DEAR VALUED CONTRACT OWNER:
We are pleased to provide you with this annual report for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 1995, for the funds which serve as
the underlying investments for the Schwab Investment Advantage-TM-
Variable Annuity issued by Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance
Company, and in New York, by First Transamerica Life Insurance
Company.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR ANNUAL REPORT
This annual report contains performance information, financial
statements, notes and highlights and other pertinent data for each
of the funds available in the variable annuity. You also will
find, from each fund manager, a discussion of their fund's
performance relative to the financial markets and economic
conditions. The performance figures quoted are for the underlying
funds, therefore, they do not reflect fees and charges associated
with the Schwab Investment Advantage-TM- Variable Annuity.
Please note that we have included all of the funds available
through the variable annuity, although you may not have amounts
allocated to each of these funds at this time.
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
To help put the year in perspective as you read your annual
report, Transamerica would like to provide you with following
brief economic overview for the year ending December 31, 1995:
Economic growth slowed dramatically in the first half of 1995.
A drop-off in consumer spending and restrictive monetary policy
resulted in growth in real GDP of 2.7% in the first quarter of
1995 and 0.5% in the second quarter of 1995. In the third quarter,
real economic growth was running at an annual rate in excess of
3%, somewhat above its long-term average. The Federal Reserve cut
short-term interest rates twice during 1995. Both the stock and
bond markets reacted favorably to the reductions.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
As a Schwab Investment Advantage-TM- Variable Annuity contract
owner, you have our deepest commitment that we will seek to
provide unparalleled customer service. If you have any questions
or comments about your variable annuity, including the information
contained in this annual report, please contact your investment
advisor or call the Schwab Annuity Service Center toll-free at
(800) 838-0650, or in New York, at (800) 838-0649.

satisfying your financial service needs. Please let us know how we
can better serve you.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Investor:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders for Equity Growth
and Income Fund, a portfolio of Insurance Management Series, for the
twelve-month period ended December 31, 1995. The report begins with the
management discussion and analysis by the fund's portfolio manager. Following
the management discussion and analysis is a complete listing of the fund's
holdings and its financial statements.
Equity Growth and Income Fund helps your money earn income and grow in value
by investing in a portfolio of high-quality stocks. Many of these stocks are
issued by companies whose names you will recognize. At the end of the period,
the fund's portfolio included Du Pont, Mattel, Avon, Philip Morris, RJR Nabisco,
Reebok, Chevron, Texaco, American Express, Bristol-Myers Squib, General
Electric, Sears, Hewlett-Packard, and AT&T to name a few.
Consistent with a highly favorable environment for stocks during 1995, the
fund delivered a total return of 33.71%* during the twelve-month period ended
December 31, 1995. The fund's net asset value increased significantly, from
$9.74 at the beginning of the period to $12.80 at the period's end. Dividends
totaled $0.20 per share, while net realized and unrealized gains totaled $3.06
per share during the period. At the end of the twelve-month report period, total
assets grew to reach $48.5 million.
Thank you for participating in the growth and income opportunities of U.S.
stocks through Equity Growth and Income Fund. We look forward to keeping you
informed about your investment's progress.
Sincerely,

EQUITY GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
In the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the U.S. stock market advanced
strongly, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index* ("S&P 500") recording a total
return of 37.6%. This compares to a modest 1.3% total return for the twelve
months ended December 31, 1994. Total return for Equity Growth and Income Fund
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, was 33.71%** versus 30.8% for the
average Lipper Growth and Income Fund.
Recent market strength was concentrated in large-capitalization stocks which
substantially influence the performance of the S&P 500. In contrast, the
Standard & Poor's 600 Small Cap Index*, a popular benchmark for
small-capitalization stocks, had a total return of only 29.9% for the year ended
December 31, 1995.
Market strength over the past year has been largely due to declining interest
rates and continuing strong growth in corporate profits. The 30-year U.S.
Treasury bond yield has declined from 8.1% to roughly 6.2%. Aggregate corporate
earnings for U.S. companies have shown 12%-15% gains in the past three quarters
versus 1994. The consensus forecast at this time is for a rather benign
inflation and interest rate environment and moderate real growth in U.S.
economic activity, perhaps at the 2.0%-2.5% level (annual rate). This backdrop
and the substantial rise in the stock market over the past year dictates
increased selectivity in stock selection at this time.
The best performing sector over the past year has been Technology, although
many stocks in this area have experienced corrections over the past few months.
We reduced our weighting in Technology a few months ago, but remain modestly
overweight relative to the S&P 500, given the excellent long-term outlook. The
Finance sector has also performed well over the past year and the fund continues
to have a significant exposure to this group.
As part of our portfolio management process in determining relative sector
weightings, we also attempt to identify underlying investment themes. Some
companies fit more than one theme. At this time, the major themes in the fund's
portfolio are as follows:
(1) Beneficiaries of corporate "restructuring" such as AT&T, ITT, and CIGNA;
(2) Industry consolidation--Lockheed Martin in the Aerospace/defense industry
and First Interstate in banking are examples;
(3) Companies which generate significant excess cash flow such as Philip Morris
and FMC;
(4) Dominant companies with superior management such as General Electric,
Citicorp and Philip Morris; and
(5) The Technology revolution--major "plays" include Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and
General Motors, Class "E" (EDS).
While some market observers express concern with overvaluation in the current
market, we believe good long-term values can be identified by our disciplined
process and careful fundamental research. An important part of our process is
our emphasis on controlling risk through diversification and attention to
valuation of individual stocks.
- ------------
*The Standard & Poor's Daily Stock Price Index of 500 Common Stocks, a
composite index of common stocks in industry, transportation, and financial
and public utility companies, can be used to compare to the total returns of
funds whose portfolios are invested primarily in common stocks. The Standard &
Poor's 600 Small Cap Index is an unmanaged index of 600 smaller capitalization
stocks. These indices are unmanaged and actual investments cannot be made in
indices.
**Performance quoted represents past performance. Investment return and
principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost.

*The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions. The S&P 500 and the LGIFA have been adjusted to reflect
reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and average.
+The S&P 500 is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees
that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The index is
unmanaged.
++The LGIFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the
mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as falling into
the category, and is not adjusted to reflect any sales charges. However, these
total returns are reported net of expenses or other fees that the SEC requires
to be reflected in a fund's performance.

EQUITY GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. ORGANIZATION
Insurance Management Series (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management
investment company. The Trust consists of seven portfolios. The financial
statements included herein are only those of Equity Growth and Income Fund (the
"Fund"), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other
portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated
and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are
held.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
INVESTMENT VALUATIONS: Short-term securities with remaining maturities of
sixty days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost,
which approximates fair market value. All other securities are valued at prices
provided by an independent pricing service.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: It is the policy of the Fund to require the custodian
bank 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 Fund to monitor, on a
daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement's collateral to
ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be
paid under the repurchase agreement transaction.
The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other
recognized financial institutions, such as broker/ dealers, which are deemed by
the Fund's adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or
standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").
Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the
terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Fund could receive less than
the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities.
INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS: Interest income and expenses
are accrued daily. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized as
required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"). Dividend income
and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which
may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These distributions do
not represent a return of capital for federal income tax purposes.
FEDERAL TAXES: It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to
shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no
provisions for federal tax are necessary.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS: The Fund may engage in
when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued
securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that
sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities
purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are
marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date.
OTHER: Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: Federated Advisers, the Fund's investment adviser,
(the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment advisory fee
equal to .75 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee and/or
reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund. The Adviser can modify or
terminate this voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement at any time at its sole
discretion.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE: Federated Administrative Services, under the
Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative
personnel and services. This fee is based on the level of average aggregate
daily net assets of all funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors for
the period. The administrative fee received during the period of the
Administrative Services Agreement shall be at least $125,000 per portfolio and
$30,000 per each additional class of shares.
TRANSFER AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT FEES AND EXPENSES: Federated Services
Company ("FServ") serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund.
This fee is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions
made by shareholders.

which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of the Fund's average
daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES: Organizational expenses of $16,348 and start-up
administrative service expenses of $31,507 were borne initially by the Adviser.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Trustees of the Insurance Management Series
and the Shareholders of EQUITY GROWTH AND INCOME FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of Equity Growth and Income Fund (a portfolio of
the Insurance Management Series) as of December 31, 1995, the related statement
of operations for the year then ended and the statement of changes in net assets
and financial highlights for the periods presented. 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 and brokers; where
replies were not received from brokers, 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, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Equity Growth and
Income Fund as of December 31, 1995, the results of its operations, the changes
in its net assets and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Dear Investor:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders for U.S. Government
Bond Fund, a portfolio of Insurance Management Series, for the twelve-month

and analysis by your fund's portfolio manager. Following the management
discussion and analysis is a complete listing of the fund's holdings and its
financial statements.
As a shareholder in U.S. Government Bond Fund, you are pursuing current income
and a degree of capital appreciation through a portfolio of U.S. government
mortgage-backed securities. While the Fund itself is not guaranteed, the payment
of principal and interest on all these securities are issued or guaranteed by
agencies of the U.S. government.
During the period ended December 31, 1995, your fund achieved a total return
of 8.77%.* The net asset value increased from $9.99 at the beginning of the
period to $10.29 at the period's end. Dividends paid to shareholders over the
twelve-month report period totaled $0.54 per share. At the end of the
twelve-month report period, total assets stood at $12.3 million.
Thank you for participating in the income opportunities of U.S. Government
Bond Fund. We look forward to keeping you informed about your investment's
progress.
Sincerely,

FEDERATED INVESTORS
U.S. GOVERNMENT BOND FUND
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
In 1995, the U.S. bond market experienced its best year in over a decade. As
yields declined, bond prices rose, fueled by a series of data indicating that
the U.S. economy was slowing and growing anticipation that the Federal Reserve
Board (the "Fed") would reverse its monetary policy.
During the first six months of 1995, yields of bonds with between two- and
five-year maturities declined by nearly 2%. The difference in spread between
short-term (two-year) and long-term (30-year) bonds increased from .18% to .82%
over the course of 1995.
The second half of 1995 saw a shift in market expectations about the Fed's
monetary policy. Investors struggled with the realization that the Fed was
transitioning toward "easing," or lowering, interest rates, at a slower pace
than expected. With the view by investors that inflation was well under control,
long-term U.S. Treasury securities became the star performers.
The dominant trend in the mortgage market during 1995 was the market
directional mortgage/ Treasury basis trade. Throughout 1995, mortgage to
Treasury yield spreads widened in market rallies and narrowed in market
sell-offs. The first and third quarters were rewarding time periods for mortgage
investors, while the second quarter was painful and the fourth quarter was
uneventful. For the year, the mortgage market did outperform the U.S. Treasury
market on a duration-adjusted basis.
U.S. Government Bond Fund invests in securities with average maturities
ranging from three to seven years. At the end of 1995, nearly 60% of the fund's
assets were invested in mortgage-backed securities, with the remainder invested
in U.S. Treasury obligations, including a repurchase agreement backed by U.S.
government obligations.
This focus on the mortgage-backed market is expected to continue, as decreased
volatility in interest rates, concerns about potential downgrades in corporate
bonds, and an increase in demand by financial institutions should result in
relatively strong performance by mortgage-backed securities in 1996.

*The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and

reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and average.
+The LB5TB is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees
that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The index is
unmanaged.
++The LUSMF represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the
mutual funds designated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. as falling into
the category, and is not adjusted to reflect any sales charges. However, these
total returns are reported net of expenses or other fees that the SEC requires
to be reflected in a fund's performance.

FEDERATED INVESTORS
U. S. GOVERNMENT BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. ORGANIZATION
Insurance Management Series (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management
investment company. The Trust consists of seven portfolios. The financial
statements included herein are only those of U.S. Government Bond Fund (the
"Fund"), a diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other
portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated
and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are
held.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
INVESTMENT VALUATIONS: Short-term securities with remaining maturities of
sixty days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost,
which approximates fair market value. All other securities are valued at prices
provided by an independent pricing service.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: It is the policy of the Fund to require the custodian
bank 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 Fund to monitor, on a
daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement's collateral to
ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be
paid under the repurchase agreement transaction.
The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other
recognized financial institutions, such as broker/ dealers, which are deemed by
the Fund's adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or
standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees").
Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the
terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Fund could receive less than
the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities.
INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS: Interest income and expenses
are accrued daily. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized as
required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"). Distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
FEDERAL TAXES: It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to
shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no
provisions for federal tax are necessary.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS: The Fund may engage in
when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued
securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that
sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities
purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are
marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date.
OTHER: Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.
3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value).
Transaction in shares were as follows:

operating expenses of the Fund. The Adviser can modify or terminate this
voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement at any time at its sole discretion.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE: Federated Administrative Services, under the

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Trustees of the Insurance Management Series
and the Shareholders of U.S. GOVERNMENT BOND FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of U.S. Government Bond Fund (a portfolio of the
Insurance Management Series) as of December 31, 1995, the related statement of
operations for the year then ended and the statement of changes in net assets
and financial highlights for the periods presented. 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 and brokers; where
replies were not received from brokers, 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 present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of U.S. Government Bond
Fund as of December 31, 1995, the results of its operations, the changes in its
net assets and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods ended
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
JANUARY 1996
1995 will long stand out as a banner year for U.S. investors. The S&P 500
achieved a total return of 37.46% for the 12 months ended 12/31/95, only the
fourth time in fifteen years the broad market returned over 25%. By other
measures, market results were even more exciting: The Dow Jones Industrial
Average broke 5000 for the first time in history, and fixed-income markets
followed suit, with the Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index gaining
19.24%.(1)
This spectacular performance was influenced by a number of positive economic
factors. Inflation was low at a mere 2.8%, unemployment was down, and growth in
Gross Domestic Product slowed to apparently sustainable levels. In addition, the
Federal Reserve Board cut short-term interest rates by .25% in July and again on
December 19, and there may well be more cuts in 1996.
By year-end, however, the broad market expansion appeared to be slowing down,
with the S&P growing just 1.94% in December.(1) And January brought choppy
financial waters as the broad market whipsawed in the wake of stalled federal
budget negotiations.
Until a budget settlement is reached in Washington, it seems likely that the
financial markets will remain volatile. However, we feel that budget approval
will ultimately restore the stock market to moderate growth levels, heralding
the beginning of a trend for both the U.S. stock and bond markets throughout
1996.
This year, the markets should get some help from slow, steady economic growth,
but earnings improvements almost certainly won't see the dramatic gains enjoyed
in 1995. In addition, although business investment is expected to be lower in
'96, U.S. companies should continue to enjoy expanded sales overseas. Therefore,
although we may see corrections in some sectors, we expect advances in
securities prices to be in the single-digit range for 1996.

JANUARY 1996
VIF-INDUSTRIAL INCOME PORTFOLIO
For the one-year period ended 12/31/95, VIF-Industrial Income Portfolio
returned 29.25%.(2) (Of course past performance is not a guarantee of future
results.) As the Fund is a blended portfolio containing approximately 60% stocks
and 40% bonds at year-end, this return is significantly higher than the Lehman
Government/Corporate Bond Index return of 19.24%, and is below the S&P 500
return of 37.46% for the same period.(1)
The portfolio's combination of stock and bond investments allows the Fund to
pursue its primary mission of providing high current income with the potential
for capital appreciation, yet remain defensive against potential equity market
downturns.
Equities are selected from major companies with average market capitalizations
of $10 to $20 billion dollars. As of 12/31/95 portfolio allocations were
diversified across nine investment sectors, with specific companies such as
General Electric and AT&T Corp chosen for their ability to benefit from global
economic growth, superior competitive positions, and financially strong balance
sheets and management.
The fixed-income segment is managed to pursue a high total return through a
unique "barbell" portfolio structure. Almost half of the bonds are in AAA-rated
government securities, seeking to provide the portfolio with stability. The
remainder is invested primarily in below-investment grade corporate bonds,
generating higher current income with significant opportunities for capital
appreciation. For example, following its acquisition by Time Warner, Cablevision
Industries' rating was increased, enhancing the portfolio's performance.

VIF-TOTAL RETURN PORTFOLIO
For the one-year period ended 12/31/95, VIF-Total Return Portfolio returned
22.79%.(2) (Of course past performance is not a guarantee of future results.) As
the Fund is a "balanced" portfolio containing both stocks and bonds, this return
is higher than the Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index return of 19.24%, and
is below the S&P 500 return of 37.46% for the same period.(1)
Total Return Portfolio generally holds 30% in stocks and 30% in bonds, with
the remaining 40% allocated according to market conditions. Our strategy
involves gradually adjusting the Fund's holdings according to shifts in the
stock and bond markets. This flexibility allows us to pursue consistent returns
in all market cycles.
VIF-Total Return's asset allocation has favored equities all year long. This
has proven beneficial to our performance, since stocks have clearly outperformed
bonds. The best performing sectors during the fourth quarter were consumer
staples, capital goods, and energy, with top returns realized over the last
quarter from Kimberly-Clark Corp and Eli Lilly Co. Stock selection is based upon
a "bottom-up, value" process that evaluates a company's historical profitability
relative to its current price. General characteristics of the resulting
portfolio of stocks usually include a low price/earnings ratio and a
higher-than-average yield.
The Fund's fixed-income segment invests only in Treasury and investment grade
corporate bonds. Our long maturity bond profile has benefited performance
throughout the year. With low inflation and moderate economic activity, interest
rates have not seen upward pressure. As a result, we continue to emphasize
longer duration investments.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW (CONTINUED)
JANUARY 1996
VIF-HIGH YIELD PORTFOLIO
VIF-High Yield Portfolio had a total return of 19.76% for the one-year period
ended 12/31/95, tracking with a total return of 19.90% for the Merrill Lynch
High Yield Master Index(1) for the same period.(2) (Of course, past performance
is not a guarantee of future results.)
The Fund's strong total return during 1995 can be attributed to investing
primarily in below-investment-grade corporate bonds, which have presented
significant potential for both growth and income in recent months.
We focus on a variety of opportunities for appreciation. One has been cyclical
companies with "near-death experiences." Having survived bankruptcy and
appearing to successfully restructure balance sheets and reduce debt, companies
such as USG Corp have seen ratings improvement and subsequent price
appreciation.
Special situations provide another growth prospect. For example, CONVEX
Computer held a CCC rating at year-end, despite its recent acquisition by
AA-rated Hewlett-Packard Co. We anticipate that when the ratings catch up with
the acquisition, appreciation in the price of this security may follow.
In addition to growth potential in the broad fixed-income market, we have
found that conditions within certain sectors present opportunities as well.
Cable television, telecommunications and broadcasting are currently attractive,
due to improving creditworthiness and heightened takeover activity.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW (CONTINUED)
JANUARY 1996
VIF-UTILITIES PORTFOLIO
VIF-Utilities Portfolio had a total return of 9.08% for the one-year period
ended 12/31/95, compared to a return of 24.17% by the Dow Jones Utilities Index
for the same period.(2) (Of course, past performance is not a guarantee of
future results.)
Since becoming fully invested during the fourth quarter, however, Utilities
Portfolio has outperformed the Index. For the three month period ended 12/31/95,
we achieved a total return of 7.15%, significantly exceeding the Dow Jones
Utilities Index return of 5.19% for the same period.(2)
Our heaviest weighting is in electric utilities to capitalize on the rally in
long-term bonds. However, should interest rates rise, utilities in general and
electric utilities in particular would come under some pressure.
With this in mind, the portfolio includes a broad cross-section of the various
utility sectors. In particular, we are placing an emphasis on growth-oriented
companies such as Southern New England Telecommunications.
Over the long-term, we expect utilities to continue in their traditional role
of providing a hedge against market downturns while distributing above-average
dividends.

INVESCO VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. (the "Fund"), a Maryland Corporation,
was incorporated on August 19, 1993, and consists of four separate portfolios:
High Yield Portfolio, Industrial Income Portfolio, Total Return Portfolio and
Utilities Portfolio (the "Portfolios"). The investment objectives of the
respective Portfolios are: to seek the best possible current income for the
Industrial Income Portfolio; to seek a high total return on investment through
capital appreciation and current income for the Total Return Portfolio; to seek
a high level of current income by investing principally in lower rated bonds and
other debt securities and in preferred stock for the High Yield Portfolio; and
to seek capital appreciation and income on securities of companies principally
engaged in public utilities for the Utilities Portfolio. The Fund is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. On December 16, 1993, the Fund issued and sold
2,500 shares of each Portfolio at $10.00 per share to INVESCO Funds Group, Inc.
("IFG"). Investment operations of the High Yield Portfolio commenced on May 27,
1994, the Industrial Income Portfolio on August 10, 1994, the Total Return
Portfolio on June 2, 1994 and the Utilities Portfolio on January 1, 1995. The
Fund's shares are not offered directly to the public but are sold exclusively to
life insurance companies ("Participating Insurance Companies") as a pooled
funding vehicle for variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts
issued by separate accounts of the Participating Insurance Companies.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. 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.
A. SECURITY VALUATION: Equity securities traded on national securities
exchanges or in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last sales price
in the market where such securities are primarily traded. If last sales prices
are not available, securities are valued at the highest closing bid price
obtained from one or more dealers making a market for such securities or by a
pricing service approved by the Fund's board of directors.
Debt securities are valued at evaluated bid prices as determined by a pricing
service approved by the Fund's board of directors. If evaluated bid prices are
not available, debt securities are valued by averaging the bid prices obtained
from dealers making a market for such securities.
Foreign securities are valued at the closing price on the principal stock
exchange on which they are traded. In the event that closing prices are not
available for foreign securities, prices will be obtained from the principal
stock exchange at or prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. Foreign
currency exchange rates are determined daily prior to the close of the New York
Stock Exchange.
If market quotations or pricing service valuations are not readily available,
securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund's
board of directors. Restricted securities are valued in accordance with
procedures established by the Fund's board of directors.
Short-term securities are stated at amortized cost (which approximates market
value) if maturity is 60 days or less at the time of purchase, or market value
if maturity is greater than 60 days.
B. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: Repurchase agreements held by the Fund are fully
collateralized by U.S. Government securities and such collateral is in the
possession of the Fund's custodian. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure
its market value exceeds the current market value of the repurchase agreements
including accrued interest.
C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME: Security transactions
are accounted for on the trade date and dividend income is recorded on the ex
dividend date. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded as
soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend if such information is obtained
subsequent to the ex dividend date. Interest income, which may be comprised of
stated coupon rate, market discount and original issue discount, is recorded on
the accrual basis. Discounts on debt securities purchased are amortized over the
life of the respective security as adjustments to interest income. Cost is
determined on the specific identification basis.
The Fund may have elements of risk due to concentrated investments in foreign
issuers located in a specific country. Such concentrations may subject the Fund
to additional risks resulting from future political or economic conditions
and/or possible impositions of adverse foreign governmental laws or currency
exchange restrictions. Net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments
includes fluctuations from currency exchange rates and fluctuations in market
value.

INVESCO VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The High Yield Portfolio invests primarily in high yield bonds, some of which
may be rated below investment grade. These high yield bonds may be more
susceptible than higher grade bonds to real or perceived adverse economic or
industry conditions. The secondary market, on which high yield bonds are traded,
may also be less liquid than the market for higher grade bonds.
Restricted securities held by the Fund may not be sold except in exempt
transactions or in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of
1933. The risk of investing in such securities is generally greater than the
risk of investing in the securities of widely held, publicly traded companies.
Lack of a secondary market and resale restrictions may result in the inability
of the Fund to sell a security at a fair price and may substantially delay the
sale of the security which the Fund seeks to sell. In addition, these securities
may exhibit greater price volatility than securities for which secondary markets
exist.
Investments in securities of governmental agencies may only be guaranteed by
the respective agency's limited authority to borrow from the U.S. Government and
may not be guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
D. FEDERAL AND STATE TAXES: The Fund has complied and continues to comply
with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and, accordingly, has made or intends to make sufficient
distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any,
to relieve it from all federal and state income taxes and federal excise taxes.
At December 31, 1995, the Utilities Portfolio had $175 in net capital loss
carryovers which expire in the year 2003. Therefore, no federal income tax
provision is required.
Dividends paid by the Fund from net investment income and distributions of net
realized short-term capital gains are, for federal income tax purposes, taxable
as ordinary income to shareholders. Of the ordinary income distributions
declared for the year ended December 31, 1995, amounts qualifying for the
dividends received deduction available to the Fund's corporate shareholders were
as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
QUALIFYING
PORTFOLIO PERCENTAGES
<S> <C>
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
High Yield Portfolio...................................................................... 0.11%
Industrial Income Portfolio............................................................... 20.12%
Total Return Portfolio.................................................................... 33.22%
Utilities Portfolio....................................................................... 78.90%
</TABLE>
Investment income received from foreign sources may be subject to foreign
withholding taxes. Dividend and interest income is shown gross of foreign
withholding taxes in the accompanying financial statements.
E. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends and distributions
to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the ex dividend/distribution date.
The Fund distributes net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders at
least annually, if not offset by capital loss carryovers. Income distributions
and capital gain distributions 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 mortgage-backed
securities, market discounts, foreign currency transactions, nontaxable
dividends, net operating losses and expired capital loss carryforwards. As of
December 31, 1995, there were no such differences.
F. ORGANIZATION COSTS: Organization costs of $73,640 advanced by IFG are
amortized and are payable on a straight-line basis over a sixty-month period
from the date the Fund commenced operations. IFG has agreed that if it redeems
any of its initially acquired shares of the Fund during the five years from the
date the Fund commenced operations, the proceeds payable to it in respect of
such shares will be reduced by a pro rata share of the Fund's unamortized
organization costs.
G. EXPENSES: Each of the Portfolios bears expenses incurred specifically on
its behalf and, in addition, each Portfolio bears a portion of general expenses,
based on the relative net assets of each Portfolio.
Under an agreement between each Portfolio and the Fund's Custodian, agreed
upon Custodian Fees and Expenses are reduced by credits granted by the Custodian
from any temporarily uninvested cash. Such credits are included in Fees and
Expenses Paid Indirectly in the Statement of Operations.

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
IFG serves as the Fund's investment adviser. As compensation for its services
to the Fund, IFG receives an investment advisory fee which is accrued daily at
the application rate and paid monthly. The fee is based on the annual rate of
each Portfolio's average net assets as follows:

</TABLE>
In accordance with a Sub-Advisory Agreement between IFG and INVESCO Trust
Company ("ITC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of IFG, investment decisions of the
High Yield, Industrial Income and Utilities Portfolios are made by ITC. A
separate Sub-Advisory Agreement between IFG and INVESCO Capital Management, Inc.
("ICM"), an affiliate of IFG, provides that investment decisions of the Total
Return Portfolio are made by ICM. Fees for such sub-advisory services are paid
by IFG.
In accordance with an Administrative Agreement, each Portfolio pays IFG an
annual fee of $10,000, plus an additional amount computed at an annual rate of
0.015% of average net assets to provide administrative, accounting and clerical
services. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly.
IFG receives a transfer agent fee of $5,000 per Portfolio per year. The fee is
paid monthly at one-twelfth of the annual fee.
IFG has voluntarily agreed, in some instances, to absorb certain fees and
expenses incurred by each Portfolio.

INVESCO VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS, INC.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the statement of investment securities, and the related statements of operations
and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios constituting
the INVESCO Variable Investment Funds, Inc. (the "Fund") at December 31, 1995,
the results of each of their operations for the year then ended and the changes
in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods
indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at
December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and the application of
alternative auditing procedures for unsettled security transactions, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

JANUS ASPEN GROWTH PORTFOLIO
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION YEAR-END 1995
DECEMBER 31, 1995
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
In 1995 the financial markets achieved one of the strongest performances on
record, fueled by moderate economic growth, low inflation, and a dramatic
decline in interest rates. Corporate earnings also continued to set records.
The Janus Aspen Growth Portfolio produced a total return of 30.17% for the
year ended December 31, 1995, while the broader market, as measured by the S&P
500 Index, gained 37.58%. Both returns include reinvested dividends.
Although we did not catch the S&P 500 Index, the Portfolio produced
significant gains, and results were achieved with less risk than if the
Portfolio had contained a more volatile selection of stocks. We were cautious
earlier this year when rapid growth in the economy could have caused interest
rates to rise, and held only a moderate position in the volatile technology
sector, which lead the market until the fourth quarter. This year most European
markets did not keep pace with gains in the U.S., and this impacted our foreign
holdings. Lastly, paper stocks declined when the economy slowed and paper prices
weakened.
The Portfolio's returns were helped by Citicorp, and by our early recognition
of the boom in outsourcing and its effect on EDS (General Motors E) and First
Data. We were also quick to see the potential of German software provider SAP.
THE PORTFOLIO
Equity holdings increased from 54% when the fiscal year began to 81% at year
end, reflecting a more positive outlook for growth stocks, which tend to perform
best in a moderate economy. The Portfolio's ten largest holdings were 28% of
assets at year end, up from 18% at the end of 1994. Approximately 13% of the
Portfolio was invested abroad, compared to 6% at year end 1994.
PORTFOLIO THEMES
PHARMACEUTICALS. Pfizer in the U.S. and Astra and Roche in Europe have
exciting products in their pipelines. We expect these companies to increase
revenues by 15% annually for the next three years, while earnings should grow by
20%.
OUTSOURCING. More and more, companies farm out functions such as data
processing and computer operations to outside specialists like EDS. EDS should
sign $10 billion in new business this year. First Data processes credit card
transactions for banks and recently acquired First Financial, the largest credit
card processor for merchants. First Data now dominates a market growing at
better than 20%.
SHARE REPURCHASE. Many companies have excess cash flow, more money than they
can prudently reinvest in their business. Some companies are employing the extra
cash to buy back and retire their own stock, which adds value for shareholders.
Citicorp (banking) and Hercules (chemicals) have significant stock repurchase
programs.
INSURANCE. Many insurance companies have restructured operations, increased
efficiency, and grown market share. This group includes disability provider
UNUM, reinsurer General Re, and property-casualty giant AIG.
BANKING. Increased efficiency and disciplined asset growth are the keys to
earnings momentum at Citicorp, which also has very successful operations in
emerging markets. At Bank of New York emphasis on securities processing is
lifting profits.
GOING FORWARD
Current economic conditions are very positive for growth stocks. Even if the
economy slows and earnings momentum is less robust, companies with consistent
earnings growth, which make up the core holdings of the Portfolio, should be in
greater demand.
Thank you for your investment in Janus Aspen Growth Portfolio.

The returns do not reflect deductions at the separate account or contract level
for any charges that may be incurred under a contract. The Portfolio's
securities may differ significantly from the securities in the Index. The Index
is unmanaged. The Adviser voluntarily waives a portion of the Portfolio's
expenses. Without such waiver, the Portfolio's total return would have been
lower.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE. INVESTMENT RETURN
AND PRINCIPAL VALUE MAY FLUCTUATE SO THAT SHARES, WHEN REDEEMED, MAY BE WORTH
MORE OR LESS THAN THEIR ORIGINAL COST.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Janus Aspen Series (the "Trust") was organized as a Delaware Trust on May 20,
1993 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")
as a no-load, open-end management investment company. The Trust offers eight
portfolios or series of shares with differing investment objectives and
policies. Five portfolios invest primarily in equity securities: Janus Aspen
Growth Portfolio, Janus Aspen Aggressive Growth Portfolio, Janus Aspen
International Growth Portfolio, Janus Aspen Worldwide Growth Portfolio, and
Janus Aspen Balanced Portfolio. Two Portfolios invest primarily in income
producing securities: Janus Aspen Flexible Income Portfolio and Janus Aspen
Short-Term Bond Portfolio. Janus Money Market Portfolio invests in short-term
money market securities. Each Portfolio is diversified as defined in the 1940
Act, with the exception of the Aggressive Growth Portfolio which is
non-diversified.
Shares of the Trust are issued and redeemed only in connection with investment
in and payments under variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance
contracts (collectively "variable insurance contracts"), as well as certain
qualified retirement plans.
Effective May 1, 1995, the Trust issued a new series of shares, the Janus
Aspen Money Market Portfolio, a diversified portfolio investing primarily in
short-term money market securities. Janus Capital Corp. (the Trust's investment
advisor "Janus Capital") invested $10,000 of initial seed capital. Organization
costs for the Portfolio were borne by Janus Capital.
The following accounting policies have been consistently followed by the
Portfolios and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the investment company industry.
INVESTMENT VALUATION: Securities are valued at the closing price for
securities traded on a principal securities exchange (U.S. or foreign) and on
the NASDAQ National Market. Securities traded on over-the-counter markets and
listed securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the latest bid
price (or yield equivalent thereof) obtained from one or more dealers making a
market for such securities or by a pricing service approved by the Trustees.
Short-term investments maturing within 60 days and all money market securities
in the Money Market Portfolio are valued at amortized cost, which approximates
market value. Foreign securities are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange
rates at the close of the New York Stock Exchange. When market quotations are
not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good
faith under procedures established by the Trustees.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Investment transactions are
accounted for as of the date purchased or sold. Dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and
includes amortization of discounts and premiums. Gains and losses are determined
on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income
tax purposes.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Portfolios
enter into forward foreign currency contracts in order to hedge their exposure
to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio
holdings and to hedge certain firm purchase and sale commitments denominated in
foreign currencies. A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or
sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The gain
or loss arising from the difference between the original contract and the
closing of such contract is included in net realized gain or loss on foreign
currency transactions. Currency gain and loss is also calculated on payables and
receivables that are denominated in foreign currencies. The payables and
receivables are generally related to security transactions and income.
Futures contracts are marked to market daily and the variation margin is
recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When a contract is closed, a realized
gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing
value of the contract. Generally, open forward and futures contracts are marked
to market for federal income tax purposes at fiscal year-end.
Foreign denominated assets and forward currency contracts may involve more
risks than domestic transactions, including: currency risk, political and
economic risk, regulatory risk, and market risk. Risks may arise from the
potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from
unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S.
dollar.
The Portfolios may enter into futures contracts and options on securities,
financial indices and foreign currencies; forward contracts; and interest rate
swaps and swap-related products. The Portfolios intend to use such derivative
instruments primarily to hedge or protect from adverse movements in securities
prices, currency rates or interest rates. The use of futures contracts and
options may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or
imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying
securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations.

JANUS ASPEN GROWTH PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RISK: A portion of the Flexible Income Portfolio may be
invested in lower rated debt securities that have a higher risk of default or
loss of value due to changes in the economy or in their respective industry.
ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTIONS AND EXPENSES: Each Portfolio, except the Money Market
Portfolio, makes semiannual distributions of substantially all of its investment
income and an annual distribution of its net realized capital gains, if any. The
Money Market Portfolio makes daily distributions of its income. All dividends
and capital gains distributions from a Portfolio will be automatically
reinvested into additional shares of that Portfolio.
Each Portfolio bears expenses incurred specifically on its behalf as well as a
portion of general expenses based generally on the relative net assets of each
Portfolio.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: No provision for income taxes is included in the
accompanying financial statements as the Portfolios intend to distribute to
shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise
comply with the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies.
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment advisory fees for each of the five equity Portfolios are payable to
Janus Capital based upon annual rates of 1% of the first $30 million of average
net assets, .75% of the next $270 million of average net assets, .70% of the
next $200 million of average net assets and .65% of the average net assets in
excess of $500 million. However, Janus Capital has voluntarily agreed to reduce
each equity Portfolio's advisory fee to the extent that such fee exceeds the
effective rate of the Janus retail fund corresponding to such Portfolio. The
effective rate is the advisory fee calculated by the corresponding retail fund
as of the last day of each calendar quarter (expressed as an annual rate). Janus
Aspen Growth Portfolio, Janus Aspen Aggressive Growth Portfolio, Janus Aspen
International Growth Portfolio, Janus Aspen Worldwide Growth Portfolio and Janus
Aspen Balanced Portfolio advisory fees are reduced to the effective rates of
Janus Fund, Janus Enterprise Fund, Janus Overseas Fund, Janus Worldwide Fund and
Janus Balanced Fund, respectively. The effective rate for each Portfolio for the
period ended December 31, 1995 was .65%, .75%, .82%, .68% and .81%,
respectively. The income Portfolios are each subject to advisory fees payable to
Janus Capital based upon annual rates of .65% of the first $300 million of
average net assets plus .55% of average net assets in excess of $300 million.
The Money Market Portfolio's advisory fee rate is .25% of average net assets.
As discussed in the prospectus, Janus Capital will reduce its fee to a
Portfolio to the extent that the Portfolio's normal operating expenses
(exclusive of brokerage commissions, interest and taxes) exceed 2 1/2% of the
first $30 million, 2% of the next $70 million and 1 1/2% of the balance of a
Portfolio's average net assets for a fiscal year. Janus Capital has also agreed
to reduce its fee to the extent that normal operating expenses exceed 1% of the
average net assets of the Flexible Income Portfolio, .65% of the average net
assets of the Short-Term Bond Portfolio and .50% of the average net assets of
the Money Market Portfolio for a fiscal year.
Officers and certain trustees of the Trust are also officers and/or directors
of Janus Capital; however, they receive no compensation from the Trust.
DST Systems Inc. (DST), an affiliate of Janus Capital through a degree of
common ownership, provides accounting systems to the Portfolios. DST Securities
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DST, provides brokerage services on certain
portfolio transactions. Brokerage commissions paid to DST Securities Inc. serve
to reduce custody and other fees and expenses. Brokerage commissions paid, fees
reduced, and the net fees paid to DST for the period ended December 31, 1995 are
noted below:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Shareholders of Janus Aspen Series
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Janus Aspen Growth Portfolio, Janus
Aspen Aggressive Growth Portfolio, Janus Aspen International Growth Portfolio,
Janus Aspen Worldwide Growth Portfolio, Janus Aspen Balanced Portfolio, Janus
Aspen Flexible Income Portfolio, Janus Aspen Short-Term Bond Portfolio, and
Janus Aspen Money Market Portfolio (constituting the Janus Aspen Series,
hereafter referred to as the "Funds"), at December 31, 1995, the results of each
of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net
assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 1995 by
correspondence with the custodian and the application of alternative auditing
procedures for unsettled security transactions, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.

LEXINGTON EMERGING MARKETS FUND, INC.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
It was another difficult year for emerging market funds. The Lexington
Emerging Markets Fund declined 3.93%* during 1995. The unmanaged Morgan Stanley
Capital International Emerging Markets Index fell an even greater 10.8%. The
average emerging markets fund fell 4.5% during 1995 according to Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. Returns remained in negative territory for the fourth
quarter as the unmanaged Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets
Index fell 2.4%. The Lexington Emerging Markets Fund declined 3.05%* while the
average emerging market fund suffered declines of 3.3% during the fourth
quarter.
There were only a few bright spots in the emerging market arena in 1995.
Israeli stocks rose an average 21.8% as falling interest rates and further signs
of peace propelled equities. South African equities also saw strong returns,
appreciating 17.3%, while Greek equities posted gains of 10.2%. The best
strategy for 1995 would have been to hold large cash positions with heavy
investments in the few smaller yet strong performing markets. The major regions
in which most emerging market funds invest declined sharply. The unmanaged
Morgan Stanley Far East Index fell 10.5% during 1995, while the unmanaged Morgan
Stanley Latin America Index declined 15.8% for the year. The Lexington Emerging
Markets Fund did relatively well due to a large holding of Israeli stocks and
high cash levels at the beginning of the year.
Emerging markets performed poorly for several reasons in 1995. Latin American
markets were more severely damaged due to the collapse of the Mexican peso at
the end of 1994. Mexico fell into a severe recession as GDP fell by almost 10%.
Capital fled the Latin American region, resulting in a sharp economic
contraction in Mexico as well as in Argentina and Brazil. The economic
contraction not only damaged corporate profits but also led to a crisis in the
Mexican and Argentine banking systems. Far Eastern markets suffered from the
typical cyclical effects of economic overheating. Central banks responded to
rising current account deficits, which became more difficult to fund as foreign
capital inflows diminished, by raising interest rates. As usual, rising interest
rates had a negative impact on equity prices. Finally, with returns so strong in
the U.S. market, investors stayed at home in 1995 instead of searching abroad
for higher returns.
The outlook for 1996 is exciting. Given two years of consolidation after a
spectacular 1993, valuation levels are far more attractive today than they have
been for some time. Signs of economic slowing in Asia should begin to appear,
improving the interest rate outlook and propelling stocks higher. Mexico and
Latin America face a difficult recovery but there are also many opportunities.
Mexico is rebuilding its economy on a sounder footing. Exports are now 30% of
Mexican GDP and growing rapidly and the Mexican current account deficit has
moved into surplus.
We see tremendous opportunities in Eastern Europe, especially Poland. Western
European countries, due to high labor costs, are increasingly moving production
capacity to low wage countries with Poland becoming a favorite target. This is
in many ways similar to Japanese investment earmarked for Asia in the '80s and
'90s. Israel also continues to offer attractive investments due to its highly
skilled and cheap labor force, and better macroeconomic management from the
government and the Bank of Israel.
The Lexington Emerging Markets Fund has redeployed most of its high cash
position back into equities due to our positive stance on emerging markets. The
largest weighting remains in Asia as these dynamic, fast growing economies offer
the prospect of strong long-term earnings growth. Latin America now constitutes
over 20% of the Fund's assets as we expect confidence to return to the region.
If capital flows increase into Latin America those economies will reap the
benefits of falling interest rates and healthier currencies. Also, due to the
sharp contraction in the Latin American markets, several outstanding companies
have become very cheap and should provide excellent returns over the long term
from these depressed levels. We believe the Fund's weighting in Eastern Europe
will differentiate the Lexington Emerging Markets Fund from other emerging
markets funds in 1996. It is in this region where we believe the best value
exists. This is still a relatively undiscovered area in the emerging markets
community. The Polish economy is growing 6%, inflation although high at 24%,
continues to decline, and there are several rapidly growing companies with world
class strategic partners trading at low single digit price to earnings ratios.

Investing in emerging markets is certainly not without risks. Besides those
risks usually associated with emerging markets investments we will be watching
out for signs of rising inflation and economic pick-up in the developed world.
Such a scenario would put pressure on interest rates and thus have a negative
effect on the emerging markets. We believe that U.S. investors will begin to
look abroad again in 1996. U.S. returns are likely to be much more pedestrian in
1996 than they were in 1995. Barings Securities estimates $50 billion will flow
into emerging markets in 1996 which would be triple the 1995 level.
We appreciate your continued support and would welcome the opportunity to
discuss any questions you may have about your investment.
Sincerely,

identified cost basis. Investments are stated at market value based on closing
prices reported by the exchange on which the securities are traded, on the last
business day of the period or, for over-the-counter securities, at the average
between bid and asked prices. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available and other assets are valued at fair value as determined by the
management and approved in good faith by the Board of Directors. Short-term
securities are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value. All
investments quoted in foreign currency are valued in U.S. dollars on the basis
of the foreign currency exchange rate prevailing at the close of business.
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Interest income is accrued as earned.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS: Foreign currencies (and receivables and
payables denominated in foreign currencies) are translated into U.S. dollar
amounts at current exchange rates. Translation gains or losses resulting from
changes in exchange rates and realized gains and losses on the settlement of
foreign currency transactions are reported in the statement of operations. In
addition, the Fund may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts in order to
hedge against foreign currency risk. These contracts are marked to market daily,
by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current
market rate as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses are
recognized when contracts are closed.
DISTRIBUTIONS: In accordance with Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain and
Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies, as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, book and tax basis differences amounting to $5,167 and $4,036
respectively, have been reclassified from accumulated net realized loss on
investments to undistributed net investment income. Accumulated net realized
loss on investments reflects temporary book-tax differences arising from losses
resulting from wash sales and Internal Revenue Code Excise Tax distribution
requirements and associated post-October loss deferral provisions, which
effectively allow the deferral of net realized capital losses to the next tax
year.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Fund's intention to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made.
DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES: Organization expenses aggregating $22,290
have been deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over five
years.
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATE
The Fund pays an investment advisory fee to Lexington Management Corporation
("LMC") at the rate of .85% of average daily net assets. LMC has agreed to
voluntarily limit the total expenses of the Fund (excluding interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses but including management fee
and operating expenses) to an annual rate of 1.30% of the Fund's average net
assets. For the year ended December 31, 1995 expense reimbursement amounted to
$173,670 and is set forth in the statement of operations.
The Fund also reimburses LMC for certain expenses, including accounting and
shareholder servicing costs, which are incurred by the Fund, but paid by LMC.

4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities for the year ended
December 31, 1995, excluding short-term securities, were $10,411,784 and
$4,689,910, respectively.
At December 31, 1995, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all
securities and foreign currency holdings (including foreign currency receivables
and payables) in which there is an excess of value over tax cost amounted to
$474,489 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for which there is an
excess of tax cost over value amounted to $541,004.
5. INVESTMENT AND CONCENTRATION RISKS
The Fund's investment in foreign securities may involve risks not present in
domestic investments. Since foreign securities may be denominated in a foreign
currency and involve settlement and pay interest or dividends in foreign
currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S.
dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings 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.
In addition to the risks described above, risks may arise from forward foreign
currency contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the
terms of their contracts.
6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES-CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS
Capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes as of
December 31, 1995 are approximately $447,839 expiring in 2003.
To the extent any future capital gains are offset by these losses, such gains
would not be distributed to shareholders.
Treasury regulations were issued in early 1990 which provide that capital
losses incurred after October 31 of a Fund's taxable year can be deemed to have
occurred on the first day of the following taxable year (i.e., January 1). The
regulations indicate that a fund may elect to retroactively apply these rules
for purposes of computing taxable income. Accordingly, the 1995 post-October
losses of $63,720 has been deemed to have occurred in 1996 for federal income
tax purposes.

INVESTMENT REVIEW
1995 ECONOMIC REVIEW
The economic expansion slowed in 1995 to an annual rate of 1.4% through the
end of the third quarter, compared to the impressive 3.7% growth rate of the
Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) during 1994.(1) This slowing of the economy
can largely be attributed to the series of increases in the federal funds rate
implemented by the Federal Reserve Bank (known as the Fed) throughout 1994 and
early 1995. The Fed raised its federal funds rate target from 3.0% at the
beginning of 1994 to a high of 6.0% in February 1995. By increasing the target
on the federal funds rate, the Fed hoped to head off the inflationary impact of
a rapidly growing economy by slowing the rate of growth without putting the
economy into a recession. Following three 0.25% reductions in July and December
of 1995 and January of 1996, the federal funds rate target stood at 5.25% at the
end of January 1996. The economic data currently suggests that the Fed's actions
have achieved the desired effect, as inflation has stabilized and the U.S. has
entered into a period of moderate economic growth.
Several key economic indicators, such as industrial production, capacity
utilization, new home sales, and retail sales have fallen from their high 1994
levels, indicating that economic activity in many sectors has slowed. Although
the unemployment rate has remained low at 5.6% for 1995, non-farm payroll growth
slowed quite dramatically throughout the year. In light of the economic data and
the positive inflation outlook, the Fed lowered the federal funds rate or eased
monetary policy, twice in 1995 and once in January 1996.
SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT
One of the most significant news stories of 1995 was the uncertainty
surrounding the federal budget and debt ceiling negotiations between Congress
and the Clinton Administration and the resulting government shutdowns. While
these events have taken center stage in the national spotlight, the issues
relating to the deficit ceiling itself have had a relatively minor impact to
date on the financial markets. As of this writing, short-term interest rates
have declined largely as a result of weaker economic growth, lower inflation,
and the market's expectations that a balanced budget deal may be achieved. The
Fed already has lowered the federal funds rate a total of 0.50% in 1995 and
0.25% in January 1996; a balanced budget compromise could give the Fed incentive
to lower interest rates even further, an action which is widely anticipated by
market participants.
As shown in the chart on the next page, short-term interest rates declined
steadily throughout 1995. The primary reason for the decline has been the two
reductions in the federal funds target rate and anticipation of further
reductions in the future.

(1) All Gross Domestic Product (GDP) statistics used in this report are based on
the Commerce Department's new chain-weighted calculation methodology. As a
result, these statistics may differ from those in previous shareholder
reports, which used the prior fixed-weighted methodology. During 1996, the
Commerce Department will revise all GDP growth rate reporting to a
chain-weighted basis.

PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION
In response to the softer economic environment and expectations of federal
funds rate reductions, the dollar-weighted average maturity of the Portfolio was
lengthened during 1995. In general, in a declining interest rate environment,
extending a fund's dollar-weighted average maturity helps minimize the impact of
having to reinvest money at lower market rates as securities held in a fund's
portfolio mature. For example, from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995, the
average maturity of the Schwab Money Market Portfolio increased from 13 days to
30 days. Although the Portfolio's yield has decreased recently in response to
the decline in market interest rates, this strategy of lengthening maturities
was successful in delaying the decline in the Portfolio's yield.

SCHWAB MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND
The Schwab Money Market Portfolio (the "Fund") is a series of Schwab Annuity
Portfolios (the "Trust"), a diversified, no-load, open-end, management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on January 21,
1994 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The
Fund commenced operations on May 3, 1994.
The Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of high quality, debt securities
which mature within 397 days. The Fund is intended exclusively as an investment
vehicle for Schwab Investment Advantage-TM-, a variable annuity program.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles for investment companies. 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 those estimates.
SECURITY VALUATION: Investments are stated at amortized cost which
approximates market value.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INTEREST INCOME: Security transactions are
accounted for on a trade date basis (date the order to buy or sell is executed).
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of
premium and accretion of discount on investments. Realized gains and losses from
security transactions are determined on an identified cost basis.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or government agency securities. All collateral is held by the Fund's
custodian and is monitored daily to ensure that its market value at least equals
the repurchase price under the agreement.
DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The Fund declares a daily dividend, equal to its
net investment income for that day, payable monthly.
DEFERRED ORGANIZATION COSTS: Costs incurred in connection with the
organization of the Fund and its initial registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and with various states are amortized on a straight-line
basis over a five-year period from the Fund's commencement of operations.
EXPENSES: Expenses arising in connection with the Fund are charged directly
to the Fund. As the Trust offers additional funds, expenses common to all series
of the Trust will be allocated to each series in proportion to their relative
net assets.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Fund's policy to meet the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all net investment income and realized net capital gains, if any, to
shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Fund
intends to qualify under the Code with respect to the diversification
requirements related to the tax-deferred status of insurance company separate
accounts. The Fund is considered a separate entity for tax purposes.
3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENTS: The Trust has an
investment advisory and administration agreement with Charles Schwab Investment
Management, Inc. (the "Investment Manager"). For advisory services and
facilities furnished, the Fund pays an annual fee, payable monthly, of .46% of
the first $2 billion of average daily net assets, .45% of such assets over $2
billion and .40% of such assets in excess of $3 billion. Under this agreement,
the Fund incurred investment advisory and administration fees of $53,557 for the
year ended December 31, 1995, before the Investment Manager reduced its fee (see
Note 4).
OFFICERS AND TRUSTEES: Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also
officers or directors of the Investment Manager. During the year ended December
31, 1995, the Trust made no direct payments to its officers or trustees who are
"interested persons" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended. The Fund incurred fees of $5,214 related to the Trust's unaffiliated
trustees.
4. EXPENSES REDUCED AND ABSORBED BY THE INVESTMENT MANAGER
The Investment Manager reduced a portion of its fee and absorbed certain
expenses in order to limit the Fund's ratio of operating expenses to average net
assets. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the total of such fees and
expenses reduced and absorbed by the Investment Manager was $60,678.

The Investment Manager has reduced a portion of its fees and absorbed certain

assets. Had these fees and expenses not been reduced and absorbed, the ratio of
expenses to average net assets for the periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
would have been 1.02% and 2.10%*, respectively, and the ratio of net investment
income to average net assets would have been 4.65% and 2.56%*, respectively.

SCHWAB MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the Schwab Money Market Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, the related statements of operations and of changes
in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Schwab Money Market Portfolio (one of
the series constituting Schwab Annuity Portfolios, hereafter referred to as the
"Trust") at December 31, 1995, the results of its operations for the year then
ended, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the
periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at
December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

STEINROE VARIABLE INVESTMENT TRUST
CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S DISCUSSION
DEAR CONTRACT OWNER:
For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund's total return lagged the
general market indices, increasing 11.8 percent, compared to a 28.5 percent gain
for the Russell 2000, the most comprehensive small company stock index, a 31.0
percent gain for the S&P MidCap Index and a 37.5 percent gain for the S&P 500.*
Much of the Fund's underperformance can be traced to early 1995 when the Fund
held a sizable stake -- between 19 percent and 21 percent of equities -- in
non-U.S. holdings at a time when the spread between domestic and international
stock market returns was significant. In addition, the Fund's small- and mid-cap
holdings posted lackluster returns until the third quarter of 1995. After a
difficult first half, however, the Fund's relative performance steadily improved
throughout the last half of 1995. For the six-month period ended December 31,
1995, the Fund posted a total return of 13.2 percent, which underperformed the
S&P 500's six-month return of 14.4 percent, but exceeded the 12.3 percent return
of the Russell 2000 Index and the 11.3 percent return of the S&P MidCap Index
for the same time period.
The Fund, which invests primarily in small and medium-sized companies, had 61
percent in stocks with market caps of less than $500 million, 12 percent in
stocks between $500 million and $1 billion and 27 percent in stocks with market
caps of more than $1 billion. The median market cap of the stocks in the
portfolio was $297 million. Although smaller stocks tend to be more volatile,
over the long term we believe a well-chosen group of small- and mid-cap
companies can generally achieve a greater rate of return. As a result, we
believe the Fund is best suited for investors with long-term time horizons of
three years or more. For the three-year period ended December 31, 1995, the Fund
had an annualized return of 15.3 percent, which outpaced the three-year total
returns of 14.5 percent for the Russell 2000 and 12.9 percent for the S&P
MidCap, and matched the 15.3 percent three-year total return of the S&P 500.
The Fund's ten largest holdings totaled 40 percent of equities at year end.
This group, which remains broadly diversified, has performed well over the past
year, led by Triad Guaranty (+108 percent), Interim Services (+41 percent) and
Amerisource (+57 percent). At December 31, 1995, the prior three holdings made
up 3.9 percent, 4.1 percent and 4.6 percent of total net assets, respectively.
The Fund's top ten holdings performed particularly well during the most recent
quarter ended December 31, 1995, increasing on average 10 percent, which is
higher than both the Fund's total return for the quarter of 2.1 percent and the
2.2 percent return of the Russell 2000.
On average, we believe the companies the Fund owns are growing quite
satisfactorily and, after lagging the domestic stock market, they have become
relatively inexpensive. As of December 31, 1995, the Fund's portfolio is selling
around 17x earnings, which is in-line with the general market.
We will continue to focus our direct research efforts on evaluating company
management and identifying what we believe are large market opportunities.
E. Bruce Dunn and Richard Peterson,
Portfolio Managers
* Total return performance includes changes in share price and reinvestment of
income and capital gains distributions. Performance numbers reflect all Fund
expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance
company's separate accounts. If performance information included the effect of
these additional amounts, it would be lower. Past performance is no guarantee
of future results. Share price and investment return will vary, so you may
have a gain or a loss when you sell shares. The S&P 500, the S&P MidCap and
the Russell 2000 are unmanaged groups of stocks that differ from the
composition of Capital Appreciation Fund; they are not available for direct
investment.

STEINROE VARIABLE INVESTMENT TRUST
CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. ORGANIZATION, FUND OBJECTIVES AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Capital Appreciation Fund (the "Fund") is a constituent fund of SteinRoe
Variable Investment Trust, a Massachusetts business trust organized on June 9,
1987. The Fund is an open-end, diversified management investment company. The
investment objective of the Fund is capital growth by investing primarily in
equity securities.
Shares of the Fund are available and are being marketed exclusively as a
pooled funding vehicle for variable annuity contracts ("VA contracts") and
Variable Life Insurance Policies ("VLI policies") of various affiliated and
non-affiliated insurance companies. Stein Roe & Farnham Incorporated (the
"Adviser") provides investment advisory services to the fund as well as
management, administration, accounting and transfer agent services. The Adviser
is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Financial Company. At
December 31, 1995, various affiliated insurance companies of Liberty Financial
Company and Transamerica Life Companies owned 98.1 percent and 1.9 percent of
the outstanding shares of the Fund, respectively.
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. 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
increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS: Portfolio securities listed on a domestic exchange
and over-the-counter securities quoted on the NASDAQ system are valued on the
basis of the last sale on the date as of which the valuation is made, or,
lacking any sales, at the current bid prices. Over-the-counter securities not
quoted on the NASDAQ system are valued at the latest bid quotation. Foreign
security valuations are generally based upon market quotations which, depending
upon local convention or regulation, may be the last sale price, last bid or
asked price, or the mean between last bid and asked prices as of, in each case,
the close of the appropriate exchange or other designated time. Long-term debt
securities are valued on the basis of dealer-supplied quotations or valuations
furnished by a pricing service. Securities for which reliable quotations are not
readily available are valued at fair market value, as determined in good faith
and pursuant to proceedings established by the Trustees. Short-term securities
with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost unless
the Trustees determine this does not represent fair value.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: The Fund now qualifies and intends to continue
qualifying as a "regulated investment company" and as such (and by complying
with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code) will not be subject
to federal income tax on taxable income (including realized capital gains)
distributed to shareholders.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS: The Fund enters into foreign exchange
contracts for the settlement of purchases and sales of securities denominated in
a foreign currency to reduce the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the
relationship between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currency. The face or
contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the Fund has in that
particular currency. In the event that the counterparty in the foreign exchange
contract fails to meet the terms of the contract, the Fund could be exposed to
the effects of changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and the
foreign currency.
RECLASSIFICATION: The Fund changed the classification of distributions to
shareholders to better disclose the differences between financial statement
amounts and distributions to shareholders in accordance with federal income tax
regulations. Accordingly, $20,339 has been reclassified to reflect an decrease
in accumulated net realized gains on investments and an increase in accumulated
net investment income.
OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income
is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts on debt securities are amortized in
accordance with Internal Revenue Code requirements. Dividend income and
distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized
and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions include the
fluctuation in exchange rates on gains and losses between trade and settlement
dates on security transactions, gains and losses arising from the disposition of
foreign currency, and currency gains and losses between the accrual and payment
dates on dividend and interest income and foreign withholding taxes. The Fund
does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from
changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising
from changes in market

STEINROE VARIABLE INVESTMENT TRUST
CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995
prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized
and unrealized gains or losses from investments. Unrealized appreciation and
depreciation and realized gains and losses differ between financial statements
and tax earnings due to deferred losses from wash sales.
2. FUND SHARE TRANSACTIONS
The Funds capitalization consists of an unlimited number of shares of
beneficial interest without par value that represents a separate series of the
Trust. Each share of the Fund represents an equal proportionate beneficial
interest in the Fund and, when issued and outstanding, is fully paid and
non-assessable. Shareholders would be entitled to share proportionally in the
net assets of the Fund available for distribution to shareholders upon
liquidation of the Fund.
3. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS
Realized gains and losses are computed on the identified cost basis for both
financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. The cost of investments
purchased and proceeds from investments sold excluding short-term investments
for the year ended December 31, 1995 are $166,531,621 and $171,663,693,
respectively.
4. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The Fund intends to distribute as dividends or capital gain distributions, at
least annually, substantially all of its net investment income and net realized
gains from the sale of portfolio securities. All dividends and distributions are
reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. Income and capital gain
distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations,
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, primarily
relating to gains and losses on foreign currency and wash sale transactions.
5. MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
The Fund pays a monthly management and administrative fee to the Adviser for
its services as investment adviser and administrator. The management fee is
computed at an annual rate of .50 of 1 percent of average daily net assets.; the
administrative fee is computed at an annual rate of .15 of 1 percent of average
daily net assets. Both of these fees are computed daily and paid monthly. For
the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund incurred fees of $686,978 and
$206,085, respectively.
The Adviser also provides the Fund with certain Fund accounting services. The
accounting fee is $25,000 annually plus .0025 of 1 percent of assets in excess
of $50 million. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund incurred fees of
$27,202.
The transfer agent fees of the Fund are paid to SteinRoe Services, Inc., an
indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Mutual Insurance Company.
In addition, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that
its expenses exceed .80 of 1 percent of average daily net assets. This expense
limitation expires April 30, 1996.

THE STRONG DISCOVERY FUND II
ANNUAL REPORT
DECEMBER 31, 1995
As I begin my thirtieth year in this business, I appreciate more than ever
what it takes to survive--and to thrive-- as a money manager. My experience has
taught me to be like a fox...to work with the pack without blindly following the
herd...to bide my time, always ready to pounce and take advantage of the
extraordinary opportunity when it presents itself.
I believe there are extraordinary opportunities out there right now for
incisive, agile money managers. A number of great, young growth companies -- in
America and abroad -- are poised to break away from their competition.
It is our goal to break away with them, using their strength and momentum to
create rewards for our shareholders.
Since its inception on May 8, 1992 through December 31, 1995 the Strong
Discovery Fund II has provided investors with a cumulative total return of
70.01%, outpacing the S&P 500 Stock Index's return of 63.88% for the same time
period.
MARKET SUMMARY
STOCKS. In 1995, two of the most influential factors that drive stock prices
- -- earnings and interest rates -- came together to create a nearly perfect
environment for U.S. common stocks. The rally was a fairly steady one, with the
S&P hitting 88 new highs during the twelve months. Most small stocks, though
they lagged their larger brethren a bit, produced solid gains, as well.
LONG BONDS. Moderate inflation and slow economic growth also helped to fuel a
robust rally in long-term bonds. The benchmark 30-year Treasury bond's yield
dropped to 5.95% by December 31 from 7.88% a year ago.
SHORT BONDS. Interest rates fell at the short end of the market, too.
Although, thanks primarily to the Federal Reserve's moderated monetary policy,
they dropped less than long rates did. After raising rates in February, the
central bank lowered its federal funds rate twice, in July and in December. The
easing, however, totaled just 50 basis points (0.50%) for the year, leaving the
yield curve -- the spread between short- and long-term rates--fairly flat.
Overall, 1995 was an excellent year for most investments, and we're proud to
be able to include the Strong Discovery Fund II among that group. By balancing
the Fund's holdings among a mix of resurgent, blue-chip companies and smaller,
rapidly growing companies, we were able to create a total return of 35.26% for
the year.
STRATEGY REVIEW
STEADFAST COMMITMENT TO STOCKS. Throughout the year, we maintained a bullish
exposure to U.S. common stocks. Three key factors led us to hold our course:
(1) two years of robust corporate-earnings growth,
(2) the poor performance of the market in 1994, and
(3) our view that interest rates would decline.
Our willingness to stick with a market that many believed was topping out
helped the Fund participate fully in the market's year-long rally.
SELECTED THEMES. As ever, our approach to managing the portfolio included
healthy measures of both bottom-up stock selection and theme-oriented research.
For example, with the help of our energetic staff of analysts, we were able to
take advantage of the year's strong surge in technology stocks.
In fact, a number of our holdings in this sector were among the portfolio's
top performers. Examples include McAfee Associates, a California firm that
specializes in computer-virus software, and CBT Group PLC, which develops,
publishes, and markets software for networked and stand-alone personal
computers.
By year end, however, we had begun taking profits, reducing our technology
exposure significantly. As of December 31, technology issues accounted for 29.8%
of the portfolio, down from a high of 50.3% at the end of September.

THE STRONG DISCOVERY FUND II
ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995
In addition to identifying sectors we believe show greater-than-average
opportunity, we also seek to identify areas of the market that may be headed for
trouble. The aging baby-boom generation, if it follows historical patterns,
should soon begin to consume less and save more. This is not good news for most
U.S. retailers. As a result, we have significantly under-weighted this sector in
the portfolio.
OPPORTUNISTIC USE OF BONDS. Late in the year, with the economy slowing and
interest rates headed down further, we moved a portion of the portfolio into
long-term bonds. As a result, we were able to lock in some attractive long-term
yields.
OUR OUTLOOK
Overall, our outlook for U.S. stocks remains favorable. All the key variables
are pointed in the right direction: growth is moderate, inflation is low, and we
expect interest rates to ease further.
We all must keep in mind, however, that the market's huge run up in 1995 is a
lot for the system to digest. Unless the Fed is willing to take more aggressive
action to fuel the economy, the prospects for corporate earnings are, if not
dim, certainly diminished, especially when compared to last year.
Still, we wholeheartedly believe that there are terrific investment
opportunities out there for those investors who know where to look.
Thank you for choosing the Strong Discovery Fund II to help meet your
investment needs.
Sincerely,
Richard S. Strong
Portfolio Manager

investment in the Fund, made at its inception, with a similar investment in the
Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index, an unmanaged index generally representative
of the U.S. stock market. Results include the reinvestment of all dividends and
capital gains distributions. Source for the index data is Micropal. Performance
is historical and does not represent future results. Investment returns and
principal value vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares.
* The Fund's return includes the effect of deducting the Fund's expenses, but do
not include charges and expenses attributable to any particular insurance
product. Excluding such fees and expenses from the Fund's return quotations
has the effect of increasing the performance quoted.

THE STRONG DISCOVERY FUND II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. ORGANIZATION
The Strong Discovery Fund II is a diversified series of the Strong Variable
Insurance Funds, Inc., an open-end management investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
SECURITY VALUATION: Portfolio securities traded primarily on a principal
securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or the mean
between the latest bid and asked prices where no last sales price is available.
Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and
asked prices or the last reported sales price. Debt securities not traded on a
principal securities exchange are valued through valuation obtained from a
commercial pricing service, otherwise sale or bid prices are used. Securities
for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value
as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by
and under the general supervision of the Board of Directors. Securities which
are purchased within 60 days of their stated maturity are valued at amortized
cost, which approximates current value.
The Fund may own certain investment securities which are restricted as to
resale. These securities are valued after giving due consideration to pertinent
factors, including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer's
financial performance. The Fund generally bears the costs, if any, associated
with the disposition of restricted securities. Aggregate cost and fair value of
these restricted securities held at December 31, 1995 were as follows (IN
THOUSANDS):
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Aggregate Cost......................................................................... $ 230
Aggregate Fair Value................................................................... 149
Percent of Net Assets.................................................................. 0.1%
</TABLE>
FEDERAL INCOME AND EXCISE TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: It is the
Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all
of its taxable income to its shareholders in a manner which results in no tax
cost to the Fund. Therefore, no Federal income or excise tax provision is
required.
The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income
or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for Federal income
tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income and expense items
for financial statement and tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications
between net asset accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in
nature.
REALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES ON INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS: Gains or losses
realized on investment transactions are determined by comparing the identified
cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
FUTURES: Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund pledges to the
broker cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid, high-grade debt
obligations equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the exchange.
The Fund also receives from or pays to the broker an amount of cash equal to the
daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are
known as "variation margin," and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses.
When the futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal
to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened
and the value at the time it was closed.
OPTIONS: Premiums received by the Fund upon writing put or call options are
recorded as an asset with a corresponding liability which is subsequently
adjusted to the current market value of the option. When an option expires, is
exercised, or is closed, the Fund realizes a gain or loss, and the liability is
eliminated. The Fund continues to bear the risk of adverse movements in the
price of the underlying asset during the period of the option, although any
potential loss during the period would be reduced by the amount of the option
premium received.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted to U.S.
dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign
investment securities and income are converted to U.S. dollars based upon
currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and unrealized
security gains or losses is reflected as a component of such gains or losses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: Forward foreign currency
exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate and are marked-to-market
daily. The change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss.
When the contract is closed, the Fund records an exchange gain or loss equal to
the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and
the value at the time it was closed.
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT RISK: The use of futures contracts, options, foreign
denominated assets and forward foreign currency exchange contracts for purposes
of hedging the Fund's investment portfolio involves, to varying degrees,
elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of
assets and liabilities. The predominant risk with futures contracts is an
imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying
securities. Foreign denominated assets and forward foreign currency exchange
contracts may involve greater risks than domestic transactions, including
currency, political and economic, regulatory and market risks.
OTHER: Investment security transactions are recorded as of the trade date.
Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes
amortization of premium and discounts.

THE STRONG DISCOVERY FUND II, INC.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of the Strong Discovery Fund II
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Strong
Discovery Fund II (one of the portfolios constituting the Strong Variable
Insurance Funds, Inc.), including the schedule of investments in securities, as
of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the 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 periods
indicated. 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 custodians and brokers. 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 Strong
Discovery Fund II as of December 31, 1995, the results of its operations for the
year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods
indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

OUR MESSAGE TO YOU
DECEMBER 31, 1995
TCI Balanced seeks to provide investors with opportunities for capital growth
and current income through a combination of approximately 60% common stocks and
40% investment-grade fixed income securities. For the 12-month period ended
December 31, 1995, the fund posted a 21.12% return, the best calendar-year gain
since its May 1, 1991, inception. The fund did, however, trail its benchmark
blended index, which gained 28.65% for the period. The S&P 500 Index gained
37.44%.
TCI Balanced's common stock holdings are targeted to the shares of larger,
well-established companies demonstrating earnings and revenue acceleration. For
most of the year this approach proved rewarding, and shareholders benefited from
strong returns in such industries as healthcare, pharmaceuticals and technology.
Yet, as concerns about a slowing U.S. economy developed late in the period, many
investors moved to more defensively postured firms characterized by steady
(albeit unspectacular) earnings growth. Most such firms do not meet the fund's
standards for accelerating growth, but they were major components of the S&P
500's solid gains in the fourth quarter of 1995. History shows us that over time
investors will favor companies with the above-average earnings growth we seek on
your behalf.
The Federal Reserve Board raised interest rates early in the period and
lowered rates later in the year. Responding to falling interest rates, the bond
market experienced a sharp price rebound from 1994 declines, which translated
into relatively strong performance for the year. The fixed income markets
especially favored longer-term bonds. TCI Balanced focuses on less volatile
short- and intermediate-term bonds. As a result, while it provided steady income
and good performance, it did not fully share in the bond market's appreciation.
Because it is designed to be a more conservative investment, TCI Balanced is
not likely to match major stock indices in a year like 1995. Its portfolio
design of large company stocks and bonds, however, should lessen the impact of
down market years on its portfolio as compared to more aggressive funds.
TCI Balanced continues to pursue its original goal of providing shareholders
with the opportunity to invest in a portfolio of growing companies while using
bonds to reduce share-price fluctuations along the way. We will continue to
target accelerating growth in earnings and revenues for our stock holdings,
while limiting our bond holdings to investment-grade issues. We remain confident
that the fund has the potential to provide shareholders with a long-term rate of
return that could comfortably outpace the rate of inflation.
Sincerely,
[SIGNATURE] [SIGNATURE]

*Actual
**Because the assets of TCI Balanced are invested in a mix of two distinct types
of assets, we have created a Blended Index that, in addition to the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500), can serve as a comparison for the performance of
the fund. The Blended Index averages two widely known indices in the
proportions of the asset mix of the fund. Accordingly, 60% of the Blended
Index represents the S&P 500, which reflects the 60% of the fund's total
assets invested in common stocks. The remaining 40% of the Blended Index
represents the Lehman Intermediate Government/Corporate Index, which reflects
the 40% of the fund's total assets invested in bonds and other fixed income
securities. The Blended Index and the Lehman Intermediate Government/Corporate
Index for 4/30/91, the date closest to the inception date (5/1/91) of the fund
for which the indices are available, have been used for the starting points
for these indices in the graph and average annual total returns.
No expenses or fees are reflected in the S&P 500, Blended Index or the Lehman
Intermediate Government/Corporate Index. All performance illustrations for TCI
Balanced are shown net of fees and assume reinvestment of all distributions.
Past performance is not predictive of future performance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION: TCI Portfolios, Inc. is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 as an open-end diversified management investment company. Four
series of shares are currently issued as TCI Growth, TCI Balanced, TCI Advantage
and TCI International. With the exception of shares issued for the initial
capitalization of a series of the Corporation, shares may be purchased only by
insurance companies to fund the benefits of variable annuity or variable life
insurance policies. The investment objective of TCI Balanced (the Fund) is
capital growth and current income. The following significant accounting policies
related to the Fund are in accordance with accounting policies generally
accepted in the investment company industry.
SECURITY VALUATIONS: Portfolio securities traded primarily on a principal
securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, or the mean
between the latest bid and asked prices where no last sales price is available.
Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and
asked prices or, in the case of certain foreign securities, at the last reported
sales price. Debt securities not traded on a principal securities exchange are
valued through valuations obtained from a commercial pricing service or at the
mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Short-term securities are valued
at amortized cost, which approximates value. When valuations are not readily
available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by
the board of directors.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS: Security transactions are accounted for on the date
purchased or sold. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the
identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
INVESTMENT INCOME: Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld (if any) is
recorded as of the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification
in the case of certain foreign securities. Interest income is recognized on the
accrual basis and includes amortization of discounts and premiums.
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 converted into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates.
Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest 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 currency 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
currency exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and
liabilities other than portfolio securities at the end of the reporting period,
resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: The Fund may enter into forward
foreign currency exchange contracts for the purpose of settling specific
purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency or to hedge
the Fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The net U.S.
dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by
the Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are
determined daily using prevailing exchange rates.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by the Federal Reserve Bank and are designated as being held
on the Fund's behalf by its custodian under a book-entry system. The Fund
monitors the adequacy of the collateral daily and can require the seller to
provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities
pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement.
INCOME TAX STATUS: It is the policy of the Fund to distribute all taxable
income and capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated
investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly,
no provision has been made for federal or state taxes.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on
the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income are declared and
paid quarterly. Distributions from net realized gains are declared and paid
annually.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
DECEMBER 31, 1995
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 differing
treatments for foreign currency transactions and wash sales.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Certain officers and directors of the Corporation
are also officers and/or directors, and, as a group, controlling stockholders of
Twentieth Century Companies, Inc., the parent of the Corporation's investment
manager, Investors Research Corporation (IRC).
2. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
The Management Agreement with IRC provides for a monthly management fee
computed by multiplying the applicable fee for the Fund by the average daily
closing value of the Fund's net assets during the previous month. The Agreement
further provides that all expenses of the Fund, except brokerage commissions,
taxes, interest, expenses of those directors who are not considered "interested
persons" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (including counsel
fees) and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by IRC. The agreement may be
terminated by either party upon 60 days' written notice. The current annual
management fee for the Fund is 1%.
3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
The aggregate cost of investment securities purchased (excluding short-term
investments) for the year ended December 31, 1995, totaled $75,144,690 for
common stocks, $27,691,703 for U.S. Treasury and Agency obligations and
$29,392,826 for other debt obligations. Investment securities sold totaled
$61,391,578 for common stocks, $25,077,824 for U.S. Treasury and Agency
obligations and $15,085,475 for other debt obligations. On December 31, 1995,
accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments, based on the aggregate
cost of investments of $132,879,586 for federal income tax purposes, was
$17,558,586, consisting of unrealized appreciation of $17,841,143 and unrealized
depreciation of $282,557.
4. COMMITMENTS
As of December 31, 1995, the Fund had entered into forward foreign currency
exchange contracts that obligate the Fund to deliver currencies at specified
future dates. Forward contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the
amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the
risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying
the forward contract. Additionally, losses may arise if the counterparties do
not perform under the contract terms. Outstanding contracts as of December 31,
1995, were as follows:

sharply in the third quarter with a 14.01% return (compared to the S&P's 7.92%).
Hot-selling new technologies--the introduction of Windows 95 in August, for
example--contributed to the market's extended rally during this period. With
nearly half of its portfolio in technology stocks during the 12-month period,
the fund made the most of this trend. Moderate holdings in international stocks
provided a positive effect on returns as well.
In the face of growing economic uncertainty late in the year, many investors
moved from technology stocks to stocks of large, more established companies with
steady earnings, which investors typically consider to be defensive. This change
in emphasis clipped fund performance, especially in comparison with the positive
return of the S&P, which was heavily influenced by the returns of large "steady
growers" in the index.
TCI Growth, which invests in the stocks of small, medium and large companies,
is designed for investors seeking capital growth. To meet that objective the
fund seeks to single out companies with earnings and revenue acceleration
because we have found that such an approach has provided attractive returns over
the long run.
TCI Growth's continued performance (despite the recent setback in
technology-oriented companies) reaffirms to us the potential of combining
growth-oriented stocks with a disciplined buying and selling process. We
strongly believe that this strategy has the potential to provide significant
benefits to those shareholders investing to achieve long-term financial goals.
Sincerely,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION: TCI Portfolios, Inc. is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 as an open-end diversified management investment company. Four
series of shares are currently issued as TCI Growth, TCI Balanced, TCI Advantage
and TCI International. With the exception of shares issued for the initial
capitalization of a series of the Corporation, shares may be purchased only by
insurance companies to fund the benefits of variable annuity or variable life
insurance policies. The investment objective of TCI Growth (the Fund) is capital
growth. The following significant accounting policies related to the Fund are in
accordance with accounting policies generally accepted in the investment company
industry.
SECURITY VALUATIONS: Portfolio securities traded primarily on a principal
securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, or the mean
between the latest bid and asked prices where no last sales price is available.
Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and
asked prices or, in the case of certain foreign securities, at the last reported
sales price. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates value. When valuations are not readily available, securities are
valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the board of directors.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS: Security transactions are accounted for on the date
purchased or sold. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the
identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
INVESTMENT INCOME: Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld (if any) is
recorded as of the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification
in the case of certain foreign securities. Interest income is recognized on the
accrual basis and includes amortization of discounts and premiums.
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 converted into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates.
Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest 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 currency 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
currency exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and
liabilities other than portfolio securities at the end of the reporting period,
resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: The Fund may enter into forward
foreign currency exchange contracts for the purpose of settling specific
purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency or to hedge
the Fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The net U.S.
dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by
the Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are
determined daily using prevailing exchange rates.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by the Federal Reserve Bank and are designated as being held
on the Fund's behalf by its custodian under a book-entry system. The Fund
monitors the adequacy of the collateral daily and can require the seller to
provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities
pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement.
INCOME TAX STATUS: It is the policy of the Fund to distribute all taxable
income and capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated
investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly,
no provision has been made for federal or state taxes.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on
the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and net realized
gains are declared and paid annually.
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 differing
treatments for foreign currency transactions and wash sales.

The Shareholders and Board of Directors of TCI Portfolios, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, of TCI Growth (a series of TCI
Portfolios, Inc.) as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of

financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company'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 and brokers. As to
securities purchased but not received and securities sold but not delivered, we
requested confirmations from brokers, and when replies were not received, we
performed alternative 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 TCI
