July 14, 1998
 
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
 
  U.S. stock markets continued to climb during the second quarter of 1998.
Large capitalization ("Blue Chip") indices, such as the S&P 500 Index,
continued their strong showing in the U.S. equity markets, returning 3.30% for
the quarter and 17.71% for the year-to-date period ending June 30, 1998. The
performance of small capitalization stocks continued to lag with the S&P Small
Cap 600 Index down -4.47% for the quarter, bringing the return for the year-
to-date period ending June 30, 1998 down to 6.11%. All of the above returns
are with dividends reinvested.
 
  U.S. fixed income markets also rose during the second quarter of 1998, with
all parts of the yield curve benefiting. Shorter-term (1-3 years) Treasury
issues were up 1.53% for the quarter and 3.02% year-to-date while
intermediate-term (5-10 years) Treasury issues increased 2.44% for the quarter
and 4.14% year-to-date. Longer-term issues gained the most, with 15+ year
Treasury bonds up 4.81% for the quarter and 6.38% year-to-date.

  As of June 30, 1998, your Portfolio's net asset value increased 6.57% for
the quarter, bringing the year-to-date return to 24.35%, while the S&P 500

reinvested. At quarter end, your Portfolio's share price was $17.01 after
paying its 20th consecutive quarterly dividend from net investment income of
$0.03 per share.
 
  The Portfolio's superior performance is evident in its Morningstar large
value category performance and risk-adjusted performance (Sharpe Ratio)
rankings for the period ending June 30, 1998.

(1) Periods greater than six months are annualized. The investment returns
    quoted in this letter represent past returns and should not be construed
    as a guarantee of the Fund's future performance. Returns are net of all
    fees and expenses. The investment return and principal value of an
    investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may
    be worth more or less than their original cost. Without the Adviser's
    temporary fee waiver or expenses assumed by the Adviser, total returns for
    the portfolio would have been lower. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged
    index composed of 400 industrial, 40 financial, 40 utilities and 20
    transportation stocks. The Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Index is
    an unmanaged index composed of the combination of the Government and
    Corporate Bond Indices. The Government Index includes public organizations
    of the U.S. Treasury, issues of Government agencies, and corporate debt
    backed by the U.S. Government. The Corporate Bond Index includes fixed
    rate nonconvertible corporate debt. Also included are Yankee Bonds and
    nonconvertible debt issued or guaranteed by foreign or international
    governments or agencies. All issues are investment grade (BBB) or higher,
    with maturities of at least one year, outstanding par value of at least
    $100 million for U.S. Government issues and $25 million for others. Any
    security downgraded during the month is held in the index until month-end
    then removed. All returns are market value weighted inclusive of accrued
    income. The Merrill Lynch 1-3 year Treasury Index includes only U.S.
    Treasury Notes and Bonds with maturities one year or greater and less than
    three years.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Analytic Series Fund (the "Fund") was organized on November 18, 1992,
under the laws of the state of Delaware, and is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no load, open-end diversified
investment company or "mutual fund" consisting of three separate diversified
portfolios. These portfolios are: the Short-Term Government Portfolio, the
Master Fixed Income Portfolio and the Enhanced Equity Portfolio. Operations
commenced on November 30, 1992.
 
The Investment objective of each of the portfolios are as follows:
 
  Short-Term Government Portfolio--to provide a high level of income
  consistent with both low fluctuations in market value and low credit risk.
  At least 80% of the total assets of the portfolio will be invested in U.S.
  Government securities.
 
  Master Fixed Income Portfolio--to provide above-average total returns from
  a diversified bond portfolio consisting primarily of domestic government,
  corporate, and mortgage-related fixed income securities.
 
  Enhanced Equity Portfolio--to provide above-average total returns from a
  diversified equity portfolio which consists primarily of domestic common
  stocks and related investments such as options and futures.
 
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--Each portfolio may utilize various call
option, put option, and financial futures strategies in pursuit of its
objective. These techniques will be used to hedge against changes in
securities prices, interest rates, or foreign currency exchange rates on
securities held or intended to be acquired by the portfolio to reduce the
volatility of the currency exposure associated with foreign securities, or as
an efficient means of adjusting exposure to stock or bond markets, and not for
speculation. The Portfolios will only write covered call and cash secured put
options on common stock or stock indices.
 
ESTIMATES--The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that effect the reported amount 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 these
estimates.
 
INVESTMENT VALUATION--Common stocks and outstanding options are recorded at
market value. Investments traded on securities exchanges are valued at the
last sale price on the day of the valuation or, in the absence of a sale that
day, at the mean between the last current bid and asked prices. Fixed income
securities are valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service.
Short-term investments that have remaining maturities of sixty days or less at
the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, if it approximates market
value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available, including
circumstances in which it is determined by Analytic.TSA Global Asset
Management, Inc. (the "Adviser") the bid or asked prices are not reflective of
an investment's market value, are valued at their fair value as determined in
good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision
of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
 
INVESTMENT INCOME AND INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS--Dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date and interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the
 
                                      29

order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains or losses from investment
transactions are reported on an identified cost basis for both financial
statement and Federal income tax purposes.
 
EXPENSE REDUCTIONS--The Portfolio has directed certain portfolio trades to
brokers who paid a portion of the Portfolio's expenses. This amount, if any is
shown as an expense reduction on the statement of operations.
 
WRITTEN OPTION ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES--When a covered put or call option is
written in a portfolio, 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 an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability will be
subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the
option written.
 
When a covered written call expires on its stipulated expiration date, or if
the portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund will
realize a gain (or loss if the cost of the closing purchase transaction
exceeds the premium received when the call option was written) without regard
to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability
related to such option will be extinguished. When a covered written call
option is exercised, the Fund will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the
underlying security and the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium
originally received.
 
When a portfolio writes a covered put option, cash equal to the exercise price
is placed in an interest-bearing escrow account to secure the outstanding put
option. When a put option expires, or if the portfolio enters into a closing
purchase transaction, the portfolio will realize a gain or loss on the option
transaction, the cash is released from escrow, and the liability related to
such option is extinguished. When a put option is exercised, the portfolio
uses the cash in escrow to purchase the security, the cost of the security is
reduced by the premium originally received, and no gain or loss is recognized.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--It is the Fund's intention to comply with the provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code enabling each portfolio to qualify as a regulated
investment company and, in the manner provided therein, to distribute all of
its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for income
or excise taxes has been made.
 
At December 31, 1997 the Short-Term Government had unused capital loss
carryforwards of $797,773. These realized losses are intended to be used to
offset future net capital gains, to the extent provided by regulations
throughout the following expiration dates:

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS--Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Certain foreign currency gains (losses) are taxable as ordinary income
and, therefore increase (decrease) taxable ordinary income available for
distribution.
 
Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions will
result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may affect the per-share
allocation between net investment income and realized and unrealized gain
(loss). Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investment and foreign currency transactions may
include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a
subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is
distributed in the following year.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1998,
consists of cash on deposit and money market funds valued at cost, which
approximates market value. Cash held by brokers consists of cash held in
margin accounts to cover futures activity.

5. FUTURES AND WRITTEN OPTIONS CONTRACTS
 
The Fund trades financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of its investing activities in order to manage exposure to
market risk such as interest rates. These financial instruments include
written options and futures contracts. The notional or contractual amounts of
these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes
of financial instruments and does not necessarily represent the amounts
potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with
these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting
transactions are considered.
