and Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1995 (Unaudited)


Note A -- Organization and Accounting Policies


      GBG  Funds,  Inc.  (the  Company)  is a  diversified  open-end  management
investment  company  registered  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as
amended (1940 Act). The Company,  which was  incorporated in Maryland on October
29, 1990, was formerly known as Baillie Gifford  International Fund, Inc. Shares
of the Company are offered in two series:  Baillie  Gifford  International  Fund
(BGIF)  and  Baillie  Gifford  Emerging  Markets  Fund  (BGEMF).  The series are
collectively  referred  to herein as the  "Funds."  Shares of the Funds are only
sold to certain separate accounts of The Guardian Insurance and Annuity Company,
Inc.  (GIAC).  GIAC is a wholly owned  subsidiary of The Guardian Life Insurance
Company of America.  The Funds are  available  for  investment  only through the
allocation of contract values under certain  variable  annuity and variable life
insurance  contracts issued by GIAC. Upon commencing its operations on September
13, 1994,  BGEMF sold 2,000,000 shares of its capital stock to The Guardian Life
Insurance  Company of America for $20,000,000 to facilitate the  commencement of
operations.

Valuation of Investments

     Investments are carried at value.  Securities  listed on foreign  exchanges
and for which market  quotations are readily available are valued at the closing
price on the  exchange  on which the  securities  are traded at the close of the
appropriate exchange or, if there have been no sales during the day, at the mean
of the closing bid and asked prices.  Securities traded in the  over-the-counter
market  are  valued at the mean  between  the bid and asked  prices.  Securities
listed or traded on any domestic  (U.S.)  exchanges  are valued at the last sale
price or, if there have been no sales during the day, at the mean of the closing
bid and asked prices.  Securities  for which market  quotations  are not readily
available,  including  restricted  securities and illiquid assets, are valued at
fair  value  as  determined  in good  faith  by or under  the  direction  of the
Company's Board of Directors.  Investing outside of the U.S. may involve certain
considerations  and risks not typically  associated  with  domestic  investments
including: the possibility of political and economic unrest and different levels
of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

     Repurchase  agreements are carried at cost which approximates  market value
(See note E).

Foreign Currency Translation

     The  books and  records  of the Funds are  maintained  in U.S.  dollars  as
follows:

(1)  The foreign currency market value of investment securities and other assets
and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at
the current rate of exchange.

(2)  Purchases, sales,   income   and  expenses  are  translated  at the rate of
exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

     The resulting gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations.
It is not the  practice of the Funds to identify  that portion of the results of
operations  that  arise  as a result  of  changes  in the  exchange  rates  from
fluctuations that arise from changes in the market price during or at the end of
a reporting period except as noted below.

     Realized  foreign  exchange gains and losses,  which result from changes in
foreign  exchange  rates between the date on which the Funds earn  dividends and
interest  or pay foreign  withholding  taxes or other  expenses  and the date on
which U.S. dollar equivalent amounts are actually received or paid, are included

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>

                                                                  GBG Funds -- 7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


in net realized gain on foreign currency related transactions.  Realized foreign
exchange  gains and losses which result from changes in foreign  exchange  rates
between the trade and settlement dates on security and currency transactions are
also included in net realized loss on foreign currency related transactions. Net
currency  gains  and  losses  from  valuing  investments  and other  assets  and
liabilities  denominated in foreign currency at the period end exchange rate are
reflected in net change in unrealized  appreciation  or  depreciation on foreign
currency related transactions.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

     The Funds may enter into forward foreign  currency  contracts in connection
with planned  purchases or sales of securities,  or to hedge against  changes in
currency  exchange  rates  affecting the values of securities  denominated  in a
particular  currency.  A forward exchange  currency  contract is a commitment to
purchase or sell a foreign  currency at a future  date at a  negotiated  forward
rate.  Fluctuations in the value of forward foreign currency exchange  contracts
are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency
related  transactions by the Funds. When forward contracts are closed, the Funds
record realized gains or losses equal to the  differences  between the values of
such  forward  contracts  at the time each was  opened and the value at the time
each was closed.  Such  amounts are  recorded  in net  realized  gain or loss on
foreign  currency related  transactions.  Neither Fund will enter into a forward
foreign currency contract if such contract would obligate the Fund to deliver an
amount of  foreign  currency  in excess  of the  value of the  Fund's  portfolio
securities or other assets denominated in that currency.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income

     Securities  transactions are recorded on the trade date. Net realized gains
or losses on sales of  investments  are  determined  on the basis of  identified
cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is
recorded on an accrual basis.

Taxes

     Each  Fund  intends  to  qualify  to be  taxed as a  "regulated  investment
company"  under the  provisions  of the U.S.  Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (Code),  and as such will not be subject to federal income tax on income
(including any realized  capital gains) which is distributed in accordance  with
the provisions of the Code to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax
provision is required.  Security  transactions  after  October 31 are treated as
arising on the first day of the Funds' next fiscal year.

     Investment  income received from  investments in foreign  currencies may be
subject to foreign withholding tax. Whenever possible,  the Fund will attempt to
operate  so as to  qualify  for  reduced  tax rates or tax  exemptions  in those
countries with which the United States has a tax treaty.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

     The Funds intend to distribute each year, as dividends,  substantially  all
net  investment  income and net capital gains  realized.  All such  dividends or
distributions  are credited in the form of additional shares of the Funds at net
asset value on the  ex-dividend  date.  Such  distributions  are  determined  in
conformity  with  federal  income  tax  regulations.   Differences  between  the
recognition of income on an income tax basis and  recognition of income based on
generally accepted accounting  principles may cause temporary  overdistributions
of net realized gains and net investment income. Currently, the Funds' policy is

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

to  distribute  net  investment  income  approximately  every six months and net
capital  gains once a year.  This policy is,  however,  subject to change at any
time by the Company's Board of Directors.

Reclassifications of Capital Accounts

     In accordance with recently approved accounting  pronouncements,  the Funds
have recorded reclassifications in the capital accounts. These reclassifications
have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and are designed generally to
present  undistributed  income  and gains or  accumulated  losses on a tax basis
which is considered to be more informative to the  shareholder.  During the year
ended December 31, 1994, BGIF and BGEMF  reclassified  ($322,462) and ($13,799),
respectively, to paid-in capital from accumulated net realized gains/(losses) to
reflect permanent  differences  between income  recognition on a tax basis and a
GAAP basis. In addition,  amounts  distributed for tax purposes in excess of net
investment   income  in  1993  for  BGIF  have  been  recorded  as  a  temporary
overdistribution  of net  investment  income in the  Statement of Changes in Net
Assets.  These  amounts  reflect  the  effect of  temporary  differences  in the
computation of net investment income for financial reporting and tax purposes.


Note B -- Investment Management Agreements
          and Payments to Related Parties

     The Company has  investment  management  agreements  with Guardian  Baillie
Gifford  Ltd.  (GBG),  a Scottish  corporation  formed  through a joint  venture
between GIAC and Baillie Gifford Overseas Ltd. (BG Overseas). GBG is responsible
for the overall  investment  management of the Funds' portfolios  subject to the
supervision  of  the  Company's  Board  of  Directors.   GBG  has  entered  into
sub-investment  management  agreements  with BG  Overseas  pursuant  to which BG
Overseas is responsible for the day-to-day  management of the Funds' portfolios.
GBG continually monitors and evaluates the performance of BG Overseas.

     As compensation for its services, GBG receives a management fee computed at
the rate of .80% of BGIF's daily  average net assets and 1.00% of BGEMF's  daily
average  net  assets.  One-half  of these fees (.40%  relating  to BGIF and .50%
relating to BGEMF) are payable by GBG to BG Overseas for its  services.  Payment
of the sub- management fees does not represent a separate or additional  expense
to the Funds.

   Forward foreign currency contracts represent  commitments to purchase or sell
a specified  amount of foreign  currency at a future date and at a future price.
Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms
of a  contract  and from  unanticipated  movements  in the  value  of a  foreign
currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

   At June 30, 1995, BGIF had open forward foreign currency contracts, as listed
below, with net unrealized gain of $138,789 which are included in net unrealized
appreciation/(depreciation).

Note E -- Repurchase Agreements

     Collateral  underlying  repurchase agreements takes the form of either cash
or fully negotiable U.S. government securities.  Repurchase agreements are fully
collateralized  (including the interest  earned  thereon) and such collateral is
marked-to-market daily while the agreements remain in force. If the value of the
underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued
interest,  the Funds will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by
the next business day. If the request for  additional  collateral is not met, or
the seller defaults, the Funds maintain the right to sell the collateral and may
claim any resulting  loss against the seller.  The Company's  Board of Directors
has established standards to evaluate the creditworthiness of broker-dealers and
banks  which  engage  in  repurchase  agreements  with  the  Funds.   Repurchase
agreements  of more than  seven  days'  duration  (or  investments  in any other
securities  which are deemed to be not  readily  marketable  by the staff of the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission)  are not permitted if more than 10% of the
applicable Fund's net assets would be so invested.

calculated on a 360-day basis per annum. For the six months ended June 30, 1995,
neither of the Funds borrowed against this line of credit.
