President’s Message
 

 
Dear Shareholder:
 
I’m pleased to present the Annual Report to Shareholders for the Hibernia Funds. The report covers the activity of the Hibernia Funds over the 12-month fiscal year period from September 1, 2001 through  August 31, 2002. It includes an interview with each fund’s portfolio manager, as well as a complete listing of portfolio holdings and financial statements for each fund.
 
Uncertainty about the strength of the economy, corporate accounting scandals, and world conflict continued to impact the stock market during the reporting period under review. As a result, all of the major stock indexes recorded negative returns. The S&P 500 was down 17.99%, the S&P 400 Mid Cap was down 9.24% and the S&P Small Cap 600 was down 9.53%.* In this environment, the Hibernia stock funds—Hibernia Capital Appreciation Fund and Hibernia Mid Cap Equity Fund—also recorded negative returns, but continued to turn in competitive results for the reporting period compared to their benchmarks.
 
In contrast, fixed income portfolios continued to record positive returns. The Hibernia Total Return Bond Fund, Hibernia Louisiana Municipal Income Fund and Hibernia U.S. Government Income Fund, in addition to providing income, continued to add a level of diversification and help reduce the volatility of investors’ stock portfolios.
 
In addition, Hibernia Cash Reserves Fund and Hibernia U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund continued to provide a highly conservative haven where cash earned a competitive level of income on a daily basis.
 
While the current decline in stocks has been long, bear markets don’t last forever. Always keep in mind the importance of diversification and a long-term perspective when evaluating your stock investments.
 
Thank you for keeping your money working in the key financial markets through the professional management and diversification of the Hibernia Funds. We’re committed to providing you with the highest level of service as we keep you up-to-date on your investment progress.
 
Sincerely,
 
/s/ Edward C. Gonzales
Edward C. Gonzales
President,

Management Discussion & Analysis
 

 
Hibernia Capital Appreciation Fund
Annual Report/12-month period from September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2002
 
Q
 
What is your review of the fund’s fiscal year, which saw stocks continue to struggle?
A
The Hibernia Capital Appreciation Fund produced competitive returns versus its peers, including the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002. This was accomplished by continuing to emphasize diversification and high quality in selecting stocks for the fund’s portfolio. This approach afforded maximum protection in a difficult stock market  environment.
 
Q
In this environment, what was the fund’s total return for the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2002 versus its benchmark, the S&P 500?
 
A
The fund’s Class A Shares had a total return of (17.18)% for the reporting period ended August 31, 2002, based on net asset value.* The S&P 500 had a return of (17.99)% for the same reporting period.
 
Q
A host of issues—world conflict, terrorism, corporate accounting scandals and uncertainty about the degree of economic recovery—combined to keep investors on the sidelines. At this point, what is your outlook for stocks?
 
A
At this point, it would appear that the stock market, on a fundamental basis, has discounted most of the bad news as described in the question above. The economy, as a whole, continues to improve. This should translate into better earnings results as we approach 2003. We feel that next year should be a better year for large cap stock performance.

Hibernia Louisiana Municipal Income Fund
Annual Report/12-month period from September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2002
 
Q
 
What are your comments on the continued positive environment for municipal bonds?
A
Municipal bond investors have enjoyed an historic rise in bond prices over the past several months. Global uncertainty about the U.S. economy, homeland security, scandalous corporate accounting and a declining stock market set off a stampede of investors wanting the safety of tax exempt bonds. And while rates have declined sharply, municipal bonds are still attractive investments for long term investors in higher tax brackets seeking tax exempt income.
 
Q
 
How did the fund perform on a total return and income basis for the reporting period?
A
The fund’s Class A Shares enjoyed a total return of 5.32%, based on net asset value.* Of this return, 0.62% was price appreciation and 4.70% was income.
 
Q
Investors have been well-rewarded for holding municipal bonds during the reporting period. As we leave 2002, what do you see ahead?
 
A
We believe that municipal bonds prices are likely to remain stable for the next several months while the economy builds steam. The fundamentals of low inflation, improving industrial productivity and a mild recovery will keep interest rates historically low and help support municipal bond prices for the foreseeable future.

The maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 5.50% for Class B Shares.

Hibernia Mid Cap Equity Fund
Annual Report/12-month period from September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2002
 
Q
Although mid cap stocks fared better than large caps, stocks, in general, struggled to regain their footing during the 12-month reporting period. What are your comments?
 
A
Against a background of uncertainty about an economic recovery, mid cap stocks performed relatively better than their large cap counterparts. This relative performance was due to the better reported earnings that mid cap stocks enjoyed during the reporting period. We expect this out-performance by mid cap stocks to continue as we look forward to an improving market environment in 2003.
 
Q
In this environment, how did the fund perform over the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2002?  
 
A
The fund’s Class A Shares had a total return of (8.27)% for the reporting period ended August 31, 2002, based on net asset value.* This represented a slight advantage over the (9.24)% return for the Standard & Poor’s 400 Mid Cap Index.
 
Q
As we near the end of 2002, what is your outlook for mid cap stocks?  
 
A
Mid cap stocks should continue to out-perform other sectors of the stock market. This is because mid cap stocks continue to show more positive earnings visibility relative to other sectors of the stock market.

Hibernia Total Return Bond Fund
Annual Report/12-month period from September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2002
 
Q
What are your comments on the bond market, which continued to chug along in positive territory during the 12-month reporting period?
 
A
Most of the sectors of the bond market thrived on the uncertainty experienced over the past 12 months. Terrorist bombings, corporate accounting scandals, insider trading and recession were but a few of the major events with which investors were forced to contend. Treasury bonds, agency bonds and mortgage bonds were the clear winners while lower grade corporate bonds were clearly the loser. Over the past 12 months . . . quality was king.             
 
Q
 
How did the fund perform in terms of its income stream and total return?
A
The fund produced a total return during the reporting period of 5.39%, based on net asset value.* This compared to a 7.99% return for the Salomon Brothers Broad Investment-Grade Bond Index.** Of the fund’s return, (0.09)% was price depreciation and 5.48% was income.
 
Q
 
What sectors of the bond market are you emphasizing in the fund’s portfolio?
A
We emphasized U.S. government agency notes and bonds as well as higher quality corporate bonds. The fund generally held an under weighting in lower yielding U.S. treasury notes and low quality corporate securities.
 
Q
 
What is your outlook for the bond market as we leave 2002?
A
Given the extraordinary decline in interest rates to near 40 year lows, we believe further significant appreciation in bond prices is unlikely. We do believe that low inflation, higher productivity and a mild economic recovery will bode well for stable interest rates for the foreseeable future.

Hibernia U.S. Government Income Fund
Annual Report/12-month period from September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2002
 
Q
Bond investors continued to enjoy positive returns during the 12-month reporting period. What are your comments on the bond market’s extended period of positive gains?
 
A
The bond markets have continued to react positively to the weak economic environment. Yields across the maturity spectrum are near all-time lows, having earned bondholders significant positive total returns. The strongest sectors for the 12-month reporting period have generally been longer-dated maturities and U.S. government agency securities.
 
Q
 
On a total return and income basis, how did the fund perform for the reporting period?
A
The fund achieved a total return of 7.39%, based on net asset value, for the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2002.* The 30-day SEC yield was 3.99%, based on net asset value, and 3.87%, based on offering price.
 
Q
 
What is your outlook for bonds over the next six months?
A
With yields at near-historic lows, the future upside, in total return terms, seems limited. Global economic weakness is likely to continue, however, which would tend to keep a lid on bond yields. In this scenario, bondholders should expect to earn their coupons and be wary of maturity risk.

Hibernia Cash Reserve Fund
Annual Report/12-month period from September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2002
 
Q
For investors, money market funds were more rewarding than equity funds for stability in difficult times. What are your comments on the short-term marketplace during the 12-month reporting period?
 
A
Money markets have indeed been a “safe-haven” for investors finally learning about risks in their equity investments. With the economy showing persistent signs of weakness, rates were driven lower. The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank reacted to the market and pushed the Fed Funds Target Rate to historically low levels. Furthermore, with little expectation of the economy strengthening, the money market yield curve was flat, both in terms of maturity and quality.
 
Q
As a result, where did the 7-day net yield of the fund stand at the beginning and end of the reporting period ended August 31, 2002?
 
A
The 7-day net yield for Class A Shares at the beginning of the reporting period was 2.67%, and 1.23% at the end of the 12-month reporting period.*
 
Q
In this low rate environment, what was your strategy in terms of the fund’s portfolio mix and average maturity during the reporting period?
 
A
The portfolio continued to be managed conservatively, with an emphasis on credit quality. Exposure to the more risky issuers in the commercial paper market was limited, with a significant portion of the fund invested in U.S. Government agency securities. Average maturity has been maintained in the short-to-medium range and was generally less than the average maturity for other funds.
 
Q
As signals seem to be mixed about the degree of projected economic recovery, what is your outlook for rates through the rest of the year and into 2003?
 
A
Short-term rates should remain low for the rest of this calendar year, with a slight possibility of going lower. This should continue into 2003, until more definitive signs of economic strengthening begin to appear.

Furthermore, with little expectation of the economy strengthening, the money market yield curve was flat, both in terms of maturity and quality.
 
Q
As a result, where did the 7-day net yield of the fund stand at the beginning and end of the reporting period?
 
A
The 7-day net yield at the beginning of the reporting period was 2.77%, and 1.10% at the end of the reporting period.*
 
Q
In this low rate environment, what was your strategy in terms of the fund’s portfolio mix and average maturity during the reporting period?
 
A
Portfolio mix was, of course, limited to U.S. Treasury obligations. In this flat yield curve environment, the maturity structure was fairly conservative with an average maturity in the short-to-medium range, and generally shorter than other Treasury money market funds.
 
Q
 
Do you expect short-term rates to start ticking back up within the next six months or so?
A
Short-term rates should remain low for the rest of this calendar year, with a slight possibility of going lower. This should continue into 2003, until more definitive signs of economic strengthening begin to appear.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
 
Investment Valuations—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, listed corporate bonds, and other fixed income and asset backed securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. Listed equity securities are valued at the last sale price reported on a national securities exchange. Cash Reserve Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund use the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”). For Capital Appreciation Fund, Louisiana Municipal Income Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, Total Return Bond Fund and U.S. Government Income Fund, 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. Securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Funds (the “Trustees”). Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value.
 
Repurchase Agreements—It is the policy of the Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by the Funds’ adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed with, or established by, the Trustees. The Funds may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements.
 
Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions—Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All premiums/discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes as required. Gains and losses realized on pre-payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of interest income. 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. Some of the Funds offer two classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds based on average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.
 
Effective September 1, 2001, the Trust has adopted the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies. The Funds began accreting and amortizing long term discounts and premiums on debt securities. Prior to September 1, 2001, the Trust did not accrete discounts on all debt securities or classify all paydown gains and losses as interest income. The cumulative effect of this accounting change had no impact on the total net assets of these Funds, but resulted in the following adjustments based on securities held by the Funds at September 1, 2001:

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights for the prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.
 
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing book/tax treatments of market discount reclasses, paydown gains and losses and net operating losses. The following reclassifications have been made to the financial statements:

Federal Taxes—It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provision for federal tax is necessary.
 
At August 31, 2002, Capital Appreciation Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, U.S. Government Income Fund and Cash Reserve Fund for federal tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards, as noted below, which will reduce the Funds’ taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions—The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain 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.
 
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 Funds 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 good faith using methods approved by the Trustees.
 
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.
 
Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.


 
 
(3) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
 
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Transactions in shares were as follows:

Under the terms of the Plan, the Funds will reimburse Federated Securities Corp.

The Plan provides that the Funds, except for Class B Shares of the Capital Appreciation Fund, Louisiana Municipal Income Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund and Cash Reserve Fund, may incur distribution expenses up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds, annually, to reimburse FSC. Class B Shares of the Capital Appreciation Fund, Louisiana Municipal Income Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund and Cash Reserve Fund may incur distribution expenses up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Class B Shares, annually, to reimburse FSC.

For the year ended August 31, 2002, the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund did not incur distribution services fees.
 
Shareholder Services Fee—Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with Federated Shareholder Services Company (“FSSC”), Class B Shares of Capital Appreciation Fund, Louisiana Municipal Income Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund and Cash Reserve Fund will pay FSSC up to 0.25% of their average daily net assets for the reporting period. The fee paid to FSSC is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts.

FSSC can modify or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
Since Louisiana Municipal Income Fund 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 general tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at August 31, 2002, 76.5% of the securities in the portfolio of investments were backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The value of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency did not exceed 26.0% of total investments.


 
Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors
 
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Hibernia Funds
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Hibernia Capital Appreciation Fund, Hibernia Louisiana Municipal Income Fund, Hibernia Mid Cap Equity Fund, Hibernia Total Return Bond Fund, Hibernia U.S. Government Income Fund, Hibernia Cash Reserve Fund and Hibernia U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (the seven portfolios constituting the Hibernia Funds) (the “Trust”), as of August 31, 2002, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2002, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 respective portfolios constituting the Hibernia Funds, as identified above, at August 31, 2002, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
