TURNER FUNDS 2004 ANNUAL REPORT 1 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS More often than not the stock market is no respecter of calendars. The market frequently refuses to behave with an orderly consistency over any standard short period of time -- such as the 12-month period ended September 30, 2004, that's the subject of this letter. The S&P 500 Index gained 13.87% during that period, but it was hardly a smooth, steady climb. Rather, the return was the product of a significant initial ascent and a subsequent prolonged modest decline: the S&P 500 Index rose a robust 17.02% in the first 134 days of the period, then fell 2.23% in the remaining 231 days. The split personality of the market during the past 12 months reflected a distinct change in investor sentiment that had an impact on the performance of most of our stock funds. Early on, optimism about stocks' return potential prevailed, based on a strengthening economy and strengthening corporate earnings that exceeded the expectations of Wall Street analysts. But then that sentiment soured, as investors questioned whether changing top-down and bottom-up conditions were threatening the sustainability of the bull market that began in October 2002. They found no lack of reasons to justify their doubts. The bull market was in danger of faltering, they said, because of a slowing economy, a peak in earnings growth, the Federal Reserve's interest-rate hikes, oil prices rising to a 21-year high, the Iraq quagmire, the specter of new terrorist attacks, uncertainty about the outcome of the Bush-Kerry presidential race, and an increased incidence of disappointing earnings forecasts. OUR FUNDS DID WELL IN THE UP PHASE Our own nine stock funds -- especially our growth and sector/specialty funds -- generally flourished when the market was rising and tailed off when the market was falling during the period. As sentiment curdled, the market became increasingly oblivious to earnings and other fundamentals, which worked to the disadvantage of our growth and sector/specialty funds. Those funds emphasize stocks of companies with above-average earnings prospects, and those type of stocks were largely out of favor, all of a sudden. Valuations -- not fundamentals -- became all-important; value stocks, which are perceived to be relatively safe, markedly outperformed growth stocks, which are perceived to be relatively volatile. For instance, from January to September, the Russell 1000 Value Index gained 5.54%, beating its growth counterpart by 8.17 percentage points. Meanwhile, the fundamentals of the companies owned by our growth and sector/specialty funds were remarkably strong. Across the board, our holdings were expected by a consensus of Wall Street analysts to increase their earnings per share by more than 20% over the next 12 months, versus growth rates in the mid- to high-teens for most companies in our funds' target indexes. But for some of our funds, the strong prospective earnings power of our holdings failed to translate into favorable results during the market's down phase. That has generally been the case for our growth and sector/specialty funds: the funds tend to underperform in falling markets and tend to do best in flat and rising markets. One other point bears mentioning: our growth and sector/specialty funds produced strong returns early in the period in no small part because we stuck with our growth-investing process after having endured a brutal bear market from 2000 to 2002. Because we knew that bear markets don't last forever and because we stayed true to our process, our growth and sector/specialty funds were positioned to capitalize fully on the advance of the market that finally occurred. In contrast, some growth managers turned cautious at almost exactly the wrong time, lightening their holdings in technology and other growth sectors during the bear market and thus failing to deliver the kind of strong returns expected of them in the subsequent rally. FOUR FUNDS OUTPERFORM On balance, four of our nine funds -- the Turner Micro Cap Growth Fund, the Turner Small Cap Growth Fund, the Turner Technology Fund, and the Turner Small Cap Equity Fund -- outperformed their indices. The market's bias toward value stocks proved particularly advantageous to our core fund, Small Cap Equity, which invests in both value and growth stocks and which generated the highest total return of any of our funds during the period. Also enhancing Small Cap Equity's results were good stock selection and the relative strength of smaller stocks versus their larger brethren. 2 TURNER FUNDS 2004 ANNUAL REPORT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- September 2004 Here are the specific returns for each of our funds and their indices in the past 12 months. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL RETURNS 12-month period ended September 30, 2004 GROWTH FUNDS: TURNER DISCIPLINED LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND 4.64% Russell Top 200 Growth Index 5.93 TURNER LARGE CAP GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND 5.67 Russell Top 200 Growth Index 5.93 TURNER MICRO CAP GROWTH FUND 23.54 Russell 2000 Growth Index 11.92 TURNER MIDCAP GROWTH FUND, CLASS I SHARES 7.42 Russell Midcap Growth Index 13.68 TURNER SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND 12.98 Russell 2000 Growth Index 11.92 SECTOR/SPECIALTY FUNDS: TURNER CONCENTRATED GROWTH FUND (3.80) S&P 500 Index 13.87 TURNER NEW ENTERPRISE FUND 4.15 NASDAQ Composite Index 6.70 TURNER TECHNOLOGY FUND 4.52 Goldman Sachs Technology Composite Index 1.87 CORE FUND: TURNER SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND 24.75 Russell 2000 Index 18.77 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- See Total returns of Turner Funds, page 6. For an analysis of the performance of all nine of our funds, see the Investment Review beginning on page 8. Needless to say, we will continue to stick to our investment disciplines, despite the mixed results of our growth and sector/specialty funds over the past 12 months. There is a rhythm to investing, and it flows and ebbs. When it flows again, for instance, we think our growth-investment process can reap the kind of market-beating results that growth stocks are justly known for. If the history of the stock market has proven nothing else, it's that changes in earnings do bring about changes in stock prices sooner or later. When that happens, earnings expectations inevitably rise and deliver an upswing in share prices of the companies that meet or exceed those expectations. By sticking to the same investment processes for our growth, sector/specialty, and core funds that we have in the past, we think those funds will be primed to fully exploit the upswing when it does materialize. WHEN WILL THE BULL MARKET RESUME? Since the stock market is no respecter of calendars, we don't know exactly when fundamentals will matter again and when bullishness will prevail again. But we think the bull market is by no means over just yet; we anticipate the market could snap out of its lackluster performance for the year-to-date and rally sooner rather than later -- possibly as soon as the fourth quarter and early 2005. We regard 2004 as something of a cooling-off period for the stock market after it set such a torrid pace in 2003. In our judgment, now that the market has caught its breath, it may be ready to resume going up. We think better times are ahead soon for stocks because the economic recovery is likely to continue and corporate profits, despite what will undoubtedly be some prominent anomalies, may be stronger than expected. For their part, Wall Street analysts expect the S&P 500 companies to report increases in earnings per share of 14.3% over the next 12 months. We think stocks that offer especially good return potential now include those of staffing-services firms; security-software providers; makers of biotechnology products and broadband-communications systems; health-maintenance organizations; and firms in cyclical industries such as metals and industrial products that tend to perform well when the economic cycle is maturing. WE PLEDGE TO YOU OUR BEST EFFORTS In closing, we pledge to continue doing our best for you no matter whether the market goes up, down, or sideways. (The market is likely to do all three, given enough time.) We thank you for staying invested with us, so that we can have the privilege of doing our best for you. It's one thing in the abstract to endorse "staying the course" when one of our funds has produced a subpar return, as any fund inevitably will. It's another thing entirely to actually do it. And by and large, our fund shareholders have stayed the course with us, for which we are deeply grateful. We think it's the ultimate testimonial to your faith in us that, TURNER FUNDS 2004 ANNUAL REPORT 3 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- in a year that thus far has produced uninspiring equity returns, you entrusted us with additional assets to manage -- a net inflow of $33 million in the year-to-date through September 30. We think our role as an employee-owned firm that's focused on just one business - -- investment management -- in fact helps us to concentrate on doing our best for you. Because we are employee owned, our loyalties aren't divided by any obligations to a corporate parent or an outside owner. Throughout our history we have above all tried to practice the Golden Rule: we have sought to provide you with a level of investment performance that we ourselves would expect if we were in your shoes. (And in a very real sense, we are in your shoes: the money of our investing teams, as well as your money, is in our funds.) I look forward to reporting to you in future letters how well both you and we are faring in a stock market that may behave erratically in the short term (witness the ups and downs of the past 12 months) but that has acted more reliably over time (it has delivered gains in any period six years or longer since 1950). /S/BOB TURNER Bob Turner CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER TURNER INVESTMENT PARTNERS, ADVISER TO THE TURNER FUNDS [PHOTO OMITTED] Bob Turner 4 TURNER FUNDS 2004 ANNUAL REPORT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- September 2004 LIPPER INC.

The Russell Midcap Growth Index advanced 13.68%, a return superior to that of large-cap growth and small-cap growth indexes. But the Fund failed to keep pace, gaining 7.42%. Performance was hurt by subpar returns in three major sectors, financial services, consumer discretionary/services, and health care, with a combined weighting of 58%. Retail, medical-services, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, media, and financial-transaction-processing stocks detracted from results. Good relative returns in the technology sector, which amounted to 19% of the portfolio, contributed the most to results. Altogether, three of 10 sector positions outperformed their corresponding index sectors. Energy stocks were the Fund's biggest gainer, up more than 50%. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * These figures represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.

As a result the fund gained 12.98%, outdistancing the Russell 2000 Growth Index's 11.92% rise by 1.06 percentage points. The fund's health-care and autos/transportation stocks, a 25% weighting, performed best in relative terms, recording double-digit gains that represented substantial margins of outperformance over their index counterparts. Winners included biotechnology, medical-device, specialty-pharmaceutical, discount-airline, and motor-home stocks. An 8% position in producer-durables stocks, mainly semiconductor-capital-equipment shares, were a drag on performance. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * These figures represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.

The Turner Micro Cap Growth Fund did even better, producing a 23.54% gain that far outdistanced its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Fund's performance premium over the index's 11.92% return was 11.62 percentage points. The Fund's stock selection was good, with nine of 10 sector positions outperforming their corresponding index sectors. Health-care, financial-services, and energy holdings, a 38% weighting in aggregate, contributed the most to performance, each rising more than 30%. Specialty-pharmaceutical, managed-care, medical-equipment, banking, and energy-production stocks were especially strong. The sole detractor from performance were the fund's consumer-staples stocks, which lost money, compared with a gain for the index sector. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * These figures represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.

That return beat the Russell 2000 Index's 18.77% advance by 5.98 percentage points. The Fund is invested in both growth and value stocks, and its value holdings generally produced the highest returns. The greatest degree of outperformance was supplied by autos/transportation, utilities/communication, and materials/processing stocks, which represented 21% of the portfolio. All three of those positions were overweighted versus the index sectors. Energy and utility stocks produced the highest absolute returns, more than 80%. An underweighted 18% position in financial-services stocks hurt results the most; those stocks gained about two percentage points less than the index sector did. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * These figures represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.

Technology stocks soared in the first four months of the period, then declined sharply in the remaining five months. We took profits in some big winners early in the period, then sought to minimize the damage as tech shares almost uniformly fell 10% or more subsequently. Investors increasingly fretted that a slowing economy and muted capital spending would limit demand for tech products and services. Medical-technology, biotechnology, software, broadband-communications, and data-networking stocks did well. Financial-transaction-processing and semiconductor-capital-equipment shares lagged. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * These figures represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.

The Fund's holdings emphasize companies with the strongest growth prospects and above-average valuations, which were out of favor for much of the 12-month period ended September 30. Because of that emphasis, the Fund lost 3.80%, underperforming the S&P 500 Index's 13.87% gain by 17.67 percentage points. Most of the Fund's holdings were concentrated in the consumer-discretionary/services, health-care, and technology sectors. The technology holdings in particular didn't pan out; they were largely responsible for the Fund's performance shortfall, with computer-networking, semiconductor, and broadband-communications stocks faring worst. A 19% consumer-discretionary/services position, led by Internet, retailing, and staff-services stocks, contributed the most to results. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * These figures represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.

The Fund returned 4.15%, lagging the Nasdaq Composite Index's 6.70% result by 2.55 percentage points. The technology and consumer-discretionary/services positions accounted for 68% of the Fund's holdings and significantly underperformed the index sectors; the technology holdings lost 3% (versus a 6% gain for the index sector) and the consumer holdings rose 4% (versus a 20% gain for the index sector). Adding to performance were trucking, courier-service, energy-production, and oil-services stocks, which in aggregate generated returns of more than 90%.

All investments are made at the master level. This stucture is sometimes called a "master/feeder" structure. Prior to June 19, 2000, the Fund operated as a stand-alone investment company called the Turner Large Cap Growth Equity Fund. 56 & 57 TURNER FUNDS 2004 ANNUAL REPORT Ratio of net Net Ratio of Ratio of total investment assets end net expenses expenses income (loss) Portfolio Total of period to average to average to average turnover return (000) net assets++ net assets net assets++ rate+++ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Turner Disciplined Large Cap Growth Fund-- Class I Shares - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 4.64% $ 67,991 0.75% 0.94% 0.11% 165.94% 2003 32.01% $ 79,416 0.75% 0.97% 0.03% 201.35% 2002 (25.53)% $ 59,971 0.65% 0.90% -- % 272.99% 2001 (52.09)% $ 53,048 0.74% 1.03% (0.14)% 376.49% 2000 (1) (1.90)%+ $ 4,656 0.75% 3.35% (0.14)% 128.14% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Turner Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund-- Class I Shares(2) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2004 5.67% $ 4,430 1.25% 1.83% (0.70)% 262.01% 2003 41.88% $ 3,551 1.25% 1.53% (0.77)% 282.15% 2002 (26.86)% $ 4,847 1.26%(4) 5.98%(4) (0.71)% 391.98% 2001 (53.71)% $ 9,776 1.25%(4) 3.49%(4) (0.69)% 400.04% 2000 47.49% $ 41,555 0.84%(4) 1.37%(4) (0.71)% 131.19% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Turner Midcap Growth Fund -- Class I Shares - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2004 7.42% $ 857,899 1.16% 1.16% (0.84)% 167.17% 2003 41.80% $ 773,788 1.15% 1.18% (0.87)% 208.80% 2002 (20.80)% $ 561,244 1.05% 1.16% (0.81)% 259.62% 2001 (59.00)% $ 595,761 1.04% 1.12% (0.77)% 335.57% 2000 97.35% $1,203,756 1.03% 1.07% (0.68)% 306.97% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Turner Midcap Growth Fund -- Class II Shares - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2004 6.87% $ 1,395 1.66% 1.66% (1.35)% 167.17% 2003 41.11% $ 423 1.65% 1.68% (1.36)% 208.80% 2002 (21.19)% $ 102 1.55% 1.66% (1.25)% 259.62% 2001 (5) 0.64%+ $ 7 1.54% 1.95% (1.04)% 335.57% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Turner Small Cap Growth Fund -- Class I Shares - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2004 12.98% $ 237,213 1.25% 1.41% (0.95)% 151.02% 2003 49.60% $ 192,791 1.25% 1.41% (0.79)% 187.95% 2002 (19.36)% $ 144,181 1.25% 1.40% (0.99)% 188.34% 2001 (49.81)% $ 241,876 1.25% 1.40% (0.96)% 176.11% 2000 56.07% $ 528,928 1.25% 1.27% (0.93)% 203.01% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Turner Micro Cap Growth Fund -- Class I Shares - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2004 23.54% $ 366,692 1.40% 1.42% (0.85)% 122.45% 2003 29.15% $ 253,840 1.40% 1.44% (0.81)% 147.77% 2002 (0.12)% $ 178,130 1.31% 1.42% (0.88)% 88.89% 2001 (20.23)% $ 160,010 1.25% 1.40% (0.50)% 121.96% 2000 129.02% $ 187,107 1.25% 1.35% (0.79)% 179.08% (3) Based on average shares outstanding.

ORGANIZATION: Turner Funds (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company with nine active portfolios. The financial statements included herein are those of the Turner Disciplined Large Cap Growth Fund (the "Disciplined Large Cap Growth Fund"), the Turner Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund (the "Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund"), the Turner Midcap Growth Fund (the "Midcap Growth Fund"), the Turner Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Small Cap Growth Fund"), the Turner Micro Cap Growth Fund (the "Micro Cap Growth Fund"), the Turner Small Cap Equity Fund, (the "Small Cap Equity Fund"), the Turner Technology Fund (the "Technology Fund"), the Turner Concentrated Growth Fund (the "Concentrated Growth Fund") and the Turner New Enterprise Fund (the "New Enterprise Fund"), each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds." Each Fund is registered as a diversified portfolio of the Trust with the exception of the Disciplined Large Cap Growth Fund, the Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund and the Concentrated Growth Fund, each of which are non-diversified. The Funds are registered to offer different classes of shares: Class I Shares, Class II Shares, or both. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Funds' prospectus provides a description of each Fund's investment objectives, policies, and strategies along with information on the classes of shares currently being offered. As of September 30, 2004, the Turner International Opportunities Fund and the Turner International Discovery Fund are also registered as diversified portfolios of the Trust, but have not yet commenced operations. The Micro Cap Growth and Small Cap Growth Funds were closed to new investors on March 7, 2000 and July 31, 2004 respectively. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. SECURITY VALUATION--Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ) are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents.If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker. Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Funds' Board of Trustees (the "Board"). The Funds' Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the "Committee") designated by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been delisted from a national exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; or the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME--Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold during the respective holding period. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the custodian bank until the respective agreements mature. Provisions of the repurchase agreements ensure that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is not less than 100%. In the event of default of the counterparty and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited. EXPENSES--Expenses that are specifically attributed to one of the Funds are charged to that Fund. Certain other expenses of the Funds are prorated among the Funds on the basis of relative daily net assets. Other 60 TURNER FUNDS 2004 ANNUAL REPORT common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Funds on the basis of relative daily net assets. CLASSES--Class specific expenses are borne by that class. Income, non-class specific expenses and realized/unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the respective classes on the basis of the relative daily net assets. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS--The Funds declare and distribute net investment income, if any, annually, as a dividend to shareholders. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities for all Funds are distributed to shareholders at least annually. 3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES: Certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are also officers of Turner Investment Partners, Inc. ("Turner") and SEI Investments Global Funds Services ("SEI") and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers and trustees of the Trust.

For its services, SEI Investments Distribution Co. received $1,769 for the year ended September 30, 2004. Effective October 24, 2003, this Agreement was discontinued. Prior to March 15, 2004, Turner Investment Distributors, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Turner, was the distributor for the Funds. Pursuant to separate distribution and shareholder servicing agreements, Class II shares of the MidCap Growth Fund and Small Cap Equity Fund paid Turner Investment Distributors, Inc. $591 and $20,736, respectively.

The Disciplined Large Cap Growth, Large Cap Growth Opportunities, Midcap Growth, Small Cap Equity and Concentrated Growth Funds have adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan for their Class II Shares (the "Class II Plan"). Under the Class II Plan, a Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Distributor is entitled to receive aggregate fees not exceeding 0.75% of each Fund's Class II Shares' average daily net assets in return for providing a broad range of distribution services.

Pursuant to an Advisory Agreement dated February 28, 2002, Turner Investment Management, LLC, an affiliate of Turner serves as the investment adviser for the Small Cap Equity Fund. TURNER FUNDS 2004 ANNUAL REPORT 61 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For its services, Turner and Turner Investment Management, LLC receive annual fees, which are calculated daily and paid monthly, based on average daily net assets. Turner and Turner Investment Management, LLC have agreed to waive all or a portion of their fees and to reimburse expenses in order to limit operating expenses to a specified percentage of the average daily net assets of certain Funds on an annualized basis. These waivers and reimbursements may be terminated at any time. Accordingly, the advisory fee and expense caps for certain funds are as follows: TOTAL ADVISORY EXPENSE FEES CAP ----- ------ Disciplined Large Cap Growth Fund 0.60% 0.75% Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund 0.75 1.25 Midcap Growth Fund 0.75 1.25(1) Small Cap Growth Fund 1.00 1.25 Micro Cap Growth Fund 1.00 1.40 Small Cap Equity Fund(2) 0.85 1.35 (1) REPRESENTS MAXIMUM EXPENSE RATIO FOR CLASS I SHARES WHERE FUNDS OFFER BOTH CLASS I SHARES AND CLASS II SHARES. (2) TURNER MANAGEMENT, LLCHAS CONTRACTUALLY AGREED TO REDUCE THE ADVISORY FEE BY 0.10% FROM 0.95% TO 0.85% AND TO KEEP "OTHER" EXPENSES FROM EXCEEDING 0.25% THROUGH JANUARY 31, 2005. For the remaining Funds, the advisory fee is comprised of a base fee and a performance adjustment that increases or decreases the total fee depending upon the performance of the Fund relative to the Fund's performance benchmark. The Fund's base fee is accrued daily and paid monthly, based on average net assets during the performance period. The performance period consists of the current month plus the previous 11 months. The performance adjustment is calculated and paid monthly by comparing the Fund's performance to that of the Fund's performance benchmark over the 12-month period. The annual performance adjustment is multiplied by the average net assets of the Fund over the entire performance period, which is then multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the month and the denominator of which is 365 (366 in leap years). The resulting amount is then added to (in the case of overperformance) or subtracted from (in the case of underperformance) the base fee. In cases where the advisory fee is comprised of a base fee and a performance adjustment, Turner has voluntarily agreed to waive all or a portion of their fees and to reimburse expenses in order to keep such Fund's "other expenses" (excluding distribution fees) from exceeding a specified percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund on an annualized basis. Accordingly, the base advisory fee, annual adjustment rate, over/under performance relative to the benchmark threshold, and other expense cap are as follows: BASE ANNUAL OTHER ADVISORY ADJUSTMENT BENCHMARK EXPENSES FEE RATE THRESHOLD(1) CAP ------ ------- --------- ------- Technology Fund 1.10% +/-0.40% +/-2.00% 0.50% Concentrated Growth Fund 1.10 +/-0.40 +/-2.50 0.25 New Enterprise Fund 1.10 +/-0.40 +/-2.50 0.25 (1) SEE THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS AND STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THE FUNDS' PERFORMANCE BENCHMARK. During the year ended September 30, 2004, the Funds' advisory fees were adjusted in accordance with the policy described above: BASE NET ADVISER ADVISER PERFORMANCE FEE BEFORE FEE ADJUSTMENT WAIVERS ------- ---------- -------- Technology Fund $226,808 $ 22,055 $248,863 Concentrated Growth Fund 527,838 43,153 570,991 New Enterprise Fund 198,466 (26,044) 172,422 6.

FEDERAL TAX POLICIES AND INFORMATION: Each of the Funds is classified as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each of the Funds intends to continue to qualify as a separate "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code and make the requisite distributions to shareholders that will be sufficient to relieve it from Federal income tax and Federal excise tax. Therefore, no Federal tax provision is required. To the extent that distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains exceed amounts reported in the financial statements, such amounts are reported separately. The amounts of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either 62 TURNER FUNDS 2004 ANNUAL REPORT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- temporary or permanent in nature. These differences are primarily due to wash sales. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains, and the timing of distributions where the fiscal year in which the amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Fund. To the extent these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences have been reclassified to/from the following accounts during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 (000): UNDISTRIBUTED ACCUMULATED FUND NET INVESTMENT INCOME NET REALIZED GAIN/(LOSS) PAID-IN-CAPITAL - ----- --------------------- ------------------------ --------------- Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund $ 33 $ -- $ (33) Midcap Growth Fund 7,574 -- (7,574) Small Cap Growth Fund 2,148 -- (2,148) Micro Cap Growth Fund 2,886 (2,886) -- Small Cap Equity Fund 52 (3,104) 3,052 Technology Fund 309 -- (309) Concentrated Growth Fund 475 -- (475) New Enterprise Fund 150 -- (150) The tax character of dividends and distributions declared during the periods ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 were as follows (000): ORDINARY LONG-TERM RETURN OF INCOME CAPITAL GAIN CAPITAL TOTAL --------- ------------ --------- -------- Disciplined Large Cap Growth Fund 2004 $ 87 $ -- $-- $ 87 2003 3 -- -- 3 Micro Cap Growth Fund 2004 330 6,184 -- 6,514 2003 -- -- -- -- Small Cap Equity Fund 2004 1,006 310 51 1,367 2003 6 -- -- 6 As of September 30, 2004, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows (000): TOTAL DISTRIBUTABLE UNDISTRIBUTED UNDISTRIBUTED CAPITAL POST- EARNINGS ORDINARY LONG-TERM LOSS OCTOBER UNREALIZED (ACCUMULATED INCOME CAPITAL GAIN CARRYFORWARD LOSSES APPRECIATION LOSSES) -------------- ------------- ------------ ------- ------------ ------------ Disciplined Large Cap Growth Fund $ 41 $ -- $ (30,532) $ -- $ 7,379 $ (23,112) Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund -- -- (13,390) -- 350 (13,040) Midcap Growth Fund -- -- (611,073) -- 96,991 (514,082) Small Cap Growth Fund -- -- (153,296) -- 29,443 (123,853) Micro Cap Growth Fund 3,460 35,481 -- -- 70,408 109,349 Small Cap Equity Fund -- -- -- (200) 1,843 1,643 Technology Fund -- -- (130,561) -- 435 (130,126) Concentrated Growth Fund -- -- (157,347) (3,566) 427 (160,486) New Enterprise Fund -- -- (8,383) (2,194) 914 (9,663) Post-October losses represent losses realized on investment transactions from November 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004 that, in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, a Fund may elect to defer and treat as having arisen in the following year.

At September 30,2004, the total cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the securities held by the Funds were as follows (000): NET FEDERAL UNREALIZED UNREALIZED UNREALIZED FUND TAX COST APPRECIATION DEPRECIATION APPRECIATION - ---- -------- ------------ ------------ ------------ Disciplined Large Cap Growth Fund $ 64,443 $ 8,235 $ (856) $ 7,379 Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund 4,172 421 (71) 350 Midcap Growth Fund 814,351 118,499 (21,508) 96,991 Small Cap Growth Fund 237,544 37,432 (7,989) 29,443 Micro Cap Growth Fund 457,748 78,113 (7,705) 70,408 Small Cap Equity Fund 30,059 2,270 (427) 1,843 Technology Fund 16,148 1,440 (1,005) 435 Concentrated Growth Fund 41,207 2,462 (2,035) 427 New Enterprise Fund 11,691 1,261 (347) 914 8. CONCENTRATIONS/RISKS: Certain Funds invest a high percentage of their assets in specific sectors of the market in order to achieve a potentially greater investment return. As a result, the Funds may be more susceptible to economic, political, and regulatory developments in a particular sector of the market, positive or negative, and may experience increased volatility on the Fund's net asset value and magnified effect on the total return. The Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote. 9. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES: The Funds may lend securities in their portfolio pursuant to a securities lending agreement ("Lending Agreement") with Goldman Sachs & Co. Unless otherwise agreed, security loans made pursuant to the Lending Agreement are required at all times to be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% of the market value of the securities loaned. Cash collateral received is invested pursuant to the terms of the Lending Agreement in the Boston Global Investment Trust -- Quality Portfolio, a pooled investment fund. All such investments are made at the risk of the Funds and, as such, the Funds are liable for investment losses. The Funds receive an annual fee for their participation in the Lending Agreement based on projected lending activity. In the event of bankruptcy of the borrower, realization/retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. 10. IN-KIND TRANSFER OF SECURITIES: On June 24, 2004, the shareholders of the Small Cap Equity Fund redeemed 2,313,555 shares of beneficial interest in exchange for portfolio assets. The securities were transferred at their current value of $28,634,186 on the date of the transaction with a gain of $3,104,328. 64 TURNER FUNDS 2004 ANNUAL REPORT <page> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (UNAUDITED) Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") was replaced as the Turner Funds' (the "Trust") independent auditors effective November 19, 2004. The Trust's Audit Committee participated in, and approved, the decision to change auditors. E&Y's report on the Trust's financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Trust's fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 and through November 19, 2004, (i) there were no disagreements with E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Trust's financial statements for such years, and (ii) there were no "reportable events" of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On November 19, 2004, the Trust by action of its Board of Trustees upon the recommendation of the Trust's Audit Committee engaged KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Trust's financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2005. During the Trust's fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 and through November 19, 2004, neither the Trust, its portfolios nor anyone on their behalf has consulted with KPMG LLP on items which (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Trust's financial statements; or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of said Item 304). TURNER FUNDS 2004 ANNUAL REPORT 65 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES TURNER FUNDS We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of Turner Disciplined Large Cap Growth Fund, Turner Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund, Turner Midcap Growth Fund, Turner Small Cap Growth Fund, Turner Micro Cap Growth Fund, Turner Small Cap Equity Fund, and Turner Technology Fund and the statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Turner Concentrated Growth Fund and Turner New Enterprise Fund, (collectively, the "Turner Funds") as of September 30, 2004, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented therein, except the financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000 for the Turner Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000 for the Turner Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 13, 2001 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective portfolios constituting the Turner Funds at September 30, 2004, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the periods presented therein, except for the financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 2001 for the Turner Large Cap Growth Opportunities Fund which were audited by other auditors, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. /S/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP Philadelphia, Pennsylvania November 3, 2004 66 TURNER FUNDS 2004 ANNUAL REPORT NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For shareholders that do not have a September 30th, 2004 tax year end, this notice is for informational purposes only.

TURNER FUNDS 2004 ANNUAL REPORT 69 DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a fund, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for portfolio management, distribution (12B-1) and/or shareholder services and other expenses. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns. Operating expenses such as these are deducted from the fund's gross income and directly reduce your final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the fund's average net assets; this percentage is known as the fund's expense ratio. The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period. The table below illustrates your fund's costs in two ways: o ACTUAL FUND RETURN. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your fund incurred over the period. The "Expenses Paid During Period" column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the fund, and the "Ending Account Value" number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the fund's gross investment return. You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your fund under "Expenses Paid During Period". o HYPOTHETICAL 5% RETURN. This section helps you compare your fund's costs with those of other mutual funds. It provides information about hypothetical account values and expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio (column 3) and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund's actual return. This section is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your fund's comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your fund in the "Expense Paid During Period" column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds. NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes -- NOT your fund's actual return -- the hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate your actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert. The Board of Trustees of the Turner Funds has determined that the Board's Audit Committee does not have an "audit committee financial expert," as the Securities and Exchange Commission has defined that term. After carefully considering all of the factors involved in the definition of "audit committee financial expert," the Board determined that none of the members of the audit committee met all five qualifications in the definition, although some members of the Audit Committees met some of the qualifications. The Board also determined that while the Audit Committee members have general financial expertise, given the size and types of the Turner Funds and in light of the nature of the accounting and valuation issues they have presented over the past several years, it did not appear that the Audit Committee members lacked any necessary skill to serve on the Audit Committee.
