NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Organization

The Capital Appreciation 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 October 28, 1992
as an unincorporated trust under the laws of New York and commenced operations
on March 9, 1993. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees (the
"Trustees") to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

In fiscal year 1995, the Portfolio changed it's year end to September 30th.

B. Security Valuation

The Portfolio's investments are valued each business day by an independent
pricing service (the "Service") approved by the Board of 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.
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 Board of 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 an annual rate of 0.10 of 1% of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets. For the period January 1, 1995 to September 30, 1995, this fee
aggregated $74,224.

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 period January 1, 1995 to
September 30, 1995, this fee aggregated $482,453.

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 period January 1, 1995 to
September 30, 1995, expenses of the Portfolio have been reduced $131,702.

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 period January 1, 1995 to September 30,
1995, were $136,801,394 and $114,800,140, respectively. For federal income tax
purposes, the tax basis of investments held at September 30, 1995 was
$112,043,941. The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments
was $33,445,086 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all
investments was $732,884.

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


To the Trustees and Holders of Beneficial Interest of the Capital Appreciation
Portfolio:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the
Capital Appreciation Portfolio, including the schedule of portfolio
investments, as of September 30, 1995, and the related statement of operations
for the nine months then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 and the year ended December 31, 1994, and
the financial highlights for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, for the
year ended December 31, 1994 and for the period March 9, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to December 31, 1993. 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
September 30, 1995 by correspondence withthe custodian and brokers. 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 Capital Appreciation Portfolio as of September 30, 1995, the
result 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.
