LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS Money Market Funds
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Thank you for investing in the Stagecoach Funds.
We're pleased to provide you with this annual report for the period ended
March 31, 1999. The report provides information about your investment over the
12-month period, including economic and market trends, a performance summary, a
portfolio review and a strategic outlook.
The Stagecoach Funds experienced another year of significant growth, with net
assets increasing from $25 billion to $29 billion during the 12-month period
ended March 31, 1999. We believe our success can be partly attributed to the
confidence and support of our shareholders generated by the continued positive
performance of many of the Funds. Of course, we'll do our best to provide
prudent management to maintain and earn that confidence.
The 12-month period that ended March 31, 1999 was marked by significant
volatility. Stocks marched steadily upward early in the period, but later
surrendered some of those gains during a sell-off in the stock market last
summer. Last summer and fall, global financial turmoil disrupted the U.S.
financial markets, but the economy still benefited from overseas flight to
capital and aggressive monetary easing by the Federal Reserve Board that drove
interest rates down to historic lows. By the end of the year, the stock market
had set new highs as broad stock indexes were propelled higher by a series of
upbeat earnings reports, and the economy's two-tiered performance produced solid
economic growth. Overall, bond yields are significantly lower than they were a
year ago, and fundamentals still point toward healthy growth during the balance
of 1999. The combination of subdued inflation, moderating economic growth and
strong foreign demand should set the stage for lower interest rates.
During the 12-month period ended March 31, 1999, stocks, as measured by the
S&P 500 Index,(1) returned 18.49%. The U.S. Government bond market increased

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.01% as measured by the Lehman Brothers Long Government Bond Index(2) during
the period. Most shorter-dated money market yields dropped late in the period,
while yields on longer-dated papers rose.
According to the Investment Company Institute, an estimated 44 million U.S.
households, or 77.3 million individual investors, owned mutual funds in 1998.
Many of these investors have benefited from unprecedented growth in the market.
While the latest signs of economic strength are positive, investors should
manage their expectations. The challenges of investing in today's markets make
mutual funds one of the most popular investment vehicles. We recommend that you
continually review your investment portfolio with your financial consultant to
determine an appropriate mix of investments to meet your ongoing needs.
Over the years, the Stagecoach Funds have built a reputation for innovation,
leadership and commitment to investors. We understand you have a variety of
investment options and we appreciate your confidence in selecting us to help you
meet your financial goals. Thank you again for your continued investment with
the Stagecoach Funds.
Sincerely,

Money Market Funds INVESTMENT ADVISOR COMMENTARY
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
Throughout the period, there were several events that affected the financial
markets. Perhaps the most significant was the series of interest rate cuts by
the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) late in 1998. These cuts were a result of
serious credit/liquidity problems overseas and problems with several large U.S.
hedge funds. It was clear the Fed was committed to maintaining liquidity in the
markets by lowering interest rates. By adding later-dated securities to our
portfolios, we were able to maintain competitive yields in the low interest rate
environment.
The Funds always maintain a core position in repurchase agreements and other
short-dated securities when they are trading at the upper end of their expected
range.
STRATEGIC OUTLOOK
With international and domestic markets relatively stable and inflation under
control, interest rates are expected to remain in a fairly narrow trading range.
However, as proven in late 1998, the Fed stands ready to provide necessary
liquidity by further lowering interest rates if global markets continue to
experience credit/ liquidity problems.
The Funds are well positioned given current international economic conditions
and low interest rates. We believe interest rates may remain unchanged at least
until year-end, and we will maintain the Funds' longer than average maturity
structure. We believe it's prudent to focus more on credit quality, stability,
capital preservation and liquidity, rather than purely on yield.
Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future
results. The Funds are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
The Funds' manager has voluntarily waived all or a portion of its management
fees or assumed responsibility for other expenses, which reduces operating
expenses and increases total return to shareholders. Without these reductions,
the Funds' returns would have been lower. There is no guarantee such reductions
will continue.
An investment in the Funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Funds seek to
preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in the Funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Money Market Funds
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 is currently comprised of thirty-one separate series. These financial
statements represent the Prime Money Market and Treasury Plus Money Market Funds
(each, a "Fund", collectively, the "Funds"), each a diversified series of the
Company.
Prior to August 1, 1998 the Prime Money Market and Treasury Plus Money Market
Funds were known as "Prime Money Market Mutual" and "Treasury Money Market
Mutual" Funds, respectively.
Effective at the close of business on December 12, 1997, the Funds of Overland
Express Funds, Inc. were consolidated into the Company in a tax-free exchange
for shares of designated classes of the corresponding Stagecoach fund. Effective
on September 6, 1996 the Pacifica Funds Trust was consolidated into the Company
in a tax-free exchange for shares of designated classes of the corresponding
Stagecoach fund.
Each of the Funds offers Class A, Administrative Class, Institutional Class,
and Service Class Shares. The Treasury Plus Money Market Fund also offers Class
E shares. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the 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 determined separately for each
class based on income and expenses allocable to each class. Realized 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 realized gain and loss 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
25
<PAGE>
Money Market Funds NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
SECURITY VALUATION
The Funds invest only 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 Funds use the amortized cost method to value their portfolio securities.
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. The Funds seek to maintain a constant
net asset value of $1.00 per share, although there is no assurance that they
will be able to do so.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is
accrued daily. Realized gains or losses are reported on the basis of identified
cost of securities delivered.
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 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 by the Funds are collateralized by instruments such as U.S.
Treasury or federal agency obligations.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dividends to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared
daily and distributed monthly. Any distributions to shareholders from net
realized capital gains are declared and distributed at least annually.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Money Market Funds
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 March 31, 1999.
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 a
Fund. 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. 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 GAAP. 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 their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary
differences do not require reclassifications.
DEFERRED ORGANIZATION COSTS
Certain costs incurred in connection with the organization of the Funds and
their initial registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with
the various states are amortized on a straight-line basis over 60 months from
the date each Fund commenced operations.
2. AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Company has entered into separate advisory contracts on behalf of the
