The Dichotomy - Equities are Expensive/Equities are Undervalued
As the Dow Jones Industrial Average dances around the 10000 level, there is a
pronounced dichotomy between the performance of the few large growth and
technology companies dominating the S&P 500, and everything else. The market
indices shown below reflect the large divergences:

The disparate performance between the fifty largest companies and the rest of
the market has pushed valuation levels of the two groups in opposite directions.
The opening quote in the first edition of Ben Graham's Security Analysis is
particularly fitting today:
 
"Many shall be restored that are now fallen, and many shall fall that now are in
honor."                                                    Horace - Ars Poetica.
 
Think, Don't Follow
The 17th century British philosopher and scholar John Locke wrote, "It is
thinking which makes us who we are." This is a time for all investors to think.
Too often in investing, thinking becomes subordinated to following - mindlessly
buying stocks solely because of other investors' prior success. Increased share
price begets additional market participants, and soon price levels rise to
exceed any reasonable valuation relative to earnings potential. Greed, not
thought, is driving the prices of the companies dominating today's market.
 
As our Scout leaders may have admonished, this market environment implores all
investors to be prepared. Be prepared for the current market leaders' almost
surreal valuations to decline dramatically, and for many currently ignored
equities to rise appreciably.

Foregone opportunities will not change your economic status, but lost capital
might. Longleaf requires new investments, as well as current holdings, to have
appraisals that materially exceed each company's stock price. In these heady
times, one should be as concerned for the return OF principal as for the return
ON principal, and not concerned at all with whether, in the short run, he or she
matches an overvalued index.
 
The margin of safety requirement guides our research effort. Although the
Partners Fund's price-to-value ratio remains attractive, we are having
difficulty finding new qualifying investments in the large cap world. Our other
three Funds - International, Realty, and Small-Cap - have compelling investment
opportunities. The price-to-value ratios of these three funds are at or near
their all-time lows; their implied returns from this level are significant. Your
management team and Southeastern's retirement plan have recently added
substantial capital to both the International and Realty Funds. Our partners
should consider doing the same.
 
Volatility - Friend of the Disciplined Investor
Volatility is the best friend of the long-term investor, and is terrifying for
the speculator with a short-term horizon or with leverage. As long-term owners
who know what our companies are worth, we benefit when market fear offers
undervalued investment opportunities. In buoyant times, we benefit by selling
businesses at prices equal to, or even higher than, our appraisal of their
intrinsic values.
 
The Partners Fund's two largest holdings, FDX (parent of Federal Express), and
Marriott International (ticker MAR), provide examples of volatility's rewards.
Last summer FDX plunged from the mid-$80's to the low $50's on short-term
concerns about Asia and the U.S. economy. This decline heavily impacted the
Partners Funds' third quarter performance, but did not change the company's
long-term value. We used the price weakness to invest another $84 million in FDX
at an average cost of under $53. Today the market values those shares at $164
million. After almost reaching $40 per share, MAR dove into the low $20's in
September while our appraisal was unaffected. We purchased an additional $94
million worth of MAR at an average cost of under $23 per share. Today that
commitment is selling for $146 million. Without the third quarter swoon, we
would have foregone $130 million of profit from adding to FDX and MAR. Not only
did the market value of our original stakes end up higher after the roller
coaster dip, but the volatility enabled us to make more money than if the plunge
and bounce back never had occurred.
 
All the Funds took advantage of the opportunities in the third quarter of 1998.
In the current buoyancy of the Partners Fund's universe, we have recently sold
stocks at excellent prices and temporarily have cash. The other three Funds are
continuing to take advantage of the price weakness in their respective arenas.
Volatility works both ways, and opportunities will continue to be offered on our
terms if we are patient. Our main message to our partners is this: instead of
focusing on performance during "down" periods, or on cash positions in "up"
periods, remember that price volatility constantly lays the groundwork for
HIGHER
 
                                        2

returns than we would receive if equity prices moved up in a straight line. The
key to taking advantage of volatility is knowing the intrinsic value of each
company we own and the ability of our management partners.
 
Year 2000 Update
Many of you have expressed interest in staying current on our Y2K compliance.
Our Annual Report summarized our overall effort. We will continue testing
internal systems. We are also monitoring our vendors who report being on track
for 2000 readiness. The readiness of the companies in our portfolios is also a
factor in our investment appraisals. We remain vigilant and will report our
status throughout the year.
 
Web Site and Other Technology Update
Thanks to many of you who responded to our question in the Annual Report
regarding a Longleaf Web Site. We appreciate the thought you gave not only to
whether a site would benefit you personally, but also how it would impact the
Funds. We are taking a deliberate approach. The site should be a useful and cost
effective communication tool. It should not compromise our focus on research and
portfolio management. We will keep you posted.
 
We are consolidating our phone lines into a single number. We currently have
separate toll free numbers for ordering fund materials, processing transactions,
and accessing the automated phone line. You can still reach these different
areas by dialing the same numbers you use now, but if you want to remember a
single number for all Longleaf interaction, use (800) 445-9469. This
consolidated system should take effect in mid-May.
 
Annual Meeting
We hope you will join us for our Annual Meeting. Last year we had over 400
participants. The meeting is Tuesday, May 4, 1999, at 5:30 p.m. at the Memphis
Botanic Garden, located at 750 Cherry Road. If you are coming from out of town
and need directions or other information, please call us at (901) 761-2474.
 
Please review the discussion on each Fund that follows. We have tried to
communicate our enthusiasm and conviction for the companies we own and for our
substantial return opportunity.
 
Sincerely,

                     PARTNERS FUND - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
                by Mason Hawkins, Staley Cates, and John Buford
 
The Partners Fund posted strong absolute and relative performance in the first
quarter - up 6.2% versus 5.0% for the S&P 500. In a period when most value
managers had difficulty, Longleaf Partners was fortunate to post solid returns.
 
The concentration of our assets into qualified companies with capable management
partners continued to drive the Fund's success. Appreciation in Seagram,
Philips, Marriott International, United Health Care, MediaOne, FDX, News Corp.,
and Hilton accounted for all of the first quarter's return. These eight
companies comprised over half of the Fund's assets at the beginning of the year.
 
We sold our large and successful MediaOne position when its price reached, and
rapidly surpassed, our appraisal. Our MediaOne experience is illustrative of
much that we seek:
- - a bright, capable, shareholder-oriented CEO in Chuck Lillis,
- - a competitively entrenched, good business with growing free cash flow, and
- - an entry price that reflected neither of the above qualities.
 
We established a double position (10% of assets) in late 1997 when MediaOne's
stock was in the high teens and low twenties. Less than two years later, the
price rose beyond our $56 appraisal.
 
We have begun liquidating several other holdings which have reached their
values. Proceeds have increased cash to 21% of assets, and at current price
levels, we have more to sell then we have to buy. Two companies currently
qualify as investments and our trading desk is working hard to purchase
meaningful stakes. We are challenged to find good, large cap businesses run by
management teams we want as partners, and priced with the requisite margin of
safety.
 
The irony is that the portfolio's composite price-to-value ratio is relatively
low, and the Fund offers a good return opportunity. While a few holdings are
approaching their values, several companies that we own are selling below 60% of
our appraisal. We are buying more of those shares where we can.
 
We do not know when the market will offer more investment opportunities, but we
will remain patient until we find qualifiers. If cash levels continue to rise,
we will consider closing the Fund again.

                   INTERNATIONAL FUND - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
              by Mason Hawkins, Staley Cates, and Andrew McDermott
 
Longleaf Partners International Fund gained 5.9% this quarter against a 1.0%
return for the EAFE Index. We are pleased with this performance and with the
continued growth of the Fund from $76 million in assets at year-end to $160
million today. We welcome our new partners.
 
International markets have continued to underperform most U.S. indices,
especially when adjusted for the impact of a strengthening U.S. dollar against
major world currencies. Our policy of hedging foreign currency exposure is
designed to insulate us from the vagaries of the foreign exchange market and
allows us to concentrate exclusively on company fundamentals.
 
In the first quarter, Japan was a notable exception to international
underperformance; the Nikkei rose nearly 2000 points, or about 15%. Most of our
Japanese holdings benefited from improved sentiment, and they contributed over
$3 million to the Fund's first quarter performance. Japanese restructuring
announcements increased foreign investors' confidence. We do not make macro
calls on market levels, and we have seen few examples of real restructuring in
our bottom-up analysis of Japanese companies, including the banks that have
attracted much attention. Our Japanese holdings will benefit for a different
reason -- tax reform.
 
Japan lowered corporate taxes by 15% and personal income taxes by 20%. These
changes help our Japanese investments in two ways. First, corporate values in
Japan basically increased by 15% because of the tax savings, thus making our
price-to-value ratios more attractive. Second, the lower tax rates should
significantly improve aggregate demand at our Japanese businesses.
 
The dramatic increase in oil prices augurs well for several of our Canadian
companies with significant oil and gas assets. During the quarter oil moved from
around $12 to almost $17 per barrel. If prices remain at these higher levels,
our investments should appreciate, as will our appraisals.
 
The U.K. market also turned in a strong first quarter performance, though the
FTSE's rise masks continued underperformance by small cap stocks. This two-
tiered market resembles that of the U.S. and has created a number of
opportunities for the Fund. We increased our existing positions in Wassall and
Highland as their prices declined. We also added two new UK positions: Bemrose,
a leading producer and distributor of corporate give-away items; and, Premier
Farnell, the world's largest maintenance and repair electronics distributor.
Premier Farnell quickly rose to our appraisal and we sold our stake.

              by Mason Hawkins, Staley Cates, and Andrew McDermott
 
In addition to Premier Farnell, we sold three other businesses because they
reached our appraisals. Shaw Communications benefited from renewed market
confidence in cable companies' ability to generate substantial cash flows from
selling multiple services over their cable networks. Haw Par and Swire Pacific
both bounced back quickly from their lows as investors realized the strength of
their dominant brands even in slower economic periods. We sold our stake in FDX
as we found foreign businesses which were even more undervalued and which had a
higher portion of their values overseas. We also sold Seagram which we purchased
when the Fund's assets were only $25 million. As assets grew, Seagram became a
smaller portion of the portfolio because its price had appreciated far above our
buying level. We sold Seagram when we found significantly undervalued companies
where we could own a meaningful stake. The combined appreciation of these
liquidated companies added $2 million to the Fund's first quarter performance.
 
Philips also contributed substantially to our first quarter results, adding $1.7
million to our return. Under the leadership of Cor Boonstra, this worldwide
manufacturer continues to build shareholder value by improving operations in its
successful businesses, eliminating unprofitable divisions, and wisely
reallocating capital. Since Philip's value has grown along with its stock price,
a material gap remains between the price and our appraisal.
 
We used proceeds from our sales as well as cash inflows to add to existing
holdings and to buy several new companies. In addition to the businesses
mentioned above, we bought De Beers, the South African diamond company, and
Wisconsin Central, a U.S. based company whose primary assets are overseas
railroads in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia.
 
We continue to identify exciting overseas opportunities for long-term
appreciation, and cash inflows are being invested. Our new partners should have
a minimum commitment to the Fund of five years and expect volatility. We will
focus on keeping the portfolio concentrated in our best ideas, and removing or
minimizing the risks of owning foreign businesses. We have substantially added
to our International Fund stake.

                      REALTY FUND - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
              by C.T. Fitzpatrick, Mason Hawkins, and Staley Cates
 
The general investing public's continuing disdain for real estate equities
negatively impacted our results in the first quarter of 1999. Longleaf Partners
Realty Fund's net asset value declined 7.5% in the quarter compared to a drop of
3.5% for the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index and of 5.9% for the NAREIT
Index. The Fund's long-term results compare favorably to the indices.
 
Spouses, in-laws, and friends have inquired about the recent performance of
Longleaf Partners Realty Fund. We offer these observations:
 
- - The Realty Fund's composite price-to-value ratio is at an historic low.
  Because the share prices of the companies owned by the Fund have declined
  while their business values have grown, the Fund has high implied future
  returns and less risk.
 
- - Insider buying of real estate stocks is higher than in any other industry
  group. Investors who understand the value of real estate companies' underlying
  properties are purchasing those businesses' shares.
 
- - We are adding aggressively to our stake in Longleaf Partners Realty Fund.
 
- - Other real estate mutual funds have been significant sellers of real estate
  companies' shares. Redemptions have shrunk many funds' assets by more than
  half, and have forced their fund managers to liquidate holdings. This
  nondiscretionary selling has exacerbated real estate share price declines and
  provided more attractive opportunities for investors such as Longleaf Partners
  Realty Fund.
 
- - Investors focused on prospective returns have sound, fundamental reasons to
  buy. Leveraged shareholders and traders focused on recent short-term returns
  have been responsible for much of the selling. These speculators never should
  have become owners.
 
- - Sellers have turned temporary paper losses into permanent capital losses, and
  have sacrificed a large return opportunity.
 
During the first quarter the Fund's portfolio had little change. We increased
our stakes in Forest City and Prime Group. Each company announced several
projects and results that increased our values; meanwhile, their stock prices
declined.
 
In the third quarter of 1998 we bought several very undervalued hotel operators.
Hilton, Promus, and Marriott International added over $10 million to the Realty
Fund's first quarter results as fears of oversupply subsided and investors began
to understand the value of fee streams derived from dominant hotel brands. This

gain was offset by the decline at Host Marriott, which hurt our results by $14
million. Virtually all of Host Marriott's properties are posting strong results.
Converting to a REIT caused the company to incur a number of expenses that will
penalize 1999 results, but we still expect Host Marriott's bottom line to
improve by 15%.
 
Two other holdings materially detracted from our results. Our largest position,
Excel Legacy, which specializes in development and re-development, made steady
progress moving projects forward. Wall Street penalized development companies in
general because of the tightened credit market. Beacon Capital Partners, a
private REIT with office and mixed use properties, announced an extremely
promising partnership with Apollo Real Estate Advisors, Thomas H. Lee Company,
and Rosen Consulting Group, to take a substantial ownership stake in Patriot
American on exceptionally advantageous terms, while simultaneously solving
Patriot's liquidity problems. Despite this materially positive development, the
stock traded below our cost.

                     SMALL-CAP FUND - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
                by Mason Hawkins, Staley Cates, and John Buford
 
Those who track relative returns should continue to be pleased with the Small-
Cap Fund's results. During the first quarter of 1999 the Fund again outperformed
the Russell 2000 Index. Small-Cap was down 2.8% while the Russell fell 5.4%. The
Fund's long-term relative returns are equally impressive.
 
As significant Small-Cap owners, however, we view absolute, after-tax, real
return as the only appropriate measure of compounding. Our long-term partners
have enjoyed successful results, but the recent quarter detracted from this
record. Of our largest holdings, Promus and Midas rose and positively impacted
the Fund. Price declines at Orion Capital, Perrigo, AMETEK, and U.S. Industries
were predominantly responsible for Small-Cap's negative first quarter return.
Lower stock prices did not impact our appraisals. Each company that declined,
consequently, has become more attractive and should materially contribute to the
Fund's future results.
 
Small-Cap's composition changed during the first quarter as we continued to
concentrate assets in our best domestic ideas. The Fund's holdings dropped from
35 to 32 companies, and foreign businesses represent 13% of assets versus 27% at
year-end. The most dramatic change to the portfolio was the sale of our largest
holding, Shaw Communications, which was 11.7% of assets at year-end. We began
buying Shaw, Canada's leading cable system operator, at $10/share in the fourth
quarter of 1997 when cable companies were generally out of favor. Shaw is
extremely well operated, dominates its markets, and has the highest margins in
the industry, a testament to the discipline, operating skills and vision of the
vested management team. Shaw's business is also growing rapidly due to Internet
access, telephony, and new programming tiers. We sold our position at our
appraisal of approximately $30/share. Shaw was the single largest contributor to
the Fund's first quarter return.
 
We also sold our stake in Pinkerton's, which rose quickly when it was purchased
by Securitas AB, a Swedish security company. Securitas paid $29/share versus our
appraisal of $30, and an average cost of $16.58/share. In addition, we
liquidated our holdings in Chiyoda, Dai-Tokyo, and Fuji, three Japanese non-life
insurance companies we bought in late 1997 when undervalued domestic small
companies were elusive. At year-end these three companies represented 1.6% of
the Fund's assets. We sold these Japanese businesses from Small-Cap because we
had equally undervalued U.S. opportunities where we could acquire a position
meaningful to the portfolio. Longleaf Partners International Fund's introduction
last Fall provides a vehicle for the foreign companies we want to own.

                     SMALL-CAP FUND - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
                by Mason Hawkins, Staley Cates, and John Buford
 
We used the proceeds from the above sales to add to a number of our most
undervalued businesses. Wisconsin Central newly appears in our top ten holdings.
This railroad company operates in the Midwest U.S. and owns monopoly rails in
the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia. The WCLX management team is the
company's largest shareholder, and has a proven history of successfully buying
and operating privatized railroad assets. The largest non-U.S. rail asset is the
U.K.-based EW&S line, which dominates freight transport in that country.
Bringing this business to acceptable service and profitability standards has
taken longer than anticipated by the market, hence the large discount to
appraised value. Because we accumulated our position as the price was falling,
our purchase of Wisconsin Central hurt the Fund's first quarter return.
 
We have numerous investment opportunities in the Small-Cap Fund, and the trading
desk has orders pending for the Fund's remaining cash. We are not interested in
growing the size of the Fund; it remains closed to new investors. Our existing
partners should know, however, that Small-Cap's very low price-to-value ratio
implies a compelling return.
