LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND INVESTMENT ADVISER
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
 
We are pleased to report that the 12-month period ended August 31, 1996, was--
despite some periods of volatility--a good one for the financial markets and
for our shareholders. While the media were preoccupied with the day-to-day ups
and downs of technology stocks, the Dow Jones Industrial Average chugged
upward--and ultimately, gained some 1,000 points over the course of the 12
months. The fixed-income market, too, posted positive returns for the period--
an impressive showing given the uncertain and often volatile interest-rate
environment.
 
Moreover, despite the markets' anxiety over the direction of interest rates
and the pace of economic growth, investor enthusiasm remained high throughout
the period. Mutual funds saw record inflows, and many investors chose to
invest in the American Performance Funds. During the 12 months ended August
31, 1996, net assets under management rose from $659 million to $887 million,
an increase of 35%.
 
RISING RATES ROIL THE MARKETS
 
There is nothing the financial markets hate more than surprises--and as 1996
began, the markets were surprised when new estimates on growth suggested the
economy was not weakening as expected. Interest rates spiked on the news of
economic strength and bond prices dropped. For all the excitement, however,
interest rates never rose quite high enough to severely depress stock prices.
 
Throughout the spring and early summer, investors focused on the positive.
Unemployment was low; incomes were rising; and consumer confidence was strong.
While the markets grew more volatile as rates rose, stocks continued to trend
upward. In mid-July, when earnings reports suggested some weakness in the
technology industry, technology stocks tumbled and took the market down with
them--for about two and a half weeks. As we go to press, it's clear that this
minor correction in July did little to change attitudes or instill caution in
investors. In the second week of September, the Dow Jones Industrial Average
closed above 5,800.
 
CAUTION SIGNALED
 
Regardless of the market's enthusiasm, recent economic data have caused us to
take a more cautious approach to the financial markets. The economy appears to
have grown at a rate of 4.2% during the second quarter of the year--a number
far higher than the 2.5% the Federal Reserve believes to be non-inflationary.
Early estimates on economic activity in July and August suggest that the
economy is slowing down a bit. Federal Reserve officials, including Fed
Chairman Alan Greenspan, have made it clear that they are betting on slower
economic growth. The Fed chose not to increase interest rates at its August
meeting and seems disinclined to do so at the upcoming September meeting.
 
Nevertheless, the American consumer is still in a positive frame of mind and,
we believe, will continue to stimulate growth by spending. Consequently, while
we expect the economy to slow, we are still forecasting
<PAGE>
 
2% to 3% real GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth for the second half of the
year. As a result, the inflation picture, which has been positive for the last
several years, may begin to deteriorate slightly in the months ahead.
 
We also find the exuberant attitude of stock market investors somewhat
worrisome. Such enthusiasm is not necessarily bad in itself, but it leaves
very little room for things to get better--and a great deal of room for
disappointment. Another consideration is the baby-boom generation's recent
inclination to start saving for retirement, which has added fuel to the
market's rise during the past two years. While demographic information
indicates that this inflow of cash will likely continue over the next decade,
these flows may have peaked temporarily. If this is the case, the stock market
is unlikely to continue hurtling upward at the breakneck pace of the recent
past. In addition, the market could be hurt if stocks fall out of favor with
these investors and they redirect their savings into other asset classes.
 
BETTER DAYS AHEAD FOR BONDS
 
The fixed-income markets remain key to our outlook for stocks, bonds and the
economy. Over the past year, the bond market has acted as a kind of brake on
the financial markets as a whole, with interest rates rising rapidly when
growth has shown signs of accelerating and rates falling quickly on
indications of weakness. The bond market's quick response appears to be
helping the economy break out of the boom-and-bust cycles of the past,
signaling an era of shallow ups and downs. Consequently, we expect to see the
economy growing at a moderate pace for the foreseeable future.
 
Further deterioration from today's bond price levels would pressure stocks
lower for the simple reason that the risk/reward characteristics of bonds
would become too attractive to ignore. However, we anticipate interest rates
to trade in a narrow range through the end of the year.
 
IN CLOSING . . .
 
We would like to thank you for your continued confidence in us. We look
forward to providing you with investment management and service to meet your
investment needs now and in the future. If you would like a prospectus, have

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND
 
The 12 months ended August 31, 1996, were bumpy for aggressive growth
investors as small-capitalization stocks rode the rough tailwinds of
technology stocks. After rocketing to record highs during 1995, tech stocks
took a beating as the year drew to a close, only to regain momentum in the
spring and early summer of 1996, then take another drubbing in mid-July. While
there were some disappointing earnings reports, reasons for the dramatic
decline in July were not clear. Nonetheless, by the end of the period,
enthusiasm for tech stocks in particular and small-cap stocks in general had
waned noticeably.
 
Consequently, with our focus on small-cap stocks and slightly more than 21% of
the Fund's assets invested in small-cap technology issues, the Fund gave back
much of the ground gained earlier in the period. For the 12 months ended
August 31, 1996, the Fund posted a total return of 1.77% (without the sales
charge). For the same period, the NASDAQ Composite Index and the Russell 2000,
two industry benchmarks, gained 11.89% and 10.88%, respectively.
 
ENTHUSIASM BUILDING ANEW
 
As we go to press, there is little real negative news regarding small-cap
stocks, and it is apparent that many of our holdings suffered simply from
guilt by association in the July correction. Throughout the year, corporate
earnings were strong for the vast majority of the Fund's holdings. Moreover,
we believe in the long-term prospects for each of the companies whose stock we
hold.
 
As always, however, where the potential rewards are greater, so are the risks.
While the ride may be somewhat rocky in the months ahead, we believe it may be
well worth taking. As the economy cools, investors seeking above-average
growth will look to small-cap stocks. Consequently, we believe that declines
in the market should be viewed as potential buying opportunities.
 
As of August 31, 1996, the Fund's top five equity holdings were Cisco Systems
(7.17%), US Robotics (5.43%), Verifone (5.17%), Paychex (5.08%) and The Money
Store (4.14%).+
 
 +The composition of the Fund's holdings is subject to change.

Until recently, the Fund had invested primarily in stocks of small companies. As
a result, the NASDAQ Composite Index had been an appropriate performance
benchmark, since it is widely used to represent the performance of small-company
stocks. However, the Fund's performance is now being compared to the Russell
2000 Stock Index to better reflect the Fund's new focus on domestically traded
stocks of small-to-mid-sized companies. The index is unmanaged and does not
reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment
management and fund accounting fees. The Fund's performance reflects the
deduction of fees for these value-added services.

Small-capitalization funds typically carry additional risks, since smaller
companies generally have a higher risk of failure and, by definition, are not as
well established as "blue chip" companies. Historically, stocks of smaller
companies have experienced a greater degree of market volatility than stocks on
average.

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE EQUITY FUND
 
The "Goldilocks" economy of the past year--one that was not too strong and not
too weak--proved to be an excellent environment for stocks. With just a
stumble or two along the way, the market continued to climb during the 12
months ended August 31, 1996. Moreover, the advance was broadly based. While
some sectors were more volatile than others, few failed to participate in the
rise.
 
Consequently, with stocks of some 100 companies, the Fund performed very
strongly during the period. Holdings in Bank of New York (.49%), Coca-Cola
(3.19%), Raychem (1.41%) and Gillette (1.41%) did particularly well, with each
gaining more than 20%.
 
As a result, we are pleased to report that the Fund kept pace with industry
averages. For the 12 months ended August 31, 1996, the Fund posted a total
return of 18.53% (without the sales charge) versus a gain of 18.80% in the S&P
500 Stock Index for the same period.
 
A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR GROWTH
 
While we are more cautious than a year ago, we are optimistic about the
prospects for the stock market in the months ahead. After years of downsizing,
the fundamentals of U.S. companies are very solid. Worldwide, economies are
growing. In addition, many of our major trading partners are only now pulling
out of recessions and rebounding. Looking beyond the immediate future, we
believe exports will increase, which, in turn, should increase corporate
profits. Consequently, while corporate profits are currently flattening, we
expect this year's numbers to make for good comparisons next year.
 
We also expect to see the bond market continue to act as a brake on the
economy in the coming year--as yields rise when growth threatens to accelerate
and fall if recession looms. As a result, with the economy perking along at a
temperature that's "just right," we believe the year ahead could well be a
good one for stock investors.
 
As of August 31, 1996, the Fund's top five holdings were Coca-Cola (3.19%),
Aetna (2.69%), General Electric (2.69%), Unicom (2.25%) and AT&T (2.04%).+
 
 +The composition of the Fund's holdings is subject to change.

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE BALANCED FUND
 
With an allocation favoring stocks throughout much of the year ended August
31, 1996, the Fund performed well as the market climbed. While holdings across
all sectors contributed to the gain, some of our small-cap stocks were
standout performers. Nevertheless, when the small-cap sector slipped in June,
we decreased our positions and held the proceeds in cash. This move proved to
be very timely--while we still had some exposure in the sector, performance
did not suffer noticeably when over-the-counter stocks sank in July. In
addition, as stocks across the market tumbled in sympathy with small caps, we
had the flexibility to capitalize on attractive buying opportunities.
 
In the bond market, we aggressively pursued opportunities to increase yield
throughout the year. As a result, in the first half of 1996, holdings in
Treasury securities were decreased in favor of asset-backed securities and
corporate bonds--traditionally stronger performers in a rising interest-rate
environment. Consequently, we're pleased to report that our fixed-income
holdings also contributed to performance.
 
For the year ended August 31, 1996, the Fund posted a return of 10.87%
(without the sales charge), which fell roughly halfway between the return of
the Fund's two benchmarks, the S&P 500 Stock Index and the Salomon Brothers
Broad (Investment Grade) Bond Index, which gained 18.80% and 4.12%,
respectively.
 
WEAKNESS SPELLS OPPORTUNITY
 
While the long-term prospects for stocks and bonds appear bright, the markets
may, in the short term, be rather choppy until the direction of interest rates
is clearer. However, weakness in the markets, we believe, should be viewed as
opportunities. At current yield levels, bonds now offer an extremely
attractive inflation-adjusted rate of return. And if interest rates rise
further during this time of economic and political uncertainty, we will look
to increase our holdings of intermediate-term bonds.
 
The Fund is also well positioned to take advantage of opportunites that may
arise during any short-term stock market correction. While the stock market is
unlikely to climb at the pace of the past year, many signs point to continued
growth. With over 10% of our assets invested in cash equivalents, the Fund is
well positioned for new opportunities.
 
At the period's end, approximately 55% of the portfolio's assets were invested
in stocks and 45% in fixed-income securities, including cash. The Fund's top
five equity holdings were Aetna Services (1.69%), Coca- Cola (1.59%), General
Electric (1.50%), Unicom (1.41%) and Nynex (1.26%). The average maturity of
the Fund's fixed-income holdings was 5.4 years; their average credit quality
was AAA.+

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE FIXED-INCOME FUNDS
 
The 12 months ended August 31, 1996, were trying ones for bond investors. The
government's shutdown in the fall of 1995 and a difficult winter in the
Northeast led the markets to believe that the pace of economic growth was
weakening and, consequently, to anticipate that the Federal Reserve would
lower interest rates. While the Fed did act in January, it lowered short-term
rates by only .25%, much less than had been expected.
 
But this caution was warranted. When the payroll numbers were announced, it
appeared that the economy was strengthening rather than weakening. Overnight,
market sentiment shifted radically as fears of increasing inflationary
pressure rippled through the markets. Interest rates rose--and expectations
that the Federal Reserve would move to take them even higher began to build.
 
Given the current environment, however, dramatic action by the Federal Reserve
seems rather unlikely. While recent numbers indicated that the economy was
strengthening, they did not suggest it was accelerating rapidly. Nor did the
statistics reveal that inflationary pressures were beginning to spiral:
Employment is up, and consumer confidence is high, but very few workers are
seeing raises.
 
As a result, we believe the signs point to a period of moderate growth, and we
expect to see interest rates rise very slightly and trade in a narrow range as
we move into the election season. Nevertheless, given the rapid response of
investors to the arrival of each new statistic over the past year, we will
continue to approach the markets cautiously in the coming months.
 
AMERICAN PERFORMANCE BOND FUND
 
As interest rates rose in the spring and early summer, maturities were
shortened in an effort to help maximize the Fund's ability to respond to rapid
shifts of market sentiment. In addition, we aggressively sought out
opportunities to increase yield. Asset-backed securities, in particular, grew
more attractive as rates rose and investors lost interest in refinancing their
auto, credit card or mortgage loans--the underlying assets of asset-backed
securities.
 
As a result, while the Fund lagged its benchmark, it generated a positive
return in the relatively difficult environment of the period. For the 12
months ended August 31, 1996, the Fund posted a total return of 2.84% (without
the sales charge) versus 4.12% for the Salomon Brothers Broad (Investment
Grade) Index.
 
As of August 31, 1996, approximately 4.7% of the Fund's assets were invested
in asset-backed securities, 60.1% in corporate bonds, 31.6% in Government
agencies, 3.2% in Treasury securities and 0.4% in cash equivalents. The
average maturity of the portfolio was 8.5 years; the average credit quality of
the portfolio's holdings was AA.+

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND
 
As bond prices fell in the wake of rising interest rates throughout the spring
and early summer, emphasis was placed on increasing yield, and we found
opportunities to do so in the mortgage-backed and corporate sectors. With the
increase in rates, refinancings declined, and mortgage-backed securities
staged a comeback. Corporate securities also performed well. Anticipating much
of this, we gradually decreased our holdings in Treasury securities in favor
of corporate bonds and mortgage-backed issues throughout the first half of
1996.
 
Nevertheless, throughout the year, the fixed-income market was extremely
skittish and generally unpredictable. While we caught many of its turns, like
most of our peers, we didn't catch every one. As a result, for the year ended
August 31, 1996, the Fund posted a total return of 3.41% compared to 4.43% for
its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond
Index.
 
At the period's end, approximately 36.6% of the portfolio's assets were
invested in corporate bonds, 12.5% in asset-backed securities, 9.7% in
mortgage-backed securities, 4.1% in Treasury securities, 1.5% in taxable
municipal bonds, 30.8% in Government agencies and 4.7% in cash equivalents.
The average maturity of the portfolio was 4.28 years; the average credit
quality of its holdings was AA.+

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE SHORT-TERM INCOME FUND
 
Despite the uncertain environment, the Fund performed well during the 12
months ended August 31, 1996. Early in the period, approximately 85% of the
portfolio's assets were invested in U.S. Government securities. As interest
rates rose, however, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities offered
investors very real opportunities to increase yield. Consequently, throughout
the spring, we decreased the Fund's exposure in government and agency
securities in favor of asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities.
 
As a result, for the year ended August 31, 1996, the Fund posted a total
return of 4.64% (without the sales charge), which fell just short of the
return of the benchmark Merrill Lynch U.S. Government/Corporate 1-5 Year
Index, which gained 4.95% over the same period.
 
At the period's end, approximately 26.9% of the portfolio's assets were
invested in U.S. Government and agency securities, 12.7% in mortgage-backed
securities, 11.7% in asset-backed securities, 10.0% in corporate bonds, 37.2%
in Treasuries and 1.5% in cash equivalents. The average maturity of the
portfolio was 2.27 years; the average credit quality of its holdings was AAA.+

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE INTERMEDIATE TAX-FREE BOND FUND
 
Lack of supply continued to hamper the municipal markets across the country
during the year ended August 31, 1996. Faced with taxpayers who were already
heavily burdened, municipal officials were reluctant to float new issues.
Refinancings also evaporated as interest rates rose--all of which made it
difficult for funds such as ours to adjust maturities quickly.
 
On a positive note, as talk of flat taxes died out after the primary
elections, the interest-rate spreads between taxable and tax-free securities
widened once again, causing municipal bonds to outperform taxable securities.
Nevertheless, overall, the year was a lackluster one for municipal bond
investors. For the 12 months ended August 31, 1996, the Fund generated a total
return of 3.68% (without the sales charge) compared to 6.87% for its
benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index.
 
MORE PROMISING TIMES AHEAD
 
Despite the rather dull markets of late, we believe the prospects for the muni
markets appear bright long term. Unless there is a radical shift in taxpayer
sentiment, supply is unlikely to ease anytime soon. At the same time, however,
demand may increase exponentially in the years ahead as baby boomers age and
begin to focus on the advantages of tax-free investments for their retirement
savings.
 
As of August 31, 1996, the average maturity of the Fund's holdings was 6.71
years; their average credit quality was AA. Approximately 98% of the Fund's
assets were invested in securities issued by municipalities in some 20 states
across the country. The remainder of the Fund's assets was held in cash or
cash equivalents.+

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE MONEY MARKET FUNDS*
 
THE U.S. TREASURY FUND
Security selection and the maturity structure of the portfolio were the keys
to the Fund's strong performance during the 12 months ended August 31, 1996.
As interest rates fell in the last half of 1995, assets were invested
primarily in overnight securities in an effort to help maximize yield and
maintain the Fund's flexibility. Consequently, as the economy picked up steam
in the spring and summer, the Fund was well positioned to capitalize on
opportunities that arose as rates moved higher.
 
 
In the months ahead, we expect to see the economy slow and interest rates
begin to decline. Consequently, no major changes are anticipated in the Fund's
allocation or maturity structure. We will continue to focus on maintaining the
Fund's flexibility, as well as seeking out opportunities to increase yield.
 
THE CASH MANAGEMENT FUND
With expectations of modest economic growth early in the year, interest rates
moved lower but surged in the second quarter as the economy soared past the
Fed's non-inflationary growth target of 2.5% and hit 4.2%. Anticipating this
turn of events, we moved to shorten maturities throughout the spring.
Moreover, as the Federal Reserve Board moved to a more neutral-restrictive
posture, we focused on securities of stable or improving credit in an effort
to increase yield. As a result, we're pleased to report that for the year
ended August 31, 1996, the Fund posted strong returns and was ranked in the
top 30% of funds of this kind by Lipper Analytical Services, placing 86th out
of 287 in the Money Market Instrument Funds category for the 12 months ended
August 31, 1996/1/.
 
As of that date, the Fund's assets were invested primarily in variable-rate
securities. In the months ahead, we do not anticipate making any major changes
in the Fund's allocation or maturity structure.

an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included verification of securities
owned as of August 31, 1996 by examination and other appropriate audit
procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the aforementioned funds comprising the American Performance Funds at
August 31, 1996, the results of their operations, the changes in their net
assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated herein,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                AUGUST 31, 1996
 
1.ORGANIZATION:
 
 The American Performance Funds (the "Funds") were organized on October 1,
 1987, and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940
 Act"), as amended, as a diversified, open-end investment company established
 as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds had no operations other than
 incurring organizational expenses and the sale of initial units of
 beneficial interest ("shares") between the date of organization and the date
 of commencement of operations.
 
 The Funds are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares with a par
 value of $.00001 per share. The Funds presently offer shares of the Cash
 Management Fund, the U.S. Treasury Fund, the Bond Fund, the Intermediate
 Bond Fund, the Equity Fund, the Aggressive Growth Fund, the Intermediate
 Tax-Free Bond Fund, the Short-Term Income Fund, and the Balanced Fund
 (individually referred to as a "Fund"). BancOklahoma Trust Company ("BOTC"),
 a subsidiary of BancOklahoma Corp., serves as investment adviser to the Cash
 Management Fund, U.S. Treasury Fund, Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund,
 Equity Fund, Aggressive Growth Fund, Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund, Short-
 Term Income Fund, and Balanced Fund. AMR Investment Services, Inc. ("AMR") a
 subsidiary of AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines,
 Inc., serves as sub-investment adviser to the Cash Management Fund. Bank of
 Oklahoma, N.A., a subsidiary of BancOklahoma Corp., acts as custodian to the
 Funds.
 
 The investment objective of the Cash Management Fund and U.S. Treasury Fund
 (the "money market funds") is to seek current income with liquidity and
 stability of principal. The Equity Fund has as its objective to seek growth
 of capital. The Aggressive Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
 The Balanced Fund seeks current income and, secondarily, long-term capital
 growth. The Bond Fund's objective is to maximize total return. The
 Intermediate Bond Fund, Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund, and the Short-Term
 Income Fund seek current income, consistent with the preservation of
 capital.
 
2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
 the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are
 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation
 of financial statements requires management to make estimates and
 assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
 the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
 expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
   SECURITIES VALUATION:
 
   Investments of the money market funds are valued at either amortized
   cost, which approximates market value, or at original cost, which
   combined with accrued interest approximates market value. Discount or
   premium is amortized on a constant basis to the maturity of the security
   under the amortized cost method. In addition, the money market funds may
   not a) purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than
   thirteen months unless such investment is subject to a demand feature, or
   b) maintain a dollar weighted average portfolio maturity which exceeds 90
   days.
 
   Investments in common stocks, corporate bonds, commercial paper,
   municipal government bonds, and U.S. Government securities of the Bond
   Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, Equity Fund, Aggressive Growth Fund,
   Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund, Short-Term Income Fund, and Balanced
   Fund (collectively, "the variable net asset value funds"), are valued at
   their market value determined on the basis of the latest available bid
   prices in the principal market (closing sales prices if the principal
   market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally traded.
   Investments in investment companies are valued at their net asset values
   as reported by such companies. The
 
                                   Continued

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
                                AUGUST 31, 1996
 
   differences between the cost and market values of investments held by the
   variable net asset value funds are reflected as either unrealized
   appreciation or depreciation.
 
   SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME:
 
   Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is
   purchased or sold (trade date). Interest income is recognized on the
   accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the pro rata amortization
   of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the
   ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are
   determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with
   the net sales proceeds.
 
   SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS AND DELAYED DELIVERY BASIS:
 
   Each Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis. When-issued
   securities are securities purchased for delivery beyond the normal
   settlement date at a stated price and/or yield, thereby involving the
   risk that the price and/or yield obtained may be more or less than those
   available in the market when delivery takes place. The Fund records the
   transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining net
   asset value at the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase a
   security on a when-issued basis. Normally, the settlement date occurs
   within one month of the purchase. No payment is made by the Fund and no
   interest accrues to the Fund during the period between purchase and
   settlement. The Fund establishes a segregated account in which it
   maintains cash and marketable securities equal in value to commitments
   for when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis
   or delayed delivery basis do not earn income until the settlement date.
 
   REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:
 
   Each Fund may acquire securities from financial institutions such as
   member banks of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or from
   registered broker/dealers which the respective investment adviser deems
   creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees, subject
   to the seller's agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually
   agreed-upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the
   price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current
   short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the
   underlying portfolio securities. The seller, under a repurchase
   agreement, is required to maintain the value of collateral held pursuant
   to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued
   interest). Securities subject to repurchase agreements are held by the
   Fund's custodian, another qualified sub-custodian or in the Federal
   Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. Repurchase agreements are considered
   to be loans by a Fund under the 1940 Act.
 
   DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS:
 
   Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly
   for the money market funds. Dividends from net investment income are
   declared daily and paid monthly for the Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond
   Fund, Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund and Short-Term Income Fund.
   Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for
   the Equity Fund, Aggressive Growth Fund, and Balanced Fund. Net realized
   capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.
 
   The Funds follow Statement of Position 93-2, Determination, Disclosure,
   and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return
   of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. Accordingly, timing
   differences relating to shareholder distributions are reflected in the
   components of net assets and permanent book and tax basis differences
   relating to shareholder distributions have been reclassified to
   additional paid-in capital.
 
                                   Continued

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
                                AUGUST 31, 1996
 
   Dividends from net investment income and from net realized capital gains
   are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ
   from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are
   primarily due to differing treatments for mortgage-backed securities,
   expiring capital loss carryforwards and deferrals of certain losses.
 
   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
 
   It is the policy of each Fund to qualify, or continue to qualify, as a
   regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available
   to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the
   Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income
   and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or
   substantially all, federal income taxes.
 
   ORGANIZATION COSTS:
 
   All expenses incurred in connection with the Funds' organization and
   registration under the 1940 Act and the Securities Act of 1933 were paid
