REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

   Returns through September continued to reflect the very positive conditions
for investing in the U.S. stock and bond markets. Low inflation, strong
corporate profit growth and the investing needs of the "Baby Boom" generation
have been the drivers. In the last few weeks, events have unfolded that bring
into question the continuation of these excellent returns.

   The recent turmoil in Southeast Asia has shaken and certainly increased the
volatility of the world markets. The economies of Latin America have also become
a concern due to austerity measures being taken by the Brazilian government. In
addition, Iraq has once again become a focus of our foreign policy and military
intervention is a possibility.

   What does this imply for the financial markets as we look forward into next
year? First, volatility has increased and the stock markets have corrected from
their highs. Our economy should remain healthy, but grow more slowly than would
have otherwise been the case. Manufacturing companies with large exports,
including technology and capital goods companies, will be more affected than
domestic based companies or those with more consumer oriented products.

   An offset to this is lower inflation than would have been expected, as
products imported into the U.S. will become less expensive. Interest rates have
declined as a result, improving returns from fixed income investments. Our
economy will benefit also from the reduced borrowing costs for consumers.

   Our investment philosophy for equities has served us well in this market. We
study and are concerned about world economies. However, our primary focus is on
investing in large, out of favor companies where we believe the valuation is
compelling and a fundamental case for improvement exists.

   A recent purchase for the funds, Electronic Data Systems, is such an example.
It is one of the largest information technology companies in the world. Wall
Street is ignoring this depressed stock due to concerns over near term earnings.
EDS is currently reducing its cost structure and adding substantially to new
business. This should lead to higher profitability in 1998 and beyond.

   We will continue to maintain a defensive posture with the fixed income
portion of the Balanced Fund due to the present level of interest rates. Our
focus will remain on short term government and high coupon, callable corporate
issues.

COMPARATIVE CHARTS

   Performance for each Fund is compared on the next page to the most
appropriate broad-based index, the S&P 500, an unmanaged index of 500 large
common stocks. Over time, this index has outpaced the FBP Contrarian Balanced
Fund which maintains at least a 25% commitment to bonds. Balanced funds have the
growth potential to outpace inflation, but they will typically be outperformed
by a 100% stock index over the long term because of the bond portion of their
portfolios. However, the advantage of the bond portion is that it can make the
return and principal of a balanced fund more stable than a portfolio completely
invested in stocks. Results are also compared to the Consumer Price Index, a
measure of inflation.

   Thank you for your continued confidence and investment in The Flippin, Bruce
& Porter Funds.

THE FLIPPIN, BRUCE & PORTER FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 (UNAUDITED)
===============================================================================

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The FBP Contrarian Equity Fund and the FBP Contrarian Balanced Fund (the Funds)
are no-load, diversified series of the Williamsburg Investment Trust (the
Trust), an open-end management investment company registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust was organized as a
Massachusetts business trust on July 18, 1988.

The FBP Contrarian Equity Fund seeks long-term growth of capital through
investment in a diversified portfolio comprised primarily of equity securities,
with current income as a secondary objective.

The FBP Contrarian Balanced Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and
current income through investment in a balanced portfolio of equity and fixed
income securities assuming a moderate level of investment risk.

The following is a summary of the Funds' significant accounting policies:

Securities valuation -- The Funds' portfolio securities are valued as of the
close of business of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange
(currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Securities which are traded
over-the-counter are valued at the last sales price, if available, otherwise, at
the last quoted bid price. Securities traded on a national stock exchange are
valued based upon the closing price on the principal exchange where the security
is traded. It is expected that fixed income securities of the FBP Contrarian
Balanced Fund will ordinarily be traded on the over-the-counter market, and
common stocks of each Fund will ordinarily be traded on a national securities
exchange, but may also be traded on the over-the-counter market. When market
quotations are not readily available, fixed income securities may be valued on
the basis of prices provided by an independent pricing service.

Repurchase agreements -- The Funds generally enter into joint repurchase
agreements with other funds within the Trust. The joint repurchase agreement,
which is collateralized by U.S. Government obligations, is valued at cost which,
together with accrued interest, approximates market value. At the time the Funds
enter into the joint repurchase agreement, the Funds take possession of the
underlying securities and the seller agrees that the value of the underlying
securities, including accrued interest, will at all times be equal to or exceed
the face amount of the repurchase agreement. In addition, each Fund actively
monitors and seeks additional collateral, as needed.

Share valuation -- The net asset value per share of each Fund is calculated
daily by dividing the total value of each Fund's assets, less liabilities, by
the number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per
share of each Fund is equal to the net asset value per share.

Investment income -- Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased
are amortized in accordance with income tax regulations which approximate
generally accepted accounting principles.

Distributions to shareholders -- Dividends arising from net investment income
are declared and paid quarterly to shareholders of each Fund. Net realized
short-term capital gains, if any, may be distributed throughout the year and net
realized long-term capital gains, if any, are distributed at least once each
year. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations.

Security transactions -- Security transactions are accounted for on trade date.
Securities sold are valued on a specific identification basis.
<PAGE>

Options transactions -- The Funds may write covered call options for which
premiums are received and are recorded as liabilities, and are subsequently
valued daily at the closing prices on their primary exchanges. Premiums received
from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums
received from writing options which are exercised increase the proceeds used to
calculate the realized gain or loss on the sale of the security. If a closing
purchase transaction is used to terminate the Funds' obligation on a call, a
gain or loss will be realized, depending upon whether the price of the closing
purchase transaction is more or less than the premium previously received on the
call written.

Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Federal income tax -- It is each Fund's policy to comply with the special
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so qualifies
and distributes at least 90% of its taxable net income, the Fund (but not the
shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated
investment companies, it is also each Fund's intention to declare as dividends
in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during
the calendar year) and 98% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the
twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The following information is based upon the federal income tax cost of portfolio
investments of each Fund as of
September 30, 1997:

(a) In an effort to reduce the total operating expenses of the Fund, a portion
  of the Fund's administrative and custodian fees for periods ended prior to
  March 31, 1996 were paid through an arrangement with a third-party
  broker-dealer who was compensated through commission trades. Payment of the
  fees was based on a percentage of commissions earned. Absent expenses
  reimbursed through the directed brokerage arrangement, the ratios of expenses
  to average net assets would have been 1.00%, 1.16% and 1.20% for the years
  ended March 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)
===============================================================================
1.   Significant Accounting Policies

The Government Street Equity Fund, The Government Street Bond Fund, and The
Alabama Tax Free Bond Fund (the Funds) are each a no-load series of The
Williamsburg Investment Trust (the Trust). The Trust, an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 18, 1988.

The Government Street Equity Fund's investment objective is to seek capital
appreciation through the compounding of dividends and capital gains, both
realized and unrealized, on its investments in common stocks. Current income is
of secondary importance.

The Government Street Bond Fund's investment objectives are to preserve capital,
to provide current income and to protect the value of the portfolio against the
effects of inflation by limiting investments to fixed income securities in the
four highest quality ratings. Capital appreciation is of secondary importance.

The Alabama Tax Free Bond Fund's investment objectives are to provide current
income exempt from both federal income taxes and the personal income taxes of
Alabama and to preserve capital. Capital appreciation is of secondary
importance.

The following is a summary of the Funds' significant accounting policies:

Securities valuation -- The Funds' portfolio securities are valued as of the
close of business of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange
(currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Securities which are traded
over-the-counter are valued at the last sales price, if available, otherwise, at
the last quoted bid price. Securities traded on a national stock exchange are
valued based upon the closing price on the principal exchange where the security
is traded. It is expected that fixed income securities will ordinarily be traded
on the over-the-counter market, and common stocks will ordinarily be traded on a
national securities exchange, but may also be traded on the over-the-counter
market. When market quotations are not readily available, fixed income
securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent
pricing service.

Repurchase agreements -- The Funds generally enter into joint repurchase
agreements with other funds within the Trust. The joint repurchase agreement,
which is collateralized by U.S. Government obligations, is valued at cost which,
together with accrued interest, approximates market value. At the time the Funds
enter into the joint repurchase agreement, the Funds take possession of the
underlying securities and the seller agrees that the value of the underlying
securities, including accrued interest, will at all times be equal to or exceed
the face amount of the repurchase agreement. In addition, each Fund actively
monitors and seeks additional collateral, as needed.

Share valuation -- The net asset value per share of each Fund is calculated
daily by dividing the total value of each Fund's assets, less liabilities, by
the number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per
share of each Fund is equal to the net asset value per share.

Investment income -- Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased
are amortized in accordance with income tax regulations which approximate
generally accepted accounting principles.

Distributions to shareholders -- Dividends arising from net investment income
are declared and paid quarterly to shareholders of The Government Street Equity
Fund; declared and paid monthly to shareholders of The Government Street Bond
Fund; and declared daily and paid monthly to shareholders of The Alabama Tax
Free Bond Fund. Net realized short-term capital gains, if any, may be
distributed throughout the year and net realized long-term capital gains, if
any, are distributed at least once each year. Income distributions and capital
gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
<PAGE>

Security transactions -- Security transactions are accounted for on trade date.
Securities sold are valued on a specific identification basis.

Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Federal income tax -- It is each Fund's policy to comply with the special
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so qualifies,
and distributes at least 90% of its taxable net income, the Fund (but not the
shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated
investment companies, it is also each Fund's intention to declare as dividends
in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during
the calendar year) and 98% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the
twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The following information is based upon the federal income tax cost of portfolio
investments of each Fund as of September 30, 1997:

The tax basis of investments for each Fund is equal to the acquisition cost as
shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

As of March 31, 1997, The Government Street Bond Fund and The Alabama Tax Free
Bond Fund had capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of
$307,540, and $200,015, respectively, which expire through the year 2005. In
addition, The Government Street Bond Fund realized net capital losses of $90,284
during the period from November 1, 1996 through March 31, 1997, which are
treated for federal income tax purposes as arising in the tax year ending March
31, 1998. These capital loss carryforwards and "post-October" losses may be
utilized in the current and/or future years to offset net realized capital gains
prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.

2.  Investment Transactions

During the six months ended September 30, 1997, purchases and proceeds from
sales and maturities of investment securities, other than short-term
investments, amounted to $4,931,870 and $2,907,537, respectively, for The
Government Street Equity Fund, $5,115,622 and $2,117,779, respectively, for The
Government Street Bond Fund, and $1,787,239 and $160,000, respectively, for The
Alabama Tax Free Bond Fund.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Jamestown Balanced Fund (the Fund) is a no-load, diversified series of the
Williamsburg Investment Trust (the Trust), an open-end management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The
Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 18, 1988. The Fund
began operations on July 3, 1989.

The Fund's investment objectives are long-term growth of capital and income
through investment in a balanced portfolio of equity and fixed income
securities. Capital protection and low volatility are important investment
goals.

The following is a summary of the Fund's significant accounting policies:

Securities valuation -- The Fund's portfolio securities are valued as of the
close of business of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange
(currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Securities which are traded
over-the-counter are valued at the last sales price, if available, otherwise, at
the last quoted bid price. Securities traded on a national stock exchange are
valued based upon the closing price on the principal exchange where the security
is traded. It is expected that fixed income securities of the Fund will
ordinarily be traded on the over-the-counter market, and common stocks of the
Fund will ordinarily be traded on a national securities exchange, but may also
be traded on the over-the-counter market. When market quotations are not readily
available, fixed income securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided
by an independent pricing service. If a pricing service cannot provide a
valuation, securities will be valued in good faith at fair market value using
methods consistent with those determined by the Board of Trustees.

Repurchase agreements -- The Fund generally enters into joint repurchase
agreements with other funds within the Trust. The joint repurchase agreement,
which is collateralized by U.S. Government obligations, is valued at cost which,
together with accrued interest, approximates market. At the time the Fund enters
into the joint repurchase agreement, the seller agrees that the value of the
underlying securities, including accrued interest, will at all times be equal to
or exceed the face amount of the repurchase agreement. In addition, the Fund
actively monitors and seeks additional collateral, as needed.

Share valuation -- The net asset value per share of the Fund is calculated daily
by dividing the total value of the Fund's assets, less liabilities, by the
number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share
of the Fund is equal to the net asset value per share.

Investment income and distributions to shareholders -- Interest income is
accrued as earned. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized
in accordance with tax regulations. Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Discounts arising from net investment income are declared and
paid quarterly to shareholders of the Fund. Net realized short-term capital
gains, if any, may be distributed throughout the year and net realized long-term
capital gains, if any, are distributed at least once each year. Income
distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles.

                         September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)



Security transactions -- Security transactions are accounted for on trade date.
Securities sold are valued on a specific identification basis.

Securities traded on a "to-be-announced" basis -- The Fund occasionally trades
securities on a "to-be-announced" (TBA) basis. In a TBA transaction, the Fund
has committed to purchase securities for which all specific information is not
yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount in
mortgage-backed securities transactions. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are
not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later.
These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is
determined in the same manner as for other portfolio securities.

Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilites at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal income tax -- It is the Fund's policy to comply with the special
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so qualifies
and distributes at least 90% of its taxable net income, the Fund (but not the
shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated
investment companies, it is also the Fund's intention to declare as dividends in
each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the
calendar year) and 98% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the
twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The following information is based upon the federal income tax cost of portfolio
investments of $63,651,911 as of September 30, 1997:

   Gross unrealized appreciation....................................$22,921,402
   Gross unrealized depreciation....................................   (239,787)
                                                                    -----------
   Net unrealized appreciation..................................... $22,681,615
                                                                    ===========


2.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

During the six months ended September 30, 1997, purchases and proceeds from
sales and maturities of investment securities, other than short-term
investments, amounted to $38,690,573 and $30,926,560, respectively.

3.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Fund's investments are managed by Lowe, Brockenbrough & Tattersall, Inc.
(the Adviser) under the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement. Under the
Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a fee, which is
computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of .65% of its
average daily net assets up to $250 million; .60% of the next $250 million of
such net assets; and .55% of such net assets in excess of $500 million. Certain
trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of the Adviser.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
Under the terms of an Administrative Services Agreement with the Trust,
Countrywide Fund Services, Inc. (CFS) provides administrative, pricing,
accounting, dividend disbursing, shareholder servicing and transfer agent
services for the Fund. For these services, CFS receives a monthly fee from the
Fund at an annual rate of .20% of its average daily net assets up to $25
million; .175% of the next $25 million of such net assets; and .15% of such net
assets in excess of $50 million, subject to a $2,000 minimum monthly fee. In
addition, the Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses including, but not limited to,
postage, supplies, and cost of pricing the Fund's portfolio securities. Certain
officers of the Trust are also officers of CFS.


4.  DIRECTED BROKERAGE ARRANGEMENT

In order to reduce the total operating expenses of the Fund, the Fund's
custodian fees and a portion of other operating expenses have been paid through
an arrangement with a third-party broker-dealer who is compensated through
commission trades. Payment of expenses by the broker-dealer is based on a
percentage of commissions earned. Expenses reimbursed through the directed
brokerage arrangement totaled $12,000 for the six months ended September 30,
1997.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Jamestown Bond Fund (the Fund) is a no-load, diversified series of the
Williamsburg Investment Trust (the Trust), an open-end management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The
Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 18, 1988. The Fund
began operations on December 13, 1990.

The Fund's investment objective is to maximize total return, consisting of
current income and capital appreciation (both realized and unrealized),
consistent with the preservation of capital through active management of
investment grade fixed income securities.

The following is a summary of the Fund's significant accounting policies:

Securities valuation -- The Fund's portfolio securities are valued as of the
close of business of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange
(currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Securities which are traded
over-the-counter are valued at the last sales price, if available, otherwise, at
the last quoted bid price. Securities traded on a national exchange are valued
based upon the closing price on the principal exchange where the security is
traded. It is expected that fixed income securities of the Fund will ordinarily
be traded on the over-the-counter market. When market quotations are not readily
available, securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by an
independent pricing service. If a pricing service cannot provide a valuation,
securities will be valued in good faith at fair market value using methods
consistent with those determined by the Board of Trustees.

Repurchase agreements -- The Fund generally enters into joint repurchase
agreements with other funds within the Trust. The joint repurchase agreement,
which is collateralized by U.S. Government obligations, is valued at cost which,
together with accrued interest, approximates market. At the time the Fund enters
into the joint repurchase agreement, the seller agrees that the value of the
underlying securities, including accrued interest, will at all times be equal to
or exceed the face amount of the repurchase agreement. In addition, the Fund
actively monitors and seeks additional collateral, as needed.

Share valuation -- The net asset value per share of the Fund is calculated daily
by dividing the total value of the Fund's assets, less liabilities, by the
number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share
of the Fund is equal to the net asset value per share.

Investment income and distributions to shareholders -- Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned.
Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized in accordance with
income tax regulations. Dividends arising from net investment income are
declared and paid quarterly to shareholders of the Fund. Net realized short-term
capital gains, if any, may be distributed throughout the year and net realized
long-term capital gains, if any, are distributed at least once each year. Income
distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles.

Security transactions -- Security transactions are accounted for on trade date.
Securities sold are valued on a specific identification basis.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                         September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)


Securities traded on a "to-be-announced" basis -- The Fund occasionally trades
securities on a "to-be-announced" (TBA) basis. In a TBA transaction, the Fund
has committed to purchase securities for which all specific information is not
yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount in
mortgage-backed securities transactions. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are
not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later.
These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is
determined in the same manner as for other portfolio securities.

Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting priciples requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Federal income tax -- It is the Fund's policy to comply with the special
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so qualifies
and distributes at least 90% of its taxable net income, the Fund (but not the
shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated
investment companies, it is also the Fund's intention to declare as dividends in
each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the
calendar year) and 98% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the
twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The following information is based upon the federal income tax cost of portfolio
investments of $xx,xxx,xxx as of September 30, 1997:

   Gross unrealized appreciation....................................$ 2,241,370
   Gross unrealized depreciation........................................(93,226)
   Net unrealized depreciation......................................$ 2,148,144

As of March 31, 1997, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards for federal income
tax purposes of $1,440,604 which expire on March 31, 2004. These capital loss
carryforwards may be utilized in the current and future years to offset net
realized capital gains prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.

2.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

During the six months ended September 30, 1997, purchases and proceeds from
sales and maturities of investment securities, other than short-term
investments, amounted to $75,200,151 and $74,957,419, respectively.

3.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Fund's investments are managed by Lowe, Brockenbrough & Tattersall Strategic
Advisors, Inc. (the Advisor) under the terms of an Investment Advisory
Agreement. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor a
fee, which is computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of
 .375% of its average daily net assets. Certain trustees and officers of the
Trust are also officers of the Advisor.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
Under the terms of an Administrative Services Agreement with the Trust,
Countrywide Fund Services, Inc. (CFS) provides administrative, pricing,
accounting, dividend disbursing, shareholder servicing and transfer agent
services for the Fund. For these services, CFS receives a monthly fee from the
Fund at an annual rate of .075% of its average daily net assets up to $200
million and .05% of such net assets in excess of $200 million, subject to a
$2,000 minimum monthly fee. In addition, the Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses
including, but not limited to, postage, supplies, and cost of pricing the Fund's
portfolio securities. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of CFS.

4.  DIRECTED BROKERAGE ARRANGEMENT

In order to reduce the total operating expenses of the Fund, a portion of the
Fund's custodian fees have been paid through an arrangement with a third-party
broker-dealer who is compensated through security trades. Expenses reimbursed
through the directed brokerage arrangement totaled $11,481 for the six months
ended September 30, 1997.

                       THE JAMESTOWN SHORT TERM BOND FUND

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                         September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)


1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Jamestown Short Term Bond Fund (the Fund) is a no-load, diversified series
of the Williamsburg Investment Trust (the Trust), an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 18,
1988. The Fund began operations on January 21, 1992.

The Fund's investment objective is to maximize total return, consisting of
current income and capital appreciation (both realized and unrealized),
consistent with the preservation of capital through active management of high
quality short-term fixed income securities.

The following is a summary of the Fund's significant accounting policies:

Securities valuation -- The Fund's portfolio securities are valued as of the
close of business of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange
(currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Securities which are traded
over-the-counter are valued at the last sales price, if available, otherwise, at
the last quoted bid price. Securities traded on a national exchange are valued
based upon the closing price on the principal exchange where the security is
traded. It is expected that securities of the Fund will ordinarily be traded on
the over-the-counter market. When market quotations are not readily available,
securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent
pricing service. If a pricing service cannot provide a valuation, securities
will be valued in good faith at fair market value using methods consistent with
those determined by the Board of Trustees.

Repurchase agreements -- The Fund generally enters into joint repurchase
agreements with other funds within the Trust. The joint repurchase agreement,
which is collateralized by U.S. Government obligations, is valued at cost which,
together with accrued interest, approximates market. At the time the Fund enters
into the joint repurchase agreement, the seller agrees that the value of the
underlying securities, including accrued interest, will at all times be equal to
or exceed the face amount of the repurchase agreement. In addition, the Fund
actively monitors and seeks additional collateral, as needed.

Share valuation -- The net asset value per share of the Fund is calculated daily
by dividing the total value of the Fund's assets, less liabilities, by the
number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share
of the Fund is equal to the net asset value per share.

Investment income and distributions to shareholders -- Interest income is
accrued as earned. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized
in accordance with income tax regulations. Dividends arising from net investment
income are declared and paid quarterly to shareholders of the Fund. Net realized
short-term capital gains, if any, may be distributed throughout the year and net
realized long-term capital gains, if any, are distributed at least once each
year. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles.

Security transactions -- Security transactions are accounted for on trade date.
Securities sold are valued on a specific identification basis.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                         September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)



Securities traded on a "to-be-announced" basis -- The Fund occasionally trades
securities on a "to-be-announced" (TBA) basis. In a TBA transaction, the Fund
has committed to purchase securities for which all specific information is not
yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount in
mortgage-backed securities transactions. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are
not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later.
These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is
determined in the same manner as for other portfolio securities.

Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Federal income tax -- It is the Fund's policy to comply with the special
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so qualifies
and distributes at least 90% of its taxable net income, the Fund (but not the
shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated
investment companies, it is also the Fund's intention to declare as dividends in
each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the
calendar year) and 98% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the
twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The following information is based upon the federal income tax cost of portfolio
investments of the Fund as of September 30, 1997:

     Gross unrealized appreciation..........................$    28,995
     Gross unrealized depreciation...........................   (55,110)
                                                             ----------
     Net unrealized depreciation............................$   (26,115)
                                                             ==========

The tax basis of investments of the Fund is equal to the acquisition cost as
shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of March 31, 1997, the Fund
had capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $508,929 which
expire on March 31, 2004. In addition, the Fund had net realized capital losses
of $37,319 during the period from November 1, 1996 through March 31, 1997, which
are treated for federal income tax purposes as arising during the Fund's tax
year ending March 31, 1998. These capital loss carryforwards and "post-October"
losses may be utilized in the current and future years to offset net realized
capital gains prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.


2.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

During the six months ended September 30, 1997, purchases and proceeds from
sales and maturities of investment securities, other than short-term
investments, amounted to $2,110,878 and $1,691,847, respectively.

3.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Fund's investments are managed by Lowe, Brockenbrough & Tattersall Strategic
Advisors, Inc. (the Advisor) under the terms of an Investment Advisory
Agreement. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor a
fee, which is computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of
 .375% of its average daily net assets. The Advisor currently intends to limit
the total operating expenses of the Fund to .50% of its average daily net
assets; accordingly, the Advisor waived its entire investment advisory fee of
$18,435 and reimbursed the Fund for $2,703 of other operating expenses for the
six months ended September 30, 1997. Certain trustees and officers of the Trust
are also officers of the Advisor.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
Under the terms of an Administrative Services Agreement with the Trust,
Countrywide Fund Services, Inc. (CFS) provides administrative, pricing,
accounting, dividend disbursing, shareholder servicing and transfer agent
services for the Fund. For these services, CFS receives a monthly fee from the
Fund at an annual rate of .075% of its average daily net assets up to $200
million and .05% of such net assets in excess of $200 million, subject to a
$2,000 minimum monthly fee. In addition, the Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses
including, but not limited to, postage, supplies and cost of pricing the Fund's
portfolio securities. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of CFS.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Jamestown Equity Fund (the Fund) is a no-load, diversified series of the
Williamsburg Investment Trust (the Trust), an open-end management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The
Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 18, 1988. The Fund
began operations on December 1, 1992.

The Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital through
investment in a diversified portfolio composed primarily of common stocks.
Current income is incidental to this objective and may not be significant.

The following is a summary of the Fund's significant accounting policies:

Securities valuation -- The Fund's portfolio securities are valued as of the
close of business of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange
(currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Securities which are traded
over-the-counter are valued at the last sales price, if available, otherwise, at
the last quoted bid price. Securities traded on a national stock exchange are
valued based upon the closing price on the principal exchange where the security
is traded.

Repurchase agreements -- The Fund generally enters into joint repurchase
agreements with other funds within the Trust. The joint repurchase agreement,
which is collateralized by U.S. Government obligations, is valued at cost which,
together with accrued interest, approximates market. At the time the Fund enters
into the joint repurchase agreement, the seller agrees that the value of the
underlying securities, including accrued interest, will at all times be equal to
or exceed the face amount of the repurchase agreement. In addition, the Fund
actively monitors and seeks additional collateral, as needed.

Share valuation -- The net asset value per share of the Fund is calculated daily
by dividing the total value of the Fund's assets, less liabilities, by the
number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share
of the Fund is equal to the net asset value per share.

Investment income and distributions to shareholders -- Interest income is
accrued as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends arising from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly to
shareholders of the Fund. Net realized short-term capital gains, if any, may be
distributed throughout the year and net realized long-term capital gains, if
any, are distributed at least once each year. Income distributions and capital
gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations,
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Security transactions -- Security transactions are accounted for on trade date.
Securities sold are valued on a specific identification basis.

Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                         September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)


Federal income tax -- It is the Fund's policy to comply with the special
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so qualifies
and distributes at least 90% of its taxable net income, the Fund (but not the
shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated
investment companies, it is also the Fund's intention to declare as dividends in
each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the
calendar year) and 98% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the
twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The following information is based upon the federal income tax cost of portfolio
investments of $24,686,040 as of September 30, 1997:

   Gross unrealized appreciation.................................$11,195,342
   Gross unrealized depreciation...............................     (146,988)
                                                                 -----------
   Net unrealized appreciation...................................$11,048,354
                                                                 ===========

2.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

During the six months ended September 30, 1997, purchases and proceeds from
sales and maturities of investment securities, other than short-term
investments, amounted to $9,066,559 and $8,487,371, respectively.


3.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Fund's investments are managed by Lowe, Brockenbrough & Tattersall, Inc.
(the Adviser) under the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement. Under the
Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a fee, which is
computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of .65% of its
average daily net assets up to $500 million and .50% of such net assets in
excess of $500 million. Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also
officers of the Adviser.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
Under the terms of an Administrative Services Agreement with the Trust,
Countrywide Fund Services, Inc. (CFS) provides administrative, pricing,
accounting, dividend disbursing, shareholder servicing and transfer agent
services for the Fund. For these services, CFS receives a monthly fee from the
Fund at an annual rate of .20% of its average daily net assets up to $25
million; .175% of the next $25 million of such net assets; and .15% of such net
assets in excess of $50 million, subject to a $2,000 minimum monthly fee. In
addition, the Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses including, but not limited to,
postage, supplies, and costs of pricing the Fund's portfolio securities. Certain
officers of the Trust are also officers of CFS.

4.  DIRECTED BROKERAGE ARRANGEMENT

In order to reduce the total operating expenses of the Fund, the Fund's
custodian fees and a portion of other operating expenses have been paid through
an arrangement with a third-party broker-dealer who is compensated through
commission trades. Payment of expenses by the broker-dealer is based on a
percentage of commissions earned. Expenses reimbursed through the directed
brokerage arrangement totaled $6,000 for the six months ended September 30,
1997.

                     THE JAMESTOWN TAX EXEMPT VIRGINIA FUND

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                         September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)


1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Jamestown Tax Exempt Virginia Fund (the Fund) is a no-load series of the
Williamsburg Investment Trust (the Trust), an open-end management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The
Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 18, 1988. The Fund
began operations on September 1, 1993.

The Fund's investment objectives are to provide current income exempt from
federal income taxes and from the personal income taxes of Virginia, to preserve
capital, to limit credit risk and to take advantage of opportunities to increase
and enhance the value of an investment in the Fund. The Fund invests primarily
in debt obligations issued by the State of Virginia and its political
subdivisions, agencies, authorities and instrumentalities and by other issuers
the interest from which is exempt from the personal income taxes of Virginia.
The marketability and market value of these obligations may be affected by
certain Virginia constitutional amendments, legislative measures, executive
orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives and other political and
economic developments. If any such developments arise, they could adversely
affect the ability of various Virginia issuers to meet their financial
obligations and could impact the Fund's portfolio.

The following is a summary of the Fund's significant accounting policies:

Securities valuation -- The Fund's portfolio securities are valued as of the
close of business of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange
(currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Securities which are traded
over-the-counter are valued at the last sales price, if available, otherwise, at
the last quoted bid price. The Fund's securities will ordinarily be traded on
the over-the-counter market. When market quotations are not readily available,
securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by an independent
pricing service. If a pricing service cannot provide a valuation, securities
will be valued in good faith at fair market value using methods consistent with
those determined by the Board of Trustees.

Share valuation -- The net asset value per share of the Fund is calculated daily
by dividing the total value of the Fund's assets, less liabilities, by the
number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share
of the Fund is equal to the net asset value per share.

Investment income and distributions to shareholders -- Interest income is
accrued as earned. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized
in accordance with income tax regulations. Dividends arising from net investment
income are declared daily and paid on the last business day of each month to
shareholders of the Fund. Net realized short-term capital gains, if any, may be
distributed throughout the year and net realized long-term capital gains, if
any, are distributed at least once each year. Income distributions and capital
gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations,
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Security transactions -- Security transactions are accounted for on trade date.
Securities sold are valued on a specific identification basis.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                         September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)



Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Federal income tax -- It is the Fund's policy to comply with the special
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so qualifies
and distributes at least 90% of its taxable net income, the Fund (but not the
shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated
investment companies, it is also the Fund's intention to declare as dividends in
each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the
calendar year) and 98% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the
twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The following information is based upon the federal income tax cost of portfolio
investments of the Fund as of September 30, 1997:

  Gross unrealized appreciation......................................$ 500,393
  Gross unrealized depreciation........................................ (3,261)
                                                                     ---------
  Net unrealized appreciation .......................................$ 497,132
                                                                     =========

The tax basis of investments of the Fund is equal to the acquisition cost as
shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of March 31, 1997, the Fund
had capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $57,120 which
expire on March 31, 2004. These capital loss carryforwards may be utilized in
current and future years to offset net realized capital gains prior to
distributing such gains to shareholders.


2.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

During the six months ended September 30, 1997, purchases and proceeds from
sales and maturities of investment securities, other than short-term
investments, amounted to $6,876,024 and $1,574,276, respectively.

3.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Fund's investments are managed by Lowe, Brockenbrough & Tattersall, Inc.
(the Adviser) under the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement. Under the
Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a fee, which is
computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of .40% of its
average daily net assets up to $250 million; .35% of the next $250 million of
such net assets; and .30% of such net assets in excess of $500 million. The
Adviser currently intends to limit the total operating expenses of the Fund to
 .75% of average daily net assets. Accordingly, the Adviser voluntarily waived
$3,938 of its investment advisory fee for the six months ended September 30,
1997. Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of the
Adviser.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
Under the terms of an Administrative Services Agreement with the Trust,
Countrywide Fund Services, Inc. (CFS) provides administrative, pricing,
accounting, dividend disbursing, shareholder servicing and transfer agent
services for the Fund. For these services, CFS receives a monthly fee from the
Fund at an annual rate of .15% of its average daily net assets up to $200
million and .10% of such net assets in excess of $200 million, subject to a
$2,000 minimum monthly fee. In addition, the Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses
including, but not limited to, postage, supplies and costs of pricing the Fund's
portfolio securities. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of CFS.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Jamestown International Equity Fund (the Fund) is a no-load, diversified
series of the Williamsburg Investment Trust (the Trust), an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 18, 1988. The Fund
began operations on April 16, 1996.

The Fund's investment objective is to achieve superior total returns through
investment in equity securities of issuers located outside the United States.

The following is a summary of the Fund's significant accounting policies:

Securities valuation -- The Fund's portfolio securities are valued as of the
close of business of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange
(currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Securities which are traded
over-the-counter are valued at the last sales price, if available, otherwise, at
the last quoted bid price. Securities traded on a national or foreign stock
exchange are valued based upon the closing price on the principal exchange where
the security is traded. Foreign securities are translated from the local
currency into U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation
service.

Share valuation -- The net asset value per share of the Fund is calculated daily
by dividing the total value of the Fund's assets, less liabilities, by the
number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share
of the Fund is equal to the net asset value per share.

Investment income and distributions to shareholders -- Interest income is
accrued as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Dividends arising from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly to
shareholders of the Fund. Net realized short-term capital gains, if any, may be
distributed throughout the year and net realized long-term capital gains, if
any, are distributed at least once each year. Income distributions and capital
gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations,
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Security transactions -- Security transactions are accounted for on trade date.
Securities sold are valued on a specific identification basis.

Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                         September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)


Federal income tax -- It is the Fund's policy to comply with the special
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so qualifies
and distributes at least 90% of its taxable net income, the Fund (but not the
shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated
investment companies, it is also the Fund's intention to declare as dividends in
each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the
calendar year) and 98% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the
twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The following information is based upon the federal income tax cost of portfolio
investments of $28,060,261 as of September 30, 1997:

  Gross unrealized appreciation...............................$   7,650,859
  Gross unrealized depreciation................................  (1,051,559)
                                                               ------------
  Net unrealized appreciation..................................$  6,599,300
                                                               ============

As of March 31, 1997, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards for federal income
tax purposes of $137,352 which expire on March 31, 2005. In addition, the Fund
had net realized capital losses of $1,067,584 during the period from November 1,
1996 through March 31, 1997, which are treated for federal income tax purposes
as arising during the Fund's tax year ending March 31, 1998. These capital loss
carryforwards and "post-October" losses may be utilized in the current and
future years to offset net realized capital gains prior to distributing such
gains to shareholders.

2.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

During the six months ended September 30, 1997, purchases and proceeds from
sales and maturities of investment securities, other than short-term
investments, amounted to $9,662,669 and $8,202,500, respectively.

3.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Lowe, Brockenbrough & Tattersall, Inc. (the Adviser), under the terms of an
Investment Advisory Agreement, provides general investment supervisory services
to the Fund. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser
a fee, which is computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate
of 1.00% of its average daily net assets. Certain trustees and officers of the
Trust are also officers of the Adviser.

The Adviser retains Oechsle International Advisors, Inc. (Oechsle) to provide
the Fund with a continuous program of supervision of the Fund's assets,
including the composition of its portfolio, and to furnish advice and
recommendations with respect to investments, investment policies and the
purchase and sale of securities, pursuant to the terms of a Sub-Advisory
Agreement. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser, not the Fund, pays
Oechsle a fee in the amount of one-half of the monthly advisory fee received by
the Adviser, net of any advisory fee waivers.

                         September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)


ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
Under the terms of an Administrative Services Agreement between the Trust and
Countrywide Fund Services, Inc. (CFS), CFS provides administrative, pricing,
accounting, dividend disbursing, shareholder servicing and transfer agent
services for the Fund. For these services, CFS receives a monthly fee from the
Fund at an annual rate of .25% of its average daily net assets up to $25
million; .225% of the next $25 million of such net assets; and .20% of such net
assets in excess of $50 million, subject to a $4,000 minimum monthly fee. In
addition, the Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses including, but not limited to,
postage, supplies, and cost of pricing the Fund's portfolio securities. Certain
officers of the Trust are also officers of CFS.

4.  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Amounts denominated in or expected to settle in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates on the following basis:

      A. The market values of investment securities and other assets and 
liabilities are translated at the closing rate of exchange each day.

      B. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses 
are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of 
such transactions.

      C. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations
resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from those
resulting from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations
are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from
investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from 1) sales of
foreign currencies, 2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and
settlement dates on securities transactions, and 3) the difference between the
amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the
Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or
paid. Reported net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from
changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment
securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

5.  FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS

The Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of
managing foreign exchange rate risk. The Fund may enter into these contracts for
the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future
date as a hedge or cross-hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio
positions. The objective of the Fund's foreign currency hedging transactions is
to reduce risk that the U.S. dollar value of the Fund's securities denominated
in foreign currency will decline in value due to changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. All foreign currency exchange contracts are "marked-to-market"
daily at the applicable translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or
losses. Realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in the Fund's
Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations. Risks may arise
upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of
counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated
movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

At September 30, 1997, the Fund had forward foreign currency exchange contracts
outstanding as follows:
