Dear Shareholder:

November 30, 1997 marked the end of an eventful year for your family of mutual
funds. In December of 1996 shareholders approved a number of changes in the
Funds' administrative structure; a number of Funds changed their names at that
time to reflect modifications in investment focus. Then in March of 1997 the
family changed its name from Monitrend to Monterey. Also in March the family
added an eighth series, the PIA Global Bond Fund.

Despite these changes, some very fundamental aspects of the fund family have
stayed the same. The Funds continue to be managed by experienced investment
management firms and serviced by industry leaders in the fields of custody,
transfer agency and administration. Shareholder servicing facilities have been
upgraded and will continue to offer shareholders current investment options,
including the new Roth IRA and Simple IRA account applications.

The investment management of the Funds is performed by three different firms.
Pacific Income Advisers, Inc. of Santa Monica, California, acts as investment
adviser to the Government Fund, the Equity Fund, the Short-Term Government Fund
and the Global Bond Fund. (Camborne Advisors, Inc. of Dallas, Texas, acts as
sub-adviser to the Government Fund.) Murphy Investment Management, Inc. of Half
Moon Bay, California acts as investment adviser of the Technology Fund, the
Biotechnology Fund and the Convertibles Fund. Orrell Capital Management, a
division of Orrell and Company of San Francisco, California, acts as investment
adviser to the Gold Fund.

The following pages provide detailed information regarding your Fund's schedule
of investments, statement of assets and liabilities, operating results and
financial highlights. We trust you will find the information useful. We
appreciate your continued support of Monterey Mutual Fund.

Lloyd McAdams
Chairman of the Board

                              MONTEREY MUTUAL FUND
               Notes to Financial Statements - November 30, 1997


NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

    Monterey  Mutual Fund (the  "Fund"),  formerly  Monitrend  Mutual  Fund,  is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,  as an open-end
management  investment  company.  The  Fund  was  organized  as a  Massachusetts
business  trust on January 6, 1984 and consists of eight  series of shares:  the
PIA Short Term Government  Securities  Series,  the Camborne  Government  Income
Series (formerly  Government  Income),  the OCM Gold Series (formerly Gold), the
PIA Equity Series (formerly Growth),  the Murphy New World Biotechnology  Series
(formerly Gaming and Leisure),  the Murphy New World Technology Series (formerly
Technology),  the  Murphy New World  Technology  Convertibles  Series  (formerly
Growth & Income),  and the PIA Global Bond Series  (collectively  the "Series"),
each of which has  separate  assets and  liabilities  and  differing  investment
objectives.  The  investment  objective  for each of the series are: (1) the PIA
Short-Term Government  Securities Series, (the "Short-Term  Government Series"),
to  provide  investors  a high  level of  current  income,  consistent  with low
volatility of principal  through  investing in short term,  adjustable  rate and
floating  rate  securities  issued or  guaranteed  by the U.S.  Government,  its
agencies or  instrumentalities;  (2) the Camborne Government Income Series, (the
"Government  Series"),  growth of capital,  whether over the short or long-term,
income  and  preservation  of  capital;  (3) the OCM  Gold  Series,  (the  "Gold
Series"),  long-term  growth of capital  through  investing  primarily in equity
securities of domestic and foreign  companies  engaged in activities  related to
gold and precious  metals;  (4) the PIA Equity  Series,  (the "Equity  Series"),
long-term growth of capital; (5) the Murphy New World Biotechnology Series, (the
"Biotechnology Series"), long-term growth of capital through investing primarily
in equity  securities  of companies  that its  investment  adviser  believes can
produce   products  or  services  that  provide  or  benefit  from  advances  in
biotechnology;  (6) the Murphy New World  Technology  Series,  (the  "Technology
Series"),  long-term  growth of capital  through  investing  primarily in equity
securities  of  companies  that its  investment  adviser  believes  can  produce
products or services  that provide or benefit from advances in  technology;  (7)
the Murphy New World Technology Convertibles Series (the "Convertibles Series"),
to maximize  total return  through a  combination  of capital  appreciation  and
income;  and (8) the PIA Global Bond  Series,  (the "Global  Bond  Series"),  to
provide a high level of current income through investing in bonds denominated in
U.S. dollars and other currencies.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The following is a summary of significant  accounting  policies  followed by
the Series in the preparation of their financial statements.

    SECURITY  VALUATION--Portfolio  securities  that are listed on the  national
securities  exchanges  are valued at the last sale price as of the close of such
securities exchanges, Eastern time, or, in the absence of recorded sales, at the
average of readily  available  closing bid and asked  prices on such  exchanges.
Unlisted securities are valued at the average of the quoted bid and asked prices
in the  over-the-counter  market.  Securities  and other assets for which market
quotations  are not  readily  available  are  valued  at fair  market  value  as
determined  in good faith by the Adviser  under  procedures  established  by and
under  the  general  supervision  and  responsibility  of the  Fund's  Board  of
Trustees. Short-term investments which mature in less than 60 days are valued at
amortized  cost (unless the Board of Trustees  determines  that this method does
not represent fair market value).  Short-term  investments which mature after 60
days are valued at market. Stock Index Futures,  which are traded on commodities
exchanges,  are  valued  at  their  last  sales  price  as of the  close of such
commodities exchanges.

    OPTIONS--When a call is written,  an amount equal to the premium received is
included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities 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 an option  which was  written
either  expires  on  its  stipulated  expiration  date,  or a  closing  purchase
transaction  is  entered  into,  a gain is  realized  (or  loss if the cost of a
closing  purchase  transaction  exceeds the premium received when the option was
sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying  security,
and the  liability  related to such option is  extinguished.  If a written  call
option is  exercised,  a capital  gain or loss is realized  from the sale of the
underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium
originally received.

    The premium  paid for the  purchase of a call or a put option is included in
the asset  section of the Statement of Assets and  Liabilities  as an investment
and is  subsequently  adjusted to the current  market value of the option.  If a
purchased  option expires on its stipulated  expiration date, a loss is realized
in the  amount of the cost of the  option.  If a  closing  sale  transaction  is
entered  into,  a gain or loss will be realized  depending  on whether the sales
proceeds from the closing sale  transaction are greater or less than the cost of
the option.  If a put option is exercised,  a gain or loss will be realized from
the sale of the  underlying  security  and the  proceeds  from such sale will be
decreased 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.

    FUTURES   CONTRACTS--The   Equity  Series,  the  Biotechnology  Series,  the
Technology  Series,  the Convertibles  Series,  the Government  Series,  and the
Global Bond Series may from time to time enter into futures contracts as a hedge
to provide  protection  against adverse movements in the prices of securities in
the portfolio. When a Series enters a futures contract, it is required to pledge
to  the  clearing  broker  an  amount  of  cash  and/or   securities   equal  to
approximately  5% of the contract  amount.  This amount is known as the "initial
margin".  Pursuant to the futures  contract,  the Series  agrees to take or make
delivery  of an amount of cash  equal to a  specified  dollar  amount  times the
difference  between the value at the close of the day and the price at which the
futures contract was originally struck.  Such payments,  known as the "variation
margin", are recorded by the Series

                                      -20-

          Notes to Financial Statements - November 30, 1997 (continued)


as unrealized gains or losses. When the futures contract expires or is closed by
the Series, it realizes a gain or loss.

    Financial Instruments with Off Balance Sheet Risk--Futures contracts involve
elements of market risk and credit  risk in excess of the amounts  reflected  in
the Statement of Assets and  Liabilities.  The contract amounts of these futures
contracts reflect the extent of exposure to off balance sheet risk.

    The  predominant  market risk is that  movements in the prices of the Fund's
portfolio  securities being hedged may not correlate perfectly with the movement
in the prices of the future contracts.  The lack of correlation could render the
Fund's hedging strategy unsuccessful and could result in a loss to the Fund.

    Futures contracts are purchased only on exchanges.  The exchange acts as the
counterparty  to the Fund's  futures  transactions;  therefore the Fund's credit
risk is limited to the failure of the exchange.

    Subsequent  market  fluctuations of securities sold short may require a Fund
to  purchase  securities  at prices  which  exceed  the value  reflected  on the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

    FEDERAL INCOME  TAXES--It is the Fund's policy to meet the  requirements  of
the Internal  Revenue Code applicable to regulated  investment  companies and to
distribute  all of its taxable  net income to its  shareholders.  Therefore  the
Series paid no Federal  Income  taxes and no Federal  income tax  provision  was
required. At November 30, 1997, Convertibles had a capital loss carry forward of
$835,710 expiring as follows:  $78,279 in 1998, $739,182 in 1999, and $18,249 in
2002.  Gold had a capital  loss  carryover  of  $2,080,045  expiring as follows:
$173,743  in  1998,  $95,110  in  1999,  $335,282  in  2000,  $348,419  in 2001,
$1,039,696  in 2002 and  $87,795 in 2003.  Government  had a capital  loss carry
forward of  $314,800  expiring as  follows:  $281,460 in 1998,  $12,593 in 2003,
$16,768 in 2004 and $3,979 in 2005. The Biotechnology  Series had a capital loss
carry  forward of $105,498  expiring  as follows:  $2,547 in 2002 and $61,506 in
2003 and $41,445 in 2005.

    ORGANIZATIONAL  COSTS--These  costs  have  been  capitalized  and are  being
amortized using the straight-line method over a period of sixty months beginning
on commencement of operations

    OTHER--Securities transactions are recorded no later than the first business
day after the trade date.  Discounts  and premiums on  securities  purchased are
amortized over the life of the respective security. Realized gains and losses on
sales of securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income
is recorded on the ex-dividend  date.  Interest income is recorded on an accrual
basis.

    USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the reported  amounts of increases  and  decreases in net assets
from operations  during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

NOTE 3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENTS

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Monterey Mutual Fund


        We have audited the  accompanying  statements of assets and liabilities,
including  the  schedules  of  investments  of the Murphy  New World  Technology
Convertible  Series, the OCM Gold Series, the Camborne Government Income Series,
the PIA Equity Series, the Murphy New World Biotechnology Series, the Murphy New
World Tecnology  Series,  the PIA Short-Term  Government  Securities and the PIA
Global  Bond Series  (each  series of Monterey  Mutual  Fund,  the "Fund") as of
November 30, 1997 and the related  statements of  operations  and changes in net
assets and financial  highlights for the periods  indicated in the  accompanying
financial  statements.  These financial  statements and financial highlights are
the  responsibility of the Fund 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
November 30, 1997, by  correspondence  with the custodian and with brokers as to
securities  purchased  but not  received,  or other  auditing  procedures  where
confirmations  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 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 as of November  30,  1997 and the results of their  operations,  the
changes in their net  assets,  and their  financial  highlights  for the periods
indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The MURPHY NEW WORLD  TECHNOLOGY  CONVERTIBLES  FUND showed a small loss for the
year of 0.45%.  I kept a  substantial  percentage of the portfolio in cash until
after the end of the fiscal year, when I was able to buy technology  convertible
bonds at what I considered attractive prices due to the Asian crisis. Cash has a
low yield relative to the yields available on convertible bonds.

To say the past  year was a bad  year  for  gold  and  gold  shares  would be an
understatement.  Over the report period ending 11/30/97, the gold price declined
20.06%$,  as strong  financial  asset  (stocks  and bonds)  markets  and fear of
central bank gold sales combined to create a negative  environment  for gold and
gold shares.  Strong  demand for  physical  bullion,  especially  in India where
import duties were cut, failed to overcome  selling by commodity and hedge funds
who aggressively sold gold short. In addition, the gold mining industry suffered
a blow as a reported multi million ounce gold find in Indonesia turned out to be
nothing more than a major fraud by a junior Canadian exploration company,  Bre-X
Minerals.  Your fund did not own any Bre-X  Minerals.  Unfortunately,  the Bre-X
scandal  affected the  credibility  of the entire junior  exploration  sector in
which your fund  allocates a small  percentage  of its  assets.  The Gold Fund's
overall  performance  measured a decline of 38.68% in NAV (41.36%  after maximum
sales  charge) for the fiscal year ending  11/30/97  versus a loss of 41.08% for
the XAU  (Philadelphia  Stock  Exchange gold and silver share  index).  The Gold
Fund's advisor  anticipates  continued  strong demand for physical bullion along
with the realization  central banks are not selling as much gold as feared, will
create a more positive price  environment for gold in `98. The fund  anticipates
maintaining  its tiered  portfolio  approach of owning  senior,  intermediate  ,
mid-tier  and  junior   producers  along  with  a  small  percentage  of  junior
exploration companies over the coming year.

The Lehman Government Index is an unmanaged index consisting of all US Treasury
& Agency bonds weighted according to market capitalization.

The CAMBORNE GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND finished the year with a total return of
9.70% (excluding sales charge), placing it among some of the top performing U.S.
Government bond funds in the country. The manager has balanced the portfolio
holdings among U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. Government Agency mortgage-backed
securities and corporate bonds. The manager will continue active maturity
management and sector rotation of the fund to attempt to capitalize on
investment opportunities.

The S&P 500 Index is a broad unmanaged index generally considered to be
representative of the US equity market.

The PIA EQUITY FUND generated an annual return of 9.96% (excluding sales
charge), having performed weakly during the first half of the period but
recovering nicely in the second half of the period. The improvement was due to
two strategies employed by the manager. First, the manager increased the fund's
level of diversification, increasing from about twenty holdings at the beginning
of the period to about forty holdings by the middle of the period. Second, the
manager shifted the portfolio holdings to small- and mid-cap companies which
demonstrate strong relative value. Although underperforming the market over the
period, the fund generated a reasonable return and is positioned to do well in
the next period.

The MURPHY NEW WORLD BIOTECHNOLOGY FUND rose 12.24% for the fiscal year compared
to a gain of 6.73% for the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index. Although the fund
outperformed the Index, I am not satisfied with the absolute performance figure.
Biotechnology stocks were hard-hit by the Asian crisis, even though I do not see
a logical connection between the two. As more companies receive FDA approvals, I
expect the group to show substantially better performance.

The S&P 500 Index is a broad unmanaged index generally considered to be

The MURPHY NEW WORLD TECHNOLOGY FUND declined 3.69% in the fiscal year,
substantially underperforming the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. I made two
strategic mistakes at the beginning of the year. The first was overweighting
smaller capitalization companies in the belief that after a long period of
outperformance by large cap companies, there were better relative values in the
smaller stocks. As it turned out, large cap again outperformed substantially.
Recently, I have been taking advantage of the general decline in technology
stocks that followed the crisis in Asia to buy some larger cap companies. The
second mistake was to overweight biotechnology relative to electronics. Although
some of our biotech companies had clinical success or even FDA approvals during
the year, the sector as a whole did not benefit from a "halo" effect. I remain
overweighted in these stocks in the belief 1998 will be an excellent year for
the group.

The Lehman Government Index is an unmanaged index consisting of all US Treasury
& Agency bonds weighted according to market capitalization.

The PIA SHORT TERM GOVERNMENT FUND achieved its goal of generating a high level
of current income consistent with low volatility of principal. The fund has
grown dramatically in the period, giving the manager additional investment
opportunities. The manager's strategy of investing primarily in short-term
adjustable rate and floating rate U.S. government securities was the major
contributing factor in the fund's ability to maintain its low volatility in the
midst of a volatile fixed-income market.

The Lehman Government Index is an unmanaged index consisting of all US Treasury
& Agency bonds weighted according to market capitalization.

The PIA GLOBAL BOND FUND completed its first partial year with a return for the
eight month period of 6.27%. The portfolio is currently diversified across three
of the major industrialized nations, holding bonds issued by the governments of
Canada, Germany and the United States. As the fund grows in size, the manager
will continue to pursue its strategy of investing in bonds denominated in US
dollars and other currencies in order to capitalize on both interest rate and
exchange rate opportunities.
