In connection with this change, the Portfolio will change its name to "Credit Suisse Trust -- Global Small Cap Portfolio." THE MARKET: SOFT SUMMER, STRONG FOURTH QUARTER The US equity market began the period on a positive note, continuing a rally fueled by optimism over the economy and corporate profit growth. However, the market quickly encountered headwinds, mostly in the form of domestic and international political uncertainty, worries over rising interest rates and a surge in oil prices. Stocks languished into late October, but ended the year on a bright note when a decisive presidential election, better employment numbers and benign inflation helped ease risk concerns. Nearly all markets outside the US had positive returns for the period, with local results generally lifted for dollar-based investors as most major currencies strengthened verus the US dollar. STRATEGIC REVIEW: OUTPERFORMANCE DRIVEN BY STOCK SELECTION The Portfolio had a good showing in both absolute and relative terms, aided by favorable stock selection in the technology sector. Our holdings had a collective double-digit gain, amid a lackluster environment for technology stocks globally. Tessera Technologies (1.7% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004), an intellectual property rights company catering to electronics chip makers, was a standout, benefiting from a favorable settlement in a copyright infringement dispute. The Portfolio's health care stocks also outperformed, led by Sepracor (1.9% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004), which was buoyed by the late-period FDA approval of its new insomnia drug. On the negative side regarding relative return, the Portfolio's consumer staples and industrial holdings underperformed. With respect to noteworthy recent portfolio activity, our purchases included Formfactor (0.6% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004), a leader in an emerging segment within the semiconductor capital equipment industry. The 1 <Page> company manufactures wafer probe cards, which are used in the testing stage of semiconductor chip production. Our investment was based in part on our confidence in the company's new management team. We also purchased Herbalife (1.6% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004), a US-based distributor of health care products. The company plans a major expansion into China in 2005, which we think could be a source of sales and earnings growth going forward. Our sales late in the period included Urban Outfitters. The stock had strong performance in 2004, making it expensive based on our view of same-store sales comparisons as 2005 progresses. GOING FORWARD: BOTTOM-UP APPROACH TO VENTURE-BACKED COMPANIES We intend to continue to narrow our large overweighting in the consumer discretionary area, especially in the US. After almost five years of uninterrupted growth in spending, US consumer buying patterns have begun to slow; we find apparel retail less attractive than other areas of consumer discretionary. At the same time, we have been increasing our exposure to hotels and entertainment companies, in the view that travel could pick up in 2005 in part due to increased tourism fueled by a weaker US dollar. As always, we maintain a bottom-up stock selection process that emphasizes companies we believe possess compelling business models, solid finances and the potential to deliver consistent earnings growth.

Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The table illustrates your Portfolio's expenses in two ways: - ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold. - HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you paid for the period. Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. 4 <Page> EXPENSES AND VALUE OF A $1,000 INVESTMENT FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 <Table> ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/01/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,095.30 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 7.37 HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/01/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,018.10 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 7.10 ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIOS* 1.40% </Table> - ---------- * EXPENSES ARE EQUAL TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO MULTIPLIED BY THE AVERAGE ACCOUNT VALUE OVER THE PERIOD, MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF DAYS IN THE MOST RECENT FISCAL HALF YEAR PERIOD, THEN DIVIDED BY 366. THE "EXPENSES PAID PER $1,000" AND THE "ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIOS" IN THE TABLES ARE BASED ON ACTUAL EXPENSES PAID BY THE PORTFOLIO DURING THE PERIOD, NET OF FEE WAIVERS AND/OR EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS. IF THOSE FEE WAIVERS AND/OR EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS HAD NOT BEEN IN EFFECT, THE PORTFOLIO'S ACTUAL EXPENSES WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER.

(3) Interest earned on uninvested cash balances may be used to offset portions of the transfer agent expense. These arrangements resulted in a reduction to the Portfolio's net expense ratio by .02% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The Portfolio's net operating expense ratio after reflecting these arrangements was 1.40% for the year ended December 31, 2000. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001, there was no effect on the net operating expense ratio because of transfer agent credits. See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 15 <Page> CREDIT SUISSE TRUST -- GLOBAL POST-VENTURE CAPITAL PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2004 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Credit Suisse Trust, (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and currently offers eight managed investment portfolios of which one, the Global Post-Venture Capital Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), is included in this report. The Portfolio is a diversified investment fund that seeks long-term growth of capital. Shares of the Portfolio are not available directly to individual investors but may be offered only through (a) variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts offered by separate accounts of certain insurance companies and (b) tax-qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio may not be available in connection with a particular contract or plan. The Trust was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a business trust on March 15, 1995. A) SECURITY VALUATION -- The net asset value of the Portfolio is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. The Portfolio's equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Portfolio's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees under procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Portfolio may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Trustees to fair value certain securities. The Portfolio initially values its investments in private-equity portfolios ("Private Funds") at the amount invested in the Private Funds, less related expenses, where identifiable, unless and until Credit Suisse Asset 16 <Page> Management, LLC ("CSAM") determines that such value does not represent fair value. Thereafter, investments in Private Funds held by the Portfolio are valued at their "fair values" using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. CSAM shall review daily the Portfolio's fair valued securities. B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS -- The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Portfolio does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in EQUITY securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. The Portfolio isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in DEBT securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. C) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). E) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Trust's intention to have the Portfolio continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes. 17 <Page> F) USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. G) SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS -- The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, pools available cash into either a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Portfolio's custodian, or a money market fund advised by CSAM. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment. H) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency. The Portfolio will enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily for hedging purposes. Forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date or an offsetting position is entered into. At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had no open forward foreign currency contracts. I) SECURITIES LENDING -- Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Portfolio in connection with securities lending activity is pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM and may be invested in a variety of investments, including certain CSAM-advised funds, funds advised by SSB, the Portfolio's securities lending agent or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. 18 <Page> The market value of securities on loan to brokers and the value of collateral held by the Portfolio with respect to such loans at December 31, 2004 is as follow: <Table> <Caption> MARKET VALUE OF VALUE OF SECURITIES LOANED COLLATERAL RECEIVED ----------------- ------------------- $ 20,567,559 $ 21,278,466 </Table> Prior to March 17, 2004, Credit Suisse First Boston ("CFSB"), an affiliate of CSAM, had been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. The Portfolio earned no income from securities lending through the period ended March 17, 2004. Effective March 17, 2004, SSB has been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. The Portfolio's securities lending arrangement provides that the Portfolio and SSB will share the net income earned from securities lending activities, with the Portfolio receiving 70% and SSB receiving 30% of the earnings from the investment of cash collateral or any other securities lending income in accordance with the provisions of the securities lending agency agreement. The Portfolio may also be entitled to certain minimum amounts of income from its securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned. J) PARTNERSHIP ACCOUNTING POLICY -- The Portfolio records its pro-rata share of the income/(loss) and capital gains/(losses) allocated from the underlying partnerships and adjusts the cost of the underlying partnerships accordingly. These amounts are included in the Portfolio's Statement of Operations. K) OTHER -- The Portfolio may invest in securities of foreign countries and governments which involve certain risks in addition to those inherent in domestic investments. Such risks generally include, among others, currency risk (fluctuations in currency exchange rates), information risk (key information may be inaccurate or unavailable) and political risk (expropriation, nationalization or the imposition of capital or currency controls or punitive taxes). Other risks of investing in foreign securities include liquidity and valuation risks. The Portfolio may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests, with respect to its investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Portfolio accrues such taxes when the related income or gains are earned. 19 <Page> The Portfolio may invest up to 15% of its net assets in non-publicly traded securities. Non-publicly traded securities may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from such sales could differ from the price originally paid by the Portfolio or the current carrying values, and the difference could be material. NOTE 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES CSAM serves as investment adviser for the Portfolio. For its investment advisory services, CSAM is entitled to receive a fee from the Portfolio at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2004, investment advisory fees earned and voluntarily waived for the Portfolio were $1,337,945 and $179,344, respectively. CSAM will not recapture from the Portfolio any fees it waived during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (CSAM U.K.) ("CSAM Ltd. U.K."), Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (CSAM Japan) ("CSAM Ltd. Japan") and Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (CSAM Australia) ("CSAM Ltd. Australia"), each an affiliate of CSAM, are sub-investment advisers to the Portfolio. CSAM Ltd. U.K., CSAM Ltd. Japan and CSAM Ltd. Australia's sub-investment advisory fees are paid by CSAM out of CSAM's net investment advisory fee and are not paid by the Portfolio. As of December 3, 2004, CSAM Ltd. Japan no longer serves as sub-investment adviser to the Portfolio. Prior to July 30, 2004 (the "Effective Date"), Abbott Capital Management, LLC ("Abbott Capital") served as sub-investment adviser for the Portfolio's assets invested in Private Funds. Pursuant to the sub-advisory agreement between Abbott Capital and CSAM, Abbott Capital was entitled to a quarterly fee from CSAM at the annual rate of 1.00% of the value of the Portfolio's Private Funds as of the end of each calendar quarter, which fee amount or a portion thereof could be waived by Abbott Capital. No compensation was paid by the Portfolio to Abbott Capital for its sub-investment advisory services. As of the Effective Date, Abbott Capital no longer serves as the Portfolio's sub-investment advisor. A portfolio management team at CSAM makes the Portfolio's day-to-day investment decisions with respect to Private Funds. CSAM retains all fees previously payable to Abbott Capital. Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities, Inc. ("CSAMSI"), an affiliate of CSAM, and SSB serve as co-administrators to the Portfolio. 20 <Page> For its co-administrative services, CSAMSI currently receives a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2004, co-administrative services fees earned by CSAMSI were $107,036. For its co-administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, based upon the following fee schedule calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio subject to an annual minimum fee. <Table> <Caption> AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS ANNUAL RATE ------------------------ ---------------------------------- First $5 billion 0.050% of average daily net assets Next $5 billion 0.035% of average daily net assets Over $10 billion 0.020% of average daily net assets </Table> For the year ended December 31, 2004, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) were $69,659. In addition to serving as the Portfolio's co-administrator, CSAMSI currently serves as distributor of the Portfolio's shares without compensation. Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of CSAM, has been engaged by the Portfolio to provide certain financial printing and fulfillment services. For the year ended December 31, 2004, Merrill was paid $13,636 for its services to the Portfolio. NOTE 3. LINE OF CREDIT The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $75 million committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and SSB as operations agent. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. At December 31, 2004, and during the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had no borrowings under the Credit Facility. 21 <Page> NOTE 4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES For the year ended December 31, 2004, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $80,925,659 and $91,181,773, respectively. NOTE 5. RESTRICTED SECURITIES Certain investments of the Portfolio are restricted as to resale and are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees under procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The table below shows the number of shares held, the acquisition dates, aggregate costs, fair values as of December 31, 2004, the value per share of such securities, the percentage of net assets which the securities represent, the distributions received from each investment and the open commitments.

Transactions in capital shares of the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> FOR THE YEAR ENDED FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 DECEMBER 31, 2003 ------------------ ------------------ Shares sold 3,577,338 7,854,852 Shares redeemed (4,558,615) (6,480,897) ---------- ---------- Net increase (decrease) (981,277) 1,373,955 ========== ========== </Table> 22 <Page> On December 31, 2004, the number of shareholders that held 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> NUMBER OF APPROXIMATE PERCENTAGE SHAREHOLDERS OF OUTSTANDING SHARES ------------ ---------------------- 5 74% </Table> Some of the shareholders are omnibus accounts, which hold shares on behalf of individual shareholders. NOTE 7. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of foreign currency transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, post October losses, and gains and losses from investments in partnerships. At December 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows: <Table> Accumulated net realized loss $ (72,621,526) Unrealized appreciation 29,508,462 Undistributed Ordinary Loss -- Other (6,484) ---------------- $ (43,119,548) ================ </Table> At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows: <Table> <Caption> EXPIRES DECEMBER 31, --------------------------------------------- 2009 2010 2011 ------------- ------------- ------------ $ 48,267,661 $ 19,475,667 $ 4,878,198 </Table> During the tax year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio has utilized $8,989,723 of the capital loss carryforward. Under current tax law, certain capital losses realized after October 31 within a taxable year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the tax period ended December 31, 2004 the Portfolio elected to defer net losses arising between November 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004 as follows: <Table> <Caption> CURRENCY CAPITAL -------- -------- $ 6,484 $ -- </Table> 23 <Page> At December 31, 2004, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized appreciation from investments were $101,322,334, $30,473,029, $(977,788) and $29,495,241, respectively. At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio reclassified $874,227 from paid-in capital and $26,505 from accumulated net realized loss from investments to accumulated net investment loss, to adjust for current period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatments of net operating losses, and foreign currency transactions. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. NOTE 8. CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolio and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote. 24 <Page> CREDIT SUISSE TRUST -- GLOBAL POST-VENTURE CAPITAL PORTFOLIO REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of Credit Suisse Trust and Shareholders of Credit Suisse Trust -- Global Post-Venture Capital Portfolio: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Post-Venture Capital Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a portfolio of the Credit Suisse Trust, at December 31, 2004, 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 five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

An improving global economy and brighter earnings outlook resulted in gains in virtually all foreign markets, some mid-period turbulence on interest-rate worries notwithstanding. For dollar-based investors, returns generated abroad were boosted by strengthening in most currencies versus the US dollar in the year. Emerging stock markets handily outperformed developed markets, aided in part by high commodity prices. STRATEGIC REVIEW: EMERGING MARKET GAINS, UNDERPERFORMANCE IN JAPAN The Portfolio had a gain but underperformed its benchmark, which we attribute in large part to stock selection in Japan in the first half of the year. At the time, we had had a bias toward exporters, particularly in the technology and industrial areas, that appeared attractive to us based on valuation. However, investors shunned these stocks in favor of domestic recovery plays, which had a strong run in the spring. As we became more comfortable with the economic rebound story, we increased our domestic exposure, but could not gain back the underperformance by year-end. Other stocks that hindered relative performance included the Portfolio's financial services and health care holdings. On the positive side, the Portfolio benefited from good stock selection in the telecommunications and energy sectors. Regarding noteworthy recent portfolio activity, our purchases included the Air China IPO (0.8% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004). We think the company has good growth prospects and could benefit from a reversal in fuel costs, which had been rising. We also added to our position in Samsung Heavy Industries (1.2% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004), a South Korea shipping manufacturer. We think that demand for its tankers used to ship liquids and gases will remain firm, while the company's input costs ease as steel prices pull back. One recent elimination in the Portfolio was Cadbury Schweppes. Our view is that the UK-based foods company faces earnings erosion via a weakening US dollar, as it derives a significant portion on its earnings from the US. 1 <Page> Going forward, we believe that international equity markets have the potential to continue to perform well, with stocks remaining attractively valued vs. bonds, and as the appeal of owning foreign currencies broadens, barring a sudden surge in the dollar. For our part, we will remain focused on identifying companies we believe have the best prospects for consistent earnings growth, while keeping a close eye on currency translation effects on our export-biased holdings.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. 3 <Page> INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PORTFOLIO'S EXPENSES As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The table illustrates your Portfolio's expenses in two ways: - ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold. - HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you paid for the period. Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. 4 <Page> EXPENSES AND VALUE OF A $1,000 INVESTMENT FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 <Table> ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/1/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,134.70 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 7.29 HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/1/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,018.30 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 6.89 ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIOS* 1.36% </Table> - ---------- * EXPENSES ARE EQUAL TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO MULTIPLIED BY THE AVERAGE ACCOUNT VALUE OVER THE PERIOD, MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF DAYS IN THE MOST RECENT FISCAL HALF YEAR PERIOD, THEN DIVIDED BY 366. THE "EXPENSES PAID PER $1,000" AND THE "ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIOS" IN THE TABLES ARE BASED ON ACTUAL EXPENSES PAID BY THE PORTFOLIO DURING THE PERIOD, NET OF FEE WAIVERS AND/OR EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS. IF THOSE FEE WAIVERS AND/OR EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS HAD NOT BEEN IN EFFECT, THE PORTFOLIO'S ACTUAL EXPENSES WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER.

For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001, there was no effect on the net operating expense ratio because of transfer agent credits. See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 15 <Page> CREDIT SUISSE TRUST -- INTERNATIONAL FOCUS PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2004 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Credit Suisse Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and currently offers eight managed investment portfolios of which one, the International Focus Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), is included in this report. The Portfolio is a diversified investment fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation. Shares of the Portfolio are not available directly to individual investors but may be offered only through (a) variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts offered by separate accounts of certain insurance companies and (b) tax-qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio may not be available in connection with a particular contract or plan. The Trust was organized under laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a business trust on March 15, 1995. A) SECURITY VALUATION -- The net asset value of the Portfolio is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. The Portfolio's equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Portfolio's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees under procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Portfolio may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Trustees to fair value certain securities. B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS -- The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into 16 <Page> U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Portfolio does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in EQUITY securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. The Portfolio isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in DEBT securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. C) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). E) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Trust's intention to have the Portfolio continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes. F) USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. G) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS -- The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC 17 <Page> ("CSAM"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, pools available cash into either a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Portfolio's custodian, or a money market fund advised by CSAM. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment. H) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency. The Portfolio will enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily for hedging purposes. Forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date or an offsetting position is entered into. At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had no open forward foreign currency contracts. I) SECURITIES LENDING -- Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Portfolio in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM and may be invested in a variety of investments, including certain CSAM-advised funds, funds advised by SSB, the Portfolio's securities lending agent or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. The market value of securities on loan to brokers and the value of collateral held by the Portfolio with respect to such loans at December 31, 2004 is as follows: <Table> <Caption> MARKET VALUE OF VALUE OF SECURITIES LOANED COLLATERAL RECEIVED -------------------- -------------------- $ 15,875,537 $ 16,684,254 </Table> Prior to March 17, 2004, Credit Suisse First Boston ("CSFB"), an affiliate of CSAM, had been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. 18 <Page> Effective March 17, 2004, SSB has been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. The Portfolio's securities lending arrangement provides that the Portfolio and SSB will share the net income earned from the securities lending activities, with the Portfolio receiving 70% and SSB receiving 30% of the earnings from the investment of cash collateral or any other securities lending income in accordance with the provisions of the securities lending agency agreement. The Portfolio may also be entitled to certain minimum amounts of income from its securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned. J) OTHER -- The Portfolio may invest in securities of foreign countries and governments which involve certain risks in addition to those inherent in domestic investments. Such risks generally include, among others, currency risk (fluctuations in currency exchange rates), information risk (key information may be inaccurate or unavailable) and political risk (expropriation, nationalization or the imposition of capital or currency controls or punitive taxes). Other risks of investing in foreign securities include liquidity and valuation risks. The Portfolio may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests, with respect to its investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Portfolio accrues such taxes when the related income or gains are earned. The Portfolio may invest up to 15% of its net assets in non-publicly traded securities. Non-publicly traded securities may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from such sales could differ from the price originally paid by the Portfolio or the current carrying values, and the difference could be material. NOTE 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES CSAM serves as investment adviser for the Portfolio. For its investment advisory services, CSAM is entitled to receive a fee from the Portfolio at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2004, investment advisory fees earned were $851,378. Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (CSAM U.K.) ("CSAM Ltd. U.K."), Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (CSAM Japan) ("CSAM Ltd. Japan") and Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (CSAM Australia) 19 <Page> ("CSAM Ltd. Australia"), each an affiliate of CSAM, are sub-investment advisers to the Portfolio. CSAM Ltd. U.K., CSAM Ltd. Japan, and CSAM Ltd. Australia's sub-investment advisory fees are paid by CSAM out of CSAM's net investment advisory fee and are not paid by the Portfolio. As of December 3, 2004, CSAM Ltd. Japan no longer serves as investment adviser to the Portfolio. Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities, Inc. ("CSAMSI"), an affiliate of CSAM, and SSB serve as co-administrators to the Portfolio. For its co-administrative services, CSAMSI currently receives a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2004, co-administrative services fees earned by CSAMSI were $85,138. For its co-administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, based upon the following fee schedule calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio, subject to an annual minimum fee. <Table> <Caption> AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS ANNUAL RATE ----------------------------- ------------------------------------- First $5 billion 0.050% of average daily net assets Next $5 billion 0.035% of average daily net assets Over $10 billion 0.020% of average daily net assets </Table> For the year ended December 31, 2004, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) were $56,097. In addition to serving as the Portfolio's co-administrator, CSAMSI currently serves as distributor of the Portfolio's shares without compensation. For the period January 1, 2004 to March 16, 2004, CSFB received $1,821 in fees for its securities lending activities. Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of CSAM, has been engaged by the Portfolio to provide certain financial printing and fulfillment services. For the year ended December 31, 2004, Merrill was paid $13,009 for its services to the Portfolio. NOTE 3. LINE OF CREDIT The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $75 million 20 <Page> committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and SSB as operations agent. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. At December 31, 2004, there were no loans outstanding under the Credit Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had borrowings under the Credit Facility as follows: <Table> <Caption> AVERAGE DAILY WEIGHTED AVERAGE MAXIMUM DAILY LOAN BALANCE INTEREST RATE LOAN OUTSTANDING -------------- ---------------- ---------------- $ 422,000 1.536% $ 552,000 </Table> NOTE 4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES For the year ended December 31, 2004, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $74,711,717 and $90,732,733, respectively. NOTE 5. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, $.001 par value per share. Transactions in capital shares of the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> FOR THE YEAR ENDED FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 DECEMBER 31, 2003 ------------------ ------------------ Shares sold 2,182,090 13,623,363 Shares issued in reinvestment of dividends 93,994 49,917 Shares redeemed (3,858,141) (16,338,646) ---------- ----------- Net decrease (1,582,057) (2,665,366) ========== =========== </Table> On December 31, 2004, the number of shareholders that held 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> NUMBER OF APPROXIMATE PERCENTAGE SHAREHOLDERS OF OUTSTANDING SHARES ------------ ----------------------- 4 89% </Table> Some of the shareholders are omnibus accounts, which hold shares on behalf of individual shareholders. 21 <Page> NOTE 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of foreign currency transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, and the treatment of foreign tax. The tax character of dividends paid during the years ended December 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively, for the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> ORDINARY INCOME ---------------------------- 2004 2003 ------------ ------------- $ 824,282 $ 388,857 </Table> At December 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis for the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> Undistributed net investment income $ 739,704 Accumulated net realized loss (120,422,989) Unrealized appreciation 17,430,369 ---------------- $ (102,252,916) ================ </Table> At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows: <Table> <Caption> EXPIRES DECEMBER 31, --------------------------------------------- 2009 2010 2011 ------------- ------------- ------------- $ 79,926,194 $ 37,413,453 $ 3,083,342 </Table> During the tax year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio has utilized $12,680,713 of the capital loss carryforward. At December 31, 2004, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized appreciation from investments were $85,975,926, $17,556,441, $(153,874) and $17,402,567, respectively. 22 <Page> At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio reclassified $94,999 from undistributed net investment income to accumulated net realized loss from investments, to adjust for current period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatments of foreign currency transactions and realized capital gain tax. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. NOTE 7. CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolio and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote. 23 <Page> CREDIT SUISSE TRUST -- INTERNATIONAL FOCUS PORTFOLIO REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of Credit Suisse Trust and Shareholders of Credit Suisse Trust -- International Focus Portfolio: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of International Focus Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a portfolio of the Credit Suisse Trust, at December 31, 2004, 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 five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

However, the market quickly encountered headwinds, mostly in the form of domestic and international political uncertainty, worries over rising interest rates and a surge in oil prices. Stocks languished into late October but ended the year on a bright note when a decisive presidential election, better employment numbers and benign inflation helped ease risk concerns. Growth stocks advanced but lagged value stocks for the 12 months, reflecting the outperformance of energy and industrial-type companies, which comprise a larger share of the value universe. Broadly, small cap equities outperformed large caps, a trend often (but not always) seen in the early stages of economic recovery and amid low interest rates. STRATEGIC REVIEW: HELPED BY HEALTH CARE, HINDERED BY CHIP EQUIPMENT The Portfolio had a gain but underperformed its benchmark, in part due to stock selection in the financial services sector. ESpeed, an electronic securities trading company, sold off on competition fears. We eliminated the position late in the period. In addition, the Portfolio's semiconductor-equipment stocks fell amid a broad selloff in the group, hampering our performance in the producer durables sector. We selectively reduced our semiconductor exposure in the latter part of the period. Positive forces for the Portfolio included stock focus within technology. Our holdings here outperformed the benchmark's technology component by a wide margin, aided by Tessera Technologies (1.4% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004). The intellectual property rights company rallied on optimism regarding its royalty revenues. The Portfolio's health care stocks contributed positively to its relative and absolute return, led by Sepracor (a position we sold late in the period as it became a mid-cap stock), a pharmaceutical company specializing in respiratory treatments, and Centene (0.9% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004), a diversified managed care stock that was buoyed by continued, consistent profit growth. The Portfolio also drew support from an overweighting and good stock selection in the energy sector. 1 <Page> GOING FORWARD: OPPORTUNITIES IN VARIED SECTORS We have adjusted our producer durables exposure, ending the period with an underweighting after being modestly overweighted a year ago. We still view specific stocks here positively, including Kennametal (0.9% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004), a tool and die maker we added to the Portfolio late in the period. We believe that a recovery in industrial America should support its long-term growth prospects. Elsewhere, we think that an improving economy may benefit brokerages and money managers, and we hence have a bias toward these companies within the financial sector. We also have exposure to providers of business intelligence software, demand for which is rising due to greater corporate accountability associated with Sarbanes-Oxley legislation. As we move ahead, we intend to continue to raise our exposure to the hotels and entertainment areas, in the belief that such companies should benefit from increased travel, including tourism spurred by a weaker US dollar vs. other major currencies.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. 3 <Page> INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PORTFOLIO'S EXPENSES As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The table illustrates your Portfolio's expenses in two ways: - ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold. - HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you paid for the period. Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. 4 <Page> EXPENSES AND VALUE OF A $1,000 INVESTMENT FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 <Table> ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/1/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,031.70 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 5.62 HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/1/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,019.61 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 5.58 ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIOS* 1.10% </Table> - ---------- * EXPENSES ARE EQUAL TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO MULTIPLIED BY THE AVERAGE ACCOUNT VALUE OVER THE PERIOD, MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF DAYS IN THE MOST RECENT FISCAL HALF YEAR PERIOD, THEN DIVIDED BY 366. THE "EXPENSES PAID PER $1,000" AND THE "ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIOS" IN THE TABLES ARE BASED ON ACTUAL EXPENSES PAID BY THE PORTFOLIO DURING THE PERIOD, NET OF FEE WAIVERS AND/OR EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS.

See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 14 <Page> CREDIT SUISSE TRUST -- SMALL CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2004 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Credit Suisse Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and currently offers eight managed investment portfolios of which one, the Small Cap Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), is included in this report. The Portfolio is a diversified investment fund that seeks capital growth. Shares of the Portfolio are not available directly to individual investors but may be offered only through (a) variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts offered by separate accounts of certain insurance companies and (b) tax-qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio may not be available in connection with a particular contract or plan. The Trust was organized under laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a business trust on March 15, 1995. A) SECURITY VALUATION -- The net asset value of the Portfolio is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. The Portfolio's equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Portfolio's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees under procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Portfolio may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Trustees to fair value certain securities. B) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. 15 <Page> C) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Trust's intention to have the Portfolio continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes. E) USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. F) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS -- The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("CSAM") an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, pools available cash into either a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Portfolio's custodian, or a money market fund advised by CSAM. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment. G) SECURITIES LENDING -- Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Portfolio in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM and may be invested in a variety of investments, including certain CSAM-advised funds, funds advised by SSB, the Portfolio's securities lending agent or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. 16 <Page> The market value of securities on loan to brokers and the value of collateral held by the Portfolio with respect to such loans at December 31, 2004 is as follows: <Table> <Caption> MARKET VALUE OF VALUE OF SECURITIES LOANED COLLATERAL RECEIVED ----------------- ------------------- $ 186,569,220 $ 191,606,947 </Table> Prior to March 17, 2004, Credit Suisse First Boston ("CSFB"), an affiliate of CSAM, had been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. Effective March 17, 2004, SSB has been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. The Portfolio's securities lending arrangement provides that the Portfolio and SSB will share the net income earned from the securities lending activities, with the Portfolio receiving 70% and SSB receiving 30% of the earnings from the investment of cash collateral or any other securities lending income in accordance with the provisions of the securities lending agency agreement. The Portfolio may also be entitled to certain minimum amounts of income from its securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned. H) OTHER -- The Portfolio may invest up to 15% of its net assets in non-publicly traded securities. Non-publicly traded securities may be less liquid than publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from such sales could differ from the price originally paid by the Portfolio or the current carrying values, and the difference could be material. NOTE 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES CSAM serves as investment adviser for the Portfolio. For its investment advisory services, CSAM is entitled to receive a fee from the Portfolio at an annual rate of 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2004, investment advisory fees earned were $6,994,293. Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities, Inc. ("CSAMSI"), an affiliate of CSAM, and SSB serve as co-administrators to the Portfolio. For its co-administrative services, CSAMSI currently receives a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2004, co-administrative services fees earned by CSAMSI were $777,148. 17 <Page> For its co-administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, based upon the following fee schedule calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio subject to an annual minimum fee. <Table> <Caption> AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS ANNUAL RATE ------------------------ --------------------------------- First $5 billion 0.050% of average daily net assets Next $5 billion 0.035% of average daily net assets Over $10 billion 0.020% of average daily net assets </Table> For the year ended December 31, 2004, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) were $458,935. In addition to serving as the Portfolio's co-administrator, CSAMSI currently serves as distributor of the Portfolio's shares without compensation. For the period January 1, 2004 to March 16, 2004, CSFB received $2,552 in fees for its securities lending activities. Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of CSAM, has been engaged by the Portfolio to provide certain financial printing and fulfillment services. For the year ended December 31, 2004, Merrill was paid $12,656 for its services to the Portfolio. NOTE 3. LINE OF CREDIT The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $75 million committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and SSB as operations agent. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. At December 31, 2004 and during the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had no borrowings under the Credit Facility. 18 <Page> NOTE 4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES For the year ended December 31, 2004, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $728,755,813 and $795,817,692, respectively. NOTE 5. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, $.001 par value per share. Transactions in capital shares of the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> FOR THE YEAR ENDED FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 DECEMBER 31, 2003 ------------------ ------------------ Shares sold 5,103,557 12,617,432 Shares redeemed (11,169,224) (10,401,597) ------------ ------------ Net increase (decrease) (6,065,667) 2,215,835 ============ ============ </Table> On December 31, 2004, the number of shareholders that held 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> NUMBER OF APPROXIMATE PERCENTAGE SHAREHOLDERS OF OUTSTANDING SHARES ------------ --------------------- 3 85% </Table> Some of the shareholders are omnibus accounts, which hold shares on behalf of individual shareholders. NOTE 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of losses deferred due to net operating losses and wash sales. At December 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis for the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> Accumulated net realized loss $ (195,345,355) Unrealized appreciation 110,553,179 --------------- $ (84,792,176) =============== </Table> 19 <Page> At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows: <Table> <Caption> EXPIRES DECEMBER 31, ---------------------------------------------- 2009 2010 2011 ------------- ------------- ------------ $ 96,858,400 $ 93,228,766 $ 5,258,189 </Table> During the tax year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio has utilized $80,575,738 of the capital loss carryforward. At December 31, 2004, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized appreciation from investments were $850,315,017, $141,837,961, ($31,284,784) and $110,553,177, respectively. At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio reclassified $7,172,470 from paid-in capital to undistributed net investment loss, to adjust for current period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatments of net operating losses. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. NOTE 7. CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolio and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote. 20 <Page> CREDIT SUISSE TRUST -- SMALL CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of Credit Suisse Trust and Shareholders of Credit Suisse Trust -- Small Cap Growth Portfolio: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Small Cap Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a portfolio of the Credit Suisse Trust, at December 31, 2004, 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 five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

However, the market quickly encountered headwinds, mostly in the form of domestic and international political uncertainty, worries over rising interest rates and a surge in oil prices. Stocks languished into late October, but ended the year on a bright note when a decisive presidential election, better employment numbers and benign inflation helped ease risk concerns. Growth stocks advanced but lagged value stocks for the 12 months, reflecting the outperformance of energy and industrial-type companies, which comprise a larger share of the value universe. Broadly, small and mid-cap equities outperformed large caps, a trend often (but not always) seen in the early stages of economic recovery and amid low interest rates. STRATEGIC REVIEW: TECHNOLOGY OUTPERFORMS WHILE CONSUMER, HEALTH CARE LAG The Portfolio had a gain but underperformed its benchmarks. Stocks that hindered the Portfolio's relative performance included its holdings in the consumer discretionary sector. Netflix, an online DVD rental company, declined as its business model became a rapid success, drawing the attention of potential competitors and forcing the company to lower its fees. We decided to eliminate the position late in the period. The Portfolio's health care stocks collectively advanced but underperformed. In addition, the Portfolio's semiconductor-equipment stocks fell amid a broad selloff in the group, hampering our performance in the producer durables sector. We selectively reduced our semiconductor exposure in the latter part of the period. On the positive side, stock selection in the technology sector was a contributor to relative performance. Noteworthy gainers here included Tessera Technologies (1.3% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004), an intellectual property rights company catering to electronics chip makers. It benefited from a favorable settlement in a copyright infringement dispute. The Portfolio's materials holdings also added value, paced by Monsanto (1.9% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004), a leader in the expanding area of bioengineered agriculture. 1 <Page> GOING FORWARD: FOCUS ON COMPANY SELECTION Stocks we added recently to the Portfolio included NCR (1.8% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004), a manufacturer of ATM machines and cash registers. The company's growth should be supported, in our view, by new ATM unit sales across the country, as well as by an upgrade cycle of existing ATM units that could extend for three or more years. Another recent purchase was Macromedia (2.1% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004), whose software products are used in the creation of interactive Web publishing. We see potential growth catalysts in the upgrade of its major product -- which accounts for about two-thirds of the company's revenues at present -- and a new product making inroads to the wireless telecommunications area. One noteworthy sale we made late in the period was Starbucks. After a period of strong performance that pushed the stock into large-cap territory, we eliminated the position and redeployed assets to more attractively priced stocks in the mid-cap area. Looking ahead, we expect that against a backdrop of modest economic growth and amid generally compressed stock valuations, individual company selection should prove critical to performance over the next year. We think the mid cap space offers compelling opportunities, given the number of relatively underfollowed companies that we believe nonetheless offer liquidity in the market.

Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The table illustrates your Portfolio's expenses in two ways: - ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold. - HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you paid for the period. Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. 4 <Page> EXPENSES AND VALUE OF A $1,000 INVESTMENT FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 <Table> ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/01/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,061.10 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 6.48 HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/01/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,018.85 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 6.34 ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIOS* 1.25% </Table> - ---------- * EXPENSES ARE EQUAL TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO MULTIPLIED BY THE AVERAGE ACCOUNT VALUE OVER THE PERIOD, MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF DAYS IN THE MOST RECENT FISCAL HALF YEAR PERIOD, THEN DIVIDED BY 366.

Had certian expenses not been reduced during the years shown, total returns would have been lower. (4) Interest earned on uninvested cash balances may be used to offset portions of the transfer agent expense. These arrangements resulted in a reduction to the Portfolio's net expense ratio by .01% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The Portfolio's net operating expense ratio after reflecting these arrangements was 1.25% for the year ended December 31, 2000. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001, there was no effect on the net operating expense ratio because of transfer agent credits. See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 14 <Page> CREDIT SUISSE TRUST -- MID-CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2004 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Credit Suisse Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and currently offers eight managed investment portfolios of which one, the Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio (formerly the Emerging Growth Portfolio), (the "Portfolio"), is included in this report. The Portfolio is a diversified investment fund that seeks maximum capital appreciation. Shares of the Portfolio are not available directly to individual investors but may be offered only through (a) variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts offered by separate accounts of certain insurance companies and (b) tax-qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio may not be available in connection with a particular contract or plan. The Trust was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a business trust on March 15, 1995. A) SECURITY VALUATION -- The net asset value of the Portfolio is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. The Portfolio's equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that this method would not represent fair value. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Portfolio's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees under procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Portfolio may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which was has been approved by the Board of Trustees to fair value certain securities. B) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend 15 <Page> date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. C) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Trust's intention to have the Portfolio continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes. E) USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. F) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS -- The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("CSAM"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, pools available cash into either a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Portfolio's custodian, or a money market fund advised by CSAM. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment. G) SECURITIES LENDING -- Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Portfolio in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM and may be invested in a variety of investments, including certain CSAM-advised funds, funds advised by SSB, the Portfolio's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. 16 <Page> However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. The market value of securities on loan to brokers and the value of collateral held by the Portfolio with respect to such loans at December 31, 2004 is as follows: <Table> <Caption> MARKET VALUE OF VALUE OF SECURITIES LOANED COLLATERAL RECEIVED ----------------- ------------------- $ 3,803,859 $ 3,892,552 </Table> Prior to March 17, 2004, Credit Suisse First Boston ("CSFB"), an affiliate of CSAM, had been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. The Portfolio earned no income from securities lending through the period ended March 17, 2004. Effective March 17, 2004, SSB has been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. The Portfolio's securities lending arrangement provides that the Portfolio and SSB will share the net income earned from securities lending activities, with the Portfolio receiving 70% and SSB receiving 30% of the earnings from the investment of cash collateral or any other securities lending income in accordance with the provisions of the securities lending agency agreement. The Portfolio may also be entitled to certain minimum amounts of income from its securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned. NOTE 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES CSAM serves as investment adviser for the Portfolio. For its investment advisory services, CSAM is entitled to receive a fee from the Portfolio at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2004, investment advisory fees earned and voluntarily waived for the Portfolio were $375,187 and $32,751, respectively. CSAM will not recapture from the Portfolio any fees it waived during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities, Inc. ("CSAMSI"), an affiliate of CSAM, and SSB serve as co-administrators to the Portfolio. For its co-administrative services, CSAMSI currently receives a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2004, co-administrative services fees earned by CSAMSI were $41,688. 17 <Page> For its co-administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, based upon the following fee schedule calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio, subject to an annual minimum fee. <Table> <Caption> AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS ANNUAL RATE ------------------------ ----------- First $5 billion 0.050% of average daily net assets Next $5 billion 0.035% of average daily net assets Over $10 billion 0.020% of average daily net assets </Table> For the year ended December 31, 2004, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) were $32,122. In addition to serving as the Portfolio's co-administrator, CSAMSI currently serves as distributor of the Portfolio's shares without compensation. Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of CSAM, has been engaged by the Portfolio to provide certain financial printing and fulfillment services. For the year ended December 31, 2004, Merrill was paid $4,960 for its services to the Portfolio. NOTE 3. LINE OF CREDIT The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $75 million committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and SSB as operations agent. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. At December 31, 2004 and during the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had no borrowings under the Credit Facility. NOTE 4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES For the year ended December 31, 2004, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $48,334,395 and $54,082,575, respectively. 18 <Page> NOTE 5. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, $0.001 par value per share. Transactions in capital shares of the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> FOR THE YEAR ENDED FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 DECEMBER 31, 2003 ------------------ ------------------ Shares sold 189,024 317,577 Shares redeemed (558,423) (553,853) -------- -------- Net decrease (369,399) (236,276) ======== ======== </Table> On December 31, 2004, the number of shareholders that held 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> NUMBER OF APPROXIMATE PERCENTAGE SHAREHOLDERS OF OUTSTANDING SHARES ------------ ---------------------- 1 96% </Table> Some of the shareholders are omnibus accounts, which hold shares on behalf of individual shareholders. NOTE 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of net operating losses and losses deferred due to wash sales. At December 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis for the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> Accumulated net realized loss $ (17,864,179) Unrealized appreciation 8,184,603 ------------- $ (9,679,576) ============= </Table> At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows: <Table> <Caption> EXPIRES DECEMBER 31, -------------------------- 2009 2010 ------------ ----------- $ 13,798,285 $ 4,065,894 </Table> During the tax year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio has utilized $6,304,347 of the capital loss carryforward. 19 <Page> At December 31, 2004, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized appreciation from investments were $38,288,864, $8,332,140, $(147,539) and $8,184,601, respectively. At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio reclassified $362,186 from paid-in capital to accumulated net investment loss, to adjust for current period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatments of net operating losses. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. NOTE 7. CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolio and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote. 20 <Page> CREDIT SUISSE TRUST -- MID-CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of Credit Suisse Trust and Shareholders of Credit Suisse Trust -- Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a portfolio of the Credit Suisse Trust, at December 31, 2004, 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 five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

However, the market quickly encountered headwinds, mostly in the form of domestic and international political uncertainty, worries over rising interest rates and a surge in oil prices. Stocks languished into late October, but ended the year on a bright note when a decisive presidential election, better employment numbers and benign inflation helped ease risk concerns. Value stocks soundly outpaced growth stocks for the 12 months -- and were less volatile as well -- reflecting the outperformance of energy and industrial-type companies, which comprise a larger share of the value universe. Broadly, large cap equities trailed small caps, a trend often (but not always) seen in the early stages of economic recovery. STRATEGIC REVIEW: FOCUS ON COMPANY FUNDAMENTALS The Portfolio had a gain but underperformed its benchmark, which we attribute primarily to our stock selection in the technology sector. Holdings that detracted from performance included Unisys, an infrastructure solutions provider, and Seagate Technology, a disc drive manufacturer. We eliminated both positions in the period, based on our concerns over their business fundamentals. The Portfolio's utility-related holdings also hindered its return. On the positive side, the Portfolio's multi-business industrial companies aided its absolute and relative return; our nearly double weighting in this outperforming sector was also a plus. Tyco (2.8% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004) had a sizable gain amid an ongoing turnaround under new management. Other standouts were Textron and Eaton (1.6% and 1.7% of the Portfolio, respectively, as of December 31, 2004), both benefiting from improvements in demand and free cash-flows. Looking ahead, we believe that while the US economy should remain in a growth mode in 2005, the market is less likely to show the strength seen in the past two calendar years as earnings momentum softens. That said, we expect to continue to find attractive purchase opportunities on a bottom-up basis, 1 <Page> particularly among companies with robust business models and relatively high dividends.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. 3 <Page> INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PORTFOLIO'S EXPENSES As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The table illustrates your Portfolio's expenses in two ways: - ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold. - HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you paid for the period. Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. 4 <Page> EXPENSES AND VALUE OF A $1,000 INVESTMENT FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 <Table> ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/01/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,083.90 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 5.24 HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/01/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,020.11 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 5.08 ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIOS* 1.00% </Table> - ---------- * EXPENSES ARE EQUAL TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO MULTIPLIED BY THE AVERAGE ACCOUNT VALUE OVER THE PERIOD, MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF DAYS IN THE MOST RECENT FISCAL HALF YEAR PERIOD, THEN DIVIDED BY 366.

(2) Interest earned on uninvested cash balances may be used to offset portions of transfer agent expense. These arrangements resulted in a reduction to the Portfolio's net expense ratio by .02% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The Portfolio's net operating expense ratio after reflecting these arrangements was 1.00% for the year ended December 31, 2000. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001, there was no effect on the net operating expense ratio because of transfer agent credits. See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 13 <Page> CREDIT SUISSE TRUST -- LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2004 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Credit Suisse Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and currently offers eight managed investment portfolios of which one, the Large Cap Value Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), is included in this report. The Portfolio is a diversified investment fund that seeks long-term growth of capital and income. Shares of the Portfolio are not available directly to individual investors but may be offered only through (a) variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts offered by separate accounts of certain insurance companies and (b) tax-qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio may not be available in connection with a particular contract or plan. The Trust was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a business trust on March 15, 1995. A) SECURITY VALUATION -- The net asset value of the Portfolio is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. The Portfolio's equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Portfolio's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees under procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Portfolio may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Trustees to fair value certain securities. B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS -- The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate at the end of the period. 14 <Page> Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Portfolio does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in EQUITY securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. The Portfolio isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in DEBT securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. C) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). E) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Trust's intention to have the Portfolio continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes. F) USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent asset and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from these estimates. G) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS -- The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("CSAM"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, 15 <Page> pools available cash into either a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Portfolio's custodian, or a money market fund advised by CSAM. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment. H) SECURITIES LENDING -- Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Portfolio in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM and may be invested in a variety of investments, including certain CSAM-advised funds, funds advised by SSB, the Portfolio's securities lending agent or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. The market value of securities on loan to brokers and the value of collateral held by the Portfolio with respect to such loans at December 31, 2004 is as follows: <Table> <Caption> MARKET VALUE OF VALUE OF SECURITIES LOANED COLLATERAL RECEIVED ----------------- ------------------- $ 687,540 $ 708,575 </Table> Prior to March 17, 2004, Credit Suisse First Boston ("CFSB"), an affiliate of CSAM, had been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. The portfolio earned no income from securities lending through the period ended March 17, 2004. Effective March 17, 2004, SSB has been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. The Portfolio's securities lending arrangement provides that the Portfolio and SSB will share the net income earned form securities lending activities, with the Portfolio receiving 70% and SSB receiving 30% of the earnings from the investment of cash collateral or any other securities lending income in accordance with the provisions of the securities lending agency agreement. The Portfolio may also be entitled to certain minimum amounts of income from its securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned. 16 <Page> NOTE 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES CSAM serves as investment adviser for the Portfolio. For its investment advisory services, CSAM is entitled to receive a fee from the Portfolio at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2004, investment advisory fees earned and voluntarily waived were $307,830 and $59,448, respectively. CSAM will not recapture from the Portfolio any fees it waived during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities, Inc. ("CSAMSI"), an affiliate of CSAM, and SSB serve as co-administrators to the Portfolio. For its co-administrative services, CSAMSI currently receives a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2004, co-administrative services fees earned by CSAMSI were $41,044. For its co-administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, based upon the following fee schedule calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio, subject to an annual minimum fee. <Table> <Caption> AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS ANNUAL RATE ------------------------ ---------------------------------- First $5 billion 0.050% of average daily net assets Next $5 billion 0.035% of average daily net assets Over $10 billion 0.020% of average daily net assets </Table> For the year ended December 31, 2004, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket fees) were $30,712. In addition to serving as the Portfolio's co-administrator, CSAMSI currently serves as distributor of the Portfolio's shares without compensation. Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of CSAM, has been engaged by the Portfolio to provide certain financial printing and fulfillment services. For the year ended December 31, 2004, Merrill was paid $5,516 for its services to the Portfolio. NOTE 3. LINE OF CREDIT The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $75 million committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and SSB as operations agent. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee at a 17 <Page> rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. At December 31, 2004 the Portfolio had no loans outstanding under the Credit Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had borrowings under the Credit Facility as follows: <Table> <Caption> AVERAGE DAILY WEIGHTED AVERAGE MAXIMUM DAILY LOAN BALANCE INTEREST RATE % LOAN OUTSTANDING ------------- ---------------- ---------------- $ 515,800 2.626% $ 524,000 </Table> NOTE 4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES For the year ended December 31, 2004, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $34,331,485 and $20,821,954, respectively. NOTE 5. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, $0.001 par value per share. Transactions in capital shares of the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> FOR THE YEAR ENDED FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 DECEMBER 31, 2003 ------------------ ------------------ Shares sold 1,554,282 1,119,985 Shares issued in reinvestment of dividends 17,977 16,863 Shares redeemed (666,506) (901,899) ------------------ ------------------ Net increase 905,753 234,949 ================== ================== </Table> On December 31, 2004, the number of shareholders that held 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio was as follows: <Table> <Caption> NUMBER OF APPROXIMATE PERCENTAGE SHAREHOLDERS OF OUTSTANDING SHARES ------------ ---------------------- 2 94% </Table> Some of the shareholders are omnibus accounts, which hold shares on behalf of individual shareholders. 18 <Page> NOTE 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of losses deferred due to wash sales. The tax characteristics of dividends paid during the year ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, for the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> ORDINARY INCOME -------------------------- 2004 2003 --------- --------- $ 221,475 $ 181,610 </Table> At December 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis for the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> Undistributed net investment income $ 473,415 Accumulated net realized loss (4,176,449) Unrealized appreciation 7,961,615 ----------- $ 4,258,581 =========== </Table> At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows: <Table> <Caption> EXPIRES DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------------------------- 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 --------- --------- ----------- --------- --------- $ 634,365 $ 622,754 $ 1,790,646 $ 896,363 $ 232,321 </Table> At December 31, 2004, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized appreciation from investments were $37,584,516, $8,126,274, $(164,744) and $7,961,530, respectively. NOTE 7. CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolio and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote. 19 <Page> CREDIT SUISSE TRUST -- LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of Credit Suisse Trust and Shareholders of Credit Suisse Trust -- Large Cap Value Portfolio: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Large Cap Value Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a portfolio of the Credit Suisse Trust, at December 31, 2004, 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 five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with 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 are free of material misstatement.

However, the market quickly encountered headwinds, mostly in the form of domestic and international political uncertainty, worries over rising interest rates and a surge in oil prices. Stocks languished into late October, but ended the year on a bright note when a decisive presidential election, better employment numbers and benign inflation helped ease risk concerns. Value stocks soundly outpaced growth stocks for the 12 months -- and were less volatile as well -- reflecting the outperformance of energy and industrial-type companies, which comprise a larger share of the value universe. Broadly, small cap equities outperformed large cap equities, a trend often (but not always) seen in the early stages of economic recovery and amid low interest rates. STRATEGIC REVIEW: FOCUS ON COMPANY FUNDAMENTALS We continued to focus on companies generating strong cashflows and committed to adding shareholder value -- e.g., via share repurchase programs or higher dividend payouts. This strategy resulted in Portfolio overweightings in the energy sector, where our holdings outperformed. Denbury Resources (1.4% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004) and Houston Exploration (we eliminated this position late in the period), which both operate natural gas and oil properties, were among the positive contributors. We also had a sizable overweighting in the producer durables area, which was beneficial as the sector outperformed. Stock selection here was favorable as well, led by Esco Technologies (1.1% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004), boosted by a positive earnings surprise. The Portfolio's technology and utilities holdings also helped its performance. On the negative side in terms of relative performance, the Portfolio's financial services and consumer discretionary stocks had gains but underperformed their respective components of the Russell 2000(R) Value Index. 1 <Page> GOING FORWARD: MANEUVERING WITHIN AN UNDERFOLLOWED ASSET CLASS Small cap value stocks have had an extended period of outperformance, and the group's overall valuation profile has become less compelling vs. large cap and growth areas of the market. Still, given the relative lack of street coverage, we believe that hidden values are ample on a stock-specific basis for those with the resources to fully scour the field. Our emphasis will remain on companies that we believe are putting accumulated cash to effective uses, whether returning it to shareholders or investing it to take advantage of incremental opportunities.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index. 3 <Page> INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PORTFOLIO'S EXPENSES As an investor of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The table illustrates your Portfolio's expenses in two ways: - ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold. - HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual 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. Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. 4 <Page> EXPENSES AND VALUE OF A $1,000 INVESTMENT FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 <Table> ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/1/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,111.40 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 6.85 HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/1/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,018.65 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 6.55 ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIOS* 1.29% </Table> - ---------- * EXPENSES ARE EQUAL TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO MULTIPLIED BY THE AVERAGE ACCOUNT VALUE OVER THE PERIOD, MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF DAYS IN THE MOST RECENT FISCAL HALF YEAR PERIOD, THEN DIVIDED BY 366. THE "EXPENSES PAID PER $1,000" AND THE "ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIOS" IN THE TABLES ARE BASED ON ACTUAL EXPENSES PAID BY THE PORTFOLIO DURING THE PERIOD, NET OF FEE WAIVERS AND/OR EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS. IF THOSE FEE WAIVERS AND/OR EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS HAD NOT BEEN IN EFFECT, THE PORTFOLIO'S ACTUAL EXPENSES WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Credit Suisse Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and currently offers eight managed investment portfolios of which one, the Small Cap Value Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), is included in this report. The Portfolio is a diversified investment fund that seeks a high level of growth of capital. Shares of the Portfolio are not available directly to individual investors but may be offered only through (a) variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts offered by separate accounts of certain insurance companies and (b) tax-qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio may not be available in connection with a particular contract or plan. The Trust was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a business trust on March 15, 1995. A) SECURITY VALUATION -- The net asset value of the Portfolio is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. The Portfolio's equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Portfolio's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees under procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Portfolio may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Trustees to fair value certain securities. B) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. 15 <Page> C) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Trust's intention to have the Portfolio continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes. E) USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. F) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS -- The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("CSAM"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, pools available cash into either a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Portfolio's custodian, or a money market fund advised by CSAM. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment. G) SECURITIES LENDING -- Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Portfolio in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM and may be invested in a variety of investments, including certain CSAM-advised funds, funds advised by SSB, the Portfolio's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. 16 <Page> The market value of securities on loan to brokers and the value of collateral held by the Portfolio with respect to such loans at December 31, 2004 is as follows: <Table> <Caption> MARKET VALUE OF VALUE OF SECURITIES LOANED COLLATERAL RECEIVED ----------------- ------------------- $ 1,898,454 $ 1,945,238 </Table> Prior to March 17, 2004, Credit Suisse First Boston ("CSFB), an affiliate of CSAM, had been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. The Portfolio earned no income from securities lending through the period ended March 17, 2004. Effective March 17, 2004, SSB has been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. The Portfolio's securities lending arrangement provides that the Portfolio and SSB will share the net income earned from securities lending activities with, the Portfolio receiving 70% and SSB receiving 30% of the earnings from the investment of cash collateral or any other securities lending income in accordance with the provisions of the securities lending agency agreement. The Portfolio may also be entitled to certain minimum amounts of income from its securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned. NOTE 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES CSAM serves as investment adviser for the Portfolio. For its investment advisory services, CSAM is entitled to receive a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, from the Portfolio based on the following fee schedule: <Table> <Caption> AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS ANNUAL RATE ------------------------ ----------- First $100 million 0.875% of average daily net assets Next $100 million 0.750% of average daily net assets Over $200 million 0.500% of average daily net assets </Table> For the year ended December 31, 2004, investment advisory fees earned and voluntarily waived for the Portfolio were $159,765 and $57,472, respectively. CSAM will not recapture from the Portfolio any fees it waived during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities, Inc. ("CSAMSI"), an affiliate of CSAM, and SSB serve as co-administrators to the Portfolio. For its co-administrative services, CSAMSI currently receives a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the 17 <Page> Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2004, co-administrative services fees earned by CSAMSI were $18,259. For its co-administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, based upon the following fee schedule calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio subject to an annual minimum fee. <Table> <Caption> AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS ANNUAL RATE ------------------------ ----------- First $5 billion 0.050% of average daily net assets Next $5 billion 0.035% of average daily net assets Over $10 billion 0.020% of average daily net assets </Table> For the year ended December 31, 2004, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) were $18,886. In addition to serving as the Portfolio's co-administrator, CSAMSI currently serves as distributor of the Portfolio's shares without compensation. Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of CSAM, has been engaged by the Portfolio to provide certain financial printing and fulfillment services. For the year ended December 31, 2004, Merrill was paid $5,302 for its services to the Portfolio. NOTE 3. LINE OF CREDIT The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $75 million committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and SSB as operations agent. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. At December 31, 2004 the Portfolio had no loan outstanding under the Credit Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had borrowings under the Credit Facility as follows: <Table> <Caption> AVERAGE DAILY WEIGHTED AVERAGE MAXIMUM DAILY LOAN BALANCE INTEREST RATE% LOAN OUTSTANDING ------------- ---------------- ---------------- $ 2,401,667 1.526% $ 2,804,000 </Table> 18 <Page> NOTE 4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES For the year ended December 31, 2004, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $13,572,578 and $8,069,357, respectively. NOTE 5. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, $.001 par value per share in two classes of shares: Small Cap Value initial class and Small Cap Value class 2 shares. Transactions in initial class capital shares of the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> FOR THE YEAR ENDED FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 DECEMBER 31, 2003 ------------------ ------------------ Shares sold 621,805 598,591 Shares issued in reinvestment of dividends -- 792 Shares redeemed (320,767) (12,995) -------- ------- Net increase 301,038 586,388 ======== ======= </Table> No class 2 shares were issued or outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2004. On December 31, 2004, there were no shareholders that held 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio. NOTE 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of losses deferred due to wash sales, dividends received from Real Estate Investment Trusts and net operating losses. The tax characteristics of dividends paid during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, by the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> ORDINARY INCOME --------------- 2004 2003 ---- ---- $ -- $ 8,723 </Table> At December 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis for the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> Undistributed net investment income $ 387,356 Undistributed net realized gain 624,043 Unrealized appreciation 5,309,992 ------------ $ 6,321,391 ============ </Table> 19 <Page> At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had no capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains. During the tax year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio utilized $8,457 of the capital loss carryforward. At December 31, 2004, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized appreciation from investments were $23,283,780, $5,388,916, $(78,923) and $5,309,993, respectively. At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio reclassified $25,251 from undistributed net realized gain on investment to accumulated net investment loss, to adjust for current period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatments of net operating losses and dividends received from Real Estate Investment Trusts. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. NOTE 7. CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolio and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote. 20 <Page> CREDIT SUISSE TRUST -- SMALL CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of Credit Suisse Trust and Shareholders of Credit Suisse Trust -- Small Cap Value Portfolio: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Small Cap Value Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a portfolio of the Credit Suisse Trust, at December 31, 2004, 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 years (or periods) presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Ample liquidity conditions as a result of low global interest rates, robust global growth and high investor appetite for higher-return and higher-risk assets drove outperformance versus developed markets at the beginning of the period. In April and May of 2004, however, the asset class surrendered some of its gains, as fears of rising US interest rates and a sharp slowdown in China's economy sparked a wave of profit-taking, particularly within cyclicals and materials stocks which had strongly outperformed. Favorable market conditions returned late in the third quarter as fears of a sharp rise in US inflation and interest rates appeared ungrounded. As US yields began to trend lower, funds returned to higher-yielding assets, including emerging markets. Signs that China's growth slowdown was not going to be as severe as anticipated also lifted heavily sold-off commodity plays. Finally, the sharp decline in the US dollar that commenced at the end of the period was also positive for emerging market currencies, translating into higher US dollar market returns. STRATEGIC REVIEW: TACTICAL ADJUSTMENTS The Portfolio participated in the broad rally in emerging markets, although underperformance early in the period left the Portfolio modestly behind its benchmark for the full year. The key contributor to performance was strong stock selection within South Africa and Eastern Europe -- most specifically, Russia. Performance was hindered by certain holdings in China and India, as well as limited exposure to smaller markets in Latin America and the Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region that registered strong returns. In terms of regional positioning, we remained overweight in the larger markets within Latin America, albeit trimming our positions toward the end of period after substantial market gains. Rising US interest rates and slowing global growth have traditionally been the source of market pressure for Latin America and in particular Brazil, given the region's reliance on external financing. We believe that improved external fundamentals could make economic growth more resistant to global headwinds in this cycle. 1 <Page> Nevertheless, our positioning in both Mexico and Brazil is biased primarily toward companies dependent on domestic demand, such as Brazilian banks and Mexican homebuilders, where we have greater conviction about the earnings outlook. We maintained a roughly neutral position in Asia overall. Within the larger North Asian markets, we favored Taiwan over Korea and China through most of the period. In Taiwan, we were exposed to financials stocks, which benefited from the improvement in domestic spending over the period. By contrast, a moribund consumer sector continued to inhibit the domestic recovery in Korea and the earnings outlook for domestic stocks and banks, although we believe attractive valuations for the market overall remain in place. In China, despite our relatively sanguine view over the prospects for macroeconomic growth, rising cost pressures have eroded the profitability amongst many Chinese corporates, while valuations have not been compelling in our view. Within the smaller markets of Southeast Asia, we also ended the period with overweightings in Malaysia and Thailand, reflecting our more positive outlook on their macro fundamentals. We remained underweighted in India, though we did add to our Indian position late in the period as concerns regarding the growth outlook and reform agenda of the incoming government appeared overblown. We were primarily underweighted in the EMEA region during the period. In Eastern Europe, our primary overweight through much of the year had been in Russia, although we reduced our exposure as the corporate environment deteriorated. We were underweighted in South Africa through the period, due to our bias away from commodity exporters, which continue to be hampered by strength in the country's currency. We maintained an overweight in Turkey, based on positive macroeconomic developments and market expectation of positive news regarding Turkey's application for eventual EU membership. Our exposure to Israel through most of the period was broadly neutral, but with a relatively high bias toward domestic-oriented companies and banks, which we feel continue to have amongst the most compelling valuations in the emerging market bank universe. GOING FORWARD: CLEARER HORIZONS? In the coming year, emerging markets, in our view, will not enjoy the type of strong liquidity and growth drivers which lifted the asset class in 2003 and 2004. Nevertheless, we still maintain a positive view on the asset class, barring any unforeseen geopolitical developments. In our opinion, macroeconomic risks within the emerging world are lower than at any point in recent history, while domestic growth prospects remain vibrant in many of our markets. 2 <Page> Valuations relative to developed markets continue to be attractive in our view, and we are optimistic that fund flows will continue into what has recently been an underowned asset class. While global growth probably looks poised to slow further, we are not expecting a growth collapse. We believe that oil prices will likely remain high but relatively stable, while US interest rates are likely to rise modestly going forward. These factors stand to keep risk thresholds at modest levels in our view, to the benefit of emerging markets, and we will remain focused on stocks we believe have the brightest long-term growth potential.

Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The table illustrates your Portfolio's expenses in two ways: - ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold. - HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual 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. Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. 5 <Page> EXPENSES AND VALUE OF A $1,000 INVESTMENT FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 <Table> ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/1/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,244.40 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 7.90 HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/1/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,018.10 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 7.10 ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIOS* 1.40% </Table> - ---------- * EXPENSES ARE EQUAL TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO MULTIPLIED BY THE AVERAGE ACCOUNT VALUE OVER THE PERIOD, MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF DAYS IN THE MOST RECENT FISCAL HALF YEAR PERIOD, THEN DIVIDED BY 366.

(2) Interest earned on uninvested cash balances may be used to offset portions of the transfer agent expense. These arrangements resulted in a reduction to the Portfolio's net expense ratio by .02% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The Portfolio's net operating expense ratio after reflecting these arrangements was 1.40% for the year ended December 31, 2000. For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001, there was no effect on the net operating expense ratio because of transfer agent credits.

The Portfolio may not be available in connection with a particular contract or plan. The Trust was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a business trust on March 15, 1995. A) SECURITY VALUATION -- The net asset value of the Portfolio is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. The Portfolio's equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Portfolio's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees under procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Portfolio may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Trustees to fair value certain securities. B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS -- The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into 20 <Page> U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Portfolio does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in EQUITY securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. The Portfolio isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in DEBT securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities. C) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). E) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Trust's intention to have the Portfolio continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes. F) USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. G) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS -- The Portfolio, together with other funds/ portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC 21 <Page> ("CSAM"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, pools available cash into either a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Portfolio's custodian, or a money market fund advised by CSAM. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment. H) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS -- The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency. The Portfolio will enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily for hedging purposes. Forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date or an offsetting position is entered into. At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had no open forward foreign currency contracts. I) SECURITIES LENDING -- Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Portfolio in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM and may be invested in a variety of investments, including certain CSAM-advised funds, funds advised by SSB, the Portfolio's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. The market value of securities on loan to brokers and the value of collateral held by the Portfolio with respect to such loans at December 31, 2004 is as follows: <Table> <Caption> MARKET VALUE OF VALUE OF SECURITIES LOANED COLLATERAL RECEIVED ----------------- ------------------- $ 6,024,379 $ 6,197,801 </Table> Prior to March 17, 2004, Credit Suisse First Boston ("CFSB"), an affiliate of CSAM, had been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities 22 <Page> lending agent. The Portfolio earned no income from securities lending through the period ended March 17, 2004. Effective March 17, 2004, SSB has been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. The Portfolio's securities lending arrangement provides that the Portfolio and SSB will share the net income earned from securities lending activities, with the Portfolio receiving 70% and SSB receiving 30% of the earnings from the investment of cash collateral or any other securities lending income in accordance with the provisions of the securities lending agency agreement. The Portfolio may also be entitled to certain minimum amounts of income from its securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned. J) OTHER -- The Portfolio may invest in securities of foreign countries and governments which involve certain risks in addition to those inherent in domestic investments. Such risks generally include, among others, currency risk (fluctuations in currency exchange rates), information risk (key information may be inaccurate or unavailable) and political risk (expropriation, nationalization or the imposition of capital or currency controls or punitive taxes). Other risks of investing in foreign securities include liquidity and valuation risks. The Portfolio's investments in securities of issuers located in less developed countries considered to be "emerging markets" involve risks in addition to those generally applicable to foreign securities. Focusing on emerging (less developed) markets involves higher levels of risk, including increased currency, information, liquidity, market, political and valuation risks. Deficiencies in regulatory oversight, market infrastructure, shareholder protections and company laws could expose the Portfolio to operational and other risks as well. Some countries may have restrictions that could limit the Portfolio's access to attractive investment opportunities. Additionally, emerging markets often face serious economic problems (such as high external debt, inflation and unemployment) that could subject the Portfolio to increased volatility or substantial declines in value. The Portfolio may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests, with respect to its investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Portfolio accrues such taxes when the related income or capital gains are earned. 23 <Page> NOTE 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES CSAM serves as investment adviser for the Portfolio. For its investment advisory services, CSAM is entitled to receive a fee from the Portfolio at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2004, investment advisory fees earned and voluntarily waived for the Portfolio were $1,101,320 and $255,274, respectively. CSAM will not recapture from the Portfolio any fees it waived during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (CSAM U.K.) ("CSAM Ltd. U.K.") and Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (CSAM Australia) ("CSAM Ltd. Australia"), each an affiliate of CSAM, are sub-investment advisers to the Portfolio. CSAM Ltd. U.K. and CSAM Ltd. Australia's sub-investment advisory fees are paid by CSAM out of CSAM's net investment advisory fee and are not paid by the Portfolio. Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities, Inc. ("CSAMSI"), an affiliate of CSAM, and SSB serve as co-administrators to the Portfolio. For its co-administrative services, CSAMSI currently receives a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2004, co-administrative services fees earned by CSAMSI were $88,106. For its co-administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, based upon the following fee schedule calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio subject to an annual minimum fee. <Table> <Caption> AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS ANNUAL RATE ------------------------ ----------- First $5 billion 0.050% of average daily net assets Next $5 billion 0.035% of average daily net assets Over $10 billion 0.020% of average daily net assets </Table> For the year ended December 31, 2004, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) were $60,972. In addition to serving as the Portfolio's co-administrator, CSAMSI currently serves as distributor of the Portfolio's shares without compensation. Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of CSAM, has been engaged by the Portfolio to provide certain financial printing and fulfillment services. For the year ended December 31, 2004, Merrill was paid $11,696 for its services to the Portfolio. 24 <Page> NOTE 3. LINE OF CREDIT The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $75 million committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and SSB as operations agent. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. At December 31, 2004 and during the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had no borrowings under the Credit Facility. NOTE 4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES For the year ended December 31, 2004, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $121,373,223 and $103,035,624, respectively. NOTE 5. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, $.001 par value per share. Transactions in capital shares of the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> FOR THE YEAR ENDED FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 DECEMBER 31, 2003 ------------------ ------------------ Shares sold 4,217,158 6,273,517 Shares issued in reinvestment of dividends 23,459 -- Shares redeemed (2,483,712) (5,226,878) ---------- ---------- Net increase 1,756,905 1,046,639 ========== ========== </Table> On December 31, 2004, the number of shareholders that held 5% or more of the outstanding shares were as follows: <Table> <Caption> NUMBER OF APPROXIMATE PERCENTAGE SHAREHOLDERS OF OUTSTANDING SHARES ------------ ---------------------- 5 92% </Table> Some of the shareholders are omnibus accounts, which hold shares on behalf of individual shareholders. 25 <Page> NOTE 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of foreign currency transactions, losses deferred due to wash sales, post October losses, foreign tax credit adjustments, the mark-to-market of income from Passive Foreign Investment Companies and the recognition of gain from the sale of Passive Foreign Investment Companies. The tax characteristics of dividends paid during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, for the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> ORDINARY INCOME ------------------------ 2004 2003 ---- ---- $ 257,121 $ -- </Table> At December 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis for the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> Undistributed net investment income $ 986,118 Accumulated net realized loss (5,569,803) Unrealized appreciation 25,457,734 Undistributed net investment loss-other (49,623) ------------ $ 20,824,426 ============ </Table> At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows: <Table> <Caption> EXPIRES DECEMBER 31, 2010 ------------------------- $ 5,569,803 </Table> During the tax year ended December 31, 2004 the Portfolio has utilized $11,214,682 of the capital loss carryforward. Under current tax law, certain capital losses realized after October 31 within a taxable year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the tax period ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio elected to defer net losses arising between November 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004 as follows: <Table> <Caption> CURRENCY PFIC -------- ------ $ 43,507 $ 6,116 </Table> As of December 31, 2004, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities 26 <Page> having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized appreciation from investments were $94,925,475, $26,122,357, $(443,494) and $25,678,863, respectively. At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio reclassified $414,887 from accumulated net investment income to accumulated net realized loss from investments, to adjust for current year permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatments of foreign currency transactions, foreign tax credit adjustments, and the sale of Passive Foreign Investment Companies. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications. NOTE 7. CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolio and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote. 27 <Page> CREDIT SUISSE TRUST -- EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of Credit Suisse Trust and Shareholders of Credit Suisse Trust -- Emerging Markets Portfolio: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Emerging Markets Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a portfolio of the Credit Suisse Trust, at December 31, 2004, 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 five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

However, the market quickly encountered headwinds, mostly in the form of domestic and international political uncertainty, worries over rising interest rates and a surge in oil prices. Stocks languished into late October, but ended the year on a bright note when a decisive presidential election, better employment numbers and benign inflation helped ease risk concerns. Value stocks soundly outpaced growth stocks for the 12 months -- and were less volatile as well -- reflecting the outperformance of energy and industrial- type companies, which comprise a larger share of the value universe. Broadly, large cap equities trailed small caps, a trend often (but not always) seen in the early stages of economic recovery. STRATEGIC REVIEW: FOCUS ON COMPANY FUNDAMENTALS The Portfolio had a gain but underperformed its benchmark. Good showings from the Portfolio's financial services, industrial and consumer staples holdings were countered by underperformance in the technology and consumer discretionary sectors. Another factor that hindered the Portfolio's relative performance was its underweighting in utilities, which we did not find compelling on a stock-specific basis. However, utilities had good performance for the year, rallying as investors searched for yield in a low interest-rate environment. With respect to recent noteworthy portfolio activity, our purchases included Beckman Coulter (1.1% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004), a medical instruments and testing supply company that has been gaining market share due to perceived technical advantages of its products. In the materials area we added Alcoa (0.9% of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2004), which we think could benefit from improved aluminum pricing combined with increased demand, resulting in larger operation margins. On the sales side, one position we eliminated late in the period was JC Penney, based on our concerns over management transition risk in the wake of good stock performance. 1 <Page> OUTLOOK: A RETURN TO NORMALCY? We feel that diminished monetary and fiscal stimuli could challenge the US economy and equity market in 2005, should policymakers conclude that an economy on a growth path requires no extra boost to sustain that growth. Factors that favor at least moderate economic growth are a relatively low core inflation rate, a cheap US dollar and low intermediate- and long-term interest rates. Although consumer demand may be somewhat less robust, we think it is likely that investment demand should be strong. Given the recent history of terrorist attacks, recession and war, a return to a focus on such "normal" market concerns would seem welcome. In this environment, we believe that careful stock selection based on company fundamentals should create a number of compelling longer-term investment opportunities.

PAST PERFORMANCE CANNOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. THE CURRENT PERFORMANCE OF THE PORTFOLIO MAY BE LOWER OR HIGHER THAN THE FIGURES SHOWN. RETURNS AND SHARE PRICE WILL FLUCTUATE, AND REDEMPTION VALUE MAY BE LESS THAN ORIGINAL COST. THE PERFORMANCE RESULTS DO NOT REFLECT THE DEDUCTION OF TAXES THAT A SHAREHOLDER WOULD PAY ON PORTFOLIO DISTRIBUTIONS OR THE REDEMPTION OF PORTFOLIO SHARES.

ACCORDINGLY, THE PROSPECTUS OF THE SPONSORING PARTICIPATING INSURANCE COMPANY SEPARATE ACCOUNT OR PLAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER INFORMATIONAL MATERIALS SUPPLIED BY PLAN SPONSORS SHOULD BE CAREFULLY REVIEWED FOR INFORMATION ON RELEVANT CHARGES AND EXPENSES. EXCLUDING THESE CHARGES AND EXPENSES FROM QUOTATIONS OF PERFORMANCE HAS THE EFFECT OF INCREASING THE PERFORMANCE QUOTED, AND THE EFFECT OF THESE CHARGES SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WHEN COMPARING PERFORMANCE TO THAT OF OTHER MUTUAL FUNDS.

Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The table illustrates your Portfolio's expenses in two ways: - ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Portfolio using the Portfolio's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold. - HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN. This helps you to compare your Portfolio's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical portfolio return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual 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. Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. 4 <Page> EXPENSES AND VALUE OF A $1,000 INVESTMENT FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 <Table> ACTUAL PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/1/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,066.80 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 6.03 HYPOTHETICAL 5% PORTFOLIO RETURN Beginning Account Value 7/1/04 $ 1,000.00 Ending Account Value 12/31/04 $ 1,019.30 Expenses Paid per $1,000* $ 5.89 ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIOS* 1.16% </Table> - ---------- * EXPENSES ARE EQUAL TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO MULTIPLIED BY THE AVERAGE ACCOUNT VALUE OVER THE PERIOD, MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF DAYS IN THE MOST RECENT FISCAL HALF YEAR PERIOD, THEN DIVIDED BY 366. THE "EXPENSES PAID PER $1,000" AND THE "ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIOS" IN THE TABLES ARE BASED ON ACTUAL EXPENSES PAID BY THE PORTFOLIO DURING THE PERIOD, NET OF FEE WAIVERS AND/OR EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS. IF THOSE FEE WAIVERS AND/OR EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS HAD NOT BEEN IN EFFECT, THE PORTFOLIO'S ACTUAL EXPENSES WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER.

See Accompanying Notes to Financial Statements. 13 <Page> CREDIT SUISSE TRUST -- BLUE CHIP PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2004 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Credit Suisse Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and currently offers eight managed investment portfolios of which one, the Blue Chip Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), is included in this report. The Portfolio is a diversified investment fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation. Shares of the Portfolio are not available directly to individual investors but may be offered only through (a) variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts offered by separate accounts of certain insurance companies and (b) tax-qualified pension and retirement plans. The Portfolio may not be available in connection with a particular contract or plan. The Trust was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a business trust on March 15, 1995. A) SECURITY VALUATION -- The net asset value of the Portfolio is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. The Portfolio's equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Portfolio's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees under procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Portfolio may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Trustees to fair value certain securities. B) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. 14 <Page> C) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Trust's intention to have the Portfolio continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes. E) USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from these estimates. F) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS -- The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("CSAM"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, pools available cash into either a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Portfolio's custodian, or a money market fund advised by CSAM. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment. G) SECURITIES LENDING -- Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Portfolio in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM and may be invested in a variety of investments, including certain CSAM-advised funds, funds advised by SSB, the Portfolio's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject 15 <Page> to legal proceedings. The Portfolio had no securities out on loan at December 31, 2004. Prior to March 17, 2004, Credit Suisse First Boston ("CSFB"), an affiliate of CSAM, had been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. The Portfolio earned no income from securities lending through the period ended March 17, 2004. Effective March 17, 2004, SSB has been engaged by the Portfolio to act as the Portfolio's securities lending agent. The Portfolio's securities lending arrangement provides that the Portfolio and SSB will share the net income earned from the securities lending activities, with the Portfolio receiving 70% and SSB receiving 30% of the earnings from the investment of cash collateral or any other securities lending income in accordance with the provisions of the securities lending agency agreement. The Portfolio may also be entitled to certain minimum amounts of income from its securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned. NOTE 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES CSAM serves as investment adviser for the Portfolio. For its investment advisory services, CSAM is entitled to receive a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, from the Portfolio based on the following fee schedule: <Table> <Caption> AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS ANNUAL RATE ------------------------ --------------------------------- First $100 million 0.75% of average daily net assets Over $100 million 0.50% of average daily net assets </Table> For the year ended December 31, 2004, investment advisory fees earned and voluntarily waived for the Portfolio were $105,106 and $69,428, respectively. CSAM will not recapture from the Portfolio any fees it waived during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities, Inc. ("CSAMSI"), an affiliate of CSAM, and SSB serve as co-administrators to the Portfolio.

LINE OF CREDIT The Portfolio, together with other funds/portfolios advised by CSAM (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $75 million committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and SSB as operations agent. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. At December 31, 2004, there were no loans outstanding for the Portfolio under the Credit Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had borrowings under the Credit Facility as follows: <Table> <Caption> AVERAGE DAILY WEIGHTED AVERAGE MAXIMUM DAILY LOAN BALANCE INTEREST RATE LOAN OUTSTANDING ------------- ---------------- ---------------- $ 660,506 1.581% $ 854,000 </Table> NOTE 4. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES For the year ended December 31, 2004, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $6,629,753 and $10,069,261, respectively. 17 <Page> NOTE 5.

NOTE 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of post-October losses, and wash sales. The tax characteristics of dividends paid during the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 for the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> <Caption> ORDINARY INCOME ------------------------- 2004 2003 --------- --------- $ 96,797 $ 52,550 </Table> At December 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis for the Portfolio were as follows: <Table> Undistributed net investment income $ 96,775 Accumulated net realized loss (3,901,194) Unrealized appreciation 1,671,671 Undistributed Capital -- other (16,902) ------------- $ (2,149,650) ============= </Table> 18 <Page> NOTE 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES At December 31, 2004, the Portfolio had capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows: <Table> <Caption> EXPIRES DECEMBER 31, ----------------------------- 2010 2011 ---------- ------------ $ 427,772 $ 3,473,422 </Table> During the tax year ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio utilized $467,945 of the capital loss carryforward. Under current tax law, certain capital losses realized after October 31 within a taxable year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the tax period ended December 31, 2004, the Portfolio elected to defer net losses of $16,902 arising between November 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004 as follows: At December 31, 2004, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized appreciation from investments were $11,726,186, $1,934,368, $(262,697) and $1,671,671, respectively. NOTE 7. CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolio and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote. 19 <Page> CREDIT SUISSE TRUST -- BLUE CHIP PORTFOLIO REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Trustees of Credit Suisse Trust and Shareholders of Credit Suisse Trust -- Blue Chip Portfolio: In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Blue Chip Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a portfolio of the Credit Suisse Trust, at December 31, 2004, 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 years (or periods) presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
