1940, as amended (the "Act") as an open-end management investment company. The
Trust consists of eight funds. The financial statements included herein are only
those of Blanchard Capital Growth Fund (the "Fund"). The financial statements of
the other funds are presented separately. The assets of each fund are segregated
and a shareholder's interest is limited to the fund in which shares are held.

The Fund's investment objective is to provide long term capital growth through a
broad portfolio of common stocks. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment
objective by investing all of its investable assets in Capital Growth Portfolio
(the "Portfolio") which is an open-end management investment company having the
same investment objective as the Fund. The Portfolio is managed by Chase
Manhattan Bank, N.A. As of April 30, 1996, the Fund owned 0.15% of the
Portfolio.

These financial statements should be read together with the accompanying
portfolio of investments and financial statements of Capital Growth Portfolio.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     INVESTMENT VALUATIONS--The Fund records its investment in the Portfolio at
     value. Securities of the Portfolio are recorded at value as more fully
     discussed in the Notes to those accompanying Financial Statements.

     INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS--The Fund records daily a
     pro-rata share of its Portfolio's income, expenses, and realized and
     unrealized gains and losses. In addition, the Fund accrues its own expenses
     daily. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund.
     Certain expenses for the Trust are allocated among all the Funds in the
     Trust based upon their relative average net assets. Distributions to
     shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends
     and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains
     is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may
     differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Dividends and
     distributions which exceed net investment income or distributions in excess
     of net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes, but not for
     tax purposes, are reported as distributions in excess of net investment
     income or net realized capital gains. To the extent they exceed net
     investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes, they are
     reported as distributions of capital.

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

     FEDERAL TAXES--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the
     Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") applicable to regulated investment
     companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of
     its income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal tax are necessary.

     DEFERRED EXPENSES--The costs incurred by the Fund with respect to its
     organization, including the initial expense of registering its shares, have
     been deferred and are being amortized using the straight-line method over a
     period of five years from the Fund's commencement date.

     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 amounts of assets, liabilities,
     expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results
     could differ from those estimated.

(3) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

for the Trust participated in an unfunded noncontributory pension plan (the
"Plan") covering all independent directors/trustees of the Trust who served as
an independent director/trustee for at least five years at the time of
retirement. Benefits under this plan were based on an annual amount equal to 75%

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Growth and Income Portfolio ("GIP") and Capital Growth Portfolio ("CGP"), (the
"Portfolios") are separately registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as non-diversified, open end management investment companies
organized as trusts under the laws of the State of New York. Each declaration of
trust permits the Trustees to issue beneficial interests in the respective
Portfolios. The GIP and the CGP commenced operations on November 29, 1993.

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:

A.   VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS--Equity securities, purchased options and futures
     are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are
     primarily traded, including the NASDAQ National Market. Securities for
     which sale prices are not available and other over-the-counter securities
     are valued at the last quoted bid price. Bonds and other fixed income
     securities (other than short-term obligations), including listed issues,
     are valued on the basis of valuations supplied by pricing services or by
     matrix pricing systems of a major dealer in bonds. Short-term debt
     securities with 61 days or more to maturity at time of purchase are valued,
     through the 61st day prior to maturity, at market value based on quotations
     obtained from market makers or other appropriate sources; thereafter, the
     value on the 61st day is amortized on a straight-line basis over the
     remaining number of days to maturity. Short-term investments with 60 days
     or less to maturity at time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which
     approximates market. Portfolio securities for which there are no such
     quotations or valuations are valued at fair value as determined in good
     faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.

B.   REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--It is the Trusts' policy that repurchase agreements
     are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities.
     All collateral is held by the Trusts' custodian bank, subcustodian, or a
     bank with which the custodian bank has entered into a subcustodian
     agreement, or is segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System. In
     connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, if the seller
     defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller enters
     an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Trusts may
     be delayed or limited.

C.   FUTURES CONTRACTS--When a portfolio enters into a futures contract, it
     makes an initial margin deposit in a segregated account, either in cash or
     liquid securities. Thereafter, the futures contract is marked to market and
     the portfolio makes (or receives) additional cash payments daily to the
     broker. Changes in the value of the contract are recorded as unrealized
     appreciation/depreciation until the contract is closed or settled.

     The GIP invested a portion of its liquid assets in long stock index futures
     contracts to more fully participate in the market. Use of futures contracts
     subject the Portfolio to risk of loss in excess of amounts shown on the
     Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the amount of the value of the
     contract.
     The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards
     of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each
     futures transaction, therefore, the Portfolio's credit risk is limited to
     failure of the exchange or board of trade.

D.   WRITTEN OPTIONS--When a portfolio writes an option on a futures contract,
     an amount equal to the premium received by the portfolio is included in the
     portfolio's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and
     corresponding liability. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily to
     reflect the current market value of the written options and the change is
     recorded in a corresponding unrealized gain or loss account. When a written
     option expires on its stipulated expiration date, or when a closing
     transaction is entered into, the related liability is extinguished and the
     portfolio realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing transaction
     exceeds the premium received when the option was written).

     The GIP writes options on stock index securities futures. These options are
     settled for cash and subject the Portfolio to market risk in excess of the
     amounts that are reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
     Portfolio, however, is not subject to credit risk on written options as the
     counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying a premium at
     the inception of the contract.

     As of April 30, 1996 the Portfolios had no outstanding written options.

E.   SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Investment transactions are
     accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is
     executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified
     cost basis. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is
     recorded on the ex-dividend date.

F.   ORGANIZATION COSTS--Organization and initial registration costs incurred in
     connection with establishing the Portfolios have been deferred and are
     being amortized on a straight-line basis over a sixty month period
     beginning at the commencement of operations of each Portfolio.

G.   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The Portfolios intend to qualify as partnerships and
     therefore net income and net realized gains are taxed to the partners. The
     investor in the Portfolios must take into account their proportionate share
     of the Portfolios' income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and tax
     preference items in computing their federal income tax liability, without
     regard to whether they have received any cash distributions from the
     Portfolio. The Portfolios do not intend to distribute to investors their
     net investment income or their net realized gains, if any. It is intended
     that the Portfolios will be managed in such a way that investors in the
     portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the
     Internal Revenue Code to be taxed as regulated investment companies.

(2) FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

A.   INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE--Pursuant to separate Investment Advisory
     Agreements, The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. ("Chase" or the "Adviser") acts
     as the Investment Adviser to the Portfolios. Chase is a direct wholly-owned
     subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Corporation. As Investment Adviser, Chase
     supervises the investments of the Portfolios and for such services is paid
     a fee.

     The fee is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.40%
     of the Portfolios' average daily net assets.

B.   CUSTODIAL FEES--Chase, as Custodian provides safekeeping services for the
     Portfolios' securities. Compensation for such services are presented in the
     Statement of Operations as custodian fees.

C.   ADMINISTRATION FEE--Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, Chase (the
     "Administrator") provides certain administration services to the Trusts.
     For these services and facilities, the Administrator receives from each
     Portfolio a fee computed at the annual rate equal to 0.05% of the
     respective Portfolio's average daily net assets.

D.   OTHER--Effective March 29, 1996, The Chase Manhattan Corporation merged
     with Chemical Banking Corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
     Merger signed in August 1995.

(3) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

For the six month period ended April 30, 1996, purchases and sales of
investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>


The portfolio turnover rates of GIP and CGP for this period were 26.22% and
43.32%, respectively.

(4) RETIREMENT PLAN

During the year ended October 31, 1995, the Trusts adopted an unfunded
noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering all independent directors
of the Trusts who have served as an independent director of the Trusts, or other
Vista Portfolios, for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits
under this plan are based on compensation and years of service. Management has
determined that the accrual for prior service costs is not material.

BLANCHARD GROWTH & INCOME FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) ORGANIZATION

Blanchard Funds (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "Act") as an open-end management investment company. The
Trust consists of eight funds. The financial statements included herein are only
those of Blanchard Growth & Income Fund (the "Fund"). The financial statements
of the other funds are presented separately. The assets of each fund are
segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the fund in which shares
are held.

The Fund's investment objective is to provide long term capital appreciation and
to provide dividend income through a broad portfolio of common stocks. The Fund
seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable
assets in Growth & Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio") which is an open-end
management investment company having the same investment objective as the Fund.
The Portfolio is advised by Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. At April 30, 1996, the
Fund owned 0.62% of the Portfolio.

These financial statements should be read together with the accompanying
portfolio of investments and financial statements of the Portfolio.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     INVESTMENT VALUATIONS--The Fund records its investment in the Portfolio at
     value. Securities of the Portfolio are recorded at value as more fully
     discussed in the Notes to those accompanying Financial Statements.

     INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS--The Fund records daily its
     pro-rata share of its Portfolio's income, expenses, and realized and
     unrealized gains and losses. In addition, the Fund accrues its own expenses
     daily. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund.
     Certain expenses for the Trust are allocated among all the Funds in the
     Trust based upon their relative average net assets. Distributions to
     shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends
     and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains
     is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may
     differ from generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these
     "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature, (i.e., that they will
     result from other than timing recognition-"temporary") such amounts are
     reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis
     treatment. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income
     or net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes, but not for
     tax purposes, are reported as distributions in excess of net investment
     income or distributions in excess of net realized capital gains.


BLANCHARD GROWTH & INCOME FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     FEDERAL TAXES--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the provisions of the
     Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") applicable to regulated investment
     companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of
     its income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal tax are necessary.

     DEFERRED EXPENSES--The costs incurred by the Fund with respect to
     organizational expenses and registration of its shares in its first fiscal
     year, excluding the initial expense of registering its shares, have been
     deferred and are being amortized using the straight-line method over a
     period of five years from the Fund's commencement date.

     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 amounts of assets, liabilities,
     expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results
     could differ from those estimated.

(3) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
full and fractional shares of beneficial interest. Transactions in shares were

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Growth and Income Portfolio ("GIP") and Capital Growth Portfolio ("CGP"), (the
"Portfolios") are separately registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as non-diversified, open end management investment companies
organized as trusts under the laws of the State of New York. Each declaration of
trust permits the Trustees to issue beneficial interests in the respective
Portfolios. The GIP and the CGP commenced operations on November 29, 1993.

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:

A.   VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS--Equity securities, purchased options and futures
     are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are
     primarily traded, including the NASDAQ National Market. Securities for
     which sale prices are not available and other over-the-counter securities
     are valued at the last quoted bid price. Bonds and other fixed income
     securities (other than short-term obligations), including listed issues,
     are valued on the basis of valuations supplied by pricing services or by
     matrix pricing systems of a major dealer in bonds. Short-term debt
     securities with 61 days or more to maturity at time of purchase are valued,
     through the 61st day prior to maturity, at market value based on quotations
     obtained from market makers or other appropriate sources; thereafter, the
     value on the 61st day is amortized on a straight-line basis over the
     remaining number of days to maturity. Short-term investments with 60 days
     or less to maturity at time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which
     approximates market. Portfolio securities for which there are no such
     quotations or valuations are valued at fair value as determined in good
     faith by or at the direction of the Trustees.

B.   REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--It is the Trusts' policy that repurchase agreements
     are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities.
     All collateral is held by the Trusts' custodian bank, subcustodian, or a
     bank with which the custodian bank has entered into a subcustodian
     agreement, or is segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System. In
     connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, if the seller
     defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller enters
     an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Trusts may
     be delayed or limited.

C.   FUTURES CONTRACTS--When a portfolio enters into a futures contract, it
     makes an initial margin deposit in a segregated account, either in cash or
     liquid securities. Thereafter, the futures contract is marked to market and
     the portfolio makes (or receives) additional cash payments daily to the
     broker. Changes in the value of the contract are recorded as unrealized
     appreciation/depreciation until the contract is closed or settled.

     The GIP invested a portion of its liquid assets in long stock index futures
     contracts to more fully participate in the market. Use of futures contracts
     subject the Portfolio to risk of loss in excess of
     amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the amount
     of the value of the contract.
     The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards
     of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each
     futures transaction, therefore, the Portfolio's credit risk is limited to
     failure of the exchange or board of trade.

D.   WRITTEN OPTIONS--When a portfolio writes an option on a futures contract,
     an amount equal to the premium received by the portfolio is included in the
     portfolio's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and
     corresponding liability. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily to
     reflect the current market value of the written options and the change is
     recorded in a corresponding unrealized gain or loss account. When a written
     option expires on its stipulated expiration date, or when a closing
     transaction is entered into, the related liability is extinguished and the
     portfolio realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing transaction
     exceeds the premium received when the option was written).

     The GIP writes options on stock index securities futures. These options are
     settled for cash and subject the Portfolio to market risk in excess of the
     amounts that are reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
     Portfolio, however, is not subject to credit risk on written options as the
     counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying a premium at
     the inception of the contract.

     As of April 30, 1996 the Portfolios had no outstanding written options.

E.   SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Investment transactions are
     accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is
     executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified
     cost basis. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is
     recorded on the ex-dividend date.

F.   ORGANIZATION COSTS--Organization and initial registration costs incurred in
     connection with establishing the Portfolios have been deferred and are
     being amortized on a straight-line basis over a sixty month period
     beginning at the commencement of operations of each Portfolio.

G.   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The Portfolios intend to qualify as partnerships and
     therefore net income and net realized gains are taxed to the partners. The
     investor in the Portfolios must take into account their proportionate share
     of the Portfolios' income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and tax
     preference items in computing their federal income tax liability, without
     regard to whether they have received any cash distributions from the
     Portfolio. The Portfolios do not intend to distribute to investors their
     net investment income or their net realized gains, if any. It is intended
     that the Portfolios will be managed in such a way that investors in the
     portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the
     Internal Revenue Code to be taxed as regulated investment companies.

(2) FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

A.   INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE--Pursuant to separate Investment Advisory
     Agreements, The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. ("Chase" or the "Adviser") acts
     as the Investment Adviser to the Portfolios. Chase is a direct wholly-owned
     subsidiary of The Chase Manhattan Corporation. As
     Investment Adviser, Chase supervises the investments of the Portfolios and
     for such services is paid a fee.

     The fee is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.40%
     of the Portfolios' average daily net assets.

B.   CUSTODIAL FEES--Chase, as Custodian provides safekeeping services for the
     Portfolios' securities. Compensation for such services are presented in the
     Statement of Operations as custodian fees.

C.   ADMINISTRATION FEE--Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, Chase (the
     "Administrator") provides certain administration services to the Trusts.
     For these services and facilities, the Administrator receives from each
     Portfolio a fee computed at the annual rate equal to 0.05% of the
     respective Portfolio's average daily net assets.

D.   OTHER--Effective March 29, 1996, The Chase Manhattan Corporation merged
     with Chemical Banking Corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
     Merger signed in August 1995.

(3) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

For the six month period ended April 30, 1996, purchases and sales of
investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>


The portfolio turnover rates of GIP and CGP for this period were 26.22% and
43.32%, respectively.

(4) RETIREMENT PLAN

During the year ended October 31, 1995, the Trusts adopted an unfunded
noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering all independent directors
of the Trusts who have served as an independent director of the Trusts, or other
Vista Portfolios, for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits
under this plan are based on compensation and years of service. Management has
determined that the accrual for prior service costs is not material.
