DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDER:

We are pleased to present to you the Bishop Street Funds'  Semi-Annual Report to
Shareholders.

Good news! We've converted Bishop Street Funds to a no-load structure. What this
means  to you is no  upfront  or  redemption  sales  charge  which  lowers  your
investment costs and increases your net return.

During  the past six  months,  the Bishop  Street  Funds  experienced  continued
deliberate and steady growth,  expanding our fund family to meet your investment
needs.  In January,  we added two new funds to the Bishop  Street  line-up:  the
Equity  Fund and the High  Grade  Income  Fund to  provide  you with  additional
investment options for growth opportunities and maximum income.

The stock market continues to set records,  as the economy's growth rate remains
moderate,  corporate profits continue to advance,  inflation is nil and interest
rates remain low.  Meanwhile,  Congress and the President signed an agreement to
balance the federal  budget and cut capital  gains  taxes.  A shrinking  federal
budget  deficit  reduces the demand for  borrowing  and lowers  interest  rates.
Cutting the capital gains rate  enhances the potential  rate of return on stocks
and bonds.

Although there are no dark clouds on the horizon, the stock market's lofty level
does not allow much room for  disappointment  on the key variables of inflation,
interest  rates or  profits.  As a result,  we  continue  to be alert to adverse
changes in the environment.

                                             SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT -- JUNE 30, 1997

The taxable and municipal  bond markets  produced  moderate  returns  during the
first half of 1997, as interest rate volatility cut into total returns. However,
bonds continue to offer attractive income in relation to inflation.

You can be  assured  that the  Bishop  Street  Funds will  remain  dedicated  to
providing you with high quality service and prudent investment management.

This report  contains  important  information for the six months ending June 30,
1997 including the Investment Adviser's Report, Management Discussion & Analysis
of Fund Performance, the Statement of Net Assets and other financial information
for each Fund. If you have any questions  about this report or the Bishop Street
Funds, we invite you to call Bishop Street Investor Services at

Investment Adviser's Report:

Early  this year,  the stock  market  appeared  to be in for a rough  ride.  The
economy was growing at a rapid rate,  rekindling  fears of inflation.  Corporate
earnings  appeared  soft,  particularly  in the technology  sector.  The Federal
Reserve Board hiked short-term interest rates from 5.25% to 5.50%, and investors
feared further Fed action later in the year. As a result, the S&P 500 Index fell
7.5% between  March 11th and April 2nd.  Other market  segments,  notably  small
capitalization stocks, fell much further. Bond markets were similarly jittery as
the yield on the 30-year U.S.  Treasury  bond  reached 7%. As the first  quarter
ended, investor sentiment was clearly pessimistic.

A DRAMATIC SHIFT: However, within weeks, investor sentiment shifted dramatically
- -- and this  relentless  bull market  resumed.  As it became  apparent  that the
economy in the second  quarter  would  grow more  slowly,  the Fed did not raise
interest  rates at its May meeting.  Long-term  interest rates began to fall, as
inflation  data remained  benign.  Meanwhile,  first quarter  corporate  profits
surprised investors on the upside.

After a nearly 10% decline this spring,  the stock market used the lows of April
as a  launching  pad for new  highs in June.  By June  30th,  the S&P 500  Index
recorded a first-half gain of 144.4 points, or 19.49%, to close at 885.14. Small
capitalization  stocks  also made a  comeback,  and the  NASDAQ  index,  heavily
dominated by the technology sector, rocketed to new highs.

A  continuation  of strong  corporate  profits  will be necessary to sustain the
upward  trend  in the  stock  market.  That  may  be  difficult  in the  current
environment,  in which economic growth is slowing. However, since interest rates
remain  low,  corporate  productivity  is  impressive  and there are no signs of
inflation,  we remain  optimistic  but  cautious  about the  market's  near-term
future.

                                             SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT -- JUNE 30, 1997

Management Discussion & Analysis of Fund Performance:

The investment  objective of the new Equity Fund,  launched January 31, 1997, is
to produce long-term growth of capital, with a secondary goal of current income.
We seek to do this by focusing on the large  capitalization  growth companies of
the S&P 500  Index,  many of which are  leaders  in their  markets  and  operate
globally.  The  companies  also tend to have earnings  momentum--that  is, their
earnings are growing at an increasing rate.

As a way to reduce risk, the Fund holds a broadly diversified portfolio of 70 to
100 stocks,  representing  virtually every industry sector of the S&P 500. Since
we take a long-term view of investing,  we tend to have  relatively low turnover
in the portfolio.

During the five months ended June 30, 1997,  the Fund produced a total return of
12.2%.  In comparison,  the average  domestic  growth fund as measured by Lipper
Analytical  Services,  Inc. was up 8.6% and the  unmanaged  S&P 500 Index was up
13.5%.

The  pharmaceutical  industry was one of several that contributed  positively to
the Fund's strong  performance  during the period. Our largest positions in this
industry have  extensive  product lines and better than  expected  earnings.  We
intend to maintain our strong  weighting in this  industry,  due to its expected
earnings  growth of  15%-20%  per year over the next five  years and  reasonable
stock price valuations today.

Another  industry that  performed  well for us was the oil sector.  Although the
price of oil has been  volatile,  the major  companies  have made  technological
advances in  exploration--as  well as reductions in  overhead--which  reduce the
price of oiL at which  they  can be  profitable.  The  major  international  oil
companies  that we own have  strong  free cash flows,  good  balance  sheets and
excellent  management.  We also like the oil  service  companies  which help the
major oil companies in their exploration efforts.

In technology, the big capitalization leaders continued to perform strongly. The
companies we tend to select are leaders in their fields,  with strong management
and dynamic  earnings  potential.  The U.S. is increasingly  viewed as the world
leader in technology, and the stocks reflect that assessment.

In recent  months,  we have begun to  overweight  financial  services  companies
relative to the S&P 500 Index.  The  financial  services  industry  continues to
consolidate.  In addition,  the banks that we own in the  portfolio  continue to
move toward fee income by focusing on businesses  such as asset  management  and
away from traditional net interest margin  businesses such as corporate  lending
that are so sensitive to changes in interest rates.

                                      FUNDS

HIGH GRADE INCOME FUND

Investment Adviser's Report:

The bond market  turned in mixed  results in the first half of 1997.  During the
first quarter,  bonds were weak as investors  anticipated  action by the Federal
Reserve Board to raise interest rates in response to a fast-growing economy.

Although the Fed boosted  short-term rates from 5.25% to 5.50% on March 25th, no
further  action took place during the first half of the year.  The reasons:  the
economy  showed signs of slowing and inflation did not reappear as feared.  As a
result, bonds rebounded strongly in the second quarter.

A good way to assess the bond  market at a given point in time is to look at the
U.S.  Treasury bond yield.  On January 31st,  the ten year security was yielding
6.49%. On June 30th, the yield was 6.50%.  From point to point, the market would
appear  quiet,  since bond prices move  inversely  to interest  rates.  However,
during  the five  months  between  the  points,  yields  were very  volatile  as
investors struggled to interpret conflicting economic data.

SECOND FED ACTION EXPECTED:  Historically,  strong economic growth, as exhibited
in the first quarter of 1997, has been followed by higher inflation. That is not
happening  now,  even though the economy is in the seventh year of an expansion.
Another pattern is that the Fed typically  raises interest rates more than once.
Many investors expected another Fed action in May, but it did not happen.

The second quarter was also a time of good news on the federal  budget  deficit,
which could be as low as $37 billion in fiscal 1997, or just half of one percent
of Gross Domestic Product.  That is a remarkable  improvement  compared to a few
years ago, when the budget deficit was $300 billion.  A shrinking budget deficit
means that the U.S.  government has lower financing needs,  which in turn exerts
downward pressure on interest rates.

The bond market's  performance in the second half of the year got off to a great
start in July,  as the yield on the ten year Treasury bond fell sharply to 6.01%
as of July 31st.  However,  we believe that inflation  pressure will  ultimately
cause the Federal Reserve Board to raise  short-term rates one more time late in
the year. As a result, our fixed income strategy is one of caution over the next
several months.

Management Discussion & Analysis of Fund Performance:

The investment objective of the new High Grade Income Fund, launched January 31,
1997, is to provide high total return  consistent with prudent  investment risk.
We seek to do this by investing  primarily in U.S.  government  bonds as well as
high quality  corporate  securities.  As of June 30,  1997,  the  portfolio  was
comprised of 30% in U.S.  Treasuries,  30% in U.S. government  agencies,  26% in
corporates and the balance in cash equivalents.

Of course,  U.S. government bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the
U.S.  government and are rated AAA. The average  corporate bond in the portfolio
carries an A rating by Standard & Poor's Corporation.

For the five months ended June 30, 1997,  the Fund's total return was 2.17%.  In
comparison,  the  average  domestic  fixed  income  fund as  measured  by Lipper
Analytical  Services  Inc.  produced a total  return of 2.76% and the  unmanaged
Lehman  Brothers  Government/Corporate  Bond Index was up 2.61%.  As of June 30,
1997, the Fund's 30-day SEC yield -- an approximation of income -- was 5.60%.

The  Fund  slightly  underperformed  its  benchmarks  because  we kept  duration
(sensitivity to interest rates) slightly  shorter than neutral.  That means that
the bond  prices in the  portfolio  were  slightly  less  sensitive  to  falling
interest  rates.  Since bond prices move inversely to interest  rates, a shorter
than average duration will underperform in a falling interest rate environment.

On the other hand,  our  strategy  should have  outperformed  the  averages  had
interest rates risen.  With the economy  growing above average trend rates,  and
with low unemployment, we anticipated that the Federal Reserve Board would raise
interest rates again in the second quarter.

As we look  ahead to year end,  we expect  the  economy  to pick up steam.  With
consumer  confidence  at record  highs,  unemployment  at 25-year  lows and real
disposable  income  growth at about 4%,  consumers  are in a strong  position to
drive  above-trend  spending.  As a result,  we think  inflation will accelerate
slightly, triggering Fed action in the fourth quarter. Our strategy is to remain
duration-neutral until then, and then we may extend duration if the Fed acts.

When you compare the income  currently  offered by the Fund to the current level
of inflation, the difference is about 4%, a relatively high figure by historical
standards.  The  High  Grade  Income  Fund  will  continue  to  strive  to offer
conservative  management,  preservation of capital, and income consistent with a
high quality portfolio.

HAWAII MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

Investment Adviser's Report:

The municipal bond market tracked the fixed income markets as a whole during the
first half of 1997, producing total returns on a par with historical norms.

In the first  quarter,  the U.S.  economy was growing  rapidly,  and the Federal
Reserve Board raised short-term  interest rates by a quarter percentage point in
an  attempt  to slow the  economy  down and ward off  inflation.  As the  second
quarter began,  many municipal as well as taxable fixed income  investors feared
that this move would be followed by a series of additional actions.

However, by late April, the economy was slowing and inflation was in check. With
the expectation that the Fed probably  wouldn't have to tighten the money supply
further,  the taxable and tax-exempt bond markets rallied,  and yields ended the
first half of 1997 at about their same levels on January 1st.

The  municipal  bond  market  faced a shortage of supply  during the period,  as
approximately  $40 billion of  municipal  bonds,  or more than 20% of the entire
1997 new issue volume, were called and retired from the market.

HAWAII  BONDS  TRADE  ACTIVELY:  Despite the March  downgrading  of the State of
Hawaii by Standard & Poor's Corporation from AA to A+, Hawaii issues have traded
extremely well in the market,  and have been in chronic short supply.  The State
has taken some measures to improve its fiscal position, but will have to do more
to have a significant  impact in correcting the budgetary  imbalances.  Tourism,
which is dependent upon healthy economies on the U.S. mainland and in Japan, has
recovered only slightly. While a $1 billion capital improvement program recently
authorized  by the state  legislature  should  improve tax revenue flow, we hope
that  longer-term  solutions will be forthcoming,  such as an improvement in the
state's tax environment.

                                             SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT -- JUNE 30, 1997

Management Discussion & Analysis of Fund Performance:

The primary goal of the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund is to deliver a high level of
current  income that is exempt  from both state and federal  income tax. At June
30, 1997, the Fund was yielding 5.01%. For an individual in the highest combined
federal and state income tax bracket,  this translates into a taxable equivalent
yield  of  9.13%.*  Few  taxable  fixed  income  investments  with  the  quality
comparable to a municipal bond portfolio generate such a high return today.

In  generating  this  high  yield,  we seek to  invest  in the  highest  quality
securities.  Indeed,  86% of the portfolio is rated AAA or AA. In addition,  our
strategy is to remain  broadly  diversified  in such sectors as  transportation,
education,  health care and utilities -- as well as general  obligations  of the
state and counties of Hawaii.

During the period,  we added to our position in general  obligation bonds issued
by Maui  County,  which has  demonstrated  conservative  fiscal  management.  As
California's economy continues to strengthen,  Maui's tourism industry stands to
benefit.  We also added to our State of Hawaii general obligation bond position,
when the issue became insured -- and was rated AAA -- in May.

For the six months ending June 30, 1997, the Hawaii Municipal Bond Fund produced
a total return of 2.82%. In comparison,  the Lipper Hawaii  Municipal Debt Funds
Average  was 2.78%.  The Lehman  Brothers  Municipal  Bond Index,  an  unmanaged
measure of municipal bond funds nationally, was up 3.20% for the period.

For the twelve  months  ending June 30,  1997,  the Hawaii  Municipal  Bond Fund
produced a total return of 8.16%.  In  comparison,  the Lipper Hawaii  Municipal
Debt  Funds  Average  produced  a total  return of 7.73%.  The  Lehman  Brothers
Municipal Bond Index, was up 8.25% for the period.

In an attempt to help  minimize  interest  rate risk,  we  continue  to keep the
portfolio's  average  maturity  under 15 years --  shorter  than most  municipal
funds.  At this  time,  we  don't  believe  the  current  market  offers  enough
additional yield on longer maturities to offset the additional volatility.

Our strategy for the  remainder of the year and beyond is to attempt to generate
a high tax-exempt yield by investing in high-quality,  highly-liquid  securities
issued by Hawaii municipalities.

               INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT & MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
                                      FUNDS

MONEY MARKET FUND & TREASURY MONEY MARKET FUND

Investment Adviser's Report:

In a widely predicted move, the Federal Reserve raised the Fed Funds rate at the
end of the first quarter by 25 basis points to 5.50%.  The fixed income  markets
immediately  began to anticipate the possibility of additional  increases in the
months ahead.  However,  the Fed kept the rate unchanged in the second  quarter,
based on a slowing of the economy.  The economic  fundamentals that we have been
focusing upon remain intact:  slower economic growth,  low inflation,  favorable
fiscal policies,  and non-disruptive  monetary policies. The Treasury market has
been further  supported  by shrinking  Government  debt and  increasing  foreign
investment.  The yield on the 90 day U.S. T-Bill, now at 5.17%, is lower than at
the  beginning  of the year,  while other  yields are  approaching  their lowest
levels for the year.

The short  term  markets  got a taste of credit  deterioration  in early 1997 as
Mercury  Finance,  a lender  in the  higher  risk  "sub-prime"  sector,  faced a
liquidity  crisis and was unable to repay $500 million to its  commercial  paper
investors.  Once again, the mutual fund sponsors which distributed exposed funds
digested  the problem  securities  and no  shareholders  lost money.  The Bishop
Street  Money  Market  Funds  had no  exposure  to this  issue and  continue  to
concentrate only on high quality corporate obligations.

Management Discussion & Analysis of Fund Performance:

The Money Market Fund's holdings are concentrated in commercial paper,  floating
rate notes,  and bank notes/CDs.  We increased the portfolios  average  weighted
maturity in May to  approximately  55 days after economic data suggested  stable
monetary  policy.  Going into June, we shortened the portfolio to take advantage
of quarter-end interest rate pressures.

We allowed the Treasury  Money Market Fund's average  weighted  maturity to roll
down as we approached the May Fed meeting.  As the Fed kept rates unchanged,  we
extended the portfolio in early June. As this  portfolio  consists  primarily of
repurchase  agreements,  we were able to take  advantage  of the  corporate  tax
payment date,  June 15th, and quarter end, June 30th, when there was pressure on
the Fed Fund's rate.

With the Federal  Reserve  unlikely to move short term interest  rates soon, the
toughest  issue  facing the fixed  income  market now is  deciding  whether  the
economic cycle has turned or temporarily  slowed  following an extremely  robust
period.  We are inclined to think of the  slowdown as  temporary  given the high
levels of employment and confidence which should translate into renewed consumer
spending.  This makes us  cautious  on the  market  following  the recent  sharp
declines in yields.

BISHOP STREET FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. ORGANIZATION
   The Bishop Street Funds (the  "Trust") are  registered  under the  Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end,  management investment company.
The Bishop Street Funds  consists of a series of five funds (the "Funds")  which
includes the Equity Fund,  High Grade Income Fund,  Hawaii  Municipal Bond Fund,
Money Market Fund and the Treasury  Money Market Fund.  The Bishop  Street Funds
Declaration  of Trust permits the Trust to offer  separate  portfolios of shares
and different classes of each portfolio. The assets of each Fund are segregated,
and a  shareholder's  interest is limited to the Fund in which  shares are held.
The  Funds'  prospectus   provides  a  description  of  each  Fund's  investment
objectives, policies and strategies.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Trust.
SECURITY VALUATION
   Bishop Street Fund  investments  in equity  securities  which are traded on a
national  securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market system)
are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily  available  for such equity
securities  on  each  business  day,  other  equity  securities  traded  in  the
over-the-counter  market  and  listed  equity  securities  for which no sale was
reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price.  Debt obligations
exceeding  sixty days to  maturity  which are  actively  traded are valued by an
independent  pricing  service  at the  most  recently  quoted  bid  price.  Debt
obligations  with sixty days or less  remaining  until maturity may be valued at
their amortized cost. Restricted securities for which quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value using methods  determined in good faith under
general Trustee supervision.
     Investment  securities  held by the Money Market and Treasury  Money Market
Funds are stated at amortized cost, which approximates  market value. Under this
valuation  method,  purchase  discounts  and premiums are accreted and amortized
ratably to maturity and are included in interest income.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
   Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased
or sold (trade date).  Costs used in determining net realized  capital gains and
losses on the sale of  securities  are  those of the  specific  securities  sold
adjusted  for the  accretion  and  amortization  of the purchase  discounts  and
premiums during the respective holding periods.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
DISCOUNTS AND PREMIUMS
   Discounts  and  premiums  are  accreted  or  amortized  over the life of each
security  and are  recorded  as  interest  income for each of the Funds  using a
method which approximates the effective interest method.

                                             SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT -- JUNE 30, 1997
                                                                     (UNAUDITED)

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
     Securities pledged as collateral for Repurchase  Agreements are held by the
custodian bank until the respective agreements mature.  Provisions of repurchase
agreements and procedures adopted by the Adviser ensure that the market value of
the collateral is sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. If the
counterparty  defaults  and  the  value  of the  collateral  declines  or if the
counterparty enters an insolvency  proceeding,  realization of the collateral by
the Fund may be delayed or limited.
CLASSES
     Class specific expenses are borne by that class. Income,  nonclass specific
expenses  and  realized/unrealized   gains  and  losses  are  allocated  to  the
respective classes on the basis of the relative daily net assets.
EXPENSES
     Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged directly
to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to the Funds on
the basis of relative net assets.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
   Distributions  from net  investment  income are declared  daily and paid on a
monthly basis for the High Grade Income Fund,  Hawaii  Municipal  Bond Fund, the
Money Market Fund and the Treasury  Money Market Fund.  The Equity Fund declares
and pays such  dividends on a quarterly  basis.  Any net realized  capital gains
will be distributed at least annually for all Funds. 
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
     It is each Fund's  intention to qualify as a regulated  investment  company
for Federal  income tax purposes and to distribute all of its taxable income and
net  capital  gains.  Accordingly,  no  provision  for Federal  income  taxes is
required.
ORGANIZATION COSTS
   Organization costs have been capitalized by the Funds and are being amortized
over sixty months  commencing with  operations.  In the event any of the initial
shares are  redeemed  by any holder  thereof  during the period that the fund is
amortizing its organization costs, the redemption proceeds payable to the holder
thereof  prior  to the end of the  amortization  period,  the  proceeds  will be
reduced by the unamortized organization costs in the same ratio as the number of
initial shares being redeemed bears to the number of initial shares  outstanding
at the time of the redemption.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
   The  preparation  of  financial  statements,  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles,  requires  management  to make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amount of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

sub-adviser  for the  Money  Market  Fund and the  Treasury  Money  Market  Fund

average daily net assets of the Fund in excess of $500 million.

4. ADMINISTRATIVE, TRANSFER AGENT AND DISTRIBUTION SERVICES
   Pursuant  to  an  administration  agreement  dated  January  27,  1995,  (the
"Agreement")  SEI Fund  Resources  ("SEI"),  a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of SEI
Investments,  acts  as  the  Trust's  Administrator.  Under  the  terms  of  the
Agreement,  SEI is  entitled  to receive  an annual fee of 0.20% of the  average
daily net assets of each Fund. SEI has voluntarily  agreed to waive a portion of
its fee in order to limit operating expenses.
   Pursuant to an agreement  dated January 30, 1995, DST Systems,  Inc.  ("DST")
acts as the Transfer Agent of the Trust. As such, DST provides  transfer agency,
dividend disbursing and shareholder services to the Trust.
   SEI Investments Distribution Co. ("SEI Investments"), wholly owned subsidiary
of SEI  Investments  Company,  acts as the  Trust's  Distributor  pursuant  to a
distribution  agreement dated January 27, 1995. The Retail Class B shares of the
Trust have a Rule 12b-1  Distribution  Plan under which such shares of the Funds
bear distribution  expenses and related service fees at the annual rate of 0.10%
and 0.25% of their average daily net assets for the Money Market Fund and Hawaii
Municipal Bond Fund,  respectively.  SEI Investments  has voluntarily  agreed to
waive the  distribution  charge for the Hawaii  Municipal  Bond Fund in order to
limit operating  expenses for the Retail Class B shares.  Effective May 15, 1997
The Board of Trustees terminated the Distribution Plan for Retail Class B shares
that had previously been approved pursuant to Rule 12b-1.
   Certain  officers of the Trust are also officers of the  Administrator.  Such
officers are paid no fees by the Trust.
