LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
 
We are pleased to report that the year ended August 31, 1998, was, overall, a
good one for the American Performance Funds. While stocks did give back some of
their gains as the period drew to a close, averages were still higher than they
were twelve months ago. Moreover as volatility increased, investors sought
quality and safety--and the fixed-income markets rallied in response.
 
Our fixed-income funds, in particular, benefited significantly. In fact, the
American Performance Short-Term Income Fund was ranked the #1 fund among 102
short-term investment-grade debt funds by Lipper Analytical Services for the
twelve months ended August 31, 1998. For the same period, Lipper also ranked
the American Performance Bond Fund #8 among 217 intermediate investment grade-
debt funds, and ranked the American Performance Intermediate Bond Fund #9 among
90 short-intermediate investment-grade debt funds./1/,/2/
 
We are also pleased to report that, despite the tumultuous environment of the
year, individual investors kept the faith. While the rate of inflows to mutual
funds did slow, outflows did not increase dramatically--even as stocks pulled
back in late August. As a result, over the course of the year, net assets under
management in the American Performance Funds grew from $1.0 billion at the
start of the period to $1.4 billion on August 31, 1998.
 
A WORD ABOUT THE STOCK MARKET. . .
 
Despite the year-over-year gain, however, the last several weeks have been
disconcerting ones for all but the most determined long-term investors. As the
period ended on August 31, 1998, the average stock on the New York Stock
Exchange and the Nasdaq was down about 35% below its 1998 peak*. Reasons for
the downdraft abound, but primary among them is the fact that markets like
predictability above all else--and, in recent weeks, unsettling events in
markets abroad and clouds over the Democratic administration at home have added
an element of uncertainty to the environment. Moreover, because it is clear
that none of these situations will be resolved quickly, the market may continue
to be more volatile for some time to come.
 
Yet, lest we forget in all the excitement of the moment, very little has
changed in our economy or in the securities held by our funds. And given such
fundamental strength, we have every reason to believe that--as has been the
case every time in the past--stocks will weather this storm and move even
higher in the future. The key for all investors, very simply, is to sit tight.
 
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 meet your
investment needs now and in the future. If you would like a prospectus, have

LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT ADVISOR
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
 
Very simply, the year ended August 31, 1998, was an exciting one and, at times,
a very trying one for investors. During the first half of the period, the
economy continued to surprise everyone with its strength. Inflation remained
low, and interest rates drifted lower. As a result, the bull market roared on,
and bonds rose, as well. But, as the year wore on, momentum began to lag. Then,
what began in August as a localized currency crisis in Malaysia spread first
across Asia and then across borders worldwide.
 
Market sentiment, already biased in favor of larger capitalization equity
issues, grew even stronger as investors sought safety and liquidity. So, while
the stock market continued to rise, gains were concentrated in the largest and
best-known names--and small- and mid-capitalization stocks wilted from neglect.
As the period drew to a close, however, the Asian contagion deepened and
spread--and the realization set in that multinationals would eventually feel
the impact of turmoil abroad. At the same time, a leadership crisis in three of
the world's major markets, Japan, Russia and the United States, contributed to
uncertainty.
 
A ROLLER-COASTER RIDE
 
The stock market grew increasingly volatile as a result and, in the final days
of the period, dropped dramatically, only to gain back some of the ground lost
in the days that followed and then to slide back the next. But, while this has
been somewhat disconcerting, it was hardly unexpected--if for no other reason
than that stock valuations, particularly among the largest capitalization
companies, were extremely high. Moreover, in the latter half of the period,
there were indications that the U.S. economy was beginning to slow. Retailers
reported weaker sales. Oil and gold prices were under pressure. More
importantly, fueled by a constant stream of good news for the past several
years, investor sentiment was somewhat overly optimistic. In fact, in the eyes
of some experts--Mr. Greenspan chief among them--investors were much too
complacent. In such an environment, any bad news had the potential to trigger a
sell-off--and in the final days of the period, bad news was plentiful.
 
BUT WHAT HAS REALLY CHANGED?
 
Certainly, there is more uncertainty in the marketplace than even three or four
months ago: Asia's troubles have deepened; the Russian economy is in serious
trouble; and our own domestic political drama continues to unfold. The longer
these situations continue, the more they sap the strength of our economy and
the fortitude of investors. But, none of these situations has--to date--
significantly altered the fundamental strength of our economy. Interest rates
remain low and may move even lower. Inflation is benign. While the rate of
corporate profit growth is slowing, and there have been disappointments,
profits are, in general, still strong and expected to remain that way.
 
Consequently, given its strong foundation, we do not believe that the economy
is going to roll over into a recession in the foreseeable future, or that the
recent deterioration of stock prices signals the beginning of a bear market.
Moreover, with interest rates low and perhaps going lower, and inflationary
pressures almost nonexistent, the environment for the fixed-income markets
should be very positive in the months ahead.
 
TOO PERFECT FOR TOO LONG
 
At the same time, however, it is clear that the environment in the stock market
has changed--which may be difficult for investors to adjust to after several
years of virtually perfect weather. As a result, we see choppy seas ahead.
Nonetheless, opportunity still exists, particularly in the smaller and mid-cap
sectors. Overlooked in favor of larger cap stocks for some time, these stocks
were attractively valued before the correction and have now fallen even lower.
Now is the time, we believe, to diversify and hold on--for while there will be
ups and downs, we expect recent bottoms to hold. Historically, those who have
held on through good weather and bad have benefited in the long run.
 
Sincerely,

/s/ James L. Huntzinger

THE AMERICAN PERFORMANCE MONEY MARKET FUNDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While there were moments when rates spiked slightly higher on market rumors,
the year ended August 31, 1998, was a relatively calm one in the money markets.
Still, continued prosperity, dormant inflation and events in Asia did have an
impact--short-term rates dropped over the course of the year. And, given the
uncertainty created by events overseas, U.S. Treasury securities, even in the
shortest end of the curve, were popular.
 
Looking ahead, it is clear that the crises abroad will affect U.S. economic
momentum and corporate profits--although it is impossible to predict the
timing, or the degree or depth, at this moment. Our own domestic leadership
crisis, too, may affect the markets if it drags on indefinitely. Given the
underlying strength of our economy, however, we are optimistic about the
prospects for the Funds, and for the money markets in the months ahead.
 
THE AMERICAN PERFORMANCE CASH MANAGEMENT FUND
 
The Fund achieved its performance during this period of steady Fed monetary
policy by investing principally in securities that have a final maturity of one
year and whose coupon rates reset quarterly. This enabled us to achieve higher
yields than with an alternative strategy such as buying and rolling securities
with three-month final maturities. We believe interest rates may, in fact,
continue to move downward in the months ahead; therefore, no major changes are
anticipated in our approach to the marketplace or in the allocation of the our
portfolio in the foreseeable future.
 
THE U.S. TREASURY FUND
 
Invested primarily in the very highest quality short-term securities, the Fund
performed very well over the course of the year. Providing solid yields, these
securities offered safety and liquidity--critical factors to investors in the
uncertain environment of the past six months. Of course, it is impossible to
predict how events in markets worldwide will play out, or how they will affect
the U.S. domestic markets, but it is clear uncertainty may dominate the
environment for some time to come. Consequently, no major changes are
anticipated in the allocation of the portfolio in the near future.

An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other

THE AMERICAN PERFORMANCE BOND FUNDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Very simply, the year ended August 31, 1998, was a very good one for fixed-
income investors. Throughout the period, turmoil in Asia, benign inflation and
an economy that began to show some signs of slowing put downward pressure on
interest rates. Moreover, as the year drew to an end, expectations arose,
prompted by Mr. Greenspan's remarks, that the next Fed move would be an easing,
rather than the tightening anticipated earlier in the year. As a result, over
the course of the year, interest rates dropped significantly--and the bond
markets rallied.
 
Sentiment throughout the markets clearly favored quality; the degree to which
each sector participated in the rise depended to some degree on investors'
perceptions regarding the potential impact of events in Asia. Corporate bonds,
for instance, did appreciate, but investors were wary--fearful of the effects
of the currency crises on U.S. multinationals and equities. U.S. Treasuries,
perceived to be virtually invulnerable, were among some of the market's
strongest performers.
 
Looking ahead, it is clear that we will, at some point, be impacted by events
overseas--but much of this has already been priced into the markets. Of greater
concern, is that the markets now anticipate that the Federal Reserve will lower
interest rates significantly in the near future. That cut, if it does come, may
be smaller than expected and disappoint investors. Nonetheless, with signs that
the economy is slowing and with inflationary pressures virtually nonexistent,
interest rates may move lower in the coming months. As a result, we remain
optimistic about the markets' prospects.

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE INTERMEDIATE TAX-FREE BOND FUND/1/
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In contrast to the volatility of the equity markets, the municipal markets were
positively placid during the year ended August 31, 1998. Throughout the period,
investors were buoyed by continued growth and benign inflation. In the latter
half of the period, economic turmoil abroad sparked a flight to quality--and
many of those investors found their way to the muni markets. As a result, very
quietly, muni bonds, particularly high-quality muni bonds, appreciated.
 
Anticipating that rates would drift lower, the portfolio's average maturity was
lengthened early on, and then maintained at a level slightly longer than
industry averages over the course of the period. As a result, for the year
ended August 31, 1998, the Fund produced a total return of 7.28% (without the
sales charge),+ versus a return of 8.65% for its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index.
 
MORE OF THE SAME AHEAD. . .
 
While economic growth may slow in the months ahead, we believe that the
fundamentals of the current environment are still intact. Moreover, when Mr.
Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, has cut interest rates in the
past, such cuts have triggered a wave of refinancing--but, in the low interest
rate environment of the past year, municipalities have done much of this work
by issuing new securities at lower rates. As a result, we believe the months
ahead could be good ones for the municipal bond market.
 
As of August 31, 1998, approximately 98% of the Fund's net assets was invested
in a laddered portfolio of securities issued by municipalities in some 20
states across the country. The average credit quality of these securities was
AA+; the average maturity was 5.8 years. The remainder of the Fund's assets,
approximately 2%, was held in cash.++

THE AMERICAN PERFORMANCE SHORT-TERM INCOME FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The year ended August 31, 1998, was a very good one for the Fund, due primarily
to strong security selection. Throughout the period, the portfolio was heavily
weighted in seasoned mortgage-backed securities--and these positions were
increased whenever the opportunity arose. While the prepayment risk involved in
these securities did increase as interest rates dropped over the period, the
valuations far outweighed the downside potential.
 
As a result of the strong performance of these securities, we are very pleased
to report that the Fund beat its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch U.S. Gov't/Corp.
1-5-Year Index, for the year ended August 31, 1998. For the twelve-month
period, the Fund produced a total return of 8.47% (without the sales charge),+
versus its benchmark, which produced a total return of 8.14% for the period.
 
As of August 31, 1998, approximately 3.6% of the Fund's net assets were
invested in asset-backed securities, 75.5% in mortgage-backed securities, 6.9%
in corporate bonds, and 17.0% in Treasury and agency-related securities, with
the remainder held in cash and cash equivalents. The average maturity of the

THE AMERICAN PERFORMANCE INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Positioned at the longer end of its maturity range throughout much of the year
ended August 31, 1998, the Fund captured much of the market's rally. Also, our
emphasis on quality and careful management of exposures contributed to the
results. Nonetheless, as investors' flight to quality became a stampede in the
latter half of the period, Treasury securities showed strong performance.
 
Consequently, because the portfolio's assets were diversified, the Fund
slightly lagged its benchmark, which tracks Treasury securities very closely.
For the twelve months ended August 31, 1998, the Fund produced a total return
of 8.80% (without the sales charge),+ versus a return of 8.98% produced by the
Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index over the same
period.
 
As of August 31, 1998, approximately 9.0% of the Fund's net assets were
invested in asset-backed securities, 39.3% in mortgage-related securities,
26.3% in corporate bonds, 5.4% in taxable municipal bonds, and 19.2% in
Treasury and agency related securities, with the remainder invested in cash and

THE AMERICAN PERFORMANCE BOND FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smart security selection and sound decisions were primarily responsible for the
Fund's strong performance during the year ended August 31, 1998. Early in the
period, as interest rates appeared to be headed downward, maturities were
lengthened. In addition, positions in corporate bonds were decreased, and
exposures in longer-than-average life mortgage-backed securities were
increased. Because these securities did not carry high coupons, prepayment risk
was relatively low--and thus they performed strongly over the course of the
year. Moreover, the Fund's holdings in taxable municipals also made a solid
contribution to performance.
 
We are pleased to report that for the year ended August 31, 1998, the Fund
produced a total return of 11.54% (without the sales charge),+ versus the
10.50% for its benchmark, the Salomon Brothers Broad (Investment Grade) Bond
Index.
 
As of August 31, 1998, approximately 3.2% of the Fund's net assets were
invested in asset-backed securities, 43.4% in mortgage-backed securities, 25.9%
in corporate bonds, 14.7% in Treasury and agency-related securities, and 11.6%
in taxable municipal bonds, with the remainder held in cash and cash
equivalents. The average maturity of the portfolio's holdings was 8.1 years;
the average credit quality was AA1.++

THE AMERICAN PERFORMANCE BALANCED FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benign inflation and a surprisingly strong economy provided a very positive
backdrop for the financial markets during the year ended August 31, 1998.
Anticipating such an environment, the portfolio's weighting in stocks was
increased from 55% to 62% early in the year. Since August 1997, the Fund
increased their holdings in current securities such as, names like Bristol-
Meyers Squibb (1.76% of the Fund's net assets at August 31, 1998), Cisco
Systems (1.39%), Pfizer (1.44%), Dell Computer (0.59%) and Merck (1.83%). At
that point, too, fixed-income positions were increased, and the average
maturity of the portfolio was lengthened.++
 
As the year wore on, the crisis in Asia deepened, and investors sought the
safety and liquidity of larger capitalization stocks to the almost complete
exclusion of all others. Therefore, the Fund's holdings in the small-cap sector
were a bit of a drag on performance. The performance of the new additions in
the large-cap growth sector and Treasury securities, however, helped compensate
for these laggards. For the period ended August 31, 1998, the Fund produced a
return of 4.55% (without sales charge),+ compared to 8.12% and 10.50% for its
benchmarks, the S&P 500 Stock Index and the Salomon Brothers Broad (Investment
Grade) Bond Index.
 
A MORE DIFFICULT ENVIRONMENT
 
Looking ahead, it is apparent that problems in the world's currency markets
will not be solved overnight.
 
As a result, investors may continue to emphasize liquidity. But the
fundamentals of the U.S. economy and U.S. corporations are still strong--and,
to some degree, investors may be overly pessimistic. Nevertheless, in the
months ahead, we expect to approach the markets cautiously and will reevaluate
large-cap equity allocations if valuations appear to get too high. At the same
time, the small-cap sector--having been overlooked and undervalued for more
than two years and severely battered in recent months--now offers some
intriguing values, and we may increase exposures here.
 
As of August 31, 1998, approximately 56% of the Fund's net assets were invested
in stocks, 40% in bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and Treasury and agency-
related securities, with the remainder held in cash and cash equivalents. The
average credit quality of the fixed-income holdings in the portfolio was AAA;
the average maturity was 10 years. The top five holdings in the equity portion
of the Fund's portfolio were Microsoft Corp. (2.27% of the Fund's net assets),
General Electric Co. (2.16%), Coca-Cola (1.92%), Merck (1.83%) and Bristol-
Meyers Squibb Co. (1.76%).++

THE AMERICAN PERFORMANCE EQUITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Market action favored liquidity during the period, as well as the largest and
best-known names. Moreover, throughout the year, as the currency crises abroad
deepened and spread, the list of the "favored few" grew narrower and narrower.
While the Fund is focused on larger cap issues and held a number of these
names, it also held others--and very simply, the vast majority of stocks
outside the Nifty Fifty were overlooked and undervalued as investors stampeded
to the big names.
 
As a result, the Fund considerably lagged its benchmark, the S&P 500 Stock
Index. Over the twelve months ended August 31, 1998, the Fund produced a total
return of 0.79% (without the sales charge),+ versus the return of 8.12%
produced by the S&P 500.
 
THE NIFTY FIFTY AND BEYOND
 
In the months ahead, many of the biggest and best-known names may be affected
as demand around the world declines due to the currency crises. Clearly, there
are no quick fixes in sight. At the same time, however, while these economies
are under stress, the problems are now recognized and, in that, we believe, are
somewhat closer to being solved. In addition, while the U.S. economy is showing
signs of slowing, we believe it is still very strong.
 
Of course, given the uncertain environment, the market may be more volatile in
the months ahead--and security selection and diversification will be key to
success. Nevertheless, this too shall pass, and we remain optimistic about the
long-term prospects for stocks in general and for our holdings in particular.
 
As of August 31, 1998, the top five holdings in the Fund were Allstate Corp.

THE AMERICAN PERFORMANCE GROWTH EQUITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are very pleased to report that the Fund's performance over its first ten
months of operations was very strong. Invested primarily in large mid-cap and
large-cap growth companies with strong earnings track records, the portfolio
benefited handsomely as these stocks led the market higher. In particular, the
portfolio's positions in the technology sector made substantial contributions
to its performance. Over the period, Dell Computer (2.05% of the Fund's net
assets) climbed 71%; Cisco Systems (2.81%) rose 41%; Lucent Technologies
(2.41%) and AirTouch (2.06%) gained over 30%.++
 
As result, while it is far too early to make any definitive judgment regarding
long-term performance, initial results were very encouraging. From its
inception on November 3, 1997, to the end of the period on August 31, 1998, the
Fund produced a total return of 12.69% (without sales charge),+ outperforming
its benchmark, the S&P 500, which produced a return of 6.05% for the period.
 
BUMPS AHEAD?
 
While we are optimistic about prospects for stocks in the coming months, we are
also cautious. Corporate profits are still strong, but, we believe, it is now
clear that our economy is slowing.
 
Moreover, many U.S. corporations are beginning to feel the effects of the
global currency crisis. However, many large-cap stocks are still rather highly
valued, and because investors have become so accustomed to stellar earnings
reports over the past several years, any earnings disappointment or minor
decline could be treated harshly. Consequently, while the long-term prospects
for stocks remain very bright, we expect the market to be rather volatile over
the next several months.

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In short, it was a very frustrating year for small-cap investors. Reaping the
benefits of restructuring, larger capitalization stocks stole the limelight in
the first half of the period ended August 31, 1998. Then, as volatility
increased and investors sought safety, larger cap stocks pushed all others off
stage. As a result, the smaller cap issues severely lagged the performance of
larger cap stocks--despite attractive valuations that grew only more attractive
as the period wore on.
 
This became even more exasperating as strategists on Wall Street repeatedly
pointed out the situation--and market sentiment refused to change. During the
second quarter of 1998, many of the sectors in the small-cap market registered
a positive return. However, over the course of the year ended August 31, 1998,
the S&P 600* and the Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000, produced negative
returns of 18.30% and 19.40%, respectively. For the same time period, the Fund
produced a total return of -30.85% (without sales charge).+
 
A TURNAROUND IS OVERDUE. . .
 
After this confounding year, it is clear that just because smaller cap stocks
are cheap, fundamentally strong and represent outstanding value for investors,
it does not mean they are poised for an explosive move any time soon. Given the
uncertain environment, investors may continue to put emphasis on safety and
liquidity.
 
Ironically, however, most smaller capitalization companies have little, if any,
exposure to fallout from Asia--while many multinationals are positioned
squarely on the frontlines. Also, in times of slowing growth, smaller cap
issues have historically offered investors more potential for growth than their
large-cap counterparts. So we believe that smaller cap stocks, now extremely
cheap, are unlikely to go much lower. And while we hesitate to predict when the
environment will change, inevitably, we believe it will. From a long-term
perspective, it's our view that small-cap stocks represent simply outstanding
opportunities.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. THE INVESTMENT RETURN AND
NET ASSET VALUE WILL FLUCTUATE, SO THAT THE INVESTOR'S SHARES, WHEN REDEEMED,
MAY BE WORTH MORE OR LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL COST.
 
*The S&P 600 consists of 600 domestic stocks chosen for market size, liquidity
 and industry group representation. It is a market-value weighted index, with
 each stock's weight in the index proportionate to its market value.
 
+With a maximum sales charge of 5.00%, the Fund's return for the period was -
 34.29%.
 
++The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.
 
Certain fees of the funds are currently being waived, resulting in higher
returns than would occur if full fees were charged.
 
The performance of the American Performance Aggressive Growth Fund is compared
to the Russell 2000 Index, which represents 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.

                         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--U.S. Treasury Fund, Cash Management Fund,
Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund, Short-Term Income Fund, Intermediate Bond
Fund, Bond Fund, Balanced Fund, Equity Fund, Growth Equity Fund, and
Aggressive Growth Fund, including the schedules of portfolio investments, as
of August 31, 1998, and the related statements of operations, statements of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights for 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, 1998 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 that 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, 1998, 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.

AMERICAN PERFORMANCE FUNDS
 
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                AUGUST 31, 1998
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 U.S. Treasury Fund, the Cash Management Fund, the Intermediate
 Tax-Free Bond Fund, the Short-Term Income Fund, the Intermediate Bond Fund,
 the Bond Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Equity Fund, the Growth Equity Fund
 and the Aggressive Growth 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 U.S. Treasury Fund and the Cash Management
 Fund (the "Money Market Funds") is to seek current income with liquidity and
 stability of principal. The Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund, the Short-Term
 Income Fund, and the Intermediate Bond Fund seek current income, consistent
 with the preservation of capital. The Bond Fund's objective is to maximize
 total return. The Balanced Fund seeks current income and, secondarily, long-
 term capital growth. The Equity Fund seeks growth of capital. The Growth
 Equity Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and growth of income. The
 Aggressive Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
 
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 (GAAP). The
 preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 in accordance with Rule
   2a-7 of the 1940 Act, at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
   Under the amortized cost method, discount or premium is amortized on a
   constant basis to the maturity of the security.
 
   Investments in common stocks, corporate bonds, commercial paper,
   municipal bonds, and U.S. Government securities of the Intermediate Tax-
   Free Bond Fund, Short-Term Income Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, Bond
   Fund, Balanced Fund, Equity Fund, Growth Equity Fund and Aggressive
   Growth Fund (collectively, "the Variable Net Asset Value Funds"), are
   valued based upon the current available prices in the principal market
   (closing sales price 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. Other
   securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at
   their fair value under procedures established by the Group's Board of
   Trustees, including the use of approved independent pricing services. 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.
 
   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.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
                                AUGUST 31, 1998
 
   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 Funds held no when-issued securities as of August 31, 1998.
 
   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 Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund,
   Short-Term Income Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, and Bond Fund. Dividends
   from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for the
   Balanced Fund, Equity Fund, Growth Equity Fund and Aggressive Growth
   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 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.
                                   Continued

   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.
 
   As of August 31, 1998 the following Funds had net capital loss
   carryforwards which will be available through the stated years to offset
   future net capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by the
   applicable regulations. To the extent this carryforward is used to offset
   future capital gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be
   distributed to shareholders:
