                                 JULY 31, 1996
 
                             LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
  The past 12 months have been a productive time for the Pacific Capital Funds,
as we continue to grow in directions that will serve you better. The Funds' net
assets grew 27% to $805 million during the period, reflecting growing investor
interest in our diversified array of Funds.
 
  The recent period was a volatile one for both the stock and bond markets, as
investors debated the likely direction of the economy, inflation and long-term
interest rates. Such fluctuations are an important reminder of some crucial
investment principles.
 
  First, investors should allocate their savings among a variety of asset
classes to help moderate price volatility under different market conditions.
 
  Second, it's essential to understand your own investment time horizon. If you
are investing toward long-term goals, it can make sense to take advantage of
the growth potential of stocks and other growth-oriented assets. Seasoned
investors know that it's generally unwise to time the market, especially as a
long-term investor. History has shown that people able to ride out short-term
gyrations in the markets have tended to come out ahead--over the long term.
 
  Third, regular contributions to a portfolio of well-managed mutual funds can
be an excellent way to combat inflation and taxes over time.
 
  Increasingly, Americans are recognizing the role that mutual funds can play
in their future. Total mutual fund assets grew from $2.5 trillion to $3.2
trillion during the recent 12-month period. Most of that growth took place in
stock funds, as investors became more comfortable putting their money to work
in long-term growth investments.
 
  In that favorable environment, we have worked hard to increase the Pacific
Capital Funds' assets, creating economies of scale that will benefit
shareholders. For example, this past year Merrill Lynch and Wedbush Morgan
Securities joined Bancorp Investment Group to make Pacific Capital Funds more
readily available to retail investors.
 
  Moreover, distribution sales forces have designed new products and services
that use the Pacific Capital Funds. Among them:
 
  . The Pacific Capital Funds IRA, a service that lets investors purchase any
    of six long-term Pacific Capital Funds and two money market funds for
    their IRAs. The service is available through Bancorp Investment Group.
 
  . Life$pan, a mutual fund asset allocation product managed by Hawaiian
    Trust Company. Research has shown that asset allocation, not the
    selection of individual securities, is the primary determining factor in
    investment results.* Life$pan offers an account invested in a fixed
    number of Pacific Capital Funds and other mutual funds. The mix of funds
    is driven by market conditions as well as each shareholders' investment
    approach, which can range from conservative to aggressive.
 
  . Future Horizons 401(k) Retirement Plan, administered by Hawaiian Trust
    Company, which makes Pacific Capital Funds and other mutual funds
    available to participants in 401(k) plans. (Bank of Hawaii has also made
    Pacific Capital Funds available to its employees enrolled in the company-
    sponsored 401(k) plan.)

  We thank you for investing in the Pacific Capital Funds and will continue to
look for new ways to further increase the Funds' assets, thereby creating added
shareholder value. If you have questions or would like a Fund prospectus,

                       LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
 
  The 12-month period ended July 31, 1996, was marked by uncertainty about the
strength of the economy, the outlook for inflation and the likely direction of
interest rates. That uncertainty led to volatility in both the stock and bond
markets. Although stock prices posted gains during the year, different sectors
of the market experienced losses at various times, and bonds suffered
significant setbacks late in the period.
 
PROSPECTS FOR SLOWER GROWTH
 
  Losses in bonds occurred after the economy rebounded sharply this spring and
interest rates rose. The economy grew at a revised annualized rate of 4.8% in
the second quarter of 1996, a significant jump from around 2% during the first
quarter, bringing the average growth rate to over 3% for the first half of
1996.
 
  Nevertheless, we believe that economic growth will slow during the second
half of the year to less than 2% on an annual basis. One reason: consumer
spending, which makes up some two-thirds of the U.S. economy, will slow.
Although consumer confidence remains high, individuals are burdened with
mounting debt problems. In fact, consumer installment debt payments as a
percentage of personal income are at a 35-year high. So it's not surprising
that we already have seen increases in credit card and mortgage delinquencies.
 
  Consumers aren't the only ones approaching their spending limits. Capital
spending also is down. Moreover, our exports are declining as the economies of
our major trading partners remain weak. Thus, overseas demand won't compensate
for slower spending in the United States.
 
  The good news is that a weaker economy means lower inflationary pressures.
Leading inflation forecasts from the Economic Cycle Research Institute and the
Columbia Center for International Business Cycle Research suggest that
inflation will remain under control during the coming months.
 
BONDS AND STOCKS OFFER OPPORTUNITIES
 
  Yields on long-term Treasury bonds moved up to 7.2% this spring before
retreating to around 7.0% at the end of July. We believe that bonds are
attractive at recent yield levels, since long-term interest rates could fall
below 6.4% as the economy continues to slow during the remainder of the year.
As a result, we believe that this a good time to lock in current yields.
 
  We also continue to believe that stocks are still a good long-term
investment, although they appear to have entered a correction phase that could
last several months. Some sort of correction was long overdue, as stock prices
have been rising without much significant interruption since 1990.
 
  At the same time, it seems likely that corporate earnings growth will slow
during the coming months. And while declining bond yields will help offset the
impact of lower earnings on stock prices, we have shifted our stock portfolios
toward slightly more defensive positions. Broadly diversified portfolios of
high-quality stocks should help the Funds weather short-term volatility while
providing opportunity for long-term results that may help you meet your goals
as an investor. We will take advantage of market corrections that occur to
purchase undervalued securities that we believe can improve the Funds'
prospects.
 
Sincerely,
/s/ William J. Barton

 Past performance is not predictive of future results.

+The quoted performance of the Pacific Capital Growth Stock Fund ("Fund")
 includes the performance of certain common trust fund ("Commingled") accounts
 advised by Hawaiian Trust Company and managed the same as the Fund in all
 material respects, for periods dating back to July 31, 1986 and prior to the
 Fund's commencement of operations on November 1, 1993, for the Retail Class,
 and on October 14, 1994, for the Institutional Class as adjusted to reflect
 the expenses associated with the Fund. The Commingled accounts were not
 registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment
 Company Act of 1940 and therefore were not subject to the investment
 restrictions imposed by law on registered mutual funds. If the Commingled
 accounts had been registered, the Commingled accounts' performance may have
 been adversely affected.
 
++The Standard & Poor's BARRA Growth Index, is unmanaged and is generally
 representative of the performance of the growth stock universe. The index does
 not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as
 investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund's performance
 reflects the deduction of fees for these value-added services.
 
Investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when
 redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
 
  The Fund returned 8.25% during the 12 months ended July 31, 1996 (Returns are
for Retail Class without the sales charge). That performance lagged the return
of the Fund's benchmark, the S&P/BARRA Growth Index, since much of the index's
performance was fueled by strong gains among shares of technology firms and
other companies whose fortunes are closely linked to the strength of the
economy. Prices of such stocks rose sharply as the economy gained momentum in
early 1996.
 
  In contrast, the Fund continued to adhere to its long-term strategy, which
calls for a commitment to shares of high-quality growth companies. The
portfolio's largest holdings recently included General Electric, Coca-Cola,
American International Group, Procter & Gamble and Johnson & Johnson. Such
companies
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
generally share one or more of the following qualities: strong management; the
ability to be a low-cost provider to customers; a leading market share;
technological leadership; low or moderate debt.
 
  Shares of these kinds of high-quality firms generally lag the market during
periods like the past 12 months, when economically sensitive stocks are in
favor and corporate earnings are growing strongly. But we expect that quite
different conditions will prevail during the coming months.
 
  Most important, it seems likely that earnings growth for many companies will
slow along with the economy. If that occurs, investors will be paying a premium
for shares of companies that can generate consistent earnings growth--the kinds
of companies we focus on. We will continue to maintain a broadly diversified
portfolio of such companies, confident that our approach will deliver solid
returns over the long term.
 
  As of July 31, 1996, the Fund's top five holdings as a percent of total
assets were General Electric (3.73%), Coca-Cola (3.58%), Procter & Gamble
(2.83%), Philip Morris (2.65%) and Johnson & Johnson (2.64%).+

  During the 12 months ended July 31, 1996, the Fund delivered a total return
of 11.96% (Returns are for Retail Class without the sales charge) reflecting
market conditions as well as strategic changes in the portfolio.
 
  Performance was helped as the Fund became more fully invested and reduced its
cash position to around 2.5% during the period. In addition, we found a number
of bargains in the technology sector when those stocks sustained losses. As a
result, the Fund's allocation to technology shares climbed from around 9% of
the portfolio a year ago to 13.5% at the end of the period on July 31. The
portfolio also included a significant stake in shares of firms in the
industrial and basic materials sectors. Thus, it was well positioned for an
environment of economic growth.
 
  We reduced the Fund's exposure to utility shares and other interest-rate-
sensitive stocks during late 1995 because their prices seemed high relative to
the stocks' underlying fundamentals. This helped the Fund's performance when
interest rates climbed in 1996. However, as rising rates caused utility share
prices to decline, we took advantage of the opportunity to buy back such stocks
at attractive price levels.

  There was considerable uncertainty among investors about the outlook for the
economy, and, as a result, certain sectors of the stock market experienced a
great deal of volatility. We resisted the temptation to make large bets on
particular sectors. Instead, the Fund emphasized individual stock picks,
searching for long-term value. We will continue to take a stock-by-stock
approach in the months ahead, maintaining a solid core of blue-chip stocks
mixed with shares of more rapidly growing firms in a wide variety of sectors.

The performance of the Pacific Capital New Asia Growth Fund is measured against
the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Far East Index (excluding
Japan), which is unmanaged and is generally representative of the performance
of stock markets in that region. The index does not reflect the deduction of
fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund
accounting fees. The Fund's performance reflects the deduction of fees for
these value-added services. Investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that
an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the
original cost.
 
  During the 12 months ended July 31, the Fund's first full year of operation,
the Fund had a total return of 1.71% (Returns are for Retail Class without the
sales charge). During the period, the benchmark MSCI Far East Index (excluding
Japan), returned 7.64%.
 
  The Asian markets posted gains during much of the period but experienced
sharp declines in July due to a sea of change in investor sentiment toward the
U.S. market. When evidence of economic strength and rising labor costs raised
the prospect of higher U.S. interest rates, stock prices in the United States
fell--and the decline in the U.S. markets had an immediate effect on the
smaller markets in Asia.
 
  Some investors also became concerned that economic growth in Asia was
slowing. But despite slower growth in recent months, we believe long-term
economic growth rates will be relatively high in the region. The recent
slowdown was caused in part by declining demand for electronic goods, which
make up a hefty percentage of many developing economies' exports. But we are
confident that demand will pick up in the second half of 1996, and the managers
of electronics companies in the region seem to share our optimism.
 
  In addition, some countries in Asia are at very different stages of the
economic cycle than the United States. China, for example, has been trying for
the past two to three years to slow its growth rate to avoid a resurgence of
inflation. These measures recently have been fruitful: Inflation in China has
fallen from above 20% in early 1995 to the mid-single digits. It now appears
there is ample room for a relaxation of monetary policy, which would accelerate
growth.
 
  The Fund remains focused on areas of growth, where we think earnings will be
relatively stable regardless of fluctuations in the macroeconomic prospects of
any one country or group of countries. As a result, more than half the Fund's
assets are invested in infrastructure, financial services, retail and consumer
products.

  Looking forward, we remain confident in our positive outlook for the region
and the Fund. We will continue to hold a diversified portfolio of promising
growth stocks in the region and take advantage of market fluctuations to buy
such shares at attractive prices.

+The quoted performance of the Pacific Capital U.S. Treasury Securities Fund
 ("Fund") includes the performance of certain common trust fund ("Commingled")
 accounts advised by Hawaiian Trust Company and managed the same as the Fund in
 all material respects, for periods dating back to July 31, 1986 and prior to
 the Fund's commencement of operations on November 1, 1993, for the Retail
 Class, and on October 14, 1994, for the Institutional Class, as adjusted to
 reflect the expenses associated with the Fund. The Commingled accounts were
 not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
 Investment Company Act of 1940, and therefore were not subject to the
 investment restrictions imposed by law on registered mutual funds. If the
 Commingled accounts had been registered, the Commingled accounts' performance
 may have been adversely affected.
 
++The Merrill Lynch 10-15 Year Government/U.S. Treasury Index, is unmanaged and

 The index does not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual

 performance reflects the deduction of fees for these value-added services.
 
 Investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when
 redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
 
  The Fund began the fiscal year with a long average maturity of 17.1 years for
its securities. The Fund's duration, which is a measure of the securities'
price sensitivity to movements in interest rates, was also long at 8.5 years.
Both measures were greater than those of the portfolio's benchmark because we
expected a slower economy and lower interest rates, which would increase the
value of longer-maturity securities. As the economy slowed and the Federal
Reserve lowered the federal funds rate--the benchmark for short-term rates--our
strategy worked extremely well and enabled the Fund to post strong returns
during calendar 1995.
 
  Early in 1996, however, the momentum of the bond market shifted. Although
economic data continued to look weak, and even though the Federal Reserve eased
the federal funds rate to 5.25% at the end of January, the market began to sell
off as investors became concerned over potentially stronger growth and the
threat of inflation later in the year. We also became concerned about the
growing strength of the economic data and the reaction of the bond market and
thus began to reduce the Fund's sensitivity to the market decline. By the end
of our fiscal year in July, we had shortened the Fund's maturity to 11.7 years
and its duration to 6.4 years. This action helped to cushion the Fund's value
from the extreme price volatility of the market through the end of
 
                                       10

July. Our investment strategy resulted in a total return of 3.43% for the Fund
for the 12 months ended July 31, 1996 (Returns are for Retail Class without the
sales charge).
 
  Although the 12-month period ended July 31 has been a difficult environment
for bond funds, we are optimistic that the coming year will be better, with
increasing signs of a moderate to slower economy and little in the way of
inflation. We believe that the Fund is well positioned to benefit from this
course of events.

The performance of the Pacific Capital Short Intermediate U.S. Treasury
Securities Fund is measured against the Merrill Lynch 3-5 Year U.S. Treasury
Index, which is unmanaged and is generally representative of the performance of
short-term Treasury bonds. The index does not reflect the deduction of fees
associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund
accounting fees. The Fund's performance reflects the deduction of fees for
these value-added services. Investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that
an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the
original cost.
 
  Since longer-term issues perform better when interest rates decline, the
Short Intermediate U.S. Treasury Securities Fund's portfolio benefited in 1995
when interest rates fell. But early this year, reports of stronger economic
growth pushed rates higher, leading us to reduce the Fund's average maturity
from around 4.0 years in July 1995 to 3.3 years by July 1996. The reason: It
seemed unlikely that the Federal Reserve Board would act to lower short-term
interest rates with the economy showing such strong growth. Despite a difficult
bond market, the strategy boosted the Fund's returns during the spring and
early summer and resulted in a positive return of 3.90% during the 12 months
ended July 31, 1996 (Returns are for Retail Class without the sales charge).
 
  Over the course of the year, we actively reduced the Fund's price sensitivity
to the decline in the bond market and at the same time improved its cash flow.
This latter activity was accomplished by trading out of lower-coupon, longer-
maturity securities and purchasing shorter-maturity, higher-coupon issues. We
expect that this will improve the Fund's cash distributions while reducing
price volatility.
 
  Although long-term rates will likely decline during the coming months as the
economy slows, the direction of short-term rates lies largely in the hands of
the Federal Reserve. Thus, we will likely maintain a relatively short average
maturity for the Fund until we see signs of significantly slower economic
growth that could induce the Federal Reserve to lower short-term rates. When
this occurs, we would likely increase the Fund's maturity to capture potential
gains.

  From August to December, 1995 (the first five months of the Fund's fiscal
year), interest rates declined, continuing the trend of early 1995. The
direction of interest rates changed sharply in 1996, however, with 30-Year
Treasury bond rates moving from below 6% in January to a high of 7.20% in early
July. Bond prices move in the opposite direction to interest rates, so the rate
increase caused bond prices--and therefore, the Fund's value--to decline.
 
  While we believe that this increase is temporary, evidence of stronger
economic growth, coupled with low inflation, has resulted in a very volatile
bond market. To reduce the impact of this instability on the portfolio, the
Fund's duration, which measures volatility, was shortened from 7.23 years at
the end of fiscal year 1995 to 5.76 years at the end of July 1996. This was,
however, a gradual process, and the Fund's longer-than-index duration caused it
to underperform the index. The Fund returned 3.69% for the 12 months ended July
31, 1996 (Returns are for Retail Class without the sales charge).

  We invested most of the Fund's new assets in government agency and treasury
securities. We continued to favor high-quality issues on the grounds that the
slightly higher yields available from corporate bonds do not justify additional
credit risk, however minimal.
 
  We remain optimistic that by the end of 1996 we will see lower interest
rates, reflecting moderating economic growth and low inflation. As rates
decline, we anticipate lengthening the Fund's duration to capture potential

+The quoted performance of the Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund
 ("Fund") includes the performance of certain common trust fund ("Commingled")
 accounts advised by Hawaiian Trust Company and managed the same as the Fund in
 all material respects, for periods dating back to July 31, 1986 and prior to
 the Fund's commencement of operations on October 14, 1994, as adjusted to
 reflect the expenses associated with the Fund. The Commingled accounts were
 not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
 Investment Company Act of 1940 and therefore were not subject to the
 investment restrictions imposed by law on registered mutual funds. If the
 Commingled accounts had been registered, the Commingled accounts' performance
 may have been adversely affected.
 
++The Lehman Brothers 20-Year Municipal Bond Index, is unmanaged and is
 generally representative of the performance of long-term municipal bonds. The
 Index does not reflect deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such
 as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund's performance
 reflects the deduction of fees for these value-added services.
 
 Investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when
 redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
 
  During the 12 months ended July 31, 1996, the Fund benefited from falling
interest rates in the first six months of the period, but gave up some gains in
early 1996, resulting in a total return of 5.54% for the fiscal year (Returns
are for Retail Class without the sales charge).
 
  The bond markets were unfavorably affected when economic data for the first
quarter of 1996 indicated stronger-than-expected economic growth. Municipal
bonds underperformed taxable bonds during 1995 due to flat-tax concerns, but
after the presidential primaries, when a flat tax no longer seemed viable, the
municipal market started outperforming the taxable market. For example, the
yield on a AAA-rated, 30-year general obligation bond declined 20 basis points,
compared to an increase in the 30-Year Treasury bond yield of 12 basis points.
A dearth of supply in the municipal market also served to boost the performance
of the municipal market relative to the taxable bond market.
 
  In anticipation of falling interest rates, the Fund was structured with a
relatively long duration.
 
  However, it was structured in a manner that was much more defensive relative
to its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 20-Year Municipal Bond Index, because of
its income orientation and, therefore, did not gain as much as the index.
Conversely, the Fund would have likely outperformed its benchmark in a
declining

market environment. Since income and principal stability are key to the Fund's
objectives, the Fund's quality was further improved through the purchase of
secondary municipal bond insurance and the selection of high-quality
securities. We believe that this strategy will serve to benefit shareholders in
the long run, as high-quality credits maintain their value better, especially
during uncertain times.
 
  Looking ahead, we anticipate the economy to slow down, accompanied by lower
interest rates. Municipal issuance is also expected to remain low, as taxpayer
resistance will likely keep debt issuance limits at a minimum. The combination
of these factors should give strong support to the municipal market and the
performance of the Fund.

  Past performance is not predictive of future results.

+The quoted performance of the Pacific Capital Tax-Free Short Intermediate
 Securities Fund ("Fund") includes the performance of certain common trust fund
 ("Commingled") accounts advised by Hawaiian Trust Company and managed the same
 as the Fund in all material respects for periods dating back to March 31,
 1988, and prior to the Fund's commencement of operations on October 14, 1994,
 as adjusted to reflect the expenses associated with the Fund. The Commingled
 accounts were not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under
 the Investment Company Act of 1940 and therefore were not subject to the
 investment restrictions imposed by law on registered mutual funds. If the
 Commingled accounts had been registered, the Commingled accounts' performance
 may have been adversely affected.
 
++The Lehman Brothers 3-Year Municipal Bond Index, which has been in existence
 since December 31, 1989, is unmanaged and generally representative of the
 performance of short-term municipal bonds. Until recently, the Fund's
 performance was measured against this index. To provide a comparison of the
 Fund's performance since the inception of the Commingled accounts (March 31,
 1988), the Fund is now being measured against the Lehman Brothers 5-Year
 Municipal Bond Index. This index tracks bonds with a maturity range of four to
 six years. It's important to note that the Fund may only invest in bonds with
 a maturity range of five years or less. Neither index reflects the deduction
 of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund
 accounting fees. The Fund's performance reflects the deduction of fees for
 these value-added services.
 
 Investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when
 redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Past performance
 is not indicative of future results.
 
  The Fund gave up much of its 1995 gains when first quarter 1996 economic
growth pointed to an unexpectedly resilient economy, effectively dashing
expectations of a decrease in interest rates. Although the Federal Reserve
Board has remained neutral since it last eased rates at the end of January,
many believe that
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
 
the next move will be a tightening rather than an easing. As a result, short-
term tax-exempt rates have gone up, albeit not as much as their taxable
counterparts. Short-term municipals have continued to outperform short-term
taxable bonds primarily because of a lack of supply. In 1995, short-term
municipal bonds benefited from flat-tax concerns, which drove investors from
long-term bonds to the relatively safer haven of short-term bonds.
 
  Consistent with our interest-rate outlook, the average maturity of the Fund
was extended throughout the 12 months ended July 31, 1996, in order to capture
higher yields and position the Fund for a bond market rally. As the scenario of
a further Federal Reserve board ease did not materialize, short-term rates
increased, and the Fund experienced negative returns, albeit not as much as its
benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 5-Year Municipal Bond Index, which has a longer
duration. Conversely, the Fund also did not gain as much during the first half
of the fiscal year when interest rates declined because of its shorter
duration. For the 12 months ended July 31, 1996, the Fund posted a total return
of 3.41% (Returns are for Retail Class without the sales charge).
 
  Looking ahead, we are still convinced that the economy will slow down in the
second half of 1996 as the combination of high consumer-debt levels, fiscal and
monetary restraint and the absence of inflationary pressures continue to create
a favorable environment for the bond market. The high quality and longer
maturity of the Fund should benefit its performance when this happens.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
To the Shareholders and Trustees of Pacific Capital Funds
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of portfolio investments of the Pacific Capital Funds
(comprising, respectively, Growth Stock Fund, U.S. Treasury Securities Fund,
Short Intermediate U.S. Treasury Securities Fund, Growth and Income Fund,
Diversified Fixed Income Fund, Tax-Free Securities Fund, Tax-Free Short
Intermediate Securities Fund, and New Asia Growth Fund) as of July 31, 1996,
and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net
assets, and the financial highlights for the periods presented herein. 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 audit 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 July 31, 1996, 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 the
respective portfolios constituting the Pacific Capital Funds at July 31, 1996,
the results of their operations, and the changes in their net assets and
financial highlights for the periods presented herein, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

1. ORGANIZATION
 
 Pacific Capital Funds (the "Trust") was organized on October 30, 1992, and
 is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, ("the
 1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company
 established as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust currently consists
 of the following investment portfolios (individually, a "Fund" and
 collectively, the "Funds"): Growth Stock Fund, U.S. Treasury Securities
 Fund, Short Intermediate U.S. Treasury Securities Fund, Growth and Income
 Fund, Diversified Fixed Income Fund, Tax-Free Securities Fund, Tax-Free
 Short Intermediate Securities Fund, and New Asia Growth Fund. The Trust is
 authorized to issue for each Fund an unlimited number of shares without par
 value in two classes of shares: Retail Class and Institutional Class. The
 Institutional Class commenced operations October 14, 1994 when the Trust
 identified those Institutional Shareholders that were part of the Retail
 Class (as of October 13, 1994) and transferred the Shareholders into the
 Institutional Class. Retail Class Shares are subject to initial sales
 charges, imposed at the time of purchase, in accordance with the Funds'
 prospectuses. Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and
 privileges except with respect to distribution (12b-1) fees paid by Retail
 Class Shares, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares
 and the exchange privileges of each class of shares.
 
 The Funds' investment objectives are as follows. Growth Stock Fund seeks
 long-term capital appreciation; U.S. Treasury Securities Fund and Short
 Intermediate U.S. Treasury Securities Fund seek a high level of current
 income consistent with prudent risk of capital. Growth and Income Fund seeks
 primarily current income and secondarily capital appreciation. Diversified
 Fixed Income Fund seeks a high level of current income. Tax-Free Securities
 Fund and Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund seek a high level of
 current income exempt from federal and Hawaii income taxes. New Asia Growth
 Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
 the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are
 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation
 of financial statements requires management to make estimates and
 assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
 the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
 expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  SECURITIES VALUATION
 
  Investments of the Funds for which the primary market is a national
  securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers
  Automated Quotation National Market System ("NASDAQ") are valued at last
  reported sale price on the day of valuation. In the absence of any sale of
  such securities on the valuation date, the valuations are based on the mean
  of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. Securities, including thinly
  traded, unlisted, and restricted securities, for which market quotations
  are not readily available, are valued at fair market value by the
  investment adviser under the supervision of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
  Investments in investment companies are valued at their respective net
  asset values as reported by such companies. Money market instruments and
  other debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized
  cost, which approximates market value. Investments in foreign securities,
  currency holdings and other assets and liabilities of New Asia Growth Fund
  are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are
  traded and translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using
  current exchange rates. The differences between the cost and market values
  of securities are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or
  depreciation.

                                 JULY 31, 1996

  SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME
 
  Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the security is
  purchased or sold (trade date). Interest income is recognized on the
  accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the pro rata amortization of
  premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-
  dividend date and is reduced by applicable foreign taxes withheld. Gains or
  losses realized from sales of securities are determined by comparing the
  identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
 
  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
 
  The New Asia Growth Fund isolates that portion of the results of operations
  resulting from changes in currency exchange rates from the fluctuation
  arising from changes in market prices of securities held.
 
  Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
  translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the dates of the
  transactions. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise
  from sales and maturities of portfolio securities, sales of foreign
  currencies, currency exchange fluctuations between the trade and settlement
  dates of securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of
  assets and liabilities recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the
  amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency
  appreciation or depreciation arises from changes in the value of assets and
  liabilities, including investments in securities, resulting from changes in
  currency exchange rates.
 
  RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FOREIGN SECURITIES AND CURRENCIES
 
  Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not
  ordinarily associated with investments in securities of domestic issuers.
  Such risks include future political and economic developments, and the
  possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws
  and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is
  the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation,
  political or social instability or diplomatic developments which could
  adversely affect investments in those countries.
 
  Certain countries may also impose substantial restrictions on investments
  in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on
  investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national
  interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available
  in the New Asia Growth Fund and result in a lack of liquidity and a high
  price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing
  countries.
 
  Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance
  with the New Asia Growth Fund's understanding of applicable countries' tax
  rules and rates.
 
  FORWARD CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS
 
  The New Asia Growth Fund may from time to time enter into foreign currency
  exchange transactions to convert to and from different foreign currencies.
  The Fund may enter into currency exchange transactions on a spot (i.e.,
  cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange
  market, or use forward currency contracts to purchase or to sell foreign
  currencies. A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation by the
  Fund to purchase or to sell a specific currency at a future date at a price
  set at the time of the contract. The Fund may use forward foreign currency
  exchange contracts in order to protect against uncertainty in fluctuations
  of future foreign exchange rates. The use of such forward
 
                                   Continued

  contracts is limited to hedging against movements in the value of foreign
  currencies relative to the U.S. dollar in connection with specific
  portfolio transactions or with respect to portfolio positions. The forward
  foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate
  of the underlying currency and any appreciation or depreciation is recorded
  for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract
  settlement date, at which time the Fund records realized gains or losses
  equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it
  was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund could be
  exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of a forward
  foreign exchange currency contract or if the value of the foreign currency
  changes unfavorably.
 
  WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD COMMITMENTS
 
  The Funds may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis and may also
  purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment. The Funds record when-
  issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such
  that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the
  securities purchased. The value of securities underlying when-issued or
  forward commitments to purchase securities, and any subsequent fluctuation
  in their value, is taken into account when determining the net asset value
  of the Funds commencing with the date the funds agree to purchase the
  securities. The Funds do not accrue interest or dividends on when-issued
  securities until the underlying securities are received.
 
  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
  The Funds may acquire securities from member banks of the Federal Deposit
  Insurance Corporation and from registered broker-dealers which Hawaiian
  Trust Company, Limited ("Hawaiian Trust") deems creditworthy under
  guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees, subject to the seller's
  agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed-upon date and
  price ("repurchase agreement"). The repurchase price generally equals the
  price paid by a Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current
  short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying
  portfolio securities. The seller, under a repurchase agreement, is required
  to maintain the value of collateral held pursuant to the agreement at not
  less than 102% of the repurchase price (including accrued interest).
  Securities subject to repurchase agreements will be held by the Trust's
  custodian or another qualified custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury
  book-entry system. Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans by a
  Fund under the 1940 Act.
 
  DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
  Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly
  for the U.S. Treasury Securities Fund, Short Intermediate U.S. Treasury
  Securities Fund, Diversified Fixed Income Fund, Tax-Free Securities Fund,
  and Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund. Dividends from net
  investment income are declared and paid monthly for the Growth Stock Fund
  and Growth and Income Fund. Dividends from net investment income are
  declared and paid quarterly for the New Asia Growth Fund. Distributable net
  realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually.
 
  Dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains are
  determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from
  generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily
  due to differing treatments of foreign currency transactions and deferrals
  of certain losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences are reflected
  in the components of net assets.

  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
 
  Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company
  by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies
  as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make
  distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains
  sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income
  taxes.
 
  ORGANIZATION COSTS
 
  Costs incurred by the Trust in connection with organization, registration
  and the initial public offering of shares have been deferred and are
  amortized using the straight-line method over a period of two years from
  the commencement of the public offering of shares of each Fund. In the
  event that any of the initial shares of a Fund are redeemed during such
  period by any holder thereof, the Trust will reduce the redemption proceeds
  otherwise payable to such holder to cover any unamortized organizational
  expenses of the Trust in the same proportion as the number of initial
  shares of the Fund being redeemed bears to the number of initial shares of
  the Trust outstanding at the time of redemption.
 
  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
  The Tax-Free Securities Fund and the Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities
  Fund have a majority of their investments in the securities of issuers in
  Hawaii. Such concentration may subject the Fund to the effects of economic
  changes occurring within that State.
 
  OTHER
 
  Expenses that are directly related to one Fund are charged directly to that
  Fund. Other operating expenses for the Funds or the Trust are prorated to
  the Funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate basis.
