To Our Woodward Shareholders:
The fourth quarter of 1995 provided strong results in the equity and
bond markets with total returns of 6 percent for the Standard and Poor's (S&P)
and 4.3 percent for the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index. These results capped an
exceptional year which provided total returns of 37.5 percent for the S&P,
31.7 percent for the Russell 2500 (a proxy for smaller companies) and 18.5
percent for the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index. Foreign markets, as measured by
the EAFE Index, provided good absolute returns of 11.2 percent, but failed to
keep up with the exceptional U.S. market. In fact, S&P 500 results were the
third highest since 1948 and the highest since 1958; the overall bond results
were also the third highest, in this case since the mid 1970s.
The Woodward money market funds had an excellent year with all funds
finishing in the top quartile of their respective IBC/Donoghue's peer groups.
The funds maintained their exceptional credit quality throughout the year and
profited from a strategy of maintaining slightly longer-weighted average
maturities as compared to their peer groups.
The Woodward bond funds again exceeded their respective benchmarks in
the fourth quarter, providing exceptional 1995 results. The Bond Fund
generated a total return of 23.8 percent, while the Intermediate Bond Fund
provided results of 19.5 percent. The two funds ranked at the top of their
respective fund categories for the year. The Short Bond Fund provided a total
return of 10.1 percent, modestly below its benchmark but well above cash
alternatives.
The Woodward equity funds had a solid fourth quarter with a number of
the funds exceeding their peer groups. Generally, the results for the Woodward
equity funds for the year provided very high absolute results; they moderately
lagged peer managers and came up somewhat short of the broader indices. The
Woodward Growth/Value, Capital Growth and International Equity funds had good
fourth quarters. This helped the Growth/Value and Capital Growth Funds close
the gap with their peers for the year, while the International Equity Fund
provided good comparative returns on an annual basis. The Opportunity and
Intrinsic Value Funds lagged their respective benchmarks for the quarter and
the year. We look to 1996 to improve relative equity performance which,
coupled with our strong bond results, should provide our clients continued
success with their investments.
During the year, NBD Bancorp, Inc. merged with First Chicago
Corporation. We were pleased that the investment management effort of the
joint organization has been identified as a primary business of the Bank and
that substantial resources have been allocated to the business. We look
forward to melding the two organization's considerable strengths and providing
our clients with a measurably enhanced research and fund management group.
Thank you for your continued support and we hope you find this report
useful and informative.
Sincerely,
/s/ Earl I. Heenan

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
WOODWARD BOND FUND
Objective:
The Woodward Bond Fund (the "Fund") seeks to maximize total rate of
return by investing predominately in intermediate and long-term debt
securities. The Fund attempts to achieve a total return exceeding that of the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") over an interest rate cycle
or five years. The Fund is managed on the basis of both the extended outlook
for interest rates and trends in rates anticipated over the next 3 to 12
months. Active management strategies include sector rotation, intra-sector
adjustments, yield curve positioning and convexity considerations.
Performance Highlights:
During the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, interest rates
declined along the yield curve. The two-year U.S. Treasury Note declined in
yield from a 7.69% level on December 31, 1994 to 5.15% on December 31, 1995.
The thirty-year U.S. Treasury Bond dropped in yield from 7.88% to 5.95% during
the same period. This larger decline in two-year yields resulted in a
"steepening" of the yield curve. For the year, the Index returned 18.47%.
The Fund returned 23.75% (without the sales charge) in 1995. During the
year, the net asset value of the Fund rose from $9.01 to $10.45. Distributed
dividends were $.64 per share and there were no capital gains distributions.
This return placed the Fund first in its Lipper category (Intermediate U.S.
Government) for the year. This return also compares very favorably versus the
Index which is an unmanaged, broad based bond index. Although the Fund
maintains a higher quality profile than the Index with over 95% of assets
rated AA or better, in general the long-term risk characteristics are similar.
The Index, however, is not subject to the expenses of a mutual fund.
The Fund's high absolute return was the result of yield declines and
price increases in most sectors of the bond market. The exceptional
performance of the Fund versus the Index was primarily the result of
positioning and security selection within the bond market. The higher duration
of the Fund (a measure of interest rate risk) versus that of the Index during
the year was a positive. Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) in general
underperformed Treasuries in 1995 because of fears of faster prepayments, but
the Fund's positioning within the MBS sector was a large positive for the
year. The Fund benefited from the high yield and high price appreciation of
discount CMOs. In particular, the higher yield provided by inverse floater
CMOs and the price appreciation of discount inverse floater and principal only
CMOs contributed to the higher return for the year. Also, premium CMOs backed
by very seasoned high coupon loans prepaid relatively slowly all year, thus
enhancing return. The Fund's overweighting in 2 to 4 year Treasuries was also
a positive for the year. The Fund's positioning in longer Treasury Strips was
a small negative as they were hurt from the yield curve steepening. However,
their high convexity benefited the portfolio during the year due to the large
decline in rates.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
WOODWARD INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND
Objective:
The Woodward Intermediate Bond Fund (the "Fund") seeks to maximize total
rate of return while providing relative stability of principal by investing
predominately in intermediate-term debt securities. The Fund attempts to
achieve a total return exceeding that of the Lehman Brothers Intermediate
Government/Corporate Bond Index (the "Index") over an interest rate cycle or
five years. The Fund is managed on the basis of anticipated trends in interest
rates over the next 3 to 12 months. Active management strategies include
sector rotation, intra-sector adjustments, yield curve positioning and
convexity considerations.
Performance Highlights:
During the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, interest rates
declined along the yield curve. The two-year U.S. Treasury Note declined in
yield from a 7.69% level on December 31, 1994 to 5.15% on December 31, 1995.
The thirty-year U.S. Treasury Bond dropped in yield from 7.88% to 5.95% during
the same period. This larger decline in two-year yields resulted in a
"steepening" of the yield curve. For the year, the Index returned 15.33%.
The Fund returned 19.48% (without the sales charge) in 1995. During the
year, the net asset value of the Fund rose from $9.21 to $10.37. Distributed
dividends were $.59 per share and there were no capital gains distributions.
This return placed the Fund first in its Lipper category (Short U.S.
Government) for the year. The Fund's return was significantly greater than the
Index, which is a broad based bond index made up of U.S. Treasury and Agency
debt instruments and investment grade corporate bonds with maturities from 1
to 10 years. Although the Fund maintains a higher quality profile than the
Index with nearly 97% of assets rated AA or better, in general the long-term
risk characteristics are similar. The Index, however, is not subject to the
expenses of a mutual fund.
The Fund's high absolute return was the result of yield declines and
price increases in most sectors of the bond market. The exceptional
performance of the Fund versus the Index was primarily the result of
positioning and security selection within the bond market. The higher duration
of the Fund (a measure of interest rate risk) versus that of the Index during
the year was a positive. Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) in general

CMOs contributed to the higher return for the year. Also, premium CMOs backed
by very seasoned high coupon loans prepaid relatively slowly all year, thus
enhancing return. The Fund's overweighting in 2 to 4 year Treasuries was also
a positive for the year.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
WOODWARD SHORT BOND FUND
Objective:
The Woodward Short Bond Fund (the "Fund") objective is to maximize total
rate of return while providing relative stability of principal. While the
portfolio may purchase securities with maturities or average lives of up to 10
years, during normal market conditions, its average weighted portfolio
maturity will be limited to a maximum of 3 years. The Fund is managed on the
basis of both the extended outlook for interest rates and trends in rates
anticipated over the next 3 to 12 months. Active management strategies include
sector rotation, intra-sector adjustments, yield curve positioning and
convexity considerations.
Performance Highlights:
Interest rates declined across the yield curve during 1995 as the economy
showed signs of sluggish growth with no indications of accelerating inflation.
The two-year U.S. Treasury Note declined in yield from a 7.69% level on
December 31, 1994 to 5.15% on December 31, 1995. The thirty-year U.S. Treasury
Bond dropped in yield from 7.88% to 5.95% during the same period. This larger
decline in two-year yields resulted in a "steepening" of the yield curve. For
the year, the Salomon Brothers Government/Corporate 1-3 Year Bond Index
returned 10.89%.
The Fund returned 10.07% (without the sales charge) in 1995. During the
year, the net asset value of the Fund rose from $9.84 to $10.23. Distributed
dividends were $0.58 per share and capital gains distributions were $.0016 per
share. This return underperformed the Salomon Brothers Government/ Corporate
1-3 Year Index (the "Index") for 1995. The Index is made up of U.S. Treasury,
Agency and investment-grade Corporate securities with maturities from 1 to 3
years. The Index, however, is not subject to the expenses of a mutual fund.
The Fund's attractive absolute return was largely due to the substantial
drop in interest rates throughout 1995. The one, two, and five-year Treasury
declined 203, 254, and 245 basis points, respectively. The relative
underperformance of the Fund versus the Index was primarily the result of the
expenses paid by the Fund versus no expenses paid by the Index. The Fund's
slightly higher duration (a measure of interest rate risk) versus that of the
Index during the year helped performance as interest rates declined. During
the year, the Fund had generally higher yielding (yield-to-maturity)
securities than the Index which benefited performance. The Fund was
overweighted in less than one-year and three to five-year average life
securities which proved to be a detriment to performance as the yield curve
steepened in 1995. Also, the portfolio's overweighted position in short-term
premium Mortgage-Backed securities was a negative as spreads widened on these
securities during the year. As of December 31, 1995, the Fund held 75% in
Treasury and Agency securities, 9% in Corporate securities, 2% in Asset-Backed
securities and 14% in Mortgage-Backed securities. The Fund held 92% AAA
securities, 2% AA securities and 6% A securities at year end.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
WOODWARD MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
Objective:
The Woodward Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund") seeks to provide as high a
level of current income exempt from federal tax as is consistent with relative
stability of principal. The Fund is managed on the basis of both the extended
outlook for interest rates and the underlying credit characteristics and value
of each asset. Active management strategies include duration management,
sector rotation, intra-sector adjustments, yield curve positioning and
convexity considerations.
Performance Highlights:
Municipal bond investors experienced one of their best performance years
during 1995 as slower economic growth, continued subdued inflation and market
technicals helped set a positive tone throughout the year. Much of the rally
was fueled by a record level of bond maturities, calls and redemptions that
came in the face of a sharp decrease in new issue supply. New issue volume in
1995 totaled approximately $155 billion, well below the 1993 peak of $292
billion and over 5% below the $164 billion issued in 1994. The municipal yield
curve flattened by 5 basis points in the 2 to 30-year sector while the
comparable Treasury curve steepened by 61 basis points. For the year, Aaa
rated municipals underperformed Treasuries with the range of 5 to 30-year
Municipal yields as a percentage of Treasury yields ending the year at 76.3%
to 87.5%, up from 69.0% to 83.8% from the previous year-end. The "20-Bond"
Bond Buyer Index, which is comprised of high quality, tax-exempt general
obligation bonds in the 20-year area, fluctuated within a 136 basis point
range throughout the year (one percentage point equals 100 basis points).
Given the overall strong tone of the market, the "20-Bond" Index closed the
year at 5.44%, 127 basis points lower than 1994.
The Fund returned 16.54% without the sales charge for 1995. During the
year, the net asset value of the Fund rose from $9.59 to $10.68. Distributions
from net investment income were $.472 per share compared to $.493 the previous
year and there were no capital gain distributions for the year. The Fund's
total return without the sales load was below the Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond Index (the "Index") which returned 17.45%. Although the Fund continues to
maintain a higher quality profile than the Index with over 91% of assets rated
Aa or better and no holdings rated below A, in general the risk
characteristics are similar. The Index, however, is not subject to expenses of
a mutual fund.
The Fund's 1995 return was generally attributable to an overall decrease
of interest rates along the yield curve. The primary focus of the Fund was to
maintain a high quality portfolio while providing a steady level of income.
The overall underperformance by the Fund relative to the Index was
attributable to its underweighting in the 20 to 30-year sector of the market
and its negative convexity position. The narrowing of quality spreads also
negatively affected yearly performance. Overweighting in revenue and insured
securities relative to the Index, a slightly longer duration (a measure of
interest rate risk) and its minimal average cash position were all
contributing factors to the Fund's positive performance. Despite a lethargic
year for positive municipal mutual bond fund cash flows, due to a resilient
equity market, talk of tax reform and investor resistance to lower yields, the
Fund's cash flows increased by nearly 14% as compared to the overall municipal
market increase of less than 1%.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
WOODWARD MICHIGAN MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
Objective:
The Woodward Michigan Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund") seeks to provide
as high a level of current income exempt from federal, and to the extent
possible, from State of Michigan income taxes as is consistent with relative
stability of principal. The Fund is managed on the basis of both the extended
outlook for interest rates and the underlying credit characteristics and value
of each asset. Active management strategies include duration management,
sector rotation, intra-sector adjustments, yield curve positioning and
convexity considerations.
Performance Highlights:
The Michigan municipal bond market, along with all fixed-income markets,
rode the downward drop in interest rates to one of their best performance
years in 1995. Despite talk of tax reform, the municipal market moved onward
as an overall decrease in supply accompanied with record levels of calls,
coupon payments and maturities drove interest rates down approximately 120
basis points along the yield curve. Unlike the general market, new-issue
volume in Michigan was $5.6 billion, an increase of approximately 48% from the
previous year. The overall Municipal bond market saw a decrease in new-issue
volume of over 5% from the previous year. The substantial increase in
new-issue volume raised the State's national ranking for issuance to 7th
versus 13th place last year. The Michigan municipal market experienced a boost
during July when the State's credit rating was upgraded. In addition, the
State Budget Stabilization Fund (Rainy Day) exceeded $1 billion at the end of
fiscal year 1995, among the highest in the nation. The State's unemployment
rate ended the year at 5.3% (seasonally adjusted), lower than the 5.6% for the
rest of the country, further proof of a sustained recovery.
The Fund returned 16.49% without the sales charge for 1995. During the
year, the net asset value increased from $9.54 to $10.60. Distributions from
net investment income were $0.48 per share compared to $0.50 the previous year
and there were no capital gain distributions for the year. The Fund's total
return without the sales load was below the return of the Lehman Brothers
Michigan Municipal Bond Index which returned 18.44%. Due to the increase in
the State's school bond credit rating, the Fund's quality is now higher than
the Index and it's general characteristics are slightly different due to the
seasoned and larger issues that comprise it. The Index, however, is not
subject to the expenses of a mutual fund.
The Fund's overall return during 1995 was generally attributable to a
decrease in interest rates along the yield curve. The primary focus of the
Fund was to maintain a high quality portfolio while providing a steady level
of income. The overall underperformance by the Fund relative to the Index was
largely attributable to the narrowing of quality spreads and its negative
convexity position. Overweighting in the prerefunded sector and a shorter
duration (a measure of interest rate risk) than the Index also proved to be a
negative for yearly performance. The Fund's overweighting in State qualified
general obligation school district bonds (the State's credit rating was
upgraded to Aa from A1 during July) and its gradual increase in the revenue
sector provided good performance. The Fund's discount bond position also
contributed to positive performance during the year. Despite a lethargic year
for positive municipal mutual bond fund cash flows, due to a resilient equity
market, talk of tax reform and investor resistance to lower yields, the Fund's
cash flows increased by over 6% as compared to the overall municipal market
increase of less than 1%.

THE WOODWARD FUNDS
BOND FUND
PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 1995
Notes to Portfolio of Investments
(a) The Funds invest 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. Descriptions of certain collateralized mortgage
obligations are as follows:
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.
(b) Based upon estimated future cash flows, income is currently not being
recognized on certain IO, HB, and CMO securities with an aggregate market
value of $1,496,849. The book cost of certain IO and HB securities
includes a write down in the amount of $6,056,100 taken during 1993 to
properly state the net realizable value of the securities. The write down
results in a lower cost of investments than the tax cost disclosed in Note
4 in Notes to Financial Statements.

THE WOODWARD FUNDS
INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND
PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 1995
Notes to Portfolio of Investments
(a) The Funds invest 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. Descriptions of certain collateralized mortgage
obligations are as follows:
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.
(b) Based upon estimated future cash flows, income is currently not being
recognized on certain IO, HB, and CMO securities with an aggregate market
value of $1,408,358. The book cost of certain IO and HB securities
includes a write down in the amount of $2,639,653 taken during 1993 to
properly state the net realizable value of the securities. The write down
results in a lower cost of investments than the tax cost disclosed in Note
4 in Notes to Financial Statements.

THE WOODWARD FUNDS
SHORT BOND FUND
PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS (Continued)
December 31, 1995
Notes to Portfolio of Investments
The Funds invest 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. Descriptions of certain collateralized mortgage
obligations are as follows:
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.

THE WOODWARD FUNDS
BOND FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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 December 31, 1995,
Woodward consisted of seventeen separate series of which there were five Bond
Funds, as described below. Woodward Bond Fund Woodward Intermediate Bond Fund
Woodward Short Bond Fund Woodward Municipal Bond Fund Woodward Michigan
Municipal Fund
The Bond and Intermediate Bond Funds commenced operations on June 1,
1991. The Municipal Bond and Michigan Municipal Bond Funds commenced
operations February 1, 1993. The Short Bond Fund commenced operations on
September 17, 1994.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Bond Funds in the 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 Bond 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 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 or its third
party custodian 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.
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.
<PAGE>
Net realized gains differ for financial statement and tax purposes
primarily because of the recognition of wash sale transactions for all Funds
and write downs for book purposes on the Bond and Intermediate Bond funds (See
notes to Portfolio of Investments). Also, due to the timing of dividend
distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ
from the year the income or realized gains were recorded by the Fund.
As of December 31, 1995, the Bond Funds had capital loss carryforwards
and related expiration dates as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Fund 2002 2003 Total
- ---- ---- ---- -----
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Bond $19,955,806 $1,041,792 $20,997,598
Intermediate Bond 3,916,956 2,190,497 6,107,453
Municipal Bond 96,878 333,098 429,976
Michigan Municipal Bond 29,400 -- 29,400
</TABLE>
Shareholder Dividends
Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly by the
Bond 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.
When Issued/To Be Announced (TBA) Securities.
The Bond Funds may purchase securities on a "when issued" basis. These
securities have been registered by a municipality or government agency, but
have not yet been issued to the public. These transactions involve a
commitment by the Funds to purchase particular securities, with payment and
delivery taking place at a future date, for which all specific information,
such as the face amount and maturity date of such investment security, is not
known at the time of the trade. These transactions are subject to market
fluctuations and the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than
the purchase price at which the transactions were entered. The current value
of these securities is determined in the same manner as that of other
portfolio securities. Although the Bond Funds generally purchase these
securities with the intention of acquisition, such securities may be sold
before the settlement date.
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 of .005% of the Bond Funds's 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.
A reorganization of Woodward and The Prairie Funds is being considered by
the Board of Trustees of both funds. In connection with the proposed
reorganization, the Board of Trustees of Woodward and the Board of Trustees of
Prairie must approve certain reorganization agreements. The transaction is
intended to be effected as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal
Revenue Code, so that none of the Funds' shareholders will recognize taxable
gains or losses as a result of the reorganization. A proxy
statement/prospectus describing the reorganization and the reasons therefore
will be sent to shareholders.
<PAGE>
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 year ended December 31, 1995, NBD reimbursed the Short
Bond, Municipal Bond, and Michigan Municipal Bond Funds for certain expenses
in the amount of $65,761, $88,071, and $119,481 respectively.
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.
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.
See Note 5 for a summary of fee rates and expenses pursuant to these
agreements.

(6) Portfolio Composition
Although the Municipal Bond Fund has a diversified investment portfolio,
the Fund has investments greater than 10% of its total investments in the
state of Illinois. The Michigan Municipal Bond Fund does not have a
diversified portfolio since all of its investments are within the state of
Michigan. Such concentrations within particular states may subject the Funds
more significantly to economic changes occuring within those states.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Shareholders of
The Woodward Bond Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments, of the Bond Funds of THE WOODWARD
FUNDS (comprising, as indicated in Note 1, the Bond, Intermediate Bond, Short
Bond, Municipal Bond and Michigan Municipal Bond Funds) as of December 31,
1995, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period
then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods from
inception (as indicated in Note 1) through December 31, 1995. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 physical counts and
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1995, by inspection and
correspondence with custodians, banks and brokers. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of each of the respective funds constituting the Bond Funds of The
Woodward Funds as of December 31, 1995, the results of their operations for
the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years
in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods
