Dear American Odyssey Fund Participants:

      I am pleased to present you with the American Odyssey Funds Semi-Annual
Report. This report marks the fourth anniversary of the establishment of the
American Odyssey Funds and we take great pride in what the Funds have achieved.
The Funds, representing six diverse asset classes, now have over $1 billion in
assets from the retirement savings of over 70,000 participants. We believe that
this success can be attributed to care taken in selecting and supervising our
subadvisers and the active role American Odyssey Funds Management, Inc. takes to
see that each fund's investment objective is being met.

      One of the more significant highlights in the first half of 1997 was the
addition of Cowen Asset Management as a second subadviser to the Emerging
Opportunities Fund. Cowen was added to supplement the efforts of Wilke Thompson
Capital Management and increase the asset capacity of the fund. Cowen's
investment style should prove highly complementary to Wilke Thompson and add to
the performance of the fund in the future. In addition to the activity in the
Emerging Opportunities Fund, the first half of 1997 has brought performance from
the Intermediate Term Bond Fund that has exceeded its benchmark for the first
half of the year. Additionally, the Core Equity and International Equity Funds
continue to build solid long-term track records with both funds ranked in the
top quartile of their respective Morningstar peer groups for one and three year
periods ending June 30, 1997.

      You will find complete performance information, including an investment
summary from each portfolio manager and financial highlights for the six months
ending June 30, 1997, in the report that follows. We hope that you find the data
helpful in understanding how your retirement savings are being managed.

      Thank you once again for your continued participation in the American
Odyssey Funds. We look forward to continuing to serve your investment needs.



                                      Very truly yours,





                                      ROBERT C. DUGHI

                   AMERICAN ODYSSEY INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND

      The American Odyssey International Equity Fund returned 8.95% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. The MSCI EAFE Index returned 11.36% for the same
period.

      During the early part of the year no individual theme made a significant
contribution--either positive or negative--to overall performance although there
were a number of good individual stock performances which helped the portfolio,
particularly in the Healthcare Needs and Positive Banking Environment themes. In
Healthcare, Roche, Zeneca, Glaxo-Wellcome and Novartis did well during the first
quarter and continued to improve during the second quarter.

      In April of 1997, Novartis purchased Merck's agribusiness division and in
May it released its first-quarter sales figures which revealed an increase of
8%, considerably ahead of expectations. This was seen as evidence that the
benefits of the merger were having a quicker-than-expected impact on the
company's performance. The market received this news very well and Novartis'
share price rose by 29% over the second quarter. Both Zeneca and Glaxo-Wellcome
continued to prosper, also based on optimism for prospective sales growth from
new drugs.

      Positive Banking Environment stocks Lloyds TSB, ABN-Amro and National
Australia Bank reported profit increases ranging from 14% to 52% during the
first quarter. This strong performance continued into the second three months of
1997, with Banco de Santander posting good first quarter results and HSBC
Holdings gaining 29% over the quarter assisted by the strong performance of the
Hong Kong market in general.

      Themes directed at the developing markets in the Far East have
disappointed throughout 1997. Increased consumer spending in the Pacific Basin
and infrastructural development have had a negative impact on the Fund. This has
taken place for a variety of reasons ranging from poor company results--as was
the case with HM Sampoerna which announced poor sales forecasts--to the knock-on
effect of financial crises which caused poor performance by Bangkok Bank.

      The hedging program in place again added value over the period. At the end
of June hedges were in place against the British Pound, the Deutchemark, the
Swiss Franc and the Dutch Guilder. Approximately 15% of the portfolio was hedged
at June 30, 1997.

      With the notable exception of the developing markets in the Pacific Basin,
equity markets worldwide have thus far done well during 1997. The ongoing U.S.
bull market continues to boost international markets, and with American
inflation apparently under control and no sign of imminent interest-rate
increases, European stock markets have been hitting all-time-highs over the last
six months.

      In the U.K. strong corporate earnings, particularly from the
financial-services sector, and the expectation of even more corporate
restructuring by major companies have been underpinning valuations. The initial
actions of the country's new Labour government have been a source of
encouragement to the market, although the administration's first budget will be
analyzed very closely.

      The weakness of the Deutschemark stimulated a recovery in Germany's
export-oriented manufacturing sector in the early part of the year, and during
the second quarter, foreign orders have increased at a steady pace. The domestic
economy remains in the doldrums, however, and unemployment remains at, or close
to, record levels.

      Far Eastern markets performed poorly during the first three months due to
fears about the upward direction of U.S. interest rates and continued net
outflows by foreign investors. During the second quarter in Malaysia, concern
about strong consumer spending, a rising level of imports, high labor costs and
a possible oversupply of property all contributed to drive the market downwards.
The ongoing financial crisis in Thailand resulted in 25% decline in the market
over the most recent three months.

      The Japanese market, on the other hand, gained 22% during the second
quarter. Despite continued speculation that interest rates are set to rise,
coupled with a mixed picture on the domestic economy's future growth prospects,
foreigners continue to increase their investments in Japan.

      Our outlook for the remainder of the year remains the same. The
low-growth, low-inflationary environment which obtains globally will continue to
provide a favorable backdrop for equity investments. Nevertheless, the upward
movement of most markets has driven up valuations relative to earnings growth
and this fact remains uppermost in our minds.

      The July budget in the U.K. will be a key determining factor on how that
market fares for the remainder of the year. To date analysts have been
pleasantly surprised by the policies of the Labour government but all that could
quickly change. The ongoing uncertainty regarding European Monetary Union will
affect the performance of European markets over the coming months as bond yields
are likely to move based on the prevailing consensus as to which countries are
likely to be founding members of the new single currency.

      We will continue to have a very selective approach to investments in the
Far East although we feel that the bear market in the region, which commenced in
1993, is closer to the end than the beginning. We remain convinced that the
Japanese market is overvalued, though we continue to monitor companies there in
search of worthwhile investment opportunities. We do not believe any significant
change has taken place in the underlying fundamentals of the portfolio and
accordingly our strategy remains unaltered.

                  AMERICAN ODYSSEY EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES FUND

      The American Odyssey Emerging Opportunities Fund returned 0.82% for the 
six months ended June 30, 1997. The Russell 2500 Index returned 11.25% for the
same period.

      The following commentary has been provided by Wilke/Thompson Capital
Management, Inc., co-investment subadviser to the American Odyssey Emerging
Opportunities Fund. Wilke/Thompson managed 62.9% of the Fund's portfolio as of
June 30, 1997.

      The year began exactly how 1996 left off -- a few larger cap names
captured investors' capital and the smaller cap companies were virtually
ignored. Investors were attracted to these names as they possessed liquidity and
perceived safety. Macro-economic factors including a strong global economy, low
levels of inflation and declining interest rates also fueled the run-up in the
larger cap names while causing the smaller cap issues to lag. It was very
encouraging to see a "broadening-out" of the market in the month of May where
more than just a select group of stocks performed well. In the latter part of
1996 and the beginning of 1997, the market's upward move was driven by only a
handful of large cap names. Other, non-large cap issues were ignored by
investors who were searching primarily for liquidity regardless of the stock's
price or valuation. Valuation parameters are once again becoming the focus of
investors and some of the neglected, smaller stocks are getting noticed. The
psyche of the market still remains volatile as minor economic concerns often
sway the market significantly. The portfolio remains fundamentally sound with
companies that are growing their sales and earnings at above average rates.

      Looking ahead to the rest of 1997, several macro-economic variables
suggest that the overall market will remain strong and that smaller company
stocks, in particular, will fare better relative to the first half of the year.
The economy continues to grow at a healthy pace with little evidence of
inflationary pressure. Future interest rate hikes are not necessarily imminent
and appear to be modest at best. An encouraging sign from the portfolio's
perspective is that investors are beginning to invest in some of the high
quality, fast growing companies in which we invest that have not had the
significant price appreciation that some of the larger companies have enjoyed.
Although we will probably see a continuation of the "flight to liquidity", the
market is showing signs of broader participation as opposed to the past 12
months where only a handful of large companies received investors' capital.

      The following commentary has been provided by Cowen Asset Management,
co-investment subadviser to the American Odyssey Emerging Opportunities Fund
since May 1, 1997. Cowen managed 37.1% of the Fund's portfolio as of June 30,
1997.

      The portfolio continues to be weighted about 30% in energy stocks
comprising about 15% in small domestic exploration and production companies, and
15% in service and drillers. Health care represents approximately 17% of the
portfolio. ICN Pharmaceuticals and KOS Pharmaceuticals have both performed well.
Generic pharmaceuticals, including Mylan Labs and Alpharma, as well as companies
focusing on women's healthcare needs, such as Neopath, offer good potential.

      There have been 350 new public technology companies in the last three
years compared to 200 in the decade of the 1980's. This plethora of freshly
minted tech companies met with slowing orders as technology purchasing managers
were more focused on coding problems raised by the year 2000. Also, there has
been a slowdown in telecommunication orders resulting from legislative and
industry consolidation issues. However, our analytical process is beginning to
find attractive opportunities in technology and telecommunications. Finally,
special situation stock specific ideas like Williams Sonoma, Lojack, and Wet
Seal performed well in the period and the portfolio abounds with many similar
stock specific companies for which we have great enthusiasm.

      During the last few quarters the S&P 500 Index has been the best
performing index as profit growth of the major companies has been better than
that of smaller companies. Large corporate downsizing, outsourcing, and
write-offs from previously bloated conditions, as well as stock buybacks, helped
these companies produce profits at an even better rate than would be expected
from analyzing revenue growth only. However, the market is now placing a premium
on these earnings growth rates which include "transitional earnings kickers,"
such that the price/earnings multiple on the S&P 500 Index is now over 20X, a
rate that is at an historically high level. At the same time, small cap stocks
have lagged behind creating a huge disparity in performance, valuation, and in
our opinion - opportunity.

      Analysis shows that many large cap managers are sector or industry
rotators. However, profit growth of the large, sector independent companies,
drove these stocks so fast that industry rotators could not keep up. In fact,
over 90% of large cap managers underperformed the S&P 500 this quarter. As a
result, many of these funds have become "closet" indexers in order to stay close
to their index performance. This increasing swell of money to these stocks
compounded the public's flow toward indexing, lifting valuations to lofty levels
compared to growth rates, book value, and yields. Counterintuitively, short
sellers have also added to momentum by needing to cover (buyback) their
positions at even higher levels after momentum investors have taken stocks up.
At the same time momentum investors and sector rotators have avoided small caps
because of liquidity, leading to extraordinary value in the small cap sector.

      We believe this momentum-driven, large cap cycle is reaching its peak.
Analysis shows that many of the top weighted stocks in the S&P 500 will show
slowing rates of earnings growth in coming quarters as the effects of downsizing
and outsourcing are behind them. This slowing of profit growth combined with
high valuation should point investors toward the sector of the market that we
believe to be most undervalued: "mainstream small cap".

      Valuations in the small cap sector are at 1990 levels, and the majority of
stocks in our portfolio are even more attractively priced. This coupled with a
prospective capital gains tax cut, that in the past has been positive for small
caps, makes us optimistic that small caps will soon begin to outperform.

                        AMERICAN ODYSSEY CORE EQUITY FUND

      The American Odyssey Core Equity Fund returned 16.66% for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. The S&P 500 Index returned 20.61% for the same period.

      A less-than-market exposure in the more traditional growth sectors of
consumer and technology detracted from the Fund's performance relative to the
S&P 500. This shortfall was partly offset by higher relative weightings,
combined with good stock selections, in the financial sector. Individual stocks
that had a particularly large positive impact on overall portfolio results
year-to-date included Bristol Myers Squibb, Schering Plough, General Electric,
BankAmerica and HF Ahmanson.

      After a mixed performance by the financial markets during the first
quarter of 1997 stocks came roaring back with very strong returns in the second
quarter. There are a number of factors that contributed to this result. When the
Federal Reserve raised interest rates late in the first quarter, investors
initially anticipated that the increase was the first of several to come.
However, as the second quarter progressed, more evidence indicated that the
economy was, in fact, slowing to a moderate pace of growth. Simultaneously,
inflation levels remained in check and interest rates traded within a modest
band. This good news afforded investors greater confidence in the stability of
the current environment leading to the surge in returns.

      The favorable news on the economic front also has led many to believe that
the Fed's first quarter move had the desired impact, thus lowering the necessity
of another rate increase. With the growing expectation of stable interest rates
investors have been increasingly willing to add additional funds to domestic
equities. This, no doubt, has further buoyed stock prices; however, the gains
have been quite narrow and confined largely to a small group of very large
stocks primarily in the growth sectors.

      Over the past six months stocks in the technology, medical, and financial
sectors were the most robust. Technology companies continued to exhibit rising
earnings as order flows from both businesses and consumers remained strong.
Medical stocks showed steady earnings improvement, but also benefited from
investors' desire for stocks with more predictable profit and growth patterns.
The financial sector was a significant beneficiary of the economic environment,
particularly stable interest rates, but also was bolstered by the favorable
trends in deregulation and industry consolidation.

      Our investment strategy continues to emphasize an overweighting in
financial stocks. We believe this sector is benefiting from a secular uptrend
that is heavily influenced by the aging population. The remainder of the
portfolio is broadly diversified across other sectors and stresses high cash
flow, plus low price-to-earnings and price-to-book. Our strategy remains to seek
out individual stocks where the market has underestimated the upside potential,
and to sell holdings that have reached our expectation of full valuation or have
violated the original investment thesis.

                      AMERICAN ODYSSEY LONG-TERM BOND FUND

      The American Odyssey Long-Term Bond Fund returned 3.05% for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. The Salomon Core +5 Index returned 3.17% for the same
period.

      The portfolio's long duration posture throughout the period proved to be a
drag on performance, since interest rates ended the period somewhat higher.
Yield curve exposure helped to offset the negative impact of higher rates; the
portfolio's barbell exposure to maturities benefited from a flattening of the
yield curve in the first half of the period, and this was followed by a bulleted
exposure to maturities in the second half which benefited from a modest
steepening of the yield curve.

      For the past three years, a growth paradigm has best described the bond
market's roller coaster ride, with interest rates rising as the economy gains
strength, and falling on signs of weakness. Underlying the ups and downs is a
feedback effect: a stronger economy causes interest rates to rise, then higher
rates dampen demand and cause the economy to soften; a softer economy leads
rates back down, and lower rates then stimulate demand and cause the economy to
strengthen, etc. Apparently, since the ups and downs have become more muted of
late, the market has come to understand this.

      Currently, we are seeing the most benign inflation the economy has had
since the mid-1950s and mid-1960s, when bond yields were 4% and mortgages were
5%. Not only is measured inflation falling, but lots of prices are actually
falling. Moreover, since the dollar is up 10% against most major currencies over
the past year, the price of everything outside our borders has dropped 10%.
Finally, key money supply measures have registered a substantial slowdown from
the first quarter, rounding out a picture of generally tight monetary
conditions.

      Against this super-disinflationary (and almost deflationary) backdrop, the
Fed tightened monetary policy earlier this year, and the bond market has
effectively tightened things even more. With inflation collapsing and interest
rates unchanged to higher on the year, real interest rates have risen
significantly. High real interest rates should help keep the economy from
"overheating," and create a bias toward lower, rather than higher, inflation.

      This view of the world leads to the conclusion that interest rates are
still attractive relative to inflation, but it does not suggest an obvious
direction for the shape of the yield curve. Stronger-than-expected growth would
almost certainly result in a flatter curve, but high real rates mitigate against
that. Weaker-than-expected growth would lead to a much steeper yield curve, but
the salutary effects of lower interest rates mitigate against that. Consequently
we are in the process of shifting to a more neutral posture, with a bias toward
returning to a bulleted exposure given the steepness in the long end of the
yield curve.

                  AMERICAN ODYSSEY INTERMEDIATE-TERM BOND FUND

      The American Odyssey Intermediate-Term Bond Fund returned 3.04% for the
six months ended June 30, 1997. The Lehman Government/Corporate Intermediate
Bond Index returned 2.83% for the same period.

      Strong early year economic growth caused rates to rise to near the peak
levels seen last summer. Economic growth has been led by strong job creation and
strong retail sales. In response, the Federal Reserve Board raised the Federal
Funds target rate 25 basis points to 5.50%, the first increase since January
1995. Inflation has remained well contained with oil prices falling, the dollar
very strong, and most commodity prices showing little change. Average hourly
earning increases have notched up to a 4% annual growth rate but the better
measure of wage inflation, the employment cost index, has not risen much despite
continued low levels of unemployment.

      Clearly the Fed felt they could wait no longer at their March 25th
meeting. While there is still debate about how low unemployment can go before
upward wage pressures begin, the Federal Reserve felt it was prudent, given the
strength in the consumer sector, to act preemptively against inflation.

      The second quarter began with weak financial markets. They bottomed in
April and roared in May and June as investor fears of further Federal Reserve
tightening subsided with a much lower than expected employment cost index
increase, three consecutive months of negative retail sales growth, and five
consecutive months of negative producer price inflation reports. Investors seem
to have a growing conviction that we are in a new era where inflation can stay
low despite low levels of unemployment last seen in 1973. In addition to less
inflation, the drop in the size of the Federal government's budget deficit has
been a major surprise. This has led to a sharp drop in Treasury bill rates. The
surprise was generated by higher than expected tax receipts due to stock market
capital gains, option exercises, and strong corporate profits.

      Second quarter GDP growth has slowed to 2-3% from a 5.9% pace in the first
quarter. Factors such as warm weather and the timing of refunds vs. tax payments
were responsible for the fast pace of first quarter growth, stealing from growth
in the second quarter. Going forward, the bullish case for bonds is because of
technological improvements and global competition, low levels of unemployment
won't lead to product inflation. The bearish case is that economic growth above
3% is likely to lead to expectations of further Federal Reserve tightening. The
second opinion expresses our bias.

                      AMERICAN ODYSSEY SHORT-TERM BOND FUND

      The American Odyssey Short-Term Bond Fund returned 2.34% for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997. The Lehman Government/Corporate 1-5 Year Bond Index
returned 2.86% for the same period.

      During the first half of 1997, interest rates rose a slight 20 basis
points across the yield curve. Since interest rate movements caused little price
change in bond investments, most bond fund returns approximated the yield to
maturity of the underlying investments held.

      Despite the modest range in interest rates this year, there was a fair
amount of volatility in interest rate movement. In the first quarter of 1997
interest rates rose by 50 basis points in response to increasing signs of above
trend economic growth and a tightening of monetary policy on the part of the
Federal Reserve. Real GDP registered a 5.9% annualized rate of growth during the
first quarter, far exceeding market forecasts. In sharp contrast to the first
quarter, the second quarter witnessed a deceleration in economic growth to the
point where most market participants sharply revised their Real GDP estimates
downward to 2%. In response to reduced growth estimates and continued benign
inflation news, interest rates retraced a large portion of the first quarter's
increase and consequently fell by roughly 35 basis points across the yield
curve.

      Underlying the seemingly stop and go pattern of economic growth this year,
the economy remains fundamentally sound. Consumer fundamentals remain very
healthy, consumer confidence is now at a record high, the outlook for foreign
economies has brightened and the equity market is discounting solid economic
fundamentals over the intermediate term. Since the Federal Reserve increased the
Fed Funds rate in March of this year, they have shown a remarkable degree of
patience based largely on their belief that productivity growth is effectively
allowing the economy to grow at a faster pace than normal without causing
inflation to increase.

      Going forward, we anticipate a resumption in the above trend of economic
growth to lead to further pressures on the Federal Reserve to raise the Fed
Funds rate again. However, interest rate increases will likely be limited by the
continued strong inflow of foreign capital to the U.S. bond market and an
absence of inflation psychology among investors. Thus, we continue to recommend
a portfolio strategy that calls for an overweighted position in non-treasury
investments such as mortgage-backed securities, high quality corporate bonds,
FNMA bonds and asset-backed securities.

     arrangements.
(3)  Total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at net asset
     value at the beginning of the period, all dividends and distributions are
     reinvested and redemption on the last day of the period. Total Returns do
     not reflect charges attributable to separate account expenses deducted by

(5)  The After repayments and directed brokerage  arrangements figure may be 
     greater than the Before repayments and directed brokerage  arrangements 
     figure because of repayments by the Fund to the Manager once the Fund is
     operating below the expense limitation.
(6)  Average  commission  rate paid is computed by dividing the total dollar 
     amount of commissions paid during the period by the total number of shares
     purchased and sold during the period for which commissions were charged.

     of these charges would reduce the total return shown.
(4)  Annualized.
(5)  The Long-Term Bond Fund did not qualify in 1993 as a regulated investment
     company for federal income tax purposes because it had substantial
     short-term capital gains during this period and was not able to meet the
     requirement that no more than 30% of the Fund's investment income may be
     from realized capital gains on the sale of securities held for less than
     three months. While the Fund incurred a federal income tax of approximately
     $155,000, the investment adviser to the Long-Term Bond Fund reimbursed the
     Fund for the taxes and related legal expenses, so no shareholder of the
     Fund was affected. The ratio of expenses to average net assets would have
     been 2.58% had the adviser not agreed to reimburse the Fund for these
     expenses. The Fund qualified in 1994, 1995 and 1996 as a regulated
     investment company and intends to do so in future years as well.
(6)  The After repayments and directed brokerage  arrangements figure may be 
     greater than the Before repayments and directed brokerage arrangements
     figure because of repayments by the Fund to the Manager once the Fund is
     operating below the expense limitation.

  Notes to Financial Statements
  American Odyssey Funds, Inc./June 30, 1997 (unaudited)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1.  Organization
      American Odyssey Funds, Inc., (the "Company"), was organized as a Maryland
corporation in December 1992. It is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 as an open-end diversified management investment company. It consists
of six separate funds (the "Fund(s)"): International Equity Fund, Emerging
Opportunities Fund, Core Equity Fund, Long-Term Bond Fund, Intermediate-Term
Bond Fund, and Short-Term Bond Fund. Shares of the Funds are offered only to
life insurance company separate accounts to serve as the underlying investment
vehicle for variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts; qualified
retirement plans, as permitted by Treasury regulations and insurance companies
and their affiliates.


NOTE 2.  Significant Accounting Policies
      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 at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

a)  Securities Valuation
      Securities traded on a national exchange and those traded on
over-the-counter markets are valued at the last sales price; if there was no
sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean between the most
recently quoted bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are
not readily available are valued in good faith at fair value using methods
determined by the Board of Directors. Securities which mature in 60 days or less
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless this
method does not represent fair market value, at which time the security will be
valued at its fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
      Futures contracts and options are valued based upon their quoted daily
settlement prices.

b)  Off Balance Sheet Risk
      The Funds may utilize futures contracts, options, and forward foreign
currency contracts for hedging purposes. The primary risks associated with the
use of these financial instruments for hedging purposes are (a) an imperfect
correlation between the change in market value of the other securities held by
the Funds and the change in market value of these financial instruments, and (b)
the possibility of an illiquid market. As a result, the use of these financial
instruments may involve, to a varying degree, elements of market risk in excess
of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

c)  Futures Contracts
      Initial margin deposits made upon entering into futures contracts are
recognized as assets due from the broker. During the period the futures contract
is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains
or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the value of the
contract at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are made or
received and recognized as assets due from or 

36
<PAGE>
 
liabilities to the broker depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are
incurred. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss
equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing
transaction and its basis in the contract.

d)  Options
      The premium paid by the Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is
included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and
subsequently "marked to market" to reflect the current market value of the
option purchased. The current market value of a purchased option is the last
reported sale price on the principal exchange on which such option is traded. If
an option which the Fund has purchased expires on its stipulated expiration
date, the Fund realizes a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. If the
Fund enters into a closing transaction, it realizes a gain or loss, depending on
whether the proceeds from the sale are greater or less than the cost of the
option. If the Fund exercises a put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the
sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale will be
decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Fund exercises a call option,
the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon exercise will be
increased by the premium originally paid.
      The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an
equivalent liability. The liability is marked-to-market based on the option's
quoted daily settlement price. When an option expires or the Fund enters into a
closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of
the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option
was sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying
security and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a written
call option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the
underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium
originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the amount of the
premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which the Fund
purchased.

e)  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
      The International Equity Fund may enter into forward foreign currency
contracts to hedge future movements in certain foreign currency exchange rates.
A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign
currency at a future date at a set price. The forward currency contracts are
valued at the forward rate and are marked-to-market daily. The change in market
value is recorded by the Fund as a unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is
closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between
the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it
was closed. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet
the terms of their contracts and from movements in currency values and interest
rates.

f)  Repurchase Agreements
      The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements (on an individual Fund
basis or in conjunction with the other Funds) with the seller wherein the seller
and the buyer agree at the time of sale to a repurchase of the security at a
mutually agreed upon time and price. The Funds will not enter into repurchase
agreements unless the agreement is fully collateralized. Securities purchased
subject to the repurchase agreement are deposited with a custodian and, pursuant
to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must have an 

                                                                              37
<PAGE>
 
aggregate market value at least equal to the repurchase price plus accrued
interest. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the
repurchase price plus accrued interest, the seller is required to deposit
additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional
collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the
Funds maintain the right to sell the underlying securities at market value and
may claim any resulting loss against the seller. Repurchase agreements could
involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the other party,
including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund's ability to dispose of
the underlying securities.

g)  Currency Translation
      Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange at the end of the period. Purchases
and sales of securities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing when
such securities were acquired or sold. Income is translated at rates of exchange
prevailing when accrued.
      The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the
fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such
fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from
investments.
      Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales
and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency
gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities
transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and
foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar
equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign
exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and
liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting
from changes in the exchange rate.

h)  Organization Expenses
      Organization expenses totaling $147,450 have been deferred and are being
amortized on a straight-line basis through May 1998. If any of the initial
shares of the Company are redeemed by any shareholder during the period of
amortization of organization expenses, the redemption proceeds will be reduced
by the pro rata amount of unamortized organization expenses based on the number
of initial shares being redeemed to the number of initial shares outstanding at
the time of redemption.

i)  Taxes
      It is the Company's policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to a regulated investment company. Under such
provisions, the Company will not be subject to federal income tax as the Company
intends to distribute as dividends substantially all of the net investment
income, if any, of each Fund. The Company also intends to distribute annually
all of its net realized capital gains. Such dividends and distributions are
automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.


j)  Distributions
      Dividends from net investment income and capital gains distributions are
determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations which may
differ from generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, dividends and
distributions differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains
due to timing differences, primarily the

38
<PAGE>
 
deferral of losses due to wash sales and the deferral of net realized capital
losses recognized subsequent to October 31, 1996. Distributions which were the
result of permanent differences between book and tax rules, primarily due to the
differing treatment of foreign currency transactions and the inability to carry
net operating losses forward to future years, have been reclassified between
additional paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income and accumulated
net realized gain on investments.

k)  Securities Transactions
      Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are
purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses are determined on the identified
cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income
is accrued daily as earned.


NOTE 3.  Management, Transfer Agency and Subadvisory Agreements and 
Transactions with Affiliates
      The Company has entered into a management agreement with American Odyssey
Funds Management, Inc. (AOFM), pursuant to which AOFM manages the investment
operations of the Company and administers the Company's affairs. AOFM has
entered into subadvisory agreements for investment advisory services in
connection with the management of each of the Funds. AOFM supervises the
subadvisers' performance of advisory services and will make recommendations to
the Company's Board of Directors with respect to the retention or renewal of the
subadvisory agreements. AOFM pays for the costs pursuant to the subadvisory
agreements, the cost of compensating officers of the Company, occupancy, and
certain clerical and accounting costs of the Company. The Company bears all
other costs and expenses.
      Under the terms of the management agreement, the Funds pay AOFM a
management fee based on average daily net assets as follows: International
Equity Fund, .70% for the first $50 million in assets, .65% for the next $50
million in assets, and .55% for the assets over $100 million; Emerging
Opportunities Fund, .75% for the first $50 million in assets allocated to Cowen
Asset Management ("Cowen"), .70% for the next $50 million in assets allocated to
Cowen, and .65% for assets over $100 million allocated to Cowen, .65% for the
first $100 million in assets allocated to Wilke/Thompson Capital Management,
Inc. ("Wilke/Thompson") and .55% for the assets over $100 million allocated to
Wilke/Thompson; Core Equity Fund, .60% for the first $100 million in assets and
 .55% for the assets over $100 million; Long-Term Bond Fund, .50% for the first
$250 million in assets, and .40% for assets over $250 million; Intermediate-Term
Bond Fund, .50% for the first $100 million in assets, .45% for the next $100
million in assets, and .40% for assets over $200 million; Short-Term Bond Fund,
 .50% for the first $100 million in assets and .40% for assets over $100 million.
AOFM's management fees for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $2,904,189.
      AOFM previously agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses for the
Short-Term Bond Fund to the extent the Fund's total expense ratio (excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage, other expenses which are capitalized in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and extraordinary expenses, but
including the Manager's investment advisory fees), exceeded 0.75%. The
Short-Term Bond Fund is currently repaying the Manager for any fees the Manager
previously waived or expenses the Manager previously reimbursed pursuant to the
