November 10, 1995
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present the September 30, 1995 annual report for the Pacifica
Government Money Market Fund and Money Market Fund, which includes audited
financial statements.
Pacifica Funds are designed to meet the varied investment needs of individuals
and institutions. They are managed by First Interstate Capital Management, Inc.,
a subsidiary of First Interstate Bancorp.
ECONOMIC AND INVESTMENT MARKET COMMENT
Over the past few months, investors have closely watched economic numbers,
trying to determine whether the Federal Reserve has successfully calibrated
growth in the U.S. economy to a targeted rate of 1.5% to 2.5%. The capital
markets have been choppy as investors have watched crosscurrents, including: 1)
the Fed tightening during most of 1994 and early 1995, which will probably
continue to have a lagged impact over the next few months; 2) the June easing
and positioning of the Fed for the presidential election in 1996; and 3)
Congressional action on taxes and deficit reduction, which will have to be
studied for its impact on fiscal policy. In addition, the weaknesses showing up
in major sectors of the global economy have had a slowing impact on the U.S.
economy as well.
As we review the various sectors of the U.S. economy, we are seeing developments
that are typical of a later cycle economy. Consumer credit has been rising at a
rate of 8%-15% over the last 18 months, bringing some measures of consumer debt
to record high levels. While consumer debt service payments are not yet at
extreme levels due to longer payment cycles, we do believe the high debt levels
are likely to slow consumption from the 3%-3.5% level we have seen for the past
two quarters. We have also seen some inventory buildup in the consumer sector,
with non-auto durables showing the sharpest increase in the third quarter,
rising 8.9%
Residential investment has rebounded recently, helped by lower mortgage rates.
In the third quarter, this sector grew at a 10.9% rate. Capital spending, while
slowing from its torrid growth rate of 21.5% in the first quarter to 8.3% in the
third quarter, remains one of the stronger parts of our economy, stimulated by
low interest rates, a low dollar, and the strong competitive position of the
U.S. economy.
Government spending grew at a 3.1% rate in the most recent quarter, but we look
for government spending to be fairly flat going forward. Once the President and
Congress conclude their work on tax and deficit reduction bills, investors will
have a clearer picture of government spending plans.
Exports came in stronger than expected in the third quarter due to large
shipments of aircraft. Export demand is currently buffeted by two countervailing
forces: First, the global economy is fairly weak, led by problems in Japan and
Mexico. Second, our weak dollar should be positively impacting export demand for
as long as the next 18 months, through what is known as the J-curve Effect.
We are looking for GDP growth to average between 2% and 2.5% over the next four
quarters. That would represent a slowing from the third quarter's pace of 4.2%.
Any unforeseen shock that would undermine consumer confidence poses the biggest
risk to that forecast. However, inflation seems well under control, with the CPI
running at a 2.5% rate over the past twelve months. The GDP deflator for the
third quarter was recently reported at .6%. But, we are seeing price pressures
in the agriculture area. Corn and soybean prices are up sharply in the past few
months. The CRB Commodity Index, which is heavily weighted in agricultural
products, has risen from 233 this summer to 244 currently.
Since the beginning of the year, a powerful rally in the bond market has
propelled bond prices higher. Yields on U.S. Treasury notes and bonds have
declined by 1 1/2% to 2%. As a result, the bond market's September year-to-date
total return (increase in principal value plus interest income), as measured by
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index, stands at 13.6%. This impressive gain comes
on the heels of a 2.9% loss in 1994, which was the worst year for bonds since
the Great Depression.
<PAGE> 2
In the short term, political events could create some uncertainty for interest
rates. Congress must pass a debt ceiling increase and a credible plan to balance
the federal budget. However, the long-term outlook for the bond market appears
to be positive. Year over year inflation has declined and most forward looking
inflation indicators point to declining price pressures.
The U.S. stock market has been very strong this year, with the S&P 500
delivering a total return of 29.8% through the first three quarters of 1995.
Factors which have contributed to this strong performance include: a twenty year
high in profit margins for U.S. industrials reached in the second quarter and a
significant decline in interest rates as the U.S. economy has softened.
Profitability has soared this year with the profit margins for the S&P
Industrials reaching a 20 year high of 5.8%. Helped by a strong economy, a
currency tailwind and strong cost cutting from highly leveraged industries,
earnings for the Dow Jones Industrials and the S&P Industries grew at a 45% and
30% rate respectively for the second quarter. However, earnings momentum appears
to have peaked. With a slower U.S. and global economy, currency drag from a
stronger U.S. dollar and fewer opportunities for cost cutting, earnings momentum
appears to be stalling. We are having to become more selective and focus on
those companies that can produce 12% or better earnings growth in an environment
where the average company is growing 4%-8%.
Over the coming months, the capital markets should continue to be positive for
investment, although it's hard to envision a repeat of this year's stellar
markets. Nothing appears to be disruptive for the bond markets, which would
unsettle stocks. Finally, there continues to be a sizeable flow of investment
dollars into the markets as the result of increased savings for retirement.

PACIFICA MONEY MARKET FUNDS
The 12-month period ended September 30, 1995 saw short-term interest rates
generally rise through February. During the period, the Federal Reserve Board
(the Fed) raised the key Federal Funds rate from 4.75% to 5.50% on November 15,
and again from 5.50% to 6.00% on February 1. The Fed then kept rates steady
until July 6, at which time they lowered the Fed Funds rate by 25 basis points
to 5.75%. This change in policy resulted in sharply lower short-term rates as
the market began to price in potential further Fed easing.
As stated in previous reports, we believe the market overly anticipated Fed
easing. This was reflected in negative spreads between money market instruments
and the Fed Funds rate. Further supporting our view is the fact the Fed has left
rates unchanged at their last two Federal Open Market Committee meetings in
August and September. As long as the economy continues to show moderate growth
and stable inflation, we see no reason for the Fed to change policy
aggressively.
In terms of portfolio strategy, with the Fed Funds rate currently higher than
most money market rates, the Pacifica Funds (the Funds) are maintaining shorter
than average maturities until we start to see money market spreads return to
what we believe are more normal levels, given the current interest rate
environment. At present, this strategy enables the Funds to capture higher
yields than what is available from investments in securities with longer
maturities while maintaining extra liquidity.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, the Funds posted favorable
returns. The Pacifica Money Market Fund had a yield for the 12 months ended
September 30, 1995, of 5.34%* and an effective yield of 5.47%* after
compounding. The Pacifica Government Money Market Fund had a yield for the
12-month period ended September 30, 1995, of 5.10%* and an effective yield of
5.22%* after compounding.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. When redeemed, shares of
the Funds may be worth more or less than their original cost. Shares of the
Funds are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies. Additionally,
Fund shares are not obligations of First Interstate Bancorp and are not insured
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
*Effective and annualized effective yield is based upon dividends declared daily
and reinvested monthly.

PACIFICA MONEY MARKET FUNDS
PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
The PACIFICA MONEY MARKET FUNDS are convenient investment vehicles designed for
investors who desire daily liquidity and a rate of return higher than that
offered by comparable short-term bank deposit accounts. Both Funds seek to
protect the investors' principal by attempting to maintain the value of their
shares at a constant $1.00 per share. There is no guarantee, however, that the
Funds will be able to maintain their $1.00 share price. Unlike bank deposits,
Fund shares are not FDIC insured and do not offer a fixed rate of return. Past
performance is not indicative of future results.

Notes to Financial Statements -- September 30, 1995
1. The Government Money Market Fund and The Money Market Fund (together,
the "Funds") are separately managed portfolios which comprise part of Pacifica
Funds Trust (the "Trust"), an open-end management investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, consisting of ten portfolios at
September 30, 1995. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on
July 17, 1984. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial
statements:
A. The Funds value investments at amortized cost, which approximates
market value.
B. It is the Funds' policy to comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their "investment
company taxable income," as defined in the Code, and net capital gains, if
any, to their shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is
required.
C. The Funds declare and record dividends from taxable net investment
income on each business day and pay such dividends within five business
days after the end of each month. In addition, by distributing during each
calendar year substantially all of their net investment income, capital
gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Funds intend not to be subject
to a Federal excise tax.
D. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Identified
cost of investments sold is used to calculate realized gains and losses for
both financial statement and Federal income tax purposes. Interest income,
including the amortization of discount or premium, is recorded as earned.
E. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund;
other expenses are allocated proportionately among each Fund within the
Trust in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable
basis.
2. First Interstate Capital Management ("FICM") is the investment advisor
to the Funds. FICM manages the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the
Funds and continually reviews, supervises and administers the Funds'
investments. FICM is responsible for placing orders for the purchase and sale of
the Funds' investments directly with brokers or dealers selected by it in its
discretion and for furnishing to the Board of Trustees, which has overall
responsibility for the business affairs of the Trust, periodic reports on the
performance of the Funds. As compensation for their advisory services, the
Government Money Market Fund and the Government Income Fund each pay FICM an
annual fee payable monthly equal to .30% of the first $500 million, .25% of the
next $500 million and .20% in excess of $1 billion of each Fund's average daily
net assets.
In addition, First Interstate Bank of California ("FICAL"), an affiliate of
FICM, serves as Custodian for the Funds, for which FICAL receives a fee based
upon net assets and certain transaction charges. For the year ended September
30, 1995, the Funds incurred the following amounts due to FICM and FICAL:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) -- September 30, 1995
Trust's officers and trustees affiliated with Furman Selz. As compensation for
their administrative services, each Fund pays Furman Selz an annual fee payable
monthly equal to .20% of the average daily net assets of each Fund.
The Funds have adopted a non-compensatory Distribution Plan and Agreement
(the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Plan provides for payment by each Fund for actual expenses
incurred. Such payments shall not exceed .25% of average net assets. Pacifica
Funds Distributor, Inc., an affiliate of Furman Selz, acts as Distributor for
the Trust.
The Funds also retain Furman Selz to provide personnel and facilities to
perform shareholder servicing, transfer agency related services and fund
accounting. For the year ended September 30, 1995, Furman Selz earned the
following fees from the Funds:

</TABLE>
Certain of the states in which the shares of the Funds are qualified for
sale impose limitations on the expenses of the Funds. If, in any fiscal year,
the total expenses of a Fund (excluding taxes, interest, distribution expenses,
brokerage commissions, certain portfolio transaction expenses, other
expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and extraordinary expenses, but including the advisory and
administrative services fees) exceed the expense limitations applicable to that
Fund imposed by the securities regulations of any state, FICM and Furman Selz
will pay or reimburse the Fund to the extent of advisory and administrative
fees. For the year ended September 30, 1995, the Funds did not exceed such
limitation.
For the year ended September 30, 1995, FICM and Furman Selz voluntarily
waived fees as follows:

</TABLE>
Various banks (including First Interstate Bancorp), trust companies,
broker-dealers (other than Furman Selz) or other financial organizations
(collectively, "Service Organizations") also provide administrative services for
the Funds, such as maintaining shareholder accounts and records. The Funds pay
fees (which vary depending upon the services provided) to Service Organizations
in amounts up to an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of the Fund's
shares owned by shareholders with whom the Service Organization has a servicing
relationship. For the year ended September 30, 1995, First Interstate Bancorp
was the only service organization to receive payments. First Interstate Bancorp
earned $44,864 and $19,383 in such fees from the Government Money Market and
Money Market Funds, respectively.

3. The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with government
securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board, with member banks of
the Federal Reserve System or with other brokers or dealers that meet the credit
guidelines established by the Trustees. The Funds will always receive and
maintain securities as collateral whose market value, including accrued
interest, will be at least 100% of the dollar amount invested by that Fund in
each agreement, and that Fund will make payment for such securities only upon
physical delivery or upon evidence of book entry transfer to the account of the
custodian. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business
day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure
the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults, and the value of the
collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to
the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be
delayed or limited.
In the pursuit of its minimum credit risk policy, The Funds maintain
diversified portfolios of money market instruments, each of which matures in 397
days or less and is rated high quality by at least two nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations, or, if not rated, is judged by the Board of
Trustees to be of comparable quality. The ability of the issuer of the
instruments to meet its obligations may be affected by economic developments in
a specific industry, region or country. At September 30, 1995, industry
concentration of the Money Market Fund's portfolio for industries in excess of
5% of net assets were: Automotive -- 6.4%, Banking -- 10.4%, Brokerage -- 8.1%,
Financial Services -- 8.6% and Leasing -- 7.5%.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Pacifica Funds Trust
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of The Government Money Market Fund and The Money
Market Fund (two of the portfolios comprising Pacifica Funds Trust) as of
September 30, 1995, and the related statements of operations and changes in net
assets, and financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statements of
changes in net assets for the year ended September 30, 1994 and the financial
highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended were audited by
other auditors whose report dated November 22, 1994 expressed an unqualified
opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
procedures included verification by examination of securities held by the
custodian as of September 30, 1995 and confirmation of securities not held by
the custodian by correspondence with others. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above and audited by us present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of The Government Money Market Fund and The Money Market Fund at
September 30, 1995, and the results of their operations, the changes in their
net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

November 10, 1995
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present the September 30, 1995 annual report for the Pacifica
Asset Preservation Fund and Government Income Fund, which includes audited
financial statements.
Pacifica Funds are designed to meet the varied investment needs of individuals
and institutions. They are managed by First Interstate Capital Management, Inc.,
a subsidiary of First Interstate Bancorp.
ECONOMIC AND INVESTMENT MARKET COMMENT
Over the past few months, investors have closely watched economic numbers,
trying to determine whether the Federal Reserve has successfully calibrated
growth in the U.S. economy to a targeted rate of 1.5% to 2.5%. The capital
markets have been choppy as investors have watched crosscurrents, including: 1)
the Fed tightening during most of 1994 and early 1995, which will probably
continue to have a lagged impact over the next few months; 2) the June easing
and positioning of the Fed for the presidential election in 1996; and 3)
Congressional action on taxes and deficit reduction, which will have to be
studied for its impact on fiscal policy. In addition, the weaknesses showing up
in major sectors of the global economy have had a slowing impact on the U.S.
economy as well.
As we review the various sectors of the U.S. economy, we are seeing developments
that are typical of a later cycle economy. Consumer credit has been rising at a
rate of 8%-15% over the last 18 months, bringing some measures of consumer debt
to record high levels. While consumer debt service payments are not yet at
extreme levels due to longer payment cycles, we do believe the high debt levels
are likely to slow consumption from the 3%-3.5% level we have seen for the past
two quarters. We have also seen some inventory buildup in the consumer sector,
with non-auto durables showing the sharpest increase in the third quarter,
rising 8.9%
Residential investment has rebounded recently, helped by lower mortgage rates.
In the third quarter, this sector grew at a 10.9% rate. Capital spending, while
slowing from its torrid growth rate of 21.5% in the first quarter to 8.3% in the
third quarter, remains one of the stronger parts of our economy, stimulated by
low interest rates, a low dollar, and the strong competitive position of the
U.S. economy.
Government spending grew at a 3.1% rate in the most recent quarter, but we look
for government spending to be fairly flat going forward. Once the President and
Congress conclude their work on tax and deficit reduction bills, investors will
have a clearer picture of government spending plans.
Exports came in stronger than expected in the third quarter due to large
shipments of aircraft. Export demand is currently buffeted by two countervailing
forces: First, the global economy is fairly weak, led by problems in Japan and
Mexico. Second, our weak dollar should be positively impacting export demand for
as long as the next 18 months, through what is known as the J-curve Effect.
We are looking for GDP growth to average between 2% and 2.5% over the next four
quarters. That would represent a slowing from the third quarter's pace of 4.2%.
Any unforeseen shock that would undermine consumer confidence poses the biggest
risk to that forecast. However, inflation seems well under control, with the CPI
running at a 2.5% rate over the past twelve months. The GDP deflator for the
third quarter was recently reported at .6%. But, we are seeing price pressures
in the agriculture area. Corn and soybean prices are up sharply in the past few
months. The CRB Commodity Index, which is heavily weighted in agricultural
products, has risen from 233 this summer to 244 currently.
Since the beginning of the year, a powerful rally in the bond market has
propelled bond prices higher. Yields on U.S. Treasury notes and bonds have
declined by 1 1/2% to 2%. As a result, the bond market's September year-to-date
total return (increase in principal value plus interest income), as measured by
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index, stands at 13.6%. This impressive gain comes
on the heels of a 2.9% loss in 1994, which was the worst year for bonds since
the Great Depression.
<PAGE> 22
In the short term, political events could create some uncertainty for interest
rates. Congress must pass a debt ceiling increase and a credible plan to balance
the federal budget. However, the long-term outlook for the bond market appears
to be positive. Year over year inflation has declined and most forward looking
inflation indicators point to declining price pressures.
The U.S. stock market has been very strong this year, with the S&P 500
delivering a total return of 29.8% through the first three quarters of 1995.
Factors which have contributed to this strong performance include: a twenty year
high in profit margins for U.S. industrials reached in the second quarter and a
significant decline in interest rates as the U.S. economy has softened.
Profitability has soared this year with the profit margins for the S&P
Industrials reaching a 20 year high of 5.8%. Helped by a strong economy, a
currency tailwind and strong cost cutting from highly leveraged industries,
earnings for the Dow Jones Industrials and the S&P Industries grew at a 45% and
30% rate respectively for the second quarter. However, earnings momentum appears
to have peaked. With a slower U.S. and global economy, currency drag from a
stronger U.S. dollar and fewer opportunities for cost cutting, earnings momentum
appears to be stalling. We are having to become more selective and focus on
those companies that can produce 12% or better earnings growth in an environment
where the average company is growing 4%-8%.
Over the coming months, the capital markets should continue to be positive for
investment, although it's hard to envision a repeat of this year's stellar
markets. Nothing appears to be disruptive for the bond markets, which would
unsettle stocks. Finally, there continues to be a sizeable flow of investment
dollars into the markets as the result of increased savings for retirement.
Pacifica Funds can be an important investment alternative for you. Please call

TAXABLE FIXED INCOME MARKETS
The 3rd quarter of 1995 ended with yield levels virtually unchanged from the end
of June, with the exception of the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond, which
declined by 11 basis points. Although yields were little changed, the quarter
was characterized by high volatility. For example, the yield on the 5-year
Treasury note started the quarter at 6.0%, traded as high as 6.37%, traded as
low as 5.74% and ended the quarter at 6.0%. The broad investment grade market
returned 1.93%, with all but 16 basis points coming from coupon income, and the
year to date return stands at 13.61% versus a negative 2.8% for all of 1994.
The current portfolio strategy is a barbell structure, with the short end of the
barbell comprised of short average life mortgage product, asset-backed
securities and high quality corporates. The long end of the barbell is primarily
invested in highly liquid U.S. Treasury securities. We are utilizing this
strategy because we believe the Federal Reserve will not aggressively lower
short-term interest rates and longer term Treasuries offer higher than average
real rates of return. With the 2-year Treasury trading 25 basis points through
Fed Funds, we believe the market is pricing in 75 to 100 basis points of casing
in the near future. If the Fed does not ease as aggressively as the market
currently anticipates, the curve should flatten over time.

Notes to Financial Statements -- September 30, 1995
1. The Asset Preservation Fund and The Government Income Fund, (together,
the "Funds") are separately managed portfolios which comprise part of Pacifica
Funds Trust (the "Trust"), an open-end management investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, consisting of ten portfolios at
September 30, 1995. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on
July 17, 1984. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial
statements:
A. The Funds value investments at the last sales price on the
securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded.
Over-the-counter securities or exchange traded securities for which there
are no transactions, are valued at the current bid price. Bonds and other
fixed-income securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a
pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. In the absence of market
quotations, investments are valued at fair value as determined in good
faith by, or at the direction of, the Trustees. Short-term securities which
mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their term to
maturity at purchase was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on
the 61st day prior to maturity, if their original term to maturity at
purchase exceeded 60 days.
B. It is the Funds' policy to comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their "investment
company taxable income," as defined in the Code, and net capital gains, if
any, to their shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is
required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year
substantially all of their net investment income, capital gains and certain
other amounts, if any, each Fund intends not to be subject to a Federal
excise tax.
The Government Income Fund has an unused capital loss carryover of
approximately $3,928,000 to be applied against future profits from sales of
securities, if any, realized subsequent to September 30, 1995. The
carryover does not include net realized securities losses from November 1,
1994 through September 30, 1995 which are treated, for Federal income tax
purposes, as arising in fiscal year 1996. If not applied, the carryover
will expire on September 30, 2003.
C. The Funds declare dividends from taxable net investment income on
each business day and pay such dividends within five business days after
the end of each month. The amount of dividends and distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in
accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from net
investment income and net realized capital gains as determined by 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 capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment; temporary
differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions
which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gain 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 capital gains. To the extent dividends and distributions
exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax
purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.
To reflect reclassifications arising from permanent book/tax
differences for the year ended September 30, 1995, The Asset Preservation
Fund credited distributions in excess of net investment income and charged
paid-in-capital $62,355. To reflect reclassifications arising from
permanent book/tax differences for the year ended September 30, 1994,
distributions in excess of net investment income was credited and
paid-in-capital was charged $428,330.
To reflect reclassifications arising from permanent book/tax
differences for the year ended September 30, 1995, The Government Income
Fund credited distributions in excess of net investment income and charged
paid-in-capital $562,276.

P A C I F I C A
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) -- September 30, 1995
D. Costs incurred in connection with the original organization and
initial registration of each Fund have been deferred and are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the five year period beginning with each Fund's
commencement of operations.
E. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Identified
cost of investments sold is used to calculate realized gains and losses for
both financial statement and Federal income tax purposes. Interest income,
including the amortization of discount or premium, is recorded as earned.
F. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund;
other expenses are allocated proportionately among each Fund within the
Trust in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable
basis.
2. First Interstate Capital Management ("FICM") is the investment advisor
to the Funds. FICM manages the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the
Funds and continually reviews, supervises and administers the Funds'
investments. FICM is responsible for placing orders for the purchase and sale of
the Funds' investments directly with brokers or dealers selected by it in its
discretion and for furnishing to the Board of Trustees, which has overall
responsibility for the business affairs of the Trust, periodic reports on the
performance of the Funds. As compensation for their advisory services, The Asset
Preservation Fund and The Government Income Fund each pay FICM an annual fee
payable monthly equal to .35% and .50%, respectively, of the Fund's average
daily net assets.
In addition, First Interstate Bank of California ("FICAL"), an affiliate of
FICM, serves as Custodian for the Funds, for which FICAL receives a fee based
upon net assets and certain transaction charges. For the year ended September
30, 1995 the Funds incurred the following amounts due to FICM and FICAL:

Furman Selz, Inc. ("Furman Selz") provides administrative services for the
operation of the Funds, furnishes office space and facilities required for
conducting the business of the Funds and pays the compensation of the Trust's
officers and trustees affiliated with Furman Selz. As compensation for their
administrative services, each Fund pays Furman Selz an annual fee payable
monthly equal to .20% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Funds have adopted a non-compensatory Distribution Plan and Agreement
(the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Plan provides for payment by each Fund for actual expenses
incurred. Such payments shall not exceed .50% of average net assets. Pacifica
Funds Distributor, Inc., an affiliate of Furman Selz, acts as Distributor for
the Trust.
The Funds also retain Furman Selz to provide personnel and facilities to
perform shareholder servicing, transfer agency related services and fund
accounting. For the year ended September 30, 1995, Furman Selz earned the
following fees from the Funds:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) -- September 30, 1995
Certain of the states in which the shares of the Funds are qualified for
sale impose limitations on the expenses of the Funds. If, in any fiscal year,
the total expenses of a Fund (excluding taxes, interest, distribution expenses,
brokerage commissions, certain portfolio transaction expenses, other
expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and extraordinary expenses, but including the advisory and
administrative services fees) exceed the expense limitations applicable to that
Fund imposed by the securities regulations of any state, FICM and Furman Selz
will pay or reimburse the Fund to the extent of advisory and administrative
fees. For the year ended September 30, 1995, the Funds did not exceed such
limitation.
For the year ended September 30, 1995, Furman Selz voluntarily waived
administrative fees of $14,385 and $20,038 for The Asset Preservation Fund and
The Government Income Fund, respectively.
3. The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with government
securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board, with member banks of
the Federal Reserve System or with other brokers or dealers that meet the credit
guidelines established by the Trustees. It is the policy of the Funds to receive
and maintain securities as collateral whose market value, including accrued
interest, will be at least 100% of the dollar amount invested by that Fund in
each agreement, and that Fund will make payment for such securities only upon
physical delivery or upon evidence of book entry transfer to the account of the
custodian. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business
day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure
the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults, and the value of the
collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to
the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be
delayed or limited.
4. The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold
(excluding short-term securities) for the year ended September 30, 1995, were as

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Pacifica Funds Trust
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of The Asset Preservation Fund and The Government
Income Fund (two of the portfolios comprising Pacifica Funds Trust) as of
September 30, 1995, and the related statements of operations and changes in net
assets, and financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statements of
changes in net assets for the year ended September 30, 1994 and the financial
highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended were audited by
other auditors whose report dated November 22, 1994 expressed an unqualified
opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
procedures included verification by examination of securities held by the
custodian as of September 30, 1995 and confirmation of securities not held by
the custodian by correspondence with others. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above and audited by us present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of The Asset Preservation Fund and The Government Income Fund at
September 30, 1995, and the results of their operations, the changes in their
net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present the September 30, 1995 annual report for the Pacifica
Short Term California Tax-Free Fund and California Tax-Free Fund, which includes
audited financial statements.
Pacifica Funds are designed to meet the varied investment needs of individuals
and institutions. They are managed by First Interstate Capital Management, Inc.,
a subsidiary of First Interstate Bancorp.
ECONOMIC AND INVESTMENT MARKET COMMENT
Over the past few months, investors have closely watched economic numbers,
trying to determine whether the Federal Reserve has successfully calibrated
growth in the U.S. economy to a targeted rate of 1.5% to 2.5%. The capital
markets have been choppy as investors have watched crosscurrents, including: 1)
the Fed tightening during most of 1994 and early 1995, which will probably
continue to have a lagged impact over the next few months; 2) the June easing
and positioning of the Fed for the presidential election in 1996; and 3)
Congressional action on taxes and deficit reduction, which will have to be
studied for its impact on fiscal policy. In addition, the weaknesses showing up
in major sectors of the global economy have had a slowing impact on the U.S.
economy as well.
As we review the various sectors of the U.S. economy, we are seeing developments
that are typical of a later cycle economy. Consumer credit has been rising at a
rate of 8%-15% over the last 18 months, bringing some measures of consumer debt
to record high levels. While consumer debt service payments are not yet at
extreme levels due to longer payment cycles, we do believe the high debt levels
are likely to slow consumption from the 3%-3.5% level we have seen for the past
two quarters. We have also seen some inventory buildup in the consumer sector,
with non-auto durables showing the sharpest increase in the third quarter,
rising 8.9%
Residential investment has rebounded recently, helped by lower mortgage rates.
In the third quarter, this sector grew at a 10.9% rate. Capital spending, while
slowing from its torrid growth rate of 21.5% in the first quarter to 8.3% in the
third quarter, remains one of the stronger parts of our economy, stimulated by
low interest rates, a low dollar, and the strong competitive position of the
U.S. economy.
Government spending grew at a 3.1% rate in the most recent quarter, but we look
for government spending to be fairly flat going forward. Once the President and
Congress conclude their work on tax and deficit reduction bills, investors will
have a clearer picture of government spending plans.
Exports came in stronger than expected in the third quarter due to large
shipments of aircraft. Export demand is currently buffeted by two countervailing
forces: First, the global economy is fairly weak, led by problems in Japan and
Mexico. Second, our weak dollar should be positively impacting export demand for
as long as the next 18 months, through what is known as the J-curve Effect.
We are looking for GDP growth to average between 2% and 2.5% over the next four
quarters. That would represent a slowing from the third quarter's pace of 4.2%.
Any unforeseen shock that would undermine consumer confidence poses the biggest
risk to that forecast. However, inflation seems well under control, with the CPI
running at a 2.5% rate over the past twelve months. The GDP deflator for the
third quarter was recently reported at .6%. But, we are seeing price pressures
in the agriculture area. Corn and soybean prices are up sharply in the past few
months. The CRB Commodity Index, which is heavily weighted in agricultural
products, has risen from 233 this summer to 244 currently.
Since the beginning of the year, a powerful rally in the bond market has
propelled bond prices higher. Yields on U.S. Treasury notes and bonds have
declined by 1 1/2% to 2%. As a result, the bond market's September year-to-date
total return (increase in principal value plus interest income), as measured by
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index, stands at 13.6%. This impressive gain comes
on the heels of a 2.9% loss in 1994, which was the worst year for bonds since
the Great Depression.
<PAGE> 42
In the short term, political events could create some uncertainty for interest
rates. Congress must pass a debt ceiling increase and a credible plan to balance
the federal budget. However, the long-term outlook for the bond market appears
to be positive. Year over year inflation has declined and most forward looking
inflation indicators point to declining price pressures.
The U.S. stock market has been very strong this year, with the S&P 500
delivering a total return of 29.8% through the first three quarters of 1995.
Factors which have contributed to this strong performance include: a twenty year
high in profit margins for U.S. industrials reached in the second quarter and a
significant decline in interest rates as the U.S. economy has softened.
Profitability has soared this year with the profit margins for the S&P
Industrials reaching a 20 year high of 5.8%. Helped by a strong economy, a
currency tailwind and strong cost cutting from highly leverage industries,
earnings for the Dow Jones Industrials and the S&P Industrials grew at a 45% and
30% rate respectively for the second quarter. However, earnings momentum appears
to have peaked. With a slower U.S. and global economy, currency drag from a
stronger U.S. dollar and fewer opportunities for cost cutting, earnings momentum
appears to be stalling. We are having to become more selective and focus on
those companies that can produce 12% or better earnings growth in an environment
where the average company is growing 4%-8%.
Over the coming months, the capital markets should continue to be positive for
investment, although it's hard to envision a repeat of this year's stellar
markets. Nothing appears to be disruptive for the bond markets, which would
unsettle stocks. Finally, there continues to be a sizeable flow of investment
dollars into the markets as the result of increased savings for retirement.

PACIFICA CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE FUNDS
The credit picture in California cleared up somewhat during the past quarter.
Governor Wilson signed his approval of the consensus recovery plan for Orange
County. The revised plan diverts revenues from local governments and agencies to
the county for the next 15 years, allowing general creditors and noteholders to
be repaid, and carrying the county out of bankruptcy. Approval by participants
in the Orange County Investment Pool is required, but it is expected to pass.
The state's economy showed more signs of an upturn. Job growth was expected to
come in at 2.3% for the year. Home prices were predicted to show the first
increase since 1990, but probably not until 1996. Moody's affirmed the state's
A1 rating, ending a series of downgrades, and shoring up confidence in the
state's fragile recovery.
Throughout the course of the past year, the Funds continued to invest primarily
in good quality, user supported revenue bonds issued for essential purposes.
Demand for short-term municipals rose sharply during the third quarter,
providing an opportunity for the Funds to receive firm prices for these
securities, and to reinvest proceeds in longer-term issues with substantially
higher yields.
For the past year, the Pacifica California Tax-Free Fund had a total return of
9.82%. The Pacifica Short Term California Tax-Free Fund posted a return of
6.13%. These returns represent a strong turnaround from 1994, when most bond
funds recorded negative total returns.
<PAGE> 43
PACIFICA SHORT TERM CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE FUND
PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
NET ASSETS $19,094,791
The PACIFICA SHORT TERM CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE FUND is designed for the more
conservative tax-free investor who seeks high after tax income and low share
price volatility. This Fund provides investors with income that is exempt from
both federal and California state income taxes.* The average maturity of the
Fund's issues is not to exceed three years, significantly reducing the share
price fluctuation inherent in higher yielding, longer-term bond funds.

PACIFICA CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE FUND
PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
NET ASSETS $161,342,948
The PACIFICA CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE FUND provides investors with income exempt from
both federal and state income taxes by investing in California Municipal Bonds.*
The Fund maintains a high quality rating, presently averaging AA. The average
maturity of the Fund's issues is not to exceed 15 years. By selecting shorter
maturities than many tax-free funds, the impact of interest rate fluctuations is
minimized. Risk is further reduced through geographic and issue-type
diversification among numerous California issues.

Notes to Financial Statements -- September 30, 1995
1. The Short Term California Tax-Free Fund and The California Tax-Free
Fund (together, the "Funds") are separately managed portfolios which comprise
part of Pacifica Funds Trust (the "Trust"), an open-end management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, consisting of ten
portfolios at September 30, 1995. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts
business trust on July 17, 1984. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of
their financial statements:
A. The Funds value investments at the last sales price on the
securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded.
Over-the-counter securities or exchange traded securities for which there
are no transactions, are valued at the current bid price. Bonds and other
fixed-income securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a
pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. In the absence of market
quotations, investments are valued at fair value as determined in good
faith by, or at the direction of, the Trustees. Short-term securities which
mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their term to
maturity at purchase was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on
the 61st day prior to maturity, if their original term to maturity at
purchase exceeded 60 days.
B. It is the Funds' policy to comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their "investment
company taxable income," as defined in the Code, and net capital gains, if
any, to their shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is
required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year
substantially all of their net investment income, capital gains and certain
other amounts, if any, the Funds intend not to be subject to a Federal
excise tax.
The Short Term California Tax-Free Fund and The California Tax-Free
Fund have unused capital loss carryovers of approximately $86,000 and
$388,000, respectively, to be applied against future profits from sales of
securities, if any, realized subsequent to September 30, 1995. The
carryovers do not include net realized securities losses from November 1,
1994 through September 30, 1995 which are treated, for Federal income tax
purposes, as arising in fiscal year 1996. If not applied, the carryovers
will expire on September 30, 2003.
C. The Funds declare dividends from taxable net investment income on
each business day and pay such dividends within five business days after
the end of each month. The amount of dividends and distributions from net
investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in
accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from net
investment income and net realized capital gains as determined by 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 capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment; temporary
differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions
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 capital gains. To the extent dividends and distributions
exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax
purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.
The California Tax-Free Fund had permanent book/tax differences
primarily attributable to dividend redesignations. To reflect
reclassifications arising from permanent book/tax differences as of
September 30, 1995, accumulated net investment income was credited $55,014
and accumulated undistributed net realized gains was charged $55,014.
D. Costs incurred in connection with the original organization and
initial registration of each Fund have been deferred and are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the five year period beginning with each Fund's
commencement of operations.

P A C I F I C A
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) -- September 30, 1995
E. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Identified
cost of investments sold is used to calculate realized gains and losses for
both financial statement and Federal income tax purposes. Interest income,
including the amortization of discount or premium, is recorded as earned.
F. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund;
other expenses are allocated proportionately among each Fund within the
Trust in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable
basis.
2. First Interstate Capital Management ("FICM") is the investment advisor
to the Funds. FICM manages the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the
Funds and continually reviews, supervises and administers the Funds'
investments. FICM is responsible for placing orders for the purchase and sale of
the Funds' investments directly with brokers or dealers selected by it in its
discretion and for furnishing to the Board of Trustees, which has overall
responsibility for the business affairs of the Trust, periodic reports on the
performance of the Funds. As compensation for their advisory services, The Short
Term California Tax-Free Fund and The California Tax-Free Fund each pay FICM an
annual fee payable monthly equal to .35% and .50%, respectively, of each Fund's
average daily net assets.
In addition, First Interstate Bank of California ("FICAL"), an affiliate of
FICM, serves as Custodian for the Funds, for which FICAL receives a fee based
upon net assets and certain transaction charges. For the year ended September
30, 1995, the Funds incurred the following amounts due to FICM and FICAL:

Furman Selz, Inc. ("Furman Selz") provides administrative services for the
operation of the Funds, furnishes office space and facilities required for
conducting the business of the Funds and pays the compensation of the Trust's
officers and trustees affiliated with Furman Selz. As compensation for their
administrative services, each Fund pays Furman Selz an annual fee payable
monthly equal to .20% of the average daily net assets of each Fund.
The Funds have adopted a non-compensatory Distribution Plan and Agreement
(the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Plan provides for payment by each Fund for actual expenses
incurred. Such payments shall not exceed .50% of average net assets. Pacifica
Funds Distributor, Inc., an affiliate of Furman Selz, acts as Distributor for
the Trust.
The Funds also retain Furman Selz to provide personnel and facilities to
perform shareholder servicing, transfer agency related services and fund
accounting. For the year ended September 30, 1995, Furman Selz earned the
following fees from the Funds:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) -- September 30, 1995
Certain of the states in which the shares of the Funds are qualified for
sale impose limitations on the expenses of the Funds. If, in any fiscal year,
the total expenses of a Fund (excluding taxes, interest, distribution expenses,
brokerage commissions, certain portfolio transaction expenses, other
expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and extraordinary expenses, but including the advisory and
administrative services fees) exceed the expense limitations applicable to that
Fund imposed by the securities regulations of any state, FICM and Furman Selz
will pay or reimburse the Fund to the extent of advisory and administrative
fees. For the year ended September 30, 1995, the Funds did not exceed such
limitation.
For the year ended September 30, 1995, FICM and Furman Selz voluntarily
waived fees as follows:

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Pacifica Funds Trust
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of The Short-Term California Tax-Free Fund and
The California Tax-Free Fund (two of the portfolios comprising Pacifica Funds
Trust), as of September 30, 1995, and the related statements of operations and
changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the year then ended. These
financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the
Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statements
of changes in net assets for the year ended September 30, 1994 and the financial
highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended were audited by
other auditors whose report dated November 22, 1994 expressed an unqualified
opinion on those statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
procedures included verification by examination of securities held by the
custodian as of September 30, 1995 and confirmation of securities not held by
the custodian by correspondence with others. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above and audited by us present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of The Short-Term California Tax-Free Fund and The California Tax-Free
Fund at September 30, 1995, and the results of their operations, the changes in
their net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present the September 30, 1995 annual report for the Pacifica
Equity Value Fund and Balanced Fund, which includes audited financial
statements.
Pacifica Funds are designed to meet the varied investment needs of individuals
and institutions. They are managed by First Interstate Capital Management, Inc.,
a subsidiary of First Interstate Bancorp.
ECONOMIC AND INVESTMENT MARKET COMMENT
Over the past few months, investors have closely watched economic numbers,
trying to determine whether the Federal Reserve has successfully calibrated
growth in the U.S. economy to a targeted rate of 1.5% to 2.5%. The capital
markets have been choppy as investors have watched crosscurrents, including: 1)
the Fed tightening during most of 1994 and early 1995, which will probably
continue to have a lagged impact over the next few months; 2) the June easing
and positioning of the Fed for the presidential election in 1996; and 3)
Congressional action on taxes and deficit reduction, which will have to be
studied for its impact on fiscal policy. In addition, the weaknesses showing up
in major sectors of the global economy have had a slowing impact on the U.S.
economy as well.
As we review the various sectors of the U.S. economy, we are seeing developments
that are typical of a later cycle economy. Consumer credit has been rising at a
rate of 8%-15% over the last 18 months, bringing some measures of consumer debt
to record high levels. While consumer debt service payments are not yet at
extreme levels due to longer payment cycles, we do believe the high debt levels
are likely to slow consumption from the 3%-3.5% level we have seen for the past
two quarters. We have also seen some inventory buildup in the consumer sector,
with non-auto durables showing the sharpest increase in the third quarter,
rising 8.9%
Residential investment has rebounded recently, helped by lower mortgage rates.
In the third quarter, this sector grew at a 10.9% rate. Capital spending, while
slowing from its torrid growth rate of 21.5% in the first quarter to 8.3% in the
third quarter, remains one of the stronger parts of our economy, stimulated by
low interest rates, a low dollar, and the strong competitive position of the
U.S. economy.
Government spending grew at a 3.1% rate in the most recent quarter, but we look
for government spending to be fairly flat going forward. Once the President and
Congress conclude their work on tax and deficit reduction bills, investors will
have a clearer picture of government spending plans.
Exports came in stronger than expected in the third quarter due to large
shipments of aircraft. Export demand is currently buffeted by two countervailing
forces: First, the global economy is fairly weak, led by problems in Japan and
Mexico. Second, our weak dollar should be positively impacting export demand for
as long as the next 18 months, through what is known as the J-curve Effect.
We are looking for GDP growth to average between 2% and 2.5% over the next four
quarters. That would represent a slowing from the third quarter's pace of 4.2%.
Any unforeseen shock that would undermine consumer confidence poses the biggest
risk to that forecast. However, inflation seems well under control, with the CPI
running at a 2.5% rate over the past twelve months. The GDP deflator for the
third quarter was recently reported at .6%. But, we are seeing price pressures
in the agriculture area. Corn and soybean prices are up sharply in the past few
months. The CRB Commodity Index, which is heavily weighted in agricultural
products, has risen from 233 this summer to 244 currently.
Since the beginning of the year, a powerful rally in the bond market has
propelled bond prices higher. Yields on U.S. Treasury notes and bonds have
declined by 1 1/2% to 2%. As a result, the bond market's September year-to-date
total return (increase in principal value plus interest income), as measured by
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index, stands at 13.6%. This impressive gain comes
on the heels of a 2.9% loss in 1994, which was the worst year for bonds since
the Great Depression.
<PAGE> 62
In the short term, political events could create some uncertainty for interest
rates. Congress must pass a debt ceiling increase and a credible plan to balance
the federal budget. However, the long-term outlook for the bond market appears
to be positive. Year over year inflation has declined and most forward looking
inflation indicators point to declining price pressures.
The U.S. stock market has been very strong this year, with the S&P 500
delivering a total return of 29.8% through the first three quarters of 1995.
Factors which have contributed to this strong performance include: a twenty year
high in profit margins for U.S. industrials reached in the second quarter and a
significant decline in interest rates as the U.S. economy has softened.
Profitability has soared this year with the profit margins for the S&P
Industrials reaching a 20 year high of 5.8%. Helped by a strong economy, a
currency tailwind and strong cost cutting from highly leveraged industries,
earnings for the Dow Jones Industrials and the S&P Industrials grew at a 45% and
30% rate respectively for the second quarter. However, earnings momentum appears
to have peaked. With a slower U.S. and global economy, currency drag from a
stronger U.S. dollar and fewer opportunities for cost cutting, earnings momentum
appears to be stalling. We are having to become more selective and focus on
those companies that can produce 12% or better earnings growth in an environment
where the average company is growing 4%-8%.
Over the coming months, the capital markets should continue to be positive for
investment, although it's hard to envision a repeat of this year's stellar
markets. Nothing appears to be disruptive for the bond markets, which would
unsettle stocks. Finally, there continues to be a sizeable flow of investment
dollars into the markets as the result of increased savings for retirement.
Pacifica Funds can be an important investment alternative for you. Please call

PACIFICA EQUITY FUNDS
During the third quarter of 1995, the stock market continued its march to new
highs, fueled by several factors including mergers, restructurings and earnings
reports. For the quarter, the Equity Value Fund had a total return of 7.1%,
slightly under-performing the Lipper Equity Growth/Income Index at 7.5% and the
S&P 500 at 8.0%. For the year, Equity Value stands at 20.3% versus the S&P 500
return of 29.8%.
While consolidation in several industries including Banking, heated up,
Technology continued to come through with strong earnings. Our actions, such as
better aligning the market sectors in the Pacifica Equity Value Fund and the
Pacifica Balanced Fund, has helped us take advantage of such trends. Of the top
five performing stocks in our Funds for the quarter, three are new additions to
the portfolio: Banctec, a "value" technology play, was our best performing
equity (up 37.6% for the quarter); Texas Industries (up 35.7%); and Ameridata
(up 27.0%).
On the fixed income side, during the third quarter, interest rates fluctuated in
a wide range, but ended the quarter little changed. In this environment the
fixed income portion of the Balanced Fund was able to produce a positive total
rate of return, with nearly all of its return coming from income earned. The
Fund's posture has not changed dramatically from the position taken during the
second quarter. Specifically, the Fund continues to maintain a conservative
maturity profile, in high quality issues. The fixed income portion of the Fund
closed the quarter with an average maturity of 4.6 years and a 84% weighting in
Government securities. The Fund continues to hold a portion of its assets in
securities that offer relative value in stable to rising interest rate
environments, namely premium callable securities and selective mortgage
products.
For the third quarter, the Balanced Fund had a total return of 3.8%,
under-performing the Lipper Balanced Index at 5.4%. For the year, the Balanced
Fund stands at 13.6% versus the Index return of 19.5%.
We continue to feel positive about the direction our Funds are moving and the
strategy we have put in place. As always, we will focus on quality securities
trading at below-average valuations.

PACIFICA EQUITY VALUE FUND
PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
NET ASSETS $170,406,334
The PACIFICA EQUITY VALUE FUND is a stock fund which invests in both large and
small companies whose stock price appears to be low in relation to the intrinsic
value and/or earnings potential of the company. Empirical evidence suggests that
a consistent, value oriented approach provides the greatest potential for
superior long-term performance. The Fund is diversified among numerous industry
groups, minimizing the event risk from any one stock or industry. The Fund is
suited for longer-term investors with time horizons of five years or greater.

Notes to Financial Statements -- September 30, 1995
1. The Equity Value Fund and The Balanced Fund, (together, the "Funds")
are separately managed portfolios which comprise part of Pacifica Funds Trust
(the "Trust"), an open-end management investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 consisting of ten portfolios at September 30,
1995. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 17,
1984. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:
A. The Funds value investments at the last sales price on the
securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded.
Over-the-counter securities or exchange traded securities for which there
are no transactions, are valued at the current bid price. Bonds and other
fixed-income securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a
pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. In the absence of market
quotations, investments are valued at fair value as determined in good
faith by, or at the direction of, the Trustees. Short-term securities which
mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their term to
maturity at purchase was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on
the 61st day prior to maturity, if their original term to maturity at
purchase exceeded 60 days.
B. It is the Funds' policy to comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their "investment
company taxable income," as defined in the Code, and net capital gains, if
any, to their shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is
required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year
substantially all of their net investment income, capital gains and certain
other amounts, if any, the Funds intend not to be subject to a Federal
excise tax.
C. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of
dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized
capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax
regulations which may differ from net investment income and net realized
capital gains as determined by 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 capital accounts based on their Federal
tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Dividends and distributions 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 capital gains. To the extent
dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized
capital gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-
in capital.
The Equity Value Fund had permanent book/tax differences primarily
attributable to dividend redesignations and equalization credits. To
reflect reclassifications arising from permanent book/tax differences for
the year ended September 30, 1995, accumulated undistributed net investment
income was credited $187,049, accumulated undistributed net realized gains
was charged $118,088 and paid-in-capital was charged $68,961.
The Balanced Fund had permanent book/tax differences primarily
attributable to dividend redesignations and equalization credits. To
reflect reclassifications arising from permanent book/tax differences for
the year ended September 30, 1995, accumulated undistributed net investment
income was credited $152,314, accumulated undistributed net realized gain
was charged $41,509 and paid-in-capital was charged $110,805.
D. Costs incurred in connection with the original organization and
initial registration of each Fund have been deferred and are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the five year period beginning with each Fund's
commencement of operations.
13
<PAGE> 74
P A C I F I C A
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) -- September 30, 1995
E. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Identified
cost of investments sold is used to calculate realized gains and losses for
both financial statement and Federal income tax purposes. Interest income,
including the amortization of discount or premium, is recorded as earned.
F. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund;
other expenses are allocated proportionately among each Fund within the
Trust in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable
basis.
G. The Funds use an accounting policy known as equalization whereby a
portion of the proceeds from sales and the cost of repurchases of capital
shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of undistributed net
investment income on the transaction date, is credited or charged to
undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net
investment income per share is unaffected by the sales or repurchases of
the Funds' shares.
2. First Interstate Capital Management ("FICM") is the investment advisor
to the Funds. FICM manages the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the
Funds and continually reviews, supervises and administers the Funds'
investments. FICM is responsible for placing orders for the purchase and sale of
the Funds' investments directly with brokers or dealers selected by it in its
discretion and for furnishing to the Board of Trustees, which has overall
responsibility for the business affairs of the Trust, periodic reports on the
performance of the Funds. As compensation for their advisory services, The
Equity Value Fund and The Balanced Fund each pay FICM an annual fee payable
monthly equal to .60% of each Fund's average daily net assets.
In addition, First Interstate Bank of California ("FICAL"), an affiliate of
FICM, serves as Custodian for the Funds, for which FICAL receives a fee based
upon net assets and certain transaction charges. For the year ended September
30, 1995, the Funds incurred the following amounts due to FICM and FICAL:

</TABLE>
Furman Selz, Inc. ("Furman Selz") provides administrative services for the
operation of the Funds, furnishes office space and facilities required for
conducting the business of the Funds and pays the compensation of the Trust's
officers and trustees affiliated with Furman Selz. As compensation for their
administrative services, each Fund pays Furman Selz an annual fee payable
monthly equal to .20% of the average daily net assets of each Fund.
The Funds have adopted a non-compensatory Distribution Plan and Agreement
(the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Plan provides for payment by each Fund for actual expenses
incurred. Such payments shall not exceed .50% of average net assets. Pacifica
Funds Distributor, Inc., an affiliate of Furman Selz, acts as Distributor for
the Trust.

The Funds also retain Furman Selz to provide personnel and facilities to
perform shareholder servicing, transfer agency related services and fund
accounting. For the year ended September 30, 1995, Furman Selz earned the
following fees from the Funds:

</TABLE>
Certain of the states in which the shares of the Funds are qualified for
sale impose limitations on the expenses of the Funds. If, in any fiscal year,
the total expenses of a Fund (excluding taxes, interest, distribution expenses,
brokerage commissions, certain portfolio transaction expenses, other
expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and extraordinary expenses, but including the advisory and
administrative services fees) exceed the expense limitations applicable to that
Fund imposed by the securities regulations of any state, FICM and Furman Selz
will pay or reimburse the Fund to the extent of advisory and administrative
fees. For the year ended September 30, 1995, the Funds did not exceed such
limitation.
For the year ended September 30, 1995, Furman Selz voluntarily waived
administrative fees of $33,096 and $19,328 for The Equity Value Fund and The
Balanced Fund, respectively.
3. The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with government
securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board, with member banks of
the Federal Reserve System or with other brokers or dealers that meet the credit
guidelines established by the Trustees. It is the policy of the Funds to receive
and maintain securities as collateral whose market value, including accrued
interest, will be at least 100% of the dollar amount invested by that Fund in
each agreement, and that Fund will make payment for such securities only upon
physical delivery or upon evidence of book entry transfer to the account of the
custodian. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business
day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure
the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults, and the value of the
collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to
the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be
delayed or limited.
4. The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold
(excluding short-term securities) for the year ended September 30, 1995 were as

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Pacifica Funds Trust
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of The Equity Value Fund and The Balanced Fund
(two of the portfolios comprising Pacifica Funds Trust), as of September 30,
1995, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, and
financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audit. The statements of changes in net assets
for the year ended September 30, 1994 and the financial highlights for each of
the four years in the period then ended were audited by other auditors whose
report dated November 22, 1994 expressed an unqualified opinion on those
statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our
procedures included verification by examination of securities held by the
custodian as of September 30, 1995 and confirmation of securities not held by
the custodian by correspondence with others. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above and audited by us, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of The Equity Value Fund and The Balanced Fund at September 30, 1995,
and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the
financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
