                 Semi-Annual Report of the Investment Adviser

The U.S. economy extended its nine year expansion during the past six months,
spurred on by low interest rates, low inflation and a consumer-led spending
spree. Record quarterly sales by several major automobile companies and strong
gains among retailers pushed the nation's gross domestic product (GDP) to 4.5%
in the first quarter, down only slightly from the torrid 6% pace in the fourth
quarter. At the same time, inflationary pressures remained tame. The GDP
deflator rose at a 1.4% annual pace in the first quarter and the consumer
price index gained just 1.7% for the twelve months ended March. About the only
concern during the period was the sharp increase in oil prices to $18 per
barrel, but at that price, oil was no higher than it was a year ago.

Following its aggressive rate cuts last fall, the Federal Reserve maintained
monetary targets through the end of April. The federal funds rate remained
steady at 4.75% and the short-term yield curve steepened as the market
pondered over the strength of the economy and the likelihood of higher
interest rates later this year. The Year 2000 issue also emerged as a market
factor and effected a slight yield premium on securities maturing early next
year.

In the government money market, yields rose slightly during the first quarter
and the spread between Treasury and Agency obligations widened. FedFund
generally purchased agencies in the one to three-month range, while making
occasional one-year investments to maintain a moderately extended average
weighted maturity and lock-in yields of 5.00%-5.10% into early 2000. T-Fund
employed a similar strategy of buying on weakness, and also participated in
the Treasury's cash management bill auctions as a substitute for repurchase
agreements. FedTrust maintained its all-government securities composition
during the period, with an average weighted maturity in the fifty-day range.
Treasury Trust invested exclusively in Treasury notes and bills and used
market opportunities to swap from bills to notes, as spreads widened.

In the municipal money market, strong demand and a shift from money market to
longer-term debt issuance kept short-term rates low for most of January and
February. Yields rose later in March and early April as municipal securities
were sold to meet April 15th tax payments. MuniFund, MuniCash and California
Money met frequently changing liquidity needs during the period by maintaining
high percentages in daily and weekly variable rate demand notes. These
investments were balanced by longer-maturing, nine to twelve-month trades at
yields of 3.00-3.25%.

The investment performance of the Provident Institutional Funds ("PIF") was
highlighted by the recognition received from Lipper Analytical Services, in
February, that four of the PIF funds ranked number one, within their
respective peer groups, for the following periods ended December 31, 1998:
TempFund for the last 20 years (Institutional Money Markets); FedFund for 15
years (Institutional U.S. Treasury Government Money Markets); and New York
Money Fund for 10 years (New York Tax-Exempt Money Markets). Furthermore, for
the one year period ended April 30 ,1999, each of these funds ranked in the
top quartile of their Lipper peer group, two of them, T-Fund and New York
Money finishing in the top decile. We are very proud of this consistent track
record and look forward to meeting your liquidity needs in the future.

TempFund, TempCash and New York Money Fund are not included in this semi-
annual report. For more information about these portfolios, call 1-800-821-
7432 to obtain a prospectus containing more complete information which should
be read carefully before investing.

A. Provident Institutional Funds ("PIF" or the "Company") was organized as a
Delaware business trust on October 21, 1998. It is the successor to five
investment companies: (1) Temporary Investment Fund, Inc. ("Temp"), (2) Trust
for Federal Securities ("Fed"), (3) Municipal Fund for Temporary Investment
("Muni"); (4) Municipal Fund for California Investors, Inc. ("Cal Muni") and
(5) Municipal Fund for New York Investors, Inc. ("NY Muni"), (the "Predecessor
Companies"). The accompanying financial statements and notes are those of the
portfolios of Fed, Muni and Cal Muni, as follows: Fed--FedFund, T-Fund,
Federal Trust Fund and Treasury Trust Fund; Muni--MuniFund and MuniCash; and
Cal Muni--California Money Fund. On February 10, 1999 these portfolios, along
with the portfolios of the other Predecessor Companies were reorganized into
separate series of PIF.

 The fiscal year ends for Fed, Muni and Cal Muni were October 31, November 30,
and January 31, respectively. The fiscal year end for PIF is October 31. PIF
is a no-load open-end management investment company. Each portfolio included
in these financial statements and notes, with the exception of California
Money Fund, which is a non-diversified investment company, because it
concentrates its investments in California Municipal Obligations, is a
diversified investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 FedFund, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund and MuniCash each offers two
classes of shares: Fund Shares and Dollar Shares. T-Fund, MuniFund and
California Money Fund each offers six classes of shares: Fund Shares,
Administration Shares, Dollar Shares, Plus Shares, Cash Reserve Shares, and
Cash Management Shares. Pursuant to a Shareholder Service Plan and specified
in a servicing agreement, institutions other than broker/dealers ("Service
Organizations"), provide certain services, not intended to promote the sale of
the shares, to their clients who beneficially own shares of a particular
class, in consideration for the Company's payment of a fee to the Servicing
Organization at an annual rate of .10% for Administration Shares, .25% for
Dollar Shares, .40% for Cash Reserve Shares and .50% for Cash Management
Shares of the average daily net asset value of such Shares. The difference in
the level of fees is related to the type and number of services provided by
the Servicing Organization. Pursuant to an Amended Distribution Plan and
specified in a related agreement, institutions that are broker/dealers
("Broker/Dealers"), provide certain sales and support services to their
clients who beneficially own shares of the Plus class, in consideration for
the Company's payment of a fee to the Broker/Dealer at an annual rate of .25%
of the average daily net asset value of such Shares. Dividends paid to
Administration, Dollar, Plus, Cash Reserve and Cash Management shareholders
are reduced by such fees. Fund Shares are sold to institutional investors who
choose not to enter into agreements with PIF. As of April 30, 1999, no
Administration Shares, Plus Shares, Cash Reserve Shares or Cash Management
Shares were outstanding.

 Certain California municipal obligations in the California Money Fund may be
obligations of issuers which rely in whole or in part on California State
revenues, real property taxes, revenues from health care institutions, or
obligations secured by mortgages on real property. Consequently, the possible
effect of economic conditions in California or of California law on these
obligations must be considered.

B. Significant accounting policies are as follows:

 Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

 Security Valuation--Portfolio securities are valued under the amortized cost
method which approximates current market value. Under this method, securities
are valued at cost when purchased and thereafter a constant proportionate
                                      40

                   Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the
security. Regular review and monitoring of the valuation is performed in an
attempt to avoid dilution or other unfair results to shareholders. The Company
seeks to maintain the net asset value per share of each portfolio at $1.00.

 Repurchase Agreements--The Company may purchase, for FedFund and T-Fund,
money market instruments from financial institutions, such as banks and non-
bank dealers, subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at an
agreed upon date and price. Collateral for repurchase agreements may have
longer maturities than the maximum permissible remaining maturity of portfolio
investments, provided the repurchase agreements themselves mature in one year
or less. The seller will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of
the securities subject to the agreement at no less than the repurchase price.
Repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days are subject to a
seven day put feature.

 Dividends to Shareholders--Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly.
Dividends payable are recorded on the dividend record date. Net income for
dividend purposes includes interest accrued, discount earned and net realized
short term gains on portfolio securities, less the amortization of market
premium and applicable expenses. Capital gains, if any, are distributed at
least once a year.

 Federal Taxes--No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Company's
intention to have each portfolio continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will
be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.

 Other--Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date and the
cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification
method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Expenses not
directly attributable to a specific portfolio are allocated among the
portfolios based on their relative average daily net assets.

C. Under agreements between the Company and Blackrock Institutional Management
Corporation ("BIMC"), an indirect majority owned subsidiary of PNC Bank
National Association ("PNC Bank"), BIMC manages the Company's portfolios and
maintains their financial accounts. PFPC Trust Company is the Company's
custodian and PFPC Inc. ("PFPC"), is the Company's transfer agent.

 Provident Distributors, Inc. ("PDI") serves as the Company's distributor. No
compensation is payable by the Company to PDI for its distribution services.

 The Company has entered into an Administration Agreement with PFPC and BIMC
for certain administrative services (together the "Co-Administrators"). Prior
to the reorganization as discussed in paragraph A, PDI was co-administrator
with PFPC.

 In return for their advisory and administrative services, the Company pays
BIMC and the Co-Administrators each a fee, computed daily and payable monthly,
based upon an annualized percentage of the average net assets of each
portfolio for FedFund, T-Fund, Federal Trust Fund, Treasury Trust Fund,
MuniFund and MuniCash as follows: .175% of the first $1 billion, .15% of the
next $1 billion, .125% of the next $1 billion, .10% of the next $1 billion,
 .095% of the next $1 billion, .09% of the next $1 billion, .085% of the next
$1 billion and .08% of net assets in excess of $7 billion. California Money
Fund pays BIMC and the Administrators each a fee, computed daily and payable
monthly, at an annual rate of 0.20% of it's average net assets.

 The Co-Administrators and BIMC have also agreed to reduce their fees, on an
equal basis, to the extent necessary to ensure that the total operating
expenses (excluding Service Organization and Broker/Dealer fees) of each
portfolio do not exceed .20% of their respective average net assets. For the
periods ended April 30, 1999, the Co-Administrators and BIMC waived, on an
equal basis, a total of $398,291 of the administration and advisory fees
payable to them with respect to FedFund, $1,154,480 with respect to T-Fund,

                                      41
<PAGE>

                   Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

$151,063 with respect to Federal Trust Fund, $499,796 with respect to Treasury
Trust Fund, $556,067 with respect to MuniFund, $446,565 with respect to
MuniCash and $430,747 with respect to California Money Fund.

 Per the Company's operating procedures, custodian fees may be reduced by
amounts calculated on uninvested cash balances. For the period ended April 30,
1999, MuniFund's custodian fees were reduced in the amount of $1,578.

 For the periods ended April 30, 1999, each portfolio paid Service Organization
fees to affiliates of BIMC in the amounts as follows: $487 with respect to
FedFund, $93,514 with respect to T-Fund and $25,648 with respect to Treasury
Trust Fund.

D. The Company's Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to authorize the
issuance of an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial
interest (shares) in the Trust and to classify or reclassify any unissued
shares into one or more additional classes of shares.

Transactions in shares of the Company are summarized as follows:
