Report to Shareholders

Dear Valued Shareholder:

We are pleased to present you with the Oak Associates Funds' semi-annual report
for the six-month period ending April 30, 1998. Enclosed you will find
information on the holdings of each of the Funds, along with Financial
Highlights and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. We encourage you to read
them to help you stay informed about your mutual fund investment.


Performance Review

Both funds declined in the fourth quarter of last year on concerns about the
Pacific Rim. Technology stocks were hit especially hard. At the time, we
mentioned that while the problems in Asia were not over, we felt the markets had
overreacted. This was followed by a sharp year-to-date rebound in the first four
months of 1998, with White Oak Growth up 22.72% and Pin Oak Aggressive up 25.19%
as of April 30th.

Annualized performance as of April 30, 1998 is shown below.

Looking Ahead

Our outlook for the market remains bullish. We believe there are many reasons to
be positive in the intermediate and long run. Our optimism is based on our
bullish expectations for interest rates and continued U.S. leadership in many
strategic industries. We believe the United States is undergoing a significant
economic transformation, similar to the one that occurred with the Industrial
Revolution. Our country's adoption of technology is leading us to a new level of
productivity, which will give rise to improved living standards for everyone,
just as automobiles and electricity did decades ago.

The market has had a strong run and we believe this has been driven by
fundamental improvements in the economy that should continue for some time. We
do not think the stock market has disjoined itself from the economy. We believe
the two are in sync, and do not believe a crash is imminent just because the
market has been hitting new highs.

                                                                               1

Report to Shareholders (continued)

This is not to say that, in the quest for outstanding performance, there will
not be speed bumps along the way. The markets tend to be irrational in the short
run. But if the long-term fundamentals of a stock holding remain strong, we view
these temporary market downturns as buying opportunities. These fluctuations
will continue in the future, but we expect the patient investor will be richly
rewarded over the long haul.

Service Enhancements

Although our primary duty is investment management, we continue to look for
better ways to serve you. Expanding the services offered through our toll-free
telephone number and web site are a continuous focus of our team. We have also
been enhancing the look of the quarterly reports and monthly statements you
receive, and you can expect further changes in the future. All of these
improvements are made with an eye on maintaining or decreasing our Funds'
operating expenses. Please feel free to call 1-888-462-5386 or visit the
Feedback section of our web site at www.oakassociates.com with any suggestions
or comments you may have.

We appreciate the confidence you have placed in our firm and look to the future
with great optimism.

Sincerely,

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 1998


1. Organization:

The Oak Associates Funds (the "Trust") is organized as a Massachusetts business
trust under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated November 6, 1997. The
Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified open-end management investment company with two portfolios. The
financial statements included herein are those of the Pin Oak Aggressive Stock
Portfolio and the White Oak Growth Stock Portfolio (the "Funds"). The assets of
each portfolio are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited to the
portfolio in which shares are held. The Funds' prospectus provides a description
of each Fund's investment objectives, policies and strategies.

On February 25, 1998, the shareholders of the Advisors' Inner Circle White Oak
Growth Stock Fund and the Pin Oak Aggressive Stock Fund (the "Oak Funds") voted
to approve a tax-free reorganization of the Oak Funds through a transfer of all
assets and liabilities to the Oak Associates Funds White Oak Growth Stock
Portfolio and Pin Oak Aggressive Stock Portfolio. The reorganization took place
on February 27, 1998.


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 provisions for
     Federal income taxes are 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 each Fund's
     assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding.

     Expenses--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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 1998

     Distributions to Shareholders--Distributions from net investment income are
     declared and paid to Shareholders on a quarterly basis, as applicable. Any
     net realized capital gains on sales of securities are distributed to
     Shareholders at least annually.


     Distributions from net investment income and 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 principles. These book/tax differences are either temporary or
     permanent in nature.


     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 amount 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.




3. Transactions with Affiliates:

Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of SEI Fund Resources (the
"Administrator") and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the "Distributor").
Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers of the
Trust.


4. Administration, Shareholder Servicing and Distribution Agreements:

The Trust and the Administrator are parties to an Administrative Agreement dated
February 27, 1998, under which the Administrator provides management and
administrative services for an annual fee of 0.15% of the average daily net
assets of each of the Funds up to $250 million, 0.12% on the next $200 million,
0.10% on the next $200 million, and 0.08% of such assets in excess of $650
million. There is a minimum annual fee of $50,000 per fund.

DST Systems, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as the transfer agent and
dividend distributing agent for the Funds under a transfer agency agreement with
the Trust.

The Trust and the Distributor are parties to a Distribution Agreement dated
February 27, 1998. The Distributor receives no fees for its distribution
services under this agreement.


5. Investment Advisory and Custodian Agreements:

The Trust and Oak Associates, Ltd. (the "Adviser") are parties to an Investment
Advisory Agreement dated February 27, 1998 under which the Adviser receives an
annual fee equal to .74% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. The
Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of its fees (and to
reimburse the Funds' expenses if necessary) in order to limit operating expenses
to not more than 1.00% of the average daily net assets of each of the Funds. Fee
waivers and expense reimbursements are voluntary and may be terminated at any
time.

                                                                               9

April 30, 1998

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 by 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 April 30, 1998 are as
follows:

At April 30, 1998, the total cost of securities and the net realized gains or
losses on securities sold for Federal income tax purposes were not materially
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes. The aggregate
gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for securities held by the Funds
at April 30, 1998, are as follows:

                                  Pin Oak    White Oak

purposes are as follows:

                           $1,377,679

The capital loss carryforwards will be used to offset future net realized gains,
if any, and such gains so offset will not be distributed.
