NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The U.S. Small Company 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 July 19, 1993 and
received a contribution of certain assets and liabilities, including securities,
with a value of $200,358,103 on that date from The Pierpont Capital Appreciation
Fund in exchange for a beneficial interest in the Portfolio. At that date, net
unrealized appreciation of $29,458,073 was included in the contributed
securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited
number of beneficial interests in the Portfolio.
 
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
      exists 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
      portfolio securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are
      valued at amortized cost.
 
    b)Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend
      income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as of the time that the
      relevant ex-dividend date and amount becomes 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.
 
    c)The Portfolio intends to be treated as a partnership for federal income
      tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be subject to
      taxation 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.
 
    d)The Portfolio's custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for
      investments in repurchase agreements on behalf of the Portfolio. It is the
      policy of the Portfolio to value the underlying collateral daily on a
      mark-to-market basis to determine that the value, including accrued
      interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest.
      In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Portfolio has
      the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in
 
                                                                              31

      satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event
      of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
      and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal
      proceedings.
 
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 investment
      advisory agreement, the Portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of 0.60%
      of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the fiscal year ended May
      31, 1995, this fee amounted to $3,514,331
 
    b)The Portfolio retains Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("Signature")
      to serve as Administrator and exclusive placement agent. Signature
      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 Signature. The agreement provides for a fee to be
      paid to Signature at an annual rate determined by the following schedule:
      0.01% of the first $1 billion of the aggregate average daily net assets of
      the Portfolio and the other portfolios subject to the Administrative
      Services Agreement, 0.008% of the next $2 billion of such net assets,
      0.006% of the next $2 billion of such net assets, and 0.004% of such net
      assets in excess of $5 billion. The daily equivalent of the fee rate is
      applied to the daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the fiscal year
      ended May 31, 1995, Signature's fee for these services amounted to
      $38,215.
 
    c)The Portfolio has a Financial and Fund Accounting Services Agreement
      ("Services Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan receives a fee,
      based on the percentages described below, for overseeing certain aspects
      of the administration and operation of the Portfolio. The Services
      Agreement is also designed to provide an expense limit for certain
      expenses of the Portfolio. If total expenses of the Portfolio, excluding
      the advisory fee, custody expenses, fund services fee, and brokerage
      costs, exceed the expense limit of 0.10% of the Portfolio's average daily
      net assets up to $200 million, 0.05% of the next $200 million of average
      daily net assets, and 0.03% of average daily net sssets thereafter, Morgan

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Trustees and Investors of
The U.S. Small Company 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  U.S. Small  Company  Portfolio (the
"Portfolio") at May 31, 1995,  the results of its  operations for the year  then
ended, and the changes in its net assets and its supplementary data for the year
then ended and for the period July 19, 1993 (commencement of operations) through
May 31, 1994, 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 May 31,
1995  by correspondence  with the custodian  and brokers and  the application of
alternative auditing  procedures  where  confirmations  from  brokers  were  not
received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
