 1. ORGANIZATION

    Centura Funds, Inc. (the "Company") is registered under the Investment
    Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
    company. The Company was organized as a Maryland corporation on March 1,
    1994. At October 31, 2000 the Company consisted of seven separate investment
    portfolios: Centura Large Cap Equity Fund, Centura Mid Cap Equity Fund,
    Centura Small Cap Equity Fund, Centura Government Income Fund, Centura
    Quality Income Fund, Centura North Carolina Tax-Free Bond Fund and Centura
    Money Market Fund (individually, the "Fund", and collectively, the "Funds").

   The Funds, except the Money Market Fund, offer three classes of shares known
   as Class A, Class B and Class C shares. The Money Market Fund offers only
   Class A and Class C Shares.

   Class A shares are offered with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50% for
   the Large Cap Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, and Small Cap Equity Fund;
   2.75% for the Government Income Fund, Quality Income Fund and North Carolina
   Tax-Free Bond Fund. Class B shares are offered at net asset value but are
   subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). In addition, Class A
   and Class B shares pay ongoing distribution fees. Class B shares will convert
   automatically to Class A shares on the first business day of the month
   following the seventh anniversary of their purchase date. Class C shares are
   offered to accounts managed by the Advisor's Trust Department and to
   non-profit institutions who invest at least $100,000.

   The Funds' investment objectives are as follows:

   LARGE CAP EQUITY FUND -- Long-term capital appreciation. The Fund normally
   invests at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of large U.S.
   companies each having $3 billion or more in market capitalization at the time
   of purchase by the Funds. Investments include common stocks, convertible
   preferred stocks and convertible bonds, notes and debentures.

   MID CAP EQUITY FUND -- Long-term capital appreciation. The Fund normally
   invests at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of mid-sized
   companies that fall within the range of companies in the S&P MidCap 400
   Composite Price Index at the time of purchase by the Fund. Investments are
   primarily in common stocks, but also may include convertible preferred stocks
   and convertible bonds, notes and debentures.

   SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND -- Long-term capital appreciation. The Fund normally
   invests at least 65% of its total assets in the equity securities of small
   companies. Small companies are defined as those with market capitalizations
   that fall within the range of the companies in the S&P Small Cap600 Index at
   the time of purchase by the Fund. Investments are primarily common stocks but
   also include preferred stocks and securities convertible into stock.

   GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND -- Relatively high current income consistent with
   relative stability of principal and safety. The Fund normally invests at
   least 65% of its total assets in U.S. Government obligations (those that are
   issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or
   instrumentalities). In general, its investments will have maximum maturities
   of ten years.

   QUALITY INCOME FUND -- Current income and capital appreciation. The Fund
   normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in U.S. Government
   obligations (those that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or
   its agencies or instrumentalities) and corporate debt obligations as well as
   other fixed income securities such as asset backed securities, mortgage
   backed securities and bank obligations. At least 70% of the Fund's fixed
   income securities will be rated in one of the three highest categories by
   nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or unrated securities
   of comparable quality.

   NORTH CAROLINA TAX-FREE BOND FUND -- High current income that is free from
   both federal income tax and North Carolina personal income tax, together with
   relative safety of principal. The Fund invests primarily in obligations
   issued by the State of North Carolina, its political subdivisions, and their
   agencies and instrumentalities.

   MONEY MARKET FUND -- As high a level of current income as is consistent with
   preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund invests in a broad range of
   high quality, short-term, money market instruments that have remaining
   maturities not exceeding 397 days. The Fund is required to maintain a
   dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity no greater than 90 days.

 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

                                  (UNAUDITED)
   financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions
    that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of
    the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for
    the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   SECURITY VALUATION:

    Bonds and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations
    but including listed issues) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished
    by a pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Funds' Board
    of Directors. In making such valuations, the pricing service utilizes both
    dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques which
    take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in
    similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of
    issue, trading characteristics other than market data and without exclusive
    reliance upon quoted prices or exchanges or over-the-counter prices, since
    such valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair value of
    such securities. Short-term debt obligations are valued at amortized cost,
    which approximates market value, as approved by the Board of Directors. The
    Money Market Fund reflects its securities at amortized cost, which
    approximates market value, except for investments in other money market
    funds, which are priced at net asset value.

   The value of each equity security is based either on the last sale price on a
   national securities exchange, or in the absence of recorded sales, at the
   closing bid prices on such exchanges, or at the quoted bid price in the
   over-the-counter market. Securities or other assets for which market
   quotations are not readily available are valued at fair market value as
   determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board of Directors.

   INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS:

    Security transactions in the Funds are accounted for on the date the
    security is purchased or sold ("trade date"). Interest income is recognized
    on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of
    premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
    Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis.

   ORGANIZATION EXPENSES:

    Costs incurred in connection with the organization and initial registration
    of the Company, which have been allocated among the Funds, have been
    deferred and are being amortized over a five year period, beginning with
    each Fund's commencement of operations, except for the Quality Income Fund
    which was expensed as incurred.

   ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES:

    Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund; other
    expenses are allocated proportionately among each Fund within the Company in
    relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis.
    Expenses specific to a class are charged to that class.

   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

    OPTIONS

    Certain Funds may purchase and write (sell) put and call options on
    securities, currencies and indices of securities (collectively, an
    "underlying asset"). These transactions are to hedge against changes in
    interest rates, security prices, currency fluctuations and other market
    developments, or for purposes of earning additional income (i.e.
    speculation).

   The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Funds pay a premium
   whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Funds bear the risk
   of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not
   perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for
   in the same manner as other securities owned. The cost of securities acquired
   through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The
   proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are
   decreased by the premiums paid.

   In writing an option, the Funds contract with a specified counterparty to
   purchase (written put option) or sell (written call option) a specified
   quantity (notional amount) of an underlying asset at a specified price during
   a specified period upon demand of the counterparty. The risk associated with
   writing an option is that the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable
   change in the price of an underlying asset, and may be required to buy or
   sell an underlying asset under the contractual terms of the option at a price

   different from the current market value. Written options involve financial
   risk which may exceed amounts reflected in the accompanying financial
   statements.

   FUTURES CONTRACTS

    Certain Funds may enter into contracts for the future delivery of securities
    or foreign currencies and futures contracts based on a specific security,
    class of securities, foreign currency or an index, purchase or sell options
    on any such futures contracts and engage in related closing transactions. A
    futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either
    party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract
    is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities
    index. The Company may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge
    against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures
    contracts will give the Company the right (but not the obligation), for a
    specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract,
    upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures
    transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Company to segregate
    assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or
    currencies. A Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if
    interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an
    unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower
    overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures
    transactions. In addition, the value of a Fund's futures positions may not
    prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its
    portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting a Fund's ability to
    hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk
    and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in
    the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions.

 3. AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

    Centura Bank ("Advisor") serves as the Company's Investment Advisor and
    custodian. Pursuant to the Advisory Contracts, the Advisor manages the
    investments of the Funds and continuously reviews, supervises and
    administers the Funds' investments. The Advisor is responsible for placing
    orders for the purchase and sale of investment securities directly with
    brokers and dealers selected at its discretion. For furnishing custodial
    services, Centura Bank is paid a monthly fee with respect to the Funds at an
    annual rate based on 0.025% of average daily net assets.

   BISYS Fund Services, Inc. ("BISYS") serves as the Funds' administrator ("the
   Administrator"), transfer agent, and fund accounting agent. Services provided
   under the Administrative Services Contract include providing day-to-day
   administration of matters related to the corporate existence of the Company,
   maintenance of its records and the preparation of reports. Services provided
   under the Transfer Agency Agreement include providing personnel and
   facilities to perform shareholder servicing and transfer agency related
   services. The terms of the Administrative Services Contract and Fund
   Accounting Contract provide for annual fees based on a percentage of average
   daily net assets. The Transfer Agency Agreement provides for a per account
   fee in connection with shareholder servicing.

   Centura Funds Distributor, Inc. ("the Distributor") acts as the Funds'
   Distributor. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Funds' Administrator and
   was formed specifically to distribute the Funds.

   Each of the Funds has adopted a Master Distribution Plan (the "Plan") with
   respect to its Class A and Class B shares. The Plans provide that each class
   of shares will pay the Distributor a fee calculated as a percentage of the
   value of average daily net assets of that class as reimbursement for its
   costs incurred in financing certain distribution and shareholder service
   activities related to that class.

   The Class A Plan provides for payments by each Fund to the Distributor at an
   annual rate not to exceed 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets
   attributable to its Class A shares. Such fees may include a Service Fee
   totaling up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to a Fund's
   Class A shares. Service Fees are paid to securities dealers and other
   financial institutions for maintaining shareholder accounts and providing
   related services to shareholders. Currently, the Distributor has undertaken
   to limit 12b-1 fees for Class A Shares to 0.30% for the Money Market Fund and
   0.25% for each other Fund.

   The Class B Plan provides for payments by the Fund to the Distributor at an
   annual rate not to exceed 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets
   attributable to its Class B shares. Such fees may include a Service Fee
   totaling up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets attributable to a
   Fund's Class B shares. Currently, the Distributor has undertaken to limit
   12b-1 fees for class B shares to 0.75% for Government Income Fund, Quality
   Income Fund and North Carolina Tax-Free Bond Fund.
