We are likely living in a world of greater uncertainty and volatility than in the past. However, this does not necessarily mean that strategies to deal with that uncertainty are unclear.

Message to Shareholders
from the Investment Advisor

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Sustainability has been the watchword for global economic markets so far as countries, businesses and stock prices all struggle to maintain the momentum in growth that has been built up since the financial crisis began. In addition, markets have been hit by the question: How long can this go on? These concerns have been leveled at U.S. unemployment, Chinese property markets, Asia's inflation and European debt. The question is well put. And given the context in which we are all seeing things these days—the aftermath of the greatest global financial crisis since the Great Depression—people seem naturally disposed toward extreme answers to that question. That is, people want to hear that either everything is all right or that the next crisis is imminent. I suspect that the best answer to such questions is rather ambiguous, for it is not at all clear that we have either emerged from the last crisis or already sown the seeds of the next crisis. We are likely living in a world of greater uncertainty and volatility than in the past. However, this does not necessarily mean that strategies to deal with that uncertainty are unclear.

Why is the world likely to be more volatile? One of the most powerful balancing forces in the economy is broken. Interest rates in the U.S., Japan and Europe have fallen about as far as they can go. Demand shocks will not be so easily absorbed by central bank monetary policies and low rates of nominal GDP growth, which is real growth plus inflation, are comparatively low. So smaller shocks are needed to push economies back into recession. Household debt is high in many of the large consumer-driven economies, and each shock to demand is greeted by renewed attempts to pay down debt. But one's savings are another's "spendings." This means one person's attempt to shore up his own finances may worsen another's income. In addition, each shock puts more people on the unemployed registers, hurting the development of experience and skills in the economy. Each time the economy recovers, it does so incompletely, leaving scars of idle capacity and missed opportunities. How sustainable can growth be in a world in which small random shocks to growth will lead to large policy responses that may themselves be quickly withdrawn?

This has implications for our markets in Asia, too. Given fixed exchange rates, money supply may be more volatile and cycles in prices for goods and assets could be more abrupt. Regional policymakers will need to deal with this, and we have said before that this may mean capital controls or currency appreciation. Within markets, too, however, there will be effects as sectors that are more cyclical in nature, more sensitive to money supply or more directly affected by U.S. and European demand could see shorter, more abrupt cycles. These would include the materials and export sectors. This has been the story of the past few months, and particularly of the year to date. At the start of the year, commodity stocks were rallying sharply. Many of our Funds thus underperformed during this period as this is a sector that we have tended to invest in very lightly. The sector's inherent cyclicality coupled with the difficulty for management and businesses to add value through the cycle means that success is more about timing the commodity cycle correctly rather than identifying the best businesses to own. However, as monetary policy in Western economies tightened and governments turned their attention to cutting deficits and debt burdens, the sector promptly fell back. Our Funds, on the whole, enjoyed far better relative performance during the second quarter than they did the first.

2 MATTHEWS ASIA FUNDS

If I am correct in my analysis of the macroeconomic environment, then these abrupt cycles are likely to continue. In the face of this, how will we implement our investment philosophy? By staying true to our beliefs. I think that many people will either be sucked into trying to time these cycles or tricked into mistaking short-term volatility for the start of a long-term trend. Our technique has been to focus on the sustainability of businesses. Sustainability can be due to a company's ability to raise prices; however, such ability often stems from the nature of a firm's products or services. We prefer to see products and services bought or used repeatedly by households on a regular basis, rather than during short-term fads. We also look to management teams that are trying to steer their companies on a course of steady growth funded from cash flow, in preference over businesses that rely on external financing. These companies are likely to be able to prosper even if "normal" rates of inflation rise in the future. But they are less likely to enjoy (or suffer from) the kinds of price cycles that we have witnessed in some commodities. This means that our portfolios, whilst being less volatile in absolute terms, may exhibit more volatility in performance relative to benchmarks. We have never been overly concerned with managing short-term volatility relative to an index and we are not inclined to change now.

The companies that are likely to weather inflationary cycles are those that can better manage input costs and more easily raise output prices. There are industries that find this relatively easy to do—consumer-facing businesses with brand power; monopolistic business; those with less exposure to regulators and policymakers' price controls; and those businesses that dominate hiring in any sector of the labor market. Businesses that can manage their capital commitments and are able to drive production-related efficiencies, which raise margins and competitiveness, are far better-placed to thrive. These are just some of the things we look for in identifying businesses that can achieve through-the-cycle growth, withstand acute periods of inflation and weather the downturns. It is a strategic approach to managing the cycle using stock selection rather than a tactical approach using sector allocation.

This being our approach, one should not expect an increase in cyclical volatility or a shortening of cycles to drive higher levels of turnover in our portfolios. We are neither inclined to trade the commodity cycle, nor to change the kinds of businesses we seek. It can be frustrating at times, during such cycles, and one may be tempted to try to follow the momentum of prices. However, for us to do so would be to turn our backs on our strategy. We are not expert in second guessing policymakers (known as "Fed-watching") or forecasting market sentiment. What we do enjoy doing and where we think we have a greater chance of success is in deciding which businesses and management teams are best-suited to preserve and grow clients' capital over the long run.

It is a pleasure to continue to serve as your investment advisor.

Portfolio Manager Commentary

For the first half of 2011, the Matthews Asian Growth and Income Fund (Investor Class) gained 1.62% and 1.72% (Institutional Class), outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan Index, which returned 1.30%. For the quarter ended June 30, the Fund rose 1.51% (Investor Class) and 1.61% (Institutional Class), while its benchmark returned 0.09%. While the quarter was a rocky one, it is notable that the Fund's relative outperformance was also marked by significantly lower volatility.

During the quarter, the portfolio's sector allocations contributed significantly to its relative performance. Holdings in the consumer staples and discretionary sectors, as well as utilities and telecommunications, were the main contributors to performance. Detractors to performance were the more cyclical sectors—which are not a focus of the Fund—such as information technology, energy and materials.

Overall, the Fund's sector exposures changed little over the quarter. We made slight adjustments to provide a better risk-reward return, with a view to increasing downside protection. We increased our allocation to an Indonesian gas utility at what were judged reasonable valuations, given a relatively high growth profile for a utility. Additionally, one of the Fund's more cyclical holdings was trimmed given its recent strong performance and focus on offshore oil drilling rigs and services. These changes were very marginal in nature compared to a more significant change in the portfolio's financials holdings. We exited the Fund's position in Hang Seng Bank in favor of a more conservative and more attractively valued Singapore-focused bank, United Overseas Bank. These changes were motivated in part by investors' excitement over the reminbi (RMB) deposit business in Hong Kong and potential long-term implications for RMB convertibility, relative to what we see as the unfavorable economics of Hong Kong banks taking RMB deposits with no profitable way to lend on that RMB.

We also initiated a position in a regional investment bank, which has been out of favor for the past 18 months. While we recognize that the bank is restructuring, we feel the balance sheet risks have decreased significantly, and we have been able to purchase shares at close to book value. In addition, the company is expected to pay a sizeable dividend of 6%, offering some valuation protection while the business seeks new growth opportunities. In other changes to the portfolio's financials holdings, we have reduced our exposure to a Hong Kong property-related convertible bond and added to a Singapore-based industrial real estate investment trust (REIT). The yield on the convertible bond is negative as it is highly equity sensitive in a market that is showing some signs of overheating; on the contrary, the REIT was added in a more reasonable market environment at a yield close to 7%.

We continue to seek securities that—due to the underlying business franchise, balance sheet, valuation or income stream—provide a degree of downside mitigation with some upside participation in the growth of the region. As we have recently noted, it has become more challenging of late to find such risk-return tradeoffs via convertible bonds. While this is in part due to a limited universe, convertible bond valuations have been a greater factor. We continue to constantly monitor the convertible bond universe for potential candidates to add to the portfolio. However, at this

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

point, the Fund's overall allocation to convertibles—absent better valuations and/or increased issuance—is unlikely to rise and may even decline further as some issues mature later in the year.

The other area that investors have focused on this quarter is the Chinese financial sector. It is worth restating that the Fund still remains very lightly positioned here. Despite some good dividend yields, we are avoiding altogether the Chinese banking sector as we remain skeptical about loan quality and the possibility of future capital raisings. The Fund's direct exposure to China's financial sector is largely through China Pacific Insurance, a property and casualty insurer, which has seen strong growth in the auto insurance sector and been benefiting from subdued competition from smaller competitors. During the quarter, this stock performed better than the majority of Chinese banks, and in-line with the higher-quality Chinese banks. We do, however, run the risk of underperformance relative to the benchmark should our concerns surrounding the banking sector in China prove unfounded. Nevertheless, given our understanding of the sector and how the stocks have recently behaved, we expect the portfolio to find some insulation against downside shocks. Given the long-term strategic goals we have set for the Fund, we are comfortable with that positioning. As always, we thank you for your ongoing support.

Matthews Asia Dividend Fund

Portfolio Manager Commentary

For the first half of 2011, the Matthews Asia Dividend Fund gained 1.20% (Investor Class) and 1.21% (Institutional Class), outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI All Country Asia Pacific Index, which declined –0.61%. For the quarter ended June 30, the Fund rose 1.60% (Investor Class) and 1.64% (Institutional Class), while its benchmark gained 0.03 %. In June, the Fund distributed a quarterly dividend of 11.32 cents per share (Investor Class) and 11.85 cents per share (Institutional Class), bringing its total year-to-date income distribution to 21.63 cents per share for the Investor Class and 22.64 cents per share for the Institutional Class.

During the past few months, investors have once again been reminded that as minority shareholders, we have to take great care in evaluating not just the growth prospects of a company, but also the integrity of management as it relates to corporate governance and financial reporting. Several companies of Chinese origin were exposed as having issues related to lapses in corporate governance, resulting in a broader sell-off in some Chinese smaller-capitalization companies.

Equity investors supply capital to companies seeking an additional source of long-term funding to supplement bank loans or bonds. In return for putting capital at risk, shareholders become the owners of the company and, as owners, should participate in the growth of the business. While this may be true in theory, competing interests among majority and minority shareholders as well as management—mixed with the asymmetry in information between insiders and outsiders—may result in minority shareholders not fully participating in the growth of the business and, therefore, not being adequately compensated for the risk taken. In Asian companies there is often a dominant majority shareholder, and management teams are often hired by or related to the majority shareholder, increasing the risk of lapses in corporate governance.

Corporate governance is one of the most challenging aspects of company analysis due to its intangible nature, but the capital lost by investing in a fraudulent company is very real and tangible. As minority investors with less-than-perfect information, it is only sensible to invest in ways that may reduce this risk. Investing in companies with track records of paying dividends is one such way. A dividend payment aligns the interests of majority and minority shareholders, since the major shareholder acknowledges the need to compensate minority shareholders in accordance with their ownership. From a financial reporting perspective, a company is more likely to have generated its reported earnings if it pays out a large proportion as dividends, and in a world of imperfect information, dividends can act as a signal of corporate governance. Of about 20 U.S.-listed reverse merger companies of Chinese origin embroiled in recent corporate governance issues, none paid a dividend. This is not to say that dividend-paying companies have not been fraudulent in the past, but history seems to indicate that it is less prevalent. The dividend payment in itself, therefore, is an important tool when assessing the strength of a company's financial reporting and corporate governance.

The Fund's Taiwanese holdings were the main contributors to performance during the first half of 2011. This was mainly a result of strong performance by Taiwan Hon Chuan Enterprise, a packaging and bottling company servicing the beverage industry in China and the rest of Asia. The company has been leveraging its dominant market share in Taiwan to

expand its beverage packaging business in mainland China. The firm's customer base spans the major international beverage companies as well as leading domestic brands. After investing in establishing its bottling/manufacturing infrastructure on the mainland, Taiwan Hon Chuan is at the stage where it can accelerate its China expansion and improve the profitability of its operations. We believe the company is well-positioned to capture the long-term growth of beverage consumption in China, which will enable the company in turn to grow its dividends over time.

Esprit Holdings, a Hong Kong-based mid-end fashion retailer, detracted most from performance year-to-date. The underperformance became particularly pronounced during the second quarter as worries over the future of the euro and financial health of Europe in general escalated. While the company's focus has been on building out its Chinese retail footprint, it still relies on Europe for about 80% of sales. This dependency on European sales, alongside an ongoing restructuring of the business, has resulted in investors taking a dim view of the stock. As a result the share price is at levels last seen in early 2004, even though the company generated twice the earnings in 2010 compared to 2004. We continue to be invested with Esprit under the premise it will achieve further traction in China, while reinvigorating its brand and restructuring its European business.

The first half of 2011 has been a tumultuous one, ranging from natural disasters, political uprisings, concerns over debt in the U.S. and Europe and ongoing concerns of both inflationary pressures and the possibility of a severe slowdown in China's economic growth. In such a world, it seems prudent as long-term investors to decrease the risk to long-term total returns by receiving a portion of returns via dividends.

There is no guarantee that a company will pay or continue to increase dividends.

Matthews China Dividend Fund

Portfolio Manager Commentary

For the first half of 2011, the Matthews China Dividend Fund gained 1.68% (Investor Class) and 1.74% (Institutional Class), while its benchmark, the MSCI China Index, rose 1.09%. For the quarter ended June 30, the Fund gained 2.77% (Investor Class) and 2.76% (Institutional Class), and the benchmark declined –1.75%. In June, the Fund distributed a semi-annual dividend of 14.94 cents per share for the Investor Class and 16.71 cents per share for the Institutional Class.

Investors have over the years been attracted to Chinese companies because of their potential for faster earnings growth. While many Chinese companies are led by capable management teams that have delivered impressive rates of growth, there have been some that are but "stories," with little real substance. During the first half of 2011, issues related to corporate governance of certain companies were added to existing worries over the country's inflation and tightening measures implemented by the central government.

Corporate governance is one of the most challenging aspects of company analysis due to its intangible nature. However, the capital-destroying outcome of investing in companies with corporate governance issues is very tangible. Over the past few months, there were about 20 Chinese companies listed in the U.S. via reverse mergers that became embroiled in corporate governance-related issues connected to the quality of financial reporting—often ending with their delisting. In a reverse merger, a privately held firm acquires and merges with a company that is already listed. By doing so, the private company can forego the time consuming and expensive listing process. Unfortunately, they will also not be put under the scrutiny required by an initial public offering. From 2005 to 2007, many small Chinese companies underwent reverse mergers as investors clamored for exposure to China, with little regard for the quality of the underlying business. The Fund did not own any of the companies implicated in the recent issues.

Minority investors will always have less-than-perfect information. However, bottom-up analysis and investing with dividend-paying companies can improve the overall level of corporate governance of portfolio holdings. The dividend payment aligns majority shareholders with minority shareholders, since the major shareholder acknowledges the need to compensate minorities in accordance with their ownership. From a financial reporting perspective, a company is more likely to have generated the reported earnings if it pays out a significant proportion as dividends. Of the about 20 U.S.-listed reverse merger companies of Chinese origin mentioned above, none paid a dividend. While dividend-paying companies can also be fraudulent, history indicates that it is less prevalent. The dividend payment in itself, therefore, is an important tool when assessing the strength of a company's financial reporting and corporate governance.

Taiwanese companies were the main contributors to performance during the first half of 2011, mainly due to Taiwan Hon Chuan Enterprise, a packaging and bottling company servicing the beverage industry in China and the rest of Asia, and Johnson Health Tech, a manufacturer of gym equipment. Another contributor was Shenzhou International, China's largest vertically integrated knitwear manufacturer. Like other export-oriented companies in China, Shenzhou is facing headwinds from increasing labor costs, an appreciating currency and rising raw material costs. To combat those issues and

Matthews China Dividend Fund

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

maintain its growth, the company has pursued a diversification strategy, emphasizing higher-margin products and, importantly, is expanding its relationship with Chinese apparel brand owners. Additionally, increased automation and a relocation of its production base have helped the company mitigate labor cost pressure. However, the long-term rational for our investment is the firm's goal of increasing its sales in China, both by making products for Chinese brand owners, and eventually under its own brand.

The Fund's expressway businesses all faced challenges during the second quarter and, as a group, were the main detractors to performance year-to-date as investors feared the central government would implement universal tariff reductions. We continue to be invested in expressways on the premise that the owners of expressway assets will stand to benefit from increased car ownership and improved affordability as wages grow over time. Furthermore, these assets can be bought at a significantly higher dividend yield than other consumer-related equities. The Fund is invested in three expressways in various parts of China in an effort to diversify any specific risk facing each individual expressway.

Investing by definition entails taking risk. Due to the relative stability of dividend payments, a dividend-focused strategy may be a sensible way for long-term investors to obtain a substantial component of their long-term total return, which is comprised of income and capital appreciation, with relatively lower risk. Furthermore, being invested with dividend-paying companies may help navigate around some corporate governance pitfalls.

There is no guarantee that a company will pay or continue to increase dividends.

For the first six months of 2011, market performance across countries in the region remained largely flat. Surprisingly, inflationary pressures seemed to neither help commodity-related industries, as expected, nor significantly hamper consumer sectors. During the second quarter, markets around the globe were volatile and Asia faced challenges, including supply chain disruptions caused by the earthquake in Japan and corporate governance issues that arose among some U.S.-listed Chinese companies. While no firm can truly be immune to cases of accounting fraud, we believe we have a strong due diligence process in place to vet management and screen companies for the integrity of their corporate governance. A key criterion is the alignment of a management team's interests with those of its minority shareholders, and we assess this by evaluating a firm's various stakeholders.

The consumer discretionary and health care sectors were the top contributors to Fund performance during the second quarter, while telecommunication services was the worst-performing sector. On a country basis, China and Japan were the Fund's best performers. Meanwhile, Vietnam was the worst-performing market in Asia, and this negatively impacted the portfolio. However, the Fund's bottom-up stock selection helped offset the impact.

On a company basis, top contributors to Fund performance during the second quarter were diverse in terms of both country and sector. These holdings included Gree, a Japanese mobile social networking services operator; Korean automaker Hyundai Motor; and Bank Rakyat Indonesia Persero, one of Indonesia's largest banks. Notably, we saw strong performance in both the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors. Despite concerns over slowing growth and pricing pressures, the region's consumer spending appetite remained healthy in such areas as travel and leisure in Macau, Thailand and China, as well as in auto sales.

Consumer staples firms Tingyi, Asahi Breweries and Indofood CBP Sukses Makmur all performed well during the second quarter, despite high input costs. These companies are dominant players in their respective markets, affording them stronger pricing power compared to their peers. It is this characteristic of strong pricing power that we seek, and which has proven beneficial in such a challenging operating environment.

Taking a look at detractors to Fund performance, holdings in the financials and industrials sectors were among the worst performers. Japanese real estate firm Kenedix and Vietnamese brokerage Saigon Securities detracted from performance. Among the portfolio's industrials holdings that did not perform well were The Japan Steel Works and India's Jain Irrigation Systems. Kenedix and Japan Steel were negatively impacted by the earthquake. Meanwhile, Saigon Securities suffered from a general decline in Vietnam's stock market. Jain Irrigation performed poorly in light of the market's concerns over a new scheme to help finance irrigation systems for small farmers.

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

As always, we aim to diversify our holdings through a broad geographical search for the most compelling companies in Asia, and we have a large and fast-evolving region in which to explore. For example, the portfolio maintains a small exposure to Vietnam, which we initiated about one year ago. While some Vietnamese holdings have recently detracted from Fund performance, we continue to hold these stocks due to their attractive fundamentals and historically low correlation with other Asian markets. We have been researching other "frontier markets" such as Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Laos for some time and will continue to scour these areas for opportunities. Going forward, the ongoing recovery of the U.S. economy is still critical to an improved economic climate for Asia, however, increasing intraregional trade in Asia has somewhat offset the impact of slowing growth in the West.

Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund

Portfolio Manager Commentary

For the first half of 2011, the Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund gained 3.11% (Investor Class) and 3.20% (Institutional Class) outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan Index, which rose 1.30%. For the quarter ended June 30, the Fund gained 4.05% (Investor Class) and 4.09% (Institutional Class), while the benchmark stayed nearly flat at 0.09%. In the past, increased global macroeconomic worries invariably led to some weakness in Asian currencies, but their continued resilience during the period suggests that some currencies may be anchoring around the Chinese renminbi rather than the U.S. dollar. Since 2009, central banks in Asia seem to have reconciled to running slightly stronger currencies to alleviate inflation in their respective economies. While the portfolio does not actively manage currencies, it is worth acknowledging that the impact from foreign exchange-related movements has been somewhat more exaggerated since late last year.

After two successive quarters of underperformance against the benchmark, the portfolio's outperformance in the second quarter was helped by a recovery in many of its consumer and financial sector holdings. These holdings were spread across the region suggesting a lack of country effect in their returns during the quarter. More noticeably, most of these companies were focused on their respective domestic markets—a long-standing focus of the Fund.

By contrast, cyclical sectors, such as energy and materials, gave up some gains from prior months as expectations of a sustainable global recovery began to waver. Asian economies were not completely immune, and experienced a slowdown in the second quarter with exports and industrials bearing the brunt of the moderation. Beyond the tighter monetary environment, other factors contributing to the industrial slowdown were internal to the region as well as country-specific. India, for example, has endured policy paralysis that has delayed infrastructure investments. The paralysis was induced by a wave of governance scandals. However, there are several important distinctions as to why growth in Asia is slowing compared to why growth in the rest of the world is slowing. Most notably, policymakers in Asia have been actively seeking a moderation in growth to combat inflation.

In our conversations with management teams, it is quite apparent that smaller and mid-sized companies are finding it difficult to obtain funding. The impact may be seen, particularly in China, where the availability of capital is constrained not just by cost, but also other administrative measures. With the rising tide of capital and labor costs, and the gradual ebb in capital markets activity, it would not be surprising if parts of the economy were to witness some consolidation in market share. In our view, these risks are still easier to assess than those related to the events unfolding in the Euro zone. We continue to let company-specific risk factors shape our opinion about the industry and macro environment and aspects of portfolio construction.

In speaking with bank executives in China, we do see a dichotomy between reported balance sheets that seem reasonably strong and companies that seem to be raising capital at a hectic clip. From a top-down view, Chinese banks are trading at one of the lowest valuation levels since going public. However, the portfolio's direct exposure to the banking system

Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

in China is restricted to only one bank as we await greater clarity on their exposure to nonperforming loans.

During the quarter, there was some disappointment within the industrials sector. However, consumption-related activity fared surprisingly well. In some instances, this has been due to the formation of newer markets of the sort that is being witnessed in Indonesia, or related to China's rising Internet usage. In other cases, it is the continued growth in household income that is driving domestic demand, including in the health care sector. One portfolio holding, Green Cross, remains a beneficiary of this trend. Within Korea, the use of vaccines has been aided by a pickup in infant vaccinations, and Green Cross' efforts to provide vaccines at more affordable prices. A recent addition to the portfolio, the firm has become a leading vaccine manufacturer after obtaining an important World Bank qualification earlier this year. In many ways, Green Cross represents the portfolio's search for solid companies, and able management teams without fixating on country of origin. Our flexibility in being able to look across the region allows the portfolio the ability to be disciplined and not overpay for sustainable business models.

Looking ahead, we see a period of greater uncertainty particularly for the global economy. A sluggish recovery and political maneuvering may continue to shape monetary and fiscal policies in the Western world. The risk for Asia is that these loose monetary policies may compress the domestic demand cycle into years rather than decades, with the accompanying risk of greater volatility in the capital markets. To that extent, we remain wary of excesses in valuation. Our view remains that investing in high-quality businesses and solid management teams continues to be a good defense against rising volatility, and should provide an attractive proposition for patient, long-term investors.

Matthews China Fund

Portfolio Manager Commentary

For the first half of 2011, the Matthews China Fund declined –0.17% (Investor Class) and –0.10% (Institutional Class), while its benchmark, the MSCI China Index, gained 1.09%. For the quarter ended June 30, the Fund returned 0.93% (Investor and Institutional Class), while the benchmark declined –1.75%.

During the second quarter, China's growing inflation, along with the government's efforts to fight it, continued to be a major focus. The country's consumer price index (CPI) rose to 5.5% in May and 6.4% in June—much higher than the government target of 4% for the entire year. The rapid increase in CPI is due mostly to the sharp increase in food-related items. To temper inflation, Chinese authorities continued to roll out tightening measures—bank reserve ratios were raised three times during the quarter, reaching a record 21.5%, and interest rates were raised three times during the first half of 2011. Meanwhile, loan growth from major state-owned banks has slowed, and the government continues to use administrative tools to dampen pricing for some food-related items. Market movements during the second quarter were quite volatile as investor sentiment vacillated between inflationary concerns and optimism stemming from strong corporate profit growth.

Chinese equities were also negatively affected following reports of fraud among some U.S.-listed Chinese companies. The firms involved were largely listed via reverse mergers, but some under scrutiny have also involved companies listed through initial public offerings. News of the scandals also subsequently impacted some Hong Kong-listed stocks. The Fund had no exposure to the companies under investigation. We pursue an on-the-ground fundamental research approach and seek solid companies with proven track records and strong management teams. While there may be some questionable companies in China, we believe that overall management quality and corporate governance of Chinese firms have generally been improving.

After underperforming its benchmark in the first quarter, the Fund outperformed the Index during the second quarter, largely due to holdings in the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors. These are key areas of focus for the Fund. We aim to find leaders in these consumer sectors and many of these firms are emerging on top following recent industry consolidation, and growing even more dominant in this inflationary environment. Tingyi, a long-term Fund holding, is a good example. In addition to being China's largest instant noodle maker, Tingyi is also a major beverage producer, and the company has benefited from China's booming consumption and per capita income growth. Over the years, Tingyi has demonstrated stringent cost controls as well as strong marketing and research and development capacities. To deal with rising prices for raw materials such as flour and palm oil, the company boosted its high-end product sales and raised the efficiency of its production and distribution channels. This has successfully alleviated raw material pricing pressure. In fact, Tingyi is one of the few consumer staples companies to achieve a stable margin in this current environment.

The Fund's relative underweight in the financials sector also helped performance. Chinese banks have been under pressure as investor concerns grew over the potential deterioration in loan quality. The Fund does maintain some exposure to banks and while we are sensitive to the risks

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

associated with nonperforming loans, we believe that the issue remains generally under control.

The Fund's information technology holdings detracted from Fund performance during the second quarter as the sector declined after outperforming significantly during the first quarter. In recent months, we have trimmed our exposure to the sector holdings whose valuations had become expensive.

Looking forward, there are still uncertainties in the Chinese economy. These include issues relating to higher inflation, an overheating property market and the quality of banks. We believe that following the government's aggressive tightening measures, China's economy will gradually achieve a soft landing, with a mild slowdown in growth and moderating inflation. We believe China's most recent interest rate increase in early July may be nearing the end of the policy tightening cycle.

We continue to pursue a long-term investment approach, focusing on domestic consumption in China. While increased inflation and labor costs in the current economic environment are dominant topics, we are also seeing income growth and spending rising rapidly. This continues to benefit companies in consumer and service-oriented sectors. With the MSCI China Index reaching historically lower average valuation levels, we continue to find many investment opportunities for the long-term investor and thank you for your ongoing support.

Matthews India Fund

Portfolio Manager Commentary

For the first half of 2011, the Matthews India Fund declined by –4.70% (Investor Class) and –4.61% (Institutional Class), compared to its benchmark, the Bombay Stock Exchange 100 Index, which fell –7.19%. For the quarter ended June 30, the Fund returned 0.59% (Investor Class) and 0.64% (Institutional Class), while its benchmark declined –2.22%.

Over the past few quarters, Indian equity markets have consistently underperformed many Asian peers, reflecting investor concerns over persistently high inflation, a tepid earnings outlook and an uncertain fiscal environment. However, in a reversal of sorts, smaller and mid-capitalization stocks outperformed their larger-cap peers in the second quarter largely due to the weakness in a key index heavyweight, Reliance Industries, the largest market cap firm in India. In our view, growing uncertainties over the company's cash flow deployment and its likely entry into newer business areas that are fairly competitive have been a drag on the stock. The Fund has carried a much smaller exposure to Reliance with a view that cheap valuations are not enough to warrant a higher weighting.

The biggest macroeconomic concern has been recent high inflation, which has prompted India's central bank to raise policy rates twice during the quarter. In addition, the bank has raised the regulated savings account rate by 50 basis points (0.50%) to 4%. Together, these factors have contributed to the rise in funding costs for the private sector. Not surprisingly, corporate earnings have been weak and the prospect of further margin erosion may be expected. While margins have come down across the board, smaller and mid-cap companies have generally seen more margin contraction than their larger peers.

Capital-intensive industries with leveraged balance sheets and high sensitivity to raw material prices face the challenging prospect of rising input costs, and a regulatory environment that is increasingly complicated due to a spate of governance-related issues that have affected government decision making. This has particularly impacted the execution of projects in sectors such as infrastructure that have many government touch points, and which require a number of official approvals and clearances from various corners. The portfolio has carried a significant allocation to the broadly defined industrials sector, which was the biggest detractor from performance during the second quarter.

It is our view that a sustained pickup in investment spending, from both the government and the private sector, will be necessary to maintain India's growth trajectory. Barring one holding, the Fund's exposure to the industrials sector is through a combination of smaller to mid-sized companies that are private enterprises with a clear focus on profitability and cash flow. Our one public sector holding, Container Corporation, is a key provider of logistics and supply chain-related services, particularly between western and northern India. The stock was one of the worstperforming holdings as sluggish investment activity in the country has hurt volume growth while the firm's costs continue to rise due to an unfavorable policy which subsidizes consumers at the expense of corporations in India. Nonetheless, we remain attracted to Container Corporation's dominant rail infrastructure, which will be difficult and expensive for another company to replicate.

Matthews India Fund

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

The portfolio's long-standing overweight in the consumer and health care sectors helped relative performance in the second quarter as the steady nature of these businesses, and resilient consumer demand attracted investor attention. It has been encouraging to see robust demand beyond India's metropolitan cities likely helped by elevated prices of agricultural products. The Fund's outperformance was also due to certain security-specific factors within the materials sector, in which the portfolio has gained exposure through convertible issues of metal companies and holdings with pricing power and good distribution reach. The performance of the Fund's convertible holdings has been mixed but the tactical approach of seeking shelter within foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs) has been helpful in mitigating volatility over recent quarters.

With valuations starting to look more reasonable, the Fund will seek to take advantage of this weakness, particularly in the small to mid-size segment of the equity market via FCCBs. While inflation remains a challenge, it is our view that the current slowdown in economic activity will alleviate some inflationary pressures. Furthermore, there are some encouraging signs that following a phase of policy paralysis, the government is willing to make some bold decisions that may be painful near term, but eventually address the country's persistent fiscal deficit and inadequate infrastructure. In our view, these decisions, combined with the ebb and flow in global risk appetite, may lead to volatility in India's equity markets but should be viewed as opportunities for long-term investors.

Matthews Japan Fund

Portfolio Manager Commentary

For the first half of 2011, the Matthews Japan Fund returned 1.04% (Investor Class) and 0.96% (Institutional Class) while its benchmark, the MSCI Japan Index, declined –4.68%. For the quarter ended June 30, the Fund rose 3.77% (Investor Class) and 3.60% (Institutional Class), while the benchmark stayed nearly flat at 0.18%.

Considering the devastating impacts of the natural disasters in March, the Japanese market performed quite well during the second quarter. One of the biggest surprises was the speed with which the country has been able to restore production: auto production in Japan was almost fully restored by the end of the second quarter, a few months earlier than expected. The outlook for corporate earnings has also been notably strong despite the fact that about 11% of listed companies did not provide earnings guidance for the 2011 fiscal year. The achievements are even more remarkable given the challenges that Japanese companies continue to face: ongoing power shortages, rising input costs and a very strong currency regime.

Many Japanese firms are faced with rising energy costs—resulting from the switch from low-cost nuclear energy to higher-cost thermo energy—following the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant. Compounding this challenging environment, Japanese authorities may also scrap a widely expected corporate tax rate reduction amid a rising fiscal deficit. One major detractor to performance during the first half of the year was The Japan Steel Works, which performed poorly after the nuclear disaster raised concerns for future growth prospects in Japan Steel's mainstay nuclear component business. By sector, financials detracted the most from Fund performance for the first half of the year. Namely, real estate asset manager Kenedix was the worst performer during the first half of the year as it suffered from weak investor sentiment following the earthquake.

During the second quarter, the portfolio's continued avoidance of any holdings in the utilities sector was key to its outperformance against the benchmark, which had a 4.2% weighting in the sector. Overall, however, Fund performance was due largely to our bottom-up stock selection. The top two consumer discretionary holdings were Fast Retailing and Nissan Motor. Nissan showed the fastest recovery among Japanese automakers due to its strong internal risk management process. Fast Retailing, Asia's largest retail apparel chain operator, benefited from the ongoing popularity of its UNIQLO-branded line of casual clothing. Meanwhile, some real estate-related holdings were among the biggest detractors to Fund performance.

Other sectors contributing to performance were holdings in the information technology, health care and consumer discretionary sectors. Interestingly, strong performance came from several small-capitalization names that either build or improve infrastructure in different industries. GMO Payment Gateway, Gree, Kakaku.com—all IT sector holdings—build online infrastructure related to mobile gaming platforms and electronic payment processing. GMO Payment Gateway and Gree are both "newly emerging" firms, which listed within the last five years and have shown strong growth. Gree is one of the world's most profitable and fastest-growing social networking service providers. It has been expanding its user base through its successful mobile game platform, and is currently

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

targeting a U.S. expansion. GMO Payment Gateway, a payment processing services firm, is another profitable company that has been increasing its Japanese user base. Credit card penetration in Japan is still quite low, and the firm is benefiting from the rise of e-commerce transactions that are the driving force behind this "e-money" business.

Among the portfolio's health care sector holdings, Ship Healthcare Holdings, was the largest contributor to performance. The firm provides hospital management services, including diagnostic report interpretation and medical logistics systems. Ship Healthcare builds medical-related infrastructure, and maintains strong expertise in designing hospital facilities. The firm has been benefiting from increased demand in hospital upgrades sparked by Japan's rapidly aging population.

For the first time in its history, the Fund took a position in a Hong Kong-based Chinese company, EVA Precision Industrial Holdings. Though EVA is not a Japanese company, approximately 70% of its revenues are generated from Japan as its customer base consists of major Japanese office equipment companies, such as Canon. The company makes low-cost metal and plastic die molds for many office equipment components. In our view, EVA is a major beneficiary of the Japanese outsourcing trend, and offers exposure to the country's leading office equipment manufacturers, which still comprise a large segment of business in Japan.

Looking forward, we maintain an optimistic view of Japan's earnings outlook despite the yen's current strength. Just as auto production recovered faster-than-expected, we may also see an accelerated recovery in other industries. We remain sensitive to the ongoing challenges posed by continuing power shortages in the country; however, we believe long-term fundamentals are still strong for select Japanese firms.

Matthews Korea Fund

Portfolio Manager Commentary

For the first half of 2011, the Matthews Korea Fund gained 8.37% (Investor Class) and 8.56% (Institutional Class) while its benchmark, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index, returned 8.36%. For the quarter ended June 30, the Fund gained 3.73% (Investor Class) and 3.91% (Institutional Class) while the benchmark returned 2.50%.

After a volatile first quarter impacted by upheavals in the Middle East and a devastating earthquake and nuclear crisis in Japan, Korean equity markets remained mostly flat during the second quarter. Most gains during the first half of the year resulted from a strengthened Korean currency.

Ramifications from Japan's earthquake continued to have a mixed effect on Korean firms. While some technology companies were negatively impacted by the global supply chain disruption, other component companies benefited as global companies continued to diversify their supplier base. In particular, Korean auto makers benefited as Japanese auto production levels dropped following the earthquake and subsequent power shortages.

Korean exporters continued to perform well despite the stronger won. The top three contributors to Fund performance during the first half of the year were all Hyundai Motor Group companies: Kia Motors was the largest contributor followed by Hyundai Mobis, an auto parts and component supplier, and Hyundai Motor. During the second quarter, Hyundai Motor Group captured 10% of U.S. auto market share for the first time in the firm's history. Hyundai Motor Group showed remarkable growth after the global financial crisis as consumers around the world sought high-quality products at more reasonable price points. The shift in consumer behavior fortuitously coincided with the roll out of Hyundai's new models. Kia Motors—relatively unknown to most markets outside Korea—was the biggest contributor to Fund performance. Improvements made with new models helped Kia Motors gain significant market share in both domestic and global markets. Hyundai Mobis, which had primarily supplied parts to Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors, has been diversifying its client base more recently, with expansion into Europe and the U.S. Hyundai Mobis has been among the firms to benefit as automakers expand their base of suppliers outside of Japan.

On a sector basis, consumer discretionary holdings performed well, supported by the performance of Korea's automakers. Meanwhile, information technology holdings were the worst performers and Samsung Electronics was the largest detractor from Fund performance. The firm underperformed due to a weakened outlook for the semiconductor industry as a result of lower demand for PCs. However, during the quarter, Samsung Electronics was still able to maintain its top global position in both its memory and liquid crystal display divisions. Additionally, with its new handsets, Samsung is gaining momentum in the smartphone industry. Moreover, the firm is also leading in the new display technology, AMOLED, and currently has more than a 90% market share.

Korea's currency continued to recover from the low it achieved during the global financial crisis. During the quarter, the won went below 1,100 won against the U.S. dollar for first time since August 2008. Despite its gains, the won's value is still well below its pre-crisis level. Korean exporters are expected to remain competitive as long as the won remains above the

Performance for the Institutional Class shares prior to its inception is based on the performance of the Investor Class. The Institutional and Investor Classes would have substantially similar returns because the shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities and the annual returns would only differ to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses.

Matthews Korea Fund

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

1,000 level. However, a rapid appreciation over the short term may negatively impact Korea exporters.

No further improvements between North and South Korean relations were made during the first half of the year. North Korean leaders visited China seeking economic assistance and announced a joint economic partnership plan. We see little impact from this event and the uncertainty surrounding North Korea remains a key risk facing South Korea.

Korean financial reporting standards have been improving among companies with assets of more than approximately US$2 billion, which will now be required to comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. We expect overall transparency to improve with this new policy.

Overall, we remain positive over Korea's long-term growth prospects and the global competitiveness of Korean firms. We continue to focus on companies that are well-positioned to benefit from Korea's long-term developments and seek to invest in high-quality, globally competitive companies.

Matthews Asia Small Companies Fund

Portfolio Manager Commentary

For the first half of 2011, the Matthews Asia Small Companies Fund gained 2.65%, outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan Small Cap Index, which lost –3.29%. For the quarter ended June 30, the Fund rose 5.18%, while its benchmark fell –0.61%.

During the second quarter of the year, concerns surrounding Europe's sovereign debt issues sent global markets on a roller coaster ride. The circumstances were much like those of the second quarter last year when investors again grew risk averse causing sell-offs in equity markets. In addition, there was growing unease among investors related to China's economic health, including factors such as monetary tightening, inflation, local government solvency and a series of corporate scandals involving Chinese companies listed in the U.S. via reverse mergers. Looking at the rest of the region, inflation became an increasingly sensitive issue in such countries as India, Thailand and Malaysia while inflation figures in Indonesia peaked as food pricing pressure abated.

While headline economic data and a moderation in growth might highlight the challenges and headwinds facing Asian economies, Fund performance in both the first and second quarters was driven primarily by our bottom-up stock picking approach. As we have previously stated, our focus on high-quality, domestically oriented companies has been a crucial factor in Fund performance. On a country basis, a variety of holdings in South Korea, Malaysia and Indonesia were the top contributors during the first half of 2011.

Dongbu Insurance, one of Korea's leading non-life insurance companies, was among the top contributors during this period. Korea's non-life insurance segment has shown evidence of better corporate governance with profit-focused management teams when compared to the country's other financial segments such as commercial banking or life insurance. In addition, the secular growth in demand for long-term care products offers a long-term investment case for non-life insurance firms. Not surprisingly, given concerns over China's macroeconomic health, the Fund's Chinese holdings were the largest detractors from performance during the second quarter. This highlights the importance of staying diversified across countries, which remains a part of our approach.

Rather than focusing on macroeconomic issues, we continued to assess our investment thesis related to existing holdings and to scout for better investment opportunities. In fact, during the quarter, the Fund very actively exited several holdings to make room for more attractive alternatives. We sold off Thai property developer Quality Houses, which proved to be a disappointment when it failed to grow and remain competitive. This firm has lagged its peers in an evolving market and has not been able to deliver on small, affordable condominiums in a well-paced manner and hence lost its growth momentum. Usha Martin, an Indian manufacturer of specialty steel wire products, has not performed up to our expectations in terms of ongoing operation execution. The company did not deliver on the margin expansion that it had projected.

On a brighter note, the portfolio has added some compelling new holdings, including new positions in Dah Chong Hong in Hong Kong and AKR Corporindo in Indonesia. Both companies are distribution businesses with long operational track records. Dah Chong Hong is Hong Kong's dominant distributor of automobiles and food products. Its long-term

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

strategy is to replicate its franchise in mainland China, and we believe that its management team possesses the expertise to implement such plans. AKR Corporindo is Indonesia's largest distributor of chemical products. In our view, the company is well-positioned to supply the raw materials needed for the production of consumer products. It is estimated that the demand for these chemical products in Indonesia is set to grow at 15% to 20% annually as domestic consumption outpaces GDP growth.

Looking ahead, the global economic recovery may be slow and growth in Asia appears to be moderating compared to the sharp recovery following the global financial crisis. However, moderating growth does not affect all sub-segments within an economy. For example, the service sector within Asia's domestic market is continuing to gain in size. We will continue to uncover opportunities in industries that enjoy secular growth as well as companies with solid business models that are poised to benefit from the region's long-term trends and developments.

Investing in small- and mid-size companies is more risky and volatile than investing in large companies as they may be more volatile and less liquid than larger companies.

Matthews China Small Companies Fund

Portfolio Manager Commentary

The Matthews China Small Companies Fund was launched on May 31, 2011. For the period ended June 30, the Fund declined –4.00%, while its benchmark, the MSCI China Small Cap Index, declined –5.66%.

The Matthews China Small Companies Fund was introduced based on our conviction that small businesses are benefiting from China's shift to a market economy and are playing an increasingly important role in China's overall economy. It is estimated that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) account for more than half of both China's total GDP and its industrial output. Compared to China's traditional state-owned enterprises, the mostly privately run SMEs are generally more efficient and dynamic, with better-incentivized management teams seeking to maximize profitability. Over the past five years, the number of publicly listed Chinese companies with market capitalizations under US$3 billion has nearly doubled. These companies cover a wide range of industries including machinery, retail, leisure, education, software and health care. The expanding small company universe has provided us with a significant hunting ground for quality companies.

In constructing this portfolio, we seek companies (generally with market capitalizations under US$3 billion) that are in their initial stage of growth and have the potential to become industry leaders. We focus on companies with compelling business models and management teams capable of delivering sustainable growth. We also look for companies with the ability to capitalize on favorable long-term trends and that employ a disciplined use of capital.

Ajisen China Holdings, an operator of a chain of casual restaurants offering Japanese ramen and Japanese-style dishes in China and Hong Kong, is a Fund holding which illustrates our investment approach. The company started its business in Hong Kong through a franchise agreement with Shigemitsu, a Japanese ramen maker, and entered the mainland Chinese market in 2001. Ajisen adopts a vertically integrated business model and is involved in the entire supply chain from food development and production to sales and marketing. In addition to receiving technological support from Shigemitsu, the company has managed to industrialize and standardize its ramen production. This standardization has enabled Ajisen to accelerate its store rollout plan, and the firm is expected to open more than 200 new restaurants in China over the next two years. During this time, the company has maintained a healthy balance sheet with a net cash position. Management has a track record of delivering sustainable growth through the disciplined use of capital. We believe Ajisen, which has a market cap of about US$2 billion, is in its initial growth stage and has the potential to become a dominant player in China's fast-growing yet fragmented restaurant industry.

During the month of June, the stocks of Chinese small companies experienced a significant decline. Investors were mostly worried about ongoing inflation and the potential for a hard landing following aggressive government tightening measures. We believe that both inflation and tightening efforts are likely reaching their peaks in the cycle, and this may signal a gradual slowdown in economic growth as inflation wanes.

Chinese equities, especially small companies, were negatively impacted when some U.S.-listed Chinese firms came under scrutiny following

Portfolio Manager Commentary (continued)

allegations of fraud. As a result, the sentiment toward overseas-listed Chinese equities was negative during the second quarter. In our stock selection process, we are cautious when we see signs of inconsistencies in corporate financial reporting. Before investing in a company, our due diligence efforts include on-the-ground visits with company representatives and talks with different layers of management, checks with company suppliers and competitors as well as industry experts. We believe these steps serve as a strong screening process and help us select companies that are capable of offering real and sustainable growth.

As of June 30, the Fund held 46 stocks across eight major sectors. Relative to the benchmark, the Fund is overweight the consumer discretionary, information technology and health care sectors. We hold a long-term conviction in the strength of Chinese consumers; however, we also find that small Chinese companies have a particular niche and competitive advantage in domestic service-oriented industries such as leisure, education, high tech and health care. The Fund is underweight the financials, telecom services and energy sectors, which are normally dominated by large-cap, state-owned enterprises. While short-term volatility is generally higher for small companies than it is for China's big "blue chip" names, we remain focused on finding long-term winners in their nascent growth stages and strongly believe that there are many opportunities in the small company universe. We look forward to adding value to the Fund and its shareholders.

Investing in small- and mid-size companies is more risky and volatile than investing in large companies as they may be more volatile and less liquid than larger companies.

Matthews Asia Science and Technology Fund

Portfolio Manager Commentary

For the first half of 2011, the Matthews Asia Science and Technology Fund returned 0.10%, while its benchmark, the MSCI All Country Asia IT and Telecom Services Index, declined –3.68%. For the quarter ended June 30, the Fund declined –0.70%, while the benchmark fell –0.69%.

Overall, Asia's technology sector remained sluggish during the first half of the year, hurt by lower-than-expected overall demand in information technology products and services and Europe's ongoing financial instability. The hardware industry was particularly impacted as demand for PCs remained weak. The PC industry still makes up a large share of the Asian technology hardware sector and this weakness impaired overall sentiment in the Asian technology sector. Earlier in the year, however, we trimmed PC-related positions, and this benefited the Fund's relative performance.

Notable bright spots among Asia's hardware sector have been in the smartphone and tablet-related industries. Key component suppliers to major smartphone and tablet makers performed well during the first half of the year. However, smartphones and tablets still comprise only a small part of the market and were not able to carry the entire sector into positive territory.

Another bright spot was the Chinese Internet space. Social networking companies around the globe garnered investor attention as their valuations reached new highs during the first quarter of the year. However, as concerns surfaced regarding the transparency and corporate governance of Chinese companies listed in the U.S., this segment underwent a correction late in the second quarter. Despite this, the Fund's Chinese Internet holdings performed strongly during this period and most were still able to maintain positive gains. In our view, the long-term prospects for China's IT and Internet sector remain compelling despite these recent challenges. Overall Internet usage surpassed 400 million users as of the end of 2010, yet overall penetration rates remain relatively low at approximately 32% compared to about 75% for the U.S. We expect volatility in the sector to remain high as investor expectations for this segment continue to fluctuate. Chinese Internet holdings make up a large part of the portfolio, and we continue to look for industry leaders with dominant market position that are benefiting from long-term developments in the sector.

On a country basis, Japan was among the top contributors to the Fund during the first half of the year. Despite the strong yen and the recent earthquake and tsunami, the portfolio's Japanese holdings were positive contributors as a result of their strong technology and dominant positions in the global technology sector. In Japan, we seek companies that have gained monopolistic positions in their respective industries via technological know-how. This strategy has helped the Fund's holdings perform well despite the country's natural disasters. On the other hand, the portfolio's Taiwanese holdings were the largest detractors of Fund performance as most were hardware-related firms. We continue to search for more opportunities among Taiwanese firms that supply components to smartphone and tablet makers.

Globally, during the first half of the year, we saw a rapid decline of once-prominent mobile handset makers Nokia and Research in Motion (the

maker of Blackberry-branded mobile devices). Once viewed as industry leaders not long ago, these companies failed to transition successfully as the smartphone revolution took place. Both companies were slower than their competitors to adapt, and by the end of June, lost more than 40% of their market value. HTC, a Fund holding and relative newcomer in the mobile phone industry, is now commanding a larger market capitalization than both Nokia and Research in Motion. This demonstrates how quickly trends in the technology sector can change and how the industry landscape can be altered within a matter of a few quarters.

Overall sentiment toward the Asian technology sector remains weak amid global financial instability and weakened consumer demand for technology products. However, we continue to look for opportunities in such secular growth industries in Asia as factory automation, Internet and IT services that are poised to benefit from long-term, regional developments.

Sector funds may be subject to a higher degree of market risk than diversified funds because of a concentration in a specific sector. The Fund's value may be affected by changes in the science and technology-related industries.

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.

This table 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 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 generally 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 detemining whether the redemption fee applies, the shares that have been held the longest will be redeemed first. The Funds may grant exemption from the redemption fee when the Funds have previously received assurances that transactions do not involve market timing activity. The Funds may also waive the imposition of redemption fees in certain circumstances.

For more information on this policy, please see the Funds' prospectus.

The Matthews Asia 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 (unaudited)

1.  ORGANIZATION

Matthews Asia Funds (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"). The Trust currently issues twelve separate series of shares (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"): Matthews Asian Growth and Income Fund, Matthews Asia Dividend Fund, Matthews China Dividend Fund, Matthews Asia Growth Fund (formerly known as Matthews Asia Pacific Fund), Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund, Matthews China Fund, Matthews India Fund, Matthews Japan Fund, Matthews Korea Fund, Matthews Asia Small Companies Fund, Matthews China Small Companies Fund and Matthews Asia Science and Technology Fund. Each Fund except for Matthews Asia Small Companies Fund, Matthews China Small Companies Fund and Matthews Asia Science and Technology Fund currently offers two classes of shares: Investor Class and Institutional Class. Matthews Asia Small Companies Fund, Matthews China Small Companies Fund and Matthews Asia Science and Technology Fund currently offer only Investor Class shares. Each class of shares has identical voting, dividends, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except each class may be subject to different class expenses as outlined in the relevant prospectus and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters solely affecting such class. Effective November 12, 2010, the Matthews Asia Small Companies Fund was closed to most new investors and effective January 7, 2011, the Matthews Asian Growth and Income Fund was closed to most new investors. The Funds will continue to accept investments from existing shareholders.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in 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 (the "Board") when no market quotations are available or when market quotations have become unreliable. Securities that trade in over-the-counter markets, including most debt securities (bonds), may be valued using indicative bid and ask quotations from bond dealers or market makers, or other available market information, or at their fair value as determined by or under the direction of the Board.

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions, portfolio securities, and assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated and recorded in U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). 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 investments in equity securities that is due to changes in foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.

Market values for equity securities are determined based on quotations from the principal (or most advantageous) market on which the security is traded. Market quotations used by the Funds include last reported sale prices, or, if such prices are not reported or available, bid and ask prices. Securities are valued through valuations obtained from a commercial pricing service or by securities dealers in accordance with procedures established by the Board.

The Board has delegated the responsibility of making fair value determinations to the Funds' Valuation Committee (the "Valuation Committee") subject to the Funds' Pricing Policies. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its Net Asset Value ("NAV") differ from any quoted or published prices for the same securities for that day. All fair value determinations are made subject to the Board's oversight. Events affecting the value of foreign investments occur between the time at which they are determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. If the Funds believe that such events render market quotations unreliable, and the impact of such events can be reasonably determined, the investments will be valued at their fair value. The fair value of a security held by the Funds may be determined using the services of third-party pricing services retained by the Funds or by the Valuation Committee, in either case subject to the Board's oversight.

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.

B.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS: In accordance with the guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (level 3 measurements). Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2: Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

As of June 30, 2011, Level 3 Securities consist of international bonds that trade in over-the-counter markets. As described in Note 2-A, these securities are valued using indicative bid and ask quotations from bond dealers and market makers, or on their fair value as determined under the direction of the Board. Indicative quotations and other information used by the Funds may not always be directly observable in the marketplace due to the nature of these markets and the manner of execution. These inputs, the methodology used for valuing such securities, and the characterization of such securities as Level 3 Securities are not necessarily an indication of liquidity, or the risk associated with investing in these securities.

Certain foreign securities may be fair valued by external pricing services when the Funds determine that events affecting the value of foreign securities which occur between the time at which they are determined and the close of trading on the NYSE render market quotations unreliable. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities that are valued based on market quotations are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. (See Note 2-A Securities Valuation) At June 30, 2011, the Funds utilized third party pricing services to fair value certain markets which were different than markets which utilized third party pricing services at December 31, 2010. As a result, certain securities held by the Funds were transferred from Level 2 into Level 1 and certain securities held by the Funds were transferred from Level 1 into Level 2 with beginning of period values as follows:

*  The Fund's policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the beginning of the reporting period.

**  Included in the related amounts on the Statements of Operations.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-04 Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). ASU No. 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU No. 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

C.  RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH NON-U.S. COMPANIES: Investments by the Funds in the securities of non-U.S. companies may involve investment risks not typically associated with investments in U.S. issuers. These risks include possible political, economic, social and religious instability, inadequate investor protection; changes in laws or regulations of countries within the Asia Pacific region (including both in countries where you invest, as well as in the broader region); international relations with other nations; natural disasters; corruption; and military activity. Foreign securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in price than securities of domestic corporations or the U.S. government. Foreign investing may also include the risk of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitation on the removal or funds or other

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

assets, currency crises and exchange controls, the imposition of foreign withholding tax on the interest income payable on such instruments, 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. Additionally, Asia Pacific countries may utilize formal or informal currency exchange controls or "capital controls" that may limit the ability to repatriate investments or income or adversely affect the value of portfolio investments. The economies of many Asia Pacific countries differ from the economies of more developed countries in many respects, such as their rate of growth, inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and dependence on other economies, financial system stability, the national balance of payments position and sensitivity to changes in global trade. Certain Asia Pacific countries are highly dependent upon and may be affected by developments in the economies of other countries. Non-U.S. companies are subject to different accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards, practices, and requirements than U.S. companies. There is generally less government regulation of stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies abroad than in the U.S., which may result in less transparency with respect to a company's operations, and make obtaining information about them more difficult (or such information may be unavailable). Foreign stock markets may not be as developed or efficient as those in the United States, and the absence of negotiated brokerage commissions in certain countries may result in higher brokerage fees. The time between the trade and settlement dates of securities transactions on foreign exchanges ranges from one day to four weeks or longer and may result in higher custody charges. Custodial arrangements may be less well developed than in the United States. Foreign securities are generally denominated and pay distributions in foreign currencies, exposing the Funds to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Investing in any country in the Asia Pacific region will also entail risks specific and unique to that country, and these risks can be significant and change rapidly.

D.  INCOME AND WITHHOLDING 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, 2011. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Income and capital gains of the Funds are determined in accordance with both tax regulations and U.S. GAAP. 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 U.S. GAAP, and the use of the tax accounting practice known as equalization.

Management has analyzed the Funds' tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior three tax years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements. The Funds' federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Under current tax law, capital and currency losses realized after October 31 and prior to the Fund's 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, 2010 were as follows:

	Post October Capital Losses		Post October Currency Losses
Matthews Asia Dividend Fund	$	—	$	82,207
Matthews China Dividend Fund		—		2,322
Matthews Asia Growth Fund		—		55,869
Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund		—		2,215,610
Matthews China Fund		1,423,251		14,746
Matthews India Fund		3,173,623		270,782
Matthews Korea Fund		—		5,878
Matthews Asia Small Companies Fund		—		47,112

For federal income tax purposes, the Funds indicated below have capital loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2010, which expire in the year indicated, which are available to offset future capital gains, if any:

EXPIRING IN:	2016		2017		2018		Total
Matthews Asia Growth Fund	$	8,369,439	$	58,248,975	$	—	$	66,618,414
Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund		—		100,409,052		—		100,409,052
Matthews India Fund		—		84,698,767		2,775,218		87,473,985
Matthews Japan Fund		30,079,024		44,032,426		—		74,111,450
Matthews Asia Science and Technology Fund		8,256,365		15,057,062		—		23,313,427

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Funds after December 31, 2011 will not be subject to expirations. In addition, these losses must be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years.

In addition to the requirements of the Code, the Funds may be subject to foreign withholding taxes on distributions by or capital gains associated with portfolio holdings. The Funds consider the impact of a country's tax laws and regulations, as well as withholding, when considering investment decisions. The Funds may be subject to short-term capital gains tax in India on gains realized upon disposition of Indian securities held less than one year. The tax is computed on net realized gains; any realized losses in excess of gains may be carried forward for a period of up to eight years to offset future gains. Any net taxes payable must be remitted to the Indian government prior to repatriation of sales proceeds. The Funds that invest in Indian securities accrue a liability for the estimated potential future Indian tax liability for unrealized short-term gains in excess of available carryforwards on Indian securities. This accrual may reduce a Fund's net asset value. As of June 30, 2011, the Matthews Asian Growth and Income Fund and Matthews Asia Small Companies Fund have recorded a payable of $424,087 and $315,777 respectively, as an estimate for such potential future India capital gains taxes.

In addition, China has recently adopted certain revisions to its tax laws and regulations that generally result in holdings of the Funds in companies headquartered in China (whether A shares, B shares, H shares or shares traded in depository receipt form) being subject to withholding taxes on dividends and other income. To the extent that such withholding taxes are imposed on holdings of the Funds in companies headquartered in China, the Funds' returns will be adversely impacted.

E.  OFFERING COSTS: Offering 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 offering costs, the redemption proceeds will be reduced by any such unamortized offering 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.

F.  DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: It is the policy of Matthews Asian Growth and Income Fund and Matthews China Dividend Fund to distribute net investment income on a semi-annual basis and capital gains, if any, annually. It is the policy of Matthews Asia Dividend Fund to distribute net investment income on a quarterly basis and capital gains, if any, annually. Each of the other Funds 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 U.S. GAAP. Net investment losses may not be utilized to offset net investment income in future periods for tax purposes.

The tax character of distributions paid for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 was as follows:

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010	Ordinary Income		Net Long-Term Capital Gains		Total Taxable Distributions
Matthews Asian Growth and Income Fund	$	94,189,105	$	51,682,614	$	145,871,719
Matthews Asia Dividend Fund		40,287,845		5,022,499		45,310,344
Matthews China Dividend Fund		722,729		—		722,729
Matthews Asia Growth Fund		2,855,326		—		2,855,326
Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund		18,668,943		—		18,668,943
Matthews China Fund		14,642,220		2,109,742		16,751,962
Matthews India Fund		6,221,074		—		6,221,074
Matthews Japan Fund		2,536,497		—		2,536,497
Matthews Korea Fund		—		3,500,175		3,500,175
Matthews Asia Small Companies Fund		2,373,718		3,751,019		6,124,737
Matthews Asia Science and Technology Fund		394,719		—		394,719

G.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME: Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Gains or losses on the sale of securities are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is generally recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend income for certain issuers headquartered in countries which the Funds invest may not be recorded until approved by the shareholders (which may occur after the ex-dividend date) if, in the judgment of Matthews, such dividends are not reasonably determined as of the ex-dividend date. Income and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets or another appropriate basis.

H.  FUND EXPENSE ALLOCATIONS: The Funds account separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund. Direct expenses of each Fund or class are charged to the Fund or class while general expenses are allocated pro-rata among the Funds based on net assets or other appropriate methods.

I.  CASH OVERDRAFTS: When cash balances are overdrawn, a Fund is charged an overdraft fee by the custodian of 1.00% above the 30-day LIBOR rate on outstanding balances. These amounts, if any, are included in Other expenses on the Statements of Operations.

J.  USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The Funds generally assess a redemption fee of 2.00% of the total redemption proceeds if shareholders sell or exchange their shares within 90 calendar days after purchasing them. The redemption fee is paid directly to the Funds and is designed to offset transaction costs associated with short-term trading of Fund shares. For purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies, the shares that have been held the longest will be redeemed first. The Funds may grant an exemption from the redemption fee when the Funds have previously received assurances that transactions do not involve a substantial risk of the type of harm that the policy is designed to avoid. The Funds may also waive the imposition of redemption fees in certain circumstances. For more information on this policy, please see the Funds' prospectus. The redemption fees returned to the assets of the Funds are stated in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

4.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Matthews International Capital Management, LLC ("Matthews"), a registered investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, provides the Funds with investment management services. Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement dated August 13, 2004, as amended (the "Advisory Agreement"), the Funds pay Matthews (i) for management and advisory services; and (ii) for certain administrative services, an annual fee as a percentage of average daily net assets. Under the Advisory Agreement each of the Funds, other than the Matthews Asia Small Companies Fund and Matthews China Small Companies Fund pays Matthews 0.75% of their annual aggregate average daily net assets from $0 to $2 billion, 0.6834% on their annual aggregate average daily net assets between $2 billion and $5 billion, and 0.65% on their annual aggregate average daily net assets over $5 billion. The Matthews Asia Small Companies Fund and the Matthews China Small Companies Fund pay Matthews an annual fee of 1.00% of its annual average daily net assets pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. Each Fund pays Matthews a monthly fee of one-twelfth (1/12) of the management fee of the Fund's average daily net asset value for each month in arrears.

Under a written agreement between the Funds and Matthews, Matthews agrees to waive fees and reimburse expenses to a Fund if its expense ratio exceeds a certain percentage level. For Matthews China Fund, Matthews India Fund, Matthews Japan Fund, Matthews Korea Fund, Matthews Asia Small Companies Fund, Matthews China Small Companies Fund and Matthews Asia Science and Technology Fund, the level is 2.00%. For Matthews Asian Growth and Income Fund, Matthews Asia Growth Fund and Matthews Pacific Tiger Fund, the level is 1.90%. For Matthews Asia Dividend Fund and Matthews China Dividend Fund, the level is 1.50%. In turn, if a Fund's expenses fall below the level noted within three years after Matthews has made such a waiver or reimbursement, the Fund may reimburse Matthews up to an amount not to exceed its expense limitation.

7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued, and has noted no additional events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

102 MATTHEWS ASIA FUNDS

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

Matthews China Small Companies Fund (the "China Small Companies Fund" or the "Fund"), which is a series of the Trust, has retained Matthews International Capital Management, LLC (the "Advisor") to manage its assets pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, which has been approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, including the Independent Trustees. The Advisory Agreement will continue in effect from year-to-year provided that the continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund, or by the Board of Trustees, and, in either event, by a majority of the Independent Trustees of the Trust casting votes in person at a meeting called for that purpose.

At a meeting held on February 24, 2011, the Board, including the Independent Trustees of the Trust, approved the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, for an initial one year term.

Before that meeting, the Independent Trustees had requested detailed information from the Advisor about the matters to be considered. This information, together with the information provided to the Independent Trustees throughout the course of year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board's determinations as summarized below. The Independent Trustees reviewed and discussed the extensive information provided by the Advisor at a separate executive session held prior to the meeting on February 24, 2011. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their deliberations by their independent legal counsel. Below is a summary of the factors considered by the Board in approving the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund.

  The nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees considered the experience and qualifications of the personnel at the Advisor who will be responsible for providing services to the Fund and who will be responsible for the daily management of the Fund's portfolios. The Trustees noted that the Advisor has expanded and deepened its management team over the past several years, and has further plans in that regard. They also reviewed applicable changes to the Advisor's portfolio management personnel and their responsibilities, reflecting a long-term vision for the Advisor's business and for the Fund. The Trustees viewed the Advisor as having been successful in continuing to provide high quality services to its other funds while both weathering very challenging securities markets as well as asset and revenue contractions in 2008 and 2009, and while addressing the pressures of investing a dramatic increase in assets later in 2009 and in 2010. The Trustees attributed much of that success to the Advisor's emphasis of preserving and enhancing portfolio management team resources, careful business planning and management, as well as its solid financial condition and strong cash reserves. The Trustees considered the Advisor's succession plan to address situations where key personnel are no longer available, and the design and implementation of the Advisor's disaster recovery and business continuity plan. The Trustees also considered the Chief Compliance Officer's report regarding the compliance resources, initiatives, programs and structures of the Advisor, including the compliance record of the Advisor and the Advisor's supervision of service providers. The Trustees concluded that the Advisor has high-quality compliance and commitment to a culture of compliance. The Trustees recognized the extent of the Advisor's on-going commitment to marketing and distribution, particularly new marketing initiatives, enhancement to client retention efforts, as well as resources devoted to investor education publications and website content, design and function. Other initiatives observed by the Trustees included significant efforts related to relationships with broker-dealers, independent advisors, and other financial institutions. The Trustees concluded that the Advisor had the quality and depth of personnel and investment methods essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement, and that the nature, overall quality, cost and extent of such management services are satisfactory and reliable.

  The investment performance of the Advisor. The Trustees reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of the Advisor's other funds and in the Advisor's small companies and China specific strategies. The Trustees emphasized longer-term performance, which they believe is more important than short isolated periods for purposes of evaluating the Advisor's success in meeting shareholder objectives. The Trustees also reviewed the Advisor's trading policies and efforts to obtain best overall execution for its other funds in the various markets in which the funds trade securities. The Trustees noted the Advisor's consistent adherence to its long-standing investment approach, which emphasizes fundamental bottom-up driven investment selection.

  The extent to which the Advisor realizes economies of scale as the Fund grows larger and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. Because the Fund is new, it is not expected to recognize economies of scale for some time, particularly because of the specialized small companies strategy for China. The Trustees discussed the Advisor's past and ongoing investment in its business and personnel, which is an acceptable way for the Fund to share indirectly in realizing

matthewsasia.com | 800.789.ASIA 103

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement(Unaudited)(continued)

economies of scale. The Trustees will monitor the Fund's growth and evaluate economies of scale with respect to future renewals of the Advisory Agreement, especially as the Fund grows.

  The costs of the services provided by the Advisor and others. The Trustees considered the proposed advisory fees and the expected total fees and expenses of the China Small Companies Fund in comparison to the advisory fees and other fees and expenses of other funds in the Fund's peer group. The Trustees considered both the gross advisory fee rates charged by the Advisor, as well as the effective advisory fee rate expected to apply after taking into consideration the expense limitation arrangements. The Trustees found that the proposed contractual advisory rate (excluding administrative services) for the Fund was competitive.

The Trustees also compared the Advisor's advisory fees with those of the Advisor's separate accounts and other investment products, noting that the Fund's proposed advisory expenses were not disadvantageous (not being substantially higher than the separate accounts' rates). Total expenses appeared to be appropriate in comparison and taking into account the services differences between these products and the Fund, including the differences in the frequency of net asset value calculations. The Trustees concluded that the Advisor's advisory fee ratio and the Fund's expense ratio are reasonable in light of comparative performance and expense and advisory fee information for the Fund.

  The profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund. The Trustees recognize that, as a new Fund with an expense limitation in place, it is not likely to generate profits for the Advisor initially, and until the Fund has experienced some growth. Although the Trustees are familiar with the profitability of the Advisor on both an absolute basis and in comparison to other investment advisers in connection with their review of other mutual funds managed by the Advisor, the profitability for this Fund is likely to be substantially lower for the foreseeable future given its much smaller size.

No single factor was determinative of the Board's decision to approve the Advisory Agreement, but rather the Trustees based their determination on the total mix of information available to them. After considering the factors described above, the Board concluded that the terms of the advisory arrangements are fair and reasonable to the China Small Companies Fund in light of the services that the Advisor will provide, its costs and reasonably foreseeable Fund asset levels, and that the Fund's shareholders would receive reasonable value in return for the advisory fees paid. The Board agreed that the approval of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees concluded separately that approval of the Advisory Agreement was supported by reasonable and impartial records and information, including the services to be provided by the Advisor and the competitive expense structure, and that the approval of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the China Small Companies Fund would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

The Advisory Agreement may be terminated by the Trustees on behalf of the Fund or the Advisor upon 60 days' prior written notice without penalty. The Advisory Agreement will also terminate automatically in the event of its assignment, as defined in the 1940 Act.
