UNDERSTANDING YOUR SHAREHOLDER REPORT
As a mutual fund shareholder, you receive two financial reports a year that
contain important information about your investment. The financial statements
and financial highlights included in annual reports are audited by an
independent public accounting firm and cover the activity for the past fiscal
year. The independent public accountant provides an opinion letter in each
audited report. A semi-annual report is a six-month interim report that includes
financial statements that are generally not audited by an independent public
accounting firm.
This guide will help you extract the information from
the report.
The TABLE OF CONTENTS helps
you locate the information you
want.
The ECONOMIC REVIEW FROM THE
INVESTMENT ADVISER provides a
brief overview of the economy
and how it affects the
financial markets.
The INTERVIEW WITH YOUR
INVESTMENT MANAGER enables you
to gain insight into the
Fund's investments and learn
more about the Fund manager's
strategies.

ECONOMIC REVIEW
FROM THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
The financial markets were volatile during the six-month period ended August 31,
1996, due to uncertainty about the economy, interest rates and corporate
earnings. As the period began, strong corporate earnings encouraged investors to
expect higher stock prices. But during the summer investors were confronted with
relatively poor early announced earnings reports as compared to the same quarter
the previous year.
At the same time, there were signs that the economy was growing much faster than
expected. Some factors that restrained economic growth during the early part of
1996 were behind us -- in particular, the General Motors and Boeing strikes, the
government shutdown and bad weather -- and the economy grew at a surprisingly
strong rate of 4.7% during the second quarter. As a result, investors worried
that the Federal Reserve would increase short-term interest rates to slow growth
and keep a tight rein on inflation.
MIXED SIGNALS
IN THE MARKETS
Meanwhile, other economic indicators, including a high level of inventory
buildup and relatively weak retail sales figures, suggested that the economy
might be losing steam. The result: Stocks and bonds declined sharply in July,
but rebounded somewhat in August. For the period, the Standard & Poor's 500
Stock Index gained 2.96%. Also, the bellwether 30-year Treasury bond was down
5.12%.
The best-performing stock market sectors during the recent period were capital
goods and selected technology issues, both of which gained more than 13%. More
defensive sectors of the market also performed well. These included stocks in
the consumer staples sector and the financial services sector, where stocks
gained roughly 10% during the period.
We expect corporate earnings to grow at a rate of about 7% for 1996 -- slower
than the double-digit growth of last year, but still strong in absolute terms.
That said, profit growth at many firms will look modest compared to their gains
of a year ago. As a result, many companies may pre-announce any disappointing
third-quarter earnings expectations to prevent their stock prices from stumbling
too much when they announce the actual numbers.
Although inflation does not appear too threatening -- apart from some concerns
about rising wages -- we expect the Federal Reserve to debate the question of
whether to raise rates through year end. We expect the economy to slow down a
bit, returning to a more sustainable growth rate of around 2% to 2.5% as
calendar year 1996 nears its close. Some reasons for the projected slower growth
include increased corporate downsizing, rising consumer debt from credit cards
and loans, a general buildup of company inventories and some slower than
expected growth in overseas economics.
GOOD VALUES IN
SELECTED SECTORS
Looking ahead, we are slightly more bullish about stocks than bonds over the
next six months. Some specific equity sectors that we like include capital
goods, health care, and select areas of technology. We believe that all of these
sectors represent good value and have reasonable earnings outlooks over the next
six months.
Our fixed-income outlook is also positive. We believe the yield curve may
flatten, with short-term rates rising more than long-term rates.
Therefore, we expect our bond funds to take a barbell approach to investing,
with portfolios that concentrate heavily on both short- and long-term issues.
This will provide us the potential to pick up extra yield on both long- and
short-term bonds, while positioning the Funds to pick up some capital gains when
long-term rates ease. We will
8
<PAGE> 11
also emphasize high-quality, highly liquid fixed-income issues.
A wild card in the outlook for the financial markets is the Congressional and
Presidential elections in November. Most investors expect the Republican party
to remain in control of Congress. If they are proven wrong, we may see fiscal
policy changes that might lead to increased volatility in the markets.

Q
HOW DID THE MUNICIPAL MARKET AND THE FUNDS PERFORM DURING THE RECENT PERIOD?
A
STEVE SCHARRE: Yields on bonds rose as their prices fell during the period,
but municipal bond yields rose less than those of taxable bonds. In fact, the
ratio of municipal bond yields to Treasury yields fell from about 83% to 80%
during the period. Since rising yields on bonds typically accompany falling
prices, that means municipal bonds outperformed the taxable market during the
past six months.
The National Municipal Bond Fund's total return during the six months ended
August 31, 1996, was 0.41% and the California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund's total
return was -0.38%. (Both Funds' returns are for A Shares without deduction of
the maximum 4.50% front-end sales charge.) That compared to a return of 0.35%
for the Funds' benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, during the
period.*
Q
WHY DID MUNICIPAL BONDS OUTPERFORM TREASURIES AND OTHER TAXABLE BONDS?
A
STEVE SCHARRE: Politics. As we entered the period, investors still worried
about the Republican candidates' tax reform proposals, which included calls
for a flat tax. Such a tax would likely reduce the value of the tax break that
municipal bonds offer, causing prices in the tax-free sector to decline. But
such fears receded after Steve Forbes, the leading flat-tax proponent, left the
race and Bill Clinton moved far ahead of Bob Dole in the polls. As investors
stopped worrying about a flat tax, they put some money back to work in municipal
bonds, which helped support the bonds' prices.
KIM MICHALSKI: The tax-exempt market also benefited from the low volume of new
issues, especially in California. This situation generated more demand for
existing municipal bonds, offering some support for their prices. In addition,
California's economic recovery generated strong demand from institutional
investors for the state's tax-exempt issues.
Q
WHAT CAUSED THE LOW SUPPLY OF NEW CALIFORNIA BONDS?
A
KIM MICHALSKI: During 1994 and 1995, many municipalities issued new bonds to
take advantage of low interest rates and pay off their old high-rate bonds. In
fact, such refunding accounted for 30% to 40% of new issues. There have been

<PAGE> 14
fewer refundings in this higher-rate environment. In addition, many California
municipalities and agencies held back on issuing new bonds. They worried that
investors would demand high yields in the wake of the Orange County
bankruptcy -- although those fears have abated.
Q
ARE MUNICIPAL BONDS ATTRACTIVE NOW COMPARED TO THE TAXABLE SECTOR?
A
STEVE SCHARRE: Right now, the differences between yields of municipal and
taxable bonds of comparable maturities are about average based on historical
figures. This suggests that municipal bonds offer fair value versus corporate
bonds and U.S. Government bonds.
Q
HOW DID YOU MANAGE THE FUNDS IN THIS ENVIRONMENT?
A
STEVE SCHARRE: After being relatively long during 1995, the National
Municipal Bond Fund's average maturity was shortened last December. We then
maintained an average maturity relatively close to that of the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index through April. The decision to shorten the Fund's average
maturity was a significant factor in improving the Fund's results as rates rose
sharply in the spring, thus helping protect profits earned last year. In May, we
extended the Fund's average maturity somewhat because bonds seemed to offer
better value in the wake of significant price declines. Since then, interest
rates have been volatile, but without any sustained trend in either direction.
KIM MICHALSKI: The California Tax-Exempt Fund had maintained a somewhat lower
average maturity and duration -- a measure of its price sensitivity to
interest-rate changes -- than its benchmark index. That caused it to
under-perform during periods of rising bond prices. (Conversely, a higher
average maturity or duration fund tends to outperform the market when prices
fall.) We acted to bring the Fund's duration to a more neutral position; that
is, more in line with its competitive market index. For example, we reduced the
Fund's position in bonds subject to short-term calls, which can be redeemed
early by the issuer. We purchased issues that are non-callable or have 10-year
call protection.
Q
WHAT OPPORTUNITIES DID YOU FIND FOR THE NATIONAL MUNICIPAL BOND FUND IN
DIFFERENT REGIONS AND SECTORS OF THE TAX-EXEMPT MARKET?
A
STEVE SCHARRE: In general, interest rates drove prices more than any
differences between regions. However, California bonds did well, as the state's
economy recovered and Orange County emerged from bankruptcy. Such bonds
accounted for about 10% of the portfolio. We also owned issues of several
utilities that we expect to benefit from deregulation. Among them: Jacksonville
Electric and Northern Municipal Power of Minnesota. Their prices held up
well -- even though electric utilities as a group were poor performers due to
fears of increased competition.**
Q
HOW DID YOU MANAGE THE CREDIT QUALITY OF THE SECURITIES IN THE FUNDS?
A
STEVE SCHARRE: In the National Municipal Bond Fund, the credit quality
stayed fairly constant, at around AA- on average. When interest rates climbed,
we temporarily became more defensive by increasing our investment in insured and
other AAA-rated issues. When we extended the Fund's maturity in May, we sold the
insured bonds. We continued to emphasize revenue bonds, which typically pay
higher yields than general obligation bonds (GOs). Although revenue bonds
generally are considered riskier than GOs, we emphasize
12
<PAGE> 15
bonds backed by revenues from essential services such as water or
transportation. Such bonds often can rely on consistent revenues even when the
economy is flat or slowing down, whereas the taxing power of
GOs can be strongly affected by economic conditions. For example, we recently
purchased Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority revenue bonds with a coupon
of 5.375%, due 2016 and rated A+ by Standard & Poor's.**
KIM MICHALSKI: We maintained a high-quality portfolio of securities in the
California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, with an average credit quality of AA. In fact,
77% of the Fund's holdings were invested in bonds rated AA or better.**
Recently, single-A bonds have been yielding only about two-tenths of a
percentage point more than AAA-insured issues -- not enough to take on the
additional credit risk in the lower-quality issues.
Q
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MARKET AND YOUR CURRENT
STRATEGY FOR THE CALIFORNIA TAX-EXEMPT BOND FUND?
A
KIM MICHALSKI: Municipals have become more expensive relative to taxable
bonds. However, it seems likely that low supply and continued high demand will
help the tax-exempt market keep pace with or outperform taxable securities of
comparable quality and maturity. That said, it is difficult to say how the
fixed-income markets as a whole will perform. This depends largely on whether
the economy continues to grow at a strong pace, causing interest rates to rise.
For now, it seems likely that the Federal Reserve Board will act to increase
short-term interest rates by the end of 1996. In that environment, we would
focus on finding the best values in the California municipal market. Right now,
bonds that mature in 10 to 15 years offer the best trade-off between risk and
potential reward. They are paying 90% to 95% of the yields on 30-year issues,
which are much more risky. We'll look for those intermediate-term issues in a
variety of sectors.
Q
STEVE: WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY GOING FORWARD?
A
STEVE SCHARRE: As Kim said, there is some risk that the economy will
continue to grow more rapidly, causing inflation to rise slightly, while pushing
bond prices lower. If that happens, we'd like to be in a position to take
advantage of higher rates by extending the National Municipal Bond Fund's
maturity. But for now, we plan to maintain a somewhat cautious approach. In
fact, we have been letting some cash accumulate in the Fund to bring down the
average maturity of the Fund in anticipation of a possible Fed tightening.

performance is not a guarantee of future results. Some investors may be subject
to the federal alternative minimum tax and to certain state and local taxes. Any
capital gain distributions from the Fund will be taxable. Consult with your tax
adviser.

TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD
The Bottom Line
Today's higher federal tax
rates make tax-exempt income
more attractive. This chart
enables you to determine what
the yield on a taxable
investment would have to be
to match a hypothetical tax-
exempt yield.* For example,
in order to equal a 5%
tax-exempt yield, a taxable
investment would have to
yield between 6.94% and
8.28%, depending on your
federal tax bracket. The
higher your tax bracket, the
better the potential
after-tax result of investing
in a tax-exempt fund. The
Pacific Horizon National
Municipal Bond Fund seeks to
provide a high level of
current income free from
federal income tax,
consistent with prudent
investment management and
preservation of capital.

percent and 7.72 percent, depending on your combined federal and state tax
brackets. The higher your tax bracket, the better the potential after-tax result
of investing in a tax-exempt fund.

* The composition of the Fund's holdings is subject to change.
The Pacific Horizon California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund invests primarily in
investment-grade municipal securities that are rated in the four highest
categories by an independent rating agency such as Standard & Poor's or nonrated
securities deemed by the Fund's adviser to be of comparable quality. By
maintaining high standards, the Fund seeks to reduce risk while attempting to
maximize yield, offering an investor the opportunity for capital preservation as
well as consistent monthly dividends. Tax-exempt bond funds invest in securities
issued by states, local municipalities and governments, whose financial
condition will affect the value of their securities.

PACIFIC HORIZON FUNDS, INC.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 -- GENERAL
Pacific Horizon Funds, Inc. (The "Company"), a Maryland Corporation, is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as
an open-end management investment company. At August 31, 1996, the Company
operated as a series company comprised of seventeen portfolios. The accompanying
financial statements and notes are those of the Pacific Horizon National
Municipal Bond Fund (the "National Municipal Bond Fund") and the Pacific Horizon
California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund (the "California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund")
(collectively, the "Funds") only. The Funds seek to achieve as high a level of
current income exempt from federal income tax, and in the case of the California
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund exempt from California state personal income tax as well,
as is consistent with prudent investment management and preservation of capital.
The Funds offer two classes of shares: A Shares and K Shares.
Prior to July 1, 1996 the National Municipal Bond Fund sought to achieve its
investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the
National Municipal Bond Portfolio of Master Investment Trust, Series II (the
"Portfolio"), an open-end management investment company that had the same
investment objective as that of the National Municipal Bond Fund.
Effective July 1, 1996, the National Municipal Bond Fund withdrew its
investment in the Master Investment Trust, Series II and began investing its
assets directly in investment securities.
Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association ("Bank of America"),
a subsidiary of BankAmerica Corporation, serves as the Funds' investment
adviser. Concord Holding Corporation ("Concord") serves as the Funds'
administrator and Concord Financial Group, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Concord, serves as the distributor of the Funds' Shares.
Effective March 29, 1995, Concord became a wholly owned subsidiary of The BISYS
Group, Inc. ("BISYS").
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of
financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
A) SECURITIES VALUATIONS:
The Funds' securities (other than debt securities with remaining maturities
of 60 days or less) are valued each business day by the independent pricing
service approved by the Board of Directors. Such prices reflect market values
which have
32
<PAGE> 35
been established through the use of electronic data processing techniques and
matrix systems.
Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method
involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase or, in the case
of securities purchased with more than 60 days to maturity, at their market
value each day until the 61st day prior to maturity, and thereafter assuming a
constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount
due at maturity and such valuation.
B) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME:
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income,
including amortization of premiums and accretion of discount where required by
the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), is accrued daily. Realized gains and
losses from securities transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis.
Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be
settled a month or after the trade date.
C) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS:
Dividends are declared daily to shareholders of record from net investment
income. Such dividends are paid monthly. Net realized gains on the Funds'
securities, if any, are distributed at least annually. However, to the extent
net realized gains of any Fund can be offset by capital loss carryovers of that
Fund, such gains will not be distributed. Dividends and distributions are
recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend date.
The amount of dividends from net investment income and of distributions from
net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in
nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts
are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal
tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Dividends and distributions to shareholders which exceed net investment income
and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not for tax
purposes are reported as dividends in excess of net investment income or
distributions in excess of net realized gains. To the extent they exceed net
investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as
distributions of capital.
D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
It is the policy of the Funds to meet the requirements of Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal
income tax provision is required.
During the year ended February 29, 1996 the National Municipal Bond Fund and
California Tax-Exempt Fund utilized their net capital loss carryovers of $3,632
and $2,188,950, respectively.

E) OTHER:
The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations
of each Fund. Expenses directly attributable to the Funds are charged to the
respective Fund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one fund of
the Company are allocated among the respective funds.
NOTE 3 -- AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Funds have an Investment Advisory Agreement with Bank of America, an
Administration Agreement with Concord and a Distribution Agreement with the
Distributor. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, Bank of
America is entitled to a fee from the Funds, which is accrued daily and payable
monthly, at an annual rate of 0.35% and 0.40% of the National Municipal Bond
Fund's and California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund's average net assets, respectively.
Pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, Concord is entitled to a
fee from the Funds, which is accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual
rate of 0.20% and 0.30%, of the National Municipal Bond Fund's and California
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund's average net assets, respectively. Bank of America and
Concord voluntarily waived a portion of their respective fees. The amount of
such waivers totaled $22,890 and $13,044 for the National Municipal Bond Fund
and $121,924 and $91,738 for the California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, respectively.
The Investment Advisory and Administration agreements provide that if, in
any fiscal year, the operating expenses of each Fund (generally excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) exceed the
most restrictive expense limitation of any state having jurisdiction over the
Funds, then Bank of America and Concord will reimburse the Funds for any such
excess expenses. At August 31, 1996, the most restrictive expense limitation is
believed to limit expenses to 2.5% of the first $30 million of each Fund's
average daily net assets, plus 2.0% of the next $70 million of such assets, plus
1.5% of such assets in excess of $100 million. These agreements provide that
such reimbursements will be estimated and paid on a monthly basis. No
reimbursement were required for the six months ended August 31, 1996.
For the six months ended August 31, 1996, the Distributor advised the
National Municipal Bond Fund and the California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund that it
retained $10,235 and $21,385, respectively, from commissions earned on sales of
each Fund's shares. For the same period, various affiliates of Bank of America
advised the National Municipal Bond Fund and the California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund
that they retained $84,835 and $286,885, respectively, from commissions earned
on sales of each Fund's shares.
The Funds have a Shareholder Service Plan (the "Plan") under which the Funds
pay for shareholder servicing expenses related to Fund shares. Under the Plan,
payments by the Funds for shareholder servicing expenses may not exceed 0.25%
(annualized) of the A Shares of each Fund's average daily net assets. For the
six months ended August 31, 1996, the National Municipal Bond Fund and the
California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund
34
<PAGE> 37
incurred charges of $16,290 and $267,131, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.
The the National Municipal Bond Fund and the California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund
were advised that of these amounts, the Distributor retained $427 and $104,382,
respectively, and affiliates of the Bank of America retained $15,645 and
$150,021, respectively. The Plan provides that if, in any month, the fees paid
to the Distributor are less than the costs incurred by the Distributor, the
excess costs will be included in future computations of the fee, provided that
any excess costs will not be carried forward beyond the end of the fiscal year
in which such excess costs were incurred. For the six months ended August 31,
1996, the Distributor waived no fees. The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan
and an Administrative and Shareholder Services Plan with respect to K Shares of
the Funds. Under the Distribution Plan the Funds pay the Distributor for
expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of the Funds' K Shares. Under
the Distribution Plan, payments by the Funds for distribution expenses may not
exceed 0.75% (annualized) of the average daily net assets of each Fund's K
Shares. Payments for distribution expenses under the Distribution Plan are
subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the Administrative and Shareholder
Services Plan (the "Administrative Plan"), the Funds pay for expenses incurred
in connection with shareholder services provided by the Distributor and payments
to Service Organizations for the provision of support services with respect to
beneficial owners of K Shares. Under the Administrative Plan, payments for
shareholder services and administrative services may not exceed 0.25% and 0.75%
(annualized), respectively, of the average daily net assets of each Fund's K
Shares. The total of all payments under the Distribution Plan and the
Administrative and Shareholder Services Plan may not exceed, in the aggregate,
the annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of each Fund's K
Shares.
Effective December 11, 1995, BISYS Fund Services, also a wholly owned
subsidiary of BISYS, serves the Company as transfer agent and dividend
disbursing agent. In this capacity for the National Municipal Bond Fund and the
California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, BISYS Fund Services earned $6,350 and $64,382,
respectively, for the six months ended August 31, 1996. Prior to December 11,
1995, an unaffiliated party provided those services.
For the six months ended August 31, 1996, the National Municipal Bond Fund
and the California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund incurred legal charges totaling $20,044
and $5,820, respectively, which were earned by a law firm, a partner which
serves as Secretary of the company. Certain officers of the Company are
"affiliated persons" (as defined in the Act) of Concord.
NOTE 4 -- DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
Each Director of the Company is entitled to an annual retainer of $25,000

of $20,000 for services as President. The former President and Chairman of the
Company receives an additional $40,000 per year through February 28, 1997 in
consideration for his years of service. Total charges for directors' fees
incurred for the six months ended August 31, 1996 by the National Municipal Bond
Fund and the California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund were $12,919 and $2,874,
respectively.
The Board has also established a retirement plan (the "Retirement Plan") for
the Directors. The Retirement Plan provides that each Director who dies or
resigns after five years of service as a director will be entitled to receive
ten annual payments each equal to the greater of: (i) 50% of the annual
Director's retainer that was payable during the year of that Director's death or
resignation, or (ii) 50% of the annual Director's retainer then in effect for
Directors of the Company during the year of such payment. A Director who dies or
resigns after nine years of service as a director will be entitled to receive
ten annual payments equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the annual Director's
retainer that was payable during the year of that Director's death or
resignation, or (ii) 100% of the annual Director's retainer then in effect for
Directors of the Company during the year of such payment. In addition, the
amount payable each year to a Director who dies or resigns shall be increased by
$1,000 for each year of service that the Director served as Chairman of the
Board. Each Director may receive any benefits payable under the Retirement Plan,
at his or her election, either in one lump sum payment or ten annual
installments. A Director's years of service for the purpose of calculating the
payments described above shall be based upon service as a Director or Chairman
after February 28, 1994. Aggregate costs to the National Municipal Bond Fund and
the California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund pursuant to the Retirement Plan amounted to
$67 and $1,104, respectively, for the six months ended August 31, 1996.
