THE NEW YORK TAX EXEMPT BOND PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The New York Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio (the "portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, non-diversified,
open-end management investment company which was organized as a trust under the
laws of the State of New York on June 16, 1993. The portfolio commenced
operations on April 11, 1994. Prior to November 2, 1998, the portfolio's name
was The New York Total Return Bond Portfolio. The portfolio's investment
objective is to provide a high level of current income that is exempt from
federal income tax for New York residents, consistent with moderate risk of
capital. The portfolio invests a significant amount of its assets in debt
obligations issued by political subdivisions and authorities in the State of New
York. The issuers' ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic
and political developments within the State of New York. The Declaration of
Trust permits the trustees to issue an unlimited number of beneficial interests
in the portfolio.

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. Unlisted securities are valued at the
      average of the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market.
      Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily
      available are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures
      established by portfolio's trustees. Such procedures include the use of
      independent pricing services, which use 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. All
      short-term portfolio securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60
      days are valued by the amortized cost method.

   b) The portfolio incurred organization expenses in the amount of $11,473.
      These costs were deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis
      over a period not to exceed five years beginning with the commencement of
      operations.

   c) 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.

   d) 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.

                                                                              31

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

   a) Prior to October 28, 1998, the portfolio had an Investment Advisory
      Agreement with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"), a
      wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated ("J.P. Morgan").
      Under the terms of the Agreement, the portfolio paid Morgan at an annual
      rate of 0.30% of the portfolio's average daily net assets. Effective
      October 28, 1998, the portfolio's Investment Advisor is J.P. Morgan
      Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM"), an affiliate of Morgan and a wholly
      owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan, and the terms of the Agreement remain the
      same. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, such fees amounted to
      $796,521.

   b) The portfolio 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 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 March 31, 1999, the fee for
      these services amounted to $3,052.

   c) The portfolio has an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Services
      Agreement") with 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 fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, the fee for
      these services amounted to $73,366.

   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 $6,630 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999.

   e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each trustee for serving as
      a trustee of the trust, the J.P. Morgan Funds, the 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 $1,400.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Trustees and Investors of
The New York Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio
(Formerly The New York Total Return Bond 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 New York Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio (the
"portfolio") at March 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 four years in the period
then ended and for the period April 11, 1994 (commencement of operations) to
March 31, 1995, 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 March
31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.
