THE NON-U.S. FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Non-U.S. Fixed Income 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. The Portfolio commenced operations on October 11,
1994. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number
of beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the
Portfolio:

    a) Portfolio securities with a maturity of 60 days or more, including
      securities that are listed on an exchange or traded over the counter, are
      valued using prices supplied daily by an independent pricing service or
      services that (i) are based on the last sale price on a national
      securities exchange, or in the absence of recorded sales, at the readily
      available bid price on such exchange or at the quoted bid price in the
      over-the-counter market, if such exchange or market constitutes the
      broadest and most representative market for the security and (ii) in other
      cases, take into account various factors affecting market value, including
      yields and prices of comparable securities, indication as to value from
      dealers and general market conditions. If such prices are not supplied by
      the Portfolio's independent pricing services, such securities are priced
      in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees. All 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.

    b) The books and records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars.
      The market values of investment securities, other assets and liabilities
      and forward contracts stated in foreign currencies are translated at the
      prevailing exchange rates at the end of the period. Purchases, sales,
      income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the
      respective dates of such transactions. Translation gains and losses
      resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period
      and gains and losses realized upon settlement of foreign currency
      transactions are reported in the Statement of Operations. Since 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. 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

                                                                              23

      identification. However, pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations,
      gains and losses from certain foreign currency transactions and sales of
      foreign denominated debt securities are treated as ordinary income for
      U.S. federal income tax purposes.

    d) The portfolio may enter into forward 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 (USD) 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 Portfolio's Trustees and the
      change in the market value is recorded by the Portfolio as unrealized
      appreciation or depreciation of foreign currency translations. At
      September 30, 1995, the Portfolio had open forward foreign currency
      contracts as follows:

    e) The Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax
      purposes. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be taxable 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 earns foreign income which may
      be subject to foreign withholding taxes at various rates.

    f) The Portfolio's Service Agent, Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York
      ("Morgan"), paid the organization expenses of the Portfolio in the amount
      of $10,000. The Portfolio has agreed to reimburse Morgan for these costs
      which are being amortized by the Portfolio on a straight-line basis over a
      five-year period from the commencement of operations.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

    a) The Portfolio has an investment advisory agreement with Morgan. Under the
      terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Portfolio pays Morgan at
      an annual rate of 0.35% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For
      the period October 11, 1994 (commencement of operations) through September
      30, 1995, this fee amounted to $782,748.

    b) The Portfolio has retained Signature Broker-Dealer Services, Inc.
      ("Signature") to serve as Administrator and exclusive placement agent.
      Signature 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 Signature. The agreement provides for
      a fee to be paid to Signature at an annual rate determined by the
      following schedule: 0.01% of the first $1 billion of the aggregate average
      daily net assets of the Portfolio and the other portfolios subject to the
      Administrative Services Agreement, 0.008% of the next $2 billion of such
      net assets, 0.006% of the next $2 billion of such net assets, and 0.004%
      of such net assets in excess of $5 billion. The daily equivalent of the
      fee rate is applied each day to the net assets of the Portfolio. For the
      period October 11, 1994 (commencement of operations) through September 30,
      1995, such expenses amounted to $13,862.

    c) During the period October 11, 1994 (commencement of operations) through
      August 31, 1995, the Portfolio, had a Financial and Fund Accounting
      Services Agreement ("Services Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan
      received a fee, based on the percentages described below, for overseeing
      certain aspects of the administration and operation of the Portfolio and
      which was also designed to provide an expense limit for certain expenses
      of the Portfolio. This fee was calculated exclusive of the advisory fee,
      custody expenses, fund services fee, amortization of organization
      expenses, and brokerage costs at 0.12% of the Portfolio's average daily
      net assets up to $200 million, 0.08% of the next $200 million of average
      daily net assets, and 0.04% on any excess over

                                                                              25

      $400 million. For the period from October 11, 1994, (commencement of
      operations) through August 31, 1995, the fee for these services amounted
      to $156,367. Effective September 1, 1995, the Services Agreement was
      terminated and an interim agreement was entered into between the Portfolio
      and Morgan which provides for the continuation of the oversight services
      that were outlined under the prior agreement and that Morgan shall bear
      all of its expenses incurred in connection with these services.

    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 $20,446 for the period October 11, 1994 (commencement of
      operations) through September 30, 1995.

    e) An aggregate annual fee of $65,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
      a Trustee of The Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, their
      corresponding Portfolios and The Series Portfolio. The Trustees' Fees and
      Expenses shown in the financial statements represent the Portfolio's
      allocated portion of the total fees and expenses. Prior to April 1, 1995,
      the aggregate annual Trustee Fee was $55,000. The Trustee who serves as
      Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of these Funds and Portfolios also
      serves as Chairman of Group and received 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 $2,600.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Trustees and Investors of
The Non-U.S. Fixed Income 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 Non-U.S. Fixed Income Portfolio (the
"Portfolio") at September 30, 1995, and the results of its operations, the
changes in its net assets and its supplementary data for the period October 11,
1994 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 1995, 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 audit. We conducted our
audit 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
audit, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 1995 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.
