TERMS YOU NEED TO KNOW
================================================================================
ADVISER is an organization employed by a mutual fund to give professional advice
on the fund's investments and asset management practices (also called the
investment adviser).

ASSETS are the investment holdings and cash owned by a mutual fund.

AVERAGE-WEIGHTED-MATURITY is an average of the maturity dates of the various
securities in a mutual fund based on the dollar value of those securities. It is
calculated by multiplying the market value of each portfolio security by the
time remaining to its maturity, adding these calculations and then dividing the
total by the market value of the portfolio.

CAPITAL APPRECIATION is the increase in the market value of a mutual fund's
securities, as reflected in the net asset value of the fund's shares. Capital
appreciation (or growth) is a specific long-term objective of many mutual funds.

DIVERSIFICATION is the practice of investing broadly across a number of
securities to reduce risk; a hallmark of mutual fund investing.

DURATION is a weighted average term-to-maturity of a mutual fund security's cash
flow.

EXPENSE RATIO is a fund's cost of doing business -- disclosed in the prospectus
- -- as a percent of its assets.

INCOME is the dividends, interest, and/or short-term capital gains paid to a
mutual fund's shareholders. Income is earned on a fund's investment portfolio
after deducting operating expenses.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE is the goal -- long-term capital growth or current income,
for example -- that an investor and mutual fund pursue together.

LIQUIDITY is the ability to redeem (sell back) all or part of your mutual fund
shares on any business day and receive the current value (which may be more or
less than the original cost).

MANAGEMENT FEE is the amount paid by a mutual fund to the investment adviser for
its services.

NET ASSET VALUE (NAV) is the market worth of one share of a mutual fund. This
figure is derived by taking a fund's total assets -- securities, cash and any
accrued earnings -- deducting liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares
outstanding.

PRINCIPAL is the basic amount of money you invest, not to be confused with
reinvested dividends or capital gains.

TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment from the beginning to the
end of a period, assuming the reinvestment of all distributions. This is based
on a formula set by the Securities and Exchange Commission and described in the
fund's prospectus.

YIELD is the percentage rate at which a fund's portfolio earns income, based on
a formula set by the Securities and Exchange Commission and described in the 
fund's prospectus.

INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT
================================================================================
                                [GRAPHIC OMITTED]
                              EDWARD G. RILEY, JR.
                            CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER

In recent years, changes in interest rates have been the pivotal factor
affecting the performance of both the economy and the stock market. In the past
12 months, however, interest rate swings have had less impact on stock prices.
Instead, we witnessed the effect of enormous liquidity on the stock market, as
investors committed record amounts to equity mutual funds. In addition, it
became clear that the stock and bond markets, which had once seemed closely
linked, now react quite differently to news about the economy and interest
rates. Stocks appear to be on a "one-way" climb, regardless of the economic
headlines. At the same time, bond prices have been very volatile, with the
market reacting sharply to almost any economic news.
    Over the fiscal year, that news has varied widely. Recently, the economic
sluggishness that was caused by a harsh winter has given way to a period of
rapid economic growth. In our view, however, the economy is not as strong as it
appears, and we expect to see signals of slower growth later this summer and in
the fall.
     The most important reason for the slowdown will be a decline in consumer
spending, which accounts for two-thirds of all U.S.economic activity. The
economy benefited last year from a surge in mortgage refinancings on the part of
consumers, who responded to attractive interest rates. By lowering their monthly
payments, these consumers freed up cash for discretionary purchases. With recent
increases in mortgage rates, refinancing activity has declined 75% from 1995's
peaks. In addition, the 8% rate on 30-year home mortgages will have a negative
impact on home sales and the economic activity that goes along with them.
    In some senses, however, slower economic growth is simply to be expected in
an economic recovery that has spanned six years. Any pent-up consumer demand has
already been satisfied. We are also seeing other indicators of a mature
recovery, including rising levels of consumer debt and bankruptcies. When these
trends are accompanied by job insecurity, as they are now, consumer spending is
likely to slow even more.
    Fortunately, inflation is likely to remain low. While the abnormally cold
winter pushed up energy and food costs, core inflation rates, which do not
include these costs, have remained subdued at 2% to 3%. Although the second half
of 1996 could see some evidence of rising labor costs, slower economic growth
should help keep inflation well under control.

                                                                     (CONTINUED)

INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
================================================================================
MONEY MARKET REVIEW
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The stop-and-start nature of economic activity during the past twelve months has
resulted in concern about the sustainability of 2.5% real economic growth. In
response to weak economic data, the Federal Reserve Board lowered interest rates
three times during the course of the fiscal year -- from 6.00% in June 1995 to 
5.25% on May 31, 1996.
     Note, however, that the last rate reduction occurred on January 31, 1996.
Improved economic news this spring has caused the Federal Reserve to hold off on
further rate reductions. As a result, short-term investors can still earn rates
in the 5.25% range, which compares favorably with rates available to bond
investors. Assuming that the economy continues to weaken as expected in 1996,
the Federal Reserve may be forced to lower rates toward year-end to forestall a
recession.
    Because we anticipated the decline in short-term interest rates, our
strategy called for lengthening maturities in the 1784 money market funds. As a
result, both Funds performed well, and ended the year in the top 35% of their
Lipper peer groups. Additional performance information can be found in the
Management's Discussion section.

BOND MARKET REVIEW
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While low inflation is good news for all financial markets, it is particularly 
welcome in the bond market. Over the past year or two, it has become evident 
that the bond market reacts much faster and more dramatically than the Federal 
Reserve to signs of inflation--even comparatively insignificant ones.
    As a result, the bond market has been exceptionally volatile. Yields on the
30-year U.S. Treasury Bond have ranged from a low of 5.95% to a fiscal year-end
high of about 7%. Yields were at their lowest at the end of 1995 when it
appeared that the economy might be headed for a recession, and when it appeared
likely that a balanced budget agreement could be reached. They reached their
high point this spring as the economy bounced back from the difficult winter.
    Keep in mind that bond yields and bond prices move in opposite directions:
that increasing yields reduce the market value of a bond, and vice versa.
Shortening the average maturity of a bond portfolio typically makes it less
sensitive to changes in interest rates. We had correctly anticipated both the
volatility and the slight increase in long-term interest rates, and positioned
our fixed income funds accordingly. As a result, most of these funds performed
well during the past year, with four funds finishing the year in the top 35% of
their Lipper peer groups, and with one fund, the 1784 Rhode Island Tax-Exempt
Income Fund, in the top 5% of its Lipper peer group. Additional performance
information can be found in the Management's Discussion section.
    The weakening U.S. economy and low inflation, coupled with lower interest
rates overseas, mean that U.S. interest rates should be more stable, and perhaps
lower, in the coming months--good news for bond investors. Of course, an
unforeseen gain in economic activity or a new economic stimulus program before
the election could raise inflation fears. As we have seen, the bond market will
react sharply and negatively should that occur.

INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
================================================================================
STOCK MARKET REVIEW
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although long-term interest rates remain about where they were a year ago, the 
stock market--as measured by the S&P 500 Index--has increased 28.43%.

     Rather than responding to interest rate movements, a major force propelling
the bull market of recent years, stocks have risen recently in response to
unprecedented liquidity. Consumers focusing on retirement have invested
tremendous amounts in equity mutual funds over the past twelve months. Inflows
to these funds are averaging $20 billion to $25 billion per month. Investors
committed nearly $125 billion to equity mutual funds in the first five months of
1996 compared with $128 billion for all of 1995.
    Although the general equity market trend was upward, the best-performing
categories changed according to perceived levels of economic strength. When it
appeared that the economy was strong, cyclical industries such as steel,
aluminum, paper and chemicals did well. When the economy showed signs of
weakness, investment managers moved into "defensive" industries--those that
typically do well in times of slower growth, such as health care, non-durable
goods, soft drinks and food. For example, health care and pharmaceuticals were
among the strongest performers against 1995's weak economic backdrop, while
stocks of retailers and durable goods manufacturers have done well as the
economy improved this spring. By jumping from one industry to another in
response to economic news, mutual fund managers caused an ongoing "rotation" in
the market, with stocks in some industries soaring and stocks in others
declining.
    While we correctly anticipated this market rotation, we did not foresee the
difficulties that awaited the technology sector at the end of 1995. If we had,
the one-year results recorded by the 1784 Growth and Income Fund would have been
even stronger than its actual 26.32% total return. The Fund's significant
exposure to this industry helped it outperform many of its peers early in the
fiscal year, but when high-tech stocks declined in the fourth quarter of

1995, the Fund's returns declined as well. With the sector regaining strength
this spring, the Fund ended the year outperforming its Lipper peer-group
average. Additional performance information can be found in the Management's
Discussion section.
    Also notable among our funds is the 1784 International Equity Fund, which
ended the year in the top 15% of its Lipper peer group. The Fund offers a well
diversified portfolio and the opportunity to participate in some of the fastest
growing international markets. Research shows that a fund of this type, when
included in a portfolio containing other types of investments, can help to
reduce volatility as it increases returns.
    In the short-term, we believe that the stock market will largely maintain
the status quo - although we do have some concerns about the increasing level of
speculation and a steep rise in initial public offerings, both of which
typically signal potential market downturns. Over the long-term, however,
evidence of disinflation, the growing popularity of 401(k) plans and an aging
population should all help support stock prices.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
================================================================================
THE 1784 U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND

The objective of the 1784 U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund is to preserve
principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current 
income. As of May 31, 1996, the Fund had grown to $79.0 million in assets.
    For the year ended May 31, 1996, the Fund had a total return of 5.16%,
compared with 5.07% for the IBC/Donoghue U.S. Government & Agencies Average, and
5.02% for the Lipper U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds Average. Based on total
return, the Fund ranked among the top 30% (27 out of 92) of the Lipper U.S.
Treasury Money Market Funds for the period June 1, 1995 to May 31, 1996. The
7-day yield as of May 31, 1996, was 4.44%. The Fund's return and resulting
ranking are net of waiver of certain expenses. (See Financial Highlights).
    On December 8, 1995, the Fund's `AAAm' rating was again confirmed by
Standard & Poor's. The rating is based on an analysis of the Fund's credit
quality, market price exposure and management. The rating signifies that in the
opinion of Standard & Poor's, the Fund offers excellent safety of investment
principal and superior capacity to maintain a $1.00 per share net asset value at
all times. The Fund attempts to maintain these characteristics through
conservative investment practices and strict internal controls. The Fund is
reviewed on a weekly basis by Standard & Poor's.
    The Fund invests primarily in U.S. Government agency securities and U.S.
Treasury obligations. The most important factor influencing the Fund's
performance in the past fiscal year was the reduction of interest rates by the
Federal Reserve Board in its effort to forestall economic recession. By the end
of the year, the Federal Funds rate had been lowered three times, from 6.00% in
June 1995 to 5.25% on May 31, 1996. The Fund anticipated these reductions and
extended maturities when possible.
    The Fund's average-weighted-maturity,
as of May 31, 1996, 50 days, remains shorter than similar funds measured by
IBC/Donoghue Money Fund Averages. As current holdings mature, the Fund will be
managed with the goal of maintaining its `AAAm' rating.

================================================================================
THE 1784 TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND

The 1784 Tax-Free Money Market Fund's objective is to preserve principal value
and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income exempt
from Federal income taxes. Since inception in June 1993, the Fund has grown to
a total of $549.6 million in assets.
    For the year ended May 31, 1996, the Fund had a total return of 3.55%,
compared with 3.16% for the IBC/Donoghue Stockbroker & General Purpose Tax-Free
Average, and 3.14% for the Lipper Tax-Free Money Market Funds Average. Based on
this return, the Fund was ranked in the top 6% (8th out of 136) within the
IBC/Donoghue Tax-Free General Purpose Funds category  for the period of June 1,
1995 to May 31, 1996. It also places the Fund among the top 8% (10 out of 131) 
of the Lipper Tax-Free Money Market Funds for the period June 1, 1995 to May 31,
1996. The 7-day yield as of May 31, 1996, was 3.18%. The Fund's return and 
resulting ranking are net of waiver of management fees and certain expenses. 
(See Financial Highlights).
    The Fund's strong performance can also be traced to the relatively longer 
average weighted maturity of the Fund (75 days on May 31, 1996) compared to 
similar funds (52 days on May 31, 1996), and a strategy that includes purchasing
and holding securities of low-tax and non-tax states, and in some cases, 
securities that are subject to income tax.
    The Fund is an actively managed national portfolio of investment grade money
market securities. The assets of the Fund are diversified among general
obligation securities and those issued to finance hospitals, education, housing,
transportation, utilities, industrial development and other municipal purposes.

MANAGEMENT-S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)
================================================================================
THE 1784 SHORT-TERM INCOME FUND

The objective of the 1784 Short-Term Income Fund is to maximize current income.
Preservation of capital is a secondary objective.
    Since its inception in July 1994, the Fund has grown to a total of $86.4
million in assets. For the year ended May 31, 1996, the Fund had a total return
of 4.87%, compared with 5.01% for the Lehman Brothers Mutual Fund 1- 5 Year
Corporate Government Index, and 4.92% for the Lipper Short Investment-Grade Debt
Funds Average. Based on total return, the Fund ranked among the top half (46 out
of 92) of the Lipper Short Investment-Grade Debt Funds for the period June 1,
1995 to May 31, 1996. The Fund's return and resulting ranking are net of waiver
of management fees and certain expenses. (See Financial Highlights).
     The Fund's performance can be attributed primarily to the Fund's
average-weighted- maturity and duration, which were slightly longer than the
average for the Lehman Brothers index. While this strategy benefited the Fund
during the first eight months of the period, it had a negative impact on
performance from February through April, when interest rates increased.
     All bonds currently held by the Fund are investment grade and on May 31,
1996, 36% of these bonds were rated AA or higher by either Moody's or Standard &
Poor's. The assets of the Fund are diversified on a quality basis and among
government, corporate, asset-backed and taxable municipal securities. On May 31,
1996, the average-weighted- maturity of the portfolio was approximately 2.7
years, and the Fund had a duration of 1.7 years.

THE 1784  U.S. GOVERNMENT MEDIUM-TERM INCOME FUND

The objective of the 1784 U.S. Government Medium-Term Income Fund is current
income consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund is an actively managed
portfolio of U.S. Treasury and agency short- to intermediate-term securities.
    Since its inception in June 1993, the Fund has grown to a total of $167.5
million in assets. For the year ended May 31, 1996, the Fund had a total return
of 3.65% compared with 4.53% for the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government
Bond Index, and 3.25% for the Lipper Intermediate Term U.S. Government Funds
Average. Based on total return, the Fund ranked among the top 35% (38 out of
114) of the Lipper Intermediate U.S. Government Funds for the period June 1,
1995 to May 31, 1996. The Fund's return and resulting ranking are net of waiver
of management fees and certain expenses. (See Financial Highlights).
    The Fund's performance can be attributed to several factors, including a
focus on credit quality; a relatively longer average-weighted-maturity and
duration than similar funds, which helped performance during the first half of
the fiscal year; and a reduction in the Fund's position in discount mortgages to
realize gains.
    The assets of the Fund are diversified on a sector basis and among Treasury,
agency and mortgage securities. The Fund's securities are concentrated in the
2-year to 10-year maturity range. On May 31, 1996, the average-weighted-maturity
of the portfolio was approximately 7.7

years, and the Fund had a duration of 5.1 years.
    During the past year, as it appeared that economic growth was beginning to
slow, we extended the Fund's maturity in anticipation of an overall decline in
interest rates. In addition, we increased the Fund's investment in current
coupon mortgages. Both moves helped to generate a higher level of income. We
will continue to increase maturities and income as opportunities arise.

MANAGEMENT-S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)
================================================================================
THE 1784 INCOME FUND

The objective of the 1784 Income Fund is to maximize current income.
Preservation of capital is a secondary objective. The Fund is an actively
managed portfolio of investment-grade intermediate- to long-term securities.
    Since its inception in July 1994, the Fund has grown to a total of $235.0
million in assets. For the year ended May 31, 1996, the Fund had a total return
of 2.64%, compared with 4.38% for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, and
3.43% for the Lipper Corporate Debt A-Rated Funds Average. The Fund's return is
net of waiver of management fees and certain expenses. (See Financial
Highlights).
    The Fund's underperformance can be attributed in large measure to its focus
on credit quality--the average quality of the Fund's portfolio is AA+.
Year-to-date, higher quality issues have underperformed non-investment grade
securities.
    The assets of the Fund are diversified among government, corporate,
asset-backed and taxable municipal securities. On May 31, 1996 the
average-weighted-maturity of the portfolio was approximately 14 years with a
duration of approximately 6 years.
    During the past year, we maintained an average-weighted-maturity that was
longer than that of the Lehman Brothers index in the belief that the economic
weakness of fourth quarter 1995 would extend into 1996. As a result, the Fund
was more sensitive to changing interest rates during the past five months. We
believe that interest rates will remain in a narrow range over the next 12
months and that the higher income generated by investing in longer- maturity
bonds will benefit investors.

THE 1784 TAX-EXEMPT MEDIUM TERM INCOME FUND

The objective of the 1784 Tax-Exempt Medium-Term Income Fund is to provide
current income exempt from Federal income taxes consistent with the preservation
of capital. On May 31, 1996, the Fund's assets totaled $196.8 million.
    Total return for the year ended May 31, 1996 was 4.31%, compared with 3.86%
for the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Funds Average, and the Fund ranked in the
top 30% (36 of 134) of the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Funds. The Fund lagged
the Lehman Brothers 7-Year Municipal Bond Index's 4.64% total return, however,
which we attribute to the Fund's emphasis on maximizing current income and
optimizing total return as reflected by the Fund's slightly higher relative
average-weighted-maturity and effective duration. The Fund's return and
resulting ranking are net of waiver of management fees and certain expenses.
(See Financial Highlights).
    The Fund purchases tax-exempt municipal bonds and notes with maturities
generally 10 years or less and predominantly in the top three rating categories
(AAA, AA or A) by either Moody's or Standard & Poor's. In general, no single
investment will exceed 5% of the total portfolio at cost, while no single issuer
will exceed 10% of the total portfolio at cost, unless the investment is an
obligation of the U.S. Government and/or its direct agencies. The Fund achieves
incremental income, yield, and price stability by emphasizing both geographical
and sector diversity.

THE 1784 CONNECTICUT TAX-EXEMPT INCOME FUND

The objective of the 1784 Connecticut Tax-Exempt Income Fund is current income
exempt from Federal and Connecticut personal income taxes. Preservation of
capital is a secondary objective. Since its inception in August 1994, the Fund
has grown to more than $81.4 million in assets.
     Total return for the year ended May 31, 1996 was 4.20%, compared with 3.60%
for the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Mutual Fund Average, and
the Fund ranked in the top 20% (12 out of 67) of the Lipper Other States
Intermediate Municipal Funds. The Fund lagged the Lehman Brothers 7-Year
Municipal Bond Index's 4.64% total return, as well as the Lehman Brothers
10-year Municipal Bond Index's 4.73% total return for the same period. We
attribute this performance to the Fund's emphasis on maximizing current income

THE 1784 MASSACHUSETTS TAX-EXEMPT INCOME FUND

The objective of the 1784 Massachusetts Tax-Exempt Income Fund is current income
consistent with the preservation of capital, exempt from both Federal and
Massachusetts personal income taxes. The Fund is an actively managed,
state-specific portfolio of investment-grade, intermediate- to longer-term
securities.
    Since its inception in June 1993, the Fund has grown to a total of $106.6
million in assets. For the year ended May 31, 1996, the Fund had a total return
of 3.64%, compared with 4.73% for the Lehman Brothers 10-year Municipal Bond
Index and 3.60% for the Lipper MA Intermediate Municipal Funds Average. The
Fund's return is net of waiver of management fees and certain expenses. (See
Financial Highlights).
    Important factors affecting the Fund's performance included the investment
in premium coupon bonds to increase income levels and a focus on high credit
quality. In addition, the Fund had a relatively longer average-weighted-maturity
and duration than similar funds--9.1 years and 6.8 years respectively.
    As of May 31, 1996, 49.1% of the bonds in the Fund were rated AA or higher
by either Moody's or Standard & Poor's. The assets of the Fund are diversified
among general obligations and revenue bonds issued to finance hospitals,
education, housing, transportation, utilities, industrial development and
municipalities.
    During the past year, the Fund was positioned in expectation of a continued 
decline

protect against principal fluctuations when interest rates increased during
1996. Consistent with our investment outlook, cash reserves were kept relatively
low in anticipation of market strength. We will continue to focus on improving
the Fund's current dividend yield and increasing holdings of high-quality,
tax-exempt securities as market conditions warrant.

MANAGEMENT-S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)
================================================================================
THE 1784  ASSET ALLOCATION FUND

The objective of the 1784 Asset Allocation Fund is to achieve a favorable total
rate of return through current income and capital appreciation consistent with
preservation of capital, derived from investing in fixed income and equity
securities.
    During the past 12 months, the Fund's assets have increased from $8.6
million to $16.8 million. For the year ended May 31, 1996, the Fund had a total
return of 17.83%, compared with 28.43% for the S&P 500 Composite Index, 4.38%
for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, and 18.37% for the Lipper Flexible
Portfolio Funds Average, placing it in the top half (84 out of 176) of the
Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds for the period from June 1, 1995 to May 31,
1996. The Fund's return and resulting ranking are net of waiver of management
fees and certain expenses. (See Financial Highlights).
    On May 31, 1996, the Fund's allocation was 54% common stocks, 36% bonds and
10% short-term money market instruments. This represents little change since the
end of the prior fiscal year despite considerable activity during the 12-month
period. The Fund increased its investment in bonds, particularly in the second
half of 1995, in response to the lowering of interest rates by the Federal
Reserve and a weakening economy. This strategy improved overall returns
somewhat, but much of the gain was lost as the economy strengthened and interest
rates rose in the first half of 1996.
    Last year and 1996 to date have witnessed unusually strong stock market
performance. With a total return of 33% for the fiscal year, the Fund's equity
holdings exceeded the total return of the S&P 500 by almost five percentage
points. Our asset allocation strategy remained conservative throughout the year.
We continued to focus new equity investment on predictable growth companies,
with a special focus on health care. Funds were also channeled into the
financial sector, a beneficiary of consolidation and declining interest rates.
Technology investments were increased gradually to a full market weighting after
the dramatic group correction in the second half

of 1995. Energy and energy service holdings also performed well as world crude 
prices rose sharply in early 1996.
    While the Fund has generally focused on large capitalization growth
companies, we have recently added mid-capitalization growth stocks. The Fund's
33 stock holdings are broadly diversified across all major S&P sectors.
International stocks represent 12% of total equity values.
    Current asset allocations reflect a cautious attitude toward the financial
markets in the near term. The fixed income portfolio of the Fund is of high
quality and moderate duration. We anticipate that the economy will slow
throughout the remainder of this year, with little inflation, which should
improve the return of our fixed income holdings. Our equity position emphasizes
defensive growth and we are maintaining modest cash reserves.

THE 1784 GROWTH AND INCOME FUND

The objective of the 1784 Growth and Income Fund is long-term growth of capital
with a secondary objective of income.
    During the past 12 months, the Fund's assets have increased to $303.5
million. For the year ended May 31, 1996, the Fund had an annualized total
return of 26.32%, compared with 28.43% for the S&P 500 Composite Index, and
25.24% for the Lipper Growth and Income Average. Based on total return, the Fund
ranked among the top 40% (193 out of 483) of the Lipper Growth & Income Funds
for the period June 1, 1995 to May 31, 1996. The Fund's return and resulting
ranking are net of waiver of management fees and certain expenses. (See
Financial Highlights).
    For the first quarter of the fiscal year, the Fund posted a strong total
return of 8.25%, compared with 5.96% for the S&P 500. These results can be
attributed to the Fund's high level of investment in the technology sector,
which continued to post solid gains. Representative holdings included Intel,
Motorola, and Texas Instruments. Foreign holdings such as SAP, Carrefour and
Hornbach also performed well.

    During the second and third fiscal quarters, technology stocks declined,
causing the Fund to underperform the S&P 500; total returns were 6.47% and
14.91% respectively. Also, while non-technology sectors of the U.S. market
produced excellent returns, European stocks remained largely unchanged in the
third quarter as that region's recession continued.

                                                                     (CONTINUED)

PAST PERFORMANCE OF  THE FUND IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.

Aiding our performance in this period were holdings in the energy, restaurant, 
and specialty retail sectors, including Schlumberger, Royal Dutch, Exxon, 
Outback, Lone Star Steakhouse, Papa John's, and Bed, Bath and Beyond.
    In the fourth fiscal quarter, the Fund outperformed the S&P 500; total
returns were 9.60% and 3.40% respectively. The Fund's growth stocks performed
well and by the end of March, the technology sector began to improve. In
particular, the Fund benefited from investments in U.S. companies like Security
Dynamics, Cambridge Technology Partners, and Cisco Systems. In addition, the
Fund's English and French holdings--for example, J.D. Wetherspoon, Pizza
Express, and Grand Optical Photoservice--posted strong gains, while German
holdings remained flat.
    In the coming year, the Fund will continue to invest primarily in stocks,
focusing on high-quality growth companies with strong revenue and earnings
increases. We expect growth stocks, technology and cyclical companies to
outperform the stock market as a whole. We plan to maintain foreign exposure at
20% to 25% of the Fund's assets because we believe many of these markets are
undervalued, and despite their underperformance over the past 12 months, they
should begin to outperform the U.S. market.

                                                                              23

================================================================================
THE 1784 GROWTH FUND


The objective of the 1784 Growth Fund is capital appreciation. Dividend income,
if any, is incidental to this objective.
    The Fund began on March 28, 1996, and on May 31, its assets were $46.0
million. The Fund posted a strong one-month total return of 4.06%, compared with
a one-month total return of 3.94% for the Russell 2000 Index, and 2.65% for the
Lipper Growth Average during the same period.
    The Fund is a diversified portfolio invested primarily in the stocks of
small- and mid-capitalization companies. Currently, the Fund's holdings
emphasize the technology, consumer non-durables, and healthcare sectors. More
than 20% of the Fund is invested in foreign securities, which we believe will
enhance performance as well as diversification.
    Since inception, strong returns in the technology sector have been the
driving force in the Fund's performance. Representative investments include
Security Dynamics, Cambridge Technology Partners, and Intel. Other strong
performers have been Chesapeake Energy, Geotek Communications, and Arterial
Vascular Engineering.
    In the coming year, the Fund will continue to invest primarily in high
growth stocks, focusing on emerging growth companies with strong revenue and
earnings increases. We expect good results from technology and cyclical
companies. We plan to maintain the Fund's high exposure to international
equities. Despite the weak performance of foreign stocks compared with U.S.
markets in the past 12 months--10.55% total return for the EAFE index compared
to 28.43% for the S&P 500--we believe valuations are attractive iN these markets
and that they will begin to outperform U.S. equities.

MANAGEMENT-S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)
================================================================================
THE 1784 INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND

The objective of the 1784 International Equity Fund is to provide long-term
growth of capital. Dividend income, if any, is a consideration incidental to the
Fund's investment objective.
    Since May 31, 1995, the Fund's assets have increased from $148 million to
$362.5 million. For the year ended May 31, 1996, the Fund had a total return of
19.08%, compared with 10.68% for the Morgan Stanley EAFE Index, and 14.65% for
the Lipper International Funds Average. Based on total return, the Fund ranked
among the top 15% (44 out of 293) of the Lipper International Funds for the
period June 1, 1995 to May 31, 1996. The Fund's return and resulting ranking are
net of waiver of management fees and certain expenses. (See Financial
Highlights).
    Investors in the Fund enjoyed a rewarding year following a recovery from the
international market retrenchment of 1995, when the financial crisis in Latin
America eroded investor confidence. The beginning of an economic recovery in
Japan, the world's second largest stock market, has been positive for investor
sentiment. Nevertheless, economic recovery in Europe, the United Kingdom
excepted, has been slow as the tight monetary policies necessitated by the
Maastricht treaty remained in place.
    As of May 31, the Fund was invested in 34 countries with positions in more
than 150 companies. The investment policy of the Fund stresses the management of
risk by diversification, particularly in smaller markets. Although opportunity
for growth in these markets is high, the Fund's managers attempt to offset
individual stock volatility by maintaining an investment exposure in many
industries and countries.

    We also emphasize each company's long-term growth prospects and seek to
identify a "fair" price for its shares. Consequently, a reevaluation of the
political developments in Japan led to an increase in the Fund's exposure in the
past six months. Similarly, holdings in the Netherlands are proportionately
higher than many comparable funds. Because the Netherlands is a traditional
haven for non-U.S. investors when the dollar is

================================================================================
strong, this move has enhanced the Fund's overall return.
    During the coming year, we expect the Fund to continue investing in shares
of growth companies with strong revenue and earnings increases. In particular,
we continue to focus on companies that are providing infrastructure improvements
in fast-growing southeast Asian economies. In addition, declining interest rates
and more political stability in continental Europe are likely to create
opportunities as consumer confidence is restored after a longer economic
downturn than was expected.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

SECURITY VALUATION --
Investment securities of the Bond and Stock Funds which are listed on a
securities exchange for which market quotations are available are valued by an
independent pricing service at the last quoted sales price for such securities
on each business day. If there is no such reported sale, these securities and
unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued
at the most recent bid price using procedures determined in good faith by the
Board of Trustees. Debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining until
maturity may be valued at their amortized

                                                                      1784 FUNDS

================================================================================
cost. Under this valuation method, purchase discounts and premiums are accreted
and amortized ratably to maturity and are included in interest income.
     Investment securities of the Money Market Funds 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.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS --
     The  books  and  records  of  the  1784  Growth  and  Income,   Growth  and
International  Equity Funds are  maintained in U.S.  dollars.  Foreign  currency
amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
     I. market value of investment  securities,  assets and  liabilities  at the
        current rate of exchange; and
    II. purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the
        relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such
        transactions.
     The 1784 Growth and Income, Growth and International Equity Funds do
not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investment securities which
is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to
changes in market prices of such securities.
 
     The 1784 Growth and Income, Growth and International Equity Funds report
certain foreign currency related transactions as components of unrealized and
realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are
treated as ordinary income for Federal income tax purposes.

FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS --
The 1784  International  Equity Fund enters into foreign currency contracts
as hedges against specific transactions or portfolio positions. The aggregate
principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded as the Fund does not intend
to hold the contracts to maturity. All commitments are "marked-to market" daily
at the applicable foreign exchange rate and any resulting unrealized gains or
losses are recorded currently. The Fund realizes gains and losses at the time
forward contracts are extinguished. Unrealized gains and losses on outstanding
positions in forward foreign currency contracts held at the close of the year
will be recognized as ordinary income for Federal income tax purposes.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME --
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date of the security
purchase or sale. Costs used in determining net realized capital gains and
losses on the sale of securities are those of the specific securities sold,
adjusted for the accretion and amortization of the purchase discounts and
premiums during the respective holding period. Interest income is recorded on
the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS --
Securities pledged as collateral for Repurchase Agreements are held by each
Fund's custodian bank until maturity of the Repurchase Agreements. Provisions of
the Agreements and procedures adopted by the Adviser ensure that the market
value

                                                                              81

of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the
event of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value
of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters into insolvency
proceedings, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or
limited.

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

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS --
The Money Market and Bond Funds'
distributions from net investment income are declared on a daily basis and are
payable on the first business day of the following month. The 1784 Asset
Allocation and 1784 Growth and Income Funds declare and pay dividends on a
quarterly basis. The 1784 Growth Fund declares and pays dividends on a
semi-annual basis. The 1784 International Equity Fund declares and pays
dividends on an annual basis. Any net realized capital gains on sales of
securities for a Fund are distributed to its shareholders at least annually.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES --
The Trust's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its
taxable income to its Shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income
taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds may be subject to taxes
imposed by countries in which they invest with respect to their investments in
issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based
on either income earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue such taxes when related
income is earned. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital
gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These differences relate primarily to foreign currency denominated investments,
paydowns on asset-backed securities and certain securities sold at a loss. As a
result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment
transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions
during such period. Accordingly, the Funds may periodically make
reclassifications among certain capital accounts without impacting the net asset
value of the Funds.

ORGANIZATION COSTS --
These costs have been deferred in the accounts of the Funds and are being
amortized on a straight line basis over a
period of sixty months commencing with operations. In the event any of the
initial shares of the Funds are redeemed by any holder thereof during the period
that the Funds are amortizing their organizational costs, the redemption
proceeds payable to the

================================================================================
holders thereof by the Funds will be reduced by the unamortized organizational
costs in the same ratio as the number of initial shares outstanding at the time
of redemption.

As permitted by tax regulations, the Funds intend to elect to defer and treat
these losses as arising in the fiscal year ended May 31, 1997.


6. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

The 1784 International Equity Fund entered into forward foreign currency
exchange contracts as hedges against portfolio positions. Such contracts, which
protect the value of the Fund's investment securities against decline in value
of the hedged currency, do not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices
of the securities. They simply establish an exchange rate at a future date.
Although such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in
the value of a hedged currency, at the same time they tend to limit any
potential gain that might be realized should the value of such foreign currency
increase.

The following forward foreign currency contracts were outstanding at May 31,
1996:

Many municipalities insure their obligations with insurance underwritten by
insurance companies which undertake to pay a holder, when due, the interest and
principal amount on an obligation if the issuer defaults on its obligations.
Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by the issuer,
there is no assurance that the insurance company will meet its obligations.
Also, some of the securities have credit enhancements (letters of credit or
guarantees issued by third party domestic or foreign banks or other
institutions). At May 31, 1996, the percentage of securities with credit
enhancement are as follows:

8. LINE OF CREDIT

The Funds have a bank line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are
secured by investment securities of the borrowing Fund, which may not exceed 10%
of the Fund's total assets for the Money Market Funds, 1784 U.S. Government
Income, 1784 Tax-Exempt Medium-Term Income, 1784 Massachusetts Tax-Exempt
Income, 1784 Asset Allocation and 1784 Growth and Income Funds and 15% of the

9. ORANGE COUNTY

On July 19, 1995, the Orange County, California Notes held by the 1784 Tax-Free
Money Market Fund, which originally provided for an interest rate of 4.50%
payable at maturity on July 19, 1995, were modified to provide for an effective
interest rate of 5.45%, a portion of which shall be paid monthly in cash and the
remainder of which shall accrue until maturity, and a maturity date of June 30,
1996. In addition, the Adviser agreed that, if necessary to prevent the
deviation of the 1784 Tax-Free Money Market Fund's per share net asset value
calculation from the amortized cost price per share from exceeding 0.5%, it will
purchase (or cause an affiliate to purchase) all or a portion of the Notes at a
