THE EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
APRIL 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The Emerging Markets Equity 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 on June 16, 1993. The portfolio
commenced operations on November 15, 1993 and received a contribution of certain
assets and liabilities, including securities, with a value of $223,722,513 on
that date from the JPM Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Ltd. in exchange for a
beneficial interest in the portfolio. The portfolio's investment objective is to
provide a high total return from a portfolio of equity securities of companies
in emerging markets. The Declaration of the Trust permits the Trustees to issue
an unlimited number of beneficial interests in the portfolio.
 
Investments in emerging markets may involve certain considerations and risks not
typically associated with investments in the United States. Future economic and
political developments in emerging market countries could adversely affect the
liquidity or value, or both, of such securities in which the portfolio is
invested. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the
portfolio to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political
developments in a specific industry or region.
 
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
      short term portfolio securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60
      days are valued by the amortized cost method.
 
      Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter
      markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and
      may also take place on days on which the domestic market is closed. If
      events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between
      the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time
      when the portfolio's net assets are calculated, such securities will be
      valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and
      under the general supervision of the portfolio's trustees.
 
      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
 
30

THE EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      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) The books and records of the portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The
      market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities and
      foreign currency contracts are translated at the prevailing exchange rates
      at the end of the period. Purchases, sales, income and expense are
      translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of
      such transactions. Translation gains and losses resulting from changes in
      exchange rates during the reporting period and gains and losses realized
      upon settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the
      Statement of Operations. Although the net assets of the portfolio are
      presented at the exchange rates and market values prevailing at the end of
      the period, the portfolio does not isolate the portion of the results of
      operations arising as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates from
      the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities
      during the period.
 
   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 may enter into forward and spot foreign currency contracts
      to protect securities and related receivables and payables against
      fluctuations in future foreign currency rates. A forward contract is an
      agreement to buy or sell currencies of different countries on a specified
      future date at a specified rate. Risks associated with such contracts
      include the movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the
      U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform.
 
      The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency
      exchange rates. Contracts are valued daily at the current foreign exchange
      rates and the change in the market value is recorded by the portfolio as
      unrealized appreciation or depreciation of forward and spot foreign
      currency contract translations. At April 30, 1998, the portfolio had no
      open forward foreign currency contracts.
 
   e) 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 portfolio may be subject to taxes
      imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based
      on income and/or capital gains earned. Taxes are accrued and applied to
      net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized
      appreciation, as applicable, as the income and/or capital gains are
      earned.
 
   f) The portfolio incurred organization expenses in the amount of $7,629.
      Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan") has paid the
      organization expenses of the portfolio. The portfolio
 
                                                                              31

      has agreed to reimburse Morgan for these costs which are being deferred
      and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period not to exceed five
      years beginning with the commencement of operations of the portfolio.
 
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
   a) The portfolio has an Investment Advisory Agreement with Morgan. Under the
      terms of the agreement, the portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of
      1.00% of the portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months
      ended April 30, 1998, such fees amounted to $2,571,540.
 
   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 April 30, 1998, the
      fee for these services amounted to $5,441.
 
   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 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 the aggregate average daily net assets and 0.04% of the
      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 April 30, 1998, the fee for
      these services amounted to $77,165.
 
   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 $8,484 for the six months ended April 30, 1998.
 
   e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each trustee for serving as
      a trustee of 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 represent the portfolio's
      allocated portion of the total fees and expenses. The portfolio's Chairman
      and Chief Executive Officer also serves as

The securities shown above are restricted as to sale and have been valued at
fair value in accordance with the procedures described in Note 1a. The value of
these securities at April 30, 1998 is $7,654,497 representing 2.4% of the
portfolio's net assets.
 
5. CREDIT AGREEMENT
 
The portfolio is party to a revolving line of credit agreement (the "Agreement")
as discussed more fully in Note 4 of the fund's Notes to the Financial
Statements which are included elsewhere in this report.
 
6. OTHER MATTERS
 
On January 23, 1998, the portfolio received a withdrawal request in the amount
of $381,757,617 as discussed in Note 5 of the fund's Notes to Financial
Statements which are included elsewhere in this report. This amount is included
in Withdrawals shown on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The withdrawal
which was made in-kind by transferring certain assets and liabilities, including
securities, directly to a non-U.S. fund resulted in a net realized loss on
transfer of the securities in the amount of $74,439,112, which is included in
Net Realized Loss on Investment Transactions in the Statement of Operations.
