                            ROCHDALE INVESTMENT TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

     Rochdale Atlas  Portfolio and Rochdale Magna  Portfolio (the  "Portfolios")
are diversified series of shares of beneficial  interest of Rochdale  Investment
Trust (the "Trust"),  which is registered  under the  Investment  Company Act of
1940  (the  "1940  Act")  as an  open-end  management  investment  company.  The
investment  objective of the Trust is to attain  long-term  total  returns.  The
Atlas Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing  primarily in equity
securities  of foreign  developed  and emerging  markets as  identified  through
Rochdale's proprietary methodology incorporating valuation, financial, economic,
and political attributes.  The Magna Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective of
long  -term  capital  appreciation  by  investing  primarily  in  securities  of
companies that meet the  fundamental  criteria  incorporated  in the proprietary
methodology of Rochdale  Investment  Management  ("Rochdale" or the  "Advisor"),
including various valuation and financial attributes.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The following is a summary of significant  accounting policies consistently
followed by the  Portfolios.  These  policies are in conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

     A.   Security Valuation.  In valuing the Portfolios' assets for calculating
          net asset value,  readily marketable  portfolio securities listed on a
          national  securities  exchange  or NASDAQ  are valued at the last sale
          price on the business day as of which such values is being determined.
          If there has been no sale on such  exchange  or on NASDAQ on such day,
          the  security is valued at the closing bid price on such day.  Readily
          marketable  securities traded only in an  over-the-counter  market and
          not on NASDAQ are valued at the  current or last bid price.  If no bid
          is quoted on such day,  the  security  is valued by such method as the
          Board of  Trustees  of the  Trust  shall  determine  in good  faith to
          reflect the security's fair value.  All other assets of the Portfolios
          are valued in such manner as the Board of Trustees in good faith deems
          appropriate to reflect their fair value.

     B.   Federal  Income  Taxes.  The  Portfolios  intend  to  comply  with the
          requirements  of the  Internal  Revenue Code  applicable  to regulated
          investment  companies and to distribute  all of its taxable  income to
          its  shareholders.  Therefore,  no  federal  income tax  provision  is
          required.

     C.   Security Transactions,  Investment Income and Distributions.  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. Purchase
          discounts  and  premiums  on  securities  held by the  Portfolios  are
          accreted  and  amortized  to  maturity  using the  effective  interest
          method.  Realized  gains and losses on securities  sold are determined
          under the identified cost method.

     D.   Deferred  Organization  Costs.  All of the  expenses  incurred  by the
          Advisor in connection with the  organization  and  registration of the
          Portfolios'  shares  will be borne  by the  Portfolios  and are  being
          amortized  to expense on a  straight-line  basis over a period of five
          years.

     E.   Foreign  Currency.   Values  of  investments  denominated  in  foreign
          currencies are converted into U.S.  dollars using the spot market rate
          of  exchange  at  the  time  of  valuation.  Purchases  and  sales  of
          investments  and dividend and interest income are translated into U.S.
          dollars  using the spot  market  rate of  exchange  prevailing  on the
          respective dates of such translations. The gain or loss resulting from
          changes in foreign  exchange  rates is included  with net realized and
          unrealized gain or loss from investments, as appropriate.

     F.   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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Rochdale  Investment  Management  Inc.  (the  "Advisor")  will provided the
Portfolios  with  investment  management  services under an Investment  Advisory
Agreement.  The  Advisor  will  furnish all  investment  advice,  office  space,
facilities,  and most of the personnel  needed by the Trust. As compensation for
its  services,  the Advisor will be entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate
of 1.00% from each  Portfolio  based upon the  average  daily net assets of each
Portfolio.

     The  Portfolios  are  responsible  for their own  operating  expenses.  The
Advisor  has  agreed to reduce  fees  payable to them by the  Portfolios  to the
extent necessary to limit each Portfolio's  aggregate annual operating  expenses
to 2.50%,  and 2.75% of average  net assets for the Magna and Atlas  Portfolios,
respectively. Any such reductions made by the Advisor in its fees or payments or
reimbursement of expenses which are the Portfolios' obligation may be subject to
reimbursement by the Portfolios  within the following three years,  provided the
Portfolios are able to effect such  reimbursement  and remain in compliance with
applicable  limitations.  Through  October 31, 1998, the Advisor has voluntarily
waived all expenses of the Portfolios.

     Investment Company Administration Corporation (the "Administrator") acts as
the Trust's Administrator under an Administration  Agreement.  The Administrator
prepares various federal and state regulatory  filings,  reports and returns for
the Portfolios; prepares reports and materials to  be supplied to  the trustees;

monitors  the  activities  of the  Portfolios'  custodian,  transfer  agent  and
accountants;  coordinates  the  preparation  and  payment of Fund  expenses  and
reviews  the  Fund's  expense  accruals.  For its  services,  the  Administrator
receives a monthly fee from each Portfolio at a rate of .10% annually of average
net assets, with a minimum annual fee per Portfolio of $40,000.

     Rochdale  Investment  Management,  Inc.,  the  Adviser,  also  acts  as the
Portfolios'  principal  underwriter  in a  continuous  public  offering  of  the
Portfolios' shares.

     Certain  officers  and  trustees  of the  Trust  are also  officers  and/or
directors of the Advisor or Administrator.

NOTE 4 - DISTRIBUTION PLAN

     The Portfolios  have adopted a Distribution  Plan (the "Plan")  pursuant to
Rule 12b-1.  The Plan provides that the Portfolios may pay for  distribution and
related  expenses of up to an annual rate of 0.25% of each  Portfolio's  average
net assets to  Rochdale  as  distributor.  Rochdale  does not expect to assess a
12b-1 fee during the first year of each Portfolio's operations.

NOTE 5 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

     For the period ended September 30, 1998 the Magna and the Atlas  Portfolios
purchased  U.S.  Government and Government  Agency  obligations,  with a cost of
$50,990 and $53,990, respectively.
