NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
================================================================================

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Organization

The Tax Free Money Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended, as an open-end
management investment company. The Portfolio was organized on March 26, 1990,
as an unincorporated trust under the laws of New York and commenced operations
on February 19, 1991. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees
(the "Trustees") to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

B. Security Valuation

Investments are valued at amortized cost, which has been determined by the
Trustees to represent fair value of the Portfolio's investments.

C. Security Transactions and Interest Income

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis (date the order
to buy or sell is executed). Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis
and includes amortization of premium and discount on investments. Realized
gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified
cost basis.

D. Investment Income

The Portfolio determines its net investment income on each valuation day and
allocates all such income as well as any realized gains and losses from
security transactions pro rata among the investors in the Portfolio at the time
of such determination.

E. Federal Income Taxes

It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

F. Other

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements.

NOTE 2 - FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Portfolio has entered into an Administration and Services Agreement with
Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers Trust"). Under this Administration and Services
Agreement, Bankers Trust provides administrative, custody, transfer agency and
shareholder services to the Portfolio in return for a fee computed daily and
paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.05 of 1% of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets. For the year ended December 31, 1995, this fee aggregated $60,241.

The Portfolio has entered into an Advisory Agreement with Bankers Trust. Under
this Advisory Agreement, the Portfolio pays Bankers Trust an advisory fee
computed daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.15 of 1% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets.  For the year ended December 31, 1995,
this fee aggregated $180,724.

Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive and reimburse expenses of the
Portfolio, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to 0.20 of 1% of the
average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the year ended December 31,
1995, expenses of the Portfolio have been reduced by $31,541.

Certain trustees and officers of the Portfolio are also directors, officers
and/or employees of Signature. None of the trustees so affiliated received
compensation for services as trustee of the Portfolio. Similarly, none of the
Portfolio's officers received compensation from the Portfolio.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS 
================================================================================

To the Trustees and Holders of Beneficial
Interest of the Tax Free Money Portfolio:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Tax
Free Money Portfolio, including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of
December 31, 1995, and the related statement 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 four years in
the period then ended and for the period February 19, 1991 (commencement of
operations) to December 31, 1991. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolio's 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
December 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian.  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 the
Tax Free Money Portfolio as of December 31, 1995, the results of its
operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the
periods referred to above, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
