                  VISTA(SM) TAX FREE FUNDS                     CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
 
                                                                  April 15, 1996
 
                            Dear Shareholder:
 
                                We are pleased to present this Semi-Annual
                            Report for the Vista Tax Free Income Fund, Vista New
                            York Tax Free Income Fund and Vista California
                            Intermediate Tax Free Fund for the six months ended
                            February 29, 1996.
 
                            POSITIVE RETURNS DURING CHANGING INTEREST RATE
                            ENVIRONMENT
 
                                Each of the three funds produced positive total
                            returns during a sporadically changing interest rate
                            environment. The six-month period under review began
                            with interest rates remaining relatively stable
                            until the Federal Reserve cut interest rates in
                            December 1995. A follow-up rate cut in January
                            caused bond interest rates, especially on long-term
                            30-year bonds, to decline. In anticipation of these
                            cuts, each of the Vista tax-free funds was
                            maintaining an average maturity of less than 20
                            years, which helped to stabilize the value of each
                            Fund's portfolio in early 1996.
 
                                Despite uncertainty about the U.S. government
                            balancing the budget in the first two months of the
                            year, by the end of February, market watchers
                            expected interest rate stability for the rest of
                            1996 and possible short-term and long-term interest
                            rate increases by early 1997.

                            INCREASED DEMAND FOR BONDS SHOULD HELP MAINTAIN
                            PORTFOLIO VALUE

                                Although the supply of municipal bonds was much
                            higher at the outset of 1996 than the previous year,
                            total 1996 new issue volume should be approximately
                            $145 billion, down $11 billion from last year. This
                            expected decline in the new supply of municipal
                            bonds compared to 1995 should create more demand for
                            what's available. This increased demand should help
                            to support municipal bond prices, and, therefore,
                            the share value of each of the Vista tax-free funds.

                                As always, we appreciate the confidence you have
                            placed in Vista and look forward to helping you
                            achieve your financial goals in the years ahead. If
                            you have any questions, please call us at

FUND COMMENTARY
 
VISTA TAX FREE INCOME FUND
 
The Vista Tax Free Income Fund offers investors an opportunity for
monthly dividends exempt from Federal taxes, consistent with preservation of
capital by investing primarily in longer-term municipal obligations.

        The Vista Tax Free Income Fund performed positively during the period
under review. The stable interest rate environment that existed in September
continued through December 1995, but interest rate volatility started at the end
of December as a result of a Federal Reserve rate cut around the December
holidays. This volatility continued as a result of a follow-up cut in January
and uncertainty over the Federal budget. Yet selective overweighting in key
municipal bond sectors helped to increase portfolio value for the six-month
period ended February 29, 1996.

*Assumes a 5% CDSC for the one-year period and a 3% CDSC for the period
since inception.

        At the beginning of September 1995, the yield curve for bonds steepened
slightly, but with the small spreads between long-term and intermediate bonds,
the Fund's management team decided to maintain an average maturity in the
intermediate range, rather than in the longer range, in an effort to reduce
portfolio volatility.

        With expectations of rate cuts starting in December 1995 and uncertainty
with the Federal budget continuing, the Fund's management team also avoided
general municipal obligation bonds, the price of which could be indirectly
affected by Federal government cutbacks. Instead, the Fund's portfolio had
overweight positions in revenue bonds, such as water and sewer, transportation
and select health care securities, which all helped to increase portfolio value.

        Going into early 1996, the Fund maintained its earlier portfolio
position of intermediate-term municipal bonds in the belief that long-term bonds
would produce only slightly better results while greatly increasing the
potential for volatility. The anticipation at the beginning of the year for
fewer new municipal bonds to be issued compared to 1995 means there should be
increasing demand for this decreasing supply. The potential for this increasing
demand means the Fund's share price may have more stability as a result.

FUND COMMENTARY

VISTA NEW YORK TAX FREE INCOME FUND
 
The Vista New York Tax Free Income Fund offers investors an opportunity for
monthly dividends exempt from Federal and New York State personal income taxes,
consistent with preservation of capital by investing primarily in longer-term
municipal obligations.

     An improved credit rating outlook on New York State's municipal bonds
helped to support the strong performance of the Vista New York Tax Free Income
Fund during a changing interest rate environment. The stable interest rate
environment that existed in September continued through December 1995, but
interest rate volatility started at the end of December as a result of a
Federal Reserve rate cut around the December holidays. This volatility
continued as a result of a follow-up cut in January and uncertainty over the
Federal budget. Yet selective overweighting in key municipal bond sectors, as
well as a stronger credit rating outlook, helped to increase portfolio value
for the six-month period ended February 29, 1996.

 --------------------------------------------
 
    At the beginning of September 1995, as the yield curve for bonds steepened
slightly, the Fund's management team decided to maintain an average maturity in
the intermediate range in an effort to reduce portfolio volatility. With
expectations of rate cuts starting in December 1995 and uncertainty with the
Federal budget continuing, the Fund's management team also avoided general
municipal obligation bonds, the price of which could be indirectly affected by
Federal government cutbacks. Instead, the Fund's portfolio had overweight
positions in revenue bonds, such as water and sewer, transportation and select
health care securities, which all helped to increase portfolio value.

    The anticipation at the beginning of the year for fewer new municipal bonds
to be issued compared to 1995 means there should be increasing demand for this
decreasing supply. The potential for this increasing demand means the Fund's
share price may have more stability as a result.

    At the end of February 1996, the Fund was expecting increased credit value
in its portfolio, as a result of higher tax revenue, which would help improve
the chance of a New York State credit rating upgrade by mid-1996. Toward the
end of February, the Fund's management team was analyzing investment
opportunities from continued consolidation of state agencies as a result of
state government cutbacks, as well as new issues from refinancing activity.

FUND COMMENTARY
 
VISTA CALIFORNIA INTERMEDIATE TAX FREE FUND
 
The Vista California Intermediate Tax Free Fund offers investors an opportunity
for monthly dividends exempt from Federal and California State personal income
taxes.

        The gradual resolvement of credit issues in Orange County helped
support the Vista California Intermediate Tax Free Fund's strong performance
during a changing interest rate environment. The stable interest rate
environment that existed in September continued through December 1995, but
interest rate volatility started at the end of December as a result of a
Federal Reserve rate cut around the December holidays. This volatility
continued as a result of a follow-up cut in January and uncertainty over the
Federal budget. Yet selective overweighting in key municipal bond sectors,
along with renewed investor interest in Orange County, helped to increase
portfolio value for the six-month period ended February 29, 1996.

        At the beginning of September 1995, as the yield curve for bonds
steepened slightly, the Fund's management team decided to maintain an average
maturity in the intermediate range in an effort to reduce portfolio volatility.
With expectations of rate cuts starting in December 1995 and uncertainty with
the Federal budget continuing, the Fund's management team also avoided general
municipal obligation bonds, the price of which could be indirectly affected by
Federal government cutbacks. Instead, the Fund's portfolio had overweight
positions in revenue bonds, such as water and sewer, transportation and select
health care securities, which all helped to increase portfolio value.

        The anticipation at the beginning of the year for fewer new municipal
bonds to be issued compared to 1995 means there should be increasing demand for
this decreasing supply. The potential for this increasing demand means the
Fund's share price may have more stability as a result.

        At the end of February 1996, the Fund's management team was expecting
continued credit strength in the California market, which came back strongly
during the six-month period under review. A renewed interest in Orange County
municipal bonds helped preserve portfolio value, as well as present the Fund
with new investment opportunities for the future.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.   ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- Mutual Fund Trust (the
"Trust") was organized as a Massachusetts business trust, and is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end,
non-diversified management investment company. Vista Tax Free Income Fund
("TFI"), Vista New York Tax Free Income Fund ("NYTFI"), and Vista California
Intermediate Tax Free Fund ("CITF")(collectively the "Funds"), are three
separate portfolios of the Trust.
 
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 TFI and NYTFI Funds offer two classes of shares, referred to as Class A
Shares and Class B Shares, which were first available on November 4, 1993. Class
A shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class B shares
provide for a contingent deferred sales charge. All classes of shares have equal
rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may
bear different distribution expenses and each class has exclusive voting rights
with respect to its distribution plan.
 
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
     the Funds:
 
     A.   Valuation of investments -- Fixed income securities (other than
     short-term obligations), including listed issues, are valued using matrix
     pricing systems of a major dealer in bonds which take into account factors
     such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield,
     quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and
     other market data, without exclusive reliance upon quoted exchange or
     over-the-counter prices. 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.
 
     B.   Repurchase agreements -- It is the Trust's policy that repurchase
     agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury and Government agency
     securities. All collateral is held by the Trust's custodian bank,
     sub-custodian or a bank with which the custodian bank has entered into a
     sub-custodian 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 into an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the
     Trust may be delayed or limited.
 
     C.   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 determined on the basis of coupon interest
     accrued, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discount.
 
     D.   Federal income taxes -- Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable
     entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Trust's policy is to comply
     with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
     investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its
     distributable
 
                                       19

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
     net investment income, and net realized gain on investments. In addition,
     the Trust intends to make distributions as required to avoid excise taxes.
     Accordingly, no provision for Federal income or excise tax is necessary.
 
     E.   Equalization -- In prior years, the Funds followed the practice of
     equalization by which a portion of proceeds from sales and cost of
     redemptions of Fund shares is credited or charged to undistributed net
     investment income. In the current fiscal year ending August 31, 1996, the
     Funds discontinued the practice of equalization, resulting in
     reclassifications from undistributed net investment income of $3,881,
     $18,670 and $2,367 to accumulated paid-in capital for TFI, NYFTI and CITF
     respectively.
 
     F.   Distributions to shareholders -- Dividends are distributed in the form
     of additional shares of the Fund or, at the election of the shareholder, in
     cash (subject to the policies of the Shareholder Servicing Agent) on the
     last business day of the month. The net investment income of each fund is
     determined daily and (substantially all) is declared as a dividend to
     shareholders of record at the time of such declaration. 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 of
     recognition -- "temporary differences") 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 net realized capital gains.
 
     G.   Allocation of income and expenses -- Expenses directly attributable to
     a Fund are charged to that Fund; expenses directly attributable to a
     particular class are charged directly to such class, other expenses are
     allocated proportionately among each Fund within the Trust in relation to
     the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. In calculating
     net asset value per share of each class investment income, realized and
     unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific
     expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the
     proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.
 
2.   FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
     A.   Investment advisory fee -- Pursuant to separate Investment Advisory
     Agreements, The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. ("Chase") acts as the investment
     adviser to the Funds. Chase is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of The
     Chase Manhattan Corporation (2.F.). As investment adviser, Chase supervises
     the investments of the Funds and for such services is paid a fee. The fee
     is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.30% of each
     Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser voluntarily waived all or a
     portion of its fees as outlined in Note 2.E. below.
 
     B.   Shareholder servicing fees -- The Trust has adopted an Administrative
     Services Plan which, among other things, provides that the Trust on behalf
     of the Funds may obtain the services of one or more Shareholder Servicing
     Agents. For its services, each Shareholder Servicing Agent will receive
     fees determined by a formula based upon the number of accounts serviced and
     the number of transactions processed by such Shareholder Servicing Agent
     during the period for which payment is

     being made, and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred, provided that such
     fees will not exceed, on an annualized basis, 0.25% of the average daily
     net assets of each Fund.
 
     Chase is the sole Shareholder Servicing Agent of the Funds. The Shareholder
     Servicing Agent has voluntarily waived all or a portion of its fees as
     outlined in Note 2.E. below.
 
     C.   Distribution and Sub-administration fees -- Pursuant to a Distribution
     and Sub-administration Agreement, Vista Broker-Dealer Services, Inc.
     ("VBDS" or the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the BISYS Group
     Inc. (BISYS) acts as the Trust's exclusive underwriter and promotes and
     arranges for the sale of each Fund's shares. In addition, the Distributor
     provides certain sub-administration services to the Trust, including
     providing officers, clerical staff and office space for an annual fee of
     0.05% of the average daily net assets of each Fund.
 
     The Trustees have adopted Distribution Plans (the "Distribution Plans") for
     Class A for all Funds and Class B for TFI and NYTFI in accordance with Rule
     12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
 
     The Class Distribution Plans provide that each Fund shall pay distribution
     fees at annual rates not to exceed 0.20% of each Fund's average daily net
     assets for Class A shares and 0.75% for Class B shares.
 
     Under Class A Distribution Plans, the Class A shares are also permitted to
     pay an additional fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.05% of its average
     daily net assets in anticipation of, or as reimbursement for, expenses
     incurred in connection with print or electronic media advertising in
     connection with the sale of Fund shares. When such expenses are incurred,
     the maximum compensation paid by the Class A shares under the Class A
     Distribution Plan would be at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily
     net assets.
 
     The Distributor voluntarily waived all or a portion of distribution fees as
     outlined in Note 2.E. below.
 
     D.   Administration fee -- Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, Chase
     (the "Administrator") provides certain administration services to the Trust
     at a fee computed at an annual rate equal to 0.10% of the respective Fund's
     average daily net assets. The Administrator voluntarily waived all or a
     portion of its administration fees as outlined in Note 2.E. below.
 
     E.   Waivers of fees -- For the period ended February 29, 1996, the
     Adviser, Shareholder Servicing Agents, Distributor and Administrator
     voluntarily waived fees for each of the Funds as follows:

     with the merger, the shareholders of the series funds of The Hanover
     Investment Funds, Inc., an open-end management investment company advised
     by affiliates of Chemical Banking Corporation, approved on April 2, 1996
     their merger into certain series of the Trust.
 
     Chase provides portfolio accounting and custody services for the Funds.
     Compensation for such services are presented in the Statement of Operations
     as custodian fees.
 
     During the year ended August 31, 1995, the Funds adopted an unfunded
     noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering all independent
     directors of the Funds who have served as an independent director 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.

At February 29, 1996, Tax Free Income Fund had a net capital loss carryover of
approximately $4,910,000 of which $258,000 will be available through August 31,
1997 and $4,652,000 through August 31, 2003 to offset future capital gains to
the extent provided by regulations. At August 31, 1995, New York Tax Free Income
Fund and California Intermediate Tax Free Fund had net capital loss carryovers
of approximately $826,000 and $289,000, respectively, available through August
31, 2003. Any net capital losses incurred after October 31 ("post-October
losses") within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of
the following fiscal year. Tax Free Income Fund, New York Tax Free Income Fund
and California Intermediate Tax Free Fund incurred and will elect to defer post-
October losses during the current fiscal year of approximately $583,000,
$720,000, and $113,000, respectively. To the extent that any net capital loss
carryover or post-October losses are used to offset future capital gains, it is
probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

                  VISTA(SM) MONEY MARKET FUNDS                 CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
 
                                                                  April 15, 1996
 
                          Dear Shareholder:
 
                              On behalf of Vista, we are pleased to provide you
                          with this Semi-Annual Report on the Vista money market
                          funds. A summary of how these money market funds fared
                          for the first six months of the funds' fiscal year,
                          from September 1995 through February 1996, is provided
                          in this report. Please keep this report, so six months
                          from now you can compare and contrast the enclosed
                          information with the information included in your
                          Annual Report.
 
                          SEPTEMBER 1995 THROUGH YEAR-END 1995
 
                              Yields on money market instruments remained
                          relatively level from September through mid-December
                          1995, partly because the Federal Reserve did not cut
                          rates during this time. On December 19, 1995, however,
                          the Federal Reserve cut short-term rates to help
                          stimulate an apparently weak economy with no
                          inflationary pressures.
 
                          THE NEW YEAR BRINGS TEMPORARY INSTABILITY
 
                              The Federal Reserve followed up on the
                          mid-December rate cut with another cut at the end of
                          January 1996, causing steady declines in money market
                          yields from the end of December through the end of
                          February. Yet, despite initial interest rate
                          uncertainty and an unbalanced Federal budget, market
                          expectations by the end of February were for both
                          short-term and long-term interest rates to increase by
                          early 1997.
 
                          OUTLOOK
 
                              At the end of February, economists were not
                          expecting the Federal Reserve to cut rates
                          substantially for the rest of the year. A projected
                          slow growth rate of 2% to 2.5% in the U.S. economy for
                          the rest of the year means inflation should remain
                          under control, and, therefore, any rate increases for
                          1997 should be minimal.
 
                              Despite market ups and downs, we are proud that
                          the Vista money market funds have continued to provide
                          you with stability, liquidity and attractive yields

(1) Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
    Yields will fluctuate. An investment is neither insured nor
    guaranteed by the U.S. government and there can be no
    assurance that the funds will maintain a stable Net Asset
    Value of $1.00 per share.
(2) No fees are being waived for the U.S. Government Money
    Market Fund (Vista Shares); all other yields reflect the
    voluntary waiver of certain fees and the assumption of
    certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund. This
    voluntary waiver may be modified or terminated at any time,
    which would reduce the funds' performance.
(3) A portion of the funds' income may be subject to the
    Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), and some investors may be
    subject to certain state and local taxes.

1.   ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- Mutual Fund Trust
("MFT") (the "Trust") is organized as a Massachusetts business trust, and
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. Vista U.S. Government
Money Market Fund ("USGMM"), Vista Treasury Plus Money Market Fund ("TPMM"),
Vista Federal Money Market Fund ("FMM"), Vista Global Money Market Fund ("GMM"),
Vista Prime Money Market Fund ("PMM"), Vista Tax Free Money Market Fund
("TFMM"), Vista New York Tax Free Money Market Fund ("NYTFMM") and Vista
California Tax Free Money Market Fund, ("CATFMM") are separate portfolios of
MFT. Collectively all eight of these funds are referred to as "Money Market
Funds" or individually as "Fund", while TFMM, NYTFMM and CATFMM are collectively
referred to as the "Tax Free Funds".
 
The funds offer various classes of shares as follows:

</TABLE>
 
All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting
privileges except that each class may bear different transfer agent,
distribution, shareholder servicing and fund servicing expenses, and each class
has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and
shareholder servicing agreement.
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds:
 
     A.   Valuation of investments -- Money market instruments are valued at
     amortized cost which approximates market value. The Trust's use of
     amortized cost is subject to the Trust's compliance with certain conditions
     as specified under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act.
 
     B.   Repurchase agreements -- It is the Trust's policy that repurchase
     agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury and Government agency
     securities. All collateral is held by the Trust's custodian bank,
     sub-custodian or a bank in 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 into an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the
     Trust may be delayed or limited.
 
     C.   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. In the case of USGMM, TPMM, FMM, PMM and GMM, interest income
     consists of coupon interest accrued and amortization of premium and
     discount earned. In the
 
                                       39
<PAGE>   68
 
VISTA MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
     case of TFMM, NYTFMM and CATFMM, interest income consists of coupon
     interest accrued less the amortization of any premiums on the investments
     of the Funds.
 
     D.   Federal income taxes -- Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable
     entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Trust's policy is to comply
     with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
     investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of a Fund's
     distributable net income, including net realized gain on investments. In
     addition, the Trust intends to make distributions as required to avoid
     excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income or excise tax is
     necessary.
 
     E.   Distributions to shareholders -- The net income of each of the Money
     Market Funds is determined daily, as of 12:00 noon Eastern time, except for
     USGMM, TPMM, FMM, PMM and GMM which are determined as of 2:00 pm Eastern
     time, and substantially all of the net income of each Fund so determined is
     declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of such
     determination. 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 result from other than
     timing of recognition "temporary differences"), such amounts are
     reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income
     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 net realized capital gains.
 
     F.   Income and expenses -- Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are
     charged to that Fund; expenses directly attributable to a particular class
     are charged directly to such class. Other expenses are allocated
     proportionately among the Funds within the Trust in relation to the net
     assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. In calculating net
     asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and
     unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific
     expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the
     proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.
 
2.   FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
     A.   Investment advisory fee -- Pursuant to separate Investment Advisory
     Agreements, The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. ("Chase") acts as the investment
     adviser to the Funds. Chase is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of The
     Chase Manhattan Corporation (see Note 2F.). As investment adviser, Chase
     supervises the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a
     fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to
     0.10% of the average daily net assets for each respective Fund. The Adviser
     voluntarily waived all or a portion of its fees as outlined in Note 2.E.
     below.
 
     B.   Shareholder and Fund servicing fees -- The Trust has adopted
     Administrative Service Plans which, among other things, provide that the
     Trust on behalf of the Funds may obtain the services of one or more
     Shareholder Servicing Agents and Fund Servicing Agents. For its services,
     each Shareholder Servicing Agent receives fees determined by a formula
     based upon the average number of accounts serviced and the number of
     transactions processed by such Shareholder Servicing Agent during the
     period for which payment is being made and any out-of-pocket expenses
     incurred,
 
                                       40

     provided that such fees will not exceed, on an annual basis, 0.25% for each
     of the Vista and B Shares of the Funds, 0.20% for the Premier Shares of
     each of the Tax Free Funds and 0.10% for the Premier Shares of the USGMM,
     TPMM, FMM, GMM and PMM. There is no charge for the Institutional Shares.
 
     For its services, the Fund Servicing Agent is paid a fee which is accrued
     daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.10% for each of the
     Vista Shares and Premier Shares. No Fund Servicing fee is paid for the
     Institutional shares.
 
     Since inception of the Trust, (except as described below) Chase and certain
     of its affiliates have been the only Shareholder Servicing and Fund
     Servicing Agents. In 1995, certain Premier Shareholders of the GMM and FMM
     entered into a Shareholder Servicing arrangement with Capital Network
     Services while certain Vista Shareholders of FMM entered into a Shareholder
     Servicing arrangement with Signet Financial Group. Chase's Shareholder
     Servicing charges amounted to $332,353 and $358,639 for FMM and GMM,
     respectively. The Shareholder Servicing Agents have voluntarily waived all
     or a portion of their fees as outlined in Note 2.E. below.
 
     C.   Distribution and sub-administration fees -- Pursuant to Distribution
     and Sub-administration Agreements, Vista Broker-Dealer Services, Inc.
     ("VBDS" or the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the BISYS
     Group, Inc. (BISYS), acts as the Trust's exclusive underwriter and promotes
     and arranges for the sale of each Fund's shares. In addition, the
     Distributor provides certain sub-administration services to the Trust,
     including providing officers, clerical staff and office space for an annual
     fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of each Fund.
 
     The Trustees have adopted plans of distribution under the 1940 Act for the
     Premier Shares (the "Premier Plan"), for the Vista Shares (the "Vista
     Plan") and for the B Shares of the PMM (the "B Plan"). There are no
     distribution plans for the Institutional Shares. Pursuant to the Vista
     Plan, the Vista Shares pay the Distributor a distribution fee at the annual
     rate of 0.20% of each of the Tax Free Fund's average daily net assets and
     0.10% of the average daily net assets of the USGMM and FMM for its services
     in connection with the distribution of each of the respective Fund's
     shares. Pursuant to the Premier Plan, the Funds may pay the Distributor a
     distribution fee at the annual rate of 0.15% for TFMM and 0.10% for USGMM
     for the Premier Shares' average daily net assets for its services in
     connection with the distribution of Fund shares. Pursuant to the B Shares'
     Plan, the PMM B Shares pay the Distributor a distribution fee at the annual
     rate of 0.75% of the PMM B Shares' average daily net assets for its
     services in connection with the distribution of Fund shares. There is
     currently no distribution plan for GMM and TPMM (all classes); and PMM and
     FMM (Premier class).
 
     The Trust is also permitted to pay the Distributor under each Plan an
     additional amount of 0.05% of the respective Tax Free Fund's average daily
     net assets in anticipation of, or as reimbursement for, advertising
     expenses incurred in connection with the sale of shares of the Tax Free
     Funds.
 
     D.   Administration fee -- Pursuant to the Administration Agreements, Chase
     (the "Administrator") provides certain administration services and
     facilities to each Fund at a fee computed at the annual rate equal to 0.05%
     of the respective Fund's average daily net assets. The Administrator
     voluntarily waived all or a portion of its administration fees as outlined
     in Note 2.E. below.

     signed in August 1995. In connection with the merger, the shareholders of
     the series funds of The Hanover Investment Funds, Inc., an open-end
     management investment company advised by affiliates of Chemical Banking
     Corporation, approved on April 2, 1996 their merger into certain series of
     the Trust.
 
3.   FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS -- At February 29, 1996, Tax Free Money Market
Fund, California Tax Free Money Market Fund and Prime Money Market Fund had net
capital loss carryovers of approximately $42,000, $16,000 and $19,000,
respectively. Such losses will be available to offset future capital gains and
will expire between August 31, 2001 and 2003. To the extent that any net capital
losses are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains so
offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

5.   CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK -- TFMM, NYTFMM and CATFMM, invest
substantially all of their assets in a diversified portfolio of debt obligations
issued by states, territories and possessions of the United States and by the
District of Columbia, and by their political subdivisions and duly constituted
authorities, with NYTFMM primarily investing in issuers in the State of New
York, and CATFMM primarily investing in issuers in the State of California. The
issuers' abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic or
political developments in a specific state or region.
 
As of February 29, 1996 GMM invested 53.10% of its net assets in financial
institutions, of which 6.34% was invested in Broker Dealers, 19.44% in Banking
and 27.32% in other financial service providers. PMM invested 57.23% of its net
assets in financial institutions, of which 8.44% was invested in Broker Dealers,
23.11% in Banking and 25.68% in other financial service providers. General
economic conditions, as well as exposure to credit losses arising from possible
financial difficulties of borrowers, play an important role in the operation of
the financial services industry.
 
6.   CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS -- On February 27, 1995, The Chase Manhattan
Corporation purchased a security from PMM for $720,000 in excess of the
security's fair market value. PMM recorded a realized loss on the sale and a
capital contribution of an equal amount from Chase. Chase received no shares of
PMM or other consideration in exchange for such contribution. For tax purposes,
these capital contributions reduced the realized losses for the year ended
August 31, 1995.
 
7.   OTHER -- During the year ended August 31, 1995, the Funds adopted an
unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering all independent
directors of the Funds who have served as an independent director 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.
