FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS

The Federal Reserve continued to raise interest rates during the six months
ended June 30, 2000, in an effort to slow a fast-paced economy. After nearly a
year of ignoring the effects of rate hikes, investors finally reacted, selling
off more-speculative technology investments and rotating through the stocks of
companies that appeared to have more solid short-term prospects. The activity
heightened volatility, spurring large single-day gains and losses among stocks
and indices. By the end of the period, the funds' benchmarks had all posted weak
results.


MARKET ENVIRONMENT

The past six months were a roller-coaster ride in the equity markets. The year
started with renewed concerns about the economy overheating, as first-quarter
GDP growth steamed ahead at a 5.4% rate. The Fed indicated that it viewed this
growth as unsustainable and inflationary, and indeed, signs of inflation became
evident in labor costs and basic goods. The central bank responded by raising
the federal funds target rate three times in the first half of 2000 by a total
of 100 basis points (which is equivalent to a full percent), the most recent
move being a 50-basis-point hike on May 16. Since beginning its tightening
program in early 1999, the Fed has raised short-term rates by 175 basis points,
to 6.5%.

With rates rising and signs of inflation still surfacing, investors became
troubled that even more rate hikes might be in store and seemed increasingly
uncomfortable with the high valuations on speculative companies.
Technology-related firms that offered more promise than profits--generally the
market's biggest winners in 1999--sold off sharply in March, April, and May of
2000. The software segment of the tech universe was particularly deflated by
Microsoft's antitrust battles with the Justice Department.

Because so much investor attention has lately been focused on technology-related
industries, the market as a whole weakened in sync with the dramatic tech
sell-off. For example, many banks and other financials sagged as rates rose, and
major retailers struggled as

investors feared that higher rates would dampen consumer spending. However, the
market's decline didn't last. In the wake of the 50-basis-point hike in May and
tamer economic reports in June, investors grew more confident that the Fed was
nearing the end of its tightening program, and pushed stock prices up again in a
variety of industries.

This time, however, investors were more selective. When tech stocks rebounded
strongly in June, for example, the winners tended to be stable companies with
strong earnings and cash flow, while firms with less attractive prospects
bottomed out. The trend was noticeable in the telecommunications field, as
equipment makers surged on tremendous demand for their products, but service
providers, such as the baby bells, slid as their earnings came under pressure.
Likewise in other areas of the market, investors preferred more moderately
priced stocks with reliable, if not spectacular, earnings growth projections.
For this reason, pharmaceuticals and selected consumer issues did well. The
excitement surrounding the Human Genome Project also increased interest in the
biotechnology sector. Financial services rebounded as the rate environment
stabilized.

While value stocks in general underperformed growth stocks, some lower-priced
issues with positive prospects benefited from renewed investor focus on
valuation. The stock prices of companies in the energy sector, for example,
rallied on high oil prices. Moderately priced insurance stocks also advanced as
a whole.

Major market trends largely canceled one another out, leading to mostly flat
returns. A larger concern for us was the extreme day-to-day

volatility within the markets. We have noted in past reports that the number of
days in which the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index moves up or down 1% or more
has risen dramatically in recent years. In 1995, only 5% of the trading days
resulted in such a large move; by 1998, that proportion was above 30%, and in
the first half of 2000, it was 42%. It is important to maintain a long-term
perspective when going through times of such extensive daily price fluctuations.



EQUITY INDEX 500 FUND

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, your fund posted a return of -0.54%.
Reflecting a strong rally in 1999, its 12-month return was 6.97%. These outcomes
closely tracked those of the S&P 500, trailing slightly because of the fund's
annual operating and management expenses, which the index does not incur.

At 33% of assets (up from 30% in December), technology stocks continued to
dominate the performance of the index and your fund. Technology's spectacular
nosedive in the spring, and its equally stunning late-period rally, certainly
added drama to the period, but ultimately the sector's results were mostly flat.
Internet stocks gave back much of their 1999 gains. Yahoo! and America Online
led the decline with losses of 42.75% and 30.16%, respectively. However, a
select group of the larger, more financially

<PAGE>

sound tech stocks bucked the trend, with semiconductors leading the sector.
Among the top-performing semiconductor holdings were Intel (up 62.55%), Micron
Technology (126.53%), and Advanced Micro Devices (166.95%). Software companies
suffered persistent losses, spurred by the antitrust penalties being proposed
for Microsoft. Not surprisingly, Microsoft was the largest detractor from fund
performance during the period.

Health care stocks performed best of all sectors and added much to performance.
Pharmaceuticals were especially strong, as investors were drawn to their steady
earnings growth and reliable cash flow. Three of the best-performing stocks in
the category were Pfizer, Warner-Lambert (which was ultimately acquired by
Pfizer), and Eli Lilly. These gains were offset by weakness in other sectors.
Telephone utilities were especially weak as they struggled with severe
competitive and pricing pressures. For example, AT&T was off 36.82%.

Merger activity and market volatility once again produced a significant number
of changes in the S&P 500 during the first half. In the health care field,
Warner-Lambert exited when it was purchased by Pfizer; Pharmacia & Upjohn and
Monsanto both left the index as their merger created a new firm called
Pharmacia. Among energy stocks, Atlantic Richfield was deleted after it was
bought by BP Amoco. A number of cyclical companies, such as Fleetwood
Enterprises and Foster Wheeler, found themselves edged out of the portfolio
after years of underperforming higher-growth stocks.

Despite the overall weakness of technology companies in 2000, a large number
found their way into the index: 15 of the 25 new stocks in the index were tech
companies. Semiconductor stocks are especially well represented now with the
addition of Broadcom, Maxim, Conexant Systems, Linear Technology, and others.
Several software stocks joined the benchmark as well, such as Siebel Systems and
Veritas Software. Two additions from the rapidly growing biotechnology sector
were Biogen and MedImmune.


TOTAL EQUITY MARKET INDEX FUND

For the six and 12 months ended June 30, your fund posted returns of -0.68% and
9.45%, respectively. The fund tracked the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index
fairly closely.

What's true of the performance for the Equity Index 500 Fund is also true for
this fund, since most of the companies in the S&P are in the Wilshire 5000, and
the large companies in both indexes tend to drive performance. Like the S&P 500,
the Wilshire 5000's results were largely mixed. This index's technology holdings
fared a bit worse, because the Wilshire 5000 contains several more-speculative
technology companies that were especially harmed during the spring decline.
Amazon.com, for example, suffered a 52.32% loss on mounting reports that retail
Internet businesses were finding it difficult to turn a profit. CMGI, a venture
capital firm that specializes in technology start-ups, sank by 66.9%.

Not all tech stocks proved problematic, though. As mentioned in the Equity Index
500 report, semiconductor stocks performed especially well, and certain
promising equipment stocks like Internet infrastructure company Juniper Networks
turned in fine performances. This index also benefited more than the S&P from a
modest rally in the broader small-cap market. Leading small-cap performers were
the semiconductor stocks IXYS, Hytek Microsystems, and Elantec Semiconductors.

Assets have grown about 15% during the past six months, the result of new
investments. Higher asset levels make it easier for us to track our index via
our sampling techniques. The portfolio now contains approximately 1,800
securities, compared with about 1,500 six months ago.


EXTENDED EQUITY MARKET INDEX FUND

Your fund posted a return of 0.14% in the first half of 2000, in keeping with
the Wilshire 4500 Index less expenses. The 12-month return of 20.37%, while
quite strong, trailed the Wilshire 4500 by a bit more than expenses due to some
tracking error experienced by the fund in late 1999.

Because of the large number of companies in the Wilshire 4500, the fund uses
sampling strategies to match the index, rather than buying every one of its
6,000+ component stocks. When sampling, we build a portfolio that maintains
essentially the same characteristics as the index, including its sector
breakdown, price-to-earnings ratio, and several other factors. During the last
two months of 1999 and first two months of 2000, technology stocks performed
very well, particularly those of young, newly public companies. While we held
many of these types of stocks at year-end, we were a bit underweighted in them
versus older technology companies. This created some underperformance toward the
end of 1999 and very early in 2000. In January, we made an effort to make sure
the fund was exposed to the new stocks to the same extent as the index and, as a
result, tracking error has been reduced for most of 2000.

During the first half of the year, assets rose steadily, and as of June 30 they
were roughly 80% greater than at year-end. Most of the growth was from new
purchases rather than performance. We used the new money to increase the number
of holdings in the portfolio from about 1,900 to roughly 2,700 during the
period. This change helped to minimize tracking error and should allow us to
better track our benchmark in the future.

6
<PAGE>

Trends in our benchmark underscore how dramatically the technology sector has
broadened in recent years, with hundreds of new companies operating in
industries not even imagined decades ago. Despite slightly negative performance
in the first half, the sector remains by far the largest in the Wilshire 4500.
In addition, most of the companies going public even in the tougher initial
public offering market of 2000 were technology companies.

While technology stocks as a group were lackluster, similar to the large-cap
tech stocks discussed in the Equity Index 500 section, performance within the
sector varied. Semiconductor and communications equipment issues did very well,
while Internet and information services stocks did poorly. The market tended to
favor companies that were already making money or at least seemed likely to, and
stocks that had been market darlings despite lacking profits were abandoned. As
noted in the Total Market Index Fund section above, companies like Amazon.com
fell out of favor.

Among other sectors, health care, utility, and energy stocks did well during the
first half of 2000 as well. While many health care stocks advanced,
biotechnology stood out as the prospects for companies involved in genetics
research improved. Among utility stock winners were those with new business
models as deregulation unfolds and those with exciting new technologies for
energy generation. For example, Calpine, a fast-growing independent power
producer, was up a stunning 105.47%, and Dynegy, a leading marketer of energy
products and services, rose 98.91%. Energy stocks advanced as energy prices went
up. Telecommunications stocks and consumer stocks fared poorly.


OUTLOOK

After several years of strong gains among large-cap stocks, we were not
surprised to see the S&P 500 take a breather. In fact, we found it very
encouraging that the rampant speculation that characterized 1999's market cooled
somewhat in the first half. We were also encouraged to see investors turn some
attention to attractive smaller companies that had been forgotten in the rush to
large-caps and Internet start-ups.

While the Fed appears to have been successful in controlling inflation, further
rate hikes are a possibility this year, and continuing economic uncertainty,
along with high prices in some sectors, could exacerbate

market volatility. Yet corporate earnings remain strong throughout the markets
and further gains are possible. We recommend that investors maintain a long-term
perspective.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISON

These charts show the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each fund
over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking
10-year records). The result is compared with benchmarks, which may include a
broad-based market index and a peer group average or index. Market indexes do
not include expenses, which are deducted from fund returns as well as mutual
fund averages and indexes.
