                                                                   June 21, 1996
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
   The  objective of the  Advisor Shares of  Warburg Pincus Capital Appreciation
Fund (the 'Fund') is long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests  primarily
in  a  diversified selection  of medium-sized  domestic  companies and  seeks to
identify sectors of  the market  and companies  within market  sectors that  may
outperform  the market and themes  or patterns that may  be associated with high
growth potential firms.
 
   For the six months ended April 30,  1996, the Fund rose 16.38%, vs. gains  of
13.70%  in the  Standard & Poor's  500 Index,  11.22% in the  Lipper Growth Fund
Index and 13.85% in the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index.
 
   We made few major changes  to the Fund during the  period in terms of  sector
weightings  or  specific  holdings,  maintaining  its  general  concentration in
several broad areas:  financial services, health  care, media/entertainment  and
technology. The rationale for emphasizing companies within these sectors is that
they  stand  to benefit  directly from  several  powerful secular  trends. These
include the aging of the baby boomers; the continued outsourcing of services and
downsizing of corporate America; and consolidation within industries. We believe
that the companies held  in the portfolio are  among the best-positioned  within
their  respective industries, and that their  prospects are very favorable. Many
of these  companies are  also actively  engaged in  aggressive  share-repurchase
programs, which we believe should have a beneficial impact on their stock prices
over time.
 
   In  general, our holdings in these areas contributed positively to the Fund's
performance  over   the  November-through-April   span.  One   group  that   saw
considerable  volatility  through the  period,  however, were  financial stocks,
which represent the Fund's heaviest single concentration. These securities  were
impacted  negatively by two factors: rising interest rates from February through
April in response to signs of  stronger economic growth, and concerns  regarding
credit  quality in their  credit-card portfolios. We  believe that the financial
companies held  in  the portfolio  are  strong, well-managed  businesses,  their
recent  weakness  notwithstanding,  and that  their  near-  to intermediate-term
performance stands  to benefit  from  moderating interest  rates in  the  months
ahead.
 
   One  change we  made during the  latter half  of the reporting  period was to
selectively increase the Fund's positions in more cyclically oriented industries
(e.g., chemicals, industrial manufacturing &  processing, and specific areas  of
technology). Increasingly, evidence suggests that the U.S. economy is relatively
strong  and  gaining  strength,  and  the  Fund's  increased  emphasis  on these
companies should work to its advantage in the coming months.

 WARBURG PINCUS EMERGING GROWTH FUND -- ADVISOR SHARES

                                                                   June 21, 1996
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
   The objective of the  Advisor Shares of Warburg  Pincus Emerging Growth  Fund
(the  'Fund')  is  maximum  capital appreciation.  The  Fund  targets  small and
medium-sized U.S. companies that have successfully completed the start-up phase,
show positive earnings momentum and are deemed to have the potential to  achieve
significant capital gains within a relatively short period of time.
 
   For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the Fund gained 20.79%, vs. gains of
19.33% in the Lipper Small Company Growth Fund Index, 18.42% in the Russell 2000
Index, and 13.70% in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
 
   The  Fund benefited from strength across a broad range of its holdings during
the period. Its technology-related  stocks made a  positive contribution to  its
performance,  which is noteworthy,  given the volatility  that characterized the
sector through  much of  the six  months. We  believe that  selectivity  remains
crucial  in the technology area. Hence we  continue to focus on what we consider
to be well-managed,  specialized companies with  proprietary technologies,  high
margins  and visible streams  of earnings. This discipline  served the Fund well
during  the  reporting  period,   allowing  it  to   avoid  the  weakness   that
characterized   stocks   of   other,   more   commodity-type   companies  (e.g.,
semiconductor manufacturers).
 
   The Fund's health-care stocks also saw positive results. We continue to  find
very  attractive opportunities in this sector, particularly among companies able
to bring technological applications to what remains a very inefficient industry.
This inefficiency, coupled with an  aging U.S. population, suggests that  health
care will remain fertile ground for nimble, innovative smaller companies for the
foreseeable  future, hence we continue to emphasize the sector in the portfolio.
Two specific, related areas  that we believe hold  particular promise are  among
makers  of pharmaceuticals  and medical  devices, and  the Fund's  holdings here
showed solid gains over the November-through-April span.
 
   Another theme that we have emphasized  with success in recent months is  that
of  corporate America's continuing penchant  for outsourcing and downsizing. Our
holdings include many companies that are direct beneficiaries of this trend, and
their performance has been  of benefit to the  portfolio. Other industries  that
have  contributed  to  the Fund's  recent  performance,  and areas  in  which we
continue to  find  attractive  companies,  include oil  services  (5.1%  of  the
portfolio as of April 30), retail (5.1% and communications & media (4.3%).

 WARBURG PINCUS INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND -- ADVISOR SHARES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                                                                   June 21, 1996
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
   The  objective of the  Advisor Shares of  Warburg Pincus International Equity
Fund (the 'Fund') is long-term capital  appreciation. The Fund aims to tap  into
the  strong  growth  potential of  today's  foreign stock  markets  by investing
primarily in companies  whose principal  business activities  and interests  are
outside the U.S.
 
   For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the Fund gained 15.31%, vs. gains of
12.09%  in the Lipper International Fund Index  and 13.21% in the Morgan Stanley
Europe, Australasia and Far East ('EAFE') Index.
 
   The Fund's  performance  for  the  six months  was  driven  by  timely  stock
selection  and, broadly, by the Fund's  emphasis on Asian-Pacific markets, which
saw strong returns over  the period. The  portfolio's largest country  weighting
throughout remained Japan (29.2% of the Fund's net assets as of April 30), which
rose  on signs of continued economic  recovery, an improved earnings outlook for
many companies, and an expansionary monetary  policy from the Bank of Japan.  We
believe  that  the  prospects for  the  Japanese economy  and  Japanese equities
remain, in general, favorable, and that the Fund is well-positioned in terms  of
its  specific  holdings. By  sector, the  Fund's largest  weightings are  in two
areas, machinery & industrial  components and retail,  reflecting our view  that
Japan's economic recovery will be led by capital spending and consumption.
 
   As  a defensive measure,  we continue to  hedge a substantial  portion of the
Fund's yen exposure, reflecting our view that the Japanese currency will  weaken
vs.  the U.S.  dollar. This  strategy worked  to the  Fund's advantage  over the
reporting period.
 
   Other  Asian-Pacific  stocks  that  contributed  positively  to  the   Fund's
performance  include  its  holdings in  Hong  Kong, Indonesia,  South  Korea and
Taiwan. The latter two markets, which  combined represented 9.8% of the Fund  as
of  April 30, rebounded strongly  in April -- rising  11% and 25%, respectively,
for  the  month  per  Morgan  Stanley  Capital  International  --  after  under-
performing  in 1995 and  through the first  three months of  1996. Our long-term
outlook on both markets,  and on Asian-Pacific  markets generally, remains  very
positive,  given what  we consider  to be  their excellent  growth prospects and
reasonable valuations.
 
   The Fund remained underweighted in Europe through the period, reflecting  our
general  view that  better growth  prospects exist  elsewhere. But  the Fund saw
positive results from many of its  European holdings, notably its German  stocks
(Adidas and SGL Carbon, which both rose strongly despite general weakness in the
German  equity market)  and its  French stocks.  The French  stock market, after
lagging in  1995,  was  Europe's strongest  performer  in  local-currency  terms
through  the  first four  months  of 1996,  driven  by signs  that  its economic
troubles have begun to ease. The Fund benefited from this strength, with several
of  its  holdings  (e.g.,  Lagardere  Groupe,  Fives-Lille  and  Scor)  enjoying
particularly  impressive gains.  The Fund  also benefited  from our  decision to
hedge its franc exposure,  since the French currency  weakened against the  U.S.
dollar  during the  period. We  remain positive  on the  outlook for  our French
stocks, believing that they are strong, well-managed businesses.

 WARBURG PINCUS JAPAN OTC FUND -- ADVISOR SHARES

                                                                   June 21, 1996
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
   The objective of  the Advisor Shares  of Warburg Pincus  Japan OTC Fund  (the
'Fund')  is  long-term  capital  appreciation.  The  Fund  invests  primarily in
securities traded on the Japanese  over-the-counter (OTC) market. At all  times,
except  during temporary defensive  periods, the Fund maintains  at least 65% of
its assets in these OTC securities.
 
   For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the Fund gained 8.06%, vs. gains  of
17.37%   and  14.55%  in   the  yen-  and   dollar-denominated  JASDAQ  indexes,
respectively. For the 1-year period ended April 30, 1996, the Fund gained 25.15%
vs. 31.65%  and  5.58%  in  the  yen-  and  dollar-denominated  JASDAQ  indexes,
respectively.*
 
   The Fund trailed its benchmark for the period due largely to its weighting in
stocks of integrated-circuit (e.g., semiconductor) manufacturers. These had been
strong  performers in 1995, and  the Fund's emphasis on  these issues was one of
the main  contributors to  its performance  for the  year. But  the stocks  have
suffered  vs.  other sectors  of the  market thus  far in  1996, and  the Fund's
exposure through April proved a liability. We believe that many of these  stocks
have  the potential to show improved  performance in the coming months, however,
supported by the  continued weakness in  the yen, and  hence we have  maintained
some exposure to the sector in the portfolio.
 
   Areas  that  contributed  positively  to the  Fund's  performance  during the
November-through-April period  include  its consumer-related  holdings.  Japan's
consumer-oriented  companies have benefited from  the broad recovery in domestic
consumption, which has  led to improved  earnings and higher  share prices.  Our
outlook  on the  consumer sector remains  positive, and companies  that stand to
benefit from this growth represent a  significant portion of the Fund's  assets.
We  believe that there are particularly attractive values to be found in retail,
restaurant  and  other  service-related  companies  currently,  and  the  Fund's
holdings include what we consider to be among the most promising.
 
   We  remain upbeat on the general prospects of Japan's over-the-counter stocks
as well. The Bank of Japan continues  to pursue a benign monetary policy,  which
is  favorable for sustained  economic growth and for  share prices. In addition,
earnings for OTC companies remain strong vs. those of larger Japanese companies,
which may lead  to increasing  investor attention  for these  securities in  the
months ahead.

                                                                   June 21, 1996
 
Dear Shareholder:
   The objective of the Advisor Shares  of Warburg Pincus Emerging Markets  Fund
(the  'Fund') is  growth of  capital. The  Fund is  a non-diversified investment
management company that invests primarily  in equity securities of companies  in
emerging securities markets around the world.
 
   For  the six months ended April 30, 1996,  the Fund gained 22.97%, vs. a gain
of 13.42% in the Lipper Emerging Markets Fund Index.
 
   Emerging markets enjoyed a  broad recovery in the  first four months of  1996
after  a generally lackluster performance in  1995. The Fund benefited from this
resurgence and  from the  particular strength  shown by  Asian-Pacific  emerging
markets, which comprise the largest portion of the Fund's assets. As detailed in
previous  communications, the Fund's emphasis on these markets reflects our view
that their long-term  growth prospects  are superior,  in general,  to those  of
other  emerging markets  (e.g., those of  Latin America or  Eastern Europe), due
largely  to  Asian-Pacific  economies'   high  savings  and  investment   rates.
Asian-Pacific  countries also typically have  better government policies, from a
business and  investment  perspective, and  more  stable currencies  than  other
developing countries, which further increases their attractiveness.
 
   The Fund's Asian-Pacific emphasis remained most heavily concentrated in South
Korea  and Taiwan  through the six  months (the countries  represented 17.4% and
11.1%, respectively, of the Fund's net  assets through April). Both markets  saw
strong  gains  in  the  month  of  April  after  posting  disappointing  results
year-to-date through March. In South Korea's case this rebound was  attributable
largely  to  a favorable  response  from foreign  investors  to its  decision to
further open its stock market (effective April 1, foreign investors can own  18%
of  a listed South Korean company, up  from 15% previously); in Taiwan's case it
was  due  to  the  successful  completion  of  the  country's  first  democratic
presidential  election in March.  We continue to find  good companies selling at
attractive valuations  in  both  countries,  hence  we  continue  to  give  each
significant weighting in the portfolio.
 
   Elsewhere,  the Fund saw strong performance  from its weightings in Indonesia
and India, which represented 6.4% and 9.0%, respectively, of the portfolio as of
April 30. The Fund's Indonesian stocks showed particularly strong performance in
the first quarter, and we took significant profits following those strong gains.
We remain committed to India, a market  that we believe holds much promise:  the
country's  path toward economic  reform appears likely  to continue, despite the
failure of the recent general election to provide a clear mandate for either  of
the  country's two  major political parties;  and equity  valuations remain very
attractive relative to those of other emerging markets.
 
   In Latin America, the  Fund's primary focus  is on the  markets of Chile  and
Argentina,  which each represented 6.6% of the Fund on April 30. We believe that
both markets remain attractive, and that the Fund's specific holdings are strong
companies with attractive valuations and favorable prospects.
 
   In other regions, we are finding attractive opportunities in both Africa  and
the  Middle  East. Elsewhere,  the Fund  has benefited  from recent  strength in
Eastern Europe, specifically in Hungary, though we believe that opportunities in
the region may be more limited over the remainder of the year.

 WARBURG PINCUS POST-VENTURE CAPITAL FUND -- ADVISOR SHARES

Dear Shareholder:
 
   The objective of the  Advisor Shares of  Warburg Pincus Post-Venture  Capital
Fund (the 'Fund') is long-term growth of capital. The Fund pursues its objective
by  investing primarily in equity securities of  companies deemed to be in their
post-venture-capital stage of development.
 
   For the six months ended April 30,  1996, the Fund gained 63.02%, vs. a  gain
of 11.22% in the Lipper Growth Fund Index.
 
   The  Fund's  significant  outperformance  of  its  benchmark  for  the period
reflects generally strong  performance among  the Fund's  more heavily  weighted
sectors,  and timely stock  selection within those  sectors. The Fund's heaviest
emphasis through the period was concentrated  in three broad areas: health  care
(23.5% of the portfolio as of April 30), computers (20.4%) and business services
(12.9%),  and  a  large number  of  the  Fund's holdings  within  these segments
generated superior, in  some cases  exceptional, gains relative  to the  broader
market.  The Fund also saw  strong performance from a  number of its holdings in
other market  sectors,  most  notably  in  the  electronics  and  pharmaceutical
segments,  which combined  accounted for  12.8% of the  portfolio at  the end of
April. We  believe  that the  prospects  of  the Fund's  securities  remain,  in
general,  very  favorable, and  that the  portfolio  is well-positioned  for the
coming months.
 
   We remain  similarly  positive on  the  long-term prospects  of  post-venture
companies  collectively. (We define these companies  as those that have received
venture-capital financing either during the  early stages of their existence  or
in the early stages of the development of a new product or service, or that have
received  such financing  as part  of a  restructuring or  recapitalization.) We
believe that venture-capital participation can lead to growth rates in  earnings
and  revenues  above those  of  companies that  lacked  such financing,  and are
encouraged by a recent major study* that reached similar conclusions.
 
   We would  caution  investors, however,  that  investing in  these  securities
entails  potential risks as well as rewards. Because of the nature of the Fund's
investments and certain strategies it may use, an investment in the Fund  should
be considered only for the aggressive portion of an investor's portfolio and may
not  be appropriate  for all investors.  Investors should  review the prospectus
carefully before purchase.

 WARBURG PINCUS JAPAN GROWTH FUND -- ADVISOR SHARES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                                                                   June 21, 1996
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
   The objective of the Advisor Shares of Warburg Pincus Japan Growth Fund  (the
'Fund') is long-term growth of capital. The Fund is a non-diversified management
investment  company that pursues its objective  by investing primarily in equity
securities of Japanese issuers that present attractive opportunities for growth.
Under current market conditions the Fund intends  to invest at least 80% of  its
total  assets --  but will invest  no less than  65% of its  assets under normal
market conditions -- in common and preferred stocks, warrants and other  rights,
securities  convertible  into or  exchangeable  for common  stocks  and American
Depository Receipts (ADRs) of Japanese issuers.
 
   For the  four months  ended April  30, 1996  (the Fund's  inception date  was
December  29, 1995), the Fund gained 7.70% vs.  a 7.59% gain in the Lipper Japan
Funds Average.
 
   The Fund benefited from its real-estate  holdings and the performance of  its
over-the-counter  (OTC)  issues  during  the period;  the  OTC  market generally
escaped much of the  carnage wrought among many  larger stocks in January.  Also
fortuitous  was the Fund's  heavy weighting in  capital spending as  well as its
light stake in bank issues. And the Fund's holdings in Honda and several of  its
component  suppliers  were especially  beneficial, as  the  company is  having a
banner year.
 
   The  Fund   was  somewhat   disadvantaged  by   its  concentration   in   the
semiconductor-related  sector. Companies  in this  sector performed  strongly in
1995, when the weighting  was a benefit. Semiconductor  stocks fared poorly  vs.
other sectors through April 1996, however, and the high exposure was a handicap.
We   subsequently  cut  back  our  semiconductor-related  holdings  in  May.  An
additional brake  on the  Fund's  performance was  its  holdings in  the  retail
sector   --  the  segment  slumped  in  April  when  inclement  weather  led  to
disappointing clothing  sales.  Retail recovered  from  this dip  in  late  May,
however, and we are maintaining our retail-related investments.
 
   One  factor  that  potentially  weakened the  Fund's  semiannual  results was
unrelated to how its components fared.  Rather, the issue was the Fund's  launch
date.  Its inception on the  last business day of last  year meant that the Fund
was not fully invested when the Japanese market surged on the very first day  of
trading  in 1996. Had its investments been  more fully developed, the Fund would
likely have outperformed the Lipper Japan Funds Average by more than it did.
 
   According to recently released figures, the  Japanese economy grew 3% in  the
March  quarter  from  the previous  three-month  period,  surpassing economists'
expectations of 1.2%  growth. These data  notwithstanding, some analysts  remain
pessimistic  about Japan's long-term  economic recovery, which  they perceive as
faltering. We  disagree  with  this  perception, however,  and  continue  to  be
extremely  optimistic  about the  country's  economic health.  The macroeconomic
figures in general remain  sturdy, in our  opinion. April industrial  production
was in line with forecasts, up 3.9% month-over-month, while inventories declined
more than expected, down 0.8% in the same period.
 
   We  believe that some  analysts are gloomy  about Japan's near-term prospects
because the country's economy is in  the midst of formal deregulation, and  this
process  remains  slow. What  these analysts  are perhaps  missing is  that many
companies are  finding  ways  to  side-step  obstacles  and  take  advantage  of
 
                                                                      7

opportunities within the economy. In particular, myriad smaller companies in the
rapidly  expanding OTC market are benefiting from the country's ongoing changes.
Moreover,  with  the  Bank  of  Japan  still  anticipating  a  weaker   economy,
interest-rate  hikes, if there are  any, should be modest,  and this will likely
benefit the stock market.

 WARBURG PINCUS SMALL COMPANY VALUE FUND -- ADVISOR SHARES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                                                                   June 21, 1996
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
   The objective of  the Advisor Shares  of Warburg Pincus  Small Company  Value
Fund  (the 'Fund') is long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily
in a portfolio of equity  securities of small-capitalization companies that  are
considered to be relatively undervalued.
 
   For  the four  months ended  April 30,  1996 (the  Fund's inception  date was
December 29, 1995), the Fund gained 26.20%  vs. a gain of 10.72% in the  Russell
2000  Index. It is often the case that a fund outperforms to this extent because
a single sector within it flourishes in a given period. Through April 30 of this
year, however,  no one  industry sector  stood  out as  a leader.  Rather,  many
individual stocks within the various sectors did well.
 
   The  Fund  focuses  on  buying  the  stocks  of  companies  that  have market
capitalizations (the value of all  outstanding stock) below $1 billion.  Because
the  companies are small,  their stocks are  not widely followed  by Wall Street
analysts. Investors, for the  most part, are therefore  unaware of these  small-
capitalization  companies. This  kind of  company thus  remains undervalued, its
share price ill-matched to its actual worth.  We consider adding a stock to  the
Fund when our research reveals that it has met our criteria of being undervalued
and  having promising prospects. Any  subsequent increase in analytical coverage
of that  stock is  usually  beneficial to  the Fund,  as  it will  likely  pique
investor interest.
 
   Through April of this year the average capitalization of the stocks we bought
for  the Fund was about  $180 million, well below  our established ceiling. This
meant that many of these securities,  orbiting even farther off analysts'  radar
screens  than somewhat higher-cap  stocks might, captured  the attention of even
fewer investors -- and  were especially undervalued.  The Fund benefited  during
the  period as the  potential of these stocks  became increasingly recognized in
the marketplace.
 
   The Fund has performed well to date.  This brief period of performance is  no
guarantee of how the Fund may perform in the future. Despite a thorough analysis
of a company and its addition to our portfolio, ultimately, other investors must
also  recognize  the stock's  intrinsic  value and  then  invest in  it.  We are
inclined to  invest early,  recognizing that  we must  be prepared  to give  our
investments time to perform. By the same token, should a stock attain our target
price,  even if it does  so more swiftly than expected,  we likely will sell it.
Such is the value discipline.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
   The  Warburg  Pincus Equity  Funds are  comprised  of Warburg  Pincus Capital
Appreciation  Fund   (the   'Capital   Appreciation   Fund'),   Warburg   Pincus
International  Equity  Fund (the  'International  Equity Fund'),  Warburg Pincus
Post-Venture Capital Fund (the 'Post-Venture  Capital Fund') and Warburg  Pincus
Small  Company Value Fund (the 'Small  Company Value Fund') which are registered
under the  Investment Company  Act of  1940,  as amended  (the '1940  Act'),  as
diversified,  open-end  management  investment  companies,  and  Warburg  Pincus
Emerging Growth Fund (the 'Emerging Growth Fund'), Warburg Pincus Japan OTC Fund
(the 'Japan  OTC Fund'),  Warburg Pincus  Emerging Markets  Fund (the  'Emerging
Markets  Fund') and Warburg Pincus Japan  Growth Fund (the 'Japan Growth Fund'),
together with the Capital Appreciation Fund, the International Equity Fund,  the
Post-Venture  Capital Fund,  the Emerging Growth  Fund, the Japan  OTC Fund, the
Emerging Markets Fund and the Small  Company Value Fund, the 'Funds') which  are
registered under the 1940 Act as non-diversified, open-end management investment
companies.
 
   Investment  objectives for each Fund are as follows: the Capital Appreciation
Fund, the International Equity  Fund, the Japan OTC  Fund and the Small  Company
Value  Fund seek long-term capital appreciation;  the Emerging Growth Fund seeks
maximum capital appreciation; the  Emerging Markets Fund  and Japan Growth  Fund
seek  growth of capital; the Post-Venture Capital Fund seeks long-term growth of
capital.
 
   Each Fund offers two classes of shares, one class being referred to as Common
Shares and one  class being referred  to as Advisor  Shares. Common and  Advisor
Shares  in each Fund represent  an equal pro rata  interest in such Fund, except
that they bear different expenses which  reflect the difference in the range  of
services  provided to them. Common  Shares for the Japan  OTC Fund, the Emerging
Markets Fund, the Post-Venture Capital Fund, the Japan Growth Fund and the Small
Company Value Fund bear  expenses paid pursuant to  a shareholder servicing  and
distribution  plan adopted by each Fund at an  annual rate not to exceed .25% of
the average daily  net asset  value of  each Fund's  outstanding Common  Shares.
Advisor  Shares for each Fund bear expenses paid pursuant to a distribution plan
adopted by each Fund at an annual rate  not to exceed .75% of the average  daily
net  asset value of each  Fund's outstanding Advisor Shares.  The Common and the
Advisor Shares are currently bearing expenses of .25% and .50% of average  daily
net assets, respectively.
 
   The  net asset  value of  each Fund is  determined daily  as of  the close of
regular trading on  the New  York Stock  Exchange. Each  Fund's investments  are
valued  at market value,  which is currently determined  using the last reported
sales price. If no sales are  reported, investments are generally valued at  the
last  reported mean price. In the  absence of market quotations, investments are
generally valued at fair value  as determined by or  under the direction of  the
Fund's  governing Board. Short-term  investments that mature in  60 days or less
are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
   The  books  and  records  of  the  Funds  are  maintained  in  U.S.  dollars.
Transactions  denominated  in foreign  currencies  are recorded  at  the current
prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities

denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the
current exchange rate  at the  end of the  period. Translation  gains or  losses
resulting  from changes  in the  exchange rate  during the  reporting period and
realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are
reported in the results of operations for  the current period. The Funds do  not
isolate  that portion  of gains and  losses on investments  in equity securities
which are due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which are due to
changes in market prices of equity securities. The Funds isolate that portion of
gains and losses on investments in debt  securities which are due to changes  in
the foreign exchange rate from that which are due to changes in market prices of
debt securities.
 
   Security  transactions  are accounted  for on  a  trade date  basis. Interest
income is  recorded  on  the  accrual  basis.  Dividends  are  recorded  on  the
ex-dividend   date.   Income,  expenses   (excluding   class-specific  expenses,
principally distribution and shareholder servicing fees) and realized/unrealized
gains/losses are allocated proportionately  to each class  of shares based  upon
the relative net asset value of outstanding shares. The cost of investments sold
is  determined by use  of the specific identification  method for both financial
reporting and income tax purposes.
 
   Dividends from  net  investment  income and  distributions  of  net  realized
capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually for all Funds. However, to
the  extent that a  net realized capital gain  can be reduced  by a capital loss
carryover,  such  gain  will  not  be  distributed.  Income  and  capital   gain
distributions  are determined in accordance  with Federal income tax regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
 
   No provision is  made for Federal  taxes as  it is each  Fund's intention  to
continue  to qualify  for and  elect the  tax treatment  applicable to regulated
investment companies  under the  Internal Revenue  Code and  make the  requisite
distributions  to its shareholders  which will be sufficient  to relieve it from
Federal income and excise taxes.
 
   Costs incurred  by  the  Japan  OTC Fund,  the  Emerging  Markets  Fund,  the
Post-Venture  Capital Fund,  the Japan Growth  Fund and the  Small Company Value
Fund in connection  with their  organization have  been deferred  and are  being
amortized  over a  period of five  years from  the date each  Fund commenced its
operations.
 
   Each Fund may enter into  repurchase agreement transactions. Under the  terms
of  a  typical  repurchase agreement,  a  Fund acquires  an  underlying security
subject to  an  obligation  of  the  seller to  repurchase.  The  value  of  the
underlying security collateral will be maintained at an amount at least equal to
the  total amount of the purchase obligation, including interest. The collateral
is in the Fund's possession.
 
   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the  reported  amounts of  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 these estimates.
 
                                                                              65

4. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
 
   The International Equity Fund, the Japan OTC Fund, the Emerging Markets Fund,
the Post-Venture Capital Fund, the Japan Growth Fund and the Small Company Value
Fund  may enter into  forward currency contracts  for the purchase  or sale of a
specific foreign currency at  a fixed price  on a future  date. Risks may  arise
upon   entering   into  these   contracts  from   the  potential   inability  of
counterparties to  meet the  terms  of their  contracts and  from  unanticipated
movements  in the value of  a foreign currency relative  to the U.S. dollar. The
Funds will  enter into  forward contracts  primarily for  hedging purposes.  The
forward  currency  contracts are  adjusted  by the  daily  exchange rate  of the
underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement
purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date.
 
   At April 30, 1996, the International Equity Fund, the Japan OTC Fund and  the
Japan Growth Fund had the following open forward foreign currency contracts:

5. EQUITY SWAP TRANSACTIONS
 
   The  International Equity Fund  (the 'Fund') entered  into a Taiwanese equity
swap agreement (which represents approximately .41% of the Fund's net assets  at
April  30, 1996)  dated August  11, 1995,  where the  Fund receives  a quarterly
payment, representing  the  total return  (defined  as market  appreciation  and
dividend income) on a basket of three Taiwanese common stocks ('Common Stocks').
In  return, the  Fund pays  quarterly the  Libor rate  (London Interbank Offered
Rate), plus 1.25% per annum  (6.508% on April 30, 1996)  on the market value  of
the  Common  Stocks  ('Notional  amount') which  is  currently  $10,512,575. The
Notional amount is marked to market on  each quarterly reset date. In the  event
that  the  Common Stocks  decline in  value, the  Fund will  be required  to pay
quarterly, the amount of any depreciation in value from the notional amount. The
equity swap agreement will terminate on August 11, 1996.
 
   During the term of the equity swap  transaction, changes in the value of  the
Common  Stocks as  compared to the  Notional amount is  recognized as unrealized
gain or  loss.  Dividend  income for  the  Common  Stocks are  recorded  on  the
ex-dividend date. Interest expense is accrued daily. At April 30, 1996, the Fund
has  recorded an unrealized gain of  $3,166,123 and interest payable of $148,230
on the equity swap transaction.
