THE GLOBAL STRATEGIC INCOME PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
APRIL 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Global Strategic Income Portfolio (the "portfolio") is one of two subtrusts
(portfolios) comprising Series Portfolio II. Series Portfolio II is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), 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 January 9, 1997. The portfolio commenced
operations on March 17, 1997 and received a contribution of certain assets and
liabilities including securities, with a value of $41,072,730 on that date from
the J.P. Morgan Institutional Global Strategic Income Fund (formerly The JPM
Institutional Global Strategic Income Fund) in exchange for a beneficial
interest in the portfolio. The portfolio's investment objective is to provide a
high total return from a portfolio of fixed income securities of foreign and
domestic issuers. The Declaration of Trust permits the trustees to issue an
unlimited number of beneficial interests in the portfolio.
 
Investments in emerging and international markets may involve certain
considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United
States. Future economic and political developments in emerging market and
foreign countries could adversely affect the liquidity or value, or both, of
such securities in which the portfolio is invested. The ability of the issuers
of debt, asset-backed and mortgage securities held by the portfolio to meet
their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a
specific industry or region. The value of asset-backed and mortgage securities
can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates or rapid principal
payments including pre-payments.
 
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 each 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.
 
      Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter
      markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and
      may also take place on days on which the domestic market is closed. If
      events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between
      the time when the

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the portfolio's
      net assets are calculated, such securities will be valued at fair value in
      accordance with procedures established by and under the general
      supervision of the portfolio's trustees.
 
      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) The books and records of the portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The
      market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities and
      foreign currency contracts are translated at the prevailing exchange rates
      at the end of the period. Purchases, sales, income and expenses are
      translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of
      such transactions. Translation gains and losses resulting from changes in
      exchange rates during the reporting period and gains and losses realized
      upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the
      Statement of Operations. Although the net assets of the portfolio are
      presented at the exchange rates and market values prevailing at the end of
      the period, the portfolio does not isolate the portion of the results of
      operations arising as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates from
      the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities
      during the period.
 
   c) Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. 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.
 
   d) The portfolio may enter into forward and spot foreign currency contracts
      to protect securities and related receivables and payables against
      fluctuations in future foreign currency rates. A forward contract is an
      agreement to buy or sell currencies of different countries on a specified
      future date at a specified rate. Risks associated with such contracts
      include the movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the
      U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform.
 
      The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency
      exchange rates. Contracts are valued daily at the current foreign exchange
      rates, and the change in the market value is recorded by the portfolio as
      unrealized appreciation or depreciation of forward foreign currency
      contract translations. At April 30, 1998, the portfolio had open forward
      foreign currency contracts as follows:
 
                                                                              39

   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 will be 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 the value of the contract. Such receipts or
      payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by the portfolio
      as unrealized gains or
 
                                                                              41

      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 of movements in
      the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged
      assets, and the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of
      their contracts. At April 30, 1998, the portfolio had open futures
      contracts as follows:

   f) The portfolio may engage in swap transactions, specifically interest rate,
      currency, index and total return swaps. The portfolio will use these
      transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or
      portion of its investments, to protect against currency fluctuations, as a
      duration management technique, to protect against any increase in the
      price of securities the portfolio anticipates purchasing at a later date,
      or to gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way
      possible. An interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties to
      exchange interest payments on a specified amount ("the notional amount")
      for a specified period. If a swap agreement provides for payments in
      different currencies, the parties might agree to exchange the notional
      amount as well. Risks associated with swap transactions include the
      ability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts, and the
      amount of the portfolio's potential gain or loss on swap transaction is
      not subject to any fixed limit.
 
   g) The portfolio may enter into commitments to buy and sell investments to
      settle on future dates as part of its normal investment activities. These
      commitments are reported at market value in the financial statements.
      Credit risk exists on these commitments to the extent of any unrealized
      gains on the underlying securities purchased and any unrealized losses on
      the underlying securities sold. Market risk exists on these commitments to
      the same extent as if the security were owned on a settled basis and gains
      and losses are recorded and reported in the same manner. However, during
      the commitment period, these investments earn no interest or dividends.

   h) 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. The portfolio earns foreign income which may
      be subject to foreign witholding taxes at various rates.
 
   i) The portfolio incurred organization expenses in the amount of $17,700.
      Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan") has paid 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.
 
   j) Expenses incurred by the Series Portfolio II 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 II, 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.
 
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
   a) The portfolio has an Investment Advisory Agreement with Morgan. Under the
      terms of the agreement, the portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of
      0.45% of the portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months
      ended April 30, 1998, this fee amounted to $342,898.
