PRESIDENTS' MESSAGE
                           Dear Shareholder:

                           The six-month period ended September 30, 2000 proved
                           to be quite unsettling for mutual fund investors.
                           Several factors led to turbulence in U.S. and
                           overseas markets. The Federal Reserve Board's
                           practice of increasing interest rates in an attempt
                           to slow down the economy and keep inflation at bay
                           took a toll on the stock market. Oil prices soared
                           over the summer causing concern across the country as
                           several cities saw gas prices above $2.00 per gallon.
                           The slowing economy affected earnings at a number of
                           leading U.S. companies, causing additional volatility
                           in the stock market. Overseas, the European Central
                           Bank raised interest rates in August -- the fifth
                           rate hike this year -- and the euro fell to a record
                           low. In Japan, the Bank of Japan increased interest
                           rates for the first time in a decade, adding
                           additional strain to an economy that has struggled
                           over the last several years.

                           The only seemingly bright spot for investors during
                           the past six months has been in the bond market.
                           Because of the federal government's budget surplus,
                           the U.S. Treasury has had to buy back many of its
                           long-term securities. The shortage in long-term
                           securities has generally increased returns on these
                           securities, resulting in an inversion of the yield
                           curve -- whereby short-term securities are yielding
                           more than many longer-term securities. This is the
                           first time in a long time that most bond sectors have
                           outperformed both the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
                           Stock Price Index and the Nasdaq Composite Index*.

                           Now, you're probably asking yourself "Is this a good
                           time to invest in stocks or bonds?" We think the
                           answer is "Yes." While stocks of all sizes have
                           historically outperformed bonds over the long-term,
                           and bonds have performed well this year, a broadly
                           diversified portfolio -- one consisting of both
                           stocks and bonds -- can help you weather market
                           volatility. Remember that the financial markets tend
                           to be cyclical and while one asset class or
                           investment style may be the flavor of the month, it
                           could be out of favor the next.

                           It's also important to note that volatility tends to
                           keep some investors on the sidelines. But waiting for
                           the right time to invest may result in missed
                           opportunities. Disciplined investing requires staying
                           invested through market highs and lows. Investors can
                           also take advantage of dollar cost averaging** during
                           volatile times -- the practice of systematic
                           investing where you seek to buy more shares when
                           prices are low and fewer shares when prices are high,
                           resulting in a lower average share price over time.
                           Remaining invested and regularly investing is key.

                           Whether it's growth vs. value, large cap vs. small
                           cap, stocks vs. bonds, or U.S. vs. international, no
                           single investment style alone will assure that you
                           achieve your long-term financial goals. We believe
                           diversification is the key to long-term success and
                           an investment professional can help you create a
                           portfolio best suited to your risk tolerance and
                           investment time horizon.

                           *The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price
                           Index is an unmanaged index of 500 widely held
                           common stocks. It is unavailable for investment. The
                           Nasdaq Composite Index tracks the performance of
                           domestic common stocks traded on the regular Nasdaq
                           market as National Market System traded foreign
                           stocks and ADRs. It is unmanaged and unavailable for
                           investment.

                           **Dollar cost averaging does not ensure a profit or
                           protect against a loss in a declining market. You
                           should carefully consider your ability to make
                           regular investments through periods of fluctuating
                           market conditions.

                           PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                      (UNAUDITED)

Nations Fund Trust (the "Trust"), Nations Reserves ("Reserves") and Nations
Funds Trust ("Funds Trust") are each registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. At
September 30, 2000, the Trust offered thirty-four separate portfolios, Reserves
offered sixteen separate portfolios and Funds Trust offered five separate
portfolios. These financial statements pertain only to the municipal bond
portfolios of the Trust, Reserves and Funds Trust: Short-Term Municipal Income
Fund, Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Municipal Income Fund, California
Municipal Bond Fund, Florida Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Florida Municipal
Bond Fund, Georgia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Georgia Municipal Bond
Fund, Kansas Municipal Income Fund, Maryland Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund,
Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, North Carolina Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund,
North Carolina Municipal Bond Fund, South Carolina Intermediate Municipal Bond
Fund, South Carolina Municipal Bond Fund, Tennessee Intermediate Municipal Bond
Fund, Tennessee Municipal Bond Fund, Texas Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund,
Texas Municipal Bond Fund, Virginia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and
Virginia Municipal Bond Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds").
Financial statements for the other portfolios of the Trust, Reserves and Funds
Trust are presented under separate cover. The Funds currently offer four classes
of shares: Primary A Shares, Investor A Shares, Investor B Shares and Investor C
Shares. Shareholders of a Fund have equal voting rights on matters affecting all
shareholders of the Fund. In addition, each class of shares of a Fund has
exclusive voting rights on matters that relate solely to that 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 accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
certain 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 Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

Securities valuation:  Securities are generally valued by an independent pricing
service. These valuations are based upon a matrix system and/or appraisals which
take into consideration such factors as yields, prices, maturities, redemption
features and credit ratings on comparable securities. Certain securities may be
valued based upon quotes provided by one or more principal market makers.
Restricted securities, securities for which market quotations are not readily
available, and certain other assets may be valued under procedures adopted by
the Boards of Trustees. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates current market value.

A Fund's municipal holdings may include obligations of issuers that rely in
whole or in part for payment of interest and principal on state specific
revenues, real property taxes, revenues from particular institutions, such as
healthcare institutions, or obligations secured by mortgages on real property.
Consequently, the impact of changes in state law or regulations or the economic
conditions in a particular state should be considered.

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, is earned from settlement
date and recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on
ex-dividend date. Each Fund's investment income and realized and unrealized
gains and losses are allocated among its share classes based upon the relative
net assets of each class of shares.

Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be
settled a month or more after trade date; interest income is not accrued until
settlement date. At the time a Fund enters into such transactions, it instructs
its custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the
amount of its when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase commitments.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders:  It is the policy of each Fund to
declare dividends from net investment income daily and to pay such dividends
monthly. Each Fund will distribute net realized capital gains (including net
short-term capital gains) at least annually after the fiscal year in which the
capital gains were earned, unless offset by any available capital loss
carryforward. Income distributions and capital gain distributions on a Fund
level are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may
differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

NATIONS FUNDS

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)                          (UNAUDITED)

Federal income tax:  Each Fund 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, Reserves and Funds Trust are allocated
to the Funds based upon their relative net assets or other expense allocation
methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly
attributable to a Fund or class of shares are charged to such Fund or class.

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

Each of the Trust, Reserves and Funds Trust has entered into an investment
advisory agreement (the "Investment Advisory Agreements") with Banc of America
Advisors, Inc. ("BAAI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America, N.A.

of America Corporation, a bank holding company organized as a Delaware

wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America, pursuant to which BACAP is entitled
to receive a sub-advisory fee from BAAI at the maximum annual rate of 0.07% of
each Fund's average daily net assets.

Stephens Inc. ("Stephens") and BAAI serve as co-administrators of the Trust,
Reserves and Funds Trust. Under the co-administration agreements, Stephens and
BAAI are currently entitled to receive a combined fee, computed daily and paid
monthly, at the maximum annual rate of 0.22% of each Fund's average daily net
assets. The Bank of New York ("BNY") serves as sub-administrator of the Trust,

ended September 30, 2000, Stephens and BAAI earned 0.06% and 0.11%,
respectively, of the Funds' average daily net assets for their co-administration
services.

BAAI and/or the sub-adviser and Stephens may, from time to time, reduce their
fees payable by each Fund. Effective August 1, 2000, BAAI and/or the sub-adviser
and Stephens agreed to reimburse expenses and/or waive fees until July 31, 2001
to the extent that total expenses (excluding shareholder servicing and
distribution fees), as a percentage of the respective Fund's average daily net
assets, exceed the following annual rates:

contingent deferred sales charges from redemption of shares which were subject
to such charges. A substantial portion of these fees is paid to affiliates of
Bank of America.

The Trust's, Reserves' and Funds 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 Funds' assets. Income

3.  SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AND DISTRIBUTION PLANS

The Trust, Reserves and Funds Trust each has adopted shareholder servicing plans
and distribution plans for the Investor A, Investor B and Investor C Shares of
each Fund. The shareholder servicing plans permit the Funds to compensate or
reimburse servicing agents for shareholder services provided by the servicing
agents. The distribution plans, adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940

Investor A Shares, the distributor and/or selling agents) for activities or
expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of the classes' shares.
Payments under the Investor A combined shareholder servicing and distribution
plan are limited to 0.25% of Investor A average daily net assets. Payments under
the shareholder servicing plan and distribution plan, respectively, for both
Investor B and Investor C Shares are limited to 0.25% and 0.75% of each
respective class's average daily net assets. Payments are made at an annual
rate, as a percentage of average daily net assets, set from time to time by the
Boards of Trustees, and are charged as expenses of each Fund directly to the
applicable class. A substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to
these plans is paid to affiliates of Bank of America and BAAI.

5.  SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

As of September 30, 2000, an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest
without par value were authorized for each of the Trust, Reserves and Funds
Trust. The Trust's, Reserves' and Funds Trust's Declarations of Trust authorize
the Boards of Trustees to classify or reclassify any authorized, but unissued
shares into one or more additional classes or series of shares. See Schedules of
capital stock activity.

6.  LINES OF CREDIT

The Trust, Reserves and Funds Trust each participate with other Nations Funds 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 a specified Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% on an
annualized basis. Each participating Fund maintains a ratio of no less than 4 to
1 net assets (not including amounts borrowed pursuant to the Agreement) to the
aggregate amount of indebtedness pursuant to the Agreement.

At September 30, 2000, there were no loans outstanding under this Agreement. For
the six months ended September 30, 2000, borrowings by the Funds under the
Agreement were as follows:

</TABLE>

The average amount outstanding was calculated based on daily balances in the
period.

The Trust, Reserves and Funds Trust also participate with other Nations Funds in
a committed line of credit provided by BNY. Interest on borrowings under the
committed line is payable at a specified Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% on an
annualized basis. A facility fee of 0.09% per annum of the total amounts
available under the line of credit is charged, of which each Fund pays its pro
rata share. This fee is paid quarterly in arrears. Each participating Fund is
required to maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least 300% under the terms of
the arrangement. For the six months ended September 30, 2000, there were no
borrowings by the Funds under the committed line of credit.
