1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "Act") 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 Portfolio commenced operations on July 12, 1993. The
Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
beneficial interests in the Portfolio.
 
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Portfolio:
 
    a)Investments are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
      The amortized cost method of valuation values a security at its cost at
      the time of purchase and thereafter assumes a constant amortization to
      maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of
      fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instruments.
 
      The Portfolio's custodian or designated subcustodians, as the case may be,
      under triparty repurchase agreements takes possession of the collateral
      pledged for investments in repurchase agreements on behalf of the
      Portfolio. It is the policy of the Portfolio to value the underlying
      collateral daily on a mark-to-market basis to determine that the value,
      including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price plus
      accrued interest. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase,
      the Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
      proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances,
      in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement,
      realization and/ or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject
      to legal proceedings.
 
    b)Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Investment
      income consists of interest income, which includes the amortization of
      premiums and discounts. For financial and tax reporting purposes, realized
      gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific lot
      identification.
 
    c)The Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax
      purposes. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be subject to
      taxation on its share of the Portfolio's ordinary income and capital
      gains. 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 satisfy the
      requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The cost of
      securities is the same for book and tax purposes.
 
2.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
    a)The Portfolio has an investment advisory agreement with Morgan Guaranty
      Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"). Under the terms of the investment
      advisory agreement, the Portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of 0.20%
      of the Portfolio's average daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.10% on
      any excess over $1 billion. For the six months ended May 31, 1995, this
      fee amounted to $1,871,179.
 
                                                                              21

    b)The Portfolio has retained Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc.
      ("Signature") to serve as Administrator and exclusive placement agent.
      Signature provides administrative services necessary for the operations of
      the Portfolio, furnishes office space and facilities required for
      conducting the business of the Portfolio and pays the compensation of the
      Portfolio's officers affiliated with Signature. The agreement provides for
      a fee to be paid to Signature at an annual fee rate determined by the
      following schedule: 0.01% of the first $1 billion of the aggregate average
      daily net assets of the Portfolio and the other portfolios subject to the
      Administrative Services Agreement, 0.008% of the next $2 billion of such
      net assets, 0.006% of the next $2 billion of such net assets, and 0.004%
      of such net assets in excess of $5 billion. The daily equivalent of the
      fee rate is applied to the daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the six
      months ended May 31, 1995, Signature's fee for these services amounted to
      $86,767.
 
    c)The Portfolio has entered into a Financial and Fund Accounting Services
      Agreement ("Services Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan receives a
      fee, based on the percentages described below, for overseeing certain
      aspects of the administration and operation of the Portfolio. The Services
      Agreement is also designed to provide an expense limit for certain
      expenses of the Portfolio. If total expenses of the Portfolio, excluding
      the advisory fee, custody expenses, fund services fee, and brokerage
      costs, exceed the expense limit of 0.03% of the Portfolio's average daily
      net assets, Morgan will reimburse the Portfolio for the excess expense
      amount and receive no fee. Should such expenses be less than the expense
      limit, Morgan's fee would be limited to the difference between such
      expenses and the fee calculated under the Services Agreement. For the six
      months ended May 31, 1995, Morgan will receive a fee of $240,557.
 
    d)The Portfolio has a Fund Services Agreement with Pierpont Group, Inc.
      ("Group") to assist the Trustees in exercising their overall supervisory
      responsibilities for the Portfolio's affairs. The Trustees of the
      Portfolio represent all the existing shareholders of Group. The
      Portfolio's allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its services
      amounted to $136,567 for the six months ended May 31, 1995.
 
    e)An aggregate annual fee of $65,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
      a Trustee of The Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, their
      corresponding Portfolios and The Series Portfolio. The Trustees' Fees and
      Expenses shown in the financial statements represent the Fund's allocated
      portion of the total fees and expenses. Prior to April 1, 1995, the
      aggregate annual Trustee Fee was $55,000. The Trustee who serves as
      Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of these Funds and Portfolios also
      serves as Chairman of Group and received compensation and employee
      benefits from Group in his role as Group's Chairman. The allocated portion
      of such compensation and benefits included in the Fund Services Fee shown
      in the financial statements was $16,000.
