                         Report of Independent Auditors

To the Members of
   Wynstone Fund, L.L.C.

We have audited the accompanying  statement of assets,  liabilities and members'
capital of Wynstone Fund,  L.L.C.  (the  "Company"),  including the schedules of
portfolio investments, securities sold, not yet purchased and written options as
of December 31, 1999, and the related  statement of operations for the year then
ended, and the statement of changes in members' capital--net assets for the year
then  ended  and  for  the  period  from  November  16,  1998  (commencement  of
operations)  to  December  31,  1998.   These   financial   statements  are  the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1999, by
correspondence  with the custodian and broker. An audit also includes  assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,  as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the  financial  position of Wynstone  Fund,  L.L.C.  at
December 31, 1999, the results of its  operations  for the year then ended,  and
the changes in its members'  capital--net assets for the year then ended and for
the period from  November  16, 1998 to December  31, 1998,  in  conformity  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

WYNSTONE FUND, L.L.C.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - DECEMBER 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     1.  ORGANIZATION

         Wynstone Fund, L.L.C. (the "Company") was organized as Wynstone
         Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") under the Delaware Revised Uniform
         Limited Partnership Act on August 13, 1998. Effective July 1, 1999 the
         Limited Partners of record as of May 12, 1999 elected to approve the
         conversion of the Partnership to a Delaware limited liability company.
         The Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
         "Act") as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company.
         The Company's term is perpetual unless the Company is otherwise
         terminated under the terms of the Limited Liability Company Agreement
         dated as of July 1, 1999.

         The Company's investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation.
         The Company pursues this objective by investing principally in equity
         securities of U.S. companies engaged in the financial services
         industry, but it may also invest up to 25% of the value of its total
         assets in the securities of foreign issuers, including depository
         receipts relating to foreign securities. Except during periods of
         adverse market conditions in the financial services industry or in the
         U.S. equity market generally, the Company will invest more than 25% of
         the value of its total assets in issuers engaged in the financial
         services industry. The Company's investments may include long and short
         positions in equity securities, fixed-income securities, and various
         derivatives, including options on securities and stock index options.

         Responsibility for the overall management and supervision of the
         operations of the Company is vested in the individuals who serve as the
         Board of Managers of the Company (the "Board of Managers"). There are
         four members of the Board of Managers and an "Adviser." CIBC
         Oppenheimer Advisers, L.L.C. (the "Adviser") serves as the investment
         adviser of the Company and is responsible for managing the Company's
         investment activities pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement.
         CIBC World Markets Corp. ("CIBC WM") (formerly CIBC Oppenheimer Corp.)
         is the managing member and controlling person of the Adviser and KBW
         Asset Management Inc. ("KBWAM") is a non-managing member of the
         Adviser. Investment professionals employed by KBWAM will manage the
         Company's investment portfolio on behalf of the Adviser under the
         supervision of CIBC WM.

         The acceptance of initial and additional capital contributions from
         Members is subject to approval by the Board of Managers. The Company
         may from time to time offer to repurchase interests pursuant to written
         tenders by Members. Such repurchases will be made at such times and on
         such terms as may be determined by the Board of Managers, in their
         complete and exclusive discretion. The Adviser expects that generally
         it will recommend to the Board of Managers that the Company repurchase
         interests from Members twice each year effective at the end of the
         second fiscal quarter and again at the end of the year.

     2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires the Adviser to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
         statements and accompanying notes. The Adviser believes that the
         estimates utilized in preparing the Company's financial statements are
         reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these
         estimates.

         A.  PORTFOLIO VALUATION

         Securities transactions, including related revenue and expenses, are
         recorded on a trade-date basis and dividends are recorded on the
         ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
         Domestic exchange traded or NASDAQ listed equity securities will be
         valued at their last composite sale prices as reported on the exchanges
         where such securities are traded. If no sales of such securities are
         reported on a particular day, the securities will be valued based upon
         their composite bid prices for securities held long, or their composite
         asked prices for securities sold short, as reported by such exchanges.
         Securities traded on a foreign securities exchange will be valued at
         their last sale prices on the exchange where such securities are
         primarily traded, or in the absence of a reported sale on a particular
         day, at their bid prices (in the case of securities held long) or asked
         prices (in the case of securities sold short) as reported by such
         exchange. Listed options will be valued at their bid prices (or asked
         prices in the case of listed options sold short) as reported by the
         exchange with the highest volume on the last day a trade was reported.
         Other securities for which market quotations are readily available will
         be valued at their bid prices (or asked prices in the case of
         securities sold short) as obtained from one or more dealers making
         markets for such securities. If market quotations are not readily
         available, securities and other assets will be valued at fair value as
         determined in good faith by, or under the supervision of, the Board of
         Managers.

         Debt securities will be valued in accordance with the procedures
         described above, which with respect to such securities may include the
         use of the valuations furnished by a pricing service which employs a
         matrix to determine valuation for normal institutional size trading
         units. The Board of Managers will periodically monitor the
         reasonableness of valuations provided by any such pricing service. Debt
         securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less will, absent
         unusual circumstances, be valued at amortized cost, so long as such
         valuation is determined by the Board of Managers to represent fair
         value.

         All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies
         will be converted into U.S. dollars using foreign exchange rates
         provided by a pricing service compiled as of 4:00 p.m. London time.
         Trading in foreign securities generally is completed, and the values of
         such securities are determined, prior to the close of securities
         markets in the U.S. Foreign exchange rates are also determined prior to
         such close.

     2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         A.  PORTFOLIO VALUATION (CONTINUED)

         On occasion, the values of such securities and exchange rates may be
         affected by events occurring between the time such values or exchange
         rates are determined and the time that the net asset value of the
         Company is determined. When such events materially affect the values of
         securities held by the Company or its liabilities, such securities and
         liabilities will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith
         by, or under the supervision of, the Board of Managers.

         B.   INCOME TAXES

         No provision for the payment of Federal, state or local income taxes on
         the profits of the Company have been made. The Members are individually
         liable for their share of the Company's income.

     3.  ADMINISTRATION FEE, RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER

         CIBC WM provides certain administrative services to the Company
         including, among other things, providing office space and other support
         services. In exchange for such services, the Company pays CIBC WM a
         monthly administration fee of .08333% (1% on an annualized basis) of
         the Company's net assets determined as of the beginning of the month.

         Payable to  affiliate  represents  insurance  premiums  paid in th
         amount of $67,769  paid on behalf of the Company by CIBC WM.

         During the year ended December 31, 1999, CIBC WM earned no brokerage
         commissions from portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the
         Company. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., an affiliated broker of KBWAM,
         earned $14,853 in brokerage commissions from portfolio transactions
         executed on behalf of the Company.

         The Adviser will serve as the Special Advisory Member of the Company.
         In such capacity, the Adviser will be entitled to receive an incentive
         allocation (the "Incentive Allocation"), charged to the capital account
         of each Member as of the last day of each allocation period, of 20% of
         the amount by which net profits, if any, exceed the positive balance in
         the Member's "loss recovery account." The Incentive Allocation will be
         credited to the Special Advisory Account of the Adviser. During the
         year ended December 31, 1999, there was no Incentive Allocation to the
         Special Advisory Account.

         Each member of the Board of Managers (a "Manager") who is not an
         "interested person" of the Company, as defined by the Act, receives an
         annual retainer of $5,000 plus a fee for each meeting attended.
         Currently, no Manager is an "interested person" of the Company. All
         Managers are reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket
         expenses incurred by them in performing their duties. For the year
         ended, December 31, 1999, fees paid to the Board of

     3.  ADMINISTRATION FEE, RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER (CONTINUED)

         Managers (including meeting fees and a pro-rata annual retainer) and
         expenses totaled $27,621.

         The Chase Manhattan Bank serves as Custodian of the Company's assets.

         PFPC Inc. serves as Investor Services and Accounting Agent to the
         Company, and in that capacity, provides certain accounting,
         recordkeeping, tax and investor related services.

     4.  SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

         Aggregate purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding
         short-term securities, for the year ended December 31, 1999, amounted
         to $24,203,847 and $18,933,608, respectively.

         At December 31, 1999, the cost of investments for Federal income tax
         purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting
         purposes. At December 31, 1999, accumulated net unrealized depreciation
         on investments was $413,132, consisting of $285,323 gross unrealized
         appreciation and $698,455 gross unrealized depreciation.

         Due to broker primarily represents receivables and payables from
         unsettled security trades and proceeds from securities sold, not yet
         purchased.

     5.  SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

         The Company has the ability to trade on margin and, in that connection,
         borrow from brokers and banks for investment purposes. Trading in
         equity securities on margin involves an initial cash requirement
         representing at least 50% of the underlying security's value with
         respect to transactions in U.S. markets and varying percentages with
         respect to transactions in foreign markets. The Act requires the
         Company to satisfy an asset coverage requirement of 300% of its
         indebtedness, including amounts borrowed, measured at the time the
         Company incurs the indebtedness. As of December 31, 1999, and for the
         year then ended, the Company had no margin borrowings. The Company pays
         interest on outstanding margin borrowings at an annualized rate of
         LIBOR plus 0.875%. The Company pledges securities as collateral for the
         margin borrowings, which are maintained in a segregated account held by
         the Custodian.

     6.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK OR
         CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

         In the normal course of business, the Company may trade various
         financial instruments and enter into various investment activities with
         off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include forward
         contracts, options and securities sold, not yet purchased. Generally,
         these financial instruments represent future commitments to purchase or
         sell other financial instruments at specific

     6.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK OR
         CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK (CONTINUED)

         terms at future dates. Each of these financial instruments contains
         varying degrees of off-balance sheet risk whereby changes in the market
         value of the securities underlying the financial instruments may be in
         excess of the amounts recognized in the statement of assets,
         liabilities and members' capital.

         The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times,
         may exceed Federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced
         any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any
         significant credit risk on cash.

         Securities sold, not yet purchased represent obligations of the Company
         to deliver specified securities and thereby creates a liability to
         purchase such securities in the market at prevailing prices.
         Accordingly, these transactions result in off-balance sheet risk as the
         Company's ultimate obligation to satisfy the sale of securities sold,
         not yet purchased may exceed the amount indicated in the statement of
         assets, liabilities and members' capital.

         The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Company pays
         a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the
         Company bears the risk of loss of premium and change in market value
         should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call
         options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as investment
         securities.

         Transactions in purchased options were as follows:

</TABLE>

         When the Company writes an option, the premium received by the Company
         is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current
         market value of the option written. If a call option is exercised, the
         premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying
         security or currency in determining whether the Company has realized a
         gain or loss. In writing an option, the Company bears the market risk
         of an unfavorable change in the price of the security, index or
         currency underlying the written option.
