MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
FROM THE INVESTMENT ADVISOR
Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to provide you with the semi-annual report for the Matthews Asian Funds for the period ended June 30, 2005. In general, the first six months of 2005 were a positive period for Asian economies but saw mixed returns from the financial markets. For the seven funds that comprise the fund series, returns ranged from a gain of 11.52% for the Matthews Korea Fund to a decline of 4.47% for the Matthews Japan Fund. Relative to comparable Asian funds, the performance of the Matthews Asian Funds in the first six months was also mixed, with a strong relative showing for the Matthews Korea Fund and somewhat disappointing relative performance for the Matthews China Fund. Performance relative to the appropriate benchmarks over this period is discussed in greater detail in the individual Fund commentaries.
Generally speaking, investment sentiment in the first six months of 2005 was dominated by rising oil prices and higher U.S. interest rates, and in this environment, some of the best-performing stocks and sectors in Asia were in the energy sector. While many of the Funds have positions in Asian energy companies, we have generally been underweight the sector, and this had some impact on relative performance. On the other hand, the strong absolute performance of the Korean equity market was the biggest positive contributor to performance for the fund family’s regionally diversified funds.
Asian economic performance in the first six months of 2005 continued to be dominated by the growth of the mainland Chinese economy, which reported a 9% increase for the period. This growth rate continued in spite of efforts by the authorities to dampen growth in certain sectors amid concerns that this rate of growth would eventually lead to imbalances in the economy and rising inflation. It would appear that this strategy has had some success in some sectors, but has not slowed the Chinese economy as a whole. During the period, China continued to take steps toward further financial reform—in particular, through selling stakes in major banks and other financial institutions to foreign entities, and listing others on overseas exchanges.
While we believe that the authorities in China would have liked to have been able to take this process further before changing the decade-old link of the yuan to the U.S. dollar, the pressure to take some action proved irresistible. July’s surprise announcement

of a modest revaluation of the yuan and a change in the rate-setting mechanism came sooner than we had expected. We believe that this move will likely have a number of effects on the mainland economy and its neighbors, not all of which will be positive. Overall, however, we believe that while it falls far short of a free float, the move to a marginally more flexible system will require that China’s financial system reforms accelerate and raises the bar for China’s success.
Currency issues aside, the Chinese equity markets in the first half of the year saw a dramatic divergence between local “A” share performance and the performance of offshore proxies and plays on the growth of “greater China.” For example, the Shanghai A Share index of locally listed companies declined by 13.0% in the first half of the year, while the MSCI China Index gained 5.2%. We believe that over the long term, China’s markets will continue to open up. We also believe that until the currency is truly convertible, divergence between different categories of Chinese securities over short time periods is inevitable.
Elsewhere in the region, economic performance remained generally positive, although Japan continued to show only modest growth. Merger-and-acquisition activity in Japan emerged in the period as a new potential theme for investors. We believe that the pressure to embrace corporate reform in Japan is increasing as competition from other Asian economies grows. The region continues to see increased cross-border investments, and we believe that Japan is increasingly embracing regionalism—albeit reluctantly. While this trend was challenged in the first half of the year by rising tensions between China and Japan over a number of issues, we believe that the big picture remains one of greater integration in the region.
South Korea enjoyed particularly strong stock market returns in the first half of the year, and its indices are now flirting with multi-year highs in local currency terms. This performance was in spite of generally disappointing economic numbers in the first half, which allowed the Korean central bank to be one of the few around the world to reduce interest rates over the period. Korean equity markets remain dominated by a small number of very large companies, but they are clearly less

dominated by Chaebol groups than was the case prior to the financial crisis. As always, the North Korean situation remains highly unpredictable, but investors have been encouraged by recent developments.
The countries and economies that are in close proximity to China continued to benefit from China’s performance in the first half of the year, and this helped stock markets in Hong Kong and Singapore show positive returns over the period. Taiwan performed less well but rallied in the second quarter, led by technology stocks. In South Asia, where the Funds generally have only modest positions, the Indonesian market rallied over the period, while the Thai market was modestly lower. The economic impact of last year’s tsunami proved only modest although the human tragedy was enormous. The Philippines was again roiled by political scandal and was unable to sustain gains made in the early part of the year.
The Indian economy and markets continued to perform well in the first half of the year, and we have been increasing our exposure to that market modestly, as well as stepping up our visits to meet management in that country. Australian stocks also performed well in the first half, helped by continued buoyancy in many commodity markets.
Thank you for your continued support of the Matthews Asian Funds.

REDEMPTION FEE POLICY
The Funds assess a redemption fee of 2.00% of the total redemption proceeds if you sell or exchange your shares within 90 calendar days after purchasing them. The redemption fee is paid directly to the Funds and is designed to discourage frequent short-term trading and to offset transaction costs associated with such trading of Fund shares. For purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies, the shares that have been held longest will be redeemed first. The redemption fee does not apply to redemptions of shares held in certain omnibus accounts and retirement plans that cannot currently implement the redemption fee. While these exceptions exist, the Funds are not accepting any new accounts that cannot implement the redemption fee. In addition, the Funds are actively discussing a schedule for implementation of the fee with these providers. For more information on this policy, please see the Funds’ prospectus.
INVESTOR DISCLOSURE
Past Performance: All performance quoted in this report is past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate with changing market conditions so that when redeemed, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the returns quoted. Returns are net of the Funds’ management fee and other operating expenses. If certain of the Funds’ fees and expenses had not been waived, returns would have been lower. For the Funds’ most recent month-end performance, please call 1-800-789-ASIA [2742] or visit www.matthewsfunds.com.
Investment Risk: Mutual fund shares are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depositary institution. Shares are not insured by the FDIC, Federal Reserve Board or any government agency and are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal amount invested. Investing in international markets may involve additional risks, such as social and political instability, market illiquidity, exchange-rate fluctuations, a high level of volatility and limited regulation. In addition, single-country and sector funds may be subject to a higher degree of market risk than diversified funds because of concentration in a specific industry, sector or geographic location. Please see the Funds’ prospectus or Statement of Additional Information for more risk disclosure.
Fund Holdings: The Fund holdings shown in this report are as of June 30, 2005. Holdings are subject to change at any time, so holdings shown in this report may not reflect current Fund holdings.

MATTHEWS PACIFIC TIGER FUND
 
      
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT   SYMBOL: MAPTX
Lead Manager: Mark W. Headley
Co-Manager: G. Paul Matthews
The Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the common and preferred stocks of companies located in the Pacific Tiger countries of China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMMENTARY
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, the Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund gained 3.15%, versus a rise of 5.65% for the MSCI All Country Far East ex-Japan Index and a gain of 5.50% for the Lipper Pacific ex-Japan Funds Category Average. The Fund’s performance was negatively affected by a substantial markdown of a small holding in a Hong Kong-based industrial company that is likely under liquidation. This is the second time in the Fund’s almost 11-year history that a company in the portfolio has failed.
The Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund has seen strong performance from holdings in the consumer sector as well as in information technology. Several of the Fund’s long-term core holdings in the financial sector have been a source of some weakness so far this year, although several bank holdings performed well. The significant exposure to financials and the failure of the company mentioned above were primary contributors to the Fund’s underperformance over the period. Korea was the most powerful contributor on a country basis. Solid returns were also seen from Taiwan,
Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore and India. Only Thailand showed real weakness during the period.
The Fund’s long-term search for companies that drive their own growth has led to a portfolio with no exposure to pure energy companies. Such companies have generally performed very well over the past 12 months, and the Fund’s lack of exposure to them has hurt relative performance.
Generally, the Fund remains strongly overweight consumer-related companies combined with financials, technology and telecommunications. The most significant shift in the period was the additional exposure to companies in Taiwan, a market where we have long been very cautious but are finding a strong combination of growth and value in select companies. The Fund remains weighted toward domestically driven companies in Asia, with a portfolio that has exposure to a wide range of small, medium and large companies.

MATTHEWS ASIAN GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
 
 
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT   SYMBOL: MACSX
Lead Manager: G. Paul Matthews
Co-Manager: Andrew T. Foster
The Matthews Asian Growth and Income Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the dividend-paying equity securities and convertible bonds of companies located in Asia, which includes China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
Note: This fund is closed to most new investors.
PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMMENTARY
For the first six months of 2005, the Matthews Asian Growth and Income Fund gained 4.92%, marginally underperforming the MSCI All Country Far East ex-Japan Index, which gained 5.65%, and the Lipper Pacific ex-Japan Funds Category Average, which gained 5.50%. The portfolio’s near 20% weighting in convertible and straight corporate bonds could not keep pace with the equity component during the period and was the main reason for the underperformance.
During the six-month period, the Fund gained most from its positions in South Korea, led by an unusual combination of banks and export-oriented companies. The second-highest contributor to performance by country was Hong Kong, while returns from the Fund’s positions in Thailand and Indonesia contributed negatively over the period. By sector, overall returns were strongest from the financial, energy and property sectors, while some of the Fund’s holdings in the advertising and media sectors were negative contributors. At the beginning of the period, the Fund’s exposure to convertible and other bonds accounted for approximately 17% of the portfolio; this had been increased as of June 30 to just under 20%. This slight increase in the bond exposure was in response to what has been a prolonged period of outperformance by equities in the region.
The region continues to grapple with rising oil prices and concerns that demand may wane in key export markets. Domestically, we believe that the outlook for growth generally appears relatively healthy. While this domestic demand may be vulnerable to unexpected external shocks, such as disruption caused by a natural disaster or terrorist attack, we believe that it is likely to prove resilient over the longer term. Consensus earnings expectations are not overly optimistic, in our opinion, and we believe that valuations in the region remain reasonable.

MATTHEWS KOREA FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT   SYMBOL: MAKOX
Co-Managers: G. Paul Matthews and Mark W. Headley
The Matthews Korea Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the common and preferred stocks of companies located in South Korea.
PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMMENTARY
During the first six months of 2005, the Matthews Korea Fund gained 11.52%, underperforming the South Korean Stock Price Index (KOSPI), which gained 13.30%. The Fund outperformed the Lipper Pacific ex-Japan Funds Category Average, which returned 5.50% for the period.
The primary reason for the underperformance of the Fund relative to its benchmark was the contribution of a single company, Samsung Electronics, to both the Fund and the index. While strong returns from Samsung contributed most to the returns of both the Fund and the index, the weighting of this one stock in the index is over 16%, whereas the Fund’s weighting in this position has been consistently maintained at around 12%. We believe that it is prudent to keep this position at this level rather than commit one company to such a significant proportion of the portfolio. The KOSPI also benefited from the relative performance of a number of capital-intensive heavy-industry companies, which the Fund tends to underweight. Aside from these factors, the Fund benefited from significant positive contributions from its overweight positions in Korean pharmaceutical companies and consumer stocks generally, while its positions in telecom companies underperformed.
While the Fund performed well against its Lipper peer group, the majority of funds in this group are more diversified regionally; in a period when Korea showed strong relative performance, this should be expected.
The Korean market is now approaching multi-year highs in local currency terms, in spite of continued uncertainty over the outcome of discussions with North Korea and somewhat weaker economic performance in the first half of the year. The market benefited from the fact that the Korean central bank was one of the few central banks in the world that had been lowering interest rates over the period. This policy has been in reaction to weak domestic demand, which now appears to have stabilized. While higher oil prices have weighed on sentiment all year, they have not derailed expectations for overall economic growth. Overall valuations remain relatively modest but are heavily dependent on earnings from a small number of large companies and would not look so cheap if those companies were to stumble.

MATTHEWS CHINA FUND
 
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT   SYMBOL: MCHFX
Lead Manager: Richard H. Gao
Co–Managers: Mark W. Headley and G. Paul Matthews
The Matthews China Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the common and preferred stocks of companies located in China. China includes Taiwan and Hong Kong.
PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMMENTARY
The Matthews China Fund ended the first six months of 2005 up 0.79%, underperforming the MSCI China Index and the Lipper China Region Funds Category Average, which were up 5.25% and 1.56%, respectively.
The major reasons behind the underperformance against the benchmark index were the Fund’s relative underweight positions in the energy and telecom service sectors, which saw extremely strong rallies during the period: Two major energy stocks accounted for 21% and a mobile phone-service company accounted for 18% of the benchmark index as of the end of June 2005. The Fund’s performance was also negatively affected by a substantial markdown of a small industrial holding in the portfolio that is likely under liquidation. The company accounted for a little over 1% of the Fund’s total assets before the markdown.
During the period, the energy and telecom services sectors provided most of the Fund’s gains. With surging crude oil prices and China’s continued strong demand for oil, the two oil companies in the portfolio repeatedly hit historical highs over the six-month period. Telecom service companies also performed strongly, driven by stable subscriber growth and a better earnings outlook. The Fund also gained from its positions in the consumer discretionary and financial sectors. On the negative side, besides the markdown, most of the Fund’s losses came from industrial sector companies, which are seeing margin pressures due to higher raw-material costs and rising competition.
The Fund selectively increased its positions in domestic consumer and financial companies. Although the Fund’s relative underweight in the energy and telecom services sectors has led to its short- and medium-term underperformance against the index, we continue to believe that a diversified portfolio of companies that have sustainable growth potential will provide the best risk-adjusted returns over the long term.

MATTHEWS JAPAN FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT   SYMBOL: MJFOX
Lead Manager: Mark W. Headley
Co–Manager: Patricia Higase, CFA
The Matthews Japan Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the common and preferred stocks of companies located in Japan.
PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMMENTARY
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Matthews Japan Fund declined 4.47%, outperforming the MSCI Developed Markets Japan Index, which declined 5.80%, but underperforming the Tokyo Price Index (TOPIX), which declined 4.33%. The Fund also underperformed the Lipper Japanese Funds Category Average, which declined 4.15%.
The Japanese equity market began 2005 on a positive note but corrected sharply in mid-April due to a lack of consistent and strong macroeconomic data. In addition, the Japanese yen weakened approximately 8% against the U.S. dollar, resulting in lower returns for U.S. dollar–based investors. The sectors that contributed most to Fund performance were health care, consumer staples and industrials.
Banks and other financials continued to underperform the markets in general; the Fund’s concentration in these sectors detracted from performance during the six-month period. Although oil and commodity-related sectors outperformed the broader Japanese equity market over the period, the Fund did not benefit due to its underweight positions in these sectors. Select retailers, healthcare equipment, services and Internet-related positions in the Fund performed well and contributed positively to performance. Despite strong performance over the past few years, the smaller-capitalization indices continued to outperform larger-capitalization indices during the first half of the year. As a multi-capitalization portfolio, the Fund was able to participate in some but not all of the small-caps’ outperformance over the period.
During the past six months, the Fund slightly reduced its positions in select telecommunications operators and large-cap consumer-discretionary stocks due to company-specific negative fundamentals. The Fund remains focused on three core sectors: financials, consumer and technology, all of which we believe will benefit from a recovery in Japanese consumption as well as increasing consumption from Asia Pacific consumers.

MATTHEWS ASIAN TECHNOLOGY FUND
 
 
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT   SYMBOL: MATFX
Co–Managers: Mark W. Headley, Patricia Higase, CFA and Andrew T. Foster
The Matthews Asian Technology Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the common and preferred stocks of companies located in Asia which derive a substantial portion of their revenues from the sale of products or services in technology-related industries and services. Asia includes China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMMENTARY
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Matthews Asian Technology Fund gained 0.37%, outperforming both its benchmark, the MSCI/Matthews Asian Technology Index and the Lipper Science and Technology Funds Category Average, which declined by 2.63% and 6.05%, respectively.
In the first six months of 2005, the diversified telecommunications services, software and IT services sectors performed well. The Fund participated in this outperformance through a position in a Japanese broadband company, Indian IT companies, and Korean and Chinese gaming companies. The Fund’s best-performing sectors were the semiconductor, software and services, and hardware and equipment sectors. The consumer and telecommunications-related technology sectors detracted from performance.
On a country basis, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan made the largest positive contribution over the period, while Japan and Thailand were the worst performers. Korean technology companies benefited from the strong overall performance of the Korean markets over the first half of the year. The Fund also benefited from its exposure to the Taiwanese semiconductor sector, which rebounded after being out of favor for some time. Japanese technology stocks have been somewhat negatively impacted by the overall underperformance of Japanese equities relative to other Asian equity markets. On a stock basis, Korean and Chinese Internet-related gaming companies, semiconductor equipment and foundry companies outperformed, contributing positively to Fund performance. A Japanese telecommunications operator, mobile software and Internet companies detracted from Fund performance.
The Fund made few changes to its overall portfolio over the period. We believe that the Fund is well-positioned to benefit from increasing demand for technology products and services from Asian consumers.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMMENTARY
The Matthews Asia Pacific Fund gained 1.11% during the first six months of 2005, outperforming both the MSCI All Country Asia Pacific Index and the Lipper Pacific Region Funds Category Average, which returned –1.08% and 0.11%, respectively. The region’s largest market, Japan, has been one of the weaker markets so far this year.
The Fund saw strong performance from a range of smaller companies in the portfolio, while weaker returns tended to be dominated by large companies. There is some concern that smaller-capitalization companies with strong growth stories are pushed to excessive valuations. In contrast, many larger companies are trading at what appear to be very attractive values. The Fund’s performance was helped by its exposure to consumer, industrial and technology-related firms.
On a country basis, Korea, Hong Kong and India were the most significant contributors to positive performance. The financial sector in general was quite weak, as were the Fund’s holdings in Japan in general. China-related and Thai shares were also weak in this period. The Fund continues to be significantly underweight the Japanese market. This is partially due to the very large weighting of Japan in the benchmark index, which challenges our notion of proper diversification as well as the relatively lower company valuations often found elsewhere in the region.
The strategy of the Fund remains broadly focused on domestically related industries, combined with healthy exposure to outstanding global technology and manufacturing companies. The Fund’s growth-at-a-reasonable-price approach continues to define the portfolio as a whole, but individual holdings range from relatively expensive growth stocks to deep value positions. We believe that this range of exposure provides long-term diversification that benefits long-term shareholders.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
 
UNAUDITED
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s operating expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing fees (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The table on page 39 illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return: This section helps you to estimate the actual operating expenses, after any applicable fee waivers, that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return for the past six month period, the “Expense Ratio” column shows the period’s annualized expense ratio, and the “Operating Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund at the beginning of the period.
You may use the information here, together with your account value, to estimate the operating expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, 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 given for your fund in the first line under the heading entitled “Operating Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return: This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had an annual return of 5% before operating expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. This example is useful in making comparisons to other mutual funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an assumed 5% annual return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the operating expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. The Funds assess a redemption fee of 2.00% of the total redemption proceeds if you sell or exchange your shares within 90 calendar days after purchasing them. The redemption fee is paid directly to the Funds and is designed to discourage frequent short-term trading and to offset transaction costs associated with such trading of Fund shares. For purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies, the shares that have been held longest will be redeemed first. The redemption fee does not apply to redemptions of shares held in certain omnibus accounts and retirement

plans that cannot currently implement the redemption fee. While these exceptions exist, the Funds are not accepting any new accounts which cannot implement the redemption fee. In addition, the Funds are actively discussing a schedule for implementation of the fee with these providers. For more information on this policy, please see the Funds’ prospectus.
The Matthews Asian Funds do not charge any sales loads, exchange fees, or 12b-1 fees, but these may be present in other funds to which you compare this data. Therefore, the hypothetical portions of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    Matthews Asian Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end investment management company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”). The Trust currently issues seven separate series of shares (each a “Fund” and collectively, the“Funds”): Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund, Matthews Asian Growth and Income Fund, Matthews Korea Fund, Matthews China Fund, Matthews Japan Fund, Matthews Asian Technology Fund and Matthews Asia Pacific Fund. Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund, Matthews Korea Fund and Matthews China Fund are authorized to offer two classes of shares: Class I shares and Class A shares. Currently, only Class I shares are offered. Effective December 31, 2004, the Funds fiscal year end changed from August 31 to December 31. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
 
A.   SECURITY VALUATION: The Funds’ equity securities are valued based on market quotations or at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees when no market quotations are available or when market quotations have become unreliable. The Board of Trustees has delegated the responsibility of making fair value determinations to the Pricing Committee of Matthews International Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”), subject to the Funds’ Pricing Policies. The Funds have retained a third-party pricing service which may be utilized by the Pricing Committee under circumstances described in the Pricing Policies to provide fair value prices for certain securities held by the Funds. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its NAV differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities for that day. All fair value determinations are made subject to the Board’s oversight.
 
    The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investment in equity securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. International dollar bonds are issued offshore, pay interest and principal in U.S. dollars, and are denominated in U.S. dollars.
 
    Market values for equity securities are determined based on the last sale price on the principal exchange or over-the-counter market on which the security is traded. If a reliable last sale price is not available, market values for equity securities are determined using the mean between the last available bid and asked price. Securities are valued through valuations obtained from a commercial pricing service or at the most recent mean of the bid and asked prices provided by investment dealers in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees.
 
    Foreign securities are valued as of the close of trading on the primary exchange on which they trade. The value is then converted to U.S. dollars using current exchange rates and in accordance with the Pricing Policies.
 
    Foreign currency exchange rates are determined at the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”). Occasionally, events affecting the value of foreign investments occur between the time at which they are determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. Such events would not normally be reflected in a calculation of a Funds’ NAV on that day. If events that materially affect the value of the Funds’ foreign investments occur during such period, the investments will be valued at their fair value as described above.
 
    Foreign securities held by the Funds may be traded on days and at times when the NYSE is closed.
Accordingly, the NAV of the Funds may be significantly affected on days when shareholders have no access to the Funds. For valuation purposes, quotations of foreign portfolio securities, other assets and liabilities,

and forward contracts stated in foreign currency are translated into U.S.–dollar equivalents at the prevailing market rates.
At June 30, 2005, Moulin Global Eyecare was marked illiquid by the Funds’ Valuation Committee, as it is no longer available to be sold on an exchange. At June 30, 2005, the security’s market value was also marked down to 0.05 Hong Kong dollars (HKD) as approved by the Board of Trustees reflecting, in good faith efforts, its fair value. At June 30, 2005, a price of 0.05 HKD, corresponded to market values of $104,658 in the Pacific Tiger Fund and $46,274 in the China Fund.
B.   FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: The Funds may engage in forward foreign currency exchange contracts for hedging a specific transaction in which the currency is denominated as deemed appropriate by the Advisor. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate and are marked-to-market daily. The change in market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
 
    The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Funds’ portfolio securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency exchange contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Funds could be exposed to risks if the counterparts to the contract are unable to meet the terms of their contracts.
 
C.   RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FOREIGN SECURITIES: Investments by the Funds in the securities of foreign issuers may involve investment risks different from those of U.S. issuers including possible political or economic instability of the country of the issuer, the difficulty in predicting international trade patterns, the possibility of currency exchange controls, the possible imposition of foreign withholding tax on the interest income payable on such instruments, the possible establishment of foreign controls, the possible seizure or nationalization of foreign deposits or assets, or the adoption of other foreign government restrictions that might adversely affect the foreign securities held by the Funds. Foreign securities may also be subject to greater fluctuations in price than securities of domestic corporations or the U.S. government.
 
D.   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the Funds to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. The Funds have met the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies for the period ended June 30, 2005. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Income and capital gains of the Funds are determined in accordance with both tax regulations and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Such treatment may result in temporary and permanent differences between tax basis earnings and earnings reported for financial statement purposes. These reclassifications, which have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds, are primarily attributable to certain differences in computation of distributable income and capital gains under federal tax rules versus accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the use of the tax accounting practice known as equalization.
 
    Under current tax law, capital and currency losses realized after October 31 and prior to the Funds’ fiscal year end may be deferred as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Post October losses at fiscal year end December 31, 2004 were as follows:

Aggregate unrealized appreciation and depreciation on a federal tax basis are disclosed in the Statements of Investments. The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and passive foreign investment company (PFIC) mark-to-market adjustments.
E.   DETERMINATION OF GAINS OR LOSSES ON SALES OF SECURITIES: Gains or losses on the sale of securities are determined on the identified cost basis.
 
F.   ORGANIZATION COSTS: Organization costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over one year from each Fund’s respective commencement of operations. In the event that any of the initial shares are redeemed during the period of amortization of the Fund’s organization costs, the redemption proceeds will be reduced by any such unamortized organization costs in the same proportion as the number of shares being redeemed bears to the number of those shares outstanding at the time of redemption.
 
G.   DISTRIBUTION TO SHAREHOLDERS: It is the policy of Matthews Asian Growth and Income Fund to distribute net investment income on a semi-annual basis and capital gains, if any, annually. Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund, Matthews Korea Fund, Matthews China Fund, Matthews Japan Fund, Matthews Asian Technology Fund, and Matthews Asia Pacific Fund distribute net investment income and capital gains, if any, annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Net investment losses may not be utilized to offset net investment income in future periods for tax purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The Funds assess a redemption fee of 2.00% of the total redemption proceeds if you sell or exchange your shares within 90 calendar days after purchasing them. The redemption fee is paid directly to the Funds and is designed to discourage frequent short-term trading and to offset transaction costs associated with such trading of Fund shares. For purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies, the shares that have been held longest will be redeemed first. The redemption fee does not apply to redemptions of shares held in certain omnibus accounts and retirement plans that cannot currently implement the redemption fee. While these exceptions exist, the Funds are not accepting any new accounts which cannot implement the redemption fee. In addition, the Funds are actively discussing a schedule for implementation of the fee with these providers. For more information on this policy, please see the Funds’ prospectus.
The redemption fees returned to the assets of the Funds were as follows:

2.   INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
    The Advisor, a registered investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, provides the Funds with investment management services. As compensation for these services, the Advisor charges the Funds an annual investment management fee payable at the end of each calendar month based on each Fund’s respective average daily net asset value for the month. Beginning September 1, 2004, the fee is charged at a rate of 0.75% of average daily net assets if assets in the Matthews Asian Funds complex (the “complex”) are up to $2 billion. The rate is reduced to 0.70% of average daily net assets if assets in the complex are between $2 billion and $5 billion, and reduced to 0.65% of average daily net assets if assets in the complex are over $5 billion. Additionally, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive its fees by 0.0166% of average daily net assets if assets in the complex are between $3 billion and $4 billion. The voluntary waiver increases to 0.0333% of average daily net assets if assets in the complex are between $4 billion and $5 billion.
 
    Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are also officers and directors of the Advisor. All officers serve without direct compensation from the Funds. The Funds paid the Independent Trustees $37,500 in aggregate for regular compensation during the six-month period ended June 30, 2005; no special compensation was paid during this period.

The investment advisory agreements provide that any reductions made by the Advisor in its fees, in the event a Fund’s expenses exceed the voluntary expense limitation, are subject to reimbursements by such Fund within the following three years provided that such Fund is able to effect such reimbursements and remain in compliance with applicable expense limitations. The Funds had no expenses available for recoupment by the Advisor at June 30, 2005. There were no fees waived by the Advisor that were subject to reimbursement during the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.
The Funds have an administration and shareholder servicing agreement, pursuant to which, the Funds reimburse the Advisor for administration and shareholder servicing activities based on each Fund’s average daily net assets. The fee is charged at a rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets if assets in the complex are up to $2 billion. The rate is reduced to 0.20% of average daily net assets if assets in the complex between $2 billion and $5 billion, and reduced to 0.15% of average daily net assets if assets in the complex are over $5 billion. Additionally, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive its fees by 0.0166% of average daily net assets if assets in the complex are between $3 billion and $4 billion. The voluntary waiver increases to 0.0333% of average daily net assets if assets in the complex are between $4 billion and $5 billion.
Fees charged and waived under the administration and shareholder servicing agreement for the period ended June 30, 2005, were as follows:
