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

                         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 of which there were five money
market funds (Money Market Funds), as described below.


              Woodward Money Market Fund
              Woodward Government Fund
              Woodward Treasury Money Market Fund
              Woodward Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund
              Woodward Michigan Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund


       The Money Market Funds commenced operations on January 4, 1988, except
for the Michigan Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund and the Treasury Money Market
Fund, which commenced operations on January 23, 1991 and January 1, 1993,
respectively.

(2)    Significant Accounting Policies

       The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Money Market 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

       Pursuant to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Money
Market Funds utilize the amortized cost method to determine the carrying value
of investment securities. Under this method, investment securities are valued
for both financial reporting and federal tax purposes at amortized cost and
any discount or premium is amortized from the date of acquisition to maturity.
The use of this method results in a carrying value which approximates market
value. Market value is determined based upon quoted market prices or dealer
quotes.

Investment security purchases and sales are accounted for on the 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 Bank (NBD), acting under the supervision of

                                    30

<PAGE>


the Board of 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.

       The Tax-Exempt and Michigan Tax-Exempt Funds invest in a majority of
instruments whose stated maturity is greater than one year, but whose rate of
interest is readjusted no less frequently than annually, or which possess
demand features and may therefore be deemed to have a maturity equal to the
period remaining until the next interest adjustment date or the demand date,
whichever is longer.

Investment Income

       Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis adjusted for
amortization of premium and accretion of discount. Premiums and discounts are
amortized/accreted as required by the Internal Revenue Code.

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.

Shareholder Dividends

       On each business day except those holidays the New York Stock Exchange
(Exchange), NBD or its bank affiliates observe, net investment income is
declared as a dividend, at the close of the Exchange, to shareholders of
record at such close. Such dividends are paid monthly.

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 respective Fund's net
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 the funds 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 of .025% of the aggregate average net assets invested in
the Money Market Funds' first $400 million and .005% of such assets in excess
of $400 million. Fees of FoM under the Distribution Agreement are allocated
among the Funds based on the relative net asset values. Essex is entitled to
receive a fee at the annual rate of10% 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.

       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.

       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.

(6)    Portfolio Composition

       Although the Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund has a diversified investment
portfolio, the Fund has investments in excess of 10% of its total investments
in the States of Michigan and Texas. The Michigan Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund
does not have a diversified portfolio since 99% of its investments are within
the State of Michigan. Such concentrations within particular state may subject
the funds more significantly to economic changes occurring within those
states.


(7)    Subsequent Event

       On or about September 13, 1996, the Woodward Money Market Fund and
Woodward Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund will merge with the Prairie Money
Market Fund, and Prairie Municipal Money Market Fund respectively. Also, 
on or about September 13, 1996, the Woodward Treasury Money Market Fund, 
Woodward Government Fund and the Prairie U.S. Government Money Market 
Fund will all merge into one portfolio. The transaction is intended to 
be effected as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue 
Code, so that none of the Funds' shareholders recognize taxable gains 
or losses as a result of the reorganization.
