                           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,  1999,  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, 1999, the Portfolio incurred $1,593,123 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 with 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,  1999,  the  Portfolio  incurred  $371,729  for  administrative
services.

      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,
1999, the Portfolio incurred $51,460 for Trustees' fees and expenses.

      3. Investment Transactions.  Purchases, and maturities and sales, of money
market  instruments,  excluding  securities  subject to  repurchase  agreements,
aggregated $8,433,359,534 and $8,273,485,383,  respectively,  for the year ended
June 30, 1999.

                          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, 1999, the related  statement of operations for the year then ended, the
statement  of changes in net assets for the years  ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period ended
June 30, 1999.  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, 1999 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, 1999,  and 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.
