     CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
                                                                January 17, 1996
 
DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDER:
 
 The BNY Hamilton Funds are pleased to provide you with the annual report for
1995. This report covers the Equity Income Fund, Intermediate Government Fund
and Intermediate New York Tax-Exempt Fund.
 
 Total assets in the three Funds increased by 14% in 1995, from $238 million to
$271 million. During the year the Funds implemented new marketing initiatives
targeting the individual, retirement and institutional markets. In 1996, the
Funds will continue to build the shareholder and asset base by identifying and
serving new potential shareholders and distribution channels.
 
 Last year was very rewarding for investors in both stocks and bonds as the
combination of moderate economic growth, low inflation, declining interest
rates and improving corporate profits provided the perfect backdrop for finan-
cial assets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by more than 1200 points and
long term interest rates dropped by a full 2 percentage points.
 
 The Bank of New York, as investment adviser to the Funds, provides a team of
investment professionals who manage the Funds actively to take advantage of
changing market conditions.
 
 According to Kevin J. Bannon, Chief Investment Officer of The Bank of New
York, "we believe 1996 is likely to be another good year for long term invest-
ors, although returns will not match last year's extraordinary gains." Based on
the Bank's forecast of slower economic activity in 1996, growth in corporate
profits will also be less robust. An expansion in price/earnings ratios will be
the primary impetus for higher stock prices. In the stock market, companies
with predictable growth characteristics and global exposure will be favored. In
the bond market, intermediate term issues offer the most attractive opportunity
on a risk/reward basis.
 
BNY HAMILTON EQUITY INCOME FUND:
 
 The stock market enjoyed one of its strongest years ever in 1995, as investors
came to accept the fact that moderate growth and low inflation were not mutu-
ally exclusive in the context of an economy operating at high levels of re-
source utilization. In order to meet the Fund's objective of capital apprecia-
tion and income, investments were primarily focused in a strategic mix of divi-
dend paying stocks of growth oriented companies, convertible securities and
cash. In 1996, the Fund's stock selection will be focused on companies that in-
vestors are confident will deliver dependable earnings gains. These companies
are also likely to be accorded higher price/earnings ratios, potentially pro-
viding a double-barreled return. Careful stock selection will continue to be
complemented with an emphasis on higher income producing issues, including
utilities, convertible securities and real estate investment trusts. The Bank's
outlook for the stock market remains constructive for 1996.
 
 Net asset growth for 1995 was approximately 26%, increasing from $135 million
to $170 million.

 The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of common stocks and cannot be
invested in directly. The Index does not take into account fees and expenses.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and
principal will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be
worth more or less than their original cost. For comparative purposes, the
Index's July 31, 1992 value is used as the August 10, 1992 value.
 
BNY HAMILTON INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT FUND:
 
 1995 was a tremendous year for the bond market as the sharp decline in inter-
mediate and longer term interest rates produced strong double digit returns in
most fixed income securities. After one final tightening to head off inflation
pressures in February, the Federal Reserve began easing monetary policy gradu-
ally during the second half of the year in recognition of softening economic
activity. The Bank's outlook for the fixed income market remains positive as
bonds are expected to continue to provide strong single digit returns in an en-
vironment of slow growth and low inflation. Yield curve positioning in the 4-7
year maturity range and utilization of "spread product" such as mortgage-backed
securities will be emphasized in 1996.
 
 Net asset growth for 1995 was approximately 3%, increasing from $59 million to
$61 million.

performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal
value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth

BNY HAMILTON INTERMEDIATE NEW YORK TAX-EXEMPT FUND:
 
 The flat tax debate has been an important influence on the investment activity
in the Fund over the past year. The Bank expected this topic to attract in-
creasing attention in 1995 putting upward pressure on municipal yields compared
with taxable yields. Reflecting these concerns, the investment strategy for the
Fund was adjusted to incorporate a more defensive posture. New purchases were
limited to bonds with maturities no longer than seven years. Existing holdings
of bonds with maturities longer than ten years were also reviewed and changes
were made where deemed appropriate. The average maturity of the Fund on Decem-
ber 31, 1995 was 5 years, down from 6 years 4 months a year ago. The Bank ex-
pects that tax reform will be actively debated in the 1996 Presidential elec-
tion campaign, but does not anticipate the enactment of a flat tax any time
soon. The conservative structure of the portfolio will be maintained pending
some lifting of the flat tax clouds.
 
 Net assets decreased during 1995 by approximately 5%, from $43 million to $41
million.

     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
 
 The BNY Hamilton Funds, Inc. (the "Company") was organized as a Maryland Cor-
poration on May 1, 1992 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Company currently con-
sists of four series: BNY Hamilton Money Fund (not included herein), BNY Hamil-
ton Equity Income Fund, BNY Hamilton Intermediate Government Fund and BNY Ham-
ilton Intermediate New York Tax-Exempt Fund (individually, a "Fund" and collec-
tively, the "Funds").
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) SECURITY VALUATIONS
  BNY Hamilton Equity Income Fund (the "Equity Income Fund")
 Securities listed on a domestic securities exchange, including options on
stock indexes, are valued based on the last sale price as of the close of regu-
lar trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange or, in the absence of recorded
sales, at the average of readily available closing bid and asked prices on such
exchange. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted
sale price available before the time when net assets are valued. Unlisted secu-
rities traded only on the over the counter market are valued at the average of
the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market.
 
 The market value of a written call option or a purchased put option is the
last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which such option is
traded or, if no sales are reported, the average between the last reported bid
and asked prices.
 
  BNY Hamilton Intermediate Government Fund (the "Intermediate Government
  Fund") and BNY Hamilton Intermediate New York Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Inter-
  mediate New York Tax-Exempt Fund")
 Securities are valued using prices supplied daily by an independent pricing
service or services that (l) are based on the last sale price on a national se-
curities exchange, or in the absence of recorded sales, at the readily avail-
able closing bid price on such exchange or at the quoted bid price in the over-
the-counter market, if such exchange or market constitutes the broadest and
most representative market for the security, and (2) in other cases, take into
account various factors affecting market value, including yields and prices of
comparable securities, indications as to value from dealers and general market
conditions.
 
 Portfolio securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued
using the amortized cost method for all Funds.
 
 Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at
fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general
supervision and responsibility of the Board of Directors for all Funds.
 
(B) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 The Funds' custodian or designated sub-custodians, as the case may be under
tri-party repurchase agreements, takes possession of the collateral pledged for
investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying collateral is valued daily
on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value, including accrued interest,
is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obli-
gation to repurchase, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral and
apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligations. Under certain circum-
stances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agree-
ment, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal
proceedings.
 
(C) WRITTEN OPTIONS AND PURCHASED OPTIONS
 The Equity Income Fund enters into an option contract for the purpose of ei-
ther hedging its exposure to the market fluctuations of the portfolio, or

     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
 
an individual security position. The nature and risks associated with these se-
curities are explained further in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information.
 
 When the Equity Income Fund writes a call option, it will receive a premium.
Premiums received are recorded as liabilities and adjusted to current market
value daily. When a put option is purchased, the Equity Income Fund will pay a
premium. Premiums paid for put options are included as investments and are also
adjusted to their current market value daily.
 
 If a written call expires, the premium received by the Equity Income Fund will
be treated as a short term capital gain. Likewise, premiums paid for purchased
put options that expire unexercised will be treated as short term capital loss-
es. In addition, short term capital gains or losses may be realized on exer-
cised written calls or purchased puts depending on the premiums received or
paid and the strike price of the underlying securities.
 
 As a writer of call options, the Equity Income Fund may not have control over
the exercising of such options. As a result, the Equity Income Fund bears un-
limited market risk of favorable changes in the value of the call option's un-
derlying securities. The Equity Income Fund also bears unlimited market risk in
the value of the written call option itself.
 
 If an option which the Equity Income Fund has purchased expires on its stipu-
lated expiration date, the Equity Income Fund realizes a loss in the amount of
the cost of the option. If the Equity Income Fund enters into a closing trans-
action, it realizes a gain or loss, depending on whether the proceeds from the
sale are greater or less than the cost of the option. If the Equity Income Fund
exercises a put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the under-
lying security and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium
originally paid. If the Equity Income Fund exercises a call option, the cost of
the security which the Equity Income Fund purchases upon exercise will be in-
creased by the premium originally paid.
 
(D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The
Funds' policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute all of the taxable
and tax exempt income to the shareholders within the allowable time limits.
Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
 
(E) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
 The Intermediate Government Fund and the Intermediate New York Tax-Exempt Fund
declare dividends daily and pay dividends monthly. The Equity Income Fund de-
clares and pays dividends monthly.
 
 Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with in-
come tax regulations which may differ from methods used to determine the corre-
sponding income and capital gain amounts in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences are primarily caused by differences in
the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense, or cap-
ital gain. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassi-
fied in the Sources of Net Assets based upon their ultimate characterization
for Federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect
on net assets, results of operations, or net asset value of each Fund.
 
(F) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
 Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and
losses on security transactions are determined using the identified cost meth-
od. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income
is accrued daily. Discounts on securities purchased for all Funds except for
the Intermediate New York Tax-Exempt Fund and premiums on securities purchased
for the Intermediate New York Tax-Exempt Fund are amortized.

(G) ORGANIZATION COSTS
 Costs incurred in connection with the organization and initial registration of
the Funds are being amortized evenly over the period of benefit not to exceed
60 months from the date upon which each of the Funds commenced investment
operations.
 
3. ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 The Bank of New York acts as the Funds' investment adviser (the "Adviser").

crues daily and is payable monthly at the following annual rates:

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

 In addition to acting as Administrator, BNY Hamilton Distributors, Inc. is the
principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the Funds.
 
 The Bank of New York serves as the Funds' custodian and also serves as the
fund accounting agent.
 
 The Bank of New York and the Administrator have voluntarily agreed to
assume/waive expenses for the Intermediate New York Tax-Exempt Fund to the ex-
tent that expenses for that Fund exceeded .90% of average daily net assets.
There is currently no reimbursement of expenses with respect to the Equity In-
come Fund and the Intermediate Government Fund.
 
 The Company has adopted a distribution plan (The "12b-1 Plans") with respect
to each Fund. Under the 12b-1 Plans, the Funds will pay the Distributor for
distribution expenses incurred in connection with sales of shares of the Funds.
Payments for distribution expenses may not exceed .25% of each Fund's average
daily net assets. The Funds have not implemented the 12b-1 Plans since their
commencement of investment operations, and therefore no amounts have been ac-
crued for such fees in the accompanying financial statements.

     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


The Shareholders and Board of Directors of
BNY Hamilton Funds, Inc. (BNY Hamilton Equity Income Fund, BNY Hamilton Inter-
mediate
Government Fund, and BNY Hamilton Intermediate New York Tax-Exempt Fund):
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, of BNY Hamilton Funds, Inc. (BNY
Hamilton Equity Income Fund, BNY Hamilton Intermediate Government Fund, and BNY
Hamilton Intermediate New York Tax-Exempt Fund) as of December 31, 1995, the
related statements of operations for the year then ended and of changes in net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial
highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and for the
period August 10, 1992 (commencement of investment operations) to December 31,
1992. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Company'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 at
December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where
replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.
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 BNY
Hamilton Funds, Inc. (BNY Hamilton Equity Income Fund, BNY Hamilton
Intermediate Government Fund, and BNY Hamilton Intermediate New York Tax-Exempt
Fund) as of December 31, 1995, the results of their operations, the changes in
their net assets and the financial highlights for the respective stated
periods, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
                                                                January 17, 1996
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
  The BNY Hamilton Funds are pleased to provide you with the annual report for
1995. Growth in the Money Fund was strong. Net assets increased 176% to finish
the year at $947 million.
 
  At year-end 1995, the 7-day current yield for the Hamilton Class of the BNY
Hamilton Money Fund was 5.49%. The full year total return was 5.84%. For the
Premier Class, the 7-day current yield at year-end was 5.22% and the full year
total return was 5.54%. The 7-day current yield for the Classic Class, which
was opened on December 4th, was 4.99% at year-end.*
 
  Overnight repurchase agreements which were collateralized by U.S. Treasury
and Agency securities and commercial paper represented the largest asset sec-
tors in the Fund at year end. Analysis of interest rate trends, Federal Reserve
policy, supply and demand conditions in the money markets and spread relation-
ships are used to determine asset composition and maturities selection.
 
  The Federal Funds rate began and ended 1995 at the 5.50% level. After one fi-
nal tightening measure to head off inflation pressures in February, the Federal
Reserve began easing monetary policy gradually during the second half of the
year in recognition of softening economic activity. According to Kevin J.
Bannon, Chief Investment Officer at The Bank of New York (Investment Advisor),
"We expect the Federal Reserve to pursue a more aggressive easing of monetary
policy in 1996." The Bank projects a year of continuing moderate economic
growth of approximately 2.0% and low inflation of approximately 2.5% with the
primary risks to this forecast leaning in the direction of lower versus higher
rates.
 
  The Funds are pleased to announce the creation of a new class of shares, Ham-
ilton Classic Shares. The new class, started on December 4th to serve individ-
ual investors, provides a wider distribution network for the Fund.
 
  The BNY Hamilton Money Fund maintains a "AAAm" rating by Standard and Poor's.
According to Standard and Poor's, this rating is historical and based upon the
Fund's credit quality, market price exposure and management. The rating signi-
fies that the Fund's safety is excellent and that it has a superior capacity to
maintain its $1.00 net asset value per share. Additionally, the Fund is listed
on the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) approved list of
Class 1 Money Market Funds.
 
I would like to welcome all new BNY Hamilton Money Fund shareholders in the
Hamilton Class, Hamilton Premier Class, and Hamilton Classic Class and thank
all our existing shareholders for your investment in the Fund.
 
Sincerely,
 
/s/ Eugene J. Sullivan
Eugene Sullivan
Chairman of the Board

     Notes to Financial Statements
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
 
 The BNY Hamilton Funds, Inc. (the "Company") was organized as a Maryland Cor-
poration on May 1, 1992 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 as an open-end management investment company. The Company currently con-
sists of four series. The BNY Hamilton Money Fund (the "Fund") commenced in-
vestment operations on August 7, 1992. The Fund consists of three classes of
shares: Hamilton Shares, Hamilton Premier Shares, and Hamilton Classic Shares.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) SECURITY VALUATIONS
 Securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. This
method values a security at its cost at the time of purchase and thereafter as-
sumes a constant rate of amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.
 
(B) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 The Fund's custodian, or designated sub-custodians, as the case may be under
tri-party repurchase agreements, takes possession of the collateral pledged for
investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying collateral is valued daily
on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value, including accrued interest,
is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obli-
gation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and
apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligations. Under certain circum-
stances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agree-
ment, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal
proceedings.
 
(C) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 The Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The
Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute income to
shareholders within the allowable time limits. Therefore, no federal income tax
provision is required.
 
(D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
 Net investment income is declared daily and paid monthly.
 
(E) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
 Security transactions are recorded on the trade date and interest income is
accrued daily. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized
over the life of the respective securities.
 
 Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses) and realized gains and
losses, if any, are allocated to each class of shares based upon their relative
shares outstanding.
 
(F) ORGANIZATION COSTS
 Costs incurred in connection with the organization and initial registration of
the Fund are being amortized evenly over the period of benefit not to exceed 60
months from the date upon which the Fund commenced investment operations.
 
3. ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
 The Bank of New York acts as the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser").
The Adviser manages the investments of the Fund and is re-

sponsible for all purchases and sales of the Fund's portfolio securities. The
Adviser's fee is accrued daily and is payable monthly at the annual rate of
 .10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
 
 BNY Hamilton Distributors, Inc. acts as the Fund's administrator (the "Admin-
istrator") and will assist generally in supervising the operations of the Fund.
 
 The Administrator has agreed to provide facilities, equipment and personnel to
carry out administrative services for the Fund, including, among other things,
providing the services of persons who may be appointed as officers and direc-
tors of the Fund, monitoring the custodian, fund accounting, transfer agency,
administration, distribution, advisory and legal services that are provided to
the Fund.
 
 The Administrator's fee is accrued daily and is payable monthly at the annual
rate of .10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
 
 In addition to acting as Administrator, BNY Hamilton Distributors, Inc. is the
principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the Fund. The Bank of New
York serves as the Fund's custodian and also serves as the fund accounting
agent.
 
 BNY Hamilton Funds, Inc. has adopted a shareholder servicing plan, pursuant to
which Hamilton Premier Shares and Hamilton Classic Shares are sold to certain
institutions that enter into servicing agreements with BNY Hamilton Funds, Inc.
The Bank of New York and the Administrator (the "Shareholder Servicing Agents")
have each entered into Shareholder Service Agreements with respect to Hamilton
Premier Shares and Hamilton Classic Shares of the Fund. The Shareholder Servic-
ing Agents will perform shareholder support services. Pursuant to the Share-
holder Servicing Agreements, the Hamilton Premier Shares and Hamilton Classic
Shares will pay the Shareholder Servicing Agents an annual shareholder servic-
ing fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, of .25% of the Hamilton Premier
Shares' and Hamilton Classic Shares' respective average daily net assets. The
shareholder servicing plan does not cover, and the fees thereunder are not pay-
able to, Shareholder Organizations with respect to Hamilton Shares.
 
 The Fund has adopted a distribution plan ("12b-1 Plan") with respect to Hamil-
ton Classic Shares of the Fund, pursuant to which the Fund will pay BNY Hamil-
ton Distributors, Inc. for expenses incurred during the year in connection with
the distribution of Hamilton Classic Shares. The aggregate amount payable annu-
ally by the Fund as provided in the 12b-1 Plan may not exceed .25% of the Ham-
ilton Classic Shares' average daily net assets.

     Report of Independent Accountants

The Shareholders and Board of Directors of
BNY Hamilton Money Fund:
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, of BNY Hamilton Money Fund as of December 31,
1995, the related statements of operations for the year then ended and of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and
the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended
and for the period August 7, 1992 (commencement of investment operations)
through December 31, 1992. These financial statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Company'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 stan-
dards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial high-
lights 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 at Decem-
ber 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes as-
sessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by man-
agement, 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 BNY
Hamilton Money Fund as of December 31, 1995, the results of its operations, the
changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the respective
stated periods, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
