MESSAGE FROM YOUR INVESTMENT ADVISER
THE PARKSTONE ADVANTAGE FUND
JUNE 30, 1996


Dear Fellow Contractholders:

If there's a lesson to be learned as we approach the second half of 1996,  it is
"don't believe everything you read in the papers." Over the past several months,
none of the negatives  that  affected  growth in 1995,  such as severe  weather,
government  layoffs,  and strikes,  were present.  Housing,  vehicle sales,  and
employment growth all increased.  As a result, when the preliminary  estimate of
economic growth for the second quarter was released in August,  it was a whopper
as  we  expected--4.2%--far   above  the  2.5%  the  Federal  Reserve  considers
non-inflationary.

Just as weak economic growth in the fourth quarter of 1995 prompted the media to
predict an imminent recession earlier in the year, these new statistics are sure
to  produce  a  flurry  of  reports,  articles,  and  analysis  on our  "runaway
economy"--and, of course, how it threatens to accelerate inflation.

THE FAT LADY IS WARMING UP IN THE WINGS . . .

While growth  statistics  are bound to be very  impressive,  we believe that our
economy is not preparing to shift gears and suddenly move into the fast lane. We
expect  growth to drop off in the  second  half of the year,  and,  contrary  to
popular opinion, there is ample reason to believe that this slowdown will not be
entirely due to any action on the part of the Federal Reserve.

We have now caught up with backlogs and other  distortions which have existed in
the economy over the last nine months. Tax refunds have been spent.  Inventories
have been replaced.  Consumers are somewhat  overextended and interest rates are
rising.  In short, we feel that the peak of the economic growth cycle is upon us
now,  and it is very  unlikely  that the current rate of growth can be sustained
much longer.  It is even less likely that we will see higher  levels of activity
in the remainder of the year.

If however we are wrong, and for some unforeseen  reason,  growth remains in the
range of 4%, we would expect to see signs of increasing  inflation--which  would
very  likely  cause the  Federal  Reserve to raise  interest  rates  quickly and
significantly,  thus slowing the economy.  Indeed, while the Federal Reserve did
not raise interest rates at their Open Market  Committee  meeting in early July,
Chairman Greenspan could initiate such a move at or before the next FOMC meeting
scheduled for August 20.

A LITTLE SQUEEZE OR A BIG FREEZE?

Consequently,  it is clear  that--despite  what  you may  read in the  papersour
economy is likely to decelerate rather than accelerate in the second half of the
year. The next question becomes: How much will it slow?

There are a number of factors that can influence immediate growth significantly.
For instance,  if  corporations  continue their  downsizing  efforts to maintain
profit  margins--as  corporate  profit  growth  declines on an overall basis the
results could have a negative  effect on the economy.  Interest rates have risen
in recent months as well.  If the impact of higher rates on the housing  market,
is in fact greater  than we have seen so far,  this could also slow the economy.
Consequently,  it is extremely  difficult to predict how deep a drop-off may be,
or how long it will last.

CORRECTION-CREATED OPPORTUNITIES

What we do know is that  increases  in interest  rates and  declining  corporate
profits  make further  gains in the stock  market  unlikely any time in the near
future.  At best,  over the next several  months,  we would expect to see stocks
trade in a neutral range. At worst,  we may see a market  correction of some 10%
or more.  However,  this worst-case  scenario may be the best-case  scenario for
stock  investors.  We believe that LONG TERM the  prospects  for stocks are very
positive--and a correction would be an exceptional buying opportunity.

The next several  months should create  opportunity in the bond markets as well.
We  expect  interest  rates to  continue  trending  downward  well into the next
century.  While it seems unlikely that long-term  rates would rise to 8% or more
over the next several  months,  if this should  happen,  long-term  fixed-income
investors  may be well  advised to take  advantage of the  situation--as  higher
interest rates mean lower bond prices.

WHEN THE FAT LADY SINGS . . .

Consequently,  while  the  road  just  ahead  may be  somewhat  rocky  for  many
investors,  we encourage our  contractholders to continue to view both the stock
and bond  markets with a long-term  perspective.  We believe the next six months
will prove to be a period of exceptional  opportunity in the financial  markets.
In fact,  when and if the Fat Lady sings,  we plan to stand up, cheer,  and take
full advantage of the situation.

Sincerely,

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
THE PARKSTONE ADVANTAGE FUND
JUNE 30, 1996

PRIME OBLIGATIONS FUND

It was a roller-coaster year in the money markets. Throughout much of the second
half of 1995,  investors  anticipated that interest rates would go lower. Yet as
1996  began,   reports  of   stronger-than-expected   economic   growth  sparked
inflationary  fears,  and rates rose  rapidly.  Throughout  the spring,  as data
continued to  reinforce  the view that the economy was  accelerating,  investors
began  to  expect  the  Federal  Reserve  Board  to  increase  rates  to  dampen
inflationary pressure. If past history is any guide however, the Federal Reserve
is more likely to move more slowly and cautiously than investors expect.

Nevertheless, we would not be surprised to see rates hiked before the end of the
year in an effort to slow the  economy's  growth.  Given  this  expectation,  we
continue to approach the markets very cautiously. Maturities have been pulled in
slightly in an effort to position the Funds to take  advantage of the steepening
yield curve as interest rates move higher.

As of June 30, 1996,  approximately  35% of the Fund's  assets were  invested in
overnight securities, and the Fund's average maturity was 55 days.

BOND FUND

Overall,  the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996,  were  frustrating  ones  for
fixed-income  investors.  As the new year opened,  evidence that the economy was
stronger than anticipated began to appear.  Always just beneath the surface, the
market's  fears of  inflation  emerged,  and  repeatedly  reinforced  reports of
expanding  growth and low  unemployment,  leading the bond markets to decline in
the first half of 1996.

Given the  circumstances,  we approached the markets very cautiously  throughout
the period.  Nevertheless,  we feel our  conservative  approach served investors
well during the period.  Performing as it was intended to do, the Fund weathered
the difficult climate of 1996.

Asset allocation was the key to the Fund's solid  performance in the up-and-down
markets of the period. In the latter half of 1995, the Fund was underweighted in
mortgage-backed  issues,  which  suffered  from a  severe  case  of  "prepayment
jitters" in the low  interest-rate  environment,  and  overweighted in corporate
securities,  which  outperformed as corporate profits  skyrocketed.  Then in the
first  half of 1996,  we moved  quickly  to  increase  the  Fund's  exposure  in
mortgage-backed   securities,  as  rates  rose  and  worries  about  prepayments
disappeared.  Holdings  in U.S.  Treasury  securities,  which  fell out of favor
rapidly,  were decreased.  However,  the negative  environment for  fixed-income
securities in the period had a big impact on the Fund's  performance,  resulting
in a return of -2.10%,  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1996.  This is only
slightly  lower than the Fund's  industry  benchmark the Salomon  Brothers Broad
Index which reported a -1.26% return.

In the months ahead,  we expect to see the  mortgage-backed  sector  continue to
perform well. We believe that corporate  securities remain  fundamentally sound.
Nonetheless, profits are anticipated to drop off in the second half of the year.
While a decline  should be gradual  rather than drastic,  after several years of
stunning  earnings  reports,  the  market may react  dramatically.  As a result,
security  selection will be critical to success in the months ahead, and we will
focus  closely  on the  quality  and  structure  of all  issues  considered  for
investment.

At the period's  end,  approximately,  30% of the Fund's assets were invested in
corporate bonds, 29% in  mortgage-backed  securities,  and 30% in U.S.  Treasury
securities. The average credit quality of the portfolio's holdings was AA.

EQUITY FUND

We are  pleased  to report  that  during  the first  half of the year the Fund's
transition to a "mid-cap"  Fund--one  emphasizing  investment in companies  with
capitalizations between $750 million and $5 billion--was successfully completed.
At the end of the period,  the Fund was more widely diversified with investments
in more  than 70  different  companies.  Moreover,  while  our  holdings  in the
technology  sector  decreased  slightly,  our  investments  in the financial and
consumer  goods  sectors  were  increased.   Consequently,  the  fund  was  well
represented in three of the strongest-performing  areas of the market during the
period.

IT WAS A VERY GOOD YEAR

Despite waves of anxiety that swept through the marketplace on the heels of each
bulletin on interest rates, inflation, and economic growth, the market continued
to reward companies exhibiting strong and predictable  earnings growth.  Focused
on such  companies,  the Fund  benefited  handsomely.  In the consumer  cyclical
sector,  our  holdings in  Hospitality  Franchise  Systems,  Inc. (a real estate
broker and franchiser of hotels),  and Petsmart,  Inc. (the largest  operator of
pet supply stores in the U.S.),  made substantial  contributions to performance.
Among our computer software holdings,  two companies were stand-out  performers:
GT Interactive Software Corporation and McAfee Associates, Inc.

As a result,  the Fund beat its  benchmark  handily for the period.  We are very
pleased to report that for the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Fund posted a
total return of 13.75%  versus a gain of 9.21% in the S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index over
the same period.

BRIGHT LONG-TERM PROSPECTS

While we are  optimistic  about the prospects for the market over the long term,
stock selection will be critical in the months ahead. With this in mind, we will
continue to seek out and invest in those companies with solid balance sheets and
the potential to be industry leaders over the long term.

As of June 30, 1996, the Fund's top five holdings were Hospitality and Franchise
Systems,  Inc.  (4.69%),   Ceridian  Corporation  (2.64%),  Service  Corporation
International (2.56%), Parametric Technology Corporation (2.21%) and HealthSouth
Rehabilitation Corporation (2.36%).

SMALL CAPITALIZATION FUND

Stock  selection was the key to the Fund's superb  performance in the relatively
unsettled market of the past six months.  Despite investor anxiety over economic
growth in the spring,  and  interest-rate  worries  throughout  the period,  the
market  continued  to reward  companies  with strong  fundamentals  and powerful
earnings  potential.  With its focus on such  companies,  the Fund  profited  as
holdings in all sectors contributed  positively to performance.  Some gains were
dramatic.  Corrections  Corporation of America (a prison  management  firm), and
Wackenhut  Corrections  Corporation (a provider of security services),  moved up
greatly.  In  the  computer  software  sector,  McAfee  Associates,   Inc.,  and
Systemsoft  Corporation  advanced  a sizeable  amount  over the  period.  In the
health-care sector, our holdings in Quintiles Transnational Corporation and Dura
Pharmaceuticals also reported enormous gains.

As a result,  we are  extremely  pleased to report that for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, the Fund  generated a total return of 28.96%--far  surpassing its
industry  benchmark,  the Russell  2000 which  advanced  10.39%  during the same
period.

INVESTING WITH STRENGTH IN MIND

In the  months  ahead,  we expect to  continue  our  present  strategy.  We will
continue to seek out and invest in the strongest  small-capitalization companies
across all market sectors.  Because the  fundamentals of the companies we select
are  so  strong,  we  believe  their  prospects  are  solid,  regardless  of the
environment.

Nevertheless,  as we have seen over the past several years,  some market sectors
offer more  opportunity  than  others.  Clearly,  the demand for health care and
technology products is growing  dramatically today and will continue to do so in
the  foreseeable  future.  We would view any  correction  or adjustment in these
sectors as a serious buying opportunity.

As of June 30, 1996, the Fund was broadly  diversified  with holdings in over 80
companies.  The Fund's top five holdings were McAfee  Associates,  Inc. (3.28%),
Omnicare,  Inc. (3.02%),  Concord EFS, Inc. (2.80%), Regal Cinemas, Inc. (2.61%)
and Credit Acceptance Corporation (2.56%).

INTERNATIONAL DISCOVERY FUND

After five years of no growth,  the Japanese  economy began to show strong signs
of life in the first half of 1996.  Moreover,  high-quality growth stocks, which
had been out of favor with  investors  in the second half of 1995,  bounced back
smartly with the new year.  The only fly in the  international  ointment was the
strength of the U.S.  dollar,  which was a drag on  performance  throughout  the
year.  However,  the  environment  improved as interest  rates in Europe  turned
around  and  began to  rise,  making  the  dollar  less  attractive  to  foreign
investors.

As a result,  what began as a  relatively  mixed  period for the Fund ended on a
very  positive  note. We are pleased to report for the six months ended June 30,
1996, the Fund outperformed its industry benchmark,  the MSCI EAFE Index, with a
total return of 10.39%. The MSCI Index advanced only 4.67% during the period.

A POSITIVE OUTLOOK

We believe the  remainder of the year ahead will be a good one in  international
markets as the Japanese  economy  continues to improve and other markets  around
the  world,  particularly  those  in  the  Pacific  region  and  Latin  America,
strengthen and expand.  Continental Europe offers opportunity as well. Companies
there are only now beginning the downsizing  process that started some years ago
in the  U.S.  So even if  economic  growth  grinds  to a halt on the  Continent,
investors may see profit margins grow substantially as European companies become
more  efficient.  Consequently,  we  would  view a  correction  or drop in these
markets as a buying  opportunity since we believe that, long term, the prospects
for international investors are very bright.

POSITIONED FOR GROWTH

As of June 30, 1996, the Fund was widely  diversified,  with over 85 holdings in
30 markets  around  the  world.  Approximately  33% of the  Fund's  assets  were
invested in  Continental  Europe,  25% in Japan,  11% in smaller  Pacific  Basin
markets, 11% in the United Kingdom, 6% in Latin America and 4% in Canada. During
the period,  the Fund also added  securities  from  Israel,  South Korea and the
Philippines to its portfolio.

At the end of the period, the Fund's top five holdings were BIC (France; 2.16%),
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries  Company,  Ltd (Japan;  1.91%),  Oce Van Der Grinten
N.V.  (Netherlands;  1.89%),  Keyence  Corporation  (Japan;  2.05%),  and Takeda
Chemical Industries (Japan; 1.94%).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THE PARKSTONE ADVANTAGE FUND
JUNE 30, 1996
(Unaudited)

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 June 30, 1996, 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.

(Unaudited)

    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.

    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.

4.  PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:

    Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term  securities) for the
    six months ended June 30, 1996, are as follows:
