Annual Report
December 31, 2001
[OBJECT OMITTED]
January 16, 2002
Dear Shareholder:
The past six months have proven to be some of the most challenging times in
market history for investors. As the economy began to weaken heading into the
month of September, markets weakened as well. Then, on September 11, 2001, the
market conditions were exacerbated by the tragic terrorist attacks that
astonished our nation. Now, with the triple threat of a prolonged military
conflict abroad, bio-terrorism at home and negative news flows, investors and
financial professionals alike are concerned about the economy and the market.
Ironically the end of September served to provide a temporary bottom in the
markets. The markets have rebounded smartly from those lows. Fixed income and
money market funds have been a safer place for many investors during this
volatile investment period. Although the Federal Reserve Board has continued to
lower interest rates creating higher prices and yield reductions, the Cash
Reserves Money Market Fund has performed well.
Looking toward the future, we plan to continue to manage the fund in accordance
with its objective in order to meet your expectations. The fund is sub-advised
by AMR, whose wealth of experience reaches the 16-year mark this year.
Thank you for entrusting us with your assets and supporting the Orbitex Group of
Funds. We look forward to serving your investment needs for many years to come.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call 1-888-ORBITEX.
Sincerely,
/s/ RICK STIERWALT

is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

ORBITEX CASH RESERVES FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
The Orbitex Cash Reserves Fund (the "Fund") is a series of the Orbitex Group of
Funds (the "Trust"), a Trust organized in the State of Delaware in December
1996. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as an open-end investment company. Currently, the Fund consists of four
classes of shares, two of which are active: Institutional Shares and Investor
Shares. The Trust Instrument of the Trust authorizes the Fund to issue an
unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest without par value. The Fund
currently seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing all of its
investable assets in AMR Investment Services Money Market Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"), a registered open-end management investment company with
substantially the same investment objectives and policies as the Fund. The
Portfolio is managed by AMR Investment Services, Inc. ("AMR") a wholly owned
subsidiary of AMR Corporation. The Fund may withdraw its investments from the
Portfolio at any time if the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") determines
that it is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to do so. The
Fund accounts for its investments in the Portfolio as partnership investments,
commonly referred to as a master-feeder arrangement.
The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the
Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the schedule of
investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the Fund's financial statements. At December 31, 2001, the
percentage of the Portfolio owned by the Fund was less than 1%.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of increase and decrease in net assets from operations
during the fiscal periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following represent significant accounting policies of the Fund:
SECURITY VALUATION - The Fund records its investment in the Portfolio at value.
Valuation of securities held in the Portfolio are discussed in the Portfolio's
Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES - The Fund records daily its pro rata share of
the Portfolio's income, expenses and realized gain and loss. In addition, the
Fund accrues its own expenses. The expenses of the Fund that are directly
identifiable to a specific class are charged to that class. Expenses that are
not readily identifiable to a specific class are allocated based on net assets
of each class.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - Distributions to shareholders of net investment
income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net capital gain, if any, is
distributed to shareholders at least annually. Distributions are based on
amounts calculated in accordance with applicable federal income tax regulations.
FEDERAL TAXES - The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment
company and distribute all of its taxable income. In addition, by distributing
in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital
gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund will not be subject to a
federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is
required.
REALIZED GAIN AND LOSS - Security transactions are recorded on trade date.
Realized gain and loss on investments sold are recorded on the basis of
identified cost.

NOTE 3. ADVISORY, SERVICING FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
ADVISORY FEES
The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with Orbitex
Management, Inc. (the "Advisor"). As long as the Fund invests all of its
investable assets in the Portfolio, investment decisions will be made by AMR.
For its services, the Portfolio pays AMR a fee accrued and paid daily at an
annualized rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets. In the event the Fund
was to withdraw its investments from the Portfolio, the Advisor would act as
investment advisor to the Fund and the Advisor would be entitled to a fee based
on the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Advisor has agreed to reimburse certain operating expenses to the extent
necessary to limit total operating expenses to 0.24% and 0.60% of the average
daily net assets of Institutional Shares and Investor Shares, respectively.
Expenses reimbursed by the Advisor for the year ended December 31, 2001 amounted
to $38,265.
ADMINISTRATION, FUND ACCOUNTING AND TRANSFER AGENT FEES
Orbitex Fund Services, Inc ("OFS"), formerly American Data Services, Inc., an
affiliate of the Advisor, serves as the administrator of the Fund. For providing
administration services to the Fund, OFS receives a fee accrued daily and
payable monthly, at the annualized rate of 0.02% of the Fund's average daily net
assets.
OFS also acts as the fund accounting agent and transfer agent of the Fund. For
providing fund accounting services, the Fund pays OFS a fixed monthly fee for
average net assets less than $25 million and at an annualized rate of 0.02%
thereafter, plus out-of-pocket expenses. For providing transfer agent services,
the Fund pays OFS a minimum monthly or per account fee plus certain transaction
fees which are allocated by shareholder accounts.
Expenses waived by OFS for the year ended December 31, 2001 amounted to $55,375.
CUSTODIAN
Circle Trust Company ("CTC"), an affiliate of the Adviser, is the Fund's
custodian.
TRUSTEES FEES
The Fund pays no compensation to its Trustees who are employees of the Advisor.
Trustees who are not Advisor employees receive a fee of $2,500 for each regular
meeting of the Board that the Trustee attends. The Trust also reimburses each
such Trustee for travel and other expenses incurred in attending meetings of the
Board.
DISTRIBUTION FEES
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan and Agreement pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The distributor of the Fund is Orbitex
Funds Distributor, Inc. ("OFD"), an affiliate of the Advisor. Under the Plan and
Agreement, the Fund compensates OFD for distributing the Fund's Investor class
shares. The distribution fee is payable at the annualized rate of 0.25% of the
average net assets of the Investor class shares. No distribution fees are paid
to OFD as distributor for the Institutional class shares.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Shareholders of
Orbitex Cash Reserves Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities 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
Orbitex Cash Reserves Fund (the "Fund"; a series of the Orbitex Group of Funds)
at December 31, 2001, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and
the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then
ended and for the period from June 7, 2000 (commencement of operations) through
December 31, 2000, 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 Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2001 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1-ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AMR Investment Services Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no load, open-end management investment
company which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York
pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated as of June 27, 1995 and amended on
August 11, 1995. Beneficial interests in the Trust are divided into separate
series, each having distinct investment objectives and policies. These financial
statements relate to the AMR Investment Services Money Market Portfolio, (the
"Portfolio"). The assets of the Portfolio belong only to that Portfolio, and the
liabilities of the Portfolio are borne solely by that Portfolio and no other.
AMR Investment Services, Inc. (the "Manager") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, Inc. ("American"), and
was organized in 1986 to provide business management, advisory, administrative
and asset management consulting services.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Portfolio.
SECURITY VALUATION
Securities of the Portfolio are valued using the amortized cost method. In the
event that a deviation of 1/2 of 1% or more exists between the $1.00 per share
price of the Portfolio, calculated at amortized cost, and the price per share
calculated by reference to market quotations, or if there is any other deviation
which the Board believes would result in a material dilution to shareholders or
purchasers, the Board will promptly consider the appropriate action which should
be initiated.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date of the security purchase or
sale. Interest income is earned from settlement date, recorded on the accrual
basis, and adjusted, if necessary, for amortization of premiums or accretion of
discounts on investment grade short-term securities and zero coupon instruments.
For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized gains and losses are
determined on the basis of specific lot identification.
FEDERAL INCOME AND EXCISE TAXES
The Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be taxed on its share of the
Portfolio's ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that the
Portfolio's assets will be managed in such a way that an investor in the
Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of sub-chapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Under the terms of a repurchase agreement, securities are acquired by a
Portfolio from a securities dealer or a bank which are subject to resale at a
later date. Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury or
Government agency securities. All collateral is held at the Portfolio's
custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company, or at subcustodian banks.
The collateral is monitored daily by the Portfolio so that the collateral's
market value exceeds the carrying value of the repurchase agreement.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimated
NOTE 2-TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
The Trust and the Manager are parties to a Management Agreement which obligates
the Manager to provide or oversee the provision of all administrative,
investment advisory and portfolio management services. The Manager serves as the
sole investment adviser to the Portfolio. As compensation for performing the
duties required under the Management Agreement, the Manager receives from the
Portfolio .10% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio.
OTHER
Certain officers or trustees of the Trust are also current or former officers or
employees of the Manager or American. The Trust makes no direct payments to its
officers. Unaffiliated trustees and their spouses are provided free unlimited
air transportation on American. However, the Trust compensates each trustee with
payments in an amount equal to the trustee's income tax on the value of this
free airline travel. One trustee, as a retiree of American, already receives
flight benefits. This trustee receives an annual retainer of $20,000 plus $1,250
for each Board meeting attended. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the cost
of air transportation was not material to the Portfolio.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Shareholders and Board of Trustees
AMR Investment Services Money Market Portfolio
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the AMR
Investment Services Money Market Portfolio, ("the Portfolio") including the
schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2001, and the related statement of
operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights
for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments
owned as of December 31, 2001, by correspondence with the custodian or other
audit procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
AMR Investment Services Money Market Portfolio at December 31, 2001, the results
of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights
for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

Semi-Annual Report

ORBITEX
Dear Shareholder:
The past six months proved very volatile for investors and fund managers. The
market and the economy have suffered severe setbacks due not only to the
terrorist attacks in September, but also to the uncertainty of various global
conflicts, a trough in the current earnings cycle and a crisis of confidence in
corporate America caused by the Enron debacle and other events of the past year.
Although the market remains volatile, fundamentals appear to be slowly turning,
and our Investment Committee feels that we are setting up for a superb time to
be investing in the market for the long-term. Fixed income and money market
funds have been a safer place for many investors during this volatile investment
period. While interest rates have remained flat for the last six months,
creating higher prices and yield reductions, the Cash Reserves Money Market Fund
has performed well.
Looking toward the future, we plan to continue to manage the fund in accordance
with its objective in order to meet your expectations. The fund is sub-advised
by AMR, whose wealth of experience reaches the 16-year mark this year. Thank you
for entrusting us with your assets and supporting The Orbitex Group of Funds. We
look forward to serving your investment needs for many years to come. If you
have any questions or concerns, please call 1-888-ORBITEX. Sincerely,
/s/ Rick Stierwalt

President-Orbitex Group of Funds
An investment in a money market fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although
the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it
is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

ORBITEX CASH RESERVES FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2002 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
The Orbitex Cash Reserves Fund (the "Fund") is a series of the Orbitex Group of
Funds (the "Trust"), a Trust organized in the State of Delaware in December
1996. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as an open-end investment company. Currently, the Fund consists of four
classes of shares, two of which are active: Institutional Shares and Investor
Shares. The Trust Instrument of the Trust authorizes the Fund to issue an
unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest without par value. The Fund
currently seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing all of its
investable assets in AMR Investment Services Money Market Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"), a registered open-end management investment company with
substantially the same investment objectives and policies as the Fund. The
Portfolio is managed by AMR Investment Services, Inc. ("AMR") a wholly owned
subsidiary of AMR Corporation. The Fund may withdraw its investments from the
Portfolio at any time if the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") determines
that it is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to do so. The
Fund accounts for its investments in the Portfolio as partnership investments,
commonly referred to as a master-feeder arrangement.
The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the
Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the schedule of
investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the Fund's financial statements. At June 30, 2002 the
percentage of the Portfolio owned by the Fund was less than 1%.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of increase and decrease in net assets from operations
during the fiscal periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following represent significant accounting policies of the Fund:
SECURITY VALUATION - The Fund records its investment in the Portfolio at value.
Valuation of securities held in the Portfolio are discussed in the Portfolio's
Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES - The Fund records daily its pro rata share of
the Portfolio's income, expenses and realized gain and loss. In addition, the
Fund accrues its own expenses. The expenses of the Fund that are directly
identifiable to a specific class are charged to that class. Expenses that are
not readily identifiable to a specific class are allocated based on net assets
of each class.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - Distributions to shareholders of net investment
income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net capital gain, if any, is
distributed to shareholders at least annually. Distributions are based on
amounts calculated in accordance with applicable federal income tax regulations.
FEDERAL TAXES - The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment
company and distribute all of its taxable income. In addition, by distributing
in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital
gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund will not be subject to a
federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is
required.
REALIZED GAIN AND LOSS - Security transactions are recorded on trade date.
Realized gain and loss on investments sold are recorded on the basis of
identified cost.

NOTE 3. ADVISORY, SERVICING FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
ADVISORY FEES
The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with Orbitex
Management, Inc. (the "Advisor"). As long as the Fund invests all of its
investable assets in the Portfolio, investment decisions will be made by AMR.
For its services, the Portfolio pays AMR a fee accrued and paid daily at an
annualized rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets. In the event the Fund
was to withdraw its investments from the Portfolio, the Advisor would act as
investment advisor to the Fund and the Advisor would be entitled to a fee based
on the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Advisor has agreed to reimburse certain operating expenses to the extent
necessary to limit total operating expenses to 0.24% and 0.60% of the average
daily net assets of Institutional Shares and Investor Shares, respectively.
Expenses reimbursed by the Advisor for the six months ended June 30, 2002
amounted to $39,091.
ADMINISTRATION, FUND ACCOUNTING AND TRANSFER AGENT FEES
Orbitex Fund Services, Inc ("OFS"), formerly American Data Services, Inc., an
affiliate of the Advisor, serves as the administrator of the Fund. For providing
administration services to the Fund, OFS receives a fee accrued daily and
payable monthly, at the annualized rate of 0.02% of the Fund's average daily net
assets.
OFS also acts as the fund accounting agent and transfer agent of the Fund. For
providing fund accounting services, the Fund pays OFS a fixed monthly fee for
average net assets less than $25 million and at an annualized rate of 0.02%
thereafter, plus out-of-pocket expenses. For providing transfer agent services,
the Fund pays OFS a minimum monthly or per account fee plus certain transaction
fees which are allocated by shareholder accounts.
CUSTODIAN
The Bank of New York is the Fund's custodian.
TRUSTEES FEES
The Fund pays no compensation to its Trustees who are employees of the Advisor.
Trustees who are not Advisor employees receive a fee of $2,500 for each regular
meeting of the Board that the Trustee attends. The Trust also reimburses each
such Trustee for travel and other expenses incurred in attending meetings of the
Board.
DISTRIBUTION FEES
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan and Agreement pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The distributor of the Fund is Orbitex
Funds Distributor, Inc. ("OFD"), an affiliate of the Advisor. Under the Plan and
Agreement, the Fund compensates OFD for distributing the Fund's Investor class
shares. The distribution fee is payable at the annualized rate of 0.25% of the
average net assets of the Investor class shares. No distribution fees are paid
to OFD as distributor for the Institutional class shares.

AMR INVESTMENT SERVICES TRUST MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2002 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1-ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AMR Investment Services Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no load, open-end management investment
company which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York
pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated as of June 27, 1995 and amended on
August 11, 1995. Beneficial interests in the Trust are divided into separate
series, each having distinct investment objectives and policies. These financial
statements relate to the AMR Investment Services Money Market Portfolio, (the
"Portfolio"). The assets of the Portfolio belong only to that Portfolio, and the
liabilities of the Portfolio are borne solely by that Portfolio and no other.
AMR Investment Services, Inc. (the "Manager") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, Inc. ("American"), and
was organized in 1986 to provide business management, advisory, administrative
and asset management consulting services.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Portfolio.
SECURITY VALUATION
Securities of the Portfolio are valued using the amortized cost method. In the
event that a deviation of 1/2 of 1% or more exists between the $1.00 per share
price of the Portfolio, calculated at amortized cost, and the price per share
calculated by reference to market quotations, or if there is any other deviation
which the Board believes would result in a material dilution to shareholders or
purchasers, the Board will promptly consider the appropriate action which should
be initiated.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date of the security purchase or
sale. Interest income is earned from settlement date, recorded on the accrual
basis, and adjusted, if necessary, for amortization of premiums or accretion of
discounts on investment grade short-term securities and zero coupon instruments.
For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized gains and losses are
determined on the basis of specific lot identification.
FEDERAL INCOME AND EXCISE TAXES
The Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be taxed on its share of the
Portfolio's ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that the
Portfolio's assets will be managed in such a way that an investor in the
Portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of sub-chapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Under the terms of a repurchase agreement, securities are acquired by a
Portfolio from a securities dealer or a bank which are subject to resale at a
later date. Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury or
Government agency securities. All collateral is held at the Portfolio's
custodian bank, State Street Bank and Trust Company, or at subcustodian banks.
The collateral is monitored daily by the Portfolio so that the collateral's
market value exceeds the carrying value of the repurchase agreement.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimated
NOTE 2-TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
The Trust and the Manager are parties to a Management Agreement which obligates
the Manager to provide or oversee the provision of all administrative,
investment advisory and portfolio management services. The Manager serves as the
sole investment adviser to the Portfolio. As compensation for performing the
duties required under the Management Agreement, the Manager receives from the
Portfolio .10% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio.
OTHER
Certain officers or trustees of the Trust are also current or former officers or
employees of the Manager or American. The Trust makes no direct payments to its
officers. Unaffiliated trustees and their spouses are provided free unlimited
air transportation on American. However, the Trust compensates each trustee with
payments in an amount equal to the trustee's income tax on the value of this
free airline travel. One trustee, as a retiree of American, already receives
flight benefits. This trustee receives an annual retainer of $45,000 plus $1,250
for each Board meeting attended. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the
cost of air transportation was not material to the Portfolio.
