Inside, you'll find in-depth information on each of these Portfolios, including holdings and an update from the portfolio management team. You'll note that the year covered by this report ended August 31, 2001. Like people everywhere, we here at JPMorgan Fleming were horrified and saddened by the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. in September. We received the terrible news while we were in the midst of preparing this report. At this time, it is uncertain how the attacks will affect the fixed income and equity markets but we expect to see some volatility, at least for the short term. Clearly, the events of September 11, 2001 have had a dramatic impact on the global economy and financial markets, creating significant uncertainty among investors everywhere. In the individual Portfolio commentaries that follow, the management team will address where each of the Portfolios may be headed in light of these tragic events. EQUITY MARKET SLUMPS AS U.S. ECONOMY SLOWS As the reporting period began in September 2000, the formerly red-hot U.S. economy was showing signs of slowing following a series of interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve Board that began in June 1999. The slowdown continued throughout the reporting period and was particularly pronounced in those sectors of the economy that had grown at such an impressive pace in the late 1990s, specifically technology and telecommunications. At their zenith in early 2000, the prices of many of the stocks in these sectors reflected high expectations of continuing and uninterrupted growth in revenue and earnings. As short- and medium-term prospects have progressively dimmed since then, there has been a painful ratcheting down of earnings expectations and valuations. For the reporting year, the NASDAQ Composite Index, home to many of these companies, was down 57.08%. A broader gauge of the U.S. equity market, the S&P 500 Index, was off 24.38% for the reporting year. Within the S&P 500, value stocks held up fairly well, down 8.19%, compared to a loss of 37.80% for growth stocks. This represented a significant shift in investor preference back towards companies with less volatile flows of revenue and earnings such as those in the pharmaceutical, retail and energy sectors. The latter went through a period of very strong performance in the winter and spring as energy prices reached multi-year highs and rolling energy blackouts hit California. Small- and mid-cap stocks performed relatively well, with the S&P SmallCap 600 Index showing a gain of 0.54% for the reporting year and the S&P MidCap 400 Index recording a loss of 8.13%. FIXED INCOME INVESTMENTS GAIN AS FED AGGRESSIVELY CUTS RATES While the U.S. stock market struggled, bonds showed a positive return and highlighted the importance of diversification for long-term investors. The Lehman Aggregate Index, which includes a variety of long-term Treasury, corporate and government agency bonds, gained 11.48% during the reporting year as the Federal Reserve reversed course on January 3, 2001 and began a policy of aggressive short-term interest rate cuts to spark economic growth. In response, the yield curve steepened, with rates on shorter-term maturities coming down faster than those on longer-term issues as investors attempted to price in the timing of an eventual economic recovery, the potential for inflation down the road and the impact of the Bush tax package. OVERSEAS STOCKS PERFORM IN LINE WITH U.S. Overseas stock markets also recorded significant losses during the reporting year as the global economy dealt with the same broad trends as the U.S., namely lower expectations for economic growth and lower earnings for companies in the technology and telecommunications sectors. A broad gauge of foreign stocks, the MSCI EAFE Index, performed in line with the S&P 500, with a loss of 24.08%. 4 [GRAPHIC] Despite high hopes for reform and a market rally following the surprise election of Prime Minister Koizumi in the spring, Japan was the worst performing major market in dollar terms over the reporting year as the MSCI Japan Index fell 34.94%. European stocks as a group did better, down 21.94%, with the U.K. market outperforming Continental Europe. THE IMPORTANCE OF A LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE As we write today, it is likely that the U.S. economy has entered a recession. However, we note that the Fed and leaders in Washington, as well as central bankers and leaders in Europe and Japan, have shown a willingness to take steps to get economies back on track. While we face uncertainty ahead, the U.S. government's fiscal position is better than it has been in many years, and the economy has yet to feel the full impact of more stimulative monetary and fiscal policies. We have all felt the loss from the tragic effects of the terrorist attacks. In addition to coping with how these events have affected each of us, we and our many colleagues in the broader financial community have been working to resume the effective functioning of our capital markets. We are confident that the economy and markets will prove strong and durable, and we continue to work to deliver solid risk-adjusted returns to long-term investors in Vista Capital Advantage. On behalf of everyone here, we thank you for your continued investment and we look forward to helping you reach your most important financial goals. Sincerely yours, /s/ GEORGE GATCH George Gatch President, JPMorgan Funds 5 [GRAPHIC] GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO (UNAUDITED) THE GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO SEEKS TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM CAPITAL APPRECIATION AND DIVIDEND INCOME PRIMARILY THROUGH DIVERSIFIED HOLDINGS OF COMMON STOCKS. HOW THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMED For the year ended August 31, 2001, the Growth & Income Portfolio had a total return of -17.29%. This compares to a total return of -24.38% for the S&P 500 Index and -8.19% for the S&P 500/BARRA Value Index. HOW THE PORTFOLIO WAS MANAGED In the final four months of 2000, the Portfolio benefited from its value orientation as the prospect of slowing economic growth hurt high growth companies trading at expensive multiples while rewarding businesses with steady earnings and relatively inexpensive stock prices. Moving into 2001, significant price moves in the financial and technology sectors in January caught the Portfolio off balance. These shifts occurred just as the Portfolio was in the process of regaining its sector-neutral position following a rebalancing of its benchmark Index. The Portfolio's bias towards Wall Street stocks (Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, American Express) over Main Street stocks (regional banks) was detrimental to performance throughout 2001. However, in the final two months of the reporting year, a decision to underweight consumer discretionary stocks in light of falling consumer confidence proved beneficial to performance, as was an overweighting in consumer staples. The Portfolio was underweight information technology throughout 2001, and this was very positive as the bear market in tech stocks continued. In the final two months of the reporting year, the Portfolio's holdings in the energy sector hurt performance while a slight overweight in healthcare ended up having little impact on relative performance. LOOKING AHEAD For most of 2001, the U.S. stock market has been caught in a tug-of-war between the Fed's aggressive easing of monetary policy and a continued downgrading of earnings expectations as the economy slowed. It is possible that the economy had already moved into recession prior to the terrorist attack on September 11, and consumer sentiment and economic activity have fallen sharply since then. The management team is focused on investing in quality companies with strong balance sheets that are poised to come through the current environment in strong--perhaps even stronger--competitive positions. Sticking to the disciplined process that has proven successful over several market cycles, the management team intends to be opportunistic, taking advantage of any bounce in the market to sell certain traditional "value" companies that may not meet current requirements and use the proceeds to move into names with steadier earnings and better long-term prospects.

HOW THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMED For the year ended August 31, 2001, the Capital Growth Portfolio had a total return of -10.77%. This compares to a total return of -8.13% for the S&P MidCap 400 Index and -12.97% for the Russell 2000 Index. HOW THE PORTFOLIO WAS MANAGED In the last four months of 2001, the Portfolio benefited as concerns about the economy helped mid-cap stocks, which were seen as having generally stronger earnings growth characteristics. Moving into 2001, the management team began to adopt a rather defensive bias, and this has helped overall Portfolio performance. As companies cut earning estimates throughout the year, the resulting positioning in companies with stable earnings has proved beneficial, as has a preference for regional banks within the financial services sector. After having been hurt by technology holdings in the final part of 2000, the Portfolio has been underweight year-to-date in 2001, and this has obviously supported performance given the sharp downward movement in tech stock prices. Two sectors in which the Portfolio was particularly well positioned were health care and energy. The Portfolio owned two energy companies that were taken over at relatively good premiums, Triton and Tosco. In the final two months of the period, the Portfolio held up quite well, continuing to outperform its benchmark. However, it was hurt by holdings in consumer discretionary stocks which, despite traditionally doing well when the Fed eases, were hit quite hard as consumer confidence fell following the events of September 11, 2001. LOOKING AHEAD For most of 2001, the U.S. stock market has been caught in a tug-of-war between the Fed's aggressive easing of monetary policy and a continued downgrading of earnings expectations as the economy slowed. It is possible that the economy had already moved into recession prior to the terrorist attack on September 11, and clearly consumer sentiment and economic activity have fallen sharply since then. The defensive bias the management team adopted early in 2001 continues. The management team is focused on investing in quality companies with strong balance sheets that are poised to come through the current environment in strong--perhaps even stronger--competitive positions. Sticking to the disciplined process that has proven successful over several market cycles, the management team intends to be opportunistic, taking advantage of any bounce in the market to sell certain traditional "value" companies that may not meet current requirements and use the proceeds to move into names with steadier earnings and better long-term prospects.

HOW THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMED For the year ended August 31, 2001, the International Equity Portfolio had a total return of -24.76%. This compares to a total return of -24.08% for the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australia and Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index. HOW THE PORTFOLIO WAS MANAGED Throughout the reporting period, the Portfolio's strategy remained focused on stock selection, utilizing three levels of decision-making. The first consists of regional specialists, who rank individual stocks within their geographic region. The second is made up of global sector specialists, who make judgments on stocks recommended by regional specialists on a global level, for instance comparing BMW in Germany and Toyota in Japan to help identify the best company in the global automotive industry. Finally, a London-based team of our most experienced analysts makes final portfolio construction decisions to ensure that total portfolio risk is understood and controlled. As a result of this process, greater than 70% of the Portfolio's "risk budget" will be deployed in the selection of individual stocks, while sector and regional risk are residual factors. This ensures that the manager's key strength in stock selection is what continues to drive returns. Throughout the reporting year, the result of individual stock decisions led to an overweight position in Europe relative to Japan. Within Europe, the Portfolio was generally more concentrated than the Index in the United Kingdom and was underweight continental European issues, particularly the incumbent telecommunications companies which are so heavily weighted in the Index. While many holdings experienced drops in stock prices as a result of lower earnings expectations, the management team attempted to look beyond the short-term downgrades and focus instead on those companies that were building market share through product innovation and volume growth despite the difficult economic environment. Nokia, for instance, is a holding that has suffered along with the entire telecommunications equipment sector over the past year, but has done well relative to its peers. The company has been able to build market share and, as such, a stronger base for the future. With regard to Japan, the management team was very wary of banks and "sunset" businesses such as construction companies and steel producers, while favoring technology companies whose future prospects appear much more favorable. In the summer, the management team had adjusted to a more defensive posture given the expectation of a reduction in economic activity. As such, the portfolio ended the period with a lower weighting to stocks dependent on the consumer and towards areas with more stable earnings, including those in the financial services, healthcare and basic materials sectors.

Even as central bankers added liquidity into the system, the management team felt that earnings forecasts for 2002 were still too high and, therefore, focused on quality of earnings and the ability to sustain them at this point in the economic cycle. The difficult environment that caused this defensive positioning was exacerbated by the event of the terrorist attack. Negative earnings announcements and poor consumer sentiment will continue to cast a shadow over markets in the near term. Therefore, the management team intends to remain focused on quality of earnings and to look forward to the period when markets stabilize and recover. It is anticipated that the bias towards Europe over Japan will continue until economy-wide restructuring becomes more evident in Japan. Within Europe, while the defensive qualities of the U.K. market continue to stand out, the management team intends in due course to shift the focus to the continent as individual company prospects improve. On an opportunistic basis, the management team will continue to invest in stocks in the Pacific ex-Japan and in specific emerging markets companies which compete effectively on the global stage. 9 [GRAPHIC] ASSET ALLOCATION PORTFOLIO (UNAUDITED) THE ASSET ALLOCATION PORTFOLIO SEEKS TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM RETURN THROUGH A COMBINATION OF LONG-TERM CAPITAL GROWTH AND CURRENT INCOME BY INVESTING IN COMMON STOCKS, CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES AND GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATE FIXED-INCOME OBLIGATIONS. HOW THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMED For the year ended August 31, 2001, the Asset Allocation Portfolio had a total return of -15.20%. This compares to a one-year return of -11.03% for a blended benchmark consisting of the S&P 500 (60%) and the Lehman Government Bond Index (40%). HOW THE PORTFOLIO WAS MANAGED The Portfolio was hurt in the latter part of 2000 from its exposure to the technology sector, with warnings from many companies on the state of their orders as well as analysts' downgrades, which caused almost indiscriminate selling. Moving into 2001, significant price moves in the financial and technology sectors in January caught the Portfolio off balance. These shifts occurred just as the Portfolio was in the process of regaining its sector-neutral position following a rebalancing of its benchmark Index. The Portfolio's bias towards Wall Street stocks (Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, American Express) over Main Street stocks (regional banks) was detrimental to performance throughout 2001. However, in the final two months of the reporting year, a decision to underweight consumer discretionary stocks in light of falling consumer confidence proved beneficial to performance, as did an overweighting in consumer staples. The Portfolio was underweight information technology throughout 2001, and this was very positive as the bear market in tech stocks continued. In the final two months of the reporting year, the Portfolio's holdings in the energy sector caused performance to suffer while a slight overweight in healthcare ended up having little impact on relative performance. Throughout the reporting year, the negative impact of the performance of the U.S. equity markets was somewhat offset by the positive returns of the Portfolio's fixed income holdings. Excellent yield curve strategy was the key to the fixed income portion of the Portfolio's strong performance in the latter part of 2000. When it became clear to the management team that the Fed would have to step in and cut short-term rates to prop up the sagging economy, the Portfolio was adjusted to benefit from a steepening yield curve, focusing on two- and five-year securities. The Portfolio began extending duration in late 2000 and extended further in early 2001 to gain and maintain a significantly longer than benchmark duration in anticipation of further Fed moves to lower interest rates. As threats to the economy appeared to moderate in the spring of 2001, duration was scaled back to neutral in the second quarter. With falling interest rates leading to concerns about refinancing and new issue supply, the Portfolio maintained relatively low exposure to the residential mortgage sector through the end of the current reporting period. Throughout the year, the Portfolio's yield was higher than that of its Index as the mix of investments had lower-than-index exposure to Treasuries and was more highly concentrated in government agency securities, and some mortgages. LOOKING AHEAD The management team is focused on investing in quality companies with strong balance sheets that are poised to come through the current environment in strong--perhaps even stronger--competitive positions. Sticking to the disciplined process that has proven successful over several market cycles, the management team intends to be opportunistic, taking advantage of any bounce in the market to sell certain traditional "value" companies that may not meet current requirements and use the proceeds to move into names with steadier earnings and better long-term prospects. On the fixed income side, it is likely that the Fed will lower the Fed Funds rate to the 2% to 2.5% range by the first quarter of 2002, and the government will provide substantial fiscal stimulus in the form of funding for rebuilding and increased military spending. The yield curve will likely continue to steepen with short- and intermediate-term rates declining further. The Portfolio entered September with modestly long duration positions concentrated in shorter maturities and extended these positions as events unfolded during the month.

HOW THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMED For the year ended August 31, 2001, the U.S. Government Income Portfolio had a total return of 10.64%. This compares to a total return of 11.48% for the Lehman Intermediate Government Bond Index. HOW THE PORTFOLIO WAS MANAGED Excellent yield curve strategy was the key to the Portfolio's strong performance in the latter part of 2000. When it became clear to the management team that the Fed would have to step in and cut short-term rates to prop up the sagging economy, the Portfolio was adjusted to benefit from a steepening yield curve, focusing on two- and five-year securities. The Portfolio began extending duration in late 2000 and extended further in early 2001 to gain and maintain a significantly longer-than-benchmark duration in anticipation of further Fed moves to lower interest rates. As threats to the economy appeared to moderate in the spring of 2001, duration was scaled back to neutral in the second quarter. With falling interest rates leading to concerns about refinancing and new issue supply, the Portfolio maintained relatively low exposure to the residential mortgage sector through the end of the current reporting period. Throughout 2001, the Portfolio's yield was higher than that of its benchmark as the mix of investments had lower-than-index exposure to Treasuries and was more highly concentrated in government agency securities, and some mortgages. LOOKING AHEAD With most components of the U.S. economy already being very weak, the incremental impact of the events of September 11 will likely be significant. Growing labor and equity market weakness had already begun to affect the vulnerable consumer sector, and it is likely that the economy has moved into recession. Both the Fed and our leaders in Washington have clearly stated that they will do whatever is necessary to stabilize the economy, rebuild and effectively address the terrorist threat. It is likely that the Fed will lower the Fed Funds rate to the 2% to 2.5% range by the first quarter of 2002, and the government will provide substantial fiscal stimulus in the form of funding for rebuilding and increased military spending. The yield curve will likely continue to steepen with short- and intermediate-term rates declining further. The Portfolio entered September with modestly long duration positions concentrated in shorter maturities and extended these positions as events unfolded during the month. In an uncertain market, future Portfolio shifts will be determined by our active strategies in pursuit of performance through a mix of current income and capital appreciation.

The investment adviser is currently waiving certain fees. This voluntary waiver may be modified or terminated at any time, which would reduce performance. The unmanaged Lehman Intermediate U.S. Government Bond Index includes bonds with 1 to 10 year maturities and assumes the reinvestment of dividends. An individual cannot invest in an index. The Lehman U.S. Government Bond Index is composed of the U.S. Treasury Bond Index and the Agency Bond Index and includes U.S. Treasury and Agency bond issues. The index is unmanaged and reflects the reinvestment of dividends. An individual cannot invest directly in an index. The Lipper General U.S. Government Funds Index represents the performance of the 30 largest funds that invest in U.S. Government Securities. Lipper is an independent mutual fund performance monitor whose results are based on total return and do not reflect a sales charge. Withdrawals prior to age 59 1/2 from the Vista Capital Advantage variable annuity may be subject to a 10% IRS tax penalty, and are taxed as ordinary income. 12 [GRAPHIC] MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO (UNAUDITED) THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO SEEKS TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM CURRENT INCOME CONSISTENT WITH PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL AND MAINTENANCE OF LIQUIDITY. HOW THE PORTFOLIO PERFORMED For the year ended August 31, 2001, the Money Market Portfolio had a total return of 5.05% and, at the end of the year, had a 7-day SEC Yield (including waivers) of 3.20%. HOW THE PORTFOLIO WAS MANAGED Short-term fixed income securities generally gained ground in late 2000 in light of the uncertain prospects for the U.S. economy. Economic data pointing to a cooling economy led the management team to maintain its weighted average maturity, and this contributed to performance. When the Fed began its series of aggressive short-term interest rate cuts on January 3, 2001, the management team continued the policy it had begun in late 2000 of adding to weighted average maturity in the belief that the Fed was in the midst of a multi-step easing process. As such, for the remainder of the reporting period, the Portfolio was generally positioned for lower short-term rates with a longer-than-benchmark duration and a bias towards yield curve steepening. LOOKING AHEAD With most components of the U.S. economy already being very weak, the incremental impact of the events of September 11 will likely be significant. Growing labor and equity market weakness had already begun to affect the vulnerable consumer sector, and it is likely that the economy had moved into recession. Both the Fed and our leaders in Washington have clearly stated that they will do whatever is necessary to stabilize the economy, rebuild and effectively address the terrorist threat. It is likely that the Fed will lower the Fed Funds rate to the 2% to 2.5% range by the first quarter of 2002, and the government will provide substantial fiscal stimulus in the form of funding for rebuilding and increased military spending. The yield curve will likely continue to steepen with short- and intermediate-term rates declining further. The Portfolio will continue to be managed with an eye on economic growth and potential Fed moves. AN INVESTMENT IN THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO IS NOT INSURED BY THE FDIC OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY. ALTHOUGH PORTFOLIO SHARES STRIVE TO PRESERVE THE VALUE OF THE INVESTMENT AT $1.00 PER SHARE, IT IS POSSIBLE TO LOSE MONEY BY INVESTING IN THIS PORTFOLIO. WITHDRAWALS PRIOR TO AGE 59 1/2 FROM THE VISTA CAPITAL ADVANTAGE VARIABLE ANNUITY MAY BE SUBJECT TO A 10% IRS TAX PENALTY, AND ARE TAXED AS ORDINARY INCOME. 13 [GRAPHIC] GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS AUGUST 31, 2001

++ On 12/27/96, the Portfolio changed its name from U.S. Treasury Income Portfolio to U.S. Government Income Portfolio. SEE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 29 [GRAPHIC] NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--Mutual Fund Variable Annuity Trust (the "Trust") was organized on April 14, 1994 as a Massachusetts business trust, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was established to provide a funding medium for variable annuity contracts issued by life insurance companies. Shares of the Trust are issued only to insurance company separate accounts in connection with variable annuity contracts. The Trust issues six separate series of shares (the "Portfolio(s)"), each of which represents a separately managed portfolio of securities with its own investment objectives. The Portfolios are the Growth and Income Portfolio ("GIP"), Capital Growth Portfolio ("CGP"), International Equity Portfolio ("IEP"), Asset Allocation Portfolio ("AAP"), U.S. Government Income Portfolio ("USGIP") and Money Market Portfolio ("MMP"). THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOLLOWED BY THE PORTFOLIOS: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS--Equity securities and options are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded, including the NASDAQ National Market. Securities for which sale prices are not available and other over-the-counter securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Except for MMP, bonds and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations), including listed issues, are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service. In making such valuations, the pricing service utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices. Short-term obligations are valued at amortized cost if acquired with fewer than 61 days to maturity, or at value, based on quoted exchange or over-the-counter prices, until the 61st day prior to maturity and thereafter by amortizing the value on the 61st day to par at maturity. Money market instruments held by MMP are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The Trust's use of amortized cost is subject to the Trust's compliance with certain conditions as specified under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Portfolio securities for which there are no such quotations or valuations are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Investment transactions are accounted for as of the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Purchases of to be announced (TBA), when-issued or delayed delivery securities may be settled a month or more after the trade date; interest income is not accrued until settlement date. Each Fund segregates assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of its TBA, when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. C. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--It is the Portfolios' policy that all repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities. All collateral is held by the Portfolio's custodian bank, sub-custodian or a bank with which the custodian bank has entered into a sub-custodian agreement or is segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System. If the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the seller enters into an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Portfolio may be delayed or limited. D. FUTURES CONTRACTS--When a Portfolio enters into a futures contract, it makes an initial margin deposit in a segregated account, either in cash or liquid securities. Thereafter, the futures contract is marked to market and the Portfolio makes (or receives) additional cash payments daily to (or from) the broker. Changes in the value of the contract are recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation until the contract is closed or settled. The Portfolios may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures 30 [GRAPHIC] transaction; therefore, the Portfolio's credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. IEP may invest a portion of its liquid assets in index futures contracts to control the asset mix of the Portfolio in the most efficient manner. This allows the fund manager to more fully participate in the market, adjusting country exposures while incurring minimal transaction costs. Long index futures contracts are used to gain exposure to equities when the fund manager anticipates that this will be more efficient than buying stocks directly. The use of long futures contracts subjects the Portfolio to risk of loss up to the amount of the value of the contract. Short index futures contracts are used for hedging purposes (to reduce the exposure to equities). The use of short futures contracts subjects the Portfolio to unlimited risk of loss. AAP may invest in interest rate futures contracts as a hedge against rate risk or to change the duration of the fixed income components of the Portfolio. As of August 31, 2001, AAP had open futures contracts as shown on the Portfolio of Investments. E. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS--The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the official exchange rates, or at the mean of the current bid and asked prices of such currencies against the U.S. dollar last quoted by a major bank on the following basis: (1) Market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities: at the closing rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. (2) Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses: at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Reported realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from disposition of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolios' books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies which are held at period end. F. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS--A forward foreign currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed price at a future date. Each day the forward contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market." When the forward contract is closed, or the delivery of the currency is made or taken, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Portfolio's basis in the contract. The Portfolios are subject to off balance sheet risk to the extent of the value of the contract for purchases of currency and in an unlimited amount for sales of currency. G. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS--It is each Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required. H. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS--The Portfolios record dividends and distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment. The reclassifications for IEP relates primarily to over distribution of capital gains. The following accounts were increased or decreased as shown below:
IEP --- Paid in capital $26,116 Accumulated undistributed (overdistributed) net investment income (9,492) Accumulated net realized gain (loss) in investments and futures transactions (16,624)
I. EXPENSES--Direct expenses of a Portfolio are charged to the respective Portfolio. General Trust expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets or on another reasonable basis. 31 [GRAPHIC] 2. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES A.

6. CONCENTRATION OF SHAREHOLDERS As of August 31, 2001, all shares outstanding for each Portfolio are owned either directly or indirectly by a single insurance company. 7. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK As of August 31, 2001, MMP invested 27.5% of their net assets in securities issued by institutions in the financial services industry including banks, broker dealers and insurance companies. General economic conditions, as well as exposure to credit losses arising from possible financial difficulties of borrowers, play an important role in the operation of the financial services industry. IEP invested 18.4% and 28.4% of its total investments in Japan and the United Kingdom, respectively. The issuers' abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic or political developments in a specific country or region. 8. BANK BORROWINGS IEP may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes. Any borrowings representing more than 5% of IEP's total assets must be repaid before IEP may make additional investments. IEP has entered into an agreement, enabling it to participate with other JPMorgan Funds in an unsecured line of credit with a syndicate of banks, which permits borrowings up to $350 million, collectively. Interest is charged to IEP based on its borrowings at an annual rate equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. IEP also pays a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum on the average daily amount of the available commitment, which is allocated on a pro-rata basis to IEP. The commitment fee is included in Other expenses on the Statement of Operations. Borrowings are payable on demand. IEP had no borrowings outstanding as of August 31, 2001, nor at any time during the year then ended. 9. CORPORATE EVENT The merger of the J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated with and into The Chase Manhattan Corporation (renamed J.P. Morgan Chase and Co.), the parent of the Funds' Advisor, JPMFAM, was consummated on December 31, 2000. JPMFAM continues to serve as the Funds' Advisor. 34 [GRAPHIC] REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Trustees and Shareholders of Mutual Fund Variable Annuity Trust In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Growth and Income Portfolio, Capital Growth Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, Asset Allocation Portfolio, U.S. Government Income Portfolio and Money Market Portfolio (separate portfolios constituting Mutual Fund Variable Annuity Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Trust") at August 31, 2001, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2001 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
