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. 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 portfolio values securities that are listed on an exchange using
      prices supplied daily by an independent pricing service that are based on
      the last traded price on a national securities exchange or in the absence
      of recorded trades, at the readily available mean of the bid and asked
      prices on such exchange, if such exchange or market constitutes the
      broadest and most representative market for the security. Securities
      listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last traded price or, in
      the absence of recorded trades, at the readily available mean of the bid
      and asked prices on such exchange available before the time when net
      assets are valued. Independent pricing service procedures may also include
      the use of prices based on yields or prices of securities of comparable
      quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers,
      operating data, and general market conditions. Unlisted securities are
      valued at the average of the quoted bid and asked price in the
      over-the-counter market provided by a principal market maker or dealer. If
      prices are not supplied by the portfolio's independent pricing service or
      principal market maker or dealer, such securities are priced using fair
      values in accordance with procedures adopted by the portfolio's trustees.
      All short-term securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less
      are valued using 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.

   b) The portfolio's custodian or designated subcustodians, 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-

                                                                              29

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      to-market basis to determine that the value, including accrued interest,
      is at least equal to the repurchase price plus the 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) 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 stated in foreign currencies are translated at
      the prevailing exchange rates at the end of the period when net assets are
      valued. 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 the 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.

   d) 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.

   e) The portfolio incurred organization expenses in the amount of $7,629 which
      were deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a
      period not to exceed five years beginning with the commencement of
      operations of the portfolio.

   f) 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 currency 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 October 31, 1999, the portfolio had no
      open forward foreign currency contracts.

   g) 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.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

   a) The portfolio has an Investment Advisory Agreement with J.P. Morgan
      Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM"), a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P.
      Morgan & Co. Inc. ("J.P. Morgan"). Under the terms of the Agreement, the
      portfolio pays JPMIM at an annual rate of 1.00% of the portfolio's average
      daily net assets. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, such fees
      amounted to $1,648,556.

   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 to 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 October 31, 1999
      the fee for these services amounted to $2,073.

   c) The portfolio has an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Services
      Agreement") with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"), a
      wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. 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 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 JPMIM provides similar service and J.P. Morgan
      Series Trust. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, the fee for
      these services amounted to $42,701.

   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 $3,334 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999.

   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 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 $600.

                                                                              31

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Trustees and Investors of
The Emerging Markets Equity 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 Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio (the
"portfolio") at October 31, 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 the each of the five years in
the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. 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 generally accepted auditing standards, 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 October 31, 1999 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
