(7) As disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements, the Fund has adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide of Investment Companies and began accreting discount and amortizing premium on debt securities. The per share affect of this change for the period ended September 30, 2002 on investment income and realized and unrealized gain and losses was approximately $0.01 per share for all classes of shares. The effect of this change was to decrease the ratio of net investment income to average net assets by 0.05% for all classes of shares. Per share data and ratios for periods prior to September 30, 2002 have not been restated to reflect this change in accounting policy.

Organization SunAmerica Equity Funds is registered under the Investment Company Act 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act") as an open-end diversified management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust" or "Equity Funds") on June 16, 1986. It currently consists of seven different investment funds (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). Each Fund is a separate series of the Trust with a distinct investment objective and/or strategy. Each Fund is advised and/or managed by AIG SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. (the "Adviser" or "SAAMCo"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. An investor may invest in one or more of the following Funds: SunAmerica Blue Chip Growth Fund ("Blue Chip Growth Fund"), SunAmerica Growth Opportunities Fund ("Growth Opportunities Fund"), SunAmerica New Century Fund ("New Century Fund"), SunAmerica Growth and Income Fund ("Growth and Income Fund"), SunAmerica Balanced Assets Fund ("Balanced Assets Fund"), Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio ("Focused Dividend Strategy") (formerly "Dogs" of Wall Street Fund) and SunAmerica International Equity Fund ("International Equity Fund"). The Funds are considered to be separate entities for financial and tax reporting purposes. The investment objective for each of the Funds is as follows: Blue Chip Growth Fund seeks capital appreciation, by primarily investing in equity securities of Blue Chip companies that demonstrate the potential for capital appreciation, issued by large-cap companies. At least 80% of the Fund's net assets plus any borrowing for investment purposes will be invested in such securities. Growth Opportunities Fund seeks capital appreciation, by primarily investing in equity securities that demonstrate the potential for capital appreciation, issued generally by mid-cap companies. New Century Fund seeks capital appreciation, by investing in equity securities that demonstrate the potential for capital appreciation, without regard to market capitalization. Growth and Income Fund seeks capital appreciation and current income, by investing in equity securities issued by companies of any size, that pay dividends, demonstrate the potential for capital appreciation and/or are believed to be undervalued in the market. Balanced Assets Fund seeks capital appreciation and conservation of principal, through active trading partly in equity securities that demonstrate the potential for capital appreciation issued by companies with market capitalization of over $1.5 billion, and partly in high-quality bonds. Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio (formerly "Dogs" of Wall Street Fund) seeks high total return (including capital appreciation and current income), by employing a "buy and hold" strategy with thirty high dividend yielding equity securities selected annually from the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the broader market. International Equity Fund seeks capital appreciation, by investing a majority of its total assets in foreign equity securities and other securities with equity characteristics of non-U.S. issuers located in at least three countries other than the U.S. and selected without regard to market capitalization. At least 80% of the Fund's net assets plus any borrowing for investment purposes will be invested in such securities. Each Fund offers multiple classes of shares. The classes within each Fund are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The cost structure for each class is as follows: Class A shares are offered at net asset value per share plus an initial sales charge. Additionally, any purchases of Class A shares in excess of $1,000,000 will be purchased at net asset value but will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge on redemptions made within two years of purchase. 30 SunAmerica Equity Funds NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- September 30, 2003 -- (continued) Class B shares are offered without an initial sales charge, although a declining contingent sales charge may be imposed on redemptions made within six years of purchase. Class B shares of each Fund convert automatically to Class A shares on the first business day of the month following the eighth anniversary of the issuance of such Class B shares and at such time will be subject to the lower distribution fee applicable to Class A shares. Class II shares are offered at net asset value per share plus an initial sales charge and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge on redemptions made within 18 months of purchase. Class I, Class X and Class Z shares are offered at net asset value per share. These classes are offered exclusively to participants in certain employee benefit plans and other programs. As of August 1, 2003, Class Z shares of the New Century Fund and the Growth and Income Fund are no longer being offered for sale. Each class of shares bears the same voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and conditions. Class A, Class B and Class II shares each make distribution and account maintenance and service fee payments under the distribution plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), except that Class B and Class II shares are subject to higher distribution fee rates. There are no distribution payments applicable to Class I, Class Z and Class X. Indemnifications: Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote. Note 2. Fund Mergers Pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by shareholders of the North American Funds ("NA Funds") on November 7, 2001, all the assets and liabilities of the determined NA Funds were transferred in a tax-free exchange to a determined SunAmerica Mutual Fund ("SA Funds"). The details of the reorganization transactions, which were consummated on November 16, 2001, are set forth below. The Balanced Assets Fund, the Blue Chip Growth Fund, the Growth Opportunities Fund, and Growth and Income Fund, acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the North American Balanced Fund ("NA Balanced Fund"), the North American Large Cap Growth Fund ("NA Large Cap Growth Fund"), the North American Mid Cap Growth Fund ("NA Mid Cap Growth Fund") and the North American Growth & Income Fund ("NA Growth & Income Fund"), respectively. In conjunction with the reorganizations, the SA Funds are the surviving entities. The SunAmerica Style Select Series, Inc. International Equity Portfolio, ("SA International Equity Portfolio") was reorganized into the SunAmerica International Equity Fund ("International Equity Fund"), a newly created portfolio of the SunAmerica Equity Funds. The International Equity Fund acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the North American Global Equity Fund ("NA Global Equity Fund"), the North American International Equity 31 SunAmerica Equity Funds NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- September 30, 2003 -- (continued) Fund ("NA International Equity Fund") and the North American International Small Cap Fund ("NA International Small Cap Fund"). In conjunction with the reorganization, the SA International Equity Portfolio is the surviving entity. However, based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, from a financial reporting standpoint, the SunAmerica Style Select Series, Inc. International Equity Portfolio is the surviving entity in this reorganization. All shares of the NA Funds Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I were exchanged, tax free, for shares of the surviving SA Funds Class A, Class B, Class II and Class I shares, respectively. Net assets and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of the merger date were as follows: Net assets of SA Balanced Assets Fund prior to merger............................. $371,042,518 Net assets of NA Balanced Fund prior to merger................................... $ 45,882,834 ------------ Aggregate net assets of SA Balanced Assets Fund following the acquisition........ $416,925,352 ------------ Unrealized depreciation in NA Balanced Fund...................................... $ (1,150,770) Net assets of SA Blue Chip Growth Fund prior to merger........................... $140,372,588 Net assets of NA Large Cap Growth Fund prior to merger........................... $ 49,623,653 ------------ Aggregate net assets of SA Blue Chip Growth Fund following the acquisition....... $189,996,241 ------------ Unrealized depreciation in NA Large Cap Growth Fund.............................. $ (664,756) Net assets of SA Growth Opportunities Fund prior to merger....................... $209,788,850 Net assets of NA Mid Cap Growth Fund prior to merger............................. $ 36,916,105 ------------ Aggregate net assets of SA Growth Opportunities Fund following the acquisition... $246,704,955 ------------ Unrealized depreciation in NA Mid Cap Growth Fund................................ $(12,626,899) Net assets of SA Growth and Income Fund prior to merger.......................... $220,505,849 Net assets of NA Growth & Income Fund prior to merger............................ $211,587,665 ------------ Aggregate net assets of SA Growth and Income Fund following the acquisition...... $432,093,514 ------------ Unrealized appreciation in NA Growth & Income Fund............................... $ 32,484,119 Net assets of SA International Equity Portfolio prior to merger.................. $ 70,062,710 Net assets of NA Global Equity Fund prior to merger.............................. $ 16,132,268 Net assets of NA International Equity Fund prior to merger....................... $ 39,407,291 Net assets of NA International Small Cap Fund prior to merger.................... $ 12,430,366 ------------ Aggregate net assets of International Equity Fund following the acquisition...... $138,032,635 ------------ Unrealized depreciation in NA Global Equity Fund................................. $ (648,941) Unrealized depreciation in NA International Equity Fund.......................... $ (9,929,038) Unrealized appreciation in NA International Small Cap Fund....................... $ 690,813 32 SunAmerica Equity Funds NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- September 30, 2003 -- (continued) Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements: Security Valuations: Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by the Adviser to be over-the-counter, are valued at the quoted bid price provided by principal market makers. Securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") or other national securities exchanges are valued on the basis of the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded. If there is no sale on that day, then securities are valued at the closing bid price on the NYSE or other primary exchange for that day. However, if the last sale price on the NYSE is different than the last sale price on any other exchange, the NYSE price is used. Securities listed on the NASDAQ exchange are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). Generally, the NOCP will be the last sale price unless the reported trade for the securities is outside the range of the bid/ask price. In such cases, the NOCP will be normalized to the nearer of the bid or ask price. For listed securities having no sales reported and for unlisted securities, such securities will be valued based upon the last reported bid price. Securities that are traded on foreign exchanges are ordinarily valued at the last quoted sales price available before the time when the assets are valued. If a security's price is available from more than one foreign exchange, a Fund uses the exchange that is the primary market for the security. Futures contracts and options traded on national securities exchanges are valued as of the close of the exchange on which they are traded. The Funds may make use of a pricing service in the determination of their net asset values. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or if a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of the securities, then these securities may be fair valued as determined pursuant to procedures adopted in good faith under the direction of the Trust's Trustees. Short-term investments which mature in less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, if their original maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if their original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. Repurchase Agreements: Pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Funds are permitted to participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other affiliated investment companies. The Funds, along with other affiliated registered investment companies, transfer uninvested cash balances into a single joint account, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury or federal agency obligations. The Funds' custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark to market basis to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least 102% of the repurchase price. 33 SunAmerica Equity Funds NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- September 30, 2003 -- (continued) In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, a Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. As of September 30, 2003, Blue Chip Growth Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund, Growth and Income Fund, Balanced Assets Fund and Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio had a 1.8%, 0.6%, 1.1%, 0.4%, and 1.7% undivided interest, respectively, which represented $1,941,000, $662,000, $1,146,000, $479,000 and $1,873,000 respectively, in principal amount in a joint repurchase agreement with State Street Bank & Trust Co. As of such date, the repurchase agreement in the joint account and the collateral therefore were as follows: State Street Bank & Trust Co. Repurchase Agreement 0.85% dated 9/30/03, in the principal amount of $108,359,000, repurchase price $108,361,558 due 10/01/03, collateralized by the following: Type of Collateral Interest Rate Maturity Date Principal Amount Market Value - ------------------ ------------- ------------- ---------------- ------------ U.S. Treasury Notes 3.25% 12/31/2003 $80,400,000 $81,606,000 U.S. Treasury Notes 7.25% 8/15/2004 19,200,000 20,400,000 U.S. Treasury Bonds 8.13% 8/15/2019 6,125,000 8,529,063 As of September 30, 2003, Growth Opportunities Fund and Balanced Assets Fund had a 7.00% and 0.7% undivided interest, respectively, which represented $21,000,000 and 2,000,000, respectively, in principal amount in a joint repurchase agreement with UBS Warburg, LLC. As of such date, the repurchase agreement in the joint account and the collateral therefore were as follows: UBS Warburg, LLC. Repurchase Agreement, 0.96% dated 9/30/03, in the principal amount of $300,000,000, repurchase price $300,008,000 due 10/01/03, collateralized by the following: Type of Collateral Interest Rate Maturity Date Principal Amount Market Value - ------------------ ------------- ------------- ---------------- ------------ U.S. Treasury Bonds 3.63% 4/15/2028 $ 15,709,000 $ 21,819,287 U.S. Treasury Bonds 3.88% 4/15/2029 200,000,000 285,732,884 Securities Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses, Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis; dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Funds investing in foreign securities may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. For financial statements purposes, the Funds amortize all premiums and accrete all discounts on fixed income securities. Gains and losses realized upon the sale of such securities are based on their identified cost. 34 SunAmerica Equity Funds NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- September 30, 2003 -- (continued) Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of the dividend-eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class of shares at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current capital shares activity of the respective class). Expenses common to all Funds, not directly related to individual Funds, are allocated among the Equity Funds based upon their relative net asset value or other appropriate methods. In all other respects, expenses are charged to each Fund as incurred on a specific identification basis. Interest earned on cash balances held at the custodian are shown as custody credits on the statement of operations. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are paid annually, except for Balanced Assets Fund, Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio and Growth and Income Fund, which pay quarterly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are paid at least annually. The Funds record dividends and distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined and presented in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts at fiscal year end based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their net income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise tax provisions are required. Each Fund is considered a separate entity for tax purposes. Investment Securities Loaned: For the period ended September 30, 2003, the Balanced Assets Fund participated in securities lending with qualified brokers. In lending portfolio securities to brokers the Fund receives cash as collateral against the loaned securities, which must be maintained at not less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The Fund may use the cash collateral received to invest in short-term investments which earn interest income or to cover bank overdrafts. Any interest earned from the investment of the collateral is recorded by the Funds net of the portion of interest that is rebated to the borrowing broker. If the amounts are used to cover bank overdrafts, the broker rebates incurred are reflected as interest expense on the Statement of Operations. As with other extensions of credit, should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery or may be subject to replacing the loaned securities by purchasing them with the cash collateral held, which may be less than 100% of the market value of such securities at the time of replacement. As of September 30, 2003, the Balanced Assets Fund did not have any securities on loan. 35 SunAmerica Equity Funds NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- September 30, 2003 -- (continued) Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the period. Realized foreign exchange gains and losses on other assets and liabilities and change in unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on other assets and liabilities include foreign exchange gains and losses from currency gains or losses between the trade and settlement dates of securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds' books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid and changes in the unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses relating to other assets and liabilities arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: Certain portfolios may enter into forward foreign currency contracts ("forward contracts") to attempt to protect securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates or to enhance return. A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked to market daily using the forward rate and the change in market value is recorded by the Portfolio as unrealized gain or loss. On settlement date, the Portfolio records realized foreign exchange gains or losses when the contract is closed equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. 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 relative to the U.S. dollar. Forward contracts involve elements of risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward contract. There were no forward currency contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2003. Futures Contracts: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or U.S. government securities equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the exchange on which the futures contract is traded. The Funds' activities in futures contracts are for hedging purposes and are conducted through regulated exchanges which do not result in counterparty credit risks. A Fund's participation in the futures market involves certain risks, including imperfect correlation between movements in the price of futures contracts and movements in the price of the securities hedged or used for cover. Pursuant to a contract the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Futures contracts involve elements of risk in excess of the 36 SunAmerica Equity Funds NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- September 30, 2003 -- (continued) amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Options: An option is a contract conveying a right to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specified price during a stipulated period. The premium paid by a Fund for the purchase of a call or a put option is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option. When a Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such options is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which the Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security which the Fund purchased upon exercise of the option. Transactions in call and put options written during the period ended September 30, 2003 for New Century Fund are summarized as follows: Written Options ------------------- Number of Premiums Contracts Received --------- --------- Beginning of period....................................

Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, Distribution Agreement and Service Agreement The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (the "Agreement") with SAAMCo. Under the Agreement, SAAMCo provides continuous supervision of a Fund's portfolio and administers its corporate affairs, subject to general review by the Trustees. In connection therewith, SAAMCo furnishes the Funds with office facilities, maintains certain of the Funds' books and records, and pays the salaries and expenses of all personnel, including officers of the Funds who are employees of SAAMCo and its affiliates. The investment advisory and management fee paid to SAAMCo with respect to each Fund is computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of .75% of a Fund's average daily net assets up to $350 million, .70% of the next $350 million, and .65% thereafter, except for the Focused Dividend Strategy Fund and International Equity 37 SunAmerica Equity Funds NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- September 30, 2003 -- (continued) Fund which pay at an annual rate of .35% and 1.00%, respectively, of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the period ended September 30, 2003, SAAMCo earned fees in the amounts stated on the Statement of Operations. The International Equity Fund is subadvised by AIG Global Investment Corp. ("AIGGIC") pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with SAAMCo. AIGGIC is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AIG and an affiliate of SunAmerica. AIGGIC receives an annual fee of .47% of the average daily net assets of the Fund, which is paid by SAAMCo. For the period ended September 30, 2003, SAAMCo has agreed to reimburse expenses as follows: Blue Chip Growth Fund Class I............... $59,487 Growth Opportunities Fund Class I........... 18,411 Growth Opportunities Fund Class X........... 2,387 New Century Fund Class II................... 14,370 New Century Fund Class I.................... 20,047 New Century Fund Class Z*................... 20,262 Growth and Income Fund Class Z*............. 19,555 Growth and Income Fund Class I.............. 42,818 Balanced Assets Fund Class I................ 8,578 Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio Class A. 39,908 Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio Class B. 54,288 Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio Class II 56,045 International Equity Fund Class A........... 57,768 International Equity Fund Class B........... 31,823 International Equity Fund Class II.......... 41,788 International Equity Fund Class I........... 29,275 -------- * See Note 1. The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has a Distribution Agreement with AIG SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. ("SACS"), an affiliate of the Adviser. Each Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") in accordance with the provisions of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Rule 12b-1 permits an investment company directly or indirectly to pay expenses associated with the distribution of its shares ("distribution expenses") in accordance with a plan adopted by the investment company's board of trustees and approved by its shareholders. Pursuant to such rule, the Trustees and the shareholders of each class of shares of each Fund have adopted Distribution Plans hereinafter referred to as the "Class A Plan", "Class B Plan" and "Class II Plan". In adopting the Distribution Plans, the Trustees determined that there was a reasonable likelihood that each such Plan would benefit the Fund and the shareholders of the respective class. Under the Class A Plan, Class B Plan and Class II Plan, the Distributor receives payments from a Fund at an annual rate of up to 0.10%, 0.75% and 0.75%, respectively, of average daily net assets of such Fund's Class to compensate the Distributor and certain securities firms for providing sales and promotional activities for distributing that class of shares. The distribution costs for which the Distributor may be compensated for include 38 SunAmerica Equity Funds NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- September 30, 2003 -- (continued) fees paid to broker-dealers that have sold Fund shares, commissions and other expenses such as those incurred for sales literature, prospectus printing and distribution and compensation to wholesalers. It is possible that in any given year the amount paid to the Distributor under each Class' Plan may exceed the Distributor's distribution costs as described above. The Distribution Plans provide that each class of shares of each Fund may also pay the Distributor an account maintenance and service fee up to an annual rate of 0.25% of the aggregate average daily net assets of such class of shares for payments to broker-dealers for providing continuing account maintenance. Accordingly, for the period ended September 30, 2003, SACS received fees (see Statement of Operations) based upon the aforementioned rates. In addition, SACS is paid a fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets of Class I shares in connection with providing additional shareholder services to Class I shareholders. For the period ended September 30, 2003, SACS earned fees (see Statement of Operations) based upon the aforementioned rates. SACS receives sales charges on each Fund's Class A and Class II shares, portions of which are reallowed to affiliated broker-dealers and non-affiliated broker-dealers. SACS also receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges paid by investors in connection with certain redemptions of each Fund's Class A, Class B and Class II shares. SACS has advised the Funds that for the period ended September 30, 2003, the proceeds received from sales (and paid out to affiliated and non-affiliated broker-dealers) and redemptions are as follows: Class A Class B ----------------------------------- ------------- Non- Affiliated affiliated Contingent Broker- Broker- Deferred Sales Charges dealers dealers Sales Charges ------------- ---------- ---------- ------------- Blue Chip Growth Fund.............. $ 76,426 $ 34,239 $ 32,232 $ 94,718 Growth Opportunities Fund.......... 134,798 62,586 53,665 116,327 New Century Fund................... 76,280 37,871 28,421 35,703 Growth and Income Fund............. 134,355 50,733 53,204 246,500 Balanced Assets Fund............... 395,349 252,313 89,664 158,964 Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio 1,249,495 46,972 1,025,640 101,133 International Equity Fund.......... 80,774 12,503 44,173 52,382 Class II Class II ----------------------------------- ------------- Non- Affiliated affiliated Contingent Broker- Broker- Deferred Sales Charges dealers dealers Sales Charges ------------- ---------- ---------- ------------- Blue Chip Growth Fund.............. $ 5,136 $ 1,647 $ 3,489 $ 1,875 Growth Opportunities Fund.......... 11,586 3,435 8,151 2,861 New Century Fund................... 1,026 461 565 959 Growth and Income Fund............. 19,262 4,111 15,151 8,282 Balanced Assets Fund............... 13,205 3,077 10,128 4,141 Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio 318,945 8,632 310,313 13,972 International Equity Fund.......... 19,141 1,322 17,819 40,350 39 SunAmerica Equity Funds NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- September 30, 2003 -- (continued) The Trust has entered into a Service Agreement with AIG SunAmerica Fund Services, Inc.

The interfund lending program allows the participating Funds to borrow money from and loan money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the participating Funds receive a more favorable interest rate than would otherwise be available from a typical bank for a comparable transaction. For the period ended September 30, 2003, none of the Funds participated in this program. Note 9. Trustees Retirement Plan The Trustees (and Directors) of the SunAmerica Equity Funds have adopted the SunAmerica Disinterested Trustees' and Directors' Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan") effective January 1, 1993 for the unaffiliated Trustees. The Retirement Plan provides generally that if an unaffiliated Trustee who has at least 10 years of consecutive service as a Disinterested Trustee of any of the SunAmerica mutual funds (an "Eligible Trustee") retires after reaching age 60 but before age 70 or dies while a Trustee, such person will be eligible to receive a retirement or death benefit from each SunAmerica mutual fund with respect to which he or she is an Eligible Trustee. As of each birthday, prior to the 70th birthday, but in no event for a period greater than 10 years, each Eligible Trustee will be credited with an amount equal to 50% of his or her regular fees (excluding committee fees) for services as a Disinterested Trustee of each SunAmerica mutual fund for the calendar year in which such birthday occurs. In addition, an amount equal to 8.5% of any amounts credited under the preceding clause during 49 SunAmerica Equity Funds NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- September 30, 2003 -- (continued) prior years is added to each Eligible Trustee's account until such Eligible Trustee reaches his or her 70th birthday. An Eligible Trustee may receive any benefits payable under the Retirement Plan, at his or her election, either in one lump sum or in up to fifteen annual installments. As of September 30, 2003, Blue Chip Growth Fund, Growth Opportunities Fund, New Century Fund, Growth and Income Fund, Balanced Assets Fund, Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio and International Equity Fund had accrued $30,614, $24,148, $52,858, $36,124, $88,681, $10,363 and $16,687, respectively, for the Retirement Plan, which is included in accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and for the year ended September 30, 2003 expensed $4,204, $4,441, $3,741, $8,239, $9,617, $2,100 and $3,170, respectively, for the retirement plan, which is included in Trustee's fees and expenses on the Statement of Operations. Note 10. Investment Concentration Some of the Portfolios may invest internationally, including in "emerging market" countries. These securities may be denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. While investing internationally may reduce your risk by increasing the diversification of your investment, the value of your investment may be affected by fluctuating currency values, changing local and regional economic, political and social conditions, and greater market volatility. In addition, foreign securities may not be as liquid as domestic securities. These risks are primary risks of the International Equity Fund. At September 30, 2003, the International Equity Fund had approximately 20% of its net assets invested in equity securities of companies domiciled in Japan. Note 11. Subsequent Events On October 30, 2003, the Board of Directors approved the reorganization of the SunAmerica Style Select Series, Inc. SunAmerica Value Fund, the Strategic Investment Series, Inc. SunAmerica Biotech/Health Fund and Tax Managed Equity Fund into the newly created Funds in the SunAmerica Equity Funds. In addition, the Board of Trustees approved the reorganization of the SunAmerica Equity Funds Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio into a newly created portfolio of the SunAmerica Style Select Series, Inc., subject to shareholder approval. 50 SunAmerica Equity Funds REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of SunAmerica Equity Funds We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of SunAmerica Balanced Assets Fund, SunAmerica Blue Chip Growth Fund, Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio, SunAmerica Growth and Income Fund, SunAmerica Growth Opportunities Fund, and SunAmerica New Century Fund as of September 30, 2003, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended. Additionally, we have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of the SunAmerica International Equity Fund as of September 30, 2003, the related statement of operations, and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the period presented through September 30, 1999 for the SunAmerica Balanced Assets Fund, SunAmerica Blue Chip Growth, Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio (formerly, the SunAmerica "Dogs" of Wall Street Fund) SunAmerica Growth and Income Fund, SunAmerica Growth Opportunities Fund, and SunAmerica New Century Fund were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 10, 1999, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights. The financial highlights for each of the periods presented through October 31, 2001 for the SunAmerica International Equity Fund were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 14, 2001, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and financial highlights. 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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 SunAmerica Balanced Assets Fund, SunAmerica Blue Chip Growth Fund, Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio, SunAmerica Growth and Income Fund, SunAmerica Growth Opportunities Fund, and SunAmerica New Century Fund, as of September 30, 2003, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also in our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the SunAmerica International Equity Fund as of September 30, 2003, the results of its operations, and the changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Houston, Texas November 17, 2003 51 SunAmerica Equity Funds TRUSTEE INFORMATION -- (unaudited) The following table contains basic information regarding the Trustees that oversee operations of the Portfolios and other investment companies within the SunAmerica Mutual Funds complex.
