              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.

                 As  always, we  appreciate your  business and  are committed to
              satisfying your financial service needs. Please let us know how we
              can better serve you.

EQUITY GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
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

FEDERATED INVESTORS
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.

  principal  value will fluctuate  so that an  investor's shares, when redeemed,
  may be worth more or less than their original cost.

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.
 
                                                                ----------------

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
  INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE:  Federated Advisers, the  Fund's investment  adviser,

This  fee is based  on the size,  type, and number  of accounts and transactions

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.

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.
 
                                                                ----------------

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:

FEDERATED INVESTORS
U.S. GOVERNMENT BOND FUND
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.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW (CONTINUED)
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.

INVESCO VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS, INC.
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW (CONTINUED)
JANUARY 1996
 
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.

INVESCO VARIABLE INVESTMENT FUNDS, INC.
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.
 
                                                                ----------------
                                                                              56

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>
 
  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:

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.

JANUS ASPEN GROWTH PORTFOLIO
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.
 
                                                                ----------------
                                                                              75

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.
 
                                                                ----------------
                                                                              79

  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,
                                                       [SIGNATURE]

LEXINGTON EMERGING MARKETS FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Lexington  Emerging Markets Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end diversified
management investment company  registered under  the Investment  Company Act  of
1940, as amended. The Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term growth of
capital primarily through investment in equity securities of companies domiciled
in,  or  doing business  in emerging  countries and  emerging markets.  With the
exception of shares held in connection with initial capital of the Fund,  shares
of the Fund are currently being offered to participating insurance companies for
allocation  to  certain accounts  for the  purpose  of funding  variable annuity
contracts issued by  the participating insurance  companies. The Fund  commenced
operations  on March  30, 1994.  The following is  a summary  of the significant
accounting policies followed  by the Fund  in the preparation  of its  financial
statements:
 
  SECURITIES:   Security transactions  are accounted for on  a trade date basis.
Realized gains  and losses  from  investment transactions  are reported  on  the
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.
 
                                                                ----------------

</TABLE>
 
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.

    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.
 
                                                                ----------------
                                                                              99

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.

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
 
                                                                ----------------
                                                                             111

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.
 
                                                                ----------------
                                                                             112

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of SteinRoe Variable Investment Trust
 
We  have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, of Capital Appreciation Fund, a constituent Fund of
SteinRoe Variable Investment  Trust, 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  years presented.  These financial  statements  and
financial  highlights  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Funds  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. 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
Capital Appreciation Fund 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  years
presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

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.
 
                                                                ----------------
                                                                             114

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

  This graph, prepared in  accordance with SEC  regulations, compares a  $10,000
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

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.
 
                                                                ----------------
                                                                             129

THE STRONG DISCOVERY FUND II
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.

TCI PORTFOLIOS, INC.
TCI BALANCED
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.

TCI PORTFOLIOS, INC.
TCI BALANCED
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

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:

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  Balanced  (a  series  of  TCI
Portfolios,  Inc.)  as  of  December  31, 1995,  and  the  related  statement of
operations,  the  statements  of  changes  in  net  assets,  and  the  financial
highlights  for each  of the periods  indicated. These  financial statements and
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. 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
Balanced  as of December 31, 1995, and  the results of their operations, changes
in their  net assets,  and the  financial  highlights for  each of  the  periods
indicated in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

TCI GROWTH
OUR MESSAGE TO YOU
DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
  TCI  Growth reported  a gain of  31.10% for  the 12 months  ended December 31,
1995,  reflecting  the  year's  powerful  market  climb.  According  to   Lipper
Analytical  Services, the average total return  for funds with growth investment
objectives was 30.79% during the period.  The S&P 500 index returned 37.44%  for
the 12 months.
 
  TCI  Growth's  best gains  came  during the  year's  first three  quarters. It
climbed steadily in the first half of  the period with a 19.47% gain and  surged
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,

TCI PORTFOLIOS, INC.
TCI GROWTH
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.
 
                                                                ----------------
                                                                             161

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
 
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
operations,  the  statements  of  changes  in  net  assets,  and  the  financial
highlights  for each  of the periods  indicated. These  financial statements and
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
