LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
- ------------------
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:
Welcome to the 1997 Stagecoach Funds Annual Report.
This Report, dated March 31, 1997, comes to you six months after the previous
Annual Report dated September 30, 1996. As we explained in the Shareholder
Letter at that time, for administrative reasons, the Stagecoach Funds have
shifted their financial year-end to March 31. This change does not otherwise
affect the operation, nor does it affect the investment objectives, of the
Funds.
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 Board acted in March to raise rates by 0.25%. The Fed's
action capped a six month period which showed only modest total return for the
fixed-income market.
The equity market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, fell 7.20% in
March from its January high. While this environment offered some challenges, we
feel that much of the "bad news" has been greatly exaggerated. For example, the
S&P 500 Index still enjoyed a 1997 year-to-date return through March 31 of
2.69%. The positive return for the six-month period ended March 31, 1997 was
11.24%. The news is similar concerning the further market correction that
occurred after the reporting period. As of early May, the market had recouped
much of its March and April losses.
Of course, equity issues do not rise and fall in unison. Large company stocks
have fared well recently as investor dollars sought their greater security and
reduced volatility. Various sectors such as technology and finance stocks have
fluctuated acutely in recent months. Value stocks have outperformed growth
stocks, in contrast to recent years.
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 discuss what factors have affected the returns for the
Stagecoach Funds during the reporting period. These commentaries were written
for you -- our shareholders -- as part of the Stagecoach Funds commitment to
education, information and service as we help you meet your financial goals.

INVESTMENT ADVISER Q&A
WHAT WERE THE SEVEN-DAY CURRENT YIELDS AS OF MARCH 31, 1997?
Seven-day current yields for each class of the Prime Money Market Mutual Fund
for the end of the reporting period and for the prior period ended September 30,
1996, are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
MARCH 31, SEPT. 30,

<S> <C> <C>
- ----------------------------------------------------
Class A 5.02% 4.99%
Institutional Class 5.32% 5.29%
Service Class 5.12% 5.09%
</TABLE>
THE FEDERAL FUNDS TARGET RATE, SET BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE, IS THE GREATEST
INFLUENCE ON MONEY MARKET YIELDS. THE RATE REMAINED UNCHANGED THROUGHOUT MOST OF
THE YEAR AND YET MONEY MARKET YIELDS FLUCTUATED. WHY?
There are a number of reasons. If the economy is expected to grow rapidly, 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. It is important to keep
an eye on the general trend in yields rather than draw conclusions based on a
single-day "snap shot" 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 sort of information.
WHAT DOES "WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY" TELL US ABOUT THE FUND? HOW HAS IT CHANGED
DURING THE PERIOD?
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 this Fund has
been fairly steady and in the short-to-intermediate range.
SINCE THE FEDERAL RESERVE RAISED THE FEDERAL FUNDS TARGET RATE IN MARCH, DO YOU
EXPECT FURTHER ACTION?
The Federal Reserve has rarely effected only a single increase when changing
monetary policy, so additional increases are 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Stagecoach 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 January 1,
1992, and currently offers the following nineteen separate diversified funds:
the Aggressive Growth, Asset Allocation, Balanced, Corporate Stock, Diversified
Income, Equity Value, Ginnie Mae, Growth and Income, Government Money Market
Mutual, Intermediate Bond, Money Market Mutual, Money Market Trust, National
Tax-Free, National Tax-Free Money Market Mutual, Prime Money Market Mutual,
Short-Intermediate U.S. Government Income, Small Cap, Treasury Money Market
Mutual, and U.S. Government Allocation Funds; and five non-diversified funds:
the Arizona Tax-Free, California Tax-Free Bond, California Tax-Free Income,
California Tax-Free Money Market Mutual, and Oregon Tax-Free Funds. These
financial statements represent the Prime Money Market Mutual Fund (the "Fund").
The Company changed its fiscal year-end from September 30 to March 31.
At a special shareholders meeting on July 16, 1996, the Shareholders of Pacifica
Funds Trust ("Pacifica") approved a plan of reorganization providing for the
transfer of the assets and liabilities of each Pacifica portfolio to a
corresponding fund of the Company in exchange for shares of designated classes
of the corresponding Stagecoach Fund. As a result of this reorganization,
effective September 6, 1996, the Stagecoach Prime Money Market Mutual Fund was
established to acquire all of the assets and assume all of the liabilities of
the Pacifica Prime Money Market Fund (the Predecessor Fund). All performance and
financial data prior to September 6, 1996, refers to the Predecessor Fund. This
acquisition was accomplished in a tax-free exchange for shares of the Fund.
The Fund offers Class A, Institutional Class, and Service Class shares. The
three classes of shares differ principally in the applicable distribution,
transfer agency, and shareholder servicing 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 determined separately for each class based on
income and expenses allocable to each class. Gains are allocated to each class
pro rata based upon 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, transfer agency and shareholder servicing fees.
- ---------------------

<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 for investment
companies.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INVESTMENT POLICY AND SECURITY VALUATION
The Fund invests in securities with remaining maturities not exceeding 397 days
(thirteen months), including obligations of the U.S. government, bankers
acceptances, commercial paper and certain floating- and variable-rate
instruments. Certain of these floating- and variable-rate instruments may carry
a demand feature that would permit the holder to tender them back to the issuer
at par value prior to maturity.
The Fund uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities and
seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share; however, there
can be no assurance that the Fund will meet this goal. 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.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Securities transactions are recorded no later than one business day after trade
date. Interest income is accrued daily. Realized gains or losses are reported on
the basis of identified cost of securities delivered. Bond discounts and
premiums are accreted or amortized as required by the Internal Revenue 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 the Fund's Portfolio of
Investments. The Fund may participate in pooled repurchase agreement
transactions with other funds advised by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("WFB"). The
repurchase agreement 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 entered into and held in the Fund at March 31, 1997, were
collateralized by U.S. government obligations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dividends from the Fund's net investment income 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 of the Company 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 Internal Revenue 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 Fund had net capital loss carryforwards at December 31, 1996 as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

FUND YEAR EXPIRES CARRYFORWARD

1999 525
2000 60,951
2001 56,414
2002 622
</TABLE>
Any loss carryforwards from Pacifica are included in the Stagecoach Fund's
carryforwards as shown above. The Board of Directors intends to offset net
capital gains with any capital loss carryforward until each carryforward has
been fully utilized or expires. No capital gain distribution shall be made until
any capital loss carryforwards have been fully utilized or have expired. 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
Fund. The differences between the income and gains distributed on a book versus
tax basis, if any, are shown as excess distributions of net investment income
and net realized gain on the sale of investments in the accompanying Statements
of Changes in Net Assets. The amount of distributions from net investment income
and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income
tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in
nature. To the extent that these differences are permanent in nature, such
amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on
- ---------------------

<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassifications.
ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
The Fund has been charged for expenses incurred in connection with the
organization and initial registration of the Fund and/or class of shares. Such
expenses are being amortized by the Fund on a straight-line basis over 60 months
from the date the Fund and/or class commenced operations.
2. AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Company has entered into an advisory contract on behalf of the Fund with
WFB. Pursuant to the contract, WFB has agreed to furnish investment guidance and
policy direction in connection with daily portfolio management. Under the

1996, such advisory fees were paid to WFIM.
