THE COMPASS CAPITAL GROUP OF FUNDS
INTERNATIONAL FIXED INCOME FUND
Dear Shareholder,
The International Fixed Income Fund invests principally in top quality,
fixed income securities denominated in foreign currencies. The investment
adviser has the discretion to hedge foreign currency exposure back to the dollar
to protect the fund against adverse currency moves.
For the eleven months ended January 31, 1996, the International Fixed
Income Fund provided a total return of 16.79%. This return exceeded the Salomon
Brothers Non-U.S. Hedged World Government Bond Index, which had a return of
16.50% over the same period.
The exceptionally strong returns posted by the global bond markets in 1995
were a result of weaker than expected growth and inflation figures. As in 1995,
the direction of the U.S. bond market is expected to set the tone for the global
bond markets in 1996. We believe that the European bond markets will continue to
outperform other markets in the first quarter of the year, continuing their
strong performance from the final months of 1995, and that the Japanese market
will continue to underperform due to an increase in economic activity stemming
from government spending packages. We remain optimistic for further positive
performance of the aggregate international bond markets in 1996 as benign
inflationary forecasts for the major world economies suggest a continued low
interest rate environment.
As a result of these views the portfolio is overweight European bonds
relative to the Salomon non-U.S. bond index. Our belief in a further easing of
monetary policy by the Bundesbank has led us to a substantially overweight
position in Germany and the closely correlated Danish bond market. We also have
overweight positions in all three of the high yielding European markets, Italy,
Spain and Sweden as we foresee improvements in inflation and the political
situation in all three of these countries. Our relatively cautious view on Japan
is apparent in our modest exposure to that market compared to Europe. Our only
exposure in the dollar bloc is a small position in the Canadian market. All bond
positions have been hedged back into the U.S. dollar, so that the portfolio has
minimized foreign currency exposure.

THE COMPASS CAPITAL GROUP OF FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 1996
1. ORGANIZATION:
The Compass Capital Group (the "Group") was organized on October 1, 1987,
and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company established as a
Massachusetts business trust.
The Group is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares which are
units of beneficial interest without par value. This report relates solely to
the International Fixed Income Fund (the "Fund").
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires the use of management estimates.
SECURITIES VALUATION -- Foreign securities are valued based upon quotations
from the primary market in which they are traded. Restricted and illiquid
securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair
value using methods determined in good faith as approved by the Board of
Trustees.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME -- Security transactions are
accounted on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Interest
income is recognized on the accrual basis. Gains or losses realized on sales of
securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot
sold with the net sales proceeds.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions from net investment income
are declared and paid twice annually. Any net realized capital gains are
declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually.
Differences between undistributed net investment income or accumulated net
capital gains for financial reporting and tax purposes, if permanent, are
required to be reclassified to/from paid in capital.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- It is the intention of the Fund 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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION -- The books and records of the Fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into
U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(I) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the
current rate of exchange; and
(II) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at
the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of
such transactions.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investment
securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which
is due to changes in market prices of such securities.
The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as
components of realized and unrealized gains for financial reporting purposes,
whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for Federal income tax
purposes.

THE COMPASS CAPITAL GROUP OF FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JANUARY 31, 1996
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Fund enters into forward foreign
currency contracts as a hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio
positions. These contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the
underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until the
contract settlement date. Such contracts, which protect the value of the Fund's
investment securities against a decline in the value of currency, do not
eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. They simply
establish an exchange rate at a future date. Also, although such contracts tend
to minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a hedged currency,
at the same time they tend to limit any potential gain that might be realized
should the value of such foreign currency increase. Risks may arise upon
entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to
meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value
of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded as the
Fund intends to settle the contracts prior to delivery. Under the terms of
foreign currency contracts open at January 31, 1996, the Fund is obligated to
deliver or receive currency in exchange for U.S. dollars as indicated below:

the shareholders to vote on an asset purchase agreement which provided for (A)
the transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of the Fund to a corresponding
portfolio of Compass Capital Funds (formerly, "The PNC Fund") (the "Compass
Transaction") and (B) the approval of interim investment advisory and
sub-advisory agreements for the Fund if the merger of Midlantic Corporation and
PNC Bank Corp. occurred before the closing of the Compass Transaction. At a
special meeting of shareholders held on December 11, 1995, the shareholders of
the Fund voted to approve this proposal. Pursuant to the asset purchase
agreement, on February 13, 1996 all of the assets and liabilities of the Fund
were transferred to the International Bond Portfolio (the "Portfolio") of
Compass Capital Funds in exchange for Service Shares of the Portfolio, and the
Portfolio assumed the prior operating history of the Fund. Compass Distributors,
Inc. is the new distributor of the Fund as of February 13, 1996.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments of The International Fixed Income Fund of The
Compass Capital Group of Funds, as of January 31, 1996, and the related
statement of operations for the period from March 1, 1995 to January 31, 1996,
the statements of changes in net assets for the period from March 1, 1995 to
January 31, 1996 and for the year ended February 28, 1995, and the financial
highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund'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 investments held by the
custodian as of January 31, 1996. 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 The
International Fixed Income Fund of The Compass Capital Group of Funds, as of
January 31, 1996 and the results of their operations for the period from March
1, 1995 to January 31, 1996, the changes in their net assets for the period from
March 1, 1995 to January 31, 1996 and for the year ended February 28, 1995, and

generally accepted accounting principles.
