NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION

              The Capital  Value Fund (the  "Fund") is a  diversified  series of
              shares of beneficial  interest of The Nottingham  Investment Trust
              II (the "Trust"). The Trust, an open-ended investment company, was
              organized on October 25, 1990 as a  Massachusetts  Business  Trust
              and is  registered  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940, as
              amended.  The  investment  objective of the Fund is to provide its
              shareholders  with  a  maximum  total  return  consisting  of  any
              combination of capital appreciation, both realized and unrealized,
              and income  under the  constantly  varying  market  conditions  by
              investing  in a flexible  portfolio  of equity  securities,  fixed
              income securities,  and money market  instruments.  The Fund began
              operations on November 16, 1990.

              Pursuant to a plan approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust,
              the existing  single class of shares of the Fund was  redesignated
              as the  Investor  Class of shares of the Fund on June 15, 1995 and
              an  additional  class of shares,  the  Institutional  shares,  was
              authorized.  To date,  only Investor Class shares have been issued
              by the Fund. The Institutional Class shares will be sold without a
              sales charge and will bear no  distribution  and service fees. The
              Investor  Class shares are subject to a maximum 3.50% sales charge
              and bear  distribution and service fees which may not exceed 0.50%
              of the Investor  Class shares'  average net assets  annually.  The
              following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
              by the Fund.

              A.    Security  Valuation - The Fund's  investments  in securities
                    are  carried at value.  Securities  listed on an exchange or
                    quoted on a  national  market  system are valued at the last
                    sales  price as of 4:00  p.m.  New  York  time on the day of
                    valuation.  Other securities traded in the  over-the-counter
                    market and listed  securities for which no sale was reported
                    on that  date are  valued  at the  most  recent  bid  price.
                    Securities  for  which  market  quotations  are not  readily
                    available,  if any,  are  valued  by  using  an  independent
                    pricing service or by following  procedures  approved by the
                    Board of Trustees. Short-term investments are valued at cost
                    which approximates value.

              B.    Federal  Income  Taxes - No  provision  has  been  made  for
                    federal income taxes since  substantially all taxable income
                    has been  distributed to  shareholders.  It is the policy of
                    the Fund to  comply  with  the  provisions  of the  Internal
                    Revenue Code  applicable to regulated  investment  companies
                    and to make  sufficient  distributions  of taxable income to
                    relieve it from all federal income taxes.

                    Net investment  income and net realized gains may differ for
                    financial   statement  and  income  tax  purposes  primarily
                    because of losses  incurred  subsequent to October 31, which
                    are  deferred  for income tax  purposes.  The  character  of
                    distributions  made  during  the year  from  net  investment
                    income or net realized  gains may differ from their ultimate
                    characterization for federal income tax purposes.  Also, due
                    to the timing of dividend distributions,  the fiscal year in
                    which amounts are  distributed may differ from the year that
                    the income or realized gains were recorded by the Fund.

              C.    Investment   Transactions  -  Investment   transactions  are
                    recorded  on the trade date.  Realized  gains and losses are
                    determined  using the specific  identification  cost method.
                    Interest  income is  recorded  daily on the  accrual  basis.
                    Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.



                                                                     (Continued)

                                   (Unaudited)



              D.    Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund generally  declares
                    dividends  quarterly,  payable in March, June, September and
                    December,  on a date  selected by the Trust's  Trustees.  In
                    addition, distributions may be made annually in December out
                    of net  realized  gains  through  October  31 of that  year.
                    Distributions   to   shareholders   are   recorded   on  the
                    ex-dividend   date.   The  Fund  may  make  a   supplemental
                    distribution subsequent to the end of its fiscal year ending
                    March 31.

              E.    Use of Estimates - The  preparation of financial  statements
                    in conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles
                    requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that
                    affect  the  amount of  assets,  liabilities,  expenses  and
                    revenues  reported  in  the  financial  statements.   Actual
                    results could differ from those estimates.


NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

              Pursuant to an investment advisory  agreement,  Capital Investment
              Counsel,  Inc. (the "Advisor") provides the Fund with a continuous
              program  of  supervision  of  the  Fund's  assets,  including  the
              composition   of  its   portfolio,   and   furnishes   advice  and
              recommendations  with respect to investments,  investment policies
              and the purchase and sale of securities.  As compensation  for its
              services,  the Advisor  receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.60%
              of the first $250  million of the average  daily net assets of the
              Fund and 0.50% of average daily net assets over $250 million.

              The   Fund's   administrator,    The   Nottingham   Company   (the
              "Administrator"),  provides  administrative  services  to  and  is
              generally  responsible  for the overall  management and day-to-day
              operations  of  the  Fund  pursuant  to  a  fund   accounting  and
              compliance  agreement  with the  Trust.  As  compensation  for its
              services,  the Administrator  receives a fee at the annual rate of
              0.175%  of the  Fund's  first $50  million  of  average  daily net
              assets, 0.15% of the next $50 million of average daily net assets,
              0.125% of the next $50 million of average  daily net  assets,  and
              0.10%  of  average  daily  net  assets  over  $150  million.   The
              Administrator also receives a monthly fee of $2,000 for accounting
              and  recordkeeping  services.  The contract with the Administrator
              provides   that  the   aggregate   fees  for  the   aforementioned
              administration, accounting and recordkeeping services shall not be
              less than $4,000 per month.  The  Administrator  also  charges the
              Fund for certain  expenses  involved  with the daily  valuation of
              portfolio securities.

              NC Shareholder Services,  LLC (the "Transfer Agent") serves as the
              Funds' transfer, dividend paying, and shareholder servicing agent.
              The Transfer  Agent  maintains  the records of each  shareholder's
              account,   answers  shareholder   inquiries  concerning  accounts,
              processes  purchases and  redemptions of the Fund shares,  acts as
              dividend and  distribution  disbursing  agent,  and performs other
              shareholder servicing functions.

              Capital Investment Group, Inc. (the  "Distributor"),  an affiliate
              of the Advisor,  serves as the Fund's  principal  underwriter  and
              distributor. The Distributor receives any sales charges imposed on
              purchases of shares and  re-allocates a portion of such charges to
              dealers  through  whom the sale was made,  if any.  For the period
              ended September 30, 2000, the  Distributor  retained sales charges
              in the amount of $3,327.

              Certain  Trustees and  officers of the Trust are also  officers of
              the Advisor, the Distributor or the Administrator.



                                                                     (Continued)

NOTE 3 - DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

              The Board of  Trustees,  including a majority of the  Trustees who
              are not  "interested  persons"  of the  Trust  as  defined  in the
              Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended,  adopted a
              distribution  plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Act (the "Plan").
              The Act  regulates  the  manner  in which a  regulated  investment
              company may assume  expenses of  distributing  and  promoting  the
              sales of its shares and servicing of its shareholder accounts.

              The Plan provides that the Fund may incur certain expenses,  which
              may not  exceed  0.50% per  annum of the  Investor  Class  shares'
              average  daily net  assets  for each year  elapsed  subsequent  to
              adoption of the Plan,  for payment to the  Distributor  and others
              for  items  such  as  advertising   expenses,   selling  expenses,
              commissions,  travel  or other  expenses  reasonably  intended  to
              result  in  sales  of  Investor  shares  of the  Fund  or  support
              servicing  of  shareholder  accounts.   Expenditures  incurred  as
              service fees may not exceed 0.25% per annum of the Investor  Class
              shares'  average daily net assets.  The Fund  incurred  $38,130 of
              such  expenses  under the Plan for the period ended  September 30,
              2000.


NOTE 4 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS

              Purchases  and  sales  of   investments,   other  than  short-term
              investments,  aggregated $2,669,890 and $5,848,004,  respectively,
              for the period ended September 30, 2000.
