  * When buying A Shares in Pacific Horizon Funds, your aggregate investment
    determines the front-end sales load that you pay. Your aggregate investment
    is the accumulation of your immediate investment along with shares that you
    beneficially own in any class of any Pacific Horizon Fund (except the Prime,
    Treasury, Government, Treasury Only, Tax-Exempt Money and California
    Tax-Exempt Money Market Funds) and/or any class of any Time Horizon Fund.
 
 ** There is no initial sales charge on purchases of A Shares of $1,000,000 or
    more. However, unless you participated in the Bank of America Daily
    Advantage(R) or Advantage Plus(TM) programs, a contingent deferred sales
    charge ("CDSC") will be imposed as follows: 1% on redemptions made within 1
    year of purchases made on or after November 16, 1998, declining to .50% in
    the second year, and eliminated thereafter, or 1% on redemptions made within
    18 months of purchases made before November 16, 1998.
 
*** Dealer reallowance may be changed periodically. Dealers of record will be
    paid commissions on purchases above $1 million in an amount equal to (i)
    1.00% on sales up to $3 million; (ii) plus 0.50% on the next $47 million;
    (iii) plus 0.25% on sales over $50 million, which amounts may be subject to
    reimbursement out of the CDSC if such shares are redeemed within 2 years of
    purchase. From time to time, the Funds' distributor will make or allow
    additional payments or promotional incentives in the form of cash or other
    compensation.
