THE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
APRIL 30, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 commenced operations on October 4, 1993.
The portfolio's investment objective is to provide a high total return from a
portfolio of equity securities of foreign companies. 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 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. Securities
      listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last traded price or in the
      absence of recorded trades, at the readily available mean of the bid and
      asked prices on such exchange available before the time when net assets
      are valued. Independent pricing service procedures may also include the
      use of prices based on yields or prices of securities of comparable
      quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to the 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 sixty
      days or less are valued using 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 exchange rates
      at the end of the period. Purchases, sales, income and expenses are
      translated at the

30
<PAGE>
THE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
APRIL 30, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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. Amortization is calculated using the scientific
      method. 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.

   e) 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 correlation in
      movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the
      underlying hedged assets, and the possible inability of counterparties to
      meet the terms of their contracts.

   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

                                                                              31

      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 J.P. Morgan
      Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM"), a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P.
      Morgan & Co. Incorporated ("J.P. Morgan"). Under the terms of the
      agreement, the portfolio pays JPMIM at an annual rate of 0.60% of the
      portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months ended April 30,
      2000, such fees amounted to $1,735,754.

   b) The portfolio has retained Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a registered
      broker-dealer, to serve as the co-administrator and exclusive placement
      agent for the portfolio. Under a Co-Administration Agreement between FDI
      and the portfolio, 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, 2000, the
      fee for these services amounted to $2,465.

   c) The portfolio has an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Services
      Agreement") with Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. of New York ("Morgan"), a
      wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. 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 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

      assets of the master portfolios, other investors in the master portfolios
      for which Morgan provides similar services, and J.P. Morgan Series Trust.

      ("Group") to assist the trustees in exercising their overall supervisory
      responsibilities for the portfolio's affairs. The trustees of the

      portfolio's allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its services
      amounted to $4,873 for the six months ended April 30, 2000.

   e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each trustee for serving as
