To Our Shareholders
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Dodge & Cox Stock Fund had a total return of -2.2% in the second quarter of
2000, versus -2.7% for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500). For the first
half of 2000, the Fund had a total return of -2.0% compared to -0.4% for the
S&P 500. Longer-term results appear on page three of this report. As of June
30, 2000, the Fund's $4.6 billion in assets were invested 92% in stocks and 8%
in cash equivalents.

First Half 2000 Performance Review

The U.S. equity markets remained volatile during the first half of 2000, with
an investment "tug of war" going on between the so-called "Old Economy"
companies (established producers of goods and services) and "New Economy"
companies (largely technology and internet firms). As the valuation gap between
these two segments of the market remains historically wide, we continue to
believe the most attractive investment prospects are in the "Old Economy," low-
valuation segment.

Returns of the S&P 500 are now largely determined by the performance of stocks
in the technology sector, since these stocks represent about 30% of the market
value of all companies in the Index. The Dodge & Cox Stock Fund is positioned
quite differently, holding 8% of its portfolio in technology companies.
Consequently, this differential is important in explaining the variance between
the Fund's returns and the Index's returns in a given period. The Fund's lower
weighting in technology was a drag on relative performance in the first quarter
of 2000, when the technology sector was strong, and was beneficial to relative
results in the second quarter, as many technology stocks were weak. The Fund's
lack of exposure to another weak performing sector, telecom services, was a
positive during the first half. On other fronts, energy holdings were a major
positive contributor to the Fund's first half results, while returns for
industrial commodities, retail and consumer durables stocks in the Fund were
mostly negative.

Investment Approach & Strategy

As shareholders and readers of our past letters know, Dodge & Cox relies on
fundamental research, coupled with a price discipline, to select investments
for the Fund. Our long-term investment horizon is also key, as we look for
companies with durable business franchises and growing earnings over time. We
like to invest when we believe a company has a good potential of reporting
profits higher than the consensus expectations over a three to four-year time
frame.

In terms of the current popular label, our investments primarily reside in the
"Old Economy." Of course, there is actually only one economy. Furthermore, we
believe other investors may be overlooking the fact that many "Old Economy"
companies are actively implementing new technology tools to benefit their basic
businesses. For example, the five leading companies supplying internet banking
services (measured by online customer accounts) are not new entrants, but
traditional banks. One of the Fund's investments, Wells Fargo, has long been
recognized as a technological leader in the banking industry, dating back to
its early use of ATMs. Wells Fargo's efforts in online banking should improve
customer service and future profitability. We also believe that the company's
capable management team will continue to successfully guide Wells Fargo in a
rapidly evolving market environment. We use Wells Fargo (and later, Dow
Chemical) to illustrate our investment approach, not because we believe they
are more attractive than the Fund's other holdings.

As valuations have declined in the finance sector this year, we have added
several new stocks to the Fund's portfolio, including Wachovia, a regional
bank, and MBIA, a specialty insurer of fixed-income securities. Both of these
companies trade at less than twelve times their estimated 2000 earnings.

Finding Unconventional Growth

Because we have steered away from the high-valuation, "growth" areas of the
market such as technology, telecom and pharmaceutical/biotech sectors, does
that mean there is little growth to be had from the low-valuation companies? We
don't think so. We are confident that the 83 companies held in the Fund have
strong prospects, offering the opportunity for long-term earnings growth. One
example would be Dow Chemical. As the result of cost cutting and asset
restructuring--through divestitures as well as acquisitions, such as the one
pending for Union Carbide--we believe that Dow is creating a less cyclical
chemicals business. Dow's management believes that sales can almost double over
the next decade, while profits have the potential to grow faster. Macroeconomic
factors should also help Dow. Earnings for energy and other industrial
commodities producers have been improving, following the Asian economic turmoil
in 1997-98. Significant industry consolidation in the past few years and an
improving outlook for global demand contributes to our positive view. In a
still difficult commodity price environment, we believe Dow's stock is
attractively valued at about 12 times estimated year 2000 earnings.

Reinforcing our view of investment value in the industrial commodities and
energy sectors, one of our paper industry holdings, Champion International, was
acquired by International Paper at a favorable price during the second quarter.
Another holding in the Fund, Union Pacific Resources, agreed to be acquired at
a substantial premium by Anadarko Petroleum. During the first half of the year,
we established new positions in two new industrial companies: Air Products &
Chemicals and Engelhard.

Low Valuations in the Fund

Ironically, although we remain cautious about the general outlook for the broad
equity market, we believe we are uncovering many attractive investment
opportunities. In our opinion, the market has priced the "New Economy"
companies at overly optimistic valuations, while at the same time overlooked
many profitable and growing companies simply because they reside in the so-
called "Old Economy." We believe that the substantial divergence in valuations
between these two areas of the market will ultimately prove to be an excellent
opportunity for value-oriented investors like Dodge & Cox. For instance, the
average price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of the Fund's holdings is now about 12
times estimated year 2000 earnings (close to the lowest it has been in a
decade), compared to 24 times for the S&P 500.

As always, we welcome your thoughts and questions, and appreciate your
confidence in our firm as a shareholder of the Dodge & Cox Stock Fund.

Objective The Fund seeks long-term growth of principal and income. A secondary
          objective is to achieve a reasonable current income.

Strategy  The Fund invests primarily in a broadly diversified and carefully
          selected portfolio of common stocks. In selecting investments, the
          Fund invests in companies that, in Dodge & Cox's opinion, appear to
          be temporarily undervalued by the stock market but have a favorable
          outlook for long-term growth. The Fund focuses on the underlying
          financial condition and prospects of individual companies, including
          future earnings, cash flow and dividends. Companies are also
          selected with an emphasis on financial strength and sound economic
          condition.

The chart covers the period from July 1, 1990 to June 30, 2000. It compares a
$10,000 investment made in the Dodge & Cox Stock Fund to a $10,000 investment
made in the S&P 500. The S&P 500 is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of
common stock prices. The Fund's total returns include the reinvestment of
dividend and capital gain distributions. Index returns include dividends and,
unlike Fund returns, do not reflect fees and expenses. Past performance does
not guarantee future results. Investment return and share price will fluctuate
with market conditions, and investors may have a gain or a loss when shares
are sold.

            Notes to Financial Statements
            -------------------------------------------------------------------

       1    Dodge & Cox Stock Fund (the "Fund") is a separate series of Dodge
            & Cox Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is organized as a Delaware
            business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act
            of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management
            investment company. The Fund consistently follows accounting
            policies which are in conformity with generally accepted
            accounting principles. Significant accounting policies are as
            follows: (a) Security valuation: stocks are valued at the latest
            quoted sales prices as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange
            or, if no sale, then a representative price within the limits of
            the bid and ask prices for the day; a security which is listed or
            traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the
            exchange determined to be the primary market for such security;
            securities for which market quotations are not readily available
            are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or at the
            direction of the Board of Trustees; short-term securities are
            valued at amortized cost which approximates current value; all
            securities held by the Fund are denominated in U.S. Dollars.
            (b) Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date in
            the financial statements. (c) Gains and losses on securities sold
            are determined on the basis of identified cost. (d) Dividend and
            interest income are recorded on the accrual basis. (e)
            Distributions to shareholders of income and capital gains are
            reflected in the net asset value per share computation on the ex-
            dividend date. (f) No provision for Federal income taxes has been
            included in the accompanying financial statements since the Fund
            intends to distribute all of its taxable income and otherwise
            continue to comply with requirements for regulated investment
            companies.

            The preparation of financial statements 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.

       2    Under a written agreement, the Fund pays an annual management fee
            of 1/2 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net asset value to Dodge
            & Cox, investment manager of the Fund. The agreement further pro-
            vides that Dodge & Cox shall waive its fee to the extent that such
            fee plus all other expenses of the Fund exceed 3/4 of 1% of the
            average daily net asset value for the year. All officers and six
            of the trustees of the Trust are officers and employees of Dodge &
            Cox. Those trustees who are not affiliated with Dodge & Cox re-
            ceive from the Trust an annual fee plus an attendance fee for each
            Board or Committee meeting attended. Payments to trustees are di-
            vided equally among each series of the Trust. The Trust does not
            pay any other remuneration to its officers or trustees.

       3    For the six months ended June 30, 2000, purchases and sales of
            securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated
            $841,740,495 and $794,616,638, respectively. At June 30, 2000, the
            cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes was equal to
            the cost for financial reporting purposes. Net unrealized
            appreciation aggregated $424,837,514, of which $868,249,976
            represented appreciated securities and $443,412,462 represented
            depreciated securities.

     The financial information has been taken from the records of the Fund
     and has not been audited by our independent accountants who do not ex-
     press an opinion thereon. The financial statements of the Fund will be
     subject to audit by our independent accountants as of the close of the
     calendar year.

To Our Shareholders
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund had a total return of -1.1% during the second
quarter of 2000 and +0.1% for the first six months of the year. These results
compare to -0.9% and +1.5% for the Combined Index/1/ for the same time periods.
Longer-term results for the Fund appear on page three of this report. At the
end of the second quarter, the Fund's $4.7 billion in assets were invested
61.5% in stocks, 36.8% in fixed-income securities and 1.7% in cash equivalents.

Equity Portfolio Performance Review

The U.S. equity markets remained volatile during the first half of 2000, with
an investment "tug of war" going on between the so-called "Old Economy"
companies (established producers of goods and services) and "New Economy"
companies (largely technology and internet firms). As the valuation gap between
these two segments of the market remains historically wide, we continue to
believe the most attractive investment prospects are in the "Old Economy," low-
valuation segment.

Returns of the S&P 500 are now largely determined by the performance of stocks
in the technology sector, since these stocks represent about 30% of the market
value of all companies in the Index. The Balanced Fund is positioned quite
differently, holding 8% of its equity portfolio in technology companies.
Consequently, this differential is important in explaining the variance between
the equity portfolio's returns and the Index's returns in a given period. The
portfolio's lower weighting in technology was a drag on relative performance in
the first quarter of 2000, when the technology sector was strong, and was
beneficial to relative results in the second quarter, as many technology stocks
were weak. The portfolio's lack of exposure to another weak performing sector,
telecom services, was a positive during the first half. On other fronts, energy
holdings were a major positive contributor to the equity portfolio's first half
results, while returns for industrial commodities, retail and consumer durables
stocks in the portfolio were mostly negative.

Equity Investment Approach & Strategy

As shareholders and readers of our past letters know, Dodge & Cox relies on
fundamental research, coupled with a price discipline, to select investments
for the Fund. Our long-term investment horizon is also key, as we look for
companies with durable business franchises and growing earnings over time. We
like to invest when we believe a company has a good potential of reporting
profits higher than the consensus expectations over a three to four-year time
frame.

In terms of the current popular label, our investments primarily reside in the
"Old Economy." Of course, there is actually only one economy. Furthermore, we
believe other investors may be overlooking the fact that many "Old Economy"
companies are actively implementing new technology tools to benefit their basic
businesses. For example, the five leading companies supplying internet banking
services (measured by online customer accounts) are not new entrants, but
traditional banks. One of the Fund's investments, Wells Fargo, has long been
recognized as a technological leader in the banking industry, dating back to
the early use of ATMs. Wells Fargo's efforts in online banking should improve
customer service and future profitability. We also believe that the company's
capable management team will continue to successfully guide Wells Fargo in a
rapidly evolving market environment. We use Wells Fargo (and later, Dow
Chemical) to illustrate our investment approach, not because we believe they
are more attractive than the Fund's other holdings.

Finding Unconventional Growth

Because we have steered away from the high-valuation, "growth" areas of the
market such as technology, telecom and pharmaceutical/biotech sectors, does
that mean there is little growth to be had from the low-valuation companies? We
don't think so. We are confident that the 83 companies held in the equity
portfolio have strong prospects, offering the opportunity for long-term
earnings growth. One example would be Dow Chemical. As the result of cost
cutting and asset restructuring--through divestitures as well as acquisitions,
such as the one pending for Union Carbide--we believe that Dow is creating a
less cyclical chemicals business. Dow's management believes that sales can
almost double over the next decade, while profits have the potential to grow
faster. Macroeconomic factors should also help Dow. Earnings for energy and
other industrial commodities producers have been improving, following the Asian
economic turmoil in 1997-98. Significant industry consolidation in the past few
years and an improving outlook for global demand contributes to our positive
view. In a still difficult commodity price environment, we believe Dow's stock
is attractively valued at about 12 times estimated year 2000 earnings.

Low Valuations in the Fund

Ironically, although we remain cautious about the general outlook for the broad
equity market, we believe we are uncovering many attractive investment
opportunities. In our opinion, the market has priced the "New Economy"
companies at overly optimistic valuations, while at the same time overlooked
many profitable and growing companies simply because they reside in the so-
called "Old Economy." We believe that the substantial divergence in valuations
between these two areas of the market will ultimately prove to be an excellent
opportunity for value-oriented investors like Dodge & Cox. For instance, the
average price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of the Fund's holdings is now about 12
times estimated year 2000 earnings (close to the lowest it has been in a
decade), compared to 24 times for the S&P 500.

Fixed-Income Portfolio

Despite intra-period volatility, U.S. Treasury yield changes were fairly small
over the course of the second quarter. Most U.S. Treasury rates fell slightly,
with the exception of the very longest Treasury rates, which rose slightly.
Higher long rates led to price declines on the fixed-income portfolio's longer-
duration securities. (Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity to
changes in interest rates.) This meant that the fixed-income portfolio's earned
income was partially offset by the negative price performance of these
securities.

The first half of the quarter was marked by rising Treasury yields; strong
economic news and an active Federal Reserve held sway over the market. As
expected, the Federal Open Market Committee raised the targeted Fed Funds rate
to 6.50% on May 16; the Fed has now raised its target rate for Federal Funds by
175 basis points (one basis point equals 1/100th of one percent) since the
second quarter of 1999. Sentiment shifted quickly in the second half of the
quarter as economic reports, including the May employment report, hinted at a
slower-growing domestic economy. Treasury yields fell as the market began to
anticipate a more manageable, less inflationary economic growth rate.

The fixed-income portfolio's performance relative to the LBAG was positively
affected by its higher-than-market yield and lower-than-market duration. We
continue to maintain the portfolio's duration slightly shorter than that of the
benchmark because of our ongoing concerns about future inflation. The
portfolio's overweight position in the corporate sector detracted from relative
performance due to wider yield premiums. In many cases, corporate yield
premiums are at the highest levels seen in 20 years. The portfolio's emphasis
on longer-duration corporate securities exacerbated this relative
underperformance.

We remain convinced that a relatively high-yielding portfolio featuring
investment-grade corporate and mortgage-related securities is essential to our
goal of seeking above-average relative performance over the long term. We
believe that our focus on research and security selection is particularly
appropriate in the current environment. We therefore continue our strategy of
emphasizing those issuers and sectors whose long-term total return potential,
in our view, is underestimated by the market. Over longer-time periods, the
higher yield from the fixed-income portfolio's non-U.S. Treasury securities
offers the opportunity for higher total returns, through a combination of
higher income and better relative price performance.

In Closing,

Given the wide valuation gaps present today within the equity market and the
high yield premiums available in the corporate sector of the fixed-income
market, we believe that there are significant opportunities for value-oriented
investors. Furthermore, with continued volatility in equity prices, we believe
the use of fixed-income securities to provide relative stability makes a long-
term, balanced investment program compelling. As always, we welcome your
thoughts and questions, and appreciate your confidence in our firm as a
shareholder of the Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund.

                                 Balanced Fund

Objective The Fund seeks regular income, conservation of principal and an
          opportunity for long-term growth of principal and income.

Strategy  The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks,
          preferred stocks and fixed-income securities.

          Stocks: The Fund invests in well-established companies that, in
          Dodge & Cox's opinion, appear to be temporarily undervalued by the
          stock market but have a favorable outlook for long-term growth. The
          Fund focuses on the underlying financial condition and prospects of
          individual companies. The Fund will hold no more than 75% of its
          total assets in stocks.

          Fixed-Income Securities: Dodge & Cox constructs a diversified
          portfolio of high-quality fixed-income securities, while striving to
          maintain the fixed-income yield higher than that of the broad bond
          market. Fixed-income investments include investment-grade: U.S.
          government obligations, mortgage and asset-backed securities,
          corporate bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and
          others.

The chart covers the period from July 1, 1990 to June 30, 2000. It compares a
$10,000 investment made in the Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund to $10,000 investments
made in the S&P 500, the LBAG and the Combined Index. The S&P 500 and LBAG are
widely recognized, unmanaged indices of common stock and U.S. dollar-denominat-
ed, investment-grade fixed-income securities, respectively. The Combined Index
reflects an unmanaged portfolio of 60% of the S&P 500 and 40% of the LBAG. The
Fund may, however, invest up to 75% of its total assets in stocks. The Fund's
total returns include the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distribu-
tions. Index returns include dividends and/or interest income, and unlike Fund
returns, do not reflect fees or expenses. Past performance does not guarantee
future results. Investment return and share price will fluctuate with market
conditions, and investors may have a gain or loss when shares are sold.

             Notes to Financial Statements
             ------------------------------------------------------------------

       1     Dodge & Cox Balanced Fund (the "Fund") is a separate series of
             Dodge & Cox Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is organized as a Dela-
             ware business trust and is registered under the Investment Company
             Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management in-
             vestment company. The Fund consistently follows accounting poli-
             cies which are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
             principles. Significant accounting policies are as follows: (a)
             Security valuation: stocks are valued at the latest quoted sales
             prices as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange or, if no
             sale, then a representative price within the limits of the bid and
             ask prices for the day; a security which is listed or traded on
             more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange
             determined to be the primary market for such security; long-term
             debt securities are priced on the basis of valuations furnished by
             pricing services which utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and
             electronic data processing techniques; securities for which market
             quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as
             determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board of
             Trustees; short-term securities are valued at amortized cost which
             approximates current value; all securities held by the Fund are
             denominated in U.S. Dollars. (b) Security transactions are
             accounted for on the trade date in the financial statements. (c)
             Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
             identified cost. (d) Dividend and interest income are recorded on
             the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities pur-
             chased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest in-
             come over the lives of the respective securities. (e) Distribu-
             tions to shareholders of income and capital gains are reflected in
             the net asset value per share computation on the ex-dividend date.
             (f) No provision for Federal income taxes has been included in the
             accompanying financial statements since the Fund intends to dis-
             tribute all of its taxable income and otherwise continue to comply
             with requirements for regulated investment companies.

             The preparation of financial statements 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.

       2     Under a written agreement, the Fund pays an annual management fee
             of 1/2 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net asset value to Dodge
             & Cox, investment manager of the Fund. All officers and six of the
             trustees of the Trust are officers and employees of Dodge & Cox.
             Those trustees who are not affiliated with Dodge & Cox receive
             from the Trust an annual fee plus an attendance fee for each Board
             or Committee meeting attended. Payments to trustees are divided
             equally among each series of the Trust. The Trust does not pay any
             other remuneration to its officers or trustees.

       3     For the six months ended June 30, 2000, purchases and sales of
             securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated
             $727,884,455 and $1,039,503,324, respectively, of which U.S.
             government obligations aggregated $166,904,349 and $252,246,176,
             respectively. At June 30, 2000, the cost of investments for
             Federal income tax purposes was equal to the cost for financial
             reporting purposes. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated
             $213,563,238, of which $601,978,123 represented appreciated
             securities and $388,414,885 represented depreciated securities.

     The financial information has been taken from the records of the Fund
     and has not been audited by our independent accountants who do not
     express an opinion thereon. The financial statements of the Fund will
     be subject to audit by our independent accountants as of the close of
     the calendar year.

To Our Shareholders
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Dodge & Cox Income Fund had a total return of 1.3% for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 and 3.5% for the first half of 2000. These compared with total
returns of 1.7% and 4.0%, respectively, for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index (LBAG). Average annual total returns for longer periods are listed on
page three of this report. At the end of the second quarter the Fund's $924
million in assets were invested 98% in fixed-income securities and 2% in cash
equivalents.

Treasury Yields Stable Despite Strong Economic News and a "Restrictive" Federal
Reserve

Despite intra-period volatility, U.S. Treasury yield changes were fairly small
over the course of the second quarter. Most U.S. Treasury rates fell slightly,
with the exception of the very longest Treasury rates, which rose slightly.
Higher long rates led to price declines on the Fund's longer-duration
securities. (Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity to changes in
interest rates.) This meant that the Fund's earned income was partially offset
by the negative price performance of these securities.

The first half of the quarter was marked by rising Treasury yields; strong
economic news and an active Federal Reserve held sway over the market. As
expected, the Federal Open Market Committee raised the targeted Fed Funds rate
to 6.50% on May 16; the Fed has now raised its target rate for Federal Funds by
175 basis points (one basis point equals 1/100th of one percent) since the
second quarter of 1999. Sentiment shifted quickly in the second half of the
quarter as economic reports, including the May employment report, hinted at a
slower-growing domestic economy. Treasury yields fell as the market began to
anticipate a more manageable, less inflationary economic growth rate.

The Fund's performance relative to that of the LBAG was positively affected by
its higher-than-market yield and lower-than-market duration. We continue to
maintain the Fund's duration slightly shorter than that of the benchmark
because of our ongoing concerns about future inflation. The Fund's overweight
position in the corporate sector detracted from relative performance due to
wider yield premiums. In many cases, corporate yield premiums, especially those
in the finance and Yankee (U.S. dollar-denominated securities from foreign
issuers) sectors, are at the highest levels seen in 20 years. The Fund's
emphasis on longer-duration corporate securities exacerbated this relative
underperformance.

Corporate Yield Premiums Revisit Historical Wide Levels

Despite ongoing strength in the domestic economy, corporate yield premiums have
reached the wide levels of the 1990-91 recession and the fall of 1998 "flight
to quality." The current yield premiums of corporate bonds are significantly
wider than "required" as compensation for historical default and recovery rates
for the period of 1970-1999*. While the level of yield premiums can be
partially attributed to market volatility and a current preference for more
liquid securities, we believe they are larger than warranted given the
underlying credit fundamentals. This creates an opportunity for investors like
Dodge & Cox who have a long-term investment horizon and the capability to
conduct thorough fundamental, individual security research. In response to this
opportunity, we targeted a higher corporate allocation and purchased the
following issues during the quarter:

 . A 1.0% position of ten-year St. Paul Companies notes at a yield premium of
  225 basis points; this is equivalent to a yield to maturity of 8.9%. This
  A1/A+ rated insurer is the country's fourth largest commercial property-
  liability underwriter.

                                  Income Fund

 . A 1.0% position of Phillips Petroleum 10-year notes, rated Baa2/BBB with a
  yield to maturity of 8.8%. Founded in Bartlesville, Oklahoma in 1917, this
  integrated petroleum company had $15 billion in assets at year-end 1999 and
  $14 billion of revenues for the year.

 . A 1.0% position of twenty-year debentures issued by Dillard's Inc., at yield
  premiums of 514 (11.1% yield to maturity) and 458 basis points (10.6% yield
  to maturity), respectively, to comparable U.S. Treasuries. As the country's
  third largest department store chain with 1999 revenues of $8.7 billion,
  Dillard's carries a senior rating of Baa1/BBB.

 . Finally, we added to the portfolio's current holdings in asset-backed
  securities, specifically Rate Reduction bonds issued through a special
  purpose trust created by PG&E.

In total, we increased the Fund's corporate allocation, including Yankees and
asset-backed securities, from 41% at the beginning of the quarter to 44% by
quarter-end.

Looking Ahead: Selective Additions and Inflation Concerns

As we indicated above, the Fund's overweight position in the corporate sector
contributed to the Fund's underperformance this year. Nevertheless, we remain
convinced that a relatively high-yielding portfolio featuring investment-grade
corporate and mortgage-related securities is essential to our goal of seeking
above-average relative performance over the long term. We believe that our
focus on research and security selection is particularly appropriate in the
current environment. We therefore continue our strategy of emphasizing those
issuers and sectors whose long-term total return potential, in our view, is
underestimated by the market. Over longer time periods, the higher yield from
the Fund's non-U.S. Treasury securities offers the opportunity for higher total
returns, through a combination of higher income and better relative price
performance.

In response to our concern that inflation will continue to rise in 2000 due to
the tight U.S. labor markets, the pace of global economic growth, higher import
prices, the strong housing market and the level of oil prices, we continue to
position the portfolio "defensively" by maintaining the portfolio's effective
duration slightly shorter than that of the LBAG. In addition, the Fund holds a
6.8% position in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). These
securities offer an attractive real (inflation-adjusted) yield of 3.9 to 4.0%
and offer inflation protection through an adjustment to the principal value
based on changes in the consumer price index (CPI). This feature has proven
beneficial as year-over-year CPI rose by 3.7% as of June 30.

As always, we welcome your thoughts and questions, and appreciate your
confidence in our firm as a shareholder of the Dodge & Cox Income Fund.

For the Board of Trustees,

                                  Income Fund

Objective The Fund seeks a high and stable rate of current income, consistent
          with long-term preservation of capital. A secondary objective is to
          take advantage of opportunities to realize capital appreciation.

Strategy  The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of
          high-quality bonds and other fixed-income securities, including U.S.
          government obligations, mortgage and asset-backed securities,
          corporate bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and
          others rated A or better by either S&P or Moody's.

          The proportions held in the various fixed-income securities will be
          revised in light of Dodge & Cox's appraisal of the economy, the
          relative yields of securities in the various market sectors, the
          investment prospects for issuers and other factors. In selecting
          securities, Dodge & Cox will consider many factors, including yield
          to maturity, quality, liquidity, current yield and capital
          appreciation potential.

$10,000 investment made in the Dodge & Cox Income Fund to a $10,000 investment
made in the LBAG. The LBAG is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of U.S. dol-
lar-denominated investment grade fixed-income securities. The Fund's total re-
turns include the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions. In-
dex returns include interest income and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect
fees or expenses. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Invest-
ment return and share price will fluctuate with market conditions, and invest-
ors may have a gain or loss when shares are sold.

             Notes to Financial Statements
             -------------------------------------------------------------------

       1     Dodge & Cox Income Fund (the "Fund") is a separate series of
             Dodge & Cox Funds (the "Trust"). The Trust is organized as a
             Delaware business trust and is registered under the Investment
             Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end
             management investment company. The Fund consistently follows
             accounting policies which are in conformity with generally
             accepted accounting principles. Significant accounting policies
             are as follows: (a) Security valuation: long-term debt securities
             are priced on the basis of valuations furnished by pricing
             services which utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and
             electronic data processing techniques; securities for which
             market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair
             value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the
             Board of Trustees; short-term securities are valued at amortized
             cost which approximates current value; all securities held by the
             Fund are denominated in U.S. Dollars. (b) Security transactions
             are accounted for on the trade date in the financial statements.
             (c) Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the
             basis of identified cost. (d) Interest income is recorded on the
             accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities
             purchased are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest
             income over the lives of the respective securities.
             (e) Distributions to shareholders of income and capital gains are
             reflected in the net asset value per share computation on the ex-
             dividend date. (f) No provision for Federal income taxes has been
             included in the accompanying financial statements since the Fund
             intends to distribute all ofits taxable income and otherwise
             continue to comply with requirements for regulatedinvestment
             companies.

             The preparation of financial statements requires management to
             make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
             of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial state-
             ments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

       2     Under a written agreement, the Fund pays an annual management fee
             of 5/10 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net asset value up to
             $100 million and 4/10 of 1% of the Fund's average daily net asset
             value in excess of $100 million to Dodge & Cox, investment man-
             ager of the Fund. The agreement further provides that Dodge & Cox
             shall waive its fee to the extent that such fee plus all other
             ordinary operating expenses of the Fund exceed 1% of the average
             daily net asset value for the year. All officers and six of the
             trustees of the Trust are officers and employees ofDodge & Cox.
             Those trustees who are not affiliated with Dodge & Cox receive
             from the Trust an annual fee plus an attendance fee for each
             Board or Committee meeting attended. Payments to trustees are di-
             vided equally among each series of the Trust. The Trust does not
             pay any other remuneration to its officers or trustees.

       3     For the six months ended June 30, 2000, purchases and sales of
             securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated
             $182,788,581 and $222,580,169, respectively, of which U.S. gov-
             ernment obligations aggregated $96,573,927 and $153,008,876 re-
             spectively. At June 30, 2000, the cost of investments for Federal
             income tax purposes was equal to the cost for financial reporting
             purposes. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated $29,435,234, of
             which $3,515,480 represented appreciated securities and
             $32,950,714 represented depreciated securities.

     The financial information has been taken from the records of the Fund
     and has not been audited by our independent accountants who do not ex-
     press an opinion thereon. The financial statements of the Fund will be
     subject to audit by our independent accountants as of the close of the
     calendar year.
