Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present the semi-annual financial report for Nations 
Institutional Reserves (the "Funds"). We hope you will take a moment to 
review this report. It contains important financial information regarding 
your investment for the six-month period ended October 31, 1998.

ECONOMIC REVIEW
In the past six months, the Federal Open Market Committee twice moved to 
lower the Federal funds rate, easing 25 basis points each time, thus dropping 
the Federal funds rate to 5.00%. This action was largely in response to the 
risks posed by the continuing global financial crisis on U.S. growth, 
exacerbated by the bailout of a major hedge fund. 

LOOKING AHEAD
As we look forward, several thoughts come to mind that lead us to remain 
optimistic about the economy: 1) interest rates have dropped to thirty-year 
lows and the U.S. economy is very rate sensitive; 2) inflation remains in 
check; 3) the Federal Reserve Board has moved to lower the target on the 
Federal funds rate in an effort to fend off any "credit crunch"; and 4) 
Japan's government is attacking its banking crisis with an approach similar 
to that used in the U.S. savings and loan crisis in the 1980s.

While the risk for recession in 1999 is growing, we believe conditions in the 
U.S. will remain sound and that next year will be another year of positive 
economic activity. Consistent monetary policy, a solid fiscal condition, low 
inflation and high employment are important ingredients for our economic 
picture. As these economic and market conditions evolve, our portfolio 
managers will continue to manage the Funds strategically to seek to capture 
relative value along the yield curve.

SERVING YOUR SHORT-TERM INVESTMENT NEEDS
As a series of money market funds designed specifically for the needs of 
institutional investors, the Funds are managed daily to provide your 
organization with access to the major sectors of the money market 
conveniently and cost effectively. 

We thank you for choosing Nations Funds to help pursue your short-term cash 
management needs.

Sincerely,



A. MAX WALKER                           ROBERT H. GORDON

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)         NATIONS INSTITUTIONAL RESERVES

NATIONS INSTITUTIONAL RESERVES (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management
investment company. At October 31, 1998, the Trust offered five portfolios:
Nations Cash Reserves, Nations Treasury Reserves, Nations Government Reserves,
Nations Municipal Reserves and Nations Money Market Reserves (individually, a
"Portfolio", and collectively, the "Portfolios"). The Portfolios currently offer
four classes of shares: Capital Class Shares, Liquidity Class Shares, Adviser
Class Shares and Market Class Shares. Each class of shares of a Portfolio has
identical voting rights, except shareholders of a class have exclusive voting
rights on matters that relate solely to that 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 may 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 time, 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 Portfolio's investment advisor and sub-advisor, acting under
     the supervision of the Board of Trustees, monitor the value of the
     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 credit worthy. Under the terms of a typical
     reverse repurchase agreement, a 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.

</TABLE>

     The average daily balance of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding by
     Nations Treasury Reserves during the six months ended October 31, 1998 was
     $196,966,000. Nations Cash Reserves and Nations Government Reserves did not
     enter into any reverse repurchase agreements during the six months ended
     October 31, 1998.

     The proceeds received by Nations Treasury Reserves under the reverse
     repurchase agreements were reinvested in a tri-party repurchase agreement.
     Net fees earned during the six months ended October 31, 1998, representing
     the difference between interest rates on the reverse repurchase and
     repurchase agreements, amounted to $135,000 and have been included in
     interest income in the Statement of Operations.

     SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Securities transactions
     are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are
     computed on the specific identification of the securities sold. Interest
     income, adjusted for accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums
     calculated ratably, is earned from the settlement date and is recorded on
     the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
     Each Portfolio's investment income and realized 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 daily from net investment income 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.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAX -- Each Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a
     regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of the
     Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated
     investment companies 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 relevant
     Portfolios based upon relative net assets. Operating expenses directly
     attributable to a Portfolio or class of shares are charged to such
     Portfolio's or class's operations. Expenses of each Portfolio not directly
     attributable to the operations of any class of shares are prorated among
     the classes based on the relative net assets of each class of shares.

     CASH FLOW INFORMATION -- Cash, as used in the Statement of Cash Flows, is
     the amount reported in the Statement 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.

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 a non-qualified deferred
compensation plan 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 Nations Treasury Fund, a fund of Nations Fund, Inc. The
expenses for the deferred compensation and retirement plans is included in the
"Trustees' fees and expenses" line of the Statements of Operations.

Certain other affiliated Nations Funds, advised by NBAI, have made daily
investments of cash balances in Nations Cash Reserves, pursuant to an exemptive
order received from the Securities and Exchange Commission. At October 31, 1998,
approximately 3.0% of the net assets of the Nations Cash Reserves was held by
other affiliated Nations Funds.

On September 30, 1998, NationsBank Corporation, the parent of NationsBank,
merged with BankAmerica Corporation.

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 Nations Cash Reserves, Nations Government Reserves, and Nations
Municipal Reserves and 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Liquidity
Class Shares of Nations 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.

The Trust also has adopted shareholder servicing plans ("Servicing Plans") for
the Liquidity Class Shares, Adviser Class Shares 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 Liquidity Class Shares, Adviser Class Shares and Market Class Shares.
Payments under the Servicing Plans are accrued daily and paid monthly at rates
that will not exceed 0.25%, on an annualized basis, of the average daily net
assets of the Liquidity Class Shares, Adviser Class Shares and Market Class
Shares, respectively, of the Portfolios. Fees paid pursuant to the Servicing
Plans are charged as expenses of Liquidity Class Shares, Adviser Class Shares
and Market Class Shares, respectively, as accrued.

  October 1, 1998.

4.   SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST.

At October 31, 1998, an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest
without par value were authorized for the Trust. The Trust's Declaration of
Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to classify or reclassify any shares
authorized, but not issued, into one or more additional classes or series of
shares. Since the Portfolios have sold and redeemed shares only at a constant
net asset value of $1.00 per share, the number of shares represented by such
sales and redemptions is the same as the amounts shown below for such
transactions. Changes in capital stock for each Portfolio were as follows
(amounts in thousands):
