DEAR CRESTFUNDS SHAREHOLDER:

Financial assets performed well for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1996.
Equities, once again, were the asset of choice for the period with investment
returns only slightly below the strong showing of a year ago. Fixed income and
money market returns were more in line with historical norms but still provided
investment returns well above the increase in inflation.
In last year's annual report, we stated that there was a high probability
that the economic expansion would continue, but that the financial markets were
likely to generate more moderate investment returns than we saw during fiscal
year 1995. As we begin fiscal year 1997, we, again, look for a continuation of
the economic expansion and positive investment returns across all asset classes.
However, we approach the new year with more caution than a year ago simply
because the economy and the financial markets are extended and are more
vulnerable to negative shocks from a growing list of sources.


A REVIEW OF 1996:
THE ECONOMY AND THE FINANCIAL MARKETS
The economy surged briefly early in the year. Employment jumped, retail spending
accelerated, and the interest rate sensitive housing market showed renewed
vigor. This increase in economic activity created concerns that inflation would
rise, possibly forcing the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. The market
reaction was swift and relatively severe as 90-day Treasury Bill rates rose from
4.91% to 5.35% by the summer. Long-term Treasury bond yields jumped from a low
of 5.95% to 7.19% during the same period. The jump in rates curbed enthusiasm
for equities. The S&P 500 Index showed little change from February to the middle
of September. Much of this stress in the financial markets was in anticipation
of an upward rate change by the Federal Reserve. That change never came.
The economic surge was indeed brief. Economic growth fell to a below-average
pace during the second half of the year. Job growth slowed, consumer spending
stalled, loan delinquencies rose, and the housing and auto markets retreated.
The drop in growth relieved fears of an over-expanded economy, giving new life
to financial assets. Treasury Bills fell to previous lows, and bond yields
dipped below the 6.40% level.
The more favorable interest rate and inflation environment, combined with
continued growth in corporate profits, energized stocks. The S&P 500 Index
jumped over 20% from the middle of July to the end of November. For the fiscal
year ended November 30, 1996, the total return from 90 day Treasury Bills was
5.10%, while the Lehman Government/Corporate Intermediate Index recorded a 5.83%
return. The S&P 500 Index had a total return of 27.88% for the fiscal year,
while the NASDAQ composite produced a 22.04% return.


<PAGE>




THE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK FOR 1997
The current expansion is poised to enter its seventh year, making it one of the
longest on record. While we see few imbalances that might put an end to this
impressive streak, we likewise see few areas in the economy able to produce
anything better than average growth. Consumer spending has slowed, and the
willingness to use credit is fading. Moreover, the desire of banks to extend new
credit has taken a more conservative tone. Lower mortgage rates could help keep
a floor under the housing market, but any new round of building is likely to be
muted at best. Typically, there is very little "pent up" demand this long into
an economic expansion. This does not suggest bad news, but rather, an economic
scenario that leaves little room for error.
If spending is no better than average in the coming year, corporate expansion
plans would need to be curtailed, and corporate profit growth could struggle to
keep pace with the success of previous years. In this environment of modest
growth, inflation pressures should be muted. Overall, economic growth should
average around 2% for the year, with inflation, as measured by the Consumer
Price Index, rising 2-3%. While economic expansions do not "die of old age",
they do become increasingly vulnerable to negative shocks such as an unexpected
commodity price change, a labor disruption, or a sudden drop in consumer
confidence, or a political or economic problem overseas. These underlying
concerns significantly reduce the chance of a robust economy.


THE OUTLOOK FOR THE FINANCIAL MARKETS
Our long-term outlook for financial assets remains very positive. For the coming
year we are cautiously optimistic. We could see quarterly jumps in economic
growth or in some consumer prices, but the general trend to more moderate growth
in inflation is still intact. This could provide room for moderate declines in
both short- and long- term interest rates. In this environment, we would look
for bond funds to perform reasonably well, while money market fund yields could
be lower.
The key to equity performance in 1997 will be corporate profitability.
Competition from foreign markets is not likely to fade. Healthy competition and
modest consumer demand is likely to keep pressure on corporations to protect
market share and strengthen their cost management disciplines. We do not see
these pressures receding in the near future. Consequently, corporate America
will be faced with the challenge of meeting and/or exceeding anticipated
earnings per share. Investors are unlikely to accept earnings disappointments.
Equity prices have generated a total return over the past two years in excess of
70%. Historically, such a strong performance has been followed by a period of
weakness. As a result, we are more cautious on our outlook for equities than we
were a year ago.
On behalf of all of us who manage CrestFunds, let me thank you for the
opportunity to serve you. Please let us know if there is more we can do to help
you fulfill your investment objectives.

Sincerely,

CRESTFUNDS, INC.: LIMITED TERM BOND FUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Limited Term Bond Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income by
investing in investment-grade fixed income debt obligations. The Fund is managed
to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of between 1 and 5
years.

YEAR IN REVIEW

FISCAL YEAR ENDING NOVEMBER 1996 WAS CHALLENGING FOR BOND MARKET PARTICIPANTS.
After experiencing weakness throughout much of 1995, the US economy received a
much needed boost from the Federal Reserve when it lowered the Federal Funds
rate in December 1995 and again in January 1996 to its present level of 5.25%.
By the end of the first quarter of 1996, it was apparent that these lower
interest rates had provided consumers and businesses with the incentive to
increase spending. As the economy continued to strengthen during the second
quarter, each monthly employment report showed a rising number of newly created
jobs and a falling number of unemployed Americans. Against this backdrop,
interest rates exhibited a high degree of volatility as yields rose on fears
that such a tight labor market would lead to higher inflation. By July, the
yield on the 30 year Treasury Bond had moved to 7.2% from 5.94% in January. Bond
investors who had anticipated that the Federal Reserve would raise short-term
interest rates at the July FOMC meeting to slow the pace of economic growth were
disappointed as the FOMC chose to leave rates unchanged. As various reports came
in during the third and fourth quarter, it became apparent that Federal Reserve
Chairman Greenspan had used a crystal ball and that economic growth was indeed
moderating. Despite a tight labor market, inflation also appeared well
contained. Bond prices began to rally as this new outlook unfolded and were
supported by weakness in retail sales, housing and lower monthly employment
gains.
   THE CRESTFUNDS LIMITED TERM BOND FUND RESPONDED TO THESE MARKET CONDITIONS BY
REDUCING MATURITIES AND REPOSITIONING THE PORTFOLIO AMONG VARIOUS SECTORS. The
majority of the maturity reduction occurred during the first half of 1996 when
the Fund's average maturity was reduced from 3.8 years to 3.4 years. This
strategy was accomplished by reducing exposure to intermediate maturities and
investing in shorter dated bonds. Sector changes focused primarily on increasing
holdings within the short maturity asset-backed and mortgage sector in order to
acquire securities that offered higher yields relative to treasuries. As it
became apparent that economic growth was beginning to slow during the third
quarter and our market outlook was for interest rates to remain relatively
stable, the Fund continued to build exposure to the asset-backed/mortgage sector
and reduce exposure to corporate bonds. By fiscal year-end, maturities had been
extended to slightly under 4 years, corporate bonds had been reduced from 42% to
32%, and mortgages and asset-backed securities had been increased from 21% to
32%. This repositioning out of corporates into mortgages resulted in the overall
quality of securities in the Fund increasing from AA to AAA at fiscal year end.
   LOOKING AHEAD, WE BELIEVE IT IS LIKELY THAT LONG-TERM INTEREST RATES WILL
CONTINUE TO TRADE WITHIN A BROAD RANGE OF 6-7% DURING 1997, FINISHING THE YEAR
LARGELY UNCHANGED FROM PRESENT LEVELS. Economic growth is expected to remain
moderate with inflation well contained. Accordingly, the Fed may leave
short-term interest rates unchanged. This view is supported by dramatic slowing
within the housing sector, moderating retail sales, slight increases in monthly
unemployment, and decreasing monthly employment gains. Commodity prices, a
leading indicator of building inflationary pressures, also appear to be on the
decline with Gold trading under $370 an ounce, the lowest level since late 1993.
Unknowns for 1997 include the possibility of a revision to the Consumer Price
Index, which in turn could lead to some concrete progress toward a balanced
budget amendment. Both events would be positive for fixed income investors.

Bond prices began to rally as this new outlook unfolded and were supported by
weakness in retail sales, housing and lower monthly employment gains.
     CRESTFUNDS INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND RESPONDED TO THESE VOLATILE TIMES BY
SHORTENING MATURITIES DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR AND BY REPOSITIONING
AMONG VARIOUS SECTORS. At the end of the last fiscal year, the Fund's average
maturity was slightly under 7 years. During the first half of the year,
maturities were shortened to 5.5 years. This strategy was accomplished by
reducing exposure to intermediate maturities and investing large new inflows the
Fund experienced during that period into shorter dated bonds. Sector changes
focused primarily on increasing holdings within the mortgage sector in order to
acquire securities that offered higher yields relative to treasuries. As it
became apparent that economic growth was beginning to slow during the third
quarter and our market outlook was for interest rates to remain relatively
stable, the Fund continued to build exposure to the mortgage sector and reduce
exposure to corporate bonds. As new money continued to flow into the Fund,
longer dated treasuries were also purchased. By fiscal year end, when the Fund
had almost tripled in size during the previous 12 months, maturities had been
extended to 7 years, corporate bonds had been reduced from 39% to 34%, and
mortgages and asset-backed securities had been increased from 14% to 24%.
Following this shift from corporates into mortgages, the overall quality of
securities in the Fund remained AA at fiscal year end.
     LOOKING AHEAD, WE BELIEVE IT IS LIKELY THAT LONG-TERM INTEREST RATES WILL
CONTINUE TO TRADE WITHIN A BROAD RANGE OF 6-7% DURING 1997, FINISHING THE YEAR
LARGELY UNCHANGED FROM PRESENT LEVELS. Economic growth is expected to remain
moderate with inflation well contained. Accordingly, the Fed may leave
short-term interest rates unchanged. This view is supported by dramatic slowing

manner consistent with preserving principal by investing primarily in
obligations issued or guaranteed by US Government or its agencies or
instrumentalities. There are no limits on the dollar-weighted average portfolio
maturity of the Fund.

YEAR IN REVIEW

FISCAL YEAR ENDING NOVEMBER 1996 WAS CHALLENGING FOR BOND MARKET PARTICIPANTS.
After experiencing weakness throughout much of 1995, the US economy received a
much needed boost from the Federal Reserve when it lowered the Federal Funds
rate in December 1995 and again in January 1996 to its present level of 5.25%.
By the end of the first quarter of 1996, it was apparent that these lower
interest rates had provided consumers and businesses with the incentive to
increase spending. As the economy continued to strengthen during the second
quarter, each monthly employment report showed a rising number of newly created
jobs and a falling number of unemployed Americans. Against this backdrop,
interest rates exhibited a high degree of volatility as yields rose on fears
that such a tight labor market would lead to higher inflation. By July, the
yield on the 30 year Treasury Bond had moved to 7.2% from 5.94% in January. Bond
investors who had anticipated that the Federal Reserve would raise short-term
interest rates at the July FOMC meeting to slow the pace of economic growth were
disappointed as the FOMC chose to leave rates unchanged. As various reports came
in during the third and fourth quarter, it became apparent that Greenspan had
used a crystal ball and that economic growth was indeed moderating. Despite a
tight labor market, inflation also appeared well contained. Bond prices began to
rally as this new outlook unfolded and were supported by weakness in retail
sales, housing and lower monthly employment gains.
     CRESTFUNDS GOVERNMENT BOND FUND RESPONDED TO THESE VOLATILE TIMES BY
SHORTENING MATURITIES DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR AND BY REPOSITIONING
AMONG VARIOUS SECTORS. At the end of the last fiscal year, the Fund's average
maturity was 9.5 years. During the first half of the year, maturities were
shortened to 7.25 years. This strategy was accomplished by reducing exposure to
long maturities and investing large new inflows the Fund experienced during that
period into short and intermediate maturity bonds. Sector changes focused
primarily on increasing holdings within the mortgage sector in order to acquire
securities that offered higher yields relative to treasuries. As it became
apparent that economic growth was beginning to slow during the third quarter and
our market outlook was for interest rates to remain relatively stable, the Fund
continued to build exposure to the mortgage sector and reduce exposure to
corporate bonds. As new money continued to flow into the Fund, longer dated
treasuries were also purchased. By fiscal year end, when the Fund had doubled in
size during the previous 12 months, corporate bonds had been reduced from 23% to
16% and mortgages and asset-backed securities had been increased from 4% to 19%.
This repositioning out of corporates and into mortgages resulted in the overall
quality of securities in the Fund remaining AAA at fiscal year end.
     LOOKING AHEAD, WE BELIEVE IT IS LIKELY THAT LONG-TERM INTEREST RATES WILL
CONTINUE TO TRADE WITHIN A BROAD RANGE OF 6-7% DURING 1997, FINISHING THE YEAR
LARGELY UNCHANGED FROM PRESENT LEVELS. Economic growth is expected to remain
moderate with inflation well contained. Accordingly, the Fed may leave
short-term interest rates unchanged. This view is supported by dramatic slowing
within the housing sector, moderating retail sales, slight increases in monthly
unemployment, and decreasing monthly employment gains. Commodity prices, a
leading indicator of building inflationary pressures, also appear to be on the
decline with Gold trading under $370 an ounce, the lowest level since late 1993.
Unknowns for 1997 include the possibility of a revision to the Consumer Price
Index which in turn could lead to some concrete progress toward a balanced
budget amendment. Both events would be positive for fixed income investors.

CRESTFUNDS, INC.: VIRGINIA INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Virginia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund seeks to provide a high level of
income exempt from federal and Virginia income tax in a manner consistent with
the preservation of capital by investing in municipal bonds of investment grade
quality. The Fund is managed to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio
maturity of between 5 and 10 years.

YEAR IN REVIEW

THE NOVEMBER 1996 FISCAL YEAR ENDED WITH INTEREST RATES APPROXIMATELY THE SAME
AS 12 MONTHS AGO, BUT NOT WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT VOLATILITY ALONG THE WAY. At the
beginning of the fiscal year, when investors believed that the economy was
growing at a slow but sustainable noninflationary pace, interest rates
approached their lows for the year. The trend reversed abruptly in mid-February
as the employment report showed a sharp increase in jobs, causing investors to
begin fearing an inflationary acceleration in growth. Finally in the fall,
interest rates fell quickly as economic growth moderated and inflation fears
receded.
    TAX-EXEMPT BONDS OUTPERFORMED TAXABLE BONDS OVER MOST OF THE FISCAL YEAR DUE
TO SEVERAL FACTORS. New issue supply slowed as refunding activity declined in
response to higher interest rates. Retail demand improved as buyers were enticed
by higher yields throughout most of the year. This tight supply/demand situation
particularly benefited specialty states such as Virginia and Maryland, where
secondary supply was limited. Also, fears of major tax reform, which plagued the
market for much of 1995, diminished as Clinton fashioned a sizable lead in the
polls.
    WE MADE SEVERAL STRATEGY ADJUSTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO HELP THE FUND
COPE WITH A VOLATILE INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT. Early in the fiscal year we were
able to add 7-15 year tax-exempt bonds to the portfolio when the ratio of
tax-exempt yields to Treasury yields was historically high because of Tax Reform
fears, indicating that tax-exempts were very attractive relative to taxable
bonds. As interest rates rose in late February, March and April, we shifted
emphasis to purchases of pre-refunded bonds, and thus, moderately shortened the
average maturity of the Fund. Later in the year, as interest rates were
beginning to decline, we used the very liquid, high quality, short dated
pre-refunded bonds as a source of funds for reinvestment in longer term, high
yielding revenue issues in the lease revenue and health care sectors. The Fund
ended the year with an average maturity of 8.4 years. Consistent with a slow
growth, moderate inflation environment, we have sought to maintain a high
overall security credit quality of AA and increase call protection whenever
possible.
    LOOKING AHEAD, MUNICIPAL BOND YIELDS CONTINUE TO APPEAR RELATIVELY
ATTRACTIVE. High quality, long-term tax-exempts are likely to continue to trade
within a broad 5-6% range during 1997. Economic growth is expected to remain
moderate with inflation well contained. Accordingly, the Federal Reserve may
leave short-term interest rates unchanged. Municipal bond yields should continue
to find support during the coming year from several factors. These factors
include a continued moderation in supply due to conservative attitudes about
spending by state and local governments, increased demand from aging Baby
Boomers who are increasingly likely to seek a stable source of after-tax income,
and a more volatile stock market -- particularly if stocks begin undergoing more
normal "correction" patterns.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Virginia Municipal Bond Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income
exempt from federal and Virginia income tax in a manner consistent with the
preservation of capital by investing in municipal bonds of investment grade
quality.
There are no limits on the dollar-weighted portfolio maturity of the Fund.

YEAR IN REVIEW

THE NOVEMBER 1996 FISCAL YEAR ENDED WITH INTEREST RATES APPROXIMATELY THE SAME
AS 12 MONTHS AGO, BUT NOT WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT VOLATILITY ALONG THE WAY. At the
beginning of the fiscal year, when investors believed that the economy was
growing at a slow but sustainable noninflationary pace, interest rates
approached their lows for the year. The trend reversed abruptly in mid-February
as the employment report showed a sharp increase in jobs, causing investors to
begin fearing an inflationary acceleration in growth. Finally in the fall,
interest rates fell quickly as economic growth moderated and inflation fears
receded.
    TAX-EXEMPT BONDS OUTPERFORMED TAXABLE BONDS OVER MOST OF THE FISCAL YEAR DUE
TO SEVERAL FACTORS. New issue supply slowed as refunding activity declined in
response to higher interest rates. Retail demand improved as buyers were enticed
by higher yields throughout most of the year. This tight supply/demand situation
particularly benefited specialty states such as Virginia and Maryland, where
secondary supply was limited. Also, fears of major tax reform which plagued the
market for much of 1995, diminished as Clinton fashioned a sizable lead in the
polls.
    WE MADE SEVERAL STRATEGY ADJUSTMENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO HELP THE FUND
COPE WITH A VOLATILE INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT. Early in the fiscal year we were
able to add 15-30 year tax-exempt bonds to the portfolio when the ratio of
tax-exempt yields to Treasury yields was historically high because of Tax Reform
fears, indicating that tax-exempts were very attractive relative to taxable
bonds. As interest rates rose in late February, March and April, we shifted
emphasis to purchases of pre-refunded bonds, and thus, moderately shortened the
average maturity of the Fund. Later in the year as interest rates were beginning
to decline, we used the very liquid, high quality, short dated pre-refunded
bonds as a source of funds for reinvestment in longer term, high yielding
revenue issues in the lease revenue and health care sectors. The Fund ended the
year with an average maturity of 15.7 years. Consistent with a slow growth,
moderate inflation environment, we have sought to maintain a high overall credit
quality of AA and increase call protection whenever possible.
    LOOKING AHEAD, MUNICIPAL BOND YIELDS CONTINUE TO APPEAR RELATIVELY
ATTRACTIVE. High quality tax-exempts are likely to continue to trade within a
broad 5-6% range during 1997. Economic growth is expected to remain moderate
with inflation well contained. Accordingly, the Federal Reserve may leave
short-term interest rates unchanged. Municipal bond yields should continue to
find support during the coming year from several factors. These factors include
a continued moderation in supply due to conservative attitudes about spending by
state and local governments, increased demand from aging Baby Boomers who are
increasingly likely to seek a stable source of after-tax income, and more
volatile stock market -- particularly if stocks begin undergoing more normal
"correction" patterns.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Maryland Municipal Bond Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income
exempt from federal and Maryland income tax in a manner consistent with the
preservation of capital by investing in Municipal Bonds of investment grade
quality. There are no limits on the dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity 
of the Fund.

YEAR IN REVIEW

SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN MARCH, THE FUND HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED IN SIZE AND HAS
BENEFITED FROM THE RECENT DROP IN INTEREST RATES. Consistent with the objective
of providing tax-exempt income, the Fund invests in longer term, high quality,
Maryland municipal bonds.
   THIS FUND'S INCEPTION WAS AT WHAT WE NOW KNOW TO HAVE BEEN A TURNING POINT IN
INTEREST RATES. Our original strategy was to use the late February back up in
interest rates to invest in longer, higher yielding Maryland municipal bonds. As
interest rates continued to rise, we shifted emphasis to purchases of
pre-refunded bonds to moderately shorten the average maturity. Then, as interest
rates were beginning to decline later in the year, we used the very liquid, high
quality, short dated pre-refunded bonds as a source of funds for reinvestment in
longer term, high yielding revenue issues in the lease revenue and health care
sectors. The Fund ended the November 30, 1996 year with an average maturity of
13 years. Consistent with a slow growth, moderate inflation environment, we have
sought to maintain a high overall security credit quality of AAA and increase
call protection whenever possible.
   LOOKING AHEAD, MUNICIPAL BOND YIELDS CONTINUE TO APPEAR RELATIVELY
ATTRACTIVE. High quality, long-term tax-exempts are likely to continue to trade
with a broad 5-6% range during 1997. Economic growth is expected to remain
moderate with inflation well contained. Accordingly, the Federal Reserve may
leave short-term interest rates unchanged. Municipal bond yields should continue

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Value Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and, as a
secondary objective, current income, by investing primarily in income producing
equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations. Investments
are broadly diversified among major economic sectors and among those securities
with above-average total return potential.

YEAR IN REVIEW

THE EQUITY MARKETS AGAIN DELIVERED SURPRISINGLY STRONG RETURNS FOR THE YEAR
ENDING NOVEMBER 30, 1996. While not fully matching the robust results of 1995,
1996's gains have provided equity investors one of the top consecutive yearly
returns since the Depression. At the beginning of the year, upbeat investor
expectations were being expressed through record new investments into equity
mutual funds. Despite a new set of worries that materialized throughout the year
- -- winter recessionary jitters that melted into overheated summer economic
concerns, predictions of renewed inflation, forecasted potential adverse
political consequences behind the national elections, and a certain, imminent
and broad based collapse in corporate profits -- investors remained confident
and plowed an eye-popping $200 billion + into the equity markets during 1996.
With the benign economic, interest rate, and inflation back drop that unfolded,
this liquidity served as the relentless driver for the markets throughout the
year.
     THE VALUE FUND ENJOYED STRONG RETURNS OF 22.7% (TRUST CLASS) FOR THE FISCAL
YEAR. Asset size grew to $577 million at year end from $235 million the previous
year, a gain of 145%. Inclusive of this growth was approximately $198 million
converted from the Crestar Value Common Trust Fund in September. We boosted the
Fund's exposure both to consumer non-durables/healthcare and financials, two
areas that can benefit further from the slower economic outlook we foresee in
1997. The financial sector remains particularly attractive both because of the
favorable impact of lower interest rates and the company-specific advantages
from aggressive restructuring and consolidation that is occurring. We have been
selective in maintaining our consumer non-durable exposure, as higher valuation
levels have made the dichotomy between winners and losers more pronounced.
     CONVERSELY, WE HAVE REDUCED OUR COMMITMENT TO AREAS DEPENDENT UPON CONSUMER
SPENDING, WHERE EARNINGS PROBLEMS AND SENSITIVITY TO A SLOWER ECONOMIC PACE
APPEARS TO BE THE MOST ENTRENCHED. Shortfall in earnings and/or a weakening in
the fundamental picture has been dealt with harshly in this market, a trend we
see continuing. Across all sectors of the market, we have emphasized stocks with
emerging or sustainable earnings, whether because of market position, product
cycle, or tangible restructuring activities initiated by management. The
restructuring of corporate America, while a maturing theme, still offers a
number of outstanding opportunities on a company-specific basis.
     HISTORY WOULD SUGGEST THAT, FOLLOWING TWO SENSATIONAL RETURN YEARS AND
ENTERING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE NEW PRESIDENTIAL TERM, THE MARKETS MAY BE POISED
FOR A BREATHER. Still, we seem to be entering the new year with investor
confidence high, equity mutual fund inflows gushing, a powerful market tailwind,
and seemingly only blue skies on the horizon. We expect the interplay of market
fundamentals, liquidity, and market sentiment to produce volatility that will
test investor confidence in the months ahead. Expectations are elevated along
with market; the challenge in 1997 will be to gradually dampen some of the
unrealistically high hopes without significantly impacting the overall market.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Capital Appreciation Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by
investing primarily in the equity securities of companies with medium to large
market capitalizations.

YEAR IN REVIEW

A DISCIPLINED EQUITY SELECTION APPROACH AND A FAVORABLE MARKET ENVIRONMENT
HELPED THE CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND ENJOY PARTICULARLY STRONG PERFORMANCE OF
25.4% (TRUST CLASS) OVER THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS. The Fund's increased focus on
larger capitalization, more established growth companies late in 1995 proved
profitable as these stocks led the market this year. We expect larger
capitalization stocks to continue to perform well, but we are beginning to see
more attractive growth opportunities in stocks with medium market
capitalizations.
     OUR FOCUS ON ESTABLISHED GROWTH COMPANIES THAT HAVE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
WORKED WELL THIS YEAR -- SOME EXAMPLES BEING INTEL, MICROSOFT, AND COCA-COLA.
These types of companies typically enjoy above-average profitability as a result
of proprietary products, low cost production, and/or leading global market
positions. Intel, for instance, controls over 80% of the worldwide
microprocessor market and continues to develop industry- leading proprietary
products each year. A number of new product introductions (and lack of
competitive products) over the next twelve months boosts our confidence in the
earnings outlook for the company, thus making it one of our larger holdings.
Companies that have the capacity to deliver consistent growth, like those
described above, are core holdings in the Capital Appreciation Fund.
     THE FUND ALSO HOLDS A NUMBER OF COMPANIES THAT
WE CLASSIFY AS HAVING EMERGING GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS. These companies tend to
be smaller and have above average growth rates. A good example of an emerging
growth company currently held in the Fund is Cascade Communications, a
manufacturer of high-speed telecommunication equipment that is well-positioned
to benefit from the explosive growth of worldwide telecommunication systems.
While these stocks tend to trade at valuation levels above that of the overall
market, their earnings growth rates offer a compensatory balance.
     FROM A SECTOR PERSPECTIVE, WE CONTINUE TO FIND ATTRACTIVE STOCKS IN THE
TECHNOLOGY AND HEALTHCARE AREAS. These groups offer many growth opportunities
through market expansion and innovative new product developments. There are not
as many attractive opportunities in consumer-oriented areas (particularly food
and beverage stocks), as some of the stocks have relatively high valuations that
are not warranted considering the level of expected earnings growth.
     WE BELIEVE IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER TO FOCUS ON INDIVIDUAL EQUITY
SELECTION, NOT BROAD MARKET OR SECTOR forecasts. The strong performance of the
equity markets this year comes on the heels of near record results last year.
Using history as a guide, we should not expect broad equity market results to
continue at the same pace of the next twelve months. Our disciplined approach of
identifying companies that have solid growth prospects that are trading at
reasonable valuations should perform well in that environment.

CRESTFUNDS, INC.: SPECIAL EQUITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Special Equity Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by
investing primarily in the equity securities of companies with small to medium
market capitalization. These companies often pay no dividends, and current
income is not a goal of the Fund.

YEAR IN REVIEW

FOLLOWING A GREAT 1995, THE STOCK MARKET DELIVERED AN ENCORE PERFORMANCE DURING
THE 1996 FISCAL YEAR. While equities with large market capitalizations provided
the best performance, small and medium sized companies still managed to deliver
attractive, double-digit returns. Strong inflows into equity mutual funds and a
modestly growing economy continued to provide a benign environment for stocks.
In addition, merger and acquisition activity remained brisk this year in a
variety of economic sectors, as larger corporations sought to expand their
businesses through acquiring undervalued companies with solid top-line growth or
restructuring potential. On sector basis, the technology areas (fueled by strong
earnings growth) continued to provide some of the best performing equities this
year.
     THE SPECIAL EQUITY FUND BENEFITED FROM THESE SAME FACTORS. For the fiscal
year ending November 30, 1996, the Trust Class shares produced a 16.4% total
return, similar to the Frank Russell 2000 index. Several holdings in the finance
and technology sectors contributed positively to the Fund's performance. As a
by-product of owning companies with attractive growth prospects and reasonable
valuation levels, a number of holdings in the Fund were acquired by larger
companies during year, including Medisense, Fist Colony and SQA Inc. Such
holdings generally had a positive impact on the Fund's return.
WE CONTINUE TO FIND AREAS IN THE SMALL CAPITALIZATION MARKET OFFERING
REASONABLE VALUE AND ATTRACTIVE LONG-TERM GROWTH PROSPECTS. In addition to these
basic characteristics, we have favored companies that have: 1) improving
business momentum and 2) the ability to expand margins by growing revenues
faster than expenses. For example, we have increased exposure to the
telecommunication equipment providers, potential beneficiaries of deregulation
and rising international demand. In addition, recent purchases have been made in
the software development tools industry, which should benefit from the growing
demand for more complex software applications. In the health service area, we
have added companies like American Home Patient, a solid growth candidate due to
the increasing demand for low cost health care solutions.
     IN SOME OF THE MORE MATURE SECTORS OF THE MARKET, THE FUND HOLDS SEVERAL
INEXPENSIVE COMPANIES THAT ARE CREATING VALUE FOR SHAREHOLDERS BY COST CUTTING
AND AGGRESSIVE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT. Two recent examples are Zale in the retail
industry and Titan Wheel in the machinery areas. In addition, we favor the
outlook in the mortgage insurance and thrift industries, where we expect credit
costs to decline for companies with significant exposure to the western U.S.
region.
     WHILE THE EQUITY MARKET ON THE WHOLE HAS MADE A HISTORICALLY ROBUST ADVANCE
OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, SMALL CAPITALIZATION STOCKS HAVE TRAILED THE OVERALL
MARKET AND STILL OFFER ATTRACTIVE VALUE RELATIVE TO LARGE CAPITALIZATION STOCKS.
If small capitalization stocks close this valuation gap, the Fund should benefit
from its broad exposure to this segment of the equity market.

November 30, 1996

The  Funds'  prospectus   provides  a  description  of  each  Funds'  investment
objectives, policies and strategies.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant  accounting  policies  followed by the
Funds:

     SECURITY VALUATION--Investment securities held by the Money Market Funds
     are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under this
     valuation method, purchase discount and premiums are accreted and amortized
     ratably to maturity and are included in interest income.

     Investments in equity securities held by the Non-Money Market Funds which
     are traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ
     national market system) are stated at the last quoted sale price if readily
     available for each equity securities on each business day; other equity
     securities traded in the over-the-counter markets and listed equity
     securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the
     last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding sixty days to maturity
     for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the most
     recent quoted bid price. Debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining
     until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost. Restricted securities
     for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value
     using methods determined in good faith under general supervision of the
     Funds' Directors.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--It is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify as
     a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes and
     distribute all of its taxable income and net capital gains. Accordingly, no
     provision for Federal income taxes is required.

     DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS--Distribution from net
     investment income for the Money Market Funds and Bond Funds are declared
     daily and paid monthly. Each of the Equity Funds declare and pay dividends
     from net investment income monthly. Any net realized capital gains will be
     distributed at least annually for all Funds. Dividends and distributions
     are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ
     from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are
     primarily due to differing treatments for deferral of wash sales losses and
     post October losses.

     CLASSES--Class specific expenses are borne by that class. Income, non-class
     specific expenses and realized/unrealized gains and losses are allocated to
     the respective classes on the basis of the relative daily net assets.

     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Security transactions are
     accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date).
     Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of
     investment securities are those of the specific securities sold adjusted
     for the accretion and amortization of purchase discounts and premiums
     during the respective holding periods. Interest income is recorded on the
     accrual basis; dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--Each Fund, with the exception of Tax Free Money
     Fund, Virginia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Virginia Municipal Bond
     Fund, and Maryland Municipal Bond Fund may invest in repurchase agreements.
     The Funds, through their sub-custodian, receive delivery of the underlying
     securities, whose market value including interest is required to be at
     least 102% of the resale price. The Funds' investment advisor, Capitoline
     Investment Services Incorporated, is responsible for determining that

<PAGE>

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)                       CRESTFUNDS, INC.
November 30, 1996



     the value of these underlying securities remains at least 102% of the
     resale price. If the seller defaults, the Fund would suffer a loss to the
     extent that the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities were
     less than the resale price.

     USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--The Financial
     Statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
     accounting principles which permit management to make certain estimates and
     assumptions at the date of the financial statements.

5. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Virginia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, the Virginia Municipal Bond Fund,
and the Maryland Municipal Bond Fund invest in debt securities in their
respective states. The ability of the issuers of the securities held by the
Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic or political
conditions in that state.

6. AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS:
On September 20, 1996, the assets of Crestar Bank's Common Trust Funds: the
SouthEast Equity, Value, Tax Exempt and Bond Funds, consisting entirely of
securities and certain related receivables, were converted on a tax-free basis
into the Special Equity, Value, Virginia Intermediate Bond and Intermediate Bond
Funds, respectively. The number of shares issued for each fund and the net
assets of each fund (including net unrealized gain/loss) immediately before the
conversion were as follows:

The Shareholders and Board of Directors of CrestFunds, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of CrestFunds, Inc.
(comprised of the Cash Reserve Fund, U.S. Treasury Money Fund, Tax Free Money
Fund, Limited Term Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, Government Bond Fund,
Virginia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Virginia Municipal Bond Fund,
Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Value Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund and Special

and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the
periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
November 30, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where
replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the
portfolios constituting the CrestFunds, Inc. as of November 30, 1996, the
results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial
highlights for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
