NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                        (Unaudited)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. Organization

The Arbor Fund (the "Trust") was organized as a Massachusetts business trust
under a Declaration of Trust dated July 24, 1992 and had no operations through
February 1, 1993, other than those related to organizational matters and the
sale of initial shares to SEI Fund Resources (the "Administrator"), on October
9, 1992. SEI Financial Management Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI
Investments Company, is the owner of all beneficial interest in the
Administrator. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, as an open-end management company. The financial statements included
herein relate to the Trust's OVB Equity Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). The
portfolios' prospectus provides a description of the portfolio's investment
objectives, policies and strategies. The financial statements of the other
portfolios in the OVB Family of Funds 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 Portfolio is registered to offer two
classes of shares: Class A and Class B (see note 3).

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Portfolio.

Security Valuation --

Investments in equity securities that are traded on a national securities
exchange (or reported on NASDAQ national market system) are stated at the last
quoted sales price, if readily available for such equity securities on each
business day; other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and
listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated
at the last 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 until
maturity are valued at their amortized cost.

Federal Income Taxes --

It is the Portfolio's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no
provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

                                                    January 31, 1997 (Unaudited)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Security Transactions and Related Income --

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or
sold (trade date). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and
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. 

Repurchase Agreements --

The Portfolio invests in tri-party repurchase agreements. Securities held as
collateral for tri-party repurchase agreements are maintained in a segregated
account by the broker's custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase
agreement. Provisions of the repurchase agreements require that the market value
of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the
event of default of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value
of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency
proceeding, realization and/or retention of the collateral by the Portfolio may
be delayed or limited.

Net Asset Value Per Share --

The net asset value per share of the Portfolio is calculated each business day.
In general, it is computed by dividing the assets of the Portfolio, less its
liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of the Portfolio.

Classes --

Class specific expenses are borne by that class. Income, expenses, and realized
and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the respective classes of shares on
the basis of their relative daily net assets.

Expenses --

Expenses that are directly related to one of the portfolios are charged directly
to that portfolio. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to the
portfolios on the basis of relative net assets.

Distributions --

Distributions from net investment income for the Portfolio are paid to
shareholders in the form of quarterly dividends. Any net realized capital gains
on sales of securities are distributed to shareholders at least annually.

        The amounts of distributions from net investment income and net realized
capital gains are determined in accordance with 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 difference arises.

3. Investment Advisory, Administrative, Transfer Agent, and Distribution
   Agreements:

One Valley Bank, National Association (the "Adviser") serves as investment
adviser to the Portfolio pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the
"Advisory Agreement") with the Trust. For its services, the Adviser is entitled
to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate based on
the average daily net assets of the Portfolio of .74%. The Adviser has agreed to
voluntarily waive a portion of its fee so that the total annual expenses of the
portfolio will not exceed the voluntary expense limitations adopted by the
Adviser. In the event that the total annual expenses of the portfolio, after
reflecting a waiver of all fees by the Adviser, exceed the specific limitations,
the Adviser has agreed to bear such excess. Fee waivers by the Adviser are
voluntary and may be terminated at any time.

The Trust and the Administrator have

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


entered into an administration agreement. Under terms of the administration
agreement, the Administrator is entitled to a fee calculated daily and paid
monthly at an annual rate of .20% of the average daily net assets of the
portfolio. There is a minimum annual fee of $100,000 payable to the
Administrator by the Portfolio. The Administrator also serves as the shareholder
servicing agent for the Trust. Compensation for this service is paid under the
administration agreement.

         DST Systems, Inc. serves as the transfer agent and dividend disbursing
agent for the Portfolio under a transfer agency agreement with the Trust.

         The Trust and SEI Financial Services Company (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company, have entered into a
distribution agreement. The Class B shares of the Portfolio have a distribution
plan (the "Class B Plan"), pursuant to Rule 12b1 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. As provided in the Distribution Agreement and the Class
B Plan, the Trust will pay a fee, at an annual rate of .25% of the Portfolio's
average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares to the Distributor as
compensation for its services.

4. Organizational Costs and Transactions with Affiliates:

Organizational costs have been capitalized by the Trust and are being amortized
over sixty months beginning with the commencement of operations. In the event
any of the initial shares are redeemed by any holder thereof during the period
that the fund is amortizing its organizational costs, the redemption proceeds
payable to the holder thereof by the Trust 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 the
redemption. These costs include legal fees of approximately $23,000 for
organizational work performed by a law firm of which two officers of the Trust
and a Trustee of the Trust are partners.

         Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of the Administrator
and/or Distributor. Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving in
their respective roles.

At January 31, 1997, the total cost of securities and the net realized gains or
losses on securities sold for Federal income tax purposes were not materially
different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes. The aggregate
gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investment securities at
January 31, 1997, for the Portfolio is as follows:

Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and, therefore, is unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by trustees, directors, officers or
controlling persons of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense
of any act, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustees, directors,
officers or controlling persons in connection with the shares being registered,
the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issues.

                          INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

         AGREEMENT made this 22nd day of November, 1993 by and between The Arbor
Fund, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"), and One Valley Bank, N.A.
(the "Adviser").

         WHEREAS, the Trust is an open-end, non-diversified management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, (the "Investment Company Act") consisting of several series of shares,
each having its own investment policies; and

         WHEREAS, the Trust has retained SEI Financial Management Corporation
(the "Administrator") to provide administration of the Trust's operations,
subject to the control of the Board of Trustees;

         WHEREAS, the Trust desires to retain the Adviser to render investment
management services with respect to its OVB Emerging Growth, OVB Capital
Appreciation, OVB West Virginia Tax-Exempt Income, OVB Government Securities and
OVB Prime Obligations Portfolios and such other portfolios as the Trust and the
Adviser may agree upon (the "Portfolios"), and the Adviser is willing to render
such services:

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of mutual covenants herein contained,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. Duties of the Adviser. The Trust employs the Adviser to manage the
            investment and reinvestment of the assets, and to continuously
            review, supervise, and administer the investment program of the
            Portfolios, to determine in its discretion the securities to be
            purchased or sold, to provide the Administrator and the Trust with
            records concerning the Adviser's activities which the Trust is
            required to maintain and to render regular reports (except for those
            special reports that the Board of Trustees may require more
            frequently) to the Administrator and to the Trust's Officers and
            Trustees concerning the Adviser's discharge of the foregoing
            responsibilities.

            The Adviser shall discharge the foregoing responsibilities subject
            to the control of the Board of Trustees of the Trust and in
            compliance with such policies as the Trustees may from time to time
            establish, and in compliance with the objectives, policies, and
            limitations for each such Portfolio set forth in the Portfolios'
            prospectus and statement of additional information as amended from
            time to time, and applicable laws and regulations.

            The Adviser accepts such employment and agrees, at its own expense,
            to render the services and to provide the office space, furnishings
            and equipment and the personnel required by it to perform the
            services on the terms and for the compensation provided herein.

         2. Portfolio Transactions. The Adviser is authorized to select the
            brokers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales of
            portfolio securities for the Portfolios and is directed to use its
            best efforts to obtain the best net results as described in the
            Portfolios' prospectuses and statement of additional information
            from time to time. The Adviser will promptly communicate to the
            Administrator and to the officers and the Trustees of the Trust such
            information relating to portfolio transactions as they may
            reasonably request.

            It is understood that the Adviser will not be deemed to have acted
            unlawfully, or to have breached a fiduciary duty to the Trust or be
            in breach of any obligation owing to the Trust under this Agreement,
            or otherwise, solely by reason of its having directed a securities
            transaction on behalf of the Trust to a broker-dealer in compliance
            with the provisions of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act
            of 1934.

         3. Compensation of the Adviser. For the services to be rendered by the
            Adviser as provided in Sections 1 and 2 of this Agreement, the Trust
            shall pay to the Adviser compensation at the rate specified in the
            Schedule(s) which are attached hereto and made a part of this
            Agreement. Such compensation shall be paid to the Adviser at the end
            of each month, and calculated by applying a daily rate, based on the
            annual percentage rates as specified in the attached Schedule(s), to
            the assets. The fee shall be based on the average daily net assets
            for the month involved.

            All rights of compensation under this Agreement for services
            performed as of the termination date shall survive the termination
            of this Agreement.

         4. Other Expenses. The Adviser shall pay all expenses of preparing
            (including typesetting), printing and mailing reports, prospectuses,
            statements of additional information, and sales literature to
            prospective clients to the extent these expenses are not borne by
            the Trust under a distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1
            of the Investment Company Act.

         5. Excess Expenses. If the expenses for any Portfolio for any fiscal
            year (including fees and other amounts payable to the Adviser, but
            excluding interest, taxes, brokerage costs, litigation, and other
            extraordinary costs) as calculated every business day would exceed
            the expense limitations imposed on investment companies by any
            applicable statute or regulatory authority of any jurisdiction in
            which Shares are qualified for offer and sale, the Adviser shall
            waive its fees, or reimburse to the Trust out of fees previously
            paid to the Adviser for such year in the amount necessary to comply
            with the expense limitation.

            However, no waiver or reimbursement under the foregoing paragraph
            shall be made which would result in the Trust's inability to qualify
            as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal
            Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Waivers or reimbursements pursuant
            to this Section 5 shall be settled on a monthly basis (subject to
            fiscal year end reconciliation) by a reduction in the fee payable to
            the Adviser for such month pursuant to Section 3 and, if such
            reduction shall be insufficient to offset such expenses, by
            reimbursing the Trust.

         6. Reports. The Trust and the Adviser agree to furnish to each other,
            if applicable, current prospectuses, proxy statements, reports to
            shareholders, certified copies of their financial statements, and
            such other information with regard to their affairs as each may
            reasonably request.

         7. Status of the Adviser. The services of the Adviser to the Trust are
            not to be deemed exclusive, and the Adviser shall be free to render
            similar services to others so long as its services to the Trust are
            not impaired thereby. The Adviser shall be deemed to be an
            independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly
            provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent
            the Trust in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Trust.

         8. Certain Records. Any records required to be maintained and preserved
            pursuant to the provisions of Rule 31a-1 and Rule 31a-2 promulgated
            under the Investment Company Act which are prepared or maintained by
            the Adviser on behalf of the Trust are the property of the Trust and
            will be surrendered promptly to the Trust on request.

         9. Limitation of Liability of the Adviser. The duties of the Adviser
            shall be confined to those expressly set forth herein, and no
            implied duties are assumed by or may be asserted against the Adviser
            hereunder. The Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment
            or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or
            for any act or omission in carrying out its duties hereunder, except
            a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
            negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of
            reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder, except
            as may otherwise be provided under provisions of applicable state
            and federal law which cannot be waived or modified hereby. (As used
            in this Paragraph 9, the term "Adviser" shall include directors,
            officers, employees and other corporate agents of the Adviser as
            well as that corporation itself).

        10. Permissible Interests. Trustees, agents, and shareholders of the
            Trust are or may be interested in the Adviser (or any successor
            thereof) as directors, partners, officers, or shareholders, or
            otherwise; directors, partners, officers, agents, and shareholders
            of the Adviser are or may be interested in the Trust as Trustees,
            shareholders or otherwise; and the Adviser (or any successor) is or
            may be interested in the Trust as a shareholder or otherwise. In
            addition, brokerage transactions for the Trust may be effected
            through affiliates of the Adviser if approved by the Board of
            Trustees, subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
            Exchange Commission.

        11. Duration and Termination. This Agreement, unless sooner terminated
            as provided herein, shall remain in effect until two years from date
            of execution, and thereafter, for periods of one year so long as
            such continuance thereafter is specifically approved at least
            annually (a) by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
            Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of
            any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose
            of voting on such approval, and (b) by the Trustees of the Trust or
            by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each
            Portfolio; provided, however, that if the shareholders of any
            Portfolio fail to approve the Agreement as provided herein, the
            Adviser may continue to serve hereunder in the manner and to the
            extent permitted by the Investment Company Act and rules and
            regulations thereunder. The foregoing requirement that continuance
            of this Agreement be "specifically approved at least annually" shall
            be construed in a manner consistent with the Investment Company Act
            and the rules and regulations thereunder.

            This Agreement may be terminated as to any Portfolio at any time,
            without the payment of any penalty by vote of a majority of the
            Trustees of the Trust or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
            voting securities of the Portfolio on not less than 30 days nor more
            than 60 days written notice to the Adviser, or by the Adviser at any
            time without the payment of any penalty, on 90 days written notice
            to the Trust. This Agreement will automatically and immediately
            terminate in the event of its assignment. Any notice under this
            Agreement shall be given in writing, addressed and delivered, or
            mailed postpaid, to the other party at any office of such party.

            As used in this Section 11, the terms "assignment", "interested
            persons", and a "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
            securities" shall have the respective meanings set forth in the
            Investment Company Act and the rules and regulations thereunder;
            subject to such exemptions as may be granted by the Securities and
            Exchange Commission under said Act.


        12. Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given by either
            party to the other shall be deemed sufficient if sent by registered
            or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed by the party giving
            notice to the other party at the last address furnished by the other
            party to the party giving notice: if to the Trust, at 680 East
            Swedesford Road, Wayne, PA 19087 and if to the Adviser at: One
            Valley Square, Charleston, WV 25326

        13. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or
            made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the
            remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

         A copy of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Trust is on
file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and notice is
hereby given that this instrument is executed on behalf of the Trustees of the
Trust as Trustees, and are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers, or
shareholders of the Trust individually but binding only upon the assets and
property of the Trust.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
