The information on page 4 of the prospectus with respect to the predecessor
collective funds has been updated to reflect performance data for the Funds,
including the performance of the predecessor collective investment funds,
through May 31, 1997.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FOR PREDECESSOR COLLECTIVE FUNDS
Before commencing operations as SEC-registered mutual funds on January 31,
1997, the Emerging Markets Equity and Small Cap Equity Funds were operated as
unregistered collective investment funds managed by STI Capital Management, Inc.
A substantial portion of the assets of the collective investment funds was
transferred to the Funds immediately prior to their commencement of operations.
The collective investment funds were managed using virtually the same investment
objectives, policies and restrictions as those used by each respective Fund. Set
forth below is the performance of the Funds since they commenced operations
together with their prior performance since inception as unregistered collective
investment funds. The performance data for the predecessor collective investment
funds is not necessarily indicative of the future performance of each Fund. This
is because the predecessor collective investment funds were not subject to
certain investment limitations imposed on mutual funds, which, if they had been
imposed, may have adversely affected their performance.
The performance of the Funds since inception, as set forth below, reflects
the average annual total returns, adjusted to reflect Fund expenses, net of
voluntary waivers and reimbursements, for the periods specified below. The
predecessor collective investment funds did not incur expenses that correspond
to the advisory, administrative, and other fees to which each Fund is subject.
Accordingly, the performance information for the predecessor collective funds
has been adjusted by applying the total expense ratio for the corresponding
Fund, as disclosed in the prospectus at the time the Fund commenced operations,
which reduced the actual performance of the collective investment fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS STI CLASSIC FUNDS
May 31, 1997 UNAUDITED
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-four portfolios: 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, the Classic Institutional U.S. Treasury Fund (collectively the
"Money Market Funds"), the Investment Grade Bond Fund, the Investment Grade
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Fund, the
Short-Term Bond Fund, the Capital Growth Fund, the Value Income Stock Fund, the
Sunbelt Equity Fund, the Mid-Cap Equity Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Florida
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the Georgia Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the Tennessee Tax-Exempt
Bond Fund, the U.S. Government Securities Fund, the Limited-Term Federal
Mortgage Securities Fund, the Small Cap Equity Fund, the International Equity
Fund, the International Equity Index Fund and the Emerging Markets Equity Fund
(collectively the "Non-Dollar 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 Fund (collectively the "Funds").
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
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 $653,100. 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.
The costs include legal fees of approximately $41,100 for organizational work
performed by a law firm of which two officers of the
<PAGE>
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:

The Investment Advisors, the Administrator and the Distributor 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 all
the Funds except the International Equity, the International Equity Index and
the Emerging Markets Equity Funds who utilize The Bank of New York as custodian.
Fees of the Custodians are paid on the basis of the net assets of the Funds. The
Custodians play no role in determining the investment policies of the Trust or
which securities are to be purchased or sold in the Funds.

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-four portfolios: 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, the Classic Institutional U.S. Treasury Fund (collectively the
"Money Market Funds"), the Investment Grade Bond Fund, the Investment Grade
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Fund, the
Short-Term Bond Fund, the Capital Growth Fund, the Value Income Stock Fund, the
Sunbelt Equity Fund, the Mid-Cap Equity Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Florida
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the Georgia Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the Tennessee Tax-Exempt
Bond Fund, the U.S. Government Securities Fund, the Limited-Term Federal
Mortgage Securities Fund, the Small Cap Equity Fund, the International Equity
Fund, the International Equity Index Fund and the Emerging Markets Equity Fund
(collectively the "Non-Dollar 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
the Small Cap Equity Fund and the Emerging Markets Equity Fund (collectively the
"Funds").
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
SECURITY VALUATION -- Investment securities held by the Funds which are
listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are available
are valued at the last quoted sales price on 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
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 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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION -- The books and records of the International
Equity, the International Equity Index and the Emerging Markets Equity
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.
<PAGE>
The Emerging Markets Equity Fund 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 Fund 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 are declared and paid each calendar
quarter by the Small Cap Equity Fund. Distributions from net investment income
are declared and paid annually by the Emerging Markets Fund. 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 $653,100. 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.
The costs include legal fees of approximately $41,100 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, the Administrator and the Distributor 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 all
the Funds except the International Equity, the International Equity Index and
the Emerging Markets Equity Funds who utilize The Bank of New York as custodian.
Fees of the Custodians are paid on the basis of the net assets of the Funds. The
Custodians play no role in determining the investment policies of the Trust or
which securities are to be purchased or sold in the Funds.
6. Investment Transactions:
The cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales of securities, excluding
short-term investments for the period ended May 31, 1997, were as follows:
Purchases Sales
U.S. Government U.S. Government
Securities Other Securities Other
(000) (000) (000) (000)
--------------- ----- --------------- -----
Small Cap Equity Fund -- $138,246 -- $20,448
Emerging Market Equity Fund -- 39,912 -- 6,023
At May 31, 1997, the total cost of securities and the net realized gains or
losses on securities sold for Federal income tax purposes were not materially
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes. The aggregate
gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for securities held by the Funds
