Vista is in the process of redesigning your Shareholder Reports to include even
more information about your fund, its current investment strategy and how it is
performing.
 
Watch for the completed redesign when you receive your next Semiannual Report.
 
                                                                October 28, 1996
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
We are pleased to provide you with this Annual Report on each of the Vista money
market funds. Inside, you'll find information on the performance of each fund
over the past year ended August 31, 1996 and its current holdings.
 
1995: YIELDS STABLE UNTIL END-OF-YEAR RATE CUT
 
Yields on money market instruments remained relatively stable from September
though mid-December 1995, when the Federal Reserve Board cut the Federal Funds
rate by 25 basis points. This action was followed by another 25 basis point cut
in the same rate on January 31, 1996 as well as a similar decrease in the
discount rate. These cuts, which sought to stimulate the apparently-weak
economy, caused steady declines in money market yields through the end of
February.
 
STRONGER-THAN-EXPECTED ECONOMY BOOSTS YIELDS
 
By the end of February, unexpected signs of stronger economic growth upset the
market's thinking about the direction of interest rates, and from that point
until the end of the reporting year yields tended to move higher. Markets were
volatile as participants reacted to decidedly mixed economic reports and,
although many expected the Fed would raise interest rates to rein in possible
inflation, no such action occurred during the reporting period.
 
OUTLOOK: ECONOMY EXPECTED TO SLOW FOR REMAINDER OF 1996
 
While economic data continue to make the markets volatile, our forecasts call
for a slowing economy for the remainder of 1996. While the Fed still may raise
interest rates if wage or other inflationary pressures appear, we believe that
the fear of sharp increases has subsided.
 
In managing your Fund throughout this volatile period, the objective of the
Vista money market management team has remained constant: to provide you with
stability, liquidity and attractive yields, prudently taking advantage of
opportunities while seeking to protect the principal value of your short-term
funds. We appreciate the confidence you have placed in us and encourage you to
call your investment representative or 1-800-34-VISTA if you have any questions.
 
Sincerely,
/s/ FERGUS REID
Fergus Reid
Chairman

(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 Premier Shares and Institutional Shares of
    Vista 100% U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund, Vista Treasury Plus
    Money Market Fund, Vista Federal Money Market Fund and Vista Tax Free Money
    Market Fund. No fees are being waived for the Institutional Shares of Vista
    U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Vista Federal Money Market Fund, Vista
    Cash Management Fund and Vista Prime Money Market Fund; all other yields
    reflect the voluntary waiver of certain expenses 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 100% U.S. Treasury
Securities Money Market Fund ("USTSMM"), Vista U.S. Government Money Market Fund
("USGMM"), Vista Treasury Plus Money Market Fund ("TPMM"), Vista Federal Money
Market Fund ("FMM"), Vista Cash Management Money Market Fund ("CMMM"), 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 nine of these funds are referred to as "Money Market Funds" or individually
as the "Fund", while TFMM, NYTFMM and CATFMM are collectively referred to as the
"Tax Free Funds".
 
The funds offer various classes of shares as follows:

 * Commenced May 6, 1996.

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. In the event the buyer of securities under
    a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent,
    the Trust's use of proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending a
    determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to
    enforce the Trust's obligation to repurchase the securities. The Trust's use
    of the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement may also effectively be
    restricted pending such decision.
 
    At August 31, 1996, there were no open reverse repurchase agreements.
 
    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 USTSMM, USGMM, TPMM, FMM, PMM and CMMM, interest
    income consists of coupon interest
 
                                       58
<PAGE>   61
 
VISTA MUTUAL FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
    accrued and amortization of premium and discount earned. In the 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 -- Each Fund declares and records a
    dividend of substantially all of its net investment income on each business
    day. Such dividends are paid or re-invested monthly in each respective
    Fund's shares on the payable dates. 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, ("Chase" or "Advisor") acts as the
    investment adviser to the Funds. Chase is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary
    of The Chase Manhattan Corporation. 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 Advisor voluntarily
    waived all or a portion of its fees as outlined in Note 2.F. below.
 
    Chase Asset Management, Inc. ("CAM"), a registered investment adviser, is
    the sub-investment adviser to each Fund, other than the Vista Cash
    Management Money Market Fund and the Vista Tax Fee Money Market Fund,
    pursuant to a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement between CAM and Chase. CAM
    is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chase and is entitled to receive a fee,
    payable by Chase from its advisory fee, at an annual rate equal to 0.03% of
    each Fund's average daily net assets.
 
    Texas Commerce Bank, National Association ("TCB") is the sub-investment
    adviser to the Vista Cash Management Money Market Fund and the Vista Tax
    Free Money Market Fund pursuant to a Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement
    between Chase and TCB. TCB is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chase and is
    entitled to receive a fee, payable by Chase from its advisory fee, at an
    annual rate equal to 0.03% of each Fund's average daily net assets.
 
    B.   Shareholder and Fund servicing fees -- The Trust, on May 6, 1996,
    adopted new 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. For its services, each Shareholder Servicing
    Agent receives a fee 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 (see Note 2.D. for fee
    schedule).

    Prior to May 6, 1996, the Administrative Service Plans also provided for
    Fund Servicing Agents. For its services, the Fund Servicing Agent was paid a
    fee which 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 was
    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 Agents. Certain
    Premier Shareholders of the CMMM 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
    $549,609 and $4,280,425 for FMM and CMMM, respectively. The Shareholder
    Servicing Agents have voluntarily waived all or a portion of their fees as
    outlined in Note 2.F. below.
 
    C.   Distribution and sub-administration fees -- Pursuant to the
    Distribution and Sub-administration Agreements, Vista Fund Distributors,
    Inc. ("VFD" 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.
 
    As of May 6, 1996, the Trustees have adopted revised plans of distribution
    under the 1940 Act for the Premier Shares of USGMM (the "Premier Plan"), for
    the Vista Shares (the "Vista Plan") except for CMMM, and for the B Shares of
    the PMM (the "B Plan"). There are no distribution plans for the
    Institutional Shares. The Premier, Vista and B Shares Plans pay the
    Distributor a distribution fee based upon each Fund's average daily net
    assets for its services in connection with the distribution of each of the
    respective Fund's shares (see Note 2.D. for fee schedule).
 
    Prior to May 6, 1996, the Trust was 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. The Distributor voluntarily waived all or a portion of its
    fees as outlined in Note 2.F. below.
 
    D.   Annualized distribution and shareholder servicing fees --

3.   FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS -- At August 31, 1996, Tax Free Money Market
Fund, New York Tax Free Money Market Fund, California Tax Free Money Market Fund
and Prime Money Market Fund had net capital loss carryovers of approximately
$386,000, $50,000, $16,000 and $11,000, respectively. Such losses will be
available to offset future capital gains and will expire between August 31, 2001
and 2004. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, NYTFMM, PMM and TPMM
utilized capital loss carryovers of approximately $12,000, $8,000 and $85,000
respectively. 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 August 31, 1996 CMMM invested 79.5% of its net assets in financial
institutions, of which 20.3% was invested in Broker Dealers, 24.7% in Banking
and 34.5% in other financial service providers. PMM invested 68.2% of its net
assets in financial institutions, of which 12.8% was invested in Broker Dealers,
18.5% in Banking and 36.9% 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.   TRUSTEE COMPENSATION -- The Funds have adopted an unfunded noncontributory
defined benefit pension plan covering all independent trustees of the Funds who
will have served as an independent trustee for at least five years at the time
of retirement. Benefits under this plan are based on compensation and years of
service. Pension expenses for the

Money Market Fund acquired the net assets of the Hanover 100% U.S. Treasury
Securities Fund in a tax-free reorganization. At the time of the reorganization,
the acquired Fund had approximately $321 million in net assets. The Vista Fund

and The New York Tax Free Fund, respectively, pursuant to a plan of
reorganization approved by Hanover Fund shareholders in April of 1996. The
acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares, at $1 per share,
as shown in the table below. With respect to the mergers of USTSMM and CMMM, the
accounting survivor was determined to be the respective Hanover Fund. The
information included in the financial statements for USTSMM and CMMM for the
period prior to May 6, 1996 relates to the predecessor Hanover Fund.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
To the Trustees and Shareholders of
Mutual Fund Trust
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the selected per share data and ratios for a share of
beneficial interest outstanding present fairly, all material respects, the
financial position of Vista 100% U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund,
Vista U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Vista Treasury Plus Money Market Fund,
Vista Federal Money Market Fund, Vista Cash Management Money Market Fund, Vista
Prime Money Market Fund, Vista Tax Free Money Market Fund, Vista New York Tax
Free Money Market Fund, and Vista California Tax Free Money Market Fund
(separate portfolios of Mutual Fund Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust")
at August 31, 1996, the results of each of their operations for the year then
ended (for the period December 1, 1995 through August 31. 1996 for Vista Cash
Management Money Market Fund and Vista 100% U.S. Treasury Securities Money
Market Fund), the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years
in the period then ended (for the period December 1, 1995 through August 31,
1996 for Vista Cash Management Money Market Fund and Vista 100% U.S. Treasury
Securities Money Market Fund), and the selected per share data and ratios for a
share of beneficial interest outstanding for each of the periods presented (for
the period December 1, 1995 through August 31, 1996 for Vista Cash Management
Money Market Fund and Vista 100% U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund), in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and selected per share data and ratios for a share of beneficial
interest outstanding (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 1996 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the application of alternative
auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide
a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. The statement of changes in
net assets of Vista Cash Management Money Market Fund (formerly Hanover Cash
Management Money Market Fund) and Vista 100% U.S. Treasury Securities Money
Market Fund (formerly Hanover 100% U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund)
for the year ended November 30, 1995 and the selected per share data and ratios
for a share of beneficial interest outstanding for each of the four years in the
period ended November 30, 1995 were audited by other independent accountants
whose report dated January 19, 1996 expressed an unqualified opinion on those
financial statements and the selected per share data and ratios for a share of
beneficial interest outstanding.
