ECONOMIC REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Signs of a developing economic slowdown began to surface during the second
quarter. However, the length and depth of the slowdown are still open to debate.
In each of the last two years the economy paused in the second quarter, only to
reaccelerate in the last half of the year. It's still too early to tell if this
pattern will be repeated this year, but six interest rate increases by the Fed
in the last twelve months make a strong case for a longer lasting slowdown.
Nevertheless, the question remains: Is the Fed done?

The inflation outlook continues to be mixed. Certainly the trend of inflation
has been moving higher. Gasoline prices have received a lot of recent attention
and energy prices have been driving the consumer price index up. However, price
indices excluding energy costs are still relatively well behaved. Likewise,
commodity prices (excluding energy) and the price of gold are moving sideways,
giving no clear signal about the future trend. Although this inflation news is
better than what might be expected at this stage of the economic cycle, it is
important to remember that inflation is a lagging indicator. As such, the
inflation rate may continue to rise even as the economy cools. Thus, the threat
of rising inflation doesn't immediately go away. Instead, it presents a dilemma
for the Fed and a risk for investors.

Some of the most convincing evidence of a slowdown comes from the labor markets.
Private sector payroll gains slowed in the second quarter. The headline reports
probably overstated the weakness because the unemployment rate remained near its
30-year low while some anecdotal evidence continued to point toward upward wage
pressure from a tight labor market. Yet, a softer trend seems to be developing.
New job creation is the engine that drives consumer confidence, income growth
and spending. Consumer spending is the engine that drives the U.S. economy.
Thus, a softer labor market is consistent with a slower economy. But again the
dilemma: Can the Fed tighten to curb rising inflation if the labor markets look
soft-particularly in a presidential election year? Policy makers will see one
more month's employment data before their August meeting; that report will
likely help some Fed members make their decision.

Monetary policy during the last year has been extremely erratic. The Fed started
raising interest rates in June of last year, but chose to reverse its policy at
year-end in an attempt to forestall potential Y2K liquidity problems. Although
viewed as a temporary-but necessary-action, the amount of additional liquidity
provided by the Fed was overwhelming. By February, the Fed was aggressively
withdrawing the excess liquidity, pushing reserve growth into record negative
territory. These wide swings in policy probably explain the unprecedented market
volatility experienced during the last six months.

Clearly the Fed has increased short-term interest rates during the last year,
and the economy is beginning to feel the impact of this change. Yet, it's just
as clear that monetary policy is not "tight"-at least not in comparison to the
way credit availability was strangled by the Fed at times in the 1980s. The
current policy ambiguity-higher rates but adequate credit availability-is
consistent with the mixed data coming from the economy. The policy is also
consistent with the Fed's attempt to "fine tune" the economy onto a less
inflationary path without causing a recession.

The markets responded favorably in May to signs of a slowing economy. Investors
viewed the data as a strong signal that the Fed might be done raising interest
rates. This shift in sentiment sparked the rally. Yet investor sentiment is
probably ahead of economic reality. The Fed is likely to nudge rates higher at
the August meeting and then hope they have done enough to achieve a soft
landing.

                           PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REVIEW
                             IAI REGIONAL PORTFOLIO


IAI REGIONAL PORTFOLIO

FUND MANAGEMENT
JULIAN P. "BING" CARLIN, CFA


HOW HAS THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMED?

The IAI Regional Portfolio gained 4.54% for the six months ending June 30, 2000.
This compares favorably to the S&P 500's return of (0.42)% for the same period.

CAN YOU POINT TO ANY SPECIFIC MARKET FACTORS THAT INFLUENCED THE PORTFOLIO'S
PERFORMANCE?

The main question on investors' minds seems to be whether or not the Federal
Reserve will be successful in its efforts to cause the economy to have a soft
landing and to avoid a recession. The Fed has raised rates a total of 175 basis
points over the last several quarters, and even though they declined to raise
rates in June, it is uncertain whether they will raise rates at least once more.

The increase in oil prices serves as an additional tax and the ripple effect is
just beginning to be felt. This puts more pressure on the soft landing theory.
Finally, the trade deficit (currently at an annual run rate of $350 billion)
will put pressure on the US dollar against the Yen and Euro.

WHICH HOLDINGS WERE PARTICULARLY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE PORTFOLIO? WERE THERE ANY
DISAPPOINTMENTS?

The Portfolio's performance was helped by our stock selection in the technology
and financial sectors as our stocks outperformed those in the index. Within
technology, we believe companies participating in fiber optics will continue to
see robust growth as reflected by strong performance from ADC Telecommunications
and Corning Inc. Reliastar was our best performing name in financials as the
stock appreciated significantly on an announcement that they would be acquired
by Amsterdam-based ING. Pushing the Portfolio's return down were stocks within
the capital goods, communications services, and consumer cyclical sectors.

WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES?

We entered the second quarter of 2000 with under-weight positions in both the
technology and financial sectors due to our concerns over valuation (in
technology) and rising interest rates. This defensive posture benefited the
Portfolio as technology stocks within the S&P 500 lost 9% as a group and
financials posted almost a 3% decline for the quarter.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE PORTFOLIO?

Another volatile quarter in the markets has caused the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and
NASDAQ to all be in negative territory for the first six months of this year.
While many companies continue to exceed earnings expectations, others disappoint
Wall Street and their stock prices are immediately affected. This environment of
punishing even minor disappointments is expected to continue.

With technology changing the way we live, we are in an exciting yet challenging
period. We continue to emphasize good stock selection with diversified positions
across all S&P sectors as well as a modest amount of cash.

IAI BALANCED PORTFOLIO

FUND MANAGEMENT
LARRY R. HILL, CFA
JEFF MALET, CFA


HOW HAS THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMED?

The IAI Balanced Portfolio increased 2.06% for the six month period ending June
30, 2000. This compares to a return of (0.42%) for the S & P 500 stock index and
4.18% for the Lehman Government/CorporateBond Index.

CAN YOU POINT TO ANY SPECIFIC MARKET FACTORS THAT INFLUENCED THE PORTFOLIO'S
PERFORMANCE?

The stock market went on a roller coaster ride in the first six months of the
year. Strong gains in the first quarter were erased by a dramatic sell-off in
April and May. Although June was a winning month for stocks, the gains were not
enough to offset the April-May period. The bond market followed a more stable
path, ending the period with a return slightly above the average coupon yield in
the market. The Portfolio's balanced use of both bonds and stocks helped to
produce positive results during the period.

WHICH HOLDINGS WERE PARTICULARLY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE PORTFOLIO? WERE THERE ANY
DISAPPOINTMENTS?

Consumer cyclical stocks were the largest detractors from fund performance, as
Gap, Lowe and Target lagged their peers. Technology is the largest sector
weighting in the Portfolio, and negative performance in this sector also
detracted from performance. Consumer staples and healthcare companies, including
Cardinal Health, PepsiCo, Clear Channel Communications and Pfizer posted strong
gains and boosted Portfolio performance. In the bond portfolio, the Portfolio
avoided corporate bonds, which generally lagged the Treasury market. The
Portfolio's weighting in long Treasury bonds boosted results, as this sector of
the bond market far outperformed all other sectors in the last six months.

WERE THEIR ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES?

The Portfolio established new positions in Comcast Corp, Eli Lilly and Applied
materials, eliminating positions in Weyerhaeuser, Electronic Arts and Citrix
Systems. In the bond portfolio, the Portfolio boosted its weighting in both long
Treasury issues and cash reserves. This better positioned the portfolio for an
inverted yield curve. The Portfolio benefited from these shifts.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE PORTFOLIO?

Fed policy has been restrictive for the last year, and this is having its
desired effect of slowing economic growth to a more sustainable pace. The
downshift in the economy should allow the Fed to delay further rate moves in the
coming months. A slowing economy with the Fed on hold is already built into
stock and bond prices, so we don't expect to see a major change in market
direction. The presidential election adds a further reason for the market to
remain in a broad range. We will continue to manage a well diversified portfolio
of companies, emphasizing technology and selected healthcare stocks, areas we
feel will be promising in the months ahead. In bonds, we will continue to
emphasize Treasury and Agency issues along with a relatively neutral portfolio
duration. No change is expected in the current stock/bond mix.

                             IAI RESERVE PORTFOLIO


IAI RESERVE PORTFOLIO

FUND MANAGEMENT
LARRY R. HILL, CFA


HOW HAS THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMED?

The IAI Retirement Reserve Portfolio earned a return of 3.22% in the six month
period ending June 30, 2000. This compares to a return of 2.98% for the Salomon
Brothers One Year Treasury Bill Index for the same period.

CAN YOU POINT TO ANY SPECIFIC MARKET FACTORS THAT INFLUENCED THE PORTFOLIO'S
PERFORMANCE?

The Federal Reserve raised short term interest rates on three separate occasions
in the first six months of 2000. As a result, short term yields, as measured by
three month Treasury rates, rose. The Fund's shorter maturity helped protect the
value of the principal and allowed the Fund to reinvest its cash flows at higher
yields.

In addition to higher short term rates, corporate bond credit spreads widened
during the period, causing corporate bonds to under perform comparable Treasury
issues. The Fund does not own any corporate bonds and was able to avoid this
under-performance.

WERE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE PORTFOLIO?

There were no significant changes in investment strategy during the six months
period ending June 30, 2000. The Fund is invested in short maturity Treasury and
Federal Agency securities along with a healthy level of cash reserves. This
relatively conservative posture is generally successful during periods of Fed
tightening, such as the first six months of the year.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE PORTFOLIO?

U.S. economic growth showed signs of moderating in the second quarter,
particularly in the housing market which has softened in response to the Fed's
year-long campaign to raise interest rates. In a perfect world, the economy
would glide to a soft landing, inflationary pressures would subside and the Fed
would be done tightening. The bond market is priced for perfection, but a lot
can go wrong with this scenario. Thus, there seems to be little upside over the
next several months. Most likely, the market will remain in a range around
current levels. The Portfolio is well positioned for this market environment and
no major changes are anticipated.

                            IAI RETIREMENT FUNDS INC.

                                  JUNE 30, 2000
                                   (UNAUDITED)

[1] SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

IAI Retirement Funds, Inc. is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (as amended) as a diversified, open-end management investment company. IAI
Regional Portfolio (Regional Portfolio), IAI Balanced Portfolio (Balanced
Portfolio) and IAI Reserve Portfolio (Reserve Portfolio) are separate portfolios
of IAI Retirement Funds, Inc. Portfolio shares are not offered directly to the
public, but sold only to selected insurance companies' separate accounts in
connection with variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts.
The Regional Portfolio has a primary objective of long-term appreciation through
investments in equity securities. The Balanced Portfolio has a primary objective
of maximum total return through investment in stocks, bonds and short-term
instruments. The Reserve Portfolio has a primary objective of providing a high
level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital and
liquidity. This report covers only the Regional Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio
and Reserve Portfolio (the Portfolios).

Significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios are summarized below:

SECURITY VALUATION
Portfolio securities are valued at the close of the New York Stock Exchange on
each trading day. Listed and unlisted securities for which such information is
regularly reported are valued at the last sale price of the day or, in the
absence of sales, at values based on the closing bid or the last sale price on
the prior trading day. Long-term and short-term "non-money market" debt
securities are valued by a portfolio pricing service. Securities which cannot be
valued by the portfolio pricing service are valued using dealer-supplied
valuations, or are valued under consistently applied procedures established by
the Board of Directors to determine fair value in good faith. Short-term "money
market type" debt securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at
acquisition are valued at cost adjusted for amortization to maturity of any
premium or discount.

FEDERAL TAXES
Since it is each Portfolio's policy to comply with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all taxable income to shareholders, no provision for income taxes is
required.

Net investment income and net realized gains may differ for financial statement
and tax purposes primarily because of the deferral of "wash sale" losses for tax
purposes. The character of distributions made during the year for net investment
income or net realized gains may also differ from its ultimate characterization
for tax purposes.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
The Portfolios record security transactions on trade date, the date the
securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Interest income, including level yield amortization of discount, is
accrued daily. Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of
identified cost, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-date. Distributions from
net investment income are made annually for Regional Portfolio and Balanced
Portfolio and monthly for Reserve Portfolio. Capital gains, if any, are
primarily distributed in June. Additional capital gains distributions as needed
to comply with federal tax regulations are distributed during the year.

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 in the financial statements. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

[2] COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regional Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio and Reserve Portfolio, together with
other Funds advised by Advisers, have an available joint line of credit of
$25,000,000 with Firstar Bank, N.A at the prime interest rate less 2%. To the
extent funds are drawn against the line, securities are segregated by the
Portfolios. No compensating balances are required under the line of credit,
however, a commitment fee of .10% per annum on the commitment amount of the line
is payable quarterly in arrears. Advisers has agreed to pay the commitment fee
on behalf of the Portfolios. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the
Portfolios did not access the line of credit.

[3] FEES AND EXPENSES

Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement, Regional Portfolio,
Balanced Portfolio and Reserve Portfolio pay Investment Advisers, Inc.
(Advisers) an advisory fee based upon average daily net assets equal, on an
annual basis, to .65%, .65% and .45%, respectively.

Each Portfolio also pays an annual fee to Advisers for acting as the Portfolios'
dividend-disbursing, administrative, and accounting services agent. The fee is
based on an annual rate of .10% of average daily net assets for each Portfolio.

In addition to the advisory fees, the Portfolios are responsible for paying
their operating expenses, including costs incurred in the purchase and sale of
assets.
