Income Portfolio Trust - Managed U.S. Government Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 1995
_______________________________________________________________________________

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES.  Managed U.S.  Government
Portfolio (the  "Portfolio"),  a series of Income Portfolio Trust (the "Trust"),
is registered  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"), as a no-load,  diversified,  open-end management  investment company. The
Portfolio  was  organized  as a trust under the laws of the State of New York on
September 16, 1992 and commenced operations on November 25, 1992. Pursuant to an
amended  and  restated  declaration  of  trust  dated  as of June 8,  1993  (the
"Declaration of Trust"), the Portfolio was reorganized as a series of the Trust.
The  Declaration  of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited  number of
beneficial interests in the Portfolio and other series of the Trust which may be
created from time to time.  As  explained  in Note 5, on December 18, 1995,  the
Trustees of the Trust approved and authorized the sale of assets and dissolution
of the Trust.

The  following  is a  summary  of the  significant  accounting  policies  of the
Portfolio.

         A.  Valuation  of  Investments.  Where  market  quotations  are readily
available, portfolio securities are valued based upon the current bid price. The
Portfolio values Mortgage-Backed  Securities and other debt securities for which
market quotations are not readily available at their fair value as determined in
good  faith,  utilizing  procedures  approved  by the Board of  Trustees  of the
Portfolio,  on the basis of information  provided by dealers in such securities.
Some of the general  factors which may be considered in  determining  fair value
include  the  fundamental  analytic  data  relating  to  the  investment  and an
evaluation of the forces which  influence  the market in which these  securities
are  purchased  and  sold.  Determination  of  fair  value  involves  subjective
judgment, as the actual market value of a particular security can be established
only by negotiations between the parties in a sales transaction. Debt securities
having a  remaining  maturity  of sixty  days or less  when  purchased  and debt
securities  originally  purchased  with  maturities  in excess of sixty days but
which  currently  have  maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized
cost.

         B.  Interest  Income.  Interest  income is  determined  on the basis of
interest accrued and original issue discount  earned,  adjusted for amortization
of premium or  accretion  of discount and  amortization  of market  premium when
required or elected for federal  income tax  purposes.  Any paydown gain or loss
associated with mortgage backed securities is included in interest income.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

_______________________________________________________________________________

         C.  Repurchase  Agreements.  The  Portfolio  may  invest in  repurchase
agreements,  which are agreements  pursuant to which  securities are acquired by
the  Portfolio  from a  third  party  with  the  commitment  that  they  will be
repurchased by the seller at a fixed price on an agreed upon date. The Portfolio
may  enter  into  repurchase  agreements  with  banks  or  lenders  meeting  the
creditworthiness  standards  established  by the Trust's Board of Trustees.  The
resale  price  reflects  the  purchase  price plus an agreed upon market rate of
interest  which is  unrelated  to the  coupon  rate or date of  maturity  of the
purchased security.

The use of repurchase  agreements  involves certain risks.  For example,  if the
seller of securities under a repurchase  agreement defaults on its obligation to
repurchase the underlying securities, the Portfolio will seek to dispose of such
securities,  which action could involve costs or delays.  To minimize this risk,
the  securities  collateralizing  the  repurchase  agreement will be held by the
custodian  at all  times in an amount at least  equal to the  repurchase  price,
including accrued interest. The collateral is marked-to-market daily.

         D. Futures.  A futures contract is an agreement  between two parties to
buy and sell a security at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such
a contract  the  Portfolio is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash
and/or  securities  equal to the minimum  "initial  margin"  requirements of the
exchange.  Pursuant to the contract, the Portfolio agrees to receive from or pay
to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily  fluctuation  in value of the
contract.  Such  receipts or payments  are known as  "variation  margin" and are
recorded by the  Portfolio as unrealized  gains or losses.  When the contract is
closed,  the Portfolio  records a realized gain or loss equal to the  difference
between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the
time it was  closed.  Risks of  entering  into  futures  contracts  include  the
possibility that there may be an illiquid  secondary market and/or that a change
in the value of the contract may not correlate  with changes in the value of the
underlying security.

         E. Federal Taxes.  The Portfolio  will be treated as a partnership  for
federal  income tax purposes.  As such,  each investor in the Portfolio  will be
taxed 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.

         F. Deferred Organization  Expenses.  Expenses incurred by the Portfolio
in connection  with its  organization  are being amortized by the Portfolio on a
straight-line  basis over a five-year period. As more fully discussed in Note 5,
remaining unamortized organization expenses will be absorbed by Eastbridge Asset
Management,  Inc.,  the  investment  adviser,  in  connection  with the  planned
liquidation of the Trust.

         G. Other.  Investment  transactions  are  accounted  for on  trade date
(the date the security is purchased or sold). Gains and losses are determined on
the basis of identified cost.

2.  ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND TRUSTEES' FEES.
         A. Investment Advisory Fees.  The Portfolio  has  retained   Eastbridge
Asset   Management,   Inc.("Eastbridge")  to make  investment  decisions for the
Portfolio. For its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement,  Eastbridge
receives  from  the  Portfolio a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual
rate equal to 0.35% of the Portfolio's  average daily net assets.  Eastbridge is
currently  waiving  its  investment  advisory  fee. For  the  fiscal  year ended
October 31, 1995,  the Portfolio  incurred  advisory fees  aggregating  $48,616,
all of which were waived.  (See Note 3).

         B.  Administration  Fees.  The Portfolio has retained EBC Distributors,
Inc.  ("EBC")  to  serve  as Administrator.  Certain  officers of  EBC serve  as
officers to the  Portfolio.  Under the  Administrative  Services Agreement,  EBC
provides  management  and  administrative  services  necessary for the operation
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 EBC.

For these services, EBC receives from the Portfolio a fee accrued daily and paid
monthly at an annual rate equal to 0.15% of the  Portfolio's  average  daily net
assets.  For the fiscal  year ended  October 31,  1995,  the  Portfolio  accrued
administration fees aggregating $20,835, all of which were waived. (See Note 3).

         C. Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses  of the  Trustees
amounted  to  $11,502  for  the  fiscal  year  ended October 31, 1995.  Trustees
affiliated with EBC or Eastbridge receive no fees for their services.

3. EXPENSE  REIMBURSEMENT  AND WAIVERS.  Eastbridge  and EBC have each agreed to
voluntarily  waive all or a portion of their fees  during the  initial  start up
period.  For the fiscal year ended  October 31,  1995,  all such fees,  totaling
$69,451,  were waived. In addition,  EBC has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the
Portfolio for certain expenses,  such that, following the aforementioned waivers
and  reimbursement,  the total operating expenses  (excluding taxes,  brokerage,
interest expense and extraordinary expenses) of the Portfolio will not exceed on
an annual basis 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio.  For the
fiscal year ended October 31, 1995, this reimbursement amounted to $72,602.

4.  INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES.  Purchases and  sales  of investment  securities,
other than short-term   obligations,  aggregated  $25,854,210  and  $33,018,683,
respectively.

Treasury futures transactions during the period are summarized as follows:

Report of Independant Accountants

December 20, 1995

To the Trustees of Income Portfolio Trust
and Investors in Managed U.S. Government Portfolio

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of   assets  and  liabilities and the
related statements of operations and of  changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present  fairly,  in  all material repects, the financial position of
Managed U. S. Government  Portfolio,  a  series  of  Income Portfolio Trust (the
"Trust") at October 31, 1995, the  results of its operations, the changes in its
net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity
with generally  accepted  accounting principles.  These financial statements and
financial  highlights  (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of  the  Trust'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 provide a resonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

As explained in note 6, on December 18, 1995, the Trustees of the Trust approved
and authorized the sale of assets and dissolution of the Trust.
