President's Message

Dear Shareholder:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders for the Hibernia Funds. This Report covers the activity of the Hibernia Funds over the 12-month fiscal year reporting period from September 1, 1999 through August 31, 2000. It includes an interview with each fund's portfolio manager, as well as a complete list of portfolio holdings and audited financial statements for each fund.

The highlights for each Hibernia fund over the 12-month reporting period are as follows:

* Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns quoted above are based on net asset value and do not reflect the maximum sales charges for Class A Shares or contingent deferred sales charges for Class B Shares. Total returns based on the maximum sales charge and contingent deferred sales charge for the 12-month period are as follows: Hibernia Capital Appreciation Fund Class A Shares, 13.21%; Hibernia Capital Appreciation Fund Class B Shares, 12.15%; Hibernia Louisiana Municipal Income Fund, 3.00%; Hibernia Mid Cap Equity Fund Class A Shares, 34.76%; Hibernia Mid Cap Equity Fund Class B Shares, 34.54%; Hibernia Total Return Bond Fund, 2.36%; and Hibernia U.S. Government Income Fund, 3.31%.

Hibernia Louisiana Municipal Income Fund
Annual Report/12 month period from September 1, 1999 through August 31, 2000

Q. What is your review of the municipal bond market, which performed very well vs. U.S. Treasury securities over the fund's fiscal year?

A. The municipal bond market performed remarkably well during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2000. Lack of new issue supply in the midst of healthy investor demand provided support to the market in the face of a difficult taxable fixed income bond market.

Q. How did Hibernia Louisiana Municipal Income Fund perform on a total return and dividend income basis?

A. The total return for the fund for the fiscal year was 6.23%. While the share price remained unchanged at August 31, 2000, the fund paid an income dividend of $0.55 and a capital gain distribution of $0.10.

Q. What factors will be driving the municipal bond market over the near future?

A. Looking ahead the municipal bond market performance will be a function of several key factors. Continued low inflation and high worker productivity should allow interest rates in general to remain stable. A projected return to more historical rates of return in the equity markets will help funnel demand out of stocks and into municipal bonds. And finally the economic wealth generated over the past several years through corporate mergers and buyouts will create increasing demand for safe tax advantaged investments.

Hibernia Mid Cap Equity Fund
Annual Report/12-month period from September 1, 1999 through August 31, 2000

Q. While technology stocks have been impacted by a high level of volatility, it was nevertheless a good year for mid-cap stocks. What are your comments?

A. Technology stocks led the way, and should continue to do so. Mid-cap stocks should continue to do well in a slowing economic environment.

Q. Hibernia Mid Cap Equity Fund continued to perform well. How did the fund perform over the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2000?

A. The Mid Cap Equity Fund had a total return of 41.06% on an NAV basis for Class A Shares and a total return of 40.04% for Class B Shares* on an NAV basis for the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2000.

Q. What will be the major influences on the direction of the mid-cap market going forward?

A. The technology sector should continue to be the focal point of the mid-cap market. Focus will be on the rate of growth in this sector, and a few others, in the face of a slowing economy.

* Class B Shares return does not reflect the applicable contingent deferred sales charge.

The common trust fund was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and therefore was not subject to certain investment restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act. If the common trust fund had been registered under the 1940 Act, the performance may have been adversely affected.

Hibernia Total Return Bond Fund

Q. After an extended period of interest rate increases, the Federal Reserve stood pat and left rates unchanged at its most recent meeting. What are your comments on the bond market environment over the fund's last fiscal year?

A.The bond market environment was extremely volatile during the 12 month period ended August 31, 2000. The red hot domestic economy, tight labor markets, higher energy prices and a restrictive Federal Reserve policy all conspired to push interest rates dramatically higher during the first few months of the fiscal year. Investors turned bullish in January only to reverse course again in April and drive interest rates higher again. In May evidence of a cooler economy and tame inflation allowed interest rates to move lower. Interest rates ended the fiscal year largely where they stated.

Q. How did the fund perform in terms of total return and dividend income?

A.The fund experienced a positive total return for the fiscal year of 5.53%. The Fund paid an income dividend of $0.58 and the share price declined by $0.06.

Q.Have you made any material adjustments to the fund's mix of government and corporate bonds?

A.Over the past year we have worked to increase the portfolio allocation to higher yielding investment grade corporate bonds and reduce lower yielding U.S. Treasury notes and bonds.

Q.Bond returns have been improving, and the Federal Reserve's rate increases appear to be successful in slowing the economy. Is there reason for greater optimism among bond investors?

A.The fundamental outlook for the bond market is greatly improved. The Federal Reserve appears to be moving to the sidelines and the economy appears headed for a soft landing. Inflation remains subdued while worker productivity continues to rise.

Hibernia U.S. Government Income Fund
Annual Report 12-month period from September 1, 1999 through August 31, 2000

Q. After an extended period of interest rate increases, the Federal Reserve stood pat and left rates unchanged at its most recent meeting. What are your comments on the government bond market environment over the fund's fiscal year?

A. The fiscal year ended August 31, 2000 was a turbulent one for bond investors. Rates rose, declined, rose again, and declined again, finishing the year just about where they started. In the end, investors were able to earn the coupon on their bonds investments without any appreciation or depreciation.

Q. How did the fund perform in terms of total return and dividend income? 

A. Total return for the fund for the 12 months ended August 31, 2000 was 6.47% based on net asset value. Dividends remained constant over the 12 month reporting period resulting in overall dividend income of approximately $0.57 cents per share.

Q. Bond returns have been improving, and the Federal Reserve's rate increases appear to be successful in slowing the economy. Is there reason for greater optimism among government bond investors?

A. Yes. Productivity is strong and continually improving thanks to technological innovations, inflation remains low, and the Fed is vigilant about keeping the economy from overheating.

Hibernia Cash Reserve Fund
Annual Report 12-month period from September 1, 1999 through August 31, 2000

Q. What are your comments on the short-term marketplace during the fund's fiscal year, which saw the Federal Reserve finally stand pat on the interest rates?

A. The Federal Reserve actually spent most of the fiscal year raising rates attempting to slow down the economy and fight inflation. This ended in May of 2000 and seems to have been effective.

Q. Where did the 7-day net yield of Hibernia Cash Reserve Fund stand at the beginning and end of the reporting period?

A. The yield for Class A Shares and Class B Shares at the beginning of the fiscal year was 4.33% and 3.56% and at the fiscal year end, it was 5.43% and 4.68%, respectively.*

Q. What was your strategy in terms of the fund's portfolio mix and average maturity during the reporting period?

A. The mix of asset types for most of the year leaned heavily towards corporate commercial paper, with some government agency securities. Throughout the year, the average maturity was lengthened to approximately 50 days at the end.

Q. With the Federal Reserve standing cautiously on the sidelines, what are your expectations for interest rates going forward?

A. The rise in rates seems to have had the desired short-term effect of slowing the economy. With this in mind rates should remain steady in the near-term, with a possible trend downward later on.

* Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Yield will vary.

Hibernia U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
Annual Report 12-month period from September 1, 1999 through August 31, 2000

Q. After an extended period of rate increases that helped boost money market fund yields, the Federal Reserve left rates unchanged at its last meeting. What are your comments?

A. The Federal Reserve spent most of the fiscal year raising rates attempting to slow down the economy and fight inflation. This ended in May of 2000 and seems to have been effective in that fight. The economy is showing some signs of slowing and inflationary pressures are subdued.

Q. Where did the 7-day net yield of Hibernia U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund stand at the beginning and end of the reporting period?

A. The yield at the beginning of the year was 4.30% and at the end of the reporting period, it was 5.70%.*

Q. What was your strategy in terms of the fund's portfolio mix and average maturity during the reporting period?

A. The portfolio continues to be fully invested in direct U.S. Treasury securities. Over the course of the year ended August 31, 2000, the average maturity was extended to about 50 days at fiscal year-end.

Q. With the Federal Reserve standing cautiously on the sidelines, what are your expectations for interest rates going forward?

A. The rise in rates seems to have had the desired short-term effect of slowing the economy, and keeping inflation at bay. With this in mind, rates should remain steady in the near-term, with a possible trend downward later on.

* Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Yield will vary.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Investment Valuations--Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds, and other fixed income and asset-backed securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange. Cash Reserve and U. S. Treasury Money Market Funds use the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. For Capital Appreciation Fund, Louisiana Municipal Income Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, and U.S. Government Income Fund, short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Repurchase Agreements--It is the policy of the Funds to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Funds to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement.

The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Funds' adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees"). The Fund, along with other affiliated investment companies, may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements.

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions--Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"). Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing book/tax treatments of market discount reclasses, paydown gains and losses, and net operating losses. The following reclassifications have been made to the financial statements.

     Increase (Decrease)          
Fund   Paid-In Capital   Undistributed
Net Investment
Income (Loss)
  Accumulated
Net Realized
Gain (Loss)
Capital Appreciation Fund   $(641,395)   $284,112   $357,283
Mid Cap Equity Fund   (107,943)   107,943   --

Federal Taxes--It is the Funds' policy to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal tax is necessary.

At August 31, 2000, Total Return Bond Fund and U.S. Government Income Fund for federal tax purposes, had capital loss carryforward, as noted below, which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforward will expire as follows:

Expiration Year
Fund    2003    2004    2005    2008    Total Tax Loss
Carryforward
Total Return Bond Fund   $ --   $ --   $ --   $ 2,538   $ 2,538
U.S. Government Income Fund     1,349,514     1,298,006     553,828     77,409     3,278,757

Additionally, the following Funds had capital losses attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 1999, which were treated as arising on September 1, 2000, the first day of each Fund's next taxable year as follows:

Fund Capital Losses
Deferred
Total Return Bond Fund $158,756
U.S. Government Income Fund 374,704

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions--The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Other--Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

Fund    Annual Rate
Capital Appreciation Fund   0.75%
Louisiana Municipal Income Fund   0.45%
Mid Cap Equity Fund   0.75%
Total Return Bond Fund   0.70%
U.S. Government Income Fund   0.45%

The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Administrative Fee--Federated Administrative Services ("FAS") provides the Funds with certain administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on the level of average aggregate net assets of the Trust for the reporting period. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive a portion of its fee. FAS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Distribution Services Fee--The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Funds will reimburse Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the distributor, from the net assets of the Funds to finance activities intended to result in the sale of each Fund's shares. The Plan provides that the Funds, except for Class B Shares of the Capital Appreciation Fund, Class B Shares of the Mid Cap Equity Fund and Class B Shares of the Cash Reserve Fund, may incur distribution expenses up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds, annually, to reimburse FSC. Class B Shares of the Capital Appreciation Fund, Class B Shares of the Mid Cap Equity Fund and Class B Shares of the Cash Reserve Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Class B Shares, annually, to reimburse FSC. For the year ended August 31, 2000, the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund did not incur distribution services fees.

Shareholder Services Fee--Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Federated Shareholder Services Company ("FSSC"), Class B Shares of Capital Appreciation Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund and Cash Reserve Fund will pay FSSC up to 0.25% of their average daily net assets for the reporting period. The fee paid to FSSC is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts.

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses--Federated Services Company ("FServ"), through its subsidiary, FSSC serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders.

Portfolio Accounting Fees--FServ maintains the Fund's accounting records for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of each Fund's average daily net assets for the reporting period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Custodian Fees--Hibernia National Bank is the Funds' custodian for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of each Fund's average daily net assets for the reporting period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Interfund Transactions--During the year ended August 31, 2000, certain funds engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act (see below).

Fund    Purchases    Sales
Capital Appreciation Fund   $ --   $ 1,183,873
Louisiana Municipal Income Fund     13,063,760     13,734,494

(5) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the year ended August 31, 2000, were as follows:

Fund    Purchases    Sales  
Capital Appreciation Fund   $28,263,294   $71,864,939

Mid Cap Equity Fund   7,026,370   7,865,620  
Total Return Bond Fund   11,719,779   7,880,859  
U.S. Government Income Fund   21,379,038   11,977,313  

(6) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since Louisiana Municipal Income Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable general tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at August 31, 2000, 73.3% of the securities in the portfolio of investments were backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The value of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 20.6% of total investments.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of HIBERNIA FUNDS:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Hibernia Funds (comprising, respectively, Hibernia Capital Appreciation Fund, Hibernia Louisiana Municipal Income Fund, Hibernia Mid Cap Equity Fund, Hibernia Total Return Bond Fund, Hibernia U.S. Government Income Fund, Hibernia Cash Reserve Fund and Hibernia U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund), as of August 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented therein. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. 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 August 31, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 respective portfolios constituting the Hibernia Funds at August 31, 2000, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
