accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies'

NOTES TO COMBINED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     The financial statements reflect the combination of Friess Associates,
     Inc. and Friess Associates of Delaware, Inc. (together, the "Company").
     The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as
     an investment advisor (under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940) and
     with various state regulatory agencies. It provides investment advisory
     services to employee benefit plans, nonprofit organizations, individuals
     and affiliated mutual funds.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
     management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
     statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
     reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Principles of Combination

     Material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
     combination.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Short-term investments which have a maturity of 90 days or less at the
     date of purchase are considered cash equivalents.

     Revenue Recognition

     The Company's revenues are derived from management and advisory fees
     earned from services provided. For institutional and private accounts,
     fees are generally billed quarterly and are calculated as a percentage
     of actual assets under management at the beginning of the calendar
     quarter. For mutual fund clients, fees are billed monthly and are
     calculated as a percentage of the fund's average daily net assets.

     Investments

     The Company classifies all of its investments in marketable securities as
     available for sale. Investments in this classification are reported at
     their current market value with net unrealized gains or losses being
     added to or deducted from comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses
     are determined on the highest cost method.

     Furniture, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

     Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, less
     accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided on a
     straight-line basis over the related asset's estimated useful life.
     Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the
     lease or their estimated useful lives. Upon sale or retirement, the cost
     of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from
     the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is included in
     operations.


                                          6
<Page>

     Deferred Compensation Arrangements

     In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion Number 12, the
     expense for these arrangements is being recognized over the period of
     expected benefit.

     Investment in Limited Partnership

     The Company has invested $109,800 for a non-marketable minority interest
     in a privately held Limited Partnership that is reported on the
     financial statements as an asset at its original cost.

     Income Taxes

     The Company is subject to the provisions specified under Subchapter S of
     the Internal Revenue Code, which provide for the income of the Company to
     be taxed at the shareholder level. Consequently, the Company has not
     included a provision for federal or state income taxes in its
     historical financial statements. A pro forma income tax provision
     has been provided assuming the Company was organized as a Subchapter C
     Corporation.

INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES

     The Brandywine, Brandywine Blue, and Brandywine Advisors Funds are
     mutual funds of which an officer of the Company is a director and for
     which the Company serves as the Investment Advisor. These funds comprise
     all of the marketable securities owned by the Company at December 31,
     2000. The investments are recorded at fair market value.

COMBINED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Basis of Presentation

On June 1, 2001, Friess Associates, Inc. and Friess Associates of Delaware,
Inc. contributed the majority of their assets and liabilities to Friess
Associates, LLC and Friess Associates of Delaware, LLC, two newly formed
Limited Liability Companies (each, an "LLC"), in exchange for a participating
interest in the LLCs. On October 31, 2001, Affiliated Managers Group, Inc.
("AMG") purchased a 51% interest in each LLC.

The unaudited financial statements presented as of and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 reflect the combination of Friess Associates, Inc., Friess
Associates of Delaware, Inc., Friess Associates, LLC, and Friess Associates of
Delaware, LLC (collectively, "Friess Associates"). The combined financial
statements of Friess Associates have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The year-end
condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but
does not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have
been included. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the full year. The Combined Audited
Financial Statements of Friess Associates, Inc. and Friess Associates of
Delaware, Inc. as of and for the Year Ended December 31, 2000, includes
additional information about Friess Associates, its operations, and its
financial position.

                         AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.
             UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                 INTRODUCTION

        On October 31, 2001, Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. ("AMG") acquired
a 51% equity interest in Friess Associates, LLC and Friess Associates of
Delaware, LLC (collectively, "Friess") for approximately $241.0 million, a
transaction with related acquisition costs of approximately $2.6 million. AMG
financed the transaction with working capital and borrowings under its senior
revolving credit facility ("Credit Facility").

        The following tables set forth AMG's pro forma consolidated
statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 and the pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of
September 30, 2001. The pro forma statements of income reflect the combined
results of AMG and Friess as if the Friess investment occurred on January 1,
2000. The pro forma statements of income also assume AMG's two 2001 financing
transactions (further described in Note (F) of the pro forma statements of
income) were completed on January 1, 2000. The pro forma statements of income
reflect the application of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 and 142
(FAS 141 and FAS 142) to the Friess investment. The pro forma balance sheet
reflects the combined financial position of AMG and Friess, after giving
effect to the investment in Friess and AMG's recent issuance of mandatory
convertible securities, assuming these events occurred on September 30, 2001.

        The investment in Friess will be accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting, whereby the excess of purchase price over the fair
value of assets acquired, including acquired client relationships, is
classified as goodwill. In these pro forma financial statements, we have
assumed an allocation of our purchase price as follows: $7.2 million of
tangible net assets, $15.0 million of other intangible assets subject to
amortization, $80.0 million of indefinite life other intangible assets, and
goodwill of $141.9 million. The allocation of the purchase price assumed in
the preparation of the pro forma balance sheet and the amortization periods
assumed in the preparation of the pro forma income statements are based on
preliminary estimates, and are therefore subject to change based upon the
final valuation.

        The pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with AMG's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 and
Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The pro forma
consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes
only and are not intended to be indicative of the results that would have
occurred if the transactions had occurred on the dates indicated or which may
be realized in the future.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2001
reflects the following adjustments:

                (A)     Adjustments to long-term senior debt and cash to
                        reflect a borrowing from AMG's Credit Facility and
                        the use of cash for the payment of the purchase price.

                (B)     Allocation of the purchase price, net of tangible
                        assets, to intangible assets.

                (C)     Elimination of Friess' equity.

                (D)     Adjustments to cash and long-term debt to reflect the
                        issuance of mandatory convertible securities (described
                        below in Note (F)). AMG used the net proceeds of the
                        offering to reduce the balance of its Credit Facility
                        and for other corporate purposes.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the year ended
December 31, 2000 and the nine months ended September 30, 2001 reflect the
following adjustments:

                (A)     Adjustment to compensation expense to give effect to the
                        contractually agreed upon expenses of Friess.

                (B)     Amortization of intangible assets recorded for the
                        investment in Friess. An estimated $15,000 of
                        amortizable acquired client relationships are assumed
                        to be amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.

                (C)     Increase to interest expense for the $83,000 drawn on
                        the Credit Facility to finance the investment. The
                        Credit Facility is variable-rate debt; the effect on
                        interest expense of a 1/8% variance in the interest
                        rate is $104 for the year ended December 31, 2000 and
                        $78 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

                (D)     Increase in minority interest to give effect to the
                        revenue sharing agreement with Friess.

                (E)     Income tax expense of 40% on the net earnings of Friess
                        as adjusted for Notes (A) through (D). Previously, no
                        income taxes were recorded by Friess.

                (F)     Pro forma adjustments for financing transactions:

                            (i)       adjustment to interest income for the
                                      pro forma cash balance as of September
                                      30, 2001;

                            (ii)      adjustment to interest expense to reflect
                                      $25,000 outstanding on the Credit Facility
                                      on a pro forma basis;

                            (iii)     adjustment to interest expense to reflect
                                      the issuance of zero-coupon convertible
                                      senior notes as if such issuance had
                                      occurred on January 1, 2000. In May 2001,
                                      AMG issued zero-coupon senior convertible
                                      notes due 2021 with a principal amount at
                                      maturity of $251,000. Each security was
                                      issued at 90.50% of the principal amount
                                      at maturity and accretes at a rate of
                                      0.50% annually;

                            (iv)      adjustment to interest expense to reflect
                                      the recent issuance of 9,200,000 mandatory
                                      convertible securities as if such
                                      issuance had occurred on January 1,
                                      2000. The securities were priced at $25
                                      per unit, generating gross proceeds of
                                      $230,000, and initially consist of units
                                      including (i) a purchase contract under
                                      which the holder will purchase shares of
                                      AMG's common stock on November 17, 2004
                                      and (ii) 6.0% senior notes due November
                                      17, 2006;

                            (v)       the tax effect of the above.
