                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. ORGANIZATION:

    Dimensional Investment Group Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose
shares are offered to institutional investors, retirement plans and clients of
registered investment advisors. The Fund currently consists of fifteen
portfolios, of which the Emerging Market Portfolio II (the "Portfolio") is
presented in this report.

    The Portfolio invests all of its assets in The Emerging Markets Series (the
"Series") a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust Company. At
November 30, 1999, the Portfolio owned 4% of the outstanding shares of the
Series. The financial statements of the Series are included elsewhere in this
report and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the
Portfolio.

B. 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 Fund in the preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with 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 could differ from those estimates.

    1.  SECURITY VALUATION:  The Portfolio's investment reflects its
proportionate interest in the net assets of the Series.

    2.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:  It is the Portfolio's intention to qualify as a
regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income.
Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is required in the financial
statements.

    3.  OTHER:  Security transactions are accounted for on the date the
securities are purchased or sold. Costs used in determining realized gains and
losses on the sale of investment securities are those of specific securities
sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The component of net assets may be adjusted for current period
permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax
treatments of net short-term capital gain distributions from The DFA Investment
Trust Company and/or foreign currency and foreign taxes on capital gains.
Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio or to the Series are directly
charged. Common expenses are allocated using methods determined by the Board of
Directors.

C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:

    Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. ("DFA" or the "Advisor") provides
administrative services to the Portfolio, including supervision of services
provided by others, providing information to the shareholders and to the Board
of Directors, and other administrative services. The Advisor provides investment
advisory services to the Series. For the year ended November 30, 1999, the
Portfolio's administrative fees were computed daily and paid monthly to the
Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.40 of 1% of the first
$50 million of average net assets.

    Certain officers of the Portfolio are also officers, directors and
shareholders of the Advisor.

    Effective August 1, 1997, the Advisor has agreed to waive its fees. For the
year ended November 30, 1999 the Advisor waved fees in the amount of $42,000.

    In addition, each sponsor of a benefit plan which invests in the Portfolio
has agreed to make a voluntary monthly contribution to the Portfolio in an
amount equal to that portion of the aggregate fees and expenses incurred by the

                See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

                                       6

Portfolio relating to the benefit plan's investment. Such contributions are made
in accordance with the sponsor's practice of bearing the expenses of
administering the benefit plan's investments and are recorded as additions to
capital.

D. INVESTMENTS:

    At November 30, 1999, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for
federal income tax purposes of investment securities was as follows (amounts in
thousands):

</TABLE>

    At November 30, 1999, the Portfolio had a capital loss carryover for federal
income tax purposes of approximately $2,577,000 of which $1,045,000 and
$1,532,000 expire on November 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

E. LINE OF CREDIT:

    The Fund, together with other DFA-advised portfolios, has entered into a
$50 million unsecured line of credit with its domestic custodian bank. Each
portfolio is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a
maximum of $50 million. Borrowings under the line are charged interest at the
current overnight federal funds rate plus a variable rate determined at the date
of borrowing. Each portfolio is individually, and not jointly liable for its
particular advances under the line. There is no commitment fee on the unused
portion of the line of credit. There were no borrowings under the line of credit
by the Portfolio during the year ended November 30, 1999.

                See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
DIMENSIONAL INVESTMENT GROUP INC.:

    In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and
the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the
financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Emerging Markets Portfolio II (constituting a portfolio within the
Dimensional Investment Group Inc., hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at
November 30, 1999, and the results of its operations for the year then ended,
the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended
and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at November 30, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

                        THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. ORGANIZATION:

    The DFA Investment Trust Company (the "Trust") is an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
Trust currently consists of twenty one series, of which The Emerging Markets
Series (the "Series") is presented in this report.

B. 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 Trust in the preparation of its financial
statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with 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 could differ from those estimates.

    1.  SECURITY VALUATION:  Securities held by the Series which are listed on a
securities exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price. Price information
on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily
traded. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available
are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices. Securities
for which quotations are not readily available are valued in good faith at fair
value using methods determined by the Board of Directors.

    2.  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION:  Securities and other assets and
liabilities of The Emerging Markets Series whose values are initially expressed
in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the bid price of such
currency against U.S. dollars last quoted by a major bank. Dividend and interest
income and certain expenses are translated to U.S. dollars at the rate of
exchange on their respective accrual dates. Receivables and payables denominated
in foreign currencies are marked to market daily based on daily exchange rates.
Exchange gains or losses are realized upon ultimate receipt or disbursement.

    3.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:  The Series is treated as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes. Any interest, dividends and gains or losses of the
Series will be deemed to have been "passed through" to its Feeder Funds.

    4.  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:  The Series may purchase money market instruments
subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and
price. The seller will be required on a daily basis to maintain the value of the
collateral subject to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price
(including accrued interest). The agreements are conditioned upon the collateral
being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system or with the Trust's
custodian or a third party sub-custodian. All open repurchase agreements were
entered into on November 30, 1999.

    5.  FOREIGN MARKET RISKS:  Investments in foreign markets may involve
certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in
the United States, including the possibility of future political and economic
developments and the level of foreign government supervision and regulation of
foreign securities markets. These markets are generally smaller, less liquid and
more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States.
Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be
inhibited.

    6.  OTHER:  Security transactions are accounted for on the date the
securities are purchased or sold. Costs used in determining realized gains and
losses on the sale of investment securities are those of specific securities
sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The components of net assets may be adjusted for current
period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing
book/tax treatments of foreign currency and foreign taxes on capital gains.
Interest income is recorded on the

                See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

                                       21

accrual basis. Discount and premium on securities purchased are amortized over
the lives of the respective securities. Expenses directly attributable to a
Series are directly charged. Common expenses are allocated using methods
determined by the Board of Trustees.

    The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest,
with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such
countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and
capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Funds accrue such
taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned. Some countries
require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital
or the proceeds of sales of foreign investors. In addition, if there is a
deterioration in a country's balance of payments or for other reasons, a country
may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:

    Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. ("DFA" or the "Advisor") provides investment
advisory services to the Series. For the year ended November 30, 1999, the
Series' advisory fees were computed daily and paid monthly to the Advisor based
on an effective annual rate of 0.10 of 1% of average daily net assets.

    Certain officers of the Series are also officers, directors and shareholders
of the Advisor.

D. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES:

    For the year ended November 30, 1999, the Series made the following
purchases and sales of investment securities other than U.S. Government
Securities (amounts in thousands):

</TABLE>

F. LINE OF CREDIT:

    The Trust, together with other DFA-advised portfolios, has entered into a
$50 million unsecured line of credit with its domestic custodian bank. Each
series is permitted to borrow, subject to its investment limitations, up to a
maximum of $50 million. Borrowings under the line are charged interest at the
current overnight federal funds rate plus a variable rate determined at the date
of borrowing. Each series is individually, and not jointly liable for its
particular advances under the line. There is no commitment fee on the unused
portion of the line of credit. There were no borrowings under the line of credit
by the Series during the year ended November 30, 1999.

                See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY:

    In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations
and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of The Emerging Markets Series
(constituting a portfolio within The DFA Investment Trust Company, hereafter
referred to as the "Fund") at November 30, 1999, and the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for each
of the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter
referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at November 30, 1999 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
