A Letter from the Chairman
Dear Client:
Economic growth was mixed throughout the world in 2004, while the weakening U.S. dollar proved to be a boon to many foreign stock markets. The economies of the twelve euro zone countries grew by less than 2%, but many European stock markets still produced solid returns. In the United Kingdom, a relatively robust economy helped the FTSE 100 Index gain over 11%, despite four interest rate hikes by the Bank of England. Investors in mainland Europe ignored anemic economic growth rates, pushing up both Germany’s DAX Index and France’s CAC 40 Index by more than 7%. Many Asian stock markets posted substantial increases, due to inflows of foreign capital and healthy economic growth. Stock markets in Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong enjoyed the largest percentage gains, although markets in Japan also ended higher, despite a sluggish economy. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index rose over 17%, while Japan’s Nikkei Average finished the period up more than 8%. In Latin America, Mexico’s recovering economy drove stock market gains of over 40%, while Chinese demand for metals and other commodities helped spur growth in Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
The United States economy turned in a strong performance in 2004. Gross domestic product, which grew steadily throughout the year, ended higher by about 4%. The consumer remained the mainstay of economic activity, as relatively low interest rates drove continued spending on housing, goods and services. Business investment returned, as firms spent more on equipment and software. Beginning with its June meeting, the Federal Reserve Board raised its target for the federal funds rate five times, moving from 1.00% to 2.25%, in 0.25% increments. As these short-term interest rate increases trickled through the economy, long-term interest rates were largely unaffected, ending the year slightly lower than where they began. Low mortgage rates helped the real estate industry turn in a stronger-than-expected performance. Rising energy costs, which had threatened to derail economic growth, subsided as oil prices declined late in the year. The U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 ® Index, produced returns of over 10%, better than many analysts had expected. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose more than 9%, despite declines in some large technology stocks. With interest rates remaining low, the bond market surprised many analysts, registering another year of solid returns.
All of the Allmerica Investment Trust funds achieved positive results in 2004, led by the Select Value Opportunity and Select Capital Appreciation Funds, which each gained over 18%. Bolstered by continued low interest rates, our fixed income funds delivered positive results for the year. The Select Investment Grade Income Fund gained almost 4%, while the Government Bond Fund rose more than 2%.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees,
(-s- John P. Kavanaugh)
John P. Kavanaugh
Chairman of the Board

Select Capital Appreciation Fund
The Select Capital Appreciation Fund returned 18.62% for 2004, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Index, which returned 20.23%.
After beginning the year on a strong note, stocks struggled to make headway as economic growth moderated amid rising short-term interest rates and surging energy costs. Mid-cap shares outperformed their larger counterparts, and value stocks outperformed growth. The Technology, Industrials and Business Services and Energy sectors aided relative performance. The fund’s technology holdings were good performers, driven by strong performances in communications and electronic equipment companies and in the fund’s software holdings. An underweight in Semiconductors benefited relative performance. Positions in McAfee and Veritas drove results in Software. Within communications equipment, Harris and Research In Motion were the best relative contributors. Employment Services, Logistics, Machinery and traditional Industrial stocks benefited relative results. Detractors from relative performance included the Health Care, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials sectors. Weak stock selection in Health Care Services and Biotechnology, and the fund’s positioning in generic pharmaceuticals, weighed on relative results. The Consumer Discretionary sector turned in a solid performance over the period, but questions about the sustainability of consumer spending hampered retailers. Leisure Equipment, Hotels, and Specialty Retailers were the fund’s best performers in the sector, though an underweight in Household Durables and Restaurants caused the sector to be a relative detractor. The fund’s holdings in Consumer Finance and Capital Markets detracted most from relative performance.
The Investment Sub-Adviser feels that growth stocks are attractively valued compared to historical averages and that the fund is well-positioned for the current environment. Going forward, the Investment Sub-Adviser believes that companies with consistent earnings and cash flow growth may be rewarded.

Select Value Opportunity Fund
The Select Value Opportunity Fund returned 19.35% for 2004, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index, which returned 21.57%.
Major contributors to performance during the year included Brascan Corporation, a manager of commercial real estate, Methanex Corporation, the leading producer of methanol, benefiting from strong worldwide demand, Lyondell Chemical, a petrochemical producer with expanding margins, Royal Caribbean Cruises, which benefited from improved consumer confidence and industry consolidation and Sierra Health Services, the dominant managed care company in Las Vegas. The top detractors included Conexant Systems, a fabless semiconductor company with deterioration in earnings power, Entercom Communications, an operator of radio stations and radio/broadcast advertising where business improvement was slower than expected, American Italian Pasta Company, whose sales volume was impacted by the greater than expected acceptance of low carbohydrate diets, CSK Auto Corporation, a retailer of automotive parts and accessories and A. O. Smith Corporation, a manufacturer of electric motors and water heaters pressured by higher raw material costs.
The Investment Sub-Adviser believes that the outlook for 2005 is reasonably balanced. The prospect of higher interest rates and a new level for oil prices may have a dampening effect on the economy as the year progresses, but the trade and budget deficits show signs of modest improvement and concerns over higher interest rates may diminish. As companies continue to build substantial liquidity positions, 2005 could become a notable year for capital redeployment via mergers and acquisitions, spin offs, large stock buybacks and meaningful dividend increases. The Investment Sub-Adviser believes that those management teams that are most thoughtful in the execution of these processes will provide the most rewarding returns to shareholders.

Select International Equity Fund
The Select International Equity Fund returned 14.47% for 2004, underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned 20.70%.
For the first three quarters of 2004, Bank of Ireland Asset Management (U.S.) Ltd. was the Investment Sub-Adviser of the fund. During this period, international returns were modest. An underweight to the Energy sector weighed on overall performance, as energy company shares rose along with the price of oil. The lackluster returns of Japanese stocks such as Nippon Telegraph & Telephone also eroded fund performance. Effective October 1, 2004, Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (GMO) and J .P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (J.P. Morgan) became Co-Sub-Advisers of the fund. International equities produced strong returns in the fourth quarter of 2004.
In the GMO portion of the fund, Financials and Utilities were the best performing sectors, while Energy and Health Care were the worst. Southern European markets generally performed best, while Hong Kong and Singapore lagged. The portfolio was hurt by its underweight in Australia and overweights in Japan and Southeast Asia. Energy holding OMV in Austria bucked the sector’s downturn, while not holding AstraZeneca detracted from performance. The Investment Sub-Adviser believes that the potential for positive economic surprises exists in Germany and Japan.
The J.P. Morgan portion of the fund underperformed in continental Europe, partly due to holding the weak oil stocks ENI and Total and the employment agency Adecco, which had a poor quarter. The fund outperformed in Japan, while in the United Kingdom, it benefited from stock selection in the Financials sector. The Investment Sub-Adviser believes that equities are most attractively valued outside the U.S., and that non-Japan Asia will have the fastest growth in 2005.

Select Growth Fund
The Select Growth Fund returned 7.44% for 2004, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 6.30%.
In the Jennison Associates LLC portion of the fund, Information Technology had the most significant positive impact on total return. Internet related companies such as Google and Yahoo! performed well, as did Apple. These strong performers more than offset weakness in Semiconductors, where several holdings including Intel and Texas Instruments produced negative returns. Strong stock selection in the Health Care sector also helped relative returns, as did an underweight position in major pharmaceuticals, which performed poorly. Consumer Staples companies such as Whole Foods, Costco and Avon added to relative returns, while an underweight position in Industrials and unfavorable stock selection in Financials hurt performance. Looking ahead, the Investment Sub-Adviser believes that the rate of earnings gains may slow, but remain positive, and that inflation will remain under control.
GE Asset Management Inc. (GE) replaced Putnam Investment Management, LLC as co-sub-adviser of the fund effective April 30, 2004. In the GE portion of the fund, the sectors driving outperformance for the year included Health Care, Consumer Staples, and Financials. United Health, Lincare, Johnson & Johnson and Dentsply aided performance, and the sole consumer staples holding, Gillette, outperformed its sector return. Financials sector companies SLM Corp. and American Express also performed well. The Information Technology and Industrials sectors were the primary negative contributors for the year. Information Technology concerns Intel, Cisco and Intuit were among the weaker performers, while the sole Industrials holding, Dover, trailed the sector return. The Investment Sub-Adviser feels that the fund remains well positioned for good relative performance in this environment.

Core Equity Fund
The Core Equity Fund returned 10.41% for 2004, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, which returned 11.39%.
In the Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. portion of the fund, the stocks of high-quality technology companies performed well. QUALCOMM, Inc., Dell, Inc., Yahoo, Inc. and eBay, Inc. all contributed positively. Consumer staples businesses such as PepsiCo, Inc., Avon Products, Inc. and Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. were also top performers. Exposure to the Media sector was a drag on performance. Clear Channel Communications, Inc. and Viacom, Inc. were weak, as companies exposed to the radio market underperformed. A combined underweight in the Energy and Cyclicals sectors also detracted from results. The Investment Sub-Adviser believes that a moderation in economic and profit growth may make high-quality companies more attractive, and enable the fund to outperform in 2005.
The UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. portion of the fund was overweight in the Financial and Health Care industries and underweight in Technology Hardware. The fund’s substantial underweight to technology hardware contributed positively to performance, as did avoiding richly valued regional banks. The fund’s overweight to health care negatively impacted performance, however stock selection within health care was solid, with holdings such as UnitedHealth Group and Johnson & Johnson among the largest positive contributors. Relative performance was hindered most of the year by the fund’s underweight exposure to Energy. Late in the period this position was rewarded, as oil prices subsided. The Investment Sub-Adviser intends to continue seeking out higher quality, fundamentally sound companies that have the potential for long-term growth and competitive risk-adjusted returns.

Equity Index Fund
The Equity Index Fund returned 10.32% for 2004, underperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500 ® Index, which returned 10.87%.
The U.S. stock markets showed little growth for the first ten months of the year, but after the elections in November, equities rebounded, finishing the year strongly. Among the sectors that outperformed within the S&P 500 ® Index were Internet Retail, Oil and Gas Refining, and Home Construction. Despite five increases in the federal funds rate in 2004, long-term interest rates declined, resulting in low mortgage rates, strong housing demand and increased home construction activity. Oil and gas refiners, the beneficiaries of escalating oil prices, provided solid equity returns. Established internet retail companies like ebay and Amazon benefited from increased consumer confidence in on-line shopping. Among the 2004 underperformers were the Semiconductor, Automotive, and Health Care sectors. The Semiconductor sector was hurt by declining orders and deteriorating fundamentals. The Big Three automobile companies saw declining sales and market share, which resulted in double-digit negative returns. Profitability of health care companies suffered due to a combination of bad debt, high supply costs, and a high national uninsured rate.
The Investment Sub-Adviser sees indications that the economy will continue to grow in 2005. An accommodative interest rate environment, modest inflation, strong productivity growth and an improving job market may continue to drive the expansion. Obstacles to growth include additional short-term interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve Board and a slowing housing market. The depreciating U.S. dollar and the large budget deficit may also hinder economic growth. However, as long as corporate profit growth continues, the Investment Sub-Adviser sees modest stock price gains in 2005.

Select Investment Grade Income Fund
The Select Investment Grade Income Fund returned 3.98% for 2004, underperforming its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 4.34%.
The bond market absorbed a great deal of bad news during the year, yet displayed an amazing resilience, as intermediate and long-term interest rates ended the year lower than where they started. Spread products, namely corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities, were major contributors to fund performance in 2004. The fund had about a 50% overweight in the Corporate Bond sector and approximately 10% underweight in the Mortgage-Backed Securities sector, relative to the benchmark. Based on the belief that the market was rich and that rates would increase, the Investment Sub-Adviser remained cautious on mortgage-backed securities throughout the year, constraining fund performance. The fund maintained an overweight to BBB-rated securities, the top performers in the Corporate sector, as improved fundamentals, investor demand for yield and a stabilization in downgrades pushed lower-rated securities ahead of higher-rated securities. The fund continued to have an overweight to the Energy sector and cyclical companies, which performed well throughout the year.
The Investment Sub-Adviser’s outlook for the economy in 2005 is for somewhat slower growth than that achieved in 2004 and for a fixed income market that is not terribly constructive. The risks to the markets appear formidable, with the threat of a currency crisis among the most worrisome, followed by the possibility of a large spike in inflation. Geopolitical risk, although still high, may be somewhat less of a factor going forward. The Investment Sub-Adviser remains committed to finding value for clients in all market settings, but also believes in setting realistic expectations.

Government Bond Fund
The Government Bond Fund returned 2.12% for 2004, underperforming its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government Bond Index, which returned 2.31%.
The bond market absorbed a great deal of bad news in 2004, yet displayed an amazing resilience. Intermediate and long-term interest rates ended the year lower than where they started, despite the Federal Reserve Board raising the target federal funds rate five times and the current account and budget deficits spiraling to record highs. For most of the year, the fund was positioned in anticipation of a flatter yield curve. In other words, the fund was positioned conservatively against a rise in short and intermediate-term interest rates. As the yield curve flattened in 2004, the barbell strategy in place helped the fund’s performance. This positioning against a flatter yield curve helped offset some of the underperformance from positioning the portfolio against a general rise in interest rates — a rise which only materialized in shorter maturities in 2004. The favorable behavior of spread products, in particular mortgage-backed securities, added to returns. In addition, the excess return provided by agency securities was beneficial to performance.
The Investment Sub-Adviser believes that the economy may slow somewhat in 2005. When coupled with a forecast for slightly higher inflation and a continuation of tighter monetary policy, the outlook for the fixed income market is not terribly constructive. The Investment Sub-Adviser believes that investments in spread product such as agency securities, asset-backed securities, and mortgage-backed securities may help the fund’s performance going forward. Maintaining a slightly shorter duration relative to the fund’s benchmark may also aid results if the Federal Reserve Board tightening cycle continues.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For information on the current month end performance of variable annuity and variable life insurance products, please call: (800) 533-7881. The performance data quoted is net of all fund operating expenses, but does not include variable insurance or variable annuity charges. If the performance data included the effect of these additional charges, it would have been lower.

Money Market Fund
The Money Market Fund returned 0.91% for 2004, outperforming its benchmark, the Money Fund Report Averages: First Tier Taxable, which returned 0.66%.
At the start of the year, the money markets were rather muted, with little volatility and a less-than-clear picture of the Federal Reserve Board’s intentions regarding interest rate movements. However, after the March job creation number came in at over double the estimate, the Federal Reserve Board began the process of raising the target federal funds rate a total of five times, to 2.25%. Despite these actions, long-term bond yields actually ended the year lower, because of minimal inflationary concerns and block buying of U.S. Treasury securities by foreign central banks. The fund’s outperformance to its benchmark can be attributed to a slightly longer average maturity at the start of the year, when interest rates were flat, and a shorter average maturity toward the end of the year, when interest rates started to rise. The short average maturity of the portfolio in the second half of the year provided excess yield over longer average maturity funds when the Federal Reserve Board started raising interest rates. Further, a sizable concentration in floating-rate notes, which offer incremental yield over straight debt and reset frequently, helped performance since their yields rise as overall yield levels rise.
The Investment Sub-Adviser’s outlook for the money markets in 2005 is positive. The likelihood of continued interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve Board may lead to higher yields earned by money market funds and their investors. The Investment Sub-Adviser’s strategy will be to maintain a relatively short average maturity, in order to turn the portfolio over naturally and continually take advantage of each interest rate hike.
The comments above are based on information provided by the Investment Sub-Adviser for the period indicated.

Allmerica Investment Trust
EXPENSE EXAMPLES 12/31/04 (Unaudited)
You do not own shares of any Fund of the Allmerica Investment Trust directly. As a contract/policy owner investing in a Fund, you incur ongoing expenses, such as management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004.
Actual Expenses
The first line under each Fund in the table below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line under each Fund in the table below provides information about the hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing expenses of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any costs or expenses that apply to the subaccount or the contract. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing expenses of each Fund only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds underlying various annuity contracts and/or life insurance policies. In addition, if the costs or expenses that apply to the subaccount or the contract were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1)   Effective January 1, 2001 the Select Investment Grade Income Fund and Government Bond Fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and are amortizing premium and discount on debt securities using the daily effective yield method. The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2001 was a decrease in net investment income per share by $0.003 for Select Investment Grade Income Fund and a decrease in net investment income per share by $0.007 for Government Bond Fund, an increase in net realized and unrealized gains and losses per share by $0.003 for Select Investment Grade Income Fund and an increase in net realized and unrealized gains and losses per share by $0.007 for Government Bond Fund and a decrease in the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 6.04% to 5.79% for Select Investment Grade Income Fund and a decrease in the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 5.16% to 4.52% for Government Bond Fund. Per share data and ratio/supplemental data for periods prior to January 1, 2001 have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation.
 
(2)   Net investment income (loss) per share before reimbursement of fees by the investment advisor was $0.028 in 2003 and $0.029 in 2001 for Equity Index Fund.
 
(3)   Investment income per share reflects a special dividend which amounted to $0.008 per share for Equity Index Fund.
 
(4)   The amount shown for a share outstanding does not correspond with the aggregate net gain on investments for the period due to the timing of sales and repurchases of Portfolio shares in relation to the fluctuating market values of the investments of the Portfolio.
 
(5)   Computed using average shares outstanding throughout the period.
 
(6)   Distributions from net realized gains are less than $.0005.

Allmerica Investment Trust
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
Allmerica Investment Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end, diversified management investment company established as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is intended to serve as an investment medium for (i) variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts offered by insurance companies, (ii) certain qualified pension and retirement plans, as permitted by Treasury Regulations; and (iii) life insurance companies and advisers to the Portfolios and their affiliates. Allmerica Financial Corporation (“AFC”) has ceased all new sales of proprietary variable annuities and life insurance products. The Trust is comprised of nine managed investment portfolios. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights are those of the Select Capital Appreciation, Select Value Opportunity, Select International Equity, Select Growth, Core Equity, Equity Index, Select Investment Grade Income, Government Bond and Money Market Funds (individually a “Portfolio”, collectively, the “Portfolios”).
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
Security Valuation: Equity securities which are traded on a recognized exchange (other than Nasdaq) are valued at the last quoted sales price available at the time of the closing of the New York Stock Exchange or, if there were no sales that day, at the mean of the closing bid and asked price. Securities listed or traded on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq official closing price. Over-the-counter securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last available price in the market prior to the time of valuation. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges generally are valued at the closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges. Corporate debt securities and debt securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies (other than short-term investments) are valued by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees which utilizes market quotations and transactions, quotations from dealers and various relationships among securities in determining value. If not valued by a pricing service, such securities are valued at prices obtained from independent brokers. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security’s valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. The investments of the Money Market Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method, permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: The Select Capital Appreciation, Select International Equity and Select Growth Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts whereby the Portfolios agree to exchange a specific currency at a specific price at a future date in an attempt to hedge against fluctuations in the value of the underlying currency of certain portfolio instruments. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the daily forward exchange rate of the underlying currency with any fluctuations recorded as unrealized gains or losses. Gains or losses on the purchase or sale of forward foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker are realized on the date of offset, otherwise gains and losses are realized on the settlement date.

F-44


 

Allmerica Investment Trust
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Portfolios, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency contracts used for hedging purposes limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Portfolios could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts.
Foreign Currency Translation: Investment valuations, other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investments and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars based upon exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains or losses on sales and maturities of foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference between the amount of net investment income and withholding taxes accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received and paid, and gains or losses between the trade and settlement date on the purchases and sales of the securities. That portion of unrealized gains or losses on investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on securities, is accrued daily. Income distributions earned by the Portfolios from investments in certain investment companies are recorded as interest income in the accompanying financial statements. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Portfolios are informed of the ex-dividend date.
Federal Income Taxes: The Trust treats each Portfolio as a separate entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By so qualifying, each Portfolio will not be subject to Federal income taxes to the extent it distributes all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, for its fiscal year. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, each Portfolio will not be subject to Federal excise tax. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required. Withholding taxes on foreign dividend income and gains have been paid or provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income are declared and reinvested daily for the Money Market Fund, declared, distributed and reinvested quarterly for the Core Equity, Equity Index, Select Investment Grade Income and Government Bond Funds, and annually for the Select Capital Appreciation, Select Value Opportunity, Select International Equity and Select Growth Funds. All Portfolios declare and distribute all net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Differences between book basis and tax basis amounts are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition of gains or losses, including “Post-October Losses”, foreign currency gains and losses, gains and losses on futures contracts, and losses deferred due to wash sales and differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, paydown gains/losses on certain securities, capital loss carryforwards, return of capital on real estate investment trust holdings, net operating losses, amortization of premium and market discount, and non-taxable dividends. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in ending undistributed net investment income for the purpose of calculating net investment income per share in the Financial Highlights, as applicable.
Futures Contracts: All Portfolios, except the Money Market Fund, may use futures contracts to manage their exposure to the stock and bond markets and to fluctuations in interest rates and currency values. Buying futures tends to increase a Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other portfolio investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin, if any, reflected in each applicable Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in each applicable Portfolio’s portfolio of investments. The face amount reflects each contract’s exposure to the underlying instrument at period end.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the terms of the contracts. Gains and 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.
Securities Lending: Each Portfolio, using Investors Bank & Trust Company (“IBT”) as its lending agent, may loan securities to brokers and dealers in exchange for negotiated lenders’ fees. These fees are disclosed as “Securities lending income” in the Statements of Operations. Each applicable Portfolio receives 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. Collateral received is generally cash, and is invested in short-term investments. Lending portfolio securities involves possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the counterparty (borrower) not meet its obligations under the terms of the loan. Information regarding the value of the securities loaned and the value of the collateral at period end is included in a footnote at the end of each applicable Portfolio’s portfolio of investments.
Cash Accounts: From time to time the Portfolios may leave cash overnight in their account. IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Portfolios to sweep these monies into a demand note account, which will pay interest equal to 75% of that day’s U.S. Treasury Bill rate back to the Portfolios.
Expenses: Expenses directly attributed to a portfolio are charged to the portfolio, while expenses which are attributable to more than one portfolio of the Trust are allocated based upon relative net assets among the respective Portfolios and one other affiliated investment company, Allmerica Securities Trust.
Forward Commitments: The Select Capital Appreciation, Select Investment Grade Income, Government Bond, and Money Market Funds may enter into contracts to purchase securities for a fixed price at a specified future date beyond customary settlement time (“forward commitments”). If the Portfolios do so, they will maintain cash or other liquid obligations having a value in an amount at all times sufficient to meet the purchase price. Forward commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date. Although the Portfolios generally will enter into forward commitments with the intention of acquiring securities for their portfolios, they may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if their Sub-Adviser deems it appropriate to do so.
Options: All Portfolios, except the Money Market Fund, may use options to manage its exposure to the stock and bond markets and to fluctuations in interest rates. Writing puts and buying calls tend to increase a Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying security. Buying puts and writing calls tend to decrease a Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying security. When a Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against the amounts paid on the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. Realized gains and losses on written options are included in realized gains and losses on securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying securities, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or if the counterparties do not perform under the terms of the contracts. Exchange-traded options are valued using the last sale price or, if there were no sales that day, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued using dealer-supplied valuations.
Repurchase Agreements: Each Portfolio may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Sub-Adviser has determined are creditworthy pursuant to guidelines established by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Each Portfolio requires that the securities purchased in a repurchase agreement transaction be transferred to the Trust’s Custodian in a manner that is intended to enable the Portfolio to obtain those securities in the event of a counterparty default. The Sub-Adviser monitors the value of the securities, including accrued interest, daily to ensure that the value of the collateral equals or exceeds amounts due under the repurchase agreement. Repurchase agreement transactions involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon the Portfolio’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities, and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Portfolio seeks to assert its rights.

Plan of Distribution and Service: The 12b-1 Plan permits the Portfolios to pay Allmerica Financial and First Allmerica for marketing and distribution expenses to support the sale and distribution of the Portfolios’ shares and the provision of services to maintain and retain accounts. The 12b-1 Plan authorizes payment of a distribution and service fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets. As directed by the Board of Trustees, each Portfolio pays a distribution fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets.

Trustees who are not directors, officers or employees of the Trust or any investment adviser are reimbursed for their travel expenses in attending meetings of the Trustees, and receive quarterly meeting and retainer fees for their services. Such amounts are paid by the Trust.

5. REDUCTION OF EXPENSES
Certain Portfolios have entered into agreements with brokers whereby the brokers will rebate a portion of brokerage commissions. Such amounts earned by the Portfolios, under such agreements, are presented as a reduction of expenses in the Statements of Operations.
6. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Trust’s Declaration of Trust authorizes the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest for the Portfolios, each without a par value.
7. FOREIGN SECURITIES AND EMERGING MARKETS
All Portfolios except the Government Bond Fund may purchase securities of foreign issuers. The Money Market Fund may invest in only U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities. Investing in foreign securities involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. issuers.
Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the developed markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls, subject to delayed settlements, and their prices more volatile than those of comparable securities in the United States.
8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Investing in certain financial instruments including futures and options transactions, and forward foreign currency contracts involves risks other than those reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks associated with these instruments include the potential for an imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates, an illiquid secondary market for the instruments or inability of counterparties to perform under terms of the contracts, and changes in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The Select Capital Appreciation, Select International Equity and Select Growth Funds may enter into these forward contracts primarily to protect the Portfolio from adverse currency movement.
9. REORGANIZATIONS
Pursuant to separate Agreements and Plans of Reorganization (“Reorganizations”) approved by the Board of Trustees on January 7, 2003 and then approved by shareholders on March 27, 2003, each of the following Acquired Funds of the Trust were reorganized into the respective Acquiring Funds of the Trust after the close of business on the effective date shown. Each Reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of all of the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund for shares of the Acquiring Fund and by the distribution of such shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund, in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund. The reorganizations qualified as tax-free reorganizations for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the Portfolios or the separate account level of shares.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Allmerica Investment Trust
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments (except for Moody’s and S&P Ratings and Concentration of Investments tables), and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Select Capital Appreciation Fund, Select Value Opportunity Fund, Select International Equity Fund, Select Growth Fund, Core Equity Fund, Equity Index Fund, Select Investment Grade Income Fund, Government Bond Fund and Money Market Fund (constituting the Allmerica Investment Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Trust”) at December 31, 2004, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Trust’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
