We at The Hough Group of Funds continue to believe that either or both of The Florida TaxFree Funds represent prudent investments for investors who seek to reduce their federal income and Florida Intangible Tax liabilities. The Florida TaxFree Money Market Fund Total net assets of the Fund were $166.3 million as of October 31, 2003. This compares with $160.8 million on April 30, 2003 and $172.1 million on October 31, 2002. iMoneyNet Inc. (formerly IBC Financial Data, Inc.) is a respected mutual fund performance and statistical reporting company that ranks money market fund performance by category. For the five-year period ending October 31, 2003, The Florida TaxFree Money Fund was ranked number 69 out of 356 tax-exempt money market funds by iMoneyNet, based on total return for the period. For the three-year period ended October 31, 2003, The Florida TaxFree Money Market Fund was ranked 97 out of 422 tax-exempt money market funds by iMoneyNet. For the one-year period ended October 31, 2003, The Florida TaxFree Money Market Fund was ranked 166 out of 516 tax-exempt money market funds by iMoneyNet. Had the adviser not reimbursed certain fees and expenses, the yield and ranking would have been lower. Past performance is also no guarantee of future results. The 7-day average yield of the Fund was 0.50% as of October 31, 2003. For individual investors in the 35% federal tax bracket who have Florida intangible assets of $250,000 or more, the tax equivalent yield was 0.87%. The Florida TaxFree ShortTerm Fund As of October 31, 2003, total net assets for the Fund were $22.9 million, compared with assets of $24.0 million on April 30, 2003 and $23.1 million on October 31, 2002. The portfolio had a dollar-weighted average maturity of 2.4 years and a 30-day SEC yield of 1.49% on October 31, 2003. This yield equates to a tax equivalent yield of 2.39% for an individual investor in the 35% federal tax bracket with Florida intangible assets of $250,000 or more. The Florida TaxFree ShortTerm Fund is a variable net asset value mutual fund, and therefore the value of shares fluctuates with the movements of the short-term municipal bond market. The net asset value per share was $10.17 on October 31, 2003, compared with $10.21 on April 30, 2003, and $10.25 on October 31, 2002. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2003 the Florida TaxFree ShortTerm Fund had a total return of .87%, assuming reinvestment of all distributions. The cumulative total return on the Fund since its inception November 22, 1993 through October 31, 2003 was 51.39%. This represents a return of 4.26% on an annualized basis. Another way of illustrating this return since inception would be that $10,000 invested on November 22, 1993 would have grown to $15,138.80 on October 31, 2003, assuming reinvestment of all distributions. The Florida Intangible Tax The Florida intangible tax is assessed against intangible assets such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds as of January 1 each year. Each of The Florida TaxFree Funds will ordinarily invest at least 80% of its assets in Florida obligations. While state-specific tax-free funds can invest up to 35% in out-of-state issues, your Funds' portfolio management committee intends to keep the Funds completely exempt from the Florida Intangible Tax by investing in only Florida or other exempt issues at the appropriate time. We appreciate your investment in The Florida TaxFree Funds and urge you to contact us at 1-800-557-7555 whenever we can be of assistance. Sincerely, W. Robb Hough, Jr. President The Hough Group of Funds The Florida TaxFree Money Market Fund Statement of Investments October 31, 2003 (Unaudited) Variable Rate Demand Notes

1. Summary of Accounting Policies The Florida TaxFree Money Market Fund (the "Money Fund") and The Florida TaxFree ShortTerm Fund (the "ShortTerm Fund") are series of The Hough Group of Funds (the "Trust"), which was organized as a Massachusetts Business Trust on July 22, 1993. The Trust is registered as an open-end non-diversified management investment company and commenced operations on November 22, 1993. Both Funds seek a high level of current interest income, exempt from federal income tax, as is consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity, and both are intended to be exempt from Florida intangible property tax. Each Fund is considered to be a separate entity for financial reporting and tax purposes. Their financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies as follows: Valuation of Securities For the Money Fund, investments are stated at amortized cost. Under this valuation method, a portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any discount or premium is amortized to the maturity of the instrument. For the ShortTerm Fund, municipal obligations are stated on the basis of valuations provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, which considers information with respect to transactions in bonds, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities in determining value. Variable Rate Demand Notes The Funds have invested in certain variable interest demand notes that are redeemable at specified intervals upon demand. The securities are secured as to principal and interest by bank letters of credit or corporate or insurance company guarantees. The maturity of these instruments for the purpose of calculating the portfolio's weighted average maturity is considered to be the greater of the period until the interest rate is adjusted or until the principal can be recovered by demand. Securities Traded on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Bonds The Funds may trade on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price. Although the Funds will generally purchase these securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, it may sell such securities before the settlement date. Federal Income Taxes It is the policy of each Fund to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required. Dividends and Distributions Dividends from investment income (excluding capital gains and losses if any) are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, on the sales of investments are recorded on the ex-dividend date, and made after the close of the Fund's fiscal year and in November, December and/or January, as declared by the Board of Trustees. Such distributions are subject to federal income taxes. Dividends paid from net investment income are generally exempt from federal income taxes. However, certain shareholders may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). General Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date an order to buy or sell is executed). Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains or losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote. Expenses Expenses arising in connection with each Fund are allocated directly to the respective Fund, if specifically identifiable. Other expenses are allocated between the Funds in proportion to the relative net assets of each Fund. Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliate Under its investment advisory agreements, William R. Hough & Co. (WRH) provides the Funds with investment research, advice, and supervision, and manages the business affairs of each Fund. For these services, the Money Fund and ShortTerm Fund have agreed to pay WRH a monthly fee at an annual rate of .50% and .60%, respectively, of their average net assets. For the six-month period ended October 31, 2003, management fees totaled $422,552 and $70,869 for the Money Fund and ShortTerm Fund, respectively. The Funds also compensate WRH for services provided under a Transfer Agency and Fund Accounting Agreement at the rate of $18 per account per year. During the six month period ended October 31, 2003, fees under this agreement amounted to $32,301 and $2,394 for the Money Fund and the ShortTerm Fund, respectively. However, these and all other expenses of the Funds were paid by WRH to the extent that they exceeded .50% of each Fund's average daily net assets. Expenses in excess of .50% of each Fund's average daily net assets will continue to be paid by WRH until notice is otherwise provided to shareholders. To the extent that actual expenses in future years are less than the maximum .50% expense limitation, the Funds may be required to reimburse WRH for expenses paid in excess of the limitation during the prior three years, subject to the .50% expense limitation. Amounts subject to recapture and related expiration dates are as follows: 4/30/2004 4/30/2005 4/30/2006 Money Fund $ 464,465 $ 503,009 $ 368,675 ShortTerm Fund $ 150,561 $ 169,943 $ 148,206 The Funds have adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the "Plans") under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 12b-1, which authorize each Fund to pay WRH up to .25% of its annual average net assets for shareholder support services or sales activities. The amounts reported as distribution and service fees in the 2. Investment Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliate (continued) Statements of Operations represent Fund distribution costs, such as advertising, printing, and dealer commissions, all of which were paid by WRH, and are included in expense reimbursements and fee reductions. During the six-month period ended October 31, 2003, the Money Fund paid $314 to WRH for brokerage fees and the ShortTerm Fund paid $208 to WRH for brokerage fees. Fees are paid to Trustees of the Trust at the rate of $1,000 per year plus $500 per quarterly meeting and $400 per audit committee meeting per trustee. Subsequent Event - Sale of William R. Hough & Co. On December 15, 2003, it was announced that WRH, which serves as advisor, distributor, and transfer agent for The Florida TaxFree Funds, was purchased by RBC Dain Rauscher, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Bank of Canada. It is uncertain at this time what impact this transaction will have on the Funds. The anticipated closing date for the purchase of WRH is February 27, 2004. 3. Fund Shares Transactions in Fund shares for the six month period ended October 31, 2003 and the year ended April 30,2003 were as follows: Money Fund* ShortTerm Fund Shares Dollars Six Months Year Six Months Year Six Months Year Ended Ended Ended Ended Ended Ended 10/31/03 4/30/03 10/31/03 4/30/03 10/31/03 4/30/03 Sold.......... 212,208,483 432,376,137 833,323 2,149,066 8,522,880 21,951,567 Issued on reinvested dividends..... 477,831 1,599,401 25,452 73,320 259,376 750,482 Redeemed......

4. Investment Transactions Purchases and sales/maturities of investment securities (excluding short term securities) for the ShortTerm Fund for the six months ended October 31, 2003 were $7,118,618 and $7,191,054, respectively. 5. Federal Income Taxes & Distributions to Shareholders At October 31, 2003, the cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was approximately the same as that for financial reporting purposes. Market value includes net unrealized appreciation over tax cost of $397,983 for the ShortTerm Fund, which consists of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and (depreciation) of $441,741 and ($43,758), respectively. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from that reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Differences between book basis and tax basis distributions and undistributed gains are attributed primarily to market discount accretion. The amount and character of tax-basis distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year end; accordingly, tax basis balances have not been determined as of October 31, 2003. As of April 30, 2003, the ShortTerm Fund had net tax basis capital loss carryforwards in the aggregate of $3,553, which are available to offset future distributable, realized taxable gains.
