6 Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance.
  They are subject to change every month. Past performance is no guarantee of
  future results. Ratings are calculated from the funds' 3-, 5- and 10-year
  average annual returns in excess of 90-day Treasury bill returns with
  appropriate fee adjustments, and a risk factor that reflects fund performance
  below 90-day Treasury bill returns. Ten percent of funds in a rating universe
  receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, 35% receive 3 stars, 22.5%
  receive 2 stars and 10% receive 1 star.

7 The Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund is the successor to a collective trust
  fund. The quoted performance data includes performance of the collective trust
  fund for periods before the Fund's registration statement became effective on
  August 30, 1996, as adjusted to reflect the Fund's anticipated expenses. The
  collective trust fund was not registered under the Investment Company Act of
  1940 ("1940 Act") and therefore was not subject to certain investment
  restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act. If the collective trust fund had been
  registered under the 1940 Act, the performance may have been adversely
  affected. SMALL-CAP FUNDS MAY EXPERIENCE A HIGHER DEGREE OF VOLATILITY THAN
  OTHERS.

ANNUAL REPORT--COMMENTARY

[-]
MARSHALL EQUITY INCOME FUND
The Marshall Equity Income Fund (the "Fund") seeks capital appreciation and
current income through a disciplined approach of investing in a broadly
diversified portfolio of common stocks with above-average dividend yields. The
portfolio is structured to pursue a yield at least 100 basis points (1%) more
than the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500).*

SUCCESSFUL STRATEGY REPEATS SUCCESS.
For the 12 months ended August 31, 1997, the Fund provided a total return of
30.95%,** while the S&P 500 provided a total return of 40.65% and the Lipper
Equity Income Funds Index (LEIFI)* returned 31.89%. Also, as of 9/30/97, the
Fund was awarded the highest rating--five stars--for its overall performance
among 2,143 domestic equity funds by Morningstar.+

FINANCIALS, ENERGY PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE.
Money center banks were the dominant group influencing performance for this
one-year period. The S&P Banks/Money Centers Index* was up 56.37% and S&P Major
Regional Banks Index* was up 50.58%. Within the Fund's portfolio, for example,
10 of the 15 top performers were financial stocks, including H.F. Ahmanson, up
106.5%; First American Corp. of Tennessee, up 89.4%; and Mellon Bank, up 80.4%.
Throughout the year, the Fund maintained a very substantial representation in
banks. On August 31, 1997, the Fund held 16.05% in bank stocks, compared to just
over 8% representation in the S&P 500. The Fund also benefited by its overweight
position in energy stocks, which made up 16.2% of the portfolio on August 31,
1997. The S&P International Oil Stock Index* was up 43.08% over the one-year
period. Tobacco stocks were also good performers. The S&P Tobacco Index* was up
46.93% for the year.

RISK PROTECTION SOUGHT IN REITS.
The most significant strategy change this year was the addition of Real Estate
Investment Trusts, which made up 9.1% of the portfolio at fiscal year end. REITs
are traditionally considered to be a conservative, high-yield, low- volatility
investment; we look to them to add a defensive posture to the portfolio while
pursuing attractive current yield and growth opportunities.

DISCIPLINED APPROACH HELPS TO MINIMIZE VOLATILITY.
Investing in attractively priced stocks of companies paying above-average
dividends is the cornerstone of our disciplined investment approach. The Fund
provided solid results in the strong bull market years of 1995 and 1996 and has
continued to do so in 1997.

Equally important, however, our investment style achieved these results with a
low-risk profile. Of course, any investment involves risk, including the
possible loss of principal. The portfolio's above-average dividend yield
combined with its low historical volatility should help reassure our investors
that participation in any further market advance will be built around an
investment style designed to help protect their assets on the downside.

Sincerely,

/s/ Bruce P. Hutson

ANNUAL REPORT--COMMENTARY

[-]
MARSHALL LARGE-CAP GROWTH & INCOME FUND
(FORMERLY, MARSHALL STOCK FUND)
The Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund (the "Fund") invests in large
capitalization stocks with growth and income orientation. The Fund's holdings
are well-diversified, with representation in the major sectors of the economy.
Companies held are typically leaders in their respective industries and have
records of above-average financial performance and proven superior management.

FUND PERFORMANCE MIRRORED BENCHMARK.
For the 12 months ended August 31, 1997, the Fund provided a total return of
34.50%,* mirroring the Lipper Growth and Income Funds Index (LGIFI)** return of
34.68%.

TWO SECTORS WORTH NOTING.
An overweighting in financial stocks and broad diversification in economically
sensitive sectors helped the Fund achieve substantial growth. Superior
performers in the financial sector included BankAmerica, up 67%; Bank of New
York, up 60%; and American Express, up 75% for this 12-month period. Strong
performers in the more economically sensitive sectors were Air Products &
Chemicals, up 49%; and General Electric, up 48%.

The technology sector underperformed the market in the first half of the Fund's
fiscal year. However, it rebounded strongly off the April 1997 market lows
through the fiscal year-end. For example, Fund holdings, such as IBM appreciated
76%; Microsoft, 113%; and Intel, 126% over the last 12 months. As the market
rebounded off its low in April 1997, investors moved decidedly toward smaller
market capitalization issues. Even IBM's and Microsoft's substantial returns in
the second half of the fiscal year paled in comparison to those of small- and
mid-cap technology issues. With a moderate representation in aggressive
technology issues and an average market capitalization larger than that of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500),** the Fund lost ground to the S&P 500
during the latter part of the fiscal year.

POSITIONED FOR '98.
Concerns about earnings growth, lofty price/earnings multiples and the effects
of a strong U.S. dollar discouraged the Fund from owning the larger
multinational consumer products companies, such as Gillette, Coca Cola and
Procter & Gamble. Unfortunately, the concern with these companies has spilled
over into other large capitalization stocks with continuing strong earnings
prospects such as General Electric, Boeing and Unilever.

As the market rotates through various sectors, we continue to stick to our
strategy of maintaining a broadly diversified portfolio of high quality, large
capitalization stocks with a strong focus on near-term earnings trends in this
rich price/earnings multiple environment.

Sincerely,

/s/ William J. O'Connor

MARSHALL MID-CAP VALUE FUND
(FORMERLY, MARSHALL VALUE EQUITY FUND)
The Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund (the "Fund") uses a value-oriented approach to
purchasing common stocks predominantly within the mid-capitalization range. The
stocks purchased are typically characterized as being out-of-favor and
undervalued.

FUND PROVIDED SOLID RETURN.
For the 12 months ended August 31, 1997, the Fund provided a total return of
30.20%.* For the same period, the Lipper Mid-Cap Funds Index (LMCFI)** returned
24.61%.

MAINTAINING OUR VALUE APPROACH.
We use a pure stock-picking approach without emphasis on sector rotation or
group momentum. We buy out-of-favor, undervalued stocks and patiently wait for
the company to implement strategies aimed to enhance shareholder returns. The
Fund's investment style does not necessarily move with market momentum.

CONCENTRATING ON THREE VALUE SCENARIOS.
The Fund has experienced considerable success in focusing on three categories of
out-of-favor or undervalued stocks:

1. ASSET RECOGNITION. We look for stocks that have significant financial,
tangible or intangible assets that are not currently recognized in the market.
Up 72% over the last 12 months, Trizec Hahn (formerly Horsham) was recognized
for its asset value and management talent, something we identified more than a
year ago.

2. TURN-AROUNDS. Frequently, we find value opportunities when a company
implements more effective ways to conduct its core business. This year, new
management at Sunbeam-Oster Corp. concentrated on the company's most profitable
product lines, driving their shareholder return to 96.3%.

3. RESTRUCTURINGS. When companies change their business strategy or shift to a
different business segment, patient value investors can be rewarded. Imperial
Chemical Industries initiated a move from cyclical commodity chemicals to less
cyclical specialty chemicals, prompting a 36.7% return. We anticipate further
price appreciation as management uses this same skill set on additional business
lines.

MAINTAINING OUR PATIENT STANCE.
The Fund is positioned to benefit from the disciplined approach used to identify
strong opportunities in undervalued stocks. We thank you for your continued
commitment to the Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund.

MARSHALL MID-CAP GROWTH FUND
(FORMERLY, MARSHALL MID-CAP
STOCK FUND)
The Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund's (the "Fund") goal is to seek capital
appreciation by investing in companies with market capitalizations between $200
million and $7.5 billion that are exhibiting strong financial characteristics
and expected growth significantly above the average corporation.

UPWARD MOMENTUM REFLECTED IN 12-MONTH FIGURES.
For the 12 months ended August 31, 1997, the Fund provided a total return of
19.14%,* compared to the Standard & Poor's Mid-Cap 400 Stock Price Index
(SPMC)** total return of 37.28% and the Lipper Mid-Cap Fund Index (LMCFI)**
return of 24.61%. For the three years ended August 31, 1997, the Fund provided
an annualized total return of 21.65%,* compared to the SPMC total return of
22.75% and the LMCFI return of 21.16%.

In the first half of the year, lack of dividend support and limited exposure to
utilities (in line with our aggressive growth strategy) adversely affected our
return in comparison to the SPMC and LMCFI. However, in the six months ended
August 31, 1997 the Fund has returned 17.06%, beating out the LMCFI (16.8%) and
closing ground on the SPMC (20.5%).

PATIENCE AND DISCIPLINE WERE REWARDED.
It is important to note that, although small- and mid-caps endured a difficult
period, the Fund did not experience style drift into larger capitalization
stocks. We stayed true to our discipline, seeking growth in attractively valued,
high quality mid-cap companies.

The Fund has been very successful in its exposure to broadcast stocks, a sector
we invested in because of recent FCC regulation changes. As we anticipated,
consolidations benefited share prices, and we benefited from growth at Clear
Channel, up 49%; and Westwood One, up 64%.

We have increased our exposure in oil services, given increased demand for
energy and opportunities for offshore drilling, in particular in the Gulf of
Mexico. Big players here have been EVI, up 37%; and ENSCO International, up 71%.
Finally, we have seen high employment and consumer confidence benefit our retail
investments, in particular Kohl's, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Bed, Bath and
Beyond.

OUTLOOK FOR MID-CAPS IS OPTIMISTIC.
We are entering what may be a very positive period for small- and mid-cap stocks
in relation to large caps. The market shift in 1996-1997 allowed us to take
advantage of tremendous values in the mid-cap arena. As the market begins to
recognize this value, we feel confident that we are well positioned to benefit
from this shift in momentum.

Sincerely,

/s/ Steve D. Hayward

The Marshall International Stock Fund (the "Fund"), which is sub-advised by
Templeton Investment Counsel, Inc., seeks long-term capital appreciation through
a flexible policy of investing in stocks and debt obligations of companies and
governments outside the United States.+

THE FUND CONTINUED TO OUTPERFORM INDICES.
For the 12 months ended August 31, 1997, the Fund provided a total return of
22.73%,* compared to a total return of 9.4% by the Morgan Stanley Capital
International Europe, Australia and Far East Index (EAFE Index)** and 17.38%
provided by the Lipper International Funds Index (LIFI).** Also, as of 9/30/97,
the Fund was awarded a four-(out of five) star rating for its overall
performance among 601 international equity funds by Morningstar.+

EUROPE AND SOUTH AMERICA PROVIDED GROWTH PLAYERS.
Europe remained the single largest weighting in the Fund, as we continued to
find value there on a selective basis. We were net sellers of financial stocks
in Europe, and particularly decreased our exposure in Sweden, but careful
analysis turned up growth opportunities throughout the continent, especially in
the United Kingdom.

The largest single contributor to the Fund's outstanding performance was Philips
Electronics of the Netherlands, whose share price more than doubled due to a
restructuring program that is expected to continue well into 1998. The
restructuring program is expected to reduce headcount and streamline operations,
allowing Philips to compete successfully in the global electronics industry.

In Latin America, the Brazilian telephone company Telebras remained one of our
larger holdings and better performers. Throughout the region, however, we have
seen stronger economies reflected in strong share price performance.
Additionally, many Latin American countries plan to redeem their high cost Brady
Bonds, which will lower their cost of capital and provide the support for
further economic improvement.

BARGAINS AVAILABLE IN SELECTED FAR EAST MARKETS. Our low exposure in Japan once
again proved beneficial to the Fund's performance. We will continue to spend our
energies looking for Japanese companies that match our value discipline. On the
back of the currency crisis in Thailand, which spilled over to neighboring
countries, we are starting to find value opportunities in the bear markets of
southeast Asia, Indonesia and the Philippines. We are also favorably disposed to
China and Hong Kong.

"Selective stock picking" are the operative words for the next several months,
as we find certain markets and sectors fully valued. We will continue to search
for value opportunities in selected markets and invest in high-quality companies
with solid fundamentals as they appear on our bargain list.

Sincerely,

MARSHALL SMALL-CAP GROWTH FUND
(FORMERLY, MARSHALL SMALL-CAP
STOCK FUND)
The Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") seeks capital appreciation by
investing in stocks issued by high-growth companies with market capitalizations
as high as $1 billion and as low as $100 million.

FUND OUTPERFORMED INDUSTRY AVERAGE.
For the 12 months ended August 31, 1997, the Fund provided a total return of
21.22%,*+ compared to the Lipper Small-Cap Funds Index (LSCFI)** return of
18.81%.

BROADCASTING AND ENERGY REWARD AS ANTICIPATED.
For the first six months of the fiscal year, small caps struggled and
underperformed the market. In the last quarter, however, the tide turned and our
aggressive growth strategy was rewarded. We ended the year ahead of the LSCFI
and gaining ground on the Russell 2000 Index (Russell 2000).**

Throughout this 12-month period we adhered to our philosophy of investing in
high quality growth companies. Over the long run, we believe stock prices track
earnings growth. Despite our underperformance in the first six months of the
year, companies owned in the Fund continued to meet or exceed our earnings
expectations and our patience was rewarded as the year came to a close.

Of particular note were small-cap names in the broadcasting industry. We
anticipated consolidations in response to new FCC regulations and found
considerable success with Westwood One, up 64%; and Heftel Broadcasting, the
largest owner of radio stations for the Spanish-speaking market, up 64%.

We continue to look for growth companies with strong fundamentals within the
technology sector. With dramatic changes occurring in the telecommunications
industry, we were rewarded through investments in Powerwave Technologies, up
93%; McLeod USA, up 69%; and Computer Products, up 63%.

EARLY SIGNS FAVORABLE FOR SMALL CAPS.
We continue to believe that oil field service companies are well-positioned to
benefit from increased energy demand, tight supply/demand characteristics in
their markets, and new drilling opportunities in the deep water Gulf of Mexico.
Investments in this sector include Newpark Resources, BJ Services and Eagle
Geophysical. We have also increased exposure in the retail sector (Party City,
Abercrombie & Fitch) in response to high employment, increased consumer spending
and other indications of a strengthening holiday season.

With small-caps trading at a fraction of their growth rates and large-caps
trading as much as three times their growth rates, we feel the Fund is poised to
capitalize on this valuation disparity. Small-caps may be capable of offering
steadier (albeit more risky) earnings and higher, more sustainable growth rates
than large caps. We are optimistic that we will see the market respond with
additional price appreciation for small-caps over the next several months. We
remain committed to our strategy of investing in quality, rapidly growing
companies and we believe this will reward our investors over time.

MARSHALL SHORT-TERM INCOME FUND
The Marshall Short-Term Income Fund (the "Fund") seeks to maximize total return
consistent with current income, while minimizing price fluctuation. The Fund
invests in a diversified portfolio of short- to intermediate-term high-grade
bonds and notes.

FUND OUTPERFORMED INDEX.
For the 12 months ended August 31, 1997, the Fund provided a total return of
7.20%,* compared to 5.02% by the IBC/Donoghue's Taxable Money Fund Average
(DMFA),** 7.05% provided by the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index** and
6.8% compared to the Lipper Short-Term Investment Grade Bond Fund Index.** Also,
as of 9/30/97, the Fund was awarded a four-(out of five) star rating for its
overall performance among 1,309 taxable bond funds by Morningstar.+

MARKET REACTION PROVED DIFFERENT.
Interest rates fell throughout this fiscal year. Last fall, the market was
predicting a strong economy with inflation to follow. The economy did prove to
be strong, but the inflation fears did not play out. As a result, rates fell
about 50 to 60 basis points across the curve, and bond prices rose.

The labor market is the strongest it has been in over 20 years and the Gross
Domestic Product is well over its published "speed limit." Yet, instead of
rising inflation, we are seeing it slip to very low levels. The market has
started to get more comfortable with a "this time it's different scenario" and
has taken the inflation premium out of bond prices.

We feel that the only thing that is different this time is the market's
perception. History typically repeats, and it would be a mistake to assume that
inflation will not become a factor again--particularly since there are no signs
of the economy slowing down. Record productivity and global expansion have
prolonged the economic cycle and made inflation less noticeable, but at some
point the bond market will build in another inflation premium.

STRATEGY CONTINUED TO EMPHASIZE YIELD.
Despite considerable volatility, interest rates were relatively unchanged over
the last six months. Going forward, as this range-bound market prevails, we will
continue to stress yield. Shorter durations will be replaced by slightly longer
and neutral durations. And, since we feel the short end of the curve is
mispricing the Federal Reserve Board outlook, the Fund will own a larger
percentage of cash equivalents, mortgages, asset-backed and short floating-rate
securities.

We feel these strategies will help us seek our objective of maximizing total
return while minimizing share price volatility.

MARSHALL INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND
The goal of the Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund (the "Fund") is to maximize
total return consistent with current income. The Fund primarily buys high-grade
bonds and notes with a maturity of three to ten years.

FUND MATCHED BENCHMARK, EXCEEDED PEER INDEX.
For the 12 months ended August 31, 1997, the Fund provided a total return of
8.42%,* compared to a return of 8.4% by the Lehman Brothers Intermediate
Government/Corporate Bond Index (LGCI)** and 7.3% by the Lipper Intermediate
Investment Grade Bond Funds Index (LIBF).**

STRATEGY EMPHASIZED CORPORATE QUALITY.
Throughout the second half of the fiscal year, the Fund concentrated on
upgrading corporate quality and reducing some of its corporate bond exposure due
to corporates' very narrow spreads. At this point, we no longer see any reason
to lower corporate exposure further; however, the narrowness of corporate
spreads means credit quality has converged. There is no benefit to taking on
additional risk. We will stick with the good performers thus far, including the
bank and brokerage sector and mortgage securities.

In addition to concentrating on credit quality, we will continue our strategy of
enhancing yield wherever possible and emphasizing neutral duration in response
to high market volatility. In the last six months, we saw interest rates moving
up and down frequently, only to end up where they started. As we go forward, we
feel the market will continue to be range bound, as investors ponder the future
of this prolonged strong economy.

MARKET IGNORES HISTORIC CYCLES.
Historically, a long period of economic growth--as indicated by low
unemployment, strong Gross Domestic Product and record consumer confidence--is
followed by a period of inflation. Because global expansion and productivity
have overshadowed inflation, the market is romancing the idea that "this time
it's different." In fact, the bond market is not pricing in any more Federal
Reserve Board (the "Fed") tightening.

History typically repeats itself and at some point, the Fed may have to raise
rates in response to this rapidly growing economy. In preparation for that
scenario, the Fund is taking a protective stance: maintaining interest rate
exposure that's in line with the index and attempting to maximize yield wherever
possible.

Sincerely,

MARSHALL GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND
The Marshall Government Income Fund (the "Fund") seeks to generate a high level
of current income while maximizing total return with moderate share-value
volatility. Strategies are focused on the investment opportunities within the
mortgage-backed securities market, in particular the government agency-backed,
whole loan and home equity loan sectors of the mortgage market.

FUND OUTPERFORMED PEER.
For the 12 months ended August 31, 1997, the Fund provided a total return of
9.35%,* compared to a return of 9.23% provided by the Lipper U.S. Mortgage Funds
Index (LUSMI).** In fact, the Marshall Government Income Fund earned a three-
(out of five) star rating among 1,309 taxable bond funds from Morningstar as of
9/30/97.+

A BANNER YEAR FOR MORTGAGES.
Mortgages had one of the best years ever, outperforming duration-equal
Treasuries by more than one full point. Overall, mortgages were one of the best
performing fixed-income sectors, outperforming most investment-grade bonds.
This exceptional performance is attributable to three factors: 1) mortgages
were more attractive on a yield basis, 2) the market was range-bound, and 3)
market volatility declined and remained at a very low level.

So strong was the mortgage market in the first six months of the year that we
began to add structured bonds that would do better in a declining market. As the
market demanded liquidity and yield over structure, that strategy-- which should
prove advantageous in the long term--caused us to underperform the LUSMI
slightly in the short term.

NEW ADDITION TO THE STRATEGY.
We continue to think bonds look attractive over the next 6 to 12 months, and we
still hold a steady duration of 4.1-4.3 years. To help boost performance, we
have increased our allocations to dollar rolls, which are commitments to buy
mortgage issues for a future settlement, in exchange for a price concession. As
long as Wall Street's love affair with mortgages continue, the financing rate of
dollar rolls should remain attractive and provide the opportunity to boost the
returns of the mortgages being rolled, by 50 to 75 basis points over the course
of a year. Key to this strategy will be buying and rolling the mortgage issues
most in demand to create CMOs.

Similar to the rewards of good stock selection, identifying specific, "vintage"
mortgages has generated significant returns over the last two years. It is an
opportunistic strategy that requires sound analytical techniques and the ability
to recognize distinctive "vintage" characteristics. Mortgages exhibiting
"burn-out" or lack of refinancing activity usually are due to homeowners with
small remaining mortgage balances or loans on homes in areas of the country with
weak or declining home values. These "vintage" mortgages offer higher yields
with steady prepayments, consistent with our goal of generating a high current
income with limited volatility.

MARSHALL INTERMEDIATE TAX-FREE FUND
The primary goal of the Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund (the "Fund") is to
generate income that is exempt from federal income tax.+

FUND PERFORMANCE MIRRORED BENCHMARK.
For the 12 months ended August 31, 1997, the Fund provided a total return of
6.67%,* compared to a return of 6.69% for the Lehman Brothers 5-Year General
Obligations Index (L5GO)** and 6.9% for the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Funds
Index (LMI).** This return represents more than just income, as overall
performance benefited from the drop in interest rates over the fiscal year.

BOND MARKET REACTS TO STRONG ECONOMY.
The key issue for the bond market continues to be the lack of inflationary
pressure despite robust economic growth. While the Federal Reserve Board (the
"Fed") debates the need for another round of tighter monetary policy, bond
investors remain ever vigilant to any indication of increasing inflation. The
future positioning of the Fund will depend on the outlook for Fed policy and its
subsequent effect on market yields.

The credit quality of municipal bonds has generally improved in lockstep with
continued economic growth. State and local tax receipts have generally exceeded
both the budgeted expectation and need of municipalities. Healthier financial
profiles convinced rating agencies to upgrade numerous issuer credit ratings,
action justified only if politicians prudently manage their largesse. In the
past, such windfalls have served to trigger new spending programs of marginal
benefit to taxpayers, rather than tax cuts or the build-up of "rainy day" funds.


The proliferation of bond insurance in the municipal market has caused a drop in
the supply of lower-rated credits, forcing higher yield buyers to scramble for
extra yield. This phenomenon tends to further narrow the already modest yield
pick-up available in lower-rated credits. We continue to focus on upgrading
quality while giving up minimal yield by swapping out of bonds that offer little
reward of further improvement. When the economy slows, this strategy should
serve the portfolio well.

DISCIPLINED STRATEGY MAY CONTINUE TO REWARD.
Recent tax legislation will not significantly affect municipal bonds or the
Fund's portfolio. Income tax rates remain the same, and the newly created Roth
IRA does not favor the top bracket taxpayers. If the lower capital gains rate
entices stock sales, the municipal market may benefit from some increased demand
via re-allocations. We remain cognizant of our goal to provide sufficient
after-tax return and seek to minimize any taxable distribution from the Fund.

The assets of the Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund have grown much faster
than the average municipal bond fund over the last 12 months. The fund is
approximately 33% larger than a year ago. We will strive to meet the ongoing
needs of our investors by seeking the best values available in the marketplace.
We look forward to providing a competitive return on investment for all of our
shareholders.

Sincerely,

/s/ John D. Boritzke

 ++Duration is a commonly used measure of the potential volatility of the price
   of a debt security, or the aggregate market value of a portfolio of debt
   securities, prior to maturity. Securities with longer durations generally
   have more volatile prices than securities of comparable quality with shorter
   durations.



ANNUAL REPORT--COMMENTARY

[-]
MARSHALL MONEY MARKET FUND
The Marshall Money Market Fund (the "Fund") seeks to provide current income
consistent with stability of principal. The Fund's adviser attempts to generate
an annual net return exceeding IBC's Taxable Money Fund Report Average(TM) while
maintaining a stable $1 price per share.* The Fund purchases high-quality,
short-term money market securities, including banker's acceptances, certificates
of deposit, first-tier commercial paper, master notes, repurchase agreements,
and U.S. Treasury and agency securities.

FUND CONTINUED TO IMPROVE ON BENCHMARK.
For the 12 months ended August 31, 1997, the Fund provided a total return of
5.35%** for Class A Shares, compared to a return of 5.02% for the IBC/Donoghue's
Taxable Money Fund Average (Donoghue).*** Class B shares provided a total return
of 5.04%.**

DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PAID OFF.
Class A Shares continued to beat the IBC benchmark by about 31 basis points,
while Class B Shares mirrored the Donoghue average very closely. Overall, our
exposure to commercial paper continued to shrink as a percentage of the
portfolio throughout the fiscal year. More attractive investments can be found
in floating rate notes, funding agreements and master notes. The Fund has also
added paper in the one-year range as well, averaging in at rates of 5.95% and
above.

Average maturity increased slightly from 45 out to 50 days as the Fund
concentrated on master notes and floating rate notes.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD HOLDS REINS TIGHTLY.
As our fiscal year ended, the economy was characterized by continued low
inflation, low unemployment and good corporate earnings. Home sales and consumer
confidence were at record levels. It all begs the question; how much growth can
we incur without prompting inflation?

Obviously, this cozy scenario cannot occur indefinitely. While the economy
should stay strong for the short-term, the long-term position depends on what
the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") does. Ultimately, short-term yields will
go wherever Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan wants to take them.

As this scenario plays out, we will continue to maintain our exposure to only
the highest quality corporate credits and actively manage the average maturity
in an attempt to maximize shareholder return.

Sincerely,

/s/ Richard M. Rokus

Richard M. Rokus Manager,
Marshall Money Market Fund

  *Although money market funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1
   per share, there is no assurance that they will be able to do so. An
   investment in the Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S.
   Government.
 **Performance quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of
   future results. Yields will vary.
***IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report(TM) publishes annualized yields of hundreds
   of money market funds on a weekly basis and through its Money Market Insight
   publication reports monthly and year-to-date investment results for the same
   money funds.
  +The 7-day net annualized yield is based on the average net income per share
   for the 7 days ended on the date of calculation and the offering price on
   that date. The 7-day effective yield is based on the 7-day net yield and is
   then compounded and annualized.

 Marshall Money Market Fund ("Money Market Fund") Current income consistent with
stability of principal.
</TABLE>

  Money Market Fund is offered in two classes of shares: Class A Shares and
Class B Shares. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's
interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.

  Effective June 1, 1997, Marshall Stock Fund, Marshall Value Equity Fund,
Marshall Mid-Cap Stock Fund, and Marshall Small-Cap Stock Fund, were renamed the
Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund, Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund, Marshall
Mid-Cap Growth Fund, and Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund, respectively.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

  Investment Valuations--Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing
service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality,
coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the
pricing service deems relevant. U.S. government securities, listed corporate
bonds, other fixed income and asset-backed securities, and unlisted securities
and private placement securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest
bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. Listed
equity securities and investments in closed end investment companies are valued
at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange. Money Market
Fund's use of the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities is in
accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. For fluctuating net asset value funds
within the Corporation, short-term securities are valued at the prices provided
by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities purchased with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost,
which approximates fair market value. Investments in other open-end regulated
investment companies are valued at net asset value

  Repurchase Agreements--It is the policy of the Funds to require the custodian
bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book
Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank's vault, all
securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions.
Additionally, procedures have been established by the Funds to monitor, on a
daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement's collateral to
ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be
paid under the repurchase agreement transaction, including accrued interest.



                                                   [_] MARSHALL FUNDS

  The Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other
recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by
the Funds' adviser (or sub-adviser with respect to International Stock Fund) to
be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or
established by the Board of Directors (the "Directors"). Risks may arise from
the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase
agreement. Accordingly, the Funds could receive less than the repurchase price
on the sale of collateral securities.

  Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions--Interest income and expenses
are accrued daily. Bond premium and discount, if applicable, are amortized as
required by the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"). Dividend income
and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain
dividends from foreign securities may be recorded after the ex-dividend date
based upon when information becomes available to the Fund.

  Federal Taxes--It is the Funds' policy to comply with the provisions of the
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to
shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no
provisions for federal tax are necessary.

  However, federal taxes may be imposed on International Stock Fund upon the
disposition of investments in passive foreign investment companies. Withholding
taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the
International Stock Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules
and rates.

  At August 31, 1997, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards for
federal tax purposes, which will reduce each Fund's taxable income arising from
future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the
Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which
would otherwise be necessary to relieve each Fund of any liability for federal
tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as listed
below:

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

  Net realized capital losses on Short-Term Income Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund
and Government Income Fund of $389,609, $921,750 and $322,458, respectively,
attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 1996, were
treated as arising on the first day of each Fund's next taxable year (September
1, 1997).

  Net realized losses on International Stock Fund of $223,360, attributable to
foreign currency transactions incurred after October 31, 1996, were treated as
arising on the first day of International Stock Fund's next taxable year
(September 1, 1997).

  When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions--The Funds may engage in when-
issued or delayed delivery transactions. 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.
Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to
market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date.

  Deferred Expenses--The costs incurred by each Fund with respect to
registration of their shares in their first fiscal year, excluding the initial
expense of registering their shares, have been deferred and are being amortized
over a period not to exceed five years from each Fund's commencement date.

  Futures Contracts--Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Mid-
Cap Growth Fund and Small-Cap Growth Fund purchase stock index futures contracts
to manage cashflows, enhance yield, and to potentially reduce transaction costs.
Upon entering into a stock index futures contract with a broker, the Fund is
required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S.
government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains
or losses are recorded in a "variation margin" account. Daily, the Fund receives
from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the
variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a
realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk
that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in
the value of the underlying securities.

</TABLE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  As of August 31, 1997, Mid-Cap Value Fund had no outstanding futures
contracts.

  Foreign Exchange Contracts--International Stock Fund may enter into foreign
currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. The
Fund may enter into these contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific
foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date as a hedge or cross hedge
against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. The objective of
the Fund's foreign currency hedging transactions is to reduce the risk that the
U.S. dollar value of the Fund's foreign currency denominated securities will
decline in value due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All foreign
currency exchange contracts are "marked to market" daily at the applicable
translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or
losses are recorded at the time the foreign currency exchange contract is offset
by entering into a closing transaction or by the delivery or receipt of the
currency. Risk may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential
inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from
unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S.
dollar. At August 31, 1997, International Stock Fund had outstanding foreign
exchange contracts as set forth below:

</TABLE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Foreign Currency Translation--The accounting records of International Stock
Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies ("FCs") are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of
exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation.
Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the
rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are
recorded. Differences between income and expense amounts recorded and collected
or paid are adjusted when reported by the custodian bank. The Funds do not
isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in
foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes
in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net
realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

  Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of
portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of
FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends,
interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds' books, and the
U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized
foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and
liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting
from changes in the exchange rate.

  Dollar Roll Transactions--The Funds, except for Money Market Fund, may enter
into dollar roll transactions, with respect to mortgage securities issued by
Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association
and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, in which the Funds loan mortgage
securities to financial institutions and simultaneously agree to accept
substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities at a later
date at an agreed upon price. Dollar roll transactions are short-term financing
arrangements which will not exceed twelve months. The Funds will use the
proceeds generated from the transactions to invest in short-term investments,
which may enhance the Funds' current yield and total return.

  Securities Lending--The Funds participate in a securities lending program
providing for the lending of corporate bonds, equity and government securities
to qualified brokers. Collateral is maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the
market value on securities loaned, plus interest, if applicable. The Funds
reimburse the custodian for the costs directly associated with the Funds'
participation in the securities lending program, subject to a maximum fee.

  Reclassification--Income and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences are attributed to differing book/tax
treatments for net operating losses, marked to market of Passive Foreign
Investment Companies, and foreign currency transactions. Amount as of August 31,
1997, have been reclassified to reflect the following:

  Net investment income, net realized gains/losses, and net assets were not

  Restricted Securities--Restricted securities are securities that may only be
resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt
from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has
agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense either
upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the
securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in
transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be
determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Directors. The Fund
will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. International Stock
Fund's and Short-Term Income Fund's restricted securities are valued at the
price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are
available, at the fair value as determined by the Fund's pricing committee.
Money Market Fund's restricted securities are valued at amortized cost in
accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

  International Stock Fund invests in equity and fixed income securities of
non-U.S. issuers. Although the Fund maintains a diversified investment
portfolio, the political or economic developments within a particular country or
region may have an adverse effect on the ability of domiciled issuers to meet
their obligations. Additionally, political or economic developments may have an
effect on the liquidity and volatility of portfolio securities and currency
holdings.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of portfolio of investments of the Marshall Equity Income Fund,
the Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund, the Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund,
the Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund, the Marshall International Stock Fund, the

eleven portfolios constituting the Marshall Funds, Inc., a Wisconsin

changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods presented.
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 as of
August 31, 1997, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. As to
securities purchased but not received, we requested confirmation from brokers
and, when replies were not received, we carried out other alternative 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 each
of the respective portfolios constituting the Marshall Funds, Inc., as
identified above, the results of their operations, the changes in their net
assets and their financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

  Mutual funds are not bank deposits or obligations, are not guaranteed by any
  bank, and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal
     Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other
    government agency. Investment in mutual funds involves investment risk,
 including the possible loss of principal. Although money market funds seek to
  maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, there is no assurance
                        that they will be able to do so.
