                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)

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 offers fifteen portfolios, of
which U.S. Large Cap Value Portfolio III (the "Portfolio") is presented in this
report.

    The Portfolio invests all of its assets in The U.S. Large Cap Value
Series (the "Series"), a corresponding series of The DFA Investment Trust
Company. At May 31, 2000, the Portfolio owned 18% 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 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 shares of the Series held by the Portfolio are
valued at its respective daily net asset value.

    2.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Portfolio's intention to continue 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 components 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. 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 six months ended May 31, 2000, the
Portfolio's administrative fees were accrued daily and paid monthly to the
Advisor based on an effective annual rate of 0.01 of 1% of average daily net
assets.

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

</TABLE>

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
during the six months ended May 31, 2000.

                        THE DFA INVESTMENT TRUST COMPANY
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

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 offers twenty-one series, of which The U.S. Large Cap Value
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 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 and for which market quotations are readily available are
valued at the last quoted sale price of the day, or if there is no such reported
sale, at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices. 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 Trustees.

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

    3.  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:  The Series may purchase money market instruments
subject to the counterparty's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon
date and price. The counterparty 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
with The Trust's custodian or a third party sub-custodian. In the event of
default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the
collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. All open repurchase agreements
were entered into on May 31, 2000.

    4.  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. Interest income is recorded on the 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.

C. INVESTMENT ADVISOR:

    Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. ("DFA" or the "Advisor") provides investment
advisory services to the Series. For the six months ended May 31, 2000, the
Series' advisory fees were accrued 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.

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. Borrowings under the line of credit by the Series
for the six months ended May 31, 2000 were as follows:

</TABLE>

    There were no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit at May 31,
2000.

G. SECURITIES LENDING:

    Loans of domestic securities are required at all times to be secured by
collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of the securities on loan.
However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the
agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to
legal proceedings. In the event that the borrower fails to return loaned
securities, and cash collateral being maintained by the borrower is insufficient
to cover the value of loaned securities and provided such collateral
insufficiency is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has
agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to the Series or, at the option of the
lending agent, replace the loaned securities. Such cash collateral for May 31,
2000 was reinvested into overnight repurchase agreements with Salomon Brothers,
which was in turn collateralized by U.S. Government Treasury Securities. At
May 31, 2000, the market value of securities on loan to brokers was $16,795,541,
the related collateral cash received was $18,001,575 and the value of collateral
on overnight repurchase agreements was $18,466,374.
