NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1999                                            Alliance Money Reserves
================================================================================

NOTE A: Significant Accounting Policies

Alliance Capital Reserves (the "Trust") is an open-end diversified investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Trust consists
of two portfolios: Alliance Capital Reserves and Alliance Money Reserves (the
"Portfolio"), each of which is considered to be a separate entity for financial
reporting and tax purposes. The Portfolio pursues its objectives by maintaining
a portfolio of high-quality money market securities all of which, at the time of
investment, have remaining maturities of 397 days or less. The financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial
statements and amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolio.

1. Valuation of Securities

Securities in which the Portfolio invests are traded primarily in the
over-the-counter market and are valued at amortized cost, under which method a
portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any premium or discount is amortized
on a constant basis to maturity. Certain illiquid securities containing
unconditional puts at par value are also valued at amortized cost.

2. Taxes

It is the Portfolio's policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its
investment company taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to its
shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes are
required.

3. Dividends

The Portfolio declares dividends daily from net investment income and
automatically reinvests such dividends in additional shares at net asset value.
Net realized capital gains on investments, if any, are expected to be
distributed near year end.

4. Investment Income and Investment Transactions

Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment transactions are recorded on a
trade date basis. Realized gain (loss) from investment transactions is recorded
on the identified cost basis.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE B: Advisory Fee and Transactions with an Affiliate of the Adviser

The Portfolio pays its Adviser, Alliance Capital Management L.P., an advisory
fee at the annual rate of .50% on the first $1.25 billion of average daily net
assets; .49% on the next $.25 billion; .48% on the next $.25 billion; .47% on
the next $.25 billion; .46% on the next $1 billion; and .45% in excess of $3
billion. The Adviser has agreed, pursuant to the advisory agreement, to
reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that its annual aggregate expenses
(excluding taxes, broker age, interest and, where permitted, extraordinary
expenses) exceed 1% of its average daily net assets for any fiscal year. For the
year ended June 30, 1999, the reimbursement amounted to $304,024.

The Portfolio compensates Alliance Fund Services, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Adviser, under a Transfer Agency Agreement for providing
personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the Portfolio.
Such compensation amounted to $319,210 for the year ended June 30, 1999.

For the year ended June 30, 1999, the Fund's expenses were reduced by $1,568
under an expense offset arrangement with Alliance Fund Services.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE C: Distribution Assistance and Administrative Services Plan

Under this Plan, the Portfolio pays Alliance Fund Distributors, Inc. (the
"Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, a distribution fee at
the annual rate of .25% of the average daily value of the Portfolio's net
assets. The Plan provides that the Distributor will use such payments in their
entirety for distribution assistance and promotional activities. For the year
ended June 30, 1999, the distribution fee amounted to $3,521,988. In


                                                                               5

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)                Alliance Money Reserves
================================================================================

addition, the Portfolio may reimburse certain broker-dealers for administrative
costs incurred in connection with providing shareholder services, and may
reimburse the Adviser for accounting and book keeping, and legal and compliance
support. For the year ended June 30, 1999, such payments by the Portfolio
amounted to $1,960,974, of which $138,000 was paid to the Adviser.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE D: Investment Transactions

At June 30, 1999, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was
the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes. At June 30, 1999, the
Portfolio had a capital loss carryforward of $617,316, of which $72,812 expires
in 2001, $64,655 expires in 2002 and $479,849 expires in the year 2003.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE E: Transactions in Shares of Beneficial Interest

An unlimited number of shares ($.001 par value) are authorized. At June 30,
1999, capital paid-in aggregated $1,408,006,217. Transactions, all at $1.00 per
share, were as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT                             Alliance Money Reserves
================================================================================

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Alliance Money Reserves Portfolio

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Alliance Money
Reserves Portfolio as of June 30, 1999 and the related statements of operations,
changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the periods indicated in the
accompanying financial statements. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 as of June
30, 1999, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers.

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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Alliance Money Reserves Portfolio as of June 30, 1999, and the results of its
operations, changes in its net assets, and its financial highlights for the
