                           U.S. MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (expressed in U.S. dollars)

     1.  Organization and Accounting  Policies.  The U.S. Money Market Portfolio
(the  "Portfolio")  is registered  under the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as a no-load, diversified, open-end management investment company which
was  organized  as a trust  under  the laws of the State of New York on June 15,
1993. The Portfolio commenced operations on October 31, 1994. The Declaration of
Trust permits the Trustees to create an unlimited number of beneficial interests
in the Portfolio.

     The  Portfolio's  financial  statements  are  prepared in  accordance  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,  which
require  management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the
financial  statements  and are  based,  in  part,  on the  following  accounting
policies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

          A. Valuation of Investments.  The Portfolio  values its investments at
     amortized cost, which approximates  market value. The amortized cost method
     values  a  security  at its  cost at the time of  purchase  and  thereafter
     assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. The
     Portfolio's  use of amortized  cost is in compliance  with Rule 2a-7 of the
     Investment Company Act of 1940.

          B. Interest  Income.  Interest income consists of interest accrued and
     discount  earned  (including  both original issue and market  discount) and
     premium  amortization on the investments of the Portfolio,  accrued ratably
     to the date of  maturity,  plus or minus net  realized  short-term  gain or
     loss, if any, on investments.

          C. Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio is treated as a partnership for
     Federal  income tax purposes and its operations are conducted in such a way
     that it is not to be  considered  engaged in a U.S.  trade or business  for
     U.S. tax purposes.  Accordingly,  no provision for Federal  income taxes is
     necessary.  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 comply with
     the  provisions  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code  applicable  to  regulated
     investment companies. At June 30, 1997, the cost of investments for Federal
     income tax purposes was equal to the amortized cost of the  investments for
     financial statement purposes.

          D.  Repurchase  Agreements.  The  Portfolio  at  all  times  maintains
     possession   of   securities    collateralizing    repurchase   agreements.
     Additionally,   the  Portfolio  monitors  the  value  of  such  securities,
     including accrued  interest,  to ensure the collateral at least equals 100%
     of the value of the repurchase agreement.

          E. Deferred Organization Expenses.  Expenses incurred by the Portfolio
     in connection with its organization are being amortized by the Portfolio on
     a straight-line basis over a five year period.

          F. Other.  Investment  transactions  are accounted for on a trade date
     basis.  Realized gain and loss, if any, from  investment  transactions  are
     determined on the basis of identified cost.

     2. Transactions with Affiliates.

     Investment Advisory Fee. The Portfolio has an investment advisory agreement
with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (the "Adviser") for which it pays the Adviser
a fee calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate equivalent to 0.15% of
the Portfolio's  average daily net assets. For the year ended June 30, 1997, the
Portfolio incurred $1,274,559 for advisory services.

     Administrative  Fee. The Portfolio  has an  administrative  agreement  with
Brown Brothers  Harriman Trust Company (Cayman) Ltd. (the  "Administrator")  for
which it pays the  Administrator  a fee calculated  daily and paid monthly at an
annual rate  equivalent  to 0.035% of the  Portfolio's  average net assets.  The
Administrator has a  subadministration  agreement with Signature Financial Group
(Cayman) Ltd. for which Signature  Financial  Group (Cayman) Ltd.  receives such
compensation  as is from  time to time  agreed  upon,  but not in  excess of the
amount  paid to the  Administrator.  For the  year  ended  June  30,  1997,  the
Portfolio incurred $297,397 for administrative services.

                           (expressed in U.S. dollars)

     Trustees' Fees.  Each Trustee of the Portfolio  receives an annual retainer
paid by the  Portfolio.  Each  Trustee  is  also  reimbursed  for  out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with board meetings. For the year ended June 30,
1997, the Portfolio incurred $30,990 for Trustees' fees and expenses.

     3. Investment  Transactions.  Purchases, and maturities and sales, of money
market  instruments,  excluding  securities  subject to  repurchase  agreements,
aggregated $52,207,559,189 and $52,065,407,774, respectively, for the year ended
June 30, 1997.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Trustees and Investors
U.S. Money Market Portfolio:

     We have  audited  the  accompanying  statement  of assets and  liabilities,
including the portfolio of  investments,  of U.S.  Money Market  Portfolio as of
June 30, 1997, the related  statement of operations for the year then ended, the
statement  of changes in net assets for the years  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
and the  financial  highlights  for each of the years in the  three-year  period
ended June 30, 1997. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Portfolio's  management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial  statements and financial  highlights based on our
audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance  with  auditing  standards  generally
accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards  require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes  examining,  on a test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and
disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned at June 30, 1997 by correspondence with the custodian. 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 audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

     In our opinion,  such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of U.S. Money Market
Portfolio at June 30, 1997,  the results of its  operations,  the changes in its
net assets,  and its  financial  highlights  for  respective  stated  periods in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
