PROGRESSIVE CAPITAL ACCUMULATION TRUST
(formerly Anchor Capital Accumulation Trust)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
1. Significant accounting policies:
On December 14, 1998, the Board of Trustees voted to change the name of the
Trust from Anchor Capital Accumulation Trust to Progressive Capital
Accumulation Trust. Subsequent to their vote the name change became effective
January 21, 1999.
Progressive Capital Accumulation Trust, a Massachusetts business trust (the
"Trust"), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a diversified, open-end investment management company. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust which are in
conformity with those generally accepted in the investment company industry.
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 and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A.Investment securities-- Security transactions are recorded on the date the
investments are purchased or sold. Each day, at noon, securities traded on
national security exchanges are valued at the last sale price on the
primary exchange on which they are listed, or if there has been no sale by
noon, at the current bid price. Other securities for which market
quotations are readily available are valued at the last known sales price,
or, if unavailable, the known current bid price which most nearly
represents current market value. Options are valued in the same manner.
Temporary cash investments are stated at cost, which approximates market
value.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis. Gains and losses from sales of investments
are calculated using the "identified cost" method for both financial
reporting and federal income tax purposes.
B.Income Taxes-- The Trust has elected to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute each year all of its taxable income to its shareholders. No
provision for federal income taxes is necessary since the Trust intends to
qualify for and elect the special tax treatment afforded a "regulated
investment company" under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Income
and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal
tax regulations and may differ from those determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these differences
are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts
based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not
require such reclassification. During the current fiscal year permanent
differences, primarily due to short term gains and foreign currency losses
offset by net investment income, resulted in a net increase in
undistributed net investment income and an increase in accumulated realized
loss from security transactions. This reclassification had no effect on net
assets.
C.Capital Stock-- The Trust records the sales and redemptions of its capital
stock on trade date.

2. Tax basis of investments:
At December 31, 1999, the total cost of investments for federal income tax
purposes was identical to the total cost on a financial reporting basis.
Aggregate gross unrealized appreciation in investments in which there was an
excess of market value over tax cost was $2,600,017. Aggregate gross
unrealized depreciation in investments in which there was an excess of tax
cost over market value was $96,183. Net unrealized appreciation in
investments at December 31, 1999 was $2,503,834.
3. Investment advisory service agreements:
Pursuant to a shareholders meeting held on November 30, 1998, the
shareholders of Progressive Capital Accumulation Trust voted to enter into an
investment advisory agreement with Progressive Investment Management
Corporation, replacing Anchor Investment Management Corporation as the
Investment Adviser to the Trust effective November 30, 1998. The investment
advisory contract with Progressive Investment Management Corporation (the
"investment adviser") provides that the Trust will pay the adviser a fee for
investment advice based on 3/4 of 1% per annum of average daily net assets.
At December 31, 1999, investment advisory fees of $3,959 were due and were
included in "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" in the accompanying
Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
4. Certain transactions:
The Trust has entered into an agreement with Cardinal Investment Services,
Inc. for transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent services. Annual fees
for these services are $12,000.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are directors and/or officers
of the investment adviser and distributor. Meeschaert & Co., Inc., the
Trust's distributor, received $3,133 in brokerage commissions during the year
ended December 31, 1999. Fees earned by Progressive Investment Management
Corporation for expenses related to daily pricing of the Trust shares and for
bookkeeping services for the year December 31, 1999 were $18,500.
5. Purchases and sales:
Aggregate cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales and maturities on
investments for the year ended December 31, 1999 were:
Cost of securities acquired:
U.S. Government and investments backed by such
securities...................................... $ 3,900,575

To the Shareholders and Trustees of Progressive Capital Accumulation Trust
(formerly Anchor Capital Accumulation Trust):
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Progressive Capital Accumulation Trust (formerly Anchor Capital Accumulation
Trust), a Massachusetts business trust, including the schedule of investments,
as of December 31, 1999, the related statement of operations for the year then

five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and per share
data and ratios are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and per
share data and ratios based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and per share data
and ratios 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
December 31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian. 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 selected per share data and ratios
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Progressive Capital Accumulation Trust (formerly Anchor Capital
Accumulation Trust) as of December 31, 1999, the results of its operations for
the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in
