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 intends to 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 fiscal year ended November 30, 1995,
      this fee amounted to $3,913,479.

                                                                              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
      Administration 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 each day to the net assets of the Portfolio. For the
      fiscal year ended November 30, 1995, Signature's fee for these services
      amounted to $176,717.

      Effective December 29, 1995, the Administration Agreement was amended such
      that the fee charged would be equal to the Portfolio's proportionate share
      of a complex-wide fee based on the following annual schedule: 0.03% on the
      first $7 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets of the
      Portfolio and the other portfolios subject to this agreement (the "Master
      Portfolios") and 0.01% on the aggregate average daily net assets of the
      Master Portfolios in excess of $7 billion. The portion of this charge
      payable by the Portfolio is determined by the proportionate share its net
      assets bear to the total net assets of The Pierpont Funds, The JPM
      Institutional Funds, The JPM Advisor Funds and the Master Portfolios.

    c)Until August 31, 1995, the Portfolio had a Financial and Fund Accounting
      Services Agreement with Morgan under which Morgan received a fee for
      overseeing certain aspects of the administration and operation of the
      Portfolio and which was also designed to provide an expense limit for
      certain expenses of the Portfolio. This fee was calculated at 0.03% of the
      Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the nine month period ended
      August 31, 1995, the fee for these services amounted to $373,077. From
      September 1, 1995 until December 28, 1995, an interim agreement between
      the Portfolio and Morgan provided for the continuation of the oversight
      functions that were outlined under the prior agreement and that Morgan
      should bear all of its expenses incurred in connection with these
      services.

      Effective December 29, 1995, the Portfolio entered into an Administrative
      Services Agreement with Morgan under which Morgan is responsible for
      overseeing certain aspects of the administration and operation of the
      Portfolio. Under the Agreement, the Portfolio has agreed to pay Morgan a
      fee equal to its proportionate share of an annual complex-wide charge.
      This charge is calculated daily based on the aggregate net assets of the
      Master Portfolios in accordance with the following annual schedule: 0.06%
      on the first $7 billion of the Master Portfolios' aggregate net assets and
      0.03% of the aggregate net assets in excess of $7 billion. The portion of
      this charge payable by the Portfolio is determined by the proportionate
      share that the Portfolio's net assets bear to the net assets of the Master
      Portfolios and other investors in the Master Portfolios for which Morgan
      provides similar services.

    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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Trustees and Investors of
The Money Market Portfolio

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the supplementary data present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of The Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio")
at November 30, 1995, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the
changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and
the supplementary data for each of the two years in the period then ended and
for the period July 12, 1993 (commencement of operations) through November 30,
1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and supplementary data (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at
November 30, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the
application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers
were not received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
