PERFORMANCE AND PORTFOLIO REVIEW BY FUND

PROTECTIVE CORE U.S. EQUITY FUND
MANAGED BY GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET MANAGEMENT

PERFORMANCE REVIEW--Over the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the Fund
generated a 18.23% cumulative total return,(1) outperforming the 17.71%
cumulative total return of its benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (with
dividends reinvested) by 52 basis points. Throughout the fiscal period,
successful stock selection helped the Fund's returns as the quantitative model
emphasized stocks with characteristics that fared well in the macroeconomic
environment. Early on, of the three investment themes considered by our
model--Value, Momentum and Low Risk--the Fund favored Value and Low Risk, given
increased market volatility, low equity risk premiums and a slowing economy.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS--The CORE investment process analyzes each stock's value,
momentum and risk characteristics. As mentioned previously, above-average
emphasis was placed on the Value and Low Risk themes throughout the period under
review, while the Momentum theme was underweighted.

- -    In general, the position on Value and Momentum, combined with the
     qualitative stock insights provided by the Goldman Sachs Global Investment
     Research Department, produced positive performance results.

- -    The Low Risk theme generated slightly mixed results, as some relatively
     volatile stocks turned in better-than-expected performance.

OUTLOOK-- The model uses a dynamic weighting scheme that translates current
economic conditions into tangible data that identifies which factors should be
emphasized or avoided. The current market is characterized by a strong but
slowing economy, a low dividend yield, a flat yield curve, below-average equity
risk and market default premia, and high market volatility. Therefore, we are
placing a higher-than-average weight on value and fundamental research factors
(such as quality of management) and less emphasis on growth and momentum.

PROTECTIVE GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
MANAGED BY GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET MANAGEMENT

PERFORMANCE REVIEW--Over the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, the Fund
generated a 7.87% cumulative total return.(1)  Over the same time period, the
Fund's benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (with dividends reinvested),
generated a cumulative total return of 17.71%.

The primary reasons for the Fund's underperformance versus the benchmark were
our mid-cap bias and value discipline in an environment of mega-cap, growth
companies leading the performance of the S&P 500.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS

- -    UNICOM AND NORTHEAST UTILITIES -- These two utility holdings appreciated
     significantly over the period. These stocks had previously suffered from
     company-specific problems which, in our view, were over-discounted in the
     marketplace. Given that the resolutions to these problems are within sight,
     the market has rewarded the companies with substantially higher valuations.

- -    CHASE MANHATTAN BANK -- Chase has been a top performer throughout the
     period, up more than 35% as of June 30, 1998. The stock's strong
     performance has been driven not only by industry-wide appreciation, but
     also by Chase's announcements of a new capital allocation structure and
     cost management program.

- -    UNION CARBIDE -- Union Carbide, a commodity chemical company, recovered
     from early-June lows over rumors that it was an acquisition target.
     Furthermore, as we approach trough profit margins the outlook for the
     company seems less bleak than previously expected.  (This investment
     illustrates well our goals as value investors. We seek companies which, due
     to near-term uncertainty or cyclically out of favor status, trade at a
     substantial discount to their long-term earning potential.)

OUTLOOK--Although the Fund's short-term performance has trailed the market, we
believe that our rigorous research has the potential to produce strong long-term
appreciation.  Most importantly, when the current excesses are wrung from the
system, we believe that our research discipline has the potential to dampen
volatility and preserve capital.

PROTECTIVE CAPITAL GROWTH FUND
MANAGED BY GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET MANAGEMENT

PERFORMANCE REVIEW -- Over the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, the Fund
generated a 21.64% cumulative total return.(1) Over the same time period, the
Fund's benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (with dividends reinvested),
generated a cumulative total return of 17.71%.  Fund performance is attributable
primarily to specific stock selection.

PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION -- In recent months, investors have been attempting to
distinguish, from the rest of the marketplace,  businesses that can sustain
growth in the face of Asia's crisis. As the market has assigned a premium to
consistency and sustainability of above-average earnings growth, we have reaped
some of the benefits of our long-term outlook and focus on enduring competitive
advantage.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS

- -    TELE-COMMUNICATIONS INC. -- The June 23, 1998 announcement of the
     acquisition of TCI by AT&T was a watershed event. The transaction was a
     reaffirmation of our long-standing belief in the strategic competitive
     advantage held by cable television operators through their broadband
     network.

- -    LIBERTY MEDIA GROUP -- Liberty (now known as Tele-Communications Inc.
     Liberty Media Unit) may be the greatest beneficiary of the proposed
     AT&T/TCI transaction. Prior to the AT&T/TCI deal, Liberty will merge with
     its sister company, TCI Ventures, in a no-premium share swap. This merger
     will consolidate all non-cable assets of the TCI family of companies. We
     believe this transaction greatly enhances Liberty's already attractive
     future.

- -    HOME DEPOT -- Home Depot, currently our second largest retail holding, is a
     prime customer provider. A combination of a knowledgeable staff with
     product expertise and low costs to the customer has placed Home Depot at
     the forefront of its business niche.

OUTLOOK -- The outlook for the economy and the stock market appears favorable,
with expectations of low inflation, stable interest rates and modest economic
growth.  In this environment, we will continue to seek companies that are
strategically poised for long-term growth.  In the near term, given high levels
of global volatility, we believe that the portfolio will benefit from the
ownership of high quality companies with stable earnings growth and enduring
competitive advantage.

PROTECTIVE SMALL CAP VALUE FUND
MANAGED BY GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET MANAGEMENT

Over the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, the Fund generated a 9.26%
cumulative total return,(1) compared with a 4.66% (without dividends reinvested)
return for the Russell 2000 Index, which tracks the stock price performance of
small cap companies. Fund performance is attributable to specific stock
selection and consolidation activity that occurred during the period under
review.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS

- -    BROOKSTONE -- Brookstone produced solid results in its traditional, airport
     and resort stores over the period, increasing investor confidence in the
     company's long-term earning prospects.

- -    QUEST DIAGNOSTICS, INC. -- Spun-off from Corning in 1996, Quest is one of
     the top three clinical laboratories in the U.S. During the last half of the
     period, the company's stock appreciated over 30% as a result of its
     announcement of a strategic alliance with Premier, Inc.  The move is
     intended to provide substantial revenues and earnings benefit to Quest.

- -    TRIGON HEALTHCARE -- Virginia's largest managed care organization, Trigon
     reported strong membership growth and margin improvement. The resulting
     price appreciation, up 50% for the three month period ended June 30,
     allowed us an opportunity to trim the position.

OUTLOOK -- Our search for undiscovered and misunderstood companies continues to
generate additional investment opportunities in a variety of industries.
Investors' continued focus on easily traded, brand-name companies amid
uncertainty over the effect of the Asian crisis leaves many stocks behind for
patient, value-oriented investors. Small capitalization stocks as a group remain
undervalued relative to large cap stocks and to their own earnings and cash flow
potential. We are optimistic about future performance based on the strong
earnings growth and free cash flow we expect from many of our top holdings and
the new investment opportunities we continue to find.

PROTECTIVE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
MANAGED BY GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET MANAGEMENT INTERNATIONAL

PERFORMANCE REVIEW -- Over the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, the Fund
generated a 19.75% cumulative total return.(1) Over the same time period, the
Fund's benchmark, the FT/S&P-Actuaries Europe & Pacific ("Europac") Index
unhedged, generated a cumulative total return of 14.94%. The Fund's strong
performance versus the benchmark during the fiscal period can be attributed
primarily to successful stock selection across regions, as well the Fund's
overweight position in Europe.

REGIONAL ALLOCATIONS -- During the period under review, the Fund maintained an
overweight position in Europe versus the benchmark. The presence of trends and
events--including good economic growth--contributed to a strong market in this
region. Conversely, the Fund was underweight in Asia and Japan. In the Asian
region, we chose to concentrate the Fund's holdings in Australia and New
Zealand, which remain more resilient to ongoing economic problems in other
countries within the region.  In Japan, an unfavorable earnings outlook prompted
us to maintain an underweight position throughout the period.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS

- -    SECURITAS (Sweden) -- Securitas, a pan-European security services company,
     has demonstrated strong cash generation and earnings growth due to good
     underlying structural demand for increasingly sophisticated, higher
     value-added security services. Moreover, the company has the advantage of
     operating in a highly fragmented marketplace, providing significant
     reinvestment opportunities through acquisition.

- -    SMC (Japan) -- SMC's management has implemented a strategy that is focused
     on expanding its global sales network, a move that has already contributed
     to the company's rising market share in the business of manufacturing
     pneumatic control devices.

- -    NINTENDO (Japan) -- Nintendo, one of the largest video game manufacturers
     in the industry, has the potential to demonstrate strong earnings growth
     over the next few years as new games software for the company's Nintendo-64
     platform is introduced.

- -    YAMANOUCHI PHARMACEUTICAL (Japan) -- Management at Yamanouchi, the
     developer of the anti-ulcer drug famotidine, has grown more focused on
     improving the company's returns on capital. Further adding to the
     attractiveness of the company is the fact that Yamanouchi is currently in
     the process of developing several new drugs with global potential.

MARKET OUTLOOK

- -    EUROPE -- We remain most positive on Europe. Europe's economic prospects
     are strong, and ongoing restructuring among European businesses is
     generating strong corporate earnings. Moreover, we believe that there will
     be a considerable amount of merger and acquisition activity, both pre- and
     post-monetary union, as European businesses seek critical mass in a single
     European market.  Finally, the laws of supply and demand should also work
     in European stocks' favor. Presently, national pension systems in Europe
     are underfunded, and governments are increasingly encouraging individuals
     to invest privately in mutual funds for retirement--in effect, creating an
     "equity culture." At the same time, equity supply in Europe is tightening
     as more and more European companies are participating in share buyback
     programs. These two factors combined should further bode well for European
     equity market performance.

- -    JAPAN -- In Japan, corporate earnings for the fiscal year ended March 1998
     came in somewhat lower than previously anticipated. This was primarily due
     to a rapid slowdown in the domestic economy and the deterioration in Asian
     economies during the second half of the year. Although the earnings outlook
     does not look promising for the first half of this year we  expect profit
     levels to edge up in the second half, especially for electronics-related
     companies against the backdrop of expected recovery in the personal
     computer  market during the latter part of the year. We are less sanguine
     about domestic demand related stocks, for we believe strong recovery in the
     domestic market is not yet in the offing.  Therefore, we will limit the
     portfolio's

     exposure to domestic stocks that possess attractive valuations.  It is
     worth noting that a growing number of the Japanese companies have announced
     their intentions to change their Articles of Incorporation to buy back
     shares. We believe it is a positive sign that a growing number of Japanese
     companies have gradually become conscious of the advancement of
     shareholders' value, which should be supportive of the equity market in the
     long run.

- -    ASIA -- In the near-term, we intend to keep a close eye on markets in Asia.
     Although it is expected that the pace of bankruptcy and balance sheet
     restructuring will increase--which is positive for the region over the long
     term--a weakening yen is a near-term negative for the region's currencies
     and markets. Therefore, we intend to maintain a defensive investment
     stance. To this end, we will continue to focus on companies with strong
     balance sheets and dominant business franchises.

PROTECTIVE GLOBAL INCOME FUND
MANAGED BY GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET MANAGEMENT INTERNATIONAL

PERFORMANCE REVIEW -- Over the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, the Fund
generated a 4.39% cumulative total return.(1) Over the same time period, the
Fund's benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Global Government Bond Index (hedged into U.S.
dollars), generated a cumulative total return of 5.02%.  Fund performance versus
its benchmark is attributable in part to the Fund's overweight position in UK
gilts versus German bonds. UK gilts underperformed as stronger than expected
average hourly earnings figures raised concerns of increasing inflationary
pressures. Additionally, the Fund's underweight position in Japanese yen
detracted from performance, as intervention in the currency markets helped push
the yen higher against both the U.S. dollar and the German deutschemark.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS

- -    JAPANESE BONDS -- The Fund held a broad range of yen-denominated bonds
     throughout the period. Despite yields reaching new all-time lows, Japan
     faces enormous economic structural changes. We believe these changes, as
     well as the recent installation of Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi, will
     continue to place downward pressure on an already severely depressed
     economy. In turn, this could lead to further deflationary pressures that
     may force the Bank of Japan to maintain an accommodative monetary policy
     stance for the foreseeable future. In view of this, we intend to maintain
     our underweight position in Japanese bonds.

- -    GERMAN 10-YEAR MATURITIES--In the German market, we chose to invest
     primarily in 10-year maturities, as the relatively steep yield curve
     offered favorable running yields (the difference between short rates and,
     in this case, 10-year rates).  This opportunity presented itself because
     the slope of the curve reflected a 75-basis point rate increase discounted
     by the market in anticipation of the introduction of the Euro on January 1,
     1999.

- -    EUROPEAN SPREAD PRODUCTS -- The team purchased European spread products
     (non-government bonds issued by government-backed entities) during the
     period, focusing on those that it believes will have broad-based appeal as
     European countries are united under EMU. The elimination of different
     currencies will put an end to exchange rate risk, and should encourage
     investors to look beyond national boundaries to investments in other
     countries. Among the issuers that should benefit are the heavily
     government-owned utility companies, as well as banks that provide export
     financing.

OUTLOOK -- The U.S economy remains firm with a strong consumer sector. Data on
inventories and employment indicates some weaker numbers coming through. In this
environment, we believe the Fed will remain on hold (a view we feel was
reinforced by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's July Humphrey Hawkins
testimony). We intend to maintain an overweight position in Europe, as we view
these markets positively. Inflationary pressures are less obvious than those in
the U.S., most notably in the labor market, and therefore, interest rates are
likely to remain on hold. Finally, as mentioned previously (see "Portfolio
Highlights"), we intend to maintain an underweight position in Japan.

PROTECTIVE MONEY MARKET FUND(2)
MANAGED BY GOLDMAN SACHS ASSET MANAGEMENT

PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND COMPOSITION -- As of June 30, 1998, the 7-day current
yield of the Protective Money Market Fund was 4.90%.  We expect to maintain a
weighted average maturity in a range between 15 to 30 days in order to best meet
the objectives of the Fund.

OUTLOOK -- We continue to see a tug-of-war between the Asian crisis and the
strong domestic economy.  One of the most noteworthy indications of this
continued drag from Asia is the fact that the Fed left rates unchanged in the
July 1st Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, a move that came as a
surprise to virtually no one.

The strength of the U.S. economy contrasted with the Asian crisis is also
visible in the variance between the 29-year high reached in consumer confidence,
versus the relatively low National Purchasing Manager's Index (NAPM), which came
in below 50%.  Consumer confidence illustrates the perceived strength of the
U.S. economy by the American public, while the NAPM number indicates the impact
of the economic drag of Asia in the U.S.

*OPINIONS EXPRESSED REPRESENT OUR PRESENT OPINIONS ONLY.  REFERENCE TO
INDIVIDUAL SECURITIES IN THIS REPORT SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT
THAT SUCH SECURITIES WILL BE RETAINED IN THE FUND.  FROM TIME TO TIME THE FUND
MAY CHANGE THE INDIVIDUAL SECURITIES IT HOLDS, THE NUMBER OR TYPES OF SECURITIES
HELD AND THE MARKETS IN WHICH IT INVESTS.  REFERENCES TO INDIVIDUAL SECURITIES
DO NOT CONSTITUTE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE INVESTOR TO BUY, HOLD OR SELL SUCH
SECURITIES.  IN ADDITION, REFERENCE TO PAST PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND DO NOT
INDICATE FUTURE RETURNS, WHICH ARE NOT GUARANTEED AND WILL VARY.  FURTHERMORE,
THE VALUE OF SHARES OF THE FUND MAY FALL AS WELL AS RISE.


(1) Fund results represent past performance and do not indicate future results.
Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of shares at net asset value per
share on the first day of the fiscal period and a sale at net asset value per
share on the last day of each period reported. Distributions are assumed, for
purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at the net asset value per share
on the respective payment dates of each Fund. The value of an investment and the
return on an investment will fluctuate, and redemption proceeds may be higher or
lower than an investor's original cost.

Further, all performance data is historical and includes changes in share price
and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.  Performance numbers are net of
all Fund operating expenses but do not include any insurance charges imposed in
connection with your variable insurance or annuity contract.  If the performance
information included the effect of these charges, performance numbers would be
lower.

(2) The Fund's units are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government.  The
Fund is managed to maintain a constant Net Asset Value of $1.00 per unit, but
there can be no assurance that this will be maintained.

                              JUNE 30, 1998 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION
Protective Investment Company (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
Maryland on September 2, 1993 as an open-end management investment company.  The
Company offers seven separately managed pools of assets which have differing
investment objectives and policies.  The Company currently issues shares in
seven funds: Global Income Fund, International Equity Fund, Capital Growth Fund,
Growth and Income Fund, CORE U.S. Equity Fund (formerly the Select Equity Fund),
Small Cap Value Fund (formerly the Small Cap Equity Fund) and Money Market Fund
(individually a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds").  The Company had no
operations prior to March 2, 1994, other than those relating to organizational
matters.  The initial capital contribution of $60,000, $10,000 per class,
resulting in 1,000 shares being issued by the Global Income Fund, International
Equity Fund, Growth and Income Fund, CORE U.S. Equity Fund and Small Cap Value
Fund and 10,000 shares being issued by the Money Market Fund, was provided on
March 2, 1994 by Protective Life Insurance Company.  The Company commenced
investment operations on March 14, 1994.  On June 13, 1995 the Capital Growth
Fund commenced investment operations by issuing 100,000 shares of stock to
Protective Life Insurance Company ("Protective Life") in exchange for an initial
contribution of $1,000,000.  Effective May 1, 1997, the name of the Select
Equity Fund was changed to the CORE U.S. Equity Fund. Effective May 1, 1998, the
name of the Small Cap Equity Fund was changed to the Small Cap Value Fund.

The Company offers each class of its stock to separate accounts of Protective
Life and American Foundation Life Insurance Company as funding vehicles for
certain variable annuity and variable life contracts issued by Protective Life
and American Foundation Life through separate accounts.

NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS - The Company's portfolio securities traded on a
national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price, or, if no sale
occurs, at the mean between the closing bid and closing asked prices.  Portfolio
securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the last sale price, or, if no
sale occurs, at the mean between the last bid and asked prices.  Debt securities
with a remaining maturity of 61 days or more are valued on the basis of
dealer-supplied quotations or by a pricing service selected by Goldman Sachs
Asset Management, investment adviser to the Company, and approved by the board
of directors of the Company.  Short-term securities and debt securities with a
remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at their amortized cost which
approximates market value.  Options and futures contracts are valued at the last
sale price on the market where any such options or futures contracts are
principally traded.  Options traded over-the-counter are valued based upon
prices provided by market makers in such securities or dealers in such
currencies.  Securities for which current market quotations are unavailable or
for which quotations are not deemed by the investment adviser to be
representative of market values are valued at fair value as determined in good
faith pursuant to procedures established by the board of directors.

FOREIGN SECURITIES - Foreign securities traded on a recognized securities
exchange are valued at the last sale price in the principal market where they
are traded, or, if closing prices are unavailable, at the last bid price
available prior to the time a Fund's net asset value is determined.  Foreign
portfolio securities prices are furnished by quotation services expressed in the
local currency's value and are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate
of exchange.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - In connection with transactions in repurchase
agreements, the Company's custodian takes possession of the underlying
collateral securities, the value or market price of which is at least equal to
the principal amount, including interest, of the repurchase transaction.  To the
extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of
the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of
the collateral.  In the


                                          36
<PAGE>

                           PROTECTIVE INVESTMENT COMPANY
                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                             JUNE 30, 1998 (UNAUDITED)

event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to
liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the
obligation.  Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy
by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the
collateral or proceeds may be subject to delay due to legal proceedings.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS - Investment security transactions are recorded on trade
date.  Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on
the basis of identified cost.

INVESTMENT INCOME - Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or, in
the case of dividend income on foreign securities, on the ex-dividend date or
when the Fund becomes aware of its declaration.  Interest income is recorded on
the accrual basis.  Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discounts and
amortization of premiums calculated ratably, is earned from settlement date and
is recorded on the accrual basis.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS - The records of the Funds are maintained in U.S.
dollars.  Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at a current
rate of exchange of such currency to determine the value of investments, other
assets and liabilities on the date of any determination of net asset value of
the Funds.  Purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses are
converted at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such
transactions.  Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency includes net
realized currency gains and losses recognized between accrual and payment dates.
Unrealized currency gains and losses on securities held are not segregated for
financial statement presentation.

Upon the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency, the
Funds may enter into a foreign currency exchange contract for the purchase or
sale, for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars, of an amount of the foreign currency
required to settle the security transaction.  Accordingly, the Company would not
realize currency gains or losses between the trade and settlement dates on such
security transactions.

The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual
commitments held by the Funds on each day and the resulting net unrealized
appreciation, depreciation and related net receivable or payable amounts are
determined by using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation
service.

FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS - A forward foreign currency contract ("Forward") is
an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a
future date.  The market value of the Forward fluctuates with changes in
currency exchange rates.  The Forward is marked-to-market daily and the change
in the market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss.  A
Forward may be closed prior to the contractual settlement date by entering into
an offsetting position in the same currency with the same settlement terms.  The
unrealized gain or loss resulting from the offsetting transaction is not
realized until the contractual settlement date.  On the contractual settlement
date the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between
the value of the Forward when entered into and the value of the Forward on the
contractual settlement date. The Funds could be exposed to risk if a
counterparty is unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the value of the
currency changes unfavorably.  The Funds may enter into Forwards in connection
with planned purchases and sales of securities, to hedge specific receivables or
payables against changes in future exchange rates, to hedge the U.S. dollar
value of portfolio securities denominated in a foreign currency and, in certain
circumstances, to increase the Funds' total returns.

CALL AND PUT OPTIONS - A call option written by a Fund obligates the Fund to
sell a specified currency or security to the option holder at a specified price
at any time before the expiration date.  A put option written by a Fund
obligates the Fund to purchase a specified currency or security from the option
holder at a specified price at any time before the expiration date. These
transactions involve a risk that a Fund may, upon exercise of the option, be
required to sell currency or securities at a price that is less than its market
value or be required to purchase currency or securities at a price that exceeds
its market value.  A Fund may also realize gains or losses by entering into
closing purchase transactions identical to call or put options that have been
written by the Fund in order to terminate its obligation under a call or put
option.  In determining the amount of gain or loss realized, the option premium
paid and related transactions costs are added to the exercise price.  The Funds
enter into option transactions to hedge against the fluctuation in a security's
value, an index's value or a foreign currency's value or to seek to increase the
Funds' total returns.

                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                             JUNE 30, 1998 (UNAUDITED)

FUTURES CONTRACTS - In order to gain exposure to or protect against declines in
security values, the Funds may buy and sell futures contracts.  The Funds may
also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.  A Fund
generally sells futures contracts to hedge against declines in the value of
portfolio securities.  A Fund may also purchase futures contracts to gain
exposure to market changes as it may be more efficient or cost effective than
actually buying securities.  The Funds  segregate assets to cover its
commitments under such futures contracts.  Upon entering into a futures
contract, a Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities in an amount
(initial margin) equal to a certain percentage of the contract value.
Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each
day.  The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the
contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses.  The Funds
recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.  Risks of
entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility
that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the
contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying
securities.

EXPENSES - Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund.
Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated on the basis of
relative average net assets, or otherwise allocated among the Funds as the board
of directors may direct or approve.

DISTRIBUTIONS - Distributions from net investment income are declared and
distributed at least annually for International Equity Fund, Global Income Fund,
Growth and Income Fund, Capital Growth Fund, CORE U.S. Equity Fund and Small Cap
Value Fund; and declared daily and distributed monthly for Money Market Fund.
Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at
least annually.  Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - Each Fund of the Company is treated as a separate entity
for federal tax purposes.  Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
By so qualifying, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes to the
extent that they distribute all of their taxable income, including realized
capital gains.  In addition, by distributing during each calendar year
substantially all of their net investment income, capital gains and certain
other amounts, if any, the Funds will not be subject to a federal excise tax.
Income distributions and capital gains distributions of a Fund are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles.  These differences are primarily due to differing
treatments for futures and options, foreign currency transactions and losses
deferred due to wash sales.  Any permanent book and tax basis differences at
fiscal year-end have been reclassified to reflect the tax characterization.

NOTE C - AGREEMENTS AND FEES

The Company has entered into an investment management agreement with Investment
Distributors Advisory Services, Inc. (the "Investment Manager"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Protective Life Corporation, under which the Company agrees to pay
for business management and administrative services furnished by the Investment
Manager.  For its services to the Company, the Investment Manager receives a
monthly management fee based on the average daily net assets of each Fund at the
following annual rates:  Global Income Fund, 1.10%; International Equity Fund,
1.10%; Capital Growth Fund, .80%; Growth and Income Fund, .80%; CORE U.S. Equity
Fund, .80%; Small Cap Value Fund, .80%; and Money Market Fund, .60%.

In order to limit expenses, IDASI has voluntarily undertaken to pay certain
operating expenses of the Company or of any Fund to the extent that such
expenses (excluding brokerage or other portfolio transaction expenses or
expenses of litigation, indemnification, taxes or other extraordinary expenses,
as accrued for each Fund) exceed the following percentages of that Fund's
estimated average daily net assets on an annualized basis:  Global Income Fund,
1.10%; International Equity Fund, 1.10%; Capital Growth Fund, .80%; Growth and
Income Fund, .80%; CORE U.S. Equity Fund, .80%; Small Cap Value Fund, .80%; and
Money Market Fund, .60%. IDASI may terminate its obligations to pay such
