TRUSTEES' REPORT
- ----------------

To Iowa Public Agency Investment Trust Participants:

The Iowa  Public  Agency  Investment  Trust  (IPAIT) is pleased to present  this
semi-annual  report of Trust  operations for the period ended December 31, 1996.
During 1996, market rates for short-term  securities were relatively constant by
historical  standards.  IPAIT  maintained  a  consistent  focus  upon its  three
complementary,    preoritized   investment   objectives;   protecting   invested
participant  funds,  maintaining  the  necessary  degree  of  liquidity  to meet
participant operating needs and providing  participants with an excellent market
rate of return.

Included in this report is a summary of liquid rates for 1996 and each preceding
calendar year. Rates earned by IPAIT participants were reflective of the general
trend in interest rates throughout the year.

Participation  in  IPAIT's  investment  programs  continues  to grow  and  serve
additional  participants.  As of December 31,  1996,  a total of 150 cities,  75
counties,   71  municipal  utilities  and  29  28E  organizations  were  program
participants.  During the period,  total assets invested within the liquid funds
ranged from a low of  $213,651,657  to a high of  $305,211,891.  When fixed term
securities are included, the respective figures range from a low of $256,237,358
to a high of  $345,527,213.  Total  funds  invested  throughout  1996  for  each
category exceeded total funds invested in all previous operating periods.

The Board of  Trustees  is very  pleased  with the  success  of the  IPAIT  cash
management program.

The Board also  welcomes any comments and  suggestions  from  participants  that
might enable IPAIT to be more  responsive  to the cash  management  needs of its
members.

Respectfully,



K.D. Alberts, Chair
Board of Trustees

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

During the first  six-months of the fiscal year, the pace of economic growth was
moderate, inflation was mild, and the Federal Reserve kept short-term unchanged.
The rate on the IPAIT diversified fund was also stable during the time period.

Most measures of inflation  remain quite good.  Core consumer  prices rose at an
annual  rate of 2.6  percent in 1996,  down from 3.0  percent  in 1995.  The GDP
deflator  index,  the  broadest  measure  of U.S  inflation,  has risen only 1.4
percent over the last year.

Wage inflation,  however,  has begun to rise as the  unemployment has dropped to
near 5 percent.  Average hourly earnings have risen at a 3.8 percent annual rate
in 1996. The concern that wage inflation may eventually  lead to higher consumer
prices may cause the Federal Reserve to raise short-term interest rates slightly
in the next six months.  With this  thought in mind the average  maturity of the
portfolio was reduced to 44 days as of December 31, 1996.

The  IPAIT  program  emphasizes  three  key  elements:  safety,  liquidity,  and
competitive  rates in that order. 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.  IPAIT  continues  to  provide a  competitive  rate.  Over the last
six-months, the yield of the diversified portfolio was 0.21 percent greater than
the Donoghue Index of national money market funds.

We appreciate  your support of IPAIT over the fist six-months of the fiscal year
and look forward to serving you in 1997.


Sincerely,



Kathryn D. Beyer, CFA

IOWA PUBLIC AGENCY INVESTMENT TRUST
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.  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 December 31, 1996,
     the  securities   purchased  under  overnight  agreements  to  resell  were
     collateralized  by  government  agency  securities  with  market  values of
     $56,950,000 and  $38,741,118  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.  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 period ended
     December  31,  1996 the  Diversified  Portfolio  and the Direct  Government
     Obligation  Portfolio  paid $352,323 and $98,998,  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 period ended December 31, 1996, the Diversified Portfolio
     and the Direct Government  Obligation  Portfolio paid $127,142 and $37,664,
     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  period
     ended  December  31,  1996,  the  Diversified   Portfolio  and  the  Direct
     Government  Obligation  Portfolio paid $56,572 and $26,708  respectively to
     the Iowa League of Cities,  $34,153 and  $3,423,  respectively  to the Iowa
     Association  of Municipal  Utilities.  For the perdiod  ended  December 31,
     1996, the Diversified  Portfolio paid $34,153 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.
