                   INVESTMENT ADVISOR'S REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
                                 APRIL 30, 1996

Dear Shareholders:

Enclosed is the 1996 semi-annual report for the Pin Oak Aggressive Stock Fund
and the White Oak Growth Stock Fund. This report lists the holdings for each
fund and gives us the opportunity to discuss recent results and any changes that
you can look forward to in the future. We hope you find it informative.

In the past, our funds have had some significant swings but it has paid to be
patient. Detailed performance results are shown below.

                                 CALENDAR                           FROM
                                 YTD         1 YR.     3 YRS.       INCEPTION
                                 --------------------------------------------

Pin Oak Aggressive Stock Fund    9.52%       38.56%    21.25%       17.52%
White Oak Growth Stock Fund      9.91%       48.09%    25.05%       20.24%

Standard & Poor's 500 Index      6.98%       30.20%    17.18%       15.27%

           (All figures for annualized periods ending April 30, 1996
                            Inception date 8/3/92.)

Looking forward, our investment outlook remains positive. While a back-up in
interest rates, like the one that has occurred so far this year, always causes
us to review our outlook, we come away from the current situation believing it
will prove to be short-lived. We just don't see a return of the high-inflation
days. We remain comfortable with the holdings in both funds and would be
inclined to add to most of our positions at current valuations. While this year
may not be as rewarding as last year was, we still feel it could prove to be
"better than average", particularly if interest rates start to come back down.

On the administration side, you may notice several changes in the months ahead.
In response to several requests, we will be changing the format of your monthly
account statements to show both your Pin Oak and White Oak mutual fund shares on
a single report. This should cut down on unnecessary mailings. Also, our
acceptance into several no-load mutual fund networks like Schwab's OneSource
program has brought about a large increase in the number of mutual fund kits
being mailed to potential shareholders. With the increased interest by the
public at large, we believe we could approach the asset levels necessary for
daily listing in the Wall Street Journal.

Finally, you can help us by calling the appropriate phone numbers for
shareholder service. If you have questions on an account you have already
established, are checking your balance, or wish to redeem shares, please call
DST Systems, the funds' transfer agent, at 800-808-4921. If you or someone else
are interested in opening an account and would like some information sent to
you, please call Fund Resources at 800-923-7781. Be sure to let them know if you
are interested in opening an IRA or a taxable account. Fund Resources will be
more than happy to assist you by mailing as many applications, performance
reports, and prospectuses detailing charges and expenses as you need.

On the other hand, if you know of a group of individuals that might be
interested in investing in our funds (for example, an employer 401(k) plan) and
you feel a presentation would be appropriate, please call our offices and ask
for either myself or Maria Hinton. Depending on the level of interest, we'd be
more than willing to arrange an appropriate meeting.

All of us at Oak Associates, Ltd. are proud of the results we have been able to
achieve over the years and by the opportunities that have been made available to
us by you, our clients and shareholders. Our firm has enjoyed sustained, rapid
growth over the last eleven years. While the mutual funds have represented a
relatively small portion of the $3 billion in assets our firm manages, they
remain very important to us and will likely become more so as we prepare
ourselves for managed growth in the years ahead.

We appreciate the confidence you have placed in our firm and look forward to the
future with thankful enthusiasm.


Kindest Regards,

/s/  DOUG MACKAY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                    THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND
April 30, 1996                                                         Unaudited

1. ORGANIZATION:
THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND (the "Trust") is organized as a Massachusetts
business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated July 18, 1991. The Trust is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified open-end management investment company with nine portfolios. The
financial statements included herein are those of the Pin Oak Aggressive Stock
Fund and the White Oak Growth Stock Fund (the "Funds"). The financial statements
of the remaining portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each
portfolio are segregated, and a Shareholder's interest is limited to the
portfolio in which shares are held. The Funds' prospectus provides a description
of each Fund's investment objectives, policies and strategies.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds.

     SECURITY VALUATION -- Investments in equity securities which are traded on
     a national exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market system) are
     stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such equity
     securities on each business day; other equity securities traded in the
     over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was
     reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt
     obligations exceeding sixty days to maturity for which market quotations
     are readily available are valued at the most recently quoted bid price.
     Debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining until maturity may be
     valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- It is each Fund's intention to qualify as a
     regulated investment company by complying with the appropriate provisions
     of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no
     provisions for Federal income taxes are required.

     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME-- Security transactions are
     accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date).
     Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income
     is recognized on the accrual basis. Costs used in determining realized
     gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are those of the
     specific securities sold during the respective holding period.

     NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE -- The net asset value per share of each Fund is
     calculated on each business day by dividing the total value of each Fund's
     assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding.

     OTHER -- Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged
     to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to the
     Funds on the basis of relative daily net assets.

     Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid to
     Shareholders on a quarterly basis. Any net realized capital gains on sales
     of securities are distributed to Shareholders at least annually.

     Effective 1994, generally accepted accounting principles require that
     differences between undistributed net investment income or accumulated net
     realized capital gains for financial reporting and tax purposes, if
     permanent, be reclassified to/from paid in capital. The Funds were not
     affected by this standard.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amount 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.

3. ORGANIZATION COSTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES: 
The Funds incurred organization costs of approximately $12,000 each. These costs
have been deferred and are being amortized on a straight line basis over a
period of sixty months commencing with operations. Organization costs include
legal

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)        THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND
April 30, 1996                                                         Unaudited

fees of approximately $1,000 per Fund for organizational work performed by a law
firm of which a trustee of the Trust is a partner and two officers of the Trust
are partners. In the event any of the initial shares of the Funds are redeemed
by any holder thereof during the period that the Fund is amortizing its
organizational costs, the redemption proceeds payable to the holder thereof by
the Fund will be reduced by the unamortized organizational costs in the same
ratio as the number of initial shares being redeemed bears to the number of
initial shares outstanding at the time of redemption.

Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of SEI Financial Management
Corporation (the "Administrator") and/or SEI Financial Services Company (the
"Distributor"). Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as
officers of the Trust.

4. ADMINISTRATION, SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS: 
The Trustand the Administrator are parties to an Administration Agreement dated
November 14, 1991, as amended and restated on May 17, 1994, under which the
Administrator provides management and administrative services for an annual fee
of .20% of the average daily net assets of each of the Funds. There is a minimum
annual fee of $50,000 per Fund.

DST Systems, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as the transfer agent and
dividend distributing agent for the Funds under a transfer agency agreement with
the Trust.

The Trust and the Distributor are parties to a Distribution Agreement dated
November 14, 1991, as amended and restated on August 8, 1994. The Distributor
receives no fees for its distribution services under this agreement.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND CUSTODIAN AGREEMENTS: 
The Trust and Oak Associates (the "Adviser") are parties to an Investment
Advisory Agreement dated July 20, 1992 under which the Adviser receives an
annual fee equal to .74% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. The
Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of its fees (and to
reimburse the Funds' expenses) in order to limit operating expenses to not more
than 1.00% of the average daily net assets of each of the Funds. Fee waivers and
expense reimbursements are voluntary and may be terminated at any time.

CoreStates Bank, N.A. acts as custodian (the "Custodian") for the Funds. Fees of
the Custodian are being paid on the basis of the net assets of the Funds. The
Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Funds or
which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Funds.

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS:
The cost of security purchases and the proceeds from security sales, other than
short-term investments, for the six months ended April 30, 1996 are as follows:
