PRESIDENT'S LETTER
Keyport Variable Investment Trust
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Fellow Contract Owner:

  We are pleased to present this semi-annual report for the Keyport Variable
Investment Trust--Growth and Income Fund, Utilities Fund, International Fund
for Growth, Strategic Income Fund, U.S. Fund for Growth and Newport Tiger
Fund.

  This report provides us with the opportunity to reflect on the investment
environment of the past six months. At the end of December, we reported on
mixed investor sentiment --some investors were calling for a major market
correction, while others heralded 1996 as the beginning of the new economic
era. Neither extreme has come to pass, but conditions remain volatile, to say
the least.

Where We've Been

  It was a good period for the stock market, as many companies' earnings
continued to meet or exceed expectations, despite the threat higher interest
rates posed to corporate profitability. Although the stock market as a whole
performed well, growth-oriented small-cap stocks, in particular, gained
momentum this period, reversing the pattern of 1995 and early 1996, when
large-cap stocks raced ahead of the broader market. Large-cap stocks,
however, suffered much less than smaller stocks in the late June selloff, as
many investors scrambled to find stocks that might provide some protection if
the overall market continues to slide.

  It was a much tougher time for fixed income investors. In fact, according
to Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., taxable bond funds had an average gain
of only 0.28 percent for the six months ended June 30, as an astonishing
payroll report set off inflation alarms and propelled long-term rates higher.
The bond market ended an otherwise dismal first half on a positive note,
however. The yield on the benchmark 30-year Treasury bond, which had reached
a mid-June peak of 7.2 percent, eased by month's end, indicating the bond
market finally may have brushed off the effects of stronger-than-expected
economic reports--at least for the time being.

  The Asian stock markets also posted positive returns during the period.
Capital flows into Asia surged as foreign investors were drawn by renewed
economic growth, lower interest rates and undervalued stocks in these
nations, particularly Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Construction
and development continued to thrive in Asia. Improving fundamentals in the
real estate markets added to performance potential.

Where Are We Going?

  The markets remain volatile, as a mixed bag of economic data has left many
investors confused about which direction the economy and interest rates are
headed. And many believe the stock market's recent ups and downs could be a sign
that the bull market is finally winding down, as volatility tends to increase
late in a market cycle.

  Although we expect some continued volatility in the near term, we think the
markets could stabilize by year end. That's because, despite some conflicting
reports, several key economic indicators are sending encouraging signals to
investors. For example, inflation worries--sparked in large part by rising
grain, copper and oil prices have started to ebb. In addition, new and
existing home sales have slowed, exports are weak and both business

                                      1

and consumer spending have leveled off--all events that tend to foreshadow a
possible slowdown in economic activity. This combination of moderate economic
growth and mild inflation could prove beneficial to both the stock and bond
markets. Moreover, few investors seem willing to dwell on dire scenarios.
Inflows into equity funds, for example, continue at near-record pace; in
fact, more money poured into stock funds in the first six months of 1996 than
in all of 1995, when investors put a record $128 billion into equity funds.
And while we are starting to see net outflows from certain sectors, we
believe it's a fairly safe bet that investors will continue to put money into
stock and bond funds, as they focus on achieving their long-term financial
goals.

The Basics

  While no one can predict what might happen to the markets in the future, we
believe it's important that investors understand the factors that move the
markets--not just to profit from them, but to gain the patience to ride out
short-term volatility in their investments. No matter what direction you
think the economy is heading, it's important to remember the basics: Think
long term and periodically re-evaluate your portfolio to make sure it
continues to match your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.

  As always, we thank you for investing in the Keyport Variable Investment
Trust, as we look forward to serving your investment needs.

Sincerely,

/s/ Richard R. Christensen

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
Keyport Variable Investment Trust Colonial-Keyport Growth and Income Fund
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Contract Owner:

   Colonial-Keyport Growth & Income Fund seeks primarily income and capital
growth and, secondarily, capital preservation.

Fund Performance (as of June 30, 1996)

Inception Date ...............................7/01/93
Assuming reinvestment of all
  distributions 6-month total return .......     8.59%
Net asset per share on 12/31/95 ............   $12.60
Net asset per share on 6/30/96 .............   $13.67

Portfolio Manager's Discussion

   Daniel Rie is lead portfolio manager of Colonial-Keyport Growth and Income
Fund. Dan is senior vice president of Colonial Management Associates, Inc.
and director of the Equity Investment Department.

What was the investment environment for stocks during the period?

  The equity market in general was quite favorable during the past six months.
During the first half of 1996, a slow down in large stock profitability took
place, making growth-oriented small and mid-capitalization stocks the better
performing sectors during much of the period. During this particular cycle, the
stocks in which the Fund invests--value-oriented stocks of mid-cap
companies--were out of favor. Declining interest rates in Europe had a positive
effect on economic growth and prices of foreign equity holdings.

What market sectors contributed to the Fund's performance?

   Financial services stocks, the Fund's largest sector holding, and consumer
cyclical stocks performed well during the period. Both sectors benefited from
expectations of a strengthening economy.

How did the Fund perform relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index?

  The Fund underperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, a broad-based,
unmanaged index that tracks the performance of U.S. stocks. The Fund had a total
return of 8.59% while the Index had a total return of 10.08%. The Index,
comprised solely of U.S. stocks and heavily weighted in large-cap companies,
responded better than the Fund's holdings to market conditions. The Fund held a
portion of its assets in U.S. Government bonds and international stocks. While
these investments may cushion the Fund's value when U.S. stock markets are down,
they may also limit performance in a strong market, such as the one we have
experienced over the period.

What is your investment outlook for the rest of 1996?

  We believe that the economy will continue to grow, but at a slower pace than
experienced during the first half of 1996. We believe this will provide a
relatively favorable environment for stocks. When value stocks return to favor,
the Fund will be well-positioned to take advantage of improved market
conditions.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
Keyport Variable Investment Trust Colonial-Keyport Utilities Fund
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Contract Owner:

   Colonial-Keyport Utilities Fund has two straightforward goals: first,
current income, and second, long-term growth. The Fund pursues its objective
by investing primarily in common and preferred stock issued by domestic
utility companies.

Fund Performance (as of June 30, 1996)

Inception Date ...................................   7/01/93
Assuming reinvestment of all
  distributions 6-month total return  ............      1.71%
Net asset per share on 12/31/95 ..................    $10.50
Net asset per share on 6/30/96 ...................    $10.68

Portfolio Manager's Discussion

   John Lennon is lead portfolio manager of Colonial-Keyport Utilities Fund
and is vice president of Colonial Management Associates, Inc.

How have utility stocks performed during the past six months?

   The dramatic returns seen by the utility market in 1995 did not continue
through the first part of 1996. All three sectors of the utilities market in
which the Fund invests--telephone, electric power and natural gas--are very
sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result of rising interest rates,
these stocks gave back much of their gains to end the period with modest
total returns.

What factors contributed to performance during this period?

   Rising interest rates were the biggest factor. However, the Fund benefited
from increased investments in the natural gas sector. The severe winter
weather in many parts of the country resulted in an increased demand for gas.
The Fund continued to increase its holdings in the telephone and natural gas
sectors and to reduce its holdings in the electric utility sector. We believe
that telephone and gas stocks offer greater earnings growth and total return
potential than electric utility stocks, particularly in light of the
increasingly competitive environment expected for electric utility companies.

How did the Fund's performance compare to the Dow Jones Utility Average and
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index?

   For the period ended June 30, 1996, the Fund outperformed the Dow Jones
Utility Average and underperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, two
broad-based, unmanaged indices that track the performance of utility stocks
and U.S. stocks, respectively. The total return for the Fund was 1.71%, while
the return on the Dow Jones Utility Average was 0.45% and the return on the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index was 10.08%.

   The Fund was able to outperform the Dow Jones Utility Average because of
investments in a broader range of utility stocks. The Fund was invested in
electric, natural gas and telephone stocks, while the Average tracks only the
electric and gas sectors. The Fund underperformed the Standard & Poor's 500
Index because the Index tracks the broader market and includes many
industrial companies that benefited from expectations of an improving economy.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
Keyport Variable Investment Trust Colonial-Keyport International Fund For Growth
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Contract Owner:

   Colonial-Keyport International Fund for Growth seeks long-term growth by
investing primarily in non-U.S. equities.

Fund Performance (as of June 30, 1996)

Inception Date ................................  5/02/94
Assuming reinvestment of all
  distributions 6-month total return  .........     6.60%
Net asset per share on 12/31/95 ...............    $1.97
Net asset per share on 6/30/96 ................    $2.11

Portfolio Manager's Discussion

   Bruno Bertocci and David Harris were named portfolio co-managers of
Colonial-Keyport International Fund for Growth as of January 1, 1996. They
are vice presidents of Colonial Management Associates, Inc. and are jointly
employed by Stein Roe Global Capital Management.

What is the Fund's investment philosophy for managing international stocks?

  We are value-oriented investors and we believe that world markets are
comprised of companies that compete either globally or locally. Companies that
compete globally are evaluated relative to their country competitors, while
companies that compete locally are evaluated based on a more traditional country
analysis. Within both groups we seek stocks that are attractively priced and
that offer potential for growth.

Does your investment strategy differ from that of the previous manager?

  Our strategy represents a complete departure from the way the Fund was
previously managed. The past six months have been spent restructuring the
portfolio to be more in line with our style and global economic outlook, and
included replacing about 95% of the Fund's holdings. Specifically, we increased
the weighting in the technology, capital equipment and materials sectors.
Geographically, we reduced the Fund's position in the United Kingdom and added
to holdings in Scandinavia, Southeast Asia and Latin America.

How will these changes benefit the Fund in the future?

  While we made some dramatic changes during the past six months, we now believe
that the portfolio is well-positioned to take advantage of growing
opportunities in foreign markets.

How did the Fund perform during the six month period?

  The Fund outperformed the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Asia
and Far East (GDP) Index, which tracks the performance of international stocks.
The total return for the Fund was 6.60% while the Index posted a total return of
4.52%. This outperformance was achieved despite the costs of restructuring the
fund's portfolio.

What is your outlook for the remainder of 1996?

  We believe that Europe will grow more quickly and Japan may grow more slowly
than most investors believe. We see good opportunities in the rapidly developing
economies of Southeast Asia and selected opportunities in Latin America. The
restructuring of the portfolio has positioned the Fund in the most attractive
stocks and sectors in accordance with our investment philosophy and approach.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
Keyport Variable Investment Trust Colonial-Keyport Strategic Income Fund
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Contract Owner:

   Colonial-Keyport Strategic Income Fund seeks as high a level of current
income and total return as is consistent with prudent risk, by diversifying
investments in U.S. and foreign government and lower rated corporate debt
securities.

Fund Performance (as of June 30, 1996)

Inception Date .................................. 7/05/94
Assuming reinvestment of all
  distributions 6-month total return  ...........    1.36%
Net asset per share on 12/31/95 .................  $10.99
Net asset per share on 6/30/96 ..................  $11.14

Portfolio Manager's Discussion

  Carl Ericson is portfolio manager of the Colonial-Keyport Strategic Income
Fund. Mr. Ericson is senior vice president of Colonial Management Associates,
Inc. and director of the Taxable Fixed Income Department.

What was the Fund's investment strategy during the first half of 1996?

  The Fund continued to be well diversified among its three major market
components: high yield corporate bonds, international bonds and U.S. Treasury
bonds. This diversification paid off for shareholders, as stronger than expected
economic reports sent interest rates up close to 100 basis points over the
period. Investments in the high yield and international sectors posted higher
total returns with lower volatility than investments in the U.S. Treasury
sector, the smallest component of the Fund during the period. The high yield
sector benefited from expectations of a strengthening economy, as anticipation
of increased revenues, cash flows and price increases all translated into strong
performance. The international sector performed well as most overseas bond
markets exhibited positive characteristics when compared to domestic government
markets.

How did the Fund perform over the past six months?

  The Fund outperformed the Lehman Government/ Corporate Bond Index, which
tracks the performance of general income funds. The total return for the Fund
was 1.36%, while the Lehman Index posted a total return down 1.88%. The Fund was
able to outperform the Index primarily because of its ability to invest in high
yield and international bonds, while the Index represents only domestic and
investment grade issues.

What is your outlook for the remainder of 1996?

   Despite stronger than expected economic activity to date, we do not
believe that the economy can sustain its pace through the end of the year.
Consequently, we believe that we saw the worst of the U.S. Treasury bond
market during the first half of 1996. While we expect continued volatility
and fluctuating interest rates through the third quarter, we believe that
many issues of concern to the market will be resolved during the fourth
quarter and we are hopeful that interest rates will be lower by year-end.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
Keyport Variable Investment Trust Colonial-Keyport U.S. Fund for Growth
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Contract Owner:

   Colonial-Keyport U.S. Fund for Growth seeks growth over time exceeding the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index performance.

Fund Performance (as of June 30, 1996)

Inception Date ...................................  7/05/94
Assuming reinvestment of all
  distributions 6-month total return  ............     9.30%
Net asset per share on 12/31/95 ..................   $12.36
Net asset per share on 6/30/96 ...................   $13.51

Portfolio Manager's Discussion

   Jeffrey Adams is portfolio manager of Colonial-Keyport U.S. Fund for
Growth. Mr. Adams is vice president of State Street Global Advisors, a
division of State Street Bank and Trust Company, and sub-adviser to the Fund.

What was the Fund's investment strategy during the period?

   In selecting stocks for the portfolio, we continued to focus on a stock's
fundamental value and growth potential. By investing in both value and growth
stocks we are able to take advantage of market cycles and control volatility.
We believe that many stocks which have performed well over the past six
months had price increases driven by the market rather than by their value.
While not owning some of these stocks may have held back some of the Fund's
performance, we believe that this strategy will benefit investors over the
course of the market cycle.

How did the Fund perform over the past six months?

   The Fund modestly underperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, a
broad-based, unmanaged index that tracks U.S. stocks. The total return for
the Fund was 9.30% while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index posted a total
return of 10.08%. The difference can be attributed to the Index benefiting
from a relatively small number of stocks enjoying strong market-driven,
rather than value-driven, price performance.

What investments had an impact on performance?

   Technology stocks continued to be relatively volatile during the beginning
of the period. However, the Fund's neutral sector weightings, which are
designed to mirror those of the S&P 500, provided a degree of insulation. The
Fund benefited from holdings in the financial institution and service
provider sectors.

What is your outlook for the remainder of 1996?

   Earnings growth for large capitalization stocks has slowed over the past
several months. We expect that economic growth will slow. While we expect to
continue to see positive total returns for large cap stocks, we do not expect
returns to be in the range we have seen over the last twelve months. We will
continue to monitor several issues that may have an effect on market
performance, such as the Federal Reserve Board's position on interest rates.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
Keyport Variable Investment Trust Newport-Keyport Tiger Fund
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Contract Owner:

   Newport-Keyport Tiger Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing
primarily in equity securities of companies in the nine "Tigers" of Asia
(Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines,
South Korea and Taiwan). While these markets are subject to risk not
associated with more developed countries, Fund management has more than 25
years of investment experience in the region, and is a leader in Asian
investing.

Fund Performance (as of June 30, 1996)

Inception Date ...................................  5/01/95
Assuming reinvestment of all
  distributions 6-month total return .............     6.14%
Net asset per share on 12/31/95 ..................    $2.28
Net asset per share on 6/30/96 ...................    $2.42

Portfolio Manager's Discussion

   Jack Mussey is president and chief executive officer of Newport Fund
Management, Inc. and portfolio co-manager of Colonial-Keyport Newport Tiger
Fund. Tim Tuttle is managing director of Newport Fund Management and
portfolio co-manager of Colonial-Keyport Newport Tiger Fund.

What was the Fund's investment strategy during the past six months?

   The Fund's strategy remained unchanged: to employ a conservative large-cap
approach and to take advantage of the most attractive Tigers. During the
period, investments continued to be focused on six of the nine countries in
which the Fund can invest. Particular emphasis was placed on the high quality
markets and companies of Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.

How are the "most attractive Tigers" selected?

   The Hong Kong market (43.2% of Fund assets) currently looks well supported
by improving fundamentals in the property market as well as a relaxation of
monetary policy in China. Both these factors should benefit Hong Kong
companies doing business in China as well as increase trade flows through
Hong Kong. Recent worries regarding Taiwan-China conflicts, threats of trade
wars with China and concern over the renewal of the most favored nation
status for China appear to have been largely resolved. The Singapore market
(19.9% of Fund assets) is expected to benefit from government-implemented
measures to cool the hot property market. This, in turn, should lead to an
economic slowdown, particularly in the electronics industry. Slower growth
will increase the nation's excess liquidity, which could go into the
Singapore stock market. Singapore also continues to be an Asian "safe haven,"
with a strong currency and large current account surplus.

How did the Fund perform over the period?

   The Fund outperformed the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Far
East and Asia (GDP) Index, which tracks the performance of international
stocks. The total return for the Fund was 6.14% while the Index posted a
total return of 5.37%. This performance can be attributed to our emphasis on
the Hong Kong and Malaysian markets which rose 9.4% and 14.2% respectively,
over the period.

What is your outlook for the remainder of 1996?

   The outlook for Tiger markets is bright. Corporate profits are expected to
accelerate in 1997. Stronger U.S., Japanese and Chinese growth will fuel
trade within the region and any reversal of the U.S. bull market in stocks
would be expected to refocus global institutional money back to the steady
growth area of the world--the Tiger countries of Asia.

    arrangements had no impact. Prior years' ratios are net of benefits
    received, if any.

    which commissions are charged.

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization and Accounting Policies

Keyport Variable Investment Trust (the "Trust") an open-end, diversified
management investment company, was organized as a Massachusetts business
trust on March 4, 1993. At June 30, 1996 the Trust consisted of six series of
Funds with different investment objectives, policies, and restrictions:
Colonial-Keyport Growth and Income Fund ("Growth and Income Fund"),
Colonial-Keyport Utilities Fund ("Utilities Fund"), Colonial-Keyport
International Fund for Growth ("International Fund for Growth"),
Colonial-Keyport Strategic Income Fund ("Strategic Income Fund"),
Colonial-Keyport U.S. Fund for Growth ("U.S. Fund for Growth"), and
Newport-Keyport Tiger Fund ("Tiger Fund") (individually referred to as a
"Fund", or collectively referred to as the "Funds"). Each Fund's objective is
as follows:

Growth and Income Fund seeks primarily income and capital growth and,
secondarily, capital preservation.

Utilities Fund seeks primarily current income and, secondarily, long-term
growth.

International Fund for Growth seeks long-term growth.

Strategic Income Fund seeks a high level of current income and total return
as is consistent with prudent risk.

U.S. Fund for Growth seeks growth over time exceeding the S&P 500 Index's
performance.

Tiger Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Shares of the Trust are available and are being marketed exclusively as a
pooled funding vehicle for variable annuity contracts ("VA contracts") and
Variable Life insurance Policies ("VLI Policies") of Keyport Life Insurance
Company ("Keyport"), Keyport America Life Insurance Company (formerly Crown
America Life Insurance Company) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keyport), and
the VA contracts of Liberty Life Assurance Company of Boston ("Liberty
Life"). The insurance companies and their separate accounts own all the
shares of the Funds. Keyport Advisory Services Corp. (the "Manager"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Keyport, provides investment management, advisory,
and administrative services to the Trust. Colonial Management Associates,
Inc. ("Colonial") provides sub-advisory services to each Fund of the Trust,
other than the Tiger Fund. Newport Fund Management, Inc. ("Newport") provides
sub-advisory services to the Tiger Fund. Colonial also provides pricing and
recordkeeping services to the Trust. Keyport Financial Services Corp., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Keyport, serves as the underwriter of the Trust.
The Manager, Keyport, Colonial and Newport are indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Liberty Financial Companies, Inc. ("Liberty Financial").
Liberty Mutual Insurance Company ("Liberty Mutual") owns approximately 82% of
the outstanding voting shares of Liberty Financial. Liberty Life is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Mutual and Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance
Company.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

  Valuation of Investments--Portfolio securities listed on an exchange and
over-the-counter securities quoted on the NASDAQ system are valued on the
basis of the last sale on the date as of which the valuation is made, or,
lacking any sales, at the current bid prices. Over-the-counter securities not
quoted on the NASDAQ system are valued at the latest bid quotation. Long-
term debt securities are valued on the basis of dealer-supplied quotations or
valuations furnished by a pricing service which may employ electronic data
processing techniques, including a "matrix" system to determine the
valuations. Foreign debt securities are valued at the current bid price
furnished by market makers. Foreign equity securities listed on an exchange
are valued on the basis of last sale on the date as of which the valuation is
made, or lacking any sales, at the current bid prices. Forward currency
contracts are valued based on the weighted value of the exchange traded
contracts with similar durations. In certain countries, the Fund may hold
foreign designated shares. If the foreign share price is not readily
available as a result of limited share activity, the securities are valued at
the last sale price of the local shares in the principal market in which such
securities are normally traded. Korean equity securities that have reached
the limit for aggregate foreign ownership and for which premiums to the local
exchange prices may be paid by foreign investors are valued by applying a
broker quoted premium to the local share price. Securities for which reliable
quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined
in good faith and pursuant to procedures established by the Trustees.
Short-term instruments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are
valued at amortized cost unless the Trustees determine this does not
represent fair value.

  Federal Income Taxes--The Funds intend to qualify as "regulated investment
companies" and as such (and by complying with the applicable provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code) will not be subject to Federal income tax on
taxable income (including realized capital gains) distributed to
shareholders. By making the distributions required under the Internal Revenue
Code, the Funds intend to avoid excise tax liability.

  Organization Expenses--Costs incurred in connection with the organization
and offering of the Funds are being deferred and amortized over 60 months
from the date those Funds commenced business.

  Delayed Delivery Transactions--Growth and Income Fund and Strategic Income
Fund may purchase or sell secu-

                                      50

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

rities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may
take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of
the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. This may
increase the risk if the other party involved in the transaction fails to
deliver and causes the Funds to subsequently invest at less advantageous
prices. The Funds identify securities as segregated in their custodial
records with a value at least equal to the amount of the purchase commitment.

  Expenses--Most expenses of the Trust can be attributed to a Fund. Expenses
which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the Funds in the
Trust.

  Other--Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign
currency transactions include the fluctuation in exchange rates on gains
(losses) between trade and settlement dates on security transactions, gains
(losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency, and currency gains
(losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividend and interest income
and foreign withholding taxes. The Funds do 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 (losses) from investments. The Funds may enter into forward
currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies at predetermined
exchange rates in connection with the settlement of purchases and sales of
securities. The Funds may also enter into forward currency contracts to hedge
certain other foreign currency denominated assets. The contracts are used to
minimize the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations during the period
between trade and settlement date of the contracts. All contracts are
marked-to-market daily, resulting in unrealized gains (losses) which become
realized at the time the forward currency contracts are closed or mature.
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) arising from such transactions are
included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency
transactions. Forward currency contracts do not eliminate fluctuations in the
prices of the Funds' portfolio securities. While the maximum potential loss
from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars at the time
the contract was opened, exposure is typically limited to the change in value
of the contract (in U.S. dollars) over the period it remains open. Risks may
also arise if counterparties fail to perform their obligations under the
contracts.

Note 2. Fund Share Transactions

Each Fund's capitalization consists of an unlimited number of shares of
beneficial interest without par value that represent a separate series of the
Trust. Each share of a Fund represents an equal proportionate beneficial
interest in that Fund and, when issued and outstanding, is fully paid and
nonassessable. Shareholders would be entitled to share proportionally in the
net assets of a Fund available for distribution to shareholders upon
liquidation of a Fund.

Note 3. Security Transactions

Realized gains (losses) are computed on the identified cost basis for both
financial reporting and Federal income tax purposes. At December 31, 1995,
Utilities Fund and International Fund for Growth had capital loss carryovers
of $4,660,804 and $957,124, respectively, which will expire in or before
2003, if not utilized.

The cost of investments purchased and proceeds from investments sold
excluding short-term investments for the six months ended June 30, 1996, for
the Funds were as follows:


                          Growth                   International
                        and Income    Utilities      Fund for

Proceeds from
  investments sold  ...  23,069,741    11,155,761       350,660


Note 4. Distributions to Shareholders

The Funds intend to distribute as dividends or capital gain distributions, at
least annually, substantially all of their net investment income and net
profits realized from the sale of investments. All dividends and
distributions are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds at net asset
value as of the record date of the distribution. Income and capital gain
distributions are determined in accordance with Federal Income tax
regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
The character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally
accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's
capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or
available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of June 30, 1996 have been reclassified as follows:

                                      51

In all cases net assets were not affected by these changes.

Note 5. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates

  Management and Sub-Advisory Fees--The Funds have management and sub-advisory
agreements with the Manager, Colonial and Newport, respectively. For all the
Funds, the management fee to be paid to the Manager is computed daily and paid
monthly based upon the average daily net assets of the Funds at annual rates
as follows:


                                      Annual Rate
                                      as a Percent
                                       of Average
                                          Daily
              Fund                     Net Assets
- -----------------------------------   -------------

International Fund for Growth  ....    0.90 of 1%
Strategic Income Fund .............    0.65 of 1%
U.S. Fund for Growth  .............    0.80 of 1%
Tiger Fund ........................    0.90 of 1%

The Manager, out of the management fee it receives from the Funds, pays
Colonial and Newport a sub-advisory fee based upon the average daily net
assets of the Funds at annual rates as follows:


                                      Annual Rate
                                      as a Percent
                                       of Average
                                          Daily
              Fund                     Net Assets
- -----------------------------------   -------------
Growth and Income Fund ............    0.45 of 1%
Utilities Fund ....................    0.45 of 1%
International Fund for Growth  ....    0.70 of 1%
Strategic Income Fund .............    0.45 of 1%
U.S. Fund for Growth  .............    0.60 of 1%
Tiger Fund ........................    0.70 of 1%


  Bookkeeping Fee--Colonial provides bookkeeping and pricing services to each
Fund for $27,000 per year plus rates ranging from 0.035% of the Fund's average
daily net assets over $50 million.

  Transfer Agent Fee--Each of the Funds paid Colonial Investment Services,
Inc., an affiliate of Colonial, for transfer agent services rendered at an
annual rate of $7,500.

  Expense Reimbursement--Through April 30, 1997, the Manager has agreed to
reimburse all expenses, including management fees in excess of 1.00% of
average daily net assets per annum for all Funds other than International Fund
for Growth and Tiger Fund which will be reimbursed for all expenses exceeding
1.75% of average daily net assets and the Strategic Income Fund which will be
reimbursed for 0.80% of average daily net assets.

Note 6. Investment in Repurchase Agreements

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and requires the seller of the
instrument to maintain on deposit with the Funds' custodian bank or in the
Federal Reserve Book-Entry System securities in the amount at all times equal
to or in excess of the value of the repurchase agreement plus accrued
interest. The Funds may experience costs and delays in liquidating the
collateral if the issuer defaults or enters bankruptcy.

Note 7. Fund Substitutions

The Trustees approved the substitution of shares of Colonial Keyport
Strategic Income Fund ("CKSIF") for the shares of Managed Income Fund ("MIF")
and the shares of the Mortgage Securities Income Fund ("MSIF") for the shares
of Colonial Keyport U.S. Government Fund ("CKUSGF") (formerly a series of the
Trust). MIF and MSIF are series funds of the SteinRoe Variable Investment
Trust. The substitutions occurred on October 13, 1995 as the net asset value
of shares totaling $37,220,278 in MIF were substituted for shares in CKSIF.
Additionally on this date, the net asset value of shares totaling $25,976,438
in CKUSGF were substituted for shares of MSIF.
