PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Shareholder:
I am pleased to present the combined Semi-Annual Report to
Shareholders for The Biltmore Funds and The Biltmore Municipal Funds.
This Report covers the six-month period from December 1, 1996 through
May 31, 1997, and includes a complete list of fund holdings and the
financial statements. The following fund-by-fund highlights cover
performance activity in Class A Shares, Class B Shares, and Class Y
Shares.
THE BILTMORE FUNDS
BILTMORE EQUITY FUND pursues growth through a portfolio of blue-chip
stocks issued by some of America's largest, best-known companies. In
particular, the fund's manager seeks stocks issued by companies that
are both undervalued and have good growth opportunities. Fund assets
stood at $174.5 million at the end of the period.

Class Y Shares 9.53% $ 0.08 $ 1.86 $14.81 to $14.07
</TABLE>
BILTMORE QUANTITATIVE EQUITY FUND pursues growth and income by
investing in a portfolio of stocks issued by large, established
companies across the entire industrial spectrum. On the last day of
the period, the portfolio included quality names like Anheuser-Busch,
BankAmerica, Chrysler, Coca-Cola, Dole Food, Exxon, General Electric,
Intel, Nike, and Xerox. Fund assets ended the period at $187.9
million.

Class Y Shares 12.39% $ 0.12 $ 0.79 $15.67 to $16.58
</TABLE>
BILTMORE EQUITY INDEX FUND pursues a total return that approximates
that of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index--a classic benchmark of stock
market performance.** As a result, the fund's extensive portfolio
contained stocks issued by some of America's largest, best-known
companies, such as American Brands, Avon, Bristol-Myers Squibb,
Brunswick, Caterpillar, Disney, Mattel, Rubbermaid, Whirlpool, Heinz,
and many, many more. At the end of the period, fund net assets totaled
$270.7 million.

</TABLE>
BILTMORE SPECIAL VALUES FUND pursues growth by investing in a
diversified portfolio of small-company stocks.*** Unlike many other
funds that invest in small-company stocks through a high-flying
approach, this fund is managed through a highly disciplined approach.
Its manager seeks stocks issued by well-capitalized and well-run small
companies that are selling at less than their estimated long-term
values. At the end of the period, the fund's $97.2 million portfolio
was invested across 14 business sectors.

*Performance quoted represents past performance and is not

will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be
worth more or less than their original cost.
**The Standard & Poor's 500 Index is an unmanaged index comprised of
common stocks in industry, transportation, and financial and public
utility companies. Investments cannot be made in an index.
***Small cap stocks have historically experienced greater volatility than
average.
BILTMORE EMERGING MARKETS FUND pursues growth over the long term by
investing in stocks of foreign companies located in emerging market
countries.*** The fund's managers use a unique "two-tier, equal
weighting" approach to selecting stocks for the fund that offers
greater diversification than most emerging market funds, with the
opportunity for better protection from unexpected negative
developments in any one country. At the end of the period, the fund's
portfolio contained stocks issued by companies from 28 countries. Fund
net assets ended the period at $164.7 million.

</TABLE>
BILTMORE BALANCED FUND pursues a popular investment
objective--long-term growth and current income--by investing in a
quality combination of stocks (53.9% of net assets at the end of the
period) and bonds. Bond holdings were diversified across corporate
bonds (8.5% of net assets), mortgage-backed securities (9.9% of net
assets), and U.S. Treasury securities (24.9% of net assets). At the
end of the period, fund net assets stood at $282.7 million.

BILTMORE FIXED INCOME FUND pursues a high level of total return from a
diversified portfolio of income-producing securities. At the end of
the period, the fund's $184.2 million in net assets were invested
across U.S. Treasury obligations (47.5%), government agency securities
(17.0%), and corporate bonds (28.5%).

BILTMORE SHORT-TERM FIXED INCOME FUND pursues a high level of income
from a diversified portfolio that, at the end of the period, consisted
primarily of U.S. Treasury obligations (77.5% of net assets) and
corporate bonds (21% of net assets). These short-term,
income-producing securities are managed to attempt to provide an
income stream and cushion shareholders against volatility during
periods of interest rate increases. Total net assets stood at $117.7
million on the last day of the period.

from federal regular income tax and Georgia state income tax.+ The
fund invests in a portfolio of bonds issued by municipalities across
Georgia that are rated A or higher by nationally recognized rating
agencies. Total net assets reached $14.3 million on the last day of
the period.

structures may be less diverse and mature, and their political
systems may be less stable than those of established markets.

BILTMORE NORTH CAROLINA MUNICIPAL BOND FUND pursues monthly income
exempt from federal regular income tax and North Carolina state income
tax.+ At the end of the period, the fund's $48.8 million portfolio was

(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. With respect to valuation of foreign securities, trading
in foreign cities may be completed at times which vary from the
closing of the New York Stock Exchange. Therefore, foreign
securities are valued at the latest closing price on the exchange
on which they are traded prior to the closing of the New York
Stock Exchange. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies
are translated into US dollars at the foreign exchange rate in
effect at noon, Eastern time, on the day the value of the foreign
security is determined.
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 (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 the Fund is reasonably able to
obtain information.
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 Emerging Markets Fund's
understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.
At November 30, 1996, 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
Funds 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
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE BILTMORE FUNDS
THE BILTMORE MUNICIPAL FUNDS
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 their shares, have been
deferred and are being amortized over a period not to exceed five
years from each Fund's commencement date.
FUTURES CONTRACTS--The Funds listed below purchase stock index
futures contracts to manage cashflows, enhance yield, and to
potentially 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 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 period ended May 31, 1997, the following Funds had
realized gains/losses on futures contracts as follows:
<TABLE>

Quantitative Equity Fund $ 1,209,067

Balanced Fund $ 1,631,357
</TABLE>
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, 1997, 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
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE BILTMORE FUNDS
THE BILTMORE MUNICIPAL FUNDS
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, 1997, Emerging
Markets Fund had no outstanding foreign currency contracts.
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.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES--Restricted securities are securities that
may only be resold upon registration under federal securities
laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some
cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register
such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense either upon
demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered
offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be
resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from
registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be
liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Fund will
not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's
restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers
in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at
the fair value as determined by the Fund's pricing committee.
Additional information on each restricted security held by
Emerging Markets Fund at May 31, 1997 is as follows:

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.

to finance certain activities intended to result in the sale of Class
B Shares. The Plan provides that each Fund may incur distribution
expenses up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of each Fund's
Class B Shares, annually, to compensate FSC. The distributor may
voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee and/or reimburse
certain operating expenses of the Funds. The distributor can modify or

PORTFOLIO ACCOUNTING FEES--FServ, through its subsidiary, FAS,
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

(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, 1997, 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>

Georgia Municipal Bond Fund 54% 19%
North Carolina Municipal Bond Fund 40% 23%
South Carolina Municipal Bond Fund 60% 28%
</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.

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, except for Prime Cash Fund, offer two classes of shares:
Institutional Shares and Investment Shares. Prime Cash Fund only
offers Institutional 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. 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. Investments in other open ended 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 Board of Trustees (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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BILTMORE MONEY MARKET FUNDS
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 their shares in their first fiscal year,
excluding the initial expense of registering their shares, have
been deferred and are being amortized over a period not to exceed
five years from each 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. At May 31, 1997, capital paid-in
aggregated $1,316,473,022, $252,143,628 and $607,136,925 for Prime
Cash Fund, Tax-Free Fund, and U.S.
Treasury Fund, respectively.

BILTMORE MONEY MARKET FUNDS
COMBINED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1997 (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 portfolios are included herein (individually
referred to as the "Fund", or collectively as the "Funds"):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
<S> <C> <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 To provide current income exempt
from federal ("Tax-Free 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
Treasury Fund") stability 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. 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. Investments in other open ended 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 Board of Trustees (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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BILTMORE MONEY MARKET FUNDS
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.
At November 30, 1996, Money Market Fund, for federal tax
purposes, had a capital loss carryforward of $41,509 expiring in
the year 2004, which will reduce its 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 it of any liability for federal tax.
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 their shares in their first fiscal year,
excluding the initial expense of registering their shares, have
been deferred and are being amortized over a period not to exceed
five years from each 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. At May 31, 1997, capital paid-in
aggregated $419,531,465, $252,143,628 and $607,136,925 for Money
Market Fund, Tax-Free Fund, and U.S.
Treasury Fund, respectively.

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE--Wachovia Asset Management, the Funds'
investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives 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.
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE--Federated Administrative Services ("FAS") provides
the Funds with certain administrative personnel and services. This 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. The
administrative fee during any fiscal year for the Funds shall
aggregate at least $75,000.
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.
TRANSFER 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, through its subsidiary, FAS,
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, N.A. is the Funds' custodian for which
it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of each Fund's

BILTMORE MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 1997 (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 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. The investment objective of the Fund is to
provide current income consistent with stability of principal and
liquidity.
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 uses the amortized cost method to
value its portfolio securities 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 (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.
At November 30, 1996, the Fund, for federal tax purposes, had a
capital loss carryforward of $41,509 expiring in the year 2004,
which will reduce the 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.
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
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BILTMORE MONEY MARKET FUND
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 over a period not to exceed 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:

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE--Wachovia Asset Management, the Fund's
investment adviser (the "Adviser"), receives 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
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BILTMORE MONEY MARKET FUND
assets of the Trust and The Biltmore Municipal Funds for the period.
The administrative fee during any fiscal year for the Funds shall
aggregate at least $75,000.
DISTRIBUTION SERVICES FEE--Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will
compensate Federated Securities Corp. ("FSC"), 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 of its Investment Shares,
annually, to compensate FSC.
TRANSFER AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT FEES AND EXPENSES--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, through its subsidiary, FAS,
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, N.A. is the Fund's custodian 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.
ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES--Organizational expenses of $63,357 were borne
initially by FAS. The Fund has agreed to reimburse FAS for the
organizational expenses during the five-year period following
effective date. For the period ended May 31, 1997, the Fund paid
$2,212 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
