(1)  Maximum sales load is not reflected in the total return calculation.
(2)  Annualized.
(3)  Not annualized.
(4)  Computed using average shares outstanding.

(5)  Distributions are made in accordance with the prospectus; however, class
     level per share income from investment operations may vary from anticipated
     results depending on the timing of share purchases and redemptions.
(6)  For the six months ended April 30, 1999, the ratio of operating expenses to
     average net assets excludes the effect of expense offsets for custodian
     fees; if expense offsets were included, the ratios would be 1.21% and 1.96%
     for Class A and Class B, respectively.

PHOENIX SERIES FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 1999 (UNAUDITED)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Phoenix Series Fund (the "Trust") is organized as a Massachusetts business
trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
a diversified, open-end management investment company. Each Fund has distinct
investment objectives. The Aggressive Growth Fund seeks appreciation of capital
through the use of aggressive investment techniques. The Balanced Fund seeks to
provide reasonable income, long-term capital growth and conservation of capital.
The Growth Fund seeks long-term appreciation of capital. The High Yield Fund
seeks to provide high current income. The Money Market Fund seeks to provide as
high a level of current income consistent with capital preservation and
liquidity. The U.S. Government Securities Fund seeks a high level of current
income by investing in U.S. Government guaranteed or backed securities.

  Each Fund offers both Class A and Class B shares and, additionally, High Yield
Fund offers Class C shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales
charge of up to 4.75%. Class B shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales
charge which declines from 5% to zero depending on the period of time the shares
are held. Class C shares are sold with a 1% contingent deferred sales charge if
redeemed within one year of purchase. All classes of shares have identical
voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and
conditions, except that each class bears different distribution expenses and has
exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. Income and
expenses of each Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of all classes of
shares, except that each class bears distribution expenses unique to that class.

  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. SECURITY VALUATION:

  Equity securities are valued at the last sale price, or if there had been no
sale that day, at the last bid price. Debt securities are valued on the basis of
broker quotations or valuations provided by a pricing service which utilizes
information with respect to recent sales, market transactions in comparable
securities, quotations from dealers, and various relationships between
securities in determining value. Short-term investments having a remaining
maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates
market. All other securities and assets are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Trustees.

  The Money Market Fund uses the amortized cost method of security valuation
which, in the opinion of the Trustees, represents the fair value of the
particular security. The Trustees monitor the deviations between the classes'
net asset value per share as determined by using available market quotations and
its amortized cost per share. If the deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the Board of
Trustees will consider what action, if any, should be initiated to provide a
fair valuation. This valuation procedure allows each class of the Series to
maintain a constant net asset value of $1 per share.

B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME:

  Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of certain foreign securities,
as soon as the Fund is notified. Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis. The Trust does not amortize premiums except for the Money Market Fund,
but does amortize discounts using the effective interest method. Realized gains
and losses are determined on the identified cost basis.

C. INCOME TAXES:

  Each of the Funds is treated as a separate taxable entity. It is the policy of
each Fund in the Trust to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code (the Code), applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute
all of its taxable income to its shareholders. In addition, each Fund intends to
distribute an amount sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under
Section 4982 of the Code. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or
excise taxes has been made.

D. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:

  Distributions are recorded by each Fund 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.
These differences include the treatment of non-taxable dividends, expiring
capital loss carryforwards, foreign currency gain/loss, partnerships, and losses
deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations. Permanent book and tax
basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in
reclassifications to paid in capital.

E. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION:

  Foreign securities, other assets and liabilities are valued using the foreign
currency exchange rate effective at the end of the reporting period. Cost of
investments is translated at the currency exchange rate effective at the trade
date. The gain or loss resulting from a change in currency exchange rates
between the trade and settlement dates of a portfolio transaction is treated as
a gain or loss on foreign currency. Likewise, the gain or loss resulting from a
change in currency exchange rates, between the date income is accrued and paid,
is treated as a gain or loss on foreign currency. The Trust does not separate
that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates
and that portion arising from changes in the market prices of securities.

                                                                              43

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 1999 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

F. FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS:

  Each of the Funds, except U.S. Government and Money Market Fund, may enter
into forward currency contracts in conjunction with the planned purchase or sale
of foreign denominated securities in order to hedge the U.S. dollar cost or
proceeds. Forward currency contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of
market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of assets and
liabilities. Risks arise from the possible movements in foreign exchange rates
or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

  A forward currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a
specific currency at a future date, which may be any number of days from the
date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of
the contract. These contracts are traded directly between currency traders and
their customers. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market
value is recorded by each Fund as an unrealized gain (or loss). When the
contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain (or loss) equal to the
change in the value of the contract when it was opened and the value at the time
it was closed.

G. SECURITY LENDING:

  The Trust loans securities to qualified brokers through an agreement with
State Street Bank & Trust (the Custodian). Under the terms of the agreement, the
Trust receives collateral with a market value not less than 100% of the market
value of loaned securities. Collateral is adjusted daily in connection with
changes in the market value of securities on loan. Collateral consists of cash,
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and the
sovereign debt of foreign countries. Interest earned on the collateral and
premiums paid by the borrower are recorded as income by the Trust net of fees
charged by the Custodian for its services in connection with this securities
lending program. Lending portfolio securities involves a risk of delay in the
recovery of the loaned securities or in the foreclosure on collateral. At April
30, 1999, the Aggressive Growth Fund and the Balanced Fund had securities on
loan with market values of $15,976,596 and $14,282,704, respectively and
collateral values of $16,432,948 and $14,581,000, respectively.

H. EXPENSES:

  Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to any two or more Funds are
allocated in proportion to the net assets of each Fund, except where allocation
of direct expense to each Fund or an alternative allocation method can be more
fairly made.

I. OPTIONS:

  The Trust, except for U.S. Government and Money Market Fund, may write covered
options or purchase options contracts for the purpose of hedging against changes
in the market value of the underlying securities or foreign currencies.

  The Funds will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the
option transaction. Gains and losses on written options are reported separately
in the Statement of Operations. When a written option is exercised, the proceeds
on sales or amounts paid are adjusted by the amount of premium received. Options
written are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities
and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option.
The risk associated with written options is that the change in value of options
contracts may not correspond to the change in value of the hedged instruments.
In addition, losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying
instruments, or if a liquid secondary market does not exist for the contracts.

  Each Fund, except for U.S. Government and Money Market Fund, may purchase
options which are included in the Funds' Schedule of Investments and
subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. When a
purchased option is exercised, the cost of the security is adjusted by the
amount of premium paid. The risk associated with purchased options is limited to
the premium paid.

J. WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS:

  Each Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The
Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain collateral
for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis begin earning interest on the settlement date.

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

  As compensation for its services to the Trust, the Adviser, Phoenix Investment
Counsel, Inc., an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Phoenix Home Life Mutual
Insurance Company ("PHL"), is entitled to a fee based upon the following annual

</TABLE>

  The Adviser has agreed to assume expenses and reduce the advisory fee for the
benefit of the Money Market Fund to the extent that total expenses (excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions and extraordinary expenses)
exceed 0.85% for Class A shares and 1.60% for Class B shares of the average of
the aggregate daily net asset value.

  Effective June 25, 1998, Roger Engemann & Associates, Inc. ("REA") was
appointed subadvisor to the Aggressive Growth Fund. For

its services, REA is paid a fee by the Adviser equal to 0.20% of the average
daily net assets of the Aggressive Growth Fund up to $262 million, 0.35% of such
value between $262 million and $1 billion, 0.325% of such value between $1
billion and $2 billion and 0.30% of such value in excess of $2 billion. REA is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Pasadena Capital Corporation which in turn is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd., an indirect,
majority-owned subsidiary of PHL.

  Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation (PEPCO), an indirect majority-owned
subsidiary of PHL, which serves as the national distributor of the Trust's
shares, has advised the Trust that it retained selling commissions of $227,516
for Class A shares, deferred sales charges of $339,733 for Class B shares and
$858 for Class C shares, for the six months ended April 30, 1999. In addition,
each Fund except the Money Market Fund pays PEPCO a distribution fee at an
annual rate of 0.25% for Class A shares, 1.00% for Class B shares and 1.00% for
Class C shares of the High Yield Fund applied to the average daily net assets of
each Fund; the distribution fee for the Money Market Fund is 0% and 0.75% for
Class A and Class B, respectively. The distributor has advised the Trust that of
the total amount expensed for the six months ended April 30, 1999, $1,637,299
was retained by the Distributor, $5,414,753 was earned by unaffiliated
participants, and $725,506 was paid to W.S. Griffith, an indirect subsidiary of
PHL.

  As Financial Agent of the Trust, PEPCO receives a financial agent fee equal to
the sum of (1) the documented cost of fund accounting and related services
provided by PFPC Inc. (subagent to PEPCO), plus (2) the documented cost to PEPCO
to provide financial reporting, tax services and oversight of subagent's
performance. The current fee schedule of PFPC Inc. ranges from 0.085% to 0.0125%
of the average daily net asset values of the Fund. Certain minimum fees and fee
waivers may apply.

  PEPCO serves as the Trust's Transfer Agent with State Street Bank and Trust
Company as sub-transfer agent. For the six months ended April 30, 1999, transfer
agent fees were $3,689,993 of which PEPCO retained $1,559,982 which is net of
fees paid to State Street.

  At April 30, 1999, PHL and affiliates held Phoenix Series Fund shares which
