                                   (Unaudited)

                                  June 30, 2000

(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,  excluding
brokerage fees and  commissions,  taxes,  interest and  extraordinary  expenses.
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 $113,478 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

                                  June 30, 2000

     Morton  H.  Sachs,  a  trustee  of The  Fund,  is the  president  and  sole
shareholder  of the Adviser.  The  Adviser,  as a  registered  broker-dealer  of
securities,  effected substantially all of the investment portfolio transactions
for The Fund. For this service the Adviser received  commissions of $124,285 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000.

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

(4)  Distributions to Shareholders

       No distributions  to shareholders  were made in six months ended June 30,
2000.  The following is a summary of  distributions  for the year ended December
31, 1999.

  Date Declared     Paid In Cash     Reinvested     Total     Per Share Amount
December 31, 1999      $6,219         $135,040    $141,259        $0.23

(5)  Investments

For the six months ended June 30, 2000,  the cost of purchases and proceeds from
sales of investments,  other than temporary cash  investments,  were $29,014,137
and $32,759,021 respectively.

Following is information  regarding unrealized  appreciation  (depreciation) and
aggregate  cost of  securities  based upon  federal  income tax cost at June 30,
2000.  The  difference  between book cost and tax cost consists of wash sales in
the amount of $161,924.
                                                                       Tax Cost

(6)  Income Taxes

It is The Fund's  policy to comply with the special  provisions  of the Internal
Revenue  Code  available to  investment  companies  and, in the manner  provided
therein,  to  distribute  substantially  all  of  its  income  to  shareholders.
Therefore no tax provision is required.

 (7) There are no reportable  financial  instruments  which have any off-balance
sheet risk as of June 30, 2000.
