THE DISCIPLINED EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOVEMBER 30, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Disciplined Equity Portfolio (the "portfolio") is one of five subtrusts
(portfolios) comprising The Series Portfolio (the "series portfolio"). The
series portfolio is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as a no-load open-end management investment company which was organized
as a trust under the laws of the State of New York on June 24, 1994. The
portfolio commenced operations on December 30, 1996. The portfolio's investment
objective is to provide a high total return from a broadly diversified portfolio
of equity securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the trustees to issue an
unlimited number of beneficial interests in the portfolio.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from
those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting
policies of the portfolio:

   a) The value of each security for which readily available market quotations
      exist is based on a decision as to the broadest and most representative
      market for such security. The value of such security will be based either
      on the last sale price on a national securities exchange, or, in the
      absence of recorded sales, at the average of readily available closing bid
      and asked prices on such exchanges. Securities listed on a foreign
      exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price available before the
      time when net assets are valued. Unlisted securities are valued at the
      average of the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market.
      Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily
      available are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures
      established by the portfolio's trustees. Such procedures include the use
      of independent pricing services, which use prices based upon yields or
      prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type;
      indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. All
      short-term portfolio securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60
      days are valued by the amortized cost method.

      The portfolio's custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for
      investments in repurchase agreements on behalf of the portfolio. It is the
      policy of the portfolio to value the underlying collateral daily on a
      mark-to-market basis to determine that the value, including accrued
      interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest.
      In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the portfolio has
      the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in
      satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event
      of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
      and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
      proceedings.

   b) Securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividend
      income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as of the time that the
      relevant ex-dividend date and amount become known. Interest income, which
      includes the amortization of premiums and discounts, if any, is recorded
      on an accrual basis. For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized
      gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific lot
      identification.

   c) The portfolio incurred organization expenses in the amount of $9,049.

      subsidiary of J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated

                                                                              25

      ("J.P. Morgan"), has agreed to pay the organization expenses of the
      portfolio. The portfolio has agreed to reimburse Morgan for these costs
      which are being deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a
      period not to exceed five years beginning with the commencement of
      operations of the portfolio.

   d) Expenses incurred by the series portfolio with respect to any two or more
      portfolios in the series portfolio are allocated in proportion to the net
      assets of each portfolio in the series portfolio, except where allocations
      of direct expenses to each portfolio can otherwise be made fairly.
      Expenses directly attributable to a portfolio are charged to that
      portfolio.

   e) Futures -- A futures contract is an agreement to purchase/sell a specified
      quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified future date or to
      make/receive a cash payment based on the value of a securities index. The
      price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the
      portfolio enters into the contract. Upon entering into such a contract,
      the portfolio is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or
      liquid securities equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of
      the exchange. Pursuant to the contract, the portfolio agrees to receive
      from, or pay to, the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily
      fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known
      as "variation margin" and are recorded by the portfolio as unrealized
      gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the portfolio records a
      realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the
      contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time when it was
      closed. The portfolio invests in futures contracts for the purpose of
      hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities the portfolio
      intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in
      prevailing market interest rates or securities movements. The use of
      futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in
      movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the
      underlying hedged assets.

   f) The portfolio intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income
      tax purposes. As such, each investor in the portfolio will be taxed on its
      share of the portfolio's ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended
      that the portfolio's assets will be managed in such a way that an investor
      in the portfolio will be able to satisfy the requirements of Subchapter M
      of the Internal Revenue Code.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

   a) Prior to October 1, 1998, the portfolio had an Investment Advisory
      Agreement with Morgan. Under the terms of the agreement, the portfolio
      paid Morgan at an annual rate of 0.35% of the portfolio's average daily
      net assets. Effective October 1, 1998, the portfolio's Investment Advisor
      is J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM"), an affiliate of
      Morgan and a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan, and the terms of the
      agreement will remain the same. At November 30, 1999, such fees amounted
      to $2,310,282.

      The portfolio may invest in one or more affiliated money market funds:
      J.P. Morgan Institutional Prime Money Market Fund, J.P. Morgan
      Institutional Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, J.P. Morgan Institutional
      Federal Money Market Fund and J.P. Morgan Institutional Treasury Money
      Market Fund.

      The Advisor has agreed to reimburse its advisory fee from the portfolio in
      an amount to offset any doubling of investment advisory and shareholder
      servicing fees. For the six months ended November 30, 1999, J.P. Morgan
      has agreed to reimburse the portfolio $7,220 under this agreement.

   b) The portfolio has retained Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a registered
      broker-dealer, to serve as the co-administrator and exclusive placement
      agent. Under a Co-Administration Agreement between FDI and the portfolio,
      FDI provides administrative services necessary for the operations of the
      portfolio, furnishes office space and facilities required for conducting
      the business of the portfolio and pays the compensation of the officers
      affiliated with FDI. The portfolio has agreed to pay FDI fees equal to its
      allocable share of an annual complex-wide charge of $425,000 plus FDI's
      out-of-pocket expenses. The amount allocable to the portfolio is based on
      the ratio of the portfolio's net assets to the aggregate net assets of the
      portfolio and certain other investment companies subject to similar
      agreements with FDI. At November 30, 1999, the fee for these services
      amounted to $7,683.

   c) The portfolio has an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Services
      Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan is responsible for certain
      aspects of the administration and operation of the portfolio. Under the
      Services Agreement, the portfolio has agreed to pay Morgan a fee equal to
      its allocable share of an annual complex-wide charge. This charge is
      calculated based on the aggregate average daily net assets of the
      portfolio and other portfolios for which JPMIM acts as investment advisor
      (the "master portfolios") and J.P. Morgan Series Trust in accordance with
      the following annual schedule: 0.09% on the first $7 billion of the their
      aggregate average daily net assets and 0.04 % of their aggregate average
      daily net assets in excess of $7 billion, less the complex-wide fees
      payable to FDI. The portion of this charge payable by the portfolio is
      determined by the proportionate share that its net assets bear to the net
      assets of the master portfolios, other investors in the master portfolios
      for which Morgan provides similar services, and J.P. Morgan Series Trust.
      At November 30, 1999, the fee for these services amounted to $167,661.

      In addition, J.P. Morgan has agreed to reimburse the portfolio to the
      extent necessary to maintain the total operating expenses of the portfolio
      at no more than 0.45% of the average daily net assets of the portfolio
      through August 31, 2000. This arrangement can be changed or terminated at
      any time at the option of J.P. Morgan. For the six months ended
      November 30, 1999, J.P. Morgan did not reimburse expenses under this
      agreement.

   d) The portfolio has a Fund Services Agreement with Pierpont Group, Inc.
      ("Group") to assist the trustees in exercising their overall supervisory
      responsibilities for the portfolio's affairs. The trustees of the
      portfolio represent all the existing shareholders of Group. The
      portfolio's allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its services
      amounted to $11,507 for the six months ended November 30, 1999.

   e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each trustee for serving as
      a trustee of the J.P. Morgan Funds, the J.P. Morgan Institutional Funds,
      the master portfolios and J.P. Morgan Series Trust. The Trustees' Fees and
      Expenses shown in the financial statements represents the portfolio's
      allocated portion of the total fees and expenses. The portfolio's Chairman
      and Chief Executive Officer also serves

                                                                              27

      as Chairman of Group and received compensation and employee benefits from
