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.

Short-Term Fixed Income Fund 3,525,132 $ 493,199 2,790,650 241,283
</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 FUNDS
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.
At May 31, 1996, the Funds had outstanding futures contracts as set forth below:

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:
<TABLE>

6/3/96 112,500 Thailand Baht 4,425 (17)
-----
Net unrealized depreciation on foreign currency contracts ($36)
</TABLE>
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
The Declaration of Trust of both The Biltmore Funds and The Biltmore Municipal
Funds permit the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional
shares of beneficial interest (without par value) of the Funds.

(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.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
% of Portfolio % of Portfolio backed by
Fund Guaranteed/Insured Largest Guarantor/Insurer
<S> <C> <C>
Georgia Municipal Bond Fund 37.3% 13.3%
North Carolina Municipal Bond Fund 30.4% 18.6%
South Carolina Municipal Bond Fund 66.2% 24.5%
</TABLE>
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.

BILTMORE MONEY MARKET FUNDS
COMBINED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
(1) ORGANIZATION
The Biltmore Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company.
The Trust consists of twelve portfolios. The following diversified portfolios
are included herein (individually referred to as the "Fund", or collectively as
the "Funds"):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Portfolio Investment Objective
- --------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------
<S> <C>
Biltmore Money Market Fund ("Money Market Fund") To provide current income consistent with stability
of principal and liquidity.
Biltmore Tax-Free Money Market Fund ("Tax-Free To provide current income exempt from federal
Fund") regular income tax consistent with stability of
principal and liquidity.
Biltmore U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund ("U.S. To provide current income consistent with stability
Treasury Fund") of principal and liquidity.
</TABLE>
The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The
assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited
to the portfolio in which shares are held.
The Funds offer two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Investment
Shares. Investment shares are identical in all respects to Institutional Shares,
except that Investment Shares are sold pursuant to a distribution plan (the
"Plan") adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Act.
(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. Except
as noted below, these policies are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
INVESTMENT VALUATIONS--The Funds use the amortized cost method to value
their portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--It is the policy of the Funds (other than Tax-Free
Fund, which may not invest in repurchase agreements) 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 Board of Trustees of the trust
(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").
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally
accepted accounting principles. Tax-Free Fund has a permanent difference
due to the differing treatment of a capital contribution from Wachovia
Corporation related to the sale of an Orange County, CA bond. Amounts as of
November 30, 1995,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BILTMORE MONEY MARKET FUNDS
have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in paid in capital of
$150,000. Net investment income, net realized gains, and net assets were
not affected by this change.
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.
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.
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
its commencement date.
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
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value) for each
class of shares of the funds.
Transactions in shares were as follows:

BILTMORE MONEY MARKET FUNDS
(4) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE--Wachovia Investment Management, the Funds' investment
adviser (the "Adviser"), is entitled to receive for its services an annual
investment advisory fee equal to 0.50% of each Fund's average daily net assets.
The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser
can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole
discretion.
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION--On December 7, 1994, the Tax-Free Fund sold at amortized
cost an Orange County, CA bond, with a $1,000,000 par value, to Wachovia
Corporation. In connection with this purchase, Wachovia Corporation is
considered to have made a capital contribution in the amount of $150,000 to
Tax-Free Fund, which represents the difference between the market value and
amortized cost of the security at the date of sale.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE--Federated Administrative Services ("FAS"), provides the
Funds with certain administrative personnel and services. This fee is based on
the level of average aggregate net assets of the Trust and The Biltmore
Municipal Funds for the period. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive a portion of
its fee.
DISTRIBUTION SERVICES FEE--Under the terms of the Plan, each Fund will
compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), the principal distributor, from
its net assets to finance activities intended to result in the sale of each
Fund's Investment Shares. The Plan provides that each Fund may incur
distribution expenses up to 0.40% of the average daily net assets of its
Investment Shares, annually, to compensate FSC.
The distributor may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The
distributor can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its
sole discretion.
TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT FEES--Federated Services Company
("FServ"), through its subsidiary, Federated Shareholder Services Company
("FSSC"), serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds. The
fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and
transactions made by shareholders.
PORTFOLIO ACCOUNTING FEES--FServ maintains the Funds' accounting records for
which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of each Fund's average
daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
CUSTODIAN FEES--Wachovia Bank of North Carolina, N.A. is the Funds' custodian
for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of each Fund's
average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES--Organizational expenses were borne initially by FAS.
The Funds have agreed to reimburse FAS for the organizational expenses during
the five-year period following the date that each Fund became effective. For the
six months ended May 31, 1995, pursuant to this agreement, the Funds paid FAS as
follows:

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any
bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other
government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves risk, including possible
loss of principal. Although money market funds seek to maintain a stable net
asset value of $1.00 per share, there is no assurance that they will be able to
do so.

BILTMORE MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
(1) ORGANIZATION
The Biltmore Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company.
The Trust consists of twelve portfolios. The financial statements included
herein are only those of Biltmore Money Market Fund (the "Fund"), a diversified
portfolio. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income
consistent with stability of principal and liquidity. The financial statements
of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio
are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which
shares are held.
The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Investment
Shares. Investment Shares are identical in all respects to Institutional Shares
except that Investment Shares are sold pursuant to a distribution plan (the
"Plan") adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Act.
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
INVESTMENT VALUATIONS--The Fund's use of the amortized cost method to value
its portfolio securities is in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--It is the policy of the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other
recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed
by the Fund's adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or
standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees of the trust
(the "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of
counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly,
the Fund 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").
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
FEDERAL TAXES--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to
shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no
provisions for federal tax are necessary.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS--The Fund may engage in
when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued
securities on the trade date and maintains 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.
DEFERRED EXPENSES--The costs incurred by the 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
the Fund's commencement date.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BILTMORE MONEY MARKET FUND
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
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value) for each
class of shares of the fund.
Transactions in shares were as follows:

(4) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE--Wachovia Asset Management, the Fund's investment
adviser (the "Adviser"), is entitled to receive for its services an annual
investment advisory fee equal to 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser
can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole
discretion.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE--Federated Administrative Services ("FAS"), provides the Fund
with certain administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based
on the level of average aggregate net assets of the Trust and The Biltmore
Municipal Funds for the period. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive a portion of
its fee.
DISTRIBUTION SERVICES FEE--Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate
Federated Securities Corp., the principal distributor, from the net assets of
the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's
Investment Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution
expenses up to 0.40% of the average daily net assets, annually, to compensate
FSC. The distributor may voluntarily choose to waive a portion of its fee. The
distributor can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its
sole discretion.

BILTMORE MONEY MARKET FUND
TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT FEES--Federated Services Company
("FServ"), through its subsidiary Federated Shareholder Services Company
("FSSC"), serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee
paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions
made by shareholders.
PORTFOLIO ACCOUNTING FEES--FServ maintains the Fund's accounting records for
which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of the Fund's average
daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
CUSTODIAN FEES--Wachovia Bank of North Carolina, N.A. is the Fund's custodian.
The fee is based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the
period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES--Organizational expenses of $65,357 were borne initially
by FAS. The Fund has agreed to reimburse FAS for the organizational expenses
during the five year period following the effective date. For the six months
ended May 31, 1996, the Fund paid $10,616 pursuant to this agreement.
GENERAL--Certain of the Officers of the Trust are Officers and Directors or
Trustees of the above companies.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any
bank,

principal. Although money market funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value
of $1.00 per share, there is no assurance that they will be able to do so.

BILTMORE TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
(1) ORGANIZATION
The Biltmore Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company.
The Trust consists of twelve portfolios. The financial statements included
herein are only those of Biltmore Tax-Free Money Market Fund (the "Fund"), a
diversified portfolio. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide
current income exempt from federal regular income tax consistent with stability
of principal and liquidity. The financial statements of the other portfolios are
presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a
shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.
The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Investment
Shares. Investment Shares are identical in all respects to Institutional Shares
except that Investment Shares are sold pursuant to a distribution plan (the
"Plan") adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Act.
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
INVESTMENT VALUATIONS--The Fund's use of the amortized cost method to value
its portfolio securities is in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--It is the policy of the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other
recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed
by the Fund's adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or
standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees of the trust
(the "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of
counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly,
the Fund 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").
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally
accepted accounting principles. The Fund has a permanent difference due to
the differing treatment of a capital contribution from Wachovia Corporation
related to the sale of an Orange County, CA bond. Amounts as of November
30, 1995, have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in paid in capital
of $150,000. Net investment income, net realized gains, and net assets were
not affected by this change.
FEDERAL TAXES--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to
shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no
provisions for federal tax are necessary.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS--The Fund may engage in
when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued
securities on the trade date and maintains 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.
DEFERRED EXPENSES--The costs incurred by the 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
the Fund's commencement date.
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
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value) for each
class of shares.
Transactions in shares were as follows:

</TABLE>
At May 31, 1996, capital paid-in aggregated $180,641,025.
(4) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE--Wachovia Asset Management, the Fund's investment
adviser (the "Adviser"), is entitled to receive for its services an annual
investment advisory fee equal to 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser
can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole
discretion.
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION--On December 7, 1994, the Fund sold at amortized cost an
Orange County, CA bond, with a $1,000,000 par value, to Wachovia Corporation. In
connection with this purchase, Wachovia Corporation is considered to have made a
capital contribution in the amount of $150,000 to the Fund, which represents the
difference between the market value and amortized cost of the security at the
date of sale.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE--Federated Administrative Services ("FAS"), provides the Fund
with certain administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based
on the level of average aggregate net assets of the Trust and The Biltmore
Municipal Funds for the period. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive a portion of
its fee.
DISTRIBUTION SERVICES FEE--Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate
Federated Securities Corp., the principal distributor, from the net assets of
the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's
Investment Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution
expenses up to 0.40% of the average daily net assets, annually, to compensate
FSC. The distributor may voluntarily choose to waive a portion of its fee. The
distributor can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its
sole discretion.
TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT FEES--Federated Services Company
("FServ"), through its subsidiary Federated Shareholder Services Company
("FSSC"), serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee
paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions
made by shareholders.
PORTFOLIO ACCOUNTING FEES--FServ Company maintains the Fund's accounting records
for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of the Fund's average
daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
CUSTODIAN FEES--Wachovia Bank of North Carolina, N.A. is the Fund's custodian.
The fee is based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the
period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES--Organizational expenses of $59,661 were borne initially
by FAS. The Fund has agreed to reimburse FAS for the organizational expenses
during the five year period following the effective date. For the six months
ended May 31, 1996, the Fund paid $8,200 pursuant to this agreement.
GENERAL--Certain of the Officers of the Trust are Officers and Directors or
Trustees of the above companies.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any
bank,
and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government

principal. Although money market funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value
of $1.00 per share, there is no assurance that they will be able to do so.

BILTMORE U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
(1) ORGANIZATION
The Biltmore Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company.
The Trust consists of twelve portfolios. The financial statements included
herein are only those of Biltmore U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (the "Fund"),
a diversified portfolio. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide
current income consistent with stability of principal and liquidity. The
financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The
assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited
to the portfolio in which shares are held.
The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Investment
Shares. Investment Shares are identical in all respects to Institutional Shares,
except that Investment Shares are sold pursuant to a distribution plan (the
"Plan") adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Act.
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
INVESTMENT VALUATIONS--The Fund's use of the amortized cost method to value
its portfolio securities is in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--It is the policy of the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other
recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed
by the Fund's adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or
standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees of the trust
(the "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of
counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly,
the Fund 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").
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
FEDERAL TAXES--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to
shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no
provisions for federal tax are necessary.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS--The Fund may engage in
when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued
securities on the trade date and maintains 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.
DEFERRED EXPENSES--The costs incurred by the 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
the Fund's commencement date.
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
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value) for each
class of shares of the Fund.
Transactions in shares were as follows:

At May 31, 1996, capital paid-in aggregated $351,414,421.
(4) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE--Wachovia Asset Management, the Fund's investment
adviser (the "Adviser"), is entitled to receive for its services an annual
investment advisory fee equal to 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser
can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole
discretion.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE--Federated Administrative Services ("FAS") provides the Fund
with certain administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS is based
on the level of average aggregate net assets of the Trust and The Biltmore
Municipal Funds for the period. FAS may voluntarily choose to waive a portion of
its fee.
DISTRIBUTION SERVICES FEE--Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate
Federated Securities Corp., the principal distributor, from the net assets of
the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund's
Investment Shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution
expenses up to 0.40% of the average daily net assets, annually, to compensate
FSC. The distributor may voluntarily choose to waive a portion of its fee. The
distributor can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its
sole discretion.
TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT FEES--Federated Services Company
("FServ"), through its subsidiary Federated Shareholder Services Company
("FSSC"), serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee
paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions
made by shareholders.
PORTFOLIO ACCOUNTING FEES--FServ maintains the Fund's accounting records for
which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of the Fund's average
daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
CUSTODIAN FEES--Wachovia Bank of North Carolina, N.A. is the Fund's custodian.
The fee is based on the level of the Fund's average daily net assets for the
period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES--Organizational expenses of $67,445 were borne initially
by FAS. The Fund has agreed to reimburse FAS for the organizational expenses
during the five-year period following the effective date. For the six months
ended May 31, 1996, the Fund paid $8,200 pursuant to this agreement.
GENERAL--Certain of the Officers of the Trust are Officers and Directors or
Trustees of the above companies.

Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any
bank,
and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other government
agency. Investment in mutual funds involves risk, including possible loss of
principal. Although money market funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value
of $1.00 per share, there is no assurance that they will be able to do so.

The Biltmore Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end, management investment company.
The Trust consists of twelve portfolios. The financial statements included
herein are only those of Biltmore Prime Cash Management Fund (the "Fund"), a
diversified portfolio. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide
current income consistent with stability of principal and liquidity. The
financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The
assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited
to the portfolio in which shares are held.
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
INVESTMENT VALUATIONS--The Fund's use of the amortized cost method to value
its portfolio securities is in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--It is the policy of the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other
recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed
by the Fund's adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or
standards reviewed or established by the Board of Trustees of the Trust
(the "Trustees"). Risks may arise from the potential inability of
counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly,
the Fund 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").
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
FEDERAL TAXES--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to
shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no
provisions for federal tax are necessary.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS--The Fund may engage in
when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued
securities on the trade date and maintains 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.
DEFERRED EXPENSES--The costs incurred by the 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
the Fund's commencement date.
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.
