THE 59 WALL STREET MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies. The 59 Wall Street
Money Market Fund (the "Fund") is a separate, diversified series of The 59 Wall
Street Trust (the "Trust") which is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended. The Trust is an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 7, 1983. The Fund commenced
operations on December 12, 1993. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees
to create an unlimited number of series, each of which issues a separate class
of shares. The Trustees have authorized the issuance of an unlimited number of
shares of the Fund. At June 30, 2000, there were four series of the Trust.
The Fund invests all of its investable assets in the BBH U.S. Money Market
Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a diversified, open-end management investment
company having the same investment objectives as the Fund. The value of such
investments reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the
Portfolio (approximately 89% at June 30, 2000). The performance of the Fund is
directly affected by the performance of the Portfolio. The financial statements
of the Portfolio, including the schedule of investments, are included elsewhere
in this report and should be read in connection with the Fund's financial
statements.
The Fund'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. Valuation of investments by the
Portfolio is discussed in Note 1 of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial
Statements which are included elsewhere in this report.
B. Investment Income. The Fund earns interest income daily, net of
Portfolio expenses, based on its investment in the Portfolio. Realized
gain and loss, if any, from investment transactions are determined by the
Portfolio on the basis of identified cost, when recognized, and allocated
to the Fund, along with net investment income, based on its investment in
the Portfolio. Prior to the Fund's investment in the Portfolio, the Fund
held its investments directly.
C. Federal Income Taxes. Each series of the Trust is treated as a
separate entity for Federal income tax purposes. It is the Fund's policy
to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code")
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its
taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no Federal income tax
provision is required.
D. Dividends and Distributions. Dividends from net investment income
are declared daily and paid monthly to shareholders.
2. Transactions with Affiliates
Administrative Fee. The Trust has an administration agreement with Brown
Brothers Harriman & Co. (the "Administrator") for which the Administrator
receives a fee from the Fund calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate
equivalent to 0.075% of the Fund'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 year ended June 30, 2000, the Fund incurred $980,250 for
administrative services. Effective July 1, 2000, the fee paid to the
Administrator will be calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate
equivalent to 0.095% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

THE 59 WALL STREET MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Shareholder Servicing/Eligible Institution Agreement. The Trust has a
shareholder servicing agreement and an eligible institution agreement with Brown
Brothers Harriman & Co. for which Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. receives a fee
from the Fund calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equivalent to
0.225% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended June 30, 2000,
the Fund incurred $2,940,750 for shareholder servicing/eligible institution
services. Effective July 1, 2000, the fee paid for shareholder
servicing/eligible institution services will be calculated daily and paid
monthly at an annual rate equivalent to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net
assets.
Trustees' Fees and Expenses. Each Trustee of the Fund receives an annual
retainer paid by the Fund. Each Trustee is also reimbursed for out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with board meetings. For the year ended June 30,
2000, the Fund incurred $62,457 for Trustees' fees and expenses.
3. Investment Transactions. Investment transactions of the Portfolio are
discussed in Note 3 of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements which are
included elsewhere in this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Trustees and Shareholders
The 59 Wall Street Money Market Fund (a series of The 59 Wall Street Trust):
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments, of The 59 Wall Street Money Market Fund
(a series of The 59 Wall Street Trust) (the "Fund") as of June 30, 2000, the
related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of
changes in net assets for the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and the
financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period ended June
30, 2000. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund'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 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 June 30, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian. 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, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The 59 Wall Street
Money Market Fund at June 30, 2000, and the results of its operations, and the
changes in its net assets, and its financial highlights for the respective
stated periods in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

BBH U.S. MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(expressed in U.S. dollars)
1. Organization and Accounting Policies. The BBH U.S. Money Market
Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as a no-load, diversified, open-end management investment
company which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York
on June 15, 1993. The Portfolio commenced operations on October 31, 1994. The
Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to create an unlimited number of
beneficial interests in the Portfolio. Effective July 1, 2000, the Portfolio
changed its name to BBH U.S. Money Market 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. The Portfolio values its investments at
amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method
values a security at its cost at the time of purchase and thereafter
assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.
The Portfolio's use of amortized cost is in compliance with Rule 2a-7 of
the Investment Company Act of 1940.
B. Interest Income. Interest Income consists of interest accrued and
discount earned (including both original issue and market discount) and
premium amortization on the investments of the Portfolio, accrued ratably
to the date of maturity, plus or minus net realized short-term gain or
loss, if any, on investments.
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. Accordingly, no provision for Federal Income taxes
is necessary. 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. At June 30, 2000, the cost of investments for
Federal Income tax purposes was equal to the amortized cost of the
investments for financial statement purposes.
D. Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio at all times maintains
possession of securities collateralizing repurchase agreements.
Additionally, the Portfolio monitors the value of such securities,
including accrued interest, to ensure the collateral at least equals 100%
of the value of the repurchase agreement.
E. Deferred Organization Expense. Expenses incurred by the Portfolio
in connection with its organization are being amortized by the Portfolio
on a straight-line basis over a five year period.
F. Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date
basis. Realized gain and loss, if any, from investment transactions are
determined on the basis of identified cost.
2. Transactions with Affiliates.
Investment Advisory Fee. The Portfolio has an investment advisory
agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (the "Adviser") for which it pays
the Adviser a fee calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equivalent
to 0.15% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the year ended June
30, 2000, the Portfolio incurred $1,974,749 for advisory services. Effective
July 1, 2000, the fee paid to the Adviser will be calculated daily and paid
monthly at an annual rate equivalent to 0.10% of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets.
<PAGE>
BBH U.S. MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Administrative Fee. The Portfolio has an administrative agreement with
Brown Brothers Harriman Trust Company, LLC (the "Administrator") for which it
pays the Administrator a fee 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 agreement with Signature Financial Group

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Trustees and Investors
BBH U.S. Money Market Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments, of BBH U.S. Money Market Portfolio (the
"Portfolio") as of June 30, 2000, the related statement of operations for the
year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for the years ended June
30, 2000 and 1999, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the
five-year period ended June 30, 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 audits.
We conducted our audits 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 June 30, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian. 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, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BBH U.S. Money
Market Portfolio at June 30, 2000, the results of its operations, the changes in
its net assets, and its financial highlights for the respective stated periods
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
