Dear Marshall Funds Shareholder,
 
The message for our shareholders remains consistent: Diversification through broad asset allocation may be the primary success factor in reaching your financial goals. This is not just our opinion, but the key conclusion in Nobel Prize winning research and the practical conclusion of real world financial planning practitioners, including the large number of highly qualified investment professionals here at M&I.
 
Despite the importance of a long-term investment strategy that includes diversification as the foundation, there has been a growing emphasis in today’s marketplace on short-term approaches, many of them fostered by new technology allowing easy, daily trading capabilities. An active trader, in theory, must figure out not only when to get out of an under-performing investment, but also when to get back in before it goes up. The reality is, even experts cannot effectively “time the market.”
 
Rather than using the easy trading tools available today to attempt to chase returns, “jumping tracks” as you go, we suggest viewing your portfolio as a train pulled by several engines. Each asset class acts as an engine and takes turn pulling your portfolio toward your goal. Each will have its role and each will have its time. Whether you manage your investments independently or work with an M&I investment professional, we believe this approach has the continuous power to help you meet financial challenges over time.
 
We are taking steps to reduce the negative effects caused by large investors executing market timing strategies within our Funds. The new prospectus for the Marshall Funds discloses a new 2% redemption fee on assets held less than 90 days. This fee has become commonplace in the industry to protect the interests of investors with long-term goals. The fee is retained by the Fund to offset some of the costs resulting from excessive trading activity. Clients of Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company, M&I Brokerage Services and 401(k) participants are not subject to the redemption fee.
 
As you read through the reports that follow, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about the specific factors driving individual fund performance. The Marshall Funds family has clearly defined, true-to-style investment strategies that fit well with a broadly diversified asset allocation strategy. If you’d like more information about how to build a portfolio that is consistent with your long-term goals, please do not hesitate to contact your M&I investment representative, or call us at 1-800-236-3863.
 
Thank you for your investment in the Marshall Funds.
 
Sincerely,
 
/s/ John M. Blaser

Annual Report—Commentary
Marshall Money Market Fund
The Marshall Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) invests in high-quality, short-term money market instruments.* The Adviser uses a bottom-up approach, meaning that the Fund manager looks primarily at individual companies against the context of broader market factors.
 
Fund Performance
For the period from April 3, 2000 to August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 2.63%.** As of August 31, 2000, the Fund’s 7-day net yield was 6.58%.***
 
Fed Influence
The biggest news affecting the money market over the past twelve months was the Federal Reserve Board’s (the “Fed”) two rate hikes, with a 25 basis point lift in March followed by another 50 points in May. These actions were the biggest driver of money market rates, which peaked in May but have settled back somewhat since then as the Fed has chosen to stand pat.
 
Many observers are of the opinion that the Fed has completed its tightening activity, and that its next move may even be one to ease rates somewhat. We actually believe the Fed could remain on hold for quite a while. Although economic growth has slipped back from the torrid pace it has been on, the overall economy is still doing well. Consumers are spending less, but that doesn’t mean they’re spending little. While employment numbers and purchasing managers data are down from their peaks, we do not yet see signs of sufficient slippage to trigger a Fed easing. Overall, the markets seem somewhat uncertain in dealing with an environment in which the Fed could be inactive for an extended period of time.
 
Energy Prices Rising
Another factor the markets are contending with is the impact of increasing energy costs. Some participants are operating under the assumption that rising oil and natural gas prices will cut into corporate profits, hurt stock prices, and slow the economy, while others believe that rising energy prices will trigger higher inflation.
 
Until the impact of these costs has been fully worked out, their impact on the economy and inflation remains uncertain. It is hard for us to believe that they won’t have some lasting impact; transportation costs are a meaningful component of the price of just about every product people buy. Of course, one determinant of energy costs is just how much more oil OPEC is willing to pump. With winter coming, demand is set to move upward. If that winter proves to be harsh, demand could spike sharply—and if supply isn’t there to meet that demand, oil prices could go up equally steeply with impact resounding throughout the economy.
 
Looking Ahead
Our strategy still emphasizes floating-rate notes, which help to boost the Fund’s yield. In the prevailing environment, we find these issues attractive. As the Fund has enjoyed some asset growth, we have been able to commit more assets to this sector. The Fund’s maturity has shortened somewhat, to about 47 days. This reflects, however, how the reset features on floating-rate notes operate rather than a deliberate action. Going forward, we would like to go a little longer if we can find attractive one-year paper to add to the portfolio, but we don’t anticipate making any radical change to the Fund’s stance.
 
Sincerely,
/s/ Richard M. Rokus

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2000
 
1.    Organization
 
        Marshall Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation consists of eleven diversified portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Money Market Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The investment the objective of the Fund is current income consistent with stability of principal.
 
        Effective April 3, 2000, the Fund began offering Institutional Class of Shares in addition to the Investor Class of Shares and Advisor Class of Shares previously offered. The Financial Highlights of Investor Class of Shares and Advisor Class of Shares of the Funds are presented in separate annual reports.
 
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—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. Money Market Fund’s use of the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities is in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value.
 
        Repurchase Agreements—It is the policy of the Fund 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 Fund 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, including accrued interest.
 
        The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Fund’s adviser 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 Fund 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. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair market value. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.
 
        Federal Taxes—It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.
 
        When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions—The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records 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. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
 
        Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
 
3.    Capital Stock
 
        The Articles of Incorporation permit the Directors to issue an indefinite number of full and fractional shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. At August 31, 2000, the capital paid-in for the Fund was 2,059,365,505.

4.    Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
        Investment Adviser Fee—M&I Investment Management Corp., the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective April 3, 2000, the Adviser changed its fee from 0.50% to 0.15%. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
 
        Administrative Fee—Federated Administrative Services (“FAS”), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS was based on the level of average aggregate daily net assets of the Corporation for the period. Effective January 1, 2000, Marshall & Ilsley (“M&I”) Trust Company became the Fund’s administrator. The fee paid to M&I Trust Company is based on a scale that ranges from 0.15% to 0.075% of the average aggregate net assets of the Corporation for the period. All fees of the sub-administrator will be paid by M&I Trust Company, and not by the Fund.

Dear Marshall Funds Shareholder,
 
The message for our shareholders remains consistent: Diversification through broad asset allocation may be the primary success factor in reaching your financial goals. This is not just our opinion, but the key conclusion in Nobel Prize winning research and the practical conclusion of real world financial planning practitioners, including the large number of highly qualified investment professionals here at M&I.
 
Despite the importance of a long-term investment strategy that includes diversification as the foundation, there has been a growing emphasis in today’s marketplace on short-term approaches, many of them fostered by new technology allowing easy, daily trading capabilities. An active trader, in theory, must figure out not only when to get out of an under-performing investment, but also when to get back in before it goes up. The reality is, even experts cannot effectively “time the market.”
 
Rather than using the easy trading tools available today to attempt to chase returns, “jumping tracks” as you go, we suggest viewing your portfolio as a train pulled by several engines. Each asset class acts as an engine and takes turn pulling your portfolio toward your goal. Each will have its role and each will have its time. Whether you manage your investments independently or work with an M&I investment professional, we believe this approach has the continuous power to help you meet financial challenges over time.
 
We are taking steps to reduce the negative effects caused by large investors executing market timing strategies within our Funds. The new prospectus for the Marshall Funds discloses a new 2% redemption fee on assets held less than 90 days. This fee has become commonplace in the industry to protect the interests of investors with long-term goals. The fee is retained by the Fund to offset some of the costs resulting from excessive trading activity. Clients of Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company, M&I Brokerage Services and 401(k) participants are not subject to the redemption fee.
 
As you read through the reports that follow, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about the specific factors driving individual fund performance. The Marshall Funds family has clearly defined, true-to-style investment strategies that fit well with a broadly diversified asset allocation strategy. If you’d like more information about how to build a portfolio that is consistent with your long-term goals, please do not hesitate to contact your M&I investment representative, or call us at 1-800-236-3863.
 
Thank you for your investment in the Marshall Funds.
 
Sincerely,
John M. Blaser
President

Annual Report—Commentary
Marshall International Stock Fund
The Marshall International Stock Fund (the “Fund”) invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies of any size outside the United States.† The Fund uses a value-oriented approach and invests in companies selling at a discount to their global industry peers.
 
Fund Performance
During the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 28.34%,* compared with a total return of 9.55% by the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia, Far East Index (EAFE) and 18.06% for the Lipper International Funds Index (LIFI).**
 
Tech Takes a Hit
Most notable over the past twelve months was the selloff in technology stocks. Telecommunications stocks in particular were troubled as concerns arose about the growth of future demand for cellular service—concerns that were far from the market’s mind just a few months earlier. It has become less clear that companies will be repaid for the significant expense of building wireless infrastructure—and those doubts coupled with high valuations sparked a steep fall.
 
To contend with this changing environment, we have cut our formerly overweighted position in technology to an underweighting. In taking a more defensive posture, we have allocated more assets to consumer staples, financials, health care, and energy stocks. These weightings bring the Fund’s portfolio more in line with those of the index. While our tech overweighting proved somewhat problematic during the correction, earlier it was responsible for powerful returns that contributed to the Fund’s outperformance for the year.
 
We have certainly not abandoned tech companies, but have shifted our focus away from cellular stocks and toward corporate technology—those firms that help companies build their networks, improve security, and enhance productivity.
 
What’s Ahead?
Overall, international markets are shifting away from a high-growth orientation to a more fundamental approach. This somewhat more defensive stance reflects that there are now more questions looming over international markets, including how fast economies will slow, what impact economic slowing will have on corporate profitability, and what impact currency issues will have.
 
Given the uncertainty of sustained economic growth, investing in areas where demand for products is more certain is an appropriate strategy. We’re finding attractive health-care stocks (such as generic-drug leader Teva Pharmaceuticals), as well as financial stocks (such as Alleanza) that are responding to European nations’ move toward self-directed retirement programs. Even in a slowing economic environment, such firms appear poised for good relative performance.
 
Sincerely,

  †
Foreign investing involves special risks including currency risk, increased volatility of foreign securities, and differences in auditing and other financial standards.
 
  *
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
 
 **
The EAFE and the LIFI are not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in a mutual fund’s performance. These indices are unmanaged. Actual investments may not be made in an index. The EAFE is a market capitalization-weighted foreign securities index, which is widely used to measure the performance of European, Australian, New Zealand, and Far East stock markets. Lipper figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper as falling into the category indicated.

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2000
 
1.    Organization
 
        Marshall Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation consists of eleven diversified portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Marshall International Stock Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The investment objective of the Fund is capital appreciation.
 
        Effective September 1, 1999, the Fund began offering Institutional Shares of Shares in addition to the Investor Class of Shares and Advisor Class of Shares previously offered. The Financial Highlights of Investor Class of Shares and Advisor Class of Shares of the Fund are presented in separate annual reports.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies
 
        The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
        Investment Valuations—Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange. 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 Fund 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 Fund 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, including accrued interest.
 
        The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Fund’s adviser or sub-advisor 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 Fund 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. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair market value. The Fund offers multiple classes of shares which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expense of the Fund based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.
 
        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 primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions and net operating losses. Amounts as of August 31, 2000 have been reclassed to reflect the following:
 
Increase (Decrease)
 
Paid-In-Capital
     Accumulated Net Realized Loss
     Undistributed Net
Investment Income

$22      $(1,296,752)      $1,296,730
 
Net investment income, net realized gains/losses and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
 
        Federal Taxes—It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.
 
        Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
 
        Additionally, $3,817,818 of net capital currency losses attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 1999 are treated as arising on September 1, 2000, the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year.
 
 
 
n   Marshall Funds
 
        When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions—The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records 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. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
 
        Foreign Exchange Contracts—The 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, 2000, the Fund had outstanding foreign exchange contracts as set forth below:

   In Exchange For
   Contracts at

   Unrealized

Net Unrealized Depreciation on Foreign Exchange Contracts    $(36,647 )
 
        Foreign Currency Translation—The accounting records of the 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. The Fund does 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 Fund’s 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 period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
 
        Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
 
3.    Capital Stock
 
        The Articles of Incorporation permit the Directors to issue an indefinite number of full and fractional shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. At August 31, 2000, the capital paid-in was $383,036,273.

4.    Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
        Investment Adviser Fee—M&I Investment Management Corp., the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee equal to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
 
        The Fund’s sub-adviser is BPI Global Asset Management LLP (the “Sub-Adviser”). The Adviser compensates the Sub-Adviser based on the level of average aggregate daily net assets of the Fund.
 
        Administrative Fee—Prior to January 1, 2000, Federated Administrative Services (“FAS”), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provided the Fund with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS was based on the level of average aggregate daily net assets of the Corporation for the period. Effective January 1, 2000, Marshall & Ilsley (“M&I”) Trust Company became the Fund’s administrator. The fee paid to M&I Trust Company is based on a scale that ranges from 0.15% to 0.075% of the average aggregate net assets of the Corporation for the period. Also effective January 1, 2000, FAS became the Fund’s sub-administrator. All fees of the sub-administrator will be paid by MFIS and not by the Fund.
 
        Effective September 15, 2000, M&I Trust changed its administrative fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
Maximum Fee
     Fund’s ADNA
0.10%      on the first $250 million
0.095%      on the next $250 million
0.08%      on the next $250 million
0.06%      on the next $250 million
0.04%      on the next $500 million
0.02%      on assets in excess of $1.5 billion
 
        Distribution Services Fee—The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (“FSC”), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of shares of the Fund’s Advisor Class. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Fund’s Advisor Class annually, to compensate FSC.
 
        Shareholder Services Fee—Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Marshall Funds Investor Services (“MFIS”), the Fund will pay MFIS up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Funds’ Investor Class and Advisor Class for the period. MFIS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. MFIS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
 
        Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses—Federated Services Company (“FServ”), through its subsidiary, FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders.
 
        Portfolio Accounting Fees—FServ maintains the Fund’s accounting records for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
 
        Custodian Fees—Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company is the Fund’s custodian. M&I Trust Company receives fees based on the level of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the period.
 
        General—Certain of the Officers and Directors of the Corporation are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.
 
5.    Investment Transactions
 
        Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the year ended August 31, 2000, were as follows:

Dear Marshall Funds Shareholder,
 
The message for our shareholders remains consistent: Diversification through broad asset allocation may be the primary success factor in reaching your financial goals. This is not just our opinion, but the key conclusion in Nobel Prize winning research and the practical conclusion of real world financial planning practitioners, including the large number of highly qualified investment professionals here at M&I.
 
Despite the importance of a long-term investment strategy that includes diversification as the foundation, there has been a growing emphasis in today’s marketplace on short-term approaches, many of them fostered by new technology allowing easy, daily trading capabilities. An active trader, in theory, must figure out not only when to get out of an under-performing investment, but also when to get back in before it goes up. The reality is, even experts cannot effectively “time the market.”
 
Rather than using the easy trading tools available today to attempt to chase returns, “jumping tracks” as you go, we suggest viewing your portfolio as a train pulled by several engines. Each asset class acts as an engine and takes turn pulling your portfolio toward your goal. Each will have its role and each will have its time. Whether you manage your investments independently or work with an M&I investment professional, we believe this approach has the continuous power to help you meet financial challenges over time.
 
We are taking steps to reduce the negative effects caused by large investors executing market timing strategies within our Funds. The new prospectus for the Marshall Funds discloses a new 2% redemption fee on assets held less than 90 days. This fee has become commonplace in the industry to protect the interests of investors with long-term goals. The fee is retained by the Fund to offset some of the costs resulting from excessive trading activity. Clients of Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company, M&I Brokerage Services and 401(k) participants are not subject to the redemption fee.
 
As you read through the reports that follow, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about the specific factors driving individual fund performance. The Marshall Funds family has clearly defined, true-to-style investment strategies that fit well with a broadly diversified asset allocation strategy. If you’d like more information about how to build a portfolio that is consistent with your long-term goals, please do not hesitate to contact your M&I investment representative, or call us at 1-800-236-3863.
 
Thank you for your investment in the Marshall Funds.
 
Sincerely,
 
/s/ John M. Blaser

Annual Report—Commentary
Marshall Equity Income Fund
The Marshall Equity Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation and current income through a conservative and disciplined approach of investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks with above-average dividend yields. The Fund’s investments are structured in an attempt to produce a portfolio that yields at least 100 basis points (one percentage point) more than the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500).*
 
Fund Performance
For the six months through August 31, 2000 the Fund provided a total return of 16.00% based on net asset value,** while the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index (LEIFI)* returned 14.67% and the S&P 500 11.70%. For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of (2.80%) based on net asset value,** while the LEIFI provided a total return of 4.50% and the S&P 500 returned 16.30%.
 
Market Breadth Improves
The past twelve months saw considerable broadening in the stock market, a trend that was favorable for the Fund. In March, technology stocks endured a period of correction, and continued to experience significant volatility throughout the six months. Investors have responded to this volatility by branching out into other investment areas, rather than concentrating as heavily on high-growth technology as they had for some time.
 
The result of this broadening market was a significant improvement in the Fund’s performance, both on an absolute basis and relative to its benchmarks, in the second half of this fiscal year.
 
That’s not to say that it hasn’t continued to be a challenging environment for value investing. But events over the past several months have helped to demonstrate the benefit of adhering to our value style—focusing on good companies at fair prices—even in an adverse market. The Fund’s conservative strategy, driven by dividend and valuation considerations, remains evident in the portfolio. While the price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of the S&P 500 stands at 26.3, the Fund’s P/E ratio rests at a more moderate 17.2. Further, the 2.2% dollar-weighted average yield of the stocks in the Fund’s portfolio is twice that of the S&P 500.
 
Sectors With Strength
One of the strongest sectors over the past six months has been electric utilities, a group with solid representation in the portfolio. This is a little surprising in the current interest-rate environment. Health care, which also occupies a significant portion of assets, has also done well, specifically large-cap pharmaceutical companies.
 
A third sector making a positive contribution to performance has been financials, including banks and insurance companies. With the Federal Reserve Board apparently in neutral, financials were poised to benefit from peaking interest rates—historically an environment that has produced good results for the sector.
 
Sectors where we anticipate solid results going forward include energy, particularly diversified energy companies, which should see improving performance with higher commodity prices. We like these companies not simply because of higher oil prices, but because their valuations do not fully recognize their fundamental strengths.
 
Looking Ahead
As signs of slowing economic growth appear, we find cause for some optimism. Periods of economic softness have historically been positive for the equity income segment of the market. Nonetheless, we’d like to remind investors that investment cycles are not fairly expressed in terms of quarters or even years but in multiples of years. That’s why we believe patience is essential in investing.
 
Although we cannot definitively state that the market has reached a turning point in the relationship between growth and value, the Fund has already directly benefited from the market’s broadening out. We believe this is one indication of the value of our approach, and of a long-term perspective in investing. We remain committed to maintaining a well-diversified portfolio of dividend-paying companies.
 
Sincerely,

Annual Report—Commentary
 
Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund
The Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund (the “Fund”) invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of large-size companies whose market capitalizations typically exceed $10 billion. The Adviser looks for companies that are typically leaders in their industry and have records of above-average financial performance and proven superior management.
 
Fund Performance
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 16.35% based on net asset value.* Over the same time period the Lipper Growth & Income Funds Index (LGIFI) returned 10.73% and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) returned 16.30%.**
 
A Change in the Climate
The conditions that prevailed in the first half of the fiscal year, in which just a few technology-related sectors dominated performance, changed rather abruptly in March. Rising interest rates finally caught up with the equity markets, taking the steam out of more speculative issues. In short, a momentum market lost its drive.
 
This change favored the Funds more inclusive, fundamentally grounded approach. The Funds focus continues to be on those companies that offer the strongest relative earnings growth within their industry. As the economy has begun to show signs of slowing, investors have increasingly sought out higher-quality companies like these. While this discipline served us well in choosing technology stocks for the portfolio, it also has been valuable in some of the more traditional value areas such as financials and energy.
 
A Look at Sectors
Although we have been underweighted in the technology sector relative to the S&P 500, we had concerns about how well that sector would handle decelerating rates of growth. Therefore we are being very selective in this area, looking for those companies that have better prospects for improving their revenue growth despite the challenging environment. These companies include hardware stocks such as IBM and Sun Microsystems.
 
We have been overweighted in energy stocks (relative to the S&P 500) for the past year, although this area has enjoyed significant growth as the price of oil has risen. We still believe companies such as Schlumberger Ltd., ExxonMobil Corp, and Royal Dutch Petroleum Co. have room for additional earnings surprises and stock-price appreciation.
 
Looking Forward
A major challenge for stocks going forward is that more companies will find it more difficult to grow revenues and earnings as hoped. With the economy slowing, more companies are reporting earnings disappointments, with the predictable impact on share prices. These conditions enhance the importance of our fundamental approach to stock selection, with a continued emphasis on high quality, leading companies with strong prospects for future revenue growth.

Annual Report—Commentary
 
Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund
The Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies similar in size to those within the Standard & Poor’s Mid-Cap 400 Index (S&P 400).* The Adviser generally selects companies that exhibit traditional value characteristics, such as low price-to-earnings ratios, higher-than-average dividend yields, or a lower-than-average price/book value. In addition, companies that have underappreciated assets, or have been involved in company turnarounds or corporate restructurings, often have strong value characteristics.
 
Fund Performance
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 9.29% based on net asset value.** For the same period, the S&P 400 returned 39.80%, while the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Index (LMCVFI) returned 19.02%.*
 
The Story Behind the Returns
Although our results for the past fiscal year reflect a lack of strength, we believe that a look at the past six months gives some insight into why we’re optimistic about the outlook for the Fund. In the most recent six months, value stocks began to perform much better—as indicated by this Fund’s 22.23%** return for that period. The more growth-oriented S&P 400 returned 18.34% for the period, while the LMCVFI returned 12.17%.
 
With value stocks beginning to pick up steam again after several years of disappointment, investors in the Fund are being rewarded for our having remained true to our value charter. This turnaround began in March, as the Nasdaq Composite weakened and began a steep correction that was particularly severe among technology stocks.
 
Changes in Fortune
Among the sectors that are improving are financial services, especially insurance. Insurance stocks were beaten down to extremely cheap levels in recent years, below 10 times earnings at a time when the market’s overall average price-to-earnings ratio was more than double that rate. In recent months, insurers have had greater success in raising their rates, improving profitability. Despite their recent improvement, we believe there is still plenty of room for further appreciation in this sector.
 
A similar story is found in health care services. Investors shunned these stocks as cutbacks in Medicare reimbursement rates threatened profitability of companies throughout the sector. However, the tide is now turning, as reimbursement rates are poised for increases. Because we bought stocks in this sector early, we have been well-positioned to enjoy their improvement.
 
We built most of the portfolio’s energy position when oil prices were near their lows of $10 to $12 a barrel. Our contrary stance has delivered results as prices for oil and natural gas have risen to near-record levels, driving up the prices of a broad spectrum of energy stocks. In fact, this turnaround has reached the point where we are beginning to reduce exposure to the sector. The proceeds from the sale of energy stocks will be directed toward sectors currently out-of-favor, but are expected to rebound, including: retail, capital equipment and selected technology.

Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund
The Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation. Fund assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies similar in size to those within the Standard & Poor’s Mid-Cap 400 Index (S&P 400).*
 
Fund Performance
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 71.91%** based on net asset value, compared with the S&P 400 total return of 39.80% and the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index (LMCGFI) return of 72.25%.*
 
Volatility in the Markets
While we are pleased with our results during the fiscal year, growth investing hasn’t followed a straight and easy path over the past twelve months. The Nasdaq Composite began a significant sell-off in early March, when technology stocks were hit particularly hard. The remainder of the spring provided a difficult environment, as concerns about rising interest rates and potential inflation continued to trouble the markets. Exacerbating this were concerns over funding of Internet companies and their long-term viability. With stretched valuations for many companies, it didn’t take much doubt to start a market correction.
 
Summer brought us a steady market recovery as signs of a slowing economy propelled the market higher. The effect of higher interest rates and energy prices, however, are beginning to be felt in the outlook for corporate earnings.
 
Stock Selection Remains Critical
The main focus of the Fund remains to invest in companies with strong organic growth. In a challenging economic and political environment, it becomes even more critical that we continue to seek out industry leaders with solid business plans, strong competitive advantages, and seasoned management teams.
 
Technology stocks continue to account for a significant portion of the portfolio. We have reduced our exposure to consumer cyclicals and consumer staples as a slowing economy has dampened the earnings outlook for many of these companies. Additionally, we have significantly increased our energy and healthcare holdings. We are positioned toward growth opportunity with greater visibility in a potentially less favorable economic environment.

The Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation. Fund assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of small-size companies similar in size to those within the Russell 2000 Index (Russell 2000)*.
 
Fund Performance
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 56.14%* based on net asset value, compared with the Russell 2000 total return of 27.16% and the Lipper Small-Cap Funds Index (LSCFI) return of 48.81%.***
 
Volatility in the Markets
The past twelve months have proved difficult for growth investors. Interest rates are no longer declining which had allowed for earnings multiples (P/E’s) to expand to historical highs. Fears of rising inflation and higher interest rates surfaced, dampening the bullish market psychology which in turn put downward pressure on stock valuations. This change in psychology made it difficult for companies with current high cash needs and only the promise of future profitability to raise additional funds. Internet and certain telecommunications were the hardest hit, when it became difficult to fund their business plans to profitability.
 
The notable exception was biotechnology. The recent news has been very positive with the sequencing of the human genome and numerous new products in the final stages of development. This news was enough to overcome the rising level of anxiety in the overall stock market. These companies were able to raise substantial funds and are now in strong financial positions. Despite the significant run-up in this sector, the Fund has maintained its overweight position in the sector.
 
Another standout was the energy sector. The rapid rise in the price of oil and natural gas has significantly bolstered the earnings of energy companies, resulting in very strong performance over the past six months. With energy prices expected to stay high, we are maintaining our position in this sector.
 
The Role of Stock Picking
The recent shakeout in the technology market should increase the role of stock picking. No longer is every stock in technology appreciating daily—investors are becoming evermore selective. We are focused on choosing well managed companies with well thought out business plans, rather than making large bets on sectors. Technology, however, does occupy a significant portion of the Fund’s assets, and as a result events in the sector will play a large role in performance.

Annual Report—Commentary
Marshall International Stock Fund
The Marshall International Stock Fund (the “Fund”) invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies of any size outside the United States.* The Fund uses a value-oriented approach and invests in companies selling at a discount to their global industry peers.
 
Fund Performance
During the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 28.11%** based on net asset value, compared with a total return of 9.55% by the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia, Far East Index (EAFE) and 18.06% for the Lipper International Funds Index (LIFI).***
 
Tech Takes a Hit
Most notable over the past twelve months was the selloff in technology stocks. Telecommunications stocks in particular were troubled as concerns arose about the growth of future demand for cellular service—concerns that were far from the market’s mind just a few months earlier. It has become less clear that companies will be repaid for the significant expense of building wireless infrastructure—and those doubts coupled with high valuations sparked a steep fall.
 
To contend with this changing environment, we have cut our formerly overweighted position in technology to an underweighting. In taking a more defensive posture, we have allocated more assets to consumer staples, financials, health care, and energy stocks. These weightings bring the Fund’s portfolio more in line with those of the index. While our tech overweighting proved somewhat problematic during the correction, earlier it was responsible for powerful returns that contributed to the Fund’s outperformance for the year.
 
We have certainly not abandoned tech companies, but have shifted our focus away from cellular stocks and toward corporate technology—those firms that help companies build their networks, improve security, and enhance productivity.
 
What’s Ahead?
Overall, international markets are shifting away from a high-growth orientation to a more fundamental approach. This somewhat more defensive stance reflects that there are now more questions looming over international markets, including how fast economies will slow, what impact economic slowing will have on corporate profitability, and what impact currency issues will have.
 
Given the uncertainty of sustained economic growth, investing in areas where demand for products is more certain is an appropriate strategy. We’re finding attractive health-care stocks (such as generic-drug leader Teva Pharmaceuticals), as well as financial stocks (such as Alleanza) that are responding to European nations’ move toward self-directed retirement programs. Even in a slowing economic environment, such firms appear poised for good relative performance.

Annual Report—Commentary
 
Marshall Government Income Fund
The Marshall Government Income Fund (the “Fund”) invests in securities issued by the United States government and its agencies and instrumentalities, particularly mortgage-related securities. The Adviser considers macroeconomic conditions and uses credit and market analysis in developing the overall portfolio strategy. Current and historical interest-rate relationships are used to evaluate market sectors and individual securities. The Fund will generally maintain an average dollar-weighted maturity of four to 12 years.
 
Fund Performance
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 5.96% based on net asset value,* compared with a return of 7.17% by the Lipper U.S. Mortgage Funds Index (LUSMI)** and a 8.05% return by the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index (LMI).**
 
Factors Influencing Interest Rates
Over the past half year, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) raised rates by a total of 75 basis points, adding to 50 basis points’ worth of hikes in the first half of the fiscal year. Short-term interest rates rose in answer to these actions. As the Fed stayed inactive through the summer, however, short rates stabilized and even fell slightly.
 
The Treasury yield curve was inverted in the early part of the reporting period, as long rates were kept in check by the government’s buyback of long term Treasury debt. Toward the end of the fiscal year, however, this inversion began to correct itself. Based upon the proposed spending programs and tax cuts, it appears that the Presidential candidates may not be as committed to buying back Treasury debt to the same extent that many investors had anticipated.
 
Out of the Fray
Despite the interest-rate shifts at the short and long ends of the yield curve, five-year Treasury rates were up only about nine basis points over the year—in other words, they were essentially unchanged. This area of the yield curve is more representative of the area of the market the Fund operates in.
 
Over the reporting period, there was actually very little change in the price of mortgage-backed securities. Therefore, the Fund’s performance is primarily attributable to collecting the income paid by the mortgage securities in the portfolio, rather than seeking capital appreciation by selling mortgages and buying Treasuries. Clearly, few could have predicted just how low yields on long Treasuries would dip. Nonetheless, our stance did cost the Fund some opportunity for capital growth.
 
Looking Forward
Over the past twelve months, the economy’s rate of growth decelerated, but it remains fairly strong. Market sentiment is that the Fed has completed its cycle of interest-rate hikes. Some are even looking for an easing of rates, but we agree with the general consensus that the Fed won’t move in either direction during its three remaining meetings in 2000.
 
Inflation remains well-contained, though it has certainly gone up in recent months. Rising energy prices, coupled with a continued tight labor market, have helped to nudge prices upward, though not to levels that could yet be considered problematic. We anticipate a relatively calm interest-rate environment, which is favorable to the mortgage securities we emphasize in the portfolio.

Annual Report—Commentary
Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund
The Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund (the “Fund”) invests in intermediate-term investment-grade bonds and notes, including corporate, asset-backed, mortgage-backed, and United States government securities. The Adviser’s strategy to pursue total return is to adjust the Fund’s weightings in these sectors as it deems appropriate, using macroeconomic, credit, and market analysis to select portfolio securities. The Fund will maintain an average dollar-weighted maturity of three to 10 years.
 
Fund Performance
The Fund’s return for the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, was 6.10% based on net asset value,* compared with a return of 5.92% for the Lipper Short/Intermediate Investment Grade Bond Funds Index (LSIBF) and 6.27% for the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/
Corporate Bond Index (LGCI).**
 
Looking at Interest Rates
During the past twelve months, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) raised rates a total of 75 basis points. This continued the Fed’s tightening activity from the first half of the fiscal year, but concluded by the end of May. Since then, the Fed has remained on the sidelines, though still with a bias toward controlling inflation. Continued—though slowing—economic strength, as well as tightness of the labor market and rising energy prices have combined to raise concerns about inflation.
 
Rising short rates and declining long rates produced an inversion of the yield curve that only began to correct itself toward the end of the fiscal year. This inversion was driven by the government’s buying back long term Treasury debt. The chief impact of the inverted Treasury yield curve for the Fund was a widening of the spreads between the yields paid by Treasuries and those paid by comparable-maturity corporate bonds. These interest rate spreads were made still wider by the accelerated pace of corporate borrowing.
 
In the next 12 months, we anticipate that there could be room for the Fed to raise rates again, despite some signs of economic slowing. Many of the Fed’ concerns are still in place. Commodity prices—particularly energy prices—are rising, labor remains tight in supply, and economic growth continues even at a slowed rate. Import prices are increasing as well; previously, pressure from cheap imports had helped hold down prices of domestic goods. That said, we don’t anticipate dramatic action from the Fed.
 
There is also a possibility that the government’s Treasury buyback will slow. Both Presidential candidates have outlined programs to increase spending on other programs, reducing the amount of money available to buy back long Treasury debt. There already are some signs that investors are anticipating a slowdown in the buybacks, which is leading to a steepening of the yield curve, correcting its previously inverted state.
 
As the curve steepens, so-called spread products—corporate bonds, mortgages, and agency issues—are in a position to generate improved performance. We will therefore continue to favor AAA rated asset-backed issues and mortgages as means to add high-quality yield to the portfolio. We also will continue to add to our corporate bond positions, preferring the relative liquidity of the primary market over the secondary market.

Annual Report—Commentary
Marshall Money Market Fund
The Marshall Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) invests in high-quality, short-term money market instruments.* The Adviser uses a bottom-up approach, meaning that the Fund manager looks primarily at individual companies against the context of broader market factors.
 
Fund Performance
For the six-months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 2.90%.** This compares with a 2.91% return for the Money Fund Report Averages™ and 2.95% for the Lipper Money Market Funds Index.*** For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund returned 5.56%**. This compares with a 5.48% return for the Money Fund Report Averages™ and 5.59% for the Lipper Money Market Funds Index. As of August 31, 2000, the Fund’s 7-day net yield was 6.03%.†
 
Fed Influence
The biggest news affecting the money market over the past twelve months was the Federal Reserve Board’s (the “Fed”) two rate hikes, with a 25 basis point lift in March followed by another 50 points in May. These actions were the biggest driver of money market rates, which peaked in May but have settled back somewhat since then as the Fed has chosen to stand pat.
 
Many observers are of the opinion that the Fed has completed its tightening activity, and that its next move may even be one to ease rates somewhat. We actually believe the Fed could remain on hold for quite a while. Although economic growth has slipped back from the torrid pace it has been on, the overall economy is still doing well. Consumers are spending less, but that doesn’t mean they’re spending little. While employment numbers and purchasing managers data are down from their peaks, we do not yet see signs of sufficient slippage to trigger a Fed easing. Overall, the markets seem somewhat uncertain in dealing with an environment in which the Fed could be inactive for an extended period of time.
 
Energy Prices Rising
Another factor the markets are contending with is the impact of increasing energy costs. Some participants are operating under the assumption that rising oil and natural gas prices will cut into corporate profits, hurt stock prices, and slow the economy, while others believe that rising energy prices will trigger higher inflation.
 
Until the impact of these costs has been fully worked out, their impact on the economy and inflation remains uncertain. It is hard for us to believe that they won’t have some lasting impact; transportation costs are a meaningful component of the price of just about every product people buy. Of course, one determinant of energy costs is just how much more oil OPEC is willing to pump. With winter coming, demand is set to move upward. If that winter proves to be harsh, demand could spike sharply—and if supply isn’t there to meet that demand, oil prices could go up equally steeply with impact resounding throughout the economy.
 
Looking Ahead
Our strategy still emphasizes floating-rate notes, which help to boost the Fund’s yield. In the prevailing environment, we find these issues attractive. As the Fund has enjoyed some asset growth, we have been able to commit more assets to this sector. The Fund’s maturity has shortened somewhat, to about 47 days. This reflects, however, how the reset features on floating-rate notes operate rather than a deliberate action. Going forward, we would like to go a little longer if we can find attractive one-year paper to add to the portfolio, but we don’t anticipate making any radical change to the Fund’s stance.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
1.    Organization
 
        Marshall Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation consists of eleven diversified portfolios, nine of which offer Advisor Class of Shares (individually referred to as the “Fund”, or collectively as the “Funds”) which are presented herein:
 
Portfolio Name
     Investment Objective
Marshall Equity Income Fund (“Equity Income Fund”)      Capital appreciation and above-average dividend income.
Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund
(“Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund”)
     Capital appreciation and income.
Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund (“Mid-Cap Value Fund”)      Capital appreciation.
Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund (“Mid-Cap Growth Fund”)      Capital appreciation.
Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund (“Small-Cap Growth Fund”)      Capital appreciation.
Marshall International Stock Fund (“International Stock Fund”)      Capital appreciation.
Marshall Government Income Fund (“Government Income Fund”)      Current income.
Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund (“Intermediate Bond Fund”)      Maximize total return consistent with current income.
Marshall Money Market Fund (“Money Market Fund”)      Current income consistent with stability of principal.
 
        The Funds are offered in two classes of shares: Investor Class of Shares and Advisor Class of Shares. Effective September 1, 1999, International Stock Fund began offering a third class of shares, Institutional Class of Shares. Effective April 3, 2000, Money Market Fund began offering a third class of shares, Institutional Class of Shares. Effective October 31, 2000, Short-Term Income Fund will offer a second class of shares, Advisor Class of Shares. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Financial Highlights of Investor Class of Shares and Institutional Class of Shares of the Funds are presented in separate annual reports.
 
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—Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange. 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 prices as furnished by an independent pricing service. 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. 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 wi th remaining maturities of 60 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, including accrued interest.
 
        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-advisor 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. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair market value. The Funds offer multiple classes of shares (except Intermediate Tax-Free Fund), which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.
 
n   Marshall Funds 
 
        Reclassification—Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily attributable to differing book/tax treatments of net operating loss, passive foreign investment companies, and foreign currency transactions. Amounts as of August 31, 2000 have been reclassed to reflect the following:
 

   Increase (Decrease)
Fund Name
     Paid-in-
Capital

     Accumulated
Net Realized Gain/Loss

     Undistributed Net

Income

Equity Income Fund      $       —        $          (210 )      $          210
Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund             (1,235 )      1,235
Mid-Cap Value Fund             (562 )      562
Mid-Cap Growth Fund              (2,892,235 )       2,892,235
Small-Cap Growth Fund      (1,455,843 )      (2 )      1,455,845
International Stock Fund      22        (1,292,847 )      1,292,825
Government Income Fund      270        (270 )     
 
        Net investment income, net realized gains/losses and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
 
        Federal Taxes—It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M 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.
 
        Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the International Stock Fund’s applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
 
        At August 31, 2000, 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:

        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. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
 
        Futures Contracts—Equity Income Fund, 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.

        Written Options Contracts—Equity Income Fund may write option contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver a call, or to receive a put, for the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. For the year ended August 31, 2000, the Fund had no realized gains on written options.
 
        The following is a summary of the Fund’s written option activity:

        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. R isk 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, 2000, International Stock Fund had outstanding foreign exchange contracts as set forth below:

        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. The Fund does 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.
 
n   Marshall Funds 
 
        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 Fund’s 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.
 
        Securities Lending—The Funds participate in a securities lending program providing for the lending of corporate bonds, equity and government securities to qualified brokers. The Funds receive cash as collateral in return for the securities and record a corresponding payable for collateral due to the respective broker. The amount of cash collateral received is maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the market value on securities loaned plus interest. Collateral is reinvested in short-term securities including overnight repurchase agreements, commercial paper, master notes, floating rate corporate notes (with at least quarterly reset rates) and money market funds. The Funds reimburse the custodian for the costs directly associated with each Fund’s participation in the securities lending program.
 
        At August 31, 2000, the value of securities loaned, the payable on collateral due to broker and the value of reinvested cash collateral securities were as follows:

        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. The Funds’ 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 Funds’ pricing committee.
 
        Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

4.    Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
        Investment Adviser Fee—M&I Investment Management Corp., the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as listed below. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
 
Fund
     Annual
Rate

Equity Income Fund      0.75%
Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund      0.75%
Mid-Cap Value Fund      0.75%
Mid-Cap Growth Fund      0.75%
Small-Cap Growth Fund      1.00%
International Stock Fund      1.00%
Government Income Fund      0.75%
Intermediate Bond Fund      0.60%
Money Market Fund      0.15%
 
        International Stock Fund’s sub-adviser is BPI Global Asset Management LLP (the “Sub-Adviser”). The Adviser compensates the Sub-Adviser based on the level of average aggregate daily net assets of International Stock Fund.
 
        Administrative Fee—Federated Administrative Services (“FAS”), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Funds with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS was based on the level of average aggregate daily net assets of the Corporation for the period except for the Small-Cap Growth Fund, which is based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective January 1, 2000, Marshall & Ilsley (“M&I”) Trust Company became the Fund’s administrator. The fee paid to M&I Trust Company is based on a scale that ranges from 0.15% to 0.075% of the average aggregate net assets of the Corporation for the period. All fees of the sub-administrator will be paid by M&I Trust Company, and not by the Funds.
 
        Effective September 15, 2000, M&I Trust changed its administrative fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
Maximum Fee
     Fund’s ADNA
0.10%      on the first $250 million
0.095%      on the next $250 million
0.08%      on the next $250 million
0.06%      on the next $250 million
0.04%      on the next $500 million
0.02%      on assets in excess of $1.5 billion
 
        Distribution Services Fee—The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Funds will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (“FSC”), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Funds to finance activities intended to result in the sale of shares of the Funds’ Advisor Class of Shares. The Plan provides that the Funds may incur distribution expenses up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Funds’ Advisor Class of Shares (except Money Market Fund’s Advisor Class of Shares which may accrue up to 0.30%) annually, to compensate FSC.
 
        Shareholder Services Fee—Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Marshall Funds Investor Services (“MFIS”), each Fund will pay MFIS up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Funds’ Advisor Class of Shares for the period. The fee paid to MFIS is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts. MFIS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. MFIS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. Effective April 1, 2000, the shareholder services fee for Money Market Fund was changed from 0.02% to 0.25%.
 
        Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses—FServ, through its subsidiary, FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders.
 
        Portfolio Accounting Fees—FServ maintains the Funds’ accounting records for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of each Fund’s average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. FServ may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee.
 
 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
        Custodian Fees—M&I Trust Company is the Funds’ custodian. M&I Trust Company receives fees based on the level of each Fund’s average daily net assets for the period. The custodian also charges a fee in connection with securities lending activities of the Funds.
 
        Organizational Expenses—Organizational expenses were borne initially by FAS. The Funds have reimbursed FAS for these expenses. These expenses have been deferred and are being amortized over the five-year period following each Fund’s effective date. For the year ended August 31, 2000, the Funds expensed the following pursuant to this agreement:

     Organizational
Expenses

     Organizational
Expenses Paid

    Small Cap Growth Fund      $35,592      $7,855

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Marshall Funds, Inc.:
 
        We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios 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 Small-Cap Growth Fund, the Marshall International Stock Fund, the Marshall Government Income Fund, the Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund, the Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund, the Marshall Short-Term Income Fund, and the Marshall Money Market Fund (the eleven portfolios constituting The Marshall Funds, Inc.), as of August 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial stateme nts and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 1998 were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 23, 1998 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
 
        We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. 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, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from the brokers were not received. 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, at August 31, 2000, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Dear Marshall Funds Shareholder,
 
The message for our shareholders remains consistent: Diversification through broad asset allocation may be the primary success factor in reaching your financial goals. This is not just our opinion, but the key conclusion in Nobel Prize-winning research and the practical conclusion of real world financial planning practitioners, including the large number of highly qualified investment professionals here at M&I.
 
Despite the importance of a long-term investment strategy that includes diversification as the foundation, there has been a growing emphasis in today’s marketplace on short-term approaches, many of them fostered by new technology allowing easy, daily trading capabilities. An active trader, in theory, must figure out not only when to get out of an under-performing investment, but also when to get back in before it goes up. The reality is, even experts cannot effectively “time the market.”
 
Rather than using the easy trading tools available today to attempt to chase returns, “jumping tracks” as you go, we suggest viewing your portfolio as a train pulled by several engines. Each asset class acts as an engine and takes turn pulling your portfolio toward your goal. Each will have its role and each will have its time. Whether you manage your investments independently or work with an M&I investment professional, we believe this approach has the continuous power to help you meet financial challenges over time.
 
We are taking steps to reduce the negative effects caused by large investors executing market timing strategies within our Funds. The new prospectus for the Marshall Funds discloses a new 2% redemption fee on assets held less than 90 days. This fee has become commonplace in the industry to protect the interests of investors with long-term goals. The fee is retained by the Fund to offset some of the costs resulting from excessive trading activity. Clients of Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company, M&I Brokerage Services and 401(k) participants are not subject to the redemption fee.
 
As you read through the reports that follow, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about the specific factors driving individual fund performance. The Marshall Funds family has clearly defined, true-to-style investment strategies that fit well with a broadly diversified asset allocation strategy. If you’d like more information about how to build a portfolio that is consistent with your long-term goals, please do not hesitate to contact your M&I investment representative, or call us at 1-800-236-3863.
 
Thank you for your investment in the Marshall Funds.
 
Sincerely,
/s/ John M. Blaser

Annual Report—Commentary
Marshall Equity Income Fund
The Marshall Equity Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation and current income through a conservative and disciplined approach of investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks with above-average dividend yields. The Fund’s investments are structured in an attempt to produce a portfolio that yields at least 100 basis points (one percentage point) more than the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500).*
 
Fund Performance
For the six months through August 31, 2000 the Fund provided a total return of 16.00%**, while the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index (LEIFI)* returned 14.67% and the S&P 500 11.70%. For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of (2.80%),** while the LEIFI provided a total return of 4.50% and the S&P 500 returned 16.30%.
 
Market Breadth Improves
The past twelve months saw considerable broadening in the stock market, a trend that was favorable for the Fund. In March, technology stocks endured a period of correction, and continued to experience significant volatility throughout the six months. Investors have responded to this volatility by branching out into other investment areas, rather than concentrating as heavily on high-growth technology as they had for some time.
 
The result of this broadening market was a significant improvement in the Fund’s performance, both on an absolute basis and relative to its benchmarks, in the second half of this fiscal year.
 
That’s not to say that it hasn’t continued to be a challenging environment for value investing. But events over the past several months have helped to demonstrate the benefit of adhering to our value style—focusing on good companies at fair prices—even in an adverse market. The Fund’s conservative strategy, driven by dividend and valuation considerations, remains evident in the portfolio. While the price-to-earnings ratio (“P/E”) ratio of the S&P 500 stands at 26.3, the Fund’s P/E rests at a more moderate 17.2. Further, the 2.2% dollar-weighted average yield of the stocks in the Fund’s portfolio is twice that of the S&P 500.
 
Sectors With Strength
One of the strongest sectors over the past six months has been electric utilities, a group with solid representation in the portfolio. This is a little surprising in the current interest-rate environment. Health care, which also occupies a significant portion of assets, has also done well, specifically large-cap pharmaceutical companies.
 
A third sector making a positive contribution to performance has been financials, including banks and insurance companies. With the Federal Reserve Board apparently in neutral, financials were poised to benefit from peaking interest rates—historically an environment that has produced good results for the sector.
 
Sectors where we anticipate solid results going forward include energy, particularly diversified energy companies, which should see improving performance with higher commodity prices. We like these companies not simply because of higher oil prices, but because their valuations do not fully recognize their fundamental strengths.
 
Looking Ahead
As signs of slowing economic growth appear, we find cause for some optimism. Periods of economic softness have historically been positive for the equity income segment of the market. Nonetheless, we’d like to remind investors that investment cycles are not fairly expressed in terms of quarters or even years but in multiples of years. That’s why we believe patience is essential in investing.
 
Although we cannot definitively state that the market has reached a turning point in the relationship between growth and value, the Fund has already directly benefited from the market’s broadening out. We believe this is one indication of the value of our approach, and of a long-term perspective in investing. We remain committed to maintaining a well-diversified portfolio of dividend-paying companies.
 
Sincerely,
/s/ Bruce P. Hutson

Annual Report—Commentary
 
Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund
The Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund (the “Fund”) invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of large-size companies whose market capitalizations typically exceed $10 billion. The Adviser looks for companies that are typically leaders in their industry and have records of above-average financial performance and proven superior management.
 
Fund Performance
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 16.35%.* Over the same time period the Lipper Growth & Income Funds Index (LGIFI) returned 10.73% and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) returned 16.30%.**
 
A Change in the Climate
The conditions that prevailed in the first half of the fiscal year, in which just a few technology-related sectors dominated performance, changed rather abruptly in March. Rising interest rates finally caught up with the equity markets, taking the steam out of more speculative issues. In short, a momentum market lost its drive.
 
This change favored the Funds more inclusive, fundamentally grounded approach. The Funds focus continues to be on those companies that offer the strongest relative earnings growth within their industry. As the economy has begun to show signs of slowing, investors have increasingly sought out higher-quality companies like these. While this discipline served us well in choosing technology stocks for the portfolio, it also has been valuable in some of the more traditional value areas such as financials and energy.
 
A Look at Sectors
Although we have been underweighted in the technology sector relative to the S&P 500, we had concerns about how well that sector would handle decelerating rates of growth. Therefore we are being very selective in this area, looking for those companies that have better prospects for improving their revenue growth despite the challenging environment. These companies include hardware stocks such as IBM and Sun Microsystems.
 
We have been overweighted in energy stocks (relative to the S&P 500) for the past year, although this area has enjoyed significant growth as the price of oil has risen. We still believe companies such as Schlumberger Ltd., ExxonMobil Corp., and Royal Dutch Petroleum Co. have room for additional earnings surprises and stock-price appreciation.
 
Looking Forward
A major challenge for stocks going forward is that more companies will find it more difficult to grow. With the economy slowing, more companies are reporting earnings disappointments, with the predictable impact on share prices. These conditions enhance the importance of our fundamental approach to stock selection, with a continued emphasis on high quality, leading companies with strong prospects for future revenue growth.

Annual Report—Commentary
 
Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund
The Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies similar in size to those within the Standard & Poor’s Mid-Cap 400 Index (S&P 400).* The Adviser generally selects companies that exhibit traditional value characteristics, such as low price-to-earnings ratios, higher-than-average dividend yields, or a lower-than-average price/book value. In addition, companies that have underappreciated assets, or have been involved in company turnarounds or corporate restructurings, often have strong value characteristics.
 
Fund Performance
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 9.29%.** For the same period, the S&P 400 Index returned 39.80%, while the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Index (“LMCVFI”) returned 19.02%.*
 
The Story Behind the Returns
Although our results for the past fiscal year reflect a lack of strength, we believe that a look at the past six months gives some insight into why we’re optimistic about the outlook for the Fund. In the most recent six months, value stocks began to perform much better—as indicated by this Fund’s 22.23%** return for that period. The more growth-oriented S&P 400 returned 18.34% for the period, while LMCVFI returned 12.17%.
 
With value stocks beginning to pick up steam again after several years of disappointment, investors in the Fund are being rewarded for our having remained true to our value charter. This turnaround began in March, as the Nasdaq Composite weakened and began a steep correction that was particularly severe among technology stocks.
 
Changes in Fortune
Among the sectors that are improving are financial services, especially insurance. Insurance stocks were beaten down to extremely cheap levels in recent years, below 10 times earnings at a time when the market’s overall average price-to-earnings ratio was more than double that rate. In recent months, insurers have had greater success in raising their rates, improving profitability. Despite their recent improvement, we believe there is still plenty of room for further appreciation in this sector.
 
A similar story is found in health care services. Investors shunned these stocks as cutbacks in Medicare reimbursement rates threatened profitability of companies throughout the sector. However, the tide is now turning, as reimbursement rates are poised for increases. Because we bought stocks in this sector early, we have been well-positioned to enjoy their improvement.
 
We built most of the portfolio’s energy position when oil prices were near their lows of $10 to $12 a barrel. Our contrary stance has delivered results as prices for oil and natural gas have risen to near-record levels, driving up the prices of a broad spectrum of energy stocks. In fact, this turnaround has reached the point where we are beginning to reduce exposure to the sector. The proceeds from the sale of energy stocks will be directed toward sectors currently out-of-favor, but are expected to rebound, including: retail, capital equipment and selected technology.

Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund
The Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation. Fund assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies similar in size to those within the Standard & Poor’s Mid-Cap 400 Index (S&P 400).*
 
Fund Performance
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 71.91%,** compared with the S&P 400 total return of 39.80% and the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index (LMCGFI) return of 72.25%.*
 
Volatility in the Markets
While we are pleased with our results during the fiscal year, growth investing hasn’t followed a straight and easy path over the past twelve months. The Nasdaq Composite began a significant sell-off in early March, when technology stocks were hit particularly hard. The remainder of the spring provided a difficult environment, as concerns about rising interest rates and potential inflation continued to trouble the markets. Exacerbating this were concerns over funding of Internet companies and their long-term viability. With stretched valuations for many companies, it didn’t take much doubt to start a market correction.
 
Summer brought us a steady market recovery as signs of a slowing economy propelled the market higher. The effect of higher interest rates and energy prices, however, are beginning to be felt in the outlook for corporate earnings.
 
Stock Selection Remains Critical
The main focus of the Fund remains to invest in companies with strong organic growth. In a challenging economic and political environment, it becomes even more critical that we continue to seek out industry leaders with solid business plans, strong competitive advantages, and seasoned management teams.
 
Technology stocks continue to account for a significant portion of the portfolio. We have reduced our exposure to consumer cyclicals and consumer staples as a slowing economy has dampened the earnings outlook for many of these companies. Additionally, we have significantly increased our energy and healthcare holdings. We are positioned toward growth opportunity with greater visibility in a potentially less favorable economic environment.

Annual Report—Commentary
Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund
The Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation. Fund assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of small-size companies similar in size to those within the Russell 2000 Index (Russell 2000).*
 
Fund Performance
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 56.14%,** compared with the Russell 2000 total return of 27.16% and the Lipper Small-Cap Funds Index (LSCFI) return of 48.81%.***
 
Volatility in the Markets
The past twelve months have proved difficult for growth investors. Interest rates are no longer declining which had allowed for earnings multiples (P/E’s) to expand to historical highs. Fears of rising inflation and higher interest rates surfaced, dampening the bullish market psychology which in turn put downward pressure on stock valuations. This change in psychology made it difficult for companies with current high cash needs and only the promise of future profitability to raise additional funds. Internet and certain telecommunications were the hardest hit, when it became difficult to fund their business plans to profitability.
 
The notable exception was biotechnology. The recent news has been very positive with the sequencing of the human genome and numerous new products in the final stages of development. This news was enough to overcome the rising level of anxiety in the overall stock market. These companies were able to raise substantial funds and are now in strong financial positions. Despite the significant run-up in this sector, the Fund has maintained its overweight position in the sector.
 
Another standout was the energy sector. The rapid rise in the price of oil and natural gas has significantly bolstered the earnings of energy companies, resulting in very strong performance over the past six months. With energy prices expected to stay high, we are maintaining our position in this sector.
 
The Role of Stock Picking
The recent shakeout in the technology market should increase the role of stock picking. No longer is every stock in technology appreciating daily—investors are becoming evermore selective. We are focused on choosing well managed companies with well thought out business plans, rather than making large bets on sectors. Technology, however, does occupy a significant portion of the Fund’s assets, and as a result events in the sector will play a large role in performance.

Annual Report—Commentary
Marshall International Stock Fund
The Marshall International Stock Fund (the “Fund”) invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies of any size outside the United States.* The Fund uses a value-oriented approach and invests in companies selling at a discount to their global industry peers.
 
Fund Performance
During the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 28.09%,** compared with a total return of 9.55% by the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia, Far East Index (EAFE) and 18.06% for the Lipper International Funds Index (LIFI).***
 
Tech Takes a Hit
Most notable over the past twelve months was the selloff in technology stocks. Telecommunications stocks in particular were troubled as concerns arose about the growth of future demand for cellular service—concerns that were far from the market’s mind just a few months earlier. It has become less clear that companies will be repaid for the significant expense of building wireless infrastructure—and those doubts coupled with high valuations sparked a steep fall.
 
To contend with this changing environment, we have cut our formerly overweighted position in technology to an underweighting. In taking a more defensive posture, we have allocated more assets to consumer staples, financials, health care, and energy stocks. These weightings bring the Fund’s portfolio more in line with those of the index. While our tech overweighting proved somewhat problematic during the correction, earlier it was responsible for powerful returns that contributed to the Fund’s outperformance for the year.
 
We have certainly not abandoned tech companies, but have shifted our focus away from cellular stocks and toward corporate technology—those firms that help companies build their networks, improve security, and enhance productivity.
 
What’s Ahead?
Overall, international markets are shifting away from a high-growth orientation to a more fundamental approach. This somewhat more defensive stance reflects that there are now more questions looming over international markets, including how fast economies will slow, what impact economic slowing will have on corporate profitability, and what impact currency issues will have.
 
Given the uncertainty of sustained economic growth, investing in areas where demand for products is more certain is an appropriate strategy. We’re finding attractive health-care stocks (such as generic-drug leader Teva Pharmaceuticals), as well as financial stocks (such as Alleanza) that are responding to European nations’ move toward self-directed retirement programs. Even in a slowing economic environment, such firms appear poised for good relative performance.

Annual Report—Commentary
 
Marshall Government Income Fund
The Marshall Government Income Fund (the “Fund”) invests in securities issued by the United States government and its agencies and instrumentalities, particularly mortgage-related securities. The Adviser considers macroeconomic conditions and uses credit and market analysis in developing the overall portfolio strategy. Current and historical interest-rate relationships are used to evaluate market sectors and individual securities. The Fund will generally maintain an average dollar-weighted maturity of four to 12 years.
 
Fund Performance
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 6.20%,* compared with a return of 7.17% by the Lipper U.S. Mortgage Funds Index (LUSMI) and a 8.05% return by the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index (LMI).**
 
Factors Influencing Interest Rates
Over the past half year, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) raised rates by a total of 75 basis points, adding to 50 basis points’ worth of hikes in the first half of the fiscal year. Short-term interest rates rose in answer to these actions. As the Fed stayed inactive through the summer, however, short rates stabilized and even fell slightly.
 
The Treasury yield curve was inverted in the early part of the reporting period, as long rates were kept in check by the government’s buyback of long term Treasury debt. Toward the end of the fiscal year, however, this inversion began to correct itself. Based upon the proposed spending programs and tax cuts, it appears that the Presidential candidates may not be as committed to buying back Treasury debt to the same extent that many investors had anticipated.
 
Out of the Fray
Despite the interest-rate shifts at the short and long ends of the yield curve, five-year Treasury rates were up only about nine basis points over the year—in other words, they were essentially unchanged. This area of the yield curve is more representative of the area of the market the Fund operates in.
 
Over the reporting period, there was actually very little change in the price of mortgage-backed securities. Therefore, the Fund’s performance is primarily attributable to collecting the income paid by the mortgage securities in the portfolio, rather than seeking capital appreciation by selling mortgages and buying Treasuries. Clearly, few could have predicted just how low yields on long Treasuries would dip. Nonetheless, our stance did cost the Fund some opportunity for capital growth.
 
Looking Forward
Over the past twelve months, the economy’s rate of growth decelerated, but it remains fairly strong. Market sentiment is that the Fed has completed its cycle of interest-rate hikes. Some are even looking for an easing of rates, but we agree with the general consensus that the Fed won’t move in either direction during its three remaining meetings in 2000.
 
Inflation remains well-contained, though it has certainly gone up in recent months. Rising energy prices, coupled with a continued tight labor market, have helped to nudge prices upward, though not to levels that could yet be considered problematic. We anticipate a relatively calm interest-rate environment, which is favorable to the mortgage securities we emphasize in the portfolio.

Annual Report—Commentary
Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund
The Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund (the “Fund”) invests in intermediate-term investment-grade bonds and notes, including corporate, asset-backed, mortgage-backed, and United States government securities. The Adviser’s strategy to pursue total return is to adjust the Fund’s weightings in these sectors as it deems appropriate, using macroeconomic, credit, and market analysis to select portfolio securities. The Fund will maintain an average dollar-weighted maturity of three to 10 years.
 
Fund Performance
The Fund’s return for the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, was 6.35%,* compared with a return of 5.92% for the Lipper Short/Intermediate Investment Grade Bond Funds Index (LSIBF) and 6.27% for the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Bond Index (LGCI).**
 
Looking at Interest Rates
During the past twelve months, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) raised rates a total of 75 basis points. This continued the Fed’s tightening activity from the first half of the fiscal year, but concluded by the end of May. Since then, the Fed has remained on the sidelines, though still with a bias toward controlling inflation. Continued—though slowing—economic strength, as well as tightness of the labor market and rising energy prices have combined to raise concerns about inflation.
 
Rising short rates and declining long rates produced an inversion of the yield curve that only began to correct itself toward the end of the fiscal year. This inversion was driven by the government’s buying back long term Treasury debt. The chief impact of the inverted Treasury yield curve for the Fund was a widening of the spreads between the yields paid by Treasuries and those paid by comparable-maturity corporate bonds. These interest rate spreads were made still wider by the accelerated pace of corporate borrowing.
 
In the next 12 months, we anticipate that there could be room for the Fed to raise rates again, despite some signs of economic slowing. Many of the Fed’ concerns are still in place. Commodity prices—particularly energy prices—are rising, labor remains tight in supply, and economic growth continues even at a slowed rate. Import prices are increasing as well; previously, pressure from cheap imports had helped hold down prices of domestic goods. That said, we don’t anticipate dramatic action from the Fed.
 
There is also a possibility that the government’s Treasury buyback will slow. Both Presidential candidates have outlined programs to increase spending on other programs, reducing the amount of money available to buy back long Treasury debt. There already are some signs that investors are anticipating a slowdown in the buybacks, which is leading to a steepening of the yield curve, correcting its previously inverted state.
 
As the curve steepens, so-called spread products—corporate bonds, mortgages, and agency issues—are in a position to generate improved performance. We will therefore continue to favor AAA rated asset-backed issues and mortgages as means to add high-quality yield to the portfolio. We also will continue to add to our corporate bond positions, preferring the relative liquidity of the primary market over the secondary market.

Annual Report—Commentary
Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund
The Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) invests in investment-grade municipal securities, which includes tax-free debt obligations of states, territories, and possessions of the United States and political subdivisions and financing authorities of these entities. The Fund’s assets are invested primarily in municipal securities providing income that is exempt from federal income tax (including the federal alternative minimum tax). The Adviser selects Fund investments after assessing factors such as the cyclical trend in interest rates, the shape of the municipal yield curve, tax rates, sector valuation, and municipal bond supply factors. The Fund maintains an average dollar-weighted portfolio maturity of three to 10 years. The primary goal of the Fund is to generate income exempt from federal income tax.*
 
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 5.58%,** compared with the market as represented by the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Funds Index (LIMI) return of 5.18%. The Lehman Brothers 7-Year General Obligations Index (L7GO) reported a return of 6.16% for the same period.***
 
Impact of the Municipal Yield Curve
The structure of the bonds in the portfolio benefited from the flattening of the municipal yield curve over the year. The yield curve for municipal securities, unlike the Treasury curve, was not inverted, but its flattening did present opportunities.
 
The barbell structure in place put significant investments at the short and long ends of the yield curve, and our position at the long end—where yields had been falling—contributed positively to the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s average duration was slightly longer than that of its peer group, also contributing to price performance as long yields declined.†
 
Sectors and States
We are actively seeking out opportunities to take advantage of supply/demand imbalances for municipal issues in certain states by selling issues from states with short supply, and buying issues in states with abundant issuance. Increased demand from retail investors has sparked much of this imbalance.
 
Overall, municipal supply is down significantly from a year earlier. Thanks to increased tax revenues generated by the strong economy, the credit quality of issues are generally healthy and improving.
 
Nonetheless, there have been some trouble spots. Health care was a particularly difficult sector of the municipal market, largely because of concerns about government reimbursement levels. Because the Fund did not have a significant weighting there, however, we were able to avoid most of the troubled issues. However, now that these issues have been driven down to undervalued levels, we have selectively added some fundamentally sound health-care issues to the portfolio.
 
On the Horizon
It appears to us that the Fed may be about done with its series of rate hikes. To address this changing environment, we have been moving the portfolio away from its barbell structure and toward a more bulleted approach, allowing us to participate in opportunities that we believe will present themselves all along the yield curve. With the end of the Fed’s tightening activity, short and intermediate rates would be most likely to fall; we want the portfolio to have the chance to benefit more fully from that situation.

Annual Report—Commentary
Marshall Short-Term Income Fund
The Marshall Short-Term Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize total return consistent with current income. Fund assets are invested in short- to intermediate-term investment grade bonds and notes, including corporate, asset-backed, mortgage-backed, and U.S. government securities. The Adviser changes the Fund’s weightings in these sectors as it deems appropriate and uses macroeconomic, credit, and market analysis to select portfolio securities. The Fund maintains an average dollar-weighted maturity of six months to three years.
 
Fund Performance
For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 4.46%,* versus a 5.60% return for the Lipper Short-Term Investment Grade Bond Fund Index (LSTIBI) and a 5.88% return for the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Corporate Index (ML13).**
 
The Interest Rate Picture
In the second half of the fiscal year, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) continued to raise rates, adding two hikes totaling 75 basis points to the raises it imposed in the first half of the year. The Fed has, however, not acted since the end of May, though its bias toward tightening remains. Factors sparking Fed concern included continued economic strength (though this has now shown signs of slowing), tight labor supply, and rising energy prices.
 
While rates were rising on the short end, they were falling on the long end thanks to the government’s buying back long term Treasury debt. The yield curve for Treasuries thus became inverted, a situation that only began to correct itself toward the end of the fiscal year. The chief impact of the inverted Treasury yield curve for the Fund was a widening of the spreads between the yields paid by Treasuries and those paid by comparable-maturity corporate bonds. These spreads were made still wider by the accelerated pace of corporate borrowing. As a result, the Fund’s holdings in Treasuries are very limited; the breakevens on so-called spread product—non-Treasury securities—made them far more attractive.
 
Our Outlook
During the reporting period, we have shortened the Fund’s duration somewhat.*** It’s our belief that there is too much optimism regarding both the government buyback and the potential for the Fed to ease rates. Therefore our neutral stance at the beginning of the calendar year has now shifted to a more defensive approach.
 
We anticipate that the Fed could actually choose to raise rates again in the next year. Although there have been some indications that the pace of economic growth is losing steam, many of the factors that drove the Fed’s concerns remain. Commodity prices—particularly energy prices—are rising, and labor is still in tight supply. And while import prices applied deflationary pressure in recent years, those prices are now climbing as well, contributing to the potential for inflation at home. At the same time, we don’t anticipate that the Fed will need to take severe action to keep inflation under control.
 
As the yield curve has begun to steepen and correct its previous inversion, corporate bonds, mortgages, and agency issues are all in a position to improve their performance. In this environment, we intend to continue to use AAA rated asset-backed issues and mortgages to help add high-quality yield to the portfolio, while also adding to our position in corporate bonds.

Annual Report—Commentary
Marshall Money Market Fund
The Marshall Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) invests in high-quality, short-term money market instruments.* The Adviser uses a bottom-up approach, meaning that the Fund manager looks primarily at individual companies against the context of broader market factors.
 
Fund Performance
For the six months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund provided a total return of 3.06%.** This compares with an 2.91% return for the Money Fund Report Averages™ and 2.95% for the Lipper Money Market Funds Index.*** For the 12 months ended August 31, 2000, the Fund returned 5.88%.** This compares with a 5.48% return for the Money Fund Report Averages™ and 5.59% for the Lipper Money Market Funds Index. As of August 31, 2000, the Fund’s 7-day net yield was 6.33%.†
 
Fed Influence
The biggest news affecting the money market over the past twelve months was the Federal Reserve Board’s (the “Fed”) two rate hikes, with a 25 basis point lift in March followed by another 50 points in May. These actions were the biggest driver of money market rates, which peaked in May but have settled back somewhat since then as the Fed has chosen to stand pat.
 
Many observers are of the opinion that the Fed has completed its tightening activity, and that its next move may even be one to ease rates somewhat. We actually believe the Fed could remain on hold for quite a while. Although economic growth has slipped back from the torrid pace it has been on, the overall economy is still doing well. Consumers are spending less, but that doesn’t mean they’re spending little. While employment numbers and purchasing managers data are down from their peaks, we do not yet see signs of sufficient slippage to trigger a Fed easing. Overall, the markets seem somewhat uncertain in dealing with an environment in which the Fed could be inactive for an extended period of time.
 
Energy Prices Rising
Another factor the markets are contending with is the impact of increasing energy costs. Some participants are operating under the assumption that rising oil and natural gas prices will cut into corporate profits, hurt stock prices, and slow the economy, while others believe that rising energy prices will trigger higher inflation.
 
Until the impact of these costs has been fully worked out, their impact on the economy and inflation remains uncertain. It is hard for us to believe that they won’t have some lasting impact; transportation costs are a meaningful component of the price of just about every product people buy. Of course, one determinant of energy costs is just how much more oil OPEC is willing to pump. With winter coming, demand is set to move upward. If that winter proves to be harsh, demand could spike sharply— and if supply isn’t there to meet that demand, oil prices could go up equally steeply with impact resounding throughout the economy.
 
Looking Ahead
Our strategy still emphasizes floating-rate notes, which help to boost the Fund’s yield. In the prevailing environment, we find these issues attractive. As the Fund has enjoyed some asset growth, we have been able to commit more assets to this sector. The Fund’s maturity has shortened somewhat, to about 47 days. This reflects, however, how the reset features on floating-rate notes operate rather than a deliberate action. Going forward, we would like to go a little longer if we can find attractive one-year paper to add to the portfolio, but we don’t anticipate making any radical change to the Fund’s stance.
 
Sincerely,
/s/ Richard M. Rokus

Notes to Financial Statements
 
1.    Organization
 
        Marshall Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Corporation consists of eleven diversified portfolios (individually referred to as the “Fund”, or collectively as the “Funds”) which are presented herein:
 
Portfolio Name
     Investment Objective
Marshall Equity Income Fund (“Equity Income Fund”)      Capital appreciation and above-average dividend income.
Marshall Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund
(“Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund”)
     Capital appreciation and income.
Marshall Mid-Cap Value Fund (“Mid-Cap Value Fund”)      Capital appreciation.
Marshall Mid-Cap Growth Fund (“Mid-Cap Growth Fund”)      Capital appreciation.
Marshall Small-Cap Growth Fund (“Small-Cap Growth Fund”)      Capital appreciation.
Marshall International Stock Fund (“International Stock Fund”)      Capital appreciation.
Marshall Government Income Fund (“Government Income Fund”)      Current income.
Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund (“Intermediate Bond Fund”)      Maximize total return consistent with current income.
Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund (“Intermediate Tax-Free Fund”)      Provide a high level of income that is exempt from federal
income tax and is consistent with preservation of capital.
Marshall Short-Term Income Fund (“Short-Term Income Fund”)      Maximize total return consistent with current income.
Marshall Money Market Fund (“Money Market Fund”)      Current income consistent with stability of principal.
 
        The Funds (except Intermediate Tax-Free Fund) are offered in two classes of shares: Investor Class and Advisor Class. Effective September 1, 1999, International Stock Fund began offering a third class of shares, Institutional Class. Effective April 3, 2000, Money Market Fund began offering a third class of shares, Institutional Class. Effective October 31, 2000, Short-Term Income Fund will offer a second class of shares, Advisor Class of Shares. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Financial Highlights of Advisor Class and Institutional Class of the Funds are presented in separate annual reports.
 
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—Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange. 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 prices as furnished by an independent pricing service. 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. 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 wi th remaining maturities of 60 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, including accrued interest.
 
        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-advisor 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. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair market value. The Funds offer multiple classes of shares (except Intermediate Tax-Free Fund and Short-Term Income Fund), which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.
 
        Reclassification—Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily attributable to differing book/tax treatments of net operating loss, passive foreign investment companies, and foreign currency transactions. Amounts as of August 31, 2000 have been reclassed to reflect the following:
 

     Increase (Decrease)
Fund Name
     Paid-in-Capital
     Accumulated
Net Realized
Gain/Loss

     Undistributed Net
Investment Income

Equity Income Fund      $            —        $          (210 )      $          210
Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund             (1,235 )      1,235
Mid-Cap Value Fund             (562 )      562
Mid-Cap Growth Fund             (2,892,235 )      2,892,235
Small-Cap Growth Fund       (1,455,843 )      (2 )      1,455,845
International Stock Fund      22         (1,292,847 )       1,292,825
Government Income Fund      270        (270 )     
 
        Net investment income, net realized gains/losses and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
 
        Federal Taxes—It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M 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.
 
        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, 2000, 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:

        Additionally, the following net capital losses or currency losses attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 1999 are treated as arising on September 1, 2000, the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year:

Intermediate Tax-Free Fund      (1,289,890 )       
Short-Term Income Fund      (935,477 )       
 
        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. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
 
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
        Futures Contracts—Equity Income Fund, 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.
 
        At August 31, 2000, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Growth Fund, and Small-Cap Growth Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.
 
        At August 31, 2000, the Equity Income Fund had outstanding futures contracts as set forth below:

        Written Options Contracts—Equity Income Fund may write option contracts. A written option obligates the Fund to deliver a call, or to receive a put, for the contract amount upon exercise by the holder of the option. The value of the option contract is recorded as a liability and unrealized gain or loss is measured by the difference between the current value and the premium received. For the year ended August 31, 2000, the Fund had no realized gains on written options.
 
        The following is a summary of the Fund’s written option activity:

        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. R isk 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, 2000, International Stock Fund had outstanding foreign exchange contracts as set forth below:

        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. The Fund does 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 Fund’s 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.
 
        Securities Lending—The Funds participate in a securities lending program providing for the lending of corporate bonds, equity and government securities to qualified brokers. The Funds receive cash as collateral in return for the securities and record a corresponding payable for collateral due to the respective broker. The amount of cash collateral received is maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the market value on securities loaned plus interest. Collateral is reinvested in short-term securities including overnight repurchase agreements, commercial paper, master notes, floating rate corporate notes (with at least quarterly reset rates) and money market funds. The Funds reimburse the custodian for the costs directly associated with each Fund’s participation in the securities lending program.
 
        At August 31, 2000, the value of securities loaned, the payable on collateral due to broker and the value of reinvested cash collateral securities were as follows:
 
Fund
     Market Value of
Securities Loaned

     Payable on Collateral

       Small-Cap Growth Fund      31,487,400
 
        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. The Funds’ 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 Funds’ pricing committee.
 
        Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

4.    Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
        Investment Adviser Fee—M&I Investment Management Corp., the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as listed below. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
 

 
Fund
     Annual Rate
Equity Income Fund      0.75%
Large-Cap Growth & Income Fund      0.75%
Mid-Cap Value Fund      0.75%
Mid-Cap Growth Fund      0.75%
Small-Cap Growth Fund      1.00%
International Stock Fund      1.00%
Government Income Fund      0.75%
Intermediate Bond Fund      0.60%
Intermediate Tax-Free Fund      0.60%
Short-Term Income Fund      0.60%
Money Market Fund      0.15%

 
        International Stock Fund’s sub-adviser is BPI Global Asset Management LLP (the “Sub-Adviser”). The Adviser compensates the Sub-Adviser based on the level of average aggregate daily net assets of International Stock Fund.
 
        Administrative Fee—Federated Administrative Services (“FAS”), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Funds with administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FAS was based on the level of average aggregate daily net assets of the Corporation for the period except for the Small-Cap Growth Fund, which is based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective January 1, 2000, Marshall & Ilsley (“M&I”) Trust Company became the Fund’s administrator. The fee paid to M&I Trust Company is based on a scale that ranges from 0.15% to 0.075% of the average aggregate net assets of the Corporation for the period. All fees of the sub-administrator will be paid by M&I Trust Company, and not by the Funds.
 
        Effective September 15, 2000, M&I Trust changed its administrative fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets as follows:
 
Maximum Fee
     Fund’s ADNA
0.10%      on the first $250 million
0.095%      on the next $250 million
0.08%      on the next $250 million
0.06%      on the next $250 million
0.04%      on the next $500 million
0.02%      on assets in excess of $1.5 billion
 
        Distribution Services Fee—The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Funds will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (“FSC”), the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Funds to finance activities intended to result in the sale of shares of the Funds’ Advisor Class of Shares. The Plan provides that the Funds may incur distribution expenses up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Funds’ Advisor Class of Shares (except Money Market Fund’s Advisor Class of Shares which may accrue up to 0.30%) annually, to compensate FSC.
 
        Shareholder Services Fee—Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Marshall Funds Investor Services (“MFIS”), each Fund will pay MFIS up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Funds’ Investor Class of Shares for the period. The fee paid to MFIS is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts. MFIS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. MFIS can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. Effective April 1, 2000, the shareholder servicing fee for Money Market Fund was changed from 0.02% to 0.25%.
 
        Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses—FServ, through its subsidiary, FSSC, serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders.
August 31, 2000
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
        Portfolio Accounting Fees—FServ maintains the Funds’ accounting records for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of each Fund’s average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses. FServ may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee.
 
        Custodian Fees—M&I Trust Company is the Funds’ custodian. M&I Trust Company receives fees based on the level of each Fund’s average daily net assets for the period. The custodian also charges a fee in connection with securities lending activities of the Funds.
 
        Organizational Expenses—Organizational expenses were borne initially by FAS. The Funds have reimbursed FAS for these expenses. These expenses have been deferred and are being amortized over the five-year period following each Fund’s effective date. For the year ended August 31, 2000, the Funds expensed the following pursuant to this agreement:
 
Fund
     Organizational
Expenses

     Organizational

Small Cap Growth Fund      $35,592      $7,855

These purchase and sale transactions compiled with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $9,197,873 and $9,636,653, respectively.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Marshall Funds, Inc.:
 
        We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios 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 Small-Cap Growth Fund, the Marshall International Stock Fund, the Marshall Government Income Fund, the Marshall Intermediate Bond Fund, the Marshall Intermediate Tax-Free Fund, the Marshall Short-Term Income Fund, and the Marshall Money Market Fund (the eleven portfolios constituting The Marshall Funds, Inc.), as of August 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial stateme nts and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 1998 were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 23, 1998 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
 
        We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. 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, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from the brokers were not received. 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, at August 31, 2000, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
