Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund's performance in recent weeks has been
especially gratifying in view of the difficulty many "momentum investors" have
had in the IPO and high tech arenas. A number of "air pockets" have opened up,
and the downdrafts have been quite turbulent. While we have not benefited from
the speculative excesses that have been built, we also do not expect to be
harmed by the unwinding of many of these same elevated valuations.
 
Our perspective continues to be what you would logically expect from a large,
committed and disciplined owner-operator. Before investing your capital and
ours, we want the odds greatly stacked in our favor. The businesses we seek to
own must be thoroughly understood; we must believe our appraisals are soundly
based; and, the purchase prices must be significantly discounted from our
appraisals to give us the concomitant margins of safety we require. In addition
to the proper relationship between price and value, we want to own above
average, competitively entrenched businesses managed by vested, capable and
trustworthy individuals. As you will read further in the report, we have added
six new holdings since the beginning of the year. We believe strongly that each
qualifies on the aforementioned requirements.

Our largest portfolio position, White River Corporation, contributed importantly
to second quarter returns rising from $37 1/4 per share on March 31, 1996 to
$46 7/8 at the end of the second quarter. Subsequently, the price has
appreciated to the mid $50's reflecting Wall Street's approval of the company's
plan to take public InfoVest, a majority owned subsidiary. While this price
appreciation is noteworthy, our appraisals of both White River and most other
holdings are materially and demonstrably higher than their current prices.
 
We extend our best regards to each of our partners. We also hope you have a
wonderful summer with your families.
 
Sincerely,

 
/s/ O. Mason Hawkins                      /s/ G. Staley Cates

     LONGLEAF PARTNERS SMALL-CAP FUND
     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund (the "Fund") is a series of Longleaf Partners
Funds Trust, a Massachusetts business trust which is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end management
investment company. The Fund was formed on December 21, 1988, and on December
28, 1988 the initial capitalization of $1,500,000 was provided by two principals
of Southeastern Asset Management, Inc., the Investment Counsel, who received
150,000 shares of beneficial interest in return. The Fund commenced its public
offering of shares on February 21, 1989.
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
 
  (a) Valuation of Securities and Repurchase Agreements:
 
     (1) Portfolio securities listed or traded on a securities exchange and
         over-the-counter securities traded on the NASDAQ national market are
         valued at the last sales price. If there are no transactions in the
         security that day, securities are valued at the midpoint between the
         closing bid and ask prices.
 
     (2) All other portfolio securities for which over-the-counter market
         quotations are readily available are valued at the midpoint between the
         closing bid and ask prices. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost
         which, combined with accrued interest, approximates market.
 
     (3) When market quotations are not readily available, portfolio securities
         are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under
         procedures established by and under the general supervision of the
         Fund's Trustees.
 
  (b) Accounting for Investments:
 
      The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on
      the day following the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is
      executed). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are
      determined using the specific identification method. Dividend income is
      recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an
      accrual basis.
 
  (c) Federal Income Taxes:
 
      The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal
      Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to
      distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no
      federal income tax provision is required. In addition, the Fund intends to
      make any required distributions to avoid the application of a 4%
      nondeductible excise tax.
 
  (d) Distributions to Shareholders:
 
      Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
      ex-dividend date.

NOTE 2. INVESTMENT COUNSEL AGREEMENT
 
Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. ("Southeastern") serves as Investment
Counsel to the Fund and receives annual compensation from the Fund, computed
daily and paid monthly, in accordance with the following schedule:
 
<TABLE>
          <S>                                                                  <C>
          First $400 million of average daily net assets.....................  1.00%
          In excess of $400 million..........................................   .75%
</TABLE>
 
The Investment Counsel has agreed to reduce its fees on a pro rata basis for
services rendered to the extent that the Fund's normal annual operating expenses
(excluding taxes, interest, brokerage fees, and extraordinary expenses) exceed
1.5% of average annual net assets. No such reduction was necessary for the
current period.
 
NOTE 3. FUND ADMINISTRATOR
 
Southeastern also serves as the Fund Administrator and in this capacity is
responsible for managing, performing or supervising the administrative and
business operations of the Fund, including, among other things, the preparation
of all registration statements, prospectuses, tax returns and proxy statements,
daily valuation of the Fund's portfolio and calculation of daily net asset value
per share. The Fund pays a fee as compensation for these services, accrued daily
and paid monthly, of 0.10% per annum of average daily net assets.
 
Reimbursable administration expenses paid by the Fund to Southeastern consist of
a portion of both the computer support charges for computer programs used in
processing transactions for the Fund and its shareholders and of the salary of
the Fund's Treasurer calculated in accordance with Trustee review and approval.
