U.S. BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.  ORGANIZATION

The U.S. Bond Index Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended, as an open-end
management investment company. The Portfolio was organized on July 24, 1995 as
an unincorporated trust under the laws of New York and commenced operations on
June 11, 1997. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees (the
"Trustees") to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

B.  SECURITY VALUATION

The Portfolio's investments are carried at fair market value as determined by an
independent pricing service at the end of each business day. Short term
obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost which, with accrued interest, approximates value. Securities for which
quotations are not available are stated at fair value as determined in good
faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the
Board of Trustees.

C.  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income
is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and
accretion of discount on investments. Realized gains and losses from securities
transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.

All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses
from the securities transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata among
the investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.

D.  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions
deemed to be creditworthy by the Portfolio's Investment Adviser, subject to the
seller's agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed upon
price. Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with
the Portfolio's custodian and pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement
must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the repurchase
price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying
securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest,
the Portfolio will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the
next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the
seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the Portfolio maintains the right
to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting
loss against the seller. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the
seller, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal
proceedings.

E.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

F.  OTHER

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts in the financial statements.

NOTE 2--FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Portfolio has entered into an Administration and Services Agreement with
Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers Trust"). Under this Administration and Services
Agreement, Bankers Trust provides administrative, custody, transfer agency and
shareholder services to the Portfolio in return for a fee computed daily and
paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.05 of 1% of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets. For the period ended June 30, 1997, this fee aggregated $581.

The Portfolio has entered into an Advisory Agreement with Bankers Trust. Under
this Advisory Agreement, the Portfolio pays Bankers Trust an advisory fee
computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15 of 1% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the period ended June 30, 1997, this
fee aggregated $1,744.

Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive and reimburse expenses of the
Portfolio to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to 0.20 of 1% of the
average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the period ended June 30, 1997,
expenses of the Portfolio have been reduced by $1,860.

Certain trustees and officers of the Portfolio are also directors, officers
and/or employees of Edgewood. None of the trustees so affiliated received
compensation for services as trustee of the Portfolio. Similarly, none of the
Portfolio's officers received compensation from the Portfolio.

NOTE 3--PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments other
than short-term obligations for the period ended June 30, 1997 were $43,334,913
and $5,346,322, respectively.

The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments was $36,204, and
the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments was $64,858.

For federal income tax purposes, the tax basis of investments held at June 30,
1997 was substantially the same as book basis.
