1 An investment in the Funds is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Funds.
2 Income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Question: What are your comments on the economy and rising rate environment during the Funds' fiscal year?
Answer: The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed"), led by Chairman Alan Greenspan, has been steadily raising interest rates since June of last year. Their interest rate target for federal funds, a key short-term borrowing rate, has increased from 4.75% to its current level of 6.0%. The Fed's stated goal is to prevent an escalation of inflation pressures by slowing the robust pace of U.S. economic growth. Gross Domestic Product has been growing at an average rate in excess of 6% for the past three quarters, well in excess of the perceived non-inflationary growth rate of 3.4%. In addition, the central bank is worried that the tight labor market (unemployment is currently at a 30-year low of 3.9%) will lead to higher wages, which businesses will in turn ultimately pass on to the consumer in the form of higher product prices. It is their hope that relatively small interest rate hikes now will eliminate the need for more drastic action later. The ability of the Fed to achieve its goal of engineering a "soft landing" will be a key determinant as to whether the current economic expansion, which set a record for longevity earlier this year, will continue to endure.
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 12-month reporting period ended April 30, 2000? 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 5.09% for Class K Shares and 5.35% for Class Y Shares during the 12-month reporting period ended April 30, 2000. The 7-day net yield for the Class K Shares began the period on May 1, 1999 at 4.45% and ended the reporting period on April 30, 2000 at 5.61%. The 7-day net yield for Class Y Shares began the reporting period on May 1, 1999 at 4.70% and ended the reporting period on April 30, 2000 at 5.86%.1 The average maturity of the Fund as of April 30, 2000 was 48 days.
Independence One U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
Independence One U.S Treasury Money Market Fund earned a total return of 4.67% during the 12-month reporting period ended April 30, 2000. The 7-day net yield began the period on May 1, 1999 at 4.19% and ended the reporting period on April 30, 2000 at 5.18%.1 The average maturity of the Fund as of April 30, 2000 was 39 days.
Independence One Michigan Municipal Cash Fund
Independence One Michigan Municipal Cash Fund earned a total return of 3.06% during the 12-month reporting period ended April 30, 2000. The 7-day net yield began the period on May 1, 1999 at 2.99% and ended the reporting period on April 30, 2000 at 4.04%.1 The average maturity of the Fund as of April 30, 2000 was 37 days.
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 mid-year, the Fed appears to be continuing its bias toward raising rates in an effort to cool the economy. What is your outlook for short-term interest rates as we approach mid year?
Answer: There are some indications that the Fed interest rate strategy is beginning to have its desired effect of cooling the economy. For example, the interest rates on home mortgages are currently at their highest level in five years. This is a contributing factor in the recent softness observed in new housing construction as well as existing home sales. In addition, the most recent monthly retail sales data showed a dip for the first time since last June. If these trends were to continue, the probability that the Fed is nearing the end of its monetary tightening program would increase.

Independence One Mutual Funds
Combined Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2000
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.
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.
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.
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. Transactions in shares were as follows:

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.
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. The credit risk associated with such factors was reduced, since at April 30, 2000, 76.2% 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 10.4% of total investments.

Dear Investor:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Independence One Equity and Bond Funds. which covers the 12-month period from May 1, 1999 through April 30, 2000. Inside, you'll find complete financial information for each Fund, beginning with a discussion by the Funds' portfolio managers, followed by a complete listing of each Fund's holdings and the financial statements.
The following highlights summarize Fund performance over the 12-month reporting period:
Independence One Equity Plus Fund--Trust Shares. At the end of the reporting period, this diversified portfolio of high-quality stocks included many household names like ALCOA, American Express, Avon, Bank of America, Black & Decker, Campbell Soup, Coca-Cola, Ford, DuPont, Hewlett Packard, Home Depot, IBM, Intel, 3M, McDonald's, Merrill Lynch and Microsoft. The Fund's Trust Shares produced a 12-month total return of 16.00%1 as the net asset value increased from $22.02 to $24.87. The Fund's Trust Shares also paid income distributions totaling $0.17 per share and capital gain distributions totaling $0.49 per share. The Fund ended the reporting period with $325.7 million in net assets.
Independence One Small Cap Fund. Stocks issued by smaller companies have historically offered the potential for higher returns over time than stocks issued by large companies, in exchange for a higher level of risk.2 Over the 12-month period covered by this report, Independence One Small Cap Fund produced a total return of 17.86% through an increase in net asset value and capital gain distributions totaling $0.55 per share.1 The Fund ended the reporting period with $39.3 million in net assets.
Independence One International Equity Fund. This Fund invests in dynamic companies beyond the United States--companies that feed a growing worldwide appetite for products and services.3 The stocks of these companies are listed on recognized stock exchanges. During the period covered by this report, the Fund produced a total return of 8.63% through a net asset value increase of $0.02, capital gain distributions totaling $1.13 per share and dividend income distributions totaling $0.01 per share.1 The Fund ended the reporting period with $24.6 million in net assets.
1 Performance quoted reflects past performance and 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.
2 Small company stocks may be less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than large capitalization stocks.
3 Foreign investing involves special risks including currency risk, increased volatility of foreign securities and differences in auditing and other financial standards.
Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund--Y Shares. The Fund's portfolio of U.S. government bonds produced an income stream totaling $0.55 per share. The Fund also paid capital gain distributions totaling $0.03 per share. In the rising rate environment that caused bond prices to decline, the Fund's net asset value declined from $10.41 to $10.03. Based on dividends, gains and net asset value change, the Fund produced a total return of 2.08%.1 At the end of the reporting period, 56.1% of the holdings consisted of U.S. Treasury securities, with another 29.9% invested in U.S. government agency securities. The remaining assets were invested in a repurchase agreement. Fund net assets totaled $45.3 million at the end of the reporting period.
Independence One Fixed Income Fund--Trust Shares. This Fund provides a diversified approach to bond investing through a portfolio that, at the end of the reporting period, consisted of 36.0% of U.S. Treasury securities, with another 18.4% invested in U.S. government agency bonds and 41.0% invested in corporate bonds. The Fund paid an income distribution totaling $0.57 per share. The Fund also paid a capital gain distribution totaling $0.01 per share. In the rising rate environment that caused bond prices to decline, the Fund's net asset value declined from $9.99 to $9.54. Based on dividends, gains and net asset value change, the Fund produced a total return of 1.40%.1 Fund net assets totaled $93.2 million at the end of the reporting period.

Question: What are your comments on the stock market, which has exhibited extreme volatility, particularly within the technology-heavy NASDAQ index?
Answer: The stock market has been volatile due to a series of rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") to slow down the economy and combat long-term inflation. We expect the volatility to continue as long as the Fed continues to increase interest rates. The Independence One Equity Plus Fund has performed quite well compared to many indices including the NASDAQ during the volatile reporting period.
Question: What was the total return of Independence One Equity Plus Fund--Trust Shares during the 12-month reporting period ended April 30, 2000?
Answer: The Fund's Trust Shares were up 16.00%1 for the 12-month reporting period ended April 30, 2000, compared to the Standard & Poor's 100 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 100) being up 16.55%.2 The lag in the performance is due to the management fees and the small cash position that is held to facilitate liquidations.

Question: As we reach mid-year, with a series of rate increases and a period of severe declines behind us, what factors may impact the market going forward?
Answer: We feel that several factors may impact the market going forward including the following:
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.
2 The S&P 100 is an unmanaged index of 100 blue chip stocks from diverse industry groups. "Standard & Poor's® ," "S&P® " and "S&P 100® " are trademarks of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and have been licensed for use by Independence One Equity Plus Fund. The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by or affiliated with Standard & Poor's. Investments cannot be made in an index.
Question: What are your comments on the small cap market, which recorded strong returns but weakened late in the reporting period?
Answer: Overall, the small cap market weakened recently as investors left the volatile equity market. The lack of liquidity inherent within the small cap market caused an amplification of the negative returns experienced in the equity markets.
Question: What was the total return of the Independence One Small Cap Fund for the 12-month reporting period ended April 30, 2000 compared to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index1 , the benchmark of the Fund?
Answer: The Independence One Small Cap Fund was up 17.86%2 for the 12-month period ended April 30, 2000. The S&P 600 was up 20.52%.
Question: What is your outlook for the small cap market as we reach mid year?
Answer: Until investors return to the small cap market, we expect the overall returns will be minimal, at best. Valuation levels justify commitment to this market. However, until cash flows increase, the small cap market returns will be suppressed.
1 The S&P SmallCap 600 Index is an unmanaged, capitalization weighted index of 600 common stocks. It is designed to provide a measure of overall small capitalization company performance, and includes common stocks of companies from a variety of economic sectors. "Standard & Poor's® ," "S&P® " and "S&P Small Cap 600® " are trademarks of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and have been authorized for use by Independence One Small Cap Fund. The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by or affiliated with Standard & Poor's. Investment cannot be made in an index.
2 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.
Question: What is your review of the international marketplace, which, as measured by the Morgan Stanley Capital International European Australian, Far East Index (MSCI-EAFE),1 recorded positive performance that outpaced the Standard & Poor's 500 Index2 for the fiscal year?
Answer: International equity markets recorded positive returns over the last year--but like the U.S. equity market, it was a tail of two halves. The first half of the fiscal year saw equity markets continue to rally strongly, defying valuation concerns as investors poured money into highly priced telecom, media and technology stocks. The buying frenzy peaked in the final quarter of 1999 and markets have found the early months of 2000 more difficult as they have been forced to come to grips with rising interest rates, higher bond yields and slowing earnings momentum. Reflecting the disparate nature of equity markets over the last 12 months, the MSCI-EAFE price index rose 27.0% in the eight months ended December 1999, but in the four months ended April 2000 fell 5.3%.
Question: What was the total return of Independence One International Equity Fund for the 12-month period ended April 30, 2000 compared to the MSCI-EAFE?
Answer: For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, the Independence One International Equity Fund earned a total return of 8.63%.3 During the same period, the price appreciation of the MSCI-EAFE was up 12.47%.

1 The MSCI-EAFE is an unmanaged market capitalization weighted foreign securities index, which is widely used to measure performance of European, Australian, New Zealand and Far Eastern stock markets. The index covers approximately 1,020 companies drawn from 18 countries in the above regions. The MSCI-EAFE is monitored by Capital International, S.A., Geneva, Switzerland. Investments cannot be made in an index.
2 The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged composite index of common stocks in industry, transportation and financial and public companies. Investments cannot be made in an index.
3 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.
Question: What regions appear to be the bright spots as we reach mid-year?
Answer: On a relative basis, we continue to prefer international equities over U.S. equities. Both Europe and Japan are entering the recovery phases of their economic expansions with competitive exchange rates-- particularly in the case of the euro. In addition, the prospect of further corporate restructuring, merger and acquisition activity and increasing deregulation of financial markets should provide an added impetus to equity markets in their regions.
In terms of broad strategy, we find better value in Japan, the UK and Switzerland. On a longer term basis, Asia still remains highly attractive, but in the short-term may find rising U.S. interest rates a difficult hurdle to jump.
Despite the recent weakness in the Japanese equity market, the outlook remains positive. The economic recovery is gathering momentum and now appears fully self-sustaining. Growth is expected to be 1.2% this year, rising to 1.6% in 2001, with the risks to the upside rather than the downside. In addition, credit spreads have narrowed as the market's view that systemic risks posed by the fragility of the banking sector have receded.
In the UK, valuation is not as stretched in comparison with the rest of Europe and interest rates appear to have peaked with the manufacturing sector struggling with the high level of the currency. Indeed we envisage the British pound weakening against the euro as the ECB lifts interest rates across Europe and the Bank of England keeps rates relatively steady. Within Europe, we have increased exposure to Switzerland. This is more of a defensive strategy given the Swiss market has under performed broader Europe for over a year and on a valuation basis, looks more attractive than the core markets of France, Germany and Italy.
Question: What are your comments on what has been a difficult year for the bond market due to a continually rising rate environment?
Answer: The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed"), led by Chairman Alan Greenspan, has been steadily raising interest rates since June of last year. Their interest rate target for federal funds, a key short-term borrowing rate, has increased from 4.75% to its current level of 6.0%. The Fed's stated goal is to prevent an escalation of inflation pressures by slowing the robust pace of U.S. economic growth. Gross Domestic Product has been growing at an average rate in excess of 6% for the past three quarters, well in excess of the perceived non-inflationary growth rate of 3.4%. In addition, the central bank is worried that the tight labor market (unemployment is currently at a 30-year low of 3.9%) will lead to higher wages, which businesses will in turn ultimately pass on to the consumer in the form of higher product prices. It is their hope that relatively small interest rate hikes now will eliminate the need for more drastic action later. The ability of the Fed to achieve its goal of engineering a "soft landing" will be a key determinant as to whether the current economic expansion, which set a record for longevity earlier this year, will continue to endure.
Question: How did the Independence One Bond Funds perform during the 12-month reporting period ended April 30, 2000?
Answer: As a general rule, rising interest rates negatively impact bond prices. Consequently, the Independence One Bond Funds experienced a decline in share price which partially offset the interest income earned by the Funds' investment holdings. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000, the Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund--Y Shares earned a total return of 2.08%.1 The total return of the Independence One Fixed Income Fund--Trust Shares during the same period was 1.40%.1
Question: As we reach mid-year, what is your outlook for bonds?
Answer: There are some indications that the Fed interest rate strategy is beginning to have its desired effect of cooling the economy. For example, the interest rates on home mortgages are currently at their highest level in five years. This is a contributing factor in the recent softness observed in new housing construction as well as existing home sales. In addition, the most recent monthly retail sales data showed a dip for the first time since last June. If these trends were to continue, the probability that the Fed is nearing the end of its monetary tightening program would increase. This would likely create a more favorable environment for fixed income investments when compared to the Independence One Bond Funds' most recent fiscal year.

Independence One Mutual Funds
Combined Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2000
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 Equity Plus Fund ("Equity Plus Fund") (d) |
To provide total return. |
Independence One Small Cap Fund ("Small Cap Fund") (d) |
To provide total return. |
Independence One International Equity Fund ("International Equity Fund") (d) |
To provide total return. |
Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund ("U.S. Government Securities Fund") (d) |
To seek high current income. |
Independence One Fixed Income Fund ("Fixed Income Fund") (d) |
To seek total return. |
(d) Diversified portfolio
Equity Plus Fund offers two classes: Trust Shares and Class B Shares and U.S. Government Securities Fund offers two classes: Class Y Shares and Class B Shares. Effective May 1, 2000, Equity Plus Fund will commence offering Class A Shares and Fixed Income Fund will commence offering Class A Shares and Class B Shares. Effective June 30, 2000, Small Cap Fund, International Equity Fund and U.S. Government Securities Fund will designate their existing Class Y Shares as Class A Shares.
The financial statements of the other portfolios not listed above 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.
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 gain 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.
Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing book/tax treatments of net operating loss. The following reclassification has been made to the financial statements.

Net investment income, net realized gains/losses, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
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.
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 Fund's next taxable year.
Additionally, net capital losses for Small Cap Fund and Fixed Income Fund of $383,972 and $284,077, respectively 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 Funds' 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 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 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 Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. For the year ended April 30, 2000, the Fund had a realized gain/loss of $975,585 on futures contracts.
At April 30, 2000, the Fund had outstanding future contracts as set forth below:

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 the 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 year ended April 30, 2000, the Fund had a realized gain of $232,533 on written options.

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 the Fund's 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 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.
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 Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value).

The International Equity Fund invests in securities of non-U.S. issuers. Although the Fund maintains a diversified investment portfolio, the political or economic developments within a particular country or region may have an adverse effect on the ability of domiciled issuers to meet their obligations. Additionally, political or economic developments may have an effect on the liquidity and volatility of portfolio securities and currency holdings.

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.
Question: What are your comments on the stock market, which has exhibited extreme volatility, particularly within the technology-heavy NASDAQ index?
Answer: The stock market has been volatile due to a series of rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") to slow down the economy and combat long-term inflation. We expect the volatility to continue as long as the Fed continues to increase interest rates. The Independence One Equity Plus Fund has performed quite well compared to many indices including the NASDAQ during this volatile reporting period.
Question: What was the total return of Class B Shares of Independence One Equity Plus Fund during its initial period of operation?
Answer: The Fund's Class B Shares total return was 17.54%1 for the period from October 20, 1999 (date of initial public investment) through April 30, 2000, compared to the Standard & Poor's 100 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 100)2 being up 28.97%. The lag in the performance is due to the management fees and the small cash position that is held to facilitate liquidations.
Question: What were the Fund's top 10 holdings at the end of the reporting period?

Question: As we reach mid-year, with a series of rate increases and severe declines behind us, what factors may impact the market going forward?
Answer: We feel that several factors may impact the market going forward including the following:
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, for the period from October 20, 1999 (date of initial public investment) through April 30, 2000, was 12.54%.
2 The S&P 100 is an unmanaged index of 100 blue chip stocks from diverse industry groups. Investment cannot be made in an index.

The Fund is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by or affiliated with Standard & Poor's.
Question: What are your comments on the continually rising rate environment and its impact on the bond market?
Answer: The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed"), led by Chairman Alan Greenspan, has been steadily raising interest rates since June of last year. Their interest rate target for federal funds, a key short-term borrowing rate, has increased from 4.75% to its current level of 6.0%. The Fed's stated goal is to prevent an escalation of inflation pressures by slowing the robust pace of U.S. economic growth. Gross Domestic Product has been growing at an average rate in excess of 6% for the past three quarters, well in excess of the perceived non-inflationary growth rate of 3.4%. In addition, the central bank is worried that the tight labor market (unemployment is currently at a 30-year low of 3.9%) will lead to higher wages, which businesses will in turn ultimately pass on to the consumer in the form of higher product prices. It is their hope that relatively small interest rate hikes now will eliminate the need for more drastic action later. The ability of the Fed to achieve its goal of engineering a "soft landing" will be a key determinant as to whether the current economic expansion, which set a record for longevity earlier this year, will continue to endure.
Question: How did Class B Shares of Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund perform during their initial period of operation?
Answer: As a general rule, rising interest rates negatively impact bond prices. Consequently, the Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund experienced a decline in share price which partially offset the interest income earned by the Fund's investment holdings. For the period from March 8, 2000 (date of initial public investment) through April 30, 2000 the Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund - Class B Shares earned a total return of 0.97%.1
Question: As we reach mid-year, what is your outlook for bonds for the rest of 2000?
Answer: There are some indications that the Fed interest rate strategy is beginning to have its desired effect of cooling the economy. For example, the interest rates on home mortgages are currently at their highest level in five years. This is a contributing factor in the recent softness observed in new housing construction as well as existing home sales. In addition, the most recent monthly retail sales data showed a dip for the first time since last June. If these trends were to continue, the probability that the Fed is nearing the end of its monetary tightening program would increase. This would likely create a more favorable environment for fixed income investments when compared to the Fund's most recent fiscal year.
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, for the period from March 8, 2000 (date of initial public investment) through April 30, 2000 was (4.03%).

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,0001 in the Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund (Class B Shares) (the "Fund") from March 8, 2000 (start of performance) to April 30, 2000, compared to the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index and the Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury/Agency Master Index.2
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN FOR THE PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 20003
Start of Performance (3/8/00) (4.03%)
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Your investment return and principal value will fluctuate so when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than original cost. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.
1 Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund.

The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index and the Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury/Agency Master Index have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indices.
2 The Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index and the Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury/Agency Master Index are not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. These indices are unmanaged. The investment adviser has elected to change the Fund's benchmark from the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index to the Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury/Agency Master Index because, while the two indices are both representative of the securities typically held by the Fund, the Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury/Agency Master Index provides the adviser greater flexibility for review and comparison purposes.
3 Total return quoted reflects all applicable sales chages.

Independence One Mutual Funds
Combined Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2000
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 Equity Plus Fund ("Equity Plus Fund") (d) | To provide total return. | |
Independence One U.S. Government Securities Fund ("U.S. Government Securities Fund") (d) | To seek high current income. |
(d) Diversified portfolio
Equity Plus Fund offers Trust Shares and Class B Shares. U.S. Government Securities Fund offers Class Y Shares and Class B Shares. Effective May 1, 2000, Equity Plus Fund will commence offering Class A Shares. Effective June 30, 2000, U.S. Government Securities Fund will redesignate its existing 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.
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. Investment gain 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.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions --The U.S. Government Securities Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains 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.
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value).
