1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The European Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is one of eight subtrusts
(portfolios) comprising The Series Portfolio (the "Series Portfolio"). The
Series Portfolio is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as a no-load open-end management investment company which was organized
as a trust under the laws of the State of New York on June 24, 1994. The
Portfolio's investment objective is to provide a high total return from a
portfolio of equity securities of European companies. The Portfolio commenced
operations on March 28, 1995. The Declaration of the Trust permits the Trustees
to issue an unlimited number of beneficial interests in the Portfolio.
 
Investments in European markets may involve certain considerations and risks not
typically associated with investments in the United States. Future economic and
political developments in European 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 industry 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) The value of each security for which readily available market quotations
       exist is based on a decision as to the broadest and most representative
       market for such security. The value of such security will be based either
       on the last sale price on a national securities exchange or, in the
       absence of recorded sales, at the average of readily available closing
       bid and asked prices on such exchanges. Securities listed on a foreign
       exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price available before the
       time when net assets are valued. Unlisted securities are valued at the
       average of the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter
       market. Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not
       readily available are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures
       established by the Portfolio's Trustees. Such procedures include the use
       of independent pricing services, which use prices based upon yields or
       prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type;
       indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. All
       portfolio securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days are
       valued at amortized cost.
 
       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 value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities
       and foreign currency contracts are translated at the prevailing exchange
       rates at the end of the period. Purchases, sales, income and expenses are
       translated at the
 
                                                                              27

       exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
       Translation gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates
       during the reporting period and gains and losses realized upon settlement
       of foreign currency transactions are reported in the Statement of
       Operations.
 
       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. Dividend
       income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as of the time that the
       relevant ex-dividend date and amount become known. 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 foreign currency
       translations. At June 30, 1997, the Portfolio had no open forward foreign
       currency contracts.
 
    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 liquid 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 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

    f) The Portfolio's custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for
       investments in repurchase agreements on behalf of the Portfolio. It is
       the policy of the Portfolio to value the underlying collateral daily on a
       mark-to-market basis to determine that the value, including accrued
       interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price plus accrued
       interest. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the
       Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the
       proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances,
       in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the
       agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may
       be subject to legal proceedings.
 
    g) 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.
 
    h) The Portfolio incurred organization expenses in the amount of $33,000.
       Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan") has agreed to pay
       the organization expenses of the Portfolio. The Portfolio has agreed to
       reimburse Morgan for these costs which are being deferred and will be
       amortized on a straight-line basis over a period not to exceed five years
       beginning with the commencement of operations of the Portfolio.
 
    i) Expenses incurred by the Series Portfolio with respect to any two or more
       portfolios in the Series Portfolio are allocated in proportion to the net
       assets of each portfolio in the Series Portfolio, except where
       allocations of direct expenses to each portfolio can otherwise be made
       fairly. Expenses directly attributable to a portfolio are charged to that
       portfolio.
 
                                                                              29

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
    a) The Portfolio has an Investment Advisory Agreement with Morgan. Under the
       terms of the agreement, the Portfolio pays Morgan at an annual rate of
       0.65% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months
       ended June 30, 1997 such fees amounted to $2,157,335.
 
    b) The Portfolio has retained Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a registered
       broker-dealer, to serve as the co-administrator and exclusive placement
       agent. Under a Co-Administration Agreement between FDI and the Portfolio,
       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 officers
       affiliated with FDI. 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 JPM Pierpont Funds, The JPM Institutional Funds, the
       Portfolio and the other portfolios in which The JPM Pierpont Funds and
       The JPM Institutional Funds invest (the "Master Portfolios"), JPM Series
       Trust, JPM Series Trust II and certain other investment companies subject
       to similar agreements with FDI. For the six months ended June 30, 1997,
       the fee for these services amounted to $8,210.
 
    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 allocable share of an annual complex-wide charge. This
       charge is calculated daily based on the aggregate average daily 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 payable by the Portfolio is
       determined by the proportionate share its net assets bear to the net
       assets of the Master Portfolios, other investors in the Master Portfolios
       for which Morgan provides similar services and JPM Series Trust. For the
       six months ended June 30, 1997, the fee for these services amounted to
       $103,914.
 
    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 $11,180 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
 
    e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 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. Prior to April 1, 1997, the
       aggregate annual Trustee fee was $65,000. The Portfolio's Chairman and
       Chief Executive also serves as Chairman of Group and receives
       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
       $2,300.
