                         BBH U.S. MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO

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

      1.  Organization  and  Accounting  Policies.  The BBH  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.  Effective  July 1, 2000, the Portfolio
changed its name to BBH U.S. Money Market 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,  2000,  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 Expense. 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, 2000, the Portfolio  incurred  $1,974,749 for advisory  services.  Effective
July 1, 2000,  the fee paid to the  Adviser  will be  calculated  daily and paid
monthly at an annual rate equivalent to 0.10% of the  Portfolio's  average daily
net assets.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

      Administrative  Fee. The Portfolio has an  administrative  agreement  with
Brown Brothers Harriman Trust Company,  LLC (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  daily  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,  2000,  the
Portfolio incurred $460,775 for administrative services.

      Trustees'  Fees and Expenses.  Each Trustee of the  Portfolio  receives an
annual  retainer  paid by the  Portfolio.  Each Trustee is also  reimbursed  for
reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred in connection with board meetings.
For the year ended June 30, 2000, the Portfolio  incurred  $72,810 for Trustees'
fees and expenses.

      Effective  July 1, 2000,  the Portfolio  entered into a custody  agreement
with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.

      3. Investment Transactions.  Purchases, and maturities and sales, of money
market  instruments,  excluding  securities  subject to  repurchase  agreements,
aggregated $7,822,435,795 and $7,297,982,900,  respectively,  for the year ended
June 30, 2000.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Trustees and Investors
BBH U.S. Money Market Portfolio:

      We have  audited the  accompanying  statement  of assets and  liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments,  of BBH U.S. Money Market Portfolio (the
"Portfolio")  as of June 30, 2000,  the related  statement of operations for the
year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for the years ended June
30, 2000 and 1999,  and the  financial  highlights  for each of the years in the
five-year period ended June 30, 2000.  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, 2000, 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 BBH U.S.  Money
Market Portfolio at June 30, 2000, the results of its operations, the changes in
its net assets,  and its financial  highlights for the respective stated periods
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
