                             LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
  The 12-month period ended July 31, 1998, was an eventful time for the U.S.
stock and bond markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average reached several new
highs during the period and gained 8.04%.
 
  Shares of large-company stocks continued to outperform small-company stocks
during the period. One major reason: The Asian financial crisis that began in
1997 created volatility in the U.S. stock market, causing investors to favor
shares of relatively large, stable firms in select industries. For example,
shares of large companies in the health-care and technology sectors performed
well.
 
  The bond market rallied during the period, with the yield on the 30-year
Treasury bond declining from 6.30% in August 1997 to 5.72% by late July 1998.
Similarly, short-term bond yields fell from 5.25% at the beginning of the
period to 5.09% by the end. One reason: Investors anticipated that the Asian
crisis would slow the growth of the U.S. economy, helping to push rates down.
 
  Economic growth remained strong during most of the period, and inflation
remained in check. The U.S. economy grew at a rapid pace of 5.5% in the first
quarter of 1998, as low interest rates lead to strong spending on new housing
construction. However, the combined effects of the Asian financial crisis and
the strike by General Motors' workers slowed domestic economic growth to 1.6%
in the second quarter of 1998.
 
STRONG PERFORMANCE FROM OUR FUNDS
 
  During the period, the Pacific Capital Funds posted impressive gains. Both
the Pacific Capital Growth and Income Fund and the Pacific Capital Growth Stock
Fund (Class A) posted returns in the top 28th percentile of their peer groups
as measured by Lipper Analytical Services./1/ For the 12-month period ended
July 31, 1998, the Pacific Capital Growth and Income Fund (Class A Shares
without sales charge) performed in line with the S&P 500/2/, gaining 19.10%
versus 19.31% for the index.
 
  The performance of the Pacific Capital stock funds reflected our approach of
investing in solid companies with above-average growth potential in the fastest
growing sectors of the economy. The Funds benefited from an overweighting,
compared to the S&P 500, in the health-care and technology sectors. We were
underweighted in the consumer staples, utilities and transportation sectors,
which did not offer attractive growth prospects.
 
  Among our fixed income funds the Diversified Fixed Income Fund (Class A)
performed in the top 10th percentile and the U.S. Treasury Securities Fund
(Class A) ranked in the top third of its peer group, as tracked by Morningstar,
for the 1 year period ending 7/31/98./3/ Throughout the period, our bond funds'
durations were approximately 20% longer than the durations of their benchmarks,
due to our belief that the Asian crisis would lead to slower U.S. economic
growth, low inflation and lower interest rates. That approach benefited the
Funds' performances as rates did indeed decline during much of the period.
- --------
/1/ The Pacific Capital Growth and Income Fund ranked 67th out of 688 Growth
 and Income Funds, and the Pacific Capital Growth Stock Fund ranked 250th out
 of 907 Growth Stock Funds as reported by Lipper Analytical Services for the
 one-year period ended 7/31/98. The Funds are not ranked for 5- and 10-year
 periods due to commingled performance. The Lipper ranking is based on total
 return and does not include a sales charge.
 
/2/ The Standard & Poor's 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally
 representative of the U.S. stock market.
 
/3/ For their 12-month performance, as tracked by Morningstar, the Diversified
 Fixed Income Fund ranked 28 out of 220 funds in the Corporate Bond--High
 Quality Prospectus Objective Category, and the U.S. Government Securities Fund
 ranked 22 out of 71 in the Government Treasury Prospectus Objective Category.
 The Funds are not ranked for 5- and 10-year periods due to commingled
 performance. The Morningstar ranking is based on total return and does not
 include a sales charge.

A CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT AHEAD
 
  We expect the overall environment for stocks and bonds to remain positive in
the months ahead. We believe the economy will likely grow at a rate of 2% to 3%
during the second half of 1998; inflation will remain low; and interest rates
may decline. Furthermore, the private sector represents more than 80% of the
U.S. Gross Domestic Product; since the private sector is more efficient than
the government sector, the economy can grow at a rapid pace without triggering
a rise in inflation. Demographic factors also are creating a positive
environment for stocks. The baby boomers continue to act more like savers and
investors than borrowers, and that group may continue to invest major inflows
of capital into the stock market as they prepare for their retirement.
 
  That said, we are pessimistic about Asia. The problems in that region will
likely continue for some time, which could dampen U.S. economic growth and
inflation. Already we see an increase in low-priced imports from Asian nations
into this country, a situation that will prevent U.S. firms from raising their
prices and will put pressure on profit margins. As a result, some companies may
have a tough time posting strong earnings in the months ahead. We expect
corporate earnings to grow by a relatively modest 2% to 4% in 1998.
 
  In that environment, the team of managers and analysts at the Pacific Capital
Funds are focusing on identifying companies that, in our view, can continue to
post strong revenues and earnings. We believe that shares of mid-sized and
large companies will continue to outperform small-company shares, because
modest Gross Domestic Product growth creates a tough environment for small-cap
stocks. However, some small-company stocks may perform well, since smaller
firms typically have less exposure to foreign markets.
 
A LONG-TERM APPROACH
 
  Shareholders can expect increased volatility in the stock market in the near
term, due to continued concerns over the effects of the Asian crisis on the
U.S. economy and domestic firms' profits. What's more, stocks have posted an
unprecedented three consecutive calendar years of 20% or better returns, as
reported by the S&P 500.
 
  Periods of stock market volatility such as the current one can be unsettling.
But such times also offer an opportunity to revisit the principles that guide
our investment strategy. One principle is consistency: We will maintain our
strategy regardless of temporary fluctuations in securities prices, and will
continue to invest in portfolios designed to meet the Pacific Capital Funds
stated long-term objectives.
 
  In that environment, we remind shareholders that investing requires a long-
term approach. During periods of volatility, investors are sometimes tempted to
exit the stock market completely. However, over long periods, stocks
historically have outperformed other asset classes such as bonds and cash and
therefore may offer the best chance of meeting your long-term financial goals.
 
                                       2

  We continually seek to bring to our shareholders new funds that offer
exposure to various segments of the financial markets. In the near future, we
hope to introduce three new funds to the Pacific Capital fund family, perhaps
including a small-company stock fund and an international equity fund.
 
  Thank you for your continued confidence in the Pacific Capital family of
funds. As always, we will continue to seek investment opportunities that may
help you meet your long-term goals, while monitoring investment risk. If you
have any questions or would like a Fund prospectus, with information including
sales charge information, fees and expenses, please contact your registered
investment consultant, or call Pacific Capital Funds at (800) 258-9232. Please
read it carefully before you invest or send money.

During the period, we increased
the Fund's exposure to the                
technology and                            
telecommunications services               
sectors with money raised                  
through selective sales in
the financial services and consumer staples sectors. Within the technology
sector, we increased exposure to personal computer manufacturers as signs
emerged that the industry's inventory glut had been worked down to manageable
levels.

Looking forward, we believe that the best investment returns can be achieved
by remaining focused on leading companies participating in the highest growth
sectors. With that in mind, we will continue to overweight the Fund in the
technology, health-care and financial services sectors compared to the Funds
benchmarks.

   PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS. 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.
/1/The Lipper Growth Funds Index consists of funds that generally invest in
   companies with long-term earnings expected to grow significantly faster than
   the earnings of the stocks represented in the major unmanaged stock indices.
  +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 July 31, 1988, and prior to the
   Fund's commencement of operations on November 1, 1993, for the A Class, and
   on October 14, 1994, for the Y 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.
   Class B Shares were not in existence prior to March 2, 1998. Performance
   calculated for any period up to and through March 2, 1998, is based upon the
   performance of the Class A Shares, which does not reflect the higher 12b-1
   fees or the contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). Had the CDSC and
   higher 12b-1 fees been incorporated, total return figures may have been
   adversely affected.
 ++The Fund has changed its benchmark 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.

the Growth and Income Fund           
delivered a return of 19.10%
(returns are for Class A without

During the last quarter, we maintained the Fund's emphasis on beneficiaries of
three major trends: first, the financial industry's ongoing consolidation and
asset-gathering capabilities; second, improved consumer confidence and
employment levels; and third, strong technology related capital spending.
 
We believe the Fund, with its low cash position and strong growth orientation,
is positioned to do well in the current environment of continued moderate
economic growth and projected low inflation.

/1/The Lipper Growth and Income Funds Index combines a growth-of-earnings
   orientation and an income requirement for level and/or rising dividends.
/2/The Pacific Capital Growth and Income Fund ranked 67th out of 688 Growth
   and Income Funds for the 1-year period as reported by Lipper Analytical
   Services. The Fund is not ranked for 5- and 10-year periods due to commingled
   performance. Lipper ranking is based on total return and does not include a
   sales charge.
  +The quoted performance of the Pacific Capital Growth and Income 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 July 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.
   Class B Shares were not in existence prior to March 2, 1998. Performance
   calculated for any period up to and through March 2, 1998, is based upon the
   performance of the Class A Shares, which does not reflect the higher 12b-1
   fees or the contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). Had the CDSC and
   higher 12b-1 fees been incorporated, total return figures may have been
   adversely affected.
 ++The Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index is unmanaged and is generally
   representative of the performance of the domestic 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

During the second quarter, we 
watched as first quarter gains
were eroded, with January's lows         
re-tested and in most cases              
broken. We continue
to focus on sectors where we see stable cash flows and continued long-term
growth potential, such as investments in telecommunications, power and
infrastructure, which currently account for over 25% of the Fund's portfolio.
We are focusing on sectors that we believe benefited from the Asian crisis,
e.g., Asian electronic manufacturers, as many have U.S. dollar revenues and
Asian-currency based costs. Going forward, we will continue to expand the
Fund's exposure to Asian exports, particularly in the electronics sector,
which to date has continued to show robust sales and profit growth.
 
Update: After the date of this report, the Malaysian Government announced an
imposition of capital controls. Although shares held in Malaysian stocks can
be traded, shares purchased prior to September 1, 1998 need to be held until
September 1, 1999, before sales proceeds can be converted into another
currency. As of September 4, 1998, Malaysian shares constituted 1.14% of the
Fund's holdings. Due to the small percentage of Malaysian holdings, the
controls are unlikely to have any material negative impact.

++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

The international economic situation caused a "flight to quality," which
resulted in a widening spread for corporate debt instruments versus Treasury
securities. This widening was most pronounced in the lower quality (BBB and
lower) credits. We have concentrated the Funds holdings in the AA and AAA
credits, which have widened slightly but have outperformed lower quality
issues.

We continue to focus on high-quality names, and we will use the widening
spread opportunities to slightly increase our corporate and government agency
bond positions. Portfolio duration is 1.2 times the index duration,
commensurate with our forecast for lower rates.

The robust growth in the U.S.
economy showed signs of slowing
during May and July as problems                 
in Asia began to impact the                         
export sectors of the
economy. We believe market participants' growing recognition that the world
economy could slow, and that earnings expectations for many companies were too
high, proved favorable for the bond markets.
 
In our view, falling commodity prices, the lack of demand pressures, and
austere fiscal policy around the world argue for a strong bond market in the
months ahead. With the deflationary pressures growing, we will use periods of
bond market weakness to extend duration to near the top of our strategic
policy range.

As stated in the U.S. Treasury            
Securities Fund, the robust               
growth in the U.S. economy
showed signs of
slowing during May and July as problems in Asia began to impact the export
sectors of the economy. We believe market participants' growing recognition
that the world economy could slow, and that earnings expectations for many
companies were too high, proved favorable for the bond markets.
 
We will attempt to push the Fund's duration toward its upper limit, based upon
our belief that it would be difficult for the Federal Reserve to maintain its
tightening bias due to worldwide economic weakness and the lack of
inflationary pressure. In fact, with the financial meltdown in Russia, the
prospects of devaluation in Latin America and a second round in Asia, it may
be more likely that the next Federal Reserve move will be toward easing
interest rates.

During the past quarter, the
U.S. bond market benefited from
the "flight to quality"                  
generated by the deepening               
crisis in Asia, Russia and Latin         
America. The municipal market,           
however, did not
fully participate in the rally, as it did not benefit from the "flight to
quality" that boosted the Treasury market. Unabated supply pressures, coupled
with lackluster cashflows in municipal bond funds, have contributed to the
weaker performance. Hawaii municipal bonds continue to trade cheap relative to
the AAA curve. The yen's weakness has imposed hardship on the tourism sector,
as it has curbed the number of Japanese visitors. We believe hopes of a
recovery are tied to Asia's ability to implement financial reform.
 
We are still positioned longer than the index duration, and are actively
looking for bonds with good call protection to replace refunded issues. The
portfolio has a heavy emphasis on quality, as extremely tight spreads do not
support the argument for credit sacrifice.

As stated in the Tax-Free
Securities Fund, the U.S. bond         
market benefited from the              
"flight to quality"                      
generated by the deepening crisis in Asia, Russia and Latin America. The
municipal market, however, did not fully participate in the rally as it did
not benefit from the "flight to quality" that boosted the Treasury market.
Unabated supply pressures, coupled with lackluster cashflows in municipal bond
funds, have contributed to the weaker performance. Hawaii municipal bonds
continue to trade cheap relative to the AAA curve. The yen's weakness has
imposed hardship on the tourism sector, as it has curbed the number of
Japanese visitors. We believe hopes of a recovery are tied to Asia's ability
to implement financial reform.
 
We continue to maintain the maximum average maturity allowable by prospectus
guidelines, because of our belief that the Federal Reserve will ease to
prevent a global recession. The portfolio remains committed to very high
quality, as credit and sector spreads are almost non-existent on the shorter
end of the yield curve.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS. 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.
/1/The Shareholder's income from the Fund may be subject to certain state and
   local taxes and, depending on your tax status, the Federal Alternative
   Minimum Tax.
/2/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 July
   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.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Pacific Capital Funds
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of portfolio investments, of Pacific Capital Funds
(comprised of Growth Stock Fund, Growth and Income Fund, New Asia Growth Fund,
Diversified Fixed Income Fund, U.S. Treasury Securities Fund, Short
Intermediate U.S. Treasury Securities Fund, Tax-Free Securities Fund, and Tax-
Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund) (the Funds) as of July 31, 1998, and
the related statements of operations for the year then ended, statements of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and
financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. 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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 1998, by correspondence with
the custodian and others. 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 each
of the respective portfolios constituting Pacific Capital Funds as of July 31,
1998, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in
their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their
financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JULY 31, 1998
 
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 an 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 three
 classes of shares for each Fund: A Class (formerly known as Retail Class), B
 Class and Y Class (formerly known as Institutional Class). The Y Class
 commenced operations October 14, 1994 when the Trust identified those
 Institutional Shareholders that were part of the A Class (as of October 13,
 1994) and transferred the Shareholders into the Y Class. Currently, only the
 Growth Stock Fund, Growth and Income Fund, New Asia Growth Fund, Diversified
 Fixed Income Fund, and Tax-Free Securities Fund offer B Class Shares, which
 commenced operations on March 2, 1998. A Class Shares are subject to initial
 sales charges, imposed at the time of purchase, in accordance with the
 Funds' prospectuses. B Class Shares are subject to a contingent deferred
 sales charge (CDSC) on sales of shares made within six years of the date of
 purchase. Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and
 privileges except with respect to distribution (12b-1) fees paid by A 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 seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal and Hawaii
 income taxes. Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund seeks a high level
 of current income exempt from federal and Hawaii income taxes with a greater
 price stability than a long-term bond fund. 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

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
                                 JULY 31, 1998

 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 costs 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 to
 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 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 basis. 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 (the Adviser) 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 from net realized capital gains are
 determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from
 generally accepted accounting principles.

 These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in
 nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such
 amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their
 federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
 reclassifications. Dividends and distributions to shareholders which exceed
 net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting
 purposes but not for tax purposes are reported as dividends in excess of net
 investment income or distributions in excess of net realized gains. To the
 extent they exceed net investment income and realized gains for tax
 purposes, they are reported as distribution of capital. During the current
 fiscal year, permanent differences were primarily due to differing
 treatments for foreign currency transactions and different book/tax
 accreation of certain income items.
 
 As of July 31, 1998, the following reclassifications have been made to
 increase (decrease) such accounts with offsetting adjustments made to
 additional paid-in-capital:

 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.
