Gross unrealized appreciation                      $632,810,492 
Gross unrealized depreciation                       (43,784,460) 
                                                     ----------- 
Net unrealized appreciation                        $589,026,032 
                                                     =========== 
  (b) Affiliated issuers are those in which the Fund's holdings of an issuer 
      represent 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer. 
      The Fund has never owned enough of the outstanding voting securities of 
      any issuer to have control (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 
      1940) of that issuer. 

  (c) All or a portion of these securities are restricted (i.e., securities 
      which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Federal 
      Securities Act of 1933) which are valued using market quotations where 
      readily available. In the absence of market quotations, the securities 
      are valued based upon their fair value determined under procedures 
      approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may make investments in an 
      amount up to 15% of the value of the Fund's net assets in such 
      securities. On the date of acquisition there was no market quotation on 
      similar securities and the above securities were valued at acquisition 
      cost. At May 31, 1996, the fair value of these restricted securities was 
      $8,212,790, (0.41% of net assets). The Fund will not pay the costs of 
      disposition of the above restricted securities other than ordinary 
      brokerage fees, if any. 

  (d) All securities unless otherwise indicated with a (e) are 
      non-income-producing. 

  (e) Income-producing security. 

  (f) The repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. government 
      and/or agency obligations based on market prices on May 31, 1996. 

  (g) Each unit is comprised of $1,000 par Senior Secured PIK note and 15 
      warrants.

(a) Calculation based on average shares outstanding. 

(b) Prior to June 30, 1987, net commissions paid on new sales of shares under 
    the Fund's Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan had been treated for both 
    financial statement and tax purposes as capital charges. On June 11, 
    1987, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a Rule which 
    required for financial statements for periods ended on or after June 30, 
    1987, that net commissions paid under Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plans be 
    treated as operating expenses rather than as capital charges. 
    Accordingly, beginning with the fiscal year ended May 31, 1988, the 
    Fund's financial statements reflect 12b-1 Distribution Plan expenses 
    (i.e., shareholder service fees plus commissions paid net of deferred 
    sales charges received by the Fund) as a component of the net investment 
    income section of the financial highlights. 

(c) Excluding applicable sales charges. 

(d) "Ratio of total expenses to average net assets" for the year ended May 
    31, 1996 includes indirectly paid expenses. Excluding indirectly paid 
    expenses for the year ended May 31, 1996, the expense ratio would have 
    been 1.72%.

Keystone Small Company Growth Fund (S-4)
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(1.) Significant Accounting Policies 

Keystone Small Company Growth Fund (S-4), (the "Fund"), is an open-end 
diversified management investment company. The Fund was created under 
Pennsylvania law as a common law trust. Keystone Management, Inc. ("KMI") is 
the Fund's investment manager and Keystone Investment Management Company 
("KEYSTONE") is the Fund's investment adviser. The Fund's investment 
objective is long-term growth of capital. 

  Keystone is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keystone Investments, Inc. ("KII"), 
a Delaware corporation. KII is a private corporation predominately owned by 
current and former members of management of Keystone and its affiliates. KMI 
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keystone. Keystone Investor Resource Center, 
Inc. ("KIRC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keystone, is the Fund's transfer 
agent. 

  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 
which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 
amounts reported herein. Although actual results could differ from these 
estimates, any such differences are expected to be immaterial relative to the 
net assets of the Fund. 

A. Investments are usually valued at the closing sales price, or, in the 
absence of sales and for over-the-counter securities, the mean of bid and 
asked quotations. Management values the following securities at prices it 
deems in good faith to be fair under the direction of the Board of Trustees: 
(a) securities (including restricted securities) for which complete 
quotations are not readily available and (b) listed securities if, in the 
opinion of management, the last sales price does not reflect a current value 
or if no sale occurred. 

  Short-term investments maturing in sixty days or less are valued at 
amortized cost (original purchase cost as adjusted for amortization of 
premium or accretion of discount) which when combined with accrued interest 
approximates market. Short-term investments maturing in more than sixty days 
for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current 
market value. Short-term investments maturing in more than sixty days when 
purchased which are held on the sixtieth day prior to maturity are valued at 
amortized cost (market value on the sixtieth day adjusted for amortization of 
premium or accretion of discount) which when combined with accrued interest 
approximates market. 

  Market quotations are not considered to be readily available for long-term 
corporate bonds and notes; such investments are stated at fair value on the 
basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, approved by the Trustees, 
which determines valuations for normal institutional-size trading units of 
such securities using methods based on market transactions for comparable 
securities and various relationships between securities which are generally 
recognized by institutional traders. 

  The Fund enters into currency and other financial futures contracts as a 
hedge against changes in interest or currency exchange rates. A futures 
contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a specific 
amount of a commodity, security, financial instrument, or, in the case of a 
stock index, cash at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a 
futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an amount 
("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price 
indicated in the futures contract. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") 
are made or received by the Fund each day, as the value of the underlying 
instrument or index fluctuates, and are recorded for book purposes as 
unrealized gains or 

<PAGE>

- ---------------------------------------

losses by the Fund. For federal tax purposes, any futures contracts which 
remain open at fiscal year-end are marked-to-market and the resultant net 
gain or loss is included in federal taxable income. 

  Investments denominated in a foreign currency are adjusted daily to reflect 
changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency amounts are translated into 
United States dollars as follows: market value of investments, assets and 
liabilities at the daily rate of exchange, purchases and sales of investment, 
income and expenses at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective 
dates of such transactions. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains/losses are 
a component of unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments. In 
addition to market risk, the Fund is subject to the credit risk that the 
other party will not be able to complete the obligations of the contract. 

B. Securities transactions are accounted for no later than one business day 
after the trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on the 
identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and 
dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to 
shareholders are recorded at the close of business on the ex-dividend date. 

C. The Fund has qualified, and intends to qualify in the future, as a 
regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as 
amended ("Internal Revenue Code"). Thus, the Fund is relieved of any federal 
income tax liability by distributing all of its net taxable investment income 
and net taxable capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. The Fund intends 
to avoid excise tax liability by making the required distributions under the 
Internal Revenue Code. 

D. When the Fund enters into a repurchase agreement (a purchase of securities 
whereby the seller agrees to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed 
upon date and price) the repurchase price of the securities will generally 
equal the amount paid by the Fund plus a negotiated interest amount. The 
seller under the repurchase agreement will be required to provide securities 
("collateral") to the Fund whose value will be maintained at an amount not 
less than the repurchase price, and which generally will be maintained at 
101% of the repurchase price. The Fund monitors the value of collateral on a 
daily basis, and if the value of collateral falls below required levels, the 
Fund intends to seek additional collateral from the seller or terminate the 
repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults, the Fund would suffer a loss to 
the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities were 
less than the repurchase price. Any such loss would be increased by any cost 
incurred on disposing of such securities. If bankruptcy proceedings are 
commenced against the seller under the repurchase agreement, the realization 
on the collateral may be delayed or limited. Repurchase agreements entered 
into by the Fund will be limited to transactions with dealers or domestic 
banks believed to present minimal credit risks. The Fund will take 
constructive receipt of all securities underlying repurchase agreements until 
such agreements expire. 

 Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, the Fund, along with certain other Keystone funds, may transfer 
uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are 
invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized 
by U.S. Treasury and/or Federal Agency obligations. 

E. In connection with portfolio purchases and sales of securities denominated 
in foreign currency, the Fund may enter into forward foreign currency 
exchange contracts ("contracts"). Additionally, from time to time the Fund 
may enter into contracts to hedge certain foreign currency assets. Contracts 
are 

<PAGE>

- ---------------------------------------
Keystone Small Company Growth Fund (S-4)
 
recorded at market value and marked-to-market daily. Realized gains and 
losses arising from such transactions are included in net realized gain 
(loss) on foreign currency related transactions. The Fund is subject to the 
credit risk that the other party will not complete the obligations of the 
contract. 
F. The Fund intends to distribute its net investment income and net capital 
gains, if any, annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with 
income tax regulations. Distributions from taxable net investment income and 
net capital gains can exceed book basis net income and net capital gains. The 
significant differences between financial statement amounts available for 
distribution and distributions made in accordance with income tax regulations 
are primarily due to net operating losses generated by the Fund and 
distributions paid through shareholder redemptions. 

  (2.) Capital Share Transactions 

  The Trust agreement authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of shares 
of beneficial interest with a par value of $1.00. Transactions in shares of 
the Fund were as follows:

Net increase               24,552,786      37,573,615 
=====================      ==========      =========== 

  The Fund bears some of the costs of selling its shares under a Distribution 
Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. 
Under the Distribution Plan, the Fund pays Keystone Investment Distributors 
Company ("KIDCO"), the principal underwriter and a wholly- owned subsidiary 
of Keystone, amounts which in total may not exceed the Distribution Plan 
maximum. 

  The Fund's shares are offered for sale at net asset value without any 
initial sales charge. In connection with the Distribution Plan, and subject 
to the limitations discussed below, KIDCO generally re-allows to 
broker-dealers or others commissions, equal to 4.00% of the price paid to the 
Fund for each sale of Fund shares as well as a shareholder service fee at a 
rate of 0.25% per annum of the net asset value of shares maintained by such 
recipients and outstanding on the books of the Fund for specified periods. 

  The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund may expend up to 0.3125% 
quarterly (approximately 1.25% annually) of the Fund's average daily net 
assets to pay distribution costs for sale of its shares and to pay 
shareholder service fees. Rules adopted by the National Association of 
Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") limit the annual expenditures that the Fund 
may incur under the Distribution Plan to 1.00% of the Fund's average daily 
net asset value, of which 0.75% may be used to pay such distribution costs 
and 0.25% may be used to pay shareholder service fees. NASD rules also limit 
the aggregate amount which the Fund may pay for such distribution costs to 
6.25% of gross share sales since the inception of the Fund's Distribution 
Plan, plus interest at the prime rate plus 1.00% per annum on unpaid amounts 
thereof (less any contingent deferred sales charges paid by the shareholders 
to KIDCO) remaining unpaid from time to time. 

  Contingent deferred sales charges applicable to shares of the Fund are to 
the extent permitted by the NASD Rule, paid to KIDCO. 

  KIDCO intends, but is not obligated, to continue to pay or accrue 
distribution costs and services which 

                     
<PAGE>

- ---------------------------------------
 
exceed current maximum annual payments it is permitted to receive from the 
Fund. KIDCO intends to seek full payment of such amounts from the Fund 
(together with annual interest thereon at the prime rate plus 1.00%) at such 
time in the future as, and to the extent that, payment thereof by the Fund 
would be within permitted limits. Unreimbursed expense in respect of fiscal 
year end was $3,165,670 at fiscal year end. 

  The amount paid by the Fund under its Distribution Plan for the year ended 
May 31, 1996 was $18,458,861 (1.00% of the Fund's average daily net asset 
value during the year). During the year ended May 31, 1996, KIDCO made 
payments of commissions on new sales to dealers and others of $21,624,531. 

(3.) Securities Transactions 

Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities excluding 
short-term securities during the year ended May 31, 1996 were $1,720,676,250 
and $1,686,968,962, respectively. 

(4.) Investment Management and Transactions With Affiliates 

Under the terms of the Investment Management Agreement between KMI and the 
Fund, KMI provides investment management and administrative services to the 
Fund. In return, KMI is paid a management fee computed and paid daily. The 
management fee is calculated by applying percentage rates, which start at 
0.70% and decline as net assets increase, to 0.35% per annum, to the net 
asset value of the Fund. KMI has entered into an Investment Advisory 
Agreement with Keystone under which Keystone provides investment advisory and 
management services to the Fund and receives for its services an annual fee 
representing 85% of the management fee received by KMI. 

During the year ended May 31, 1996, the Fund paid or accrued to KMI 
investment management and administrative services fees of $8,473,139 which 
represented 0.46% of the Fund's average daily net asset value during the 
period. Of such amount paid to KMI, $7,202,168 was paid to Keystone for its 
services to the Fund. 

During the year ended May 31, 1996, the Fund paid or accrued to KII and KIRC 
$20,669 for certain accounting and printing services, and $3,683,215 for 
transfer agent fees, respectively. 

The Fund has entered into an expense offset arrangement with its custodian. 
For the year ended May 31, 1996 the Fund paid or accrued total custody fees 
in the amount of $614,103 and received a credit of $221,745 pursuant to the 
expense offset arrangement resulting in a net custody expense of $392,358. 
The assets deposited with the custodian under the expense offset arrangement 
could have been invested in income-producing assets. 

(5.) Distributions to Shareholders 

A distribution of $1.02 per share was declared on June 17, 1996 from the

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT 

The Trustees and Shareholders 
Keystone Small Company Growth Fund (S-4) 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of 
Keystone Small Company Growth Fund (S-4), including the schedule of 
investments as of May 31, 1996, and the related statement of operations for 
the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the 
years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for 
each of the years in the ten-year period then ended. 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 generally accepted auditing 
standards. 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 May 31, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian and 
brokers. 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 
Keystone Small Company Growth Fund (S-4) as of May 31, 1996, the results of 
its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for 
each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial 
highlights for each of the years in the ten-year period then ended in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Keystone Small Company Growth Fund (S-4)
200 Berkeley Street
Boston, MA 02116-5034


Ladies and Gentlemen:

    I am a Senior Vice President of and General  Counsel to Keystone  Investment
Management Company, the investment adviser to Keystone Small Company Growth Fund
(S-4) (the  "Fund").  You have asked for my opinion with respect to the proposed
issuance of 22,254,845 additional shares of the Fund.

    To my  knowledge,  a  Prospectus  is being  filed  with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") as part of this Post-Effective  Amendment
No.  124 to the  Fund's  Registration  Statement,  which  will  cover the public
offering and sale of the Fund shares currently registered with the Commission.

    In my opinion, such additional shares, if issued and sold in accordance with
the Fund's Trust Agreement, as restated and amended (the "Trust Agreement"), and
offering Prospectus, will be legally issued, fully paid, an nonassessable by the
Fund,  entitling  the  holders  thereof  to the  rights  set  forth in the Trust
Agreement and subject to the limitations set forth therein.

    My opinion is based upon my  examination  of the Fund's Trust  Agreement and
By-Laws; a review of the minutes of the Fund's Board of Trustees authorizing the
issuance of such additional shares; and the Fund's Prospectus. In my examination
of such  documents,  I have assumed the  genuineness  of all  signatures and the
conformity of copies to originals.

    I  hereby   consent  to  the  use  of  this  opinion  in   connection   with
Post-Effective  Amendment No. 124 to the Fund's  Registration  Statement,  which
covers the registration of such additional shares.


                                                 Very truly yours,
                                                 /s/ Rosemary D. Van Antwerp
                                                 Rosemary D. Van Antwerp
                                                 Senior Vice President and
                                                 General Counsel






                         CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

         We consent to the use of our report dated June 28, 1996.
