PC&J PERFORMANCE FUND


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000




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 of1940. 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 stimates 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 sale price as of the close of New York trading on the day the securities are being valued; securities traded on the over-the-counter market are valued at either the mean between the bid and ask prices or the last sale price as one or the other may be quoted by the NASDAQ System as of the close of New York trading on the day the securities are being valued; securities and other assets for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees of the Fund.

  (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 net 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 specific ot 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 $312,598 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
 
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 $156,299 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Concluded)
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000



B. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT(Continued)
 
The Fund's shareholders have adopted a Distribution Expense Plan (the "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.
