SEGALL BRYANT & HAMILL MID CAP FUND
December 5, 2000
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
For the one-year period ending October 31, 2000, the Segall Bryant & Hamill
Mid Cap Fund's total return at NAV was 33.80 percent. This compares to the
performance of the Russell Mid Cap Index of 23.46 percent. Year-to-date through
October 31, 2000, the Fund returned 21.27 percent and the Russell Mid Cap Index
returned 10.54 percent.
As we communicated to you in the past, we feel that the opportunity for
investing in the mid capitalization tier of the market is as attractive as it
has been in the past decade. We believe that we can find companies in this area
of the market that meet our investment criteria and offer good value. Although
we are focusing on smaller companies, the criteria which we use to select them
remains unchanged: consistently high return on invested capital (ROI), double
digit earnings growth and high levels of free cash flow. We continue to be
owners of stocks and not renters, focusing on the long-term intrinsic value of
their businesses.
Over the past year, especially in the first quarter of 2000, there has been
a dramatic shift in the investment landscape. Several issues are worth
mentioning. First, the speculation that drove the IPO market to unprecedented
levels came to an end, as the market became more rational and started to focus
on companies that have viable business models. Secondly, the mid capitalization
tier of the market started to perform much better, due to a combination of
valuation and better relative earnings growth. Although mid cap stocks have done
well over the past year, the fundamental outlook is still strong. Mid cap stocks
currently sell at a 30% valuation discount to the largest 100 equities in the
market; historically they have traded at a premium.
The Fund's outperformance of the Russell Mid Cap Index over the past year
is a combination of several factors. During the first quarter, we increased our
exposure in several technology stocks that had been depressed due to Y2K fears.
Most of these investments were in computer service stocks such as payroll and
credit card processors, wireless billing companies and outsourcing. These stocks
tend to have recurring revenue bases and perform well in volatile markets.
Secondly, as the economy started to slow, investors gravitated towards companies
that have more consistent earning growth. These "high quality" companies tend to
perform well in volatile investing environments. This volatile environment
should continue to drive the market throughout the balance of the year as
investors come to grip with slower earnings growth rates and the realization
that 20% annual returns in the equity markets are not guaranteed.

Our outlook for the economy is for slower growth in 2001; this is a change
from our former outlook of continued strength. The Fed's effort to slow the
economy has worked, and may have gone too far. Over the past few months, the
U.S. economy has started to slow dramatically, raising the possibility of a fed
EASING sometime early in 2001.
Our focus on high ROI mid capitalization stocks has led us to invest in
very solid companies that operate in unique industry settings. This strategy
leads us to concentrate the Fund on the growth segments of the economy such as
health care, technology and finance. We will tend to be overweighted in these
sectors and focus less on the more cyclical sectors of the market.
By focusing on mid cap growth companies with reasonable valuations, we
believe that our shareholders will benefit from both the attractive valuation
levels of this sector of the market and owning high quality growth companies.

SEGALL BRYANT & HAMILL MID CAP FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
The Segall Bryant & Hamill Mid Cap Fund (the "Fund") is a series of shares
of beneficial interest of Advisors Series Trust (the "Trust"), which is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. The Fund began operations on April 1, 1999. The
Fund's objective is to seek growth of capital by investing in
medium-capitalization ("mid-cap") companies with income as a secondary
objective.
NOTE 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. SECURITY VALUATION: The Fund's investments are carried at fair value.
Securities that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange
shall be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they
are primarily traded on the day of valuation or, if there has been no
sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices.
Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ National Market System for
which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the
last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale
on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices.
Over-the-counter ("OTC") securities which are not traded in the NASDAQ
National Market System shall be valued at the most recent trade price.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, if
any, are valued following procedures approved by the Board of
Trustees. Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market value.
B. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Fund's policy to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax
provision is required.
C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS: Security
transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income and
12
<PAGE>
SEGALL BRYANT & HAMILL MID CAP FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized
gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
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 at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net
assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
For the six months ended October 31, 2000, Segall Bryant & Hamill (the
"Advisor") provided the Fund with investment management services under an
Investment Advisory Agreement. The Advisor furnished all investment advice,
office space, facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Fund.
As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at
the annual rate of 0.75% based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund.
For the six months ended October 31, 2000, the Fund incurred $41,584 in Advisory
Fees.
The Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Advisor has
agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Fund and to pay Fund operating
expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Fund's aggregate annual operating
expenses to 1.40% of average net assets (the "expense cap"). Any such reductions
made by the Advisor in its fees or payment of expenses which are the Fund's
obligation are subject to reimbursement by the Fund to the Advisor, if so
requested by the Advisor, in subsequent fiscal years if the aggregate amount
actually paid by the Fund toward the operating expenses for such fiscal year
(taking into account the reimbursement) does not exceed the applicable
limitation on Fund expenses. The Advisor is permitted to be reimbursed only for
fee reductions and expense payments made in the previous three fiscal years, but
is permitted to look back five years and four years, respectively, during the
initial six years and seventh year of the Fund's operations. Any such
reimbursement is also contingent upon Board of Trustees review and approval at
13
<PAGE>
SEGALL BRYANT & HAMILL MID CAP FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the time the reimbursement is made. Such reimbursement may not be paid prior to
the Fund's payment of current ordinary operating expenses. For the six months
ended October 31, 2000, the Advisor reduced its fees and absorbed Fund expenses
in the amount of $43,521; no amounts were reimbursed to the Advisor.
Investment Company Administration, L.L.C. (the "Administrator") acts as the
Fund's Administrator under an Administration Agreement. The Administrator
prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for
the Fund; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Trustees;
monitors the activities of the Fund's custodian, transfer agent and accountants;
coordinates the preparation and payment of the Fund's expenses and reviews the
Fund's expense accruals. For its services, the Administrator receives a monthly
fee at the following annual rate:
Fund asset level Fee rate
---------------- --------
Less than $15 million $30,000
$15 million to less than $50 million 0.20% of average daily net assets
$50 million to less than $100 million 0.15% of average daily net assets
$100 million to less than $150 million 0.10% of average daily net assets
More than $150 million 0.05% of average daily net assets
First Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor") acts as the Fund's
principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund's shares. The
Distributor is an affiliate of the Administrator.
Certain officers of the Fund are also officers and/or directors of the
Administrator and the Distributor.
NOTE 4 - DISTRIBUTION COSTS
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the
"Plan"). The Plan permits the Fund to pay for distribution and related expenses
at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets
annually. The expenses covered by the Plan may include the cost of preparing and
distributing prospectuses and other sales material, advertising and public
relations expenses, payments to financial intermediaries and compensation of
personnel involved in selling shares of the Fund. Payments made pursuant to the
Plan will represent compensation for distribution and service activities, not
reimbursements for specific expenses incurred. Pursuant to a distribution
14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
coordination agreement adopted under the Plan, distribution fees are paid to the
Advisor as "Distribution Coordinator". For the six months ended October 31,
2000, the Fund paid the Distribution Coordinator in the amount of $13,861.
NOTE 5 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
For the six months ended October 31, 2000, the cost of purchases and the
proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, were
$5,003,544 and $5,004,312, respectively.
