Notes to Financial Statements April 30, 1996 (unaudited)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.   Organization and Significant Accounting Policies -- Growth and Income 
Portfolio ("GIP") and Capital Growth Portfolio ("CGP"), (the "Portfolios") 
are separately registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as 
amended, as non-diversified, open end management investment companies 
organized as trusts under the laws of the State of New York. Each declaration 
of trust permits the Trustees to issue beneficial interests in the 
respective Portfolios. The GIP and the CGP commenced operations on November 
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the 
financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed 
by the Portfolios:
 
     A.   Valuation of investments -- Equity securities, purchased options 
and futures are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they 
are primarily traded, including the NASDAQ National Market. Securities for 
which sale prices are not available and other over-the-counter securities are 
valued at the last quoted bid price. Bonds and other fixed income securities 
(other than short-term obligations), including listed issues, are valued on 
the basis of valuations supplied by pricing services or
     Short-term debt securities with 61 days or more to maturity at time of 
purchase are valued, through the 61st day prior to maturity, at market value 
based on quotations obtained from market makers or other
appropriate sources; thereafter, the value on the 61st day is amortized
on a straight-line basis over the remaining number of days to maturity.
Short-term investments with 60 days or less to maturity at time of
purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market.
Portfolio securities for which there are no such quotations or valuations 
are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or at the direction 
of the Trustees.
 
     B.   Repurchase agreements -- It is the Trusts' policy that repurchase 
agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury and Government Agency 
securities. All collateral is held by the Trusts' custodian bank, 
subcustodian, or a bank with which the custodian bank has entered into a 
subcustodian agreement, or is segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry 
System. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, if the 
seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller
ncy proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Trusts may be delayed 
or limited.
 
     C.   Futures contracts -- When a portfolio enters into a futures 
contract, it makes an initial margin deposit in a segregated account, 
either in cash or liquid securities. Thereafter, the futures contract is 
marked to market and the portfolio makes (or receives) additional cash
payments daily to the broker. Changes in the value of the contract are 
recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation until the contract is 
closed or settled.
 
The GIP invested a portion of its liquid assets in long stock index futures 
contracts to more fully participate in the market. Use of futures contracts 
subject the Portfolio to risk of loss in excess of amounts shown on the 
Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the amount of the value of the 
contract.
 
                                      48
 

 
Vista Mutual Funds
Notes to Financial Statements April 30, 1996 (unaudited)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards 
of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each 
futures transaction, therefore, the Portfolio's credit risk is limited to 
failure of the exchange or board of trade.
 
     D.   Written options -- When a portfolio writes an option on a futures 
contract, an amount equal to the premium received by the portfolio is 
included in the portfolio's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset 
and corresponding liability. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily 
to reflect the current market value of the written options and the change is 
recorded in a corresponding unrealized gain or loss account. When a written 
option expires on its stipulated expiration date, or when a closing 
transaction is entered into, the related liability is extinguished and the 
portfolio realized a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing transaction 
exceeds the premium received when the option was written).
 
The GIP writes options on stock index securities futures. These options are 
settled for cash and subject the Portfolio to market risk in excess of the 
amounts that are reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The 
Portfolio, however, is not subject to credit risk on written options as the 
counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying a premium at the 
inception of the contract.
 
As of April 30, 1996 the Portfolios had no outstanding written options.
 
     E.   Security transactions and investment income - Investment 
transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy 
or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the 
identified cost basis. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income 
is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
     F.   Organization costs -- Organization and initial registration costs 
incurred in connection with establishing the Portfolios have been deferred 
and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a sixty month period 
beginning at the commencement of operations of each Portfolio.
 
     G.   Federal income taxes -- The Portfolios intend to qualify as 
partnerships and therefore net income and net realized gains are taxed to 
the partners. The investor in the Portfolios must take into account their 
proportionate share of the Portfolios' income, gains, losses, deductions, 
credits and tax preference items in computing their federal income tax 
liability, without regard to whether they have received any cash 
distributions from the Portfolio. The Portfolios do not intend to
distribute to investors their net investment income or their net realized 
gains, if any. It is intended that the Portfolios will be managed in such a 
way that investors in the portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements 
of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed as regulated 
investment companies.
 
2.   Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
 
     A.   Investment advisory fee -- Pursuant to separate Investment 
Advisory Agreements, The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. ("Chase" or the 
"Adviser") acts as the Investment Adviser to the Portfolios. Chase is a 
direct wholly-owned subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Corporation. As 
Investment Adviser, Chase supervises the investments of the Portfolios and 
for such services is paid a fee.
 
                                      49

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The fee is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.40% 
of the Portfolios' average daily net assets.
 
     B.   Custodial fees -- Chase, as Custodian provides safekeeping 
services for the Portfolios' securities. Compensation for such services are 
presented in the Statement of Operations as custodian fees.
 
     C.   Administration fee -- Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, 
Chase (the "Administrator") provides certain administration services to the 
Trusts. For these services and facilities, the Administrator receives from 
each Portfolio a fee computed at the annual rate equal to 0.05% of the 
respective Portfolio's average daily net assets.
 
     D.   Other -- Effective March 29, 1996, The Chase Manhattan Corporation 
merged with Chemical Banking Corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan 
of Merger signed in August 1995.
 
3.   Investment Transactions -- For the six month period ended 
April 30, 1996, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term 
investments) were as follows:
 
                                GIP 		           CGP
                                -------------    -------------
Purchases (excluding U.S. 
  Government)..                 $ 568,532,694    $ 413,792,258
Sales (excluding U.S. 
  Government)......               468,419,074      476,316,956
 
The portfolio turnover rates of GIP and CGP for this period were 26.22% and 
43.32%, respectively.
 
4.   Retirement Plan -- During the year ended October 31, 1995, the Trusts 
adopted an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering 
all independent directors of the Trusts who have served as an independent 
director of the Trusts, or other Vista Portfolios, for at least five years 
at the time of retirement. Benefits under this plan are based on 
compensation and years of service. Management has determined that the 
accrual for prior service costs is not material.
