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

Dear Fellow Contract Owner:

I am pleased to present this annual report for the Keyport Variable
Investment Trust -- Growth and Income Fund, Utilities Fund, International Fund
for Growth, Strategic Income Fund, U.S. Stock Fund and Newport Tiger Fund --
and the SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust -- Cash Income Fund, Mortgage
Securities Income Fund, Managed Assets Fund, Managed Growth Stock Fund and
Capital Appreciation Fund. In the following pages, we will provide you with an
overview of the economic events that occurred over the past six months and
explain how we positioned the funds to respond to these events.


Stock Prices Continue Their Surge

Picking up right where it left off at the end of last year, the stock market
continued its upward climb during the first six months of 1997. Buoyed by
healthy economic growth, strong corporate profits and low inflation, the stock
market, as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial Average, hit record highs. Not
everyone was pleased with this scenario, however. In the first quarter,
stronger-than-expected economic growth and the rising ratio of stock prices to
corporate profits set off economic alarms among a growing number of market
watchers, most notably Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. The Federal
Reserve has been vigilant in its efforts to slow economic growth and reduce
pressures that might trigger inflation and undermine the long expansion. As a
result, few were surprised when, in late March, the Federal Reserve raised the
federal funds rate by one-quarter percentage point to 5.50 percent.

  Although the financial markets had expected this rate hike, they responded
erratically. When the dust finally cleared, the market had fallen nearly 4.3
percent, or 300 points -- at that time, the largest two-day point drop since
the October 1987 market crash. Nonetheless, the S&P 500 ended the first quarter
with a modest gain -- just 2 percent. Most mutual fund investors, however,
enjoyed much smaller gains, with small-cap funds faring worse. That's because,
for much of the past year, undue concern about slowing earnings momentum
prompted many investors to shy away from smaller, higher-growth stocks in favor
of the relative liquidity and predictability of large-cap stocks.

  Stock gains in the second quarter of 1997 bounced back, with the S&P 500
returning 17 percent. While the strongest gains still belonged to larger-cap
stocks, the pendulum began to swing back for small-caps during the quarter.
After months of being passed over, small-cap stocks were attractively priced --
this, coupled with solid profits, sparked a rally among smaller-cap stocks in
the waning months of the reporting period.

  Internationally, the U.S. dollar strengthened against local currencies, which
means U.S. investors received fewer dollars for their investments overseas.
These adverse currency movements overshadowed good news about interest rates
throughout the world. The Asian "Tiger" markets have offered highly variable
performance so far this year. Excluding China, performance has ranged from 20.7
percent for Taiwan to down 35.7 percent in Thailand.
<PAGE>


  For stocks, our longer-term economic outlook remains favorable. There are few,
if any, factors on the horizon that we think might adversely affect the
constructive macroeconomic environment we currently are enjoying. What's more,
many companies continue to deliver the bottom line, in spite of rising labor
costs and waning pricing power. While we think earnings momentum may slow in the
months ahead, we believe the Federal Reserve's efforts to prolong the economic
expansion could help keep corporate earnings strong enough to keep the bear at
bay. Internationally, we believe the move toward a single currency in Europe
will be successful and has the potential to benefit economies around the world.


Bonds May Stage A Quiet Comeback

With bond investors spooked by strong economic reports and expectations of
climbing rates, bond funds have posted lackluster returns relative to the
domestic stock market. With the increase in interest rates and a strong
economy, bond investors have been well served by holding short-duration
portfolios. High-yield bonds and mortgage-backed securities also have provided
good relative returns.

  Although most reports now suggest that inflation is under control, going
forward we think there may be limited upward pressure on short-term interest
rates as the economy continues to expand. We do not, however, expect these
rates to move sharply higher. That's because the "real" federal funds rate --
the federal funds rate minus the rate of inflation -- is already at a level
that would typically discourage economic growth. So while we think it's
possible the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates again, we think the
economy will be slow enough to quell any remaining inflationary pressures.

  Longer term, we believe a solid case can be made for long-term bonds. First,
we expect continued low inflation. In addition, declining budget deficits, both
here and abroad, could help create a bullish backdrop for bonds. And finally,
as long as the Federal Reserve remains vigilant against the ghost of inflation
past, we think this backdrop will become even more powerful.


The Basics

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

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 and Income Fund seeks primarily income and
long-term capital growth and, secondarily, preservation of capital.

Portfolio Manager's Discussion

     Daniel Rie is lead Portfolio Manager of Colonial-Keyport Growth and Income
Fund. Dan is a Senior Vice President of Colonial Management Associates, Inc.
and Director of the Equity Investment Department.


What was the investment environment for stocks during the first half of 1997?

     The environment for stocks continued to be quite favorable over the last
six months, with the end of the period marking the twelfth consecutive quarter
of increased stock value in the U.S. The Dow Jones Industrial and NASDAQ
averages have each set several new records during the period. The market
strength is drawn from continued growth in the U.S. economy, consistent
positive corporate earnings, and low inflation.


What is your current investment strategy?

     Under our expanded strategy of value investing we search for stocks with
above-average earnings potential regardless of market sector. While in the past
we sought out traditional value stocks, like utilities and financial firms, we
are also investing in technology issues, basic industries and consumer stocks.
Our strategy is to sell a stock when it has met its value objective.


What is your market outlook for the Fund?

     With continued economic growth and inflation under control, the Fund's
well-diversified portfolio of value stocks should continue to benefit the Fund
for the remainder of 1997. However, any investment carries risk and veteran
investors know that no upturn lasts forever. But, as always, the Fund's active
management is designed to help provide protection in the event of a market
decline.

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

Dear Contract Owner:

     Colonial-Keyport Utilities Fund seeks primarily current income and,
secondarily, long-term capital growth. The Fund pursues its objective by
investing primarily in common and preferred stocks issued by domestic utility
companies.


Fund Performance (as of June 30, 1997)

Inception Date  ..............................     7/1/93
Assuming reinvestment of all distributions
   6-month total return  .....................       7.29%
Net asset value per share on 12/31/96   ......     $10.70
Net asset value per share on 6/30/97    ......     $11.48


Portfolio Manager's Discussion

     John Lennon is lead Portfolio Manager of Colonial-Keyport Utilities Fund
and is a Vice President of Colonial Management Associates, Inc.


How have utility stocks performed during the first half of 1997?

     Long-term Treasury rates influenced many investment markets during the
first six months of the year. They began at 6.64% in January and rose
throughout most of the period. After the Federal Reserve Board raised
short-term interest rates in late March, as a pre-emptive strike against
inflation, they reached a high of 7.17%, but then recovered to finish the
period at 6.78%. In this generally rising interest rate environment, utility
stock performance was flat as measured by the Dow Jones Utility Average.


What impact did the three utility sectors have on performance during this
period?

     Based on total return, electric utilities rose slightly and natural gas
stocks advanced moderately. The performance of the telephone sector
significantly influenced the Fund's total return. These stocks received a
significant boost in the latter half of the period from two developments.
First, the Justice Department approved the merger of Bell Atlantic and NYNEX.
(Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval is still pending.) Secondly,
FCC decisions eased investor concerns over access charges and universal service
reform.


How did the Fund perform during the six month period?

     The telephone sector's strong performance paid off for Colonial-Keyport
Utilities Fund. The Fund holds significant positions in telephone
stocks--currently about 34% of the portfolio--and the top four holdings are
telecommunications companies. With their help, the Fund had a total return of
7.29% for the first six months of the year. This return beat that of the Dow
Jones Utility Average, which was flat for the same time period. The Dow Jones
Utility Average is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of electric
and natural gas utility stocks and does not include telephone issues.

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 capital
growth by investing primarily in non-U.S. equity securities.


Fund Performance (as of June 30, 1997)

Inception Date  ..............................      5/2/94
Assuming reinvestment of all distributions
   6-month total return  .....................       14.29%
Net asset value per share on 12/31/96   ......       $1.96
Net asset value per share on 6/30/97    ......       $2.24


Portfolio Manager's Discussion

     Bruno Bertocci and David Harris are Portfolio Co-Managers of
Colonial-Keyport International Fund for Growth and Vice Presidents of Colonial
Management Associates, Inc. They are also Investment Management Principals with
Stein Roe Global Capital Management, a division of Stein Roe & Farnham, Inc.


What was the investment environment for international stocks during the first
half of 1997?

     International stocks had strong returns for the first half of 1997. Lower
interest rates in Europe are stimulating economies there, and in Japan the
market is strong amid signs of improved business conditions. Companies in
Southeast Asia and Latin America are poised for growth as residents in those
regions experience a rising standard of living by purchasing more locally
produced goods and services.

How did the Fund perform in the first half of 1997?

     The Fund generated a total return of 14.29% for the first six months of
the year, exceeding the return of 11.21% posted by the Morgan Stanley Capital
International Europe, Australia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index for the same time
period.

What types of investments did you favor?

     The Fund's investment strategy is to focus on undervalued stocks in
developed and developing markets. In the developed countries of Europe, we
currently hold the stocks of several companies that are restructuring their
businesses to become more competitive. In Japan, we are focused on the
export-oriented and retail sectors. In the developing markets of Asia, we favor
property and other infrastructure-related companies, as well as banks and
retailers. In Latin America, we are primarily focused on telecommunications and
consumer product companies.

What is your market outlook?

     We think the recent strong performance in the international markets
suggests that investors are beginning to realize the attractive valuation of
internal stocks and their prospective return potential. We believe that the
Fund is well positioned for the future with a broad mix of attractively valued
securities.

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

Dear Contract Holder:

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


Fund Performance (as of June 30, 1997)

Inception Date  ..............................     7/5/94
Assuming reinvestment of all distributions
   6-month total return  .....................       3.35%
Net asset value per share on 12/31/96   ......     $11.04
Net asset value per share on 6/30/97    ......     $11.41


Portfolio Manager's Discussion

     Carl Ericson is portfolio manager of Colonial-Keyport Strategic Income
Fund. Mr. Ericson is a 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 1997?

     The Fund invests in three major bond markets--high yield corporate bonds,
foreign government bonds and U.S. government bonds. This diversification allows
investors to benefit from the unique characteristics of each market, while
reducing the effects of negative performance in a single market. At the end of
the period, 40% of the Fund's portfolio was invested in high yield corporate
bonds; 27% of the portfolio was invested in bonds issued by foreign
governments, primarily in European securities; and 25% was invested in U.S.
Treasury bonds. This allowed the Fund to benefit from the strong performance of
the U.S. economy. The U.S. government market was especially volatile because of
concerns that the growing economy would bring about a return of inflation. In
March, the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates as a
pre-emptive strike against inflation, lowering values of U.S. government bonds.


How did the Fund perform over the last six months?

     The Fund's total return was 3.35% for the period. This was greater than
that of the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index, which posted a
total return of 2.74%. This is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance
of the U.S. Bond market. The Fund was able to outperform the Index due to the
Fund's diversification and the ability to invest in sectors less affected by
U.S. interest rates, such as domestic high yield corporate bonds and European
government securities.


What is your market outlook?

     The U.S. economy should continue to grow for the rest of 1997, although
probably at a steadier rate than during the last six months. While this will
benefit high yield corporate bonds, we expect the Federal Reserve Board to
raise interest rates at least once more this year. As a result, we believe
volatility will continue in the U.S. government bond market. In the foreign
bond market, conditions should improve as progress continues toward a European
Monetary Union.

*The Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index is an unmanaged index that
tracks the performance of a selection of U.S. government agency, Treasury and
investment-grade corporate bonds. The Lehman Mutual Fund General Bond Index 
(used previously to track performance) ceased to exist in May 1995, the Lehman
Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index most closely parallels that Index's
performance. Unlike mutual funds, indexes are not investments, do not incur fees
or expenses and it is not possible to invest in an index.

charges imposed by your insurance company's separate accounts or certain

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION

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

Dear Contract Owner:

     Colonial-Keyport U.S. Stock Fund seeks growth over time exceeding the S&P
500 Index's performance.


Fund Performance (as of June 30, 1997)

Inception Date  ..............................      7/5/94
Assuming reinvestment of all distributions
   6-month total return  .....................       18.99%
Net asset value per share on 12/31/96   ......      $14.22
Net asset value per share on 6/30/97    ......      $16.92


Portfolio Manager's Discussion

     Mark Stoeckle is Portfolio Manager of Colonial-Keyport U.S. Stock Fund.
Mr. Stoeckle is a Vice President of Colonial Management Associates, Inc.


What was your investment strategy during the first half of 1997?

     During the period, the trend of large-cap stocks dominating the bull
market continued. We were somewhat surprised at the ability of the large-cap
stocks to sustain their impressive earnings growth. First, they compete on a
global scale with much of their profits coming from overseas, so they are not
intrinsically tied to only the U.S. economy. Second, the large companies have
been highly proficient at streamlining their operations--cutting out the waste
and boosting efficiency. Finally, the widespread use of technology has created
additional economies and allowed the big companies to manage their businesses
in a more cost effective and productive manner. We expect these factors to
continue to favorably impact the bottom line of large-cap companies for the
remainder of 1997, and possibly beyond.

What sector had an impact on Fund performance?

     Our holdings in the health care sector helped the Fund's performance.
Specifically, Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb significantly outperformed the S&P
500 for the first two quarters of the year, rising 33% and 50% respectively.
This was due in part to quarterly earnings that were higher than expected.

What is your market outlook?

     Large-cap stocks should continue to perform well over the next six months,
as we expect both interest rates and inflation to remain low. Blue chip,
multinational companies should continue to benefit from the strengthening
global economy. However, we anticipate some slowing in the large-cap market.
The strong returns from the first half of 1997 may make it difficult for the
market to sustain its current rate of growth.

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

Dear Contract Owner:

     Newport-Keyport Tiger Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing
primarily in equity securities of companies located in the nine "Tigers" of
Asia--Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the
Philippines, South Korea and Taiwan.


Fund Performance (as of June 30, 1997)

Inception Date  ..............................     5/1/95
Assuming reinvestment of all distributions
   6-month total return  .....................       4.76%
Net asset value per share on 12/31/96   ......      $2.52
Net asset value per share on 6/30/97    ......      $2.64


Portfolio Manager's Discussion

     Jack Mussey is President and Chief Executive Officer of Newport Fund
Management, Inc. and Portfolio Co-Manager of Newport-Keyport Tiger Fund. Tim
Tuttle is Managing Director of Newport Fund Management and Portfolio Co-Manager
of Newport-Keyport Tiger Fund. While the Tiger markets are subject to risks not
associated with more developed countries, the Fund's management team has more
than 20 years of investment experience in the region.


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

     As in the past, the Fund maintained its focus on long-term investments in
well-managed, high-quality companies. Over the last six months, we increased
investments in Hong Kong as it became evident that the transfer of Hong Kong to
Chinese sovereignty could go smoothly. The Fund also reduced its holdings in
Thailand, as the economy weakened due to plans in both the banking and property
sectors.


What investments contributed to performance?

     Investments in Hong Kong were the biggest contributors to the Fund's total
performance. For example, Hong Kong Gas and Electric stocks posted a strong 25
to 30 percent increase in second quarter earnings after performing poorly in
the first three months of the year. The Fund also benefited from its
investments in so-called "red chip" stocks, that are Hong Kong listed
subsidiaries of Chinese companies. One such "red chip" we have in our portfolio
is Citic Pacific. This well-managed power company has maintained an annual
earnings growth rate of 30% over the past 5 years.


What is your market outlook?

     We remain optimistic about the long-term growth potential in the Tiger
countries. Hong Kong, in particular, should continue to flourish as mainland
China provides money for infrastructure investment and the economic integration
between two countries. China's economy is continuing to grow at a 9% annual
rate and Singapore is rebounding from an economic downturn. Investors in the
Newport-Keyport Tiger Fund should see the benefits of this dynamic growth as
the region continues to attract investment capital from around the world.

                         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, 1997 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. Stock Fund ("U.S. Stock
Fund"), 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 long-term capital growth and,
secondarily, preservation of capital.

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

International Fund for Growth seeks long-term capital growth, by investing
primarily in non-U.S. equity securities.

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

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

Tiger Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity
securities of companies located in the nine "Tigers" of Asia (Hong Kong,
Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, China and the
Philippines).

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 75% 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.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 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 securities 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 gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in
exchange rates 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 gains (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, 1996,
Utilities Fund had capital loss carryovers of $4,706,616 which will expire in
or before 2004, if not utilized.


The cost of investments purchased and proceeds from investments sold excluding
short-term investments for the six months ended June 30, 1997, for the Funds
were as follows:

For Growth and Income Fund and Strategic Income Fund, none and $148,750 and
$4,137,223 and $1,737,753, respectively, represent the purchase cost and
proceeds of sales of U.S. Government securities, respectively.


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, 1997 have
been reclassified as follows:

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

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust Capital Appreciation Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Contract Owner:

Following a relatively weak first quarter, the Fund's performance rebounded in
the second quarter ended June 30, 1997, with the Fund gaining 15.6 percent, only
slightly behind the Russell 2000 return of 16.2 percent. This led to a total
return for the six months ended June 30, 1997, of 7.2 percent for the Fund
versus a 10.2 percent return for the Russell 2000. The Fund's performance
continued to strengthen in the latter part of the second quarter, gaining 6.6
percent for the month of June versus 4.3 percent for the Russell 2000.

   We maintain between 30 percent and 40 percent of our total equity assets in
the Fund's 10 largest equity positions. Such concentration has enhanced the
Fund's overall return in the past. Past experience suggests that the stocks that
perform best for us are those we know most thoroughly. During the reporting
period, we added to our 10 largest holdings, increasing the concentration of the
Fund's equity assets in its top holdings to 37 percent. We believe this strategy
helped the Fund's overall performance, as our top 10 equity holdings accounted
for approximately 74 percent of the Fund's total return in the first six months.
For example, four of the Fund's top 10 holdings -- Alternative Resources (3.2
percent of total net assets), AVX Corporation (3.6 percent of total net assets),
CB Commercial Real Estate (3.8 percent of total net assets), and 20th Century
Industries (3.9 percent of total net assets) -- appreciated 17.3 percent, 25.6
percent, 53.4 percent and 24.4 percent, respectively, during the first six
months of the year.

   In terms of sector performance, the Capital Appreciation Fund's best
performers in the first half of the year were in the financial, technology and
industrial sectors. Financial stocks that contributed meaningfully to the strong
performance included our specialty insurance holdings -- 20th Century
Industries, Mutual Risk Management and Meadowbrook Insurance (3.9 percent, 2.9
percent, and 3.4 percent of total net assets) -- as well as the real estate
manager and broker CB Commercial Real Estate (3.8 percent of total net assets).
Among the strongest performers in the technology sector were FiServ (3.6 percent
of total net assets), which provides data processing services to financial
companies, and Alternative Resources (3.2 percent of total net assets), which
provides human resource solutions for technology assignments. AVX Corporation
(3.6 percent of total net assets), a leading manufacturer of passive electronic
components also fared well, as demand for its products has begun to increase
following a cyclical slowdown in business volume. Strong industrial stocks
include Kent Electronics (2.8 percent of total net assets), an electronics
distributor and contract manufacturer, and Ballantyne of Omaha (1.9 percent of
total net assets), the leading producer of motion picture projectors. Finally,
Grupo Radio Centro (1.8 percent of total net assets) also did well; this owner
and operator of radio stations in Mexico benefited from improving economic
conditions.

   Offsetting a portion of these gains, the Fund's energy holdings continued to
underperform in the second quarter reflecting declining oil and gas prices.

Resources (2.3 percent of total net assets) was particularly weak based
on disappointing recent exploration results. While the Fund's three domestic
exploration and production companies have been disappointing investments in the
short term, they have been very successful long-term investments because their
management teams have succeeded in growing oil and gas reserves rapidly at a low
cost per barrel. Central European Television (3.2 percent of total net assets),
an owner and operator of television stations based in Europe, was negatively
affected by regulatory uncertainty -- subsequently resolved in way that is
favorable to the company -- and currency depreciation in the Czech Republic.

   Recent new holdings include CoreStaff, a provider of information technology
staffing solutions; SPSS, a leader in statistical software; and Henry Schein, a
distributor of dental and medical products (2.3 percent, 1.8 percent, and 1.2
percent of total net assets). We also purchased shares in Helen of Troy (1.6
percent of total net assets), a designer and marketer of hair care and personal
appliances. The Fund sold CFC International, National Processing and Storm
Technology after disappointing operating results, and we eliminated Dr.
Solomon's Group after signs of more vigorous competition in the anti-virus
software market.

   The Capital Appreciation Fund attempts to create wealth for its shareholders
by investing in well-selected small-cap growth companies that are
entrepreneurially managed and which trade at reasonable valuation levels. During
the reporting period we maintained an equity ratio of roughly 90 percent of
total net assets -- this is approximately the midpoint of our normal equity
ratio range of 85 percent to 95 percent. We believe the growth prospects for the
companies in the portfolio are considerably higher than for the typical company
in today's market. At the same time, the portfolio's price-earnings ratio is
only a modest premium to that of the market. In our opinion today's small-cap
investor should benefit from higher growth, without having to overpay for it.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment
return will vary, so you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares. Total
return performance includes changes in share price and reinvestment of income
and capital gains distributions. Life of Fund is from Fund inception on Jan. 1,
1989, benchmark performance is from Dec. 31, 1988, to June 30, 1997. The Russell
2000 is an unmanaged group of stocks that differs from the Fund's composition;
it is not available for direct investment. According to Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc., an independent monitor of mutual fund performance, the median
total returns for the Fund's small-cap fund peer group for the one-year,
five-year and Life of Fund periods ended June 30, 1997, were 16.68 percent,
16.55 percent and 16.42 percent, respectively.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust Managed Growth Stock Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear Contract Owner:

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Managed Growth Stock Fund's return of
19.57 percent outpaced the 14.35 percent median return of its Lipper VA growth
fund peer group as well as the S&P 500 return of 19.49.

   During the first half of the reporting period, growing concern about a
possible earnings slowdown prompted many investors to flee small- and mid-cap
stocks in search of the liquidity and predictability of large-cap, high-quality
growth stocks. The Fund clearly benefited from this trend, which continued into
the second half of the reporting period. Large-cap, high-quality growth stocks
have experienced a powerful market rally as their multinational focus continues
to attract investors' dollars. That's because investors have increasingly
emphasized earnings, and large-cap, high-quality stocks with a multinational
focus have, in general, reported much better earnings than their small- and
mid-cap brethren.

   The pharmaceutical sector was one of our top performers, due in large part to
a string of successful new product introductions and the continued enthusiastic
support of investors who favor the noncyclical -- and relatively stable --
nature of drug company earnings. The portfolio's telecommunications equipment
providers also boosted performance, particularly companies like Motorola,
Tellabs and LM Ericcson (3.5 percent, 2.6 percent and 3.0 percent of total net
assets, respectively) that continue to provide innovative products to help solve
the need among telephone companies to upgrade systems and handle greater voice
and data capacity. Finally, global consumer franchises like Coca-Cola, Gillette
and Procter & Gamble (3.4 percent, 3.6 percent and 3.2 percent of total net
assets, respectively) continue to do well as their earnings consistently meet or
exceed expectations.

   Purchases during the last six months have ranged from Motorola, a
telecommunications equipment company, and Nokia Corp., a leading international
telecommunications group; to Paychex, Inc., a provider of payroll processing
services, and Wells Fargo & Co., one of the largest bank holding companies (3.5
percent, 1.9 percent, 0.7 percent and 1.3 percent of total net assets,
respectively). We believe these companies should experience strong earnings
growth over the next few years.

   We remain positive about the Fund's long-term prospects, especially since we
think that increased global competition has created a new breed of large-cap
company -- one that boasts worldwide dominance, superefficient production and an
outspoken commitment to shareholder value. In our opinion, these kinds of
companies should do well regardless of how the U.S. economy is performing.

                                               Erik Gustafson, Portfolio Manager

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust Managed Assets Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Dear Contract Owner:

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Managed Assets Fund's return of 9.17
percent lagged the 10.14 percent median return of its Lipper VA flexible
portfolio peer group, and the 19.49 percent return of the S&P 500.

   Solid performances by our financial services, health care, electrical
equipment and retail holdings fueled performance. Many of our international
holdings also contributed. Our equity gains, however, were offset somewhat by
the flatter returns of our REIT and energy holdings. Our fixed income holdings
- -- dampened in the first quarter of 1997 when the rate increase caused the long
bond to more than retrace earlier gains -- rallied later in the reporting period
on the news of a possible budget deal and strong foreign demand.

   To help enhance diversification, we added several new holdings, including
United HealthCare, a health care management firm; Fujitsu, a Japanese
telecommunications equipment firm; Siemens, a German electronics firm; and Santa
Fe International, an oil services firm (0.7 percent, 0.5 percent, 0.5 percent
and 0.5 percent of total net assets, respectively). We shifted out of GM and
into Honda (0.7 percent of total net assets) during the last six months, as we
think a stronger dollar could hamper U.S. automakers' ability to compete against
Japanese and German competitors.

   Going forward, we believe inflation will remain moderate and economic growth
will eventually slow, which could lead to further positive returns for our bond
investments. While we think attractive equity opportunities exist overseas,
we're less positive about the domestic stock market, as we think either slowing
corporate revenues or increasing wage pressures could lead to some erosion in
profit margins. Nonetheless, we think a good bond market and strong economic
conditions should ward off any major dislocations.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust Mortgage Securities Income Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear Contract Owner:

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Mortgage Securities Income Fund's return
of 3.35 percent outpaced the 3.24 percent median return of its Lipper U.S.
government fund peer group, but trailed the 3.92 percent return of the Lehman
Mortgage-Backed Securities Index.

   We gradually have reduced the Fund's mortgage-backed holdings throughout the
reporting period as they have become less attractive. We are now near the lower
end of our historical allocation range for mortgages. That's because we believe
mortgages are generally overvalued as a result of both strong investor demand
for these securities and low volatility in the bond market. We sold current
coupon and premium coupon mortgages because we think these are the most likely
to underperform if interest rates decline and prepayment risk increases. We
have, however, held onto lower- and higher-coupon mortgage securities that we
think are the most attractive in the current environment.

   We view asset-backed securities collateralized by home equity loans and
manufactured housing loans as very attractive. These securities have less
prepayment risk than most mortgage-backed securities and, on a risk-adjusted
basis, have attractive yields relative to mortgage-backed securities. We
currently have 9.6 percent of the Fund invested in asset-backed securities.

   Going forward, we believe Treasury securities will outperform mortgages over
the next three to six months. Currently, mortgages do not offer enough yield to
compensate for the prepayment risk inherent in these securities. Within the
mortgage market, we think discount and premium coupons are attractive relative
to current coupons. Given our favorable outlook for the economy, we believe
corporate bonds may outperform both Treasuries and mortgages.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust Cash Income Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dear Contract Owner:

Cash Income Fund finished the six-month reporting period with a 2.49 percent
total return, just ahead of the 2.48 percent median return for its money market
fund peer group.

   The Fund's yield reflects the see-saw environment of interest rates that has
been in effect throughout much of the last year. One year ago, the Federal
Reserve had just shifted from an easing to a neutral mode, as its series of rate
cuts designed to bring the economy to a soft landing appeared successful.
Throughout this year, the economy's mixed signals sent money market rates up and
down, but in a fairly tight range. In late March 1997, economic signposts
pointed to an economy that was growing too quickly, and the Federal Reserve
tightened rates by a quarter of a percentage point. Since then, however,
economic growth appears to have slowed to a more sustainable rate and the
Federal Reserve has stood firm on interest rates.

   During times of economic uncertainty, we look for pockets of opportunity to
potentially enhance the Fund's yield. While the Federal Reserve was in its
easing-to-neutral mode, we added to our holdings of Federal agency securities to
lock in higher yields on longer-term securities. The middle two quarters of the
fiscal year brought mixed economic signals. As a result, we increased our
allocation of shorter-term commercial paper. This benefited the Fund because
many investors expected a tightening move.

   As we approached fiscal year end, investors began to anticipate further rate
hikes and we looked to add corporate "floaters" to the Fund at attractive
spreads. We like these variable-rate corporate notes because they have one-year
maturities and their coupons adjust or "float" quarterly with market rates. Not
only do they offer high current yield potential, they also offer additional
yield potential because their coupons will float up to at least market rate
yields should the Federal Reserve raise interest rates. We are very selective in
the floaters we purchase. Of course we consider them for their defensive
characteristics in a rising-rate environment, but we also look for an attractive
current coupon. In this way, even if the Federal Reserve goes into a neutral
mode we can continue to capture additional yield potential.

   Going forward, we plan to keep the Fund's average maturity shorter because
there is still a slim chance that the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates
at one of its next meetings. By maintaining a neutral maturity range, The Fund
is positioned to respond accordingly to the outcome of those meetings or other
significant economic events. As always, we'll look for opportunities to add
longer-maturity securities at attractive rates.

                                                 Jane Naeseth, Portfolio Manager

(a) Non-income producing security.

(b) The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is identical. Gross
    unrealized appreciation and depreciation at June 30, 1997 is as follows:

    Gross unrealized appreciation:       $53,523,558
    Gross unrealized depreciation:        (2,982,059)
                                          ----------

                                           =========

(c) Restricted securities. These securities generally are issued to
    institutional investors, such as the Fund, who agree that they are
    purchasing the securities for investment and not with a view to public
    distribution. Any resale by the Fund must be in an exempt transaction,
    normally to other institutional investors. At June 30, 1997, the aggregate
    value of the Fund's restricted securities was $5,403,811, which represented
    1.7% of net assets. None of these are deemed to be illiquid securities.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1. Organization and Accounting Policies

SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust (the "Trust"), an open-end management
investment company, was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 9,
1987. At June 30, 1997, the Trust consisted of five diversified Funds with
differing investment objectives, policies and restrictions (individually
referred to as a "Fund," or collectively referred to as the "Funds"):

Capital Appreciation Fund--seeks capital growth by investing in equity
securities.

Managed Growth Stock Fund--seeks long-term growth of capital by investing 65
percent of total assets in growth companies.

Managed Assets Fund--seeks high total investment return by investing in equity
and debt securities.

Mortgage Securities Income Fund--seeks highest possible level of current income
by investing at least 65 percent of total assets in mortgage pass-through
certificates.

Cash Income Fund--seeks high current income while emphasizing capital
preservation from investment in short-term money market instruments.

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 various affiliated insurance
companies and, in the case of Capital Appreciation Fund, also of Transamerica
Life Companies, Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and Providian Life &
Health Insurance Company. Stein Roe and Farnham, Inc. (the "Adviser") provides
investment advisory services to the Funds as well as management and
administrative services. SteinRoe Services, Inc. provides transfer agent
services. Keyport Financial Services Corp., a subsidiary of Keyport Life
Insurance Company ("Keyport"), serves as the underwriter of the Trust. Keyport,
the Adviser and the Transfer Agent are direct subsidiaries of Liberty Financial
Companies, Inc. At June 30, 1997, various affiliated insurance companies of
Liberty Financial Companies Inc. owned 100 percent of the outstanding shares of
all Funds, except for Capital Appreciation Fund, of which Liberty Financial
Companies Inc. affiliates owned 93.3 percent, Transamerica Life Companies owned
2.7 percent, Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company owned 3.9 percent, and
Providian Life & Health Insurance Company owned 0.1 percent.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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
increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments--Portfolio securities listed on domestic exchanges 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. Foreign security
valuations are generally based upon market quotations which, depending upon
local convention or regulation, may be last sale price, last bid or asked price,
or the mean between last bid and asked prices as of, in each case, the close of
the appropriate exchange or other designated time. Long-term debt securities are
valued on the basis of dealer-supplied quotations or valuations furnished by a
pricing service. 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 securities with remaining
maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost unless the Trustees
determine this does not represent fair value. Cash Income Fund values
investments utilizing the amortized cost valuation technique permitted in
accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which
requires the Fund to comply with certain conditions. This technique involves
valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and, thereafter, assuming a
constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

Federal Income Taxes--The Funds now qualify and intend to continue qualifying 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.

Foreign Currency Transactions--Certain of the Funds have entered into foreign
exchange contracts for the settlement of purchases and sales of securities
denominated in a foreign currency to reduce the risk to the Funds from adverse
changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currency.
The face or contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the Fund
has in that particular currency contract. In the event that the counterparty in
the foreign exchange contract fails to meet the terms of the contract, the Fund
could be exposed to the effects of changes in the relationship between the U.S.
dollar and the foreign currency.

Investment Transactions--The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued, delayed delivery 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 


                                       32
<PAGE>

negotiated. Managed Assets Fund and Mortgage Securities Income Fund also may
enter into dollar roll transactions. In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund
sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts
to repurchase, typically in 30 days to 60 days, substantially similar securities
at an agreed-upon price and date. These transactions may increase the risk if
the other party to the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Fund to
subsequently invest at less advantageous yields. The Funds identify securities
as segregated in their custodial records with a value at least equal to the
amount of the purchase commitment.

Other--Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts on debt securities are amortized in
accordance with Internal Revenue Code requirements. Dividend income and
distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized
and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions include the
fluctuation in exchange rates on gains and losses between trade and settlement
dates on security transactions, gains and losses arising from the disposition of
foreign currency, and currency gains and 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 investment 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. Unrealized
appreciation and depreciation and realized gains and losses differ between
financial statements and tax earnings due to deferred losses from wash sales.

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 and losses are computed on the identified cost basis for both
financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. At December 31, 1996,
Mortgage Securities Income Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $3,041,745,
which will expire between 2002 and 2004, if not utilized. The cost of
investments purchased and proceeds from investments sold, excluding short-term
investments, for the six months ended June 30, 1997, for the Funds, excluding
Cash Income Fund, were as follows:

                                                            Mortgage
                      Capital      Managed      Managed    Securities
                   Appreciation    Growth       Assets       Income
                       Fund      Stock Fund      Fund         Fund
                   ------------  -----------  -----------  -----------------
Cost of investments                                        
 purchased          $67,635,846  $18,783,042   $68,324,869   $14,888,245
Proceeds from                                              
 investments sold    74,660,798   23,423,495   122,426,982    12,005,496
                                                           
Note 4. Distributions to Shareholders                   

The Funds, with the exception of the Cash Income Fund, intend to distribute as
dividends or capital gains distributions, at least annually, substantially all
of their net investment income and net gains realized from the sale of portfolio
securities. All dividends and distributions are reinvested in additional shares
of the Funds. Cash Income Fund declares dividends daily and reinvests all
dividends declared monthly in additional shares at net asset value. Income and
capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles
primarily relating to gains and losses on principal paydowns.

Note 5. Management and Administrative Fees

The Funds have advisory and administrative agreements with the Adviser. The
following investment advisory fee rates were in effect as of June 30, 1997:

                                               Annual rate(s) as a
                                                   percent of
        Fund(s)                             average daily net assets
        -------                              ----------------------
Capital Appreciation Fund                           .50 of 1%

Managed Growth Stock Fund                           .50 of 1%

Managed Assets Fund                                 .45 of 1%

Mortgage Securities Income Fund                     .40 of 1%

Cash Income Fund                                    .35 of 1%

As of June 30, 1997, for all the Funds, the administrative fee was .15 of 1
percent of average annual net assets. Both the investment advisory fees and the
administrative fees are computed daily and paid monthly.

The Adviser also provides the Funds with certain Fund accounting services. The
fee is $25,000 annually plus .0025 of 1 percent of assets in excess of $50
million. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Capital Appreciation Fund,
Managed Growth Stock Fund, Managed Assets Fund, Mortgage Securities Income Fund
and Cash Income Fund incurred charges of $14,234, $14,380, $15,660, $12,806, and
$12,520, respectively.

The Funds pay SteinRoe Services, Inc. for transfer agent services rendered at an
annual rate of $7,500 computed on the basis of $625 per month.

                                       33
<PAGE>

The Adviser has agreed to reimburse all expenses, including management fees,
incurred by the Funds as follows:

        Fund(s)                           Expenses exceeding
        -------                        -------------------------
Capital Appreciation Fund             .80 of 1% of average daily net assets

Managed Growth Stock Fund             .80 of 1% of average daily net assets

Managed Assets Fund                   .75 of 1% of average daily net assets

Mortgage Securities Income Fund       .70 of 1% of average daily net assets

Cash Income Fund                      .65 of 1% of average daily net assets

The expense limitations expire April 30, 1998.

Note 6. Investment in Repurchase Agreements

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks, broker-dealer firms
and other recognized financial institutions, whereby such institutions sell an
instrument in which a Fund may invest to that Fund, and the seller agrees, at
the time of the sale, to repurchase that instrument at a specified time and
price. The Funds require the seller of the instrument to maintain on deposit
with the Funds' custodian bank or in the Federal Reserve Book-Entry System
securities in an amount at all times equal to or in excess of the value of the
repurchase agreement plus accrued interest. In the event the seller of the
instrument defaults on the repurchase obligation, a Fund could receive less than
the repurchase price on the sale of the securities to another party or could be
subject to delays in selling the securities.
