POLYNOUS GROWTH FUND
ANNUAL REPORT
July 31, 2000
Polynous Capital Management, Inc., Investment Adviser
415-956-3384
<PAGE>
Dear Shareholder,
The Fund's fiscal year ending July 31, 2000 was a contrast between two very
different investing environments.
As previously reported to you in the Fund's most recent semi-annual report for
the period ending January 31, 2000, the first half of the fiscal year was
marked by an extremely speculative market environment. In such an environment,
the Fund's focus on fundamentals and attractive valuations resulted in the
Fund investing in companies that were not popular in comparison with the
internet-oriented stocks that were seducing many other investors.
The second half of the fiscal year, however, has been more productive as the
speculative internet bubble has now burst. Although returns for the second
half of the year were not substantial, the Fund's second half return of 4.4
percent did exceed the Russell 2000 small stock index return of 1.3 percent
during that period. In any case, given that many internet related stocks have
now declined over 75 percent from their peak prices earlier this year, a
positive return during the most recent six months is a worthy accomplishment
during such a challenging market environment.
The previously reported negative performance during the first half of the year
did, however, result in the Fund having negative overall performance during
the full fiscal year. Full year performance was negative 14.7 percent which
compares unfavorably to the Russell 2000 index return of 13.8 percent during
the period. Although this has been a very challenging period for the Fund, I
do believe that a market environment that is now more grounded in reality will
enable the Fund's fundamentally-oriented investing process to be more
consistently productive.
One helpful aspect of the current environment is that good quality technology
stocks are now available in the market at much more reasonable valuations. One
of the advisor's traditional strengths has been technology investing but our
conservative valuation disciplines have not allowed us to blindly throw money
at technology companies priced at valuations anywhere from five-to-ten times
historical norms. At the end of the Fund's fiscal year, however, the Fund's
technology allocation had expanded to over 24 percent of the Fund. Additional
opportunistic purchases during August have also further increased the
technology portion of the Fund.
The highest sector allocation at the end of the fiscal year was in the
Consumer Services sector. Identifying attractive new retailing and other
consumer services concepts has long been a strength of the advisor. Some of
the stocks owned at the end of the period also provide useful examples of the
effectiveness of our fundamentally driven and opportunistic investment
approach. This sector's largest holding, Children's Place, is a rapidly
growing retailer of children's apparel for the ages of newborn through 12
years old. The company's very high return on investment produces very strong
cash flows that allow the company to grow around 30 percent annually without
needing any external financing. Earlier this year, however, post holiday
concerns about overall retail sales allowed the Fund to purchase this company
at less than 8-times the current year's projected earnings. As of the end of
July, the stock has now doubled since our purchase. The Fund's second largest
Consumer Services holding, Guitar Center, is currently growing over 20 percent
annually but our opportunistic investment approach enabled the Fund to
purchase this company at less than 10-times earnings. Guitar Center is growing
faster than any of its competitors and is now more than twice as large as the
second and third largest companies in its market segment. One fundamental
investment metric, sales per square foot, is more than 50 percent higher for
the company when compared to its major competitors and close to 100 percent
higher than overall industry averages. This has also been a productive holding
as, at the end of the fiscal year, the stock is up over 50 percent from its
cost.
<PAGE>
The two examples above are not, of course, a representative sample of the
Fund's entire portfolio but they do show the possible productivity of a
fundamentally oriented investing approach. The current market environment is
also one where I believe such an approach can thrive. The unwinding of the
internet bubble has left most market participants grasping for straws as to
what will be the next dominant market trend. The complexity and highly
competitive nature of our economy, however, is such that rarely are there
enduring market trends that the masses can exploit by blindly throwing money
at them. The reality of normal economic activity is that there is a continual
ebb and flow of improving and deteriorating fundamentals as economic
equilibrium is continually shifting between a company's competitors,
customers, and suppliers. Our fundamentally oriented research process analyzes
such continually changing trends and our opportunistic buy discipline is
oriented to exploiting such changes when we find good quality, well-positioned
companies selling at attractive valuations.
Our current economic outlook also supports our view that a focused and
opportunistic investment approach will be productive. The U.S. economy is
still exhibiting stable growth even though this is now the longest economic
expansion in U.S. history. Growth rates appear to be slowing a bit, however,
which will accelerate shifts in the balance of relative fundamentals between
companies. At the same time, our relatively low inflation and extremely
competitive economy will reward the better quality companies on which we focus
and which are typically the low-cost providers and competitive leaders in
their industries. As stated earlier, we are heartened that good quality
technology companies are now available at attractive prices because such
companies are a principal driver of the economic advantages currently enjoyed
by the U.S. economy. Overall economic productivity measures continue to be
very high and are enabled by the continuous virtuous circle of innovation and
competition that is fundamental in the Technology sector. Although growth
rates outside the U.S. appear to be slowing more than in the U.S., I still
feel confident that the overall strength of U.S. economic productivity will
sustain positive growth in our economy. In such an environment, although
overall economic fundamentals are still positive, more rapidly changing trends
should provide a very positive environment for our opportunistic investment
approach.
In closing, I would like to thank you for your continued support of our Fund.
Although the first half of the most recent year was quite challenging, the
positive trends of the second half make me believe that the investing
environment will now be much more productive for our investment process. Also,
if you would ever like a more personal update, please feel free to call our
offices as I am usually always happy to give a current view of our investment
activities.
Yours truly,
/s/ Kevin L. Wenck

Polynous Growth Fund
Notes to Financial Statements July 31, 2000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
Polynous Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware business trust
pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated April 10, 1996. The Trust is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end,
diversified management investment company. The Trust is organized to offer
separate series of shares and is currently offering a single series of shares
called Polynous Growth Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund is organized to offer
separate classes of shares and currently offers one class (Class A). The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies.
A. Security Valuation. Investments in securities traded on a national
securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price. Unlisted
securities, or listed securities in which there were no sales, are valued at
the mean of the closing bid and ask prices. When market quotations are not
readily available, securities and other assets are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term obligations
having a maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which the
Board of Trustees believes represents fair value.
B. Investment Income and Securities Transactions. Security transactions are
accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date).
Cost is determined and gains and losses are based on the identified cost basis
for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income
is reported on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are accrued
daily.
C. Organization Costs. Organization costs are being amortized on a straight
line basis over five years from commencement of operations.
D. Federal Income Taxes. It is the policy of the Fund to comply with all
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its
shareholders, therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
E. Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund will distribute substantially all
of its net investment income in December, and capital gains, if any, annually.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and
capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
F. Use of Estimates. In preparing financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Note 2 - Purchases and Sales of Securities
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term investments, totaled
$21,550,299 and $29,657,242 respectively, for the year ended July 31, 2000.
Note 3 - Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Polynous Capital Management, Inc. (the "Adviser"), a registered investment
adviser, provides the Fund with investment management services. For providing
investment advisory services, the Fund pays the Adviser an annual fee of 1.00%
of average daily net assets. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive its
fees to the extent total annualized fund operating expenses, inclusive of
distribution expenses, exceed
<PAGE>
Polynous Growth Fund
Notes to Financial Statements - continued July 31, 2000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.90% of the Fund's average daily net assets. This waiver is voluntary and can
be changed or dropped at any time with 60 days notice. For the year ended July
31, 2000, advisory fees of $101,869 were paid to the Adviser and the Adviser
reimbursed the Fund $222,408. The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the
"Plan"), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, which permits the Fund to pay certain expenses associated with the
distribution of its Class A shares. Effective July 1, 1999, the Plan provides
that the Fund will reimburse Polynous Securities, LLC (the "Distributor"), the
Fund's sole underwriter and distributor, for actual distribution and
shareholder servicing expenses incurred by the Distributor not exceeding, on
an annual basis, 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to
its Class A shares. For the year ended July 31, 2000 the Fund reimbursed the
Distributor $25,467 for distribution costs incurred. Certain officers and
trustees of the Fund are affiliated persons of the Adviser and the
Distributor. All officers serve without direct compensation from the Fund.
Note 4 - Federal Income Taxes
Permanent differences incurred by the Fund of $96,854 during the year ended
July 31, 2000, resulting from differences in book and tax accounting have been
reclassified at year end to paid in capital.
At July 31, 2000, the Fund had available for federal tax purposes an unused
capital loss carryforward of $5,090,459, of which $2,330,107 expires in 2007
and $2,760,352 expires in 2008. Capital loss carryforwards are available to
offset future realized capital gains. To the extent that these carryforwards
are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the amount which
is offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

Polynous Growth Fund
Independent Auditors' Report
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders,
Polynous Growth Fund
(a series of Polynous Trust):
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Polynous Growth Fund (the "Fund"), including the schedule of investments, as
of July 31, 2000, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the
periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2000, by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received
from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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
Polynous Growth Fund as of July 31, 2000, the results of its operations for
the year then ended, the changes in its net assets and financial highlights
for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
