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 FUND OVERVIEW AND
INTERVIEW WITH YOUR INVESTMENT
MANAGER enables you to gain
insight into the Fund's
investments and learn more
about the Fund manager's
strategies.
Because a picture or chart can help clarify the
text, the investment management team may have
illustrated the most important features of the Fund.
The illustrations may represent the portfolio
composition, the largest holdings or a
simplification of the investment adviser's
investment style.

The financial statements summarize and describe the Fund's financial
transactions. They are broken down into four different statements, which are
illustrated below:
The PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS lists each investment holding in the Fund as of the
date of the report. Investments may be grouped by category (by industry or
security type, for example). The percentage of the Fund's net assets represented
by these groupings is also disclosed.
TYPE OF SECURITY
INDUSTRY SECTOR AND PERCENTAGE OF THE FUND'S
NET ASSETS REPRESENTED BY INVESTMENTS IN THAT
SECTOR (IF APPLICABLE)
ACTUAL PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS WITH SHARES AND

The STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES lists all the assets and liabilities of
the Fund as of the date of the statement. This is an individual fund's "balance
sheet." Also disclosed in this statement are the Fund's net asset value per
share and its maximum offering price per share as of the date of the statement.
The statement also lists the accounts that comprise the Fund's
net assets (capital stock, undistributed
income, etc.).

FUND SHARE TRANSACTIONS: DOLLAR VALUE OF FUND
SHARES PURCHASED, REDEEMED OR REINVESTED
DURING THE PERIODS
The NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS are footnotes to the statements listed above.
These notes include information on accounting methods used by the Fund,
contractual arrangements between the Fund and its service providers, certain
transactions effected by the Fund and other general information about the Fund.
The FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS shows, for a single share outstanding throughout each
period presented, the net investment income, the realized and unrealized gains
and losses and the dividends and distributions of the Fund. It also shows key
data and ratios, such as the total investment return for each period, the
portfolio turnover rate for Funds other than money market mutual funds, the
ratio of expenses to average net assets and the ratio of net investment income
to average net assets.

ECONOMIC REVIEW
FROM THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
The Standard & Poor's Stock Index posted a total return of 26.18% during the 12
month period ended February 28, 1997, amply rewarding long-term investors who
rode out volatility early in the period.* The best performers were concentrated
among shares of large company stocks, which significantly outpaced shares of
smaller firms.
At the end of this period, however, the markets began to give serious
consideration to a possible tightening of monetary policy following Federal
Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's Humphrey-Hawkins testimony. Chairman
Greenspan's comments focused on current high levels of consumer confidence and
the potential for inflationary pressures to surface. His comments fueled renewed
volatility in the fixed-income markets, and the bellwether 30-year Treasury bond
ended the period with a 0.36% total return.**
THE CASE FOR
STOCKS AND BONDS
The stock market's gain raises some important issues. Late in the period, there
was considerable discussion concerning Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's
comments of "irrational exuberance" in his reflections on the state of the U.S.
equity markets. Other observers felt that investors should be optimistic based
on the healthy business climate in the U.S., the moderate economic policies of
the current administration and the focus in Washington on balanced budgets.
Overall, the U.S. economy seems poised for continued moderate growth, which is
good news for stocks. The stock market's current price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio
of 17.8 times our 1997 earnings estimates is within the 16 to 19 times range of
the 1960s when we had similar inflation levels. We think it is reasonable to
expect P/E ratios to stay at current levels. That gives an estimated market
return over the next 12 months of 10% (8% from earnings growth and 2% from
dividend yield).
Congress and the Clinton Administration continue to entertain the prospect of a
Balanced Budget Amendment, mandating the end of federal deficits within five to
seven years. While an agreement has not passed to date, this shift in attitude
bodes well for both stocks and bonds, as a balanced budget facilitates lower
interest rates, encouraging earnings growth.
POTENTIAL RISKS
Given the length of the current economic expansion, history tells us that the
bulls will run out of steam. Slowing economic growth is a double-edged sword as
lower corporate earnings lead to both a decline in prices and a reallocation of
savings. Companies with disappointing earnings may quickly fall into disfavor.
Broad equity indices may then decline as investors reallocate their assets into
more stable stocks.
The U.S. bond market and, indirectly, the U.S. equity market have benefited from
strong purchases of U.S. Treasuries by foreign investors. Supported by an
appreciating dollar, foreign purchases of U.S. Treasuries in 1996 were $265
billion compared to $118 billion in net sales by domestic investors (for four
quarters ended December 31, 1996).*** If the dollar should decline, there would
be less incentive to buy dollar denominated assets.
LOOKING FORWARD
In our view, investors should approach the remainder of 1997 with rational
exuberance tempered by a knowledge of history. Under the best case scenario, the
U.S. economy will see a move toward sustainable growth, higher real interest
rates and an anticipated 8% to 9% increase in corporate profits. Given these
projections, most investment professionals expect equities to perform well in
1997, although below 1996 levels. Bonds at this juncture seem attractive,
especially given the recommended revisions to real rates of inflation and the
trend toward a balanced federal budget.
8
<PAGE> 11
History, however, usually repeats itself, and we would not be surprised to see
some corrections ahead. Thus, investors may want to review their portfolios,
bearing in mind the importance of diversification in controlling risk. We see
the most value in equities characterized by growth at reasonable P/E multiples,
and find relative value in intermediate-term bonds, rather than long duration
plays. Investors seeking long-term growth after inflation and taxes should
remain biased toward stocks and positive on bonds.
Sincerely,

Q
HOW DID THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKETS AND THE FUNDS PERFORM DURING THE PAST 12
MONTHS?
A
STEVE SCHARRE: Municipal bonds performed slightly better than Treasuries as
Treasury yields rose more than municipal yields during the last 12 months. The
period began just as investors' fears of tax reform were beginning to fade, and
as the period ended, those fears had disappeared. For the 12 months ended
February 28, 1997, the Pacific Horizon National Municipal Bond Fund had a total
return of 5.66% (without the sales charge) for A Shares.* The Pacific Horizon
California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund returned 4.29% (without the sales charge) for A
Shares during the same time period.* That compares to 5.52% for the Funds'
benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index.** During the period, both
the Pacific Horizon National Municipal Bond and California Tax-Exempt Bond Funds
introduced K Shares, and total return for the 12 months ended February 28, 1997
for the National Municipal Bond Fund and California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund were
5.66% and 4.29%, respectively.***
Q
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUNDS' PERFORMANCE DURING THE 12 MONTHS ENDED
FEBRUARY 28, 1997?
A
STEVE SCHARRE: The fiscal year began with rates rising significantly as
stronger than anticipated economic data rattled the bond market in early 1996.
As we entered the summer, the economy continued to grow at a healthy pace and
yields remained at higher levels. Many investors were concerned that the economy
would soon overheat, and in response, the Federal Reserve would need to increase
short-term rates to slow the economy. During the third quarter, economic growth
slowed without a rate increase by the Federal Reserve, calming investors and
allowing yields to head lower until early December. By December, economic data
for the fourth quarter showed a reaccelerating economy, and that sent rates back
up.
The total return performance on fixed income securities primarily was a result
of income. Lower-rated bonds fared best as investors reached for yield, causing
yield spreads to narrow between bonds of different credit quality. This
condition was exacerbated by the increased prevalence of bond insurance in the
municipal bond market, which made it difficult to do relative value trades in
the municipal sector.
KIM MICHALSKI: The economic recovery in California translated into improved
market performance for California bondholders. The state has regained most of
the jobs lost during the recession. However, California's unemployment rate of
6.80% continues to exceed the 5.3% national average.****
Municipal yields ended the period only 15 to 30 basis points higher than they
began. However, interest rates traded within a fairly wide band as uncertainty
concerning the economy's strength caused investors to overreact to each economic
projection.
Q
HOW DID YOU MANAGE THE FUNDS IN THAT ENVIRONMENT?
A
STEVE SCHARRE: Trading in the National Municipal Bond Fund's portfolio was
dictated more on coupon and duration than by differences in yields between
sectors. For example, during the Fall of 1996, we expected yields to stay in a
fairly tight trading range. Thus, we purchased bonds that would perform well in
a low-volatility environment. Housing bonds, which provide relatively high
yields due to their uncertain call protection, perform well
11
<PAGE> 14
in that kind of market. For instance, we recently purchased Nevada Housing
Single Family Mortgage Bond, 6.25%, due in 2014 (3.4% of net assets as of
February 28, 1997).*****
We began the fiscal year neutral to the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index,
having shortened our average duration several months prior as yields had dropped
significantly during 1995. Duration, which measures a bond's price sensitivity
to interest rates, is a principal component of risk and return. Our decision to
shorten the duration proved beneficial as rates rose during the first half of
1996. We extended the average duration during May and June, as the higher rates
available appeared to be taking into account stronger economic growth. Interest
rates then declined during the Fall of 1996, at which point the portfolio was
brought back to neutral as the market returned to a valuation more in line with
our outlook.
KIM MICHALSKI: The ongoing market volatility often was too strong to take
advantage of in an appreciable manner. Early in the period, however, we extended
the California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund's duration, which was at the time shorter
than the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index and the Lipper California
universe.** This was done by selling bonds with short calls and purchasing bonds
in the 20-year range with 10-year call protection.
During the rest of the year, we maintained a duration-neutral strategy due to
the increased market volatility caused by uncertainty about the direction of
interest rates. A recent example of this strategy, which required us to replace
some longer-term issues with shorter-term issues, was the swap of California
Water Resources, 4.75%, due in 2025 (position sold on January 9, 1997) for the
purchase of Port of Oakland, 5.50%, due in 2015 (2.2% of net assets as of
February 28, 1997).*****
The portfolio's average maturity was 18.7 years at the beginning of the period
versus 17.9 years at the end of the period.***** That duration was neutral to
slightly short relative to the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index.**
Q
DID THE FUNDS' CREDIT QUALITY CHANGE OVER THE PERIOD?
A
STEVE SCHARRE: The average credit quality in the National Municipal Bond
Fund improved slightly during the period, as the Fund's investments in triple A
securities increased from 39% to 46%. This was accomplished by reducing the
Fund's exposure to single A credits as tight credit spreads offered little
additional return for the increased risk in those securities. The Fund's average
credit quality remains very high at double A.
KIM MICHALSKI: The California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund's average credit quality
remains double A. However, during the last period, we have increased the Fund's
holdings of triple B rated bonds from 4.5% to 12% of assets. By making this
adjustment, the Fund should be better positioned to take advantage of specific
securities we believe are cheap relative to their inherent values, and this
adjustment will bring the Fund's exposure to such securities in line with its
benchmark and its typical competitor.*****
Q
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE ECONOMY AND THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET FOR THE
YEAR AHEAD?
A
STEVE SCHARRE: The U.S. economy continues to grow at a moderate pace with
low inflation. The success of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy over the
last several years appears to have achieved a good balance which seeks to foster
a grow-
12
<PAGE> 15
ing economy. Due to the length of the current expansion, however, the labor
market has become increasingly tight. As a result, the possibility of an
increase in short-term rates by the Federal Reserve to slow the economy has
grown significantly.****** With this view, we cannot be overly aggressive with
longer-term maturities in the National Municipal Bond Fund, so we are continuing
to maintain a neutral stance relative to the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index.
We currently expect municipals to perform in line with taxable bonds this year.
Municipal-to-Treasury yield ratios are currently near historical averages, and
our current outlook for supply and demand forces within the municipal market
does not indicate that a major shift is likely.
KIM MICHALSKI: Cash flows into municipal bond funds have been relatively flat
during the past 12 months. Therefore, unless there is a significant pick up in
activity or a radical change in the market environment, the current structure of
the California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund's portfolio will not change dramatically.

* Return figures for the Fund include change in share price, reinvestment

reflect the maximum 4.50% front-end sales load, which applies to some
investors. Fund performance with the 4.50% maximum sales charge for the
National Municipal and the California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund was 0.89% and
-0.39% respectively, for the period. The Funds are currently waiving a
portion of the advisory, administrative and/or shareholder servicing fee.
This voluntary waiver may be modified or terminated at any time, which
would reduce the Fund's performance.

HOW PERFORMANCE COMPARES
The chart compares the Pacific Horizon
National Municipal Bond Fund to the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index,
which is an unmanaged index typically
used as a performance benchmark for
municipal debt investments.
As illustrated, the Fund tracked the
performance of other municipal debt
funds. The average of municipal debt
reported by Lipper Analytical
Services, Inc. measures the perform-
ance of other funds with investment objectives and policies similar to those of
the Pacific Horizon National Municipal Bond Fund. An initial $10,000 investment
in the Fund made on January 28, 1994, would now be worth $11,414 for A Shares.
The same investment made in the Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Average
would now be worth $11,270. Correspondingly, a $10,000 investment in K Shares
for the same period would now be worth $11,951.*

TAX-EXEMPT INCOME
A Monthly Opportunity
Compare the difference between the after-tax income from the two hypothetical
$100,000 investments illustrated. This hypothetical example assumes a 31 percent
tax bracket and does not represent actual performance of the Pacific Horizon
National Municipal Bond Fund.
A tax-exempt investment, despite a lower yield, can actually provide certain
investors with greater after-tax income than a taxable investment. Past
performance is not a guarantee of future results. Some investors may be subject
to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and to certain state and local
taxes. Any capital gain distributions from the Fund will be taxable. Consult
with your tax adviser.

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.

HOW PERFORMANCE COMPARES
The chart compares the Pacific Horizon
California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund to the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index,
which is an unmanaged index typically
used as a performance benchmark for
municipal debt investments.
As illustrated, the Fund tracked the
performance of other municipal debt
funds. The average of California
municipal debt funds reported by
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
measures
the performance of other funds with investment objectives and policies similar
to those of the Pacific Horizon California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund. An initial
$10,000 investment in the Fund for the ten year period commencing on February
28, 1987 would now be worth $17,847 for A Shares. The same investment made in
the Lipper California Municipal Bond Funds Average for the same time period
would now be worth $19,106. Correspondingly, the same $10,000 investment in K
Shares would now be worth $18,693.*
SEE INVESTMENT MANAGER INTERVIEW FOR FACTORS AFFECTING FUND PERFORMANCE.
Investment return and principal value are historical and will vary with market
conditions, so an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less
than their original cost. Return figures for the Fund include change in share
price, reinvestment of dividends, and capital gains distributions, if any, and
the effect of the maximum 4.50% sales charge.
*The inception date of the K Shares (the date K Shares were initially funded)
was July 22, 1996. The K Shares did not commence operations during the period
ended February 28, 1997. For this reason, the performance results for K Shares
are those of A Shares without the sales charge. The performance results for K
Shares included in the Financial Highlights table in the financial statements
represent actual performance from

The top federal
income tax rate is
39.6 percent and
there is a 10
percent surtax on
those with incomes
above $250,000. By
investing in the

benefit from
regular income that
is free from

chart to determine
what the

would have to be to match a tax-exempt yield. For example, in order to equal a 5
percent tax-exempt yield, a taxable investment would have to yield between 7.66%
and 9.13%, 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.

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 minimize risk while increasing
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
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION
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 February 28, 1997, the Company
operated as a series company comprised of seventeen funds. 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", individually the "Fund". The Funds offer A Shares and
effective July 22, 1996, began offering K Shares. A Shares have a Shareholder
Services Plan while K Shares have a Distribution Plan and Administrative and
Shareholder Services Plan.
The Funds seek to achieve a high 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.
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 the 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
Portfolio 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 Fund's investment
adviser. The BISYS Group, Inc. ("BISYS"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary
BISYS Fund Services, Limited Partnership, serves as the Funds' administrator.
Concord Financial Group, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary of BISYS, serves as the distributor of the Funds' shares. BISYS Fund
Services, Inc. ("BISYS Ohio"), also a wholly-owned subsidiary of BISYS, serves
as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of the Funds.
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.
38
<PAGE> 41
PORTFOLIO VALUATIONS:
The Funds value portfolio securities each business day through the use of an
independent pricing service approved by the Board of Directors. When, in the
judgement of the pricing service, quoted bid prices for portfolio securities are
readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market, these
investments are valued at the mean between quoted bid prices (as obtained by the
pricing service from dealers in such securities) and ask prices (as calculated
by the pricing service based upon its evaluation of the market for such
securities). Other investments are carried at fair value as determined by the
pricing service, through the use of electronic data processing techniques and
matrix systems. Restricted securities for which market quotations are not
readily available, if any, are valued at fair value using methods approved by
the Board of Directors. Securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME:
The Funds record security transactions on a trade date basis. Interest
income, including accretion of discount and amortization of premiums, is accrued
daily. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are recorded on an
identified cost basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis may be settled a month after the trade date.
EXPENSES:
The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations
of each fund. Direct expenses of a fund are charged to that fund while general
Company expenses are allocated among the Company's respective portfolios.
The investment income and expenses of a fund (other than class specific
expenses) and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments of a fund
are allocated to each class of shares based upon their relative net asset value
on the date income is earned or expenses and realized and unrealized gains and
losses are incurred.
The National Municipal Bond Fund incurred certain costs in connection with
its organization. Such costs have been deferred and are being amortized by the
Fund on a straight line basis over five years.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:
The Funds' net investment income is declared as a dividend daily, and paid
monthly, to shareholders of record at the close of business on record date. Net
realized gains on portfolio securities, if any, are distributed at least
annually. However, to the extent net realized gains of the Funds can be offset
by capital loss carryovers of the Funds, such gains will not be distributed.
Dividends and distributions are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend date.
39
<PAGE> 42
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.
As of February 28, 1997, the following reclassifications have been made to
increase (decrease) such accounts with offsetting adjustments made to paid-in
capital:
<TABLE>

<S> <C> <C>
National Municipal Bond Fund............................... $ 226 $ --
California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund............................ 188,743 (170,569)
</TABLE>
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
It is the Funds' policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
timely, all of its net investment company taxable income and net capital gains
to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Capital losses incurred after October 31, for the Funds are deemed to arise
on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The
National Municipal Bond Fund and California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund have incurred
and will elect to defer such capital losses of $4,041 and $6,976 after October
31, 1996, respectively.
OTHER:
The National Municipal Bond Fund and the California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund
maintain a cash balance with their custodian and receive a reduction of their
custody fees and expenses for the amount of interest earned on such uninvested
cash balances. For financial reporting purposes for the year ended February 28,
1997, custodian fees and expenses paid by third parties were increased by $1,459
and $2,157, respectively. There was no effect on net investment income. The
Funds could have invested such cash amounts in income producing assets if they
had not agreed to a reduction of fees or expenses under the expense offset
arrangement with their custodian.
40
<PAGE> 43
NOTE 3 -- AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Funds have an Investment Advisory Agreement with Bank of America, an
Administration Agreement with BISYS 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 daily net assets,
respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, BISYS 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 average daily net assets of the
National Municipal Bond Fund and California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, respectively.
Bank of America and BISYS voluntarily waived a portion of their respective fees.
The amount of such waivers totaled $49,131 and $28,040 for the National
Municipal Bond Fund and $244,720 and $183,837 for the California Tax-Exempt Bond
Fund, respectively. For the year ended February 28, 1997, BISYS reimbursed
$147,200 of operating expenses of the National Municipal Bond Fund.
For the year ended February 28, 1997, the Distributor advised the Funds that
it retained $21,986 and $45,746 from commissions earned on sales of the National
Municipal Bond Fund's and California Tax Exempt Bond Fund's shares, repectively.
For the same period, Bank of America and its affiliates advised the Funds that
they retained $180,834 and $542,086, respectively, from commissions earned on
sales of the National Municipal Bond Fund's and California Tax-Exempt Bond
Fund's shares, respectively.
The Funds have a Shareholder Services Plan (the "Plan") under which each
Fund pays for shareholder servicing expenses related to the Funds' shares. Under
the Plan, payments for shareholder servicing expenses may not exceed 0.25% of
each Fund's average daily net assets for A Shares. For the year ended February
28, 1997, the National Municipal Bond Fund and California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund
incurred charges of $35,033 and $535,750, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.
The Funds were advised that of these amounts, the Distributor retained $478 and
$205,096, from the National Municipal Bond Fund and California Tax-Exempt Bond
Fund, respectively, and affiliates of Bank of America retained $18,506 and
$303,684, 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 year ended February 28, 1997,
the Distributor waived $15,738 for the National Municipal Bond Fund.
The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan and an Administrative and
Shareholder Services Plan (the "Administrative 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 the distribution expenses may
not exceed 0.75% of the average daily net assets of each Fund's
41
<PAGE> 44
K Shares. Payments for distribution expenses under the Distribution Plan are
subject to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under 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%, 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 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.
BISYS Ohio serves the Funds as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent.
In these capacities, BISYS Ohio earned $12,254 and $108,551 from the National
Municipal Bond Fund and California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, respectively, for the
year ended February 28, 1997. For the period January 1, 1996 to December 31,
1996, BISYS Ohio agreed to voluntarily limit aggregate transfer agency fees.
Absent this voluntary limit the Funds would have incurred additional costs of
$8,274 and $29,438 for the National Municipal Bond Fund and California
Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, respectively.
For the year ended February 28, 1997, the National Municipal Bond Fund and
California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund incurred legal charges totaling $21,579 and
$11,612, respectively, which were earned by a law firm, a partner of which
serves as Secretary of the Company.
Certain officers of the Company are affiliated with BISYS. Such persons are
not paid directly by the Company for serving in these capacities.
NOTE 4 -- DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
Each Director of the Company is entitled to an annual retainer of $25,000,
plus $1,000 for each day the director participates in all or part of a Board or
Committee meeting, and the Chairman of each Committee receives a retainer of
$1,000 for services as Chairman of the Committee. In addition, the Company's
President is entitled to an annual salary of $20,000 for services as President.
The former President and Chairman of the Company received an additional $40,000
per year through February 28, 1997, in consideration of his years of service.
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
42
<PAGE> 45
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 pursuant to the
Retirement Plan amounted to $248 and $2,190 for the National Municipal Bond Fund
and California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, respectively, for the year ended February
28, 1997.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Board of Directors
and Shareholders of
Pacific Horizon Funds, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Pacific Horizon National Municipal
Bond Fund and Pacific Horizon California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund (two of the
portfolios constituting the Pacific Horizon Funds, Inc., hereafter referred to
as the "Funds") at February 28, 1997, the results of each of their operations
for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the
periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at
February 28, 1997 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.
