1 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

The fund's Class B Shares total return, based on redemption value, was (8.98%), for the reporting period.

Independence One Small Cap Fund--Class A Shares

Question: What are your comments on the small cap market during the reporting period?

Answer: The small cap market has done well compared to most of its large cap brethren as these companies tend to do well in a slowing economy due to the fact that their capital structure relies little on borrowing.

Question: What was the total return of Independence One Small Cap Fund--Class A Shares during the six-month reporting period ended October 31, 2000 compared to the average small cap fund tracked by the Standard & Poor's SmallCap 600 Index and the Russell 2000 Index?

Answer: The Independence One Small Cap Fund--Class A Shares was up 5.25%,1 based on net asset value, compared to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, the benchmark of the fund, being up 5.08%2 and the Russell 2000 Index being down 3.48%.3

Question: What is your outlook for the small cap market as we reach the close of the year?

Answer: As with the large cap market, the volatility should continue and investors' interest will depend upon the quality of earnings generated.

1 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total return for Class A Shares, based on offering price, was 1.01%, for the reporting period.

Independence One International Equity Fund--Class A Shares

Question: What is your review of the international marketplace during the six-month reporting period?

Answer: International equity markets have been extremely volatile over the last six months--producing negative returns for U.S. based investors. These returns have stemmed from a combination of the continuing strength in the U.S. dollar--which translates into currency losses for holders of non-U.S. assets--and lower share-prices across all international equity markets. In contrast to our expectations six months ago, both Japan and Asia experienced poor returns over the reporting period. For Asia, it was a case of following the lead from the U.S. Nasdaq as technology, internet and semi-conductor stocks all fell sharply in price--reversing a large amount of the gains they experienced in late 1999. In addition, a number of country specific factors weighed heavily on the larger capitalized Asian markets. Korea was undermined by investor unease with progress on resolving the debt problems with the Daewoo and Hyundai Chaebols. In Taiwan, it was political instability with the newly elected President, not part of the KMT--the party which had ruled the island for the last fifty years. In Japan, concerns over the sustainability of the economic recovery--fears magnified by the Bank of Japan ending its zero interest rate policy--and the continued unwinding of corporate cross shareholdings similarly pushed share prices lower. Weaker prices were also seen in European and UK equity markets--particularly in the expensive technology, media and telecom sectors.

Question: What was the total return of Independence One International Equity Fund--Class A Shares during the six-month reporting period ended October 31, 2000 compared to the average international equity fund tracked by the MSCI-EAFE Index?

Answer: The total return of the Independence One International Equity Fund's Class A Shares, based on net asset value, for the six-month reporting period ended October 31, 2000 was (8.46%).1 This compares to a return of (8.90%) for the MSCI EAFE Index.2

1 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total return for Class A Shares, based on offering price was (12.11%) for the reporting period.

Investments cannot be made in an index.

Japan   26.5 %
United Kingdom   20.8 %
France   10.7 %

Total   100.0 %

Question: What regions appear to offer the best opportunities as we reach the close of the year?

Answer: The European and UK regions appear to offer the best opportunities for the fund in the near term. Within Europe, the region is benefiting from the weakness in the euro--the single European currency--and the economies are continuing to exhibit strong growth. Moreover, the euro is expected to appreciate over the coming year--presenting the potential for currency gains for U.S. based investors. Growth in company earnings also remains positive while the European Central Bank is indicating that the peak in short-term interest rates is approaching. With the U.S. dollar looking increasingly vulnerable--reflecting both the size of its current account deficit and the prospective slow-down in the economy--Europe may also benefit from a flight to quality if U.S. financial markets begin to unravel. In a similar vein, the outlook for the UK also looks positive. The Bank of England has not changed official interest rates since February and the next move in rates appears to be down rather than up. Growth forecasts for 2001 have been revised higher and company earnings continue to look quite achievable.

Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund--Class A Shares, Class B Shares

Question: What are your comments on what was a modestly positive reporting period for the bond market?

Answer: Evidence that the Federal Reserve Board's (the "Fed") tight monetary policy is having the desired effect of slowing the economic growth rate benefited the bond market during the past six months. The six interest rate increases dating back to last June have tempered the booming housing market, and the production of durable goods such as motor vehicles have begun to taper. Investors have also been encouraged by recent consumer price data. Although a spike in gasoline prices has been well documented, outside of the energy sector the rate of inflation has continued to be well behaved. The turbulence in the stock market over the past six months has also benefited bonds, as many investors sought refuge in fixed income securities. In addition, high quality bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury and Federal Agencies have been popular investment choices for investors who are concerned that a slowing economy will have a negative impact on future corporate earnings.

Question: How did Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund--Class A Shares and Class B Shares perform during the six-month reporting period ended October 31, 2000?

Answer: The Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund--Class A Shares had a total return, based on net asset value, of 5.07% for the reporting period.1 The Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund--Class B Shares had a total return, based on net asset value, of 4.55% for the reporting period.1

Question: As we reach the close of the year with a slowing economy, what is your outlook for bonds?

Answer: With the unemployment rate hovering at a 30-year low of 3.9%, a reduction in official interest rates by the Fed does not appear imminent. Indeed, the Fed has maintained a tightening bias since its last rate hike on May 16th, insisting that the risks to the economy are still skewed towards heightened inflation pressures as opposed to a recession. However, the most recently released Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes noted that a "softening in business and household demand and tightening conditions in financial markets over recent months suggest that the economy could expand for a time at a pace below the productivity-enhanced rate of growth of its potential to produce." Many market analysts believe that this text is laying the foundation for the Fed to formally switch its policy stance to neutral in the near future. While we concur with this assessment, we think that any actual lowering of rates by the Fed will not take place before next spring.

Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original price. Total return for Class A Shares, based on offering price, for the reporting period was 0.85%. Total return for Class B Shares based on redemption value, for the reporting period was (0.45%).

(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 Valuation-- U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds, other fixed income and asset-backed securities, and unlisted securities and private placement 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, and in the absence of recorded sales for listed equity securities, at the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices. Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase 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. With respect to valuation of foreign securities, trading on foreign exchanges may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange. Therefore, foreign securities are valued at the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded prior to the closing of the New York Stock Exchange. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect at noon, eastern time, on the day the value of the foreign security is determined. Investment gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis.

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 transaction.

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"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Funds could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities.

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 Equity Plus Fund, and U.S. Government Securities Fund offer multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of their respective 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.

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 provision for federal tax is necessary.

Withholding taxes on foreign interest and dividends have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Net currency losses for International Equity Fund of $145,639 were attributed to currency transactions incurred after October 31, 1999. These losses are treated as arising on May 1, 2000, the first day of the International Equity Fund's next taxable year.

Additionally, net capital losses for Small Cap Fund of $383,972 were attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 1999. These losses are treated as arising on May 1, 2000, the first day of the Small Cap Fund's next taxable year.

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.

Futures Contracts-- The International Equity Fund may purchase and sell financial futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield, and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a futures contract with a broker, the International Equity Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities as an initial margin deposit. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account. Daily, the International Equity Fund receives from or pays to the counterparty a specified amount of cash "variation margin" equal to the daily change in the value of the futures contract, When a contract is closed, the International Equity Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. For the period ended October 31, 2000, the International Equity Fund had a realized loss of $397,012 on futures contracts. At October 31, 2000, the International Equity Fund had outstanding future contracts as set forth below:

Expiration Date     Contracts to Deliver/Receive     Position     Notional
Value
    Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
Dec 2000   2 All Ords Index Futures   Long   $ 164,000   $ (1,844 )
Dec 2000   7 FTSE 100 Index Futures   Long     454,300   (29,383 )
Dec 2000   3 Nikkei 225 Index Futures   Long     21,765,000   (25,266 )
Dec 2000   34 DJ Euro Stoxx 50 Index Futures   Long     1,737,740   52,557  
   

Net Unrealized Depreciation on Futures Contracts   $ (3,936 )
   

Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.

Written Options Contracts-- The International Equity Fund may write option contracts. A written option obligates a fund to deliver a call, or to receive a put, the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. For the period ended October 31, 2000, the International Equity Fund had a realized gain of $16,575 on written options.

The following is a summary of the International Equity Fund's written option activity:

Contract     Number of Contracts      Premium
Outstanding at 4/30/00   2         7,517  
Options written   78       15,916  
Options expired   (78 )     (15,916 )
Options closed   (2 )     (7,517 )
Outstanding at 10/31/00   --       --  

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts-- The International Equity Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate settlement transactions in foreign securities and to manage its foreign currency exposure. Purchase contracts are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies; whereas, contracts to sell are used to hedge the Fund's securities against currency fluctuations. Risks may arise upon entering these transactions from the potential inability of counterparts to meet the terms of their commitments and from unanticipated movements in security prices or foreign exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily using foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing service. The change in a contract's market value is recorded by the International Equity Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed or delivery is taken, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

At October 31, 2000, the International Equity Fund had outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts as set forth below:

Settlement Date     Contracts to Receive     In Exchange For     Contracts
at Value
    Unrealized
(Depreciation)
Contracts Purchased:                
11/24/00   607,735 Euro Dollars   $550,000   $516,307   ($33,693)

Foreign Currency Translation -- The accounting records of the International Equity Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies ("FC") are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. Differences between income and expense amounts recorded and collected or paid are adjusted when reported by the custodian bank. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, 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 other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

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.

The Sub-Advisers may elect to waive some or all of their fees.

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses-- Federated Services Company ("FServ") through its subsidiary, Federated Shareholder Services Company ("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.

Independence
One Small
Cap Fund--
Class A Shares

Question: What are your comments on the small cap market during the reporting period?

Answer: The small cap market has done well compared to most of its large cap brethren as these companies tend to do well in a slowing economy due to the fact that their capital structure relies little on borrowing.

Question: What was the total return of Independence One Small Cap Fund--Class A Shares during the six-month reporting period ended October 31, 2000 compared to the average small cap fund tracked by the Standard & Poor's SmallCap 600 Index and the Russell 2000 Index?

Answer: The Independence One Small Cap Fund--Class A Shares was up 5.25%,1 based on net asset value, compared to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, the benchmark of the fund, being up 5.08%2 and the Russell 2000 Index being down 3.48%.3

Question: What is your outlook for the small cap market as we reach the close of the year?

Answer: As with the large cap market, the volatility should continue and investors' interest will depend upon the quality of earnings generated.

1 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

One
International
Equity
Fund--
Class A Shares

Question: What is your review of the international marketplace during the six-month reporting period?

Answer: International equity markets have been extremely volatile over the last six months--producing negative returns for U.S. based investors. These returns have stemmed from a combination of the continuing strength in the U.S. dollar--which translates into currency losses for holders of non-U.S. assets--and lower share-prices across all international equity markets. In contrast to our expectations six months ago, both Japan and Asia experienced poor returns over the reporting period. For Asia, it was a case of following the lead from the U.S. Nasdaq as technology, internet and semi-conductor stocks all fell sharply in price--reversing a large amount of the gains they experienced in late 1999. In addition, a number of country specific factors weighed heavily on the larger capitalized Asian markets. Korea was undermined by investor unease with progress on resolving the debt problems with the Daewoo and Hyundai Chaebols. In Taiwan, it was political instability with the newly elected President, not part of the KMT--the party which had ruled the island for the last fifty years. In Japan, concerns over the sustainability of the economic recovery--fears magnified by the Bank of Japan ending its zero interest rate policy--and the continued unwinding of corporate cross shareholdings similarly pushed share prices lower. Weaker prices were also seen in European and UK equity markets--particularly in the expensive technology, media and telecom sectors.

Question: What was the total return of Independence One International Equity Fund--Class A Shares during the reporting period ended October 31, 2000 compared to the average international equity fund tracked by the MSCI-EAFE Index?

Answer: The total return of the Independence One International Equity Fund's Class A Shares, based on net asset value, for the reporting period ended October 31, 2000 was (8.46%).1 This compares to a return of (8.90%) for the MSCI EAFE Index.2

1 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total return, for Class A Shares, based on offering price was (12.11%), for the reporting period.

Question: What regions appear to offer the best opportunities as we reach the close of the year?

Answer: The European and UK regions appear to offer the best opportunities for the fund in the near term. Within Europe, the region is benefiting from the weakness in the euro--the single European currency--and the economies are continuing to exhibit strong growth. Moreover, the euro is expected to appreciate over the coming year--presenting the potential for currency gains for U.S. based investors. Growth in company earnings also remains positive while the European Central Bank is indicating that the peak in short-term interest rates is approaching. With the U.S. dollar looking increasingly vulnerable--reflecting both the size of its current account deficit and the prospective slow-down in the economy--Europe may also benefit from a flight to quality if U.S. financial markets begin to unravel. In a similar vein, the outlook for the UK also looks positive. The Bank of England has not changed official interest rates since February and the next move in rates appears to be down rather than up. Growth forecasts for 2001 have been revised higher and company earnings continue to look quite achievable.

Question: What are your comments on what was a modestly positive reporting period for the bond market?

Answer: Evidence that the Federal Reserve Board's (the "Fed") tight monetary policy is having the desired effect of slowing the economic growth rate benefited the bond market during the past six months. The six interest rate increases dating back to last June have tempered the booming housing market, and the production of durable goods such as motor vehicles have begun to taper. Investors have also been encouraged by recent consumer price data. Although a spike in gasoline prices has been well documented, outside of the energy sector the rate of inflation has continued to be well behaved. The turbulence in the stock market over the past six months has also benefited bonds, as many investors sought refuge in fixed income securities. In addition, high quality bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury and Federal Agencies have been popular investment choices for investors who are concerned that a slowing economy will have a negative impact on future corporate earnings.

Question: How did Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund--Class A Shares perform during the reporting period ended October 31, 2000?

Answer: The Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund-- Class A Shares had a total return, based on net asset value, of 5.07% for the reporting period.1

Question: As we reach the close of the year with a slowing economy, what is your outlook for bonds?

Answer: With the unemployment rate hovering at a 30-year low of 3.9%, a reduction in official interest rates by the Fed does not appear imminent. Indeed, the Fed has maintained a tightening bias since its last rate hike on May 16th, insisting that the risks to the economy are still skewed towards heightened inflation pressures as opposed to a recession. However, the most recently released Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes noted that a "softening in business and household demand and tightening conditions in financial markets over recent months suggest that the economy could expand for a time at a pace below the productivity-enhanced rate of growth of its potential to produce." Many market analysts believe that this text is laying the foundation for the Fed to formally switch its policy stance to neutral in the near future. While we concur with this assessment, we think that any actual lowering of rates by the Fed will not take place before next spring.

Independence One Mutual Funds
Combined Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2000 (unaudited)

(1) Organization

Independence One Mutual Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act") as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements of the following diversified portfolios (individually referred to as the "Fund", or collectively as the "Funds") are presented herein:

Portfolio Name Investment Objective
Independence One Equity Plus Fund ("Equity Plus Fund") To provide total return.
Independence One Small Cap Fund ("Small Cap Fund") To provide total return.
Independence One International Equity Fund ("International Equity Fund") To provide total return.
Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund ("U.S. Government Securities Fund") To seek high current income.
Independence One Fixed Income Fund ("Fixed Income Fund") To seek total return.

Effective May 1, 2000, Equity Plus Fund commenced offering Class A Shares in addition to the existing Trust Shares and Class B Shares. Also effective May 1, 2000, Fixed Income Fund commenced offering Class A Shares and Class B Shares in addition to the existing Trust Shares. Effective June 30, 2000, Small Cap Fund, International Equity Fund and U.S. Government Securities Fund redesignated Class Y Shares as Class A Shares.

The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.

(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 Valuation-- U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds, other fixed income and asset-backed securities, and unlisted securities and private placement 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, and in the absence of recorded sales for listed equity securities, at the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices. Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase 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. With respect to valuation of foreign securities, trading on foreign exchanges may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange. Therefore, foreign securities are valued at the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded prior to the closing of the New York Stock Exchange. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect at noon, eastern time, on the day the value of the foreign security is determined. Investment gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis.

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 transaction.

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"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Funds could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities.

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 Equity Plus Fund, and U.S. Government Securities Fund offer multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of their respective 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.

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 provision for federal tax is necessary.

Withholding taxes on foreign interest and dividends have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

At April 30, 2000, Fixed Income Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $507,863, 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. This capital loss carryforward will expire April 30, 2008.

Additionally, net capital losses for Fixed Income Fund of $284,077 were attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 1999. These losses are treated as arising on May 1, 2000, the first day of the Fund's next taxable year.

Net currency losses for International Equity Fund of $145,639 were attributed to currency transactions incurred after October 31, 1999. These losses are treated as arising on May 1, 2000, the first day of the International Equity Fund's next taxable year.

Additionally, net capital losses for Small Cap Fund of $383,972 were attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 1999. These losses are treated as arising on May 1, 2000, the first day of the Small Cap Fund's next taxable year.

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.

Futures Contracts-- The International Equity Fund may purchase and sell financial futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield, and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a futures contract with a broker, the International Equity Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities as an initial margin deposit. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account. Daily, the International Equity Fund receives from or pays to the counterparty a specified amount of cash "variation margin" equal to the daily change in the value of the futures contract, When a contract is closed, the International Equity Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. For the period ended October 31, 2000, the International Equity Fund had a realized loss of $397,012 on futures contracts. At October 31, 2000, the International Equity Fund had outstanding future contracts as set forth below:

Expiration Date   Contracts to Deliver/Receive   Position Notional
Value
Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
Dec 2000   2 All Ords Index Futures   Long   $ 164,000 $ (1,844 )
Dec 2000   7 FTSE 100 Index Futures   Long   454,300 (29,383 )
Dec 2000   3 Nikkei 225 Index Futures   Long   21,765,000   (25,266 )
Dec 2000   34 DJ Euro Stoxx 50 Index Futures   Long   1,737,740 52,557  
Net Unrealized Depreciation on Futures Contracts   $ (3,936 )

Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.

Written Options Contracts-- The International Equity Fund may write option contracts. A written option obligates a fund to deliver a call, or to receive a put, the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. For the period ended October 31, 2000, the International Equity Fund had a realized gain of $16,575 on written options.

The following is a summary of the International Equity Fund's written option activity:

Contract   Number of Contracts Premium
Outstanding at 4/30/00   2   7,517    
Options written   78   15,916    
Options expired   (78   ) (15,916   )
Options closed   (2   ) (7,517   )
Outstanding at 10/31/00   --   --    

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts-- The International Equity Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate settlement transactions in foreign securities and to manage its foreign currency exposure. Purchase contracts are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies; whereas, contracts to sell are used to hedge the Fund's securities against currency fluctuations. Risks may arise upon entering these transactions from the potential inability of counterparts to meet the terms of their commitments and from unanticipated movements in security prices or foreign exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily using foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing service. The change in a contract's market value is recorded by the International Equity Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed or delivery is taken, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

At October 31, 2000, the International Equity Fund had outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts as set forth below:

Settlement Date   Contracts to Receive In Exchange For Contracts
at Value
Unrealized
(Depreciation)
Contracts Purchased:  
11/24/00   607,735 Euro Dollars $550,000 $516,307 ($33,693)

Foreign Currency Translation -- The accounting records of the International Equity Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies ("FC") are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. Differences between income and expense amounts recorded and collected or paid are adjusted when reported by the custodian bank. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, 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 other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

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.

(the "Sub-Adviser"), the Sub-Adviser is entitled to receive an annual fee from the Adviser equal to 0.30% of the International Equity Fund's average daily net assets.

The Sub-Advisers may elect to waive some or all of their fees.

Administrative Fee-- Federated Administrative Services ("FAS") provides the Funds with certain administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based on a scale that ranges from 0.15% to 0.075% of the average aggregate net assets of the Trust for the period, subject to a minimum fee of $50,000 for each portfolio in the Trust. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive a portion of its fee.

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 compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Funds to finance activities intended to result in the sale of Fund's Class A Shares and Class B Shares. The Plan provides that the Funds may incur distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC.

Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses-- Federated Services Company ("FServ") through its subsidiary, Federated Shareholder Services Company ("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.

Organizational Expenses-- Organizational expenses for Fixed Income Fund were borne initially by Federated Administrative Services ("FAS"). Fixed Income Fund has reimbursed FAS for these expenses. These expenses have been deferred and are being amortized over the five year period following the Fund's effective date.

Investment Review

Question: What are your comments on the economy and rate environment during the six-month reporting period?

Answer: Evidence that the Federal Reserve Board's (the "Fed") tight monetary policy is having the desired effect of slowing the economic growth rate benefited the short-term bond market during the past six months. The six interest rate increases dating back to last June have tempered the booming housing market, and the production of durable goods such as motor vehicles have begun to taper. Investors have also been encouraged by recent consumer price data. Although a spike in gasoline prices has been well documented, outside of the energy sector the rate of inflation has continued to be well behaved.

Question: In this environment, how did the Independence One Money Market Funds perform for shareholders in terms of income and 7-day net yield during the six-month reporting period ended October 31, 2000? And what was the average maturity of each Fund?

Answer: Independence One Prime Money Market Fund

Independence One Prime Money Market Fund earned a total return of 3.04% for Class K Shares and 3.17% for Class Y Shares during the six-month reporting period ended October 31, 2000. The 7-day net yield for the Class K Shares ended the reporting period on October 31, 2000 at 6.12%. The 7-day net yield for the Class Y Shares ended the reporting period on October 31, 2000 at 6.37%. The average maturity of the Fund as of October 31, 2000 was 52 days.1

Independence One U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund

Independence One U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund earned a total return of 2.91% during the six-month reporting period ended October 31, 2000. The 7-day net yield for the Fund ended the reporting period on October 31, 2000 at 5.83%. The average maturity of the Fund as of October 31, 2000 was 43 days.1

Independence One Michigan Municipal Cash Fund

Independence One Michigan Municipal Cash Fund earned a total return of 1.91% during the six-month reporting period ended October 31, 2000. The 7-day net yield for the Fund ended the reporting period on October 31, 2000 at 3.76%. The average maturity of the Fund as of October 31, 2000 was 18 days.1

1 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Yields will vary. Yields quoted for money market funds most closely reflect the Funds' current earnings.

Question: As we reach the close of the year, a slowing economy seems to have put the Fed on the sidelines. What is your outlook for short-term interest rates as we approach the close of the year?

Answer: With the unemployment rate hovering at a 30-year low of 3.9%, a reduction in official interest rates by the Fed does not appear imminent. Indeed, the Fed has maintained a tightening bias since its last rate hike on May 16th, insisting that the risks to the economy are still skewed towards heightened inflation pressures as opposed to a recession. However, the most recently released Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes noted that a "softening in business and household demand and tightening conditions in financial markets over recent months suggest that the economy could expand for a time at a pace below the productivity-enhanced rate of growth of its potential to produce." Many market analysts believe that this text is laying the foundation for the Fed to formally switch its policy stance to neutral in the near future. While we concur with this assessment, we think that any actual lowering of rates by the Fed will not take place before next spring.

Independence One Mutual Funds
Combined Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2000 (unaudited)

(1) Organization

Independence One Mutual Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act") as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios. The financial statements of the following portfolios (individually referred to as the "Fund", or collectively as the "Funds") are presented herein:

Portfolio Name     Investment Objective
Independence One Prime Money Market Fund ("Prime Money Market Fund")   To provide current income consistent with stability of principal.
Independence One U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund ("U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund")   To provide current income consistent with stability of principal.
Independence One Michigan Municipal Cash Fund ("Michigan Municipal Cash Fund")   To provide stability of income and current income exempt from federal regular income tax and Michigan state income tax consistent with stability of principal.

The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.

(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 Valuation--The Funds use of the amortized cost method to value their portfolio securities is in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. The Funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. 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 transaction.

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"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Funds could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities. The Funds, 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 Prime Money Market 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.

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 provision for federal tax is necessary.

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.

(3) Shares of Beneficial Interest

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value) for each class of shares. At October 31, 2000, capital paid-in for Prime Money Market Fund, U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, and Michigan Municipal Cash Fund aggregated $736,561,184, $243,596,780, and $108,501,917, respectively.

(4) Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Investment Adviser Fee--Michigan National Bank, the Funds' investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.40% of each Fund's average daily net assets. 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 a scale that ranges from 0.15% to 0.075% of the average aggregate net assets of the Trust for the period, subject to a minimum fee of $50,000 for each portfolio in the Trust. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive a portion of its fee.

Shareholder Services Fee--Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Michigan National Bank, Prime Money Market Fund will pay Michigan National Bank up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Class K Shares for the period. The fee paid to Michigan National Bank is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts.

Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees--Federated Services Company ("FServ"), through its subsidiary, Federated Shareholder Services Company ("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 Funds' accounting records for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

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

General--Certain of the Officers of the Trust are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.

(5) Concentration of Credit Risk

Since Michigan Municipal Cash 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 tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at October 31, 2000, 76.5% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are 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 18.8% of total investments.
