THE NON-U.S. FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31,1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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 (the "Act"), 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's investment
objective is to provide a high total return, consistent with moderate risk of
capital, from a portfolio of international fixed income securities. 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.
 
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 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 industy 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)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 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.
 
                                                                              25

THE NON-U.S. FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
MARCH 31,1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
      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.
 
    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 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 Portfolio's Trustees 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 March 31, 1997, the Portfolio had open forward currency
      contracts as follows:

    e)Futures -- A futures contract is an agreement to purchase/sell a specified
      quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified future date or to
      make/receive a cash payment based on the value of a securities index. The
      price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the
      Portfolio enters into the contract. Upon entering into such a contract,
      the Portfolio is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or
      securities equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the
      exchange. Pursuant to the contract, the Portfolio agrees to receive from
      or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in
      the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as
      "variation margin" and are recorded by the Portfolio as unrealized gains
      or losses. When the contract is closed the Portfolio records a realized
      gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at
      the time it was opened and the value at the time when it was closed. The
      Portfolio invests in futures contracts solely for the purpose of hedging
      its existing portfolio securities, or securities the Portfolio intends to
      purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing
      market interest rates or securities movements. The use of futures
      transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in
      the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged
      assets, and the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of
      their contracts. Futures transactions during the six months ended March
      31, 1997 are summarized as follows:

    f)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 earns foreign income which may
      be subject to foreign withholding taxes at various rates.
 
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
    a)The Portfolio has an Investment Advisory Agreement with Morgan Guaranty
      Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"). Under the terms of the agreement,
      the Portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of 0.35% of the Portfolio's
      average daily net assets. For the six months ended March 31, 1997, such
      fees amounted to $266,522.
 
    b)The Portfolio has retained Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a registered
      broker-dealer, to serve as co-administrator and exclusive placement agent.
      Under a Co-Administration Agreement, 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. Under
      the Co-Administration Agreement, 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 The JPM Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, The JPM
      Advisor Funds, the Portfolio and other portfolios (the "Master
      Portfolios") in which The JPM Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds
      and The JPM Advisor Funds invest, JPM Series Trust and JPM Series Trust
      II. For the six months ended March 31, 1997, the fee for these services
      amounted to $1,944.
 
      On November 15, 1996, The JPM Advisor Funds terminated operations and were
      liquidated. Subsequent to that date, the net assets of the JPM Advisor
      Funds were no longer included in the calculation of the allocation of
      FDI's fees.
 
    c)The Portfolio has an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Services
      Agreement") with Morgan under which Morgan is responsible for overseeing
      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 proportionate share of an annual
      complex-wide charge. This charge is calculated daily based on the
      aggregate net assets of the Master Portfolios and JPM 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 paid by the
      Portfolio is determined by the proportionate share that its net assets
      bear to the net assets of the Master Portfolios, investors in the Master
      Portfolios for which Morgan provides similar services, and JPM Series
      Trust. For the six months ended March 31, 1997, the fee for these services
      amounted to $24,061.
 
    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 $2,802 for the six months ended March 31, 1997.
 
    e)An aggregate annual fee of $65,000 is paid to each Trustee for serving as
      a Trustee of The JPM Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, the
      Master Portfolios and JPM Series Trust. The Trustees' Fees and Expenses
      shown in the financial statements represents 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 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 $400.
