THE NEW YORK TAX EXEMPT BOND PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30,1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The New York Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio (the "portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, non-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 April 11, 1994. Prior to November 2, 1998, the portfolio's name
was The New York Total Return Bond Portfolio. The portfolio's investment
objective is to provide high level of current income that is exempt from federal
income tax for New York residents, consistent with moderate risk of capital. The
portfolio invests a significant amount of its assets in debt obligations issued
by political subdivisions and authorities in the State of New York. The issuers'
ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political
developments within the State of New York. 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) 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. 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 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.
 
   b) The portfolio incurred organization expenses in the amount of $11,473.
      These costs 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.
 
   c) 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.
 
   d) 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.
 
                                                                              31

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
   a) Prior to October 28, 1998, the portfolio had an Investment Advisory
      Agreement with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"). Under
      the terms of the Agreement, the portfolio paid Morgan at an annual rate of
      0.30% of the portfolio's average daily net assets. Effective October 28,
      1998 the portfolio's Investment Advisor will be J.P. Morgan Investment
      Management Inc. ("JPMIM"), an affiliate of Morgan and a wholly owned
      subsidiary of J.P. Morgan & Co. Inc. ("J.P. Morgan"), and the terms of the
      Agreement will remain the same. For the six months ended September 30,
      1998, such fees amounted to $351,242.
 
   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 six months ended September 30, 1998, the fee
      for these services amounted to $1,519.
 
   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 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 JPMIM provides similar services, and J.P.
      Morgan Series Trust. For the six months ended September 30, 1998, the fee
      for these services amounted to $33,560. In addition, J.P. Morgan has
      agreed to reimburse the portfolio to the extent necessary to maintain the
      total operating expenses of the portfolio at no more than 0.50% of the
      average net assets of the portfolio. This reimbursement arrangement can be
      changed or terminated at any time at the option of J.P. Morgan.
 
   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 $3,379 for the six months ended September 30, 1998.
 
   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
