THE PRIME MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Prime Money Market 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 on November 4, 1992. The portfolio's investment objective
is to maximize current income consistent with the preservation of capital and
same-day 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 the 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.

   b) Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. 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 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. The cost of securities is substantially the
      same for book and tax purposes.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

   a) The portfolio has an Investment Advisory Agreement with J.P. Morgan
      Investment Management, Inc. ("JPMIM"), an affiliate of Morgan Guaranty
      Trust Company of New York ("Morgan") and a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P.
      Morgan & Co. Incorporated ("J.P. Morgan"). Under the terms of the

24
<PAGE>
THE PRIME MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOVEMBER 30, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      agreement, the portfolio pays JPMIM 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 fiscal year ended November 30, 1999 such
      fees amounted to $13,226,942.

   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 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 fiscal year ended November 30, 1999, the fee
      for these services amounted to $147,749.

   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 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 master portfolios, other investors in the master portfolios
      for which Morgan provides similar services, and J.P. Morgan Series Trust.
      For the fiscal year ended November 30, 1999, the fee for these services
      amounted to $3,127,566.

   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 $228,328 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1999.

   e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each trustee for serving as
      a trustee of the trust, 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 $43,400.

                                                                              25

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Trustees and Investors of
The Prime Money Market 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 Prime Money Market Portfolio (the
"portfolio") at November 30, 1999, and the results of its operations for the
year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended and the supplementary data for each of the five years in the
period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States, 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 November 30, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.
