
certain limited partnership investments held, as follows:

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.
