American Beacon Funds October 31, 2005 (BILL QUINN PICTURE) FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS, Iam pleased to present you with the Annual Report for the American Beacon Funds for the year ended October 31, 2005. As investors faced increasing oil prices, rising interest rates and devastating hurricane damage, most financial markets experienced modest growth. The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted gains of 6.5%, the S&P 500 Index increased by 8.7% and the MSCI EAFE Index returned 18.1%. As of October 31, 2005, the 10-Year Treasury interest rate was 4.6%, resulting in a 1.13% total return for the bond market, as defined by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index. Additionally, the Federal Reserve increased the Fed Funds Rate to 3.75%, up 200 basis points (2.0%) from a year ago. The American Beacon equity funds posted strong returns in both absolute and relative terms for the fiscal year as many funds reported positive double digit returns. The Balanced and Large Cap Value Funds posted gains of 10.5% and 16.6%, respectively, for the period and surpassed their respective Lipper benchmarks for the one-year period ended October 31, 2005. Our Mid-Cap Value Fund-Institutional Class outperformed its respective Lipper peer group with a return of 14.6% for the year. The Institutional Class of the Emerging Markets Fund posted a positive return of 30.1% for the twelve months. On the fixed-income front, we saw rising rates offset our coupons to some extent resulting in modest but positive returns. The Enhanced Income, High Yield Bond, Intermediate Bond and Short-Term Bond Funds all posted positive returns for the twelve month period. Please review the enclosed market overviews, portfolio listings and detailed financial data. As always, we welcome the opportunity to serve your financial needs.

The broad market surged in the final quarter of 2004, as many indicators pointed to a respectable expansion and election uncertainty was removed. Strong Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, a gradually improving labor market and easing of oil prices from prior highs were all factors that contributed to the rally. Stocks got off to a weak start in the first quarter of 2005. Though productivity and economic growth remained strong, equities faced dual headwinds of rising oil prices and interest rates. While both styles struggled, value stocks in the Russell indices outperformed their growth counterparts in the first quarter. With regard to size, mid-cap stocks held up the best, followed by large caps. Small cap issues trailed in the quarter, likely on pressure from profit taking after several quarters of outperformance. Sector performance varied widely in the S&P 500 Index, with more than 25 percentage points separating the top performer from the bottom. Four of the ten sectors advanced in the first quarter. Energy was by far the strongest performer in the quarter, posting a total return of +17.58%. Telecommunication Services, Information Technology, Financials and Consumer Discretionary were the worst-performing sectors in the first quarter, all declining more than 5%. Despite record oil prices and decelerating growth in U.S. operating earnings, most major domestic equity indices managed to reverse course from the prior quarter and eke out low single-digit gains in the second quarter of 2005. Overall, growth stocks in the Russell indices outperformed their value counterparts in the second quarter. With regard to size, small cap stocks performed the best, followed by midcaps, with large cap issues bringing up the rear. Sector performance varied widely in the S&P 500 Index, with more than 18 percentage points separating the leader from the laggard, and six of the ten sectors advanced. The defensive Utilities sector was the strongest performer, rising 9.31%. Materials was the worst-performing sector, posting a total return of -9.46%. During the third quarter of 2005, stocks posted solid gains across the board. Overall, growth stocks in the Russell indices outperformed their value counterparts in the third quarter. With regard to size, midcap stocks performed the best, followed by small caps, with large cap issues bringing up the rear. Sector performance again varied widely in the S&P 500 Index, with more than 19 percentage points separating the leader from the laggard, with all but two of the ten sectors advancing during the quarter. Sky-rocketing oil prices made Energy the big winner, rising 18.25%. The Telecommunication Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors were both in negative territory, posting total returns of -1.05% and -0.88%, respectively. Some investors were disappointed that the Fed didn't decide to hold off on its rate hike in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. While both Katrina and Rita were tragic events with significant human as well as economic loss, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) stated that it believes the impact on the economy will be transitory. As largely expected, the FOMC raised the Federal Funds target 25 basis points (.25%) at both its August and September meetings to stand at 3.75%. The U.S. stock market pulled back slightly in October, with the major equity indices posting low-single digit losses. Contrary to recent trends, growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts for the month. With respect to size, large cap issues led, followed by mid-caps, with small cap stocks trailing the pack. Most international equity markets reported low- to mid-single digit loses for the month. Only two of the ten sectors in the S&P 500 Index posted gains in October. The best-performing sectors were Financials and Materials, returning 3.16% and 0.51%, respectively. Energy was the worst-performing sector with a return of -9.35%. 3 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON BALANCED FUND(SM) October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Balanced Fund's Institutional Class returned 10.53% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2005, outperforming the 60% S&P 500 Barra Value/40% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index benchmark return of 6.58% and the Lipper Balanced Funds Index return of 7.16%.

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 twelve-month period, the Fund's assets on average were invested 66% in equities (including equitized cash) and 34% in fixed-income securities, ending the period with 65% in equities/equitized cash and 35% in fixed-income securities. The equity portion of the Fund excluding equitized cash returned 18.8%, outperforming the S&P 500/Barra Value Index ("Barra Value Index") return of 10.2%. The Fund's stock holdings added value relative to the Barra Value Index mostly through stock selection although sector allocation also was positive. Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Financials 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%), Centex Corp. (up 24.3%) and MGM Mirage, Inc. (up 38.9%) had the largest impact, while MetLife, Inc. (up 30.4%), Prudential Financial Inc. (up 58.7%) and The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. (up 35.7%) were the largest contributors to the positive performance of the Financials sector. Selection in the Consumers Staples and Industrials sectors was also a source of significant added value. Strong performers included Altria Group (up 62.0%) and Dean Foods Co. (up 42.6%) in the Consumer Staples sector and Boeing Co. (up 31.7%) and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. (up 50.5%) in the Industrials sector. Equity sector allocation also had an impact on the Fund's relative returns during the twelve-month period. The Fund was underweight in the Energy sector in November 2004 but benefited from an overweight in this best performing sector of the Barra Value Index over the rest of the twelve months. Underweighting the Telecommunications Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors, the two poorest performing sectors of the Barra Value Index, also added value. 4 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON BALANCED FUND(SM) -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The fixed-income portion of the Fund returned 0.5% for the twelve-month period, lagging the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index ("Lehman Index") return of 1.1%. 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. The Fund's duration has been significantly shorter than the Lehman Index since the latter part of March, which has generally been positive for the Fund's performance during the last few months of the Fund's fiscal year. 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 outperformed the Index primarily through strong stock selection, although sector allocation also added to the excess performance. From a stock selection standpoint, the largest contributors were in the Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors. The companies with the most impact in the Consumer Discretionary sector were Sears Holdings Corp. (up 44.2%), J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (up 49.6%) and Centex Corp. (up 24.3%). In the Financials sector, MetLife, Inc. (up 30.4%) and Prudential Financial, Inc. (up 58.7%) were the largest contributors. Positive stock selection in Consumer Staples, mostly through Altria Group (up 62.0%) and in Industrials, primarily through Boeing (up 31.7%) also added meaningful value versus the Index. Sector weightings also added value during the period. For most of its fiscal year, the Fund overweighted Energy, the best performing sector of the Index. An underweight in the Telecommunications Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors, which were the only sectors of the Index that produced negative returns, also contributed to the Fund's added value. 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 positive period for U.S. growth stocks overall. During the Fund's fiscal year, nine out of ten sectors in the Index posted positive returns. While sector weighting decisions were additive in six out of ten sectors and mildly beneficial overall for the Fund, stock selection hurt relative performance during the period. The largest value-added sectors for the Fund relative to the Index were Consumer Staples and Financials. Positions in Altria Group, Inc., 7-Eleven, Inc., and Gillette Company contributed most to the Consumer Staples sector's relative performance. In Financials, positions in Loews Corp., Prudential Financial, Inc. and Moody's Corp. were the largest contributors relative to the Index. The sectors which detracted most from relative performance were the Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors. The Fund was hurt by Harman International Industries, Inc., Gannett Co., Inc., and Ebay, Inc. in the Consumer Discretionary sector while positions in Biogen Idec, Inc., UnitedHealth Group, Inc., OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Genentech, Inc. in the Health Care sector hurt relative performance most. 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 Financials and Consumer Discretionary sectors detracted most from performance. In the Financials sector, large positions in XL Capital Ltd. (down 9.2%) and IPC Holdings Ltd. (down 33.4%) accounted for the bulk of the underperformance. In the Consumer Discretionary sector, the Fund's investment in Lear Corp. (down 42.3%) and Rent-A-Center, Inc. (down 24.9%) detracted most from performance. Stock selection in the Health Care sector also hurt the Fund's performance, where Valeant Pharmaceuticals Intl. (down 27.7%) and Hillenbrand Industries, Inc. (down 5.5%) were the largest detractors. Sector weightings added to the Fund's performance relative to the Index. A large overweight in Health Care, which was the second best performing sector of the Index was responsible for most of the excess performance attributable to sector allocation, but was partially offset by overweighting Consumer Discretionary (one of the poorer performing sectors of the Index) and underweighting Energy which was the best performing sector of the Index. 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 shine despite the prospects of a global slowdown and rising interest rates. Favorable valuations relative to the developed world and stronger underlying economies continued to entice investors. Latin America (+61.2%) was the best performing region, with Mexico and Brazil outperforming major markets. Mexico rallied on the back of positive domestic demand data and reduced political concerns. In Brazil, investors ignored political concerns and instead focused on the country's strong economic fundamentals including an improved balance of payments position. Emerging Europe, the Middle East and South Africa (EMEA), led by a surge in Middle East markets, followed returning 39.3%. Asia despite returning a solid 23.6% lagged other regions given the poor performance from index heavy-weight Taiwan. Latin America (+61.2%) outperformed given the strong economic outlook for the region as higher commodity prices, low interest rates and emerging local consumer continued to fuel growth. Brazil was particularly strong as country and company fundamentals remained supportive. Investors continued to expect prudent policies and solid economic fundamentals to support the equity market and help the country weather any external shocks. In addition, monetary easing is expected to continue and for local investor participation to increase as rates decline. Mexico followed returning 52.6% given positive domestic demand trends in the country and attractive valuations. The operating environment for Mexican consumer companies remained solid as domestic consumption remains healthy with select companies increasing market share and generating strong free cash flow. In Mexico, the increased reliance on domestic financing, high oil prices, and overall orthodox monetary and fiscal policies proved to be supportive of the market as political noise increased during the year. Egypt was the best performing market in EMEA region returning +160%. The country benefited from increased foreign inflows as attractive valuations, prospects for continued reform-led growth and stable political outlook enticed investors. Turkey was the second best performer in the region returning 53.2%. The country entered 2005 with the best prospects in its history for political and economic stability. Recent structural and political reforms, a new $10 billion IMF agreement and lower political risk improved the outlook that tight fiscal policy continues in the coming years, and allay concerns regarding the current account. Asia, despite solid returns from South Korea (+47.0%) and India (+34.7%) underperformed given weakness in Taiwan (+6.0%) and South East Asian markets. South Korea was the top regional performer once again. Local investors continued to increase their equity holdings, preferring equities to property in light of government attempts to curb property price gains. News that North Korea would halt its nuclear program provided another boost for Korean equities. In Taiwan, the underperforming technology sector hampered the market's performance for much of the year. Thailand (+5.4%) and Indonesia (+3.7%), two of the largest South East Asian markets, were the worst performing markets in Asia. Economic growth for both countries continued to disappoint while rising oil prices raised investor concern over the outlook for inflation and current account positions. The long-term outlook for Emerging Markets remains positive given attractive valuations, a much improved structural backdrop and enhanced corporate profitability. Near-term, we will continue to monitor developments regarding global economic growth, US interest rates, events in China and political developments in Mexico, Brazil, Russia, Turkey, Poland and Asia. Sentiment towards the asset class has been relatively high this year and any change in risk appetite continues to leave it vulnerable to near-term corrections. However, given structural improvements in Emerging Markets we believe any selling pressure will be short lived. 12 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON EMERGING MARKETS FUND(SM) October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Institutional Class of the Emerging Markets Fund returned 30.11% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2005. The Fund underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index ("Index") return of 33.80% and the Lipper Emerging Market Funds Index return of 32.97%.

Fund performance for the five-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 returned less than the Index over the twelve-month time period due to Fund expenses, unfavorable stock selection and lower than Index returns in the cash equitization account. These factors more than offset favorable country allocation achieved by the Fund during the period. Despite very strong relative stock selection in South Korea, poor selections in Mexico, Egypt and China negatively impacted the Fund's performance during its fiscal year. In South Korea, Korea Electric Power Corporation gained 64.6%, while Orion Corporation returned nearly 150%. In Mexico, despite Telefonos de Mexico and Kimberly-Clark de Mexico gaining 22.0% and 17.1%, respectively, these stocks underperformed the country return of 53%. In addition, although the Fund's Egyptian holdings returned 110%, they were unable to keep pace with the 158% gains of the Egyptian stocks in the Index. However in China, an investment in Huadian Power detracted from the Fund's performance as the stock dropped 21.0%. Country allocation added value as the Fund overweighted Egypt, which was the top-performing market for the twelve-month period with a return of nearly 158%, and overweighted Mexico, which climbed over 52%. Additionally, the Fund generated value by underweighting the four worst performing markets during the period which were Venezuela (down 34.0%), Taiwan (up 4.7%), Malaysia (up 9.2%) and the Philippines (up 10.6%). The Fund's basic philosophy remains focused on investing in undervalued companies with above-average earnings growth expectations. 13 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON EMERGING MARKETS FUND(SM) -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP TEN HOLDINGS <Table> <Caption> % OF NET ASSETS ---------- LUKOIL Oil Company, ADR 3.4% Samsung Electronics Company Limited 2.1% Petroleo Brasileiro S.A., ADR 2.1% America Movil, S.A. de C.V., ADR 1.5% Wal-Mart de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. 1.4% Grupo Televisa, S.A., ADR 1.4% Telefonos de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., ADR 1.2% United Microelectronics Corporation 1.1% Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, ADR 1.1% Petroleo Brasileiro S.A., ADR 1.0% </Table> SECTOR ALLOCATION <Table> <Caption> % OF EQUITIES -------- Financials 16.6% Consumer Discretionary 14.0% Telecommunications Services 13.4% Energy 11.7% Information Technology 11.0% Industrials 10.5% Materials 8.3% Consumer Staples 7.8% Utilities 4.7% Health Care 2.0% </Table> COUNTRY ALLOCATION (PIE CHART) <Table> <Caption> OTHER EUROPE, MIDDLE OTHER SOUTH EAST, SOUTH OTHER LATIN KOREA AFRICA BRAZIL AFRICA TAIWAN MEXICO INDIA CHINA ASIA MALAYSIA AMERICA ISRAEL - ----- ------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ----- ----- ----- -------- ------- ------ 16 14.40 13.10 11.80 11.60 9.40 8.00 7.60 4.20 3.00 0.50 0.40 </Table> 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 market's performance was also impressive given that oil prices, which began period at a high $45/barrel, rose to $60/barrel by period end. Fortunately, energy price inflation did not manifest itself in the bond market and fixed income returns were salvaged. See total returns from each of the asset class below: <Table> <Caption> TOTAL RETURNS ---------------------- PERIODS ENDED 10/31/05 ---------------------- 6 MONTH 12 MONTH ------- -------- Lehman Aggregate 0.15% 1.13% Lehman Gov/Credit 0.07% 0.83% - ----------------------------------------------------- SECTOR U.S. Treasury -0.09% 0.88% U.S. Agency 0.46% 1.07% Mortgage-Backed 0.30% 1.75% Commercial MBS -0.09% 0.34% Asset-Backed 0.65% 1.08% U.S. Credit 0.08% 0.65% - ----------------------------------------------------- CREDIT RATING Aaa 0.18% 1.23% Aa -0.03% 0.69% A -0.22% 0.87% Baa 0.31% 0.33% </Table> (source: Lehman Brothers) The highest total returns in twelve month period came from the mortgage sector where a combination of reduced issuance, flat refinancing activity, and low relative duration helped this sector outperform. The reduction in mortgage issuance resulted from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac remaining on the sidelines as they repaired their financial statements and rebuilt capital reserves. With fewer new bonds hitting the market, the outstanding mortgages benefited from relative scarcity. The moderation in prepayment activity reflected the flattening yield curve as short rates rose and long rates remained range bound. Mortgages also benefited from their relatively low duration, which further helped this sector as short rates rose.

The primary driver of credit sector returns was the auto manufacturers, Ford and GM. In the first quarter of 2005, the financial condition of these two companies began to deteriorate dramatically as incentive-driven sales took their toll on profitability and as they lost market share to overseas manufacturers. Credit spreads widened and ratings downgrades followed. Since these were two of the largest issuers in the credit markets, their impact was widely felt. (See credit spread chart below.) Ultimately, GM was removed from the investment grade index following its downgrade to junk-bond rating status, and Ford was left at the precipice. Any further deterioration in Ford's credit metrics will pull it out of the investment grade index as well. These two issuers were largely responsible for the negative total returns in the Industrial sector during the period.

Issuers essentially became the victims of their own success. Over the past few years, companies have produced very healthy balance sheets reflecting their strong earnings, low capital expenditures, and growing cash balances. While this was an ideal environment for bond holders, equity holders were not impressed. With stock prices relatively flat for many of these companies, equity investors demanded greater returns. As a result, dividend payments have been increasing, stock buy-backs have been enlarged, and companies are beginning to lever up their balance sheets again. The risks have been issuer-specific because some companies responded more aggressively to equity investors than others did. In addition, certain companies attracted the attention of (in)famous corporate raiders who accumulated large equity positions and demanded substantial equity-friendly initiatives. As a result, while the corporate bond market in general is still healthy (strong earnings, low issuance, high cash balances) certain issuers' balance sheets may be a little too healthy. Within the non-corporate sector, the unusually strong performance came from two issuers, Pemex (Mexico's state oil producer) and United Mexican States (Mexico's government bonds). During this period, these bonds rallied along with emerging markets in general, which performed very well. High oil prices also helped Pemex bonds. Utilities and Financials, also performed well during the period. The utility sector benefited from the natural gas distributors as gas prices rose. Additionally, utilities benefited from their relatively long maturities, which helped since the longest end of the treasury curve was essentially flat during the period. The Finance sector returns reflected their strong credit quality. In particular, the insurance sector performed well due to its strong pricing power and diminishing regulatory headline risk (i.e. AIG and Marsh & McLennan). The REIT sector performed well due to the healthy real estate markets. Offsetting some of the Finance sectors returns was its position on the yield curve, primarily 5 to 10 year maturities, which were the most adversely affected among the curve segments. Given the nature of the credit markets during this period, credit quality played a mixed role in relative total returns. In general, credit spreads widened during the twelve month period, which led to outperformance from the highest-rated issuers. Within the government sectors, Agencies outperformed Treasuries due to a combination of spread improvement in the agencies and a slightly 16 BOND MARKET OVERVIEW -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- shorter duration than treasuries. The spread improvement in agencies continued despite the saga surrounding Fannie Mae's accounting problems and the more stringent operating rules imposed by Congress. In general, the new operating mandate is more bond-holder friendly since it increases reserve capital requirements and moderates the allowable growth rate. Equity holders were much more adversely affected by the changes. Additionally, investors appear to have grown accustom to the accounting revisions to Fannie Mae's financial statements and are patiently awaiting completion of the review process. Finally, the asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed sectors produced returns that were in line with their credit quality and yield curve placement. Both are very highly rated sectors and performed well as the credit markets became volatile. The asset-backed sector has a relatively short average maturity and performed reasonably well as interest rates rose. The commercial mortgage-backed sector has a longer average maturity, closer to the five-year treasury, and produced lower total returns as this was the hardest hit segment of the treasury curve. In total, the fixed income markets continued to offer relatively attractive total returns given the rising interest rates and flattening yield curve. 17 HIGH YIELD BOND MARKET OVERVIEW October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The last twelve months have been a 'real world' example of the dynamics that can exist in the high yield market. With global issues (e.g., the war in Iraq and the tsunami), skyrocketing oil prices, domestic troubles (two hurricanes, two major airline bankruptcies and the auto industry's woes, among other things) and rising interest rates to deal with, the high yield market seems to have taken everything in stride. By the end of October, the Lehman Brothers Corporate High Yield Index spread over Treasuries had shrunk to +373 basis points, the tightest since July 1998. BB rated bonds had contracted to +219 basis points and BB-B spread was 122 basis points, 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 basis points over B's, still above the 242 basis points spread reached in January 2004. In that environment, several BB's were trading as tight as 150 basis points, which hardly met the traditional standard for high yield. For example, the $2 billion Nextel 7 3/8% 2015, which traded at 261 basis points as recently as September 1, was 150 basis points over based on speculation that their credit rating might have risen to investment grade. At 12/31/2004, the Lehman Brothers Index was down to 319 basis points over the 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 basis points. A year ago it was 147 basis points. At this 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 Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Index. One possible cause of the market's performance was a $1.1 billion January outflow from mutual funds, the largest since May 2004. (While mutual funds aren't really as big a market factor as they once were, they still account for the trades of market timers). The best explanation for January's return was that "it happened in December". While there were worries that rising gasoline prices and higher interest rates would cause pressure on the auto and housing sectors, the overall credit environment remained fairly benign in the first quarter of 2005. The supply of new issues was low. March issuance was an anemic $9.5 billion, the lowest total since last August and only slightly more than one half versus a year ago. During the March decline, it was not easy to buy decent quantity. When the high yield index outperforms Treasuries by approximately 4% in one month, as in July, that can only mean that spreads tightened. Indeed, the Lehman index aggregate spread dipped to 337 basis points from 395 basis points the month before. With higher yielding GM bonds rated BB, the BB-to-B spread hit an all-time record low of only 74 basis points. Exactly three years before (think corporate scandals, heavy downgrades, bankruptcies) the BB-to-B differential was 402 basis points. While B's tightened last month versus BB's, there was still some caution in the distressed end of the market where a 337 basis points spread between B and CCC remained well above this year's low. Tight spreads have been the result of good market technicals (supply/demand) and positive event risk. Market size (supply) shrank slightly as a modest $8 billion of new issues was not enough to offset maturities and tenders. Many would-be issuers found terms in the second lien bank market more attractive. Event risk was positive: a) zero defaults for the second month in a row, b) an excellent ratio of upgrades to downgrades of 1.38 to 1 (in July 2002, the ratio was .28 to 1), and c) occasional tender offers to refinance high coupon but not-yet-callable debt. Neither $70 oil, hurricanes nor automobile industry downgrades were able to rattle the high yield market during August. The above factors have led many to forecast that the Federal Reserve may stop 18 HIGH YIELD BOND MARKET OVERVIEW -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tightening, resulting in lower U.S. Treasury yields (26 basis points on 5 year and 10 year). While the high yield market did not follow suit, it was able to hold its own. Yield spreads widened modestly from 337 basis points at 7/31 to 376 basis points at 8/31 (source: Lehman Brothers High Yield Index). On August 24, Moody's downgraded General Motors (Ba2), GMAC (Ba1), Ford Motor (Ba1) and Ford Motor Credit (Baa3). The ratings actions had surprisingly little market impact as most of the damage to GM took place in July and most of Ford debt is still investment grade. Though the Fund had taken positions in GM and Delphi for a time, our sell discipline took effect as we exited these positions well before Delphi's bankruptcy and the precipitous slide that preceded it. Some negative factors that caused the Lehman Brothers High Yield Index to fall 1% in September were a 31 basis point increase in long-term Treasury yields (as the Fed kept tightening), the worst month of mutual fund outflows since April, the twin bankruptcies of Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines and the looming potential bankruptcy of Delphi Corporation. Whether the October 17 change in the bankruptcy law causes more companies to file sooner rather than later remains to be seen. Despite the disparate treatment of GM/GMAC and Ford/Ford Motor Credit in the major indices, the spread between the five major High Yield indexes for the quarter ending September 30 was a mere .03%! (That is something that won't last.) For the quarter, the Lehman Brothers High Yield Index outperformed the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Index by 2.05% and the Lehman U.S. Corporate Index (high grade bonds) by 2.02%, both very respectable showings. 19 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON HIGH YIELD BOND FUND(SM) October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Institutional Class of the High Yield Bond Fund returned 3.03% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2005.

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 on year to maturity. 5. The Citigroup High Yield Market Index is an unmanaged index of fixed income securities with a maximum credit rating of BB+, a minimum amount outstanding of $100 million, and at least 1 year to maturity. The Fund, relative to the Lehman Index, was underweighted in three (Communications, Energy and Transportation) of the four best performing sectors. While underweightings in Energy and Transportation were minor, the underweighting in Communications, over 7%, had a more significant impact on the performance of the Fund as the Communications sector gained 5.9%. The Fund was also impacted by an overweighting in the Consumer Cyclical sector, the worst and only sector to post a negative return, as it dropped 0.1%. The Fund overweighted the Financial (the best sector for the period with a return of 7.2%), Technology (up 3.7%) and Consumer Non-Cyclical (up 3.4%) sectors which outperformed the Lehman Index and benefited the Fund. The sub-advisor's "bottom up," security-by-security 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. It is important to note that any sector over or underweighting is a residual of the investment process and not an active part of the strategy. Higher-rated securities reversed course from 2004 and outperformed lower-rated securities in the first ten months of 2005. The sub-advisor believes 20 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON HIGH YIELD BOND FUND(SM) -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

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 that 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 twelve-month period, the investment grade bond portion of the Fund returned 1.1% on a gross basis compared to a 0.3% return for its portion of the Benchmark. The Manager's security selection within Corporates added the most relative value during the year, followed by security selection in the Mortgage Pass-through sector. The remaining portion of the Fund managed by the Fund's sub-advisor generated a gross return of 5.5%. These results not only beat the 4.5% return of its portion of the Benchmark but also enhanced the Fund's overall return. As issues with greater equity sensitivity (low conversion premiums) performed well for the period, reflecting the positive performance of equities, this portion of the Fund benefited from maintaining greater equity sensitivity relative to its portion of the Benchmark. The Manager and the Fund's sub-advisor remain focused on the Fund's investment objectives of generating income and capital appreciation.

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 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 Aggre gate 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 Corporate and U.S. Treasury sectors. Within the Corporate sector, Industrials accounted for the bulk of the excess performance. However, the Fund's overweight in Corporates, which was the poorest performing sector within the Index, offset some of the gains achieved through security selection. In the U.S. Treasury sector, outperformance was primarily the result of underweighting shorter duration Treasury securities that underperformed. Overall, the Fund's duration was somewhat longer than the Index early in the period, which was beneficial, but became generally neutral in the second half of the period. The Fund's investment managers remain focused on a conservative approach toward investing in the bond market, focusing on issuer-specific opportunities.

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. The Fund's total returns reflect its overweight positions in the spread sectors, including corporates, asset-backeds and mortgages -- all of which outperformed treasuries and agencies during the period. Additionally, the Fund's duration was slightly short of the Index during the period, which led to outperformance as interest rates rose. The Fund's largest position during the period was in the corporate sector, which was the best performing sector in the Index. While the broader corporate market underperformed government securities during this period due to spread widening, the shortest maturity corporates (0 to 3 years) outperformed due to their incremental yield to maturity. The Fund also held an overweight position in the asset-backed sector (autos and credit cards), which outperformed their government equivalents during the period due to their incremental yield to maturity. Finally, the Fund also held a small position in the mortgage sector, which contributed to the outperformance relative to the Index as this sector outperformed all of the Index sectors. (Note: the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Gov/Corp Index does not include mortgages.) 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. 25 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON SHORT-TERM BOND FUND(SM) -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP TEN HOLDINGS <Table> <Caption> % OF NET ASSETS ---------- Prudential Insurance Company of America, 6.375%, Due 7/23/2006, 144A (Note A) 3.4% General Electric Capital Corporation, 4.125%, Due 3/4/2008 3.4% Banc of America Securities Auto Trust 2005-WF1 A4, 4.08%, Due 4/18/2010 3.3% MetLife Global Funding I, 3.375%, Due 10/5/2007, 144A (Note A) 3.3% Citibank Credit Card Issuance Trust 2004-A4 A4, 3.20%, Due 8/24/2009 3.3% DaimlerChrysler Auto Trust 2004-C A4, 3.28%, Due 12/8/2009 3.3% Wachovia Corporation, 6.40%, Due 4/1/2008 2.9% Wells Fargo Financial Auto Owner Trust 2004-A A4, 2.67%, Due 8/16/2010 2.9% Synovus Financial Corporation, 7.25%, Due 12/15/2005 2.8% FleetBoston Financial Corporation, 3.85%, Due 2/15/2008 2.8% </Table> SECTOR ALLOCATION <Table> <Caption> % OF FIXED INCOME ------------ Corporates 69.8% Asset-Backed 22.5% Mortgage-Backed 3.7% Treasury 2.3% Agency 1.7% </Table> 26 FUND EXPENSES October 31, 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 May 1, 2005 through October 31, 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 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 5/1/05.................... $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 10/31/05.................. $1,040.94 $1,072.52 $1,067.36 $1,075.23 $1,163.20 $1,033.29 $1,001.56 $1,009.05 Expenses Paid During Period* 5/1/05-10/31/05........... $ 3.03 $ 3.09 $ 4.70 $ 5.25 $ 8.17 $ 4.24 $ 1.51 $ 1.70 Annualized Expense Ratio.... 0.59% 0.59% 0.90% 1.00% 1.50% 0.83% 0.30% 0.34% </Table> <Table> <Caption> LARGE CAP EMERGING HIGH YIELD ENHANCED INTERMEDIATE SHORT-TERM PLANAHEAD CLASS BALANCED VALUE MARKETS BOND INCOME BOND BOND - --------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ------------ ---------- Beginning Account Value 5/1/05... $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 Ending Account Value 10/31/05.... $1,039.53 $1,071.20 $1,162.92 $1,032.05 $1,013.93 $ 998.47 $1,006.45 Expenses Paid During Period* 5/1/05-10/31/05................ $ 4.41 $ 4.47 $ 8.78 $ 5.47 $ 4.30 $ 4.75 $ 4.32 Annualized Expense Ratio......... 0.86% 0.86% 1.61% 1.07% 0.85% 0.94% 0.85% </Table> <Table> <Caption> LARGE CAP HIGH YIELD SERVICE CLASS BALANCED VALUE BOND - ------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Beginning Account Value 5/1/05....................... $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 Ending Account Value 10/31/05.. $1,036.60 $1,069.61 $1,030.09 Expenses Paid During Period* 5/1/05-10/31/05.............. $ 5.59 $ 5.29 $ 7.39 Annualized Expense Ratio....... 1.30% 1.21% 1.45% </Table> <Table> <Caption> LARGE CAP LARGE CAP EMERGING AMR CLASS BALANCED VALUE GROWTH MARKETS - --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- Beginning Account Value 5/1/05....................... $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 Ending Account Value 10/31/05.. $1,041.70 $1,073.90 $1,068.85 $1,165.00 Expenses Paid During Period* 5/1/05-10/31/05.............. $ 1.67 $ 1.78 $ 3.14 $ 6.72 Annualized Expense Ratio....... 0.33% 0.34% 0.60% 1.23% </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 (184) by days in the year (365) to reflect the half-year period. 27 FUND EXPENSES October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The "Hypothetical" lines of the table provide 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 "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> 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 5/1/05 $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 10/31/05 $1,022.24 $1,022.22 $1,020.66 $1,020.15 $1,017.65 $1,021.03 $1,023.69 $1,023.51 Expenses Paid During Period* 5/1/05-10/31/05 $ 3.00 $ 3.02 $ 4.60 $ 5.11 $ 7.62 $ 4.22 $ 1.53 $ 1.71 Annualized Expense Ratio 0.59% 0.59% 0.90% 1.00% 1.50% 0.83% 0.30% 0.34% </Table> <Table> <Caption> LARGE CAP EMERGING HIGH YIELD ENHANCED INTERMEDIATE SHORT-TERM PLANAHEAD CLASS BALANCED VALUE MARKETS BOND INCOME BOND BOND - --------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ------------ ---------- Beginning Account Value 5/1/05 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 Ending Account Value 10/31/05 $1,020.88 $1,020.89 $1,017.09 $1,019.82 $1,020.93 $1,020.45 $1,020.90 Expenses Paid During Period* 5/1/05-10/31/05 $ 4.37 $ 4.36 $ 8.19 $ 5.43 $ 4.32 $ 4.80 $ 4.35 Annualized Expense Ratio 0.86% 0.86% 1.61% 1.07% 0.85% 0.94% 0.85% </Table> <Table> <Caption> LARGE CAP HIGH YIELD SERVICE CLASS BALANCED VALUE BOND - ------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Beginning Account Value 5/1/05 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 Ending Account Value 10/31/05 $1,015.61 $1,015.99 $1,017.92 Expenses Paid During Period* 5/1/05-10/31/05 $ 5.53 $ 5.15 $ 7.35 Annualized Expense Ratio 1.30% 1.21% 1.45% </Table> <Table> <Caption> LARGE CAP LARGE CAP EMERGING AMR CLASS BALANCED VALUE GROWTH MARKETS - --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- Beginning Account Value 5/1/05 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 Ending Account Value 10/31/05 $1,023.57 $1,023.49 $1,022.17 $1,019.00 Expenses Paid During Period* 5/1/05-10/31/05 $ 1.66 $ 1.74 $ 3.07 $ 6.27 Annualized Expense Ratio 0.33% 0.34% 0.60% 1.23% </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 (184) by days in the year (365) to reflect the half-year period. 28 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of American Beacon Funds: We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of American Beacon Funds (formerly known as the American AAdvantage Funds), comprised of the American Beacon Balanced Fund, American Beacon Large Cap Value Fund, American Beacon Large Cap Growth Fund, American Beacon Mid-Cap Value Fund, American Beacon Emerging Markets Fund, American Beacon High Yield Bond Fund, American Beacon Enhanced Income Fund, American Beacon Intermediate Bond Fund, and American Beacon Short-Term Bond Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds") (formerly known as the American AAdvantage Balanced Fund, American AAdvantage Large Cap Value Fund, American AAdvantage Large Cap Growth Fund, American AAdvantage Mid-Cap Value Fund, American AAdvantage Emerging Markets Fund, American AAdvantage High Yield Bond Fund, American AAdvantage Enhanced Income Fund, American AAdvantage Intermediate Bond Fund, and American AAdvantage Short-Term Bond Fund, respectfully), including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of each Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Beacon Funds at October 31, 2005, the results of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in their net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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. On March 1, 2005, the American AAdvantage Funds were renamed American Beacon Funds. The chart below depicts the new names of each Fund and its former name prior to March 1, 2005. <Table> <Caption> FUND NAMES EFFECTIVE MARCH 1, 2005 ABBREVIATED NAME FORMERLY KNOWN AS: - ---------------------------------- ---------------- ------------------ American Beacon Balanced Fund Balanced Fund American AAdvantage Balanced Fund American Beacon Large Cap Value Fund Large Cap Value Fund American AAdvantage Large Cap Value Fund American Beacon Large Cap Growth Fund Large Cap Growth Fund American AAdvantage Large Cap Growth Fund American Beacon Mid-Cap Value Fund Mid-Cap Value Fund American AAdvantage Mid-Cap Value Fund American Beacon Emerging Markets Fund Emerging Markets Fund American AAdvantage Emerging Markets Fund American Beacon High Yield Bond Fund High Yield Bond Fund American AAdvantage High Yield Bond Fund American Beacon Enhanced Income Fund Enhanced Income Fund American AAdvantage Enhanced Income Fund American Beacon Intermediate Bond Fund Intermediate Bond American AAdvantage Intermediate Bond Fund Fund American Beacon Short-Term Bond Fund Short-Term Bond Fund American AAdvantage Short-Term Bond Fund </Table> 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> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 89 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 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 an independent 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 market prices are not readily available or are not reflective of the fair value of the security, the security will be priced at a fair value following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Board"). In light of the judgement involved in fair value decisions, there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular security is accurate. 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 90 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 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 Funds reflect this amount on the Schedules of Investments as a U.S. Treasury Bill held as collateral for futures contracts. Payments to and from the broker, known as variation margin, are - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 91 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 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 Institutional, PlanAhead and AMR Classes of the Emerging Markets Fund and the Mid-Cap Value Fund imposes a 2% redemption fee on certain 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 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 92 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 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. 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. Management fees paid during the year ended October 31, 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% $2,162 $1,397 $ 765 Large Cap Value Fund............................... .225%-.70% 3,466 2,293 1,173 Large Cap Growth Fund.............................. .35%-.55% 347 287 60 Mid-Cap Value Fund................................. .40%-.90% 318 271 47 Emerging Markets Fund.............................. .80%-1.20% 912 804 108 High Yield Bond Fund............................... .52% 1,960 1,580 380 Enhanced Income Fund............................... .25%-.85% 387 274 113 Intermediate Bond Fund............................. .25% 240 89 151 </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. This fee is netted against securities lending income in - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 93 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the Statement of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2005, securities lending fees paid to the Manager were as follows (in thousands): <Table> Balanced Fund............................................... $29 Large Cap Value Fund........................................ 20 Emerging Markets Fund....................................... 3 High Yield Bond Fund........................................ 23 Enhanced Income Fund........................................ 6 Intermediate Bond Fund...................................... 4 </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 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 and the Emerging Markets Fund received net commissions on purchases and sales of the Fund's portfolio securities totaling $1,827 and $610, respectively for the year ended October 31, 2005. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 94 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 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.................................................... $48,510 $115,322 $163,832 Large Cap Value............................................. 90,583 73,463 164,046 Large Cap Growth............................................ 927 129 1,056 Mid-Cap Value............................................... 7,246 3,849 11,095 Emerging Markets............................................ 6,308 4,525 10,833 High Yield Bond............................................. 15,816 -- 15,816 Enhanced Income............................................. 3,666 22,629 26,295 Intermediate Bond........................................... 3,971 17,184 21,155 Short-Term Bond............................................. 2,047 2,248 4,295 </Table> Other Certain officers or Trustees of the Trust are also current or former officers or employees of the Manager or 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 October 31, 2005, AMR Corporation and subsidiary companies and Employee Benefit Trusts thereof owned 100% of AMR Class shares of the Funds, 98% of the Institutional Class of the Mid-Cap Value Fund, 18% of the Institutional Class of the High Yield Bond Fund, 99% of the Institutional Class of the Intermediate Bond Fund and 94% 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 as a borrower. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Funds to - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 95 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- borrow from, or lend money to, other participating Funds.

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.

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 the fair value of the securities loaned, initially in an amount at least equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities loaned and or 105% of the fair value of international securities loaned. 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 100 AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At October 31, 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.................................................... $120,757 $122,937 Large Cap Value............................................. 113,406 115,545 Large Cap Growth............................................ 250 251 Mid-Cap Value............................................... 9,237 9,393 Emerging Markets............................................ 6,769 6,891 High Yield Bond............................................. 35,253 36,110 Enhanced Income............................................. 27,603 28,134 Intermediate Bond........................................... 19,548 19,939 Short Term Bond............................................. 4,521 4,615 </Table> Cash collateral for each Fund, other than High Yield Bond, was invested in the Business Trust and the Select Fund.

American Beacon Funds October 31, 2005 (BILL QUINN PICTURE) FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS, I am pleased to present you with the Annual Report for the American Beacon International Equity Fund for the twelve months ended October 31, 2005. As investors faced increasing oil prices, rising interest rates and devastating natural disasters internationally, most financial markets experienced modest growth. The exception to this rule was the strong performance of international markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted gains of 6.5%, the S&P 500 Index increased by 8.7% and the MSCI EAFE Index returned 18.1%. The American Beacon International Equity Fund posted strong performance as the Institutional Class recorded a gain of 15.0% for the year. Please review the enclosed market overviews, portfolio listings and detailed financial data. As always, we welcome the opportunity to serve your financial needs.

Thank you for your continued confidence in the American Beacon International Equity Fund. Sincerely, /s/ WILLIAM F. QUINN William F.

Returns were even greater for international equities in local currency terms as the dollar appreciated considerably against most major currencies during this period. The dollar gained approximately 9.1 percent vs. the Japanese Yen, 6.3 percent vs. the Euro and 3.7 percent vs. the British Pound. The main driver for the dollar's performance was the widening interest rate differential between the U.S. and other regions as the Federal Reserve continued to raise the short-term Fed Funds rate to 4 percent, while the European Central Bank kept short-term rates at a six-decade low of 2 percent. Japan kept rates at essentially zero and the Bank of England actually lowered rates once. Stocks rose sharply at the end of 2004 as oil prices eased, alleviating 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 was lifted. On a regional basis, markets in the 12- country euro region, were among the 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 late in 2004. After concerns regarding global growth emerged in the first half of 2005, international stocks later rebounded as investors became more confident that companies' profit forecasts could withstand record energy prices. Energy stocks outpaced the market as the price of oil briefly topped $70 per barrel after hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf shores, crippling U.S. oil production and refining in the area. Growth in the European economies appeared to be improving. In Germany, business confidence rose to a new high in September. Unemployment in Italy reached a new low, and consumer spending in France was strong. European multi-national corporations have benefited from a weak euro in 2005, making their goods more attractive abroad. Japanese stocks were among the best performers, as investors cheered the reelection of Prime Minister Koizumi and the reshuffling of his cabinet. Many feel that Koizumi's strong showing in the polls has given him a clear mandate to continue the restructuring of the Japanese economy, including privatization of the postal savings system. There is also increasing optimism that deflation is near an end with land prices in Tokyo rising for the first time in fifteen years and speculation that the Bank of Japan will soon end its zero interest rate policy. Japanese banks would be one of the biggest beneficiaries of higher interest rates, as well as lower delinquencies and greater loan volumes as a result of the improving economy. Investors have also been encouraged that consumer and capital spending are fueling an economic rebound in Japan, rather than exports and government outlays. The combination of a global economic recovery and extremely accommodative monetary policy around the world has led to significant outperformance of the riskier parts of the global equity markets, such as small stocks, deeply cyclical companies, and emerging markets stocks. As the economic recovery matures, and central banks in many parts of the world tighten monetary policy, we will watch for investors to rotate into larger, more consistently profitable companies. The outperformance of smaller stocks has already begun to moderate in the United States and this trend may spread internationally going forward. 2 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND(SM) October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Institutional Class of the International Equity Fund returned 15.04% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2005. The Fund underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (the "Index") return of 18.09% and the Lipper International Funds Index return of 18.91%.

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 fiscal year primarily due to unfavorable country allocation and stock selection. However, timing differences in currency pricing between the Fund (4 p.m. Eastern time) and the Index (4 p.m. London time), and Fund expenses also negatively impacted the Fund relative to the Index. From a country perspective, poor stock selections, particularly in Finland and Japan, more than offset strong selections in countries including the United Kingdom. In Finland, Stora Enso dropped 6.5% while UPM-Kymmene only gained 2.5% for the time period. Investments in Seiko Epson Corporation (down 40.1%), Konica Minolta Holdings (down 37.4%) and Sony Corporation (down 6.8%) hampered the Fund's performance in Japan. The poor stock selection was somewhat offset by owning UK stocks British American Tobacco Industries (up 52.9%), BAE Systems (up 38.8%) and GlaxoSmithKline (up 27.9%). In addition, underweighting Australia (up 25.0%) and overweighting the two worst performing EAFE markets, Portugal (down 0.3%) and Ireland (up 2.3%), detracted value during the time period. Unlike country attribution, all of the value detracted from a sector perspective was due to stock selection as sector allocation was slightly positive. Stock selection was particularly weak in Materials, Financials and Information Technology. Within the Materials sector, in addition to weak performance by Stora Enso and Upm-Kymmene, Alcan also performed poorly. Financial firms Royal Bank of Scotland Group and HSBC Holdings detracted from results while investments in Konica Minolta Holdings and Celestica hurt performance in the Information Technology sector. On a more positive note, the Fund did add value by underweighting Information Technology, the worst sector for the period, which gained just 3.5%. 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. 3 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND(SM) -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP TEN HOLDINGS <Table> <Caption> % OF NET ASSETS ---------- GlaxoSmithKline plc 2.4% Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc 2.1% Sanofi-Synthelabo 1.9% Total S.A. 1.8% Vodafone Group plc 1.6% BAE Systems plc 1.4% BNP Paribas S.A. 1.4% France Telecom S.A. 1.4% Koninklijke (Royal) Philips Electronics N.V. 1.3% Nestle SA 1.3% </Table> SECTOR ALLOCATION <Table> <Caption> % OF EQUITIES -------- Financials 26.0% Consumer Discretionary 12.9% Industrials 11.7% Telecommunication Services 9.6% Health Care 8.7% Energy 8.4% Consumer Staples 8.2% Information Technology 5.5% Materials 5.4% Utilities 3.7% </Table> REGIONAL ALLOCATION* (PIE CHART) <Table> <Caption> EUROPE PACIFIC RIM NORTH AMERICA CENTRAL AMERICA - ------ ----------- ------------- --------------- 71 27.1 1.7 0.2 </Table> * Allocation based upon gross investments in American Beacon Master Services 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 May 1, 2005 through October 31, 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 4 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND(SM) -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, 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 5/1/05- 5/1/05 10/31/05 10/31/05 --------- --------- --------------- INSTITUTIONAL CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,066.57 $3.58 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,021.74 $3.50 (5% return before expenses) PLANAHEAD CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,065.06 $4.92 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,020.44 $4.81 (5% return before expenses) AMR CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,067.21 $2.22 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,023.06 $2.17 (5% return before expenses) SERVICE CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,063.47 $6.18 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,019.21 $6.05 (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 0.69%, 0.94%, 0.43%, 1.19%, for the Institutional, PlanAhead, AMR, and Service 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 (184) by days in the year (365) to reflect the half-year period. 5 AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of American Beacon International Equity Fund: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of American Beacon International Equity Fund (the "Fund"), a fund comprising the American Beacon Funds (formerly known as the American AAdvantage International Equity Fund and the American AAdvantage Funds, respectively) as of October 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

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"), formerly known as the American AAdvantage International Equity Fund, invests all of its investable assets in the International Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") of the American Beacon Master Trust, formerly known as the AMR Investment Services Trust International Equity Portfolio, 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 October 31, 2005 the Fund's investment was 96.0% 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11 AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 October 31, 2005, AMR Corporation and subsidiary companies and Employee Benefit Trusts thereof owned 100% of AMR Class shares of the Fund. During the period ended October 31, 2005, subadvisors voluntarily reimbursed the Portfolio for certain losses totaling $941,000. A $383,000 reimbursement was made to compensate the Portfolio for a loss associated with a rights offering that expired. 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. A $558,000 reimbursement was made to compensate the Portfolio for a loss associated with a security - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12 AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- that violated investment restrictions. The reimbursement amount allocated to the Fund totaled $902,000 for the period and is reflected in the gain/loss section of the Statement of Operations. 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 as a borrower. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating Funds. At October 31, 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 fiscal years ended October 31, 2005 and October 31, 2004 were as follows (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> YEAR ENDED YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2005 OCTOBER 31, 2004 ---------------- ---------------- 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> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13 AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As of October 31, 2005, the components of distributable earnings were as follows (in thousands): <Table> Cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes... $2,100,685 Unrealized appreciation..................................... 382,401 Unrealized depreciation..................................... (38,421) ---------- Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).................. 343,980 Undistributed ordinary income............................... 70,438 Undistributed long-term gain/(loss)......................... 116,200 ---------- Distributable earnings...................................... $ 530,618 ========== </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, 2005 (in thousands): <Table> Paid-in-capital............................................. $ -- Undistributed net investment income......................... 4,884 Accumulated net realized gain (loss)........................ (4,884) Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, futures contracts and foreign currency.................... -- </Table> The Fund intends to retain realized gains to the extent of available capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. During the year ended October 31, 2005, the fund utilized $33,901,000 of capital loss carryforwards. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14 AMERICAN BEACON INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Portfolio's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Portfolio's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

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 an independent 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 market prices are not readily available or are not reflective of the fair value of the security, the security will be priced at a fair value following procedures approved by the Board. In light of the judgement involved in fair value decisions, there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular security is accurate. 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 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 27 AMERICAN BEACON MASTER TRUST INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 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, net of foreign taxes, 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 $897,336 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 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 28 AMERICAN BEACON MASTER TRUST INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 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 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 29 AMERICAN BEACON MASTER TRUST INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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% $7,905 $5,652 $2,253 </Table> 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 year ended October 31, 2005, the Portfolio paid securities lending fees of $431,846 to the Manager. This fee is netted against securities lending income in the Statement of Operations. 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 $121,825 on the Portfolio's direct investment in the Affiliated Funds, and $440,321 from securities lending collateral invested in the Affiliated Funds. During the period, the Fund had purchases of $1,089,485,000 and sales of $1,100,723,000, for an ending balance of $119,493,000, 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 as a borrower. 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 October 31, 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 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30 AMERICAN BEACON MASTER TRUST INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 year ended October 31, 2005, subadvisors voluntarily reimbursed the Portfolio for certain losses totaling $941,000. A $383,000 reimbursement was made to compensate the Portfolio for a loss associated with a rights offering that expired. 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 price, transaction costs and foreign exchange costs incurred in making this purchase in the open market. A $558,000 reimbursement was made to compensate the Portfolio for a loss associated with a security that violated investment restrictions. These reimbursements are 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 year ended October 31, 2005 were $1,087,075 and $778,783, 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 the fair value of the securities loaned, initially in an amount at least equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities loaned and 105% of the fair value of international securities loaned. 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 October 31, 2005, securities with a market value of approximately $167,603,000 were loaned by the Portfolio. Cash collateral held by the custodian for the Portfolio in an investment in the Affiliated Funds totaled $176,304,000. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 31 AMERICAN BEACON MASTER TRUST INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 32 TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS OF THE AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS AND THE AMERICAN BEACON MASTER TRUST (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Trustees and officers of the American Beacon Funds (the "Trust") and the American Beacon Master Trust (the "Master Trust") are listed below, together with their principal occupations during the past five years.

American Beacon Funds October 31, 2005 (BILL QUINN PICTURE) FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS, I am pleased to present you with the Annual Report for the American Beacon Small Cap Value Fund for the twelve months ended October 31, 2005. As investors faced increasing oil prices, rising interest rates and devastating hurricane damage, most financial markets experienced modest growth. The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted gains of 6.5%, the S&P 500 Index increased by 8.7% and the Russell 2000 Index returned 12.1%. The American Beacon Small Cap Value Fund-Institutional Class posted strong returns of 12.9% for the fiscal year. Earlier in 2005, the Fund was closed to new investors in an effort to protect the interests of existing shareholders. Despite this, the Fund grew to $2.9 billion at October 31, 2005. Additionally, as of August 31, 2005, Dreman Value Management, LLC, Metropolitan West Capital Management, LLC and SSgA Funds Management, Inc. joined the fund's five existing sub-advisors, bringing the total number to eight. These managers were added to ensure existing shareholders could continue to invest in the Fund. Our greatest priority is striving to deliver exceptional investment results to shareholders; we believe these steps allow us to preserve the integrity of our successful investment philosophy. Please review the enclosed market overviews, portfolio listings and detailed financial data. As always, we welcome the opportunity to serve your financial needs.

The broad market surged in the final quarter of 2004, as many indicators pointed to a respectable expansion and election uncertainty was removed. Strong Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, a gradually improving labor market and easing of oil prices from prior highs were all factors that contributed to the rally. Stocks got off to a weak start in the first quarter of 2005. Though productivity and economic growth remained strong, equities faced dual headwinds of rising oil prices and interest rates. While both styles struggled, value stocks in the Russell indices outperformed their growth counterparts in the first quarter. With regard to size, midcap stocks held up the best, followed by large caps. Small cap issues trailed in the quarter, likely on pressure from profit taking after several quarters of outperformance. Sector performance varied widely in the S&P 500 Index, with more than 25 percentage points separating the top performer from the bottom. Four of the ten sectors advanced in the first quarter. Energy was by far the strongest performer in the quarter, posting a total return of +17.58%. Telecommunication Services, Information Technology, Financials and Consumer Discretionary were the worst-performing sectors in the first quarter, all declining more than 5%. Despite record oil prices and decelerating growth in U.S. operating earnings, most major domestic equity indices managed to reverse course from the prior quarter and eke out low single-digit gains in the second quarter of 2005. Overall, growth stocks in the Russell indices outperformed their value counterparts in the second quarter. With regard to size, small cap stocks performed the best, followed by midcaps, with large cap issues bringing up the rear. Sector performance varied widely in the S&P 500 Index, with more than 18 percentage points separating the leader from the laggard, and six of the ten sectors advanced. The defensive Utilities sector was the strongest performer, rising 9.31%. Materials was the worst-performing sector, posting a total return of -9.46%. During the third quarter of 2005, stocks posted solid gains across the board. Overall, growth stocks in the Russell indices outperformed their value counterparts in the third quarter. With regard to size, midcap stocks performed the best, followed by small caps, with large cap issues bringing up the rear. Sector performance again varied widely in the S&P 500 Index, with more than 19 percentage points separating the leader from the laggard, with all but two of the ten sectors advancing during the quarter. Sky-rocketing oil prices made Energy the big winner, rising 18.25%. The Telecommunication Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors were both in negative territory, posting total returns of -1.05% and -0.88%, respectively. Some investors were disappointed that the Fed didn't decide to hold off on its rate hike in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. While both Katrina and Rita were tragic events with significant human as well as economic loss, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) stated that it believes the impact on the economy will be transitory. As largely expected, the FOMC raised the Federal Funds target 25 basis points at both its August and September meetings to stand at 3.75%. The U.S. stock market pulled back slightly in October, with the major equity indices posting low-single digit losses. Contrary to recent trends, growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts for the month. With respect to size, large cap issues led, followed by mid caps, with small cap stocks trailing the pack. Most international equity markets reported low- to mid-single digit loses for the month. Only two of the ten sectors in the S&P 500 Index posted gains in October. The best-performing sectors were Financials and Materials, returning 3.16% and 0.51%, respectively. Energy was the worst-performing sector with a return of -9.35%. 2 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND(SM) October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Institutional Class of the Small Cap Value Fund returned 12.90% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2005, lagging the Russell 2000 Value Index ("Index") return of 13.04% and the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index return of 14.74% for the same period.

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 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. Prior to the deduction of expenses, the Fund outperformed the Index. Unfortunately, the Fund did not generate enough excess performance to offset its expenses. The Fund added value relative to the Index through sector allocation and, to a lesser extent stock selection. Strong stock selection in the Health Care and Information Technology sectors had the greatest positive impact, but was largely offset by poor selection in the Industrials and Utilities sectors. Positions in Health Net, Inc. (up 95.1%) and Sola International, Inc. (up 45.9%) were the major contributors to the Health Care sector's positive impact on the Fund's performance. Holdings such as MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc. (up 90.9%) and Western Digital Corp. (up 45.3%) in the Information Technology sector contributed significantly. The Industrials sector detracted from performance, mostly due to the Fund's investments in AGCO Corp. (which declined in value for the partial period it was owned by the Fund), Insituform Technologies, Inc. (down 9.4%) and Deluxe Corp. (down 8.9%). Utilities holding Northeast Utilities (down 2.6%) was also a drag on Fund performance. The Fund's large underweighting in the Financials sector, which was one of the poorer performing sectors of the Index, contributed to the Fund's excess performance relative to the Index. However, its impact was somewhat muted by the Fund's large overweighting in the Consumer Discretionary sector, which was also a poor performing sector of 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. 3 PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND(SM) -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOP TEN HOLDINGS <Table> <Caption> % OF NET ASSETS ---------- American Financial Group, Incorporated 1.1% Protective Life Corporation 0.9% Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated 0.9% Flowserve Corporation 0.8% Ingram Micro, Incorporated 0.8% Arrow Electronics, Incorporated 0.8% Del Monte Foods Company 0.8% Avnet, Incorporated 0.8% Lear Corporation 0.7% Worthington Industries, Incorporated 0.7% </Table> SECTOR ALLOCATION <Table> <Caption> % OF EQUITIES -------- Financials 24.2% Industrials 19.1% Consumer Discretionary 18.7% Information Technology 11.0% Utilities 8.6% Materials 6.5% Energy 4.4% Health Care 4.0% Consumer Staples 3.4% Telecommunication Services 0.1% </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 May 1, 2005 through October 31, 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 October 31, 2005 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Table> <Caption> BEGINNING ENDING ACCOUNT ACCOUNT EXPENSES PAID VALUE VALUE DURING PERIOD* 5/1/05 10/31/05 5/1/05-10/31/05 --------- -------- --------------- INSTITUTIONAL CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,090.18 $4.65 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,020.75 $4.50 (5% return before expenses) PLANAHEAD CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,088.54 $5.87 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,019.58 $5.68 (5% return before expenses) AMR CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,090.59 $3.14 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,022.20 $3.04 (5% return before expenses) SERVICE CLASS Actual $1,000.00 $1,087.24 $7.57 Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,017.95 $7.32 (5% return before expenses) </Table> * Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratios for the six-month period of 0.88%, 1.12%, 0.60%, 1.44%, for the Institutional, PlanAhead, AMR, and Service 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 (184) by days in the year (365) to reflect the half-year period. 5 AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of American Beacon Small Cap Value Fund: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of American Beacon Small Cap Value Fund (the "Fund"), a fund comprising the American Beacon Funds (formerly known as the American AAdvantage Small Cap Value Fund and the American AAdvantage Funds, respectively), including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Beacon Small Cap Value Fund at October 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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"), formerly known as the American AAdvantage Small Cap Value 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 N/A plans of 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 an independent 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 market prices are not readily available or are not reflective of the fair value of the security, the security will be priced at a fair value following procedures approved by the - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20 AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Board of Trustees (the "Board"). In light of the judgement involved in fair value decisions, there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular security is accurate. Security Transactions and Investment Income Security transactions are recorded on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes, 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 U.S. 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21 AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 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 year ended October 31, 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% $12,268 $9,834 $2,434 </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 year ended October 31, 2005, securities lending fees totaling $133,000 were paid to the Manager by the Fund. This fee is netted against securities lending income in the Statement of Operations. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22 AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 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 year ended October 31, 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 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23 AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- average daily net assets. During the year ended October 31, 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 - ----------------- ------------------- -------- $188,595 $395,967 $584,562 </Table> 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 October 31, 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 as a borrower. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating Funds. At October 31, 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 year ended October 31, 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 24 AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The tax character of distributions during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2005 and October 31, 2004 were as follows (in thousands): <Table> <Caption> YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, --------------------------- 2005 2004 ----------- ----------- 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 October 31, 2005, the components of distributable earnings were as follows (in thousands): <Table> Cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes... $3,318,120 Unrealized appreciation..................................... 310,005 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 October 31, 2005 (in thousands): <Table> Paid-in-capital............................................. $ -- 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 the fair value of the securities loaned, initially in an amount at least equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities loaned and 105% of the fair value of international securities loaned. 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 October 31, 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 - ------------------ ------------------- --------------- $612,572 $ -- $619,012 </Table> Cash collateral is invested in the Cash Trust and the Select Fund. These amounts have been included as investments in the Schedule of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Income earned on these investments is reported as Income derived from securities lending in the Statement of Operations. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 26 AMERICAN BEACON SMALL CAP VALUE FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED October 31, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

At their August 12, 2005 meeting, the Trustees considered the approval of Investment Advisory Agreements between the Manager and Dreman Value Management, LLC ("Dreman"), Metropolitan West Capital Management, LLC ("MetWest Capital") and SSgA to add each firm as a sub-advisor to the Small Cap Value Fund. As part of the approval process, legal counsel to the Trusts and the independent Trustees sent an information request letter to Dreman, MetWest Capital and SSgA seeking certain relevant information. Each sub-advisor'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 the sub-advisors 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 the sub-advisor 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 the sub-advisor 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; - a description of the sub-advisor's proposed trading activities on behalf of the Fund - a summary of the sub-advisor's compliance program, a certification regarding the program, a discussion of material compliance issues, and a discussion of the chief compliance officer's experience; - a copy of the sub-advisor's code of ethics, report on any material violations and the required certification; - a description of conflicts of interest in managing the Fund; and - any other information the sub-advisor believed would be material to the Trustees' consideration of the agreement. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 31 DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT OF THE FUND -- CONTINUED (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition, representatives from each sub-advisor met with the Board's Investment Committee to provide an overview of the sub-advisor's operations, investment team, investment philosophy, investment process and performance. In considering the approval of each Investment Advisory Agreement with the applicable sub-advisor, 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 short-term. In this regard, the Trustees considered that SSgA's small cap value accounts outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index for the most recent quarter and for the 2004 and 2002 calendar years, with the 2003 calendar year being slightly behind the index but having absolute returns of 43.26%. In addition, the Trustees considered that Dreman's small cap value accounts and another investment company managed by Dreman outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index for the most recent quarter and one-year and three-year periods. The Trustees also considered that MetWest Capital's small cap value accounts outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index for the most recent quarter and for the 2004 and 2003 calendar years. Second, the Trustees considered that the proposed fee to be charged by each sub-advisor to the Fund was highly competitive with fees of comparable advisers and represented a discount from the sub-advisor's standard fee schedule for such services. With respect to potential economies of scale and potential profits to be earned by the sub-advisors, the Trustees considered the start-up nature of the Fund's relationship with each sub-advisor (except for MetWest Capital) and the fact that the sub-advisors' fee schedules are highly competitive and discounted from their standard fee schedules. Third, the Trustees considered the experience and knowledge of the investment team identified by each sub-advisor that would make investment decisions for the Fund. They also considered each sub-advisor's investment strategy and process. Fourth, the Trustees considered that each sub-advisor was prepared to reserve a material amount of investment capacity for the benefit of the Fund. Fifth, the Trustees considered that each sub-advisor represented that it would not engage in soft dollar arrangements in connection with executing Fund transactions. Finally, the Trustees considered the Manager's strong recommendation to retain each sub-advisor. Based on these considerations, the Trustees (1) concluded that the fees proposed to be paid to each sub-advisor under the applicable Investment Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable, (2) determined that the Fund and its shareholders would benefit from each sub-advisor's addition as a sub-advisor to the Fund and (3) approved the Investment Advisory Agreement with each sub- advisor. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 32 TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS OF THE AMERICAN BEACON FUNDS (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Trustees and officers of the American Beacon Funds (the "Trust") are listed below, together with their principal occupations during the past five years.
