LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
Despite the volatility of the markets during the six months ended March 31,
1997, we are pleased to report that the period was a good one for the BB&T
Mutual Funds. The stock market climbed higher as 1996 drew to a close, but in
the first quarter of the year, the market dropped and surrendered a portion of
the ground gained. The environment in the fixed-income market was also
challenging, as investors worried about the strength of the economy and the
direction of interest rates. Bonds, however, traded in a narrow range during
the period, and when all was said and done, the fixed-income markets posted
positive returns for the period.
 
In addition, during the period, investors continued to invest in mutual funds
overall, and in the BB&T Funds in particular. Total net assets under management
in our fund family rose 19%, rising from $826 million to $984 million over the
six-month period ended March 31, 1997.
 
INTERNATIONAL FUND LAUNCHES SUCCESSFULLY
 
Our newest fund, The BB&T International Equity Fund, made a sizable
contribution to our growth during the period. Introduced on January 2, 1997,
the Fund ended the period with more than $40 million under management. Intended
primarily for long-term growth investors, the portfolio was invested in
eighteen different markets around the world as of March 31, 1997. With the Fund
in operation just under a quarter, it is far too early to draw conclusions on
performance. Nevertheless, we are very pleased with the Fund's launch, and
initial results have been encouraging. If you would like more information on
this Fund, including a prospectus, please call us at 1-800-228-1872.
 
TURNING TO THE MARKETS . . .
 
Expansion has been the theme of the U.S. economy for six years, and indications
are that the economy continued to grow moderately during the fourth quarter of
1996. Pivotal to this growth is consumer spending. Benefiting from low
unemployment and low inflation, consumers' financial confidence continues to be
high. In addition, a surging stock market has given them added wealth, and
despite high consumer debt levels, the market's rise has aided spending as it
has climbed.
 
Manufacturing activity also has provided strong support for growth. During the
fourth quarter, the National Association of Purchasing Management's Index
maintained a level comfortably above 50%--a number indicating that a majority
of manufacturers have increased purchases.
 
INTERNATIONAL TRADE CONTRIBUTES HELP
 
Moreover, strong consumer spending and industrial production not only have
powered growth directly, but also have affected it indirectly by influencing
international trade. Consumer spending has fueled American demand for the
import of foreign goods and services, while efficient industrial production has
provided the goods and services exported to meet foreign demand. This trading
of goods and services also has stimulated and supported our economy's growth
over the past year.
 
Yet, the level of American exports in the future is questionable. While the
strong growth of the Mexican economy could provide a boost to our economy,
exports to other parts of the world may decline. The dollar's recent
appreciation against other major currencies--most notably that of Japan--may
cause foreign consumers to purchase goods and services from less expensive
sources.
 
                                      -2-

Overall, however, the outlook for continued growth is bright. Unemployment is
low, and inflation is tame. At the same time, the tight labor market is now
exerting some upward wage pressure--and generating inflationary uncertainty. In
general, however, the economy has provided a positive environment for
investors.
 
WHAT'S AHEAD FOR STOCKS AND BONDS?
 
As 1996 ended, the bond market was somewhat volatile but, because inflation
remained low, held its ground. Stocks, on the other hand, moved higher on the
strength of the economy, low inflation and solid earnings reports. But, as the
market has moved higher, its dependence on strong earnings reports has grown--
and its vulnerability to disappointment has increased.
 
Consequently, stocks appear to be at a level of full valuation, reflecting a
higher amount of risk, and bond yields are high relative to historical
inflation-adjusted levels. However, we are still optimistic about the stock
market's prospects in the months ahead, and bonds continue to appear attractive
on a risk-adjusted basis.
 
IN CLOSING . . .
 
We urge you to read the following report closely. In it, you will find a
detailed discussion of the performance for each of the BB&T Mutual Funds during
the six months ended March 31, 1997.
 
Finally, we thank you for your continued confidence in us. We look forward to
providing you with excellent investment management and to serving your needs
now and in the future. As always, if you would like a prospectus, have any
questions or require any assistance, please do not hesitate to call us at 1-

THE BB&T INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND /1/
 
Intended for shareholders looking to diversify their portfolios and pursue
long-term growth opportunities in markets abroad, The BB&T International Equity
Fund was introduced on January 2, 1997. The Fund invests primarily in stocks of
companies based in the developed markets of Europe and the Pacific Basin.
Investments may also be made in a limited number of emerging markets around the
world. For more information, or for a prospectus on this or any of the BB&T
Funds, please call us at 1-800-228-1872.
 
A SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH
 
We are pleased to report that the Fund opened with a very strong start in the
relatively volatile environment of the first quarter. During the first eleven
weeks of operation, investors contributed some $40 million to the Fund.
Consequently, at the end of the period, the Fund had holdings in approximately
ninety different companies in markets worldwide.
 
POSITIONED FOR GROWTH
 
As of March 31, 1997, approximately 16% of the funds were invested in the United
Kingdom, 35% in Continental Europe, 20% in Japan and 21% in other developed
markets. Approximately 11% of the portfolio was invested in the world's emerging
markets, and 7% in cash equivalents.

THE BB&T SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND /1/
 
The six-months ended March 31, 1997, were very tough ones indeed for small-cap
stocks overall, and small-cap growth stocks in particular. During the period,
investor sentiment favored big companies over small ones and value over growth.
Moreover, while money continued to flow into the equity market, most moved
directly into the "Nifty Fifty," the biggest and best known names.
 
As a result, during the first quarter of 1997, small-cap growth stocks wilted
from neglect despite, in many cases, strong fundamentals and greater
opportunity for growth than the niftiest of the Nifty Fifty. Consequently, the
period was a disappointing one for small-cap investors overall and for the Fund
in particular.
 
THE TIDE WILL TURN . . .
 
Clearly, after the astonishing growth of small-cap stocks in 1995 and 1996, the
last several months have been difficult and discouraging for small-cap
investors. Moreover, until the technology sector as a whole, not just the
bigger, better known names within it, stabilizes and rebounds, small-cap growth
stocks may continue to suffer from neglect.
 
Nonetheless, given small-cap valuations and the unrealistic levels of larger
stocks, we believe attractive opportunities now abound, particularly in the
retail and oil services sectors. In the months ahead, as the economy slows, we
believe that investors will again turn to small-cap stocks, seeking growth as
they have in the past. Consequently, rather than changing strategies, we are
standing strong and focusing our efforts on positioning the Fund to capitalize
when as expected the tide does turn.

THE BB&T GROWTH AND INCOME STOCK FUND
 
The market continued to soar throughout the last quarter of 1996, but the
advance belonged almost exclusively to larger capitalization stocks. As the
first quarter opened, however, even the most favored stocks fell when investor
sentiment changed. The possibility of higher future inflation and rising
interest rates helped move the market down from its recent record levels.
 
When sentiment shifted, however, value stocks took center stage over growth
stocks. Consequently, while the general decline in the marketplace affected
performance, the Fund suffered far less than other portfolios, due to the
diversification of its holdings in the portfolio and our emphasis on value. In
addition, over the past several months, our search for value led us to increase
positions in the mid-cap sector, and while stocks here dropped in price in
March, they did not drop as dramatically as many of the market's highest fliers
of the past year.
 
MINING FOR OPPORTUNITY IN MID-CAPS
 
In recent months, we have moved to capture mid-cap values in a wide range of
industries, and in the months ahead, we expect to continue to do so.
Expectations for these stocks have not reached unrealistic levels and, so, are
less vulnerable to earnings disappointments. Very simply, we believe they offer
solid growth potential at a reasonable level of risk.
 
As of March 31, 1997, the top five equity holdings in the Fund were SAFECO Corp.
(2.8% of the portfolio's assets), Harris Corp. (2.7%), Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.
(2.4%), Phillips Petroleum Co. (2.3%) and SBC Communications, Inc. (2.0%)./1/

THE BB&T BALANCED FUND
 
The stock market continued to rumble upward throughout much of the six months
ended March 31, 1997, and investors had clear favorites. The market's advance
was led by, and almost exclusively enjoyed by, higher capitalization stocks.
Consequently, the equity portion of the portfolio performed very strongly.
 
Given investors' anxiety over possible rate increases, the environment in the
fixed-income markets was more challenging, and high-quality securities held up
well. In addition, throughout the period, we took advantage of opportunities to
enhance yields whenever they arose. As a result, despite the tough climate, the
bond portion of the portfolio also contributed positively to performance.
 
GOOD VALUES ARE HARD TO FIND . . .
 
However, they do exist in both the stock and bond markets. In the coming months,
convertible securities may also offer attractive possibilities. In the stock
market, many second-and third-tier companies, those just slightly smaller than
the largest but every bit as attractive, did not participate in the market's
rise during the period. Moreover, recent weakness in the market has hit these
sectors hard. As a result, in the months ahead, we expect these sectors to offer
investors attractive opportunities.
 
As always, wherever we find value we will attempt to capitalize on it for our
shareholders. As of March 31, 1997, approximately 48% of the portfolio was
invested in stocks, 49% in bonds and 3% in cash and cash equivalents. The Fund's
top five equity holdings were Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (1.3% of the portfolio's
assets), Schering Plough Corp. (1.3%), Harris Corp. (1.3%), Phillips Petroleum
Co. (1.3%) and Abbott Laboratories (1.3%). The Fund's fixed income holdings
remained concentrated in U.S. Treasury securities. The average maturity of the
portfolio was approximately 6.0 years; the average credit quality was AAA./1/

THE BB&T INTERMEDIATE U.S. GOVERNMENT BOND FUND &
THE BB&T SHORT-INTERMEDIATE U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND
 
Renewed economic strength and the subsequent fear of inflation made bond
investors uneasy throughout much of the six months ended March 31, 1997. Rates
rose and fell in response to conflicting reports of economic growth and
inflation. Throughout this period we approached the fixed-income markets
cautiously and focused our efforts on yield enhancement.
 
Both funds' positions in mortgage pass-through securities, one of the best
performing sectors, were increased. Also, given the uncertainty regarding the
possibility of Federal Reserve action and the subsequent direction of interest
rates, the maturities in both portfolios remain at the short end of their
maturity ranges as specified by prospectus. As a result, both Funds performed
in line with industry averages.

RATES RISE AND RILE MARKETS
 
As many in the marketplace had anticipated, the Federal Reserve moved to
increase short-term rates on March 25. Given the uncertainty over where
interest rates are headed, we will continue to approach the markets cautiously
and focus on yield enhancement in the months ahead. Mortgage pass-through
securities now represent nearly 20% of assets in both Funds, while investments
in other sectors of the market, such as corporate securities, are a much
smaller portion of assets. We continue to over-weight investments in U.S.
Treasury debt due to its high quality and increased liquidity. Currently, more
than 70% of the investments in the Funds are direct obligations of the U.S.
Treasury.
 
As of March 31, 1997, the average maturity of the Intermediate U.S. Government
Fund was 6.5 years. For the Short-Intermediate U.S. Government Fund, it was 2.8
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./1/

THE BB&T NORTH CAROLINA TAX-EXEMPT FUND /1/
 
Supply of municipal securities increased slightly in the North Carolina market
as voters approved and the state came to market with two major issues. These
new securities were snapped up immediately by mutual funds and individual
investors, so the effect on the marketplace was short lived. In fact,
throughout much of the period, short supply made it difficult to chase rates.
Nonetheless, performance over the six months ended March 31, 1997, was solid--
and with few clouds on the horizon, we anticipate the next six months to
produce much of the same.
 
QUALITY IS KEY LONG-TERM
 
With the recent increase in short-term interest rates and the uncertainty of the
direction of future rates, we are unlikely to see supply increase dramatically
any time soon. Demand, however, for securities from high-quality issuers like
North Carolina is very strong and anticipated to increase as baby boomers move
closer to retirement. Consequently, long-term prospects for the North Carolina
market, and for the Fund, are bright.
 
As of March 31, 1997, the Fund's portfolio held laddered maturities of high-
quality North Carolina bonds. Approximately 87% of the Fund's assets are
invested in general obligation bonds; 9% are in health care; and slightly more
than 3% are held in cash or cash equivalents. No one bond accounted for more
than 8% of the portfolio. The average maturity of our holdings was 6.2 years;
the average credit quality was AA./2/

THE BB&T U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND /1/
 
Money market instruments were relatively stable over the six months ended March
31, 1997. Yet, in the closing week of the period, the Federal Reserve moved to
raise short-term interest rates. While the increase was slight, and widely
anticipated, it caused market volatility to increase, nevertheless.
 
In the months ahead, until the direction of the economy grows clearer, we
expect to see this pattern continue. Approximately 56% of the Fund's assets,
however, are invested in a laddered portfolio of Treasury bills. Consequently,
the Fund is well positioned to capitalize on any further increases in short-
term rates. As lower yielding securities mature or are sold, we expect to find
and capitalize on opportunities to invest in higher yielding securities.
 
As of March 31, 1997, the average maturity of the Fund's holdings was 36 days;
the average credit quality was AAA./2/
 
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
/1/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.
 
/2/The composition of the BB&T Mutual Funds' portfolios is subject to change.
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. Although the BB&T
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of
$1.00, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so.
 
The BB&T Mutual Funds are distributed by BISYS Fund Services.
 
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, the Branch Banking and Trust Company or its
affiliates, nor are they insured by the FDIC or any other agency.

1.   Organization:

     The BB&T Mutual Funds Group ("The Group") commenced operations on October
     5, 1992 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, the Small Company Growth
     Fund and the International Equity Fund (January 2, 1997) (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, the Small Company Growth
     Fund and the International Equity 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 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. The International Equity Fund Series
     long-term capital appreciation through investments primarily in equity
     securities of foreign issuers.

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 assumptions 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.

                                  (Unaudited)



     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
     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
     securities 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.

     Foreign Currency Translation:

     Investment valuations, other assets and liabilities initially expressed in
     foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based
     upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investments and
     income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon exchange
     rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. That portion
     of realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation
     from investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is
     not separately disclosed. Such fluctuations are included with the net
     realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

     Forward Foreign Currency Contracts:

     Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the daily exchange rate of
     the underlying currency. Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency
     contracts having the same settlement date and broker are presented net on
     the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The forward foreign currency
     exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the
     underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial
     statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the
     contract settlement date. Gains or losses from the purchase or sale of
     forward foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and
     broker are recorded as realized on the date of offset; otherwise gains or
     losses are recorded as realized on settlement date.

     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 are declared
     and paid quarterly for the Small Company Growth Fund and the International
     Equity 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.
