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 seeks 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.
In determining the fair value of the Trust's Indirect Investments, the Adviser
Trustee considers, among other things, the valuations provided by the general
partner managers of such investments. The valuations provided by the general
partner managers are reflected by the fair value of the Trust's capital account
balance for each such Indirect Investment. The capital account balance for each
Indirect Investment includes capital contributed by the Trust, distributions
received by the Trust and the Trust's allocated share of the Indirect
Investment's 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. The Trust's
capital account balance for each Indirect Investment is reviewed by the Adviser
Trustee for reasonableness and the fair value of each Indirect Investment may be
adjusted in the discretion of the Adviser Trustee. No such adjustments have been
made as of September 30, 2000.
The fair value of Direct Investments and securities received from Indirect
Investments ("Distributed 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.
<PAGE>
THE PACIFIC CORPORATE GROUP PRIVATE EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited), continued
As a result of delays in receiving 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 values assigned to portfolio investments are based on available information
and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized,
since such amounts depend on future circumstances that cannot be determined
until the investments are actually liquidated. Because of the inherent
uncertainty of valuation, the assigned values may differ significantly from the
values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed,
and the differences could be material.
The Trust's Direct Investments are restricted as to resale. Additionally, the
Trust's Indirect Investments in limited partnerships may be illiquid due to
provisions of the limited partnership agreements restricting the sale of
partnership interests.
Security Transactions and Investment Income - Security transactions are
accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Costs
used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment
securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis.
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.
Currency Risk - Although the majority of the Trust's investments are denominated
in U.S. dollars, the Trust may invest in securities denominated in currencies
other than its reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. Consequently, the Trust is
exposed to risk that the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar relative to other
currencies may change in a manner which has an adverse effect on the reported
value of that portion of the Trust's assets which are denominated in currencies
other than the U.S. dollar.
Syndication Costs - Selling commissions of $1,926,568 and other costs associated
with selling shares of the Trust totaling $568,126 have been recorded as a
direct reduction to shareholders' equity since the inception of the Trust.
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. Shareholders' Equity
In connection with the issuance of 108,659.8075 shares of beneficial interest
(the "Shares") of the Trust, shareholders contributed capital totaling $110.6
million, including a $500,000 capital contribution from the Adviser Trustee. The
Trust paid selling commissions of $1.9 million in connection with the sale of
the shares.
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
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, 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.
