NATIONS FUND, INC.
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
 
We are pleased to present the semiannual report for Nations Fund, Inc. for the
period ended November 30, 1995. During this period of bullish growth across many
financial markets, assets of the Nations Fund family of mutual funds surpassed
the $17 billion level.
 
Overall, 1995 marked a period that many investors will look back upon with great
fondness in the years to come. It offered the potential for investors to enjoy
significant returns in an environment marked by subdued volatility. As we look
forward to the opportunities 1996 presents, it is appropriate to reflect upon
the conclusions that can be drawn from market performance over the past twelve
months.
 
FINANCIAL MARKETS SUMMARY
 
The past year produced ideal market conditions for U.S. financial assets.
Historians might well cite 1995 as the definitive case study of a bull market.
Indeed, four factors coincided to make 1995 memorable. The U.S. economy grew at
a moderate pace. Inflation slowed more than most observers anticipated. Both the
executive and legislative branches of the U.S. government embraced a commitment
to reduce the federal deficit and U.S. corporations continued to produce strong
profitability. As a result, those who owned financial assets enjoyed strong
performance without having this performance eroded or undermined by the threats
of an overheated economy, creeping inflation or unbridled federal spending.
 
How could U.S. corporations produce strong profits without the pricing power of
inflation, the tail wind of economic strength or the catalyst of government
spending? Clearly, productivity and restructuring played an important role as
U.S. companies expanded margins. Moreover, profits earned abroad helped to
expand earnings for many companies. And the technology sector of the economy
played an important role as computers and telecommunications helped reshape many
companies.
 
On the international front, foreign stock markets lagged behind the U.S. equity
bull market. Foreign bond markets, with the exception of Japan, performed in
line with the U.S. bond market, providing double digit returns for bond
investors. A closer look at stock market facts actually show that foreign market
returns for 1995 were in line with their 1994 returns when foreign markets
outperformed the U.S. market by a sizable margin. The generally low correlation
between the U.S. and foreign stock markets continues to provide opportunities
for the portfolio diversification desired by many prudent investors. It is the
primary reason that diversifying overseas has become an important asset
allocation decision today.
 
The year also produced a record number of strategic mergers both domestically
and internationally. In numerous industries, companies forged ties in order to
build long-term profitability. Among others, Banking, Broadcasting, Basic
Industry, Software and Health Care experienced strong deal activity. Unlike
prior merger cycles, most of these deals were not merely the result of financial
engineering.
 
Overall, 1995 was an important reminder regarding the value of long-term
investing. As we entered 1995, investors might have been discouraged by the
meager U.S. returns of the prior year. Moreover, some investors might have been
tempted to take profits early in the year as the U.S. rally unfolded. The
winners in 1995 appear to have been those individuals and institutions with the
patience and vision for the long haul.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
 
Investors can reap significant rewards when long-term investment discipline
intersects with ideal market conditions. This was the story for 1995.
 
But what about 1996? Must a bear market necessarily follow the bull market of
1995? Can interest rates continue to fall (and bond prices rise) and stocks
continue to rally at a torrid pace? We do not think that a strong bull market
necessarily must be followed by a big market sell-off. As long as the financial
environment remains favorable, prices can continue to appreciate. However, we do
not anticipate the pace of appreciation to be nearly as rapid or steady.
 
What about investing overseas? Should we expect a reversal of last year with
foreign stock markets outperforming U.S. stock markets in 1996? Over the long
term, there is a close correlation between real economic growth rates achieved
by a country and the performance of that country's stock market. Many of the
world's fastest growing economies are located in the Pacific Rim and it is here
where we see some of the most exciting opportunities for 1996 and beyond. We
also see opportunities in Japan, the world's largest economy and stock market
outside the United States, as it recovers from its recent problems.
Fundamentally, the fast growing Pacific Rim markets should outperform other
world markets, while the more developed countries will be reacting to the same
investment environment that exists in the United States.
 
While moderate economic conditions, low inflation and fiscal restraint are
likely to persist in 1996, corporate profitability is likely to slow. As a
result, we should not expect to see a market rally that is as broad as 1995, and
we should expect to see periodic corrections in both stocks and bonds. However,
even without strong earnings as an ally, the general market environment should
be positive enough to provide the potential for reasonable returns for investors
in the new year. Of course, it is not possible to predict market activity with
any certainty.
 
Thank you for placing your confidence in Nations Fund. We hope the information
contained in this report proves valuable as you pursue your investment goals.
 
Sincerely,


/s/ A. Max Walker

We are pleased to present the following general investment strategies that
investors may want to consider. Specific investment decisions should always be
based on an analysis of your individual financial goals, tolerance for risk, and
investment timeframe.
 
PREPARE FOR 1996 WITH A
QUICK FINANCIAL REVIEW
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Nineteen hundred ninety-five was an exciting year for investors. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average (DJIA) surged past the 5000 mark, breaking record after
record along the way. The National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotations system (NASDAQ), Standard & Poor's Corporation 500 Composite Stock
Price Index (S&P 500) and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) indices also reached
record levels. During this same period, falling interest rates resulted in a
bond rally, driving bond prices up and bond yields down.
 
DO CHANGES IN MARKET CONDITIONS WARRANT CHANGES IN YOUR
INVESTMENT STRATEGY?
 
Not necessarily. Short-term market performance should mean very little if your
investment goals are long-term in nature. For example, before leaping to take
profits when the stock market reaches new highs, as a long-term investor, you
should always consider why you invested in stocks in the first place.
 
If you're seeking long-term gains, a dramatic shift in your strategy today may
lead to difficult decisions later regarding when to get back into the stock
market -- something that is very difficult to time. That's why most financial
advisers encourage a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to investing. A
proactive approach involves careful planning, goal setting and a long-term
outlook.
 
As you begin to put your financial affairs in order for the new year, consider
the following:
 
HAVE YOUR INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES CHANGED?
 
A new job, retirement, the birth of a child or loss of a loved one are among the
many lifestyle changes that can have a significant impact on your finances.
Perhaps you need to establish a college fund for a child or grandchild. Or, as
you're approaching retirement, you're seeking a more conservative investment
strategy geared toward asset preservation. These are valid reasons to reassess
your investment goals and objectives as well as how your assets are allocated
among the various investment classes.
 
ARE YOUR INVESTMENT ASSETS PROPERLY ALLOCATED?
 
Maintaining a portfolio that is adequately diversified among the primary asset
classes is an important investment principle. In fact, according to an
independent study of 82 pension funds over a 10-year period, over 91% of an
investment portfolio's return is driven by asset allocation.*
 
CAN YOU REDUCE YOUR TAXABLE INCOME?
 
An inheritance, a significant salary increase or relocating to another state can
impact your tax situation. If you need to reduce the amount of your income that
is subject to taxes, consider tax-exempt investments. Investing in municipal
bond funds may be one effective choice because the income you earn on municipal
bond funds is generally exempt from federal income taxes.** Also state-specific
municipal bond funds seek income that is exempt from both federal, state and
local income taxes.

taxes and, for certain investors, may be subject to the federal Alternative
Minimum Tax (AMT).

ARE YOUR RETIREMENT PLANS ON TRACK?
 
Many financial experts agree that you will need 80% of your pre-retirement
income to maintain a comfortable lifestyle during your retirement years.
However, the Social Security Administration reports that many Americans save
only one-third of what they will need. While Social Security benefits are an
important component of retirement assets, most of us realize that these benefits
are not likely to be enough. Even combined with your company pension plan, you
may still fall short. Greater emphasis will continue to be placed on personal
investments to complete the retirement picture.
 
Proper asset allocation, one of the strongest drivers of portfolio return, is
particularly important where retirement investments are concerned. It's
important to determine if your retirement assets are properly allocated to
provide the growth you need without taking on undue risk.
 
WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU?
 
Before making any changes in your investment strategy, take time to understand
the relationship between investment risk and investment reward. Generally, the
greater the potential for investment reward, such as growth from stock
investments, the greater the risk. Consider whether your timeframe is adequate
to compensate for potential market downturns.
 
In determining the level of investment risk you are comfortable with, consider
the following:
 
- - STOCKS ARE LONG-TERM INVESTMENT VEHICLES. Since stocks offer the strongest
  potential for growth among the asset classes, stock market investments are
  generally suitable for pursuing long-term investment goals. Investors pursuing
  short-term investment goals may wish to consider shifting assets toward
  investments with greater price stability.
 
- - BOND INVESTMENTS OFFER GREATER STABILITY THAN STOCKS, BUT ARE NOT WITHOUT
  RISK. The types of risk a bond investor will incur include credit risk and
  interest-rate risk, both of which can affect a bond's price and yield. In
  addition, while bonds generally are not as volatile as stocks, they also do
  not offer the growth potential found in stock market investments. A portfolio
  that contains only bond investments may hurt your potential to outpace
  inflation over time.
 
- - INTERNATIONAL STOCKS AND BONDS OFFER GREATER DIVERSIFICATION. Although
  international investing presents additional risks such as political, currency
  and liquidity risk, the diversification benefits can increase the potential
  for higher overall portfolio returns and lower portfolio risk.
 
- - AVOID PLACING ALL OF YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET. Spread your investment dollars
  among stock, bond and money market investments to help reduce the risk and
  impact of principal loss should a particular investment perform poorly.

NATIONS FUND, INC.

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
 
Nations Fund, Inc. (the "Company") is a Maryland corporation registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a
diversified, open-end management investment company and consists of five
separate portfolios: Nations Prime Fund ("Prime Fund"), Nations Treasury Fund
("Treasury Fund"), Nations Equity Income Fund ("Equity Income Fund"), Nations
Government Securities Fund ("Government Securities Fund") and Nations
International Equity Fund ("International Equity Fund") (collectively, the
"Funds"). The Equity Income Fund, the Government Securities Fund and the
International Equity Fund currently offer four classes of shares: Trust A
Shares, Investor A Shares, Investor C Shares and Investor N Shares. The Prime
Fund and the Treasury Fund currently offer six classes of shares: Trust A
Shares, Trust B Shares, Investor A Shares, Investor B Shares, Investor C Shares
and Investor D Shares. The Board of Directors has authorized the issuance of
Trust B Shares of all Funds. As of November 30, 1995, no Trust B Shares of the
Equity Income Fund, Government Securities Fund and International Equity Fund
have been issued. Shareholders of a Fund have equal voting rights on matters
affecting all shareholders of the Fund equally. 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 of shares differ from the interests of any other class. The following is a
summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the
preparation of their financial statements.
 
Securities Valuations:  A security listed or traded on an exchange is valued at
its last sales price on the exchange where the security is principally traded
or, lacking any sales on a particular day, the security is valued at the mean
between the closing bid and asked prices on that day. Each security traded in
the over-the-counter market (but not including securities reported on the NASDAQ
National Market System) is valued at the mean between the last available bid and
asked prices based upon quotes furnished by market makers for such securities.
Each security reported on the NASDAQ National Market System is valued at the
last sales price on the valuation date. Debt obligations that are issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, authorities and
instrumentalities are valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent
pricing service. Prices provided by the pricing service may be determined
without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors
such as yield, type of issue, coupon rate, maturity and general market
conditions. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are
valued at fair value under the supervision of the Board of Directors. The
portfolio securities of the Prime Fund and the Treasury Fund are valued at
amortized cost. Amortized cost valuation involves valuing an instrument at its
cost initially and, thereafter, assuming a constant amortization to maturity of
any discount or premium, regardless of the effect of fluctuating interest rates
on the market value of the instrument. Short-term obligations having 60 days or
less to maturity are valued at cost plus interest earned, which approximates
market value.
 
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 time, 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 is
potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from
exercising its rights 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 rights. The Funds' investment adviser,
acting under the supervision of the Board of Directors, monitors the value of
the collateral received as well as the creditworthiness of those banks and
dealers with which the Funds enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate
potential risks.
 
Certain Funds may enter into floating rate repurchase agreements ("FRRA").
FRAA's are defined as repurchase agreements whose interest rate resets
periodically based upon a defined index, the maturity of which can be extended
or renewed. The terms of the FRRA's entered into by a Fund may include a demand
feature which allows the Fund to put the security back to the issuer at par
value after giving specified notice.
 
Reverse Repurchase Agreement:  The Prime Fund, Treasury Fund and Government
Securities Fund each may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with
institutions that the Fund's investment adviser has determined are creditworthy.

NATIONS FUND, INC.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
 
Under a reverse repurchase agreement, a Fund sells securities and agrees to
repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. At the time a 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 liquid high grade debt obligations equal in value to its
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 the Fund is obligated to repurchase.
Securities subject to repurchase under reverse repurchase agreements are
designated in the Schedule of Investments.
 
At November 30, 1995, the Treasury Fund had reverse repurchase agreements
outstanding as follows:
 
<TABLE>
        <S>                                                                         <C>
        Maturity Amount...........................................................  $ 648,986,000
        Maturity Date.............................................................        7/01/96
        Market Value of Assets Sold Under Agreements..............................  $ 717,282,173
</TABLE>
 
The average weekly balance of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding during
the period ended November 30, 1995 was $690,398,776. The Prime Fund and
Government Securities Fund did not enter into any reverse repurchase agreements
during the period ended November 30, 1995.
 
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 period, representing the difference between interest rates on the
reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements, amounted to $692,438 and have been
included in interest income in the Statement of Operations.
 
Futures Contracts:  The Equity Income Fund, the Government Securities Fund and
the International Equity Fund may enter into futures contracts for the purpose
of hedging against changes in values of a Fund's securities, in prevailing
interest rates or in currency exchange rates. Upon entering into a futures
contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or
cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is
known as the "initial margin." Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made
or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the
value of the contract.
 
During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the
contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking-to-market" on
a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each
day. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed
equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing
transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract.
 
Risks arise in the possible movement of the securities or indices underlying
those investments. Risks also include the possibility that there may not be a
liquid secondary market for these contracts, that a change in the value of the
contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying
securities or that the counterparty to a contract may default on its obligation
to perform.
 
Foreign Currency Transactions:  The International Equity Fund will generally
enter into forward currency exchange contracts only under two circumstances: (i)
when the Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security
denominated in a foreign currency, to "lock" in the U.S. exchange rate of the
transaction. This period is a short-dated contract covering the period between
transaction date and settlement date; and (ii) when NationsBank N.A. and/or
Nations Gartmore Investment Management ("Nations Gartmore") believes that the
currency of a particular foreign country may experience a substantial movement
against the U.S. dollar. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the
forward rate and are marked-to-market daily. The change in market value is
recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed,
the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was
closed.
 
Forward foreign currency contracts will be used primarily to protect the Fund
from adverse currency movements and will generally not be entered into for a
term greater than one year. The use of forward foreign currency contracts does
not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Fund's investment
securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the
future. The use of forward contracts involves the risk that anticipated currency
movements will not be accurately predicted. A forward contract would limit the
risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a particular currency, however
they also would limit any potential gain that might result should the value of
the currency increase instead of decrease. In addition, the Fund could be
exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to
 
                                       39

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
 
meet the terms of their contracts. The counterparty risk exposure is, therefore,
closely monitored and contracts are only executed with high credit quality
financial institutions.
 
Foreign Currency:  The books and records of the Funds are maintained in United
States (U.S.) dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and
liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at
the end of the period, and purchases and sales of investment securities, income
and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Net
realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange
rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and
settlement date of investment securities transactions, foreign currency
transactions and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends
recorded on the books of the Fund and the amount actually received. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are
not segregated in the Statement of Operations from the effects of changes in
market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and
unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
Dollar Roll Transactions:  The Government Securities Fund may enter into dollar
roll transactions with financial institutions to take advantage of opportunities
in the mortgage market. Dollar roll transactions consist of the sale by a Fund
of mortgage-backed or other asset-backed securities, together with a commitment
to purchase similar, but not identical, securities at a future date, at the same
price. In addition, a Fund is paid a fee as consideration for entering into the
commitment to purchase. This fee is accrued as income over the life of the
dollar roll contract. If the broker/dealer to whom a Fund sells the security
becomes insolvent, the Fund's right to purchase or repurchase the security may
be restricted; the value of the security may change adversely over the term of
the dollar roll; the security that the Fund is required to repurchase may be
worth less than the security that the Fund originally held, and the return
earned by the Fund with the proceeds of a dollar roll may not exceed transaction
costs.
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income:  Securities transactions are
accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on sales are
computed on the specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income,
adjusted for amortization of market discounts and premiums on investments on the
straight line method, is earned from settlement date and is recorded on the
accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that
certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Funds are
informed of the ex-dividend date. Each Fund's investment income and realized and
unrealized gains and losses are allocated among the classes based upon the
relative net assets of each class.
 
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. Each Fund instructs the custodian to segregate assets in
a separate account with a current value at least equal to the amount of its
when-issued purchase commitments.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders:  Dividends from net investment
income, if any, for the Equity Income Fund and the International Equity Fund are
declared and paid each calendar quarter. Dividends from net investment income
for the Prime Fund, the Treasury Fund and the Government Securities Fund are
declared on each day the Fund is open for business and paid monthly. Net
realized capital gains (including net short-term capital gains) for the Equity
Income Fund, Government Securities Fund and International Equity Fund are
distributed at least annually. For the Prime Fund and the Treasury Fund, capital
gains, unless offset by any available capital loss carryforward, are distributed
to shareholders annually after the fiscal year in which earned or more
frequently to maintain each Fund's net asset value of $1.00 per share.
Additional distributions may be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors
in order to avoid the application of a 4% nondeductible Federal excise tax on
certain amounts of undistributed ordinary income and capital gains. Income
distributions and capital gain distributions on a Fund level are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to timing differences
and differing characterization of distributions made by the Fund as a whole.
 
Federal Income Taxes:  Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment
company by complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and by distributing
substantially all of its earnings to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal
income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund may be subject to foreign
taxes on income, gains on investment or currency repatriation.
 
Expenses:  General expenses of the Company are allocated to the Funds based upon
relative net assets. Operating expenses directly attributable to a class of
shares are charged to that class' operations. Expenses of the Company not
 
                                       40

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
 
directly attributable to the operations of any class of shares or portfolio are
prorated among the classes based on the relative average net assets of each
class.
 
Cash Flow Information:  Cash, as used in the Statement of Cash Flows, is the
amount reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Company issues
its shares, invests in securities, and distributes dividends from net investment
income (which are either paid in cash or reinvested at the discretion of
shareholders). These activities are reported in the Statement of Changes in Net
Assets. Information on cash payments is presented in the Statement of Cash
Flows. Accounting practices that do not affect reporting activities on a cash
basis include unrealized gain or loss on investment securities, accretion income
recognized on investment securities and amortization of deferred organization
costs.
 
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE AND
   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS.
 
The Company has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with NationsBank,

7.  ORGANIZATION COSTS.
 
Each Fund bears all costs in connection with its organization including the fees
and expenses of registering and qualifying its shares for distribution under
Federal and state securities regulations. All such costs are being amortized on
the straight-line method over a period of five years from the commencement of
operations of each Fund. In the event that any of the shares issued by the Funds
to their sponsor prior to the commencement of the Funds' public offering
("initial shares") are redeemed during such amortization period, the Fund will
be reimbursed for any unamortized costs in the same proportion as the number of
shares redeemed bears to the number of initial shares outstanding at the time of
the redemption. All such costs for the Prime Fund, Treasury Fund and Government
Securities Fund have been fully amortized.
 
8.  FOREIGN SECURITIES.
 
The Equity Income Fund and the International Equity Fund invest in foreign
securities. Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments
involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with
investing in U.S. companies and U.S. Government securities. These risks include
revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic
developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign
governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile
than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. Government
securities.
 
9.  LINE OF CREDIT.
 
The Company and Nations Fund Trust participate in a $25 million line of credit
provided by Mellon Bank, N.A. (the "Bank") under a Line of Credit Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated March 17, 1994. 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. Under this Agreement, each Fund may borrow up to the lesser of $10
million or 5% of its net assets. Interest on borrowings is payable either at the
Bank's Money Market Rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.25%
on an annualized basis. Each Fund and the other affiliated entities are charged
an aggregate commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the amount of the credit. Each
Fund is liable only for that portion of the commitment with respect to such Fund
and shall not be liable for the portion of the commitment fee of any other fund.
The Agreement requires, among other things, that each participating fund
maintain a ratio of net assets (not including funds borrowed pursuant to the
Agreement) to aggregate amount of indebtedness pursuant to the Agreement of no
less than 4 to 1. During the six months ended November 30, 1995, the Funds did
not borrow under the Agreement.
