THE PARKSTONE ADVANTAGE FUND                                   DECEMBER 31, 1995


Dear Fellow Shareholders:

Where  are the  markets  going  in  1996?  At  this  time  of  year,  economists
prognosticate  and market  strategists  strategize  as each tries to provide the
definitive view of what lies ahead. As we go to press,  economists are concerned
that a slowing  economy  may lead to little  growth or perhaps  even a recession
later in 1996.  The market  strategists  are  worried  about  corporate  profits
declining combined with stock valuations that are at high levels.  With interest
rates so low,  still others predict that rates must go up during the year simply
because  inflation  OUGHT to increase at some point during the  business  cycle.

RECESSION UNLIKELY

Our outlook is much more sanguine. We believe a recession is possible but rather
unlikely,  given the dynamics of an environment in which economic  growth should
continue to build this year.  While  interest rates may stop going down, a large
increase is unlikely due to  well-controlled  inflation.  Our prediction for the
stock market is the same as J. P. Morgan's many years ago when he was asked what
stocks could be expected to do in the coming year. His answer: "fluctuate."

Of course,  forecasting  is  difficult  business and rarely does anyone call the
market's  movements dead on.  Nevertheless,  we believe the fundamentals give us
far more reason to be optimistic than pessimistic.

Although  economic  growth has dropped off  sharply  since the third  quarter of
1995, it is important to recognize  that a number of  impediments  to growth are
temporary.  For example,  as 1995 drew to a close, there was a sharp contraction
in defense-related  government spending. While part of this may be attributed to
unresolved  budget  issues  and  the  subsequent  government  shutdowns,  a more
important  factor was the unusual  increase in spending in the third  quarter of
the year--which was timed by the Washington  bureaucracy to occur before the new
fiscal year began and which  inflated  growth  numbers for the quarter.  Despite
predictions of doom and gloom due to weakness in the recent growth numbers, much
of this  talk is not  consistent  with  the  real  underlying  condition  of the
economy.

GROWTH HAS  SLOWED--NOT  STOPPED

We believe,  as surely as tulips  rise from the ground in the  spring,  that the
economy will strengthen in the coming months.  One of several factors supporting
our view is the  continuing  decline in  interest  rates,  which  makes  another
refinancing  boomlet  likely  in the  housing  sector.  Also in  recent  months,
construction   permits  have  exceeded  the  level  of  housing  starts,   which
historically   leads  to  an   increase.   Consequently,   housing  and  related
expenditures  that follow that  market,  such as  consumer  durables  purchases,
should help foster growth in the months ahead.

In addition, due to the attractiveness of goods priced in U.S. dollars vis-a-vis
other currencies, we also expect to see exports grow by 5.0%-6.0%, less than the
7.5%-8.0% pace of the last several years, but significant nonetheless. Even more
importantly,  economic  growth in both Japan and Latin America is expected to be
much  stronger  in the  coming  year--markets  where the U.S.  can expect to see
export growth.

In our last letter,  we noted that capacity  utilization  in  manufacturing  was
declining and a slowdown in business  investment  growth would  follow.  Indeed,
after two to three years of low  double-digit  growth,  business  investment  is
likely to slow to only 3% or so during 1996,  making a positive  contribution to
the economy but reducing its overall stimulus.  Nevertheless, here too, there is
a silver lining: With lower demand, we expect capacity utilization to decline to
about 80% by mid-1996.  In the past, such a level of manufacturing  activity has
been  indicative of an economy with low underlying  inflation and, hence, a bias
on the part of the Federal Reserve toward stable to lower interest rates.

FOR THE GOOD OF THE PARTIES

Nevertheless,  consumer  psychology is very  fragile,  and one factor that could
dampen  enthusiasm and economic activity would be the lack of a budget agreement
by the  politicians in  Washington.  Given the  intransigence  of the two sides,
reaching an accord will be very  difficult.  The  assumption we must now make is
that a  satisfactory  compromise  will be reached  simply because it is good for
both political  parties.  Without a compromise,  the odds of economic  recession
increase--which is hardly the environment to be desired in an election year when
voters are openly voicing their dissatisfaction with both parties.

NO CRYSTAL BALL IS PERFECTLY CLEAR

Accurately  predicting  what the financial  markets are likely to do even in the
best of circumstances is extremely difficult.  Nevertheless, it seems that while
the growth of the economy is slowing,  it is still positive and should  continue
to be over the next year.  In fact,  we wouldn't be surprised to see the economy
strengthen as the year progresses.  Nevertheless,  corporate  profits could very
likely be flat over the coming months, and corporate profitability is one of the
key  factors  in  determining  stock  prices.  The  message to the  investor  is
clear--stock selection will be critical to success in 1996.

Historically, when a substantial market gain of 20% or more has been realized in
the third year of a  President's  term,  the market  rose  during the  following
election year, with gains averaging about 11%.  Although past performance is not
necessarily  an  indication  of how the market will  perform in the  future,  we
believe we could see much the same in 1996.  But,  as Yogi Berra once said,  "It
ain't over till its over."

Sincerely,

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PARKSTONE ADVANTAGE FUND                                   DECEMBER 31, 1995


PRIME OBLIGATIONS FUND

Money market  investors faced  difficult  decisions in 1995. The Federal Reserve
cut  short-term  interest  rates in June and  December,  and at year end  market
prices anticipated further cuts.

Given the circumstances, we approached the markets cautiously and lengthened our
maturities throughout the year.

As of December  31,  1995,  the average  maturity of the Fund's  holdings was 56
days.  Approximately  9%  of  the  Fund's  assets  were  invested  in  overnight
securities.


BOND FUND

The year ended December 31, 1995, was a good one for bond investors. In reaction
to the slowing economy and the Federal  Reserve's  actions to reduce  short-term
rates, the markets rallied.  Over the year, interest rates fell across the yield
curve.  And,  after one of the toughest  years on record in 1994, all sectors of
the marketplace posted positive results for 1995.

During  the  year,  corporate  bonds did  particularly  well as  balance  sheets
strengthened and creditworthiness  improved  dramatically across all industries.
Only  mortgage-backed  securities suffered as lower interest rates increased the
possibility  of a new round of mortgage  prepayments.  As a result,  this sector
underperformed slightly.

The longer the  maturity  of the bonds in a fund's  portfolio,  the  greater the
impact the decline in interest rates had on its share price.  As a result,  with
an average maturity of 10.64 years at year's end, the Bond Fund did particularly
well in 1995. The portfolio is largely invested in corporate  Securities,  which
were among the market's best performers  during the year. In addition,  the Fund
was underweighted in mortgage-backed securities and consequently, did not suffer
noticeably as pre-payment jitters rattled the markets. As a result, for the year
ended December 31, 1995, the Fund surpassed industry averages and posted a total
return of 16.98%.

EQUITY FUND

After leading the market's march upward for more than a year,  technology stocks
fell out of favor as 1995 drew to a close.  With a minefield  of  fourth-quarter
earnings  releases  to be crossed,  the market was nervous  about the ability of
technology  companies to sustain the exponential  earnings growth they had shown
over   the  past   year.   In   December,   investors   fled  to   high-quality,
large-capitalization stocks, and technology stocks began to fall. Semi-conductor
stocks  took the  brunt of the  sell-off.  The  value  of our  holdings  in this
industry  and in  technology  stocks  such as LSI Logic,  Motorola  and  Silicon
Graphics,  fell as the market treated even minor earnings  disappointments  very
harshly.  Accordingly,  the  Fund  did  give  back  some of its  performance  in
December, but still returned 29.05% for the year.

On the other hand,  several of our holdings  performed very well during the same
period.  The value of our holdings in PeopleSoft,  Idexx Labs,  Fore Systems and
HealthSouth Rehab posted gains despite the market's shift away from smaller-cap,
aggressive  growth  companies.  Even more  impressively,  Hospitality  Franchise
System posted a gain of more than 60%.

TECH STOCKS--BENT NOT BROKEN

While a cloud now hovers over technology stocks, it is important to keep in mind
that the  fundamentals  of many of these  companies have not changed.  While the
days of explosive  growth may be behind them as the capital  spending boom ends,
demand for their products is still  strong--and very unlikely to dry up and blow
away  anytime in the near  future.  Consequently,  we are  optimistic  about the
long-term  prospects for these companies.  In the months ahead, we would look to
capitalize on buying opportunities that further price declines may create.

While   no   year  in  the   market   is   average,   stocks   have   gained--on
average--approximately  10% a year over the last several decades. Looking ahead,
we see no fundamental  reason why we can't have a "normal" 10% year in the stock
market in 1996.  As always,  stock  selection  will be  absolutely  critical  to
earning a positive return.

As of  December  31,  1995,  the  Fund's  top five  holdings  were:  First  Data
Corporation  (4.23%),   Hospitality  Franchise  Systems,  Inc.  (3.64%),  Oracle
Corporation  (3.26%),  The Gillette Company (2.81%) and CUC International,  Inc.
(2.67%).

                                                                               3

SMALL CAPITALIZATION FUND

After a year of watching  technology  stocks soar upward,  investors decided the
industry  was  going  out  of  business  in  late  December.  Technology  stocks
tumbled--and  soon,  companies  across the board  felt the impact as  investors,
seeking security, fled to blue chips. Nevertheless,  as the dust settled, it was
clear that the small-cap companies,  particularly small-cap technology companies
had taken the hardest  fall as prices  declined  some 30% to 60% in November and
December.

We are  pleased  to report  that the Fund  returned  35.66%  for the year  ended
December 31, 1995. By  comparison,  the Russell 2000 Index was up 21.46% for the
year ended December 31. This outperformance of the industry benchmark was due in
large part to our  financial  and  healthcare  holdings,  and  contributions  by
technology holdings, even with the sell-off late in the year.


TECH STOCKS BACK ON-LINE

Regardless  of  investors'  perceptions,  the  fundamentals  of  the  technology
industry  have not  changed in the last 60 days.  We believe  that many of these
companies  are  very  strong,   and  demand  for  their  products   should  grow
dramatically in the coming years.  Technology companies are simply out of favor,
not out of business.  Healthcare was a very positive  contributor  virtually all
year,  with  companies  such as  Orthodontic  Centers  of America  (+94.3%)  and
Omnicare,  Inc. (+64.8%)  contributing  greatly.  In the insurance and financial
sectors,  Amerin Corporation was up 42.3%, and Aames Financial  Corporation rose
31.2% respectively.  In less identifiable sectors, nice performances were turned
in by Corrections  Corporation of America (+78.2%) and Studio Plus Hotels,  Inc.
with a 37.5% increase.

As of December  31,  1995,  the Fund's top five  holdings  were  Omnicare,  Inc.
(3.75%), Credit Acceptance Corporation (3.55%), Concord EFS, Inc. (3.08%), Micro
Warehouse, Inc. (2.94%) and McAfee Associates, Inc. (2.74%).

INTERNATIONAL DISCOVERY FUND

After several years in the doldrums,  the Japanese stock market rebounded in the
second half of 1995.  European  markets also  achieved  good returns  during the
period,  while  markets  in  emerging  economies  generally  experienced  modest
declines.  With investments in all three regions,  the Fund had positive returns
during the year ended December 31, 1995, but underperformed  its benchmark,  the
EAFE Index.

It is important  to note,  however,  that the EAFE Index is heavily  weighted in
Japanese  securities  and has no  exposure  to Latin  American  markets and many
smaller Asian markets.  Consequently,  the Index is not a true reflection of the
markets in which widely  diversified  international  funds like ours invest.  We
believe that  diversification is the key to solid  performance--and to that end,
the Fund remains  highly  diversified  with 79 holdings in 25 different  markets
around the world.


OVERSEAS OPPORTUNITIES PICK UP

Given the fact that the U.S.  economy is slowing and corporate  profitability is
expected to be relatively flat in the coming months, we see real opportunity for
investors in overseas  markets.  The Japanese economy is expected to continue to
pick up steam and, with this in mind, we have increased our holdings there.

We believe that Continental Europe is also very attractive.  While the economies
there are  sluggish,  stocks are still  attractively  priced  versus  their U.S.
counterparts.  Interest rates are coming down. Even more importantly,  companies
in the  region  are only now  beginning  the  restructuring  process  that  U.S.
companies  began  over  a  decade  ago.  As a  result,  we  expect  to  see  the
profitability  and,  in turn,  the stock  prices of many  European  corporations
increase in the coming year.

As of December 31, 1995,  the Fund's top five holdings were Keyence  Corporation
(2.54%),  Roche  Holding AG (2.38%),  BIC (2.26%),  Hermes  International,  S.A.
(2.26%) and Astra A B (2.20%).

                                                                               5

THE PARKSTONE ADVANTAGE FUND                                   DECEMBER 31, 1995


1.  ORGANIZATION:

   The Parkstone  Advantage Fund (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment
   Company  Act of 1940,  as  amended,  as a  diversified,  open-end  investment
   company.

   The Fund is  authorized  to issue an  unlimited  number of  shares  which are
   shares of beneficial  interest  without par value.  The Fund presently offers
   series of shares of the Prime Obligations Fund, Bond Fund, Equity Fund, Small
   Capitalization Fund, and International Discovery Fund. Sales of shares of the
   Fund  may  only  be made to  separate  accounts  of  various  life  insurance
   companies ("Participating Insurance Companies"). As of December 31, 1995, the
   only  Participating  Insurance  Company is Security  Benefit  Life  Insurance
   Company.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

   The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
   Fund in the  preparation  of its  financial  statements.  The policies are in
   conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

      SECURITIES VALUATION:

      Investments of the Prime  Obligations  Fund are valued at either amortized
      cost, which approximates market value, or at original cost, which combined
      with accrued interest  approximates market value. Under the amortized cost
      method,  discount  or premium  is  amortized  on a  constant  basis to the
      maturity of the security.

      Investments  in common and  preferred  stocks,  corporate  bonds,  foreign
      government bonds and U.S.  Government  securities of the Bond Fund, Equity
      Fund,  Small  Capitalization  Fund,  and  International   Discovery  Fund,
      (collectively,  "the variable net asset value funds"), are valued at their
      closing sales price,  or if there have been no sales on a particular  day,
      the latest bid price.  If no bid price is available,  then the  securities
      are  valued  in  good  faith  using  methods  approved  by  or  under  the
      supervision  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Fund.  Investments  in
      investment  companies are valued at their respective net asset values. The
      differences  between the cost and market values of investments held by the
      variable  net  asset  value  funds  are  reflected  as  either  unrealized
      appreciation or depreciation.

      FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS:

      The  accounting  records of the Fund are maintained in U.S.  dollars.  All
      assets and  liabilities  initially  expressed  in foreign  currencies  are
      translated  into  U.S.  dollar  amounts  at  prevailing   exchange  rates.
      Purchases and sales of investment securities,  dividend income and certain
      expenses  are  translated  at the  rates  of  exchange  prevailing  on the
      respective  dates of such  transactions.  The Fund does not  isolate  that
      portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in the foreign
      exchange rates on investments from the  fluctuations  arising from changes
      in the market prices of securities  held. Such  fluctuations  are included
      with the net  realized and  unrealized  gain or loss on  investments.  Net
      realized  foreign  exchange  gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio
      securities,  sales of foreign currencies, and the difference between asset
      and liability amounts initially stated in foreign  currencies and the U.S.
      dollar  value of the amounts  actually  received or paid.  Net  unrealized
      foreign  exchange  gains or  losses  arise  from  changes  in the value of
      portfolio  securities  and other assets and  liabilities at the end of the
      reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

THE PARKSTONE ADVANTAGE FUND                                   DECEMBER 31, 1995


      FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS

      The  International  Discovery Fund may enter into forward foreign exchange
      contracts in  connection  with foreign  currency risk from the purchase or
      sale of securities  denominated  in foreign  currency.  The  International
      Discovery  Fund may also enter into such  contracts  to manage  changes in
      foreign currency  exchange rates on portfolio  positions.  These contracts
      are marked to market daily,  by  recognizing  the  difference  between the
      contract  exchange rate and the forward market rate as unrealized gains or
      losses. Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled
      and are reported in the statement of operations.  These contracts  involve
      market risk in excess of the amount  reflected in the  Statement of Assets
      and Liabilities.  The face or contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the
      total exposure the  International  Discovery  Fund has in that  particular
      currency  contract.  Losses  may arise due to  changes in the value of the
      foreign  currency  or if the  counterparty  does  not  perform  under  the
      contract.

      SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME:

      Security  transactions  are  accounted  for on the  date the  security  is
      purchased  or sold (trade  date).  Interest  income is  recognized  on the
      accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the pro rata amortization of
      premium or discount.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
      Gains or  losses  realized  on  sales  of  securities  are  determined  by
      comparing the identified  cost of the security lot sold with the net sales
      proceeds.

      REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:

      The Fund may enter into  repurchase  agreements  from member  banks of the
      Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation ("FDIC") with capital,  surplus and
      undivided  profits in excess of $100,000,000 (as of the date of their most
      recently   published    financial    statements)   and   from   registered
      broker/dealers which First of America Investment  Corporation  (Investment
      Advisor for the Fund) deems creditworthy under guidelines  approved by the
      Board of Trustees,  subject to the seller's  agreement to  repurchase  the
      underlying  securities  at a  mutually  agreed-upon  date and  price.  The
      repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest
      negotiated on the basis of current  short-term rates, which may be more or
      less  than the rate on the  underlying  collateral.  The  seller,  under a
      repurchase agreement, is required to maintain the value of collateral held
      pursuant to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including
      accrued interest). Securities subject to repurchase agreements are held by
      the Fund's  custodian  or another  qualified  custodian  or in the Federal
      Reserve/Treasury book-entry system.

      DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:

      For the Prime  Obligations  Fund  (money  market  fund)  dividends  of net
      investment  income are declared  daily and paid monthly and  distributable
      net realized capital gains are declared and distributed at least annually.
      Dividends from net investment  income and  distributable  realized capital
      gains are declared  and paid at least  annually for the variable net asset
      value funds. The character of distributions  made during the year from net
      investment  income or net  realized  gains may differ from their  ultimate
      characterization  for federal income tax purposes.  These  differences are
      primarily  due to the  recharacterization  of foreign  currency  gains and
      losses.

                                                                              17

THE PARKSTONE ADVANTAGE FUND                                   DECEMBER 31, 1995


      INCOME TAXES:

      The Fund intends to comply with the  requirements of the Internal  Revenue
      Code  applicable to regulated  investment  companies and  distributes  its
      taxable net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to
      relieve it from all, or  substantially  all,  federal  income,  excise and
      state income taxes.

      Therefore, no provision for federal or state tax is required.

      OTHER:

      Expenses  that  are  directly  related  to one of the  Funds  are  charged
      directly to that Fund.  Other operating  expenses of the Fund are prorated
      to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets.

      Organization  costs of $10,000 for each fund are being amortized over five
      years.

3.  INVESTMENT RISKS

    The  International  Discovery Fund's  investments in foreign  securities may
    involve risks not present in domestic investments.  Since foreign securities
    are denominated in foreign currency and pay interest or dividends in foreign
    currencies,  changes in the  relationship  of these  currencies  to the U.S.
    dollar can significantly  affect the value of the investments and operations
    of the  Fund.  Foreign  investments  may also  subject  the Fund to  foreign
    government   exchange   restrictions,   expropriation,   taxation  or  other
    political,  social or economic  developments,  all of which could affect the
    market and/or credit risk of the investments.

PERFORMANCE RESULTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PARKSTONE ADVANTAGE FUND                                   DECEMBER 31, 1995


The following charts represent the growth of a $10,000 investment in each of the
Parkstone  Advantage Funds. We have included the growth of an appropriate market
index  for  each of the  Funds,  for your  reference.  Past  performance  is not
predictive of future  performance.  The Bond and International  Discovery Charts
reference a change in each Fund's  benchmark  index.  The Funds' new indices are
the Salomon Brothers Broad and the EAFE respectively.  We believe the securities
in these indices more closely reflect the securities these Funds purchase.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THE CONTRACT OWNERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
THE PARKSTONE ADVANTAGE FUND

We have  audited the  accompanying  statement of assets and  liabilities  of The
Parkstone  Advantage Fund  (comprised of the Prime  Obligations,  Bond,  Equity,
Small  Capitalization  and  International   Discovery  Portfolios)  (the  Fund),
including the schedule of investments,  as of December 31, 1995, and the related
statements of operations  for the year then ended,  statements of changes in net
assets  for each of the two years in the  period  then  ended and the  financial
highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period
from September 23, 1993 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1993. These
financial  statements  and financial  highlights are the  responsibility  of the
Fund's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an  opinion  on  these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance  about  whether the  financial  statements  and  financial
highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  Our  procedures  included  confirmation  of securities  owned as of
December  31, 1995,  by  correspondence  with the  custodian.  As to  securities
relating to uncompleted transactions, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 audits provide a reasonable  basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements and financial  highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial position of each
of the portfolios  comprising The Parkstone Advantage Fund at December 31, 1995,
and the  results  of their  operations,  changes  in their  net  assets  and the
financial  highlights  for  the  periods  indicated  above  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                                                               Ernst & Young LLP
