                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                OCTOBER 31, 1996
 
(1) ORGANIZATION
 
     Cranbrook Money Market Fund and Cranbrook Treasury Fund are separate series
of Cranbrook Funds (the "Fund"), which is an unincorporated business trust
organized under Massachusetts law on November 30, 1994 and which commenced
operations on March 1, 1995. Each Portfolio of the Fund is an open-end,
diversified management investment company and the Fund is registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act").
 
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed
by the Fund.
 
     Investments
 
     Each Fund utilizes the amortized cost method to determine the carrying
value of investment securities. Under this method, investment securities are
valued for both financial reporting and Federal tax purposes at cost and any
discount or premium is amortized from the date of acquisition to maturity. The
use of this method results in a carrying value which approximates market value,
which is determined based upon quoted market prices or dealer quotes.
 
     Investment security purchases and sales are accounted for on a trade date
basis.
 
     The Fund invests in securities subject to repurchase agreements. Such
transactions are entered into only with institutions included on the Federal
Reserve System's list of institutions with whom the Federal Reserve open market
desk conducts business. The investment advisor, Cranbrook Capital Management
Inc. (CCM), acting under the supervision of the Trustees, has established the
following additional policies and procedures relating to the Fund's investments
in securities subject to repurchase agreements: 1) the value of the underlying
collateral is required to equal or exceed 102% of the funds advanced under the
repurchase agreement including accrued interest; 2) collateral is marked to
market daily by CCM to assure its value remains at least equal to 102% of the
repurchase agreement amount; and 3) funds are not disbursed by the Fund or its
agent unless collateral is presented or acknowledged by a Federal Reserve book
entry.
 
     Use of Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions about amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ.
 
     Investment Income
 
     Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis adjusted for
amortization of premium and accretion of discount.
 
     Federal Income Taxes
 
     It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income
tax provision is required in the accompanying financial statements.
 
     Shareholder Dividends
 
     On each business day the New York Stock Exchange is open, each Fund's net
investment income is declared at the close of the Exchange as a daily dividend
to shareholders of record prior to such close.

                                CRANBROOK FUNDS
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                OCTOBER 31, 1996
                                  (CONTINUED)
 
     Each Fund calculates its dividends based on its daily net investment
income. For this purpose, the net investment income of a Fund consists of (1)
accrued interest income plus or minus amortized purchase discount or premium,
(2) plus or minus all realized gains and losses on disposition of Fund assets
and (3) minus accrued expenses allocated to that Fund. Expenses of the Fund are
accrued daily.
 
     Expenses
 
     Expenses (including management fees -- see Note 3) are charged to income
daily as a percentage of the respective Fund's net assets. The following is a
summary of expense rates in effect during the period:
 
<TABLE>

                     MONEY MARKET FUND       TREASURY FUND
 EFFECTIVE DATE         ANNUAL RATE           ANNUAL RATE

<S>                  <C>                   <C>
November 1, 1995           .705%                 .705%
December 6, 1995           .685%                 .735%
October 7, 1996            .705%                 .765%
</TABLE>
 
     The Fund monitors the rate at which expenses are charged to ensure that a
proper amount of expense is charged to income each year. This percentage is
subject to revision if there is a change in the estimate of the future net
assets of the Funds or a change in expectations as to the level of actual
expenses.
 
(3) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
     First of Michigan Corporation (FoM) is the Administrator of the Fund and
underwriter and distributor of its shares. Pursuant to the Administration and
Distribution Agreement dated December 15, 1994, the Fund pays FoM a fee for
services performed and facilities furnished by FoM. Fees are computed daily and
payable monthly at an annual rate of .25% of the Fund's first $500 million of
average net assets; .225% of the next $500 million of average net assets; and
 .20% of average net assets in excess of $1 billion.
 
     CCM is the investment advisor and portfolio manager pursuant to the
Advisory Agreement dated December 15, 1994. For such services the Fund pays CCM
a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of .225% of the
Fund's first $500 million of average net assets; and .20% of average net assets
in excess of $500 million.
 
     Certain states in which shares of the Fund are offered may impose an
expense limitation based upon net assets. CCM and FoM have agreed that they will
each reimburse the Fund in equal amounts such portions of the above fees as may
be required to satisfy any expense limitations imposed. No such reimbursement
was required for the year ended October 31, 1996.
 
     Pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, for the year ended October 31,
1996, FoM earned $1,079,045 and $153,260 and CCM earned $971,127 and $137,932 in
fees for the Money Market Fund and the Treasury Fund, respectively, under the
Administration and Distribution Agreement and Advisory Agreement.
 
     FoM was also compensated for its services as the Fund's Transfer and
Dividend Distribution Agent. FoM is also reimbursed for certain out of pocket
expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 1996,
the Money Market Fund and the Treasury Fund incurred expenses of $460,552 and
$27,458, respectively, for the above service fees and out of pocket expenses of
FoM.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
TO THE TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF CRANBROOK FUNDS
 
     We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments of the Cranbrook Funds, comprised of the
Cranbrook Money Market Fund and the Cranbrook Treasury Fund, as of October 31,
1996, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net
assets and the financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
October 31, 1996, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
each of the Funds comprised of the Cranbrook Funds as of October 31, 1996 and
the results of their operations and the changes in their net assets and the
financial highlights for the periods referred to above in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
