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.

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.).

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> 10
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.

Q
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUNDS' PERFORMANCE DURING THE 12 MONTHS ENDED
FEBRUARY 28, 1997?
A
Over the last 12 months, the economy continued to grow, further extending
the current economic expansion, while inflation, especially for this stage of
the business cycle, remained quite tame. There had been fear of resurgent
inflation causing interest rates to rise across the yield curve. During the
year, interest rates rose .20% in three month Treasury Bills, .68% in three year
Treasury Notes, and .33% in the 30 year Bond, causing the yield curve to steepen
in the front end, and flatten in intermediate and longer maturities.*
Interest rates rose sharply in March and April of 1996, then traded in a
relatively tight trading range for the remainder of the period ended February
28, 1997. This period was also marked by gradual tightening in the mortgage and
corporate sectors. As measured by the Lehman family of indices,** the mortgage
sector had the best total return for the year with 6.58%, followed by both
corporate bonds and asset-backed bonds at 5.71%, agencies at 5.30% and
treasuries at 4.42%.**
A notable adjustment to the mortgage index was the tiering of coupons by age, or
seasoning. In July, a number of rating agencies began to price seasoned
mortgages differently than newly-issued mortgages. The theory is that seasoned
mortgages, having been through previous prepayment cycles, will have a more
stable prepayment profile, and would therefore justify a higher dollar price
than their newly originated counterparts.
Within the corporate sector, utilities led the way with a total return of 6.00%
followed by industrials at 5.83%, Yankee Bonds at 5.68% and finance at 5.36%.
(Yankee Bonds, which are registered bonds issued in the U.S. by foreign
governments, banks and institutions, tend to pay higher interest than other
bonds of comparable credit quality when market conditions are better in the U.S.
than abroad.) On a duration adjusted basis, however, the finance sector had the
best performance at 6.57% compared to utilities at 6.22% and both industrials
and Yankee Bonds at 5.83%.**
11
<PAGE> 13
Q
WHAT WERE THE FUNDS' RETURNS IN THAT ENVIRONMENT?
A
The U.S. Government Securities Fund invests primarily in mortgages, which
had the best total return of the year among the major sectors of the fixed
income market. The Fund posted a 5.23%*** (without the sales charge) return for
A Shares during the 12 months ended February 28, 1997, compared to a 6.58%
return for the Fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers GNMA Index.** During the
period, the Funds introduced K Shares, which are primarily offered to Daily
Advantage 401(k) plan participants, although they are also available to certain
other eligible individuals, as outlined in the prospectus. For the year ended
February 28, 1997, K Shares returned 4.57%.****
The Pacific Horizon Corporate Bond Fund Class A shares returned 4.13%***
(without the sales charge), for the year ended February 28, 1997, and K Shares
returned 4.03%,**** compared to 5.71%** for the Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond
Index. During the year, we moved from a more aggressive stance to one that was
moderately defensive. The change was somewhat premature, as lower-quality,
longer-maturity corporate bonds were the strongest performers in the sector
during the year. For example, the Fund's investment in Tele-Communications,
Inc., a 9.88% issue due in June 2022 (4.7% of net assets as of February 28,
1997), which came under increasing pressure, was an additional factor in the
Fund's under-performance relative to its benchmark.*****
By virtue of its relatively short maturity and higher credit quality holdings,
the Intermediate Bond Fund underperformed the Fund's benchmark on a total return
basis, posting a return of 3.92% (without the sales charge) for A Shares, during
the 12 months ended February 28, 1997.*** For the year ended February 28, 1997,
K Shares gained 3.80%.**** The Fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Inter-
mediate Government /Corporate Index returned 5.00% for the same period.**
Q
HOW DID YOU STRUCTURE THE FUNDS' DURATIONS?
A
The Pacific Horizon Funds seek to use a duration-neutral philosophy. Since
duration, a measure of a bonds price sensitivity to changes in interest rates,
is the principal component of both risk and return, we seek to deliver returns
consistent with the returns of the appropriate benchmark by maintaining the
duration of the fund close to that of the benchmark. We then attempt to add
value by applying our relative value methodology to sector allocation, yield
curve positioning and security selection as appropriate for each fund. Our
relative value methodology strategy enables us to compare and select
opportunities that represent some of the best values from the universe of
available issues in the market.
Q
WHAT OPPORTUNITIES DID YOU FIND TO ADD VALUE THROUGH SECTOR ALLOCATION IN
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES, INTERMEDIATE BOND AND CORPORATE BOND FUNDS?
A
The Pacific Horizon Intermediate Bond Fund is managed against the Lehman
Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Index and the Corporate Bond Fund is
managed against the Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index. Since neither index
includes mortgages, the primary opportunity to add value in these funds is in
the corporate sector.**
As the period began, spreads in the corporate sector were trading at
historically tight levels, the credit curve was flat and quality spreads were
tight. The credit curve is a measure of the incremental spread for extending
maturities in the same credit. Quality spreads are a measure of the incre-
12
<PAGE> 14
mental spread for accepting lower-rated credits.
The Fund predominantly held corporate debt obligations, and was overweighted to
the finance sector and underweighted to the utility sector due to litigation at
that time involving deregulation uncertainties. We positioned the Fund this way
because of the positive fundamentals of the finance sector. Our decision to
overweight our holdings in finance proved beneficial. Utilities also performed
quite well as the regulatory environment became much more favorable.*****
In light of the historic tightness at the beginning of the period, we moved from
a more aggressive stance to one that is moderately defensive. In hind sight,
this change was somewhat premature as lower quality, longer maturity corporate
bonds were the strongest performers over the past year, and our performance
lagged. We continue to believe, however, that our defensive strategy should
ultimately prove to be correct. If spreads continue to tighten, we will likely
underperform marginally. Conversely, if spreads do widen, our performance should
be considerably better.
The U.S. Government Securities Fund is managed against the Lehman Brothers GNMA
Index** and therefore invests primarily in securities issued by the Government
National Mortgage Association and the U.S. Treasury. With the economy slowing
sharply in late 1995 and early 1996, the Federal Reserve having recently eased
interest rates, and the perception that further declines in rates were
forthcoming, the portfolio was structured to take advantage of a slowing economy
and falling interest rates. As such, we were underweighted in the mortgage
sector.
Reflecting our forecast of lower interest rates, we had nearly a 30% exposure to
treasuries as a defensive position against the mortgage spread widening and
increased prepayment risk*****. As evidence of steady economic strength
continued to mount, and interest rates settled into a trading range, we
increased our allocation to mortgages. Currently, we are nearly 100% invested in
mortgages*****. With the index including seasoned securities, we too, have
focused on this sector using primarily current coupon and moderate premiums.
This strategy should perform very well in the range-bound environment that we
are forecasting--an environment where interest rates are trading within a
tighter range.
Q
WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE BOND MARKET AND THE FUNDS?
A
Currently, we are forecasting an economy that continues to grow at or near
the non-inflationary growth rate of 2.0-2.5% and a continuing, stable inflation
environment. With the current tightness in the labor market pointing to an
increased probability of rekindled inflation, and the recent comments from the
Federal Reserve, we would not be surprised to see the Federal Reserve raise
interest rates in the near future.******
We do not, however, see rates moving dramatically higher. We continue to believe
that interest rates will trade within a relatively tight range, and feel that we
are currently in the middle of that range. We will continue to manage the
portfolio within the context of our duration-neutral strategy, but with a
marginally more defensive bias in the near term.

*** Return figures for the Fund include change in share price, reinvestment
of dividends and capital gain distributions. Performance figures do not
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
U.S. Government Securities, Corporate Bond and Intermediate Bond Fund was
0.54%, -0.56% and -0.76% 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.
**** 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 until
November 20, 1996 for the Funds. For this reason, the performance results
for K Shares are those of A Shares without the sales charge for the
period from March 1, 1996 through November 19, 1996 combined with actual
K Share performance from November 20, 1996 through February 28, 1997. The
performance results for K Shares included in the Financial Highlights
table in the financial statements represent actual performance from the
inception date of the K Shares.
***** Percentage figures shown are as of February 28, 1997. The composition of
the Fund's holdings is subject to change.
****** Note: This move occurred in late March of 1997, subsequent to the close
of the Fund year.
Total return for the Pacific Horizon Corporate Bond Fund from 1984 through April
25, 1994 reflects performance of the predecessor fund, Bunker Hill Income
Securities, Inc., a closed-end fund. Total return of the closed-end fund is
calculated assuming a purchase of common stock at market value on the opening of
the first day of each period reported. Total return for the closed-end fund does
not reflect brokerage commissions. The annual operating expenses of the
predecessor fund were less than the current operating expenses of the Pacific
Horizon Corporate Bond Fund. Had current expenses been reflected in the
predecessor fund's performance, such performance would have been reduced.

HOW PERFORMANCE COMPARES
We have changed the Fund's benchmark
index from the Lehman Brothers
Mortgage-Backed Index to the Lehman
Brothers GNMA Index which more closely
resembles the composition of the Fund
and, we believe, is a more appropriate
benchmark for the Fund's holdings. In
order to complete the transition to
the new benchmark, we are providing a
hypothetical comparison of the Fund's
performance since January 7, 1988 with
both its former benchmark and its new
benchmark, the Lehman Brothers GNMA
Index. Both the Lehman
Brothers Mortgage-Backed Index and the Lehman Brothers GNMA Index are unmanaged
indices, which are typically used as performance benchmarks for mortgage-backed
investments.
As illustrated, the Fund tracked the performance of other GNMA funds. The
average of GNMA 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 U.S Government Securities Fund. An initial $10,000
investment in the Fund made on January 7, 1988 would now be worth $19,365 for A
Shares. The same investment made in the Lipper GNMA Funds Average would now be
worth $20,096. Correspondingly, a $10,000 investment in K Shares for the same
period would now be worth $20,150*.

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.

*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 until November 20,
1996. For this reason, the performance results for K Shares are those of A
Shares without the sales charge for the period from March 1, 1996 through
November 19, 1996 combined with actual K Share performance from November 20,
1996 through February 28, 1997. The performance results for K Shares included in
the Financial Highlights table in the financial statements represent actual
performance from the inception date of the K Shares. K Shares, unlike A Shares
are sold without a front-end sales load but have an ongoing .75% distribution or
administrative services fee (of which .25% are currently being waived), which
would have reduced prior performance.
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. is an independent mutual fund-monitoring
organization. Neither the Lipper GNMA Funds Average, the Lehman Brothers
Mortgage-Backed Index, nor the Lehman Brothers GNMA Index may be invested in
directly. The hypothetical investments in the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed
and GNMA indices do not reflect any sales or management fees that would be
incurred if an investor were to actually purchase individual securities or
mutual funds, while the performance of the Fund reflects all expenses and
management fees and the effect of the maximum sales charge.
QUALITY
Investing Only in U.S.
Government-Backed Securities
The Pacific Horizon U.S. Government
Securities Fund maintains at least a
65% position in GNMA securities and
may invest in other types of
high-quality government-backed
securities. The flexibility to
invest in different types of
securities can help to increase
performance, while diversification
can help to reduce risk. By
investing only in high-quality
government-backed securities, the
Fund may provide the anchor for an
investor's long-range strategy.

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 U.S. Government
Securities Fund (the "U.S. Government Securities Fund"), the Pacific Horizon
Corporate Bond Fund (the "Corporate Bond Fund") and the Pacific Horizon
Intermediate Bond Fund (the "Intermediate 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 U.S. Government Securities Fund seeks to provide investors with a high
level of current income, consistent with preservation of capital. The U.S.
Government Securities Fund does so by investing primarily in instruments issued
by the Government National Mortgage Association. The Corporate Bond Fund seeks
to provide investors with high current income consistent with reasonable
investment risk. The Corporate Bond Fund invests primarily in a diversified
portfolio of investment grade corporate debt securities. The Intermediate Bond
Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of
its assets in the Investment Grade Bond Portfolio (the "Portfolio") of the
Master Investment Trust, Series I (the "Trust"), an open-end management
investment company, that has the same investment objectives as that of the Fund.
The value of the Intermediate Bond Fund's investment in the Portfolio included
in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects the
Intermediate Bond Fund's proportionate beneficial interest in the net assets of
the Portfolio (16.7% at February 28, 1997). The financial statements of the
Portfolio, including its portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere within
this report and should be read in conjunction with the Intermediate Bond Fund's
financial statements.
Prior to September 1, 1996, the Corporate Bond Fund sought to achieve its
investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the
Corporate Bond Portfolio of the Trust, which had the same investment objective
as that of the Fund. Effective September 1, 1996, the Fund withdrew its
investment in the Corporate Bond 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 U.S. Government
Securities Fund and the Corporate Bond Fund's investment adviser. The BISYS
Group, Inc. ("BISYS"), through
35
<PAGE> 37
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 its 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.
PORTFOLIO VALUATIONS:
The U.S. Government Securities Fund and the Corporate Bond Fund value
portfolio securities (other than debt securities with remaining maturities of 60
days or less) at the last reported sales price on the securities exchange on
which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the
NASDAQ National Securities Market. Securities not listed on an exchange or the
NASDAQ National Securities Market or securities for which there were no
transactions are valued at the mean between the current quoted bid and ask
prices on the date of valuation. Bid price is used when no ask price is
available. The Funds may also use an independent pricing service, approved by
the Board of Directors, to value certain of their securities. Such prices
reflect market values which may be established through the use of electronic
data processing techniques and matrix systems. Restricted securities and
securities for which market quotations are not readily available, if any, are
valued at fair value using methods approved by the Board of Directors. Debt
securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost.
The valuation of securities of the Intermediate Bond Fund's investment in
the Portfolio is discussed in Note 2 to the Portfolio's financial statements.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME:
The U.S. Government Securities Fund and Corporate Bond Fund record security
transactions on a trade date basis. Interest income, including accretion of
discount and amortization of premium, is accrued daily. Dividend income is
recognized on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from security
transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.
The Intermediate Bond Fund records its share of the investment income,
expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded by the Portfolio
on a daily basis. The investment income, expenses and realized and unrealized
gains and losses are allocated daily
36
<PAGE> 38
to investors in the Portfolio based upon the value of their investments in the
Portfolio. Such investments are adjusted on a daily basis.
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 Intermediate Bond Fund incurred certain costs in connection with its
organization. Such costs have been deferred and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over five years.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:
The Funds' net investment income is declared daily and paid monthly as a
dividend 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 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.
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:

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.
At February 28, 1997, the U.S. Government Securities Fund, the Corporate
Bond Fund and the Intermediate Bond Fund had the following net capital loss
carryovers:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
To the extent that these carryovers are used to offset future capital gains,
it is probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.
During the year the Corporate Bond Fund utilized $89,829 of its available
capital loss carryover to offset realized capital gains for federal income tax
purposes, while capital loss carryovers of $738,058 expired.
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
Corporate Bond Fund has incurred and will elect to defer such capital losses of
$26,252 after October 31, 1996.

OTHER:
The U.S. Government Securities Fund maintains a cash balance with its
custodian and receives a reduction of its 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 $15,267. There was no effect on
net investment income. The Fund could have invested such cash amounts in an
income producing asset if it had not agreed to a reduction of fees or expenses
under the expense offset arrangement with its custodian.
NOTE 3 -- AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The U.S. Government Securities Fund and Corporate Bond Fund have an
Investment Advisory Agreement with Bank of America and the Funds have 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 U.S. Government Securities Fund and
Corporate Bond Fund, which is accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual
rate of 0.35% and 0.45% of the U.S. Government Securities Fund's and Corporate
Bond Fund's respective average daily net assets. For the year ended February 28,
1997, Bank of America agreed to waive $134,763 and $129,971 for the U.S.
Government Securities Fund and Corporate Bond Fund, respectively. Pursuant to
the terms of the Administration Agreement, BISYS is entitled to a fee, which is
accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.20%, 0.15% and 0.15%
of the average daily net assets of the U.S. Government Securities Fund,
Corporate Bond Fund, and Intermediate Bond Fund, respectively. For the year
ended February 28, 1997, BISYS agreed to waive $77,220, $56,709 and $24,165 of
its fee as Administrator for the U.S. Government Securities Fund, Corporate Bond
Fund and Intermediate Bond Fund, respectively. For the same period, Bank of
America and BISYS reimbursed $93,097, $297 and $146,716 of operating expenses of
the U.S. Government Securities Fund, Corporate Bond Fund and Intermediate Bond
Fund, respectively.
For the year ended February 28, 1997, the Distributor advised the Funds that
it retained $19,990, $11,522, and $10,026, respectively, from commissions earned
on sales of the U.S. Government Securities Fund, the Corporate Bond Fund and the

<PAGE> 41
1997, the U.S. Government Securities Fund, Corporate Bond Fund, and Intermediate
Bond Fund incurred charges of $202,413, $77,972, and $40,161, respectively,
pursuant to the Plan. The Funds were advised that of these amounts, the
Distributor retained $7,966, $54,333, and $1,045, from the U.S. Government
Securities Fund, Corporate Bond Fund, and Intermediate Bond Fund, respectively,
and affiliates of Bank of America retained $185,292, $9,525, and $18,409,
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,
BISYS waived $16,286 for the Intermediate 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 distribution expenses may not
exceed 0.75% 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 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. For the year ended
February 28, 1997, $170 and $125 of shareholder services and administrative
services were waived by the U.S. Government Securities Fund and the Intermediate
Bond Fund, respectively.

U.S. Government Securities Fund, Corporate Bond Fund, and Intermediate 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

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 the Pacific Horizon U.S. Government
Securities Fund, Pacific Horizon Corporate Bond Fund and Pacific Horizon
Intermediate Bond Fund (three of the portfolios constituting 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 and brokers and the application of alternative
auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide
a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Notes to Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION
Master Investment Trust, Series I (the "Trust"), a Delaware business trust,
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 Trust
consisted of three portfolios. The accompanying financial statements and notes
are those of the Investment Grade Bond Portfolio (the "Portfolio") only.
The investment objective of the Investment Grade Bond Portfolio is to obtain
interest income and capital appreciation by investing in investment grade
intermediate and longer term bonds, including corporate and governmental fixed
income obligations and mortgage-backed securities.
Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association ("Bank of America"),
a subsidiary of BankAmerica Corporation, serves as the Portfolio's investment
adviser. The BISYS Group, Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiary, BISYS Fund
Services, Limited Partnership ("BISYS") serves as the Portfolio's administrator.
NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Portfolio in the preparation of its 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 in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
PORTFOLIO VALUATIONS:
Securities for which market quotations are readily available (other than
debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less) are valued at the
last reported sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities
are primarily traded or at the last reported sales price on the NASDAQ National
Securities Market. Securities not listed on an exchange or the NASDAQ National
Securities Market, or securities for which there were no transactions on the day
of valuation, are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and ask prices. Bid
price is used when no ask price is available. The Portfolio may use an
independent pricing service, approved by the Board of Trustees, to value certain
of their securities. Such prices reflect market values which may be established
through the use of electronic data processing techniques and matrix systems.
Restricted securities and securities for which market quotations are not readily
available, if any, are valued at fair value using methods approved by the Board
of Trustees.
56
<PAGE> 58
Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME:
Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest
income, including accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued
daily. Realized gains and losses on securities transactions are determined on
the identified cost basis.
EXPENSES:
Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio,
while general Trust expenses are allocated among the respective portfolios of
the Trust.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
The Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be taxed on their share
of that Portfolio's ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that the
Portfolio will be managed in such a way that an investor will be able to satisfy
the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies.
NOTE 3 -- AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Portfolio has an Investment Advisory Agreement with Bank of America and
an Administration Agreement with BISYS.
As Adviser, Bank of America is responsible for managing the investment of
the assets of the Portfolio in conformity with the stated objectives and
policies of the Portfolio. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory
Agreement, Bank of America is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly,
at an annual rate of 0.45% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For
the year ended February 28, 1997, Bank of America waived $256,439 in fees as
Adviser of the Portfolio.
As Administrator, BISYS assists in supervising the operations of the
Portfolio. Pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, BISYS is
entitled to a fee which is accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate
of 0.05% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the year ended
February 28, 1997, BISYS waived $28,508 in fees as Administrator of the
Portfolio.
For services provided to all three of the portfolios constituting the Trust,
each Trustee receives an annual fee of $3,000 and a meeting fee of $500 per
meeting.
For the year ended February 28, 1997, the Investment Grade Bond Portfolio
incurred legal expenses of $6,797, which was earned by a law firm, a partner of
which serves as Secretary of the Trust.
57
<PAGE> 59
Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with BISYS. Such persons are
not paid directly by the Trust for serving in these capacities.
NOTE 4 -- SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the Trustees
and Investors of
Master Investment Trust, Series I
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the supplementary data present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Master Investment Trust, Series
I -- Investment Grade Bond Portfolio (the "Portfolio") at February 28, 1997, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets
for each of the two years in the period then ended and its supplementary data
for each of the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements and supplementary data
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the
Portfolio's 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 and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
