LETTER FROM THE FUNDS' MANAGEMENT


DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

We are pleased to provide you with the Semi-Annual Report of the Pilot 
domestic equity and fixed income funds for the six months ended February 28, 
1997.

        The Funds delivered strong performance relative to their benchmarks,
even as both equity and fixed income markets experienced some turbulence after
the start of 1997. We believe the Funds are well positioned to take advantage of
the continuing rowth in the economy, as well as any resulting changes the
Federal Reserve may make to interest rates.

        The Pilot Funds are pleased to announce the introduction of two new
portfolios which were made available for investment in October, 1996. THE PILOT
GROWTH EQUITY FUND is designed to provide investors with long-term capital
growth by investing in companies expected to sustain superior profitability,
strong competitive advantages, and the potential for above-average appreciation
over time. THE PILOT DIVERSIFIED BOND INCOME FUND seeks to provide investors
with total return, emphasizing current income, and preservation of capital by
investing primarily in debt securities. The Fund's average weighted maturity
will be between five and fifteen years. We believe these two new portfolios
provide shareholders and new investors with even greater opportunities for
professional management and investment diversification within The Pilot Family
of Funds.

        It was announced on August 30, 1996 that Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc., of 
which The Pilot Funds' investment advisor, Boatmen's Trust Company is a 
subsidiary, would be acquired by Nationsbank, Inc. of Charlotte, NC. The merger 
was completed on January 8, 1997. The combined Nations/Boatmen's organizations 
will continue to provide the same investment management expertise to The Pilot 
Funds that shareholders have come to expect.

        Thank you for choosing The Pilot Funds to help meet your investment 
goals. Should you have any questions or wish to learn more about any of the 
Funds, please call your local Boatmen's representative or The Pilot Funds at 
1-800-71-PILOT (717-4568).

Sincerely,

William Tomko                                   David F. Toth
President                                       Senior Vice President
The Pilot Funds                                 Boatmen's Trust Company

THE PILOT FUNDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 1997
 
==========================================================
 
1. GENERAL
 
The Pilot Growth and Income Fund, Pilot Equity Income Fund, Pilot Small
Capitalization Equity Fund, Pilot U.S. Government Securities Fund, Pilot
Intermediate U.S. Government Securities Fund, Pilot Municipal Bond Fund, Pilot
Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Pilot Diversified Bond Income Fund, and Pilot
Growth Fund are separate portfolios (individually, a "Portfolio"; collectively,
the "Portfolios") of The Pilot Funds (the "Fund"). The Fund is a Massachusetts
business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. All of the
Portfolios are diversified. The Fund currently offers fourteen Portfolios. The
accompanying financial statements are those of the nine portfolios only.
 
The Portfolios each offer three classes of shares: Pilot Shares, Class A Shares,
and Class B Shares. Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that
Class A Shares and Class B Shares bear the fees payable under the Fund's
Distribution Plan. Class B Shares of Intermediate U.S. Government Securities
Fund and Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund have not been sold as of February 28,
1997. Diversified Bond Income Fund and Growth Fund commenced operations on
October 21, 1996 by offering Pilot Shares, Class A Shares, and Class B Shares.
 
On August 29, 1996 Boatmen's Bancshares Inc. ("Bancshares") the parent of
Boatmen's Trust Company ("Boatmen's"), the Funds investment adviser, entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), with NationsBank
Corporation. The Merger Agreement provides that Bancshares will merge with and
into a wholly owned subsidiary of NationsBank Corporation. The merger was
consummated in January, 1997.
 
The Fund entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the
"Reorganization Agreement") with Nations Fund, Inc., Nations Fund Trust and
Nations Fund Portfolio, Inc. ("The Nations Funds"). The agreement contemplates
that each of fourteen investment portfolios of the Fund will transfer
substantially all of their assets and liabilities of the Fund to a corresponding
Portfolio of the Nations Funds. The Board of Trustees of the Fund and the Fund's
shareholders, at a special shareholder meeting held December 18, 1996, each
approved the Reorganization Agreement to become effective on or about May 16,
1997.
 
Growth and Income Fund seeks capital appreciation and current income. Equity
Income Fund seeks current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation. Small
Capitalization Equity Fund and Growth Fund seek long-term capital growth. U.S.
Government Fund and Intermediate U.S. Government Fund each seek total return and
preservation of capital. Municipal Bond Fund and Intermediate Municipal Bond
Fund seek current income free of federal income tax as is consistent with
preservation of capital. Diversified Bond Income seeks current income and,
secondarily, total return.
 
Boatmen's serves as the Fund's custodian. Nationsbanc Advisor Inc. serves as the
investment advisor of the Funds (See Note 3). BISYS Fund Services Limited
Partnership ("BISYS") serves as the Fund's administrator and Pilot Funds
Distributor Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of BISYS, serves as the
distributor of the Fund's shares. BISYS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
BISYS Group, Inc.
 
The Pilot Growth and Income Fund, Pilot Growth Fund, and Pilot Diversified Bond
Income Fund Financial Statements have been audited for the period ending
February 28, 1997. Pilot Equity Income Fund, Pilot Small Capitalization Equity
Fund, Pilot U.S. Government Securities Fund, Pilot Intermediate U.S. Government
Securities Fund, Pilot Municipal Bond Fund, and Pilot Intermediate Municipal
Bond Fund Financial Statements are unaudited for the period ending February 28,
1997.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of the financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
February 28, 1997
 
==========================================================
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
A. Investment Valuation
 
Portfolio securities are valued as follows: (a) securities that are traded on
any U.S. or foreign stock exchange or the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") are valued at the last sale price
on that exchange or NASDAQ prior to the Portfolio's valuation time; if no sale
occurs, securities traded on a U.S. exchange or NASDAQ are valued at the mean
between the closing bid and closing asked price and securities traded on a
foreign exchange will be valued at the official bid price; (b) over-the-counter
stocks not quoted on NASDAQ are valued at the last sale price prior to the
Portfolio's valuation time or, if no sale occurs, at the mean between the last
bid and asked price; (c) debt securities are valued by a pricing service
selected by Boatmen's and approved by the Trustees of the Fund; these prices
reflect broker/dealer supplied valuations and electronic data processing
techniques if those prices are deemed by Boatmen's to be representative of
market values at the Portfolio's valuation time; and (d) all other securities
and assets, for which quotations supplied are not representative of current
market values or for which quotations are not readily available, are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the
Trustees of the Fund. Money market instruments held by a Portfolio with a
remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost which
approximates market value.
 
B. Repurchase Agreements
 
The custodian for the Portfolios and other banks acting in a subcustodian
capacity take possession of the collateral pledged for investments in repurchase
agreements. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis
to determine that the value, including accrued interest, is not less than 102%
of the repurchase price, including accrued interest. In the event of the
seller's default of the obligation to repurchase, the Portfolios have the right
to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the
obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy
by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the
collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
 
C. Futures Contracts
 
The Small Capitalization Equity Fund and the Growth Fund may enter into futures
contracts on securities and futures based on securities indices. The Portfolio
will do so to hedge against anticipated changes in securities values that would
otherwise have an adverse effect upon the value of portfolio securities or upon
securities to be acquired.
 
Futures contracts involve brokerage costs, which may be less than 1% of the
contract price, and require the Portfolio to deposit as margin into a segregated
custodial account an amount of cash or liquid securities equal to approximately
2% to 5% of the value of each futures contract. The Portfolio's position in the
futures market will be marked-to-market on a daily basis; the Portfolio may
subsequently be required to make "variation" margin payments depending upon
whether its futures position declines or rises in value.
 
Positions taken in the futures markets are not usually held until the expiration
of the contract but, instead, are normally liquidated through offsetting
transactions, which may result in a profit or a loss. Nevertheless, the
Portfolio may instead make or take delivery of the underlying securities
whenever it appears economically advantageous for it to do so.
 
Futures contracts on securities indices do not require the physical delivery of
securities, but merely provide for gains and losses resulting from changes in
the market value of a contract. On the contract's expiration date a final cash
settlement occurs and the futures positions are closed out.

==========================================================
 
Changes in the market value of a particular futures contract reflect changes in
the value of the securities comprising the index on which the futures contract
is based.
 
D. Securities Transactions and Investment Income
 
Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and
losses from sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including
accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on investments, is accrued
daily. Investment income of each Portfolio is allocated to the separate classes
of shares based upon their relative net assets.
 
E. Dividends to Shareholders
 
Dividends of U.S. Government Securities Fund, Intermediate U.S. Government
Securities Fund, Municipal Bond Fund, Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, and
Diversified Bond Income Fund are declared daily to shareholders of record at the
close of business on the day of declaration and paid monthly. Dividends of
Growth and Income Fund, Equity Income Fund, Growth Fund and Small Capitalization
Equity Fund are declared and paid monthly to shareholders of record at the close
of business on the day of declaration. Distributions of net realized gains, if
any, will be paid at least annually. However, to the extent that net realized
gains of a Portfolio can be offset by capital loss carryovers, such gains will
not be distributed. Dividends and distributions are recorded by the Portfolios
on the ex-dividend date.
 
F. Federal Taxes
 
It is each Portfolio's policy to comply or continue to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment
company taxable and tax-exempt income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no
federal tax provisions are required.
 
G. Organizational Expenses
 
Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its organization and registration
of shares have been deferred and are amortized using the straight line method
over a period not to exceed five years from the commencement of the public
offering of shares of the Portfolios.
 
H. Expenses
 
Expenses incurred by the Fund that do not specifically relate to an individual
portfolio of the Fund are allocated to the portfolios based on each portfolio's
relative net assets. The expenses of each Portfolio (other than expenses
incurred pursuant to the Distribution Plans) are allocated to the separate
classes of shares based upon their relative net assets.

C. Distribution Agreements
 
The Portfolios adopted Distribution Plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
Act for its Class A and Class B Shares. Under these Plans, the Distributor
receives payments for distribution and support services. The Distribution Plan
for Class A Shares authorizes payments to the Distributor and service
organizations for personal services provided to Class A shareholders and/or the
maintenance of shareholder accounts.
 
Payments under the Distribution Plan for Class A Shares may not exceed 0.25% (on
an annual basis) of the average daily net assets of the shares to which such
Plan relates. If more money is due the Distributor than it can collect in any
month because of this limitation, the unpaid amount may be carried forward until
it can be paid. Similarly, if in any month the Distributor does not expend the
entire amount to which it would otherwise be entitled, this amount may be used
as a credit and drawn upon to permit the payment of expenses in the future.
Neither of these amounts, however, is payable beyond the fiscal year in which
they accrue.
 
Distribution payments under the Distribution Plan for Class B Shares may not
exceed 1.00% (on an annual basis) of the average daily net assets of the Class B
Shares. Not more than 0.25% of such value will be used to compensate service
organizations for personal services provided to Class B shareholders and/or the
maintenance of shareholder accounts. Not more than 0.75% of such value will be
paid to the Distributor as reimbursement for commissions and transaction fees as
well as expenses related to other promotional and distribution activities.
 
Actual distribution expenses paid by the Distributor with respect to Class B
Shares for any given year may exceed the distribution fees and contingent
deferred sales charges received with respect to those Shares. These excess
expenses may be reimbursed by a Portfolio or its Class B Shareholders out of
contingent deferred sales charges and distribution payments in future years as
long as the Distribution Plan for Class B Shares is in effect.

Funds IV Trust ("Funds IV") pursuant to which all of the assets and liabilities
of each Funds IV fund transferred to a Portfolio or Portfolios of the Fund in
exchange for shares of the corresponding Portfolio of the the Fund. Funds IV
Aggressive Stock Appreciation Fund transferred its assets and liabilities to the
Growth Fund. The Funds IV Value Stock Appreciation Fund and the Funds IV Stock
Appreciation Fund transferred their assets and liabilities to the Growth and
Income Fund. The Funds IV Bond Income and the Funds IV Intermediate Bond Income
Funds transferred their assets and liabilities to the Diversified Bond Income
Fund. The Reorganization, which qualified as a tax-free exchange for Federal
income tax purposes, was completed October 21, 1996 following approval by
shareholders of Funds IV at a special shareholder meeting. The following is a

Report of Independent Public Accountants
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
To the Shareholders and Trustees of the Pilot Growth and Income Fund, Pilot
Growth Fund, and Pilot Diversified Bond Income Fund of the Pilot Funds:
 
    We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the
Pilot Growth and Income Fund, Pilot Growth Fund, and Pilot Diversified Bond
Income Fund of the Pilot Funds (a Massachusetts business trust), including the
portfolios of investments as of February 28, 1997, and the related statements of
operations for the period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets
and financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements
and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.
 
    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
February 28, 1997 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Pilot Growth and Income Fund, Pilot Growth Fund, and Pilot Diversified Bond
Income Fund as of February 28, 1997, the results their operations and the
changes in their net assets and financial highlights for the periods presented
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
