Dear Shareholder,
 
The performance of the Rice, Hall, James Small Cap Portfolio as of April 30,
1996 is presented below. Three indices are provided for comparative purposes:

 * Commencement of Operations
** Excludes dividend income
 
The Rice, Hall, James Small Cap Portfolio exceeded all three indices during
the periods above. While the small stock Russell 2000 Index eclipsed the
returns on the S&P 500 over the last year, the Portfolio increased its
positive performance gap versus the former index over each respective time
period. It will be difficult to sustain such a large degree of outperformance
over time.
 
After a brief respite, the technology sector once again offered opportunity,
as the weighting and number of stocks in this broad area rose significantly
during the quarter. Valuations were more reasonable after the sharp selloff
last fall, and investors' fears of recession receded. At the same time, energy
stocks appreciated nicely due to strong demand for energy products, further
spurring the performance of the Portfolio. We continue to like selected
exploration and energy service stocks. Health care stocks remain promising,
but this quarter were a slightly smaller percentage of the total Portfolio.
Finally, our analysts uncovered several specialty retail stocks which
benefitted from stronger consumer spending this spring.
 
As we start the final half of the fiscal year, our focus on small,
fundamentally attractive businesses should lead to opportunities for
significant stock price appreciation. Dividend yield is not an important
factor in our investment process. No derivative instruments were used in our
investment strategy.
 
Sincerely,
(ART)

                     RICE, HALL, JAMES SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO
 
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds") were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The Rice, Hall, James Small Cap Portfolio
(the "Portfolio"), a portfolio of UAM Funds, Inc., began operations on July 1,
1994. At April 30, 1996, the UAM Funds were comprised of thirty-seven active
portfolios. The financial statements of the remaining portfolios are presented
separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the Portfolio
in the preparation of its financial statements. Generally accepted accounting
principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Securities listed on a securities exchange for which
  market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sales
  price as of the close of the exchange on the day the valuation is made or,
  if no sale occurred on such day, at the bid price on such day. Price
  information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the
  security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter and unlisted securities are
  valued at the current bid price. Short-term investments that have remaining
  maturities of sixty days or less at time of purchase are valued at
  amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The value of other assets
  and securities for which no quotations are readily available is determined
  in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of
  Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements.
 
  Undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain have
  been adjusted for prior year permanent book-tax differences.
  Reclassifications arose principally from differing book and tax treatments
  for the characterization of net operating losses.
 
  At April 30, 1996, the Portfolio's cost of investments for Federal income
  tax purposes was approximately $23,389,000. Net unrealized appreciation for
  Federal income tax purposes aggregated approximately $5,212,000, of which
  $5,619,000 related to appreciated securities and $407,000 related to
  depreciated securities.
 
 
  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolio's custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
  collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy
  of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase,
  the Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
  proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or
  bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
  retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
 
  4. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all its net investment income to shareholders quarterly. Any
  realized net capital gains will normally be distributed annually. All
  distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which
  may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences
  are primarily due to permanent differences as presented in Note A2.
 
  5. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the date
  the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
  on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
  Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Most expenses of the
  UAM Funds can be directly attributed to a particular portfolio. Expenses
  which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the portfolios of
  the UAM Funds based on their relative net assets. Additionally, certain
  expenses are apportioned among the portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW
  Commercial Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an affiliated closed-end
  management investment company, based on their relative net assets.
  Custodian fees for the Portfolio have been increased to include expense
  offsets for custodian balance credits.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement,
Rice, Hall, James & Associates (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment advisory
services to the Portfolio at a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% of
average daily net assets. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a
portion of its advisory fees and to assume expenses, if necessary, in order to
keep the Portfolio's total annual operating expenses, after the effect of
expense offset arrangements, from exceeding 1.40% of average daily net assets.
 
C. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion. The fees are allocated among the
portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW on the basis of their relative net assets
and are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per portfolio which rises
from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a portfolio, to $70,000 annually
after two years. For Portfolios with more than one class of shares, the
minimum annual fee increases to $90,000. In addition, the Administrator
receives a Portfolio-specific monthly fee of 0.04% of average daily net assets
for the Portfolio. Also effective April 15, 1996, the Administrator has
entered into a Mutual Funds Service Agreement with Chase Global Funds Services
Company ("CGFSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A., under which CGFSC agrees to provide certain services, including but not
limited to, administration, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer
agent services. Pursuant to the Mutual Funds Service Agreement, the
Administrator pays CGFSC a monthly fee.

<PAGE>
 
                     RICE, HALL, JAMES SMALL CAP PORTFOLIO
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined aggregate average
daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20% of the first $200
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.08% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but less than $3 billion; plus
0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion.
 
For the period April 15, 1996 to April 30, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
earned $3,386 from the Portfolio as Administrator.
 
D. DISTRIBUTION SERVICES: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolio. The
Distributor does not receive any fee or other compensation with respect to the
Portfolio.
 
E. PURCHASES AND SALES: For the period ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio
made purchases and sales of approximately $24,602,000 and $21,005,000,
respectively, of investment securities other than long-term U.S. Government
and short-term securities. There were no purchases and sales of long-term U.S.
Government securities.
 
F. DIRECTORS' FEES: Each Director, who is not an officer or affiliated person,
receives $2,000 per meeting attended, which is allocated proportionally among
the active portfolios of UAM Funds and AEW, plus a quarterly retainer of $150
for each active portfolio of the UAM Funds and AEW, and reimbursement of
expenses incurred in attending Board meetings.
 
G. LINE OF CREDIT: The Portfolio, along with certain other portfolios of UAM
Funds, collectively entered into an agreement which enables them to
participate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit with several banks.
Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of
portfolio shares. Interest is charged to each participating portfolio based on
its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.75%.
In addition, a commitment fee of 1/10th of 1% per annum, payable at the end of
each calendar quarter, is accrued by each participating portfolio based on
their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. During the period
ended April 30, 1996, there were no borrowings under the agreement.

Dear Shareholder:
 
We are pleased to provide you with our semi-annual report for the period ended
April 30, 1996 on the UAM Funds' Portfolios managed by Thompson, Siegel &
Walmsley, Inc. (TS&W).
 
The TS&W Equity, Fixed Income and International Equity Portfolios have
continued to grow since our last report of October 31, 1995. The Equity
Portfolio's net assets on April 30, 1996 were $80,417,229, the Fixed Income
Portfolio's net assets were $58,596,086 and the International Equity
Portfolio's net assets were $99,557,368.
 
Participants in these Portfolios include the TS&W retirement plans, existing
TS&W clients, and others seeking investment management direction from TS&W. We
encourage many of our clients to pursue a balanced investment approach,
utilizing a combination of these Portfolios to help achieve their specific
investment objectives.
 
The Portfolios are managed by the TS&W team of investment professionals
utilizing the same investment philosophy and decision making process which has
been in place at our firm for over two decades. We pursue a conservative
approach that emphasizes relative values in the selection of securities. We
stress quality securities and a diversified approach in structuring
portfolios.
 
Our decision making process focuses on top-down economic analysis, fundamental
analysis of economic sectors, industries, and companies, and an analysis of
absolute and relative values in the market. Our long-term goal is to achieve
above-average results at below-average levels of risk over a complete economic
or market cycle.
 
                             TS&W EQUITY PORTFOLIO
 
The TS&W Equity Portfolio had total net assets of $80,417,229 on April 30,
1996 with $74,520,031 (93% of net assets) invested in common and preferred
stocks, and the remainder in cash reserves. For the first half of fiscal 1996
(November 1, 1995 to April 30, 1996), the TS&W Equity Portfolio returned
14.28% versus the S&P 500 Index return of 13.76%.
 
The U.S. economy continues along a path of moderate growth which we believe
will lead us into 1997 without a recession. The Federal Reserve has been
successful in its efforts to keep inflation low and economic growth at a
sustainable pace. It is likely that some modest inflationary pressures may
arise this year, but we do not expect significantly higher consumer prices.
Some recent measures of the economy have been relatively strong, and this has
led the Federal Reserve to postpone any reductions in the short term rates it
controls. Inflation expectations and the hesitancy of the Fed to lower rates
have already affected the bond markets.
 
We have now gone over five years without a 10% decline in the stock market. We
believe the probability of a correction in the equity markets is increasing so
we have been gradually adjusting the Portfolio over the last few quarters to
become more defensive. There are many positive long term influences that will
continue to make equity investments attractive, but we are quite active in
adding stocks which traditionally do well in a period of slowing corporate
profit growth.
 
Profit growth for corporations has been tremendous for the last two years.
While we expect profits to continue to grow, the rate of growth will likely be
significantly lower. Due to this slow profit growth, we expect to witness many
negative earnings surprises as company profits do not meet the expectations of
investors. We have been
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
 
attempting to insulate the Portfolio from these shocks by concentrating on
sectors that have stable earnings patterns (utilities and Real Estate
Investment Trusts (REITs)) or have the prospect for achieving a greater share
of total corporate profits (energy).
 
Some of the new common stocks in the Portfolio are Intel and Motorola in the
technology sector; Liberty Property Trust, Merry Land & Investment Co., and
United Dominion Realty in the REIT industry; and Wal-Mart and Archer-Daniels-
Midland in the consumer sector.
 
                          TS&W FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
 
The TS&W Fixed Income Portfolio had total net assets of $58,596,086 on April
30, 1996. For the quarter ended April 30, 1996, the TS&W Fixed Income
Portfolio total return was -3.53% versus -3.61% for the Lehman Brothers
Government/Corporate Index. For the period from November 1, 1995 to April 30,
1996, the Portfolio was down -0.28% versus the Index return of 0.04%.
 
Rates rose for all maturities during the past quarter. These rate increases
were most apparent for intermediate and long maturities as market participants
relinquished expectations of continued easing of monetary policy by the
Federal Reserve. Three month Treasury Bill rates rose to 5.11% from 5.04% as
five year Treasury rates rose to 6.32% from 5.23% for an increase of 109 basis
points. Long term rates rose the same degree as intermediate rates with the
yield on ten year Treasury issues rising to 6.58% from 5.57% and thirty year
rates rising to 6.82% from 6.02%.
 
The rise in rates was triggered by economic data suggesting the economy gained
momentum during the early spring. Evidence of a more robust economy than
expected, associated with increased commodity prices, has caused concern among
bond investors that inflation is accelerating. Increased inflation erodes the
value of bond income and consequently bond prices drop. An additional factor
the bond market has also come to grips with is the realization that the
Federal Reserve will be more cautious about continued lowering of short term
rates.
 
Market participants had discounted successive easing moves by the Federal
Reserve at year end 1995. These expectations were fulfilled in late January as
short term rates were lowered 25 basis points to 5.25% from 5.50%. Market
participants bid up bond prices as they factored in additional easing moves by
the Fed. However, subsequent to the Fed's easing move action in late January,
commodity prices rose, employment gains were significant, and economic data
was positive. These factors led the market to believe it would be dealing with
a less friendly Federal Reserve and even raised the prospect that the Fed
could reverse their current policy and raise short term rates.
 
Our strategy during this period has been to take advantage of the backup in
rates by gradually extending the Portfolio's average maturity. A recent
example of this strategy was an increase in the holdings of thirty year bonds
to 19% of the total Portfolio when the yield was greater than 7%. By the close
of December 1995 we had reduced our weighting in thirty year assets to less
than 14% of fund assets versus an average of 18% through most of the fourth
quarter of 1995. We shortened the average maturity of the Portfolio as demand
took the yield below 6% at the end of 1995.
 
Our view is that there is decent value in intermediate bonds at current levels
and good value in longer dated securities around the 7% level. This judgment
is based on the increase in rates experienced this year, the
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
 
prospects for favorable inflation data, and a Federal Reserve seeking to avoid
significant economic weakness. While the economy has demonstrated greater
resilience than expected, the rise in rates will certainly have an impact on
the interest-sensitive sectors of our economy. The consumer segment of our
economy, responsible for approximately 66% of GDP growth, has accumulated
considerable debt loads. Consequently, we believe the consumer is not in the
position to continue spending at the current pace. In a similar fashion,
manufacturing activity is impacted by an inability to push through price
increases, some accumulation of unwanted inventories, and a decline in exports
due to subdued European and Asian economies. Economic growth at the current
level is probably not enough to rekindle fears of a resurgence in inflation.
Bonds are attractive investment alternatives when inflation is low because
purchasing power does not suffer.
 
The Portfolio as of April 30, 1996 was composed of 70.7% Treasury issues,
14.4% corporate bonds, 1.9% overnight funds, 4.7% Yankee bonds, and 8.3%
mortgage passthrough securities. Portfolio composition changed during the
recent quarter by an increased weighting in the mortgage sector. The mortgage
sector performed relatively poorly during 1995, resulting in mortgage
passthrough securities' relative value increasing vis-a-vis corporate bonds
and Treasury issues. This sector continues to be attractive and will be added
to on a gradual basis. The rating of the Portfolio is AGENCY--an average
rating just below that of an all Treasury portfolio. The effective maturity is
8.2 years. The Portfolio duration is 4.8 years versus the benchmark index
duration of 5.0 years.
 
                      TS&W INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
 
The TS&W International Equity Portfolio had total net assets of $99,557,368 on
April 30, 1996. The TS&W International Equity Portfolio's total return was
6.72% for the quarter and 10.47% for the six months ended April 30, 1996.
EAFE, our benchmark index, returned 5.45% and 13.21% during those periods,
respectively.
 
The first quarter of the fiscal year was marked by increased concerns over the
slowdown of European economies. This led to profit taking in the better
performing markets of 1995, Sweden and Switzerland, with proceeds re-invested
in low interest rate markets like Japan, or markets with good probability of
lower interest rates, e.g., Hong Kong and Spain. On an industry level,
interest rate sensitive industries such as real estate and financial services
did well.
 
The best performing countries in the quarter were Japan, Spain, Singapore and
Hong Kong, in what can be best termed a liquidity rally. Emerging markets were
also strong as investors were emboldened by the New Year to diversify into
markets which had underperformed last year.
 
Over the last three months, EAFE was bolstered by Japan's strong performance.
Stocks in the financial sector led the rally in reaction to government action
on the real estate crisis. The Japanese market has been hobbled for years by
the after-effects of a massive real estate and stock market bubble during the
late 1980's. The government is finally attempting, via changes in the
regulatory system and significant monetary easing, to resolve the resultant
banking and property mess. The secondary effects from a weaker yen and
recovery from a prolonged recession will make profit growth comparisons very
favorable. Our stock emphasis continues to be with world class companies that
benefit from a weaker currency and from several years of restructuring. We are
also seeking stocks with more direct exposure to a recovering domestic
economy, for example, capital goods and transportation companies. Japan
continues to be our largest single country exposure at nearly 26% of equity
holdings.
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
In Europe we believe that interest rates must come down in order to keep the
economies from sputtering to a halt. Currently, economic growth is slowing,
unemployment is high, and consumer confidence is falling. Our overweight
positions in economically sensitive companies are maintained due to attractive
valuation attributes. In addition, accommodative monetary policies by most
European central bankers will lead to stronger economic conditions.
 
Positions in Asia excluding Japan have been boosted this quarter as valuation
measures in those markets continue to improve. Most of the Southeast Asian
economies have reined in growth to more sustainable, albeit comparatively
high, rates. As a result of these purchases, our cash position has been
reduced during the quarter to a 6% level, just about fully invested.
 
As Wall Street continues to establish record highs, the valuation differential
of U.S. versus foreign markets widens. We continue to believe that
international markets offer greater relative return prospects than the U.S.
market over the next several years.
 
CONCLUSION
 
While both domestic and international equity markets have produced strong
returns so far this year, interest rates have risen, and bond returns have
been negative. Stronger than expected economic reports have led to a more
volatile bond market, and the likelihood of further Fed easing has all but
disappeared. While we expect continued economic growth through 1996, earnings
gains are decelerating and the potential for inflationary pressures to build
and interest rates to increase exists. In this type of environment a defensive
investment posture is warranted.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds"), were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The TS&W Equity Portfolio, TS&W Fixed Income
Portfolio and TS&W International Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolios"),
portfolios of UAM Funds, Inc., began operations on July 17, 1992, July 17,
1992, and December 18, 1992, respectively. At April 30, 1996, the UAM Funds
were comprised of thirty-seven active portfolios. The financial statements of
the remaining portfolios are presented separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the
Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Generally
accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Equity securities listed on a United States
  securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are
  valued at the last quoted sales price as of the close of the exchange on
  the day the valuation is made or, if no sale occurred on such day, at the
  bid price on such day. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued
  at their closing price. Price information on listed securities is taken
  from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter
  and unlisted equity securities are valued at the current bid price. Fixed
  income securities are stated on the basis of valuations provided by brokers
  and/or a pricing service which uses information with respect to
  transactions in fixed income securities, quotations from dealers, market
  transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between
  securities in determining value. Short-term investments that have remaining
  maturities of sixty days or less at time of purchase are valued at
  amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The value of other assets
  and securities for which no quotations are readily available is determined
  in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of
  Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is each Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements. The TS&W International Equity Portfolio may be
  subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are
  generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The TS&W
  International Equity Portfolio accrues such taxes when the related income
  is earned.
 
  Undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain
  (loss) have been adjusted for prior year permanent book-tax differences.
  Reclassifications arose principally from differing book and tax treatments
  for foreign currency transactions.
 
  At April 30, 1996, cost of investments and unrealized appreciation
  (depreciation) of investments for Federal income tax purposes were:

   International Equity..............................      --    64,000   64,000
</TABLE>
 
  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolios' custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
  collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy
  of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase,
  the Portfolios have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
  proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or
  bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
  retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.
 
  4. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTION: The books and records of the TS&W
  International Equity Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment
  securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign
  currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the bid prices of such
  currencies against U.S. dollars last quoted by a major bank. The TS&W
  International Equity Portfolio does not isolate that portion of realized or
  unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange
  rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the
  securities. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
  represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from forward foreign
  currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency
  gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities
  transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income
  and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the TS&W International Equity
  Portfolio's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received
  or paid.
 
  5. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: The TS&W International
  Equity Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts
  to protect the value of securities held and related receivables and
  payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. A forward
  currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell
  currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the contract
  will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is
  marked-to-market daily using the forward rate and the change in market
  value is recorded by the TS&W International Equity Portfolio as unrealized
  gain or loss. The TS&W International Equity Portfolio recognizes realized
  gain or loss when the contract is closed, equal to the difference between
  the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the
  time it was closed. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from
  the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their
  contracts and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the
  contracts, if any, at the date of default. Risks may also arise from
  unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the
  U.S. dollar.
 
  6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The TS&W Equity Portfolio will normally
  distribute substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders
  quarterly. The TS&W Fixed Income Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders monthly. The
  TS&W International
 
                                      26

                                TS&W PORTFOLIOS
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
  Equity Portfolio will normally distribute substantially all of its net
  investment income to shareholders annually. Any realized net capital gains
  will normally be distributed annually for the Portfolios. All distributions
  are recorded on ex-dividend date.
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which
  may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences
  are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the
  recognition of gains or losses on investments; for the TS&W International
  Equity Portfolio, the reclassification of unrealized gains on certain
  securities designated as "passive foreign investment companies" for tax
  purposes and permanent differences as presented in Note A2.
 
  7. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the date
  the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
  on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
  except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon
  as the TS&W International Equity Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend
  date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Discounts and
  premiums on securities purchased are amortized over their respective lives.
  Most expenses of UAM Funds can be directly attributed to a particular
  portfolio. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
  among the portfolios of UAM Funds based on their relative net assets.
  Additionally, certain expenses are apportioned among the portfolios of UAM
  Funds and AEW Commercial Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an
  affiliated closed-end management investment company, based on their
  relative net assets. Custodian fees for each Portfolio have been increased
  to include expense offsets for custodian balance credits.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement,
Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley, Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of United Asset Management Corporation (UAM), provides investment advisory
services to the Portfolios for a fee calculated at an annual rate of average
daily net assets, as follows:

(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion. The fees are

allocated among the portfolios of UAM Funds and AEW on the basis of their
relative net assets and are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per
portfolio which rises from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a portfolio, to
$70,000 annually after two years. For Portfolios with more than one class of
shares, the minimum annual fee increases to $90,000. In addition, the
Administrator receives a Portfolio-specific monthly fee of 0.06%, 0.04% and
0.06% of average daily net assets for the TS&W Equity Portfolio, TS&W Fixed
Income Portfolio and TS&W International Equity Portfolio, respectively. Also
effective April 15, 1996, the Administrator has entered into a Mutual Funds
Service Agreement with Chase Global Funds Services Company ("CGFSC"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., under which CGFSC
agrees to provide certain services, including but not limited to,
administration, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services. Pursuant to the Mutual Funds Service Agreement, the Administrator
pays CGFSC a monthly fee.
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator, CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined aggregate average
daily net assets of UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20% of the first $200
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.08% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but less than $3 billion; plus
0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion.
 
For the period April 15, 1996 to April 30, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
earned $4,995, $3,917 and $6,416 from TS&W Equity Portfolio, TS&W Fixed Income
Portfolio and TS&W International Equity Portfolio, respectively, as

G. LINE OF CREDIT: The Portfolios, along with certain other portfolios of UAM
Funds, collectively entered into an agreement which enables them to
participate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit with several banks.
Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of
portfolio shares. Interest is charged to each participating portfolio based on
its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.75%.
In addition, a commitment fee of 1/10th of 1% per annum, payable at the end of
each calendar quarter, is accrued by each participating portfolio based on
their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. During the period
ended April 30, 1996, there were no borrowings under the agreement.
 
H. OTHER: At April 30, 1996, the percentage of total shares outstanding held
by record shareholders owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares
outstanding for each Portfolio was as follows:

At April 30, 1996, the net assets of the TS&W International Equity Portfolio
was substantially comprised of foreign denominated securities and/or currency.
Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of and investment
income from such securities.
 
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations
and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated
transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibly lower level of
governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the
possibility of political or economic instability.

                        MCKEE U.S. GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO
 
 
The first quarter saw Gross Domestic Product expand 2.3%, faster than most
people anticipated. The four main areas of strength that accounted for the
gain were consumer spending, housing, durable goods and government
expenditures. Going forward, we believe growth will wane allowing interest
rates to eventually decline in response to lower inflation.
 
Consumer spending was up 3.5% during the first quarter from a very weak fourth
quarter. However, several things happened that will affect spending for the
balance of the year. First, tax refunds received and spent during this time
period will not be repeated. Second, Easter was early this year, increasing
first quarter consumer spending. Third, consumers were reacting to the
positive impact of lower monthly payments resulting from refinancing their
mortgages. Fourth, consumer debt surged during the first quarter at the very
time interest rates climbed over 100 basis point.
 
Housing should also slow after a robust first quarter. Thirty-year fixed rate
mortgages soared from a low of 6.9% at year end to a rate of over 8%. This
increase should negatively influence the rate of home sales. Evidence of this
was seen on April 29th when the government announced that new housing sales
for March fell 7.6% from February's revision of a negative 0.3%. The durable
goods sector were also strong in the first quarter. The primary driver was the
sale of aircraft. Certain other items, such as the sale of computers, were
also strong but foreign trade weakened due to a stronger dollar. Finally,
government spending should be stronger going forward since 1996 is an election
year. Prior to the signing of the budget, some Federal Government departments
were spending only 75% of their allocations. In coming months they will be
permitted to increase their spending.
 
PERFORMANCE
 
For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio had a return of -1.28%
versus 0.04% for the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Index. The primary
factor hurting results was that the Portfolio's duration was longer than the
Index. Agency issues also contributed to the negative performance while
mortgage securities helped performance as higher rates diminished the threat
of prepayments.
 
PORTFOLIO STRUCTURE
 
The Portfolio maintained a large holding in domestic treasury securities with
a weighting of over 58% at April 30, 1996 versus 66% for the Lehman Brothers
Government/Corporate Index. To achieve a higher yield, the Portfolio held
various federal agency issues resulting in a weighting of about 11% compared
to 10% for the Index. The remaining 31% was distributed as follows: 20% in
mortgages, 6% in corporates, 3% in Asset-Backed, and 2% in cash. The Index
does not hold mortgages or cash while corporates account for 24%.
 
The following is a breakdown of the Portfolio by category as of April 30,
1996.

FIXED INCOME STRATEGY
 
The Portfolio continues to be structured to benefit from lower interest rates.
During the second quarter we significantly increased the duration of the
Portfolio. This lengthening was based on the belief that interest rates are
eventually headed lower as consumer spending slows due to rising consumer debt
levels, weakening housing sales and continuing signs of low inflation.

                        MCKEE DOMESTIC EQUITY PORTFOLIO
 
Equities continued to perform well during the first quarter. From an
historical perspective, the current bull market is now one of the longest and
strongest of this century, exceeded only in the 1920s and 1950s. The ongoing
advance has also been remarkably steady as indicated by the fact that there
has not been a correction of 10% or more since 1990, a record for the U.S.
market. With volatility so limited, and performance so outstanding, many
investors have become complacent with respect to the risks of equity
investing. In our judgment, this is a mistake. Volatility has always been a
part of the investment process and should not be underestimated. Indeed, we
would not be surprised if it increased significantly over the next several
years.
 
PERFORMANCE
 
During the six months ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio return was 14.24%
versus 13.76% for the S&P 500 Index. Results were positively influenced by
large weightings in some of the better performing industries such as
healthcare, regional banks, computer software and specialty retailing as well
as by a significant underweighting in electric utilities which were extremely
weak during the period. On the minus side, positions in poor performing groups
such as electronics, insurance, paper and forest products penalized
performance. Results earlier in the period were hurt by the Portfolio's
exposure to smaller and middle capitalization stocks as well as by its
emphasis on cyclically sensitive issues. More recently, these same exposures
have begun to contribute meaningfully to the Portfolio's performance.
 
On an individual stock basis, the Portfolio benefited substantially from the
strong performance exhibited by Sterling Software, Dayton Hudson, American
Home Products, Becton Dickinson and CIGNA. Results were negatively affected by
positions in Avid Technology, FTP Software, GAP Inc., Advanced Micro Devices
and Systems and Computer Technology which were poor performers during the six
months.
 
PORTFOLIO STRUCTURE
 
The Portfolio remains invested in all economic sectors and capitalization
segments of the U.S. market. It also has a representation in international
stocks in the form of American Depositary Receipts which are traded in U.S.
dollars. Within this diversified context, the Portfolio has a meaningful
position in stocks characterized by consumer and industrial cyclicality. This
strategy is based on the attractive value and earnings momentum features of
these securities in addition to their superior relative performance prospects
if the economy continues to expand in the coming year.
 
With regard to industry positions, the Portfolio has large holdings in
telecommunications, computer software, banks, retailing and producer goods. It
has a low representation in services, electric utilities, chemicals,
construction and transportation. The following table lists the ten largest
industry positions as of April 30, 1996.

OUTLOOK
 
Even though we believe at least one meaningful market decline is probable
during 1996-1997, we expect a favorable equity environment over the next 12 to
18 months. This is in line with our forecasts for continued growth in
corporate earnings, cash flows and dividends. It also reflects our belief that
stocks are reasonably valued at the present time. From a stock selection
standpoint, we continue to emphasize statistically cheap securities with
improving earnings momentum. In our judgment, many of the most attractive
current investment opportunities are in small and middle capitalization stocks
as well as in the basic industry, consumer cyclical, and technology sectors of
the market.

Moderate global economic expansion is likely to continue over the coming year.
By the second half of 1997, worldwide growth should become increasingly
synchronous with the world economy showing its greatest strength since 1988.
Indeed, we expect 2.5% to 3% GDP growth next year for both Europe and Japan
while non-Japan Asia and Latin America should achieve vigorous expansions of
7% to 8% and 4% to 5%, respectively. Despite this transition to more rapid
growth, global inflation rates are expected to remain relatively low in
industrialized nations with Europe averaging under 3% and Japan staying below
1%. In non-Japan Asia, inflation should range between 6% and 12% again next
year. In Latin America, inflation should improve but still run at
unsatisfactory rates in countries such as Venezuela, Mexico and Brazil. Given
this environment, we expect interest rates to remain stable, or even decline
somewhat, in most major world markets.
 
PERFORMANCE
 
For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio achieved a return of
9.72% compared with 13.21% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International
Europe, Australia and Far East Index (EAFE Index).
 
Results were helped by large weightings in France, Spain, Ireland and Hong
Kong, all of which performed very well. On the negative side, results were
hurt by positions in Finland, Germany and the United Kingdom which generated
below-average performance.
 
On an industry basis, the Portfolio benefited from significant positions in
energy, industrial components, data processing, chemicals and metals. In
contrast, performance was negatively affected by holdings in certain weaker
industries including insurance, food, household products and utilities.
 
With regard to stock selection, the Portfolio was helped significantly by
excellent performance from Elan Corporation (Ireland), Coflexip (France),
Mitsui Fire and Marine (Japan), Sony (Japan) and Bayer (Germany). It was hurt
by several positions in underperforming issues including Carlton
Communications, (United Kingdom), Pohang Iron and Steel (Korea), Nokia
(Finland), LG Electronics (Korea) and Montedison (Italy).
 
PORTFOLIO STRUCTURE
 
Our disciplined equity selection process continues to focus on stocks with low
price-earnings ratios, low price-cash flow ratios and low price-book value
ratios as well as on securities with improving earnings momentum. This
combination of attributes has historically produced strong investment
performance, and we firmly believe it may generate excellent results in future
years.
 
As of April 30, 1996, the Portfolio was invested in 19 countries with
especially large positions relative to the EAFE Index in Canada, Korea, Spain,
Mexico, China and Argentina. Japan remains the largest country position even
though the Portfolio is significantly underweighted in Japan versus the EAFE
Index. Other substantially underweighted countries include Switzerland,
Malaysia and Sweden. The table below lists the top ten holdings by country.

While structured to benefit from a gradual strengthening in the global
economy, the Portfolio remains broadly diversified. It is invested in all
economic sectors and most major industries with the largest positions relative
to the EAFE Index in energy, metals, chemicals, electronics, food, healthcare
and services. Underweighted industries include utilities, building materials,
construction, banking and insurance.

OUTLOOK
 
Although global stock market performance was uneven across countries in the
past six months, international equity results were reasonably strong. Over the
next year, we expect international equities to achieve continued favorable
performance as corporate earnings accelerate in most counties while inflation
and interest rates stay at low levels. The Portfolio, with its participation
in 19 worldwide markets, is well positioned to benefit from this favorable
environment.
 
                                                  Sincerely yours,
 
                                                  C.S. McKee & Co., Inc.

 
                     DEFINITION OF THE COMPARATIVE INDICES
                     -------------------------------------

The Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Index is an unmanaged index composed
of a combination of the Government and Corporate Bond Indices. The Government
Index includes public obligations of the U.S. Treasury, issues of Government
agencies, and corporate debt backed by the U.S. Government. The Corporate Bond
Index includes fixed-rate nonconvertible corporate debt. Also included are
Yankee bonds and nonconvertible debt issued by or guaranteed by foreign or
international governments and agencies. All issues are investment grade (BBB)
or higher, with maturities of at least one year and outstanding par value of
at least $100 million for U.S. Government issues and $25 million for others.
Any security downgraded during the month is held in the index until month-end
and then removed. All returns are market value weighted inclusive of accrued
income.
 
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index composed of 400 industrial, 40
financial, 40 utilities and 20 transportation stocks.
 
The Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index is an unmanaged index
composed of arithmetic, market value weighted averages of the performance of
over 900 securities listed on the stock exchanges of countries in Europe,
Australia and the Far East.
 
Comparisons of performance assume reinvestment of dividends.
 
Please note that one cannot invest in an unmanaged index.
 
The investment results presented in the Adviser's letter represent past
performance and should not be construed as a guarantee of future results.
Total returns would have been lower had certain fees not been waived or
expenses assumed by the Adviser for the McKee U.S. Government and McKee
Domestic Equity Portfolios. The investment return and principal value of an
investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be
worth more or less than their original cost. For a complete discussion of the
risks associated with international investing, please refer to the McKee
International Equity Portfolio's Prospectus.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds") were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The McKee U.S. Government Portfolio, McKee
Domestic Equity Portfolio and McKee International Equity Portfolio (the
"Portfolios"), portfolios of UAM Funds, Inc., began operations on March 2,
1995, March 2, 1995 and May 26, 1994, respectively. At April 30, 1996, the UAM
Funds were comprised of thirty-seven active portfolios. The financial
statements of the remaining portfolios are presented separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the
Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Generally
accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Equity securities listed on a United States
  securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are
  valued at the last quoted sales price as of the close of the exchange on
  the day the valuation is made or, if no sale occurred on such day, at the
  bid price on such day. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued
  at their closing price. Price information on listed securities is taken
  from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter
  and unlisted equity securities are valued at the current bid price. Fixed
  income securities are stated on the basis of valuations provided by brokers
  and/or a pricing service which uses information with respect to
  transactions in fixed income securities, quotations from dealers, market
  transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between
  securities in determining value. Short-term investments that have remaining
  maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are valued at
  amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The value of other assets
  and securities for which no quotations are readily available is determined
  in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of
  Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is each Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements. The McKee International Equity Portfolio may be
  subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are
  generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The McKee
  International Equity Portfolio accrues such taxes when related income is
  earned.
 
  Undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain have
  been adjusted for the McKee International Equity Portfolio for prior year
  permanent book-tax differences. Reclassifications arose principally from
  differing book and tax treatments for foreign currency transactions.

</TABLE>
 
  For the year ended October 31, 1995, the McKee International Equity
  Portfolio utilized capital loss carryforwards for Federal income tax
  purposes of approximately $23,000.
 
  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolios' custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
  collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy
  of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase,
  the Portfolios have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
  proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or
  bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
  retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.
 
  4. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: The books and records of the Mckee
  International Equity Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment
  securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign
  currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the bid prices of such
  currencies against U.S. dollars last quoted by a major bank. The McKee
  International Equity Portfolio does not isolate that portion of realized or
  unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange
  rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the
  securities. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
  represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from forward foreign
  currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency
  gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities
  transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income
  and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the McKee International Equity
  Portfolio's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received
  or paid.
 
  5. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: The McKee International
  Equity Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts
  to protect the value of securities held and related receivables and
  payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. A forward
  currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell
  currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the contract
  will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is
  marked-to-market daily using the forward rate and the change in market
  value is recorded by the McKee International Equity Portfolio as unrealized
  gain or loss. The McKee International Equity Portfolio recognizes realized
  gain or loss, when the contract is closed, equal to the difference between
  the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the
  time it was closed. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from
  the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their
  contracts and are generally limited to the
 
                                      29
<PAGE>
 
                               MCKEE PORTFOLIOS
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
  amount of unrealized gain on the contracts, if any, at the date of default.
  Risks may also arise from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign
  currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
  6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Each Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders quarterly.
  Any realized net capital gains will normally be distributed annually. All
  distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which
  may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences
  are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the
  recognition of losses on securities; for the McKee International Equity
  Portfolio, the reclassification of permanent differences as presented in
  Note A2.
 
  7. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the date
  the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
  on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
  except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon
  as the McKee International Equity Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend
  date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Most expenses of
  the UAM Funds can be directly attributed to a particular portfolio.
  Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the
  portfolios of the UAM Funds based on their relative net assets.
  Additionally, certain expenses are apportioned among the portfolios of the
  UAM Funds and AEW Commercial Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an
  affiliated closed-end management investment company, based on their
  relative net assets. Custodian fees for each Portfolio have been increased
  to include expense offsets for custodian balance credits.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement,
C.S. McKee & Co., Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of United
Asset Management Corporation (UAM), provides investment advisory services to
the Portfolios for a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.45%, 0.65% and
0.70% of average daily net assets for the McKee U.S. Government, Domestic
Equity and International Equity Portfolios, respectively. Effective March 1,
1996, the Adviser has discontinued waiving a portion of its advisory fees and
assuming expenses for the McKee U.S. Government and McKee Domestic Equity
Portfolios. Prior to March 1, 1996, the Adviser had voluntarily agreed to
waive a portion of its advisory fees and to assume expenses, if necessary, in
order to keep the Portfolios' total annual operating expenses, after the
effect of expense offset arrangements, from exceeding 0.85% and 1.00% of
average daily net assets for the McKee U.S. Government and McKee Domestic
Equity Portfolios, respectively.
 
C. ADMINISTRATION SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined aggregate net assets in
excess of $3 billion. The fees are allocated among the portfolios of the UAM
Funds and AEW on the basis of their relative net assets and are subject to a
graduated minimum fee schedule per portfolio which rises from $2,000 per
month, upon inception of a portfolio, to $70,000 annually after two years. For
Portfolios with more than one class of shares, the minimum annual fee
increases to $90,000. In addition, the Administrator receives a Portfolio-
specific monthly fee of 0.04%, 0.04%, and 0.06% of average daily net assets
for the McKee U.S. Government Portfolio, McKee Domestic Equity Portfolio, and
McKee International Equity Portfolio, respectively. Also effective April 15,
1996, the Administrator has entered into a Mutual Funds Service Agreement with
Chase Global Funds Services Company ("CGFSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., under which CGFSC agrees to provide certain
services, including but not limited to, administration, fund accounting,
dividend disbursing and transfer agent services. Pursuant to the Mutual Funds
Service Agreement, the Administrator pays CGFSC a monthly fee.
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined aggregate average
daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20% of the first $200
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.08% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but less than $3 billion; plus
0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion.
 
For the period April 15, 1996 to April 30, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
earned the following amounts from the Portfolios as Administrator:

Purchases and sales of long-term U.S. Government and agency securities were
$16,437,000 and $2,054,000, respectively, for the McKee U.S. Government
Portfolio. There were no purchases and sales of long-term U.S. Government and
agency securities for the McKee Domestic Equity and the McKee International
Equity Portfolios.
 
F. DIRECTORS' FEES: Each Director, who is not an officer or affiliated person,
receives $2,000 per meeting attended, which is allocated proportionally among
the active portfolios of UAM Funds and AEW, plus a quarterly retainer of $150
for each active portfolio of the UAM Funds and AEW, and reimbursement of
expenses incurred in attending Board meetings.
 
G. LINE OF CREDIT: The McKee International Equity Portfolio, along with
certain other portfolios of UAM Funds, collectively entered into an agreement
which enables them to participate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit
with several banks. Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the
repurchase of portfolio shares. Interest is charged to each participating
portfolio based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate plus 0.75%. In addition, a commitment fee of 1/10th of 1% per
annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued by each
participating portfolio based on their average daily unused portion of the
line of credit. During the period ended April 30, 1996, there were no
borrowings under the agreement.
 
H. OTHER: At April 30, 1996, the percentage of total shares outstanding held
by record shareholders owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares

At April 30, 1996, the net assets of the McKee International Equity Portfolio
was substantially comprised of foreign denominated securities and/or currency.
Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of and investment
income from such securities.
 
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations
and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated
transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibly lower level of
governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the
possibility of political or economic instability.

May, 1996
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
During the six months ended April 30, 1996 the U.S. stock market continued to
set new highs, and both the NWQ Balanced and NWQ Value Equity Portfolios
produced strongly positive results. We appreciate the confidence that all of
our shareholders have placed in us and will continue to work to justify that
confidence.
 
BALANCED PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE
 
During the six months ended April 30, 1996, the NWQ Balanced Portfolio
Institutional Class Shares gained 8.13%, including 20.5 cents of dividends
paid, and the Institutional Service Class Shares gained 3.54% (since inception
on January 22, 1996) including 5 cents of dividend income paid. This
performance was slightly above that of the Lipper Balanced Funds Index which
rose 7.78% for the six months and 3.36% since January 23, 1996. The composite
balanced index composed of 60% S&P 500 Index, 30% Lehman Brothers
Government/Corporate Index, and 10% Salomon Brothers 3-month Treasury Bill
Average was up 8.53% for the six months and 3.64% since January 23, 1996. The
individual benchmark returns, for the six months and since January 23, 1996,
respectively, were S&P 500 Index 13.76% and 7.42%, Lehman Brothers
Government/Corporate Index 0.04% and-3.06%, and Salomon Brothers 3-month
Treasury Bill Average 2.62% and 1.37%.
 
Performance results for the NWQ Balanced Portfolio benefited from the strong
overall stock market. NWQ's common stock holdings, which emphasize industrial
and capital spending industries, responded favorably to signs of greater
economic growth and fading recession fears. The strong equity results were
offset partially by the weaker bond market. The signs of stronger economic
growth, which helped equity holdings, have negatively impacted the bond market
over the last several months. NWQ had reduced the maturity of the portfolio's
bond holdings in September of 1995, thereby reducing the potential negative
impact of the recent rise of interest rates. Currently, the Portfolio has
approximately 15% in cash and equivalents which we intend to selectively
invest as opportunities present themselves.
 
VALUE EQUITY PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE
 
For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the NWQ Value Equity Portfolio had a
total return of 15.93% versus 13.76% for the S&P 500. Performance results also
exceeded those of the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index which rose 12.42%
during the same period.
 
Boosted by an avalanche of dollars flowing into equity mutual funds, the major
stock market averages continue to rise strongly. 1996 has seen a dramatic
increase in the level of stock investment, with the three highest months ever
of mutual fund contributions occurring in January, February, and March of
1996. When combined with the strong merger activity and share repurchases by
corporations, the result has been a very favorable supply/demand relationship
for common stocks. This has allowed stocks to de-couple from long-term bonds
which suffered one of their worst declines in nearly a decade as investors
began to discount both a less favorable political outcome for the budget
battle and a surprisingly sharp improvement in 1996's economic outlook.
Performance results for the Portfolio benefited from the strong overall equity
market and the improved economic outlook which favored the capital
goods/export orientation of NWQ's equity holdings.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
 
For the past two years the outlook for the U.S. economy has called for a "soft
landing," wherein the pace of business would slow just enough to keep
inflation in check while expanding fast enough to avoid recession and keep
profits at high and growing levels. Evidence confirming this outlook has been
well received by investors, prompting stellar returns for both stock and bond
markets in 1995. More recent data seem to have called into question the
accuracy of this long held view. Six months ago the general debate was, at
most, a soft landing versus a modest, short and shallow recession. More recent
data have served only to widen the divergence between forecasters. Depending
upon the pundit selected, the economy is now heading into sharp recession or
on the verge of an expansion boom. The recession camp had been gaining support
with commodity pricing weak, industrial production declining, auto sales
sluggish, consumer installment debt mounting, retail department store sales
faltering and inventories mounting. The release of the February employment
report, showing the economy adding 705,000 new jobs and unemployment falling
to 5.5%, created tremendous confusion about the direction of the economy. It
has also reverberated through the financial markets, prompting a rapid rise in
long term interest rates.
 
There may be a tendency to overreact to each new bit of economic data that
emerges from government reports. While the recession/boom debate may continue
for some time, the suddenly "old" forecast of a soft landing remains the most
proper one, given the overall picture. Central banks have been gradually
relaxing monetary policy around the world, even if the pace has been too slow
for some critics. Incomes and profits continue to rise, albeit slowly.
Productivity improvements remain in evidence throughout the economy. The U.S.
trade picture is improving. All these factors suggest that recession will be
avoided. At the same time, the chance of an economic boom emerging soon, with
attendant inflation pressures and sharply rising interest rates, seems remote.
The U.S. remains in the midst of an inventory cycle. In prior cycles the
inventory destocking process has always continued until short term interest
rates have fallen by at least 200 basis points (a basis point is .01%). In the
current cycle short rates have fallen by only 75 basis points. Inflation fears
are perpetual but the reality is that inflation remains subdued. The CPI is
widely acknowledged to overstate inflation. However, even by this measure
inflation has been under 3% for the last four years. It may take some time for
recession fears and "growth scares" to diminish. On balance we expect growth
will accelerate modestly over the last half of 1996. Should inflation remain
in check, both short and long term interest notes will decline again in due
course.
 
FINANCIAL MARKETS
 
Financial markets appear to have entered a more turbulent phase. Fixed income
markets are clearly in correction. Equity markets, boosted by the continued
avalanche of dollars into mutual funds, have rallied to new highs. The
strength of the stock market in 1996 has caught many by surprise after the
large gains posted in 1995. At some point the stock market will also enter a
correction/consolidation phase, although the timing is clearly impossible to
predict. Given the magnitude of the market's rise over the past 2-3 years,
investors should not be surprised if a correction appears at any moment.
Provided that the inflation remains under control, however, any overall market
correction is unlikely to surpass the 7%-10% range. The longer term outlook
for financial assets remains generally favorable. While the long term picture
is benign there may be increased volatility in the short run. This has the
potential to unnerve some investors, particularly those who have only been in
the stock market for a few years. Over the past three years the U.S. stock
market has been notable not only for rising to record heights, but also for
demonstrating little volatility. For much of its history, during each year the
market has typically experienced 10%-15% swings between its high and low
marks. Only a decade ago a 10% correction was considered "normal". Not
pleasant, of course, but surely not unusual. The stability of prices over the
past few
 
                                       2

years may represent the beginning of a new trend, or it may also be an
anomaly. Without a crystal ball one cannot predict things of this nature, but
prudence and respect for history suggests to us that investors should be
prepared for a more volatile market over the next few years, with 5%-15%
swings becoming more common.
 
Within the structure of the equity market there is another powerful trend in
evidence. It has received less media coverage but merits the attention of long
term investors. Something is happening in the mid 1990s that did not happen
during comparable periods in the mid 1960s and mid 1980s. Industrial and
producer cyclical stocks are outperforming consumer cyclical stocks. This
recent outperformance has persisted both during the period of Federal Reserve
tightening starting in early 1994 and during the more recent period of Fed
easing in 1995-96. The primary reason for this trend is that capital is being
substituted for labor at an increasing rate. We believe this trend will
continue for some time. The reason for the trend is simple. Capital is cheap
and labor is expensive.
 
Since 1986 labor wages in the U.S. have risen 4% and associated benefit costs
have climbed more than 5% annually. The figures are generally higher for
industrialized Europe and Japan. Capital goods costs have risen only 2%
annually over this same period. The price of technological capital goods has
been in an outright decline, as any computer buyer well knows. The ongoing
shift in relative costs has prompted business to make the logical decision. In
manufacturing, the capital-stock-to-labor has been rising at a 3.1% since
1988, up from 2% over the prior two decades. In retail trade, the rate has
climbed to 3.7% from 1.4%.
 
As long as this trend remains in place it has several reinforcing aspects in
the economy. Job and wage growth tend to fall below trend. Consumption growth
is subdued. Consumers are resistant to higher prices. Companies closest to the
consumer have little pricing power and hence will not grant large wage gains.
Seeking growth with stagnant revenues, cost cutting becomes a management
obsession. The major cost for most companies is, of course, labor, which
accounts for about 65% of the total cost of production. At the same time,
productivity improves. This allows for modest overall GDP growth, rising
exports and subdues inflation.
 
No trend can last forever, but we believe the current capital for labor trend
still has a long way to go. So long as it persists, and we believe it will
until the cost of capital at least approaches the cost of labor at the margin,
industrial and capital goods companies in general will enjoy better pricing
flexibility, higher margins, better returns on investment and better earnings
growth than consumer oriented companies. Over time this should be noticed by
investors, who should respond accordingly.
 
Sincerely,
 
NWQ Investment Management Company

The investment results presented in the Adviser's letter represent past
performance and should not be construed as a guarantee of future results. If
the Adviser did not have temporary fee waivers and did not assume expenses on
behalf of the Portfolios, total returns for the Portfolios would have been
lower. The investment return and principal value of an investment will
fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or
less than their original cost.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds") were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The NWQ Balanced Portfolio and NWQ Value
Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolios"), portfolios of UAM Funds, Inc., began
operations on August 2, 1994 and September 21, 1994, respectively. The
Portfolios are authorized to offer two separate classes of shares--
Institutional Class Shares and Institutional Service Class Shares. As of the
date of this report, only the NWQ Balanced Portfolio has issued Institutional
Service Class Shares. At April 30, 1996, the UAM Funds were comprised of
thirty-seven active portfolios. The financial statements of the remaining
portfolios are presented separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the
Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Generally
accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Securities listed on a securities exchange for which
  market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sales
  price as of the close of the exchange on the day the valuation is made or,
  if no sale occurred on such day, at the bid price on such day. Price
  information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the
  security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter and unlisted securities are
  valued at the current bid price. Fixed income securities are stated on the
  basis of valuations provided by brokers and/or a pricing service which uses
  information with respect to transactions in fixed income securities,
  quotations from dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and
  various relationships between securities in determining values. Short-term
  investments that have remaining maturities of sixty days or less at time of
  purchase are valued at amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The
  value of other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily
  available is determined in good faith at fair value using methods
  determined by the Board of Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is each Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements.
 
  At April 30, 1996, cost of investments and unrealized appreciation
  (depreciation) of investments for Federal income tax purposes were:

</TABLE>
 
  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolios' custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase
 
                                      19

                                NWQ PORTFOLIOS
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)

  transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is
  marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy of the
  collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the
  Portfolios have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
  proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or
  bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
  retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.
 
  4. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Each Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all of its net investment income monthly. Any realized net
  capital gains will normally be distributed annually. All distributions are
  recorded on ex-dividend date.
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which
  may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  5. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the date
  the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
  on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
  Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums
  on securities purchased are amortized over their respective lives. Most
  expenses of the UAM Funds can be directly attributed to a particular
  portfolio. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
  among the portfolios of the UAM Funds based on their relative net assets.
  Additionally, certain expenses are apportioned among the portfolios of the
  UAM Funds and AEW Commercial Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an
  affiliated closed-end management investment company, based on their
  relative net assets. Custodian fees for each Portfolio have been increased
  to include expense offsets for custodian balance credits. Income expenses
  (other than class specific expenses) and realized and unrealized gains and
  losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon their relative net
  assets.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement, NWQ
Investment Management Company (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment advisory
services to the Portfolios at a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.70% of
each Portfolio's average daily net assets. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed
to waive a portion of its advisory fees and to assume expenses, if necessary,
in order to keep the Portfolios' total annual operating expenses, after the
effect of expense offset arrangements, from exceeding 1.00% of average daily
net assets for the Portfolios' Institutional Class Shares and 1.40% of average
daily net assets for the NWQ Balanced Portfolio's Institutional Service Class
Shares until February 28, 1997.
 
C. ADMINISTRATION SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion.

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
 
The fees are allocated among the portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW on the
basis of their relative net assets and are subject to a graduated minimum fee
schedule per portfolio which rises from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a
portfolio, to $70,000 annually after two years. For Portfolios with more than
one class of shares, the minimum annual fee increases to $90,000. In addition,
the Administrator receives a Portfolio-specific monthly fee of 0.06% and 0.04%
of average daily net assets for the NWQ Balanced Portfolio and NWQ Value
Equity Portfolio, respectively. Also effective April 15, 1996, the
Administrator has entered into a Mutual Funds Service Agreement with Chase
Global Funds Services Company ("CGFSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., under which CGFSC agrees to provide certain
services, including but not limited to, administration, fund accounting,
dividend disbursing and transfer agent services. Pursuant to the Mutual Funds
Service Agreement, the Administrator pays CGFSC a monthly fee.
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined aggregate average
daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20% of the first $200
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.08% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but less than $3 billion; plus
0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion.
 
For the period April 15, 1996 to April 30, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
earned $4,067 and $2,971 from NWQ Balanced Portfolio and NWQ Value Equity
Portfolio, respectively, as Administrator.
 
D. DISTRIBUTION SERVICES: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc., (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolios. The
NWQ Balanced Portfolio has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the
"Plans") on behalf of the Institutional Service Class Shares pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Plans, the NWQ
Balanced Portfolio may not incur distribution or service costs which exceed an
annual rate of 0.75% of the NWQ Balanced Portfolio's net assets. The Board has
currently limited aggregate payments under the Plans to 0.50% per annum of the
NWQ Balanced Portfolio's net assets. Under the Service Plan, the NWQ Balanced
Portfolio reimburses the Distributor or the Service Agent for payments made at
an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the
Institutional Service Class Shares owned by clients of such Service Agents.
The Distributor does not receive any fee or other compensation with respect to
the Value Equity Portfolio.
 
E. PURCHASES AND SALES: For the period ended April 30, 1996, purchases and
sales of investment securities other than long-term U.S. Government and short-
term securities were:

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
 
F. DIRECTORS' FEES: Each Director, who is not an officer or affiliated person,
receives $2,000 per meeting attended, which is allocated proportionally among
the active portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW, plus a quarterly retainer of
$150 for each active portfolio of the UAM Funds and AEW, and reimbursement of
expenses incurred in attending board meetings.
 
G. LINE OF CREDIT: The Portfolios, along with certain other portfolios of UAM
Funds, collectively entered into an agreement which enables them to
participate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit with several banks.
Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of
portfolio shares. Interest is charged to each participating portfolio based on
its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.75%.
In addition, a commitment fee of 1/10th of 1% per annum, payable at the end of
each calendar quarter, is accrued by each participating portfolio based on
their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. During the period
ended April 30, 1996, there were no borrowings under the agreement.
 
H. OTHER: Transactions in capital shares for the Portfolios, by class, were as

To Our Shareholders:
 
                  OVERVIEW OF ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS
 
The most notable change over the past six months in the financial market
environment has been the "de-coupling" of the stock and bond markets. Both
markets surged strongly upward for most of 1995. But more recently, the bond
market has weakened substantially while the stock market has continued to post
attractive returns, albeit not quite as strong as the returns of 1995. Though
this is somewhat unusual, it is not unprecedented. Sometimes the promise of
stronger corporate earnings causes investors to ignore rising interest rates
and continue to pour money into stock purchases. That is certainly the case
now. In spite of a sharp 100 basis point rise in long-term interest rates
since January 1, 1996, cash flowing into stock mutual funds continues to set
records. As a result, stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, have posted a
very attractive 13.76% return over the six months ended April 30, 1996. This
compares to a roughly zero percent return for bonds as measured by the Lehman
Brothers Government/Corporate Index.
 
We have been surprised by the resiliency of corporate profits to date. Through
cost cutting, corporations in aggregate have been able to offset the effects
of a sluggish economy. However, there is a limit to how long this phenomenon
can last. Rising interest rates have a negative effect on economic activity
and, thus, corporate profits. The higher interest rates rise, the more one has
to question the sustainability of corporate profitability, particularly since
the current level of profitability is near record highs. Something has to
give. Either the bond market has to stabilize and begin to move up again
(i.e., interest rates begin to move back down), or the stock market will begin
to move down.
 
Our position is one of modest caution. We take comfort in the fact that
inflation remains under control. As long as this holds true, we don't expect
interest rates to rise much further.
 
We do believe, however, that careful security selection is very important in
this uncertain environment. Not all companies and industries will weather this
storm equally well. As a result, we are focusing on quality in our stock and
bond selections.
 
                             FIXED INCOME OVERVIEW
 
In response to a weak economic environment in the fourth quarter of 1995, the
Federal Reserve lowered the overnight borrowing cost in late January for the
second time in two months to a level of 5.25%. Chairman Greenspan termed this
lowering of rates "preventative insurance" for the economy. This accommodation
was initially greeted with enthusiasm by the financial markets as both the
stock and bond markets rose to new highs in early February. Since that time,
however, the bond market has been under constant pressure.
 
In mid-February the bond market became deluged with a steady stream of
negative events. First, the deficit reduction talks were postponed by Congress
and the Administration until after the fall elections. Next, the markets were
hit with a significant rise in most agricultural prices due to a very poor
winter growing season. Higher grain prices coupled with intentionally low oil
inventories by the refiners have resulted in a significant rise in most of the
major commodity indices. Heightened inflationary concerns and a firming of
personal

consumption in the first quarter of this year have resulted in a substantial
rise of approximately 100 basis points in interest rates on bonds with
maturities ranging from two to thirty years.
 
We are mindful of the challenging events described above but believe that the
negative reaction in the bond market has been overblown. While there is little
doubt that the economy is growing at a stronger pace compared to a very slow
1995, we expect that on balance the Gross Domestic Product this year will
increase at a rate of 2.5% to 3.0%. Gauges of future inflation such as
precious metals prices and the Columbia Business School's leading inflation
index have actually been declining in recent months.
 
Looking forward, we are cautiously optimistic that interest rates should peak
near current levels and decline in the second half of this year. We believe
the sharp rise in interest rates and commodity prices should have a dampening
impact upon economic activity. A great deal of negative news has been factored
into interest rates and as such we believe that bonds represent an attractive
investment at current yields.
 
                           BALANCED PORTFOLIO REVIEW
 
Our strategy over the past six months has been to gradually raise equity
exposure in the Sterling Partners' Balanced Portfolio, and we are now close to
our 60% target. Importantly, we accomplished this without "throwing caution to
the wind." Rather, we were very methodical and careful. We raised equity
exposure by investing in carefully-selected, high-quality companies which we
hope will do well in the currently unsettled market environment. Examples of
recent additions include Tyson Foods, St. Jude Medical, Ingersoll-Rand,
Russell Corporation, and Silicon Graphics.
 
As noted earlier, inflation remains under control. As long as this remains
true, we believe bonds will offer reasonably attractive returns. Thus, in the
fixed income portion of the Portfolio, we currently have an average duration
of 5.7 years, which is roughly in line with that of the Lehman Brothers
Government/Corporate Index. Bond selection is heavily slanted toward
government issues and high-quality corporate bonds.
 
Our focus on quality in both stock and bond selections is beginning to pay
off. For the six month period ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio's return was
7.83%. This modestly exceeded the 7.53% return of the Balanced Index (50% S&P
500 Index with income, 45% Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate
Index, and 5% Salomon Brothers 3-month Treasury bills). Individually, the S&P
500 Index had a total return during this period of 13.76%, the Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Government/Corporate Index had a total return of 1.16% and the
Salomon Brothers 3-month Treasury Bills had a total return of 2.62%.
 
                            EQUITY PORTFOLIO REVIEW
 
For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the performance of the S&P 500 Index
was led by the retail sector which rebounded sharply after several years of
underperformance. Also, the manufacturing sector did well, especially the
auto-related companies within the sector. Both autos and retailers are
generally considered to be "early-cycle" stocks which typically do well in the
early stage of an economic recovery. As such, the strong performance of these
groups is confirmation of our view that a full-blown recession may be avoided.
 
 
                                       2

While there is no recession in sight and inflation remains under control,
there is still reason to be cautious. Interest rates have been rising, and
valuation levels are not compelling by historical standards.
 
Our view is that there continue to be attractive investment opportunities, but
that careful and diligent research is required to distinguish between the
opportunities and the traps. As we move forward, we fully expect the market to
pay an increasing premium for companies that offer strong fundamental
characteristics. Extensive company analysis will prove critical as earnings
disappointments are not likely to be tolerated. This environment plays into
our strength. Our approach to stock selection is based on rigorous fundamental
analysis.
 
Recall that last year we initiated some significant changes among the people
responsible for managing the Sterling Partners' Equity Portfolio. Since the
new equity team took over, we have been gradually restructuring the Portfolio.
Our emphasis throughout this process has been on quality. With the transition
now complete, we believe the Portfolio is very well-positioned for the
currently unsettled and uncertain market environment. Examples of recent
additions to the Portfolio include Tyson Foods, St. Jude Medical, Ingersoll-
Rand, Russell Corporation, and Silicon Graphics.
 
Importantly, our approach is beginning to pay off. For the six months ended
April 30, 1996, the Sterling Partners' Equity Portfolio posted a return of
14.95%. This exceeded the 13.76% return of the S&P 500 Index.
 
                   SHORT-TERM FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO REVIEW
 
The negative factors facing the fixed income market have depressed the returns
of the Sterling Partners' Short-Term Fixed Income Portfolio as well, but to a
slightly lesser degree. The total return of this Portfolio for the six months
ended April 30, 1996 has been 1.94% compared to a return of 2.10% for the
Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government Bond Index. The average duration of this
Portfolio has averaged approximately 1.8 years for the same six month period,
which is in line with the benchmark.
 
Incremental spreads related to non-U.S. Treasury securities continue to be
quite small. As a result, 60% of this Portfolio is invested in Treasury and
Agency securities, 36% in high grade corporate bonds and 4% in cash
equivalents and other net assets. Recently, we have begun to see an increasing
amount of new corporate issuance and anticipate adding more high-grade
corporate bonds to this Portfolio as incremental spreads widen in the future.
 
Looking forward, the yield on the two year Treasury note at 6.20% is
approximately 100 basis points higher than overnight money market rates. Given
our expectations of moderate economic growth and manageable inflation we
believe that the current level of interest rates is attractive. If interest
rates stabilize and commodity prices begin to decline, you should expect us to
begin to slightly extend the average duration of this Portfolio.
 
In closing, we would like to thank you for your continued confidence in
Sterling Capital Management.
 
Sincerely,
 
STERLING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

                    --------------------------------------
 
The Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Corporate Index is an unmanaged
index composed of a combination of the Government and Corporate Bond Indices.
All issues are investment grade (BBB) or higher, with maturities of one to ten
years and an outstanding par value of at least $100 million for U.S.

market value weighted inclusive of accrued income.
 
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index composed of 400 industrial, 40
financial, 40 utilities and 20 transportation stocks.
 
The Balanced Index, a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices, reflects
the Portfolio's neutral mix of 50% stocks, 45% bonds, and 5% short-term
instruments. This index combines returns from the S&P 500, Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Government/Corporate Index and the Salomon Brothers 3-month
Treasury Bill.

international governments and agencies. All issues are investment grade (BBB)
or higher, with maturities of at least one year and outstanding par value of
at least $100 million for U.S. Government issues and $25 million for others.
Any security downgraded during the month is held in the index until month-end
and then removed. All returns are market value weighted inclusive of accrued
income.
 
Please note that one cannot invest in an unmanaged index.
 
The investment results presented in the Adviser's letter represent past
performance and should not be construed as a guarantee of future results. If
the Adviser did not have temporary fee waivers on behalf of the Portfolio,
total return for the Sterling Partners' Equity and Sterling Partners' Short-
Term Fixed Income Portfolios would have been lower. The investment return and
principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares,
when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

                         STERLING PARTNERS' PORTFOLIOS
 
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds") were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The Sterling Partners' Balanced Portfolio,
Sterling Partners' Equity Portfolio and Sterling Partners' Short-Term Fixed
Income Portfolio (the "Portfolios"), portfolios of UAM Funds, Inc., began
operations on March 15, 1991, May 15, 1991 and February 10, 1992,
respectively. (The Portfolios are authorized to offer two separate classes of
shares--Institutional Class Shares and Institutional Service Class Shares. No
shares of the Portfolios' Institutional Service Class have been issued as of
the date of this report.) At April 30, 1996, the UAM Funds were comprised of
thirty-seven active portfolios. The financial statements of the remaining
portfolios are presented separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the
Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Generally
accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Equity securities listed on a securities exchange,
  over-the-counter and unlisted securities for which market quotations are
  readily available are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the close
  of the exchange on the day the valuation is made or, if no sale occurred on
  such day, at the mean of the bid and asked prices on such day. Price
  information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the
  security is primarily traded. Fixed income securities are stated on the
  basis of valuations provided by brokers and/or a pricing service which uses
  information with respect to transactions in fixed income securities,
  quotations from dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and
  various relationships between securities in determining value. Short-term
  investments that have remaining maturities of sixty days or less at time of
  purchase are valued at amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The
  value of other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily
  available is determined in good faith at fair value using methods
  determined by the Board of Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is each Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements.
 
  Paid in capital and undistributed net investment income have been adjusted
  for prior year permanent book-tax differences. Reclassifications arose
  principally from differing book and tax treatments for paydown losses on
  mortgage backed securities.
 
  At April 30, 1996, cost of investments and unrealized appreciation
  (depreciation) of investments for Federal income tax purposes were:

  At October 31, 1995, the following Portfolio had available an approximate
  capital loss carryover for Federal income tax purposes, which will expire

   Short-Term Fixed Income........................... $239,000 $145,000 $384,000
</TABLE>
 
  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolios' custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
  collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy
  of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase,
  the Portfolios have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
  proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or
  bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
  retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.
 
  4. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Each Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders quarterly
  for the Sterling Partners' Equity and Sterling Partners' Balanced
  Portfolios, and monthly for the Sterling Partners' Short-Term Fixed Income
  Portfolio. Any realized net capital gains will normally be distributed
  annually. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which
  may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences
  are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the
  recognition of gains or losses on investments and permanent differences as
  presented in Note A2.
 
  5. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the date
  the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
  on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
  Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums
  on securities purchased are amortized over their respective lives. Most
  expenses of the UAM Funds can be directly attributed to a particular
  portfolio. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
  among the portfolios of the UAM Funds based on their relative net assets.
  Additionally, certain expenses are apportioned among the portfolios of the
  UAM Funds and AEW Commercial Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an
  affiliated closed-end management investment company, based on their
  relative net assets. Custodian fees for each Portfolio have been increased
  to include expense offsets for custodian balance credits.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement,
Sterling Capital Management Company (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment advisory
services to the Portfolios at a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% of
average
 
                                      26

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)

daily net assets for the Sterling Partners' Balanced and Sterling Partners'
Equity Portfolios and 0.50% of average daily net assets for the Sterling
Partners' Short-Term Fixed Income Portfolio. The Adviser has voluntarily
agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fees and to assume expenses, if
necessary, in order to keep the Portfolios' total annual operating expenses,
after the effect of expense offset arrangements, from exceeding 1.11%, 0.99%
and 0.55% of average daily net assets, respectively.
 
C. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion. The fees are allocated among the
portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW on the basis of their relative net assets
and are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per portfolio which rises
from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a portfolio, to $70,000 annually
after two years. For Portfolios with more than one class of shares, the
minimum annual fee increases to $90,000. In addition, the Administrator
receives a Portfolio-specific monthly fee of 0.06%, 0.06% and 0.04% of average
daily net assets for Sterling Partners' Balanced Portfolio, Sterling Partners'
Equity Portfolio and Sterling Partners' Short-Term Fixed Portfolio,
respectively. Also effective April 15, 1996, the Administrator has entered
into a Mutual Funds Service Agreement with Chase Global Funds Services Company
("CGFSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., under
which CGFSC agrees to provide certain services, including but not limited to,
administration, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services. Pursuant to the Mutual Funds Service Agreement, the Administrator
pays CGFSC a monthly fee.
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined aggregate average
daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20% of the first $200
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.08% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but less than $3 billion; plus
0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion.
 
For the period April 15, 1996 to April 30, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
earned $4,576, $3,831 and $3,341 from Sterling Partners' Balanced Portfolio,
Sterling Partners' Equity Portfolio and Sterling Partners' Short-Term Fixed
Portfolio, respectively, as Administrator.
 
D. DISTRIBUTION SERVICES: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolios. The
Distributor does not receive any fee or other compensation with respect to the
Portfolios.

Purchases and sales of long-term U.S. Government and Agency securities were
approximately $8,210,000 and $8,892,000, respectively, for the Sterling
Partners' Balanced Portfolio, and $3,861,000 and $1,504,000, respectively, for
the Sterling Partners' Short-Term Fixed Income Portfolio. There were no
purchases and sales of long-term U.S. Government securities for the Sterling
Partners' Equity Portfolio.
 
F. DIRECTORS' FEES: Each Director, who is not an officer or affiliated person,
receives $2,000 per meeting attended, which is allocated proportionally among
the active portfolios of UAM Funds and AEW, plus a quarterly retainer of $150
for each active portfolio of the UAM Funds and AEW, and reimbursement of
expenses incurred in attending Board meetings.
 
G. LINE OF CREDIT: The Portfolios, along with certain other portfolios of the
UAM Funds, collectively entered into an agreement which enables them to
participate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit with several banks.
Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of
portfolio shares. Interest is charged to each participating portfolio based on
its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.75%.
In addition, a commitment fee of 1/10th of 1% per annum, payable at the end of
each calendar quarter, is accrued by each participating portfolio based on
their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. During the period
ended April 30, 1996, there were no borrowings under the agreement.
 
H. OTHER: At April 30, 1996, the percentage of total shares outstanding held
by record shareholders owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares

                 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

May 8, 1996
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
During the six month period ended April 30, 1996, the FMA Small Company
Portfolio returned 15.23% versus the equivalent return of 18.42% by the
Russell 2000 Index.
 
Sentiment shifted rather dramatically during this time period. Initially,
large capitalization stocks outperformed the small sector. However, by April,
small issues were outdistancing large ones, as the markets began to turn
towards economy sensitive areas of the economy. Financials and interest
sensitive stocks were outpaced by cyclicals and commodity related sectors of
the market. Interestingly, the Russell 2000 Index is more leveraged to an
economy sensitive environment since it includes low weightings in consumer
staples and utilities stocks. Alternatively, the Russell 2000 Index has
material exposure to consumer cyclics, technology, and commodity basics,
groups that have been strong.
 
The Portfolio has been underweighted in technology during this time period,
which has contributed to performance pressures. However, buying points are
beginning to develop in companies that have strong franchises and earnings
power. We anticipate moving to a heavier investment in this sector in the
months ahead. We have increased our participation in the energy sector and
have reduced positions in interest sensitive stocks. These shifts over the
past two months have contributed to better tracking with the Russell 2000
Index. We anticipate further investment in consumer cyclics as buying
opportunities develop.
 
We believe the small issues will provide very competitive returns relative to
the large capitalization sector of the market over coming months. We are
positioned to participate in the upswing enjoyed by economy sensitive
industries. Our focus remains on the fundamental strength of each company's
earnings stream. We look forward to selecting stocks based on these
parameters.
 
Yours truly,
 
/s/ Patricia A. Falkowski                  (ART)             
                                                             
Patricia A. Falkowski                      Albert W. Gustafson
President & Chief Investment Officer       Portfolio Manager  
and Portfolio Manager                  
 
                      DEFINITION OF THE COMPARATIVE INDEX
 
The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index composed of the 2000 smallest
stocks in the Russell 3000, a market value weighted index of the 3,000 largest
U.S. publicly traded companies.
 
Comparisons of performance assume reinvestment of dividends.
 
Please note that one cannot invest in an unmanaged index.
 
The investment results presented in the Adviser's letter represent past
performance and should not be construed as a guarantee of future results. If
the Adviser did not have temporary fee waivers, total return for the Portfolio
would have been lower. The investment return and principal value of an
investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be
worth more or less than their original cost.

                          FMA SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
 
                 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds"), were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The FMA Small Company Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"), a portfolio of UAM Funds, Inc., began operations on July 31,
1991. At April 30, 1996, the UAM Funds were comprised of thirty-seven active
portfolios. The financial statements of the remaining portfolios are presented
separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the Portfolio
in the preparation of its financial statements. Generally accepted accounting
principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Securities listed on a securities exchange for which
  market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sales
  price as of the close of the exchange on the day the valuation is made or,
  if no sale occurred on such day, at the bid price on such day. Price
  information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the
  security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter and unlisted securities are
  valued at the current bid price. Short-term investments that have remaining
  maturities of sixty days or less at time of purchase are valued at
  amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The value of other assets
  and securities for which no quotations are readily available is determined
  in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of
  Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements.
 
  Paid in capital, undistributed net investment income and accumulated net
  realized gain have been adjusted for prior year permanent book-tax
  differences.
 
  At April 30, 1996, the Portfolio's cost of investments for Federal income
  tax purposes was approximately $19,366,000. Net unrealized appreciation for
  Federal income tax purposes aggregated approximately $4,033,000, of which
  $4,143,000 related to appreciated securities and $110,000 related to
  depreciated securities.
 
  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolio's custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
  collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy
  of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase,
  the Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
  proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or
  bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
  retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.

          NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
 
  4. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders quarterly.
  Any realized net capital gains will normally be distributed annually. All
  distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which
  may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  5. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date, the
  date the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and
  losses on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
  Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Most expenses of the
  UAM Funds can be directly attributed to a particular portfolio. Expenses
  which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the portfolios of
  the UAM Funds based on their relative net assets. Additionally, certain
  expenses are apportioned among the portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW
  Commercial Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an affiliated closed-end
  management investment company, based on their relative net assets.
  Custodian fees for the Portfolio have been increased to include expense
  offsets for custodian balance credits.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement,
Fiduciary Management Associates, Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment
advisory services to the Portfolio for a fee calculated at an annual rate of
0.75% of average daily net assets. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive
a portion of its advisory fees and to assume expenses, if necessary, in order
to keep the Portfolio's total annual operating expenses, after the effect of
expense offset arrangements, from exceeding 1.03% of average daily net assets.
 
C. ADMINISTRATION SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion. The fees are allocated among the
portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW on the basis of their relative net assets
and are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per portfolio which rises
from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a portfolio, to $70,000 annually
after two years. For Portfolios with more than one class of shares, the
minimum annual fee increases to $90,000. In addition, the Administrator
receives a Portfolio-specific monthly fee of 0.04% of average daily net assets
for the Portfolio. Also effective April 15, 1996, the Administrator has
entered into a Mutual Funds Service Agreement with Chase Global Funds Services
Company ("CGFSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A., under which CGFSC agrees to provide certain services, including but not
limited to, administration, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer
agent services. Pursuant to the Mutual Funds Service Agreement, the
Administrator pays CGFSC a monthly fee.

                          FMA SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
 
          NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined aggregate average
daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20% of the first $200
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.08% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but less than $3 billion; plus
0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion.
 
For the period April 15, 1996 to April 30, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
earned $3,320 from the Portfolio as Administrator.
 
D. DISTRIBUTION SERVICES: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolio. The
Distributor does not receive any fee or other compensation with respect to the
Portfolio.
 
E. PURCHASES AND SALES: For the period ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio
made purchases and sales of approximately $12,109,000 and $12,410,000,
respectively, of investment securities other than long-term U.S. Government
and Agency securities and short-term securities. There were no purchases and
sales of long-term U.S. Government and Agency securities.
 
F. DIRECTORS' FEES: Each Director, who is not an officer or affiliated person,
receives $2,000 per meeting attended, which is allocated proportionally among
the active portfolios of UAM Funds and AEW, plus a quarterly retainer of $150
for each active portfolio of UAM Funds and AEW, and reimbursement of expenses
incurred in attending Board meetings.
 
G. LINE OF CREDIT: The Portfolio, along with certain other portfolios of UAM
Funds, collectively entered into an agreement which enables them to
participate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit with several banks.
Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of
portfolio shares. Interest is charged to each participating portfolio based on
its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.75%.
In addition, a commitment fee of 1/10th of 1% per annum, payable at the end of
each calendar quarter, is accrued by each participating portfolio based on
their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. During the period
ended April 30, 1996, there were no borrowings under the agreement.
 
H. OTHER: At April 30, 1996, 45.3% of total shares outstanding were held by
three record shareholders owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares
outstanding.

Dear Shareholders:
 
The first six months of fiscal 1996, ending April 30, 1996 provided mixed
results for participants in the capital markets. While equity markets were
experiencing broad strength, fixed income markets had a more difficult time.
There was much consternation regarding the economy during the period, with
market participants' expectations waffling between clear signs of softness and
impending strength. Though the GDP Price Deflator and CPI have remained
relatively subdued, strength in key commodity indexes and strong job growth in
early 1996 have caused inflation fears to rise and thus impacted interest
rates negatively.
 
Money flows into equity mutual fund remain strong (at record levels),
providing demand for stocks and helping to provide fuel for the stock market.
First quarter operating earnings for the S&P 500 are up 9% with 85% of
companies having reported. While this is a respectable showing, it appears
earnings peaked in the second quarter of 1995. We believe this slowdown in
corporate earnings will make those companies able to deliver on earnings
expectations more attractive. Our equity selection process seeks out such
companies.
 
                        SIRACH SPECIAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
 
Small capitalization stocks have finally started to outperform after nearly
two years of relative underperformance. In the first half of fiscal 1996 the
small cap Russell 2000 Index returned 18.42% versus the S&P 500 ("S&P 500")
Index return of 13.76%. The S&P 400 Midcap Index lagged up 13.89% with the
main challenge to small cap outperformance surprisingly coming from the Dow
Industrials, which returned 18.46%. The Sirach Special Equity Portfolio
(Institutional Class Shares) ended the first half of fiscal 1996 up a healthy
23.62%. The Sirach Special Equity Portfolio (Institutional Service Class
Shares) had a total return of 8.71% for the period since inception (March 22,
1996) through April 30, 1996. The classes had a total of $542 million in net
assets as of April 30, 1996.
 
Technology (which includes Computer Software, Electronics, Office Equipment,
Technology and Tele-communications) continues to be one of the Portfolio's
largest sectors and the biggest contributor to the Portfolio's relative
outperformance. Though Technology as a percent of the Portfolio's total
holdings tends to remain at about the same level, major industry changes
within Technology occurred over the past six months. We recognized early that
supply was catching up with demand in several commodity areas of Technology
and shifted out of those companies and into more value added, true secular
growth technology companies, which dramatically helped the Portfolio's
performance.
 
Our allocation to the Healthcare sector (which includes Healthcare and
Pharmaceuticals) has steadily increased, and has had a major positive impact
on the Portfolio's performance. We have focused on smaller companies that are
bringing exciting new products to the marketplace.
 
After hurting performance in the first quarter, the Consumer Cyclical sector
(which includes Lodging & Restaurants, Retail and Services) rebounded sharply
in April on strong earnings reports and economic reports suggesting a pickup
in the U.S. economy. News of a stronger economy helped the Portfolio's Capital
Equipment sector and several stocks in the Services sector. The Portfolio's
low weightings in Finance and Utilities, after
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
 
hurting performance in 1995, actually helped performance towards the end of
the first half with the reversal in the generally downward trend of interest
rates.
 
The tremendous volatility and quick sector rotation witnessed in the first
quarter continued in the second quarter and have emphasized the importance of
selective stock picking. Sirach's strong quantitative and technical
disciplines include focusing on only those companies with superior earnings
growth characteristics.
 
The not uncommon mid cycle correction in the small/mid cap performance cycle
we have experienced since the beginning of 1994 appears to have ended. If this
cycle is similar to past small/midcap performance cycles the strongest period
of relative outperformance is close at hand.
 
                            SIRACH GROWTH PORTFOLIO
 
The Sirach Growth Portfolio ended the first six months of fiscal 1996 with net
assets of $128.3 million. This was a strong period for equities all along the
capitalization spectrum. The Sirach Growth Portfolio (Institutional Class
Shares) had a solid return of 14.76%, comparing nicely with the large cap S&P
500 which returned 13.76%. The Sirach Growth Portfolio (Institutional Service
Class Shares) had a total return of 1.41% for the period since inception
(March 22, 1996) through April 30, 1996. Mid cap and small cap stocks,
represented here by the S&P 400 Midcap Index and the Russell 2000 Index,
returned 13.89% and 18.42% respectively. Small and mid cap stocks were
especially strong the last three months and may be ending a nearly two year
period of weaker relative performance versus large cap companies.
 
The Healthcare sector supplanted Finance (which includes Banks, Financial
Services, and Insurance) as the largest weighting in the Portfolio during the
period. We were attracted to several companies that provide medical supplies
and specialty medical products. Additionally, we identified medical care
providers that are benefiting from a consolidating industry. Each of these
companies is medium sized and offers dynamic earnings prospects. Though
Finance remains highly weighted in the Portfolio, we did slightly reduce
weightings by selling the Portfolio's weaker holdings in the regional bank and
insurance groups. These were companies with declining likelihood for positive
earnings surprises and lagging earnings growth prospects relative to other
financial holdings. The recent rise in interest rates has caused some pressure
on this sector. We continue to monitor the progress of the Portfolio's
holdings and seek to own those companies exhibiting the strongest earnings
prospects. Along with Capital Goods (which includes Aerospace & Defense and
Capital Equipment) and Technology, Finance was one of the strongest
contributors to first half performance.
 
We have been pleased with the contribution from the Portfolio's holdings in
Technology. We have concentrated the Portfolio's positions in software and
computer services throughout the six month period and have increased exposure
to semiconductors only more recently. The first three months of the period
were quite difficult for technology companies, especially the semiconductor
group as they faced supply/demand pressures which raised pricing and margin
issues. The Portfolio's holdings performed well relative to the S&P 500. We
have identified certain semiconductor firms filling special niches that are
not currently faced with supply/demand concerns.
 
In terms of reductions in allocation within the Portfolio during the past six
months, Consumer Cyclicals and Energy received the most attention. In the
Consumer Cyclical sector we reduced the Portfolio's holdings in the retailing
area, taking profits in most cases and concentrating the Portfolio's remaining
positions in retailers in which we have higher confidence of their ability to
deliver earnings. In the Energy area we moved away from
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
 
large oil refiners to more specialized oil service companies which are less
reliant on cost-cutting and the price of oil to show solid earnings gains.
 
We continue to apply our stock selection disciplines to identify companies
offering strong earnings dynamics.
 
                      SIRACH STRATEGIC BALANCED PORTFOLIO
 
The Sirach Strategic Balanced Portfolio had net assets of $91 million on April
30, 1996. Asset allocation was 46% common stocks, 48% fixed income and the
remainder in cash equivalents.
 
The common stock characteristics for the Sirach Strategic Balanced Portfolio
are identical to the Sirach Growth Portfolio, while the bond characteristics
match the Sirach Fixed Income Portfolio.
 
                         SIRACH FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
 
The U.S. economy has gradually strengthened in 1996 after a mild slowdown last
year. Labor demand has accelerated with non-farm payrolls up an average
166,000 per month for the first four months of 1996 versus 150,000 per month
for all of 1995. Early signs of wage inflation have surfaced with average
hourly earnings up 7 cents in April versus 2 cents in March. Demand in the
housing and automobile sectors has been strong and consumer confidence surged
in April.
 
During the past six months, a modest economic rebound was generally expected.
The economy was restrained in late 1995 by two government shutdowns and poor
weather. Indeed, consumer and real government spending did surge 3.5% and
6.7%, respectfully, in the first quarter. Unfortunately for fixed income
investors, the growth has been even more broadly based and potentially
sustainable. The inflation implications of above trend growth have weighed
heavily on the fixed income market as yields or have already risen 100 basis
points in 1996. The Federal Reserve has likely moved to a neutral stance on
short term rates while awaiting more economic data. The Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index returned 0.53% for the six months ended April 30, 1996.
The Sirach Fixed Income Portfolio ended the same six month period with a
(0.65)% return and net assets of $18.6 million.
 
Late in the fiscal first quarter, the Portfolio benefited from an overweight
in corporates as spreads in that sector contracted. The Portfolio also
benefited from a longer than market duration as the economy weakened and rates
declined. The excess duration became a drag on performance in the fiscal
second quarter with the strengthening economy and dramatic rise in yields.
Also, weakness in the media/cable sector in late April adversely affected the
Portfolio. The Portfolio has a 7% weighting in this sector. Positions were
maintained in the mortgage and asset-backed sectors to supplement portfolio
yield. A slight underweight in intermediate maturities was a modest benefit to
performance as these securities experienced the greatest increase in yields.
 
In the current environment, the Portfolio will continue to underweight
intermediate maturities in favor of cash, floating rate notes and long term
bonds. Portfolio duration is currently 110% of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index, down from a high of 120%. Duration will be reduced further on
market strength. The Portfolio will maintain its overweighting in the
corporate and asset-backed sectors and will be adding selectively to
mortgages. We intend to keep the average quality of the Portfolio relatively
high.

                     SIRACH SHORT-TERM RESERVES PORTFOLIO
 
The Sirach Short-Term Reserves Portfolio had net assets of $16 million on
April 30, 1996. This Portfolio is designed to provide a consistent and
conservative return as shown in its total return performance for the six
months ended April 30, 1996, which returned 2.53%.
 
The quality of the Portfolio was very high throughout the six month period
with an average 95% weighting in U.S. Government and Agency issues. The
average maturity on April 30, 1996 was 100 days, down from a high of 130 days
during the period. We intend to shorten average maturity further given the
stronger economy and the potential change in monetary policy. We intend to
keep the average quality of the Portfolio relatively high.

UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds") were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The Sirach Special Equity Portfolio, Sirach
Growth Portfolio, Sirach Strategic Balanced Portfolio, Sirach Fixed Income
Portfolio and Sirach Short-Term Reserves Portfolio (the "Portfolios") are
portfolios of UAM Funds, Inc. The Sirach Growth Portfolio, Sirach Strategic
Balanced Portfolio, Sirach Fixed Income Portfolio and Sirach Short-Term
Reserves Portfolio each began operations on December 1, 1993. The Sirach
Special Equity Portfolio began operations on October 2, 1989. The Sirach
Special Equity, Sirach Growth and Sirach Strategic Balanced Portfolios are
authorized to offer two separate classes of shares--Institutional Class Shares
and Institutional Service Class Shares. As of the date of this report, only
the Sirach Special Equity Portfolio and Sirach Growth Portfolio have issued
Institutional Service Class Shares. At April 30, 1996, the UAM Funds were
comprised of thirty-seven active portfolios. The financial statements of the
remaining portfolios are presented separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the
Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Generally
accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Equity securities listed on a securities exchange
  for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last
  quoted sales price as of the close of the exchange on the day the valuation
  is made or, if no sale occurred on such day, at the mean of the bid and
  asked prices on such day. Price information on listed securities is taken
  from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter
  and unlisted equity securities are valued at the mean of the current bid
  and asked prices. Fixed income securities are stated on the basis of
  valuations provided by brokers and/or a pricing service which uses
  information with respect to transactions in fixed income securities,
  quotations from dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and
  various relationships between securities in determining value. Short-term
  investments that have remaining maturities of sixty days or less at time of
  purchase are valued at amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The
  value of other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily
  available is determined in good faith at fair value using methods
  determined by the Board of Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is each Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements.
 
  Paid in capital, undistributed net investment income and accumulated net
  realized gain (loss) have been adjusted for prior year permanent book-tax
  differences.

  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolios' custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
  collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy
  of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase,
  the Portfolios have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
  proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or
  bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
  retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.
 
  4. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Each Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders quarterly.
  Any realized net capital gains will normally be distributed annually. All
  distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which
  may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences
  are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the
  recognition of gains or losses on investments.
 
  5. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the date
  the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
  on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
  Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums
  on securities purchased are amortized over their respective lives. Most
  expenses of the UAM Funds can be directly attributed to a particular
  portfolio. Expenses which

  cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the portfolios of the
  UAM Funds based on their relative net assets. Additionally, certain
  expenses are apportioned among the portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW
  Commercial Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an affiliated closed-end
  management investment company, based on their relative net assets.
  Custodian fees for each Portfolio have been increased to include expense
  offsets for custodian balance credits.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement,
Sirach Capital Management, Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment advisory
services to the Portfolios at a fee calculated at an annual rate of average
daily net assets, as follows:

The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fees and
to assume certain expenses, if necessary, in order to keep the Portfolio's
annual operating expenses, after the effects of expense offset arrangements
from exceeding 0.75% and 0.50% of average daily net assets for the Sirach
Fixed Income and Sirach Short-Term Reserves Portfolios, respectively.
 
C. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion. The fees are allocated among the
portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW on the basis of their relative net assets
and are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per portfolio which rises
from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a portfolio, to $70,000 annually
after two years. For Portfolios with more than one class of shares, the
minimum annual fee increases to $90,000. In addition, the Administrator
receives a Portfolio-specific monthly fee of 0.04%, 0.04%, 0.04%, 0.04%, and
0.06% of average daily net assets for the Sirach Special Equity Portfolio,
Sirach Growth Portfolio, Sirach Strategic Balanced Portfolio, Sirach Fixed
Income, and Sirach Short-Term Reserves Portfolio, respectively. Also effective
April 15, 1996, the Administrator has entered into a Mutual Funds Service
Agreement with Chase Global Funds Services Company ("CGFSC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., under which CGFSC agrees to
provide certain services, including but not limited to, administration, fund
accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent services. Pursuant to the
Mutual Funds Service Agreement, the Administrator pays CGFSC a monthly fee.

Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined aggregate average
daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20% of the first $200
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.08% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but less than $3 billion; plus
0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion.

D. DISTRIBUTION SERVICES: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolios. The
Sirach Special Equity Portfolio and Sirach Growth Portfolio have adopted a
Distribution and Service Plan (the "Plans") on behalf of the Institutional
Service Class Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act
of 1940. Under the Plans, the Sirach Special Equity Portfolio and Sirach
Growth Portfolio may not incur distribution or service costs which exceed an
annual rate of 0.75% of the Sirach Special Equity Portfolio and Sirach Growth
Portfolio's net assets. The Board has currently limited aggregate payments
under the Plans to 0.50% per annum of the Sirach Special Equity Portfolio and
Sirach Growth Portfolio's net assets. The Sirach Special Equity Portfolio and
Sirach Growth Portfolio are not currently making payments under the
Distribution Plan. Under the Service Plan, the Sirach Special Equity Portfolio
and Sirach Growth Portfolio reimburse the Distributor or the Service Agent for
payments made at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets
of the Institutional Service Class Shares owned by clients of such Service

Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of

its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.75%.
In addition, a commitment fee of 1/10th of 1% per annum, payable at the end of
each calendar quarter, is accrued by each participating portfolio based on
their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. During the year
ended October 31, 1995, there were no borrowings under the agreement.

                              SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
                                APRIL 30, 1996

Dear Shareholder:
 
For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the net asset value per share (NAV)
of the ICM Equity Portfolio increased from $12.14 to $13.77. Including
reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions totaling $0.57 paid
in December 1995 and April 1996, the total return of the Portfolio for the six
months was 18.76%, compared to a 13.76% return for the S&P 500 Index over the
same period. The Portfolio's nearly 500 basis point outperformance was
attributable to strong performance in a number of sectors, including: banking
and finance (especially BankAmerica, Comerica, NationsBank and Chase
Manhattan), retailing (TJX Companies, Inc.), computers and technology (Dell
Computer, IBM and Seagate Technology), basic industry (Dow Chemical and Phelps
Dodge), healthcare (Integrated Health Services), and utilities (Telefonos de
Mexico and MCI Corporation). The star performer in the Portfolio for the six
month period was TJX Companies, Inc., up over 118%. The other top performers
included Dell Computer (sold late in April), BankAmerica, Seagate Technology
and Dow Chemical. Weak performers included First Colony, Burlington Northern,
Melville Corporation, Philips Electronics and AT&T Corporation. We sold First
Colony, Burlington Northern and Melville during the quarter, but added to our
holdings of Philips Electronics.
 
The U.S. equity market continued to display impressive strength in the most
recent six months. Common stocks were aided by a strong bond market for the
three months ended January 31, 1996, and continued to rise in the three months
ended April 30, 1996, despite a significant pullback in the bond market.

   6 Months Ended 4/30/96...................................   18.76%   13.76%
</TABLE>
 
The divergence of stock and bond market performance which occurred in the last
three months was, in our opinion, caused by stronger than expected GDP and
employment growth. Bond investors fear stronger economic growth because the
accompanying increase in loan demand and rising inflationary expectations
normally push interest rates up. Equity investors are often more sanguine
about an expanding economy, because of the accompanying rise in corporate
profits that normally takes place. The main risk to the equity market at
present is a continuation of the upward trend in rates. If long rates
stabilize at the current 7% level and real GDP growth continues at a 2 1/2% to
3% clip, we see no reason why well selected equities cannot continue to make
some upward progress.
 
The Portfolio performed well in the first half of its fiscal year. We
attribute the improved performance to a number of factors. We reduced the
number of stocks in the Portfolio from 47 to 36, concentrating on our best
ideas. We also reduced its cash position in order to finance an increase in
technology holdings (with new purchases of IBM Corporation and Dell Computer)
and increases in some existing technology positions. Perceptions among
investors as a group that the economy was stronger than expected also led to
renewed interest in cyclically sensitive groups such as retailers, banks,
basic industry companies and technology, where the Portfolio has significant
exposure.
 
In our annual report to shareholders, we noted the importance of sticking to
one's investment disciplines even when they produce subpar results for a
period of time. We are pleased to report an improvement in results,
 
                                       1

and remain committed to the value principles which have proven themselves in
the past. We will continue to focus our attention on the stocks of well
financed companies with well below average price-to-earnings and price-to-book
ratios and above average or sharply improving profitability and financial
strength.
 
As of April 30, 1996, the Portfolio held 36 stocks with the following
statistical profile as compared to the S&P 500 Index:

                        DEFINITION OF COMPARATIVE INDEX
                        -------------------------------
 
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index composed of 400 industrial, 40
financial, 40 utilities and 20 transportation stocks.
 
Comparisons of performance assume reinvestment of dividends.
 
Please note that one cannot invest in an unmanaged index.
 
The investment results presented in the Adviser's letter represent past
performance and should not be construed as a guarantee of future results. If
the Adviser did not have temporary fee waivers and did not assume expenses on
behalf of the Portfolio, total return for the Portfolio would have been lower.
The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so
that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
original cost.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds") were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The ICM Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a
portfolio of UAM Funds, Inc., began operations on October 1, 1993. At April
30, 1996, the UAM Funds were comprised of thirty-seven active portfolios. The
financial statements of the remaining portfolios are presented separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the Portfolio
in the preparation of its financial statements. Generally accepted accounting
principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Securities listed on a securities exchange for which
  market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sales
  price as of the close of the exchange on the day the valuation is made or,
  if no sale occurred on such day, at the bid price on such day. Price
  information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the
  security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter and unlisted securities are
  valued at the current bid price. Short-term investments that have remaining
  maturities of sixty days or less at time of purchase are valued at
  amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The value of other assets
  and securities for which no quotations are readily available is determined
  in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of
  Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements.
 
  At April 30, 1996, the Portfolio's cost of investments for Federal income
  tax purposes was approximately $5,808,000. Net unrealized appreciation for
  Federal income tax purposes aggregated approximately $1,283,000, of which
  $1,300,000 related to appreciated securities and $17,000 related to
  depreciated securities.
 
  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolio's custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
  collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy
  of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase,
  the Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
  proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or
  bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
  retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.
 
  4. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders quarterly.
  Any realized net capital gains will normally be distributed annually. All
  distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.

                             ICM EQUITY PORTFOLIO
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
 
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which
  may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  5. OTHER:  Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the date
  the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
  on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
  Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Most expenses of the
  UAM Funds can be directly attributed to a particular portfolio. Expenses
  which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the portfolios of
  the UAM Funds based on their relative net assets. Additionally, certain
  expenses are apportioned among the portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW
  Commercial Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an affiliated closed-end
  management investment company, based on their relative net assets.
  Custodian fees have been increased to include expense offsets for custodian
  balance credits.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement,
Investment Counselors of Maryland, Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment
advisory services to the Portfolio at a fee calculated at an annual rate of
0.625% of average daily net assets. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to
waive a portion of its advisory fees and to assume expenses, if necessary, in
order to keep the Portfolio's total annual operating expenses, after the
effect of expense offset arrangements, from exceeding 0.90% of average daily
net assets.
 
C. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion. The fees are allocated among the
portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW on the basis of their relative net assets
and are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per portfolio which rises
from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a portfolio, to $70,000 annually
after two years. For Portfolios with more than one class of shares, the
minimum annual fee increases to $90,000. In addition, the Administrator
receives a Portfolio-specific monthly fee of 0.06% of average daily net assets
for the Portfolio. Also effective April 15, 1996, the Administrator has
entered into a Mutual Funds Service Agreement with Chase Global Funds Services
Company ("CGFSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A., under which CGFSC agrees to provide certain services, including but not
limited to, administration, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer
agent services. Pursuant to the Mutual Funds Service Agreement, the
Administrator pays CGFSC a monthly fee.
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined
 
                                      10

                             ICM EQUITY PORTFOLIO
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
 
aggregate average daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20%
of the first $200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of
the next $800 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.08% of the
combined aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but less than $3
billion; plus 0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $3
billion.
 
For the period April 15, 1996 to April 30, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
earned $3,100 from the Portfolio as Administrator.
 
D. DISTRIBUTION SERVICES: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolio. The
Distributor does not receive any fee or other compensation with respect to the
Portfolio.
 
E. PURCHASES AND SALES: For the period ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio
made purchases and sales of approximately $2,706,000 and $3,271,000,
respectively, of investment securities other than long-term U.S. Government
and short-term securities. There were no purchases and sales of long-term U.S.
Government securities.
 
F. DIRECTORS' FEES: Each Director, who is not an officer or affiliated person,
receives $2,000 per meeting attended, which is allocated proportionally among
the active portfolios of UAM Funds and AEW, plus a quarterly retainer of $150
for each active portfolio of the UAM Funds and AEW, and reimbursement of
expenses incurred in attending board meetings.
 
G. LINE OF CREDIT: The Portfolio, along with certain other portfolios of UAM
Funds, collectively entered into an agreement which enables them to
participate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit with several banks.
Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of
portfolio shares. Interest is charged to each participating portfolio based on
its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.75%.
In addition, a commitment fee of 1/10th of 1% per annum, payable at the end of
each calendar quarter, is accrued by each participating portfolio based on
their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. During the period
ended April 30, 1996, there were no borrowings under the agreement.
 
H. OTHER: At April 30, 1996, 67.0% of total shares outstanding were held by
two record shareholders owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares
outstanding.

                      "SMALL CAP STOCKS ARE DOING BETTER"
 
Dear Shareholder,
 
Despite a significant increase in long term interest rates over the last four
months (January, 1996--April, 1996), the equity market has continued to move
higher, led for the first time in a while by small cap stocks. This improved
relative performance by small cap stocks has occurred during the second
quarter of the current fiscal year and coincides with an increase in the value
of the dollar, a rise in long term interest rates, and a change in
expectations for economic growth on the part of investors, with faster growth
now expected for the next six to twelve months. This economic backdrop is
almost the exact opposite of that which existed for much of calendar year 1995
when big cap stocks generally outperformed.
 
The performance of the Portfolio did not keep pace with the Russell 2000 Index
for the first half of fiscal 1996, although the relative performance in the
second quarter (February 1--April 30) was much better than in the first
quarter.

</TABLE>
 
The Portfolio's performance during the first three months of the current
fiscal year was disappointing. In part, these results were due to the fact
that small cap stocks were not doing well; but most of the blame can be
attributed to two factors. First, the Portfolio was heavily represented in
sectors of the market, such as consumer stocks and basic industry stocks,
which did not perform well. Second, the Portfolio's cash reserves averaged
close to 15% during the quarter and these reserves restrained the price
advance a bit. Recent results have been better and we remain very confident in
our investment process.
 
In our opinion, the type of economic environment which exists today has
historically been conducive to better relative performance by smaller
companies, although there is no guarantee the same will occur in the future. A
rising dollar usually results in improved relative profits on the part of
domestic companies as opposed to large multi-nationals. Faster GDP growth also
helps smaller companies which tend to be more sensitive to the U.S. economy.
On top of this favorable economic backdrop, small cap stocks appear quite
reasonably valued after underperforming big cap stocks for nearly two years.
 
We believe the Portfolio is well positioned to take advantage of the current
economic and market trends. The Portfolio's exposure to the consumer, and the
holdings of basic industrial companies and capital goods manufacturers should
help the returns if the economy continues to improve. The Portfolio is a bit
underweighted in financial stocks. However, the REIT position is being
increased because we believe REIT's offer an attractive risk-return profile.

The magnitude of the advance in the equity market has been quite dramatic and
our more cautious approach to the market, which we began to implement a year
ago, was, in retrospect, ill timed. This approach did not involve a major
increase in cash reserves which averaged less than 15% over this period. We
did, however, make a conscious effort to buy stocks which, in the past, had
exhibited lower price volatility than the average stock. As a result, the
total portfolio has become less volatile and, in a sharply rising market, this
is not a particularly desirable trait. We believe that this approach may still
work to the Portfolio's benefit.
 
Respectfully,

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds") were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The ICM Small Company Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"), a portfolio of UAM Funds, Inc., began operations on April 19,
1989. At April 30, 1996, the UAM Funds were comprised of thirty-seven active
portfolios. The financial statements of the remaining portfolios are presented
separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the Portfolio
in the preparation of its financial statements. Generally accepted accounting
principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Securities listed on a securities exchange for which
  market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sales
  price as of the close of the exchange on the day the valuation is made or,
  if no sale occurred on such day, at the bid price on such day. Price
  information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the
  security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter and unlisted securities are
  valued at the current bid price. Short-term investments that have remaining
  maturities of sixty days or less at time of purchase are valued at
  amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The value of other assets
  and securities for which no quotations are readily available is determined
  in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of
  Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements.
 
  Paid in capital, undistributed net investment income and accumulated net
  realized loss have been adjusted for prior year permanent book-tax
  differences.
 
  At April 30, 1996, the Portfolio's cost of investments for Federal income
  tax purposes was approximately $244,605,000. Net unrealized appreciation
  for Federal income tax purposes aggregated approximately $62,393,000, of
  which $70,630,000 related to appreciated securities and $8,237,000 related
  to depreciated securities.
 
  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolio's custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
  collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy
  of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase,
  the Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
  proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or
  bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
  retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.
 
  4. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all its net investment income to shareholders quarterly. Any
  realized net capital gains will normally be distributed annually. All
  distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.

                          ICM SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)

  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which
  may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences
  are principally due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of
  the recognition of gains or losses on investments.
 
  5. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the date
  the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
  on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
  Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Most expenses of the
  UAM Funds can be directly attributed to a particular portfolio. Expenses
  which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the portfolios of
  the UAM Funds based on their relative net assets. Additionally, certain
  expenses are apportioned among the portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW
  Commercial Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an affiliated closed-end
  management investment company, based on their relative net assets.
  Custodian fees for the Portfolio have been increased to include expense
  offsets for custodian balance credits.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement,
Investment Counselors of Maryland, Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment
advisory services to the Portfolio at a fee calculated at an annual rate of
0.70% of average daily net assets.
 
C. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion. The fees are allocated among the
portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW on the basis of their relative net assets
and are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per portfolio which rises
from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a portfolio, to $70,000 annually
after two years. For Portfolios with more than one class of shares, the
minimum annual fee increases to $90,000. In addition, the Administrator
receives a Portfolio-specific monthly fee of 0.04% of average daily net assets
for the Portfolio. Also effective April 15, 1996, the Administrator has
entered into a Mutual Funds Service Agreement with Chase Global Funds Services
Company ("CGFSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A., under which CGFSC agrees to provide certain services, including but not
limited to, administration, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer
agent services. Pursuant to the Mutual Funds Service Agreement, the
Administrator pays CGFSC a monthly fee.
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined aggregate average
daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20% of the first $200
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets;

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)

plus 0.08% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but
less than $3 billion; plus 0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in
excess of $3 billion.
 
For the period April 15, 1996 to April 30, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
earned $17,224 from the Portfolio as Administrator.
 
D. DISTRIBUTION SERVICES: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolio. The
Distributor does not receive any fee or other compensation with respect to the
Portfolio.
 
E. PURCHASES AND SALES: For the period ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio
made purchases and sales of approximately $57,428,000 and $16,497,000,
respectively, of investment securities other than long-term U.S. Government
and short-term securities. There were no purchases and sales of long-term U.S.
Government securities.
 
F. DIRECTORS' FEES: Each Director, who is not an officer or affiliated person,
receives $2,000 per meeting attended, which is allocated proportionally among
the active portfolios of UAM Funds and AEW, plus a quarterly retainer of $150
for each active portfolio of the UAM Funds and AEW, and reimbursement of
expenses incurred in attending board meetings.
 
G. LINE OF CREDIT: The Portfolio, along with certain other portfolios of UAM
Funds, collectively entered into an agreement which enables them to
participate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit with several banks.
Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of
portfolio shares. Interest is charged to each participating portfolio based on
its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.75%.
In addition, a commitment fee of 1/10th of 1% per annum, payable at the end of
each calendar quarter, is accrued by each participating portfolio based on
their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. During the period
ended April 30, 1996, there were no borrowings under the agreement.
 
H. OTHER: At April 30, 1996, 11.3% of total shares outstanding were held by
one record shareholder owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total of shares
outstanding.

THE FIXED INCOME MARKET--SEMI-ANNUAL REVIEW. In aggregate, the fixed income
market produced a slightly positive return for the six months ended April 30,
1996. Higher rates during the three months ended April 30, 1996 erased most of
the positive returns experienced during the three months ended January 31,
1996. At the beginning of the six months ended April 30, 1996, the yield on
the U.S. Treasury 30 year bond was 6.33%. By December 31, 1995, the Treasury
bond yield had plunged to 5.94%. The prospect of completing a balanced budget
agreement, signs of a slower economy, and continued low inflation fueled the
bond market rally. A reversal in rates began in January, 1996, and by the end
of April, 1996, the yield on the U.S. Treasury bond was pushing toward 7%.
 
There are several reasons why the yield on the U.S. Treasury bond has climbed
almost 106 basis points. The hope of achieving a credible balanced budget
accord has dissolved, economic growth is stronger than expected, and higher
commodity prices and perceived pressures to increase wages undermine the case
for low inflation. Higher yields, as a result, remedy a perceived threat to
the real earning power of fixed income assets.
 
 
MARKET SECTOR REVIEW. All sectors of the U.S. domestic fixed income market
posted modest returns for the six months ended April 30, 1996. While corporate
securities continued to track U.S. Treasury performance closely, the mortgage
sector provided strong relative returns. For the six months ended April 30,
1996, the U.S. Treasury, corporate, and mortgage components of the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index returned 0.03%, 0.08% and 1.66%, respectively.
Within the mortgage sector, holdings of conventional 30 year pass-throughs
with coupons above 9.5% performed extremely well. A combination of higher
yields and lower prepayment assumptions helped this group achieve a total
return of 0.95% for the three months ended April 30, 1996.
 
While fears of higher growth and inflation plagued the U.S. market, foreign
bonds enjoyed strong relative performance on a dollar-hedged basis. Over the
six months ended April 30, 1996, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index
underperformed bond markets in every other industrial country, except for New
Zealand. Markets in Europe, in particular, posted strong results. France, for
example, returned 18.7% for the six month period ended April 30, 1996
according to Lehman Brothers. Even in Japan, where fear of imminent growth
sparked a major sell-off in December, 1995, the market returned 1.61% on a
dollar-hedged basis over the six months ended April 30, 1996, according to
Lehman Brothers.

THE ICM FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW. Although we are pleased with the six
month performance of the Portfolio, we are disappointed with our results for
the three month period ended April 30, 1996. Like many other bond managers, we
were caught during the initial spike in rates with too much interest rate
exposure relative to our benchmark. We also failed to maintain a defensive
portfolio structure at the beginning of 1996 since we were neutral on the
economy. Although our mortgage holdings performed well, we were not
overweighted in mortgage pass-throughs with coupons above 8.5%. While these
securities performed extremely well, especially during the three months ended
April 30, 1996, we rarely overweight this group since their return is very
sensitive to the outcome of a bet implicitly made on short-term and long-term
prepayment speeds.
 
The Portfolio experienced the following shifts in sector allocations over the
six months ended April 30, 1996. In order to increase yield and exposure to an
undervalued sector, we increased mortgage holdings from 25% to 30%. Mortgage
allocations included current coupon pass-throughs and well structured, short
average life PAC bonds. Corporate allocations were reduced to 13% from 19% to
reflect more closely our slightly negative view on credit spreads. Tactical
foreign allocations to the German and Australian bond markets during the six
month period ended April 30, 1996, composed no more than 7% of the Portfolio.
These and other foreign markets continue to provide opportunities to add value
to the Portfolio.
 
DERIVATIVE SECURITIES. The Portfolio uses the following derivative
instruments: Exchange Traded Futures, Exchange Traded Options, Collateralized
Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) and Mortgage Pass-through Securities. On April 30,
1996, the sale of 10 U.S. Treasury 10 year note futures contracts composed
4.8% of the Portfolio. This position offset the purchase of five German 10
year bonds which composed 5.5% of the Portfolio. Increasing exposure to German
bonds while decreasing exposure to the U.S. Treasury 10 year note has proven
beneficial as yield spreads between these respective markets have tightened
from +30 basis points to -45 basis points over the six months ended April 30,
1996.
 
Strategies involving exchange-traded options implemented during the six months
ended April 30, 1996 added little value to the Portfolio. Put options
purchased in November, December, and February expired worthless which means
that the premium paid for the insurance against rising interest rates was
forfeited. This reduced performance by no more than 4 basis points. Call
option strategies faired slightly better, but made a negligible contribution
to the Portfolio.
 
We increased the allocation of mortgage-backed securities to 30% during the
six months ended April 30, 1996. Mortgage pass-through securities composed 22%
of the Portfolio as of April 30, 1996. The higher yields on current pass-
throughs, we believe, provide ample compensation for prepayment risk given
market conditions. CMO holdings were also increased to 9% of the Portfolio
during the six months ended April 30, 1996. The Portfolio's CMO holdings have
simple structures, most include well-seasoned underlying collateral and none
is levered. This sector continues to provide high relative income, strong
credit quality and liquidity.
 
OUTLOOK. Yields in the bond market reflect an enormous amount of pessimism.
The term structure of interest rates suggests that real economic growth will
exceed 2.5% and inflation will approach 3.5%. Federal Fund futures, for
January, 1997 settlement, are trading near 6%. This is 75 basis points higher
than current overnight Federal Funds. These market measures are quite a
contrast to the 25-50 basis points of ease embedded in the U.S. Treasury curve
at the end of 1995.
 
Should yields on the U.S. Treasury 30 year bond approach 7.25%, we would be
more inclined to buy bonds than to sell them. Asset allocation models should
find fixed income prospective returns increasingly attractive

compared to equities, barring a major correction in stocks. Higher rates
should eventually have a dampening effect on the economy. The markets are too
pessimistic on the prospects for meaningful budget deficit reduction in the
U.S.; global capital markets and commitments within the G-7 will continue to
guide budgetary policies toward deficit reduction. We also believe that a
longer term demographic trend, which favors investment over consumption,
remains intact. These factors continue to build a case for lower yields over
time.
 
The possibility of strong, synchronized global growth threatens our view. The
economic wake of surging Japanese demand, European and Latin American growth,
and a booming Pacific Rim would put further pressure on U.S. interest rates.
Increased export demand would stretch limited labor capacity in the U.S.
Global growth would also keep pressure on industrial commodity prices. In both
cases, inflation expectations would rise further. While this scenario remains
a possibility, we believe it is far too early to bet on dramatic economic
turnarounds in Japan, Europe and Mexico.

                      DEFINITION OF THE COMPARATIVE INDEX
 
The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged fixed income market
value-weighted index that combines the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate
Index and the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index. It includes
fixed rate issues of investment grade (BBB) or higher, with maturities of at
least one year and outstanding par values of at least $100 million for U.S.
Government issues and $25 million for others.
 
Comparisons of performance assume reinvestment of dividends.
 
Please note that one cannot invest in an unmanaged index.
 
The investment results presented in the Adviser's letter represent past
performance and should not be construed as a guarantee of future results. If
the Adviser did not have temporary fee waivers and did not assume expenses on
behalf of the Portfolio, total return for the Portfolio would have been lower.
The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so
that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
original cost.

                          ICM FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
 
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds") were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The ICM Fixed Income Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"), a portfolio of UAM Funds, Inc., began operations on November 3,
1992. At April 30, 1996, the UAM Funds were comprised of thirty-seven active
portfolios. The financial statements of the remaining portfolios are presented
separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the Portfolio
in the preparation of its financial statements. Generally accepted accounting
principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Fixed income securities are stated on the basis of
  valuations provided by brokers and/or a pricing service which uses
  information with respect to transactions in fixed income securities,
  quotations from dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and
  various relationships between securities in determining value. Short-term
  investments that have remaining maturities of sixty days or less at time of
  purchase are valued at amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The
  value of other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily
  available is determined in good faith at fair value using methods
  determined by the Board of Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements.
 
  Paid in capital, undistributed net investment income and accumulated net
  realized loss have been adjusted for prior year permanent book-tax
  differences. Reclassifications between undistributed net investment income
  and accumulated net realized loss arose principally from differing book and
  tax treatments for foreign currency transactions; reclassifications between
  paid in capital and accumulated net realized loss arose principally from
  differing book and tax treatments for in-kind redemptions (Note A6).
 
  At April 30, 1996, the Portfolio's cost of investments for Federal income
  tax purposes was approximately $22,429,000. Net unrealized depreciation for
  Federal income tax purposes aggregated approximately $243,000, of which
  approximately $74,000 related to appreciated securities and approximately
  $317,000 related to depreciated securities.
 
  At October 31, 1995, the Portfolio had available a capital loss carryover
  for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $110,000, which will
  expire on October 31, 2002.
 
  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolio's custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
  collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy
  of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase,
  the Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
  proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event
 
                                      14

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)

  of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
  and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.
 
  4. FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Portfolio's purchases and sales of futures
  contracts are designed to hedge a portion of its investments against
  changes in value or as an alternative to purchasing or selling actual
  securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is
  required to deposit with a broker an amount in cash or securities ("initial
  margin") equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price indicated in
  the futures contract. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or
  received by the Portfolio each day and are recorded for financial reporting
  purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When futures contracts
  are closed, the difference between the opening value at the date of
  purchase and the value at closing is recorded as realized gain or loss in
  the statement of operations. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement
  price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they
  are traded. Futures contracts involve market risk in excess of the amounts
  recognized in the statement of net assets. Risks arise from the possible
  movements in security values underlying these instruments. The change in
  value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value of their
  underlying instruments, which may not correlate with the change in value of
  the hedged investments. In addition, there is risk that the Portfolio may
  not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid
  secondary market.
 
  The Portfolio had the following futures contracts open at April 30, 1996:

  5. PURCHASED AND WRITTEN OPTIONS: The Portfolio may write covered call and
  put options. Premiums are received and are recorded as liabilities, and
  subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums
  received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains.
  Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are canceled
  in closing purchase transactions are offset against the proceeds or amount
  paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. By writing
  a call option, a Portfolio foregoes in exchange for the premium the
  opportunity for capital appreciation above the exercise price should the
  market price of the underlying security increase. Possible losses from
  written options may be unlimited.
 
  The Portfolio may also purchase call and put options on their portfolio
  securities. The Portfolio may purchase call and put options to close out
  covered call and put positions or to protect against an increase in the
  price of the security it anticipates purchasing. Possible losses from
  purchased options cannot exceed the total amount invested.

  Use of put and call options could result in losses to the Portfolio, force
  the purchase or sale of portfolio securities at inopportune times or for
  prices higher or lower than current market values, or cause the Portfolio
  to hold a security it might otherwise not purchase or sell. Losses
  resulting from the use of options will reduce the Portfolio's net asset
  value, and possibly income, and the losses may be greater than if options
  had not been used.
 
  During the six months ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio participated in
  writing covered call and put options. The Portfolio had option activity as

</TABLE>
 
  6. IN-KIND TRANSACTIONS: For the year ended October 31, 1995, the Portfolio
  realized losses of $11,000 from in-kind redemptions.
 
  7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:  The Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders quarterly.
  Any realized net capital gains will normally be distributed annually. All
  distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which
  may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences
  are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the
  recognition of gains or losses on investments, futures and options, and
  permanent differences as presented in Note A2.
 
  8. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the date
  the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
  on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.
  Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over their
  respective lives. Most expenses of the UAM Funds can be directly attributed
  to a particular portfolio. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are
  apportioned among the portfolios of the UAM Funds based on their relative
  net assets. Additionally, certain expenses are apportioned among the
  portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW Commercial Mortgage Securities Fund,
  Inc. ("AEW"), an affiliated closed-end management investment company, based
  on their relative net assets. Custodian fees for the portfolio have been
  increased to include expense offsets for custodian balance credits.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement,
Investment Counselors of Maryland, Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment
advisory services to the Portfolio at a fee calculated at an annual rate of
0.50% of average daily net assets. Effective April 1, 1995, the Adviser has
voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its
 
                                      16
<PAGE>
 
                          ICM FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)

advisory fees and to assume expenses, if necessary, in order to keep the
Portfolio's total annual operating expenses, after the effect of expense
offset arrangements, from exceeding 0.50% of average daily net assets.
 
C. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion. The fees are allocated among the
portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW on the basis of their relative net assets
and are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per portfolio which rises
from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a portfolio, to $70,000 annually
after two years. For Portfolios with more than one class of shares, the
minimum annual fee increases to $90,000. In addition, the Administrator
receives a Portfolio-specific monthly fee of 0.04% of average daily net assets
for the Portfolio. Also effective April 15, 1996, the Administrator has
entered into a Mutual Funds Service Agreement with Chase Global Funds Services
Company ("CGFSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A., under which CGFSC agrees to provide certain services, including but not
limited to, administration, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer
agent services. Pursuant to the Mutual Funds Service Agreement, the
Administrator pays CGFSC a monthly fee.
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined aggregate average
daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20% of the first $200
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.08% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but less than $3 billion; plus
0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion.
 
For the period April 15, 1996 to April 30, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
earned $3,264 from the Portfolio as Administrator.
 
D. DISTRIBUTION SERVICES: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolio. The
Distributor does not receive any fee or other compensation with respect to the
Portfolio.
 
E. PURCHASES AND SALES: For the period ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio
made purchases and sales of approximately $65,000 and $431,000, respectively,
of investment securities other than long-term U.S. Government and Agency and
short-term securities. Purchases and sales of long-term U.S. Government and
Agency securities totaled approximately $8,789,000 and $3,315,000,
respectively.
 
F. DIRECTORS' FEES: Each Director, who is not an officer or affiliated person,
receives $2,000 per meeting attended, which is allocated proportionally among
the active portfolios of UAM Funds and AEW, plus a quarterly retainer of $150
for each active portfolio of the UAM Funds and AEW, and reimbursement of
expenses incurred in attending board meetings.

G. LINE OF CREDIT: The Portfolio, along with certain other portfolios of UAM
Funds, collectively entered into an agreement which enables them to
participate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit with several banks.
Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of
portfolio shares. Interest is charged to each participating portfolio based on
its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.75%.
In addition, a commitment fee of 1/10th of 1% per annum, payable at the end of
each calendar quarter, is accrued by each participating portfolio based on
their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. During the period
ended April 30, 1996, there were no borrowings under the agreement.

Dear Shareholder:
 
The following provides a detailed description of the securities held and
statement of operations for the Cooke & Bieler Balanced Portfolio for the six
month period ended April 30, 1996.
 
Over this most recent six month period, the Portfolio had a total return of
8.64%, slightly better than the Benchmark Index's return of 8.27%. The
Benchmark Index is a blended return of 60% of the S&P 500 Index and 40% of the
Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Index. Individually, the S&P 500 Index
had a total return during this period of 13.76% and the Lehman Brothers
Government/Corporate Index had a total return of 0.04%. We are satisfied with
these most recent results. Our strategy is to protect the substantial gains
achieved in 1995 and heretofore in 1996. Although Cooke & Bieler is not a
"market timing" firm, we are concerned about the overall valuation of most
financial assets.
 
As of April 30, 1996, the Portfolio's assets were allocated 59% to common
stocks, 39% to bonds and 2% to cash equivalents.
 
The internal research effort at Cooke & Bieler remains focused on "high
quality/low risk" companies, as well as "high quality/low risk" bonds. The
common stocks held in this Portfolio should prove to be intrinsically
profitable, pay responsible dividends and may have the ability to grow
dividends at better than market rates. On the bond side, the majority of the
holdings are obligations of the U.S. Government with an average maturity of
about 5 years.
 
                                          Sincerely,

                                          /s/ Peter A. Thompson

                                          Peter A. Thompson
 
                    DEFINITIONS OF THE COMPARATIVE INDICES
                    --------------------------------------
 
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index composed of 400 industrial, 40
financial, 40 utilities and 20 transportation stocks.
 
The Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Index is an unmanaged index composed
of a combination of the Government and Corporate Bond Indices. The Government
Index includes public obligations of the U.S. Treasury, issues of Government
agencies, and corporate debt backed by the U.S. Government. The Corporate Bond
Index includes fixed-rate nonconvertible corporate debt. Also included are
Yankee Bonds and nonconvertible debt issued by or guaranteed by foreign or
international governments and agencies. All issues are
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
 
investment grade (BBB) or higher, with maturities of at least one year and
outstanding par value of at least $100 million for U.S. Government issues and
$25 million for others. Any security downgraded during the month is held in
the Index until month-end and then removed. All returns are market value
weighted inclusive of accrued income.
 
The Benchmark Index, a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices, reflects
the Portfolio's typical mix of 60% stocks and 40% bonds. The index combines
returns from the S&P 500 Index and the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate
Index.
 
Comparisons of performance assume reinvestment of dividends.
 
Please note that one can not invest in an unmanaged index.
 
The investment results presented in the Adviser's letter represent past
performance and should not be construed as a guarantee of future results. If
the Adviser did not have temporary fee waivers on behalf of the Portfolio,
total return would have been lower. The investment return and principal value
of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed,
may be worth more or less than their original cost.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds"), were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The C & B Balanced Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"), a portfolio of UAM Funds, Inc., began operations on December 29,
1989. At April 30, 1996, the UAM Funds were comprised of thirty-seven active
portfolios. The financial statements of the remaining portfolios are presented
separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the Portfolio
in the preparation of its financial statements. Generally accepted accounting
principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Equity securities listed on a securities exchange
  for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last
  quoted sales price as of the close of the exchange on the day the valuation
  is made or, if no sale occurred on such day, at the bid price on such day.
  Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the
  security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter and unlisted equity
  securities are valued at the current bid price. Fixed income securities are
  stated on the basis of valuations provided by brokers and/or a pricing
  service which uses information with respect to transactions in fixed income
  securities, quotations from dealers, market transactions in comparable
  securities and various relationships between securities in determining
  value. Short-term investments that have remaining maturities of sixty days
  or less at time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, if it
  approximates market value. The value of other assets and securities for
  which no quotations are readily available is determined in good faith at
  fair value using methods determined by the Board of Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements.
 
  Paid in capital, undistributed net investment income and accumulated net
  realized gain have been adjusted for prior year permanent book-tax
  differences.
 
  At April 30, 1996, the Portfolio's cost of investments for Federal income
  tax purposes was approximately $20,387,000. Net unrealized appreciation for
  Federal income tax purposes aggregated approximately $3,145,000 of which
  $3,269,000 related to appreciated securities and $124,000 related to
  depreciated securities.
 
  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolio's custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
  collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy
  of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase,
  the Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
  proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event

                           C & B BALANCED PORTFOLIO
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)

  of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
  and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.
 
  4. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all its net investment income to shareholders quarterly. Any
  realized net capital gains will normally be distributed annually. All
  distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions are
  determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may
  differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are
  primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the
  recognition of gains or losses on investments.
 
  5. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date, the
  date the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and
  losses on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
  Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums
  on securities purchased are amortized over their respective lives. Most
  expenses of the UAM Funds can be directly attributed to a particular
  portfolio. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
  among the portfolios of the UAM Funds based on their relative net assets.
  Additionally, certain expenses are apportioned among the portfolios of the
  UAM Funds and AEW Commercial Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an
  affiliated closed-end management investment company, based on their
  relative net assets. Custodian fees for the Portfolio have been increased
  to include expense offsets for custodian balance credits.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement,
Cooke & Bieler, Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of United
Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment advisory services to
the Portfolio at a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.625% of average daily
net assets. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its
advisory fees and to assume expenses, if necessary, in order to keep the
Portfolio's total annual operating expenses, after the effect of expense
offset arrangements, from exceeding 1.00% of average daily net assets.
 
C. ADMINISTRATION SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion. The fees are allocated among the
portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW on the basis of their relative net assets
and are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per portfolio which rises
from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a portfolio, to $70,000 annually
after two years. For Portfolios with more than one class of shares, the
minimum annual fee increases to $90,000. In addition, the Administrator
receives a Portfolio-specific monthly
 
                                      11

                           C & B BALANCED PORTFOLIO
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)

fee of 0.06% of average daily net assets for the Portfolio. Also effective
April 15, 1996, the Administrator has entered into a Mutual Funds Service
Agreement with Chase Global Funds Services Company ("CGFSC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., under which CGFSC agrees to
provide certain services, including but not limited to, administration, fund
accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent services. Pursuant to the
Mutual Funds Service Agreement, the Administrator pays CGFSC a monthly fee.
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined aggregate average
daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20% of the first $200
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.08% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but less than $3 billion, plus
0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion.
 
For the period April 15, 1996 to April 30, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
earned $3,535 from the Portfolio as Administrator.
 
D. DISTRIBUTION SERVICES: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolio. The
Distributor does not receive any fee or other compensation with respect to the
Portfolio.
 
E. PURCHASES AND SALES: For the period ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio
made purchases and sales of approximately $2,444,000 and $3,937,000,
respectively, of investment securities other than long-term U.S. Government
and short-term securities. Purchases of long-term U.S. Government securities
were approximately $541,000. There were no sales and maturities of long-term
U.S. Government securities.
 
F. DIRECTORS' FEES: Each Director, who is not an officer or affiliated person,
receives $2,000 per meeting attended, which is allocated proportionally among
the active portfolios of UAM Funds and AEW, plus a quarterly retainer of $150
for each active portfolio of the UAM Funds and AEW, and reimbursement of
expenses incurred in attending Board meetings.
 
G. LINE OF CREDIT: The Portfolio, along with certain other portfolios of UAM
Funds, collectively entered into an agreement which enables them to
participate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit with several banks.
Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of
portfolio shares. Interest is charged to each participating portfolio based on
its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.75%.
In addition, a commitment fee of 1/10th of 1% per annum, payable at the end of
each calendar quarter, is accrued by each participating portfolio based on
their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. During the period
ended April 30, 1996, there were no borrowings under the agreement.
 
H. OTHER: At April 30, 1996, 46.5% of total shares outstanding were held by
three record shareholders owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares
outstanding.

Dear Shareholder:
 
The following provides a detailed description of the securities held and
statement of operations for the Cooke & Bieler Equity Portfolio for the six
month period ended April 30, 1996.
 
Over this most recent six month period, the Portfolio had a total return of
14.46%, better than the S&P 500's return of 13.76%. We are gratified by these
most recent results. Our strategy is to protect the substantial gains achieved
in 1995 and heretofore in 1996, realizing that if the market were to duplicate
last year's results, that the Portfolio would most likely appreciate by a
lesser amount. Although Cooke & Bieler is not a "market timing" firm, we are
concerned about the overall valuation of the S&P 500.
 
Cooke & Bieler's internal research effort continues to be focused on well
managed companies with strong financial characteristics. The companies held in
the Portfolio have strong balance sheets, are highly profitable, and should
produce above average earnings and dividend growth. Such characteristics
should produce strong relative results if the investment environment turns
hostile and yet these same characteristics should allow the Portfolio to
participate meaningfully in any further market advance.
 
Our overall goal remains the same--to outperform the S&P 500 Index over the
longer term and to do so, by taking less risk than the overall market.
 
                                          Sincerely,
                                          /s/ Peter A. Thompson

                                          Peter A. Thompson
 
                      DEFINITION OF THE COMPARATIVE INDEX
                      ----------------------------------- 

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index composed of 400 industrial, 40
financial, 40 utilities and 20 transportation stocks.
 
Comparisons of performance assume reinvestment of dividends.
 
Please note that one can not invest in an unmanaged index.
 
The investment results presented in the Adviser's letter represent past
performance and should not be construed as a guarantee of future results. The
investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that
an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
original cost.

financial statements of the remaining portfolios are presented separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the Portfolio
in the preparation of its financial statements. Generally accepted accounting
principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Securities listed on a securities exchange for which
  market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sales
  price as of the close of the exchange on the day the valuation is made or,
  if no sale occurred on such day, at the bid price on such day. Price
  information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the
  security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter and unlisted securities are
  valued at the current bid price. Short-term investments that have remaining
  maturities of sixty days or less at time of purchase are valued at
  amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The value of other assets
  and securities for which no quotations are readily available is determined
  in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of
  Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements.
 
  At April 30, 1996, the Portfolio's cost of investments for Federal income
  tax purposes was approximately $197,865,000. Net unrealized appreciation
  for Federal income tax purposes aggregated approximately $48,584,000, of
  which $50,078,000 related to appreciated securities and $1,494,000 related
  to depreciated securities.
 
  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolio's custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
  collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy
  of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase,
  the Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
  proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or
  bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
  retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.
 
  4. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders quarterly.
  Any realized net capital gains will normally be distributed annually. All
  distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions are
  determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may
  differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
  differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the
  timing of the recognition of gains or losses on investments.
 
  5. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the date
  the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
  on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
  Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Most expenses of the
  UAM Funds can be directly attributed to a particular portfolio. Expenses
  which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the portfolios of
  the UAM Funds based on their relative net assets. Additionally, certain
  expenses are apportioned among the portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW
  Commercial Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an affiliated closed-end
  management investment company, based on their relative net assets.
  Custodian fees for the Portfolio have been increased to include expense
  offsets for custodian balance credits.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement,
Cooke & Bieler, Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of United
Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment advisory services to
the Portfolio at a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.625% of average daily
net assets. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its
advisory fees and to assume expenses, if necessary, in order to keep the
Portfolio's total annual operating expenses, after the effect of expense
offset arrangements, from exceeding 1.00% of average daily net assets.
 
C. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion. The fees are allocated among the
portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW on the basis of their relative net assets
and are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per portfolio which rises
from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a portfolio, to $70,000 annually
after two years. For Portfolios with more than one class of shares, the
minimum annual fee increases to $90,000. In addition, the Administrator
receives a Portfolio-specific monthly fee of 0.04% of average daily net assets
for the Portfolio. Also effective April 15, 1996, the Administrator has
entered into a Mutual Funds Service Agreement with Chase Global Funds Services
Company ("CGFSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A., under which CGFSC agrees to provide certain services, including but not
limited to, administration, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer
agent services. Pursuant to the Mutual Funds Service Agreement, the
Administrator pays CGFSC a monthly fee.
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
aggregate average daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20%
of the first $200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of
the next $800 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.08% of the
combined aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but less than $3
billion; plus 0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $3
billion.
 
For the period April 15, 1996 to April 30, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
earned $14,056 from the Portfolio as Administrator.
 
D. DISTRIBUTION SERVICES: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolio. The
Distributor does not receive any fee or other compensation with respect to the
Portfolio.
 
E. PURCHASES AND SALES: For the period ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio
made purchases and sales of approximately $41,133,000 and $67,177,000,
respectively, of investment securities other than long-term U.S. Government
and short-term securities. There were no purchases and sales of long-term U.S.
Government securities.
 
F. DIRECTORS' FEES: Each Director, who is not an officer or affiliated person,
receives $2,000 per meeting attended, which is allocated proportionally among
the active portfolios of UAM Funds and AEW, plus a quarterly retainer of $150
for each active portfolio of the UAM Funds and AEW, and reimbursement of
expenses incurred in attending Board meetings.
 
G. LINE OF CREDIT: The Portfolio, along with certain other portfolios of UAM
Funds, collectively entered into an agreement which enables them to
participate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit with several banks.
Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of
portfolio shares. Interest is charged to each participating portfolio based on
its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.75%.
In addition, a commitment fee of 1/10th of 1% per annum, payable at the end of
each calendar quarter, is accrued by each participating portfolio based on
their average daily unused portion of the line of credit. During the period
ended April 30, 1996, there were no borrowings under the agreement.
 
H. OTHER: At April 30, 1996, 14.2% of total shares outstanding were held by
one record shareholder owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares
outstanding.

                                 APRIL 30, 1996
<PAGE>
 
Dear Shareholder,
 
We are pleased to present the semi-annual report for the Acadian International
Equity Portfolio. This commentary covers the six months from November 1, 1995
to April 30, 1996, focusing on the Portfolio's performance and some of the
economic and market conditions that impacted returns.
 
PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE REVIEW
 
Total return for the six months ended April 30, 1996 was 14.84% in U.S.
dollars. The benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Index for
Europe, Australia, and the Far East (EAFE), returned 13.21%.
 
ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS
 
The developed international equity markets as represented by the EAFE Index
returned 13.21% for the six months ended April 30, 1996, as strong gains were
recorded in many markets. The main engine of stock market returns was Japan,
which makes up approximately 40% of the EAFE Index and returned 18.08% for the
six-month period. While Japan was lackluster for most of 1995, investors began
to return late in the year, attracted by low equity valuations, a weaker yen,
improving economic news, and signs that the government would move to resolve
the crisis in the banking industry. Other Asian markets were also strong, with
Hong Kong rising 16.0%, Singapore 15.9%, and Malaysia 28.0%. In Europe, most
equity markets were lackluster at year-end due to economic slowdowns and
political uncertainty, but regained momentum in the first few months of 1996
as governments lowered interest rates and economic fundamentals looked to be
improving. France was the strongest major European market for the six-month
period, returning 14.6%, while Germany and the U.K. returned 4.3% and 5.5%
respectively.
 
Generally, larger companies did better than smaller ones in the last two
months of 1995, with the Salomon Brothers Extended Market Index of smaller
companies underperforming the larger-cap Primary Market Index. However, this
trend reversed itself in January, and the first four months of 1996 saw a
marked outperformance by smaller international companies.
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY USED DURING THE FIRST HALF
 
Acadian continued to pursue its disciplined, value-based strategy, using
quantitative valuation frameworks to identify the most attractive companies in
our 16,000+ security database. While these frameworks are tailored to reflect
the unique conditions of each market, some of the key factors used in valuing
companies include price/book ratio, price/earnings ratio, capitalization size,
price momentum, changes in analysts' earnings estimates, and a proprietary
dividend discount model.
 
While a prediction of overall market return is an explicit input into the
valuation of each stock, Acadian portfolios are built from the bottom up, and
thus country and industry weightings are the result of buying the most
attractive stocks in the investment universe (while maintaining a reasonable
level of benchmark-relative risk). This stock-selection approach led to the
Portfolio being overweighted in several key countries over the six-month
period, including Australia, France, Canada, and Singapore. The Portfolio was
underweighted in Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
 
The resulting Portfolio had very attractive valuation characteristics, with a
price/book value, price/sales ratio, and price/earnings ratio all
significantly lower than the benchmark index. The Portfolio also had a
somewhat
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
 
smaller orientation than the EAFE Index, with proportionally more assets in
the mid-size $1-$5 billion capitalization range, and somewhat fewer assets in
the larger-size range of $5-$10 billion in capitalization.
 
COMMENTARY ON THE PORTFOLIO'S INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE
 
As noted above, the Acadian International Equity Portfolio returned 14.84% for
the six months ended April 30, 1996, versus a return of 13.21% for the EAFE
Index. Over the period, country selection contributed positively to the
Portfolio's total return, outperforming the benchmark index by 60 basis
points. Stock selection netted out to a neutral return over the period,
outperforming strongly in January and February, but underperforming the
benchmark moderately in other months. The final component of return, currency,
added 100 basis points. This was the result of a 7.7% hedge against the
Japanese yen, which contributed positively to Portfolio return as the yen
weakened in March and April.
 
Some of the more significant Portfolio allocations impacting returns included:
 
 . FRANCE: The Portfolio's overweighting in France had a positive impact on
  returns from a country allocation perspective, adding 20 basis points.
  However, stock selection underperformed the benchmark by 120 basis points. A
  crippling strike, followed by the government's abandoning of key aspects of
  its economic reform program, caused smaller, economically sensitive stocks
  to underperform in a highly uncertain political and economic environment.
  This trend reversed itself in the first few months of 1996, but not enough
  to prevent an overall underperformance of 100 basis points.
 
 . GERMANY: The Portfolio's underweighting in Germany added 20 basis points of
  value as this market underperformed the benchmark as a whole. However, a
  small 10-basis-point underperformance in stock selection offset this
  slightly. Generally, smaller, value-oriented stocks in the Portfolio tended
  to underperform as Germany suffered from slowing economic growth, a strong
  Deutschemark which hurt exports, fears of rising unemployment, and a
  downgrade of corporate earnings. Thus the total performance for the
  Portfolio's German holdings was 10 basis points above the benchmark.
 
 . JAPAN: Successful stock selection led to positive value-added from the
  Japanese market in the six months ended April 30. Among the Portfolio's good
  buys were undervalued financial stocks which had been beaten down by
  economic worries but subsequently returned to full value, as well as stocks
  in the consumer goods sector that responded positively to increasing demand
  as the economy improved. In total, Japanese holdings added 180 basis points
  of return.
 
 . UNITED KINGDOM: Unlike the markets of continental Europe, the U.K. had a
  fairly robust year in 1995 and did not experience the same degree of
  economic stagnation. Its equity market continued to post new highs, with the
  result that the first few months of 1996 have been characterized by concern
  about overheating. Value stocks did well in this environment, as investors
  moved out of the larger, growth-oriented stocks that had risen so sharply
  over the last year. The result was a 60-basis-point outperformance for the
  Portfolio from stock selection.
 
CURRENT OUTLOOK
 
We continue to find extremely attractive valuations in the international
equity markets, particularly in the smaller- to mid-cap sector. As an asset
class, international small-caps have underperformed major cap-weighted
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
 
indices for over five years, creating the opportunity to purchase a range of
attractive companies at very compelling fundamental valuation levels. Looking
ahead, we see several other favorable trends in the international equity
markets. As reported widely in the financial press (for example, the 1/29/96
Wall Street Journal), U.S. assets have been moving into non-U.S. equity
markets at an unprecedented rate, helping support strong stock market returns.
The economic climate is characterized by falling interest rates in many key
markets, amid continued low inflation. Key countries including Germany,
France, and Japan have launched broad-based programs for additional economic
stimulus. These trends, combined with the current modest valuation levels of
many international markets, should create, we believe, a favorable environment
for value-focused equity investing.

3500.
 
Sincerely,

                      DEFINITION OF THE COMPARATIVE INDEX
                      -----------------------------------
 
The Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index is an unmanaged index
composed of arithmetic, market value weighted averages of the performance of
over 900 securities listed on the stock exchanges of countries in Europe,
Australia and the Far East.
 
Comparisons of performance assume reinvestment of dividends.
 
Please note that one can not invest in an unmanaged index.
 
The investment results presented in the Adviser's letter represent past
performance and should not be construed as a guarantee of future results. If
the Adviser did not have temporary fee waivers and did not assume expenses on
behalf of the Portfolio, total return for the Portfolio would have been lower.
The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so
that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their
original cost. For a complete discussion of the risks associated with
international investing, please refer to the Portfolio's Prospectus.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds") were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The Acadian International Equity Portfolio
(the "Portfolio"), a portfolio of UAM Funds, Inc., began operations on March
29, 1993. At April 30, 1996, the UAM Funds were comprised of thirty-seven
active portfolios. The financial statements of the remaining portfolios are
presented separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the Portfolio
in the preparation of its financial statements. Generally accepted accounting
principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Securities listed on a United States securities
  exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
  the last quoted sales price as of the close of the exchange on the day the
  valuation is made or, if no sale occurred on such day, at the bid price on
  such day. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at their
  closing price. Price information on listed securities is taken from the
  exchange where the security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter and
  unlisted securities are valued at the current bid price. Short-term
  investments that have remaining maturities of sixty days or less at time of
  purchase are valued at amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The
  value of other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily
  available is determined in good faith at fair value using methods
  determined by the Board of Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements. The Portfolio may be subject to taxes imposed by
  countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on either
  income or gains earned or repatriated. The Portfolio accrues such taxes
  when the related income is earned.
 
  Paid in capital, undistributed net investment income and accumulated net
  realized gain have been adjusted for prior year permanent book-tax
  differences. Reclassifications between undistributed net investment income
  and accumulated net realized gain arose principally from differing book and
  tax treatments for foreign currency transactions; reclassifications between
  paid in capital and undistributed net investment income arose principally
  from differing book and tax treatments for deferred organization costs
  (Note A7).
 
  At April 30, 1996, the Portfolio's cost of investments for Federal income
  tax purposes was approximately $16,685,000. Net unrealized appreciation for
  Federal income tax purposes aggregated approximately $597,000, of which
  $1,271,000 related to appreciated securities and $674,000 related to
  depreciated securities.
 
  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolio's custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
  collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy
  of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase,
  the Portfolio
 
                                      16
<PAGE>
 
                    ACADIAN INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
  has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in
  satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by
  the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the
  collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings.
 
  4. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: The books and records of the Portfolio are
  maintained in U.S dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
  liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
  dollars at the bid prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars last
  quoted by a major bank. The Portfolio does not isolate that portion of
  realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the
  foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market
  prices of the securities. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency
  transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from forward
  foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies,
  currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on
  securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the
  investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolio's
  books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
 
  5. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: The Portfolio may enter
  into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to protect the value of
  securities held and related receivables and payables against changes in
  future foreign exchange rates. A forward currency contract is an agreement
  between two parties to buy or sell currency at a set price on a future
  date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in
  currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily using the
  forward rate and the change in market value is recorded by the Portfolio as
  unrealized gain or loss. The Portfolio recognizes realized gain or loss
  when the contract is closed, equal to the difference between the value of
  the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was
  closed. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the
  potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts
  and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the
  contracts, if any, at the date of default. Risks may also arise from
  unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the
  U.S. dollar.
 
  6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all its net investment income to shareholders annually. Any
  realized net capital gains will normally be distributed annually. All
  distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which
  may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences
  are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the
  recognition of gains or losses on forward foreign currency contracts and
  permanent differences as presented in Note A2.
 
  7. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the date
  the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
  on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
  except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon
  as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is
  recognized on the accrual basis. Most expenses of the UAM Funds can be
  directly attributed to a particular portfolio. Expenses which cannot be
  directly attributed are apportioned among the portfolios of the UAM Funds
  based on their relative net assets. Additionally, certain expenses are
  apportioned among the portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW Commercial
  Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
                    ACADIAN INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)
  affiliated closed-end management investment company, based on their
  relative net assets. Custodian fees for the Portfolio have been increased
  to include expense offsets for custodian balance credits. Costs incurred by
  the Portfolio in connection with its organization have been deferred and
  are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year period.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement,
Acadian Asset Management, Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment advisory
services to the Portfolio at a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% of
the first $50 million of average daily net assets, 0.65% of the next $50
million of average daily net assets, 0.50% of the next $100 million average
daily net assets and 0.40% of the average daily net assets in excess of $200
million. Effective January 1, 1996, the Adviser has voluntarily agreed to
waive a portion of its advisory fees and to assume expenses on behalf of the
Portfolio, if necessary, in order to keep the Portfolio's total annual
operating expenses, after the effect of expense offset arrangements, from
exceeding 1.00% of average daily net assets. Prior to January 1, 1996, the
Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fees and to
assume expenses, if necessary, in order to keep the Portfolio's total annual
operating expenses, after the effect of expense offset arrangements, from
exceeding 2.50% of average daily net assets.
 
C. ADMINISTRATION SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion. The fees are allocated among the
portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW on the basis of their relative net assets
and are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per portfolio which rises
from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a portfolio, to $70,000 annually
after two years. For Portfolios with more than one class of shares, the
minimum annual fee increases to $90,000. In addition, the Administrator
receives a Portfolio-specific monthly fee of 0.06% of average daily net assets
for the Portfolio. Also effective April 15, 1996, the Administrator has
entered into a Mutual Funds Service Agreement with Chase Global Funds Services
Company ("CGFSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A., under which CGFSC agrees to provide certain services, including but not
limited to, administration, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer
agent services. Pursuant to the Mutual Funds Service Agreement, the
Administrator pays CGFSC a monthly fee.
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined aggregate average
daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20% of the first $200
million of the combined aggregate net assets plus 0.12% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets;
 
                                      18

                    ACADIAN INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)

plus 0.08% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but
less than $3 billion; plus 0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in
excess of $3 billion.
 
For the period April 15, 1996 to April 30, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
earned $3,375 from the Portfolio as Administrator.
 
D. DISTRIBUTION SERVICES: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolio. The
Distributor does not receive any fee or other compensation with respect to the
Portfolio.
 
E. PURCHASES AND SALES: For the period ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio
made purchases of $17,353,000 and sales of $4,600,000 of investment securities
other than long-term U.S. Government and short-term securities. There were no
purchases and sales of long-term U.S. Government securities.
 
F. DIRECTORS' FEES: Each Director, who is not an officer or affiliated person,
receives $2,000 per meeting attended, which is allocated proportionally among
the active portfolios of UAM Funds and AEW, plus a quarterly retainer of $150
for each active portfolio of the UAM Funds and AEW, and reimbursement of
expenses incurred in attending Board meetings.
 
G. LINE OF CREDIT: The Portfolio, along with certain other portfolios of UAM
Funds, collectively entered into an agreement which enables it to participate
in a $100 million unsecured line of credit with several banks. Borrowings will
be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of portfolio shares.
Interest is charged to each participating portfolio based on its borrowings at
a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.75%. In addition, a
commitment fee of 1/10th of 1% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar
quarter, is accrued by each participating portfolio based on their average
daily unused portion of the line of credit. During the period ended April 30,
1996, there were no borrowings under the agreement.
 
H. OTHER: At April 30, 1996, 93.8% of total shares outstanding were held by
two record shareholders owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares
outstanding.
 
At April 30, 1996, the net assets of the Portfolio were substantially
comprised of foreign denominated securities and/or currency. Changes in
currency exchange rates will affect the value and investment income from such
securities.
 
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations
and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated
transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibly lower level of
governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the
possibility of political or economic instability.
 
During the six months ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio had in-kind
transactions of securities with a value of $13,538,344, including unrealized
appreciation of $405,537.

                  SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
                    APRIL 30, 1996
<PAGE>
 
Dear Shareholder,
 
We are pleased to present the semi-annual report for the Acadian Emerging
Markets Portfolio. This commentary covers the six months from November 1, 1995
to April 30, 1996, focusing on the Portfolio's performance and some of the
economic and market conditions that impacted returns.
 
PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE REVIEW
 
For the six months ended April 30, 1996, the Acadian Emerging Markets
Portfolio returned 12.67%, versus 15.15% for the IFC Investable Index, a
widely followed emerging markets benchmark.
 
ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS
 
The world's emerging equity markets, as represented by the IFC Investable
Index, returned 15.15% for the six months ended April 30, 1996. This robust
performance was in marked contrast to most of 1995, a year which saw generally
declining returns following the currency crisis in Mexico which sparked a
major sell-off in emerging markets around the world. The negative environment
drove equity valuations down to the point where by year end, as Mexico's
economy began to recover and other countries showed continued growth,
investors began to return in search of bargains. In January, the IFC
Investable Index rose a sharp 8.5%, and generally continued to gain in the
months leading up to April 30.
 
Looking at individual regions over the period, Latin American markets were
generally very strong, with Argentina (+38.7%) and Mexico (+30.4%) dominating.
The Europe/Africa/Middle East region also had a robust six months,
particularly in Eastern Europe where the Czech Republic returned 18.4%, Poland
48.9%, and Hungary posted a 25.4% gain. More lackluster was South Africa,
returning just 1.1%, and some markets in emerging Asia, although Malaysia and
Indonesia were strong.
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY USED DURING THE FIRST HALF
 
Acadian continues to pursue its highly structured and disciplined approach to
the emerging markets, using a database of information on over 60 emerging
markets and 4,800 stocks. Our emerging markets process emphasizes country
selection, but also examines a variety of factors at the stock level. Using
proprietary dividend-discount models which evaluate each country's market in
aggregate as well as aggregate-market P/E and P/B ratios. Acadian regularly
ranks all emerging markets in its universe according to their relative
attractiveness. Acadian's multi-factor valuation process is also applied at
the stock level, identifying the most attractive stocks in each market.
 
As a result, the Portfolio was invested in 15 emerging equity markets,
compared with 26 in the benchmark. Key overweightings were Greece, Argentina,
Brazil, Hungary, the Philippines, Portugal, Turkey, and Thailand, while key
underweightings were South Africa, Korea, and Malaysia.
 
                                       1

The resulting Portfolio had very attractive valuation characteristics, with a
price/book value, prices/sales ratio, and price/earnings ratio all
significantly lower than the benchmark index. The Portfolio also had a
somewhat smaller orientation than the IFC Investable Index, with relatively
more assets in the mid-size $1-$5 billion capitalization range, and fewer
assets in the larger-size range of $5-$20 billion in capitalization.
 
COMMENTARY ON THE PORTFOLIO'S INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE
 
As noted above, the Acadian Emerging Markets Portfolio returned 12.67% for the
six months ended April 30, 1996, versus a return of 15.15% for the IFC
Investable Index. While stock selection was generally strong over the period,
contributing 30 basis points of return in excess of the benchmark, country
selection underperformed by 270 basis points. Some of the more significant
portfolio allocations impacting returns included:
 
 .  THAILAND: The Portfolio was overweighted in Thailand, which detracted 60
   basis points from returns as this market underperformed the IFC Investable
   Index as a whole. However, stock selection was successful, adding back 80
   basis points in an environment characterized by strong exports and the
   moderating of what some had feared to be too-rapid economic growth.
 
 .  SOUTH AFRICA: The Portfolio's underweighting in South Africa was
   successful, adding 70 basis points. South Africa proved to be one of the
   worst-performing markets in the IFC Investable Index for the period, amid a
   very weak currency and concerns that the economy was peaking. Value-
   oriented stock selection added 10 basis points of additional value, for a
   total outperformance of 80 basis points.
 
 .  HUNGARY: Eastern Europe proved to be another source of value added for the
   Portfolio, as capital inflows were very strong and these markets surged.
   The Portfolio's overweighting in Hungary added value, while stock selection
   also outperformed. The total value added was 30 basis points.
 
 .  BRAZIL: One of the larger overweightings in the Portfolio was Brazil, where
   fundamentals appeared to be improving and many attractively valued stocks
   were available. The country allocation detracted from returns slightly as
   this market underperformed the IFC Investable Index by a small margin.
   Stock selection detracted 120 basis points as the Portfolio's more
   economically sensitive, value-oriented stocks reacted to concerns about the
   widening deficit and the possibility of a rise in inflation. The end result
   was an underperformance of 150 basis points.
 
 .  MALAYSIA: The Portfolio was underweighted in Malaysia, which detracted 100
   basis points as the Malaysian market had a strong six months driven by an
   improving economic outlook, reduced trade deficit, and controlled growth.
 
 .  OTHER: The overweighting in Greece detracted 100 basis points from return
   as this market underperformed, while the Portfolio's lack of investment in
   Taiwan detracted 50 basis points versus the benchmark as this market
   performed strongly. The overweighting in Argentina was successful, adding
   50 basis points, and in Mexico stock selection added 60 basis points amid
   signs of economic recovery.
 
CURRENT OUTLOOK
 
After two years of relative underperformance while earnings gains have
generally continued strong, equity valuations in the emerging markets are
currently at very compelling levels. Many analysts are predicting a strong
influx of new U.S. pension money into this sector in 1996, as institutions
seek to reallocate funds ballooned by the strong U.S. market performance last
year (for example, see the Wall Street Journal, 1/29/96). Our own market
intelligence confirms this prediction. While investors should carefully
consider the higher level of volatility and
 
                                       2

risk in these markets, we strongly believe the emerging markets remain a
critical asset class for investors seeking optimal portfolio diversification
and the potential for strong long-term excess returns.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust, (collectively the "UAM Funds") were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The Acadian Emerging Markets Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"), a portfolio of UAM Funds, Inc., began operations on June 17,
1993. At April 30, 1996, the UAM Funds were comprised of thirty-seven active
portfolios. The financial statements of the remaining portfolios are presented
separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the Portfolio
in the preparation of its financial statements. Generally accepted accounting
principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Securities listed on a United States securities
  exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
  the last quoted sales price as of the close of the exchange on the day the
  valuation is made or, if no sale occurred on such day, at the bid price on
  such day. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at their
  closing price. Price information on listed securities is taken from the
  exchange where the security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter and
  unlisted securities are valued at the current bid price. Short-term
  investments that have remaining maturities of sixty days or less at time of
  purchase are valued at amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The
  value of other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily
  available is determined in good faith at fair value using methods
  determined by the Board of Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements. The Portfolio may be subject to taxes imposed by
  countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on either
  income or gains earned or repatriated. The Portfolio accrues such taxes
  when the related income is earned.
 
  Paid in capital, undistributed net investment income and accumulated net
  realized gain (loss) have been adjusted for prior year permanent book-tax
  differences. Reclassifications between undistributed net investment income
  and accumulated net realized gain (loss) arose principally from differing
  book and tax treatments for foreign currency transactions;
  reclassifications between paid in capital and undistributed net investment
  income arose principally from differing book and tax treatments for
  deferred organization costs (Note A7).
 
  At April 30, 1996, the Portfolio's cost of investments for Federal income
  tax purposes was approximately $49,205,000. Net unrealized appreciation for
  Federal income tax purposes aggregated approximately $3,630,000 of which
  $7,056,000 related to appreciated securities and $3,426,000 related to
  depreciated securities.
 
  For the year ended October 31, 1995, the Portfolio utilized capital loss
  carryovers for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $20,000.
 
  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolio's custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal
 
                                      19
<PAGE>
 
                      ACADIAN EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)

  amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the
  extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value
  of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the
  adequacy of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to
  repurchase, the Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and
  apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of
  default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
  and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.
 
  4. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: The books and records of the Portfolio are
  maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
  liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
  dollars at the bid prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars last
  quoted by a major bank. The Portfolio does not isolate that portion of
  realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the
  foreign exchange rate from flucuations arising from changes in the market
  prices of the securities. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency
  transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from forward
  foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies,
  currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on
  securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the
  investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolio's
  books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
 
  5. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: The Portfolio may enter
  into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to protect the value of
  securities held and related receivables and payables against changes in
  future foreign exchange rates. A forward currency contract is an agreement
  between two parties to buy or sell currency at a set price on a future
  date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in
  currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily using the
  forward rate and the change in market value is recorded by the Portfolio as
  unrealized gain or loss. The Portfolio recognizes realized gain or loss
  when the contract is closed, equal to the difference between the value of
  the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was
  closed. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the
  potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts
  and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the
  contracts, if any, at the date of default. Risks may also arise from
  unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the
  U.S. dollar.
 
  6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders annually.
  Any realized net capital gains will normally be distributed annually. All
  distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which
  may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences
  are primarily due to permanent differences as presented in Note A2.
 
  7. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the date
  the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
  on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
  except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon
  as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is
  recognized on the accrual basis. Most expenses of the UAM Funds can be
  directly attributed to a particular portfolio. Expenses which cannot be
  directly attributed are apportioned among the portfolios of the UAM Funds
  based on their relative net assets. Additionally, certain expenses are
  apportioned among
 
                                      20

                      ACADIAN EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO
 
            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)

  the portfolios of the UAM Funds based on their relative net assets.
  Additionally, certain expenses are apportioned among the portfolios of the
  UAM Funds and AEW Commercial Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an
  affiliated closed-end management investment company, based on their
  relative net assets. Custodian fees of the Portfolio have been increased to
  include expense offsets for custodian balance credits. Costs incurred by
  the Portfolio in connection with its organization have been deferred and
  are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year period.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement,
Acadian Asset Management, Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment advisory
services to the Portfolio at a fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of
average daily net assets. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a
portion of its advisory fees and to assume expenses, if necessary, in order to
keep the Portfolio's total annual operating expenses, after the effect of
expense offset arrangements, from exceeding 2.50% of average daily net assets.
 
C. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion. The fees are allocated among the
portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW on the basis of their relative net assets
and are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per portfolio which rises
from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a portfolio, to $70,000 annually
after two years. For Portfolios with more than one class of shares, the
minimum annual fee increases to $90,000. In addition, the Administrator
receives a Portfolio-specific monthly fee of 0.06% of average daily net assets
for the Portfolio. Also effective April 15, 1996, the Administrator has
entered into a Mutual Funds Service Agreement with Chase Global Funds Services
Company ("CGFSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A., under which CGFSC agrees to provide certain services, including but not
limited to, administration, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer
agent services. Pursuant to the Mutual Funds Service Agreement, the
Administrator pays CGFSC a monthly fee.
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined aggregate average
daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20% of the first $200
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.08% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but less than $3 billion; plus
0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion.
 
For the period April 15, 1996 to April 30, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
earned $4,232 from the Portfolio as Administrator.

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)

D. DISTRIBUTION SERVICES: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolio. The
Distributor does not receive any fee or other compensation with respect to the
Portfolio.
 
E. PURCHASES AND SALES: For the period ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio
made purchases of $13,751,000 and sales of $1,849,000 of investment securities
other than long-term U.S. Government and short-term securities. There were no
purchases and sales of long-term U.S. Government securities.
 
F. DIRECTORS' FEES: Each Director, who is not an officer or affiliated person,
receives $2,000 per meeting attended, which is allocated proportionally among
the active portfolios of UAM Funds and AEW, plus a quarterly retainer of $150
for each active portfolio of the UAM Funds and AEW, and reimbursement of
expenses incurred in attending Board meetings.
 
G. OTHER: At April 30, 1996, 71.0% of total shares outstanding were held by
two record shareholder owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares
outstanding.
 
At April 30, 1996, the net assets of the Portfolio were substantially
comprised of foreign denominated securities and/or currency. Changes in
currency exchange rates will affect the value and investment income from such
securities.
 
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations
and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated
transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibly lower level of
government supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the
possibility of political or economic instability.

Dear Shareholders,
 
DISCIPLINED VALUE PORTFOLIO
 
The Disciplined Value Portfolio is off to a great start in the new fiscal
year. For the six month period ended April 30, 1996, the Portfolio returned
18.31% versus 13.76% for the S&P 500 Index and 13.03% for the Lipper Equity
Income Funds Average (the Portfolio's category).
 
In the first calendar quarter of 1996, the stock market posted its fifth
consecutive quarter of 5% plus returns as record cash inflows continued to
power mutual fund investments in the US stock market. In a turnabout from
1995, stock prices rose without the help of lower interest rates.
 
Economic activity slowed early in the first calendar quarter and evidence of
inventory building began to show up in many sectors. Government procurement
was interrupted as a result of the continuing budget impasse in Washington and
general economic activity was negatively impacted by a series of wide-spread
winter storms in January. This early weakness, however, proved to be short-
lived. Real Gross Domestic Product came in at a surprisingly strong 2.8% for
the quarter and corporations continued to report better than expected
earnings.
 
The Disciplined Value Portfolio performed very well in this environment. The
biggest contributor to the first calendar quarter performance was the CONSUMER
STAPLES area, by virtue of its largest weighting of any sector in the S&P 500
and the strong performance of the RETAIL sub-sector. Department stores and
specialty retailers rebounded after a weak Christmas season and after very
poor stock price performance in 1995. The Portfolio was well represented in
this area with Kmart (+32%), Sears Roebuck (+26%), and Liz Claiborne (+25%).
 
Our stock selection in the CAPITAL GOODS sector also was especially good, with
GM Hughes up 29%, United Technologies up 19%, and Varity up 17%. The FINANCIAL
area was very rewarding too, in spite of the higher interest rate environment.
The Portfolio had a solid exposure in this area, with Chase Manhattan
(formerly Chemical Banking), BankAmerica, and American Express all up about
20%.
 
Our TECHNOLOGY sector selections were mixed. IBM rose 22% and Information
Resources was up 17%, but Xerox fell 8% and Digital Equipment declined 14%. We
sold about half the Digital position in February, when the stock was up 16% on
the year, so the overall Digital position actually had a slightly positive
effect on the portfolio.
 
The only sector with negative returns in the first calendar quarter was the
UTILITY sector, as both the TELEPHONE and ELECTRIC UTILITY stocks sold off
with the bond market. The Portfolio's exposure was lower than the market here
and it also benefitted from superior stock selection relative to the market.
 
LIMITED MATURITY BOND PORTFOLIO
 
For the six month period ended April 30, 1996 non-money market interest rates
increased by 45 to 65 basis points depending on maturity. The yield on a three
year US Treasury note, which is representative of the average maturity in the
Portfolio, increased by 50 basis points to 6.18% during the period. In this
environment of modestly lower bond prices, the Portfolio returned 1.59% for
the six month period compared with the Lipper 1-5 Year Short Investment Grade
Debt Funds Average return of 1.86% and the Merrill Lynch 1-4.99 Year
Corporate/Government Bond Index (gross of fees) return of 1.78%.
 
We believe that a marked change in market psychology has been the reason for
recent higher interest rates. What has prompted this change? First, varying
economic statistics, including a first quarter increase in Gross Domestic
Product of 2.8%, suggest that economic growth is greater than previously
thought. In general, the bond market
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
 
believes that a strengthening economy may portend worsening future inflation.
Increased inflation reduces the purchasing power of bonds causing their prices
to decline. Second, on the inflation front, near record gains in grain prices
coupled with the highest gasoline prices in twelve years and a move to
increase the minimum wage suggest that inflation may creep above three percent
for the first time in six years. Third, earlier optimism that balanced budget
legislation might have been signed into law by now has given way to a
realization that such legislation is dead until 1997 at the earliest. The
change in these economic and political factors has caused investors to
reexamine the aggressiveness of their commitment to the US bond market.
 
Looking ahead, we believe there is room for rates to rise further in 1996 for
the reasons cited above plus two others outlined below. First, other parts of
the industrialized world (Japan and Western Europe) are taking steps to
reliquify their economies as well. This may result in the first period of
synchronous economic growth in a decade. A worldwide growth policy may
introduce another level of negative implications for investors' inflation
expectation. Second, over the past year foreign central banks, particularly
the Bank of Japan, have sold their currencies to buy US dollars in an attempt
to make their economies more competitive. They, then, have used their dollars
to purchase record amounts of US Treasury securities. We believe this trend is
unsustainable, subject to reversal at any time, and represents a significant
source of potential incremental supply.
 
Mortgage-backed securities have performed well over the past six months. They
represent 49% of the Portfolio. We own a combination of US, agency-backed
pass-throughs (where the timely payment of principal and interest is insured
by Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation) and collateralized-mortgage obligations (CMOs). As always, we
carefully screen the CMO investment choices, and avoid mortgage derivatives
and any securities which may exhibit unusually volatile price movement.
 
The Portfolio is allowed to invest in double-B and single-B rated securities
in an amount up to 10% of the market value of the Portfolio. We take advantage
of this provision to use these well-researched, less-than-investment grade
issues as a means of building incremental yield into the portfolio and
reducing the interest rate sensitivity. The largest holding in these rating
categories represents 2.7% of the Portfolio.
 
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
 
In December, 1995 and February, 1996 the Federal Reserve lowered the federal
funds rate by 0.25%. These policy moves by the nation's central bank brought
the federal funds rate down to 5.25% and caused most other money market rates
to decline by 25 to 50 basis points during the period. The federal funds rate
is the rate that commercial banks buy and/or sell the excess reserves which
they legally require to manage their business. As of April 30, 1996 the
Portfolio had a 7-day current yield of 5.04% versus 5.08% for the Donoghue/IBC
Taxable Institutions--Only Money Fund Average.
 
We continue to pursue a strategy of investing in only the highest quality
short-term investments. Within this framework, we seek to find the best
yielding combination of money market securities including commercial paper and
repurchase agreements. At April 30, 1996 73% was invested in commercial paper
and 27% in repurchase agreements. The weighted average maturity at that time
was 15 days.
 
Sincerely,
 
/s/ Peter M. Whitman

less than their original cost.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds"), were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio, DSI
Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio and DSI Money Market Portfolio (the
"Portfolios"), portfolios of UAM Funds, Inc., began operations on December 12,
1989, December 18, 1989 and December 28, 1989, respectively. The DSI
Disciplined Value Portfolio is authorized to offer two separate classes of
shares--Institutional Class Shares and Institutional Service Class Shares. No
shares of the Portfolio's Institutional Service Class have been issued as of
April 30, 1996. At April 30, 1996, the UAM Funds were comprised of thirty-
seven active portfolios. The financial statements of the remaining portfolios
are presented separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the
Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Generally
accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Equity securities listed on a securities exchange
  for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last
  quoted sales price as of the close of the exchange on the day the valuation
  is made or, if no sale occurred on such day, at the bid price on such day.
  Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the
  security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter and unlisted equity
  securities are valued at the current bid price. Fixed income securities are
  stated on the basis of valuations provided by brokers and/or a pricing
  service which uses information with respect to transactions in fixed income
  securities, quotations from dealers, market transactions in comparable
  securities and various relationships between securities in determining
  value. Short-term investments that have remaining maturities of sixty days
  or less at time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, if it
  approximates market value. The value of other assets and securities for
  which no quotations are readily available is determined in good faith at
  fair value using methods determined by the Board of Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is each Portfolio's intention to continue to
  qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
  Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income.
  Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the
  financial statements.
 
  Undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain have
  been adjusted for prior year permanent book and tax differences.
  Reclassifications arose principally from differing book and tax treatments
  for paydown losses on mortgage-backed securities.
 
  At April 30, 1996, cost of investments and unrealized appreciation
  (depreciation) of investments for Federal income tax purposes was:

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)--(CONTINUED)

  At October 31, 1995, DSI Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio had available
  capital loss carryforwards of approximately $8,000, $1,607,000 and $69,000
  which will expire on October 31, 2001, October 31, 2002 and October 31,
  2003, respectively.
 
  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolios' custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
  collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy
  of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase,
  the Portfolios have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
  proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or
  bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
  retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.
 
  4. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTION: The books and records of the DSI
  Disciplined Value Portfolio and the DSI Limited Maturity Bond Portfolios'
  are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
  liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
  dollars at the bid prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars last
  quoted by a major bank. The DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio and the DSI
  Limited Maturity Bond Portfolios do not isolate that portion of realized or
  unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange
  rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the
  securities. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
  represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from forward foreign
  currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency
  gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities
  transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income
  and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the DSI Disciplined Value
  Portfolio and the DSI Limited Maturity Bond Portfolios books and the U.S.
  dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
 
  5. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: The DSI Disciplined Value
  Portfolio and DSI Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio may enter into forward
  foreign currency exchange contracts to protect the value of securities held
  and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign
  exchange rates. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two
  parties to buy or sell currency at a set price on a future date. The market
  value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange
  rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily using the forward rate and
  the change in market value is recorded by the DSI Disciplined Value
  Portfolio and DSI Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio as unrealized gains or
  losses. The DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio and DSI Limited Maturity Bond
  Portfolio recognize realized gains or losses, when the contract is closed,
  equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it
  was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks may arise upon
  entering into these contracts from the potential inability of
  counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and are generally
  limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the contracts, if any, at the
  date of default. Risks may also arise from unanticipated movements in the
  value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
  6. FUTURES CONTRACTS: The DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio and the DSI
  Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio's purchases and sales of futures contracts
  are designed to hedge a portion of its investments against changes in value
  or as an alternative to purchasing or selling actual securities. Upon
  entering into a futures

  contract, DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio and DSI Limited Maturity Bond
  Portfolio are required to deposit with a broker an amount in cash or
  securities ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the purchase
  price indicated in the futures contract. Subsequent payments ("variation
  margin") are made or received by DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio and DSI
  Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio each day and are recorded for financial
  reporting purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When futures
  contracts are closed, the difference between the opening value at the date
  of purchase and the value at closing is recorded as realized gain or loss
  in the statement of operations. Futures contracts are valued at the
  settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on
  which they are traded. Futures contracts involve market risk in excess of
  the amounts recognized in the statement of net assets. Risks arise from the
  possible movements in security values underlying these instruments. The
  change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value
  of their underlying instruments, which may not correlate with the change in
  value of the hedged investments. In addition, there is a risk that DSI
  Disciplined Value and DSI Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio may not be able
  to enter into a closing contract transaction because of an illiquid
  secondary market.
 
  The Portfolio had the following futures contracts open at April 30, 1996:

</TABLE>
 
 
  7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The DSI Money Market Portfolio will
  normally distribute substantially all of its net investment income to
  shareholders monthly. The DSI Disciplined Value and DSI Limited Maturity
  Bond Portfolios will normally distribute substantially all of their net
  investment income to shareholders quarterly. Any realized net capital gains
  will normally be distributed annually. All distributions are recorded on
  the ex-dividend date.
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which
  may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences
  are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for the recognition
  of losses on investments and permanent differences as presented in Footnote
  A2.
 
  8. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the date
  the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
  on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
  Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums
  on securities purchased are amortized over their respective lives. Most
  expenses of the UAM Funds can be directly attributed to a particular
  portfolio. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
  among the portfolios of the UAM Funds based on their relative net assets.
  Additionally, certain expenses are apportioned among the portfolios of the

C. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent

million of the combined aggregate assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2 billion of
the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined aggregate net
assets in excess of $3 billion. The fees are allocated among the portfolios of
the UAM Funds and AEW on the basis of their relative net assets and are
subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per portfolio which rises from
$2,000 per month, upon inception of a portfolio, to $70,000 annually after two
years. For Portfolios with more than one class of shares, the minimum annual
fee increases to $90,000. In addition, the Administrator receives a Portfolio-
specific monthly fee of 0.06%, 0.04% and 0.02% of average daily net assets for
DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio, DSI Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio and DSI

Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., under which CGFSC agrees to provide certain
services, including but not limited to, administration, fund accounting,
dividend disbursing and transfer agent services. Pursuant to the Mutual Funds
Service Agreement, the Administrator pays CGFSC a monthly fee.
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined aggregate average
daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20% of the first $200
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.08% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but less than $3 billion; plus
0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
 
SAMI PREFERRED STOCK INCOME PORTFOLIO
 
Over the three months ended April 30, 1996, the total net assets of SAMI
Preferred Stock Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio") decreased from $33.6
million to $32.7 million. This, coupled with the $0.2 million decrease in the
first fiscal quarter, gives the Portfolio a $0.9 million decrease in assets
year to date. Although assets declined minimally during the second quarter and
year to date, we continue to have a big push on the marketing effort in order
to build up the asset base.
 
The total return for the quarter ended April 30, 1996 was 3.35% compared to
1.17% for the three-month Treasury Bills based on the Salomon Brothers 1-3
year Treasury Index. On a taxable equivalent basis, corporate tax paying
investors qualifying for the 70% dividends received deduction (DRD) would have
needed 3.69% for the quarter in order to achieve the same after tax return
earned on the Portfolio. The total return for the six months ended April 30,
1996 was 3.25% compared to 2.66% for the three-month Treasury Bills based on
the Salomon Brothers 1-3 year Treasury Index. This would gross up to 4.42% for
fully taxable clients qualifying for the 70% DRD. We believe the quarter's
performance was made possible by a combination of holding the right stocks and
managing the hedge effectively. The Portfolio was positioned in preferred
stocks that were able to take advantage of spreads tightening between the
underlying securities (preferred stocks) and the hedge (Treasury Notes and
Bonds). Given the technicals in the preferred stock market (supply vs.
demand), we believed that the stocks would outperform Treasuries regardless of
the direction of interest rates. As a result, we invested in stocks with good
convexity to take advantage of the upside potential relative to our hedging
instrument.
 
Interest rates rose significantly over the entire yield curve during the
second fiscal quarter. The 30 year Treasury Bond rose almost 1% over the time
period discussed. Our ongoing strategy of shorting Treasury futures and buying
put options on those futures protected the Portfolio's principal value in this
difficult environment for fixed-income securities. We are now deploying the
gains from our hedge in more preferred stocks at even higher current yields.
 
Looking ahead, the technicals of the preferred stock market continue to be
strong. New issuance is minimal and many issuers continue to redeem, exchange
or tender for outstanding stock.
 
In the coming months, we plan to add to the Portfolio's bank securities
holdings. Given the continued pressure on the utility industry with the
prospect of increased competition getting close to reality, we believe it is
prudent to diversify up to 25% of the Portfolio in preferred stocks of
investment grade banks. We will continue to maintain at least 65% of the
assets in utilities, but reduce the exposure from its current level of 100%.
 
Although the fate of the White House proposal to reduce the DRD from 70% to
50% has not been determined to date and probably won't be until after the
election in November, we continue to see strong support for our efforts to
keep the DRD at 70%.

ENHANCED MONTHLY INCOME PORTFOLIO
 
During the period since inception on November 15, 1995 to April 30, 1996, the
total net assets of the Enhanced Monthly Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio")
grew and remained stable at $1.9 million.
 
The total return for the Portfolio for the second fiscal quarter ended April
30, 1996 was 2.08% compared to 1.17% for the three month Treasury Bills based
on the Salomon Brothers 1-3 year Treasury Index. For the period since
inception to April 30, 1996, the total return for the Portfolio was 4.23%
compared to 3.22% for the Smith 3 month Treasury Bills based on the Salomon
Brothers 1-3 year Treasury Index. The Portfolio outperformed the Benchmark
Index as a result of successful execution of the investment strategy. Despite
a difficult market for fixed income securities (30 year Treasury Bond yields
rose almost 1% and, therefore, prices fell), we were able to achieve above-
market returns by maintaining our ongoing strategy of shorting Treasury
futures and/or buying puts on Treasury futures. We are now deploying the gains
from our hedge in more fixed income securities at even higher yields.
 
Looking ahead, our strategy continues to be geared toward finding those fixed
income securities with the greatest value and maintaining a hedge to help
minimize the interest rate risk. The prospect of continued above-market
performance should help in our efforts to grow the Portfolio this year.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
                                          
/s/ Scott T. Fleming                      /s/ Mark A. Lieb

                      DEFINITION OF THE COMPARATIVE INDEX
                      -----------------------------------
 
The Salomon Brothers 1-3 Year Treasury Index includes only U.S. Treasury Notes
and Bonds with maturities one year or greater and less than three years.
 
Comparisons of performance assume reinvestment of dividends.
 
Please note that one cannot invest in an unmanaged index.
 
The investment results presented in the Adviser's letter represent past
performance and should not be construed as a guarantee of future results. If
the Adviser did not have temporary fee waivers on behalf of the SAMI Preferred
Stock Income Portfolio, total return for the SAMI Preferred Stock Income
Portfolio would have been lower. If the Adviser did not have temporary fee
waivers and did not assume expenses on behalf of the Enhanced Monthly Income
Portfolio, total return for the Enhanced Monthly Income Portfolio would have
been lower. The investment return and principal value of an investment will
fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or
less than their original cost.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds") were
organized on October 11, 1988 and May 18, 1994, respectively, and are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end
management investment companies. The SAMI Preferred Stock Income Portfolio and
the Enhanced Monthly Income Portfolio (the "Portfolios"), portfolios of UAM
Funds, Inc., began operations on June 23, 1992 and November 15, 1995,
respectively. At April 30, 1996, the UAM Funds were comprised of thirty-seven
active portfolios. The financial statements of the remaining portfolios are
presented separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the
Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Generally
accepted accounting principles may require management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
  1. SECURITY VALUATION: Securities listed on a securities exchange for which
  market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sales
  price as of the close of the exchange on the day the valuation is made or,
  if no sale occurred on such day, at the mean of the bid and asked prices on
  such day. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange
  where the security is primarily traded. Prices for preferred stocks,
  obtained from independent sources, which are not considered reasonable by
  the Investment Adviser are valued based on methods approved by the Board of
  Directors. Over-the-counter and unlisted securities are valued at the mean
  of the current bid and asked prices. Short-term investments that have
  remaining maturities of sixty days or less at time of purchase are valued
  at amortized cost, if it approximates market value. The value of other
  assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available is
  determined in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the
  Board of Directors.
 
  2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is each Portfolio's intention to qualify as a
  regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
  Code and to distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision
  for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
 
  Paid in capital, undistributed net investment income and accumulated net
  realized loss have been adjusted for prior year permanent book-tax
  differences for the SAMI Preferred Stock Income Portfolio.
 
  At April 30, 1993, cost of investments and unrealized appreciation
  (depreciation) of investments for Federal Income Tax purposes were:

  At October 31, 1995, the SAMI Preferred Stock Income Portfolio had
  available a capital loss carryover for Federal income tax purposes of
  approximately $295,000 and $8,940,000 which will expire on October 31, 2001
  and October 31, 2003, respectively.

  3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions in repurchase
  agreements, the Portfolios' custodian bank takes possession of the
  underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount of
  the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that
  any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
  collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to determine the adequacy
  of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase,
  the Portfolios have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
  proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or
  bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
  retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
  proceedings.
 
  4. FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Portfolios' purchases and sales of futures
  contracts are designed to hedge a portion of their investments against
  changes in value or as an alternative to purchasing or selling actual
  securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolios are
  required to deposit with a broker an amount in cash or securities ("initial
  margin") equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price indicated in
  the futures contract. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or
  received by the Portfolios each day and are recorded for financial
  reporting purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When futures
  contracts are closed, the difference between the opening value at the date
  of purchase and the value at closing is recorded as realized gain or loss
  in the statement of operations. Futures contracts are valued at the
  settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on
  which they are traded. Futures contracts involve market risk in excess of
  the amounts recognized in the statement of net assets. Risks arise from the
  possible movements in security values underlying these instruments. The
  change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value
  of their underlying instruments, which may not correlate with the change in
  value of the hedged investments. In addition, there is risk that the
  Portfolios may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of
  an illiquid secondary market.
 
  The Portfolios had the following futures contracts open at April 30, 1996:

  5. PURCHASED AND WRITTEN OPTIONS: The Portfolios may write covered call and
  put options. Premiums are received and are recorded as liabilities, and
  subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums
  received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains.
  Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are canceled
  in closing purchase transactions are offset against the proceeds or amount
  paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. By writing
  a call option, a Portfolio foregoes in exchange for the premium the
  opportunity for capital appreciation above the exercise price should the
  market price of the underlying security increase. Possible losses from
  written options may be unlimited.
 
  The Portfolios may also purchase call and put options on their portfolio
  securities. The Portfolios may purchase call and put options to close out
  covered call and put positions or to protect against an increase in the
  price of the security it anticipates purchasing. Possible losses from
  purchased options cannot exceed the total amount invested.
 
  Use of put and call options could result in losses to the Portfolios, force
  the purchase or sale of portfolio securities at inopportune times or for
  prices higher or lower than current market value, or cause the Portfolios
  to hold a security it might otherwise not purchase or sell. Losses
  resulting from the use of options will reduce the Portfolios' net asset
  value, and possible income, and the losses may be greater than if options
  had not been used.
 
  6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Each Portfolio will normally distribute
  substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders monthly. Any
  realized net capital gains will normally be distributed annually. All
  distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
 
  The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
  paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which
  may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences
  are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the
  recognition of gains or losses on investments.
 
  7. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the date
  the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
  on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
  identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
  Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums
  on securities purchased are amortized over their respective lives. Most
  expenses of the UAM Funds can be directly attributed to a particular
  portfolio. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
  among the portfolios of the UAM Funds based on their relative net assets.
  Additionally, certain expenses are apportioned among the portfolios of the
  UAM Funds and AEW Commercial Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an
  affiliated closed-end management investment company, based on their
  relative net assets. Custodian fees for each Portfolio have been increased
  to include expense offsets for custodian balance credits.
 
  Prior year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in
  ending undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of
  calculating net investment income (loss) per share in the financial
  highlights.
 
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of investment advisory agreements,
Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment advisory
services to the Portfolios for a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.70% of
average daily net

assets of the SAMI Preferred Stock Income Portfolio and 0.60% of average daily
net assets of the Enhanced Monthly Income Portfolio. The Adviser has
voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fees and to assume
expenses, if necessary, in order to keep the Portfolios' total annual
operating expenses, after the effect of expense offset arrangements, from
exceeding 0.99% and 1.00% of average daily net assets, respectively.
 
C. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES: Effective April 15, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
(the "Administrator"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees
administrative, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
services to the UAM Funds and AEW under an Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to
receive annual fees, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.19% of the first
$200 million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.11% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.07% of the next $2
billion of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.05% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion. The fees are allocated among the
portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW on the basis of their relative net assets
and are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per portfolio which rises
from $2,000 per month, upon inception of a portfolio, to $70,000 annually
after two years. For Portfolios with more than one class of shares, the
minimum annual fee increases to $90,000. In addition, the Administrator
receives a Portfolio-specific monthly fee of 0.06% and 0.04% of average daily
net assets for the SAMI Preferred Stock Income Portfolio and Enhanced Monthly
Income Portfolio, respectively. Also effective April 15, 1996, the
Administrator has entered into a Mutual Funds Service Agreement with Chase
Global Funds Services Company ("CGFSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The
Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., under which CGFSC agrees to provide certain
services, including but not limited to, administration, fund accounting,
dividend disbursing and transfer agent services. Pursuant to the Mutual Funds
Service Agreement, the Administrator pays CGFSC a monthly fee.
 
Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC served as the administrator to the UAM Funds
and AEW. For its services as administrator CGFSC received annual fees,
computed daily and payable monthly, based on the combined aggregate average
daily net assets of the UAM Funds and AEW, as follows: 0.20% of the first $200
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.12% of the next $800
million of the combined aggregate net assets; plus 0.08% of the combined
aggregate net assets in excess of $1 billion but less than $3 billion; plus
0.06% of the combined aggregate net assets in excess of $3 billion.
 
For the period April 15, 1996 to April 30, 1996, UAM Fund Services, Inc.
earned $1,034 and $3,772 from SAMI Preferred Stock Income Portfolio and
Enhanced Monthly Income Portfolio, respectively, as Administrator.

for each active portfolio of the UAM Funds and AEW, and reimbursement of
expenses incurred in attending board meetings.
 
G. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT: The Portfolios invest primarily in preferred and
fixed income securities in the utilities industry. The Portfolios are more
susceptible to economic factors adversely affecting the utilities industry
than portfolios that are not concentrated in this industry to the same extent.
 
H. LINE OF CREDIT: The SAMI Preferred Stock Income Portfolio, along with
certain other portfolios of UAM Funds, collectively entered into an agreement
which enables them to participate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit
with several banks. Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the
repurchase of portfolio shares. Interest is charged to each participating
portfolio based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate plus 0.75%. In addition, a commitment fee of 1/10 of 1% per annum,
payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued by each participating
portfolio based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
During the period ended April 30, 1996, there were no borrowings under the
agreement.
 
I. OTHER: At April 30, 1996, the percentage of total shares outstanding held
