Dear Shareholder:
 
     Short-term  interest rates declined during the  six months ended August 31,
1995, abetted  by a  25-basis-point  easing of  the  federal-funds rate  by  the
Federal Reserve on July 6, and a slowing economy with very little inflation. The
nation's  gross domestic  product grew by  an annualized 1.3%  during the second
quarter of 1995,  well below  the first quarter  and under  the Fed's  long-term
target  of 2.5% annualized growth. Third-quarter  reports showed a resumption of
moderate growth with low  inflation as an inventory  correction continued. As  a
result  of the  Fed's easing and  the possibility of  further easing, annualized
yields on three-month Treasury bills decreased from 6.06% at the end of February
to 5.50% at the end of August.
 
     Warburg Pincus  Cash Reserve  Fund  (the 'Fund')  had a  30-day  annualized
current yield of 5.42% as of August 31, 1995. Net assets of the Fund were $273.9
million, down from $403.2 million on February 28, 1995. For the seven-day period
ended  August 31, 1995,  the net annualized  yield was 5.42%  down from 5.65% on
February 28, 1995. The Fund's average weighted maturity on August 31, 1995,  was
56 days, nine days longer than in February.
 
     The resumption of real gross domestic product growth is apt to keep Federal
Reserve  policy on hold until a 1996 federal budget is in place. At that time, a
credible package of deficit reduction could trigger a small additional rate cut.
In response,  the  Fund  will  continue to  purchase  only  the  highest-quality
securities   in  order  to  provide  competitive  returns  without  compromising
stability of principal. We appreciate  your continued support and investment  in
the Fund.

                                                                October 16, 1995
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
     Tax-exempt  money-fund yields continued to rise during the six-month period
ended August 31, 1995. The Donoghue's All Tax-Free category produced a  12-month
total return of 3.25% for the year ended August 31, 1995, 64 basis points higher
than  February's  12-month  total  return.  The  interest-rate  environment also
resulted in longer  average weighted  maturities, as funds  extended to  enhance
yields,  and strong growth overall in  tax-free money-fund assets, which reached
an all-time high during the period.
 
     For the period, inflation remained  well-behaved and in the Fed's  targeted
2.5%-3.0%  range,  as  progress  toward an  economic  'soft  landing' continued.
Weaker-than-expected economic data in June, however, shifted sentiment toward  a
possible  recession. As a result,  yields on the one-year  Treasury bill fell to
5.50%. To stimulate the economy, the  Federal Open Market Committee lowered  the
federal-funds  rate by 25 basis points in July.  By the end of the period, signs
of renewed strength  in economic  activity enabled  the FOMC  to leave  interest
rates unchanged at the August meeting.
 
     Warburg  Pincus New York  Tax Exempt Fund  (the 'Fund') seeks  to invest in
high-quality issues, the  income from  which is  exempt from  federal, New  York
state and New York City personal income taxes. The general credit quality within
New  York state remains steady, as Standard & Poor's maintains a positive rating
with no expected downgrade. However, on July 10, 1995, New York City bonds  were
downgraded by Standard & Poor's to 'BBB'.
 
     The  Fund had a 30-day  annualized current yield of  3.23% as of August 31,
1995, and net  assets of  $72.7 million. Its  average weighted  maturity was  57
days.  The Fund's current yield for the  seven-day period ended August 31, 1995,
was 3.17%.
 
     The Fund will continue to seek current income that is exempt from  federal,
New  York  state  and  New  York City  personal  income  taxes,  consistent with
preservation of capital and liquidity. We appreciate your continued support  and
investment in the Fund.

WARBURG PINCUS MONEY MARKET FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 1995 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     The  Warburg Pincus Money Market Funds  are comprised of the Warburg Pincus
Cash Reserve Fund (the 'Cash Reserve Fund') and the Warburg Pincus New York  Tax
Exempt  Fund (the  'New York  Tax Exempt Fund')  which are  registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the '1940 Act'), as diversified  and
non-diversified, open-end management investment companies, respectively.
 
     Investment  objectives for each Fund are  as follows: the Cash Reserve Fund
is designed  to  provide investors  with  high current  income  consistent  with
liquidity  and stability of principal; the New  York Tax Exempt Fund is designed
to provide investors with as high a level of current income that is exempt  from
Federal,  New  York  State,  and  New York  City  personal  income  taxes  as is
consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity.
 
     Issuers  of  New  York  tax-exempt  securities  (including  issuers   whose
obligations  may be acquired by  the New York Tax  Exempt Fund) have experienced
serious financial difficulties in recent years. These difficulties have at times
jeopardized the credit standing and impaired the borrowing abilities of all  New
York  issuers and have generally contributed  to higher interest costs for their
borrowings and fewer markets for their outstanding debt obligations. During  the
recent past, several different issuers of Municipal Securities of New York State
and its agencies and instrumentalities and of New York City have been downgraded
by  Standard  &  Poor's Ratings  Group  and  Moody's Investors  Service,  Inc. A
recurrence of the financial difficulties  experienced by certain issuers of  New
York  tax-exempt securities could  result in defaults or  declines in the market
values of their existing obligations and, possibly, in the obligations of  other
issuers of New York tax-exempt securities.
 
     The  net asset value of each Fund is determined as of noon and the close of
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day, except on days  when
the  Exchange is closed. Each Fund's  investments are valued under the amortized
cost  method  which  approximates  current  market  value.  Under  this  method,
investments  are  valued  at  cost  when  purchased  and  thereafter  a constant
proportionate amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until maturity
of the investment.
 
     Security transactions are accounted for  on trade date. Interest income  is
recorded on the accrual basis. The cost of investments sold is determined by use
of  the specific identification  method for both  financial reporting and income
tax purposes.
 
     Dividends from net investment income  are declared daily and paid  monthly.
Distributions  of net  capital gains,  if any,  are declared  and paid annually,
although the Cash Reserve Fund may declare and pay short-term capital gains,  if
any, periodically as the Board of Directors determines. To the extent that a net
realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryover, such gain will
not be distributed.
 
     Each  Fund intends to continue to comply with the special provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code available to investment companies and therefore no Federal
income tax provision is required.
 
     Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms
of a typical  repurchase agreement,  each Fund acquires  an underlying  security
subject  to an obligation of the seller to repurchase the security. The value of
the underlying security will be  maintained at an amount  at least equal to  the
total amount of the repurchase obligation, including interest. The collateral is
in the Fund's possession.
 
                                                                              19
