(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash  Reserves   Portfolio  (the  "Portfolio")  is  registered  under  the  U.S.
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.  The  Declaration  of Trust permits the Trustees to issue
beneficial interests in the Portfolio. Signature Financial Group (Grand Cayman),
Ltd. ("SFG") acts as the Portfolio's Administrator and Citibank, N.A.
("Citibank") acts as the Investment Adviser.

The significant  accounting policies  consistently followed by the Portfolio are
in conformity  with U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles and are as
follows:

A. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS -- Money market  instruments are valued at amortized
cost,  which the Trustees have determined in good faith  constitutes fair value.
This method  involves  valuing a portfolio  security at its cost and  thereafter
assuming a constant  amortization  to maturity of any  discount or premium.  The
Portfolio's use of amortized cost is subject to the Portfolio's  compliance with
certain conditions as specified under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of
1940.

B. INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSES -- Interest income consists of interest  accrued
and discount earned  (including both original issue and market  discount) on the
investments of the Portfolio,  accrued ratably to the date of maturity,  plus or
minus  net  realized  gain or loss,  if any,  on  investments.  Expenses  of the
Portfolio are accrued daily.

C. U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Portfolio is considered a partnership  under
the U.S.  Internal  Revenue Code.  Accordingly,  no provision for federal income
taxes is necessary.

D.  REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS  -- It is the policy of the  Portfolio to require the
custodian  bank to take  possession,  to have legally  segregated in the Federal
Reserve  Book Entry System or to have  segregated  within the  custodian  bank's
vault,  all  securities  held as collateral  in support of repurchase  agreement
investments.  Additionally, procedures have been established by the Portfolio to
monitor,  on a daily  basis,  the  market  value of the  repurchase  agreement's
underlying investments to ensure the existence of a proper level of collateral.

E.  DEFERRED  ORGANIZATION  EXPENSES -- Expenses  incurred by the  Portfolio  in
connection with its organization have been deferred and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis not to exceed five years.

F. OTHER -- Purchases and maturities and sales of money market  instruments  are
accounted for on the date of the transaction.

(2) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEE
A. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE -- The investment  advisory fee paid to Citibank,  as
compensation for overall investment management services, amounted to $1,541,592,
of which $943,202 was  voluntarily  waived for the six months ended February 28,
1995. The investment  advisory fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets.

B.  ADMINISTRATIVE  FEE  --  Under  the  terms  of  an  Administrative  Services
Agreement, the administrative fee paid to the Administrator, as compensation for
overall  administrative  services and general office facilities,  is computed at
the  annual  rate of 0.05% of the  Portfolio's  average  daily net  assets.  The
administrative fee amounted to $513,864, all of which was voluntarily waived for
the six months ended  February  28, 1995.  The  Portfolio  pays no  compensation
directly  to  any  Trustee  or  to  any  officer  who  is  affiliated  with  the
Administrator,  all of whom  receive  remuneration  for  their  services  to the
Portfolio from the Administrator or its affiliates.  Certain of the officers and
a Trustee of the Portfolio are officers and a director of the  Administrator  or
its affiliates.

(3) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases  and  maturities  and  sales of money  market  instruments  aggregated
$76,662,967,372  and  $76,886,693,668,  respectively,  for the six months  ended
February 28, 1995.

(4) LINE OF CREDIT
The Portfolio, along with other Landmark Funds, entered into an agreement with a
bank  which  allows  the Funds  collectively  to borrow  up to $40  million  for
temporary or emergency purposes.  Interest on borrowings,  if any, is charged to
the specific  fund  executing  the  borrowing  at the base rate of the bank.  In
addition,  the $15 million  committed  portion of the line of credit  requires a
quarterly  payment of a commitment fee based on the average daily unused portion
of the  line  of  credit.  For the six  months  ended  February  28,  1995,  the
commitment  fee allocated to the Portfolio was $9,388.  Since the line of credit
was established, there have been no borrowings.
