                                                                December 8, 1995
 
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-size domestic  companies deemed  to have
above-average earnings growth prospects or where significant fundamental changes
are taking place that augur well for improved earnings.
 
     The Fund rose 23.41% for the 12  months ended October 31, 1995, vs. a  gain
of  26.36% in the S&P 500 Index, an increase of 23.98% in the Lipper Growth Fund
Index, and an advance of 21.24% in the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
 
     The Fund's performance during the period  was driven by the broad  market's
strength  and  by  particularly solid  gains  across our  most  heavily weighted
areas   --   technology,   financial   services,   health   care   and    global
media/entertainment. The performance of the technology sector, in particular, as
a  whole was  extremely strong  over the  past 12  months, and  a number  of our
holdings within the category generated exceptional returns. We remain bullish on
technology issues,  and believe  that  the stocks  held  in the  portfolio  have
above-average prospects.
 
     Financial  stocks  represent a  significant portion  of the  portfolio, and
these also contributed positively  to the Fund's  performance during the  fiscal
year. These issues have benefited from a favorable interest-rate environment and
a  sweeping  trend toward  consolidation within  the industry,  particularly the
banking sector. We expect consolidation to continue within the banking industry,
and hold a number  of excellent banks  that may stand to  gain from this  trend,
either as acquirers or as takeover targets.
 
     Healthcare  is another area of emphasis in  the Fund. Within the sector, we
have chosen to concentrate  most heavily on  drug and pharmaceutical  companies,
which  have been among  the market's better performers  in 1995. These companies
have taken major steps  toward increasing their  profitability in recent  years,
through  both consolidation  and work-force  reductions, and  hence have thrived
despite difficulty in raising prices domestically. We believe that the  specific
names  held  in  the  portfolio  have outstanding  potential.  They  are  at the
forefront of new-product  development and are  well-positioned to capitalize  on
the  growing overseas demand for healthcare-related products. This demand should
be particularly strong  in emerging  nations, which stand  to devote  increasing
amounts  of  resources  toward maintaining  and  improving the  health  of their
citizens as their economies develop.
 
     We are similarly positive on the  prospects of our media and  entertainment
holdings,  which include Walt  Disney, a company  we consider to  be the premier
entertainment business  in  the  world. Disney's  proposed  union  with  Capital
Cities/ABC highlights the rapid growth in consolidation within the entertainment
industry.  This trend  has been  favorably received by  the stock  market, and a
number of companies in the portfolio have seen their share prices pushed sharply
higher as a result.
 
     Looking ahead,  we  remain positive  on  the market's  prospects.  Data  on
inflation  suggest that bond  yields will remain low  and possibly fall further,
boosting equity valuations. At  the same time,  corporate profits should  remain
strong,  even in the  face of a  slowdown in revenue  growth, underpinned by the
cost-cutting and productivity-enhancing efforts corporate America has made  over
the  past several  years. We  believe that the  Fund is  well-positioned to take
advantage of these twin forces.

                                                                December 8, 1995
 
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-size  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 12 months ended October 31, 1995, the Fund gained 33.24%, vs. gains
of  23.58% in the Lipper Small Company  Growth Fund Index, 18.33% in the Russell
2000 Index, and 26.36% in the S&P 500 Index.
 
     The Fund's strong returns over the period are attributable to timely  stock
selection,  particularly  in our  more  heavily weighted  areas.  Our technology
position, which represents a diversified mix  of companies spanning a number  of
industries,  performed extremely  well. The  emphasis on  these stocks  is not a
short-term sector bet, but rather a direct result of our research process, which
seeks  companies  possessing  a  catalyst  or  dynamic  of  change  (e.g.,   new
management,  a new product or distribution channel, etc.) that tend to result in
accelerated earnings  growth.  A  considerable  number  of  such  companies  are
involved  in technology and related areas,  hence their significant weighting in
the portfolio. Top performers for the Fund during the reporting period  included
Maxim Integrated Products, Synopsys, and System Software Associates.
 
     Another  area of emphasis in the Fund is healthcare. Healthcare in the U.S.
is fraught with inefficiencies, and that fact, coupled with an aging population,
presents a wide window of opportunity for companies nimble and innovative enough
to provide solutions to  these problems. We see  vast potential, in  particular,
for  companies  able  to  bring  technological  applications  to  the healthcare
industry, and we  hold the stocks  of a  number of promising  companies in  this
area.  We are also bullish on the prospects of selected pharmaceutical companies
(e.g., Gilead Sciences), which  should continue to  show strong earnings  growth
despite the likelihood of healthcare and welfare reform.
 
     A third area of concentration in the portfolio is companies involved in the
communications   industry  --  i.e.,  those  benefiting  from  the  marriage  of
telecommunications to computer technology. This includes firms that  manufacture
and  service computer hardware and software, telephones and telephone equipment,
as  well  as  those  involved   in  broadcasting,  publishing,  and  music   and
entertainment. Our holdings in these areas proved rewarding investments over the
past  12 months, in particular our  holdings of Glenayre Technologies and Paging
Network.
 
     Looking  ahead,   we  think   the  outlook   remains  favorable   for   the
small-capitalization  market as  a whole. We  believe that  small-cap stocks, in
aggregate, are  less than  midway through  a multiyear  cycle of  outperformance
relative  to larger-company stocks,  and that the  potential exists for further,
substantial gains over the next several years. Set within this context, we  will
continue  to strive to  identify those stocks  that have the  best prospects for
above-average returns.

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  world  stock  markets  by investing
primarily in companies  whose principal  business activities  and interests  are
outside the United States.
 

     For  the 12 months ended October 31,  1995, the Fund fell 3.04%, vs. losses
of 0.61% in the Lipper International Fund Index and 0.37% in the Morgan  Stanley
Europe, Australia and Far East ('EAFE') Index. Exposure to emerging markets (the
Lipper  Emerging Markets Fund Index fell 18.35% during the period) accounted for
much of  the Fund's  underperformance. Shareholders  should note,  though,  that
while  the Fund's performance lagged that of the EAFE Index for the fiscal year,
its long-term record is superior. From  its inception on April 5, 1991,  through
October  31,  1995,  the Fund  generated  an  average annual  return  of 10.22%,
compared to 6.98% for the EAFE Index. Also noteworthy is the fact that the  Fund
managed to outperform its benchmark with a lower level of volatility.

 
     After  a disappointing  first half  of its fiscal  year, the  Fund showed a
considerable improvement in performance in the  second half, aided greatly by  a
sharp rebound in its Japanese holdings (27.6% of the portfolio through October).
Particularly  strong  gains  were  recorded by  the  Fund's  Japanese technology
issues. We believe that these  stocks still hold considerable upside  potential,
and  that most of the broader  Japanese market remains significantly undervalued
based on traditional long-term measures of  value (e.g., price relative to  book
value, sales and cash flow).
 
     Other Asian countries we remain positive on are South Korea and Taiwan, two
emerging  markets that have suffered  in 1995. Taiwan has  seen its stock market
lose roughly a third of  its value since the year  began, the result of  ongoing
political  tensions with China. This  has created particularly attractive values
in Taiwan's market, and we have  used the opportunity to increase our  Taiwanese
stake,  adding  to  positions  in well-managed  companies  in  the  shipping and
industrial sectors.  In  general,  we  feel  that  emerging  markets  have  been
oversold, given their outstanding long-term attractions.
 
     The Fund's European holdings contributed positively to its performance over
the  trailing 12  months, supported by  falling interest rates.  By country, the
Fund's largest weightings as of October 31 were in the United Kingdom and France
(7.2% and  5.9%, respectively,  of  the portfolio).  Our British  holdings  were
strong  performers during  the period.  French issues  generated less impressive
results,  hampered  by  concerns  regarding   fiscal  policies  of  the   Chirac
administration  and doubts about the country's  ability to meet the criteria for
European economic and  monetary union  in 1999. But  we remain  positive on  the
outlook  for  the French  companies held  in the  portfolio, believing  they are
strong, well-managed businesses.

WARBURG PINCUS JAPAN OTC FUND -- ADVISOR SHARES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                                                                December 8, 1995
 
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 12 months ended October 31, 1995, the Fund lost 7.82%, vs. a 15.58%
decline  in the yen-denominated JASDAQ Index.  In dollar terms, the JASDAQ Index
lost 19.93%.
 
     Though the Japanese market finished the period with a net loss, its rebound
in recent months is encouraging. For example, the six-month total return of  the
Fund  (4/30/95  - 10/31/95)  is 15.82%.  We believe  that there  are additional,
significant grounds for optimism  regarding Japan, and  that the stock  market's
rally reflects a secular change under way in the Japanese economy, one that will
provide excellent opportunities for smaller companies.
 
     There  are several reasons for optimism. First, the yen's reversal suggests
that Japanese finance officials  are finally committed  to taking the  necessary
steps  to reverse the  country's protracted economic  slide. Recent money-supply
data confirm the  liquidity growth that  we first suspected  earlier this  year,
while  the  Bank  of Japan's  increasing  willingness to  discuss  the country's
troubled  banking  system   is  also  encouraging   and  likely  foreshadows   a
taxpayer-financed  bailout of the financial sector. This will have a significant
impact on the economy and the broad stock market.
 
     Second,  there  is  a  strong   earnings  recovery  taking  place  in   the
manufacturing  sector.  The strongest  growth in  earnings  is occurring  in the
electronics area, especially among semiconductor- and  personal-computer-related
companies,  which  are  well-represented in  the  OTC market.  Many  other basic
industries (e.g., paper and petrochemicals)  are seeing good earnings growth  as
well, the result of aggressive restructuring efforts and strategic mergers.
 
     Third,  on  a  longer-term  basis,  opportunities  continue  to  appear for
companies nimble enough to take advantage of inefficiencies within the  Japanese
economy.  Though  deregulation of  Japan's  overregulated economy  is  likely to
remain slow, the rapidly expanding OTC market is presenting an increasing  range
of smaller companies that benefit from these changes.
 
     Our   primary  areas   of  focus   in  the   portfolio  currently   are  in
personal-computer-related and consumption-related  companies (e.g.,  retailers),
which  we believe have  the best prospects  over the coming  months. We are also
looking at opportunities in the housing sector, which stands to benefit from the
current low level of interest rates and the reconstruction efforts  necessitated
by the Kobe earthquake.

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 management
company that invests  primarily in  equity securities of  companies in  emerging
securities markets around the world.
 

     Total  return  since  inception  through October  31,  1995  (the  Fund was
launched December 30,  1994), was 13.29%,  vs. a  loss of -7.49%  in the  Lipper
Emerging Markets Fund Index.

 
     The  Fund's outperformance of its benchmark  index resulted from good stock
selection and a relatively large cash position in the first few months following
its inception. In addition, the Fund's focus  on Asian stocks due to their  good
fundamental  values  and  sound economies  meant  that  it avoided  many  of the
problems in Latin  America following  the Mexican peso  devaluation in  December
1994.
 
     Currently,  we  are finding  many  compelling values  in  emerging markets,
particularly in Asia. By region,  our largest concentration among Asian  markets
is  in Northeast Asia, principally Taiwan and  South Korea (12.2% and 15% of the
portfolio, respectively, as  of October  31, 1995). Though  Taiwan's market  has
fallen  sharply in 1995 due to political tensions with China, we have viewed the
situation as  a buying  opportunity, since  we believe  investors' concerns  are
largely overdone and that the long-term argument for investing in Taiwan remains
strong.  We  are  similarly bullish  on  South  Korea, and  hold  the  stocks of
excellent companies in the banking, technology and industrial sectors.
 
     Other large  Asian  weightings in  the  portfolio include  China/Hong  Kong
(13.9%)  and Indonesia  (10.4%), where we  have found  undemanding valuations in
relation to prospective  growth. The  portfolio remains  underweighted in  Latin
America,  since  we  are finding  better  values and  less  economic uncertainty
elsewhere. Among Latin American markets, our heaviest weighting is in Argentina,
which represented 7.8% of the portfolio at the end of the reporting period.

WARBURG PINCUS POST-VENTURE CAPITAL FUND -- ADVISOR SHARES

                                                                December 8, 1995
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
     The objective in 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.
 

     From  the Fund's inception on September 29, 1995, through October 31, 1995,
it gained 6.80%*. Its total net assets were $3,025,429.

 
     We are quite optimistic about the Fund's prospects. A major study assessing
the impact of venture-capital financing  on firms' performance** concluded  that
venture-backed companies generate superior results relative to those that lacked
such  backing. According  to the  study, venture-backed  firms create innovative
products and services. Relative to Fortune 500 companies, they create jobs at  a
faster   pace,   spend   more   on   research   and   development,   and  create
sales --  especially export  sales --  at a  faster rate.  Our own  considerable
experience   researching  and  evaluating   the  performance  of  venture-backed
companies yields similarly favorable conclusions.
 
     We believe that  the Fund's  focus on such  companies offers  a unique  and
attractive opportunity to aggressive investors.

WARBURG PINCUS EQUITY FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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') and Warburg Pincus
Post-Venture Capital Fund (the 'Post-Venture Capital 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') and Warburg  Pincus Emerging Markets Fund (the  'Emerging
Markets  Fund', together with  the Capital Appreciation  Fund, the International
Equity Fund, the  Post-Venture Capital Fund,  the Emerging Growth  Fund and  the
Japan  OTC 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  and the Japan  OTC Fund seek
long-term capital appreciation; the Emerging  Growth Fund seeks maximum  capital
appreciation;   the  Emerging  Markets   Fund  seeks  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 and  the Post-Venture  Capital  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 bid 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 trade date. Interest income  is
recorded  on the accrual basis. Dividends  are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income, expenses (excluding  class-specific expenses, principally  distribution,
transfer  agent and printing) 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 are declared and paid semiannually for
all Funds. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and
paid  annually. 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.
 
     Certain amounts  in  the Financial  Highlights  have been  reclassified  to
conform with current year presentation.
 
     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 and the
Post-Venture Capital  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.
 
2. INVESTMENT ADVISER, CO-ADMINISTRATORS AND DISTRIBUTOR
 
     Warburg, Pincus Counsellors, Inc. ('Warburg'), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Warburg,  Pincus Counsellors  G.P. ('Counsellors  G.P.'), serves  as each Fund's
investment adviser. For its investment  advisory services, Warburg receives  the
following fees based on each Fund's average daily net assets:
 
                                                                              51

4. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
 
     The International Equity  Fund, the  Japan OTC Fund,  the Emerging  Markets
Fund and the Post-Venture Capital 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.

5. EQUITY SWAP TRANSACTIONS
 
     The International Equity Fund (the 'Fund') entered into a Taiwanese  equity
swap agreement (which represents approximately .005% of the Fund's net assets at
October  31, 1995) 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  (7.125% on October 31,  1995) on the initial  stock
purchase  amount  ('Notional amount')  of  $12,000,000. 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  October 31, 1995,  the
Fund  has  recorded  an unrealized  gain  of  $502,018 and  interest  payable of
$192,375 on the equity swap transaction.

To the Boards of Directors, Trustees and Shareholders of
  Warburg Pincus Equity Funds:
 
We  have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the Warburg Pincus
Capital Appreciation  Fund,  Warburg Pincus  Emerging  Growth Fund  and  Warburg
Pincus  International Equity Fund and the  accompanying statements of assets and
liabilities including the schedules of  investments of Warburg Pincus Japan  OTC
Fund,  Warburg  Pincus Emerging  Markets  Fund and  Warburg  Pincus Post-Venture
Capital Fund (all Funds collectively referred  to as the 'Warburg Pincus  Equity
Funds') as of October 31, 1995, and the related statements of operations for the
year  (or period) then  ended, and the  statements of changes  in net assets for
each of the two years (or period)  and the financial highlights for each of  the
three years (or period) in the period then ended. These financial statements and
financial  highlights  are  the  responsibility of  the  Funds'  management. Our
responsibility is  to  express an  opinion  on these  financial  statements  and
financial  highlights  based  on our  audits.  The financial  highlights  of the
Warburg Pincus  Equity Funds  for each  of the  two years  in the  period  ended
October  31, 1992, were  audited by other auditors,  whose report dated December
15, 1992, expressed an unqualified opinion.
 
We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted   auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  and  financial
highlights  are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence  supporting the  amounts and disclosures  in the  financial
statements.  Our  procedures included  confirmation  of securities  owned  as of
October 31, 1995, by  correspondence with the custodians  and brokers. An  audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made  by  management,  as well  as  evaluating the  overall  financial statement
presentation. We believe  that our  audits provide  a reasonable  basis for  our
opinion.
 
In  our opinion, the  financial statements and  financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material  respects, the financial position of  each
of  the Warburg Pincus Equity  Funds as of October 31,  1995, and the results of
their operations for the year (or period)  then ended, and the changes in  their
net  assets for each of  the two years (or  period) and the financial highlights
for each of the three years (or period) in the period then ended, in  conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
