MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
SouthTrust U.S. Treasury Money Market1
Throughout the reporting period, money market funds continued to experience a rather stable yield environment despite a small rise in the overall Treasury market. In an effort to spark economic growth, the Federal Reserve Board (Fed) continued to maintain a rather accommodative stance towards monetary policy. However, with signs of an improving job market combined with some signs of inflation, short-term Treasury yields slowly began to anticipate an increase in the federal funds target rate. While longer dated Treasury yields remained volatile, yields on three-month Treasury bills and overnight repurchase agreements have remained relatively flat over the reporting period. However during the first quarter of 2004, yields of six-month Treasury Bills and one year Treasury Notes began to increase, confirming the likelihood of future Fed tightening.
Over the past year, the majority of the Fund remained in overnight repurchase agreements in order to obtain the consistently higher yield to comparable Treasuries. However during the first quarter of 2004, the Fund took some opportunities to invest in six month Treasury Bills as yields have become attractive versus overnight repurchase agreements.
SouthTrust Income Fund
Sector allocation and issuer selection were the principal drivers to performance for the reporting period ended April 30, 2004. The sector allocation had the greatest impact on the performance during the past six months. Yields of U.S. Treasury securities were volatile during the twelve-month reporting period and ended higher than they were six and twelve months prior. The yield of the 5-year Treasury rose 0.9 percentage points during the reporting period to end at 3.6% after being as low as 2% in June 2003 and reaching 3.6% in September 2003 and April 2004.
Throughout the reporting period, the Fund maintained a maturity structure that was similar to or slightly shorter to its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year Government / Corporate Index.2 The Fund benefited from maintaining an over-allocation to corporate bonds along with a similar allocation to triple-B rated debt. The Fund’s strategic allocation to mortgages provided a better return than Treasury and Federal agency securities. The mortgage sector provided the second best
Annual Report
performance behind corporate bonds during the past six and twelve month periods. While the level of yields rose during the twelve-month period, the 2-year Treasury and the Fund’s allocation to this maturity sector, benefited from the significant yield advantage provided over a one-year security along with the aging process experienced by a two-year security rolling down the yield curve to a one-year security in twelve months.
SouthTrust Bond Fund
Over the past year the bond market continued to perform well, but not without its share of volatility. Over the past six-months, the average yield on the 10-year Treasury was 4.15%, with a high of 4.60% and a low of 3.10%. Earlier last year, deflationary issues and a weaker than expected economy took center stage pushing yields to all-time lows. Today, that disappointment has been replaced by solid growth, especially in manufacturing, and a rapidly improving jobs picture. Driven by profit growth and balance sheet repair, corporate bonds continued to perform well. Riskier companies, or what is known as high beta credits outperformed. Defensive credits, such as consumer products or pharmaceuticals, lagged the corporate bond index. In general, mortgages outperformed but their performance has been uneven given the wild swings in yields.
As long as the economy continues to improve at or above its current trend, the Fed appears comfortable with the prospects of rising rates. It is important to remember that policy can still be accommodative even if the Fed were to begin raising rates. As such, Bond Fund may reposition securities to take advantage of this new dynamic in the marketplace. For the twelve month reporting period ended April 30, 2004, the Bond Fund returned 0.80% to shareholders at NAV. The Fund maintained an overweight in a diversified mix of corporate bonds which was the primary driver of performance during the reporting period.
SouthTrust Alabama Tax-Free Income Fund4
Over the past twelve month reporting period municipal yields followed the movement of Treasury yields moving higher. However, the rise of municipal yields during this time period was accompanied by volatility. Investor reaction to economic reports accompanied by market anticipation of how the Federal Open Market Committee will handle economic policy sent interest rates on a roller coaster ride in the summer of 2003 and traded across a range of 1.00%. With the market and the media focusing on consecutively weaker employment reports,
municipal yields declined through the winter of 2004. However, investors were surprised as the month of April 2004 was ushered in with very strong employment data pushing municipal yields higher.
Municipal yields are influenced by Treasury yields plus the supply and availability of municipal bonds. With interest rates having moved to a “generationally” low level, the interest rate environment was favorable for record issuance of municipal debt. Over the past twelve months investors saw new municipal issuance in excess of $370 billion.
Tax revenues that support many municipal issues showed a continual increase over the past year after declining over the previous two years. This trend was a positive for the security of municipal issuers. During 2003, both tobacco securitization and airlines bonds offered investors ideal reasons to maintain portfolio diversification. Ongoing litigation against the tobacco companies and continued expense management issues in the airline industry hampered the strength of these issuers.
For the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2004, the SouthTrust Alabama Tax-Free Income Fund returned a total return of 1.55% at net asset value.3 The Fund’s largest sector allocations continued to be in general obligations, education and essential-use revenue bonds. Two-thirds of the portfolio holdings were in AAA rated bonds with the Fund’s average maturity at 9.0 years. This high quality, intermediate structure should keep the Fund well positioned for the volatile environment we envision for 2004.
SouthTrust Value Fund
The SouthTrust Value Fund had another good six months providing a return of 10.49% versus 6.27% for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500). For the fiscal year ending April 30, 2004, the Fund provided a total return of 31.87%3 versus 22.88% for the S&P 500.5 The strength was broad based and helped by the Fund avoiding stocks with major disappointments.
The Fund’s large overweighting in the energy sector started to outperform in late 2003 and made a significant contribution to the Fund’s total return. While the Fund took some profits, it continued to keep a significant overweight in the energy sector. Across the board strength in the Fund’s energy holdings was due in part to
Annual Report
highly respected exploration and production company XTO, returning over 70% during the fiscal year and over 40% for the six-month period. FMC Technologies, the leader in deep water sub sea products returned over 40% for the year, as did Transocean, the large off shore driller and Schlumberger, which is generally considered to be the leading oil service company. Many of these returns came in the December 2003 through March 2004 time frame, helping the Fund during the most recent period.
The Fund’s good performance also resulted from a wide range of stocks in many different sectors. The Fund long-standing position in J.C. Penney continued its positive move as the company announced an agreement to sell the Eckerd drug store chain. The proceeds should strengthen their balance sheet and allow management to focus on accelerating the already strong momentum in their department store and catalogue businesses. J.C. Penney provided a return of over 40% for the six months and over 100% return for the fiscal year. Our positive view of Tyco’s strong operating businesses and new management has so far been correct with the stock up over 75% for the year and 30% for the six months. Improving prospects for travel and the strong housing market helped Cendant to an excellent 66% return for the year. Other stocks making a significant contribution to the Fund’s performance included: Yum! Brands the highly respected manager of Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC, and several other restaurant chains; First Data Corporation, a leader in financial processing; and Ace Limited, a diversified insurance company. Our choice of less favored banks proved to be the correct one as Fleet Boston was acquired by Bank of America and Bank One is under agreement to be acquired by J.P. Morgan.
Looking forward, we believe the pharmaceutical sector, which is out-of-favor with Wall Street analysts, is currently one of the more undervalued sectors. As a result drug stocks in the Fund’s Portfolio represent a significant overweighting, versus the S&P 500. Pfizer, a large, highly respected, global pharmaceutical company remains the Fund’s largest individual holding, with Abbott Labs, Bristol-Myers, Johnson & Johnson, and Shire Pharmaceuticals also in the portfolio. Besides Pfizer, the Fund’s top five holdings include previously mentioned Tyco International, Cendant and First Data, along with CVS, the large drug store chain. CVS’s anticipated acquisition of 1,260 Eckerd drug stores should provide them with a much improved competitive position. We continue to remain focused on holding a highly diversified portfolio of companies that we believe are undervalued in the current market.
SouthTrust Growth Fund
For the twelve month reporting period ended April 30, 2004, the SouthTrust Growth Fund returned 15.32% at NAV.3 Performance trailed that of the S&P 500 and the Fund’s peer group. During the last year, performance was inversely correlated with capitalization size. An environment where high beta and lower quality stocks outperform creates significant headwinds for us with our focus being on higher quality, mega-cap names. Thus, the last twelve months has been a challenging environment for us on a relative basis.
Our approach to managing the Fund centers around our definition of growth companies. Growth companies produce sales gains at a premium to other companies. We believe they provide more consistent earnings patterns. We also believe they are more profitable and, as such, are able to fund future expansion. We seek financially strong companies with proven management and business plans to enhance superior growth prospects. The typical holding in the Fund will have a market capitalization of $10 billion or greater at the time of initial purchase.
The Fund continued to adhere to its disciplined approach and found opportunity in a number of large cap growth names that we felt were attractively priced. We initiated positions in Analog Devices, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Medco Health Solutions. We increased the Fund’s weightings in names such as Walt Disney, Cisco Systems, Amgen, and Harley-Davidson. Harley-Davidson, which we highlighted in last year’s annual report, typifies the traditional portfolio holding—a stock market capitalization of $10 billion or higher with a mid to high teens earnings growth rate purchased at a reasonable valuation. Throughout the first half of 2003, the company exceeded earnings expectations each quarter but the stock declined due to investor concern about slower earnings growth, revenue pulled forward from the 100th anniversary models, the boost to earnings from the financial services division, and maturation of the heavy motorcycle market. We felt this was still a very high quality company with favorable supply/demand characteristics that was being unduly punished by investors, especially considering the way the Company has historically managed bike pricing by undersupplying the market. Our cost in HDI is about $43. The stock closed the April 30, 2004 fund fiscal year at a little over $56.

SOUTHTRUST FUNDS
COMBINED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2004
(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. |
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 or official closing 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 accordance with procedures established by and under general supervision of 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.
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.
Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at the counterparty’s custodian in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and the counterparty.
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. 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 Fund’s 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.
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 $15,023 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 April 30, 2004, the value of securities loaned, the payable for collateral due to broker and the value of reinvested cash collateral securities were as follows:
Fund | Market Value of Securities Loaned | Payable for Due to Broker | Market Value of Reinvested Collateral Securities | ||||||
Bond | $ | 18,936,697 | $ | 19,640,125 | $ | 19,640,125 |
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 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 accordance with procedures established by and under general supervision of the Trustees.
Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
(3) Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Master Trust Agreement permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (par value of $0.001). Transactions in shares were as follows:

(4) Federal Tax Information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatments for unused capital loss carryforwards, deferral of losses from wash sales, and discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.
For the year ended April 30, 2004, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:
Fund | Paid-In Capital | Accumulated Realized Gain (Loss) | Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss) | |||||||||
Income | $ | — | $ | (883,000 | ) | $ | 883,000 | |||||
Bond | — | (728,033 | ) | 728,033 | ||||||||
Alabama Tax-Free Income | — | 1,221 | (1,221 | ) | ||||||||
Growth | (61,830 | ) | — | 61,830 |
Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), as disclosed on the Statements of Operations and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.
The tax character of distributions reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended April 30, 2004 and 2003, was as follows:
2004 | 2003 | |||||||||||||||||

As of April 30, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

U.S. Treasury | $ | — | $ | 378,517 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | — | ||||||

Growth | 73,473,832 | 17,954,145 | (5,225,777 | ) | 12,728,368 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the amortization/accretion tax elections on fixed income securities.
At April 30, 2004, 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 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 current tax regulations, capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of April 30, 2004, for federal income tax purposes, post October losses as follows were deferred to May 1, 2004.

(5) Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Adviser Fee—SouthTrust Investment Advisors, the Company’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”), receives for its services an annual investment adviser fee based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as shown below. 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.
Fund | Annual Rate | ||
U.S. Treasury | 0.50 | % | |
Income | 0.60 | % | |
Bond | 0.60 | % | |
Alabama Tax-Free Income | 0.60 | % | |
Value | 0.75 | % | |
Growth | 0.75 | % |

0.150% | on the first $250 million | |
0.125% | on the next $250 million | |
0.100% | on the next $250 million | |

FServ may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FServ can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
Distribution Services Fee—The Company has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act on behalf of Income, Alabama Tax-Free Income and Growth. 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. The Plan provides that the Funds may incur distribution expenses according to the following schedule annually, to compensate FSC.
Fund | Percentage of the Average Daily Net Assets of Fund | ||||
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 year ended April 30, 2004, none of the above mentioned Funds incurred a distribution services fee.
Sales Charges—For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, FSC retained the amounts listed in the chart below for sales charges from the sale of Fund shares.
Fund | Sales Charges from Fund shares | ||||
Income | $ | 755 | |||
Bond | 194 | ||||
Alabama Tax-Free Income | 1,851 | ||||
Value | 2,867 | ||||
Growth | 1,619 |
See “What Do Shares Cost?” in the Prospectus.
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.
Custodian Fees—SouthTrust Bank is the Funds’ custodian for which it receives a fee. The fee is based on the level of each Fund’s average daily net assets for the reporting period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses—Federated Services Company (“FServ”), through its subsidiary Federated Shareholder Services Company (“FSSC”), serves as transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Company. The fee paid to FSSC is based on the size, type, and number of accounts and transactions made by shareholders. FSSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.
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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Other Affiliated Parties and Transactions—Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Funds may invest in certain affiliated money market funds which are distributed by an affiliate of the Funds’ distributor. Income distributions earned by the Fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements as follows:
Fund | Affiliated Fund Name | Income from Affiliated Issuer | |||
Alabama Tax-Free Income | Alabama Municipal Cash Trust | $ | 6,176 |
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 year ended April 30, 2004, were as follows:
Fund | Purchases | Sales | ||||
Income | $ | 30,169,256 | $ | 35,946,740 | ||
Bond | 18,311,211 | 30,206,383 | ||||
Alabama Tax-Free Income | 13,373,257 | 6,514,671 | ||||
Value | 92,803,616 | 100,853,562 | ||||
Growth | 21,887,710 | 15,565,432 |
(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 April 30, 2004, 51.1% 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 25.7% of total investments.
(8) Line of Credit
SouthTrust Funds, on behalf of its respective Funds (except for U.S. Treasury) entered into a $10,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with State Street Bank & Trust Company. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 0.50% per annum over the Federal Funds Rate. The LOC includes a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum on the daily unused portion. The Funds did not utilize the LOC during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004.
(9) Federal Income Tax Information (Unaudited)
For the year ended April 30, 2004, the Funds designated long-term capital gain dividends as follows:
Alabama Tax-Free Income | $252,340 |
At April 30, 2004, the following percentage represents the portion of distributions from net investment income which is exempt from federal income tax, other than alternative minimum tax:
Alabama Tax-Free Income | 96.6% |
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004, 100% of total ordinary dividends paid by Value are qualifying dividends which may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Act of 2003. Complete information is reported in conjunction with the reporting of your distributions on Form 1099-DIV.
Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by Value and Growth during the year ended April 30, 2004, 82.45% and 91.09%, respectively, qualify for the dividend received deduction available to corporate shareholders.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
SOUTHTRUST FUNDS:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of the SouthTrust U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, SouthTrust Income Fund, SouthTrust Bond Fund, SouthTrust Alabama Tax-Free Income Fund, SouthTrust Value Fund, and SouthTrust Growth Fund, each a portfolio of the SouthTrust Funds (the “Funds”), as of April 30, 2004, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights of SouthTrust Funds for each of the years or periods in the two-year period ended April 30, 2001 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated June 8, 2001.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. As to securities purchased or sold but not yet received or delivered, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios constituting the SouthTrust Funds as of April 30, 2004, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Policies regarding Pre-approval of Services. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such services do not impair the auditor's independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Certain services have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of the general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee will annually review the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee and may grant general pre-approval for such services. The Audit Committee will revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. The Audit Committee will not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management. The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chairman. The Chairman will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will designate another member with such pre-approval authority when the Chairman is unavailable. AUDIT SERVICES The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee must approve any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, registered investment company (RIC) structure or other matters. In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for other Audit Services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Audit services, all other Audit services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee. AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor, and has pre-approved certain Audit-related services, all other Audit-related services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee. TAX SERVICES The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor's independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Tax services, all Tax services involving large and complex transactions must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee. ALL OTHER SERVICES With respect to the provision of services other than audit, review or attest services the pre-approval requirement is waived if: (1) The aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the registrant, the registrant's adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (2) Such services were not recognized by the registrant, the registrant's adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (3) Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee of the issuer and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the board of directors to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor. The SEC's rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of prohibited non-audit services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions. PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS Pre-approval fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. PROCEDURES Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Principal Accounting Officer and/or Internal Auditor, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence.
