SOUTHTRUST FUNDS
COMBINED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2003 (Unaudited)
(1) Organization
SouthTrust Funds (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Company consists of six portfolios (individually referred to as the “Fund”, or collectively as the “Funds”) which are presented herein:
Portfolio Name | Diversification | Investment Objective | ||
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (“U.S. Treasury”) | Diversified | To provide as high a level of current interest income as is consistent with maintaining liquidity and stability of principal. | ||
Income Fund (“Income”) | Diversified | To provide current income. | ||
Bond Fund (“Bond”) | Diversified | To provide a level of total return consistent with a portfolio of high-quality debt securities. | ||
Alabama Tax-Free Income Fund (“Alabama Tax-Free Income”) | Non-diversified | To provide current income exempt from federal income tax and the income tax imposed by the State of Alabama. | ||
Value Fund (“Value”) | Diversified | To provide long-term capital appreciation, with income a secondary consideration. | ||
Growth Fund (“Growth”) | Diversified | To provide capital appreciation. | ||
Semi-Annual Report

The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America.
Investment Valuation—Municipal bonds are valued by an independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. U.S. government securities are generally valued at the mean between the over-the-counter bid and asked prices as furnished by an independent pricing service. Listed corporate bonds (other fixed income and asset-backed securities) and unlisted securities and private placement securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange. For U.S. Treasury, the use of the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities is in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. For fluctuating net asset value Funds within the Company, short-term securities are valued at the prices provided by an independent pricing service. However, short-term securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
Repurchase Agreements—It is the policy of the Company to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank’s vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Company to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement’s collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement.
Semi-Annual Report
41
The Company will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Company’s adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Trustees. Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Company could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities.
Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions—Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value.
Premium and Discount Amortization/Paydown Gains and Losses—All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes. Gains and losses realized on principal payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income.
Federal Taxes—It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions—The Company may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Company records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
Semi-Annual Report
42
Securities Lending—Under guidelines adopted by the Trustees, each Fund may lend portfolio securities to brokers/dealers and other financial organizations in order to generate additional income. Loans of portfolio securities by a Fund will be collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. government securities which are maintained at 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities.
Collateral is either held as cash or reinvested in short-term securities including overnight repurchase agreements, commercial paper, master notes, floating rate corporate notes (with at least quarterly reset rates) and money market funds. The Fund returns a portion of the interest on any cash received as collateral and continues to receive interest or dividends on securities loaned. Included in Bond Fund’s interest income is $8,693 attributable to income earned on securities lending transactions.
Loans will be made to firms deemed by the Company’s adviser to be of good financial standing and will not be made unless, in the judgement of the Company’s adviser, the consideration to be earned from such loans would justify the risk. The risks associated with lending portfolio securities consist of possible decline in value of collateral, possible delays receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities or expenses from enforcing the Fund’s rights should the borrower of the securities fail financially.
As of October 31, 2003, the value of securities loaned, the payable on collateral due to broker and the value of reinvested cash collateral securities were as follows:
Fund | Market Value of Securities Loaned | Payable on Due to Broker | Market Value of Reinvested Collateral Securities | ||||||
Bond | $ | 16,253,512 | $ | 17,511,625 | $ | 17,511,625 |
Cash collateral is held in a segregated account.
Restricted Securities—Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with
Semi-Annual Report
43
another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund’s restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Trustees.
Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
(3) Shares of Beneficial Interest

At April 30, 2003, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

Under the terms of the Plan, the Funds will compensate Federated Securities Corp., (“FSC”) the principal distributor, from the net assets of the Funds to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Funds’ shares.

Income | 0.25% | |
Alabama Tax-Free Income | 0.25% | |
Growth | 0.25% | |
FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
During the six months ended October 31, 2003, none of the above mentioned Funds incurred a distribution services fee.
Shareholder Services Fee—Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Adviser, the Funds will pay the Adviser up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Funds for the period. The fee paid to the Adviser is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts. The Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. The Adviser can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses— FServ, through its subsidiary Federated Shareholder Services Company (“FSSC”), serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Company.

Semi-Annual Report
47
Deferred Compensation Plan—The Company’s Trustees may participate in the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Trustees. Participants in the plan may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation. Amounts deferred are retained by the Company and represent an unfunded obligation of the Company. The value of amounts deferred for a participant is determined by reference to the change in value of shares of one or more of the Funds as specified by the participant. The Company invests the deferred amount in the Funds specified by the participant and is reflected in other assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
General—Certain of the Officers of the Company are Officers and Directors or Trustees of the above companies.
(6) Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S government securities and short-term obligations (and in-kind contributions), for the six months ended October 31, 2003, were as follows:
Fund | Purchases | Sales | ||||
Income | $ | 14,011,998 | $ | 21,457,733 | ||
Bond | 9,502,611 | 11,992,312 | ||||
Alabama Tax-Free Income | 9,406,819 | 2,907,905 | ||||
Value | 40,196,476 | 50,425,014 | ||||
Growth | 8,951,115 | 4,215,731 | ||||
(7) Concentration of Credit Risk
Since Alabama Tax-Free Income invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at October 31, 2003, 59.5% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 28.0% of total investments.
