MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND INVESTMENT ADVISOR
Dear Shareholders:
The six months ended January 31, 1997, was another excellent period for the
stock market. The broad market averages were up about 25%--with the Dow Jones
Industrial Average approaching the 7000 barrier. Just two years ago, the Dow
was at 4000. Meanwhile, the bond market turned in very modest performance
during the six-month period, with returns in the low single digits.
THE ECONOMY: MODERATE STEADY GROWTH
After surging in the second quarter of 1996, the U.S. economy moderated in the
fall before picking up once again in the fourth quarter. On balance, the year
was very much like the year before--modest growth in Gross Domestic Product
coupled with relatively mild inflation.
Although oil prices soared during 1996, overall inflation rates were still
modest. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board was not compelled to raise or
lower interest rates since our last letter in July. And yet, because the
economy and interest rates moved in a narrow trading range, investors were
jittery, looking for any sign of a trend. As a result, interest rates and bond
prices were volatile.
BONDS: BETTER DAYS AHEAD
Since bond prices move inversely to interest rates, the bond market cannot
advance unless rates move downward. During the six-month period, interest rates
were volatile but ended the period slightly lower than where they were on July
31, 1996. We believe that the Federal Reserve is likely to be on the lookout
for any early signs of growing inflationary pressures in the economy. We also
believe that the Federal Reserve will react quickly, if needed, to prevent a
resurgence in inflation. Therefore, our outlook on inflation and long-term
interest rates remains positive. Our strategy is to keep the maturity of our
portfolios longer than average to take advantage of any decrease in long-term
interest rates as we move further into 1997.
STOCKS: A LIKELY BREATHER
In 1995, the stock market advanced about 37%. In 1996, the advance was another
23%. Between August 1, 1996, and January 31, 1997, the period of this report,
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 24%. These returns reflect the stable
economy, low inflation, strong corporate profits and a continuing inflow of
cash into the stock market.
At this point, however, it is unlikely that stocks can continue to rise at such
a pace. Dividend yields on the S&P 500 Index are below 2% for the first time in
history. Stock prices are approaching twenty times 1997 projected earnings.
Indeed, the stock market is already discounting much of the foreseeable good
news. As a result, the slightest disappointment in the economy, inflation or
earnings may prove problematic for stock investors.

<PAGE>
WELL POSITIONED FOR THE FUTURE
Our strategy for stocks is to search for companies that will hold up well in a
less exuberant market. In addition, our portfolios are broadly diversified
across the economy in an attempt to reduce risk. For bonds, we are seeking
opportunities to maximize returns by lengthening maturities when it is
appropriate to do so, and by choosing sectors most likely to retain credit
quality in the event of an economic slowdown.

A NARROW ADVANCE
For the six months ended January 31, 1997, the AmSouth Equity Fund produced a
total return of 14.32% (without the sales charge).+ In comparison, the S&P 500
Index rose 24.15%. The Fund trailed the S&P 500 due to the narrowness of the
market advance. Relatively few stocks carried most of the performance of the
S&P 500, and those stocks were largely in sectors such as technology that we
underweighted because valuation levels were extremely high.**
HEALTH CARE, ENERGY AND FINANCIAL SERVICES OUTPERFORM
The Fund included many companies in the health care/pharmaceuticals and energy
industries, two areas that outperformed during the six-month period. In
pharmaceuticals, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (1.85% of the portfolio) represents
the type of stock that investors flock to in a slowing economic environment
because it's a high-quality, large-capitalization, internationally recognized
growth company.**
+ The Fund's total return with a maximum 4.50% sales charge was 4.83% for the
period.
** The composition of the Fund's holdings is subject to change.

<PAGE>
Energy companies performed well during the period because of rising oil prices.
Under controlled United Nations authority, Iraq was allowed to sell oil to buy
food and medicine--and most industry observers expected this to have a
depressing impact on oil prices. Instead, producers allowed their inventories
to get very low, and prices surged when there was an unexpected improvement in
the overall level of demand. As a result, integrated oil companies such as
Texaco, Inc. (2.55%) and oil service companies such as Dresser Industries, Inc.
(1.05%) outperformed the market.**
In banking, NationsBank (1.68%), a "superregional" based in Charlotte, North
Carolina, performed well after its buyout of Boatman's Bancshares in St. Louis,
which it accomplished without diluting earnings per share. Other financial
service stocks such as American Express Co. (1.22%) also performed well. As of
January 31, 1997, the Fund's top five holdings were Great Western Financial
Corp. (2.72%), Sun Co., Inc. (2.71%), St. Paul Cos., Inc. (2.68%), Sara Lee
Corp. (2.64%) and Pharmacia & Upjohn, Inc. (2.58%).**
LOWERED EXPECTATIONS
During the past two years, the stock market has chalked up some extraordinary
returns. On a dividend-yield basis, the market has never been as richly valued.
Although we don't expect a major correction, investors should not expect
another spectacular year.

THE SOUTH: A BOOMING ECONOMY
For the six months ended January 31, 1997, the AmSouth Regional Equity Fund
produced a total return of 18.96% (without the sales charge).+ In comparison,
the S&P 500 Index rose 24.15%. The booming southeastern United States economy
is characterized by a heavy emphasis on soft goods manufacturing, health care
and financial services. The region is underweighted in technology and consumer
durables such as automobiles and appliances.
BANKS, HOSPITALS AND RETAILERS SHINE
The Regional Equity Fund lagged the S&P 500 primarily due to its under-
representation in technology. However, the second-best performing area of the
S&P 500--financial services--is heavily represented in the portfolio. Banks
such as NationsBank (2.15% of the portfolio), First Union Corp. (2.43%) and
First Tennessee National Corp. (2.02%) posted excellent results for the
period.**
+ The Fund's total return with a maximum 4.50% sales charge was 13.60% for the
period.
** The composition of the Fund's holdings is subject to change.

<PAGE>
Another strong industry was medical services--companies such as Healthsouth
Corp. (7.25%), a provider of rehabilitation services, and Health Management
Associates (3.49%), a company that manages acute care hospitals, outperformed
the S&P 500.**
CONTROLLING INVENTORIES
Bucking a national trend, the retail industry performed well in the portfolio,
with SteinMart Inc. (2.51%), an operator of off-price apparel stores, chalking
up the best performance in the group. Earnings were stronger because the major
department-store companies controlled their inventories much better in 1996 and
didn't need to run as many competitive promotional sales. Another retailer,
Hancock Fabrics Inc. (2.03%), an owner of fabric stores throughout the South
and Midwest, has been able to increase market share as weaker competitors fall
by the wayside.**
As of January 31, 1997, the Fund's top five holdings were Healthsouth Corp.
(7.25%), Health Management Assoc., Inc. (3.49%), Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.
(2.84%), BellSouth Corp. (2.58%) and Flowers Industries, Inc. (2.57%).**
RECORD EMPLOYMENT
Although the economy of the Southeast has slowed in recent months, it still
appears stronger than the national economy. Many metropolitan areas are
enjoying record low unemployment, spurring a continuing immigration of
residents from other parts of the country. We believe that the region's
economic prospects remain bright.

STOCKS GO ONE WAY, BONDS GO ANOTHER
For the six months ended January 31, 1997, the AmSouth Balanced Fund produced a
total return of 9.73% (without the sales charge).+ In comparison, the S&P 500
Index rose 24.15%, while the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index
rose 4.76%. The period was unusual in that the stock-market rally was not
accompanied by a rally in bonds.
Throughout the latter half of 1996, we maintained roughly a 50/50 mixture of
stocks and bonds.** This reflected our judgment that the risk/reward
relationship in the stock market was not favorable. This judgment was partly
based on a quantitative model that we employ that examines the expected returns
of stocks and bonds as well as the likely variance of those returns. In
addition, we examine traditional valuation measures for stocks such as the
market's price/earnings ratio and dividend yield. The S&P 500's dividend yield
is currently less than 2%, the lowest on record.
+ The Fund's total return with a maximum 4.50% sales charge was 4.83% for the
period.
** The composition of the Fund's holdings is subject to change.

<PAGE>
STOCKS: WINNERS INCLUDE ENERGY, FINANCIAL SERVICES AND HEALTH CARE
The equity portion of the Fund emphasized energy, reflecting the rising price
of oil. In financial services, the portfolio continues to benefit from the
nationwide consolidation of banks and the efficiencies that result. In health
care, we owned shares in companies that are demonstrating their ability to
keep costs down while maintaining quality of care. As of January 31, 1997, the
Fund's top five equity holdings were AMP, Inc. (1.50% of the portfolio), Sun
Co., Inc. (1.46%), Baxter International, Inc. (1.44%), Sara Lee Corp. (1.34%)
and St. Paul Cos., Inc. (1.33%).**
BONDS: SLIGHTLY LONGER MATURITIES
Because of our belief that interest rates are more likely to fall than rise,
we have extended the average maturity of the bond portion of the Balanced
Fund. In a period of falling interest rates, bonds with longer maturities
produced greater capital appreciation. Reflecting the modest growth in the
economy, the portfolio is keeping the corporate bond percentage limited to
33%, with the balance invested in U.S. Treasury bonds.** Although corporate
bonds offer higher yields, there is also credit risk that is not associated
with government bonds. Since the U.S. economy is in its sixth year of
expansion, it becomes more and more likely that corporate credit quality could
deteriorate, thus causing these bond prices to lag the performance of the
Treasury market.
OUTLOOK: BONDS LOOK BETTER
As the Dow Jones Industrial Average vaults over 7000, all the attention has
been on stocks. However, the purpose of a Balanced Fund is to participate in
the equity markets while simultaneously receiving the income and stability of
fixed-income securities. We believe that bond performance in 1997 will cause
investors to appreciate these benefits once again.

BONDS: MODEST RETURNS
For the six months ended January 31, 1997, the AmSouth Bond Fund produced a
total return of 4.53% (without the sales charge).+ In comparison, the Lehman
Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index rose 4.76%. Our performance was aided
by the Fund's longer-than-average maturity. In a period of falling interest
rates, bonds with longer maturities offer greater capital appreciation.
LOCKING IN HIGHER RATES
Typically, our strategy is to boost maturities as interest rates rise, thereby
locking in the higher yields. Last summer, yields on the benchmark 30-year
Treasury reached 7.2%, so such a strategy proved fruitful when interest rates
fell in September.
+ The Fund's total return with a maximum 3.00% sales charge was 1.36% for the
period.
-9-
<PAGE>
Although the change in interest rates from July 31, 1996, to January 31, 1997,
was relatively small, there was a great deal of volatility during the period,
caused by uncertainty over the direction of the economy. The volatility
created opportunities for us to purchase bonds at attractive prices.
KEEPING CREDIT QUALITY HIGH
The AmSouth Bond Fund invests in a mixture of U.S. Treasury securities (62% of
the portfolio), government-agency securities (4%) and corporate bonds (33%).
The yield advantage offered by corporate bonds over Treasuries has narrowed
considerably in the past year. As a result, there is less incentive to buy
these bonds. In addition, our forecast for lower interest rates suggests a
slowing economy in which corporate credit quality could deteriorate. The
securities within the Fund maintained an average credit quality of AA.**
Although the total return for bonds was modest during the past six months, we
believe that stable to declining interest rates will translate into better
bond returns in 1997. Our plan is to maintain the current allocation among
government securities and corporate bonds.

produced a total return of 3.29% (without the sales charge).+ In comparison,
the Merrill Lynch 1-to-5 Year Government/Corporate Bond Index rose 3.94%.
MORE CORPORATE BONDS EQUALS MORE YIELD . . .
The Limited Maturity Fund is restricted to investing in bonds with a maturity
of five years or less. Because it's easier to gauge the creditworthiness of a
security maturing soon, the portfolio can include a greater proportion of
corporate bonds than portfolios with longer maturities. The advantage of
corporate bonds is that they generally offer more yield than government bonds
in return for some credit risk. During the six-month period, the securities
within the Fund maintained a credit quality of AA.**
+ The Fund's total return with a maximum 3.00% sales charge was 0.18% for the
period.
** The composition of the Fund's holdings is subject to change.
-11-
<PAGE>
. . . BUT THE CORPORATE YIELD ADVANTAGE IS DIMINISHING
Our policy is to purchase corporate bonds rated A or better, diversifying our
exposure so that we don't own more than 5% in any one name. In the past year,
the extra yield offered by corporates over governments has compressed, as the
economy continues to grow at a moderate rate. However, we have reduced the
proportion of corporate bonds from 84% in July 1996 to 61% as of January 31,
1997. The reason: We are forecasting a more modest growth economy in 1997 and
lower interest rates. Such an environment is often associated with weaker
corporate creditworthiness. We have accomplished this shift in the portfolio
by selling short-term corporates and purchasing Treasury securities in the
four-to-five-year maturity range. As a result, the Fund's current maturity is
2.8 years, up from 2.0 years last summer.**
INTEREST RATE VOLATILITY LIKELY TO CONTINUE
Because of its shorter maturity, the AmSouth Limited Maturity Fund is the most
defensive of the AmSouth fixed-income funds. It is designed to provide
preservation of principal in a volatile interest-rate environment. Although we
believe the general trend for interest rates is downward, we also believe that
it is likely that interest-rate volatility will continue in 1997.

The performance of the AmSouth Government Income Fund is measured against the
Lehman Brothers Mortgage Index, an unmanaged index generally representative of
the mortgage bond market as a whole. The index does not reflect the deduction
of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment-management and
fund-accounting fees. However, the Fund's performance reflects the deduction of
fees for these value-added services. During the period shown, the Fund waived
fees for various expenses. Had these waivers not been in place, performance
quoted would have been lower. 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.
*Reflects 3.00% sales charge.
The AmSouth Government Income Fund is managed by John Boston, CFA, a vice
president and trust investment officer with AmSouth Bank. In addition to
serving as a portfolio manager for the AmSouth Mutual Funds, Mr. Boston also
manages several large institutional portfolios within the AmSouth Trust
Department.
The AmSouth Government Income Fund is a mixture of mortgage-backed securities,
principally Ginnie Maes, and intermediate- to long-term U.S. Treasury bonds.
Ginnie Maes, which offer significantly higher yields than Treasuries, are the
highest quality mortgage-backed securities because they are the only type to be
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
For the six months ended January 31, 1997, the Government Income Fund produced
a total return of 4.95% (without the sales charge).+ In comparison, the Lehman
Brothers Mortgage Index rose 5.37%.
+ The Fund's total return with a maximum 3.00% sales charge was 1.81% for the
period.
-13-
<PAGE>
BOOSTING GINNIE MAES
During the six-month period, we increased the proportion of Ginnie Maes from
68% to 74%, with the balance invested in Treasury bonds. During the same
period, the average maturity of the Fund declined from 9.8 years to 9.2
years.**
In a period of falling interest rates, holders of mortgages tend to prepay, so
they can refinance at a lower interest expense. As a result, a portfolio of
Ginnie Maes would be likely to shorten during a falling interest-rate period.
Still, the Fund's maturity at 9.2 years is still somewhat longer than the
benchmark at 7.1 years and is therefore, we believe, positioned for interest
rates to decline.
ENJOYING HIGHER YIELDS
Although prepayment risk can be significant, it does not usually become a
problem unless interest rates fall substantially. Despite all the volatility
in interest rates, the absolute levels of rates fell only about 0.30
percentage points from July 31, 1996, to January 31, 1997. We believe that
further interest-rate declines will be similarly modest. As a result, we
believe that the additional yield we are receiving from our Ginnie Mae
investments more than compensates for the prepayment risk that we are
incurring in a modestly declining interest-rate environment.

The performance of the AmSouth Florida Tax-Free Fund is measured against the
Merrill Lynch 3-7 Year Municipal Bond Index, an unmanaged index generally
representative of intermediate-term municipal bonds. The index does not reflect
the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as
investment-management and fund-accounting fees. However, the Fund's
performance reflects the deduction of fees for these value-added services.
During the period shown, the Fund waived fees for various expenses. Had these
waivers not been in place, performance quoted would have been lower. 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.
*Reflects 3.00% sales charge.
The AmSouth Florida Tax-Free Fund is managed by Dotty Thomas, who has 14 years
of experience as an investment portfolio manager for municipal bond accounts,
personal trusts and endowments. She holds degrees from Stanford University and
the University of Alabama.
For the six months ended January 31, 1997, the Florida Tax-Free Fund produced a
total return of 2.71% (without the sales charge).+ In comparison, the Merrill
Lynch 3-to-7 Year Municipal Bond Index rose 3.03%.
A FOCUS ON QUALITY
The Florida municipal bond market is one of the largest in the nation, with a
plentiful supply of new issues coming to market. Most of these issues come to
market as insured bonds, which receive AAA ratings. We continue to concentrate
on the highest quality bonds, since the market is not compensating us
adequately to buy lower quality. For example, we avoid hospital issues, a
sector that has been under pressure due to changes in the funding of our
health-care system.
+ The Fund's total return with a maximum 3.00% sales charge was -0.39% for the
period.
The Fund's income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and to
certain state and local taxes.
-15-
<PAGE>
The portfolio is extremely well diversified owning approximately 60
securities, including general obligation bonds issued by the State of Florida
and the Florida Board of Education.** The economy of Florida is strong, and
the state continues to attract new residents from all over the country.
ATTRACTIVE YIELDS FOR HIGH INCOME TAXPAYERS
Municipal bonds offer yields in the neighborhood of 70% to 80% of comparable-
maturity taxable bonds. For investors in high income tax brackets, tax-free
bonds offer attractive yields when compared to taxable bonds after taxes are
taken into account. The concerns about tax legislation that would have
diminished this advantage faded after the presidential election season.
As of January 31, 1997, the average maturity of the Fund's holdings was 5.6
years.** Over the next six months, we'll take advantage of what we believe to
be opportunities to add yield and potential performance by targeting our new
purchases at the longer end of the fund's maturity spectrum.

THE AMSOUTH MONEY MARKET FUNDS
The AmSouth Money Market Funds are managed by John Boston, CFA, a vice
president and trust investment officer with AmSouth Bank. In addition to
serving as a portfolio manager for the AmSouth Mutual Funds, Mr. Boston also
manages several large institutional portfolios within the AmSouth Trust
Department.
A "WAIT AND SEE" POSTURE
The Federal Reserve Board continues its "wait-and-see" posture, looking to see
if the economy's growth rate will slow, or whether inflation will indeed
return. For a year, the Fed hasn't seen convincing evidence to cause them to
move interest rates up or down. As a result, money market fund yields have
been relatively stable during that period.
We don't see an imminent reason for a policy change from the Federal Reserve.
The economy appears to be slowing from the unsustainable fourth quarter 1996
growth rate of 4.7%. The most recent inflation data indicates an easing of
inflation pressures.
Today's short-term interest rates are relatively high compared to the rate of
inflation. From that perspective, returns from investments in money market
funds are substantial.
. At January 31, 1997, the Prime Obligations Fund's average maturity was 74
days, compared to 60 days on July 31, 1996.*
. At January 31, 1997, the U.S. Treasury Fund's average maturity was about 60
days, compared to 64 days on July 31, 1996.*
. At January 31, 1997, the Tax-Exempt Fund's average maturity was about 69
days, compared to 67 days on July 31, 1996.*
*The composition of the Fund's holdings is subject to change.
Investments in the Prime Obligations, the U.S. Treasury and the Tax-Exempt
Money Market Funds are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
Although the Funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share, yields will fluctuate and there is no assurance that they will be able
to do so.

1. ORGANIZATION:
AmSouth Mutual Funds (the "Trust") was organized on August 5, 1988, and is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, ("the 1940
Act") as a diversified, open-end investment company established as a
Massachusetts business trust. Between the date of organization and the dates
of commencement of operations, the Trust had no operations other than
incurring organizational expenses and the sale of initial units of beneficial
interest ("shares").
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares without par
value. The Trust currently offers shares of the AmSouth Prime Obligations
Fund, the AmSouth U.S. Treasury Fund, the AmSouth Tax-Exempt Fund, the
AmSouth Bond Fund, the AmSouth Limited Maturity Fund, the AmSouth Government
Income Fund, the AmSouth Florida Tax-Free Fund, the AmSouth Equity Fund, the
AmSouth Regional Equity Fund, and the AmSouth Balanced Fund (collectively,
"the Funds" and individually "a Fund"). The AmSouth Alabama Tax-Free Fund and
the AmSouth Municipal Bond Fund have not yet commenced operations. Sales of
shares of the Funds may be made to customers of AmSouth Bank of Alabama,
("AmSouth") and its affiliates, to all accounts of correspondent banks of
AmSouth and to the general public.
The Prime Obligations Fund, the U.S. Treasury Fund and the Tax Exempt Fund
(the "money market funds") each offer two classes of shares: Classic Shares
and Premier Shares. Effective April 1, 1996, the existing shares of the money
market funds, which were previously unclassified, were designated Premier
Shares, and the money market funds commenced offering Classic Shares. Shares
of the Bond Fund, Limited Maturity Fund, the Government Income Fund, the
Florida Tax-Free Fund, the Equity Fund, the Regional Equity Fund and the
Balanced Fund (the "variable net asset value funds") are not classified.
The Prime Obligations Fund and U.S. Treasury Fund seek current income with
liquidity and stability of principal. The Tax Exempt Fund seeks to produce as
high a level of current interest income exempt from federal income taxes as
is consistent with the preservation of capital and relative stability of
principal. The Bond Fund and Limited Maturity Fund seek current income,
consistent with the preservation of capital. The Government Income Fund seeks
to provide a high level of current income consistent with prudent investment
risk. The Florida Tax-Free Fund seeks to produce as high a level of current
interest income exempt from federal income taxes and Florida intangibles
taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital. The Equity Fund and
the Regional Equity Fund seek growth of capital. The Balanced Fund seeks to
obtain long-term capital growth and current income.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Trust 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 maturity which exceeds 90 days.
Investments in common stocks, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, commercial
paper 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 investment companies are
valued at their net asset values as reported by such companies. The
differences between cost and market values of such investments are
reflected as unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME:
Securities 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.
Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by
comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales
proceeds.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:
The Funds may acquire repurchase agreements from member banks of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and from registered broker/dealers
which AmSouth 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 the Funds 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.
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 gains, if any, are declared and distributed
annually.

(Unaudited)
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,
expiring capital loss carryforwards and deferrals of certain losses.
Permanent book and tax basis differences are reflected in the components of
net assets.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
It is the policy of each Fund 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 for the Trust are prorated to the
Funds on the basis of relative net assets.
