Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present the annual financial report for Nations Institutional
Reserves (the "Funds"). This report contains important financial information
regarding your investment for the period ended March 31, 1999. We hope you will
take a moment to review this information.

ECONOMIC REVIEW
During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)
implemented two Federal Funds Rate cuts, which were critical in stabilizing the
capital markets. However, the FOMC's actions were not isolated. Central banks
around the world cut interest rates and injected liquidity into the system -- as
many as 60 interest rate cuts were observed throughout the last two quarters of
1998, globally. Real Gross Domestic Product growth was 4.0% for the full year of
1998 and the economy grew at a robust 6.0%. A strong U.S. dollar, coupled with
declining raw commodity prices, reinforce the view of a benign inflation
environment despite low unemployment numbers.

LOOKING AHEAD
Members of the FOMC continue to ponder two questions. First, can the U.S.
economy grow at an above-trend pace without a rekindling of inflation? Second,
can the U. S. remain as what Federal Reserve Board (Fed) Chairman Alan Greenspan
once called "an oasis of prosperity?" The answer to both questions is likely
yes, so far. It is expected that the Fed will keep its interest rate policy
steady throughout the first six months of 1999, but some debate ensues about the
Committee's position for the latter half of the year. Bond yields have moved
higher recently on fears that strong growth might force the Fed to raise
interest rates. Stock market gains, signs of strength in consumption, and the
condition of the world economy may provoke "a bias to tighten" interest rates.

NATIONS INSTITUTIONAL RESERVES
   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Nations Institutional Reserves (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment
company. In 1999, the Trust's fiscal year end changed to March 31. Prior to
this, the fiscal year end was April 30. At March 31, 1999, the Trust offered
five portfolios: Nations Cash Reserves, Nations Money Market Reserves, Nations
Treasury Reserves, Nations Government Reserves and Nations Municipal Reserves
(individually, a "Portfolio", and collectively, the "Portfolios"). At March 31,
1999, the Portfolios offered four classes of shares: Capital Class Shares,
Liquidity Class Shares, Adviser Class Shares and Market Class Shares.
Shareholders of a Portfolio have equal voting rights on matters affecting all
shareholders of the Portfolio. In addition, each class of shares of a Portfolio
has exclusive voting rights on matters that relate solely to its class and
separate voting rights on matters in which the interests of one class differ
from the interests of any other class.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of
their financial statements.

Securities Valuation:  Securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost,
which approximates market value. Amortized cost valuation involves initially
valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant
amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, as long as the effect of
fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instrument is not
significant. Restricted securities and certain other assets are valued by the
investment advisor under the supervision of the Board of Trustees.

Repurchase Agreements:  Each Portfolio may engage in repurchase agreement
transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Portfolio
takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of
the seller to repurchase, and the Portfolio to resell, the obligation at an
agreed-upon price and date, thereby determining the yield during the Portfolio's
holding period. This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not
subject to market fluctuations during the Portfolio's holding period. The value
of the collateral is at least equal at all times to the total amount of the
repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of
counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to
offset losses incurred. There would be a potential loss to the Portfolio in the
event the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose
of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the
value of the underlying securities during the period while the Portfolio seeks
to assert its right. The Portfolios' investment advisor and sub-advisor, acting
under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, monitor the value of collateral
received as well as the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which
the Portfolios enter into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements:  Nations Cash Reserves, Nations Treasury Reserves
and Nations Government Reserves may enter into reverse repurchase agreements
with institutions that the Portfolios' investment advisor and sub-advisor have
determined are creditworthy. Under the terms of a typical reverse repurchase
agreement, the Portfolio sells securities and agrees to repurchase them at a
mutually agreed upon date and price. At the time the Portfolio enters into a
reverse repurchase agreement, it establishes a segregated account with its
custodian bank in which it will maintain cash, U.S. Government securities or
other appropriate liquid securities at least equal in value to the Portfolio's
obligations arising under the reverse repurchase agreement. Reverse repurchase
agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities purchased
with the proceeds from the sale of securities received by the Portfolio may
decline below the price of the securities that the Portfolio is obligated to
repurchase. Securities subject to repurchase under reverse repurchase agreements
are designated in the Statement of Net Assets.

At March 31, 1999, Treasury Reserves had reverse repurchase agreements
outstanding as follows:

NATIONS INSTITUTIONAL RESERVES

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (CONTINUED)

The average daily balance of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding by
Treasury Reserves during the year ended March 31, 1999 was $331,792,872. Cash
Reserves and Government Reserves did not enter into any reverse repurchase
agreements during the year ended March 31, 1999.

The proceeds received by Treasury Reserves under the reverse repurchase
agreements were reinvested in a tri-party repurchase agreement. Net fees earned
during the year ended March 31, 1999, representing the difference between
interest rates on the reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements, amounted to
$398,151 and have been included in interest income in the Statement of
Operations.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are
accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are computed based on the
specific identification of securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for
accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums calculated ratably, is
earned from settlement date and recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is
recorded on ex-dividend date. Each Portfolio's investment income and realized
and unrealized gains and losses are allocated among its classes based upon the
relative net assets of each class of shares.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders:  It is the policy of each Portfolio
to declare dividends from net investment income daily and to pay such dividends
monthly. Each Portfolio will distribute net realized short-term capital gains
annually after the fiscal year in which the capital gains were earned or more
frequently to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share, unless offset by
any available capital loss carryforward. Income distributions and capital gain
distributions on a Portfolio level are determined in accordance with Federal
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles.

Certain reclassifications are made to each Portfolio's capital accounts to
reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss
carryforwards) under Federal income tax regulations. These reclassifications are
due to different book and tax accounting for capital loss carryforwards from
mergers.

Reclassifications for the year ended March 31, 1999 were as follows:

* Amount represents less than $500.

Federal Income Tax:  Each Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company by complying with the applicable requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and by distributing substantially
all of its earnings to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for
Federal income or excise taxes.

Expenses:  General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Portfolios based
upon their relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies
determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to a
Portfolio or class of shares are charged to such Portfolio or class. Expenses
not directly attributable to any class of shares are prorated based on the
relative net assets of each class.

Cash Flow Information:  Cash, as used in the Statement of Cash Flows, is the
amount reported in the Statements of Net Assets and represents cash on hand at
custodian banks. The Trust issues and redeems shares, invests in securities, and
distributes dividends from net investment income and net capital gains (which
are either paid in cash or reinvested at the discretion of shareholders). These
activities are reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Information
on cash payments is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows.

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, SUB-ADVISORY FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE AND RELATED
   PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Investment
Advisory Agreement") with NationsBanc Advisors, Inc. ("NBAI"), a wholly-owned

New York ("BNY") began serving as sub-administrator of the Trust pursuant to an
agreement with NBAI, and NBAI ceased to serve as sub-administrator. For the year
ended March 31, 1999, Stephens earned $933,393 from the Portfolios for its
administration services and NBAI waived all of its fees from the Portfolios for
administration services.

The investment advisor, sub-advisor and distributor may, from time to time,
voluntarily reduce their fees payable by each Portfolio. For the year ended
March 31, 1999, the investment advisor agreed to voluntarily reimburse expenses
and/or waive its advisory and co-administration fees to the extent that total
expenses (excluding shareholder servicing and distribution fees) exceed 0.20% of
each Portfolio's average daily net assets.

Effective October 19, 1998, BNY began serving as the custodian of the Trust's
assets. Previously, NationsBank of Texas, N.A. ("NationsBank of Texas") served
as custodian until May 6, 1998, when it was merged with NationsBank. BNY acted
as sub-custodian to the Funds until that date. For the year ended March 31,
1999, NationsBank of Texas and NationsBank earned $14,082 for providing such
services. For the year ended March 31, 1999, expenses of the Cash Reserves,
Money Market Reserves, Treasury Reserves and Government Reserves were reduced by
$12,663 under expense offset arrangements with BNY. The Funds could have
invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset
arrangements in an income producing asset if they had not entered into such
arrangements. The Municipal Reserves does not participate in the expense offset
arrangement.

First Data serves as the transfer agent for the Portfolios' shares. NationsBank
of Texas also served as the sub-transfer agent for the Capital Class Shares of
the Portfolios until it merged with NationsBank on May 6, 1998. NationsBank
began serving as the sub-transfer agent for the Capital Class Shares of the
Portfolios on that date and is providing the same services as were previously
provided by NationsBank of Texas. Stephens serves as distributor of the
Portfolios' shares.

The Trust pays each unaffiliated Trustee an annual fee of $1,000 ($3,000 for the
Chairman of the Board), plus $500 per Portfolio and an additional $1,000 for
each in-person board meeting, and $500 for each telephonic board meeting
attended. The Trust also reimburses expenses incurred by each unaffiliated
Trustee in attending such meetings.

The Trust's eligible Trustees may participate in non-qualified deferred
compensation and retirement plans which may be terminated at any time. All
benefits provided under these plans are unfunded and any payments to plan
participants are paid solely out of the Portfolios' assets. Income earned on
each plan participant's deferral account is tied to the rate of return of the
eligible mutual funds selected by the participants or, if no funds are selected,
to the rate of return of the Nations Treasury Fund, a portfolio of Nations
Funds, Inc. The expense for the deferred compensation and retirement plans is
included in "Trustees' fees and expenses" in the Statements of Operations.

Certain other affiliated Nations Funds, advised by NBAI, have made daily
investments of cash balances in the Cash Reserves, pursuant to an exemptive
order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. At March 31, 1999,

11.8% of the net assets of the Cash Reserves was held by other affiliated
Nations Funds.

3. SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AND
    DISTRIBUTION PLANS

The Trust has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
Act for the Liquidity Class Shares ("Liquidity Class Shares Plan") and the
Market Class Shares ("Market Class Shares Plan") of the Portfolios. Under the
Liquidity Class Shares Plan, the Trust may reimburse Stephens for actual
expenses incurred by Stephens in connection with the distribution of Liquidity
Class Shares up to 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Liquidity Class
Shares of the Portfolios. Under the Market Class Shares Plan, the Trust may
compensate or reimburse Stephens for any activities or expenses primarily
intended to result in the sale of the Market Class Shares up to 0.20% of the
average daily net assets of the Market Class Shares of the Portfolios.
Currently, the Trust is not reimbursing Stephens for any portion of such
expenses for Liquidity Class Shares. Unreimbursed expenses incurred by Stephens
in a given year may not be recovered by Stephens in subsequent years.

In addition, the Liquidity Class Shares Plan permits the Trust to pay Stephens
an annual fee of up to 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Liquidity
Class Shares of the Cash Reserves, Money Market Reserves, Government Reserves
and Municipal Reserves and 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the
Liquidity Class Shares of the Treasury Reserves. Stephens may use this fee to
compensate certain financial institutions, with which it has entered into
servicing agreements, that provide administrative and/or distribution services
to Liquidity Class Shares shareholders. Currently, the Trust is not compensating
Stephens for providing such services.

The Trust also has adopted shareholder servicing plans ("Servicing Plans") for
the Liquidity, Adviser and Market Class Shares of the Portfolios. Under the
Servicing Plans, a Portfolio may pay servicing agents that have entered into a
shareholder servicing agreement with the Trust for certain shareholder support
services that are provided by the servicing agents to holders of the classes'
shares. Payments under the Servicing Plans will not exceed 0.25%, on an
annualized basis, of the average daily net assets of the classes' shares and are
charged as expenses of each Portfolio directly to the applicable class.

At March 31, 1999, the rates in effect, as a percentage of average daily net
assets, were as follows:

A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid
to affiliates of NationsBank and NBAI.

4. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At March 31, 1999, an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest without
par value was authorized for the Trust. The Trust's Declaration of Trust
authorizes the Board of Trustees to classify or reclassify any authorized, but
unissued shares into one or more additional classes or series of shares. See
Schedule of Capital Stock Activity.

5. RESTRICTED SECURITIES

Certain securities may be subject to legal restrictions and may be difficult to
sell. In addition, no Portfolio will invest more than 10% of the value of its
net assets in securities that are illiquid.

The following securities are considered both illiquid and restricted as to
resale. Accordingly, they are valued at fair value in good faith by the
investment advisor under the direction of the Board of Trustees, taking into
consideration such factors as the Board deems appropriate.

6.  LINE OF CREDIT

The Trust participates in an uncommitted line of credit provided by BNY under a
line of credit agreement (the "Agreement"). Advances under the Agreement are
taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of
redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of
securities. Interest on borrowings is payable at the Federal Funds Rate plus
0.50% on an annualized basis. Each participating Portfolio maintains a ratio of
no less than 4 to 1 net assets (not including funds borrowed pursuant to the
Agreement) to aggregate amount of indebtedness pursuant to the Agreement.

For the year ended March 31, 1999, there were no borrowings by the Portfolios
under the Agreement.

8.  REORGANIZATIONS

On May 15, 1998, Treasury Reserves (the "Acquiring Fund"), acquired the assets
and certain liabilities of the Emerald Treasury Advantage Institutional Fund
(the "Acquired Fund"), in a tax-free reorganization in exchange for shares of
the Acquiring Fund, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the
Acquired Fund's shareholders. The value of shares issued by the Acquiring Fund
is presented in the Schedule of Capital Stock Activity. Net assets as of the
reorganization date of the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund prior to
acquisition, and the Acquiring Fund immediately after acquisition, were
$144,375,000, $1,630,778,000 and $1,775,153,000, respectively.

On May 22, 1998, Money Market Reserves, a newly established Portfolio, acquired
the assets and certain liabilities of the Emerald Prime Advantage Institutional
Fund pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by its shareholders. The
acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of Money Market
Reserves in an amount equal to the value of the outstanding shares of the
Emerald Prime Advantage Institutional Fund. The financial statements of Money
Market Reserves reflect the historical financial results of the Emerald Prime
Advantage Institutional Fund prior to the reorganization. Additionally, the
fiscal year end of the Emerald Prime Advantage Institutional Fund for financial
reporting purposes was changed to coincide with that of the Trust.

9.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

The Trust was party to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with the Pacific
Horizon Funds, Inc. (a family of mutual funds advised by Bank of America NT&SA,
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation) pursuant to
which the assets and liabilities (net) of the Pacific Horizon Government and
Treasury Only Funds, Prime Fund, Tax-Exempt Money Fund and Treasury Fund of
$471,810,236, $13,963,106,746, $754,047,900 and $3,144,070,928, respectively,
were acquired in a tax-free reorganization in exchange for shares of the Nations
Government Reserves, Cash Reserves, Municipal Reserves and Treasury Reserves on
May 14, 1999.

Effective May 14, 1999, the maximum contractual levels of advisory fees payable
by the Portfolios changed. At that time, the maximum contractual advisory fee
that NBAI was entitled to receive from the Portfolios decreased from 0.30% of
the Portfolios' average daily net assets to 0.15% of the Portfolios' average
daily net assets.

NATIONS INSTITUTIONAL RESERVES
   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND TRUSTEES OF NATIONS INSTITUTIONAL RESERVES

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets, and the related
statements of operations, of cash flows for Nations Treasury Reserves, and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Nations Cash Reserves, Nations
Treasury Reserves, Nations Government Reserves, Nations Municipal Reserves, and
Nations Money Market Reserves (each a series of Nations Institutional Reserves,
hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at March 31, 1999, and the results of each
of their operations, the cash flows for Nations Treasury Reserves, the changes
in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods
indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at March
31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above. The Statement of Operations of Nations Money Market
Reserves for the period December 1, 1997 through May 15, 1998, the statements of
changes in net assets for the period December 1, 1997 through May 15, 1998 and
the year ended November 30, 1997, and the financial highlights for the periods
indicated were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated July
1, 1998 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
