</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><u><B>Market review:</B></u>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Taiwan Stock Exchange Index (&#147;TAIEX&#148;) rose 0.41 % in U.S. dollar terms in July on increasing liquidity. Average daily turnover increased
another 14% month on month to NT$95.4&nbsp;billion. Foreign investors remained net buyers and net bought NT$34.9&nbsp;billion while local mutual funds
remained net sellers and net sold NT$9.2&nbsp;billion. Proprietary traders also turned net sellers and net sold NT$2&nbsp;billion. On the economic front, the
unexpected announcement by the Peoples Republic of China to adopt a &#147;managed&#148; floating system for its currency Reminbi (&#147;Rmb&#148;) caused selling
pressure to technology stocks on concerns over increasing cost pressure for downstream hardware technology companies which have shifted a big
portion of their manufacturing base to Mainland China. Taiwan domestic consumption plays, on the other hand, are seen as beneficiaries on assumption
that its local currency would also appreciate together with the Rmb. In terms of sector performance, technology sector was the best performer driven
by continued foreign buying who are still underweight the new benchmark after Morgan Stanley Capital International&#146;s (&#147;MSCI&#148;) reweighting. Banking
sector outperformed slightly as market hopes that a deal between two local banks, Taishin and Chang Hwa, could trigger further consolidation of the
sector. On the other hand, the traditional cyclical sectors such as steel, plastic and transportation were the worst performers as investors anticipated a
down turn of the cycle ahead and took money off the table after dividend payment. The amount of margin outstanding expanded another 9.2% to
NT$224billion (representing 1.5% of total market capitalization). This may reflect a slight recovery in retail sentiment.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U><B>Fund Performance Review:</B></U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Fund outperformed its benchmark by 4.71% in July. Overweight positions in handset and Integrated Circuit (&#147;IC&#148;) design contributed positively to
performance. On the other hand, the overweight position in Liquid Crystal Display (&#147;LCD&#148;) panels brought negative contribution to performance.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U><B>Investment Strategy:</B></U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Considering the slowing demand from China and increasing supply from new capacities, cyclical sectors may already peak out and may have margin
contraction and earnings decline in the coming few quarters. We therefore underweight the industrial cyclical sectors, like steel, petrochemical, paper
and textile. On the other hand, there are more good news from the technology sector, including rising utilization rate in most semiconductor companies,
strong demand of notebook PC, handsets and LCD panels and upcoming peak season of consumer electronics products. Most technology companies
continued to deliver stronger than expected sales and corporates gave out positive guidance for the coming two quarters. Therefore, we expect that
share prices of technology companies should continue outperforming in the coming months. Considering the improving sentiment toward Cross-Strait
relations and continuing foreign buying, the market may have 5 to 10% upside before the end of 2005. We plan to remain overweight in the technology
sector;
especially semiconductor, handset and consumer electronics related shares and continue to underweight industrial cyclicals. Our main focus will be
technology stocks with good value and stable earnings growth in second half of 2005. We will also continue to identify good small-cap companies and
add some weighting for quality small-caps with growth potential in the coming year.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">*Returns for the Fund are historical total returns that reflect changes in net asset value
per share during each period and assume that dividends and capital gains, if any, were
reinvested. Returns for the Taiwan Stock Exchange Index (&#147;TAIEX&#148;) are not total returns and
reflect only changes in share price but do not assume that cash dividends, if any, were
reinvested, and thus are not strictly comparable to the Fund returns. Past performance is not
indicative of future results of the Fund. Returns are annualized, except for periods of less
than one year which are not annualized.
