LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholders:

We are pleased to report that the year ended August 31, 1997 was one of strong
growth for the financial markets and for the American Performance Funds.  During
the period, the Dow Jones Industrial Average roared 2000 points higher and broke
through 8000.  While bonds surged, steady growth and benign inflation also
pleased fixed income investors.

With unemployment hitting record lows, much of the activity in the financial
markets was fueled by individual investors who continued to invest in mutual
funds steadily throughout the year.  As a result, many fund groups experienced
unprecedented growth--and we are very pleased to report that our fund family was
one of them.  It was in June of this year that net assets under management in
the American Performance Funds rose to over $1 billion.

New Equity Fund to be Launched

We are also pleased to report that in our continuing effort to meet the needs of
our investors, the American Performance Growth Equity Fund will be available
this fall.  Investing primarily in large mid-cap and large-cap companies with
solid records of earnings growth and the potential for more, the fund is
intended to meet the needs of growth investors with a moderate tolerance for
risk.  For more information and a prospectus on this Fund, or any other American
Performance Fund, please call us at 1-800-762-7085.

Taking the Long-term Perspective

Clearly, it has been a very dramatic and rewarding year for stock investors.
According to some experts, the bull may not have breathed his last breath.
Others point out that the market has been moving steadily higher for over seven
years, making this the longest sustained expansion in U.S. history.  If nothing
else, the bull could drop dead from simple exhaustion.  The truth is, no one
knows exactly what lies ahead.

Nevertheless, there are several very practical things you can do to help protect
your assets. First and foremost, now is the time to review your time horizons.
Historically, the markets have rewarded long-term investors--those with time
horizons some ten to twelve years away--with the patience and fortitude to ride
out volatile markets.

Second, consider your tolerance for risk and your expectations.  While the past
two years have been very profitable, there is little doubt that eventually the
equity markets will revert to their long-term average return of approximately
10%.  It may not occur today or even tomorrow, but it will happen.  As a result,
the market is likely to be extremely volatile in the interim--which may or may
not be to your liking.

Finally it is important to realize that risk is reduced when your assets are
spread across a variety of markets.  Therefore, we believe that everyone should
hold a mix of securities in their portfolios.

Introducing Foundations

Of course, allocating your assets properly across the spectrum of available
opportunities can be a difficult process.  That is why Bank of Oklahoma, N.A.
and BOSC, Inc. have introduced FOUNDATIONS--an asset allocation wrap account
designed to provide you with the benefits of diversification.  Through this one
account, you can invest in a range of stock, bond and money market mutual funds.
To find out more about it,  just speak to your BOSC financial

consultants.  They can introduce you to FOUNDATIONS and help you complete an
investor profile.  Or, you can call BOSC, Inc. at 1-800-364-1818.

In Closing . . .

We would like to thank you for your continued confidence in us.  We look forward
to providing you with superior investment management and service to help meet
your investment needs now and in the future.  If you would like a prospectus,
have any questions or require any assistance, please call us at 1-800-762-7085.

LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT ADVISOR
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! This U.S. economy continues to shock the bulls
and the bears (including Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve) in
the financial markets. Just look at the recent inflation data. Inflation
pressures are actually declining in the seventh year of a U.S. economic
expansion. Traditionally, inflation has increased hand-in-hand with economic
growth--this recent turn of events is absolutely without precedent in U.S.
economic history.
 
Despite growth at a rate well above the Federal Reserve target of 2.5%, the
Consumer Price Index (CPI)/1/ has risen just 2.2% during the past 12 months.
Moreover, wholesale prices, as measured by the Producer Price Index (PPI)/2/,
have declined during the past six-months ended June 1997, something which has
never happened in the 50 years of history in the index. Gold prices have also
plunged. So what does declining inflation mean? In short, you may have another
chance to refinance your 7% mortgage in the not too distant future.
 
THE POWER OF THE UNEXPECTED
 
Low interest rates and declining inflation add up to a very positive climate
for stocks and bonds. In fact, for stock investors, it cannot get any better
than this, and that is a big concern. After two years of soaring valuations
and record breaking corporate profits, expectations are extraordinarily high--
and so is the possibility of disappointment. Given the intensity of global
competition, corporations' pricing powers have diminished. In addition, the
strength of the U.S. dollar has increased the cost of U.S. goods abroad which
may significantly impact the balance sheets of multinationals in the months
ahead.
 
Moreover, while the Fed has endorsed the concept of inflation-less growth and
opted to hold off any action, the stock market is watching interest rates very
closely. Valuations of equities do not appear to pose undue risk as interest
rates continue their long-term downward trend. Should they move in the other
direction, however, the situation could change dramatically.
 
Given all of this, however, it is very hard not to like the prospects for the
U.S. equity market in the months ahead. As long as corporate earnings are
solid, interest rates are low and inflation is controlled, the bull market
should remain intact. This does not mean that the market will not find itself
overextended occasionally. Therefore, temporary sell-offs, which help refresh
the market, are important for its long-term health.
 
WHAT'S GOOD FOR STOCKS . . .
 
Under the circumstances, the first eight months of 1997 were good ones that
should have been much better for the fixed-income markets. The economy appears
to be in balance. The Federal Reserve is pleased and will likely keep monetary
policy on hold for the remainder of the year. And in the stable interest rate
environment of the period, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, asset-
backs and collateralized mortgage obligations outperformed U.S. Treasuries.
Nonetheless, given the positives, the markets could have done better. Of
course, there are some risks on the horizon; concern over wage inflation and
stronger overseas growth are chief among them. As always, any dramatic
acceleration in economic growth might trigger Fed action.
 
/1/The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices
over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. The CPI is used as
an indication of inflation and deflation of other economic series, and as an
escalator for economic points.
 
/2/The Producer Price Index (PPI) measures changes in the average prices of
goods received by producers of commodities and all stages of processing, in
primary or wholesale markets. It measures the change in prices paid by
businesses rather than by consumers.
 
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
ENJOY THE RIDE
 
All in all, however, our outlook for the financial markets in the coming
months is optimistic. A major increase in bond yields is unlikely.
Consequently, bond investors should maintain average benchmark durations while
overweighing investment grade corporate bonds, asset-backed and mortgage-
backed securities.
 
With regard to the stock market, we expect to remain positive until we see a
change in the conditions which brought us this strong bull market. Key, of
course to the market's direction, will be the direction of inflation,
interest-rates and corporate profits. Equity valuations may be somewhat
overextended from time-to-time, but that should not be considered unusual
given the giant sweet spot that the economy and financial markets are
enjoying. Our advice continues to be sit back and enjoy the ride.
 
Sincerely,
 
/s/ James L. Huntzinger

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND
 
The year ended August 31, 1997 was a very frustrating one for small
capitalization growth investors. Market averages soared, but most of the gains
were experienced by the biggest and best known names. Moreover, as valuations
moved higher, more investors sought the liquidity and safety of the big names.
Quality small-cap stocks were overlooked in the headlong rush to the "Nifty
Fifty".
 
Investing primarily in small-cap growth stocks, the Fund's performance
suffered as many of our holdings simply wilted from neglect. In late spring,
the tide began to turn somewhat and small-cap growth stocks began to rebound.
Nonetheless, the lackluster performance of the group in the first half of the
period hurt the Fund's performance. For the year ended August 31, 1997, the
Fund produced a total return of 15.90% (without the sales charge)+, versus a
return of 28.95% for the Russell 2000, which is heavily weighted in value-
oriented small-cap stocks.
 
A QUIET REBOUND
 
Regardless of market sentiment, the fundamentals of the small-cap growth
sector are very strong. Long-term growth prospects are very bright, and, after
two years of neglect, valuations are very low in comparison with larger
capitalization stocks. Given the heady levels of the stock market, investors
may likely continue taking comfort in owning the big names in the months
ahead.
 
Consequently, while we are optimistic about the prospects for small-cap growth
stocks, we do not expect investors to stampede in their direction. More likely
is the possibility that the quiet rebound which began in April will continue,
and small-cap growth stocks should hold their own in the coming months.
 
As of August 31, 1997, the top five holdings in the Fund's portfolio were
Semtech Corp. (3.8% of the Fund's net assets), Cisco Systems, Inc. (3.4%),
Petco (3.3%), QLogic Corp. (3.2%) and Paychex, Inc. (3.0%).++
 
 + With the maximum sales charge of 4.00%, the Fund's total return was 11.26%.
 
++ The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

Small capitalization funds typically carry additional risks, since smaller

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE EQUITY FUND
 
While the stock market roared to record highs during the year ended August 31,
1997, the advance was a relatively narrow one. Investors clearly preferred
large capitalization stocks--for their liquidity and comfort--almost to the
exclusion of all others.
 
Heavily weighted in the large-cap sector, the Fund performed very well indeed.
While holdings in all industries made contributions to performance, two of the
portfolio's strongest performers were Microsoft (2.2% of the Fund's net
assets) and Intel Corp. (3.0%). Both doubled over the course of the year.
Consequently, for the year ended August 31, 1997, the Fund produced a total
return of 40.23% (without the sales charge)+, finishing just a hair behind the
S&P 500 Index which returned 40.62% for the same period.
 
ARE THE BULLS EXHAUSTED?
 
Clearly, the easy money has been made and many stocks are now fairly to
somewhat overvalued. Nevertheless, the underlying trends--modest growth,
little inflation and low interest rates--are still intact. In addition, while
corporate profits are unlikely to grow at the same rapid pace of the past two
years, they are still growing. As a result, there is little reason to believe
that a bear market lurks right around the corner.
 
There is, however, reason for caution. As valuations have risen, so have
investor expectations and risk. The chances of disappointment are also higher.
As a result, while we remain bullish on the market's prospects for the months
ahead, we also expect the environment to be more volatile.
 
As of August 31, 1997, the top five holdings in the Fund's portfolio were
Intel Corp. (3.0% of the Fund's net assets), Hartford Financial Svc. (2.8%),
General Electric Co. (2.6%), Coca-Cola (2.4%) and Royal Dutch Petroleum-NY
Shares (2.2%).++
 
 +  With the maximum sales charge of 4.00%, the Fund's total return was
    34.64%.
 
++  The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE BALANCED FUND
 
Asset allocation was the key to the Fund's solid performance during the year
ended August 31, 1997. As the period began, the Fund's exposure in the stock
market was decreased by some 5% and then, several months later, reinvested.
Consequently, the Fund captured a lion's share of the rally in early spring--
without suffering in the winter consolidation. Moreover, with some 11% of its
assets invested in small-cap stocks, the Fund benefited handsomely as the
sector rebounded in early spring.
 
The fixed-income portion of the portfolio also did well. Given the stable
interest rate environment, the Fund was overweighted in asset-backed and
mortgage-backed securities during the period. In addition to producing strong
yields, these securities--unlike most other fixed-income investments--
appreciated in price over the course of the year. As a result, for the year
ended August 31, 1997, the Fund produced a total return of 26.33% (without the
sales charge)+. In comparison, the S&P 500 rose 40.62%, while Salomon Brothers
Broad (Investment Grade) Bond Index gained 10.00%.
 
WEIGHTED FOR GROWTH
 
At the end of the period, the portfolio remained heavily weighted towards
stocks. There are still many undiscovered values in the small-cap sector.
Large-cap stocks should also continue to perform well--while earnings are
slowing, they are still attractive. At the same time, however, we expect to
see companies that disappoint investors, or simply fall short of expectations
to be treated very harshly. As we have seen recently, their industries or
sectors may suffer as well for a day or two by association. As a result, the
market may be somewhat choppy in the months ahead.
 
On August 31, 1997, approximately 61% of the Fund's net assets were invested
in stocks, 18% in bonds, 16% in government agencies and treasuries and 5% in
cash or cash equivalents. The average maturity of the Fund's fixed income
holdings was 5.6 years; the average credit quality was AAA. The top five
equity holdings in the portfolio were Hartford Financial Services Group (2.3%
of the Fund's net assets), Intel Corp. (1.9%), Coca-Cola Co. (1.7%), General
Electric Co. (1.7%) and Microsoft Corp. (1.5%).++
 
 +  With the maximum sales charge of 4.00%, the Fund's total return was
    21.28%.

Moderate economic growth and benign inflation made the year ended August 31,
1997 a good one for fixed-income investors. Early in the period, reports of
stronger-than-expected growth led investors to anticipate Federal Reserve
action to dampen inflationary pressures that have historically accompanied
strong growth. After one very small move in early spring, however, the Federal
Reserve decided to sit tight. Inflation was not increasing significantly.
Instead, evidence of deflation appeared.
 
In fact, over the first seven months of 1997, the Producer Price Index, a
leading indicator of inflation, declined. Many believed that global
competition and enhanced productivity were working to keep prices in check.
Whatever the reason, despite high growth numbers, inflation was clearly not a
problem. As a result, investor anxiety dissipated and interest rates traded
within a relatively narrow range during the second half of the period. Given
this, we focused our efforts on yield enhancement rather than price
appreciation during the period.
 
OVERLOOKED AND UNDERVALUED
 
Until there is a significant change in the underlying fundamentals of our
economy or with regard to inflation, we expect rates to trade in a narrow
range and the markets to be relatively stable. Nonetheless, we are very
optimistic about the prospects for the months ahead. At current rates, bonds
are now very attractive--a fact that has been overlooked as all eyes have
focused on the recent ups and downs of the stock market.
 
Moreover, as the economy slows in coming months, stocks may grow more volatile
which could make the bond market even more attractive.

With rates trading within a narrow range, opportunities for price appreciation
were few and far between during the period. Consequently, to enhance yield,
holdings in treasury securities (traditionally, lackluster performers in calm
markets) were decreased in favor of mortgage-backed and asset-backed
securities. Generally, in stable rate environments, prepayment risks have
evaporated and these two vehicles have performed well.
 
As a result, for the year ended August 31, 1997, the Fund posted a total
return of 10.03% (without the sales charge)+, beating its benchmark, Salomon
Brothers Broad (Investment Grade) Bond Index, which posted a return of 10.00%.
 
At the end of the period, approximately 37% of the Fund's net assets were
invested in corporate bonds, 34% in asset-backed and mortgage-backed
securities, 23% in treasury and agency-related securities, 4% in municipal
bonds with the remainder held in cash and cash equivalents. The average
maturity of the portfolio's holdings was 8.68 years; the average credit
quality was AA1.++
 
 +  With the maximum sales charge of 4.00%, the Fund's total return was 5.68%.

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND
 
In the relatively calm fixed-income markets of the period, treasury securities
wilted and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities flourished as
prepayment risk dissipated. Consequently, with very little invested in
treasury securities and a sizable commitment to the mortgage-backed and asset-
backed sectors throughout much of the year, the Fund was positioned to
profit--and it did.
 
For the year ended August 31, 1997, the Fund produced a total return of 8.38%
(without the sales charge)+, keeping pace with its benchmark, Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index, which returned 8.44%.
 
As of the same date, approximately 30% of the Fund's net assets were invested
in corporate bonds, 28% in treasuries and government agencies, 24% in
mortgage-related securities, 14% in asset-backed securities, 3% in municipal
bonds, with the remainder held in cash and cash equivalents. The average
maturity of the Fund's portfolio was 4.83 years; the average credit quality of

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE SHORT-TERM INCOME FUND
 
Clearly, given the climate in the fixed-income markets, the more solid yield
vehicles a portfolio held, the better it would do--and few investors were
unaware of this during the period. As a result, value was often scarce and
sought by many--particularly in the shorter-term markets.
 
Nonetheless, focusing on the asset-backed and mortgage-backed sectors,
exposures were increased whenever the opportunity arose to do so.
Consequently, while our portfolio did hold treasuries, it still performed
well. For the year ended August 31, 1997, the Fund produced a total return of
7.85% (without the sales charge)+. In comparison, the Merrill Lynch U.S.
Government/Corporate 1--5 Year Index rose 7.62%.

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE INTERMEDIATE TAX-FREE BOND FUND/1/
 
The year ended August 31, 1997 was a very quiet one in the tax-free bond
markets. Interest rates traded up and down in a very narrow range throughout
most of the year, and the difference was seldom enough to make the chase
worthwhile. Lack of supply, too, made it difficult to respond to changes in
the environment.
 
Still waters did run deep, however, and over the course of the year, the tax-
free bonds did relatively well in comparison to the treasury market. Moreover,
with its emphasis on yield, the Fund was reasonably well-positioned.
Consequently, for the year ended August 31, 1997, the Fund produced a total
return of 6.79% (without sales charge)+, versus 9.24% for the Fund's
benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index.
 
WHEN THE THRILL IS GONE . . .
 
Few investments could compete with stocks on returns or sheer excitement
during the past year. Yet, as stock valuations rose, volatility increased and
interest rates leveled off. Fixed-income investments--particularly tax-free
investments--also grew more attractive.
 
Looking ahead, we expect this trend to continue. Much of the stock market's
dramatic rise over the past year was fueled by baby boomers' sudden
realization that retirement is just around the corner. The double digit
returns on stocks will not last forever. Moreover, as this group rolls closer
to retirement, their tolerance for risk is likely to decrease and appreciation
of tax-free returns is likely to increase. Consequently, long-term, we are
very optimistic about the prospects for the tax-free fixed income markets.
 
At the end of the period, approximately 98% of the Fund's net assets were
invested in a laddered portfolio of securities issued by municipalities in
some 20 states across the country, while the remainder of the Fund's net
assets, approximately 2%,was held in cash and cash equivalents. The average
credit quality of these securities was AA; the average maturity was 6.15
years.++
 
 /1/Some of the Fund's income may be subject to certain state and local taxes
    and, depending on your tax status, the federal alternative minimum tax.
 
 +  With the maximum sales charge of 3.00%, the Fund's total return was 3.55%.
 
++  The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE MONEY MARKET FUNDS*
 
THE U.S. TREASURY FUND
 
The year ended August 31, 1997 was a relatively quiet one in the money
markets. As economic growth continued unabated, investors looked to the
Federal Reserve to hike rates. After making one minor adjustment in the
spring, the Fed opted to sit quietly on the sidelines and wait for solid
evidence of increasing inflation to appear. Rather than rising, however,
inflationary pressures declined throughout the second half of the year--and so
did investors' anxiety.
 
We expect the markets to remain relatively stable and rates to trade in a
narrow range in the months ahead. Given this environment, we will continue to
focus our efforts on seeking out opportunities to enhance yield. Currently,
the Fund is invested primarily in overnight securities--investments which
offer solid yields and maximum flexibility.
 
THE CASH MANAGEMENT FUND
 
Surging economic growth and lower-than-expected inflation was a concern for
the Federal Reserve during the year ended August 31, 1997. Throughout the
period, productivity gains kept inflationary pressures in check. After one
"pre-emptive action" at its meeting in March which raised short-term rates to
5.5%, the Fed declined to act. Subsequently, evidence of deflation appeared,
and the Federal Reserve elected to put off any further action.
 
Throughout the period, efforts were focused on maintaining the Fund's
flexibility and enhancing yields. As a result, assets were invested primarily
in variable rate securities--which were strong performers in the stable rate
environment of the past year. Because we do not expect any significant changes
in interest rates in the near-term, we believe these securities should
continue to do well and the portfolio is well-positioned for the months ahead.
 
* Investments in money market funds are neither insured nor guaranteed by the
  U.S. Government, and there can be no assurance that the Funds will be able
  to maintain a stable NAV of $1.00 per share.
 
 Certain fees of the funds are currently being waived, resulting in higher
 returns than would occur if full fees were charged. The American Performance
 Funds are distributed by BISYS Fund Services.

PRINCIPAL, SO THAT AN INVESTOR'S SHARES, WHEN REDEEMED, MAY BE WORTH MORE OR
LESS THAN THEIR ORIGINAL COST. FUND SHARES ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF,

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Shareholders and Board of Trustees of  the American Performance Funds:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the
American Performance Funds--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,
including the schedules of portfolio investments, as of August 31, 1997, and
the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets and
the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated herein. These
financial statements and the financial highlights are the responsibility of
the American Performance Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express
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, 1997 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, 1997, 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.

                                AUGUST 31, 1997
 
1.ORGANIZATION:
 
 The American Performance Funds (the "Funds") were organized on October 1,
 1987, and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
 amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end investment company
 established as a Massachusetts business trust. 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"). Bank of Oklahoma N.A. ("BOK")
 (successor to BankOklahoma Trust Company), a subsidiary of BancOklahoma
 Corp., serves as investment adviser to the Funds. 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. BOK also serves 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 amortized cost, which
   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. The
   variable net asset value funds may also use an independent pricing
   service approved by the Board of Trustees to value certain securities.
   Such prices reflect market values which may be established through the
   use of electronic and matrix techniques. Investments in investment
   companies are valued at their net asset values as reported by such
   companies. The 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.

                                AUGUST 31, 1997
 
   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.
   The Fund held no when-issued securities as of August 31, 1997.
 
   EXPENSES:
 
   Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged
   directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Funds are prorated
   to each Fund on the basis of relative net assets.
 
   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.
 
   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 amounts of dividends from net investment income and of distributions
   from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income
   tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
   principles. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary
   or permanent in nature. To the extent these
 
                                   Continued

   differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within
   the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment;
   temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and
   distributions to shareholders which exceed net investment income and net
   realized gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes
   are reported as dividends in excess of net investment income or
   distributions in excess of net realized gains. To the extent they exceed
   net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are
   reported as distributions of capital.

   It is the policy of each Fund to qualify, or continue to qualify, as a
   regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available

   Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income
   and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or
