Dear Shareholder:

     We are pleased to present you the Performance Funds' annual report for the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1999. The Performance Funds comprise The Money Market
Fund, The Short Term Government Income Fund, The Intermediate Term Government
Income Fund, The Large Cap Equity Fund, The Mid Cap Equity Fund, and The Small
Equity Cap Fund. All funds are managed by Trustmark National Bank.

ECONOMIC REVIEW

     The Funds' May 31, 1999 fiscal year ended as the U. S. economy, now in its
ninth consecutive year of expansion, continued to deliver faster-than-expected
growth. GDP showed solid growth at 4.5% in the first quarter of this year, after
soaring at a 6% pace in the last quarter of 1998. The economic momentum in 1998
has continued into 1999 with particular strength in consumer spending,
construction activity, and capital expenditures.

     Annual GDP growth the past three years has been 3.9%, 3.8%, and 4.3% (all
above the Fed target of 2.5%), and the unemployment rate has steadily declined
from 5.6% to 4.2%, a 29-year low. Following its May policy meeting, the Fed
announced its "tightening bias" citing that improved foreign economic prospects,
a tight labor market, and continued consumer demand raised concerns that
"financial conditions may no longer be consistent with containing inflation."
The Fed's concern regarding a potential buildup of inflationary imbalances is
warranted. At the mid-June congressional summit on technology Chairman Greenspan
expressed concern that the "the growth of productivity cannot increase
indefinitely, and while productivity acceleration has not yet peaked, experience
does advise caution." He followed up these comments a week later in his
testimony before the Joint Economic Committee of Congress stating that "for the
period immediately ahead, inflationary pressures still seem well contained;
however, the persistence of certain imbalances pose a risk to the longer-run
outlook."

     Productivity, consumer spending, and global economic recovery (particularly
in Japan) will be major factors on future Fed policy. Should the Fed raise rates
at its June FOMC meeting, it could be regarded as a token rate adjustment, given
the Fed's three easings last year to thwart a global recession.

     On the following pages you will find a detailed discussion of each fund's
performance. As always, we appreciate your support, welcome your comments, and
encourage you to talk with your investment representative should you have any
questions about your funds.

Sincerely,
/s/ John J. Pileggi

                           PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S REPORT

                         PERFORMANCE MONEY MARKET FUND

     The Performance Money Market Fund provided investors with a return of 5.05%
for the Institutional Class and 4.79% for the Class A shares for the 12 month
period ended May 31, 1999. During this period, the 7-day yield of the Fund
fluctuated between a high yield of 5.29% on August 5 and a low yield of 4.54% on
April 14 with a closing yield of 4.68% on May 28, 1999 (Institutional Class
yields). During this 12 month period, the Federal Reserve lowered the target
rate for Fed Funds three times from a high rate of 5.50% to the current 4.75%
rate. This has had a direct impact on the Fund since the investments that the
Fund uses generally track the direction in which the Fed Funds rate moves. These
lower Fed Rates were in response to the worldwide turmoil in the later half of
1998. Also because of the conditions abroad, there was a severe "flight to
quality" which increased the demand for dollar denominated securities which
caused rates to decrease even further. These lower rates also helped to keep the
economy at home moving at a still blistering pace of about 4% since mid-1998.
This has caused the Fed to now begin looking at the possibility of inflation
heating up in the domestic economy which has caused short-term rates to increase
over the past few months.

     The Fund invests primarily in high-quality, short-term instruments such as
U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. Government Agency issues, bankers' acceptances,
commercial paper, and repurchase agreements. The Fund is considered a "first
tier" Fund as a result of the high quality of the Fund's holdings per the
respective ratings from Standard and Poor's and Moody's. An investment in the
Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any other
Government Agency. The Fund's objective is to maintain a stable NAV of $1.00 per
share. This has been accomplished since the Fund's inception, but there can be
no guarantee that it will be in the future and it is possible to lose money by
investing in the Fund.

                 PERFORMANCE SHORT TERM GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND

     Institutional and Class A shareholders of the Short Term Government Income
Fund received a return of 4.57% and 4.31%*, respectively, for the current fiscal
year. Ending share value was $9.79, down $.06 per share for the year. Average
share price was $9.89 with a high of $10.04, and a low of $9.79.

     This fiscal year proved to be an eventful time in the bond markets. Looking
back to June of 1998, we saw the Fed posturing for a rate increase because of
our full capacity labor force and an overheating economy. Within a few months,
however, the woeful financial events that occurred in Asia, Russia, and South
America sent global investors looking for safety in U.S. dollar denominated
securities. This heavy demand for quality drove our domestic interest rates down
to levels not seen in thirty years. The yield of the two-year Treasury Note fell
to as low as 3.85% in October, 1998. As foreign markets began to stabilize,
demand for Treasury Notes waned. In addition, domestic corporations issued huge
volumes of new debt to capture the low interest costs available. All the while,
our own economy remained very strong, especially with the added stimulus of
historically low interest rates. Consumer demand remained strong, the labor
force remained strong, and the economy outpaced sustainable levels. All these
conditions kept the Fed on red alert to contain inflation, and when the flight
to quality ended, bonds reacted to an imminent Fed rate increase. Short Term
bond yields quickly rose as much as 150 basis points, returning to levels
observed the beginning of this fiscal year.

     In spite of recent volatility, the Performance Short Term Government has
fared well in the past year providing a return comparable to cash rates. As the
smoke clears, we see excellent opportunities in short term bonds. High quality
corporate securities are now offering advantageous returns, and our recent
limited purchases reflect our interest in them. Short mortgage related
securities offer exceptional value, and the two-year Treasury Note is priced to
yield more than twice the current rate of inflation. Market conditions are
favorable to the short term market, and we continue to expect to achieve our
objective of providing a favorable alternative to money market investments,
while limited the risk of significant price change.

              PERFORMANCE INTERMEDIATE TERM GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND

     For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999, the Performance Intermediate Term
Government Income Fund returned 2.47% for the Institutional Class shareholders
and 2.11% for the Class A shareholders*. Share price, as measured by net asset
value, decreased from $10.34 on May 31, 1998 to $10.06 on May 31, 1999. The
Fund's objective is to provide a higher level of current income with total
return, which consists of income and capital preservation, also an important
consideration. The Fund primarily invests in U. S. government securities and
investment grade corporate bonds. While there is no maximum maturity for an
individual issue, the Fund itself will normally have an average maturity between
three to ten years.

     For the first half of the fiscal year the bond market was the prime
beneficiary of "flight to quality" as global investors sought refuge in its
safety and liquidity, accentuated by global asset & currency devaluation and an
accommodating Federal Reserve. Bond yields, as measured by the 30-year Treasury
Bond, fell from 5.80% in May, 1998 to as low as 4.71% in October, 1998. The
second half of the fiscal year saw bond yields soar to as high as 5.92% in May,
1999 as the unprecedented economic expansion began to fuel inflation fears and
the adoption of a "tightening bias" by the Fed in May. This resulted in the peak
spread (114 bps in 10/98) between the 2-year Treasury Note and the 30-year
Treasury Bond to fall to only 41 basis points on May 31st as the yield curve
flattened. For the twelve month period Treasuries returned only 4.35%, U. S.
Agencies 4.53%, U. S. Corporates 3.18%, Asset Backed Securities 4.94%, and
Mortgage Backed Securities 4.87%.

     After aggressively easing the Fed Funds rate three times and the Discount
Rate twice last fall from 5.50% to 4.75% and from 5.00% to 4.50%, respectively,
the Fed's action appears to have avoided an economic downturn; however, the
continued strength of the U. S. economy, as evidenced by recent economic
releases, has the Fed on the inflation watch.

     The Fund continues to be managed recognizing that market and economic
conditions are constantly changing, which can and does affect the Fund's
composition. Please be mindful that while volatility can be extreme at times, it
does afford opportunities to acquire securities at more attractive valuations.

     We appreciate your participation in The Performance Intermediate Term
Government Income Fund.

The charts above represent a comparison of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in
the indicated share class versus a similar investment in the Fund's benchmark.

Performance of the Class B shares, which commenced operations on 10/2/98 is
based on the historical performance of the Class A shares prior to that date.
The performance of Class A shares and Class B shares do not reflect the higher
12b-1 fees or the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). Had the higher 12b-1
fees and the CDSC been incorporated, total return and hypothetical growth
figures would have been lower.

Past performance is not a prediction of future results. The Fund's investment
return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original purchase price.

                       PERFORMANCE LARGE CAP EQUITY FUND

     For the twelve months period ending May 31, 1999 the Large Cap Equity Fund
returned 18.25% to the Institutional Class shareholders and 17.92% to the Class
A shareholders **. This compares to the S&P 500 Index which returned 20.35%.

     The performance of the Fund was favorably impacted by holdings in the
technology sector. During the period Cisco Systems was up 116%, International
Business Machines was up 98%, and Microsoft increased 90%. Companies in the
communications sector also contributed with MCI Worldcom returning 89% and
Sprint Corporation rising 79%. American International Group, in the finance
sector, also aided performance with a 38% return. Some holdings in the consumer
staple and services areas penalized results. Notably, Coca-Cola and Gillette
were both down approximately 12% and Disney fell 22%.

     We expect the rotation to continue as the market digests the recent changes
in interest rates and inflation. Our efforts and resources continue to be
directed at security selection and not market timing. Listed below are the 10
largest holdings in the Fund at May 31, 1999.

asset value will fluctuate so that investors shares when redeemed may be worth
more or less than the original cost.

returned -1.06% to the Institutional Class shareholders and -1.31% to the Class
A shareholders**. This compares to the S&P MidCap 400 Index which returned

energy sector. During the period Varco International was down 65% and Valero
Energy was down 38%. Other positions which hurt performance included Cadence
Design (down 63%), International Game Tech (down 28%), and Clayton Homes (down
23%). The fund's relative returns were also hurt because a handful of large,
very expensive stocks drove the results of the MidCap Index. For example,
America Online at one time represented approximately eight percent of the
capital weight of the Index and alone contributed about seven percentage points
to the return of the MidCap Index. By not holding this and a few other issues,
the Fund struggled to keep up with the benchmark.

     Some holdings did well. Comdisco, Inc., which provides technology services,
returned 34% while medical device maker Stryker Corp. increased 46%. In the
retailing sector, Tiffany and Company went up 74% while Claire's Stores, Inc.
increased by 56% and BJ's Wholesale Club, Inc. was up 31%. Motorcycle
manufacturer Harley-Davidson, Inc. also did well, returning 43%.

     The Fund focuses on those companies in the MidCap Index we believe to have
increasing earnings prospects and attractive valuations. Over time, the
investment return of an issue will roughly match the operating results of the
business. Therefore, we will continue to focus our attention on the business
results of individual companies and not on market timing. Listed below are the
10 largest holdings in the Fund at May 31, 1999.

 * Portfolio composition is subject to change. Ten largest holdings' percentages
   are based upon net assets as of May 31, 1999.

** The total returns for Class A, after the maximum sales load of 5.25%, was
   -6.48% for the current fiscal year.

The Fund's performance is compared to the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Stock
Index, which is a capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of
the mid-range sector of U.S. stock market where the median market capitalization
is approximately $700 million. The index is unmanaged, and does not reflect the
deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management
and fund accounting fees.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and net
asset value will fluctuate so that investors shares when redeemed may be worth
more or less than the original cost.

The charts above represent a comparison of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in
the indicated share class versus a similar investment in the Fund's benchmark.

Performance of the Class B shares, which commenced operations on 10/2/98 is
based on the historical performance of the Class A shares prior to that date.
The performance of Class A shares and Class B shares do not reflect the higher
12b-1 fees or the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). Had the higher 12b-1
fees and the CDSC been incorporated, total return and hypothetical growth
figures would have been lower.

Past performance is not a prediction of future results. The Fund's investment
return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original.

                       PERFORMANCE SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND

     For the twelve months ended May 31, 1999, the Small Cap Equity Fund
returned -17.25% (Institutional Class) and -17.57% (Class A shares)**. This
compares to the S&P 600 SmallCap Index, which returned -7.53% for the same
period.

     Catalina Marketing Corp. (1.48%) returned 96% while CTS Corp. (1.40%) was
up 81% for the period, helping to offset the poor market returns for the period.
Negative factors affecting the Fund's performance were twofold. First, we did
not participate in several large growth names including VISX Inc. and Medimmune
with returns of +322% and +155% respectively. Second, selected companies in the
Health and Financial sectors had an adverse effect on the fund. Orion Capital
Corp. (1.46%), for example, returned -47% while Safeskin Corp. (1.25%) returned
- -64%.

     Small capitalization companies are trading at relative historic lows
providing us with a favorable environment to reach our objective of long term
capital growth. We continue to search for higher quality companies in our
universe that trade at reasonable valuations.

The charts above represent a comparison of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in
the indicated share class versus a similar investment in the Fund's benchmark.

Performance of the Class B shares, which commenced operations on 10/2/98 is
based on the historical performance of the Class A shares prior to that date.
The performance of Class A shares and Class B shares do not reflect the higher
12b-1 fees or the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). Had the higher 12b-1
fees and the CDSC been incorporated, total return and hypothetical growth
figures would have been lower.

Past performance is not a prediction of future results. The Fund's investment
return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original.

Government Income Fund, The Intermediate Term Government Income Fund, The Large
Cap Equity Fund, The Mid Cap Equity Fund (formerly, the Mid Cap Growth Fund),
and The Small Cap Equity Fund (formerly, the Small Cap Fund), collectively (the
"Funds"), or individually (the "Fund"), each, with the exception of The Short
Term Government Income Fund, with three classes of shares, the Institutional
Class, Class A (formerly, Consumer Service Class), and Class B (commenced
operations on October 2, 1998). The Short Term Government Income Fund offers the
Institutional Class and Class A shares only. The classes differ primarily with
respect to the level of Distribution Fees borne by each share class. In
addition, certain redemption of Class B shares are subject to contingent
deferred sales charges in accordance with the Fund's prospectus. Currently, six
of the portfolios are active and one, The U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, has
not yet commenced operations.

     The Funds' investment objectives are as follows:

        The Money Market Fund -- as high a level of current income as is
        consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity.

        The Short Term Government Income Fund -- as high a level of current
        income as is consistent with limiting the risk of potential loss.

        The Intermediate Term Government Income Fund -- a high level of current
        income, with a secondary objective of total return.

        The Large Cap Equity Fund -- long-term capital appreciation by investing
        primarily in common stocks of U.S. companies with market capitalization
        exceeding $1 billion at the time of purchase.

        The Mid Cap Equity Fund -- to achieve growth of capital by attempting to
        outperform the S&P MidCap Index.

        The Small Cap Equity Fund -- long-term capital appreciation by investing
        in smaller-capitalized common stocks.

     2. Significant Accounting Policies.  The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from
those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial
statements:

          Security Valuation.  Securities listed on a national exchange or
     exchanges for which market quotations are available are valued at their
     last quoted sale price on each business day. If there is no such reported
     sale, the most recently quoted bid price is used. Over-the-counter
     securities are valued on the basis of the bid price at the close of
     business on each business day. The Money Market Fund values its securities
     at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which no
     market quotation is readily available are valued at fair value as
     determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

          Security Transactions and Related Investment Income.  Security
     transactions are accounted for on the trade date with realized gain or loss
     on the sale of investments determined by using the identified cost method.
     Corporate actions (including cash dividends) are recorded on the ex-date or
     as soon after the ex-date as the fund becomes aware of such action, net of
     any non-refundable tax withholdings. Interest income (including
     amortization of premium and accretion of discount) is recorded as earned.

          Repurchase Agreements.  The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements
     with government securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board,
     with member Banks of the Federal Reserve System or with such other brokers
     or dealers that meet the credit guidelines established by the Board of
     Trustees. It is the Funds' policy to receive and maintain securities as
     collateral whose market value, including accrued interest, will be at least
     100% of the dollar amount invested by that Fund in each agreement, and that
     Fund will make payment for such securities only upon physical delivery or
     upon evidence of book entry transfer to the account of the custodian. To
     the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, it is
     the Funds' policy that the value of the collateral be marked to market on a
     daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller
     defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy
     proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security,
     realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

          Determination of Net Asset Value and Calculation of
     Expenses.  Expenses specific to an individual Fund are charged to that
     Fund, while the expenses that are attributable to more than one fund of the
     Trust are allocated among the respective funds. Investment income, realized
     and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific
     expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the
     proportion of shares outstanding attributed to each class at the beginning
     of each day. In addition, distribution expenses that are attributable to a
     specific class are charged only to that class.

          Dividends and Distributions.  The Money Market, The Short Term
     Government Income and The Intermediate Term Government Income Funds declare
     dividends daily and pay those dividends monthly. The Large Cap Equity, The
     Mid Cap Equity and The Small Cap Equity Funds declare and pay dividends
     monthly. Each Fund will distribute, at least annually, substantially all
     net capital gains, if any, earned by such Fund. The Funds record all
     dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date.

          The amounts of dividends from net investment income and of
     distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with
     federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
     accounting principles. The "book/tax" differences are either considered
     temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are
     permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition
     of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary
     differences do not require reclassification.

          Dividends and distributions to shareholders which exceed net
     investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting
     purposes but not for tax purposes are reported as distributions in excess
     of net investment income or distributions in excess of net realized gains.
     To the extent they exceed net investment income and net realized gains for
     tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital.

          As of May 31, 1999, the following reclassifications have been made to
     increase/(decrease) such accounts with offsetting adjustments made to
     capital:

Fund, respectively.

     Pursuant to a Custodian Agreement between the Trust and Trustmark National

services, Trustmark is entitled to a fee computed daily and paid monthly, based
on average daily net assets, at the annual rate of 0.04%. For the year ended May

     4. Administration, Distribution, Fund Accounting and Transfer Agency
Agreements.  BISYS Fund Services ("BISYS LP"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The

administrator and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and
operation. Such officers and trustees are paid no fees directly by the Funds for
serving as officers and trustees of the Funds. The Administrator is entitled to
a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.15% of the
average net assets of the Funds. For the year ended May 31, 1999, BISYS LP
waived administrator fees of $397,652 for the Money Market Fund.

     Under a Distribution Plan adopted by the Funds under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940

Performance Funds Distributor, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc., up to an annual rate of 0.35% and
1.00% of the respective average daily net assets attributable to such shares for
costs and expenses of the Distributor in connection with the distribution of the
Class A and Class B shares. No such fees will be paid by the Institutional
Class. In addition, BISYS has the right, as principal underwriter, to purchase
Fund shares at their net asset value and to sell such shares to the public, or
to dealers who have entered into selected dealer agreements with the
Distributor, in both cases against orders for such shares.

     For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999, BISYS received $197,141 from
commissions earned on sales of the Performance Funds of which $22,460 was

PERFORMANCE FUNDS TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) -- May 31, 1999

     7. Concentration of Credit Risk.  In the pursuit of its minimum credit risk
policy, The Money Market Fund maintains a diversified portfolio of money market
instruments, each of which matures in 397 days or less and is rated in the
highest rating category of at least two nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations, or, if not rated, is judged by the Board of Trustees to be of
comparable quality. The ability of the issuer of the instruments to meet its
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
region.

     8. Federal Income Taxes.  It is the policy of each Fund to qualify or
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the
provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable
sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net
investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from
all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

     At May 31, 1999, the following funds had net capital loss carryforwards to
offset future net capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by the Treasury
regulations:

The Small Cap Equity Fund...................................   1,553,247     2007

     To the extent that these carryforwards are used to offset future capital
gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed to
shareholders.

     9. Federal Income Taxes Information (unaudited).  During the fiscal year
ended May 31, 1999 the Funds declared long term capital gain distributions as
follows:

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Trustees of
Performance Funds Trust

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Money Market Fund, the Short
Term Government Income Fund, the Intermediate Term Government Income Fund, the
Large Cap Equity Fund, the Mid Cap Equity Fund and the Small Cap Equity Fund
(separate portfolios constituting Performance Funds Trust, hereafter referred to
as the "Funds") at May 31, 1999, the results of each of their operations for the
year then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets and the financial
highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and financial
highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities as of May 31, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.
