MAS OVERVIEW
- ---------------------------------------------------------
The Advisory Foreign Fixed Income Portfolio is used as a vehicle for making
opportunistic foreign bond investments in core fixed-income portfolios managed
by Miller Anderson & Sherrerd. This strategy concentrates on enhancing total
returns through investments in foreign fixed-income securities and is managed as
one component of a diversified portfolio. All securities held in the Portfolio
have a credit quality of A or better. Derivatives may be used to represent
country investments or otherwise pursue portfolio strategy. Investment results
for this fund should not be analyzed on a stand-alone basis, but as part of the
total return for a diversified fixed-income investment. Returns are presented
here in compliance with reporting requirements for mutual funds. The Portfolio
is available only to private advisory clients of Miller Anderson & Sherrerd,
LLP.

that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth either more or less than
their original cost.
 
The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fees and reimburse
certain expenses to the extent necessary to keep total annual operating expenses
for the Advisory Foreign Fixed Income Portfolio from exceeding 0.15% of average
daily net assets.
 
* The Advisory Foreign Fixed Income Portfolio commenced operations on 10/7/94.
  All returns are compared to the Salomon Broad Investment Grade Index, an

MAS OVERVIEW
- ---------------------------------------------------------
The Emerging Markets Portfolio invests primarily in common stocks of emerging
markets issuers throughout the world, investing in more than 50 stocks from more
than 12 countries. Miller Anderson & Sherrerd evaluates both short-term and
long-term international economic trends and relative attractiveness of emerging
markets and individual emerging market securities to achieve the Portfolio's
objective of long-term capital growth. Valuation techniques and business
dynamics are emphasized in determining country allocation and stock selection.
Foreign currency exposure is actively managed, but is not often hedged due to
the high cost of hedging transactions. The Portfolio is available only to
private advisory clients of Miller Anderson & Sherrerd, LLP.

MAS Funds returns are net of all fees. Returns represent past performance and
are not indicative of future results.
 
The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so
that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth either more or less than
their original cost.
 
The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fees and reimburse
certain expenses to the extent necessary to keep total annual operating expenses
for the Emerging Markets Portfolio from exceeding 1.18% of average daily net
assets.
 
*The Emerging Markets Portfolio commenced operations on 2/28/95. All returns are
 compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Free
 Index, an unmanaged market index. Returns for periods less than one year are
 cumulative.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
MAS Funds (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940
as an open-end investment company. Advisory Foreign Fixed Income, Advisory
Mortgage and Emerging Markets Portfolio, each referred to as a "Portfolio",
commenced operations on October 7, 1994, April 12, 1995 and February 28, 1995,
respectively. At March 31, 1997, the Fund was comprised of twenty-four active
portfolios. The financial statements of the remaining portfolios are presented
separately.
 
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies. Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in
the preparation of its financial statements. Generally accepted accounting
principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.
 
 1.  SECURITY VALUATION: Market values for equity securities listed on the New
     York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") or other U.S. exchanges or NASDAQ are based
     on the latest quoted sales prices as of the close of the NYSE (normally
     4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on the valuation date; securities not traded on
     the valuation date are valued at the mean of the most recent quoted bid
     and asked prices. Equity securities not listed are valued at the mean of
     the most recent bid and asked prices. Securities listed on foreign
     exchanges are valued at the latest quoted sales prices. Bonds, including
     municipal bonds, and other fixed income securities are valued using
     brokers' quotations or on the basis of prices, provided by a pricing
     service, which are based primarily on institutional size trading in
     similar groups of securities. Mortgage-backed securities issued by certain
     government-related organizations are valued using brokers' quotations
     which are based on a matrix system which considers such factors as other
     security prices, yields and maturities. Short term securities are valued
     using the amortized cost method of valuation, which in the opinion of the
     Board of Trustees reflects fair value. Securities for which no quotations
     are readily available (including restricted securities) are valued at fair
     value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of
     Trustees.
 
 2.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is each Portfolio's intention to continue to
     qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its
     taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is
     required in the financial statements.
 
 3.  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
     agreements are held by the Portfolios' custodian bank until maturity of
     the of the repurchase agreements. Provisions of the agreements ensure that
     the market value of the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase
     value in the event of default; however, in the event of default or
     bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
     retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
 
     Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange
     Commission, the Portfolios may transfer their uninvested cash balances
     into a joint trading account with other Portfolios of the Fund which
     invests in one or more repurchase agreements. This joint repurchase
     agreement is covered by the same collateral requirements as discussed
     above.
 
 4.  FUTURES: Futures contracts (secured by securities deposited with brokers
     as "initial margin") are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement
     prices; changes in initial settlement value (represented by cash paid to
     or received from brokers as "variation margin") are accounted for as
     unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When futures contracts are closed,
     the difference between the opening value at the date of
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                                       20

                                                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
     purchase and the value at closing is recorded as realized gains or losses
     in the Statement of Operations.
 
     Futures contracts may be used by each Portfolio in order to hedge against
     unfavorable changes in the value of securities or to attempt to realize
     profits from the value of the underlying securities. Futures contracts
     involve market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of
     Net Assets. Risks arise from the possible movements in security values
     underlying these instruments. The change in value of futures contracts
     primarily corresponds with the value of their underlying instruments,
     which may not correlate with the change in value of the hedged
     investments. In addition, there is a risk that a Portfolio may not be able
     to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary
     market.
 
 5.  SWAP AGREEMENTS: Each Portfolio can enter into swap agreements to exchange
     the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another
     instrument. The following summarizes swaps entered into by the Portfolios:
 
     Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of
     commitments to pay and receive interest based on a notional principal
     amount. Net periodic interest payments to be received or paid are accrued
     daily and are recorded in the Statement of Operations as an adjustment to
     interest income. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon
     quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as
     unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations.
 
     Total Return Swaps: Total return swaps involve commitments to pay interest
     in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the
     extent the total return of the security or index underlying the
     transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest obligation,
     the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the
     counterparty, respectively. Total return swaps are marked-to-market daily
     based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is
     recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations.
     Periodic payments received or made at the end of each measurement period,
     but prior to the termination, are recorded as realized gains or losses in
     the Statement of Operations.
 
     Realized gains or losses on maturity or termination of interest rate and
     total return swaps are presented in the Statement of Operations. Because
     there is no organized market for these swap agreements, the value reported
     in the Statement of Net Assets may differ from that which would be
     realized in the event the Portfolio terminated its position in the
     agreement. Risks may arise upon entering into these agreements from the
     potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the
     agreements and are generally limited to the amount of net interest
     payments to be received and/or any favorable movements in the value of the
     underlying security, if any at the date of default.
 
 6.  WRITTEN INTEREST RATE FLOOR AGREEMENTS: A Portfolio will utilize written
     interest rate floors to protect itself against fluctuations in interest
     rates. When a Portfolio writes an interest rate floor, it agrees to make
     periodic interest payments based on a notional principal amount to the
     extent that a specified interest index falls below a specified interest
     rate in exchange for the premium received. When a Portfolio writes an
     interest rate floor the premium received by the Portfolio is recorded as a
     liability and is amortized to interest income over the life of the
     agreement. Interest rate floors are marked-to-market daily based on
     quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as
     unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statement of Operations.
     Periodic payments of interest, if

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
     any, are reported as reductions to interest income in the Statement of
     Operations. Realized gains or losses from these agreements are disclosed
     in the Statement of Operations.
 
     Because there is no organized market for these agreements, the value
     reported in the Statement of Net Assets may differ from that which would
     be realized in the event the Portfolio terminated its position in the
     agreement. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees,
     elements of interest rate and market risk in excess of the amount
     recognized in the Statement of Net Assets. Such risks involve the
     possibility that there may be no liquid market for these agreements and
     that there may be adverse changes in interest rates or the index
     underlying these transactions.
 
 7.  STRUCTURED INVESTMENTS: Certain Portfolios may invest in structured
     investments whose values are linked either directly or inversely to
     changes in foreign currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices, or
     other underlying instruments. A Portfolio uses these securities to
     increase or decrease its exposure to different underlying instruments and
     to gain exposure to markets that might be difficult to invest in through
     conventional securities. Structured investments may be more volatile than
     their underlying instruments, but any loss is limited to the amount of the
     original investment.
 
 8.  DELAYED DELIVERY COMMITMENTS: Each Portfolio may purchase or sell
     securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and
     delivery may take place a month or more after the date of the transaction.
     The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities
     will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is
     negotiated. Collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash is
     maintained in an amount at least equal to these commitments.
 
 9.  PURCHASED OPTIONS: Certain Portfolios may purchase call and put options on
     its portfolio securities. A call option, upon payment of a premium, gives
     the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the seller the
     obligation to sell, the underlying instrument at the exercise price. The
     purchase of a call option might be intended to protect the Portfolio
     against an increase in the price of the underlying instrument that it
     intends to purchase in the future by fixing the price at which it may
     purchase the instrument. A put option gives the purchaser of the option,
     upon payment of a premium, the right to sell, and the writer the
     obligation to buy, the instrument at the exercise price. A Portfolio may
     purchase a put option to protect its holdings in the underlying
     instrument, or a similar instrument, against a substantial decline in the
     market value of such instrument by giving the Portfolio the right to sell
     the instrument at the option exercise price. Possible losses from
     purchased options cannot exceed the total amount invested.
 
10.  FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS: The books and records of
     the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are
     translated into U.S. dollars at the bid prices of such currencies against
     U.S. dollars quoted by a bank. Net realized gains (losses) on foreign
     currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from
     forward foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies,
     currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates
     on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of
     investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on a Portfolio's
     books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
 
     A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to
     buy or sell currency at a set price on a future date. Each Portfolio may
     enter into forward

                                                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
     foreign currency contracts to protect securities and related receivables
     and payables against future changes in foreign exchange rates.
     Fluctuations in the value of such contracts are recorded as unrealized
     appreciation or depreciation; realized gains or losses, which are
     disclosed in the Statement of Operations, include net gains or losses on
     contracts which have been terminated by settlements. Risks may arise upon
     entering into these contracts from the potential inability of
     counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and are generally
     limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the contract (if any) at the
     date of default. Risks may also arise from unanticipated movements in the
     value of the foreign currency relative to U.S. dollar.
 
11. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The Advisory Foreign Fixed
    Income and the Advisory Mortgage Portfolios will normally distribute
    substantially all of their net investment income to shareholders in the
    form of quarterly and monthly dividends, respectively. The Emerging Markets
    Portfolio normally distributes substantially all of its net investment
    income in the form of annual dividends. Net realized capital gains are
    distributed at least annually. The amount and character of income and gains
    to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations
    which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These
    differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency
    transactions.
 
    Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions
    may result in reclassifications to undistributed net investment income
    (loss), undistributed realized net gain (loss) and paid in capital.
 
12. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities
    are purchased or sold. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses
    on the sale of investment securities are those of specific securities sold.
 
Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Discounts
and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over their respective lives.
Most expenses of the Fund can be directly attributed to a Portfolio. Expenses
which can not be directly attributed are apportioned among the portfolios on
the basis of their relative net assets.
 
Permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in ending
undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of calculating net
investment income (loss) per share in the Financial Highlights.
 
B. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: Under the terms of an Investment Advisory
Agreement, each Portfolio pays Miller Anderson & Sherrerd, LLP ("MAS" or the
"Adviser"), wholly owned by indirect subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley Group,
Inc., for investment advisory services performed at a fee calculated by
applying a quarterly rate based on an annual percentage rate of 0.375% for
Advisory Foreign Fixed and Advisory Mortgage Portfolios and 0.750%, for the
Emerging Markets Portfolio, of each Portfolio's average daily net assets for
the quarter.
 
Until further notice, the Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory
fees and, if necessary, reimburse the Portfolios if annual operating expenses
exceed 0.15%, 0.08% and 1.18% of average daily net assets of the Advisory
Foreign Fixed Income, Advisory Mortgage, and Emerging Markets Portfolios,
respectively.
 
C. ADMINISTRATION FEE: MAS serves as Administrator to the Fund pursuant to an
Administration Agreement. Under the Agreement, MAS receives an annual fee
accrued daily and payable monthly, of 0.08% of each Portfolio's average daily
net assets. Chase Global Funds Services Company serves as Transfer Agent to the
Fund and provides fund accounting and other services pursuant to a
sub-administration agreement with MAS and receives compensation from MAS for
these services.
 
D. CUSTODY: Morgan Stanley Trust Company (NY) ("MSTC"), an affiliate of the
Funds, serves

as custodian for the Fund's assets held outside of the United States in
accordance with a custodian agreement. MSTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Morgan Stanley Group, Inc.
 
For the six months ended March 31, 1997, the Advisory Foreign Fixed Income and
the Emerging Markets Portfolios incurred fees of $24,000 and $35,000 with MSTC,
of which $13,000 and $26,000, respectively, were payable to MSTC at March 31,
1997.
 
E. TRUSTEES FEES: The Fund pays each Trustee, who is not also an officer or
affiliated person, an annual fee plus travel and other expenses incurred in
attending Board meetings. Trustees who are also officers or affiliated persons
receive no remuneration for their service as Trustees.
 
Each eligible Trustee of the Fund who is not an officer or affiliated person,
as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, participates
in the Trustees' Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the Trustees Deferred
Compensation Plan, such Trustees must defer at least 25% of their fees and may
elect to defer payment up to 100% of their total fees earned as a Trustee of
the Fund. These deferred amounts are credited to an account that will be
treated as if they have been invested in the Portfolios selected by the
Trustee. The deferred fees payable, and the corresponding value of shares owned
by the Portfolios to hedge the potential change in value of the deferred fees,
at March 31, 1997, totaled $46,000. The value of shares owned by the Portfolios
is included in Other Assets in each Portfolios Statement of Net Assets.
 
Expenses for the six months ended March 31, 1997 include legal fees paid to
Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, LLP. A partner of that firm is secretary to the Fund.

G. EXPENSE OFFSETS. Custodian fees appearing in the Statement of Operations
have been adjusted to include expense offsets for custodian balance credits of
$2,000 and $87,000 for the Advisory Foreign Fixed Income and the Advisory
Mortgage Portfolios, respectively.
 
H. OTHER. At March 31, 1997, the Advisory Foreign Fixed Income and Emerging
Markets Portfolios' net assets were substantially comprised of foreign
denominated securities and currency. The net assets of the Portfolio are
presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the
period. The Portfolio does not isolate that portion of the results of
operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from
the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities
held at period end. Similarly, the Portfolio does not isolate the effect of
changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in
the market prices of securities sold during the period. Accordingly, realized
and unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net
realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions and balances.
Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of and investment
income from such securities and currency.
 
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations
and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated
transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibly lower level of
governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the
possibility of political or economic instability.
 
At March 31, 1997 the Advisory Foreign Fixed Income and the Emerging Markets
Portfolios had one and three shareholders, respectively, owning an aggregate
percentage of 10% or greater.
