                             LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

To Our Shareholders:

Each of the four Longleaf Partners Funds posted strong net asset value gains
ranging between 6.8% and 10.1% in the second quarter. Additionally, the
Partners, International, and Small-Cap Funds significantly outperformed their
respective benchmarks as those indices declined in the period. A major shift in
market sentiment combined with substantial progress at many of our holdings
drove the quarter's positive results.

Sentiment Shift
On March 10th, speculation and the NASDAQ peaked. Since then market participants
have begun to demand customers, revenues, and operating cash flows that support
defendable intrinsic values over business plans without profits. Although
capital has flowed more rationally over the past three months and twenty days,
many pockets of pricing inefficiency remain. Our holdings have benefited from
this recent shift as the chart below shows.

                                     CHART

(Description of Chart. The chart is a horizontal composite line graph for each
of the four Longleaf Partners Funds and three market indices, the S&P 500,
Russell 2000, and the NASDAQ. The line graph for each Fund and index begins on
the left vertical axis at zero on March 3, 2000 and ends on the right vertical
axis at June 30, 2000, showing the percentage changes in the per share net asset
value of the four funds and the three indices bi weekly for the period. The
beginning and ending co-ordinates are separately stated on the chart, as
follows):

                             LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Progress at our holdings
During the second quarter we continued to see fundamental business progress at
most of the companies we own. Economic values built as management teams grew
their revenues, improved margins, and reinvested free cash flows wisely. Share
repurchases proceeded at an unprecedented pace. As our corporate partners have
spent $1 to buy $2 of business value, their companies' values-per-share have
materially increased.

We are actively exploring ways both to build values and to get corporate values
recognized with our management partners. Toward that end Southeastern has filed
a number of 13-D's which enable us to work more closely with management and talk
to potential acquirors. We submitted some of these because third party buyers
approached us about purchasing our stakes as part of their efforts to acquire
the companies. Several of our holdings are receiving bids for parts or all of
their businesses. During the quarter acquisition announcements by Unicredito
Italiano for Pioneer Group and by Phillip Morris for Nabisco caused PIOG and NA
to more than double from their first quarter lows. As others have begun to
recognize how discounted the prices of our holdings are, merger and acquisition
interest as well as liquidation plans have emerged as a means of getting paid.

Portfolio opportunity
The price-to-value ratio (P/V) calculates the stock price of a business versus
our appraisal of its value. We measure the composite P/V for each of the Funds
monthly and view this number as the best indicator of our future performance
potential, i.e. the lower the P/V, the higher our expected return. In early
March we saw P/V's UNDER 50% -- a first in the history of the Funds. If you
purchased shares of the Longleaf Funds in early March, you paid less than half
of what our appraisals indicated the portfolios were worth.

Because of the rebound since March previously discussed, P/V's have increased.
Each Fund, however, remains extremely cheap relative to its historic average.
All four Funds sell below 55% of our ascribed values, versus a long-term average
of 68%. These numbers are compelling and imply higher prospective returns than
our long-term results. We continue to add to our personal stakes in all four
Longleaf funds.

                             LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Shareholder meeting
We were delighted to see almost 400 partners at our meeting in May. For those
who were unable to attend, we have posted the audio and slides on our web site,
www.longleafpartners.com. The presentations and questions elaborate on many of
the points discussed above. We hope that the site gives our partners a better
feel for our approach and our views on the Funds.

Transfer Agent Change
In our governing principles we state that "we will continue our efforts to
enhance shareholder services." As part of that commitment we are moving the
Longleaf Partners Funds' transfer agent function from NFDS in Kansas City to
PFPC in Westborough, MA. The transfer agent records and reports all direct
account activity. In moving to PFPC we anticipate improved statements, internet
account access, a more experienced staff, and increased accountability.

Our phone numbers will stay the same, and aside from an improvement in service
and a new mailing address, the transfer agent change should be seamless. You
will receive a Welcome Kit including an updated Prospectus before the mid-August
conversion.

Distribution Information
Capital gains distributions are still five months away, and it is impossible to
project what our realized gains will be or how many fund shares will exist.
Because some shareholders have inquired, we will tell you what little we know.
The Partners, International, and Small-Cap Funds will have small "spillback"
distributions from gains booked in November and December of 1999. Current-year
realized gains in the Partners Fund are minimal at this point. The International
Fund has booked gains in 2000 of over $29 million, which could change
dramatically if losses offset the amount or more gains are realized. Both the
Realty Fund and Small-Cap Fund have no distributable gains to date and have net
losses available to offset over $20 million of additional capital gains in each
Fund.

These numbers are extremely fluid and should not be used to make any
projections. Our third quarter report will provide more information about both
the distribution date and amounts.

Conclusion
We appreciate the support that our partners have exhibited through the market's
volatility over the last year. We are pleased with the progress made recently in
our NAVs, and more importantly, with the results at most of our portfolio
companies.

Communicating with our partners is paramount. We hope you will review our
postings on the web site and send us your ideas of how the site can be more
beneficial. We have included copies of several recent articles about Longleaf in
this mailing. We also encourage you to read the Fund reports that follow.

Sincerely,

                by Mason Hawkins, Staley Cates, and John Buford

In the second quarter Longleaf Partners Fund rose 8.5% while the S&P 500 Index
and the equally weighted Value-Line Index declined 2.7% and 4.9%, respectively.
Several holdings meaningfully contributed to the Fund's return.

Waste Management, our largest position, posted solid first quarter results that
indicate Maury Myers and his new management team have stabilized the business.
The stock rose 39% in the second quarter. The company has reported both volume
and pricing increases and an improved working capital position. Non-strategic
asset sales are on target to raise $3 billion. The company received a favorable
settlement with the SEC, and a lead plaintiff has been chosen for shareholder
suits. We are delighted but not surprised by the progress. WMI remains deeply
undervalued relative to the free cash flow it currently generates. We anticipate
rapid value growth as Waste fully converts its computer systems and Myers
implements operational best practices throughout the company.

Our hotel companies also helped the Partners Fund's performance. Marriott was up
14% in the quarter, and Hilton rose 21%. REVPAR and occupancy numbers remained
strong, and new supply concerns moderated. The franchise and management fee
businesses are ahead of expectations for the year. At Hilton the owned
properties, primarily in central business district locations, have not been
seriously threatened by new supply, and the company is realizing synergies from
last year's Promus merger ahead of plan. Marriott and Hilton, as well as Host
Marriott, sell well below our appraisals, and Bill Marriott, Steve Bollenbach,
and Chris Nasetta are working diligently to build their corporate values.

Many of our management partners took action to capture their economic values.
Jack Cogan and the board of Pioneer Group negotiated the sale of the company to
Unicredito Italiano. The stock rose from its January low of $12.88 to over
$41.50, exceeded our appraisal, and we sold our position. Nabisco, where we had
acquired only a small stake, was auctioned for $55 per share to Phillip Morris.
Aetna is currently discussing selling its financial services business with
interested buyers. Peter Munk has sold TrizecHahn's Canadian properties and is
using $500 million of the proceeds to repurchase shares. Diageo has announced
plans to take a portion of Burger King public.

                     PARTNERS FUND - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
                by Mason Hawkins, Staley Cates, and John Buford

FedEx's share price remained flat in the quarter although the company's
international volume grew dramatically, worldwide yields improved, and customer
fuel surcharges have ameliorated higher fuel prices.

Several stocks in our portfolio had a down quarter in spite of unchanged or
increased values. Most dramatic was General Motors, which fell when the
company's offer to swap Hughes shares for GM shares was oversubscribed. Many
traders bought GM as an inexpensive way to receive Hughes, and before the swap
both stocks were selling at around $90. When the company announced that only one
fourth of tendered shares would be swapped, the arbitrage players who never
cared about owning the businesses or the underlying values rapidly sold their GM
shares. While the price of Hughes remained stable, GM shares fell to $58.
Because the company used fairly valued Hughes shares to purchase substantially
undervalued GM shares, the value-per-share of General Motors increased.

Our two timber-related holdings, Georgia Pacific Timber and Rayonier, also
declined in the quarter as ongoing interest rate increases boosted concerns that
stumpage demand would slow. While a short-term decline in the timber harvest
impacts current cash flow, the remaining timber reserve base builds. Tree growth
adds volume to the even larger asset base for future cutting. When demand
returns, larger, older stands will yield a more valuable product mix. As
long-term owners, a dip in current cash flow is acceptable because cash flow a
few years out will be more than correspondingly larger.

During the quarter we sold several holdings including previously mentioned
Pioneer Group. We sold both Alexander & Baldwin and Crestline, which were less
than one percent positions, to concentrate in more compelling opportunities. We
also sold our stake in Yasuda Fire and Marine, a Japanese non-life insurer.
Although this company remains statistically cheap, numerous visits with
management caused us to question their commitment to building value for
shareholders.

The quality of the businesses we own and our corporate partners are as good as
they have ever been in the Partners Fund, and the Fund sells for only 55% of our
appraised value. We look forward to reaping the benefits.

                   INTERNATIONAL FUND - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
              by Mason Hawkins, Staley Cates, and Andrew McDermott

The International Fund ended the second quarter up 10.1% versus a 4.3% decline
for the EAFE Index. According to Morningstar, Longleaf Partners International
Fund was the second best performing international fund for the period. For the
year-to-date, the Fund is up 12.4% while the EAFE has fallen 4.6%.

The Fund's performance was broad-based: eighteen of the twenty positions we hold
advanced. We are already benefiting from the opportunities we had in the first
quarter to reshape the portfolio. We bought two of our strongest recent
performers, Molson and Diageo, when, during the first quarter's global
disgorgement of branded consumer goods, portfolio managers abandoned these
unassailable franchises to chase momentum stories. Corporate activity quickly
eliminated much of the large imbalance between prices and values. The recently
announced takeovers of Bestfoods and Nabisco in the U.S. have highlighted the
values of these businesses, and our portfolio has benefited.

Our three largest contributors were positions that we have discussed previously:
Gulf Canada, Safeway PLC, and Nippon Fire and Marine. Despite nearly doubling
since our initial purchase, Gulf Canada remains undervalued relative to the
asset value of its natural gas and oil reserves combined with its tremendous
exploration potential. The continuing strength of energy prices has driven
consolidation in the Canadian oil and gas market at prices that support our
conservative appraisal.

Safeway and Nippon declined to inexplicable levels during the first quarter. We
increased our positions because our partners continued to add value -- Carlos
Criado-Perez at Safeway grew both same store sales and market share, and Ken
Matsuzawa at Nippon executed the company's first stock buyback. During the
second quarter, their efforts were partially recognized as the shares recovered.
Prices of each, however, remain low, and our appraisals have risen.

Two of our largest positions, Brierley Investments and Fairfax Financial,
declined during the quarter despite positive developments in their underlying
businesses. Brierley CEO Greg Terry negotiated an attractive sale of a portion
of the company's Air New Zealand stake to Singapore Airlines. Brierley's balance
sheet has improved over the past year; progress at all businesses has been
positive; and the company has bought in shares. Despite all this, the

stock trades near its all-time low and at its widest-ever discount to our
appraisal. At Fairfax, both the underwriting cycle and the investment
environment have turned in Prem Watsa's favor. He is taking advantage of
Fairfax's low price by repurchasing shares at a discount to book value.

We added TrizecHahn to the Fund during the quarter. TrizecHahn is a Canadian
real estate company run by Peter Munk, one of the best partners we have ever had
at Southeastern. The company is liquidating its Canadian and non-core U.S. real
estate portfolio at fair private market prices and repurchasing shares at a
significant discount to intrinsic value in the public market. We funded this
purchase by completing our extremely profitable sale of Bemrose as well as
liquidating two small positions in Ezaki Glico and KFC Japan.

We enter the third quarter with a composite price-to-value ratio of 54% and with
a number of exciting research ideas in the pipeline. We significantly increased
our own investment in the Fund recently and encourage others to take advantage
of the Fund's compelling opportunities.

                      REALTY FUND - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
              by C.T. Fitzpatrick, Mason Hawkins, and Staley Cates

Longleaf Partners Realty Fund posted a 9.8% return in the second quarter while
the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index and the NAREIT Index rose 12.1% and
10.6%, respectively. Both market dynamics and positive results at our holdings
helped drive this real estate rebound.

THE MARKET
Perhaps the greatest investing parable is from Ben Graham's Intelligent
Investor. He tells the story of a business partner called "Mr. Market" and
describes him as follows:

     Every day he tells you what he thinks your interest is worth and
     furthermore offers either to buy you out or to sell you an additional
     interest on that basis. Sometimes his idea of value appears plausible
     and justified by business developments and prospects as you know them.
     Often, on the other hand, Mr. Market lets his enthusiasm or his fears
     run away with him, and the value he proposes seems to you a little
     short of silly.

For the past two years "Mr. Market" has been silly. Despite steadily rising
earnings (FFO), exceptional property level fundamentals, and growing per share
values at many real estate companies, investors withdrew over $1.2 billion of
capital from real estate mutual funds in 1998 and 1999. An additional $117
million flowed out in the first quarter of 2000. This activity was on an asset
base of approximately $8.5 billion. Over this time period public real estate
market returns were terrible on an absolute basis and unprecedented relative to
common stocks.

Around the time the NASDAQ hit its peak in March capital began flowing back into
the public real estate industry. There were few sellers. Most real estate
companies began to rally, but prices of the large capitalization REITs rebounded
the most. While Longleaf Partners Realty Fund posted a strong quarter, our
relative performance was not as good because we own C-Corporations and cheaper,
smaller cap REITs that are not as widely followed as the "Blue Chip" REITs.

We do not know what "Mr. Market" will do next but we are encouraged by a more
sober tone among many investors. If capital continues to flow into the real
estate area one of two things should happen. Either the obviously

                                       16

cheaper companies will be bid up closer to fair value, or more fully priced
REITs will acquire their cheaper brethren. Either way, we should benefit.

OUR COMPANIES
All of our holdings made material progress during the quarter, and most of the
stocks in our portfolio rose. Several had a significant impact on the Fund's
results.

Hilton Hotels:  The stock rebounded nicely from the first quarter and was up
21%. Operating results to date have exceeded our expectations. Same property
revenues have risen 4.7%, well above inflation. The merger with Promus is
proceeding smoothly as the company is realizing annual cost savings of $65
million and revenue enhancements of $8 million.

Waste Management:  The company posted solid first quarter results that indicate
Maury Myers and his new management team have stabilized the business. The stock
rose 39% in the second quarter. The company reported both volume and pricing
increases and an improved working capital position. Non-strategic asset sales
are on target to raise $3 billion. The company received a favorable settlement
with the SEC, and a lead plaintiff has been chosen for shareholder suits.

Forest City Enterprises:  The company is firing on all cylinders with strong
same property growth of 4.9% in fiscal 1999 and a plethora of new developments
such as Times Square that are driving double-digit bottom line and value growth.
The stock rose 14% over the last three months.

Boston Properties:  The company is benefiting from its class A office portfolio
strategically located in some of the most supply constrained markets in the
country, including New York, Boston, Washington, and San Francisco. Same
property growth was 8% in the first quarter resulting in double-digit bottom
line growth. The stock was up 21% in the second quarter.

Bay View:  Following a steep decline in its stock early in the year our
management partners announced they were hiring an investment bank to review
strategic alternatives for enhancing shareholder value. This catalyst helped Bay
View shares rise 31% and the price remains well below our appraisal.

                      REALTY FUND - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
              by C.T. Fitzpatrick, Mason Hawkins, and Staley Cates

One holding, Excel Legacy, meaningfully detracted from our results in the
quarter. To address the market's gross underestimation of the company's value,
management announced a plan to sell non-core assets, focus on its most promising
development projects such as Anaheim across from Disneyland's entrance, and
repurchase 10% of the stock. We are encouraged by their strategic direction and
their commitment to value recognition.

WHAT ARE WE DOING AT LONGLEAF?
We see numerous new investment opportunities but none that we like better than
the companies we already own. We are working diligently with our management
teams, sometimes within the guidelines of a 13-D, to ensure that shareholder
value is being built and realized in the stock market.

We thank you, our long-term partners. We are optimistic that your patience will
be rewarded as investors become more focussed on our companies' tangible cash
flows and their intrinsic values.

                     SMALL-CAP FUND - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
                by Mason Hawkins, Staley Cates, and John Buford

Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund rose 6.8% in the second quarter versus a 3.8%
decline in the Russell 2000 Index and a 4.9% fall in the Value-Line Index. A
combination of positive operating results and corporate management actions
helped produce the Fund's solid return.

Small-Cap's largest position, Gulf Canada, provided a sizeable boost to
performance as the stock rose 30% during the quarter. Higher oil and gas prices
have increased the company's cash flow, and management has successfully reduced
Gulf's debt. There have been numerous North American oil and gas company
acquisitions this year at prices that reinforce our belief that our Gulf
appraisal is conservative.

Pioneer Group also contributed to Small-Cap's performance. We began discussing
alternatives with management to get corporate value recognized at Pioneer's
$12.88 low this year. The board put the company up for sale. In May Unicredito
Italiano agreed to buy Pioneer, and we liquidated our position at over $41, well
above our appraisal.

Several other holdings added to the Fund's positive results. Hilb Rogal &
Hamilton rose 27% as its agencies benefited from substantial increases in
property/casualty insurance rates. Wyndham's stock appreciated 34% as the
company demonstrated that its turnaround is under way. Pediatrix, a relatively
small position, shot up 60% in the quarter when a state of Florida audit
concluded with no fines and no charges of overbilling. Management at Bay View
hired an investment banking firm to help explore all strategic options, and the
stock rose 31% in the quarter. U.S. Industries announced the sale of its
lighting business on the heels of divesting its Diversified Division. Management
is aggressively purchasing shares at a large discount to our appraisal.
Timberwest enjoyed an up quarter as the company reported higher operating cash
flow due to increased volume and improved mix. The company also completed a
major share repurchase. Catellus made progress: clearing all Fremont approvals,
selling much of its residential development business, and capitalizing on
increased demand and rents in both the San Francisco and San Diego markets.

Fleming announced the sale of its retail business except for Food 4 Less stores.
The company has had success with large distribution customers such as Target and
Kmart, and Fleming is reaping the benefits of the Internet by

providing distribution to a number of on-line grocers. In spite of this progress
the stock declined.

During the quarter as more information surfaced, we concluded that Safety-Kleen
had been permanently damaged, even though final details have not yet emerged.
The tax implication of selling the position is that its short-term loss offsets
the substantial short-term gain generated by our earlier sale of Romac.

Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund sells for below 55% of our appraisal. Companies
priced this cheaply attract bargain hunters, and a number of our management
partners are considering partial or full liquidations. For those investors who
have access to the closed Small-Cap Fund, the portfolio has a unique mix of
upside potential and tax attractiveness. We very recently added to our personal
stakes in the Fund.

                            LONGLEAF PARTNERS FUNDS
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

The Funds are each a series of Longleaf Partners Funds Trust, a Massachusetts
business trust which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as an open-end non-diversified investment company. Capitalization for
each fund was provided by principals of Southeastern Asset Management, Inc., the
Investment Counsel.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management Estimates
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles; these principles may require the use of
estimates by Fund management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation
  (1) Portfolio securities listed or traded on a securities exchange, on the
      NASDAQ national market, or any quotation system providing same day
      publication of actual prices 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 or, if there are no such
      prices, the prior day's close.
  (2) All other portfolio securities for which over-the-counter market
      quotations are readily available are valued at the last representative
      sales price, if available, or at the midpoint between the closing bid and
      ask prices or, if there are no such prices, the prior day's close.
      Repurchase agreements are valued at cost which, combined with accrued
      interest, approximates market. Short-term U.S. Government obligations are
      valued at amortized cost which approximates current market value.
  (3) Option contracts are marked-to-market daily. Listed options are valued at
      the latest closing price. If there are no transactions that day, the
      options are valued at the midpoint between the closing bid and ask prices.
      Over-the-counter options are valued as determined in good faith under
      procedures established by the Funds' trustees.
  (4) When market quotations are not readily available, portfolio securities are
      valued at their fair values as determined in good faith under procedures
      established by and under the general supervision of the Funds' Trustees.
      In determining fair value, the Board considers all relevant qualitative
      and quantitative information available. These factors are subject to
      change over time and are reviewed periodically. Estimated values may
      differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market of the
      investment existed.

Accounting for Investments
The Funds record security transactions on trade date. Realized gains and losses
on security transactions are determined using the specific identification
method. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except that
certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon after the
ex-dividend date as the Fund is informed of the dividend. Interest income and
Fund expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date.

Federal Income Taxes
The Funds' policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
substantially all taxable income to shareholders. Accordingly, no federal income
tax provision is required. The Funds intend to make any required distributions
to avoid the application of a 4% nondeductible excise tax. Distributions are
determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles. Reclassifications are made within the
Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution
under income tax regulations.

Foreign Currency Translations
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Securities
denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are subject to changes in
value due to fluctuations in exchange rates. Purchases and sales of securities
and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing
exchange rate on the respective date of each transaction. The market value of
investment securities, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars
daily.

The Funds do not isolate the portion of net realized and unrealized gains or
losses in equity security investments which are attributable to changes in
foreign exchange rates. Accordingly, the impact of such changes is included in
the realized and unrealized gains or losses on the underlying equity securities.

Forward Currency Contracts
The Funds may execute forward currency contracts to reduce their exposure to
currency risk on portfolio investments denominated in foreign currency. Forward
currency contracts are commitments to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a
future maturity date. The resulting obligation is marked-to-market daily using
foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing service. An
unrealized gain or loss is recorded for the difference between the contract
opening value and its current value. When a contract is closed or delivery is
taken, this gain or loss is realized. For federal tax purposes, gain or loss on
open forward contracts are treated as realized and subject to distribution at
our excise tax year-end date.

                                       35
<PAGE>   38

Options
Upon the purchase of a put or call option, the premium paid is recorded as an
investment. When the Funds write a put or a call option, the premium received by
the Funds is recorded as a liability. When a purchased option expires, a loss is
recognized for the cost of the option. When a written option expires, a gain is
realized for the premium received. When the Funds enter into a closing sale
transaction, a gain or loss is recognized based on the difference between the
proceeds of the closing transaction and the cost of the option. When an option
is exercised, the cost of securities acquired or the proceeds from securities
sold is adjusted by the premium amount.

Risk of Forward Currency Contracts and Options
The Funds generally use forward currency contracts and options for hedging
purposes to reduce market risks. However, when used separately, forward currency
contracts and options have risks. For example, the price movements of the
options and forwards may not follow the price movements of the portfolio
securities subject to the hedge. Gains on investments in options and forwards
depend on the ability to predict correctly the direction of stock prices,
interest rates, and other economic factors. Where a liquid secondary market for
options or forwards does not exist, the Funds may not be able to close their
positions and in such an event, the loss is theoretically unlimited.

Repurchase Agreements
The Funds may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. The Funds' custodian
bank sells U.S. government or agency securities to each Fund under agreements to
repurchase these securities from each Fund at a stated repurchase price
including interest for the term of the agreement, which is usually overnight or
over a weekend. Each Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the
underlying U.S. government or agency securities as collateral, whose market
value is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price. If the custodian
becomes bankrupt, the Fund might be delayed, or may incur costs or possible
losses of principal and income, in selling the collateral.

NOTE 3. INVESTMENT COUNSEL AGREEMENT

Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. ("Southeastern") serves as Investment
Counsel to the Funds and receives annual compensation, computed daily and paid
monthly, in accordance with the following schedule for the Partners Fund and
Small-Cap Fund:

<PAGE>   39

For the Partners, Small-Cap and Realty Funds, Southeastern has agreed to reduce
its fees on a pro rata basis to the extent that each Fund's normal annual
operating expenses (excluding taxes, interest, brokerage fees, and extraordinary

responsible for managing, performing or supervising the administrative and
business operations of the Funds. Functions include the preparation of all

The Funds pay a fee as compensation for these services, accrued daily and paid
monthly, of 0.10% per annum of average daily net assets.

of the cost of computer software dedicated to valuation calculations and a
portion of the Funds' Treasurer's salary allocated in accordance with Trustee
review and approval.

NOTE 8. ILLIQUID OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES

The Realty Fund holds 2,060,000 shares of Beacon Capital Partners, Inc. (Beacon)
carried at $22,454,000 or $10.90 per share. The Beacon shares were acquired in a
private placement which closed March 17, 1998. The registration statement for
the Beacon shares became effective on November 13, 1998, but no regular trading
market in the shares had developed by June 30, 2000.

On July 1, 1999, Beacon paid a taxable distribution of $9,013,144 in the form of
91,994 units of Wyndham International, Inc. Voting Trust. The Wyndham Voting
Trust structure allows Beacon Capital Partners to retain voting authority with
respect to their investment in Wyndham International without jeopardizing their
REIT status. The Wyndham Voting Trust shares are not registered and are subject
to transfer restrictions. The Wyndham Voting Trust subsequently paid
distributions in cash and 4,825 additional trust units. At June 30, 2000 the
96,819 total Wyndham Voting Trust units are carried at $7,745,520 or $80.00 per
unit.

On March 24, 2000, Beacon created another voting trust to distribute shares of
an unregistered, unlisted security, CO Space Preferred stock. The Realty Fund
received approximately 465,979 CO Space, Inc. Voting Trust units at a cost basis
of $697,000. On June 22, 2000, Beacon announced the closing of a stock for stock
transaction to merge the CO Space shares held in the Voting Trust into InterNAP
Network Services Corporation. At June 30, 2000, this Voting Trust is carried at
$2,842,387 or approximately $6.10 per share. The entire position was sold in a
private transaction on July 11, 2000 for $3,556,972.

The Realty Fund also owns 14,600,000 shares of Excel Legacy Corp. Series A
Liquidating Preference Convertible Stock (Excel Preferred) valued at $35,314,480
or $2.4188 per share. The Excel Preferred shares were acquired in a private
placement which closed on March 31, 1998 and are convertible into common shares.
The registration statement for the Excel Preferred shares and the common shares
into which they are convertible became effective July 7, 2000. There is no
regular trading market for the Preferred shares.

Beacon, the Voting Trusts and Excel Preferred are valued in good faith under
guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. These investments represent
11.4% of the Realty Fund's net assets at June 30, 2000.

The International Fund owns 3,349,996 shares of Gendis, Inc. common stock,
representing 20.0% of the total outstanding shares of the company. Due to the
Fund's large ownership stake, and the relatively limited trading market for the
company's shares, a portion of this position may be somewhat illiquid. Gendis
represents 4.6% of the International Fund's net assets at June 30, 2000.
