Dear Shareholders:
 
We are pleased to present our first Annual Report under the new banner of Key
Mutual Funds for the year ended November 30, 1995. While SBSF Funds, Inc. is now
operating under a different name, the principals of our adviser, Spears, Benzak,
Salomon & Farrell, Inc., continue to provide active management of each of the
SBSF portfolios. Our commitment to providing you with the highest level of
service also remains the same, as do the names of our four Funds: the SBSF Fund,
the SBSF Convertible Securities Fund, the SBSF Capital Growth Fund and the SBSF
Money Market Fund. You will now find the Funds in your newspapers listed under
the heading "Key Funds."
 
1995 IN REVIEW
 
Buoyed by near-perfect conditions, the domestic financial markets enjoyed a
spectacular year in 1995. Defying predictions of modest returns, stocks
registered their strongest annual gain in over three decades, while bonds
recovered from one of their worst years ever to post one of their best advances
since the 1920s. Every significant domestic equity benchmark bulled its way to
all-time highs, including the widely followed Dow Jones Industrial Average,
which smashed through both 4,000 and 5,000 within the span of nine months,
barely pausing to enjoy the accomplishments.
 
Our equity Funds participated in the market's advance, posting total returns
well above their historical averages. Included herein are charts illustrating
the investment performance of each of our equity Funds, net of expenses and
fees.
 
SBSF FUND
 
The SBSF Fund's performance was greatly aided by its heavy concentration in
financial stocks, including banks, insurance companies and financial
intermediaries, which benefited from the decline in interest rates throughout
the year. A number of portfolio companies were the target of takeover bids at
substantial premiums to prevailing market prices, and several more announced
significant restructurings that were warmly greeted by investors. Although the
SBSF Fund's exposure to technology was limited due to valuation considerations,
its major holdings in this rapidly growing industry delivered very strong
performance.
 
SBSF CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES FUND
 
The convertible securities market enjoyed a strong year as well, benefiting from
the strong performance of both the stock and the bond markets. The SBSF
Convertible Securities Fund posted better than 20% returns for the third time in
five years, boosted by its investments in certain companies that were the
subject of takeover bids and by its holdings in the financial and health care
industries, including pharmaceuticals. The SBSF Convertible Securities Fund
maintains its philosophy of seeking high-yielding securities, which provide
ample income while offering substantial long-term appreciation potential.
 
SBSF CAPITAL GROWTH FUND
 
As hot as technology stocks were throughout much of 1995, biotechnology issues
were even hotter, especially in the fourth quarter. The SBSF Capital Growth Fund
was well-represented in both industries, as well as the telecommunications,
entertainment and financial services industries, all of which contributed to the
Fund's strong performance. We think that investors will favor companies with
superior earnings growth in 1996, and the SBSF Capital Growth Fund is fully
invested in small and mid-capitalization companies that are expected to deliver
such favorable profit gains.
 
SBSF MONEY MARKET FUND
 
The Federal Reserve reversed course in 1995. After starting the year with its
seventh consecutive increase in the Federal Funds rate, the Fed adopted a policy
of monetary ease in July when it lowered both the Fed Funds and the discount
rate. As a result, the 7-day effective yield of the SBSF Money Market Fund fell
from a high of 5.59% in April to 4.90% (SEC yield 4.78%) at the end of November,
little changed from its year-earlier level.
 
THE OUTLOOK FOR 1996
 
Flush with the wonderful returns of 1995, investors begin 1996 asking, is an
encore in store for this year?
 
Maybe, maybe not. History suggests that the probability of sustaining such
extraordinary returns for more than one year is low. However, the preponderance
of evidence points to a continuation in 1996 of the slow growth, low inflation
economic environment that is quite favorable for financial assets. Consumers'
debt burdens are high, savings are low, and there appears to be little pent-up
demand for anything despite lower financing costs. The industrial side of the
economy is weak, restrained by tepid final demand and an ongoing inventory
correction. Trade has yet to show any bounce, and government expenditures
promise to be restrained regardless of the final details of any budget
compromise. Even investment spending is expected to decelerate, though it will
likely remain the strongest component of GDP, bolstered by corporations' pursuit
of ever greater efficiency. Assuming that this pursuit proves successful,
earnings could grow even without the benefit of revenue gains, though at a
substantially slower pace than in 1995. Perhaps most important, inflation is
expected to remain in check, as productivity enhancements and modest wage and
benefit increases neutralize any impact of higher commodity costs (e.g., natural
gas, which has soared with the onset of cold weather). Steady inflation of
2.5%-3.0% leaves room for the Federal Reserve to lower short-term interest rates
further, which could provide support for stock and bond prices.

On the other hand, valuation may be a constraint on the market's upside
potential. Despite their reasonable price/earnings ratio, stocks enter the new
year with record high price/sales and price/book value ratios and a record low
dividend yield. Were interest rates to drop, the expected P/E ratio would
expand; however, we are concerned that earnings estimates based on this benign
economic outlook are too high, and question whether the tarnish of
disappointment would overwhelm the favorable influence of lower rates.
 
The disturbing political circus transpiring in Washington reminds us that all
economic and stock market forecasts are more suspect than usual this year. Not
only are projections being made with incomplete data (the result of the partial
government shutdown), the ultimate course of many significant sectors relies
upon the favor of our elected officials, whose actions are even less predictable
than investors'. With this caveat in mind, we believe there is a growing risk
that the consensus outlook is too optimistic. The likelihood of a recession has
increased as employment trends have deteriorated, threatening income growth,
undermining confidence and dampening consumers' propensity to spend. Should the
economy weaken meaningfully, earnings will almost certainly decline, as we doubt
that costs could be cut fast enough to compensate for revenue shortfalls. In
reaction, we think stocks would suffer a long-overdue correction of at least
10%, the first decline of that magnitude since 1990.
 
Regardless of which economic scenario plays out, the ingredients for a stalemate
between the bulls and the bears are in place. We think that domestic stocks will
trade within a tighter range in 1996 than last year, with perhaps 15%-20%
separating the high and the low for the year. It is difficult to envision
substantially greater upside potential, given meager earnings prospects at best;
on the other hand, bear markets rarely begin when the Fed is easing.
 
The challenge facing investors, ourselves included, is identifying those
companies that are best equipped to weather the slow/no growth environment
ahead. In this environment, we believe that the market will distinguish between
secular and cyclical earnings growth, rewarding the former with substantial
valuation premiums and penalizing the latter with unusually wide discounts.
Earliness will be the investor's bane in 1996; those who buy "value" (i.e., low
P/Es) or sell "growth" (high P/Es) too soon will likely lag the averages.
However, we will not sacrifice our value discipline to market fashion. We doubt
that the high fliers of 1995 will continue to lead the way this year, and we
expect to take advantage of opportunities to sell current holdings when
valuations are extended. Concurrently, we will seek to establish new positions
in stocks that we judge to offer outstanding long-term potential, but only when
we believe the price exposes our portfolios to reasonable risk.
 
Each new year brings new challenges and new opportunities. We look forward to
navigating what promises to be an interesting and sometimes surprising voyage
through the market's murky waters, and we welcome your questions and comments.

An investment in the SBSF Money Market Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by
the U.S. Government. Yields will fluctuate and there can be no assurance that
the SBSF Money Market Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of
$1.00 per share. The SBSF Capital Growth Fund maintains investments in small
capitalization companies. These investments have historically experienced a
greater degree of volatility than their large capitalization counterparts.

KEY MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE 1 -- GENERAL
 
Key Mutual Funds (the "Company") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (the "Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company.
The Company, incorporated in Maryland on May 26, 1983 under the name SBSF Funds,
Inc., is currently doing business under the name "Key Mutual Funds." Key Mutual
Funds is a series company currently issuing capital stock of four different
investment portfolios: SBSF Fund, SBSF Convertible Securities Fund, SBSF Capital
Growth Fund and SBSF Money Market Fund (the "Funds"). The Company has 250
million shares of $.01 par value capital stock authorized.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
(a) INVESTMENT VALUATION:  With respect to the SBSF Fund, the SBSF Convertible
Securities Fund and the SBSF Capital Growth Fund, securities traded on a
national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market are valued at 4:00
p.m. New York time on each business day. Listed and unlisted securities for
which such information is regularly reported are valued at the last sales price
or, in the absence of sales, at the mean between the most recent bid and asked
price. Listed debt securities and over-the-counter securities are valued at the
mean between the most recent bid and asked price. Securities for which
quotations are not readily available and any other assets are valued as
determined in good faith under the supervision of the Board of Directors. The
SBSF Money Market Fund values its portfolio securities at 12:00 p.m. New York
time on each business day. Short-term investments with maturities of sixty days
or less owned by the SBSF Fund, SBSF Convertible Securities Fund and SBSF
Capital Growth Fund, as well as all investments in the SBSF Money Market Fund,
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
(b) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME:  Securities transactions are
recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities
transactions are recorded on the identified cost method. Dividend income is
recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on the
accrual basis. Discounts on debt securities are accreted to interest income over
the life of the security with a corresponding increase in the security's cost
basis.
 
(c) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS:  Dividends payable to shareholders are recorded
by the Funds on the ex-dividend date. The SBSF Money Market Fund declares
dividends daily from net investment income; such dividends are paid monthly. The
SBSF Convertible Securities Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment
income quarterly. The SBSF Fund and SBSF Capital Growth Fund declare and pay
dividends from net investment income semi-annually. With respect to each Fund,
dividends from net realized capital gains, offset by loss carryovers, if any,
are declared and paid annually. The amount of dividends and distributions from
net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in
accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from generally
accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are either
considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are
permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts
based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income
and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax
purposes are reported as dividends in excess of net investment income or
distributions in excess of net realized capital gains. To the extent they exceed
net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes, they are
reported as distributions of paid-in capital.
 
(d) EXPENSES:  Assets, liabilities and operations are accounted for separately
by each Fund. Expenses directly attributable to each Fund are charged to that
Fund's operations; expenses which are applicable to the several Funds are
allocated among them in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another
reasonable basis.
 
(e) ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES:  Costs incurred in connection with the organization
of the SBSF Capital Growth Fund amounted to $29,638. Such amount is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a period not to exceed sixty months from
the date the Fund commenced operations.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE 3 -- INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATION FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
          WITH AFFILIATES:
 
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATION FEES
 
On January 18, 1995, Spears, Benzak, Salomon & Farrell, Inc., the Funds'
investment adviser (the "Adviser") entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization which provided for the subsequent acquisition of the
Adviser by KeyCorp Asset Management Holdings, Inc. ("KAMHI"), on April 5, 1995.
As a result of the acquisition, the Adviser became a wholly owned subsidiary of
KAMHI, and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Society National Bank, N.A.
and KeyCorp, a financial services company. This change of control of the
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   22
Adviser was deemed under the Act to be an assignment of the Investment Advisory
Agreement between the Funds and the Adviser, which, in accordance with the terms
of the Act, resulted in the termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement. At
the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Funds held on March 29, 1995, the
shareholders of each of the Funds approved a new Investment Advisory Agreement
with the Adviser, which is substantially similar to, including the same fee
schedules as, the Funds' previous agreements.
 
Fees incurred by the Funds, pursuant to the provisions of the Investment
Advisory Agreement with the Adviser, are payable monthly and are computed based
on the value of the average daily net assets of each Fund at the following
annual rates:
 
<TABLE>
           <S>                                                      <C>
           SBSF Fund.............................................   .75%
           SBSF Convertible Securities Fund......................   .75%
           SBSF Capital Growth Fund..............................   .75%
           SBSF Money Market Fund................................   .25%
</TABLE>
 
The Investment Advisory Agreement further provides that if in any fiscal year
the aggregate expenses of any Fund, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses, exceed the expense limitation of any
state having jurisdiction over a Fund, the Adviser, in its capacity as Adviser
and Administrator, will reimburse that Fund for the excess expense to the extent
required by such state laws. The Adviser discontinued its voluntary waiver of
advisory fees for the SBSF Capital Growth Fund on October 1, 1995. During the
year ended November 30, 1995, advisory fees incurred by the SBSF Capital Growth
Fund amounted to $48,811, of which $38,420 were waived. During the year ended
November 30, 1995, advisory fees incurred by the SBSF Money Market Fund amounted
to $65,340, which were waived by the Adviser. The Adviser presently intends to
continue to waive the advisory fees for the SBSF Money Market Fund.
 
Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, in consideration of its administration
fee, the Adviser performs clerical, accounting, regulatory compliance and
shareholder servicing for the Funds. The Adviser also provides the Funds with
personnel to perform these functions, and performs such other services as the
Funds may from time to time request. For the services rendered to the Funds and
related expenses borne by the Adviser as Administrator, each Fund pays the
Adviser a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on the average daily
net assets of each Fund at an annual rate of 0.25 of 1% of the first $50
million; 0.15 of 1% of the next $50 million; and 0.05 of 1% of such net assets
in excess of $100 million. The administration fee incurred by the SBSF Capital
Growth Fund amounted to $16,210 for the year ended November 30, 1995 and was
voluntarily waived by the Adviser. On January 1, 1996, the Adviser discontinued
its voluntary waiver of administration fees for the SBSF Capital Growth Fund.
 
(b) DIRECTORS' FEES:  Fees of $7,500 per annum, and $750 per meeting, are paid
to each director.
 
(c) DISTRIBUTION FEES:  Pursuant to a plan adopted under Rule 12b-1 under the
Act, the Funds are permitted to make distribution payments to brokers, dealers
and others ("Participants") of up to 0.25% of the net asset value of shares of
the Funds issued as a result of such Participants' sales efforts.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE 4 -- SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
 
For the year ended November 30, 1995, the cost of purchases and the proceeds
from sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, for the
SBSF Fund, the SBSF Convertible Securities Fund and the SBSF Capital Growth
Fund, amounted to:

NOTE 5 -- FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
 
It is the policy of each of the Funds to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal
income tax provision is required. Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for
the purpose of determining such compliance.
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   23
During the year ended November 30, 1995, the SBSF Capital Growth Fund utilized
net capital loss carryovers of $90,518 which were offset against 1995 capital
gain distributions. See Note 7. For the year ended November 30, 1995, the SBSF
Capital Growth Fund reclassified its net investment loss of $14,224 from
accumulated net investment loss to accumulated net realized gain.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors
and Shareholders of
Key Mutual Funds (SBSF Funds, Inc.):
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the statements of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of SBSF Fund, SBSF Convertible
Securities Fund, SBSF Capital Growth Fund and SBSF Money Market Fund, (Key
Mutual Funds (SBSF Funds, Inc.), hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at
November 30, 1995, the results of each of their operations for the year then
ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods
indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities owned at
November 30, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
