ANNUAL REPORT DEAR SHAREHOLDER: I am pleased to provide you with the Annual Report to Shareholders for the Activa Mutual Funds for the period ended December 31, 2002. The following pages include the sub-advisers' management discussions and performance reviews for the Funds. For the third consecutive year the US stock market finished in negative territory. The decline in 2002 marked the first time since the 1930s that the US stock market declined for three consecutive years. Unlike other declining periods, the negative returns in 2002 were spread across almost every sector of the market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the year down 16.7%. The Standard and Poor's 500 Index and Nasdaq ended 2002 down 23.3% and 31% respectively. Nothing during the run up in the market during the 1990s prepared us for this magnitude of a decline. Corporate accounting scandals, airline bankruptcies, and potential war with Iraq hung over Wall Street much of the year. Reports of an economy moving ahead but not accelerating, show consumers continuing to spend while corporations kept their spending, hiring and expansion plans in check. In these times of uncertainty we believe investors should try to focus on what they can control as opposed to what they cannot. Reviewing your portfolio's diversification and balancing strategies may help you reduce risk in your portfolio. Diversification works best when you choose investments that are not closely correlated with one another. Bond funds and money market funds, for example, are classic choices to diversify a stock portfolio. It is often necessary to rebalance your portfolio to ensure that the balance between stocks and bonds has not changed. For example, if you wanted to keep a mix of 50% stocks and 50% bonds you may discover that your current portfolio is more heavily weighted in bonds than you desire. This occurs in years where either one of the markets significantly outperforms the other as the bond market outperformed the stock market during 2002. You may wish to rebalance your portfolio back to your desired mix between stocks and bonds. Also, remember to keep in mind your investment time horizon when creating or updating your investment portfolio. Although stocks have had negative returns for the last three years, over longer periods average returns on stock funds still outperform bond funds. Using techniques such as dollar cost averaging, investing a certain amount of money in the same fund at the same time each month or quarter, may help you to pay a lower average cost per share, even though it does not guarantee a profit, and avoid the temptation of trying to predict the market low. Call an Activa Funds Shareholder Representative (1-800-346-2670) to further discuss dollar cost averaging and how you can establish an automatic investment program. The Activa Funds were designed to provide for a well-diversified portfolio within one fund family. Our professional investment managers use a disciplined approach to managing the portfolios using extensive valuation measures. We have recently added additional investment calculators to our web-site to help you create a portfolio to meet your needs. Please visit our website at www.activafunds.com to read more about the Investment Managers of the Funds, and how you can develop a diversified portfolio using the Activa Funds. We here at Activa funds thank you for your support of our Fund family and we will continue to make it our priority to bring you the highest level of quality and service. Sincerely, /s/ Allan D.

ACTIVA MONEY MARKET FUND -- JP Morgan Investment Management, Inc. The U.S. economic recovery, robust in the first quarter of 2002, faltered during the spring. Fear and doubt overwhelmed the markets, due in part to weak economic data, negative corporate headlines, the possibility of new terrorist attacks, and geopolitical tensions. Interest rates were volatile, credit spreads narrowed and the yield curve steepened as investors tried to evaluate contradictory economic data and escalating geopolitical risk. The Federal Reserve Board left interest rates unchanged until November, when it lowered the federal funds rate by half-a-percent to 1.25%--a larger-than-expected decrease--and adopted a neutral bias. Fixed income activity throughout the period was characterized by volatility and a lack of liquidity. The Fed's easing bias led to a drop in interest rates, especially in the shorter maturities. As investors sought quality, Treasury yields rallied and the market value of many investment-grade bonds declined. Money markets became a safe haven for many investors concerned about the volatility in the equity and fixed income markets. In 2001, the Fed's bias toward low interest rates drove down yields on short-term maturities. But as the economy showed strength during the first quarter of 2002, a rate increase seemed likely and interest rates rose. The Activa Money Market Fund returned 1.14% for the year ended December 31, 2002. Early in 2002, we responded to the low interest rate environment by allowing the weighted average maturity (WAM) of the Fund to shorten. However, as expectations of a Fed rate increase grew, we extended. When the market rallied in the spring, we defensively shortened maturities, extending again in May and June. During the summer, as the market suffered from a lack of relative value, we focused on maintaining flexibility. At each month end, we took advantage of seasonal funding pressures to add very short maturities. The economy, which weakened in the spring, continued to struggle during the summer. Investors speculated that the Fed would cut interest rates later in the year. We prepared the Fund for two eases of a quarter-percent each and were well-positioned when the Fed eased rates by half-a-percent. Following the announcement, we maintained a longer WAM to take advantage of the positively sloped yield curve. Toward the end of December, we let our cash positions build, shortening the WAM and giving us flexibility through year-end. We expect the economy to grow slowly in 2003, notwithstanding the geopolitical risks. In the first half of the year, interest rates should remain low, but they could edge higher in the second half. Given the current state of the economy and the increasing probability of additional fiscal stimulus, we do not expect any more interest rate cuts. We may look to extend the WAM of the fund on any rise in interest rates. 2 ACTIVA Mutual Funds Annual Report

ACTIVA Intermediate Bond Fund -- McDonnell Investment Management, LLC As we entered 2002, the fixed income market was focused on the prospects for economic recovery and the likelihood of rising interest rates. As it turned out, 2002 was marked by economic uncertainty, corporate accounting concerns, financial disclosure problems, geopolitical risks and a weakening US dollar. These events contributed to a decline in US interest rates and to market participants favoring the stability and security of high quality fixed income securities. In addition, at the Federal Open Market Committee's November 2002 meeting, the Federal Reserve Board reduced the Federal Funds rate from 1.75% to 1.25%. The declining interest rate environment led to further steepening of the yield curve. The yield difference from 2 year treasuries to 30 year treasuries increased from 2.44% as of December 31, 2001 to 3.18% as of December 31, 2002. The 2-year treasury yield declined from 3.02% on December 31, 2001 to 1.60% on December 31, 2002 while the 30-year treasury yield decreased from 5.47% to 4.78% over the same period. The U.S. economy showed a sign of a subdued recovery as real Gross Domestic Product is expected to grow at nearly 3% for the 12 months ended December 31, 2002. The keys to a sustained economic recovery will be for the continued restoration of confidence in the US capital markets, business investment growth, improved trade balances and a reduction in the current geopolitical risks. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index returned 10.27% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. For the same twelve month period, the treasury sector had the highest return of 11.79%. The lowest return for the period of 8.55% was generated by the asset-backed sector. The Fund generated total returns of 8.85% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, underperforming the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index return of 10.27%. As of December 31, 2002, the Activa Intermediate Bond Fund (the Fund) had a duration of approximately 3.9 years, which was comparable to the 3.9 year duration of the Fund's benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. With respect to relative sector weightings, the Fund held overweight positions in the asset and mortgage backed and corporate sectors, and an underweight position in the treasury sector. These sector weightings detracted from performance. We believe the relative yield premiums offered by these sectors remain attractive and present attractive total return opportunities. The ongoing corporate accounting and financial disclosure concerns have weighed heavily on the economy and financial markets. A satisfactory resolution to these problems and a restoration of confidence to the investing public will be a strong factor in the continuing economic recovery. The most recent statement from the Federal Reserve Board indicated the economic risks appear to be balanced between conditions that may generate economic weakness as well as economic strength. We believe the first half of 2003 will continue to present challenges for fixed-income portfolios, particularly if economic strength emerges and interest rates begin to rise. However, an improved economic environment may lead to improved credit conditions and should present opportunities along the yield curve. We expect to continue to meet these challenges through appropriate risk management and our disciplined investment style. ACTIVA Mutual Funds Annual Report 3

ACTIVA Value Fund-- Wellington Management Co., LLP Throughout 2002, stock prices and business news were not driven by traditional factors, such as economic activity and business expansion, but by a continued loss of confidence and persistent risk aversion. Equity markets experienced consistent volatility, with seemingly conflicting economic news and growing tension in the Middle East. The consumer was the mainstay of growth, helped by record "cash outs" from mortgage refinancing, partially offsetting the impact from higher unemployment. As anticipated, the year-end holiday season saw a deceleration in consumer spending and confidence. As the year drew to a close, corporate spending remained sluggish, although there are initial signs of improvement in areas like technology. Value stocks outperformed growth stocks by a wide margin in 2002, with the Russell 1000 Value Index down 15.52% versus the Russell 1000 Growth Index down 27.89%. Every sector declined in 2002: Information Technology was the leading laggard while Consumer Staples posted the strongest return. In this environment, the Activa Value Fund returned -17.87% for the 12 month period ended December 31, 2002 versus the -15.52% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index. While the Fund underperformed the benchmark for the 2002 annual period, the Fund outperformed the benchmark for the last half of 2002 (-9.4% for the Fund vs. -11.3% for the Russell 1000 Value Index) as well as during the fourth quarter (10.1% for the Fund vs. 9.2 % for the benchmark). During the early period of 2002, the equity markets were quite mixed and the Fund was not immune to this volatility. Corporate scandals, mixed evidence surrounding a global economic recovery, tightening credit markets, and the on-going war on terrorism were all contributing factors to the markets diminished confidence during this early period. However, the Fund experienced a significant positive rebound in stock selection during the last half of the year. For the twelve-month period, stock selection in the Financials, Utilities, and Information Technology sectors were the largest benchmark-relative contributors to performance, while holdings in the Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Consumer Staples sectors detracted from relative performance. Our overweight position in Telecommunications holding Qwest Communications added considerable value for the Fund for the year. We re-initiated a position in the stock in August after eliminating it during the first quarter. Within Financials, the Fund benefited significantly from its position in Golden West Financial. A leader in adjustable-rate mortgage lending, the stock was weak in the third quarter in light of a potential slowdown in the housing market. We kept our overweight position in the stock, given its attractive value and growth prospects. In the Industrials sector, our exposure to Tyco had a negative impact on the Fund for the year. This holding was eliminated during the second quarter of 2002, but was a detractor from performance for the year. Within Utilities, we replaced our position in Dynegy in April with Exelon, one of the largest utility companies in the US. While Dynegy did detract from the year's performance, our exposure to Exelon did help offset that detraction. Exelon came under pressure during the third quarter on news of government concern over accounting treatment related to the merger that created the company. We maintained our overweight position and believed the company had appropriately accounted for the transaction. In late September, the government did rule in favor of Exelon and the Fund benefited significantly from our overweight. We expect 2003 to be a year of tempered recovery and look to the corporate sector to provide more thrust than the consumer. While the corporate healing process continues, we believe business spending is poised for recovery once we get any war with Iraq successfully behind us. Corporate profits are improving, capacity utilization, while still less-than-desired, is improving, inventories are very low, considerable balance sheet repair has already occurred with credit expanding, and we think there are pent-up needs for IT spending. Gross Domestic Product is expected to gradually recover at a 2.5% to 3% pace. Finally, consumer spending, unlike most recoveries, will likely remain sluggish given a slow-moving jobs recovery, decelerating wage gains, geopolitical concerns, higher energy prices and a likely end to the refinancing boom. With the prospect of a dividend tax cut and the risk of a high price to earnings correction, 2003 could continue to be very supportive of Value stocks. ACTIVA Mutual Funds Annual Report 5

ACTIVA Growth Fund -- State Street Research & Management Company Investors were optimistic about the US economy and the stock market early in 2002, but these hopes were dashed as accounting scandals and reports of corporate mismanagement began to undermine investor confidence early in the second quarter. Then, as the economy stalled and the nation's leaders talked seriously of war with Iraq, the stock market crumbled under the increasing weight of the bad news. Despite continued action on the part of the Federal Reserve Board to stimulate the US economy through lower short-term interest rates--the lowest, in fact, in 40 years--the US economy failed to gather enough steam to mount a meaningful recovery during the year. Consumers accounted for most of the single-digit growth, as they continued to spend on retail goods, housing and automobiles. However, business was a no-show, keeping a tight fist on hiring and spending. Job layoffs continued and the jobless rate moved to an eight-year high of 6.0% late in the year. The Russell 1000 Growth Index returned -27.89%, as all major sectors declined. A brief rally in the fourth quarter gave investors hope that the market had reached its bear-market bottom. Equity markets declined markedly for the third consecutive year, primarily due to corporate scandal, increased geopolitical risks and continued economic uncertainty. Within the Russell 1000 Growth Index, none of the major sectors posted positive returns, with Technology suffering the worst. In this environment, the portfolio lagged the index as weaker selection in the Financial Services, Health Care and Conglomerates sectors offset relative gains in the Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors. The Activa Growth Fund returned -33.69% for the year ended December 31, 2002, versus the Russell 1000 Growth Index return of -27.89%. In the Consumer Discretionary sector, returns were buoyed by slot machine manufacturer International Game Technology, which posted positive returns as the company continued to generate earnings in excess of forecasts despite the economic environment. Retailer Target also provided strong returns that benefited the portfolio. In Technology, software provider Intuit and PC manufacturer Dell posted relatively strong gains during the year. Our lack of exposure to many of the volatile securities, such as Sun Microsystems and Motorola, which experienced significant price depreciation, helped overall performance. Our stock selection in the Health Care sector was notably weak during the year. While the portfolio's biotech exposure, led by Amgen and Baxter International, was strong, several negative developments in our pharmaceutical holdings (Wyeth, Sepracor and Andrx Group) caused their stock to decline significantly. The FDA surprised pharmaceutical company Sepracor and the market by not approving Soltara, its potential blockbuster allergy drug. Andrx and Wyeth sold off after missing their earnings estimates. However, we did profit from our position in Pharmacia, which gained during the year on news of its merger with Pfizer. In the Financial Services sector, Bank of New York and Capital One both turned in disappointing results. Capital One sold off in the third quarter due to concerns over the credit quality of its customers. The "Enron hangover" led investors to shift away from companies such as GE--which had carefully managed reported earnings--and Tyco with less-than-transparent financial statements. Our position in diversified manufacturer Tyco also hurt portfolio performance. Tyco's stock bottomed out in February and we eliminated our position in March based on declining confidence in the company's management team and our growing concern about its ability to take advantage of the cyclical recovery. While we would expect modest and gradual improvement in the overall US economy going forward, macro-economic forecasts are not essential to our investment approach. We continue to look for high-quality companies with solid--or improving--growth, trading at reasonable valuations, irrespective of the broad economic environment. As we enter 2003, we anticipate that the market will return to basics, with more focus on fundamentals and less focus on the type of corporate misdeeds that plagued the market in 2002. With an increased emphasis on the quality and accuracy of corporate reporting, we feel the market will have an easier time distinguishing between fundamental strength and fundamental weakness.

ACTIVA International Fund -- Nicholas Applegate Capital Management The first nine months of 2002 were definitely challenging markets for equity investors characterized by a great deal of pessimism surrounding the prospects for the global economy, corporate profits, and corporate governance. The market declines put additional pressure on financial services companies, many of which suffered mightily from the stress of stretched liquidity ratios and forced capital raising activities. In October and November, however, the market experienced a "junk bounce," in which low-quality stocks exhibiting low earnings growth, high price-to-earning ratios, poor year-to-date performance, and high betas (a measure of a stock's volatility relative to a benchmark) posted strong gains. In this environment, many of the high-quality stocks in the portfolio exhibiting solid or improving fundamentals were less rewarded. A more realistic mood returned in December. The market began to exhibit greater rationality based on signs of stability in the fundamental data. The portfolio participated in the fourth-quarter rally, although the Fund's emphasis on companies with quality earnings growth prospects led to underperformance of the benchmark. In 2002, the Activa International Equity portfolio returned -20.22%, underperforming the MSCI EAFE benchmark, which returned -15.94% for the year. Performance for 2002 can be dissected into three distinct periods: the first three quarters; the October and November market bounce of low-quality stocks; and December when returns reflected more realistic expectations. By style, international value stocks outperformed their growth counterparts in 2002. By size, international large-cap stocks generated greater returns than international small-cap equities. The top-performing names in the portfolio for the year included SAP, a provider of e-business software solutions; Infosys, an IT consulting company and Petro CDA. On a country basis, stock selection in Canada, Italy and Germany helped results. Technology was our weakest sector in terms of stock selection, particularly our Japanese technology stock selection. Stock and sector selection was strongest in Business Services, Financial Services, and Energy. ACTIVA Mutual Funds Annual Report 9

Activa Notes to Financial Statements 1. ORGANIZATION Activa Mutual Fund Trust (Trust) was organized as a Delaware business trust on February 2, 1998. The trust consists of five funds, each open-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The funds are: the Activa Money Market Fund (Money Market Fund), the Activa Intermediate Bond Fund (Intermediate Bond Fund), the Activa Value Fund (Value Fund), the Activa Growth Fund (Growth Fund) and the Activa International Fund (International Fund) collectively referred to as the Funds. The Value Fund is the successor to Amway Mutual Fund. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Investment Objectives The Money Market Fund's investment objective is to seek a high level of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity. The Money Market Fund invests in a broad spectrum of high quality U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities, with the average weighted maturity of the securities held not to exceed 90 days. The Intermediate Bond Fund's investment objective is to seek a high level of current income as is consistent with moderate risk of capital and maintenance of liquidity. The Intermediate Bond Fund invests primarily in investment-grade debt securities, with average maturity of three to ten years. The Value Fund's investment objective is to maximize long-term capital appreciation, and invests primarily in common stocks of large and medium size U.S. companies which are considered by the investment manager to be undervalued. The Growth Fund seeks long-term growth of capital, and invests primarily in common stocks believed by the investment manager to have long-term growth potential. The International Fund seeks maximum long-term capital appreciation. The International Fund invests primarily in common stocks of large and medium size non-U.S. companies which are believed by the investment manager to have potential for above-average growth of earnings. Classes of Shares The Value Fund offers two classes of shares (Class A and Class R). The Class R shares are offered to tax-exempt retirement and benefit plans of Alticor, Inc. and its affiliates, and are not subject to any sales charges or 12b-1 distribution fees. Each share of Class A and Class R represents an equal proportionate interest in the Value Fund and, generally, will have identical voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights and the same terms and conditions. Each class will have exclusive voting rights with respect to matters affecting only that class. Each class bears different distribution, shareholder servicing and transfer agent expenses. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based upon its relative net assets. Security Valuation Investments in securities listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange are valued at their last reported sale price before the time of valuation. If a security is traded only in the over-the-counter market, or if no sales have been reported for a listed security on that day, it is valued at the mean between the current closing bid and ask prices. Short-term securities maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Portfolio debt securities with remaining maturities greater than 60 days are valued by pricing agents approved by the Board of Trustees. Foreign securities are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates at the close of the New York Stock Exchange. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, including any restricted securities (none at December 31, 2002), and other assets of the Funds are valued at fair market value as determined by the Fund's Board of Trustees. Derivative Transactions The Funds (except the Money Market Fund) may trade in derivative contracts to hedge portfolio holdings and for investment purposes. Hedging activities are intended to reduce various risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. When entering into a forward currency contract, the fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued daily. The fund's net equity in the contracts is included as unrealized gains or losses in the statement of assets and liabilities. This unrealized gain or loss is the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date. The current year change in unrealized gains and losses and realized gains and 36 Activa Mutual Funds Annual Report

Activa Notes to Financial Statements continued losses are included in the statement of operations. These instruments involve market risk, credit risk, or both kinds of risk, in excess of the amount recognized in the statements of assets and liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counter parties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and security values and interest rates. There were no foreign currency contracts outstanding at December 31, 2002. Security Transactions Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Original issue discounts are accreted and premium is amortized on debt securities to interest income over the life of a security with a corresponding adjustment in the cost basis. Realized gains and losses from security transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are reported on a specific identification basis. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend date. Foreign Currency Translation Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized gains and losses from foreign currency and investment transactions disclosed in the Statement of Operations consist of net gains and losses on disposition of foreign currency, currency gains and losses realized between trade and settlement dates on security transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the amount actually received in U.S. dollars. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in fair values of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. The effects of foreign currency exchange rates on foreign securities held are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Futures Contracts The Funds may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock and bond markets. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown at the end of the schedule of investments. This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. There were no futures contracts outstanding at December 31, 2002. Security Lending The funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The funds receive collateral in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the loaned securities, and maintain collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the funds on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the funds could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. At December 31, 2002, the value of the securities loaned and the collateral received amounted to $19,390,068 and $19,833,300 respectively. Reorganization Costs Reorganization costs incurred prior to June 30, 1998 in connection with the reorganization of Amway Mutual Fund and the issuance of Class R shares are being amortized over a period of 60 months using the straight-line method in the Value Fund. Federal Income Taxes It is the Funds' policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment Activa Mutual Funds Annual Report 37

Dividend Distributions The Money Market Fund and Intermediate Bond Fund declare dividends daily and monthly respectively, and distribute dividends monthly, and capital gains (if any) are distributed annually. The Value Fund, Growth Fund and International Fund declare and distribute dividends and capital gains (if any) annually. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Out 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 of America. 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 securities owned as of December 31, 2002, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 each of the respective funds constituting the Activa Mutual Fund Trust, as of December 31, 2002, 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 their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ BDO SEIDMAN, LLP Grand Rapids, Michigan January 27, 2003 44 Activa Mutual Funds Annual Report
