PRESIDENTS'
MESSAGE
                           DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

                           We're rapidly approaching the end of the year, and
                           the end of the twentieth century. While we all look
                           forward to the beginning of the next century, let's
                           first take a look back at the last six months and
                           then we'll discuss how Nations Funds is positioned as
                           we head into the year 2000.

                           RIDING THE WAVES IN THE U.S.

                           The last six months offered a snapshot of what we
                           often refer to as market volatility. And when we say
                           market volatility, we mean the ups and downs of the
                           U.S. stock market. Basically, what went up in the
                           second quarter of the year fell right back down in
                           the third quarter. During the spring, we witnessed
                           another Dow Jones Industrial Average*
                           milestone -- crossing the 11,000 mark -- and we saw a
                           broadening in the stock market, as value stocks and
                           small-company stocks came back into favor. This was a
                           change from the past few years where rallies have
                           been led by a narrow group of large-company stocks.

                           However, strong economic growth -- combined with
                           continued low inflation and low
                           unemployment -- caused the Federal Reserve Board to
                           raise interest rates twice by a total of 0.50%. These
                           rate hikes (on June 30 and August 24) caused the
                           markets to resemble the rough surf of the Atlantic
                           during one of our many hurricanes this past summer.
                           (In fact, Hurricane Floyd actually shut down Wall
                           Street in mid-September with torrential rains and
                           high winds.) At any rate, the stock market, as
                           represented by the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
                           Stock Price Index (S&P 500)**, finished the third
                           quarter at 5.36% (year-to-date through September 30,
                           1999), 10% off its August high, with the average
                           stock in the S&P 500 off 20% from its high.

                           A BRIGHTER PICTURE OVERSEAS

                           International stock markets performed well in the
                           second quarter and actually outperformed the U.S. for
                           the first time in a number of years. The Morgan
                           Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe,
                           Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index gained 4.4% in
                           the third quarter. A resurgent Japanese economy
                           helped to push international equity markets higher.

                           This is yet another example of the importance of
                           diversification. Investors investing exclusively in
                           the U.S. could miss out on opportunities overseas.
                           One way to ensure that your portfolio is properly
                           diversified is to seek the professional advice of an
                           investment professional. An investment professional
                           can help explain the additional risks involved in
                           international investing, as well as educate you on
                           the potential rewards that have historically come
                           from a diversified portfolio including international
                           investments.

                            * The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a
                              price-weighted index of 30 of the largest, most
                              widely held stocks traded on the New York Stock
                              Exchange. It is unmanaged and unavailable for
                              investment.

                           STAY THE COURSE

                           While the ride has been bumpy over the last six
                           months, we believe the best course of action for an
                           investor is to stay focused on your long-term goals
                           and remain invested. We understand that Y2K has been
                           on investors' minds for quite some time now. As most
                           Americans have come to realize, substantial efforts
                           have been made by companies in the U.S. and abroad to
                           try to ensure that the Y2K problem will be avoided.
                           Regardless, Y2K will come and go and those investors
                           that stick to their long-term goals, as history has
                           shown, stand a better chance of attaining them.

                           WHAT'S NEW AT NATIONS FUNDS

                           We've made some great strides during the past six
                           months and are poised to make Nations Funds a
                           stronger presence in the mutual fund industry in the
                           new year. We completed the largest merger in mutual
                           fund history on May 21 when we combined Pacific
                           Horizon Funds with Nations Funds. Combining these two
                           entities provides you with more investment choices
                           and a broader range of investment expertise. This is
                           part of our ongoing commitment to providing you with
                           the best products and services, and helping you
                           pursue a lifetime of financial goals.

                           In fact, our selection of mutual funds continued to
                           grow as we introduced Nations Strategic Equity Fund,
                           a large-company stock fund managed for tax
                           efficiency, on August 1. This fund is managed by Bank
                           of America Investment Management -- a Nations Funds
                           Manager of Distinction(SM).

                           We look forward to the opportunities ahead of us in
                           the new year and to making your investment experience
                           with Nations Funds a successful one. Should you have
                           any questions or comments on your semiannual report,
                           please contact your investment professional or call
                           us at 1.800.321.7854. You can also visit us online at
                           www.nations-funds.com.

                           Once again, thank you for being a part of the Nations
                           Funds family.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                      (UNAUDITED)

Nations Fund Trust (the "Trust"), Nations Fund, Inc. (the "Company") and Nations
Reserves ("Reserves") are each registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. At
September 30, 1999, the Trust offered thirty-six separate portfolios, the
Company offered seven separate portfolios and Reserves offered sixteen separate
portfolios. These financial statements pertain only to certain domestic stock
portfolios of the Trust, the Company and Reserves (each a "Fund" and
collectively, the "Funds"). Financial statements for the other portfolios of the
Trust, the Company and Reserves are presented under separate cover. The Funds
(except Equity Index Fund) currently offer four classes of shares: Primary A
Shares, Investor A Shares, Investor B Shares and Investor C Shares. Equity Index
Fund currently offers Primary A Shares and Investor A Shares. In addition, Asset
Allocation Fund and Blue Chip Fund also offer Seafirst Shares. Shareholders of a
Fund have equal voting rights on matters affecting all shareholders of the Fund.
In addition, each class of shares of a Fund has exclusive voting rights on
matters that relate solely to that class and separate voting rights on matters
in which the interests of one class differ from the interests of any other
class.

The Blue Chip Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing
substantially all of its assets in the Blue Chip Master Portfolio, a series of
Nations Master Investment Trust (the "Master Trust"), another open-end
investment company in the Nations Funds family. The Master Portfolio has the
same investment objective as the Blue Chip Fund. The value of the Blue Chip
Fund's investment in the Blue Chip Master Portfolio included in the Statements
of net assets reflects the Blue Chip Fund's proportionate beneficial interest in
the net assets of the Blue Chip Master Portfolio (93.8% at September 30, 1999).
The financial statements of the Blue Chip Master Portfolio, including its
portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere within this report and should
be read in conjunction with the Blue Chip Fund's financial statements. Another
fund not registered under the 1940 Act offered by the Nations Offshore Funds and
managed by Banc of America Advisors, Inc. ("BAAI"), whose financial statements
are not presented here, also invests in the Blue Chip Master Portfolio.

Effective August 20, 1999, the Marsico Growth & Income Fund and Marsico Focused
Equities Fund converted to a master-feeder structure. The Funds seek to achieve
their investment objectives by investing substantially all of their assets in
corresponding Master Portfolios of the Master Trust which have the same
investment objective as each Fund. Because the value of each Fund's investment
in the corresponding Master Portfolio at September 30, 1999 represented
substantially all of the beneficial interests in the Master Portfolio, financial
statements of the Master Portfolios have not been prepared and references in
this report to Marsico Growth & Income Fund and Marsico Focused Equities Fund
should be read to include references to the corresponding Master Portfolio.

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of
their financial statements.

Securities valuation:  Securities which are traded on a recognized exchange or
on NASDAQ are valued at the last sales price on the exchange or market on which
such securities are primarily traded. Securities traded only over-the-counter
are valued at the closing bid prices or, if no sale occurred on such day, at the
mean of the current bid and asked prices. Restricted securities, securities for
which market quotations are not readily available, and certain other assets are
valued by the investment advisor under the supervision of the Board of
Trustees/Directors. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less are
valued at amortized cost.

The valuation of the Blue Chip Fund's investment in the Blue Chip Master
Portfolio of the Master Trust is based on the reported net asset value of that
Portfolio. The Master Portfolio uses valuation policies consistent with those
described above.

Futures contracts:  The Value, Equity Income, Equity Index and Blue Chip Funds
may invest in futures contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund
is required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents
equal to a specified percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the
"initial margin." Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received
by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the
contract.

During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the
contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking-to-market" on
a daily basis

                                       100
<PAGE>   105
NATIONS FUNDS

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)                          (UNAUDITED)

to reflect the market value of the contract. The Fund recognizes a realized gain
or loss when the contract is closed, equal to the difference between the
proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the
contract.

Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible movement of the
securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that there may
not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts, that a change in the value
of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying
securities, or that the counterparty to a contract may default on its obligation
to perform.

Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are
accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are computed based on the
specific identification of securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for
accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is earned from settlement
date and recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on ex-
dividend date. Each Fund's investment income and realized and unrealized gains
and losses are allocated among its classes based upon the relative net assets of
each class of shares.

The Blue Chip Fund records its share of the investment income and realized and
unrealized gains and losses reported by the Blue Chip Master Portfolio on a
daily basis. The investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses
are allocated daily to interest holders in the Blue Chip Master Portfolio based
upon the value of the Blue Chip Fund's investment in the Blue Chip Master
Portfolio.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Distributions from net investment
income are declared and paid each calendar quarter by the Capital Income,
Balanced Assets, Asset Allocation, Equity Index, Growth & Income, Blue Chip,
Focused Equities and Emerging Growth Funds; all other Funds declare and pay
distributions monthly. Each Fund will distribute net realized capital gains
(including net short-term capital gains) at least annually after the fiscal year
in which the capital gains were earned, unless offset by any available capital
loss carryforward. Income distributions and capital gain distributions on a Fund
level are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may
differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Federal income tax:  Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated
investment company by complying with the applicable requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and by distributing substantially all of its
earnings to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for Federal income
or excise taxes.

Expenses:  General expenses of the Trust, the Company and Reserves are allocated
to the Funds based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation
methodologies determined by the nature of the expense in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. Expenses directly attributable to a
Fund or class of shares are charged to such Fund or class. The Blue Chip Fund
records its share of the expenses reported by the Blue Chip Master Portfolio on
a daily basis. The expenses are allocated daily to interest holders in the Blue
Chip Master Portfolio based upon the value of the Blue Chip Fund's investment in
the Blue Chip Master Portfolio.

2.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, SUB-ADVISORY FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE AND RELATED
    PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Each of the Trust, the Company and Reserves has entered into an investment
advisory agreement (the "Investment Advisory Agreements") with BAAI (formerly
known as NationsBanc Advisors, Inc.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of
America, N.A., ("Bank of America") (formerly known as NationsBank, N.A.), which
in turn is a wholly-owned banking subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation, a
bank holding company organized as a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the
Investment Advisory Agreement, BAAI provides investment advisory services to the
Funds and is entitled to receive an advisory fee, calculated daily on the Funds'
average daily net assets, and payable monthly. Effective May 14, 1999, the
maximum annual advisory fee payable by the Funds decreased by 0.10% of the
Funds' average daily net assets. The table below shows the change in the maximum
annual rate:

BNY serves as the custodian of the Trust's, the Company's and Reserves' assets.
For the six months ended September 30, 1999, expenses of the Funds were reduced
by $45,047 under expense offset arrangements with BNY. The Funds could have
invested a portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset
arrangements in an income producing asset if they had not entered into such
arrangements.

First Data Investor Services Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of First
Data Corporation, serves as the transfer agent for the Funds' shares. Bank of
America serves as the sub-transfer agent for the Primary Shares of the Funds.
For the six months ended September 30, 1999, Bank of America earned
approximately $28,803 for providing such services.

Stephens also serves as distributor of the Funds' shares. For the six months
ended September 30, 1999, the Funds were informed that the distributor received
$78,887,931 in front end sales charges for sales of Investor A Shares and
$1,698,747 in contingent deferred sales charges from redemption of shares which
were subject to such charges. A substantial portion of these fees is paid to
affiliates of Bank of America.

Effective July 1, 1999, the Boards of Trustees/Directors of the Trust, the
Company and Reserves, along with the Boards of Trustees/Directors of the other
open-end registered investment companies in the Nations Funds family, approved a
new compensation structure for the unaffiliated Trustees/Directors. The new
structure compensates the unaffiliated Trustees/Directors for their services to
the open-end registered investment companies in the Nations Funds family as a
whole, rather than to particular registered investment companies, or series or
portfolios thereof. As of September 30, 1999, open-end registered investment
companies in the Nations Funds family were the Trust, Nations Fund, Inc.,
Reserves, Nations Annuity Trust, Nations LifeGoal Funds, Inc. and the Master
Trust. Under the new structure, each unaffiliated Trustee/Director receives a
base retainer fee from the open-end investment companies in the amount of
$65,000 per year, in addition to $5,000 for each in-person meeting attended and
$1,000 for each telephonic meeting attended. Each unaffiliated Trustee/Director
will be compensated only for a maximum of six in-person meetings per calendar
year. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional fee of 20% of the base
retainer fee; the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional fee of
10% of the base retainer fee. The members of the Nominating Committee receive
additional compensation at the rate of $1,000 per meeting attended. Each
unaffiliated Trustee/Director is also reimbursed for expenses incurred in
attending such meetings.

Prior to July 1, 1999, the Trust, the Company and Reserves each paid an
unaffiliated Trustee or Director an annual fee of $1,000 ($3,000 for the
Chairman of the Boards), plus $500 per Fund and an additional $1,000 for each
in-person board meeting, and $500 for each telephonic board meeting attended.
The Trust, the Company and Reserves also reimbursed expenses incurred by each
unaffiliated Trustee in attending such meetings.

The Trust's, the Company's and Reserves' eligible Trustees/Directors, may
participate in non-qualified deferred compensation and retirement plans which
may be terminated at any time. All benefits provided under these plans are
unfunded and any payments to plan participants are paid solely out of the Funds'
assets. Income earned on each plan participant's deferral account is tied to the
rate of return of the eligible mutual funds selected by the participants or, if
no funds are selected, to the rate of return of Nations Treasury Fund, a
portfolio of the Company. The expense for the deferred compensation and
retirement plans is included in "Trustees'/Directors' fees and expenses" in the
Statements of operations.

Certain Funds have made daily investments of cash balances in Nations Cash
Reserves, a portfolio of Reserves, pursuant to an exemptive order received from
the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the six months ended September 30,
1999, the Funds earned $3,040,842 in the aggregate from such investments, which
is included in interest income.

A significant portion of each Fund's Primary A Shares represents investments by
fiduciary accounts over which Bank of America has either sole or joint
investment discretion.

3.  SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AND DISTRIBUTION PLANS

The Trust, the Company and Reserves each have adopted shareholder servicing
plans and distribution plans for the Investor B and Investor C Shares of each
Fund, a distribution plan for Investor A Shares of each Fund and a shareholder

servicing plans permit the Funds to compensate or reimburse servicing agents for
shareholder services

provided by the servicing agents. The distribution plans, adopted pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, permit the Funds to compensate or reimburse the
distributor (and for Investor A Shares, the distributor and/or selling agents)
for activities or expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of the
classes' shares. Payments are made at an annual rate, as a percentage of average
daily net assets set from time to time by the Board of Trustees/Directors, and
are charged as expenses of each Fund directly to the applicable class. A
substantial portion of the expenses incurred pursuant to these plans is paid to
affiliates of Bank of America and BAAI.

8.  SECURITIES LENDING

Under an agreement with BNY, the Funds can lend their portfolio securities to
approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. Loans are
collateralized by cash in an amount at least equal to the market value of the
securities loaned. The cash collateral received is invested in Nations Cash
Reserves, a portfolio of Reserves. A portion of the income generated by the
investment of the collateral, net of any rebates paid by BNY to borrowers, is
remitted to BNY as lending agent, and the remainder is paid to the Fund.
Generally, in the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right to use
the collateral to offset losses incurred. There would be a potential loss to the
Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to
dispose of the collateral. The Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the
investment of collateral.

At September 30, 1999, the following Funds had securities on loan:

NATIONS MASTER INVESTMENT TRUST
  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                      (UNAUDITED)

Nations Master Investment Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management
investment company. At September 30, 1999, the Trust offered five separate
series or Master Portfolios (each a "Master Portfolio" and collectively the
"Master Portfolios"). These financial statements pertain only to the Blue Chip
Master Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). Financial statements for the other
portfolios of the Trust are presented under separate cover.

The following shareholders were invested in the Portfolio at September 30, 1999:

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of
its financial statements.

Securities valuation:  Securities which are traded on a recognized exchange or
on NASDAQ are valued at the last sales price on the exchange or market on which
such securities are primarily traded. Securities traded only over-the-counter
are valued at the closing bid prices or, if no sale occurred on such day, at the
mean of the current bid and asked prices. Restricted securities, securities for
which market quotations are not readily available, and certain other assets are
valued by the investment advisor under the supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost.

Futures contracts:  The Portfolio may invest in futures contracts. Upon entering
into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to deposit with the broker an
amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract
amount. This is known as the "initial margin." Subsequent payments ("variation
margin") are made or received by the Portfolio each day, depending on the daily
fluctuation of the value of the contract.

During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the
contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking-to-market" on
a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract. The Portfolio
recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed, equal to the
difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and
the Portfolio's basis in the contract.

Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible movement of the
securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that there may
not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts, that a change in the value
of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying
securities, or that the counterparty to a contract may default on its obligation
to perform.

Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are
accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are computed based on the
specific identification of securities sold. Interest income, adjusted for
accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is earned from settlement
date and recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on ex-
dividend date.

Expenses:  Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged to it,
while general Trust expenses are allocated among the respective portfolios of
the Trust.

Federal income taxes:  The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for Federal
income tax purposes and therefore is not subject to Federal income tax. Each
interest holder in the Portfolio will be taxed on its share of the Portfolio's
ordinary income and capital gains. The Master Trust intends to conduct its
operations in such a way that each portfolio will be able to qualify as a
regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.

2.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, SUB-ADVISORY FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE AND RELATED
    PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Investment
Advisory Agreement") with Banc of America Advisors, Inc. ("BAAI") (formerly
known as NationsBanc Advisors, Inc.), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of
America, N.A. ("Bank of America") (formerly known as NationsBank, N.A.), which
in turn is a wholly-owned banking subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation, a
bank holding company organized as a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which BAAI
provides investment advisory services to the Portfolio. Under the Investment
Advisory Agreement, BAAI is entitled to receive an advisory fee, calculated

daily and payable monthly, at the maximum annual rate of 0.65% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets.

The Trust has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Chicago Equity Partners
Corporation ("Chicago Equity"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America,
pursuant to which Chicago Equity is entitled to receive a sub-advisory fee from
BAAI at the annual rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.

Stephens Inc. ("Stephens") and BAAI serve as co-administrators of the Trust.
Under the co-administration agreements, Stephens and BAAI are entitled to
receive a combined fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the maximum annual
rate of 0.05% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. The Bank of New York
("BNY") serves as sub-administrator of the Trust pursuant to an agreement with
BAAI. For the six months ended September 30, 1999, BAAI earned $170,107 from the
Portfolio for its co-administration services.

BNY serves as the custodian of the Trust's assets. For the six months ended
September 30, 1999, expenses of the Portfolio were reduced by $2,885 under
expense offset arrangements with BNY. The Portfolio could have invested a
portion of the assets utilized in connection with the expense offset
arrangements in an income producing asset if they had not entered into such
arrangements.

Effective July 1, 1999, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, along with the
Boards of Trustees/Directors of the other open-end registered investment
companies in the Nations Funds family, approved a new compensation structure for
the unaffiliated Trustees/Directors. The new structure compensates the
unaffiliated Trustees/Directors for their services to the open-end registered
investment companies in the Nations Funds family as a whole, rather than to
particular registered investment companies, or series or portfolios thereof. As
of September 30, 1999, the open-end registered investment companies in the
Nations Funds family were the Nations Fund Trust, Nations Fund, Inc., Nations
Reserves, Nations Annuity Trust, Nations LifeGoal Funds, Inc. and the Trust.

4.  SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Trust's Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to issue an
unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest and to establish and designate
such shares of beneficial interest into one or more Master Portfolios.

5.  LINE OF CREDIT

The Trust participates in an uncommitted line of credit provided by BNY under a
line of credit agreement (the "Agreement"). Advances under the Agreement are
taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of
redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of
securities. Interest on borrowings is payable at the Federal Funds Rate plus
0.50% on an annualized basis. Each participating Portfolio maintains a ratio of
no less than 4 to 1 of net assets (not including funds borrowed pursuant to the
Agreement) to the aggregate amount of indebtedness pursuant to the Agreement.

At September 30, 1999, there were no loans outstanding under this Agreement. For
the six months ended September 30, 1999, borrowings by the Portfolio under the
Agreement were as follows:

6.  REORGANIZATION OF MASTER INVESTMENT TRUST, SERIES I

On May 21, 1999, the Blue Chip Master Portfolio, a newly established portfolio,
acquired the assets and liabilities of the Blue Chip Master Portfolio ("Acquired
Portfolio"), a series of Master Investment Trust, Series I, pursuant to a plan
of reorganization approved by its interest holders. The acquisition was
accomplished by a tax-free exchange of interests of Blue Chip Master Portfolio
in an amount equal to the outstanding interests of the Acquired Portfolio. The
financial statements of the Blue Chip Master Portfolio reflect the historical
financial results of the Acquired Portfolio prior to the reorganization.
Additionally, the fiscal year end of the Blue Chip Master Portfolio for
financial reporting purposes was changed to coincide with that of the Trust.
