*Commencement of operations was February 24, 1997.

See notes to financial statements.


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 1997 (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE (A) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Winthrop Money Funds ('Fund' or
'Funds') consists of two portfolios (the 'Portfolios'), the Winthrop Municipal
Money Fund and the Winthrop U.S. Government Money Fund (together the 'Money
Funds'), each a separate diversified series of the Winthrop Opportunity Funds
(the 'Trust'). In addition, the Trust also consists of the Winthrop
International Equity Fund and the Winthrop Developing Markets Fund. The Trust
was organized as a Delaware business trust under the laws of Delaware on May 31,
1995 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 'Act'), as
amended, as an open-end investment company. The Money Funds commenced operations
on February 24, 1997.
 
Each Portfolio is considered to be a separate entity for financial reporting and
tax purposes. It is the Funds' policy to maintain a continuous net asset value
of $1.00 per share for each Portfolio. The Fund has adopted certain investment,
portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do
so. There is no assurance, however, that each Portfolio will be able to maintain
a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.
 
The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles which may require the use of management estimates
and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following
is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the
Funds.
 
  (1) SECURITY VALUATION: Securities are valued at amortized cost basis, which
  has been determined by the Funds' Board of Directors to represent the fair
  value of the Funds' investments. This involves initially valuing a security at
  its original cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity
  of any discount or premium.
 
  (2) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with
  financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Funds' Advisor,
  subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase and the Funds' agreement to
  resell such securities at a mutually agreed-upon price. Securities purchased
  subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with the Funds' custodian or
  custodians authorized in accordance with guidelines approved by the Funds'
  Trustees. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, such securities
  must have an aggregate market value greater


<PAGE>
<PAGE>

WINTHROP MONEY FUNDS -- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS April 30, 1997 (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  than or equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If
  the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase
  price plus accrued interest, the Funds will require the seller to deposit
  additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional
  collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation,
  the Funds maintain the right to sell the underlying securities at market value
  and may claim any resulting loss against the seller.
 
  (3) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: The Funds intend to be treated as 'regulated
  investment companies' under Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to
  distribute substantially all of their net taxable income. Accordingly, no
  provisions for federal income taxes have been made in the accompanying
  financial statements. For federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities
  owned at April 30, 1997, was substantially the same as the cost of securities
  for financial statement purposes.
 
  (4) INVESTMENT INCOME AND SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS: Interest income is accrued
  daily. Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are
  purchased or sold. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are
  amortized in accordance with income tax regulations which approximate
  generally accepted accounting principles. Security gains and losses are
  determined on the identified cost basis.
 
  (5) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS: It is the policy of the Funds to declare
  dividends daily from net investment income. Such dividends are paid monthly.
  Dividends from net realized capital gain are normally declared and paid
  annually, but the Funds may make distributions on a more frequent basis to
  comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. To the
  extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss
  carryovers, it is the policy of the Funds not to distribute such gain.
 
  (6) DEFERRED ORGANIZATION COSTS: The Funds will reimburse the Advisor for
  costs incurred in connection with their organization. The costs are being
  amortized on a straight-line basis over sixty months commencing February 24,
  1997.
 
NOTE (B) ADVISORY AND DISTRIBUTION SERVICES AGREEMENT: DLJ Investment Management
Corp. (the 'Advisor') is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette, Inc. ('DLJ'). DLJ is an independently operated,
indirect subsidiary of The Equitable Companies, Incorporated, a holding company
controlled by AXA. Under its Advisory Agreement with the Funds, the Advisor will
provide investment advisory services and order placement facilities for the
Funds and pay all compensation of Trustees of the Funds who are affiliated
persons of the Advisor. The Advisor or its affiliates will also furnish the
Funds, without charge, management supervision and assistance and office
facilities. The Funds will pay the Advisor at the following annual percentage
rates of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio: .40 of 1% of each
Portfolio's first $1 billion and .35 of 1% of the balance. Such fees will be
accrued daily and paid monthly.
 
Commencing at the inception of each Fund through October 31, 1997, the Advisor
has agreed to voluntarily reduce its management fees and the Advisor or its
affiliates have agreed to reimburse operating expenses by the amount that total
fund operating expenses exceed 0.90% of the average daily net assets of each
Fund. After October 31, 1997, the Advisor or its affiliates may, in their sole
discretion, determine to discontinue this practice with respect to either Fund.
As a result of the voluntary assumption of expenses, the Municipal Money Fund
and U.S. Government Money Fund were reimbursed $11,132 and $8,875, respectively,
during the period ended April 30, 1997.
 
Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, the Fund has entered into a Distribution
Services Agreement (the 'Agreement') with Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette
Securities Corporation, the Fund's Distributor, under which the Fund pays a
distribution services fee to the Distributor at an annual rate of up to .25 of
1% of its average daily net assets. Under the Agreement, each Fund is obligated
to pay distribution and/or service fees to the Distributor for its distribution
and service activities as reimbursement for specific expenses incurred. In
addition, the Agreement provides that the Advisor may use its own resources
including fees from investment companies (including the Fund) to finance the
distribution of the Fund's shares.

$2,000 per meeting. In addition, each unaffiliated Trustee who is a member of
the audit committee receives an attendance fee of $1,000 per meeting. Attendance
fees are charged to all series of the Trust and are allocated on a pro rata
basis.
