THE PACIFIC CORPORATE GROUP PRIVATE EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.     Organization and Purpose

The Pacific  Corporate  Group  Private  Equity Fund (the  "Trust") is a Delaware
business trust,  formed on September 22, 1997. The Trust, which began operations
on February 9, 1998  ("Commencement  of  Operations"),  is registered  under the
Investment  Company  Act  of  1940,  as  amended,  as a  closed-end,  management
investment  company.  Pacific Corporate Group,  Inc., the Adviser Trustee of the
Trust (the "Adviser Trustee"), manages the investment policies and operations of
the Trust. The Adviser Trustee and four individual  Trustees  (collectively  the
"Trustees"),  three of whom are not  affiliated  with the Adviser  Trustee  (the
"Independent  Trustees"),  are  responsible  for the overall  supervision of the
Trust. The objective of the Trust is to achieve, through selected private market
equity and equity-related investments, rates of return superior to public market
investment  alternatives,  while reducing risks through the  diversification  of
investments  within the  private  market.  The Trust  will seek to achieve  this
objective  through   investments   primarily  in  a  portfolio  of  partnerships
("Indirect  Investments")  and, with respect to up to 25% of committed  capital,
direct   investment   in  private  or  public   operating   companies   ("Direct
Investments").

The Trust is scheduled  to terminate on December 31, 2009,  subject to extension
in the sole  discretion of the  Trustees,  for up to three  additional  one-year
periods.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Valuation of Investments - Short-term  investments are valued at amortized cost,
which approximates  market.  Portfolio  investments are carried at fair value as
determined  quarterly  by the  Adviser  Trustee in  accordance  with  procedures
established by the Trustees.

The fair value of the Trust's Indirect Investments is based on the fair value of
the  Trust's  capital  account  balance in each such  Indirect  Investment.  The
capital account balance of each Indirect Investment includes capital contributed
by the Trust and its allocated share of the Indirect Investment's  undistributed
profits and losses,  including  unrealized profits and losses.  Such allocations
reflect certain fees and expenses incurred by the Indirect Investment entity and
drawn against that entity's cash position.  These capital  account  balances are
reviewed by the Adviser  Trustee for  reasonableness  and may be adjusted in the
discretion of the Adviser Trustee.

As a result of delays in receipt of quarterly financial  statements from certain
of the Trust's  Indirect  Investments,  the Trust's capital account  balances in
such Indirect Investments used to determine certain fair values may not be as of
the same date as the Trust's financial statements.  Any adjustments to such fair
values, which would have been recorded had current capital account balances been
available,  will be reflected in subsequent  financial  statements of the Trust.
The  Adviser  Trustee is unable to  estimate  whether  such  adjustments  to the
Indirect Investments' fair values would be material.

The fair value of Direct  Investments  is determined  by the Adviser  Trustee as
follows: (i) unrestricted  publicly-held  securities for which market quotations
are readily available are valued at the closing public market price for the last
trading day of the accounting period, (ii) restricted  publicly-held  securities
may be valued at a discount from the closing  public market price,  depending on
the circumstances;  and (iii) privately-held securities are valued at cost until
significant  developments  affecting the portfolio  company  provide a basis for
change  in  valuation.  Factors  to be  considered  in  arriving  at a change in
valuation  of  such  privately-held  securities  include  the  price  of  recent
transactions in the company's  securities and the company's earnings,  sales and
book value.

THE PACIFIC CORPORATE GROUP PRIVATE EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited), continued

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.

Organizational  and  Start-Up  Costs -  Organizational  and  start-up  costs  of
$183,271 are being  amortized over a period of sixty months from the date of the
Trust's initial closing.

Syndication  Costs -  Selling  commissions  of  $1,926,568  and  other  costs of
$568,126  associated  with selling  shares of the Trust have been  recorded as a
direct reduction to shareholders' equity.

Income Taxes - No provision  for income taxes has been made since all income and
losses are allocable to the  shareholders  for inclusion in their respective tax
returns.

Statement of Cash Flows - The Trust considers its interest-bearing account to be
a cash equivalent.

Financial  Instruments - The Trust carries its financial  instruments at amounts
which approximate fair value.

3.     Capital Commitments

At the initial  closing,  held on February 9, 1998, the Trust sold 62,813 shares
of beneficial  interest  (the  "Shares"),  accepting  capital  commitments  from
shareholders  totaling $64.1 million.  The Trust held additional closings during
1998,  with the final  closing  held on April 30,  1998,  selling an  additional
45,847 Shares and accepting  additional  capital  commitments from  shareholders
totaling $46.5 million.  As of June 30, 1998, the  shareholders  had contributed
$55.2  million,  or 50% of their total  capital  commitments  to the Trust.  The
shareholders'  remaining  capital  commitments  to the Trust are scheduled to be
called on February 9, 1999. Of the total Shares outstanding, the Adviser Trustee
owns 500 Shares and has a capital commitment of $500,000,  of which $250,000 was
contributed as of June 30, 1998.

4.     Management Fee

The Adviser Trustee receives a management fee at the annual rate of 1.25% of the
aggregate  capital  commitments  to the Trust,  reduced by capital  returned and
realized  investment  losses.  Such fee is determined  and payable  quarterly in
advance.  The management fee is reduced by 100% of directors' fees or other cash
remuneration  received by the Adviser Trustee from any portfolio  company of the
Trust.

5.     Independent Trustee Fees

As compensation for services  rendered to the Trust,  each  Independent  Trustee
receives $10,000 annually in quarterly installments and $500 for each meeting of
the Independent Trustees attended,  plus out-of-pocket  expenses.  Additionally,
the  Independent   Trustees  also  are  members  of  the  Audit  Committee.   As
compensation  for  services  rendered  to the  Trust  as  members  of the  Audit
Committee,  each of the  Independent  Trustees  receives  an  additional  $2,500
annually in quarterly  installments  and $250 for each Audit  Committee  meeting
attended.

6.     Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss

Net income and net loss from Indirect Investments,  and all other net income and
net loss,  other  than net  income  and net loss  from  Direct  Investments,  is
allocated to all shareholders,  including the Adviser Trustee, pro rata based on
Shares held.

Additionally,  the Adviser Trustee will be allocated, on a cumulative basis over
the life of the Trust, 20% of the Trust's aggregate net income and net loss from
Direct Investments, other than "pari passu co-investments",  and 15% from Direct
Investments in "pari passu  co-investments" (as described below),  provided that
such  amount is  positive.  The  remaining  80%  and/or  85% of such  amounts is
allocated to all shareholders  including the Adviser Trustee,  pro rata based on
Shares held. If the  aggregate  net income and net loss from Direct  Investments
(including  "pari passu  co-investments")  is negative,  such net income and net
loss is allocated to all shareholders,  including the Adviser Trustee,  pro rata
based on Shares held.

"Pari passu co-investments" refers to Direct Investments that are co-investments
in the same securities and on the same terms alongside  general partner managers
of Indirect  Investments  held by the Trust, in transactions  involving  issuers
held by investment vehicles in which the Trust has invested.

7.     Investment Commitments

As of June 30,  1998,  the  Trust had  unfunded  investment  commitments  in the
