NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION

The Lake Forest Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment
company. The Trust was established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and
Declaration of Trust dated November 23, 1994 (the "Trust Agreement"). The Trust
Agreement permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of
beneficial interest of separate series without par value. Shares of two series
have been authorized, which shares constitute the interests in Lake Forest Core
Equity Fund ("the Equity Fund") and Lake Forest Money Market Fund (the "Money
Market Fund"). The investment objective of the Equity Fund is to provide
long-term capital appreciation together with current income. The investment
objective of the Money Market Fund is to provide the highest level of current
income consistent with liquidity and security of principal.

NOTE 2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of its financial statements.

         SECURITY  VALUATION - Securities which are traded on any exchange or on
the NASDAQ  over-the-counter  market are valued at the last  quoted  sale price.
Lacking a last sale  price,  a security  is valued at its last bid price  except
when the last bid price does not  accurately  reflect the  current  value of the
security. All other securities for which over-the-counter  market quotations are
readily available are valued at their last bid price. When market quotations are
not readily  available,  when it is determined  that the last bid price does not
accurately  reflect the current value or when  restricted  securities  are being
valued,  such  securities  are valued as  determined  in good faith by a pricing
committee, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the
Board of Trustees of the Trust.


         Fixed  income   securities   generally   are  valued  by  using  market
quotations,  but may be valued on the  basis of  prices  furnished  by a pricing
service when the Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market
value of such securities.  A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing
techniques   based  on  yield  spreads   relating  to  securities  with  similar
characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size  trading units
of debt  securities  without  regard to sale or bid prices.  When prices are not
readily  available  from a  pricing  service,  or when  restricted  or  illiquid
securities  are being valued,  securities are valued at fair value as determined
in good  faith  by a  pricing  committee,  subject  to  review  of the  Board of
Trustees.  Short term investments in fixed income  securities with maturities of
less than 60 days when  acquired,  or which  subsequently  are within 60 days of
maturity,  are valued  (except for the Money Market Fund) by using the amortized
cost method of valuation,  which the Board has  determined  will  represent fair
value.

         OPTIONS  TRANSACTIONS  - The Equity Fund may write covered put and call
options on  individual  securities,  write covered put and call options on stock
indices  traded  on  a  securities   exchange  and  engage  in  related  closing
transactions.  A put (call) option on a security is an agreement to buy (sell) a
particular  portfolio  security if the option is exercised at a specified price,
or before a set date.  An option on a stock  index gives the holder the right to
receive,  upon  exercising  the option,  a cash  settlement  amount based on the
difference  between the  exercise  price and the value of the  underlying  stock
index. To cover the potential obligations

security  (for a call option);  will  segregate  with the  Custodian  high grade
liquid debt  obligations  equal to the option exercise price (for a put option);
or (for an option on a stock  index)  will  either  hold a  portfolio  of stocks
substantially  replicating  the movement of the index or, to the extent the Fund
does not hold such a portfolio,  will  segregate  with the Custodian  high grade
liquid debt  obligations  equal to the market  value of the stock index  option,
marked to market  daily.  Risks  associated  with  writing  options  include the
possible  inability to effect closing  transactions  at favorable  prices and an
appreciation  limit on the securities set aside for  settlement,  as well as (in
the case of an option on a stock index) exposure to an indeterminate  liability.
There is no  assurance  of  liquidity  in the  secondary  market for purposes of
closing out option  positions.  Also,  the Equity Fund may purchase put and call
options on individual securities and on stock indices for the purpose of hedging
against the risk of unfavorable price movements adversely affecting the value of
the Fund's  securities  the Fund  intends to buy. The Fund may also sell put and
call options in closing transactions.

         Premiums  received from put or call options  written are recorded as an
asset  with  an  equal  liability  which  is  marked-to-market  daily  with  any
difference  between the option's  current  market  value and  premiums  received
recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. If the option is not exercised, premiums
received  are  realized as a gain at the  expiration  date.  If the  position is
closed  prior  to  expiration,  a gain or loss is  realized  based  on  premiums
received less the cost of the closing transaction.  When an option is exercised,
premiums  received  are added to the  proceeds  from the sale of the  underlying
securities and a gain or loss is realized accordingly.

         Put and call options  purchased are accounted for in the same manner as
portfolio  securities.  The cost of securities  acquired through the exercise of
call options is increased by premiums  paid. The proceeds from  securities  sold
through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid.

         FEDERAL  INCOME  TAXES - Each Fund  intends to  qualify  each year as a
"regulated  investment  company"  under the Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as
amended. By so qualifying, a Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to
the extent that it distributes  substantially  all of its net investment  income
and any realized capital gains.

         DIVIDENDS  AND   DISTRIBUTIONS   -  Each  Fund  intends  to  distribute
substantially all of its net investment income as dividends to its shareholders.
The Equity Fund intends to declare and pay dividends on a quarterly  basis,  and
the Money Market Fund intends to declare  dividends  daily and pay them monthly.
Each Fund intends to  distribute  its net long term capital gain at least once a
year and its net short term capital gains at least once a year.

         OTHER - Each  Fund  follows  industry  practice  and  records  security
transactions on the trade date. The specific  identification  method is used for
determining  gains or losses for financial  statements  and income tax purposes.
Dividend  income is  recorded on the  ex-dividend  date and  interest  income is
recorded on an accrued basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are
amortized over the life of the respective securities.


         ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial  statements in conformity with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements

and the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

         The Trust has an investment advisory agreement with Boberski & Company.
Under the terms of the  management  agreement,  the  Adviser  manages the Fund's
investments  subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees and pays all of
the  operating  expenses  of the Fund  except  brokerage,  taxes,  interest  and
extraordinary  expenses.  The Funds are  responsible  for  payment  of  expenses
incurred in connection with the organization  and initial  registration of their
shares.  As  compensation  for its management  services and agreement to pay the
Funds'  expenses,  the Funds are obligated to pay the Adviser a fee computed and
accrued  daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average  daily
net assets of the Equity  Fund and .50% of the  average  daily net assets of the
Money  Market  Fund.  The Adviser has agreed to cap the fee for the Money Market
Fund at 0.125% at least  through  the  period  ended  August 31,  1997.  In this
regard,  it  should  be noted  that  most  investment  companies  pay  their own
operating expenses  directly,  while each Fund's expenses except those specified
above are paid by the Adviser.

         The  Adviser  may waive all or part of its fee,  at any time and at its
sole  discretion,  but such action  shall not  obligate the Adviser to waive any
fees in the  future.  For the period  ended  August 31,  1997,  the  Adviser has
received a fee of $20,399  from the Core  Equity  Fund and $3,282 from the Money
Market Fund.
