To The Cutler Trust Shareholders:

We are pleased to present our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1999. This has been another extraordinary year for the markets, much like last
year with newly-issued stocks trading wildly, the broad range of smaller issues
just treading water, and a mere handful of large, dominant issues leading the
market higher. The S&P 500 Index of common stocks increased 22.76%. On page 3,
our life-of-fund data are compared with this index.

We are pleased to tell you that Mr. John A. Nyheim, our Chief Investment
Strategist, will join Mr. Kenneth R. Cutler as co-manager of the Cutler Equity
Income Fund in the October quarter. This team will be assisted by Mr. Michael A.
Kijesky, Senior Equity Analyst and Portfolio Manager. On January 1, 2000, Mr.
Cutler will retire from active portfolio management but will remain as Chairman
of the Cutler Trust.

During the quarter just ended, the Cutler "Approved List Fund" was renamed
"Value Fund" and the former criteria were removed. Portfolio Manager Robert W.
Lamberti, CFA, has used this new flexibility very constructively.

We continue to believe that in times of rapidly changing markets investors will
be rewarded by conservative stock selection and close attention to fundamental
economic and market shifts. As always, if you have any questions, please let us
help.

Sincerely,

THE CUTLER TRUST

INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT JUNE 30, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last year we stated: "For the moment, America seems to be enjoying the best of
all worlds. Any literate and willing worker can find a job, companies make
increasing profits just by intelligently holding out their hand, and
miraculously prices don't go up (except on things you buy). We are dealing with
a worldwide flow of financial transactions of such size, and traveling at such
speed, as to be only vaguely comprehensible. It is easy to see why irrational
exuberance can dance around the margins." This year we cautiously continue those
observations except to note that values continue to exist amidst the confusion.

Over many years we have discussed the relationship of the Dow Jones Industrial
Average (the "Dow") to the Gross Domestic Product ("GDP"). This seems to have
served as a "rationality ratio", with the Dow related to the GDP expressed in
billions. For the past five fiscal years this ratio has been 70%, 75%, 97%, 107%
and 127%, respectively. The historic parameters seem to be between 60% in
depressed times and 140% during prosperous times. By this measure, however
imperfect, both the market and the economy appear worthy of increasingly close
scrutiny and research.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

The US economy continues to shake off external shocks as it records quarter
after quarter of real growth. We expect this solid performance to carry through
as the housing market remains strong, inventories remain in check, and strong
business investment continues. We would generally agree with consensus GDP
growth estimates, which are in the 3% range. Our US inflation expectation is for
a slight uptick, from the sub 2% level, due to the strength of the dollar and
the potential for real price increases in select commodities.

There are, however, potential imbalances that need to be watched as the year
progresses, which include the very low to non-existent consumer savings rate,
potentially inflation-triggering unemployment levels, a large foreign trade
imbalance, and the continued government surplus at the federal as well as local
levels.

Corporate profits should also continue higher as free cash flow is strong
allowing for continued capital investment and renewed share repurchase programs.
The recent surge in corporate debt refinancing will also aid the bottom line
going forward. Additionally, the corporate sector should grow faster than GDP as
government spending is flat and the non-corporate private sector is held back by
no-growth areas like agriculture. Finally, evidence is mounting that the global
economic decline has ended and is moving forward again providing lift for the
multinational corporate profit outlook.

EQUITY INCOME FUND

This fund historically has been criteria-based and discipline-driven. Typically,
we concentrate in the top quartile of our Approved List (the "List") as arrayed
to assist our selection of those issues most likely to reflect our current
strategy, which is total return. Since this is a concentrated strategy, we may
hold some temporary cash reserves pending redeployment. At June 30, 1999, we
held 13.4% of the portfolio in U.S. Treasury Bills, vs. 11.6% last year. During
the coming year, we expect to expand the List, update the criteria, and add to
focused analysis of issues.

VALUE FUND

During the past quarter this fund has converted from automatically holding 90%
or more of issues on the Approved List to selectively holding those issues
believed to represent the best values available in the broad spectrum of
high-quality investments. This will be continued and expanded during the coming
year.

COMPARISON OF CHANGE IN VALUE OF $10,000 INVESTMENT
JUNE 30, 1999

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

These charts reflect a comparison of changes in value of a $10,000 investment in
the Cutler Equity Income Fund and Cutler Value Fund since inception, including
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, and the performance of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500 Index"). The S&P 500 Index is a market
weighted index composed of 500 large capitalization companies and reflects the
reinvestment of dividends. The S&P 500 Index does not reflect expenses, which
have been deducted from each Fund's return. Individuals cannot invest in an
index.

Past performance is not predictive of future results. Investment return and
principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than original cost. Total return for the funds would have been lower had
certain fees and expenses not been voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed.

THE CUTLER TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION

  The Cutler Trust (the "Trust") was organized on October 2, 1992, as an
  open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of
  1940. The Trust currently has two diversified investment portfolios
  (individually, a "Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds"). The Cutler Equity
  Income Fund and Cutler Value Fund each commenced operations on December 30,
  1992. On April 26, 1999, Cutler Approved List Equity Fund was renamed Cutler
  Value Fund.

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  These financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
  accounting principles, which require management to make estimates and
  assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
  disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
  statements, and the reported amounts of increase and decrease in net assets
  from operations during the fiscal period. Actual results could differ from
  those estimates.

  The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:

  SECURITY VALUATION -- The Trust determines the net asset value per share of
  each Fund as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange
  (currently 4:00 P.M., Eastern time) on each Fund Business Day, as defined in
  the Funds' prospectus. Securities with a maturity of 60 days or less are
  valued at amortized cost. Securities for which market quotations are readily
  available are valued using the last reported sales price provided by
  independent pricing services. If no sale is reported, the mean of the last bid
  and ask price is used. If no mean price is available, the last bid price is
  used. In the absence of readily available market quotations, securities are
  valued at fair value using procedures approved by the Trust's Board of
  Trustees.

  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Dividend income is recorded on
  the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded as earned. Security
  transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss on
  investments sold is recorded on the basis of identified cost.

  DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends from net investment income, if any,
  are declared and paid quarterly on the Funds. Capital gain distributions, if
  any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Distributions are
  based on amounts calculated in accordance with applicable federal income tax
  regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
  These differences are due primarily to differing treatments of income and gain
  on various investment securities held by the Fund, timing differences and
  differing characterizations of distributions made by the Fund.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE CUTLER TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  FEDERAL TAXES -- The Funds intend to qualify each year as regulated investment
  companies and distribute all their taxable income. In addition, by
  distributing in each calendar year substantially all their net investment
  income, capital gain and certain other amounts, if any, the Funds will not be
  subject to a federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax
  provision is required.

  EXPENSE ALLOCATION -- The Trust accounts separately for the assets and
  liabilities and operations of each Fund. Expenses that are directly
  attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES

  INVESTMENT ADVISER -- The investment adviser to the Funds is Cutler & Company,
  LLC ("Adviser"). Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser
  receives an advisory fee from Cutler Equity Income Fund and Cutler Value Fund
  at an annual rate of 0.75% of each Fund's average daily net assets.

  MANAGER -- The Trust has entered into a Management Agreement with Forum
  Administrative Services, LLC ("FAdS"). For its services, FAdS is entitled to
  receive compensation at an annual rate of 0.10% of each Fund's average daily
  net assets.

  TRANSFER AGENT AND DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT -- Forum Shareholder Services,
  LLC ("FSS"), an affiliate of FAdS, provides services as the Funds' transfer
  agent and dividend disbursing agent pursuant to a separate agreement. For
  these services, FSS receives a fee of $1,000 per month, per Fund, plus certain
  other fees and expenses. Prior to September 28, 1998, Forum Financial Corp.
  served as the Funds' transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for which it
  received the same compensation as FSS.

  OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS -- Forum Accounting Services, LLC ("FAcS"), an
  affiliate of FAdS, serves as the fund accountant for the Trust. FAcS is paid a
  fee for its portfolio accounting services of $36,000 per year for each Fund,
  subject to adjustments for the number and type of portfolio transactions.
  Forum Financial Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer, acts as the
  Trust's distributor pursuant to a separate Distribution Agreement with the
  Trust for which it receives no compensation.

NOTE 5.  MISCELLANEOUS

  Prior to April 26, 1999, the Cutler Value Fund was called the "Cutler Approved
  List Equity Fund" (the "Fund"). On April 26, 1999, a special meeting of the
  shareholders of the Fund was held to vote on the following two proposals. Only
  shareholders of record on March 15, 1999, were entitled to vote. Both
  proposals were approved by the shareholders. Correspondingly, the Fund's name
  was changed to "Cutler Value Fund."

  Proposal 1. It was proposed that the Fund's investment objective be changed
  from "to seek current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing
  in at least 90% of the common stocks within the Adviser's "Approved List" to
  "to seek current income and long-term capital appreciation." The Fund now
  seeks to meet its objective by investing in "value" stocks -- stocks whose
  price/earnings ratios are lower relative to the S&P 500. The Fund is no longer
  required to invest any particular amount of its assets in the common stocks on
  the Approved List. The Fund, however, will be able to purchase companies that
  are listed on exchanges other than the New York Stock Exchange. The Fund is
  also no longer required to purchase companies that have paid dividends
  continuously for at least 20 years, but will focus on dividend paying stocks
  and will attempt to maintain a yield above the market average. Lastly, the
  Fund's restrictions that it only purchase companies that have commercial paper
  rated Prime-1 and senior debt rated in the three highest rating categories
  were eliminated.

  Proposal 2. It was proposed that the Fund's fundamental investment restriction
  on purchasing foreign investments be removed. The Fund is now able to invest a
  portion of its assets in foreign issuers through American Depositary Receipts.
  Although the Fund has no current intention of investing directly in the
  securities of foreign issuers or purchasing securities on a foreign market,
  removal of this investment limitation enables the Fund to make these
  investments in the future.

THE CUTLER TRUST

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

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

To the Shareholders and Trustees
The Cutler Trust

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments, of The Cutler Trust (the "Trust"), consisting of
the Cutler Equity Income Fund and Cutler Value Fund (formerly Cutler Approved
List Equity Fund), as of June 30, 1999, the related statements of operations for
the year then ended, and of changes in net assets for each of the two years in
the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in
the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities owned as of
June 30, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the
portfolios constituting The Cutler Trust as of June 30, 1999, the results of
their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights
for the above stated periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
