KEY MONEY MARKET MUTUAL FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
    We are pleased to present our Semi-Annual Report of the Key Money Market
Mutual Fund, formerly known as the SBSF Money Market Fund, for the six month
period ended May 31, 1996. While the Fund is operating under a different name,
its objective remains the same and the principals of Spears, Benzak, Salomon &
Farrell, Inc. continue to provide active management of the portfolio as
investment adviser to the Fund.
 
FIRST HALF REVIEW
 
    Although long-term interest rates increased by nearly 100 basis points in
the first six months of our fiscal year, the short end of the yield curve moved
in the opposite direction, as three-month Treasury bill rates dropped from
almost 5.4% at the end of November to just over 5.0% on May 31. The Federal
Reserve contributed to this decline when it lowered the Fed Funds target rate by
25 basis points on January 31, reacting to near-recession conditions exacerbated
by debilitating weather in the northeast and the temporary shut-downs of the
Federal Government. As a result, the 7-day effective yield of the Key Money
Market Mutual Fund fell from 4.90% (7-day yield 4.78%) at the end of November to
4.58% (7-day yield 4.48%) at the end of May.+
 
SECOND HALF OUTLOOK
 
    Investors enter the second half of the year faced with a confusing array of
conflicting economic and financial market signals. Business activity has been
surprisingly strong in recent months, fostering fears of labor shortages and
nascent inflation, pressuring long-term interest rates and sparking predictions
of Fed tightening before summer's end. On the other hand, evidence of
over-stretched consumer balance sheets portends an eventual slowdown in
consumption, commodity prices are easing and intense competition is provoking
price wars in everything from air fares to corn flakes.
 
    We think that the weight of the evidence points to a slowdown in economic
growth in the second half of 1996, which promises to keep the trajectory of
corporate profits modest. Of greatest concern is the substantial build-up in
debt on individual balance sheets. Over the past two and a half years, consumer
installment debt has increased 40%, while incomes have increased only 14% over
the same period. Hence, even though job growth has been impressive and the stock
market's rise has added nearly $2 trillion to household net worth over the last
18 months, bankruptcies have risen sharply and credit card delinquencies are at
a cyclical high. Such stress imperils consumption growth in the months ahead,
putting two-thirds of overall gross domestic product at risk of deceleration.
 
    The economy is not without its bright spots; industrial activity is
satisfactory, and lean inventories suggest that production will likely remain
elevated in the second half; the outlook for trade is improving, as overseas
growth appears to have bottomed; and election-year policies may yield some
fiscal stimulus before November. Unemployment is likely to remain low, which
could put modest upward pressure on wages and keep inflation in the 2.7% to 3.2%
range, even if commodity prices fall further. This adds up to what we believe
will be nominal GDP growth of 5% to 6% for the balance of the year. Although
slower than the second quarter's expansion, this pace of economic activity is
likely to be strong enough to keep fixed income investors vigilant and long-term
interest rates centered near 7%. The Fed is likely to keep a close eye on unit
labor costs for signs of inflation, and we would not be surprised to see some
modest tightening on the short end of the yield curve before summer's end; such
a decision would likely raise the yield of the Fund modestly.
 
                                                                     (Continued)

    The Key Money Market Mutual Fund remains dedicated to its objective of
providing our investors with high current income consistent with the
preservation of capital. The Fund has recently implemented certain new

                                        /s/ FRANK A. WEIL

  An investment in the Key Money Market Mutual Fund is neither insured nor
  guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Yields will fluctuate and there can be no
  assurance that the Key Money Market Mutual Fund will be able to maintain a
  stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. Yields quoted represent past
  performance and are not predictive of future results.
 
+ The advisory fee for the Key Money Market Mutual Fund was waived during these
  periods. Had such fees not been waived, the unsubsidized 7-day effective
  yields would have been 4.63% and 4.32% for the periods ended November 30, 1995
  and May 31, 1996, respectively. In addition, the 7-day yield would have been
  4.53% at November 30, 1995 and 4.23% at May 31, 1996. The advisory fee waiver
  was voluntary and may be modified or terminated at any time.

KEY MONEY MARKET MUTUAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE 1 -- GENERAL
 
Key Mutual Funds (the "Company") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (the "Act"), as an 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." The Company is a
series company currently issuing capital stock of several different investment
portfolios one of which, Key Money Market Mutual Fund (the "Fund"), is included
in this semi-annual report. The Company has 25 billion shares of $.01 par value
capital stock authorized. Prior to July 12, 1996, the Fund was known as SBSF
Money Market Fund.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The
preparation of financial statements requires the Administrator to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
 
(a) INVESTMENT VALUATION:  The Fund values its portfolio securities at 2:00 p.m.
(Eastern Time) on each business day of the Fund 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. 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 Fund on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares dividends daily from net
investment income; such dividends are paid monthly. Distributions 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 may be considered either 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 investment portfolio of the Company. Expenses directly attributable to
the Fund are charged to the Fund's operations; expenses which are applicable to
the several investment portfolios of the Company are allocated among them in
relation to the net assets of each investment portfolio or on another reasonable
basis.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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 Fund's
investment adviser (the "Adviser" or "Spears") 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 KeyBank
National Association (formerly Society National Bank, N.A.) and KeyCorp, a
financial services company. This change of control of the Adviser was deemed
under the Act to be an assignment of the Investment Advisory Agreement then in
effect between the Fund and the Adviser, which, in accordance with the terms of
the Act, resulted in the termination of such Investment Advisory Agreement. At
the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund held on March 29, 1995, the
shareholders of the Fund approved a new Investment Advisory Agreement with the
Adviser, which was substantially similar to, including the same fee schedules
as, the Fund's previous agreement. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Company held on February 15, 1996, the Board approved the continuance of the
Investment Advisory Agreement until its next annual consideration required under
the Act.

KEY MONEY MARKET MUTUAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Fees incurred by the Fund, 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 the Fund at the annual rate of 0.25%.
The Investment Advisory Agreement further provides that if in any fiscal year
the aggregate expenses of the Fund, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses, exceed the expense limitation of any
state having jurisdiction over the Fund, the Adviser will reimburse the Fund for
the excess expense to the extent required by such state laws. During the
six-month period ended May 31, 1996, advisory fees incurred by the Fund amounted
to $33,070, which were voluntarily waived by the Adviser.
 
Prior to April 1, 1996, Spears, in addition to serving the Fund as Adviser,
served as Administrator to the Fund pursuant to an Administration Agreement. For
services rendered by Spears and related expenses borne by Spears as
Administrator, the Fund was obligated to pay Spears a fee, computed daily and
payable monthly, based on the average daily net assets of the 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.
 
Concord Holding Corporation ("Concord") served as Administrator to the Fund (the
"Administrator") during the period from April 1, 1996 through July 11, 1996
pursuant to an Administration Agreement. In this capacity, Concord provided
facilities, equipment, statistical and research data, clerical services, fund
accounting and internal compliance services and personnel necessary to carry out
all administrative services required for the operation of the business affairs
of the Fund. For services rendered by Concord and related expenses borne by
Concord as Administrator, the Fund was obligated to pay Concord a fee, computed
daily and payable monthly, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund at
an annual rate of 0.25 of 1% of the first $50 million and 0.15 of 1% of such net
assets in excess of $50 million. Pursuant to its authority to delegate its
responsibilities under the Administration Agreement, Concord entered into a
Sub-Administration Agreement with Spears whereby Spears performed certain
sub-administrative and fund accounting services for the Fund at the expense of
Concord.
 
On July 12, 1996, BISYS Fund Services Limited Partnership, operating under the
name BISYS Fund Services, ("BISYS") assumed responsibilities as Administrator to
the Fund. The service and fee arrangements under the new Administration
Agreement with BISYS are substantially similar to the previous agreement with
Concord. Spears continues to serve as Sub-Administrator pursuant to a new
Sub-Administration Agreement with BISYS dated July 12, 1996. In addition to
serving the Fund as Administrator, BISYS also serves as independent distributor
(the "Distributor") of the Fund's capital stock.
 
(b) DIRECTORS' FEES:  Fees of $7,500 per annum, and $750 per meeting, are paid
to each director of the Company.
 
(c) DISTRIBUTION PLAN AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLAN:  Prior to July 12, 1996,
pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted under Rule 12b-1 under the Act, the
Fund was permitted to make payments for certain distribution related expenses
and to compensate or reimburse brokers, dealers and others in connection with
sales of Fund shares and service to shareholder accounts in an amount up to
0.25% of the net average daily asset value of shares of the Fund on an
annualized basis. No payments were made by the Fund under this plan during the
six-month period ended May 31, 1996. On July 12, 1996, the Company implemented a
revised distribution plan for the Fund (the "Distribution Plan"). Separate
payments are not currently authorized under the Distribution Plan except to the
extent that any portion of fees paid under a Shareholder Servicing Plan
(described below) are subsequently deemed to be for services primarily intended
to result in the sale of Fund shares.
 
Also on July 12, 1996, the Company implemented a Shareholder Servicing Plan
under which the Fund may pay fees of up to an annual rate of 0.25% of its
average daily net assets for fees incurred in connection with the personal
service and the maintenance of accounts holding the shares of the Fund. Such
agreements may be entered between the Company, on behalf of the Fund, and
various shareholder servicing agents including the Distributor and affiliates of
KeyCorp and the Adviser.
 
(d) CUSTODIAN FEES:  Key Trust Company of Ohio, N.A. ("Key Trust"), a subsidiary
of KeyCorp and an affiliate of the Adviser, is the custodian for the Fund's cash
and securities. Custodian fees, as reflected in the accompanying statement of
operations, represent fees paid by the Fund to Key Trust for services it
performs as custodian.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE 4 -- FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
 
It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all

KEY MUTUAL FUNDS

Dear Shareholders:
 
We are pleased to present the Semi-Annual Report for the SBSF portfolios of the
Key Mutual Funds for the six month period ended May 31, 1996.
 
FIRST HALF REVIEW
 
The domestic equity market defied the odds in the first half of our fiscal year,
delivering above-average returns despite the typically challenging combination
of rising long-term interest rates and decelerating corporate profits. Investors
poured money into equities at an unprecedented pace, marking their most dramatic
short-term shift in the composition of household balance sheets in forty years.
An unusually high percentage of these cash flows were directed at the most
aggressive, highest risk asset classes, contributing to a meaningful increase in
day-to-day and week-to-week volatility. Nowhere was this more evident than in
smaller capitalization issues, which lagged their larger capitalization
counterparts in early 1996 before soaring to record heights in April and May.
 
Our equity funds participated in the market's advance, as illustrated in the
charts that follow this commentary, which depict each Fund's performance, net of
expenses and fees.
 
SBSF FUND
 
The performance of the SBSF Fund was helped in the first half by its relative
overweighting in the energy and natural resources sector, which benefited from
generally rising energy prices throughout the period. Our holdings in gold
mining also contributed positively. Rising interest rates hindered the
performance of the Fund's financial stocks, although a number of its insurance
holdings still bested the benchmarks thanks to surprisingly strong earnings
reports. We continue to believe that financial stocks represent one of the few
remaining undervalued sectors of the market, and the Fund enters the second half
of its fiscal year with an important commitment to these issues.
 
SBSF CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES FUND
 
The stock market's buoyancy helped the SBSF Convertible Securities Fund overcome
declines in the bond market and post another strong result in the first six
months of the fiscal year. Appreciation in issuers' underlying equity
neutralized the impact of higher interest rates, particularly for the Fund's oil
and gas and capital spending related holdings. The Fund's strategy of seeking
high yield (in addition to appreciation) also aided performance, as its dividend
and interest income contributed a meaningful portion of its total return for the
period.
 
SBSF CAPITAL GROWTH FUND
 
As evidence of slowing profits mounted in early 1996, investors flocked to those
companies that continued to generate strong earnings gains, often ignoring
valuation in favor of a good growth story. Even technology stocks, shunned in
the first quarter, came back into favor in April and May, which helped the SBSF
Capital Growth Fund rebound from a slow start to record a strong first half of
the fiscal year. While the Fund retains substantial holdings in technology,
telecommunications and biotechnology, it enters the second half of the fiscal
year well-diversified across a broad range of industries, with investments in
companies sporting an average earnings growth rate of over 40%.
 
                                                                     (Continued)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SECOND HALF OUTLOOK
 
Investors enter the second half of the year faced with a confusing array of
conflicting economic and financial market signals. Business activity has been
surprisingly strong in recent months, fostering fears of labor shortages and
nascent inflation, pressuring long-term interest rates and sparking predictions
of Fed tightening before summer's end. On the other hand, evidence of
over-stretched consumer balance sheets portends an eventual slowdown in
consumption, commodity prices are easing and intense competition is provoking
price wars in everything from air fares to corn flakes. Stock market bulls
highlight the mountain of cash and equivalents that could fuel demand for shares
and argue that price/earnings multiples are reasonable given current inflation
and interest rates. Bears note that speculation is rife and valuations are
excessive by nearly every measure other than P/E, suggesting that the setback
suffered by small stocks in June was a warning shot across the bow of the
overall market.
 
We think that the weight of the evidence points to a slowdown in economic growth
in the second half of 1996, which promises to keep the trajectory of corporate
profits modest. Of greatest concern is the substantial build-up in
debt on individual balance sheets. Over the past two and a half years, consumer
installment debt has increased 40%, while incomes have increased only 14% over
the same period. Hence, even though job growth has been impressive and the stock
market's rise has added nearly $2 trillion to household net worth over the last
18 months, bankruptcies have risen sharply and credit card delinquencies are at
a cyclical high. Such stress imperils consumption growth in the months ahead,
putting two-thirds of overall gross domestic product at risk of deceleration.
 
The economy is not without its bright spots: industrial activity is
satisfactory, and lean inventories suggest that production will likely remain
elevated in the second half; the outlook for trade is improving, as overseas
growth appears to have bottomed; and election-year politics may yield some
fiscal stimulus before November. Unemployment is likely to remain low, which
could put modest upward pressure on wages and keep inflation in the 2.7% to 3.2%
range, even if commodity prices fall further. This adds up to what we believe
will be nominal GDP growth, which is a proxy for overall corporate revenue
growth, of 5% to 6% for the balance of the year.
 
Based on our analysis of productivity and the inability of companies to pass
through increased costs due to the evaporation of pricing power, we believe that
operating margins have reached their cyclical peak, and we therefore expect
profits to grow by 5% or less for the balance of 1996. Without vigorous profit
growth, stocks will have to rely upon valuation to propel further gains. We see
little help from bonds; though slower, economic activity is likely to remain
strong enough to keep fixed income investors vigilant and long-term interest
rates centered near 7%. Moreover, regardless of the valuation measure employed,
stocks appear fully (if not excessively) valued, and despite the lure of
liquidity, we are not tempted to say "It's different this time." Any multiple
expansion will merely accentuate the potential risk of meaningful loss in the
event of subsequent negative surprises. Such risk is already visible in certain
pockets of the market, where speculation has created valuation bubbles that are
just waiting to burst.
 
The market's heightened volatility, while unsettling, actually enhances the
value of our disciplined approach to buying and selling securities. Emotional
swings can dramatically impact the price of a security in a matter of days,
while its intrinsic value tends to change much more slowly. By maintaining
strict limits, we have been able to establish or add to positions in outstanding
companies on temporary price weakness; similarly, we have taken advantage of
investors' fervor to sell positions at prices that equal or exceed our estimate
of their underlying worth.
 
                                                                     (Continued)

Finding value is rarely easy. With so many investors, professional and amateur
alike, scouring the markets for opportunities, inefficiencies are quickly
corrected and the likelihood of finding an "undiscovered" story is low.
Nonetheless, we believe that sound fundamental research can point us toward
reasonably priced securities that can generate superior long-term returns, and
we relish the challenge of singling out these great investments for inclusion in
our Funds. We appreciate your support, and we welcome your questions and
comments.

KEY MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE 1 -- GENERAL
 
Key Mutual Funds (the "Company") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (the "Act"), as an 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 several different investment
portfolios, three of which: the SBSF Fund, the SBSF Convertible Securities Fund
and the SBSF Capital Growth Fund (collectively, the "Funds"), are included in
this semi-annual report. The Company has 25 billion 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. The
preparation of financial statements requires the Administrator to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
 
(a) INVESTMENT VALUATION:  Securities traded on a national securities exchange
or the Nasdaq National Market are valued as of the close of regular trading of
the New York Stock Exchange which is generally 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on each
business day of the Funds. 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 at fair value as
determined in good faith under the supervision of the Board of Directors.
Short-term investments with maturities of sixty days or less 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 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, distributions 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 may be considered either 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 investment portfolio of the Company. Expenses directly attributable to
each investment portfolio are charged to that investment portfolio's operations;
expenses which are applicable to the several investment portfolios are allocated
among them in relation to the net assets of each investment portfolio 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" or "Spears") 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 KeyBank
National Association (formerly Society National Bank, N.A.) and KeyCorp, a
financial services company. This change of control of the Adviser was deemed
under the Act to be an assignment of the Investment Advisory Agreement then in
effect between the Funds and the Adviser, which, in accordance with the terms of
the Act, resulted in the termination of such 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. At a meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Company held on February 15, 1996, the Board approved the
continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement until its next annual
consideration required under the Act.
 
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 annual rate of
0.75%. 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 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.
 
Prior to April 1, 1996, Spears, in addition to serving the Funds as Adviser,
served as Administrator to the Funds pursuant to an Administration Agreement.
For services rendered by Spears and related expenses borne by Spears as
Administrator, each Fund was obligated to pay Spears 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. Spears voluntarily
waived administration fees due from the SBSF Capital Growth Fund during the
month of December 1995 in the amount of $2,484. On January 1, 1996, Spears
discontinued its voluntary waiver of administration fees due from the SBSF
Capital Growth Fund and, accordingly, received administration fees from such
Fund through March 31, 1996.
 
Concord Holding Corporation ("Concord") served as Administrator to the Funds
(the "Administrator") during the period from April 1, 1996 through July 11, 1996
pursuant to an Administration Agreement. In this capacity, Concord provided
facilities, equipment, statistical and research data, clerical services, fund
accounting and internal compliance services and personnel necessary to carry out
all administrative services required for the operation of the business affairs
of the Funds. For services rendered by Concord and related expenses borne by
Concord as Administrator, each Fund was obligated to pay Concord 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 and 0.15 of 1% of such net
assets in excess of $50 million. During the period April 1, 1996 through July
11, 1996, Concord voluntarily waived administration fees for the SBSF Fund in
the amount of $4,115. Pursuant to its authority to delegate its responsibilities
under the Administration Agreement, Concord entered into a Sub-Administration
Agreement with Spears whereby Spears performed certain sub-administrative and
fund accounting services for the Funds at the expense of Concord.
 
On July 12, 1996, BISYS Fund Services Limited Partnership, operating under the
name BISYS Fund Services, ("BISYS") assumed responsibilities as Administrator to
the Funds. The service and fee arrangements under the new Administration
Agreement with BISYS are substantially similar to the previous agreement with
Concord. Spears continues to serve as Sub-Administrator pursuant to a new
Sub-Administration Agreement with BISYS dated July 12, 1996. In addition to
serving the Funds as Administrator, BISYS also serves as independent distributor
(the "Distributor") of the Funds' capital stock.
 
(b) DIRECTORS' FEES:  Fees of $7,500 per annum, and $750 per meeting, are paid
to each director of the Company.

(c) DISTRIBUTION PLAN AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLAN:  Prior to July 12, 1996,
pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted under Rule 12b-1 under the Act, the
Funds were permitted to make payments for certain distribution related expenses
and to compensate or reimburse brokers, dealers and others in connection with
sales of Fund shares and service to shareholder accounts in an amount of up to
0.25% of the average daily net asset value of shares of each Fund on an
annualized basis. During the six-month period ended May 31, 1996, the SBSF Fund,
SBSF Convertible Securities Fund and the SBSF Capital Growth Fund paid $2,204,
$8,189 and $419, respectively, under such distribution plan. On July 12, 1996,
the Company implemented a revised distribution plan for the Funds (the
"Distribution Plan"). Separate payments are not currently authorized under the
Distribution Plan except to the extent that any portion of fees paid under a
Shareholder Servicing Plan (described below) are subsequently deemed to be for
services primarily intended to result in the sale of Fund shares.
 
Also on July 12, 1996, the Company adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan under
which the Funds may pay fees of up to an annual rate of 0.25% of their average
daily net assets for fees incurred in connection with the personal service and
the maintenance of accounts holding shares of the Funds. Such agreements may be
entered between the Company, on behalf of the Funds, and various shareholder
servicing agents including the Distributor and affiliates of KeyCorp and the
Adviser.
 
(d) CUSTODIAN FEES:  Key Trust Company of Ohio, N.A. ("Key Trust"), a subsidiary
of KeyCorp and an affiliate of the Adviser, is the custodian for the Funds' cash
and securities. Custodian fees, as reflected in the accompanying statements of
operations, represent fees paid by the Funds to Key Trust for services it
performs as custodian.

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.
 
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 and it reclassified its net investment loss of $14,224 from
accumulated net investment loss to accumulated net realized gain.
