† | In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), all investments held by each of Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Equity Fund ("Emerging Markets Equity"), Neuberger Berman Equity Income Fund ("Equity Income"), Neuberger Berman Focus Fund ("Focus"), Neuberger Berman Genesis Fund ("Genesis"), Neuberger Berman Global Equity Fund ("Global Equity"), Neuberger Berman Global Thematic Opportunities Fund ("Global Thematic Opportunities"), Neuberger Berman Guardian Fund ("Guardian"), Neuberger Berman International Fund ("International"), Neuberger Berman International Institutional Fund ("International Institutional"), Neuberger Berman International Large Cap Fund ("International Large Cap"), Neuberger Berman Intrinsic Value Fund ("Intrinsic Value"), Neuberger Berman Large Cap Disciplined Growth Fund ("Large Cap Disciplined Growth"), Neuberger Berman Large Cap Value Fund ("Large Cap Value") (formerly, Neuberger Berman Partners Fund), Neuberger Berman Mid Cap Growth Fund ("Mid Cap Growth"), Neuberger Berman Mid Cap Intrinsic Value Fund ("Mid Cap Intrinsic Value") (formerly, Neuberger Berman Regency Fund), Neuberger Berman Multi-Cap Opportunities Fund ("Multi-Cap Opportunities"), Neuberger Berman Real Estate Fund ("Real Estate"), Neuberger Berman Select Equities Fund ("Select Equities"), Neuberger Berman Small Cap Growth Fund ("Small Cap Growth"), Neuberger Berman Socially Responsive Fund ("Socially Responsive") and Neuberger Berman Value Fund ("Value") (formerly, Neuberger Berman Large Cap Value Fund), (each individually a "Fund," and collectively, the "Funds") are carried at the value that Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") believes a fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market conditions. Various inputs, including the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in the market, are considered in valuing the Funds' investments, some of which are discussed below. Significant management judgment may be necessary to value investments in accordance with ASC 820. ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to create a classification of value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below. |
| | ● | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
| | ● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, amortized cost, etc.) |
| | ● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
| |
| The inputs or methodology used for valuing an investment are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The value of the Funds' investments in equity securities, exchange traded funds and written option contracts, for which market quotations are readily available, is generally determined by Management by obtaining valuations from an independent pricing service based on the latest sale price quoted on a principal exchange or market for that security (Level 1 inputs). Securities traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market are normally valued by a Fund at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") provided by NASDAQ each business day. The NOCP is the most recently reported price as of 4:00:02 p.m., Eastern time, unless that price is outside the range of the "inside" bid and asked prices (i.e., the bid and asked prices that dealers quote to each other when trading for their own accounts); in that case, NASDAQ will adjust the price to equal the inside bid or asked price, whichever is closer. Because of delays in reporting trades, the NOCP may not be based on the price of the last trade to occur before the market closes. If there is no reported sale of a security on a particular day, the independent pricing service may value the security based on reported market quotations. The value of the Funds' investments in convertible bonds is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid quotations, or if quotations are not available, by methods which include various considerations such as yields or prices of securities of comparable |

| quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions (generally Level 2 inputs). Other Level 2 inputs used by an independent pricing service to value convertible bonds generally include underlying stock data, dealer quotes, conversion premiums, listed bond and preferred stock prices and other market information which may include benchmark curves, trade execution data, and sensitivity analysis, when available. Management has developed a process to periodically review information provided by independent pricing services for all types of securities. Certificates of Deposit are valued at amortized cost. Investments in State Street Institutional Liquid Reserves Fund Institutional Class, State Street Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund Institutional Class, and State Street Institutional Treasury Plus Fund Institutional Class are valued using the respective fund's daily calculated net asset value per share (Level 2 inputs). If a valuation is not available from an independent pricing service, or if Management has reason to believe that the valuation received does not represent the amount a Fund might reasonably expect to receive on a current sale in an orderly transaction, the applicable Fund seeks to obtain quotations from principal market makers (generally considered Level 3 inputs). If such quotations are not readily available, the security is valued using methods the Neuberger Berman Equity Funds' Board of Trustees (the "Board") has approved on the belief that they reflect fair value. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security based on Level 2 or 3 inputs, including available analyst, media or other reports, trading in futures or ADRs and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities outstanding. The value of the Funds' investments in foreign securities is generally determined using the same valuation methods and inputs as other Fund investments, as discussed above. Foreign security prices expressed in local currency values are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. The Board has approved the use of Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data, Inc. ("Interactive") to assist in determining the fair value of foreign equity securities when changes in the value of a certain index suggest that the closing prices on the foreign exchanges may no longer represent the amount that a Fund could expect to receive for those securities or on days when foreign markets are closed and U.S. markets are open. In each of these events, Interactive will provide adjusted prices for certain foreign equity securities using a statistical analysis of historical correlations of multiple factors (Level 2 inputs). In the absence of precise information about the market values of these foreign securities as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, the Board has determined on the basis of available data that prices adjusted in this way are likely to be closer to the prices a fund could realize on a current sale than are the prices of those securities established at the close of the foreign markets in which the securities primarily trade. Fair value prices are necessarily estimates, and there is no assurance that such a price will be at or close to the price at which the security is next quoted or next trades. |

| As of the year ending August 31, 2012, certain foreign equity securities were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 as a result of the Fund's procedures for valuing securities, as stated in the description of the valuation methods of foreign equity securities above. Based on beginning of period market values as of August 31, 2011, approximately $4,941,000 was transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 for Emerging Markets Equity. These transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 were due to foreign exchanges being closed as of August 31, 2012 and therefore no price being readily available. As of the year ending August 31, 2012, there were no transfers in to or out of Level 3. |

Notes to Financial Statements Equity Funds
Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
1 | General: Neuberger Berman Equity Funds (the "Trust") is a Delaware statutory trust organized pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Instrument dated June 24, 2009. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and its shares are registered under the 1933 Act. The Funds are separate operating series of the Trust, each of which (except Multi-Cap Opportunities, Real Estate (effective June 19, 2012) and Select Equities) is diversified. Under the 1940 Act, the status of a Fund that was registered as non-diversified may, under certain circumstances, change to that of a diversified fund. Ten Funds offer Investor Class shares, eleven offer Trust Class shares, six offer Advisor Class shares, twenty offer Institutional Class shares, nineteen offer Class A shares, nineteen offer Class C shares, and eleven offer Class R3 shares. The Board may establish additional series or classes of shares without the approval of shareholders. |
| |
| The assets of each Fund belong only to that Fund, and the liabilities of each Fund are borne solely by that Fund and no other. |
| |
| The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires Management to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| |
2 | Portfolio valuation: Investment securities are valued as indicated in the notes following the Funds' Schedule of Investments. |
| |
3 | Foreign currency translation: The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, to determine the value of investments, other assets and liabilities. Purchase and sale prices of securities, and income and expenses, are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Net unrealized foreign currency gain (loss), if any, arises from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, as a result of changes in exchange rates and is stated separately in the Statements of Operations. |
| |
4 | Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign dividends, as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including accretion of discount on securities for Equity Income, accretion of original issue discount, where applicable, and accretion of discount on short-term investments, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and foreign currency transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated separately in the Statements of Operations. Included in net realized gain (loss) on investments are proceeds from the settlements of class action litigation in which the Funds participated as class members. The amounts of such proceeds for the year ended August 31, 2012 were $581, $96,904, $577,736, $337,798, $103,704, $122,104, $868, $52,085, $66,354, $83,446, $919, $6,016, $9,520 and $17,274 for Equity Income, Focus, Genesis, Guardian, International, Intrinsic Value, Large Cap Disciplined Growth, Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value, Multi-Cap Opportunities, Real Estate, Small Cap Growth and Socially Responsive, respectively. |
| |
5 | Income tax information: The Funds are treated as separate entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its earnings to its shareholders. To the extent a Fund distributes substantially all of its earnings to shareholders, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. |
| The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three fiscal years 2009-2011. As of August 31, 2012, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax positions. |
| |
| Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund as a whole. The Funds may also utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of their shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. |
| |
| As determined on August 31, 2012, permanent differences resulting primarily from different book and tax accounting were reclassified at year end. Such differences may be attributed to one or more of the following: net operating losses, defaulted bonds, contingent payment debt instrument basis adjustments, premium amortization adjustments, partnership and grantor trust income adjustments, distribution redesignations, foreign capital gains tax, foreign currency gains and losses, non-deductible 12b-1 fees, non-taxable distributions from stocks, ordinary loss netting to reduce short term capital gains, passive foreign investment companies gains and losses, distributions in excess of earnings, return of capital non-taxable dividend adjustment to income 9/1/11-12/31/11, return of capital distributions and characterization of distributions from real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). These reclassifications had no effect on net income, net asset value ("NAV") or NAV per share of each Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2012, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications: |

| The differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: wash sales, defaulted bonds, common stock basis adjustments, capital loss carryforwards, post October loss deferrals, return of capital basis adjustments, organization expenses, passive foreign investment companies, contingent payment debt instrument basis adjustments, premium amortization accruals, forward contracts mark to market, partnership and trust basis adjustments, non-taxable dividend adjustments and convertible preferred stock basis adjustments. |
| |
| To the extent each Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the policy of each Fund not to distribute such gains. The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") became effective for the Funds on September 1, 2011. The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for RICs to carry forward capital losses indefinitely and to retain the character of capital loss carryforwards as short-term or long-term ("Post-Enactment"). Rules in effect previously limited the carryforward period to eight years and all carryforwards were considered short-term in character ("Pre-Enactment"). As determined at August 31, 2012, the following Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows: |

| Post-Enactment capital loss carryforwards must be fully used before Pre-Enactment capital loss carryforwards; therefore, under certain circumstances, Pre-Enactment capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date may expire unused. During the year ended August 31, 2012, Focus, Guardian, International, International Large Cap, Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value, Real Estate, Small Cap Growth, Socially Responsive and Value utilized capital loss carryforwards of $12,749,959, $20,164,603, $9,235,724, $410,595, $279,548,269, $22,285,281, $8,745,225, $3,878,676, $18,140,041, $57,996,265 and $224,303, respectively. Under current tax regulations, capital losses on investment transactions realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Under the Act, the Funds may also defer any realized late-year ordinary losses as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Late-year ordinary losses represent ordinary losses realized on investment transactions after December 31 and specified losses (ordinary losses from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of property, net foreign currency losses and net passive foreign investment company mark to market losses) realized on investment transactions after October 31. For the year ended August 31, 2012, the Funds elected to defer the following late-year ordinary losses and post October capital losses: |

6 | Foreign taxes: Foreign taxes withheld represent amounts withheld by foreign tax authorities, net of refunds recoverable. |
| |
7 | Distributions to shareholders: Each Fund may earn income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. |
| |
| Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, generally are distributed once a year (usually in December) and are recorded on the ex-date. However, Equity Income and Real Estate generally distribute substantially all of their net investment income, if any, at the end of each calendar quarter. |
| |
| It is the policy of each of Equity Income, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value and Real Estate to pass through to its shareholders substantially all REIT distributions and other income it receives, less operating expenses. The distributions received from REITs held by Equity Income, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value and Real Estate are generally composed of income, capital gains, and/or return of REIT capital, but the REITs do not report this information to Equity Income, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value and Real Estate until the following calendar year. At August 31, 2012, |
| Equity Income, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value and Real Estate estimated these amounts within the financial statements since the information is not available from the REITs until after each Fund's fiscal year-end. For the year ended August 31, 2012, the character of distributions paid to shareholders of Equity Income, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value and Real Estate disclosed within the Statements of Changes in Net Assets is based on estimates made at that time. All estimates are based upon REIT information sources available to Equity Income, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value and Real Estate together with actual IRS Forms 1099DIV received to date. Based on past experience it is possible that a portion of Equity Income's, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value's and Real Estate's distributions during the current fiscal year will be considered tax return of capital, but the actual amount of the tax return of capital, if any, is not determinable until after each Fund's fiscal year-end. After calendar year-end, when Equity Income, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value and Real Estate learn the nature of the distributions paid by REITs during that year, distributions previously identified as income are often re-characterized as return of capital and/or capital gain. After all applicable REITs have informed Equity Income, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value and Real Estate of the actual breakdown of distributions paid to Equity Income, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value and Real Estate during its fiscal year, estimates previously recorded are adjusted on the books of Equity Income, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value and Real Estate to reflect actual results. As a result, the composition of Equity Income's, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value's and Real Estate's distributions as reported herein may differ from the final composition determined after calendar year-end and reported to Equity Income, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value and Real Estate shareholders on IRS Form 1099DIV. |
| |
8 | Expense allocation: Certain expenses are applicable to multiple funds. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are not directly attributable to a particular series of the Trust (e.g., a Fund) are allocated among the series of the Trust, on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the series can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses borne by the complex of related investment companies, which includes open-end and closed-end investment companies for which Management serves as investment manager, that are not directly attributable to a particular investment company in the complex (e.g., the Trust) or series thereof are allocated among the investment companies in the complex or series thereof, on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the investment companies in the complex or series thereof can otherwise be made fairly. Each Fund's expenses (other than those specific to each class) are allocated proportionally each day among the classes based upon the relative net assets of each class. |
| |
9 | Redemption of fund shares: Prior to June 1, 2011, each class of Emerging Markets Equity, International, International Institutional, and International Large Cap charged a redemption fee of 2%, and each class of Real Estate charged a redemption fee of 1%, on shares redeemed or exchanged for shares of another fund within 60 days or less of the purchase date. As of June 1, 2011, the Funds no longer charge a redemption fee. |
| |
10 | Investments in foreign securities: Investing in foreign securities may involve certain sovereign and other risks, in addition to the credit and market risks normally associated with domestic securities. These additional risks include the possibility of adverse political and economic developments (including political instability, nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation) and the potentially adverse effects of unavailability of public information regarding issuers, less governmental supervision and regulation of financial markets, reduced liquidity of certain financial markets, and the lack of uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards or the application of standards that are different or less stringent than those applied in the United States. Foreign securities also may experience greater price volatility, higher rates of inflation, and delays in settlement. |
| |
11 | Derivative instruments: During the year ended August 31, 2012, certain of the Funds' use of derivatives, as described below, was limited to written option transactions. The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The disclosure requirements of ASC 815 distinguish between derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting and those that do not. Because investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, even though a Fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered non-hedge transactions for purposes of this disclosure. |
| Options: Premiums received by a Fund upon writing a covered call option or a put option are recorded in the liability section of the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current market value. When an option is exercised, closed, or expired, the Fund realizes a gain or loss and the liability is eliminated. |
| |
| When writing a covered call option, a Fund, in return for the premium, gives up the opportunity for profit from a price increase in the underlying security above the exercise price, but conversely retains the risk of loss should the price of the security decline. When writing a put option, the Fund, in return for the premium, takes the risk that it must purchase the underlying security at a price that may be higher than the current market price of the security. If a covered call or a put option that the Fund has written expires unexercised, the Fund will realize a gain in the amount of the premium. All securities covering outstanding call options are held in escrow by the custodian bank. |
| |
| Premiums paid by a Fund upon purchasing a call or put option are recorded in the asset section of the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current market value. When an option is exercised, closed, or expired, the Fund realizes a gain or loss and the asset is eliminated. |
| |
| Written option transactions were used in an attempt to generate incremental returns for Equity Income for the year ended August 31, 2012. Written option transactions for Equity Income for the year ended August 31, 2012 were: |
Equity Income
| | Put Options | | Call Options | |
| | Number | | Value When Written | | Number | | Value When Written | |
Contracts outstanding 8/31/2011 | | | 250 | | | $ | 63,000 | | | | 1,700 | | | $ | 280,000 | | |

Contracts outstanding 8/31/2012 | | | 3,750 | | | $ | 500,000 | | | | 8,800 | | | $ | 985,000 | | |
| At August 31, 2012, Equity Income had the following derivatives (which did not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815), grouped by primary risk exposure: |
Liability Derivatives
| | Equity Contracts Risk | | Statements of Assets and Liabilities Location | |
Option Contracts Written | | $ | (1,797,000 | ) | | Options contracts | |
Total Value | | $ | (1,797,000 | ) | | written, at value | |
| The impact of the use of these derivative instruments on the Statements of Operations during the year ended August 31, 2012 was as follows: |
Realized Gain (Loss)
Equity Income | | Equity Contracts Risk | | Statements of Operations Location | |
Option Contracts Written | | $ | 2,118,000 | | | Net realized gain | |
Total Realized Gain (Loss) | | $ | 2,118,000 | | | (loss) on: options written | |
Change in Appreciation (Depreciation)
Equity Income | | Equity Contracts Risk | | Statements of Operations Location | |
Option Contracts Written | | $ | 242,000 | | | Change in net unrealized appreciation | |
Total Change in Appreciation (Depreciation) | | $ | 242,000 | | | (depreciation) in value of: options written | |
| For the year ended August 31, 2012, Equity Income had an average market value of $1,052,000 in written options. |
| |
| While the Funds may receive rights and warrants in connection with their investments in securities, these rights and warrants are not considered "derivative instruments" under ASC 815. Management has concluded that the Funds, except Equity Income, did not hold any derivative instruments during the year ended August 31, 2012 that require additional disclosures pursuant to ASC 815. |
| |
12 | Indemnifications: Like many other companies, the Trust's organizational documents provide that its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, both in some of its principal service contracts and in the normal course of its business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against the Trust. |
| |
13 | Expense offset arrangement: Each Fund has an expense offset arrangement in connection with its custodian contract. For the year ended August 31, 2012, the impact of this arrangement was a reduction of expenses of $46, $1,236, $507, $720, $0, $10, $37, $61, $82, $45, $2, $6, $695, $178, $1, $62, $13, $16, $19, $130 and $0 for Emerging Markets Equity, Equity Income, Focus, Genesis, Global Equity, Global Thematic Opportunities, Guardian, International, International Institutional, International Large Cap, Intrinsic Value, Large Cap Disciplined Growth, Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value, Multi-Cap Opportunities, Real Estate, Select Equities, Small Cap Growth, Socially Responsive and Value, respectively. |
| |
14 | Other: All net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of each Fund are allocated, on the basis of relative net assets, pro rata among its respective classes. |
Note B—Management Fees, Administration Fees, Distribution Arrangements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(1) | Management has voluntarily agreed to waive its management fee in the amount of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Mid Cap Intrinsic Value (0.15% prior to February 1, 2012). Management may, at its sole discretion, modify or terminate this voluntary waiver without notice to the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2012, such waived fees amounted to $153,925 for Mid Cap Intrinsic Value. |
| |
| Accordingly, for the year ended August 31, 2012, the management fee pursuant to the Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of each Fund's average daily net assets, as follows: |
| | Effective Rate | | | | Effective Rate | |
Emerging Markets Equity | | | 1.00 | % | | Large Cap Disciplined Growth | | | .53 | % | |
Equity Income | | | .47 | % | | Large Cap Value | | | .48 | % | |
Focus | | | .53 | % | | Mid Cap Growth | | | .53 | % | |
Genesis | | | .66 | % | | Mid Cap Intrinsic Value | | | .34 | % | |
Global Equity | | | .75 | % | | Multi-Cap Opportunities | | | .60 | % | |

International Large Cap | | | .55 | % | | Value | | | .55 | % | |
Intrinsic Value | | | .85 | % | | | | | | | | | |
| Each Fund retains Management as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. Each Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.06% of its average daily net assets under this Agreement. In addition, each Fund's Investor Class, Class A, Class C and Class R3 pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.20% of its average daily net assets, each Fund's Trust Class and Advisor Class pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.34% of its average daily net assets, and each Fund's Institutional Class pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.09% of its average daily net assets. Additionally, Management retains State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. Management pays State Street a fee for all services received under the agreement. For the Trust Class of Focus, Guardian, International Large Cap, Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value, Real Estate, Small Cap Growth and Socially Responsive, the Advisor Class of each Fund, and Class A, Class C and Class R3 of each Fund, Management acts as agent in arranging for the sale of class shares without commission and bears advertising and promotion expenses. The Board has adopted distribution plans (each a "Plan", collectively, the "Plans") with respect to these classes, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plans provide that, as compensation for administrative and other services provided to these classes, Management's activities and expenses |
| related to the sale and distribution of these classes of shares, and ongoing services provided to investors in these classes, Management receives from each of these classes a fee at the annual rate of 0.10% of such Trust Class's, 0.25% of such Advisor Class's, 0.25% of such Class A's, 1.00% of such Class C's and 0.50% of such Class R3's average daily net assets. Management receives this amount to provide distribution and shareholder servicing for those classes and pays a portion of it to institutions that provide such services. Those institutions may use the payments for, among other purposes, compensating employees engaged in sales and/or shareholder servicing. The amount of fees paid by each class during any year could have been more or less than the cost of distribution and other services provided to that class. FINRA rules limit the amount of annual distribution fees that may be paid by a mutual fund and impose a ceiling on the cumulative distribution fees paid. The Trust's Plans comply with those rules. Management has contractually agreed to forgo current payment of fees and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Investor Class of each of International, Large Cap Disciplined Growth, Mid Cap Intrinsic Value and Small Cap Growth and the Trust Class, Advisor Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R3 of each Fund that offers those classes so that the total annual operating expenses of those classes do not exceed the expense limitations as detailed in the following table. These undertakings apply to a Fund's direct expenses and do not cover interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses and dividend expense on short sales, if any; consequently, net expenses may exceed the contractual expense limitations. Each Fund has agreed that each of its respective classes will repay Management for fees and expenses forgone or reimbursed for that class provided that repayment does not cause the class's annual operating expenses to exceed its contractual expense limitation in place at the time the fees and expenses were forgone or reimbursed. The Institutional Class of each of Multi-Cap Opportunities and Value has agreed to repay the fees and expenses forgone or reimbursed for that Fund's Trust Class prior to December 21, 2009 and April 19, 2010, respectively, provided that the repayment does not cause the class's annual operating expenses to exceed its contractual expense limitation in place at the time the fees and expenses were forgone or reimbursed. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the year in which Management incurred the expense. During the year ended August 31, 2012, the Institutional Class of Equity Income, Class A of Equity Income, Class C of Equity Income, Class R3 of Equity Income, the Advisor Class of Guardian, the Institutional Class of Guardian, the Investor Class of Large Cap Disciplined Growth, Class A of Large Cap Value, the Advisor Class of Mid Cap Growth, the Institutional Class of Multi-Cap Opportunities, Class A of Multi-Cap Opportunities, Class A of Socially Responsive and Class R3 of Socially Responsive reimbursed Management $123,385, $484,371, $44,624, $268, $999, $7, $13,020, $3,361, $12,953, $135,434, $999, $2,639 and $1,453, respectively, under its contractual expense limitation agreement. At August 31, 2012, contingent liabilities to Management under the agreement were as follows: |

| Neuberger Berman LLC ("Neuberger") is retained by Management to furnish it with investment recommendations and research information without added cost to the Funds. Several individuals who are officers and/or Trustees of the Trust are also employees of Neuberger and/or Management. Management and Neuberger are indirect subsidiaries of Neuberger Berman Group LLC (("NBG") and together with its consolidated subsidiaries ("NB Group")). NBSH Acquisition, LLC ("NBSH"), which is owned by portfolio managers, members of the NB Group management team and certain of NB Group's key employees and senior professionals, owns approximately 55% of NBG's common units, and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("LBHI") and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively the "LBHI Parties") own the remaining 45% of such common units. Pursuant to agreements among NBG, NBSH and the LBHI Parties, NBG is entitled to acquire the remaining common units not owned by NBSH through a process that is expected to end in 2017. In April 2012, NBG began payments for equity purchases from the LBHI parties, which are expected to raise employee ownership by year end. Each class of shares has a distribution agreement with Management. Class A shares of each Fund are generally sold with an initial sales charge of up to 5.75% and no contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"), except that a CDSC of 1.00% will apply to certain redemptions made within 18 months following purchases of $1 million or more without an initial sales charge. Class C shares of each Fund are sold with no initial sales charge and a 1.00% CDSC if shares are sold within one year after purchase. On August 30, 2011, Management made a voluntary contribution to International as is shown in the Statements of Changes under the caption "Voluntary Contribution from Management".

Note E—Lines of Credit:
| At August 31, 2012, each Fund was a participant in a single committed, unsecured $200,000,000 line of credit with State Street, to be used only for temporary or emergency purposes. Other investment companies managed by Management also participate in this line of credit on the same terms. Interest is charged on borrowings under this line of credit at the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum or (b) the Overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.10% (0.125% prior to September 16, 2011) per annum of the available line of credit is charged, of which each participating Fund has agreed to pay its pro rata share, based on the ratio of its individual net assets to the net assets of all participants at the time the fee is due and payable. The fee is paid quarterly in arrears. Because several mutual funds participate, there is no assurance that an individual Fund will have access to all or any part of the $200,000,000 at any particular time. There were no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at August 31, 2012. During the year ended August 31, 2012, no funds utilized this line of credit. At August 31, 2012, International, International Institutional and International Large Cap were participants in a single uncommitted, secured $100,000,000 line of credit with State Street to be used only for temporary or emergency purposes or for leverage. Another investment company managed by Management also participates in this line of credit on the same terms. Interest is charged at LIBOR, or the overnight Federal Funds Rate, plus a spread to be determined at the time of borrowing. Because several mutual funds participate, there is no assurance that a Fund will have access to all or any part of the $100,000,000 at any particular time. International, International Institutional and International Large Cap had no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at August 31, 2012. During the year ended August 31, 2012, International, International Institutional, and International Large Cap did not utilize this line of credit. |

Note G—Legal Matters:
| In July 2010, Benjamin J. Gamoran filed a purported "Verified Derivative Complaint" in the Supreme Court of the State of New York naming, along with other defendants, the Trust as a nominal defendant. The suit alleged that the defendants are liable for losses related to International's investments in shares of certain companies that are alleged to have illegally offered or facilitated online gambling by individuals located in the United States and asserted purported state law derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and waste. In August 2010, defendants removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On May 11, 2011, the District Court dismissed the action without prejudice upon plaintiff's mid-suit demand on the Board. The Board named a committee of independent, non-involved Trustees to review the plaintiff's demand and to make a recommendation to the Board regarding how to appropriately respond. The committee retained counsel to assist it. On August 24, 2011, plaintiff Gamoran filed another complaint, this time in Delaware federal court ("Gamoran III"). The case was later transferred to the Southern District of New York. The substantive underlying claims alleged in the Gamoran III complaint are similar to those that appeared in the July 2010 case discussed above and an earlier voluntarily dismissed action. The Gamoran III complaint also alleges some purported class claims. It seeks relief including compensatory damages for the Trust representing the loss in value of the Trust's investments resulting from the allegedly illegal conduct, compensatory damages for individual shareholders for the investment losses, forfeiture and disgorgement of fees and commissions, treble and punitive damages, attorney's fees, and other items. While earlier complaints contended that demand was futile, the Gamoran III complaint alleges that plaintiff Gamoran has made demand but that filing the latest lawsuit was necessary to prevent the claims from being barred by the statute of limitations. The Gamoran III complaint names the Trust as a nominal defendant and although it apparently does not seek a judgment against International, there may be circumstances in which International could be called upon to indemnify certain defendants. A full statement of plaintiff's claims and the relief sought are set forth in the Gamoran III complaint. Defendants subsequently moved to dismiss the Gamoran III complaint. In his brief opposing defendants' motion to dismiss, plaintiff indicated that he does not intend to pursue his putative class claims. |
| The committee named by the Trust's Board to evaluate the claims in plaintiff's May 2011 demand letter recommended that the Board decline to pursue those claims, and the board adopted that recommendation. On March 16, 2012, counsel to the committee transmitted a letter to Mr. Gamoran's counsel notifying Mr. Gamoran of the Board's decision. On June 12, 2012, the Court entered an order dismissing the Gamoran III complaint. Among other things, the Court rejected Gamoran's arguments that his claims under 18 U.S.C. §1955(a) and 1962(c)-(d) were exempt from the demand requirement and that the Board took too long to respond to Gamoran's demand. The Court further held that, in light of the Board's refusal of Gamoran's demand, the Gamoran III complaint addressed outdated circumstances in that it was predicated on the assumption that the Board had not responded to Gamoran's demand. The Court permitted Gamoran to file an amended complaint alleging that the Board's refusal of his demand was not protected by the business judgment rule. On July 16, 2012, Gamoran filed an amended derivative complaint repeating many of his earlier allegations and including allegations that the Board had wrongfully refused his demand. On August 24, 2012, defendants moved to dismiss. For the period ended August 31, 2012, the litigation, demand investigation and related fees recorded in the Statements of Operations were $1,146,378. The Trust, on behalf of International, has filed a claim under its insurance policy for reimbursement of certain litigation expenses. As of August 31, 2012, the Trust, on behalf of International, has received $297,880 in insurance proceeds. Although there is no assurance as to whether or to what extent the insurance carrier will continue to pay on this claim, the Trust is hopeful that insurance proceeds may continue to offset a portion of its defensive litigation expenses. Costs of the demand investigation are not currently anticipated to be covered by the Trust's insurance policy. |
Note H—Recent Accounting Pronouncement:
| In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2011-11"). Effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, ASU 2011-11 is intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. At this time, Management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements. |

Notes to Financial Highlights
†† | Total return based on per share NAV reflects the effects of changes in NAV on the performance of each Fund during each fiscal period. Returns assume income dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested and do not reflect the effect of sales charges. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current returns may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment returns and principal may fluctuate and shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than original cost. For each Fund, total return would have been lower if Management had not reimbursed and/or waived certain expenses. Total return would have been higher if Management had not recouped previously reimbursed expenses. Except for Mid Cap Intrinsic Value, no Fund's total returns were impacted by class action proceeds as listed in Note A-4 to the Financial Statements. Had Mid Cap Intrinsic Value not received the class actions proceeds, total return based on per share NAV for the year ended August 31, 2012 would have been 12.48%, 12.34%, 12.86% and 12.16% for Investor Class, Trust Class, Institutional Class and Class R3, respectively. |
b | On August 30, 2011, Management made a voluntary contribution to International in connection with an administrative matter affecting the timing of a trade and had a 1.05%, 1.07%, 0.91% and 0.91% impact on total return for Investor Class, Trust Class, Class A and Class C, respectively. |
‡‡ | On June 9, 2008, Equity Income's Trust Class was converted into the Fund's Institutional Class. The financial information of the Fund's Institutional Class includes the financial information of Trust Class shares. Because the Trust Class had moderately higher expenses, its performance typically would have been slightly lower than the Institutional Class. |
‡‡‡ | On December 21, 2009, Multi-Cap Opportunities' Trust Class was converted into the Fund's Institutional Class. The financial information of the Fund's Institutional Class includes the financial information of Trust Class shares. The Trust Class had equivalent capped expenses and, therefore, typically similar returns to the Institutional Class. |
‡‡‡‡ | On April 19, 2010, Value's Trust Class was converted into the Fund's Institutional Class. The financial information of the Fund's Institutional Class includes the financial information of Trust Class shares. Because the Trust Class had moderately higher expenses, its performance typically would have been slightly lower than the Institutional Class. |
††† | During the period from November 2, 2006 through June 9, 2008, Equity Income's Trust Class had only one investor, which could have impacted Fund performance. On June 9, 2008, the Fund's Trust Class was converted into the Fund's Institutional Class and the Institutional Class was opened to the public. The total return of the Fund's Institutional Class includes the performance of the former Trust Class. |
