A renewed rise in oil prices and more hawkish Fed comments pushed most equity sectors lower. Energy stocks dominated in QI and were up 47°Io from a year ago. Bond yields rose daring the quarter, credit spreads widened, and the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index,fell 0.5%. Please refer to appendix for full disclosure. • Despite a firm economic backdrop, both the equity and bond markets struggled in the first quarter following the post-election rally at the end of 2004. The S&P 500 fell 2.1 % on a total return basis after rising 9.2% in the fourth quarter, and Lehman Aggregate Bond Index fell 0.5% following a 1.0% gain in the previous quarter. The trailing price/earnings ratio for the S&P 500 eased to 17.6x, and yields on the 10-year Treasury note and the 10-year A-rated corporate bond closed the quarter at 4.5% and 5.3%, respectively. • First quarter economic strength was due to better than expected consumer spending and double-digit growth in capital spending. However, several "headwinds" acted as restraints including a renewed rise in oil prices and higher interest rates. Headline inflation moved higher during the period, in part due to higher energy costs, but also to improved pricing power in some industries. These developments prompted two more quarter-point Fed rate hikes and a shift toward more "hawkish", anti-inflation policy language. The fed funds rate, 2 3/4% on March 31, has been raised seven times for a total of 1 3/a%. • Further Fed tightening caused the Treasury yield curve to shift higher and flatten further in the first quarter, but the key development was a sharp rise in long bond yields following Greenspan's "conundrum" remarks. Moreover, selective credit concerns (notably GM) caused quality spreads to widen somewhat from relatively narrow levels during the quarter. The high yield and credit sectors were particularly weak in the first quarter, while TIPS outperformed. • In the equity markets, energy was the dominant sector, increasing 17.4% in the quarter and 47% over the past year. Utilities, a relatively small sector in the S&P 500, also improved. Technology (-7.3%), finance (-6.4%), and consumer discretionary stocks (-5.7%) were weak. Mid-caps, international, and the value style outperformed for the quarter. • We remain positive on the outlook for the economy and corporate profits, but the rate of growth in both is likely to slow closer to historical averages, due to rising headwinds and more difficult comparisons, respectively. In particular, economic growth may drop temporarily below average over the near term as a result of these headwinds. 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. However, we recognize that some of the factors that have favored equities (steep yield curve, low yields, 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 significant market pullback as an opportunity to build equity positions, if energy prices and bond yields moderate. • In fixed-income portfolios, we anticipate moderately higher yields and a further flattening of the yield curve, though much of the move has already occurred. In this environment we will maintain a neutral duration maturity structure and an overweight in Treasury inflation-indexed securities (TIPS). We will maintain an underweight position in corporate bonds and mortgages.

Demand for energy is fairly inflexible (inelastic) over short periods, so consumers were forced to spend a greater percentage on driving as shown in the chart at right. A key aspect of the current price rise, compared with previous episodes however, is that availability of oil and gas has not been an issue. In the past, lack of availability had a significant negative impact on confidence. 60 so ao 30 20 10 Tax Cuts and Rebates Support Ending Personal Income (YOY%-Blue) Disposable Income (YOY%-Olive) • Job growth is key to generating increased consumer income, now that the tax cuts and rebates have ended.

Note: 4.50 • Firm economic reports helped the S&P 500 rally to a 3 ~/z year high on March 7 before easing back below the 12/31/04 close. Treasury bond yields rose sharply, due in part to Greenspan's "conundrum" over persistent low long-term yields. The 10-year Treasury yield moved up over 4.6% to the highest level since last July. • S&P 500 lagged the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index by 1.6% year to date. • S&P 500 outperformed the Russell 2000 by 3.2%YTD. • International (MSCI EAFE) outperformed the S&P 500 2.0% YTD. • Russell 1000 Value was 4.2% ahead of Growth in D1, but Barra Growth outperformed Barra Value by 0.5%. • Lehman High Yield lagged the Aggregate YTD by 1.1%. • TIPS outperformed the Aggregate by 15 basis points in D1. • Stock/Bond Indicators: Higher bond yields hampered stock valuations, but overall indicators changed only marginally. While a further rise in bond yields and oil prices pose anear-term risk for equities, we retain our moderate overweight position given the favorable prospects for moderate economic expansion and continued, though slower, earnings growth. • Large-Cap/Small-Cap Indicators: The small-cap outperformance is extended, and we believe it is vulnerable to a reversion in the current environment. A further drop in the equity risk premium shifted the Valuation indicators toward Large-cap in the latest reading. Our indicators on balance lean toward Large-cap and we retain our overweight position. • GrowthNalue Indicators: Value outperformance is also extended. The relatively sharp rise in bond yields helped tilt the Economy indicators toward Growth. However, the indictors are mixed overall and we are neutral. • International: The dollar remained relatively weak in 01 as a continuing large trade deficit mingled with rumors that some foreign central banks may begin to diversify out of dollars. We continue to overweight International stocks. • Fixed-Income: Infixed income portfolios, we have removed the barbell maturity structure and are neutral duration. We remain overweight in TIPS, but have an underweight position in corporates and mortgages. • The economic outlook remains favorable and recent consumer-related reports have been stronger than expected. However, we believe growth will slow closer to the historical average, and core inflation will move moderately higher. Risks are increasingly important in this environment, particularly with the current low volatility. Fed comments, oil price moves, budget battles, the trade deficit, profit repatriation, pension reform, etc. all have the possibility of influencing the markets over the short-term. While a further rise in bond yields, mortgage rates, and oil prices would be detrimental to equity valuations, we would add to equity positions on weakness due to the persistent strength in the economy.

Mid-cap, value, and international stocks outperformed. Outperformance of high quality stocks returned. In fixed-income markets, the Fed raised rates twice, but the fed funds rate remained under the generally recognized "neutral range of 3-5%. The sharp rise in bond yields was accompanied by selected high-profile credit downgrades. The high yield and credit sectors were particularly weak in the first quarter, while TIPS outperformed. • 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 rising headwinds and more difficult comparisons, respectively. Capital spending is expected to continue growing faster than consumer spending. Headline inflation may ease if oil prices retreat from the recent spike, but core inflation will likely trend moderately higher, supporting the Fed's plan to raise interest rates gradually in the months ahead. The dollar will likely remain under downward pressure. Bond yields are likely to rise moderately higher. • We continue to recommend a modest overweight position in stocks within current asset allocation ranges. However, we recognize that some of the factors that have favored equities (steep yield curve, low yields, 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 significant market pullback as an opportunity to build equity positions, if energy prices and bond yields moderate. • In fixed-income portfolios, we anticipate moderately higher yields and a further flattening of the yield curve, though much of the move has already occurred. We also see credit spreads as vulnerable given their relatively low level. In this environment we favor a neutral duration maturity structure and an overweight in Treasury inflation-indexed securities (TIPS). We will also maintain an underweight position in corporate bonds and mortgages. a4.;~>.

As a result stock returns were negative, with the S&P 500 down 2.2% and the Fund down 3.6%. The best performing sectors were Energy, Utilities, and Materials which were underweighted in the portfolio. The worst sectors were Telecommunications, Information Technology, and Financials, the latter two over-weighted during the quarter. We project little earnings growth potential from the winning sectors and good earnings projections for the lagging sectors. With the economy i growing at or above its long term trend, and commodity inflation expected to ebb, we forecast that investors will perceive large cap growth stocks as the best place to be in 2005 because the trend from the past few years of favoring defensive value stocks and small cap stocks has run its course and a shift to our style will develop.

The STI Classic Small Cap Value Fund returned -1.9% for the quarter versus -4.0% for the Russell 2000 Value Index. Higher quality companies continued to be top performers for the first quarter of 2005. Superior selection of securities assisted the Fund in outperforming the benchmark. Outperformance was most evident in the Financials and Information Technology sectors. The market is re-evaluating equities due to the impact of higher commodity prices and interest rates. These risks may cause fears of economic deceleration. Strict adherence to quality and lower risk companies benefits Fund performance over longer time periods. This is driven by a bottoms-up, dividend paying investment process which prefers quality stocks over high risk, unprofitable companies.

Defensive strategies implemented in late 2004 and early 2005 produced excellent relative performance in the first quarter of 2005, which was 40 basis points above the Merrill Lynch Index. Higher interest rates and wider spreads weighed on the fixed income markets in the quarter and led to negative returns for most sectors of the market. Very rich valuations drove us to a significant underweight in the high quality credit sectors which contributed positively to relative performance. The FED is clearly committed to its current course of action of pushing short term rates higher in a measured fashion. With the yield curve having flattened significantly in 2004, we took action to limit our exposure to shifts in the curve. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are one of the few market sectors where we still see value and they remain a core holding. Corporates remain at historically rich levels and we will maintain our underweight until we see more attractive values in the spread sectors. With spreads as tight as they are, the foregone coupon income is minimal while providing a more compelling near-term risk/reward profile.

Performance data related to accounts managed by Trusco represents returns gross of investment management fees. See Trusco's Form ADV, Nart II for a description of investment advisory tees. The performance information reported herein may be for a variety of products which have different methods of presenting performance data, i.e. net of fees, gross of fees, or a combination of these. This information should not be evaluated independent of or without reference to the investment advisory agreement that more specifically addresses applicable investment advisory fees. Fees have a compounding effect on cumulative results. For example, assume the account achieves a 10% annual return prior to the deduction of fees each year for a period of ten years. If an annual fee of 0.5% of assets under management were charged each of the ten years, the resulting annual average return net of fees would be reduced to 9.48~/~. YIELD INFORMATION Yield information more closely retlects the current earnings of the Fund than the total return. In the absence of current fee waivers the yield would be reduced. A SEC Yield relates aggregate net earnings of a fund to its aggregate net assets. In any given period a Lund may distribute more or less than its actual income.

The net asset value per share of equity mutual funds will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes. MPT STATISTICS/OTHER MEASUREMENTS Alpha -Alpha is defined as the difference between the average realized return of a portfolio manager with private information and the expected return of the passive strategy based upon public information only with equal systematic risk. Beta - A measure of an investment's volatility, relative to an appropriate asset class. R-Squared -Statistical measure of how well a regression line approximates real data points; an r-squared of 1.0 (100/0) indicates a perlect fit. r- squared measures how well the Capital Asset Pricing Model predicts the actual performance of an investment or portfolio. Sharpe Ratio -The Sharpe Ratio (also known as Reward-to-Volatility-Ratio) indicates the excess return per unit of risk associated with the excess return.
