LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE J.P. MORGAN TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND
October 1, 1998
Dear Shareholder:
The previous 12-month period was largely dominated by events in Asia and more
recently, Russia, where a breakdown in currency and default on debt occurred
in August. U.S. financial markets reacted with an abrupt and broad drop in
asset values, along with major stock markets around the world, which fell
anywhere from 10% to 20%. Emerging markets equity indices were hit the
hardest, plunging nearly 30% during the period. Investors continued to look
to money market funds as a traditional safe haven. During this period, the
J.P. Morgan Tax Exempt Money Market Fund posted a positive 3.23% return,
while its benchmark, the IBC Tax Free Money Fund Average posted a gain of
3.04% over the same period. The fund's current average 7-day yield of 2.91%
translates to a tax equivalent yield of 4.82%, assuming a 39.6% federal
income tax rate.
The fund maintained a stable $1.00 net asset value over the year. On August 31,
1998, the assets of the fund were $1.2 billion while the net assets of The Tax
Exempt Money Market Portfolio, in which the fund invests, were $1.8 billion.
Dividends of approximately $0.03 per share were paid from ordinary income, all
of which is exempt from federal income taxes.
This report includes a discussion with Dan Mulvey, the portfolio manager
primarily responsible for The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio. In this
interview, Dan talks about the events of the previous 12 months that had the
greatest effect on the portfolio, and discuss how our investment strategy was
used to protect assets in a difficult environment. We hope this helps you
understand some of the factors that affect how your money is managed.
As chairman and president of Asset Management Services, we appreciate your
investment in the fund. If you have any comments or questions, please call your
Morgan representative or J.P. Morgan Funds Services at (800) 521-5411.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Ramon de Oliveira /s/ Keith M. Schappert

FUND PERFORMANCE
EXAMINING PERFORMANCE
One way to look at performance is to review a fund's average annual total
return. This figure takes the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and shows
what would have happened if the fund had achieved that return by performing at a
constant rate each year. Average annual total returns represent the average
yearly change of a fund's value over various time periods, typically one, five,
or ten years (or since inception). Total returns for periods of less than one
year are not annualized and provide a picture of how a fund has performed over
the short term.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER Q&A
[PHOTO]
The following is an interview with DAN MULVEY, vice president, responsible
for managing The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio, in which the fund
invests. Dan joined Morgan in September 1991 after six years at Equitable
Life where he was a trader for money market, government, and corporate
securities. He earned a BA in economics from the University of Illinois and
an MBA from Fordham University. This interview was conducted on September 21,
1998, and represents Dan's views on that date.
DURING THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW, THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE BECAME MORE
COMPETITIVE, STACKING UP FAVORABLY AGAINST OUR COMPETITORS. WHAT FACTORS
CONTRIBUTED?
DM: Specifically, we reduced our holdings in floating rate paper and
increased our holdings in commercial paper and notes. In June, we took
advantage of attractive percentages versus taxables and seasonal note
issuance to extend the average maturity of the portfolio. We also increased
our holdings in synthetic Variable Rate Demand Notes (VRDNs), which offer
additional yield versus generic VRDNs. We think these decisions combined
contributed five additional basis points of yield to the portfolio during
this year.
THE FLIGHT TO QUALITY CONTINUES AS INVESTORS SEEK A HAVEN FROM VOLATILITY.
PLEASE COMMENT ON HOW THIS HAS AFFECTED THE PORTFOLIO.
DM: What we're seeing is a more pronounced flow to fixed income funds and
still a decent flow to money market funds.
A RELATED ISSUE IS THE CURRENT EXPECTATION THAT THE FEDERAL RESERVE WILL EASE
IN THE NEAR TERM. PLEASE COMMENT.
DM: We expect to see some easing -- and we believe the volatility that we're
seeing in the markets will prompt an ease in monetary policy. We originally
expected this easing to occur some time at the end of 1998 or early 1999.
However, the kind of volatility we've seen lately could very well push the
Fed to do something sooner than later. The good news for the fund is, if that
should happen, we're positioned to perform well under those circumstances.
PLEASE EXPLAIN.
DM: In anticipation of this action by the Fed, we've gotten the portfolio as
laddered as possible, recognizing that additional assets may be invested at
increasingly lower rates. So we're trying to manage this position with a keen
eye, if you will, while carefully maintaining liquidity in the fund should
monies go out, as well.
This is exactly the rationale behind our decision to increase weightings in
commercial paper and notes. Unlike the LIBOR curve, there's some steepness,
or slope, to the tax exempt curve right now, so even if nothing happens with
the Fed the portfolio will still benefit.
3
<PAGE>
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE MONTHS AHEAD? AND HOW ARE YOU POSITIONING THE
PORTFOLIO IN LIGHT OF YOUR FORECAST?
DM: We're going to maintain the laddered structure to the portfolio. We
think this offers us the best possible liquidity and the best structure in
these rather uncertain markets with uncertain asset flows. Given our
expectations for lower taxable rates, it makes being laddered not a really
risky bet for the portfolio, which we believe is in the fund's best interest.
As well, it's imperative that we maintain the highest credit quality -- this
allows us to remain liquid if market trends reverse themselves. Another
important point to note is that given the short-term taxable money market is
seeing an inverted yield curve right now, and the tax exempt curve has some
slope, as we mentioned earlier, we see it as an opportunity to extend the
average maturity and not adversely affect the overall yield of the portfolio.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
AVERAGE MATURITY: The weighted average time to maturity of the entire
portfolio with the weights equal to the percentage of the portfolio invested
in each security (see Maturity).
CREDIT RATING: The rating assigned to a bond or note by independent rating
agencies such as Standard & Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investors Service.
In evaluating creditworthiness, these agencies assess the issuer's present
financial condition and future ability and willingness to make principal and
interest payments when due.
CREDIT RISK: Financial risk that an obligation will not be paid and a loss
will result.
LETTER OF CREDIT: Instrument or document issued by a bank guaranteeing the
payment of a customer's drafts up to a stated amount and eliminating the
seller's risk.
MATURITY: The date on which the life of a financial instrument ends through
cash or physical settlement or expiration with no value or the date a
security comes due and fully payable.
VARIABLE RATE DEMAND NOTE: Note representing borrowings that is payable on
demand and that bears interest tied to a base money market rate, usually the
bank prime rate. The rate on the note is adjusted upward or downward each
time the base rate changes.
YIELD: Coupon rate of interest on a bond divided by the purchase price. As a
bond's price falls, its yield rises and vice versa.
YIELD CURVE: A graph showing the term structure or level of interest rates
ranging from the shortest to the longest maturities. The resulting curve
shows if short-term interest rates are higher or lower than long-term rates.
Normally, the longer the bond, the higher the yield it offers, resulting in a
positive yield curve. An inverted yield curve can occur when there are
supply/demand imbalances for various maturities, which results in short-term
rates at higher levels than longer-term instruments.
YIELD SPREAD: The difference in yield between different types of securities.
For example, if a Treasury bond is yielding 6.00% and a municipal is yielding
5.00%, the yield spread is 1.00% or 100 basis points.

J.P. MORGAN TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The J.P. Morgan Tax Exempt Money Market Fund (the "fund") is a separate series
of the J.P. Morgan Funds, a Massachusetts business trust (the "trust") which was
organized on November 4, 1992. The trust is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The fund, prior to its tax-free reorganization on July 11, 1993, to a series of
the trust, operated as a stand-alone mutual fund. Costs related to the
reorganization were borne by Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York
("Morgan"). This report includes periods which preceded the fund's
reorganization and reflects the operations of the predecessor entity. Prior to
January 1, 1998, the trust's and the fund's names were The JPM Pierpont Funds
and The JPM Pierpont Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, respectively.
The fund invests all of its investable assets in The Tax Exempt Money Market
Portfolio (the "portfolio"), a diversified open-end management investment
company having the same investment objective as the fund. The value of such
investment included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects the
fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the portfolio (67% at August
31, 1998). The performance of the fund is directly affected by the performance
of the portfolio. The financial statements of the portfolio, including the
Schedule of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be
read in conjunction with the fund's financial statements.
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. Actual amounts could differ from
those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
a) Valuation of securities by the portfolio is discussed in Note 1a of the
portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in
this report.
b) The fund records its share of net investment income, realized gain and
loss and adjusts its investment in the portfolio each day. All the net
investment income and realized gain and loss of the portfolio is allocated
pro rata among the fund and other investors in the portfolio at the time
of such determination.
c) Substantially all the fund's net investment income and net realized
capital gain, if any, are declared as dividends daily and paid monthly.
Net short-term capital gains, if any, will be distributed in accordance
with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), and may be reflected in the fund's daily dividends.
Substantially all the realized net long-term capital gains, if any, are
declared and paid annually, except that an additional capital gains
distribution may be made in a given year to the extent necessary to avoid
the imposition of federal excise tax on the fund.
d) The fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes
and intends to comply with the provisions of the Code, as amended,
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
substantially all of its income, including net realized capital gains, if
any, within the prescribed time periods. Accordingly, no provision for
federal income or excise tax is necessary. For United States federal
income tax purposes, the fund had a capital loss carryforward at August
31, 1998 of $272,960, of which $36,548 expires in 2003 and $236,412
expires in 2004. The fund utilized $15,353 of its capital loss
carryforward in the current year. To the extent that this capital loss is
used to offset future capital
12

J.P. MORGAN TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
AUGUST 31, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed to
shareholders. The fund incurred approximately $3,525 of realized long term
capital losses in the period from November 1, 1997 to August 31, 1998.
These losses were deferred for tax purposes until September 1, 1998.
e) Expenses incurred by the trust with respect to any two or more funds in
the trust are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each fund in
the trust, except where allocations of direct expenses to each fund can
otherwise be made fairly. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are
charged to that fund.
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
a) The trust, on behalf of the fund, has retained Funds Distributor, Inc.
("FDI"), a registered broker-dealer, to serve as co-administrator and
distributor for the fund. Under a Co-Administration Agreement between FDI
and the trust on behalf of the fund, FDI provides administrative services
necessary for the operations of the fund, furnishes office space and
facilities required for conducting the business of the fund and pays the
compensation of the fund's officers affiliated with FDI. The fund has
agreed to pay FDI fees equal to its allocable share of an annual
complex-wide charge of $425,000 plus FDI's out-of-pocket expenses. The
amount allocable to the fund is based on the ratio of the fund's net
assets to the aggregate net assets of the trust and certain other
investment companies subject to similar agreements with FDI. For the
fiscal year ended August 31, 1998, the fee for these services amounted to
$28,462.
b) The trust, on behalf of the fund, has an Administrative Services Agreement
(the "Services Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan is responsible
for certain aspects of the administration and operation of the fund. Under
the Services Agreement, the fund has agreed to pay Morgan a fee equal to
its allocable share of an annual complex-wide charge. This charge is
calculated based on the aggregate average daily net assets of the
portfolio and the other portfolios in which the trust and the J.P. Morgan
Institutional Funds (formerly The JPM Institutional Funds) invest (the
"master portfolios") and J.P. Morgan Series Trust (formerly JPM Series
Trust) in accordance with the following annual schedule: 0.09% on the
first $7 billion of their aggregate average daily net assets and 0.04% of
their aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $7 billion less the
complex-wide fees payable to FDI. The portion of this charge payable by
the fund is determined by the proportionate share that its net assets bear
to the net assets of the trust, the master portfolios, other investors in
the master portfolios for which Morgan provides similar services, and J.P.
Morgan Series Trust. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998, the fee
for these services amounted to $354,364.
c) The trust, on behalf of the fund, has a Shareholder Servicing Agreement
with Morgan to provide account administration and personal account
maintenance service to fund shareholders. The Agreement provides for the
fund to pay Morgan a fee for these services which is computed daily and
paid monthly at an annual rate. This rate was 0.15% of the average daily
net assets of the fund up to and including $2 billion and 0.10% on any
excess over $2 billion. Effective August 1, 1998 the rate for the first $2
billion increased to 0.25%. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998, the
fee for these services amounted to $1,907,080.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morgan, Charles Schwab & Co. ("Schwab") and the trust are parties to
separate services and operating agreements (the "Schwab Agreements")
whereby Schwab makes fund shares available to customers of investment
advisors and other financial intermediaries who are Schwab's clients. The
fund is not responsible for payments to Schwab under the Schwab
Agreements; however, in the event the Services Agreement with Schwab is
terminated for reasons other than a breach by Schwab and the relationship
between the trust and Morgan is terminated, the fund would be responsible
for the ongoing payments to Schwab with respect to pre-termination shares.
d) The trust, on behalf of the fund, has a Fund Services Agreement with
Group, Inc. ("Group") to assist the trustees in exercising their overall
supervisory responsibilities for the trust's affairs. The trustees of the
trust represent all the existing shareholders of Group. The fund's
allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its services amounted to
$38,366 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998.
e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each trustee for serving as
a trustee of the trust, the J.P. Morgan Institutional Funds, the master
portfolios and J.P. Morgan Series Trust. The Trustees' Fees and Expenses
shown in the financial statements represents the fund's allocated portion
of the total fees and expenses. The trust's Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer also serves as Chairman of Group and receives compensation and
employee benefits from Group in his role as Group's Chairman. The
allocated portion of such compensation and benefits included in the Fund
Services Fee shown in the financial statements was $8,100.

highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the fund'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 reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

THE TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio (the "portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end
management investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of
the State of New York on January 29, 1993. The portfolio commenced operations on
July 12, 1993 and received a contribution of certain assets and liabilities,
including securities, with a value of $955,814,753 on that date from The
Pierpont Tax Exempt Money Market Fund in exchange for a beneficial interest in
the portfolio. The portfolio's investment objective is to provide a high level
of current income exempt from federal income tax and maintain a high level of
liquidity.The Declaration of Trust permits the trustees to issue an unlimited
number of beneficial interests in the portfolio.
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. Actual amounts could differ from
those estimates. 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.
b) Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest
income, which includes the amortization of premiums and discounts, if any,
is recorded on an accrual basis. 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 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. The cost of securities is substantially 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 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. Effective October 1, 1998 the portfolio's Investment Advisor will
be J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
J.P. Morgan & Co. Inc., and the terms of the Agreement will remain the
same. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998, such fees amounted to
$2,710,567.
b) The portfolio has retained Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a registered
broker-dealer, to serve as the co-administrator and exclusive placement
agent. Under a Co-Administration Agreement between FDI and the portfolio,
FDI 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
37
<PAGE>
THE TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
AUGUST 31, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
compensation of the officers affiliated with FDI. The portfolio has agreed
to pay FDI fees equal to its allocable share of an annual complex-wide
charge of $425,000 plus FDI's out-of-pocket expenses. The amount allocable
to the portfolio is based on the ratio of the portfolio's net assets to
the aggregate net assets of the portfolio and certain other investment
companies subject to similar agreements with FDI. For the fiscal year
ended August 31, 1998, the fee for these services amounted to $24,913.
c) The portfolio has an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Services
Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan is responsible for certain
aspects of the administration and operation of the portfolio. Under the
Services Agreement, the portfolio has agreed to pay Morgan a fee equal to
its allocable share of an annual complex-wide charge. This charge is
calculated based on the aggregate average daily net assets of the
portfolio and certain other portfolios for which Morgan acts as investment
advisor (the "master portfolios") and J.P. Morgan Series Trust (formerly
JPM Series Trust) in accordance with the following annual schedule: 0.09%
on the first $7 billion of their aggregate average daily net assets and
0.04% of their aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $7 billion
less the complex-wide fees payable to FDI. The portion of this charge
payable by the portfolio is determined by the proportionate share that its
net assets bear to the net assets of the master portfolios, other
investors in the master portfolios for which Morgan provides similar
services, and J.P. Morgan Series Trust. For the fiscal year ended August
31, 1998, the fee for these services amounted to $502,654.
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 trustees of the
portfolio represent all the existing shareholders of Group. The
portfolio's allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its services
amounted to $53,097 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998.
e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each trustee for serving as
a trustee of the trust, the J.P. Morgan Funds (formerly The JPM Pierpont
Funds), the J.P. Morgan Institutional Funds (formerly The JPM
Institutional Funds), the master portfolios, and J.P. Morgan Series Trust.
The Trustees' Fees and Expenses shown in the financial statements
represents the portfolio's allocated portion of the total fees and
expenses. The portfolio's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also serves
as Chairman of Group and receives compensation and employee benefits from
Group in his role as Group's Chairman. The allocated portion of such
compensation and benefits included in the Fund Services Fee shown in the
financial statements was $11,200.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Investors of
The Tax Exempt 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 Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio (the
"portfolio") at August 31, 1998, 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 five years in the period
then ended, 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 August
31, 1998 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.
