November 10, 2000

Dear Shareholder:

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

For this period, the C & B Equity Portfolio outperformed its benchmark index,
the S&P 500 Index. Over this period, the C & B Equity Portfolio returned 10.89%
versus 6.09% for the S&P 500. 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.

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.

As of October 31, 2000, common stocks represented 92% of the portfolio, with
cash reserves being 8%.

Cooke & Bieler continues to employ an investment process that we believe is
designed to produce above average long-term results, with particularly strong
relative results in flat and down markets. The strong fundamental
characteristics of the companies held in the C & B Equity Portfolio should help
to provide this downside protection. These high quality characteristics, as
compared to the S&P 500 Index, 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 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.

UAM FUNDS                                                 C & B EQUITY PORTFOLIO

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     UAM Funds, Inc., UAM Funds, Inc. II and UAM Trust Funds (collectively the
"UAM Funds") are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The C & B Equity Portfolio (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 total return with
minimal 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

UAM FUNDS                                                 C & B EQUITY PORTFOLIO

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

     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.

     B. Investment Advisory Services: Under the terms of an investment advisory
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
$72,500, and a fee based on the number of active shareholder accounts.

     For the year ended October 31, 2000, the Administrator was paid $118,159,
of which $50,070 was paid to SEI for their services, $17,347 to DST for their
services, and $11,610 to UAMSSC for their services.

     D. Custodian: The Chase Manhattan Bank is custodian for the Portfolio's
assets and the assets are 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
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. Purchases and Sales: For the year ended October 31, 2000, the Portfolio
made purchases of $22,713,420 and sales of $62,359,545 of investment securities
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, 69% of total shares outstanding were held by
3 record shareholders each owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares
outstanding.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

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

     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 C & B Equity Portfolio (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.
