INVESTMENT REVIEW PENN CAPITAL STRATEGIC HIGH YIELD BOND FUND--FIRST QUARTER 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PORTFOLIO OBJECTIVE The Penn Capital Strategic High Yield Bond Fund seeks to maximize income through high current yield and, as a secondary objective, to produce above average capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of high yield bonds and other high yield instruments. MARKET REVIEW The high yield bond market continued its recovery in Q1 of 2002 due to evidence of a strengthening economy, strong inflows into the high yield sector, and two consecutive monthly declines in the 12-month trailing default rate. The Fund has outperformed the CSFB High Yield Index in four out of the last six months due to greater confidence in the credit-worthiness of high yield issues rated B and below. This confidence has firmed up prices, allowing investors to realize the full yield potential, as well as capital appreciation. The cash pay portion of the Active high yield portfolio outperformed slightly over the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Non-cash pay securities still proved volatile as they took their cues from equity market performance. Penn's defaulted positions outperformed the benchmark as Chiquita Brands, Inc. emerged from bankruptcy protection. Penn believes the Fund will take advantage of tremendous yield opportunity within the B and CCC rated sectors of the high yield bond market as the default rate declines and the economy slowly improves. Current yields in these sectors range from 15% to 30%, compared to 7% to 10% yields in the BB sector. In general, the high yield bond market has acted as a leading indicator of economic shifts over the last 20 years and has been pricing the current recession since the end of 1999. Overall, we believe high yield spreads will contract over 250 basis points in 2002 as the high yield market continues to price in the economic recovery. Sincerely, /s/Richard A. Hocker Richard A.

SECURITY VALUATION -- Investments in equity securities which are traded on a national exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market system) are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such equity securities on each business day; other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the most recently quoted bid price. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. Subject to the foregoing, other securities for which quotations are not readily available or securities whose market quotations do not reflect market value, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. As of March 31, 2002, Jones International Networks (Common Stock) is being valued under this method. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- It is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the appropriate provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME -- Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Income from payment-in-kind and step-up bonds is recorded based on the effective interest method. The cost of these securities has been adjusted to reflect in-kind interest income. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold during the respective holding period. NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE -- The net asset value per share of the Fund is calculated on each business day, by dividing the total value of the Fund's assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. 11 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) PENN CAPITAL FUNDS March 31, 2002 (Unaudited) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the custodian bank until the respective agreements mature. Provisions of the repurchase agreements ensure that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is at least 102%. In the event of default of the counterparty and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. EXPENSES -- Expenses that are directly related to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to the Fund on the basis of relative daily net assets. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly to Shareholders. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities are distributed to Shareholders at least annually. Distributions from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations. Certain book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in-capital or accumulated net realized gain, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS -- The Funds implemented the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Guide "Audit of Investment Companies" (the "Guide") as required on October 1, 2001. The implementation did not have any material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Funds upon adoption of the provisions of the Guide. 3. ORGANIZATION COSTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES: Organization costs have been capitalized by the Fund and are being amortized over a period of sixty months. In the event any of the initial shares of the Fund are redeemed by any holder thereof during the period that such Fund is amortizing its organizational costs, the redemption proceeds payable to the holder thereof by the Fund will be reduced by the unamortized organizational costs in the same ratio as the number of initial shares outstanding at the time of redemption. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of SEI Investments Mutual Funds Services (the "Administrator") and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the "Distributor"). Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers and trustees of the Trust. 12 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) PENN CAPITAL FUNDS March 31, 2002 (Unaudited) 4.

The Fund is subject to a minimum annual fee of $65,000 for the first class of shares and $15,000 for each additional class of shares, which may be reduced at the sole discretion of the Administrator. DST Systems, Inc., serves as the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund under a transfer agency agreement with the Trust. The Trust and the Distributor are parties to a Distribution Agreement dated April 28, 1996. The Distributor receives no fees for its distribution services under this agreement. 5. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT: For its services, Penn Capital Management Company, Inc. (the "Adviser") is entitled to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of .55% of the average daily net assets of the Strategic High Yield Bond Fund. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of its fee and to reimburse expenses of the Strategic High Yield Bond Fund in order to limit its total operating expenses (as a percentage of average daily net assets on an annualized basis) to not more than .68%. The Adviser reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate these voluntary fee waivers and reimbursements at any time. 6.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Strategic High Yield Bond Fund invests primarily in fixed income securities that are not rated or that are rated below investment grade (I.E., Ba1 or lower rating by Moody's and/or BB+ or lower by S&P), including securities of issuers subject to proceedings under the Federal Bankruptcy Code. The market for such securities is relatively inefficient due to its complexity and the limited availability of information on such securities. 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT The investment advisory agreement between the Turner Funds, on behalf of the Penn Capital Strategic High Yield Fund (the "Fund"), and Penn Capital Management Company, Inc., will expire by its terms at the close of business on April 30, 2002. The Board has scheduled a meeting to consider a temporary appointment of Turner Investment Partners, Inc. as the Fund's new adviser, pending shareholder approval. 14 NOTES TRUST Turner Funds P.O.
