U.S. TREASURY RESERVES PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  U.S.  Treasury  Reserves  Portfolio  (the
"Portfolio") is registered under the 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.
CFBDS,  Inc  ("CFBDS"),  acts as the  Portfolio's  Administrator.  Citibank N.A.
("Citibank")  acts  as  the  Investment  Adviser.  Citibank  is  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Citicorp,  which in turn 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.
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.  INVESTMENT  INCOME AND EXPENSES  Investment  income consists of interest
accrued and discount earned (including both original issue and market discount),
adjusted for  amortization  of premium,  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.  FEDERAL  INCOME  TAXES The  Portfolio's  policy  is to  comply  with the
applicable  provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  Accordingly,  no provision
for federal income taxes is necessary.

    D. FEES PAID INDIRECTLY The Portfolio's  custodian calculates its fees based
on the Portfolio's  average daily net assets.  The fee is 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.

    E. 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 $1,331,983
of which $717,265 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 1999. The
investment  advisory  fee  is  computed  at an  annual  rate  of  0.15%  of  the
Portfolio's average daily net assets.

U.S. TREASURY RESERVES PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    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,  is accrued daily
and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.05% of the  Portfolio's  average  daily
net assets.  The  Administrative  fees  amounted to  $443,994,  all of which was
voluntarily  waived for the year ended August 31, 1999.  The  Portfolio  pays no
compensation  directly to any Trustee or 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 U.S.  Treasury
obligations, aggregated $6,789,307,983 and $6,546,755,122, respectively, for the
year ended August 31, 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 $75
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 year ended
August 31, 1999, the commitment fee allocated to the Portfolio was $2,305. Since
the line of credit was established, there have been no borrowings.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


TO THE TRUSTEES AND INVESTORS OF
U.S. TREASURY RESERVES PORTFOLIO:

    We have  audited  the  accompanying  statement  of assets  and  liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments,  of U.S. Treasury Reserves  Portfolio (a
New York Trust) as of August 31, 1999,  the related  statement of operations for
the year then ended,  the statement of changes in net assets for the years ended
August 31, 1999 and 1998, and the financial  highlights for each of the years in
the  five-year  period ended August 31, 1999.  These  financial  statements  and
financial  highlights  are the  responsibility  of the Trust's  management.  Our
responsibility  is to  express  an opinion  on these  financial  statements  and
financial highlights based on our audit.

    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 the securities owned as of
August 31, 1999, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies
were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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,  such financial  statements and financial highlights present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position of U.S.  Treasury
Reserves  Portfolio  at August 31,  1999,  the  results of its  operations,  the
changes in its net  assets,  and its  financial  highlights  for the  respective
stated periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
