NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1999

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,
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'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. The
portfolio commenced operations on July 12, 1993.

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-backed
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 portfolio values securities that are listed on an exchange using
      prices supplied daily by an independent pricing service that are based on
      the last traded price on a national securities exchange or in the absence
      of recorded trades, at the readily available mean of the bid and asked
      prices on such exchange, if such exchange or market constitutes the
      broadest and most representative market for the security. Securities
      listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last traded price or, in
      the absence of recorded trades, at the readily available mean of the bid
      and asked prices on such exchange available before the time when the net
      assets are valued. Independent pricing service procedures may also include
      the use of prices based on yields or prices of securities of comparable
      quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers,
      operating data, and general market conditions. Unlisted securities are
      valued at the average of the quoted bid and asked prices in the
      over-the-counter market provided by a principal market maker or dealer. If
      prices are not supplied by the portfolio's independent pricing service or
      principal market maker or dealer, such securities are priced using fair
      values in accordance with procedures adopted by the protfolio's trustees.
      All short-term securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less
      are valued using 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

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

      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.

   e) 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 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.

   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 fiscal year ended
      October 31, 1999, this fee amounted to $4,514,768.

   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 fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, the fee for these services
      amounted to $19,016.

   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

                                                                              33

      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
      fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, the fee for these services amounted to
      $390,355.

   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 $30,562 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 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 $5,800.

Statements which are included elsewhere in this report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Trustees and Investors of
The U.S. Fixed Income 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 U.S. Fixed Income Portfolio (the
"portfolio") at October 31, 1999, 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 October 31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
