Chairman's Message


        Dear PIMCO Funds Shareholder:


        The PIMCO Funds continued to generate positive results for shareholders
        during the six months ended September 30, 1997 in a strong bond market
        environment which saw the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index rise 7.12%.

        As shown on the following pages, most of the PIMCO Funds continued to
        outperform their respective benchmark indexes during the reporting
        period. At the same time, we are pleased that virtually all the funds
        included in this report are rated in the top four-and five-star
        categories by Morningstar. In addition, many of the Lipper rankings
        place our funds among the leaders in their categories.

        Ten years ago, we sent the first PIMCO Funds report to approximately 20
        shareholders who had invested $42 million in the two institutional funds
        we opened in May 1987. Today, we offer 40 fixed-income and equity funds
        to shareholders who have invested $30.3 billion. Of those, 19 funds
        totaling $20.7 billion are described in this report.

        The largest of these, the PIMCO Total Return Fund, has been the nation's
        largest bond fund since mid-1996. Starting with $12.8 million in assets
        as of June 30, 1987, it has grown to more than $15 billion. Over the
        decade, it ranks first among 17 peer funds in the Intermediate
        Investment Grade Debt category according to Lipper Analytical Services
        and carries a five-star Morningstar rating.

        We introduced three new funds on July 31, providing shareholders with
        additional investment choices:

        . Total Return Mortgage Fund - Invests primarily in a diversified
          portfolio of intermediate-maturity mortgage-related securities;

        . Low Duration Mortgage Fund - Same as above with a lower average
          duration, expected to lead to less volatility;

        . Emerging Markets Bond Fund - Invests primarily in securities tied to
          countries with emerging securities markets.

        We believe the outlook for the bond market is quite favorable as
        inflation continues at a low rate and many investors are attracted to
        fixed-income securities. Portfolio manager William H. Gross provides
        more information about our view of the future on the following page.

        We thank you again for your continued investment in the PIMCO Funds and
        look forward to continuing to serve your investment goals.


        Sincerely,


        /s/ Brent R. Harris

An Interview with William Gross

                                           [PHOTO OF WILLIAM GROSS APPEARS HERE]


        William Gross is a Managing Director and founder of Pacific Investment
        Management Company, a PIMCO Advisors institutional investment firm. He
        is also the portfolio manager of the PIMCO Total Return and Low Duration
        Funds.


        Q:  Do you view the current economic environment as favorable for bonds?

        A:  Absolutely. Bonds have a number of things going for them. They
            thrive in periods of low inflation, which we've had for a number of
            years now. Beyond this, economic growth is projected to slow down
            during the next year, which could lead to lower interest rates and
            create an even more beneficial environment for bond prices.

        Q:  How far do you think bond yields could fall during the next year?

        A:  I think long-term interest rates may come down to six percent, due
            to the combination of slower economic growth and low inflation.
            There's also a very favorable supply-and-demand scenario, as
            investors are reallocating more of their assets into bonds. In fact,
            more people are beginning to look at bond funds for the first time
            in several years.

        Q:  What is your reaction to the trend of investors reallocating assets
            into bonds?

        A:  I am encouraged. In my book ("Everything You've Heard About
            Investing Is Wrong") I explain that the factors that have driven the
            stock market's returns will not be repeated in our lifetimes. And I
            think the total returns offered by bonds will be quite favorable
            compared to stocks, with substantially less downside risk.

        Q:  Do you think the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates by the
            end of the year?

        A:  Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan fueled fears of a rate
            increase during his congressional testimony in October. During his
            speech he warned about potentially higher wages and prices stemming
            from the low unemployment rate. Therefore, I think there's a slight
            chance that the Fed may raise rates by year-end, but interest rates
            will decline over the long run.

        Q:  If interest rates change, how will you respond in terms of your
            portfolio holdings?

        A:  If interest rates creep up to the 6.5 percent range, we would view
            that as a buying opportunity, since we believe that yields could
            drop to around six percent, as I said. However, if rates continue to
            fall, we would trim some of our mortgage holdings and move the
            remaining allocation to lower coupon pass-throughs and adjustable
            rate mortgages, as refinancing risks would increase.

        Q:  Are you sticking with your "Butler Creek" outlook for bond yields?

        A:  The interest rate environment is still behaving like tranquil Butler
            Creek, which is located near my old home in Middletown, Ohio. What I
            mean by this is that long-term rates should gently fluctuate within
            a range of five to seven percent over the next three to five years.

        Q:  Assuming we continue down "Butler Creek," what is the best strategy
            for investors going forward?

        A:  The key to a successful investment strategy in such a calm
            environment is generating high income from your bond holdings. This
            focus differs from high yield, which is associated with junk bonds.
            A good first simple step is to lengthen the maturity on the bonds in
            your portfolio, since a bond with a longer duration will yield more
            than its shorter-term counterpart during periods of low inflation.

            The views of Mr. Gross are not indicative of any past or future
            performance of a PIMCO Fund.

Past performance is not an indication of future results. The line graph above
assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 6/1/87, the first full month following
the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 5/11/87, compared to the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged market index. The performance of the
Administrative Class (shown above) reflects the payment of a service fee in an
amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The Administrative Class
commenced operations on 9/7/94. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which
involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and
political or economic uncertainty.

PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 . The Fund's Institutional Class shares returned 7.77% for the semiannual
  period, ending 0.65% above the 7.12% return of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
  Bond Index. This successful result was primarily due to a combination of
  falling interest rates and favorable sector strategies.

 . We were cautiously bullish during the second and third quarters of 1997, a
  period which saw cyclical concerns partially offset positive long-term
  disinflationary factors.

 . A concentration in intermediate maturities was a mild positive for performance
  as the intermediate portion of the yield curve flattened.

 . An above-index weighting of mortgage-backed securities added to returns. These
  issues outperformed Treasuries as declining volatility reduced the threat of
  prepayments.

 . An underweighting of the corporate sector was a drag on returns as these
  issues also turned in strong performance. However, a small allocation to the
  non-investment grade sector (mostly BB-rated issues) was positive for results
  as a healthy economy boosted the prices of these securities.

 . A small allocation to non-dollar securities had little impact on returns due
  to the mixed performance of markets abroad.

PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 . The Fund's Institutional Class shares returned 7.49% for the semiannual
  period, 0.37% above the 7.12% return of its performance benchmark, the Lehman
  Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. This successful result was primarily due to a
  combination of falling interest rates and favorable sector strategies.

 . We were cautiously bullish during the second and third quarters of 1997 as
  heightened cyclical concerns partially offset positive long-term
  disinflationary factors.

 . A maturity mix that favored intermediate maturities benefited performance in
  response to a mild flattening of the intermediate portion of the yield curve.

 . An above-index weighting of mortgage-backed securities added to returns. These
  issues outperformed Treasuries as declining volatility reduced the threat of
  prepayments.

 . An underweighting of the corporate sector was a drag on returns as these
  issues also turned in strong performance. However, a limited allocation to the
  non-investment grade sector (mostly BB-rated issues) was a positive for
  results as a healthy economy boosted the prices of these securities.

 . A small allocation to non-dollar securities had little impact on returns
  due to the mixed performance of markets abroad.

Past performance is not an indication of future results. The line graph above
assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 12/31/96, the Fund's Institutional Class
inception date, compared to the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/
Corporate Bond Index, an unmanaged market index. The Fund may invest in foreign
securities which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency
fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.

- ------------------
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
- ------------------

 .  The Fund began the semiannual period with a near-index duration which
   hindered returns somewhat as interest rates declined. Later in the period,
   duration was increased to modestly above-index which aided results as
   interest rates continued their descent. For the entire six months,
   intermediate-term interest rates declined by approximately 0.5% to 0.75%.
   In this positive interest rate environment, the Fund's performance of 5.91%
   led its Lehman Brothers benchmark by 0.18%.

 .  The Fund employed a broader-than-index maturity structure with a
   concentration in short-intermediate securities. This strategy had little
   impact on returns as the small relative increase in price gains due to the
   strategy was offset by its reduced yield.

 .  The advantages of being more diversified than the index remained evident as
   sector selection aided results. The yield advantage and price appreciation
   of the Fund's significant allocation to adjustable- and fixed-rate
   mortgage-backed issues made the largest sector contribution to
   outperforming its benchmark.

 .  Underweighting the corporate sector while overweighting lower rated
   investment-grade and slightly below investment-grade corporate issues
   enhanced performance. Lower rated corporates posted stronger results than
   very highly rated corporates due to premium yields and price gains as yield
   spreads continued to narrow.

 .  A small allocation to short-maturity non-U.S. markets increased performance
   and portfolio diversification. Specifically, dollar-denominated Argentine
   government bonds extended their contribution to results. Currency hedged
   holdings of New Zealand government bonds also aided Fund returns as
   investors responded positively to improving inflation and economic
   fundamentals.

Past performance is not an indication of future results. The line graph above
assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 6/1/87, the first full month following
the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 5/11/87, compared to the Merrill
Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index, an unmanaged market index. The performance of the
Administrative Class (shown above) reflects the payment of a service fee in an
amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The Administrative Class
commenced operations on 12/31/94. The Fund may invest in foreign securities
which involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations
and political or economic uncertainty.

- ------------------
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
- ------------------

 . The Fund's above-index duration aided results during the six-month period as
  interest rates declined from 0.2% to 0.7% on intermediate-maturity issues. In
  this positive interest rate environment, the Fund's Institutional Class shares
  returned 5.41% to lead its Merrill 1-3 Year Treasury benchmark by 1.20%.

 . The Fund employed a modified barbell maturity structure, characterized by
  concentrations of securities both longer and shorter in maturity than the
  index. This strategy accomplished the goal of increasing price gains in the
  declining interest rate environment.

 . The advantages of being more diversified than the index remained evident as
  sector selection aided results. The yield advantage and price appreciation of
  the Fund's significant allocation to adjustable- and fixed-rate mortgage-
  backed issues made the largest sector contribution to outperforming the all-
  Treasury Merrill Index.

 . Corporate exposure was concentrated in BBB-rated bonds and limited holdings of
  slightly below investment-grade issues, which enhanced performance during the
  period through premium yields and price gains in response to narrowing yield
  spreads.

 . Modest allocations to short-maturity non-U.S. markets increased performance
  and portfolio diversification. Dollar-denominated holdings of Latin American
  issuers extended their contribution to results. Currency hedged Canadian bonds
  also aided returns as investors responded positively to declining government
  deficits and improving economic fundamentals.

PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
- ------------------

 .        The Fund's above-index duration aided results in the first half of the
         1998 fiscal year as interest rates declined approximately 0.2% to 0.7%
         over the short-to-intermediate maturity range where the Fund primarily
         invests. In this positive interest rate environment, the Fund's
         performance of 4.72% led its Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury benchmark
         by 0.51%.

 .        The Fund employed a modified barbell maturity structure, characterized
         by concentrations of securities with maturities both longer and shorter
         than the index. This strategy accomplished the goal of increasing price
         gains relative to alternative maturity structures in the declining
         interest rate environment.

 .        The advantages of being more diversified than the index remained
         evident as sector selection aided results. The yield advantage and
         price appreciation of the Fund's considerable allocation to
         adjustable-and fixed-rate mortgage-backed issues made a significant
         contribution to outperforming the all-Treasury Merrill Lynch Index.

 .        A small allocation to investment-grade corporate issues enhanced
         performance during the period through premium yields relative to
         Treasuries and price gains as yield spreads continued to narrow.

Past performance is not an indication of future results. The line graph above
assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 11/1/87, the first full month following
the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 10/7/87, compared to the Lipper
Money Market Index, an index consisting of the 30 largest equal weighted Money
Market Funds. Whereas money market funds attempt to maintain a stable share
price, the Short-Term Fund's share price will fluctuate in response to market
conditions. The performance of the Administrative Class (shown above) reflects
the payment of a service fee in an amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized
basis. The Administrative Class commenced operations on 2/1/96. The Fund may
invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks including
foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.

- ------------------
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
- ------------------

 .  The Fund's Institutional Class shares posted strong returns, beating the
   Fund's performance benchmark, the Lipper Money Market Index, by 1.59% for the
   first half of the fiscal year in a generally declining interest rate
   environment.

 .  An above-index duration benefited returns due to the higher yields available
   on longer maturity issues in a positively sloped yield curve environment.
   Price appreciation also added to performance in response to a decline in
   interest rates that pushed the yield on one- and two-year Treasuries lower by
   an average of 0.54%.

 .  Holdings of mortgage-backed securities boosted Fund performance due to their
   higher yields relative to like-duration Treasuries.

 .  Short-maturity, BBB and below investment grade corporate securities
   outperformed their investment grade counterparts due to a further tightening
   of credit spreads.

 .  Currency-hedged, non-U.S. dollar positions, mostly in the dollar-bloc
   countries of Canada and New Zealand, augmented the Fund's performance due to
   those countries' declining interest rate environments. Modest holdings of
   dollar-denominated Latin American securities, specifically Argentine and
   Mexican issues, offered higher yields and price appreciation as a result of
   stable economic growth and low inflation.

Past performance is not an indication of future results. The line graph above
assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 7/1/91, the Fund's Institutional Class
inception date, compared to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, and a 10
year duration blend of the Lehman Brothers Intermediate and 20+Yr. Treasury
Indices, each an unmanaged market index. The performance of the Administrative
Class (shown above) reflects the payment of a service fee in an amount not to
exceed 0.25% on an annual basis. The Administrative Class commenced operations
on 9/23/97.


- ------------------
Portfolio insights
- ------------------

 .  Interest rates fell sharply during the semiannual period as expectations for
   the pace of future inflation declined. As the inflation risk premium
   declined, the yield curve flattened; intermediate and longer-term Treasury
   yields fell by 0.7% to 0.8% while shorter rates declined a lesser amount,
   between 0.2% and 0.6%.

 .  The Fund delivered strong absolute performance for the period, returning
   11.40%. This return narrowly outpaced the Fund's 10-year duration performance
   benchmark which returned 11.28% for the same period.

 .  A near-index duration had little impact on relative returns. A barbell
   maturity mix of intermediate and long-term holdings was a slight positive for
   performance due to the flattening of the yield curve.

 .  A significant allocation to mortgage-backed securities over the period
   contributed to performance as these instruments outperformed Treasuries due
   to higher initial yields and tightening spreads.

Past performance is not an indication of future results. The line graph above
assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 2/1/97, the first full month following
the Fund's Institutional Class inception date on 1/29/97, compared to the Lehman
Brothers Inflation Linked Treasury Index, an unmanaged market index. The Fund
may invest in foreign securities which involve potentially higher risks
including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic uncertainty.


- ------------------
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
- ------------------

 .    The Fund returned 2.66% for the semiannual period, outperforming its
     benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Inflation Linked Treasury Index, which
     returned a lesser 2.30%.

 .    The Fund's moderately above-index duration was positive for relative
     performance as nominal bond yields declined.

 .    Inflation-protection Treasuries were range-bound however, with real yields
     beginning and ending the period relatively unchanged. The 10-year
     inflation-protected bond has outperformed the 5-year since its July
     issuance, resulting in an inverted real yield curve.

 .    Allocations to inflation-linked securities of non-U.S. issuers,
     specifically the governments of Canada and Australia, were positive for
     performance as real yields of those countries declined, outperforming the
     U.S. market.

 .    The Fund benefited from holdings of short-maturity corporate securities,
     both conventional and inflation-protected, due to sustained corporate
     profits and stable yield spreads.

Past performance is not an indication of future results. The line graph above
assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 1/1/93, the first full month following
the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 12/3/92, compared to the J.P. Morgan
Non-U.S. Government Bond Index (Hedged), an unmanaged market index. The
performance of the Administrative Class (shown above) reflects the payment of a
service fee in an amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The
Administrative Class commenced operations on 1/28/97. Foreign investing involves
potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political
or economic uncertainty.

- ------------------
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
- ------------------

 . The last two quarters saw solid Fund performance on an absolute basis, with
  Institutional Class shares returning 6.88%. Relative performance was slightly
  below that of the Fund's currency-hedged benchmark which returned 6.96% for
  the same period.

 . Country selection benefited performance due to overweighted positions in the
  dollar-bloc nations of Australia and Canada, two of the world's top performing
  markets. This was somewhat mitigated by underweighting Japan which also had
  superior returns.

 . Within Europe, the Fund benefited from an emphasis on conservative EMU
  convergence strategies. This led to an overweight in Finland versus lower
  yielding European countries such as France, Netherlands and Belgium. Small
  tactical exposure to Italy was also taken as it became more probable that
  Italy would be a first round EMU participant. Positions in Sweden also aided
  performance as the market overestimated the likely amount of future central
  bank tightening, creating opportunities in two- and three-year maturities.

 . Small exposures to developing country debt aided performance as Argentine,
  Mexican and Polish securities posted 10-20% returns over the six-month period.

 . The Fund's limited currency strategy was negative for performance versus the
  index. In Europe, the Fund underweighted the Swiss franc versus the German
  mark and Spanish peseta. Flows from the EMU-zone countries caused the Swiss
  currency to appreciate despite its low yield. Small emerging currency
  positions also detracted from performance due to devaluations in Asia and the
  Czech Republic.

amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The Administrative Class
commenced operations on 8/1/96. Foreign investing involves potentially higher
risks including foreign currency fluctuations and political or economic
uncertainty.

- ------------------
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
- ------------------

 .  The last two quarters saw attractive Fund performance on an absolute basis,
   producing returns on Institutional Class shares of 4.85% over this period.
   Relative performance was slightly above the Fund's benchmark J.P. Morgan
   Global Index returns of 4.72% but lagged many U.S. dollar-hedged portfolios.

 .  Country selection benefited performance due to overweighted positions in the
   dollar-bloc countries of Australia and Canada, two of the world's top
   performing markets. This was somewhat mitigated by an underweighted exposure
   to Japan which also had superior returns.

 .  Small exposures to developing country debt aided performance as both
   Argentina and Mexico posted above 20% returns over the past year.

 .  The Fund's limited currency strategy was negative for performance versus the
   index. In Europe, the Fund underweighted the Swiss franc versus the German
   mark and Spanish peseta. Flows from the EMU-zone countries caused the Swiss
   currency to appreciate despite its low yield. Small emerging currency
   positions also detracted from performance due to devaluations in Asia and the
   Czech Republic.

 .  Overall, U.S. dollar strength caused unhedged portfolios, like the Fund, to
   lag hedged foreign investments on an absolute basis.

</TABLE> 

Past performance is not an indication of future results. The line graph above
assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 1/1/93, the first full month following
the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 12/16/92, compared to the Lehman
Brothers BB Intermediate Corporate Index, an unmanaged market index. The
performance of the Administrative Class (shown above) reflects the payment of a
service fee in an amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The
Administrative Class commenced operations on 1/16/95. The investments made by
the High Yield Fund may involve high risk and may have speculative
characteristics.

- ------------------
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
- ------------------

 . The High Yield Fund's Institutional Class shares strongly outperformed the
  Lehman Brothers BB Intermediate Corporate Bond Index, returning 9.40% for the
  six-month period compared to 8.06% for the benchmark.

 . While the Fund's quality and subordination stratification has remained
  defensive in 1997, careful security selection has enabled the Fund to provide
  good relative performance.

 . Holdings of securities of Energy and Media Companies and underweighted
  positions in Gaming and Supermarkets boosted relative returns. Numerous tender
  offers and premium calls also aided performance as companies took advantage of
  low interest rates and a favorable financing environment to restructure their
  balance sheets.

 . The Fund's three largest holdings - Beaver Valley Funding Corp. (2.5% of the
  portfolio, rated Ba3/BB-), Fresenius Medical Care (2.0%, Ba3/B+) and Time
  Warner, Inc. (2.6%, Ba3/BB+) - all contributed to performance.

 . Small positions in U.S. dollar-denominated Argentine and Mexican Brady bonds
  also contributed to performance.

 . The Fund's small position in floating rate, senior-secured syndicated bank
  loans detracted from performance as these more-defensive securities will
  underperform in periods of very strong high yield bond returns.

Past performance is not an indication of future results. The line graph above
assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 3/1/91, the Fund's Institutional Class
inception date, compared to the Lipper Money Market Index, an index consisting
of the 30 largest equal weighted Money Market Funds. The performance of the
Administrative Class (shown above) reflects the payment of a service fee in an
amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The Administrative Class
commenced operations on 1/24/95. An investment in the Fund is neither insured
nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government and there can be no assurance that the
Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

- ------------------
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
- ------------------

 .        During the first six months of the fiscal year, the Fund's
         Institutional Class shares returned 2.66% outperforming the Lipper
         Money Market Index by 0.34%.

 .        The Fund's favorable six-month performance was achieved through
         significant investments in top quality domestic and Yankee commercial
         paper.

 .        Select holdings of short-maturity, investment-grade corporates also
         added to returns as these securities offer higher yields with minimal
         price risk relative to similar maturity Treasuries.

 .        The Fund's yield enhancing strategies boosted its thirty-day SEC yield
         during the period from 5.18% at the end of March, to 5.41% at the end
         of September.

Past performance is not an indication of future results. The line graph above
assumes the investment of $5,000,000 on 6/1/93, the first full month following
the Fund's Institutional Class inception on 5/14/93, compared to the Standard
and Poor's 500 Index, an unmanaged market index. The performance of the
Administrative Class (shown above) reflects the payment of a service fee in an
amount not to exceed 0.25% on an annualized basis. The Administrative Class
commenced operations on 1/7/97. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which
involve potentially higher risks including foreign currency fluctuations and
political or economic uncertainty.


- ------------------
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
- ------------------




 . A Healthy economy, stable corporate profits and benign inflation provided the
  foundation for declining interest rates and strong stock market performance
  during the first half of the Fund's fiscal year. The S&P 500 Index finished up
  26.26% while one-year interest rates fell by 0.56%.

 . Investments in S&P Index futures and swap contracts captured the impressive
  stock market gains. For the period, the Fund's Institutional Class shares
  returned 26.68%, outperforming the S&P 500 Index by 0.42% due to successful
  interest rate and sector strategies.

 . An above-neutral duration on the cash portfolio used to back the Fund's
  S&P 500 Index exposure was a positive for performance.

 . Both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgages added to returns as
  volatility declined during the period. Corporates, particularly
  BBB-rated issues, boosted performance. A small allocation to BB-rated
  corporates also performed well through a combination of higher initial
  yields and spread tightening.

 . U.S. Treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) also helped performance as
  real yields declined slightly. Currency-hedged inflation protected securities
  were mixed with Canadian positions adding to performance and New Zealand
  positions subtracting from returns. A modest allocation to dollar-denominated
  Latin American bonds was a plus as those markets again topped U.S. bonds.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 .  Over the last six months through 9/30/97, the Fund continued to post strong
   returns. The Fund gained 19.09% versus 17.77% for the Lipper Balanced Fund
   Index and 18.39% for a 60%/40% blend of the S&P 500 and Lehman Aggregate Bond
   Indexes.

 .  A healthy economy, stable corporate profits and benign inflation provided the
   foundation for declining interest rates and strong stock market performance
   during the first half of the fiscal year. The S&P 500 Index finished up over
   26% while Treasury bond yields fell between 0.6% and 0.8%.

 .  The Fund's asset allocation strategy favored equities over fixed-income as
   PIMCO's economic outlook continued to forecast healthy GDP growth. This
   contributed to returns as stocks significantly outperformed bonds.

 .  The Fund's equity allocation outperformed the S&P 500 Index due to successful
   interest rate and sector strategies. Both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate
   mortgages added to returns as volatility declined during the period.
   Corporates, particularly BBB- and BB-rated issues also performed well through
   a combination of higher initial yields and spread tightening.

 .  The Fixed-income portion of the Fund also outperformed its index, the Lehman
   Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. An above-index duration added to relative
   returns as interest rates fell. Corporate securities also aided performance
   through their higher yields and strong relative performance.

 .  The Fund returned 1.69% in the two-month period from its inception on 7/31/97

   by 0.66%.

 .  Returns were favorable in the mortgage sector overall amid continued investor
   expectations for interest rates to remain within a fairly narrow range.
   (Large swings in interest rates lead to less stable cash flows for mortgage-
   backed securities, reducing their value to investors.)

 .  The Fund benefited from positive issue selection relative to its benchmark
   index.

 .  Holdings primarily consisted of current coupon pass-throughs (fixed-rate
   mortgage-backed securities with coupons near current market levels) and CMOs
   (collateralized mortgage obligations) which offer cash flows more tailored to
   investors' needs.

PORTFOLIO INSIGHTS
- ------------------

 .  On July 31, 1997, PIMCO launched the Emerging Markets Bond Fund, a dedicated
   portfolio of developing country debt, benchmarked against the J.P. Morgan
   Emerging Markets Plus Index. In its first two months, the Fund experienced
   strong absolute performance, but underperformed its benchmark index by 0.78%.

 .  Country selection focused on higher yielding markets such as Bulgaria and
   Ecuador, and credits which we deemed undervalued like Poland and the
   Philippines. In general, country selection added value, but results were hurt
   by a large underweight in Russia, one of the best performing markets over
   this period.

 .  The Fund also invested a small portion of its assets in a diversified
   portfolio of short-term local currency instruments. Over our longer
   investment horizon, we expect this to add 200-300 basis points above U.S.
   cash rates. However, in the short-term, these allocations detracted from
   relative performance given the Fund's small exposures to Asian local currency
   debt.

 .  Interest rate strategies were positive for Fund performance as a longer-than-
   index duration added to absolute and relative returns in an environment where
   yields fell around the globe. In addition, relative value strategies such as
   forward buying of bonds and the associated cash management added value versus
   traditional bond purchases.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)


1. Organization

PIMCO Funds (the "Trust") was established as a Massachusetts business trust on
February 19, 1987. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (the "Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The
Trust currently consists of 24 separate investment funds (the "Funds"): the
Total Return Fund; the Total Return Fund II; the Total Return Fund III; the
Total Return Mortgage Fund; the Moderate Duration Fund; the Low Duration Fund;
the Low Duration Fund II; the Low Duration Fund III; the Low Duration Mortgage
Fund; the Short-Term Fund; the Long-Term U.S. Government Fund; the Real Return
Bond Fund; the Foreign Bond Fund; the Global Bond Fund; the Global Bond Fund II;
the Emerging Markets Bond Fund; the Emerging Markets Bond Fund II; the High
Yield Fund; the Money Market Fund; the StocksPLUS Fund; the StocksPLUS Short
Strategy Fund; the Strategic Balanced Fund; the Commercial Mortgage Securities
Fund; and the International Bond Fund (available only to private account clients
of PIMCO). The annual reports for the Global Bond II and International Bond
Funds are provided separately. The Commercial Mortgage Securities, Emerging
Markets Bond II and StocksPLUS Short Strategy Funds had not commenced operations
as of September 30, 1997. As used in financial statements, "Institutional
Classes" refers to the Institutional and Administrative Classes and "Retail
Classes" refers to the A, B and C Classes of the Trust.


2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Trust in preparation of its financial statements. These policies
are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation
of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles 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.

Security Valuation. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for
which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market
value is determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales
are reported, as is the case for most securities traded over-the-counter, the
mean between representative bid and ask quotations obtained from a quotation
reporting system or from established market makers. Fixed income securities,
including those to be purchased under firm commitment agreements, are normally
valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing
services. Foreign currency amounts are converted to U.S. dollars using foreign
exchange quotations received from independent dealers. Short-term investments
which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates
market value. Certain fixed income securities for which daily market quotations
are not readily available may be valued, pursuant to guidelines established by
the Board of Trustees, with reference to fixed income securities whose prices
are more readily obtainable.

Financing Transactions. A Fund may enter into financing transactions consisting
of the sale by the Fund of securities, together with a commitment to repurchase
similar securities at a future date. The difference between the selling price
and the future purchase price is an adjustment to interest income to the Fund.
If the party to whom the Fund sells the security becomes insolvent, a Fund's
right to repurchase the security may be restricted; the value of the security
may change over the term of the financing transaction; and the return earned by
a Fund with the proceeds of a financing transaction may not exceed transaction
costs. Included in payable for investments and foreign currency purchased are
amounts of $14,858,917, $2,634,029, $1,357,092, $6,881,438, $282,986,697,
$116,330,102 and $41,854 for the Total Return, Total Return III, Low Duration,
Long-Term U.S. Government, Foreign Bond, Global Bond and StocksPLUS Funds,
respectively, related to these financing transactions. 

96  PIMCO Funds
<PAGE>
 
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are
recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.
Realized gains and losses from securities sold are recorded on the identified
cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain
dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed,
are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest
income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is
recorded on the accrual basis.

     Stripped mortgage-backed securities (SMBS) represent a participation in, or
are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property, and may be
structured in classes with rights to receive varying proportions of principal
and interest. SMBS include interest-only securities (IOs), which receive all of
the interest, and principal-only securities (POs), which receive all of the
principal. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated
payments of principal, a Fund may fail to recoup some or all of its initial
investment in these securities. The market value of these securities may be
extremely sensitive to changes in interest rates.


Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment
income, if any, of each Fund, except the StocksPLUS and Strategic Balanced
Funds, are declared on each day the Trust is open for business and are
distributed to shareholders monthly. Dividends from net investment income, if
any, of the StocksPLUS and Strategic Balanced Funds are declared and distributed
to shareholders quarterly. Net long-term capital gains earned by a Fund, if any,
will be distributed no less frequently than once each year. Foreign exchange
gains or losses on investments and the income generated from such investments,
arising from fluctuations of exchange rates of the non-dollar denominated
investments relative to the U.S. dollar, are reported to shareholders as income
in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

     Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing
treatments for such items as wash sales, foreign currency transactions, net
operating losses and capital loss carryforwards.

     Distributions reflected as a tax basis return of capital in the
accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets have been reclassified to paid
in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between
undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed net realized
gains or losses and paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial
accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.


Multiclass Operations. Each class offered by the Trust has equal rights as to
assets and voting privileges. Income and non-class specific expenses of each
Fund, except the StocksPLUS and Strategic Balanced Funds, are allocated daily to
each class of shares based on the relative value of settled shares. Income and
non-class specific expenses of the StocksPLUS and Strategic Balanced Funds are
allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each
class. Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of each Fund are
allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each
class.


Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment
company and distribute all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if
applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes
has been made.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.)

September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)


Futures and Options. Certain Funds are authorized to enter into futures
contracts and options. A Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure
to the stock and bond markets or change in interest rates and currency values,
or for gaining exposure to markets. The primary risks associated with the use of
futures contracts and options are imperfect correlation between the change in
market value of the securities held by a Fund and the prices of futures
contracts and options, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability
of the counter-party to meet the terms of the contract. Futures contracts and
purchased options are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices.
The premium received for a written option is recorded as an asset with an equal
liability which is marked to market based on the option's quoted daily
settlement price. Fluctuations in the value of such instruments are recorded as
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until terminated, at which time realized
gains and losses are recognized.


Forward Currency Transactions. Certain Funds are authorized to enter into
forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign
exchange risk arising from the Fund's investment or anticipated investment in
securities denominated in foreign currencies. A Fund also may enter into these
contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift
exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. All
commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable translation rates and
any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded. Realized gains or losses
are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the
currency. Risks may arise upon entering these contracts from the potential
inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contract and from
unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S.
dollar.

     For assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, net
realized an unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise
from changes in currency exchange rates.


Swaps. Certain Funds are authorized to enter into interest rate, index and
currency exchange swap agreements. PIMCO uses these agreements in order to
obtain a desired return at a lower cost to the Fund than if the Fund had
invested directly in an instrument that yielded the desired return. The
agreements involve elements of credit risk identified as the cost of replacing
those agreements for which PIMCO is in a net receivable position in the event of
counterparty default.

     At September 30, 1997, the StocksPLUS and Strategic Balanced Funds were
parties to S & P 500 Index swap agreements. The agreements involve the
contractual exchange of payments whereby the Funds receive proceeds based on the
total return of the S & P 500 Index and pay an amount based on LIBOR. The
differential to be paid or received is recognized daily over the life of the
agreement. For the period ended September 30, 1997, the Total Return, Low
Duration, StocksPLUS and Strategic Balanced Funds had net income of $2,638,875,
$1,390,565, $23,722,135 and $812,508, respectively, from swap transactions.
These amounts are included in interest income of the Funds.


Delayed-Delivery Transactions. A Fund may purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment
by a Fund to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield,
with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period.
When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, a Fund will set aside and
maintain until the settlement date in a segregated account, liquid assets in an
amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a
delayed-delivery basis, a Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the
security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such
fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. A Fund may
dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered
into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may
result in a capital gain or loss. When the Fund has sold a security on a
delayed-delivery basis, the Fund does not participate in future gains and losses
with respect to the security. Forward sales commitments are accounted for by the
Fund in the same manner as forward currency contracts discussed above.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities
whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. The
interest rate on these bonds is generally fixed at issuance at a rate lower than
typical bonds. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, however, interest
will be paid based on a principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any
increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered
interest income, even though investors do not receive their principal until
maturity.


Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may engage in repurchase transactions. Under
the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund takes possession of an
underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase,
and the Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The
market value of the collateral must be equal at all times to the total amount of
the repurchase obligations, including interest. Generally, in the event of
counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset
losses incurred.


3.  Fees, Expenses, and Related Party Transactions

Investment Advisory Fee. PIMCO serves as investment adviser (the "Adviser") to
the Trust, pursuant to an investment advisory contract. The Adviser receives a
monthly fee from each Fund at an annual rate based on average daily net assets
of the Fund. The Advisory Fee is charged at an annual rate of 0.15% for the
Money Market Fund, 0.40% for the StocksPLUS and Strategic Balanced Funds, 0.45%
for the Emerging Markets Bond Fund and 0.25% for all other Funds.

Administration Fee. PIMCO also serves as administrator (the "Administrator"),
and provides administrative services to the Trust for which it receives from
each Fund a monthly administrative fee based on each share class's average daily
net assets. The Administration Fee for the Institutional Classes is charged at 
the annual rate of 0.18% for the Total Return and Low Duration Funds, 0.20% for 
the Moderate Duration, Short-Term and Money Market Funds, 0.30% for the Global 
Bond Fund, 0.40% for the Emerging Markets Bond Fund and 0.25% for all other 
Funds. The Administration Fee for the Retail Classes is charged at an annual 
rate of 0.35% for the Short-Term and Money Market Funds, 0.45% for the Foreign 
Bond Fund, 0.50% for the Emerging Markets Bond Fund and 0.40% for all other
Funds.

Distribution and Servicing Fees. PIMCO Funds Distribution Company ("PFDCO"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of PIMCO Advisors L.P., serves as the distributor of the
Trust's shares.

     The Trust is permitted to reimburse, out of the Administrative Class assets
of each Fund offering Administrative Class shares in an amount up to 0.25% on an
annual basis of the average daily net assets of that class, financial
intermediaries that provide services in connection with the distribution of
shares or administration of plans or programs that use Fund shares as their
funding medium. The effective rate paid to PFDCO was 0.25% during 1997.

     Pursuant to the Distribution and Servicing Plans adopted by the Retail
Classes of the Trust, the Trust compensates PFDCO for services provided and
expenses incurred in connection with assistance rendered in the sale of shares
and services rendered to shareholders and for maintenance of shareholder
accounts of the Retail Classes. The Trust pays PFDCO distribution and servicing
fees at an effective rate as set forth below (calculated as a percentage of each
Fund's average daily net assets attributable to each class):
