THE PARKSTONE MUTUAL FUNDS                                         June 30, 1996


Dear Shareholders:

We are pleased to report that the 12 months ended June 30, 1996, were good ones
for the financial markets and for The Parkstone Mutual Funds. During the period,
the Dow Jones Industrial Average soared nearly 900 points higher and,
ultimately, fell just 12 points short of breaking through the 5800 level. And,
despite their ups and downs throughout the year, the fixed-income markets, too,
gained ground. During the period, investors continued to invest record amounts
in mutual funds--and we are pleased to report that many chose to do so with The
Parkstone Mutual Funds. Over the 12-month period, net assets under management
increased from $5.1 billion to $6.0 billion.

Small Capitalization Fund receives industry recognition

Most importantly, the performance of the Funds over the year was strong. We are
happy to report that several beat their industry benchmarks by a significant
margin, and the performance of the Parkstone Small Capitalization Fund was
particularly impressive. For the year ended June 30, 1996, the Fund produced a
total return of 49.93% and 50.03% for Investor A Shares and Institutional
Shares, respectively, versus a gain of nearly 24% in its benchmark, the Russell
2000 Index. Over the past five years, the Fund produced an average annual total
return of 28.89% and 29.09% for Investor A Shares and Institutional Shares,
respectively./1/

The outstanding performance of the Small Capitalization Fund has been publicly
recognized on several fronts. We are delighted to report that the Fund was--

 . Ranked by Lipper Analytical Services among the 50 best-performing stock funds
based on the total return for the one- and five-year periods ending June 28,
1996, as reported by The Wall Street Journal (July 3, 1996). For the one-year
period, the Fund ranked 27th out of 50; for the five-year period, it ranked 14th
out of 50./2/

 . Ranked by Morningstar in the top 6% of all small-company funds (23rd of 357)
for the one-year period and in the top 4% of all small-company funds (4th of
106) for the five-year period ending June 30, 1996./3/

 . Awarded five stars by Morningstar, out of 1,583 equity funds for the three
years ending June 30, 1996./4/ Both Investor and Institutional shares received
the five-star rating.

More good news 

 . The Parkstone Government Income Fund also was awarded five stars by
Morningstar and ranked in the top 7% of all government mortgage funds, 9th out
of 122 for the one-year period ending June 30, 1996./4/

 . The Parkstone Equity Fund posted a return of 29.57% (Investor A Shares) while
the benchmark, the S&P 400 Index, gained 21.58% over the same period./5/

/1/With the maximum 4.50% sales charge, Investor A Shares had a total return of
43.18% for the one-year period and an average annual return of 27.71% for the
five-year period. For the five-year period, Institutional Shares, which do not
have a sales charge, had an average annual return of 29.09%. Past  performance
is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate,
so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the
original cost.

/2/Performance rankings are based on total returns for the periods. Past
performance is no guarantee of future results.

/3/The rankings are based on data from Morningstar, Institutional Shares for
which evaluated cumulative one-year and five-year total returns for the periods
ending June 30, 1996. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

/4/The Small Capitalization Fund's Institutional Shares received a 5-star rating
based on its overall performance for the 1-,3- and 5-year periods ending June
30, 1996. The Fund's Investor A Shares received a 5-star overall ranking for its
3-year performance and a 4-star rating for its 1-year performance for the
periods ending June 30, 1996. The Fund was ranked among 2,882, 1,583 and 997
equity funds for the 1-,3- and 5-year periods. Morningstar proprietary ratings
reflect historical risk-adjusted performance and are calculated from a fund's 
3-and 5-year average annual returns with fee adjustments in excess of 90-day
Treasury bill returns and a risk factor that reflects fund performance below 
90-day Treasury bill returns. The one-year rating is calculated using the same
methodology but is not a component of the overall rating. The ratings are
subject to change every month. Ten percent of the funds in an investment
category receive 5 stars, and 22.5% receive 4 stars.

/5/With the maximum 4.50% sales charge, the Fund's total return was 23.74% for
the period. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

A range of equity opportunities

We're also pleased to report that the Parkstone Large Capitalization Fund was
successfully launched on December 28, 1995. The Fund seeks to invest in
companies with market capitalizations of $5 billion or more, long-established
track records and the potential for strong earnings growth. The Fund is intended
to complement the other equity funds we manage. With its introduction, our fund
family now offers shareholders a wide range of focused equity strategies.

The Fund provides investors with an opportunity to balance or further diversify
their equity holdings. While pursuing capital appreciation, it offers a
different level and kind of risk than, for instance, the Parkstone Small
Capitalization Fund or the Parkstone Equity Fund. Typically, in uncertain
environments, larger stocks tend to be less volatile than small or mid-cap
stocks. According to industry experts, as our economy slows in the months ahead,
we expect corporate profits to decline and volatility to increase.
Consequently, investments now in the Parkstone Large Capitalization Fund, or in
the International Discovery Fund, which invests in markets outside the U.S.
where growth is expected to increase, may prove to be very timely, indeed.

For more complete information on the Parkstone Large Capitalization Fund, or any
of The Parkstone Mutual Funds, including fees, expenses and sales charges,
please call 1-800-451-8377 for a prospectus, which you should read carefully
before investing or sending money.

In closing . . .

In the pages that follow, you will find a detailed discussion of the performance
of each of The Parkstone Mutual Funds during the 12 months ended June 30, 1996.
You will also find a letter from our Investment Adviser, which includes an
economic outlook for the coming months. We urge you to read this material
closely.

Finally, we thank you for your continued confidence in us. We look forward to
providing you with superior investment management and serving your needs now and
in the years ahead. As always, if you have any questions or require any
assistance, please don't hesitate to call us at 1-800-451-8377.

THE PARKSTONE MUTUAL FUNDS                                         June 30, 1996



Dear Fellow Shareholders:

If there's a lesson to be learned as we approach the second half of 1996, it's
"don't believe everything you read in the papers." Over the past several months,
none of the negatives that affected growth in 1995, such as severe weather,
government layoffs and strikes, were present. Housing, vehicle sales and
employment growth all increased. As a result, when the preliminary estimate of
economic growth for the second quarter was released in August, it was a whopper,
as we had expected--4.2%, far above the 2.5% the Federal Reserve considers
noninflationary.

Just as weak economic growth in the fourth quarter of 1995 prompted the media to
predict an imminent recession earlier in the year, these new statistics are sure
to produce a flurry of reports, articles and analysis on our "runaway economy"--
and, of course, how it threatens to accelerate inflation.

The fat lady is warming up in the wings...

While growth statistics are bound to be very impressive, we believe that our
economy is not preparing to shift gears and suddenly move into the fast lane. We
expect growth to drop off in the second half of the year, and, contrary to
popular opinion, there is ample reason to believe that this slowdown will not be
entirely due to any action on the part of the Federal Reserve.

We've now caught up with inventory backlogs and other distortions that have
existed in the economy over the last nine months. Tax refunds have been spent.
Inventories have been replaced. Consumers are somewhat overextended, and
interest rates are rising. In short, we feel that the peak of the economic
growth cycle is upon us now, and it is very unlikely that the current rate of
growth can be sustained much longer. It is even less likely that we'll see
higher levels of activity in the remainder of the year.

If, however, we are wrong and, for some unforeseen reason, growth remains in the
range of 4%, we would expect to see signs of increasing inflation--which would
very likely cause the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates quickly and
significantly, thus slowing the economy. Indeed, while the Federal Reserve did
not raise interest rates at its Open Market Committee Meeting in early July,
Chairman Greenspan could initiate such a move at or before the next FOMC meeting
scheduled for August 20.

A little squeeze or a big freeze?
Consequently, it is clear that--despite what you may read in the papers--our
economy is likely to decelerate rather than accelerate in the second half of the
year. The next question becomes: How much will it slow?

There are a number of factors that can influence immediate growth significantly.
For instance, if corporations continue their downsizing efforts to maintain
profit margins--as corporate profit growth declines on an overall basis--the
results could have a negative effect on the economy.  Interest rates, too, have
risen in recent months. If the impact of higher rates on the housing market is,
in fact, greater than we have seen so far, this could also slow the economy.
Consequently, it is extremely difficult to predict how deep a drop-off may be or
how long it will last.

Correction-created opportunities
What we do know is that increases in interest rates and declining corporate
profits make further gains in the stock market unlikely any time in the near
future. At best, over the next several months, we would expect to see stocks
trade in a neutral range. At worst, we may see a market correction of some 10%
or more. However, this worst-case scenario may be the best-case scenario for
stock investors. We believe that, long term, the prospects for stocks are very
positive--and a correction could be an exceptional buying opportunity.

The next several months should also create opportunity in the bond markets. We
expect interest rates to continue trending downward well into the next century.
While it seems unlikely that long-term rates would rise to 8% or more over the
next several months, if this should happen, long-term fixed-income investors may
be well advised to take advantage of the situation--as higher interest rates
mean lower bond prices.

When the fat lady sings...
Consequently, while the road just ahead may be somewhat rocky for many
investors, we encourage our shareholders to continue to view both the stock and
bond markets with a long-term perspective. We believe the next six months will
prove to be a period of exceptional opportunity in the financial markets. In
fact, when and if the Fat Lady sings, we plan to stand up, cheer--and take full
advantage of the situation.


Sincerely,

THE PARKSTONE MUTUAL FUNDS                                         JUNE 30, 1996



The following fund-specific discussions are intended to help you understand the
performance of your investment in The Parkstone Mutual Funds. The charts
represent the growth of a $10,000 investment in each of The Parkstone Mutual
Funds since its inception. The ending balance on June 30, 1996, shows how your
account would have grown had you invested $10,000 when the Fund was introduced.
Performance for Investor A, B, C and Institutional Shares is represented by a
blue line. We've also included the growth of an appropriate market index for
your reference. Past performance is not indicative of future performance.

                                  EQUITY FUND

We're pleased to report that during the year ended June 30, 1996, the Fund's
transition to a "mid-cap" fund--one emphasizing investment in companies with
capitalizations between $750 million and $5 billion--was successfully completed.
At the end of the period, the Fund was more widely diversified, with investments
in more than 70 different companies. Moreover, while our holdings in the
technology sector decreased slightly, our investments in the financial and
consumer goods sectors were increased. Consequently, the Fund was well
represented in three of the strongest- performing areas of the market during the
year.

It was a very good year
Despite waves of anxiety that swept through the marketplace on the heels of each
bulletin on interest rates, inflation and economic growth, the market continued
to reward companies exhibiting strong and predictable earnings growth. Focused
on such companies, the Fund benefited handsomely. In the consumer cyclical
sector, our holdings in Hospitality Franchise System, Inc., which franchises
hotels and operates real estate brokerages, and Petsmart, the largest operator
of pet supply stores in the U.S., made substantial contributions to performance,
returning 40% and 32%, respectively, in the latest quarter. Among our technology
holdings, two software companies were standout performers: GT Interactive and
McAfee Associates, advancing 56% and 32%, respectively, for the most recent
quarter.

As a result, the Fund beat its benchmark handily for the period. We're very
pleased to report that for the year ended June 30, 1996, the Fund posted a total
return of 29.57% (Investor A Shares),+ versus a gain of 21.58% in the S&P 400
Mid-Cap Index over the same period.

Bright long-term prospects
Currently, slightly over 20% of the portfolio's assets are invested in
technology and technology-related companies, with approximately 20% in consumer
cyclicals, 15% in health care and the remainder invested across the market in a
wide range of industries. While we are optimistic about the prospects for the
market over the long term, stock selection will be critical in the months ahead.
With this in mind, we will continue to seek out and invest in those companies
with solid balance sheets and the potential to be industry leaders over the
long-term.

As of June 30, 1996, the Fund's top five holdings were Hospitality Franchise
Systems (4.83%), Ceridian Corp. (2.77%), Service Corp. International (2.68%),
Parametric Technology Corp. (2.62%) and HealthSouth Corp. (2.49%).++ 


- ----------------
+  The total return with the maximum 4.50% sales charge was 23.74% for the
   period.
++ The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

***  Reflects Applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charge

Until recently, the Fund had invested in stocks of mid-sized and large
companies. As a result, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index had been an
appropriate performance benchmark, since it is a broad measure of the U.S. stock
market as a whole. However, the Fund's performance is now being compared to the
Standard & Poor's Mid-Cap 400 Index to better reflect the Fund's new focus on
the mid-cap sector of the U.S. stock market. The index is unmanaged and does not
reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment
management and fund accounting fees. The performance of the Parkstone Equity
Fund reflects the deduction of fees for these value-added services. Past
performance is not predictive of future results. The investment return and NAV
will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than the original cost.

THE PARKSTONE MUTUAL FUNDS                                         JUNE 30, 1996


                            HIGH INCOME EQUITY FUND

Positioned to provide investors with growth potential on market upswings and
protection on downdrafts, the Fund performed exceptionally well in the strong
market of the year ended June 30, 1996. During much of the year, tech stocks led
the market higher, but since few of these stocks offer income potential, the
Fund had little representation in this sector.

Nevertheless, the market recognized and rewarded the quality of our holdings in
other industries. Among the portfolio's outstanding performers were Coca-Cola
and Intimate Brands, the owner of Victoria's Secret and Bath and Body Works.
Both rose 18% over the most recent quarter. American Home Products gained 11%.
Convertible bonds from HFS, Inc., a national hotel franchiser, and Phycor, a
medical services company, posted gains of 17%. Moreover, the value of the Fund's
holdings in Xerox and Emerson Electric rose 28% and 12%, respectively, in the
latest quarter.

As a result, for the year ended June 30, 1996, the Fund posted a total return of
25.05% (Investor A Shares)+ versus its industry benchmark, the S&P 500, which--
including the stunning gains of technology stocks--advanced 26.00% during the
same period.

Fine-tuning for the future
Looking ahead, we expect to continue to seek out opportunities that offer our
investors a combination of current income and solid long-term growth potential.
Our investment in Intimate Brands is a good example of this strategy. Currently,
the stock offers investors a yield in the range of 2%, and the company is
growing at a rate of 20% annually. We expect both the value of the company's
stock and its yield to increase in the years ahead. Currently, similar
situations can also be found throughout the retail industry and in the water
utilities sector, where privatization has increased the industry's growth
potential.

As of June 30, 1996, the Fund's top five holdings were Eli Lilly (3.16%), MBNA
Corp. (3.09%), Emerson Electric (3.08%), Xerox Corp. (3.01%) and Sears Roebuck
(2.91%). ++

+  The total return with the maximum 4.50% sales charge was 19.45%   for the
   period.

THE PARKSTONE MUTUAL FUNDS                                         JUNE 30, 1996

                           LARGE CAPITALIZATION FUND

Introduced just six months ago on December 28, 1995, the Fund invests primarily
in shares of companies that lead their industries and have market capitali-
zations of $5 billion or more, established track records, stable management and
above-average growth prospects. This strategy is designed to capitalize on the
growth potential and relatively low share price volatility that these stocks
typically offer.

A promising start
Overweighted in two of the market's best- performing sectors, technology and
consumer- related industries, the Fund's first six months of operations were
successful ones. Among our technology holdings, Cisco Systems and Oracle Systems
moved dramatically higher, advancing 52% and 40%, respectively.  Standout
performers in the consumer-related sector included Coca-Cola, which gained 32%
over the period, and Nike, which raced 48% higher.

Outstanding potential
While it is far too early to judge the performance of the Fund, we are extremely
pleased with initial results. Since the Fund's inception on February 1, 1996, it
has had a total return of 8.99% (Investor A Shares),+ versus a gain of 6.53% in
its benchmark, the S&P 500.

Although the market may be somewhat rocky in the near term, we believe that the
long-term prospects for stocks are very bright. Nevertheless, we also believe
that quality will be critical to success. To this end, we will continue to
analyze stocks and companies individually rather than making industry or sector
bets, or attempting to time the market.  Moreover, we will continue to seek out
and invest only in those companies with powerful earnings records and strong
growth prospects--leaders in their industries today, with the potential to
remain leaders into the 21st Century.

As of June 30, 1996, the Fund's top five holdings were Oracle Corp. (2.91%),
Federal National Mortgage Association (2.78%), First Data Corp. (2.74%),
Kimberly-Clark (2.34%) and American International Group (2.30%).++

                          SMALL CAPITALIZATION FUND*

Stock selection was the key to the Fund's superb performance in the relatively
unsettled market of the past year. Despite the hiccup in the technology sector
in late December, investor anxiety over economic growth in the spring and
interest-rate worries throughout the period, the market continued to reward
companies with strong fundamentals and powerful earnings potential. With its
focus on such companies, the Fund profited as holdings in all sectors
contributed positively to performance.

Some gains were dramatic over the past year. Corrections Corp. of America, a
prison management firm, rose 300%, and Wackenhut, a provider of security
services, moved up 193%. In the technology sector, McAfee Associates gained
263%, and Systemsoft advanced 224% over the period. In the health-care sector,
our holdings in Quintiles Transnational Corp. and Dura Pharmaceuticals gained
190% and 193%, respectively.

As a result, we are extremely pleased to report that for the year ended June 30,
1996, the Fund generated a total return of 49.93% (Investor A Shares)+--far
surpassing its industry benchmark, the Russell 2000, which advanced 23.93%
during the same period.

Investing with strength in mind
In the months ahead, we expect to continue our present strategy. We will
continue to seek out and invest in the strongest small-capitalization companies
across all market sectors. Because the fundamentals of the companies we select
are so strong, we believe their prospects are solid, regardless of the
environment.

Nevertheless, as we've seen over the past several years, some market sectors
offer more opportunity than others. Clearly, the demand for health care and
technology products is growing dramatically today and will continue to do so in
the foreseeable future. We would view any correction or adjustment in these
sectors as a serious buying opportunity.

As of June 30, 1996, the Fund was broadly diversified with holdings in over 80
companies.  The Fund's top five holdings were McAfee Associates (3.27%),
Omnicare (3.01%), Concord EFS (2.80%), Regal Cinemas (2.62%) and Credit
Acceptance Corp. (2.54%). ++

- --------------
*  Small-cap funds typically carry additional risks since smaller companies
   generally have a higher risk of failure. Historically, stocks of smaller
   companies have experienced a greater degree of market volatility than stocks
   on average.
+  The total return with the maximum 4.50% sales charge was 43.18% for the
   period.
++ The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

                         INTERNATIONAL DISCOVERY FUND*

After five years of no growth, the Japanese economy began to show strong signs
of life in the first half of 1996. Moreover, high-quality growth stocks, which
had been out of favor with investors in the second half of 1995, bounced back
smartly with the new year. The only fly in the international ointment was the
strength of the U.S. dollar, which was a drag on performance throughout the
year. But this appears to be changing as interest rates in Europe have begun to
rise, making the dollar less attractive to foreign investors.

What began as a relatively mixed year for the Fund ended on a very positive
note. We're pleased to report that for the 12 months ended June 30, 1996, the
Fund outperformed its industry benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, with a total
return of 14.65% (Investor A Shares),+ versus a gain of 13.28% for the index.

A positive outlook
We believe the year ahead will be a good one in international markets as the
Japanese economy continues to improve and other markets around the world,
particularly those in the Pacific region and Latin America, strengthen and
expand. Continental Europe, too, offers opportunity. Companies there are only
now beginning the downsizing process that started some years ago in the U.S.
Even with relatively slow economic growth on the Continent, investors should see
profit margins expand substantially as European companies become more efficient.
Consequently, we would view a correction or drop in these markets as a buying
opportunity since we believe that, long term, the prospects for international
investors are very bright.

Positioned for growth
As of June 30, 1996, the Fund was widely diversified, with over 85 holdings in
29 markets around the world. Approximately 33% of the Fund's assets were
invested in Continental Europe, 27% in Japan, 11% in smaller Pacific Basin
markets, 11% in the United Kingdom, 6% in Latin America and 4% in Canada. During
the period, the Fund also added securities from Israel, South Korea and the
Philippines to its portfolio.

At the end of the period, the Fund's top five holdings were BIC (France; 2.45%),
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Japan; 2.39%), Oce-Van Der Grinten (Netherlands,
2.10%), Rohm Corp. (Japan; 2.06%) and Takeda Chemical (Japan; 1.92%).++

- -----------------
*  International investing is subject to certain risk factors such as currency
   exchange-rate volatility, possible political, social or economic instability,
   foreign taxation and/or differences in auditing and other financial
   standards.
+  The total return with the maximum sales charge of 4.50% was 9.46% for the
   period.
++ The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

THE PARKSTONE MUTUAL FUNDS                                         JUNE 30, 1996

                               THE BALANCED FUND

Timely asset allocation decisions were the key to the Fund's strong performance
over the year ended June 30, 1996. Throughout much of the period, approximately
50% of the Fund's portfolio was invested in stocks, a far more conservative
commitment to equities than many funds of this kind made to stocks during the
period.

However, with holdings in small-cap stocks and the addition of an international
component earlier in the period, the Fund participated as small-cap stocks took
the market higher and benefited as our international holdings performed
competitively with U.S. stocks. Moreover, these holdings performed more
consistently throughout the year than the U.S. market, which helped reduce the
potential volatility of the portfolio. As a result, despite rising interest
rates, which depressed fixed-income returns, the Fund posted a solid total
return of 17.51% (Investor A Shares )+ for the year ended June 30, 1996.

Large caps should shine
During the market's climb of the past several years, smaller stocks have clearly
led the pack and larger stocks have followed. But, as the saying goes, nothing
lasts forever, and that's particularly true in the stock market. In the months
ahead, we expect to see the situation reverse to some extent as investors seek
out larger-cap stocks in an effort to help reduce risk in a more uncertain
environment. As a result, in recent months, our commitment to the small-cap
sector has decreased from 12% of the portfolio's equity holdings to 6%. Our
holdings in mid-cap stocks have also been reduced, while exposure in large-
capitalization stocks has been increased. We expect to maintain this allocation
in the near term.

As of June 30, 1996, approximately 51% of the portfolio was invested in stocks,
with 46% in fixed-income securities and 3% in cash equivalents. The Fund's top
five equity holdings as of that date were Oracle Corp. (1.33%), Gillette
(1.06%), Cisco Systems (1.05%), First Data Corp. (.92%) and Hospitality
Franchise System (.89%).++ The average maturity of these securities was 9.81
years.


- --------------
+  The total return with the maximum 4.50% sales charge was 12.27% for the
   period.
++ The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

                            THE FIXED-INCOME FUNDS

Overall, the 12 months ended June 30, 1996, were frustrating ones for fixed-
income investors. In the second half of 1995, the markets rallied in reaction to
reports of a slowing economy and the Federal Reserve's moves to lower short-term
interest rates. As the new year opened, however, evidence that the economy was
stronger than anticipated began to appear. Always just beneath the surface, the
market's fears of inflation emerged, and repeatedly reinforced reports of
expanding growth and low unemployment caused the bond markets to decline in the
first half of 1996.

Given the circumstances, we approached the markets very cautiously throughout
the year. As a result, the Funds slightly lagged their benchmarks. Nevertheless,
we feel our conservative approach served investors well during the period.
Performing as they were intended to do, the Funds made strong gains in the
positive environment of 1995 and weathered the difficult climate of 1996.

The Parkstone Limited Maturity Bond Fund
While all fixed-income securities suffered to some degree as interest rates rose
in the first half of 1995, corporate securities performed much better than many
others. Heavily weighted in this sector throughout the year ended June 30, 1996,
the Fund benefited as corporate profits--while no longer growing at the
astounding pace of just a year ago--stayed strong and investors showed their
appreciation. The Fund's holdings in the mortgage-backed sector also contributed
to performance. Hampered by investors' anxiety over prepayment risk throughout
1995, this sector rebounded smartly as rising interest rates chased these fears
away. For the 12 months ended June 30, 1996, the Fund produced a total return of
4.37% (Investor A Shares).+

As of the same date, approximately 74% of the portfolio was invested in
corporate securities and 20% in U.S. Treasury and agency-related securities.
The average credit quality of the portfolio's holdings was AAA.++  



- ------------
+  The total return with the maximum sales charge of 4.00% was 0.24% for the
   period.
++ The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

The Bond Fund
Asset allocation was the key to the Fund's solid performance in the up-and-down
markets of the year ended June 30, 1996. In the latter half of 1995, the Fund
was underweighted in mortgage-backed issues, which suffered from a severe case
of "prepayment jitters" in the low interest-rate environment, and overweighted
in corporate securities, which shone as corporate profits skyrocketed. Then, in
the first half of 1996, we moved quickly to increase the Fund's exposure in
mortgage-backed securities as rates rose and worries about prepayments
disappeared. Holdings in U.S. Treasury securities, which fell out of favor
rapidly, were decreased. As a result, despite the relatively negative
environment for fixed-income securities in the past six months, the Fund posted
a return of 4.27% (Investor A Shares)+ for the year ended June 30, 1996.

In the months ahead, we expect to see the mortgage-backed sector continue to
perform well.

We believe that corporate securities remain fundamentally sound. Nonetheless,
profits are anticipated to drop off in the second half of the year. While a
decline should be gradual rather than drastic, after several years of stunning
earnings reports, the markets may react dramatically. As a result, security
selection will be critical to success in the months ahead, and we will focus
closely on the quality and structure of all issues considered for investment.

At the period's end, approximately, 44% of the Fund's assets were invested in
corporate bonds, 25% in mortgage-backed securities and 25% in U.S. Treasury
securities. The average credit quality of the portfolio's holdings was AA.++  



- -----------------
+  The total return with the maximum sales charge of 4.00% was 0.13% for the
   period.
++ The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

The Fund's performance is compared to the Salomon Brothers Broad Index, which
represents the performance of the overall bond market. The index is unmanaged
and does not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such
as investment management and fund accounting fees. The performance of the
Parkstone Bond Fund reflects the deduction of fees for these value-added
services. Past performance is not predictive of future results. The investment
return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may
be worth more or less than the original cost.

The Intermediate Government Obligations Fund
Throughout much of the period, the Fund held primarily U.S. Government and
agency securities--solid performers that benefited from the drop in interest
rates throughout 1995, and then, as rates rose, fell out of favor with
investors. At the same time, however, mortgage-backed securities staged a
comeback as prepayment fears evaporated in the face of rising rates. With some
13.5% of its assets invested in the mortgage-backed sector, the Fund was well
positioned to capitalize as it strengthened.

Moreover, the firmness of our mortgage-backed holdings worked to lessen the
impact of the market's volatility throughout the first half of 1996 and protect
shareholders' capital. For the year ended June 30, 1996, we're pleased to report
that the Fund produced a total return of 3.69% (Investor A Shares).+

As of the same date, the Fund held approximately 69% of its assets in U.S.
Treasury securities, 14% in mortgage-backed securities and 18% in U.S.
Government agency issues.++  Should interest rates continue to rise in the
coming months, we anticipate increasing the Fund's weighting slightly in
mortgage-backed securities. Nevertheless, we would do so very selectively and
will maintain our high quality standards--firm in the belief that high-quality
intermediate issues will continue to provide investors with the best opportunity
to earn current, dependable income. 

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

+  The total return with the maximum sales charge of 4.00% was
   -0.43% for the period.
++ The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

The U.S. Government Income Fund

Some fixed-income investments suffered less than others as interest rates rose
in the first half of 1996. Lackluster performers in the low-rate environment of
1995, mortgage-backed securities bounced back as interest rates rose and
prepayment fears vanished. Concentrated in higher-yielding, mortgage pass-
through securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, the Fund performed well
as mortgage-backed securities recovered strongly. Moreover, the portfolio's core
holdings of seasoned, high-coupon paper (primarily small, government-assisted
loans paying between 12% and 16%), maintained their value despite the volatility
of the environment, making a substantial contribution to performance.

As a result, we are very pleased to report that for the year ended June 30,
1996, the Fund produced a total return of 5.97% (Investor A Shares).+

As of June 30, 1996, approximately 69% of the Fund's assets were invested in
mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage obligations, with 31% in U.S.
Treasury and agency securities.++ Since we expect interest rates to rise
slightly in the months ahead, we believe mortgage-backed securities will
continue to perform well. As a result, we do not anticipate making any major
changes in the Fund's allocation or maturity structure in the near term.

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

+  The total return with the maximum sales charge of 4.00% was 1.76% for the
   period.
++ The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

                           THE MUNICIPAL BOND FUNDS

Much like the taxable markets, the tax-free markets had a volatile year as
investors reacted--and occasionally, overreacted--to reports on the economy's
growth, the direction of interest rates and various tax-reform proposals. Yet,
as the Presidential primary season wound down, the possibility of radical tax
reform any time soon appeared to grow more and more remote. The resurgence in
inflation was a more immediate concern as robust statistics on the economy's
growth unsettled investors in the second half of the period. Interest rates
rose, and fixed-income markets across the board declined.

In this environment, we approached the markets very cautiously and made no
attempt to second-guess the direction of interest rates, the economy or investor
sentiment. As a result, the Funds slightly underperformed industry averages.
Given the circumstances, however, we feel our caution was justified and served
investors well as rates climbed and both Funds produced positive returns for the
12 months ended June 30, 1996.

In the months ahead, we expect to continue to approach the markets cautiously.
Until the direction of the economy and interest rates becomes clearer, investor
sentiment is unlikely to shift dramatically. As a result, no major changes in
the allocation or maturity structure of either portfolio is anticipated in the
near term.

The Municipal Bond Fund
The last half of 1995 was a good one for the Fund, and then, like most funds of
this type, performance fell off as rates began to climb in early 1996.  Working
quickly to minimize the impact, we moved maturities in line with industry
averages. In addition, we emphasized investments in premium bonds that were not
expected to be called in early, in order to lessen the effects of the market's
volatility. As a result, despite the excitement of the past six months, we're
pleased to report that for the year ended June 30, 1996, the Fund produced a
total return of 4.29% (Investor A Shares).+

At the end of the period, more than 70% of the Fund's holdings were AAA rated.
The average maturity of our holdings was 8.43 years. The portfolio was widely
diversified, with a maximum of 7% of its assets currently invested in any one
state.++  

- ---------------
+  The total return with the maximum sales charge of 4.00% was 0.15% for the
   period.
++ The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

The Fund's performance is compared to the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index,
which represents the performance of the municipal bond market as a whole. The
index is unmanaged and does not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a
mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The
performance of the Parkstone Municipal Bond Fund reflects the deduction of fees
for these value-added services. Past performance is not predictive of future
results. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investors
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

The Michigan Municipal Bond Fund
While much less tumultuous than the national markets, the Michigan municipal
market saw some volatility and declined in the face of rising interest rates. We
worked as quickly as possible, however, to minimize the effects of the shift in
investor sentiment by shortening maturities. In addition, much as we did in the
Municipal Bond Fund, we emphasized investments in premium bonds with attractive
call features over discount bonds. Unlike discount bonds, these issues do not
snap rapidly upward in response to market rallies, but more important for a
market such as this, they have tended to do a better job of maintaining value in
downward-trending markets.

As a result of these efforts, we are pleased to report that for the year ended
June 30, 1996, the Fund posted a total return of 4.87% (Investor A Shares).+ As
of the same date, the average maturity of the Fund was 8.71 years, and the
average credit quality of the holdings in the portfolio was AA.++

- ---------------
+   The total return with the maximum sales charge of 4.00% was 0.65% for the
    period.

THE PARKSTONE MUTUAL FUNDS                                         JUNE 30, 1996


                            THE MONEY MARKET FUNDS*

It was a roller-coaster year in the money markets. Throughout much of the second
half of 1995, investors anticipated that interest rates would decline. Yet, as
1996 began, reports of stronger-than-expected economic growth sparked
inflationary fears, and rates rose rapidly. Throughout the spring, as data
continued to reinforce the view that the economy was accelerating, investors
began to expect the Federal Reserve Board to increase rates to dampen
inflationary pressure. If past history is any guide, however, the Federal
Reserve is more likely to move more slowly and cautiously than investors expect.

Nevertheless, we would not be surprised to see rates hiked before the end of the
year in an effort to slow the economy's growth. Given this expectation, we
continue to approach the markets very cautiously.  Maturities have been pulled
in slightly to the 40-day range in an effort to position the Funds to take
advantage of the steepening yield curve as interest rates move higher.

 .  The Prime Obligations Fund: As of June 30, 1996, approximately 20% of the
Fund's assets were invested in overnight securities, and the Fund's average
maturity was 41 days.

 .  The U.S. Government Obligations Fund: As of June 30, 1996, approximately 40%
of the Fund's assets were invested in overnight securities, and the Fund's
average maturity equaled 43 days.  

 .  The Treasury Fund: Approximately 70% of the Fund's assets were invested in
repurchase agreements as of June 30, 1996, and the Fund's average maturity was
41 days. 

 .  The Tax-Free Fund:* As of June 30, 1996, the average maturity of the
portfolio was approximately 56 days.

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

*  The Fund's income may be subject to certain state and local taxes and,
depending on an investor's tax status, the federal alternative minimum tax.

For each of the performance charts, Investor A Share returns reflect the maximum
sales charge and the payment of an annual .25% 12b-1 fee; Investor B Share
returns reflect the imposition of the CDSC and the payment of an annual .75%
distribution fee and a .25% service fee. Investor B Shares are sold at net asset
value subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Investor C Share returns
reflect an annual .75% distribution fee and a .25% service fee.  Institutional
Share returns reflect no sales charge and no 12b-1 fee. Prior to March 31, 1993,
each of The Parkstone Mutual Funds contained a single class of shares for which
no 12b-1 fees were charged. The maximum sales charge was assessed but was not
chargeable to investors currently included within the Institutional Class of
Shares. Had the Funds not created separate classes of shares, the performance
returns would have been different.

An investment in the Funds is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
Government. There can be no assurance that the Funds will be able to maintain a
stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

The Parkstone Mutual Funds are a family of mutual funds that are distributed by
BISYS Fund Services. For more complete information on any of The Parkstone
Mutual Funds, including fees, expenses and sales charges, please call 1-800-451-

THE PARKSTONE GROUP OF FUNDS                                       June 30, 1996



To the Shareholders and Trustees of
 The Parkstone Group of Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of The
Parkstone Group of Funds (comprising, respectively, the Prime Obligations Fund,
U.S. Government Obligations Fund, Treasury Fund, Tax-Free Fund,  High Income
Equity Fund, Large Capitalization Fund, Equity Fund, Small Capitalization Fund,
International Discovery Fund, Balanced Fund, Limited Maturity Bond Fund,
Intermediate Government Obligations Fund, U.S. Government Income Fund, Bond
Fund, Municipal Bond Fund, and Michigan Municipal Bond Fund), including the
schedules of portfolio investments, as of June 30, 1996, and the related
statements of operations, statements 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 Parkstone Group of  Funds'
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
June 30, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or other auditing
procedures where confirmations from brokers were not received.  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, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the respective funds comprising The Parkstone Group of Funds as of June 30,
1996, and the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets
and the financial highlights for the periods referred to above in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

    (collectively, "the variable net asset value funds"): Investor A, Investor
    B, Investor C and Institutional. The Investor A shares of the variable net
    asset value funds are subject to initial sales charges imposed at the time
    of purchase, in accordance with the Funds' prospectuses. Certain redemptions
    of Investor B shares made within four years of purchase and Investor C
    shares made within one year of purchase are subject to contingent deferred
    sales charges in accordance with the Funds' prospectuses. The Institutional
    shares are not subject to sales charges or redemption fees. Each class of
    shares for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect
    to distribution (12b-1) fees paid by the Investor A, Investor B and Investor
    C shares, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares and
    the exchange privileges of each class of shares. Effective October 11, 1995,
    the Group no longer offers Investor C shares of the Municipal Bond Fund or
    the Michigan Municipal Bond Fund.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies:

    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
    the Group in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are
    in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The
    preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates
    and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
    at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income
    and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those
    estimates.

     Securities Valuation:
     
     Investments of the money market funds are valued at either amortized cost,
     which approximates market value, or at original cost, which combined with
     accrued interest approximates market value. Under the amortized cost
     method, discount or premium is amortized on a constant basis to the
     maturity of the security. In addition, the money market funds may not (a)
     purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than thirteen
     months unless such instrument is subject to a demand feature, or (b)
     maintain a dollar-weighted-average portfolio maturity which exceeds 90
     days.

     Investments in common and preferred stocks, corporate bonds, commercial
     paper, municipal and foreign government bonds and U.S. Government
     securities of the variable net asset value funds are valued at their market
     values determined on the basis of the mean between the latest available bid
     and asked prices in the principal market (closing sales prices if the
     principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally
     traded. Investments in foreign securities in the Balanced Fund and the
     International Discovery Fund are valued based on quotations from the
     primary market in which they are traded. The differences between the cost
     and market values of investments held by the variable net asset value funds
     are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

     Security Transactions and Related Income:
     
     Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is
     purchased or sold (trade date). Interest income is recognized on the
     accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the pro rata amortization of
     premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
     Gains or losses realized from sales of securities are determined by
     comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales
     proceeds.

     Foreign Currency Translation:

     The market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities of
     the International Discovery Fund and Balanced Fund denominated in a foreign
     currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate.
     Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
     translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the dates of the
     transactions.

     The Balanced Fund and the International Discovery Fund isolate that portion
     of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange
     rates from the fluctuation arising from changes in market prices of
     securities held.

     Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and
     maturities of portfolio securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency
     exchange fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates of securities
     transactions, and the difference between the amounts of assets and
     liabilities recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually
     received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise
     from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including investments
     in securities, resulting from changes in currency exchange rates.

     Repurchase Agreements:

     The Funds may acquire repurchase agreements from member banks of the
     Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation with capital, surplus and undivided
     profits in excess of $100,000,000 (as of the date of their most recently
     published financial statements) and from registered broker/dealers which
     FIC deems creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees,
     subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase such securities at a
     mutually agreed-upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals
     the price paid by a Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current
     short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying
     portfolio securities. The seller, under a repurchase agreement, is required
     to maintain the value of collateral held pursuant to the agreement at not
     less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Securities
     subject to repurchase agreements are held by the Funds' custodian or
     another qualified custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry
     system. Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans by a Fund under
     the 1940 Act.

     Reverse Repurchase Agreements:

     The Funds may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements, pursuant to
     which the Funds would sell portfolio securities to financial institutions
     such as banks and broker-dealers, and agree to repurchase them at a
     mutually agreed-upon date and price. At the time a Fund enters into a
     reverse repurchase agreement, it will place in a segregated custodial
     account assets having a value equal to the repurchase price (including
     accrued interest), and will subsequently continually monitor the account to
     ensure that such equivalent value is maintained at all times. Reverse
     repurchase agreements are considered to be borrowings by a Fund under the
     1940 Act.

     Forward Currency Contracts:

     The Funds may enter into a forward currency contract ("Forward") which is
     an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price
     on a future date. The market value of the Forward fluctuates with changes
     in currency exchange rates. The Forward is marked-to-market daily and the
     change in market value is recorded by a Fund as unrealized appreciation or
     depreciation. When the forward is closed the Fund records a realized gain
     or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened
     and the value at the time it was closed. A Fund could be exposed to risk if
     a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a Forward or if the value of
     the currency changes unfavorably.

     Lending Portfolio Securities:

     In order to generate additional income, the Funds (subject to limitations)
     may lend their portfolio securities to broker-dealers, banks, or
     institutional borrowers of securities which have been determined
     creditworthy under guidelines established by the Group's Board of Trustees
     in exchange for 100% collateral consisting of cash or securities.

     During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower pays the
     Fund any dividends or interest received on such securities. Loans are
     subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time. While a
     Fund does not

     have the right to vote securities on loan, each Fund intends to terminate
     the loan and regain the right to vote it that is considered important with
     respect to the investment. In the event the borrower defaults on its
     obligation to a Fund, such Fund bears the risk of delay in the recovery of
     its portfolio securities and the risk of loss of rights in the collateral.

     At June 30, 1996, the following funds had loaned securities with the
     following market value (amounts in thousands):

           Limited Maturity Fund...........                  9,942
</TABLE>

     The loaned securities were fully collateralized with cash or securities on
     deposit with the Group's custodian.

     Options Transactions:

     In order to hedge investment positions and facilitate buying and selling
     securities, the variable net asset value funds may purchase call and put
     options and may write covered call options on individual securities and
     futures contracts. By writing call options, the variable net asset value
     funds receive a premium and become obligated during the term of the option
     to sell securities at a set price if the option is exercised. The variable
     net asset value funds will write only covered call options, thereby owning
     the underlying securities in the case of call options. To cover put
     options, the variable net asset value funds will segregate cash or
     securities with a value at least equal to the exercise price. The risk in
     writing options is that the market value of the underlying securities could
     move in the opposite direction from what is anticipated. The variable net
     asset value funds also have the additional risk of not being able to enter
     into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist. The
     High Income Equity Fund, the Large Capitalization Fund, the Equity Fund,
     and the Small Capitalization Fund may use index options also. Options on
     indices are similar to options on securities except that, rather than the
     right to take or make delivery of securities at a specified price, options
     on indices gives the holder the right to receive, upon exercise of the
     options, an amount of cash if the closing level of the indices upon which
     the options are based are greater than, in the case of a call, or less
     than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the options. In contrast
     to exchange-traded options, the variable net asset value funds may also
     write over-the-counter options where the completion of the obligation is
     dependent upon the credit standing of the other party. Upon writing a
     covered option, an amount equal to the premium is recorded by the variable
     net asset value funds as an asset and liability.

     The asset or liability is marked-to-market each day to reflect the current
     value of the option, resulting in unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
     The variable net asset value funds will realize a gain or loss upon
     expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is
     exercised, the premium amount is added to the proceeds from selling call
     options or subtracted from the cost of purchasing put options.

     Dividends to Shareholders:

     Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly
     for the money market funds. Dividends from net investment income are
     declared and paid monthly for the variable net asset value funds.
     Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and
     distributed annually.

     Dividends from net investment income and from net realized capital gains
     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 mortgage-backed securities, 
     foreign currency transactions, expiring capital

     loss carry forwards and losses. Accordingly, timing differences relating to
     shareholder deferrals of certain distributions are reflected in the
     components of net assets and permanent book and tax differences relating to
     shareholder distributions have been reclassified to additional paid-in
     capital.

     Federal Income Taxes:

     It is the policy of each of the Funds to continue to qualify as a regulated
     investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain
     investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal
     Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net
     realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially
     all, federal income taxes.
     
     Other:

     Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged directly
     to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Group are prorated to the
     Funds on the basis of relative net assets.

     Reclassifications:

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
     statements and financial highlights in order to conform to the current
     period presentation.

     the relative net assets of each class of shares as of April 1, 1993 and the
     results combined therewith the results of operations and distributions for
     each applicable class for the period April 1, 1993 through June 30, 1993.
