DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Interest  rates in the United States  hit historic lows in mid-October 1993,
with the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond trading at a yield of 5.75 percent. However,
economic data, including a revised fourth quarter 1993 gross domestic product of
6.3 percent, declining unemployment, fears of rising Consumer and Producer Price
Indexes, and higher prices on gold futures, raised concerns regarding  potential
inflationary pressure. At the same time, consumer spending increased as mortgage
refinancings generated more disposable income. This scenario induced the Federal
Reserve  Board to tighten  monetary policy by raising  the federal-funds rate --
the interest  rate banks  charge each  other for  overnight loans  -- from  3.00
percent  to 4.25 percent in a series  of moves beginning in early February 1994.
In May, the discount rate -- the  rate the Federal Reserve charges member  banks
for  loans --  was also increased,  by 50  basis points, to  3.50 percent. These
actions represented the first  time in several  years short-term interest  rates
were   raised.  Although  these  rate  hikes  were  presented  as  a  series  of
"preemptive" strikes  in  a war  against  potential inflationary  pressure,  the
markets interpreted the moves as the beginning of a trend toward higher interest
rates and reacted immediately, with both stock and bond prices tumbling.

    From  an  overall  total  return standpoint  the  U.S.  equity  markets were
volatile, as evidenced by the six-month performance of the Standard & Poor's 500
(-3.39 percent), the NASDAQ Composite (-9.12 percent) and the Hambrecht &  Quist
Index  of small stocks (-20.45 percent). Similarly,  the bond market has had its
difficulties in  the recent  higher interest  rate environment.  In response  to
rising  rates,  the  yield  curve  between  2  and  30  years  has  flattened by
approximately 47 basis points  (0.47 percent). As measured  by the 30-year  U.S.
Treasury  bond, the bond market  is expected to have  a central trading range of

    Starting with  the emerging  markets of  Southeast Asia,  then spreading  to
Latin  America and finally to Europe and the United States, a rolling correction
through the world markets seems to have  been initiated by a rise in  short-term
U.S.  interest  rates.  In 1995,  a  synchronized global  economic  expansion is
expected to include both the major and minor world economies.

    In the meantime, the mood  on Wall Street continues  to shift as reports  of
potential  inflationary  pressure and  concerns regarding  the weak  U.S. dollar
persist. It is anticipated that economic activity will continue to abate for the
balance of the year as higher interest  rates take effect. While the equity  and
fixed-income  markets  appear  to  have  calmed  somewhat,  conventional  wisdom
suggests caution for the short-term as stocks and bonds struggle to find a base.

MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
    As of June 30, 1994, the Money Market Portfolio had assets in excess of $214
million and an average maturity  of 48 days. On  June 30, 1994, the  Portfolio's
annualized yield was 3.70 percent.

    While  money market yields  were best characterized  by stability during the
second half of  1993, a  significant departure began  in February  1994, as  the
Federal  Reserve Board  began a  series of  steps to  lift the  target level for
federal-funds trading (overnight loans among commercial banks) from 3.00 percent
in early February  to 4.25 percent  by the end  of June. With  these moves,  the
central  bank is trying to stay ahead of potential inflationary pressure, as the
pace of economic  activity improves  and there is  less unused  capacity in  the
economy.

    On  June 30,  1994, approximately 82  percent of the  Portfolio consisted of
high-quality commercial paper, with 11  percent invested in federal agencies,  3
percent  invested in  short-term notes  of major,  financially strong commercial
banks and the  remaining 3 percent  invested in bankers'  acceptances issued  by
such institutions.
<PAGE>
    More  than 87 percent of  the Money Market Portfolio's  net assets mature in
less than three  months. Therefore,  the Portfolio  is well  positioned to  take
advantage  of any further  upward interest rate  moves and has  a high degree of
liquidity.

    Most economic and monetary indicators  currently reflect a pace of  activity
that is higher than previously anticipated. We believe the Federal Reserve Board
may take further steps to raise short-term interest rates in an attempt to quell
any  remaining inflationary pressure. Consequently, we have slightly reduced the
Portfolio's average life and will closely monitor the pace of economic  activity
to  determine  whether  further  portfolio shortening  is  warranted.  While the
economy's immediate growth  trends at this  stage of the  economic cycle may  be
somewhat  insensitive to the level of  short-term interest rates, eventually the
influence.  The  Portfolio  continues  to  serve  as  a  useful  investment  for
liquidity, preservation of capital and a yield that is reflective of  prevailing
money market conditions.

QUALITY INCOME PLUS PORTFOLIO
    The  Quality Income Plus  Portfolio outperformed the  benchmark 10-year U.S.
Treasury  note  by  approximately  one   percent.  The  higher  interest   rates
precipitated  by  the  Federal  Reserve  Board's  tightening  moves  created  an
environment under which the Portfolio produced  a total return of -6.83  percent
for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994.

    The  Portfolio's net assets  at the end  of the period  under review totaled
$466 million, and were allocated as  follows: 48 percent in corporate bonds,  31
percent   in  mortgage-backed   securities,  11   percent  in   U.S.  government
instruments, 6 percent  in "Yankee" instruments  (U.S. dollar-denominated  bonds
issued  by sovereign entities) and 8 percent in cash equivalents. This strategy,
an average credit rating of  AA (as measured by Standard  & Poor's Corp.) and  a
14.7  year weighted  average maturity  leaves the  Portfolio well  positioned to
benefit from the current low-inflation environment.

    Throughout the six-month period ended  June 30, 1994, the Portfolio's  focus
has  been on relative value. The shift  in assets that occurred during the first
quarter from 26 percent mortgage-backed securities to 31.5 percent,  capitalized
upon  the  relatively inexpensive  yield  advantage these  AAA-rated instruments
offered versus alternative investment vehicles.

    As the  close of  the second  quarter approached,  modest shifts  into  U.S.
government  and agency instruments were initiated in order to participate in the
outperformance of selective corporate  issues. Additionally, to increase  income
flow  most lower-coupon mortgages were shifted  into issues with coupons ranging
between 7.5 and 8.5  percent. This strategy  is expected to  continue to be  the
Portfolio's principal focus in the coming months.

HIGH YIELD PORTFOLIO
    The  first half of 1994 was very difficult for the fixed-income markets, and
the high-yield sector was not immune  to the turmoil. Rising interest rates  and
uncertainty  over  Federal Reserve  Board policy  have taken  their toll  on the
markets. Compared to the other  fixed-income sectors, the high-yield market  has
not  been  quite  as  volatile,  aided  by  its  large  yield  advantage  and an
improvement in  corporate  credit quality,  which  is  a result  of  a  stronger
economy.  For the  first half  of the  year, the  First Boston  High Yield Index
returned -2.49 percent, while the average high-yield annuity fund returned -2.66
percent.  Considering  the  difficult   environment,  the  Portfolio   performed
relatively well, posting a total return of 0.74 percent for the same period.

economic growth along with a still  relatively subdued inflation rate. With  the
significantly  higher yield levels available in today's high-yield market we see
many potentially attractive investment  opportunities, contingent upon  interest
rates  stabilizing. In  light of this  outlook, the Portfolio  enters the second
half of 1994 positioned for a potential rebound in the market, with a  continued
emphasis on mid B-rated issues (as measured by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.),
which should benefit from the improving economy.
<PAGE>
UTILITIES PORTFOLIO
    The  Portfolio's -11.13  percent total return  over the first  six months of
1994 illustrates  the  extended pressure  from  higher interest  rates  and  the
general fundamental uncertainties of the utilities sector, with primary concerns
focused on the electric utility sector. The electric utility sector's volatility
is  attributable to pending  legislation aimed at  monitoring competition within
the sector. Many observers believe  the worst-case scenario has been  discounted
in  the  market  and  that  final rulings  and  directives  on  electric utility
competition will be less onerous and more accommodating to shareholder interest.
Sharing these views, along with a more favorable view toward interest rates,  we
remain optimistic for both the value and long-term investor.

    In  its continuing response  to this environment,  the Portfolio has further
de-emphasized electric utilities in favor of telecommunications and natural  gas
investments.  On June  30, 1994, the  overall portfolio asset  allocation was 85
percent equity, 13 percent  fixed-income and 2 percent  cash. Within the  equity
component,  40  percent  was  committed to  electric  utilities,  30  percent to
telecommunications and 15 percent to natural gas. Foreign securities,  primarily
telecommunications, accounted for nine percent of net assets.

DIVIDEND GROWTH PORTFOLIO
    For   the  six-month  period  ended  June  30,  1994,  the  Dividend  Growth
Portfolio's total return  was -5.73 percent,  versus -3.39 percent  for the  S&P
500.  While the climate for  common stocks in general  has been unfavorable thus
far in  1994, the  Portfolio's underperformance  of the  broad market  index  is
largely  attributable  to the  sharp rise  in  interest rates,  which negatively
impacted both the  Portfolio's fixed-income and  interest-rate sensitive  common
stock  holdings. The  Portfolio's net assets  exceeded $545 million  on June 30,
1994, an increase of more than $63 million over the past six months.

    Three new common  stock positions  were added  to the  portfolio during  the
period  under review:  Eastman Chemical (a  spinoff from  Eastman Kodak), Phelps
Dodge and May Department Stores. These issues were purchased because they  would
be  more sensitive to any further economic upswing and are less dependent on the
Industries  and Woolworth  Corp. As  of June 30,  the Portfolio  consisted of 47
equity issues, representing 30  different industries, and  6 U.S. Treasury  note
and bond issues.

    During  the  six-month period,  the  securities markets  experienced unusual
price volatility.  However,  we believe  that  the long-term  outlooks  for  the
economy  and  the  securities markets  in  general  are favorable.  We  also are
strongly convinced that over the longer term the common stocks of  high-quality,
dividend-paying, large-capitalization companies will perform relatively well.

CAPITAL GROWTH PORTFOLIO
    For   the  six-month  period  under  review  the  Capital  Growth  Portfolio
registered a  total  return of  -4.82  percent,  versus -3.39  percent  for  the
Standard  & Poor's  500. This relative  underperformance is  attributable to the
fact that growth stocks, a focus of the portfolio, generally underperformed  the
broader market. According to Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., a leading monitor
of  the mutual fund industry, the average  growth fund registered a total return
of -5.95 percent for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994. A move in 1993 to
expand its universe  in an  attempt to increase  diversification positioned  the
Portfolio  to better withstand the market decline  in the first half of 1994. On
June 30, 1994, the Portfolio's net assets exceeded $45 million.

    At the end of the period under review, the Portfolio owned 43 equity issues,
representing 30 different industries. New additions to the Portfolio during  the
period  include Coca-Cola, Schering-Plough and Federal National Mortgage. Philip
Morris and Tyson Foods were eliminated.

    During the  six-month period,  the  securities markets  experienced  unusual
price  volatility.  However,  we believe  that  the long-term  outlooks  for the
economy and the  securities markets in  general are favorable.  We also  believe
that  the common stocks of established growth  companies, such as those in which
the Portfolio  invests,  will perform  relatively  well over  the  longer  term.
Consequently, we are confident, patient and relatively fully invested.
<PAGE>
EUROPEAN GROWTH PORTFOLIO
    The  European equity markets have  been in a transitional  phase thus far in
1994, with  investor  expectations  shifting  from an  interest  rate  focus  to
expectations  of sustained earnings recovery to concerns over too rapid economic
growth and inflation.  In the  background has been  a severe  correction in  the
European government bond market, initially triggered by the deterioration of the
U.S.  bond market,  but which  eventually assumed  specific European dimensions,
such as concerns in Sweden and Italy over budget deficits and in the UK over the
mismanagement of interest-rate policy. Not surprisingly, European equities  were
unable  to  make much  headway  in this  environment.  While the  Morgan Stanley
the first half of  the year, the European  Growth Portfolio registered a  modest
positive  return of  0.9 percent.  We believe  the European  equity markets will
recover over the balance  of 1994, based  on our forecast  for a sharp  earnings
recovery  and an  extended period  of advancing  earnings up  to a  peak in 1997
(possibly a  year  earlier in  the  case of  Scandinavia  and the  UK).  Further
strengthening  this forecast,  most data  during the  second quarter  pointed to
stronger economies. In  addition, while 1995  should be a  year of  synchronized
worldwide  growth, we do not foresee a significant threat of higher inflation in
Europe (although interest rates will certainly be rising). Finally, the strength
of the yen relative to the deutschemark will be beneficial for export volumes.

    The Portfolio's key  country weightings  are as follows:  UK, 33.4  percent;
Switzerland,   7.8  percent;   Germany,  8.1   percent;  Sweden,   6.9  percent;
Netherlands, 8.3  percent; and  France, 7.7  percent. In  June, the  Portfolio's
currency  hedge was  eliminated as the  U.S. dollar remained  weak. We currently
forecast a U.S. dollar/deutschemark trading range of 1.52 to 1.65 over the  next
3  to  6  months.  As a  result,  the  Portfolio will  remain  unhedged  for the
foreseeable future. Given  the transitional state  of the European  marketplace,
the  Portfolio is tilted toward stocks that  are sensitive to economic growth in
Europe. The Portfolio continues to maintain a large representation of  small-and
mid-cap stocks.

EQUITY PORTFOLIO
    The  Equity Portfolio's net  assets grew from  approximately $182 million on
December 31, 1993  to more  than $208 million  on June  30, 1994.  Distributions
during  the six-month period  included $0.034 per share  in dividends, $1.16 per
share in short-term  capital gains  and $0.44  in long-term  capital gains.  The
Portfolio  seeks  to  identify  attractive  industry  groups  based  on earnings
momentum and  appropriate  valuation. Once  industries  have been  targeted  for
investment,  individual issues  ranging from  small to  large are  selected; the
result is a portfolio tilted toward mid-sized companies.

    Following a strong 1993, growth stocks fell out of favor as an  accelerating
economy  drove  factory operating  rates higher,  resulting  in a  resurgence of
inflationary fears, inducing the Federal  Reserve Board to raise interest  rates
for  the first time  in several years.  Against this backdrop,  during the first
half of 1994 the Portfolio declined 9.6 percent, versus a decline of 3.4 percent
for the S&P 500 and 9.1 percent for the NASDAQ Composite, an index of  mid-sized
companies.   Despite  disappointing  results  over  the  past  six  months,  the
Portfolio's long-term  track record  remains  quite attractive,  with  three-and
five-year  average  annual total  returns of  13.27  percent and  11.95 percent,

    In response to  the changing  market dynamics, the  Portfolio increased  its
exposure  to both defensive and late-cycle  industries. This strategy allows the
Portfolio to  focus on  those  defensive and  late-cycle groups  that  typically
outperform when the Federal Reserve Board adopts a tighter monetary policy.

MANAGED ASSETS PORTFOLIO
    The  first six months of 1994 produced turbulent times for virtually all the
financial markets. For  the six-month period,  the Standard &  Poor's 500  Index
produced  a  total  return  of -3.39  percent,  while  30-year  government bonds
declined  11.73  percent.   Fortunately,  the  Managed   Assets  Portfolio   was
defensively  postured throughout the  period and finished  with a positive total
return of 1.06 percent.

    As the year began,  the United States was  showing signs of strong  economic
growth,  the stock market was near its all  time high and interest rates on both
short-and long-term bonds were at or  near historical lows. The Portfolio  began
the  year with  50 percent  of its net  assets invested  in stocks,  a modest 10
percent in bonds and a relatively  high 40 percent in money-market  instruments.
This posture was designed to provide participation in the financial markets, but
also  to suggest caution, as in our opinion the low yields from stocks and bonds
left the markets vulnerable.
<PAGE>
    As stated in  the introduction  to this  letter, a  combination of  stronger
economic growth, rising commodity prices and a weak U.S. dollar produced sharply
higher  interest rates  early in the  year. The Portfolio  responded by becoming
even more defensive. At that  time, equities were reduced  to 20 percent of  net
assets,  bonds to 5 percent  and money-markets were increased  to 75 percent. We
expect to maintain this structure until interest rates show signs of peaking  or
until equity prices become significantly more attractive.

    At  the  end  of  June,  the  Portfolio  held  55  common  stocks, including
economically sensitive  issues such  as  Deere &  Co., International  Paper  and
Monsanto  Co., as  well as  consumer-oriented issues  like Bristol-Myers Squibb,
ConAgra Inc. and Kimberly-Clark. The Portfolio's fixed-income portion  consisted
of  12 issues, with an average maturity of 25.3 years, an average coupon of 7.66
percent and an average quality rating of  AA+, as measured by Standard &  Poor's
Corp.

GLOBAL DIVIDEND GROWTH PORTFOLIO
    The  Global Dividend Growth  Portfolio commenced operations  on February 23,
1994, with total net assets of $3 million. By the end of June, net assets  under
management had grown to $70.7 million.

    During  the Portfolio's short life, assets  have been committed to 43 common
and preferred stock  issues in  the following 12  countries: Australia,  Canada,
France,   Germany,  Hong   Kong,  Italy,   Japan,  Malaysia,   The  Netherlands,
Portfolio was fully invested.

    From  inception through June 30, 1994, the Portfolio recorded a total return
of 0.31 percent, outperforming the -0.96  percent return recorded by the  Morgan
Stanley   Capital   International  World   Index.   We  believe   this  relative
outperformance is attributable to the Portfolio's proprietary screening process,
as well as the U.S. dollar's weakness  relative to several of the world's  other
major currencies.

    We believe the outlooks for the global economy and the securities markets in
most  of the world's major  countries are favorable over  the long term. Looking
ahead, it is our opinion that the stocks of established international companies,
such as those in  which the Portfolio invests,  will perform relatively well  in
the months ahead.

PACIFIC GROWTH PORTFOLIO
    The  Pacific  Growth Portfolio  commenced operations  on February  23, 1994,
during a period when the Pacific Basin economies have continued to enjoy buoyant
conditions. Indeed, real gross  domestic product growth in  the region has  been
forecast to average 6.5 percent in 1994.

    Most  Far Eastern  stock markets registered  gains in the  second quarter of
1994, following a weak first three  months. In this environment, Pacific  Growth
Portfolio's total return from inception through June 30, 1994 was -6.20 percent.
For  the  second quarter,  however, the  Portfolio  registered a  positive total
return of 4.41 percent. Particularly strong performances came from the  region's
smaller markets, where the Portfolio remains overweighted.

    Weightings in the markets of Northeast Asia continued to be increased during
the  second  quarter  as  cyclical  recovery  in  the  region  gathers momentum.
Meanwhile, exposure to Malaysia and Hong Kong remained low on June 30, 1994. The
Portfolio's Japanese  exposure is  also low  in absolute  terms, reflecting  the
superior  growth potential of the Tiger  economies. However, over the first half
of the  year,  investments  in  Japan  were  increased,  keeping  the  Portfolio
overweighted  there. Particular emphasis has been  placed on the common stock of
fast-growing small-and mid-sized companies.

    We appreciate your  support of  Dean Witter Variable  Investment Series  and
look forward to continuing to serve your financial objectives.

to  Northbrook Variable  Annuity Account  as the  underlying investment  for the
variable annuity contracts  issued by Northbrook  and flexible premium  deferred
variable annuity contracts issued by Allstate New York.

    The  Fund, organized on February 25, 1983 as a Massachusetts business trust,

</TABLE>

    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

    A.  VALUATION  OF  INVESTMENTS--Money  Market:  Securities  are  valued   at
    amortized  cost which  approximates market value.  All remaining Portfolios:
    (1) equity securities  listed or traded  on the New  York or American  Stock
    Exchange  or  other domestic  or foreign  stock exchange  are valued  at its
    latest sale price on that exchange prior to the time when assets are  valued
    (if  there were no sales that day, the  security is valued at the latest bid
    price; in cases where securities are  traded on more than one exchange,  the
    securities  are valued on  the exchange designated as  the primary market by
    the Trustees); (2) all other portfolio securities for which over-the-counter
    market quotations are readily available  are valued at the latest  available
    bid  price  prior to  the  time of  valuation;  (3) listed  options  on debt
    securities are valued at the latest sale price on the exchange on which they
    are listed unless no  sales of such  options have taken  place that day,  in
    which  case they  will be valued  at the  mean between their  latest bid and
    asked price. Unlisted options on debt  securities and all options on  equity
    securities are valued at the mean between their latest bid and asked prices;
    (4) futures contracts are valued at the latest sale price on the commodities
    exchange  on which they trade unless  the Trustees determine that such price
    does not reflect their market value, in which case it will be valued at fair
    value as determined  by the  Trustees; (5)  when market  quotations are  not
    readily  available, portfolio securities  are valued at  their fair value as
    determined in  good faith  under  procedures established  by and  under  the
    general  supervision of  the Trustees; (6)  certain of  the Fund's portfolio
    securities may  be valued  by an  outside pricing  service approved  by  the
    Trustees.  The  pricing  service  utilizes  a  matrix  system  incorporating
    and/or   research  and  evaluations  by   its  staff,  including  review  of
    broker-dealer market price  quotations, in determining  what it believes  is
    the fair valuation of the securities valued by such pricing service; and (7)
    short-term  debt securities having  a maturity date of  more than sixty days
    are valued on  a mark-to-market basis,  that is, at  prices based on  market
    quotations  for securities of  a similar type,  yield, quality and maturity,
    until sixty  days  prior  to  maturity and  thereafter  at  amortized  cost.
    Short-term  debt securities having a maturity date  of sixty days or less at
    the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    B. ACCOUNTING FOR  INVESTMENTS--Security transactions are  accounted for  on
    the  trade date (date the order to  buy or sell is executed). Realized gains
    and losses on security  transactions are determined  on the identified  cost
    method.  Dividend income  is recorded  on the  ex-dividend date,  except for
    certain dividends on foreign  securities which are recorded  as soon as  the
    Fund  is informed  after the  ex-dividend date.  Interest income  is accrued
    daily except where collection is not expected. In determining net investment
    income, Money Market amortizes premiums  and discounts on securities  owned;
    gains  and losses  realized upon  the sale of  such securities  are based on
    their amortized  cost. All  other  Portfolios do  not amortize  premiums  or
    accrue  discounts on fixed income securities except original issue discounts
    which are required for federal income  tax purposes. With respect to  market
    discount  on bonds, a portion of  any capital gain realized upon disposition
    may be recharacterized as investment income.

    C. OPTIONS AND  FUTURES--(1) Written options  on debt obligations,  equities
    and  foreign currency: When the Fund writes  a call or put option, an amount
    equal to the premium received is included in the Fund's Statement of  Assets
    and  Liabilities as an asset  and as an equivalent  liability. The amount of
    the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market
    value of the option written. If a written option either expires or the  Fund
    enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain or loss
    without  regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or
    currency and the  liability related  to such  option is  extinguished. If  a
    written  call option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the
    sale of the underlying security or currency and the proceeds from such  sale
    Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received
    reduces the cost of the security  which the Fund purchases upon exercise  of
    the  option; (2) Purchased options on debt obligations, equities and foreign
    currency: When the Fund purchases a call or put option, the premium paid  is
    recorded  as an investment  and is subsequently  marked-to-market to reflect
    the current  market value.  If a  purchased option  expires, the  Fund  will
    realize  a loss to the extent of the premium paid. If the Fund enters into a
    closing sale transaction,  a gain  or loss  is realized  for the  difference
    between  the proceeds  from the sale  and the cost  of the option.  If a put
    option is exercised,  the cost of  the security sold  upon exercise will  be
    increased by the premium originally paid. If a call option is exercised, the
    cost  of  the security  purchased  upon exercise  will  be increased  by the
    premium originally  paid; (3)  Options  on futures  contracts: The  Fund  is
    required  to  deposit U.S.  Government  securities as  "initial  margin" and
    "variation margin", with respect to written call and put options on  futures
    contracts.  If a  written option  expires, the  Fund realizes  a gain.  If a
    written call or put option is exercised, the premium received will  decrease
    or increase the unrealized loss or gain, respectively, on the future. If the
    Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain or
    loss without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying futures
    contract  and  the liability  related to  such  option is  extinguished; (4)
    Futures contracts: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to
    buy and sell financial  instruments at a  set price on  a future date.  Upon
    entering  into such a contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker
    cash or  U.S. Government  securities  equal to  the minimum  initial  margin
    requirements  of the applicable futures  exchange. Pursuant to the contract,
    the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal
    to the daily  fluctuation in  the value of  the contract.  Such receipts  or
    payments,  variation margin, are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or
    losses. Upon closing of the contract, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal
    to the difference  between the  value of  the contract  at the  time it  was
    opened and the value at the time it was closed.

    D.  FOREIGN CURRENCY  TRANSLATION--The books  and records  of the Portfolios
    investing in foreign currency  denominated transactions are translated  into
    U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign
<PAGE>
DEAN WITTER VARIABLE INVESTMENTS SERIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
    currency market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities
    and forward contracts are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the
    end  of  the  period; and  (2)  purchases,  sales, income  and  expenses are
    translated at the exchange rate prevailing  on the respective dates of  such
    transactions.  The resultant exchange  gains and losses  are included in the
    Statement of Operations.  Pursuant to U.S.  Federal income tax  regulations,
    certain  foreign exchange  gains/losses included in  realized and unrealized
    gain/loss are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income for  federal
    income  tax  purposes. The  Portfolios do  not isolate  that portion  of the
    results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange
    rates from the changes in the market prices of the securities.

    E. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE  CONTRACTS--Some of the Portfolios  are
    permitted  to enter  into forward foreign  currency exchange  contracts as a
    hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Forward contracts  are
    valued  daily at the appropriate exchange rates and any resulting unrealized
    currency gains  or  losses  are  reflected  in  the  respective  Portfolios'
    accounts.  The Portfolios record realized gains or losses on delivery of the
    currency.

    F. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--The Fund's custodian takes possession on behalf of
    the Fund of the collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements.
    It is the policy of the Fund  to value the underlying collateral daily on  a
    mark-to-market   basis  to  determine  that  the  value,  including  accrued
    interest, is at least equal to  the repurchase price plus accrued  interest.
    In  the event of default  of the obligation to  repurchase, the Fund has the
    right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction  of
    the obligation.

    G. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS--It is the Fund's policy to comply individually
    for  each  Portfolio  with the  requirements  of the  Internal  Revenue Code
    applicable to regulated investment  companies and to  distribute all of  its
    taxable  income  to its  shareholders.  Accordingly, no  federal  income tax
    provision is required.

    H. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS  TO SHAREHOLDERS--The Fund records  dividends
    and  distributions to  its shareholders  on the  record date.  The amount of
    dividends and  distributions from  net investment  income and  net  realized
    capital   gains  are  determined  in  accordance  with  federal  income  tax
    regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting  principles.
    These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in
    nature.  To  the  extent these  differences  are permanent  in  nature, such
    tax-basis  treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
    Dividends and  distributions  which exceed  net  investment income  and  net
    realized  capital gains  for financial  reporting purposes  but not  for tax
    purposes are reported  as dividends in  excess of net  investment income  or
    distributions  in excess of  net realized capital gains.  To the extent they
    exceed net  investment  income  and  net  realized  capital  gains  for  tax
    purposes, they are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.

    I.  EXPENSES--Direct expenses  are charged  to the  respective Portfolio and
    general corporate  expenses  are allocated  on  the basis  of  relative  net
    assets.

2.  INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS--Pursuant to an Investment
Management  Agreement, Dean Witter InterCapital  Inc. (the "Investment Manager")
manages  the  Fund's  investments.  Under  the  Agreement,  the  Fund  pays  its
Investment  Manager a monthly  management fee, calculated  and accrued daily, by
applying  the  following  annual  rates  to  the  each  Portfolios'  net  assets
determined at the close of each business day: Money Market, Quality Income Plus,
High Yield, Equity and Managed Assets--0.50%; Dividend Growth--0.625%; Utilities

Dividend  Growth--0.75%; European Growth and Pacific Growth--1.0%. Effective May
1, 1994, the Agreement was amended to reduce the annual rates of Dividend Growth
and Utilities to 0.50% and 0.55%, respectively,  to be applied to the daily  net
assets of each of the respective Portfolios exceeding $500 million.

    Under  the  terms  of the  Agreement,  in  addition to  managing  the Fund's
investments, the Investment Manager  maintains certain of  the Fund's books  and
records  and furnishes, at its own expense, office space, facilities, equipment,
clerical, bookkeeping and certain  legal services and pays  the salaries of  all
personnel,  including officers of  the Fund who are  employees of the Investment
Manager. The Investment Manager also bears the cost of telephone services, heat,
light, power and other utilities provided to the Fund.

    Under a Sub-Advisory Agreement  between Morgan Grenfell Investment  Services
Limited (the "Sub-Advisor") and the Investment Manager, the Sub-Advisor provides
European  Growth  and  Pacific  Growth  with  investment  advice  and  portfolio
management relating to the Portfolios' investments in securities, subject to the
overall supervision of the Investment Manager. As compensation for its  services
provided pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Investment Manager pays the
Sub-Advisor monthly compensation equal to 40% of its monthly compensation.

such  time as Global Dividend Growth and  Pacific Growth each had $50 million of

    Capital losses incurred after October 31 ("Post-October losses") within  the
taxable  year are deemed to  arise on the first  business day of the Portfolios'
next taxable year. The following Portfolios incurred and will elect to defer net
capital  losses  for  fiscal  1993:  Capital  Growth--$165,000;  Quality  Income
Plus--$39,000 and Utilities--$418,000. To the extent that these carryover losses
are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains so offset
will not be distributed to shareholders.

5.  FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS WITH  OFF-BALANCE SHEET  RISK--As of  June 30,  1994,
Global  Dividend  Growth, European  Growth  and Pacific  Growth  had outstanding
forward foreign currency  exchange contracts  ("forward contracts")  as a  hedge
against changes in foreign exchange rates. Forward contracts involve elements of
market  risk in excess  of the amount  reflected in the  Statement of Assets and
Liabilities. The  Portfolios bear  the  risk of  an  unfavorable change  in  the
foreign  exchange rates underlying  the forward contracts.  Risks may also arise
upon  entering  into  these  contracts  from  the  potential  inability  of  the
counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
