                                THE FAIRMONT FUND

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

                                  JUNE 30, 1999
(1)  Organization

     The Fairmont Fund (The Fund) is a no-load, diversified series of The
Camelot Funds, formerly The Fairmont Fund Trust (The Trust), which is a Kentucky
Business Trust and an open-end investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund was established under a declaration of
trust dated December 29, 1980 and began offering its shares publicly on
September 2, 1981. The Fund's objective is capital appreciation which it seeks
to achieve by investing in equity securities that its Adviser believes are
undervalued.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a) Valuation of Investment Securities - Purchases and sales of securities
are recorded on a trade date basis. Portfolio securities which are traded on
stock exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets are valued at the last sale
price as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time on the day the securities are being valued
or, lacking any sales, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices.
Fixed income securities are valued by using market quotations, or independent
pricing services which use prices provided by market makers or estimates of
market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities
with similar characteristics. Securities and other assets for which market
quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in
good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees. Dividend income
is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis.

     (b) Gains and Losses on Investment Securities - Gains and losses from sales
of investments are calculated on the "identified cost" method. Upon disposition
of a portion of the investment in a particular security, it is The Fund's
general practice to first select for sale those securities which qualify for
long-term capital gain or loss treatment for tax purposes.

     (c) Repurchase Agreements - The Fund may acquire repurchase agreements from
banks or security dealers (the Seller) which the Board of Trustees and the
Adviser have determined creditworthy. The Seller of the repurchase agreement is
required to maintain the value of collateral at not less than the repurchase
price, including accrued interest. Securities pledged as collateral for
repurchase agreements are held by The Fund's custodian in the Federal
Reserve/Treasury book-entry system.

     (d) Capital Shares - The Fund records purchases of its capital shares at
the daily net asset value next determined after receipt of a shareholder's check
or wire and application in proper form. Redemptions are recorded at the net
asset value next determined following receipt of a shareholder's written request
in proper form.

     (e) Estimates and Assumptions - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires The Fund 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.

(3)  Investment Advisory Agreement, Commissions and Related Party Transactions

     The Investment Advisory Agreement (the Agreement) provides that The Sachs
Company (the Adviser) will pay all of The Trust's operating expenses, including
fees to disinterested trustees, but excluding brokerage fees and commissions,
taxes, interest and extraordinary expenses. The Adviser also pays The Fund's
officers' salaries. Under the terms of the Agreement, The Fund pays the Adviser
a fee at the rate of 2% of the first $10,000,000 of average daily net assets,
1-1/2% of the next $20,000,000, and 1% of the average daily net assets over
$30,000,000. The management fee is accrued daily and paid monthly. The Adviser
received management fees of $171,022 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

shareholder of the Adviser. The Adviser, as a registered broker-dealer of
securities, effected substantially all of the investment portfolio transactions

the six months ended June 30, 1999.

     Certain officers and/or Trustees of The Fund are officers of the Adviser.
