MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST     December 31, 2004


Dear Valued STI Classic Variable Trust Shareholder:

Stock prices enjoyed a post-election rebound in the fourth quarter helped by
improving job growth and lower oil prices. The S&P 500 Index gained 9.23% on a
total return basis during the quarter and 10.88% for all of 2004. Bond returns
also edged higher in Q4 and finished the year with its fifth consecutive gain.
The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index rose 0.95% for the quarter and 4.34%
for the 12 months ended December 31, 2004. The trailing price/earnings ratio(1)
for the S&P 500 Index rose to 19.5X, and yields on the 10-year Treasury note and
the 10-year A-rated corporate bond closed the year at 4.2% and 4.9%,
respectively.

Cyclical economic strength was evident during the period despite ebbing fiscal
and monetary support. Job growth accelerated moderately, consumer spending
improved despite higher fuel costs, and the pace of business activity remained
firm. Headline inflation moved higher but was not worrisome, and the Fed raised
short-term rates for a fourth and fifth time.

While Fed tightening pushed short- and intermediate-term Treasury yields higher
in the fourth quarter, longer-term yields held relatively steady causing the
yield curve to flatten further. The High Yield and Credit sectors outperformed
for the quarter and all of 2004.

Signs of economic strength and a lessening of the energy price "headwind" helped
stock prices break out of their ten-month trading range. Consumer Discretionary
and Technology stocks led the Q4 rally closely followed by Utilities and
Industrials. Energy and Utility stocks outperformed for the full year. Small-cap
and International (EAFE) stocks outperformed the S&P 500 Index in the fourth
quarter and for all of 2004. The Value style outperformed Growth for the full
year, but returns were mixed in Q4.

We remain positive on our outlook for the economy and corporate profits, but the
rate of growth in both is likely to slow closer to historical averages due to
lower levels of stimulus and more diffi-

cult comparisons, respectively. Core inflation will likely trend moderately
higher, and support the Fed's plan to raise interest rates gradually in the
months ahead. The dollar will likely remain under downward pressure.


We continue to recommend a modest overweight position in stocks within current
asset allocation ranges, due to the relative attractiveness of stocks versus
bonds. However, we recognize that some of the factors that have favored equities
(steep yield curve, accommodative Fed policy, and easy profit comparisons) are
changing and not as favorable. We will continue to be very price sensitive in
entry and exit points and emphasize companies with consistent growth. We will
likely view any market pullback as an opportunity to build equity positions.


In fixed-income portfolios, we anticipate moderately higher yields and a further
flattening of the yield curve. In this environment we will maintain a neutral
duration barbell maturity structure and an overweight in Treasury
inflation-indexed securities (TIPS). However, we have moved to an underweight
position in Corporate bonds (neutral on BBBs) following the sharp narrowing of
credit spreads over the past two years and we will be moving to an underweight
in Mortgages.



Sincerely,

/s/ Douglas S. Phillips, CFA

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST    December 31, 2004

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other
forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income
securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the
value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds
investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when
compared with other types of investments.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The STI Classic Variable Trust Capital Appreciation Fund (the "Fund") emphasizes
large and mid-cap stocks with superior profitability, strong current
fundamentals, reasonable valuations, and above-average current growth dynamics.
Securities are selected on a "bottoms-up" basis using these primary criteria.
The Adviser avoids market timing and top-down economic forecasting, believing
that remaining invested in growing companies regardless of the stage of business
cycle is conducive to enhancement of long term shareholder capital.

Total return of the Fund was 6.75% for the 12-month period ended December 31,
2004. This result compares unfavorably with the 10.88% return of the S&P 500
Index which is the Fund's primary comparative benchmark. While disappointed in
the outcome for the year, we believe it is consistent with the Fund's investment
mandate. That is, the Fund should do relatively well when larger, higher quality
growth type stocks are leading performance. 2004 was a year in which industries
with slow growth and mediocre long-term fundamentals had unusually high returns
in the market. For example, the S&P 500 Utility sector returned over 24%, while
Telecomm Services, e.g., primarily the traditional phone companies, returned
over 19%. Similarly, the slow growth, commodity-based Energy, up almost 32%, and
Materials, up 13%, sectors did better as raw material prices exceeded forecasts.
On the growth side, sectors where the Fund typically invests significant assets
such as Healthcare, up about 2%, Technology, up about 3%, Consumer Staples, up
8% and Financials, up about 11%, were generally behind or at best inline with
the S&P 500's return.

Overall, the best way to illustrate the extreme dichotomy between Growth stocks,
which lagged in 2004, and Value stocks, is to look at returns for the S&P 500
BARRA sub indices. The S&P 500 BARRA Growth Index(1) was up only 6.1% last year,
while the corresponding Value Index(1) returned 15.7%. In this context, we
believe the Fund return was "in the ballpark" for what investors should have
expected for a growth-oriented portfolio in 2004.

Looking ahead, we believe we have positioned the Fund to benefit in 2005 from
several emerging capital markets trends. First, large cap growth stocks have
been becoming increasingly compelling on valuation. Second, both low quality
stocks (2003) and slow growth/value stocks (2004) have had their day in the sun,
so we believe quality growth to do better now. Third, valuations in general have
become extremely compressed, and that gives an edge to our expertise, which is
identifying companies with above-average growth. Thus, we are excited and
optimistic that the Fund's investment style could enjoy a more favorable market
environment over the coming months.

PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.

(1) The S&P BARRA/Growth and Value Indices are capitalization-weighted indices
which contain the stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index which carry the
highest price to book ratios and lowest price to book ratios, respectively. The
indices consists of approximately half of the S&P 500 Index on a market
capitalization basis.

The Fund is measured against the S&P 500 Index an unmanaged index that consists
of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. stock market as a whole. The performance
of the index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual
fund, such as investment adviser and fund accounting fees. The Fund's
performance reflects the deduction of fees for these value-added services.
Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its
underlying securities.

During the period shown, the Investment Adviser waived and/or voluntarily
reimbursed fees for various expenses. Had these waivers and/or reimbursements
not been in effect, performance quoted would have been lower.

The Lipper Mutual Funds Average is an equally weighted average of the mutual
funds within their respective investment objectives, adjusted for the
reinvestment of capital gains distributions and income dividends.

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST  December 31, 2004

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other
forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income
securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the
value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common stocks, and funds
investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when
compared with other types of investments. Bonds offer a relatively stable level
of income, although bond prices will fluctuate providing the potential for
principal gain or loss. Intermediate-term, higher-quality bonds generally offer
less risk than longer-term bonds and a lower rate of return.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The STI Classic Variable Trust Growth and Income Fund (the "Fund") invests
primarily in equity securities, including common stock and listed ADRs (American
Depositary Receipts) of domestic and foreign companies. The Fund typically
chooses companies that have a market capitalization of at least $1 billion.

The 2004 period ended up being a good year for the equity markets, thanks to a
strong fourth quarter that was fueled by good corporate earnings. For the
12 months ended December 31, 2004, the Fund posted a total return of 14.30%.
Although this performance lagged the S&P 500/BARRA Value Index performance of
15.71%, a Prudential study showed that, only a small percentage of active value
managers were able to generate a return better than the index in 2004 owing to
an unusual confluence of circumstances. The value indices were driven by lower
interest rates, higher energy prices, continued strong consumer spending, and a
continued strong recovery in the manufacturing economy, and the Fund benefited
from these factors, as well. The medium and smaller stocks in the Value Index
tended to outperform large companies for the year. For the year, energy,
utilities, healthcare, industrials, and telecommunications led the performance
of the Value Index, while consumer spending, financials, materials, and
technology lagged. The Fund's ongoing emphasis on larger-capitalization and
higher quality issues was a slight detriment to relative performance. A strong,
broad-based fourth quarter rally lifted returns for the Fund and most major
market indices.

As we look forward, we contemplate a market that has had two strong years after
a three-year bear market. A strong recovery in corporate earnings has been the
main driver of the market's good performance, but we are moving out of that
period, and earnings growth will be harder to come by. We believe the economy
should continue to grow, but at a slower pace than in 2003 and 2004. Corporate
profits have led by strong corporate balance sheets, with a lot of cash building
up. This usually leads to higher capital spending, higher dividend payouts, and
increased merger and acquisition activity, all of which are good for the equity
markets. Balancing all of these positive factors are the threat of higher
interest rates and the possibility of compressed price-earnings multiples. As
always, we intend to let valuation be our guide as we consider the Fund's sector
weights and stock selection. The first year of a presidential term has proven
challenging for the markets in the past, and we are aware of this risk. We
believe that the Fund is well-positioned for the year, but we are constantly
monitoring economic developments for changes. We are grateful for the support of
our investors, and we thank you for your support.

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST  December 31, 2004

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are risks associated with investing in foreign companies, such as erratic
market conditions, economic and political instability and fluctuations in
currency and exchange rates. Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and
carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in
high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund
will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common
stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return
potential when compared with other types of investments.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The STI Classic Variable Trust International Equity Fund (the "Fund") invests
primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of foreign issuers that
the Adviser believes have strong business fundamentals, such as revenue growth,
cash flows and earnings trends. The Adviser uses a "bottom-up" process based on
individual company earnings trends and fundamentals to determine the weighting
of the Fund's investments in various countries and equity market sectors. The
Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a
diversified portfolio of equity securities of foreign issuers.

The Fund returned 19.35% for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2004, versus
20.25% for the MSCI EAFE Index. Compared to the Lipper International Funds
Average which returned 18.05%, the Fund outperformed its average peer. During
the year small cap stocks dramatically outperformed large cap stocks. The
average stock in the MSCI EAFE Index with a market cap under $1 billion U.S.
dollar was up over 31% for the year. The average stock with a market cap above
$8.2 billion USD was up only 15%. The Fund has a larger cap bias which did not
help during the year. Lower price/earnings(1) stocks and also stocks with higher
dividend yields performed well during the year. Surprisingly the best performing
sector for the year was the Utilities sector up 28% on average. The worst
performing sector was Information Technology up only 6.4%. From a regional
standpoint, Japan was the laggard up only 14%, lead by the UK up 16%, then
Continental Europe up 18.6%, Hong Kong and Singapore averaged up 19%, with
Australia up 28%. The dollars fall against many foreign currencies was a big
component of the total return for the year.

Our outlook would be for three recent trends to reverse during 2005; first,
small cap leadership may be over as small cap issues are looking more expensive
than larger cap stocks. Second, valuation differentials between stocks,
countries, and sectors have narrowed, so valuation may no longer work as well in
selecting outperforming stocks. Instead, investors may begin to look more at
earnings and cash flow growth. Third, the dollars long slide may reverse course
for some time, but by year end should be around where it was trading at the end
of 2004.

We continue to invest in portfolio stocks that characteristically have lower
valuations and higher projected growth rates than our benchmark, the Morgan
Stanley MSCI EAFE Index. We believe successful results for the Fund will
continue to be based on a dedication to in depth fundamental research on
companies brought to light via a disciplined quantitative process. Inherent in
management of the Fund is a process designed to quickly identify sell candidates
where earnings trends are beginning to deteriorate. Our approach could provide
the opportunity to participate in long term growth of the international markets
via a diversified portfolio. We feel confident that disciplined execution of our
process may lead to competitive investment results over time.

The Fund is measured against the Morgan Stanley Europe, Australiasia and Far
East (MSCI EAFE) Index which is an unmanaged market capitalization-weighted
equity index comprising 20 of the 48 countries in the MSCI universe and
representing the developed world outside of North America. Each MSCI country
index is created separately, then aggregated, without change, into regional MSCI
indices. EAFE performance data is calculated in U.S. dollars and in local
currency. The performance of the index does not reflect the deduction of
expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment adviser and fund
accounting fees. The Fund's performance reflects the deduction of fees for these
value-added services. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although
they can invest in its underlying securities.


During the period shown, the Investment Adviser waived and/or voluntarily
reimbursed fees for various expenses. Had these waivers and/or reimbursements
not been in effect, performance quoted would have been lower.

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST MID-CAP EQUITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST  December 31, 2004

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mid capitalization funds typically carry additional risks since smaller
companies generally have a higher risk of failure. Equity securities (stocks)
are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including
investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share
of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio
changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide
greater return potential when compared with other types of investments.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The STI Classic Variable Trust Mid-Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") seeks to provide
capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of small-
to mid-sized companies (i.e. companies with market capitalizations of $500
million to $10 billion, or companies in the Russell MidCap Index). In selecting
investments for the Fund, companies are chosen that offer above average stock
appreciation relative to other companies in the same economic sector.
Proprietary, sector based models are utilized to rank stocks in each economic
sector. These models utilize fundamental stock characteristics such as growth
rates and cash flows. Fundamental research is utilized in the creation,
maintenance, and enhancement of the sector based models. Risk management is a
critical component of the overall investment process. The strategy is
diversified with 100 to 140 stocks in the portfolio. Each stock is generally
limited to no more than two percent of the portfolio. The portfolio's holdings
are managed to reduce tracking error and overall volatility to the Russell
MidCap Index.

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2004, the Fund returned 16.82%. The
Funds primary benchmark the Russell MidCap Index was up 20.22% for the year. The
Lipper Mid-Cap Core Funds Average(1) was up 15.52%. From a style standpoint
Value outperformed Growth in the Mid Cap segment with the Russell MidCap
Growth(1) up 15.48% and Russell MidCap Value(1) up 23.71% for the year. Energy
stocks were the best performing sector for 2004 up 33.6% and Information
Technology was the worst performing sector up only 6%. With the Mid Cap market
cap range there was no major advantage to larger versus smaller cap issues.
Stocks that yield less than 0.6% were up only 14% with higher yielding stocks
returning more on average. Stocks with the highest expected earnings growth (17%
or more) were up only 9.7%. Valuation was more important than growth for 2004.
One of the most interesting anomalies of 2004 was that in a strong up market low
beta stocks (less than .5) were up 26.5% versus high beta2 stocks (1.4 and
greater) up only 8%.

The Fund's strategy involves segmenting stocks into different groups/sector and
modeling the drivers of performance in each group/sector. Stocks have more
recently been grouped into S&P Industry Groups, and in some cases, Industries
for Sectors where there is only one Industry Group, such as Utilities. This new
strategy allows for even deeper fundamentally based information to be
incorporated into the investment process. In total, 30 different Industry Groups
or Industry Models have been constructed based on back tested results. We
continue with this modeling effort, supplemented by fundamental due-diligence
before any stock is purchased. This approach blends growth dynamics with
valuation to select favorable reward versus risk securities.

1The Russell MidCap Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell
MidCap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth
values. The Russell MidCap Value measures the performance of those Russell
MidCap companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth
values. The stocks found in the Russell Growth and Value indices are also
members of the Russell 1000(R) Value index. The Lipper Mutual Funds Average is
an equally weighted average of the mutual funds within their respective
investment objectives, adjusted for the reinvestment of capital gains
distributions and income dividends.

2The measure of systematic risk of a security. Beta is a means of measuring the
volatility of a security or portfolio of securities in comparison with the
market as a whole.

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST SMALL CAP VALUE EQUITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST  December 31, 2004

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Small capitalization funds typically carry additional risks since smaller
companies generally have a higher risk of failure. Equity securities (stocks)
are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including
investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share
of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio
changes. Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide
greater return potential when compared with other types of investments.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The STI Classic Variable Trust Small Cap Value Equity Fund's ("the Fund")
primary goal is income generation and capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to
achieve these goals by investing in small-capitalization ($50 million to $2
billion) securities that are undervalued and pay a dividend. The Fund's
investment philosophy is based on our belief that dividends are not only an
important element of total return but are a very solid indicator of a company's
future earnings potential. The Fund utilizes a very strict process for
constructing the portfolio. The bottom-up approach seeks dividend paying stocks
that are trading at the lower end of their historical valuations and companies
that display characteristics of financial strength. The next step in the process
is to identify a catalyst or fundamental change that will assist the stock in
realizing its true value. This purchase process allows, the Fund to maintain a
strict and active sell discipline. The Fund manager is very disciplined and
dedicated to managing risk by continuously monitoring equity positions to
swiftly address issues that arise.

2004 was another stellar year for small cap stocks. The Fund returned 24.19% for
the 12-month period ended December 31, 2004, which outperformed the 22.25%
return for the Russell 2000 Value Index, this is on the heels of the best
performing year the index posted in 25 years. Small Caps historically perform
best coming out of a recession. Conditions in 2004 were still ripe to allow
small caps to outperform. Stable bond prices, high productivity and an
accommodative Federal Reserve paved the way for positive returns in the market.
Uncertainty was becoming prevalent in the market's psychology due to increasing
geopolitical tensions, the potential of rising interest rates and high commodity
prices. This prompted investors to search for quality and dividends as a means
of enriching investment performance. The Fund benefited in this environment due
to our bottom up, dividend paying investment process.

Stock selection in the year contributed greatly to Fund outperformance in 2004.
The Fund's superior stock selection was most evident in Information Technology
and Health Care sectors. The Fund's investment in Autodesk (ASDK), an innovative
design software and digital content company and Cooper Cos. (COO), a specialty
manufacturer of contact lenses, are examples of superior selection that aided in
generating excess returns versus the benchmark. The Fund continues to be
overweighted in economically sensitive sectors such as Industrials and
Materials. Financials and Utilities are underweighted as we believe these
sectors could underperform if the economy continues to expand. Stock valuations
are not as attractive as they were a few years ago; as such the Fund continues
to search for those securities that should fit the process.

Instability in the world, rising interest rates and energy prices are at the
forefront of investor's minds as we enter 2005. The Fund will continue to focus
on the aspects that have served us well over the years. The Fund's focus on
selecting dividend paying securities that exhibit strong balance sheets, stable
management and trade at low valuations will always be a tenet that will be
maintained in any market environment.

The Fund is measured against the Russell 2000 Value Index an unmanaged index
which is is comprised of the securities in the Russell 2000 Index with a
less-than-average growth orientation. Companies in this index generally have low
price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios. The performance of the index does
not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as
investment adviser and fund accounting fees. The Fund's performance reflects the
deduction of fees for these value-added services. Investors cannot invest
directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities.

During the period shown, the Investment Adviser waived and/or voluntarily
reimbursed fees for various expenses. Had these waivers and/or reimbursements
not been in effect, performance quoted would have been lower.

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST VALUE INCOME STOCK FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST  December 31, 2004

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not
recognize their intrinsic value. Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile
and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in
high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund
will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. Common
stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return
potential when compared with other types of investments.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The STI Classic Variable Trust Value Income Stock Fund ("the Fund") seeks to
provide current income with capital appreciation by investing primarily in
dividend paying equity securities. The Fund's investment philosophy is based on
our belief that dividends are not only an important component of total return
but also a very useful tool that provides information about a company's future
earnings potential. The Fund employs a very disciplined and methodical approach
to portfolio construction. The bottom-up process has three key factors to
consider in all investment decisions: 1) Minimum dividend criteria, 2) Low
historical valuation and 3) A catalyst for improving fundamental business
momentum which can cause an upward revaluation in the individual security. Our
process seeks dividend-paying stocks that are trading at the lower end of
historical valuation ranges. The companies identified for focused attention are
in the midst of fundamental change that we expect will reignite investor
interest. They tend to exhibit "Value" characteristics such as low
price-to-earnings ratios, low price-to-sales ratios and generally have higher
dividend yields.

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2004 the overall market rallied nicely
fueled in part by increasing corporate profits and very accommodative fiscal and
monetary policies. The Fund returned 15.29% for the period ended December 31,
2004. In comparison the Fund's primary benchmark the S&P 500/BARRA Value Index
returned 15.71%. As an additional comparison the Russell 1000(R) Value Index2,
advanced 16.49% during the 12-month period with strong showings in all sectors
except Healthcare which posted more nominal returns and was held back by
concerns over earnings growth and the contentious political climate. The biggest
contributing sector by far was Financials because of its very heavy 30% plus
weighting in the index as well as it's approximately 15% return for the period.

The Fund showed strong performance in all sectors as well with Financials making
the largest contribution. Industrials were also helpful because we were not only
overweight versus the benchmark but experienced better stock selection as well.
Our affinity for stocks in this sector is derived from our bottom up process
which has identified companies that have done remarkable jobs at cost cutting
and are thus ripe to experience tremendous operating leverage now that business
activity has picked up over the past 12 months.

The Fund was hurt on a relative basis by stock selection in Staples. We didn't
own any tobacco stocks such as Altria Group, which posted a stellar return,
because of our sense that the unremitting legal proceedings have become
"un-analyzable". The Fund was also hurt by our holdings in the Energy sector
where the Fund suffered due to its underweight in Exxon Mobil and our lack of
exposure in the more commodity leveraged names in the E&P and Oil
Service/Drillers sub-sectors where valuations looked stretched to us.

The Fund is maintaining its overweight in Industrials and is underweighted in
Energy. Energy stocks have corrected with the price of oil coming down and are
beginning to look more attractive to us. We will be looking for an opportunity
to get more involved in these names when we feel that a more normalized price of
oil is being discounted by the stocks. The Fund is under weighted in Financials.
The interest rate sensitivity of these stocks has risen dramatically since the
early nineties led by mortgage related issues. Currently within the financial
domain we are emphasizing capital markets, processing and asset management and
avoiding the more retail or mortgage related companies.

Capital expenditures plummeted after the technology boom of the late nineties
and remain fairly depressed. Profits and margins are up significantly and thus
free cash flow has expanded rather dramatically. The capex recovery began
approximately 18 months ago but companies are still spending below depreciation
levels. The consumer continues to spend supported by improved job growth while
their debt continues to grow. Energy prices, the dollar, "twin deficits", rising
interest rates and geopolitical tensions are important issues that corporations
and consumers will have to deal with in 2005. While we remain cognizant

of the items stated on the previous page, the portfolio is managed from a
"bottoms-up" basis focusing our attention on company and industry fundamentals
first. As we have done since inception, our portfolio selections continue to
emphasize dividend policy, valuation and fundamentals.

(1) Earnings from a variable annuity investment compound tax-free until
withdrawal, so no adjustments were made for income taxes.

(2) The Russell 1000(R) Value Index is an unmanaged Index comprised of 1000
securities found within the Russell universe with a less-than-average growth
orientation. Companies in this index generally have low price-to-book and
price-to-earnings ratios, higher dividends yields, and lower forecasted growth
values. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

*Portfolio composition is subject to change.

The Fund is measured against the S&P 500/BARRA Value Index an unmanaged market
capitalization-weighted index of the stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index
having the lowest price to book ratios. The index consists of approximately half
of the S&P 500 Index on a market capitalization basis. The performance of the
index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund,
such as investment adviser and fund accounting fees. The Fund's performance
reflects the deduction of fees for these value-added services. Investors cannot
invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying
securities.

During the period shown, the Investment Adviser waived and/or voluntarily
reimbursed fees for various expenses. Had these waivers and/or reimbursements
not been in effect, performance quoted would have been lower.

The Lipper Mutual Funds Average is an equally weighted average of the mutual
funds within their respective investment objectives, adjusted for the

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST INVESTMENT GRADE BOND FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST  December 31, 2004

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will
fluctuate providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Intermediate-term,
higher-quality bonds generally offer less risk than longer-term bonds and a
lower rate of return. The Fund is subject to the risk that principal value
reacts in opposition to the movement of interest rates and that a rising
interest rate environment increases the risk of loss of principal.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The STI Classic Variable Trust Investment Grade Bond Fund ("the Fund") seeks to
provide a high level of total return through current income and capital
appreciation as is consistent with the preservation of capital primarily through
investment in investment grade fixed income securities. Total return includes
not only current income but also the changes in the value of the assets held by
the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Fund had a total return of
of 4.16%, in line with the 4.19% return of the Lehman Brothers U.S.
Government/Credit Index.

The year 2004 began in the midst of a slow, but visible economic expansion.
Interest rates were artificially low led primarily by a moribund employment
environment. As the economy gained steam and non-farm payroll releases relayed
the first of twelve consecutive months of job increases, the Fed became
pro-active and the yield curve flattened considerable. The Fed raised short term
rates four times beginning on June 30, bringing the Fed Funds rate up from 1.00%
to 2.00%. The spread between two and thirty year Treasury securities fell
precipitously from 4.15% to 2.61%. While short rate rose, longer-term rates
actually ended the year lower. Inflation remained benign despite a nominal rise.
This shift in the yield curve, along with the continuing strength of the credit
markets, was critical to the Fund's investment strategy.

The Fund's success was driven by three principal investment strategies: an
overweight in credit securities, yield curve flattening bias and the use of U.S.
Treasury Inflation Protected Securities. The Fund's consistent overweight in
credit, particularly BBB-rated securities was an essential contributor to
performance.*

We continue to manage the Fund with only moderate shifts in average maturity and
duration. The total return is enhanced with yield curve analysis, sector
rotation, and other low risk strategies. By actively pursuing these strategies,
the Fund strives to add total return while reducing risk.

     the International Equity Fund was reimbursed by the Adviser
     for losses incurred of $5,807 due to the sale of shares in
     several registered investment companies which were
     inadvertently purchased in excess of the amount permitted
     under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

 **  Includes Return of Capital of $0.0049 per share.

(a)  Amounts calculated using the average age shares method.

(b)  Effective January 1, 2004, the Investment Grade Bond Fund
     adopted a change in the amortization and accretion
     methodology on fixed income securities. (See Note 2.) The
     cumulative effect of this change in methodology on December
     31, 2004 was to increase net investment income to average
     net assets from 3.40% to 3.52%; to increase net investment
     income per share from $0.35 to $0.36; and, to decrease net
     realized and unrealized gains (losses) per share from $0.07
     to $0.06. Per share ratios and supplemental data for prior
     periods have not been restated to reflect this change.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST  December 31, 2004

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 Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
management investment company offering seven funds as of December 31, 2004. The
financial statements presented herein are those of the Capital Appreciation
Fund, the Growth and Income Fund, the International Equity Fund, the Mid-Cap
Equity Fund, the Small Cap Value Equity Fund, the Value Income Stock Fund and
the Investment Grade Bond Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds"). The
assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited to
the Fund in which shares are held. Sales of shares of the Funds may only be made
to separate accounts of various life insurance companies and certain qualified
benefit plans. The Funds' prospectus provides a description of the Funds'
investment objectives, policies and strategies.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust
enters into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general
indemnifications. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust.
However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America ("GAAP"). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that effect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting
period. The actual results could differ from these estimates.

     Security Valuation -- Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or
     automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available
     (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including equity securities
     traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the
     primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded
     on valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Time if a security's
     primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such
     reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price.
     For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be
     used. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations
     provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally
     reflect the last reported sale price if the security is actively traded.
     The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an
     evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market
     transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed
     to identify the market value for such securities. Debt obligations with
     remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized
     cost, which approximates market value. The prices for foreign securities

 43


     are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars at the
     exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of the close
     of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 pm Eastern
     Time), as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Funds'
     Board of Trustees (the "Board"). If a security price cannot be obtained
     from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds' administrator
     shall seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.

     Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are valued
     in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Board. The
     Funds' Fair Value Procedures will be performed and monitored by a Fair
     Value Committee (the "Committee") designated by the Board. Some of the more
     common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair
     Value Procedures include, but are not limited to: the security's trading
     has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a
     national exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily
     closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; or the
     security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a
     price. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value
     Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into
     consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

     For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a
     significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular
     security's last trade and the time at which a Fund calculates its net asset
     value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their
     market value at the time the Fund calculates net asset value if an event
     that could materially affect the value of those securities (a "Significant
     Event") has occurred between the time of the security's last close and the
     time that the Fund calculates net asset value. A Significant Event may
     relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If the adviser of
     a Fund becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect
     to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or
     market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before
     the time at which the Fund calculates net asset value, it shall immediately
     notify the Funds' administrator and may preauthorize the Funds'
     administrator to utilize a pricing service authorized by the Board (a "Fair
     Value Pricing Service") that has been designed to determine a fair value.
     On a day when a Fair Value Pricing Service is so utilized pursuant to a
     preauthorization, the Pricing Committee need not meet. If the adviser does
     not preauthorize the Fund's administrator to utilize a Fair Value Pricing
     Service, the adviser will request that a Fair Value Committee Meeting be
     called. In addition, the Funds' administrator monitors price movements
     among certain selected indices, securities and/or baskets of securities
     that may be an indicator that the closing prices received earlier from
     foreign exchanges or markets may not reflect market value at the time the
     Fund calculates net asset value. If price movements in a monitored index
     exceed levels established by the Funds ("Trigger Points"), the Funds may
     use a systematic valuation model provided by an independent third party to
     fair value their international equity securities.

                                                                              44

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST  December 31, 2004

     Security Transactions and Investment Income -- Security transactions are
     accounted for no later than one business day after trade date. However, for
     financial reporting purposes, securities transactions are reported on trade
     date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Cost used in
     determining net realized gains and losses on the sales of investment
     securities are those of the specific securities sold, adjusted for the
     accretion or amortization of purchase discounts or premiums during the
     respective holding period. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
     date.

     Repurchase Agreements -- In connection with transactions involving
     repurchase agreements, a third party custodian bank takes possession of the
     underlying securities ("collateral"), the value of which exceeds the
     principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest.
     In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, each Fund has the
     right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of
     the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty
     to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or
     proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings.

     Foreign Currency Transactions -- The books and records of the International
     Equity Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars on the following basis:

          (i) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at
          the current rate of exchange; and

          (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses
          at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates
          of such transactions.

     The International Equity Fund does not isolate the portion of operations
     resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from
     fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such
     fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss
     from investments and foreign currencies.

     Effective January 1, 2004, the Investment Grade Bond Fund changed its
     amortization and accretion methodology on premiums and discounts on fixed
     income securities in order to conform more closely to Internal Revenue Code
     requirements. The cumulative effect of this accounting change had no impact
     on total net assets, but resulted in an increase in interest income of
     $21,220 and a decrease in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of
     $21,220.

     The statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for prior
     periods have not been restated to reflect this change in accounting
     methodology.

     Expenses -- Expenses that are directly 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 or another appropriate
     basis.

     Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders -- Dividends and distributions
     to shareholders, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net
     investment income, if any, are declared and paid each calendar quarter for
     all Funds except for the International Equity Fund, which distributes
     income annually, and the Investment Grade Bond Fund, which distributes
     daily and pays monthly. Any net realized capital gains on sales of
     securities are distributed to shareholders at least annually.

 45


     The amounts of dividends from net investment income and of distributions
     from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income
     tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences
     are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these
     differences are permanent in nature (i.e. paydown gain/(loss) and foreign
     currency transactions), such amounts are reclassified within the
     composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment;
     temporary differences do not require reclassification.

     Compensating Balances -- If a Fund has a cash overdraft in excess of
     $100,000 it is required to leave 110% in compensating balance with SunTrust
     Bank (the "Custodian"), a wholly owned subsidiary of SunTrust Banks, Inc.,
     on the following day. If a Fund has a positive cash balance in excess of
     $100,000 it is allowed to overdraw 90% of the balance with the Custodian on
     the following business day.

3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

     Investment Advisory Agreements -- The Trust and Trusco Capital Management,
     Inc. (the "Investment Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of SunTrust
     Banks, Inc., have entered into advisory agreements (the "Advisory
     Agreements").

     Under terms of the Advisory Agreements, the Funds are charged the following
     annual fees based upon average daily net assets which are computed daily
     and paid monthly:

     reimbursements are voluntary (except for the Growth and Income Fund, for
     which the expense limit is contractual until 05/01/05) and may be
     terminated at any time.

     Effective October 5, 2004, Trusco Capital Management, Inc. began providing
     an employee to serve as Chief Compliance Officer for the Trust and provide
     certain related services, and will receive an annual fee for this service

     determining the investment policies of the Trust or which securities are to
     be purchased or sold in the Funds.

5. Federal Tax Policies and Information

It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment
companies as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to
make distributions from net investment income and from net realized gains
sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been paid or provided for in
accordance with applicable country's tax rules and rates.

At December 31, 2004, the total cost of securities and the net realized gains or
losses on securities sold for Federal income tax purposes were different from
amounts reported for financial reporting purposes due to wash sales which cannot
be used for Federal income tax purposes in the current year and have been
deferred for use in future years. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation
and depreciation for securities held by the Funds at December 31, 2004, were as
follows:

** As of the latest tax year end of December 31, 2004, the following Funds had
   net capital loss carryovers to offset future net capital gains, if any, to
   the extent provided by the Treasury regulations. To the extent that these
   carryovers are used to offset future gains, it is probable that the gains so
   offset will not be distributed to shareholders (000).

*** The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation
    (depreciation) is attributable primarily to: tax deferral of losses on wash
    sales, the difference between book and tax amortization methods for premium
    and market discount, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized
    gains/losses on investments in passive foreign investment companies, and the
    return of capital adjustments from real estate investment trusts.

6. Concentrations/Risks

The Investment Grade Bond Fund invests primarily in investment grade obligations
rated at least BBB or better by S&P or Baa or better by Moody's. Changes by
recognized rating agencies in the ratings of any fixed income security or in the
ability of an issuer to make payments of interest and principal may affect the
value of these investments.

The International Equity Fund invests in securities of foreign issuers in
various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and
risks not typically associated with investments in the United States as a result
of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic
developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of
securities markets in the respective countries.
7. Securities Lending

Each Fund may lend portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial
organizations that meet capital and other credit requirements or other criteria
established by the Trust's Board of Trustees. These loans may not exceed 33 1/3%
of the total asset value of the Fund (including the loan collateral). No Fund
will lend portfolio securities to its investment adviser or its affiliates
unless it has applied for and received specific authority to do so from the SEC.
Loans of portfolio securities will be fully collateralized by cash. The value of
the collateral is at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned.
However, due to market fluctuations, the value of securities loaned on a
particular day may, during the course of the day, exceed the value of
collateral. On each business day, the amount of collateral is adjusted based on
the prior day's market fluctuations and the current day's lending activity.
Income from lending activity is determined by the amount of interest earned on
collateral, less any amounts payable to the borrowers of the securities and the
lending agent. Lending securities involves certain risks, including the risk
that the Fund may be delayed or prevented from recovering the collateral if the
borrower fails to return the securities.

Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in
the Boston Global Investment Trust-Enhanced Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). This
investment consists of money market instruments including money market mutual
funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, commercial paper,
repurchase agreements, U.S. Treasury Bills and U.S. agency obligations. At
December 31, 2004, the Portfolio was invested in money market mutual funds,
commercial paper, certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, U.S. Agency
Obligations and corporate bonds (with interest rates ranging from 1.30% to 2.63%
and maturity dates ranging from 01/03/05 to 06/15/07).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST  December 31, 2004

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
  STI Classic Variable Trust

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations
and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Capital Appreciation Fund, Growth
and Income Fund, International Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Small Cap Value
Equity Fund, Value Income Stock Fund and Investment Grade Bond Fund
(constituting STI Classic Variable Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust")
at December 31, 2004, the results of each of their operations for the year then
ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in
the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at December 31, 2004 by correspondence with the
custodians and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The
financial highlights for each of the two years ended December 31, 2001 were
audited by other independent accountants who have ceased operations. Those
independent accountants expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
statements in their report dated February 7, 2002.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES (UNAUDITED)

As a shareholder of the STI Classic Variable Trust, you incur two types of
costs: (1) transaction costs, (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and
other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your
ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the STI Classic Variable Trust and to
compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the
period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2004 through December 31,
2004.

Actual Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual
expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you
invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid 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 table under the
heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid
on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and
hypothetical expenses based on each STI Classic Variable Trust Fund's actual
expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses,
which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and
expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or
expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this
5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the
shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, 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
transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
