Dear Shareholder:

               As you know, the Woodward Funds have embarked on some exciting
changes over the last several months. Following the proxy solicitation, we are
pleased to report that the reorganization of the Woodward Funds has been
approved by shareholders. The reorganization is expected to be completed on or
around September 23,1996.

What does this mean to you?

               First Chicago NBD Investment Management Company, the adviser to
the Prairie Funds, has joined forces with NBD Bank, the adviser to the
Woodward Mutual Fund Family, to create a powerful new fund group, soon to be
renamed the Pegasus Funds. As a shareholder, this means that the resources of
a stronger organization will be working for you.


o    Strength in management -- With more than $12 billion in total assets, the
     Pegasus Funds will be one of the largest bank-managed mutual fund
     families in the country.

o    Depth of experience -- Continuing a century-old tradition of asset 
     management for individuals and institutions, the Pegasus Funds' adviser
     is comprised of more than 70 investment professionals who are dedicated
     to the Funds' management.

o    Breadth of investment choices -- Shareholders can select from a complete
     array of 25 mutual funds to meet virtually any investment objective.
     Pegasus Funds bring you "Strength in Investing"

               In addition to offering you a wide range of investment
opportunities, we pride ourselves on delivering superior service and
convenience. We have added features such as systematic withdrawals and
cross-reinvestment of dividends -- allowing you to invest dividends from one
Pegasus Fund in another -- so that you can have more options for your
investment dollars.

               Thank you for your patience throughout this transition. If you
have any questions, please speak with your Investment Professional or call
Shareholder Services toll-free at 1-800-688-3350.

Sincerely,


/s/ Marco Hanig

                          THE WOODWARD BALANCED FUND
                      PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (Continued)
                                June 30, 1996

                       Notes to Portfolio of Investments

The Fund invests in securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool
of mortgages or consumer loans. Some of these securities are collateralized
mortgage obligations (CMOs). CMOs are debt securities issued by U.S.
government agencies or by financial institutions and other mortgage lenders
which are collateralized by a pool of mortgages held under an indenture.

Adjustable Rate (AR)

Inverse Floaters (IF) represent securities that pay interest at a rate that
increases (decreases) with a decline (increase) in a specified index.

Interest Only (IO) represent the right to receive the monthly interest
payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The face amount shown
represents the par value on the underlying pool. The yields on these
securities are generally higher than prevailing market yields on other
mortgage-backed securities because their cash flow patterns are more volatile
and there is a greater risk that the initial investment will not be fully
recouped. These securities are subject to accelerated principal paydowns as a
result of prepayments or refinancing of the underlying pool of mortgage
instruments. As a result, interest income may be reduced considerably.

High Coupon Bonds (HB) (a.k.a. "IOettes") represent the right to receive
interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgages with similar risks as
those associated with IO securities. Unlike IO's the owner also has a right to
receive a very small portion of principal. The high interest rate results from
taking interest payments from other classes in the REMIC Trust and allocating
them to the small principal of the HB class.

Principal Only (PO) represents the right to receive the principal portion only
on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The market value of these securities
is extremely volatile in response to changes in market interest rates. As
prepayments on the underlying mortgages of these securities increase, the yield
on these securities increases.

                                 EQUITY FUNDS
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (Unaudited)

(1)   Organization and Commencement of Operations

      The Woodward Funds (Woodward) was organized as a Massachusetts business
trust on April 21, 1987, and registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company. As of June 30, 1996,
Woodward consisted of seventeen separate series. The five Equity Funds (Equity
Funds) included in these financial statements are described below.

                    Woodward Growth/Value Fund
                    Woodward Opportunity Fund
                    Woodward Intrinsic Value Fund
                    Woodward Capital Growth Fund
                    Woodward Balanced Fund

      The Growth/Value, Opportunity and Intrinsic Value Funds commenced
operations on June 1, 1991, the Balanced Fund commenced operations on July 2,
1994, and the Capital Growth Fund commenced operations on July 2, 1994.

      The remaining two Woodward Equity Funds, the Equity Index and
International Equity Funds, are each included on separate stand alone
financial statements.

(2)   Significant Accounting Policies

      The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Equity Funds in preparation of the financial statements. The policies
are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for investment
companies. Following generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

   Investments

      The Equity Funds value investment securities at market value which is
determined by a pricing service based upon quoted market prices or dealer
quotes. Securities for which market prices or dealer quotes are not readily
available are valued by the investment advisor, NBD Bank (NBD) in accordance
with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

      Investment security purchases and sales are accounted for on the day
after trade date.

      Woodward invests in securities subject to repurchase agreements. Such
transactions are entered into only with institutions included on the Federal
Reserve System's list of institutions with whom the Federal Reserve open
market desk will do business. NBD, acting under the supervision of the Board
of 

                                      36

Trustees, has established the following additional policies and procedures
relating to Woodward's investments in securities subject to repurchase
agreements: 1) the value of the underlying collateral is required to equal or
exceed 102% of the funds advanced under the repurchase agreement including
accrued interest; 2) collateral is marked to market daily by NBD to assure its
value remains at least equal to 102% of the repurchase agreement amount; and
3) funds are not disbursed by Woodward or its agent unless collateral is
presented or acknowledged by the collateral custodian.

    Investment Income

      Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis adjusted for
amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt instruments. Bond
premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted as required by the Internal
Revenue Code. Premiums and discounts on mortgage-backed securities are
amortized/accreted using the effective interest rate method. As prepayments on
the underlying mortgages increase or decrease the expected life, the yield is
adjusted to amortize/accrete the security to its new expected life. Dividends
are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

     Federal Income Taxes

      It is Woodward's policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute net investment income and realized gains to its
shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in the
accompanying financial statements.

      Net realized gains differ for financial statement and tax purposes
primarily because of the recognition of wash sale transactions and
post-October 31 capital losses. Also, due to the timing of dividend
distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ
from the year that the income or realized gains were recorded by the Fund.
Certain book-to-tax timing differences for the funds are reflected as excess
distributions in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. These distributions
do not constitute a tax return of capital.

    Shareholder Dividends

      Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly by
the Equity Funds. Net realized capital gains are distributed annually.
Distributions from net investment income and net realized gains are made
during each year to avoid the 4% excise tax imposed on regulated investment
companies by the Internal Revenue Code.

    Deferred Organization Costs

      Organization costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the
five year period beginning with the commencement of operations of each Series.

    Expenses

      Expenses are charged daily as a percentage of the Fund's assets.
Woodward monitors the rate at which expenses are charged to ensure that a
proper amount of expense is charged to income each year. This percentage is
subject to revision if there is a change in the estimate of the future net
assets of Woodward or a change in expectations as to the level of actual
expenses.

(3)   Transactions with Affiliates

      First of Michigan Corporation (FoM) and Essex National Securities, Inc.
(Essex) act as sponsors and co-distributors of Woodward's shares. Pursuant to
their Distribution Agreement with Woodward, FoM is entitled to receive a fee
at the annual rate of005% of the Equity Funds' average net assets and Essex is
entitled to receive a fee at the annual rate of .10% of the aggregate average
net assets of Woodward's investment portfolios attributable to investments by
clients of Essex.

      NBD is the investment advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. For
its advisory services to Woodward, NBD is entitled to a fee, computed daily
and payable monthly. Under the Advisory Agreement, NBD also provides Woodward
with certain administrative services, such as maintaining Woodward's general
ledger and assisting in the preparation of various regulatory reports. NBD
receives no additional compensation for such services.

      NBD, FoM, and Essex have agreed that they may waive their fees in whole
or in part; and, if in part, may specify the particular fund to which such
waiver relates as may be required to satisfy any expense limitation imposed by
state securities laws or other applicable laws. At present, no restrictive
expense limitation is imposed on Woodward. Restrictive limitations could be
imposed as a result of changes in current state laws and regulations in those
states where Woodward has qualified its shares, or by a decision of the
Trustees to qualify the shares in other states having restrictive expense
limitations. For the period ended June 30, 1996, NBD reimbursed the Balanced
Fund for certain expenses in the amount of $18,406.

      NBD is also compensated for its services as Woodward's Custodian,
Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent, and is reimbursed for certain
out of pocket expenses incurred on behalf of Woodward.

<PAGE>

      On March 10, 1994, Woodward adopted The Woodward Funds Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), an unfunded, nonqualified deferred
compensation plan. The Plan allows an individual trustee to elect to defer
receipt of all or a percentage of fees which otherwise would be payable for
services performed.

      See Note 5 for a summary of fee rates and expenses pursuant to these
agreements.
