STATEMENT OF SPONSORING ASSOCIATIONS

IPAIT  CONTINUES TO EXPLORE WAYS TO BETTER  SERVE ITS MEMBERS'  CASH  MANAGEMENT
NEEDS IN THE FUTURE.

The Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust (IPAIT) enjoyed its most successful year
of operation to date during  fiscal year  1995-96.  Total funds  invested in all
program  investment  services were higher for each respective day throughout the
year than for any previous year in the program's existence.

IPAIT was  initially  created in 1987 as a cash  management  program  for use by
members of the Iowa League of Cities,  the Iowa State  Association  of Counties,
and the Iowa  Association of Municipal  Utilities.  Since  inception,  our three
sponsoring   associations   and  the  IPAIT  Board  of  Trustees  have  remained
consistently  focused  upon  providing  participants  with  only the  safest  of
investment alternatives.

During the fiscal year, prevailing short-term interest rates generally declined.
The Federal  Reserve Board  lowered the federal funds  discount rate three times
for a total of 0.75  percent  throughout  the  period  as the  national  economy
exhibited  signs of slowing and most  inflation  indicators  remained  moderate.
While  IPAIT  rates of return  similarly  declined,  the  program  continued  to
consistently  provide yields superior to those  available from other  investment
alternatives.

Since  inception,  the Diversified and Direct  Government  Obligation Funds have
provided  participants with a total of over $76,000,000 in investment income. No
program or  institution  in the  history of our state has  helped  more  cities,
counties,  municipal utilities,  and other eligible participants to invest their
surplus  operating funds and to earn better rates of interest  without  incident
than the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust.

IPAIT  continues to explore ways to better  serve its members'  cash  management
needs in the future. Participants can continue to rely on the high standards set
in the past, forming the foundation for all future program operations.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

IN ITS NINTH YEAR OF OPERATION, IPAIT'S INVESTMENT POLICIES AND PRACTICES REMAIN
CLEARLY FOCUSED UPON PROTECTING INVESTED FUNDS.

The Iowa  Public  Agency  Investment  Trust  (IPAIT) is pleased to present  this
annual report of Trust operations for the period ended June 30, 1996.

Use of the program's cash management services expanded  dramatically  throughout
the period, setting a number of new investment records for total funds invested.
Total funds  invested in all program  investment  services  were higher for each
respective  day  throughout the year than for any previous year in the program's
existence,  with total funds invested  reaching an all-time high of $345,527,213
on April 8, 1996.

In its ninth year of operation, IPAIT's investment policies and practices remain
clearly focused upon protecting invested funds. The combined investment strength
of the program's 325  participants  working together enables the participants to
provide  themselves  with  investment  returns not available to individual  Iowa
public bodies.

Other highlights from fiscal year 1995-96 include:

     o Average  daily  investments  in the  Diversified  and  Direct  Government
       Obligation Portfolios of $240,336,825, up 19.78 percent from $200,646,799
       in the previous fiscal year,

     o Placement of a total of 54 Fixed Term Automated investments, representing
       a total of $46,781,075 in invested assets,

     o  Placement  of  102   certificates   of  deposit   into  Iowa   financial
        institutions, representing over $96,425,000.

The Board of Trustees  welcomes  your  comments and  suggestions  regarding  the
operation of the IPAIT program.  We thank you for your  continued  participation
and support.  On behalf of the Board, we want to help IPAIT to grow to meet your
cash management needs into the next century.

Respectfully,



Ken Alberts, Chair
Board of Trustees

BOARD OF TRUSTEES
<PAGE>
BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The Board of Trustees for the Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust supervises all
operations of the investment  program.  The Board meets  quarterly to review all
aspects  of IPAIT  operation  and  receives  extensive  performance  information
relative to the program's operation each month.

As the first  cash  management  program  for  cities,  counties,  and  municipal
utilities to be registered  with the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (SEC),
IPAIT offers participants a unique investment opportunity with a distinctly Iowa
presence.

Diversity of experience  and attention to detail  provided by each member of the
Board  assures that each  individual  participant's  funds are  effectively  and
safely invested.  The Board is made up of three representative members from each
of the three sponsoring associations;  the Iowa League of Cities, the Iowa State
Association of Counties, and the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities.

NOTES FROM YOUR SERVICE PROVIDERS

During the fiscal year 1995-96,  short-term interest rates declined. The Federal
Reserve  lowered  the federal  funds rate three times  during the fiscal year in
0.25 percent  increments,  as the economy began to slow and  inflation  remained
moderate.
     The rate on the IPAIT  Diversified  Fund also  declined  during  the fiscal
year,  but still  provided a  competitive  rate to other  short-term  investment
alternatives.  The portfolio  consistently  provided a rate 0.25 percent greater
than the Donoghue Index of national money market funds. The Diversified Fund was
postured to maintain a slightly longer average maturity than the Donoghue Index,
as we anticipated  the decline in short-term  interest  rates.  This enabled the
Diversified Fund to outperform the Index.
     Recently,  fears of inflation  have  surfaced  due to the strong  growth in
employment  over the past few months.  The link between  wages and inflation has
been  correlated in the past, as businesses  have tended to pass through  higher
wage costs into final product prices.  The ability to raise final product prices
in the current  environment is  questionable,  however,  due to price  conscious
consumers.  Company  managements  comment that they have little  flexibility  to
raise prices.
     The Federal Reserve is watching  inflation closely and may raise short-term
interest rates. In our view, however,  any rate increase should be modest, since
inflation  remains  mild and is not  poised to  accelerate  significantly.  Most
measures of inflation are below a 3 percent annual rate.
     The  IPAIT  program  emphasizes  three  elements:  safety,  liquidity,  and
competitive  rates,  in that order.  Although rate is important,  the safety and
security of participant moneys is our first priority.  The second priority is to
assure daily liquidity.  Only after the first two elements are satisfied,  do we
examine  the rates of  different  investments.  As always,  we  appreciate  your
support and look forward to serving you in the 1996-97 fiscal year.

PROGRAM SERVICES AND FEATURES

IPAIT was the first local government  investment  program for cities,  counties,
and municipal  utilities in the country to be registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC).

                                      ooooo

IPAIT is sponsored by the Iowa League of Cities,  the Iowa State  Association of
Counties and the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities. The executive director
of each  association  meets monthly with the IPAIT  service  providers to assure
that all elements of program operation are functioning smoothly.

                                      ooooo

IPAIT's   proprietary   reporting  system  provides   participants   with  daily
confirmations  and monthly account  summaries that are easy to understand by any
interested party.

                                      ooooo

IPAIT provides toll-free phone access to experienced  personnel that are able to
immediately   provide  reliable,   needed   information   regarding  a  specific
participant's account or the securities markets in general.

                                      ooooo

IPAIT provides two investment  portfolios,  the Diversified  Fund and the Direct
Government  Obligation (DGO) Fund, tailored to meet specific needs of investors.
Each portfolio provides complete daily liquidity and rates that typically exceed
those  available  with term  investments  requiring  an  investor  to  sacrifice
liquidity.

                                      ooooo

IPAIT is governed by a Board of Trustees  representative  of the participants in
the program.  No one can anticipate the unique needs of investors of Iowa public
funds better than those responsible for the investment of Iowa public funds.

                                      ooooo

IPAIT invests as many dollars as possible back into Iowa  financial  institution
issued  certificates of deposit.  Since  inception,  association-sponsored  cash
management  programs have invested over  $650,000,000  on behalf of members back
into Iowa institutions.

                                      ooooo

IPAIT  provides  program  support  and  development   services  to  participants
including  program  representatives  that  regularly call upon  participants  to
assure that their needs are met and that their suggestions are considered.

                                      ooooo

Through its Fixed Term  Automated  (FTA) program,  IPAIT can provide  individual
investment  assistance  offering a  participant  the highest  yielding,  legally
authorized  investment  available in the marketplace at any given time including
the Flexible Withdrawal  Certificate of Deposit (Flex-CD).  The Flex-CD is often
used as an investment  vehicle for bond  proceeds  issued in  anticipation  of a
capital  improvement  project.  The fixed rate of interest,  flexible withdrawal
opportunities,  and extended maturity date are perfectly suited to most building
program investment needs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       ORGANIZATION

       Iowa  Public  Agency  Investment  Trust  (IPAIT)  is a common  law  trust
       established  under Iowa law pursuant to Chapter 28E and Sections  331.555
       and 384.21,  Iowa Code (1987),  as amended,  which authorized Iowa public
       agencies  to  jointly  invest  moneys  pursuant  to  a  joint  investment
       agreement.  IPAIT is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
       IPAIT was  established  by the adoption of a Joint Powers  Agreement  and
       Declaration of Trust as of October 1, 1987,  and commenced  operations on
       November 13, 1987.  The Joint Powers  Agreement and  Declaration of Trust
       was  amended  September  1, 1988,  and again on May 1, 1993.  As amended,
       IPAIT  is  authorized  to  operate  and  now  operates  three  investment
       programs:  1)  the  Diversified  Portfolio,   2)  the  Direct  Government
       Obligation  Portfolio,  and 3) the Fixed Term Automated (FTA)  Investment
       Program. These financial statements include activities of the Diversified
       and DG0 Portfolios. The objective of the portfolios is to maintain a high
       degree  of  liquidity  and  safety of  principal  through  investment  in
       short-term  securities as permitted for Iowa public  agencies  under Iowa
       law. The objective of the FTA Investment Program is to provide individual
       public agency ownership of investments in legally permissible  individual
       securities  which  offer  fixed  rates of return  and  fixed  maturities.
       Norwest Bank Iowa, N.A.,  serves as the Custodian and Bank Trust Services
       Provider, and Investors Management Group serves as the Investment Advisor
       and Administrator.

       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 increase and decrease in
       net assets from operations during the period. Actual results could differ
       from those estimates.

       INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES

       The Diversified and Direct Government  Obligation  Portfolios  consist of
       cash and short-term investments valued at amortized cost pursuant to Rule
       2a-7 under the Investment  Company Act of 1940.  This involves  valuing a
       portfolio  security at its  original  cost on the date of  purchase,  and
       thereafter amortizing any premium or discount on a straight-line basis to
       maturity. The amount of premium or discount amortized to income under the
       straight-line  method does not differ  materially  from the amount  which
       would be amortized to income under the interest  method.  Procedures  are
       followed  to  maintain a constant  net asset  value of $1.00 per unit for
       each portfolio.

       Security  transactions  are  accounted  for on the trade  date.  Interest
       income,  including the accretion of discount and amortization of premium,
       is recorded on the accrual basis.

       Under  Governmental  Accounting  Standards as to  custodial  credit risk,
       IPAIT's  investments  in  securities  are  classified  as  category  one.
       Category one is the most secure investment category description.

       Certificates of deposit amounts in excess of the $100,000 federal deposit
       insurance  are  collateralized  as  required by Iowa law,  including  the
       security  provided  by the  State  of  Iowa's  sinking  fund  for  public
       deposits.

       In connection with transactions in repurchase  agreements,  it is IPAIT's
       policy that its Custodian take  possession of the  underlying  collateral
       securities,  the  value of which  exceeds  the  principal  amount  of the
       repurchase  transaction,  including accrued interest at all times. If the
       seller defaults, and the value of the collateral declines, realization of
       the collateral by IPAIT may be delayed or limited.  At June 30, 1996, the
       securities   purchased   under   overnight   agreements  to  resell  were
       collateralized  by  government  agency  securities  with market values of
       $47,678,255 and $44,376,000 for the Diversified  Portfolio and the Direct
       Government Obligation Portfolio, respectively.

       UNIT ISSUES, REDEMPTIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

       IPAIT determines the net asset value of each portfolio  daily.  Units are
       issued and redeemed  daily at the daily net asset value.  Dividends  from
       net   investment   income  for  each  portfolio  is  declared  daily  and
       distributed monthly.

       INCOME TAXES

       IPAIT is exempt from federal and state income tax.

       FEES AND EXPENSES

       Under separate agreements with IPAIT,  Investors  Management Group (IMG),
       the Investment Advisor,  Administrator and Program Support Provider,  and
       Norwest Bank, Iowa, N.A. (Norwest), the Custodian and Bank Trust Services
       Provider,  are paid an annual fee for operating the investment  programs.
       For each of the  portfolios,  IMG  receives  .230  percent of the average
       daily net asset value up to $150 million,  .185 percent from $150 to $300
       million,  and .140 percent exceeding $300 million for investment  advisor
       and  administrative  fees.  In addition,  IMG receives .10 percent of the
       average  daily net asset value up to $250  million  for  program  support
       fees. For the year ended June 30, 1996 the Diversified  Portfolio and the
       Direct  Government  Obligation  Portfolio  paid  $617,335  and  $158,955,
       respectively  to IMG for services  provided.  For each of the portfolios,
       Norwest receives .050 percent of $150 million,  .045 percent from $150 to
       $300  million,  and .040 percent  exceeding  $300  million for  custodial
       services.  Norwest also  receives  .075 percent of the average  daily net
       asset value for bank trust  services.  For the year ended June 30,  1996,
       the Diversified  Portfolio and the Direct Government Obligation Portfolio
       paid $238,913 and $60,210, respectively to Norwest for services provided.
       Under a  distribution  plan the public agency  associations  collectively
       receive an annual fee of .10  percent of the daily net asset value of the
       portfolios.  For the year ended June 30, 1996, the Diversified  Portfolio
       and the Direct Government  Obligation Portfolio paid $106,032 and $39,017
       respectively   to  the  Iowa  League  of  Cities,   $21,675  and  $9,151,
       respectively to the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities. For the year
       ended June 30, 1996, the  Diversified  Portfolio paid $65,120 to the Iowa
       State  Association of Counties.  IPAIT is responsible  for other expenses
       incurred directly by IPAIT. All fees are computed daily and paid monthly.

       Purchases of  portfolio  securities  for the  Diversified  Portfolio  and
       Direct Government  Obligation  Portfolio  aggregated  $15,800,401,570 and

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Trustees and Unitholders
Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust:

We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets of the  Diversified
Portfolio  and the Direct  Government  Obligation  Portfolio  of the Iowa Public
Agency  Investment  Trust (the Trust  Portfolios)  as of June 30, 1996,  and the
related  statements of operations  for the year then ended and the statements of
changes in net assets for each of the years in the  two-year  period then ended,
and the financial highlights for each of the years in the nine-year period ended
June 30, 1996 for the Diversifed  Portfolio and the eight-year period ended June
30,  1996  for the  Direct  Government  Obligation  Portfolio.  These  financial
statements  and the financial  highlights  are the  responsibility  of the Trust
Portfolios'  management.  Our  responsibility  is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and the financial highlights based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable
assurance   about  whether  the  financial   statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial  statements.  Investment securities
held in custody are  confirmed to us by the  Custodian.  An audit also  includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of the Diversified  Portfolio and
the Direct Government  Obligation Portfolio of the Iowa Public Agency Investment
Trust as of June 30, 1996, and the results of their operations for the year then
ended and the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the  two-year
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years presented,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
