Note 1 -- Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

A. Organization

The Liquid Assets 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 commenced operations on June 7, 1993, as an
unincorporated trust under the laws of New York. The Declaration of Trust
permits the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees") to issue beneficial interests in
the Portfolio.

B. Security Valuation

Investments are stated at value, as that term is defined in the Act and the
published rules and regulations thereunder. Pursuant to Rule 2a-7 of the Act,
the Portfolio utilizes the amortized cost method to determine value. The
amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of
purchase, and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the
difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. In the event
that a deviation of 1/2 of 1% or more exists between the Portfolio's net asset
value on the basis of amortized cost and the net asset value calculated by using
available market quotations or an appropriate substitute, the Trustees will
promptly consider what action, if any, should be initiated, and where the
Trustees believe the extent of deviation may result in material dilution or
other unfair results to investors or shareholders, the Trustees shall take such
action to eliminate or reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable, such
dilution or unfair results.

C. Security Transactions and Interest Income

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis (date the order to
buy or sell is executed). 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.

The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions
deemed to be creditworthy by the Portfolio's Investment Adviser, subject to the
seller's agreement to repurchase and the Portfolio's agreement to resell such
securities at a mutually agreed upon price. Securities purchased subject to
repurchase agreements are deposited with the Portfolio's custodian, and pursuant
to the terms of the repurchase agreements must have an aggregate market value
greater than or equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all
times. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the
repurchase price plus accrued interest, the Portfolio will require the seller to
deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for
additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase
obligation, the Portfolio maintains the right to sell the underlying securities
at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller.

D. Investment Income

The Portfolio determines its net investment income (i.e., income other than net
realized long-term and short-term capital gains) on each valuation day and
allocates all such income as well as any realized gains and losses from security
transactions pro rata among the investors in the Portfolio at the time of such
determination.

E. 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. The cost of securities in the Portfolio for federal income tax
purposes is the same as for financial reporting purposes.

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 0.05 of 1% of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, this fee aggregated $3,156.

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 0.15 of 1% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 1995,
this fee aggregated $9,468.

Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive and reimburse expenses of the
Portfolio, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to 0.10 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 $13,487. 

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.
