NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1) ORGANIZATION
Burridge Funds (the "Trust") was created on August 30, 1996 as a
Massachusetts Business Trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. Burridge Capital Development Fund (the "Fund") is the sole
series issued by the Trust, which is an open-end management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended.
The Fund issued and sold 10,000 shares of beneficial interest at $10 per share
on November 18, 1996. The Fund commenced operations on December 27, 1996. The
objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.
The costs incurred in connection with the organization, initial
registration and public offering of shares, aggregating $60,616, were advanced
to the Fund and are payable to the Adviser. These costs are being amortized
over the period of benefit, but not to exceed sixty months from the Fund's
commencement of operations. The Fund's initial shareholders have agreed that if
any of the initial shares are redeemed during the first sixty months of the
Fund's operations by any holder thereof, the proceeds of the redemption will be
reduced by the pro rata share of the anamortized organization expenses as of the
date of the redemption. The pro rata share by which the redemption proceeds
shall redeemed shall be derived by dividing the number of original shares
redeemed by the total number of original shares outstanding at the time of
redemption.
2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
a) Investment Valuation - Securities which are traded on a securities exchange
(including options on indexes so traded) or securities listed on the Nasdaq
National Market are valued at the last sale price on the exchange or market
where primarily traded or listed or, if there is no recent sale price available,
at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices. Securities not so
traded or listed are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked
prices if market quotations are available. Money market instruments maturing in
60 days or less are normally valued at amortized cost. Securities or other
assets for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued at a
fair value as determined in good faith by the Trust's Board of Trustees.
b) Federal Income Taxes - No provision for federal income taxes or excise
taxes has been made since the Fund intends to elect to be taxed as a "regulated
investment company" and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income
to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.
c) Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends from net investment income are
declared and paid at least annually. Distributions of net realized capital
gains, if any, will be declared at least annually.
d) Use of Estimates - 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 revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
e) Other - Investment and shareholder transactions are accounted for no later
than the first business day after trade date. The Fund determines the gain or
loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the original cost of
the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Dividend income is
recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an
accrual basis. Generally accepted accounting principles require that permanent
differences between financial and tax reporting be reclassified to capital
stock.

5). INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

Burridge Group LLC (the "Adviser"). Pursuant to its Advisory Agreement with the
Fund, the Adviser is entitled to receive a fee, calculated daily and payable
monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% on the first $500 million of average daily
net assets, 0.85% on the next $500 million of average daily net assets, and
0.75% on the average daily net assets over $1 billion. The Adviser has
voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee
but excluding extraordinary costs or expenses not incurred in the ordinary
course of the Fund's operations) to 1.50% of the Fund's average daily net
assets.
