Declining oil prices and better-than-expected economic reports, regarding both employment and retail sales in the United States, added to the bullish sentiment. Equities were relatively unaffected by the volatility in the currency markets, as the ongoing weakness in the U.S. dollar accelerated and many world currencies reached multi-year highs, versus the dollar. The rally was broad-based with all sectors participating, although the materials sector outperformed amid rebounding commodity prices, and health care continued to lag. On a regional basis, the rally was also broad-based with every country in the MSCI World Index rising, in local currency terms, and Europe outperformed. International stocks ended 2004 with their best quarterly performance of the year as oil prices crested, easing concerns that higher energy costs would restrain earnings and economic growth. The rally started right after the U.S. presidential election, as uncertainty over the election's outcome, as well as its definitiveness, was lifted. On a regional basis, markets in the 12-country euro region, helped by gains in their common currency, were among the MSCI EAFE Index's best performers for the quarter, led by Austria, France, and Germany. U.K. stocks trailed other euro regions due to declines in energy shares, as oil prices fell, and to losses experienced by drug makers after Merck & Co. recalled its Vioxx painkiller. Japanese stocks also lagged, as Japan's economy stalled and the yen reached a four-year high during the quarter. From a sector perspective, the rally was broad based, although health care and energy stocks lagged the broad market while technology and finance outperformed modestly. International stocks declined modestly in January, which is somewhat surprising as it is typically a strong period for equities. Oil prices, which many believed to be last year's problem, rose again. From a sector perspective, the decline was somewhat mixed as industrials was the best performing sector and information technology continued to lag. Telecom services also performed poorly, even with the recent acceleration of merger activity in the sector. From a regional perspective, the decline was fairly consistent in the major regions. International markets were strong during February, erasing much of the losses from January. Markets pulled back mid-month, as oil prices continued to rise and investors witnessed the outlook for inflation pick-up, before surging in the last few days of the month. However, business confidence in both Germany and Italy declined. Performing similarly, European, Australasia, and U.K. stock markets outperformed those in Japan. From a sector perspective, energy dramatically outperformed the market as the price of oil rose sharply in February. Materials was one of the best performing sectors. International markets were up modestly for the first quarter 2005, in local currency terms. However, returns in U.S. dollars were depressed for unhedged investors due to a rebound in the dollar. In March, the U.S. Federal Reserve cited increasing inflation pressures and evidence of pricing power, which led investors to believe that more aggressive monetary tightening might lie ahead. Economic news from Japan was disappointing, causing Japanese stocks to lag. Most other Asian markets lagged modestly while Europe outperformed. From a sector perspective, defensive stocks, such as consumer staples and utilities, held up while pharmaceutical stocks did not. Information technology and telecom services stocks also lagged, as they were the worst performing sectors during the quarter. Energy was the best performer as the price of oil rebounded, ending the quarter slightly off its 2004 peak. International equity markets continued to fall in April, making it the third down month of the year. Signs of slowing economic growth were reinforced when, late in the month, the U.S. Commerce Department announced that GDP, in the first quarter of 2005, was below expectations and the slowest pace in two years. More evidence of a global slowdown came from Japan, as consumer confidence was below expectations. Global large cap stocks outperformed both mid and small caps, reversing a trend that has been in place for an extended period. Merger activity remained robust, particularly in the U.S. energy sector, as ChevronTexaco and Valero Energy announced plans to acquire Unocal and Premcor, respectively. From a sector perspective, defensive sectors such as consumer staples, health care, and utilities all outperformed during the month as the broader market declined. Materials and industrials lagged due to concerns over a slowing economy. Consumer discretionary also lagged during the month. Regionally, most Asian countries posted positive returns except Japan, while most European countries lagged. 2 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND(SM) April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Institutional Class of the International Equity Fund returned 7.86% for the six months ended April 30, 2005. The Fund underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index ("Index") return of 8.71% and the Lipper International Funds Index return of 8.01%. <Table> <Caption> ANNUALIZED TOTAL RETURNS -------------------------------------- PERIODS ENDED 4/30/05 -------------------------------------- 6 MONTHS 1 YEAR 5 YEARS 10 YEARS -------- ------ ------- -------- Institutional Class(1)..... 7.86% 16.50% 4.71% 9.49% PlanAhead Class(1)......... 7.72% 16.23% 4.53% 9.22% Service Class(1,2)......... 7.62% 15.94% 4.41% 9.16% AMR Class(1)............... 8.06% 16.87% 4.98% 9.77% Lipper Int'l. Funds Index..................... 8.01% 13.43% -0.24% 6.80% MSCI EAFE Index............ 8.71% 14.95% -0.55% 4.77% </Table> The MSCI EAFE Index is a market capitalization weighted index of international stock performance composed of equities from developed markets excluding the U.S. and Canada. 1. Performance shown is historical and may not be indicative of future returns. Investment returns and principal value will vary, and shares may be worth more or less at redemption than at original purchase. Performance shown is as of date indicated and may differ from current performance. To obtain performance as of the most recent month end, please visit www.americanbeaconfunds.com or call 1-800-967-9009. Fund performance in the table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of shares. 2. Fund performance for the five-year and ten-year periods represents the total returns achieved by the PlanAhead Class from 4/30/95 up to 5/1/03, the inception date of the Service Class, and the returns of the Service Class since its inception. Expenses of the Service Class are higher than those of the PlanAhead Class. As a result, total returns shown may be higher than they would have been had the Service Class been in existence since 4/30/95. The Fund underperformed the Index over the past six months primarily due to timing differences in currency pricing between the Fund (4 p.m. Eastern time) and the Index (4 p.m. London time), Fund expenses and unfavorable country allocation. Country allocation detracted value as the Fund had a nearly 4% underweighting in Australia versus the Index and the Australian market gained 13.8% during the period. Additionally, the Fund had a nearly 2% overweighting to Ireland and the Irish market was the worst performing, and only, EAFE market with a negative return (-0.5%) for the period. Stock selection was positive in the United Kingdom and France, but was largely offset by negative selection in Japan and Singapore. In the U.K., significant positions in GlaxoSmithKline, British American Tobacco, BHP Billiton and Cadbury Schweppes added value as each gained over 20% for the period. In France, the Fund's largest holding during the period, Sanofi-Synthelabo, also gained over 20% for the six month time period. Konica Minolta, which dropped approximately 27%, was the biggest disappointment in Japan, while Creative Technology (down approximately 20%) contributed to the weak stock selections in Singapore during the period. Although economic and market conditions vary from period to period, the Fund's primary strategy remains consistent as it focuses on investing in undervalued companies with above-average earnings growth expectations. Investing in foreign equities entails additional risk not associated with domestic equities, such as currency fluctuations, economic and political instability and differences in accounting standards. 3 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND(SM) -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP TEN HOLDINGS <Table> <Caption> % OF NET ASSETS ---------- Sanofi-Synthelabo 2.4% GlaxoSmithKline plc 2.2% Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc 1.9% Total S.A. 1.9% Koninklijke (Royal) Philips Electronics N.V. 1.7% Unilever plc 1.5% Diageo plc 1.5% Royal Dutch Petroleum Company 1.3% BAE Systems plc 1.3% Nestle SA 1.3% </Table> SECTOR ALLOCATION <Table> <Caption> % OF EQUITIES -------- Financials 24.6% Consumer Discretionary 13.3% Industrials 12.0% Health Care 9.3% Consumer Staples 8.9% Telecommunication Services 8.6% Energy 8.1% Materials 6.8% Information Technology 4.5% Utilities 3.9% </Table> REGIONAL ALLOCATION* (PIE CHART) <Table> <Caption> EUROPE PACIFIC RIM NORTH AMERICA CENTRAL AMERICA - --------------------- ----------- ------------- --------------- 75.4% 22.7% 1.7% 0.2% </Table> * Allocation based upon gross investments in American Beacon Master Trust International Equity Portfolio. FUND EXPENSE EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative service fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period in each Class and held for the entire period from November 1, 2004 through April 30, 2005. ACTUAL EXPENSES The "Actual" lines of the table provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Shareholders of the PlanAhead and Institutional Classes that invest in the Fund through an IRA may be subject to a custodial IRA fee of $12 that is typically deducted each December. If your account was subject to a custodial IRA fee during the period, your costs would have been $12 higher. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The "Hypothetical" lines of the table provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the Fund's actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. Shareholders of the PlanAhead and Institutional Classes that invest in the Fund through an IRA 4 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND(SM) -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- may be subject to a custodial IRA fee of $12 that is typically deducted each December. If your account was subject to a custodial IRA fee during the period, your costs would have been $12 higher. You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs charged by the Fund, such as redemption fees. Similarly, the expense examples for other funds do not reflect any transaction costs charged by those funds, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the "Hypothetical" lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If you were subject to any transaction costs during the period, your costs would have been higher. <Table> <Caption> BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES PAID ACCOUNT ACCOUNT DURING PERIOD* VALUE VALUE 11/1/04- 11/1/04 4/30/05 4/30/05 --------- --------- --------------- INSTITUTIONAL CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,078.62 $3.66 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,021.27 $3.56 (5% return before expenses) PLANAHEAD CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,077.25 $4.96 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,020.02 $4.82 (5% return before expenses) SERVICE CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,076.17 $6.34 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,018.69 $6.16 (5% return before expenses) AMR CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,080.62 $2.30 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,022.58 $2.24 (5% return before expenses) </Table> * Expense amounts are inclusive of the Fund's proportionate share of expenses of the American Beacon Master Trust International Equity Portfolio. Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratios for the six-month period of 0.71%, 0.96%, 1.23%, 0.45%, for the Institutional, PlanAhead, Service, and AMR Classes, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number derived by dividing the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (181) by days in the year (365) to reflect the half-year period. 5 AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) (in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Table> ASSETS: Investments in Portfolio, at value...................... $ 2,148,472 Receivable for fund shares sold......................... 4,463 ----------- TOTAL ASSETS........................................ 2,152,935 ----------- LIABILITIES: Payable for fund shares redeemed........................ 4,225 Administrative service and service fees payable......... 324 Other liabilities....................................... 266 ----------- TOTAL LIABILITIES................................... 4,815 ----------- NET ASSETS.................................................. $ 2,148,120 =========== ANALYSIS OF NET ASSETS: Paid-in-capital......................................... 1,766,276 Undistributed net investment income..................... 16,829 Accumulated net realized gain (loss).................... 52,316 Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, futures contracts and foreign currency................. 312,699 ----------- NET ASSETS.................................................. $ 2,148,120 =========== Shares outstanding (no par value): Institutional Class..................................... 57,792,728 =========== PlanAhead Class......................................... 23,980,691 =========== Service Class........................................... 124,374 =========== AMR Class............................................... 27,298,732 =========== Net asset value, offering and redemption price per share: Institutional Class..................................... $ 19.68 =========== PlanAhead Class......................................... $ 19.52 =========== Service Class........................................... $ 19.38 =========== AMR Class............................................... $ 19.79 =========== </Table> See accompanying notes - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS Six Months Ended April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) (in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Table> INVESTMENT INCOME: Investment income allocated from the Portfolio.......... $ 29,188 Expenses allocated from the Portfolio...................

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES American Beacon Funds (the "Trust"), formerly known as the American AAdvantage Funds, is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended, as a no load, open-end management investment company. These financial statements and notes to the financial statements relate to the American Beacon International Equity Fund, a series of the Trust. American Beacon Advisors, Inc. (the "Manager"), formerly known as AMR Investment Services, Inc., is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, Inc. ("American"), and was organized in 1986 to provide business management, advisory, administrative and asset management consulting services to the Trust and other investors. The American Beacon International Equity Fund (the "Fund") invests all of its investable assets in the International Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") of the American Beacon Master Trust, which has the same investment objectives as the Fund. The Portfolio is an open-end management investment company registered under the Act. The value of the investment in the Portfolio reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the Portfolio. At April 30, 2005 the Fund's investment was 95.9% of the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including Notes to Financial Statements, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund's financial statements. The Notes to Financial Statements of the Portfolio include a discussion of investment valuation, security transactions and investment income, the management agreement and securities lending. Class Disclosure The Fund has multiple classes of shares designed to meet the needs of different groups of investors. The following table sets forth the differences amongst the classes: <Table> <Caption> CLASS: OFFERED TO: SERVICE AND DISTRIBUTION FEES: - ------ ----------- ------------------------------ INSTITUTIONAL CLASS Investors making an initial investment of $2 million Administrative Service 0.25% Fee -- PLANAHEAD CLASS General public and investors investing through an Administrative Service 0.25% intermediary Fee -- 0.25% Service Fee -- SERVICE CLASS Investors investing through an intermediary Administrative Service 0.25% Fee -- 0.25% Service Fee -- 0.25% Distribution Fee -- AMR CLASS Investors in the tax-exempt retirement and benefit plans of N/A AMR Corporation and its affiliates </Table> Investment income, net capital gains (losses) and all expenses incurred by the Fund are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class, except for service fees and certain other fees and expenses related solely to one class of shares. Security Valuation The Fund records its investment in the Portfolio at fair value. Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1 of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Redemption Fees The Fund imposes a 2% redemption fee on certain Institutional, PlanAhead and Service Class shares held for less than 30 days. The fee is deducted from the redemption proceeds and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term trading activity in the Fund. The "first-in, first-out" method is used to determine the holding period. Investment Income The Fund records its share of net investment income and realized and unrealized gain (loss) in the Portfolio each day. All net investment income and realized and unrealized gain (loss) of the Portfolio is allocated pro rata among the Fund and other investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination. Dividends to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income of the Fund normally will be declared and paid annually. Distributions, if any, of net realized capital gains are generally paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 estimated. Other Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnification to the other party or parties against potential costs or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated. The Trust has had no prior claims or losses pursuant to any such agreement. 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Administrative Services Agreement The Manager and the Trust entered into an Administrative Services Agreement that obligates the Manager to provide or oversee administrative and management services to the Fund. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Manager - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- receives an annualized fee of .25% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional, PlanAhead and Service Classes of the Fund. Distribution Plans The Trust, except for the Service Class of the Funds, has adopted a "defensive" Distribution Plan (the "Plan") in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, pursuant to which no fees may be charged to the Funds for distribution purposes. However, the Plan authorizes the management fees received by the Manager and the investment advisors hired by the Manager to be used for distribution purposes. Under this Plan, the Trust does not intend to compensate the Manager or any other party, either directly or indirectly, for the distribution of Trust shares. A separate Distribution Plan (the "Distribution Plan") has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act for the Service Class of the Fund. Under the Distribution Plan, as compensation for distribution assistance, the Manager receives an annual fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class. The fee will be payable without regard to whether the amount of the fee is more or less than the actual expenses incurred in a particular month by the Manager for distribution assistance. Service Plans The Manager and the Trust entered into Service Plans that obligate the Manager to oversee additional shareholder servicing of the PlanAhead and Service Classes. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Service Plans, the Manager receives 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the PlanAhead and Service Classes of the Fund. Other Certain officers or Trustees of the Trust are also current or former officers or employees of the Manager or American. The Trust makes no direct payments to its officers. Mr. Feld and the non-interested Trustees (other than Mr. O'Sullivan) and their spouses are provided free unlimited air transportation on American. Retired Trustees and their spouses are provided free air transportation on American, up to a maximum annual value of $40,000. The Trust compensates each Trustee with payments in an amount equal to the Trustee's income tax on the value of this free airline travel. Mr. O'Sullivan, as a retiree of American, already receives flight benefits. Mr. O'Sullivan receives an annual retainer of $40,000 plus $1,250 for each Board meeting attended. At April 30, 2005, AMR Corporation and subsidiary companies and Employee Benefit Trusts thereof owned 100% of AMR Class shares of the Fund. During the period ended April 30, 2005, a subadvisor voluntarily reimbursed the Portfolio for the loss associated with a rights offering that expired totaling $383,000. The shares that would have been acquired through a full exercise of the rights were subsequently purchased on the open market. The subadvisor reimbursed the Portfolio for the appreciation of the shares over the exercise price, transaction costs and foreign exchange costs incurred in making this purchase in the open market. This reimbursement is reflected in the gain/loss section of the Statement of Operations. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11 AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interfund Lending Program Pursuant to an exemptive order by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with the Manager, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating Funds. At April 30, 2005, the Fund had not utilized the credit facility. 3. FEDERAL INCOME AND EXCISE TAXES It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all net investment income as well as any net realized capital gains on the sale of investments. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. Dividends are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may treat certain transactions differently than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The tax character of distributions during the six months ended April 30, 2005 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 were as follows (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> SIX MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2005 OCTOBER 31, 2004 -------------- ---------------- (UNAUDITED) DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM: ORDINARY INCOME Institutional Class..................................... $13,529 $19,224 PlanAhead Class......................................... 4,004 4,201 Service Class........................................... 22 -- AMR Class............................................... 7,644 9,135 LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAIN Institutional Class..................................... -- -- PlanAhead Class......................................... -- -- Service Class........................................... -- -- AMR Class............................................... -- -- ------- ------- TOTAL DISTRIBUTIONS PAID............................ $25,199 $32,560 ------- ------- </Table> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12 AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As of April 30, 2005, the components of distributable earnings were as follows (in thousands): <Table> Cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes... $2,377,001 Unrealized appreciation..................................... 340,042 Unrealized depreciation..................................... (35,365) ---------- Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).................. 304,677 Undistributed ordinary income............................... 18,742 Undistributed long-term gain/(loss)......................... 64,889 ---------- Distributable earnings...................................... $ 388,308 ========== </Table> Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. The temporary differences between financial reporting and tax-basis reporting of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses from wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/(losses) on certain derivative instruments, book amortization for premiums, and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/(losses) on investments in passive foreign investment companies. Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses and realized gains/losses under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and federal income tax purposes, permanent differences between book and tax reporting have been identified and appropriately reclassified on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Accordingly, the following amounts represent current year permanent differences that have been reclassified as of October 31, 2004 (in thousands): <Table> Paid-in-capital............................................. $ 525 Undistributed net investment income......................... 9,180 Accumulated net realized gain (loss)........................

During the six months ended April 30, 2005, the fund utilized $33,901,000 of capital loss carryforwards. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13 AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES American Beacon Master Trust (the "Trust"), formerly known as AMR Investment Services Trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, open-end management investment company that was organized as a trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated as of November 1, 2004. Prior to November 1, 2004, the Trust was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York. The American Beacon Master Trust International Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is one of the portfolios of the Trust. The Portfolio commenced active operations on November 1, 1995. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees (the "Board") to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio. American Beacon Advisors, Inc. (the "Manager"), formerly known as AMR Investment Services, Inc., is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, Inc. ("American"), and was organized in 1986 to provide business management, advisory, administrative and asset management consulting services. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolio. Security Valuation Investments are valued at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the Exchange is open for business. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities (other than short-term securities) normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service and may take into account appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. When a price is unavailable from a pricing service or when the price provided by the pricing service is deemed not to represent fair value, the prices of debt securities may be determined using quotes obtained from brokers. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of the mutual fund on the day of valuation. Investment grade short-term obligations with 60 days or less to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method which approximates market value. Securities for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. Most foreign markets close before the Exchange. Developments that could affect the values of securities that occur between the close of a foreign market and the close of the Exchange normally will not be reflected in security valuations. If such developments are so significant such that they will, in the judgement of the pricing committee of the Portfolio, clearly and materially affect the value of securities, the previous closing prices may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the securities as of the close of the Exchange, as determined in good faith and pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 26 AMERICAN BEACON MASTER TRUST INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Security Transactions and Investment Income Security transactions are recorded on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. The Portfolio may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date. At the time the Portfolio enters into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in the net asset value. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the information is available to the Portfolio. Interest income is earned from settlement date, recorded on the accrual basis, and adjusted, if necessary, for accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific lot identification. There is uncertainty regarding the collectibility of tax reclaims by the Portfolio due to its partnership status for federal income tax purposes. As such, the Portfolio did not accrue tax reclaims totaling $1,003,094 during the period. Upon determination of the Portfolio's entitlement to benefits under foreign tax treaties, if any, tax reclaim income will be accrued. Currency Translation All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currency values are converted into U.S. dollar values at the mean of the bid and ask prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as last quoted by a recognized dealer. Income, expenses and purchases and sales of investments are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and is reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Portfolio's Statement of Operations. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk on investment transactions or to hedge the value of portfolio securities denominated in foreign currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the forward exchange rate prevailing on the day of valuation. The Portfolio bears the market risk that arises from changes in foreign exchange rates, and accordingly, the unrealized gain (loss) on these contracts is reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Portfolio also bears the credit risk if the counterparty fails to perform under the contract. Futures Contracts The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts which are contracts to buy a standard quantity of securities at a specified price on a future date. The Portfolio may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts as a method for keeping assets readily convertible to cash if needed to meet shareholder redemptions or for other needs while maintaining exposure to the stock market. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the values of the contracts and the underlying securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 27 AMERICAN BEACON MASTER TRUST INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to set aside or deposit with a broker an amount, termed the initial margin, which typically represents 5% of the face value of the futures contract. The initial margin amount is reflected as Deposit with broker for futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments to and from the broker, known as variation margin, are required to be made on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates. Changes in initial settlement values are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price established each day by the exchange on which they are traded. Federal Income and Excise Taxes The Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor will be taxed on its share of the Portfolio's ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that the Portfolio's assets will be managed in such a way that an investor in the Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 estimated. Other Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnification to the other party or parties against potential costs or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated. The Trust has had no prior claims or losses pursuant to any such agreement. 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Management Agreement The Trust and the Manager are parties to a Management Agreement that obligates the Manager to provide or oversee the provision of all administrative, investment advisory, portfolio management and securities lending services. Investment assets of the Portfolio are managed by multiple investment advisors which have entered into separate investment advisory agreements with the Manager. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Management Agreement, the Manager receives from the Portfolio an annualized fee equal to ..10% of the average daily net assets plus amounts paid by the Manager to the investment advisors hired by the Manager to direct investment activities of the Portfolio. Management fees paid during the period were as follows (dollars in thousands): <Table> <Caption> AMOUNTS PAID TO NET AMOUNTS MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT RETAINED BY FEE RATE FEE ADVISORS MANAGER - ---------- ---------- --------------- ----------- ..25%-.60% $3,739 $2,660 $1,079 </Table> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 28 AMERICAN BEACON MASTER TRUST INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As compensation for services provided by the Manager in connection with securities lending activities, the Portfolio pays to the Manager, with respect to cash collateral posted by borrowers, a fee up to 25% of the net monthly interest income (the gross interest income earned by the investment of cash collateral, less the amount paid to borrowers and related expenses) from such activities and, with respect to loan fees paid by borrowers when a borrower posts collateral other than cash, a fee up to 25% of such loan fees. During the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Portfolio paid securities lending fees of $149,000 to the Manager. Investment in Affiliated Funds The Portfolio is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and approved procedures by the Board, to invest up to 25% of its total assets in the American Beacon Money Market Select Fund (the "Select Fund"), an affiliated fund. The Portfolio and the Select Fund have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. Cash collateral received by the Portfolio in connection with securities lending may be invested in the Select Fund and the American Beacon Enhanced Cash Trust (collectively, the "Affiliated Funds"). The Manager serves as Trustee and investment advisor to the Affiliated Funds and receives an annualized fee equal to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Affiliated Funds. During the period, the Manager earned fees from the Affiliated Funds totaling $71,225 on the Portfolio's direct investment in the Affiliated Funds, and $218,265 from securities lending collateral invested in the Affiliated Funds. During the period, the Fund had purchases of $649,620,000 and sales of $682,868,000, for an ending balance of $97,483,000, excluding balances held in the securities lending collateral account. Interfund Lending Program Pursuant to an exemptive order by the SEC, the Portfolio, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with the Manager, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Portfolio to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating series managed by the Manager. At April 30, 2005, the Portfolio had not utilized the credit facility. Other Certain officers or Trustees of the Trust are also current or former officers or employees of the Manager or American. The Trust makes no direct payments to its officers. Mr. Feld and the non-interested Trustees (other than Mr. O'Sullivan) and their spouses are provided free unlimited air transportation on American. Retired Trustees and their spouses are provided free air transportation on American, up to a maximum annual value of $40,000. The Trust compensates each Trustee with payments in an amount equal to the Trustee's income tax on the value of this free airline travel. Mr. O'Sullivan, as a retiree of American, already receives flight benefits. Mr. O'Sullivan receives an annual retainer of $40,000 plus $1,250 for each Board meeting attended. During the period ended April 30, 2005, a subadvisor voluntarily reimbursed the Portfolio for the loss associated with a rights offering that expired totaling $383,000. The shares that would have been acquired through a full exercise of the rights were subsequently purchased on the open markets. The subadvisor reimbursed the Portfolio for the appreciation of the shares over the exercise - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 29 AMERICAN BEACON MASTER TRUST INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- price, transaction costs and foreign exchange costs incurred in making this purchase in the open market. This reimbursement is reflected in the gain/loss section of the Statement of Operations. 3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, (in thousands), for the six months ended April 30, 2005 were $646,378 and $364,771, respectively. 4. SECURITIES LENDING The Portfolio may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income. The borrowers are required to secure their loans continuously with collateral in an amount at least equal to 102% (for loans of US securities) or 105% (for non-US securities) of the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. Collateral is marked to market and monitored daily. To the extent that a loan is collateralized by cash, such collateral shall be invested by the securities lending agent (the "Agent") in short-term instruments, money market mutual funds, and such other short-term investments, provided the investments meet certain quality and diversification requirements. Income generated from the investment of cash collateral, less negotiated rebate fees paid to participating brokers and transaction costs, is divided between the Portfolio and the Agent and is recorded as income for the Portfolio. To the extent that a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, brokers pay the Portfolio negotiated lenders' fees, which are divided between the Portfolio and the Agent and are recorded as securities lending income for the Portfolio. The Portfolio also continues to receive income on the securities loaned, and any gain or loss in the market prices of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. Risks to the Portfolio in securities lending transactions are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. At April 30, 2005, securities with a market value of approximately $557,192,000 were loaned by the Portfolio. Cash collateral held by the custodian for the Portfolio in an investment in the Affiliated Funds totaled $585,721,000. 5. COMMISSION RECAPTURE The Portfolio has established brokerage commission recapture arrangements with certain brokers or dealers. If a Portfolio investment advisor chooses to execute a transaction through a participating broker, the broker rebates a portion of the commission back to the Portfolio. Any collateral benefit received through participation in the commission recapture program is directed exclusively to the Portfolio. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT OF THE FUND (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Renewal of Management Agreement and Investment Advisory Agreements At their February 23, 2005 meeting, the Trustees considered the renewal of the existing Management Agreement between the Manager and the Fund and each Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the sub-advisors. As part of the renewal process, legal counsel to the Trusts and the independent Trustees sent information request letters to the Manager and each sub-advisor seeking certain relevant information. The responses by the Manager and sub-advisors were provided to the Trustees for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees were provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Trustees considered, among other materials, responses by the Manager and the sub-advisors to inquiries requesting: - a description of any significant changes (actual or anticipated) to principal activities, personnel, services provided to the Fund, or any other area, including how these changes might affect the Fund; - a copy of the firm's most recent audited or unaudited financial statements as well as Parts I and II of its Form ADV; - a summary of any material past, pending or anticipated litigation or regulatory proceedings involving the firm or its personnel, including the results of any recent regulatory examination or independent audit; - a comparison of the performance of that portion of Fund assets managed by each firm with performance of other similar accounts managed by the firm, including a discussion of relative performance versus a peer group average and any remedial measures if the firm's performance was materially below that of the peer group; - a cost/profitability analysis of the firm and any actual or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services it provides to the Fund, if available; - an analysis of compensation, including a comparison with fees charged to other clients for which similar services are provided, any proposed changes to the fee schedule and the effect of any fee waivers; - an evaluation of any other benefits to the firm or Fund as a result of their relationship, if any; - a description of the scope of portfolio management services provided to the Fund, including whether such services differ from the services provided to other clients, including other registered investment companies; - a description of the personnel who are assigned primary responsibility for managing the Fund, including any changes during the past year; - a description of the basis upon which portfolio managers are compensated, including any "incentive" arrangements; - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 31 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT OF THE FUND -- CONTINUED (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - a discussion regarding the firm's participation in "soft dollar" arrangements, if any, or other brokerage allocation policies with respect to Fund transactions, including the firm's methodology for obtaining the most favorable execution and the use of any affiliated broker-dealers; - a description of any actual or potential conflicts of interest anticipated in managing Fund assets; - a discussion of the firm's compliance program with regard to federal, state, corporate and Fund requirements; - information regarding the firm's code of ethics, insider trading policy and disaster recovery plan, including a description of any material changes thereto; - a description of the firm's affiliation with any broker-dealer; - a discussion of any anticipated change in the firm's controlling persons; and - verification of the firm's insurance coverage with regards to the services provided to the Fund. In addition to the foregoing, the Manager provided the following information specific to the renewal of the Management Agreement: - a table comparing the performance of the Fund to appropriate indices, including comments on the relative performance of each sub-advisor and the Fund versus comparable indices; - a discussion of any underperformance by a sub-advisor relative to its peer group and whether (and if so, why) such sub-advisor should have its contract renewed; - a table detailing the Manager's profitability with respect to the Fund; - an analysis of any material complaints received from Fund shareholders; - a discussion of the Manager's compliance program; - a description of the Manager's securities lending practices and the fees received from such practices; - a description of the portfolio turnover rate and average execution costs for the Fund and each sub-advisor to the Fund; - a discussion of whether the Manager receives, with respect to trade execution for the Fund, other special compensation, including any payment for order flow; - a description of how expenses that are not readily identifiable to the Fund are allocated; and - any ideas for the future growth and efficient operation of the Fund. The Trustees were also provided with an analysis provided by Lipper, Inc., which compared: (i) investment performance of the Fund versus comparable investment companies and appropriate indices; (ii) total Fund expenses versus comparable mutual funds, and (iii) the Fund's investment advisory fees versus comparable mutual funds. Legal counsel provided the Trustees with a memorandum detailing their responsibilities pertaining to the renewal of the Management and Investment Advisory Agreements. This memoran- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 32 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT OF THE FUND -- CONTINUED (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dum explained the regulatory requirements surrounding the Trustees' process for evaluating investment advisors and the terms of the contracts. Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to the Fund In determining whether to approve the continuance of the Management Agreement and each Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered the best interests of the Fund separately from other series of the Trust. In each instance, the Trustees considered, among other things, the following factors: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided; (2) the investment performance of the Fund and the investment advisor; (3) the Manager's or sub-advisor's cost for providing the services and the profitability of the advisory business to the Manager or sub-advisor; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been taken into account in setting the fee schedule; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. The Trustees posed questions to various management personnel of the Manager regarding certain key aspects of the material submitted in support of the renewal. With respect to the renewal of the Management Agreement, the Trustees considered: the Manager's ability to retain key investment personnel and to provide consistent performance and an active client service program; the Manager's goal to continue to provide consistent above average long-term performance at low cost; the continuing efforts by the Manager to add new series so as to enhance the Trusts' product line; the Manager's record in building improved compliance, control and credit functions that reduce risks to the Trusts; the addition of personnel to manage the Trusts' series, promote sales and improve services; and the active role played by the Manager in monitoring and, as appropriate, recommending replacements for the investment sub-advisors and master portfolios. With respect to the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements, the Trustees noted that, in many cases, the Manager has negotiated the lowest sub-advisory fee a sub-advisor charges for any comparable client accounts. Where applicable, for purposes of determining the fee charged to the Fund, the fee schedule to each Investment Advisory Agreement specifies that all other assets managed by a sub-advisor on behalf of AMR Corporation and its pension plans shall be considered. Thus, the Fund is able to receive the lowest possible fee due to economies of scale resulting from the sub-advisor's management of a larger pool of assets. In considering the renewal of the Management Agreement, the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) the Fund outperformed its benchmark indices for the one-, five and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2004; (2) the expense ratio of the Institutional Class of Fund shares was lower than the industry average; and (3) the Trustees deemed the profit made by the Manager on the services it provided to the Fund to be reasonable in light of the fact that the Manager provides high-quality services at a low cost to investors, allocates the Fund's assets among sub-advisors, monitors and evaluates the performance of the Fund's three sub-advisors, and provides a comprehensive compliance program for the Fund. In considering the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements with Causeway Capital Management LLC ("Causeway"), Lazard Asset Management LLC ("Lazard"), Templeton Investment Counsel, LLC ("Templeton"), and The Boston Company Asset Management, LLC ("TBCAM"), the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) Causeway and Templeton each out- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 33 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT OF THE FUND -- CONTINUED (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- performed their benchmark indices on a short-term and long-term basis with respect to their allocated portion of the Fund's assets; (2) Lazard outperformed its benchmark index on a long-term basis, although it underperformed its benchmark index on a short-term basis with respect to its allocated portion of the Fund's assets because it has emphasized larger capitalization, higher return on equity securities, which have not performed as well recently as smaller capitalization, lower return on equity companies; (3) as of December 31, 2004, TBCAM had managed a portion of the Fund for three months, over which period it slightly underperformed its benchmark index, but the Trustees considered the performance record too short to be meaningful; (4) each sub-advisor represented that they did not charge a lower fee rate for any comparable client accounts; (5) for purposes of calculating the fee rates chargeable to the Fund, each sub-advisor agreed to take into account all other assets of AMR Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliated entities under management by the sub-advisor; and (6) the Manager's recommendation to continue to retain each sub-advisor. Based on these considerations and those noted above with respect to all Funds, the Trustees (1) concluded that the fees paid to the Manager and the sub-advisors under the Management and Investment Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable, (2) determined that the Fund and its shareholders would benefit from the Manager's and sub-advisors' continued management of the Fund and (3) approved the renewal of the Management and Investment Advisory Agreements with respect to the Fund. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 34 (This page intentionally left blank) (This page intentionally left blank) (AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS LOGO) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS To reduce expenses, your financial institution may mail only one copy of the Prospectus, Annual Report and Semi-Annual Report to those addresses shared by two or more accounts.

American Beacon Funds April 30, 2005 (BILL QUINN PICTURE) FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS, Iam pleased to present you with the Semi-Annual Report for the American Beacon Small Cap Value Fund (formerly known as the American AAdvantage Small Cap Value Fund) for the six months ended April 30, 2005. During this time, the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted gains of 2.78%, the S&P 500 Index increased by 3.28%, while the Russell 2000 Index decreased by 0.15%. The Small Cap Value Fund's robust performance for the Institutional Class surpassed the Lipper Small Cap Value Funds Index for the one-year, three-year and five-year time periods as of April 30, 2005. The Fund produced returns of 3.56% during the six months and 9.98%, 12.06%, 20.30% for the one-year, three-year, and five-year time periods, respectively. As the six-month period drew to a close, the Fund experienced significant inflows growing to $2.3 billion as of April 30, 2005. During the period, the Fund closed to new investors in an effort to protect the interests of existing shareholders. Our greatest priority is to deliver superior investment results to shareholders; we believe that closing the Fund to new investors allows us to preserve the integrity of our successful investment philosophy. Please note that we plan to introduce a second small cap fund for new investors later this year. Please review the enclosed market overviews, portfolio listings and detailed financial data. As always, we welcome the opportunity to serve your financial needs.

A heavy influence on this strong swing was the fall of oil prices from record $56 levels in late October. The decline in oil prices eased concerns about consumer spending slowing and the potentially dampening impact on consumer and business confidence. Equity markets were boosted by evidence that the U.S. economy was reaccelerating after relatively weak data in the third quarter. Investors were enthusiastic about better employment news, as it was reported that 337,000 jobs were added to payrolls in October (and an additional 113,000 jobs were added to figures from previous months), far greater than the expectation of 175,000 jobs. In addition, retail sales growth was stronger-than-expected in November, which helped to alleviate concerns about anecdotes of soft holiday sales. Regional manufacturing surveys also picked up in December, signaling that production was accelerating. Lastly, investors were encouraged by a smooth presidential election. A swift outcome in the election helped to eradicate fears of a long, contentious process. The establishment of Republican Party dominance reassured investors that taxes on capital gains and dividends would not be raised. Unfortunately, that end-of-year momentum quickly diminished during the first four months of 2005. Equities fell on concerns about higher interest rates all along the yield curve. The market became anxious about higher short-term rates during the first week of the year, when the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) released the minutes from its December 2004 meeting stating that, "Some participants believed that the prolonged period of policy accommodation had generated a significant degree of liquidity that might be contributing to signs of potentially excessive risk-taking in financial markets." As a result, investors became concerned that the Federal Reserve Bank (the "Fed") was willing to raise short-term interest rates aggressively not only to keep inflation under control, but also to discourage speculative risk-taking in asset markets. In February, Fed Chairman Greenspan tried to boost long-term rates by saying that a recent fall in 10-year Treasury yields (which had been supporting equity valuations) remained "a conundrum." Yields on 10-year bonds subsequently moved higher, and risk assets suffered more. Long bond yields were also driven upward by higher-than-expected consumer (CPI) and producer (PPI) inflation, as well as high energy prices. Headline CPI and PPI each rose 0.4% higher than expected in February, while WTI crude oil surged to nearly $57 per barrel near the end of March. Concerns that the Federal Reserve's tightening cycle would cause a slowdown in economic growth became fully apparent in April. Investors became worried about a drop-off in U.S. consumer spending after it was reported that core (non-auto) retail sales grew only 0.1% in the most recent month, far lower than the 0.5% gain expected. There was also apprehension about a slowdown in the manufacturing sector, as the Empire State manufacturing survey fell from a reading of 20.2 in March to only 3.1 in April (much lower than the expected value of 18.0). These fears were exacerbated by the far weaker-than-expected durable goods report. Ultimately, the term "stagflation" reared its ugly head as investors worried that inflation would continue to accelerate, even if economic growth slowed materially. Much of the recent pickup in inflation was attributable to gains in energy prices, as the four-week average of the price of consumer gasoline nationwide rose another 8% during April, to finish at $2.29 per gallon. Favorable news from Corporate America has helped the markets so far this year. Consensus estimates of profit growth for the fourth quarter of 2004 rose to 20.4% from 15.2% during January and February. Moreover, the consensus estimate of the first quarter 2005 profit growth rose to 13.6% from 8.2% during the month of April, with over 75% of S&P 500 companies reporting. There were also indications that corporations were supported by large and growing cash reserves on balance sheets, which would better enable them to weather potentially rocky times ahead. However, company "guidance" about earnings expectations for the balance of the year was not quite as encouraging. The consensus expectation for the second quarter growth fell to 7.2% from 8.8% in April. In specific markets terms, during the six-month period ending April 2005, the S&P 500 rose 3.3% overall, driven entirely by the gains in late 2004. Value continued its prolonged outperformance relative to growth as the pace of the economic recovery became a concern, with the Russell 1000 Value returning 6.7% and the Russell 1000 Growth rising a modest 1.1%. Small cap's reign in recent years faltered as the Russell 2000 Index fell 0.2%. Within the Russell 1000 Growth Index, more defensive sectors like utilities, energy and REITs were the best performers, while more cyclically sensitive areas such as finance and autos & transportation lagged. Retail underperformed as a whole and was dragged down by lower-end retailers feeling the brunt of higher gas prices on their customers. The insurance sector also declined as a whole as some of the industry's most prominent names were involved in scandal. 2 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND(SM) April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Institutional Class of the Small Cap Value Fund returned 3.56% for the six months ended April 30, 2005, outperforming the Russell 2000 Value Index ("Index") return of 1.52% and nearly matching the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index return of 3.58% for the same period. <Table> <Caption> ANNUALIZED TOTAL RETURNS ------------------------------------ PERIODS ENDED 4/30/05 ------------------------------------ SINCE 6 MONTHS 1 YEAR 5 YEARS INCEP. -------- ------ ------- ------ Institutional Class(1)....... 3.56% 9.98% 20.30% 14.40% PlanAhead Class(1,2)......... 3.46% 9.74% 19.97% 14.11% Service Class(1,3)........... 3.31% 9.47% 19.83% 14.01% AMR Class(1,2)............... 3.73% 10.31% 20.64% 14.71% Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index....................... 3.58% 9.83% 14.19% 11.79% Russell 2000 Value Index..... 1.52% 9.80% 14.07% 11.45% </Table> Russell 2000 (R) Value Index is a service mark of the Frank Russell Company.

Fund performance in the table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of shares. 2. Fund performance for the since inception period represents the total returns achieved by the Institutional Class from 12/31/98 up to 3/1/99, the inception date of the PlanAhead and AMR Classes, and the returns of the PlanAhead and AMR Classes since inception of these Classes. Expenses of the PlanAhead Class are higher than those of the Institutional Class. As a result, total returns shown may be higher than they would have been had the PlanAhead Class been in existence since 12/31/98. Expenses of the AMR Class are lower than those of the Institutional Class. As a result, total returns shown may be lower than they would have been had the AMR Class been in existence since 12/31/98. 3. Fund performance for the five-year and since inception periods represents the total returns achieved by the Institutional Class from 12/31/98 up to 3/1/99, the returns of the PlanAhead Class from 3/1/99 up to 5/1/03 (the inception date of the Service Class), and the returns of the Service Class since its inception. Expenses of the Service Class are higher than those of the Institutional and PlanAhead Classes. As a result, total returns shown may be higher than they would have been had the Service Class been in existence since 12/31/98. The Fund generated positive returns in every sector except Financials and Telecommunication Services and outperformed the Index in seven out of ten sectors during the period. Most of the Fund's excess return is attributable to stock selection, although sector allocation also added to the Fund's relative performance. Stock selection in the Health Care and Information Technology sectors had the greatest impact. Positions in Triad Hospitals, Inc. (up 55.2%), Sola International, Inc. (up 45.9%), Health Net, Inc. (up 40.3%) and Universal Health Services, Inc. (up 37.0%) were the major contributors to the Health Care sector's positive impact on the Fund's performance. Holdings such as Western Digital Corp. (up 52.3%) and MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc. (up 24.8%) in the Information Technology sector contributed significantly. The Industrials sector detracted from performance, mostly due to a large position in Insituform Technologies, Inc. (down 24.8%). The Fund's large underweighting in the Financials sector, which was the second worst performing sector of the Index, also contributed to the Fund's excess performance relative to the Index. The sub-advisors continue to focus on stock selection, to uncover investment opportunities that should benefit the Fund's performance over the longer-term. Investing in the securities of small capitalization companies involves greater risk and the possibility of greater price volatility than investing in larger capitalization and more established companies. 3 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND(SM) -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP TEN HOLDINGS <Table> <Caption> % OF NET ASSETS ---------- Del Monte Foods Company 0.9% The Men's Wearhouse, Incorporated 0.9% Valassis Communications, Incorporated 0.8% American Financial Group, Incorporated 0.8% Arrow Electronics, Incorporated 0.8% Advance Auto Parts, Incorporated 0.7% Encore Acquisition Company 0.7% NSTAR 0.7% Allmerica Financial Corporation 0.7% Protective Life Corporation 0.7% </Table> SECTOR ALLOCATION <Table> <Caption> % OF EQUITIES -------- Financials 22.4% Consumer Discretionary 21.8% Industrials 16.4% Utilities 9.8% Information Technology 9.4% Materials 6.6% Health Care 5.4% Consumer Staples 4.4% Energy 3.8% </Table> FUND EXPENSE EXAMPLE As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative service fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period in each Class and held for the entire period from November 1, 2004 through April 30, 2005. ACTUAL EXPENSES The "Actual" lines of the table provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Shareholders of the PlanAhead and Institutional Classes that invest in the Fund through an IRA may be subject to a custodial IRA fee of $12 that is typically deducted each December. If your account was subject to a custodial IRA fee during the period, your costs would have been $12 higher. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The "Hypothetical" lines of the table provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the Fund's actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. Shareholders of the PlanAhead and Institutional Classes that invest in the Fund through an IRA may be subject to a custodial IRA fee of $12 that is typically deducted each December. If your account was subject to a custodial IRA fee during the period, your costs would have been $12 higher. You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs charged by the Fund. Similarly, the expense examples for other funds do not reflect any transaction costs charged by those funds, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the "Hypothetical" lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If you were subject to any transaction costs during the period, your costs would have been higher. 4 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND(SM) -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Table> <Caption> BEGINNING ENDING ACCOUNT ACCOUNT EXPENSES PAID VALUE VALUE DURING PERIOD* 11/1/04 4/30/05 11/1/04-4/30/05 --------- --------- --------------- INSTITUTIONAL CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,035.64 $4.24 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,020.63 $4.24 (5% return before expenses) PLANAHEAD CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,034.65 $5.48 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,019.41 $5.43 (5% return before expenses) SERVICE CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,033.10 $6.77 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,018.14 $6.72 (5% return before expenses) AMR CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,037.28 $2.90 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,021.95 $2.87 (5% return before expenses) </Table> * Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratios for the six-month period of 0.84%, 1.09%, 1.34%, 0.57%, for the Institutional, PlanAhead, Service, and AMR Classes, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number derived by dividing the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (181) by days in the year (365) to reflect the half-year period. 5 AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Table> <Caption> SHARES VALUE ------------ -------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) COMMON STOCK - 91.74% CONSUMER DISCRETIONARY - 19.97% AUTO COMPONENTS - 2.61% American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Incorporated(+)... 290,500 $ 5,799 Arvinmeritor, Incorporated.... 420,300 4,993 Bandag, Incorporated(+)....... 59,300 2,576 Bandag, Incorporated, A Shares...................... 3,600 139 Borg-Warner Automotive, Incorporated................ 186,100 8,509 Cooper Tire & Rubber Company(+).................. 338,900 5,914 Dana Corporation(+)........... 728,800 8,323 Group 1 Automotive, Incorporated+(+)............ 279,300 7,024 Hayes Lemmerz International, Incorporated+(+)............ 279,200 1,499 Lear Corporation.............. 152,700 5,175 Sonic Automotive, Incorporated................ 190,400 3,745 Superior Industries International, Incorporated(+)............. 179,500 3,649 TRW Automotive Holdings Corporation+................ 59,900 1,067 Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation.... 101,900 2,038 -------- TOTAL AUTO COMPONENTS..... 60,450 -------- AUTOMOBILES - 0.08% Winnebago Industries, Incorporated(+)............. 64,200 1,871 -------- TOTAL AUTOMOBILES......... 1,871 -------- HOTELS RESTAURANTS & LEISURE - 2.30% Aztar Corporation+............ 196,600 5,369 Blockbuster, Incorporated(+).. 327,300 3,240 Bob Evans Farms, Incorporated................ 159,686 3,258 CEC Entertainment, Incorporated+............... 162,500 5,883 Intrawest Corporation......... 233,500 4,703 Jack in the Box, Incorporated+(+)............ 121,400 4,438 Jameson Inns, Incorporated.... 787,100 1,196 Kerzner International Limited+(+)................. 177,000 9,751 La Quinta Corporation+........ 192,200 1,672 Landry's Restaurants, Incorporated................ 103,300 2,686 Lodgian, Incorporated+........ 357,700 3,058 Magna Entertainment Corporation+(+)............. 513,500 2,691 Papa John's International, Incorporated+(+)............ 41,600 1,426 </Table> <Table> <Caption> SHARES VALUE ------------ -------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Ryans Restaurant Group, Incorporated+............... 35,150 $ 446 Steiner Leisure Limited+...... 115,700 3,467 Sunterra Corporation+......... 7,400 115 -------- TOTAL HOTELS RESTAURANTS & LEISURE................. 53,399 -------- HOUSEHOLD DURABLES - 4.91% American Greetings Corporation(+).............. 489,600 11,090 Beazer Homes USA, Incorporated(+)............. 240,600 10,971 Ethan Allen Interiors, Incorporated(+)............. 185,500 5,589 Furniture Brands International, Incorporated(+)............. 492,700 9,549 Helen of Troy Limited+........ 369,300 10,318 Hooker Furniture Corporation................. 129,000 2,154 La-Z-Boy, Incorporated(+)..... 491,500 5,819 Lifetime Hoan Corporation(+).. 85,200 1,436 William Lyon Homes+(+)........ 51,000 4,509 M.D.C.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES American Beacon Funds (the "Trust"), formerly known as the American AAdvantage Funds, is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended, as a no load, open-end management investment company. These financial statements and notes to the financial statements relate to the American Beacon Small Cap Value Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the Trust. American Beacon Advisors, Inc. (the "Manager"), formerly known as AMR Investment Services, Inc., is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, Inc. ("American"), and was organized in 1986 to provide business management, advisory, administrative and asset management consulting services to the Trust and other investors. Class Disclosure The Fund has multiple classes of shares designed to meet the needs of different groups of investors. The following table sets forth the differences amongst the classes: <Table> <Caption> CLASS: OFFERED TO: SERVICE AND DISTRIBUTION FEES: - ------ ----------- ------------------------------ INSTITUTIONAL CLASS Investors making an initial investment of $2 million Administrative Service 0.25% Fee -- PLANAHEAD CLASS General public and investors investing through an Administrative Service 0.25% intermediary Fee -- 0.25% Service Fee -- SERVICE CLASS Investors investing through an intermediary Administrative Service 0.25% Fee -- 0.25% Service Fee -- 0.25% Distribution Fee -- AMR CLASS Investors in the tax-exempt retirement and benefit plans of N/A AMR Corporation and its affiliates </Table> Security Valuation Investments are valued at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the Exchange is open for business. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities (other than short-term securities) normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service and may take into account appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. When a price is unavailable from a pricing service or when the price provided by the pricing service is deemed not to represent fair value, the prices of debt securities may be determined using quotes obtained from brokers. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of the mutual fund on the day of valuation. Investment grade short-term obligations with 60 days or less to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates market value. Securities for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate, or are deemed not to reflect fair value, are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to procedures approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18 AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Security Transactions and Investment Income Security transactions are recorded on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the information is available to the Fund. Interest income is earned from settlement date, recorded on the accrual basis, and adjusted, if necessary, for accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific lot identification. Futures Contracts Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standard quantity of securities at a specified price on a future date. The Fund may enter into financial futures contracts as a method for keeping assets readily convertible to cash if needed to meet shareholder redemptions or for other needs while maintaining exposure to the stock or bond market, as applicable. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the values of the contracts and the underlying securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to set aside or deposit with a broker an amount, termed the initial margin, which typically represents 5% of the face value of the futures contract. The Fund reflects this amount on the Schedule of Investments as a US Treasury Bill held as collateral for futures contracts. Payments to and from the broker, known as variation margin, are required to be made on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates. Changes in initial settlement values are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price established each day by the exchange on which they are traded. Dividends to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income of the Fund normally will be declared and paid annually. Distributions, if any, of net realized capital gains are generally paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Commission Recapture The Fund has established brokerage commission recapture arrangements with certain brokers or dealers. If the Fund's investment advisor chooses to execute a transaction through a participating broker, the broker rebates a portion of the commission back to the Fund. Any collateral benefit received through participation in the commission recapture program is directed exclusively to the Fund. Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19 AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 estimated. Other Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnification to the other party or parties against potential costs or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated. The Trust has had no prior claims or losses pursuant to any such agreement. 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Management Agreement The Trust and the Manager are parties to a Management Agreement that obligates the Manager to provide or oversee the provision of all administrative, investment advisory, fund management and securities lending services. Investment assets of the Fund are managed by multiple investment advisors which have entered into separate investment advisory agreements with the Manager. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Management Agreement, the Manager receives from the Fund an annualized fee equal to .10% of the average daily net assets plus amounts paid by the Manager to the investment advisors hired by the Manager to direct investment activities of the Funds. Management fees paid during the six months ended April 30, 2005 were as follows (dollars in thousands): <Table> <Caption> AMOUNTS PAID TO NET AMOUNTS MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT RETAINED BY FEE RATE FEE ADVISORS MANAGER - ----------- ---------- --------------- ----------- .35%-.60% $5,131 $4,132 $999 </Table> As compensation for services provided by the Manager in connection with securities lending activities, the lending Fund pays to the Manager, with respect to cash collateral posted by borrowers, a fee up to 25% of the net monthly interest income (the gross interest income earned by the investment of cash collateral, less the amount paid to borrowers and related expenses) from such activities and, with respect to loan fees paid by borrowers when a borrower posts collateral other than cash, a fee up to 25% of such loan fees. During the six months ended April 30, 2005, securities lending fees totaling $48,000 were paid to the Manager by the Fund. Administrative Services Agreement The Manager and the Trust entered into an Administrative Services Agreement which obligates the Manager to provide or oversee administrative and management services to the Fund. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Manager receives an annualized fee of ..25% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional, PlanAhead and Service Classes of the Fund. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20 AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distribution Plans The Trust, except for the Service Class of the Funds, has adopted a "defensive" Distribution Plan (the "Plan") in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, pursuant to which no fees may be charged to the Fund for distribution purposes. However, the Plan authorizes the management fees received by the Manager and the investment advisors hired by the Manager to be used for distribution purposes. Under this Plan, the Trust does not intend to compensate the Manager or any other party, either directly or indirectly, for the distribution of Trust shares. A separate Distribution Plan (the "Distribution Plan") has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act for the Service Class of the Fund. Under the Distribution Plan, as compensation for distribution assistance, the Manager receives an annual fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class. The fee will be payable without regard to whether the amount of the fee is more or less than the actual expenses incurred in a particular month by the Manager for distribution assistance. Service Plans The Manager and the Trust entered into Service Plans that obligate the Manager to oversee additional shareholder servicing of the PlanAhead and Service Classes. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Service Plans, the Manager receives 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the PlanAhead and Service Classes of the Fund. Brokerage Commissions Affiliated entities of the Fund received net commissions on purchases and sales of the Fund's portfolio securities for the six months ended April 30, 2005 of $22,000. Investment in Affiliated Funds The Fund is permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and approved procedures by the Board, to invest up to 25% of its total assets in the American Beacon Money Market Select Fund (the "Select Fund"), an affiliated fund. The Fund and the Select Fund have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending may be invested in the Select Fund and the American Beacon Enhanced Cash Trust (the "Cash Trust") (collectively, the "Affiliated Funds"). The Manager serves as Trustee and investment advisor to the Affiliated Funds and receives from the Affiliated Funds an annualized fee equal to 0.10% of the average daily net assets. During the six months ended April 30, 2005, fees earned by the Manager from the Affiliated Funds were as follows: <Table> <Caption> SECURITIES LENDING DIRECT INVESTMENT COLLATERAL INVESTED IN FUNDS IN FUNDS TOTAL - ----------------- ------------------- -------- $91,173 $139,459 $230,632 </Table> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21 AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Certain officers or Trustees of the Trust are also current or former officers or employees of the Manager or American. The Trust makes no direct payments to its officers. Mr. Feld and the non-interested Trustees (other than Mr. O'Sullivan) and their spouses are provided free unlimited air transportation on American. Retired Trustees and their spouses are provided free air transportation on American, up to a maximum annual value of $40,000. The Trust compensates each Trustee with payments in an amount equal to the Trustee's income tax on the value of this free airline travel. Mr. O'Sullivan, as a retiree of American, already receives flight benefits. Mr. O'Sullivan receives an annual retainer of $40,000 plus $1,250 for each Board meeting attended. At April 30, 2005, AMR Corporation and subsidiary companies and Employee Benefit Trusts thereof owned 100% of AMR Class shares of the Fund. Interfund Lending Program Pursuant to an exemptive order by the SEC, the Fund along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with the Manager, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating Funds. At April 30, 2005, the Fund had not utilized the credit facility. Reimbursement of Expenses The Manager reimbursed expenses of the Service Class totaling $121 for the Fund during the six months ended April 30, 2005. 3. FEDERAL INCOME AND EXCISE TAXES It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all net investment income as well as any net realized capital gains on the sale of investments. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. Dividends are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may treat certain transactions differently than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22 AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The tax character of distributions during the six months ended April 30, 2005 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 were as follows (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> SIX MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, OCTOBER 31, 2005 2004 ----------- ----------- (UNAUDITED) DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM: ORDINARY INCOME Institutional Class..................................... $12,463 $ 2,878 PlanAhead Class......................................... 16,237 1,809 Service Class........................................... 368 -- AMR Class............................................... 12,942 9,236 LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAIN Institutional Class..................................... 9,760 726 PlanAhead Class......................................... 12,985 509 Service Class........................................... 301 -- AMR Class............................................... 9,538 2,258 ------- ------- TOTAL DISTRIBUTIONS PAID............................ $74,594 $17,416 ------- ------- </Table> As of April 30, 2005, the components of distributable earnings were as follows (in thousands): <Table> Cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes... $2,551,392 Unrealized appreciation..................................... 179,135 Unrealized depreciation.....................................

Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences. The temporary differences between financial reporting and tax-basis reporting of unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses from wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/(losses) on certain derivative instruments, book amortization for premiums, and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/(losses) on investments in passive foreign investment companies. Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses and realized gains/losses under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and federal income tax purposes, permanent differences between book and tax reporting have been identified and appropriately reclassified on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Accordingly, the following amounts represent current year permanent differences that have been reclassified as of April 30, 2005 (in thousands): <Table> Paid-in-capital............................................. $ 427 Undistributed net investment income.........................

SECURITIES LENDING The Fund may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income. The borrowers are required to secure their loans continuously with collateral in an amount at least equal to 102% (for loans of US securities) or 105% (for non-US securities) of the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. Collateral is marked to market and monitored daily. To the extent that a loan is collateralized by cash, such collateral shall be invested by the securities lending agent (the "Agent") in short-term instruments, money market mutual funds, and such other short-term investments, provided the investments meet certain quality and diversification requirements. Income generated from the investment of cash collateral, less negotiated rebate fees paid to participating brokers and transaction costs, is divided between the Fund and the Agent and is recorded as income for the Fund. To the extent that a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, brokers pay the Fund negotiated lenders' fees, which are divided between the Fund and the Agent and are recorded as securities lending income for the Fund. The Fund also continues to receive income on the securities loaned, and any gain or loss in the market price of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. Risks to the Fund in securities lending transactions are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. At April 30, 2005, the value of outstanding securities on loan and the value of collateral was as follows (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> MARKET VALUE OF SECURITIES ON LOAN NON-CASH COLLATERAL CASH COLLATERAL - ------------------ ------------------- --------------- $263,671 $134 $269,455 </Table> The Custodian for the Fund invested the cash collateral in the Cash Trust and the Select Fund.

As part of the renewal process, legal counsel to the Trusts and the independent Trustees sent information request letters to the Manager and each sub-advisor seeking certain relevant information. The responses by the Manager and sub-advisors were provided to the Trustees for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees were provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Trustees considered, among other materials, responses by the Manager and the sub-advisors to inquiries requesting: - a description of any significant changes (actual or anticipated) to principal activities, personnel, services provided to the Fund, or any other area, including how these changes might affect the Fund; - a copy of the firm's most recent audited or unaudited financial statements as well as Parts I and II of its Form ADV; - a summary of any material past, pending or anticipated litigation or regulatory proceedings involving the firm or its personnel, including the results of any recent regulatory examination or independent audit; - a comparison of the performance of that portion of Fund assets managed by each firm with performance of other similar accounts managed by the firm, including a discussion of relative performance versus a peer group average and any remedial measures if the firm's performance was materially below that of the peer group; - a cost/profitability analysis of the firm and any actual or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services it provides to the Fund, if available; - an analysis of compensation, including a comparison with fees charged to other clients for which similar services are provided, any proposed changes to the fee schedule and the effect of any fee waivers; - an evaluation of any other benefits to the firm or Fund as a result of their relationship, if any; - a description of the scope of portfolio management services provided to the Fund, including whether such services differ from the services provided to other clients, including other registered investment companies; - a description of the personnel who are assigned primary responsibility for managing the Fund, including any changes during the past year; - a description of the basis upon which portfolio managers are compensated, including any "incentive" arrangements; - a discussion regarding the firm's participation in "soft dollar" arrangements, if any, or other brokerage allocation policies with respect to Fund transactions, including the firm's methodology for obtaining the most favorable execution and the use of any affiliated broker-dealers; 28 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT OF THE FUND -- CONTINUED (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - a description of any actual or potential conflicts of interest anticipated in managing Fund assets; - a discussion of the firm's compliance program with regard to federal, state, corporate and Fund requirements; - information regarding the firm's code of ethics, insider trading policy and disaster recovery plan, including a description of any material changes thereto; - a description of the firm's affiliation with any broker-dealer; - a discussion of any anticipated change in the firm's controlling persons; and - verification of the firm's insurance coverage with regards to the services provided to the Fund. In addition to the foregoing, the Manager provided the following information specific to the renewal of the Management Agreement: - a table comparing the performance of the Fund to appropriate indices, including comments on the relative performance of each sub-advisor and the Fund versus comparable indices; - a discussion of any underperformance by a sub-advisor relative to its peer group and whether (and if so, why) such sub-advisor should have its contract renewed; - a table detailing the Manager's profitability with respect to the Fund; - an analysis of any material complaints received from Fund shareholders; - a discussion of the Manager's compliance program; - a description of the Manager's securities lending practices and the fees received from such practices; - a description of the portfolio turnover rate and average execution costs for the Fund and each sub-advisor to the Fund; - a discussion of whether the Manager receives, with respect to trade execution for the Fund, other special compensation, including any payment for order flow; - a description of how expenses that are not readily identifiable to the Fund are allocated; and - any ideas for the future growth and efficient operation of the Fund. The Trustees were also provided with an analysis provided by Lipper, Inc., which compared: (i) investment performance of the Fund versus comparable investment companies and appropriate indices; (ii) total Fund expenses versus comparable mutual funds, and (iii) the Fund's investment advisory fees versus comparable mutual funds. Legal counsel provided the Trustees with a memorandum detailing their responsibilities pertaining to the renewal of the Management and Investment Advisory Agreements. This memorandum explained the regulatory requirements surrounding the Trustees' process for evaluating investment advisors and the terms of the contracts. 29 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT OF THE FUND -- CONTINUED (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Considerations and Conclusions with Respect to the Fund In determining whether to approve the continuance of the Management Agreement and each Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered the best interests of the Fund separately from other series of the Trust. In each instance, the Trustees considered, among other things, the following factors: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided; (2) the investment performance of the Fund and the investment advisor; (3) the Manager's or sub-advisor's cost for providing the services and the profitability of the advisory business to the Manager or sub-advisor; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been taken into account in setting the fee schedule; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. The Trustees posed questions to various management personnel of the Manager regarding certain key aspects of the material submitted in support of the renewal. With respect to the renewal of the Management Agreement, the Trustees considered: the Manager's ability to retain key investment personnel and to provide consistent performance and an active client service program; the Manager's goal to continue to provide consistent above average long-term performance at low cost; the continuing efforts by the Manager to add new series so as to enhance the Trusts' product line; the Manager's record in building improved compliance, control and credit functions that reduce risks to the Trusts; the addition of personnel to manage the Trusts' series, promote sales and improve services; and the active role played by the Manager in monitoring and, as appropriate, recommending replacements for the investment sub-advisors and master portfolios. With respect to the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements, the Trustees noted that, in many cases, the Manager has negotiated the lowest sub-advisory fee a sub-advisor charges for any comparable client accounts. Where applicable, for purposes of determining the fee charged to the Fund, the fee schedule to each Investment Advisory Agreement specifies that all other small cap value assets managed by a sub-advisor on behalf of AMR Corporation and its pensions plans shall be considered. Thus, the Fund is able to receive the lowest possible fee due to economies of scale resulting from the sub-advisor's management of a larger pool of assets. In considering the renewal of the Management Agreement, the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) the Fund outperformed its benchmark indices for the one-year and five-year periods ended December 31, 2004; (2) the expense ratio of the Institutional Class of Fund shares was at the industry average; and (3) the Trustees deemed the profit made by the Manager on the services it provided to the Fund to be reasonable in light of the fact that the Manager provides high-quality services at a low cost to investors, allocates the Fund's assets among sub-advisors, monitors and evaluates the performance of the Fund's two sub-advisors, and provides a comprehensive compliance program for the Fund. In considering the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements with Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, Inc. ("Barrow"), Brandywine Asset Management, LLC ("Brandywine"), Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management, LLC ("Hotchkis"), and The Boston Company Asset Management, LLC ("TBCAM"), the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) Barrow and Hotchkis have each outperformed for all reported periods its benchmark index with respect to their allocated portion of the Fund's assets; (2) except for the most recent one-year period, Brandywine has outperformed its benchmark index for the longer-term periods with respect to its allocated portion of the Fund's assets; (3) as of December 31, 2004, TBCAM had managed a portion of the Fund for three months, over which period it slightly underperformed its benchmark index, 30 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT OF THE FUND -- CONTINUED (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- but the Trustees considered the performance record too short to be meaningful; (4) each sub-advisor represented that it did not charge a lower fee rate for any comparable client accounts; (5) for purposes of calculating the fee rates chargeable to the Fund, each sub-advisor agreed to take into account all other assets of AMR Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliated entities under management by the sub-advisor; and (6) the Manager's recommendation to continue to retain each sub-advisor. Based on these considerations and those noted above with respect to all Funds, the Trustees (1) concluded that the fees paid to the Manager and the sub-advisors under the Management and Investment Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable, (2) determined that the Fund and its shareholders would benefit from the Manager's and sub-advisors' continued management of the Fund and (3) approved the renewal of the Management and Investment Advisory Agreements with respect to the Fund. Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement with Opus Capital Management, Inc. At their January 27, 2005 meeting, the Trustees considered the approval of an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Opus Capital Management, Inc. ("Opus") to add Opus as a sub-adviser to the Fund. As part of the approval process, legal counsel to the Trusts and the independent Trustees sent an information request letter to Opus seeking certain relevant information. Opus's response was provided to the Trustees for their review prior to their meeting, and the Trustees were provided with the opportunity to request any additional materials. The Trustees considered, among other materials, responses by Opus to inquiries requesting: - a description of the advisory and related services proposed to be provided to the Fund; - identification of the professional personnel to perform services for the Fund and their education, experience and responsibilities; - a comparison of the performance of accounts similar to the Fund managed by Opus with the performance of applicable indices; - an analysis of the proposed advisory fee, a comparison to the fees charged to other comparable clients and an explanation of any differences between the fee schedules; - whether Opus charges a lower advisory fee to other clients for which it provides services comparable to the services proposed for the Fund and if so, an explanation of the rationale for charging the other client(s) a lower fee; - a description of the portfolio managers' compensation, including any incentive arrangements, and if compensation is tied to performance, a description of the oversight mechanisms to prevent a manager with lagging performance from taking undue risks; and - any other information Opus believed would be material to the Trustees' consideration of the agreement. In considering the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Opus, the Trustees considered the following factors. First, the Trustees considered that the Manager had screened the universe of available small capitalization equity managers to identify those that would have added value to the Fund's performance over the most recent three- and five-year periods. In this regard, the Trustees considered that Opus's small cap value accounts outperformed the Russell 2000 Value 31 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT OF THE FUND -- CONTINUED (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Index for the most recent quarter, one-year, three-year, five-year, and since inception periods. Second, the Trustees considered that the proposed fee to be charged by Opus to the Fund was highly competitive with fees of comparable advisers and represented a discount from Opus's standard fee schedule for such services. Third, the Trustees considered the experience and knowledge of the investment team identified by Opus that would make investment decisions for the Fund. Fourth, the Trustees considered that Opus was prepared to reserve a material amount of investment capacity for the benefit of the Fund. Fifth, the Trustees considered the Manager's conclusion that the investment process to be employed by Opus would be highly consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and policies, as well as the Manager's strong recommendation on behalf of Opus. Based on these considerations, the Trustees (1) concluded that the fees proposed to be paid to Opus under the Investment Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable, (2) determined that the Fund and its shareholders would benefit from Opus's addition as a sub-advisor to the Fund and (3) approved the Investment Advisory Agreement with Opus. 32 (AMERICAN AADVANTAGE FUNDS LOGO) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS To reduce expenses, your financial institution may mail only one copy of the Prospectus, Annual Report and Semi-Annual Report to those addresses shared by two or more accounts, if you wish to receive individual copies of these documents, please contact your financial institution.

American Beacon Funds April 30, 2005 (BILL QUINN PICTURE) FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS, Iam pleased to present you with the Semi-Annual Report for the American Beacon Funds (formerly known as the American AAdvantage Funds) for the six months ended April 30, 2005. During this time, most markets experienced modest gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted gains of 2.8%, the S&P 500 Index increased by 3.3% and the MSCI EAFE Index returned 8.7%. As of April 30, 2005, the 10-Year Treasury interest rate was 4.2%, resulting in a 0.98% total return for the bond market, as defined by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index. Additionally, the Federal Reserve increased the Fed Funds Rate to 2.75%, up 100 basis points during the six-month period The American Beacon equity funds posted strong returns in both absolute and relative terms for the six-month period. The Balanced and Large Cap Value Funds posted gains of 6.2% and 8.8%, respectively, for the period and continued to surpass their respective Lipper benchmarks for all periods ended April 30, 2005. Our new Mid-Cap Value Fund-Institutional Class outperformed its respective Lipper peer group with returns of 6.6% for the six-months and 9.5% since its inception on June 30, 2004. The Institutional Class of the Emerging Markets Fund posted a positive return of 11.9% for the period. On the fixed-income front, the Enhanced Income, Intermediate Bond and Short-Term Bond Funds all posted modest positive returns for the six-month period. During this time, in an effort to reduce the overall costs of investing in these Funds, the Institutional Class of the Short-Term and Intermediate Bond Funds was terminated and Institutional Class shareholders received AMR Class shares. The AMR Class of shares has a lower expense ratio and, as a result, has produced a higher historical rate of return than the Institutional Class shares. Following this exchange, the former AMR Class of shares was re-named the Institutional Class. Please review the enclosed market overviews, portfolio listings and detailed financial data. As always, we welcome the opportunity to serve your financial needs.

A heavy influence on this strong swing was the fall of oil prices from record $56 levels in late October. The decline in oil prices eased concerns about consumer spending slowing and the potentially dampening impact on consumer and business confidence. Equity markets were boosted by evidence that the U.S. economy was reaccelerating after relatively weak data in the third quarter. Investors were enthusiastic about better employment news, as it was reported that 337,000 jobs were added to payrolls in October (and an additional 113,000 jobs were added to figures from previous months), far greater than the expectation of 175,000 jobs. In addition, retail sales growth was stronger-than-expected in November, which helped to alleviate concerns about anecdotes of soft holiday sales. Regional manufacturing surveys also picked up in December, signaling that production was accelerating. Lastly, investors were encouraged by a smooth presidential election. A swift outcome in the election helped to eradicate fears of a long, contentious process. The establishment of Republican Party dominance reassured investors that taxes on capital gains and dividends would not be raised. Unfortunately, that end-of-year momentum quickly diminished during the first four months of 2005. Equities fell on concerns about higher interest rates all along the yield curve. The market became anxious about higher short-term rates during the first week of the year, when the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) released the minutes from its December 2004 meeting stating that, "Some participants believed that the prolonged period of policy accommodation had generated a significant degree of liquidity that might be contributing to signs of potentially excessive risk-taking in financial markets." As a result, investors became concerned that the Federal Reserve Bank (the "Fed") was willing to raise short-term interest rates aggressively not only to keep inflation under control, but also to discourage speculative risk-taking in asset markets. In February, Fed Chairman Greenspan tried to boost long-term rates by saying that a recent fall in 10-year Treasury yields (which had been supporting equity valuations) remained "a conundrum." Yields on 10-year bonds subsequently moved higher, and risk assets suffered more. Long bond yields were also driven upward by higher-than-expected consumer (CPI) and producer (PPI) inflation, as well as high energy prices. Headline CPI and PPI each rose 0.4% higher than expected in February, while WTI crude oil surged to nearly $57 per barrel near the end of March. Concerns that the Federal Reserve's tightening cycle would cause a slowdown in economic growth became fully apparent in April. Investors became worried about a drop-off in U.S. consumer spending after it was reported that core (non-auto) retail sales grew only 0.1% in the most recent month, far lower than the 0.5% gain expected. There was also apprehension about a slowdown in the manufacturing sector, as the Empire State manufacturing survey fell from a reading of 20.2 in March to only 3.1 in April (much lower than the expected value of 18.0). These fears were exacerbated by the far weaker-than-expected durable goods report. Ultimately, the term "stagflation" reared its ugly head as investors worried that inflation would continue to accelerate, even if economic growth slowed materially. Much of the recent pickup in inflation was attributable to gains in energy prices, as the four-week average of the price of consumer gasoline nationwide rose another 8% during April, to finish at $2.29 per gallon. Favorable news from Corporate America has helped the markets so far this year. Consensus estimates of profit growth for the fourth quarter of 2004 rose to 20.4% from 15.2% during January and February. Moreover, the consensus estimate of the first quarter 2005 profit growth rose to 13.6% from 8.2% during the month of April, with over 75% of S&P 500 companies reporting. There were also indications that corporations were supported by large and growing cash reserves on balance sheets, which would better enable them to weather potentially rocky times ahead. However, company "guidance" about earnings expectations for the balance of the year was not quite as encouraging. The consensus expectation for the second quarter growth fell to 7.2% from 8.8% in April. 3 DOMESTIC EQUITY MARKET OVERVIEW -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During the six-month period ending April 2005, the S&P 500 rose 3.3% overall, driven entirely by the gains in late 2004. Value continued its prolonged outperformance relative to growth as the pace of the economic recovery became a concern, with the Russell 1000 Value returning 6.7% and the Russell 1000 Growth rising a modest 1.1%. Small cap's reign in recent years faltered as the Russell 2000 Index fell 0.2%. Within the Russell 1000 Growth Index, more defensive sectors like utilities, energy and REITs were the best performers, while more cyclically sensitive areas such as finance and autos & transportation lagged. Retail underperformed as a whole and was dragged down by lower-end retailers feeling the brunt of higher gas prices on their customers. The insurance sector also declined as a whole as some of the industry's most prominent names were involved in scandal. 4 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON BALANCED FUND(SM) April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Balanced Fund's Institutional Class returned 6.18% for the six months ended April 30, 2005, outperforming the 60% S&P 500 Barra Value/40% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index benchmark return of 2.57% and the Lipper Balanced Funds Index return of 2.67%. <Table> <Caption> ANNUALIZED TOTAL RETURNS --------------------------------------- PERIODS ENDED 4/30/05 --------------------------------------- 6 MONTHS* 1 YEAR 5 YEARS 10 YEARS --------- ------ ------- -------- Institutional Class(1).... 6.18% 11.39% 8.64% 9.66% PlanAhead Class(1)........ 5.93% 10.98% 8.38% 9.35% AMR Class(1).............. 6.20% 11.68% 8.95% 9.95% Lipper Balanced Funds Index.................... 2.67% 6.06% 2.22% 8.33% S&P 500 Index(2).......... 3.28% 6.34% -2.94% 10.26% S&P 500/Barra Value Index(2)................. 3.51% 9.72% 1.65% 10.36% Lehman Bros.

The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of common stocks publicly traded in the United States. The S&P 500/ Barra Value Index is a market value weighted index of stocks with book-to-price ratios in the top 50% of the S&P 500 Index. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index is a market value weighted index of government, corporate, mortgage-backed and asset-backed fixed-rate debt securities of all maturities. 3. 60% S&P 500/Barra Value, 40% LB Aggregate Index During the six-month period, the Fund's assets on average were invested 67% in equities (including equitized cash) and 33% in fixed-income securities, ending the period with 67% in equities/equitized cash and 33% in fixed-income securities. The equity portion of the Fund returned 10.8%, outperforming the S&P 500/Barra Value Index ("Barra Value Index") return of 3.5%. The Fund added value relative to the Barra Value Index mostly through stock selection, which was positive in seven out of ten sectors and also through sector allocation. Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples sectors contributed most to the Fund's excess performance. In the Consumer Discretionary sector, the Fund's positions in Sears Holdings Corp. (up 44.2%) and MGM Mirage, Inc. (up 29.8%) had the largest impact, while Altria Group Inc. (up 37.2%) and Imperial Tobacco Group plc (up 26.6%) were the largest contributors to the positive performance of the Consumer Staples sector. Selection in the Financials, Industrials, and Health Care sectors were also a source of significant added value. Strong performers included Allstate Corp. (up 18.1%) and Prudential Financial Inc. (up 24.6%) in the Financials sector, Boeing Co. (up 20.3%) in the Industrials sector, and Aetna Inc. (up 54.5%) in the Health Care sector. Equity sector allocation also had an impact on the Fund's relative returns during the six-month period. The Fund was underweight in the Energy sector very early in the period but benefited from an overweight in this second-best performing sector of the Barra Value Index over the course of the six months. Overweighting the Health Care sector, which was the best performing sector of the Barra Value Index also added value, as well as underweights in the Financials and Telecommunications Services sector, that were two of the worst performing sectors of the Barra Value Index. The fixed-income portion of the Fund returned 0.2% for the six-month period, lagging the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index ("Lehman Index") return of 1.0%. The Fund's fixed-income underperformance was due mostly to its significantly longer duration relative to the Lehman Index during February and the early part of March as interest rates were rising. 5 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON BALANCED FUND(SM) -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The sub-advisors continue to focus on the disciplined selection of attractive securities with a goal of long-term added value.

The S&P 500/Barra Value Index is a market value weighted index of stocks with book-to-price ratios in the top 50% of the S&P 500 Index. The Fund produced positive returns and positive stock selection relative to the Index in every sector except Telecommunication Services. The Fund outperformed the Index primarily through strong stock selection, although sector allocation also added meaningfully to the excess performance. From a stock selection standpoint, the largest contributors were in the Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Industrials and Financials sectors. The companies with most impact in the Consumer Discretionary sector were Sears Holdings Corp. (up 44.2%) and J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (up 37.8%). In the Consumer Staples sector, Altria Group Inc. (up 37.2%) and Imperial Tobacco Group plc (up 26.6%) were the largest contributors. Boeing Co. (up 20.3%) in the Industrials sector and Allstate Corp. (up 18.1%) and Prudential Financial Inc. (up 24.6%) in the Financials sector also added meaningful value versus the Index. Sector weightings also added value during the period, as an underweight in the Energy sector early in the period became an overweight in this second-best performing sector of the Index. Also, an overweight in Health Care, which was the best performing sector of the Index, and an underweight in Financials (one of the poorer performing sectors of the Index) also contributed to added value through sector allocation. The sub-advisors continue to invest in a broadly diversified portfolio of companies that they believe have attractive valuations and above average earnings growth potential. This approach should allow the Fund to benefit over the long-term.

Russell 1000 (R) Growth Index is a service mark of the Frank Russell Company. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index of those stocks in the Russell 1000 Index with above-average price-to-book ratios and above-average forecasted growth values. This has been a mediocre period for U.S. growth stocks overall. During the six-month period, six out of ten sectors in the Russell 1000 Growth Index posted positive returns. The Fund lost relative value versus the Index primarily as a result of stock selection, although sector-weighting decisions were mildly detrimental as well. From a stock selection standpoint, the Fund added value in four of ten sectors. Two of the largest value added sectors for the Fund relative to the Index were Financials and Consumer Staples. An overweighting of Prudential Financial, Inc. (up 24.6%) and a position in Loews Corp. (up 18.8%) contributed most to the Financial sector's relative performance. In Consumer Staples, the Fund's overweighted position in Gillette Company (up 25.3%) in particular added value relative to the Index. Unfortunately, poor selection in the Health Care, Information Technology, Industrials and Consumer Discretionary sectors more than offset the positives elsewhere. The primary detractors were Biogen Idec, Inc. (down 37.7%) in the Health Care sector, Qualcomm, Inc. (down 16.2%), International Business Machines Corp. (down 14.6%) and Symantec Corp. (down 34.0%) in the Information Technology sector, Ryder Systems, Inc. (down 25.8%) in Industrials and Ebay, Inc. (down 35.0%) and Harman International Industries, Inc. (down 34.6%) in the Consumer Discretionary sector. Looking forward, the Fund's sub-advisors will continue to maintain a disciplined, long-term approach to equity investing in larger stocks with above average growth potential.

Russell Midcap(TM) Value Index is a trademark of the Frank Russell Company. The Russell Midcap Value Index is an unmanaged index of those stocks in the Russell Midcap Index with below-average price-to-book ratios and below-average forecasted growth values. The Fund underperformed the Index due to stock selection, as sector allocation added value. The Fund's investments in the Consumer Discretionary sector detracted most from performance, due to a large position in Lear Corp. (down 36.6%). Stock selection in the Financials, Information Technology and Utilities sectors also hurt the Fund's performance. In the Financials sector, large positions in TCF Financial Corp. (down 18.7%), South Financial Group, Inc. (down 11.1%) and Janus Capital Group Inc. (down 14.8%) had the largest impact. BearingPoint, Inc. (down 28.9%), was responsible for most of the underperformance in the Information Technology sector, while Pinnacle West Capital Corp. (up 0.6%) had the largest negative impact in the Utilities sector. The Fund's holdings in the Industrials and Health Care sectors added value relative to the Index, but not enough to offset the underperformance of the sectors mentioned above. Sector weightings added to the Fund's performance relative to the Index. A large overweight in Health Care, which was the best performing sector of the Index, and an underweight in Information Technology, the worst performing sector of the Index, were responsible for most of the excess performance attributable to sector allocation. The sub-advisors' philosophy of investing in undervalued companies that exhibit improving profitability and earnings growth potential should allow the Fund to benefit longer-term.

Emerging markets continued to outpace developed markets as robust global economic growth and rising commodity prices bolstered these markets. Investors were also enticed by the asset class' attractive relative valuations, strong corporate earnings and solid economic fundamentals consisting of positive current account balances, stronger currencies against the dollar and stabilized inflation. The period in review, however, did not end without some renewed volatility. After reaching new heights at the start of the year the emerging markets along with other global markets sold-off in March as global risk aversion spiked due to concerns of slowing global growth and rising inflation and interest rates in the U.S. While the parallels to the emerging markets April 2004 sell-off are striking, this year's correction differed from last year's. This year's sell-off was much more orderly compared to last year's experience with market weakness avoiding last year's magnitude. Markets were down on average 10% during this year's correction compared to 20% last year. Nevertheless, similarities were present. After reaching lows in each correction the asset class rebounded strongly as global markets stabilized. The resilience of emerging markets in each period can be attributed to the fact that economies have become more resilient to external shocks thanks to the adoption of better macroeconomic fundamentals, stronger fiscal performance and de-leveraging of corporate balance sheets. In terms of regional performance, Latin America (up 16.3%) was the best performing region, buoyed by strong commodity prices and a recovering U.S. economy. The region's economic growth expanded about 5.5% during the year, supported by a rebound in domestic consumption, strong oil and commodity exports, especially to China. Latin America's shining star, Brazil (up 21.5%), led the way with rising net capital inflows and strong exports. Furthering Brazil's attraction was the government's determination to push forth structural reforms. Mexico, despite recent political concerns, performed well gaining 11.1% as economic and earnings growth remained supportive. Emerging Asia, despite a strong April correction in early cyclical markets such as South Korea and Taiwan followed, returning 13.0%. South Korea, despite correcting in April, was among the best performing markets in the region, returning 20.6%. Investors -- foreign and local -- warmed to improving domestic economic data whilst locals returned to the market after a long absence. Indonesia was also strong, returning 17.8% on the back of improving economic growth and prospects of further economic reforms. The Emerging Europe Middle East and South Africa (EMEA) trailed all regions while returning a respectable 11.7%. Egypt was the best performing market returning 93.1% given attractive valuations, prospects for continued reform-led growth and improving political outlook. The Egyptian market has benefited from an attractive growth outlook given the pick up in structural reform momentum and the significant micro reform progress achieved to date. The reform process received a boost earlier this year from a significant cabinet reshuffle and the formation of a new government, led by Ahmed Nazif, the youngest Prime Minister in Egypt's modern history. Russia, despite rising oil prices, was the worst performing market falling 3.7%. Investor concern that the Yukos affair would lead to further oligarchs being prosecuted hampered market sentiment for much of the period in review. 10 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON EMERGING MARKETS FUND(SM) April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Institutional Class of the Emerging Markets Fund returned 11.86% for the six months ended April 30, 2005.

Fund performance in the table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of shares. 2. Fund performance for the three-year and since inception periods represents the total returns achieved by the Institutional Class from 7/31/00 up to 10/1/02, the inception date of the PlanAhead Class, and the returns of the PlanAhead Class since its inception. Expenses of the PlanAhead Class are higher than those of the Institutional Class. Therefore, total returns shown may be higher than they would have been had the PlanAhead Class been in existence since 7/31/00. 3. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a market capitalization weighted index composed of companies that are representative of the market structure of developing countries in Latin America, Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The Fund underperformed the Index over the six-month period due to Fund expenses, unfavorable country allocation and lower returns in the cash equitization account than the Index. Country allocation detracted value despite the Fund overweighting Egypt, which was the top-performing market for the six-month period with a return of over 90%. Unfortunately, the Fund also overweighted South Africa, which only gained 8.8%, and underweighted the Czech Republic (up 36.3%), South Korea (up 21.6%) and Israel (up 20.4%). Stock selection was positive in South Africa and South Korea, but was largely offset in Taiwan, Mexico and Egypt. In South Africa, MTN Group gained 31.0%, while Korea Electric Power returned 46.1% in South Korea. In Taiwan, United Microelectronics dropped 2.7% during the period, and in Mexico, Telefonos de Mexico gained less than 1%. In Egypt, despite owning five stocks that each gained over 30%, each of these stocks underperformed the country return of over 90%. The Fund's basic philosophy remains focused on investing in undervalued companies with above-average earnings growth expectations. Investing in foreign equities entails additional risk not associated with domestic equities, such as currency fluctuations, economic and political instability and differences in accounting standards. The risks of investing in foreign equities are heightened when investing in emerging markets.

By the end of October, the Lehman Index spread over Treasuries had shrunk to 373, the tightest since July 1998. BB's had contracted to 219 and BB-B spread was 122, the tightest since the first half of 1998. The overall index spread would have been lower were it not for CCC's, which were averaging 306 over B's, still above the 242 spread reached in January 2004. In that environment, several BB's were trading as tight as 150 bps, which hardly met the traditional standard for high yield. At 12/31/2004, the Lehman Index reached 319 basis points over Treasuries. These spreads touched levels not reached since 1997 and 1986. Due to investors' thirst for yield, quality spreads compressed. The most striking was the difference between B's and BB's. In July 2002 it was 402. A year ago it was 147. At 2004 year-end, it was at an all-time low of 103 basis points. Part of the reason was a low occurrence of company distress, creating a better chance that today's B could be tomorrow's BB and today's BB could reach investment grade. These possibilities were mirrored in rating agency upgrades and downgrades, which reached their best ratio in seven years. For only the second time since 1990, the high yield market had a negative January total return, albeit a slim -0.13% for the Lehman Index. One possible cause of the market's performance was a $1.1 billion January outflow from mutual funds, the largest since May 2004. High yield spreads widened slightly in January, after last year's long, steady narrowing. One factor that has rattled the market was a potential downgrade of General Motors. It normally doesn't take equity or debt markets nearly as long to correct as it does for them to advance. Such was the case with the high yield market in March. Yield spreads widened out with stunning swiftness. On February 28, the J.P. Morgan High Yield Index was 309 basis points over Treasuries. The trough was 299 basis points on March 11. By month-end, barely 20 days later, spreads widened to 372 basis points. Price declines of 4-6 points on longer dated bonds were not uncommon. So what was the culprit? Sometimes the cause of a market correction is obvious, other times much more subtle. The biggest factors were: 1) the profit warning at General Motors and the attendant meltdown of its bonds (current spread is 490 bps over Treasuries; 2) new high on 5-year Treasury yields (not seen for three years); 3) a spike in oil prices back to $57; and 4) a $3.3 billion month of mutual fund outflow. A dormant market that paid little attention to varying risk levels awoke from its hibernation in April. The BB to B spread rose from 107 to 133 basis points and the CCC to B jumped from 244 to 315, both the widest levels since September. Market concern over a potential "ripple" effect from General Motors was evident in some institutional "rebalancing" away from high yield and another month of mutual fund outflows. Fortunately, the supply side of the picture was well under control as new issuance was the lowest since October 2002. As a result, the high yield market, which seemed destined to break $1 trillion at some time in 2004, has continued to hold steady in the $920 billion range. The coming months will prove to be very interesting for the high yield market. Will the credit spreads continue to tighten and allow questionable deals to be sold due to a seemingly insatiable appetite? Or will the market stabilize as continued economic growth provides a positive environment for companies to increase earnings and improve their balance sheets? The market consensus is that the highest probability for high yield's total return for the remainder of 2005 is between 5% and 6%, as returns are driven by individual company fundamental results rather than a big supply/demand imbalance or a rapid change in interest rates. 13 DOMESTIC BOND MARKET OVERVIEW -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTMENT GRADE For the six-month period ended April 30, 2005, the investment grade fixed-income market, as defined by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index (the "Index"), produced a 0.98% total return. For the first time since 2002, the U.S. Credit sector did not post the highest returns in the Index. Of the major asset classes, U.S. Credit returned 0.57%, Agencies returned 0.61%, Treasuries returned 0.96%, and Mortgages led the group at 1.44% during the period. The Treasury yield curve continued to flatten as the Federal Reserve Bank raised short-term interest rates while longer-term rates remained steady. The Federal Funds Rate was 2.75% at period end; however, it increased to 3.00% shortly thereafter. Additionally, further Fed rate hikes were priced into the market going forward. The U.S. Credit sector underperformed during this period as yield spreads widened in response to volatility in the auto sector. Due to the sheer size of the auto sector, the effects of its credit deterioration were felt across the entire credit market. Within the credit spectrum, triple-B rated securities posted the lowest returns at 0.01%, and triple-A rated securities returned 1.10%. <Table> <Caption> TOTAL RETURNS ---------------------- PERIODS ENDED 4/30/05 ---------------------- 6 MONTH 12 MONTH ------- -------- Lehman Aggregate 0.98% 5.26% Lehman Gov/Credit 0.75% 5.13% - ----------------------------------------------------- SECTOR U.S. Treasury 0.96% 5.19% U.S. Agency 0.61% 4.08% Mortgage-Backed 1.44% 5.62% Commercial MBS 0.44% 4.85% U.S. Credit 0.57% 5.51% Asset-Backed 0.43% 2.99% - ----------------------------------------------------- CREDIT RATING Aaa 1.07% 5.14% Aa 0.71% 5.02% A 1.10% 6.04% Baa 0.01% 5.49% </Table> (source: Lehman Brothers) The Federal Reserve Bank maintained its measured pace of raising the Federal Funds Rate throughout the period. Their attention was focused on the increase in recent inflation indicators and on the stabilization in the job market, but neither of these factors was enough to encourage longer-term interest rates to rise. By historical standards, this recovery has been relatively slow, which has led many participants to doubt its sustainability. Additionally, the recent volatility in the credit markets sent many investors into the safe haven of Treasury securities. At period end, the Fed was nearing a point where further increases in short-term interest rates would threaten the positive slope of the Treasury yield curve. The Fed has several more months to monitor economic and market data, but longer-term interest rates may ultimately limit its remaining monetary policy considerations.

Sharp earnings and cash flow reductions prompted the credit rating agencies to place the ratings of these auto manufacturers, and of the underlying suppliers, on watch for downgrade. The impacts of rising gasoline prices and strong foreign competition have steadily eroded the competitive advantage of the U.S. auto manufacturing sector. In total, auto sales are still very strong, at approximately 17 million units per year, but shrinking margins and the consumers' shift from large trucks to smaller vehicles has been costly for the domestic manufacturers. 14 DOMESTIC BOND MARKET OVERVIEW -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The size of the auto sector's outstanding debt, and its carryover effects on the high yield market, weighed heavily on the entire credit market. Spreads rose accordingly, and lower rated credits underperformed higher rated names. Also adding to volatility was an increase in pressure from equity investors who demanded greater returns. In recent months, aggressive shareholder actions led to increased leverage and other shareholder-friendly initiatives -- leaving bondholders with wider credit spreads. Though the economy has been improving gradually, the credit markets felt the pressure of the auto sector volatility and of a more aggressive equity investor.

In general, Mortgages perform well when longer-term rates are range bound and when refinancing activity is low and stable. The high credit quality of this sector helped too. Although criticism of the government agencies' accounting and management practices continued during the period, their underlying mortgage-backed and unsecured bonds performed well. Overall, the broad fixed-income markets posted positive returns during this period despite rising interest rates. In the past, a recovering economy and a rising Federal Funds Rate did not bode well for the bond market. However, given the mild recovery, the comfortable level of inflation, and the strong demand for Treasuries, fixed-income markets performed relatively well. 15 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON HIGH YIELD BOND FUND(SM) April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Institutional Class of the High Yield Bond Fund returned -0.29% for the six months ended April 30, 2005. The Lipper High Current Yield Funds Index returned 0.31% and the Lehman Brothers Corporate High Yield Index ("Lehman Index") posted a return of 0.08% for the six-month period. Although the Fund trailed its indices for the six-month period, it has outperformed for the calendar year-to-date period. <Table> <Caption> ANNUALIZED TOTAL RETURNS -------------------------------------- PERIODS ENDED 4/30/05 -------------------------------------- SINCE 6 MONTHS* 1 YEARS 3 YEARS INCEP. --------- ------- ------- ------ Institutional Class(1)... -0.29% 4.75% 8.86% 9.41% PlanAhead Class(1, 2).... -0.50% 4.48% 8.47% 8.97% Service Class(1,3)....... -0.66% 4.07% 8.00% 8.64% Lehman Bros.

Expenses of the PlanAhead Class are higher than those of the Institutional Class. As a result, total returns shown may be higher than they would have been had the PlanAhead Class been in existence since 12/29/00. 3. Fund performance for the since inception period represents the total returns achieved by the Institutional Class from 12/29/00 up to 3/1/02, the returns of the PlanAhead Class from 3/1/02 up to 5/1/03 (the inception date of the Service Class), and the returns of the Service Class since its inception. Expenses of the Service Class are higher than those of the Institutional and PlanAhead Classes. As a result, total returns shown may be higher than they would have been had the Service Class been in existence since 12/29/00. 4. The Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Index is an unmanaged index of fixed income securities with a maximum credit rating of Ba1, a minimum amount outstanding of $100 million, and at least one year to maturity. The Fund, relative to the Lehman Index, was underweighted in two (Transportation and Communication) of the top three best performing sectors. The Transportation and Communication sectors outperformed the Lehman Index with returns of 2.9% and 1.5%, respectively. The Fund was also impacted by an overweighting in the Consumer Cyclical sector, the worst sector for the period, as it dropped 2.1%. The Fund had an overweighting in Financials (the best sector for the period with a return of 6.0%) and Consumer Non-Cyclicals (up 0.6%) as both sectors outperformed the Lehman Index. Additionally, the Fund underweighted the Energy and Utility sectors, which both failed to outperform the Lehman Index with returns of -0.2% and 0.0%, respectively. The sub-advisor's "bottom up" investment process, with a focus on companies with strong cash flow and fundamental credit strength, began to come back into favor as the period came to a close. Higher-rated securities reversed course from 2004 and outperformed the lower-rated securities in the first four months of 2005. The sub-advisor believes that its comprehensive research approach, which has generated outperformance for the Fund in the past, will continue to deliver strong performance over the long term. Investing in high yield securities involves additional risks when compared to investing in investment grade securities. These include a greater risk of default or bankruptcy and an increased sensitivity to financial difficulties or changes in interest rates. 16 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON HIGH YIELD BOND FUND(SM) -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP TEN HOLDINGS <Table> <Caption> % OF NET ASSETS ---------- Echostar DBS Corporation, 6.625%, Due 10/1/2014, 144A 1.6% Qwest Services Corporation, 14.00%, Due 12/15/2010, 144A 1.3% UNOVA, Incorporated, 7.00%, Due 3/15/2008 1.2% Kabel Deutschland GMBH, 10.625%, Due 7/1/2014, 144A 1.1% Turning Stone Casino Resort, 9.125%, Due 12/15/2010, 144A 1.1% HCA, Incorporated, 8.36%, Due 4/15/2024 1.0% Biovail Corporation, 7.875%, Due 4/1/2010 1.0% Transdigm, Incorporated, 8.375%, Due 7/15/2011 0.9% Unisys Corporation, 7.875%, 4/1/2008 0.9% Woolworth Corporation, 8.50%, Due 1/15/2022 0.9% </Table> SECTOR ALLOCATION <Table> <Caption> % OF FIXED INCOME ------------ Corporate 100.0% </Table> 17 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON ENHANCED INCOME FUND(SM) April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The PlanAhead Class of the Enhanced Income Fund returned 0.16% for the six months ended April 30, 2005. Its benchmark, a blend of 75% Lehman Brothers Gov/Credit Intermediate Index and 25% Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index ("Benchmark"), returned -0.48%.

Fund performance shown in the table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of shares. 2. 75% Lehman Bros. Gov/Credit Intermediate Index, 25% Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index. The Lehman Bros. Gov./Credit Intermediate Index is an unmanaged index of investment grade corporate and government debt issues with maturities between one and ten years. The Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index is an unmanaged index of domestic securities convertible into U.S. dollar-denominated common stock, ADRs or cash equivalents with greater than $50 million aggregate market value at issuance. The Merrill Lynch Index includes securities of all quality grades. The Fund's assets have been allocated approximately 75% to American Beacon Advisors, Inc. (the "Manager") which invests primarily in income producing, short- and intermediate-term investment grade bonds and 25% to a sub-advisor which invests in securities including convertible bonds, convertible preferreds, high yield bonds and equities in order to try to enhance the return of the overall Fund. For the six-month period, the investment grade bond portion of the Fund returned 0.6% compared to a 0.0% return for Lehman Brothers Gov/Credit Intermediate Index ("Lehman Index"). The Corporate sector of the Lehman Index produced negative returns for the period primarily due to spread widening induced by deteriorating fundamentals within the auto industry. Although the Manager's portion of the Fund was overweight Corporates, value was added relative to the Lehman Index in this sector through good security selection. Likewise, security selection in the Treasuries sector was positive for relative returns. In addition, the Manager's holdings in Mortgages added value, since they produced higher returns than any other sector in the Manager's portion of the Fund. Overall, the duration of the Manager's portion of the Fund was neutral to the Lehman Index during the six-month period. The remaining portion of the Fund managed by the Fund's sub-advisor returned -1.2%. These results beat the -2.1% return of the Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index ("ML Index") but were a drag on the Fund's absolute return. This portion of the Fund benefited most from owning corporate bonds and from owning fewer non-investment grade convertible securities relative to the ML Index. The Fund's investment advisors remain focused on the Fund's investment objectives of generating income and capital appreciation.

Fund performance for the since inception period represents the total returns achieved by the Institutional Class from 9/15/97 up to 3/2/98, the inception date of the PlanAhead Class, and the returns of the PlanAhead Class since its inception. Expenses of the PlanAhead Class are higher than those of the Institutional Class. As a result, total returns shown may be higher than they would have been had the PlanAhead Class been in existence since 9/15/97. 3. Since inception return is from 8/31/97. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index is a market value weighted index of government, corporate, mortgage-backed and asset-backed fixed-rate debt securities of all maturities. The Fund added value relative to the Index due to security selection primarily in the U.S. Treasuries and Corporate sectors. In the U.S. Treasury sector, outperformance was a result of the Fund holding longer duration Treasuries that outperformed during the period. The Fund's holdings in the Corporate sector outperformed the Index, which accounted for some excess performance. However, the Fund's overweight in the sector, which was an underperforming sector within the Index, offset the gains achieved through security selection. The Fund also added value by underweighting Agencies, but that added value was lost through poor selection in the sector. The Fund's duration was generally somewhat longer than the Index over the course of the six months, which proved to be beneficial. The Fund's investment managers remain focused on a conservative approach toward investing in the bond market, focusing on issuer-specific opportunities TOP TEN HOLDINGS <Table> <Caption> % OF NET ASSETS ---------- Federal National Mortgage Association, Pool #725238, 5.00%, Due 3/1/2034 3.1% Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, 6.00%, Due 12/11/2033 2.2% Federal National Mortgage Association, Discount Note, Due 6/13/2005 2.2% U.S. Treasury Notes, 3.375%, Due 9/15/2009 2.2% Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, 4.25%, Due 7/15/2009 1.9% Government National Mortgage Association, Pool #003515, 5.50%, Due 2/20/2034 1.8% U.S. Treasury Notes, 4.625%, Due 5/15/2006 1.6% Federal National Mortgage Association, Pool #254545, 5.00%, Due 12/1/2017 1.5% Federal National Mortgage Association, Pool #555880, 5.50%, Due 11/1/2033 1.5% U.S. Treasury Bonds, 5.375%, Due 2/15/2031 1.4% </Table> SECTOR ALLOCATION <Table> <Caption> % OF FIXED INCOME ------------ Mortgage-Backed 38.7% Corporates 33.5% U.S. Treasury 15.5% U.S. Agency 9.7% Asset-Backed 2.6% </Table> 20 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON SHORT-TERM BOND FUND(SM) April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Institutional Class of the Short-Term Bond Fund returned 0.10% for the six months ended April 30, 2005, ahead of the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Gov/Corp Index (the "Index") return of 0.05% but below the Lipper Short Investment Grade Bond Funds Index ("Lipper") return of 0.33%. <Table> <Caption> ANNUALIZED TOTAL RETURNS --------------------------------------- PERIODS ENDED 4/30/05 --------------------------------------- 6 MONTHS* 1 YEAR 5 YEARS 10 YEARS --------- ------ ------- -------- Institutional Class(1)............. 0.10% 1.34% 5.02% 5.34% PlanAhead Class(1)..... -0.18% 0.89% 4.52% 4.84% Lipper Short Inv.

Fund performance in the table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of shares. 2. The Merrill Lynch 1-3 Yr. Gov./Corp. Index is a market value weighted performance benchmark for government and corporate fixed-rate debt securities with maturities between one and three years. According to the Index, the Agency sector produced the highest total return, at 0.12%, followed by Corporates at 0.04%, and Treasuries at 0.01%. Outside of the Index, the 0-3 year Mortgage sector produced a 1.00% total return, the "AAA" rated Credit Card Asset Backed Sector and the Auto Asset Backed sectors returned approximately 0.25%. The Fund's largest position, 69.5% of assets, was in the Corporate sector where the Fund was overweight both the Index and Lipper. The Fund's Corporate holdings outperformed the Index due to their relatively short duration, in a rising interest rate environment, and due to security selection. The Corporate sector, in general, began to experience volatility towards period end as the auto sector downgrades and other credit events caused spreads to widen. The Fund was somewhat protected from the spread widening due to its short duration in this sector. The Fund's second largest position, 20.4% of assets, was invested in "AAA" rated Auto and Credit Card Asset Backed securities, and produced a total return of 0.28%. This overweight position contributed to the outperformance relative to the Index as this sector outperformed all of the Index sectors due primarily to its high credit quality. Finally, the Fund held a small position in the Mortgage sector, 4.5% of assets, which contributed to the Fund's outperformance relative to the Index as this sector outperformed all of the Index sectors. Mortgages benefited from their relatively short duration in a rising interest rate environment and from a decline in prepayment activity during the period. The Fund's position, however, was underweight relative to Lipper and accounted for some of the Fund's underperformance relative to Lipper. Overall, the Fund benefited from its slightly short duration and from security selection within the Corporate sector. Its holdings in the Mortgage and Asset Backed sectors also contributed to performance. Given the outlook for short-term interest rates and credit spreads, the Fund will likely maintain a similar posture going forward. 21 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON SHORT-TERM BOND FUND(SM) -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP TEN HOLDINGS <Table> <Caption> % OF NET ASSETS ---------- Prudential Insurance Company of America, 6.375%, Due 7/23/2006, 144A 3.3% Chemical Master Credit Card Trust 1996-2 A, 5.98%, Due 9/15/2008 3.2% Federal National Mortgage Association, 2.75%, Due 8/15/2006 3.2% Hertz Corporation, 4.70%, Due 10/2/2006 3.1% Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust 2004-A4 A4, 3.20%, Due 8/24/2009 3.1% MetLife Global Funding I, 3.375%, Due 10/5/2007, 144A 3.1% DaimlerChrysler Auto Trust 2004-C A4, 3.28%, Due 12/8/2009 3.1% Wachovia Corporation, 6.40%, Due 4/1/2008 2.9% Heller Financial, Incorporated, 6.375%, Due 3/15/2006 2.7% Synovus Financial Corporation, 7.25%, Due 12/15/2005 2.7% </Table> SECTOR ALLOCATION <Table> <Caption> % OF FIXED INCOME ------------ Corporates 69.5% Asset-Backed 20.4% Agency 5.6% Mortgage-Backed 4.5% </Table> 22 FUND EXPENSES April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FUND EXPENSE EXAMPLE As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees if applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, administrative service fees, and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a particular Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period in each Class and held for the entire period from November 1, 2004 through April 30, 2005. ACTUAL EXPENSES The following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid During Period" row estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Shareholders of the PlanAhead and Institutional Classes that invest in a Fund through an IRA may be subject to a custodial IRA fee of $12 that is typically deducted each December. If your account was subject to a custodial IRA fee during the period, your costs would have been $12 higher. <Table> <Caption> LARGE CAP LARGE CAP MID-CAP EMERGING HIGH YIELD INTERMEDIATE SHORT-TERM INSTITUTIONAL CLASS BALANCED VALUE GROWTH VALUE MARKETS BOND BOND BOND - ------------------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------- ------------ ---------- Beginning Account Value 11/1/04................... $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 Ending Account Value 4/30/05................... $1,061.79 $1,087.52 $1,003.00 $1,066.14 $1,118.58 $ 997.11 $,1010.98 $1,000.97 Expenses Paid During Period* 11/1/04-4/30/05........... $ 2.73 $ 3.20 $ 3.74 $ 5.19 $ 8.13 $ 4.20 $ 1.59 $ 1.61 Annualized Expense Ratio.... 0.53% 0.62% 0.75% 1.01% 1.55% 0.85% 0.32% 0.32% </Table> <Table> <Caption> LARGE CAP EMERGING HIGH YIELD ENHANCED INTERMEDIATE SHORT-TERM PLANAHEAD CLASS BALANCED VALUE MARKETS BOND INCOME BOND BOND - --------------- --------- --------- --------- ---------- --------- ------------ ---------- Beginning Account Value 11/1/04........................ $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 Ending Account Value 4/30/05..... $1,059.31 $1,085.96 $1,117.44 $ 994.97 $1,001.63 $1,006.92 $ 998.17 Expenses Paid During Period* 11/1/04-4/30/05................ $ 4.48 $ 4.48 $ 10.30 $ 5.39 $ 4.92 $ 4.73 $ 4.45 Annualized Expense Ratio......... 0.88% 0.87% 1.96% 1.09% 0.99% 0.95% 0.90% </Table> <Table> <Caption> HIGH YIELD SERVICE CLASS BOND - ------------- ---------- Beginning Account Value 11/1/04...................... $1,000.00 Ending Account Value 4/30/05... $ 993.41 Expenses Paid During Period* 11/1/04-4/30/05.............. $ 7.24 Annualized Expense Ratio....... 1.46% </Table> <Table> <Caption> LARGE CAP LARGE CAP EMERGING AMR CLASS BALANCED VALUE GROWTH MARKETS - --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Beginning Account Value 11/1/04...................... $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 Ending Account Value 4/30/05... $1,062.03 $1,089.05 $1,003.09 $1,119.59 Expenses Paid During Period* 11/1/04-4/30/05.............. $ 1.73 $ 1.87 $ 3.36 $ 6.71 Annualized Expense Ratio....... 0.34% 0.36% 0.68% 1.28% </Table> - --------------- * Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratios for the six-month period multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number derived by dividing the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (181) by days in the year (365) to reflect the half-year period. 23 FUND EXPENSES April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the Fund's actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in a particular Fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. Shareholders of the PlanAhead and Institutional Classes that invest in a Fund through an IRA may be subject to a custodial IRA fee of $12 that is typically deducted each December. If your account was subject to a custodial IRA fee during the period, your costs would have been $12 higher. You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs charged by a Fund. Similarly, the expense examples for other funds do not reflect any transaction costs charged by those funds, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the "Expenses Paid During Period" lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If you were subject to any transaction costs during the period, your costs would have been higher. <Table> <Caption> LARGE CAP LARGE CAP MID-CAP EMERGING HIGH YIELD INTERMEDIATE SHORT-TERM INSTITUTIONAL CLASS BALANCED VALUE GROWTH VALUE MARKETS BOND BOND BOND -

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES American Beacon Funds (the "Trust"), formerly known as the American AAdvantage Funds, is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended, as a no load, open-end management investment company. These financial statements and notes to the financial statements relate to the American Beacon Balanced Fund, the American Beacon Large Cap Value Fund, the American Beacon Large Cap Growth Fund, the American Beacon Mid-Cap Value Fund, the American Beacon Emerging Markets Fund, the American Beacon High Yield Bond Fund, the American Beacon Enhanced Income Fund, the American Beacon Intermediate Bond Fund and the American Beacon Short-Term Bond Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), each a series of the Trust. American Beacon Advisors, Inc. (the "Manager"), formerly known as AMR Investment Services, Inc., is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, Inc. ("American"), and was organized in 1986 to provide business management, advisory, administrative and asset management consulting services to the Trust and other investors. Class Disclosure Each Fund, except the Mid-Cap Value and Enhanced Income Fund, has multiple classes of shares designed to meet the needs of different groups of investors. Please note that not all Funds offer all classes. The following table sets forth the differences amongst the classes: <Table> <Caption> CLASS: OFFERED TO: SERVICE AND DISTRIBUTION FEES: - ------ ----------- ------------------------------ INSTITUTIONAL CLASS Investors making an initial investment of $2 million Administrative Service 0.25% Fee -- PLANAHEAD CLASS General public and investors investing through an Administrative Service 0.25% intermediary Fee -- 0.25% Service Fee -- SERVICE CLASS Investors investing through an intermediary Administrative Service 0.25% Fee -- 0.25% Service Fee -- 0.25% Distribution Fee -- AMR CLASS Investors in the tax-exempt retirement and benefit plans of N/A AMR Corporation and its affiliates </Table> Investment income, net capital gains (losses) and all expenses incurred by the Funds are allocated based on the relative net assets of each class, except for service fees and certain other fees and expenses related solely to one class of shares. Reorganization Intermediate Bond and Short-Term Bond Funds Effective March 1, 2005, the existing Institutional Class of the Intermediate Bond and Short-Term Bond Funds was terminated, and Institutional Class shares were exchanged for AMR Class shares of each Fund. Following the exchange, the former AMR Class of shares for these Funds was renamed Institutional Class. Security Valuation Investments are valued at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the Exchange is open for business. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 85 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities (other than short-term securities) normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service and may take into account appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. When a price is unavailable from a pricing service or when the price provided by the pricing service is deemed not to represent fair value, the prices of debt securities may be determined using quotes obtained from brokers. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of the mutual fund on the day of valuation. Investment grade short-term obligations with 60 days or less to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method which approximates market value. Securities for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate, or are deemed not to reflect fair value, are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith and pursuant to procedures approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Most foreign markets close before the Exchange. Developments that could affect the values of securities that occur between the close of a foreign market and the close of the Exchange normally will not be reflected in security valuations. If such developments are so significant such that they will, in the judgement of the pricing committee of the Funds, clearly and materially affect the value of securities, the previous closing prices may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the securities as of the close of the Exchange, as determined in good faith and pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. Adjustments to closing prices to reflect fair value on affected foreign securities may be provided by an independent pricing service. Security Transactions and Investment Income Security transactions are recorded on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the information is available to the Funds. Interest income is earned from settlement date, recorded on the accrual basis, and adjusted, if necessary, for accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific lot identification. Currency Translation All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currency values are converted into U.S. dollar values at the mean of the bid and ask prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as last quoted by a recognized dealer. Income, expenses and purchases and sales of investments are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and is reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund's Statement of Operations. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 86 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forward Foreign Currency Contracts The Emerging Markets Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge the exchange rate risk on investment transactions or to hedge the value of fund securities denominated in foreign currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the forward exchange rate prevailing on the day of valuation. Repurchase Agreements Under the terms of a repurchase agreement, securities are acquired by a Fund from a securities dealer or a bank which are subject to resale at a later date. Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized. The collateral is monitored daily by each Fund so that the collateral's market value equals or exceeds the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. Futures Contracts Futures contracts are contracts to buy or sell a standard quantity of securities at a specified price on a future date. The Balanced, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Growth, Mid-Cap Value, Emerging Markets, High Yield Bond and Enhanced Income Funds may enter into financial futures contracts as a method for keeping assets readily convertible to cash if needed to meet shareholder redemptions or for other needs while maintaining exposure to the stock or bond market, as applicable. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the values of the contracts and the underlying securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to set aside or deposit with a broker an amount, termed the initial margin, which typically represents 5% of the face value of the futures contract. The initial margin amount is reflected as Deposit with broker for futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the Large Cap Growth Fund. The other Funds reflect this amount on the Schedules of Investments as a US Treasury Bill held as collateral for futures contracts. Payments to and from the broker, known as variation margin, are required to be made on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates. Changes in initial settlement values are accounted for as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are terminated, at which time realized gains and losses are recognized. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price established each day by the exchange on which they are traded. Dividends to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income of the Balanced, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Growth, Mid-Cap Value, and Emerging Markets Funds normally will be declared and paid annually. The High Yield Bond, Enhanced Income, Intermediate Bond and Short-Term Bond Funds generally declare dividends from net investment income daily, payable monthly. Distributions, if any, of net realized capital gains are generally paid annually and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Commission Recapture The Funds have established brokerage commission recapture arrangements with certain brokers or dealers. If a Fund's investment advisor chooses to execute a transaction through a participating broker, the broker rebates a portion of the commission back to the Fund. Any collateral benefit - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 87 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- received through participation in the commission recapture program is directed exclusively to the Fund. Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 estimated. Redemption Fees The Emerging Markets Fund imposes a 2% redemption fee on certain Institutional and PlanAhead Class shares held for less than 90 days. The fee is deducted from the redemption proceeds and is intended to offset the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with short-term trading activity in the Fund. The "first-in, first-out" method is used to determine the holding period. Other Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnification to the other party or parties against potential costs or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated. The Trust has had no prior claims or losses pursuant to any such agreement. 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Management Agreement The Trust and the Manager are parties to a Management Agreement that obligates the Manager to provide or oversee the provision of all administrative, investment advisory, fund management and securities lending services. Investment assets of the Balanced, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Growth, Mid-Cap Value, Emerging Markets, High Yield Bond, Enhanced Income and Intermediate Bond Funds are managed by multiple investment advisors which have entered into separate investment advisory agreements with the Manager. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Management Agreement, the Manager receives from the Balanced Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, High Yield Bond Fund and Enhanced Income Fund an annualized fee equal to .10% of the average daily net assets plus amounts paid by the Manager to the investment advisors hired by the Manager to direct investment activities of the Funds. The Manager receives an annualized fee of ..25% of the average daily net assets of the - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 88 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intermediate Bond Fund and pays a portion of their fee to an investment advisor hired by the Manager to direct investment activities of a portion of the Fund. Management fees paid during the six months ended April 30, 2005 were as follows (dollars in thousands): <Table> <Caption> AMOUNTS PAID TO NET AMOUNTS MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT RETAINED BY FEE RATE FEE ADVISORS MANAGER ----------- ---------- --------------- ----------- Balanced Fund...................................... .225%-.70% $1,009 $ 653 $356 Large Cap Value Fund............................... .225%-.70% 1,521 1,014 507 Large Cap Growth Fund.............................. .35%-.55% 173 144 29 Mid-Cap Value Fund................................. .40%-.90% 101 87 14 Emerging Markets Fund.............................. .80%-1.20% 435 384 51 High Yield Bond Fund............................... 1.52% 1,017 822 195 Enhanced Income Fund............................... .25%-.85% 196 141 55 Intermediate Bond Fund............................. .25% 118 46 72 </Table> The Manager serves as the sole investment advisor to the Short-Term Bond Fund. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager receives from the Fund an annualized fee equal to .25% of the average daily net assets of the Short-Term Bond Fund. As compensation for services provided by the Manager in connection with securities lending activities, the lending Fund pays to the Manager, with respect to cash collateral posted by borrowers, a fee up to 25% of the net monthly interest income (the gross interest income earned by the investment of cash collateral, less the amount paid to borrowers and related expenses) from such activities and, with respect to loan fees paid by borrowers when a borrower posts collateral other than cash, a fee up to 25% of such loan fees. During the six months ended April 30, 2005, securities lending fees paid to the Manager were as follows (in thousands): <Table> Balanced Fund............................................... $15 Large Cap Value Fund........................................ 13 Emerging Markets Fund....................................... 1 High Yield Bond Fund........................................ 16 Enhanced Income Fund........................................ 3 Intermediate Bond Fund...................................... 2 </Table> Administrative Services Agreement The Manager and the Trust entered into an Administrative Services Agreement which obligates the Manager to provide or oversee administrative and management services to the Funds. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Administrative Services Agreement, the Manager receives an annualized fee of ..25% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional, PlanAhead and Service Classes of each of the Funds. Distribution Plans The Trust, except for the Service Class of the Funds, has adopted a "defensive" Distribution Plan (the "Plan") in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, pursuant to which no fees may be charged to the Funds for distribution purposes. However, the Plan authorizes the management fees received by the Manager and the investment advisors hired by the Manager to be used for distribution purposes. Under this Plan, the Trust does not intend to - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- compensate the Manager or any other party, either directly or indirectly, for the distribution of Trust shares. A separate Distribution Plan (the "Distribution Plan") has been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act for the Service Class of the Funds. Under the Distribution Plan, as compensation for distribution assistance, the Manager receives an annual fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class. The fee will be payable without regard to whether the amount of the fee is more or less than the actual expenses incurred in a particular month by the Manager for distribution assistance. Service Plans The Manager and the Trust entered into Service Plans that obligate the Manager to oversee additional shareholder servicing of the PlanAhead and Service Classes. As compensation for performing the duties required under the Service Plans, the Manager receives 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the PlanAhead and Service Classes of each Fund. Brokerage Commissions Affiliated entities of a subadvisor to the Large Cap Growth Fund received net commissions on purchases and sales of the Fund's portfolio securities totaling $696 for the six months ended April 30, 2005. Investment in Affiliated Funds The Funds are permitted, pursuant to an exemptive order by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and approved procedures by the Board, to invest up to 25% of its total assets in the American Beacon Money Market Select Fund (the "Select Fund"), an affiliated fund. The Funds and the Select Fund have the same investment advisor and therefore, are considered to be affiliated. Cash collateral received by certain Funds in connection with securities lending may be invested in the Select Fund and the American Beacon Enhanced Cash Trust (the "Business Trust") (collectively, the "Affiliated Funds"). The Manager serves as Trustee and investment advisor to the Affiliated Funds and receives from the Affiliated Funds an annualized fee equal to 0.10% of the average daily net assets. During the period, fees earned by the Manager from the Affiliated Funds were as follows: <Table> <Caption> SECURITIES LENDING DIRECT INVESTMENT COLLATERAL INVESTED IN FUNDS IN FUNDS TOTAL ----------------- ------------------- ------- Balanced.................................................... $21,867 $48,230 $70,097 Large Cap Value............................................. 41,290 27,496 68,786 Large Cap Growth............................................ 485 -- 485 Mid-Cap Value............................................... 944 756 1,700 Emerging Markets............................................ 4,114 1,070 5,184 High Yield Bond............................................. 8,412 -- 8,412 Enhanced Income............................................. 1,660 9,550 11,210 Intermediate Bond........................................... 1,699 7,866 9,565 Short-Term Bond............................................. 600 651 1,251 </Table> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 90 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Certain officers or Trustees of the Trust are also current or former officers or employees of the Manager or American. The Trust makes no direct payments to its officers. Mr. Feld and the non-interested Trustees (other than Mr. O'Sullivan) and their spouses are provided free unlimited air transportation on American. Retired Trustees and their spouses are provided free transportation on American, up to a maximum annual value of $40,000. The Trust compensates each Trustee with payments in an amount equal to the Trustee's income tax on the value of this free airline travel. Mr. O'Sullivan, as a retiree of American, already receives flight benefits. This Trustee receives an annual retainer of $40,000 plus $1,250 for each Board meeting attended. At April 30, 2005, AMR Corporation and subsidiary companies and Employee Benefit Trusts thereof owned 100% of AMR Class shares of the Funds, 100% of the Institutional Class of the Mid-Cap Value Fund, 98% of the Institutional Class of the Intermediate Bond Fund and 87% of the Institutional Class of the Short-Term Bond Fund. Interfund Lending Program Pursuant to an exemptive order by the SEC, the Funds along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with the Manager, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating Funds. At April 30, 2005, the Funds had not utilized the credit facility. Reimbursement of Expenses The Manager contractually agreed to reimburse the following Funds for other expenses through February 28, 2006 to the extent that total annual fund operating expenses exceed the following amounts: <Table> <Caption> FUND CLASS EXPENSE CAP - ---- ----- ----------- Large Cap Growth............................................

FEDERAL INCOME AND EXCISE TAXES It is the policy of each of the Funds to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all net investment income as well as any net realized capital gains on the sale of investments. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. Dividends are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may treat certain transactions differently than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

SECURITIES LENDING Each Fund may lend its securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers, to earn additional income. The borrowers are required to secure their loans continuously with collateral in an amount at least equal to 102% (for loans of US securities) or 105% (for non-US securities) of the market value of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. Collateral is marked to market and monitored daily. To the extent that a loan is collateralized by cash, such collateral shall be invested by the securities lending agent (the "Agent") in short-term instruments, money market mutual funds, and such other short-term investments, provided the investments meet certain quality and diversification requirements. Income generated from the investment of cash collateral, less negotiated rebate fees paid to participating brokers and transaction costs, is divided between the Fund and the Agent and is recorded as income for the Fund. To the extent that a loan is secured by non-cash collateral, brokers pay the Fund negotiated lenders' fees, which are divided between the Fund and the Agent and are recorded as securities lending income for the Fund. The Fund also continues to receive income on the securities loaned, and any gain or loss in the market priced of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. Risks to the Fund in securities lending transactions are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, and that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 95 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED April 30, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At April 30, 2005, the value of outstanding securities on loan and the value of collateral was as follows (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> MARKET VALUE OF FUND SECURITIES ON LOAN CASH COLLATERAL - ---- ------------------ --------------- Balanced.................................................... $111,247 $113,505 Large Cap Value............................................. 53,931 54,815 Large Cap Growth............................................ 213 216 Mid-Cap Value............................................... 2,788 2,845 Emerging Markets............................................ 6,146 6,268 High Yield Bond............................................. 30,071 31,306 Enhanced Income............................................. 17,694 18,038 Intermediate Bond........................................... 20,241 20,641 Short Term Bond............................................. 1,003 1,024 </Table> The Custodian for each Fund, other than High Yield Bond, invested the cash collateral in the Business Trust and the Select Fund.

Non-Cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or repledged; therefore, non-cash collateral is not included on the Fund's Schedule of Investments or Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 6.

Legal counsel provided the Trustees with a memorandum detailing their responsibilities pertaining to the renewal of the Management and Investment Advisory Agreements. This memorandum explained the regulatory requirements surrounding the Trustees' process for evaluating investment advisors and the terms of the contracts. CONSIDERATIONS WITH RESPECT TO ALL FUNDS In determining whether to approve the continuance of the Management Agreement and each Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered the best interests of each Fund separately. In each instance, the Trustees considered, among other things, the following factors: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided; (2) the investment performance of the Fund and the investment advisor; (3) the Manager's or sub-advisor's cost for providing the services and the profitability of the advisory business to the Manager or sub-advisor; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been taken into account in setting the fee schedule; and (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. The Trustees posed questions to various management personnel of the Manager regarding certain key aspects of the material submitted in support of the renewal. 119 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS OF THE FUNDS (UNAUDITED) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With respect to the renewal of the Management Agreement, the Trustees considered: the Manager's ability to retain key investment personnel and to provide consistent performance and an active client service program; the Manager's goal to continue to provide consistent above average long-term performance at low cost; the continuing efforts by the Manager to add new Funds so as to enhance the Trusts' product line; the Manager's record in building improved compliance, control and credit functions that reduce risks to the Funds; the addition of personnel to manage the Funds, promote sales and improve services; and the active role played by the Manager in monitoring and, as appropriate, recommending replacements for the investment sub-advisors and master portfolios. With respect to the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements, the Trustees noted that, in many cases, the Manager has negotiated the lowest sub-advisory fee a sub-advisor charges for any comparable client accounts. Where applicable, for purposes of determining the fee charged to the Funds, the fee schedule to each Investment Advisory Agreement specifies that all other assets managed by a sub-advisor on behalf of AMR Corporation and its pensions plans shall be considered. Thus, the Funds are able to receive the lowest possible fee due to economies of scale resulting from the sub-advisor's management of a larger pool of assets. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE BALANCED FUND In considering the renewal of the Management Agreement, the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) the Balanced Fund outperformed its benchmark indices for the one, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2004, even though the Manager slightly underperformed its benchmark index with respect to the portion of fixed income Fund assets allocated to it; (2) the expense ratio of the Institutional Class of Fund shares was lower than the industry average; and (3) the Trustees deemed the profit made by the Manager on the services it provided to the Fund to be reasonable in light of the fact that the Manager provides high-quality services at a low cost to investors, manages a portion of the Fund's assets, allocates the Fund's assets among sub-advisors, monitors and evaluates the performance of the Fund's three sub-advisors, and provides a comprehensive compliance program for the Fund. In considering the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements with Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, Inc. ("Barrow"), Brandywine Asset Management, LLC ("Brandywine") and Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management, LLC ("Hotchkis"), the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) Barrow, Brandywine and Hotchkis each either equaled or outperformed on a short-term and long-term basis their benchmark indices with respect to its allocated portion of the Fund's assets; (2) each sub-advisor represented that it did not charge a lower fee rate for any comparable client accounts; (3) for purposes of calculating the fee rates chargeable to the Fund, each sub-advisor agreed to take into account all other assets of AMR Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliated entities under management by the sub-advisor (except for assets managed by Barrow under the HALO Bond Program); and (4) the Manager's recommendation to continue to retain each sub-advisor. Based on these considerations and those noted above with respect to all Funds, the Trustees (1) concluded that the fees paid to the Manager and the sub-advisors under the Management and Investment Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable, (2) determined that the Balanced Fund and its shareholders would benefit from the Manager's and sub-advisors' continued management of the Fund and (3) approved the renewal of the Management and Investment Advisory Agreements with respect to the Balanced Fund.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE HIGH YIELD BOND FUND In considering the renewal of the Management Agreement, the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) the High Yield Bond Fund underperformed both its benchmark indices and its peer group for the one-year period ended December 31, 2004 primarily due to its investment in higher-quality 121 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS OF THE FUNDS (UNAUDITED) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- bonds that did not perform as well as much lower-quality bonds, but outperformed its peer group for the three-year period ended December 31, 2004; (2) the expense ratio of the Institutional Class was slightly higher than the industry average; (3) the Manager has contractually agreed to continue to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a competitive total expense ratio for the Service Class of shares of the Fund; and (4) the Trustees deemed the profit made by the Manager on the services it provided to the Fund to be reasonable in light of the fact that the Manager provides high-quality services at a low cost to investors, allocates the Fund's assets among sub-advisors, monitors and evaluates the performance of the Fund's sub-advisor, and provides a comprehensive compliance program for the Fund. In considering the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Post Advisory Group, LLC ("Post"), the Trustees considered the following additional factors: (1) although Post's long-term performance is good, it underperformed its benchmark index and trailed its peer group because the market rewarded more risky portfolios and Post's investment process focused on higher-quality securities; (2) Post represented that it did not charge a lower fee rate for any comparable client accounts; (3) for purposes of calculating the fee rates chargeable to the Fund, Post agreed to take into account all other assets of AMR Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliated entities under management by Post; and (4) the Manager's recommendation to continue to retain Post because it expects that Post's investment process should come back into favor and continue to perform well over the long term.
