International Equity Portfolio
________________________________________________________________________________
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

International  Equity  Portfolio  (the  "Portfolio"),  a separate  series of The
Premium Portfolios (the "Portfolio  Trust"),  is registered under the Investment
Company  Act  of  1940,  as  amended,  as  a  diversified,  open-end  management
investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of
New York.  The  Declaration  of Trust  permits the Trustees to issue  beneficial
interests in the Portfolio.  The Investment Adviser of the Portfolio is Citibank
N.A.  ("Citibank").  Signature Financial Group (Grand Cayman), Ltd. ("SFG") acts
as the Fund's  Administrator.  On May 1, 1994  (commencement  of operations) the
Landmark  International  Equity Fund  transferred  all of its investable  assets
($32,298,219  including $3,199,032 unrealized  appreciation) to the Portfolio in
exchange for an interest in the Portfolio.

The  following  significant  accounting  policies  consistently  followed by the
Portfolio are in conformity with generally  accepted  accounting  principles and
are as follows:

A.  INVESTMENT  SECURITY  VALUATIONS  -- Equity  securities in the portfolio are
valued  at the last  sale  price on the  exchange  on which  they are  primarily
traded,  or on the quoted bid price for  securities in which there were no sales
during the day, or for unlisted  securities  not reported on the NASDAQ  system.
Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price
available  before  the time when net assets are  valued.  Bonds and other  fixed
income securities (other than short-term  obligations  maturing in sixty days or
less) in the  portfolio  are valued on the basis of  valuations  furnished  by a
pricing service,  the use of which has been approved by the Trustees.  In making
such valuations,  the pricing service utilizes both  dealer-supplied  valuations
and electronic data processing  techniques  which take into account  appropriate
factors  such as  institutional-size  trading in similar  groups of  securities,
yield, quality,  coupon rate, maturity,  type of issue, trading  characteristics
and  other  market  data,  without  exclusive  reliance  upon  quoted  prices or
exchanges or  over-the-counter  prices,  since such  valuations  are believed to
reflect  more  accurately  the  fair  value  of  such   securities.   Short-term
obligations  maturing in sixty days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which
constitutes fair value as determined by the Trustees.  Portfolio  securities for
which there are no such  quotations  or  valuations  are valued at fair value as
determined  in good faith by or at the  direction  of the  Trustees.  Trading in
securities on most foreign  exchanges and  over-the-counter  markets is normally
completed  before  the close of the New York  Stock  Exchange  and may also take
place on days which the New York Stock Exchange 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
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. FOREIGN CURRENCY  TRANSLATION -- The accounting  records of the Portfolio are
maintained in U.S.  dollars.  Foreign  currency amounts are translated into U.S.
dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine  the value of  investments,
assets  and  liabilities.  Purchases  and sales of  securities,  and  income and
expenses are  translated at the  prevailing  rate of exchange on the  respective
dates of such  transactions.  The Fund  does not  isolate  that  portion  of the
results of  operations  resulting  from  changes in  foreign  exchange  rates on
investments  from the  fluctuations  arising  from  changes in market  prices of
securities  held.  Such  fluctuations  are  included  with the net  realized and
unrealized gain or loss from investments.

C. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY  EXCHANGE  CONTRACTS -- The Portfolio may enter into
forward foreign  currency  exchange  contracts  ("contracts") in connection with
planned  purchases  or sales of  securities,  to hedge the U.S.  dollar value of
portfolio securities  denominated in a particular currency.  The Portfolio could
be exposed to risks if the  counter-parties  to the contracts are unable to meet
the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated  movements in the value of a
foreign  currency  relative to the U.S.  Dollar.  The forward  foreign  currency
exchange  contracts are adjusted by the daily  exchange  rate of the  underlying
currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial  statement  purposes
as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

D.  ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS -- Securities  transactions  are accounted for on
the  trade  date.  Realized  gains  and  losses  on  security  transactions  are
determined  on  the   identified   cost  method.   Dividend   income  and  other
distributions  from portfolio  securities are recorded on the ex-dividend  date,
except,  if the  ex-dividend  date has passed,  certain  dividends  from foreign
securities  are recorded as the Portfolio is informed of the  ex-dividend  date.
Dividend income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such
taxes is not assured. Interest income is accrued daily.

- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E. U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Portfolio's  policy considered a partnership
under the U.S.  Internal  Revenue  Code.  Accordingly,  no provision for federal
income taxes is necessary.

F.  EXPENSES  -- The  Portfolio  bears all costs of its  operations  other  than
expenses  specifically  assumed by Citibank  and SFG.  Expenses  incurred by the
Portfolio  Trust  with  respect  to any two or more  portfolios  or  series  are
allocated in proportion to the average net assets of each portfolio, except when
allocations  of direct  expenses to each portfolio can otherwise be made fairly.
Expenses directly attributable to a portfolio are charged to that portfolio.

(2) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES

The  investment  advisory  fee paid to  Citibank,  as  compensation  for overall
investment management services,  amounted to $218,950 for the period May 1, 1994
(commencement  of operations) to December 31, 1994. The investment  advisory fee
is  computed at the annual rate of 1.00% of the  Portfolio's  average  daily net
assets.

(3) ADMINISTRATIVE FEE

Under the terms of an  Administrative  Services  Agreement,  the  administrative
services  fees  paid  to  the   Administrator,   as  compensation   for  overall
administrative  services including general office facilities,  is computed at an
annual rate of 0.05% of the Portfolio's  average daily net assets. The Portfolio
accrued fees  aggregating  $10,948 for these  services for the Portfolio for the
period May 1, 1994  (commencement  of  operations)  to December  31,  1994.  The
Portfolio  pays no  compensation  directly  to any Trustee or any officer who is
affiliated with the  Administrator,  all of whom receive  remuneration for their
services to the Portfolio  from the  Administrator  or its  affiliates.  Certain
officers  and a Trustee of the  Portfolio  are  officers  and  directors  of the
Administrator or its affiliates.

(4) PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS

During the period May 1, 1994 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1994,
purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments,
aggregated $9,659,287 and $8,308,335, respectively.

(5) FEDERAL INCOME TAX BASIS OF INVESTMENTS

The cost and unrealized  appreciation/(depreciation)  in value of the investment
securities  owned at December  31,  1994,  as  computed on a federal  income tax
basis, are as follows:

Aggregate cost .........................................           $ 29,911,789
                                                                   ============
Gross unrealized appreciation ..........................           $  3,875,068
Gross unrealized depreciation ..........................             (1,946,321)
                                                                   ------------
Net unrealized appreciation ............................           $  1,928,747
                                                                   ============

(6) EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT FEE

SFG has entered into an expense reimbursement agreement with the Portfolio.  SFG
has agreed to pay all of the ordinary  operating expenses  (excluding  interest,
taxes, brokerage  commissions,  litigation costs or other extraordinary costs or
expenses) of the Portfolio,  other than fees paid under the Advisory  Agreement,
and Administrative  Services  Agreement.  The Agreement shall terminate on April
30, 2004,  unless  sooner  terminated by either party upon not less than 30 days
nor more than 60 days written notice to the other party.

The  Portfolio  Trust has agreed to pay SFG an  expense  reimbursement  fee,  in
addition to the administrative  fees, accrued daily and paid monthly;  provided,
however,  that such fee shall not exceed the amount such that immediately  after
any such  payment the  aggregate  expenses of the  Portfolio  would on an annual
basis exceed an agreed upon rate, currently 1.20% of average daily net assets.

(7) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Portfolio may trade financial  instruments with off-balance  sheet risk
in the  normal  course of its  investing  activities  and to assist in  managing
exposure to market risks such as interest  rates and foreign  currency  exchange
rates.  These financial  instruments  include forward foreign currency  exchange
contracts.

     The notional or  contractual  amounts of these  instruments  represent  the
investment the Portfolio has in particular classes of financial  instruments and
does not  necessarily  represent the amounts  potentially  subject to risk.  The
measurement of the risks  associated  with these  instruments is meaningful only
when related and offsetting  transactions  are considered.  No such  instruments
were held at December 31, 1994.

(8)  LINE OF  CREDIT
     As of May 1,  1994 the  Portfolio,  along  with the other  Landmark  Funds,
entered  into  an  agreement  with  a  bank  which  allows  the  Landmark  Funds
collectively  to borrow up to $40 million for  temporary or emergency  purposes.
Interest on the  borrowings,  if any, is charged to the specific fund  executing
the  borrowing  at the base  rate of the  bank.  In  addition,  the $15  million
committed  portion  of the line of credit  requires  a  quarterly  payment  of a
commitment  fee based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit.
For the period May 1, 1994  (commencement  of  operations) to December 31, 1994,
the commitment fee allocated to the Portfolio was $141. Since the line of credit
was established, there have been no borrowings.

"Portfolio"),  a series of The Premium  Portfolios,  as at December 31, 1994 and
the  related  statements  of  operations  and of  changes  in net assets and the
financial  highlights for the period May 1, 1994 (commencement of operations) to
December  31,  1994.  These  financial   statements  and  financial   highlights
(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 audit.

     We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S.  generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards  require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance  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.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit,  which included  confirmation of investments owned at
December  31,  1994 by  correspondence  with the  custodian  and brokers and the
application of alternative  auditing  procedures where confirmation from brokers
were not received, provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  these financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects,  the financial  position of the Portfolio as at December 31, 1994, the
results of its  operations  and the changes in its net assets and the  financial
highlights for the period May 1, 1994  (commencement  of operations) to December
31, 1994 in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
