FINANCIAL MARKET REVIEW BY GNA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC.
 
  During the six month period ended June 30, 1996, the financial markets
turned in what could be termed a schizophrenic performance. From January
through mid-February, the dominant themes, which were carried over from 1995,
seemed to be declining economic growth, confidence in declining inflation, and
expectations for a gradual ease in monetary policy. At one point there was
even fear that the economy might fall into recession. By mid-February,
however, there was a significant reversal in market psychology. This was
driven by a prolonged series of economic data that showed surprising strength,
especially in the employment-related statistics. From mid-February through
June, the dominant themes included expectations of increasing economic growth,
fears of increasing inflation, and disagreement as to what the Federal Reserve
would do with monetary policy. Consensus estimates for second quarter GDP
growth of +4% (annualized) compared to the year-over-year measurement of +1.7%
supported the acceleration argument. Disagreement now focuses on how much
inflation will increase rather than "if" it will increase.
 
  Driven by these forces, interest rates declined gradually into mid-February,
and then rose sharply from mid-February through the end of June, ending the
period at higher levels than they began. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index had a total return of -1.22% for the first two quarters of 1996.
Corporate profits, while presumably still growing, are doing so at a much
slower rate than a year ago. Earnings disappointments and/or deteriorating
company fundamentals have resulted in dramatic sell-offs in individual stocks
which have been masked by the +10.30% return in the Standard & Poor's 500
Stock Index for the period. To put these six month returns in perspective, the
bond market's return was below average while the stock market's return was
above average.

GNA GROWTH PORTFOLIO
VALUE LINE, INC., SUB-ADVISER
 
  For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, the Growth Portfolio had a
total return of +6.83%. In comparison, the unmanaged S&P 500 Index had a total
return of +10.30%, and the Morningstar Growth category of 800+ funds had an
average total return of +10.35%.
 
  Being growth-oriented, the Portfolio carries a higher than normal position in
technology and health care related stocks. These sectors have lagged the market
since the middle of 1995, putting pressure on year-to-date performance. Due to
the difficult environment, the Portfolio remains very widely diversified across
about 90 different stocks, and carries a bit more cash than normal. The cash
cushion serves both as a protection against market volatility and as a source
of funds for opportune purchases.

GNA VALUE PORTFOLIO
DUFF & PHELPS INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CO., SUB-ADVISER
 
  For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, the Value Portfolio had a
total return of +7.71%. In comparison, the unmanaged S&P 500 Index had a total
return of +10.30%, and the Morningstar Equity-Income category of 100+ funds
had an average total return of +7.37%.
 
  Shifting the Portfolio's emphasis to cyclical and financial sectors
benefited performance, as the economy showed resiliency and these sectors
performed well. Overweighting bank stocks during the period benefited
performance, as the largest holding, Chase Manhattan, significantly
outperformed the market. Reducing the weighting in petroleum stocks benefited
performance, as major oil stocks underperformed the market. The Portfolio's
position in telephone stocks, both regional and long-distance companies, hurt
performance, as increasing competition in that sector caused those stocks to
significantly underperform the market. The position in regional telephone
companies was recently reduced.

GNA GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO
GNA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC., ADVISER
 
  For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, the Government Portfolio had a
total return of -1.19%. In comparison, the unmanaged Lehman Brothers Government
Bond Index had a total return of -1.80%, and the Morningstar Government Bond--
General category of 300+ funds had an average total return of -1.49%.
 
  The performance of the Government Portfolio was helped somewhat by a slight
overweighting in the short end of the market. Two-year bonds maintained their
value better than ten-year bonds as interest rates rose during the latter
portion of the period. The advantage of being able to buy some Mortgage-Backed
Securities (MBS) at cheaper levels, with their higher yields, also contributed
to the performance of the Portfolio, as MBSs outperformed Treasuries during the
six month period.

GNA ADJUSTABLE RATE PORTFOLIO
STANDISH, AYER & WOOD, INC., SUB-ADVISER
 
 
  For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, the Adjustable Rate Portfolio
had a total return of +1.52%. In comparison, the unmanaged Lehman Brothers ARM
Index had a total return of +2.25%, and the Morningstar Government Bond--ARM
category of 50+ funds had an average total return of +1.89%.
 
  The lag in performance relative to the index and the peer group can be mostly
attributed to the Portfolio's slightly longer duration in a rising interest
rate environment. The Portfolio's bullish bias (longer duration) during this
period was supported by the Sub-Adviser's view that strong economic growth
could not be sustained in the second half and that the market was oversold. To
a lesser degree, the Portfolio's bias toward GNMA ARMs over FHLMC and FNMA ARMs
also negatively impacted performance. FHLMC and FNMA ARMs tended to outperform
their GNMA counterparts, due to the more flexible (less restricted) adjustment
of their adjustable interest rates.

NOTES TO PERFORMANCE
 
  Total returns assume changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains. Investment returns and principal values will fluctuate so that
an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the origi-
nal cost.
 
  Total returns include the effect of deducting each Portfolio's expenses, but
do not include charges and expenses attributable to the Power Portfolio Vari-
able Annuity. If total returns included the effects of these charges and ex-
penses, the performance figures for each Portfolio would have been lower.
Please review the Power Portfolio Variable Annuity prospectus for information
on the relevant charges and expenses. Additionally, the Adviser has agreed to
waive or limit certain expenses as described in detail in each Portfolio's pro-
spectus. Had the Adviser not absorbed a portion of expenses, total returns
would have been lower.
 
  The Lehman Government Bond Index, S&P 500 Stock Index and the Lehman Brothers
ARM Index are unmanaged indices and do not reflect the actual cost of investing
in the instruments that comprise each index. The results shown for the forego-
ing indices assume reinvestment of net dividends.
 
  The views expressed in this report reflect those of the Adviser only through
June 30, 1996, the end of the period of this report. The Adviser's views are
subject to change at any time based on market and other conditions.

NOTES:
(a) The investments in mortgage-backed securities are interests in separate
    pools of mortgages. All such issues which have similar coupon rates, have
    been aggregated for financial statement presentation purposes.
(b) Effective maturities for all securities may be shorter than indicated due
    to prepayments.
(c) Risks associated with Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMO's")-The
    net asset value of the Portfolio is sensitive to interest rate fluctua-
    tions associated with CMO's. CMO's are obligations collateralized by a
    portfolio of mortgages or mortgage-related securities. Payments of princi-
    pal and interest on the mortgages are passed through to the holder of the
    CMO's on the same schedule as they are received, although certain classes
    of CMO's have priority over others with respect to the receipt of prepay-
    ments on the mortgages. Therefore, an investment in CMO's may be subject
    to a greater or lesser risk of prepayments than other types of mortgage-
    related securities.
(d) Collateral for open futures and options contracts (Note 3).
(e) See Note 3 for cost for federal income tax purposes and related gross
    unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
(f) At June 30, 1996, open futures contracts purchased and sold short were as
    follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.ORGANIZATION OF THE PORTFOLIOS. GNA Variable Series Trust (the "Trust") is
organized as a Delaware Business Trust under a Declaration of Trust dated
March 25, 1994, amended and restated August 22, 1994 and is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The Trust is a series of funds, currently com-
prised of four investment portfolios (the "Portfolios"), the GNA Growth Port-
folio, the GNA Value Portfolio, the GNA Government Portfolio and the GNA Ad-
justable Rate Portfolio that commenced operations as of January 3, 1995.
Shares of the Trust are offered only to a separate account of Great Northern
Insured Annuity Corporation, an affiliated insurance company which funds cer-
tain variable annuity contracts. As of June 30, 1996, the affiliated insurance
company controlled the Portfolios by virtue of ownership of all of the Portfo-
lios' shares of beneficial interest.
 
2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. The preparation of the Portfolios' finan-
cial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed consist-
ently by the Portfolios.
 
  Securities Valuation. Securities (including options) listed or traded on an
exchange or quoted on NASDAQ are valued at their last sale prices prior to the
time when assets are valued. Lacking any sales on that day, securities are
valued at the mean between the current closing bid and asked prices. Other se-
curities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the
mean of the bid and asked quotations quoted prior to the time when assets are
valued ("market value"). Certain securities are valued primarily utilizing
such pricing services as may be deemed appropriate. The pricing services uti-
lize information with respect to market transactions, quotations from dealers
and various relationships among securities in determining value and may pro-
vide prices determined as of times prior to the close of the New York Stock
Exchange. Investments in certain long-term debt securities not traded in an
organized market are valued primarily based on market quotations provided by
recognized dealers of such securities. Other securities for which market quo-
tations are not readily available, such as restricted securities, or where
pricing occurs during periods of market disruption, are valued in good faith
by or under the authority of the Trustees of the Trust. Short-term investments
maturing within 60 days are valued at original cost plus accreted discount or
accrued interest which approximates market value.
 
  Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income. Sales and purchases
are accounted for as of trade date. Realized securities gains or losses are
determined using the identified cost method for both financial and tax report-
ing purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest
income is accrued pro rata to maturity. Original issue discount is accreted
for financial and tax accounting purposes.

  Futures Contracts. Each of the Portfolios may purchase and sell futures con-
tracts, subject to certain limitations. The GNA Government Portfolio uses in-
terest rate futures contracts as a hedge against changes in interest rates.
Upon entering into a futures contract, each Portfolio is required to deposit
with a broker an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of
the face amount of the futures contract. Subsequent payments ("variation mar-
gin") are made or received by the Portfolio each day, dependent on the daily
fluctuations in the value of the unrealized gains and losses by the Portfolio.
If the Portfolio enters into a closing transaction, the Portfolio will real-
ize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the
value of the futures contract to sell and the futures contract to buy. The
Portfolio may be subject to risk upon entering into futures contracts result-
ing from the imperfect correlation of prices between the futures and securi-
ties markets.
 
  Options on Futures Contracts. Each Portfolio may purchase and sell listed
call and put options on futures contracts. The GNA Government Portfolio uses
options on interest rate futures contracts as a hedge against changes in in-
terest rates. Options are valued in accordance with the security valuations
policies described above. Transactions in options on futures contracts involve
similar risks to those on futures contracts.
 
  Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis. Each Portfolio may enter into
firm commitment agreements ("TBA" or "when-issued" purchases) for the purchase
of securities at an agreed-upon price on a specified future date. A Portfolio
will not enter into such agreements for the purpose of investment leverage.
 
  Liability for the purchase price and all the rights and risks of ownership
of the securities accrue to a Portfolio at the time it becomes obligated to
purchase the securities, although delivery and payment occur at a later date,
generally within 45 days (but not to exceed 120 days) of the date of the com-
mitment to purchase. Accordingly, if the market price of the security should
decline, the effect of the agreement would be to obligate the Portfolio to
purchase the security at the price above the current market price on the date
of delivery and payment. During the time the Portfolio is obligated to pur-
chase such securities, it will segregate with the Custodian U.S. government
securities, cash or cash equivalents (or a receivable for investment sold in
connection therewith) of an aggregate current value sufficient to make payment
for the securities.
 
  Repurchase Agreements. Each Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements
in order to generate additional income. Each repurchase agreement entered into
by a Portfolio will provide that the value of the collateral underlying the
repurchase agreement will always be at least 102% of the repurchase price, in-
cluding accrued interest, except for repurchase agreements entered into with a
broker/dealer or bank whose unsecured debt is rated AAA or whose commercial
paper is rated A-1 by Standard and Poor's or P-1 by Moody's, in which case the
value of the collateral will always be at least 100% of the repurchase price,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED

including accrued interest. A Portfolio will not enter into a repurchase
agreement having more than seven days remaining to maturity if, as a result,
such agreements, together with any other securities which are not readily mar-
ketable, would exceed 10% of the net assets of the Portfolio. In addition, not
more than one-third of the current market value of the Portfolio's total as-
sets shall constitute secured "loans" by the Portfolio under repurchase agree-
ments.
 
  Federal Income Taxes. As a Delaware Business Trust, each Portfolio is a sep-
arate corporate taxpayer and determines its net investment income and capital
gains (or losses) and the amounts to be distributed to the Portfolio's share-
holders without regard to the income and capital gains (or losses) of the
other Portfolios. It is the intent of the Portfolios to comply with the re-
quirements of the Internal Revenue Code which are applicable to regulated in-
vestment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income
and realized gains to their shareholders. Accordingly, the Portfolios paid no
federal income taxes and no federal income tax provisions were required. For
Federal income tax purposes, any futures contracts or options on futures con-
tracts which remain open at fiscal year-end are marked-to-market and the re-
sultant net gain or loss is included in Federal taxable income.
 
  Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income for the GNA Growth
Portfolio is declared and paid annually. Net investment income for the GNA
Value Portfolio is declared and paid quarterly. Net investment income for the
GNA Government and GNA Adjustable Rate Portfolios are declared as dividends to
shareholders of record as of the close of business each day and are paid to
shareholders monthly. During any particular year, net realized gains from in-
vestment transactions in excess of any available capital loss carryforwards,
would be taxable to the Portfolios if not distributed and, therefore, will be
declared and paid to their shareholders annually.
 
  Capital Accounts. The Portfolios report the undistributed net investment in-
come (accumulated net investment loss) and accumulated net realized gain
(loss) accounts on a basis approximating amounts available for future tax dis-
tributions (or to offset future taxable realized gains when a capital loss
carryforward is available). Accordingly, the Portfolios may periodically make
reclassifications among certain capital accounts without impacting the net as-
set value of the Portfolios.
 
  Prepaid Expenses. Costs incurred for registration of shares are amortized on
a straight-line basis over the lesser of, the duration of the registration pe-
riod or 12 months.
 
  Deferred Organizational Costs. Costs incurred by the Trust in connection
with its organization and of the Portfolios have been deferred ratably and are
being amortized over a 60 month period on a straight-line basis beginning at
the commencement of operations of the Portfolios.

  Expenses. Expenses such as management fees, custodian fees, transfer agent
fees, and registration fees are charged directly to the Portfolios, while in-
direct expenses, such as audit fees, legal fees, trustee fees and expenses,
and insurance are allocated among the Portfolios principally based on their
relative net assets.

4.MANAGEMENT, DISTRIBUTION AND TRUSTEES' FEES. Under Advisory agreements be-
tween the Portfolios and GNA Capital Management, Inc. ("the Adviser"), each
Portfolio agrees to pay the Adviser a fee based on its average daily net assets
as follows:
 
  GNA Growth Portfolio. The Adviser's fee is calculated based upon the Portfo-
lio's average daily net assets, equal to an annual rate of .80% of the first
$100 million and .70% of average daily net assets in excess of $100 million.
 
  GNA Value Portfolio. The Adviser's fee is calculated at an annual rate of
0.80% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio if the average daily net
assets of the Portfolio and the Investors Trust Value Fund, a series of another
affiliated registered investment company, ("Combined Average Daily Net Assets")
equals to $100 million or less, and 0.70% of the Portfolio's average daily net
assets if the Combined Average Daily Net Assets exceeds $100 million. For the
six months ended June 30, 1996, the Adviser's fee was equivalent to an annual
effective rate of 0.80%.
 
  GNA Government Portfolio. The Adviser's fee is calculated at an annual rate
of 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio if the average daily
net assets of the Portfolio and the Investors Trust Government Fund, a series
of another affiliated registered investment company, ("Combined Average Daily
Net Assets") equals to $500 million or less, 0.60% of the Portfolio's average
daily net assets if the Combined Average Daily Net Assets is greater than $500
million and is equal to or less than $750 million, 0.55% of the Portfolio's
average daily net assets if the Combined Average Daily Net Assets is greater
than $750 million and is equal to or less than $1.25 billion, 0.50% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets if the Combined Average Daily Net Assets
is equal to or less than $1.5 billion and 0.45% of the Portfolio's average
daily net assets if the Combined Average Daily Net Assets exceed $1.5 billion.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Adviser's fee was equivalent to an
annual effective rate of 0.55%.

  GNA Adjustable Rate Portfolio. The Adviser's fee is calculated at an annual
rate of .40% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.
 
  The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Portfolios, for expenses incurred by
the Portfolios to the extent that such expenses exceed the following percent-
ages of each Portfolio's average daily net assets during the six month period
ended June 30, 1996:

</TABLE>
 
  The expense reimbursement may be extended or modified by the Adviser. The
reimbursement for expenses by the Adviser is being offset by the payables to
the Adviser monthly. Any amount due from the Adviser in excess of the amounts
due to the Adviser is settled in cash within 15 days following month end.
 
  The Portfolios' Advisory agreements also provide that if, in any fiscal
year, the total of certain specified expenses of any of the Portfolios exceed
the expense limitations applicable to the Portfolios imposed by the securities
regulations of any state in which they are then registered to sell shares, the
Adviser will waive all or a portion of its management fee equal to such ex-
cess. The Adviser is only required to reimburse the Portfolios for any ex-
penses which exceed state expense limitations up to the amount of management
fees paid or payable by the Portfolios during such fiscal year.
 
  The Adviser has retained the following portfolio managers ("Sub-Advisers")
for the Portfolios. These Sub-Advisers are responsible for the actual invest-
ment management of the Portfolio's assets (including the placement of broker-
age orders), under the general supervision of the Adviser and the Board of
Trustees.

ate share of a fee of: (1) an annual fee of $2,000; and (2) a fee of $250 for
each meeting of the Board of Trustees attended plus all reasonable expenses
associated with attendance at such meetings. The proportionate rate is allo-
cated among the portfolios principally based on their relative net assets. No
remuneration is paid by the Trust to any Trustee or officer of the Portfolio
who is affiliated with the Adviser.

FINANCIAL MARKET REVIEW BY GE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC.
 
  The U.S. equity market continued to forge ahead during 1996 supported by un-
precedented cash flows into stock funds. In the first half of 1996 individuals
invested nearly as much as they did during all of 1995, a record $128 billion.
Mixed signals about inflation and the overall strength of the economy contin-
ued to drive short term volatility in the market. Nevertheless, U.S. stocks
generated a total return of 10.3% year-to-date as measured by the S&P 500.
 
  International equity market returns continued to lag behind the U.S. market
as they have since 1994. The MSCI EAFE Index was up 4.5% year-to-date, hurt
most by weakness in the Japanese Yen which fell about 6.0%. We continue to
find European market valuations attractive relative to other global markets,
driven primarily by corporate restructuring and an increase in merger and ac-
quisition activity by multi-nationals.
 
  The U.S. fixed income market turned in a lackluster performance during the
first half of 1996, hampered by anxiety over mixed economic indicators. Re-
ported employment gains have been particularly strong suggesting economic
strength. Many market watchers are anticipating the next Federal Reserve ac-
tion to be a tightening of monetary policy as evidenced by the 1% increase in
U.S. Treasury yields since December. The Lehman Brothers Taxable Bond index
generated a six month return of -1.2%, giving back a small portion of 1995's
strong performance.
 
  Domestic equity market valuations continue to loom at high levels. When
combined with mixed news about the strength of the economy and the dynamics of
a presidential election, we expect market volatility to continue throughout
the year. We remain confident, however, that the long term prospects for the
financial markets are good based on strong underlying fundamentals such as
plenty of liquidity, controlled inflation and low interest rates.

NOTES TO PERFORMANCE (UNAUDITED)

Total returns assume changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains. Investment returns and principal value on an investment will
fluctuate and you may have a loss or gain when you sell your shares.
 
GEIM has voluntarily agreed to waive and/or bear certain fees and Portfolio
expenses. Without these provisions, the returns would have been lower. These
provisions may be terminated in the future.
 
The Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks (S&P 500), MSCI Europe
Australia Far East Index (MSCI EAFE), Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (LB
Aggregate) and the 90 Day U.S. Treasury Index (90 Day T-Bill) are unmanaged
indices and do not reflect the actual cost of investing in the instruments
that comprise each index. The S&P 500 Index is a composite of the prices of
500 widely held U.S. stocks recognized by investors to be representative of
the stock market in general. The MSCI EAFE is a composite of 1,112 stocks of
companies in 20 countries located in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the
Far East. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a composite index of
short-, medium-, and long-term bond performance and is widely recognized as a
barometer of the bond market in general. The 90-Day U.S. Treasury Bill is the
average return on three month U.S. Treasury Bills. The results shown for the
foregoing indices assume reinvestment of net dividends or interest. Broad mar-
ket index returns are calculated from the nearest month end to the Portfolios'
inception date. The majority of the broad market returns are not available
from the Portfolios' commencement of investment operations through June 30,
1996.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, JUNE 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED)

1.ORGANIZATION OF THE PORTFOLIOS. Variable Investment Trust (the "Trust") is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust was formed as a
Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust (as amended)
on February 25, 1994. The Declaration authorizes the Trust's Trustees to
create separate series, each with an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest. The Trust is comprised of five investment portfolios (the
"Portfolios") only four of which are currently being offered through the Power
Portfolio Variable Annuity, as follows: GE U.S. Equity Portfolio, GE
International Equity Portfolio, GE Fixed Income Portfolio and GE Money Market
Portfolio.
 
  Shares of the Trust are offered only to insurance company separate accounts
that fund certain variable contracts. These insurance companies may include
insurance companies affiliated with GE Investment Management Incorporated
("GEIM"), the investment adviser and administrator of each Portfolio. As of
June 30, 1996, Great Northern Insured Annuity Corporation, an affiliated
insurance company, controlled the Portfolios by ownership of virtually all of
the Portfolios' shares of beneficial interest. The Trust may in the future
offer shares of some or all of the Portfolios to variable life insurance
separate accounts.
 
  The investment objective of GE U.S. Equity Portfolio is long-term growth of
capital, which the Portfolio seeks to achieve through investment primarily in
equity securities of U.S. companies. The investment objective of GE
International Equity Portfolio is long-term growth of capital, which the
Portfolio seeks to achieve by investing primarily in foreign equity
securities. The investment objective of GE Fixed Income Portfolio is to seek
maximum income consistent with prudent investment management and the
preservation of capital, which the Portfolio seeks to achieve by investing in
fixed income securities. The investment objective of GE Money Market Portfolio
is to seek a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of
capital and the maintenance of liquidity, which the Portfolio seeks to achieve
by investing in a defined group of short-term, U.S. dollar denominated money
market instruments.
 
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the Trust:
 
  Security Valuation and Transactions. Securities for which exchange
quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no
sales occurred on that day, at the last quoted bid price. Certain fixed income
securities are valued by a dealer or by a pricing service based upon a
computerized matrix system, which considers market transactions and dealer
supplied valuations.
 
  Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by
the board of trade or exchange on which they are principally traded. Options
that

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED

are written or purchased are valued using the mean between the last asked and
bid prices. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the mean between
the bid and the offered forward rates as last quoted by a recognized dealer.
 
  Short term investments maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost
or original cost plus accrued interest, each of which approximates market
value.
 
  Portfolio positions which cannot be valued as set forth above are valued at
fair value under procedures approved by the Trustees.
 
  GE Money Market Portfolio values its securities using the amortized cost
method, which values securities initially at cost and thereafter assumes a
constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Amortized cost
approximates market value.
 
  Transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Cost is determined and
gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both
financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
 
  The Portfolios may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward
commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after the
date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date
when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the
transaction is negotiated. This may increase the risk if the other party
involved in the transaction fails to deliver and causes the Portfolio to
subsequently invest at less advantageous yields. In connection with such
purchases, the Portfolio is required to hold collateral (cash, U.S. Government
securities or other liquid, high grade debt obligations) with the Portfolios'
custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price, unless they enter into an
offsetting contract for the sale of equal securities and value.
 
  Foreign Currency. Accounting records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S.
dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities and purchases
and sales of investment securities denominated in a foreign currency are
translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective
dates of such transactions.
 
  The Portfolios do 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 prices of securities held. Such
fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss
from investments. Reported net realized exchange gains or losses from foreign
currency transactions represent sale of foreign currencies, currency gains or
losses between the trade date and the settlement date on securities
transactions, realized gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts,
and the difference between the amounts of
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VARIABLE INVESTMENT TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED

dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolios'
books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or
paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in
the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at
fiscal year end, as a result of changes in the exchange rate.
 
  Income Taxes. It is each Portfolio's policy to comply with all sections of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and
therefore no provision for federal income tax has been made. Each Portfolio is
treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.
 
  Investment Income. Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded
net of nonreclaimable tax withholdings on the ex-dividend date, except for
certain foreign securities for which corporate actions are recorded as soon as
such information is available. Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis. All discounts on taxable bonds are amortized to call or maturity date,
whichever is shorter using the effective yield method.
 
  Expenses. Expenses of the Trust which are directly identifiable to a
specific Portfolio are allocated to that Portfolio. Expenses which are not
readily identifiable to a specific Portfolio are allocated in such a manner as
deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and
the relative sizes of the Portfolios. All expenses of the Portfolios are paid
by the Investment Adviser and reimbursed by the Portfolios up to the voluntary
expense limitations.
 
  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 at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those
estimates.
 
  Distributions to Shareholders. GE Fixed Income Portfolio and GE Money Market
Portfolio declare investment income dividends daily and pay monthly. GE U.S.
Equity Portfolio and GE International Equity Portfolio declare and pay
dividends of net investment income annually. All Portfolios declare and pay
net realized capital gain distributions annually. The character of income and
gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These differences include treatment of realized and unrealized gains and
losses on forward foreign currency contracts, paydown gains and losses on
mortgage-backed securities, losses on wash sale transactions, and deferred
organization expenses. Reclassifications are made to the Portfolios' capital
accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available
capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations. The calculation of net
investment income per share in the Financial Highlights table excludes these
adjustments.

  Deferred Organizational Costs. Organizational expenses applicable to the
Portfolios have been deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis
over a period of five years from commencement of investment operations.
 
  Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolios' custodian takes possession of the
collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements on behalf of the
Portfolios. It is the policy of the Portfolios to value the underlying
collateral daily on a mark-to-market basis to determine that the value,
including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the
event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Portfolios have the right
to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the
obligation.
 
  Futures and Options. The Portfolios, other than the GE Money Market
Portfolio, may invest in futures contracts and purchase and write options.
These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and
risks in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and
Liabilities. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent of the involvement
the Portfolios have in the particular classes of these instruments. Risks may
be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the
instruments and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates.
Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid secondary market for the
instruments, or an inability of counterparties to perform. The Portfolios will
invest in these instruments to hedge against the effects of changes in value of
portfolio securities due to anticipated changes in interest rates and/or market
conditions, to equitize a cash position, for duration management, or when the
transactions are economically appropriate to the reduction of risk inherent in
the management of the Portfolio involved.
 
  Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit
either cash or securities in an amount (initial margin) equal to a certain
percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are
made or received by the Portfolio each day. The variation margin payments are
equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized
gains and losses. The Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss when the
futures contract is closed. The Portfolio will realize a gain or loss upon the
expiration or closing of an option transaction. When an option is exercised,
the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a
written put option, or the proceeds on the sale of the security for a purchased
put or cost of the security for a call option is adjusted by the amount of
premium received or paid.
 
  Other. There are certain additional risks involved when investing in foreign
securities that are not inherent in domestic securities. These risks may
involve foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, adverse political and
economic developments and the imposition of unfavorable foreign governmental
laws and restrictions.
