PIMCO Funds
Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statement (unaudited)
March 31, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basis of Presentation:

Subject to the approval of the  Agreement and Plan of  Reorganization  ("Plan of
Reorganization")  by the  shareholders  of the Tax  Exempt  Fund (the  "Acquired
Fund"),  a series of PIMCO Funds:  Multi-Manager  Series ("MMS"),  the Municipal
Bond  Fund  (the  "Acquiring  Fund"),  a  series  of the  PIMCO  Funds:  Pacific
Investment Management Series ("PF") would acquire all the assets of the Acquired
Fund in exchange for newly issued shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring
Fund (the "Merger  Shares") and the assumption by the respective  Acquiring Fund
of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund followed by a distribution of the
Merger Shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund.

As a result of the proposed transaction, the Acquired Fund will receive a number
of Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the  Acquiring  Fund equal in value to
the value of the net  assets of the  Acquired  Fund,  net of costs  incurred  to
effect the acquisition, being transferred and attributable to the Class A, Class
B and Class C shares of the Acquired Fund. Following the transfer, each Class A,
Class B and Class C share of the  Acquired  Fund  will  receive,  on a  tax-free
basis, a number of full and fractional Class A, Class B or Class C Merger Shares
of the Acquiring Fund equal in value,  as of the close of business on the day of
the  exchange,  to the value of the  shareholder's  Class A,  Class B or Class C
Acquired Fund shares.

The pro forma  combined  financial  statements  reflect the  combined  financial
position of the PF Municipal  Bond Fund with the MMS Tax Exempt Fund  (hereafter
the "Combined  Fund") at March 31, 1998, and the pro forma  combined  results of
operations  of the Combined  Fund for the period from April 1, 1997 to March 31,
1998, as though the reorganization had occurred on April 1, 1997.

The pro forma combined financial statements are presented for the information of
the  reader  and may not  necessarily  be  representative  of how the pro  forma
combined  financial  statements  would  have  appeared  had  the  reorganization
actually occurred. The pro forma combined financial statements should be read in
conjunction  with  the  historical   financial   statements  of  the  respective
portfolios.

Pro Forma Adjustments:

The pro  forma  combined  Statements  of  Assets  and  Liabilities  reflect  the
reclassification  of capital for the  Acquired  Fund into  shares of  beneficial
interest of the Acquiring Fund. Also, the paid in capital and total  liabilities
reflect an adjustment for $24,241 at March 31, 1998 for the MMS Tax Exempt Fund,
relating  to the  estimated  non-recurring  costs to effect  the  reorganization
including such items as legal, accounting, registration and proxy costs.

The  pro  forma  combined   Statements  of  Operations   reflect  the  following
adjustments:

         A decrease  in the  advisory  fee paid by the MMS Tax Exempt Fund as a
         result of the  application of the .25% advisory fee of the PF Municipal
         Bond Fund.  Previously,  the advisory  fees paid by the  Acquired  Fund
         included certain  administrative  services which will be included under
         an administrative  fee paid by the retail  shareholders of the combined
         Funds as described below.

         The  administration  fee paid by the Class A, B and C shareholders  of
         MMS Tax Exempt Fund was decreased as a result of the application of the
         .35%  administration fee applicable to the corresponding  share classes
         of the PF Municipal Bond Fund.

         The 12b-1 fee paid by the Class C shareholders  of the MMS Tax Exempt
         Fund  has  been  decreased  by .25% to  reflect  the  voluntary  waiver
         undertaken by the Distributor.
