NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Organization

The Utility 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 December 11, 1991 as an
unincorporated trust under the laws of New York and commenced operations on
August 3, 1992. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees (the
"Trustees") to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

B. Security Valuation

The Portfolio's investments are valued each business day by an independent
pricing service approved by the Trustees. Securities traded on national
exchanges or traded in the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the last
sales prices reported at the close of business each day. Over-the-counter
securities not included in the NASDAQ National Market System and listed
securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean of the bid and
asked prices. Short-term obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or
less, are valued at amortized cost which with accrued interest approximates
value. Securities for which quotations are not available are stated at fair
value as determined by the Trustees.

C. Security Transactions and Investment Income

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis (date the order
to buy or sell is executed). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. 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.

All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses
from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata among
the investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.

D. Federal Income Taxes

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

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 annual rate of 0.10 of 1% of the Portfolio's average daily net
assets. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, this fee aggregated $8,077.

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 an annual rate of 0.65 of 1% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 1995,
this fee aggregated $52,503.

Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive and reimburse expenses of the
Portfolio, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to 0.60 of 1% of the
average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the six months ended June  30,
1995, expenses of the Portfolio have been reduced $22,887.

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.

NOTE 3 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other
than short-term obligations, for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were
$5,291,784 and $11,200,801, respectively. The aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation for all investments was $939,000, and the aggregate gross
unrealized depreciation for all investments was $305,354.
