INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT
                                                                      OVB[LOGO]

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


    The six-month period ended July 31, 1996 was one of mixed results in both
the stock and bond markets, as the uncertain direction of interest rates once
again dominated investor attention.
    After the spectacular markets of 1995, it was unreasonable to expect a
straight-line continuation of double-digit gains. However, we believe that the
results so far this year would be acceptable against virtually any other
backdrop, and that the markets continue to provide attractive opportunities.

MONEY MARKET REVIEW
    On July 31, 1996, Class "A" shares of the OVB Funds Prime Obligations
Portfolio produced a seven-day yield of 5.0%. Class "B" shares produced a
seven-day yield of 4.7%.
    The portfolio continued to provide total returns in excess of the rate of
inflation, as the market for short-term instruments moved in a relatively narrow
range throughout the six-month period. Looking ahead, we anticipate increases in
short-term rates by the Federal Reserve Board, and are therefore keeping the
portfolio's maturities relatively short in order to take advantage of possible
opportunities for higher yields. 

BOND MARKET REVIEW
    For the six months ended July 31, 1996, Class "A" and "B" shares of the
Government Securities Portfolio each produced a total return of -3.2%. Class "A"
shares of the West Virginia Tax-Exempt Income Portfolio produced a total return
of -0.8%, while Class "B" shares returned -0.9%.
    During the first half of the fiscal year, investors were hyper-alert to any
signs of economic growth, in the belief that a hike by the Federal Reserve Board
would inevitably follow. This skittish attitude dampened enthusiasm throughout
the period, and rates did indeed rise slightly. However, for every positive
economic indicator, there was generally at least one negative report, leading to
a seesaw effect over the course of the period.
    Looking ahead, we continue to believe that the economy will slow down
somewhat in the second half of the year, creating a better environment for fixed
income instruments.
    In light of this outlook, we have continued to emphasize Treasury and agency
issues in our Government Securities Portfolio, avoiding much representation by
corporate issues, which could be impacted by a slowing economy. We have also
maintained our average weighted maturity in the

                                                                    (CONTINUED)

taxable fund within a long-intermediate range of approximately nine years.
    On the tax-exempt side, we have extended the average weighted maturity of
the West Virginia Tax-Exempt Income Portfolio somewhat, in order to take
advantage of the higher yields that are currently available. We continue to
invest primarily in issues rated AAA, in order to avoid situations where an
economic slowdown may inhibit the ability of a municipality to service its debt.
    Both fixed income funds remain fully invested, with very low cash balances.

EQUITY MARKET REVIEW
    For the six months ended July 31, 1996, Class "A" shares of the Capital
Appreciation Portfolio produced a total return of -1.8%, while Class "B" shares
produced a total return of -1.9%. Class "A" shares of the Emerging Growth
Portfolio rose 1.3%, while Class "B" shares rose 1.1%.
    Performance in the equity markets began strongly, but was hampered by
growing concerns over interest rates and corporate earnings during the latter
part of the reporting period. As a result, many early gains were eroded in the
two equity funds.
    To put this period in perspective, our research has shown that any time when
long-term interest rates have moved higher following a period of decline, stocks
have also moved higher -- but generally only for a period of six months or less.
Then, when rising rates begin to erode corporate earnings, the stock market
begins to reflect the realities of a higher-rate environment. From that point
forward, the future of the stock market is determined by the ongoing trend in
rates. The cycle has been repeated time and again throughout history --
including the first half of fiscal 1996.
    This time, however, interest rates appear to have peaked just as their
effects were being felt in the stock market. Having done so, they now appear to
be trending downward once again. Therefore, we are optimistic that the markets
will return to a more positive track during the second half of the year.
    In the small capitalization category, much of the weakness was attributable
to an inevitable correction in the technology sector, where prices of a number
of issues had far exceeded any rational definition of value. In addition, the
market for initial public offerings (IPOs) finally began to cool after nearly 18
months of record-

                                                                  JULY 31, 1996

breaking performance. A correction in this category was both healthy and
overdue. At the same time, we believe that the small-cap area continues to offer
excellent values for investors, and we continue to pursue our approach of
seeking promising issues that offer real long-term value.
    The volatility in the small-cap market provided an excellent environment for
the introduction of the OVB Equity Income Portfolio, which debuted on August 1,
1996. During times of confusion over the direction of rates and earnings,
investors frequently move to the types of solid, dividend-paying, blue chip
issues that compose the Equity Income Portfolio.
    Now that some of the excesses have been purged from the equity markets, we
believe that the current environment of moderating interest rates will allow
earnings and prices to recover once again, and we look forward to a period of
relative stability. During this time, we may increase our cash positions
somewhat in order to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.


CONCLUSION
    Our overall goal in 1996 has been to preserve the gains of the previous
year, while moving forward to take advantage of opportunities for the future.
Thus far, this strategy has been largely successful, as our portfolios have
shown mostly positive results for the period, and are well-positioned for what
we believe will be favorable conditions ahead.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. ORGANIZATION
The Arbor Fund (the "Trust") was organized as a Massachusetts business trust
under a Declaration of Trust dated July 24, 1992 and had no operations through
February 1, 1993, other than those related to organizational matters and the
sale of initial shares to SEI Fund Resources (the "Administrator"), on October
9, 1992. SEI Financial Management Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI
Corporation, is the owner of all beneficial interest in the Administrator. The
Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an
open-end management company. The financial statements included herein relate to
the Trust's OVB Family of Funds. The OVB Family of Funds includes the Prime
Obligations Portfolio (the "Money Market Portfolio"), Capital Appreciation
Portfolio, Emerging Growth Portfolio (the "Equity Portfolios"), Government
Securities Portfolio and West Virginia Tax-Exempt Income Portfolio (the "Fixed
Income Portfolios"). The financial statements of the remaining 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
Portfolios are registered to offer two classes of shares: Class A and Class B
(see note 3).

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Portfolios.

SECURITY VALUATION--
Investments in equity securities that are traded on a national securities
exchange (or reported on NASDAQ national market system) are stated at the last
quoted sales price, if readily available for such equity securities on each
business day; other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and
listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated
at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding sixty days to maturity
for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the most
recently quoted bid price. Debt obligations with sixty days or less until
maturity are valued at their amortized cost.
     Investment securities held by the Money Market Portfolio are stated at 
amortized cost which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost 
method, any discount or premium is amortized ratably to the maturity of the
security and is included in interest income.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES-- 
It is each Portfolio's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated
investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the
appropriate provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial
statements.

                                                       JULY 31, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME--
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or
sold (trade date). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and
interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Costs used in determining
realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are those of the
specific securities sold. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities held by
the Fixed Income Portfolios are accreted and amortized to maturity using the
scientific interest method, which approximates the effective interest method.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--
The Portfolios, except the West Virginia Tax-Exempt Income Portfolio, invest in
tri-party repurchase agreements. Securities held as collateral for tri-party
repurchase agreements are maintained in a segregated account by the broker's
custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the
repurchase agreements require that the market value of the collateral, including
accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default of the
counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral
declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization
and/or retention of the collateral by the Portfolios may be delayed or limited.

NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE--
The net asset value per share of each Portfolio is calculated each business
day. In general, it is computed by dividing the assets of each Portfolio, less
its liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of the Portfolio.

CLASSES--
Class specific expenses are borne by that class. Income, expenses, and realized
and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the respective classes of shares on
the basis of their relative daily net assets.

EXPENSES--
Expenses that are directly related to one of the Portfolios are charged directly
to that Portfolio. Other operating expenses of the Fund are prorated to the
portfolios on the basis of relative net assets.

DISTRIBUTIONS--
Distributions from net investment income for the Equity Portfolios are paid to
shareholders in the form of quarterly dividends. Distributions from net
investment income for the Money Market and Fixed Income Portfolios are declared
daily and paid to shareholders on a monthly basis. Any net realized capital 
gains on sales of securities are distributed to shareholders at least annually.
     The amounts of distributions from net investment income and net realized 
capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, 
which may 
                                                                     (CONTINUED)

differ from those amounts determined under generally accepted accounting
principles. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in
nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or
credited to paid-in capital in the period that the difference arises.

3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATIVE, TRANSFER AGENT, AND DISTRIBUTION
AGREEMENTS:
One Valley Bank, National Association (the "Adviser") serves as investment
adviser to each Portfolio pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the
"Advisory Agreement") with the Trust. For its services, the Adviser is entitled
to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate based on
the average daily net assets of each Portfolio as follows: Prime Obligations
Portfolio--.25%, Capital Appreciation Portfolio--.95%, Emerging Growth
Portfolio--.95%, Government Securities Portfolio--.75% and West Virginia
Tax-Exempt Income Portfolio--.45%. The Adviser has agreed to voluntarily waive a
portion of its fee so that the total annual expenses of each portfolio will not
exceed the voluntary expense limitations adopted by the Adviser. In the event
that the total annual expenses of a Portfolio, after reflecting a waiver of all
fees by the Adviser, exceed the specific limitations, the Adviser has agreed to
bear such excess. Fee waivers by the Adviser are voluntary and may be terminated
at any time. 
     Wellington Management Company (the "Sub-Adviser") serves as the
investment sub-adviser to the Prime Obligations Portfolio pursuant to a
sub-advisory agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") with the Adviser and the
Trust. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser manages the Portfolio,
selects investments, and places all orders for purchases and sales of the
Portfolio's securities, subject to the general supervision of the Trustees of
the Trust and the Adviser. For the services provided and expenses incurred
pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser is entitled to receive a
fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .075% of the first
$500 million of "managed assets" and .02% of "managed assets" in excess of $500
million. "Managed assets" are all of the money market fund assets that the
Sub-Adviser manages for the Trust, including assets of funds other than the
Prime Obligations Portfolio. The fee paid by the Portfolio is based on its 
proportionate share of "managed assets." 
     The Trust and the Administrator have entered into an administration
agreement. Under terms of the administration

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
agreement, the Administrator is entitled to a fee calculated daily and paid
monthly at an annual rate of .20% of the average daily net assets of each
Portfolio. There is a minimum annual fee of $100,000 payable to the
Administrator by each Portfolio. The Administrator has voluntarily agreed to
waive a portion of its fee relating to the West Virginia Tax-Exempt Income
Portfolio in order to limit that Portfolio's administration fee to .20% of its
average daily net assets on an annualized basis. The Administrator also serves
as the shareholder servicing agent for the Trust. Compensation for this service
is paid under the administration agreement. 
     DST Systems, Inc. serves as the transfer agent and dividend disbursing
agent for the Portfolios under a transfer agency agreement with the Trust.
     The Trust and SEI Financial Services Company (the "Distributor"), a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Corporation, have entered into a distribution 
agreement. The Class B shares of each Portfolio have a distribution plan 
(the "Class B Plan"), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act 
of 1940, as amended. As provided in the Distribution Agreement and the Class B 
Plan, the Trust will pay a fee, at an annual rate of .25% of each Portfolio's 
average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares to the Distributor as 
compensation for its services.

4. ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS AND
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
Organizational costs have been capitalized by the Trust and are being amortized
over sixty months beginning with the commencement of operations. In the event
any of the initial shares are redeemed by any holder thereof during the period
that the fund is amortizing its organizational costs, the redemption proceeds
payable to the holder thereof by the Trust will be reduced by the unamortized
organizational costs in the same ratio as the number of initial shares being
redeemed bears to the number of initial shares outstanding at the time of the
redemption. These costs include legal fees of approximately $23,000 for
organizational work performed by a law firm of which two officers of the Trust
and a Trustee of the Trust are partners.
     Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of the Administrator and/or
Distributor. Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving in their
respective roles.
                                                                     (CONTINUED)

6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:
The Money Market Portfolio invests primarily in money market instruments
maturing in one year or less whose ratings are within the highest ratings
category assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or,
if not rated, are believed to be of comparable quality. The Fixed Income
Portfolios invest primarily in marketable debt instruments. The market value of
these investments will change in response to interest rate changes and other
factors. During periods of falling interest rates, the values of debt securities
generally rise. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates the values
of such securities generally decline. The ability of the issuers of the
securities held by these Portfolios to meet their obligations may be affected by
economic and political developments in a specific industry, state or region.
Changes by recognized rating organizations in the ratings of any debt security
and in the ability of an issuer to make payments of interest and principal may
also affect the value of these investments.

<PAGE>


Dear Shareholder:

The period ended July 31, 1996, was one of strong performance and continued
growth for the Prime Obligations Fund and U.S. Government Securities Money Fund.

Our newest money fund, the Prime Obligations Fund, continued to spark interest
among investors. Total assets in the Fund reached $416 million on July 31. Its
7-day yield was 5.34% and its 7-day effective yield was 5.48% at July 31, 1996.
The Fund's total return for the month placed it in the top 4% of all prime
institutional money funds nationwide according to Lipper Analytical Services.

The U.S. Government Securities Money Fund has also performed well this year. As
of July 31, 1996, the Fund had assets of $431 million, with a 7-day yield of
5.17% and a 7-day effective yield of 5.30%. Its total return placed it in the
top 9% of all institutional money funds in its Lipper Analytical Services
category.

In the year ahead, we plan to continue to provide our investors with added value
through prudent asset management and efficient operating practices. We thank you
for your continued confidence in the Prime Obligations Fund and U.S.
Government Securities Money Fund.

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The U.S. economy showed nearly amazing resilience in the first half of 1996 on
the heels of a poor Christmas selling season, Federal government shutdowns, and
one of the more severe winters on record. Low mortgage rates helped to revive
consumer spending. Investor fears shifted from economic slump to economic surge
with a renewed threat of higher inflation. This caused long term interest rates
to rise sharply in the first half of the year. The Federal Reserve's monetary
policy has remained steady during this period.

Currently, economic growth appears to be slowing under the weight of higher
interest rates and increasing debt burdens. Both the housing and auto sectors
have softened noticeably in recent reports. However, the relatively low
unemployment rate combined with limited industrial slack have many concerned
about higher inflation and a need for tighter Fed monetary policy.

THE OUTLOOK FOR INTEREST RATES

Currently, growth appears to be slowing, but the economic imbalances that often
lead to recession are limited. Growth is expected to slow to an average or
slightly below average pace in the months ahead which would help keep the
specter of higher inflation at bay.

In this environment of slow growth and continued low inflation, we expect the
Federal Reserve to hold interest rates near current levels for the next several
months. This uneasy balance between continued growth and contained inflation
should keep both the markets and Fed policy makers on edge. However, as the
future pace of growth diminishes, longer term interest rates should decline,
consistent with a steady Fed policy.

We thank you for your participation in the U.S. Government Securities Money Fund
and the Prime Obligations Fund. We will continue to utilize prudent investment
strategies in our quest for strong investor returns.

                                    Sincerely,

                                    (/S/ Ben Jones)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                    THE ARBOR FUNDS
July 31, 1996                                                        (Unaudited)

1. Organization:

THE U. S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES MONEY AND PRIME OBLIGATIONS FUNDS (the "Funds")
are separate investment portfolios of The Arbor Fund (the "Trust"), an open-end
management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts
business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated July 24, 1992. The Trust is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
management company. The financial statements included herein relate only to the
U.S Government Securities Money and Prime Obligations Funds. The Funds'
prospectus provides a description of the Funds' investment objectives, policies
and strategies. 

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

     SECURITY VALUATION--Investment securities held by the Fund are stated at
     amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under this method,
     purchase discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized ratably to
     maturity and are included in interest income.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--It is the Funds' intention to continue to qualify as
     regulated investment companies for Federal income tax purposes by complying
     with the appropriate provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in
     the financial statements.

     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME--Security transactions are
     accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date).
     Interest income is recognized using the accrual method of accounting. Costs
     used in determining realized gains and losses on sales of investment
     securities are those of the specific securities sold adjusted for the
     accretion and amortization of purchase discounts and premiums during the
     respective holding periods.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--The Funds invest in tri-party repurchase agreements.
     Securities held as collateral for tri-party repurchase agreements are
     maintained in a segregated account by the broker's custodian bank until
     maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase
     agreements require that the market value of the collateral, including
     accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default of the
     counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral
     declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding,
     realization and/or retention of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed
     or limited.

     NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE--The net asset value per share of the Funds is
     calculated on each business day. In general, it is computed by dividing the
     assets of each Fund, less its liabilities, by the number of outstanding
     shares of each Fund.

     DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS--Distributions from net investment income are
     declared daily and paid monthly to shareholders. Any net realized capital
     gains on sales of securities are distributed to shareholders at least
     annually.

     OTHER--On January 31, 1996 the total cost of securities and the net
     realized gains or losses on securities sold for federal income tax purposes
     was not significantly different from amounts reported for financial
     reporting purposes.

3. Administration, Transfer Agent and Distribution Agreements:

SEI Fund Resources (the "Administrator"), a Delaware business trust, serves as
administrator to the Funds. SEI Financial Management Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of SEI Corporation, is the owner of all beneficial interest in the
Administrator. The Trust and the Administrator have entered into an
administration agreement dated August 1, 1994. Under terms of the Administration
Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to a fee which is calculated daily and
paid monthly at an annual rate of .08% of the average daily net assets of each
Fund. The Administrator and Capitoline Investment Services

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (concluded)                        THE ARBOR FUNDS
July 31, 1996                                                        (Unaudited)

Incorporated (the "Advisor") have agreed to waive a portion of their respective
fees to the extent necessary so that the total operating expenses of the Funds
do not exceed an annual rate of .20% of average daily net assets. During the
period from February 1, 1996 to July 31, 1996, the Administrator received net
administration fees totaling approximately .04% of the average daily net assets
of each Fund. Fee waivers and expense reimbursements are voluntary and may be
terminated at any time.

Crestar Bank (the "Transfer Agent") serves as the transfer agent and dividend
disbursing agent for each Fund. The Transfer Agent also acts as the shareholder
servicing agent and custodian of the Funds.

The Trust and SEI Financial Services Company (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of SEI Corporation and an affiliate of the Administrator, have
entered into a distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") dated
August 1, 1994. The Distributor receives no fees for its distribution services
under the Distribution Agreement.

4. Investment Advisory Agreement:

The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Advisor
dated August 1, 1994 under which the Advisor is entitled to a fee which is
calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of .20% of the average
daily net assets of each Fund. During the period from February 1, 1996 to July
31, 1996, the Advisor received net fees totaling approximately .06% and .04% of
the average daily net assets for U.S. Government Securities Money and Prime
Obligations Funds, respectively. Fee waivers and expense reimbursements are
voluntary and may be terminated at any time. The Advisor is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Crestar Bank, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crestar
Financial Corporation.

5. Organizational Costs and Transactions with Affiliates:

Organizational costs have been capitalized by the Trust and are being amortized
over sixty months beginning with the commencement of operations. In the event
any of the initial shares of the Trust are redeemed by any holder thereof during
the period that the Trust is amortizing its organizational costs, the redemption
proceeds payable to the holder thereof by the Trust will be reduced by the
unamortized organizational costs in the same ratio as the number of initial
shares being redeemed bears to the number of initial shares outstanding at the
time of redemption. These costs include legal fees for organizational work
performed by a law firm of which two officers of the Funds are partners.

Certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are also officers of the
Administrator and/or Distributor. Such officers and Trustees are paid no fees by
the Trust for serving in their respective roles. 

6. Concentration of Credit Risk

The Funds invest primarily in money market instruments maturing in one year or
less whose ratings are within the highest ratings category assigned by a
nationally recognized statistical rating agency or, if not rated, are believed
to be of comparable quality. The ability of the issuers of the securities held
by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political
developments in a specific industry, state or region.

Dear Shareholder:

     We are pleased to present this report to shareholders of the California Tax
Exempt  and  Institutional  Tax Free  Portfolios  of The Arbor  Fund for the six
months ended July 31, 1996.

     Federal  Reserve  monetary  policy was biased  toward  ease as the new year
began.  Housing activity,  consumer confidence and retail sales were all weak as
1995 ended,  and the government  shutdowns and blizzards  experienced in January
pointed  to an  inauspicious  start.  The Fed moved  quickly to respond to these
signs of weakness and lowered the federal funds rate twice,  once in December to
5 1/2%,  and again in January to 5 1/4%. A sharp  reversal in the Fed's  outlook
occurred  in early  March  when a series  of  economic  reports  showed a strong
rebound from January levels.  Employment,  housing and industrial production all
showed strength.  Inflation  concerns also expanded and fixed income yields rose
quickly.

     The March employment  report was followed by another surprise in April when
only 2,000 new jobs were created.  This news caused a  short-lived  rally in the
bond  market  which  lowered  the  yield on the  long  bond to  about  6.80%.  A
resumption  of stronger  economic  reports and another far from  consensus  jobs
report for May pushed bond yields sharply higher. A similar scenario occurred in
early July after the release of a strong employment report for June.

     Market sentiment,  therefore,  has been leaning toward a tightening move by
the Fed since March. The news on inflation, however, remains very positive. This
should give the Fed comfort and allow for an unchanged  monetary  policy for the
next few months.

     Total tax free money fund assets hit record levels  during the  semi-annual
period  ended July 31,  1996.  Uncertainty  in the stock and bond  markets,  the
Washington  budget  impasse,  possibility  of changes to the tax code as well as
bond  calls and  coupon  interest  payments  contributed  to this  growth.  This
increase  in  assets  raised  demand  for  high  quality  short-term   municipal
securities  causing  municipal  yields to be  unattractive on an after-tax basis
versus taxable alternatives.

     The need to maintain  liquidity to meet redemptions along with a relatively
flat municipal  yield curve and  expectations of a tightening of monetary policy
by the Fed  contributed to a decline in the  California  Tax Exempt  Portfolio's
average weighted maturity through the end of June. Settlements of one-year notes
issued by California  municipalities for seasonal cash flow purposes boosted the
Fund's average weighted  maturity at the end of July to 43 days,  slightly below
the 46-day average for Donoghue's  index.  Liquidity  considerations  prompted a
contraction in the Institutional Tax Free Portfolio's  average weighted maturity
to 17 days at the end of July.

     Total  net  assets  on July  31,  1996  stood  at  $472.6  million  for the
California Tax Exempt Portfolio and $63.3 million for the Institutional Tax Free
Portfolio.

     Your trust and  confidence  in us is  sincerely  appreciated.  We value the
opportunity to serve your investment needs.

                                        PNC Institutional Management Corporation

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                     THE ARBOR FUND
July 31, 1996                                                        (Unaudited)



1. Organization:

THE CALIFORNIA TAX EXEMPT AND INSTITUTIONAL TAX FREE PORTFOLIOS are separate
investment portfolios of The Arbor Fund (the "Trust"). The Trust was organized
as a Massachusetts business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated July 24,
1992 and had no operations through February 1, 1993 other than those related to
organizational matters and the sale of initial shares to SEI Fund Resources (the
"Administrator"), on October 9, 1992. SEI Financial Management Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Corporation, is the owner of all beneficial
interest in the Administrator. The Trust is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management company. The
financial statements included herein relate to the Trust's California Tax Exempt
Portfolio and the Institutional Tax Free Portfolio (the "Portfolios"). The
Portfolios' prospectus provides a description of each Portfolio's investment
objectives, policies and strategies. The assets of each portfolio are
segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited to the Portfolio in which
shares are held. The Portfolios commenced operations on October 6, 1993
("commencement of operations").

2.  Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Portfolios.

     SECURITY VALUATION--Investment securities held by the Portfolios are stated
     at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under this valuation
     method, purchase discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized ratably
     to maturity and are included in interest income.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--It is each Portfolio's intention to continue to
     qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes
     by complying with the appropriate provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
     of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is
     required in the financial statements.

     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME--Security transactions are
     accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date).
     Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income
     is recognized on the accrual method of accounting. Costs used in
     determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities
     are those of the specific securities sold.

     NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE--The net asset value per share of each Portfolio
     is calculated each business day. In general, it is computed by dividing the
     assets of each Portfolio, less its liabilities, by the number of
     outstanding shares of the Portfolio.

     EXPENSES--Expenses that are directly related to one of the Portfolios are
     charged directly to that Portfolio. Other operating expenses of the Trust
     are prorated to the Portfolios on the basis of relative net assets.

     OTHER--Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid
     monthly to Shareholders. Any net realized gains on sales of securities are
     distributed to Shareholders at least annually.

3. Administration and Distribution Agreements:

The Trust and the Administrator have entered into an Administration Agreement
dated January 28,1993 (the "Administration Agreement"). Under terms of the
Administration Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to a fee, which is
calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of .23% and .30% of the
average daily net assets of the California Tax

<PAGE>


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)                         THE ARBOR FUND
July 31, 1996                                                        (Unaudited)

Exempt and Institutional Tax Free Portfolios, respectively. The Administrator
has agreed to voluntarily waive a portion of its fee in order to limit annual
operating expenses to .33% of the California Tax Exempt Portfolio's average
daily net assets and .20% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional
Tax Free Portfolio.Fee waivers by the Administrator are voluntary and may be
terminated at any time. The Administrator also serves as the shareholder
servicing agent for the portfolios. Compensation for this service is paid under
the Administration Agreement. 

The Trust and SEI Financial Services Company (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of SEI Corporation, have entered into a Distribution Agreement (the
"Distribution Agreement"). The Distributor receives no fees for its services
under the Distribution Agreement.

4. Investment Advisory Agreement:

The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the"Advisory
Agreement") with PNC Institutional Management Corporation (the "Adviser"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of PNC Bank, N.A., dated December 1, 1995. Under the
terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to a fee, which is
calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of .095% of the average
daily net assets of each of the California Tax Exempt and Institutional Tax Free
Portfolios.

5.  Organizational Costs and Transactions with Affiliates:

Organizational costs have been capitalized by the Trust and are being amortized
over sixty months beginning with the commencement of operations. In the event
any of the initial shares of the Trust are redeemed by any holder thereof during
the period that the Trust is amortizing its organizational costs, the redemption
proceeds payable to the holder thereof by the Trust will be reduced by the
unamortized organizational costs in the same ratio as the number of initial
shares being redeemed bears to the number of initial shares outstanding at the
time of redemption.

Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of the Administrator and/or
Distributor. Such officers are not compensated by the Trust for serving in their
respective roles.

On December 15, 1994, Prudential Securities Group, Inc. ("PSG"), an affiliate of
the former adviser to the Portfolio, granted to the California Tax Exempt
Portfolio (the "California Portfolio") the right to require PSG to purchase from
the California Portfolio sufficient amounts of two bonds, at amortized cost plus
accrued interest, in order to maintain the California Portfolio's marked-to-
market net asset value per share at no less than $.9971 (the "Agreement"). The
California Portfolio's rights under the Agreement provided for immediate
exercise upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including reaching the date
of July 19, 1995.

The securities subject to the Agreement were:

   PAR
  (000)                    DESCRIPTION
 --------  ----------------------------------------
 $ 5,000   Orange County TRAN, 4.5%, 7/19/95
 $20,000   Orange County Teeter Note, 4.2%, 6/30/95

On the date of the Agreement, the California Portfolio recorded an unrealized
loss of $3,012,750 for the difference between the market value of the bonds and
their amortized cost and a contribution to capital in the same amount.

On March 13, 1995, PSG extended the date of the Agreement until the maturity
date for each security subject to the Agreement. In connection with this
extension, the California Portfolio recorded an unrealized loss of $29,557 and a
contribution to capital in the same amount.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (concluded)                         THE ARBOR FUND
July 31, 1996                                                        (Unaudited)

On June 30, 1995, the Orange County Teeter Note matured and the California
Portfolio received the full face amount of the note plus accrued interest. On
July 19, 1995, the California Portfolio exercised its right under the Agreement
and put the Orange County TRAN to PSG for an amount equivalent to the full face
amount plus accrued interest.

The California Portfolio then recognized a realized loss of $3,042,307 and a
corresponding reduction in unrealized depreciation in the Statement of
Operations. The realized loss was then reclassified from the California
Portfolio's accumulated net realized losses to paid-in-capital. The
reclassification had no effect on the California Portfolio's net asset value per
share.

6. Investment Transactions:

At January 31, 1996, the following Portfolios had available realized capital
losses to offset future net capital gains through fiscal year ending:

                                    2003      2004
                                    (000)     (000)
                                   ------    ------
California Tax Exempt                61         2
Institutional Tax Free               18         4

7. Concentration of Credit Risk:

The Portfolios invest primarily in municipal money market instruments maturing
in one year or less whose ratings are within the highest ratings category
assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if not
rated, are believed to be of comparable quality. The ability of the issuers of
the securities held by the Portfolios to meet their obligations may be affected
by economic and political developments in a specific industry, state or region.

8. Shareholder Voting Results:

There was a special meeting of shareholders on February 22, 1996 for the Trust
to approve the selection of PNC Institutional Management Corporation ("PIMC") as
the Investment Adviser and to approve a new Investment Advisory Agreement
between the Trust and PIMC. Due to lack of quorum, the meeting was adjourned for
the Institutional Tax Free Portfolio. The following were the results of the
vote for the California Portfolio:

         FOR           238,197,686
         AGAINST         2,658,882
         ABSTAIN         3,889,497

The special meeting of shareholders was reconvened on April 15, 1996 for the
Institutional Tax Free Portfolio to approve the selection of PIMC as the
Investment Adviser and to approve a new Investment Advisory Agreement between

Dear Shareholder:

Hold on to your hat! The changing expectations of investors have contributed to
substantial volatility in the securities markets in recent months.

As our fiscal year unfolded in February, most institutional investors believed
that the economy would continue to grow slowly without any upward pressure on
the inflation rate. A strong employment report, fading hope for a political
agreement to balance the budget, and rising consumer spending combined to cause
bond investors to suddenly become worried about the inflation outlook.
Reinforced in subsequent months by additional news of economic strength,
interest rates were pushed higher until late July.

Stocks, meanwhile, continued to benefit from higher-than-anticipated corporate
earnings. Record net inflows to equity mutual funds helped to extend the rally
even as the bond market sagged. Although many technology stocks have continued
to languish, most equities experienced a "round trip" in July. A rapid plunge in
prices was followed by an equally steep rebound.

At times like this, it is helpful to recall some of the time-tested principles
of investing money. While past performance is no guarantee of future results, it
is a fact that stocks have a superior performance history when compared with
bonds and other financial assets. It is also true that stocks experience
somewhat greater price volatility than bonds. We must keep in mind that this is
not uncommon, and patience during market declines can be viewed as the price to
be paid for higher average returns than other investments.

Peter Lynch, legendary former manager of the Magellan Fund, was making the same
point when he once said that the secret to successful stock investing is not to
get scared and sell them in down markets. Keep in mind that stocks rise in value
during most years, and the market usually recovers faster than it goes down.

Shareholder News:

Investors in Golden Oak retail shares (Class B) have seen some beneficial
operational and service changes in the first half of 1996. A new consolidated
statement was introduced which reports activity and balances on all your Golden
Oak Funds in one statement. A new account change form was provided that makes it
easy to move assets between the Golden Oak Funds. The same form now makes it
possible to automatically invest a preselected amount in each of your chosen
funds on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis. You choose the amount and the
timing, the rest is taken care of for you.

To remove confusion and possible delays, we now have one 800 number
(800-545-6331) where you can get the



                                        2

current price and yield information on each fund, and get answers to your
investment questions. You can also call this line for our new SEP/IRA kits that
provide access to tax advantages and the Golden Oak Funds in one package.

We believe these changes will make your investing with Golden Oak a pleasant
experience and we will continue to look for ways to serve you. We sincerely
appreciate the confidence you've expressed by your investment in the Golden Oak
Funds.



                                        Sincerely,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                         GOLDEN OAK FAMILY OF FUNDS
July 31, 1996                                                          Unaudited

1. Organization:

THE GOLDEN OAK FAMILY OF FUNDS are separate investment portfolios of The Arbor
Fund (the "Trust"). The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust
under a Declaration of Trust dated July 24, 1992 and had no operations through
February 1, 1993 other than those related to organizational matters and the sale
of initial shares to SEI Fund Resources (the "Administrator"), on October 9,
1992. SEI Financial Management Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI
Corporation, is the owner of all beneficial interest in the Administrator. The
Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the
"1940 Act") as an open-end management company. The financial statements included
herein relate to the Trust's Golden Oak Prime Obligation Money Market Portfolio
("the Money Market Portfolio"), Golden Oak Diversified Growth Portfolio ("the
Equity Portfolio"), and the Golden Oak Intermediate-Term Income Portfolio ("the
Bond Portfolio") (together, the "Portfolios"). The Portfolios' prospectus
provides a description of each Portfolio's investment objectives, policies and
strategies. The assets of each Portfolio are segregated, and a shareholder's
interest is limited to the Portfolio in which shares are held.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Portfolios.

     SECURITY VALUATION--Investments in equity securities which are traded on a
     national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market
     system) are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for
     such equity securities on each business day; other equity securities traded
     in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no
     sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price.
     Debt obligations exceeding sixty days to maturity for which market
     quotations are readily available are valued at the most recently quoted bid
     price. Debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining until maturity
     are valued at their amortized cost. Restricted securities for which
     quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value using methods
     determined in good faith under general trustee supervision.

     Investment securities held by the Money Market Portfolio are stated at
     amortized cost which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost
     method, any discount or premium is amortized ratably to the maturity of the
     security and is included in interest income.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--It is each Portfolio's intention to continue to
     qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes
     by complying with the appropriate provisions of the Internal Revenue Code
     of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is
     required in the financial statements.

     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME--Security transactions are
     accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date).
     Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income
     is recognized using the accrual method of accounting. Costs used in
     determining realized gains and losses on sales of investment securities are
     those of the specific securities sold. Purchase discounts and premiums on
     securities held by the Bond Portfolio are accreted and amortized to
     maturity using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)             GOLDEN OAK FAMILY OF FUNDS
July 31, 1996                                                          Unaudited

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--The Portfolios invest in tri-party repurchase
     agreements. Securities held as collateral for tri-party repurchase
     agreements are maintained in a segregated account by the broker's custodian
     bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the
     repurchase agreements require that the market value of the collateral,
     including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default
     of the counterparty. 

     If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or
     if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization and/or
     retention of the collateral by the Portfolios may be delayed or limited.

     NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE--The net asset value per share of each Portfolio
     is calculated each business day. In general, it is computed by dividing the
     assets of each Portfolio, less its liabilities, by the number of
     outstanding shares of the Portfolio.

     CLASSES OF SHARES--Class specific expenses are borne by that class. Income,
     expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the
     respective classes on the basis of their relative daily net assets.
     
     EXPENSES--Expenses that are directly related to one of the Portfolios are
     charged directly to that Portfolio. Other operating expenses of the Trust
     are prorated to the Portfolios on the basis of relative net assets.
     
     OTHER--Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid
     monthly to Shareholders of the Equity Portfolio. Distributions from net
     investment income for the Money Market Portfolio and the Bond Portfolio are
     declared daily and paid to Shareholders on a monthly basis. Any net
     realized capital gains on sales of securities are distributed to
     Shareholders at least annually.

3. Administration and Distribution Agreements:

The Trust and the Administrator have entered into an Administration Agreement
(the "Administration Agreement"). Under terms of the Administration Agreement,
the Administrator is entitled to a fee which is calculated daily and paid
monthly at an annual rate of .20% of the average daily net assets of each of the
Portfolios.

The Administrator has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its fee on the
Money Market Portfolio. Fee waivers are voluntary and may be terminated at any
time.

The Administrator serves as the shareholder servicing agent for the Portfolios.
Compensation for this service is paid under the Administration Agreement.

The Trust and SEI Financial Services Company (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of SEI Corporation, have entered into a Distribution Agreement (the
"Distribution Agreement"). The Distributor receives no fees for its distribution
services under the Distribution Agreement. The Trustees have adopted a
Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act (the "Plan") on behalf
of the Class B shares. The Plan provides for payment to the Distributor at an
annual rate of .25% of the average daily net assets for the Class B shares of
each Portfolio.

4. Investment Advisory Agreement:

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Citizens Bank
(the "Adviser") dated January 28, 1993 under which the Adviser receives an
annual fee equal to .74% of the


                                       16

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)             GOLDEN OAK FAMILY OF FUNDS
July 31, 1996                                                          Unaudited

average daily net assets of the Equity Portfolio, .50% of the average daily net
assets of the Bond Portfolio and .30% of the average daily net assets of the
Money Market Portfolio. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive all or a
portion of its fees (and to reimburse each Portfolio's expenses) in order to
limit operating expenses of the Class A and Class B shares (exclusive of
distribution expenses) to not more than 1.10% of the average daily net assets of
the Equity Portfolio, .65% of the average daily net assets of the Bond Portfolio
and .40% of the average daily net assets of the Money Market Portfolio. Fee
waivers and expense reimbursements are voluntary and may be terminated at any
time.

Wellington Management Company (the "Sub-Adviser") serves as the investment
Sub-Adviser for the Money Market Portfolio pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement
dated January 28, 1993 with the Trust and the Adviser. The Sub-Adviser receives
an annual fee, computed daily and paid monthly, equal to .075% of the average
daily net assets of the Portfolio.

Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management serves as the investment Sub-Adviser for
the Equity Portfolio pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement dated August 31, 1995
with the Adviser.

5. Organizational Costs and Transactions with Affiliates:

Organizational costs have been capitalized by the Trust and are being amortized
over sixty months beginning with the commencement of operations. In the event
any of the initial shares of the Trust are redeemed by any holder thereof during
the period that the Trust is amortizing its organizational costs, the redemption
proceeds payable to the holder thereof by the Trust will be reduced by the
unamortized organizational costs in the same ratio as the number of initial
shares being redeemed bears to the number of initial shares outstanding at the
time of redemption.

Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of the Administrator and/or
Distributor. Such officers are not compensated by the Trust for serving in their
respective roles.

6. Investment Transactions:

The cost of security purchases and the proceeds from the sale of securities,
other than short-term investments during the period ended July 31, 1996, were as
follows:

Intermediate-Term Income ...............     $534
Diversified Growth .....................        8

7. Concentration of Credit Risk:

The Money Market Portfolio invests primarily in money market instruments
maturing in one year or less whose ratings are within the highest ratings
category assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or,
if not rated, are believed to be of comparable quality. The Bond Portfolio
invests primarily in debt marketable instruments. The market value of these
investments will change in response to interest rate changes and other factors.
During periods of falling interest rates, the values of debt securities
generally rise. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates the values
of such securities generally decline. The ability of the issuers of the
securities held by these Portfolios to meet their obligations may be affected by
economic and political developments in a specific industry, state or region.
Changes by recognized rating organizations in the ratings of any debt security
and in the ability of an issuer to make payments of interest and principal may
also affect the value of these investments.
