To our Shareholders:

         For the second quarter ending September 30,1997,  the Bjurman Micro-Cap
Growth Fund's total return was +34.62%  versus the Russell 2000 Growth Index and
the Russell 2000 Index being up 16.92%, and 14.88%, respectively,  over the same
time period. Each index is an unmanaged indicator of small  capitalization stock
performance.  Since inception on March 31,1997  through  September 30, 1997, the
Fund has had a total return of 63.33%  versus  33.51% for the Russell 2000 Index
and 37.44% for the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

         Small  capitalization  stocks began outperforming large  capitalization
stocks in April of this year largely  reflecting better relative earnings growth
for these  stocks  and the three year  underperformance  of small  versus  large
capitalization  issues.  According to  preliminary  data from Lipper  Analytical
Services, micro cap mutual funds were the best performers among diversified U.S.
stock funds in the first nine months of 1997.

         The best performing  sectors in the Bjurman Micro-Cap Growth Fund as of
September 30, 1997 were Electronic  Technology,  Energy, Retail and Finance. The
Fund currently holds 27.15% in Electronic Technology, 12.35% in Energy, 7.89% in
Retail and 5.14% in Finance.

                             Our Management Approach
                             -----------------------
         The Fund  seeks  capital  appreciation  through  investments  in common
stocks of companies with market  capitalizations  typically  between $30 million
and $300 million at the time of investment. We employ a growth-oriented approach
to equity  investment  management and seek to outperform  market averages over a
complete  market cycle by  investing in companies we believe have above  average
earnings prospects.

         The Adviser's equity selection process attempts to identify undervalued
companies with superior earnings growth  characteristics.  The selection process
starts by  screening a universe of  approximately  1,900  companies  with market
capitalizations  ranging from $30 million up to $300 million,  using five models
which emphasize both growth and value attributes.  The screening factors include
(1)  earnings  growth,  (2)  earnings  strength,   (3)  earnings  revision,  (4)
price/earnings  to  growth  ratio  and (5)  price to cash  flow.  The next  step
involves a top-down  economic  analysis  designed to identify  the 10 to 15 most
promising industries over the next 12 to 18 months.



<PAGE>


         Stocks are ranked according to the above five criteria in an attempt to
identify  approximately 100 to 190 companies  offering the best growth prospects
and  selling  at  attractive  prices.  The  highest  ranking  stocks in the most
promising industries are then subjected to additional  fundamental and technical
research.  Generally,  we attempt to identify profitable  companies with capable
management teams, above average  reinvestment  rates, strong industry positions,
and productive  research and development  efforts.  To ensure a well diversified
portfolio,  commitments to any one issue or industry are generally limited to 5%
and 15%, respectively, of the Fund's market value.

                                 Market Outlook
                                 --------------
         Small cap  companies  as a group are  expected  to show  profit  growth
surpassing that of large caps for the next 12 months versus the last 12 months.

         Small cap  stock  prices  have  underperformed  large cap stock  prices
during the past three years leaving them at the lower end of relative  valuation
levels.

         Small cap companies are less impacted by the strengthening dollar which
negatively impacts the larger companies doing business overseas.

         The new capital gains tax reduction  has a greater  positive  impact on
tax  returns to  investors  who get most of their  returns  from  capital  gains
generated from faster growing small companies.

         Slow economic growth, low interest rates and moderate inflation are all
conducive to positive returns from the fast growing small cap sector.

         All of the above  factors  bode well for the  outlook for the small cap
sectors of the market.

Sincerely,

BJURMAN MICRO-CAP GROWTH FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                     SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTE 1 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Bjurman  Funds (the  "Trust" ) is  organized  as a Delaware  business  trust
pursuant to a Trust  Agreement dated September 26, 1996. The Trust is registered
under  the  Investment  Company  Act  of  1940,  as  amended,  as  an  open-end,
diversified  management  investment  company.  The Trust is  organized  to offer
separate  series of shares and is currently  offering a single  series of shares
called  Bjurman  Micro-Cap  Growth  Fund (the  "Fund").  The Fund seeks  capital
appreciation  through  investments  in common stocks of smaller  companies  with
market  capitalizations  between  $30  million  and $300  million at the time of
investment.  The  following  is a summary  of  significant  accounting  policies
consistently   followed  by  the  Fund  in  the  preparation  of  its  financial
statements.  The policies are in conformity with generally  accepted  accounting
principles for investment companies.

A. SECURITY VALUATION. Investments in securities traded on a national securities
exchange  are valued at the last  reported  sales  price.  Unlisted  securities,
securities sold  over-the-counter,  or listed  securities in which there were no
sales,  are valued at the mean of the closing  bid and ask  prices.  When market
quotations are not readily available,  securities and other assets are valued at
fair  value as  determined  in good faith by the Board of  Trustees.  Short-term
obligations  having a maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized  cost,
which the Board of Trustees believes represents fair value.

B. INVESTMENT  INCOME AND SECURITIES  TRANSACTIONS.  Security  transactions  are
accounted  for on the date the  securities  are  purchased or sold (trade date).
Cost is determined and gains and losses are based on the  identified  cost basis
for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is
reported on the  ex-dividend  date.  Interest  income and  expenses  are accrued
daily.

C. ORGANIZATION COSTS. Organization costs are being amortized on a straight line
basis over five years from commencement of operations.

D. FEDERAL  INCOME  TAXES.  It is the  policy  of the Fund to  comply  with  all
requirements  of the Internal  Revenue Code  applicable to regulated  investment
companies  and to  distribute  substantially  all of its  taxable  income to its
shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.

E. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS.  The Fund will distribute substantially all of
its net  investment  income in December,  and capital gains,  if any,  annually.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend  date.  Income and
capital  gain  distributions  are  determined  in  accordance  with  income  tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

F. USE OF  ESTIMATES.  In preparing  financial  statements  in  conformity  with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles,   management  makes  estimates  and
assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities at the
date of the financial  statements,  as well as the reported  amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

NOTE 2 -- PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

Purchases and sales of securities,  other than short-term  investments,  totaled
$1,677,173 and $160,683, respectively, for the period ended September 30, 1997.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTE 3 -- INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

George D. Bjurman & Associates (the "Adviser"), a registered investment adviser,
provides the Fund with investment management services.  For providing investment
advisory  services,  the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee which is calculated
by applying an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
The Adviser has  voluntarily  agreed to waive its fees for the first fiscal year
to  the  extent  total   annualized  fund  operating   expenses,   inclusive  of
distribution expenses,  exceed 1.80% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For
the period ended  September  30, 1997,  advisory fees of $2,958 were paid to the
Adviser and the Adviser  reimbursed  the Fund  $103,851.  The Fund has adopted a
Distribution  Plan (the  "Plan"),  pursuant to Rule 12b-1  under the  Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended,  which permits the Fund to pay certain expenses
associated with the distribution of its shares.  The Plan provides that the Fund
will reimburse FPS Broker Services,  Inc. (the  "Distributor"),  the Fund's sole
underwriter and distributor,  for actual distribution and shareholder  servicing
expenses incurred by the Distributor not exceeding, on an annual basis, 0.25% of
the Fund's  average daily net assets.  For the period ended  September 30, 1997,
the Fund  reimbursed  the  Distributor  $740 for  distribution  costs  incurred.
Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are affiliated persons of the Adviser.
All officers serve without direct compensation from the Fund.
