          Government Income Portfolio

   Following  a historic year in 1994 during which we saw unprecedented upheaval
and losses  in the  bond market,  no one  expected that  1995 would  be  another
historic  year. So much for  the consensus. The bond  market rally that began in
early 1995 and continues to this  date resulted in interest rates dropping  over
200  basis  points  across most  maturities  of the  intermediate  and long-term
Treasury bonds  and  total  returns  exceeding 30%  in  some  sectors,  rivaling
equities  for the best performing  asset class. We are  happy to report that the
Government Income  Portfolio shared  in  a good  portion  of the  bond  market's
phenomenal year.
   Like  most  market participants,  we  entered 1995  on  a cautious  note, not
anticipating the power of the bond market  rally that was to come. Our  strategy
early  in the year was  to invest heavily in the  mortgage sector in response to
slowing prepayment speeds and attractive yield spreads over comparable  maturity
Treasuries.  As  interest rates  dropped and  prepayment speeds  accelerated, we
reduced our exposure  to high  coupon mortgage  pass-throughs in  favor of  U.S.
Treasuries.   As  prepayment  speeds   increased,  the  collateralized  mortgage
obligation (CMO)  bond market  also  suffered. In  response  to this  trend,  we
lowered substantially our commitment to CMO bonds. In reducing our commitment to
the  mortgage sector, we chose to invest  in U.S. Treasuries over corporates due
to historically tight credit  spreads (when yields  between high- and  low-grade
credit  qualities are  very close) that  we believed did  not provide sufficient
value. We also allocated a portion  of the Portfolio to the asset-backed  sector
which has had more stable average life characteristics in volatile interest rate
environments.
   The  increase in mortgage prepayment speeds during 1995 decreased the average
maturity of  most  mortgages, and,  in  turn, shortened  the  average  portfolio
maturity.  To offset  this trend,  we purchased  longer-term Treasuries.  As the
rally became  firmly  entrenched,  we  also  used  Treasuries  to  substantially
increase  the  portfolio's  average maturity  and  corresponding  sensitivity to
interest rates in order to  achieve greater capital appreciation. This  strategy
was  highly successful in the  second half of the  year. The portfolio ended the
year with an average maturity of approximately 10 years.
   As 1995 came  to a close,  we started  to increase our  commitment to  agency
pass-throughs  as the  mortgage sector  appeared to  offer some  good value once
again. Expectations of increasing prepayments have been reflected in wider yield
spreads, and now seem to provide fair compensation for the risk.
   Our prudent  sector  and  maturity  management  helped  us  to  navigate  the
Portfolio through a difficult mortgage bond market and allowed us to participate
in the rewards of an unprecedented overall bond market rally in 1995.

   Life of Government Income Portfolio is from 3/22/94.

   Neuberger&Berman Management Inc. voluntarily bears certain operating expenses
of  the Fund  in excess  of 1.0%  per annum  of average  daily net  assets. This
arrangement can be terminated upon  60 days' notice. Absent such  reimbursement,
the average annual total returns for the period from 3/22/94 to 12/31/95 and for
the one year ended 12/31/95 would have been +5.06% and +8.84%, respectively.

*"Total Return" is calculated including reinvestment of all income dividends and
capital  gain  distributions.  Results  represent past  performance  and  do not
indicate future results. The value of an  investment in the Fund and the  return
on  the investment both will fluctuate, and redemption proceeds may be higher or
lower than an investor's original cost.

The  Salomon  Brothers  Mortgage  Index  is  an  unmanaged  total  return  index
consisting  of all  Agency pass-throughs, GNMA,  FNMA, and  FHLMC securities and
75-day, 30- and 15-year securities, and FHA and GNMA project loans. Please  note
that  indices do not take into account any fees and expenses of investing in the
individual securities  that  they  track, and  that  individuals  cannot  invest
directly  in any  index. These data  are derived  by Neuberger&Berman Management
Inc. and include reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions.

Performance  data  are  historical  and  include  changes  in  share  price  and
reinvestment  of dividends  and capital gain  distributions. Performance numbers
are net of all Fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges
imposed by your insurance company's variable annuity or variable life  insurance
policy.  If this  performance information included  the effect  of the insurance
charges, performance numbers would be lower.

Neuberger&Berman Advisers Management Trust                     December 31, 1995

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

          Government Income Portfolio

NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
1) GENERAL:  Government Income  Portfolio (the "Fund")  is a  separate series of
   Neuberger&Berman Advisers Management Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware business
   trust organized pursuant to a Trust Instrument dated May 23, 1994. The  Trust
   is  currently comprised  of six separate  series (the "Funds").  The Trust is
   registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the
   Investment Company Act of 1940, as  amended (the "1940 Act"), and its  shares
   are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").
   The  predecessors of the Funds were converted  into the Funds after the close
   of business  on April  28, 1995  (the "conversion");  these conversions  were
   approved  by the  shareholders of  the predecessors  of the  Funds in August,
   1994. The predecessor  of the Fund  had no operations  until March 22,  1994,
   other  than  matters  relating  to its  organization  and  registration  as a
   diversified, open-end management investment company  under the 1940 Act,  and
   registration  of its shares under the 1933 Act. The trustees of the Trust may
   establish additional  series or  classes of  shares without  the approval  of
   shareholders.
       The assets of each fund belong  only to that fund, and the liabilities of
   each fund are borne solely by that fund and no other.
      The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its
   net investable assets in the AMT  Government Income Investments, a series  of
   Advisers  Managers Trust (the "Series")  having the same investment objective
   and policies as the Fund.  The value of the  Fund's investment in the  Series
   reflects  the Fund's proportionate  interest in the net  assets of the Series
   (100% at December 31, 1995). The performance of the Fund is directly affected
   by the performance  of the Series.  The financial statements  of the  Series,
   including  the schedule of investments, are included elsewhere in this report
   and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.
2) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments in the Series of Advisers Managers Trust are
   valued by Advisers  Managers Trust as  indicated in the  notes following  the
   Series' schedule of investments.
3) FEDERAL  INCOME TAXES: The Fund and the other series of the Trust are treated
   as separate entities for Federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the
   Fund to continue to  qualify as a regulated  investment company by  complying
   with  the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in
   applicable sections of the Internal  Revenue Code, and to make  distributions
   of  taxable income  (after reduction  for any  amounts available  for Federal
   income tax purposes as capital  loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve  it
   from  all, or substantially all, Federal  income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund
   paid no Federal income  taxes and no provision  for Federal income taxes  was
   required.
4) DIVIDENDS  AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO  SHAREHOLDERS: The Fund  earns income, net of
   Series expenses,  daily  on  its  investment in  the  Series.  Dividends  and
   distributions   from  net  realized  capital  gains,  if  any,  are  normally
   distributed in February. Income dividends  and capital gain distributions  to
   shareholders  are recorded  on the ex-dividend  date. To the  extent that the
   Fund's net realized  capital gains,  if any, can  be offset  by capital  loss
   carryforwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains.

                                                                               7

Neuberger&Berman Advisers Management Trust                     December 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Government Income Portfolio

       The Fund  distinguishes between dividends on a  tax basis and a financial
   reporting basis and only  distributions in excess of  tax basis earnings  and
   profits  are reported  in the  financial statements  as a  return of capital.
   Differences in  the  recognition  or classification  of  income  between  the
   financial  statements and tax earnings and  profits which result in temporary
   over-distributions  for  financial  statement  purposes  are  classified   as
   distributions  in excess of net investment income or accumulated net realized
   gains.
5) ORGANIZATION EXPENSES: Expenses incurred by  the Fund in connection with  its
   organization  are being amortized by the Fund on a straight-line basis over a
   five-year period.  At December  31,  1995, the  unamortized balance  of  such
   expenses  amounted to $9,304.  The accrued organization  costs are payable to
   Neuberger&Berman Management Incorporated ("Management"), the administrator to
   the Fund.
6) EXPENSE ALLOCATION: Expenses directly attributable  to a fund are charged  to
   that  fund. Expenses not directly attributed to  a fund are allocated, on the
   basis of relative net assets, to each of the funds of the Trust.
7) OTHER: All net investment  income and realized  and unrealized capital  gains
   and  losses of the Series are allocated pro rata among the Fund and any other
   investors in the Series.

NOTE B -- ADMINISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH
AFFILIATES:
   Fund shares are  issued and redeemed  in connection with  investments in  and
payments  under certain variable  annuity contracts and  variable life insurance
policies issued through separate accounts of life insurance companies.
   The Fund  retains Management  as its  administrator under  an  Administration
Agreement  ("Agreement") dated as of May 1, 1995. Pursuant to this Agreement the
Fund pays Management an  administration fee at  the annual rate  of .40% of  the
Fund's  average daily net  assets and indirectly  pays for investment management
services through its investment in the Series. (See Note B of Notes to Financial
Statements of the Series.) Prior to conversion, the predecessor of the Fund paid
to Management for investment advisory and  administrative services a fee at  the
annual rate of .60% of its average daily net assets.
   On  April 16, 1993, the shareholders of the Trust adopted a distribution plan
("Plan") which provided that the predecessor to  the Trust, on behalf of any  of
its  series, could reimburse Management after  each calendar quarter for certain
distribution expenses in an amount  not to exceed .25%,  on an annual basis,  of
that  series' average daily net assets as of the close of such calendar quarter.
The Plan became effective on May 1,  1993, was implemented on November 1,  1993,
and  was terminated on April 30, 1995. For  the period ended April 30, 1995, the
Fund paid $152  for such expense.  Effective May  1, 1995, the  trustees of  the
Trust adopted a non-fee distribution plan for each series of the Trust.
   Management has voluntarily undertaken to reimburse the Fund for its operating
expenses and its pro rata share of its Series' operating expenses (including the
compensation  of Management under  the Administration Agreement  and the Series'
Management Agreement,  but  excluding interest,  taxes,  brokerage  commissions,
extraordinary  expenses,  transaction  costs,  and  any  payments  to Management
pursuant to the Plan) which exceed, in the aggregate, 1% per annum of the Fund's
average daily  net  assets.  This  undertaking  is  subject  to  termination  by
Management  upon at least sixty (60) days'  prior written notice to the Fund, as
it was for its predecessor prior to the conversion. For the year ended  December
31, 1995, such excess expenses amounted to $46,494.

          Government Income Portfolio

   Since  inception of  the Fund, Management  has voluntarily  undertaken to pay
certain expenses as an  advance. Those expenses  will be repaid  by the Fund  to
Management  in the future, and  are included under the  caption Payable for Fund
expenses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
   All of the capital stock of Management  is owned by individuals who are  also
general  partners of Neuberger& Berman, L.P. ("Neuberger"), a member firm of The
New York Stock Exchange and the  sub-adviser to the Series. Several  individuals
who  are officers and/or  trustees of the  Trust are also  partners of Neuberger
and/or officers and/or directors of Management.

NOTE C -- INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS:
   During the  period from  May 1,  1995  to December  31, 1995,  additions  and
reductions  to the  Fund's investment in  its Series amounted  to $1,132,967 and
$161,213, respectively.

NOTE D -- SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:
   Prior to conversion,  there were  purchase and  sale transactions  (excluding
short-term  securities) of $13,175 and  $59,512, respectively, during the period
from January 1, 1995 to April 30, 1995. Transactions occurring subsequent to the
conversion are accounted for by Advisers Managers Trust.

                                                                               9

          Government Income Portfolio
1)The  per share amounts which are shown have been computed based on the average
  number of shares outstanding during each year.
2)The per share amounts and ratios which are shown reflect income and  expenses,
  including the Fund's proportionate share of the Series' income and expenses.
3)The date investment operations commenced.
4)Not annualized.
5)Annualized.
6)Since  the commencement  of operations, the  Administrator voluntarily assumed
  certain operating expenses  of the Fund  as described  in Note B  of Notes  to
  Financial  Statements.  Had such  action not  been undertaken,  the annualized
  ratios of expenses and net investment income to average daily net assets would
  have been 4.21% and 2.55%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1995,
  and 2.57% and 3.30%, respectively, for the period ended December 31, 1994.
7)The Fund transferred all of its investment securities into its Series on April
  28, 1995.  After that  date the  Fund invested  only in  its Series  and  that
  Series,  rather than the Fund,  engaged in securities transactions. Therefore,
  after that date the  Fund had no portfolio  turnover rate. Portfolio  turnover
  rates  for the periods ending  after April 28, 1995  are included elsewhere in
  AMT Government Income Investments' Financial Highlights.
+ Total return  based on  per share  net  asset value  reflects the  effects  of
  changes in net asset value on the performance of the Fund during each year and
  assumes  dividends and  capital gain  distributions, if  any, were reinvested.
  Results represent  past  performance  and do  not  guarantee  future  results.
  Investment returns and principal may fluctuate and shares when redeemed may be
  worth  more or less than  original cost. Total return  figures would have been
  lower if  the Administrator  had not  reimbursed certain  expenses. The  total
  return  information shown does not reflect expenses that apply to the separate
  account or the related insurance policies, and the inclusion of these  charges
  would reduce the total return figures for all years shown.

                                                                              11

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Trustees of
Neuberger&Berman Advisers Management Trust and
Shareholders of Government Income Portfolio

   We  have audited the accompanying statement  of assets and liabilities of the
Government Income  Portfolio,  one  of the  series  comprising  Neuberger&Berman
Advisers  Management Trust as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes in net  assets,
and  financial highlights for the year then  ended and for the period from March
22, 1994  (Commencement of  Operations) to  December 31,  1994. These  financial
statements  and  financial  highlights  are the  responsibility  of  the Trust'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. 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 the
Government Income  Portfolio of  Neuberger&Berman Advisers  Management Trust  at
December  31, 1995, the results  of its operations for  the year then ended, and
the changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the year then  ended,
and  for the period from March 22, 1994 (Commencement of Operations) to December
31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                                                [SIGNATURE]

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

          AMT Government Income Investments

NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

1) GENERAL:  AMT  Government Income  Investments  (the "Series")  is  a separate
   series of Advisers Managers Trust ("Managers  Trust"), a New York common  law
   trust  organized as of May 24, 1994. Managers Trust is currently comprised of
   six separate series. Managers Trust is registered as a diversified,  open-end
   management  investment company under  the Investment Company  Act of 1940, as
   amended. After  the close  of business  on  April 28,  1995, each  series  of
   Neuberger&Berman  Advisers Management Trust (the "Trust") invested all of its
   net  investable  assets  (cash,  securities,  and  receivables  relating   to
   securities)  in  a  corresponding  series  of  Managers  Trust,  receiving  a
   beneficial interest in that series.
      The assets of each series belong only to that series, and the  liabilities
   of each series are borne solely by that series and no other.
2) PORTFOLIO  VALUATION:  Securities  are  valued  as  indicated  in  the  notes
   following the Series' schedule of investments.
3) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND  INVESTMENT INCOME:  Securities transactions  are
   recorded  on  a trade  date basis.  Interest  income, including  accretion of
   discount on  short-term investments  (adjusted for  original issue  discount,
   where  applicable),  is recorded  on the  accrual  basis. Realized  gains and
   losses from securities transactions are  recorded on the basis of  identified
   cost.
4) FEDERAL  INCOME TAXES: Managers Trust intends to comply with the requirements
   of the Internal  Revenue Code of  1986, as amended.  Each Series of  Managers
   Trust  also intends to conduct  its operations so that  each of its investors
   will be able to qualify as  a regulated investment company. Each Series  will
   be  treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and is therefore
   not subject to Federal income tax.
5) ORGANIZATION EXPENSES: Expenses incurred by the Series in connection with its
   organization are being amortized by the Series on a straight-line basis  over
   a  five-year period.  At December 31,  1995, the unamortized  balance of such
   expenses amounted to $18,635. The  accrued organization costs are payable  to
   Neuberger&  Berman  Management  Incorporated  ("Management"),  the investment
   manager of the Series.
6) EXPENSE ALLOCATION: Expenses directly attributable to a series are charged to
   that series. Expenses not directly attributed  to a series are allocated,  on
   the basis of relative net assets, to each of the series of Managers Trust.

NOTE B -- MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
   The  Series retains Management  as its investment  manager under a Management
Agreement ("Agreement") dated as of May 1, 1995. For such investment  management
services,  the Series pays  Management a fee at  the annual rate  of .35% of the
first $500 million of the  Series' average daily net  assets, .325% of the  next
$500 million, .30% of the next $500 million, .275% of the next $500 million, and
 .25% of average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion.
   Since  inception of the Series, Management  has voluntarily undertaken to pay
certain expenses as an advance. Those expenses  will be repaid by the Series  to
Management  in the future, and are included under the caption Payable for Series
expenses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
   All of the capital stock of Management  is owned by individuals who are  also
general  partners of Neuberger& Berman, L.P. ("Neuberger"), a member firm of The
New   York   Stock    Exchange   and    the   sub-adviser    to   the    Series.

                                                                              19

          AMT Government Income Investments
Neuberger   is   retained  by   Management   to  furnish   it   with  investment
recommendations and research  information without  cost to  the Series.  Several
individuals who are officers and/or trustees of Managers Trust are also partners
of Neuberger and/or officers and/or directors of Management.
   The  Series  has  an expense  offset  arrangement included  in  its custodian
contract. The  impact of  this  arrangement on  the Series'  custodian  expense,
reflected  in the Statement of  Operations, is $426, which  is less than .03% of
the Series' average daily net assets.

NOTE C -- SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:
   During the period from May 1,  1995 (commencement of operations) to  December
31,  1995,  there  were  purchase and  sale  transactions  (excluding short-term
securities) of $2,056,729 and $696,273, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Trustees of
Advisers Managers Trust and
Owners of Beneficial Interest of AMT Government Income Investments

   We  have  audited  the  accompanying  statement  of  assets  and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, of the AMT Government Income Investments,
one of the series  comprising Advisers Managers Trust  as of December 31,  1995,
and  the  related statements  of  operations, the  statement  of changes  in net
assets, and financial highlights for the  period from May 1, 1995  (Commencement
of  Operations) to December  31, 1995. These  financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our  responsibility
is  to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audit.
   We conducted  our  audit  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
December 31, 1995,  by correspondence with  the custodian and  brokers or  other
appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 audit  provides 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  the
AMT  Government Income  Investments of Advisers  Managers Trust  at December 31,
1995, the  results  of  its operations,  the  changes  in its  net  assets,  and
financial   highlights  for  the  period  from  May  1,  1995  (Commencement  of
Operations)  to  December  31,  1995,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

                                                                [SIGNATURE]
                                                           /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP
