NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TIP FUNDS
March 31, 1997 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION:
TIP FUNDS (the "Trust") a Massachusetts' business trust, is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end management
investment company with five funds: the Turner Small Cap Fund (the "Small Cap
Fund"), the Turner Growth Equity Fund (the "Growth Equity Fund"), the Turner
Midcap Fund (the "Midcap Fund"), the Turner Ultra Large Cap Fund (the "Ultra
Large Cap Fund") and the Turner Fixed Income Fund (the "Fixed Income Fund").
These statements relate only to the Small Cap, Growth Equity, Midcap, and Ultra
Large Cap Funds (the "Funds"). 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.
On April 19, 1996, the shareholders of the Advisors' Inner Circle Turner Small
Cap Fund and the Advisors' Inner Circle Growth Equity Fund (the Advisors' Inner
Circle Trust) and together "the Turner Funds" voted to approve a tax-free
reorganization of the Turner Funds through a transfer of all the assets and
liabilities of the Turner Funds to the Turner Small Cap and Turner Growth Equity
Funds' portfolios. In connection with the reorganization, the Funds have changed
their fiscal year end from October 31, 1996 to September 30, 1996.
On February 21, 1997 the Board of Trustees of Turner Funds voted to change the
name of the Trust to TIP Funds.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds.
SECURITY VALUATION -- Investments in equity securities which are traded on
a national 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 for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at the most recently quoted bid price. Debt obligations
with sixty days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their
amortized cost, which approximates market value.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- It is each Fund's intention to qualify as a regulated
investment company by complying with the appropriate provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provision for Federal
income taxes is required.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME -- Security transactions are
accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date).
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is
recognized on the accrual basis. Costs used in determining realized gains and
losses on the sales of investment securities are those of the specific
securities sold during the respective holding period.
NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE -- The net asset value per share of each Fund is
calculated on each business day, by dividing the total value of the Fund's
assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by the custodian bank until the respective agreements
mature. Provisions
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) TIP FUNDS
March 31, 1997 (Unaudited)
of the repurchase agreements ensure that the market value of the collateral,
including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default of 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 Funds may be delayed or limited.
OTHER -- Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged to
that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to the Funds on
the basis of relative daily net assets.
Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid to Shareholders
on a quarterly basis. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities are
distributed to Shareholders at least annually.
Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital
gains are determined in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations,
which may differ from those amounts determined under generally accepted
accounting principals. These book/tax differences are either temporary or
permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are
charged or credited to paid-in-capital or accumulated net realized gain, as
appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of SEI Fund Resources (the
"Administrator") and/or SEI Financial Services Company (the "Distributor"). Such
officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers and trustees of
the Trust.
4. ADMINISTRATION, SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS:
The TIP Trust and the Administrator are parties to an agreement under which the
Administrator provides management and administrative services for an annual fee
of .12% of the average daily net assets of each of the Funds up to $75 million,
.10% on the next $75 million, .09% on the next $150 million, .08% on the next
$300 million and .075% of such assets in excess on $600 million. During fiscal
1997, the Administrator has voluntarily waived a portion of its fee.
The Growth Equity Fund had directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid
a portion of its expenses. For the six month period ended March 31, 1997, the
Growth Equity Fund's expenses were reduced by $37,549 under this arrangement.
DST Systems, Inc., (the "Transfer Agent") serves as the transfer agent and
dividend disbursing agent for the Funds under a transfer agency agreement with
the Trust.
The Trust and the Distributor are parties to a Distribution Agreement dated
April 30, 1996. The Distributor receives no fees for its distribution services
under this agreement.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND CUSTODIAN AGREEMENTS:
The Trust and Turner Investment Partners, Inc. (the "Adviser") are parties to an
Investment Advisory Agreement dated April 30, 1996, under which the Adviser
receives an annual fee equal to .75% of the average daily net assets of the
Ultra Large Cap, Growth Equity and Midcap Funds, 1.00% of those of the Small Cap
Fund and .50% of those of the Fixed Income Fund. The Adviser has voluntarily
agreed to waive all or a portion of its fees and to reimburse expenses of the
Ultra Large Cap, Growth Equity, Midcap, Small Cap and Fixed Income Funds in
order to limit their total operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily
net assets on an annualized basis) to not more than 1.00%, 1.00%, 1.25%, 1.25%
and 0.75%, respectively. Fee waivers and expense reimbursements are voluntary
and may be terminated at any time.
CoreStates Bank, N.A. acts as custodian (the "Custodian") for the Funds. Fees of
the Custodian are being paid on the basis of the net assets of the Funds. The
Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Funds or
which securities are to be purchased or sold in the Funds.
6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS:
The cost of security purchases and the proceeds from security sales, other than
short-term investments, for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 are as
follows:

Item 27. Indemnification:
Article VIII of the Agreement of Declaration of Trust filed as Exhibit 1 to
the Registration Statement is incorporated by reference. Insofar as
indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the Declaration of Trust or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore, is
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by trustees, directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant
in connection with the successful defense of any act, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such trustees, directors, officers or controlling persons in
connection with the shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
C-2
<PAGE>
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.
