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 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. The
portfolio's investment objective is to provide a high total return from a
portfolio of small company stocks. 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 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 by the amortized cost method.

   b) The portfolio's custodian or designated sub custodians, as the case may be
      under tri-party repurchase agreements, 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 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.

   c) 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.

   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.

                                                                              25

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

   a) Prior to October 1, 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 0.60% of the portfolio's average daily net assets.
      Effective October 1, 1998 the portfolio's Investment Advisor is J.P.
      Morgan Investment Management Inc.("JPMIM"), an affiliate of Morgan and a
      wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan, and the terms of the agreement
      remained the same. For the six months ended November 30, 1999, such fees
      amounted to $1,677,213.

      The portfolio may invest in one or more affiliated money market funds:
      J.P. Morgan Institutional Prime Money Market Fund, J.P. Morgan
      Institutional Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, J.P. Morgan Institutional
      Federal Money Market Fund and J.P. Morgan Institutional Treasury Money
      Market Fund. The Advisor has agreed to reimburse its advisory fee from the
      portfolio in an amount to offset any doubling of investment advisory and
      shareholder servicing fees. For the six months ended November 30, 1999,
      J.P. Morgan has agreed to reimburse the portfolio $14,558 under this
      agreement.

   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 six months ended November 30, 1999,
      the fee for these services amounted to $3,275.

   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 certain 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 portfolio, 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, 1999, the fee for these services amounted to $71,418.

   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

26

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      the portfolio represent all the existing shareholders of Group. The
      portfolio's allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its services
      amounted to $4,933 for the six months ended November 30, 1999.

   e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each trustee for serving as
      a trustee of the portfolio, 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 $1,100.
