THE TRUST
STI Classic Funds (the "Trust") is a diversified, open-end management investment
company established under Massachusetts law as a Massachusetts business trust
under a Declaration of Trust dated January 15, 1992. The Declaration of Trust
permits the Trust to offer separate series ("Funds") of units of beneficial
interest ("shares") and different classes of shares of each Fund. Shareholders
at present may purchase shares of the Trust's money market funds through two
separate classes (Trust Shares and Investor Shares) and shares of the Trust's
other funds through three separate classes (Trust Shares, Investor Shares and
Flex Shares), which provide for variations in sales charges, distribution costs,
transfer agent fees, voting rights and dividends. Except for these differences,
each Trust Share, Investor Share and Flex Share, if any, of each Fund represents
an equal proportionate interest in that portfolio. See "Description of Shares."
This Statement of Additional Information relates to the:
- Trust Shares and Investor Shares of the Trust's Prime Quality Money
Market Fund, U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund and
Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (the "Money Market Funds"):
- Trust Shares, Investor Shares and Flex Shares of the Trust's
Investment Grade Bond Fund, Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Fund,
Short-Term Bond Fund, U.S. Government Securities Fund and Limited-Term
Federal Mortgage Securities Fund (the "Bond Funds"); Investment Grade
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Florida Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Georgia Tax-Exempt
Bond Fund and Tennessee Tax-Exempt Bond Fund (the "Tax-Exempt Bond
Funds"); Capital Growth Fund, Value Income Stock Fund, Mid-Cap Equity
Fund, Sunbelt Equity Fund, International Equity Index Fund,
International Equity Fund, (the "Equity Funds"); and the Balanced
Fund:
- Trust Shares and Flex Shares of the Small Cap Equity Fund (an "Equity
Fund"); and
- Trust Shares of the Emerging Markets Fund (an "Equity Fund").
These various series are collectively referred to herein as the "Funds."
The Trust pays its expenses, including fees of its service providers, audit and
legal expenses, expenses of preparing prospectuses, proxy solicitation material
and reports to Shareholders, costs of custodial services, and registering the
shares under federal and state securities laws, pricing, insurance expenses,
litigation, and other extraordinary expenses, brokerage costs, interest charges,
taxes, and organization expenses.
DESCRIPTION OF PERMITTED INVESTMENTS
CUSTODIAL RECEIPTS
The custodian arranges for the issuance of the certificates or receipts
evidencing ownership and maintains the register. Receipts include "Treasury
Receipts" ("TRs"), "Treasury Investment Growth Receipts" ("TIGRs"), and
"Certificates of Accrual on Treasury Securities" ("CATS"). TRs, TIGRs and CATS
are sold as zero coupon securities.
B-2
<PAGE>
STRIPS
Separately Traded Interest and Principal Securities ("STRIPS") are component
parts of U.S. Treasury Securities traded through the Federal Book-Entry System.
An Advisor will only purchase STRIPS that it determines are liquid or, if
illiquid, do not violate the affected Fund's investment policy concerning
investments in illiquid securities. Consistent with Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act"), the Money Market
Funds' Advisor will only purchase STRIPS for Money Market Funds that have a
remaining maturity of 397 days or less; therefore, the Money Market Funds
currently may only purchase interest component parts of U.S. Treasury
Securities. While there is no limitation on the percentage of a Fund's assets
that may be comprised of STRIPS, the Money Market Funds' Advisor will monitor
the level of such holdings to avoid the risk of impairing shareholders'
redemption rights and of deviations in the value of shares of the Money Market
Funds.
VARIABLE RATE MASTER DEMAND NOTES
The Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Balanced Fund, Tax-Exempt Bond Funds and Value
Income Stock Fund may invest in variable rate master demand notes which may or
may not be backed by bank letters of credit. These notes permit the investment
of fluctuating amounts at varying market rates of interest pursuant to direct
arrangements between a Fund, as lender, and a borrower. Such notes provide that
the interest rate on the amount outstanding varies on a daily, weekly or monthly
basis depending upon a stated short-term interest rate index. Both the lender
and the borrower have the right to reduce the amount of outstanding indebtedness
at any time. There is no secondary market for the notes and it is not generally
contemplated that such instruments will be traded. The quality of the note or
the underlying credit must, in the opinion of the appropriate Advisor, be
equivalent to the ratings applicable to permitted investments for the particular
Fund. The appropriate Advisor will monitor on an ongoing basis the earning
power, cash flow and liquidity ratios of the issuers of such instruments and
will similarly monitor the ability of an issuer of a demand instrument to pay
principal and interest on demand.
U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCY SECURITIES
Certain investments of each of the Funds except the Short-Term U.S. Treasury
Securities Fund may include U.S. Government Agency Securities. Agencies of the
United States Government which issue obligations consist of, among others, the
Export Import Bank of the United States, Farmers Home Administration, Federal
Farm Credit Bank, Federal Housing Administration, Government National Mortgage
Association ("GNMA"), Maritime Administration, Small Business Administration and
The Tennessee Valley Authority. Obligations of instrumentalities of the United
States Government include securities issued by, among others, Federal Home Loan
Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), Federal Intermediate
Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, Fannie Mae and the United States Postal
Service as well as government trust certificates. Some of these securities are
supported by the full faith and credit of the United States Treasury (E.G., GNMA
securities), others are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the
Treasury and still others are supported only by the credit of the
instrumentality (E.G., Fannie Mae securities). Guarantees of principal by
agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government may be a guarantee of
payment at the maturity of the obligation so that in the event of a default
prior to maturity there might not be a market and thus no means of realizing the
value of the obligation prior to maturity.

MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES--GOVERNMENT PASSTHROUGH SECURITIES
The primary issuers or guarantors of these mortgage-backed securities are the
Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), Fannie Mae, and the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). Fannie Mae and FHLMC obligations are
not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government as GNMA
certificates are, but Fannie Mae and FHLMC securities are supported by the
instrumentalities' right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. GNMA, Fannie Mae,
and FHLMC each guarantees timely distributions of interest to certificate
holders. GNMA and Fannie Mae also guarantee timely distributions of scheduled
principal. In the past, FHLMC has only guaranteed the ultimate collection of
principal of the underlying mortgage loan; however, FHLMC now issues
mortgage-backed securities (FHLMC Gold PCS) which also guarantee timely payment
of monthly principal reductions.
Each of the Funds except the Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Fund, Sunbelt
Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund and International Equity Index Fund may invest
in mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies
or instrumentalities such as GNMA, Fannie Mae and FHLMC. Obligations of GNMA
are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government.
Obligations of Fannie Mae and FHLMC are not backed by the full faith and credit
of the United States Government but are considered to be of high quality since
they are considered to be instrumentalities of the United States. The market
value and interest yield of these mortgage-backed securities can vary due to
market interest rate fluctuations and early prepayments of underlying mortgages.
These securities represent ownership in a pool of federally insured mortgage
loans with a maximum maturity of 30 years. However, due to scheduled and
unscheduled principal payments on the underlying loans, these securities have a
shorter average maturity and, therefore, less principal volatility than a
comparable 30-year bond. Since prepayment rates vary widely, it is not possible
to accurately predict the average maturity of a particular mortgage-backed
security. The scheduled monthly interest and principal payments relating to
mortgages in the pool will be "passed through" to investors. Government
mortgage-backed securities differ from conventional bonds in that principal is
paid back to the certificate holders over the life of the loan rather than at
maturity. As a result, there will be monthly scheduled payments of principal
and interest. In addition, there may be unscheduled principal payments
representing prepayments on the underlying mortgages. Although these securities
may offer yields higher than those available from other types of U.S. Government
securities, mortgage-backed securities may be less effective than other types of
securities as a means of "locking in" attractive long-term rates because of the
prepayment feature. For instance, when interest rates decline, the value of
these securities likely will not rise as much as comparable debt securities due
to the prepayment feature. In addition, these prepayments can cause the price
of a mortgage-backed security originally purchased at a premium to decline in
price to its par value, which may result in a loss.
The Bond Funds, Prime Quality Money Market Fund and the Balanced Fund may also
invest in privately issued mortgage-backed securities. Two principal types of
mortgage-backed securities are collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and
real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs"), which are rated in one of
the two highest categories by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") or Moody's
Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"). CMOs are securities collateralized by
mortgages, mortgage pass-throughs, mortgage pay-through bonds (bonds
representing an interest in a pool of mortgages where the cash flow generated
from the mortgage collateral pool is dedicated to bond repayment), and
mortgage-backed bonds (general obligations of the issuers payable out of the
issuers' general funds and additionally secured by a first lien on a pool of
single family detached properties). Many CMOs are issued with a number of
classes or series which have different expected maturities. Investors
purchasing such CMOs are credited with their portion of the scheduled payments
of interest
B-4
<PAGE>
and principal on the underlying mortgages plus all unscheduled prepayments of
principal based on a predetermined priority schedule. Accordingly, the CMOs in
the longer maturity series are less likely than other mortgage pass-throughs to
be prepaid prior to their stated maturity. Although some of the mortgages
underlying CMOs may be supported by various types of insurance, and some CMOs
may be backed by GNMA certificates or other mortgage pass-throughs issued or
guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities, the CMOs themselves
are not generally guaranteed.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES--REMICS
REMICs, which were authorized under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, are private
entities formed for the purpose of holding a fixed pool of mortgages secured by
an interest in real property. REMICs are similar to CMOs in that they issue
multiple classes of securities.
Investors may purchase beneficial interests in REMICs, which are known as
"regular" interests, or "residual" interests. Guaranteed REMIC pass-through
certificates ("REMIC Certificates") issued by Fannie Mae or FHLMC represent
beneficial ownership interests in a REMIC trust consisting principally of
mortgage loans or Fannie Mae, FHLMC or GNMA-guaranteed mortgage pass-through
certificates. For FHLMC REMIC Certificates, FHLMC guarantees the timely payment
of interest.
DETERMINING MATURITIES OF MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
Due to prepayments of the underlying mortgage instruments, mortgage-backed
securities do not have a known actual maturity. In the absence of a known
maturity, market participants generally refer to an estimated average life. The
Advisors believe that the estimated average life is the most appropriate measure
of the maturity of a mortgage-backed security. Accordingly, in order to
determine whether such security is a permissible investment for a Fund, it will
be deemed to have a remaining maturity equal to its average life as estimated by
that Fund's Advisor. An average life estimate is a function of an assumption
regarding anticipated prepayment patterns. The assumption is based upon current
interest rates, current conditions in the relevant housing markets and other
factors. The assumption is necessarily subjective, and thus different market
participants could produce somewhat different average life estimates with regard
to the same security. There can be no assurance that the average life as
estimated by an Advisor will be the actual average life.
STRIPPED MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
The Limited-Term Federal Mortgage Securities Fund may also invest in stripped
mortgage-backed securities, which are securities that are created when a U.S.
Government agency or a financial institution separates the interest and
principal components of a mortgage-backed security and sells them as individual
securities. The holder of the "principal-only" security (PO) receives the
principal payments made by the underlying mortgage- backed security, while the
holder of the "interest-only" security (IO) receives interest payments from the
same underlying security.
The prices of stripped mortgage-backed securities may be particularly affected
by changes in interest rates. As interest rates fall, prepayment rates tend to
increase, which tends to reduce prices of IOs and increase prices of POs.
Rising interest rates can have the opposite effect.
B-5
<PAGE>
DOLLAR ROLLS
Dollar rolls may be renewed prior to cash settlement and initially may involve
only a firm commitment agreement by the Fund to buy a security.
If the broker-dealer to whom the Fund sells the security becomes insolvent, the
Fund's right to repurchase the security may be restricted. Other risks involved
in entering into dollar rolls include the risk that the value of the security
may change adversely over the term of the dollar roll and that the security the
Fund is required to repurchase may be worth less than the security that the Fund
originally held. To avoid any leveraging concerns, the Fund will place U.S.
Government or other liquid, high grade assets in a segregated account in an
amount sufficient to cover its repurchase obligation.
GICS
A GIC is a general obligation of the issuing insurance company and not a
separate account. The purchase price paid for a GIC becomes part of the general
assets of the issuer, and the contract is paid at maturity from the general
assets of the issuer.
Generally, GICs are not assignable or transferable without the permission of the
issuing insurance company. For this reason, an active secondary market in GICs
does not currently exist and GICs are considered to be illiquid investments.
LOAN PARTICIPATIONS
In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the corporate borrower, a loan
participation may be subject to certain defenses that can be asserted by the
borrower as a result of improper conduct by the intermediary bank. In addition,
in the event the underlying corporate borrower fails to pay principal and
interest when due, the Fund may be subject to delays, expenses, and risks that
are greater than those that would have been involved if the Fund had purchased a
direct obligation of the borrower. Under the terms of a Loan Participation, the
Fund may be regarded as a creditor of the intermediary bank (rather than of the
underlying corporate borrower), so that the Fund may also be subject to the risk
that the intermediary bank may become insolvent.
The secondary market for loan participations is limited and any such
participation purchased by the Fund may be regarded as illiquid.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES
In addition to mortgage-backed securities, the Bond Funds, Prime Quality Money
Market Fund, Limited-Term Federal Mortgage Securities Fund and Balanced Fund may
invest in other asset-backed securities rated in one of the two highest rating
categories by S&P or Moody's, including company receivables, truck and auto
loans, leases and credit card receivables. The Bond Funds may invest in other
asset-backed securities that may be created in the future if the Advisor
determines they are suitable. These issues may be traded over-the-counter and
typically have a short-intermediate maturity structure depending on the paydown
characteristics of the underlying financial assets which are passed through to
the security holder.
Asset-backed securities are not issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities; however, the payment of principal and interest on
such obligations may be guaranteed up to certain amounts and,
B-6
<PAGE>
for a certain period, by a letter of credit issued by a financial institution
(such as a bank or insurance company) unaffiliated with the issuers of such
securities. The purchase of asset-backed securities raises risk considerations
peculiar to the financing of the instruments underlying such securities. For
example, there is a risk that another party could acquire an interest in the
obligations superior to that of the holders of the asset-backed securities.
There also is the possibility that recoveries on repossessed collateral may not,
in some cases, be available to support payments on those securities.
Asset-backed securities entail prepayment risk, which may vary depending on the
type of asset, but is generally less than the prepayment risk associated with
mortgage-backed securities. In addition, credit card receivables are unsecured
obligations of the card holder.
The market for asset-backed securities is at a relatively early stage of
development. Accordingly, there may be a limited secondary market for such
securities.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Each of the Funds, except the Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Fund, may
enter into repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are agreements by which
a person (E.G., a Fund) obtains a security and simultaneously commits to return
the security to the seller (a primary securities dealer as recognized by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York or a national member bank as defined in Section
3(d)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended) at an agreed upon
price (including principal and interest) on an agreed upon date within a number
of days (usually not more than seven) from the date of purchase. The resale
price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed upon market rate of interest
which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the underlying security. A
repurchase agreement involves the obligation of the seller to pay the agreed
upon price, which obligation is, in effect, secured by the value of the
underlying security.
Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans by a Fund for purposes of its
investment limitations. The repurchase agreements entered into by a Fund will
provide that the underlying security at all times shall have a value at least
equal to 102% of the resale price stated in the agreement (the Advisors monitor
compliance with this requirement). Under all repurchase agreements entered into
by a Fund, the appropriate Custodian or its agent must take possession of the
underlying collateral. However, if the seller defaults, a Fund could realize a
loss on the sale of the underlying security to the extent that the proceeds of
the sale including accrued interest are less than the resale price provided in
the agreement including interest. In addition, even though the Bankruptcy Code
provides protection for most repurchase agreements, if the seller should be
involved in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, a Fund may incur delay and
costs in selling the underlying security or may suffer a loss of principal and
interest if the Fund is treated as an unsecured creditor and required to return
the underlying security to the seller's estate.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES include both municipal notes and municipal bonds.
Municipal notes include general obligation notes, tax anticipation notes,
revenue anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes, certificates of
indebtedness, demand notes and participation interests in municipal notes.
Municipal bonds include general obligation bonds, revenue or special obligation
bonds, private activity and industrial development bonds and participation
interests in municipal bonds.
B-7
<PAGE>
MUNICIPAL NOTES in which the Short-Term Bond Fund, Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund
and Tax-Exempt Bond Funds may invest, consist of general obligation notes, tax
anticipation notes (notes sold to finance working capital needs of the issuer in
anticipation of receiving taxes on a future date), revenue anticipation notes
(notes sold to provide needed cash prior to receipt of expected non-tax revenues
from a specific source), bond anticipation notes, certificates of indebtedness,
demand notes and construction loan notes. A Fund's investments in any of the
notes described above will be limited to those obligations (i) where both
principal and interest are backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States, (ii) which are rated MIG-2 or V-MIG-2 at the time of investment by
Moody's, (iii) which are rated SP-2 at the time of investment by S&P, or (iv)
which, if not rated by S&P or Moody's, are in the Advisor's judgement, of at
least comparable quality to MIG-2, VMIG-2 or SP-2.
MUNICIPAL BONDS must be rated at least BBB or better by S&P or at least Baa or
better by Moody's at the time of purchase for the Tax-Exempt Bond Funds or in
one of the two highest short-term rating categories by S&P or Moody's for the
Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund or, if not rated by S&P or Moody's, must be deemed
by the Advisor to have essentially the same characteristics and quality as bonds
having the above ratings. A Fund may purchase industrial development and
pollution control bonds if the interest paid is exempt from Federal income tax.
These bonds are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to raise money to
finance various privately-operated facilities for business and manufacturing,
housing, sports and pollution control. These bonds are also used to finance
public facilities such as airports, mass transit systems, ports and parking.
The payment of the principal and interest on such bonds is dependent solely on
the ability of the facility's user to meet its financial obligations and the
pledge, if any, of real and personal property so financed as security for such
payment.
OTHER TYPES OF TAX-EXEMPT INSTRUMENTS which are permissible investments for the
Short-Term Bond Fund, Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and Tax-Exempt Bond Funds
include floating rate notes. Investments in such floating rate instruments will
normally involve industrial development or revenue bonds which provide that the
rate of interest is set as a specific percentage of a designated base rate (such
as the prime rate) at a major commercial bank, and that the Fund can demand
payment of the obligation at all times or at stipulated dates on short notice
(not to exceed 30 days) at par plus accrued interest. Such obligations are
frequently secured by letters of credit or other credit support arrangements
provided by banks. The quality of the underlying credit or of the bank, as the
case may be, must, in the Advisor's opinion be equivalent to the long-term bond
or commercial paper ratings stated above. The Advisor will monitor the earning
power, cash flow and liquidity ratios of the issuers of such instruments and the
ability of an issuer of a demand instrument to pay principal and interest on
demand. The Funds may also purchase participation interests in municipal
securities (such as industrial development bonds and municipal lease/purchase
agreements). A participation interest gives a Fund an undivided interest in the
underlying municipal security. If it is unrated, the participation interest
will be backed by an irrevocable letter of credit or guarantee of a
credit-worthy financial institution or the payment obligations otherwise will be
collateralized by U.S. Government Securities. Participation interests may have
fixed, variable or floating rates of interest and may include a demand feature.
A participation interest without a demand feature or with a demand feature
exceeding seven days may be deemed to be an illiquid security subject to the
Funds' investment limitations restricting their purchases of illiquid
securities. A Fund may purchase other types of tax-exempt instruments as long
as they are of a quality equivalent to the bond or commercial paper ratings
stated above.
Opinions relating to the validity of municipal securities and to the exemption
of interest thereon from federal income tax are rendered by bond counsel to the
respective issuers at the time of issuance. Neither the Funds nor an Advisor
will review the proceedings relating to the issuance of municipal securities or
the basis for such opinions.
B-8
<PAGE>
STANDBY COMMITMENTS AND PUTS
The Prime Quality Money Market Fund, Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Balanced
Fund, Tax-Exempt Bond Funds and the Bond Funds may purchase securities at a
price which would result in a yield to maturity lower than that generally
offered by the seller at the time of purchase when they can simultaneously
acquire the right to sell the securities back to the seller, the issuer or a
third party (the "writer") at an agreed-upon price at any time during a stated
period or on a certain date. Such a right is generally denoted as a "standby
commitment" or a "put." The purpose of engaging in transactions involving puts
is to maintain flexibility and liquidity to permit the Funds to meet redemptions
and remain as fully invested as possible in municipal securities. The Funds
reserve the right to engage in put transactions. The right to put the
securities depends on the writer's ability to pay for the securities at the time
the put is exercised. A Fund would limit its put transactions to institutions
which the Advisor believes present minimal credit risks, and the Advisor would
use its best efforts to initially determine and continue to monitor the
financial strength of the sellers of the options by evaluating their financial
statements and such other information as is available in the marketplace. It
may, however be difficult to monitor the financial strength of the writers
because adequate current financial information may not be available. In the
event that any writer is unable to honor a put for financial reasons, a Fund
would be a general creditor (I.E., on a parity with all other unsecured
creditors) of the writer. Furthermore, particular provisions of the contract
between the Fund and the writer may excuse the writer from repurchasing the
securities; for example, a change in the published rating of the underlying
securities or any similar event that has an adverse effect on the issuer's
credit or a provision in the contract that the put will not be exercised except
in certain special cases, for example, to maintain portfolio liquidity. The
Fund could, however, at any time sell the underlying portfolio security in the
open market or wait until the portfolio security matures, at which time it
should realize the full par value of the security.
The securities purchased subject to a put may be sold to third persons at any
time, even though the put is outstanding, but the put itself, unless it is an
integral part of the security as originally issued, may not be marketable or
otherwise assignable. Therefore, the put would have value only to the Fund.
Sale of the securities to third parties or lapse of time with the put
unexercised may terminate the right to put the securities. Prior to the
expiration of any put option, the Fund could seek to negotiate terms for the
extension of such an option. If such a renewal cannot be negotiated on terms
satisfactory to the Fund, the Fund could, of course, sell the portfolio
security. The maturity of the underlying security will generally be different
from that of the put. There will be no limit to the percentage of portfolio
securities that the Fund may purchase subject to a standby commitment or put,
but the amount paid directly or indirectly for all standby commitments or puts
which are not integral parts of the security as originally issued held in the
Fund will not exceed 1/2 of 1% of the value of the total assets of such Fund
calculated immediately after any such put is acquired.
FOREIGN SECURITIES
The Prime Quality Money Market Fund, Investment Grade Bond Fund, Short-Term Bond
Fund, Balanced Fund and each of the Equity Funds, except the Sunbelt Equity
Fund, may invest in U.S. dollar denominated obligations or securities of foreign
issuers. The International Equity Index and International Equity Funds will
invest primarily in certain obligations or securities of foreign issuers.
Possible investments include equity securities of foreign entities, obligations
of foreign branches of U.S. banks and of foreign banks, including, without
limitation, European Certificates of Deposit, European Time Deposits, European
Bankers' Acceptances, Canadian Time Deposits and Yankee Certificates of Deposit,
and investments in Canadian Commercial Paper and foreign securities.
Permissible investments may consist of obligations of foreign branches of U.S.
banks and of foreign banks, including European Certificates of Deposit, European
Time Deposits, Canadian Time Deposits and
B-9
<PAGE>
Yankee Certificates of Deposits, Canadian Commercial Paper, and Europaper. In
addition, each of the above- mentioned Funds, except for the Short-Term Bond
Fund, may invest in American Depositary Receipts. These instruments may subject
the Funds to investment risks that differ in some respects from those related
to investments in obligations of U.S. domestic issuers. Such risks include
future adverse political and economic developments, the possible imposition of
withholding taxes on interest or other income, possible seizure,
nationalization, or expropriation of foreign deposits, the possible
establishment of exchange controls or taxation at the source, greater
fluctuations in value due to changes in exchange rates, or the adoption of other
foreign governmental restrictions which might adversely affect the payment of
principal and interest on such obligations. Such investments may also entail
higher custodial fees and sales commissions than domestic investments. Foreign
issuers of securities or obligations are often subject to accounting treatment
and engage in business practices different from those respecting domestic
issuers of similar securities or obligations. Foreign branches of U.S. banks
and foreign banks may be subject to less stringent reserve requirements than
those applicable to domestic branches of U.S. banks.
By investing in foreign securities, the International Equity Index,
International Equity, and Emerging Markets Equity Funds attempt to take
advantage of differences between both economic trends and the performance of
securities markets in the various countries, regions and geographic areas as
prescribed by each Fund's investment objective and policies. During certain
periods the investment return on securities in some or all countries may exceed
the return on similar investments in the United States, while at other times the
investment return may be less than that on similar U.S. securities. Shares of
the International Equity Index, International Equity, and Emerging Markets
Equity Funds, when included in appropriate amounts in a portfolio otherwise
consisting of domestic securities, may provide a source of increased
diversification. The International Equity Index, International Equity, and
Emerging Markets Equity Funds seek increased diversification by combining
securities from various countries and geographic areas that offer different
investment opportunities and are affected by different economic trends. The
international investments of the International Equity Index, International
Equity, and Emerging Markets Equity Funds may reduce the effect that events in
any one country or geographic area will have on its investment holdings. Of
course, negative movement by a Fund's investments in one foreign market
represented in its portfolio may offset potential gains from the Fund's
investments in another country's markets.
The Emerging Markets Equity Fund considers countries having developing markets
to be all countries that are considered to be developing or emerging countries
by the World Bank or the International Finance Corporation, as well as countries
classified by the United Nations or otherwise regarded by the international
financial community as developing. Currently, the countries excluded from this
category are Ireland, Spain, New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, Italy,
the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, France, Canada, Germany, Denmark, the United
States, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Japan and Switzerland.
ADRS
Holders of unsponsored depositary receipts generally bear all the costs of the
unsponsored facility. The depositary of an unsponsored facility frequently is
under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the
issuer of the deposited security or to pass through, to the holders of the
receipts, voting rights with respect to the deposited securities.
SUPRANATIONAL AGENCY OBLIGATIONS
The Prime Quality Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Securities Fund, Investment
Grade Bond Fund, Balanced Fund and Short-Term Bond Fund may purchase obligations
of supranational agencies. Currently these
B-10
<PAGE>
Funds intend to invest only in obligations issued or guaranteed by the Asian
Development Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (World Bank), African Development Bank, European
Coal and Steel Community, European Economic Community, European Investment Bank
and the Nordic Investment Bank.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES AND MUNICIPAL FORWARDS
The Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Balanced Fund, Bond Funds, Tax-Exempt Bond
Funds, Value Income Stock Fund, U.S. Government Securities Fund, and the
Limited-Term Federal Mortgage Securities Fund may purchase when-issued
securities, in which case delivery and payment normally take place within 45
days (90 days with respect to the Limited-Term Federal Mortgage Security Fund)
after the date of commitment to purchase.
In addition, the Tax-Exempt Bond Funds may purchase municipal forwards for which
delivery of the underlying municipal security normally occurs after 45 days but
before one year after the commitment date.
The Funds will only make commitments to purchase when-issued securities and
municipal forwards with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, but
may sell them before the settlement date. When-issued securities are subject to
market fluctuation, and accrue no interest to the purchaser during this
pre-settlement period. The payment obligation and the interest rate that will
be received on the securities are each fixed at the time the purchaser enters
into the commitment. Purchasing municipal forwards and when-issued securities
entails leveraging and can involve a risk that the yields available in the
market when the delivery takes place may actually be higher than those obtained
in the transaction itself. In that case, there could be an unrealized loss at
the time of delivery.
Segregated accounts will be established with the appropriate Custodian, and a
Fund will maintain high quality, liquid assets in an amount at least equal in
value to its commitments to purchase when-issued securities and municipal
forwards. If the value of these assets declines, the Fund will place additional
liquid assets in the account on a daily basis so that the value of the assets in
the account is equal to the amount of such commitments.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES
Restricted Securities are securities that may not be sold to the public without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") absent an
exemption from registration. Permitted investments for the Balanced Fund, Bond
Funds, Tax-Exempt Bond Funds and Equity Funds include restricted securities, and
each such Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities,
subject to each Fund's investment limitations on the purchase of illiquid
securities. Restricted Securities, including securities eligible for re-sale
under 1933 Act Rule 144A, that are determined to be liquid are not subject to
this limitation. This determination is to be made by a Fund's Advisor pursuant
to guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees. Under these guidelines, the
particular Advisor will consider the frequency of trades and quotes for the
security, the number of dealers in, and potential purchasers for, the
securities, dealer undertakings to make a market in the security, and the nature
of the security and of the marketplace trades. In purchasing such Restricted
Securities, each Advisor intends to purchase securities that are exempt from
registration under Rule 144A under the 1933 Act.

SECURITIES LENDING
Each Fund may lend securities pursuant to agreements which require that the
loans be continuously secured by collateral at all times equal to 100% of the
market value of the loaned securities which consists of: cash, securities of
the U.S. Government or its agencies, or any combination of cash and such
securities. Such loans will not be made if, as a result, the aggregate amount
of all outstanding securities loans for a Fund exceed one-third of the value of
the Fund's total assets taken at fair market value. A Fund will continue to
receive interest on the securities lent while simultaneously earning interest on
the investment of the cash collateral in U.S. Government securities. However, a
Fund will normally pay lending fees to such broker-dealers and related expenses
from the interest earned on invested collateral. There may be risks of delay in
receiving additional collateral or risks of delay in recovery of the securities
or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities
fail financially. However, loans are made only to borrowers deemed by the
appropriate Advisor to be of good standing and when, in the judgment of that
Advisor, the consideration which can be earned currently from such securities
loans justifies the attendant risk. Any loan may be terminated by either party
upon reasonable notice to the other party. The Funds may use the Distributor
or a broker-dealer affiliate of an Advisor as a broker in these transactions.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES
The Balanced Fund, Bond Funds, Tax-Exempt Bond Funds, International Equity Index
Fund, International Equity Fund, Value Income Stock Fund, and Emerging Markets
Equity Fund may invest in futures contracts and options on futures. Although
futures contracts by their terms call for actual delivery or acceptance of the
underlying securities, in most cases the contracts are closed out before the
settlement date without the making or taking of delivery. Closing out an open
futures position is done by taking an opposite position ("buying" a contract
which has previously been "sold" or "selling" a contract which has previously
been "purchased") in an identical contract to terminate the position. Brokerage
commissions are incurred when a futures contract is bought or sold.
Futures traders are required to make a good faith margin deposit in cash or
government securities with or for the account of a broker or custodian to
initiate and maintain open secondary market will exist for any particular
futures contract at any specific time. Thus, it may not be possible to close a
futures position. In the event of adverse price movements, a Fund would
continue to be required to make daily cash payments to maintain its required
margin. In such situations, if a Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to
sell portfolio securities to meet daily margin requirements at a time when it
may be disadvantageous to do so. In addition, the Funds may be required to make
delivery of the instruments underlying the futures contracts they hold. The
inability to close options and futures positions also could have an adverse
impact on the ability to effectively hedge the underlying securities.
The Funds will minimize the risk that they will be unable to close out a futures
contract by entering into futures contracts that are traded on national futures
exchanges and for which there appears to be a liquid secondary market.
The risk of loss in trading futures contracts can be substantial, due both to
the low margin deposits required and the extremely high degree of leverage
involved in futures pricing. As a result, a relatively small price movement in
a futures contract may result in immediate and substantial loss (or gain) to a
Fund. For example, if at the time of purchase, 10% of the value of the futures
contract is deposited as margin, a subsequent 10% decrease in the value of the
futures contract would result in a total loss of the margin deposit, before any
deduction for the
B-12
<PAGE>
transaction costs, if the account were then closed out. A 15% decrease would
result in a loss equal to 150% of the original margin deposit if the contract
were closed out. Thus, a purchase or sale of a futures contract may result in
losses in excess of the amount invested in the contract. However, because the
Funds will be engaged in futures transactions only for hedging purposes, the
Advisors do not believe that the Funds will generally be subject to the risks of
loss frequently associated with futures transactions. The Funds presumably
would have sustained comparable losses if, instead of the futures contract, they
had invested in the underlying financial instrument and sold it after the
decline. The risk of loss from the purchase of options is less as compared with
the purchase or sale of futures contracts because the maximum amount at risk is
the premium paid for the option.
Utilization of futures transactions by the Funds does involve the risk of
imperfect or no correlation where the securities underlying futures contracts
have different maturities than the fund securities being hedged. It is also
possible that the Funds could both lose money on futures contracts and
experience a decline in value of its fund securities. There is also the risk of
loss by the Funds of margin deposits in the event of the bankruptcy of a broker
with whom the Funds have an open position in a futures contract or related
option.
Most futures exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures
contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit establishes the
maximum amount that the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down
from the previous day's settlement price at the end of a trading session. Once
the daily limit has been reached in a particular type of contract, no trades may
be made on that day at a price beyond that limit. The daily limit governs only
price movement during a particular trading day and therefore does not limit
potential losses because the limit may prevent the liquidation of unfavorable
positions. Futures contract prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit
for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby
preventing prompt liquidation of future positions and subjecting some futures
traders to substantial losses.
OPTIONS
The Balanced Fund, Bond Funds, Tax-Exempt Bond Funds, International Equity Index
Fund, International Equity Fund, Value Income Stock Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund,
and Emerging Markets Equity Fund may write call options on a covered basis only,
and will not engage in option writing strategies for speculative purposes. A
call option gives the purchaser of such option the right to buy, and the writer,
in this case the Fund, the obligation to sell the underlying security at the
exercise price during the option period. The advantage to the Funds of writing
covered calls is that the Funds receive a premium which is additional income.
However, if the security rises in value, the Funds may not fully participate in
the market appreciation.
During the option period, a covered call option writer may be assigned an
exercise notice by the broker-dealer through whom such call option was sold
requiring the writer to deliver the underlying security against payment of the
exercise price. This obligation is terminated upon the expiration of the option
period or at such earlier time in which the writer effects a closing purchase
transaction. A closing purchase transaction is one in which the Fund, when
obligated as a writer of an option, terminates its obligation by purchasing an
option of the same series as the option previously written.
A closing purchase transaction cannot be effected with respect to an option once
the option writer has received an exercise notice for such option.
Closing purchase transactions will ordinarily be effected to realize a profit on
an outstanding call option, to prevent an underlying security from being called,
to permit the sale of the underlying security or to enable a Fund to write
another call option on the underlying security with either a different exercise
price or expiration
B-13
<PAGE>
date or both. A Fund may realize a net gain or loss from a closing purchase
transaction depending upon whether the net amount of the original premium
received on the call option is more or less than the cost of effecting the
closing purchase transaction. Any loss incurred in a closing purchase
transaction may be partially or entirely offset by the premium received from a
sale of a different call option on the same underlying security. Such a loss
may also be wholly or partially offset by unrealized appreciation in the market
value of the underlying security.
If a call option expires unexercised, a Fund will realize a short-term capital
gain in the amount of the premium on the option, less the commission paid. Such
a gain, however, may be offset by depreciation in the market value of the
underlying security during the option period. If a call option is exercised, a
Fund will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security equal
to the difference between the cost of the underlying security, and the proceeds
of the sale of the security plus the amount of the premium on the option, less
the commission paid.
The market value of a call option generally reflects the market price of an
underlying security. Other principal factors affecting market value include
supply and demand, interest rates, the price volatility of the underlying
security and the time remaining until the expiration date.
The Funds will write call options only on a covered basis, which means that a
Fund will own the underlying security subject to a call option at all times
during the option period. Unless a closing purchase transaction is effected, a
Fund would be required to continue to hold a security which it might otherwise
wish to sell, or deliver a security it would want to hold. Options written by
the Funds will normally have expiration dates between one and nine months from
the date written. The exercise price of a call option may be below, equal to or
above the current market value of the underlying security at the time the option
is written.
SWAPS/FLOORS/COLLARS
In a typical interest rate swap, one party agrees to make regular payments equal
to a floating interest rate times a "notional principal amount." This is done
in return for payments equal to a fixed rate times the same amount, for a
specific period of time. If a swap agreement provides for payment in different
currencies, the parties might agree to exchange the notional principal amount as
well. Swaps may also depend on other prices or rates, such as the value of an
index or mortgage prepayment rates.
In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only
under specified circumstances. This is usually in return for payment of a fee
by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the
right to receive payments to the extent that a specific interest rate exceeds an
agreed-upon level. Meanwhile, the seller of an interest rate floor is obligated
to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate falls below an
agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements of buying a cap
and selling a floor.
Swap agreements are subject to risks related to the counterparty's ability to
perform, and may decline in value if the counterparty's creditworthiness
deteriorates. The Fund may also suffer losses if it is unable to terminate
outstanding swap agreements or reduce its exposure through offsetting
transactions. Any obligation the Fund may have under these types of
arrangements will be covered by setting aside liquid high-grade securities in a
segregated account. The Fund will enter into swaps only with counterparties
believed to be creditworthy.
INVESTMENT COMPANY SHARES
Investment companies typically incur fees that are separate from those fees
incurred directly by the Fund. A Fund's purchase of such investment company
securities results in the layering of expenses, such that
B-14
<PAGE>
Shareholders would indirectly bear a proportionate share of the operating
expenses of such investment companies, including advisory fees.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES
The interest rates on these securities may be reset daily, weekly, quarterly, or
some other reset period, and may have a set floor or ceiling on interest rate
changes. There is a risk that the current interest rate on such obligations may
not accurately reflect existing market interest rates. A demand instrument with
a demand notice exceeding seven days may be considered illiquid if there is no
secondary market for such security.
OTHER INVESTMENTS
The Trust is not prohibited from investing in obligations of banks which are
clients of SEI Investments Company ("SEI Investments"), the parent company of
the Administrator and the Distributor. However, the purchase of shares of the
Funds by such banks or by their customers will not be a consideration in
determining which bank obligations the Funds will purchase. The Funds will not
purchase obligations issued by the Advisors.
Investors will receive written notification at least thirty days prior to any
change in a Fund's investment objective.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The following are fundamental policies of each Fund and cannot be changed with
respect to a Fund without the consent of the holders of a majority of that
Fund's outstanding shares.
A Fund may not:
1. Acquire more than 10% of the voting securities of any one issuer.
2. Invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control.
3. Borrow money except for temporary or emergency purposes and then only in an
amount not exceeding one-third of the value of total assets. Any borrowing
will be done from a bank and, to the extent that such borrowing exceeds 5%
of the value of the Fund's assets, asset coverage of at least 300% is
required. In the event that such asset coverage shall at any time fall
below 300%, the Fund shall, within three days thereafter or such longer
period as the Securities and Exchange Commission may prescribe by rules and
regulations, reduce the amount of its borrowings to such an extent that the
asset coverage of such borrowings shall be at least 300%. This borrowing
provision is included solely to facilitate the orderly sale of portfolio
securities to accommodate heavy redemption requests if they should occur
and is not for investment purposes. All borrowings in excess of 5% of the
value of a Fund's total assets will be repaid before making additional
investments and any interest paid on such borrowings will reduce income.
4. Make loans, except that (a) a Fund may purchase or hold debt instruments in
accordance with its investment objective and policies; (b) a Fund may enter
into repurchase agreements, and (c) the Bond Funds, Balanced Fund, U.S.
Government Securities Fund, Limited-Term Federal Mortgage Securities Fund,
International Equity Index Fund, International Equity Fund, Value Income
Stock Fund, Small Cap
B-15
<PAGE>
Equity Fund and Emerging Markets Equity Fund may engage in securities
lending as described in the Prospectuses and in this Statement of
Additional Information.
5. Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate assets except to secure temporary
borrowings permitted by (3) above in aggregate amounts not to exceed 10% of
the Fund's total assets, taken at current value at the time of the
incurrence of such loan, except as permitted with respect to securities
lending.
6. Purchase or sell real estate, real estate limited partnership interests,
commodities or commodities contracts (except for financial futures
contracts) and interests in a pool of securities that are secured by
interests in real estate (except that each Bond Fund may purchase
mortgage-backed and other mortgage- related securities, including
collateralized mortgage obligations and REMICs). However, subject to their
permitted investment spectrum, any Fund may invest in companies which
invest in real estate, commodities or commodities contracts.
7. Make short sales of securities, maintain a short position or purchase
securities on margin, except that the Trust may obtain short-term credits
as necessary for the clearance of security transactions.
8. Act as an underwriter of securities of other issuers except as it may be
deemed an underwriter in selling a security.
9. Purchase securities of other investment companies except for money market
funds and CMOs and REMICs deemed to be investment companies and then only
as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and the
rules and regulations thereunder, except that the Mid-Cap Equity, Sunbelt
Equity, Balanced, Georgia Tax-Exempt Bond, Florida Tax-Exempt Bond,
Tennessee Tax- Exempt Bond, U.S. Government Securities, Limited-Term
Federal Mortgage Securities, International Equity Index, International
Equity, Small Cap Equity and Emerging Market Equity Funds' purchases of
investment company shares are not limited to money market funds. Under
these rules and regulations, a Fund is prohibited from acquiring the
securities of other investment companies if, as a result of such
acquisition, the Fund owns more than 3% of the total voting stock of the
company; securities issued by any one investment company represent more
than 5% of the total assets of a Fund; or securities (other than treasury
stock) issued by all investment companies represent more than 10% of the
total assets of the Fund.
10. Issue senior securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) except in connection
with permitted borrowings as described above or as permitted by rule,
regulation or order of the SEC.
NON-FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES
No Fund may purchase or hold illiquid securities (I.E., securities that cannot
be disposed of for their approximate carrying value in seven days or less (which
term includes repurchase agreements and time deposits maturing in more than
seven days) if, in the aggregate, more than 15% of its net assets (10% for the
Prime Quality Money Market, U.S. Government Securities Money Market, and
Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds) would be invested in illiquid securities.
With the exception of the limitations on liquidity standards, the foregoing
percentages will apply at the time of the purchase of a security and shall not
be considered violated unless an excess occurs or exists immediately after and
as a result of a purchase of such security.

INVESTMENT ADVISORS
The Trust and STI Capital Management, N.A., Trusco Capital Management, Inc.,
SunTrust Bank, Atlanta and SunTrust Bank, Chattanooga, N.A. (the "Advisors")
have entered into advisory agreements with the Trust (the "Advisory
Agreements"). The Advisory Agreements provide that each Advisor shall not be
protected against any liability to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the
performance of its duties or from reckless disregard of its obligations or
duties thereunder.
Each Advisory Agreement provides that if, for any fiscal year, the ratio of
expenses of any Fund (including amounts payable to an Advisor but excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage, litigation, and other extraordinary expenses)
exceeds limitations established by certain states, the Advisor and/or the
Administrator will bear the amount of such excess. The Advisor will not be
required to bear expenses of the Trust to an extent which would result in a
Fund's inability to qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code.
The continuance of each Advisory Agreement, after the first two years, must be
specifically approved at least annually (i) by the vote of the Trustees, and
(ii) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to each
Agreement or "interested persons" of any party thereto, cast in person at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Each Advisory
Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, and is
terminable at any time without penalty by the Trustees of the Trust or, with
respect to the Funds, by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Funds, on
not less than 30 days' nor more than 60 days' written notice to the Advisor, or
by the Advisor on 90 days' written notice to the Trust.
For the fiscal years ended May 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, the Funds paid the
following advisory fees:

BANKING LAWS
Current interpretations of federal banking laws and regulations:
- - prohibit SunTrust and the Advisors from sponsoring, organizing,
controlling, or distributing the Funds' shares;
- - but, do not prohibit SunTrust or the Advisors generally from acting as an
investment advisor, transfer agent, or custodian to the Funds or from
purchasing Fund shares as agent for and upon the order of a customer.
The Advisors believe that they may perform advisory and related services for STI
Classic Funds without violating applicable banking laws or regulations.
However, the legal requirements and interpretations about the permissible
activities of banks and their affiliates may change in the future. These
changes could prevent the
B-18
<PAGE>
Advisors from continuing to perform services for STI Classic Funds. If this
happens, the Board of Trustees would consider selecting other qualified firms.
Shareholders would approve any new investment advisory agreements would be
subject to Shareholder approval.
If current restrictions on bank activities with mutual funds were relaxed, the
Advisors, or their affiliates, would consider performing additional services for
STI Classic Funds. We cannot predict whether these changes will be enacted. We
also cannot predict the terms that the Advisors, or their affiliates, might
offer to provide additional services.
THE ADMINISTRATOR
The Trust and SEI Fund Resources (the "Administrator") are parties to an
Administrative Agreement. The Administration Agreement provides that the
Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or
for any loss suffered by the Trust in connection with the matters to which the
Administration Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Administrator in
the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by it of its duties and
obligations thereunder. The Administration Agreement shall remain in effect for
a period of five years after the date of the Agreement and shall continue in
effect for successive periods of two years subject to review at least annually
by the Trustees of the Trust unless terminated by either party on not less than
ninety days' written notice to the other party.
The Administrator, a Delaware business trust, has its principal business offices
at Oaks, Pennsylvania 19456. SEI Investments Management Corporation ("SIMC"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company ("SEI Investments"), is the
owner of all beneficial interest in the Administrator. SEI Investments and its
subsidiaries and affiliates, including the Administrator, are leading providers
of funds evaluation services, trust accounting systems, and brokerage and
information services to financial institutions, institutional investors, and
money managers. The Administrator and its affiliates also serve as
administrator to the following other mutual funds: The Achievement Funds Trust,
The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund, The Arbor Fund, ARK Funds, Bishop Street Funds,

the average daily net assets of the Capital Growth Fund; .33% of the average
daily net assets of the Value Income Stock Fund; .43% of the average daily net
assets of the Mid-Cap Equity Fund; .43% of the average daily net assets of the

average daily net assets of the International Equity Fund; and .23% of the
average daily net assets of the Limited-Term Federal Mortgage Securities Fund.
The Distribution Agreement and the Flex Plan adopted by the Trust provide that
each Flex Shares Fund will pay the Distributor a fee of up to .75% of the
average daily net assets of that Fund. The Distributor can use these fees to
compensate broker-dealers and service providers, including SunTrust and its
affiliates, which provide administrative and/or distribution services to
Investor Shares or Flex Shares Shareholders or their customers who beneficially
own Investor Shares or Flex Shares. In addition, Flex Shares are subject to a
service fee of up to .25% of the average daily net assets of the Flex Shares of
each Fund. This service fee will be used for services provided and expenses
incurred in maintaining shareholder accounts, responding to shareholder
inquiries and providing information on their investments.
Services for which broker-dealers and service providers may be compensated
include establishing and maintaining customer accounts and records; aggregating
and processing purchase and redemption requests from customers; placing net
purchase and redemption orders with the Distributor; automatically investing
customer account cash balances; providing periodic statements to customers;
arranging for wires; answering customer inquiries concerning their investments;
assisting customers in changing dividend options, account designations, and
addresses; performing sub-accounting functions; processing dividend payments
from the Trust on behalf of customers; and forwarding Shareholder communications
from the Trust (such as proxies, Shareholder reports, and dividend distribution
and tax notices) to these customers with respect to investments in the Trust.
Certain state securities laws may require those financial institutions providing
such distribution services to register as dealers pursuant to state law.
Although banking laws and regulations prohibit banks from distributing shares of
open-end investment companies such as the Trust, according to an opinion issued
to the staff of the SEC by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency,
financial institutions are not prohibited from acting in other capacities for
investment companies, such as providing shareholder services. Should future
legislative, judicial or administrative action prohibit or restrict the
activities of financial institutions in connection with providing shareholder
services, the Trust may be required to alter materially or discontinue its
arrangements with such financial institutions.
The Trust has adopted the Investor Plan and the Flex Plan in each case in
accordance with the provisions of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which Rule
regulates circumstances under which an investment company may directly or
indirectly bear expenses relating to the distribution of its shares.
Continuance of the Investor Plan and the Flex Plan must be approved annually by
a majority of the Trustees of the Trust and by a majority of the Qualified
Trustees. The Investor Plan and the Flex Plan require that quarterly written
reports of amounts spent under the Investor Plan and the Flex Plan,
respectively, and the purposes of such expenditures be furnished to and reviewed
by the Trustees. The Investor Plan and the Flex Plan may not be amended to
increase materially the amount which may be spent thereunder without approval by
a majority of the outstanding shares of the affected class of shares of the
Trust. All material amendments of the Plans will require approval by a majority
of the Trustees of the Trust and of the Qualified Trustees.
B-23
<PAGE>
There is no sales charge on purchases of Flex Shares, but Flex Shares are
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge if they are redeemed within one
year of purchase. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement and the Flex Plan,
Flex Shares are subject to an ongoing distribution and service fee calculated on
each of the Bond Funds', State Tax-Exempt Bond Funds', Equity Funds' and
Balanced Fund's aggregate average daily net assets attributable to its Flex
Shares.
For the fiscal years ended May 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, the Funds paid the

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
From time to time a Fund may advertise its performance. Performance figures are
based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future
performance.
CLASSES OF SHARES AND PERFORMANCE
The performance of the Trust's Investor Shares and Flex Shares will normally be
lower than for Trust Shares because Investor Shares and Flex Shares are subject
to distribution, service, and certain transfer agent fees not charged to Trust
Shares. Because of their differing distribution expense arrangements, the
performance of Flex Shares in comparison to Investor Shares will vary depending
upon the investor's investment time horizon.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS
Each Fund may periodically compare its performance to other mutual funds tracked
by mutual fund rating services, to broad groups of comparable mutual funds, or
to unmanaged indices. These comparisons may assume reinvestment of dividends
but generally do not reflect deductions for administrative and management costs.
B-28
<PAGE>
COMPUTATION OF YIELD
The current yield of the Money Market Funds will be calculated daily based upon
the seven days ending on the date of calculation ("base period"). The yield is
computed by determining the net change (exclusive of capital changes) in the
value of a hypothetical pre-existing shareholder account having a balance of one
share at the beginning of the period, subtracting a hypothetical charge
reflecting deductions from shareholder accounts, and dividing such net change by
the value of the account at the beginning of the same period to obtain the base
period return and multiplying the result by (365/7). Realized and unrealized
gains and losses are not included in the calculation of the yield. The
effective compound yield of the Funds is determined by computing the net change,
exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing
account having a balance of one share at the beginning of the period,
subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from shareholder
accounts, and dividing the difference by the value of the account at the
beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return, and then
compounding the base period return by adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal
to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting 1 from the result, according to the
following formula: Effective Yield = [Base Period Return + 1) 365/7] - 1. The
current and the effective yields reflect the reinvestment of net income earned
daily on portfolio assets.
For the 7-day period ended May 31, 1997 the Money Market Funds' current
effective and tax-equivalent yields were as follows:

is not a representation by the Trust as to what an investment in the Fund will
actually yield in the future. Actual yields will depend on such variables as
asset quality, average asset maturity, the type of instruments a Fund invests
in, changes in interest rates on money market instruments, changes in the
expenses of the Fund and other factors.
Yields are one basis upon which investors may compare the Funds with other money
market funds; however, yields of other money market funds and other investment
vehicles may not be comparable because of the factors set forth above and
differences in the methods used in valuing portfolio instruments.
The Tax-Exempt Money Market and Tax-Exempt Bond Fund's "tax equivalent yield" is
calculated by determining the rate of return that would have to be achieved on a
fully taxable investment to produce the after-tax equivalent of the Fund's
yield, assuming certain tax brackets for a Shareholder. Tax-exempt yield is
B-29
<PAGE>
calculated according to the same formula except that a = interest exempt from
federal income tax earned during the period. This tax-exempt yield is then
translated into tax-equivalent yield according to the following formula:
TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD = ( E ) + t
1-P
E = tax-exempt yield
p = stated income tax rate
t = taxable yield
Tax equivalent yields assume the payment of federal income taxes at a rate of
39.6% and, for the Georgia Tax- Exempt Bond Fund, Georgia income taxes at a rate
of 6.0% and, for the Tennessee Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Tennessee income taxes at a
rate of 6.0%.
For the 30-day period ended May 31, 1997, the tax-equivalent yields for the
Trust Shares were as follows: for the Investment Grade Tax-Exempt Bond Fund -
6.62%, Georgia Tax-Exempt Bond Fund - 8.14%, Florida Tax- Exempt Bond Fund -
8.00%, and Tennessee Tax-Exempt Bond Fund - 8.24%.
For the 30-day period ended May 31, 1997, the tax-equivalent yields for the
Investor Shares of the Tax-Exempt Funds were as follows: for the Investment
Grade Tax-Exempt Bond Fund - 5.75%, Georgia Tax-Exempt Bond Fund -7.50%, Florida
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund - 7.32% and Tennessee Tax-Exempt Bond Fund - 7.54%.
For the 30-day period ended May 31, 1997, the tax-equivalent yields for the Flex
Shares of the Tax-Exempt Funds were as follows: for the Investment Grade
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund - 5.15%, Georgia Tax-Exempt Bond Fund - 6.91%, Florida
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund - 6.73% and Tennessee Tax-Exempt Bond Fund - 6.91%.
The Bond, Short-Term U.S. Treasury, Tax-Exempt Bond and Equity Funds may
advertise a 30-day yield. In particular, yield will be calculated according to
the following formula:
6
Yield = (2 (a-b/cd + 1) - 1) where a = dividends and interest earned during the
period; b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursement); c = the
current daily number of shares outstanding during the period that were entitled
to receive dividends; and d = the maximum offering price per share on the last
day of the period.
For the 30-day period ended May 31, 1997, yields on the Funds other than the
Money Market Funds were as follows:

CALCULATION OF TOTAL RETURN
From time to time, the Bond, Short-Term U.S. Treasury, Tax-Exempt Bond, Balanced
and Equity Funds may advertise total return. In particular, total return will
be calculated according to the following formula: P (1 + T)n = ERV, where P =
a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000; T = average annual total return; n =
number of years; and ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000
payment made at the beginning of the designated time period as of the end of
such period.
From time to time, the Trust may include the names of clients of the Advisors in
advertisements and/or sales literature for the Trust. The SEI Funds Evaluation
database tracks the total return of numerous tax-exempt pension accounts. The
range of returns in these accounts determines the percentile rankings. SunTrust
Bank's investment advisory affiliates, STI Capital Management, N.A. and Trusco
Capital Management, have been in the
B-32
<PAGE>
top 1% of the SEI Funds Evaluation database for equity managers over the past
ten years. SEI Investment's database includes research data on over 1,000
investment managers responsible for over $450 billion in assets.
Based on the foregoing, the average annual total returns for the Funds from
inception through May 31, 1997 and for the one year period ended May 31, 1997
were as follows:

PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Purchases and redemptions of shares of the Funds may be made on any day the New
York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business. Currently, the NYSE is
closed on the days the following holidays are observed: New Year's Day, Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence
Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
It is currently the Trust's policy to pay for all redemptions in cash. The
Trust retains the right, however, to alter this policy to provide for
redemptions in whole or in part by a distribution in-kind of readily marketable
securities held by the Funds in lieu of cash. Shareholders may incur brokerage
charges on the sale of any such securities so received in payment of
redemptions. A Shareholder will at all times be entitled to aggregate cash
redemptions from all Funds of the Trust during any 90-day period of up to the
lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the Trust's net assets.
The Trust reserves the right to suspend the right of redemption and/or to
postpone the date of payment upon redemption for any period on which trading on
the NYSE is restricted, or during the existence of an emergency (as determined
by the Securities and Exchange Commission by rule or regulation) as a result of
disposal or valuation of a Fund's securities is not reasonably practicable, or
for such other periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission has by order
permitted. The Trust also reserves the right to suspend sales of shares of a
Fund for any period during which the NYSE, an Advisor, the Administrator and/or,
the Custodian are not open for business.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
The net asset value per share of the Money Market Funds is calculated daily by
the Administrator by adding the value of securities and other assets,
subtracting liabilities and dividing by the number of outstanding shares.
Securities will be valued by the amortized cost method which involves valuing a
security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter (absent unusual
circumstances) assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuations in general market rates of
interest on the value of the instrument. While this method provides certainty
in valuation, it may result in periods during which a security's value, as
determined by this method, is higher or lower than the price a Fund would
receive if it sold the instrument. During periods of declining interest rates,
the daily yield of a Fund may tend to be higher than a like computation made by
a company with identical investments utilizing a method of valuation based upon
market prices and estimates of market prices for all of its portfolio
securities. Thus, if the use of amortized cost by a Fund resulted in a lower
aggregate portfolio value on a particular day, a prospective investor in a Fund
would be able to obtain a somewhat higher yield than would result from
investment in a company utilizing solely market values, and existing investors
in a Fund would experience a lower yield. The converse would apply in a period
of rising interest rates.
A Fund's use of amortized cost and the maintenance of a Fund's net asset value
at $1.00 are permitted by regulations promulgated by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940
Act, provided that certain conditions are met. The regulations also require the
Trustees to establish procedures which are reasonably designed to stabilize the
net asset value per share at $1.00 for the Funds. Such procedures include the
determination of the extent of deviation, if any, of the Funds current net asset
value per share calculated using available market quotations from the Funds
amortized cost price per share at such intervals as the Trustees deem
appropriate and reasonable in light of market conditions and periodic reviews of
the amount of the deviation and the methods used to calculate such deviation.
In the event that such deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the Trustees are required
to consider promptly
B-37
<PAGE>
what action, if any, should be initiated, and, if the Trustees believe that the
extent of any deviation may result in material dilution or other unfair results
to Shareholders, the Trustees are required to take such corrective action as
they deem appropriate to eliminate or reduce such dilution or unfair results to
the extent reasonably practicable. Such actions may include the sale of
portfolio instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to
shorten average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends; redeeming shares in
kind; or establishing a net asset value per share by using available market
quotations. In addition, if the Funds incur a significant loss or liability,
the Trustees have the authority to reduce pro rata the number of shares of the
Funds in each Shareholder's account and to offset each Shareholder's pro rata
portion of such loss or liability from the Shareholder's accrued but unpaid
dividends or from future dividends while each other Fund must annually
distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income.
The securities of the Bond, Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities and Equity Funds
are valued by the Administrator pursuant to valuations provided by an
independent pricing service. The pricing service relies primarily on prices of
actual market transactions as well as trader quotations. However, the service
may also use a matrix system to determine valuations of fixed income securities,
which system considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, call
features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities in arriving
at valuations. The procedures of the pricing service and its valuations are
reviewed by the officers of the Trust under the general supervision of the
Trustees.
Although the methodology and procedures are identical, the net asset value per
share of Trust Shares, Flex Shares and Investor Shares of the Bond, Short-Term
U.S. Treasury Securities and Equity Funds may differ because of variations in
the distribution and service fees and transfer agent fees charged to Investor
Shares.
TAXES
The following is a summary of certain Federal income tax considerations
generally affecting the Funds and their shareholders that are not described in
the Funds' prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of
the Federal tax treatment of the funds or their Shareholders, and the discussion
here and in the Funds' prospectus is not intended as a substitute for careful
tax planning.
This discussion of Federal income tax consequences is based on the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations issued
thereunder, in effect on the date of this Statement of Additional Information.
New legislation, as well as administrative changes or court decisions, may
change the conclusions expressed herein, and may have a retroactive effect with
respect to the transactions contemplated herein.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX
In order to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company ("RIC")
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), each Fund must
distribute annually to its Shareholders at least the sum of 90% of its net
investment income excludable from gross income plus 90% of its investment
company taxable income (generally, net investment income plus net short-term
capital gain) ("Distribution Requirement") and also must meet several additional
requirements. Among these requirements are the following: (i) at least 90% of
a Fund's gross income each taxable year must be derived from dividends,
interest, payments with respect to securities loans, and gains from the sale or
other disposition of stock or securities, or certain other income; (ii) a Fund
must derive less than 30% of its gross income each taxable year from the sale or
other disposition of stocks or securities held for less than three months; (iii)
at the close of each quarter of a Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the value
of its total assets must be represented by cash and cash items, U.S. Government
securities, securities
B-38
<PAGE>
of other RIC's and other securities, with such other securities limited, in
respect of any one issuer, to an amount that does not exceed 5% of the value of
a Fund's assets and that does not represent more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of such issuer; and (iv) at the close of each quarter of a
Fund's taxable year, not more than 25% of the value of its assets may be
invested in securities (other than U.S. Government securities or the securities
of other RIC's) of any one issuer, or of two or more issuers engaged in same or
similar businesses if the Fund owns at least 20% of the voting power of such
issuers. Requirement (ii) no longer applies for tax years beginning after
August 5, 1997.
Notwithstanding the Distribution Requirement described above, which only
requires a Fund to distribute at least 90% of its annual investment company
taxable income and does not require any minimum distribution of net capital
gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital
loss), a Fund will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax to the extent it
fails to distribute by the end of any calendar year 98% of its ordinary income
for that year and 98% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period
ending on October 31 of that calendar year, plus certain other amounts. Each
Fund intends to make sufficient distributions prior to the end of each calendar
year to avoid liability for the federal excise tax applicable to regulated
investment companies.
If, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, at least 50% of the value
of a Fund's total assets consists of obligations the interest on which is
excludable from gross income, a Fund may pay "exempt-interest dividends," as
defined in Section 852(b)(5) of the Code, to its shareholders.
As noted in the Prospectus, the Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, the Investment
Grade Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, and the State Tax-Exempt Bond Funds intend to pay
exempt-interest dividends. Exempt-interest dividends are excludable from a
Shareholder's gross income for regular Federal income tax purposes, but may
nevertheless be subject to the alternative minimum tax (the "Alternative Minimum
Tax") imposed by Section 55 of the Code or the environmental tax (the
"Environmental Tax") imposed by Section 59A of the Code. The Alternative
Minimum Tax is imposed at the rate of 26% (with a maximum rate of 28%) in the
case of non-corporate taxpayers and at the rate of 20% in the case of corporate
taxpayers, to the extent it exceeds the taxpayer's regular tax liability. The
Environmental Tax is imposed at the rate of 0.12% and applies only to corporate
taxpayers. The Alternative Minimum Tax and the Environmental Tax may be imposed
in two circumstances. First, exempt-interest dividends derived from certain
"private activity bonds" issued after August 7, 1986, will generally be an item
of tax preference and therefore potentially subject to the Alternative Minimum
Tax for both corporate and non-corporate taxpayers and the Environmental Tax for
corporate taxpayers only. Second, in the case of exempt-interest dividends
received by corporate Shareholders, all exempt-interest dividends, regardless of
when the bonds from which they are derived were issued or whether they are
derived from private activity bonds, will be included in the corporation's
"adjusted current earnings," as defined in Section 56(g) of the Code, in
calculating the corporation's alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of
determining the Alternative Minimum Tax and the Environmental Tax. For tax
years beginning after December 31, 1997, the Alternative Minimum Tax is repealed
for certain corporations.
Distributions of exempt-interest dividends may result in additional Federal
income tax consequences to shareholders in Tax-Exempt Funds. For example,
interest on indebtedness incurred by Shareholders to purchase or carry shares of
a Tax-Exempt Fund will not be deductible for Federal income tax purposes to the
extent that the Fund distributes exempt interest dividends during the taxable
year. The deduction otherwise allowable to property and casualty insurance
companies for "losses incurred" will be reduced by an amount equal to a portion
of exempt-interest dividends received or accrued during any taxable year.
Certain foreign corporations engaged in a trade or business in the United States
will be subject to a "branch profits tax" on their "dividend equivalent
B-39
<PAGE>
amount" for the taxable year, which will include exempt-interest dividends.
Certain Subchapter S corporations may also be subject to taxes on their "passive
investment income," which could include exempt-interest dividends. Up to 85% of
the Social Security benefits or railroad retirement benefits received by an
individual during any taxable year will be included in the gross income of such
individual if the individual's "modified adjusted gross income" (which includes
exempt-interest dividends) plus one-half of the Social Security benefits or
railroad retirement benefits received by such individual during that taxable
year exceeds the base amount described in Section 86 of the Code.
A Tax-Exempt Fund may not be an appropriate investment for persons (including
corporations and other business entities) who are "substantial users" (or
persons related to such users) of facilities financed by industrial development
or private activity bonds. A "substantial user" is defined generally to include
certain persons who regularly use in a trade or business a facility financed
from the proceeds of industrial development bonds or private activity bonds.
Such entities or persons should consult their tax advisors before purchasing
shares of a Tax-Exempt Fund.
Issuers of bonds purchased by a Tax-Exempt Fund (or the beneficiary of such
bonds) may have made certain representations or covenants in connection with the
issuance of such bonds to satisfy certain requirements of the Code that must be
satisfied subsequent to the issuance of such bonds. Investors should be aware
that exempt-interest dividends derived from such bonds may become subject to
Federal income taxation retroactively to the date of issuance of the bonds to
which such dividends are attributable thereof if such representations are
determined to have been inaccurate or if the issuer of such bonds (or the
beneficiary of such bonds) fails to comply with such covenants.
Any gain or loss recognized on a sale or redemption of shares of a Fund by a
Shareholder who is not a dealer in securities will generally be treated as long-
term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than eighteen
months, mid-term if the shares have been held for over one year but not for over
eighteen months, and short-term if for a year or less. If shares held for six
months or less are sold or redeemed for a loss, two special rules apply: First,
if shares on which a net capital gain distribution has been received are
subsequently sold or redeemed, and such shares have been held for six months or
less, any loss recognized will be treated as long-term capital loss to the
extent of the long-term capital gain distributions. Second, any loss recognized
by a Shareholder upon the sale or redemption of shares of a Tax-Exempt Fund held
for six months or less will be disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest
dividends received by the Shareholder with respect to such shares.
The Funds will make annual reports to Shareholders of the Federal income tax
status of all distributions.
FOREIGN TAXES
Dividends and interests received by a Fund may be subject to income, withholding
or other taxes imposed by foreign countries and U.S. possessions that would
reduce the yield on the Fund's stock or securities. Tax conventions between
certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate these taxes.
Foreign countries generally do not impose taxes on capital gains with respect to
investments by foreign investors.
If any of the International Equity Index, International Equity, and Emerging
Markets Equity Funds meets the Distribution Requirement, and if more than 50% of
the value of such Fund's total assets at the close of its taxable year consists
of stock or securities of foreign corporations, such Fund will be eligible to,
and will, file an election with the Internal Revenue Service that will enable
Shareholders, in effect, to receive the benefit of the foreign tax
B-40
<PAGE>
credit with respect to any foreign and U.S. possessions income taxes paid by the
Fund. Pursuant to the election, each Fund will treat those taxes as dividends
paid to its Shareholders. Each Shareholder will be required to include a
proportionate share of those taxes in gross income as income received from a
foreign source and must treat the amount so included as if the Shareholder had
paid the foreign tax directly. The Shareholder may then either deduct the taxes
deemed paid by him or her in computing his or her taxable income or,
alternatively, use the foregoing information in calculating the foreign tax
credit against the Shareholders' Federal income tax. In no event shall a
Shareholder be allowed a foreign tax credit with respect to shares in a Fund if
such shares are held by the Shareholder for 15 days or less during the 30-day
period beginning on the date which is 15 days before the date on which such
shares become ex-dividend with respect to such dividend. If any of the three
above-mentioned Funds make the election, such Fund will report annually to its
Shareholders the respective amounts per share of the Fund's income from sources
within, and taxes paid to, foreign countries and U.S. possessions.
The International Equity Index, International Equity, and Emerging Markets
Equity Funds' transactions in foreign currencies and forward foreign currency
contracts will be subject to special provisions of the Code that, among other
things, may affect the character of gains and losses realized by Funds (I.E.,
may effect whether gains or losses are ordinary or capital), accelerate
recognition of income to the fund and defer Fund losses. These rules could
therefore affect the character, amount and timing of distributions to
Shareholders. These provisions also may require the Funds to mark-to-market
certain types of the positions in its portfolio (I.E., treat them as if they
were closed out) which may cause the Funds to recognize income without receiving
cash with which to make distributions in amounts necessary to satisfy the 90%
and 98% distribution requirements for avoiding income and excise taxes. Each
Fund will monitor its transactions, will make the appropriate tax elections, and
will make the appropriate entries in the books and records when it acquires any
foreign currency or forward foreign currency contract in order to mitigate the
effect of these rules and prevent disqualification of the Fund as a RIC and
minimize the imposition of income and excise taxes.
FUND TRANSACTIONS
The Trust has no obligation to deal with any dealer or group of dealers in the
execution of transactions in portfolio securities. Subject to policies
established by the Trustees, an Advisor is responsible for placing the orders
to execute transactions for a Fund. In placing orders, it is the policy of the
Trust to seek to obtain the best net results taking into account such factors as
price (including the applicable dealer spread), the size, type and difficulty of
the transaction involved, the firm's general execution and operational
facilities, and the firm's risk in positioning the securities involved. While
an Advisor generally seeks reasonably competitive spreads or commissions, the
Trust will not necessarily be paying the lowest spread or commission available.
The money market securities in which the Funds invest are traded primarily in
the over-the-counter market. Bonds and debentures are usually traded
over-the-counter, but may be traded on an exchange. Where possible, an Advisor
will deal directly with the dealers who make a market in the securities involved
except in those circumstances where better prices and execution are available
elsewhere. Such dealers usually are acting as principal for their own account.
On occasion, securities may be purchased directly from the issuer. Money market
securities are generally traded on a net basis and do not normally involve
either brokerage commissions or transfer taxes. The cost of executing portfolio
securities transactions of the Trust will primarily consist of dealer spreads
and underwriting commissions.
B-41
<PAGE>
TRADING PRACTICES AND BROKERAGE
The Trust selects brokers or dealers to execute transactions for the purchase or
sale of portfolio securities on the basis of its judgment of their professional
capability to provide the service. The primary consideration is to have brokers
or dealers provide transactions at best price and execution for the Trust. Best
price and execution includes many factors, including the price paid or received
for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of
execution, the confidentiality and placement accorded the order and other
factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the account on the
transaction. The Trust's determination of what are reasonably competitive rates
is based upon the professional knowledge of its trading department as to rates
paid and charged for similar transactions throughout the securities industry.
In some instances, the Trust pays a minimal share transaction cost when the
transaction presents no difficulty. Some trades are made on a net basis where
the Trust either buys securities directly from the dealer or sells them to the
dealer. In these instances, there is no direct commission charged but there is
a spread (the difference between the buy and sell price) which is the equivalent
of a commission.
The Trust may allocate out of all commission business generated by all of the
funds and accounts under management by an Advisor, brokerage business to brokers
or dealers who provide brokerage and research services. These research services
include advice, either directly or through publications or writings, as to the
value of securities, the advisability of investing in, purchasing or selling
securities, and the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of
securities; furnishing of analyses and reports concerning issuers, securities or
industries; providing information on economic factors and trends, assisting in
determining portfolio strategy, providing computer software used in security
analyses, and providing portfolio performance evaluation and technical market
analyses. Such services are used by an Advisor in connection with its
investment decision-making process with respect to one or more funds and
accounts managed by it, and may not be used exclusively with respect to the fund
or account generating the brokerage.
As provided in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") higher
commissions may be paid to broker- dealers who provide brokerage and research
services than to broker-dealers who do not provide such services if such higher
commissions are deemed reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided. Although transactions are directed to broker-
dealers who provide such brokerage and research services, the Trust believes
that the commissions paid to such broker-dealers are not, in general, higher
than commissions that would be paid to broker-dealers not providing such
services and that such commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of
the brokerage and research services provided. In addition, portfolio
transactions which generate commissions or their equivalent are directed to
broker-dealers who provide daily portfolio pricing services to the Trust.
Subject to best price and execution, commissions used for pricing may or may not
be generated by the funds receiving the pricing service.
An Advisor may place a combined order for two or more accounts or funds engaged
in the purchase or sale of the same security if, in its judgment, joint
execution is in the best interest of each participant and will result in best
price and execution. Transactions involving commingled orders are allocated in
a manner deemed equitable to each account or fund. It is believed that the
ability of the accounts to participate in volume transactions will generally be
beneficial to the accounts and funds. Although it is recognized that, in some
cases, the joint execution of orders could adversely affect the price or volume
of the security that a particular account or Fund may obtain, it is the opinion
of each Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees that the advantages of
combined orders outweigh the possible disadvantages of separate transactions.
B-42
<PAGE>
Consistent with the Conduct Rules of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., and subject to seeking best price and execution, the Funds,
at the request of the Distributor, give consideration to sales of shares
of the Trust as a factor in the selection of brokers and dealers to execute
Trust portfolio transactions.
It is expected that the Trust may execute brokerage or other agency
transactions through the Distributor or an affiliate of an Advisor, both of
which are registered broker-dealers, for a commission in conformity with
the 1940 Act, the 1934 Act and rules promulgated by the SEC. Under these
provisions, the Distributor or an affiliate of an Advisor is permitted to
receive and retain compensation for effecting portfolio transactions for
the Trust on an exchange if a written contract is in effect between the
Distributor and the Trust expressly permitting the Distributor or an
affiliate of an Advisor to receive and retain such compensation. These
rules further require that commissions paid to the Distributor by the Trust
for exchange transactions not exceed "usual and customary" brokerage
commissions. The rules define "usual and customary" commissions to include
amounts which are "reasonable and fair compared to the commission, fee or
other renumeration received or to be received by other brokers in
connection with comparable transactions involving similar securities being
purchased or sold on a securities exchange during a comparable period of
time." In addition, the Trust may direct commission business to one or
more designated broker-dealers in connection with such broker/dealer's
provision of services to the Trust or payment of certain Trust expenses
(e.g., custody, pricing and professional fees). The Trustees, including
those who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, have adopted
procedures for evaluating the reasonableness of commissions paid to the
Distributor, and will review these procedures periodically.
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1997, the Funds paid the following brokerage
commissions with respect to portfolio transactions:

DESCRIPTION OF SHARES
The Declaration of Trust authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of
shares and classes of shares of the Funds each of which represents an equal
proportionate interest in that Fund with each other share. Shares are entitled
upon liquidation to a PRO RATA share in the net assets of the Funds.
Shareholders have no preemptive rights. The Declaration of Trust provides that
the Trustees of the Trust may create additional series of shares or classes of
series. All consideration received by the Trust for shares of any additional
series and all assets in which such consideration is invested would belong to
that series and would be subject to the liabilities related thereto. Share
certificates representing shares will not be issued.
SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY
The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts business
trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust could, under
certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for the obligations
of the trust. Even if, however, the Trust were held to be a partnership, the
possibility of the Shareholders' incurring financial loss for that reason
appears remote because the Trust's Declaration of Trust contains an express
disclaimer of Shareholder liability for obligations of the Trust and requires
that notice of such disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation or
instrument entered into or executed by or on behalf of the Trust or the
Trustees, and because the Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out
of the Trust property for any Shareholder held personally liable for the
obligations of the Trust.
B-47
<PAGE>
LIMITATION OF TRUSTEES' LIABILITY
The Declaration of Trust provides that a Trustee shall be liable only for his
own willful defaults and, if reasonable care has been exercised in the selection
of officers, agents, employees or investment advisors, shall not be liable for
any neglect or wrongdoing of any such person. The Declaration of Trust also
provides that the Trust will indemnify its Trustees and officers against
liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with actual or threatened
litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with the
Trust unless it is determined in the manner provided in the Declaration of Trust
that they have not acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that their
actions were in the best interests of the Trust. However, nothing in the
Declaration of Trust shall protect or indemnify a Trustee against any liability
for his willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of his duties.
5% AND 25% SHAREHOLDERS
As of September 2, 1997, the following persons were the only persons who were
record owners (or to the knowledge of the Trust, beneficial owners) of 5% and
25% or more of the shares of the Funds. Persons who owned of record or
beneficially more than 25% of a Fund's outstanding shares may be deemed to
control the Fund within the meaning of the Act. The Trust believes that most of
the shares of the Trust Class of the Funds were held for the record owner's
fiduciary, agency or custodial customers.

Classic Funds (the "Trust") as of May 31, 1997, and the related statements of
operations, changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the periods
presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May
31, 1997, by correspondence with the custodian and the application of
alternative auditing procedures with respect to unsettled securities
transactions. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Value Income Stock, Mid-Cap Equity, Small Cap Equity, Capital Growth, Balanced,
Emerging Markets Equity, International Equity Index, International Equity,
Sunbelt Equity, Investment Grade Tax-Exempt Bond, Florida Tax-Exempt Bond,
Tennessee Tax-Exempt Bond, Georgia Tax-Exempt Bond, Investment Grade Bond,
Short-Term Bond, Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities, Limited-Term Federal
Mortgage Securities, U.S. Government Securities, Prime Quality Money Market,
U.S. Government Securities Money Market, and Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds of
STI Classic Funds as of May 31, 1997, the results of their operations, changes
in their net assets, and financial highlights for the periods presented, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

STI CLASSIC FUNDS MAY 31, 1997
1. Organization:
The STI Classic Funds (the "Trust") was organized as a Massachusetts Business
Trust under a Declaration of Trust dated January 15, 1992. The Trust is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
management investment company with twenty-three portfolios: the Value Income
Stock Fund, the Mid-Cap Equity Fund, the Small Cap Equity Fund, the Capital
Growth Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Emerging Markets Equity Fund, the
International Equity Index Fund, the International Equity Fund, the Sunbelt
Equity Fund, the Investment Grade Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the Florida Tax-Exempt
Bond Fund, the Tennessee Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the Georgia Tax-Exempt Bond Fund,
the Investment Grade Bond Fund, the Short-Term Bond Fund, the Short-Term U.S.
Treasury Securities Fund, the Limited-Term Federal Mortgage Securities Fund, and
the U.S. Government Securities Fund, (collectively the "Non-Dollar Funds"), the
Prime Quality Money Market Fund, the U.S. Government Securities Money Market
Fund, the Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, the Classic Institutional Cash
Management Money Market Fund and the Classic Institutional U.S. Treasury
Securities Money Market Fund, (collectively the "Money Market Funds"). The
assets of each portfolio are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited
to the Fund in which shares are held. Each Fund's prospectus provides a
description of the Fund's investment objectives, policies and strategies.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Trust.
SECURITY VALUATION--Investment securities held by the Money Market Funds are
stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Investment securities held by the Non-Dollar Funds that are listed on a
securities exchange for which market quotations are available are valued at
the last quoted sales price each business day. If there is no such reported
sale, these securities and unlisted securities for which market quotations
are readily available are valued at the most recently quoted bid price.
Foreign securities in the Emerging Markets Equity Fund, the International
Equity Fund and the International Equity Index Fund are valued based upon
quotations from the primary market in which they are traded. Debt
obligations with sixty days or less remaining until maturity may be valued
at their amortized cost.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--It is each Fund's intention to qualify as a regulated
investment company for Federal income tax purposes and distribute all of its
taxable income and net capital gains. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal
income taxes are required.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Security transactions are
accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date).
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is
recognized on an accrual basis. Costs used in determining net realized gains
and losses on the sales of investment securities are those of the specific
securities sold adjusted for the accretion and amortization of purchase
discounts and premiums during the respective holding period. Purchase
discounts and premiums on securities held by the Money Market Funds are
accreted and amortized ratably to maturity and are included in interest
income. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities held by the Non-Dollar
Funds are accreted and amortized to maturity using the scientific interest
method, which approximates the effective interest method.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by the custodian bank until the respective agreements
mature. Provisions of the repurchase agreements ensure that the market value
of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the
event of default of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the
value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters into an
insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be
delayed or limited.
NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE--The net asset value per share of each Fund is
calculated each business day, by dividing the total value of each Fund's
assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. The maximum
offering price per share for Investor shares of the Investment Grade Bond,
the Investment Grade Tax-Exempt Bond, the Capital Growth, the Value Income
Stock, the Sunbelt
136

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equity, the Mid-Cap Equity, the Balanced, the Florida Tax-Exempt Bond, the
Georgia Tax-Exempt Bond, the Tennessee Tax-Exempt Bond, the U.S. Government
Securities, the International Equity, and the International Equity Index
Funds is equal to the net asset value per share plus a sales load of 3.75%.
The maximum offering price per share for Investor shares of the Short-Term
U.S. Treasury Securities Fund is equal to the net asset value per share plus
a sales load of 1.00%. The maximum offering price per share for Investor
shares of the Short-Term Bond Fund is equal to the net asset value per share
plus a sales load of 2.00%. The maximum offering price per share for
Investor shares of the Limited-Term Federal Mortgage Securities Fund is
equal to the net asset value per share plus a sales load of 2.50%
Flex Shares of the Funds may be purchased at their net asset value. Shares
redeemed within the first year after purchase will be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") equal to 2.00% of the net asset
value of the shares at the time of redemption. The CDSC will not apply to
shares redeemed after such time.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION--The books and records of the Emerging Markets
Equity, the International Equity and the International Equity Index Funds
are maintained in U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(I) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at
the current rate of exchange; and
(II) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses
at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective
dates of such transactions.
The Emerging Markets Equity, the International Equity and the International
Equity Index Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on
investments in equity securities that is due to changes in the foreign
exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity
securities.
The Emerging Markets Equity, the International Equity and the International
Equity Index Funds report certain foreign currency related transactions as
components of realized and unrealized gains and losses for financial
reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income
for Federal income tax purposes.
OTHER--Expenses that are directly related to a specific Fund are charged to
that Fund. Class specific expenses are borne by that class. Other operating
expenses of the Trust are pro-rated to the Funds on the basis of relative
net assets. Fund expenses are pro-rated to the respective classes on the
basis of relative net assets.
Distributions from net investment income of each of the Money Market Funds
and the Investment Grade Bond, the Investment Grade Tax-Exempt Bond, the
Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities, the Short-Term Bond, the Florida
Tax-Exempt Bond, the Georgia Tax-Exempt Bond, the Tennessee Tax-Exempt Bond,
the U.S. Government Securities and the Limited-Term Federal Mortgage
Securities Funds are declared each business day and paid to shareholders on
a monthly basis. Distributions from net investment income are declared and
paid each calendar quarter by the Capital Growth, the Value Income Stock,
the Sunbelt Equity, the Mid-Cap Equity, the Small Cap Equity and the
Balanced Funds. Distributions from net investment income are declared and
paid annually by the Emerging Markets Equity, the International Equity and
the International Equity Index Funds. Any net realized capital gains on
sales of securities are distributed to shareholders at least annually.
RECLASSIFICATION OF COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS--The timing and
characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are
determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may
differ from generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, net
investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment
transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from
distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are
permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in-capital or accumulated
net realized gain, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
Accordingly, the following permanent differences, primarily attributable to
a net operating loss in the Sunbelt Equity Fund and the

purposes related to the other funds, have been reclassified to/from the
following accounts:

</TABLE>
These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per
share.
USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of the financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from these
estimates.
3. Organization Costs and Transactions with Affiliates:
The Trust incurred organization costs of approximately $808,836 including
approximately $395,594 relating to state registration fees. These costs have
been deferred in the accounts of the Funds and are being amortized on a straight
line basis over a period of sixty months commencing with operations with the
exception of state registration fees, which are being amortized over a period of
twelve months. The costs include legal fees of approximately $60,383 for
organizational work performed by a law firm of which two officers of the Trust
are partners. On March 18, 1992, the Trust sold initial shares of beneficial
interest to SEI Fund Resources (the "Administrator"). In the event any of the
initial shares of the Trust are redeemed by any holder thereof during the period
that the Trust is amortizing its organizational costs, the redemption proceeds
payable to the holder thereof will be reduced by the unamortized organizational
costs in the same ratio as the number of initial shares being redeemed bears to
the number of initial shares outstanding at the time of redemption.
Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of the Administrator and/or SEI
Investments Distribution Co. (the "Distributor"). Such officers are paid no fees
by the Trust for serving as officers of the Trust.
4. Administration, Transfer Agency Servicing and
Distribution Agreements:
The Trust and the Administrator are parties to an Administration Agreement dated
May 29, 1995, under which the Administrator provides administrative services for
an annual fee (expressed as a percentage of the combined average daily net
assets of the Trust and STI Classic Variable Annuity Trust) of: .10% up to $1
billion, .07% on the next $4 billion, .05% on the next $3 billion, .045% on the
next $2 billion and .04% for over $10 billion.
The Trust and Federated Services Company are parties to a Transfer Agency
servicing agreement dated May 14, 1994 under which Federated Services Company
provides transfer agency services to the Trust.
The Trust and the Distributor are parties to a Distribution Agreement dated May
29, 1995 regarding the Flex Shares and a Distribution Agreement dated November
21, 1995 with respect to the Trust and Investor shares. The Distributor will
receive no fees for its distribution services under this agreement for the Trust
Shares of any Fund. With respect to the Investor Shares and Flex Shares, the
Distributor receives amounts, pursuant to a Distribution Plan and (in the case
of Flex Shares) a Distribution and Service Plan, as outlined in the table in
footnote 5 under the column titled "Distribution Fee".
5. Investment Advisory and Custodian Agreements:
The Trust and STI Capital Management, N.A., ("STI Capital Management, N.A."),
Trusco Capital Management ("Trusco"), the SunTrust Bank, Atlanta and SunTrust
Bank, Chattanooga have entered into advisory agreements dated May 29, 1992, June
15, 1993, December 20, 1993 and December 20, 1993 respectively.

7. Concentration of Credit Risk:
The Prime Quality Money Market Fund invests primarily in high quality money
market instruments rated in the highest short-term rating category by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") or Moody's Investors Services, Inc. ("Moody's") or,
if not rated, are determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality. The
U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund invests exclusively in U.S.
Treasury obligations, U.S. Government subsidiary corporation securities which
are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and repurchase
agreements with approved dealers collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities and
U.S. Government subsidiary corporation securities. The Tax-Exempt Money Market
Fund invests in high quality, U.S. dollar denominated municipal securities rated
in one of the two highest short-term rating categories or, if not rated, are
determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality. The Investment Grade Bond
Fund, the Short-Term Bond Fund and the Balanced Fund invest primarily in
investment grade obligations rated at least BBB or better by S&P or Baa or
better by Moody's or, if not rated, are determined by the Advisor to be of
comparable quality. The Investment Grade Tax-Exempt Fund invests primarily in
investment grade municipal securities. Municipal securities must be rated BBB or
better by S&P or Baa or better by Moody's in the case of bonds; SP-1, SP-2 or
MIG-1, MIG-2 in the case of notes; A-1, A-2 or P-1, P-2 in the case of
commercial paper; and VMIG-1, VMIG-2 in the case of variable rate demand
obligations. The Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Fund invests exclusively in
obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury with a maximum remaining maturity of 3
years or less. The Florida Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the Georgia Tax-Exempt Bond
Fund, and the Tennessee Tax-Exempt Bond Fund invest primarily in municipal bonds
concentrated in each of their respective states. Municipal securities must be
rated BBB or better by S&P or Baa or better by Moody's in the case of bonds;
A-1, A-2 or P-1, P-2 in the case of tax-exempt commercial paper; and VMIG-1,

the case of variable rate demand obligations. The U.S. Government Securities
Fund invests primarily in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, including mortgage backed
securities. The Limited-Term Federal Mortgage Securities Fund invests in
mortgage related securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies. Up
to 35% of the U.S. Government Securities Fund and the Limited-Term Federal
Mortgage Securities Fund may be invested in corporate, or government bonds that
carry a rating of BBB or better by S&P or Baa or better by Moody's. The ability

THE TRUST
STI Classic Funds (the "Trust") is a diversified, open-end management investment
company established under Massachusetts law as a Massachusetts business trust
under a Declaration of Trust dated January 15, 1992. The Declaration of Trust
permits the Trust to offer separate series ("Funds") of units of beneficial
interest ("shares") and different classes of shares of each Fund. This
Statement of Additional Information relates to the Trust's Classic Institutional
Cash Management Money Market Fund and Classic Institutional U.S. Treasury
Securities Money Market Fund (collectively, the "Funds"), each of which
currently offers one class of shares.
DESCRIPTION OF PERMITTED INVESTMENTS
FOREIGN SECURITIES
The Institutional Cash Management Money Market Fund may invest in U.S. dollar
denominated obligations or securities of foreign issuers. Possible investments
include equity securities of foreign entities, obligations of foreign branches
of U.S. banks and of foreign banks, including, without limitation, European
Certificates of Deposit, European Time Deposits, European Bankers' Acceptances,
Canadian Time Deposits and Yankee Certificates of Deposit, and investments in
Canadian Commercial Paper, Europaper and foreign securities. These instruments
may subject the Fund to investment risks that differ in some respects from those
related to investments in obligations of U.S. domestic issuers. Such risks
include future adverse political and economic developments, the possible
imposition of withholding taxes on interest or other income, possible seizure,
nationalization, or expropriation of foreign deposits, the possible
establishment of exchange controls or taxation at the source, greater
fluctuations in value due to changes in exchange rates, or the adoption of other
foreign governmental restrictions which might adversely affect the payment of
principal and interest on such obligations. Such investments may also entail
higher custodial fees and sales commissions than domestic investments. Foreign
issuers of securities or obligations are often subject to accounting treatment
and engage in business practices different from those respecting domestic
issuers of similar securities or obligations. Foreign branches of U.S. banks
and foreign banks may be subject to less stringent reserve requirements than
those applicable to domestic branches of U.S. banks.
INVESTMENT COMPANY SHARES
Investment companies typically incur fees that are separate from those fees
incurred directly by the Funds. A Fund's purchase of such investment company
securities results in the layering of expenses, such that Shareholders would
indirectly bear a proportionate share of the operating expenses of such
investment companies, including advisory fees.
B-2
<PAGE>
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES
The Funds may invest in municipal securities. The two principal classifications
of municipal securities are "general obligation" and "revenue" issues. General
obligation issues are issues involving the credit of an issuer possessing taxing
power and are payable from the issuer's general unrestricted revenues, although
the characteristics and method of enforcement of general obligation issues may
vary according to the law applicable to the particular issue. Revenue issues
are payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class
of facilities or other specific revenue source. A Fund may also invest in
"moral obligation" issues, which are normally issued by special purpose
authorities. Moral obligation issues are not backed by the full faith and
credit of the state and are generally backed by the agreement of the issuing
authority to request appropriations from the state legislative body. Municipal
securities include debt obligations issued by governmental entities to obtain
funds for various public purposes, such as the construction of a wide range of
public facilities, the refunding of outstanding obligations, the payment of
general operating expenses, and the extension of loans to other public
institutions and facilities. Certain private activity bonds that are issued by
or on behalf of public authorities to finance various privately-owned or
operated facilities are included within the term "Municipal Securities."
Private activity bonds are industrial development bonds are generally revenue
bonds, the credit and quality of which are directly related to the credit of the
private user of the facilities.
Municipal securities may also include general obligation notes, tax anticipation
notes, bond anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes, project notes,
certificates of indebtedness, demand notes, tax-exempt commercial paper,
construction loan notes and other forms of short-term, tax-exempt loans. Such
instruments are issued with a short-term maturity in anticipation of the receipt
of fax funds, the proceeds of bond placements or other revenues. Project notes
are issued by a state or local housing agency and are sold by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development. While the issuing agency has the primary
obligation with respect to its project notes, they are also secured by the full
faith and credit of the United States through agreements with the issuing
authority which provide that, if required, the federal government will end the
issuer an amount equal to the principal of and interest on the project notes.
The quality of municipal securities, both within a particular classification and
between classifications, will vary, and the yields on municipal securities
depend upon a variety of factors, including general money market conditions, the
financial condition of the issuer (or other entity whose financial resources are
supporting the securities), general conditions of the municipal bond market, the
size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the rating(s)
of the issue. In this regard, it should be emphasized that the ratings of any
NRSRO are general and are not absolute standards of quality. Municipal
securities with the same maturity, interest rate and rating(s) may have
different yields, while municipal securities of the same maturity and interest
rate with different rating(s) may have the same yield.
An issuer's obligations under its municipal securities are subject to the
provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and
remedies of creditors, such as the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and laws, if any,
which may be enacted by Congress or state legislatures extending the time for
B-3
<PAGE>
payment of principal or interest, or both, or imposing other constraints upon
the enforcement of such obligations or upon the ability of municipalities to
levy taxes. The power or ability of an issuer to meet its obligations for the
payment of interest on and principal of its municipal securities may be
materially adversely affected by litigation or other conditions.
MUNICIPAL NOTE RATINGS: Moody's highest rating for state and municipal and
other short-term notes is MIG-1 and VMIG-1. Short-term municipal securities
rated MIG-1 or VMIG-1 are of the best quality. They have strong protection from
established cash flows of funds for their servicing or from established and
broad-based access to the market for refinancing or both. Short-term municipal
securities rated MIG-2 and VMIG-2 are of high quality. Margins of protection
are ample although not so large as in the preceding group.
An S&P note rating reflects the liquidity concerns and market access risks
unique to notes. Notes due in 3 years or less will likely receive a long-term
debt rating. The following criteria will be used in making that assessment.
- Amortization schedule (the larger the final maturity relative to other
maturities the more likely it will be treated as a note).
- Source of payment (the more dependent the issue is on the market for
its refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note).
Note rate symbols are as follows:
SP-1. Very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those
issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be given a
plus (+) designation.
SP-2. Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest.
SUPRANATIONAL AGENCY OBLIGATIONS
The Institutional Cash Management Money Market Fund may purchase obligations of
supranational agencies. Currently the Fund intends to invest only in
obligations issued or guaranteed by the Asian Development Bank, Inter-American
Development Bank, International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World
Bank), African Development Bank, European Coal and Steel Community, European
Economic Community, European Investment Bank and the Nordic Investment Bank.
OTHER INVESTMENTS
The Trust is not prohibited from investing in obligations of banks which are
clients of SEI Investments Company ("SEI Investments"), the parent company of
the Administrator and the Distributor. The purchase of shares of the Trust by
such banks or by their customers will not be a consideration in
B-4
<PAGE>
determining which bank obligations the Trust will purchase. However, the Trust
will not purchase obligations issued by the Advisor.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are
agreements by which a person (E.G., a Fund) obtains a security and
simultaneously commits to return the security to the seller (a primary
securities dealer as recognized by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or a
national member bank as defined in Section 3(d)(1) of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act, as amended) at an agreed-upon price (including principal and
interest) on an agreed-upon date within a number of days (usually not more than
seven) from the date of purchase. The resale price reflects the purchase price
plus an agreed upon market rate of interest which is unrelated to the coupon
rate or maturity of the underlying security. A repurchase agreement involves
the obligation of the seller to pay the agreed upon price, which obligation is,
in effect, secured by the value of the underlying security.
Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans by a Fund for purposes of its
investment limitations. The repurchase agreements entered into by a Fund will
provide that the underlying security at all times shall have a value at least
equal to 102% of the resale price stated in the agreement (the Advisor monitors
compliance with this requirement). Under all repurchase agreements entered into
by a Fund, the Custodian or its agent must take possession of the underlying
collateral. However, if the seller defaults, a Fund could realize a loss on the
sale of the underlying security to the extent that the proceeds of the sale
including accrued interest are less than the resale price provided in the
agreement including interest. In addition, even though the Bankruptcy Code
provides protection for most repurchase agreements, if the seller should be
involved in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, a Fund may incur delay and
costs in selling the underlying security or may suffer a loss of principal and
interest if a Fund is treated as an unsecured creditor and required to return
the underlying security to the seller's estate.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES
Restricted securities are securities that may not be sold to the public without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") absent an
exemption from registration. PERMITTED INVESTMENTS FOR THE FUNDS INCLUDE
RESTRICTED SECURITIES, AND EACH FUND MAY INVEST UP TO 10% OF ITS NET ASSETS IN
illiquid securities, subject to each Fund's investment limitations on the
purchase of illiquid securities. Restricted securities, including securities
eligible for re-sale under 1933 Act Rule 144A, that are determined to be liquid
are not subject to this limitation. This determination is to be made by the
Fund's Advisor pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees. Under
these guidelines, the Advisor will consider the frequency of trades and quotes
for the security, the number of dealers in, and potential purchasers for, the
securities, dealer undertakings to make a market in the security, and the nature
of the security and of the marketplace trades. In purchasing such Restricted
Securities, the Advisor intends to purchase securities that are exempt from
registration under Rule 144A under the 1933 Act.
B-5
<PAGE>
SECURITIES LENDING
The Funds may lend securities pursuant to agreements which require that the
loans be continuously secured by collateral at all times equal to 100% of the
market value of the loaned securities which consists of cash, securities of the
U.S. Government or its agencies, or any combination of cash and such securities.
Such loans will not be made if, as a result, the aggregate amount of all
outstanding securities loans for a Fund exceed one-third of the value of the
Fund's total assets taken at fair market value. A Fund will continue to receive
interest on the securities lent while simultaneously earning interest on the
investment of the cash collateral in U.S. Government securities. However, a
Fund will normally pay lending fees to such broker-dealers and related expenses
from the interest earned on invested collateral. There may be risks of delay in
receiving additional collateral or risks of delay in recovery of the securities
or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities
fail financially. However, loans are made only to borrowers deemed by the
Advisor to be of good standing and when, in the judgment of the Advisor, the
consideration which can be earned currently from such securities loans justifies
the attendant risk. Any loan may be terminated by either party upon reasonable
notice to the other party. The Funds may use the Distributor or a broker-dealer
affiliate of the Advisor as a broker in these transactions.
STANDBY COMMITMENTS AND PUTS
The Institutional Cash Management Money Market Fund may purchase securities at a
price which would result in a yield-to-maturity lower than that generally
offered by the seller at the time of purchase when it can simultaneously acquire
the right to sell the securities back to the seller, the issuer, or a third
party (the "writer") at an agreed-upon price at any time during a stated period
or on a certain date. Such a right is generally denoted as a "standby
commitment" or a "put." The purpose of engaging in transactions involving puts
is to maintain flexibility and liquidity to permit the Fund to meet redemptions
and remain as fully invested as possible in municipal securities. The Fund
reserves the right to engage in put transactions. The right to put the
securities depends on the writer's ability to pay for the securities at the time
the put is exercised. The Institutional Cash Management Money Market Fund would
limit its put transactions to institutions which the Advisor believes present
minimal credit risks, and the Advisor would use its best efforts to initially
determine and continue to monitor the financial strength of the sellers of the
options by evaluating their financial statements and such other information as
is available in the marketplace. It may, however be difficult to monitor the
financial strength of the writers because adequate current financial information
may not be available. In the event that any writer is unable to honor a put
for financial reasons, the Fund would be a general creditor (I.E., on a parity
with all other unsecured creditors) of the writer. Furthermore, particular
provisions of the contract between the Fund and the writer may excuse the writer
from repurchasing the securities; for example, a change in the published rating
of the underlying securities or any similar event that has an adverse effect on
the issuer's credit or a provision in the contract that the put will not be
exercised except in certain special cases, for example, to maintain portfolio
liquidity. The Fund could, however, at any time sell the underlying portfolio
security in the open market or wait until the portfolio security matures, at
which time it should realize the full par value of the security.
B-6
<PAGE>
The securities purchased subject to a put may be sold to third persons at any
time, even though the put is outstanding, but the put itself, unless it is an
integral part of the security as originally issued, may not be marketable or
otherwise assignable. Therefore, the put would have value only to the Fund.
Sale of the securities to third parties or lapse of time with the put
unexercised may terminate the right to put the securities. Prior to the
expiration of any put option, the Fund could seek to negotiate terms for the
extension of such an option. If such a renewal cannot be negotiated on terms
satisfactory to the Fund, the Fund could, of course, sell the portfolio
security. The maturity of the underlying security will generally be different
from that of the put. There will be no limit to the percentage of portfolio
securities that the Fund may purchase subject to a standby commitment or put,
but the amount paid directly or indirectly for all standby commitments or puts
which are not integral parts of the security as originally issued held in the
Fund will not exceed 1/2 of 1% of the value of its total assets of such Fund
calculated immediately after any such put is acquired.
STRIPS
Each Fund may invest in Separately Traded Interest and Principal Securities
("STRIPS"), which are component parts of U.S. Treasury Securities traded through
the Federal Book-Entry System. The Advisor will only purchase STRIPS that it
determines are liquid or, if illiquid, do not violate each Fund's investment
policy concerning investments in illiquid securities. Consistent with Rule 2a-7
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act"), the
Advisor will only purchase STRIPS for the Funds that have a remaining maturity
of 397 days or less; therefore, the Funds currently may only purchase interest
component parts of U.S. Treasury Securities. While there is no limitation on
the percentage of a Fund's assets that may be comprised of STRIPS, the Advisor
will monitor the level of such holdings to avoid the risk of impairing
Shareholders' redemption rights and of deviations in the value of shares of the
Funds.
U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCY SECURITIES
Certain investments of the Institutional Cash Management Money Market Fund may
include U.S. Government Agency Securities. Agencies of the United States
Government which issue obligations consist of, among others, the Export Import
Bank of the United States, Farmers Home Administration, Federal Farm Credit
Bank, Federal Housing Administration, Government National Mortgage Association
("GNMA"), Maritime Administration, Small Business Administration, and The
Tennessee Valley Authority. Obligations of instrumentalities of the United
States Government include securities issued by, among others, Federal Home Loan
Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Intermediate Credit
Banks, Federal Land Banks, Fannie Mae, and the United States Postal Service as
well as government trust certificates. Some of these securities are supported
by the full faith and credit of the United States Treasury (E.G., GNMA
securities), others are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the
Treasury and still others are supported only by the credit of the
instrumentality (E.G., Fannie Mae securities). Guarantees of principal by
agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government may be a guarantee of
payment at the maturity of the obligation so that in the event of a default
prior to maturity there might not be a market and thus no means of realizing the
value of the obligation prior to maturity.

VARIABLE RATE MASTER DEMAND NOTES
The Institutional Cash Management Money Market Fund may invest in variable rate
master demand notes which may or may not be backed by bank letters of credit.
These notes permit the investment of fluctuating amounts at varying market rates
of interest pursuant to direct arrangements between the Fund, as lender, and the
borrower. Such notes provide that the interest rate on the amount outstanding
varies on a daily, weekly or monthly basis depending upon a stated short-term
interest rate index. Both the lender and the borrower have the right to reduce
the amount of outstanding indebtedness at any time. There is no secondary
market for the notes and it is not generally contemplated that such instruments
will be traded. The quality of the note or the underlying credit must, in the
opinion of the Advisor, be equivalent to the ratings applicable to permitted
investments for the Fund. The Advisor will monitor on an ongoing basis the
earning power, cash flow and liquidity ratios of the issuers of such instruments
and will similarly monitor the ability of an issuer of a demand instrument to
pay principal and interest on demand.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The following are fundamental policies of each Fund and cannot be changed with
respect to a Fund without the consent of the holders of a majority of a Fund's
outstanding shares.
The term "a majority of the outstanding shares" of a Fund means the vote of the
lesser of (i) 67% or more of the shares of such Fund present at a meeting, if
the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such Fund are present
or represented by proxy or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such
Fund.
A Fund may not:
1. Acquire more than 10% of the voting securities of any one issuer.
2. Invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control.
3. Borrow money except for temporary or emergency purposes and then only in an
amount not exceeding one-third of the value of total assets. Any borrowing
will be done from a bank and, to the extent that such borrowing exceeds 5%
of the value of the Fund's assets, asset coverage of at least 300% is
required. In the event that such asset coverage shall at any time fall
below 300%, the Fund shall, within three days thereafter or such longer
period as the Securities and Exchange Commission may prescribe by rules and
regulations, reduce the amount of its borrowings to such an extent that the
asset coverage of such borrowings shall be at least 300%. This borrowing
provision is included solely to facilitate the orderly sale of portfolio
securities to accommodate heavy redemption requests if they should occur
and is not for investment purposes. All borrowings in excess of 5% of the
value of a Fund's total assets will be repaid before making additional
investments and any interest paid on such borrowings will reduce income.
B-8
<PAGE>
4. Make loans, except that (a) a Fund may purchase or hold debt instruments in
accordance with its investment objective and policies; (b) a Fund may enter
into repurchase agreements, and (c) a Fund may engage in securities lending
as described in the Prospectus and in this Statement of Additional
Information.
5. Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate assets except to secure temporary
borrowings permitted by (3) above in aggregate amounts not to exceed 10% of
the Fund's total assets, taken at current value at the time of the
incurrence of such loan, except as permitted with respect to securities
lending.
6. Purchase or sell real estate, real estate limited partnership interests,
commodities or commodities contracts and interests in a pool of securities
that are secured by interests in real estate. However, subject to their
permitted investment spectrum, any Fund may invest in companies which
invest in real estate commodities or commodities contracts.
7. Make short sales of securities, maintain a short position or purchase
securities on margin, except that the Trust may obtain short-term credits
as necessary for the clearance of security transactions.
8. Act as an underwriter of securities of other issuers except as it may be
deemed an underwriter in selling a security.
9. Purchase securities of other investment companies except for money market
funds and CMOs and REMICs deemed to be investment companies and then only
as permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Under these rules and regulations, a Fund is prohibited from acquiring the
securities of other investment companies if, as a result of such
acquisition, the Fund owns more than 3% of the total voting stock of the
company; securities issued by any one investment company represent more
than 5% of the total assets of a Fund; or securities (other than treasury
stock) issued by all investment companies represent more than 10% of the
total assets of the Fund.
10. Issue senior securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) except in connection
with permitted borrowings as described above or as permitted by rule,
regulation or order of the SEC.
NON-FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES
No Fund may purchase or hold illiquid securities, I.E., securities that cannot
be disposed of for their approximate carrying value in seven days or less
(which term includes repurchase agreements and time deposits maturing in more
than seven days) if, in the aggregate, more than 10% of its net assets would be
invested in illiquid securities.
The foregoing percentages, except with respect to holding illiquid securities,
will apply at the time of the purchase of a security and shall not be considered
violated unless an excess occurs or exists immediately after and as a result of
a purchase of such security.

INVESTMENT ADVISOR
The Trust and Trusco Capital Management, Inc. (the "Advisor") have entered into
an advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement"). The Advisory Agreement
provides that the Advisor shall not be protected against any liability to the
Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or from reckless
disregard of its obligations or duties thereunder.
The Advisory Agreement provides that if, for any fiscal year, the ratio of
expenses of a Fund (including amounts payable to the Advisor but excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage, litigation, and other extraordinary expenses)
exceeds limitations established by certain states, the Advisor and/or the
Administrator will bear the amount of such excess. The Advisor will not be
required to bear expenses of the Trust to an extent which would result in a
Fund's inability to qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code.
The continuance of the Advisory Agreement, after the first two years, must be
specifically approved at least annually (i) by the vote of the Trustees, and
(ii) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to each
Agreement or "interested persons" of any party thereto, cast in person at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The Advisory
Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, and is
terminable at any time without penalty by the Trustees of the Trust or, with
respect to the Funds, by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Funds, on
not less than 30 days' nor more than 60 days' written notice to the Advisor, or
by the Advisor on 90 days' written notice to the Trust.

relates, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence on the part of the Administrator in the performance of its duties or
from reckless disregard by it of its duties and obligations thereunder.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
From time to time a Fund may advertise its performance. Performance figures are
based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future
performance.
PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS
Each Fund may periodically compare its performance to other mutual funds tracked
by mutual fund rating services, to broad groups of comparable mutual funds, or
to unmanaged indices. These comparisons may assume reinvestment of dividends
but generally do not reflect deductions for administrative and management costs.
COMPUTATION OF YIELD
The current yield of the Funds will be calculated daily based upon the seven
days ending on the date of calculation ("base period"). The yield is computed
by determining the net change (exclusive of capital changes) in the value of a
hypothetical pre-existing shareholder account having a balance of one share at
the beginning of the period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting
deductions from shareholder accounts, and dividing such net change by the value
of the account at the beginning of the same period to obtain the base period
return and multiplying the result by (365/7). Realized and unrealized gains and
losses are not included in the calculation of the yield. The effective
compound
B-14
<PAGE>
yield of the Funds is determined by computing the net change, exclusive of
capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a
balance of one share at the beginning of the period, subtracting a hypothetical
charge reflecting deductions from shareholder accounts, and dividing the
difference by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period to
obtain the base period return, and then compounding the base period return by
adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting
1 from the result, according to the following formula: Effective Yield = [Base
Period Return + 1) 365/7] - 1. The current and the effective yields reflect
the reinvestment of net income earned daily on portfolio assets.

Treasury Securities Fund 5.36% 5.49%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
The yield of these Funds fluctuates, and the annualization of a week's dividend
is not a representation by the Trust as to what an investment in the Fund will
actually yield in the future. Actual yields will depend on such variables as
asset quality, average asset maturity, the type of instruments the Fund invests
in, changes in interest rates on money market instruments, changes in the
expenses of the Fund and other factors.
Yields are one basis upon which investors may compare the Funds with other money
market funds; however, yields of other money market funds and other investment
vehicles may not be comparable because of the factors set forth above and
differences in the methods used in valuing portfolio instruments.
CALCULATION OF TOTAL RETURN
From time to time, the Trust may include the names of clients of the Advisor in
advertisements and/or sales literature for the Trust. The SEI Funds Evaluation
database tracks the total return of numerous tax-exempt pension accounts. The
range of returns in these accounts determines the percentile rankings. SunTrust
Bank's investment advisory affiliate, Trusco Capital Management, has been in the
top 1% of the SEI Funds Evaluation database for equity managers over the past
ten years. SEI Investment's database includes research data on over 1,000
investment managers responsible for over $450 billion in assets.
Based on the foregoing, the average annual total returns for the Funds from
inception through May 31, 1997 were as follows:

ADVERTISING
From time to time, the Trust may include the names of clients of the Advisor in
advertisements and/or sales literature for the Trust.
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Purchases and redemptions of shares of the Funds may be made on any day the New
York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business. Currently, the NYSE is
closed on the days following holidays are observed: New Year's Day, Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence
Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
It is currently the Trust's policy to pay for all redemptions in cash. The
Trust retains the right, however, to alter this policy to provide for
redemptions in whole or in part by a distribution in-kind of readily marketable
securities held by the Funds in lieu of cash. Shareholders may incur brokerage
charges on the sale of any such securities so received in payment of
redemptions. A Shareholder will at all times be entitled to aggregate cash
redemptions from all Funds of the Trust during any 90-day period of up to the
lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the Trust's net assets.
The Trust reserves the right to suspend the right of redemption and/or to
postpone the date of payment upon redemption for any period on which trading on
the NYSE is restricted, or during the existence of an emergency (as determined
by the Securities and Exchange Commission by rule or regulation) as a result of
disposal or valuation of a Fund's securities is not reasonably practicable, or
for such other periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission has by order
permitted. The Trust also reserves the right to suspend sales of shares of a
Fund for any period during which the NYSE, an Advisor, the Administrator and/or
the Custodian are not open for business. Investors will receive written
notification at least thirty days prior to any change in a Fund's investment
objective.
Certain state securities laws may require those financial institutions providing
certain distribution services to the Trust to register as dealers pursuant to
state law.
B-16
<PAGE>
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
The net asset value per share of the Funds is calculated daily by the
Administrator by adding the value of securities and other assets, subtracting
liabilities and dividing by the number of outstanding shares. Securities will
be valued by the amortized cost method which involves valuing a security at its
cost on the date of purchase and thereafter (absent unusual circumstances)
assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium,
regardless of the impact of fluctuations in general market rates of interest on
the value of the instrument. While this method provides certainty in valuation,
it may result in periods during which a security's value, as determined by this
method, is higher or lower than the price a Fund would receive if it sold the
instrument. During periods of declining interest rates, the daily yield of a
Fund may tend to be higher than a like computation made by a company with
identical investments utilizing a method of valuation based upon market prices
and estimates of market prices for all of its portfolio securities. Thus, if
the use of amortized cost by a Fund resulted in a lower aggregate portfolio
value on a particular day, a prospective investor in a Fund would be able to
obtain a somewhat higher yield than would result from investment in a company
utilizing solely market values, and existing investors in a Fund would
experience a lower yield. The converse would apply in a period of rising
interest rates.
A Fund's use of amortized cost and the maintenance of a Fund's net asset value
at $1.00 are permitted by regulations promulgated by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940
Act, provided that certain conditions are met. The regulations also require the
Trustees to establish procedures which are reasonably designed to stabilize the
net asset value per share at $1.00 for the Funds. Such procedures include the
determination of the extent of deviation, if any, of the Funds current net asset
value per share calculated using available market quotations from the Funds
amortized cost price per share at such intervals as the Trustees deem
appropriate and reasonable in light of market conditions and periodic reviews of
the amount of the deviation and the methods used to calculate such deviation.
In the event that such deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the Trustees are required to
consider promptly what action, if any, should be initiated, and, if the Trustees
believe that the extent of any deviation may result in material dilution or
other unfair results to Shareholders, the Trustees are required to take such
corrective action as they deem appropriate to eliminate or reduce such dilution
or unfair results to the extent reasonably practicable. Such actions may
include the sale of portfolio instruments prior to maturity to realize capital
gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends;
redeeming shares in kind; or establishing a net asset value per share by using
available market quotations. In addition, if the Funds incur a significant loss
or liability, the Trustees have the authority to reduce pro rata the number of
shares of the Funds in each Shareholder's account and to offset each
Shareholder's pro rata portion of such loss or liability from the Shareholder's
accrued but unpaid dividends or from future dividends while each other Fund must
annually distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income.
TAXES
The following is a summary of certain Federal income tax considerations
generally affecting the Funds and their shareholders that are not described in
the Funds' prospectus. No attempt is made to
B-17
<PAGE>
present a detailed explanation of the Federal tax treatment of the Funds or
their Shareholders, and the discussion here and in the Funds' prospectus is not
intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
This discussion of Federal income tax consequences is based on the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations issued
thereunder, in effect on the date of this Statement of Additional Information.
New legislation, as well as administrative changes or court decisions, may
change the conclusions expressed herein, and may have a retroactive effect with
respect to the transactions contemplated herein.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX
In order to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company ("RIC")
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), each Fund must
distribute annually to its Shareholders at least the sum of 90% of its net
interest income excludable from gross income plus 90% of its investment company
taxable income (generally, net investment income plus net short-term capital
gain) ("Distribution Requirement") and also must meet several additional
requirements. Among these requirements are the following: (i) at least 90% of
a Fund's gross income each taxable year must be derived from dividends,
interest, payments with respect to securities loans, and gains from the sale or
other disposition of stock or securities, or certain other income; (ii) a Fund
must derive less than 30% of its gross income each taxable year from the sale or
other disposition of stocks or securities held for less than three months; (iii)
at the close of each quarter of a Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the value
of its total assets must be represented by cash and cash items, U.S. Government
securities, securities of other RIC's and other securities, with such other
securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount that does not
exceed 5% of the value of a Fund's assets and that does not represent more than
10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer; and (iv) at the close
of each quarter of a Fund's taxable year, not more than 25% of the value of its
assets may be invested in securities (other than U.S. Government securities or
the securities of other RIC's) of any one issuer, or of two or more issuers
engaged in same or similar businesses if the Fund owns at least 20% of the
voting power of such issuers. Requirement (ii) no longer applies for tax years
beginning after August 5, 1997.
Notwithstanding the Distribution Requirement described above, which only
requires a Fund to distribute at least 90% of its annual investment company
taxable income and does not require any minimum distribution of net capital
gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital
loss), a Fund will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax to the extent it
fails to distribute by the end of any calendar year 98% of its ordinary income
for that year and 98% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period
ending on October 31 of that calendar year, plus certain other amounts. Each
Fund intends to make sufficient distributions prior to the end of each calendar
year to avoid liability for the federal excise tax applicable to regulated
investment companies.
B-18
<PAGE>
If, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, at least 50% of the value
of a Fund's total assets consists of obligations the interest on which is
excludable from gross income, a Fund may pay "exempt-interest dividends," as
defined in Section 852(b)(5) of the Code, to its Shareholders.
Any gain or loss recognized on a sale or redemption of Shares of a Fund by a
Shareholder who is not a dealer in securities will generally be treated as a
long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than
eighteen months, mid-term if the shares have been held for over one year but not
for over eighteen months, and short-term if for a year or less. If shares held
for six months or less are sold or redeemed for a loss, two special rules apply:
First, if shares on which a net capital gain distribution has been received are
subsequently sold or redeemed, and such shares have been held for six months or
less, any loss recognized will be treated as long-term capital loss to the
extent of the long-term capital gain distributions. Second, any loss recognized
by a Shareholder upon the sale or redemption of shares of a tax-exempt fund held
for six months or less will be disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest
dividends received by the Shareholder with respect to such shares.
The Funds will make annual reports to Shareholders of the Federal income tax
status of all distributions.
FUND TRANSACTIONS
The Trust has no obligation to deal with any dealer or group of dealers in the
execution of transactions in portfolio securities. Subject to policies
established by the Trustees, the Advisor is responsible for placing the orders
to execute transactions for a Fund. In placing orders, it is the policy of the
Trust to seek to obtain the best net results taking into account such factors as
price (including the applicable dealer spread), the size, type and difficulty of
the transaction involved, the firm's general execution and operational
facilities, and the firm's risk in positioning the securities involved. While
the Advisor generally seeks reasonably competitive spreads or commissions, the
Trust will not necessarily be paying the lowest spread or commission available.
The money market securities in which the Funds invest are traded primarily in
the over-the-counter market. Bonds and debentures are usually traded
over-the-counter, but may be traded on an exchange. Where possible, the Advisor
will deal directly with the dealers who make a market in the securities involved
except in those circumstances where better prices and execution are available
elsewhere. Such dealers usually are acting as principal for their own account.
On occasion, securities may be purchased directly from the issuer. Money market
securities are generally traded on a net basis and do not normally involve
either brokerage commissions or transfer taxes. The cost of executing portfolio
securities transactions of the Trust will primarily consist of dealer spreads
and underwriting commissions.
TRADING PRACTICES AND BROKERAGE
The Trust selects brokers or dealers to execute transactions for the purchase or
sale of portfolio securities on the basis of its judgment of their professional
capability to provide the service. The primary
B-19
<PAGE>
consideration is to have brokers or dealers provide transactions at best price
and execution for the Trust. Best price and execution includes many factors,
including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the
promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement
accorded the order and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by
the account on the transaction. The Trust's determination of what are
reasonably competitive rates is based upon the professional knowledge of its
trading department as to rates paid and charged for similar transactions
throughout the securities industry. In some instances, the Trust pays a
minimal share transaction cost when the transaction presents no difficulty.
Some trades are made on a net basis where the Trust either buys securities
directly from the dealer or sells them to the dealer. In these instances, there
is no direct commission charged but there is a spread (the difference between
the buy and sell price) which is the equivalent of a commission.
The Trust may allocate out of all commission business generated by all of the
funds and accounts under management by an Advisor, brokerage business to brokers
or dealers who provide brokerage and research services. These research services
include advice, either directly or through publications or writings, as to the
value of securities, the advisability of investing in, purchasing or selling
securities, and the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of
securities; furnishing of analyses and reports concerning issuers, securities or
industries; providing information on economic factors and trends, assisting in
determining portfolio strategy, providing computer software used in security
analyses, and providing portfolio performance evaluation and technical market
analyses. Such services are used by an Advisor in connection with its
investment decision-making process with respect to one or more funds and
accounts managed by it, and may not be used exclusively with respect to the fund
or account generating the brokerage.
As provided in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") higher
commissions may be paid to broker-dealers who provide brokerage and research
services than to broker-dealers who do not provide such services if such higher
commissions are deemed reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided. Although transactions are directed to
broker-dealers who provide such brokerage and research services, the Trust
believes that the commissions paid to such broker-dealers are not, in general,
higher than commissions that would be paid to broker-dealers not providing such
services and that such commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of
the brokerage and research services provided. In addition, portfolio
transactions which generate commissions or their equivalent are directed to
broker-dealers who provide daily portfolio pricing services to the Trust.
Subject to best price and execution, commissions used for pricing may or may not
be generated by the funds receiving the pricing service.
An Advisor may place a combined order for two or more accounts or funds engaged
in the purchase or sale of the same security if, in its judgment, joint
execution is in the best interest of each participant and will result in best
price and execution. Transactions involving commingled orders are allocated in
a manner deemed equitable to each account or fund. It is believed that the
ability of the accounts to participate in volume transactions will generally be
beneficial to the accounts and funds. Although it is recognized that, in some
cases, the joint execution of orders could adversely affect the price or volume
of the security that a particular account or Fund may obtain, it is the opinion
of each Advisor and the
B-20
<PAGE>
Trust's Board of Trustees that the advantages of combined orders outweigh the
possible disadvantages of separate transactions.
Consistent with the Conduct Rules of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., and subject to seeking best price and execution, the Funds, at
the request of the Distributor, give consideration to sales of shares of the
Trust as a factor in the selection of brokers and dealers to execute Trust
portfolio transactions.
It is expected that the Trust may execute brokerage or other agency transactions
through the Distributor or an affiliate of an Advisor, both of which are
registered broker-dealers, for a commission in conformity with the 1940 Act, the
1934 Act and rules promulgated by the SEC. Under these provisions, the
Distributor or an affiliate of an Advisor is permitted to receive and retain
compensation for effecting portfolio transactions for the Trust on an exchange
if a written contract is in effect between the Distributor and the Trust
expressly permitting the Distributor or an affiliate of an Advisor to receive
and retain such compensation. These rules further require that commissions paid
to the Distributor by the Trust for exchange transactions not exceed "usual and
customary" brokerage commissions. The rules define "usual and customary"
commissions to include amounts which are "reasonable and fair compared to the
commission, fee or other renumeration received or to be received by other
brokers in connection with comparable transactions involving similar securities
being purchased or sold on a securities exchange during a comparable period of
time." In addition, the Trust may direct commission business to one or more
designated broker-dealers in connection with such broker/dealer's provision of
services to the Trust or payment of certain Trust expenses (e.g., custody,
pricing and professional fees). The Trustees, including those who are not
"interested persons" of the Trust, have adopted procedures for evaluating the
reasonableness of commissions paid to the Distributor, and will review these
procedures periodically.
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1997, the Funds paid the following brokerage
commissions with respect to portfolio transactions:

DESCRIPTION OF SHARES
The Declaration of Trust authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of
shares and classes of shares of the Funds each of which represents an equal
proportionate interest in that Fund with each other share. Shares are entitled
upon liquidation to a PRO RATA share in the net assets of the Funds.
Shareholders have no preemptive rights. The Declaration of Trust provides that
the Trustees of the Trust may create additional series of shares or classes of
series. All consideration received by the Trust for shares of any additional
series and all assets in which such consideration is invested would belong to
that series and would be subject to the liabilities related thereto. Share
certificates representing shares will not be issued.
SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY
The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts business
trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust could, under
certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for the obligations
of the trust. Even if, however, the Trust were held to be a partnership, the
possibility of the Shareholders' incurring financial loss for that reason
appears remote because the Trust's Declaration of Trust contains an express
disclaimer of Shareholder liability for obligations of the Trust and requires
that notice of such disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation or
instrument entered into or executed by or on behalf of the Trust or the
Trustees, and because the Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out
of the Trust property for any Shareholder held personally liable for the
obligations of the Trust.
LIMITATION OF TRUSTEES' LIABILITY
The Declaration of Trust provides that a Trustee shall be liable only for his
own willful defaults and, if reasonable care has been exercised in the selection
of officers, agents, employees or investment advisors, shall not be liable for
any neglect or wrongdoing of any such person. The Declaration of Trust also
provides that the Trust will indemnify its Trustees and officers against
liabilities and expenses incurred in
B-22
<PAGE>
connection with actual or threatened litigation in which they may be involved
because of their offices with the Trust unless it is determined in the manner
provided in the Declaration of Trust that they have not acted in good faith in
the reasonable belief that their actions were in the best interests of the
Trust. However, nothing in the Declaration of Trust shall protect or indemnify
a Trustee against any liability for his willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of his duties.
5% AND 25% SHAREHOLDERS
As of September 29, 1997, the following persons were the only persons who were
record owners (or to the knowledge of the Trust, beneficial owners) of 5% and
25% or more of the shares of the Funds. Persons who owned of record or
beneficially more than 25% of a Fund's outstanding shares may be deemed to
control the Fund within the meaning of the Act. The Trust believes that most of
the shares of the Trust Class of the Funds were held for the record owner's
fiduciary, agency or custodial customers.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
STI Classic Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the Classic
Institutional Cash Management Money Market Fund and the statements of assets and
liabilities, including the schedule of investments of the Classic Institutional
U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund of STI Classic Funds (the "Trust") as
of May 31, 1997, and the related statements of operations, changes in net
assets, and financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May
31, 1997, by correspondence with the custodian and the application of
alternative auditing procedures with respect to unsettled securities
transactions. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Classic Institutional Cash Management Money Market Fund and Classic
Institutional U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund of STI Classic Funds as
of May 31, 1997, the results of their operations, changes in their net assets,
and financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

STI CLASSIC FUNDS MAY 31, 1996
1. Organization:
The STI Classic Funds (the "Trust") was organized as a Massachusetts Business
Trust under a Declaration of Trust dated January 15, 1992. The Trust is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
management investment company with twenty-three portfolios: the Value Income
Stock Fund, the Mid-Cap Equity Fund, the Small Cap Equity Fund, the Capital
Growth Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Emerging Markets Equity Fund, the
International Equity Index Fund, the International Equity Fund the Sunbelt
Equity Fund, the Investment Grade Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the Florida Tax-Exempt
Bond Fund, the Tennessee Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the Georgia Tax-Exempt Bond Fund,
the Investment Grade Bond Fund, the Short-Term Bond Fund, the Short-Term U.S.
Treasury Securities Fund, the Limited-Term Federal Mortgage Securities Fund, and
the U.S. Government Securities Fund, (collectively the "Non-Dollar Funds"), the
Prime Quality Money Market Fund, the U.S. Government Securities Money Market
Fund, the Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, the Classic Institutional Cash
Management Money Market Fund and the Classic Institutional U.S. Treasury
Securities Money Market Fund, (collectively the "Money Market Funds"). The
assets of each portfolio are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited
to the Fund in which shares are held. Each Fund's prospectus provides a
description of the Fund's investment objectives, policies and strategies. The
footnotes herein pertain only to the Classic Institutional Cash Management Money
Market Fund and the Classic Institutional U.S. Treasury Securities Fund
(collectively the "Funds").
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Trust:
SECURITY VALUATION--Investment securities held by the Funds are stated at
amortized cost, which approximates market value.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--It is each Fund's intention to qualify as a regulated
investment company for Federal income tax purposes and distribute all of its
taxable income and net capital gains. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal
income taxes are required.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Security transactions are
accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date).
Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Costs used in determining
net realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are
those of the specific securities sold adjusted for the accretion and
amortization of purchase discounts and premiums during the respective
holding period. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities held by the
Funds are accreted and amortized ratably to maturity and are included in
interest income.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by the custodian bank until the respective agreements
mature. Provisions of the repurchase agreements ensure that the market value
of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the
event of default of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the
value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters into an
insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be
delayed or limited.
NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE--The net asset value per share of each Fund is
calculated each business day, by dividing the total value of each Fund's
assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding.
OTHER--Expenses that are directly related to a specific Fund are charged to
that Fund. Class specific expenses are borne by that class. Other operating
expenses of the Trust are pro-rated to the Funds on the basis of relative
net assets. Fund expenses are pro-rated to the respective classes on the
basis of relative net assets.
Distributions from net investment income of each of the Funds are declared on
each business day and paid to shareholders on a monthly basis. Any net realized
capital gains on sales of securities are distributed to shareholders at least
annually.
3. Organization Costs and Transactions with Affiliates:
The Trust incurred organization costs of approximately $808,836 including
approximately $395,594 relating to state
158
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
registration fees. These costs have been deferred in the accounts of the Funds
and are being amortized on a straight line basis over a period of sixty months
commencing with operations with the exception of state registration fees, which
are being amortized over a period of twelve months. The costs include legal fees
of approximately $60,383 for organizational work performed by a law firm of
which two officers of the Trust are partners. On March 18, 1992, the Trust sold
initial shares of beneficial interest to SEI Fund Resources (the
"Administrator"). In the event any of the initial shares of the Trust are
redeemed by any holder thereof during the period that the Trust is amortizing
its organizational costs, the redemption proceeds payable to the holder thereof
will be reduced by the unamortized organizational costs in the same ratio as the
number of initial shares being redeemed bears to the number of initial shares
outstanding at the time of redemption.
Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of the Administrator and/or SEI
Investments Distribution Co. (the "Distributor"). Such officers are paid no fees
by the Trust for serving as officers of the Trust.
4. Administration and Transfer Agency Servicing Agreements:
The Trust and the Administrator are parties to an Administration Agreement dated
May 29, 1995, under which the Administrator provides administrative services for
an annual fee (expressed as a percentage of the combined average daily net
assets of the Trust and STI Classic Variable Annuity Trust) of: .10% up to $1
billion, .07% on the next $4 billion, .05% on the next $3 billion, .045% on the
next $2 billion and .04% for over $10 billion.
The Trust and Federated Services Company are parties to a Transfer Agency
servicing agreement dated May 14, 1994 under which Federated Services Company
provides transfer agency services to the Trust.
5. Investment Advisory and Custodian Agreements:
The Trust and STI Capital Management, N.A., ("STI Capital Management, N.A."),
Trusco Capital Management ("Trusco"), the SunTrust Bank, Atlanta and SunTrust
Bank, Chattanooga have entered into advisory agreements dated May 29, 1992, July
15, 1993, December 20, 1993 and December 20, 1993 respectively.
Under terms of the respective agreements, the Funds are charged the following
annual fees based upon average daily net assets:

</TABLE>
The Investment Advisors and the Administrator have voluntarily agreed to waive
all or a portion of their fees (and to reimburse Funds' expenses) in order to
limit operating expenses to an amount as outlined in the table above. Fee
waivers and expense reimbursements are voluntary and may be terminated at any
time.
SunTrust Bank, Atlanta, formerly Trust Company Bank, acts as custodian for the
Funds. Fees of the Custodians are paid on the basis of the net assets of the
Funds. The Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the
Trust or which securities are to be purchased or sold in the Funds.
6. Concentration of Credit Risk:
The Classic Institutional Cash Management Money Market Fund invests in high
quality money market instruments issued by corporations and the U.S. Government
and rated by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations,
or, if not rated determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality. The
Classic U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund invests in U.S. Treasury
Obligations, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Government and repurchase agreements with approved dealers collateralized by
U.S. Treasury securities.
