LETTER FROM THE CEO


Dear Shareholders,

It has been said that change is the only constant in life. As investors have seen, that theme is still accurate today as we recently have experienced shifting economic cycles because of natural disasters and political instability around the globe.

Markets worldwide have fluctuated in the past year as devastating hurricanes had a dramatic effect on the international economy, particularly on oil prices. We
witnessed political unrest in the Middle East, highlighted by instability in Iraq, and in Africa, the usually stable Nigeria also experienced violence. As a result, energy prices have bounced up and down, with crude oil prices at one point topping a record $70 per barrel.

Such cycles are not uncommon and in fact have almost become the norm in our everyday lives. What does all of this mean to you as an investor? In times like these, it helps to know that you’re working with a seasoned investment professional who has experience to guide you through difficult times. At MFS®, we believe our investment management team has the knowledge and confidence to navigate through difficult cycles and at the same time see through adversity to find investment opportunities for our clients and shareholders.

Our investment management process, honed over 80 years, combines a unique concept of teamwork with our unwavering focus on the long term. We firmly believe that the best way to realize long-term financial goals – be it a college education, a comfortable retirement, or a secure family legacy – is to follow a three-pronged approach that focuses on longer time horizons. Allocate holdings across the major asset classes – including stocks, bonds, and cash. Diversify within each class to take advantage of different market segments and investing styles. Rebalance assets regularly to maintain a desired asset allocation. Of course, these strategies cannot guarantee a profit or protect against a loss. This long-term approach requires diligence and patience, two traits that in our experience are essential to capitalizing on the many opportunities the financial markets can offer – through both up and down economic cycles.

Respectfully,


Robert J. Manning

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer

EXPENSE TABLE

Fund Expenses Borne by the Shareholders During the Period,
September 1, 2005 through February 28, 2006.

As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on certain purchase or redemption payments and redemption fees on certain exchanges and redemptions, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period September 1, 2005 through February 28, 2006.

Actual Expenses

The first line for each share class in the following table provides information about 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 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 for each share class in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the 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 costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Hypothetical (h)  0.89%  $1,000.00  $1,020.38  $4.46 

(h) 5% class return per year before expenses.
(p) Expenses paid is equal to each class’ annualized expense ratio, as shown above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period, divided by the number of days in the year. Expenses paid do not include any applicable sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Effective January 1, 2006 the contractual fee arrangement (as described in Note 3 of the Notes to the Financial Statements) with respect to the fund’s Class A, Class C, and Class I operating expenses changed. Had this fee arrangement been in effect throughout the entire six month period, the annualized expense ratio would have been 1.33%, 2.08%, and 1.09% for Class A, Class C, and Class I, respectively, and the actual expenses paid during the period would have been approximately $6.66, $10.41, and $5.46 for Class A, Class C, and Class I, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(1) Business and Organization

MFS Floating Rate High Income Fund (the fund) is a series of MFS Series Trust X (the trust). The trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

General – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The fund can invest up to 100% of its portfolio in high-yield loans and other debt securities rated below investment grade. Investments in high-yield loans and securities involve greater degrees of credit and market risk than investments in higher-rated loans and securities and tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions. The fund can invest in foreign securities. Investments in foreign securities are vulnerable to the effects of changes in the relative values of the local currency and the U.S. dollar and to the effects of changes in each country’s legal, political, and economic environment.

Investment Valuations – Debt instruments (other than short-term instruments), including restricted debt instruments, are generally valued at an evaluated bid price as reported by an independent pricing service. Values of debt instruments obtained from pricing services can utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques which take into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term instruments with a maturity at issuance of 365 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities and other assets generally valued on the basis of information from an independent pricing service may also be valued on the basis of information from brokers and dealers. When pricing-service information or market quotations are not readily available, securities are priced at fair value as determined under the direction of the Board of Trustees.

Repurchase Agreements – The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. The fund requires that the securities collateral in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. The fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure that its value, including accrued interest, is greater than amounts owed to the fund under each such repurchase agreement. The fund, along with other affiliated entities of Massachusetts Financial Services Company (MFS), may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) – continued

Short Term Fees – For purchases made on or after July 1, 2004 and before April 1, 2005, the fund charged a 2% redemption fee (which was retained by the fund) on proceeds from Class A, Class C, and Class I shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 calendar days following their acquisition (either by purchase or exchange). Effective April 1, 2005, the fund charges a 1% redemption fee on proceeds from Class A, Class C, and Class I shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 calendar days following their acquisition. The fund may change the redemption fee period in the future, including in connection with Securities and Exchange Commission rule developments. See the fund’s prospectus for details. Any redemption fees are accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.

Investment Transactions and Income – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premium and discount is amortized or accreted for financial statement purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All discount is accreted for tax reporting purposes as required by federal income tax regulations. The fund earns certain fees in connection with its floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, commitment fees, consent fees, and prepayment fees. These fees are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements which are recorded on an accrual basis. The fund may receive proceeds from litigation settlements involving its portfolio holdings. Any proceeds received are reflected in realized gain/loss in the Statement of Operations, or in unrealized gain/loss if the security is still held by the fund.

Fees Paid Indirectly – The fund’s custody fee is reduced according to an arrangement that measures the value of cash deposited with the custodian by the fund. This amount, for the six months ended February 28, 2006, is shown as a reduction of total expenses on the Statement of Operations.

Tax Matters and Distributions – The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is required in the financial statements. Foreign taxes, if any, have been accrued by the fund in the accompanying financial statements.

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Certain capital accounts in the financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share. Temporary differences which arise from recognizing certain items of income, expense, gain or loss in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes will reverse at some time in the future. Distributions in excess of net investment income or net realized gains are temporary overdistributions for financial statement purposes resulting from differences in the recognition or

SEMIANNUAL REPORT 21

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) – continued

classification of income for financial statement and tax purposes. Book/tax differences primarily relate to amortization and accretion of debt securities. The tax character of distributions declared to shareholders is as follows:

    August 31, 2005 
Ordinary income    $1,054,925 

The federal tax cost and the tax basis components of distributable earnings were as follows:

As of February 28, 2006     
Cost of investments(1)    $167,401,472 

Gross appreciation    $718,080 
Gross depreciation    (114,075) 

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)    $604,005 
As of August 31, 2005     
Undistributed ordinary income    $329,749 
Other temporary differences    (226,967) 
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)    453,943 

(1) Aggregate cost includes prior fiscal year end tax adjustments.

Multiple Classes of Shares of Beneficial Interest – The fund offers multiple classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the fund based on the value of settled shares outstanding of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. Differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

(3) Transactions with Affiliates

Investment Adviser – The fund has an investment advisory agreement with Massachusetts Financial Services Company (MFS) to provide overall investment advisory and administrative services, and general office facilities.

The management fee is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.65% of the fund’s average daily net assets.

The investment adviser has contractually agreed to pay a portion of the fund’s operating expenses, exclusive of management, distribution and service, and certain other fees and expenses, such that operating expenses do not exceed the following annual rates based on average daily net assets:

0.10% for the period April 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005
0.40% for the period January 1, 2006 through March 31, 2006
0.20% for the period April 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006

For the six months ended February 28, 2006, this reduction amounted to $207,726 and is reflected as a reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Distributor – MFS Fund Distributors, Inc. (MFD), a wholly owned subsidiary of MFS, as distributor, received $15,538 for the six months ended

22 SEMIANNUAL REPORT

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) – continued

February 28, 2006, as its portion of the initial sales charge on sales of Class A shares of the fund.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a distribution plan for certain class shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

The fund’s distribution plan provides that the fund will pay MFD for services provided by MFD and financial intermediaries in connection with the distribution and servicing of certain share classes. One component of the plan is a distribution fee paid to MFD and another component of the plan is a service fee paid to MFD. MFD may subsequently pay all, or a portion, of the distribution and/or service fees to financial intermediaries.

            Total    Annual    Distribution

Class C    0.75%    0.25%    1.00%    1.00%    91,355 

Total Distribution and Service Fees                $190,709 

(1) In accordance with the distribution plan for certain classes, the fund pays distribution and/or service fees up to these annual percentage rates of each class’ average daily net assets.
(2) The annual effective rates represent actual fees incurred under the distribution plan for the six months ended February 28, 2006 based on each class’ average daily net assets. Payment of the 0.10% annual Class A distribution fee is not yet implemented and will commence on such date as the fund’s Board of Trustees may determine.
 

Certain Class A and Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge in the event of a shareholder redemption within 12 months of purchase. All contingent deferred sales charges are paid to MFD and during the six months ended February 28, 2006, were as follows:

    Amount 
Class A    $10,022 
Class C    $8,207 

Shareholder Servicing Agent – The fund pays a portion of shareholder servicing costs to MFS Service Center, Inc. (MFSC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MFS. MFSC receives a fee from the fund, for its services as shareholder servicing agent, set periodically under the supervision of the fund’s Board of Trustees. For the six months ended February 28, 2006, the fee was $52,586, which equated to 0.0967% annually of the fund’s average daily net assets. MFSC also receives payment from the fund for out-of-pocket and sub-accounting expenses paid by MFSC on behalf of the fund. For the six months ended February 28, 2006, these costs amounted to $14,614.

Administrator – MFS provides certain financial, legal, shareholder communications, compliance, and other administrative services to certain funds for which MFS acts as investment adviser. Under an administrative services agreement, the funds may partially reimburse MFS the costs incurred to provide these services, subject to review and approval by the Board of Trustees. Each fund is charged a fixed amount plus a fee based on calendar year average net assets. Effective July 1, 2005, the fund’s annual fixed amount

SEMIANNUAL REPORT 23

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) – continued

is $10,000. The administrative services fee incurred for the six months ended February 28, 2006 was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.0181% of the fund’s average daily net assets.

Trustees’ and Officers’ Compensation – The fund pays compensation to Independent Trustees in the form of a retainer, attendance fees, and additional compensation to Board and Committee chairpersons. The fund does not pay compensation directly to Trustees who are officers of the investment adviser, or to officers of the fund, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the fund from MFS. Certain officers and Trustees of the fund are officers or directors of MFS, MFD, and MFSC.

Other – This fund and certain other MFS funds (the funds) have entered into a services agreement (the Agreement) which provides for payment of fees by the funds to Tarantino LLC in return for the provision of services of an Independent Chief Compliance Officer (ICCO) for the funds. The ICCO is an officer of the funds and the sole member of Tarantino LLC. The funds can terminate the Agreement with Tarantino LLC at any time under the terms of the Agreement. For the six months ended February 28, 2006, the fee paid to Tarantino LLC was $351. MFS has agreed to reimburse the fund for a portion of the payments made by the funds to Tarantino LLC in the amount of $280, which is shown as a reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations. Additionally, MFS has agreed to bear all expenses associated with office space, other administrative support, and supplies provided to the ICCO.

(6) Line of Credit

The fund and other affiliated funds participate in a $1 billion unsecured line of credit provided by a syndication of banks under a credit agreement. Borrowings may be made for temporary financing needs. Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the Federal Reserve funds rate plus 0.35% . In addition, a commitment fee, based on the average daily, unused portion of the line of credit, is allocated among the participating funds at the end of each calendar quarter. The commitment fee allocated to the fund for the six months ended February 28, 2006 was $341, and is included in miscellaneous expense on the Statement of Operations. The fund had no significant borrowings during the six months ended February 28, 2006.

(7) Restricted Securities

The fund may invest in loans that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.

(8) Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments

The fund may invest in loans and loan participations or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities, that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments. The ability of the issuers of the loans to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry.
