SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2004 to October 31, 2004.
Actual Expenses
For each Fund, the first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
For each Fund, the second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included your costs would have been higher.

(1) | These tables depict the long-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund’s portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s), each of which is a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO). These credit-quality ratings are shown without regard to gradations within a given rating category. For example, securities rated “A-” have been included in the “A” rated category. Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the ones identified have been included in the “Not rated by…” category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit-quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the descriptions of credit-quality ratings in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. These tables depict the long-term credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio’s total investments, there were no securities that did not have long term ratings by either of these NRSROs. |

(1) | These tables depict the long-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund’s portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s), each of which is a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO). These credit-quality ratings are shown without regard to gradations within a given rating category. For example, securities rated “A-” have been included in the “A” rated category. Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the ones identified have been included in the “Not rated by…” category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit-quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the descriptions of credit-quality ratings in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. These tables depict the long-term credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio’s total investments, 2.3% do not have long-term ratings by either of these NRSROs. |
(2) | Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund’s total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows. |
(3) | Cash Equivalents include money market mutual funds and any investments in overnight repurchase agreements. |
(4) | Portfolio securities have been assigned to the sector classifications and sub-classifications, if any, at the discretion of the Fund’s adviser. |

(1) | These tables depict the long-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund’s portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s), each of which is a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO). These credit-quality ratings are shown without regard to gradations within a given rating category. For example, securities rated “A-” have been included in the “A” rated category. Holdings that are rated only by a different NRSRO than the ones identified have been included in the “Not rated by…” category. Rated securities include a security with an obligor and/or credit enhancer that has received a rating from an NRSRO with respect to a class of debt obligations that is comparable in priority and security with the security held by the Fund. Credit-quality ratings are an assessment of the risk that a security will default in payment and do not address other risks presented by the security. Please see the descriptions of credit-quality ratings in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. These tables depict the long-term credit-quality ratings as assigned only by the NRSRO identified in each table. Of the portfolio’s total investments, 7.8% do not have long-term ratings by either of these NRSROs. |
(2) | Percentages are based on total investments, which may differ from the Fund’s total net assets used in computing the percentages in the Portfolio of Investments which follows. |
(3) | Cash Equivalents include investments in money market mutual funds and any investments in overnight repurchase agreements. |

(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 income 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. Cash collateral is held in a segregated account. 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 $6,850 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.
At October 31, 2004, there were no securities on loan.
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 Funds 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 Funds’ 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. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

Growth | 9,133,746 | 9,293,799 |
(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, 2004, 56.8% 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 largest percentage of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency was 27.0% of total investments.
