Dear Shareholder:
 
     Short-term  interest rates rose  dramatically during the  fiscal year ended
February 28, 1995,  reversing a  five-year downward trend.  The Federal  Reserve
moved   aggressively  to  slow  the  growth  of  the  economy  and  counter  the
inflationary threat  posed by  diminishing productive  capacity in  the  present
business  cycle.  As a  result of  this restrictive  monetary policy,  yields on
three-month Treasury bills rose from 3.30% to 6.06% during the period.
 
     Warburg Pincus  Cash Reserve  Fund  (the 'Fund')  had a  30-day  annualized
current  yield of  5.63% as of  February 28, 1995.  Net assets of  the Fund were
$403.2 million on February 28, 1995. For the seven-day period ended February 28,
1995, the net  annualized yield was  5.65%, up  from 2.87% a  year earlier.  The
Fund's average maturity on February 28, 1995, was 47 days.
 
     Moving  forward, evidence of slowing demand  in the economy may obviate the
need for further rate increases. 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.

Dear Shareholder:
 
     Tax-exempt money  fund yields  rose substantially  during the  fiscal  year
ended  February  28,  1995.  The Donoghue's  all  tax-free  category  produced a
12-month total return of 2.61%,  an increase of 66  basis points over the  prior
year.  The interest-rate environment  also resulted in  shorter average weighted
maturities and strong growth overall in money fund assets during the period.
 
     The Federal Reserve continued to  ratchet up interest rates throughout  the
past  fiscal year as the economy  posted strong growth. Capacity utilization and
unemployment figures moved into territory historically associated with a  pickup
in  inflation. The current  cycle of Fed  tightening is probably  at or close to
completion; however, the Fed must now  concentrate on the hazards of a  slowdown
in  the  economy while  continuing to  maintain its  inflation-fighting posture.
Current data remains inconclusive on the question of whether the Federal Reserve
has successfully engineered a 'soft landing' for the economy.
 
     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 within  New
York  is stable to improving  as the local economies  move out of recession into
recovery.
 
     The Fund had a 30-day annualized current yield of 3.18% as of February  28,
1995.  The Fund, as of  February 28, 1995, had net  assets of $87.7 million. The
average weighted maturity of the Fund's portfolio was 32 days.
 
     The Fund will continue to seek 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. We appreciate your continued support  and
investment in the Fund.

WARBURG PINCUS MONEY MARKET FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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.
 
                                                                     21

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
  WARBURG PINCUS MONEY MARKET FUNDS:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of Warburg Pincus Cash
Reserve Fund and  Warburg Pincus New  York Tax  Exempt Fund as  of February  28,
1995,  and the  related statements  of operations for  the year  then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then
ended, and the  financial highlights for  each of the  periods presented.  These
financial  statements  and financial  highlights are  the responsibility  of the
Funds' 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
February  28, 1995. 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
Warburg Pincus Cash Reserve Fund and Warburg Pincus New York Tax Exempt Fund  as
of  February 28,  1995, and the  results of  their operations for  the year then
ended, the changes in their net assets for  each of the two years in the  period
then  ended, and the financial highlights for  each of the periods presented, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
