Message
                           Dear Shareholder:

                           We'd like to thank you for being a part of the
                           Nations Funds family. Your continued trust and
                           confidence are greatly appreciated. Many noteworthy
                           events have taken place during the past year. Let's
                           take a look.

                           A ROLLER-COASTER-RIDE OF A YEAR

                           We know the past 12 months have proved to be quite an
                           unsettling time for investors. You've seen major
                           market indexes reach all-time highs, even after the
                           significant market volatility of late summer-early
                           fall 1998. Much of the volatility was attributed to
                           financial crises in Brazil and Russia, the continuing
                           malaise in Asia, as well as a slowdown in U.S.
                           corporate earnings growth. However, the Federal
                           Reserve Board came to the rescue in late September
                           with the first of three successive cuts in interest
                           rates. By year-end, investors were feeling confident
                           once again and many stocks had soared, moving the Dow
                           Jones Industrial Average closer to the 10,000
                           milestone.*

                           While some stock indexes had another impressive year
                           of double-digit performance -- the Standard & Poor's
                           500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500)** of
                           large-company stocks was up 18.46% for the 12 months
                           ending March 31, 1999 -- focusing on these particular
                           indexes doesn't give you the complete picture. For
                           example, during the same 12-month period, the
                           Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index*** posted a gain
                           of only 0.43% and the Russell 2000 Index(+) of
                           small-company stocks actually posted negative
                           performance of -16.20%. There was even divergence
                           among the stocks in the S&P 500, with the performance
                           of the 25 largest stocks accounting for approximately
                           70% of the Index's return.

                           THE VALUE OF ADVICE

                           Diversification, along with a long-term perspective,
                           are among the best tools for investors to weather
                           changing markets and create a balanced investment
                           portfolio. That's where the value of professional
                           financial advice comes in. The role of a good
                           financial adviser, especially during volatile times,
                           is to help you make smart investment decisions that
                           help you pursue your long-term goals. During last

                           market size, liquidity and industry
                           representation. It is unmanaged and unavailable for
                           investment.

                           the markets, many mutual fund shareholders who
                           invested through a financial adviser remained calm
                           and ignored short-term corrections.

                           Today, these same investors are probably glad they
                           did, as the markets continue their generally upward
                           trend. Of course, history tells us that these trends
                           do not continue indefinitely, and our belief is that
                           the best way to weather changing market conditions is
                           by working with a professional financial adviser.

                           YOUR MANAGERS OF DISTINCTION(SM)

                           Financial advisers are there to guide and assist you,
                           but it also helps to invest with a company that has
                           experienced fund managers who have weathered various
                           market cycles over time. At Nations Funds, we call
                           them our Managers of Distinction(SM).

                           In bringing you the wide range of funds we offer,
                           we've carefully selected a roster of specialized
                           investment management firms. Nations Funds Managers
                           of Distinction(SM) are all seasoned and
                           well-respected investment firms. We are pleased to
                           bring this talent together in one place to offer you
                           a variety of distinct money management styles.

                           And, our fund family should get even better with the
                           completion of our merger with Pacific Horizon
                           Funds -- the largest merger in mutual fund
                           history -- anticipated for May. Together, the new
                           Nations Funds family will be able to offer you an
                           even broader selection of mutual funds.

                           Of course, customer service continues to be of
                           tremendous importance to us and, for the second year
                           in a row, Nations Funds received the Key Honors award
                           for superior customer support from DALBAR, Inc. -- an
                           independent evaluator of customer service in the
                           mutual fund industry. Our commitment is to provide
                           you with the best products and services, and we will
                           seek to continue to do so in the coming year.

                           We are excited about the past year and the
                           opportunities ahead of us. If you have any questions
                           or comments on your annual report, please contact us

Economic
Overview
                           The U.S. economy expanded strongly and the stock
                           market surged for the 12 months ending March 31,
                           1999.

                           Declining interest rates, confident consumers,
                           healthy corporate capital spending and an expanding
                           housing industry all helped propel the economy and
                           fuel a persistent rally in stocks, particularly of
                           large-capitalization companies. It was an
                           event-filled period, punctuated by abrupt changes in
                           investor sentiment and even some signs of a slowing
                           of growth in the middle of the year. Through it all,
                           the nation's Gross Domestic Product (the market value
                           of the goods and services produced) grew. In 1998,
                           the growth rate was an estimated 3.6%, only slightly
                           less than the healthy 3.9% growth rate of 1997.

                           Upon closer examination, the story of the 12-month
                           period actually was a tale of two economies -- a
                           strong consumer economy and a weak industrial sector.
                           Solid employment growth and increased real disposable
                           personal income translated to a high level of
                           consumer confidence. Industries linked closely to
                           consumer behavior -- including autos, housing and
                           retail -- were quite strong. At the same time, a
                           number of factors contributed to weakness on the
                           industrial side of the economy. The economic problems
                           of some of our key trading partners, combined with
                           the strength of the U.S. dollar, led to sluggishness
                           in exports. While the evidence remains mixed, the
                           worst of these problems for industrial industries may
                           be ending. The most recent view of the National
                           Association of Purchasing Managers, for example, is
                           that manufacturing conditions in the U.S. may have
                           bottomed.

                           Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index,
                           averaged 1.5% in 1998, following a 2.3% rise in 1997.
                           Lower food and energy prices, combined with cheaper
                           import prices, contributed significantly to the tame
                           inflation picture. The low inflation rate came
                           despite a low unemployment rate of 5% or less for
                           most of the year. In the past, low unemployment
                           accompanied by growth in money supply has tended to
                           fuel inflation. However, that did not happen last
                           year, as concerns about a worldwide credit crunch,
                           global recession and deflation acted as a brake on
                           inflation. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board moved away
                           from its tight monetary policy stance of early 1998
                           and cut short-term interest rates three successive
                           times in the fall, easing the availability of credit
                           and liquidity. As we entered the second calendar
                           quarter of 1999, economists were debating what the
                           next move of the Federal Reserve Board might be.

                           If the economic story during the period was split
                           into two sections -- consumer and industrial -- the
                           year in the stock market was divided into three
                           periods. For the first seven months, the

                           Investment Associates, Inc.

Economic
Overview continued...

                           market steadily progressed, peaking in July. Then,
                           the market abruptly reversed course, diving in August
                           through early October as international
                           concerns -- starting with the devaluation of the
                           Russian ruble -- overwhelmed relatively benign
                           reports about the U.S. economy. However, the Federal
                           Reserve Board's actions helped restore confidence,
                           and the market went on to new highs in late 1998 and
                           early 1999.

                           The fiscal year also encompassed several different
                           periods for bond market investors. Earlier in the
                           year, investor uneasiness about the possibility of a
                           revival of inflation worried the bond market, and
                           interest rates tended to rise and bond prices slumped
                           going into the summer of 1998. That situation changed
                           dramatically with the Russian economic crisis of
                           April. Fears about a global economic slowdown drove
                           investor dollars toward only the highest quality
                           securities -- principally U.S. Treasuries, and
                           interest rates fell sharply. This period of investor
                           anxiety ended in early October, however, as the
                           Federal Reserve Board's intervention calmed the
                           markets. For the remainder of the fiscal year,
                           corporate and mortgage-backed securities -- with
                           yield spread advantages over U.S.
                           Treasuries -- tended to return to favor.

                           International economic forces continue to send mixed
                           signals. In early 1999, we could see scattered signs
                           of an economic turnaround in Southeast Asia. Japan
                           was beginning to reform its banking system, and
                           investors were waiting to see the impact of an
                           injection of 40 trillion yen into the banking system.
                           Japan suffered through its worst economic performance
                           in 50 years during 1998. The key to its economic
                           rebound will be how quickly the business community,
                           consumers and investors regain confidence. Worth
                           watching will be whether Japan's export industry can
                           grow. Elsewhere, the international scene provided
                           additional signs of progress. The International
                           Monetary Fund (IMF) finally received funding from the
                           U.S. Congress, easing investor concerns. The
                           devaluation of the real -- the Brazilian
                           currency -- seemed to be postponed, but Brazil's
                           government remained under pressure to carry out
                           needed economic reforms.

                           But if U.S. investors found reasons for guarded
                           optimism in some international developments, they
                           also found sources for concern. China appeared unable
                           to meet its ambitious growth targets and Hong Kong's
                           economy remained under pressure. The world continued
                           to watch to see whether China would feel pressure to
                           devalue its currency. Meanwhile, the ability of
                           Russia to pay its bills remained in doubt and the
                           Russian domestic political situation raised questions
                           as Foreign Minister Primakov took over day-to-day
                           decision-making from an ailing Boris Yeltsin.

                           Our outlook for 1999 calls for a possible slowing,
                           but not reversal, of the domestic economic expansion.
                           In light of reports of a slowdown

                           in employment growth, a reduction in capital spending
                           and continued sluggishness in international trade, we
                           think economic expansion may have peaked. However, we
                           still see room for continued growth in 1999 at lower
                           levels than in 1998, perhaps at a rate of between 3%
                           and 3.5%.

                           Viewing the domestic stock market in early 1999, the
                           big question is whether the third quarter of 1998
                           represented a bottom for earnings and for stock
                           prices. Given expectations of a slowing of U.S.
                           economic growth and continued sluggishness in the
                           global economy, investors are concerned about
                           corporate earnings expectations for 1999. However, we
                           do not think the most recent stock market levels
                           reflected these investor concerns.

                           In the bond market, we see the potential of a more
                           stable interest rate climate over the next several
                           months, with the possibility of less dramatic changes
                           in investor sentiment than we saw over the past 12
                           months.

                           We believe the direction of the markets will depend
                           greatly on the economy's ability to continue to move
                           forward at a controlled pace.

Municipal
Bond Market
Overview
                           The municipal bond market performed quite well during
                           the 12-month period ended March 31, 1999. Its
                           performance, however, lagged that of the U.S.
                           Treasury market, which benefited from the advantage
                           of a larger market of potential buyers to fuel
                           demand. During a period in which many investors,
                           including foreign investors, were concerned about the
                           impact of global economic environment, the U.S.
                           Treasury market showed extremely strong performance.
                           As a general rule, bond prices tend to rise as
                           interest rates fall, and the past year was a period
                           of falling rates and rising prices. To illustrate,
                           the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury Bond fell by
                           .44% during the year, from 5.65% to 5.21%, while the
                           yield on a comparable-maturity AAA-rated municipal
                           bond fell by .25%, from 4.55% to 4.30%.

                           During this 12-month period, the municipal bond
                           market experienced a heavy influx of new bonds, which
                           increased supply and limited the decline in municipal
                           bond yields. In an environment of low absolute
                           interest rates and a strong economy, many
                           municipalities and other public agencies enjoyed
                           improving fiscal health and issued new bonds either
                           to refinance older debt or to fund new public
                           construction projects. While supply increased, demand
                           for municipal bonds did not increase proportionately.
                           The demand for tax-exempt bonds is concentrated among
                           those seeking exemptions from federal, and sometimes
                           state and local, income taxes, and this ceiling on
                           demand serves as a brake on performance.* One of the
                           results of this phenomenon, however, was that on an
                           after-tax basis, municipal bonds offered extremely
                           attractive income for investors in virtually all tax
                           brackets.

                           We believe that the issuance of insurance on new
                           municipal bonds may have reached its peak in the past
                           12 months. Approximately 50% of all new issues now
                           carry bond insurance -- the highest level ever.
                           However, bond-rating agencies have begun to advise
                           municipal bond insurers that the automatic
                           AAA-ratings that the insurance has provided could be
                           at risk. The rating agencies said they are concerned
                           about potential slippage in underwriting standards.
                           These warnings could result in a re-emphasis on
                           credit risk in the market, which in our view, would
                           be a positive development for all the market's
                           participants.

                                         WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET IN THE COMING
                                         YEAR?
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have

                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         state and local government finances, and demand for
                                         tax-exempt income appears to be firm. We continue to have
                                         concerns about the electric utility industry as deregulation
                                         moves forward and segments of the health-care industry as
                                         recent changes in federal reimbursement policy are embraced.
                                         The Y2K bug may also have a temporary negative impact on
                                         valuations, as smaller issuers with less financial resources
                                         deal with heightened technological needs. Longer term, these
                                         investments in technology should be positive. While a
                                         changing political environment is not a new phenomenon for
                                         this market, it always seems to produce levels of investor
                                         anxiety that can provide great opportunities.

THE PERFORMANCE SHOWN REPRESENTS PAST PERFORMANCE AND IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF
FUTURE RESULTS. A MUTUAL FUND'S SHARE PRICE AND INVESTMENT RETURN WILL VARY WITH
MARKET CONDITIONS, AND THE PRINCIPAL VALUE OF SHARES, WHEN REDEEMED, MAY BE
WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN THEIR ORIGINAL COST. Average annual returns are
historical in nature and measure net investment income and capital gain or loss
from portfolio investments assuming reinvestment of dividends.

*Figures at maximum offering price (MOP) reflect the maximum front-end sales
charge of 3.25%.

**Figures at net asset value (NAV) do not reflect any sales charges. Investor A
Shares are available with a reduced or waived sales charge only under certain
circumstances as described in the prospectus.

***Figures at CDSC reflect the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales
charge.

The performance shown includes the effect of fee waivers by the investment
adviser and the administrator, which have the effect of increasing total return.

                                         WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR FLORIDA AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET IN
                                         THE COMING YEAR?
                                         As a state with no income tax, Florida is dependent on sales
                                         taxes for 70% of general state fund operations. To offset
                                         its reliance on sales taxes, the state enacted a
                                         constitutional amendment establishing a budget stabilization
                                         fund that should reach $785 million by the end of 1999.
                                         Additionally, Florida's lawsuit against the tobacco
                                         companies, seeking compensation for the cost of medical care
                                         incurred by the state for the treatment of smoking related
                                         illnesses, could result in $11.3 billion in revenue to the
                                         state over the next 25 years. Governor Bush recently
                                         introduced legislation that seeks to repeal the Florida
                                         intangibles tax. This legislation could have a negative
                                         impact on the price of municipal securities within the
                                         state. However, given Florida's financial strength and the
                                         high demand for Florida bonds, the impact on municipal
                                         securities should be marginal. The budget stabilization
                                         fund, combined with growth in sales tax collections, are
                                         just two of the positive factors contributing to Florida's
                                         financial strength.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         underperformed due to its higher weighting in uninsured

                                         WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR FLORIDA AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET IN
                                         THE COMING YEAR?
                                         As a state with no income tax, Florida is dependent on sales
                                         taxes for 70% of general fund operations. To offset its
                                         reliance on sales taxes, the state enacted a constitutional
                                         amendment establishing a budget stabilization fund that
                                         should reach $785 million by the end of 1999.
                                         Additionally, Florida's lawsuit against the tobacco
                                         companies, seeking compensation for the cost of medical care
                                         incurred by the state for the treatment of smoking related
                                         illnesses, could result in $11.3 billion in revenue to the
                                         state over the next 25 years. Governor Bush recently
                                         introduced legislation that seeks to repeal the Florida
                                         intangibles tax. This legislation could have a negative
                                         impact on the price of municipal securities within the
                                         state. However, given Florida's financial strength and the
                                         high demand for Florida bonds, the impact on municipal
                                         securities should be marginal. The budget stabilization
                                         fund, combined with growth in sales tax collections, are
                                         just two of the positive factors contributing to Florida's
                                         financial strength.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         Debt service is approximately 5% of treasury receipts with a
                                         constitutional limit of 10%. Georgia's fiscal strength and
                                         foresight has been rewarded with an 'Aaa' rating from
                                         Moody's Investors Service, Inc., an 'AAA' from Standard &
                                         Poor's Corporation and an 'AAA' rating from Fitch IBCA, Inc.
                                         As the textile industry in Georgia continues to contract due
                                         to low cost products from overseas, growth in services and
                                         retail trade have had an offsetting effect. Services and
                                         retail trade have accounted for 80% of the jobs created
                                         since 1990. Tax revenue growth for fiscal year 1998 was
                                         5.4%, after a reduction of $500 million following the
                                         elimination of the sales tax on food, and is projected to
                                         grow by 6.8% for 1999.
                                         WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR GEORGIA AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET IN
                                         THE COMING YEAR?
                                         In Georgia, wage inflation has become a concern as more and
                                         more firms, fighting for a declining number of qualified
                                         employees, choose to call Georgia home. As of July 1998,
                                         Georgia's unemployment rate stood at just 4.4%. Increasing
                                         demand for schools, highways and essential services are just
                                         some of the challenges facing Georgia as job creation has
                                         led to increases in urban center populations.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         foresight has been rewarded with an 'Aaa' rating from
                                         Moody's Investors Service, Inc., an 'AAA' from Standard &

                                         As the textile industry in Georgia continues to contract due
                                         to low cost products from overseas, growth in services and
                                         retail trade have had an offsetting effect. Services and
                                         retail trade have accounted for 80% of the jobs created
                                         since 1990. Tax revenue growth for fiscal 1998 was 5.4%,
                                         after a reduction of $500 million following the elimination
                                         of the sales tax on food, and is projected to grow by 6.8%
                                         for 1999.

                                         WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR GEORGIA AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET IN
                                         THE COMING YEAR?
                                         In Georgia, wage inflation has become a concern as more and
                                         more firms, fighting for a declining number of qualified
                                         employees, choose to call Georgia home. As of July 1998,
                                         Georgia's unemployment rate stood at just 4.4%. Increasing
                                         demand for schools, highways and essential services are just
                                         some of the challenges facing Georgia, as job creation has
                                         led to increases in urban center populations.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         legislature in 1997, which should reduce revenues by about
                                         $306 million in fiscal 1999, Maryland has been able to
                                         maintain its 'Aaa' rating from Moody's Investors Service,
                                         Inc., 'AAA' from Standard & Poor's Corporation and 'AAA'
                                         from Fitch IBCA, Inc. Conservative budgeting, flexible
                                         financial management and strict oversight of general
                                         obligation debt led to a budget surplus of $536 million in
                                         fiscal 1998. An increase in income tax revenue of 10% over
                                         fiscal 1997, due in large part to capital gains resulting
                                         from the stock market's strength, is responsible for much of
                                         the surplus. Maryland's moderately high debt burden is
                                         carefully controlled due to a constitutional provision for
                                         rapid amortization of outstanding tax supported debt.
                                         WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR MARYLAND AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET
                                         IN THE COMING YEAR?
                                         Maryland's challenge comes in the years beyond 2001 when the
                                         1997 income tax cut is conservatively forecasted to result
                                         in small budget deficits. Maryland will have to continue to
                                         exhibit fiscal restraint if it is to maintain its strong
                                         financial performance.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         of income as some of its peers. This, coupled with a
                                         declining credit situation, caused the Fund to modestly

                                         United States. Despite the 10% income tax reduction passed
                                         by the legislature in 1997, which should reduce revenues by
                                         about $306 million in fiscal 1999, Maryland has been able to
                                         maintain its 'Aaa' rating from Moody's Investors Service,
                                         Inc., 'AAA' from Standard & Poor's Corporation and 'AAA'
                                         from Fitch IBCA, Inc. Conservative budgeting, flexible
                                         financial management and strict oversight of general
                                         obligation debt led to a budget surplus of $536 million in
                                         fiscal 1998. An increase in income tax revenue of 10% over
                                         fiscal 1997, due in large part to capital gains resulting
                                         from the stock market's strength, is responsible for much of
                                         the surplus. Maryland's moderately high debt burden is
                                         carefully controlled due to a constitutional provision for
                                         rapid amortization of outstanding tax supported debt.
                                         WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR MARYLAND AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET
                                         IN THE COMING YEAR?
                                         Maryland's challenge comes in the years beyond 2001 when the
                                         1997 income tax cut is conservatively forecasted to result
                                         in small budget deficits. Maryland will have to continue to
                                         exhibit fiscal restraint if it is to maintain its strong
                                         financial performance.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         involving the taxation of retirement benefits of former
                                         state, federal and local employees. The $799 million
                                         settlement will have a negative impact on the state's budget
                                         over the next two years but should not constrain the state's
                                         financial flexibility. With the unemployment rate down to
                                         3.3%, North Carolina's labor market remains tight and this
                                         has not gone unnoticed by businesses seeking to enter the
                                         state. However, North Carolina is still an attractive
                                         relocation option as the state remains the banking center of
                                         the south and is home to several prestigious universities.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         MARKET IN THE COMING YEAR?
                                         North Carolina recently agreed to settle several cases
                                         involving the taxation of retirement benefits of former
                                         state, federal and local employees. The $799 million
                                         settlement will have a negative impact on the state's budget
                                         over the next two years but should not constrain the state's
                                         financial flexibility. With the unemployment rate down to
                                         3.3%, North Carolina's labor market remains tight and this
                                         has not gone unnoticed by businesses seeking to enter the
                                         state. However, North Carolina is still an attractive
                                         relocation option as the state remains the banking center of
                                         the south and is home to several prestigious universities.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         levels and provided a much needed infusion of new jobs.

                                         WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE MUNICIPAL
                                         MARKET IN THE COMING YEAR?
                                         As production in South Carolina's textile industry declines
                                         due to low cost products from overseas, growth in tourism
                                         and service related jobs has helped to fill the void left by
                                         a contracting textile industry. However, more than most
                                         states, South Carolina is still tied to the cyclical nature
                                         of the broader United States economy.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         South Carolina has benefited from a very low debt burden,
                                         rising income levels and an increasingly diverse economy.
                                         This has led to South Carolina receiving the highest credit

                                         IBCA, Inc. In 1998, South Carolina was ranked the third
                                         fastest growing state when ranked by growth in personal
                                         income. Income levels have been bolstered by a tight labor
                                         market where 70,000 new jobs were created in 1998, bringing
                                         the unemployment rate down to 3.5%. South Carolina's net tax
                                         supported debt stands at roughly $1.2 billion, or $323 per
                                         capita, with the median for all states at $505. General fund
                                         revenue collections increased by 5.7%, exceeding
                                         expenditures for the first time since 1995. The expansion of
                                         manufacturing, specifically autos and related parts,
                                         improved South Carolina's low but rising income levels and
                                         provided a much needed infusion of new jobs.

                                         WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE MUNICIPAL
                                         MARKET IN THE COMING YEAR?
                                         As production in South Carolina's textile industry declines
                                         due to low cost products from overseas, growth in tourism
                                         and service related jobs has helped to fill the void left by
                                         a contracting textile industry. However, more than most
                                         states, South Carolina is still tied to the cyclical nature
                                         of the broader United States economy.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         offset losses in the textile industry, has slowed to 1.5%
                                         after gaining nearly 5% in 1997.
                                         WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR TENNESSEE AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET
                                         IN THE COMING YEAR?
                                         As with other southeastern states, Tennessee's growth has
                                         been restrained by a shortage of qualified workers and the
                                         contraction of the textile industry. This has resulted in
                                         growth numbers that are less than half the national rate.
                                         Despite the decline in growth, Tennessee still managed to
                                         grow tax collections for fiscal 1998 by 6%. In 1999, 10% of
                                         the annual growth in state tax revenues will be allocated to
                                         the state's undesignated reserve account. Despite a slowdown
                                         in economic growth, Tennessee remains attractive as a
                                         pro-business state with a low cost of living, affordable
                                         housing and conservative financial management.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         Tennessee's conservative policies have resulted in a very
                                         low debt per capita of $203 versus the national median of
                                         $505. Growth in the services industry, which helped to
                                         offset losses in the textile industry, has slowed to 1.5%
                                         after gaining nearly 5% in 1997.
                                         WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR TENNESSEE AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET
                                         IN THE COMING YEAR?
                                         As with other southeastern states, Tennessee's growth has
                                         been restrained by a shortage of qualified workers and the
                                         contraction of the textile industry. This has resulted in
                                         growth numbers that are less than half the national rate.
                                         Despite the decline in growth, Tennessee still managed to
                                         grow tax collections for fiscal 1998 by 6%. In 1999, 10% of
                                         the annual growth in state tax revenues will be allocated to
                                         the state's undesignated reserve account. Despite a slowdown
                                         in economic growth, Tennessee remains attractive as a
                                         pro-business state with a low cost of living, affordable
                                         housing and conservative financial management.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         medical care incurred by the state for the treatment of
                                         smoking related illnesses, could result in $14.5 billion in
                                         revenue to the state over the next 25 years.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         debt levels and a very strong and diverse economy, Texas has
                                         been able to maintain its 'Aa2' rating from Moody's
                                         Investors Service, Inc., 'AA' from Standard & Poor's
                                         Corporation and 'AA+' from Fitch IBCA, Inc. As unemployment
                                         in Texas has fallen below 5% for the first time in the
                                         1990's, wage inflation remains in check as the state's
                                         income levels still remain at 91% of the national average.
                                         Texas's debt burden remains below the national average at
                                         $300 per capita with the majority of outstanding debt
                                         self-supporting.
                                         WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR TEXAS AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET IN
                                         THE COMING YEAR?
                                         Last year, sales tax revenue accounted for 28% of total
                                         revenue. This proportion should continue to increase
                                         marginally as Texas continues to have one of the strongest
                                         economies in the United States. Texas's lawsuit against the
                                         tobacco companies, seeking compensation for the cost of
                                         medical care incurred by the state for the treatment of
                                         smoking related illnesses, could result in $14.5 billion in
                                         revenue to the state over the next 25 years.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         ('AAA') by having a conservative fiscal plan, above-average
                                         per capita income and strong growth in service sector jobs.
                                         Virginia's level of general obligation debt has grown as the
                                         state has increased its commitment to investment in highways
                                         and universities. Virginia's debt per capita, presently at
                                         $556, is just slightly ahead of the national average of
                                         $505. Personal income levels have declined slightly, but are
                                         still 103% of the national average. The services sector now
                                         accounts for over 29% of non-farm employment, filling the
                                         void left by a decrease in federal employment. A large
                                         percentage of government jobs results in the state deriving
                                         22% of its earnings from the government.
                                         WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR VIRGINIA AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET
                                         IN THE COMING YEAR?
                                         In Virginia, a major challenge for the future will be
                                         contending with the loss of revenue attributed to the
                                         Governor's planned elimination of the tax on automobiles
                                         within the state. The phase in period for the elimination is
                                         five years. Full funding will be reached in 2002, with the
                                         cost estimated to be $1 billion.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

                                         ('AAA') by having a conservative fiscal plan, above-average
                                         per capita income and strong growth in service sector jobs.
                                         Virginia's level of general obligation debt has grown as the
                                         state has increased its commitment to investment in highways
                                         and universities. Virginia's debt per capita, presently at
                                         $556, is just slightly ahead of the national average of
                                         $505. Personal income levels have declined slightly, but are
                                         still 103% of the national average. The services sector now
                                         accounts for over 29% of non-farm employment, filling the
                                         void left by a decrease in federal employment. A large
                                         percentage of government jobs results in the state deriving
                                         22% of its earnings from the government.
                                         WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR VIRGINIA AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET
                                         IN THE COMING YEAR?
                                         In Virginia, a major challenge for the future will be
                                         contending with the loss of revenue attributed to the
                                         Governor's planned elimination of the tax on automobiles
                                         within the state. The phase in period for the elimination is
                                         five years. Full funding will be reached in 2002, with the
                                         cost estimated to be $1 billion.
                                         We believe the prospects for the municipal bond market in
                                         the coming year are generally positive. New issue supply
                                         should be lighter than last year, strong domestic
                                         fundamentals should support state and local government
                                         finances, and demand for tax-exempt income appears to be
                                         firm. We continue to have concerns about the electric
                                         utility industry as deregulation moves forward and segments
                                         of the health-care industry as recent changes in federal
                                         reimbursement policy are embraced. The Y2K bug may also have
                                         a temporary negative impact on valuations, as smaller
                                         issuers with less financial resources deal with heightened
                                         technological needs. Longer term, these investments in
                                         technology should be positive. While a changing political
                                         environment is not a new phenomenon for this market, it
                                         always seems to produce levels of investor anxiety that can
                                         provide great opportunities.

THE PERFORMANCE SHOWN REPRESENTS PAST PERFORMANCE AND IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF
FUTURE RESULTS. A MUTUAL FUND'S SHARE PRICE AND INVESTMENT RETURN WILL VARY WITH
MARKET CONDITIONS, AND THE PRINCIPAL VALUE OF SHARES, WHEN REDEEMED, MAY BE
WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN THEIR ORIGINAL COST. Average annual returns are
historical in nature and measure net investment income and capital gain or loss
from portfolio investments assuming reinvestment of dividends.

*Figures at maximum offering price (MOP) reflect the maximum front-end sales
charge of 4.75%.

**Figures at net asset value (NAV) do not reflect any sales charges. Investor A
Shares are available with a reduced or waived sales charge only under certain
circumstances as described in the prospectus.

***Figures at CDSC reflect the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales
charge.

The performance shown includes the effect of fee waivers and expense
reimbursements by the investment adviser and the administrator, which have the
effect of increasing total return.

NATIONS FUNDS
   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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. At
March 31, 1999, the Trust offered thirty-eight separate portfolios. These
financial statements pertain only to the municipal bond portfolios of the Trust
(each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). Financial statements for the
other portfolios of the Trust are presented under separate cover. The Funds
currently offer four classes of shares: Primary A Shares, Investor A Shares,
Investor B Shares and Investor C 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 its 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 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, redemption features and credit
ratings on comparable securities. Certain securities may be valued by one or
more principal market makers. Restricted securities, securities for which market
quotations are not readily available, and other assets are valued by the
investment advisor under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term
investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost.

Certain state's municipal obligations may be obligations of issuers that rely in
whole or in part on state specific revenues, real property taxes and revenues
from health care institutions, as appropriate, or obligations secured by
mortgages on real property. Consequently, state law affecting these obligations
and the possible effects on these obligations of economic conditions in such
states must be considered.

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, 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 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 capital gains (including net
short-term capital gains), at least annually after the fiscal year in which the
capital gains were earned, 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.

Certain reclassifications are made to each Fund's capital accounts to reflect
income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss
carryforwards) under Federal income tax regulations. These reclassifications are
due to different book and tax accounting for market discount and organization
costs.

* Amount represents less than $500.

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 shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for Federal income or
excise taxes.

Expenses:  General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Funds based upon
their relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined
by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund or class
of shares are charged to such Fund or class. Expenses not directly attributable
to any class of shares are prorated based on the relative net assets of each
class. The Funds bear all costs in connection with their organization, including
the fees and expenses of registering and qualifying their shares for
distribution under Federal and state securities regulations. All such costs are
being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years from
commencement of operations.

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

The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Investment
Advisory Agreement") with NationsBanc Advisors, Inc. ("NBAI"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of NationsBank, N.A. ("NationsBank"), which in turn is an indirect
wholly-owned banking subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation, a bank holding
company organized as a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which NBAI provides
investment advisory services to the Funds. Under the Investment Advisory
Agreement, NBAI is entitled to receive an advisory fee, calculated daily and

NationsBank, pursuant to which TradeStreet is entitled to receive a fee from
NBAI at the annual rate of 0.07% of each Fund's average daily net assets.

Funds with Stephens. Under the new arrangement, Stephens and NBAI are entitled
to receive a combined fee, computed daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of
0.12% of the average daily net assets of the Funds, in addition to certain out
of pocket expenses. Prior to those dates, First Data Investor Services Group,

as co-administrator. Stephens and First Data were entitled to receive a combined
fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.10% of each Fund's

administrator of the Trust pursuant to an agreement with NBAI, and NBAI ceased
to serve as sub-administrator. For the year ended March 31, 1999, Stephens
earned $1,606,203 from the Funds for its administration services, of which
$373,652 was paid to NBAI for its services.

The investment advisor, sub-advisor and distributor may, from time to time,
voluntarily reduce their fees payable by each Fund. For the year ended March 31,
1999, the investment advisor agreed to voluntarily reimburse expenses and/or
waive its advisory fee to the extent that total expenses (excluding shareholder
servicing and distribution fees), as a percentage of the respective Fund's
average daily net assets, exceeded the following: 0.40% for the Short-Term
Municipal Income Fund, 0.50% for the Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and eight
single-state Intermediate Municipal Bond Funds, and 0.60% for the Municipal
Income Fund and eight single-state Municipal Bond Funds.

Effective October 19, 1998, BNY began serving as the custodian of the Trust's
assets. Previously, NationsBank of Texas, N.A. ("NationsBank of Texas") served
as custodian until May 6, 1998, when it was merged with NationsBank. BNY acted
as sub-custodian to the Funds until that date. For the year ended March 31,
1999, NationsBank of Texas and NationsBank earned $67,081 for providing such
services.

First Data serves as the transfer agent for the Funds' shares. NationsBank of
Texas also served as the sub-transfer agent for the Primary A Shares of the
Funds until it merged with NationsBank on May 6, 1998. NationsBank began serving
as the sub-transfer agent for the Primary A Shares of the Funds on that date and
is providing the same services as were previously provided by NationsBank of
Texas. For the year ended March 31, 1999, NationsBank of Texas and/or
NationsBank earned approximately $88,312 for providing such services.

Stephens serves as distributor of the Funds' shares. For the year ended March
31, 1999, the Funds were informed that the distributor received $6,046,549 in
front end sales charges for sales of Investor A Shares and $383,126 in
contingent deferred sales charges from shares which were subject to such
charges. A substantial portion of these fees is paid to affiliates of
NationsBank.

The Trust pays each unaffiliated Trustee an annual fee of $1,000 ($3,000 for the
Chairman of the Board), 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 also reimburses expenses incurred by each unaffiliated Trustee in
attending such meetings.

The Trust's eligible Trustees 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 Nations Treasury Fund, a portfolio of Nations Fund,
Inc. The expense for the deferred compensation and retirement plans is included
in "Trustees' 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 NationsBank and its affiliates have either sole or
joint investment discretion.

3. SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AND DISTRIBUTION PLANS

The Trust has adopted shareholder servicing plans and distribution plans for the
Investor A, Investor B and Investor C Shares of each 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 under the Investor A
shareholder servicing and distribution plan are limited to 0.25% of Investor A
average daily net assets. Payments under the shareholder servicing plan and
distribution plan, respectively, for both Investor B and Investor C shares are
limited to 0.25% and 0.75% of each respective class's average daily net assets.
Payments are made at an annual rate, as a percentage of average daily net
assets, set from time to time by the Board of Trustees, and are charged as
expenses of each Fund directly to the applicable class.

As of March 31, 1999, an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest
without par value were authorized for the Trust. The Trust's Declaration of
Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to classify or reclassify any authorized,
but unissued shares into one or more additional classes or series of shares. See
Schedule of Capital Stock Activity.

6.  LINE OF CREDIT

The Trust participates 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 the Federal Funds Rate plus
0.50% on an annualized basis. Each participating Fund maintains a ratio of no
less than 4 to 1 of net assets (not including funds borrowed pursuant to the
Agreement) to the aggregate amount of indebtedness pursuant to the Agreement.

At March 31, 1999, there were no loans outstanding under this Agreement. For the

9.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Trust was party to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the Pacific
Horizon Funds, Inc. (a family of mutual funds advised by Bank of America NT&SA,
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation) pursuant to
which the assets and liabilities (net) of the Pacific Horizon National Municipal
Bond Fund of $19,122,605 were acquired in a tax-free reorganization in exchange
for shares of the Nations Municipal Income Fund on May 14, 1999.

Effective May 14, 1999, the maximum contractual levels of advisory and combined
co-administration fees payable by the Funds changed. At that time, the maximum
contractual advisory fee that NBAI is entitled to receive from the Funds
decreased by .10% of the Funds' average daily net assets (except for Short-Term
Municipal Income which decreased by .20%), and the combined co-administration
fee payable to NBAI and Stephens increased by the same amount.

NATIONS FUNDS
   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND TRUSTEES OF NATIONS FUND TRUST

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets (except for bond
ratings), and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets
and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of each of the nineteen municipal bond portfolios that
constitute part of Nations Fund Trust (the "Trust") at March 31, 1999, and the
results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and
the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and financial
highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at March 31, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.
