TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:
 
WELCOME TO THE 1997 OVERLAND EXPRESS FUNDS
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT.
 
Short-term market volatility reinforces the benefit of a long-term perspective.
Markets have ups and downs. They sometimes behave in very unpredictable ways,
but, over the long haul, history has shown the financial markets have delivered
growth. 1997 has been an example of short-term setbacks attracting more
attention than generally solid overall performance.
 
For the bond markets, the recently completed reporting period saw market
volatility and the long-expected increase in the federal funds target rate.
After months of debate on the rate of economic growth and the potential for
increased rates of inflation, the Federal Reserve acted in March to raise the
federal funds target rate by 0.25%. The bond market had begun to slide in
February in anticipation of a potential increase and did not begin to recover
until the beginning of May. Bonds rallied somewhat in June and showed a modest
2.09% gain at the halfway point in 1997, as measured by the Lehman Brothers
20+Year Treasury Index.
 
Equity market volatility was even more pronounced. After climbing steadily from
January into late March, the stock market fell precipitously until near the end
of April. Stocks rallied again, however, and, as measured by the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index, enjoyed a 1997 year-to-date return as of June 30 of 20.61%.
 
Of course, equity issues do not rise and fall in unison. Large company stocks
have fared well recently as investors sought greater security and shunned
volatility. In contrast to recent years, various sectors such as technology and
financial services have fluctuated in recent months.
 
It is all too easy to be confused by such a variety of returns and apparently
conflicting information. That's why it is so important to truly understand the
investment philosophies and long-range goals that govern your Fund. We have
always felt that the more you understand your investment, the less likely you
are to be unduly concerned with short-term developments.
 
The following pages contain discussions about some of the relevant market
conditions and other factors that affected the performance of the Overland
Express Funds during the reporting period. These commentaries were written for
you--our shareholders--as part of the Overland Express Funds' commitment to
education, information and service, as we help you meet your financial goals.
 
We are pleased to tell you that, pending shareholder approval, we plan to bring
together the strengths of Overland Express and Stagecoach Funds, another family
of mutual funds advised by Wells Fargo Bank. We plan to consolidate Overland
Express Funds into similar corresponding Stagecoach Funds, in some instances
into new Stagecoach Funds created expressly for this purpose. The Stagecoach
Funds have several additional Funds with
 
     2

investment objectives that complement the Overland Express product line. The
result will be a Fund Family with over thirty Funds and over $20 billion in
assets. You will find full details of this proposed merger in proxy materials
that will be sent to you separately.

OVERLAND EXPRESS CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE BOND FUND
 
Q. HOW DID THE CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE BOND FUND PERFORM FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD
   ENDING JUNE 30, 1997?
 
A. The Fund posted a 3.02% (Class A shares) and 2.56% (Class D shares) total
return. Return figures exclude sales charges and reflect waived expenses.
 
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE FACTORS THAT AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
 
A. The number one factor that affected the Fund's performance was market
movement in interest rates. Interest rates moved lower early in the year,
resulting in higher bond prices. In March, the Federal Reserve increased the
federal funds target rate, which reversed the trend. Interest rates peaked for
the period in early April. In addition to interest rate moves, the Fund's
performance was affected by issuer advanced-refunding of a number of existing
bond issues. The advanced refunding helped improve the credit quality and
increase the value of certain bond issues in the Fund's portfolio.
 
Q. DID THE UNCERTAINTY REGARDING INTEREST RATES AFFECT THE FUND?
 
A. Yes. The Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target rate in March after
many months of speculation. The speculation itself can cause market rates to
increase, affecting prices in advance of an announcement. When interest rates
increase, the resale value of bonds in the Fund's portfolio decreases, causing
Fund shares to lose value. Because the market had declined in anticipation of a
Fed announcement, the actual federal funds target rate increase did not cause a
dramatic slide--but continued concerns about inflation quickening, and thus
potentially inviting a further Fed rate hike, caused additional declines.
 
Q. NOW THAT THE FED HAS RAISED THE TARGET RATE, WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?
 
A. Our outlook is for interest rates to range from 6.5% to 7.25%. The Fund has
taken a neutral stance by maintaining its average maturity close to the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index. We do not expect a prolonged rise in interest
rates or the Federal Reserve to tighten as aggressively as it did in 1994.
Overall, we believe inflation should remain under 3.5%, but late business cycle
cost pressures will dominate the bond market's focus.
 
Q. WHAT WAS THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
 
A. Weighted average maturity is a measure of the average length of time before
the securities in a portfolio mature on a dollar for dollar basis. Typically, a
longer weighted average maturity means the Fund is more sensitive to interest
rate changes. The Fund's weighted average maturity has recently been a little
over 15 years. Adjusted for call features, which are the issuers' right to repay
certain bonds before maturity, the Fund's weighted average maturity drops to
about 10 years. These figures are close to the figures for the Fund's benchmark,
the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index. Over time, we expect the Fund's
average maturity, not adjusted for calls, to decline slightly.
 
Q. HOW DOES WELLS FARGO BANK'S BIAS TOWARDS CREDIT QUALITY BENEFIT INVESTORS?
 
A. Bias towards credit quality means that we only buy investment-grade bonds and
we only buy bonds at the lower end of the investment grade spectrum when we
expect to be rewarded with a higher yield. Recently, credit spreads have been
very tight (meaning investors are not being rewarded for buying lower-rated
bonds) so the Fund has focused on highly rated bonds. We tend to
 
     4
<PAGE>
OVERLAND EXPRESS CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE BOND FUND
 
purchase issues that we believe are above average in credit quality and to avoid
new commitments to market sectors that are under stress. This approach helps the
Fund maintain a portfolio high in credit quality, which we believe benefits
investors.
 
Q. THE STATE'S ECONOMY APPEARS TO BE STRONG, YET POLITICAL EVENTS SEEM TO
   THREATEN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS' ABILITY TO RAISE REVENUE. WHAT CONCERNS DOES THE
   MUNICIPAL MARKET HAVE?
 
A. The recent passage of California Proposition 218 has reduced the flexibility
of local governments to raise revenue. To date, this Proposition has had only a
minor impact on local credit quality. However, the situation is a developing one
and we will be monitoring the effects of Proposition 218 on local credits on an
ongoing basis. In recent months, the Fund sold several issues that we think may
be negatively impacted by Proposition 218. The deregulation of the electricity
marketplace is also a concern of the municipal bond market. Several California
municipal utility issuers were downgraded in 1996 and remain under close
scrutiny.
 
Q. THE FUND CAN INVEST IN BONDS WITH INTERMEDIATE TO LONG MATURITIES. WHAT
   ADVANTAGES DOES THIS RANGE AFFORD INVESTORS?
 
A. The flexibility allows the Fund's manager to choose maturities with the best
relative value at a particular point in time. When interest rates are expected
to drop, the Fund can extend maturity and boost total return. During periods
when tightening is expected, the Fund can shorten the average maturity of its
portfolio in order to reduce its sensitivity to changes in interest rates while
seeking adequate income.

OVERLAND EXPRESS CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND
 
Q. WHAT WAS THE SEVEN-DAY YIELD AS OF JUNE 30, 1997?
 
A. The seven-day yield for the Fund as of June 30, 1997 was 3.39%. The yield as
of December 31, 1996 was 3.34%.
 
Q. WHY WAS THE YIELD ALMOST THE SAME IN JUNE AS IT WAS IN DECEMBER IF THE
   FEDERAL RESERVE INCREASED RATES IN MARCH?
 
A. The general trend in interest rates was an increase in yields, even if it is
not fully reflected in the difference between June and December's month end
figures. Yields change daily as notes are sold on the open market. It is
important to watch the general trend in yields rather than draw conclusions
based on a single day "snapshot" of current yields. The Wall Street Journal's
Market Diary section, for example, publishes a useful graph tracking interest
rates for investors interested in following this type of information. The graph
indicates that there are frequent spikes and valleys in interest rates--and
therefore in money market fund returns--based on market pressures even without
Fed action.
 
Q. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MARKET PRESSURES THAT AFFECT YIELDS?
 
A. There are a number of influences. If the economy is expected to grow rapidly,
interest rates usually move higher in anticipation of a federal funds target
rate hike. Investor activity, in the form of cash flows into and out of money
market mutual funds are another important factor. The dynamics of supply and
demand as managers invest shareholders' cash can drive yields higher or drag
them lower, particularly for variable rate securities, which tend to play a
substantial role in the portfolios of all tax-free money market funds. There are
also the effects of cycles during the year; for example the June-July "note
season" usually provides the short-term municipal marketplace with the heaviest
supply of the year. We expect that the bulk of note buying for the Fund will be
completed during this period.
 
Q. WHAT DOES "WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY" TELL US ABOUT THE FUND? HOW HAS IT
   CHANGED DURING THE PERIOD?
 
A. Weighted average maturity is a measure of the average length of time before
securities in a portfolio mature on a dollar for dollar basis. It is one of the
measures of a fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes. Funds with longer
maturities are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes. Typically, for
a money market mutual fund, managers will increase maturity to lock in higher
rates or shorten maturity if they anticipate higher rates being available soon.
Market forces may also make one range relatively more attractive than another.
For the most part, the weighted average maturity for the Fund has been fairly
steady and in the short-to-intermediate range of 45 to 60 days.

OVERLAND EXPRESS CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND
 
Q. SINCE THE FEDERAL RESERVE RAISED THE FEDERAL FUNDS TARGET RATE IN MARCH, DO
   YOU EXPECT FURTHER ACTION?
 
A. The Federal Reserve has rarely effected a single increase when changing
monetary policy, so additional increases seem likely. However, the federal funds
target rate is relatively high compared to the Consumer Price Index (the prime
measure of inflation), so we believe that substantial increases are unlikely.
Recent comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, however, have
increased optimism that we may finish the year without seeing another increase.
 
ALTHOUGH THE FUND SEEKS TO MAINTAIN A $1.00 PER SHARE NET ASSET VALUE, THERE IS
NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WILL MEET THIS OBJECTIVE.

OVERLAND EXPRESS INDEX ALLOCATION FUND
 
Q. HOW DID THE INDEX ALLOCATION FUND PERFORM FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE
   30, 1997?
 
A. The Fund posted a 13.52% (Class A shares) and 13.08% (Class D shares) total
return. These return figures exclude sales charges and reflect waived expenses.
 
Q. HOW HAS THE FUND'S ALLOCATION CHANGED DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD, AND WHAT
   IS THE CURRENT ASSET MIX OF THE FUND?
 
A. Although both the stock and bond markets experienced volatility during the
first six months of 1997, our analysis continues to suggest that stocks, for the
time being, are overvalued in comparison to bonds. The Model has therefore
behaved defensively by maintaining a bond allocation. The Fund's asset mix
during this period has remained close to its June 30, 1997 allocation of 70%
stocks, 30% bonds.
 
Q. WHAT FACTORS HELPED DETERMINE THIS ALLOCATION?
 
A. Allocations are determined by comparing the expected returns for the three
asset classes, balanced against the Fund's overall risk tolerance. Although the
stock market has continued to post strong gains in 1997, there were several
factors that favored maintaining a bond allocation. In January, the Commerce
Department reported reasonable Gross Domestic Product growth for the previous
year with the lowest inflation rate since 1967. This positive news contributed
to an S&P 500 Index return of 6.24% for the month. The S&P 500 Index has
continued to break new ground, closing over 800 for the first time in February.
The trend reversed itself in March and April, before returning 20.61% for the
year-to-date through June 30.
 
The bond market has also reacted strongly to economic news--both good and bad.
This has led to volatility, but bonds have overcome the negative return of the
first quarter (-3.60%), returning 2.09% for the period according to the Lehman
Brothers 20+Year Treasury Index.
 
The Fund, however, does not "chase returns" by trying to guess from month to
month where the highest returns will be. Instead, the Index Allocation model
examines the fundamentals and recommends accordingly. This analysis suggests
that stock prices have been higher throughout the period than the current
earnings expectations can justify. That is why the Fund is not completely
invested in stocks, but has maintained a 30% bond allocation.
 
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECTED THE ALLOCATION?
 
A. There are core inputs that are used to formulate assessments of the relative
values of and the expected returns for stocks, bonds and cash. Other valuable
inputs used are to determine management consensus expectations based on the
investment activities of corporations and corporate officers, and spreads
between expected yields for various corporate bonds.
 
These factors, along with additional information, are used to determine the
expected returns of each asset class. The Model's inputs are updated daily and
reflect changing market parameters, while maintaining a long-term outlook. The
Model's goal is to build wealth when risk is expected to be rewarded and
conserve wealth when risk is not expected to be rewarded.

<PAGE>
OVERLAND EXPRESS INDEX ALLOCATION FUND
 
As we said, the current allocation is defensive. Although the equity market has
delivered excellent returns recently, we believe the equity market's long-term
return prospects are below historical levels.
 
Q. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE ASSET ALLOCATION MODEL IN THE
   LAST SIX MONTHS?
 
A. Yes. Previously, the Model's trading guidelines allowed the Fund to change
allocations in 10% increments. In March 1997, the trading guidelines were
refined to allow for greater efficiency in capturing the return information
identified by the Model. These new guidelines allow the Model to rebalance the
Fund's asset allocation mix in increments of 5%. For example, a mix might now be
75% stocks, 25% bonds and no cash, rather than the previous 70/30/0 mix. This
allows the Fund to invest in a mix of assets that is closer to the Model's
optimal mix. This change has affected the timing of rebalances as well. The Fund
can trade more frequently, in smaller amounts, to stay aligned with the Model's
recommendation.

OVERLAND EXPRESS MONEY MARKET FUND
 
Q. WHAT WAS THE SEVEN-DAY YIELD AS OF JUNE 30, 1997?
 
A. The seven-day yield for Class A shares of the Fund as of June 30, 1997 was
5.17%. The yield as of December 31, 1996 was 4.82%.
 
Q. WAS THE HIGHER YIELD THE RESULT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE'S ACTION IN RAISING
   THE FEDERAL FUNDS TARGET RATE?
 
A. Only in part. Yields change daily as notes are sold on the open market. It is
important to keep an eye on the general trend in yields rather than draw
conclusions based on a single-day "snapshot" of current returns. The Wall Street
Journal's Market Diary section, for example, publishes a useful graph tracking
interest rates for investors interested in following this sort of information.
The graph indicates that there are frequent spikes and valleys in interest
rates--and therefore in money market fund returns--based on market pressures
even without Fed action.
 
Q. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MARKET PRESSURES THAT AFFECT YIELDS?
 
A. There are a number of influences. If the economy is expected to grow rapidly,
interest rates usually move higher in anticipation of a Fed rate hike. Cash
flows into money market mutual funds are another important factor. The dynamics
of supply and demand as managers invest shareholders' cash can drive yields
higher or drag them lower, particularly for variable rate securities.
 
Q. WHAT DOES "WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY" TELL US ABOUT THE FUND? HOW HAS IT
   CHANGED DURING THE PERIOD?
 
A. Weighted average maturity is a measure of the average length of time before
securities in a portfolio mature on a dollar for dollar basis. It is one of the
measures of a fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes. Funds with longer
maturities generally are more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
Typically, for a money market mutual fund, managers will increase maturity to
lock in higher rates or shorten maturity if they anticipate higher rates being
available soon. Market forces may also make one range relatively more attractive
than another. For the most part, the weighted average maturity for the Fund has
been fairly steady and in the short-to-intermediate range of 45 to 60 days.
 
Q. SINCE THE FEDERAL RESERVE RAISED THE FEDERAL FUNDS TARGET RATE IN MARCH, DO
   YOU EXPECT FURTHER ACTION?
 
A. The Federal Reserve has rarely effected a single increase when changing
monetary policy, so additional increases seem likely. However, the federal funds
target rate is relatively high compared to the Consumer Price Index (the prime
measure of inflation), so we believe that substantial increases are unlikely.
Recent comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, however, have
increased optimism that we may finish the year without seeing another increase.
 
ALTHOUGH THE FUND SEEKS TO MAINTAIN A $1.00 PER SHARE NET ASSET VALUE, THERE IS
NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WILL MEET THIS OBJECTIVE.
 
AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND IS NEITHER INSURED NOR GUARANTEED BY THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT OR ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY, NOR BY WELLS FARGO BANK.

EXPENSES. PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.

OVERLAND EXPRESS MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
 
Q. HOW DID THE MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND PERFORM FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE
   30, 1997?
 
A. The Fund posted a 3.28% (Class A shares) and a 2.97% (Class D shares) total
return. Return figures exclude sales charges and reflect waived expenses.
 
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE FACTORS INFLUENCING THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
 
A. The Fund's performance tracked the market for housing bonds very closely. The
Fund's portfolio is comprised of approximately 70% housing bonds. Housing bonds
tend to be a defensive choice in an uncertain interest rate environment. They
generally drop less in value than comparable bonds when rates increase, but they
also tend to underperform in a falling interest rate environment because they
are often recalled as homeowners and other issuers refinance at lower rates.
Another factor that affected the Fund's performance was market movement in
interest rates. Interest rates moved lower early in the year, resulting in
higher bond prices. In March, the Federal Reserve increased the federal funds
target rate, which reversed the trend. Interest rates peaked for the period in
early April. In addition to interest rate moves, the Fund's performance was
affected by issuer advanced-refunding, which helped improve the credit quality
and increase the value of certain bonds issues in the Fund's portfolio.
 
Q. DO YOU ANTICIPATE FURTHER FEDERAL RESERVE ACTION ON INTEREST RATES?
 
A. The Federal Reserve has rarely effected a single increase when changing
monetary policy, so additional increases seem likely. However, the federal funds
target rate is relatively high compared to the Consumer Price Index (the prime
measure of inflation), so we believe that substantial increases are unlikely.
Recent comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, however, have
increased optimism that we may finish the year without seeing another increase.
 
Q. WHAT WAS THE FUND'S WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY DURING THE FIRST HALF OF 1997?
   DO YOU ANTICIPATE CHANGES?
 
A. The weighted average maturity of the Fund remains close to 20 years.
Generally, we position maturity in anticipation of the direction of interest
rate changes. If we expect rates to fall, we will extend maturity to increase
total return. The resale value of higher-paying bonds tends to increase when
interest rates go down. But if rates are going up, we shorten maturity to try
and maintain share value. In the absence of a strong trend in either direction,
our strategy remains neutral and no significant changes to the Fund's weighted
average maturity are anticipated.
 
Q. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CONCERNS FACING THE NATIONAL MUNICIPAL MARKET?
 
A. One of the major concerns in the national municipal market is utility
deregulation. Certain municipal utilities may continue to have their outstanding
debt downgraded. All of the Fund's holdings in this sector are insured by
municipal bond insurance companies or guaranteed by government agencies, so we
do not expect the Fund to be impacted by any debt downgrades or rating agency
actions in this sector. Nevertheless, this situation bears watching.
 
                                                                         11
<PAGE>
OVERLAND EXPRESS MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
 
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR?
 
A. We anticipate long-term municipal rates to remain in a 50 basis point (or
half of one percent) trading range. The Fund's position in housing bonds is
expected to remain the same because of the high income potential they offer.

OVERLAND EXPRESS SHORT-TERM GOVERNMENT-CORPORATE INCOME FUND
 
Q. HOW DID THE SHORT-TERM GOVERNMENT-CORPORATE INCOME FUND PERFORM FOR THE SIX-
   MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1997?
 
A. The Fund posted a 2.90% total return. Return figures exclude sales charges
and reflect waived expenses.
 
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE FACTORS INFLUENCING THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
 
A. Interest rate fluctuations in reaction to and, more importantly, in
anticipation of changes in monetary policy greatly influenced the performance of
the Fund. After the Fed tightened monetary policy on March 25 by raising the
federal funds target rate from 5.25% to 5.50%, market participants anticipated
further action and interest rates peaked in early April as the yield on two-year
Treasury notes reached 6.53%.
 
Q. DO YOU ANTICIPATE FURTHER FED ACTION ON INTEREST RATES?
 
A. The Federal Reserve has rarely effected a single increase when changing
monetary policy, so additional increases seem likely. However, the federal funds
target rate is relatively high compared to the Consumer Price Index (the prime
measure of inflation), so we believe that substantial increases are unlikely.
Recent comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, however, have
increased optimism that we may finish the year without seeing another increase.
 
Q. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MARKET PRESSURES THAT AFFECT YIELDS?
 
A. There are a number of market pressures that affect yields. When the economy
is expected to grow rapidly, interest rates usually move higher in anticipation
of a Fed rate hike. Investor activity, in the form of cash flows into and out of
mutual funds, is another important factor. The dynamics of supply and demand as
managers invest shareholders' cash can drive yields higher or drag them lower.
 
Q. WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CORPORATE AND GOVERNMENT SECURITIES IN THE
   PORTFOLIO?
 
A. Corporate securities permit additional diversification in the Fund and
provide an opportunity to capture additional returns. As of June 30, 1997, 36%
of the Fund was invested in the corporate sector. Currently, the spread in
expected returns between corporate and Treasury securities is fairly narrow by
historical standards, and is expected to remain so due to the healthy economy
and a lack of supply of short-term corporate securities. If these market
conditions continue, the Fund's exposure to the corporate sector is expected to
remain between 30% and 40% with an emphasis on credit quality.

OVERLAND EXPRESS SHORT-TERM MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
 
Q. HOW DID THE SHORT-TERM MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND PERFORM FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD
   ENDED JUNE 30, 1997?
 
A. The Fund posted a 1.95% total return. Return figures exclude sales charges
and reflect waived expenses.
 
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE FACTORS INFLUENCING THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
 
A. The Fund maintained a relatively high cash position during the first half of
the year to meet liquidity needs. Longer maturities outperformed shorter
maturities, and the Fund's high cash position was a factor that caused the
Fund's performance to lag a little. Another factor that affected the Fund's
performance was market movement in interest rates. Interest rates moved lower
early in January, resulting in higher bond prices. By February, anticipation of
a federal funds target rate increase caused prices to slide. In March, the
Federal Reserve increased the federal funds target rate; interest rates peaked
for the period in early April.
 
Q. DO YOU ANTICIPATE FURTHER FEDERAL RESERVE ACTION ON INTEREST RATES?
 
A. The Fed may have to tighten interest rates again to rein in the economy.
However, this may not be necessary in the next six months if the pace of
inflation remains slow. Recent comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan
Greenspan, however, have increased optimism that we may finish the year without
seeing another increase.
 
Q. WHAT HAS THE FUND'S WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY BEEN DURING THE FIRST HALF OF
   1997? DO YOU ANTICIPATE CHANGES?
 
A. Weighted average maturity is a measure of the average length of time before
the securities in a portfolio mature on a dollar for dollar basis. Typically, a
longer weighted average maturity means the Fund is more sensitive to interest
rate changes. Average maturity was relatively short in anticipation of the
increase in the federal funds target rate that finally occurred in March.
Overall, the Fund's average maturity fluctuated between 0.9 and 1.5 years for
the first half of 1997. The average maturity will be extended slightly to 1.5
years in response to the neutral interest rate environment.
 
Q. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CONCERNS FACING THE NATIONAL MUNICIPAL MARKET?
 
A. One of the major concerns in the national municipal market is utility
deregulation. Certain municipal utilities may continue to have their outstanding
debt downgraded. All of the Fund's holdings in this sector are insured by
municipal bond insurance companies or guaranteed by government agencies, so we
do not expect the Fund to be impacted by any debt downgrades or rating agency

OVERLAND EXPRESS SHORT-TERM MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
 
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR?

municipal performance.

OVERLAND EXPRESS SMALL CAP STRATEGY FUND
 
Q. HOW DID THE SMALL CAP STRATEGY FUND PERFORM FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED
   JUNE 30, 1997?
 
A. The Fund posted a 6.97% (Class A shares) and a 6.69% (Class D shares) total
return. Return figures exclude sales charges and reflect waived expenses.
 
Q. THE FUND HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING SOME SETBACKS RECENTLY. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
   FACTORS AFFECTING THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
 
A. The Fund's recent weak performance is primarily due to its ownership of
smaller capitalization growth stocks. Small cap stocks are generally subject to
higher risk and risk is exactly what many investors have been trying to avoid in
widespread moves toward large company stocks. This move to large company stocks
has been fueled, in part, by fears of higher inflation and fears of earnings
disappointments. By late April, the trend of underperformance by the small cap,
high growth sector began to change. In May and June smaller cap issues staged a
significant turnaround and the Fund's performance improved in the second
quarter. Technology and healthcare companies have been quite strong as investors
looked for undervalued situations. With most second quarter earnings meeting
analysts expectations, we believe these smaller capitalization stocks should do
very well through the rest of 1997.
 
Q. ALTHOUGH THE SMALL CAPITALIZATION SECTOR HAS ENJOYED A RECENT TURNAROUND, HAS
   THE PRIOR UNDERPERFORMANCE CHANGED YOUR FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK?
 
A. No. We are still very optimistic in our outlook for small cap stocks. In our
opinion, the underlying foundation for the bull market--low inflation and solid
earnings growth--remains intact. We also believe that the earnings growth
prospects for smaller companies are especially attractive given their current
reduced valuations.
 
Q. WHAT ARE THE SPECIAL PROBLEMS FACED BY A SMALL CAP FUND DURING A GENERAL
   MARKET DECLINE? IS THERE A POTENTIAL LIQUIDITY PROBLEM AS MONEY RETREATS TO
   "SAFER" INVESTMENTS?
 
A. A large part of the decline prior to April's resurgence was due to the lack
of liquidity in small cap stocks. However, small cap stocks are always less
liquid than larger cap issues, even when the market is going up. Due to the
relatively small size of this Fund, liquidity has not been a major problem in
selling holdings or establishing new positions. The other factor that affected
growth stocks was a severe contraction in price-to-earnings multiples. This
factor is improving as fears of higher interest rates have subsided.
 
Q. THE FUND IS REQUIRED TO SELL A COMPANY'S STOCK WHEN THE COMPANY REACHES TWO
   BILLION DOLLARS IN CAPITALIZATION. SHORT OF REACHING THAT FIGURE, WHAT ARE
   SOME OTHER FACTORS IN YOUR "SELL DISCIPLINE?"
 
A. We continually review our holdings and will sell for a variety of reasons.
Some of the key reasons might include a negative change in a company's
fundamentals, a stock price becoming significantly overvalued relative to its
expected growth rate, a concern about the management team or its effectiveness,
or a more compelling opportunity in another stock presents itself elsewhere.
 
                                                                         17

OVERLAND EXPRESS SMALL CAP STRATEGY FUND
 
Q. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR IN A COMPANY'S MANAGEMENT TEAM?
 
A. Management is an important criterion we use when evaluating a company. Due to
the smaller size of the companies we buy, the ability of management is very
instrumental in our decision to invest in a company's stock. We expect
management to own a substantial amount of stock and have their bonuses tied to
the earnings of the company and/or the performance of the stock.

A. The Fund posted a 0.33% (Class A shares) and 0.00% (Class D shares) total
return. Return figures exclude sales charges and reflect waived expenses. The
Strategic Growth Fund invests in the Capital Appreciation Master Portfolio.
 
Q. WHY IS PERFORMANCE DOWN FOR THE PERIOD?
 
A. This Fund tends to focus on smaller, more volatile stocks that are often
somewhat less liquid than large company stocks. Because many investors have been
concerned about the potential for higher interest rates and slower earnings
growth, the market has shown a significant preference for large company stocks
and other highly liquid issues. These stocks are perceived as "safer" and
generally can be traded in large amounts without a pronounced adverse effect on
the price. When investors' dollars flow towards large stocks, small company
stocks with emerging growth characteristics tend to suffer.
 
The trend towards large stocks began to reverse during the last part of April
and has continued through the end of the reporting period. Investors now appear
willing to look at company fundamentals and the longer-term outlook for growth
stocks. As a result, small and mid-cap growth stocks have rebounded sharply and
the Fund has benefited. Technology and health care issues have led the rally,
and we feel that many of these companies have more room to move on the upside.
The oil service sector has been quite strong lately as fears of over-capacity
and weak oil prices have subsided. Earnings for the second quarter were quite
good and share prices are responding to the good news. We feel we are well
positioned for the recovery that we believe is occurring in the growth sector of
the market.
 
Q. HAS THE VOLATILITY IN THE TECHNOLOGY, HEALTHCARE AND OIL SERVICE SECTORS
   CHANGED YOUR FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK?
 
A. We have not changed our outlook on the technology, healthcare or oil service
sectors. In fact, we regard the correction in these sectors as a buying
opportunity and increased our exposure at what we believe are attractive prices.
 
Q. DURING A PERIOD OF GENERAL MARKET DECLINE, WHAT ARE SOME OF THE STEPS YOU
   TAKE TO CAPTURE VALUE FOR INVESTORS?
 
A. The important point is that we do not change our style or investment strategy
in response to short-term market conditions. We focus on issues whose long-term
fundamentals remain attractive within our growth strategy. We believe that solid
companies with favorable long-term growth rates will not fall as far in a
decline and will rebound when the market turns. We believe such companies and
their respective stock prices will eventually respond to their fundamental
strengths. Of course, we also are always looking for favorable short-term
tactical opportunities. Market declines often create such opportunities, but
they do not represent a change in our basic approach. Despite some recent
setbacks, it is our firm belief that the real value in the market today lies in
the aggressive growth sector.
 
Q. WHEN DO YOU TYPICALLY SELL A HOLDING?
 
A. Our sell discipline is based on company fundamentals. If a company's growth
rate no longer meets our expectations then we generally sell the position. One
indicator is a company's forward
 
                                                                         19

price-to-earnings ratio. This means that we examine the company's expected
earnings, compare them to the stock price and sell if we do not believe the
future earnings will justify continued price growth. This is part of our "bottom
up" approach of examining the fundamentals of a particular company rather than
focusing on general trends in the economy.
 
Q. WHAT MAKES A PARTICULAR FOREIGN INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVE? IS IT THE COMPANY'S
   FUNDAMENTALS OR THE OUTLOOK ON THE PARTICULAR COUNTRY'S ECONOMY?
 
A. We do not treat foreign investment as a sector, nor do we shift investments
"off-shore" in response to some economic trend. For any investment, foreign or
domestic, it is always the company's fundamentals that matter most. For us the
key factors are always earnings growth, company management, and the company's
competitive position. Of course, the political and economic circumstances of a
particular country can influence the fundamentals, and to this extent, a
particular country's political and economic conditions are factors in our
investment decisions.
 
Q. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR IN A COMPANY'S MANAGEMENT TEAM?
 
A. In brief, we are looking for experience, competence and incentive to perform.
We are especially interested in whether management has an equity stake in the
company. If management has an equity stake in the company, they tend to be very
shareholder-driven.

THE STRATEGIC GROWTH FUND IS ORGANIZED AS A "MASTER-FEEDER" STRUCTURE. INSTEAD
OF INVESTING DIRECTLY IN A PORTFOLIO OF SECURITIES, THE FEEDER FUND, WHICH IS
OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC, HOLDS INTEREST IN THE CAPITAL APPRECIATION MASTER
PORTFOLIO (THE "MASTER PORTFOLIO") WHICH IN TURN, INVESTS IN INDIVIDUAL
SECURITIES. PRIOR TO FEBRUARY 20, 1996, THE FUND INVESTED DIRECTLY IN PORTFOLIO
SECURITIES. ON FEBRUARY 20, 1996, THE FUND'S ASSETS WERE TRANSFERRED TO THE
MASTER PORTFOLIO AND THE FUND AND THE MASTER PORTFOLIO COMMENCED OPERATIONS AS A
MASTER-FEEDER STRUCTURE. REFERENCES TO THE FUND ARE TO THE FEEDER OR MASTER, AS
THE CONTEXT REQUIRES.

OVERLAND EXPRESS U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND
 
Q. HOW DID THE U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND PERFORM FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD
   ENDED JUNE  30, 1997?
 
A. The Fund posted a 2.65% (Class A shares) and 2.16% (Class D shares) total
return. Return figures exclude sales charges and reflect waived expenses.
 
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE FACTORS INFLUENCING THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
 
A. The major factor influencing the Fund's performance was the allocation of
assets in its portfolio. The Fund is managed with a "top-down" approach. This
means that we make investments based on broad economic trends, particularly in
regard to the expected movement of interest rates. Based on this, the Fund
invested nearly two-thirds of its assets in mortgaged-backed securities. Within
the mortgage sector, the portfolio held mostly current coupon and premium coupon
securities. These securities, with their higher coupon and relatively low
prepayments, provided the Fund with higher levels of income and better than
expected price performance due to lower than expected prepayment rates.
Mortgages outperformed government securities by more than 125 basis points, or
1.25%, according to the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, which
was up 3.92% as opposed to the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index, which was
up 2.63%. The duration of the Fund's portfolio, a measure of the Fund's
sensitivity to interest rate changes, was relatively short until May, when it
was increased to take advantage of the fall in market interest rates.
 
Q. DO YOU ANTICIPATE FURTHER FEDERAL RESERVE ACTION ON INTEREST RATES?
 
A. We do not expect the Federal Reserve Bank to change monetary policy in the
near term because we believe economic growth will be sustainable at current
levels without sparking inflation. During the second quarter, economic growth
slowed down from the blistering 5.9% growth rate of the first quarter. Current
projections are for the economy to grow at a 1.5-2.5% rate for the remainder of
the year. Inflation continues to be subdued; the Consumer Price Index is
currently at 2.2%, the lowest level in 15 years, and the Producer Price Index is
at 0.3%, the lowest level since 1994.
 
Q. DO YOU THINK MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER SPECIAL
   ADVANTAGES IN THIS ENVIRONMENT?
 
A. Year to date, mortgage-backed securities generally have provided excellent
returns due to very low interest rate volatility and low prepayment risk.
However, interest rates have moved down (almost 0.75% from the April highs) and
as of June 30, 1997, mortgage-backed securities traded below the 6.255 level on
the 10-year note. This is a threshold where many homeowners will look to
refinance their mortgages, putting downward price pressure on mortgages. As a
result, we will continue to re-evaluate.

OVERLAND EXPRESS U.S. TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND
 
Q. WHAT WAS THE SEVEN-DAY YIELD AS OF JUNE 30, 1997?
 
A. The seven-day yield for Class A shares of the Fund as of June 30, 1997 was
4.97%. The yield as of December 31, 1996 was 4.32%.
 
Q. WAS THE HIGHER YIELD THE RESULT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE'S ACTION IN RAISING
   THE FEDERAL FUNDS TARGET RATE?
 
A. Only in part. Yields change daily as notes are sold on the open market. It is
important to keep an eye on the general trend in yields rather than draw
conclusions based on a single-day "snapshot" of current returns. The Wall Street
Journal's Market Diary section, for example, publishes a useful graph tracking
interest rates for investors interested in following this sort of information.
You can see from that graph that there are frequent spikes and valleys in
interest rates--and therefore in money market fund returns--based on market
pressures even without Fed action.
 
Q. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MARKET PRESSURES THAT AFFECT YIELDS?
 
A. There are a number of influences. If the economy is expected to grow rapidly,
interest rates usually move higher in anticipation of a federal funds target
rate hike. Cash flows into money market mutual funds are another important
factor. The dynamics of supply and demand as managers invest shareholders' cash
can drive yields higher or drag them lower, particularly for variable rate
securities.
 
Q. WHAT DOES "WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY" TELL US ABOUT THE FUND? HOW HAS IT
   CHANGED DURING THE PERIOD?
 
A. Weighted average maturity is a measure of the average length of time before
securities in a portfolio mature on a dollar for dollar basis. It is one of the
measures of a fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes. Funds with longer
maturities generally are more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
Typically, for a money market mutual fund, managers will increase maturity to
lock in higher rates or shorten maturity if they anticipate higher rates being
available soon. Market forces may also make one range relatively more attractive
than another. For the most part, the weighted average maturity for these Funds
has been fairly steady and in the short-to-intermediate range of 45 to 60 days.
 
Q. SINCE THE FEDERAL RESERVE RAISED THE FEDERAL FUNDS TARGET RATE IN MARCH, DO
   YOU EXPECT FURTHER ACTION?
 
A. The Federal Reserve has rarely effected a single increase when changing
monetary policy, so additional increases seem likely. However, the federal funds
target rate is relatively high compared to the Consumer Price Index (the prime
measure of inflation), so we believe that substantial increases are unlikely.
Recent comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, however, have
increased optimism that we may finish the year without seeing another increase.
 
ALTHOUGH THE FUND SEEKS TO MAINTAIN A $1.00 PER SHARE NET ASSET VALUE, THERE IS
NO ASSURANCE THAT IT WILL MEET THIS OBJECTIVE.

OVERLAND EXPRESS VARIABLE RATE GOVERNMENT FUND
 
Q. HOW DID THE VARIABLE RATE GOVERNMENT FUND PERFORM FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD
   ENDED JUNE 30, 1997?
 
A. The Fund posted a 3.35% (Class A shares) and 3.10% (Class D shares) total
return. Return figures exclude sales charges and reflect waived expenses.
 
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE FACTORS INFLUENCING THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
 
A. The Fund benefited from an underweighting in Cost-of-Funds Index-based
Adjustable Rate Mortgages ("COFI-based ARMS"). Only 8.00% of the portfolio was
invested in these instruments, compared to the 21.00% for our market benchmark,
the Lehman Brothers ARM Index. According to the Lehman Brothers ARM Index,
COFI-based ARMs underperformed the market by 85 basis points (2.59% vs. 3.44%).
The portfolio maintained a duration that was neutral to the benchmark.
 
Q. DO YOU ANTICIPATE FURTHER FEDERAL RESERVE ACTION ON INTEREST RATES?
 
A. We do not expect the Federal Reserve Bank to change monetary policy in the
near future because we believe economic growth will be sustainable at current
levels without sparking inflation. During the second quarter, economic growth
slowed down from the blistering 5.9% growth rate in the first quarter. We expect
the economy to grow at a 1.5-2.5% rate for the remainder of the year. Inflation
remains minimal; the Consumer Price Index is currently at 2.2%, its lowest level
in 15 years, and the Producer Price Index is at 0.3%, its lowest level since
1994.
 
Q. WHEN THE FED DOES ADJUST RATES, HOW DOES IT AFFECT THE SECURITIES IN THE
   FUND'S PORTFOLIO?
 
A. Changes in monetary policy can affect securities in the Fund's portfolio in
several ways. The coupon on most ARMs is based on short-term interest rates.
When the Fed changes monetary policy, it directly affects short-term interest
rates and coupon rates will move up or down. Also, changes in monetary policy
can increase the risk of prepayments on ARMs. As interest rates decline,
homeowners refinance ARMs into fixed-rate mortgages with lower monthly mortgage
payments. Unexpected changes in monetary policy can increase interest-rate
volatility, making ARMs a less attractive investment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
ORGANIZATION
 
Overland Express Funds, Inc. (the "Company") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end series
management investment company. The Company commenced operations on April 7, 1988
and consists of twelve separate diversified funds: the Index Allocation, Money
Market, Municipal Income, National Tax-Free Institutional Money Market, Overland
Sweep, Short-Term Government-Corporate Income, Short-Term Municipal Income,
Small Cap Strategy, Strategic Growth, U.S. Government Income, U.S. Treasury
Money Market and Variable Rate Government Funds, and two non-diversified funds:
the California Tax-Free Bond and California Tax-Free Money Market Funds.
Financial statements for the Overland Sweep and National Tax-Free Institutional
Money Market Funds are presented separately.
 
On February 14, 1997, the Overland Express Asset Allocation Fund's name was
changed to the Overland Express Index Allocation Fund.
 
The California Tax-Free Bond, Index Allocation, Municipal Income, Small Cap
Strategy, Strategic Growth, U.S. Government Income and Variable Rate Government
Funds each offers Class A and Class D shares. The Money Market and U.S. Treasury
Money Market Funds each offers Class A and Institutional Class shares. The
California Tax-Free Money Market, Short-Term Government-Corporate Income and
Short-Term Municipal Income Funds each offers a single class of shares. The
three classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if
any), distribution fees, shareholder servicing fees and transfer agency fees.
Shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that
particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn
income from the portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each
class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared
separately for each class. Gains are allocated to each class pro rata based on
the net assets of each class on the date of distribution. No class has
preferential dividend rights. Differences in per share dividend rates generally
result from the relative weightings of pro rata income and gain allocations and
from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution, shareholder
servicing and transfer agency fees.
 
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the
Company in the preparation of its financial statements, and such policies are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for investment
companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates should not be
considered an indication of actual or expected figures; actual results may
differ.
 
                                                                        119

INVESTMENT POLICY AND SECURITY VALUATION
 
Equity securities, for which the primary market is a national securities
exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
("NASDAQ") system, are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of
valuation. U.S. Government obligations are valued at the reported bid price. In
the absence of any sale of such securities on the valuation date and in the case
of other securities, excluding money market instruments maturing in 60 days or
less, the valuations are based on latest quoted bid prices. Debt securities
maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. The amortized cost
method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or
minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity, which approximates
market value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are
valued at fair value as determined by policies set by the Company's Board of
Directors, or, in the case of the Master Investment Trust (the "Trust"), by the
Trust's Board of Trustees.
 
The California Tax-Free Money Market, Money Market and U.S. Treasury Money
Market Funds use the amortized cost method to value their portfolio securities
and invest in securities with remaining maturities not exceeding 397 days
(thirteen months). Certain floating- and variable-rate instruments in the
portfolios may have maturities in excess of 397 days, but carry a demand feature
that permits the holder to tender the instruments back to the issuer at par
value prior to maturity. The California Tax-Free Money Market, Money Market and
U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds also seek to maintain a constant net asset
value of $1.00 per share, although there is no assurance that the funds will be
able to do so.
 
The Short-Term Government-Corporate Income, Short-Term Municipal Income, Small
Cap Strategy and Strategic Growth Funds invest only in beneficial interests
("Interests") of the Short-Term Government-Corporate Income, Short-Term
Municipal Income, Small Cap and Capital Appreciation Master Portfolios (the
"Master Portfolios"), respectively, of the Trust. Each Master Portfolio has the
same investment objective as the Fund that invests in that Master Portfolio. The
value of the Funds' investment in the Master Portfolios reflects the Funds'
Interest in the net assets of the Master Portfolios. As of June 30, 1997, the
Short-Term Government-Corporate Income, Short-Term Municipal Income, Small Cap
Strategy and Strategic Growth Funds owned approximately 99.99%, 99.99%, 9.87%
and 74.81% of the outstanding Interests of the Short-Term Government-Corporate
Income, Short-Term Municipal Income, Small Cap and Capital Appreciation Master
Portfolios, respectively. Except during temporary defensive periods, the
Short-Term Government-Corporate Income and Short-Term Municipal Income Master
Portfolios each seek to maintain a portfolio of securities with an average
weighted maturity of between 90 days to 2 years.
 
Cash equivalents relating to firm commitment purchase agreements are segregated
by the custodian and may not be sold without appropriate replacement while any
firm commitment purchase agreement is outstanding.
 
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
 
Security transactions are recorded no later than one business day after trade
date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income
is accrued daily. Realized gains or losses
 
    120
<PAGE>
OVERLAND EXPRESS FUNDS, INC.
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered. Bond
discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as required by the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
 
TBA PURCHASE COMMITMENTS
 
The Variable Rate Government Fund enters into "TBA" (to be announced) purchase
commitments to purchase securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond
customary settlement time. Although the unit price of a TBA purchase commitment
has been established; the principal value has not been finalized. However, the
amount of the commitment will not fluctuate more than 2% from the principal
amount. The Fund holds, and maintains until the settlement date, cash or
high-quality debt obligations in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase
price. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities in themselves, and
involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines
prior to the settlement date. This risk is in addition to the risk of decline in
the value of the Fund's other assets. Unsettled TBA purchase commitments are
valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally
according to the procedures described under "Security Valuation" above.
 
Although the Fund generally enters into TBA purchase commitments with the
intention of acquiring securities for its portfolio, the Fund may dispose of a
commitment prior to settlement if the Fund's adviser deems it appropriate to do
so. The Fund did not hold any TBA purchase commitments at June 30, 1997.
 
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
Transactions involving purchases of securities under agreements to resell such
securities ("repurchase agreements") are treated as collateralized financing
transactions and are recorded at their contracted resale amounts. These
repurchase agreements, if any, are detailed in each Fund's and the Master
Portfolio's (in this paragraph, the "Funds") Portfolio of Investments. The Funds
may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds
advised by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("WFB"). The repurchase agreements must be
fully collateralized based on values that are marked to market daily. The
collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the
custodian's responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to
obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or
greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements held in the Funds are
collateralized by instruments such as U.S. Treasury or federal agency
obligations.
 
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
Dividends from net investment income of the Index Allocation Fund, if any, are
declared and distributed quarterly. Dividends from net investment income of the
Small Cap Strategy and Strategic Growth Funds, if any, are declared and
distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income of the California
Tax-Free Bond, California Tax-Free Money Market, Money Market, Municipal Income,
Short-Term Government-Corporate Income, Short-Term Municipal Income, U.S.
 
                                                                        121

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
Government Income, U.S. Treasury Money Market and Variable Rate Government
Funds, if any, are declared daily and distributed monthly. Any distributions to
shareholders from net realized capital gains are declared and distributed
annually.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is
the policy of each Fund of the Company to continue to qualify as a regulated
investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated
investment companies, as defined in the Code, and to make distributions of
substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized
capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to
relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no
provision for federal income taxes was required at December 31, 1996. The
following Funds had net capital loss carryforwards at December 31, 1996:

The Company's Board of Directors intends to offset net capital gains with each
capital loss carryforward, and no capital gain distribution shall be made until
each carryforward has been fully utilized or expires.
 
Due to the timing of dividend distributions and the differences in accounting
for income and realized gains (losses) for financial statement and federal
income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ
from the year in which the income and realized gains (losses) were recorded by
the portfolio. The differences between the income or gains distributed on a book
versus tax basis are shown as excess distributions of net investment income and
net realized gain on sales of investments in the accompanying Statements of
Changes in Net Assets.

ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
 
The Funds have been charged for expenses incurred in connection with the
organization and initial registration of the various Funds and/or classes of
shares. These expenses are being amortized by the Funds on a straight-line basis
over 60 months from the date the Funds and/or classes commenced operations.
 
2.   AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
The Company has entered into separate advisory contracts on behalf of the Funds,
other than the Short-Term Government-Corporate Income, Short-Term Municipal
Income, Small Cap Strategy and Strategic Growth Funds, with WFB. Pursuant to the
contracts, WFB has agreed to provide the Funds with daily portfolio management.
Under the contract with the Index Allocation Fund, WFB is entitled to be paid a
monthly advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net
assets up to $500 million and 0.60% of the average daily net assets in excess of
$500 million. Under the contracts with the California Tax-Free Bond, Municipal
Income, U.S. Government Income and Variable Rate Government Funds, WFB is
entitled to be paid a monthly advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.50% of each
Fund's average daily net assets. Under the contract with the California Tax-Free
Money Market Fund, WFB is entitled to be paid a monthly advisory fee at the
annual rate of 0.45% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Under the contracts
with the Money Market and U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds, WFB is entitled to
be paid a monthly advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of each Fund's
average daily net assets.
 
The Short-Term Government-Corporate Income, Short-Term Municipal Income, Small
Cap Strategy and Strategic Growth Funds do not directly retain an investment
adviser because each Fund invests all of its assets in a separate Master
Portfolio which, in turn, retains WFB as investment adviser.
 
Barclays Global Fund Advisors ("BGFA") currently acts as sub-adviser to the
Index Allocation Fund. BGFA is entitled to receive from WFB, as compensation for
its sub-advisory services, an annual fee of $60,000 and a monthly fee at the
annual rate of 0.20% of the Index Allocation Fund's average daily net assets.
BGFA is an indirect subsidiary of Barclays Bank PLC.
 
The Company has entered into contracts on behalf of each Fund (other than the
Index Allocation Fund, for which Barclays Global Investors, N.A. ("BGI") serves
as custodian) with WFB, whereby WFB is responsible for providing custody and
portfolio accounting services for the Funds. Pursuant to the contracts, WFB is
entitled to certain transaction charges plus an annual fee for custody services
at the annual rate of 0.0167% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. For
portfolio accounting services, WFB is entitled to a monthly base fee from each

Short-Term Government-Corporate Income, Short-Term Municipal Income and U.S.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
have agreed to provide shareholder liaison services, including responding to
customer inquiries and providing information on their investments, and providing
such other related services as the Fund or a Class D shareholder may reasonably
request. For these services, a servicing agent receives a fee, on an annualized
basis for the Fund's then-current fiscal year, not to exceed 0.25% of the
average daily net assets of the Class D shares of the Fund.
 
Shareholder servicing fees paid on behalf of Class D shares for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.
 
WFB as administrator and Stephens Inc. ("Stephens") as co-administrator provide
each Fund with administration services. For these services, WFB and Stephens are
entitled to receive monthly fees at the annual rates of 0.04% and 0.02%,
respectively, of each Fund's average daily net assets. Prior to May 1, 1997,
Stephens provided substantially the same services as sole administrator to the
Funds. Under the previous agreements, the California Tax-Free Bond, Short-Term
Government-Corporate Income, Short-Term Municipal Income, Strategic Growth and
Variable Rate Government Funds had each agreed to pay Stephens a monthly fee at
the annual rate of 0.15% of each such Funds' average daily net assets up to $200
million and 0.10% of the average daily net assets in excess of $200 million; and
the California Tax-Free Money Market, Index Allocation and U.S. Government
Income Funds had each agreed to pay Stephens a monthly fee at the annual rate of
0.10% of each such Fund's average daily net assets up to $200 million and 0.05%
of the average daily net assets in excess of $200 million. Also under the
previous agreement, the Money Market, Municipal Income, Small Cap Strategy and
U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds had each agreed to pay Stephens a monthly fee
at the annual rate of 0.10% of each such Fund's average daily net assets.
 
The Company has adopted separate Distribution Plans for Class A and Class D
shares of the Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (each, a "Plan").
The Plan for Class A shares of the California Tax-Free Bond, California Tax-Free
Money Market and U.S. Government Income Funds provides that each such Fund may
defray all or part of the cost of preparing, printing and distributing
prospectuses and other promotional materials by paying for cost incurred on an
annual basis up to the greater of $100,000 or 0.05% of each such Fund's average
daily net assets attributable to the Class A shares. Each Fund may participate
in joint distribution activities with the other Funds, in which event expenses
reimbursed out of the assets of one of the Funds may be attributable, in part,
to the distribution-related activities of another Fund. Generally, the expenses
of joint distribution activities are allocated among the Funds in proportion to
their relative net asset sizes.
 
Under the Plan for Class A shares of the Index Allocation, Money Market,
Municipal Income, Short-Term Government-Corporate, Short-Term Municipal Income,
Small Cap Strategy, Strategic Growth, U.S. Treasury Money Market and Variable
Rate Government Funds, each Fund may pay Stephens, as compensation for
distribution-related services, a monthly fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of
the average daily net assets attributable to the Class A shares of such Funds.
Payments under the Plan for the Class A shares of the Municipal Income Fund are
currently capped by WFB and Stephens at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average
daily net assets attributable to the Class A shares of the Fund.

reorganization was effective on February 20, 1996.

7.   REORGANIZATION OF SMALL CAP STRATEGY FUND
 
The Small Cap Strategy Fund commenced operations on September 16, 1996. The
Small Cap Strategy Fund invests only in interests of the Small Cap Master
Portfolio. The Small Cap Master Portfolio is the successor to certain assets of
the Small Capitalization Growth Fund for Employee Retirement Plans, a collective
investment fund (the "Collective Investment Fund"). The Collective Investment
Fund was a private, non-registered investment fund previously managed by WFB.
Immediately prior to the commencement of the Small Cap Strategy Fund's
operations, the assets of the Collective Investment Fund were purchased by the
Small Cap Master Portfolio and the Collective Investment Fund redeemed all of
its outstanding interests and ceased operations. The Small Cap Master Portfolio
manages its investments in a manner identical in all material respects to the
operation of the Collective Investment Fund.
 
8.   VARIABLE RATE GOVERNMENT FUND LITIGATION
 
Certain shareholders of the Variable Rate Government Fund filed a class action
lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
California against the Overland Express Variable Rate Government Fund (the VRG
Fund), WFB, Wells Fargo & Company and Stephens. The lawsuit asserted claims
under federal and California securities law and the common law relating to
alleged misstatements and omissions in the prospectus, reports and marketing
materials pertaining to the VRG Fund and derivative claims on behalf of the VRG
fund against WFB, Wells Fargo & Company and Stephens. The plaintiffs and
defendants settled all claims in the class action, and the settlement was
approved by the Court on March 10, 1997. The VRG Fund was not required to
contribute to the settlement fund under the terms of the settlement agreement.
 
                                                                        129

9.   REORGANIZATION OF OVERLAND EXPRESS FUNDS, INC.
 
At a meeting held on July 23, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved an
Agreement and Plan of Consolidation to reorganize Overland Express Funds, Inc.
into Stagecoach Funds, Inc. This Plan of Consolidation is subject to approval by
Overland Express Fund shareholders. The agreement provides, among other things,
for the transfer of assets and liabilities of each Overland Express Fund (each a
"Predecessor Fund") to a corresponding series of Stagecoach Funds, Inc. (each a
"Stagecoach Fund"). The Agreement provides that each Stagecoach Fund will assume
certain identified liabilities of the corresponding Predecessor Fund and will
deliver to that Predecessor Fund shares of common stock of the Stagecoach Fund
having an aggregate net asset value equivalent to the aggregate net asset value
of the assets transferred to the Stagecoach Fund by the Predecessor Fund
(collectively, the "Consolidation"). At the time of Consolidation, the Funds
that currently are structured as "feeder" Funds in a "master-feeder" structure
will be restructured to invest directly in a portfolio of securities, rather
than to invest in portfolio securities through a "master" Fund. The
Consolidation is expected to be a tax-free exchange.
 
Dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, of
the Predecessor Funds will be distributed to Overland Express Fund shareholders
prior to the Consolidation. The Consolidation is expected to close in December,
1997. All of the expenses incurred in connection with the Consolidation will be
paid by Wells Fargo or Stephens.

MASTER INVESTMENT TRUST
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
ORGANIZATION
 
The Capital Appreciation, Short-Term Municipal Income, Short-Term
Government-Corporate Income and Small Cap Master Portfolios (the "Master
Portfolios") are four series of Master Investment Trust (the "Trust"), a
business trust organized under the laws of Delaware on August 14, 1991. The
Trust is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. The Declaration of Trust permits the issuance of beneficial
interests. The Trust currently issues nine series of investment portfolios: the
Asset Allocation, Capital Appreciation, Cash Investment Trust, Corporate Stock,
Tax-Free Money Market, Short-Term Government-Corporate Income, Short-Term
Municipal Income, Small Cap and U.S. Government Allocation Master Portfolios.
These financial statements represent only the Capital Appreciation, Short-Term
Government-Corporate Income, Short-Term Municipal Income and Small Cap Master
Portfolios.
 
The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the
Trust in the preparation of its financial statements, and such policies are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for investment
companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP for
investment companies requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates
should not be considered an indication of actual or expected figures; actual
results may differ.
 
INVESTMENT POLICY AND SECURITY VALUATION
 
Equity securities, for which the primary market is a national securities
exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
("NASDAQ") system, are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of
valuation. U.S. Government obligations are valued at the reported bid price. In
the absence of any sale of such securities on the valuation date and in the case
of other securities, excluding money market instruments maturing in 60 days or
less, the valuations are based on latest quoted bid prices. Debt securities
maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. The amortized cost
method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or
minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity, which approximates
market value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are
valued at fair value as determined by policies set by the Trust's Board of
Trustees. Except during temporary defensive periods, the Short-Term
Government-Corporate Income and Short-Term Municipal Income Master Portfolios
each seek to maintain a portfolio of securities with an average weighted
maturity of between 90 days to 2 years.
 
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
 
Security transactions are recorded no later than one business day after trade
date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income
is accrued daily. Realized gains and
 
                                                                        153
<PAGE>
MASTER INVESTMENT TRUST
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered.
Bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as required by the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
 
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
Transactions involving purchases of securities under agreements to resell such
securities ("repurchase agreements") are treated as collateralized financing
transactions and are recorded at their contracted resale amounts. These
repurchase agreements, if any, are detailed in each Master Portfolio's Portfolio
of Investments. The Master Portfolios may participate in pooled repurchase
agreement transactions with other funds advised by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
("WFB"). The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values
that are marked to market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank
under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian's responsibility to value
collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary
to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price. Repurchase
agreements held in the Funds are collateralized by instruments such as U.S.
Treasury or federal agency obligations.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
Each Master Portfolio intends to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a
partnership. Management, therefore, believes that each Master Portfolio will not
be subject to any federal or state income tax on its income and net capital
gains (if any). However, each investor in a Master Portfolio will be taxed on
its distributive share of the partnership's income for purposes of determining
its federal and state income tax liabilities. The determination of such share
will be made in accordance with the Code, and the regulations promulgated
thereunder.
 
It is intended that the Master Portfolios' assets, income, gain/loss and
allocations will be managed in such a way that a regulated investment company
investing in a Master Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Code, assuming that the investment company invests all of
its assets in a Master Portfolio.
 
ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
 
The Master Portfolios have been charged for expenses incurred in connection with
the organization and initial registration of the Master Portfolios. These
expenses are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 60 months from the
date each Master Portfolio commenced operations.
 
2.   AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
The Trust has entered into advisory contracts on behalf of each Master Portfolio
with WFB. Pursuant to the contracts, WFB has agreed to provide each Master
Portfolio with daily portfolio management. Under the contracts with the Capital
Appreciation, Short-Term Government-Corporate Income and Short-Term Municipal
Income Master Portfolios, WFB is entitled to receive a monthly advisory fee at
 
    154
<PAGE>
MASTER INVESTMENT TRUST
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
an annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of each Master
Portfolio. Under the contract with the Small Cap Master Portfolio, WFB is
entitled to receive a monthly advisory fee at an annual rate of 0.60% of average
daily net assets of the Master Portfolio.
 
The Trust has entered into a contract on behalf of the Master Portfolios with
WFB, whereby WFB is responsible for providing custody and portfolio accounting
services to each Master Portfolio. Pursuant to the contract, WFB is entitled to
certain transaction charges plus a custody fee at an annual rate of 0.0167% of
the average daily net assets of each Master Portfolio. For providing portfolio
accounting services, WFB is entitled to receive a monthly base fee of $2,000
plus an annual fee of 0.07% of the first $50 million of each Master Portfolio's
average daily net assets, 0.045% of the next $50 million, and 0.02% of each
Master Portfolio's average daily net assets in excess of $100 million.

    On July 23, 1997 the Board of Directors of Overland Express Funds, Inc.
("Overland") approved an Agreement and Plan of Consolidation with Stagecoach
Funds, Inc. ("Stagecoach"), another open-end management investment company
advised by Wells Fargo Bank, to consolidate each Overland Fund with and into
certain new or existing Stagecoach Funds which have (except as described below)
the same or similar investment objectives and policies (the "Consolidation"). If
the Consolidation is approved by shareholders of the Overland Funds, they will
become shareholders of a corresponding Stagecoach Fund, as indicated in the
chart below. At closing, they will receive shares of the designated class of the
corresponding Stagecoach Fund having a total value equal to the total value of
the shares of the Overland Fund held by the shareholder immediately before the
closing. The Consolidation is expected to close on or about December 15, 1997.

    If the Consolidation is approved, shareholders of Overland's Municipal
Income and U.S. Government Income Funds will become shareholders of the
Stagecoach National Tax-Free and Ginnie Mae Funds, respectively. Investors
should be aware of the following differences in these Funds. Although the
Municipal Income Fund and National Tax-Free Fund each invests a significant
portion of its assets in securities exempt from federal income taxes, the
Municipal Income Fund generally invests at least 80% of its assets in securities
that may be subject to the alternative minimum tax, and the National Tax-Free
Fund generally invests no more than 20% of its assets in such securities. The
Ginnie Mae Fund currently invests primarily in Ginnie Mae securities. If the
Consolidation is approved, the Ginnie Mae Fund will pursue an investment policy
of investing primarily in a broader array of mortgage pass-through securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
 
    At the July 23, 1997 meeting, the Overland Board of Directors, subject to
the approval of Class D shareholders of the Overland California Tax-Free Bond,
Municipal Income and U.S. Government Income Funds, approved an increase in the
Rule 12b-1 distribution fee payable under the Class C Rule 12b-1 Plan of the
corresponding Stagecoach Funds, from 0.50% to 0.75% of the average daily net
assets of the Class C shares of such Stagecoach Funds. The increase is intended
to encourage the Funds' selling agents to devote sufficient resources to
marketing the Funds' Class C shares. Although the Rule 12b-1 fee payable by the
Class C shares of the corresponding Stagecoach Funds will increase, Wells Fargo
Bank and Stephens Inc. have agreed to waive or reimburse certain other fees so
that the total operating expenses payable by the Class C shares will remain at
the current level paid by Class D shares of the corresponding Overland Funds
through December 31, 1998.
 
    Overland shareholders on the record date (currently expected to be September
30, 1997) are eligible to vote on issues relating to the Consolidation and will
be sent additional information. Shareholders who make an initial investment
after the record date will not be eligible to vote, but may obtain additional
information by calling 1-800-572-7797.
 
    In addition, if the Consolidation is completed as anticipated, any Fund that
currently is part of a master-feeder structure will be reorganized into a
stand-alone Fund. This means that each such Fund will withdraw its investment in
the corresponding Master Portfolio and instead will invest directly in a
portfolio of securities. Each such Fund will retain Wells Fargo Bank, the
investment adviser to the Master Portfolios, to manage its assets directly, in
substantially the same manner as Wells Fargo Bank currently manages each Master
Portfolio's assets and for the same advisory fee level.
