PRESIDENTS'
MESSAGE
                           DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

                           We're rapidly approaching the end of the year, and
                           the end of the twentieth century. While we all look
                           forward to the beginning of the next century, let's
                           first take a look back at the last six months and
                           then we'll discuss how Nations Funds is positioned as
                           we head into the year 2000.

                           RIDING THE WAVES IN THE U.S.

                           The last six months offered a snapshot of what we
                           often refer to as market volatility. And when we say
                           market volatility, we mean the ups and downs of the
                           U.S. stock market. Basically, what went up in the
                           second quarter of the year fell right back down in
                           the third quarter. During the spring, we witnessed
                           another Dow Jones Industrial Average*
                           milestone -- crossing the 11,000 mark -- and we saw a
                           broadening in the stock market, as value stocks and
                           small-company stocks came back into favor. This was a
                           change from the past few years where rallies have
                           been led by a narrow group of large-company stocks.

                           However, strong economic growth -- combined with
                           continued low inflation and low
                           unemployment -- caused the Federal Reserve Board to
                           raise interest rates twice by a total of 0.50%. These
                           rate hikes (on June 30 and August 24) caused the
                           markets to resemble the rough surf of the Atlantic
                           during one of our many hurricanes this past summer.
                           (In fact, Hurricane Floyd actually shut down Wall
                           Street in mid-September with torrential rains and
                           high winds.) At any rate, the stock market, as
                           represented by the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
                           Stock Price Index (S&P 500)**, finished the third
                           quarter at 5.36% (year-to-date through September 30,
                           1999), 10% off its August high, with the average
                           stock in the S&P 500 off 20% from its high.

                           A BRIGHTER PICTURE OVERSEAS

                           International stock markets performed well in the
                           second quarter and actually outperformed the U.S. for
                           the first time in a number of years. The Morgan
                           Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe,
                           Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index gained 4.4% in
                           the third quarter. A resurgent Japanese economy
                           helped to push international equity markets higher.

                           This is yet another example of the importance of
                           diversification. Investors investing exclusively in
                           the U.S. could miss out on opportunities overseas.
                           One way to ensure that your portfolio is properly
                           diversified is to seek the professional advice of an
                           investment professional. An investment professional
                           can help explain the additional risks involved in
                           international investing, as well as educate you on
                           the potential rewards that have historically come
                           from a diversified portfolio including international
                           investments.

                            * The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a
                              price-weighted index of 30 of the largest, most
                              widely held stocks traded on the New York Stock
                              Exchange. It is unmanaged and unavailable for
                              investment.

                              Index is an unmanaged index of 500 widely held
                              common stocks. It is unavailable for investment.

                           PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

                           STAY THE COURSE

                           While the ride has been bumpy over the last six
                           months, we believe the best course of action for an
                           investor is to stay focused on your long-term goals
                           and remain invested. We understand that Y2K has been
                           on investors' minds for quite some time now. As most
                           Americans have come to realize, substantial efforts
                           have been made by companies in the U.S. and abroad to
                           try to ensure that the Y2K problem will be avoided.
                           Regardless, Y2K will come and go and those investors
                           that stick to their long-term goals, as history has
                           shown, stand a better chance of attaining them.

                           WHAT'S NEW AT NATIONS FUNDS

                           We've made some great strides during the past six
                           months and are poised to make Nations Funds a
                           stronger presence in the mutual fund industry in the
                           new year. We completed the largest merger in mutual
                           fund history on May 21 when we combined Pacific
                           Horizon Funds with Nations Funds. Combining these two
                           entities provides you with more investment choices
                           and a broader range of investment expertise. This is
                           part of our ongoing commitment to providing you with
                           the best products and services, and helping you
                           pursue a lifetime of financial goals.

                           In fact, our selection of mutual funds continued to
                           grow as we introduced Nations Strategic Equity Fund,
                           a large-company stock fund managed for tax
                           efficiency, on August 1. This fund is managed by Bank
                           of America Investment Management -- a Nations Funds
                           Manager of Distinction(SM).

                           We look forward to the opportunities ahead of us in
                           the new year and to making your investment experience
                           with Nations Funds a successful one. Should you have
                           any questions or comments on your semiannual report,
                           please contact your investment professional or call
                           us at 1.800.321.7854. You can also visit us online at
                           www.nations-funds.com.

                           Once again, thank you for being a part of the Nations
                           Funds family.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                      (UNAUDITED)

Nations Fund Trust (the "Trust") and Nations Fund, Inc. (the "Company") are each
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"), as an open-end investment company. At September 30, 1999, the Trust
offered thirty-six separate portfolios and the Company offered seven separate
portfolios. These financial statements pertain only to the money market
portfolios of the Trust and the Company (each a "Fund" and collectively, the
"Funds"). Financial statements for the other portfolios of the Trust and the
Company are presented under separate cover. The Funds currently offer six
classes of shares: Primary A Shares, Primary B Shares, Investor A Shares,
Investor B Shares, Investor C Shares and Daily Shares. The Prime Fund also
offers Marsico Shares. Shareholders of a Fund have equal voting rights on
matters affecting all shareholders of the Fund. In addition, each class of
shares of a Fund has exclusive voting rights on matters that relate solely to
that class and separate voting rights on matters in which the interests of one
class differ from the interests of any other class.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of
their financial statements.

Securities valuation:  Securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost,
which approximates market value. Amortized cost valuation involves initially
valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant
amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, as long as the effect of
fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instrument is not
significant. Restricted securities and certain other assets are valued by the
investment advisor under the supervision of the Board of Trustees/Directors.

Repurchase agreements:  Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement
transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund takes
possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the
seller to repurchase, and the Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon
price and date, thereby determining the yield during the Fund's holding period.
This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market
fluctuations during the Fund's holding period. The value of the collateral is at
least equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations,
including interest. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Fund
has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be a
potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from
exercising its right to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk
of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the
period while the Fund seeks to assert its right. The Funds' investment advisor
and sub-advisor, under the oversight of the Board of Trustees/Directors, monitor
the value of collateral received as well as the creditworthiness of those banks
and dealers with which the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate
potential risks.

Reverse repurchase agreements:  Each Fund may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements with institutions that the Funds' investment advisor and sub-advisor
have determined are creditworthy. Under the terms of a typical reverse
repurchase agreement, the Fund sells securities and agrees to repurchase them at
a mutually agreed upon date and price. At the time the Fund enters into a
reverse repurchase agreement, it establishes a segregated account with its
custodian bank in which it will maintain cash, U.S. Government securities or
other appropriate liquid securities at least equal in value to the Fund's
obligations arising under the reverse repurchase agreement. Reverse repurchase
agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities purchased
with the proceeds from the sale of securities received by the Fund may decline
below the price of the securities that the Fund is obligated to repurchase.
Securities subject to repurchase under reverse repurchase agreements are
designated in the Statements of net assets.

At September 30, 1999, the Treasury Fund had reverse repurchase agreements
outstanding as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                       <C>
Maturity Amount.........................  $268,349,000
Maturity Date...........................    10/01/1999
Market Value of Assets Sold Under
  Agreements............................  $285,685,000
</TABLE>

The average daily balance of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding for the
Treasury Fund during the six months ended September 30, 1999 was $416,942,885.

The proceeds received by the Treasury Fund under the reverse repurchase
agreements were reinvested in a tri-party repurchase agreement. Net fees earned
during the six months ended September 30, 1999, representing the difference
between interest rates on the reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements,
amounted to $211,946 and

NATIONS FUNDS

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)                          (UNAUDITED)

have been included in interest income in the Statements of operations.

Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are
accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are computed based on the
specific identification of securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for
accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums calculated ratably, is
earned from settlement date and recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is
recorded on ex-dividend date. Each Fund's investment income and realized and
unrealized gains and losses are allocated among its classes based upon the
relative net assets of each class of shares.

Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be
settled a month or more after the trade date; interest income is not accrued
until settlement date. At the time a Fund enters into such transactions, it
instructs the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal
to the amount of its when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase commitments.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders:  It is the policy of each Fund to
declare dividends from net investment income daily and to pay such dividends
monthly. Each Fund will distribute net realized short-term capital gains
annually after the fiscal year in which the capital gains were realized or more
frequently to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share, unless offset by
any available capital loss carryforward. Income distributions and capital gain
distributions on a Fund level are determined in accordance with Federal income
tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Federal income tax:  Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated
investment company by complying with the applicable requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and by distributing substantially all of its
earnings to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for Federal income
or excise taxes.

Expenses:  General expenses of the Trust and the Company are allocated to the
Funds based upon their relative net assets or other expense allocation
methodologies determined by the nature of the expense in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. Expenses directly attributable to a
Fund or class of shares are charged to such Fund or class.

Cash flow information:  Cash, as used in the Statement of cash flows, is the
amount reported in the Statements of net assets and represents cash on hand at
custodian banks. The Trust and the Company issue and redeem shares, invest in
securities, and distribute dividends from net investment income and net capital
gains (which are either paid in cash or reinvested at the discretion of
shareholders). These activities are reported in the Statements of changes in net
assets. Information on cash payments is presented in the Statement of cash flows
for the Treasury Fund.

2.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, SUB-ADVISORY FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE AND RELATED
    PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Each of the Trust and the Company has entered into an investment advisory
agreement (the "Investment Advisory Agreements") with Banc of America Advisors,
Inc. ("BAAI") (formerly known as NationsBanc Advisors, Inc.), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank of America") (formerly known as
NationsBank, N.A.), which in turn is a wholly-owned banking subsidiary of Bank
of America Corporation, a bank holding company organized as a Delaware
corporation, pursuant to which BAAI provides investment advisory services to the
Funds. Under the Investment Advisory Agreements, BAAI is currently entitled to
receive an advisory fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, at the maximum
annual rate of 0.20% of each Fund's average daily net assets. Effective May 14,
1999, the maximum advisory fee payable by the Government Money Market and Tax
Exempt Funds decreased by 0.20% from an annual rate of 0.40% of the Funds'
average daily net assets. Effective August 1, 1999, the Prime and Treasury Funds
advisory fee decreased to 0.20% from the prior annual rate of 0.25% of average
daily net assets on combined net assets up to $250 million and 0.20% on combined
net assets exceeding $250 million.

Each of the Trust and the Company has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with
BAAI and TradeStreet Investment Associates, Inc. ("TradeStreet"), a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Bank of America, pursuant to which TradeStreet is entitled
to receive a sub-advisory fee from BAAI at the maximum annual rate of 0.055% of
each Fund's average daily net assets.

Stephens Inc. ("Stephens") and BAAI serve as co-administrators of the Trust and
the Company. Under the co-administration agreements, Stephens and BAAI are
entitled to receive a combined fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the
maximum annual rate of 0.10% of each Fund's average daily net assets. The Bank
of New York ("BNY") serves as sub-administrator of the Trust and the Company
pursuant to an agreement with BAAI.

NATIONS FUNDS

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)                          (UNAUDITED)

For the six months ended September 30, 1999, Stephens and BAAI earned $2,261,106
and $587,240, respectively, from the Funds for their co-administration services.

BAAI and/or the sub-advisor and Stephens may, from time to time, reduce their
fees payable by each Fund. Effective August 1, 1999, BAAI and/or the sub-advisor
and Stephens agreed to reimburse expenses and/or waive their fees until July 31,
2000 to the extent that total expenses (excluding shareholder servicing and
distribution fees) exceed an annual rate of 0.30% of each Fund's average daily
net assets. Prior to that date, BAAI and/or the sub-advisor and Stephens had
voluntarily agreed to reimburse expenses and/or waive their fees to maintain
these total expense limits.

BNY also serves as the custodian of the Trust's and the Company's assets. For
the six months ended September 30, 1999, expenses of the Treasury, Government
Money Market and Prime Fund were reduced by $27,408 under expense offset
arrangements with BNY. The Funds could have invested a portion of the assets
utilized in connection with the expense offset arrangements in an income
producing asset if they had not entered into such arrangements. The Tax Exempt
Fund does not participate in the expense offset arrangement.

First Data Investor Services Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of First
Data Corporation, serves as the transfer agent for the Funds' shares. Bank of
America serves as the sub-transfer agent for the Primary Shares of the Funds.
For the six months ended September 30, 1999, Bank of America earned
approximately $8,230 for providing such services. Stephens also serves as
distributor of the Funds' shares.

Effective July 1, 1999, the Boards of Trustees/Directors of the Trust and the
Company, along with the Boards of Trustees/Directors of the other open-end
registered investment companies in the Nations Funds family, approved a new
compensation structure for the unaffiliated Trustees/Directors. The new
structure compensates the unaffiliated Trustees/Directors for their services to
the open-end registered investment companies in the Nations Funds family as a
whole, rather than to particular registered investment companies, or series or
portfolios thereof. As of September 30, 1999, the open-end registered investment
companies in the Nations Funds family were the Trust, the Company, Nations
Reserves, Nations Annuity Trust, Nations LifeGoal Funds, Inc. and Nations Master
Investment Trust. Under the new structure, each unaffiliated Trustee/Director
receives a base retainer fee in the amount of $65,000 per year, in addition to
$5,000 for each in-person meeting attended and $1,000 for each telephonic
meeting attended. Each unaffiliated Trustee/Director will be compensated only
for a maximum of six in-person meetings per calendar year. The Chairman of the
Boards receives an additional fee of 20% of the base retainer fee and the
Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional fee of 10% of the base
retainer fee. The members of the Nominating Committee receive additional
compensation at the rate of $1,000 per meeting attended. Each unaffiliated
Trustee/Director is also reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending such
meetings.

Prior to July 1, 1999, the Trust and the Company each paid an unaffiliated
Trustee or Director an annual fee of $1,000 ($3,000 for the Chairman of the
Boards), plus $500 per Fund and an additional $1,000 for each in-person board
meeting, and $500 for each telephonic board meeting attended. The Trust and the
Company also reimbursed expenses incurred by each unaffiliated Trustee or
Director in attending such meetings.

The Trust's and the Company's eligible Trustees/ Directors, respectively, may
participate in non-qualified deferred compensation and retirement plans which
may be terminated at any time. All benefits provided under these plans are
unfunded and any payments to plan participants are paid solely out of the Funds'
assets. Income earned on each plan participant's deferral account is tied to the
rate of return of the eligible mutual funds selected by the participants or, if
no funds are selected, to the rate of return of the Treasury Fund. The expense
for the deferred compensation and retirement plans is included in
"Trustees'/Directors' fees and expenses" in the Statements of operations.

A significant portion of each Fund's Primary A Shares represents investments by
fiduciary accounts over which Bank of America has either sole or joint
investment discretion.

3.  SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AND DISTRIBUTION PLANS

The Trust and the Company each have adopted shareholder servicing plans and
distribution plans for the Investor A, Investor B, Investor C and Daily Shares
of each Fund and a shareholder servicing plan for the Primary B Shares of each
Fund and Marsico Shares of the Prime Fund. The shareholder servicing plans
permit the Funds to compensate or reimburse servicing agents for shareholder
services provided by the servicing agents. The distribution plans, adopted
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, permit the Funds to compensate or
reimburse the distributor (and for Investor A Shares, the

distributor and/or selling agents) for activities or expenses primarily intended
to result in the sale of the classes' shares. Payments are made at an annual
rate, as a percentage of average daily net assets set from time to time by the
Boards of Trustees/Directors, and are charged as expenses of each Fund directly
to the applicable class. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant
to these plans is paid to affiliates of Bank of America and BAAI.

At September 30, 1999, the rates in effect and plan limits, as a percentage of
average daily net assets, were as follows:

4.  SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST/CAPITAL STOCK

At September 30, 1999, an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest
without par value were authorized for the Trust and 480,000,000,000 shares of
$.001 par value capital stock were authorized for the Company. The Trust's
Declaration of Trust and the Company's Articles of Incorporation authorize the
Board of Trustees/ Directors to classify or reclassify any authorized, but
unissued shares into one or more additional classes or series of shares. See
Schedules of capital stock activity.

5.  RESTRICTED SECURITIES

Certain securities may be subject to legal restrictions and may be difficult to
sell. No Fund will invest more than 10% of the value of its net assets in
securities that are illiquid.

The following securities are considered both illiquid and restricted as to
resale. Accordingly, they are valued at fair value in good faith by the
investment advisor under the direction of the Board of Trustees/Directors, as
applicable, taking into consideration such factors as the relevant Board deems
appropriate.

6.  LINE OF CREDIT

The Trust and the Company each participate in an uncommitted line of credit
provided by BNY under a line of credit agreement (the "Agreement"). Advances
under the Agreement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes,
including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the
untimely disposition of securities. Interest on borrowings is payable at a
specified Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% on an annualized basis. Each
participating Fund maintains a ratio of no less than 4 to 1 net assets (not
including amounts borrowed pursuant to the Agreement) to aggregate amount of
indebtedness pursuant to the Agreement.

For the six months ended September 30, 1999, there were no borrowings by the
Funds under the Agreement.
