Sorell Thomas G. Sorell, C.F.A. Chief Investment Officer QUICK FACTS .. Stocks posted meager returns during the first half of the year, while the bond market was essentially flat. .. The Fed officially began the process of moving away from an accommodative monetary policy when it raised the target Fed Funds rate on June 30. .. The Fed and investors are likely to closely follow inflation data to determine the extent and pace of future rate hikes. .. We believe that investors should consider gravitating to higher quality stocks and bonds. Concerns and Uncertainties Drive the Markets The first two quarters of the year proved to be a study in contrasts. In the first three months, investors questioned whether the strong economic expansion that occurred in the latter half of 2003 was sustainable. While extensive monetary and fiscal stimulus helped drive solid Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in the first quarter 2004, a weak labor market led to fears of a "jobless recovery." This proved to be the driving factor in the markets, causing bond yields to fall and fixed income securities to outperform their equity counterparts. (Gross Domestic Product measures the value of goods and services produced in an economy). Investor psychology then abruptly changed in the second quarter. In April, the Labor Department reported that 308,000 new jobs were created in March, significantly higher than expected. This was followed by impressive job growth in April and May. Confidence grew that economic growth was sustainable as first quarter 2004 GDP increased 3.9%. However, a series of economic reports indicating increasing inflationary risks turned investor focus to concerns about inflation and rising interest rates. The Fed eventually raised rates from 1.00% to 1.25% on June 30, the first such increase in four years. The preoccupation with interest rates overshadowed strong corporate fundamentals and the equity market rose only modestly during the second quarter. Bond yields were sharply higher, especially in the short end of the curve, as the market priced in a series of rate hikes. All told, the U.S. bond market posted its worst quarterly return in a decade. Looking at the first six months of the year, the S&P 500 Index gained 3.44% and the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index returned 0.15%. Overseas, the MSCI EAFE advanced 4.86%, emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI EMF Free Index fell 0.78%, and the JP Morgan Global Government Bond Index returned 0.41%. (The S&P 500 Index is an index of 500 primarily large-cap U.S. stocks that is generally considered to be representative of U.S. stock market activity. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is generally considered to be representative of U.S. bond market activity. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Index for Europe, Australasia, and Far East (EAFE) is an index that is generally considered to be representative of international stock market activity. The JP Morgan Global Government Bond Index tracks total return of government bonds in developed countries globally. The bonds included in the index are weighted according to their market capitalization. The index is unhedged and expressed in terms of $US. The S&P 500 Index, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, the MSCI EAFE Index and the JP Morgan Global Government Bond Index all are unmanaged indices that are not available for direct investment. There are no expenses associated with the indexes.) All Eyes on the Fed Thus far, the Fed has been relatively forthcoming by telegraphing its policy shifts as the economy has gained momentum. Key statements, such as "be patient in removing its policy accommodation," "policy accommodation can be removed at a pace that is likely to be measured," and "will respond to changes in economic prospects as needed to fulfill its obligation to maintain price stability" have been carefully scrutinized by market participants around the world. We currently believe that the Fed will continue to institute 25 basis point rate hikes during its regular meetings and that the Fed Funds rate will be 2.0- 21/4% by year-end. This has already been factored into short-term interest rates. Given signs that inflation has already started to take hold, as indicated by the rising CPI (The Consumer Price Indexes (CPI) program produces monthly data on changes in the prices paid by urban consumers for a representative basket of goods and services) and PPI (The Producer Price Index (PPI) program measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output), we believe that it is likely that rates will continue to rise in 2005 as well. Should inflation remain relatively under control, we believe the Fed will be able to maintain a "measured pace" in raising rates. Market Outlook Now that we have a clear picture of the interest rate environment and the official handover of power in Iraq is behind us, investors may set their sights on the fundamental factors that generally drive the markets, namely the macro-economic situation and corporate profits. However, just as the prospect for rising rates overshadowed the markets in the second quarter, the outlook for inflation will likely do the same in the coming months. Investors may also be distracted as we get closer to the November presidential election. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While the future is impossible to predict, we do know that corporate profits currently remain strong. According to First Call, profit growth among the companies in the S&P 500 Index was an exceptional 26% in the first quarter and is projected to be roughly 22% in the second quarter. With a P/E of 17 times forward earnings, the market is at the higher end of its historical range, although not excessively so. We estimate that with 2004 GDP between 3 1/2-4% and manageable inflation, it is possible that stocks could produce mid- to upper single-digit returns by the end of the year. Lower profits or an acceleration of inflation and Fed hikes would likely lower the returns for stocks in the second half of 2004. In terms of individual equities, we believe that investors who are suitable for these securities should consider shifting their focus from more speculative stocks into higher quality companies with predictable growth prospects, we believe that these stocks should outperform during periods of rising interest rates and declining earnings growth and we are beginning to see this trend developing in the market. Looking at the bond market, the Fed (and investors) will carefully monitor upcoming inflation data to ascertain to what level--and how quickly--rates will rise. With this tightening cycle likely to continue for quite some time, we continue to believe that fixed income investors' coupon return will be diminished by the decline in principal value, dependent on a bond's maturity. Shorter-term bonds are likely to suffer less in principal losses as interest rates rise. Internationally, we expect economic growth in Asia will continue to be strong, despite China's efforts to cool its economy and ward off inflation. While European growth may strengthen in 2005, industry experts believe that it will likely still lag other established economies. Given the mounting U.S. trade deficit, we believe that the dollar should remain under pressure during the second half of the year. This could provide a welcome boost in returns for U.S. investors that hold foreign stock and bonds. Reinforce the Benefits of Professional Advice Given the unsettled market environment, we believe now is an ideal time to proactively contact your financial advisor. When the markets are falling or stagnant, it can be all too easy for investors to overreact. We believe this situation actually represents a compelling opportunity for you to meet with your financial advisor and carefully review your financial portfolios. In doing so, you can determine whether your current asset allocation mix is appropriate given your financial objectives and risk profile. As you might notice, we updated the style of your semiannual report in order to present fund information in an easier to read format. We thank you for your business, confidence and trust to manage your investments and look forward to serving your financial needs in the future. /s/ Thomas G. Sorell Thomas G.

Investing in bond funds exposes you to the general risk of investing in the debt markets. Duration is a measure of bond price sensitivity to a given change in interest rates. Generally, the lower a bond's duration, the greater its price sensitivity to a given change in interest rates. Bond funds are subject to interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices generally rise. Currently, interest rates are at historically low levels. Please keep in mind that in this kind of environment, the risk that bond prices may fall when interest rates rise is potentially greater. .. Please see the "About Your Semiannual Report" page for a description of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. .. Total return figures are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends and distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. The return figures shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on distributions or redemption of shares. Total return figures for Class A shares do not take into account the current maximum sales charge of 4.5%, except where noted.

Organization and Accounting Policies The Park Avenue Portfolio (the Portfolio) is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), which is organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Portfolio consists of thirteen series, namely: The Guardian Park Avenue Fund (GPAF); The Guardian UBS Large Cap Value Fund (GULCVF); The Guardian Park Avenue Small Cap Fund (GPASCF); The Guardian UBS Small Cap Value Fund (GUSCVF); The Guardian Asset Allocation Fund (GAAF); The Guardian S&P 500 Index Fund (GSP500F); The Guardian Baillie Gifford International Growth Fund (formerly The Guardian Baillie Gifford International Fund) (GBGIF); The Guardian Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets Fund (GBGEMF); The Guardian Investment Quality Bond Fund (GIQBF); The Guardian Low Duration Bond Fund (GLDBF); The Guardian High Yield Bond Fund (GHYBF); The Guardian Tax-Exempt Fund (GTEF); and The Guardian Cash Management Fund (GCMF). The series are collectively referred to herein as the "Funds". On February 3, 2003, GULCVF and GUSCVF commenced operations. GULCVF sold 937,500 shares for each of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class K shares to The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America (Guardian Life) for $9,375,000 each. GUSCVF sold 437,500 shares for each of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class K shares to Guardian Life for $4,375,000 each. On July 30, 2003, GLDBF commenced operations. GLDBF sold 750,000 shares for each of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class K shares to Guardian Life for $7,500,000 each. The Funds offer up to five classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K and the Institutional Class. Each of the Funds offers Class A shares. Class A shares are sold with an initial sales load of up to 4.50% (up to 3.00% for GLDBF and 0.00% for GCMF) and an administrative fee of up to .25% on an annual basis of the Funds' average daily net assets. A redemption fee of 2% is imposed on purchases of Class A shares of GBGIF, GBGEMF and GHYBF if redeemed within 60 days of purchase, except for shares held in omnibus accounts. Class B shares are offered by all of the Funds, except for GTEF. Class B shares are sold without an initial sales load but are subject to a 12b-1 fee of .75% and an administrative fee of .25% on an annual basis of each Fund's Class B average daily net assets, and a contingent deferred sales load (CDSL) of up to 3% imposed on certain redemptions. Each of the Funds offers Class C shares. Class C shares are sold without an initial sales load but are subject to a 12b-1 fee of .75% and an administrative fee of .25% on an annual basis of each Fund's Class C average daily net assets, and a CDSL of up to 1% imposed on certain redemptions. Class K shares are offered by all of the Funds, except for GTEF. Class K shares are sold without an initial sales load but are subject to a 12b-1 fee of .40% and an administrative fee of .25% on an annual basis of each Fund's Class K average daily net assets, and a CDSL of up to 1% imposed on certain redemptions. Institutional Class shares are offered by GPAF, GPASCF, GAAF, GSP500F, GBGIF, GBGEMF, GIQBF and GHYBF. As of June 30, 2004, none of the Funds had issued Institutional Class shares. Institutional Class shares are offered at net asset value, without an initial or a CDSL. All classes of shares for each Fund represent interests in the same portfolio of investments, have the same rights and are generally identical in all respects except that each class bears its separate distribution and certain class expenses, and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matter to which a separate vote of any class is required. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and .. The Park Avenue Portfolio Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2004 (Unaudited) liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income, gains (losses) and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting policies of the Funds are as follows: Investments Securities listed on domestic or foreign securities exchanges are valued at the last sale price on such exchanges, or if no sale occurred, at the mean of the bid and asked prices. Securities that are traded on the NASDAQ National Securities Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In GAAF, investments in the underlying Funds are valued at the closing net asset value of each underlying Fund on the day of valuation. Pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, certain debt securities may be valued each business day by an independent pricing service (Service). Debt securities for which quoted bid prices are readily available and representative of the bid side of the market, in the judgment of the Service, are valued at the bid price, except for GTEF. In GTEF, debt securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices obtained by the Service. Other debt securities that are valued by the Service are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement prices established by the boards of trade or exchanges on which they are traded. Other securities, including securities for which market quotations are not readily available (such as certain mortgage backed securities, restricted securities and foreign securities subject to a "significant event") are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Funds' Board of Trustees. A "significant event" is an event that will affect the value of a portfolio security that occurs after the close of trading in the security's primary trading market or exchange but before the Funds' NAV is calculated. Investing outside of the U.S. may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with domestic investments, including the possibility of political and economic unrest and different levels of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets. Repurchase agreements are carried at cost which approximates market value (see Note 5). Short-term securities held by the Funds are valued on an amortized cost basis which approximates market value but does not take into account unrealized gains and losses. GCMF values its investments based on amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investment transactions are recorded on the date of purchase or sale. Security gains or losses are determined on an identified cost basis. Interest income, including amortization/accretion of premium/discount, is accrued daily. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses) and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative value of shares of each class. Class-specific expenses, which include any items that are specifically attributed to a particular class, are charged directly to such class. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, distribution, administrative and transfer agent fees were the only class-specific expenses. Foreign Currency Translation GPAF, GULCVF, GPASCF, GUSCVF, GAAF, GBGIF, GBGEMF and GHYBF are permitted to buy international securities that are not U.S. dollar denominated. Their books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) The foreign currency market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange. (2) Security purchases and sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations as follows: Gains and losses attributable to foreign currency exchange rates on sales of securities are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. Realized foreign exchange gains and losses, which result from changes in foreign exchange rates between the date on which a Fund earns dividends and interest or pays foreign withholding taxes or other expenses and the date on which U.S. dollar equivalent amounts are actually received or paid, are included in net realized gains or losses - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 62 .. The Park Avenue Portfolio Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2004 (Unaudited) on foreign currency related transactions. Realized foreign exchange gains and losses which result from changes in foreign exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on security and currency transactions are also included in net realized gains or losses on foreign currency related transactions. Net currency gains and losses from valuing other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the period end exchange rate are reflected in net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation from translation of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts GPAF, GULCVF, GPASCF, GUSCVF, GAAF, GBGIF, GBGEMF and GHYBF may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities, or to hedge against changes in currency exchange rates affecting the values of its investments that are denominated in a particular currency. A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward exchange rate. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in the value of forward foreign currency contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses from translation of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies by the Funds. When forward contracts are closed, the Funds will record realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the values of such forward contracts at the time each was opened and the values at the time each was closed. Such amounts are recorded in net realized gains or losses on foreign currency related transactions. The Funds will not enter into a forward foreign currency contract if such contract would obligate the applicable Funds to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the Funds' portfolio securities or other assets denominated in that currency. Futures Contracts GULCVF, GUSCVF, GAAF, GSP500F, GBGIF, GBGEMF, GIQBF, GLDBF, GHYBF and GTEF may enter into financial futures contracts for the delayed delivery of securities, currency or contracts based on financial indices at a fixed price on a future date. In entering into such contracts, the Funds are required to deposit either in cash or securities an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as variation margins by the Funds. The daily changes in the variation margin are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by the Funds. The Funds' investments in financial futures contracts are designed to hedge against anticipated future changes in interest or exchange rates or securities prices. In addition, GAAF may enter into financial futures contracts for non-hedging purposes. Should interest or exchange rates or securities prices or prices of futures contracts move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. Dividend Distributions Dividends from net investment income are declared and accrued daily and are paid monthly for GIQBF, GLDBF, GHYBF and GTEF, and declared and paid semi-annually for GPAF, GULCVF, GPASCF, GUSCVF, GAAF, GSP500F, GBGIF and GBGEMF. Net realized short-term and long-term capital gains for these Funds will be distributed at least annually. Dividends from GCMF's net investment income, which includes any net realized capital gains or losses, are declared and accrued daily and paid monthly on the last business day of each month. All dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with federal income tax regulations. Differences between the recognition of income on an income tax basis and recognition of income based on GAAP may cause temporary overdistributions of net realized gains and net investment income. Taxes Each Fund has qualified and intends to remain qualified to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" under the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (Code), and as such will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income (including any realized capital gains) which is distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Code. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains in GBGIF and GBGEMF have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates. Expense Reductions GTEF has entered into an arrangement with its custodian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 63 .. The Park Avenue Portfolio Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2004 (Unaudited) balances were used to reduce a portion of the Fund's expenses. During the period, GTEF's custodian fees were reduced by $13,207 under this arrangement. GTEF could have employed the uninvested assets to produce income if GTEF has not entered into such arrangement. Reclassification of Capital Accounts The treatment for financial statement purposes of distributions made during the year from net investment income and net realized gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences primarily are caused by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income or capital gains, and the recharacterization of foreign exchange gains or losses to either ordinary income or realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset value per share of the Funds. Note 2. Investment Advisory Agreements and Payments to or from Related Parties The Funds (except GBGIF and GBGEMF) have an investment advisory agreement with Guardian Investor Services LLC (GIS), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Guardian Life. Fees for investment advisory are at an annual rate of .50% of the average daily net assets of each Fund, except for GPASCF, GSP500F, GHYBF and GLDBF, which pay GIS an annual rate of .75%, .25%, .60% and .45%, respectively, of their average daily net assets. GAAF is subject to a contractual annual advisory fee of .65% of its average daily net assets. However, GIS has agreed to a waiver of .15% of GAAF's annual advisory fee when GAAF is operated as a "fund of funds" so that GAAF's effective advisory fee is .50% of its average daily net assets. There are no duplicative advisory and administrative service fees charged to GAAF on assets invested in other Guardian Funds. Under an SEC exemptive order, advisory and administrative fees are paid at the underlying Fund level. GULCVF pays investment advisory fees to GIS at an annual rate of .83% of its average daily net assets. GUSCVF pays investment advisory fees to GIS at an annual rate of 1.00% of its average daily net assets for the first $50 million and an annual rate of .95% of its average daily net assets in excess of $50 million. GIS has entered into a sub-investment advisory agreement with UBS Global Asset Management (Americas), Inc. (UBS Global AM). UBS Global AM is responsible for the day-to-day management of GULCVF and GUSCVF. GIS continually monitors and evaluates the performance of UBS Global AM. As compensation for its services, GIS pays UBS Global AM at an annual rate of .43% of GULCVF's average daily net assets and at an annual rate of .60% for the first $50 million and at an annual rate of .55% in excess of $50 million of GUSCVF's average daily net assets. Payment of sub-investment advisory fees does not represent a separate or additional expense to GULCVF or GUSCVF. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, GIS voluntarily assumed a portion of the ordinary operating expenses (excluding interest expense associated with reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending) that exceeded a percentage of the average daily net assets of the respective Funds, by class, as follows: Fund Class A Class B Class C Class K - ---- ------- ------- ------- ------- GSP500F .53% 1.28% 1.28% 0.93% GIQBF .85% 1.60% 1.60% 1.25% GLDBF .80% 1.55% 1.55% 1.20% GHYBF .85% 1.60% 1.60% 1.25% GTEF .85% N/A 1.60% N/A GCMF .85% 1.60% 1.60% 1.25% For the six months ended June 30, 2004, GIS voluntarily assumed a portion of certain Funds' expenses based on their respective average daily net assets as follows: - -------------------------------------------------- GSP500F* - -------------------------------------------------- Class A Class B Class C Class K ------- ------- ------- ------- Ordinary Operating Expenses .19% .19% .19% .16% 12b-1 Fees -- .27% .30% -- ---- ---- ---- ---- .19% .46% .49% .16% ==== ==== ==== ==== - -------------------------------------------------- GIQBF* - -------------------------------------------------- Class A Class B Class C Class K ------- ------- ------- ------- Ordinary Operating Expenses .14% .14% .14% .07% 12b-1 Fees -- .15% .20% -- ---- ---- ---- ---- .14% .29% .34% .07% ==== ==== ==== ==== - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 64 ..

For the six months ended June 30, 2004, GIS voluntarily assumed $180,317, $139,942, $110,195, $159,836, $53,767 and $240,089 of the ordinary operating expenses of GSP500F, GIQBF, GLDBF, GHYBF, GTEF and GCMF, respectively. The Portfolio, on behalf of GBGIF and GBGEMF, has an investment management agreement with Guardian Baillie Gifford Limited (GBG), a Scottish corporation owned by The Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company, Inc. (GIAC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guardian Life and Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited (BG Overseas). GBG is responsible for the overall investment management of GBGIF and GBGEMF's portfolios, subject to the supervision of the Portfolio's Board of Trustees. GBG has entered into a sub-investment management agreement with BG Overseas pursuant to which BG Overseas is responsible for the day-to-day management of GBGIF and GBGEMF. GBG continually monitors and evaluates the performance of BG Overseas. As compensation for its services, GBGIF and GBGEMF pay GBG annual investment management fees of .80% and 1.00%, respectively, of their average daily net assets. One half of these fees is payable by GBG to BG Overseas for its services. Payment of the sub-investment management fee does not represent a separate or additional expense to GBGIF or GBGEMF. The Guardian Fund Complex pays trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) fees consisting of a $5,000 per meeting fee and an annual retainer of $30,500, allocated among all funds in the Guardian Fund Complex based on relative average daily net assets. Board committee members also receive a fee of $2,000 per committee meeting, which also is allocated among all funds in the Guardian Fund Complex based on relative average daily net assets. Additional compensation is paid to the Chairmen of the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Audit Committee, respectively. GIS pays compensation to certain trustees who are interested persons. Certain officers and trustees of the Funds are affiliated with GIS. GAAF received $942,007 in dividends from other Guardian mutual funds. Park Avenue Securities LLC (PAS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GIAC and an affiliate of GIS distributes the Portfolio's shares as a retail broker-dealer. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, PAS received $314,980 for brokerage commissions from the Portfolio. Administrative Services Agreement Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement adopted by the Funds on behalf of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class K shares, each of the Funds, except GPAF, pays GIS an administrative service fee at an annual rate of .25% of the Funds' average daily net assets. GPAF pays this fee to GIS at an annual rate of up to .25% of the average daily net assets for which a "dealer of record" has been designated. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, GPAF Class A shares paid an annualized rate of .22% of its average daily net assets pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. Note 3. Underwriting Agreement and Distribution Plan The Portfolio has entered into an Underwriting Agreement with GIS pursuant to which GIS serves as the principal underwriter for shares of the Funds. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 65 .. The Park Avenue Portfolio Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) June 30, 2004 (Unaudited) For the six months ended June 30, 2004, aggregate front-end sales charges for the sale of Class A shares paid to GIS were as follows: Fund Commissions Fund Commissions - ---- ----------- ------ ----------- GPAF $17,697 GBGEMF $ 593 GULCVF 55 GIQBF 2,125 GPASCF 2,428 GLDBF 766 GAAF 2,113 GHYBF 429 GSP500F 3,778 GTEF 1,425 GBGIF 308 Under Distribution Plans adopted by the Portfolio pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "12b-1 Plans"), each Fund is authorized to pay a monthly 12b-1 fee for certain classes of shares at an annual rate of .75% of average daily net assets of the Fund's Class B and Class C shares and .40% of average daily net assets of the Fund's Class K shares as compensation for distribution-related services provided to the Class B, Class C and Class K shares of those Funds.

Repurchase Agreements The collateral for repurchase agreements is either cash or fully negotiable U.S. government securities. Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized (including the interest earned thereon) and such collateral is marked-to-market daily while the agreements remain in force. If the value of the collateral falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the applicable Fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults, the applicable Fund maintains the right to sell the collateral and may claim any resulting loss against the seller. Note 6. Reverse Repurchase Agreements GAAF, GIQBF, GLDBF and GHYBF may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks or third party broker-dealers to borrow short-term funds. Interest on the value of reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates at the time of issuance. At the time GAAF, GIQBF, GLDBF and GHYBF enter into a reverse repurchase agreement, the Funds establish and segregate cash, U.S. government securities or liquid, unencumbered securities that are marked-to-market daily. The value of such segregated assets must be at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation (principal plus accrued interest), as applicable. Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the buyer of the securities sold by GAAF, GIQBF, GLDBF and GHYBF may be unable to deliver the securities when the Funds seek to repurchase them. Note 7. Dollar Roll Transactions GAAF, GIQBF, GLDBF and GHYBF may enter into dollar roll transactions with financial institutions to take advantage of opportunities in the mortgage market. A dollar roll transaction involves a sale by the Fund of securities that it holds with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase similar securities at an agreed upon price and date. The securities repurchased will bear the same interest as those sold, but generally will be collateralized at the time of delivery by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories than those securities sold. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the buyer of the securities sold by GAAF, GIQBF, GLDBF and GHYBF may be unable to deliver the securities when the Funds seek to repurchase them. Note 8. Shares of Beneficial Interest There is an unlimited number of $0.01 par value shares of beneficial interest authorized, divided into five classes, designated as Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K and Institutional Class shares. As of June 30, 2004: (i) GPAF, GPASCF, GAAF, GSP500F, GBGIF, GBGEMF, GIQBF and GHYBF offered all five classes; (ii) GTEF offered Class A and Class C shares; and (iii) GULCVF, GUSCVF, GLDBF and GCMF offered Class A, Class B, Class C and Class K shares. Through June 30, 2004, no Institutional Class shares of the Funds were sold. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 67 ..
