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

October 31, 2000

Dear Shareholders:

Enclosed is our annual report on the investment results and strategies for the
DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio, the DSI Small Cap Value Portfolio, the DSI
Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio, the DSI Balanced Portfolio, and the DSI Money
Market Portfolio.

UAM:  DSI DISCIPLINED VALUE PORTFOLIO

The Disciplined Value Portfolio posted a net return of 7.21% for the
twelve-month period ending October 31, 2000. In the same time period the
Standard & Poor's 500 ("S&P 500") returned 6.09%, the Lipper Equity Income Funds
Index (the Portfolio's category) returned 6.77%. The current fiscal year began
on a sour note, with the value style of equity management continuing to
underperform the growth and momentum styles. The last two quarters of the fiscal
year, however, have turned things completely around. For the full fiscal year,
your portfolio outperformed the S&P 500.

EQUITY MARKET OUTLOOK

Third quarter corporate earnings reports are showing continued strong growth but
with declining momentum: first quarter S&P 500 earnings were up 21%; second
quarter earnings were up 15%; and third quarter earnings appear to be up just
over 12%. This declining momentum should continue into the first half of next
year. Thus earnings growth, while still spectacular on an historic basis, could
prove disappointing in 2001, especially for stocks "priced for perfection."

We believe that with the uncertainty caused by high valuations and moderating
earnings growth, investments in modestly valued stocks that have solid
management and well grounded prospects for future growth, such as the
investments in your portfolio, seem poised to succeed. The argument in favor of
Value investing, at this point, seems quite compelling.

UAM:  DSI SMALL CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO

After two years of sharply underperforming, small cap stocks moved up strongly
in the year ended October 31, 2000. The S&P (small cap) 600 Index increased
25.57% well ahead of the 6.09% gain in the S&P 500. The value component of the
small cap index was up 17.8%. As investors moved away from technology stocks
during the year, their interest broadened to encompass the small and mid-cap
groups. Our fund had an excellent year, appreciating 55.08%. Our biggest
positive contributors included DII Group and Apex, both of which were involved
in mergers, and technology stocks Merix and Artesyn Technologies. Outside of
technology, we had a

number of winners. Most prominent were Advanced Paradigm, in the health care
sector, and Waste Connections, a solid waste recovery company. On the down side
were Mapix, a software company, and Profit Recovery Group, an audit recovery
services firm. Both reported disappointing earnings. Going into the new year, we
continue to be very selective about the stocks in the portfolio. We currently
have 38 holdings and firmly believe that based on their valuations relative to
growth prospects, we are well positioned to continue to outperform.

UAM:  DSI LIMITED MATURITY BOND PORTFOLIO

The Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio posted a net performance of 5.41% for the
twelve month period ended October 31, 2000. During the same period the Merrill
Lynch 1-4.99 Year Corporate/Government Bond Index returned 6.29%.

FIXED INCOME INVESTMENT STRATEGY

There were several significant factors affecting the U.S. fixed income markets
over the past twelve months. The bulging budget surplus combined with
election-year politics manifested in a sweeping buyback program by the U.S.
Treasury. In an effort to reduce outstanding debt and lower the average interest
rate paid by the government on the bonds it has issued, the U.S. Treasury
focused the bulk of its purchases on longer dated Treasuries, causing supply to
dwindle and prices to rise. Meanwhile, as economic data hinted at increased
risks of inflation, the Federal Reserve raised the Fed Funds rate from 5.25% to
6.50% from November 16, 1999 through May 16, 2000. The yields for short and
medium term Treasuries continued to rise in the latter part of 1999 and early in
2000, with the erosion of Y2K fears, spreads in almost all sectors of fixed
income began widening causing a decline in prices for most bond investments.
With that backdrop, the Treasury yield curve inverted in January and became even
more extreme during the first half of the year.

Since the last Fed Funds rate hike at the May Federal Open Market Committee
("FOMC") meeting, there has been a series of economic reports all pointing to a
significant slowdown in growth. The third quarter saw positive returns in all
the major sectors of the fixed income universe as data consistently provided
evidence of an economic slowdown and a continued absence of inflation. Perhaps
the most notable outcome of the third quarter market activity was the change in
the shape of the yield curve, where by quarter end there was a positive sloping
relationship between the 10-year Treasury note and the 30-year Treasury bond for
the first time since January. This "disinversion" in the shape of the yield
curve was largely a result of perceived changes in the Treasury buyback program
based on expectations that the next administration's fiscal program will
eliminate a large portion of the budget surplus.

                                       2

Also, supporting the return to a more normal, positively sloped yield curve was
increased evidence that the economy is slowing to a more sustainable growth
rate, possibly alleviating the need for further increases in the Fed Funds rate.

By the end of October, forecasts that the Federal Reserve would shift to a
neutral bias at the next FOMC meeting were largely abandoned due to low
unemployment numbers and increasing wage pressure. Although the Fed could move
to a neutral bias over the next few months if economic data continues to support
an economy growing below potential, this does not necessarily imply a near-term
rate cut. Going forward, spread product - the portfolio's primary investment -
should provide excess returns over Treasury securities. We continue to believe
that institutional investors have invested cautiously during the period and have
additional capacity for fixed income investments. Therefore, the portfolio will
maintain its commitment to spread product.

UAM:  DSI BALANCED PORTFOLIO

The Balanced Portfolio has returned a net 7.76% for the twelve month period
ending October 31, 2000, compared with the Blended Balanced Index comprised of
the S&P 500 Index, Lehman Aggregate Index and the U.S. 3-month Treasury Bill
Index return of 6.91% for the same period.

EQUITY MARKET COMMENTARY

Our investment strategy for the equity portion of the Balanced Portfolio is
identical to that of the Disciplined Value Portfolio. Please refer to that
section for equity commentary.

FIXED INCOME MARKET COMMENTARY

Our fixed income strategy is discussed in the section pertaining to our
management of the Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio. In general, we have a market
weighting in lower coupon mortgage-backed securities and an above average
weighting in investment grade corporate bonds. Less-than-investment grade
corporates are under the prospectus limit of ten percent.

ASSET MIX

As of October 31, 2000, the portfolio held 65.5% in equities and 34.4% in fixed
income securities and cash equivalents.

UAM:  DSI MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO

The Money Market Portfolio had a 7 day compounded yield of 6.31% on October 31,
2000, versus 6.01% for the iMoneynet All Taxable Average. The Money Market
Portfolio had a return of 5.95% for the one-year period ended October 31, 2000,
versus 5.70% for the iMoneynet All Taxable Average.

We continue to pursue a strategy of investing in only the highest quality
short-term investments for the portfolio. We have expanded our list of approved
corporate names to include some overlooked programs. Money Market rates of
interest are a direct function of the Federal Funds Rate and monetary policy.

The portfolio ended the period with 100% in discount commercial paper and
mortgages. The portfolio average days to maturity ended at 27 days. The Money
Market Portfolio is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The
portfolio is managed according to 2a-7 guidelines however there is no assurance
that the stable net asset value of $1.00 will be maintained.

Sincerely,

All performance presented in this report is historical and should not be
construed as a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal
value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. A portfolio's
performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains.

There are no assurances that a portfolio will meet its stated objectives.

A portfolio's holdings and allocations are subject to change because it is
actively managed and should not be considered recommendations to buy individual
securities.

Yield will fluctuate as market conditions change. An investment in the DSI Money
Market portfolio is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency. Although the portfolio seeks to preserve the value
of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing
in the portfolio.

                      Definition of the Comparative Indices
                      -------------------------------------

Balanced Index is hypothetical benchmark index comprised of 50% S&P Index, 45%
Lehman Aggregate Bond Index and 5% U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Index.

iMoneynet All Taxable Average is an average of all major money market fund
yields, published weekly for 7- and 30-day yields.

Lehman Aggregate Index is an unmanaged fixed income market value-weighted index
that combines the Lehman Government/Corporate Index and the Lehman
Mortgage-Backed Securities Index, and includes treasury issues, agency issues,
corporate bond issues and mortgage backed securities. It includes fixed rate
issuers of investment grade (BBB) or higher, with maturities of at least one
year and outstanding par values of at least $200 million for U.S. government
issues and $25 million for others.

Lipper 1-5 Year Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Average is an average of 100
funds that invest at least 65% of assets in investment grade debt issues (BBB or
higher) with dollar-weighted average maturities of 5 years or less.

Lipper Equity Income Fund Index is an unmanaged index of equity funds which seek
relatively high current income and growth of income through investing 60% or
more of the portfolio in equities.

Merrill Lynch 1-4.99 Year Corporate/Government Bond Index is an unmanaged index
composed of U.S. treasuries, agencies and corporates with maturities from 1 to
4.99 years. Corporates are investment grade only (BBB or higher).

Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index composed of the 2,000 smallest stocks
in the Russell 3000 Index.

Russell 2000 Value Index contains those Russell 2000 securities with a
less-than-average growth orientation. Securities in this index tend to exhibit
lower price-to-book and price-earnings ratios, higher dividend yields and lower
forecasted growth values than the growth universe.

Standard & Poor's 500 Index is an unmanaged index composed of 400 industrial
stocks, 40 financial stocks, 40 utility stocks and 20 transportation stocks.

Standard & Poor's Small Cap 600 Index is an unmanaged index comprised of 600
domestic stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group
representation. The index is comprised of stocks from the industrial, utility,
financial, and transportation sectors.

U.S. Three-Month Treasury Bill Average is the average return for all treasury
bills for the previous three month period.

The comparative indices assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike a
portfolio's returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees were
reflected in the comparative indices' returns, the performance would have been
lower.

      Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.

 * Beginning of operations.  Index comparisons begin on 12/31/97.
** If the adviser and/or portfolio service providers had not limited certain
   expenses, the portfolio's total return would have been lower.

All performance presented in this report is historical and should not be
construed as a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal
value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

A portfolio's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and capital
gains.

Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike a portfolio's
returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees and expenses were
included in the index returns, the performance would have been lower.

Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index. See
definition of comparative indices on pages 6 and 7.

UAM FUNDS                                                          DSI PORTFOLIO

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     UAM Funds, Inc., UAM Funds, Inc. II and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the
"UAM Funds") are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The DSI Small Cap Value Portfolio, DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio, DSI
Balanced Portfolio, DSI Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio, and DSI Money Market
Portfolio, (the "Portfolios"), portfolios of UAM Funds, Inc., are diversified,
open-end management investment companies. At October 31, 2000, the UAM Funds
were comprised of 49 active portfolios. The information presented in the
financial statements pertains only to the Portfolios. The Portfolios are
authorized to offer two separate classes of shares - Institutional Class Shares
and Institutional Service Class Shares ("Service Class Shares"). The DSI
Disciplined Value Portfolio had issued Service Class Shares until May 2, 2000 at
which time the class fully liquidated its assets. Both classes of shares have
identical voting rights (except Institutional Service Class shareholders have
exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to distribution and
shareholder servicing of such shares), dividend, liquidation and other rights.
The objectives of the Portfolios are as follows:

          DSI Small Cap Value Portfolio seeks maximum capital appreciation
     consistent with reasonable risk to principal by investing in primarily
     smaller capital companies.

          DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio seeks to achieve maximum long-term
     total return consistent with reasonable risk to principal through
     diversified equity investments.

          DSI Balanced Portfolio seeks to provide maximum long-term capital
     growth consistent with reasonable risk to principal by investing in a
     diversified portfolio of equity, primarily investment grade fixed income
     and money market securities.

          DSI Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio seeks to provide maximum total
     return consistent with reasonable risk to principal by investing in
     investment grade fixed income securities. The Portfolio will ordinarily
     maintain an average weighted maturity of less than six years.

          DSI Money Market Portfolio seeks to provide maximum current income
     consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity by investing in
     short-term investment grade money market obligations issued or guaranteed
     by financial institutions, non financial corporations, and the United
     States Government, as well as repurchase agreements collateralized by such
     securities.

     A. Significant Accounting Policies: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the

                                      44
<PAGE>

UAM FUNDS                                                          DSI PORTFOLIO

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

United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the
Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. Accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America may require
Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from
those estimates.

          1. Security Valuation: Investments for which market quotations are
     readily available are stated at market value, which is determined using the
     last reported sale price from the exchange where the security is primarily
     traded. If no sales are reported, as in the case of some securities traded
     over-the-counter, the market value is determined by using the last reported
     bid price. Fixed income securities are stated on the basis of valuations
     provided by brokers and/or a pricing service which uses information with
     respect to transactions in fixed income securities, quotations from
     dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various
     relationships between securities in determining value. Securities quoted in
     foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange
     rate. Short-term investments with maturities of sixty days or less at time
     of purchase are valued at amortized cost, if it approximates market value.
     The value of other assets and securities for which no quotations are
     readily available is determined in good faith at fair value using methods
     determined by the Board of Directors. The values of investment securities
     held by the DSI Money Market Portfolio are stated at amortized cost, which
     approximates market value. Under this valuation method, acquisition
     discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized ratably to maturity and
     are included in interest income.

          2. Federal Income Taxes: It is each Portfolio's intention to qualify
     as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal
     Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no
     provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

          Each Portfolio, except the DSI Money Market Portfolio, may be subject
     to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are
     generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. These
     Portfolios accrue such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains,
     and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.

          3. Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions involving
     repurchase agreements, the Portfolios' custodian bank takes possession of
     the underlying securities ("collateral"), the value of which exceeds the
     principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest.
     To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the
     value of the

UAM FUNDS                                                          DSI PORTFOLIO

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

     collateral is monitored on a daily basis to determine the adequacy of the
     collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, each
     Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds
     in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by
     the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the
     collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings.

          Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange
     Commission, the UAM Funds may transfer their daily uninvested cash balances
     into a joint trading account which invests in one or more repurchase
     agreements. This joint repurchase agreement is covered by the same
     collateral requirements as discussed above.

          4. Futures and Options Contracts: Each Portfolio, except the DSI Money
     Market Portfolio, may use futures and options contracts to hedge against
     changes in the values of securities the Portfolio owns or expects to
     purchase. Each Portfolio, except the DSI Money Market Portfolio, may also
     write covered options on securities it owns or in which it may invest to
     increase its current returns.

          The potential risk to the Portfolios is that the change in value of
     futures and options contracts may not correspond to the change in value of
     the hedged instruments. In addition, losses may arise from changes in the
     value of the underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary
     market for the contracts, or if the counterparty to the contract is unable
     to perform.

          Futures contracts are valued at the quoted daily settlement prices
     established by the exchange on which they trade. Exchange traded options
     are valued at the last sale price, or if no sales are reported, the last
     bid price for purchased options and the last ask price for written options.
     The following Portfolios had futures contracts open at October 31, 2000:

          5. Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of each
     Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other
     assets

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

     and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
     dollars on the date of valuation. The Portfolios do not isolate that
     portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes
     in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the
     market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net
     realized and unrealized gain and loss on investments on the statement of
     operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign
     currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from
     forward foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign
     currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement
     dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of
     the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the
     Portfolios' books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received
     or paid.

          6. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Each Portfolio, except
     the DSI Money Market Portfolio, may enter into forward foreign currency
     exchange contracts to protect the value of securities held and related
     receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates.
     A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and
     sell currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the
     contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The
     contract is marked-to-market daily using the current forward rate and the
     change in market value is recorded by the Portfolios as unrealized gain or
     loss. The Portfolios recognize realized gain or loss when the contract is
     closed, 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. Risks may also
     arise from the unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency
     relative to the U.S. dollar. Risks may arise upon entering into these
     contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms
     of their contracts and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized
     gain on the contracts, if any, at the date of default.

          7. Distributions to Shareholders: The DSI Money Market Portfolio will
     declare daily and distribute monthly substantially all of its net
     investment income. The DSI Small Cap Value, DSI Disciplined Value, DSI
     Limited Maturity Bond, and DSI Balanced Portfolios will distribute
     substantially all of their net investment income quarterly. Any realized
     net capital gains will be distributed annually. All distributions are
     recorded on ex-dividend date.

          The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to
     be paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations
     which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the
     United States

     of America. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax
     treatments for investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS) and the
     timing of the recognition of gains or losses on investments.

     Permanent book and tax basis differences resulted in reclassifications as
follows:

                                Undistributed       Accumulated
                                Net Investment      Net Realized      Paid In

     Small Cap Value ..........    $195,731          $(195,731)    $       --
     Disciplined Value ........      42,581                 74        (42,655)
     Balanced .................        (187)               187             --

          Permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in ending
     undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of calculating
     net investment income (loss) per share in the financial highlights.

          8. Other: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the
     date the trade is executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and
     losses on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
     identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
     except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon
     as the Portfolios are informed of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is
     recognized on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities
     purchased are amortized using the effective yield basis over their
     respective lives. Most expenses of the UAM Funds can be directly attributed
     to a particular portfolio. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to
     a portfolio or share class are apportioned among the portfolios of the UAM
     Funds based on their relative net assets. Income, expenses (other than
     class specific expenses), and realized and unrealized gains or losses are
     allocated to each class of shares based upon their relative net assets.
     Custodian fees for the Portfolios are shown gross of expense offsets, if
     any, for custodian balance credits.

     B. Investment Advisory Services: Under the terms of an investment advisory
agreement, Dewey Square Investors Corporation (the "Adviser"), a subsidiary of
United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment advisory
services to the Portfolios for a monthly fee calculated at an annual rate of
0.85% of the average daily net assets for DSI Small Cap Value Portfolio; 0.75%
of the average daily net assets for DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio; 0.65% of
the average daily net assets for DSI Balanced Portfolio; 0.45% of the average
daily net assets for DSI Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio; and 0.40% of the
average daily net assets for DSI Money Market Portfolio. In addition, the
Adviser has voluntarily agreed to limit its management fee for DSI Small Cap
Value Portfolio and DSI Money Market

Portfolio to 0.75% and 0.18% of the average daily net assets, respectively. Old
Mutual, Plc. gained control of United Asset Management on September 26, 2000.

     C. Administrative Services: UAM Fund Services, Inc. (the "Administrator"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, provides and oversees administrative, fund
accounting, dividend disbursing, shareholder servicing and transfer agent
services to the Portfolios under a Fund Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). The Administrator has entered into separate Service Agreements
with SEI Mutual Funds Services ("SEI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
SEI Investments Company, DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), and UAM Shareholder Service
Center ("UAMSSC"), an affiliate of UAM, to assist in providing certain services
to the Portfolios.

     Pursuant to the Agreement, the DSI Small Cap Value, DSI Disciplined Value,
DSI Balanced, DSI Limited Maturity Bond and DSI Money Market Portfolios pay the
Administrator 0.073%, 0.093%, 0.093%, 0.073% and 0.053% per annum of the average
daily net assets of each portfolio, respectively. In addition, the Portfolios
pay an annual base fee of $72,500 and a fee based on the number of active
shareholder accounts.

     For the year ended October 31, 2000, the Administrator earned the following
amounts from each Portfolio as Administrator and paid the following to SEI, DST
and UAMSSC for their services:

     D. Custodian: The Chase Manhattan Bank is custodian for the Portfolios'
assets held in accordance with the custodian agreement. As a part of the
custodian agreement, the custodian has a lien on the securities of the
Portfolios to cover any advances made by the custodian to the Portfolios.

     E. Distribution Services: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolios.

     The DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio had adopted a Distribution and Service
Plan (the "Plan") on behalf of the Service Class Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Plan, the Service Class
Shares could not incur distribution and service fees which exceeded an annual
rate

of 0.75% of the net assets of that class of shares, however, the Board had
limited aggregate payments under the Plans to 0.50% per annum of the DSI
Disciplined Value Portfolio's net assets. The DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio's
Service Class Shares did not make payments for distribution fees, however the
DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio's Service Class Shares paid service fees at an
annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily value of Service Class Shares owned by
clients of the Service Agents. The Distributor did not receive any fee or other
compensation with respect to the DSI Small Cap Value, DSI Balanced, DSI Limited
Maturity Bond, and DSI Money Market Portfolios.

     F. Directors' Fees: Each Director, who is not an officer or affiliated
person, receives $3,000 per meeting attended plus reimbursement of expenses
incurred in attending Board meetings, which is allocated proportionally among
the active portfolios of UAM Funds, plus a quarterly retainer of $200 for each
active portfolio of the UAM Funds.

     G. Shareholder Servicing Fees: Certain brokers, dealers, banks, trust
companies and other financial representatives receive compensation from the UAM
Funds for providing a variety of services, including record keeping and
transaction processing. Such fees are based on the assets of the UAM Funds that
are serviced by the financial representative.

     H. Purchases and Sales: For the year ended October 31, 2000, purchases and
sales of investment securities other than long-term U.S. Government securities
and short-term securities were:

     I. Line of Credit: The DSI Small Cap Value, DSI Disciplined Value, DSI
Balanced, and DSI Limited Maturity Bond Portfolios, along with certain other
portfolios of UAM Funds, collectively entered into an agreement which enables
them to participate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit with several
banks. Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of
capital shares. Interest is charged to each participating portfolio based on its
borrowings at

a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. In addition, a
commitment fee of 0.09% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter,
is accrued by each participating portfolio based on its average daily unused
portion of the line of credit. During the year ended October 31, 2000, the
Portfolios had no borrowings under the agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
UAM Funds, Inc. and Shareholders of
DSI Small Cap Value Portfolio
DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio
DSI Balanced Portfolio
DSI Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio
DSI Money Market Portfolio

     In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DSI Small Cap Value
Portfolio, DSI Disciplined Value Portfolio, DSI Balanced Portfolio, DSI Limited
Maturity Bond Portfolio and DSI Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolios"), each
a portfolio of UAM Funds, Inc., at October 31, 2000, and the results of each of
their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial
highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements
and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are
the responsibility of the Portfolios' management; our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation
of securities at October 31, 2000 by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
