                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          JUNE 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED)

================================================================================

NOTE 1 -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The ONE(R) GROUP(SM) Investment Trust (the "Trust") was organized as a
Massachusetts Business Trust on June 7, 1993. The Trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company. The
Trust comprises four portfolios: the Government Bond Fund, the Asset Allocation
Fund, the Growth Opportunities (formerly the Small Company Growth) Fund, and the
Large Company Growth Fund (the "Funds"). The shares of the Funds are sold only
to Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (formerly Financial Horizons
Life Insurance Company), an affiliate of Nationwide Insurance Company, to fund
the benefits of the ONE(R) GROUP(SM) Variable Annuity.

Effective May 1, 1996, the Small Company Growth Fund changed its name to the
Growth Opportunities Fund.

Banc One Investment  Advisors  Corporation  ("Banc One") serves as Investment 
Advisor to the Trust.  Nationwide  Financial Services,  Inc. ("NFS") serves as
Administrator to the Trust.  Nationwide Investors Services, Inc. ("NIS"), an
affiliate of NFS, serves as the Transfer Agent to the Trust. For its services,
NIS receives an annual fee of $2,500 for each fund.

Prior to August 1, 1994 (date of initial public offering), the Funds had no
operations other than the sale to Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company
of shares of the Funds, as follows:

</TABLE>

Investment operations commenced on August 23, 1994 for the Government Bond and
the Large Company Growth Funds, September 29, 1994 for the Asset Allocation Fund
and November 3, 1994 for the Growth Opportunities Fund.

Organization costs incurred in connection with the organization and initial
registration of the Trust were paid by the Administrator and have been
reimbursed by the Funds. Such organization costs have been deferred and will be
amortized ratably over a period of sixty months from the commencement of
operations. If any of the initial shares are redeemed before the end of the
amortization period, the proceeds of the redemption will be reduced by the pro
rata share of the unamortized organization costs.

SECURITY VALUATION

a)   Securities traded on a national securities exchange (including financial
     futures) are valued at the last sales price. Listed securities for which no
     sale was reported on the valuation date are valued at quoted bid prices or
     fair market, in accordance with procedures authorized by the Board of
     Trustees. Short-term notes and bank certificates of deposit are valued at
     amortized cost, which approximates market.

b)   It is the policy of the Funds to require the custodian bank or an approved
     sub-custodian to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal
     Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian
     bank's vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement
     transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Trust
     to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each of the repurchase
     agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of the collateral at least
     equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement
     transaction.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX

The Trust's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all
of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax
provision is required. Each Fund of the Trust is treated as a separate taxable
entity.

NOTE 1 CONTINUED

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME

Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date; interest income is recorded on an accrual
basis and includes, where applicable, the pro rata amortization of premium or
accretion of discount.

DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The funds declare and pay income
dividends quarterly. Distributable net realized capital gains are declared and
distributed at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are
considered either permanent or temporary in nature. To the extent that these
differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the
capital accounts based on their nature for Federal income tax purposes;
temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and
distributions that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for
financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes are reported as dividends
in excess of net investment income and net realized gains. To the extent
distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for Federal
income tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.

EXPENSES

Direct expenses of a Fund are allocated to that Fund. The general expenses of
the Trust are allocated to the Funds based on the relative net assets of the
Funds at the time the expense is incurred.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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.

NOTE 2 -  AGREEMENTS

As Investment Advisor, Banc One manages the investments of each Fund of the
Trust and earns a fee from the Funds at the following annual rates: .45% of the
average daily net assets of the Government Bond Fund, .70% of the average daily
net assets of the Asset Allocation Fund, .65% of the average daily net assets of
the Growth Opportunities Fund, and .65% of the averge daily net assets of the
Large Company Growth Fund. Such fees are calculated daily and paid monthly.

NFS provides administrative and accounting services to the Funds. For its
services, NFS earns a fee from the Trust at an annual rate of .24% of the
Trust's aggregate average daily net assets up to $250 million, .19% of such net
assets in excess of $250 million but less that $500 million, .16% of such net
assets in excess of $500 million but less than $1 billion, and .14% of such net
assets in excess of $1 billion.

The Investment Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive all or part of its fees
and reimburse expenses in order to limit the Funds' operating expenses to no
more than .75% of the average daily net assets of the Government Bond Fund,
1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Asset Allocation Fund, 1.10% of the
average daily net assets of the Growth Opportunities Fund and 1.00% of the 
average daily net assets of the Large Company Growth Fund. Prior to May 1,
1996, the Growth Opportunities and Large Company Growth Funds' expense limits
were both .90%. During the period ended June 30, 1996, the Investment Advisor
voluntarily waived fees and reimbursed expenses in the amount of $17,292 in the
Government Bond Fund, $16,207 in the Asset Allocation Fund, $23,266 in the
Growth Opportunities Fund and $26,187 in the Large Company Growth Fund,
representing $.016, $.024, $.028 and $.014 per share, respectively.

The Asset Allocation and Growth Opportunities Funds are engaged in trading
financial futures contracts. The funds are exposed to market risks in excess of
the amounts recognized in the statement of assets and liabilities as a result of
changes in the value of the underlying financial instruments. Investments in
financial futures require the funds to "mark to market" such futures on a daily
basis, to reflect the change in the market value of the contract at the close of
each day's trading. Typically, variation margin payments are made or received to
reflect daily unrealized gains or losses. When the contracts are closed, the
fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Realized gains and losses have been
computed on the first-in, first-out basis.

A stock index futures contract is a bilateral agreement pursuant to which two
parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to a specified
dollar amount times the difference between the stock index value at the close of
trading of the contracts and the price at which the futures contract was
originally struck. The Funds' purpose in entering into futures contracts is to
remain fully invested and reduce transaction costs.
