NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STI CLASSIC FUNDS  May 31, 1999


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 thirty-four portfolios as of May 31, 1999:
the Balanced Fund, the Capital Appreciation Fund (formerly the Capital Growth
Fund), the Emerging Markets Equity Fund, the Growth and Income Fund, the
International Equity Fund, the International Equity Index Fund, the Life Vision
Balanced Portfolio, the Life Vision Growth and Income Portfolio, the Life Vision
Maximum Growth Portfolio, the Mid-Cap Equity Fund, the Small Cap Equity Fund,
the Small Cap Growth Stock Fund, the Sunbelt Equity Fund, the Tax Sensitive
Growth Stock Fund, the Value Income Stock Fund, (collectively the "Equity
Funds"), the Florida Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the Georgia Tax-Exempt Bond Fund,
Investment Grade Bond Fund, the Investment Grade Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, the
Limited-Term Federal Mortgage Securities Fund, the Maryland Municipal Bond Fund,
the Short-Term Bond Fund, the Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Fund, and the
U.S. Government Securities Fund, the Virginia Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund,
the Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, (collectively the "Fixed Income Funds"), the
Prime Quality Money Market Fund, the Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, the Tax-Free
Money Market Fund, the U.S. Government Securities, the U.S. Treasury Money
Market Fund (collectively the "Retail Money Market Funds"), the Classic
Institutional Cash Management Money Market Fund, the Classic Institutional U.S.
Government Securities Money Market Fund and the Classic Institutional U.S.
Treasury Securities Money Market Fund, (collectively the "Institutional Money
Market Funds" or the "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 financial statements presented herein are those of
the Institutional Money Market Funds. The financial statements of the Equity
Funds, the Fixed Income Funds and the Retail Money Market Funds are not
presented herein, but are presented separately.

On February 17, 1999 and February 22, 1999, respectively, the Board of Trustees
of the STI Classic Funds and Board of Trustees of the Arbor Funds approved an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization Agreement") providing
for the transfer of all assets and liabilities of certain of the Arbor Funds in
exchange for the issuance of shares in the Funds in a tax-free reorganization
(see Note 7).

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Trust:

     Basis of Presentation of Statements -- As more fully described in Note 7,
     the STI Classic Funds acquired certain Arbor Funds in a tax-free business
     combination. While each Fund now exists as a STI Classic Fund, one of the
     surviving funds for accounting purposes is an Arbor Fund. In accordance
     with generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements
     presented herein represent those of accounting survivors. Accordingly, the
     Statements of Operations, Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Financial
     Highlights presented reflect periods beginning on the first day of the
     accounting survivor's fiscal year.

     Security Valuation -- Investment securities held by the Funds are stated at
     amortized cost, which approximates market value.



16

<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


     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.

     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 Institutional U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market
     Fund has reclassified $2,000 from Undistributed Net Investment Income to
     Accumulated Net Realized Gain. This reclassification is attributable to the
     classification of short-term capital gains and ordinary income treatment
     for tax purposes. This reclassification has no effect on net assets or net
     asset value per share.


                                                                              17

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (concluded)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STI CLASSIC FUNDS  May 31, 1999


     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:

In April 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-5, "Reporting
on the Costs of Start-Up Activities." This SOP provides guidance on the
financial reporting of start-up costs and organization costs and requires costs
of start-up activities and organization costs to be expensed as incurred.
Investment companies that began operations prior to June 30, 1998 can adopt the
SOP prospectively. Therefore, previously capitalized organization costs will
continue to be amortized over a period of sixty months. Any future start-up or
organization costs will be expensed as incurred.

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, as amended November 19, 1997, 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
Trust) of: .12% up to $1 billion, .09% on the next $4 billion, .07% on the next
$3 billion, .065% on the next $2 billion
 and .06% for over $10 billion.

Prior to May 24, 1999, and May 17, 1999, administrative and accounting services
were provided to the Arbor U.S. Government Securities Money Fund and Prime
Obligations Fund, respectively, by SEI Investments Mutual Funds Services who was
entitled to receive a fee at an annual rate of .08% of the average daily net
assets of these funds. A portion of these fees were voluntarily waived.

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 Trusco Capital Management, Inc. (the "Investment Advisor")
have entered into an advisory agreement dated July 15, 1993.

Under terms of the respective agreements, the Funds are charged the following
annual fees based upon average daily net assets:

                                 Maximum       Institutional
                                 Annual            Share
                                Advisory          Maximum
                                   Fee            Expense
                               ------------     ------------

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Investment Advisor 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.

Prior to May 24, 1999, and May 17, 1999, Crestar Asset Management Company
("CAMCO") provided Investment Advisory services to certain Arbor Funds. CAMCO
was paid for advisory services to each Fund at an annual rate of .10% and .11%
of the average daily net assets for U.S. Government Securities Money and Prime
Obligations Funds, respectively.

SunTrust Bank, Atlanta, formerly Trust Company Bank, acts as custodian for the
Funds. Fees of the Custodian 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 Institutional U.S. Government Securities Fund invests 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 Classic Institutional 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.

7. Arbor Funds Merger:

The Board of Directors and shareholders of certain of the Arbor Funds approved a
reorganization of certain of the Arbor Funds into the STI Classic Funds which
took place at the close of business on May 17, 1999 for the Prime Obligations
Fund and May 24, 1999 for the U.S. Government Securities Money Fund.

The following table summarizes certain relevant information of the Funds prior
to and immediately after the business combinations on May 17, 1999 and May 24,
1999 and is unaudited:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 STI CLASSIC FUNDS  May 31, 1999



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, Classic Institutional U.S.
Government Securities Money Market, and Classic Institutional U.S. Treasury
Securities Money Market Funds of STI Classic Funds (the "Trust") as of May 31,
1999, 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. The statements of operations for the
year ended January 31, 1999, statements of changes for the years ended January
31, 1999 and January 31, 1998, and financial highlights for the periods
presented prior to May 31, 1999, for the Classic Institutional Cash Management
Money Market and Classic Institutional U.S. Government Securities Money Market
Funds were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 15, 1999,
expressed an unqualified opinion on this information.

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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of May 31, 1999, 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, Classic Institutional U.S.
Government Securities Money Market, and Classic Institutional U.S. Treasury
Securities Money Market Funds, of STI Classic Funds as of May 31, 1999, the
results of their operations, changes in their net assets, and financial
highlights for each of the periods described in the first paragraph above, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
