THE MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MAY 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The  Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), 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 maximize
current income and maintain a high  level of liquidity. The Portfolio  commenced
operations  on July 12, 1993.  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)Investments  are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
      The amortized cost method  of valuation values a  security at its cost  at
      the  time of  purchase and thereafter  assumes a  constant amortization to
      maturity  of  any  discount  or  premium,  regardless  of  the  impact  of
      fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instruments.
 
      The Portfolio's custodian or designated subcustodians, as the case may be,
      under  triparty 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.
 
    b)Securities  transactions are  recorded on  a trade  date basis. Investment
      income consists of  interest income,  which includes  the amortization  of
      premiums and discounts. 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.  The cost of
      securities is the same for book and tax purposes.
 
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 0.20% of the  Portfolio's
      average  daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.10% on any excess over $1
      billion. For  the six  months ended  May 31,  1996, this  fee amounted  to
      $2,163,802.
 
    b)The   Portfolio  has  retained   Signature  Broker-Dealer  Services,  Inc.
      ("Signature") to  serve as  administrator and  exclusive placement  agent.
      Signature    provides   administrative   services    necessary   for   the
 
                                                                              21

      assets   of  the  Portfolio  and  the  other  portfolios  subject  to  the
      Administration 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  each day  to the  net assets  of the  Portfolio. For the
      period from December 1, 1995,  through December 28, 1995, Signature's  fee
      for these services amounted to $14,797.
 
      Effective December 29, 1995, the Administration Agreement was amended such
      that the fee charged would be equal to the Portfolio's proportionate share
      of a complex-wide fee based on the following annual schedule: 0.03% on the
      first  $7  billion  of  the  aggregate average  daily  net  assets  of the
      Portfolio and the other portfolios subject to this agreement (the  "Master
      Portfolios")  and 0.01% on  the aggregate average daily  net assets of the
      Master Portfolios in  excess of  $7 billion.  The portion  of this  charge
      payable  by the Portfolio is determined by the proportionate share its net
      assets bear  to  the total  net  assets of  The  Pierpont Funds,  The  JPM
      Institutional  Funds, The JPM Advisor Funds and the Master Portfolios. For
      the period from December 29, 1995,  through May 31, 1996, Signature's  fee
      for these services amounted to $183,965.
 
      Effective  August 1, 1996, administrative  functions provided by Signature
      will  be  provided  by  Funds  Distributor,  Inc.  ("FDI"),  a  registered
      broker-dealer,  and  by  Morgan.  FDI  will  also  become  the Portfolio's
      exclusive placement agent. Under a Co-Administration Agreement between FDI
      and the Portfolio, FDI's fees are to  be paid by the Portfolio. (see  Note
      2c).
 
    c)Until  August 31, 1995, the Portfolio  had a Financial and Fund Accounting
      Services Agreement with Morgan under which Morgan received a fee, based on
      the percentage  described below,  for overseeing  certain aspects  of  the
      administration  and operation  of the Portfolio  and was  also designed to
      provide an expense limit for certain  expenses of the Portfolio. This  fee
      was  calculated exclusive of  the advisory fee,  custody expenses and fund
      services fee at 0.03%  of the Portfolio's average  daily net assets.  From
      September  1, 1995, until December 28,  1995, an interim agreement between
      the Portfolio and Morgan  provided for the  continuation of the  oversight
      functions  that were outlined  under the agreement  and that Morgan should
      bear all of its expenses incurred in connection with these services.
 
      Effective December 29, 1995, the Portfolio entered into 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 proportionate share
      of an annual complex-wide charge. This charge is calculated daily based on
      the aggregate net assets of the  Master Portfolios in accordance with  the
      following  annual schedule:  0.06% on the  first $7 billion  of the Master
      Portfolios' aggregate average daily net assets and 0.03% of the  aggregate
      average  daily net  assets in  excess of $7  billion. The  portion of this
      charge payable by the Portfolio  is determined by the proportionate  share
      that  the Portfolio's  net assets  bear to  the net  assets of  the Master
      Portfolios and other investors in  the Master Portfolios for which  Morgan
      provides  similar services. For the period from December 29, 1995, through
      May 31, 1996, the fee for these services amounted to $350,175.

      Portfolio  represent  all   the  existing  shareholders   of  Group.   The
