LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
We are pleased to report that the year ended September 30, 1996, was a strong
one for the financial markets and for the BB&T Mutual Funds. During the period,
the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained more than 900 points --and all
industries participated in the market's climb. While the environment in the
fixed-income markets was more difficult, bonds, too, posted positive returns
for the period.
 
The past year also saw investors entrusting record amounts to mutual funds.
We're pleased to report that because of our fund family's solid performance
during its first four years of operation, many chose to invest with us. Total
net assets under management grew by 53%, climbing from $540 million to $826
million over the 12-month period ended September 30, 1996.
 
BB&T FUNDS WIN RECOGNITION
 
We're also pleased to announce that several of the BB&T Funds have been awarded
four-star ratings from Morningstar in recent weeks. The BB&T North Carolina
Tax-Exempt Fund (Trust Shares), the BB&T Balanced Fund (Trust Shares) and the
BB&T Growth and Income Fund (Trust Shares and Class A Shares) all received this
above-average rating. (The North Carolina Tax-Exempt Fund was rated among 1,013
municipal funds for the 3-year period ending September, 30, 1996, the Balanced
Fund among 3,059 hybrid funds, and the Growth and Income Fund among 1,708
equity funds for the same period.)/1/
 
In addition, while it is just under two years old and too new to be tracked by
Morningstar, the BB&T Small Company Fund has also been recognized as an
outstanding performer. In the October 4, 1996, edition of The Wall Street
Journal, the Fund was ranked fifth among the top 15 small-company mutual funds
in the Mutual Fund Scorecard based on its total return for the year ended
September 30, 1996, by Lipper Analytical Services. In addition, the Fund was
ranked 24th among the 50 top-performing stock funds (in all stock fund
categories) by Lipper Analytical Services for the year ended September 30, 1996
(The Wall Street Journal, October 4, 1996)./2/
 
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND TO BE LAUNCHED IN JANUARY*
 
Many investment experts recommend that a well-balanced portfolio include an
international component. Consequently, in our continuing effort to provide our
shareholders with a wide range of investment opportunities to better serve
their needs, we plan to launch the BB&T International Equity Fund in early
January 1997. Intended for long-term growth investors, the Fund will invest in
Japan, the United Kingdom and Continental Europe, as well as a number of
emerging markets around the world./3/
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
/1/Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance
   through 9/30/96. The ratings are subject to change every month. Morningstar
   ratings are calculated from a fund's 3-, 5- and 10-year returns (with fee
   adjustments) in excess of 90-day Treasury bill returns. The 1-year rating is
   calculated using the same methodology, but is not a component of the overall
   rating. Ten percent of the funds in an investment category receive 5 stars,
   22.5% receive 4 stars and 35% receive 3 stars. For the 1-year period, the
   North Carolina Tax-Exempt Fund (Trust Shares) received 3 stars and was rated
   among 1,745 municipal funds; the Balanced Fund (Trust Shares) received 4
   stars and was rated among 5,251 hybrid funds; and the Growth & Income Fund
   (Trust and Class A Shares) received 5 and 4 stars, respectively, and was
   rated among 3,006 equity funds.
/2/The Fund was ranked among 348 small-company funds. Performance rankings are
   based on total returns for the period. Rankings apply to Trust Shares.
 
A portion of the Fund's fees have been voluntarily waived. If the fees had not
been waived, the Fund's total return for the period would have been lower. Past
performance is no guarantee of future results.
 
/3/International investing involves special risks.

NEW FUNDS FOR 401(K) INVESTORS*
 
In the first quarter of 1997, we also expect to launch three asset allocation
funds designed to meet the needs of 401(k) investors. The BB&T Capital Manager
Growth Fund is intended for aggressive long-term growth investors, the BB&T
Moderate Growth Fund for more cautious growth investors and the BB&T
Conservative Growth Fund, for those with shorter time horizons. The portfolios
of these three funds will be allocated among the BB&T Mutual Funds according to
their investment objectives.
 
IN CLOSING . . .
 
We urge you to read the following report closely. In it, you will find a
detailed discussion of the performance of each of the BB&T Mutual Funds during
the year ended September 30, 1996.
 
Finally, we thank you for your continued confidence in us. We look forward to
providing you with the investment management you expect and serving your
investment needs now and in the future. As always, if you have any questions or

LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
The year ended September 30, 1996, was a very good one for U.S. companies and,
in turn, for the financial markets. The economic recovery entered its sixth
year--making it the third longest recovery in the past 50 years. This
recovery, which has been marked by modest growth, low inflation and growing
corporate earnings, continued to provide the backdrop as the Dow Jones
Industrial Average rose through 5000 and approached 6000.
 
The environment in the bond markets was more challenging as interest rates
spiked on news of the economy's continued and surprising strength. Nonetheless,
while the year was a bumpy one at times for fixed-income investors, it was also
a positive one overall.
 
FUNDAMENTALS ARE STILL SOLID
 
Accounting for some two-thirds of all economic activity, consumers were, as
always, key to the economy's strength -- and it was a good year for consumers,
too. As the pace of job creation held steady and unemployment declined,
consumer confidence rose and spending increased. Industries across the board
benefited, including those that generally do not do well in rising interest-
rate environments. In fact, in recent months, auto sales rose and housing
starts reached their highest levels in two years. Clearly, consumers are still
optimistic about their own prospects and the economy's in the year ahead.
 
All this good news, however, has been worrisome for the bond markets.
Traditionally, high consumer confidence and increased economic activity have
foreshadowed an acceleration in inflation. But evidence to date of rising
inflationary pressures along the production pipeline has been scarce. Commodity
prices are down. Wholesale prices are climbing, but at tame levels. Wage
pressure is growing, but not at a pace significantly higher than inflation. In
addition, this recovery has been production-led over the past six years. More
efficient and profitable after years of modernizing and downsizing,
corporations are well positioned to pay higher wages. Higher wages could help
sustain the economy's growth and, in fact, fuel further advances in the year
ahead.
 
COOLING, BUT HARDLY COLD

Beyond this possibility of a slight inflationary push from wage increases, we
see very little on the horizon that would indicate our economy is about to
enter a superheated or runaway phase. Nor do we expect to see a recession. Of
course, there are some areas that bear watching. Despite the improving
competitive position of U.S. firms and the relatively low trade-weighted value
of the dollar, our trade deficit is at a five-year high. In addition, in recent
months, credit-card delinquencies have reached record levels. Traditionally,
this has not been the case in a strong economy.
 
A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR STOCKS AND BONDS
 
A slow-growth, low-inflation environment should be good for stocks and bonds.
Over the past several years, market volatility has moved in one direction--
upward. At current valuations, stocks are not cheap. Moreover, after years of
accelerating earnings, investors' expectations for many stocks are
extraordinarily high--and earnings are beginning to decelerate, which may
disappoint investors.
 
In addition, on a risk-adjusted basis, bonds continue to appear attractive. The
stock market is richly valued, while bond yields remain high relative to
historical inflation-adjusted levels.

PERFORMANCE REPORT
 
THE GROWTH AND INCOME STOCK FUND
 
Crashing through the 5000 level and then moving to within a hairsbreadth of
6000 on the Dow, the market raced higher during the year ended September 30,
1996. However, in sectors of the market where expectations were high, such as
technology and large-capitalization companies, the ride upward was a bumpy one.
However, our diversified value investing approach helped cushion some of the
stock market's recent volatility, while allowing investors to participate in
its rise.
 
For the 12 months ended September 30, 1996, the Fund outperformed its
benchmark, posting a total return of 20.97% (Class A Shares without the sales
charge)/4/ versus a return of 20.24% for the S&P 500 Stock Index. Even more
impressively, this gain was achieved at a level of risk below that of the S&P
500 (as measured by standard deviation).
 
A MOVE TO MID-CAPS
 
Given the current heady levels of stock prices, we expect to approach the
markets cautiously in the months ahead. Moreover, as the market has moved
significantly higher throughout the past year, value among larger-
capitalization stocks has become harder to find. On the other hand, mid-
capitalization companies -- those slightly smaller -- appear to offer some
interesting opportunities.
 
We continue to invest in a broad range of stocks with every major economic
sector of our economy represented in your portfolio. We believe these stocks
are attractively priced and will participate in a rising market, but are less
exposed to earnings disappointments. In other words, we feel that they offer
solid growth potential at a reasonable level of risk.
 
As of September 30, 1996, the Fund's top five holdings were SAFECO (2.60%),
Pitney Bowes (2.59%), Harris (2.43%), Anheuser-Busch (2.38%) and Phillips
Petroleum (2.31%)./5/
 
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
/4/With the maximum sales charge of 4.50%, the Fund's total return for the 12-
   month period was 15.54% (Class A Shares).
/5/The composition of the Fund's portfolio is subject to change.

The performance of the BB&T Growth and Income Stock Fund is measured against
the S&P 500 Stock Index, an unmanaged index generally considered to be
representative of the performance of the U.S. stock market as a whole. The
index is unmanaged and does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated
with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The
Fund's performance reflects the deduction of fees for these value-added
services.

THE BB&T SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND/6/
 
Strong stock selection and sector allocation were the keys to the Fund's
exceptional performance during the year ended September 30, 1996. In the second
half of 1995 and throughout the early part of 1996, the portfolio's exposure in
technology was gradually reduced, and we shifted our focus to the software and
telecommunication industries.
 
Also, early in the period, we moved aggressively into the outsourcing sector.
Consequently, the Fund benefited handsomely as the popularity of
nontraditional, sophisticated temporary employment firms soared. The Fund's
holdings in health-care stocks, particularly in smaller pharmaceutical
companies, also made substantial contributions to performance. As a result, for
the year ended September 30, 1996, the Fund beat its industry benchmark
handily, posting a gain of 44.94% (Class A Shares without the sales charge)/7/,
versus a gain of 13.13% for the Russell 2000.
 
OPTIMISTIC ON SMALL-CAP PROSPECTS
 
While we expect the Fund to continue to perform well as it follows its present
strategy, we also believe there is some reason for caution. After six years of
a bull market, investors' expectations are now extremely high -- and the
performance of some stocks could disappoint investors in the months ahead as
earnings slow. In addition, any increase in interest rates could put pressure
on stocks.
 
Nonetheless, we are optimistic about the prospects for small-capitalization
stocks. Historically, in periods of slow growth, investors have turned to this
sector for growth they can't find elsewhere. Moreover, even in the toughest
markets, we have been able to find many interesting and attractive
possibilities in the small-cap arena. In the months ahead, we expect to find
such opportunities in industries involved in moving information, such as the
fiber-optic, wireless communication and software sectors.
 
As of September 30, 1996, the Fund's top five holdings were: Jones Medical
Industries (2.40%), APAC Teleservices (2.12%), Dura Pharmaceuticals (2.04%),
Accustaff (1.98%) and Aspen Technologies (1.93%)./8/
 
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
/6/Small-capitalization companies typically carry additional risks since smaller
   companies generally have a higher risk of failure. Historically, stocks of
   smaller companies have experienced a greater degree of market volatility than
   stocks on average.
 
/7/With the maximum sales charge of 4.50%, the Fund's total return for the 12-
   month period was 38.46% (Class A Shares).
 
/8/The composition of the Fund's holdings is subject to change.

THE BB&T BALANCED FUND
 
Our value-oriented approach to stock selection helped the Fund's performance
during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996. While stocks across the board
moved higher, stocks selected based on value-oriented strategies were less
vulnerable to earnings disappointments and subsequent investor disenchantment
than those of many of the companies that dominated the headlines. Consequently,
the Fund's equity holdings performed strongly and steadily throughout the year.
 
The environment for bonds was more challenging as interest rates spiked higher
when news of the economy's strength surprised investors in early 1996.
Nonetheless, for the period, the Fund's fixed-income securities, too, posted
positive returns.
 
As a result, for the year ended September 30, 1996, we are pleased to report
that the Fund outperformed industry averages for funds of this type. The total
return of 12.43% (Class A Shares without the sales charge)/9/ fell between the
returns of its two benchmarks, the S&P 500 Stock Index and the Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Government Bond Index, which had returns of 20.24% and 5.10%,
respectively.
 
POSITIONED FOR GROWTH AND STABILITY
 
In managing the Fund, we seek to provide our investors with growth while
controlling risks. To this end, as stock prices have skyrocketed in recent
months, we have redoubled our efforts to seek value -- and we are finding
opportunities among second-tier "blue-chip" companies, companies just slightly
smaller than the very largest "blue-chip" firms.
 
Also, we believe that bonds now offer investors slightly better returns than
stocks on a risk-adjusted basis. As a result, in recent months we have reduced
the equity allocation of the portfolio slightly in favor of fixed-income
investments, more specifically, securities in the intermediate range. In
addition, in an effort to dampen the volatility of the fixed-income portion of
the portfolio, we have added positions in mortgage pass-through securities.
Consequently, as of September 30, 1996, approximately 44% of the portfolio was
invested in stocks, 51% in bonds and 5% in cash or cash equivalents.
 
As of the same date, the Fund's top five equity holdings were Phillips
Petroleum (1.42%), Bristol-Myers Squibb (1.37%), SAFECO (1.16%), Schering-
Plough (1.10%) and Abbott Laboratories (1.02%). The Fund's fixed-income
holdings remained concentrated in U.S. Treasury securities. The average
maturity of the securities in the portfolio was about 5 years, and the average
credit quality was AAA./10/

    month period was 7.37% (Class A Shares).

THE BB&T INTERMEDIATE U.S. GOVERNMENT BOND FUND AND
THE BB&T SHORT-INTERMEDIATE U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND
 
After posting tremendous gains in 1995, the fixed-income markets reversed
direction in 1996 as interest rates rose on news of the economy's continued
strength and uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve Board's possible next
move. We have responded to weakness in the fixed-income markets by shortening
our interest-rate sensitivity (duration) and increasing exposure to other
sectors, such as corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities, to improve
yield and total return.
 
Investors' interest in yield-enhancing securities has propelled sectors other
than U.S. Treasury debt to perform better on a relative basis. Corporate bonds,
riding a wave of reasonably strong profitability reports, benefitted. In
addition, mortgage-backed securities responded favorably to limited supply and
an overall decline in volatility levels.
 
The BB&T Intermediate U.S. Government Bond Fund posted a total return of 3.17%
(Class A Shares without the sales charge)/11/ for the year ended September
30, 1996, and the BB&T Short-Intermediate U.S. Government Income Fund advanced
4.09% (Class A Shares without the sales charge)/12/ during the same period.
 
SLOWER GROWTH BODES WELL
 
In the future, we expect to see bonds strengthen as the economy's growth slows
and inflationary pressures ease. We look forward to extending the duration of
the portfolios given solid evidence of a slowdown in economic activity combined
with moderate inflation. In the short term, however, uncertainty over the
direction of interest rates has led us to maintain average maturities in both
funds that are somewhat shorter than the Funds' benchmarks, making them less
vulnerable to changes in interest rates. As always, we continue to seek out
opportunities to enhance the total return to our shareholders.
 
As of September 30, 1996, the average maturity of the Intermediate U.S.
Government Bond Fund was 6.4 years; for the Short-Intermediate U.S. Government
Income Fund, it was 2.7 years. As is characteristic of our investment process,
the fixed-income portfolios remain fully invested and are heavily concentrated
in debt obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies./13/

THE BB&T NORTH CAROLINA INTERMEDIATE TAX-FREE FUND/14/
 
Along with the taxable fixed-income markets, municipal markets across the
country weakened as interest rates rose in 1996. Supply was relatively light as
rates began moving upward and dwindled noticeably as higher interest rates made
it difficult for many municipalities to bring new issues to market. As a
result, bond prices in the municipal markets -- particularly in those markets
known for high quality such as North Carolina -- were more stable than in the
taxable markets throughout the period.
 
Given the environment, however, we approached the market cautiously during the
12 months ended September 30, 1996. As interest rates rose, maturities were
gradually extended in an effort to enhance yield. As always, however, quality
was our chief concern in the selection of all securities. For the year ended
September 30, 1996, the Fund posted a total return of 2.61% (Class A Shares
without the sales charge)./15/
 
STRONG DEMAND FOR NORTH CAROLINA SECURITIES CONTINUES
 
At the current level of interest rates, we expect supply to tighten in the
months ahead. Moreover, given the scrutiny that each issue is subjected to by
the Local Government Commission in North Carolina, issues from the state have a
well-deserved reputation for high quality -- which has led investors around the
country to the North Carolina market. As a result, strong demand should support
prices of North Carolina municipal securities in the coming months.
 
As of September 30, 1996, the Fund held laddered maturities of high-quality
North Carolina bonds. The average maturity of these holdings was 6.04 years;
the average credit quality was AA. Approximately 87% of the Fund's assets are
invested in general obligations bonds and 8% in high-quality revenue bonds. The
remainder is held in cash or cash equivalents. Currently, no one issuer
accounts for more than 9% of the portfolio./16/

Past performance is not predictive of future results. Investment return and the
principal value of shares in the BB&T Mutual Funds will fluctuate so that
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. A
portion of the Fund's fees have been voluntarily waived. If the fees had not
been waived, the Fund's total return for the period would have been lower. Past
performance is no guarantee of future results.
 
The performance of the BB&T North Carolina Tax-Free Fund is measured against
the Lehman Brothers 5-Year General Obligations Index, widely used as a broad
measure of the performance of tax-exempt municipal securities with an average
maturity of five years. The index is unmanaged and does not reflect the
deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment
management and fund accounting fees. The Fund's performance reflects the
deduction of fees for these value-added services.

THE BB&T U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND/17/
 
The economy's strength continually surprised investors throughout the year
ended September 30, 1996. As a result, the markets were volatile as investors
spent much of the period expecting some action by the Federal Reserve.
 
Given the environment, we remained flexible during the period. While
approximately 50% of the Fund's assets were invested in Treasury notes and
bills, the remainder was held in overnight securities in an effort to maximize
our ability to respond rapidly to changes in the market. As a result,
throughout the period, the Fund was well positioned to capture opportunities to
enhance yield.
 
Given the mixed signals the economy is currently sending, we continue to
emphasize flexibility in the selection of all investments. As of September 30,
1996, the average maturity of the Fund's holdings was 40 days; the average
credit quality was AAA.
 
 
 
 
                                                                           10/96
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/17/An investment in the Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
    Government. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to maintain
    a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.
 
Some of the fees of the Funds are currently being waived, resulting in higher
total returns than would occur if the full fees were charged.
 
Shares in the Funds involve investment risks, including possible loss of
principal, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or
less than their original cost. Fund shares are not deposits or obligations of,
or guaranteed or endorsed by, Branch Banking and Trust Company or its
affiliates, nor are they insured by the FDIC or any other agency.
 
The BB&T Mutual Funds are distributed by BISYS Fund Services.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the
BB&T Mutual Funds Group-U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, Short-Intermediate
U.S. Government Income Fund, Intermediate U.S. Government Bond Fund, North
Carolina Intermediate Tax-Free Fund, Growth and Income Stock Fund, Balanced

investments, as of September 30, 1996, and the related statements of

for each of the periods indicated herein. These financial statements and the
financial highlights are the responsibility of the BB&T Mutual Funds Group'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 audits 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 verification of securities
owned as of September 30, 1996, by confirmation with the custodian and other
appropriate audit 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 each
of the aforementioned funds comprising the BB&T Mutual Funds Group at September
30, 1996, the results of their operations, the changes in their nets assets and

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                               September 30, 1996

1.  Organization:

    The BB&T Mutual Funds Group ("The Group") was organized on October 1, 1987
    and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("the
    1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end investment company established as a
    Massachusetts business trust.

    The Group is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares without par
    value. The Group offers shares of the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, the
    Short-Intermediate U.S. Government Income Fund, the Intermediate U.S.
    Government Bond Fund, the North Carolina Intermediate Tax-Free Fund, the
    Growth and Income Stock Fund, the Balanced Fund and the Small Company Growth
    Fund (referred to individually as a "Fund" and collectively as the "Funds").
    The Group offers three classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares,
    and Trust Shares. Class A Shares are offered with a front-end sales charge
    on the Short-Intermediate U.S. Government Income Fund, the Intermediate U.S.
    Government Bond Fund, the North Carolina Intermediate Tax-Free Fund, the
    Growth and Income Stock Fund, the Balanced Fund and the Small Company Growth
    Fund (collectively, "the variable net asset funds"). Class B Shares are
    offered subject to a contingent deferred sales charge which varies based on
    the length of time Class B Shares are held in accordance with the Prospec-
    tus Prospectus. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges 
    except with respect to the distribution fees borne by the Class A Shares and
    Class B Shares, expenses allocable exclusively to each class of shares,
    voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares and the exchange
    privilege of each class of shares. Sales of shares of the Group may be made
    to customers of Branch Banking & Trust Company (BB&T) and its affiliates, to
    all accounts of correspondent banks of BB&T and to the general public. BB&T
    serves as investment adviser to the Group.

    The U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (the "money market fund") seeks current
    income with liquidity and stability of principle. The Short-Intermediate
    U.S. Government Income Fund and the Intermediate U.S. Government Bond Fund
    seek current income consistent with preservation of capital. The North
    Carolina Intermediate Tax-Free Fund seeks to produce a high level of current
    interest income that is exempt from both federal income tax and North
    Carolina personal income tax. The Growth and Income Stock Fund seeks capital
    growth, current income or both. The Balanced Fund seeks long-term capital
    growth and current income. The Small Company Growth Fund seeks long-term
    capital appreciation.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies:

    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
    the Group in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are
    in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation
    of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assump-
    tions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
    date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
    expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Securities Valuation:

    Investments of the money market fund are valued at either amortized cost,
    which approximates market value, or at original cost which, combined with
    accrued interest, approximates market value. Under the amortized cost
    method, discount or premium is amortized on a constant basis to the maturity
    of the security. In addition the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund may not (a)
    purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than


                                   Continued

                               September 30, 1996

    397 days unless such instrument is subject to a demand feature, or (b)
    maintain a dollar-weighted-average portfolio maturity which exceeds 90 days.

    Investments in common stocks, commercial paper, corporate bonds, municipal
    securities, U.S. Government securities, and U.S. Government agency securi-
    ties of the variable net asset funds are valued at their market values
    determined on the latest available bid prices in the principal market
    (closing sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such
    securities are normally traded. Investments in investment companies are
    valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such companies.
    The differences between cost and market values of investments are reflected
    as unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

    Securities Transactions and Related Income:

    Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the security is
    purchased or sold (trade date). Interest income is recognized on the accrual
    basis and includes, where applicable, the pro rata amortization of premium
    or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or
    losses realized from sales of securities are determined by comparing the
    identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

    When-Issued and Forward Commitments:

    The Funds may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis and may also
    purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment. The Funds record
    when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions
    such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the
    securities purchased. The value of the securities underlying when-issued or
    forward commitments to purchase securities, and any subsequent fluctuation
    in their value, is taken into account when determining the net asset value
    of the Funds commencing with the date the funds agree to purchase the
    securities. The Funds do not accrue interest or dividends on when-issued
    securities until the underlying securities are received.

    Repurchase Agreements:

    Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with member banks of the
    Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and with registered broker/dealers
    that BB&T deems creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board of
    Trustees, subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase such securities at
    a mutually agreed-upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals
    the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current
    short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying
    portfolio securities. The seller, under a repurchase agreement, is required
    to maintain the value of collateral held pursuant to the agreement at not
    less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Securities
    subject to repurchase agreements are held by the Fund's custodian or another
    qualified custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system.

    Dividends to Shareholders:

    Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly
    for the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, the Short-Intermediate U.S.
    Government Income Fund, the Intermediate U.S. Government Bond Fund and the
    North Carolina Intermediate Tax-Free Fund. Dividends from net investment
    income are declared and paid monthly for the Growth and Income Stock Fund
    and the Balanced Fund. Dividends from net investment income

                               September 30, 1996

    are declared and paid quarterly for the Small Company Growth Fund.
    Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and
    distributed at least annually.

    Dividends from net investment income and from net realized capital gains are
    determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from
    generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily
    due to differing treatments for mortgage-backed securities and deferrals of
    certain losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences have been
    reclassified among the components of net assets.

    Federal Income Taxes:

    It is the policy of each Fund of the Group to 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.

    Other:

    Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged directly
    to that Fund. Other operating expenses for the Group are prorated to the
    Funds on the basis of relative net assets. All expenses in connection with
    the Small Company Growth Fund's organization and registration under the 1940
    Act and the Securities Act of 1933 were paid by the Fund. Such expenses are
    being amortized over a period of two years commencing with the initial
    public offering.

3.  Purchases and Sales of Securities:

    Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) for the
    year ended September 30, 1996 are as follows:
