REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS THE WRIGHT MANAGED BLUE CHIP INVESTMENT FUNDS SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 30 , 2005 THE WRIGHT MANAGED EQUITY TRUST o Wright Selected Blue Chip Equities Fund o Wright Major Blue Chip Equities Fund o Wright International Blue Chip Equities Fund THE WRIGHT MANAGED INCOME TRUST o Wright U.S. Government Near Term Fund o Wright Total Return Bond Fund o Wright Current Income Fund THE WRIGHT MANAGED BLUE CHIP INVESTMENT FUNDS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE WRIGHT MANAGED BLUE CHIP INVESTMENT FUNDS CONSISTS OF THREE EQUITY FUNDS FROM THE WRIGHT MANAGED EQUITY TRUST AND THREE FIXED INCOME FUNDS FROM THE WRIGHT MANAGED INCOME TRUST. EACH OF THE SIX FUNDS HAVE DISTINCT INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES. THEY CAN BE USED INDIVIDUALLY OR IN COMBINATION TO ACHIEVE VIRTUALLY ANY OBJECTIVE. FURTHER, AS THEY ARE ALL "NO-LOAD" FUNDS (NO COMMISSIONS OR SALES CHARGES), PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION STRATEGIES CAN BE ALTERED AS DESIRED TO MEET CHANGING MARKET CONDITIONS OR CHANGING REQUIREMENTS WITHOUT INCURRING ANY SALES CHARGES. APPROVED WRIGHT INVESTMENT LIST Securities selected for investment in these funds are chosen mainly from a list of "investment grade" companies maintained by Wright Investors' Service ("Wright" or the "Adviser"). All 25,000 global companies (covering 50 countries) in Wright's database are screened as new data becomes available to determine any eligible additions or deletions to the list. The qualifications for inclusion as "investment grade" are companies that meet Wright's Quality Rating criteria. This rating includes fundamental criteria for investment acceptance, financial strength, profitability & stability and growth. In addition, securities, which are not included in Wright's "investment grade" list, may also be selected from companies in the fund's specific benchmark (up to 20% of the market value of the portfolio) in order to achieve broad diversification. Different quality criteria may apply for the different funds. For example, the companies in the Major Blue Chip Fund would require a higher Investment Acceptance rating than the companies in the Selected Blue Chip Fund. THREE EQUITY FUNDS WRIGHT SELECTED BLUE CHIP EQUITIES FUND (WSBC) seeks to enhance total investment return through price appreciation plus income. The fund's portfolio is characterized as a blend of growth and value stocks. The market capitalization of the companies is typically between $1-$10 billion at the time of the fund's investment. The Adviser seeks to outperform the Standard & Poor's 400 Index (S&P 400) by selecting stocks using fundamental company analysis and company specific criteria such as valuation and earnings trends. The portfolio is then diversified across industries and sectors. WRIGHT MAJOR BLUE CHIP EQUITIES FUND (WMBC) seeks to enhance total investment return through price appreciation plus income by providing management a broadly diversified portfolio of equities of larger well-established companies with market values of $10 billion or more. The Adviser seeks to outperform the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500) by selecting stocks, using fundamental company analysis and company specific criteria such as valuation and earnings trends. The portfolio is then diversified across industries and sectors. WRIGHT INTERNATIONAL BLUE CHIP EQUITIES FUND (WIBC) seeks total return consisting of price appreciation plus income by investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of equities of well-established, non-U.S. companies. The portfolio may buy common stocks traded on the securities exchange of the country in which the company is based or it may purchase American Depositary Receipts (ADR's) traded in the United States. The portfolio is denominated in U.S. dollars and investors should understand that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may impact the value of their investment. The Adviser seeks to outperform the MSCI Developed World ex U.S. Index by selecting stocks using fundamental company analysis and company-specific criteria such as valuation and earnings trends. The portfolio is then diversified across industries and sectors. THREE FIXED-INCOME FUNDS WRIGHT U.S. GOVERNMENT NEAR TERM FUND (WNTB) is a diversified portfolio concentrating on bonds and other obligations of the U.S. Government and U.S. Government Agencies with an average weighted maturity of between one and three years. This portfolio is designed to appeal to the investor seeking a high level of income that is normally somewhat less variable and normally somewhat higher than that available from short-term money market instruments and who is also tolerant of modest fluctuation in capital (i.e. compared with somewhat greater fluctuation likely with longer term fixed income securities). Dividends are accrued daily and paid monthly. The fund's benchmark is the Lehman U.S. Government 1-3 Year Bond Index. WRIGHT TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND (WTRB) is a diversified portfolio of investment grade government and corporate bonds and other debt securities of varying maturities which, in the Adviser's opinion, will achieve the portfolio objective of best total return (i.e. the total of ordinary income plus capital appreciation). Accordingly, investment selections and maturities may differ depending on the particular phase of the interest rate cycle. Dividends are accrued daily and paid monthly. The fund's benchmark is the Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. WRIGHT CURRENT INCOME FUND (WCIF) may be invested in a variety of securities and may use a number of strategies, including GNMAs, to produce a high level of income with reasonable stability of principal. The fund reinvests all principal payments. Dividends are accrued daily and paid monthly. The funds benchmark is the Lehman GNMA Backed Bond Index.

Once again, mid- and small-cap stocks outperformed big-cap equities during the second quarter. Energy stocks, clear winners in 2005's first quarter, were only marginally better than average in the second. Encouragingly, market breadth improved and was at post-1998 highs as the third quarter began. The U.S. bond market, as measured by the Lehman Aggregate, had a 3% return in the second quarter, beating the S&P 500's total return by more than 1.5% for a second straight quarter and demonstrating the merits of bonds in balanced portfolios - even in a low interest rate environment. U.S. economic growth appears to have moderated in Q2 from the close to 4% growth rates of the prior three quarters, due to high oil prices, higher interest rates from the Fed and the natural slowing that occurs in year four of an economic expansion. As the second quarter ended, the Federal Reserve bumped up its target fed funds rate to 3.25%, its ninth quarter-point increase in the past 12 months. Crude oil prices ended the second quarter little changed from where they began it ($56.50 a barrel vs $57), but the encouraging decline in prices seen in April and May reversed itself in June. In the face of ongoing supply-based pressures on oil prices and indications of more interest rate hikes ahead, consumer confidence ended the first half at the highest levels of the year. National purchasing manager surveys point to improving conditions in manufacturing and service industries. On balance, the U.S. business expansion appears to be on a 3.0%-3.5% growth track going into the second half. Despite high oil prices, underlying inflation pressures are contained, according to the Federal Reserve. In fact, the inflation rate implied by the difference between nominal and inflation-indexed Treasury bond yields fell by 40-50 basis points, to around 2.3%, during Q2. Energy costs may impede world economic growth and persuade other prices to rise in the second half of 2005, but ultimately high oil prices will cool demand enough to bring oil prices below this year's extraordinary levels. Geopolitical developments - renewed bouts of chaos in Iraq and the rejection of a new EU constitution by voters in France and the Netherlands - were not especially positive during the second quarter, nor was the trend of business in Europe. Nonetheless, foreign stocks have generally outdistanced U.S. shares so far in 2005, although the dollar's surprising appreciation (7% against the euro) in the second quarter caused returns to lag for dollar-based investors. In spite of the "conundrum" of falling long-term interest rates in the second quarter, the evidence indicates that the economy is still growing at close to its long-term trend of 3.5% and core inflation is not far from the Fed's 2% target. While we believe that the Fed will usher the fed funds rate higher (perhaps to 4%) over the next 12 months, the rise in long-term bond yields should be relatively modest. In such an environment, corporate profits should continue to impress, with earnings gains on the order of 10% expected for the S&P 500 in both 2005 and 2006. On the strength of rising profits and dividends and healthier balance sheets, stocks are expected to improve on the 6% return earned in the year ended June 30 over the coming 12 months. Bonds are unlikely to match the nearly 7% return achieved over the past 12 months, but they should keep ahead of inflation. As always, I invite your questions and suggestions on how we can better serve your investment needs. Sincerely, /s/Peter M. Donovan ------------------- Peter M. Donovan President MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EQUITY FUNDS U.S. STOCKS EDGED INTO POSITIVE TERRITORY IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2005 AFTER RETREATING IN Q1. IN THE FIRST QUARTER, INVESTORS WORRIED ABOUT INCREASED INFLATION; IN THE SECOND, THEY FRETTED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE EXPANSION WAS ON SHAKY GROUND. IN BOTH QUARTERS, OIL PRICES WERE CENTRAL TO THESE CONCERNS. OIL PRICES ROSE TO PEAK ABOVE $57 A BARREL IN EARLY APRIL, THEN DECLINED 18% BEFORE SURGING AGAIN TO A NEW PEAK ABOVE $60 NEAR MIDYEAR. WITH OIL PRICES SEEN AS A THREAT TO ECONOMIC GROWTH, TOWARDS MID-YEAR SOME INVESTORS AND ECONOMISTS WORRIED THAT THE FED MIGHT BE GOING TOO FAR IN ITS REMOVAL OF MONETARY ACCOMMODATION. NEVERTHELESS, ON THE LAST DAY OF THE QUARTER, THE FED RAISED THE FED FUNDS RATE ANOTHER 25 BASIS POINTS TO 3.25%, EXPRESSED CONFIDENCE IN THE EXPANSION AND SIGNALED THERE WAS MORE TIGHTENING TO COME. HEALTHY PROFITS, REASONABLE VALUATIONS AND LOW INTEREST RATES WORKED IN THE STOCK MARKET'S FAVOR IN THE SECOND QUARTER. STOCKS HIT THEIR LOWS FOR THE YEAR IN APRIL AND CLAWED THEIR WAY BACK FROM THERE, WITH THE S&P 500 RECOVERING 5% FROM THIS BOTTOM. THE S&P 500'S 1.4% RETURN FOR THE SECOND QUARTER WAS NOT ENOUGH TO OFFSET THE FIRST QUARTER'S LOSS, LEAVING IT WITH A 0.8% LOSS FOR THE FIRST HALF. THE DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS LOST 1.6% FOR THE SECOND QUARTER ON A SELL-OFF LATE IN JUNE FOR WHICH THE SPIKE IN OIL PRICES GETS MOST OF THE BLAME. NASDAQ FARED BETTER IN THE SECOND QUARTER, RETURNING 3.1%, THOUGH IT STILL HAD THE LARGEST LOSS (ABOUT 5%) OF THE BIG-THREE MARKET AVERAGES FOR THE FIRST HALF. THE S&P MIDCAP 400 AND SMALLCAP 600 BOTH OUTPERFORMED THE S&P 500 IN Q2 WITH RETURNS OF ABOUT 4%; BOTH ARE IN THE BLACK FOR THE YEAR TO DATE. THE STRENGTH IN THE DOLLAR THIS YEAR HAS TAKEN A BITE OUT OF RETURNS TO U.S. INVESTORS FROM FOREIGN STOCKS. THE MSCI WORLD EX U.S. INDEX LOST 0.8% IN THE SECOND QUARTER AND 0.7% FOR THE FIRST HALF IN DOLLARS. WE FORESEE AN ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT OF MODERATE GROWTH AND INFLATION OVER THE COMING YEAR. ALTHOUGH GROWTH IS LIKELY TO SLOW FROM THE PACE OF THE LAST 12 MONTHS AND INFLATION MAY BE A LITTLE HIGHER, THIS WOULD NEVERTHELESS BE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT COULD SUPPORT PROFIT GROWTH IN THE 8%-10% RANGE OVER THE COMING 12 TO 24 MONTHS. ALTHOUGH BUSINESSES ARE FEELING SOME PRESSURE FROM HIGHER RAW MATERIAL AND LABOR COSTS, SELLING PRICES ARE EDGING UP AND EFFORTS AT INCREASING EFFICIENCY CONTINUE. EVEN WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT IN P/E MULTIPLES, STOCKS SHOULD MOVE UP OVER THE COMING YEAR JUST ON THE BASIS OF HIGHER PROFITS. P/E MULTIPLES HAVE COME DOWN BY MORE THAN ONE POINT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR; IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME RETRACEMENT OF THIS DECLINE WILL BOOST RETURNS. ALTHOUGH WE WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THE CAUTIOUS MOOD THAT HAS REINED IN MULTIPLES CONTINUES, WE WERE ENCOURAGED BY THE FACT THAT MARKET BREADTH HIT POST-1998 HIGHS AS THE THIRD QUARTER BEGAN. WE ALSO CONTINUE TO BELIEVE IN THE BENEFITS OF DIVERSIFICATION, PARTICULARLY IN A RISKY INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT. THE AGGREGATE P/E OF THE S&P 400 MIDCAPS IS CURRENTLY HIGHER THAN THAT OF THE S&P 500, BUT IN EXCHANGE THE MIDCAPS OFFER BETTER GROWTH PROSPECTS. INTERNATIONAL EQUITIES LOOK RELATIVELY ATTRACTIVE ON A VALUATION BASIS. 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 Total Return 6 Mos.

WRIGHT SELECTED BLUE CHIP EQUITIES FUND The S&P MidCap 400 did better than the S&P 500 in each of the first two quarters of 2005. The Wright Selected Blue Chip Fund (WSBC) took full advantage of its positioning as a mid-cap blend fund, returning 4.6% in the second quarter of 2005. This showing topped both the S&P MidCap 400's 4.3% and the 2.8% return for an average of 79 mid-cap blend funds in the Morningstar database. For the first half of 2005, the WSBC also outperformed, returning 5.5% compared to 3.9% for the S&P MidCaps and 1.6% for the Morningstar benchmark. WSBC returned nearly 16% over the last 12 months, topping the MidCaps (14%) and the Morningstar average (11%). In the first half of 2005, the larger stocks in the S&P MidCap 400 outperformed the smaller, and the WSBC Fund was correctly positioned for this. Contributing to the good showing by the larger issues in the second quarter was strength in home builders (e.g., D.R. Horton, since moved to the S&P 500, and Toll Brothers both returned 29% for the quarter), which are among the larger issues in the MidCaps. WSBC benefited from holding these issues and other larger cap issues that outperformed in the quarter such Legg Mason (+33%), Pacificare Health (+26%) and Equitable Resources (+19%). Also contributing to the strong results in the first half were the first quarter's surge in energy stocks, in which the Fund remains slightly overweighted, and a relatively strong showing by the Fund's stock selections in the health care sector. As the third quarter of 2005 was getting underway, the WSBC remained overweight in the consumer discretionary sector, which has been doing well; the Fund is underweight in financials due to our forecast of rising interest rates and underweight in technology due to lingering concerns about profit prospects. With the economic expansion maturing, WSBC should benefit from being positioned in the more substantial companies in the S&P MidCap 400. Additionally, the companies in the WSBC have a lower median P/E than the S&P MidCap 400. WRIGHT MAJOR BLUE CHIP EQUITIES FUND The Wright Major Blue Chip Fund (WMBC) is managed as a blend of the large-cap growth and value stocks in the S&P 500 Composite, selected with a bias toward the higher-quality issues in the index. In the second quarter of 2005, U.S. stocks posted modestly positive returns after losing ground in Q1. The WMBC returned 0.8% in the April-to-June period, lagging the 1.4% returns for both the S&P 500 and an average of 152 large-cap blend funds in the Morningstar data base. For the first half of 2005, WMBC lost 1.4% compared to losses of 0.8% for the S&P 500 and 0.7% for the Morningstar average. Though lagging modestly in 2005, the Fund's last 12 months' return of 8.4% exceeds both the S&P 500 (+6.3%) and the Morningstar peer group (+5.7%). In the second quarter of 2005, the WMBC's shortfall compared to the S&P 500 was due to a lagging performance in April which was largely recouped by the end of the quarter. During the quarter, the Fund benefited from the relatively strong showing of its selections in the consumer discretionary sector, including home builders (e.g., Centex +23%, KB Home +29%, Pulte Homes +14%) and some retailers (e.g., Best Buy +20%, Nordstrom +23%). Among the stocks whose results detracted from the Fund's relative performance were Molson Coors Brewing -19%, ExxonMobil -3% (one of the Fund's largest holdings) and IBM -19%. For the first half of the year, the Fund also benefited from an overweight position in the energy sector, which returned nearly 18% in the first quarter. As the economic expansion continues to age, profit growth is expected to slow. Sustainability of earning growth is becoming more important in stock performance, and the quality tilt in the WMBC Fund should work to its advantage in this regard. In addition, WMBC should also benefit from the historically low valuations currently accorded to high-quality stocks. The portfolio's median 12-month forward P/E multiple is more than a point lower than the S&P 500's, while its historical growth and forecast earnings growth are better, a combination that ought to drive above-market performance. WRIGHT INTERNATIONAL BLUE CHIP EQUITIES FUND After outperforming the S&P 500 in the first quarter of 2005 as well as for all of 2004, the MSCI World ex U.S. index (in dollars) lagged in the second quarter of 2005 as the appreciation of the dollar canceled a positive local currency return. Nevertheless, the Wright International Blue Chip Fund (WIBC) outperformed the S&P 500 as well as its international benchmarks in the quarter, returning 2.1% compared to losses of 0.8% for both the MSCI World ex U.S. index and an average of 127 international equity funds in the Morningstar database. For the first half of 2005, the WIBC Fund returned 3.5%, compared to losses of 0.7% for the MSCI benchmark and 1.2% for the Morningstar average. WIBC's 12-month return of 19% tops 15% for the MSCI benchmark and 13% for the Morningstar average. In international markets, the strong showing in energy stocks continued in the second quarter, and the WIBC continued to benefit from its overweight position in energy. In addition, an overweighting in utility stocks, another strong international sector, worked for the Fund in the quarter. The Fund was overweight in the Euro Bloc, which had relatively strong markets, while underweight in Japan, which was weak. On an absolute basis, a number of the Fund's weakest holdings were Japanese issues, reflecting the weakness of the Japanese market. Looking at first-half performance, several of the same factors that benefited the second quarter- strength in energy, overweighting in Europe and superior stock selection - contributed to the good showing; being underweight in technology also helped the WIBC Fund. WIS continues to believe that on a valuation basis, international stocks are attractive relative to U.S. stocks. The WIBC is still overweight in energy and utility stocks but has reduced its positions in these sectors by taking profits. The Fund has also further reduced its positioning in technology. The proceeds have been invested in industrials, including some in Japan as the economy shows signs of improving, and telecom, which looks attractive on a valuation basis. These actions have increased the Fund's holdings in Sweden and Hong Kong as well as Japan, but reduced its weight in Europe, the U.K. and Canada. FIXED-INCOME FUNDS AFTER RETREATING IN THE FIRST QUARTER, BONDS WERE SOLIDLY IN THE BLACK IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2005. EVEN THOUGH THE FED RAISED THE TARGET FED FUNDS RATE BY 50 BASIS POINTS IN THE SECOND QUARTER, JUST AS IT DID IN THE FIRST, LONG-TERM BOND YIELDS RETRACED ALL OF THE FIRST QUARTER'S RISE AND THEN SOME. SEVERAL FACTORS APPEARED TO BE AT WORK IN ENGINEERING THIS SOMEWHAT SURPRISING RALLY. WORRY ABOUT A SLOWDOWN IN U.S. ECONOMIC GROWTH FIGURED IN THE DECLINING LONG RATES, BUT THE PROSPECT OF 3%-3.5% GROWTH AND 2%-2.5% CORE INFLATION ALONE DOESN'T SEEM ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY THE EXTENT OF THE BOND MARKET RALLY. INVESTMENT STRATEGIES OF HEDGE FUNDS AND PENSION AND MORTGAGE MANAGERS PROBABLY ALSO PLAYED A ROLE. THE GLOBAL INVESTMENT FLOWS EXPLANATION, I.E., A GLOBAL SAVINGS GLUT FINDING ITS WAY TO THE U.S. BOND MARKET, SEEMED TO GAIN ADHERENTS; U.S. INTEREST RATES, AS LOW AS THEY ARE, LOOK ATTRACTIVE COMPARED TO THE EVEN LOWER RATES IN OTHER MARKETS. THE LEHMAN U.S. AGGREGATE BOND MARKET INDEX RETURNED 3.0% IN THE SECOND QUARTER, BRINGING ITS FIRST-HALF 2005 RETURN TO 2.5%. TREASURYS LED THE INVESTMENT GRADE MARKET WITH A 3.6% RETURN IN THE QUARTER AND 3.2% YEAR TO DATE. IN Q2, CORPORATES WERE ONLY A SHADE BEHIND WITH A 3.5% RETURN (2.4% YTD), AN IMPRESSIVE SHOWING SINCE THE CORPORATE SECTOR HAD TO OVERCOME THE DOWNGRADES OF FORD AND GM DEBT TO NONINVESTMENT GRADE. THE AGENCY, ASSET-BACKED AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECTORS WERE ALSO IN THE BLACK FOR BOTH THE QUARTER AND THE HALF. LONG-MATURITY ISSUES OUTPERFORMED SHORTER IN THE QUARTER AND YTD AS THE YIELD CURVE CONTINUED TO FLATTEN. IN THE SECOND QUARTER, THE YIELD ON THE 10-YEAR T-BOND DECLINED BY 57 BASIS POINTS, THE TWO-YEAR DECLINED BY 15 BPS, AND THE ONE-YEAR ROSE BY 10 BPS. AT ABOUT 30 BASIS POINTS, THE SPREAD BETWEEN TWO- AND 10-YEAR TREASURY YIELDS WAS THE NARROWEST IN FOUR-AND-A-HALF YEARS. OUR OUTLOOK IS FOR BOND RETURNS TO LAG EQUITY RETURNS OVER THE COMING YEAR. IF THE GLOBAL INVESTMENT FLOWS ARGUMENT IS INDEED A REASON WHY BOND YIELDS ARE CURRENTLY SO LOW, THEN YIELDS ARE LIKELY TO STAY LOWER THAN WE FORECAST AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. WE EXPECT THAT RATES WILL MOVE SOMEWHAT HIGHER, HOWEVER. OUR EXPECTATION IS THAT THE FED WILL TIGHTEN BY AT LEAST ANOTHER 50 BASIS POINTS AND POSSIBLY 75 BY EARLY 2006, PUTTING THE FED FUNDS RATE AT 4.0%. THIS SHOULD PUSH UP RATES AT THE SHORT END OF THE YIELD CURVE AND IN COMBINATION WITH MODERATE GROWTH AND MODERATE INFLATION, PUSH LONG RATES HIGHER ALSO. THE RETURN ON THE LEHMAN U.S. AGGREGATE INDEX IS TARGETED AT ABOUT 3% OVER THE COMING YEAR. THE SECOND-QUARTER RALLY IN BONDS REMINDS US THAT EVEN WITH INTEREST RATES LOW, THE RISKS OF THE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT ARGUE FOR DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS THAT INCLUDE FIXED-INCOME SECURITIES. 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 Total Return 6 Mos.

WRIGHT U.S. GOVERNMENT NEAR TERM FUND The Wright U.S. Government Near-Term Fund (WNTB) is positioned to offer an alternative to money market funds. The Fund may experience some mild price fluctuation, but it typically has less sensitivity to changes in interest rates than longer maturity funds. In the two-year maturity range, where the WNTB is positioned, Treasury yields declined about 15 basis points during the second quarter after rising in the first quarter. This contributed to the WNTB's 1.0% return in the second quarter, modestly behind the 1.2% for both the Lehman 1-3 year government bond index and an average of 60 Morningstar government bond funds with an average maturity between one and three years. An overall rise in rates for the first half of the year helped limit WNTB's gain to 0.7%, about the same as the Morningstar average but behind the 0.9% return for the Lehman benchmark. Over the past year, the WNTB Fund returned 1.7% compared to 2.1% for the Lehman benchmark and 2.2% for the Morningstar average. After the first quarter's rise in interest rates, at the start of the second quarter the WNTB was positioned with a duration of about 1.7 years, which just about matched the Lehman benchmark. As yields moved lower in Q2, the Fund's duration was shortened in anticipation of a reversal of the rally, a shift that proved to be early and worked against the Fund's performance in the quarter. To pick up extra yield, the Fund is overweight in mortgage-backed securities (30% of assets). The position in whole-loan adjustable rate mortgages was sold in Q2. The Fund is underweighting Treasuries (35% of assets) and is about neutral in Agency securities (34%). The Fund is expected to continue to underweight Treasury issues and as the third quarter began was positioned with a shorter-than-benchmark maturity and duration, consistent with our forecast that yields would be moving up from mid-year levels. The WNTB Fund had an indicated annual yield of 3.0% at the end of Q2. WRIGHT TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND As the bond market rallied in the second quarter of 2005, the Wright Total Return Bond Fund (WTRB), a diversified bond fund, returned 2.6% for the period. This was behind the Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index's 3.0% return but a little better than the 2.5% return for an average of 174 total return bond funds in the Morningstar database. WTRB's second-quarter gain more than recovered its loss in the first quarter (when the bond market retreated). For the first half of 2005, WTRB returned 2.0%, ahead of the Morningstar average's 1.9% but behind the Lehman Aggregate's 2.5%. Over the last 12 months, the Fund (+5.9%) edged out the Morningstar peer group average (+5.8%) but lagged the Lehman Average (+6.8%) by just about the amount of fund expenses. The WTRB's indicated annual yield was 4.3% at the start of the third quarter. WTRB was moved from a short duration to neutral in the first quarter as interest rates rose; in response to the interest rate decline, in the second quarter the Fund's duration was shortened in anticipation that the rate decline would reverse. The move proved to be early, but the short position (about a quarter year compared to the Lehman Aggregate) was maintained at the start of the third quarter in anticipation that rates would move higher over the coming months. With corporate spreads staying tight, the Fund reduced its position in corporates during the first and second quarters, but is still moderately overweight (29% of Fund assets at quarter end) to pick up extra yield. Although corporates lagged the Aggregate in the first quarter, they outperformed in the second, partly offsetting the negative effect of the Fund's short duration. In the second quarter, the Fund moved to an overweight position in mortgage-backed securities (42% of assets), which have lagged so far this year but which should provide incremental return as rates rise going forward. The Fund ended the first half slightly underweight in agency issues (about 10% of assets) but is expecting to increase that position to neutral for the extra yield they provide. The position in Treasurys remains less than the benchmark weight. The Fund also holds small positions in commercial mortgage-backed securities (3%) and asset-backed issues (4%). Two whole-loan adjustable rate mortgages were sold in the quarter. WRIGHT CURRENT INCOME FUND The Wright Current Income Fund (WCIF) is generally managed to be almost entirely invested in GNMA issues - mortgage-based securities, known as Ginnie Maes, with explicit backing from the Federal government. The WCIF Fund is actively managed to maximize income and minimize principal fluctuation. (During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Wright U.S. Government Intermediate Fund was merged into the WCIF.) Mortgage-backed securities lagged the Lehman Aggregate in the second quarter of 2005 after outperforming in the first quarter. For the second quarter, WCIF returned 1.4%, behind the 2.0% for the Lehman GNMA bond index and the 1.9% for an average of all 61 government mortgage funds in the Morningstar database. For the first half of 2005, WCIF returned 1.0% compared to 2.1% for the Lehman benchmark and 1.5% for the Morningstar average. The Fund's 12-month return was 3.9% compared to 5.8% for the Lehman index and 4.5% for the Morningstar benchmark. With interest rates expected to rise modestly in 2005, reducing the risk of mortgage prepayments, the WCIF was positioned to be slightly overweight in higher-coupon issues during the first and second quarters of 2005. This allocation, which worked against the Fund in the second quarter, is being maintained as the third quarter gets underway since WIS is still expecting higher mortgage rates in the coming months. The overweighting of higher coupon issues has the advantage of providing extra income. The Fund's duration was targeted to be slightly shorter than the Lehman Ginnie Mae benchmark's. At the start of the third quarter, the WCIF Fund had an indicated annual yield of 4.4%, making it attractive for income-oriented investors. U.S. SECURITIES MARKETS ------------------------------------------------------- The Dow Jones Industrial Average chart shows the point changes in the average which consists of 30 major NYSE industrial companies and is a price-weighted arithmetic average, with the divisor adjusted for stock splits. The yield chart shows the basis point changes in the U.S. Treasury bond which is the benchmark U.S. Treasury bond with a maturity of 10 years. The following plotting points are used for comparison in the mountain charts. Date Dow Jones U.S. 10 Year Industrial Average Treasury Bond Yield 12/31/96 6448.27 6.43% 12/31/97 7908.25 5.75% 12/31/98 9181.43 4.65% 12/31/99 11,497.12 6.44% 12/31/00 10,786.85 5.11% 12/31/01 10,021.50 5.00% 12/31/02 8,341.63 3.82% 12/31/03 10,453.92 4.25% 12/31/04 10,783.01 4.22% 12/31/05 10,274.97 3.92% FUND EXPENSES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXAMPLE: As a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs including management fees; distribution or service fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2005-June 30, 2005). ACTUAL EXPENSES: The first line of the tables shown on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the fist line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES: The second line of the tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual return of the Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if payable). Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

See notes to financial statements WRIGHT MANAGED EQUITY TRUST ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Wright Managed Equity Trust (the Trust), issuer of Wright Selected Blue Chip Equities Fund (WSBC) series, Wright Major Blue Chip Equities Fund (WMBC) series, and Wright International Blue Chip Equities Fund (WIBC) series (collectively, the Funds), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end, management investment company. The Funds seek to provide total return consisting of price appreciation and current income. Prior to December 20, 2002, WSBC and WIBC invested all of their investable assets in interests in a separate corresponding open-end management investment company (a Portfolio), a New York Trust, having the same investment objective as its corresponding fund. Subsequent to December 20, 2002, the Funds invest directly in securities rather than through the Portfolios and maintain the same investment objectives. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A. Investment Valuations - Securities listed on securities exchanges or in the NASDAQ National Market are valued at closing sale prices, if those prices are deemed to be representative of market values at the close of business. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sale prices are not available are valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices. Short-term obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Securities for which market quotations are unavailable or deemed not to be representative of market values at the close of business are appraised at their fair value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. B. Foreign Currency Translation - Investment security valuations, other assets, and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investment securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. C. Income - Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. However, if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. D. Expense Reduction - Investors Bank & Trust (IBT) serves as custodian to the Funds. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Funds maintain with IBT. All credit balances used to reduce the Fund's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of total expenses on the Statement of Operations. E. Federal Taxes - The Trust's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) available to regulated investment companies and distribute to shareholders each year all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. At December 31, 2004, the Trust,for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryovers of $33,673,411 (WMBC) and $19,221,164 (WIBC) which will reduce the Funds' taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distribution to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the respective fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax.Pursuan to the Code, such capital loss carryovers will expire as follows: 12/31 WSBC WMBC WIBC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2009 - $13,839,245 $ 3,647,716 2010 - 17,603,398 14,010,156 2011 - 2,230,768 1,563,292 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ At December 31, 2004, net capital losses of $15,195 for WIBC attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2004 are treated as arising on the first day of the fund's current taxable year. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. F. Distributions - The Trust requires that differences in the recognition or classification of income between the financial statements and tax earnings and profits which result only in temporary overdistributions for financial statement purposes, are classified as distributions in excess of net investment income or accumulated net realized gains. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits are reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting for certain items may result in reclassification of these items. G. Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. H. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. I. Interim Financial Information - The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2005 and for the six month period then ended have not been audited by an Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm but in the opinion of the Trust's management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normally recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements. (2) INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES The Trust has engaged Wright Investors' Service, Inc. (Wright) to act as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to an Investment Advisory Contract. Wright furnishes the Funds with investment management, investment advisory, and other services. For its services, Wright is compensated based upon a percentage of average daily net assets which rate is adjusted as average daily net assets exceed certain levels. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the effective annual rate was 0.80% for WIBC and 0.60% for WSBC and WMBC. Wright has been allocated expenses of $7,714, and $6,393 on behalf of WSBC and WMBC, respectively. The Trust also has engaged Eaton Vance Management (Eaton Vance) to act as administrator of the Trust. Under the Administration Agreement, Eaton Vance is responsible for managing the business affairs of the Trust and is compensated based upon a percentage of average daily net assets which rate is reduced as average daily net assets exceed certain levels. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the effective rate was 0.12% for WSBC, 0.12% for WMBC, and 0.17% for WIBC. Certain of the Trustees and officers of the Trust are Trustees or officers of the above organizations. Except as to Trustees of the Trust who are not employees of Eaton Vance or Wright, Trustees and officers receive remuneration for their services to the Trust out of the fees paid to Eaton Vance and Wright. (3) DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES The Trustees have adopted a Distribution Plan (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Plan provides that each of the funds will pay Wright Investors' Service Distributors, Inc. (Principal Underwriter), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Winthrop Corporation, an annual rate of 0.25% of each fund's average daily net assets for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of each fund's shares. Under a written agreement in effect through the current fiscal year, Wright waives a portion of its advisory fee and/or distribution fees and assumes operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit expense ratios to 1.25% after custodian fee reductions, if any, for both WSBC and WMBC. Pursuant to this agreement, the principal underwriter made a reduction of its fees of $26,837 on behalf of WSBC. The investment adviser also assumed $7,714 and $6,393 of expenses on behalf of WSBC and WMBC, respectively. In addition, the Trustees have adopted a service plan (the Service Plan) which allows the funds to reimburse the Principal Underwriter for payments to intermediaries for providing account administration and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of shares. The amount of service fee payable under the Service Plan with respect to each class of shares may not exceed 0.25% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to the respective classes. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the funds did not accrue or pay any service fees. (4) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Transactions in fund shares were as follows:

(7) LINE OF CREDIT The funds participate with other funds managed by Wright in a committed $10 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a bank. The funds may temporarily borrow from the line of credit to satisfy redemption requests or settle investment transactions. Interest is charged to each fund based on its borrowings at an amount above the federal funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on the average daily unused portion of the $10 million line of credit, is allocated among the participating funds at the end of each quarter. WSBC, WMBC, and WIBC did not have significant borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended June 30, 2005. WIBC had $1,114,000 outstanding at June 30, 2005. (8) RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FOREIGN INVESTMENTS Investing in securities issued by companies whose principal business activities are outside the United States may involve significant risks not present in domestic investments. For example, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, particularly those not subject to the disclosure and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers.

Had such action not been undertaken, net investment income per share and the ratios would have been as follows: 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Net investment income per share........ $ 0.081 $ 0.097 $ 0.134 $ 0.323 $ 0.452 $ 0.511 ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= Ratios (As a percentage of average net assets): Expenses ............................ 1.53%(8) 1.38% 1.28% 1.20%(3) 1.22%(3) 1.13%(3) ========= ========= ========= =========== ========= ========= Expense after custodian fee reduction(4) 1.51%(8) 1.37% 1.28% 1.18%(3) 1.20%(3) 1.10%(3) ========= ========= ========= =========== ========= ========= Interest expense..................... 0.01%(8) - 0.01% - - - ========= ========= ========= =========== ========= ========= Net investment income................ 1.65%(8) 0.96% 1.42% 2.87% 4.15% 5.13% ========= ========= ========= =========== ========= ========= ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2)Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase at the net asset value on the first day and a sale at the net asset value on the last day of each year reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at the net asset value on the reinvestment date. (3)Includes each fund's share of its corresponding portfolio's allocated expenses (Note 1). (4)Custodian fees were reduced by credits resulting from cash balances the fund maintained with the custodian (Note 1C). The computation of net expenses to average daily net assets reported above is computed without consideration of such credits. (5)Represents portfolio turnover rate of the fund's corresponding portfolio (Note 1). (6)Under a written agreement, Wright waives all or a portion of its advisory and/or distribution fees and assumes operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit expense ratios to 0.95% after custodian fee credits are applied. (7)Reporting guidelines require the funds to disclose the effects of implementing the change in accounting for amortization of premium and discount on debt securities. If adjustments were not made, net investment income per share would have been $0.491 and net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share would have been $0.184. (8)Annualized.

Had such action not been undertaken, net investment income per share and the ratios would have been as follows: 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 --------------------------------------------------------- Net investment income per share.......... $ 0.217 $ 0.429 $ 0.455 $ 0.621 $ 0.701 ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= Ratios (As a percentage of average net assets): Expenses............................... 1.20%(6) 1.18% 1.17% 1.09% 1.02% ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= Expenses after custodian fee reduction(3) 1.18%(6) 1.17% 1.17% 1.08% 1.01% ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= Net investment income.................. 3.45%(6) 3.36% 3.46% 4.78% 6.38% ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2)Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase at the net asset value on the first day and a sale at the net asset value on the last day of each year reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at the net asset value on the reinvestment date. (3)Custodian fees were reduced by credits resulting from cash balances the fund maintained with the custodian (Note 1C). The computation of net expenses to average daily net assets reported above is computed without consideration of such credits. (4)Reporting guidelines require the funds to disclose the effects of implementing the change in accounting for amortization of premium and discount on debt securities. If adjustments were not made, net investment income per share would have been $0.716 and net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share would have been $(0.097). (5)Under a written agreement, Wright waives all or a portion of either its advisory and/or distribution fees and assumes operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit expense ratios to 0.95% after custodian fee credits are applied.

See notes to financial statements WRIGHT MANAGED INCOME TRUST ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (1)SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Wright Managed Income Trust (the Trust), issuer of Wright U.S. Government Near Term Fund (WNTB) series, Wright Total Return Bond Fund (WTRB) series, and Wright Current Income Fund (WCIF) series (collectively, the Funds), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end, management investment company. WNTB seeks a high level of income, which is normally above that available from short-term money market instruments or funds. WTRB seeks a superior rate of total return, consisting of a high level of income plus price appreciation. WCIF seeks a high level of current income consistent with moderate fluctuations of principal. Prior to December 20, 2002, WNTB and WCIF invested all of their investable assets in interests in a separate corresponding open-end management investment company (a Portfolio), a New York Trust, having the same investment objective as its corresponding fund. Subsequent to December 20, 2002, the Funds invest directly in securities rather than through the Portfolio and maintain the same investment objective. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A. Investment Valuations - Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as furnished by a pricing service. Investments for which valuations are not readily available will be appraised at their fair value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. Short-term obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. B. Interest Income - Interest income consists of interest accrued and discount earned (including both original issue and market discount) and amortization of premium or discount on long-term debt securities. The income is accrued ratably to the date of maturity on the investments of the funds. C. Expense Reduction - Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as custodian to the Funds. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Funds maintain with IBT. All credit balances used to reduce the Fund's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of total expenses on the Statement of Operations. D. Federal Taxes - The Trust's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) available to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. At December 31, 2004, the Trust, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryovers of $1,114,851 (WNTB), $1,755,347 (WTRB) and $274,864 (WCIF) which will reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, and thus will reduce the amount of the distribution to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the respective fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryovers will expire as follows: 12/31 WNTB WTRB WCIF ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006 $37,825 - - 2007 297,581 - - 2008 273,806 $1,246,741 - 2010 - 508,606 - 2012 505,639 - $274,864 At December 31, 2004, net capital losses of $32,603 for WNTB and $6,402 for WCIF, attributable to security transactions incurred after October 31, 2004, are treated as arising on the first day of the fund's current taxable year. E. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F. Other - Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or sold. G. Interim Financial Statements - The interim financial statements relating to June 30, 2005 and for the period then ended have not been audited by an Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, but in the opinion of the Trust's management reflect all recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements. (2)DISTRIBUTIONS Each fund's policy is to determine net income once daily, as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange and the net income so determined is substantially declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of such determination. Distributions of realized capital gains are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same fund at the net asset value as of the ex-dividend date. Dividends may be reinvested in additional shares of the same fund at the net asset value as of the payable date. The Trust requires that differences in the recognition or classification of income between the financial statements and tax earnings and profits which result in temporary overdistributions for financial statement purposes be classified as distributions in excess of net investment income or accumulated net realized gains. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits are reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting for certain items may result in reclassification of these items. (3)INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES The Trust has engaged Wright Investors' Service, Inc. (Wright) to act as investment adviser to the funds pursuant to the respective Investment Advisory Contracts. Wright furnishes each fund with investment management, investment advisory, and other services. For its services, Wright is compensated based upon a percentage of average daily net assets which rate is adjusted as average daily net assets exceed certain levels. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the effective annual rate for WNTB, WCIF, and WTRB was 0.45 %. Under a written agreement, Wright waives a portion of its advisory fee and/or distribution fees and assumes operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit expense ratios to 0.95% after custodian fee reductions, if any. Accordingly, Wright made a reduction of its investment adviser fee by $23,073 on behalf of WNTB. In addition, Wright has been allocated expenses of $8,653 and $9,616 on behalf of WNTB and WCIF, respectively. The Trust also has engaged Eaton Vance Management (Eaton Vance) to act as administrator of the Trust. Under the Administration Agreement, Eaton Vance is responsible for managing the business affairs of the Trust and is compensated based upon a percentage of average daily net assets which rate is reduced as average daily net assets exceed certain levels. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the effective annual rate was 0.09% for WNTB, 0.07% for WTRB, and 0.09% for WCIF. Certain of the Trustees and officers of the Trust are directors/trustees and/or officers of the above organizations. Except as to Trustees of the Trust who are not employees of Eaton Vance or Wright, Trustees and officers received remuneration for their services to the Trust out of fees paid to Eaton Vance and Wright. (4)DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES The Trustees have adopted a Distribution Plan (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Plan provides that each of the funds will pay Wright Investors' Service Distributors, Inc. (Principal Underwriter), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Winthrop, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each fund for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of each fund's shares. Pursuant to a written agreement (Note 3), the Principal Underwriter made a reduction of its fee by $25,636, $44,632, and $44,387 for the benefit of WNTB, WTRB and WCIF, respectively. In addition, the Trustees have adopted a service plan (the Service Plan) which allows the funds to reimburse the Principal Underwriter for payments to intermediaries for providing account administration and personal and account maintenance services to their customers who are beneficial owners of each fund's shares. The amount of service fee payable under the Service Plan may not exceed 0.25% annually of each fund's average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the funds did not accrue or pay any service fees.

THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES CONSIDERED, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE FOLLOWING: EQUITY FUNDS AND INCOME FUNDS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o Whether the advisory arrangements are fair and reasonable relative to possible alternative arrangements. The Trustees concluded that the advisory fees paid by the funds are reasonable. o Whether advisory services are being provided as agreed to. The Trustees concluded that the services being provided by the adviser are as agreed to in the advisory contract. o Whether compensation paid by a Fund to the adviser is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided and the charges by other advisers for similar services. The Trustees concluded that the compensation paid by the funds to the adviser is in the average range of compensation charged by other advisers for similar services and is reasonable. o Fees and expense ratios compared to similar funds. The Trustees concluded that the expense ratios of the funds are lower than the average for similar funds. o Performance and relationship of fees and performance. The Trustees concluded that in most cases the performance results of the funds were at least in the mid-range of similar funds while their expense ratios were generally lower. o Analysis of each Fund's profitability to the adviser. The Trustees concluded that the profitability to the adviser of each fund was reasonable and not excessive. o The adviser's financial condition and the overall organization of the adviser. o Sales and redemption data.
