LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS Treasury Plus Money Market Fund
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Thank you for investing in the Stagecoach Funds.
It's a pleasure to provide you with the semi-annual report for the period
ended September 30, 1999. The report includes information about your investment
over the six-month period, including economic and market trends, a performance
summary, a portfolio review and a strategic outlook.
Several noteworthy events happened during the period, including the Dow Jones
Industrial Average surpassing 10,000 points for the first time in its 104-year
history in March, and the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") raising short-term
interest rates twice between April 1, 1999, and September 30, 1999.
Despite the two interest rate increases during the period, the nation's
economy remained strong. Earnings for U.S. companies were robust, we had a
budget surplus, inflation and unemployment remained low, and Americans seemed
confident about the future. We were also in the midst of a prolonged bull
market, which made U.S. capital markets attractive to investors both at home and
abroad. By the end of the period, however, stocks suffered a setback, hurt by
worries over the Fed tightening and higher interest rates early in the period,
and by a weaker dollar and rising commodity prices in September 1999. By late
September, both the DJIA and the S&P 500 Index were off about 10% from their
summer peaks. Investors can expect some potential volatility toward the end of
the year due to Y2K concerns.
The interest rate increases were good news for the bond markets, which had
discounted the Fed tightening in response to a strong economy before the rate
increases. The increases helped restore order to the bond market, which had seen
prices tumble and yields rise above 6% on the benchmark 30-year U.S. Treasury
bond. The higher the bond yields move, the more likely investors will be to
switch from stocks to the safety of bonds.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, the short-term Treasury market experienced higher yields late in
the six-month period. However, during the last half of September there was a
rally in the six-month bills as the three-month bills were experiencing
maturities in late December. Consequently, investors stayed away from the late
December maturities due to Y2K concerns and reinvestment risk in late December.
Third quarter short-term agency yields rose more than short-term Treasury
yields, widening the spread between agencies' discount notes and T-Bills. Agency
spreads widened out considerably in the front-end, primarily due to Y2K
concerns. The spread in the three-month sector stood at 68 basis points, while
the one-year spread was 60 basis points.
As you read through this report and review the performance of the Funds within
your portfolio, we encourage you to keep long-term goals in mind when making
investment decisions. 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.
Thank you again for your continued investment with the Stagecoach Funds. At
the close of business November 5, 1999, the Stagecoach Funds were reorganized
into the Wells Fargo Funds. The next annual or semi-annual report you receive
will reflect the Wells Fargo Funds.
Sincerely,

INVESTMENT ADVISOR COMMENTARY Treasury Plus Money Market Fund
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
TREASURY PLUS MONEY MARKET FUND -- CLASS E
The Stagecoach Treasury Plus Money Market Fund seeks to provide investors with
current income and stability of principal.
The Fund is managed by Michael Neitzke of Wells Capital Management
Incorporated. Mr. Neitzke joined Wells Fargo Bank in 1996 from First Interstate
Capital Management. He has more than a decade of experience in managing taxable
money market mutual funds at First Interstate Bank and Union Capital Advisors.
He holds a B.A. in Finance from California State University, Los Angeles.
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
For the six-month period ended September 30, 1999, the Stagecoach Treasury
Plus Money Market Fund's cumulative total return1 was 2.13%. The seven-day
current yield for the Fund as of September 30, 1999, was 4.33%.
Keep in mind that past performance is no guarantee of future results.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") raised the Federal Funds Rate on
August 24 from 5.00% to 5.25%, as anticipated. This move by the Fed, along with
the June 30 Federal Funds Rate increase from 4.75% to 5.00%, caused the money
market yield curve to become steeper. The Fed described these rate increases as
a partial effort to undo the three rate decreases it made last fall to address
the economic turmoil overseas. Another factor causing money market yields to
increase is that borrowers are avoiding purchasing securities that mature in
late December due to potential Y2K problems, thus increasing the demand for
securities of other maturities.
STRATEGIC OUTLOOK
The Fed was expected to increase short-term interest rates once again in
November in its continued fight against inflation and to restrain long-term
interest rates.

Treasury Plus Money Market Fund INVESTMENT ADVISOR COMMENTARY
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Going forward, the Fund will continue to take advantage of the relatively steep
yield curve by maintaining a weighted average maturity longer than average,
while maintaining high credit quality. To maintain adequate liquidity, the Fund
will continue to hold a core position of overnight repurchase agreements. We
believe it's prudent to continue to focus more on credit quality, stability,
capital preservation and liquidity, rather than yield.
1 Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future
results. The Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
The Fund's 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 Fund's returns would have been lower. There is no guarantee such
reductions will continue.
An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks
to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to
lose money by investing in the Fund.

Treasury Plus Money Market Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
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 thirty-one separate series. These financial
statements represent the Treasury Plus Money Market Fund (the "Fund"), a
diversified series of the Company.
Prior to August 1, 1998 the Treasury Plus Money Market Fund was known as the
"Treasury Money Market Mutual Fund."
Effective at the close of business on December 12, 1997, the Funds of Overland
Express, 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.
The Fund offers Class A, Administrative Class, Class E, Institutional Class,
and Service Class shares. The separate 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 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
16
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Treasury Plus Money Market Fund
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Fund invests only in securities with remaining maturities not exceeding
397 days (13 months). Certain floating- and variable-rate instruments in the
portfolio 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 Fund uses the amortized cost method to value its 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 Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value
of $1.00 per share, although there is no assurance that it 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. Bond discounts are accreted and premiums are
amortized under provisions of 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 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 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 Fund 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.
17
<PAGE>
Treasury Plus Money Market Fund NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The 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, 1998.
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 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 Fund and its
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 the Fund 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 provide the Fund with daily
portfolio management. Under the contract, WFB is entitled to be paid a monthly
advisory fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
On August 1, 1998, Wells Capital Management Incorporated ("WCM"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of WFB, began acting as investment sub-advisor to the Fund. WCM is
entitled to receive from WFB, as compensation for its sub-advisory services to
the Fund, a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.05% of the Fund's average daily
net assets up to $1 billion and 0.04% of the Fund's average
18
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Treasury Plus Money Market Fund
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. WCM's minimum annual fee is $120,000
for the Fund. This minimum annual fee does not increase the advisory fees paid
by the Funds to WFB.
The Company has entered into a contract on behalf of the Fund with WFB,
whereby WFB is responsible for providing portfolio accounting services for the
Fund. Pursuant to the contract, WFB is entitled to a monthly base fee of $2,000
plus an annual fee of 0.07% of the first $50 million of the Fund's average daily
net assets, 0.045% of the next $50 million, and 0.02% of the Fund's average
daily net assets in excess of $100 million. On June 3, 1999, WFB and Forum
Accounting Services ("Forum") entered into an agreement, whereby WFB desires
that Forum performs certain fund accounting services for WFB with respect to the
Fund and each Class thereof. A fixed monthly fee, and a basis point fee of
0.0025% of the average annual daily net assets of the Fund will also be charged.
The Company, on behalf of the Fund, reimburses Forum for all out-of-pocket and
ancillary expenses reasonably incurred in providing the services described in
the Sub Fund Accounting Agreement. On September 1, 1999, Forum began providing
services for the Treasury Plus Money Market Fund.
On June 4, 1999, the Company entered into a contract on behalf of the Fund
with Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A. ("Norwest Bank"), whereby Norwest Bank is
responsible for providing custody services for the Fund. Pursuant to the
contract, Norwest Bank is entitled to a monthly fee for custody services at the
annual rate of 0.0167% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Prior to
June 4, 1999, WFB performed the above services for the same fee.
On July 17, 1999, Boston Financial Data Services ("BFDS") replaced WFB as the
transfer agent for the Company. Under the transfer agency contract, BFDS is
entitled to receive, on a monthly basis, transfer agency fees based on the
number of accounts and transactions of the Fund. WFB will continue to provide
sub-transfer agency services to the Fund. Prior to July 17, 1999 the Company had
entered into a contract on behalf of the Fund with WFB, whereby WFB provided
transfer agency services for the Fund. Under the prior transfer agency contract,
WFB was entitled to receive transfer agency fees at an annual rate of 0.10% of
the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class E and Service Class shares of
the Fund, and 0.02% of the average daily net assets of the Administrative Class
and Institutional Class shares of the Fund.
Transfer agency fees paid on behalf of the Fund for the six months ended
September 30, 1999 were as follows:

On March 25, 1999, the Company entered into an Administration Agreement with
WFB on behalf of the Fund. Under the Administration Agreement, WFB will act as
sole Administrator of the Fund and is entitled to receive monthly fees at an
annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Prior to March
25, 1999, the Company had entered into an administration agreement on behalf of
the Fund whereby WFB as administrator and Stephens Inc. ("Stephens") as
co-administrator provided the Fund with administrative services. For these
services, WFB and Stephens were entitled to receive monthly fees at the annual
rates of 0.03% and 0.04%, respectively, of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Company has adopted separate Distribution Plans for Class A and Class E
shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (each, a "Plan").
The Plan for the Class A shares of the Fund provides that the Fund may pay to
Stephens, as compensation for distribution-related services or as reimbursement
for distribution-related expenses, up to 0.05% of the average daily net assets
attributable to the Class A shares.
Under the Plan for Class E shares of the Fund, the Fund may pay to Stephens,
as compensation for distribution-related services or as reimbursement for
distribution-related expenses, a monthly fee at an annual rate of up to 0.10% of
the average daily net assets attributable to its Class E shares.
The Fund may participate in joint distribution activities with 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.
For the six months ended September 30, 1999, the Fund paid no distribution
fees for Class A shares.
