STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST FUNDS  JUNE 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED)


1. Organization:

The STI Classic  Variable  Trust (the "Trust") was organized as a  Massachusetts
business  trust under a Declaration  of Trust dated April 18, 1995. The Trust is
registered  under the Investment  Trust Act of 1940, as amended,  as an open-end
management  investment  Trust with four funds:  the Value Income Stock Fund, the
Mid-Cap Equity Fund, the Capital Growth Fund  (collectively  "the Equity Funds")
and  the  Investment  Grade  Bond  Fund.  Each  fund's  prospectus   provides  a
description of the fund's investment  objectives,  policies and strategies.  The
assets of each Fund are segregated,  and a shareholder's  interest is limited to
the Fund in which shares are held. The Fund's prospectus  provides a description
of each Fund's investment objective policies and strategies.


2. Significant Accounting Policies:

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

     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. If there is no such reported
     sale, these securities, and unlisted securities for which market quotations
     are readily available, are valued at the most recently 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  may be
     valued either at the most recently  quoted bid price or at their  amortized
     cost.

     FEDERAL  INCOME  TAXES  -- It is each  Fund's  intention  to  qualify  as a
     regulated  investment company by complying with the appropriate  provisions
     of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as  amended.  Accordingly,  no
     provisions for Federal income taxes are required.

     SECURITY  TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT  INCOME -- Security  transactions are
     accounted for on the trade date of the security purchase or sale.  Dividend
     income is recognized on ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized
     on  an  accrual  basis  and  includes,  where  applicable,   the  pro  rata
     amortization  of  premium  or  accretion  of  discount.  The  cost  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 purchase  discounts  and  premiums  during the  applicable
     holding period.  Purchase  discounts and premiums on securities held by the
     Investment  Grade Bond and the Equity Funds are  accreted and  amortized to
     maturity using the  scientific  interest  method,  which  approximates  the
     effective interest method.

     REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS -- Securities  pledged as collateral  for repurchase
     agreements are held by the custodian  bank until the repurchase  agreements
     mature.  Provisions  of the  repurchase  agreements  ensure 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  of the collateral by the Funds may be
     delayed or limited.

     NET ASSET  VALUE PER  SHARE-- The net asset value per share of each Fund 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 the  respective  class of the Fund.  The offering price per share
     for the shares of the  Investment  Grade  Bond and Equity  Funds is the net
     asset value per share.

================================================================================



     OTHER -- Distributions  from net investment income for the Investment Grade
     Bond  Fund  are   declared   daily  and  paid   monthly  to   shareholders.
     Distributions  from net investment income for the Equity Funds are declared
     and paid  quarterly to  shareholders.  Any net realized  capital  gains are
     distributed  to  shareholders  at least  annually.  Expenses  related  to a
     specific  Fund are charged to that Fund.  Other  operating  expenses of the
     Trust are pro-rated to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets.


3. Administration and Distribution Agreements

The  Trust  and SEI Fund  Resources  (the  "Administrator")  are  parties  to an
Administration Agreement (the "Administration Agreement") dated August 18, 1995.
Under the terms of the Administration Agreement the Administrator is entitled to
a fee, subject to a minimum,  (expressed as a percentage of the combined average
daily  net  assets of the Trust and the STI  Classic  Trust)  of:  .10% up to $1
billion, .07% on the next $4 billion, .05% on the next $3 billion,  .045% on the
next $2 billion, and .04% for over $10 billion.

The Trust and  Federated  Services  Company  are  parties to a  Transfer  Agency
servicing  agreement dated August 2, 1995 under which Federated Services Company
provides transfer agency services to the Trust.

The Trust and SEI Financial Services Company ("the  Distributor") are parties to
a Distribution Agreement dated August 18, 1995. The Distributor receives no fees
for its services under this agreement.


4. Investment Advisory Agreement

Investment   advisory  services  are  provided  to  the  Trust  by  STI  Capital
Management,  N.A. ("STI  Capital").  Under the terms of the investment  advisory
agreements,  STI Capital is  entitled  to receive a fee from the Fund,  computed
daily and paid monthly,  at an annual rate of .74%, 1.15%, .80% and 1.15% of the
average daily net assets of the Investment Grade Bond Fund, Capital Growth Fund,
Value Income Stock Fund and Mid-Cap Equity Fund, respectively.

SunTrust  Bank,  Atlanta  acts  as  Custodian  for all  the  Funds.  Fees of the
Custodian are paid on the basis of net assets.  The  Custodian  plays no role in
determining the investment  policies of the Trust or which  securities are to be
purchased or sold in the Funds.


5. Organizational Costs and Transactions with Affiliates

Organizational  costs have been capitalized by the Trust and are being amortized
on a straight line basis over a maximum of sixty months  following  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  cost 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 SEI
Financial Services

                                                                              17
