CALCULATION:  During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, pursuant to Rule
24f-2; the TOTAL actual aggregate sales price for which such securities were
sold was (A) $4,501,874,760 and the TOTAL actual aggregate redemption price of
securities redeemed by the Registrant was (B) $2,220,519,148.  No portion of
such aggregate redemption price has been applied by Registrant pursuant to Rule
24e-2(a) in a filing made pursuant to Section 24(e)(1) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940.  Pursuant to Rule 24f-2(c), the registration fee with
respect to the securities sold is calculated as follows: 
((A)$4,501,874,760 - (B)$2,220,519,148) / 2,900 =$786,674.35.  
Funds in the amount of $786,674.35 have been wired to the SEC's account at 
Mellon Bank.

An opinion of counsel with respect to the legality of the above shares
accompanies this Notice.

                 Re:      Rule 24f-2 Notice for MAS Funds
                          (Registration No. 2-89729)     

Ladies and Gentlemen:

MAS Funds (formerly known as the MAS Pooled Trust Fund and hereinafter referred
to as the "Fund") is a business trust established under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with its principal place of business in West
Conshohocken, Pennsylvania.  The Fund is an open-end management investment
company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").  This
opinion relates to shares of beneficial interest, without par value, issued by
the Fund in reliance upon Rule 24f-2 for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1995, the registration of which is made definite by the filing of the attached
Notice.

We have reviewed all proceedings taken by the Fund in connection with the
authorization of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without
par value, which have been offered under prospectuses included as part of the
Fund's Registration Statement on Form N-1A, as amended to the date hereof,
which has been filed with the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 and
the 1940 Act (collectively, the "Prospectus").

We are of the opinion that such shares of beneficial interest, when sold and
issued in return for the payment described in the Fund's Prospectus, were
legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Fund.

The Fund is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Pennsylvania business
trust."  Under Pennsylvania law, shareholders could, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the Fund.  The
By-laws
<PAGE>   6
One Tower Bridge

Page 2




of the Fund states that creditors of contractors with and claimants against the
Fund shall look only to the assets of the Fund for payment.  It also requires
that notice of such disclaimer be given in each contract or instrument made or
issued by the officers or the Trustees of the Fund on behalf of the Fund.  The
By-laws of the Fund further provide:  (i) for indemnification out of Fund
assets for all loss and expense of any shareholder held personally liable for
the obligations of the Fund by virtue of ownership of Shares of the Fund; and
(ii) for the Fund to assume the defense of any claim against the shareholder
for any act or obligation of the Fund.  Thus, the risk of a shareholder
incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to
circumstances in which the Fund would be unable to meet its obligations.

I hereby consent to this opinion accompanying the Rule 24f-2 Notice which the
Fund is about to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


                                        Very truly yours,


                                        /s/ MORGAN, LEWIS & BOCKIUS LLP
