2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     INVESTMENT VALUATIONS--Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing
     service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality,
     coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the
     pricing service deems relevant. U.S. government securities, listed
     corporate bonds, other fixed income and asset-backed securities, unlisted
     securities and private placement securities are generally valued at the
     latest bid prices as furnished by an independent pricing service. Listed
     equity securities (and investments in closed-end investment companies) are
     valued at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange.
     Short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent
     pricing service. However, short-term securities with remaining maturities
     of sixty days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized
     cost, which approximates fair market value. Investments in other open-end
     regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value.
     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--It is the policy of the Funds to require the
     custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the
     Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the
     custodian bank's vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase
     agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by
     the Funds to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase
     agreement's collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least
     equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement
     transaction.

     The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other
     recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed
     by the Funds' adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or
     standards reviewed or established by the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts
     (the "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of
     counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly,
     the Funds could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of
     collateral securities.

     INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Interest income and expenses
     are accrued daily. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized
     as required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"). Dividend
     income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
     date. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded after the
     ex-dividend date based upon when information becomes available to the Fund

     FEDERAL TAXES--It is the Funds' policy to comply with the provisions of the
     Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to
     shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no
     provisions for federal tax are necessary.

     Withholding taxes on foreign interest and dividends have been provided for
     in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax
     rules and rates.

     At November 30, 1995, the Funds listed below, for federal tax purposes, had
     capital loss carryforwards, as noted, which will reduce each Fund's taxable
     income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the
     extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the
     distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve
     the Fund of any liability for federal tax.

</TABLE>


    WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS--The Funds may engage in
    when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued
    securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that
    sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the
    securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed
    delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the
    settlement date.

                          THE BILTMORE MUNICIPAL FUNDS

DEFERRED EXPENSES--The costs incurred by each Fund with respect to registration
of its shares in its first fiscal year, excluding the initial expense of
registering its shares, have been deferred and are being amortized using the
straight-line method over a period of five years from each Fund's commencement
date.

FUTURES CONTRACTS--The Funds listed below purchase stock index futures contracts
to manage cashflows, to enhance yield, and potentially to reduce transaction
costs. Upon entering into a stock index futures contract with a broker, the
Funds listed below are required to deposit in a segregated account a specified
amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily
and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account.
Daily, the Funds listed below receive from or pay to the broker a specified
amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a
contract is closed, the Funds recognize a realized gain or loss.

For the six months ended May 31, 1996, the Funds had realized gains/losses on
future contracts as follows:

Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the
value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the
underlying securities.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS--Emerging Markets Fund may enter into foreign
currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The
Fund may enter into these contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific
foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date as a hedge or cross hedge
against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. The objective of
the Fund's foreign currency hedging transactions is to reduce the risk that the
U.S. dollar value of the Fund's foreign currency denominated securities will
decline in value due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All foreign
currency exchange contracts are "marked to market" daily at the applicable
translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or
losses are recorded at the time the foreign currency exchange contract is offset
by entering into a closing transaction or by the delivery or receipt of the
currency. Risk may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential
inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from
unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S.
dollar.

At May 31, 1996, Emerging Markets Fund had outstanding foreign currency
contracts as set forth below:

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION--The accounting records of Emerging Markets Fund
are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies ("FC") are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of
exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation.
Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the
rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are
recorded. Differences between income and expense amounts recorded and collected
or paid are adjusted when reported by the custodian bank. The Fund does not
isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in
foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes
in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net
realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of
portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of
FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends,
interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the
U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized
foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and
liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting
from changes in the exchange rate.

USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and
revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from
those estimated.

OTHER--Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.
(3) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

(6) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Since The Biltmore Municipal Funds invest a substantial portion of their assets
in issuers located in one state, they will be more susceptible to factors
adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt
mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk
associated with such factors, at May 31, 1996, the securities in the portfolio
of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various
financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies, as indicated
below. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by
a letter of credit from any one institution or agency is also indicated below.

Emerging Markets Fund invests in securities of non-U.S. issuers. Although the
Fund maintains a diversified investment portfolio, the political or economic
developments within a particular country or region may have an adverse effect on
the ability of domiciled issuers to meet their obligations. Additionally,
political or economic developments may have an effect on the liquidity and
volatility of portfolio securities and currency holdings.
