THE FLORIDA TAXFREE FUNDS               - PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present the Annual Report on The Florida TaxFree Funds.
We at The Hough Group of Funds continue to believe that either or both of The
Florida TaxFree Funds represent prudent investments for investors who seek to
reduce their federal income and Florida Intangible Tax liabilities.

The Florida TaxFree Money Market Fund
Total net assets of the Fund grew during the past year to $160.4 million as of
April 30, 1999.  This compares with $149.4 million on April 30, 1998.
IBC Financial Data, Inc. and Lipper, Inc., are two respected mutual fund
performance and statistical reporting companies that rank money market fund
performance by category.  We are pleased to announce for the five-year period
ending December 31, 1998, The Florida Tax Free Money Fund was ranked number one
out of 16 state tax-exempt money market funds by Lipper, based on total return
for the period.  For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Florida TaxFree Money
Market Fund was ranked 19th out of 219 tax-free state specific funds by IBC.
We are pleased to report that, for the calendar year ending December 31, 1998,
The Florida TaxFree Money Market Fund was ranked by IBC in the top 10% out of
a total of approximately 216 tax-free state specific funds tracked by the firm
based on total return for the period.
Had certain fees and expenses not been reimbursed by the adviser, the yield and
ranking would have been lower.  Past performance, however, is no guarantee of
future results.
The 7-day average yield of the Fund was 2.93% as of April 30, 1999.  For
investors in the 36% federal tax bracket who have Florida intangible assets
of $200,000 or more, the tax equivalent yield was 4.78%.

The Florida TaxFree ShortTerm Fund

As of April 30, 1999, total net assets for the Fund were $29.3 million. The
portfolio had a dollar-weighted average maturity of 2.62 years and a 30 day
SEC yield of 3.36% on April 30, 1999.  This yield equates to a tax equivalent
yield of 5.45% for a Floridian in the 36% federal tax bracket with Florida
intangible assets of $200,000 or more.
The Florida TaxFree ShortTerm Fund is a variable net asset value mutual fund,
and therefore the value of shares fluctuates with the movements of the short-
term municipal bond market.  The net asset value per share was $10.11 on April
30, 1999, compared with $10.05 on April 30, 1998, contributing to a 4.71%
cumulative total return on the Fund for the year ended April 30, 1999.  The
cumulative total return is based on changes in the net asset value per share
over a given period and adjusted for dividends paid during that same period.
The Fund paid dividends of 40 cents per share for the year ended April 30, 1999.
The cumulative total return on the Fund since its inception November 22, 1993
through April 30, 1999 was 26.74%.  This represents a return of 4.46% on an
annualized basis.  As shown on the accompanying chart, another way of
illustrating this return since inception would be that $10,000 invested on
November 22, 1993 would have grown to $12,674.60 on October 31, 1999,
including reinvestment of all distributions.

Contained in this space is a line graph comparing a $10,000 investment made
on inception of the Fund (11/22/93) to the Lehman 3-Year Bond Index.  The
vertical axis shows values starting at $9,500, in $500 increments, up to
$13,000.  The horizontal axis shows the time period starting with the
inception of the Fund (11/22/93) and through April 1999, at three month
intervals.

The Florida Intangible Tax
The Florida intangible tax is assessed against intangible assets such as
stocks, bonds, and mutual funds as of January 1 each year.
Each of The Florida TaxFree Funds will ordinarily invest at least 65% of its
assets in Florida obligations.  While state-specific tax-free funds can invest
up to 35% in out-of-state issues, your Funds' portfolio management committee
intends to keep the Funds completely exempt from the Florida Intangible Tax
by investing in only Florida or other exempt issues at the appropriate time.


We appreciate your investment in The Florida TaxFree Funds and urge you to
contact us at 1-800-557-7555 whenever we can be of assistance.

Sincerely,
W. Robb Hough, Jr.
President
The Hough Group of Funds

THE FLORIDA TAXFREE FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Summary of Accounting Policies

The Florida TaxFree Money Market Fund (the "Money Fund") and The Florida
TaxFree ShortTerm Fund (the "ShortTerm Fund") are series of The Hough Group
of Funds (the "Trust") which was organized as a Massachusetts Business Trust
on July 22, 1993.  The Trust is registered as an open-end non-diversified
management investment company and commenced operations on November 22, 1993.
Both Funds seek a high level of current interest income, exempt from federal
income tax, as is consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity,
and both are intended to be exempt from Florida intangible property tax.  Each
Fund is considered to be a separate entity for financial reporting and tax
purposes.  Their financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for investment companies as follows:

Valuation of Securities
For the Money Fund, investments are stated at amortized cost. Under this
valuation method, a portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any discount
or premium is amortized on a straight line basis to the maturity of the
instrument.

For the ShortTerm Fund, municipal obligations are stated on the basis of
valuations provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board
of Trustees, which considers information with respect to transactions in bonds,
quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and
various relationships between securities in determining value.

Variable Rate Demand Notes
The Funds have invested in certain variable interest demand notes which are
redeemable at specified intervals upon demand. The securities are secured as
to principal and interest by bank letters of credit or corporate or insurance
company guarantees. The maturity of these instruments for the purpose of
calculating the portfolio's weighted average maturity is considered to be the
greater of the period until the interest rate is adjusted or until the principal
can be recovered by demand.

Securities Traded on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis
The Funds may trade securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis,
with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date.  These transactions are
subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at
delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price.  Although the
Funds will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring
such securities, it may sell such securities before the settlement date.
These securities are identified on the accompanying Statement of Investments.

Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all
of its income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income
tax is required.

Dividends and Distributions
Dividends from investment income (excluding capital gains and losses if any)
are declared daily and paid monthly.  Distributions of net capital gains, if
any, realized on the sales of investments are made after the close of the
Fund's fiscal year and in December and/or January, as declared by the Board of
Trustees. Dividends paid from net investment income for the period ended
April 30, 1999 are exempt from federal income taxes. However, certain
shareholders may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).

General
Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date an order
to buy or sell is executed). Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
Realized gains or losses from securities transactions are recorded on the
identified cost basis.


Expenses
Expenses arising in connection with each Fund are allocated directly to the
respective Fund, if specifically identifiable. Other expenses are allocated
between the Funds in proportion to the relative net assets of each Fund.

Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.  Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliate
Under its investment advisory agreements, William R. Hough & Co. (WRH) provides
the Funds with investment research, advice, and supervision, and manages the
business affairs of each Fund.  For these services, the Money Fund and
ShortTerm Fund have agreed to pay WRH a monthly fee at an annual rate of .50%
and .60%, respectively, of their average net assets.  For the
year ended April 30, 1999, management fees totaled $826,651 and $160,888 for
the Money Fund and ShortTerm Fund, respectively.  The Funds also compensate
WRH for services provided under a Transfer Agency and Fund Accounting Agreement
at the rate of $18 per account per year. During the year ended April 30,
1999, fees under this agreement amounted to $65,569 and $5,817 for the Money
Fund and the ShortTerm Fund, respectively.  However, these and all other
expenses of the Funds were paid by WRH to the extent that they exceeded .28%
of each fund's average daily net assets for the period May 1 - June 14, 1998
and, .40% of each Fund's average daily net assets, for the period June 15
through April 30, 1999, expenses in excess of .40% of each fund's average
daily net assets and will continue to be paid by WRH level until notice is
otherwise provided to shareholders.

The Funds have adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the "Plans") under
Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 12b-1, which authorize each Fund to
pay WRH up to .25% of its annual average net assets for shareholder support
services or sales activities.  The amounts reported as distribution and
service fees in the Statements of Operations represent Fund distribution
costs, such as advertising, printing, and dealer commissions, all of which
were paid by WRH, and are included in expense reimbursements and fee
reductions.
During the year-ended April 30, 1999, the Money Fund and the ShortTerm Fund
paid $498 and $1,359, respectively, to WRH for brokerage fees on executions
of portfolio investment transactions.

Fees are paid to Trustees of the Trust at the rate of $1,200 per year plus
$250 per meeting.

3.  Custodian Fees Paid Indirectly
For the year ended April 30, 1999, custodian fees were reduced by earnings
credits of $26,497 and $6,815 on average daily cash balances for the Money
Fund and ShortTerm Fund, respectively.




4.  Fund Shares
