LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF JPM SERIES TRUST II

August 15, 1997

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide you with the semi-annual report for the JPM Series
Trust II.

Financial markets in the U.S. continued to focus on the economy during the
first half of 1997. The economy was exceptionally robust in the first
quarter, eventually posting a 4.9% GDP figure that was well above
expectations, outpacing even the rapid growth of the previous quarter. After
starting the year with a bang, stocks sold off in March as the rapidly
expanding economy revived fears of inflation and higher interest rates. With
market participants worried that equities might have risen too far too fast,
stocks fell into negative territory for the year to date in April. This
correction was short-lived, however, and the bull market quickly resumed its
advance. Economic data gradually revealed an economy cooling to a trend-like
pace, and market indices soared again to record highs.

The S&P 500 Index posted a total return of 20.61% for the first six months of
1997. Small company stocks also provided solid returns, but trailed the
performance of larger companies. The Russell 2000 Index reflected this with a
total return of 10.20% during the reporting period.

International stocks also advanced, with the MSCI EAFE Index producing a
six-month return of 11.21%. International equity markets benefited from a
global environment of low inflation, low interest rates, and continued
economic recovery in both Japan and Continental Europe.

On the fixed income side, concern over inflationary pressures plagued the
stock market and roiled the bond market across all sectors, particularly in
March. As anticipated, the Federal Reserve raised the Fed funds rate in March
from 5.25% to 5.50%. Paralleling the stock market, bonds rallied in April and
ended the first half of 1997 with strong returns. For the period under
review, the Salomon Broad Investment Grade Bond Index provided a total return
of 3.06%.

JPM TREASURY MONEY
MARKET PORTFOLIO

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

We are pleased to report that JPM Treasury Money Market Portfolio provided a
2.28% return for the six months ended June 30, 1997, placing it in the top
third among Variable Annuity Money Market Portfolios tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. The Portfolio's net assets advanced from $1.4
million on December 31, 1996 to $1.5 million at the end of the period under
review.

During the past six months, conflicting economic data caused market
perceptions to flip flop as to the future strength of the economy and the
need for the Federal Reserve to tighten monetary policy. The result was a
volatile market environment, through which the Portfolio was guided with a
conservative strategy. While the Portfolio's average maturity was lengthened
in late March to capitalize on attractive yields, it has again been reigned
in to a defensive level in anticipation of further Fed action.

The table below presents the Portfolio's average annual total return over
various time periods, as well as on a since-inception basis. Total returns
for periods of less than one year are not annualized and provide a picture of
how the Portfolio has performed over the short term.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER Q&A

[PHOTO]

Following is an interview with ROBERT R. (SKIP) JOHNSON, a member of the
portfolio management team for JPM Treasury Money Market Portfolio. Prior to
joining Morgan in 1988, he founded and managed R.R. Johnson Associates,
merchant bankers. He also held senior positions with the Bank of Montreal and
U.S. Steel. This interview was conducted July 29, 1997 and reflects Skip's
views on that date.

FIXED INCOME MARKETS OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS HAVE BEEN DOMINATED BY THE
QUESTION OF WHETHER THE FEDERAL RESERVE WOULD INCREASE THE FEDERAL FUNDS
RATE; AND CONFLICTING ECONOMIC DATA PRODUCED A FAIR AMOUNT OF MARKET
VOLATILITY -- ESPECIALLY PRIOR TO THE ONE FED TIGHTENING THAT OCCURRED DURING
THE PERIOD ON MARCH 25. (THE FED FUNDS RATE WAS RAISED FROM 5.25% TO 5.50%.)
HOW DID WE POSITION THE PORTFOLIO IN RESPONSE TO ALL OF THIS UNCERTAINTY?

RRJ: Although the economy has been showing moderate growth recently, after a
strong fourth quarter of 1996 and an even stronger first quarter of this
year, the economic data over the period has been somewhat ambiguous as to the
direction of the economy. While inflation remained low, and other indicators,
such as durable goods orders, suggested no surge in the economy, unemployment
fell to historically low levels, raising fears of wage pressures. The first
quarter was a period when being conservative was helpful.

By the end of March, following the Fed tightening, we lengthened the
Portfolio's average maturity somewhat to take advantage of higher yields, and
received some benefit from this when rates fell in April. Somewhat weaker
consumer demand and a slowdown in growth in the second quarter resulted in
rates continuing to fall throughout May and June. Since we think that rates
are unlikely to drop much further and the economy appears to be
strengthening, we have shortened the Portfolio's maturity and developed a
defensive posture.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, AND HOW WILL YOU POSITION THE
PORTFOLIO?

RRJ: We continue to believe there will be a third-quarter bounce back in
economic growth, as the economy is fundamentally strong and monetary
conditions continue to ease. There is reason to be cautious because demand is
not likely to capitulate with jobs plentiful, confidence strong, and consumer
credit growth not accelerating. Consequently, we plan on reducing the
Portfolio's average life from its 39-day level on June 30, given our
expectation of Fed intervention before year end.

JPM BOND PORTFOLIO

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The six months ending June 30, 1997 saw a healthy 3.06% advance for U.S. bond
returns, as measured by the Salomon Brothers Broad Investment Grade (BIG) Bond
Index. A generally favorable environment for fixed income investments was
offset throughout much of this period by the Federal Reserve's belief that
robust U.S. economic growth could translate into higher inflation. Its
subsequent decision to preempt such inflation by raising the Federal funds
rate from 5.25% to 5.50% on March 25 triggered a dramatic downturn in U.S.
bond prices. A strong market rally, which began in April, more than recouped
these losses by the end of the Portfolio's six-month reporting period.

In such a challenging environment, a diversified investment strategy
comprised of ACTIVE DURATION MANAGEMENT, SECURITY SELECTION, and SECTOR
ALLOCATION enabled JPM Bond Portfolio to provide its shareholders with an
attractive absolute return of 2.78% for the six months under review. On a
since-inception basis,* Lipper reports that the Portfolio's total returns
have placed it 23rd (or in the 16th percentile) within a competitive universe
of 146 similar Portfolios included in the Lipper Variable Annuity Corporate
Debt A-Rated Average.

A key reason why the Portfolio underperformed its benchmark for the period is
that performance of the Salomon Brothers BIG Bond Index does not include fees
or operating expenses, whereas the performance results of the Portfolio are
reported net of fees.

The Portfolio's net asset value per share increased from $10.65 on December
31, 1996 to $10.90 at the end of the reporting period, after paying $0.04 per
share in dividends. The Portfolio's net assets stood at $5.2 million at the
end of the reporting period, up from $2.8 million on December 31, 1996.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER Q&A

[PHOTO]

Following is an interview with WILLIAM G. TENNILLE, a member of the portfolio
management team for JPM Bond Portfolio. Bill joined Morgan in 1992 and has
extensive experience across a broad range of markets, including mortgage
securities and derivatives. This interview was conducted on July 22, 1997 and
reflects Bill's views on that date.

THE SIX MONTHS ENDING JUNE 30, 1997 WERE SOMETHING OF A ROLLER COASTER RIDE
FOR U.S. BOND INVESTORS. DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE PERIOD, THE MARKET
EXPERIENCED FALLOUT CAUSED BY ACCELERATING ECONOMIC GROWTH, WHICH ULTIMATELY
LED TO A SHORT-TERM RATE INCREASE IN MARCH BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE, THEN CAME
TO A CLOSE AMID WANING INFLATION FEARS AND A MARKET RALLY. HOW DID YOUR
MANAGEMENT TEAM'S KEY INVESTMENT DECISIONS ENHANCE THE PORTFOLIO'S
PERFORMANCE AS RATES BACKED UP?

WGT: As always, the Portfolio's duration was maintained within a relatively
tight band around the The Salomon Brothers Broad Investment Grade Bond Index.
In fact, we managed duration within one-eighth of one year around the Index
during the entire six months under review, and kept it neutral to the
benchmark throughout most of the period's last four months.

When an investment decision is kept that close to the Index, it necessarily
limits how much it can add to overall returns relative to the Index.
Consequently, the Portfolio's performance was enhanced more significantly by
our decisions to have the Portfolio be overweighted in U.S. government agency
mortgages and investment-grade corporate bonds, which outperformed the Index,
while maintaining the Portfolio's opportunistic exposure to below-investment
grade instruments -- both U.S. high-yield bonds and U.S. dollar denominated
emerging markets debt. Neither of these categories of bonds is included in
the Index, but both significantly outperformed throughout the period.

YOUR SECTOR STRATEGY OF OVERWEIGHTING MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES ACHIEVED
FAVORABLE INVESTMENT RESULTS FOR THE THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW. WHAT FORECASTS
ARE YOU MAKING FOR THIS SECTOR, AND HOW IS IT LIKELY TO BE WEIGHTED IN THE
PORTFOLIO DURING THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?

WGT: We anticipate reducing our overweighting in mortgages opportunistically
when spreads narrow further, in the event interest rates fall below the 6.25%
level for 10-year Treasuries.

INVESTOR CASH FLOW AND STABLE-TO-IMPROVING FUNDAMENTALS HAVE BEEN KEY TO THE
RECENT RELATIVE STRENGTH OF EMERGING MARKETS DEBT AND U.S. HIGH-YIELD BONDS.
DO YOU EXPECT TO SEE THESE FACTORS SUPPORT THE SECTORS GOING FORWARD, AND IS
THE PORTFOLIO LIKELY TO CONTINUE ITS CURRENT OPPORTUNISTIC ALLOCATION TO THEM?

WGT: We do expect these factors to support the markets in the foreseeable
future and, as such, we expect to maintain the Portfolio's current allocation
to each sector. The initial reason is that market yields have fallen smartly
over the last couple of months resulting in investor demand for yield
product. Consequently, bond investors have satiated their appetite by
investing in the below investment grade sectors -- we feel this is
sustainable.

<PAGE>

In addition, despite historically tight spreads in the U.S. high-yield
market, we believe that this sector will perform relatively well as companies
continue to clean up their balance sheets thanks to strong earnings and
deleveraging. In the emerging markets camp, economic fundamentals and
improving political environments point to potential outperformance by this
sector.

ONE OF THE IRONIES THAT SEEMS TO BE GAINING GREATER CURRENCY THESE DAYS IS
THE SENTIMENT THAT "WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY IS BAD FOR BONDS AND STOCKS."
GIVEN THE CURRENT ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, WHAT IS YOUR VIEW OF THE LIKELIHOOD
OF ADDITIONAL FED ACTION BY THE END OF THIS YEAR?

WGT: First of all, we expect a bounce back in economic growth in the second
half of the year following the slow down in the second quarter. Couple this
with the tightness in the labor market and it leads us to believe the Fed
will eventually intervene in an attempt to drive economic growth toward trend
and keep inflation at bay. We expect the Fed may raise rates by another 50
basis points by year end.

WHAT MIGHT CAUSE YOU TO MOVE THE PORTFOLIO AWAY FROM ITS CURRENT NEUTRAL
DURATION POSITION?

WGT: Interestingly enough, that has become a very topical question. Since
the market began to rally at the end of June, we have shortened the
Portfolio's duration to about one-eighth of a year shorter than the
benchmark. Should the market continue to rally from here, we would look to
shorten duration even further -- possibly to as much as one-quarter of a year
shorter than the benchmark. On the other hand, if the market were to back up
and cause the long bond's yield to approach 6.8%, we would gravitate toward
neutral once again.

JPM EQUITY PORTFOLIO

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

We are pleased to report that, as the bulls in the U.S. market for large cap
stocks continued their unprecedented eight-year run, JPM Equity Portfolio
provided an impressive 17.26% return for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

This result outdistanced the 15.61%average return posted over the same period
by Portfolio competitors that are included in the Lipper Variable Annuity
Growth and Income Average. According to Lipper, the Portfolio's total return
since inception* enabled it to rank 86th in a competitive universe of 520
similar portfolios (17th percentile).

The Portfolio's results for the period did, however, trail the 20.61% return
of its benchmark, which is the S&P 500 Index. We believe the Portfolio's
relative underperformance is largely attributable to the fact that its
investment strategy was not rewarded by the market's focus throughout much of
the year.

The Portfolio's investment strategy is to diversify its holdings among large
cap stocks that have been identified as undervalued by Morgan research. The
market, meanwhile, centered its enthusiasm on a small number of very large
stocks with stable earnings growth that we viewed as overvalued. When these
"defensive growth" stocks moved the Index forward, their absence from the
Portfolio hurt relative short-term returns. We feel it is also important to
note that the Portfolio's benchmark is an unmanaged index whose performance
does not include fees or operating expenses and which is not available to
individual or institutional investors.

The Portfolio's net asset value per share increased from $13.68 on December
31, 1996 to $15.89 at the end of the six months under review, after making
distributions of $0.05 from long-term capital gains and $0.08 from short-term
capital gains. In addition, the Portfolio's net assets advanced from $5.3
million on December 31, 1996 to $7.6 million at the end of the period under
review.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER Q&A

[PHOTO]

Following is an interview with WILLIAM B. PETERSEN, a member of the portfolio
management team for JPM Equity Portfolio. Bill originally joined Morgan in
1972 as a research analyst and became a member of the firm's portfolio
management team in 1977. This interview was conducted July 23, 1997 and
reflects Bill's views on that date.

THE S&P 500 ROSE TO ALL-TIME HIGHS DURING THE SIX MONTHS UNDER REVIEW. GIVEN
THE MARKET'S RECOVERY FROM ITS LATE-WINTER SLOWDOWN, WOULD YOU SAY THE
FEDERAL RESERVE'S CAUTIOUS TIGHTENING HAS HELPED BRING ABOUT ANOTHER "SOFT
LANDING" FOR THE ECONOMY?

WBP: The evidence would certainly point that way for the short term. The
economy has settled down to what appears to be a relatively sustainable rate
of growth, and the market certainly agrees with it. Both the stock market and
the bond market have rallied quite a bit on this perception. We continue to
be concerned by the fact that the U.S. unemployment rate is under 5% while
labor costs are beginning to rise. Low unemployment means that higher labor
costs cannot be arrested unless the economy slows to a below-trend rate of
growth. At the current rate of growth, we still see cyclical pressures
growing in the economy, which makes us concerned the Federal Reserve may have
to tighten monetary policy by raising short-term interest rates.

A second, perhaps slightly overlooked, cause for concern is that the relative
weakness of global economies has underpinned the rosy U.S. inflation
scenario. If the economies of Europe and Japan begin to grow -- and there are
now signs they are doing just that -- inflationary pressures in this country
could become evident sooner than later. This could also mean an outflow of
assets from U.S. stocks to international markets.

THE MARKET HAS RECENTLY SHOWN SIGNS OF MOVING AWAY FROM BUYING ONLY THE
"NIFTY FIFTY" DEFENSIVE GROWTH STOCKS. IF THAT TREND CONTINUES, WHAT DO YOU
THINK IT MIGHT MEAN FOR THE PORTFOLIO'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

WBP: Market leadership tends to narrow when the profit cycle peaks and
begins to slow. Profits are still growing, but the rate of growth is slower
than it used to be. That's part of the reason why performance leadership had
narrowed to the market's largest-capitalized stocks -- the so-called "Nifty
Fifty." As confidence has increased that the economic cycle is likely to be
extended, lessening the need for the Federal Reserve to tighten monetary
policy, the market has been more willing to look beyond stocks with stable
earnings growth. That, in turn, has helped performance in the Portfolio's
value-driven stock selection. Should this environment persist, we expect that
it will enhance overall returns.

I think it's important to remember that while the Portfolio is primarily
focused on large cap stocks, it also has a somewhat smaller market
capitalization than the market as a whole. The management team pursues this
strategy because we believe that we can find value in some of the large cap
market's smaller names. These companies may be small relative to a Coca-Cola
or a Microsoft, but they still bring hefty capitalizations of at least $1
billion to the table (the average capitalization within the Index is $50
billion). The 50 largest S&P 500 stocks advanced 24.18% for the period under
review, roughly 56% of the Index's total

<PAGE>

return. We now regard the Index's 50 largest stocks as overvalued and believe
their relative outperformance is unsustainable. Should the present market
environment continue, we believe investors will increase their search for
value, which would be good news for us,rather than buy just the "big names"
to remain in the market.

ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF ACTIVELY MANAGED LARGE CAP FUNDS OUTPERFORMED THE
S&P 500 FOR THE PERIOD UNDER REVIEW. THAT BEING THE CASE, WHAT ADVANTAGES DO
YOU BELIEVE YOUR MANAGED APPROACH CAN POTENTIALLY DELIVER AS THE MARKET
CONTINUES TO EVOLVE?

WBP: Index funds have outperformed active management because the recent
market advance has been dominated by a small number of large stocks -- the
Coca-Colas and Microsofts of the world -- that we think most investors would
agree are fairly expensive. We believe index fund buyers should realize they
are putting a lot of their money into 10 or 15 stocks -- something they might
not do if they were investing individually. They should also remember that
index funds don't always go up -- recent history notwithstanding. When stock
prices decline, index fund investors can expect to bear the full brunt of
that market downturn. We understand that great companies are not always great
investments. That's why the portfolio management team is constantly searching
for value across market sectors, rather than focusing on a favored few. Our
objective, as always, is to achieve superior long-term returns as well as
dampen investment risk.

WHICH OF YOUR TEAM'S STOCK SELECTIONS WERE ESPECIALLY HELPFUL IN ADDING VALUE
FOR THE PERIOD?

WBP: Holding WARNER-LAMBERT CO., a pharmaceuticals company, has proved
extremely beneficial to overall returns. Rather than buy "disappointment," so
to speak, in this stock, we anticipated the flow of new drugs that the
company would eventually produce well before the market did. So, just as the
market often over-reacts to short-term negative disappointments, it's often
slow to react positively to developing good news. Through our frequent visits
with management, we garnered a lot of confidence that the old Warner-Lambert
had changed and that the company had a new product pipeline. The products,
frankly, have been more successful than we ever could have imagined. This is
particularly true of Rezulin, a diabetes drug that the company introduced in
January, as well as Lipitor, a cholesterol drug.

Holding QUANTUM CORP., a maker of computer disk drives, also served to
enhance overall returns. We initially became interested in the company
because of the strength of its DLT tape business, as well as the enormous
sales potential of its "Bigfoot" disk drive. The company's stock price took
off because Bigfoot was widely regarded as offering excellent
price/performance characteristics, although there was some degree of
uncertainty about the product because its format differs slightly from the
industry standard. We have now sold the stock from the Portfolio.

WHERE DID THE PORTFOLIO LAG?

WBP: Technology was far and away our most difficult sector for the six months
under review. Most of the Portfolio's relative underperformance in technology
has come from not owning Microsoft, which has always looked very expensive to
us, and from overweighting Sensormatic Electronics Corp., which significantly
underperformed its sector following a quarterly profit announcement that fell
below earlier expectations. Tech-

<PAGE>

nology stocks in the Index rose 23% for the six months under review, while
the market as a whole was up more than 20%. The sector was very good, but
surprisingly few technology stocks outperformed and many lost money during
the period.

A KEY SUPPORT FOR THE EXTENDED BULL MARKET HAS BEEN THE NEAR-UNINTERRUPTED
INFLOW OF NEW ASSETS INTO STOCK MUTUAL FUNDS. WILL THE INCREASED
PARTICIPATION IN U.S. STOCKS BY OVERSEAS INVESTORS ADDITIONALLY BOOST PRICES?

WBP: There's no question that the basic liquidity backdrop of fund flows --
whether it be domestic mutual funds, 401(k) investors, or international
investors -- is helping to support this market. Nevertheless, fund flows
can't do it alone, and we'd expect the market to go down if economic
fundamentals deteriorate.

HOW HIGH DO WE CURRENTLY EXPECT THIS SEEMINGLY UNSTOPPABLE MARKET TO GO?

WBP: We believe we're at extreme levels now -- even for a low inflationary
environment -- in terms of price-to-earnings ratios and dividend yields. That
doesn't mean the market has to go down. Valuation is not a market timing
tool. But we are at an extreme, and it's difficult to see valuations going
much higher. At best, we see the market giving you an earnings growth in the
5% to 6% range going forward, although other market factors may reduce this
somewhat. That's a very good return -- even if it does follow the spectacular
double-digit returns posted in 1995 and 1996, and the more than 20% market
advance seen so far this year -- and it's just one of the reasons why Morgan
recommends maintaining portfolio exposure to this key market.

WHAT DO YOU THINK COULD CAUSE AN EVENTUAL CORRECTION?

WBP: The market is clearly vulnerable to "surprises" that cannot be
forecast. On a fundamental basis, however, we do think cyclical pressures are
building in the U.S. economy. If these continue or become exacerbated by
higher economic growth rates overseas and/or higher inflation at home, the
Federal Reserve will undoubtedly raise interest rates. And if the market
begins to sense there's an economic downturn coming, something that hasn't
happened for a very long time, it will almost certainly work as a catalyst
for correction.

JPM SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

The six months ended June 30, 1997 were a textbook example of U.S. small cap
volatility. Concerns about Federal Reserve tightening, which was a drain on
the market in late 1996, proved essentially groundless after the New Year,
allowing small cap stocks to more than recoup their previous losses. Small
caps were again sent tumbling when Fed Chairman Greenspan hinted the market
was substantially overvalued. Negative corporate earnings surprises then held
sway in a momentum-driven market until March tightening by the Fed spawned
the general perception that a "soft landing" had taken place in the U.S.
economy. Given this backdrop, small cap stocks rebounded, outperforming large
caps for the first time in 1997 and ending the first half of the year at an
all-time high.

The Portfolio's investment strategy seeks to add long-term value for
shareholders by using Morgan's proprietary research to identify undervalued
small cap stocks. Given the extremes of volatility that have been outlined
above, we are pleased to report that the Portfolio's actively managed,
disciplined investment strategy for small cap stocks enabled it to provide an
attractive nominal return of 7.49% for the six-month period under review.
This performance let the Portfolio rank 30th (or in the 17th percentile of
520 similar portfolios included in the Lipper Variable Annuity Small Cap
Funds Average in terms of total returns since inception. *

The small cap market remained focused on short-term corporate earnings rather
than long-term fundamentals throughout much of the period under review. In
our view, this was a contributing factor to the Portfolio's relative
underperformance of its benchmark, which is the Russell 2000 Index, during
the first half of 1997. The benchmark returned 10.20% for the period.

The Portfolio's net asset value per share advanced from $12.53 at December
31, 1996 to $12.75 at June 30, 1997 after making distributions of $0.28 from
long-term capital gains, and $0.34 from short-term capital gains. The
Portfolio's net assets grew from $3.9 million at December 31, 1996 to $5.0
million at the end of the period under review.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER Q&A

[PHOTO]

Following is an interview with STEPHEN J. RICH, a member of the portfolio
management team for JPM Small Company Portfolio. Stephen joined J.P. Morgan
Investment Management in 1991. Prior to assuming his current
responsibilities, he held positions in Morgan's structured equity and
balanced/equity groups. Stephen was educated at Princeton University and is
currently pursuing a Masters degree in Business Administration at New York
University. This interview was conducted July 24, 1997 and reflects Stephen's
views on that date.

SMALL COMPANY STOCKS, AS MEASURED BY THE RUSSELL 2000 INDEX, RETURNED 16.21%
FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 1997 -- THEIR LARGEST QUARTERLY GAIN SINCE MARCH OF
1991. WHAT FACTORS DO YOU BELIEVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS UPSURGE?

SJR: A near-perfect environment -- a "Nirvana Channel," if you will -- of
benign inflation and strong economic growth drove U.S. stocks throughout the
second quarter, catapulting the Russell 2000 Index to new highs. While still
trailing the S&P 500, this second quarter rebound from negative territory
enabled the Russell 2000 to post a respectable 10.20% return since the
beginning of the year.

DID EITHER GROWTH OR VALUE STOCKS EMERGE AS THE DOMINANT PLAYERS?

SJR: Value stocks in the Index were the clear winners during the first
quarter, rising a modest 0.25% for the period while growth stocks declined
- -10.45%. Concerns about inflation, which were prevalent at the time, seemed
to drive investors toward value stocks because they generally offer lower
price volatility in the small cap area. Value stocks continued to attract a
higher level of investor interest at the beginning of the second quarter,
while growth stocks spurred the market later on. We believe the small cap
market's year-to-date flip-flop between growth and value stocks favored the
Portfolio's "core" approach, which seeks to invest equally in the two sectors
as a way of capturing a true small cap return, rather than one that is
contingent upon whether growth sectors are doing well or whether value
sectors are doing well.

While portfolios that come down strongly on either side of this investment
equation can "blow out the lights" in any given month, they can also post
strong negative returns if their preference for growth or value stocks falls
out of favor. In our view, market shifts between growth and value happen very
quickly and cannot be predicted with any degree of accuracy. Consequently, we
believe that steering the Portfolio on a neutral course between growth and
value stocks is the best way to achieve a small cap exposure that has the
potential to limit dramatic shifts in overall value by being firmly grounded
in market realities.

STOCKS IN THE RUSSELL 2000 RECOVERED FROM THEIR JULY 1996 SELLOFF TO REACH
ALL-TIME HIGHS IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. A SUBSEQUENT DOWNTURN, HOWEVER, LED
TO THE FIRST NEGATIVE QUARTERLY RETURN FOR THE INDEX SINCE DECEMBER 1994. HOW
LARGE A ROLE DO YOU THINK MARKET CONCERNS ABOUT TIGHTENING BY THE FEDERAL
RESERVE PLAYED IN THESE EVENTS?

SJR: Uncertainty on this issue was the main driver of market volatility.
Generally speaking, any indication the Fed may be serious about tightening
money supply will trigger a "flight to safety," during which

<PAGE>

investors usually favor larger, more stable stocks. Flights to safety can
affect stocks of any size but, over the years, small caps have proved
especially susceptible.

SHARP BOUNCE BACKS IN APRIL AND MAY SUGGEST TO MANY THAT SMALL CAP STOCKS HAVE
NOW TURNED AN IMPORTANT CORNER. IF SO, WHAT FACTORS DO YOU SEE AS KEY TO
SUSTAINED FORWARD MOMENTUM?

SJR: As April and May came to an end, the fact that the Fed didn't tighten
the money supply seems to have reassured many equity investors regarding the
health of the U.S. economy. We believe the general view now is that the
market will operate in an environment of low inflation and sustainable
economic growth, both of which should prove extremely beneficial to U.S.
equities, regardless of size.

What needs to be kept in mind, however, is the fact that small cap stocks
underperformed large caps for the six months under review. Now that the
economic environment seems to promise smooth sailing for a while, we expect
investors to favor the smaller stocks of the U.S. market because they are
substantially undervalued relative to large cap issues.

WHICH STOCK SELECTIONS WERE KEY TO PORTFOLIO RETURNS?

SJR: One stock that has been phenomenal for the Portfolio is Dekalb
Genetics, a producer of agricultural seeds in the basic industry sector,
which advanced more than 56% for the period. Our analyst, Jim Brown, brought
this stock to our attention. Dekalb's seed has demonstrably better yields and
should gain very meaningful market share for years to come.

We're also very proud of the results that were obtained from our drug stock
selections during the past six-month period. Among these, the platform
bio-tech companies Incyte Pharmaceuticals and Tripos, Inc. were especially
successful (advancing 30% and 33%, respectively). Rather than trying to find
our way among the "one-drug wonders" typically found in this sector,
"platform bio-tech" is now one of the Portfolio's major investment themes.
These companies provide their bio-tech skills as outsourcing to major drug
concerns, and we believe they represent a key trend in an ever-changing
industry.

WHERE DID THE PORTFOLIO LAG?

SJR: In media, our position in Paging Network limited overall returns.
Paging Network continues to struggle with overcapacity in core paging as well
as difficulties surrounding the company's VoiceNow product rollout.

JPM International

Equity Portfolio

Portfolio review

We are pleased to report that as international equities continued to provide
exceptional opportunities for global investors, JPM International Equity
Portfolio provided an impressive 10.38% return for the six months ended June
30, 1997. Although the Portfolio's results were strong for the period, it
trailed the 11.21% return of its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index. The
Portfolio's relative underperformance is largely attributable to its low
weighting in Japan, as Japanese stocks reversed their poor performance of the
last year and ended June with a very strong rally.

The Japanese yen -- which had been very weak against the U.S. dollar over the
previous two years -- recovered sharply in May. By the end of the reporting
period, Japan had outperformed many other markets (in dollar terms) in which
the Portfolio was more heavily invested.

The Portfolio's net asset value per share increased from $11.73 on December
31, 1996 to $12.73 at the end of the six months under review, after making
distributions of $0.09 from income, $0.05 from long-term capital gains and
$0.06 from short-term capital gains. In addition, the Portfolio's net assets
advanced from $6.2 million on December 31, 1996 to $7.1 million on June 30,
1997.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER Q&A

Following is an interview with PAUL A. QUINSEE, a member of the portfolio
management team for JPM International Equity Portfolio. Paul joined Morgan in
1992 as an international equity portfolio manager. Previously, he worked for
five years as an equity portfolio manager with Citibank and for two years
with Schroder Capital Management in London. This interview was conducted on
July 31, 1997 and reflects Paul's views on that date.

MOST INTERNATIONAL EQUITY MARKETS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD CONTINUED A POSITIVE
TREND DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30, 1997. EVEN JAPAN REVERSED
ITS POOR PERFORMANCE, ENDING THE PERIOD ON A RALLY. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT IS
BEHIND THIS OVERALL STRENGTH?

PAQ: There's been a strong market for equity returns in most of the world;
the European markets in particular have been strong for awhile, which
continued throughout the six-month period.

The European markets were helped by low and, actually, declining interest
rates. The region also benefited from a favorable currency environment and
growing signs of economic recovery in the continental countries, which
produced a string of upgrades to earnings forecasts. At the same time, there
was generally favorable news regarding corporate restructurings from large
European companies. For example, in Germany, KRUPP-HOESCH made a bid for
Thyssen. While forced to drop its bid, there is a belief that some
restructuring is likely to occur. We also saw very aggressive restructuring
plans announced by PHILIPS ELECTRONICS NV, a technology company in the
Netherlands, which announced a joint venture with Lucent, the U.S.
communications equipment company.

So, the European markets continued to perform well during the six-month
period. In fact, many of theEuropean markets have been outperforming the U.S.
markets in the last year. The change during this period, however, was that
the Japanese market joined in. The Japanese stock market had been
considerably underperforming other markets since last year, which continued
through January and February of 1997. In March, however, the Japanese market
began to rally, and during this period the returns from investing in Japan
actually matched those in Europe.

WHAT WAS BEHIND THIS TURNAROUND IN JAPAN?

PAQ: The Japanese market benefited from diminishing concerns over its
financial companies, helped in part, by an acceleration in the pace of
deregulation in that sector. Japan also benefited from increasing signs that
the economy was continuing to recover, despite tax increases the government
put in place at the beginning of April. Corporate profits released during the
period also matched expectations. In general, there were no real
disappointments.

Furthermore, the Japanese yen -- which had been very weak against the U.S.
dollar over the previous two years -- recovered sharply in May. The recovery
of the yen was due to investors noticing that Japan's current account surplus
had begun to rise again and the expectation that Japan's economic recovery
would bring an end to its current environment of abnormally low interest
rates.

<PAGE>

In addition, comments from the Japanese authorities that the yen was too low
sparked a dramatic recovery. Over the period, the yen strengthened against
the U.S. dollar and, in dollar terms, Japan outperformed many other markets.

IN CONTRAST TO THE POSITIVE PERFORMANCE IN JAPAN, OTHER MARKETS IN ASIA DID
NOT PERFORM SO WELL -- SPECIFICALLY MALAYSIA AND THAILAND. WHY?

PAQ: With the exception of Japan, most Asian markets lost ground overall.
Specifically, the Malaysian market, which was affected by great concern
throughout the region about possible implications of over-development in its
real estate market. The Malaysian real estate market has been very strong for
a number of years, which in turn encouraged a tremendous amount of new
construction. Analysts, therefore, began to worry about what this could mean
for occupancy levels and rental values in the future.

The catalyst for much of this worry was problems in Thailand's real estate
market. Thailand had enjoyed a similar real estate boom, which began to
unwind, creating a very negative impact on the Thai stock market.
Consequently, investors have been looking at the Asian markets as a whole and
anticipating where new problems might surface. Malaysian stocks were weak and
Thai stocks collapsed.

Looking on the brighter side, however, Hong Kong performed reasonably well in
the run-up to its handover to Chinese rule. In addition, markets in Latin
America were extremely strong during this period, particularly Brazil.
Economic news from Latin America remained excellent, and long-term interest
rates on foreign debt continued to fall. Therefore, most emerging market
stocks did well during the period.

ON THE POLITICAL FRONT, THERE WERE SOME CONSIDERABLE CHANGES IN EUROPE THAT
CAUSED SOME VOLATILITY IN THOSE MARKETS. CAN YOU COMMENT ON SPECIFIC EVENTS?

PAQ: In both the U.K. and France, although for unconnected reasons, we saw
the ruling conservative right-wing parties lose in elections. In the U.K.,
this came as no surprise. The British conservative party had been in power
since 1979, and the switch of the government to the Labour Party was widely
expected, particularly in light of the party's move to the "center." While
there was uncertainty surrounding any election, the U.K.'s volatility was
really only temporary. In fact, one of the first actions of the U.K.'s new
Labour Party was to grant independence to the Bank of England, which was well
received by the financial markets. Long-term interest rates in the U.K. fell,
even though short-term rates were raised to head off the continuing strength
of the economy.

The election result in France was much more surprising. It appears that
voters were fed up with austerity policies of the right-wing parties and
voted for a socialist administration instead. Initially, markets reacted
badly to the news. However, French stocks recovered all of their losses, as
it became apparent that the Socialist election rhetoric was unlikely to be
followed immediately with policy initiatives, and that the French economy was
still recovering.

WHILE THE PORTFOLIO PRODUCED STRONG RETURNS FOR THE SIX MONTHS UNDER REVIEW,
IT STILL SLIGHTLY UNDERPERFORMED ITS BENCHMARK (THE MSCI EAFE INDEX) FOR THE
PERIOD. WHAT SPECIFICALLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE PORTFOLIO'S STRONG PERFORMANCE,
AND WHAT KEPT IT FROM BEATING ITS BENCHMARK?

PAQ: The Portfolio underperformed its benchmark for the period because it
maintained a lower weighting

<PAGE>

in Japan relative to the benchmark. As we mentioned earlier, Japan's
performance in the second quarter of 1997 was very strong. Japan's economy
continued to recover, corporate profits were in line with expectations, and
diminishing investor fears regarding the financial sector all contributed to
a quick turnaround of Japanese equities. Since the Portfolio was less exposed
to Japan, it benefited less from this rally.

However, the Portfolio did produce very favorable results, helped by the
overall strength of the markets, as well as by individual stock-selection
decisions. Specifically, the Portfolio fared very well by large gains from
German auto and insurance stocks. VOLKSWAGEN was one of those holdings, and
Munich Reinsurance (MUENCHENER RUECKVERSICHERUNGS-GESELLSCHAFT) was another.
These stocks benefited from aggressive restructurings and improved earnings.
The Portfolio's holding in the Swiss firm NOVARTIS AG contributed to its
performance, as well. The Portfolio also benefited from the strong
performance of PHILIPS ELECTRONICS NV (a technology company in the
Netherlands), as it appreciated on the announcement of a joint venture with
Lucent, the U.S. communications equipment company.

So all in all, our stock-selection decisions, driven by thorough fundamental
research analysis, helped the performance of the Portfolio for the six-month
period under review.

MOVING TOWARD THE SECOND HALF OF 1997, HOW ARE YOU POSITIONING THE PORTFOLIO?
WHICH MARKETS DO YOU BELIEVE WILL ADD MOST VALUE?

PAQ: It's not easy to find undervalued situations right now, with such
strong performance coming from most markets over the past two to three years.
The two markets we have been focusing on recently, however, are Australia and
New Zealand. In the past year, companies in these markets have provided
relatively disappointing results. We now feel that period is over and that
stocks in those markets represent relatively good value. We think these are
some of the best values that are offered around the world.

We also expect to increase the Portfolio's positions in the U.K., which is
another market that has lagged. The U.K. market has been held back by the
increasing overvaluation of Sterling, which has hurt profits. In addition, we
feel there are a number of companies in the U.K. which are undervalued. Thus,
the U.K. is an area where we expect to increase the Portfolio's allocation.

It's more difficult to choose between the major continental markets and Japan
at this point, with the relative performance of the European markets being so
strong. The valuation gap between the two has narrowed, but we continued to
emphasize Germany in the Portfolio. We think companies there will benefit
from the restructuring and cost cutting that now seems to be the trend in
Germany's corporate sector. We have reduced the Portfolio's exposure to
France and expect to maintain that reduced position going forward. The
French market has already done quite well, and we believe it is no longer
undervalued.

Regarding Japan, we feel investors are generally overemphasizing Japan's
economic difficulties. We believe the Japanese economy will continue to
recover at a healthy rate this year, helped by its low interest-rate
environment. We are not likely to add significant positions in Japan; while
the valuation gap has narrowed, we still feel Japan is no bargain --
especially given that many European companies have been enthusiastically
restructuring.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

JPM Series Trust II (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended, as an open-end diversified management investment company.
The Trust was organized as a Delaware Business Trust on October 28, 1993 for the
purpose of funding flexible premium variable life insurance policies. The Trust
is composed of five separate portfolios (each, a "Portfolio" and collectively,
the "Portfolios") which operate as distinct investment vehicles. The names and
investment objectives of the Portfolios are as follows: JPM Treasury Money
Market Portfolio seeks to provide current income, maintain a high level of
liquidity and preserve capital. JPM Bond Portfolio seeks to provide a high total
return consistent with moderate risk of capital and maintenance of liquidity.
JPM Equity Portfolio seeks to provide a high total return from a portfolio
comprised of selected equity securities. JPM Small Company Portfolio seeks to
provide a high total return from a portfolio of equity securities of small
companies. JPM International Equity Portfolio seeks to provide a high total
return from a portfolio of equity securities of foreign corporations. Prior to
January 1, 1997, the Trust and the Portfolios' names were Chubb Series Trust,
Resolute Treasury Money Market Portfolio, Resolute Bond Portfolio, Resolute
Equity Portfolio, Resolute Small Company Portfolio and Resolute International
Equity Portfolio, respectively.

Investments in international markets may involve certain considerations and
risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. Future
economic and political developments in foreign countries could adversely effect
the liquidity or value, or both, of such securities in which the Portfolios are
invested. The ability of issuers of the debt securities held by the Portfolios
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 Portfolios:

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 each 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 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 at amortized cost.

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

59
<PAGE>
JPM SERIES TRUST II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the
Portfolio's net asset value is calculated, such securities will be valued
at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the
general supervision of the Trustees.

b) The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars.
The market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities,
and foreign currency contracts used by certain Portfolios are translated
at the prevailing exchange rates at the end of the period. Purchases,
sales, income and expenses 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 Portfolios are presented at the exchange
rates and market values prevailing at the end of the period, the
Portfolios do 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 become 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 first-in first-out
method.

d) Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized
capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. All
dividends and distributions will be automatically reinvested in
additional shares of the Portfolio with respect to which dividends have
been declared, at net asset value, as of the ex-dividend date of such
dividends.

e) Certain Portfolios 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 based on procedures
established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees, and the
change in the market value is recorded by the Portfolios as unrealized
appreciation or

f) Each Portfolio incurred organizational expenses in the amount of $9,834.
These expenses 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.

g) Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax
purposes. Each Portfolio intends to comply with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its
income, including net realized capital gains, if any, within the
prescribed time periods. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or
excise tax is necessary. Each Portfolio is also a segregated portfolio of
assets for insurance purposes and intends to comply with the
diversification requirements of Subchapter L of the Code.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

a) The Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios, has an Investment Advisory
Agreement with J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("Morgan"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated. Under the
Investment Advisory Agreement, Morgan is responsible for the overall
management and supervision of each Portfolio. Morgan makes each
Portfolio's day-to-day investment decisions, arranges for the execution
of portfolio transactions and generally manages each Portfolio's

61
<PAGE>
JPM SERIES TRUST II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
JUNE 30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

investments. Morgan is paid a fee for its services, computed daily and
paid monthly, at an annual rate of: 0.20% of the average daily net
assets of JPM Treasury Money Market Portfolio; 0.30% of the average daily
net assets of JPM Bond Portfolio; 0.40% of the average daily net assets
of JPM Equity Portfolio; 0.60% of the average daily net assets of JPM
Small Company Portfolio and 0.60% of the average daily net assets of JPM
International Equity Portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 1997,
Morgan's fees for these services amounted to $1,458, $7,349, $13,614,
$13,152, and $19,706, respectively.

b) The Trust, on behalf of each Portfolio, has retained Funds Distributor,
Inc. ("FDI"), a registered broker-dealer, to serve as co-administrator
and distributor for each Portfolio. Under a Co-Administration Agreement
between FDI and the Trust, on behalf of each Portfolio, FDI provides
administrative services necessary for the operations of each Portfolio,
furnishes office space and facilities required for conducting the
business of each Portfolio and pays the compensation of the Portfolios'
officers affiliated with FDI. Under the Co-Administration Agreement, each
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 each Portfolio is based on the ratio of its net
assets to the aggregate net assets of the Trust and certain other
investment companies subject to similar agreements with FDI. For the six
months ended June 30, 1997, the fee for these services amounted to: $15
for JPM Treasury Money Market Portfolio, $48 for JPM Bond Portfolio, $66
for JPM Equity Portfolio, $43 for JPM Small Company Portfolio and $64 for
JPM International Equity Portfolio.

Morgan Guaranty is responsible for the payment of FDI's fees under the
Co-Administration Agreement. See Note 2 c.

c) The Trust, on behalf of each Portfolio, has an Administrative Services
Agreement (the "Services Agreement") with Morgan Guaranty under which
Morgan Guaranty may receive a fee, based on the percentages described
below, for overseeing certain aspects of the administration and operation
of the Portfolios. The Services Agreement is also designed to provide an
expense limit for certain expenses of the Portfolios. If total expenses
of the Portfolios, excluding the advisory fees, exceed the expense limits
of: 0.60% of the average daily net assets of JPM Treasury Money Market
Portfolio, 0.75% of the average daily net assets of JPM Bond Portfolio,
0.90% of the average daily net assets of JPM Equity Portfolio, 1.15% of
the average daily net assets of JPM Small Company Portfolio and 1.20% of
the average daily net assets of JPM International Equity Portfolio,
Morgan Guaranty will reimburse the Portfolios for the excess expense
amount and receive no fee. Should such expenses be less than the expense
limits, Morgan Guaranty's fee would be limited to the difference between
such expenses and the fees calculated under the Services Agreement. For
the six months ended June 30, 1997, Morgan Guaranty has agreed to
reimburse the Portfolios for expenses under this agreement as follows:
$22,048, $28,523, $42,866, $49,049 and $71,105, respectively.

d) An aggregate annual fee of $20,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
a Trustee of the Trust. The Trustees' Fees and Expenses shown in the
financial statements represent the Portfolios' allocated portion of the
total fees and expenses.
