Comments by these individuals in the following paragraphs summarize in capsule form the general strategy and results of each Fund for 2002. The accompanying graphs display results for the past 10 years or the life of the Fund, whichever is shorter. Average annual total return figures provided for each Fund in the graphs reflect all expenses of the Fund, the maximum sales charge (Class A Shares) or contingent deferred sales charge (Class B Shares) and assume all distributions are reinvested at net asset value. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Returns and net asset values fluctuate. Shares are redeemable at current net asset value, which may be more or less than original cost. The various indices included in the following graphs are unmanaged and do not reflect any commissions or fees which would be incurred by an investor purchasing the securities included in the index. Investors cannot invest directly into these or any indices.

LOGO The Principal Balanced Fund underperformed the 60% S&P500 / 40% Lehman Aggregate Index for the year primarily due to the fund's early overweighting in equities. For the one-year period ended October 31, 2003, the fund returned 13.52% compared to 14.50% for the index. Individual security selection was mixed throughout the period, but the overweighting in equities throughout the year was negative early in the year, but added value later. The fund's overweighted position in value companies had a negative impact on the portfolio since lower quality growth companies outperformed. International exposure for the fund was positive for overall performance. The fixed income portion of the fund added value due to security specific outperformance. The equity markets moved down during the early part of the year, but rebounded in the most recent period. Continued progress on corporate earnings and improved profits have supported higher equity prices. The improved economy has been positive for both companies and consumers. The rising equity markets have improved investor confidence and strengthened corporate spending. The fixed income markets benefited from lower yields as the Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained a stimulative policy to reduce the rate on short-term investments. The difference in corporate bond yields relative to Treasuries tended to narrow during the year, as business fundamentals improved. Yields have begun to rebound from the very low rates of the early summer, but are still at low overall levels. The completion of major hostilities in Iraq and a more favorable economic environment with low inflation expectations have been supportive of improved financial markets. Consumer and investor confidence is improving as their financial assets show positive growth. Corporations have improved productivity and are operating more efficiently with improved financial results and stronger balancesheets. The low interest rate environment continues to put pressures on corporate pension liabilities, but improved financial markets are boosting the assets in these accounts. The fund continues to maintain a diversified position with investments in domestic equities, foreign equities and domestic fixed income securities. The fund is maintaining an overweighted position in stocks vs. bonds, as improved fundamentals support the higher equity prices. PRINCIPAL CAPITAL VALUE FUND, INC.

LOGO During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, the market rose as an economic recovery gathered momentum. Production, consumer spending and disposable personal income all rose nicely toward the end of the period, and employment stabilized with leading indicators painting a better picture for the future. Companies that benefit the most from a strong economy led the advance, e.g., those in the technology, industrials and basic materials sectors. Interest rates rose, reflecting the better economic news. After three years of disappointment, investor skepticism understandably still abounds. With layoffs down, hiring picking up and capital spending rising, the U.S. economic future looks brighter. The Principal Capital Value Fund underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, posting a 19.23% total return compared to 22.88% for the index. With the success of the war in Iraq in addition to the improving economy, many companies that still exhibited poor fundamentals rose sharply in the hope that their results would rise in the new post-recession and war scenario. Our process focuses on companies where the fundamentals already exhibit improvement, so our holdings did not always rise in such a dramatic fashion as those firms with poor current business fundamentals. We maintain our outlook for an improving economy over the next several quarters. Rising interest rates have the potential to mute this impact. In managing equity portfolios, our investment philosophy is based on the belief that superior stock selection is the key to consistent and repeatable outperformance. Further, we believe that the key to superior stock selection lies in the identification of companies with the following attributes: 1) improving business fundamentals, 2) sustainability of the improvement, 3) rising investor expectations, and 4) attractive relative valuation. Our equity portfolio construction process reflects an active, bottom-up style of management where security selection is the key driver of excess returns relative to the designated index. This process is maintained while neutralizing unintended risks. PRINCIPAL GROWTH FUND, INC.

LOGO Over the past year, the Principal Growth Fund rose 15.11%, underperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which rose 21.82%. Performance was hurt by a surge in low quality stocks over the past six months. Low quality stocks are exemplified by low price, lack of earnings, volatility, and extremely high valuations. In the early part of a market recovery these types of stocks often have significant moves as the threat of insolvency fades. We believe this is a short-term phenomenon and stocks with better fundamentals will reemerge. The Principal Growth Fund holds what we consider to be very high quality growth companies. We expect these types of stocks to gain ground soon. The fund benefited from its holdings in technology, over the year, as the prospect for an improving economy augured well for capital spending. Disappointing results in health care offset these positives. The low quality effect was particularly noticeable in the health care sector where low quality stocks rose over 30% in the past year, while higher quality health care stocks increased 2%. Over the past year, growth stock returns have slightly lagged those of value stocks. With growth stocks underperforming value stocks for a third consecutive year, we expect that as investors gain confidence in the economy, growth stocks will be poised for solid returns. The fund continues to maintain positions in companies we believe have very high quality long-term growth potential. We think the low quality rally is unsustainable and expect investors will return to higher quality stocks over the next six to twelve months. PRINCIPAL LARGECAP STOCK INDEX FUND, INC.

LOGO The Principal LargeCap Stock Index Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index for the year, primarily due to the fund's fees. For the one-year period ended October 31, 2003, the fund returned 19.62% compared to 20.80% for the index. The fund seeks investment performance that corresponds to the results for the S&P 500 Index. Within the fund, the percentage exposure to the companies is closely aligned to the stocks within the index. The equity markets moved down during the early part of the year, but rebounded in the more recent period. Continued progress on corporate earnings and improved profits has supported higher equity prices. The improved economy has been a positive for both companies and consumers. The rising equity markets have improved investor confidence and strengthened corporate spending. The unemployment rate still remains high for this stage of a typical economic recovery, but signs point to improvements as companies expand and add to their payroll. Strong advances in gross domestic product (GDP) support the view that the economy is well along the way to recovery, with improved corporate fundamentals and better earning potential. The completion of major hostilities in Iraq and a more favorable economic environment with low inflation expectations has been supportive of improved financial markets. Consumer and investor confidence is improving as their financial assets show positive growth. Corporations have improved productivity and are operating more efficiently, with improved financial results and stronger balance sheets. The low interest rate environment continues to put pressures on corporate pension liabilities, but improved financial markets are benefiting the assets in these accounts. The fund continues to maintain exposures near the index with a goal to replicate index performance. The fund maintains positions in the underlying securities and uses other replicating securities for short-term investments and liquidity. PRINCIPAL MIDCAP FUND, INC. K.

LOGO The Principal MidCap Fund underperformed the Russell MidCap Index for the one-year period ended October 31, 2003, returning 26.81%, compared to the index return of 35.89%. The fund lagged the index primarily in the technology sector where many technology companies in the index were up more than 70%. While the fund's technology holdings provided positive returns, they did not have the bounce that many in the index had. The attributes that led to the best tech stock performance were high valuations, few competitive advantages, and high leverage. Those attributes rarely make successful long-term investments. The fund does not own companies with these poor attributes. We believe that in the future fundamentals will play a larger role in stock returns, which should benefit the fund. We continue to focus on high quality companies, with sustainable competitive advantages that can be purchased at reasonable prices. High quality companies are currently priced at half the price/earnings (P/E) multiple of low quality companies. The portfolio continues to hold companies with higher return on equities (ROEs), return on assets (ROAs) and profit margins than the index. We are optimistic about the fund's prospects.

LOGO From December 16, 2002, all 13 sectors in the Index contributed positively, led by Technology (36.89%). Consumer Cyclicals (28.29%) and Industrials (25.55%) also posted strong gains. The Technology sector also contributed most (weight times performance) to positive Index returns, followed closely by top-weighted Financials (24.33%). In managing our segment of the fund, we do not take size or sector bets. We hope to add value versus the fund's index by individual stock selection. Our quantitative process seeks out stocks with good momentum that also appear to be good values. We prefer stocks about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive, and companies that have strong profit margins and sustainable earnings and that use their capital to enhance shareholder value. Over the long term, these factors have generally led to excess returns. In addition, they are not highly correlated, which diversifies the fund's sources of returns. Owning inexpensive companies with good profit margins and operating efficiency added the most value for the period through our Profitability and Valuation themes. Earnings Quality, Management Impact and Fundamental Research also boosted relative returns, albeit less significantly. On the downside, Momentum detracted slightly for the period. Stock selection was mixed across sectors for the period. The fund's holdings in the Health Care sector outperformed their peers in the benchmark the most. Meanwhile, the fund's holdings in the Consumer Services sector underperformed relative to the benchmark. Looking ahead, we continue to believe that cheaper stocks should outpace more expensive ones and good momentum stocks should do better than poor momentum stocks. We also prefer names about which fundamental research analysts are becoming more positive and companies that are profitable, have sustainable earnings and use their capital to enhance shareholder value. We anticipate remaining fully invested and expect that the value we add over time will be due to stock selection, as opposed to sector or size allocations.

MEGARGEL US equity markets rallied during the past ten months, with the S&P 500 Index rising 21.2%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining 17.5% and the Nasdaq Composite advancing 44.7%. This surge in the broad market has been fueled by increasing optimism that the economy is in the early stages of an economic rebound as signaled by increases in consumer confidence and manufacturing output, resilience in consumer spending and productivity gains, and support from low interest rates and reduced tax rates. During the period beginning December 16, 2002, our segment of the Fund experienced weak stock selection in the Health Care and Information Technology sectors. Favorable stock selection within Industrials and Consumer Discretionary was additive to relative performance and served to partially offset these results. Within Health Care, Schering Plough, Baxter International, and HCA were disappointments during the period. Schering Plough announced a dividend cut and saw reduced earnings as a result of challenges with its Clarinex-Claritin transition, while HCA was weak due to a sluggish economy and higher insurance co-payments, which contributed to a slowing in the company's admissions trends. Both positions were eliminated from the portfolio during the year. Within Technology, the portfolio was negatively affected by the outperformance of some smaller, more volatile names in the sector that we did not hold. Stocks such as Broadcom and Avaya each gained in excess of 100% and other similar stocks had outsized gains as their prospects for survival increased in a rising market. In essence, the markets' focus on small-cap, risky assets hurt our performance, as we focus on large-cap, high-quality companies. Within Consumer Discretionary, Comcast was a strong performer as the company continued to make significant progress integrating AT&T's broadband systems. The portfolio also benefited from holding Home Depot, which continued to improve its sales despite a weak consumer spending environment. Within Industrials, Caterpillar benefited from consensus-beating second quarter earnings and also raised full-year guidance. The company has also been expanding its product lines in its traditional machinery business, growing its financial services business, and embarking on an aggressive cost reduction effort. Investors began to appreciate the underlying earnings power, resulting in Caterpillar being a strong performer for the portfolio. Since the end of the war with Iraq, we have recently been increasing the cyclical posture of the Portfolio. Most notably, we increased the fund's overweight to the Industrials sector by adding to our positions in General Electric and 3M, and by initiating a new position in CSX Corp. We expect many of the fund's holdings in this Industrials sector to exhibit sizeable improvements in earnings with only a modest pick-up in revenues. As we approach the end of 2003, investor optimism surrounding the economy and the equity markets has started to consolidate. Tax cuts, a weaker U.S. dollar, sustained productivity and healthier corporate balance sheets all bode well for corporate profits. As the economy continues to stabilize, we will look for improved corporate spending and employment trends as key gauges to determine the sustainability of the domestic recovery. At this juncture, we believe a sustainable up-trend will in fact unfold and support growth in 2004. PRINCIPAL PARTNERS EQUITY GROWTH FUND, INC. JEFF ALVINO, WILLIAM S.

LOGO Early in the 12-month period ended October 31, 2003, the long-anticipated economic recovery appeared reluctant to surface. Despite interest rates at historically low levels, corporate earnings failed to rebound as quickly as had been expected. Uncertainty over the likelihood and timing of the potential war with Iraq only worsened investor sentiment in the first months of 2003. Investor confidence subsequently improved based on expectations of a swift U.S. victory in Iraq, encouraging economic data and reports of corporate earnings that exceeded expectations. These factors triggered a strong market rally, with defensive sectors and securities that had led during the bear market falling behind cyclical sectors, as investors' expectations for the economy improved. The Fund underperformed its benchmark for the twelve months ended October 31st due to stock selection. Sector allocations made a modest positive impact on performance. During the period the three largest sectors in the portfolio were technology, healthcare and consumer discretionary. We were disappointed in the short-term performance of several consumer discretionary names. The portfolio suffered from lagging performance in the areas of retail and media. In retail concerns about the health of the consumer affected Kohl's and Dollar General in retail. Costco shares fell in August when the company announced third quarter earnings could fall short of Wall Street expectations. Costco cited increasing healthcare costs and price competition with Wal-Mart. In the area of media, Viacom had the greatest negative impact. The company suffered from a generally weak local advertising market despite a record up front television selling season. An overweight to the health care sector detracted from relative results, as did stock selection to a lesser extent. HCA and Johnson & Johnson lagged. HCA fell in mid-April when the company reported declines in hospital admissions. The position was eliminated from the portfolio. The third largest pharma company, Johnson & Johnson, lost momentum when the company indicated that they may be unable to keep up with demand for their innovative drug-coated stent. In addition, Amgen reported higher sales of two drugs that compete with Johnson & Johnson's widely used Procrit anemia treatment. Johnson & Johnson rebounded in October after reporting a strong third quarter, primarily due to sales of its Cypher stent. Earnings beat analyst expectations and the company raised its full-year guidance. Stock selection in financial services also detracted from performance. Among the portfolio's largest financial holdings during the period were American International Group and Freddie Mac, which lagged the index sector return. Early in 2003, we reduced the portfolio's investment in Freddie Mac due to a change in auditors and concerns regarding the treatment of interest rate hedges in financial statements. In early June the position was eliminated from the portfolio. In our view, Freddie Mac's issues are a more than one quarter event. There are regulatory concerns and potential legal issues. We also had uncertainty with senior management in light of the Board's decision to terminate three members of senior management. An overweight in information technology had a strong contribution to relative results. Strong performance from a number of the fund's semiconductor holdings, most notably Applied Materials and Intel, added to relative return. Providers of semiconductor production equipment such as Applied Materials advanced on news that one of the group's largest customers planned to substantially increase capital spending next year. Intel had a strong year, with earnings and margin improvement They have benefited from a pickup in PC sales, notably notebooks, and the introduction of Centrino Chipsets. Cisco Systems made a modest contribution to relative return. The company announced a collaboration with IBM that should support Cisco's expansion into the storage networking market. Cisco has benefited from strong government and small/mid market spending, although they remain cautious on guidance. The primary individual detractor in the technology sector was Microsoft, which declined for the period. We remain optimistic about the prospects for Microsoft given the company's strong balance sheet, market dominance, and the pickup in PC shipments, which has begun to exceed consensus expectations. We remained overweight in the name for the period. Other positive impacts on performance were stock selection in energy and telecomm services. Recoveries do not occur in a straight upward trajectory, and this one is no exception. We are hopeful that the positive signs we see in the economy and in individual companies bode well for a sustainable economic recovery. While the top performing stocks thus far this year have tended to be lower quality and smaller in size, it is our belief that in time the market will rotate towards the higher quality, fundamentally sound business models we favor PRINCIPAL PARTNERS LARGECAP BLEND FUND, INC.

LOGO The market moved steadily higher throughout the fiscal year, after hitting a three year low on October 9, 2002. Leadership in this new bull market was predominately provided by those sectors and stocks which are more cyclically oriented and leveraged to an economic rebound. Strong monetary and fiscal stimulus, including one of the largest tax cuts in U.S. history, provided liquidity and additional discretionary income, increasing consumption and demand for equities. These catalysts simultaneously lifted both the economy and stock market from their doldrums. Optimism and rising expectations for an accelerating economy were supported by a preponderance of positive and improving macroeconomic data. The service sector has been in recovery for several months, and even manufacturing - in decline for 35 consecutive months through June - began to expand again in July. On the consumer side, retail sales have been consistently strong. The economic data has been reinforced by few negative earnings preannouncements or surprises by companies which have right-sized their cost structures to a more normal demand environment. As economists steadily increased their calendar 2003 growth estimates throughout the year, resolution of the official war with Iraq, combined with an increased corporate and consumer confidence, encouraged investors to be more accepting of risk. As would be expected in a cyclical bull market, the preponderance of equities, across all levels of capitalization rose, with both growth and value styles benefiting from the year-long rebound. Value stocks outperformed growth stocks, returning 24.8% and 17.1%, respectively. Leadership was provided by those names generally of smaller size, with higher financial and operating leverage, lower quality and higher beta. During the twelve month period ended October 31, 2003, the Principal Partners Large Cap Blend Fund returned 14.68%, trailing the S&P500 Index which gained 20.80%. After two strong years of performance, we are disappointed that we did not fully participate. In a market driven predominately by a single factor (i.e momentum) our fundamental, valuation driven approach was disadvantaged. Our incremental approach based upon screens and fundamentals, employing a balanced risk/reward methodology, did not fare well in a market where returns were asymmetrically skewed toward higher risk. Stock selection, generally less cyclical, was the primary factor for underperformance versus the benchmark. Specifically, while stock selection was strong to neutral within Consumer Staples, Healthcare and Materials, it was offset by lackluster performance within Information Technology, Financials and Industrials. In this rising market, performance was held back by having any cash, in addition to being underweight Financials and overweight Energy. Alternatively, being overweight Utilities and Industrials benefited the portfolio. Although we were correct in calling for a better, more positive year in 2003, we did not fully appreciate the benefit of the extreme monetary and fiscal stimulus. We were correctly positioned to benefit from an improving corporate and industrial economy, yet underestimated the benefit of an improving consumer-driven economy. We started making moves within the portfolio toward riskier names in the third quarter of 2002. We reduced exposure in Healthcare, Utilities and Energy, putting proceeds into opportunities within Financials, Information Technology and Telecommunication Services. These moves, which continued consistently throughout the year, proved to be correct. Our process driven, incremental approach, prevented us from participating fully in the rally. However, our approach is disciplined and deliberate with a focus on risk/reward, and we believe this has served us well over time. Since inception, the portfolio has returned -3.09% versus -5.06% for the benchmark. We continue to be positive toward the overall market, though more cautious than last year at this time. We remain positive because even though expectations have risen over the past year, they still remain reasonable. More importantly, our analysts' discounted cash flow models, in aggregate, indicate the majority of stocks are trading at or near fair value, allowing for some room for the market to trade higher provided companies continue to meet or beat expectations, as we expect. While many risks remain, there are two additional factors which could help lift the economy for a second year in a row. First, an increasing supply of oil that ultimately will come from Iraq and non-OPEC members could potentially lower the price of energy. Second, we have yet to see businesses increase their historically low inventory levels in response to the strengthening economy. We do not believe the potential for increased production, coupled with a recovery in the labor markets is factored into stocks. We continue to be market overweight Information Technology and Industrials with a bias toward corporate cyclicals. In addition, our overweight within Energy and Telecommunication Services are deep value, contrarian plays. At the end of the fiscal year, the portfolio held 52% of assets in Value stocks, with the remaining 48% in Growth stocks. PRINCIPAL PARTNERS LARGECAP VALUE FUND, INC. MARILYN G.

LOGO Equity markets rallied strongly in the 12 months ending October 31, 2003, as the S&P 500 rose 20.8%. Investors began to regain confidence in the outlook for economy and corporate profits in March, ending a three-year old bear market. While all sectors rose for the period, there was a wide disparity in returns. Economically-sensitive stocks performed the best in this environment, and technology stocks were among the markets top performers, up over 50%. Defensive sectors lagged; utilities, consumer growth and consumer staples underperformed. Value outperformed growth during the period, with the Russell 1000 Value Index up 22.9% versus 20.8% for its growth counterpart. Your portfolio outperformed both its value benchmark and the broad market for the period. In response to continued signs of a recovery, technology stocks were the top performers, as such, stock selection in the technology sector was the top contributor to returns. Our overweight positions in Nortel Networks, Avaya, Corning, Avnet and Solectron contributed to performance during the period. Nortel Networks rose on a succession of positive news, as it was recently awarded several contracts, including a billion-dollar deal with Orange, a French telecom company. Solectron remains attractively valued due to uncertainty about its ability to restructure and return to profitability. We have confidence that its new management team will execute well, cut costs and, in the recovery, return to operating margins in line with its history. At 10.2 times our estimate of its normalized earnings, we continue to find it very attractive. Strength also came from the consumer cyclicals, industrial resources, capital equipment and non-financial sectors. Our retailers, including Sears and Federated Department Stores, performed well. With regard to Sears, the company announced in mid-July that it was selling its credit card division to Citibank on even more favorable terms than anticipated. Not surprisingly, the stock rallied sharply on news of the deal and of Sears' plan to return some of the cash to shareholders through share repurchases. Buoyed by growing confidence in the economy and hopes for asbestos litigation reform, our paper companies outperformed, including Georgia Pacific. Auto-parts manufacturers Magna, Dana, Lear and Autoliv also did well, showing continued investor confidence in the economy. Detracting from returns was our position in Freddie Mac, which declined after disclosing accounting issues that resulted in the overstatement of past years' earnings. We continue to view Freddie Mac as attractive. Our underweight in several stocks which outperformed, also hurt relative returns. These included Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan Chase and Caterpillar. Finally, while our holding in Comcast detracted from performance by not rising as much as the market, we remain confident in the attractive value opportunity Comcast represents as a dominant cable provider. Comcast is the nation's dominant cable company with additional revenue opportunities as video, high-speed, and eventually, telephone services are provided to its customers. We are taking less sector risk versus the benchmark today because there is no theme that offers enough opportunity to justify a large commitment, as the unusual diversification of the top quintiles of our dividend discount model shows. With no particular macroeconomic or industrial perils facing particular industries, the value opportunity has become quite diverse and stock specific. As we followed our value disciplines in picking stocks, our overweight of industrial resources has become a small underweight as these stocks outperformed and we trimmed or sold our positions. Similarly, our underweight of technology has become a slight overweight as we had the opportunity to purchase once very expensive stocks at bargain prices after the collapse of the bubble. Almost all of our other active sector positions have contracted as well. Our largest overweight (consumer cyclicals) and our largest underweight (consumer growth) are both 3%. With the portfolio's sector risk declining in line with the value opportunity, the portfolio's ex-post tracking error has decreased. This is in keeping with one of our key investment principles: Risk-taking should be calibrated to the potential opportunity, so that we do not take risks not justified by the likely return. We take more risk versus the benchmark when the potential value opportunity is large-and less risk versus the benchmark when the potential is small. With the compression of valuation spreads, many of the largest companies in America are now trading at attractive valuations. This has given us a rare opportunity to invest in these stocks. Like some of the technology, media and telecom companies we have purchased in the last two years, they are seldom value opportunities. In pharmaceuticals, for example, we have added GlaxoSmithKline and Merck to our overweight position in Pfizer this year, while selling Schering-Plough as its earnings outlook fell. Late in the quarter, we also began purchasing Citigroup, at its benchmark weight of over 5%. Its valuations are down sharply on lower expectations for growth rates and profitability. It is now cheaper than the market on our forecast of normalized earnings, but has higher growth rates and return characteristics over the long run that make it modestly undervalued, in our view. We would buy more if its benchmark weight were not so large. U.S. markets continued to regain strength in October, reflecting investor confidence in an improving the economy. In an environment characterized by a compression of valuations and a below average value opportunity, we remain steadfast in our belief that research-based stock selection is the key to outperformance, and we continue to identify attractive value opportunities diversified across sectors.

LOGO A stock market that turned dramatically from bearish to bullish and good stock selection helped drive the performance of the Principal Partners MidCap Growth Fund in the 12-month period ended October 31, 2003. The fund gained 40.42%, outperforming the Russell Midcap Growth Index's 39.30% gain by 1.13%. The fund capitalized on a stock market that suddenly went on a winning streak, that produced gains in eight of the twelve months of the period (including seven of the last eight months). Helping to accentuate the market's newly bullish mood was good news on a number of fronts -- e.g., the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged, thereby bolstering investors' hopes that the economy would continue to improve, and Wall Street analysts expected corporate earnings to increase by double-digit rates. Also, as many investors saw it, with bond yields at the lowest levels in six decades and the economy gradually improving, stocks offered relatively attractive return potential. The key to any further gains, observers say, is a sign that corporate profits will pick up going forward. Wall Street analysts believe they will in fact pick up: Thomson First Call, for instance, reported that analysts' consensus expectations are for the earnings of the S&P 500 Index companies to rise 21% in the fourth quarter. Historically, the growth-stock investments such as the Principal Partners MidCap Growth Fund that Turner Investment Partners manages have tended to outperform in a flat or rising stock market. That is precisely what the fund did in the past twelve months. Also, the fund was helped by growth stocks' strong relative performance versus value stocks (the Russell Midcap Growth Index outperformed its value counterpart by 5.82%). Also enhancing the fund's performance was our adherence to our growth-investment process, which is based on the principle that earnings expectations drive stock prices over time. Since last November, companies with good earnings prospects have been rewarded with higher stock prices. In contrast, earnings prospects didn't matter much previously, in the bear market that persisted from March 2000 to September 2002; valuations were all-important then. Because we adhered to our investment process, our stock selection was generally good, particularly in the major market sectors. Seven of our ten sector positions outperformed their corresponding Russell Midcap Growth Index sectors. Contributing the most to results were double-digit returns in the producer-durables, technology, and health-care sectors, which constituted 47% of the fund's holdings. The fund is managed in a "sector-neutral," way, i.e., its sector weightings closely resemble those of the Russell Midcap Growth Index. So it's extremely difficult for the fund to outperform if its holdings in major sectors such as technology and health care don't do well, since those sectors have a huge bearing on the total return of the market as a whole. Our producer-durables and technology holdings made especially notable contributions to the fund's outperformance; our producer-durables positions gained 71%, versus a 35% return for the Russell Midcap Growth Index's producer-durables sector, and our tech holdings rose 89%, compared with a 77% return for the index's tech sector. Winners here included semiconductor-capital-equipment, semiconductor, software, and telecommunications-equipment stocks. A 2% weighting in autos/transportation stocks detracted most from results, gaining 5%, versus an 38% gain for the index sector. Our holdings in railroad and trucking stocks performed relatively poorly. But in light of the relatively small weighting, the autos/ transportation position's influence on performance was modest. For example, our producer-durables position's positive impact on performance was 2.3 times greater than the negative impact of our autos/transportation position. As always, the fund is sector-neutral and emphasizing stocks with the strongest earnings prospects in all sectors of the market. The consensus of Wall Street analysts is the companies owned by the fund are expected to increase their earnings per share by 20.9% over the next twelve months, as reported by I/B/E/S International, a financial-data company. The fund is positioned especially strongly in semiconductor, software, media, Internet-services, pharmaceutical, financial-transaction-processing, data-networking, and cyclical stocks.

LOGO The U.S equity markets remained volatile over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2003, alternately rising and falling and then rising again over the four quarters that made up the Fund's reporting period. As the fiscal year began, a weak economy, anemic corporate profits, accounting issues and unrest in the Middle East led investors to shun stocks in favor of the perceived security of the bond market. However, after falling to a five-year low in early October 2002, stocks staged a surprising fall rally, with investors being drawn to certain downtrodden sectors that were viewed as having compelling valuations. Geopolitical issues came to the fore as the year 2003 began, as anticipation of the war in Iraq, saber rattling in North Korea and renewed concerns about terrorism preoccupied the country. Investor aversion to risk resurfaced, and the majority of the sectors covered in the Index fell during the first quarter. Nonetheless, the 12-month period ended on a strongly positive note, as the end to major fighting in Iraq eliminated one of the issues weighing most heavily on the market. Investors grew increasingly optimistic about the potential for an economic revival and subsequent upturn in corporate profits. At the same time, their appetite for risk increased as the yields available from many fixed income securities shrank. As a result, equity investors drove stocks to steep gains during the final half of the fiscal year. The gains were broad-based, and many of the best-performing sectors were the prior years' weakest-performing areas: the Information Technology, Telecommunication, and Health Care sectors. In the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, the Principal Partners Small Cap Growth Fund underperformed its benchmark, with a 37.9% gain vs. a 46.6% surge for the Russell 2000 Growth Index. For the fiscal year, the Fund's biggest detractors were poor stock selection in the Information Technology and Health Care areas, combined with the drag of small cash balances in a sharply rising market environment. On the positive side, stock selection was solid in the Industrials and Consumer sectors. Although our more conservative investment approach generally fares well over the course of a market cycle, it tends to lag somewhat during short upward spurts that favor more speculative stocks, especially low-priced equities that are losing money. This was exactly the market environment that existed throughout a good part of the past fiscal year. At the end of October, the Fund was slightly overweighted in the Consumer Staples, Energy, Healthcare, and Financial sectors, while it was modestly underweighted in Industrials, Materials, and Telecommunications stocks. Although we will over- and under-weight sectors, we remain committed to a diversified investment approach that identifies attractive growth opportunities in every sector. Over the course of a market cycle, we believe stock price movements tend to be governed by earnings growth and relative valuations. On both of these measures, we believe small-cap stocks continue to stack up well relative to their larger counterparts. In terms of profits, small-caps have been growing earnings faster than large-caps for most of the last three years. While small-cap relative valuations are no longer at their record lows of the late 1990s, we believe they are still very reasonably priced relative to their long-term historical averages. Assuming the economy continues to pick up steam, we believe that small-cap stocks will retain a favorable environment in which to maintain an outperformance cycle that dates back to the spring of 1999. We continue to remain focused on identifying high-quality small cap growth companies that have strong competitive positions and a demonstrated ability to generate above-average sustained earnings growth. Over time, we believe this strategy should reward patient investors. Portfolios are actively managed and their compositions differ over time.

LOGO Real estate stocks provided extraordinary returns for the 12-month period ending October31, 2003. The fund performed in-line with the Morgan Stanley REIT Index, which gained an impressive 33.9%. These gains outstripped the broader market as the S&P 500 Index and the Wilshire 5000 Index registered returns of 20.8% and 24.5%, respectively. The strong stock performance of companies that owned commercial real estate was ironic given the weak U.S. real estate conditions that persisted over the past 12 months. Commercial real estate fundamentals eroded in a weak economy where leases were expiring and there was not enough new demand from tenants to fill all of the vacated space. Three factors worked in favor of real estate stocks. First, stocks offering a meaningful level of income were popular as investors showed a strong demand for income. Despite the weak real estate conditions, dividend safety, as a general rule, was not a concern either. Secondly, small-cap stocks, which include real estate stocks, rallied in expectation of economic recovery. By way of comparison, the Russell 2000 Small-Cap Index provided a gain of 43.4% over the same time period. Finally, investors took note of the fact that the valuation levels of real estate owners at the start of the most recently completed fiscal year were inexpensive by historic standards. Segregating real estate stocks by the type of property owned reveals strong absolute performance across all property sectors. Hotel owners provided the lowest return relative to other property types, but the group still gained on average an impressive 20.0%. Retail property owners delivered the best returns among the property types with an average total return of 45.0%. Relative fund performance benefited most from an overweighting in retail property owners. Continued growth in consumer spending buoyed retailer demand for space, causing retail to be one of the few sectors to enjoy strong fundamental conditions. These favorable conditions, combined with the attractive valuation levels of retail property owner stocks, attracted us to the group. The best performing stocks owned by the fund were retail stocks. These included regional mall owners General Growth, CBL & Associates and Mills Corporation along with factory outlet owner Chelsea Property Group. Index relative performance was hindered by poor decisions relating to the owners of health care facilities and industrial warehouse properties. The stock prices of health care property owners were weak in the first six months of the year only to recover in the second half. As we shifted the fund's exposure level to health care owners throughout the year, our timing in making these shifts was disappointing. Industrial represented another type of problem, as the fund was consistently overweighted in this property type throughout the year. We were attracted by the prospect of improved warehouse conditions as we anticipated companies would need to replenish inventories. This judgment proved wrong as an industrial warehouse recovery failed to materialize and industrial warehouse stocks underperformed. A year ago at this time most experts had modest expectations in estimating the returns of real estate stocks. Looking back now we can understand why these modest expectations proved wrong. Predicting future returns is always a murky job and the next 12 months will be no different. This uncertainty and the extraordinary recent returns of real estate stocks only serves to remind us why investment strategies based on diversification typically produce superior results compared to ones based on timing.

LOGO Economic data points turned more positive throughout the year, a fact that was not lost on the market. Small-cap stocks performed admirably, turning in positive performance in three out of four quarters. Continued political turmoil in the Middle East and other parts of the world had a lesser impact on investor confidence this year as compared to last, as investors focused their attention on improving economic fundamentals. In a repeat performance from a year ago, the consumer continued to provide a boost to the economy as the Federal Reserve (Fed) kept interest rates low. This allowed the housing market to continue its strong pace throughout the year. Unlike last year however, additional signs of an economy on the mend were evident including improving gross domestic product (GDP), lower jobless claims and an increase in business capital expenditures. Lack of business spending had been a cause for skepticism and a major impediment to a stronger economic recovery. A continuation of this expenditure trend by business will be an important ingredient to a sustained economic recovery. The Principal SmallCap Fund returned 32.91% vs. 43.35% for the Russell 2000 Index, the fund's primary benchmark. The best returns in the small-cap market were found in the smallest, most volatile companies. Outperformance by these companies made keeping pace with the benchmark very difficult as liquidity, the ability to purchase a significant number of shares in a reasonable time period at a reasonable price, is very limited in this group of companies. In addition, lower quality companies outperformed as investors anticipated an economic recovery and bid up the price of companies with the highest degree of leverage to an improvement in the business environment. As a result, the best performing economic sectors in the small-cap marketplace were telecommunications, information technology and health care. While the fund maintains exposure to these sectors of the market, the inability to buy the smallest of small caps and a focus on higher quality companies led to underperformance relative to the benchmark. The investment process is focused on systematically identifying companies with positive or improving business fundamentals, confirming the sustainability of those fundamentals through fundamental research and purchasing companies at reasonable valuations. Over time, this philosophy will provide superior returns and reduce portfolio risk. PRINCIPAL UTILITIES FUND, INC. JOSEPH J.

LOGO The utilities industry significantly rebounded from the negative returns posted in 2002. For the one-year period ending October 31, 2003, the fund returned 13.86%, compared with 26.25% for the S&P Utilities Index and 33.35% for the Dow Jones Utilities w/Income Index. The broader market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 20.80%, better than the fund but lower than the utilities indexes. While the fund reversed the negative returns suffered during 2002, its relatively weaker performance was primarily due to a focus on stable public utilities as well as a more balanced asset approach comprising a combination of common equity and high yielding hybrid preferreds. This combination is less volatile than the 100% common stock orientation of the indexes. The better performance of the indexes was also bolstered by the higher equity valuations of risky merchant energy concerns and financially impaired utilities which bounced back meaningfully off the lows of 2002. The fund's strategy has been to avoid such risk. Utility fundamentals continued to be weak although improved in the 2003 fiscal year. At the 38th Annual Edison Electric Institute Conference in Orlando, Fla., in late October, many utilities reiterated last year's industry theme of "back to the basics." While probably not long term in nature, the "basics" goal should have the short-term positive effect of shoring up liquidity, reducing debt and shedding non-core assets on the industry's balance sheet. Notwithstanding one-time events in the year like the August 14 blackout in the northeast and Canada, and Hurricane Isabel on September18, there was not any real industry overhang reminiscent of the Enron scandal in late 2001. Overall improvement in the 2003 fiscal year was underscored by lower financial risk, a drop in capital spending which helped to create more positive free cash flow, and diminished investor concern relative to earlier Enron-like events. Indeed, while no upward ratings trend for the industry is expected any time soon. Also positive is the industry's ample access to the capital markets as evidenced by a brisk debt refinancing and equity pace during the fiscal year. The telecom industry continued to reduce overall financial risk through non-core asset sales and reduced leverage. Free cash flow also improved, compared with bloated debt levels several years back, by a drop in capital spending. Industry capital expenditures declined nearly 30% to $44 billion in 2002 from $61 billion a year earlier. The pace of spending should slow in the 2004 fiscal year as well. Overall weak demand, revenue pressures, an uncertain regulatory environment, and stiff competition in long distance, wireless and voice/data services should be the backdrop going into next year. The recently enacted Job and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, which effectively lowered the dividend tax rate to 15% from a maximum 38.6%, could help prompt stronger demand for common and preferred securities paying attractive dividends. In the fiscal 2003 period the primary catalysts for the lower risk premium relationships among preferred securities continued to be strong corporate credit conditions, a somewhat limited new issue calendar and heavy redemption activity. There has also been continued focus on high-income investments from both individuals who are seeking alternatives to the low yields available on money market instruments, and from institutions such as insurance companies and closed-end funds.

LOGO The Principal International Emerging Markets Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Free (MSCI EMF) Index, by 1.33%. For the one-year period ending October 31, 2003, the fund returned 50.07%, compared to 48.74% for the index. This outperformance was primarily due to superior stock selection in China and Mexico. Poor stock selection in Industrials was due to poor performance in airline stocks. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary and telecommunication services provided outperformance relative to the benchmark. The MSCI EMF Index rose by 48.74% for the year, outpacing the gains of most developed markets. The strong rally was marked by increased investor optimism toward the global economic recovery. Cyclical markets and companies generally performed the best. In Asia, South Korea lagged the markets. The main driver for the poor performance was the worsening in the financing situation of the local consumer and ensuing problems with non-performing loans in the banking system. The stock market performed extremely well notwithstanding the economic slow down. Three themes dominated a strong year in Taiwan: First, the strong performance of the NASDAQ, driven by increased optimism in the tech sector, moved the technology-heavy Taiwan market higher. Second, the surge of the mainland Chinese economy boosted the Taiwanese companies that look set to benefit from the increasing ties between the two economies. Third, the Taiwanese government is widely expected to remove the qualified foreign institutional investor (QFII) system, making it easier for foreign investors to gain access to the local stock market. Despite Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), the Chinese market performed well in the last year. The Chinese economy continued its torrid pace, with only a small slowdown during the SARS epidemic, and the market rose strongly for the year. Among the smaller markets, Thailand performed exceptionally well. In India, a strong monsoon season, continued liberalization and financial sector reform drove the market. The Latin American equity markets, which are dominated by Mexico and Brazil, gained over 57%. The main themes were decreasing sovereign risk premiums, stable currencies, declining inflation and lower interest rates leading to strong domestic consumption and moderate economic growth. The Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (EEMEA) region was up over 50% even with the war in Iraq. On the macro side, high oil and gold prices helped the commodity rich Russian and South African markets. It was an eventful year with the Bali Bombing, war in Iraq, SARS virus, a shift in focus from inflation to deflation, U.S. dollar weakness, and a heightened awareness of exchange rate regimes and their effect on global imbalances. During the past twelve months, it became increasingly apparent that China would be one of the main engines of growth for the world economy in years ahead. From an economic perspective, China's impressive performance was closely followed by Thailand, Indonesia and India. In Brazil, newly elected President Lula has so far impressed financial markets with his disciplined fiscal policies and ability to deliver on economic reform. Inflation and interest rates have fallen, and investor demand has returned to the country with gusto. In Mexico the political landscape is somewhat less rosy. The economy itself is also struggling, still waiting to reap the benefits of a full-blown U.S. recovery. The main focus in Eastern Europe was progress on the path toward European Union ascension. The South African economy has become a story of two parts - robust domestic demand driven by improving inflation and falling interest rates on the one hand, and the export sector which is slowly being strangled by the strength of the rand on the other. Oil prices have remained at higher than average levels during the past twelve months. This has helped push Russian gross domestic product (GDP) growth expectations ever higher.

LOGO International equity markets rebounded sharply in the last year, benefiting from high liquidity and the improved outlook for global economic growth. The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (MSCI EAFE) rose by 27.03% for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2003. The Principal International Fund rose by 22.81%, underperforming the index. In developed markets, small companies continued to outperform large companies, both in Japan and Europe. Returns were also strong on a relative basis in emerging markets, led by Latin America and Asia. The best performing sectors in the last year were information technology, industrials and basic materials. In general, economically sensitive sectors outperformed during the recent year. The laggards in the market rebound were consumer staples, health care and energy. Weakness in the U.S. dollar benefited international investors. The MSCI EAFE Index increased 12.18% in local returns, indicating a positive impact from currencies of 14.85%. The primary reason for the negative relative performance was weak stock selection and sector allocation. Companies with low levels of profitability and poor earnings revisions tended to outperform, especially in the second half of the fiscal year. The last six months marked the longest period of underperformance since 1989 for stocks with good earnings revisions. The fund invests in quality companies exhibiting positive fundamentals and will tend to underperform in this type of market. Looking to the future, we believe we are at the point where the earnings outlook of companies will influence share prices again. Stock selection was weak within financials, basic materials and health care. In particular, our exposure in capital market banks, construction materials, chemicals and pharmaceuticals detracted from performance. Our low exposure to Japanese banks cost the fund performance. The best performing sectors were telecommunication services, energy and consumer staples. Country allocation was positive in the last year due to our overweighted positions in Canada and emerging markets. Currency allocation was negative as our low exposure to Australia and Switzerland cost performance. The fund is unhedged which means the weakening of the U.S. dollar positively impacted returns. As of the date of this report, we are currently finding opportunities in information technology and telecommunication services. We view the health care and consumer staples sectors less favorably. Our investment positioning is a result of implementing our bottom-up, borderless philosophy in international investing. We remain focused on identifying attractively valued companies that are exhibiting positive fundamental improvements. PRINCIPAL INTERNATIONAL SMALLCAP FUND, INC. BRIAN W.

LOGO The Principal International SmallCap Fund underperformed the Citigroup Extended Market Index (EMI) World excluding United States Index by 4.47% over the last 12 months. For the one-year period ended October 31, 2003, the fund returned 41.22% compared to the index return of 45.69%. The biggest contributor to underperformance was poor stock selection in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. Strong stock selection in the financials, materials, industrials and health care sectors were bright points for the year. Regionally, the United Kingdom and Australia/New Zealand were the biggest contributors to the fund's underperformance due to poor stock selection. Europe excluding the United Kingdom was the best contributor to performance for the fund due to strong stock selection. Asia and Japan were also positive contributors to performance based both on strong stock selection and overweighted positions in these outperforming markets. Improving global economic growth has supported the stock market rally of the last year. Corporate profit levels are now increasing on the back of higher economic growth, as evidenced by upwardly moving earnings revisions. During this strong market rally our approach has not been completely rewarded, as companies with low levels of positive business fundamentals have tended to outperform. But, we are confident that our approach will prevail over the long term. We remain focused on identifying attractively valued companies that are exhibiting positive fundamental business improvements. Please note that beginning September 30, 2003, we are using the Citigroup Extended Market Index (EMI) World excluding United States Index as our primary benchmark. We made this change to better align our investment process with the reported benchmark, since we use this index to establish our starting universe as well as for risk controls.

LOGO The Principal Bond Fund underperformed the Lehman Aggregate Index for the one-year period ended October 31, 2003, returning 4.68% compared to 4.91% for the index. Fund returns are after expenses, which don't apply to the index. Risk premiums decreased throughout the period as investors became more confident about economic growth and improving financial conditions for U.S. corporations. Corporate bonds benefited the most from reduced risk premiums, and thus provided the best return across fixed income sectors. Early in the period, the fund's allocation to investment grade corporate bonds was moved to an overweighted position from a neutral position. The overweighted position enhanced performance vs. the index. In addition, lower quality corporate bonds provided the best performance within the corporate bond sector. The allocation to these corporate bonds offering higher risk premiums was increased through the period. However, the fund had a higher quality orientation early in the period and this negatively impacted performance. Performance was enhanced by overweighted positions in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS), as well as underweighted positions to U.S. Treasuries and U.S. agencies. (Agencies are securities issued by U.S. government agencies.) Additionally, the fund's allocation to below investment grade corporate bonds (a sector which is not part of the index) was increased throughout the period to the current level of 8.2% of the portfolio. This allocation positively impacted the performance of the fund, as below investment grade corporate bonds significantly outperformed other fixed income sectors during the period. The lackluster growth of the U.S. economy flowed from the end of 2002 into the first half of 2003. The uncertainty surrounding the war in Iraq, coupled with the lingering concerns that had been created by corporate governance scandals, stalled business investment in the first quarter of 2003. Fortunately, a vibrant housing market lifted construction activity and refinancing provided extra support to consumer spending. With the end of the official war in Iraq and the related uncertainties, and a more optimistic outlook for economic growth, interest rates rose significantly in June and July, as did stock prices. Economic activity perked up and then accelerated further this summer as tax cuts boosted disposable income of households. Real gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of U.S. output, grew at 7.20% in the third quarter, the fastest quarterly rate of growth in nearly 20 years. This pace of growth is unsustainable, but sets the stage for reasonable growth in 2004. Economic growth above long term potential will depend on an increase in corporate spending and the strength of the U.S. labor market, which is just starting to improve.

LOGO The Principal Government Securities Income Fund underperformed the Lehman Government/Mortgage Index for the one-year period ending October 31, 2003. The fund returned 1.59% vs. 2.83% for the index. Fund returns are after expenses, which don't apply to the index. Additional underperformance was due to the returns on mortgage securities lagging as interest rates fell to 40-year lows. This caused a wave of refinancing, and cash flows had to be reinvested at the low prevailing interest rates. To enhance performance, we used strategies to avoid the detrimental effects of refinancing, and to lower the price volatility of the fund. The strategy was to lessen the price declines as interest rates increase from their June lows. The fund weathered one of the worst periods for mortgage securities and is poised to perform well with higher yield and lower volatility for next year. The economy entered the year posting lackluster performance, untypical of past rebounds. While consumers continued to spend, business confidence was low and pricing weak, enough to prompt the Federal Reserve (Fed) to cut interest rates one last time in an effort to avoid a deflationary spiral. Business spending was put on hold until the results of the war in Iraq was known, further depressing economic activity in the first quarter. All monetary stimulants were put in place in the second quarter as tax cuts, child care rebate checks, cash out refinancing, and no-interest auto loans gave the consumer the cash to overcome a sluggish labor market. Low mortgage rates have maintained a strong housing market, and a lower valued dollar has improved the earnings of multinational companies. As a result, third quarter gross domestic product (GDP) and productivity both grew in excess of 7%, resembling a more normal post recession economic rebound. We would expect the pace of economic growth to moderate in 2004 as high productivity wanes with increased employment and a more broad based recovery. We would expect the fund's performance to improve as higher yields and lower price volatility of agency mortgage securities outperform other government securities. The Fund may invest in debt and mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Banks. Although the issuing agency, instrumentality or corporation maybe chartered or sponsored by the United States government, their securities are niether issued nor guaranteed by the United States Treasury.

LOGO The Principal Limited Term Bond Fund underperformed the Lehman Mutual Fund 1-5 year Government/Credit Index for the one-year period ended October 31, 2003. The fund returned 3.04% compared to 4.06% for the index. Fund returns are after expenses, which don't apply to the index. The fund's mortgage-backed securities (MBS) holdings experienced the most volatile period since the refinancing/ prepayment wave of 1993 and 1994. Performance was enhanced by broad corporate diversification and overweighted sector allocation to asset-backed securities (ABS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and securities issued by U.S. government agencies. Two key factors caused the U.S. economy to be lackluster late last year and early this year. First, the uncertainties surrounding the possible war in Iraq began to affect business decisions. This, coupled with the lingering concerns that had been created by corporate governance scandals, stalled business investment in the first quarter of 2003. Fortunately, a vibrant housing market lifted construction activity and refinancing provided extra support to consumer spending. With the end of the official war in Iraq and the related uncertainties, both interest rates and stock prices began to rise by June. Economic activity picked up and then accelerated further this summer as tax cuts boosted households' disposable income. Investors, as well as businesses, started to take more risk. The third quarter produced an increase of 7.20% in real gross domestic product (GDP), the broadest measure of U.S. output. This was the fastest quarterly rate of growth in nearly 20 years. This pace of growth is unsustainable, but sets the stage for reasonable growth in 2004. The strength of the economy next year will depend on the strength of the U.S. labor market, which is just starting to grow.

LOGO The Principal Tax-Exempt Bond Fund returned 4.25% for the one-year period ending October 31, 2003, lagging the 5.11% return of the Lehman Municipal Bond Index. Fund returns are after expenses, which don't apply to the index. Additional underperformance is attributable to the maturity distribution and premium coupon bond structure. The fund is overweighted in holdings in the 10-year maturity range, which had lower returns relative to all but the shortest maturities. Most of this underperformance in the 10-year range occurred over the past month. Another hindrance to performance came from the fund's overweighting to premium coupon bonds. These bonds should outperform in a rising interest rate environment, but lagged current and discount coupon structures by approximately 0.50% over the past 12 months. As an asset class, municipals had strong performance for the period. The Lehman Municipal Bond Index earned 5.11% over the past year. This compares favorably to most fixed income asset classes including U.S Treasuries, which returned 2.82% (Lehman U.S. Treasury Index). The performance came in spite of a record volume of new issuance coupled with budget imbalances and credit concerns in many states. Many state and local municipalities continue to struggle with structural imbalances in their budgets. California has received plenty of press for its budget deficit, currently estimated to be in the $8 billion to $20 billion range for the next fiscal year. New York is currently projecting a $14 billion deficit for the next two years. While some credits face potential downgrades by credit rating agencies, in general, municipal bonds remain at the higher end of the credit spectrum. Our strategy remains unchanged. Our strategy is based on our outlook for a slowly improving economy and a slightly higher interest rate environment over time. Security selection will play a critical role in performance as state and local municipalities work to cure challenging budget issues. We continue to favor premium coupon structures and maintain an overweighting to the 10-to-20 year maturity range. We believe this offers the best value on a risk-adjusted basis. We continue to monitor the credit situations in California and New York and look for opportunities to add exposure in these states. PRINCIPAL CASH MANAGEMENT FUND, INC. MICHAEL R. JOHNSON AND ALICE ROBERTSON The money fund industry average maturity over the course of fiscal year 2003 was in the 53-58 day range. The Principal Cash Management Fund strives to stay in line with the money fund industry average in both yield and maturity. The fund managers continue to choose from a list of high quality investments that is actively monitored by our fixed-income analytical staff. During fiscal 2003, we took additional steps to further diversify the portfolio. The fund has increased its exposure to government agency discount notes since yield premiums between commercial paper and government agency discount notes has narrowed. The Federal Reserve (Fed) started fiscal year 2003 with a 0.50% rate cut on November 6, 2002, setting the fed funds target rate at 1.25%. (The fed funds rate is the overnight lending rate between banks.) The Fed made one further rate cut of 0.25% on June 25, 2003, lowering the fed funds target rate to 1.00%. The bias was also changed several times throughout the fiscal year. The Fed even suspended it in March due to the uncertainty of the war in Iraq. At year-end, the Fed had a dual bias in place stating that risks toward sustainable growth are balanced and the risk of falling inflation exceeds that of any rise in inflation. However, the Fed has become less of a factor in the market as it has made it clear short rates will be kept low for a "considerable period." As of the end of September, outstanding commercial paper had declined 5% and stood at the lowest level in four years. Investment in money market funds is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government. While the fund strives to maintain a $1.00 per share net asset value, it is possible to lose money by investing in it.

They focus on bonds with maturities of 10 years or more. MORNINGSTAR SHORT-TERM BOND CATEGORY consists of short-term bond funds that have durations that stay between one and 3.5 years. These funds invest in a variety of bonds, from the most creditworthy, such as Treasury bonds, to mortgages and corporates, and on rare occasions, even more speculative high-yield and emerging markets debt. MORNINGSTAR SMALL BLEND CATEGORY consists of small-cap blend funds that favor firms at the smaller end of the market-capitalization range, and are flexible in the types of small caps they buy.

They thus provide exposure both to traditional value sectors, such as financials and cyclicals, and to growth sectors like technology and health care. MORNINGSTAR SMALL GROWTH CATEGORY consists of small-cap growth funds that focus on stocks at the lower end of the market-capitalization range.

ORGANIZATION Principal Balanced Fund, Inc., Principal Capital Value Fund, Inc., Principal Growth Fund, Inc., Principal LargeCap Stock Index Fund, Inc., Principal MidCap Fund, Inc., Principal Partners Blue Chip Fund, Inc., Principal Partners Equity Growth Fund, Inc., Principal Partners LargeCap Blend Fund, Inc., Principal Partners LargeCap Value Fund, Inc., Principal Partners MidCap Growth Fund, Inc., Principal Partners SmallCap Growth Fund, Inc., Principal Real Estate Fund, Inc., Principal SmallCap Fund, Inc., and Principal Utilities Fund, Inc. (the "Domestic Growth Funds") are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end diversified management investment companies and operate in the mutual fund industry. Each fund offers both Class A shares and Class B shares to the public. Class A shares generally are sold with an initial sales charge based on declining rates and certain purchases may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") upon redemption. Class B shares are sold without an initial sales charge, but bear higher ongoing distribution fees and are subject to a declining CDSC on certain redemptions made within six years of purchase. Class B shares automatically convert into Class A shares, based on relative net asset value (without a sales charge), seven years after purchase. Both classes of shares for each fund represent interests in the same portfolio of investments, and will vote together as a single class except where otherwise required by law or as determined by each of the Domestic Growth Funds' respective Board of Directors. In addition, the Board of Directors of each fund declares separate dividends on each class of shares. Effective October 31, 2002, Principal Growth Fund, Inc. acquired all the assets and assumed all the liabilities of Principal Partners LargeCap Growth Fund, Inc. pursuant to a plan of acquisition approved by shareholders of Principal Partners LargeCap Growth Fund, Inc. on October 16, 2002. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of Principal Partners LargeCap Growth Fund, Inc. for shares of Principal Growth Fund, Inc. The aggregate net assets of Principal Growth Fund, Inc. and Principal Partners LargeCap Growth Fund, Inc. immediately before the acquisiton were approximately $282,490,000 and $9,462,000, respectively. Principal Management Corporation is currently in the process of reviewing policies and trading records to determine whether the Domestic Growth Funds have been used as vehicles for late trading or market timing. While the review is not yet complete, Principal Management Corporation has no reason to believe at this time that any Domestic Growth Fund will experience any material gain or loss as a result of the review. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Domestic Growth Funds: SECURITY VALUATION . The Domestic Growth Funds value securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, which is determined using the last reported sale price. If no sales are reported, as is regularly the case for some securities traded over-the-counter, securities are valued using the last reported bid price or an evaluated bid price based on information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use electronic modeling techniques that incorporate security characteristics, market conditions and dealer-supplied valuations. When reliable market quotations are not considered to be readily available, which may be the case, for example, with respect to certain debt securities and preferred stocks, the investments are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by Principal Management Corporation (the "Manager") under procedures established and periodically reviewed by each fund's Board of Directors. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market. INCOME AND INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS. . The Domestic Growth Funds record investment transactions on a trade date basis. The identified cost basis has been used in determining the net realized gain or loss from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. The Domestic Growth Funds record dividend income on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities are accreted/amortized over the lives of the respective securities. The Domestic Growth Funds allocate daily all income and realized and unrealized gains or losses to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the value of shares outstanding of each class. 48 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRINCIPAL MUTUAL FUNDS DOMESTIC GROWTH FUNDS OCTOBER 31, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) EXPENSES. . The Domestic Growth Funds allocate daily all expenses (other than class-specific expenses) to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the value of shares outstanding of each class. Class-specific expenses charged to each class during the year ended October 31, 2003 are included separately in the statements of operations. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS . Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gain from investments are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for mortgage-backed securities, net operating losses, amortization of premiums and discounts, losses deferred due to wash sales, commission recapture, futures contracts, and limitations imposed by Sections 381-384 of the Internal Revenue Code. Permanent book and tax basis differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Distributions which exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes are reported as tax return of capital distributions. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES . No provision for federal income taxes is considered necessary because each fund is qualified as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code and intends to distribute each year substantially all of its net investment income and realized capital gains to shareholders. REDEMPTION FEES . The Domestic Growth Funds will impose a redemption fee on redemptions of $30,000 or more of Class A shares redeemed within 30 days after they are purchased. The fee is equal to 1.00% of the total redemption amount. The fee is paid to the fund and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact, and other costs associated with short-term money movement in and out of the Domestic Growth Funds. These amounts are reflected in the statements of changes in net assets. 3. OPERATING POLICIES FEES PAID INDIRECTLY. . The Domestic Growth Funds direct certain portfolio transactions to brokerage firms that, in turn, pay a portion of the Fund's operating expenses. These amounts are reflected in the statements of operations. FUTURES CONTRACTS . The Domestic Growth Funds may enter into futures contracts as a hedge against changes in market conditions and, to a limited extent, for non-hedging purposes. Initial margin deposits are made by cash deposits or segregation of specific securities as may be required by the exchange on which the transaction was conducted. Pursuant to the contracts, a fund agrees to receive from or pay 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 by the fund as a variation margin receivable or payable on futures contracts. During the period the futures contracts are open, daily changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses. These unrealized gains or losses are included as a component of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments on the statements of assets and liabilities. When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the fund's cost basis in the contract. JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT . The Domestic Growth Funds may, pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, transfer uninvested funds into a joint trading account. The order permits the Domestic Growth Funds' cash balances to be deposited into a single joint account along with the cash of other registered investment companies managed by Principal Management Corporation. These balances may be invested in one or more short-term instruments. LINE OF CREDIT . The Domestic Growth Funds participate with other funds managed by Principal Management Corporation in an unsecured joint line of credit with two banks which allow the participants to borrow up to $75 million, collectively. Borrowings are made solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each participant, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the Fed Funds Rate plus ..50%. Additionally, a commitment fee is charged at the annual rate of .09% on the amount of the line of credit. The commitment fee is allocated among the participating funds in proportion to their average net assets during each calendar quarter. At October 31, 2003, the Domestic Growth Funds had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit. 49 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRINCIPAL MUTUAL FUNDS DOMESTIC GROWTH FUNDS OCTOBER 31, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. OPERATING POLICIES (CONTINUED) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS . The Domestic Growth Funds may invest in repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized, typically by U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities. The value of the collateral is maintained, at a minimum, in an amount equal to the principal amount plus accrued interest of each repurchase agreement. In the event the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults, the fund could experience delays in the realization of the collateral. SECURITIES LENDING. . The Domestic Growth Funds may lend portfolio securities to approved brokerage firms to earn additional income. Each applicable fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. government securities, U.S. government agency securities, letters of credit, and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. Cash collateral received is usually invested in short-term securities. The market value of loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the funds on the next business day. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. As of October 31, 2003, the Domestic Growth Funds had securities on loan as follows: VALUE OF VALUE OF SECURITIES LOANED COLLATERAL ----------------- ---------- Principal Balanced Fund, Inc. $ 464,405 $ 477,550 Principal Capital Value Fund, Inc. 4,640,373 4,752,000 Principal Growth Fund, Inc. 3,317,833 3,387,000 Principal LargeCap Stock Index Fund, Inc. 284,447 294,000 Principal MidCap Fund, Inc. 14,351,530 14,618,000 Principal Partners Blue Chip Fund, Inc. 1,572,841 1,665,000 Principal Partners Equity Growth Fund, Inc. 647,488 677,000 Principal SmallCap Fund, Inc. 4,675,754 4,909,000 50 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRINCIPAL MUTUAL FUNDS DOMESTIC GROWTH FUNDS OCTOBER 31, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (CONTINUED) DISTRIBUTION FEES . The Domestic Growth Funds bear distribution fees with respect to each class computed at an annual rate of the average daily net assets attributable to each class of each fund. The annual rate will not exceed the following limits: CLASS A CLASS B ------- ------- All Domestic Growth Funds (except Principal LargeCap Stock Index Fund, Inc.) .25% 1.00% Principal LargeCap Stock Index Fund, Inc. .15 .50 Distribution fees are paid to Princor Financial Services Corporation, the principal underwriter. A portion of the fees is subsequently remitted to retail dealers. Pursuant to the distribution agreements for Class A and Class B shares, fees that are unused by the principal underwriter at the end of the fiscal year are returned to the respective Domestic Growth Funds which generated the excess. SALES CHARGES . Princor Financial Services Corporation, as principal underwriter, receives proceeds of any CDSC on certain Class A and Class B share redemptions. The charge is based on declining rates which for Class A shares begin at .75% and Class B shares at 4.00% (0.25% and 1.25% for Principal LargeCap Stock Index Fund, Inc. share classes, respectively) of the lesser of current market value or the cost of shares being redeemed. Princor Financial Services Corporation also retains sales charges on sales of Class A shares based on declining rates. As of March 1, 2003, the maximum rate increased from 4.75% to 5.75% of the offering price (1.50% for Principal LargeCap Stock Index Fund, Inc.).

ORGANIZATION Principal International Emerging Markets Fund, Inc., Principal International Fund, Inc., and Principal International SmallCap Fund, Inc. (the "International Growth Funds") are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end diversified management investment companies and operate in the mutual fund industry. Each fund offers both Class A shares and Class B shares to the public. Class A shares generally are sold with an initial sales charge based on declining rates and certain purchases may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") upon redemption. Class B shares are sold without an initial sales charge, but bear higher ongoing distribution fees and are subject to a declining CDSC on certain redemptions made within six years of purchase. Class B shares automatically convert into Class A shares, based on relative net asset value (without a sales charge), seven years after purchase. Both classes of shares for each fund represent interests in the same portfolio of investments, and will vote together as a single class except where otherwise required by law or as determined by each of the International Growth Funds' respective Board of Directors. In addition, the Board of Directors of each fund declares separate dividends on each class of shares. Effective October 29, 2002, Principal International Fund, Inc. acquired all the assets and assumed all the liabilities of Principal European Equity Fund, Inc. and Principal Pacific Basin Fund, Inc. pursuant to a plan of acquisition approved by shareholders of Principal European Equity Fund, Inc. and Principal Pacific Basin Fund, Inc. on October 28, 2002. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-fee exchange of shares from Principal European Equity Fund, Inc. and Principal Pacific Basin Fund, Inc. for the shares of Principal International Fund, Inc. The aggregate net assets of Principal International Fund, Inc., Principal European Equity Fund, Inc. and Principal Pacific Basin Fund, Inc. immediately before the acquisiton were approximately $212,063,000, $4,411,000 and $3,742,000, respectively. Principal Management Corporation is currently in the process of reviewing policies and trading records to determine whether the International Growth Funds have been used as vehicles for late trading or market timing. While the review is not yet complete, Principal Management Corporation has no reason to believe at this time that any International Growth Fund will experience any material gain or loss as a result of the review. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the International Growth Funds: SECURITY VALUATION . The International Growth Funds value securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, which is determined using the last reported sale price. If no sales are reported, as is regularly the case for some securities traded over-the-counter, securities are valued using the last reported bid price or an evaluated bid price based on information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use electronic modeling techniques that incorporate security characteristics, market conditions and dealer-supplied valuations. When reliable market quotations are not considered to be readily available, which may be the case, for example, with respect to certain debt securities, preferred stocks and foreign securities, the investments are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by Principal Management Corporation (the "Manager") under procedures established and periodically reviewed by each fund's Board of Directors. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market. FOREIGN SECURITIES. . Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The values of such securities used in computing net asset value per share are usually determined as of such times. Occasionally, events which affect the values of such securities and foreign currency exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are generally determined and the close of the New York Stock Exchange. If events materially affecting the value of such securities occur during such period, then these securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Manager under procedures established and periodically reviewed by each fund's Board of Directors. To the extent each fund invests in foreign securities listed on foreign exchanges which trade on days on which the fund does not determine its net asset value, for example weekends and other customary national U.S. holidays, each fund's net asset value could be significantly affected on days when shareholders cannot purchase or redeem shares. 140 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRINCIPAL MUTUAL FUNDS INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUNDS OCTOBER 31, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Certain securities issued by companies in emerging market countries may have more than one quoted valuation at any given point in time, sometimes referred to as a "local" price and a "premium" price. The premium price is often a negotiated price, which may not consistently represent a price at which a specific transaction can be effected. It is the policy of the International Growth Funds to value such securities at prices at which it is expected those shares may be sold, and the Manager or any sub-advisor is authorized to make such determinations subject to such oversight by each fund's Board of Directors as may occasionally be necessary. The value of foreign securities based in foreign currency amounts is translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at the daily close of the London Exchange. The identified cost of the fund holdings is translated at approximate rates prevailing when acquired. Income and expense amounts are translated at approximate rates prevailing when received or paid, with daily accruals of such amounts reported at approximate rates prevailing at the date of valuation. Since the carrying amount of the foreign securities is determined based on the exchange rate and market values at the close of the period, it is not practicable to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities during the period. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on security transactions, and the difference between the amount of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies arise from changes in the exchange rate relating to assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, purchased and held in non-U.S. denominated currencies. INCOME AND INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS. . The International Growth Funds record investment transactions on a trade date basis. The identified cost basis has been used in determining the net realized gain or loss from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. The International Growth Funds record dividend income on the ex-dividend date, except dividend income from foreign securities whereby the ex-dividend date has passed; such dividends are recorded as soon as the funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities are accreted/amortized over the lives of the respective securities. The International Growth Funds allocate daily all income and realized and unrealized gains or losses to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the value of shares outstanding of each class. EXPENSES . The International Growth Funds allocate daily all expenses (other than class-specific expenses) to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the value of shares outstanding of each class. Class-specific expenses charged to each class during the year ended October 31, 2003 are included separately in the statements of operations. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS . Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gain from investments and foreign currency transactions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, losses deferred due to wash sales, commission recapture, sales of Passive Foreign Investment Companies, and limitations imposed by Sections 381-384 of the Internal Revenue Code. Permanent book and tax basis differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Distributions which exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, are reported as tax return of capital distributions. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES . No provision for federal income taxes is considered necessary because each fund is qualified as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code and intends to distribute each year substantially all of its net investment income and realized capital gains to shareholders. REDEMPTION FEES . The International Growth Funds will impose a redemption fee on redemptions of $30,000 or more of Class A shares redeemed within 30 days after they are purchased. The fee is equal to 1.00% of the total redemption amount. The fee is paid to the fund and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact, and other costs associated with short-term money movement in and out of the International Growth Funds. These amounts are reflected in the statements of changes in net assets. 141 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRINCIPAL MUTUAL FUNDS INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUNDS OCTOBER 31, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. OPERATING POLICIES FEES PAID INDIRECTLY . The International Growth Funds direct certain portfolio transactions to brokerage firms that, in turn, pay a portion of the Fund's operating expenses. The International Growth Funds have also entered into an arrangement with their custodian whereby interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used to offset a portion of each fund's expenses. These amounts are reflected in the statements of operations. LINE OF CREDIT . The International Growth Funds participate with other funds managed by Principal Management Corporation in an unsecured joint line of credit with two banks which allow the participants to borrow up to $75 million, collectively. Borrowings are made solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each participant, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the Fed Funds Rate plus ..50%. Additionally, a commitment fee is charged at the annual rate of .09% on the amount of the line of credit. The commitment fee is allocated among the participating funds in proportion to their average net assets during each calendar quarter. At October 31, 2003, the International Growth Funds had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS . The International Growth Funds may invest in repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized, typically by U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities. The value of the collateral is maintained, at a minimum, in an amount equal to the principal amount plus accrued interest of each repurchase agreement. In the event the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults, the fund could experience delays in the realization of the collateral. SECURITIES LENDING. . The International Growth Funds may lend portfolio securities to approved brokerage firms to earn additional income. Each applicable fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. government securities, U.S. government agency securities, letters of credit, and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. Cash collateral is usually invested in short-term securities. The market value of loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the funds on the next business day. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. As of October 31, 2003, Principal International Emerging Markets Fund, Inc., Principal International Fund, Inc., and Principal International SmallCap Fund, Inc. had securities on loan with market values of $1,392,836, $15,822,625 and $4,095,401 and collateral values of $1,487,000, $16,847,091 and $4,360,235, respectively. 4. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES MANAGEMENT SERVICES . The International Growth Funds have agreed to pay investment advisory and management fees to Principal Management Corporation (wholly owned by Princor Financial Services Corporation, a subsidiary of Principal Financial Services, Inc.) computed at an annual percentage rate of each fund's average daily net assets.

ORGANIZATION Principal Bond Fund, Inc., Principal Government Securities Income Fund, Inc., Principal Limited Term Bond Fund, Inc., and Principal Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Inc. (the "Income Funds") are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end diversified management investment companies and operate in the mutual fund industry. Each fund offers both Class A shares and Class B shares to the public. Class A shares generally are sold with an initial sales charge based on declining rates and certain purchases may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") upon redemption. Class B shares are sold without an initial sales charge, but bear higher ongoing distribution fees and are subject to a declining CDSC on certain redemptions made within six years of purchase. Class B shares automatically convert into Class A shares, based on relative net asset value (without a sales charge), seven years after purchase. Both classes of shares for each fund represent interests in the same portfolio of investments, and will vote together as a single class except where otherwise required by law or as determined by each of the Income Funds' respective Board of Directors. In addition, the Board of Directors of each fund declares separate dividends on each class of shares. Effective July 31, 2002, Principal Bond Fund, Inc. acquired all the assets and assumed all the liabilites of Principal High Yield Fund, Inc. pursuant to a plan of acquisition approved by shareholders of Principal High Yield Fund, Inc. on June 26, 2002. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares from Principal High Yield Fund, inc. for shares of Principal Bond Fund, Inc. the aggregate net assets of Principal Bond Fund, inc. and Principal High Yield Fund, Inc. immediately before the acquisition were approximately $195,345,000 and $20,521,000, respectively. Principal Management Corporation is currently in the process of reviewing policies and trading records to determine whether the Income Funds have been used as vehicles for late trading or market timing. While the review is not yet complete, Principal Management Corporation has no reason to believe at this time that any Income Fund will experience any material gain or loss as a result of the review. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Income Funds: SECURITY VALUATION . The Income Funds value securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, which is determined using the last reported sale price. If no sales are reported, as is regularly the case for some securities traded over-the-counter, securities are valued using the last reported bid price or an evaluated bid price based on information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use electronic modeling techniques that incorporate security characteristics, market conditions and dealer-supplied valuations. When reliable market quotations are not considered to be readily available, which may be the case, for example, with respect to certain debt securities and preferred stocks, the investments are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by Principal Management Corporation (the "Manager") under procedures established and periodically reviewed by each fund's Board of Directors. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market. INCOME AND INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS. . The Income Funds record investment transactions on a trade date basis. The identified cost basis has been used in determining the net realized gain or loss from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. The Income Funds record dividend income on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities are amortized/accreted over the lives of the respective securities. The Income Funds allocate daily all income and realized and unrealized gains or losses to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the value of shares outstanding of each class. EXPENSES . The Income Funds allocate daily all expenses (other than class-specific expenses) to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the value of shares outstanding of each class. Class-specific expenses charged to each class during the year ended October 31, 2003, are included separately in the statements of operations. 166 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRINCIPAL MUTUAL FUNDS INCOME FUNDS OCTOBER 31, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS . Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gain from investments are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for mortgage-backed securities, amortization of premiums and discounts, expiring capital loss carryforwards, certain defaulted securities, and limitations imposed by Sections 381-384 of the Internal Revenue Code. Permanent book and tax basis differences are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Distributions which exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, are reported as tax return of capital distributions. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES . No provision for federal income taxes is considered necessary because each fund is qualified as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code and intends to distribute each year substantially all of its net investment income and realized capital gains to shareholders. REDEMPTION FEES . The Income Funds will impose a redemption fee on redemptions of $30,000 or more of Class A shares redeemed within 30 days after they are purchased. The fee is equal to 1.00% of the total redemption amount. The fee is paid to the fund and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact, and other costs associated with short-term money movement in and out of the Income Funds. These amounts are reflected in the statements of changes in net assets. 3. OPERATING POLICIES JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT . The Income Funds may, pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, transfer uninvested funds into a joint trading account. The order permits the Income Funds' cash balances to be deposited into a single joint account along with the cash of other registered investment companies managed by Principal Management Corporation. These balances may be invested in one or more short-term instruments. LINE OF CREDIT . The Income Funds participate with other funds managed by Principal Management Corporation in an unsecured joint line of credit with two banks which allow the participants to borrow up to $75 million, collectively. Borrowings are made solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each participant, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the Fed Funds Rate plus ..50%. Additionally, a commitment fee is charged at the annual rate of .09% on the amount of the line of credit. The commitment fee is allocated among the participating funds in proportion to their average net assets during each calendar quarter. At October 31, 2003, the Principal Limited Term Bond Fund, Inc. had outstanding borrowing of $90,000 at an annual rate of 1.57%. No other Income Fund had outstanding borrowings under the line of credit. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS . The Income Funds may invest in repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized, typically by U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities. The value of the collateral is maintained, at a minimum, in an amount equal to the principal amount plus accrued interest of each repurchase agreement. In the event the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults, the fund could experience delays in the realization of the collateral. SECURITIES LENDING. . Certain of the Income Funds may lend portfolio securities to approved brokerage firms to earn additional income. Each applicable fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. government securities, U.S. government agency securities, letters of credit, and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. Cash collateral is usually invested in short-term securities. The market value of loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the funds on the next business day. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. As of October 31, 2003, Principal Bond Fund, Inc. and Principal Limited Term Bond Fund, Inc. had securities on loan with market values of $1,135,375 and $203,493 and collateral values of $1,162,070, and $207,820, respectively. 167 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRINCIPAL MUTUAL FUNDS INCOME FUNDS OCTOBER 31, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.

ORGANIZATION Principal Cash Management Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end diversified management investment company and operates in the mutual fund industry. The Fund offers both Class A shares and Class B shares to the public. Shares of the Fund are sold at net asset value; no sales charge applies to purchases of the Fund. Certain purchases of Class A shares of the Fund may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase. Class B shares are sold without an initial sales charge, but bear higher ongoing distribution fees and are subject to a declining CDSC on certain redemptions made within six years of purchase. Class B shares automatically convert into Class A shares, based on relative net asset value (without a sales charge), seven years after purchase. Both classes of shares in the Fund represent interests in the same portfolio of investments, and will vote together as a single class except where otherwise required by law or as determined by the Fund's Board of Directors. In addition, the Board of Directors declares separate dividends on each class of shares. Principal Management Corporation is currently in the process of reviewing policies and trading records to determine whether the Fund has been used as a vehicle for late trading or market timing. While the review is not yet complete, Principal Management Corporation has no reason to believe at this time that the Fund will experience any material gain or loss as a result of the review. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund: SECURITY VALUATION . The Fund values its securities at amortized cost, which approximates market. Under the amortized cost method, a security is valued by applying a constant yield to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and the cost of the security to the Fund. INCOME AND INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS. . The Fund records investment transactions on a trade date basis. The identified cost basis has been used in determining the net realized gain or loss from investment transactions. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities are accreted/amortized over the lives of the respective securities. The Fund allocates daily all income and realized gains or losses to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the number of settled shares outstanding of each class. The Fund's investments are with various issuers in various industries. The schedule of investments contained herein summarizes concentration of credit risk by issuer and industry. EXPENSES . The Fund allocates daily all expenses (other than class-specific expenses) to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the number of settled shares outstanding of each class. Class-specific expenses charged to each class during the year ended October 31, 2003, are included separately in the statement of operations. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS . The Fund declares all net investment income and any net realized gains and losses from investment transactions as dividends daily to settled shares of record as of that day. Dividends from net investment income and net realized gain from investments are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES . No provision for federal income taxes is considered necessary because the Fund is qualified as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code and intends to distribute each year substantially all of its net investment income and realized capital gains to shareholders. 200 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRINCIPAL MUTUAL FUNDS MONEY MARKET FUND OCTOBER 31, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. OPERATING POLICIES JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT . The Fund may, pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, transfer uninvested funds into a joint trading account. The order permits the Fund's cash balance to be deposited into a single joint account along with the cash of other registered investment companies managed by Principal Management Corporation (the "Manager"). These balances may be invested in one or more short-term instruments. LINE OF CREDIT . The Fund participates with other funds managed by Principal Management Corporation in an unsecured joint line of credit with two banks which allow the participants to borrow up to $75 million, collectively. Borrowings are made solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each participant, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the Fed Funds Rate plus .50%. Additionally, a commitment fee is charged at the annual rate of .09% on the amount of the line of credit. The commitment fee is allocated among the participating funds in proportion to their average net assets during each calendar quarter. At October 31, 2003, the Fund had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit. 4. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES MANAGEMENT SERVICES . The Fund has agreed to pay investment advisory and management fees to Principal Management Corporation (wholly owned by Princor Financial Services Corporation, a subsidiary of Principal Financial Services, Inc.) computed at an annual percentage rate of the Fund's average daily net assets. The annual rate used in this calculation for the Fund is as follows: NET ASSETS OF FUND (IN MILLIONS) - -------------------------------------------- FIRST NEXT NEXT NEXT OVER $100 $100 $100 $100 $400 ----- ---- ---- ---- ---- .50% .45% .40% .35% .30% The Fund also reimburses the Manager for transfer and administrative services, including the cost of accounting, data processing, supplies and other services rendered. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to limit expenses paid by the Fund to the extent necessary to assure the net asset value of the Fund's shares does not fall to less than one dollar. The limit may be changed at anytime. DISTRIBUTION FEES . Class B shares bear distribution fees computed at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to the class of the Fund. Distribution fees are paid to Princor Financial Services Corporation, the principal underwriter. A portion of the fees is subsequently remitted to retail dealers. Pursuant to the distribution agreement for Class B shares, fees that are unused by the principal underwriter at the end of the fiscal year are returned to the Fund. SALES CHARGES . Princor Financial Services Corporation, as principal underwriter, receives proceeds of any CDSC on certain Class A and Class B share redemptions. The charge is based on declining rates which for Class A shares begin at .75% and Class B shares at 4.00% of the lesser of current market value or the cost of shares being redeemed. The aggregate amounts of these charges for Class A shares and Class B shares retained by Princor Financial Services Corporation for the year ended October 31, 2003, were $5,649 and $46,719, respectively. AFFILIATED OWNERSHIP . At October 31, 2003, Principal Life Insurance Company (an affiliate of the Manager), affiliates of Principal Life Insurance Company, benefit plans sponsored on behalf of Principal Life Insurance Company and several joint ventures (in each of which a subsidiary of Principal Life Insurance Company is a participant) owned 12,275,984 Class A shares of the Fund.
