CASH RESERVES PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

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.

     Citibank is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. Citigroup Inc. was
formed as a result of the merger of Citicorp and Travelers Group, Inc. which was
completed  on  October 8, 1998.

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  Actual results could differ from those  estimates.  The significant
accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio 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 U.S.
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.  The Portfolio  bears all costs of its  operations
other than expenses specifically assumed by Citibank and SFG.

     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. Fees Paid Indirectly The Portfolio's  custodian bank calculates its fees
based on the  Portfolio's  average  daily  net  assets.  The  fees  are  reduced
according to a fee  arrangement,  which  provides for custody fees to be reduced
based on a formula  developed  to measure the value of cash  deposited  with the
custodian by the

Portfolio.  This amount is shown as a reduction of expenses on the  Statement of
Operations.

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

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES

     A. Investment Advisory Fee ~ The Investment advisory fees paid to Citibank,
as  compensation  for  overall  investment  management  services,   amounted  to
$8,190,847,  of which $4,015,310 was voluntarily waived for the six months ended
February 28, 1999. The  investment  advisory fees are computed at an annual rate
of 0.15% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.

     B.  Administrative  Fees - 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,  are computed at
the  annual  rate of 0.05% of the  Portfolio's  average  daily net  assets.  The
Administrative fees amounted to $2,730,282, all of which were voluntarily waived
for the six months ended February 28, 1999.  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,  maturities  and sales of money  market
instruments aggregated  $96,550,935,887 and $93,524,876,338,  respectively,  for
the six months ended February 28, 1999.

4. LINE OF CREDIT The  Portfolio,  along with other  CitiFunds,  entered into an
agreement  with a bank which allows the Funds  collectively  to borrow up to $60
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. 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, 1999,  the  commitment  fee  allocated to the  Portfolio was
$15,271.  Since  the  line  of  credit  was  established,  there  have  been  no
borrowings.
