THE U.S. SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOVEMBER 30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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 Portfolio's investment objective is to provide a high total
return from a portfolio of equity securities of small companies. 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 ask prices on such exchange. 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 at 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.
 
   c) Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and realized net
      captial gains, if any, are declared and paid annually.
 
   d) 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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   d) The Portfolio's custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for
      investment 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
      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 agreement,
      the Portfolio pays Morgan a fee at an annual rate of 0.60% of the
      Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months ended November
      30, 1997, such fees amounted to $3,612,449.
 
   b) The Portfolio has retained Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a registered
      broker-dealer, to serve as co-administrator and exclusive placement agent.
      Under a Co-Administration Agreement between FDI and the Portfolio, FDI
      provides administrative services necessary for operations of the Portolio,
      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 November 30, 1997, the fee for these
      services amounted to $13,572.
 
   c) The Portfolio has an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Services
      Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan is responsible for overseeing
      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 certain 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 November 30, 1997, the fee
      for these services amounted to $183,228.
 
   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 $22,341 for the six months ended November 30, 1997.
