               REGIONAL OPPORTUNITY FUND: OHIO, INDIANA, KENTUCKY

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 August 31, 1998


Organization  expenses - Expenses of organization  have been capitalized and are
being  amortized on a  straight-line  basis over five years. In the event any of
the initial shares of the Fund are redeemed during the amortization  period, the
redemption  proceeds  will be reduced by a pro rata  portion of any  unamortized
organization  expenses in the same  proportion  as the number of initial  shares
being redeemed bears to the number of initial shares of the Fund  outstanding at
the time of the redemption.

Security  transactions - Security  transactions are accounted for on trade date.
Securities sold are valued on a specific identification basis.

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  required  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 income and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal  Income  Tax - It is the  Fund's  policy  to  comply  with  the  special
provisions  of the Internal  Revenue  Code  applicable  to regulated  investment
companies.  As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so qualified
and  distributes  at least 90% of its taxable net income,  the Fund (but not the
shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income  distributed.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.

In  order  to  avoid  imposition  of the  excise  tax  applicable  to  regulated
investment companies, it is also the Fund's intention to declare as dividends in
each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment  income (earned curing the
calendar  year) and 98% of its net realized  capital  gains  (earned  during the
twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The following information is based upon the federal income tax cost of portfolio
investments of $4,373,279 August 31, 1998:

     Gross unrealized appreciation...............................  $ 896,486
     Gross unrealized depreciation ..............................   (315,028)
     Net unrealized appreciation.................................    581,458

As of August 31, 1998,  the Fund had $91,130 of capital loss  carryforwards  for
federal  income tax purposes,  none of which expire prior to August 31, 2005. In
addition,  the Fund  elected to defer  until its  subsequent  tax year $9,880 of
capital losses incurred after October 31, 1997. The Board of Trustees intends to
utilize these capital loss  carryforwards  and  "post-October"  losses in future
years  to  offset  net  realized   capital  gains  prior  to   distribution   to
shareholders.
