NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                    THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND
April 30, 1998                                                       (Unaudited)

1.   ORGANIZATION:
THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND (the "Trust") is organized as a Massachusetts
business trust under an Amended and Restated Agreement and a Declaration of
Trust dated February 18, 1997. The Trust is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment
company with seven portfolios. The financial statements herein are those of the
MDL Broad Market Fixed Income Fund and the MDLLarge Cap Growth Fund (the
"Funds"). The financial statements of the remaining portfolios are presented
separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated, and a Shareholder's
interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. The Fund's
prospectus provides a description of the Fund's investment objectives, policies
and strategies.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds.

     SECURITY VALUATION -- Investments in equity securities which are listed on
     a securities exchange for which market quotations are available are valued
     at the last quoted sales price for such securities on each business day,
     or, if there is no such reported sales price on the valuation date, at the
     most recently quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding sixty days to
     maturity for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
     the most recently quoted bid price. Debt obligations with sixty days or
     less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost. Under
     this valuation method, purchase discounts and premiums are accreted and
     amortized ratably to maturity and are included in interest income.
     Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at
     fair value using methods determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- It is each Portfolio's intention to qualify as a
     regulated investment company by complying with the appropriate provisions
     of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provision
     for Federal income taxes is required.

     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME -- Security transactions are
     accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date).
     Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Costs used in
     determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities
     are those of the specific securities sold during the respective holding
     period. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities held by the Funds are
     accreted and amortized to maturity using the scientific interest method,
     which approximates the effective interest method.

     NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE -- The net asset value per share of each
     Portfolio is calculated on each business day by dividing the total value of
     assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
     agreements are held by the custodian bank until the respective agreements
     mature. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and provisions adopted by
     the Adviser ensure that the market value of the collateral, including
     accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default by the
     counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral
     declines or if the counterparty enters into an insolvency proceeding,
     realization of the collateral by the Portfolios may be delayed or limited.

     EXPENSES -- Expenses that are directly related to one of the Portfolios are
     charged to the Portfolio. Other operating expenses of the Trust are
     prorated to the Portfolios on the basis of relative daily net assets.

     DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions from net investment income
     are declared monthly for the MDL Broad Market Fixed Income Fund and are
     paid monthly. The MDL Large Cap Growth Fund declares dividends from net
     investment income quarterly and are paid quarterly. Any net realized
     capital gains are distributed to shareholders at least annually.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                    THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND
April 30, 1998                                                       (Unaudited)

     Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are
     determined in accordance with the U.S. Federal income tax regulations,
     which may differ from those amounts determined under generally accepted
     accounting principles. These book/tax differences are either temporary or
     permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they
     are charged or credited to paid-in-capital in the period that the
     differences arise. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or
     net asset value.

     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 reported amount of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
     of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
     expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
     those estimates.

3.   ORGANIZATION COSTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
Organizational costs have been capitalized and are being amortized on a straight
line basis over a period of sixty months commencing with operations. In the
event any of the initial shares of the Trust are redeemed by any holder thereof
during the period that the Trust is amortizing its organizational costs, the
redemption proceeds payable to the holder thereof by the Portfolio will be
reduced by the unamortized organizational costs in the same ratio as the number
of initial shares being redeemed bears to the number of initial shares
outstanding at the time of redemption.

Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of SEI Fund Resources (the
"Administrator") and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the "Distributor").
Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers of the
Trust.

4.   ADMINISTRATION, SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS:
The Trust and the Administrator are parties to an Administration Agreement dated
November 14, 1991, as amended and restated on May 17, 1994, under which the
Administrator provides management and administrative services for an annual fee
equal to the higher of $80,000, or of .15% on the first $50 million of average
daily net assets; .125% on the next $50 million of average net assets; and .10%
on average net assets over $100 million of the Fund's average daily net assets,
which would increase by $15,000 per additional class.

DST Systems Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as the transfer agent and 
dividend disbursing agent for the Funds under a transfer agency agreement with 
the Trust.

The Trust and Distributor are parties to a Distribution Agreement dated November
14, 1991 as amended and restated on August 8, 1994. The Distributor receives no
fees for its distribution services under this agreement.

5.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND CUSTODIAN AGREEMENTS:
The Funds and MDL Capital Management, Inc. (the "Adviser") are parties to an
Investment Advisory Agreement dated October 31, 1997 under which the Adviser
receives an annual fee equal to .45% and .74% of the Fund's average daily net
assets of the MDL Broad Market Fixed Income and MDL Large Cap Growth Funds,
respectively. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of
its fees and to reimburse expenses in order to limit operating expenses for the
MDL Broad Market Fixed Income and MDL Large Cap Growth Funds to an annual rate
of not more than .90% and 1.26% of the average daily net assets, respectively.
Fee waivers and expense reimbursements are voluntary and may be terminated at
any time.

CoreStates Bank, N.A. acts as custodian (the "Custodian") for the Funds. The
Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Funds or
which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Funds.
