NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, 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. The Portfolio commenced operations on July 12, 1993 and
received a contribution of certain assets and liabilities, including securities,
with a value of $466,873,082 on that date from The Pierpont Tax Exempt Bond Fund
(the "Fund") in exchange for a beneficial interest in the Portfolio. The
Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Portfolio:

    a)Portfolio securities with a maturity of 60 days or more, including
      securities that are listed on an exchange or traded over the counter, are
      valued using prices supplied daily by an independent pricing service or
      services that (i) are based on the last sale price on a national
      securities exchange, or in the absence of recorded sales, at the readily
      available bid price on such exchange or at the quoted bid price in the
      over-the-counter market, if such exchange or market constitutes the
      broadest and most representative market for the security and (ii) in other
      cases, take into account various factors affecting market value, including
      yields and prices of comparable securities, indication as to value from
      dealers and general market conditions. If such prices are not supplied by
      the Portfolio's independent pricing services, such securities are priced
      in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees, All portfolio
      securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are valued by
      the amortized cost method. Because of the large number of municipal bond
      issues outstanding and the varying maturity dates, coupons and risk
      factors applicable to each issuer's books, no readily available market
      quotations exist for most municipal securities.

    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.

                                                                              29

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 investment
      advisory agreement, the Portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of 0.30%
      of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months ended
      February 28, 1995, this fee amounted to $573,638.

    b)The Portfolio retains Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("Signature")
      to serve as Administrator and Distributor. Signature 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 Signature. The agreement provides for a fee to be paid to
      Signature at an annual rate determined by the following schedule: 0.01% of
      the first $1 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets of the
      Portfolio and the other portfolios subject to the Administrative Services
      Agreement, 0.008% of the next $2 billion of such net assets, 0.006% of the
      next $2 billion of such net assets, and 0.004% of such net assets in
      excess of $5 billion. The daily equivalent of the fee rate is applied to
      the daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the six months ended February
      28, 1995, Signature's fee for these services amounted to $12,498.

    c)The Portfolio has a Financial and Fund Accounting Services Agreement
      ("Services Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan receives a fee,
      based on the percentages described below, for overseeing certain aspects
      of the administration and operation of the Portfolio. The Services
      Agreement is also designed to provide an expense limit for certain
      expenses of the Portfolio. If total expenses of the Portfolio, excluding
      the advisory fee, custody expenses, fund services fee, and brokerage
      costs, exceed the expense limit of 0.10% of the Portfolio's average daily
      net assets up to $200 million, 0.05% of the next $200 million of average
      daily net assets, and 0.03% of average daily net assets thereafter, Morgan
      will reimburse the Portfolio for the excess expense amount and receive no
      fee. Should such expenses be less than the expense limit, Morgan's fee
      would be limited to the difference between such expenses and the fee
      calculated under the Services Agreement. For the six months ended February
      28, 1995, this fee amounted to $91,425.

    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 are the sole shareholders of Group. The Portfolio's allocated
      portion of Group's costs in performing its services amounted to $20,370
      for the six months ended February 28, 1995.

    e)An aggregate fee of $55,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as a
      Trustee of The Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, The JPM
      Institutional Plus Fund and their corresponding Portfolios. The Trustees'
      Fees and Expenses shown in the financial statements represents the
      Portfolio's allocated portion of the total fees. On April 1, 1995, the
      aggregate annual trustee fee was increased to $65,000. The Trustee who
      serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of these Funds 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 $2,300.
