1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The U.S. Fixed Income Portfolio (the "portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), as a no load, 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 $91,653,371 on that date from J.P. Morgan
Bond Fund in exchange for a beneficial interest in the portfolio. The
portfolio's investment objective is to provide a high total return consistent
with moderate risk of capital. The Declaration of Trust permits the trustees to
issue an unlimited number of beneficial interests in the portfolio.

Investments in emerging and international markets may involve certain
considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United
States. Future economic and political developments in emerging market and
foreign countries could adversely affect the liquidity or value, or both, of
such securities in which the portfolio is invested. The ability of the issuers
of debt, asset-backed and mortgage securities held by the portfolio to meet
their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a
specific industry or region. The value of asset-backed and mortgage securities
can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates or rapid principal
payments including pre-payments.

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) The value of each security for which readily available market quotations
      exist is based on a decision as to the broadest and most representative
      market for such security. The value of such security will be based either
      on the last sale price on a national securities exchange, or in the
      absence of recorded sales, at the average of readily available closing bid
      and asked prices on such exchanges. Securities listed on a foreign
      exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price available before the
      time when net assets are valued. Unlisted securities are valued at the
      average of the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market.
      Independent pricing services procedures include the use of prices based
      upon yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon,
      maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general
      market conditions. Securities or other assets for which market quotations
      are not readily available are valued at fair value in accordance with
      procedures established by the portfolio's trustees. All short-term
      portfolio securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are
      valued by the amortized cost method.

      Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter
      markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and
      may also take place on days on which the domestic market is closed. If
      events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between
      the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time
      when the portfolio's net assets are calculated, such securities will be
      valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and
      under the general supervision of the portfolio's trustees.

                                                                              31

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The portfolio's custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for
      investments in repurchase agreements on behalf of the portfolio. It is the
      policy of the portfolio to value the underlying collateral daily on a
      mark-to-market basis to determine that the value, including accrued
      interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest.
      In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the portfolio has
      the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in
      satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event
      of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
      and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
      proceedings.

   b) The books and records of the portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The
      market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities and
      foreign currency contracts are translated at the prevailing exchange rates
      at the end of the period. Purchases, sales, income and expenses are
      translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of
      such transactions. Translation gains and losses resulting from changes in
      exchange rates during the reporting period and gains and losses realized
      upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the
      Statement of Operations. Although the net assets of the portfolio are
      presented at the exchange rates and market values prevailing at the end of
      the period, the portfolio does not isolate the portion of the results of
      operations arising as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates from
      the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities
      during the period.

   c) Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend
      income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as of the time that the
      relevant ex-dividend date and amount becomes known. 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.

   d) The portfolio may enter into forward and spot foreign currency contracts
      to protect securities and related receivables and payables against
      fluctuations in future foreign currency rates. A forward contract is an
      agreement to buy or sell currencies of different countries on a specified
      future date at a specified rate. Risks associated with such contracts
      include the movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the
      U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform.

      The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency
      exchange rates. Contracts are valued daily at the current foreign exchange
      rates, and the change in the market value is recorded by the portfolio as
      unrealized appreciation or depreciation of forward foreign currency
      contract translations. At April 30, 1999, the portfolio had no open
      forward foreign currency contracts.

   e) Futures -- A futures contract is an agreement to purchase/sell a specified
      quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified future date or to
      make/receive a cash payment based on the value of a securities index. The
      price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the
      portfolio enters into the contract. Upon entering into such a contract the
      portfolio is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or
      liquid 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 the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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 when
      it was closed. The portfolio invests in futures contracts for the purpose
      of hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities the portfolio
      intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in
      prevailing market interest rates or securities movements. The use of
      futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in
      movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the
      underlying hedged assets, and the possible inability of counterparties to
      meet the terms of their contracts. Open futures contracts at April 30,
      1999 are summarized as follows:

   f) The portfolio may enter into commitments to buy and sell investments to
      settle on future dates as part of its normal investment activities. These
      commitments are reported at market value in the financial statements.
      Credit risk exists on these commitments to the extent of any unrealized
      gains on the underlying securities purchased and any unrealized losses on
      the underlying securities sold. Market risk exists on these commitments to
      the same extent as if the security were owned on a settled basis and gains
      and losses are recorded and reported in the same manner. However, during
      the commitment period, these investments earn no interest or dividends.

   g) 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 portfolio earns foreign income which may
      be subject to foreign withholding taxes at various rates.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

   a) The portfolio has an Investment Advisory Agreement with J.P. Morgan
      Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM"), a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P.
      Morgan & Co. Incorporated ("J.P. Morgan"). Under the terms of the
      Agreement, the portfolio pays JPMIM at an annual rate of 0.30% of the
      portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months ended April 30,
      1998, this fee amounted to $2,239,935.

                                                                              33

   b) The portfolio, on behalf of the fund, 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
      compensation of the portfolio's 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 six months ended April 30, 1999, the fee for these services
      amounted to $10,039.

   c) The portfolio has an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Services
      Agreement") with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("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 JPMIM acts as investment
      advisor (the "master portfolios") and J.P. Morgan 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 six months ended April 30, 1999, the fee for
      these services amounted to $197,184.

   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 $15,656 for the six months ended April 30, 1999.

   e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each trustee for serving as
      a trustee of the J.P. Morgan Funds, 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 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 $3,300.
