MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
We are pleased to report strong results for The HighMark Mutual Fund Group for
the fiscal year ended July 31, 1996, despite volatility in the stock and bond
markets during this period.
 
INCOME EQUITY FUND RECEIVES INDUSTRY RECOGNITION
In particular, we would like to highlight the performance of the Income Equity
Fund, which was once again ranked among the top funds in its category as
reported by The Wall Street Journal. The fund (Fiduciary Shares) was ranked 13th
out of the top 15 equity income funds by Lipper Analytical Services based on
total return for the one-year period ending August 1, 1996. For the five years
ending on that date it ranked 26 out of 58 similar funds.(1)
 
In addition, the fund's Fiduciary Shares received a 5-star rating from
Morningstar out of 2,917 equity funds for the one-year period ending July 31,
1996. For the three, five- and 10-year periods ending on that date, the fund was
awarded four stars.(2)
 
WEATHERPROOFING YOUR PORTFOLIO
The past fiscal year serves as a vivid illustration of the power of
diversification. At various times during the year, large-company stocks
outperformed small-company stocks and vice versa. At times, the growth style of
investing outperformed value and vice versa. And stocks as a whole outperformed
bonds for much of the year, except for two months early in 1996. By staying
diversified across different types of investments, investors are able to
capitalize on those sectors that are outperforming at any given time.
 
The HighMark fund family contains a variety of different stock and bond funds
that can give most investors the tools they need to diversify a portfolio both
by security and asset class. Your investment professional will be happy to
review your current investments and suggest changes in your asset mix if needed.
 
A COMMITMENT TO MAINTAINING YOUR TRUST
At HighMark, we are committed to providing you with conservatively managed funds
designed to balance the pursuit of higher returns with a rigorous approach to
managing risk. We know how important it is to you to preserve your principal
while aiming to achieve the kind of returns you seek.

In this report, we've changed the format for the fund discussions that follow
this letter and the Investment Adviser's commentary. The fund managers are now
directly answering some basic questions about their investment strategies and
their funds' performance. We hope you'll find it more helpful to read what they
have to say in their own words.
 
As always, we urge you to read the entire report closely to help you monitor the
progress of your investment in the HighMark funds. If you have any questions
about your investment in The HighMark Group, or would like a prospectus or other
information about any of our funds, please call your investment representative
or HighMark at 1-800-433-6884.

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
(2) The Income Equity Fund's Fiduciary Shares received a 4-star rating based on
    performance (649 out of 1,606 equity funds) for the 3-year period, (396 out
    of 1,007 equity funds) for the five-year period and (208 out of 541 funds)
    for the 10-year period ending on July 31, 1996. Morningstar proprietary
    ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted performance and are calculated from
    a fund's 3- and 5-year average annual returns, with fee adjustments, in
    excess of 90-day Treasury bill returns and a risk factor that reflects fund
    performance below 90-day Treasury bill returns. The one-year rating is
    calculated using the same methodology but is not a component of the overall
    rating. Ten percent of the funds in an investment category receive 5 stars,
    and 22.5% receive 4 stars.

MESSAGE FROM THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The fiscal year ended July 31, 1996, started out strong. Between August 1, 1995,
and January 31, 1996, the stock and bond markets continued their upward march.
During the first half of our fiscal year, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index
rose 14.54%, while the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index returned 7.24%.
 
But the second half of the year was quite different, with the S&P 500 advancing
just 2% and bonds actually falling about 2%. It was in this half that investors
began to become concerned about a fast-growing economy and the return of
inflation. The equity markets were also surprised when some high-visibility
growth companies reported disappointing earnings.
 
LONG-TERM INTEREST RATES CROSS THE 7% MARK
Although its moves were closely followed, the Federal Reserve Board was
relatively inactive during the fiscal year, lowering short-term interest rates
on just two occasions last winter to 5.25%. Long-term interest rates weren't
much higher; indeed, the benchmark 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yielded about 6%
at December 31, 1995.
 
However, by late February, investors were surprised by extremely strong
employment data from the federal government. Anticipating that the Fed might
have to raise short-term interest rates, long-term interest rates surged beyond
7%. Although there was a concern about inflation, there was very little
supporting evidence. By early summer, the economy appeared to be moderating, and
inflation fears cooled. At the end of the fiscal year on July 31, the bond
market rallied sharply, as the yield on the long bond fell to 6.8%.
 
STOCKS SUFFER MINI-CORRECTION
While the bond market was volatile during the spring, the stock market remained
steady. On May 22, the Dow Jones Industrial Average set a record--5780. However,
for the next two months, the stock market would come as close to a normal
"correction" as it had in six years. Rising interest rates, weaker corporate
profit comparisons (with the prior year) and historically high valuations
combined to send the market down anywhere from 5% to 20%, depending upon the
sector. Small-capitalization stocks--which had run up sharply during early
1996--were hit the worst. During June and July, the bond market outperformed the
stock market. But by July 31, 1996, the stock market recovered, coming within
range of its all-time high once again.

LOOKING AHEAD
Upward pressure on the U.S. economy may come from our trading partners in Europe
and Japan, which are beginning to show signs of economic recovery after several
years of sluggishness. Their recovery could generate stronger U.S. exports,
which, in turn, would stimulate our economy and create more new jobs. This is
both good and bad news. If consumer spending, employment, inventory building,
fiscal policy and continued job growth are strong, then we could be confronted
with higher inflation. This, in turn, could cause the Federal Reserve Board to
raise interest rates for the first time in nearly two years.
 
Between now and the presidential election, any Federal Reserve Board action
could be interpreted in a political context and is, therefore, unlikely. Once
the election is over, however, the outlook on the economy and inflation will
once again largely determine the direction of the stock and bond markets. While
we remain optimistic, we will continue to monitor events, and asset allocation
and security selection will remain critically important.
 
Sincerely,

HIGHMARK INCOME EQUITY FUND
For the year ended July 31, 1996, the HighMark Income Equity Fund produced a
total return of 18.21% (Investor Shares at NAV), outperforming the 16.59% return
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index during the same period. The average
equity income fund as measured by Lipper Analytical Services rose 14.17% during
the year.
 
Thomas M. Arrington, CFA, is the team leader for the HighMark Income Equity
Fund. Mr. Arrington, who holds an MBA from San Francisco State University and a
bachelor's degree in economics from UCLA, has a decade of investment management
experience.
 
HOW WOULD YOU ASSESS YOUR PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR?
We are pleased with the performance of the income equity strategy for the latest
year. Our strategy outperformed the S&P 500 and the average equity income fund.
Our goal is to outperform the market over the long term with less risk. As
reported in The Wall Street Journal (August 8, 1996), the fund was ranked 13th
out of 136 comparable funds by Lipper Analytical Services based on its total
return for the one-year period ending August 1, 1996.(1)
 
WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY FOR SELECTING STOCKS?
Following our income equity strategy, we invest in dividend-paying stocks of
established companies. Such an emphasis offers three important advantages:
reduced volatility, a relatively steady source of investment return potential
and enhanced total return through the reinvesting and compounding of dividends.
Our discipline compares the dividend yield of the stock with the yield of the
market as a whole, tracking that relationship over a 20-to-30-year time frame.
We can see how a stock's relative yield has moved over time to determine when to
buy or sell it.
 
WHAT AREAS OF THE MARKET PERFORMED WELL, AND WHERE DO YOU CURRENTLY SEE VALUE?
A very strong area of the market has been the pharmaceutical group. We bought
stocks such as American Home Products, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly and Merck
very cheaply in 1993 when there were concerns about a government takeover of
health care. These stocks have performed very well, showing that they can
increase their earnings and develop new products. We have since scaled back on
drug companies because they have reached our predetermined sell targets. In the
natural gas area, Consolidated Natural Gas is a relatively large holding (2.37%
of the portfolio). The company has benefited from the strong demand for natural
gas, which burns cleanly and is relatively inexpensive to use.
 
Every one of our bank holdings outperformed the market during the past year.
Banks continue to generate 10% earnings gains, despite concerns about rising
consumer delinquencies. The banks have shown that they are well reserved and

continue to maintain control over their loans. In other areas, B.F. Goodrich's
stock rose 38% during the year, as management continues to generate increased
profitability in the chemical and aerospace divisions. Energy was a strong
sector, with big oil companies such as Texaco up 33%. Tobacco stocks posted
strong returns for the year, and we sold them in August. Although the retail
industry lagged for the year, we continue to think that it's an attractive area.
For instance, J.C. Penney has a good balance sheet and strong private brands.
The company should benefit from demographic trends--baby boomers are pressed for
time and will increasingly go to department stores for their one-stop shopping
convenience.
 
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?
We continue to find good value using our discipline. If the market continues to
rise, these stocks, in our opinion, should turn in a strong performance. If the
market goes down, then these stocks may help preserve principal. Even with the
downdraft in the market earlier this summer, we still haven't seen a real
correction--in which stocks fall 10%--since 1990. Typically, the market goes
down 10% every two years. When the market truly becomes volatile, we believe
that our strategy will likely outperform the market.
 
As of July 31, 1996, the fund's top five holdings were Philip Morris (3.28%),
J.C. Penney (3.16%), Atlantic Richfield (3.11%), Bank One Corp. (2.71%) and J.P.
Morgan & Co. (2.46%).+

expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund
accounting fees. However, the fund's performance and the Morningstar Equity
Income Average reflect these value-added services. Past performance is not
predictive of future results. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so
that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the
original cost.

HIGHMARK GROWTH FUND
For the year ended July 31, 1996, the HighMark Growth Fund produced a total
return of 12.88% (Investor Shares at NAV). In comparison, the Standard & Poor's
500 Stock Index rose 16.59% during the same period.
 
The HighMark Growth Fund is managed by Scott A. Chapman, CFA. Mr. Chapman, who
holds an MBA from Golden Gate University and a bachelor's degree in accounting
from Santa Clara University, has 16 years' experience in the investment
business.
 
HOW WOULD YOU ASSESS YOUR PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR?
Although we underperformed the S&P 500, we outperformed our peer universe of
other growth funds as measured by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. For the one
year ended July 31, 1996, the HighMark Growth Fund was ranked 217 out of 622
such funds based on total return, which gives it a 35th percentile rank.(1) So
we outperformed almost two-thirds of the growth funds in the country over that
one-year period. We underperformed the S&P 500 because we were underweighted in
certain industries that did well, such as chemical and international oil
companies. We were also overweighted in semiconductors, which underperformed.
 
WHAT INDUSTRIES IN THE PORTFOLIO DID PARTICULARLY WELL?
Industries where we outperformed were defense/electronics, soft drinks and
pharmaceuticals. In defense, two companies in the portfolio were taken over. One
was E-Systems, acquired by Raytheon. The other was Loral, acquired by Lockheed
Martin Marietta. Even if they hadn't been acquired, both E-Systems and Loral
would have remained in the portfolio due to their strong growth prospects.
Although defense spending is falling, there are selective opportunities in such
areas as surveillance and satellite technology.
 
Coca-Cola is our biggest position in the soft-drink industry. Over 80% of its
earnings come from overseas. One can argue that Coca-Cola is the best-known
brand name in the world, especially after the Olympics. Investors are willing to
pay for the visibility of their earnings stream, and that's why the stock keeps
doing well. We believe that the stock, currently selling at about 35 times 1996
estimated earnings, has become more expensive relative to the market, so we've
scaled back our holding from 3% to 2% of the portfolio. With a return on equity
of 57%, there is no other large-capitalization growth company that can match
their profitability.
 
In the drug area, we own Pfizer, Merck and Pharmacia-Upjohn. Pfizer has the best
new product pipeline of any company in the industry. Between now and the year
2000 a lot of drugs are going off patent, and there is a need to replace them
 
                                      LOGO

with drugs that add value. In the past, the strategy of many drug companies was
to produce many "me-too" drugs in the hope that they would simply outsell the
competition. The reality in the industry today is that the drugs have to have
added value because HMOs have very narrow approved lists of drugs.
 
WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGY FOR MANAGING THE FUND?
We have ten commandments that we use when selecting a company: 1) a seasoned,
blue-chip growth company; 2) demonstrated consistent earnings growth; 3) strong
cash flow; 4) a recurring revenue base; 5) a unique product or service,
preferably with an increasing barrier to entry; 6) an attractive or improving
return on capital; 7) a leading company rather than a number three or number
four that's trying to catch up; 8) a management team that is owner-oriented,
seasoned, communicative and respected; 9) a willingness to buy back shares; and
10) a company that's attractively priced.
 
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?
I can't tell you what the markets will do next year, but I can say that we will
try to capitalize on any volatility. For example, during July, when the NASDAQ
was down 8.8%, double the S&P's decline, we took the opportunity to increase our
holdings in technology. If the economy weakens, we believe that investors would
want to pay more for our types of companies that continue to grow even though
the economy is slowing.
 
As of July 31, 1996, the fund's top five holdings were Chase Manhattan (2.51%),
McDonald's (2.48%), Intel (2.25%), Gillette (2.20%) and General Electric
(2.20%).+

HIGHMARK INCOME & GROWTH FUND
For the year ended July 31, 1996, the HighMark Income & Growth Fund produced a
total return of 15.02% (Investor Shares at NAV). In comparison, the Standard &
Poor's 500 Stock Index rose 16.59% during the same period.
 
The HighMark Income & Growth Fund is managed by David L. Freeman, CFA. Mr.
Freeman, who holds a bachelor's degree in economics and psychology from Western
Michigan University and performed graduate work at UCLA, has 14 years'
experience in the investment business.
 
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED YOUR PERFORMANCE?
We saw a very large increase in long-term interest rates, especially since early
1996. This exerted downward pressure on the interest-rate-sensitive segments of
the stock market. The other factor affecting the fund was the roller-coaster
ride in technology stocks. About a year ago, they were hitting new highs. Then
they came down very sharply through the middle of January, rallied again to new
highs and came down sharply again in July. We increased the weighting in
high-quality technology stocks this past year when the stocks sold off.
 
WHAT STOCKS IN THE PORTFOLIO HAVE BEEN THE STRONGEST PERFORMERS?
Examples: Intel has outperformed its counterparts, thanks to a diversified
product line that allows it to weather downturns much better than a smaller
company with a single product. General Electric is a very good stock for our
style of income and growth investing, which seeks to provide above-average
dividend yield, as well as above-average potential for earnings growth. GE
manufactures aircraft engines, appliances, power generators--and owns NBC,
currently number one in the television ratings. Anheuser-Busch, the number-one
beer company in the U.S., has the potential for growth overseas as it expands
further into Europe, Latin America and the Far East. Over the past few months, a
developing theme has been a focus on interest-rate sensitive stocks. We've added
a significant weighting in bank, insurance, electric and telephone companies, as
well as construction companies. We believe that these stocks offer better-
than-average value going forward. We have also added to our technology holdings,
taking advantage of the sharp sell-off in technology that took place in late
1995 and in July of 1996.
 
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?
We see slow growth in the economy in the second half of this year, with the
economy continuing to grow at a subdued rate of 2% to 3% in 1997. We expect that
the higher interest rates of earlier this year will cause housing, auto sales
and other interest-rate-sensitive segments of the economy to slow. However, we
expect long-term interest rates to decline

to a range of 6.25% to 6.50% over the next 12 months. Inflation that was feared
in the first half of the year never materialized and should remain at low
levels. Over the next few years, we are optimistic on stocks and the U.S.
economy as we expect our trading partners in Europe and Japan to continue to
show improvement. We believe this should be bullish for U.S. exports and the
industrial side of the economy at a time when the U.S. consumer may be slowed by
a fairly heavy debt burden.
 
As of July 31, 1996, the fund's top five holdings were General Electric (2.70%),
Anheuser-Busch (2.33%), Intel (1.88%), Motorola (1.69%) and Minnesota Mining &
Manufacturing (1.57%)+

HIGHMARK BALANCED FUND
For the year ended July 31, 1996, the HighMark Balanced Fund produced a total
return of 10.94% (Investor Shares at NAV). In comparison, the fund's benchmarks,
the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index, were up 16.59% and 5.52%, respectively.
 
The HighMark Balanced Fund is managed by David L. Freeman, CFA, who also manages
the Income & Growth Fund, and E. Jack Montgomery, CFA, who also manages the Bond
Fund. Mr. Freeman, who holds a bachelor's degree in economics and psychology
from Western Michigan University and performed graduate work at UCLA, has 14
years' experience in the investment business. Mr. Montgomery, who holds an MBA
from the University of Oregon and a bachelor's degree from the University of
Oklahoma, has 15 years' experience in financial analysis and portfolio
management.
 
HOW DID THE MIXTURE OF STOCKS, BONDS AND CASH CHANGE DURING THE PERIOD?
In late May, the portfolio shifted from 60% stocks, 35% bonds and 5% cash to 55%
stocks, 40% bonds and 5% cash. As of fiscal year end, the portfolio was
comprised of 53% stocks, 38% bonds and 9% cash. With stock prices continuing to
rise, our asset allocation model--which analyzes risk and return for various
assets--began to favor bonds. Although it has been a difficult year for bonds,
they outperformed stocks in June and July of 1996.
 
HOW WOULD YOU ASSESS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BOND PORTION OF THE BALANCED FUND?
The fiscal year ended July 31, 1996, can be divided into two discrete periods.
In the first half, interest rates fell, and we outperformed our benchmark.
Because of our longer-than-average duration (the degree to which the portfolio
is affected by changing interest rates), we tend to do better in a falling
interest-rate environment. But during the second half of the fiscal year,
interest rates rose. We underperformed during the second half of the fiscal year
for the same reasons that we outperformed earlier. In a period such as the one
between February and July 1996, when interest rates were rising, a longer
duration was a disadvantage. We continue to maintain a longer duration because
we believe that inflation is not going to be a problem in the immediate future.
Even if inflation is 3%, long-term bonds at 7% are a pretty good value.
 
WHAT STOCKS HAVE BEEN THE STRONGEST?
Intel has performed better than its counterparts in technology. It's one of the
largest technology companies with a diversified product line that allows it to
weather downturns much better than a smaller company with a single product.
General Electric is a good stock for our style of equity investing, which seeks
both above-average dividend yield as well

as above-average potential for earnings growth. The company is diversified and
owns NBC, which is currently the number-one-rated television network.
Anheuser-Busch, another excellent performer, is expanding further into Europe,
Latin America and the Far East. Our overall approach is to own a
well-diversified portfolio of companies with above-average growth prospects,
with better-than-average value than the stock market as a whole.
 
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?
We expect the economy to grow slowly in the second half of 1996, followed by
continued growth at a subdued rate of 2% to 3% in 1997. Housing, auto sales and
other interest-rate-sensitive segments of the economy will probably slow due to
the effects of higher interest rates earlier in the year. We also expect
longer-term interest rates to decline to a range of 6.25% to 6.5%. Inflation
fears so far have proved unwarranted. Over the next few years, we are optimistic
about stocks and the U.S. economy since we expect the economies of our trading
partners in Europe and Japan to continue to strengthen. We believe that this
will be bullish for U.S. exports at a time when the U.S. consumer seems pretty
heavily burdened with debt.
 
As of July 31, 1996, the fund's top five equity holdings were General Electric

HIGHMARK BOND FUND
For the year ended July 31, 1996, the HighMark Bond Fund produced a total return
of 4.95% (Investor Shares at NAV). In comparison, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index was up 5.52%.
 
The HighMark Bond Fund is managed by E. Jack Montgomery, CFA. Mr. Montgomery,
who holds an MBA from the University of Oregon and a bachelor's degree from the
University of Oklahoma, has 15 years' experience in financial analysis and
portfolio management.
 
HOW WOULD YOU ASSESS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE HIGHMARK BOND FUND?
The fiscal year ended July 31, 1996, can be divided into two discrete periods.
In the first half, interest rates fell, and we outperformed our benchmark.
Because of our longer-than-average duration, we tend to do better in a falling
interest-rate environment. (Duration measures the sensitivity of a portfolio to
changes in interest rates. The value of a share in a longer-duration portfolio
will go up more than a share in a short-duration fund when interest rates fall;
it will fall more steeply when interest rates rise.) During the second half of
the fiscal year, interest rates rose, and we underperformed for the same reasons
that we outperformed earlier. When interest rates are rising, as they did
between February and July 1996, a longer duration is a disadvantage.
 
WHY HAVE YOU CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN A LONG DURATION?
It is our continuing belief that inflation is not going to be a problem in the
immediate future. Last year, the economy surprised us on the downside. It was
slower than expected, but this year the opposite has happened. The job numbers
have been particularly strong. With low unemployment and job growth healthy,
investors started paying attention to wages. But the latest wage numbers are
still very benign. The year-over-year growth in average hourly earnings is just
2.9%. Even if inflation is 3%, long-term bonds at 7% are a pretty good value.
Our duration at 5.2 years is about 10% beyond the index, so it's not a huge bet.
We're watching these things very carefully, and our strategy is subject to
change. But so far, we're not convinced that we have a problem on our hands.
 
HOW HAS THE PORTFOLIO SHIFTED IN TERMS OF SECTORS?
In the last six months, corporate bonds have been reduced by about 5%. Some of
that cash has been redeployed into mortgage-backed securities, which offer more
yield and currently represent more value than corporate bonds. Mortgages have
been the best-performing sector this year, primarily due to their shorter
duration and higher yield. Right now, the yield spread between corporates and
U.S. Treasuries is very narrow. A 30-year AAA-rated corporate bond offers only
 
                                      LOGO
                                       17
LOGO
<PAGE>   20
 
half a percentage point more than a comparable U.S. Treasury bond. And within
the corporate market, there's very little difference in yield between a AAA and
a AA credit. As a result, we've opted for higher quality. Treasuries and
mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, all rated AAA, represent about 75%
of the portfolio. The portfolio currently does not contain any bonds rated BBB.
If the economy weakens, we believe that the corporate bond market will likely
suffer. As a result, the corporate bonds that we own have short maturities. We
are focusing our exposure on longer maturities in the U.S. Treasury market.
 
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF 1996?
A rally in the bond market started July 31, when bond yields fell from 7.2% to
about 6.7% in a period of three days. That was the result of
weaker-than-expected employment data. In addition, average hourly wage inflation
for July was revised downward to 2.8%. We don't think inflation is going to be a
problem, nor do we see the economy running away on the upside, so interest rates
should remain well behaved. One engine of the economy, government spending, is
down sharply. Excluding interest payments, the federal budget is actually in a
surplus by $100 billion. We're no longer creating new federal spending programs
with money we don't have. The environment has changed on spending and that's
good.

HIGHMARK GOVERNMENT BOND FUND
For the year ended July 31, 1996, the HighMark Government Bond Fund, which
invests primarily in U.S. Government securities maturing in one to five years,
produced a total return of 4.79% (Investor Shares at NAV). In comparison, the
Lehman Brothers Mutual Fund Short Government Index returned 5.34%.
 
The HighMark Government Bond Fund is managed by Bill Howard, who has 15 years'
experience in the investment business and holds an MBA from Golden Gate
University and a bachelor's degree from Seattle University.
 
HOW WOULD YOU ASSESS THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
Interest rates rose sharply beginning in February, and that had a negative
impact on the bond market as a whole, including the Government Bond Fund. To
offset rising interest rates, we shortened the maturity of the bond portfolio.
However, the fund still underperformed because the portfolio has a longer
average maturity than the benchmark. On the plus side, we hope the fund will be
able to take advantage of the recent rally and outperform the market during the
early part of the new fiscal year.
 
WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
The rationale for the sell-off in the market was a perception that the economy
was far more robust than had been expected and was going to remain so for an
extended period of time. However, our outlook on the economy was basically
unchanged, and trying to time the market by picking its peaks and valleys is a
loser's game. So we didn't take any significant action other than let the
portfolio naturally become shorter through the passage of time. If you try to
time the market by trying to shorten the portfolio through trading activity,
then you've got to lengthen it once you're into a rally. That process of
shortening and lengthening is extremely difficult to do effectively, and it's
very costly from a trading standpoint.
 
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR?
We think the interest-rate increases earlier in the year will keep the economy
from overheating and getting too far ahead of itself. Indeed, recent employment
and inflation data have taken a lot of fear out of the market.

* Effective yield assumes reinvestment of dividends. Yields shown are annualized
  7-day effective and 7-day yields for the period ending July 31, 1996. Past
  performance is not predictive of future performance as yields on money market
  funds fluctuate daily. An investment in any of the HighMark money market funds
  is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Although such funds
  are managed to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, there can
  be no assurance that they will be able to do so.
 
  Some of the fees of the California Tax-Free Fund and the Tax-Free Fund are
  currently being waived, resulting in higher yields in the funds than would
  occur if full fees were charged. If full fees had been charged, the 7-day
  effective and 7-day yields for the Investor Shares of the California Tax-Free
  Fund would have been 2.54% and 2.51% and 2.52% and 2.49% for the Fiduciary
  Shares, respectively, for the period ending July 31, 1996. If full fees had
  been charged, the 7-day effective and 7-day yields for the Investor Shares of
  the Tax-Free Fund would have been 2.58% and 2.55% and 2.45% and 2.42% for the
  Fiduciary Shares, respectively, for the period ending July 31, 1996.
 
THE TAXABLE MONEY MARKET FUNDS
For the year ended July 31, 1996, the Diversified Obligations Fund, which holds
primarily certificates of deposit, commercial paper and repurchase agreements,
produced a total return of 5.01%. The U.S. Government Obligations Fund,
comprised mostly of U.S. Government agency issues, produced a total return of
4.86% for Investor Shares and 4.88% for Fiduciary Shares. The 100% U.S. Treasury
Obligations Fund produced a total return of 4.74%.
 
In December and January, the Federal Reserve Board reduced short-term interest
rates by a total of half a percentage point to stimulate the economy. By early
spring, it became apparent that the economy was indeed robust. When interest
rates on longer-term securities began to rise, the money market funds took on a
number of longer positions, extending average maturities, which added
significantly to each portfolio's yield.

Since recent economic data suggest that the economy is moderating, it currently
appears that the Federal Reserve Board will not have to raise short-term rates.
 
THE TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUNDS+
For the year ended July 31, 1996, the California Tax-Free Money Market Fund
produced a total return of 2.91%. The Tax-Free Money Market Fund, which includes
municipal bonds issued throughout the country, produced a total return of 2.87%.
Both funds currently maintain maturities in the 20-25-day range to enhance
liquidity. Most of the bonds held in these funds are credit-enhanced, meaning
they are insured or backed by irrevocable bank letters of credit.

  performance is not predictive of future results. The composition of the funds'

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'
 
TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF
THE HIGHMARK GROUP
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities including
the schedules of portfolio investments of The HighMark Group (the "Funds"),
including Diversified Obligations Fund, U.S. Government Obligations Fund, 100%
U.S. Treasury Obligations Fund, California Tax-Free Fund, Tax-Free Fund, Bond
Fund, Government Bond Fund, Income Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Growth Fund, and
Income & Growth Fund, as of July 31, 1996, the related statements of operations,
statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year
then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The financial
highlights for the other years presented and the statement of changes in net
assets for the year ended July 31, 1995 were audited by other auditors whose
report, dated September 22, 1995, expressed an unqualified opinion on those
statements.
 
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 July
31, 1996 by correspondence with the Funds' custodian and brokers. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Funds at July 31, 1996, the results of
their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights
for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1. ORGANIZATION:
 
    The HighMark Group (the "Group") was organized on March 10, 1987 and is
    registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (the "1940
    Act"), as a diversified, open-end investment company established as a
    Massachusetts business trust.
 
    The Group is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares which are
    units of beneficial interest without par value. The Group presently offers
    shares in the Diversified Obligations Fund, the U.S. Government Obligations
    Fund, the 100% U.S. Treasury Obligations Fund, the California Tax-Free Fund,
    the Tax-Free Fund, the Bond Fund, the Government Bond Fund, the Income
    Equity Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Growth Fund and the Income & Growth Fund
    (collectively, "the Funds" and individually, "a Fund"). Sales of shares may
    be made to customers of Union Bank of California, NA ("Union Bank of
    California") and to its affiliates, to all accounts of its correspondent
    banks, to institutional investors, and to the general public. MERUS-UCA
    Capital Management, ("MERUS-UCA"), a division of Union Bank of California,
    serves as investment adviser to the Group.
 
    The investment objective of the Diversified Obligations Fund, the U.S.
    Government Obligations Fund, and the 100% U.S. Treasury Obligations Fund is
    to seek current income with liquidity and stability of principal. The
    Diversified Obligations Fund invests in obligations issued or guaranteed by
    the U.S. Government, its agencies, or instrumentalities, and additionally
    invests in other high-quality money market instruments and other unrated
    instruments deemed to be of comparable high quality by the investment
    adviser pursuant to guidelines established by the Group's Board of Trustees.
    Some of the obligations and money market instruments in which the
    Diversified Obligations Fund invests may be subject to repurchase
    agreements. The U.S. Government Obligations Fund invests in obligations
    issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, and additionally invests in
    obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the
    U.S. Government. Some of the obligations in which the U.S. Government
    Obligations Fund invests may be subject to repurchase agreements. The 100%
    U.S. Treasury Obligations Fund invests exclusively in direct U.S. Treasury
    obligations guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by the
    full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. The California Tax-Free Fund's
    investment objective is to seek as high a level of current interest income
    free from federal income tax and California personal income tax as is
    consistent with the preservation of capital and relative stability of
    principal. The Tax-Free Fund's investment objective is to seek as high a
    level of current interest income free from federal income taxes as is
    consistent with the preservation of capital and relative stability of
    principal. The California Tax-Free Fund and the Tax-Free Fund invest
    primarily in bonds and notes issued by or on behalf of states (primarily, in
    the case of the California Tax-Free Fund, the State of California),
    territories and possessions of the United States, and the District of
    Columbia and their respective authorities, agencies, instrumentalities and
    political sub-divisions ("Municipal Securities"). The investment objective
    of the Bond Fund is to seek current income through investments in long-term,
    fixed-income securities. The

    investment objective of the Government Bond Fund is to seek current income
    and relative stability of principal through investments in short- to
    intermediate-term U.S. Government Securities. The investment objective of
    the Income Equity Fund is to seek investments in equity securities that
    provide current income through the regular payment of dividends, with the
    goal that the Fund will have a high current yield and a low level of price
    volatility. Opportunities for long-term growth of asset value is a secondary
    consideration. The primary investment objective of the Balanced Fund is to
    seek total return. Conservation of capital is a secondary objective. The
    investment objective of the Growth Fund is to seek investments in equity
    securities that provide opportunity for long-term capital appreciation. The
    production of current income is an incidental objective. The investment
    objective of the Income and Growth Fund is to seek current income above the
    average current income of companies included in the Standard & Poor's 500
    Stock Index (the "S&P 500") and to seek total return (dividends plus price
    appreciation) at least equal to that of the S&P 500 while maintaining lower
    price volatility than the S&P 500. There can, however, be no assurance that
    any of the funds' investment objectives will be achieved.
 
    On December 1, 1990, the Diversified Obligations Fund, the U.S. Government
    Obligations Fund, the 100% U.S. Treasury Obligations Fund, the California
    Tax-Free Fund, and the Tax-Free Fund (collectively, "the money market
    funds") commenced offering Class A Shares and designated existing shares as
    Class B Shares. As of June 20, 1994, Class A and Class B Shares were
    designated as "Investor" and "Fiduciary" Shares, respectively. On June 20,
    1994, the Bond Fund, the Government Bond Fund, the Income Equity Fund, the
    Balanced Fund, the Growth Fund and the Income & Growth Fund (collectively,
    "the variable net asset value funds") commenced offering Investor Shares and
    designated existing shares as Fiduciary Shares. Investor and Fiduciary
    Shares represent interests in the same portfolio investments of a Fund and
    are identical in all respects except that Investor Shares bear the expense,
    if any, of the distribution fee under the Group's Distribution Plan (the
    "Distribution Plan"), which will cause the Investor Shares to have a higher
    expense ratio and to pay lower dividends than Fiduciary Shares. Investor
    Shares have certain exclusive voting rights with respect to the Distribution
    Plan.
 
    In addition, Investor Shares of the variable net asset value funds are
    subject to initial sales charges imposed at the time of purchase, in
    accordance with the Funds' prospectuses.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
    the Group in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are
    in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation
    of financial statements requires management to make estimates and
    assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
    the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
    expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
    estimates.

   SECURITIES VALUATION:
 
    Investments in the money market funds are valued at either amortized cost,
    which approximates market value, or at original cost, which when combined
    with accrued interest, approximates market value. Under the amortized cost
    valuation method, discount or premium is amortized on a constant basis to
    the maturity of the security. In addition, the money market funds may not a)
    purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than thirteen
    months unless such investment is subject to a demand feature, or b) maintain
    a dollar weighted average portfolio maturity which exceeds 90 days.
 
    Investments in common stocks and preferred stocks, corporate notes,
    commercial paper, and U.S. Government securities of the variable net asset
    value funds are valued at their market values determined on the basis of the
    mean of the latest available bid prices in the principal market (closing
    sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such
    securities are normally traded. Investments in investment companies are
    valued at their net asset values as reported by such companies. Securities,
    including restricted securities, for which market quotations are not readily
    available, are valued at fair market value under the supervision of the
    Fund's Board of Trustees. The differences between cost and market values of
    investments held by the variable net asset value funds are reflected as
    either unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
 
   SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME:
 
    Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the security is
    purchased or sold (trade date). Interest income is recognized on the accrual
    basis and includes, where applicable for the money market funds, the pro
    rata amortization of premium. The Funds accrete discounts of securities on
    the same basis for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes,
    with the applicable portion of market discount recognized as ordinary income
    upon disposition or maturity. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
    date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by
    comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales
    proceeds.
 
   REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:
 
    The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions,
    such as banks and broker-dealers, which MERUS-UCA deems creditworthy under
    guidelines approved by the Group's Board of Trustees, subject to the
    seller's agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed-upon
    date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by a
    Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates,
    which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio
    securities. The seller, under a repurchase agreement, is required to pledge
    securities as collateral pursuant to the agreement at not less than 102% of
    the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Securities subject to
    repurchase agreements are held by the Funds' custodian in

    the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. Repurchase agreements are
    considered to be loans by a Fund under the 1940 Act.
 
   DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:
 
    Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly
    for the money market funds. Distributions from net investment income are
    declared and paid monthly for the variable net asset value funds.
    Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and
    distributed at least annually for each of the Funds.
 
    Distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gains
    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 expiring capital loss
    carryforwards and deferrals of certain losses for income tax purposes.
 
   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
 
    It is the policy of each of the Funds to continue to qualify as a regulated
    investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain
    investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal
    Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net
    realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially
    all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax
    is required.
 
   OTHER:
 
    Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged directly
    to that Fund and are allocated to each class of shares based on the relative
    net assets of each class. Other operating expenses of the Group are prorated
    to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
    Investment advisory services are provided to the Group by MERUS-UCA. Under
    the terms of the investment advisory agreement, Union Bank of California, of
    which MERUS-UCA is a division, is entitled to receive fees based on a
    percentage of the average net assets of each of the Funds. Union Bank of
    California also serves as custodian, sub-transfer agent and
    sub-administrator for the Group.
 
    BISYS Fund Services Limited Partnership d/b/a BISYS Fund Services ("BISYS"),
    an Ohio Limited Partnership, and BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. ("BISYS
    Ohio") are subsidiaries of The BISYS Group, Inc.
 
    BISYS, with whom certain officers and trustees of the Group are affiliated,
    serves the Group as administrator. Such officers and trustees are paid no
    fees directly by the Funds for serving as officers and trustees of the
    Group. Under the terms of the administration agreement, BISYS' fees are
    computed daily as a percentage of the average net assets of the Funds. BISYS
    also serves as the Group's distributor. As distributor, BISYS is entitled to
    receive fees from the Funds for providing distribution services. For the
    year ended July 31, 1996, BISYS received $212,765 for commissions earned on
    sales of shares of the Group's variable net asset value funds, of which
    $23,664 was reallowed to affiliated parties. BISYS Ohio, serves the Group as
    transfer agent and mutual fund accountant. Transfer agent fees are computed
    on a sliding scale, based upon the number of shareholders.
 
    The Group has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
    1940 Act pursuant to which each Fund may pay the Distributor as compensation
    for its services in connection with the Distribution Plan a distribution
    fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at a maximum annual rate of
    twenty-five one-hundredths of one percent (0.25%) of the average daily net
    assets attributable to the Funds' Investor Shares. A Fund's Fiduciary Shares
    are not subject to the Distribution Plan or a distribution fee. The
    Distributor has agreed to voluntarily reduce payments to be received
    pursuant to the Distribution Plan with respect to a money market fund to the
    extent necessary to ensure that such payments do not exceed the income
    attributable to such Fund's shares on any day.
 
    The Group has also adopted a Shareholder Services Plan permitting payment of
    compensation to financial institutions that agree to provide certain
    administrative support services for their customers who are Fund
    shareholders. Each Fund has entered into a specific arrangement with BISYS
    for the provision of such services and reimburses BISYS for its cost of
    providing these services, subject to a maximum annual rate of twenty-five
    one-hundredths of one percent (0.25%) of each Fund's average daily net
    assets.
 
    Fees may be voluntarily reduced or reimbursed to assist the Funds in
    maintaining competitive expense ratios. Such fees are permanently waived.
