Dear Shareholder,

     As you are aware, PNC Bank Corp. ("PNC") and Midlantic Corporation
("Midlantic") merged in December 1995. Following the consummation of the merger,
PNC consolidated Midlantic's Compass Funds ("Compass") with the PNC(REGISTRATION
MARK) Fund, which was managed by other PNC affiliates, in order to create one
consolidated family of mutual funds.

     Effective January 16, 1996 the consolidated entity adopted the name Compass
Capital Funds (the "Fund"), with PNC Asset Management Group, Inc. and
PNCInstitutional Management Corporation ("PIMC") serving as the Fund's
investment advisers. Compass Capital Funds is sub-advised by PNC's premier money
managers -- BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. ("BlackRock") for the fixed
income funds, Provident Capital Management for the value equity funds, PNC
Equity Advisors Company for the growth equity funds and PNC Bank, National
Association ("PNCBank") and PIMC for the money market funds. The International
Bond portfolio will continue to be sub-advised by Morgan Grenfell Investment
Services Limited.

NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO

     The Compass New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund has changed its name to
Compass Capital New Jersey Municipal Money Market Portfolio effective January
13, 1996. PNC Bank serves as sub-adviser and is responsible for the day-to-day
management of the portfolio. The investment objective and policies of the New
Jersey Municipal Money Market Portfolio are similar to those of the Compass New
Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund.

     Total net assets of the Fund increased by $68.6 million during the month of
January 1996, due to the merger of the Midlantic New Jersey Municipal Money
Market Fund and the PNC New Jersey Municipal Money Market Portfolio. The
combined funds, as of January 13, 1996, are called the Compass Capital New
Jersey Municipal Money Market Portfolio.

     As of January 31, 1996, variable rate demand notes represented only 63% of
the Portfolio, down from 72% at year-end 1995. The Portfolio's average weighted
maturity was 32 days on January 31, 1996.

NEW JERSEY TAX-FREE INCOME PORTFOLIO

     The Compass New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund has changed its name to the
Compass Capital New Jersey Tax-Free Income Portfolio effective January 13, 1996.
BlackRock serves as sub-adviser and is responsible for the day to day management
of the Portfolio. The investment objective and policies of the New
Jersey Tax-Free Income Portfolio are similar to those of the Compass New
Jersey Municipal Bond Fund.

     The New Jersey Tax-Free Income Portfolio is an open-end municipal bond fund
which invests primarily in New Jersey municipal bonds in order to provide its
shareholders with monthly income

<PAGE>



that is exempt from Federal, New Jersey state and local income taxes consistent
with the preservation of capital. The portfolio managers of the Portfolio strive
to select municipal bonds that will provided for a competitive return on
shareholder investments. Given the impressive performance of the fixed income
markets last year, the Portfolio posted a 10.35% total return for the Service
Class versus its benchmark index, the Lehman Brothers Local GO (General
Obligation) Index, which posted a return of 11.83% for the eleven months ended
January 31, 1996.

     The following financial report covers the eleven month period from March 1,
1995 to January 31, 1996. We have included here a detailed discussion of the
fixed income and municipal bond markets.

THE FIXED-INCOME MARKETS

     The spectacular rally in the fixed income markets in which interest rates
declined and the value of fixed income securities increased dramatically changed
the landscape for investors in 1995. Weak inflationary data and the belief that
a balanced Federal budget resolution will eventually be struck sustained
investor demand for bonds despite two partial government shutdowns near the end
of the year. As a whole, U.S. economic growth appeared to have slowed from its
torrid pace in 1994, despite a surprisingly robust third quarter. Consequently,
interest rates continued to grind lower over the year. The Federal Reserve,
noting the sluggish economy and that inflation data was more favorable than
anticipated, voted to reduce the Fed funds target rate by 0.25% on December 19
and again on January 31 to its current target rate of 5.25%.

     The fixed income markets continued their bullish charge into the first five
weeks of 1996. In February, however, the market reacted to favorable economic
data, including an unexpectedly strong employment report and Fed Chairman
Greenspan's optimistic assessment of the U.S. economy, causing yields on both
taxable and tax-exempt securities to increase as a sell-off occurred in the
fixed income markets. Despite the recent downturn, BlackRock remains carefully
optimistic towards the fixed income markets in 1996. We anticipate some
near-term volatility as market participants try to predict the actions of the
Federal Reserve. If the economy exhibits clearer signs of moderating growth and
subdued inflation on a longer-term basis, the Fed might be encouraged to resume
monetary easing which would again create an attractive marketplace for fixed
income investors.

THE TAX-EXEMPT MARKET

     The lower yield environment and the steep shape of the municipal yield
curve encouraged both retail and institutional investors to target longer
maturities for incremental yield towards the end of 1995. The spread between the
yields of 2- and 30-year paper narrowed and the municipal yield curve flattened
by the end of the fourth quarter of 1995, partially due to ongoing income tax
simplification concerns which tempered demand, and increased supply from new
issuance and refunding activity in November and December.

     The most significant factor affecting the municipal market in 1995 was the
tax reform debates in Washington. Most notably, several members of Congress and
Presidential hopefuls including Steve Forbes have earnestly proposed tax
simplification in the form of a flat tax on earned and unearned income. On
January 17, 1996, The Commission on Economic Growth and Tax Reform, headed by
former congressman Jack Kemp, released its much anticipated conclusions. The
report emphasized a need for tax simplification towards a single tax bracket
without definitely recommending a particular rate of taxation, thus setting the
stage for increased discussion on this issue in the coming election year.

                                       2

     Recently, these flat tax proposals have come under intensifying opposition,
thus reducing their chance of survival and increasing demand for municipal
bonds. Year-to-date 1996, municipal securities have outperformed taxable
securities by as much as 7% as investor fear of tax reform has dissipated and
new issue supply has decreased. Continued demand from both retail investors and
property and casualty insurers has led to strong technical conditions while
secondary market supply is historically low.

     While the market has indeed rallied and yields have declined over the past
year, municipal securities continue to trade at attractive yield ratios to
Treasuries. BlackRock believes that municipal securities have the potential to
be the best performing sector of the fixed income markets in 1996 as tax reform
concerns which have been adversely affecting municipal bond demand are
eliminated.

                       THE COMPASS CAPITAL GROUP OF FUNDS
                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                JANUARY 31, 1996



     Compass Capital Funds (the "Fund") formerly The PNC Fund, was organized on
December 22, 1988 as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
company. The Fund consists of twenty-eight separate Portfolios: Money Market
Portfolio, Municipal Money Market Portfolio, U.S. Treasury Money Market
Portfolio, Ohio Municipal Money Market Portfolio, Pennsylvania Municipal Money
Market Portfolio, North Carolina Municipal Money Market Portfolio, Virginia
Municipal Money Market Portfolio, New Jersey Municipal Money Market Portfolio,
Value Equity Portfolio, Growth Equity Portfolio, Small Cap Growth Equity
Portfolio, Select Equity Portfolio, Index Equity Portfolio, Small Cap Value
Equity Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, International Emerging Markets
Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, Managed Income Portfolio, Tax-Free Income
Portfolio, Core Bond Portfolio, Intermediate Government Bond Portfolio, Ohio
Tax-Free Income Portfolio, Pennsylvania Tax-Free Income Portfolio, New Jersey
Tax-Free Income Portfolio, Short Government Bond Portfolio, Intermediate Bond
Portfolio, International Bond Portfolio and Government Income Portfolio.

     On September 29, 1995 and October 2, 1995, respectively, the Board of
Trustees of the Fund and the Board of Trustees of The Compass Capital Group of
Funds ("Compass") approved an asset purchase agreement providing for the
transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of the New Jersey Municipal Money
Fund (the "Predecessor Money Fund") and the New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund (the
"Predecessor Bond Fund" and, collectively with the Predecessor Money Fund, the
"Predecessor Funds") of Compass to the New Jersey Municipal Money Market and the
New Jersey Tax-Free Income Portfolios, respectively, of the Fund. At a special
meeting of shareholders held on December 11, 1995, the shareholders of the
Predecessor Funds voted to approve the asset purchase agreement. Pursuant to the
asset purchase agreement, on January 13, 1996 all of the assets and liabilities
of the Predecessor Money Fund and the Predecessor Bond Fund were transferred to
the New Jersey Municipal Money Market Portfolio and the New Jersey Tax-Free
Income Portfolio, respectively, and each Portfolio assumed the prior operating
history of its corresponding Predecessor Fund. This report relates solely to the
New Jersey Municipal Money Market and New Jersey Tax-Free Income Portfolios (the
"Portfolios").

     Each Portfolio has five classes of shares, one class being referred to as
the Service shares, one class being referred to as the Institutional shares, one
class being referred to as the Investor A shares, one class being referred to as
the Investor B shares, and one class being referred to as the Investor C shares.
No Institutional shares had been issued for the New Jersey Tax-Free Income
Portfolio, and no Investor B or Investor C shares have been issued for either
Portfolio through January 31, 1996. Series A Investor, Series B Investor, Series
C Investor, Institutional and Service shares in a Portfolio represent equal pro
rata interests in such Portfolio, except that they bear different expenses which
reflect the difference in the range of services provided to them. Pursuant to
the Fund's Amended and Restated Distribution and Service Plan (the "Plan"),
Series A Investor shares may bear the expense of distribution fees at an annual
rate not to exceed .10% of the average daily net asset value of each Portfolio's
outstanding Series A Investor shares. Under the Plan, Series A Investor shares
may also bear the expense of service fees and shareholder processing fees at
annual rates not to exceed .25% and .15%, respectively, of the average daily net
asset value of each Portfolio's outstanding Series A Investor shares. Pursuant
to the Plan, Series B and Series C Investor shares may bear the expense of
distribution fees at an annual rate not to exceed .75% of the average daily net
asset value of each Portfolio's outstanding Series B and Series C Investor
shares, respectively. Under the Plan, Series B and Series C Investor shares may
also bear the expense of service fees and shareholder processing fees at annual
rates not to exceed .25% and .15%, respectively, of the average daily net assets
of each Portfolio's Series B and Series C Investor shares, respectively.
Pursuant to the Plan, Service shares may bear the expense of service fees and
shareholder processing fees at annual rates not to exceed .15% and .15%,
respectively, of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio's outstanding
Service shares. Institutional shares do not bear the expense of distribution
fees, service fees or shareholder processing fees under the Plan. In addition,
Institutional and Service shares bear a Transfer

     Agent fee at an annual rate not to exceed .03% and Series A Investor,
Series B Investor and Series C Investor shares bear a Transfer Agent fee at an
annual rate not to exceed .10% of the average daily net assets of such
respective classes.

(A) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     SECURITY VALUATION--Portfolio securities for which market quotations are
readily available are valued at market value, which is currently determined
using the last reported sales price. If no sales are reported, as in the case of
some securities traded over-the-counter, portfolio securities are valued at the
mean between the last reported bid and asked prices. Tax-exempt bonds are valued
on the basis of quotations provided by a pricing service which uses information
with respect to transactions on bonds, quotations from bond dealers, market
transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between
securities in determining value. Short-term obligations with maturities of
60 days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
Under this method, securities are valued at cost when purchased and thereafter,
a constant proportionate amortization of any discount or premium is recorded
until the maturity of the security. With respect to the New Jersey Municipal
Money Market Portfolio, the Fund seeks to maintain the net asset value per share
at $1.00, and regular review and monitoring of the amortized cost valuation is
performed in an attempt to avoid dilution or other unfair results to
shareholders. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized for book
and tax purposes using the effective yield-to-maturity method over the term of
the instrument.

     DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS--The net investment income of each Portfolio is
declared daily to investors who are shareholders of such Portfolio at, and whose
payment for share purchases are available to the particular Portfolio in Federal
funds by, the close of business on the day of declaration. Net realized capital
gains, if any, will be distributed at least annually. The character of
distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized
gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for Federal income tax
purposes due to differences between generally accepted accounting principles and
tax accounting, related to the character of income and expense recognition.

     FEDERAL TAXES--No provision is made for Federal taxes as it is the Fund's
intention to have each Portfolio continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will
be sufficient to relieve it from Federal income and excise taxes.

     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Investment transactions are
accounted for on the trade date. The cost of investments sold is determined by
use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and
Federal income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
Certain expenses, principally fees relating to the Plan, are class specific
expenses. Expenses not directly attributable to a specific Portfolio or class
are allocated among all of the Portfolios or classes of the Fund based on their
relative net assets.

     ORGANIZATION COSTS--Costs incurred by each Portfolio in connection with its
organization, registration and initial public offering have been deferred and
are being amortized using the straight-line method over a five-year period
beginning on the date on which each Portfolio commenced its investment
activities.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE COMPASS CAPITAL FUNDS:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the New Jersey
Municipal Money Market and the New Jersey Tax-Free Income Portfolios, formerly
the Compass CapitalNew Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund and the Compass
Capital New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund, respectively, prior to the merger on
January 13, 1996, of The Compass Capital 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 and brokers 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
