NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PC&J Performance Fund (the 'Fund') commenced operations on December 23, 1983,
as a 'no-load, open-end, diversified' investment company. It is organized as
an Ohio business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940. The investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital
through investment in common stocks. Current income is of secondary
importance.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates or assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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.
(1) Security Valuations - Investments in securities traded on a national
securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price;
securities traded on the over-the-counter market are valued at the
average of the closing bid and ask prices.
(2) Federal Income Taxes - The Fund has elected to be treated as a regulated
investment company and intends to comply with the requirements under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its
net investment income and realized gains on security transactions.
Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the
accompanying financial statements.
(3) Other - Security transactions are accounted for on the date the
securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses
on sales are determined using the first-in first-out method. Dividends
to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains
are declared and paid annually. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-
dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Net investment losses,
for tax purposes, are reclassified to paid in capital.
B. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
The Fund has an investment advisory agreement with Parker Carlson & Johnson,
Inc. (the 'Advisor'), wherein the Fund pays the Advisor a monthly advisory
fee, accrued daily, based on an annual rate of one percent of the daily
net assets of the Fund. Investment advisory fees were $265,413 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999.
The Fund has a management agreement with PC&J Service Corp., (the 'Service
Corp.') which is wholly owned by the shareholders of the Advisor. The Fund
pays Service Corp. for the overall management of the Fund's business affairs,
exclusive of the services provided by the Advisor, and functions as the
Fund's transfer and dividend disbursing agent. Service Corp. pays all
expenses of the Fund (with certain exclusions) and is entitled to a monthly
fee, accrued daily, based on an annual rate of one-half of one percent of the
daily net assets of the Fund. Management fees were $132,706 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999.
The Fund's shareholders have adopted a Distribution Expense Plan ('Plan')
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. This Plan
authorizes payments under the investment advisory agreement and management
agreement described above which might be deemed to be expenses primarily
intended to result in the sale of Fund shares. No other payments are
authorized under the Plan.
Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are officers and directors, or
both, of the Advisor and of Service Corp.
