Prairie Institutional Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1 - General

     Prairie Institutional Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as an open-end
management investment company.  At June  30, 1996, the Trust  was comprised of
four separate investment portfolios as follows: Cash Management Fund, Municipal
Cash Management Fund, Treasury Prime Cash Management Fund and U.S. Government
Securities Cash Management Fund.  The accompanying financial statements relate
only to the U.S. Government Securities Cash Management Fund, Treasury Prime Cash
Management Fund and Cash Management Fund (collectively, the "Funds").  As of
June 30, 1996, the Municipal Cash Management Fund had not yet commenced
operations.
 
     The investment objective of the U.S. Government Securities Cash Management
Fund, Treasury Prime Cash Management Fund and the Cash Management Fund is to
provide investors with as high a level of current income as is consistent with
the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity.  The U.S.
Government Securities Cash Management Fund invests in short-term securities
issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities and may enter into repurchase agreements.   The
Treasury Prime Cash Management Fund invests in securities issued and guaranteed
as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government. The Cash Management Fund
invests in short-term money market obligations with at least 25% of the Fund's
total assets invested in bank obligations.

     The Funds each offer two classes of shares, Institutional Shares and
Service Shares.  Institutional Shares and Service Shares are substantially the
same except that Service Shares bear the fees payable under a Service Plan
adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act (the "Service Plan") at an annual
rate of 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of the outstanding Service
Shares.
 
     First Chicago Investment Management Company ("FCIMCO"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The First National Bank of Chicago ("FNBC"), serves as each Fund's
investment advisor and administrator.  FCIMCO has engaged Concord Holding
Corporation ("Concord"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc.
("BISYS"), to serve as the Funds' sub-administrator.  Concord Financial Group,
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of BISYS, serves as the principal underwriter
and distributor of each Fund's shares.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.  The policies are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These principles
require 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.
 
     (a) Portfolio Valuation: Investments of the Funds are valued at amortized
cost, which approximates market value.  Under the amortized cost method,
discount or premium is amortized on a constant basis to the maturity of the
security.  In addition, the Funds may not (a) purchase any instrument with a
remaining maturity greater than thirteen months unless such instrument is
subject to a demand feature, or (b) maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity
which exceeds 90 days.
<PAGE>
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

     (b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions
are recorded on a trade date basis.  Realized gain and loss from securities
transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.  Interest income,
adjusted for amortization of premiums and when appropriate, discounts on
investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis.

     The U.S. Government Securities Cash Management Fund and Cash Management
Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions deemed to
be creditworthy by FCIMCO, subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase and
the Fund's agreement to resell such securities at a mutually agreed upon price.
Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with the
Fund's custodian and, pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must
have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the repurchase price
plus accrued interest at all times.  If the value of the underlying securities
falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the Fund
will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business
day.  If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller
defaults on its repurchase obligation, the Fund maintains the right to sell the
underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against
the seller.

     (c) Dividends to shareholders: Each Fund's dividends from net investment
income are declared daily and paid monthly.  Distributions from net realized
capital gains, if any, are normally declared daily and paid annually, but each
Fund  may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the
distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").  To the
extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers,
it is the policy of each Fund not to distribute such gains.

     (d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of each Fund 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 Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it
from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.  At December 31, 1995, the
U.S. Government Securities Cash Management Fund had unused capital loss
carryovers of approximately $525,000, which were available for federal income
tax purposes to be applied against future net capital gains, if any, realized
subsequent to December 31, 1995.  If not applied, $7,000 of the carryover
expires in  2001, $460,000 expires in 2002 and $58,000 expires in 2003.  At
December 31, 1995, the Treasury Prime Cash Management Fund had unused capital
loss carryovers of approximately $2,000 which are available for federal income
tax purposes to be applied against future net capital gains, if any, realized
subsequent to December 31, 1995.  If not applied, $2,000 of the carryover
expires in 2003.  At December 31, 1995, the Cash Management Fund had unused
capital loss carryovers of approximately $201,000 available for federal income
tax purposes to be applied against future net capital gains, if any, realized
subsequent to December 31, 1995.  The carryover does not include net realized
securities losses from November 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995 which are
treated, for federal income tax purposes, as arising in fiscal 1996.  If not
applied, $19,000 of the carryover expires in 2001, $151,000 expires in 2002 and
$31,000 expires in 2003.

     (e) Expenses: Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that
Fund's operations; expenses which are applicable to all Funds are allocated
among them on the basis of relative net assets.  Fund expenses directly
attributable to a class of shares are charged to that class; expenses which are
applicable to all classes are allocated among them.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

     (f) Other: Each Fund maintains a cash balance with its custodian and
receives a reduction of its custody fees and expenses for the amount of interest
earned on such uninvested cash balances.  For financial reporting purposes for
the six months ended June 30, 1996, custodian fees and expenses and expenses
paid by third parties were increased by the following amounts:

U.S. Government Securities Cash Management Fund................  $ 1,528
Treasury Prime Cash Management Fund............................    1,849
Cash Management Fund...........................................   22,164
</TABLE>

There was no effect on net investment income.  The Funds could have invested
such cash amounts in an income-producing asset if they had not agreed to a
reduction of fees or expenses under the expense offset agreements with their
custodian.

Note 4 - Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates

     (a) The Trust has an Investment Advisory Agreement with FCIMCO pursuant to
which FCIMCO has agreed to provide the day-to-day management of each of the
Fund's investments for an advisory fee at an annual rate of 0.20% of each Fund's
average daily net assets.

     The Trust has an Administration Agreement with FCIMCO pursuant to which
FCIMCO has agreed to assist in all aspects of each Fund's operations for an
administration fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of each Fund's average daily net
assets.  In addition, FCIMCO has engaged Concord to assist in providing certain
administrative services to each Fund pursuant to a Master Sub-Administration
Agreement between FCIMCO and Concord. FCIMCO has agreed to pay Concord a fee
from its own administration fee on a monthly basis.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1996, FCIMCO agreed to limit each Fund's
expenses to an annual amount not to exceed 0.35% of average daily net assets for
Institutional Shares and  0.60% of average daily net assets for Service Shares.
As a result,  The U.S. Government Securities Cash Management Fund, Treasury
Prime Cash Management Fund and Cash Management Fund were reimbursed expenses of
$228,250, $100,768 and $200,876, respectively.

     (b) The Trust has adopted a Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
Act.  Under the terms of the Service Plan, each Fund pays the Distributor an
annual fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the outstanding Service

     (c) The Funds pay each Trustee a pro-rata share of the aggregate fixed
annual fee of $25,000 and an attendance fee of $1,000 per meeting for all of the
Funds in the Prairie Family of Funds.

     (d) During the year ended June 30, 1995, an affiliate of FCIMCO purchased
securities from the Cash Management Fund at an amount in excess of the
securities' fair market value.  The Cash Management Fund recorded a realized
loss on these sales in the amount of $1,668,500 and the Cash Management Fund
recorded an offsetting capital contribution from the affiliate.  As a result of
varying treatment for book and tax purposes, the capital contribution was
reclassified from additional paid-in-capital to accumulated net realized losses
in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Fund, Prairie Treasury Prime Cash Management Fund and Prairie Cash Management
Fund merged into The Woodward U.S. Government Securities Cash Management Fund,
