                             THE MONTGOMERY FUNDS II

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

    The Montgomery Funds II (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end
management investment company. As of December 31, 1995, the Trust had two
publicly offered series, the Montgomery Asset Allocation Fund and the Montgomery
Institutional Series: Emerging Markets Portfolio.

    The Montgomery Funds II were organized as a Delaware business trust on
September 8, 1993 and commenced operations with the Montgomery Institutional
Series: Emerging Markets Portfolio. Prior to the public offerings of shares of
each Fund, a limited number of shares were sold to Montgomery Asset Management,
L.P. and/or affiliated persons of Montgomery Asset Management in private
placement offerings. Otherwise, no Fund had any significant operations prior to
the date on which it commenced operations (i.e., commenced selling shares to the
public). On December 1, 1995, the Montgomery Asset Allocation Fund commenced
offering Class P Shares. As of December 31, 1995, no Class P Shares had been
sold. Any shares outstanding prior to December 1, 1995 were designated as Class
R Shares.

    Information presented in these financial statements pertains only to the
Montgomery Institutional Series: Emerging Markets Portfolio (the "Fund"). The
financial statements for the Montgomery Asset Allocation Fund have been
presented under separate cover.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

    a. PORTFOLIO VALUATION--The Fund's securities, including American Depositary
Receipts and European Depositary Receipts, which are traded on securities
exchanges, are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which such
securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are
being valued or, lacking any reported sales and in the case of fixed income
securities, at the mean between the last available bid and asked price. In cases
where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued
on the exchange determined by the Manager to be the primary market. Securities
traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the mean between the last
available bid and asked price prior to the time of valuation.

    Securities denominated in foreign currencies and traded on foreign exchanges
or in foreign markets will have their value translated into U.S. dollars at the
last price of their respective currency denomination against U.S. dollars quoted
by a major bank or, if no such quotation is available, at the rate of exchange
determined in accordance with policies established in good faith by the Board of
Trustees. Because the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies must
be translated into U.S. dollars, fluctuations in the value of such currencies in
relation to the U.S. dollar may affect the net asset value of Fund shares even
if there has not been any change in the foreign-currency denominated value of
such securities. Securities and assets for which market quotations are not
readily available (including restricted securities which are subject to
limitations as to their sale) are valued at fair value as determined in good
faith by or under the supervision of the Trust in accordance with methods which
are authorized by the Trust's Board of Trustees.

    Short term debt obligations with remaining maturities in excess of 60 days
are valued at current market prices, as discussed above. Short-term securities
with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are, unless conditions indicate
otherwise, amortized to maturity based on their cost to the Fund if acquired
within 60 days of maturity or, if already held by the Fund on the 60th day,
based on the value determined on the 61st day.

    b. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--The Fund may engage in repurchase agreements
individually or jointly through a joint repurchase account with other series of
the Trust pursuant to a joint repurchase agreement. Under the terms of a typical
repurchase agreement, the Fund writes a financial contract with a counterparty
and takes possession of a government or other debt obligation as collateral. The
Fund also agrees with the counterparty to allow the counterparty to repurchase
the financial contract at a specified date and price, thereby determining the
yield during the Fund's holding period. This arrangement results in a fixed rate
of return that is not subject to market fluctuations during the Fund's holding
period. The value of the collateral is at least equal at all times to the total
amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. In the event of
counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset
losses incurred. There is potential loss to the Fund in the event the Fund is
delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral
securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of



                            ---------- 16 ----------
<PAGE>   18
                             THE MONTGOMERY FUNDS II

the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its
rights. The Fund's investment manager, acting under the supervision of the Board
of Trustees, reviews the value of the collateral and the creditworthiness of
those banks and dealers with which the Fund enters into repurchase agreements to
evaluate potential risks. The Fund may also participate on an individual or
joint basis in tri-party repurchase agreements which involve a counterparty and
a custodian bank.

    c. FOREIGN CURRENCY--Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and
liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at
the end of the period, and purchases and sales of investment securities, income
and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
Unrealized gains and losses which result from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates on investments have been included in the unrealized
appreciation/(depreciation) of securities. Net realized foreign currency gains
and losses resulting from movement in exchange rates include foreign currency
gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities
transactions, foreign currency transactions and the difference between the
amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the
amount actually received and the portion of foreign currency gains and losses
related to fluctuations in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade
date and subsequent sale trade date.

    d. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS--Forward foreign currency contracts
are valued at the forward rate and are marked-to-market daily. The change in
market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss.

    When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal
to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened
and the value at the time it was closed. Forward foreign currency contracts have
been used solely to establish a rate of exchange for settlement of transactions.
Although forward foreign currency contracts limit the risk of loss due to a
decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain
that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the
Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable
to meet the terms of their contracts.

    e. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Dividends from net investment income of the
Fund are declared and paid annually.

    Distributions of any short-term capital gains earned by the Fund are
distributed no less frequently than annually. Additional distributions of net
investment income and capital gains for the Fund may be made in order to avoid
the application of a 4% non-deductible excise tax on certain undistributed
amounts of ordinary income and capital gains. Income distributions and capital
gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These
differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on
various investment securities held by the Fund, timing differences and differing
characterization of distributions made by the Fund.

    f. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Securities transactions
are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities
transactions are recorded on the specific identified cost basis. Dividend income
is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where
applicable, amortization of discount on short-term investments, is recognized on
an accrual basis. Dividend income on foreign securities is recognized as soon as
the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date.

    g. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The Fund has qualified and it is the intention of
the Fund to continue to qualify and elect treatment as a regulated investment
company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), by complying with the provisions available to certain investment
companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Code, and to make
distributions of taxable income to shareholders sufficient to relieve the Fund
from all or substantially all federal income taxes.

    h. ORGANIZATION COSTS--Expenses incurred in connection with the organization
of the Fund, excluding the fees and expenses of registering and qualifying its
shares for distribution under federal and state securities regulations, are
amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years from December 17,
1993.

    i. EXPENSES--Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a
Fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
Funds in the Trust.

2. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:

    a. Montgomery Asset Management, L.P. is the Fund's Manager (the "Manager").
The Manager, a California limited partnership, is an investment adviser
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"). The general partner of
the Manager is Montgomery Asset Management, Inc. The sole limited partner of the
Manager is Montgomery Securities, the Fund's principal underwriter and
distributor. Under the Advisers Act, both Montgomery Asset Management, Inc. and
Montgomery Securities may be deemed controlling persons of the Manager. Although
the operations and management of the Manager are independent from those of
Montgomery Securities, it is expected that the Manager may draw upon the
research and administrative resources of Montgomery Securities at its discretion
in a manner consistent with applicable regulations.

    Pursuant to an investment management agreement ("Investment Management
Agreement"), the Manager provides the Fund with advice on buying and selling
securities, manages the investments of the Fund including the placement of
orders for portfolio transactions, furnishes the Fund with office space and
certain administrative services, and provides the personnel needed by the Trust
with respect to the Manager's responsibilities under such Agreement. As
compensation, the Fund pays the Manager a monthly management fee (accrued daily)
based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund, at an effective annual rate
of 1.05% of average daily net assets before any deferral or recoupment of fees
for the period ending December 31, 1995. The Manager has agreed to reduce some
or all of its management fee or absorb Fund expenses if necessary to keep the
Fund's annual operating expenses, exclusive of interest or taxes, at or below
the lesser of 1.40% of average daily net assets or the maximum allowed by
applicable state expense limitations. Any reductions made for the Fund by the
Manager are subject to recovery within the following three years provided the
Fund is able to affect such reimbursement and remain in compliance with
applicable expense limitations. Any of the Manager's voluntary absorptions are
also subject to recovery. For the six months ending December 31, 1995, the
Manager recouped fees of $584,622, which had been deferred during prior fiscal
years.

    For the six months ended December 31, 1995, the Manager has deferred fees as
follows:

                                                                          Fees
                                                                        Deferred
                                                                        --------
<S>                                                                     <C>     
Montgomery Institutional Series: Emerging Markets Portfolio             $689,639
</TABLE>

    As of December 31, 1995, the amount deferred management fees subject to
recoupment is $689,639.

    b. Montgomery Asset Management, L.P., serves as the Fund's administrator
(the "Administrator"). The Administrator performs services with regard to
various aspects of the Fund's administrative operations. As compensation, the
Fund pays the Administrator a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.05% of average
daily net assets. For the six months ended 12/31/95, the Administrator waived
fees of $29,133.

    c. Certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are, with respect to the
Trust's Manager and/or principal underwriter, "affiliated persons" as defined in
the 1940 Act. Each Trustee of the Montgomery Funds II who is not an "affiliated
person" receives an annual retainer and quarterly meeting fees totalling $30,000
per annum, as well as reimbursement for expenses, for service as a Trustee of
all three Trusts advised by the Manager ($5,000 of which was allocated to the
Montgomery Funds II and the Montgomery Funds III, together).

    d. The Fund has no sales load and does not pay distribution (Rule 12b-1)
fees to its distributor. Therefore, Montgomery Securities has received no direct
compensation for serving as the Fund's principal underwriter and distributor.

    e. For the six months ended December 31, 1995, the Fund's securities
transactions generated commissions of $1,054,546, none of which was paid to
Montgomery Securities.

3. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:

    a. The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities,
other than short-term securities, for the six months ended December 31, 1995,
was as follows:

    b. At December 31, 1995, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all
securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost and aggregate
gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of
tax cost over value for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

<S>                                                              <C>            <C>        
Montgomery Institutional Series: Emerging Markets Portfolio      $13,068,285    $17,623,535
</TABLE>

    c. The Fund regularly trades forward foreign currency exchange contracts
with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities in
order to manage exposure to market risks such as interest rates and foreign
currency exchange rates.

    The contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the
Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and does not necessarily
represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks
associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and
offsetting transactions are considered. Summaries of obligations under these
financial instruments at December 31, 1995 were as follows:

    To the extent consistent with certain tax requirements, investment expense
reimbursement fees and redemption expense reimbursement fees of 0.75% may be
imposed on the purchase or redemption of Fund shares. Payment of such fees
reflected in the dollar amount above are paid in cash. This adjustment is not a
sales charge. It is kept in the Fund for the benefit of all shareholders. The
purpose of the adjustment is to prevent the performance of the Fund from being
adversely affected by the transaction costs created by the investment of cash
received by the Fund or the sale of securities to obtain cash.

5. ILLIQUID AND SPECIAL SITUATION SECURITIES:

    The Fund may not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid
securities. The following securities have been determined by the Manager to be
illiquid because they are restricted or there is an exceptionally low trading
volume in the primary trading market for the security at December 31, 1995.

           MONTGOMERY INSTITUTIONAL SERIES: EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO


    The following securities held by the Fund on December 31, 1995 are generally
unrestricted securities for which reliable market prices can be established.
These securities are valued at their market prices. However, because the process
of re-registering foreign securities in the Fund's name can take more than seven
days, the following shares of each of these securities were deemed restricted or
illiquid in the hands of the Fund at December 31, 1995. The Fund bears the cost
of re-registering these securities:

6. FOREIGN SECURITIES:

    The Fund purchases securities in emerging market countries. Securities of
foreign companies and foreign governments involve special risks and
considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the
U.S. government. These risks include re-evaluation of currencies, less reliable
information about issuers, differences in the clearance and settlement of
securities transactions practices, and future adverse political and economic
developments. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging market
countries. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign
governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile
than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.

7. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD:

    At June 30, 1995, the Montgomery Institutional Series: Emerging Markets
Portfolio had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital losses of
$4,067,977 expiring in 2002.

    Under current tax law, net capital and currency losses realized after
October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the
following fiscal year. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, the Portfolio
elected to defer losses of $10,580,930 occurring between November 1, 1994 and
June 30, 1995.

    Such deferred losses will be treated as arising on the first day of the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1996.

   The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
