Dear Shareholder:
On behalf of the Board of Trustees of The Pilot Funds ("Pilot"), we are
pleased to invite you to a special meeting of the shareholders of the Pilot
funds named above (each a "Pilot Fund" and together, the "Pilot Funds") to be
held on April 21, 1997 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, at the offices of BISYS Fund
Services, Inc., 3435 Stelzer Road, Columbus, Ohio (the "Meeting"). At the
Meeting, shareholders of each Pilot Fund will be asked to consider a proposed
reorganization of their Pilot Fund into a corresponding portfolio of Nations
Fund Trust (each a "Nations Fund" and together the "Nations Funds").
BACKGROUND. As you may recall, Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc.
("Bancshares") recently merged into NationsBank Corporation. Prior to the
merger, Bancshares was the parent of Boatmen's Trust Company ("Boatmen's"),
investment adviser to the Pilot Funds. At Special Meetings of Pilot Fund
shareholders on December 18 and 20, 1996, you approved new investment advisory
arrangements with Boatmen's in anticipation of the Bancshares- NationsBank
Corporation merger.
At the upcoming Meeting, management is asking you to approve a
reorganization of your Pilot Fund into a corresponding Nations Fund. The Nations
Funds are an open-end investment company advised by NationsBanc Advisors, Inc.,
a subsidiary of NationsBank, N.A. If all approvals are obtained, the Pilot Funds
would be reorganized into the corresponding Nations Funds on or about May 2,
1997, when your Pilot Fund shares would be exchanged for shares of the
corresponding Nations Fund of equal value.
PILOT'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE
TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION.
PLEASE NOTE THAT PILOT SHAREHOLDERS WHO HOLD SHARES OF PILOT FUNDS
OTHER THAN THOSE LISTED ABOVE WILL RECEIVE PROXY MATERIALS UNDER SEPARATE COVER
WITH RESPECT TO
<PAGE>
PROPOSALS AFFECTING THOSE FUNDS. SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD FILL OUT THE PROXY CARD(S)
FOR EACH OF THOSE PILOT FUNDS IN WHICH THEY HOLD SHARES IN ORDER TO VOTE THOSE
SHARES.
In considering these matters, you should note:
o SIMILAR OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Pilot Funds are proposed to be reorganized into operating
Nations Funds with investment policies and objectives that are
substantially similar, and in some cases identical, to those of
the corresponding Pilot Funds.
o SIMILAR ACCESS ARRANGEMENTS
Following the reorganization, you will enjoy access to the Nations
Funds through distribution, transaction and shareholder servicing
arrangements that are substantially similar to the Pilot Funds'
current arrangements.
o SAME VALUE OF SHARES
The total dollar value of the Nations Fund shares you receive in
the reorganization will be the same as the total dollar value of
the Pilot Fund shares that you held immediately before the
Reorganization. The reorganization will be tax free, and no
front-end or contingent deferred sales loads will be charged in
connection with the exchange of Pilot Fund shares for Nations Fund
shares.
o OPERATING EXPENSE RATIOS
The annual fund operating expense ratio (after waivers) for the
corresponding Nations Fund classes after the reorganization is
expected to be no higher than the annual fund operating expense
ratio of your Pilot Fund class, except for Pilot Shares of the
Pilot Diversified Bond Income Fund, Class A and Pilot Shares of
the Pilot Growth and Income Fund and Pilot Shares of the Pilot
Intermediate U.S. Government Securities Fund.
The proposed reorganization is expected to benefit Pilot Fund
shareholders by:
o offering actual or potential reductions in total operating expense
ratios;
o offering shareholders the opportunity to join, and exchange their
shares within, a larger and more diverse family of more than 50
funds;
o offering access to a broader array of investment products, such as
a new line of funds-of- funds, and investment services, such as a
mutual fund asset allocation program, a mutual fund marketplace
and cash sweep programs; and
o providing opportunities for enhanced returns through combined
investment portfolios.
The formal Notice of Special Meeting, a Combined Proxy
Statement/Prospectus and a Proxy Ballot are enclosed. If you own shares in more
than one of the Pilot Funds
2
<PAGE>
that is named above, more than one Proxy Ballot accompanies these materials. If
you own shares in one or more of the Pilot funds that is not named above, you
will be receiving separately a set of proxy materials (including Proxy
Ballot(s)) for the other fund(s).
Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, you may vote by proxy in
any of the following ways:
[BALLOT/PROXY SOLICITATION INFORMATION TO BE INSERTED]
Please return your Proxy Ballot or call [or fax us] so that your vote
will be counted.
YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES
THAT YOU OWN. PLEASE VOTE BY RETURNING YOUR PROXY BALLOT TODAY,
[BALLOT/PROXY SOLICITATION INFORMATION TO BE INSERTED]
The proposed reorganization and the reasons for the Pilot Board's
unanimous recommendation are discussed in detail in the enclosed materials,
which you should read carefully. If you have any questions about the
reorganization, please do not hesitate to call Pilot Funds toll free at
1-800-71-PILOT.
We look forward to seeing you at the Meeting or receiving your proxy so
that your shares may be voted at the Meeting.
Sincerely,

Pilot and Nations are both registered open-end management investment

Pro Forma Expense Information for each proposed reorganization is
included in Appendix II to this Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
SUMMARY
PROPOSED REORGANIZATION. The Agreement provides for: (i) the transfer
of all of the assets and stated liabilities of each Pilot Fund to a
corresponding Nations Fund in exchange for Shares of comparable classes of the
corresponding Nations Fund; and (ii) the distribution of Nations Fund Shares to
the shareholders of the Pilot Funds in liquidation of the Pilot Funds. The
Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions with respect to each Pilot
Fund, including shareholder approval. Following the Reorganization, Pilot will
wind up its affairs and deregister as an investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").
As a result of the proposed Reorganization, a Pilot Fund shareholder
will become a shareholder of its corresponding Nations Fund and will hold,
immediately after the closing(s) of the Reorganization (the "Closing(s)"),
Shares of the comparable class of the corresponding Nations Fund having a total
dollar value equal to the total dollar value of the Shares of the Pilot Fund
that the shareholder held immediately before the Closing(s).
OVERVIEW OF PILOT AND NATIONS. The investment objectives, policies and
restrictions of the Pilot Funds are, in general, similar to those of their
corresponding Nations Fund. There are, however, differences. For example, the
Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund invests primarily in Missouri municipal
obligations that provide tax exempt income, while the corresponding Nations Tax
Exempt Fund invests primarily in general municipal obligations that provide tax
exempt income. As well, the average weighted maturity of the Pilot Intermediate
U.S. Government Securities Fund is between three and ten years, while the
average weighted maturity of the corresponding Nations Short-Intermediate
Government Fund is between three and five years and the duration will not exceed
five years. For additional information, see "Comparison of Pilot and
Nations--Investment Objectives and Policies" and Appendix III to this Combined
Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
NationsBanc Advisors, Inc. ("NBAI") currently serves as the investment
adviser to the Nations Funds. TradeStreet Investment Associates, Inc.
("TradeStreet") currently serves as investment sub-adviser to the Nations Funds.
Boatmen's Trust Company ("Boatmen's") currently serves as investment adviser to
the Pilot Funds. As used herein, the "Adviser" means NBAI, TradeStreet or
Boatmen's, as the context may require. See "Comparison of Pilot and
Nations--Investment Adviser and Other Service Providers."
Table III, under "Comparison of Pilot and Nations--Investment Adviser
and Other Service Providers," shows the current (after waivers or
reimbursements) total operating
6
<PAGE>
expenses for each class of Pilot Fund along with the total operating expenses
(after waivers or reimbursements) that could be expected for each class of Pilot
Fund after the Reorganization. NBAI has committed to maintain current (after
waiver) expense ratios for all Nations Fund classes for a period of at least two
years after the Closing, absent extraordinary circumstances or a reduction in
fund assets that impacts fee levels (the "Expense Commitment"). NBAI believes
that the achievement of the PRO FORMA expense levels is likely and that
shareholders may, therefore, enjoy even lower expense ratios than the levels to
which the Adviser has committed.
Appendix II to this Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus provides
additional information about the fees and expenses for each of the Nations Funds
and corresponding Pilot Funds. The Pilot Funds have a different administrator,
distributor, transfer agent, independent auditor and different
trustees/directors. See "Comparison of Pilot and Nations--Investment Adviser and
Other Service Providers."
Nations Strategic Fixed Income Fund, Nations Disciplined Equity Fund,
Nations Value Fund, Nations Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Nations
Short-Intermediate Government Fund and Nations Municipal Income Fund will each
issue three classes of Shares in the Reorganization: Investor A Shares, Investor
N Shares and Primary A Shares. In addition, Nations Tax Exempt Fund will each
issue three classes of Shares in the Reorganization: Daily Shares, Investor B
Shares and Primary A Shares. See "Comparison of Pilot and Nations--Share
Structure."
With certain exceptions, the purchase, redemption, dividend and other
policies and procedures of the Pilot Funds and the Nations Funds are generally
similar. Among the exceptions is that only the Pilot Shares issued by the Pilot
money market funds and the Investor B Shares of the Nations money market funds
offer checkwriting redemption privileges. See "Comparison of Pilot and
Nations-Shareholder Transactions and Services" and Appendix IV to this Combined
Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
The Nations Funds are sold at net asset value, with no front-end or
contingent deferred sales load, whereas the Pilot Funds charge a front-end sales
charge on their Class A Shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on their
Class B Shares. ALTHOUGH, NO FRONT-END OR CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE WILL
BE IMPOSED ON ANY OF THE SHAREHOLDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE REORGANIZATION,
FORMER CLASS B SHAREHOLDERS WILL REMAIN SUBJECT TO THE CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES
CHARGE STRUCTURE IN PLACE FOR PILOT CLASS B SHARES.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES. Morrison & Foerster LLP, legal counsel
to Nations, will issue an opinion as of the Closing to the effect that, based on
certain assumptions, the Reorganization will not give rise to the recognition of
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes to the Pilot Funds, the Nations
Funds or their respective shareholders.
7
<PAGE>
The Agreement contemplates that, upon notice from Nations, ten days
prior to the Closing Date, a Pilot Fund must immediately sell prior to the
Closing Date, to the extent permissible and consistent with that Pilot Fund's
own investment objective and policies, any portfolio security identified by
Nations as impermissible under the investment objectives and limitations of the
Nations Fund into which the Pilot Fund is to be reorganized. Such a sale could
result in taxable capital gains for a Pilot Fund and its shareholders. See
Appendix I to this Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
PILOT AND NATIONS BOARD CONSIDERATION. In considering the Agreement,
the Boards of Pilot and Nations, including the disinterested Directors and
Trustees thereof, were advised by their respective legal counsel, as well as by
separate legal counsel to the disinterested Directors and Trustees, as to their
fiduciary duties under the 1940 Act and the required determinations that each
Board should make under the 1940 Act in connection with the Reorganization.
After considering the relevant factors, as discussed in greater detail below
under "Information Relating to the Proposed Reorganization--Pilot Board
Consideration," the Pilot Board found, on behalf of the Pilot Funds, that
participation in the Reorganization, as contemplated by the Agreement, is in the
best interests of the Pilot Funds and that the interests of the shareholders of
the Pilot Funds would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. PILOT'S
BOARD OF TRUSTEES UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT PILOT SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE THE
AGREEMENT.
Similarly, after considering the relevant factors, the Nations Board,
on behalf of the Nations Funds, found that participation in the Reorganizations,
as contemplated by the Plans of Reorganization, is in the best interests of the
Nations Funds and that the interests of the shareholders of the Nations Funds
will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.
PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS. Because of the similarities of the investment
objectives, policies and restrictions of the Pilot Funds and their corresponding
Nations Funds, an investment in a Nations Fund involves risks that are similar
to those of the corresponding Pilot Fund. These investment risks, in general,
are those typically associated with investing in a portfolio of common stocks in
the case of the Pilot and Nations equity funds, a portfolio of fixed-income
securities in the case of the Pilot and Nations fixed-income funds, a portfolio
of municipal obligations in the case of the Pilot and Nations bond funds, and a
portfolio of high quality, short-term money market instruments in the case of
the Pilot and Nations money market funds.
The risks associated with Nations Value Fund (and its corresponding
Pilot Growth and Income Fund) and Nations Disciplined Equity Fund (and its
corresponding Pilot Growth Fund) are those associated with investments in common
stocks and other equity securities, which are generally stock market risks.
Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and
in response to general market and economic conditions and, accordingly, the
value of the stocks that a fund holds may decline over short or extended
periods.
8
<PAGE>
An investment in Nations Tax-Exempt Fund (and its corresponding Pilot
Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund and Pilot Short-Term Tax-Exempt Diversified
Fund), involves risks typically associated with investing in a portfolio of high
quality, short-term money market instruments. In addition, these money market
funds attempt to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00, although there is
no assurance that they will be able to do so.
An investment in Nations Strategic Fixed Income Fund (and its
corresponding Pilot Diversified Bond Income Fund), Nations Short-Intermediate
Government Fund (and its corresponding Pilot U.S. Government Securities Fund)
and Nations Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (and its corresponding Pilot
Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund), involves risks typically associated with
investing in a portfolio of fixed-income securities, which is the risk that the
value of that security will tend to decrease when interest rates rise and
increase when interest rates fall. In general, longer-term debt instruments tend
to fluctuate in value more than shorter-term debt instruments in response to
interest rate movements. For example, because the average weighted maturity of
the Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund is less than that of its
corresponding Pilot U.S. Government Securities Fund the share price of the Pilot
Fund may fluctuate more in response to interest rate changes than that of the
Nations Fund.
VOTING INFORMATION. This Combined Proxy is being furnished in
connection with the solicitation of proxies by Pilot's Board of Trustees at the
Meeting. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on March [ ], 1997
will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. Each whole or fractional share is
entitled to a whole or fractional vote. Shares represented by a properly
executed proxy will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon or, if
no specification is made, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of

INFORMATION RELATING TO THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION
The terms and conditions of the Reorganization are set forth in the
Agreement. Significant provisions of the Agreement are summarized below;
however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix I to this Combined Proxy
Statement/Prospectus.
DESCRIPTION OF THE AGREEMENT. The Agreement provides that at the
Closing the assets and stated liabilities of the Pilot Funds will be transferred
to Nations in exchange for full and fractional Shares of the corresponding
Nations Funds as shown in the following table.

The Shares issued by each Nations Fund in the Reorganization will have
an aggregate dollar value equal to the aggregate dollar value of the Shares of
the respective Pilot Fund that are outstanding immediately before the Closing.
Immediately after the Closing, each Pilot Fund will distribute the Shares of
Nations Fund received in the Reorganization to its shareholders in liquidation
of the Pilot Fund. Each shareholder owning Shares of a particular Pilot Fund at
the Closing will receive Shares of the comparable class of the corresponding
Nations Fund, and will receive any unpaid dividends or distributions that were
declared before the Closing on Pilot Fund Shares. Nations will establish an
account for each former shareholder of the Pilot Funds reflecting the
appropriate number of Nations Fund Shares distributed to that shareholder. These
accounts will be substantially identical to the accounts currently maintained by
Pilot for each shareholder. Shares of the Nations Funds are in uncertificated
form.
Although no formal action has been taken, upon completion of the
Reorganization, it is contemplated that if Pilot Shareholders approve the
Agreement, and shareholders of all other series of Pilot approve a similar
Agreement, all outstanding Shares of the Pilot Funds will be redeemed and
canceled in exchange for Shares of the Nations Funds distributed, and Pilot will
wind up its affairs and apply to be deregistered as an investment company under
the 1940 Act. Pilot would permanently close its stock transfer books as of the
close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Closing.
Exchange or redemption requests required after that time will be deemed to be
exchange or redemption requests for Shares of the Nations Funds.
The Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions, including
approval of the Agreement and the related matters described in this Combined
Proxy Statement/ Prospectus by Pilot shareholders at the Meeting; the receipt of
certain legal opinions described in the Agreement (which include an opinion of
counsel to Nations that the Nations Fund Shares issued in the Reorganization
will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable); the receipt of certain
certificates from the parties concerning the continuing accuracy of the
representations and warranties in the Agreement; the receipt of "comfort
letters" from the independent public accountants of Pilot and Nations regarding
various financial matters; any necessary exemptive relief or no-action
assurances requested from the SEC or its Staff with respect to Section 17(a) and
17(d) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17d-1 thereunder; and the parties' performance in
all material respects of their respective covenants and undertakings in the
Agreement. The Agreement contemplates that, upon notice from Nations, ten days
prior to the Closing Date, a Pilot Fund must immediately sell prior to the
Closing Date, to the extent permissible and consistent with that Pilot Fund's
own investment objective and policies, any portfolio security identified by
Nations as impermissible under the investment objectives and limitations of the
Nations Fund into which the Pilot Fund is to be reorganized. Such a sale could
result in taxable capital gains for a Pilot Fund and its shareholders.
11
<PAGE>
Assuming satisfaction of the conditions in the Agreement, the Closing
will be effective at the close of business on May 2, 1997 or, in accordance with
the Agreement, such other date as agreed to in writing by the officers of the
parties to the Agreement.
The Agreement provides that NBAI has committed to absorb substantially
all of the expenses associated with the Reorganization. See Appendix I to this
Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus. A portion of the expenses to be incurred in
connection with the Reorganization, approximately $450,000, will be allocated to
the Nations Funds following the consummation of the Reorganization (the
"Allocated Amount"). NBAI will absorb all expenses of the Reorganization other
than the Allocated Amount. The Expense Commitment, as discussed above, will
cause NBAI, in effect, to absorb a substantial portion of the Allocated Amount
(approximately $320,000) through additional fee waivers. NBAI also will absorb
the portion of the remaining Allocated Amount that otherwise would be borne by
current Pilot Fund shareholders (approximately $31,000), by making a capital
contribution in this amount to the Pilot Funds prior to the Closing. The portion
of the Allocated Amount that remains after NBAI absorbs this $351,000
(approximately $99,000) will, in effect, be borne by current Nations Fund
shareholders. The Nations Funds Board approved this arrangement as being in the
best interest of shareholders in light of, among other things, the benefits to
such shareholders from the Expense Commitment, and the anticipated benefits
expected to accrue to these shareholders over time from the addition of
approximately $6 billion in assets (as of December 31, 1996) into the Nations
Funds through the Reorganization.
PILOT BOARD CONSIDERATION. On August 29, 1996, Boatmen's Bancshares,
Inc. ("Bancshares"), the parent of Boatmen's, the Pilot Funds' investment
adviser, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with NationsBank
Corporation, which provided that Bancshares would merge with and into a
wholly-owned subsidiary of NationsBank Corporation (the "Holding Company
Merger"). The Holding Company Merger was consummated on January 7, 1997. In
connection therewith, and consistent with the requirements of the 1940 Act and
the terms of the respective investment advisory and management agreements, the
change in control of the Boatmen's resulted in the automatic and immediate
termination of each investment advisory agreement between Pilot, on behalf of
the respective Pilot Fund, and Boatmen's. To ensure that this automatic
termination would not disrupt the investment advisory services provided to the
Pilot Funds, Pilot shareholders approved at a December 18, 1996 meeting, new
investment advisory agreements between Pilot, on behalf of the Pilot Funds
(except the Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax Exempt Fund, Pilot Short-Term U.S.
Treasury Fund, Pilot Growth Fund and Pilot Diversified Bond Fund), and
Boatmen's. At a December 20, 1996 meeting, Pilot shareholders approved new
investment advisory agreements between Pilot, on behalf of the Pilot Missouri
Short-Term Tax Exempt Fund, Pilot Short-Term U.S. Treasury Fund, Pilot Growth
Fund and Pilot Diversified Bond Fund, and Boatmen's.
At its December 4, 1996 meeting, the Pilot Board of Trustees was first
advised that Boatmen's and NationsBank, N.A. ("NationsBank") were considering
the possibility of recommending a consolidation of the Pilot Funds with the
Nations Funds following the
12
<PAGE>
Holding Company Merger. Thereafter, on January 31, 1997 and February 5, 1997,
the Pilot Trustees met to consider formal proposals by Boatmen's and NationsBank
regarding the Reorganization.
In preparation for the meetings, the Trustees were provided with a
variety of information about the Reorganization, the Pilot Funds, the Nations
Funds and NationsBank. These materials summarized the principal features of the
Reorganization including the intention that each transaction be consummated on a
tax-free basis for the participating Funds and their shareholders. In addition,
the Pilot Trustees received comparative information for the Pilot Funds and
their corresponding Nations Funds with respect to the following matters: (a)
investment objectives and policies; (b) advisory, distribution and other
servicing arrangements; (c) expenses (with and without giving effect to current
expense limitations), including PRO FORMA expenses assuming consummation of the
Reorganization and expenses relative to peer groups, and (d) performance
relative to peer groups. The Pilot Trustees were also provided with information
about NationsBank and its investment advisory organization, including
information regarding those individuals with responsibility for each Nations
Fund, and the anticipated impact of the proposed Reorganization on Boatmen's,
NBAI and TradeStreet.
The Trustees were also advised that the parties to the Holding Company
Merger had stated their intention to meet the conditions of Section 15(f) of the
1940 Act with respect to the Pilot Funds and their successors. Section 15(f) of
the 1940 Act provides that when a change in control of an investment adviser
occurs, the investment adviser or any of its affiliated persons may receive any
amount or benefit in connection therewith as long as, among other things, no
"unfair burden" is imposed on the investment company as a result of the
transaction relating to the change of control, or any expenses or implied terms,
conditions or understandings applicable thereto. The term "unfair burden" as
defined by the 1940 Act includes any arrangement during the two-year period
after the transaction whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or
successor adviser), or any "interested person" of any such adviser, receives or
is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the
investment company or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide
investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the
purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the
investment company (other than fees for bona fide principal underwriting
services). Section 15(f) also requires that through January 7, 2000 (the
three-year period immediately following the Holding Company Merger), at least
75% of the Board of Trustees of the Pilot Funds or its successor will not be
"interested persons" of NBAI or Boatmen's within the meaning of the 1940 Act.
The Pilot Trustees were informed that the Board of Trustees of the Nations Funds
currently satisfy this requirement.
At the Trustees' meeting on February 5, 1997, NBAI and TradeStreet
represented to the Pilot Trustees that they would commit to the Expense
Commitment described above. Based upon this commitment and the current expense
ratio and expense limitation information provided for both the Pilot Funds and
the Nations Funds, the Pilot Trustees
13
<PAGE>
concluded that, for the foreseeable future, the Reorganization would likely
result in a substantial savings in expenses to Pilot Fund shareholders.
During the course of their deliberations at the January 31 and February
5 meetings, the Trustees considered other potential benefits of the
Reorganization to Pilot shareholders, including convenient access via the
exchange privilege to a larger universe of funds within the Nations Fund Family
and the availability of other investment products offered by NationsBank. The
Pilot Trustees further noted that, in general, the performance of the Nations
Funds was comparable to or better than that of their corresponding Pilot Funds.
After consideration of the foregoing and other factors, and with the
advice and assistance of independent counsel, the Pilot Trustees unanimously
determined that the Reorganization is in the best interest of the shareholders
of each Pilot Fund, and that the shareholders of each Pilot Fund will not be
diluted as a result of such Reorganization.
CAPITALIZATION. The eight Pilot Funds would be reorganized into the
seven Nations Funds. The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 1996,
(i) the capitalization of each of the Pilot Funds; (ii) the capitalization of
each of the corresponding Nations Funds involved; and (iii) the pro forma
capitalization of each of the Nations Funds as adjusted to give effect to the
Reorganization of the foregoing Pilot Funds. The capitalization of each Pilot
Fund and Nations Fund is likely to be different at the Closing as a result of
daily share purchase and redemption activity in the Pilot Funds as well as the
effects of the Pilot Funds' other ongoing operations.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES. Consummation of the Reorganization
with respect to each Pilot Fund is subject to the condition that Pilot and
Nations receive an opinion from Morrison & Foerster LLP to the effect that, for
federal income tax purposes, (i) the transfer of all or substantially all of a
Pilot Fund's assets in exchange for the corresponding Nations Fund Shares and
the assumption by each Nation Fund of the stated liabilities of the
corresponding Pilot Fund will constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning
of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")
and each Nations Fund and Pilot Fund will be a "party to a reorganization"
within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code; (ii) no gain or loss will be
recognized by a Pilot Fund upon the transfer of its assets to the corresponding
Nations Fund solely in exchange for the Nations Fund Shares or the assumption of
the stated liabilities of the Pilot Fund by the Nations Fund; (iii) no gain or
loss will be recognized by a Nations Fund upon (a) its receipt of assets from
the corresponding Pilot Fund solely in exchange for the Nations Fund Shares, (b)
the Nations Fund's assumption of the Pilot Fund's stated liabilities, and (c)
the constructive or actual distribution by the Pilot Fund of the Nations Fund
Shares to the Pilot Fund shareholders in exchange for their Shares of the Pilot
Fund; (iv) the aggregate federal income tax basis of a Pilot Fund's assets
received by the corresponding Nations Fund pursuant to the Reorganization will
be the same as the aggregate federal income tax basis of those assets in the
hands of the Pilot Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization; (v) the holding
period of a Pilot Fund's assets received by the corresponding Nations Fund
pursuant to the Reorganization will include the period for which such assets
have been held by the Pilot Fund; (vi) no gain or loss will be recognized by a
Pilot Fund on the distribution to its shareholders of the Nations Fund Shares to
be received by the Pilot Fund in the Reorganization; (vii) no gain or loss will
be recognized by the shareholders of a Pilot Fund upon their receipt of the
Nations Fund Shares in exchange for such shareholders' Shares of the Pilot Fund;
(viii) the federal income tax basis of the Nations Fund Shares received by the
shareholders of the corresponding Pilot Fund will be the same as the federal
income tax basis of the Pilot Fund Shares exchanged by such shareholders
pursuant to the Reorganization; (ix) the holding period for the Nations Fund
Shares for which Shares of the corresponding Pilot Fund are exchanged pursuant
to the Reorganization will include the period that the Pilot Fund Shares have
been held by the holder, provided that the Pilot Fund Shares
have been held as a capital asset by the holder; and (x) a Nations Fund will
succeed to and take into account the tax attributes described in Section 381(c)
of the Code of the corresponding Pilot Fund as of the Closing Date, subject to
the conditions and limitations specified in the Code.
In the event that Pilot and Nations do not receive the foregoing
opinion of Morrison & Foerster LLP, the Reorganization will not take place and
Pilot's Board of Trustees will consider other alternatives.

COMPARISON OF PILOT AND NATIONS
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES. The investment objectives, policies
and restrictions of the Nations Funds are, in general, similar to those of the
Pilot Funds. There are, however, certain differences. For example, although the
Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund and its corresponding Nations Tax
Exempt Fund both primarily invest in the same types of securities-high quality
money market instruments, the Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund invests
in primarily Missouri municipal obligations, while Nations Tax Exempt Fund
invests in general municipal obligations.
The Pilot Intermediate U.S. Government Securities Fund and its
corresponding Nations Short- Intermediate Government Fund are both funds that
invest in U.S. Government obligations. However, the Pilot Intermediate U.S.
Government Securities Fund will maintain an average weighted maturity between
three and ten years, while Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund will
maintain an average weighted maturity of between three and five years and the
duration will not exceed five years.
These and other differences are discussed further in Appendix III to
this Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Additional information with respect to
the investment policies and restrictions of the Nations Funds and the Pilot
Funds is included in their respective prospectuses, which have been incorporated
herein by reference.
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS. Currently, NBAI serves
as the investment adviser for each of the Nations Funds, and Boatmen's serves as
investment adviser to the Pilot Funds. After the Reorganization, NBAI will serve
as the investment adviser to the Nations Funds.
The following table shows (i) the current total expense ratio of the Pilot
Funds after waivers and (ii) the pro forma total expense ratio of the
corresponding Nations Funds, based upon the fee arrangements, including waivers
and reimbursements, that will be in place upon consummation of the
Reorganization. Table III shows that for all classes of Pilot Funds, except
Pilot Shares of the Pilot Diversified Bond Income Fund, Class A and Pilot Shares
of the Pilot Growth and Income Fund, Pilot Shares of the Pilot Intermediate U.S.
Government Securities Fund, total operating expenses (after waivers) will be
equal to or less than current total operating expenses. Detailed pro forma
expense information for each proposed reorganization is included in Appendix II
to this Combined Proxy Statement/ Prospectus.

PILOT FUNDS' ADVISORY CONTRACTS. In connection with the Holding Company
Merger, which was consummated on January 7, 1997, and consistent with the
requirements of the 1940 Act, the change in control of Boatmen's resulted in the
automatic and immediate termination of the investment advisory agreements
between Pilot, on behalf of the Pilot Funds, and Boatmen's. To ensure that this
automatic termination would not disrupt the investment advisory services
provided to the Pilot Funds, Pilot shareholders approved at a December 18, 1996
meeting, new investment advisory agreements between Pilot, on behalf of the
Pilot Funds (except the Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax Exempt Fund, Pilot Short-
Term U.S. Treasury Fund, Pilot Growth Fund and Pilot Diversified Bond Fund), and
Boatmen's. At a December 20, 1996 meeting, Pilot shareholders approved new
investment advisory agreements between Pilot, on behalf of the Pilot Missouri
Short-Term Tax Exempt Fund, Pilot Short-Term U.S. Treasury Fund, Pilot Growth
Fund and Pilot Diversified Bond Fund, and Boatmen's. Accordingly, Boatmen's
continues to act as investment adviser to the Pilot Funds.
NATIONS FUNDS' ADVISORY CONTRACTS. NBAI serves as investment adviser to
the Nations Funds. Subject to the general supervision of Nations' Board of
Trustees, and in accordance with the investment policies of each Existing
Nations Fund, NBAI formulates guidelines and lists of approved investments and,
makes decisions with respect to and places orders for the Fund's purchases and
sales of portfolio securities and maintains records relating to such purchases
and sales. With respect to the non-money market funds, NBAI is authorized to
allocate purchase and sale orders for portfolio securities to certain financial
institutions, including, in the case of agency transactions, financial
institutions which are affiliated with NBAI or which have sold Shares in such
funds, if NBAI believes that the quality of the transaction and the commission
are comparable to what they would be with other qualified brokerage firms. From
time to time, to the extent consistent with their investment objectives,
policies and restrictions, the Funds may invest in securities of companies with
which NationsBank has a lending relationship. NBAI may delegate certain
responsibilities to investment sub-advisers listed below.
TradeStreet currently serves as investment sub-adviser for the Nations
Funds and after the Reorganization, TradeStreet will serve as the investment
sub-adviser to the Nations Funds. For the services provided and expenses assumed
by TradeStreet, NBAI will pay TradeStreet at the annual rate of 0.055% of the
average daily net assets of Nations Tax Exempt Fund, 0.25% of the average daily
net assets of Nations Value Fund and Disciplined Equity Fund, 0.15% of the
average daily net assets of Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund and
Nations Strategic Fixed Income Fund, and 0.07% of the average daily net assets
of Nations Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and Nations Municipal Income Fund.

From time to time, NBAI (and/or TradeStreet) may waive or reimburse

state statutes, including the Glass-Steagall Act, and regulations relating to
the permissible activities of banks and their subsidiaries or affiliates, as

SHARE STRUCTURE. Both Pilot and Nations are registered as open-end
management investment companies under the 1940 Act. Currently, Pilot offers
fourteen funds. Immediately after the Reorganization, the Nations Fund Family,
which includes Nations, Nations Fund Trust, Nations Fund Portfolios, Inc.,
Nations Institutional Reserves and Nations LifeGoal Funds, Inc., will offer over
fifty funds.
Pilot is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is subject to
the provisions of its Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws. Nations is
organized as a Maryland corporation and is subject to the provisions of its
Articles of Incorporation, as amended and supplemented, and By-Laws. Shares of
Pilot Funds have a par value of $.001. Shares of Nations Funds are shares of
beneficial interest and are sold without par value. Shares of both the
Pilot Funds and Nations Funds are entitled to one vote for each full share held
and fractional votes for fractional Shares held, and will vote in the aggregate
and not by portfolio or class subject to certain notable exceptions for Pilot.
In particular, when a proposal affects less than all Pilot portfolios or
classes, only the affected portfolios or classes may vote on that proposal. Each
portfolio votes separately with respect to any proposal to approve its
investment advisory agreement, to change its fundamental investment objectives
or policies, or to adopt a plan of reorganization. Similarly, a class of a
portfolio votes separately with respect to any proposal to approve a plan of
distribution for that class.
Shares of the Pilot Funds and Nations Funds have no pre-emptive rights
and have only such conversion and exchange rights as the Board of Trustees of
Pilot or the Board of Directors of Nations, respectively, may grant in their
discretion. The Investor N Shares of the Nations Funds currently do not have a
conversion feature comparable to that of the Class B Shares of the Pilot Funds.
However, management of Nations will undertake to either implement such a feature
or present a shareholder proposal to Investor N Shareholders to add a comparable
conversion feature. When issued for payment as described in their respective
prospectuses, Nations Fund Shares and Pilot Fund Shares are fully paid and
non-assessable by either Nations or Pilot.
Each share of a class of a Nations Fund represents an equal
proportionate interest in a particular portfolio with other shares of the same
class and is entitled to cash dividends and distributions earned on such shares
as are declared in the discretion of the Nations Board of Trustees.
The accrued expenses of the Nations Funds, as well as certain expenses
attributable to each class of Shares, are deducted from accrued income before
dividends are declared. The Nations Funds' expenses included, but are not
limited to: fees paid to the Adviser, NationsBank, Stephens and First Data;
interest; trustees' fees; federal and state securities
30
<PAGE>
registration and qualification fees; brokerage fees and commissions; costs of
preparing and printing prospectuses for regulatory purposes and for distribution
to existing shareholders; charges of the Custodian and Transfer Agent; certain
insurance premiums; outside auditing and legal expenses; costs of shareholder
reports and shareholder meetings; other expenses which are not expressly assumed
by the Adviser, NationsBank, Stephens or First Data under their respective
agreements with Nations Fund; and any extraordinary expenses. Each class of
Shares may bear certain class specific costs associated with retail transfer
agency, shareholder servicing, sales support and distribution. Any general
expenses of Nations Fund that are not readily identifiable as belonging to a
particular investment portfolio are allocated among all portfolios in the
proportion that the assets of a portfolio bears to the assets of Nations Fund or
in such other manner as the Board of Trustees deems appropriate.
Additional information concerning the attributes of the Shares issued
by Pilot and Nations is included in their respective prospectuses, which are
incorporated herein by reference.
DISTRIBUTION PLANS, ADMINISTRATION PLANS AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING
ARRANGEMENTS. Shares of the Pilot Funds are distributed by PFD, a broker-dealer
registered with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "1934 Act"). The Pilot Funds adopted Distribution Plans pursuant to
Rule 12b-l under the 1940 Act for its Class A and Class B Shares. Under these
Plans, PFD receives payments for distribution and support services. The
Distribution Plan for Class A Shares authorizes payments to PFD 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 outstanding Shares to which such Distribution Plan relates.
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 PFD as reimbursement for commissions and
transaction fees as well as expenses related to other promotional and
distribution activities.
Actual distribution expenses paid by PFD 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 Pilot Fund 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.
The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to limit the fees it receives on
Class A Shares from certain Pilot Funds. Pilot Shares pay no account
administration or Rule 12b-1 fees.
31
<PAGE>
Pilot Administration Shares pay an account administration fee of .25%, and Pilot
Investor Shares pay a Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.50%.
Shares of the Nations Funds are distributed by Stephens, a
broker-dealer registered with the Commission under the 1934 Act, pursuant to a
Distribution Agreement. Stephens receives no compensation in connection with the
distribution of Primary A Shares of the Nations Funds.
INVESTOR A SHARES. The Nations Funds have adopted an Amended and
Restated Shareholder Servicing and Distribution Plan (the "Investor A Plan")
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to each Fund's Investor A
Shares. The Investor A Plan provides that each Fund may pay Stephens or banks,
broker/dealers or other financial institutions that offer Shares of the Fund and
that have entered into a Sales Support Agreement with Stephens ("Selling
Agents") or a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with Nations Fund ("Servicing
Agents"), up to 0.10% (on an annualized basis) of the average daily net asset
value of Investor A Shares of the Money Market Funds and up to 0.25% (on an
annualized basis) of the average daily net asset value of the Non-Money Market
Funds.
INVESTOR B SHARES, INVESTOR N SHARES AND DAILY SHARES: In addition, the
Nations Funds have approved Amended and Restated Shareholder Servicing Plans
("Servicing Plans") with respect to the Investor B and Daily Shares of the Money
Market Funds and Investor N Shares of the Non-Money Market Funds. Pursuant to
the respective Servicing Plans, each Fund may pay Servicing Agents for certain
expenses that are incurred by the Servicing Agents in connection with
shareholder support services that are provided by the Servicing Agents. Payments
under the Servicing Plans will be calculated daily and paid monthly at a rate
set from time to time by the Board, provided that the annual rate may not exceed
0.25% of the average daily net asset value of the Money Market Funds' Investor B
Shares or the Daily Shares or Investor N Shares of the Non-Money Market Funds.
The Nations Funds also have approved Distribution Plans with respect to
Investor N Shares of the Non-Money Market Funds and Investor B and Daily Shares
of the Money Market Funds. Pursuant to the Distribution Plans, a Fund may
compensate or reimburse Stephens for any activities or expenses primarily
intended to result in the sale of such Fund's Shares, including for sales
related services provided by Selling Agents. Payments under a Fund's
Distribution Plan will be calculated daily and paid monthly at a rate or rates
set from time to time by the Board provided that the annual rate may not exceed
0.75% of the average daily net asset value of each Non-Money Market Fund's
Investor N Shares or 0.10% of the Investor B Shares of the Money Market Funds
and 0.45% Daily Shares of the Money Market Funds.
The Pilot Funds have entered into an Administration Agreement with
BISYS Fund Services Limited Partnership. Administrative services are provided to
the Nations Funds by Stephens and First Data as co-administrator and NationsBank
as sub-administrator to
32
<PAGE>
Stephens. The types of administrative services provided to the Pilot Funds and
Nations Funds are substantially similar. BISYS has agreed to voluntarily waive
its fees from, and reimburse certain expenses to, the Pilot Funds under certain
circumstances.
BISYS Fund Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The BISYS
Group, Inc. is the transfer agent for all classes of the Pilot Funds. Prior to
April 26, 1996, Primary Fund Services Corporation was the transfer agent for
Class A Shares and Class B Shares of the Pilot Funds. First Data provides
substantially similar transfer agency services with respect to the Shares of the
Nations Funds.
Boatmen's is custodian for each of the Pilot Funds and Banker's Trust
Company is sub custodian for any foreign or certificated securities held by the
Pilot Funds. NationsBank of Texas is custodian for all classes of the Nations
Funds and The Bank of New York is sub-custodian for all classes of the Nations
Funds.
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTIONS AND SERVICES. The Pilot Funds and the
corresponding Nations Funds offer generally similar shareholder services and
transactions. There are however, some differences. For example, while the Pilot
Funds charge a front-end sales charge on their Class A Shares and a contingent
deferred sales charge on their Class B Shares, the corresponding classes of the
Nations Funds charge neither a front-end nor contingent deferred sales charge on
any of the Shares they offer. However, after the Reorganization, former Class B
Shares will remain subject to the contingent deferred sales charge applicable to
their Class B Shares. In addition, except for Pilot Administration Shares and
Nations Investor B Shares, Nations and Pilot share classes have substantially
similar minimum investment requirements. For a detailed comparison of these
shareholders transactions and services, see Appendix IV to this Combined Proxy
Statement/Prospectus.
INFORMATION RELATING TO VOTING MATTERS
GENERAL INFORMATION. This Combined Proxy Statement/Prospectus is being

SHAREHOLDER AND BOARD APPROVALS. The Agreement and related matters are
being submitted for approval at the Meeting by Pilot's shareholders pursuant to
the provisions of Pilot's Agreement and Declaration of Trust. With respect to
each Pilot Fund, approval of the Agreement requires the approval of a majority
of the outstanding Shares of that Pilot Fund voting separately on a
portfolio-by-portfolio basis. The Agreement provides that in the event the
Agreement is approved with respect to less than all of the Pilot Funds, the
failure of a Pilot Fund to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement shall not affect the consummation or validity of any other transaction
or reorganization contemplated by the Agreement.
The approval of the Agreement by the Board of Trustees of Pilot is
discussed above under "Information Relating to the Proposed
Reorganization--Board Consideration." The Agreement was approved by the Board of
Trustees of Nations at a meeting held on February 5-6, 1997.
As of March [ ], 1997, the officers and Trustees of Pilot as a group
owned less than 1% of any of the Pilot Funds. As of March [ ], 1997 the officers
and Trustees of Nations as a group owned less than 1% of any of the Nations

For purposes of the 1940 Act, any person who owns directly or through
one or more controlled companies more than 25% of the voting securities of a
company is presumed to "control" such company. Accordingly, to the extent that a
shareholder identified in the foregoing table is identified as the beneficial
holder or more than 25% of a class, or is identified as the holder of record of
more than 25% of a class and has voting and/or investment power, it may be
presumed to control such class.
QUORUM. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or in
the event that a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to
approve the Agreement are not received by one or more of the Pilot Funds, one or
more adjournment(s) may be proposed to permit further solicitation of proxies.
Any adjourned session or sessions may be held, within a reasonable time after
the date set for the original meeting, without the necessity of further notice.
A majority of the Shares voted, at a shareholder meeting of which a quorum is
present, shall decide any questions, except when a different vote is required or
permitted by any provision of the 1940 Act or other applicable law or by the
Pilot Agreement and Declaration of Trust or By-Laws. For purposes of determining
the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting, abstentions
will be treated as shares that are present at the Meeting but which have not
been voted. Abstentions will have the effect of a "no" vote for purposes of
obtaining the requisite approvals. Broker "non-votes" (that is, proxies from
brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions
from the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote shares on a
particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have
discretionary power) will be treated as abstentions, the effect of which is
described above.
ANNUAL MEETINGS AND SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS. Neither Nations or Pilot
presently intends to hold annual meetings of shareholders for the election of
directors/trustees and other business unless otherwise required by the 1940 Act.
Under certain circumstances, however, shareholders of the Pilot Funds have the
right to call a meeting of shareholders if for a period of 75 days after written
request by shareholders holding at least a majority of the Shares then
outstanding of any Pilot Fund or class entitled to vote upon any matter
requiring action by the shareholders pursuant to the Pilot Agreement and
Declaration of Trust that a meeting be called to consider action on such
matters, then that majority may
36
<PAGE>
call and give notice of such meeting. Similarly, under certain circumstances,
shareholders may request that the Directors of Nations call a shareholder
meeting; the Secretary of Nations shall call a meeting upon the written request
of shareholders owning at least 10% of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote
and upon payment by such shareholders of the estimated cost of preparing and
mailing a notice of the meeting.

PENDING LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. A purported class action lawsuit against,
among others, Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund was filed by Lawrence
Bergelt on May 21, 1996. The complaint was amended and consolidated on July 11,
1996 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida,
Tampa Division by Mr. Bergelt and others in an action against the two funds,
NationsBank Corporation and certain of its affiliates, Dean Witter Distributors
and certain of its affiliates, and Stephens Inc. (Case No. 94-995-Civ.-T-23E).
As relevant to Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund, plaintiffs allege
that, among other things, defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and various state securities fraud statutes by employing a scheme to
defraud plaintiffs into purchasing shares of the fund and making untrue
statements of material fact and omitting to state material facts in connection
with sales of shares of the funds. Plaintiffs further allege that, among other
things, defendants concealed the risks associated with such funds by blurring
the distinctions between banks and non-bank subsidiaries and by obscuring the
differences between traditional, federally insured bank products and uninsured,
non-depository products.

APPENDIX I
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the "Agreement") is
made as of this ___ day of _______, 1997, by and between Nations Fund Trust
("Nations Fund"), a Massachusetts business trust, for itself and on behalf of
Nations Tax Exempt Fund, Nations Value Fund, Nations Disciplined Equity Fund,
Nations Strategic Fixed Income Fund, Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund,
Nations Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and Nations Municipal Income Fund (each
an "Acquiring Fund" and collectively, the "Acquiring Funds"), all portfolios of
Nations Fund, and The Pilot Funds ("Pilot Funds"), a Massachusetts business
trust, for itself and on behalf of Pilot Short- Term Tax-Exempt Diversified
Fund, Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund, Pilot Growth and Income Fund,
Pilot Growth Fund, Pilot Diversified Bond Income Fund, Pilot Intermediate U.S.
Government Securities Fund, Pilot Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and Pilot
Municipal Bond Fund (each an "Acquired Fund" and collectively, the "Acquired
Funds"), all portfolios of Pilot Funds.
In accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, the parties desire that all of the assets of each Acquired Fund be
transferred to each Acquiring Fund corresponding thereto, as set forth in the
table attached hereto as Schedule A, in exchange for shares of specified classes
of the corresponding Acquiring Fund ("Acquiring Fund Shares") and the assumption
by each Acquiring Fund of the Stated Liabilities (as defined in paragraph 1.3)
of each corresponding Acquired Fund, and that such Acquiring Fund Shares be
distributed immediately after the Closing(s), as defined in this Agreement, by
each Acquired Fund to its shareholders in liquidation of each Acquired Fund.
This Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a reorganization for each
Acquired Fund within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
In consideration of the promises and of the covenants and
agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto, intending to be legally
bound hereby, covenant and agree as follows:
1. REORGANIZATION OF ACQUIRED FUNDS
1.1. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, and on
the basis of the representations and warranties contained
herein, each Acquired Fund shall assign, deliver and otherwise
transfer its assets as set forth in paragraph 1.2 (the "Fund
Assets") to its corresponding Acquiring Fund identified in
Schedule A, and such corresponding Acquiring Fund shall, as
consideration therefor, on the Closing Date (as defined in
paragraph 3.1), (i) deliver to such Acquired Fund full and
fractional
I-1
<PAGE>
Acquiring Fund Shares, the number of which shall be
determined by dividing (a) that portion of the value of the
Fund Assets, net of an Acquired Fund's Stated Liabilities,
computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth
in paragraph 2.1, representative of the shares of beneficial
interest of each Acquired Fund, by (b) the net asset value of
one share of each Acquiring Fund's class of shares identified
in Schedule A, computed in the manner and as of the time and
date set forth in paragraph 2.2, and (ii) assume the Acquired
Fund's Stated Liabilities. Such transfer, delivery and
assumption shall take place at the closing(s) provided for in
paragraph 3.1 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the
"Closing(s)"). Promptly after the Closing(s), each Acquired
Fund shall distribute the Acquiring Fund Shares to the
shareholders of the Acquired Fund in liquidation of the
Acquired Fund as provided in paragraph 1.4 hereof. Such
transaction(s) are hereinafter sometimes collectively referred
to as the "Reorganization(s)."
1.2.a. With respect to each Acquired Fund, the Fund Assets shall
consist of all property and assets of any nature whatsoever,
including, without limitation, all cash, cash equivalents,
securities, claims and receivables (including dividend and
interest receivables) owned by each Acquired Fund, and any
prepaid expenses shown as an asset on each Acquired Fund's
books on the Closing Date.
1.2.b. At least fifteen (15) business days prior to the Closing Date,
each Acquired Fund will provide the corresponding Acquiring
Fund with a schedule of its securities and other assets and
its known liabilities, and such Acquiring Fund will provide
the Acquired Fund with a copy of the current investment
objective and policies applicable to each Acquiring Fund. Each
Acquired Fund reserves the right to sell any of the securities
or other assets shown on the list of the Fund's Assets prior
to the Closing Date but will not, without the prior approval
of the corresponding Acquiring Fund, acquire any additional
securities other than securities which the Acquiring Fund is
permitted to purchase in accordance with its stated investment
objective and policies. At least ten (10) business days prior
to the Closing Date, the Acquiring Fund will advise the
corresponding Acquired Fund of any investments of such
Acquired Fund shown on such schedule which the Acquiring Fund
would not be permitted to hold, pursuant to its stated
investment objective and policies or otherwise. In the event
that the Acquired Fund holds any investments that its
corresponding Acquiring Fund would not be permitted to hold
under its stated investment
I-2
<PAGE>
objective or policies, the Acquired Fund, if requested by the
Acquiring Fund and, to the extent permissible and consistent
with the Acquired Fund's own investment objective and
policies, will dispose of such securities prior to the Closing
Date. In addition, if it is determined that the portfolios of
the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund, when aggregated,
would contain investments exceeding certain percentage
limitations to which the Acquiring Fund is or will be subject
with respect to such investments, the Acquired Fund, if
requested by the Acquiring Fund and, to the extent permissible
and consistent with the Acquired Fund's own investment
objective and policies, will dispose of and/or reinvest a
sufficient amount of such investments as may be necessary to
avoid violating such limitations as of the Closing Date.
1.3. Each Acquired Fund will endeavor to discharge all of its known
liabilities and obligations prior to the Closing Date. Each
Acquiring Fund will assume all liabilities and obligations
disclosed on an unaudited statement of assets and liabilities
of the corresponding Acquired Fund prepared by or on behalf of
Pilot Funds as of the Applicable Valuation Date (as defined in
paragraph 2.1), in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied from the prior
audited period ("Stated Liabilities"). The Acquiring Fund
shall assume only the Stated Liabilities of its corresponding
Acquired Fund, and no other liabilities or obligations,
whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown, accrued or
unaccrued.
1.4. Promptly after the Closing(s) with respect to each Acquired
Fund, the Acquired Fund will distribute the Acquiring Fund
Shares received by the Acquired Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1
PRO RATA to its shareholders of record determined as of the
close of business on the Closing Date ("Acquired Fund
Investors") in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund. Such
distribution will be accomplished by an instruction, signed by
an appropriate officer of Pilot Funds, to transfer the
Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the Acquired Fund's
account on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on
the books of the Acquiring Fund established and maintained by
the Acquiring Fund's transfer agent in the names of record of
the Acquired Fund Investors and representing the respective
PRO RATA number of shares of the Acquiring Fund due such
Acquired Fund Investor. In exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares
distributed, all issued and outstanding shares of beneficial
interest of the Acquired Fund will be redeemed and canceled
simultaneously therewith on the
I-3
<PAGE>
Acquired Fund's books; any outstanding share certificates
representing interests in the Acquired Fund thereafter will
represent the right to receive such number of Acquiring Fund
Shares after the Closing(s) as determined in accordance with
Section 1.1.
1.5. If a request shall be made for a change of the registration of
shares of each Acquiring Fund to another person from the
account of the shareholder in which name the shares are
registered in the records of the Acquired Fund it shall be a
condition of such registration of shares that there be
furnished the Acquiring Fund an instrument of transfer
properly endorsed, accompanied by appropriate signature
guarantees and otherwise in proper form for transfer and, if
any of such shares are outstanding in certificated form, the
certificates representing such shares, and that the person
requesting such registration shall pay to such Acquiring Fund
any transfer or other taxes required by reason of such
registration or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of
the Acquiring Fund that such tax has been paid or is not
applicable.
1.6. Following the transfer of assets by each Acquired Fund to the
corresponding Acquiring Fund, the assumption of the Acquired
Fund's Stated Liabilities by the Acquiring Fund, and the
distribution by the Acquired Fund of the Acquiring Fund Shares
received by it pursuant to paragraph 1.4, Pilot Funds shall
terminate the qualification, classification and registration
of such Acquired Fund at all appropriate federal and state
agencies. All reporting and other obligations of Pilot Funds
shall remain the exclusive responsibility of Pilot Funds up to
and including the date on which the particular Acquired Fund
is terminated and deregistered, subject to any reporting or
other obligations described in paragraph 4.10.
1.7. The failure of one Acquired Fund to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby shall not affect the
consummation or validity of a Reorganization with respect to
any other Acquired Fund, and the provisions of this Agreement
shall be construed to effect this intent, including, without
limitation, as the context requires, construing the terms
"Acquiring Fund" and "Acquired Fund" as meaning only those
series of Nations Fund and Pilot Funds, respectively, which
are involved in a Reorganization as of a Closing Date.
I-4
<PAGE>
2. VALUATION
2.1. With respect to each Acquired Fund, the value of the Fund
Assets shall be the value of such assets computed as of the
time at which its net asset value is calculated pursuant to
the valuation procedures set forth in each Acquiring Fund's
then current prospectus and statement of additional
information on the Closing Date (such time and date being
herein called the "Applicable Valuation Date").
2.2. The net asset value of the share of a class of shares of an
Acquiring Fund shall be the net asset value per share of such
class computed on the Applicable Valuation Date, using the
valuation procedures set forth in the Acquiring Fund's then
current prospectus and statement of additional information.
2.3. All computations of value contemplated by this Article 2 shall
be made by the respective Acquiring Fund's co-administrator,
First Data Investor Services Group, Inc. ("First Data") in
accordance with its regular practice as pricing agent and
reviewed by its independent accountants. Each Acquiring Fund
shall cause its Co-Administrator to deliver a copy of its
valuation report, reviewed by its independent accountants to
Pilot Funds and each Acquired Fund at the Closing(s).
3. CLOSING(S) AND CLOSING DATE
3.1. The Closing(s) for the Reorganization(s) shall occur on May 2,

Arkansas 72201 or at such other location as is mutually
agreeable to the parties. All acts taking place at the

provided.

any other assets have been delivered in proper form to the

for payment shall have been made, by such Acquired Fund in
conjunction with the delivery of portfolio securities. Proper
delivery of cash shall
I-5
<PAGE>
be by wire to The Bank of New York, the Acquiring Funds'
Sub-Custodian, pursuant to instruction to be delivered prior
to the Closing(s).
3.2. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event
that on the Applicable Valuation Date (a) the New York Stock
Exchange shall be closed to trading or trading thereon shall
be restricted or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on
such exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that, in the
judgment of Nations Fund and Pilot Funds, accurate appraisal
of the value of the net assets of an Acquiring Fund or an
Acquired Fund is impracticable, the Applicable Valuation Date
and Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business
day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed
without restriction or disruption and reporting shall have
been restored.
3.4. With respect to each Acquired Fund, Pilot Funds shall provide
Nations Fund and its transfer agents with immediate access

and their liability for or exemption from back-up withholding.
Each corresponding Acquiring Fund shall issue and deliver to
the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of Pilot Funds, acting on
behalf of the Acquired Fund, a confirmation evidencing the
Acquiring Fund Shares credited on the Closing Date or shall
provide evidence satisfactory to each Acquired Fund that such
Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to each Acquired
Fund's account on the books of each Acquiring Fund. At the
Closing(s), each party shall deliver to the other such bills
of sale, checks, assignments, share certificates, if any,

conveyance as such other party or its counsel may reasonably
request.
3.5. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, each Acquired
Fund shall deliver, in accordance with Article 1 hereof, to
the corresponding Acquiring Fund a statement of the Fund

effect that, for federal income tax purposes:
8.7.a. the transfer of all or substantially all of an
Acquired Fund's assets in exchange for the
corresponding Acquiring Fund Shares and the
assumption by each Acquiring Fund of the Stated
Liabilities of the corresponding Acquired Fund will
constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code and each Acquiring Fund
and Acquired Fund will be a "party to a
reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b)
of the Code;
8.7.b. no gain or loss will be recognized by an Acquired
Fund upon the transfer of its assets to the
corresponding Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for
the Acquiring Fund Shares or the assumption of the
Stated Liabilities of the Acquired Fund by the
Acquiring Fund;
8.7.c. no gain or loss will be recognized by an Acquiring
Fund upon (i) its receipt of assets from the
corresponding Acquired Fund solely in exchange for
the Acquiring Fund Shares, (ii) the Acquiring Fund's
I-26
<PAGE>
assumption of the Acquired Fund's Stated Liabilities,
and (iii) the constructive or actual distribution by
the Acquired Fund of the Acquiring Fund Shares to the
Acquired Fund shareholders in exchange for their
shares of the Acquired Fund;
8.7.d. the aggregate federal income tax basis of an Acquired
Fund's assets received by the corresponding Acquiring
Fund pursuant to the Reorganization will be the same
as the aggregate federal income tax basis of those
assets in the hands of the Acquired Fund immediately
prior to the Reorganization;
8.7.e. the holding period of an Acquired Fund's assets
received by the corresponding Acquiring Fund pursuant
to the Reorganization will include the period for
which such assets have been held by the Acquired
Fund;
8.7.f. no gain or loss will be recognized by an Acquired
Fund on the distribution to its shareholders of the
Acquiring Fund Shares to be received by the Acquired
Fund in the Reorganization;
8.7.g. no gain or loss will be recognized by the
shareholders of an Acquired Fund upon their receipt
of the Acquiring Fund Shares in exchange for such
shareholders' shares of the Acquired Fund;
8.7.h. the federal income tax basis of the Acquiring Fund
Shares received by the shareholders of the
corresponding Acquired Fund will be the same as the
federal income tax basis of the Acquired Fund shares
exchanged by such shareholders pursuant to the
Reorganization;
8.7.i the holding period for the Acquiring Fund Shares for
which shares of the corresponding Acquired Fund are
exchanged pursuant to the Reorganization will include
the period that the Acquired Fund shares have been
held by the holder, provided that the Acquired Fund
shares have been held as a capital asset by the
holder; and
8.7.j an Acquiring Fund will succeed to and take into
account the tax attributes described in Section
381(c) of the Code of the corresponding Acquired Fund
as of the Closing Date, subject to the conditions and
limitations specified in the Code.
I-27
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither an Acquiring Fund
nor its corresponding Acquired Fund may waive the condition set forth in this
paragraph 8.7.
9. BROKERAGE FEES AND EXPENSES
9.1. Nations Fund, for itself and on behalf of the Acquiring Funds
and Pilot Funds, on behalf of itself and on behalf of the
Acquired Funds, represent and warrant that there are no
brokers or finders entitled to receive any payments in
connection with the transactions provided for herein.
9.2. Except as otherwise provided herein, NationsBanc Advisors,
Inc. ("NBAI") will bear the expenses incurred in connection
with entering into and carrying out the provisions of this
Agreement. Certain expenses to be incurred in connection with
the Reorganization, approximately $450,000, will be allocated
to the Acquiring Funds following the consummation of the
Reorganization (the "Allocated Amount"). In addition, NBAI has
committed to maintain current (after waiver) expense ratios
for all Acquiring Funds for a period of at least two years
after the Closing, absent extraordinary circumstances or a
reduction in fund assets that impacts fee levels (the "Expense
Commitment"). Because of this Expense Commitment, NBAI will in
effect absorb a substantial portion of the Allocated Amount
(approximately $320,000) through such Expense Commitment. NBAI
also will absorb the portion of the Allocated Amount that
otherwise would be borne by current Acquired Fund
shareholders, approximately $31,000, by making a capital
contribution in this amount to the Pilot Funds prior to the
Closing.
10. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES
10.1. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous
understanding or arrangement with respect to the subject
matter hereof.
10.2. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in
this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or
in connection herewith shall survive the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein.
I-28
<PAGE>
11. TERMINATION
11.1. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions
contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the
Closing:
11.1.a. by the mutual written consent of Nations Fund and
Pilot Funds;
11.1.b. by either Nations Fund or Pilot Funds by notice to
the other, without liability to the terminating party
on account of such termination (provided any such
termination shall not excuse the terminating party
from any liability arising out of a default or breach
of this Agreement by such terminating party) if such
Closing(s) shall not have occurred on or before
December 31, 1997; or
11.1.c by either of Nations Fund or the Pilot Funds, in
writing without liability to the terminating party on
account of such termination (provided any such
termination shall not excuse the terminating party
from any liability arising out of a material default
or breach of this Agreement by such terminating
party), if (i) the other party shall fail to perform
in any material respect its agreements contained
herein required to be performed prior to the Closing
Date, (ii) the other party materially breaches or
shall have breached any of its representations,
warranties or covenants contained herein, or (iii)
any other express condition precedent to the
obligations of the terminating party has not been met
and it reasonably appears that it will not or cannot
be met.
11.2. Termination of this Agreement pursuant to paragraphs 11.1(a)
or (b) shall terminate all obligations of the parties
hereunder with respect to the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund
affected by such termination, or with respect to Nations Fund
and Pilot Funds, as the case may be, and there shall be no
liability for damages on the part of Nations Fund or Pilot
Funds or the Trustees or officers of Nations Fund or Pilot
Funds, to any other party or its Trustees or officers on
account of termination pursuant to paragraphs 11.1(a) or (b);
provided, however, that notwithstanding any termination of
this Agreement pursuant to paragraph 11.1, such termination
shall not relieve either party of its respective obligations
pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof.

This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented in such
manner as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the authorized officers of
Nations Fund, acting on behalf of each Acquiring Fund and the authorized
officers of Pilot Funds, acting on behalf of the shareholders of each Acquired

for determining the number of shares of the corresponding Acquiring Funds to be
issued to the Acquired Fund Investors under this Agreement to the detriment of
such Acquired Fund Investors, or otherwise materially and adversely affecting
such Acquired Fund, without the Acquired Fund obtaining the Acquired Fund
Investors' further approval except that nothing in this paragraph 12 shall be
construed to prohibit any Acquiring Fund and the corresponding Acquired Fund
from amending this Agreement to change the Closing Date or Applicable Valuation
Date by mutual agreement.

14 INDEMNIFICATION
14.1 Each Acquiring Fund will indemnify and hold harmless, out of
its assets but no other assets, the corresponding Acquired
Fund and such Fund's Trustees (for purposes of this paragraph
14.1, the "Indemnified Parties") against any and all expenses,
losses, claims, damages and liabilities at any time imposed
upon or reasonably incurred by any one or more of the
Indemnified Parties in connection with, arising out of, or
resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which
any one or more of the Indemnified Parties may be involved or
with which any one or more of the Indemnified Parties may be
threatened by reason of (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact, provided or made by
Nations Fund or the Acquiring Fund, and relating to Nations
Fund or the Acquiring Fund contained in the Registration
Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising
out of, or based upon, the omission or alleged omission to
state in the foregoing Registration Statement a material fact
relating to Nations Fund or the Acquiring Fund, required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading; (ii) a breach of any representation or warranty
made in this Agreement by the Acquiring Fund; or (iii) any
other circumstance not involving (a) negligence or willful
misconduct in connection with the discharge of, or reckless
disregard of, any duties or responsibilities of the
Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder; (b) a
circumstance pursuant to which such Indemnified Party would
have an obligation to provide an indemnification under Section
14.2; or (c) a breach of any of the representations or
warranties of Pilot Funds made in this Agreement. The
Acquiring Funds' obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party
pursuant to this Section 14.1 shall include any amounts paid
by any one or more of the Indemnified Parties in a reasonable
compromise or settlement of any such claim, action, suit or
I-31
<PAGE>
proceeding, or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding
made with the consent of the Acquiring Fund.
Each Acquiring Fund will not indemnify or hold harmless the
Indemnified Parties, identified in this paragraph 14.1, for
any expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities at any
time imposed upon or reasonably incurred by any one or more of
the Indemnified Parties in connection with, arising out of, or
resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which
any one or more of the Indemnified Parties may be involved or
with which any one or more of the Indemnified Parties may be
threatened by reason of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact relating to Pilot Funds or the
Acquired Fund contained in the representations, warranties and
covenants of this Agreement or arising out of or based upon
the omission or alleged omission to state in the foregoing
representations, warranties and covenants, a material fact
relating to Pilot Funds or the Acquired Fund required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading.
The Indemnified Parties will notify the Acquiring Fund in
writing within ten days after the receipt by any one or more
of the Indemnified Parties of any notice of legal process or
any suit brought against or claim made against such
Indemnified Party as to any matters covered by this paragraph
14.1. The Acquiring Fund shall be entitled to participate at
its own expense in the defense of any claim, action, suit or
proceeding covered by this paragraph 14.1, or, if it so
elects, to assume at its expense by counsel satisfactory to
the Indemnified Parties the defense of any such claim, action,
suit or proceeding, and, if the Acquiring Fund elects to
assume such defense, the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled
to participate in the defense of any such claim, action, suit
or proceeding at their own expense. The Acquiring Fund's
obligation under this paragraph 14.1 to indemnify and hold
harmless the Indemnified Parties shall constitute a guarantee
of payment so that the Acquiring Fund will pay in the first
instance any expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities
required to be paid by it under this paragraph 14.1 without
the necessity of the Indemnified Parties' first paying the
same.
14.2 Each Acquired Fund will indemnify and hold harmless, out of
its assets but no other assets, the corresponding Acquiring
Fund and such Fund's Trustees (for purposes of this paragraph
14.2, the "Indemnified
I-32
<PAGE>
Parties") against any and all expenses, losses, claims,
damages and liabilities at any time imposed upon or reasonably
incurred by any one or more of the Indemnified Parties in
connection with, arising out of, or resulting from any claim,
action, suit or proceeding in which any one or more of the
Indemnified Parties may be involved or with which any one or
more of the Indemnified Parties may be threatened by reason of
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact, provided or made by Pilot Funds or the Acquired Fund,
and relating to Pilot Funds or the Acquired Fund, contained in
the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or arising out of or based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state in the foregoing Registration
Statement a material fact relating to Pilot Funds or the
Acquired Fund, required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, including, any
amounts paid by any one or more of the Indemnified Parties in
a reasonable compromise or settlement of any such claim,
action, suit or proceeding, or threatened claim, action, suit
or proceeding made with the consent of the Acquired Fund.
Each Acquired Fund, however, will not indemnify or hold
harmless the Indemnified Parties, identified in this paragraph
14.2, for any expenses, losses, claims, damages and
liabilities at any time imposed upon or reasonably incurred by
any one or more of the Indemnified Parties in connection with,
arising out of, or resulting from any claim, action, suit or
proceeding in which any one or more of the Indemnified Parties
may be involved or with which any one or more of the
Indemnified Parties may be threatened by reason of any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
relating to Nations Fund or the Acquiring Fund contained in
the representations, warranties and covenants of this
Agreement or arising out of or based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state in the foregoing representations,
warranties and covenants, a material fact relating to Nations
Fund or the Acquiring Fund required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements relating to the Nations Fund
or the Acquiring Fund therein not misleading.
The Indemnified Parties will notify the Acquired Fund in
writing within ten days after the receipt by any one or more
of the Indemnified Parties of any notice of legal process or
any suit brought against or claim made against such
Indemnified Parties as to any matters covered by this
paragraph 14.2. The Acquired Fund shall be entitled to
I-33
<PAGE>
participate at its own expense in the defense of any claim,
action, suit or proceeding covered by this paragraph 14.2, or,
if it so elects, to assume at its expense by counsel
satisfactory to the Indemnified Parties the defense of any
such claim, action, suit or proceeding, and if the Acquired
Fund elects to assume such defense, the Indemnified Parties
shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such
claim, action, suit or proceeding at their own expense. The
Acquired Fund's obligation under this paragraph 14.2 to
indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties shall
constitute a guarantee of payment so that the Acquired Fund
will pay in the first instance any expenses, losses, claims,
damages and liabilities required to be paid by it under this
paragraph 14.2 without the necessity of the Indemnified
Parties' first paying the same.

The following tables (a) compare the fees and expenses as of November
30, 1996 for the respective Pilot Funds and their corresponding Nations Funds
and (b) show the estimated fees and expenses for the corresponding Nations Funds
on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the reorganization. The purpose of

on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the portfolios.
NBAI has committed to maintain current (after waiver) expense ratios for all
Nations Fund share classes for a period of at least two years after the Closing,
absent extraordinary circumstances or a reduction in fund assets that impacts

APPENDIX III
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, LIMITATIONS AND CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT POLICIES
OF THE EXISTING NATIONS FUNDS AND THE CORRESPONDING PILOT FUNDS
-----------------------------------------------
This Appendix sets forth the investment objectives,
fundamental and certain nonfundamental limitations and significant investment
policies of the eight Pilot Funds that will be reorganized into the seven
Nations Funds, as well as the investment objectives and significant investment
policies of these Existing Nations Funds. The following is qualified in its
entirety by the more detailed information included in the prospectuses and
statements of additional information for the Nations Funds and the corresponding
Pilot Funds which are incorporated by reference in this Combined Proxy
Statement/Prospectus.
I. PILOT DIVERSIFIED BOND INCOME FUND/
NATIONS STRATEGIC FIXED INCOME FUND
A. Investment Objectives.
1. Pilot Diversified Bond Income Fund: to seek current income
consistent with preservation of capital by investing primarily in debt
securities. The Fund seeks total return as a secondary objective.
2. Nations Strategic Fixed Income Fund: to seek total return
by investing in investment grade fixed income securities.
Comment:
Both Funds invest at least 65% of their assets in fixed income
(i.e. "bond") securities which typically include bonds, notes, debentures,
asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities of governmental issuers or of
private issuers, U.S. Government obligations, and dollar-denominated debt
obligations of foreign issuers, including foreign corporations and foreign
governments, among others. The Funds may also invest in "high quality" money
market instruments which may include cash and cash equivalents, and repurchase
agreements. The average dollar-weighted maturity of the Pilot funds' portfolio
will be between five and fifteen years and the Nations fund's average
dollar-weighted maturity will be 10 years or less, and will, under no
circumstances, exceed 15 years.
While most obligations acquired by the Funds will be issued by
companies or governmental entities located within the United States, Nations
Strategic Fixed Income Fund may invest
III-1
<PAGE>
up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities. Pilot Diversified Bond Income
Fund does not intend to invest more than 5% of its total assets in foreign
securities.
The Nations Strategic Fixed Income Fund will only invest in
investment grade debt obligations, which are obligations that have been rated in
one of the top four investment categories by at least one of the Nationally
Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations ("NRSRO") or, if not rated,
determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. The Pilot Diversified
Bond Income Fund will only purchase those debt securities rated in the top three
categories by at least one NRSRO, or if not rated, determined by Adviser to be
of comparable quality. Obligations that may be purchase by the Nations Strategic
Fixed Income Fund that are rated in the lowest of the top four investment grade
rating categories (rated "BBB" by at least one NRSRO) have speculative
characteristics and are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to make
principal and interest payments than is the case with higher grade debt
obligations. Subsequent to its purchase by the Fund, a debt obligation may cease
to be rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum rating required for
purchase by the Fund. The Adviser will consider such an event in determining
whether to continue to hold such obligation.
II. PILOT GROWTH FUND/NATIONS DISCIPLINED EQUITY FUND
A. Investment Objectives.
1. Pilot Growth Fund: to provide long-term capital growth by
investing primarily in equity securities.
2. Nations Disciplined Equity Fund: to seek growth of capital
by investing in companies that are expected to produce significant increases in
earnings per share.
Comment:
Under normal market conditions, both Funds invest at least 65%
of their assets in common stocks of companies the Adviser believes are likely to
experience significant increases in earnings. The goal of both Funds is
long-term capital appreciation, and therefore any dividend income either Fund
receives is incidental. The objectives are met with a focus on identifying
companies with positive historical earnings trends and superior sustainable
growth. Such companies, when experiencing superior returns, have the potential
to generate significant increases in per share earnings and subsequently, in the
stock price.
The Funds may also invest in debt obligations rated investment
grade by at least one NRSRO, or if unrated, are determined to be of comparable
quality. Pilot Growth Fund may invest 5% of its total assets in foreign
securities, while Nations Disciplined Equity Fund may invest up to 20% of its
total assets in foreign securities. Further, Pilot Growth Fund reserves the
right to invest up to 100% of its assets in cash, cash equivalents and debt
obligations when the Adviser deems it necessary during periods of unusual market
activity. Similarly, Nations
III-2
<PAGE>
Disciplined Equity Fund will invest in repurchase agreements and money market
instruments when market conditions warrant such investments.
III. PILOT GROWTH AND INCOME FUND/NATIONS VALUE FUND
A. Investment Objectives.
1. Pilot Growth and Income Fund: to seek capital appreciation
and current income by investing primarily in common stocks of U.S. companies.
2. Nations Value Fund: to seek growth of capital by investing
in companies that are believed to be undervalued.
Comment:
Both of Funds invest primarily in equity securities which are
typically common stocks, preferred stocks and debt securities that are
convertible into common stocks. Both Funds will invest, during normal market and
economic conditions, at least 65% of their total assets in common stocks. In
addition, while both Funds concentrate their investments in publicly traded
common stocks of U.S. companies, they may also invest up to 20% of their total
assets in the securities of foreign issuers.
Pilot Growth and Income Fund invests in stocks which
demonstrate favorable prospects for capital growth and current dividend income
based their current earnings potential, existing resources and assets, trading
liquidity, marketing valuation and profitability.
Nations Value Fund invests in stocks selected from a universe
of companies, each of which has a market a capitalization of $500 million or
more and has an average trading volume of at least $3 million. These
requirements indicate to the Adviser that the Fund has adequate return to
support normal purchase and sale activities without affecting prevailing market
prices of the issuer's shares. Further, the Fund attempts to select companies
with strong total return potential and better opportunities for capital
appreciation, by using indicators such as lower price-to-earnings ratios.
Both Funds may also invest in other types of securities to
meet anticipated redemption requests, or as a temporary defensive measure if
market conditions warrant. These other investments may include: cash or cash
equivalents, debt obligations, money market instruments and repurchase
agreements.
IV. PILOT INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL BOND FUND/
NATIONS INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
A. Investment Objectives.
III-3
<PAGE>
1. Pilot Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund: to seek current
income free of federal income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital.
2. Nations Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund: to seek high
current income exempt from Federal income tax as is consistent with moderate
fluctuation of principal. The Fund invests in investment grade,
intermediate-term municipal securities.
Comment:
Both Funds seek to attain their objectives by investing
primarily in debt obligations issued by or on behalf of states, territories and
possessions of the United States, the District of Columbia and of their
agencies, authorities, instrumentalities, and political subdivisions which are
exempt from Federal income tax ("Municipal Obligations"). Each Fund, under
normal market conditions, will invest at least 80% of its net assets in
Municipal Obligations. The Funds are managed to seek capital appreciation and
minimize loss due to interest rate movements, which fluctuate inversely in
relation to the value of the Fund's portfolio. Both Funds invest in investment
grade municipal obligations.
Both Funds, although they do not currently intend to do so on
a regular basis, may invest more than 25% of its assets in Municipal
Obligations, the interest on which comes solely from the revenue of similar
projects. The Funds however, refrains from investing in projects as such due to
the fact that a concentration of securities issued by issuers in the same state
or in industrial development bonds, exposes the Funds to certain risks
(including legal and economic risks).
Pilot Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund has a relatively short
average dollar-weighted maturity; between three and ten years, though it is
ordinarily less than seven years. Similarly, Nations Intermediate Municipal Bond
Fund has an average dollar-weighted maturity of between three and ten years,
with a duration between five and six years.
Each Fund also has the ability to invest up to 20% of its net
assets in taxable obligations and private activity bonds. Taxable obligations
may include repurchase agreements and cash equivalents. Each Fund may also hold
uninvested cash reserves pending investment or during defensive periods.
V. PILOT INTERMEDIATE U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND/
NATIONS SHORT-INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT FUND
A. Investment Objectives.
1. Pilot Intermediate U.S. Government Securities Fund: to seek
total return and preservation of capital by investing primarily in U.S.
Government securities and repurchase agreements collateralized by such
securities.
III-4
<PAGE>
2. Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund: to seek high
current income consistent with modest fluctuation of principal. The Fund invests
primarily in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities.
Comment:
These two Funds invest substantially all of their assets in
U.S. Government Obligations, which may consist of a variety of U.S. Government
securities, including U.S. Treasury bonds, notes and bills, and obligations of
many U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities. U.S. Government Obligations
have historically had a low risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. The
Pilot Intermediate U.S. Government Securities Fund invests at least 65% of its
total assets in U.S. Government Obligations and repurchase agreements
collateralized by such securities; and also may invest up to 35% of its total
assets in debt securities of U.S. and foreign corporate and foreign government
issuers, ADRs, EDRs, zero coupon bonds and cash equivalents. Both Funds may also
invest in debt securities of foreign corporate and governmental issuers, as well
as "high quality" money market instruments which may include cash and cash
equivalents, and repurchase agreements.
Further, both Funds may invest in futures contracts and
options. Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund may also invest in
asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities of governmental issuers or of
private issuers, including mortgage pass-through certificates and collateralized
mortgage obligations, real estate investment trust securities or mortgage-backed
bonds.
Pilot Intermediate U.S. Government Securities Fund has an
average dollar-weighted maturity of between three and ten years, though usually
less than seven years. However, Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund has a
shorter average dollar-weighted maturity of between three and five years, and
the duration will not exceed five years. In general, longer-term debt
instruments tend to fluctuate in value more than shorter-term debt instruments
in response to interest rate movements.
VI. PILOT MISSOURI SHORT-TERM TAX-EXEMPT FUND/
NATIONS TAX EXEMPT FUND
A. Investment Objectives.
1. Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund: to seek as high
a level of current income which is exempt from federal income tax as is
consistent with the preservation of capital.
2. Nations Tax Exempt Fund: to seek as high a level of current
interest income exempt from Federal income taxes as is consistent with liquidity
and stability of principal.
Comment:
III-5
<PAGE>
Each of these Funds is a money market fund and seeks to
maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share, although there is no assurance
that they will be able to do so. Both Funds seek to attain their objectives by
investing primarily in Municipal Obligations which are debt obligations issued
by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States, the
District of Columbia and of their agencies, authorities, instrumentalities, and
political subdivisions which are exempt from Federal income tax. Each Fund may
also hold uninvested cash reserves pending investment or during defensive
periods.
A difference between the Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt
Fund and the Nations Tax Exempt Fund is that the Pilot Missouri Short-Term
Tax-Exempt Fund invests exclusively in high quality money market instruments and
invests at least 80% of its assets in debt obligations issued by the State of
Missouri, except in certain instances when the Fund's Advisers deem that a
temporary defensive posture is appropriate. Nations Tax Exempt Fund does not
concentrate in municipal obligations of any one state or issuer but rather
invests 80% of its net assets in general Municipal Obligations, under normal
market conditions. Nations Tax Exempt Fund, however, may invest in private
activity bonds, the interest on which may be treated as a specific tax
preference item under the Federal alternative minimum tax, whereas the Pilot
Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund may not.
Each Fund is a money market fund and, in accordance with Rule
2a-7 under the 1940 Act, may invest in instruments with remaining maturities not
exceeding 13 months, and the Funds' dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity
must not exceed 90 days. As provided for and defined in Rule 2a-7, each Fund may
only purchase "Eligible Securities" and only if, immediately after such
purchase: the Fund would have no more than 5% of its total assets in "First Tier
Securities" of any one issuer, excluding government securities and except as
otherwise permitted for temporary purposes and for certain guarantees and
unconditional puts; the Fund would own no more than 10% of the voting securities
of any one issuer; the Fund would have no more than 5% of its total assets in
"Second Tier Securities"; and the Fund would have no more than the greater of $1
million or 1% of its total assets in "Second Tier Securities" of any one issuer.
VII. PILOT MUNICIPAL BOND FUND/
NATIONS MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
A. Investment Objectives.
1. Pilot Municipal Bond Fund: to seek current income free of
federal income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital.
2. Nations Municipal Income Fund: to seek high current income
exempt from Federal income tax with the potential for principal fluctuation
associated with investments in long-term municipal securities. The Fund invests
in investment grade, long-term municipal securities.

(including legal and economic risks).
Pilot Municipal Bond Fund has an average dollar-weighted
maturity; between five and thirty years. Similarly, Nations Municipal Income
Fund has an average dollar-weighted maturity of greater than ten years, and a
duration between 7.5 and 9.5 years.
Each Fund also has the ability to invest up to 20% of its net
assets in taxable obligations and private activity bonds. Taxable obligations
may include repurchase agreements and cash equivalents. Each Fund may also hold
uninvested cash reserves pending investment or during defensive periods.
VIII. PILOT SHORT-TERM TAX-EXEMPT DIVERSIFIED FUND/
NATIONS TAX EXEMPT FUND
A. Investment Objectives.
1. Pilot Short-Term Tax-Exempt Diversified Fund: to seek as
high a level of current income which is exempt from federal income tax as is

Nations Tax Exempt Fund will invest 80% of its net assets in Municipal

GENERAL INFORMATION
The proposed Reorganization contemplates: (i) the transfer of
all of the assets and stated liabilities of each Pilot Fund to a corresponding
Nations Fund in exchange for Shares of comparable classes of the corresponding
Nations Fund; and (ii) the distribution of Nations Fund Shares to the
shareholders of the Pilot Funds in liquidation of the Pilot Funds. The
Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions with respect to each Pilot
Fund, including shareholder approval. Following the Reorganization, Pilot will
wind up its affairs and deregister as an investment company under the 1940 Act.
As a result of the proposed Reorganization, a Pilot Fund shareholder
will become a shareholder of its corresponding Nations Fund and will hold,
immediately after the Closing(s), Shares of the comparable class of the
corresponding Nations Fund having a total dollar value equal to the total dollar
value of the Shares of the Pilot Fund that the shareholder held immediately
before the Closing(s).

INTRODUCTORY NOTE TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma information gives effect to
the proposed transfer of the assets and stated liabilities of the Pilot Funds to
the Nations Funds listed under Table 1 of the Combined Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, accounted for as if each transfer had occurred as of
December 31, 1996 and as if the Nations Funds had operated for the periods then
ended. However, it is possible that one or more of the Pilot Funds will not
approve the merger, in which case the resulting fund or funds will be comprised
of only those Pilot Funds that approve the merger. In addition, each pro forma
combining statement has been prepared based upon the structure of the proposed
fee and expense structure of the applicable surviving Nations Fund.
The pro forma financial information should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of the
Pilot Funds and Nations Funds included or incorporated by reference in this
Statement of Additional Information. Each combination of the above Pilot Funds
and Nations Funds will be accounted for as a tax-free reorganization.

1. Basis of Combination
Nations Fund Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. As of
September 30, 1996 the Trust offers thirty-two separate portfolios. The
unaudited Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets
and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations reflect the accounts of the
Nations Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and the Pilot Intermediate Municipal
Bond Fund for the period ended September 30, 1996. These statements have been
derived from books and records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at
September 30, 1996.
The pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of the Pilot Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund in exchange for
shares of Nations Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund. Under generally accepted
accounting principles, the historical cost of investment securities will be
carried forward to the surviving entity and the results of operations of the
Pilot Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund for pre-combination periods will not be
restated. The pro forma statements do not reflect the expenses of either fund in
carrying out its obligations under the proposed Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization.
The Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets and
Liabilities and the Statement of Operations should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements of the funds incorporated by reference in
the Statement of Additional Information.

For the period ended September 30, 1996, the Nations Intermediate Municipal Bond
Fund's investment advisory fee was computed based on the annual rate of 0.50% of
the average daily net assets. The administration fee was computed based on the
annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Trust and the investment
portfolios of Nations Fund, Inc. and Nations Fund Portfolios, Inc. (two other
registered open-end investment companies that are part of the Nations Fund
Family) on a combined basis.
The Trust has adopted a shareholder servicing and distribution plan ("Investor A
Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Investor A Shares of
the Nations Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund. Under the Investor A Plan,
aggregate payments may not exceed 0.20%, on an annualized basis, of the average
daily net assets of the Fund's Investor A Shares.
The Trust has also adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
1940 Act with respect to Investor C Shares ("Investor C Distribution Plan") and
Investor N Shares ("Investor N Distribution Plan") of the Nations Intermediate
Municipal Bond Fund. Under the Investor C Distribution Plan and Investor N
Distribution Plan, aggregate payments may not exceed 0.25%, on an annualized
basis, of the average daily net assets of the Investor C Shares and Investor N
Shares, respectively, of the Fund.
The Trust has also adopted a shareholder servicing plan with respect to Investor
C Shares ("Investor C Servicing Plan") and Investor N Shares ("Investor N
Servicing Plan") of the Nations Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund. Under the
Investor C Servicing Plan and Investor N Servicing Plan, aggregate payments may
not exceed 0.25%, on an annualized basis, of the average daily net assets of the
Investor C Shares and Investor N Shares of the Fund.

2. Portfolio Valuation
Securities of Nations Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund are valued by an
independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Valuations are
based upon a matrix system and / or appraisals provided by the pricing service
which takes into consideration such factors as yields, prices, maturities, sell
features and ratings on comparable securities. Certain securities may be valued
by one or more principal market makers. Restricted securities, if any,
securities for which market quotations are not readily available and other
assets are valued at fair market value under the supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost. Pilot Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund uses similar rules for
determining portfolio valuation.
3. Capital Shares
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional
shares of Nations Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund which would have been issued
at September 30, 1996 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The pro
forma number of shares outstanding of 30,966,424 consists of 21,839,026
additional shares assumed issued in the reorganization plus 9,127,398 shares of
Nations Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund at September 30, 1996.

Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Combination
Nations Fund Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. As of
December 31, 1996, the Trust offers thirty-three separate portfolios. The
unaudited Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets
and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations reflect the accounts of the
Nations Strategic Fixed Income Fund and the Pilot Diversified Bond Income Fund
for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1996. These statements have been
derived from books and records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at
December 31, 1996.
The pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of the Pilot Diversified Bond Income Fund in exchange for
shares of Nations Strategic Fixed Income Fund. Under generally accepted
accounting principles, the historical cost of investment securities will be
carried forward to the surviving entity and the results of operations of the
Pilot Diversified Bond Income Fund for pre-combination periods will not be
restated. The pro forma statements do not reflect the expenses of either fund in
carrying out its obligations under the proposed Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization.
The Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets and
Liabilities and the Statement of Operations should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements of the funds incorporated by reference in
the Statement of Additional Information.

Nations Strategic Fixed Income Fund
Pilot Diversified Bond Income Fund
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the twelve month period ended December 31, 1996, the Nations Strategic Fixed
Income Fund's investment advisory fee was computed based on the annual rate of
0.60% of the average daily net assets. The administration fee was computed based
on the annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Trust and the
investment portfolios of Nations Fund, Inc. and Nations Fund Portfolios, Inc.
(two other registered open-end investment companies that are part of the Nations
Fund Family) on a combined basis.
The Trust has adopted a shareholder administration plan ("Administration Plan")
for the Primary B Shares of the Nations Strategic Fixed Income Fund. Under the
Administration Plan, aggregate payments may not exceed 0.50%, on an annualized
basis, of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Primary B Shares.
The Trust has also adopted a shareholder servicing and distribution plan
("Investor A Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Investor A
Shares of the Nations Strategic Fixed Income Fund. Under the Investor A Plan,
aggregate payments may not exceed 0.20% on an annualized basis, of the average
daily net assets of the Fund's Investor A Shares.
The Trust has also adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
1940 Act with respect to Investor C Shares ("Investor C Distribution Plan") and
Investor N Shares ("Investor N Distribution Plan") of the Nations Strategic
Fixed Income Fund. Under the Investor C Distribution Plan and Investor N
Distribution Plan, aggregate payments may not exceed 0.25% and 0.40%, on an
annualized basis, of the average daily net assets of the Investor C Shares and
Investor N Shares, respectively, of the Fund.
The Trust has also adopted a shareholder servicing plan with respect to Investor
C Shares ("Investor C Servicing Plan") and Investor N Shares ("Investor N
Servicing Plan") of the Nations Strategic Fixed Income Fund. Under the Investor
C Servicing Plan and Investor N Servicing Plan, aggregate

Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
payments may not exceed 0.25%, on an annualized basis, of the average daily net
assets of the Investor C Shares and Investor N Shares of the Fund.
2. Portfolio Valuation
Securities of Nations Strategic Fixed Income Fund are valued using broker
quotations or prices provided by a pricing service. Certain securities are
valued using broker quotations that are based on a matrix pricing system which
considers such factors as security prices, yields and maturities. The value of
mortgage-backed securities can be significantly affected by changes in interest
rates. Certain securities may be valued by one or more principal market makers.
Restricted securities, if any, securities for which market quotations are not
readily available and other assets are valued at fair value under the
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term investments that mature in 60
days or less are valued at amortized cost. Pilot Diversified Bond Income Fund
uses similar rules for determining portfolio valuation.
3. Capital Shares
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional
shares of Nations Strategic Fixed Income Fund which would have been issued at
December 31, 1996 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The pro forma
number of shares outstanding of 114,251,330 consists of 12,213,028 shares
assumed issued in the reorganization plus 102,038,302 shares of Nations
Strategic Fixed Income Fund at December 31, 1996.

Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund
Pilot Intermediate U.S. Government Securities Fund
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Combination
Nations Fund Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. As of
September 30, 1996, the Trust offers thirty-two separate portfolios. The
unaudited Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets
and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations reflect the accounts of the
Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund and the Pilot Intermediate U.S.
Government Securities Fund for the twelve month period ended September 30, 1996.
These statements have been derived from books and records utilized in
calculating daily net asset value at September 30, 1996.
The pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of the Pilot Intermediate U.S. Government Securities Fund in
exchange for shares of Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund. Under
generally accepted accounting principles, the historical cost of investment
securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and the results of
operations of the Pilot Intermediate U.S. Government Securities Fund for
pre-combination periods will not be restated. The pro forma statements do not
reflect the expenses of either fund in carrying out its obligations under the
proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.
The Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets and
Liabilities and the Statement of Operations should be read in conjunction
<PAGE>
Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund
Pilot Intermediate U.S. Government Securities Fund
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
with the historical financial statements of the funds incorporated by reference
in the Statement of Additional Information.
For the twelve month period ended September 30, 1996, the Nations
Short-Intermediate Government Securities Fund's investment advisory fee was
computed based on the annual rate of 0.60% of the average daily net assets. The
administration fee was computed based on the annual rate of 0.10% of average
daily net assets of the Trust and the investment portfolios of Nations Fund,
Inc. and Nations Fund Portfolios, Inc. (two other registered open-end investment
companies that are part of the Nations Fund Family) on a combined basis.
The Trust has adopted a shareholder administration plan ("Administration Plan")
for the Primary B Shares of the Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund.
Under the Administration Plan, aggregate payments may not exceed 0.35%, on an
annualized basis, of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Primary B
Shares.
The Trust has also adopted a shareholder servicing and distribution plan
("Investor A Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Investor A
Shares of the Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund. Under the Investor A
Plan, aggregate payments may not exceed 0.20% on an annualized basis, of the
average daily net assets of the Fund's Investor A Shares.
The Trust has also adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
1940 Act with respect to Investor C Shares ("Investor C Distribution Plan") and
Investor N Shares ("Investor N Distribution Plan") of the Nations
Short-Intermediate Government Fund. Under the Investor C Distribution Plan and
Investor N Distribution Plan, aggregate payments may not exceed 0.25%

<PAGE>
Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund
Pilot Intermediate U.S. Government Securities Fund
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
and 0.35%, on an annualized basis, of the average daily net assets of the
Investor C Shares and Investor N Shares, respectively, of the Fund.
The Trust has also adopted a shareholder servicing plan with respect to Investor
C Shares ("Investor C Servicing Plan") and Investor N Shares ("Investor N
Servicing Plan") of the Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund. Under the
Investor C Servicing Plan and Investor N Servicing Plan, aggregate payments may
not exceed 0.25%, on an annualized basis, of the average daily net assets of the
Investor C Shares and Investor N Shares of the Fund.
2. Portfolio Valuation
Securities of Nations Short-Intermediate Government Fund are valued using broker
quotations or prices provided by a pricing service. Certain securities are
valued using broker quotations that are based on a matrix pricing system which
considers such factors as security prices, yields and maturities. The value of
mortgage-backed securities can be significantly affected by changes in interest
rates. Certain securities may be valued by one or more principal market makers.
Restricted securities, if any, securities for which market quotations are not
readily available and other assets are valued at fair value under the
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term investments that mature in 60
days or less are valued at amortized cost. Pilot Intermediate U.S. Government
Securities Fund uses similar rules for determining portfolio valuation.

Nations Tax Exempt Fund
Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Combination
Nations FundTrust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. As of
September 30, 1996, the Trust offers thirty-two separate portfolios. The
unaudited Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets
and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations reflect the accounts of the
Nations Tax Exempt Fund and the Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund for
the twelve month period ended September 30, 1996. These statements have been
derived from books and records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at
September 30, 1996.
The pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of the Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund in exchange
for shares of Nations Tax Exempt Fund. Under generally accepted accounting
principles, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward
to the surviving entity and the results of operations of the Pilot Missouri
Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund for pre-combination periods will not be restated. The
pro forma statements do not reflect the expenses of either fund in carrying out
its obligations under the proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.
The Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets and
Liabilities and the Statement of Operations should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements of the funds incorporated by reference in
the Statement of Additional Information.

Nations Tax Exempt Fund
Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the twelve month period ended September 30, 1996, the Nations Tax Exempt
Fund's investment advisory fee was computed based on the annual rate of 0.40% of
average daily net assets. The administration fee was computed based on the
annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Trust and the investment
portfolios of Nations Fund, Inc. and Nations Fund Portfolios, Inc. (two other
registered open-end investment companies that are part of the Nations Fund
Family) on a combined basis.
The Trust has adopted a shareholder servicing plan for the Primary B Shares
("Primary B Servicing Plan"), Investor A Shares ("Investor A Servicing Plan"),
Investor B Shares ("Investor B Servicing Plan"), Investor C Shares ("Investor C
Servicing Plan") and Investor D Shares ("Investor D Servicing Plan") of Nations
Tax Exempt Fund. Under the Primary B Servicing Plan, Investor A Servicing Plan,
Investor B Servicing Plan, Investor C Servicing Plan and Investor D Servicing
Plan, aggregate payments may not exceed 0.25%, 0.25%, 0.20%, 0.15% and 0.25%, on
an annualized basis, of the average daily net assets of the Primary B Shares,
Investor A Shares, Investor B Shares, Investor C Shares and Investor D Shares,
respectively, of the Fund.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Investor D Distribution Plan")
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Investor D Shares of the
Nations Tax Exempt Fund. Under the Investor D Distribution Plan, aggregate
payments may not exceed 0.25%, on an annualized basis, of the average daily net
assets of the Investor D Shares of the Fund
2. Portfolio Valuation
Securities of Nations Tax Exempt Fund are valued on the basis of amortized cost,
which approximates market value. Amortized cost valuation involves valuing an
instrument at its cost initially and thereafter assuming a constant
2
<PAGE>
Nations Tax Exempt Fund
Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, as long as the effect of
fluctuating interest rates on the fair market value of the instrument is not
significant. Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund uses similar rules for
determining portfolio valuation.
3. Capital Shares
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional
shares of Nations Tax Exempt Fund which would have been issued at September 30,
1996 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The pro forma number of
shares outstanding of 1,619,762,107 consists of 226,185,109 shares assumed
issued in the reorganization plus 1,393,576,998 shares of Nations Tax Exempt
Fund at September 30, 1996.

Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Combination
Nations FundTrust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. As of
September 30, 1996, the Trust offers thirty-two separate portfolios. The
unaudited Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets
and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations reflect the accounts of the
Nations Tax Exempt Fund, the Pilot Short-Term Tax-Exempt Diversified Fund and
the Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund for the twelve month period ended
September 30, 1996. These statements have been derived from books and records
utilized in calculating daily net asset value at September 30, 1996.
The pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of the Pilot Short-Term Tax-Exempt Diversified Fund and the
Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund in exchange for shares of Nations Tax
Exempt Fund. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the historical cost
of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and the
results of operations of the Pilot Short-Term Tax-Exempt Diversified Fund and
the Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund for pre-combination periods will
not be restated. The pro forma statements do not reflect the expenses of either
fund in carrying out its obligations under the proposed Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization.
The Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets and
Liabilities and the Statement of Operations should be read in conjunction

Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
with the historical financial statements of the funds incorporated by reference
in the Statement of Additional Information.
For the twelve month period ended September 30, 1996, the Nations Tax Exempt
Fund's investment advisory fee was computed based on the annual rate of 0.40% of
average daily net assets. The administration fee was computed based on the
annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Trust and the investment
portfolios of Nations Fund, Inc. and Nations Fund Portfolios, Inc. (two other
registered open-end investment companies that are part of the Nations Fund
Family) on a combined basis.
The Trust has adopted a shareholder servicing plan for the Primary B Shares
("Primary B Servicing Plan"), Investor A Shares ("Investor A Servicing Plan"),
Investor B Shares ("Investor B Servicing Plan"), Investor C Shares ("Investor C
Servicing Plan") and Investor D Shares ("Investor D Servicing Plan") of Nations
Tax Exempt Fund. Under the Primary B Servicing Plan, Investor A Servicing Plan,
Investor B Servicing Plan, Investor C Servicing Plan and Investor D Servicing

Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
2. Portfolio Valuation
Securities of Nations Tax Exempt Fund are valued on the basis of amortized cost,
which approximates market value. Amortized cost valuation involves valuing an
instrument at its cost initially and thereafter assuming a constant amortization
to maturity of any discount or premium, as long as the effect of fluctuating
interest rates on the fair market value of the instrument is not significant.
Pilot Short-Term Tax-Exempt Diversified Fund and Pilot Missouri Short-Term
Tax-Exempt Fund use similar rules for determining portfolio valuation.
3. Capital Shares
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional
shares of Nations Tax Exempt Fund which would have been issued at September 30,
1996 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The pro forma number of
shares outstanding of 2,009,861,725 consists of 390,099,618 shares assumed
issued for Pilot Short-Term Tax-Exempt Diversified Fund and 226,185,109 shares
assumed issued for Pilot Missouri Short-Term Tax-Exempt Fund in the
reorganization plus 1,393,576,998 shares of Nations Tax Exempt Fund at September
30, 1996.

Nations Tax Exempt Fund
Pilot Short-Term Tax-Exempt Diversified Fund
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Combination
Nations FundTrust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. As of
September 30, 1996, the Trust offers thirty-two separate portfolios. The
unaudited Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets
and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations reflect the accounts of the
Nations Tax Exempt Fund and the Pilot Short-Term Tax-Exempt Diversified Fund for
the twelve month period ended September 30, 1996. These statements have been
derived from books and records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at
September 30, 1996.
The pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of the Pilot Short-Term Tax-Exempt Diversified Fund in
exchange for shares of Nations Tax Exempt Fund. Under generally accepted
accounting principles, the historical cost of investment securities will be
carried forward to the surviving entity and the results of operations of the
Pilot Short-Term Tax-Exempt Diversified Fund for pre-combination periods will
not be restated. The pro forma statements do not reflect the expenses of either
fund in carrying out its obligations under the proposed Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization.
The Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets and
Liabilities and the Statement of Operations should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements of the funds incorporated by reference in
the Statement of Additional Information.

Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the twelve month period ended September 30, 1996, the Nations Tax Exempt
Fund's investment advisory fee was computed based on the annual rate of 0.40% of
average daily net assets. The administration fee was computed based on the
annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Trust and the investment
portfolios of Nations Fund, Inc. and Nations Fund Portfolios, Inc. (two other
registered open-end investment companies that are part of the Nations Fund
Family) on a combined basis.
The Trust has adopted a shareholder servicing plan for the Primary B Shares
("Primary B Servicing Plan"), Investor A Shares ("Investor A Servicing Plan"),
Investor B Shares ("Investor B Servicing Plan"), Investor C Shares ("Investor C
Servicing Plan") and Investor D Shares ("Investor D Servicing Plan") of Nations
Tax Exempt Fund. Under the Primary B Servicing Plan, Investor A Servicing Plan,
Investor B Servicing Plan, Investor C Servicing Plan and Investor D Servicing
Plan, aggregate payments may not exceed 0.25%, 0.25%, 0.20%, 0.15% and 0.25%, on
an annualized basis, of the average daily net assets of the Primary B Shares,
Investor A Shares, Investor B Shares, Investor C Shares and Investor D Shares,
respectively, of the Fund.
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan ("Investor D Distribution Plan")
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Investor D Shares of the

1. Basis of Combination
Nations Fund Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment
company. As of September 30, 1996 the Trust offers thirty-two separate
portfolios. The unaudited Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and
Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations reflect the
accounts of the Nations Value Fund and the Pilot Growth and Income Fund for the
twelve month period ended September 30, 1996. These statements have been derived
from books and records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at
September 30, 1996.
The pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of the Pilot Growth and Income Fund in exchange for shares of
the Nations Value Fund. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the
historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the
surviving entity and the results of operations of the Pilot Growth and Income
Fund for pre-combination periods will not be restated. The pro forma statements
do not reflect the expenses of either fund in carrying out its obligations under
the proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.
The Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets and
Liabilities and the Statement of Operations should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements of the funds incorporated by reference in
the Statement of Additional Information.
For the twelve month period ended September 30, 1996, the Nations Value Fund's
investment advisory fee was computed based on the annual rate of 0.75% of
average daily net assets. The administration fee was computed based on the
annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Trust and the investment
portfolios of Nations Fund, Inc. and Nations Fund Portfolios,

Inc. (two other registered open-end investment companies that are part of the
Nations Fund Family) on a combined basis.
The Trust has adopted a shareholder administration plan ("Administration Plan")
for the Primary B Shares of the Nations Value Fund. Under the Administration
Plan, aggregate payments may not exceed 0.50%, on an annualized basis, of the
average daily net assets of the Fund's Primary B Shares.
The Trust has also adopted a shareholder servicing and distribution plan
("Investor A Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Investor A
Shares of the Nations Value Fund. Under the Investor A Plan, aggregate payments
may not exceed 0.25%, on an annualized basis, of the average daily net assets of
the Fund's Investor A Shares.
The Trust has also adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
1940 Act with respect to Investor C Shares ("Investor C Distribution Plan") and
Investor N Shares ("Investor N Distribution Plan") of the Nations Value Fund.
Under the Investor C Distribution Plan and Investor N Distribution Plan,
aggregate payments may not exceed 0.25% and 0.50%, on an annualized basis, of
the average daily net assets of the Investor C Shares and Investor N Shares,
respectively, of the Fund.
The Trust has also adopted a shareholder servicing plan with respect to Investor
C Shares ("Investor C Servicing Plan") and Investor N Shares ("Investor N
Servicing Plan") of the Nations Value Fund. Under the Investor C Servicing Plan
and Investor N Servicing Plan, aggregate payments may not exceed 0.25%, on an
annualized basis, of the average daily net assets of the Investor C Shares and
Investor N Shares of the Fund.

2. Portfolio Valuation
Securities of Nations Value Fund which are traded on a recognized stock exchange
are valued at the last sale price on the securities exchange on which such
securities are primarily traded or at the last sale price on the national
securities market. Securities traded only on over-the-counter markets are valued
on the basis of the closing over-the-counter bid prices or, if no sale occurred
on such day, at the mean of the current bid and asked prices. Certain securities
may be valued by one or more principal market makers. Restricted securities, if
any, securities for which market quotations are not readily available and other
assets are valued at fair market value under the supervision of the Board of
Trustees. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost. Pilot Growth and Income Fund uses similar rules for determining
portfolio valuation.
3. Capital Shares
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional
shares of Nations Value Fund which would have been issued at September 30, 1996
in connection with the proposed reorganization. The pro forma number of shares
outstanding of 85,272,875 consists of 11,477,371 shares assumed issued in the
reorganization plus 73,795,504 shares of Nations Value Fund at September 30,
1996.

1. Basis of Combination
Nations Fund Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment
company. As of December 31, 1996 the Trust offers thirty-three separate
portfolios. The unaudited Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and
Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations reflect the
accounts of the Nations Disciplined Equity Fund and the Pilot Growth Fund for
the twelve month period ended December 31, 1996. These statements have been
derived from books and records utilized in calculating daily net asset value at
December 31, 1996.
The pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of the Pilot Growth Fund in exchange for shares of the
Nations Disciplined Equity Fund. Under generally accepted accounting principles,
the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the
surviving entity and the results of operations of the Pilot Growth Fund for pre-
combination periods will not be restated. The pro forma statements do not
reflect the expenses of either fund in carrying out its obligations under the
proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.
The Pro Forma Combining Portfolio of Investments and Statement of Assets and
Liabilities and the Statement of Operations should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements of the funds incorporated by reference in
the Statement of Additional Information.
For the twelve month period ended December 31, 1996, the Nations Disciplined
Equity Fund's investment advisory fee was computed based on the annual rate of
0.75% of average daily net assets. The administration fee was computed based on
the annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net

NATIONS DISCIPLINED EQUITY FUND
Pilot Growth Fund
Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements (Unaudited)
assets of the Trust and the investment portfolios of Nations Fund, Inc. And
Nations Fund Portfolios, Inc. (two other registered open-end investment
companies that are part of the Nations Fund Family) on a combined basis.
The Trust has adopted a shareholder administration plan ("Administration Plan")
for the Primary B Shares of the Nations Disciplined Equity Fund. Under the
Administration Plan, aggregate payments may not exceed 0.50%, on an annualized
basis, of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Primary B Shares.
The Trust has also adopted a shareholder servicing and distribution plan
("Investor A Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Investor A
Shares of the Nations Disciplined Equity Fund. Under the Investor A Plan,
aggregate payments may not exceed 0.25%, on an annualized basis, of the average
daily net assets of the Fund's Investor A Shares.
The Trust has also adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
1940 Act with respect to Investor C Shares ("Investor C Distribution Plan") and
Investor N Shares ("Investor N Distribution Plan") of the Nations Disciplined
Equity Fund. Under the Investor C Distribution Plan and Investor N Distribution
Plan, aggregate payments may not exceed 0.25% and 0.75%, on an annualized basis,
of the average daily net assets of the Investor C Shares and Investor N Shares,
respectively, of the Fund.
The Trust has also adopted a shareholder servicing plan with respect to Investor
C Shares ("Investor C Servicing Plan") and Investor N Shares ("Investor N
Servicing Plan") of the Nations Disciplined Equity Fund. Under the Investor C
Servicing Plan and Investor N Servicing Plan, aggregate payments may not exceed
0.25%, on an annualized basis, of the average daily net assets of the Investor C
Shares and Investor N Shares of the Fund.

2. Portfolio Valuation
Securities of Nations Disciplined Equity Fund which are traded on a recognized
stock exchange are valued at the last sale price on the securities exchange on
which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sale price on the
national securities market. Securities traded only on over-the-counter markets
are valued on the basis of the closing over-the-counter bid prices or, if no
sale occurred on such day, at the mean of the current bid and asked prices.
Certain securities may be valued by one or more principal market makers.
Restricted securities, if any, securities for which market quotations are not
readily available and other assets are valued at fair market value under the
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Shore-term investments that mature in 60
days or less are valued at amortized cost. Pilot Growth Fund uses similar rules
for determining portfolio valuation.
3. Capital Shares
The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of additional
shares of Nations Disciplined Equity Fund which would have been issued at
December 31, 1996 in connection with the proposed reorganization. The pro forma
number of shares outstanding of 10,227,012 consists of 2,722,016 shares assumed
issued in the reorganizing plus 7,504,996 shares of Nations Disciplined Equity
Fund at December 31, 1996.

indemnify and hold harmless the Trust against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, to which the Trust may become subject, under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") and the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in any Prospectuses, any Preliminary Prospectuses,
the Registration Statements, any other Prospectuses relating to the securities,
or any amendments or supplements to the foregoing (hereinafter referred to
collectively as the "Offering Documents"), or arise out of or are based upon the
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Offering Documents in
reliance

upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Primary By the
Company and/or Portfolios expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the
Trust for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Trust in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim; provided,
however, that the Company and/or Portfolios shall not be liable in any such case
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or
is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in the Offering Documents in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company and/or Portfolios
by the Trust expressly for use in the Offering Documents.
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party above of notice of
the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such
subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement
thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve
it from any liability which it may have to
any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such
action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and,
after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be
liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of
other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation.
Registrant has obtained from a major insurance carrier a
directors' and officers' liability policy covering certain types of errors and
omissions. In no event will Registrant indemnify any of its trustees, officers,
employees, or agents against any liability to which such person would otherwise
be subject by reason of his/her willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence
in the performance of his/her duties, or by reason of his reckless disregard of
the duties involved in the conduct of his/her office or arising under his/her
agreement with Registrant. Registrant will comply with Rule 484 under the
Securities Act of 1933 and Release No. 11330 under the 1940 Act, as amended, in
connection with any indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to trustees, officers, and
controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant
of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer, or controlling person of
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is
asserted by such trustee, officer, or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Re: Units of Beneficial Interest of Nations Fund Trust
Ladies/Gentlemen:
We refer to the Registration Statement on Form N-14 (the "Registration
Statement") of Nations Fund Trust (the "Trust") relating to the registration of
an indefinite number of units of beneficial interest (the "Shares"), of certain
Funds of the Trust (the "Funds").
We have been requested by the Trust to furnish this opinion as Exhibit 11 to the
Registration Statement.
We have examined documents relating to the organization of the Trust and the
authorization and issuance of the Shares. We have also made such inquiries of
the Trust and examined such questions of law as we have deemed necessary for the
purpose of rendering the opinion set forth herein. We have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all items submitted to us
as originals and the conformity with originals of all items submitted to us as
copies.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
The issuance of the Shares by the Trust has been duly and validly authorized by
all appropriate action and, assuming delivery in accordance with the description
set forth in the Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement included in the
Registration Statement, the Shares will be legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable by the Trust.

Nations Fund Trust
111 Center Street
Little Rock, AR 72201
Re: Issuance and Sale of Shares of Beneficial Interest
of Nations Fund Trust; Registration on Form N-1A
Pursuant to Rule 24f-2
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Nations Fund Trust (the "Trust") has requested our opinion in
connection with the sale or issuance by the Trust of 1,539,238,253 shares of
beneficial interest (the "Shares"), in the aggregate, of all classes of Shares
of all portfolios of the Trust (collectively, the "Funds").
We have examined documents relating to the organization of the
Trust and the authorization for registration and sale of Shares of each of the
Funds. The opinion given below only relates to the law of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, the laws under which the Trust was organized, and is subject to
the condition that the Trust is in compliance with the provisions of any
applicable laws, regulations and permits of any state or foreign country in
which any Shares of any of the Funds are sold.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that:
The issuance and sale of the Shares by the Trust have been duly
and validly authorized by all appropriate action and, assuming delivery by sale
or in accord with the Funds' dividend reinvestment plan was in accordance with
the description set forth in the Trust's current prospectuses under the
Securities Act of 1933, the Shares have been legally issued, fully paid and are
non-assessable.
We consent to the submission of a copy of this opinion to the
Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the filing of the Trust's
Rule 24f-2 Notice, as amended, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
Very truly yours,
