Dear Fellow Shareholder,

Tax-free investing provides more than an opportunity to generate State of Hawaii and federal tax-free income. Tax-free investing offers Hawaii investors a unique means of supporting local projects designed to enrich our community. The money raised through municipal bonds is commonly used to build schools, hospitals, roads, airports, harbors, and water and electrical systems that serve to create jobs, boost the local economy and improve the quality of life here in our islands.

As we begin our 13th year of operations, we are pleased to provide you with our Funds’ 2000 Annual Report.

The primary investment strategy of the First Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund’s investment manager was to invest in long-term investment grade Hawaii municipal bonds. The primary investment strategy of the First Hawaii Intermediate Municipal Fund’s investment manager was to invest in three to ten year investment grade Hawaii municipal bonds. There were a few primary factors that produced the past year’s performance. In particular, an expanding U.S. economy coupled with a tight labor market prompted the Federal Reserve Board to raise the discount rate four times during the Funds’ fiscal year. This action by the Federal Reserve Board depressed prices for certain fixed income securities. In addition, the Funds positions in hospital bonds adversely affected performance as the health care sector came under pricing pressure. This was partially offset by a strengthening Hawaii economy in which visitor arrivals, new construction and the housing market all showed improvement.

If you have any questions about this Annual Report or would like us to provide the Funds’ prospectus to your family or friends, please call us at 988-8088.

Thank you for your business as well as the many referrals. As always, we look forward to providing you with the high level of service that you have come to expect.

On behalf of the staff and management of the Funds, I would like to extend to you and your family best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season.

Warmest Aloha,

Terrence K.H. Lee

President

  First Pacific Securities, Inc./Member SIPC
Before investing, read the prospectus carefully for complete information including all fees and expenses. Call 988—8088 for a free prospectus. Funds’ yields, share prices and investment returns fluctuate so that you may receive more or less than your original investment upon redemption. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Some income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for certain investors. First Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund and First Hawaii Intermediate Municipal Fund are series of First Pacific Mutual Fund, Inc.

 The graph above compares the increase in value of a $10,000 investment in the First Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund with the performance of the Lehman Muni Bond Index. The objective of the graph is to permit you to compare the performance of the Fund with the current market and to give perspective to market conditions and investment strategies and techniques pursued by the investment manager that materially affected the performance of the Fund. The Lehman Muni Bond Index reflects reinvestment of dividends but not the expenses of the Fund. The return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

First Pacific Mutual Fund, Inc.

Honolulu, Hawaii

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of First Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund and First Hawaii Intermediate Municipal Fund (each a series of shares of First Pacific Mutual Fund, Inc.) including the schedules of investments, as of September 30, 2000, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated thereon. 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 audits 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 confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian 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 First Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund and First Hawaii Intermediate Municipal Fund as of September 30, 2000, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated thereon, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

FIRST HAWAII MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

FIRST HAWAII INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

September 30, 2000

 

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

First Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund and First Hawaii Intermediate Municipal Fund ("Funds") are each a series of shares of First Pacific Mutual Fund, Inc. which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as a non-diversified open-end management company.

 

The investment objective of the Funds is to provide investors with the maximum level of income exempt from federal and Hawaii income taxes consistent with the preservation of capital. The Funds seek to achieve their objective by investing primarily in municipal securities which pay interest that is exempt from federal and Hawaii income taxes.

 

The Funds are subject to the risk of price fluctuation of the municipal securities held in their portfolios which is generally a function of the underlying credit rating of an issuer, the maturity length of the securities, the securities’ yield, and general economic and interest rate conditions.

 

Since the Funds invest primarily in obligations of issuers located in Hawaii, the marketability and market value of these obligations may be affected by certain Hawaiian constitutional provisions, legislative measures, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives, and other political and economic developments. If any such problems arise, they could adversely affect the ability of various Hawaiian issuers to meet their financial obligation.

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(A) SECURITY VALUATION

Portfolio securities, which are fixed income securities, are valued by an independent pricing service using market quotations, prices provided by market-makers, or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics, in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Directors. Securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued on the amortized cost basis as reflecting fair value. All other securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

(B) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute their taxable income, if any, to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. At September 30, 2000, the First Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund had an unused capital loss carryforward of approximately $408,204 of which, $189,123 expires in 2004, $29,000 expires in 2005 and $190,181 expires in 2008.

 

 (C) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME AND
       DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Bond discounts and premiums are amortized as required by the Internal Revenue Code. Distributions to shareholders are declared daily and reinvested or paid in cash monthly. Premiums and discounts are amortized in accordance with income tax regulations.

 

(2) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

 

First Pacific Management Corporation ("FPMC") provides the Funds with management and administrative services pursuant to a management agreement and administrative services agreement. In accordance with the terms of the management agreement and the administrative services agreement, FPMC receives compensation at the annual rate of .50% and up to .05% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, respectively.

 

The Funds’ distributor, First Pacific Securities, Inc. ("FPS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FPMC, received $166,908 and $2,220 for costs incurred in connection with the sale of First Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund’s shares and First Hawaii Intermediate Bond Fund’s shares, respectively (See Note 3).

 

First Pacific Recordkeeping, Inc. ("FPR"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FPMC, serves as the transfer agent for the Funds. FPR also provides the First Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund with certain clerical, bookkeeping and shareholder services pursuant to a service agreement approved by the Fund’s directors. As compensation for these services FPR receives a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annualized rate of .10% of average daily net assets.

 

Certain officers and directors of the Funds are also officers of FPMC, FPS and FPR.

 

 

(3) DISTRIBUTION COSTS

 

The Funds’ Board of Directors, including a majority of the Directors who are not "interested persons" of the Funds, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Act. The Plan regulates the manner in which a regulated investment company may assume costs of distributing and promoting the sales of its shares.

 

The Plan provides that the Funds may incur certain costs, which may not exceed .25% per annum of the Funds’ average daily net assets, for payment to the distributor for items such as advertising expenses, selling expenses, commissions or travel reasonably intended to result in sales of shares of the Funds.

 

(4) PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
