                             LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
  The Pacific Capital Funds' assets continued to grow during the recent six-
month period, with nearly 20% growth in our Retail Share class. On par with
industry trends, the majority of new money invested went into our equity funds,
due largely to the strong performance of the stock market during the period.
 
  Many investors expressed concern during the past six months regarding the
direction of long-term interest rates, the possibility of rising inflation and,
in particular, the prospects for continued gains in the stock market. We
encourage our shareholders to keep in mind that financial market fluctuations
are inherent in the investment process. Rather than react to those
fluctuations, investors would do well to act according to three important
investment principles during any point in a market cycle.
 
  First, investors should differentiate their long-term investment requirements
from their liquid-asset requirements. Long-term investors' needs probably will
be met best by taking advantage of stocks and other growth-oriented assets.
Short-term volatility and risk are by-products of investing in such assets. But
investors in the long run have been well compensated for taking on that risk.
 
  Second, investors should diversify their investments by allocating their
savings among various types of asset classes, such as stocks, bonds and cash
investments. Within those asset categories, it may also be wise to consider
tax-advantaged investments and international securities. Such diversification
among broad categories can help to moderate investment volatility and further
reduce risk.
 
  Third, investors should remember that successful investing requires an
element of discipline. Regular contributions to a portfolio of professionally
managed mutual funds can provide that discipline and help investors participate
in the financial markets consistently. Such an approach can help reduce risk of
suffering sub-par returns due to poor investment timing.
 
  Americans continued to pour money into mutual funds. In 1996, investors
contributed almost one half trillion dollars in new money to mutual funds, with
most of that money allocated to stock funds.
 
  As mutual fund assets continue to grow, we want to assure shareholders of the
quality of the investments selected for our Funds by the Hawaiian Trust
Company. Our careful selection process reflects our mission to deliver
consistent and competitive returns to our shareholders. For example, the New
Asia Growth Fund returned 17.77%/1/ and the Growth and Income Fund returned
21.45% for the six months ending January 31, 1997 (Returns are for Retail Class
without sales charge).
 
  Hawaiian Trust Company also adds value as a locally based firm providing
regional perspective and accessibility to investment expertise. Hawaiian Trust
Company has been a premier provider of asset management to individuals,
businesses, nonprofit organizations, foundations and government agencies for
nearly 100 years.

                       LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
 
  The six-month period ended January 31, 1997 was an eventful one for
investors. Uncertainty about the strength of the economy and the likely
direction of interest rates caused considerable volatility in the bond market.
Stocks performed well after struggling very early in the period. However, most
of the stock market's gains came from shares of large-company stocks. Small-
and mid-sized company stocks trailed large-company shares by wide margins.
 
SLOW ECONOMIC GROWTH
 
  Bond prices rose as a result of slow economic growth during the third quarter
of 1996. But concerns that accelerating economic growth would rekindle
inflation hurt bonds' performance later in the period. During the fourth
quarter, the economy grew at a revised annualized rate of 3.9%.
 
  Going forward, we believe that economic growth will slow during 1997 to
around 2%. There are several reasons for this outlook:
 
  . Global economic growth will slow. Many countries will continue to focus
    on fiscal restraint.
 
  . Consumer spending is likely to decrease. Consumer installment debt is
    high relative to consumers' income, and we will continue to see more
    credit-card and mortgage delinquencies as well as bankruptcies. These
    factors should lead to a drag on GDP growth numbers.
 
DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS
 
  Demographic and population trends will play a large role in the spending
habits of Americans, as well as impact U.S. economic growth and the success of
various industries during the next few years. The number of 25-30 year-olds
will begin to decline this year and continue to fall well into the next
century. Since that young group traditionally is a strong buyer of first homes,
cars and appliances, we may see a drop in retail, lower-priced auto and housing
sales during the next few years. This age group also has less disposable income
and higher debt than other age groups, and in general is in poorer financial
shape than older generations.
 
  Meanwhile, however, baby boomers' wealth will increase as they invest toward
retirement. That will stimulate sales for financial-asset companies, brokerage
firms and the travel and luxury-car industries going forward.
 
  In this type of modest growth environment, inflation will remain low.
Moreover, the strength of the dollar relative to most other currencies will
create deflationary pressure. Finally, U.S. companies probably won't be able to
pass along price increases to consumers because of increasing international
competition. Therefore, we do not foresee the Federal Reserve raising interest
rates during the next few quarters. It is more likely that the Fed will lower
rates later in the year.
 
OPPORTUNITIES IN FINANCIAL MARKETS
 
  We believe the stock market may see yet another year of positive returns
between 8% to 12%. However, many shares of the biggest companies already have
posted large gains and may be somewhat overvalued; thus, we will look for
opportunities among shares of smaller firms. We also will favor stocks that
have demonstrated the ability to consistently deliver above-average growth over
more cyclical stocks whose fortunes are closely tied to the rate of economic
growth.
 
  Bonds also are attractive at recent yields since the economy should continue
to slow. We believe that yields on long-term Treasuries could fall as low as
6.2% this autumn, from around 6.79% at the end of the recent period. Therefore,
we think now is a good time to lock in current yields on relatively long-term
issues.
 
                                       3

  Regardless of what happens in the months ahead, investors should continue to
focus on their long-term goals. We will continue to help investors achieve
their long-term goals at acceptable levels of risk by devising and implementing
clear investment strategies for each of the Funds.
 
Sincerely,

/s/ William J. Barton

 advised by Hawaiian Trust Company and managed the same as the Fund in all

 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.

Investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when

  The Fund returned 21.45%/1/ during the six months ended January 31, 1997
(returns are for Retail Class without the sales charge). That performance
lagged the 25.52% return of the Fund's benchmark, the S&P/BARRA Growth Index,
since much of the index's performance was fueled by the very largest companies
(on a cap-weighted basis) in the index.
 
  The Fund invests in higher quality mid-to-large-cap stocks, which potentially
have faster growth of earnings and revenues than the market in general.
Although for much of the six-month period under discussion the Fund owned more
large stocks than mid-sized stocks, the Fund is currently shifting some assets
into more mid-cap issues because of their attractive valuations. Though the
market has been driven in the more recent 6 to 18 months by larger companies,
and the Fund has benefited by holding these firms, relative valuation dictates
increasing the Fund's weighting in mid-cap issues.

  In its pursuit of companies that offer faster growth in earnings and
revenues, the Fund maintained strong weightings in the technology and consumer
staples sectors, since these economic sectors typically have faster growth than
the market in general. The Fund continues to hold both larger, more established
firms like Intel (4.4%) and Sara Lee (2.7%) as well as faster growing, smaller
firms like C-Cube Microsystems (1.0%) and Pioneer Hi-Bred (1.8%).
 
  In 1996, small- and mid-cap growth companies substantially underperformed
large-cap growth companies, on average. Our expectation is that while small-,
mid- and large-capitalization growth companies will frequently exhibit
unsynchronized performance over a full economic cycle, investors should benefit
from holding growth companies across the size spectrum.
 
  As of January 31, 1997, the Fund's top five holdings as a percentage of total
net assets were General Electric (4.4%), Intel Corp. (4.3%), Coca-Cola Co.

  During the six months ended January 31, 1997, the Fund delivered a total
return of 21.41%/1/ (returns are for Retail Class without sales charge). That
compared to a 24.15% return for the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index.
 
  The Fund's performance was in part the result of our significant investment
in shares of rapidly growing mid-sized companies, which traded at attractive
levels. During the period, such shares lagged the performance of large-company
stocks; however, we felt that they provided some of the market's best long-term
opportunities.
 
  The Fund's portfolio is tilted towards sectors that will benefit from
continued economic growth: technology, capital goods and energy. The Fund's
exposure to technology climbed from 13.5% to 14.5% during the period. We
maintained our strong position in technology even when the sector experienced a
sell-off in July. We believe these securities offer excellent long-term growth
opportunities, and we are willing to ride out the sector's inevitable
fluctuations.

  The Fund's allocation to financial services was increased from 11.6% to 14.5%
during the period. This sector has been performing especially well reflecting a
combination of strong earnings, reasonable valuation and takeover activity. In
January, the Fund benefited nicely when one of its holdings in this sector,
First USA, agreed to be acquired by Banc One.
 
  Looking ahead, we feel the economy will continue to grow at a modest rate. We
will look for companies with strong earnings and dividend growth prospects,
emphasizing shares of firms that can provide the most growth at the best value.
We expect the technology sector to remain the most dynamic and strongest area
of growth in the U.S. market.

The performance of the Pacific Capital New Asia Growth Fund is measured against
the Morgan Stanley Capital International MSCI AC Far East Free ex 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.
 
  The past six months were both challenging and rewarding but have seen no
tremendous changes in market performances. Markets which had fallen early in
1996 continued to do so, while those markets which had seen solid appreciation
in the first half remained outperformers.
 
  In this type of environment asset allocation has proved important in pursuing
continued outperformance for the Fund. We avoided making substantial
investments in either Korea or Thailand. We believe the current economic
slowdowns in both of these countries will continue to inhibit stock market
performance, and we thus have reduced the Fund's weighting to a mere 6% of
total net assets.
 
  At the same time, other markets in the region, particularly Hong Kong and
Indonesia, have continued to see solid returns. The Fund currently has a 45.1%
(as a percent of total assets) weighting in these two markets alone. Hong Kong
continues to benefit from the recovery of the Chinese economy and increasing
integration between the territory and the People's Republic of China. Moreover,
Hong Kong's market has been supported by the steady interest-rate environment
in the United States, as its currency remains pegged to the U.S. dollar and
will remain so even after the transfer to China.
 
  Indonesia also has seen a gradual improvement in its economy. Inflation there
is well under control, having fallen from over 10% early last year all the way
to a 5.4% annual rate this year. Consequently, the government now has room to
ease interest rates, which have remained high particularly on the short end--
with three-month rates at 15% for more than two years. This easing of liquidity
should continue to bolster stock market performance.

  The Fund continues to use Hong Kong as its primary means to gain exposure to
China. For example, the Fund has invested in China Resources Enterprises Ltd.
(2.1%), one of the leading People's Republic of China backed conglomerates in
the territory. The group has a wide array of businesses, from property to
breweries to port operations, and continues to grow its investment portfolio
via acquisition. We look for the group to be a major player in Hong Kong after
1997.
 
  As of January 31, 1997, the Fund's top five holdings as a percent of net
assets were Hutchison Whampoa, Ltd. (3.4%), Cheung Kong Holdings, Ltd. (3.3%),

+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 January 31, 1987, 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
 is generally representative of the performance of long-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.
 
  The average maturity of the Fund's portfolio stood at 11.7 years at the start
of the six-month period that ended January 31, 1997. This was five years
shorter than the average maturity at the beginning of 1996, which made the Fund
less susceptible to losses as interest rates rose between February and July.
 
  During the second half of the year, interest rates began to fall and the bond
market rallied. We purchased longer-term Treasuries--which increase in value
more than shorter-term issues when interest rates decline--and continued to
gradually extend the portfolio's average maturity even when rates rose and bond
prices fell during December. At the end of the recent period, the average
maturity of the Fund's securities was 11.7 years. The Fund's total return for
the six months ended January 31, 1997, was 4.07%/1/ (returns are for Retail
Class without the sales charge).
 
  Going forward, we will maintain this aggressive strategy, with an average
maturity that is longer than the Fund's benchmark. We believe economic growth
will be considerably slower than it has been in the past few months. Our GDP
forecast for the first quarter of 1997 is 1.8%, which compares to a GDP growth
rate of 4.7%
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
 
for the fourth quarter of 1996. Inflation should remain low, and interest rates
may decline in such a slow-growth environment.
 
  We estimate that yields on 30-year Treasury bonds will fluctuate between
6.25% and 7.25% this year. When the yield moves closer to the lower end of that
range, we will become more defensive and shorten the Fund's duration, thereby
reducing its price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. When the long bond
approaches the high end of the range, we will purchase longer-term securities
that can benefit more from a decline in rates.
 
  Finally, investors should remember that this Fund takes an active duration
management strategy to help enhance returns and boost income. Thus, the Fund
often is more aggressive than the more conservative Short Intermediate U.S.
Treasury Securities Fund.

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.
 
  Early in 1996, investors' concerns about the economy's growing strength and
the potential for higher inflation caused interest rates to rise between
February and July. As a result, the Fund took a defensive posture by
positioning its duration and average maturity shorter than those of its
benchmark. The Fund began 1996 with an average maturity of 4.24 years and
reduced that to 3.28 years by July, thereby reducing the adverse price impact
on the portfolio from rising rates.
 
  As fears that the economy was growing too fast dissipated, interest rates in
September began to decline and bond prices rose. Since longer-term securities
perform especially well when interest rates fall, we began to extend the
average maturity of the securities in the portfolio during this time.
 
  We maintained this more-aggressive stance through the end of January, when
the average maturity of the portfolio was 4.3 years. It worked well during most
of the period. In December, however, economists' revisions about the strength
of the economy caused a temporary rise in interest rates. The yield on the 5-
year Treasury note increased from 5.83% in November to 6.21% by the end of
1996.
 
  Our bond market outlook remains positive. We believe that economic growth
during the first quarter of 1997 will slow considerably from the fourth quarter
of last year, and inflation should remain tame.
 
  We do not foresee the Federal Reserve raising short-term interest rates in
this type of slow-growth, low-inflation environment. In fact, there is a strong
possibility that the Fed will reduce rates this summer. Thus, we will maintain
the Fund's current position by leaning toward longer-term securities that will
benefit as the economy slows and interest rates fall.

+The quoted performance of the Pacific Capital Diversified Fixed Income 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 January 31, 1987, 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 Merrill Lynch Corporate and Government Master Index is unmanaged and is
 generally representative of the performance of corporate and U.S. Government
 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.
 
  The bond markets were volatile during the six months ended January 31, 1997,
mainly due to conflicting data about the strength of the economy and the
outlook for inflation. Interest rates on 30-Year Treasury Bonds ranged from as
low as 6.35% to as high as 7.15% during the period.
 
  Investors' concerns about the dollar's strength relative to the Japanese yen
also created uncertainty in the bond market. Some bondholders feared that the
strong dollar would make it more expensive for Japanese institutional investors
to buy U.S. bonds. Finally, the stock market's strong performance through
January drew money away from bonds, putting pressure on the fixed-income
market.
 
  We expected that the economy's growth rate would slow down, inflation would
remain under control and interest rates would decline. Thus, we maintained the
Fund's duration throughout the period at around 20% to 30% longer than the
duration of its index, the Merrill Lynch Corporate & Government Master Index.
(Longer-duration portfolios generally outperform short-duration portfolios
during periods of falling interest rates.) That strategy generally helped the
Fund's performance, as interest rates ended the period at around 6.79%-- about
one half of one percentage point lower than they had started.
 
                                       14

  We continued to favor high-quality issues because of the uncertain economic
outlook and the bond market's volatility. New funds received were invested for
the most part in Treasuries because there was a shortage of high-quality
corporate new issues, making them very expensive. We also favored non-callable
bonds, which generally perform better in a declining interest-rate environment.
 
  That high-quality approach dampened the performance of the Fund, which posted
a total return for the six month period of 4.06%/1/ (returns are for Retail
Class without the sales charge), compared to 4.75% for its benchmark. Investors
favored lower-quality "junk" bonds that offered more yield than other issues,
and junk bonds outperformed higher-quality issues as a result. We continue to
believe that investors are not being compensated enough for taking on the extra
risk in these lower-quality bonds, and we will continue to favor quality and
liquidity in our issue selection.
 
  We believe that economic growth will be moderate and inflation will remain in
check during the coming period. Already in 1997, we've seen interest rates
continue to decline, easing investors' inflation fears. We will maintain the
Fund's duration strategy as long as we expect interest rates to keep declining.
We also will continue to focus on high-quality issues--especially since the
financial soundness of some companies involved in recent acquisitions has
become questionable.
- --------
/1/With the maximum sales charge of 4.00%, the Fund's Retail Class shares had a
  total return of -0.14% for the six-month period.

 may have been adversely affected.
 
++The Fund has chosen to change the current benchmark of the Lehman Brothers
 20-Year Municipal Bond Index to the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index since
 the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index better reflects the Fund's focus of a
 broader range of maturities. The indices do not reflect the deduction of
 expenses 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.
 
  Cash flows continued to help the stock market dominate the financial
spotlight during the six months ended January 31, 1997. The bond markets
teetered between fears of excessive growth and exhilaration over low inflation.
Despite the resulting volatility, the bond markets performed well, with the 30-
year Treasury bond yield declining 17 basis points, in contrast to an increase
of 101 basis points during the previous six months. The municipal market
tracked the performance of the Treasury market, with the 30-year AAA general
obligation bond yield declining 16 basis points compared to an increase of 39
basis points during the previous six-month period.
 
  Fears of a flat tax, which plagued the municipal market early in the last
Presidential campaign, have completely dissipated. This, coupled with a
relatively low supply of munis, had caused municipal yields to fall relative to
Treasury yields. The ratio of muni yields to Treasury yields had reached a high
in excess of 90% at the height of the flat-tax debate and has dropped to a low
of 80% since the election.
 
  We continued to maintain a relatively long average maturity of approximately
9.2 years for the Fund in light of the income objective and our belief that
economic growth will slow due to high consumer
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
 
debt levels. Bearing in mind the Fund's additional objective of principal
preservation, we have continued to improve the credit quality of the portfolio
to help offset the risk of maintaining a longer duration. We also continued to
avoid the electric-utility and health-care sectors due to continuing reform in
those industries. In addition, we have continued to purchase secondary
insurance to attach to some Hawaii municipal bonds that we deem to be under
downgrade pressure as the state's economy continues to be soft. As a
consequence of our focus on credit quality, approximately 78% of the portfolio
is rated AAA and 22% is rated AA, the two highest ratings for municipal
securities.
 
  The Fund had a total return for the six-month period of 3.81%/1/ (returns are
for Retail Class without the sales charge) versus 4.50% and 4.15% for its
benchmarks, the Lehman Brothers 20-Year Municipal Bond Index and the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index. The underperformance of the Fund is due to the
lagging relative performance of the Hawaii municipal sector, which comprises
between 50% to 60% of the Fund's portfolio. In addition, the Fund's high
quality relative to its index also dampened performance during a period when
credit quality spreads narrowed as a result of low supply. Consistent with the
objective of the Fund, our strategy is to emphasize credit quality over yield
for long-term performance.

  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 5-Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index which
  tracks bonds with a maturity range of four to six years. It is important to
  note that the Fund only may 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 continued uncertainty over the strength of the economy caused bond market
sentiment to shift between expectations that the Federal Reserve would tighten
or ease credit. Citing low inflation and sustainable growth, the Federal
Reserve has maintained a neutral stance since it moved to reduce short-term
rates in January 1996. However, Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan has voiced the need
to remain vigilant toward potential inflationary pressures arising from a tight
labor market and the wealth created by the stock market's advance.
 
  During the six months ended January 31, 1997, short-term municipal securities
saw very little improvement, after experiencing a sharp decline in the previous
six months. Treasuries with comparable maturities fared better, as their yields
dropped more significantly. Despite municipals' recent underperformance
relative to Treasuries, municipal yields relative to Treasury yields have
remained persistently low, running between 63% to 70%. This is largely due to
the lack of supply in the muni market accompanied by increased demand as more
investors choose the lower volatility and safety of short-term bonds rather
than the potentially
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
 
higher returns of longer-term maturities. Unlike longer-term municipal
securities, short-term municipal securities did not experience a decline when
flat-tax proposals posed a concern for investors. On the contrary, they may
even have benefited, as some investors chose to sacrifice yield for safety.
 
  The Fund had a total return for the six-month period of 2.41%/1/ (returns are
for Retail Class without the sales charge), compared to 3.26% for its
benchmark, the Lehman Brothers 5-Year Municipal Bond Index. This lagging
performance is due to the fact that the Fund was structured with principal
preservation in mind. Although we believe that interest rates will decline, we
have not been aggressive in extending the average maturity as we would have
been if municipal yields relative to Treasury yields were more attractive.
Instead, we have sought to extend only when we can pick up attractive spreads
through swaps. The higher credit quality of the Fund also has dampened
performance in an environment where quality spreads have narrowed, favoring the
performance of lower-quality portfolios.
 
  Looking ahead, we expect inflation to remain low and economic growth to slow
down due to high consumer-debt levels. This combination should create an
environment for interest rates to decline. We intend to maintain the high
quality of the portfolio and extend the portfolio maturity opportunistically.

  certain state and local taxes.

  total return of 0.11% for the six-month period.

                               JANUARY 31, 1997
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
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 an unlimited number of shares without par value in two
 classes of shares for each Fund: 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.

  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.

  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.

                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
  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 and are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative net
  assets of each class, except 12b-1 fees which are allocated only to the
  Retail Class Shares. 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.
