LA CROSSE LARGE CAP STOCK FUND October 31, 2000
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
During the last twelve months, the market appears to have returned to the
concept that earnings do matter. Like other value investors, we were questioned
last year about our selection discipline in this new economy; analysts predicted
the "old" methods of valuation didn't apply today. While we never disputed that
new technology would reshape the way companies made money, we questioned the
validity of the prices investors were paying to participate.
In many cases, in 1999, investors were willing to invest in companies with
nothing more than an idea. We were cautious about participating because, as
investors, we were interested in companies that have shown a track record of
increasing shareholder value. We still believe that the best way to measure a
company's ability to increase shareholder value is to: a) look for reports of
positive earnings and b) examine the increase in the stream of earnings over
time.
Upon identifying those companies with established earnings, we paid close
attention to the prices, especially with regard to the increasing stream of
earnings. This valuation process is sometimes referred to as "intrinsic value."
Through the use of this discipline, we feel we can best position the portfolio
for long-term results, albeit sometimes at the expense of capitalizing on the
short-term momentum investments. Thus, our investment style is most likely to
continue to place us in the value category.
According to Ibbotson Associates publication Stocks, Bonds, Bills and Inflation
2000 Yearbook, value investing has outperformed the growth style for the period
from 1928 to 1999. According to the yearbook, Large Value stocks returned 12.7%
annualized versus 10.3% annualized for Large Growth stocks for this period.
However, if investors were to look at the decade of the '90s, the results are in
favor of Large Growth stocks with returns of 20.1% annualized versus 14.9%
annualized for Large Value stocks.
It is our belief that this recent dominance of Large Growth stocks over Large
Value stocks was mainly the result of the large decrease of inflation and
interest rates during this period. Given the current levels, we believe the
ability of the inflation and interest rates to show further substantial
decreases will be unlikely. Thus, we feel that our long-term methodology of
selecting companies based on earnings and the valuation of those future earnings
will remain a solid way to invest your money.
In the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, the returns of the La Crosse Large
Cap Stock Fund suggested that the markets have again refocused their attention
to earnings. For the twelve months ended October 31, 2000, the Fund returned
11.53% while the commonly referred to S&P 500/R Index returned 6.09%. The
Lipper Large-Cap Value Index returned 5.95%, while the Large-Cap value stocks as
represented by the Russell 1000/R Value Index returned 5.52%. By all
comparisons, our performance was competitive.<F1>
<PAGE>
The higher performance of the La Crosse Large Cap Stock Fund was a result of a
higher exposure than the S&P 500/R Index to the economic sectors which we
believed represented good value at the beginning of this period. These sectors
are Financial Services, Utilities, Retail and Health. By contrast, we had less
exposure than the S&P 500/R Index to the economic sectors of Technology and
Consumer Staples. With regard to the Consumer Staples sector, we felt that the
majority of the companies appear stagnated in their ability to increase
earnings. For the Technology sector, we felt that although the majority of the
companies had good growth prospects, the valuations were higher than we could
justify.
The performance was negatively impacted by some companies that we thought
represented good value if they could solve some of their internal problems.
Unfortunately, a couple of these companies proved unsuccessful in resolving the
internal problems, and thus we decided to liquidate the positions using the
losses to reduce the capital gains distribution. Examples of these investments
would be Conseco, Inc. and Boston Scientific Corp.
Looking forward, we will continue to utilize the same discipline we have
developed and look for opportunities to invest in companies we feel have good
intrinsic value. We would like to thank our investors for their confidence in
us and their commitment to our long-term selection methodology.
Sincerely,
Steven J. Hulme, CFA

The S&P 500/R Index is an unmanaged index of 500 selected common stocks, most of
which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Index is heavily weighted
toward stocks with large market capitalizations and represents approximately
two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic common stocks.
The Lipper Large-Cap Value Index is an unmanaged index that focuses on stock
mutual funds investing primarily in companies with large market capitalizations
that are considered undervalued relative to major stock indices based on price-
to-current earnings and price-to-book ratios.

1. Organization
------------
La Crosse Funds, Inc. (the "Corporation") was incorporated on September 4,
1998 as a Wisconsin corporation and is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment
company. The La Crosse Large Cap Stock Fund (the "Fund") commenced
operations after the close of business on December 31, 1998.
As of December 31, 1998, assets of the common and collective trust funds of
the North Central Trust Company Common Fund C Equity and North Central Trust
Company Growth Common Fund were transferred to the La Crosse Large Cap Stock
Fund under Section 584(h) of the Internal Revenue Code. These transfers
were treated as a tax-free event. To qualify as a tax-exempt transaction,
the securities were transferred at market value with the original cost basis
and purchase dates being retained for book and tax purposes. Proceeds from
commingled and common trust fund conversions, as shown on the Statement of
Changes in Net Assets for the period ended October 31, 1999 represent the
market value of the common and collective trust funds at the date of
conversion.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
-------------------------------
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"). The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(a) Investment Valuation - Common stocks and other equity-type securities
--------------------
are valued at the last sales price on a national securities exchange or
Nasdaq on which such securities are primarily traded, however,
securities traded on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq for which
there were no transactions on a given day, and securities not listed on
a national securities exchange or Nasdaq, are valued at the average of
the most recent bid and asked prices. Any securities or other assets
for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Fund or its delegate. The Board of Directors may approve the use of
pricing services to assist the Fund in the determination of net asset
value. All money market instruments held by the Fund will be valued on
an amortized cost basis.
(b) Federal Income Taxes - The Fund intends to comply with the requirements
--------------------
of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated
investment company and to make the requisite distributions of income to
its shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it from all or
substantially all federal income taxes.
(c) Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends from net investment income,
-----------------------------
if any, will be declared and paid quarterly. Distributions of net
realized gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its
capital accounts as a result of the timing and characterization of
certain income and capital gains distributions determined in accordance
with federal tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Fund
hereby designates approximately $1,598,427 as a capital gain dividend
for the purpose of the dividends paid deduction. For the year ended
October 31, 2000, 100% of the dividends from taxable income, including
short-term gains, qualify for the dividends received deduction
available to corporate shareholders.
(d) Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date
-----
basis. The Fund determines the gain or loss realized from the
investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security
lot sold with the net sale proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on
the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from foreign securities will
be recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend if such
information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Interest
income is recognized on an accrual basis.

October 31, 2000, and the related statements of operations for the year then
ended, changes in net assets for the year then ended and the period from
inception, which commenced after the close of business on December 31, 1998

and the period from inception to October 31, 1999. These financial statements
and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based upon our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted

examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of October 31, 2000, by correspondence with the custodians and

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
LaCrosse Funds, Inc. as of October 31, 2000, and the results of its
operations for the year then ended, changes in net assets for the year then
ended and the period from inception to October 31, 1999, and the financial
highlights for the year then ended and the period from inception to October 31,
