November 10, 2000

Dear Shareholder:

The following report provides a detailed  description of the securities held and
statement of operations for the C & B Equity Portfolio for Taxable Investors for
the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2000.

For this period,  the C & B Taxable Equity Investors  outperformed its benchmark
index,  the S&P 500.  Over this period,  the C & B Equity  Portfolio for Taxable
Investors  returned  20.32%  versus  the S&P 500 being up 6.09%.  Given  Cooke &
Bieler's "high quality,  low risk"  approach,  these results are consistent with
the expectations of the Cooke & Bieler style outperforming in a "flat" market.

As of October 31, 2000,  common stocks  represented  95% of the portfolio,  with
cash reserves being 5%.

The period ended October 31, 2000 was attractive for Cooke & Bieler's  "relative
value" style since the S&P 500 Index's  performance  was negatively  impacted by
the technology  sector.  Cooke & Bieler has been cautious with technology stocks
due to the high risk, extended valuations in this category.

Cooke & Bieler  continues  to employ an  investment  process  that we believe is
designed  to  produce  above  average,   after  tax,  long-term  results,   with
particularly  strong  relative  results  in flat and down  markets.  The  strong
fundamental  characteristics of companies held in the C & B Equity Portfolio for
Taxable  Investors should help to provide this downside  protection.  These high
quality  characteristics,  as compared to the S&P 500, include (1) balance sheet
strength  measured by a relatively low debt to capital ratio, (2) high levels of
return on equity and return on capital,  (3)  consistent  growth in earnings and
dividends, and (4) use of excess cash flow to repurchase stock.

Sincerely,


/s/ SAMUEL H. BALLAM, III

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.

                      Definition of the Comparative Index
                      -----------------------------------

S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index comprised of stocks  representing major U.S.
market  industries,  including 400 industrial  stocks,  40 financial  stocks, 40
utility stocks and 20 transportation stocks.

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.

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

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 C & B Equity Portfolio for Taxable Investors (the "Portfolio"), a
portfolio of UAM Funds, Inc., is a diversified, open-end management investment
company. At October 31, 2000, the UAM Funds were comprised of 49 active
portfolios. The information presented in the financial statements pertains only
to the Portfolio. The objective of the Portfolio is to provide maximum long-
term, after tax total return consistent with minimizing risk to principal.

A. Significant Accounting Policies: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the
Portfolio in the preparation of its 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. 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 following
     procedures approved by the Board of Directors.

         2. Federal Income Taxes: It is the 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.

         3. Repurchase Agreements: In connection with transactions involving
     repurchase agreements, the Portfolio's 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 collateral is monitored on a daily basis to determine the
     adequacy of the collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to
     repurchase, the Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and
     apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the

                                       11

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

     obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty 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
     agreement. This joint repurchase agreement is covered by the same
     collateral requirements as discussed above.

         4. Distributions to Shareholders: The Portfolio will distribute
     substantially all of its 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 in the timing of the recognition of gains or losses
     on investments.

         Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
     distributions may result in reclassifications to undistributed net
     investment income (loss), accumulated gain (loss) and paid in capital.

         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.

         5. 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.
     Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Most expenses of the
     UAM Funds can be directly attributed to a particular portfolio. Expenses
     that cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the portfolios of
     the UAM Funds based on their relative net assets. Custodian fees for the
     Portfolio are shown gross of expense offsets, if any, for custodian balance
     credits.

agreement, Cooke & Bieler, Inc. (the "Adviser"), a subsidiary of United Asset
Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment advisory services to the
Portfolio at a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.625% of average daily net
assets. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its advisory
fees and to assume expenses, if necessary, in order to keep the Portfolio's
total annual operating expenses, after the effect of expense offset
arrangements, from exceeding 1.00% of average daily net assets. 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 Portfolio under a Fund Administration Agreement (the
"Agreement"). The Administrator has entered into separate Service Agreements
with SEI Investments 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 Portfolio.

     Pursuant to the Agreement, the Portfolio pays the Administrator 0.073% per
annum of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio, an annual base fee of no
more than $72,500 and a fee based on the number of active shareholder accounts.

     For the year ended October 31, 2000, the Administrator was paid $77,340, of
which $36,086 was paid to SEI for their services, $14,723 to DST for their
services, and $8,794 to UAMSSC for their services.

     D. Custodian: The Chase Manhattan Bank is custodian for the Portfolio's
assets held in accordance with the custodian agreement.

     E. Distribution Services: UAM Fund Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor"),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, distributes the shares of the Portfolio. The
Distributor does not receive any fee or other compensation with respect to the
Portfolio.

     F. Directors' Fees: Each Director, who is not an officer or affiliated

other than long-term U.S. Government and short-term securities. There were no
purchases or sales of long-term U.S. Government securities.

     H. Line of Credit: The Portfolio, 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 Portfolio had no borrowings under the agreement.

     I. Other: At October 31, 2000, 76% of total shares outstanding were held by
3 record shareholders each owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares
outstanding.

     The Portfolio retains a redemption fee of 1.00% on redemptions of capital
shares held for less than 1 year in the Portfolio. For the year ended October
31, 2000, there were $1,250 in redemption fees retained.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
UAM Funds, Inc. and Shareholders of
C & B Equity Portfolio for Taxable Investors

     In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio 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 the C & B Equity Portfolio for
Taxable Investors (the "Portfolio"), a portfolio of UAM Funds, Inc., at October
31, 2000, and the results of its operations, the changes in its 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 Portfolio's 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, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
