THE DISCIPLINED EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Disciplined Equity Portfolio (the "portfolio") is one of five 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, diversified, 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 commenced operations on December 30, 1996. The portfolio's
investment objective is to provide a high total return from a broadly
diversified portfolio of equity securities. The Declaration of Trust permits the
trustees to issue an unlimited number of beneficial interests in the portfolio.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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 portfolio values securities that are listed on an exchange using
      prices supplied daily by an independent pricing service that are based on
      the last traded price on a national securities exchange or in the absence
      of recorded trades, at the readily available mean of the bid and asked
      prices on such exchange, if such exchange or market constitutes the
      broadest and most representative market for the security. Securities
      listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last traded price or in the
      absence of recorded trades, at the readily available mean of the bid and
      asked prices on such exchange available before the time when net assets
      are valued. Independent pricing service procedures may also include the
      use of prices based on yields or prices of securities of comparable
      quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers,
      operating data, and general market conditions. Unlisted securities are
      valued at the average of the quoted bid and asked prices in the
      over-the-counter market provided by a principal market maker or dealer. If
      prices are not supplied by the portfolio's independent pricing service or
      principal market maker or dealer, such securities are priced using fair
      values in accordance with procedures adopted by the portoflio's Trustees.
      All short-term securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less
      are valued using the amortized cost method.

   b) 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.

   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.

THE DISCIPLINED EQUITY PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   d) The portfolio incurred organization expenses in the amount of $9,049 which
      are being deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period
      not to exceed five years beginning with the commencement of operations of
      the portfolio.

   e) 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.

   f) 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 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.

   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.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

   a) Prior to October 1, 1998, the portfolio had an Investment Advisory
      Agreement with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"). Under
      the terms of the agreement, the portfolio paid Morgan at an annual rate of
      0.35% of the portfolio's average daily net assets. Effective October 1,
      1998, the portfolio's Investment Advisor is J.P. Morgan Investment
      Management Inc. ("JPMIM"), an affiliate of Morgan and a wholly owned
      subsidiary of J.P. Morgan, and the terms of the agreement will remain the
      same. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, such fees amounted to
      $5,067,613.

      The fund may invest in one or more affiliated money market funds: J.P.
      Morgan Institutional Prime Money Market Fund, J.P. Morgan Institutional
      Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, J.P. Morgan Institutional Federal Money
      Market Fund and J.P. Morgan Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund. The
      Advisor has agreed to reimburse its advisory fee from the fund in an
      amount to offset any doubling of investment advisory and shareholder
      servicing fees. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, J.P.

                                                                              29

      May 31, 2000 includes $1,209,254 of interest income from investment in
      affiliated Money Market Funds.

   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
      portfolio and certain other investment companies subject to similar
      agreements with FDI. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, the fee for
      these services amounted to $13,826.

   c) The portfolio has an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Services
      Agreement") with Morgan, under which Morgan is responsible for 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 based on the aggregate average daily net assets of the
      portfolio and other portfolios for which JPMIM acts as investment advisor
      (the "master portfolios") and J.P. Morgan 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 that 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 J.P. Morgan Series Trust.
      For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, the fee for these services
      amounted to $359,899.

      In addition, J.P. Morgan has agreed to reimburse the portfolio to the
      extent necessary to maintain the total operating expenses of the portfolio
      at no more than 0.45% of the average daily net assets of the portfolio
      through September 30, 2000. This arrangement can be changed or terminated
      at any time at the option of J.P. Morgan. For the fiscal year ended May
      31, 2000, J.P. Morgan did not reimburse expenses under this agreement.

   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 $24,487 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000.

   e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each trustee for serving as
      a trustee of the J.P. Morgan Funds, the J.P. Morgan Institutional Funds,
      the master portfolios and J.P. Morgan 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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Trustees and Investors of
The Disciplined Equity Portfolio

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the supplementary data present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of The Disciplined Equity Portfolio (the
"portfolio") at May 31, 2000, the results of its operations for the year then
ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period
then ended and the supplementary data for each of the three years in the period
then ended, and for the period December 30, 1996 (commencement of operations)
through May 31, 1997, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. These financial statements and supplementary data
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the
portfolio's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at May 31, 2000 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.
