                             LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
  The six-month period that ended January 31, 1998, was marked by mixed
performances in the stock and bond markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
peaked in August at 8259, but it declined after that and was down 3.51% for the
period. That performance was in accord with our view that U.S. stocks had
become fully valued.
 
  The bond market benefited from falling interest rates during the six-month
period, with the yield on a 30-year Treasury bond declining from 6.30% to
5.86%. The rate decline was driven in part by continued low inflation, concerns
that financial difficulties in Asia would dampen worldwide economic growth, and
the projected 1998 U.S. budget surplus.
 
  In that environment, the Pacific Capital Funds performed exceptionally well.
The Pacific Capital Growth and Income Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index* and
the Lipper Growth and Income Funds Index** with a gain of 4.74%/1/. The returns
for the S&P 500 and the Lipper Growth and Income Funds Index were 3.56% and
2.37%, respectively, for the period. Our bond funds also performed well
relative to their respective peer groups, with the Diversified Fixed Income
Fund posting a total return of 5.15%/1/ compared to 3.99% for the Lipper Income
Fund Index.*** The Pacific Capital Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund
posted a positive return of 2.37%/1/ outperforming its peer group the Lipper
Short Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds.**** (All returns shown for the Pacific
Capital Funds are for Retail Class A without load.)
 
FINDING OPPORTUNITIES IN STOCKS AND BONDS
 
  The performance of the Pacific Capital stock funds reflected our commitment
to investing in companies with above-average growth potential in the fastest
growing sectors of the economy. During the recent period, the Funds were
overweighted in shares of health-care and technology companies. In the health-
care sector, pharmaceutical stocks posted strong gains. In addition, in the
technology sector, price volatility provided opportunities to purchase shares
of strong companies at low prices.
 
  Our bond funds benefited from our decision to lengthen the average maturities
of the portfolios and their durations late last summer. We increased the Funds'
durations to approximately 20% longer than those of their benchmarks, an
increase from 10% longer than the benchmarks at the start of the period. We
made that decision because our overseas contacts anticipated that Asian
economies would encounter problems, which in turn might contribute to slower
growth, lower inflation and, thus, falling interest rates in the United States.
 
SLOWER GROWTH AHEAD
 
  The crisis in Asia should have a dampening effect on world economies. Slower
economic growth could allow the Federal Reserve Board to ease interest rates
sometime this year, which should continue to support bond prices. Meanwhile,
low inflation in this country could keep real yields attractive.
 
  The fundamental background for the stock market remains positive. U.S. fiscal
policy has resulted in a lower deficit, freeing up more money for the more
efficient private sector. Demographic factors also continue to be favorable,
with the Baby Boom generation reaching their fifties--the age range in which
people tend to be
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
 
savers and investors rather than borrowers. Already the stock market has seen
major inflows of capital from that segment of the population, and we expect
that trend to continue. In addition, corporate objectives increasingly mirror
shareholder objectives, with a focus on return on equity and profit margins
rather than just on size.
 
  That said, stocks have posted three consecutive years of gains greater than
20%--an unprecedented run. Moreover, the external forces contributing to slower
U.S. economic growth will also put pressure on corporate earnings. Therefore,
we estimate that corporate earnings will grow by 4% to 6% in 1998, compared to
a rate of approximately 10% in 1997. Thus, this year may be an even more
important time to reconsider the basic investment principles that are the key
to long-term gains. Among these principles:
 
  . Establish your investment objective and risk tolerance before you invest.
  . Diversify among various asset classes to manage financial risk.
  . Consider tax-advantaged strategies.
  . Stick with your plan, riding out market fluctuations and boosting your
    portfolio with a regular savings program.
 
NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PACIFIC CAPITAL FUNDS
 
  On March 2, 1998, the Pacific Capital Funds added B shares to the existing
family of Class A and Y shares. B shares are structured to offer investors a
contingent deferred sales charge. This additional pricing structure has been
added to enhance the Funds' appeal to prospective customers, and, thus, attract
more assets to the Funds.
 
  In addition, as of February 2, 1998, the funds have a new transfer agent,
BISYS Fund Services. This change will enhance the funds' services. For example,
customers can take advantage of an after-hours voice response system that
provides share-price, performance and account information.
 
  Thank you for your confidence in the Pacific Capital Family of Funds. During
the coming months, we will continue to monitor investment risk and to seek
investment opportunities that will help you meet your long-term goals. If you
have any questions or would like a Fund prospectus, please contact your
registered investment representative, or call BISYS Fund Services at (800) 258-
9232.
 
Sincerely,

 +The quoted performance of the Pacific Capital Growth Stock Fund ("Fund")
  includes the performance of certain common trust fund ("Commingled") accounts
  advised by Pacific Century Trust and managed the same as the Fund in all
  material respects, for periods dating back to January 31, 1988, 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 Fund has changed its benchmarck from the S&P/BARRA Growth Index to the
  S&P 500 Stock Index, to better reflect the Fund's investment latitude. The
  Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index is generally representative of the broad
  domestic stock universe, and the S&P/BARRA Index is representative of a less
  diversified index of large growth stocks; they are both unmanaged and do not
  reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as
  investment management and fund accounting fees.
 
  Investment return and net asset value (NAV) will fluctuate, so that an
  investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original
  cost.
 
  The Fund posted a total return of 3.01%/1/ during the six months ended
January 31, 1998 (returns are for Retail Class without the sales charge). That
compared to a 3.56% return for the S&P 500 Stock Index.
 
  The most important event during the period was the financial crisis in Asia.
The Asian problems hurt companies with international orientations, especially
those that are sensitive to global capital spending. That group includes two
sectors overweighted by the Fund: technology and oil services companies.
However, our strategy of holding industry leaders like Compaq (4.3% of net
assets in the portfolio) and Schlumberger (2.41%) helped bolster the Fund,
since such companies held up relatively well.
 
  Its overweighting in health-care stocks, which did well during the period,
also helped the Fund's performance relative to its benchmark. Health care, an
essential growth area for the Fund, is not affected by fluctuations in global
capital spending. We increased the Fund's weighting in that sector from 18.07%
to 20.8%.
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
  We also felt that fears about the Asian crisis affecting the technology
sector were overblown. Thus, we used the downturn in technology stocks to buy
industry leaders at bargain prices, positioning the Fund to do well in a market
rebound. The Fund's technology weighting rose from 19.64% to 22.57% of the
portfolio's assets.
 
  We believe that the long-term outlook for the U.S. stock market is positive,
and we will continue to invest in high-growth stocks. In particular, we intend
to remain heavily exposed to the technology and health-care sectors, using dips
in stock prices as buying opportunities.
 
  As of January 31, 1998, the Fund's top five holdings as a percent of total
net assets were Merck (4.5%), Philip Morris (4.4%), Compaq (4.3%), Travelers
(3.3%), and Cisco Systems (3.3%)./2/

compared to a return of 3.56% for the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and a
return of 2.37% for the Lipper Growth & Income Fund Index.
 
  Market performance was volatile during the period, reflecting the Asian
financial crisis. Although the technology stocks generally lagged during the
period, certain software and networking stocks in the portfolio did well, one
being Cisco Systems (2.14% of net assets in the portfolio). The Fund also
benefited from its overweighting in health care, one of the top-performing
sectors during the period. In particular, the major pharmaceutical stocks, such
as Pfizer (1.51%), performed well. Lastly, telecommunications stocks did
surprisingly well, with Century Telephone (1.21%) earning a total return of
44%.
 
  We increased the Fund's exposure to domestic retail stocks by adding Kohl's
Department Stores (1.24%) and Newell Co. (1.00%). Newell imports from Asia and
thus is likely to benefit from weak currencies in that region. We also took new
positions in selected money-management firms. Among them was T. Rowe Price
(1.11%), which we felt was undervalued. The technology sector's volatility
created bargains in that sector, and we added to the Fund's stake in Compaq
(2.97%) when its price declined.
 
 
                                       6

  Going forward, we expect slower economic growth. We will continue to monitor
closely both topline sales and earnings momentum. We anticipate maintaining
overweightings in technology and health care, while building an overweighting
in financial stocks.
 
  As of January 31, 1998, the Fund's top five holdings as a percent of total

++The performance of the Pacific Capital New Asia Growth Fund is measured
  against the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) AC Far East Free 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 six months ended January 31, 1998, the Fund's net asset value
declined from $13.89 to $7.70 (Retail Class), and the Fund posted a total
return of -37.96%./1/ That compared to a -49.85% loss for the Fund's benchmark,
the MSCI AC Far East Free ex Japan Index.
 
  The continued economic problems in Southeast Asia led to significant declines
in the markets of that region during the period. However, the Fund's large
investments in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan helped reduce losses, as those
markets weathered the crisis relatively well. We continued to invest heavily in
sectors that we believe can generate long-term sustainable growth.
Infrastructure is one such sector; companies in that area recently accounted
for around 20% of the portfolio. Electronics companies stood at 17% of the
portfolio./2/
 
  We reduced the Fund's exposure to consumer-related stocks, which now account
for only about 6% of the portfolio. That decision reflects concern about
slowing economic growth in the region and its likely impact on consumer demand.
 
  There may be continued volatility in Asia during the coming months. However,
investor concerns have in some cases been overblown. For example, some
investors worry that China might devalue its currency to make it easier for
their exports to compete with exports from other countries in the region, such
as Thailand. However, the Chinese government is very aware of the risks of
devaluing their currency and does not need to do so at this time. Economic
growth may slow in the region, and some countries may experience recessions.

  The turmoil in Asia has created a number of opportunities for the Fund. We
anticipate that by mid-February we will act to reduce the cash stake of the
portfolio from around 40% of assets to approximately 25%. We will focus on
companies that are likely to emerge from the crisis with increased market
shares and better competitive positions.
 
  Export-related stocks may have potential to become a much higher percentage
of the portfolio going forward, with a special focus on export-oriented
businesses that have U.S. dollar revenues. That will increase our exposure to
Taiwan and electronics. However, we will be mindful of the somewhat high
valuations in Taiwan as well as of concerns for a potential slowdown in demand
for personal computers.
 
  The recent declines in these markets may have caused some investors to
rethink their commitment to the region. Our commitment remains strong, and we
will look for ways to take advantage of the recent downturn by investing in
companies and sectors whose qualities may have been overlooked in the recent
environment.

 +The quoted performance of the Pacific Capital U. S. Treasury Securities Fund
  ("Fund") includes the performance of certain common trust fund ("Commingled")

  all material respects, for periods dating back to January 31, 1988, 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

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

  Interest rates generally moved lower during the six-month period, with most
of the decline coming among longer term securities. For example, the yield on a
30-year Treasury bond fell from 6.30% at the start of the period to 5.86% on
January 31, 1998. Several important factors contributed to that interest rate
decline.
 
  First, economic turmoil in Asia caused a flight of capital from those markets
into other investments--including the U.S. Treasury market. Concerns that the
Asian markets' crisis would contribute to a global slowdown in GDP (Gross
Domestic Product) growth also were favorable for the bond market. Second,
domestic fiscal and monetary policy contributed to the strong performance of
the bond market. A projected 1998 budget surplus could mean that fewer new
bonds will need to be issued in the coming year, which should support existing
bond prices. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve refrained from changing interest
rates during the period.
 
  Third, inflation remained very low during the period, making bonds' real
returns more attractive to investors. In that environment, we extended the
Fund's average maturity and duration to lock-in higher yields.

  We increased the Fund's average maturity from 8.66 years at the start of the
period to 9.76 years by January 31, 1998, raising the duration from 5.39 years
to 6.05 years. The Fund's duration is now 20% longer than that of its index,
the Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasuries All Maturity Index./1/
 
  Looking ahead, we will seek to maintain the Fund's duration and average
maturity longer than those of its benchmark. We also believe the Asian economic
crisis will contribute to slower growth in the United States. In that
environment we expect long-term interest rates to continue to decline, boosting
the prices of the longer term securities that the Fund holds.

  Short-term interest rates declined during the six months ended January 31,
1998, reflecting a combination of factors that supported bond prices. Most
significant was the economic turmoil in Asia, which many investors believe will
result in slower economic growth worldwide. In the United States, inflation
remained in check during the period, and therefore, the Federal Reserve kept
the federal funds rate steady at 5.5%. Further good news for bonds came in the
form of a projected U.S. budget surplus in 1998.
 
  The Fund began the period with its duration and average maturity slightly
shorter than those of its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 3-5-Year Treasury Index.
When rates began falling, we extended the Fund's average maturity and duration
to lock-in higher yields. We increased the Fund's average maturity from 3.91
years at the start of the period to 4.11 years by January 31, 1998, extending
the duration from 3.21 years to 3.46 years. The Fund's duration is now
approximately 4% longer than that of its benchmark./1/

  We believe that the Asian economic crisis will contribute to slower growth in
the United States. That should allow the Federal Reserve to lower short-term
interest rates in the second quarter of 1998. Once that occurs, we will further
lengthen the Fund's average maturity and duration to keep the Fund's position
longer than that of its benchmark. However, since we are currently close to the
Fund's average maturity limit of five years, we do not expect any lengthening
to be particularly dramatic.

  The economy continued to show evidence of strong growth during the six-month
period that ended January 31, 1998. After rising early in the period due to
investor fears that a tight labor market would rekindle inflation, interest
rates ended the period lower. The yield on a 30-year U.S. Treasury bond fell
from 6.30% to 5.86%. In that environment, the Fund posted a total return of
5.15%/1/ for the period (returns are for Retail Class without the sales
charge).
 
  Rates fell because the flight to quality from the Asian economic crisis
resulted in strong buying of U.S. Treasury bonds and other U.S. dollar-
denominated securities. Investors also anticipated that the Asian economic
problems would slow U.S. domestic economic growth. Those factors combined with
continued low inflation to bring interest rates back down to the lowest levels
we have seen in several years.
 
  In that environment, we extended the Fund's duration from 5.2 years to 6.3
years--20% longer than that of its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch Corporate &
Government Master Index. The Fund's average maturity rose from 8 years to 11.5
years.

  We invested 35% of the Fund's assets in U.S. Treasury bonds and 12% in agency
securities. The remaining 53% of the portfolio was invested in AA and AAA-rated
corporate bonds. Such high-quality securities outperformed lower rated issues
during the period. The average credit quality of the Fund's holdings remained
AAA./2/
 
  Looking ahead, we expect the Asian financial crisis to have a global
deflationary effect and to contribute to slower domestic economic growth in
1998. With inflation still low, we believe the Federal Reserve will act to
lower interest rates during the second quarter of 1998. We will seek to
continue to position the Fund longer than its benchmark to capture higher
yields and greater potential price appreciation if interest rates decline.

crisis in Asia, which spread its way through the global financial markets. The
30-year Treasury yield began the period at 6.30%, moved to a high of 6.69% in
mid-September, and fell to a low of 5.69% in mid-January before rising to 5.80%
on January 31, 1998. The municipal bond market took its direction from the
Treasury market, but the volatility was less pronounced. The 30-year AAA G.O.
yield started the period at 5.06%, moved to 5.30% on September 1, 1997, fell to
a low of 4.80% on January 15, 1998, and ended the period at 4.92%.
 
  During the period, cash flow into municipal bond funds remained very flat, as
investors' attention continued to be drawn to the equity markets. Unexpected
refunding issues boosted new issue supply in the market, as interest rates
declined to levels not seen since 1993. Credit spreads also continued to narrow
as the overall credit quality of many states and municipalities continued to
improve, a reflection of the strength of the national economy. Hawaii,
unfortunately, did not participate in this prosperity as it slid into the
seventh year of economic doldrums. Fortunately for the Fund, we have been
proactive in the purchase of secondary insurance to attach to most of the
Hawaii bonds to immunize the portfolio against credit-quality deterioration. We
also
 
                                       16

have focused our efforts in bolstering the portfolio with insured and high-
grade bonds from economically strong states to fulfill the balanced objectives
of diversification, performance and principal preservation.
 
  For the period ended January 31, 1998, the Fund had a six-month total return
of 3.76%/1/, and a one year total return of 9.30% (returns are for Retail
Class without the sales charge). The one-year return would translate to a
higher double-digit taxable equivalent return depending on one's marginal tax
rate. Because of our emphasis on credit quality, the Fund continues to have an
average rating of AAA. The non-Hawaii portion of the Fund continues to be
invested in "specialty states" (states with a high state income tax and
concentration of wealth to enhance liquidity and performance) that show a
sound diverse economic base with potential for improvement, such as
California./2/
 
  It is our opinion that the Asian financial crisis will continue to unravel,
giving support to the notion that it will slow down exports while imports from
the region will compete with domestic goods to keep prices down. The threat of
recession or global financial meltdown may prevent the Federal Reserve from
tightening interest rates. All this, together with the absence of inflationary
pressures, as evidenced by both the PPI (Producer Price Index) and the CPI
(Consumer Price Index) data to date and the anticipated slowdown in the
domestic economy, combines to create a very positive scenario for the bond
market. We have positioned the portfolio with a longer average maturity and
duration to take advantage of the potential rally.

/1/ With the maximum sales charge of 4.00%, the Fund's Retail Class shares had
    a total return of -0.39% for the six-month period, and 4.91% for the one-
    year period.

 +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 Pacific Century Trust 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 5-Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index that
  tracks bonds with a maturity range of four to six years. It is important to
  note that the Fund may invest only in bonds with a maturity range of five
  years or less. 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 six-month period through January 31, 1998, was marked by financial
turmoil in Southeast Asia and volatility throughout the global equity markets.
The Federal Reserve opted to leave interest rates unchanged in light of those
conditions as well as an absence of inflationary pressures and the presence of
signs of a slowdown in the U.S. domestic economy. Against this backdrop, the
bond market pushed through to new highs, supported by a flight to quality and
safety.
 
  Municipal bonds gained less than Treasury bonds as the overall bond market
rallied. Yields on short-term municipal securities declined five basis points
during the six-month period, compared to a larger decline of approximately half
a percentage point on comparable Treasuries. Because of the lagging
performance, short-term municipal bond yields as a ratio of Treasury yields
cheapened from below 70% to approximately 75% of Treasury yields.

  With the threat of a Federal Reserve tightening substantially reduced, we
were aggressive in extending the Fund's average maturity from three years at
the beginning of the period to five years (the maximum allowable maturity for
the Fund) on January 31, 1998. The Fund also continued to emphasize credit
quality, with an average rating of AAA, in part because lower quality issues
offered only a very small yield advantage. Meanwhile, the Fund's holdings
(approximately 60% of assets) in Hawaiian municipal issues offered state
residents double tax-exempt yields, while its investments outside of the state
offered the benefits of diversification./1/
 
  The Asian financial crisis, which continues to unfold, likely will reduce
U.S. exports and economic growth. Furthermore, the devaluation of Asian
currencies will cause imports to be more competitive, and thus keep a lid on
domestic prices. In light of our bullish outlook, we will seek to continue to
maintain a longer average maturity for the Fund while remaining focused on
credit quality.

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. On March 2, 1998 the Growth Stock Fund, the Growth and Income
 Fund, the Diversified Fixed Income Fund, the Tax Free Securities Fund and
 the New Asia Growth Fund commenced offering B Class Shares. B Class Shares
 are subject to a deferred sales charge, imposed at the time of redemption,
 if shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. Each class of shares
 for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to
 distribution (12b-1) fees paid by Retail and B 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 Funds' 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

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
                               JANUARY 31, 1998
                                  (UNAUDITED)

 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 exdividend 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
 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.
 
 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.
