                          TRUST FOR FEDERAL SECURITIES
 
                       ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT
 
     Economic activity rebounded in the third quarter from the very sluggish
pace of the second quarter. The preliminary report on Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) growth showed a jump to 4.2% from 1.3% in the prior quarter. Much of the
rebound can be traced to the interest rate sensitive sectors of the economy. The
nearly 200 basis point decline in bond yields from November 1994 to the present
has provided considerable stimulus to the housing and automobile markets. Sales
of computers were also very strong in the third quarter. New home sales rose by
37% from February to July and existing home sales climbed to their highest level
since May 1994. After a soft second quarter, automobile dealers are reporting
higher sales and manufacturers have begun hiking production schedules. Further
contributing to growth during the fourth quarter will be the absence of
inventory overhang. The inventory correction has largely passed and
manufacturers are finding themselves with few goods on the shelf. Capacity
utilization rates have risen to 84.3%, and both factory orders and durable goods
advanced as the fourth quarter began.
 
     Not all the economic news is robust, however. Several factors should
constrain growth to its longer term potential of 2.5%. Most notable is the sharp
increase in consumer debt which could inhibit growth in household spending.
Concurrent with the increase in debt has been a modest pace of job growth. Both
these factors should combine to erode consumer confidence.
 
     The most encouraging reports continue to be the ongoing moderation in
inflation. On a year-over-year basis through October, the Producer Price Index
and the Consumer Price Index increased by only 2.0-2.5%. Sluggish growth and
competition have hampered the pricing power of many companies, and as monthly
employment growth is averaging less than 150,000 jobs, wage pressures should
also remain constrained.
 
     Finally, moderate growth and subdued inflation should permit the Federal
Reserve ("Fed") to keep short-term interest rates where they are. However, the
Fed seems to be predisposed toward easing. Indeed, it would be most unusual for
the Fed to only ease once, as they did on July 6. Recent indications of economic
weakness may be enough to tip the scale at the next Federal Open Market
Committee meeting on December 19. Market sentiment is clearly shifting toward
another cut in the federal funds rate. One year bills, for example, are trading
almost 50 basis points below overnight levels, a strong indicator of a 25-50
basis point easing in monetary policy.
 
     The Trust's seven investment portfolios had combined assets of $5.1 billion
on October 31. The portfolios' investments were predominantly in short
maturities as the interest rate environment offered little incentive to extend.
The average weighted maturities of the Money Market Portfolios were maintained
in a moderate range of 35-45 days for most of the past quarter. As the Trust's
fiscal year came to a close, the most significant market factors were the
extension of the debt ceiling and the debate over a balanced federal budget.
Market sentiment was quite optimistic about both issues, pushing long-term
interest rates to two-year lows. With the likelihood of lower short-term rates,
the portfolios will look to prudently extend maturities during the final two
months of the year.

                         Notes to Financial Statements
 
A. Trust for Federal Securities (the Company) was established as a Pennsylvania
business trust under a Declaration of Trust originally dated as of May 14, 1975,
and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified open-end management investment company. The Company consists of
seven separate portfolios, FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund,
Treasury Trust Fund and Short Government Fund. As of December 5, 1995, no Short
Government Fund shares were outstanding.
 
  Each portfolio has two classes of shares, one class being referred to as
Dollar Shares. Dollar shares and the other class of shares of each portfolio are
identical in all respects, except that Dollar shares are sold to institutions
(Service Organizations) which provide support services to their customers who
beneficially own such shares, in consideration of the Company's payment of 0.25%
(on an annualized basis) of the average daily net asset value of the Dollar
shares held by the institutions for the benefit of their customers. The Service
Organization fee is applicable only to the earnings of the respective Dollar
shares.
 
B. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
 
  Security Valuation--FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and
  Treasury Trust Fund:
 
  Portfolio securities are valued under the amortized cost method which
approximates current market value. Under this method, securities are valued at
cost when purchased and thereafter a constant proportionate amortization of any
discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the security. Regular review
and monitoring of the valuation is performed in an attempt to avoid dilution or
other unfair results to shareholders. The Company seeks to maintain the net
asset value per share of each portfolio at $1.00.
 
  Security Valuation--Short Government Fund:
 
  Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available (other
than debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less) are valued at
the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices provided by
investment dealers. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are
not readily available are valued at their fair value in the best judgment of PNC
Institutional Management Corporation under procedures established by and under
the supervision of the Company's Board of Trustees. Debt securities with
remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued on an amortized cost basis
(unless the Board determines that such basis does not represent fair value at
the time).
 
  Repurchase Agreements--The Company may purchase, for any portfolio except
Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund, money market instruments from
financial institutions, such as banks and non-bank dealers, subject to the
seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price.
Collateral for repurchase agreements may have longer maturities than the maximum
permissible remaining maturity of portfolio investments, provided the repurchase
agreements themselves mature in one year or less. The seller will be required on
a daily basis to maintain the value of the securities subject to the agreement
at no less than the repurchase price. Repurchase agreements with maturities in
excess of seven days are subject to a seven day put feature.
 
  Dividends to Shareholders--Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly.
Dividends payable are recorded on the dividend record date. Net income for
dividend purposes includes interest accrued and discount earned, less the
amortization of market premium and applicable expenses and, for the Money Market
Portfolios,
 
                                       30
<PAGE>   31
 
                   Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
 
can include net realized gains on portfolio securities. Short Government Fund
will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least once a year.
 
  Federal Taxes--No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Company's
intention to have each portfolio continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will
be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
 
  Other--Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date and the
cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification
method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Expenses not
directly attributable to a specific portfolio are allocated among the portfolios
based on their relative net assets.
 
  Costs incurred by FedCash, T-Cash, and Federal Trust Fund in connection with
their organization, registration and the initial public offering of shares have
been deferred and are being amortized using the straight-line method over a
five-year period beginning on the date on which the portfolios commenced their
investment activities.
 
C. Under agreements among the Company, PNC Bank, National Association (PNC Bank)
and PNC Institutional Management Corporation (PIMC), an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of PNC Bank, PIMC manages the Company's portfolios and maintains
their financial accounts. PNC Bank is the Company's sub-advisor and custodian
and PFPC Inc. (PFPC) is the Company's transfer agent.
 
  Provident Distributors, Inc. (PDI) serves as the Company's distributor. No
compensation is payable by the Company to PDI for its distribution services.
 
  The Company has entered into an Administration Agreement with PFPC and PDI for
certain administrative services.
 
  In return for their advisory and administrative services, the Company pays
PIMC and the administrators each a fee, computed daily and payable monthly,
based upon an annualized percentage of the average net assets of each portfolio
as follows:
 
  FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash, Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund
(on a combined basis)--.175% of the first $1 billion, .15% of the next $1
billion, .125% of the next $1 billion, .10% of the next $1 billion, .095% of the
next $1 billion, .09% of the next $1 billion, .085% of the next $1 billion and
 .08% of net assets in excess of $7 billion.
 
  Short Government Fund--.20% of average net assets.
 
  If expenses borne by any portfolio in any fiscal year exceed the applicable
expense limitation imposed by state securities regulations, the administrators
and PIMC will each reimburse the portfolio for one-half of any excess expense up
to the amount of fees payable to it (except where such regulations require
reimbursement regardless of the fees payable to it).
 
  The administrators and PIMC have also agreed to reduce their fees, on an equal
basis, to the extent necessary to ensure that the total operating expenses
(excluding Service Organization fees) of FedFund, T-Fund, FedCash, T-Cash,
Federal Trust Fund, and Treasury Trust Fund do not exceed .18% of their
respective average net assets, and with respect to Short Government, .20%. For
the year ended October 31, 1995, the administrators and PIMC voluntarily agreed
to reimburse expenses, on an equal basis, in the total amount of $13,217 with
respect to Short Government Fund. For the year
 
                                       31
<PAGE>   32
 
                   Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
 
ended October 31, 1995, the administrators and PIMC waived, on an equal basis, a
total of $1,711,611 of the administration and advisory fees payable to them with
respect to FundFund, $1,418,766 with respect to T-Fund, $551,341 with respect to
FedCash, $420,331 with respect to T-Cash, $384,066 with respect to Federal Trust
Fund, $1,502,728 with respect to Treasury Trust Fund and $16,544 with respect to
Short Government Fund.
 
  Service Organization fees of $511,092 were paid to affiliates of PNC Bank for
the year ended October 31, 1995.
 
D. The Company's Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to authorize the
issuance of an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial
interest (shares) in the Company and to classify or reclassify any unissued
shares into one or more additional classes of shares.
 
    Transactions in shares of the Company are summarized as follows:

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Trust for Federal Securities:
 
     We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the seven
investment portfolios of Trust for Federal Securities as of October 31, 1995,
and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements
of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and
the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audit.
 
     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
October 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
seven investment portfolios of Trust for Federal Securities as of October 31,
1995, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes
in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
