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. 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. At a meeting on
November 12, 1998, the trustees elected to change the portfolio's fiscal year
end from August 31 to July 31.

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. Independent
      pricing service procedures may also 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, 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 portfolio's trustees. All short-term securities
      with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued using the
      amortized cost method.

   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
      same for book and tax purposes.

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

                                                                              41
<PAGE>
THE TAX EXEMPT BOND PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JULY 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Morgan and a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan, and the terms of the
      agreement will remain the same. For the eleven months ended July 31, 1999
      and the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998, such fees amounted to
      $2,295,351 and $2,017,415, respectively.

   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 eleven months ended July 31, 1999 and
      the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998, the fee for these services amounted
      to $7,665 and $9,832, respectively.

   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 eleven months ended July 31, 1999 and the
      fiscal year ended August 31, 1998, the fee for these services amounted to
      $203,283 and $198,156, respectively.

   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 $17,915 and $21,294, for the eleven months ended July 31, 1999
      and the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998, respectively.

   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 $3,400 and $4,500 for the eleven months ended
      July 31, 1999 and the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Trustees and Investors of
The Tax Exempt 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 Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio (the
"portfolio") at July 31, 1999, the results of its operations for the eleven
months ended July 31, 1999 and for the year ended August 31, 1998, and the
changes in its net assets for the eleven months ended July 31, 1999 and for the
two years ended August 31, 1998 and supplementary data for the eleven months
ended July 31, 1999 and for the five years ended August 31, 1998, 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 July 31, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.
