The International Equity Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of non-U.S. issuers. STRATEGY. The International Equity Fund is diversified across a number of markets and includes commitments to large-cap and small-cap shares. Exposure is also maintained to the growth and value styles of active management. Emphasis is placed on active security selection as the principal source of value-added as opposed to active country allocation. The Fund does not hedge foreign currency exposure. ANALYSIS. The International Equity Fund was up more than 37% for the one year period ending September 1999. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, by more than 6.5%. The Fund's strong outperformance was broad based, with value being added through security selection, industry allocation and country allocation. The non-U.S. developed markets rallied over the past year as the economic outlook around the world improved. During the third and fourth quarters of 1998, there was widespread concern that many parts of the world were vulnerable to a severe economic downturn. However, as evidence mounted that the global economy was beginning to recover, financial markets rallied. The surge in equity prices was broad based with all but the Austrian market posting positive gains. The European equity markets rose more than 17%, while the Pacific Rim markets rose more than 70%. Some countries posted truly exceptional gains over the year. Japan was up almost 80%, Finland was up more than 90% and Singapore rose more than 120%. The Fund's specialist active managers were able to add significant value above the benchmark over the period. Several themes have been driving the Fund's stock selection and sector and country weightings. Corporate restructuring and industry consolidations, two trends prevalent in the United States during the 1980's and early 1990's, have taken hold globally. The Fund's positioning in stocks such as Broken Hill Proprietary in Australia, Sony Corporation in Japan, Carrefour in France, and Vodafone Airtouch in the UK were plays on this theme. --------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERNATIONAL EQUITY --------------------------------------------------------------------- AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN(1) --------------------------------------------------------------------- One Annualized Annualized Annualized Year 3 Year 5 Year Inception Return Return Return to Date --------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional 37.86% 11.62% 9.75% 6.76% --------------------------------------------------------------------- Class D, Synthetic 37.69%* 11.40%* 9.46% 8.76%* --------------------------------------------------------------------- Class D, Synthetic, w/load 30.77%* 9.52%* 8.34% 7.73%* --------------------------------------------------------------------- *Actual, not synthetic Comparison of Change in the Value of a $10,000 Investment in the SEI International Equity Fund, Class A or Class D, Synthetic w/load, versus the Morgan Stanley MSCI EAFE Index [In the printed version, there appears a line graph with the following plot points depicted.] SEI International Equity Fund Morgan SEI International Class D Stanley Equity Fund, Synthetic, MSCI Class A w/Load EAFE Index ------- ------ ---------- $18,857 $17,644 $16,842 12/31/89 10,000 9,500 10,000 9/30/90 8,350 7,933 6,927 9/30/91 9,416 8,945 8,443 9/30/92 9,232 8,771 7,842 9/30/93 11,137 10,580 9,908 9/30/94 11,841 11,228 10,883 9/30/95 12,343 11,662 11,514 9/30/96 13,558 12,764 12,507 9/30/97 14,990 14,063 14,032 9/30/98 13,678 12,814 12,861 9/30/99 18,857 17,664 16,842 (1) For the period ended September 30, 1999.

The Fund has also been positioned for the acceleration in economic growth that occurred over the past year. Stocks such as LVMH in France, Cathay Pacific Airlines in Hong Kong, and Nippon Paper in Japan were plays on this theme. All contributed to the Fund's outperformance. Finally, the Fund has been positioned to take advantage of the increasing global demand for technology-related products and a consolidation in the telecommunications industry. Holdings such as France Telecom, Deutsche Telecom and Matsushita Electric were plays on this theme. Structurally, the Fund remains style neutral to the MSCI EAFE Index, and well diversified across all markets in the benchmark. Over the past year Oechsle International Advisors, LLC was added to the strategy. Oecshle will have a broad mandate to buy stocks across all the non-US developed markets. Oechsle employs an investment process designed to identify inefficiencies within and between international equity markets. Emerging Markets Equity Fund Objective. The Emerging Markets Equity Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of emerging market issuers. Strategy. The Fund employs five money management specialists focusing on regions across Latin America, Asia, emerging Europe, South Africa, and global emerging markets. The managers specializing in Latin America, Asia and emerging Europe focus on both bottom up fundamental company analysis and top down country allocation. The Global Emerging Markets manager is focused on bottom up fundamental analysis across all regions in emerging markets. Analysis. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999, the Emerging Markets Equity Fund returned 48.2%, underperforming its benchmark, which returned 56.6%. At the asset allocation level, the relative performance of the Fund was affected by the regional bets of the Global Emerging Markets manager. The Asian markets have led the recovery in emerging markets since the third quarter of 1998, however, the Fund was underweighted to Asia and overweighted to EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) during the fourth quarter of 1998 and the first quarter of 1999. These regional and country bets have been driven by the manager's investment philosophy, which consists of bottom-up fundamental analysis. The strong performance of Asia has been dominated by stocks that benefited from increased liquidity and lower interest rates (real estate, banks, highly leveraged, or bankrupt companies). The manager's bottom-up fundamental analysis has identified companies with strong balance sheets, above average 2 <PAGE> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY --------------------------------------------------------- AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN(1) --------------------------------------------------------- One Annualized Annualized Year 3 Year Inception Return Return to Date --------------------------------------------------------- Emerging Markets Equity, Class A 48.23% -7.35% -1.68% --------------------------------------------------------- Comparison of Change in the Value of a $10,000 Investment in the SEI Emerging Markets Equity Fund, versus the IFC Investable Composite Index [In the printed version, there appears a line graph with the following plot points depicted.] Emerging Markets Morgan Stanley MSCI Equity Fund, Emerging Markets IFC Investible Class A Free Index Composite Index $9,116 $9,853 $10,171 ------ ------ ------- 1/31/95 10,000 10,000 10,000 9/30/95 10,651 10,755 10,669 9/30/96 11,464 11,316 11,592 9/30/97 12,662 12,060 12,207 9/30/98 6,150 6,295 6,496 9/30/99 9,116 9,853 10,171 (1) For the period ended September 30, 1999.

Towards the end of the first quarter of 1999, the manager modified the asset allocation to an underweight to the EMEA region, and an overweight to Asia. At that point, the Global Emerging Market manager was able to identify positive fundamental change and more high quality growing companies in Asia. Within Asia, the country allocation has also been a detractor to performance. Based on the same fundamental reasons explained above, the Fund remained underweight to Korea and Indonesia during the fourth quarter of 1998 and first quarter of 1999. In Indonesia, concerns of social unrest and political uncertainty created a too risky environment to invest. During this first part of the Asian recovery, stock selection within Korea was particularly poor, as the Fund underweighted highly leverage firms in the Financial sector. Since then, the Fund has focused on high quality stocks of companies undergoing fundamental change and restructuring. These companies were expected to benefit from a long term recovery of these markets. Within Taiwan and Korea, the Fund has had an overweight to exporters, technology, and electronics. In India, the Fund has been overweighted to cyclicals and resources to take advantage of the domestic growth and the recovery of commodity prices. This strategy has represented a strong source of value added during the second and third quarter of 1999, as stock selection was positive in India, Korea, and Taiwan. Within Latin America, the Fund benefited from an overweight to the largest markets: Mexico and Brazil. Mexico has been one of the best performing markets, showing high growth potential and a sound macroeconomic environment. Brazil has been able to stabilize its currency and reduce interest rates after the devaluation of its currency in January of 1999. This area of emerging markets has been very strong for the Fund, as the specialist manager added value through both market allocation and stock selection. The long term strategy has been focused on identifying growing companies with healthy balance sheets operating within a sound macroeconomic environment. The recovery of the commodity prices also benefited the strategy, as the Fund remained overweighted to resources and oil throughout Latin America. Within Mexico, the Fund has had a bias towards retail and media, whereas in Brazil the focus has been on telecoms and utilities. 3 <PAGE> MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEI Institutional International Trust -- September 30, 1999 Emerging Europe, Middle East, and Africa represented a difficult area for the Fund during 1998 and 1999. The asset allocation decision within that region has been affected by the high volatility of the Russian market, the relative valuation of Greece, and the unfortunate earthquake in Turkey. The Russian economy has benefited from the recovery of oil prices and the restructuring of the domestic debt. However, the fundamentals of the economy and the stock market remained weak throughout the last year. In addition, the political uncertainty surrounding the succession of Yeltsin added volatility to the market. These factors combined have made this market very difficult to analyze based on fundamental macroeconomic and company analysis. The other negative effect on the Fund has been the underweight to Greece since the beginning of 1999. The Fund has remained underweight to Greece based on the high valuation of this market compared to historical values, other emerging markets, and even other developed European markets. The rally of the Greek market has been driven by an increase in domestic liquidity and aggressive buying from domestic retail investors into the stock market. By contrast, stock selection in Greece has been a strong source of value added as the Fund exploited opportunities in the mid cap sector of the market where valuations were more attractive. The South African Market has been driven by the recovery of commodity prices and global growth. The specialist manager for South Africa participated in the rally of commodities with an overweight to diamonds and platinum, expecting higher demand from Japan and other Asian countries. Within the domestic environment, the manager focused on media and financials as interest rates decreased and the economic growth resumed. International Fixed Income Fund OBJECTIVE. The International Fixed Income Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation and current income through investments primarily in investment grade, non-U.S. dollar denominated government, corporate, mortgage-backed and asset-backed fixed income securities. STRATEGY. Fund construction entails a two-stage process which combines fundamental macroeconomic analysis and technical price analysis. First, a fundamental judgment is made about the direction of a market's interest rates and its currency. A technical price overlay is then applied to the fundamental position to ensure that the Fund is not substantially overweighted in a declining market or underweighted in a rising one. --------------------------------------------------------------- INTERNATIONAL FIXED INCOME --------------------------------------------------------------- AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN(1) --------------------------------------------------------------- One Annualized Annualized Annualized Year 3 Year 5 Year Inception Return Return Return to Date --------------------------------------------------------------- Class A -1.36% 3.92% 6.85% 6.57% --------------------------------------------------------------- Comparison of Change in the Value of a $10,000 Investment in the SEI International Fixed Income Fund, versus the Salomon WGBI, Non-U.S., Unhedged [In the printed version, there appears a line graph with the following plot points depicted.] SEI International Fixed Fund, Salomon WGBI, Class A Non-U.S. $14,390 $14,368 ------- ------- 9/30/93 10,000 10,000 9/30/93 10,000 10,000 9/30/94 10,333 10,557 9/30/95 12,385 12,434 9/30/96 12,822 12,936 9/30/97 12,971 12,826 9/30/98 14,589 14,154 9/30/99 14,390 14,368 (1) For the period ended September 30, 1999.

Class A Shares were offered beginning September 1, 1993. 4 <PAGE> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Country and currency allocations are made separately. As a result, the Fund's currency exposure may differ from its underlying bond holdings. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will generally be diversified across 6 to 12 countries with continual exposure to the three major trading blocs: North America, Europe, and the Pacific Basin. Depending upon the relative fundamental and technical views, each trading bloc is over or underweighted relative to the Fund's benchmark index. Currency exposure is actively managed to maximize return and control risk through the use of forward currency contracts and cross-currency hedging techniques. ANALYSIS: For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999, the International Fixed Income Fund returned -1.36% to underperform the Salomon Brothers Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index return of 1.53%. The Fund's underweight to Japanese bonds towards the latter half of the period as well as inopportune yen positions throughout the fiscal year drove underperformance. Yield curve positioning in the U.K. also hampered performance, but a defensive European bond position towards the end of the period improved results. The Japanese yen appreciated over 19% versus the U.S. dollar in a 48-hour period in October when hedge funds were forced to unwind their short yen positions during the liquidity squeeze surrounding the failure of Long Term Capital. The Fund's modest underweight to the yen during that period detracted from returns. During the yen's further appreciation in the spring, both the Bank of Japan and European Central bank intervened in the currency markets to weaken the yen. The Fund's overweight to the yen just prior to two major interventions hurt returns. Towards the end of the fiscal year, the Fund's modest overweight to the yen benefited returns as the yen continued to strengthen. After rallying briefly following its debut, the euro depreciated versus both the dollar and yen before recovering modestly towards the end of the fiscal year. Weaker economic numbers released earlier in the year, the conflict in Yugoslavia, and a lack of verbal support for the currency from European central bankers all contributed to the euro's weakness. The Fund's modest underweight to the euro early in the calendar year detracted from returns. European bond yields edged higher towards the end of the fiscal period as economic performance improved, which increased speculation for a possible central bank hike. A shorter overall duration in Europe improved returns. An overweight to the intermediate area of the British yield curve detracted from results as investors feared that more rate hikes were in the cards. The long end of the yield curve only experienced a modest increase in rates as legislation forced many U.K. pension plans and insurance companies into long-dated government bonds to match their long-dated liabilities. 5 <PAGE> MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEI Institutional International Trust -- September 30, 1999 Emerging Markets Debt Fund OBJECTIVE. The Emerging Markets Debt Fund seeks to maximize total return. STRATEGY. Structuring and managing the Fund entails a multi-step process. First, an internal assessment of country risk is compared with the market's pricing of country risk to determine relative value opportunities. The output determines which countries are 1) "core" holdings which have the strongest economic/political/debt attributes, 2) "trading" countries which present more opportunistic value, and 3) countries "not currently suitable" for investment. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will be diversified across 10-15 countries. The next step in the process determines relative value amongst sectors within a country, and security selection within the sectors.

Class A Shares were offered beginning June 29, 1997. final step incorporates a disciplined sell process through continual risk/reward analysis across and within emerging debt countries. U.S. interest-rate risk relative to the benchmark is controlled through the maintenance of a tightly constrained U.S. Treasury duration. Excess return is captured through active management of the sovereign spread component relative to the benchmark. ANALYSIS: The Emerging Markets Debt Fund returned 31.15% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 to strongly outperform the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus return of 23.00%. Overweights to Russia, Algeria, and Venezuela drove outperformance. Issue selection within Ecuador also contributed positively to relative returns, while a modest underweight to Brazil hurt returns. Russia was the top performing emerging debt country in the fiscal period, gaining 83%. The Fund's modest overweight to Russia drove performance as the country received an economic boost from the devalued ruble, negotiated IMF financial assistance, and continued to meet interest payments on its Eurobond debt. An underweight to Poland also benefited returns as the country fell less during the height of the August crisis, and therefore rallied less during the recovery. In Latin America, Brazil was a strong performer as it successfully floated its currency in January prior to spending much of its foreign exchange reserves. The appointment of former Soros partner Arminio Fraga as head of the Central Bank also boosted investor confidence. A modest underweight to Brazil detracted from returns. Neighboring Argentina underperformed as Brazil's devaluation exacerbated Argentina's economic recession, as Argentina maintained its one-to-one peg with the U.S. dollar. Looming presidential elections in October also caused Argentine debt to rally less than the 6 <PAGE> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- market, so the Fund's underweight to the country enhanced returns. Venezuela rallied despite the presidential election of a former military paratrooper in December as oil prices skyrocketed during the latter half of the fiscal period. The recovery of the global economy and OPEC's successful limitation of oil production boosted prices from their winter lows. Ecuador became the first country to miss a Brady bond payment as the economy failed to recover from the effects of El Nino last year. The Fund's exposure to Ecuador consisted entirely of Brady Par and Discount bonds. These particular bonds guarantee payment of collateral and two interest payments. These bonds fell less than the Past Due Interest ("PDI") Brady bond, which does not have any cash flow collateralized. The avoidance of the PDI enhanced relative returns. The Fund's concentration in the Mexico's Brady Par bond mitigated outperformance as the country's Brady bonds underperformed its Eurobonds. In Africa, Algeria benefited tremendously from the surge in oil and gas prices as the country derives more than half of its budget revenues and 95% of export earnings from the hydrocarbon sector. In Asia, the Fund's underweight to South Korea detracted from results as both Moody's and Standard & Poor's upgraded the country's foreign currency debt to investment grade status. An overweight to the Philippines also modestly detracted from results as the relatively high quality emerging country lagged in the rally. 7 <PAGE> STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

Organization SEI Institutional International Trust, (the "Trust"), was organized as a Massachusetts business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated June 30, 1988. The operations of the Trust commenced on December 20, 1989. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment company with four funds: the International Equity Fund, the Emerging Markets Equity Fund, the International Fixed Income Fund and the Emerging Markets Debt Fund (together the "Funds"). The Trust's prospectuses provide a description of each Fund's investment objectives, policies, and strategies. The Trust is registered to offer Class A shares of each of the Funds and Class D shares of the International Equity Fund. 2. Significant Accounting Policies The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Security Valuation -- Investment securities that are listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued by an independent pricing service at the last quoted sales price for such securities, or if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recently quoted bid price. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the most recently quoted bid price. Debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Other securities for which market quotations are not readily available or securities whose market quotations do not reflect market value are valued at fair value using good faith pricing procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Federal Income Taxes -- It is the intention of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements. The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned. The Funds accrue such taxes when the related income is earned. Net Asset Value Per Share -- Net asset value per share is calculated on a daily basis by dividing the assets of each Fund less its liabilities by the number of outstanding shares of the Fund. Repurchase Agreements -- Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreements. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and procedures adopted by the Trust require that the market value of the collateral to cover principal and interest, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. The Funds may also invest in tri-party repurchase agreements. Securities held as collateral for tri-party repurchase agreements are maintained in a segregated account by the broker's custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the agreements require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient to cover principal and interest in the event of default by the counterparty of the repurchase agreement. If the counterparty defaults 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. Foreign Currency Translation -- The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following bases: (I) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; and (II) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. 28 <PAGE> For foreign equity securities, the Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investment securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of such securities. The Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency rates when determining the gain or loss upon sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations for Federal income tax purposes. The Funds report gains and losses on foreign currency-related transactions as realized and unrealized gains and losses for financial reporting purposes, whereas such gains and losses are treated as ordinary income or loss for Federal income tax purposes. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts -- The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against either specific transactions, fund positions or anticipated fund positions. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded as the Funds do not intend to hold the contracts to maturity. All commitments are "marked-to-market" daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate, and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. The Funds realize gains and losses at the time forward contracts are extinguished. Unrealized gains or losses on outstanding positions in forward foreign currency contracts held at the close of the year are recognized as ordinary income or loss for federal income tax purposes. Futures Contracts -- The International Equity Fund utilized futures contracts during the year ended September 30, 1999. The Fund's investment in these futures contracts is designed to enable the Fund to more closely approximate the performance of its benchmark index. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are "marked to market" daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized losses or gains are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract. Risks related to futures contracts include the possibility that there may not be a liquid market for the contracts, that the changes in the value of the contract may not directly correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities, and that the counterparty to a contract may default on its obligation to perform. Option Selling/Purchasing -- The Funds may invest in financial options contracts solely for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities that the Funds intend to purchase, against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. When the Fund sells or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Fund is recorded as a liability or an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss on investment transactions. Classes -- Class-specific expenses, such as Shareholder Servicing for Class A and 12b-1 and Transfer Agent for Class D, are borne by that class. Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the respective classes on the basis of relative daily net assets. Expenses -- Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Funds are prorated to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets. Distributions -- Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under generally accepted accounting principles. These 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 in the period that the difference arises. 29 <PAGE> NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEI Institutional International Trust -- September 30, 1999 Accordingly, $3,200,000 and $258,000 was reclassified from accumulated net realized gain on investments to undistributed net investment income in the International Equity and Emerging Markets Equity Funds, respectively. The International Fixed Income Fund reclassed $2,006,000 from accumulated net investment income to accumulated net realized loss on investments. The International Equity Fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Accordingly, the International Equity Fund reclassed $2,848,000 and $7,378,000 from undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gains on investments respectively, to paid in capital. In addition, the following permanent differences primarily attributable to realized foreign exchange gains and losses, have been reclassified from accumulated net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions to undistributed net investment income: (000) ------ International Equity Fund $(641) Emerging Markets Equity Fund (2,152) International Fixed Income Fund (6,019) Emerging Markets Debt Fund 12 These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net value per share. Other -- Security transactions are reported for on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Costs used in determining net realized capital gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities held by the Funds are accreted and amortized to maturity using the scientific interest method, which approximates the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized using the accrual method. 3. Management, Investment Advisory and Distribution Agreements SEI Investments Fund Management (the "Manager") and the Trust are parties to a management agreement dated September 30, 1988, under which the Manager provides management, administrative and shareholder services to the Trust for an annual fee equal to .45% of the average daily net assets of the International Equity Fund, .60% of the average daily net assets of the International Fixed Income Fund, and .65% of the average daily net assets of the Emerging Markets Equity and Emerging Markets Debt Funds. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of its fees and, if necessary, reimburse other operating expenses in order to limit the operating expenses of each Fund. SEI Investments Management Corporation ("SIMC") acts as the investment adviser for the International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity and Emerging Markets Debt Funds. Under the Invest-ment Advisory Agreement, SIMC receives an annual fee of .505% of the average daily net assets of the International Equity Fund, 1.05% of the average daily net assets of the Emerging Markets Equity Fund, and .85% of the average daily net assets of the Emerging Markets Debt Fund. As of September 30, 1999, pursuant to Sub-Advisory Agreements with SIMC, Acadian Asset Manage-ment, Inc., Capital Guardian Trust Company, Scottish Widows Investment Management Ltd., SG Pacific Asset Management Inc. (formally Yamaichi Capital Management, Inc.) and Oechsle International Advisors serve as Sub-Advisers to the International Equity Fund, and SG Pacific Asset Management Inc. (formally Yamaichi Capital Management. Inc.), Morgan Stanley Asset Management Inc., Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management Inc., Coronation Asset Management (Proprietary) Limited, and Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited serve as Sub-Advisers to the Emerging Markets Equity Fund. Salomon Brothers Asset Management, Inc. serves as the Sub-Adviser to the Emerging Markets Debt Fund. Strategic Fixed Income, LLC, the Adviser for the International Fixed Income Fund, is a party to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust dated June 15, 1993. Under the investment advisory agreement, Strategic Fixed Income, LLC, receives an annual fee of up to .30% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Strategic Fixed Income, LLC, has voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of its fee, in conjunction with the Manager, in order to limit the total operating expenses of the Fund. 30 <PAGE> SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Investments and a registered broker-dealer, serves as each Fund's distributor pursuant to a distribution agreement with the Trust. Effective April 15, 1996, the Trust adopted a shareholder servicing plan (the "Class A Plan") pursuant to which a shareholder servicing fee of up to .25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Class A shares are paid to the Distributor. Under the Class A Plan, the Distributor may perform, or may compensate other service providers for performing certain shareholder and administrative services. The International Equity Fund has adopted a distribution plan for its Class D shares (the "Class D Plan") pursuant to which a 12b-1 fee of up to .30% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Class D shares is paid to the Distributor. As of September 30, 1999, the Distributor was taking a fee under the Class D Plan of .25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class D shares. This payment may be used to compensate financial institutions that provide distribution-related services to their customers. Under both the Class A Plan and the Class D Plan, the Distributor may retain as profit any difference between the fee it receives and the amount it pays to third parties. In addition, Class D shares incur transfer agency fees of up to .15% of the average daily net assets. Class D is also subject to a 5% sales load on purchases of shares. Certain Officers and/or Trustees of the Trust are also Officers and/or Directors of the Manager. Compensation of Officers and affiliated Trustees is paid by the manager. For the year ended September 30, 1999, the Funds paid commissions of $660,238 to affiliated broker-dealers. 4. Organizational Costs Organizational costs have been capitalized by the Funds and are being amortized using the straight line method over sixty months beginning with the commencement of operations. In the event any of the initial shares of a Fund acquired by the Manager are redeemed during the period that the Fund is amortizing its organizational costs, the redemption proceeds payable to the Manager by the Fund will be reduced by an amount equal to a pro-rata portion of the unamortized organizational costs. The Emerging Markets Equity and International Equity Funds also used the Distributor as an agent in placing repurchase agreements. For this service the Distributor retains a portion of the interest earned as a commission. Such commissions for the period ended September 30, 1999 were $4,152 and $9,959, respectively. 5. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts The Funds enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts as hedges against fund positions and anticipated fund positions. Such contracts, which are designed to protect the value of the Fund's investment securities against a decline in the value of the hedged currency, do not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities; they simply establish an exchange rate at a future date. Also, although such contracts tend to minimize risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a hedged currency, at the same time they tend to limit any potential gain that might be realized should the value of such foreign currency increase.

Concentration of Risks Each Fund invests in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States, as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries. The International Fixed Income Fund and Emerging Markets Debt Fund invest in debt securities, the market value of which may change in response to interest rate changes. Also, the ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the International Fixed Income Fund and Emerging Markets Debt Fund to meet its obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific country, industry or region. 33 <PAGE> NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEI Institutional International Trust -- September 30, 1999 9. Loan Participations and Brady Bonds The Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the "Fund") invests in U.S. dollar-denominated fixed and floating rate loans ("Loans") arranged through private negotiations between a foreign sovereign entity and one or more financial institutions ("Lenders"). The Fund invests in such Loans in the form of participations in Loans ("Participations") or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties ("Assignments"). Participations typically result in the Fund having a contractual relationship only with the Lender, not with the sovereign borrower. The Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled from the Lender selling the Participation and only upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, the Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the Loan, nor any rights of set-off against the bor-rower, and the Fund will not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the Loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the Lender that is selling the Participation. The Fund may have difficulty disposing of Participations and Assignments because the market for such instruments is not highly liquid. Certain debt obligations, customarily referred to as "Brady Bonds," are created through the exchange of existing commercial bank loans to foreign entities for new obligations in connection with debt restructuring under a plan introduced by former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Nicholas F. Brady. Brady Bonds have only been issued since 1989, and, accordingly, do not have a long payment history. They are issued by governments that may have previously defaulted on the loans being restructured by the Brady Bonds, so are subject to the risk of default by the issuer. They may be fully or partially collateralized or uncollateralized and issued in various currencies. 34 <PAGE> REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of SEI Institutional International Trust In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets of the International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity and International Fixed Income Funds and the statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of the Emerging Markets Debt Fund, 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 the International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, International Fixed Income, and Emerging Markets Debt Funds (constituting the SEI Institutional International Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at September 30, 1999 and the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust'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 generally accepted auditing standards 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 September 30, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
