DANIEL J. FUSS
President
Dear Shareholders:
Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan, recently remarked before Congress
that he had been in the economic forecasting business for over fifty years and
felt he could forecast reasonably well, but "this is a tough one". I'm sure
Chairman Greenspan would be happy to know that I agree with him. This is a tough
one. Many are able to discern the obvious economic guideposts and extrapolate
what might happen in the markets. Of course, the trouble with forecasting is
none of us know what may lurk around the corner.
My letter to you of last year spoke about many of the same issues we face
today. So much has happened in the intervening year, and yet it is remarkable
how little has changed.
Fortunately, the world is still at peace and that's particularly good for
worldwide financial markets. However, the Indian and Pakistani nuclear testing
has jarred complacency about peace and the political instability in Indonesia
is also very unsettling.
There is abundant liquidity in the markets, which has recently become more
unevenly distributed. Currently, there's a lot of money in what are perceived
to be "safe" investments - U.S. Treasuries and the familiar names of large
capitalization stocks, while more risky areas have much less. Liquidity in the
system always invites mischief. Savvy money managers, looking for quick money,
are shorting thinly traded currencies of countries with weak economies. This
increases the risk to those countries and has hampered their attempts at
economic recovery in the longer term.
On the home front, the U.S. economy remains strong. But without clear signs of
resurgent inflation or serious economic repercussions from the Asian crisis,
the Federal Reserve seems reluctant to take significant monetary policy
actions. Valuation levels on equities seem high, particularly as earnings
growth is likely to slow. Large cap stocks have had a good run in this bull
market, but the margin for error is higher now. This puts a premium on paying
close attention to your investments and remaining well diversified.
Diversifying into fixed income assets could be a prudent move for many.
Markets go up and markets go down. That is their nature. It's always been
tough to say just when. We can see the signs and evaluate the risks, but it's
hard to know just when to expect the unexpected.
Thanks for investing with us.
Sincerely,
/S/ Daniel J. Fuss

TAX-FREE INCOME FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the quarter we continued to consolidate and lengthen the portfolio by
selling bonds with calls in 1999 and 2000 and purchasing bonds with calls in
2002 and 2003. Lengthening modestly in callable bonds should help us maintain
our current income and provide appreciation potential as interest rates move
lower over the next year.
The municipal market underperformed the US Treasury market as interest rates
moved lower. This was caused by a large calendar of new municipal issues, and
a reduction in Treasury offerings due to the budget surplus.
During the first half of 1998, the municipal bond market experienced extremely
high volume of $146.4 billion representing the third largest six month period
in municipal history. From a volume perspective, the first half of 1993 when
yields plummeted and refunding skyrocketed, and the second half of 1985 as
issuers rushed in to evade proposed limitations under tax reform were the only
instances to date with greater volume. Refunding volume was up 118% which
should begin to taper off as refunding candidates dissipate.
Health care, transportation (highway and airports) and particularly electric
power were the largest issuing sectors this half.
Once the heavy volume prevalent in today's municipal market retreats, we
expect that tax-exempts should begin to outperform the Treasury market. We are
focusing on when this could take place, and are less concerned with whether it
will occur.
The California Tax-Free Income Fund was ahead 1.16% for the second quarter
versus a return of 1.10% for the Lipper California Intermediate Municipal Bond
Fund Index. The Fund was ahead 2.33% year to date versus 1.97% for the same
Index.
Robert K. Payne is the portfolio manager for the California Tax-Free
Income Fund.

LOOMIS SAYLES CORE FIXED INCOME FUND
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The combination of low inflation and a greater appetite for U.S. debt
securities led to stronger returns for bond market investors in the second
quarter. The bond market, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Corporate/
Government Bond Index, rose 2.6% during the quarter. Recall that the bond
market had only a mediocre 1.6% return in the first quarter. As such, the bond
market is on pace to provide a 7.5 - 8.0% total return in 1998.
In the second quarter, bond returns were supported by a decline in interest
rates which particularly bolstered the return on longer maturing securities.
The Core Fixed Income Fund participated in the rally due to our duration being
slightly longer than the Merrill Lynch Index. The yield on the benchmark 30
Year U.S. Treasury security dropped to 5.6% rivaling its all-time low set back
in October 1993. The continued favorable news of low inflation, currently
1.5%, combined with the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will remain
neutral on interest rates, paved the way for these lower yields. Indeed,
inflation rates remain very low, especially for a business cycle which is in
its eighth year of expansion.
While the general bond market was helped by lower interest rates, corporate
bonds had somewhat weaker returns, particularly in the month of June.
Specifically, corporate bond returns were nearly as weak as in October 1997
and January 1998. Lagging performance was primarily attributable to
resurfacing concerns in Asia and the fear of weaker second quarter earnings
reports for U.S. companies. Fortunately, while U.S. earnings growth has been
decelerating for the last three years, growth rates are currently in positive
territory. Corporate earnings have continued to exceed Wall Street consensus
estimates through the early announcements of second quarter results. That
appears to bode well for corporate bond holders in the near term as well as
strengthening the long term case for a meaningful allocation to corporate
bonds in fixed income portfolios. As a result, the Core Fixed Income Fund
remains positioned with a higher concentration of corporate securities.
The Core Fixed Income Fund returned 2.5% for the quarter and 3.8% year-to-date
versus the Merrill Lynch Corporate/Government Bond Index of 2.6% and 4.2%,
respectively. For the last twelve months, the Fund is up 10.5% versus 11.3%
for the Merrill Lynch Corporate/Government Bond Index.

LOOMIS SAYLES CORE GROWTH FUND
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transactions continued at a moderate pace during the second quarter, and were
more characterized by shifts within sectors than any change in sector
emphasis. Most notable in this respect was the taking of a large gain in
BankBoston and the redeployment of the funds in Wells Fargo which is merging
with Norwest. This gave us a more purely domestic exposure with substantial
potential for cost savings and better revenue growth as Norwest's more
aggressive management takes over Wells Fargo. Also worth a comment is the sale
and quick repurchase of Chrysler. The sale was prompted by escalating price
competition in the auto industry which led us to take our profit. Two days
later the Daimler Benz acquisition of Chrysler was announced. Since Chrysler
was selling at a large discount to the acquisition price and we believed the
combination to be a very good one, we repurchased the stock. To date, it has
been a profitable decision.
On balance, we have an environment which appears at least moderately favorable
for corporate earnings. As long as the strong dollar keeps a lid on inflation
and foreigners continue to recycle their dollars into U.S. financial markets,
the bull market seems set to continue. However, the extreme valuations now
prevailing and the dependence on foreign funds flows continue to suggest
caution is in order.
The shortfall versus the S&P 500 is essentially accounted for by one stock -
Analog Devices. This issue declined 37% in May after reporting second quarter
results 12% above the prior year but 10% below consensus expectations. Other
weakness was in the energy sector and some consumer nondurable stocks. Average
capitalization size, while much larger than it historically has been, also
hurt, especially in the late June rally which was almost entirely concentrated
in large growth names. On the plus side a number of issues including Cisco,
Chrysler, American Express, Warner Lambert, and EMC delivered strong
performance in the quarter.
For the six month period ending June 30, 1998, the Core Growth Fund returned
17.1% underperforming the S&P 500 which returned 17.7%. The Fund outperformed
the Lipper Growth Fund Index which returned 15.6% for the same time period.

LOOMIS SAYLES FIXED INCOME FUND
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Loomis Sayles Fixed Income Fund generated a 0.5% return for the second
quarter of 1998 well behind the Lehman Government/Corporate Index return of
2.6% for the period. This quarterly performance is due primarily to the Fund's
exposures to lower quality bonds and emerging market debt. Canadian Provincial
and Government debt posted modest gains, but still underperformed on a
relative basis as the US dollar continued to appreciate over the quarter. The
Fund maintained enough structural and issue diversity to maintain market-like
performance over the entire six month period.
Over the trailing twelve months the portfolio has returned 11.0% versus 11.3%
for the benchmark. This return is slightly better than the 10.5% average for
the Lipper BBB Rated Corporate Debt Funds for the period. Longer term returns
remain attractive on a relative basis.
The domestic economy continues to exhibit resilience during the second quarter
although there were signs that the deepening economic crisis in Asia was
beginning to have its effects felt in the U.S. The GM strike combined with
negative Asian effects seem to indicate the economy may be slowing. This fact,
pared with a continued strong dollar and low energy prices, continued to
contain domestic inflation. This environment set the stage for a robust rally
in U.S. Treasuries as yields fell out of their 5.80-6.00% trading range and
ended the quarter 5.63%. Long Treasuries were among the best performers while
lower credit quality bonds underperformed as the economy slowed and their
prices failed to keep pace with the Treasury rally. Most notably emerging
markets declined further as banking concerns throughout the region cast doubts
on a quick recovery for these markets. We continue to see long-term value in
these sectors.
Overall, however, the markets currently appear favorable for investors due to
low inflation, liquidity and peace. These attributes would need to be upset
for broad, deteriorating market conditions to develop.
The Fund's exposure to select high yield issues in emerging market countries,
representing approximately 12% of the Fund, has been volatile, performing well
in the first quarter but lagging more recently as political, economic and
social turmoil continued for the region. Domestic corporate issues, including
the high yield segment, trailed during the quality-driven Treasury rally which
marked the May-June period. The Fund's long Treasury positions performed well
in this environment partially offsetting the negative effects of the emerging
market positions. We have recently increased our exposure to the energy sector
to approximately 5.2%. We believe this sector has become vastly undervalued
due to temporary excess supply problems caused by weak demand from Asia and
the lingering effects of El Nino.
In summary, we believe that the Fixed Income Fund remains well positioned for
the current environment. The Fund maintains a very attractive yield advantage,
adequate call protection and upgrade potential. We are maintaining exposures
to domestic high yield and select emerging markets as we believe both segments
offer value at this junction. The Fund is diversified across 178 issues and
various bond market segments including the investment grade and non-investment
grade debt through foreign and domestic issuers. We remain confident of the
total return potential embedded in the portfolio.

Fund.

LOOMIS SAYLES HIGH YIELD FIXED INCOME FUND
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The High Yield Fixed Income Fund returned -5.2% for the quarter ending June
30, 1998. This return was measurably behind the 1.7% return of the Merrill
Lynch High Yield Master Index. Exposure to Latin America and the Pacific Rim
curtailed performance over the past three months as the capital flight from
Asia unwound leveraged positions causing spreads to widen and creating
liquidity problems in the region. Domestically high yield issues faired
better, but record new deal issuance and the "flight to quality" led lower
quality issues to underperform Treasuries and higher quality corporate bonds.
Convertible bonds were mixed in the second quarter, with technology and
international issues generally weaker as global equity markets gave back some
of their earlier gains.
The domestic economy continued to demonstrate its resilient ability to expand,
although weak demand from Asia is finally taking a visible toll on
manufacturing and profit margins. This kept the Fed on the sidelines during
the quarter despite labor markets and strong domestic consumption. Higher
quality corporate issues outperformed high yield issues as investor sentiment
became increasingly more cautious towards the high yield market amid further
deterioration in the Asian economic crisis and a record amount of new issuance
through the first six months of 1998. Asian and Latin American spreads
widened over the last three months as countries such as Japan, Korea and
Thailand have yet to establish a credible plan to reform their troubled
banking systems. Domestically, consumer cyclicals continued to benefit from
strong demand, productivity gains, and the historically high level of consumer
confidence. Defaults edged up slightly over the first half of the year,
however rates still remain quite low by historical standards. The 30 year
Treasury yield fell from 5.93% to 5.62% over the past three months
As of June 30, 1998, the High Yield Fixed Income Fund was well diversified
across 113 issues. The Fund currently has an average bond price of $68.56
which reflects the embedded potential for capital appreciation as well as a
significant call protection. Despite the recent setback in Asia we remain
committed to our exposure to emerging market Yankee bonds because of their
attractive current yields relative to domestic issues and the potential
compounded cash flows they will generate as long as their credit profile
stabilizes.
We continue to favor the Cable/Media and Telecommunications sectors based upon
the positive synergies we feel will be created for consumers by consolidating
wireless, local & long distance, cable and internet services. We have
increased our exposure to the energy sector. We believe this sector has become
vastly undervalued due to the temporary excess supply problems in the industry
caused by weak demand from Asia and the lingering effects of El Nino.
In summary, we believe that the High Yield Fixed Income Fund remains well
positioned for the current investment environment. The Fund maintains an
adequate amount of diversification and call protection to help insulate the
portfolio from interest rate fluctuations and reinvestment risk. We like the
overall structure of the portfolio and its potential for superior long-term
investment returns, consequently we intend to ride out the current market
volatility adding only to select bonds on an opportunistic basis.
Daniel J. Fuss is the portfolio manager for the Loomis Sayles High Yield Fixed
Income Fund.

regulations, performance information is provided for the period beginning
on March 7, 1997 ("Registration"). For the convenience of our long-term
shareholders, performance information is also provided for the period

LOOMIS SAYLES INTERMEDIATE DURATION FIXED INCOME FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Loomis Sayles Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund returned 1.3% for
the second quarter. Relative to the benchmark Lehman Brothers Government/
Corporate Intermediate Bond Index, the Fund underperformed by 57 basis points.
This can be attributed in part to our modest exposure to the Pacific Rim
region as well as our underweighting in longer Treasuries relative to the
benchmark. Investment grade securities received a boost from renewed economic
and political turmoil in Asia and Russia which led investors to abandon high
risk bonds for the relative safety of higher quality dollar denominated
issues. Among investment grade issues, Home Construction, Realty, and Consumer
related issues turned in positive returns over the quarter as they continued
to benefit from the current historically low interest rate environment, strong
domestic consumption, and mild inflation.
The domestic economy continued to demonstrate its resilient ability to expand,
although weak demand from Asia is finally taking a visible toll on
manufacturing and profit margins. This kept the Fed on the sidelines during
the quarter despite tight labor markers and strong domestic consumption.
Higher quality corporate issues outperformed high yield issues as investor
sentiment became increasingly more cautious towards the high yield market amid
further deterioration in the Asian economic crisis and a record amount of new
issuance through the first six months of 1998. Asian and Latin American
spreads widened over the last three months as countries such as Japan, Korea,
and Thailand have yet to establish a credible plan to reform their troubled
banking systems. Domestically, consumer cyclicals continued to benefit from
strong demand, productivity gains, and the historically high level of consumer
confidence. Treasuries, however, were the clear winners benefiting from
increased demand particularly on the longer end of the yield curve. The 30
year Treasury yield fell from 5.93% to 5.62% over the past three months.
In the short time since its inception, the Intermediate Duration Fixed Income
Fund has established a flexible balance of foreign and domestic bonds with
approximately 17% of the portfolio in bonds of foreign issuers, all of which
is U.S. dollar denominated to protect against currency risk. The duration of
the portfolio is longer than that of the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate
Intermediate Bond Index to capture the higher yield offered by the corporate
curve for extending maturity and to enhance capital appreciation should yield
spreads narrow.
Over the quarter we maintained a higher quality credit profile (A3) as the
situation in Asia unfolded. In addition to our significant asset backed
exposure (5.4% of the Fund), we currently have 7.3% of the portfolio in
shorter Treasuries to capitalize on the flattened yield curve. We have
increased our exposure to the energy sector which now represents nearly 13% of
the portfolio. We believe this sector has become vastly undervalued due to the
temporary excess supply problems in the industry caused by weak demand from
Asia and the lingering effects of El Nino.
Looking forward, we are comfortable with the overall structure of the
portfolio and will continue to search for higher quality call protected bonds
offering above average yields. The Fund offers issue diversification and
adequate balance along the yield curve. We attempt to minimize credit risk and
maximize total return, through bottom-up fundamental research and superior
"bond picking".

LOOMIS SAYLES INVESTMENT GRADE FIXED INCOME FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund returned 1.0% for the
second quarter. Relative to the benchmark Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate
Bond Index, the Fund underperformed by l63 basis points. This can be
attributed in part to our modest exposure to the Pacific Rim region as well as
our underweighting in longer Treasuries relative to the benchmark. Investment
grade securities received a boost from renewed economic and political turmoil
in Asia and Russia which led investors to abandon high risk bonds for the
relative safety of higher quality dollar denominated issues. Among investment
grade issues Home Construction, Realty, and Consumer related issues turned in
positive returns over the quarter as they continued to benefit from the
current historically low interest rate environment, strong domestic
consumption, and mild inflation. Canadian Provincial and Government debt
posted modest gains but still underperformed on a relative basis as the US
dollar continued to appreciate over the quarter.
The domestic economy continued to demonstrate its resilient ability to expand,
although weak demand from Asia is finally taking a visible toll on
manufacturing and profit margins. This kept the Fed on the sidelines during
the quarter despite tight labor markets and strong domestic consumption.
Higher quality corporate issues outperformed high yield issues as investor
sentiment became increasingly more cautious towards the high yield market amid
further deterioration in the Asian economic crisis and a record amount of new
issuance through the first six months of 1998. Asian and Latin American
spreads widened over the last three months as countries such as Japan, Korea,
and Thailand have yet to establish a credible plan to reform their troubled
banking systems. Domestically, consumer cyclicals continued to benefit from
strong demand, productivity gains, and the historically high level of consumer
confidence. Treasuries, however, were the clear winners benefiting from
increased demand particularly on the longer end of the yield curve. The 30
year Treasury yield fell from 5.93% to 5.62% over the past three months.
As of the end of quarter, the Fund was well diversified across 139 issues. The
Fund maintains a flexible balance of foreign and domestic bonds with
approximately 40% of the Fund in bonds of foreign issuers, including 18.5% in
Canadian dollar denominated bonds. We continue to favor the Cable/Media and
Telecommunications sectors based upon the positive synergies we feel will be
created for consumers by consolidating wireless, local & long distance, cable,
and internet services. We have increased our exposure to the energy sector. We
believe this sector has become vastly undervalued due to the temporary excess
supply problems in the industry caused by weak demand from Asia and the
lingering effects of El Nino.
Looking forward, we are comfortable with the overall structure of the
portfolio and will continue to search for higher quality call protected bonds
offering above average yields. Despite the recent setback in Asia, we believe
that select emerging market bonds have been unjustly oversold given their
credit profiles and significant yield advantages over domestic bonds and will
continue to add positions on an opportunistic basis.

LOOMIS SAYLES INVESTMENT TRUST
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
June 30, 1998
1. Loomis Sayles Investment Trust (the "Trust") consists of seven no-load
mutual funds (the "Funds").
The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts on December 23, 1993. The Trust is a diversified,
open-end management investment company registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act"), and the interests in which were registered for offer and sale,
effective March 7, 1997, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"). The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and
fractional shares of beneficial interest in multiple series.
Each Fund is separately managed and has its own investment objective and
policies. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. ("Loomis Sayles") is the investment
adviser of each fund.
The Trust consists of the following Funds:
Loomis Sayles California Tax-Free Income Fund
Loomis Sayles Core Fixed Income Fund
Loomis Sayles Core Growth Fund
Loomis Sayles Fixed Income Fund
Loomis Sayles High Yield Fixed Income Fund
Loomis Sayles Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Fund
Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the Loomis Sayles Investment Trust Funds:
A. SECURITY VALUATION -- Long-term debt securities for which quotations are
readily available are valued by a pricing service, as approved by the Board of
Trustees, which generally uses the most recent bid prices in the principal
market in which such securities are normally traded. Municipal debt securities
are valued by a pricing service, as approved by the Board of Trustees, which
generally uses a computerized matrix system or dealer supplied quotations that
consider market transactions for comparable securities. Equity securities for
which quotations are readily available are valued at their last sale price on
the exchange where primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the
day, at the closing bid price. Short-term securities with a remaining maturity
of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
value. Other securities for which quotations are not readily available
(including restricted securities, if any) are valued primarily using dealer
supplied quotations or at their fair values as determined in good faith under
the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
B. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- The Funds may engage in repurchase agreement
transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Funds take
possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the
seller to repurchase, and the Funds to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon
price and time. This arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not
subject to market fluctuations during the Funds' holding period. The Funds,
through their custodian, receive delivery of the underlying securities
collateralizing repurchase agreements. It is the Funds' policy that the market
value of the collateral be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price. These
securities are marked-to-market daily. Loomis Sayles is responsible for
determining that the value of the collateral is at all times at least equal to
102% of the repurchase price. In connection with transactions in repurchase
agreements, if the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or
if the seller enters into insolvency proceedings, realization of the collateral
by the Funds may be delayed or limited.
C. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION AND FOREIGN INVESTMENTS -- The books and records
of each of the Funds (including those Funds that invest in foreign securities)
are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of securities, currencies and other
assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars is
translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the
end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities are translated
at contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of the trade.
Income and expenses are translated at prevailing exchange rates on the
respective dates of such transactions.
The results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on
investments are not isolated from fluctuations arising from changes in market
prices of securities held. All such fluctuations are included with net realized
and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale of short-term
securities and holdings of foreign currencies, foreign currency gains and
losses between trade dates and settlement dates on investment securities
transactions, sales and maturities of forward foreign currency exchange
contracts, and the difference between the amounts of daily interest accruals
on the books of the Funds and the amounts actually received resulting from
changes in exchange rates on the payable date.
Certain funds use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions
in foreign-denominated securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of
the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the
contracts' terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency is determined using
contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of each trade. The
cost of the foreign currency exchange contracts is included in the cost basis of
the associated investment.
Each Fund (except the California Tax-Free Income Fund) may purchase securities
of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign
governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated
with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These
risks include revaluation of currencies and the risk of appropriation. Moreover,
the markets for securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments may
be less liquid, and the prices of such securities may be more volatile than
those securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.
D. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS -- Each Fund that may invest in
foreign securities may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to
protect securities against changes in future foreign exchange rates. A forward
foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or
sell currency at a set price on a future date.
The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency
exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily using the forward rate
and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on foreign currency transactions in the Funds' Statements of
Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or loss is recognized when the contract is
closed 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 and recorded as realized gain
(loss) on foreign currency transactions in the Funds' Statements of Operations.
Risks may arise upon entering into forward foreign currency exchange contracts
from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their
contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency
relative to the U.S. dollar. At June 30, 1998, there were no open forward
foreign currency exchange contracts.
E. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES -- Security
transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the buy or sell is
executed). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the
accretion of discount. Discounts on zero coupon bonds, original issues, step
bonds and payment in kind bonds are accreted according to the effective interest
method. Interest income on the California Tax-Free Income Fund is decreased by
the amortization of premium. Premiums are amortized using the yield to maturity
method. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of
securities are determined on the identified cost basis.
Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a particular fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the Funds
based upon relative net assets.
F. WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES -- Each Fund may purchase securities on a when- issued
basis. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are purchased for delivery
beyond the normal settlement period at a stated price and yield, and no income
accrues to the Fund on such securities prior to delivery. Each Fund instructs
the custodian to establish a segregated account in which it maintains liquid
assets at least equal to the amount of its when-issued purchase commitments.
Purchasing securities on a when-issued basis may involve a risk that the market
price at the time of delivery may be lower than the agreed-upon purchase price,
in which case there could be an unrealized loss at the time of delivery. At June
30, 1998, the Funds had no such commitments.
G. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- Each Fund is a separate entity for federal income tax
purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its
shareholders all of its net investment income and any net realized capital
gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been
made.
H. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- The California Tax-Free
Income, the Intermediate Duration Fixed Income and the Investment Grade Fixed
Income Funds pay their net investment income monthly. The Core Fixed Income,
Core Growth, Fixed Income and High Yield Fixed Income Funds pay their net
investment income to shareholders annually. Distributions from net realized
capital gains, if any, are declared and paid on an annual basis by all of the
Funds. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
Federal income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in reclassifications
to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for
distribution, are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for foreign
currency transactions, deferred losses due to wash sales and excise tax
regulations. Some of these classifications may include temporary book and tax
basis differences that will reverse in subsequent periods.
I. ORGANIZATION EXPENSE -- In 1996, costs approximating $11,970 were incurred in
connection with the initial registration and organization of the Core Fixed
Income Fund. These costs were paid by the Fund and are being amortized over 60
months.
2. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES -- (excluding short-term investments) for
each Fund for the period ended June 30, 1998 were as follows:

4. CREDIT RISK -- The High Yield Fixed Income Fund will invest at least 65%, the
Fixed Income may invest up to 35%, and the Investment Grade Fixed Income may
invest up to 10% of its total net assets in securities offering high current
income, which generally will be in the lower rating categories of recognized
rating agencies. These securities are regarded as predominantly speculative with
respect to the capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with
the terms of the obligations and will generally involve more credit risk than
securities in the higher-rated categories. In addition, the trading market for
high yield securities may be relatively less liquid than the market for
higher-rated securities.
5. CONCENTRATION -- The California Tax-Free Income Fund primarily invests in
debt obligations issued by the State of California, its political subdivisions,
agencies and public authorities to obtain funds for various public purposes. The
Fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of California
municipal securities than is a municipal bond fund that does not concentrate its
investments in the securities of issuers of a single state.
