DATE OF INTERVIEW: 11/15/06
WITH: Staley Cates
Note: Because Longleaf Partners Small-Cap has been closed for some time, and because Longleaf Partners is in our model portfolios, most of the material in our fund updates will relate to Longleaf Partners. To the extent that there are significant or particularly interesting developments in Longleaf Small-Cap, we will address them on an as-needed basis.
     Longleaf has never been a company that shies away from names just because they’re controversial. These names are always at the forefront of investors’ thoughts when the stocks are doing poorly, often resulting in uncertainty about whether the fund manager has lost his or her mind. These names tend to fade away from the conversation after the worst is behind them and the stock begins to recover, so in this fund update we’d like to highlight one stock that appears to be just such a success story: Level 3 Communications, one of the country’s largest communications and Internet backbone providers. Level 3’s stock gained more than 20% in the third quarter, and as of this writing is up more than 80% for the year.
     Longleaf first started investing in Level 3 in the third quarter of 2001 when investors were still reeling from the initial bursting of the tech bubble. At the time, Level 3 appeared to be on the brink of disaster, with massive industry overcapacity, many of its dot-com customers disappearing from existence, and serious questions about the company’s ability to service its debt. Cates recalls that “people were saying ‘Longleaf doesn’t know what they’re doing; they’re outside their circle of competence.’ People were mad because Longleaf always talks about business, people, and price . . . and then we go and buy a business that looks way overleveraged. Also, at the time there was a lot of negative talk going around about the character of the management. And finally, people were saying the company was impossible to value.”
     But Cates and the team had what they believed were good answers for all of those questions. “This is a vital commodity in the telecom world, part of the Internet backbone. It’s not going anywhere. And the only thing that matters in a commodity business is being the low-cost producer.” Level 3 was—and is—that low-cost producer, because of management’s “tremendous understanding of how to design and build the most efficient network.” This network not only lowers their cost of doing business, but also enables Level 3 to quickly and profitably integrate the companies it acquires; after making an acquisition, they simply move the newly acquired customers onto the existing Level 3 network, then shut down the acquired network, along with its associated costs. Effectively, this hugely increases revenues via unit growth, but with very little impact on marginal costs. None of this is new news; it’s all been part of the long-term strategy that Chairman Walter Scott and CEO Jim Crowe have had in place for years.
     With regards to the aspersions cast against these men, Cates says it was predominantly perpetrated by the huge volume of people (hedge fund managers, for example) who had short positions in the stock and were doing everything they could to create negative sentiment. Cates and the Longleaf crew had plenty of concrete reasons to believe otherwise, and felt that Scott and Crowe were incredibly high-quality, high-integrity people.
     The naysayer argument about debt levels and valuations may have been more valid, but Longleaf had a way of dealing with that as well: they purchased Level 3’s corporate bonds for 35 cents on the dollar, with a yield to maturity of 30% (those bonds are trading at 105 today). They later invested in a

private placement of convertible preferred debt as well. The logic at the time was that the company had plenty of real assets (metro loops and co-location facilities), and Longleaf’s investments were high enough in the capital structure that even if the company had to shut down, they’d still get a meaningful amount of their investment back, and in the meantime they were getting paid a huge coupon while they waited to see how things would play out. It wasn’t until 2003 that they actually owned Level 3 stock—they exchanged their convertible notes for the equity—at which time the company had made some significant improvements and the Longleaf team believed the stock was undervalued. Cates is quick to acknowledge that they didn’t have “a finely tuned value per share” like they normally do; there were enough uncertainties in the industry that they instead came up with a range of values, and even within that context, they felt it was a good time to buy the stock.
     The stock has had its ups and downs since then, but the fundamental story has improved sufficiently that the negative sentiment is far less than before. Pricing declines have slowed, operating cash flow has grown, and the company has made several successful acquisitions. “Wall Street is finally seeing gigantic, sequential, organic growth,” says Cates, so the buzz surrounding the stock is far better than it once was, and investors are now able to see Level 3 as the major industry consolidator that it is. And because their network is already built out, Level 3 has little in the way of capital expenses or marginal costs, and can therefore use its cash flow for making additional acquisitions. With the stock moving up, “the short sellers are now on the ropes,” and Cates believes the stock is still undervalued at its current price (just over $5 per share as of this writing).

Litman/Gregory Opinion
     After a mildly rough patch this summer, Longleaf Partners has been on a tear, and is now up 22.5% in 2006 (as of 11/30), besting the Russell 1000 Value iShares’ 19.3% gain. Southeastern Asset Management (the fund’s advisor) is concerned with absolute performance, not relative performance, and as such pays no attention to what its portfolio looks like versus a benchmark, and their funds are highly concentrated, so extended periods of poor or strong relative performance are to be expected. For example, Partners underperformed in the 2004 to 2005 period, as well as 1995 to 1999, but had very strong runs in 1991 to 1994 and 2000 to 2003. As long-term investors, our primary concern is how the fund does over extended time frames, and over rolling five-year periods Longleaf Partners has beaten the benchmark more than 80% of the time. The magnitude of outperformance over the last five, 10, and 15 years is impressive, outperforming the Russell 1000 Value iShares by between 200 and 250 basis points annualized, and with less downside risk.
     We continue to have a very high opinion of Longleaf. The depth of their research and analytical skill is outstanding and clearly among the best in the business, and their well-executed and highly disciplined approach has proven itself to be successful over the course of many years. The team puts a great deal of thought into its decisions, and few actions are taken without significant deliberation. The Partners and Small-Cap funds’ very reasonable expense ratios are also a plus. Southeastern has been building up its analyst team recently; we have yet to speak with many of the newer members, but spent roughly two hours interviewing Jason Dunn earlier this year. Dunn has been rising though the team’s ranks since 1997, and we were very impressed with him. We have a solid understanding of how Southeastern finds and trains its analysts, and are not concerned about the team’s growth.
     As we have mentioned before, Southeastern’s large asset base is one of the few potential

downsides we see with their funds, specifically Longleaf Partners and Small Cap. We believe that the firm strives to act in its shareholders’ best interests (the employees and affiliates of the firm are also the largest shareholders of the funds), and we have no doubts about their integrity, but at close to $30 billion in mid/large-cap domestic equities, we think this asset base may be a headwind for them going forward. We have discussed this subject with them many times over the years, and our observation is that while their size is not a problem with many stocks, there have been instances where it clearly worked against them. To help mitigate some of the associated problems, Longleaf has closed both the Partners and Small-Cap funds (the latter has been closed for quite a while), and they have no intention of reopening Partners unless it would substantially benefit shareholders.
     The upside of this large asset base is that Southeastern is able to engage in various forms of shareholder activism when something is going awry with one of the funds’ investments, effectively giving them more control over their own destiny than would otherwise be the case. We have discussed several examples of this with them in recent years, and while they clearly prefer to invest in businesses with strong management teams, they have made mistakes, and having the skill and clout to engage in shareholder activism represents a competitive advantage in such instances.
     Though closed to new investors, Longleaf Partners remains one of our favorite funds in the Larger-Cap Value category, along with Oakmark Select (which like Longleaf is Highly Recommended) and Oakmark (Recommended). Although Longleaf Small-Cap is also closed to new investors, we recommend it in the Smaller-Cap Value category for current shareholders who have access. l

Comment: “The market’s movement hasn’t really impacted our selection of investment over the quarter because we buy things based on bottom-up stock picking,” says Lee Harper, a Southeastern Asset Management vice president. That is, the fund looks for stocks selling for no more than 60% of their “intrinsic” value as calculated by the fund. “We look for a combination of good business run by good people selling at good prices.” The fund is closed to new investors.

Longleaf Partners LLPFX   Analyst Report
by Gregg Wolper
Morningstar’s Take 03-26-07
Longleaf Partners’ excellent recent results aren’t the main reason we consider it a top-notch choice for the long haul.
This venerable offering with its long-tenured managers has been a stellar fund for a long, long time. But with a strict-value approach, a concentrated portfolio, and a disdain for hot trends and index weightings, managers Mason Hawkins and Staley Cates don’t necessarily win out— or even beat the S&P 500—in years when the overall market is enjoying a solid rally. But the fund did do that in 2006. Buoyed by sharp gains in a wide variety of holdings, the fund posted a 21.6% return, putting it in the top 2% of the large-blend category. (It would have ranked just a bit lower in the large-value group.) Some of its best performers, such as Comcast CMCSA and General Motors GM, had been unpopular just a couple of years earlier, but the managers stuck with them and reaped the rewards. In recognition of their 2006 showing, long-term success, and consistent, sound approach, Hawkins and Cates were named Morningstar’s 2006 Domestic-Fund Managers of the Year.
Cates says there have been few changes to the portfolio. That’s not surprising, for very low turnover is one of this fund’s hallmarks. Thus, the managers remain enthusiastic about top-holding Dell DELL—a big loser in 2006 and so far in 2007—even after the departure of CEO Kevin Rollins, in whom Hawkins and Cates had expressed confidence last fall. Cates says Michael Dell is reason enough to keep faith in management, and the managers think the firm is well placed for recovery in other ways, too. And they’ve added to Chesapeake Energy CHK; Cates expresses great confidence in that firm’s management and likes that it focuses on natural gas, which is tougher to transport over long distances than is oil.
Although new investors can’t get into this closed fund, shareholders should be happy they’re in and stick with it.

Morningstar Rating
¬¬¬¬¬
þ Analyst Pick
Stewardship Grade
This fund’s managers take their fiduciary duties seriously.
Kudos
Strong long-term performance.
Reasonable costs.
Shareholder-focused fund family.
Consistent approach.
Risks
Concentrated portfolio can expose the fund to substantial short-term swings in value.
Typically does not hold much in expensive sectors. That limits the fund’s volatility, but it can hurt its relative rank when those sectors shine.
Often buys troubled companies, exposing the fund to the risk that the firm won’t be able to turn things around.
Strategy
This fund takes value seriously. Its comanagers look for companies that trade at discounts of 40% or more to the team’s estimates of their intrinsic value, using discounted cash-flow analysis, asset values, or sales of comparable firms to determine the latter. The managers place much importance on the ability of a company’s management to run the business on an operational level and to effectively allocate capital. They aren’t afraid to take sizable positions, and the fund typically holds 20-25 names. The turnover rate is typically very low.
Management
Mason Hawkins and Staley Cates of Southeastern Asset Management have been at the helm since 1987 and 1994, respectively. They also run Longleaf Partners Small-Cap LLSCX and, along with a different manager, Longleaf Partners International LLINX. John Buford was named comanager of this fund in 1999 but stepped down at the close of 2005 to enter a seminary. Hawkins and Cates work with a small team of in-house analysts. The team members keep all of their own invested assets in this fund and its siblings.
Inside Scoop
This find uses an extremely strict value discipline, and cash can build as valuations rise. Its portfolio is concentrated, but cash and attention to value help cut volatility. It is closed to new investors.
Role in Portfolio
Supporting Player. The fund could be a core holding for investors with long-term horizons. However, it does not offer broad market exposure.

Longleaf Partners Fund
closed to new investors
PHILOSOPHY
The Fund seeks to achieve superior long-term performance by acquiring equity securities of competitively entrenched, financially strong, well-managed companies run by capable managements at market prices significantly below our assessment of their business value, and selling these stocks when they approach our appraisal. We view equity investments as ownership in a business enterprise. We determine business or intrinsic value through financial analysis and established disciplines which we have consistently applied over 32 years. Equities purchased at prices substantially less than their intrinsic worth should protect capital from significant loss and should also appreciate substantially when the market ultimately recognizes corporate value.
OBJECTIVE/POLICY STATEMENT
Longleaf Partners Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in a limited number of mid and large cap companies believed to be significantly undervalued.

Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Please call 1-800-445-9469 or view Longleaf’s website (www.longleafpartners.com) for more current performance information and for a copy of the current Prospectus, which should be read carefully for a discussion of investment objectives, management fees, expenses, and risks. Fund returns and those of the unmanaged Russell 2000 Index include reinvested dividends and distributions. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics compiles the monthly CPI-U values used to calculate inflation. Past performance (before and after taxes) is no guarantee of future performance, fund prices fluctuate and the value of an investment at redemption may be more or less than purchase price. The Fund’s Trustees may impose a redemption fee (payable to the Fund) for short term trades if they believe it necessary to deter market timing.

Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund
closed to new investors
PHILOSOPHY
The Fund seeks to achieve superior long-term performance by acquiring equity securities of competitively entrenched, financially strong, well-managed companies run by capable managements at market prices significantly below our assessment of their business value, and selling these stocks when they approach our appraisal. We view equity investments as ownership in a business enterprise. We determine business or intrinsic value through financial analysis and established disciplines which we have consistently applied over 32 years. Equities purchased at prices substantially less than their intrinsic worth should protect capital from significant loss and should also appreciate substantially when the market ultimately recognizes corporate value.
OBJECTIVE/POLICY STATEMENT
Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in a limited number of small companies believed to be significantly undervalued.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
Superior long term investment performance can be achieved when financially strong, well managed companies are bought at prices significantly below their business value and sold when they approach corporate worth.
  §   Stocks represent ownership in a business enterprise.
 
  §   Every business enterprise has a value.
 
  §   With analytical work corporate worth can be determined.
When we buy stocks at significant discounts to their corporate worth:
  §   It protects capital from significant loss over the long-term.
 
  §   It allows for large reward when the value is recognized.

Security Selection Criteria
(PIE CHART)

 


 

Investment = Safety of Principal + Adequate Return
(PERFORMANCE GRAPH)
Assumptions for Example Above: If we buy a business at 50% of appraisal, and the enterprise value grows at 12% per annum, and in the fifth year the stock price reaches its full appraisal, we will have compounded our investment 29% per year. Two-thirds of the return comes from closing the gap between price and value. This chart does not reflect the performance of any particular security.

INTERNATIONAL SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
Background
  o   Southeastern has owned both U.S. and overseas companies throughout the firm’s history.
 
  o   In the late 1990s portfolios held upto 30% of assets in foreign securities because U.S. stocks did not meet Southeastern’s required discount while non-U.S. opportunities were abundant.
 
  o   At the time, all accounts were U.S. mandates, and most clients limited overseas holdings.
 
  o   Because the employees of Southeastern wanted to take advantage of the compelling non-U.S. investments, we seeded Longleaf Partners International Fund in October 1998. We simultaneously offered comparable separate accounts.
Management of International Portfolios
  o   Southeastern has a single investment team that shares a common approach and is tasked with finding the best investment opportunities without regard to size, location or industry. The team collectively determines which names to hold in clients’ portfolios.
 
  o   International portfolios normally contain 18-20 securities.
 
  o   Country and industry weightings are a by-product of bottom up investment decisions.
 
  o   Portfolios contain not only companies headquartered outside of the U.S., but also U.S. domiciled companies with more than half of revenues, profits or appraised value derived from non-U.S. locations.
 
  o   Market caps are a by-product of bottom up investment decisions. Most names are at least $1 billion given the size of Southeastern’s asset base and the concentrated approach.
 
  o   Cash is a by-product of a lack of investment opportunities that meet Southeastern’s criteria. When we have not found stocks selling at the requisite discount for prolonged periods, cash has approached 30% of the portfolios for limited periods.
 
  o   For new accounts we do not hedge currency exposure and do not have a view on the direction of currency markets. We appraise businesses and leave decisions about hedging to our clients.
International Accounts as of 3/31/07
  o   14 accounts
 
  o   $4.9 billion in assets ($3.4 billion is Longleaf Partners International Fund)
 
  o   $50 million minimum account size
Fees
  o   150 basis points on the first $50 million
 
  o   125 basis points on $50 — $100 million
 
  o   100 basis points on all assets over $100 million

Cautionary Statement
One of Longleaf’s “Governing Principles” is that “we will communicate with our investment partners as candidly as possible,” because we believe our shareholders benefit from understanding our investment philosophy and approach. Our views and opinions regarding the investment prospects of our portfolio holdings and Funds are “forward looking statements” which may or may not be accurate over the long term. While we believe we have a reasonable basis for our appraisals and we have confidence in our opinions, actual results may differ materially from those we anticipate. Information provided in this report should not be considered a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular security.
You can identify forward looking statements by words like “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” or similar expressions when discussing prospects for particular portfolio holdings and/or one of the Funds. We cannot assure future results and achievements. You should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We disclaim any obligation to update or alter any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. This material must be preceded or accompanied by a Prospectus. Please read the Prospectus carefully for a discussion of fees, expenses, and risks. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted herein. You may obtain a current copy of the Prospectus or more current performance information by calling 1-800-445-9469 or at Longleaf’s website (www.longleafpartners.com).
The price-to-value ratio (“P/V”) is a calculation that compares the prices of the stocks in a portfolio to Southeastern’s appraisal of their intrinsic values. P/V represents a single data point about a Fund, and should not be construed as something more. We caution our shareholders not to give this calculation undue weight. P/V alone tells nothing about:
  The quality of the businesses we own or the managements that run them;
  The cash held in the portfolio and when that cash will be invested;
  The range or distribution of individual P/V’s that comprise the average; and
  The sources of and changes in the P/V.
When all of the above information is considered, the P/V is a useful tool to gauge the attractiveness of a Fund’s potential opportunity. It does not, however, tell when that opportunity will be realized, nor does it guarantee that any particular company’s price will ever reach its value. We remind our shareholders who want to find a single silver bullet of information that investments are rarely that simple. To the extent an investor considers P/V in assessing a Fund’s return opportunity, the limits of this tool should be considered along with other factors relevant to each investor.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:
We are pleased to report the results of the first quarter in which all three Longleaf Funds outpaced their respective indices, and Small-Cap and International also significantly outperformed our inflation plus 10% absolute annual return goal. More importantly, the long-term results since each of the three Funds opened are at or above both the absolute and relative benchmarks as shown in the cumulative returns below. The Small-Cap Fund’s 24.4% one year performance was highlighted in the Wall Street Journal’s “Winner’s Circle” as being among the top three U.S. diversified stock funds, larger than $50 million and at least three years old.1

In 1998, the EAFE was available at month-end only; therefore, the EAFE value at 10/31/98 was used to calculate performance since inception. Additional performance information for each Fund can be found on pages 8, 14, and 20.  
During the quarter we purchased two new qualifying ideas in the Small-Cap Fund and one in International. We were hopeful that the worldwide market declines in late February might linger and signal increasing volatility. The so-called “correction” was brief and somewhat slight, however, and yielded relatively little opportunity. Positive performance combined with few 60-cent dollar additions resulted in the price-to-value ratio of each Fund rising slightly during the quarter. The Partners Fund and International Fund have one new position’s worth of cash. While Small-Cap’s cash level is higher, several buy orders are waiting for prices to cooperate. An important characteristic of the three Funds is that most portfolio holdings embody growing, competitively entrenched businesses led by high quality management teams who are building value by operating

Longleaf Partners Funds
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
these companies well and allocating capital in a wise manner. While few names sell at a 40% discount to appraisal, the superior caliber of the Funds’ underlying businesses and management partners provides comfort that intrinsic values should build nicely for years to come.
In February, after seventeen years of dedicated service at Southeastern, C.T. Fitzpatrick decided to retire and move to Birmingham, AL to spend more time with his family and help manage their personal affairs. Many of you recall C.T. from his early days of being a generalist on the research team and working with clients. He then served as the lead manager on Longleaf Partners Realty Fund, which we liquidated in 2001. Since that time, C.T.’s primary role has been building and servicing client relationships. We are grateful to C.T. for the contribution he made to both our clients’ and our firm’s success.
Longleaf’s returns over the next thirty years have nothing to do with the returns of the past and everything to do with having an investment team of dedicated, bright minds capable of appraising businesses, assessing managements and adhering to the disciplines that have served Southeastern’s clients and Longleaf’s shareholders well for over three decades. To help ensure the sustainability of Southeastern’s and Longleaf’s successful history, we have spent much of the last several years building a third generation of investment analysts. The first step in this process actually began a decade ago when we hired Jason Dunn as a college intern. Though he is among our most senior analysts in tenure, his youth makes him a leader of this third generation.
To a person, our younger analytical partners are honorable, intelligent, passionate, team players who are in this business for all of the right reasons. Also, and most important from an investment standpoint, they are independent thinkers willing to make major investment commitments when their cases are adequately supported by the necessary qualitative and quantitative factors. Each possesses proven investment acumen.
At the Annual Shareholder Presentation in Memphis on May 14th we will introduce each of these important associates. We hope that many shareholders will attend to meet those who will help shape Longleaf’s future. For those who cannot attend, here are the highlights.
Jason Dunn, CFA, joined Southeastern in 1997 as a college intern. He graduated from Rhodes College in 1999. Jason’s contributions have been material to the Funds’ success and have included names such as ADP, Amdocs, Gulf Canada and Anderson Exploration. He currently covers some of the Funds’ major existing holdings and is an important new idea generator.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Ross Glotzbach, CFA, joined Southeastern in 2004. He previously worked as a corporate finance analyst at Stephens in Little Rock after interning in investment banking at Merrill Lynch. He graduated from Princeton University in 2003. We have never had a researcher make as much of an immediate impact as Ross has. Not only is he responsible for a couple of new names we have bought, but he also covers some existing holdings and has generated ideas that are currently “on deck.”
Lowry Howell, CFA, joined Southeastern at the outset of 2006. Lowry had been an analyst and principal at Flippin, Bruce & Porter in Lynchburg, VA from 2000-2005, and for the five previous years was an analyst in Memphis. He graduated from Rhodes College in 1995 and received a Masters in Accounting from Rhodes in 1996. In his first year at Southeastern, Lowry was our most productive analyst in terms of identifying big-cap “on deck” names. He has exceptional contrarian instincts including, prior to joining Southeastern, being one of the few analysts to recommend General Motors under $20. He has been very helpful in following that name as well as in generating new ones.
Ken Siazon joined Southeastern in mid-2006 and lives in Asia. He previously was an investment banker at Lehman Brothers from 1997-2006 and at J. P. Morgan from 1994-1997. Ken graduated from the University of Virginia in 1989 and received his Masters in Business Administration from Harvard in 1994. Upon his arrival at Southeastern, he successfully presented Cheung Kong to our investment committee, an investment that we are excited about in the International Fund. Ken works closely with Andrew McDermott following our Asian-based holdings and seeking new qualifying investments. In Ken’s previous job at Lehman in Asia he interacted with many management teams, thus adding a valuable background for our research in the region.
Scott Cobb joined Southeastern in October of 2006 and is based in our London office. Over the previous decade he managed a pool of family and friends’ money before forming a hedge fund to invest his personal assets. Scott graduated from the University of Memphis in 1997 and received a Masters in Theological Studies from Covenant Theological Seminary in 1999. Since Scott ran his own successful hedge fund before joining Southeastern, we were lucky to get him. He viewed the benefits of being part of our research team and having access to corporate managements as worth giving up portfolio management autonomy. Because we mandate that all employees limit equity ownership to only the Longleaf Funds, the conversion of Scott’s hedge fund holdings into Longleaf means that we have an accomplished researcher with “skin in the game” on day one. Scott is responsible for one of our newest international investments, EnCana.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Josh Shores joined Southeastern in April of 2007 after working for an investment firm in North Carolina. He graduated from the University of North Carolina in 2002. Interestingly, we knew about Josh before ever actually meeting him. Last summer he had written a piece that we circulated internally because it was so well done about Chesapeake Energy, a current Partners Fund holding. Only later did we discover that Scott had worked with Josh in North Carolina and could complete the picture of him as a potential hire. Josh is based in Memphis, but is focused primarily on international ideas.
Today we have the strongest collection of investment talent since Southeastern’s founding. We are convinced that this energized and committed team will deliver above average long-term returns.
Sincerely,

Partners Fund - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Longleaf Partners Fund gained 2.2%, outpacing the S&P 500 Index’s return of 0.6% in the first quarter, but falling short of the annualized rate of inflation plus 10%. The Fund’s longer term results over 10 and 15 years have markedly outpaced the benchmark and exceeded the absolute return goal. Recently Lipper ranked Longleaf Partners Fund the number one multi-cap value fund for the 15 year period ending 12/31/061. A difference in average annual returns of several hundred basis points may not sound dramatic, and in the short run, is not terribly meaningful. However, the cumulative effect over multiple years is huge and worth pointing out in the table below.

Level 3 was the largest contributor to the quarter’s results. The company’s competitive strength continued to grow as did its stock price. During the quarter we converted the 2011 notes into equity, receiving the full face value of all remaining interest payments as well as a premium for early conversion. Adept balance sheet management by the company has played an important role in the success of this investment.
Liberty Capital rose almost 13% in the first three months of 2007. The company’s exchange of News Corp shares for DIRECTV shares provided another example of John Malone’s prowess at growing shareholder value through both capital allocation and minimization of tax liabilities. DIRECTV represents the large majority of our appraisal of Liberty Capital. Early in the quarter DIRECTV shares were much more discounted via Liberty Capital than through direct ownership, and consequently, we sold some shares of DIRECTV, replacing them with Liberty Capital. All-in, DIRECTV is the Fund’s second largest commitment. Liberty Interactive also had a strong quarter, gaining 10%. QVC, which comprises most of the value within Liberty Interactive, grew its business as we expected, and its U.S. margins were particularly strong.
The Fund’s largest position, Dell, declined during the quarter. Kevin Rollins resigned and Michael Dell has taken the reins as CEO. Dell has brought in several new senior managers, is improving customer support, and is focused on restoring margins and sales growth to previous levels. While the outcome of the SEC’s investigation of Dell’s accounting is uncertain, we believe that the

Partners Fund - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
company’s competitive advantages remain in place, i.e. being the low cost provider via the direct sale model and having an entrenched distribution network with unique access to small and mid-sized customers. Even in what was arguably a bleak year, the company earned $3.7 billion in free cash flow and had margins, albeit depressed, that were higher than its competitors (in the case of HP, this excludes the printer cartridge business.) Our appraisal is significantly higher than the current price, and as the business improves and the company repurchases shares, Dell’s intrinsic value should grow meaningfully.
DIRECTV, one of the Fund’s best performers in 2006, gave back some gains in the first quarter. DIRECTV continued to add high-quality subscribers and realize excellent pricing. Our appraisal of the company grew, and we watched Chase Carey exhibit his commitment to building value by repurchasing a large number of shares as they became cheaper.
Relatively little activity occurred in the portfolio over the last three months – no names were added and none were deleted. We scaled back a few holdings that were approaching appraisal, and as a result, cash grew to 7.6%. The list of “on deck” names that are close to our required discount is small. We are not unhappy, however, to have some liquidity in the event that we see more volatility as we did briefly in February or find a qualifying anomaly. The Fund is reasonably priced with a price-to-value ratio (P/V) in the low-70%s, and owns a collection of companies with growing values. We are happy with the outlook for long-term compounding.

Small-Cap Fund - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund had an outstanding quarter. The Fund’s 7.4% return significantly outpaced the Russell 2000 Index’s 2.0% gain as well as the annual absolute return goal of inflation plus 10%. Although every quarter in the Small-Cap Fund’s history has not been as robust as the first three months of 2007, the Fund has consistently outperformed the benchmark as well as the absolute bogey over longer term periods.

Please see page 14 for additional performance information.
Most portfolio holdings contributed to the quarter’s results with a number of stocks rising over 10%. The top two performers were Discovery and Texas Industries. Discovery Holding Company bought Cox’s 25% ownership in Discovery Communications in exchange for cash and the Travel Channel, leaving only one remaining private holder of the Discovery-owned channels. The improved structure enhanced Wall Street’s view of the company. More importantly, viewership ratings have been strong in the first quarter. Texas Industries’ stock rose due in part to rock solid results, but also due to buy-outs at several cement and aggregates companies that traded at significantly higher multiples than those reflected in Texas Industries’ stock price.
IDT detracted from the Fund’s return, declining 13%. Fierce pricing competition among long distance calling card companies hurt margins. The company announced that it will use a large portion of its cash to pay a one-time special dividend.
During the quarter we sold two positions and began buying two, although thus far, prices have not enabled us to accumulate meaningful positions. In spite of our opposition to the sales price, Jacuzzi was bought by a private equity group. We sold Vail Resorts when the stock approached our appraisal.
The strong performance moved the price-to-value ratio (P/V) into the high-70%s. While we have several names that are close to our buy price, a couple of holdings are approaching 90% of appraisal. Cash levels rose slightly to 16% of the portfolio. We like the businesses that the Fund owns and believe that most of their values will appreciate at double-digit rates. We would, however, welcome more volatility, particularly among smaller size companies so that we could fill out several positions and find a few new ones. We would also caution Small-Cap shareholders that the returns of the next three years are unlikely to be as high as the previous three, based on the higher prices of companies in this universe.

International Fund - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Longleaf Partners International Fund gained 5.7% in the first quarter outperforming both the 4.1% gain for the MSCI EAFE Index and 3.7% for annualized inflation plus 10%. Since the Fund’s inception almost nine years ago, returns have bested both the absolute and relative benchmarks.

Please see page 20 for additional performance information.
Nikko Cordial, Japan’s third largest brokerage firm, contributed most to the quarter’s performance. The market’s overreaction to penalties imposed by the Japanese regulator, the FSA, upon Nikko Cordial in the fourth quarter of last year allowed us to rapidly accumulate a sizeable position in a company with a tarnished reputation, but with a pristine balance sheet and a valuable franchise. In March Citigroup made a bid for all of Nikko Cordial’s outstanding shares, and raised the bid after the announcement that the company’s shares would not be delisted. The revised offer of 1,700 yen per share remains below our appraisal, but represents a substantial premium to the Fund’s cost. Citigroup’s bid was outstanding at the end of the quarter.
The Nikko Cordial experience validates components that underpin all of our Japanese investments. First, the tide of large-scale, cross-border mergers and acquisitions that has swept most of the developed world has touched Japan’s shores. The tide may not move as fast as we would like, but we believe it is irreversible. Second, courts and regulators increasingly uphold and protect shareholder rights. Third, despite a multi-year malaise, the Japanese financial markets provide substantial opportunities to managements who provide innovative solutions to Japan’s savers, as Nikko Asset Management’s success has proven. Fourth, despite recent increased attention from investors, the Japanese market remains surprisingly inefficient given its size and maturity. Finally, executives of undervalued companies increasingly are being held accountable, and in some cases, are being replaced by managers, whether inside or outside of Japan, who think they can do a better job.
In addition to Nikko Cordial, Fairfax and KDDI were significant contributors to performance, and most other positions advanced. Fairfax continued to benefit from the market’s increased confidence in both its balance sheet and its operating

performance. KDDI has emerged as the clear winner in Japan’s introduction of mobile number portability, but, perhaps as important, has done so in a way that did not destroy the industry’s profitability.
Dell, the Fund’s largest holding, was the only name that meaningfully detracted from the Fund’s results. Kevin Rollins resigned and Michael Dell has taken the reins as CEO. Dell has brought in several new senior managers, is improving customer support, and is focused on restoring margins and sales growth to previous levels. While the outcome of the SEC’s investigation of Dell’s accounting is uncertain, we believe that the company’s competitive advantages remain in place, i.e. being the low cost provider via the direct sale model and having an entrenched distribution network with unique access to small and mid-sized customers. Even in what was arguably a bleak year, the company earned $3.7 billion in free cash flow and had margins, albeit depressed, that were higher than its competitors (in the case of HP, this excludes the printer cartridge business.) Our appraisal is significantly higher than the current price, and as the business improves, overseas sales continue to grow, and the company repurchases shares, Dell’s intrinsic value should grow meaningfully.
During the quarter dramatic short-term moves in natural gas prices provided an opportunity to purchase the Fund’s newest position, EnCana. We have known EnCana’s predecessor companies and management for nearly a decade. It owns substantial natural gas reserves as well as Canada’s most competitive oil sands project. A warm December and a weak natural gas spot price contributed to a dramatic decline in EnCana’s price despite limited impact on our appraisal. We are delighted to own this high-quality collection of long-lived assets at such an attractive price.
We completed the sale of News Corp and trimmed Renault, NTT DoCoMo, Vivendi, and Nestle as they became more fully valued. The International Fund’s price-to-value ratio (P/V) remains in the mid-70%s.

Past performance does not predict future performance, Fund prices fluctuate, and the value of an investment at redemption may be worth more or less than the purchase price. The Fund’s performance results in the table shown above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The EAFE Index is shown with all dividends and distributions reinvested. In 1998, the EAFE was available at month-end only; therefore, the EAFE value at October 31, 1998 was used to calculate performance since public offering. This index is unmanaged and is not hedged for foreign currency risk. Longleaf often hedges its exposure to foreign currencies. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics compiles the monthly CPI-U values used to calculate inflation. Seasonally adjusted inflation data is presented for periods less than one year. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Please call 1-800-445-9469 or view Longleaf’s website (www.longleafpartners.com) for more current performance information.
