THE TAX EXEMPT BOND PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FEBURARY 28,1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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 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 commenced operations on
July 12, 1993 and received a contribution of certain assets and liabilities,
including securities, with a value of $865,660,724 on that date from the J.P.
Morgan Tax Exempt Bond Fund in exchange for a beneficial interest in the
portfolio. The portfolio's investment objective is to provide a high level of
current income that is exempt from federal income tax 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 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 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.
      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. 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.
 
      Because of the large number of municipal bond issues outstanding, varying
      maturity dates, and the 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. The cost of securities is substantially the

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 six months ended February 28, 1999, such fees amounted to
      $1,242,479.
 
   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 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 February 28, 1999,
      the fee for these services amounted to $4,553.
 
   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 the 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 February 28, 1999, the fee
      for these services amounted to $113,026.
 
   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 $10,177 for the six months ended February 28, 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
 
                                                                              41
