TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF ORCHARD SERIES FUND:
Global financial markets experienced a significant rebound to the benefit of our
shareholders during the fiscal year-ending October 31, 1999. Equity markets
around the globe, in the Americas, Europe, and the Pacific Rim, provided
double-digit returns to investors as signs of sustained economic recovery
surfaced in the developing economies of the world. The simulative effect of
numerous central bank interest rate cuts in countries around the world during
the fall of 1998 that helped to avert a global financial and economic meltdown
provided the liquidity necessary to jump start the world economy. The benefits
of stronger economic growth on corporate profits helped to propel stock prices
higher around the globe.
Over the course of 1999, central bankers in North America and Europe began to
nudge short-term rates higher to avoid the possibility of introducing price
inflation into economies experiencing strong economic growth. The rate hikes
have had minimal effect on the rate of economic growth in the post-industrial
world, and inflation measures remain subdued. Most economic analysts are calling
for more of the same in terms of moderate to strong economic growth with low
inflation for the year ahead.
While it is impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any
degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors
plan for their future needs. These principals include determining one's
investment objectives and tolerance for risk, adjusting for one's investment
time frame, diversifying, developing an overall strategy and sticking to it. Are
you investing for aggressive growth, long-term growth, growth and income, or
current income? How much relative risk are you willing to accept in exchange for
the potential to achieve those objectives?
The longer your investment time frame, or horizon, the less likely it is that
you will be affected by short-term market volatility. For medium horizons,
short-term volatility may have more of an impact on your investments. If your
investment horizon is short, you may wish to consider primarily those investment
options that seek income and maintain a relatively stable share value.
No matter what your objectives, risk tolerance or investment horizon, it makes
sense to diversify your holdings. While investing in a diversified mutual fund
spreads your risk over several or many companies and usually over several
industries, you may wish to diversify further. By investing in funds that hold
securities of different types or in various sizes of companies, you may be able
to reduce the risk that one particular segment of the U.S. market doing poorly
could significantly harm your portfolio in the long term. You may also wish to
diversify your portfolio across multiple geographic markets, such as the U.S.,
Europe and/or the Pacific.
If you have questions, please call us at (800) 338-4015, so that we may provide
you with information that can be useful to you in making investment decisions.
Orchard Series Fund offers three funds. A review of these funds, including their
independently audited financial statements and financial highlights for the
fiscal year, is provided with this annual report.
<PAGE>
ORCHARD INDEX 500 FUND
The S&P 500 Index, after driving up to the 1400 level in July, was range bound
between 1300 and 1400 for the rest of the year, ending October 29, 1999 at
1362.93. As tech stocks outperformed the other sectors, more and more value
investors became momentum investors in order to keep up with their competition.
Foreign investor's also jumped on the bandwagon, further exacerbating the
difference between the large-cap and small-cap indices. Tech stocks continued to
perform well, as well as bank stocks, which benefited from the dismantling of
the Glass Steagal Act.
The index cooled off for the last few months of the year. This was due to the
increased possibility of further interest rate hikes. Also, investor interest
has become focused on improving Asian and European economies.

This graph, prepared in accordance with SEC regulations, compares a $10,000
investment in the Orchard Index 500 Fund, made at its inception, with the
performance of the S&P 500 Index. Results include the reinvestment of all
dividends and capital gains distributions. Portfolio inception: 2/3/97. Past
performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal
value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth
more or less that their original cost.
<PAGE>
ORCHARD INDEX 600 FUND
With investor focus still on large-cap stocks, this year small-cap indices
lagged behind large-cap indices. While the S&P 600 Index was up a respectable
12.02%, the S&P 500 Index continued its upward march with a total return of
25.67%. During the year, relative small-cap valuations, compared to the S&P 500
Index, fell to record lows. Small-caps sold at a 19% discount to their large-cap
counterparts.
Within small-caps the only bright spot was the technology sector. Small-cap tech
stocks were valued at a record premium of 109% over non-tech small-cap stocks.
Similar to biotechs in 1990, Internet and telecom issues, although profitless,
carried the index throughout the year.

ORCHARD VALUE FUND
Orchard Value Fund's performance for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1999 was
greatly impacted by unique market conditions. The market's performance was
driven by a very small number of large technology stocks trading at price to
earnings ratios, or PE's, never before seen. In the third quarter,
disappointments were compounded by the overall poor performance of financial
stocks that were down 16.67% as a group. The poor performance of financials was
due to Federal Reserve tightening, which halted the outperformance of value
versus growth that had begun in the second quarter.
The Orchard Value Fund does not invest in stocks with PE's above those on the
S&P 500 Index as these are not considered to be "value" stocks. As was the case
in 1998 and the first quarter of 1999, the return on the Russell 1000 Value
Index in the third quarter was in large part due to the fact that it included
stocks with an average PE of 48.33, outside of what is considered to be "value"
stocks. The unweighted return of the Russell 1000 Value Index, after removing
the non-value stocks was -10.21% versus a return of -12.71% for the Orchard
Value Fund's manager. The narrowness of the market return continues to make it
very difficult for active managers to beat market indices.
During the third quarter the Orchard Value Fund manager did take advantage of a
market correction to significantly upgrade the quality of the portfolio by
buying large cap companies whose stocks became temporarily inexpensive. However,
until the Fed finishes raising interest rates, it will be difficult for the
broader market to advance. The vast majority of stocks have continued to decline
while a very small number of stocks have propped up the indices. Almost every
group except technology has significantly corrected and the manager does not
expect the market to improve until technology stocks drop substantially.
However, the Orchard Value Fund continues to be heavily weighted in basic
materials and energy stocks, as this is where the manager sees the best
combination of valuation and earnings momentum as we move into the new
millennium.

Given the fundamental objectives of the Orchard Value Fund, the investment
adviser and sub-adviser have determined that the Russell 1000 Value Index is the
appropriate index to use as the benchmark for the Orchard Value Fund's
performance.
This graph, prepared in accordance with SEC regulations, compares a $10,000
investment in the Orchard Value Fund, made at its inception, with the
performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 1000 Value Index. Results
include the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions.
Portfolio inception: 3/2/98. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's
shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less that their original cost.

THE ORCHARD SERIES FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION
The Orchard Series Fund is an open-end management investment company
organized as a Delaware business trust (the Trust) on July 23, 1996. The
Trust currently offers four separate diversified portfolios, commonly
known as mutual funds (the Funds), which are registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the provisions of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended): Orchard Index 500 Fund,
Orchard Index 600 Fund, Orchard Money Market Fund and Orchard Value
Fund. The Orchard Index European Fund, Orchard Index Pacific Fund and
Orchard Preferred Stock Fund (separate portfolios of the Trust) were
terminated as of July 23, 1999. All assets, including accrued dividends
were distributed to shareholders; therefore, the valuation of each fund
is zero.
Initial capitalization of $100,000 for each Fund, excluding Orchard
Value, was received on January 27, 1997 from Great-West Life & Annuity
Insurance Company (GWL&A). Additional capitalization was received from
GWL&A on February 3, 1997 as follows: $2,900,000 for Orchard Money
Market Fund and $4,400,000 for Orchard Index 600 Fund. Orchard Value
Fund received $2,000,000 of initial capitalization from GWL&A on
February 26, 1998. At October 31, 1999, GWL&A's investment in the Funds
totaled $7,599,631.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Fund, which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the investment company industry:
Dividends
Dividend income for the Funds is accrued as of the ex-dividend date and
interest income is recorded daily.
Dividends from investment income of the Orchard Money Market Fund are
declared daily and reinvested monthly. Dividends from investment income
of the other funds are declared and reinvested semi-annually. Dividends
from capital gains of the funds, if any, are reinvested at least
annually in additional shares at net asset value.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is
purchased or sold (trade date). The cost of investments sold is
determined on the basis of the first-in, first-out method (FIFO).
Security Valuation
Short-term and money market securities are valued at amortized cost
which approximates market value. Equity securities listed on an
established exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued
at the last sale price as of the close of business. Fixed income and
other securities are valued by independent pricing services approved by
the Board of Directors. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith
by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.
<PAGE>
Financial Futures Contracts
The index funds may invest in financial futures contracts as a
substitute for a comparable market position in the underlying
securities. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the funds
are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other
assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial
margin deposit). Receipts or payments, known as "variation margin", are
made or received by the funds each day, depending on the daily
fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security.
Federal Income Taxes
For federal income tax purposes, each Fund qualifies as a regulated
investment company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code by
distributing substantially all of its taxable net income (both ordinary
and capital gain) to its shareholders and complying with other
requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no
provision for federal income taxes has been made.
Classification of Distributions to Shareholders
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for
financial statements and tax purposes. The character of distributions
made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains
may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax
purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal
year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in
which the income or realized gain was recorded by the Funds.
3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
GW Capital Management, LLC (Capital Management), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of GWL&A, serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant
to an investment advisory agreement, which was approved by the Funds'
Board of Directors. Capital Management is a registered investment
adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The investment
advisory agreement provides that Capital Management, subject to the
supervision and approval of the Funds' Board of Directors, is
responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund which includes
selecting the Funds' investments and handling their business affairs.
As compensation for its services to the Funds, the investment adviser
receives monthly compensation at the annual rate of .20% of the average
daily net assets of the Orchard Money Market Fund, .60% of the average
daily net assets of the Orchard Index 500 Fund and Orchard Index 600
Fund and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Orchard Value
Fund.
Subject to revision, Capital Management has voluntarily agreed to
reimburse the Orchard Money Market Fund to the extent that total
operating expenses exceed .46% of average net assets. Interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses are not eligible for
reimbursement.
Expenses incurred by the Fund, which are not fund specific, are
allocated among the funds based on relative net assets or other
appropriate allocation methods. For certain funds, the management fee
encompasses other fund operation expenses.
4. OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
One Orchard Equities, a wholly-owned subsidiary of One Corporation,
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A, distributes and markets the
Trust's Funds. Financial Administrative Services Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A, performs transfer agent servicing
functions for the Funds.
Certain officers of the Trust are also directors and/or officers of
GWL&A or its subsidiaries. No officer of the Trust receives any
compensation directly from the Funds.
<PAGE>
5. CAPITAL STOCK
The Trust has authorized an unlimited number of shares with no stated
par value for each portfolio in the Trust. Shares may be issued in one
or more series of shares, and each series may be issued in one or more
classes of shares. Each Fund represents a separate series of shares.
6. UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION)
At October 31, 1999, the U.S. Federal income tax cost basis was
$561,477,060, $135,178,365, and $2,520,260 for Orchard Index 500,
Orchard Index 600 and Orchard Value Funds, respectively. As of October
