THE HANOVER FUNDS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
November 30, 1995
 
1.  DESCRIPTION
 
     The Hanover Funds, Inc. (the "Company") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management
investment company, and was established as a Maryland corporation on October 5,
1988. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company authorize ten billion shares,
having a par value of $.001 per share. The Company has six separate investment
portfolios: The 100% U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund ("The 100% U.S.
Treasury Securities Fund"), The U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund ("The U.S.
Treasury Fund"), The Government Money Market Fund ("The Government Fund"), The
Cash Management Fund, The Tax Free Money Market Fund ("The Tax Free Fund") and
The New York Tax Free Money Market Fund ("The New York Tax Free Fund"), (each, a
"Fund," collectively, the "Funds").
 
2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:
 
     A) SECURITY VALUATION: Pursuant to Rule 2a-7 of The Investment Company Act
        of 1940, investment securities are valued under the amortized cost
        method, which approximates current market value. Under this method,
        securities are valued at cost when purchased and, thereafter, a constant
        proportionate amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until
        maturity of the security. Regular review and monitoring of the valuation
        is performed to avoid dilution of net asset value per share. The Funds
        seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.
 
     B) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME: Investment transactions are recorded
        on the trade date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of
        the specific identification method to calculate gain and loss on sales
        for both financial statement and Federal income tax purposes. Interest
        income, including the amortization of discount or premium, is recorded
        as earned.
 
     C) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends from net investment income are
        declared daily and paid monthly, generally on the first business day of
        each month. Net investment income for dividend purposes consists of (i)
        interest accrued and discount earned on the Fund's assets (including
        both original issue and market discount), less (ii) amortization of
        market premium on such assets, and the accrued expenses of the Fund. Any
        net realized capital gains less available capital loss carryover are
        distributed at least annually.
 
     D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: Each Fund is a separate taxable entity for Federal
        income tax purposes, and intends to qualify as a "regulated investment
        company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
        amended. By so qualifying, each Fund will not be subject to Federal
        income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its "investment
        company taxable income", as defined in the Code, and net capital gains,
        if any, to its shareholders. Each Fund also intends to meet the
        distribution requirements to avoid the payment of an excise tax.
        Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.
 
     E) ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS: Costs incurred by the Company in connection with
        its organization and initial registration and public offering of shares
        are being amortized on a straight-line basis for a five-year period
        beginning with the operations of each Fund. In the event that any of the
 
                                       34
<PAGE>   36
 
THE HANOVER FUNDS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 1995
 
        initial shares of the Funds owned by Furman Selz Incorporated ("Furman
        Selz"), the Company's Administrator, are redeemed during the
        amortization period, the redemption proceeds will be reduced by a pro
        rata portion of any unamortized deferred organization expenses in the
        same proportion as the number of initial shares being redeemed bears to
        the number of initial shares outstanding at the time of redemption.
 
     F) EXPENSES: Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that
        Fund, other expenses are allocated proportionately among each Fund
        within the Company in relation to the net assets of each Fund, or on
        another reasonable basis.
 
3.  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
     Because The New York Tax Free Fund will invest primarily in obligations
issued by the State of New York and its cities, municipalities and other public
authorities, it is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of
such obligations than a comparable municipal bond fund that is not so
concentrated. New York State and New York City have recently encountered
financial difficulties. If either New York State or any of its local
governmental entities is unable to meet its financial obligations, the income
derived by The New York Tax Free Fund and its ability to preserve capital and
liquidity could be adversely affected. (See the Statement of Additional
Information for more information.)
 
4.  INVESTMENT ADVISERS
 
     The Portfolio Group, Inc. ("TPG") provides investment advisory services to
The 100% U.S. Treasury Securities Fund, The U.S. Treasury Fund, The Government
Fund and The New York Tax Free Fund; Texas Commerce Bank, National Association
("TCB") provides investment advisory services to The Cash Management Fund and
The Tax Free Fund, in each case pursuant to an Advisory Agreement with the
Company (together, the "Advisory Agreements").
 
     TPG was organized in March 1983 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Chemical Banking Corporation, a bank holding company ("Chemical"). TPG provides
a wide range of asset management services to individuals, institutions and
retirement benefit plans. TCB has been in the investment counselling business
since 1987 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Texas Commerce Bancshares, Inc.,
which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chemical. TCB renders investment advice to
a wide variety of corporations, pension plans, foundations, trusts and
individuals.
 
     Under the Advisory Agreements, TPG and TCB act as Investment Advisers and,
subject to the supervision and direction of the Company's Board of Directors,
direct the investments of the Funds in accordance with their investment
objectives and policies, make investment decisions and place orders to purchase
and sell securities for the Funds. As compensation for their investment advisory
services, TPG and TCB are each entitled to receive from the respective Funds
they advise a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets
of such Funds.

     Certain of the states in which the shares of the Funds are qualified for
sale impose limitations on the expenses of the Funds. If, in any fiscal year,
the total expenses of a Fund (excluding taxes, interest, distribution expenses,
brokerage commissions, certain portfolio transaction expenses, other
expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and extraordinary expenses, but including the advisory and
administrative services fees) exceed the expense limitations applicable to that
Fund imposed by the securities regulations of any state, TPG, TCB, Furman Selz
and Chemical Bank will reimburse the Funds for expenses to meet these
limitations. In the most restrictive state, aggregate annual expenses shall not
normally exceed two and one-half percent (2 1/2%) of the first $30 million of
the average net assets, two percent (2%) of the next $70 million of the average
net assets and one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) of the remaining average net
assets. For the year ended November 30, 1995, there were no reimbursements
required as a result of these expense limitations for the Funds.
 
6.  SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENTS
 
     Pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Plan adopted by the Board of Directors
of the Company, the Company may enter into Shareholder Servicing Agreements with
financial institutions ("Shareholder Servicing Agents"). Shareholder
administrative support services will be performed by Shareholder Servicing
Agents for their customers who beneficially own shares. Such services, which are
described more fully in the Statement of Additional Information, may include,
among other things: (i) aggregating and processing purchase and redemption
orders; (ii) placing net purchase and redemption orders with the Company's
distributor; (iii) providing necessary personnel and facilities to establish and
maintain customer accounts and records; (iv) processing dividend payments; and
(v) providing information periodically to beneficial owners showing their
positions in the Fund's shares. Shareholder Servicing Agents may enter into
arrangements with, and pay a portion of their fees to, other entities that
perform or assist in performing shareholder administrative support services.
 
     For the services provided, the Company's Shareholder Servicing Plan permits
the Company to pay fees to Shareholder Servicing Agents from each Fund at an
annual rate of up to 0.35% of the average daily net asset value of shares in the
Funds for which such Shareholder Servicing Agents provide services for the
benefit of customers. The Company has entered into Shareholder Servicing
Agreements with Chemical Bank, certain of its affiliates, Furman Selz and
certain other broker-dealers, pursuant to which it pays them a monthly fee from
each Fund at an annual rate of 0.35% of the average daily net asset value of the
shares in the Funds for which they provide services. The Company may appoint
additional Shareholder Servicing Agents in the future.
 
     Shareholder Servicing Agents will provide their customers with a schedule
of any credits, fees or other conditions that may be applicable to the
investment of customer assets in the Funds' shares. The Company's Board of
Directors has determined that the amount payable by each Fund in respect of
"service fees" (as defined under Article III, Section 26 of the Rules of Fair
Practice by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.) does not
exceed 0.25% of the average annual net assets of that Fund.

     Solely for the purpose of reimbursing the Distributor for activities
primarily intended to result in the sale of its shares, each Fund is authorized

Distribution (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 promulgated under the 1940 Act.
Activities for which the Distributor may be reimbursed include (but are not

prospectuses for the Funds to recipients other than existing shareholders. For
the year ended November 30, 1995, none of the Funds paid any amounts in
accordance with the Plan.

8.  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
 
     The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with government securities
dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board, with member banks of the
Federal Reserve System or with other brokers or dealers that meet the credit
guidelines established by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Funds will
always receive and maintain securities as collateral whose market value,
including accrued interest, will equal or exceed the value of the dollar amount
invested by that Fund in each agreement, and that Fund will make payment for
such securities only upon physical delivery or upon evidence of book entry
transfer to the account of the custodian. To the extent that any repurchase
transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is
marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If
the seller defaults, and the value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy
proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security,
realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.
 
9.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
 
     For the year ended November 30, 1995, The Tax Free Fund and The New York
Tax Free Fund had net capital loss carryforwards of $338,145 and $82,846,
respectively. These losses, which may be used to offset future realized gains,
will expire in varying degrees and at varying times up through the year ending

10.  BANK MERGER
 
     In August 1995 Chemical Banking Corporation ("Chemical") and The Chase
Manhattan Corporation ("Chase") announced that they had entered into a merger
agreement. Following the merger of these two Bank holding companies, The Chase
Manhattan Bank, N.A. will be merged with and into Chemical Bank, at which time
Chemical Bank will assume the Chase Manhattan name.
 
     In anticipation of the consummation of the foregoing mergers, the Board of
Directors of The Hanover Funds, Inc. (the "Company"), which is affiliated with
Chemical, and the Board of Trustees of Mutual Fund Trust ("Vista"), a mutual
fund company affiliated with Chase, each have approved an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization and Liquidation (the "Agreement") between the Company and

Vista. The Agreement provides that, subject to certain conditions, including
approval of the Agreement by the shareholders of the Company and consummation of
the merger of Chemical and Chase, each investment portfolio of the Company will
sell all of its assets and liabilities to a corresponding existing or
newly-created investment portfolio of Vista having a substantially identical
investment objective and similar investment policies, in exchange for the
issuance by Vista of shares of the respective acquiring investment portfolio.
The value of the shares of a portfolio of Vista issued in connection with the
contemplated transaction will equal the value of the net assets of the
corresponding portfolio of the Company being sold. Each portfolio of the Company
will distribute to its shareholders the shares received from Vista in
cancellation of the outstanding shares of the Company, and shareholders of the
Company will become shareholders of Vista. The total net asset value of the
holdings of the shareholders of the Company immediately before and after the
contemplated transaction will be the same. The Agreement provides that, subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions contained therein, the transaction will be
consummated before July 31, 1996.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
     The Hanover Funds, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of The
Hanover Funds, Inc. (The 100% U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund, The
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, The Government Money Market Fund, The Cash
Management Fund, The Tax Free Money Market Fund, and The New York Tax Free Money
Market Fund), including the portfolios of investments, as of November 30, 1995
and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and statements
of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-years then ended and
the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and the financial highlights. Our procedures included verification of
securities owned at November 30, 1995, by count and by correspondence with
custodians 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, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
Hanover Funds, Inc. (The 100% U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund, The
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, The Government Money Market Fund, The Cash
Management Fund, The Tax Free Money Market Fund, and The New York Tax Free Money
Market Fund), as of November 30, 1995, and the results of their operations for
the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in
the two-years then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods
presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
