Performance

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Morgan Stanley Asia-Pacific Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") had total returns of 4.36%, based on net asset value, and 4.67% based on market value per share (including reinvestment of distributions), compared to its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country Asia Pacific Index (the "Index")*, which returned 2.26%. On June 30, 2013, the closing price of the Fund's shares on the New York Stock Exchange was $15.68, representing a 12.6% discount to the Fund's net asset value per share. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Factors Affecting Performance

•  Over the six-month period ending June 30, 2013, the Index underperformed developed markets (represented by the MSCI EAFE Index), which rose 4.1%, and but outperformed global emerging markets (represented by MSCI Emerging Markets Index), which returned -9.6%. Variances in market returns in the Asia Pacific region continued to widen. Japan rose 16.6%, followed by the emerging Southeast Asian markets in the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, each rising 8.2%, 5.7% and 5.3%, respectively. On the other hand, markets such as Korea, China, India and Australia ended the period in the red, returning -13.0%, -11.0%, -8.0% and -6.1%, respectively.

•  Renewed risk appetite was clearly evident in the Japanese equity market, as we saw the MSCI Japan Index achieve its strongest quarter since September 2005 and its strongest first quarter of the year since March 1988. Investors responded positively to the appointment of the new central bank governor and the cabinet approval of a large-scale economic stimulus package and a weaker yen. However, concerns of a possible withdrawal of monetary stimulus by the Federal Reserve (Fed) and an economic slowdown in China reversed global risk appetite resulting in a sharp correction mid-way through the second quarter of the year. However, the market rallied again and the Japanese stock market had the strongest performance year-to-date in the developed markets.

•  The Bank of Japan (BOJ) confirmed its commitment to unorthodox and very easy monetary policy, which added to the continued sense of optimism and expectation of change in Japan that benefited companies in the portfolio. Markets were underwhelmed by the third arrow of "Abenomics," aimed at structural improvements to the economy necessary for longer-term growth. However, it is perhaps too early to judge the effectiveness of Abenomics, as initial signs (including rising inflation and wage growth) indicate an improvement in the economy.

•  For the rest of Asia, what began as rhetoric from the fourth quarter of 2012 came to fruition with the launch of BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda's initiatives in the first quarter of 2013, which are intended to double the country's monetary base with large quantitative easing across the spectrum of Japanese government bonds (JGB) and includes yield curve and inflation targeting. These initiatives led to yen depreciation. This was not necessarily all negative for Asia — for those economies that consume a lot of Japanese products and run a trade deficit with Japan, this made Japanese goods cheaper and improved liquidity through an improving trade balance. Also stronger growth in the region's second largest economy was positive for the global growth outlook. However, from a market perspective, Japan pulled fund flows out of Asia, especially North Asian markets such as Korea, Taiwan, China and Hong Kong. Korea's market took the brunt of the impact from a weakening Japanese yen, as the competitiveness of

Korea's export sector, which represents a significant portion of the economy as well as the stock market, suffered. While we see little direct competition in the technology industry, the automobile and machinery industries were the hardest hit.

•  Although economic fundamentals were relatively unchanged for most Asia Pacific ex-Japan economies, most markets across the region suffered a correction largely due to external concerns regarding Fed tapering and currency weakness.

•  For the reporting period, the Fund outperformed the Index. Overall, both country allocation and stock selection contributed to relative performance.

•  From a top-down perspective, the portfolio's underweight exposure to Australia, China and Singapore contributed to country allocation, as did overweight exposure to Japan and the Philippines. However, an overweight exposure to Korea and underweight bias to India were relative detractors in the portfolio.

•  From a bottom-up perspective, active stock positions in Japan (overweight financials and underweight utilities and industrials), Korea (overweight consumer discretionary, telecommunication services), China (overweight internet software and services, underweight energy), Malaysia (overweight real estate) and India (overweight consumer staples and private sector banks) boosted performance, while stock selection in Indonesia (overweight telecommunication services and energy) was a detractor.

Management Strategies

•  In terms of positioning, we are overweight in Japan, Philippines, Korea, Indonesia, India and Thailand in the portfolio, and underweight in Australia, China/Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.**

•  In Japan, investors took the view that the various aggressive and expansionary policies announced by the government and the BOJ have a good chance of ending deflation and boosting economic activity. This real sense of optimism and expectation of change in Japan helped to push up equity prices. However, corporate earnings are still below pre-financial crisis levels, so we believe there is considerable scope for further recovery in earnings and stock prices.

•  July's upper house parliamentary election (after the close of the reporting period) could pave the way for a stable administration, which can provide further policy announcements for the market to assess, and in turn will decide the level of investor optimism toward Japan. We are optimistic about fundamentals, which remain favorable, in our opinion. Business confidence is at an all-time high and the earnings outlook is expected to expand.

•  Outside of Japan, Asian and emerging markets equities have been facing pressure as the largest economies are slowing and investors are adjusting their expectations to this leadership churn. The so-called BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China) and South Africa have been experiencing economic decline since 2008 and the performance of their respective markets has also been trending lower. China's slowdown is natural after such a long period of double-digit growth and a rapid rise in income per capita to what is now middle-income levels by emerging market standards. China has a large debt problem that is still not fully

appreciated by investors. Rapid domestic debt expansion since the global financial crisis has led China to accumulate a debt-to-gross domestic product (GDP) level of some 200%, which is burdensome considering its per capita GDP of roughly $6,000.

•  We believe that Asian valuations are now at attractive levels and the cyclical improvements, while not as strong as market hopes, may continue to play out over the next six to 12 months. Our 12-month outlook is positive. We believe that Asia remains an attractive asset class relative to other regions, especially at these valuation levels, and despite our relatively cautious short-term market outlook, we may see a cyclical re-rating with earnings coming through in the near-term.

Sincerely,

Arthur Lev
President and Principal Executive Officer  July 2013

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (unaudited)

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser (as defined herein) under the advisory agreement, including portfolio management, investment research and equity and fixed income securities trading. The Board reviewed similar information and factors regarding the Sub-Advisers (as defined herein), to the extent applicable. The Board also reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services provided by the Fund's Adviser under the administration agreement, including accounting, clerical, bookkeeping, compliance, business management and planning, and the provision of supplies, office space and utilities at the Adviser's expense. (The Adviser and Sub-Advisers together are referred to as the "Adviser" and the advisory, sub-advisory and administration agreements together are referred to as the "Management Agreement.") The Board also compared the nature of the services provided by the Adviser with similar services provided by non-affiliated advisers as reported to the Board by Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper").

The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers, the senior administrative managers and other key personnel of the Adviser who provide the administrative and advisory services to the Fund. The Board determined that the Adviser's portfolio managers and key personnel are well qualified by education and/or training and experience to perform the services in an efficient and professional manner. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the advisory and administrative services provided were necessary and appropriate for the conduct of the business and investment activities of the Fund and supported its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The Board reviewed the performance, fees and expenses of the Fund compared to its peers, as determined by Lipper, and to appropriate benchmarks where applicable. The Board discussed with the Adviser the performance goals and the actual results achieved in managing the Fund. When considering a fund's performance, the Board and the Adviser place emphasis on trends and longer-term returns (focusing on one-year, three-year and five-year performance, as of December 31, 2012, or since inception, as applicable). When a fund underperforms its benchmark and/or its peer group average, the Board and the Adviser discuss the causes of such underperformance and, where necessary, they discuss specific changes to investment strategy or investment personnel. The Board noted that the Fund's performance was better than its peer group average for the five-year period but below its peer group average for the one- and three-year periods. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the five-year period but underperformed for the one- and three-year periods. The Board discussed with the Adviser the level of the advisory and administration fees (together, the "management fee") for this Fund relative to comparable funds and/or other accounts advised by the Adviser and/or compared to its peers as determined by Lipper. In addition to the management fee, the Board also reviewed the Fund's total expense ratio. When a fund's management fee and/or its total expense ratio are higher than its peers, the Board and the Adviser discuss the reasons for this and, where appropriate, they discuss possible waivers and/or caps. The Board noted that while the management fee was higher than its peer group average, the total expense ratio was lower than its peer group average. After discussion, the Board concluded that the Fund's (i) performance was acceptable, (ii) management fee was acceptable, and (iii) total expense ratio was competitive with its peer group average.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered the size and growth prospects of the Fund and how that relates to the Fund's total expense ratio and particularly the Fund's management fee rate, which does not include breakpoints. In conjunction with its review of the Adviser's profitability, the Board discussed with the Adviser how a change in assets can affect the efficiency or effectiveness of managing the Fund and whether the management fee level is appropriate relative to current and projected asset levels and/or whether the management fee structure reflects economies of scale as asset levels change. The Board considered that, with respect to closed-end funds, the assets are not likely to grow with new sales or grow significantly as a result of capital appreciation. The Board concluded that economies of scale for the Fund were not a factor that needed to be considered at the present time.

Profitability of the Adviser and Affiliates

The Board considered information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates during the last year from their relationship with the Fund and during the last two years from their relationship with the Morgan Stanley Fund Complex and reviewed with the Adviser the cost allocation methodology used to determine the profitability of the Adviser and affiliates. The Board has determined that its review of the analysis of the Adviser's expenses and profitability supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

Other Benefits of the Relationship

The Board considered other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates derived from their relationship with the Fund and other funds advised by the Adviser. These benefits may include, among other things, "float" benefits derived from handling of checks for purchases and sales, research received by the Adviser generated from commission dollars spent on funds' portfolio trading and fees for distribution and/or shareholder servicing. The Board reviewed with the Adviser each of these arrangements and the reasonableness of the Adviser's costs relative to the services performed. The Board has determined that its review of the other benefits received by the Adviser or its affiliates supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

Resources of the Adviser and Historical Relationship Between the Fund and the Adviser

The Board considered whether the Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered the historical relationship between the Fund and the Adviser, including the organizational structure of the Adviser, the policies and procedures formulated and adopted by the Adviser for managing the Fund's operations and the Board's confidence in the competence and integrity of the senior managers and key personnel of the Adviser. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Management Agreement and that it is beneficial for the Fund to continue its relationship with the Adviser.

Other Factors and Current Trends

The Board considered the controls and procedures adopted and implemented by the Adviser and monitored by the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer and concluded that the conduct of business by the Adviser indicates a good faith effort on its part to adhere to high ethical standards in the conduct of the Fund's business.

General Conclusion

After considering and weighing all of the above factors, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve renewal of the Management Agreement for another year. In reaching this conclusion the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor referenced above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, some of which were in executive session with only the independent Board members and their counsel present. It is possible that individual Board members may have weighed these factors differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the Management Agreement.

Morgan Stanley Asia-Pacific Fund, Inc.

June 30, 2013

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

The Morgan Stanley Asia-Pacific Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated in Maryland on February 28, 1994, and is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"). The Fund's investment objective is long-term capital appreciation through investments primarily in equity securities of Asian-Pacific issuers and in debt securities issued or guaranteed by Asian Pacific governments or governmental entities. To the extent that the Fund invests in derivative instruments that the adviser, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the "Adviser") and sub-advisers, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Company ("MSIM Company") and Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited ("MSIM Limited") (together, the "Sub-Advisers"), believe have economic characteristics similar to equity securities of Asian-Pacific issuers and in debt securities issued or guaranteed by Asian Pacific governments or governmental entities, such investments will be counted for purposes of the Fund's policy in the previous sentence. To the extent the Fund makes such investments, the Fund will be subject to the risks of such derivative instruments as described herein.

A.  Significant Accounting Policies: The following significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Such policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. GAAP may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

1.  Security Valuation: (1) An equity portfolio security listed or traded on an exchange is valued at its latest reported sales price (or at the exchange official closing price if such exchange reports an official closing price), if there were no sales on a given day, the security is valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices; (2) all other equity portfolio securities for which over-the-counter

market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices. In cases where a security is traded on more than one exchange, the security is valued on the exchange designated as the primary market; (3) when market quotations are not readily available, including circumstances under which the Adviser determines that the closing price, last sale price or the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices are not reflective of a security's market value, portfolio securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Fund's Board of Directors (the "Directors"). Occasionally, developments affecting the closing prices of securities and other assets may occur between the times at which valuations of such securities are determined (that is, close of the foreign market on which the securities trade) and the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). If developments occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, such valuations may be adjusted to reflect the estimated fair value of such securities as of the close of the NYSE, as determined in good faith by the Directors or by the Adviser using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Directors; (4) quotations of foreign portfolio securities, other assets and liabilities and forward contracts stated in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollar equivalents at the prevailing market rates prior to the close of the NYSE; (5) investments in mutual funds, including the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds, are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day; and (6) short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost, unless the Adviser determines such valuation does not reflect the securities' market value, in which case these securities will be valued at their fair market value determined by the Adviser.

Morgan Stanley Asia-Pacific Fund, Inc.

June 30, 2013

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont'd)

  Under procedures approved by the Directors, the Fund's Adviser has formed a Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee provides administration and oversight of the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, which are reviewed at least annually by the Directors. These procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers, and other market sources to determine fair value.

  The Fund has procedures to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available. Under these procedures, the Valuation Committee convenes on a regular and ad hoc basis to review such securities and considers a number of factors, including valuation methodologies and significant unobservable valuation inputs, when arriving at fair value. The Valuation Committee may employ a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may also be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of valuation methodologies, key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis, and reviews of any related market activity.

2.  Fair Value Measurement: Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards

CodificationTM ("ASC") 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), defines fair value as the value that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

•  Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

•  Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

•  Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer's financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances

  The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each security.

  Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment's valuation changes. The Fund recognizes transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. As of June 30, 2013, securities with a total value of approximately $269,560,000 transferred from Level 2 to Level 1. At December 31, 2012, the fair value of certain securities were adjusted due to developments which occurred between the time of the close of the foreign markets on which they trade and the close of business on the NYSE which resulted in their Level 2 classification. As of June 30, 2013, securities with a total value of approximately $858,000 transferred from Level 1 to Level 2. Certain securities that were valued using an unadjusted quoted price at December 31, 2012 were valued using significant other inputs at June 30, 2013.

3.  Foreign Currency Translation and Foreign Investments: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the bid and asked prices of such


22



Morgan Stanley Asia-Pacific Fund, Inc.

June 30, 2013

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont'd)

currencies against U.S. dollars last quoted by a major bank as follows:

  —investments, other assets and liabilities at the prevailing rate of exchange on the valuation date;

  —investment transactions and investment income at the prevailing rates of exchange on the dates of such transactions.

  Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held at period end. Similarly, the Fund does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities sold during the period. Accordingly, realized and unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) on investments in securities are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions and balances.

  Net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from sales and maturities of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and foreign currency translations in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The change in unrealized currency gains (losses)

on foreign currency translations for the period is reflected in the Statement of Operations.

  A significant portion of the Fund's net assets consist of securities of issuers located in Asia which are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of and investment income from such securities. In general, Asian securities are subject to greater price volatility, limited capitalization and liquidity, and higher rates of inflation than securities of companies based in the United States. In addition, Asian securities may be subject to substantial governmental involvement in the economy and greater social, economic and political uncertainty. Such securities may be concentrated in a limited number of countries and regions and may vary throughout the year.

  Governmental approval for foreign investments may be required in advance of making an investment under certain circumstances in some countries, and the extent of foreign investments in domestic companies may be subject to limitation in other countries. Foreign ownership limitations also may be imposed by the charters of individual companies to prevent, among other concerns, violations of foreign investment limitations. As a result, an additional class of shares (identified as "Foreign" in the Portfolio of Investments) may be created and offered for investment. The "local" and "foreign shares" market values may differ. In the absence of trading of the foreign shares in such markets, the Fund values the foreign shares at the closing exchange price of the local shares.

4.  Derivatives: The Fund may, but is not required to, use derivative instruments for a variety of purposes, including hedging, risk management, portfolio management or to earn income. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is based on the value of an underlying asset, interest rate, index or financial instrument. A derivative instrument often has risks similar to its underlying asset and may have


23



Morgan Stanley Asia-Pacific Fund, Inc.

June 30, 2013

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont'd)

additional risks, including imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying asset, risks of default by the counterparty to certain transactions, magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest rates to which they relate, and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. The use of derivatives involves risks that are different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with other portfolio investments. Derivatives may involve the use of highly specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analyses different from those associated with other portfolio investments. All of the Fund's holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked-to-market each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is recognized.

  Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and risk of loss. Leverage associated with derivative transactions may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet earmarking or segregation requirements, pursuant to applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, or may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. Although the Adviser and/or Sub-Advisers seek to use derivatives to further the Fund's investment objectives, there is no assurance that the use of derivatives will achieve this result.

  Following is a description of the derivative instruments and techniques that the Fund used during the period and their associated risks:

  Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts: In connection with its investments in foreign securities, the Fund also entered into contracts with banks, brokers or

dealers to purchase or sell securities or foreign currencies at a future date. A foreign currency forward exchange contract ("currency contract") is a negotiated agreement between the contracting parties to exchange a specified amount of currency at a specified future time at a specified rate. The rate can be higher or lower than the spot rate between the currencies that are the subject of the contract. Currency contracts may be used to protect against uncertainty in the level of future foreign currency exchange rates or to gain or modify exposure to a particular currency. Furthermore, such transactions reduce or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken. There is an additional risk to the extent that currency contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund's securities are not denominated. Unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in poorer overall performance for the Fund than if it had not entered into such currency contracts. The use of currency contracts involves the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to the contract or the failure of the counterparty to make payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the contract. A currency contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as unrealized gain or (loss). The Fund records realized gains (losses) when the currency contract is closed equal to the difference between the value of the currency contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

  FASB ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging: Overall" ("ASC 815"), is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these derivative instruments are accounted for and their effects on the Fund's financial position and results of operations.

5.  Indemnifications: The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

6.  Other: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Investments in new Indian securities are made by making applications in the public offerings. The issue price, or a portion thereof, is paid at the time of application and reflected as share application money on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if any. Upon allotment of the securities, this amount plus any remaining amount of issue price is recorded as cost of investments. Realized gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities are determined on the specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date (except certain dividends which may be recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends) net of applicable withholding taxes.

B.   Advisory/Sub-Advisory Fees: The Adviser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, provides the Fund with advisory services under the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement, calculated weekly and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund's average weekly net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the advisory fee rate (net of rebate) was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 1.00% of the Fund's weekly net assets.

The Adviser has entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Sub-Advisers, each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The Sub-Advisers provide the Fund with advisory


25



Morgan Stanley Asia-Pacific Fund, Inc.

June 30, 2013

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (cont'd)

services subject to the overall supervision of the Adviser and the Fund's Officers and Directors. The Adviser pays the Sub-Advisers on a monthly basis a portion of the net advisory fees the Adviser receives from the Fund.

C.  Administration Fees: The Adviser also serves as Administrator to the Fund and provides administrative services pursuant to an Administration Agreement for an annual fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, of 0.08% of the Fund's average weekly net assets. The Adviser has agreed to limit the administration fee through a waiver so that it will be no greater than the previous administration fee of 0.02435% of the Fund's average weekly net assets plus $24,000 per annum. This waiver may be terminated at any time. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, approximately $81,000 of administration fees were waived pursuant to this arrangement. Under a Sub-Administration Agreement between the Administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), State Street provides certain administrative services to the Fund. For such services, the Administrator pays State Street a portion of the fee the Administrator receives from the Fund.

D.  Custodian Fees: State Street (the "Custodian") and its affiliates serve as Custodian for the Fund. The Custodian holds cash, securities, and other assets of the Fund as required by the Act. Custody fees are payable monthly based on assets held in custody, investment purchases and sales activity and account maintenance fees, plus reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

E.  Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

Dividend income and distributions to stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are

declared and paid semiannually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued based on net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation as such income and/or gains are earned. Taxes may also be based on transactions in foreign currency and are accrued based on the value of investments denominated in such currency.

FASB ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes — Overall" sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in "Interest Expense" and penalties in "Other Expenses" in the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York and various states. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2012, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The tax character of distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets due to short-term capital gains being treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. The tax character of distributions paid during fiscal years 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature.

Temporary differences are attributable to differing book and tax treatments for the timing of the recognition of gains (losses) on certain investment transactions and the timing of the deductibility of certain expenses.

Permanent differences, primarily due to differing treatments of gains (losses) related to foreign currency transactions and on certain equity securities designated as issued by passive foreign investment companies and distributions in excess of current earnings, resulted in the following reclassifications among the components of net assets at December 31, 2012:

At December 31, 2012, the Fund had no distributable earnings on a tax basis.

At June 30, 2013, the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes approximates the aggregate cost for book purposes. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation is approximately $58,275,000 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation is approximately $12,774,000 resulting in net unrealized appreciation of approximately $45,501,000.

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Modernization Act") was signed into law. The Modernization Act modernizes several tax provisions related to Regulated Investment Companies ("RICs") and their shareholders. One key change made by the Modernization Act is that capital losses will generally retain their

character as short-term or long-term and may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future gains. These losses are utilized before other capital loss carryforwards that expire. Generally, the Modernization Act is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010.

At December 31, 2012, the Fund had available for Federal income tax purposes unused short term and long term capital losses of approximately $10,738,000 and $5,383,000, respectively that do not have an expiration date.

To the extent that capital loss carryforwards are used to offset any future capital gains realized during the carryover period as provided by U.S. Federal income tax regulations, no capital gains tax liability will be incurred by the Fund for gains realized and not distributed. To the extent that capital gains are offset, such gains will not be distributed to the stockholders.

F.  Security Transactions and Transactions with Affiliates: For the six months ended June 30, 2013, purchases and sales of investment securities for the Fund, other than long-term U.S. Government securities and short-term investments, were approximately $83,242,000 and $99,377,000, respectively. There were no purchases and sales of long-term U.S. Government securities for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

The Fund invests in the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Money Market Portfolio (the "Liquidity Funds"), an open-end management investment company managed by the Adviser, both directly, and as a portion of the securities held as collateral on loaned securities. Advisory fees paid by the Fund are reduced by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investments in the Liquidity Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, advisory fees paid were reduced by approximately $3,000 relating to the Fund's investment in the Liquidity Funds.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Fund incurred approximately $39,000 in brokerage commissions with Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser, Sub-Advisers and Administrator, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Fund incurred approximately $3,000 in brokerage commissions with Citigroup, Inc., and its affiliated broker-dealers, which may be deemed affiliates of the Adviser, Sub-Advisers and Administrator under Section 17 of the Act, for portfolio transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.

G.  Other: On January 23, 1998, the Fund commenced a share repurchase program for purposes of enhancing stockholder value and reducing the discount at which the Fund's shares trade from their net asset value per share ("NAV"). During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Fund did not repurchase any of its shares. Since the inception of the program, the Fund has repurchased 22,013,169 of its shares at an average discount of 17.14% from NAV. The Directors regularly monitor the Fund's share repurchase program as part of their review and consideration of the Fund's premium/discount history. The Fund expects to continue to repurchase its outstanding shares at such time and in such amounts as it believes will further the accomplishment of the foregoing objectives, subject to review by the Directors.

On May 9, 2011, the Directors of the Fund authorized the Fund to conduct a tender offer during the second quarter of 2011 for up to 25% of the Fund's shares, at a price equal to 98.5% of the

Fund's NAV. On June 9, 2011, the Fund completed the tender offer. The Fund accepted 7,230,630 shares for payment which represented 25% of the Fund's then outstanding shares. Final payment was made on June 17, 2011 at $18.01 per share, representing 98.5% of the NAV on June 10, 2011.

On January 3, 2011, the Fund announced that the Directors approved a policy designed to attempt to narrow the trading discount for the Fund (the "Policy"). The Policy, which was amended by announcement on April 7, 2011, requires the Fund to conduct up to four, consecutive, semi-annual tender offers, each to purchase up to 5% of the Fund's outstanding shares of common stock for cash at a price equal to 98% of its NAV as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the day after the date on which the tender offer expires if the Fund's shares trade at an average discount of at least 10% during the 12-week measurement period. The first 12-week measurement period under the amended Policy commenced on July 11, 2011.

Pursuant to the Policy, on October 17, 2011, the Fund announced the commencement of a tender offer by the Fund to acquire in exchange for cash up to 5% of the Fund's outstanding shares at a price equal to 98% of the Fund's NAV as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the business day immediately following the day the offer expires. On November 14, 2011, the Fund completed the tender offer. The Fund accepted 1,084,594 shares for payment which represented 5% of the Fund's then outstanding shares. Final payment was made on November 22, 2011 at $16.32 per share, representing 98% of the NAV on November 15, 2011.

Pursuant to the Policy, on May 17, 2012, the Fund announced the commencement of a tender offer by the Fund to acquire in exchange for cash up to 5% of the Fund's outstanding shares at a price equal to 98% of the Fund's NAV as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the business day immediately following the day the offer expires. On June 14, 2012, the Fund completed the tender offer. The Fund accepted 1,030,364 shares for payment which represented 5% of the

Fund's then outstanding shares. Final payment was made on June 22, 2012 at $14.64 per share, representing 98% of the NAV on June 15, 2012.

Pursuant to the Policy, on October 19, 2012, the Fund announced the commencement of a tender offer by the Fund to acquire in exchange for cash up to 5% of the Fund's outstanding shares at a price equal to 98% of the Fund's NAV as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the business day immediately following the day the offer expires. On November 16, 2012, the Fund completed the tender offer. The Fund accepted 978,846 shares for payment which represented 5% of the Fund's then outstanding shares. Final payment was made on November 26, 2012 at $15.70 per share, representing 98% of the NAV on November 19, 2012.

Pursuant to the Policy, on May 13, 2013, the Fund announced the commencement of a tender offer by the Fund to acquire in exchange for cash up to 5% of the Fund's outstanding shares at a price equal to 98% of the Fund's NAV as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the business day immediately following the day the offer expires.

Derivatives

The Fund may, but is not required to, use derivative instruments for a variety of purposes, including hedging, risk management, portfolio management or to earn income. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is based on the value of an underlying asset, interest rate, index or financial instrument. A derivative instrument often has risks similar to its underlying asset and may have additional risks, including imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying asset, risks of default by the counterparty to certain transactions, magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest rates to which they relate, and risks that the transactions may not be liquid. The use of derivatives involves risks that are different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with other portfolio investments. Derivatives may involve the use of highly specialized instruments that require investment techniques and risk analyses different from those associated with other portfolio investments. Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and risk of loss. Leverage associated with derivative transactions may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet earmarking or segregation requirements, pursuant to applicable SEC rules and regulations, or may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. Although the Adviser seeks to use derivatives to further the Fund's investment objectives, there is no assurance that the use of derivatives will achieve this result.

Following is a description of the derivative instruments and techniques that the Fund may use and their associated risks:

Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts.  In connection with its investments in foreign securities, the Fund also may enter into contracts with banks, brokers or dealers to purchase or sell securities or foreign currencies at a future date. A foreign currency forward exchange contract ("currency contract") is a negotiated agreement between the contracting parties to exchange a specified amounts of currency at a specified future time at a specified rate. The rate can be higher or lower than the spot rate between the currencies that are the subject of the contract. Currency contracts may be used to protect against uncertainty in the level of future foreign currency exchange rates or to gain or modify exposure to a particular currency. In addition, the Fund may use cross currency hedging or proxy hedging with respect to currencies in which the Fund has or expects to have portfolio or currency exposure. Cross currency hedges involve the sale of one currency against the positive exposure to a different currency and may be used for hedging purposes or to establish an active exposure to the exchange rate between any two currencies. Hedging the Fund's currency risks involves the risk of mismatching the Fund's objectives under a currency contract with the value of securities denominated in a particular currency. Furthermore, such transactions reduce or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken. There is an additional risk to the extent that currency contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund's securities are not denominated. Unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in poorer overall performance for the Fund than if it had not entered into such contracts. The use of currency contracts involves the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to the contract or the failure of the counterparty to make payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the contract.

Structured Investments.  The Fund also may invest a portion of its assets in structured investments. A structured investment is a derivative security designed to offer a return linked to a particular underlying security, currency, commodity or market. Structured


32



Morgan Stanley Asia-Pacific Fund, Inc.

June 30, 2013

Investment Policy (unaudited) (cont'd)

investments may come in various forms including notes, warrants and options to purchase securities. The Fund will typically use structured investments to gain exposure to a permitted underlying security, currency, commodity or market when direct access to a market is limited or inefficient from a tax or cost standpoint. Investments in structured investments involve risks including issuer risk, counterparty risk and market risk. Holders of structured investments bear risks of the underlying investment and are subject to issuer or counterparty risk because the Fund is relying on the creditworthiness of such issuer or counterparty and has no rights with respect to the underlying investment. Certain structured investments may be thinly traded or have a limited trading market and may have the effect of increasing the Fund's illiquidity to the extent that the Fund, at a particular point in time, may be unable to find qualified buyers for these securities.

Temporary Investments

The investment policies, limitations or practices of the Fund may not apply during periods of unusual or adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. Such market, economic, political or other conditions may include periods of abnormal or heightened market volatility, strained credit and/or liquidity conditions or increased governmental intervention in the markets or industries. During such periods, the Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, reduce its holdings in equity and other securities and invest in certain debt securities or hold cash. The debt securities in which the Fund may invest consist of (a) obligations of the United States or Asian-Pacific Countries, their respective agencies or instrumentalities; (b) bank deposits and bank obligations (including certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers' acceptances) of U.S. or Asian-Pacific banks denominated in any currency; (c) floating rate securities and other instruments denominated in any currency issued by international development agencies; (d) finance company and corporate commercial paper and other short-term corporate debt obligations of U.S.and Asian-Pacific corporations; and (e) repurchase agreements with banks and broker-dealers with respect to such securities. The Fund intends to invest for temporary defensive purposes only in debt securities that are rated A or better by S&P or Moody's or, if unrated, that the Fund's Investment Manager believes to be of comparable quality, i.e., subject to relatively low risk of loss of interest or principal.

Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (unaudited)

Pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the Plan), each stockholder will be deemed to have elected, unless Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the Plan Agent) is otherwise instructed by the stockholder in writing, to have all distributions automatically reinvested in Fund shares. Participants in the Plan have the option of making additional voluntary cash payments to the Plan Agent, annually, in any amount from $100 to $3,000, for investment in Fund shares.

Dividend and capital gain distributions (Distributions) will be reinvested on the reinvestment date in full and fractional shares. If the market price per share equals or exceeds net asset value per share on the reinvestment date, the Fund will issue shares to participants at net asset value or, if net asset value is less than 95% of the market price on the reinvestment date, shares will be issued at 95% of the market price. If net asset value exceeds the market price on the reinvestment date, participants will receive shares valued at market price. The Fund may purchase shares of its Common Stock in the open market in connection with dividend reinvestment requirements at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Should the Fund declare a Distribution payable only in cash, the Plan Agent will purchase Fund shares for participants in the open market as agent for the participants.

The Plan Agent's fees for the reinvestment of a Distribution will be paid by the Fund. However, each participant's account will be charged a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred on any open market purchases effected on such participant's behalf. A participant will also pay brokerage commissions incurred on purchases made by voluntary cash payments. Although stockholders in the Plan may receive no cash distributions, participation in the Plan will not relieve participants of any income tax which may be payable on such dividends or distributions.

In the case of stockholders, such as banks, brokers or nominees, that hold shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Agent will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of shares certified from time to time by the stockholder as representing the total amount registered in the stockholder's name and held for the account of beneficial owners who are participating in the Plan.

Stockholders who do not wish to have distributions automatically reinvested should notify the Plan Agent in writing. There is no penalty for non-participation or withdrawal from the Plan, and stockholders who have previously withdrawn from the Plan may rejoin at any time. Requests for additional information or any correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at:

We refer to any company that is not an affiliated company as a nonaffiliated third party. For purposes of Section 5 of this notice, and your ability to limit certain uses of personal information by our affiliates, this notice applies to the use of personal information by our affiliated companies.

Please note that, even if you choose to limit our affiliated companies from using personal information about you that we may share with them for marketing their products and services to you, our affiliated companies may use your personal information that they obtain from us to market to you in circumstances permitted by law, such as if the affiliated party has its own relationship with you.
