ABBREVIATIONS AND
OTHER INFORMATION
With respect to the Schedules of Investments, the percentage shown for each
investment category reflects the value of investments in that category as a
percentage of total net assets.
Interest rates represent either the stated coupon rate, annualized yield on date
of purchase for discounted notes, or, for floating rate securities, the current
reset rate.
Prerefunding is a procedure in which a bond issuer floats a second bond in order
to pay off the first bond at the first call date. The proceeds from the sale of
the second bond are safely invested, usually in Treasury securities, that will
mature at the first call date of the first bond issue. Those first bonds are
said to be prerefunded after this operation has taken place.
Maturity dates represent the stated date on the security, the next interest
reset date for floating rate securities or the prerefunded date for these types
of securities.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30 , 1996
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Northern Funds was organized October 12, 1993 as a Massachusetts business
trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an
open-end management investment company consisting of 19 portfolios. The Money
Market, U.S. Government Money Market, Municipal Money Market, U.S. Government
Select Money Market and California Municipal Money Market Funds (collectively
the "Funds") are separate, diversified investment portfolios of Northern
Funds, except the California Municipal Money Market Fund which is a
non-diversified portfolio of Northern Funds. Non-diversified portfolios may
invest a relatively high percentage of their net assets in obligations of a
limited number of issuers. Each of the Funds maintains its own investment
objective. All of the Funds commenced investment operations during April
1994, with the exception of the California Municipal Money Market Fund and the
U.S. Government Select Money Market Fund, which commenced investment
operations during November and December 1994, respectively.
The Funds have entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with The
Northern Trust Company ("Northern Trust" or the "Adviser"). Northern Trust
also serves as custodian, fund accountant and transfer agent for the Funds.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"). The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
A. VALUATION OF SECURITIES - Short-term investments held by the Funds are
valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates market value.
Under this method, investments purchased at a discount or premium are
valued by amortizing the difference between the original purchase price
and maturity value of the issue over the period to maturity. Any
securities for which no current quotations are readily available are
valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser under the
supervision of the Board of Trustees.
B. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - During the term of a repurchase agreement, the
market value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, is
required to equal or exceed the market value of the repurchase agreement.
The underlying collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in a
customer-only account of Northern Trust, as custodian for the Funds, at the
Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
C. ORGANIZATIONS COSTS - Organization expenses of approximately $342,000 have
been deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis through
1999.
D. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME - Investment transactions are recorded
as of the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from
investment transactions by using an identified cost basis method. Interest
income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes amortization of
discounts and premiums.
E. EXPENSES - The Funds are charged for those expenses that are directly
attributable to each Fund. Expenses that are not directly attributable to
a Fund are typically allocated among the Funds in proportion to their
respective net assets.
F. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - Dividends from net investment income are
declared and paid as follows:
DECLARATION PAYMENT
FREQUENCY FREQUENCY
---------------------------------------------------------
Money Market Daily Monthly
U.S. Government Money
Market Daily Monthly
Municipal Money Market Daily Monthly
U.S. Government Select
Money Market Daily Monthly
California Municipal
Money Market Daily Monthly
---------------------------------------------------------
Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared at
least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
G. Federal Income Taxes - No provision for federal income taxes has been made
since the Funds intend to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code available to regulated investment companies and to distribute
substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders.
H. RECLASSIFICATIONS - At March 31, 1996, the Funds made reclassifications
among their capital accounts to reflect the characterization of certain
income and capital gain distributions for federal income tax purposes which
may differ from amounts determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, as follows:
UNDISTRIBUTED
NET PAID
INVESTMENT IN
INCOME CAPITAL
---------------------------------------------------------------
Money Market $50 $(50)
U.S. Government
Money Market 15 (15)
Municipal Money
Market 36 (36)
U.S. Government Select
Money Market 5 (5)
California Municipal
Money Market 5 (5)
---------------------------------------------------------------
These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the
Funds and are primarily due to differing treatments of certain fees and
expenses. Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts recorded at
March 31, 1995 to conform to the current financial statement presentation.
3. INESTMENTS ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Pursuant to its advisory agreement with the Funds, the Adviser is entitled to
receive a fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, at the annual rates
presented below as applied to each Fund's daily net assets. For the six
months ended September 30, 1996, the Adviser voluntarily agreed to waive a
portion of its advisory fees as applied to each Fund's daily net assets.
Northern Trust has also agreed to reimburse the Funds as shown on the
accompanying Statements of Operations to adhere to the expense limitations
presented in the following table:

The Funds have entered into an administrative agreement with Sunstone
Financial Group, Inc. ("Sunstone") for certain administrative services.
Pursuant to its administrative agreement with the Funds, Sunstone is entitled
to receive a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of
0.15% of each Fund's daily net assets. For the six months ended September 30,
1996, Sunstone voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its administration
fees as shown on the accompanying Statements of Operations.
4. BANK LOANS
Northern Funds maintains a $5,000,000 revolving bank credit line and a
$15,000,000 conditional revolving credit line for liquidity and other
purposes. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at 1% above the Fed
Funds rate and are secured by pledged securities equal to or exceeding 120% of
the outstanding balance.
There were no borrowings during the six months ended September 30, 1996.
This report has been prepared for the general information of Northern Funds
shareholders. It is not authorized for distribution to prospective investors
unless accompanied or preceded by a current Northern Fund prospectus, which
contains more complete information about Northern Funds investment policies,
management fees and expenses. Investors are reminded to read the prospectus
carefully before investing or sending money.
