                     BBH BROAD MARKET FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      1.  Organization  and Significant  Accounting  Policies.  BBH Broad Market
Fixed Income  Portfolio  (the  "Portfolio")  is registered  under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended,  as an open-end  management  investment company
which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York on August
15, 1994. The Portfolio  commenced  operations on July 20, 2000. The Declaration
of Trust  permits  the  Trustees  to create an  unlimited  number of  beneficial
interests in the Portfolio.

      The  Portfolio's  financial  statements  are prepared in  accordance  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,  which
require  management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the
financial  statements  and are  based,  in  part,  on the  following  accounting
policies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

            A. Valuation of Investments. Bonds and other fixed income securities
      (other than short-term obligations but including listed issues) are valued
      on the basis of valuations  furnished by a pricing  service,  use of which
      has been approved by the Board of Trustees. In making such valuations, the
      pricing service  utilizes both  dealer-supplied  valuations and electronic
      data processing  techniques  which take into account  appropriate  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,  without  exclusive  reliance  upon quoted  prices or
      exchange or over-the-counter prices, since such valuations are believed to
      reflect more accurately the fair value of such securities.

            Securities  or other  assets  for which  market  quotations  are not
      readily  available are valued at fair value in accordance  with procedures
      established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the
      Portfolio's  Board  of  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 the value from dealers;  and general market  conditions.
      Short-term  investments  which  mature  in 60 days or less are  valued  at
      amortized  cost if their  original  maturity  was 60 days or  less,  or by
      amortizing  their  value  on the  61st day  prior  to  maturity,  if their
      original  maturity  when  acquired by the Portfolio was more than 60 days,
      unless  this is  determined  not to  represent  fair value by the Board of
      Trustees.

            B. Accounting for Investments. Investment transactions are accounted
      for on the trade date.  Realized gains and losses, if any, from investment
      transactions  are  determined  on the basis of identified  cost.  Interest
      income is accrued daily and consists of interest accrued,  discount earned
      (including   both  original   issue  and  market   discount)  and  premium
      amortization on the investments of the Portfolio.

            C. Federal  Income Taxes.  The Portfolio is treated as a partnership
      for Federal Income tax purposes and its operations are conducted in such a
      way that it is not to be  considered  engaged in a U.S.  trade or business
      for U.S. tax purposes.  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
      comply with the  provisions  of the Internal  Revenue Code  applicable  to
      regulated  investment  companies.  Accordingly,  no provision  for federal
      income taxes is necessary.

            D. Swap Agreement.  The Portfolio may enter into swap agreements.  A
      swap is an exchange of cash  payments  between the  Portfolio  and another
      party which is based on a specific  financial  index.  Cash  payments  are
      exchanged at  specified  intervals  and the expected  income or expense is
      recorded on an accrual basis.  The value of the swap is adjusted daily and
      the  change  in  value  is  recorded   as   unrealized   appreciation   or
      depreciation.  Risks may arise upon  entering  into

<PAGE>

                             BBH BROAD MARKET FIXED
           INCOME PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

      these agreements from the potential  inability of  counterparties  to meet
      the terms of their contract and from unanticipated changes in the value of
      the financial  index on which the swap  agreement is based.  The Portfolio
      may use swaps for both  hedging  and  non-hedging  purposes.  For  hedging
      purposes,  the  Portfolio may use swaps to reduce its exposure to interest
      and foreign  exchange rate  fluctuations.  For non-hedging  purposes,  the
      Portfolio may use swaps to take a position on  anticipated  changes in the
      underlying financial index.

      2. Transactions with Affiliates.

      Investment   Advisory  Fee.  The  Portfolio  has  an  investment  advisory
agreement  with Brown  Brothers  Harriman (the  "Adviser") for which the Adviser
receives a fee calculated and paid monthly at an annual rate equivalent to 0.30%
of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.

      Administrative  Fee. The Portfolio has an  administration  agreement  with
Brown  Brothers  Harriman  (the  "Administrator")  for which  the  Administrator
receives a fee from the Portfolio calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual
rate  equivalent  to 0.035% of the  Portfolio's  average  daily net assets.  The
Administrator  has a  subadministration  services  agreement with 59 Wall Street
Administrators, Inc. for which 59 Wall Street Administrators, Inc. receives such
compensation  as is from  time to time  agreed  upon,  but not in  excess of the
amount paid to the  Administrator.  For the period ended  October 31, 2000,  the
Portfolio incurred $9,301 for administrative services.

      Custody Fee. The Portfolio  has a custody  agreement  with Brown  Brothers
Harriman (the "Custodian") for which the Custodian receives a fee calculated and
paid monthly. Custody fees for the Portfolio were reduced by $466 as a result of
an expense offset arrangement with the Portfolio's custodian.

      Expense  Payment Fee.  Brown Brothers  Harriman  Trust  Company,  LLC pays
certain  expenses  of the  Portfolio  and  receives  a fee from  the  Portfolio,
computed and paid monthly,  such that after such fee the aggregate expenses will
not exceed 0.40% of the  Portfolio's  average  daily net assets.  For the period
ended October 31, 2000,  Brown Brothers  Harriman  Trust  Company,  LLC incurred
$125,223 in expenses,  including investment advisory fees of $65,483 and custody
fees of $21,623 on behalf of the Portfolio.  The expense reimbursement agreement
will  terminate  when the aggregate  amount of fees  received by Brown  Brothers
Harriman Trust Company,  LLC thereunder  equals the aggregate amount of expenses
paid by Brown Brothers Harriman Trust Company, LLC.

      3.  Investment  Transactions.  For the period ended October 31, 2000,  the
cost of purchases and the proceeds of sales of investment  securities other than
short-term investments were $226,278,306 and $170,635,837, respectively.

      4. Financial Futures Contracts. As of October 31, 2000, the Portfolio held
open  futures  contracts.  The  contractual  amount  of  the  futures  contracts
represents the  investment  the Portfolio has in a particular  contract and does
not  necessarily   represent  the  amounts  potentially  subject  to  risk.  The
measurement of risk  associated  with futures  contracts is meaningful only when
all related and offsetting transactions are considered. A summary of obligations
under open futures contracts at October 31, 2000, is as follows:

open swap agreement:

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Board of Trustees and Investors
BBH Broad Market Fixed Income Portfolio:

      We have  audited the  accompanying  statement  of assets and  liabilities,
including  the  portfolio  of  investments,  of BBH Broad  Market  Fixed  Income
Portfolio as of October 31, 2000, and the related  statement of operations,  the
statement of changes in net assets, and the financial  highlights for the period
from July 20, 2000  (Commencement  of  Operations)  to October 31,  2000.  These
financial  statements  and financial  highlights are the  responsibility  of the
Portfolio's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.

      We conducted our audit in accordance  with  auditing  standards  generally
accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards  require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes  examining,  on a test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and
disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities  owned at October 31, 2000 by  correspondence  with the custodian and
brokers;  where  replies  were not received  from  brokers,  we performed  other
procedures.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of BBH Broad Market
Fixed Income  Portfolio at October 31, 2000, the results of its operations,  the
changes in its net  assets,  and its  financial  highlights  for the period then
ended in conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
