NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The International Equity 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's investment objective is to provide a high
total return from a portfolio of equity securities of foreign companies. The
portfolio commenced operations on October 4, 1993 and received a contribution of
certain assets and liabilities, including securities, with a value of
$160,213,973 on that date from The Pierpont International Equity Fund, Inc. in
exchange for a beneficial interest in the portfolio. At that date, net
unrealized appreciation of $11,116,204 was included in the contributed
securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the trustees to issue an unlimited
number of beneficial interests in the portfolio.
 
Investments in international markets may involve certain considerations and
risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. Future
economic and political developments in 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 securities held by the portfolio to
meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in
a specific industry or region.
 
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 sale 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.
 
      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.
 
   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
 
                                                                              27

      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 the 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 the time that the
      relevant ex-dividend date and amount become 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. At April 30, 1998, the portfolio had open forward
      currency contracts as follows:

   e) Futures -- 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
 
                                                                              29

   f) 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 Morgan Guaranty
      Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"). Under the terms of the agreement,
      the portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of 0.60% of the portfolio's
      average daily net assets. For the six months ended April 30, 1998, such
      fees amounted to $1,946,850.
 
   b) The portfolio has retained Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a registered

      FDI provides administrative services necessary for the operation 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 six months ended April 30, 1998, the fee for
      these services amounted to $6,766.

      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 other portfolios for which
      Morgan 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 April 30,
      1998, the fee for these services amounted to $97,020.

      ("Group") to assist the trustees in exercising their overall supervisory

      portfolio's allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its services
      amounted to $10,564 for the six months ended April 30, 1998.
 
   e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each trustee for serving as
      a trustee of the J.P. Morgan Funds, the J.P. Morgan Institutional Funds,
      the master portfolios and J.P. Morgan Series Trust. The Trustees' Fees and
