Prime Cash Reserves Portfolio
N OT E S   TO   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S  (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies Institutional Reserves Portfolio, which changed its name to Prime Cash Reserves Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) on February 27, 2004, is a separate series of Institutional Portfolio (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) 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. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio. Citi Fund Management Inc. (the “Manager”) acts as the Investment Manager. On June 3, 2002 (commencement of operations) Citi Institutional Cash Reserves transferred all of its investable assets ($1,383,780,908) to the Portfolio in exchange for an interest in the Portfolio.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio are as follows:

     A. Valuation of Investments Money market instruments are valued at amortized cost, in accordance with the 1940 Act. This method involves valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. The Portfolio’s use of amortized cost is subject to its compliance with certain conditions as specified under the 1940 Act.

     B. Interest Income and Expenses Interest income consists of interest accrued and discount earned (including both original issue and market discount) on the investments of the Portfolio, accrued ratably to the date of maturity, plus or minus net realized gain or loss, if any, on investments. Expenses of the Portfolio are accrued daily. The Portfolio bears all costs of its operations other than expenses specifically assumed by the Manager.

     C. U.S. Federal Income Taxes The Portfolio is considered a partnership under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is necessary.

     D. Repurchase Agreements It is the policy of the Portfolio to require the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System or to have segregated within the custodian bank’s vault, all securities held as collateral in support of repurchase agreement investments. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Portfolio to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of the repurchase agreements’ underlying investments to ensure the existence of a proper level of collateral.

     E. Other Purchases, maturities and sales of money market instruments are accounted for on the date of the transaction.

     F. Fees Paid Indirectly The Portfolio’s custodian calculates its fees based on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The fee is reduced according to a fee arrange-

19


Prime Cash Reserves Portfolio
N O T E S  TO  F I N A N C I A L  S T A T E M E N T S  (Unaudited)  (Continued)

ment, which provides for custody fees to be reduced based on a formula developed to measure the value of cash deposited with the custodian by the Portfolio. This amount is shown as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations.

2. Management Fees The Manager is responsible for overall management of the Portfolio’s, business affairs, and has a Management Agreement with the Portfolio. The Manager or an affiliate also provides certain administrative services to the Portfolio. These administrative services include providing general office facilities and supervising the overall administration of the Portfolio.

     The management fees paid to the Manager are accrued daily and payable monthly. The management fees are computed at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The management fees amounted to $1,655,834 of which $410,699 was voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 29, 2004. The Portfolio pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any officer who is affiliated with the Manager, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Fund from the Manager or its affiliates. Certain of the officers and a Trustee of the Portfolio are officers and a director of the Manager or its affiliates.

3. Investment Transactions Purchases and maturities and sales of money market instruments aggregated $67,661,078,765 and $66,803,964,220, respectively, for the six months ended February 29, 2004.

4. Trustee Retirement Plan The Trustees of the Fund have adopted a Retirement Plan for all Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, within the meaning of the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, all Trustees are required to retire from the Board as of the last day of the calendar year in which the applicable Trustee attains age 75 (certain Trustees who had already attained age 75 when the Plan was adopted were required to retire effective December 31, 2003). Trustees may retire under the Plan before attaining the mandatory retirement age. Trustees who have served as Trustee of the Trust or any of the investment companies associated with Citigroup for at least ten years when they retire are eligible to receive the maximum retirement benefit under the Plan. The maximum retirement benefit is an amount equal to five times the amount of retainer and regular meeting fees payable to a Trustee during the calendar year ending on or immediately prior to the applicable Trustee’s retirement. Amounts under the Plan may be paid in installments or in a lump sum (discounted to present value). The Portfolio’s allocable share of the expenses of the Plan for the six months ended February 29, 2004 and the related liability at ended February 29, 2004 was not material.

5. Additional Information The Portfolio has received the following information from Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), the Citigroup business unit which includes the Portfolio’s Investment Manager and other investment advisory companies, all of which are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Citigroup. CAM is reviewing its entry, through an affiliate, into the transfer agent business in the

20


Prime Cash Reserves Portfolio
N OT E S  TO  F I N A N C I A L  S T A T E M E N T S  (Unaudited)  (Continued)

period 1997-1999. As CAM currently understands the facts, at the time CAM decided to enter the transfer agent business, CAM sub-contracted for a period of five years certain of the transfer agency services to a third party and also concluded a revenue guarantee agreement with this sub-contractor providing that the sub-contractor would guarantee certain benefits to CAM or its affiliates (the “Revenue Guarantee Agreement”). In connection with the subsequent purchase of the subcontractor’s business by an affiliate of the current sub-transfer agent (PFPC Inc.) used by CAM on many of the funds it manages, this Revenue Guarantee Agreement was amended eliminating those benefits in exchange for arrangements that included a one-time payment from the sub-contractor.

The boards of CAM-managed funds (the “Boards”) were not informed of the Revenue Guarantee Agreement with the subcontractor at the time the Boards considered and approved the transfer agent agreements. Nor were the Boards informed of the subsequent amendment to the Revenue Guarantee Agreement when that occurred.

CAM has begun to take corrective actions. CAM will pay to the applicable funds approximately $17 million (plus interest) that CAM and its affiliates received from the Revenue Guarantee Agreement and its amendment. CAM also plans an independent review to verify that the transfer agency fees charged by CAM were fairly priced as compared to competitive alternatives. CAM is instituting new procedures and making changes designed to ensure no similar arrangements are entered into the future.

CAM has briefed the SEC, the New York State Attorney General and other regulators with respect to this matter, as well as the U.S. Attorney who is investigating the matter. CAM is cooperating with governmental authorities on this matter, the ultimate outcome of which is not yet determinable.

Institutional Enhanced Portfolio
N OT E S   TO   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S   (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies Institutional Enhanced Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is a separate series of Institutional Portfolio (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as a no load, diversified, open-end management company which was organized as a trust under the law of the State of New York. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio. Citi Fund Management Inc. (the “Manager”) acts as the Investment Manager. The Portfolio commenced operations on March 11, 2003.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio are as follows:

     A.Valuation of Investments Short-term obligation instruments with less than 60 days remaining to maturity when acquired by the Portfolio are valued at amortized cost, which the Trustees have determined in good faith constitutes fair value. Debt securities are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service which utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques.

     B. Investment Income and Expenses Investment income consists of interest accrued and discount earned (including both original issue and market discount), adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium, on the investments of the Portfolio, accrued ratably to the date of maturity, plus or minus net realized gain or loss, if any, on investments. Expenses of the Portfolio are accrued daily.

     C. Federal Income Taxes The Portfolio’s policy is to comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is necessary.

     D. Fees Paid Indirectly The Portfolio’s custodian calculates its fees based on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The fee is reduced according to a fee arrangement, which provides for custody fees to be reduced based on a formula developed to measure the value of cash deposited with the custodian by the Portfolio. This amount is shown as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations.

2. Management Fees The Manager is responsible for overall management of the Portfolio’s business affairs, and has a Management Agreement with the Portfolio. The Manager or an affiliate also provides certain administrative services to the Portfolio. These administrative services include providing general office facilities and supervising the overall administration of the Portfolio.

Institutional Enhanced Portfolio
N OT E S  TO  F I N A N C I A L  S T A T E M E N T S  (Unaudited)  (Continued)

     The management fees paid to the Manager are accrued daily and payable monthly. The management fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The management fee amounted to $6,414 of which all was voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 29, 2004. The Portfolio pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any officer who is affiliated with the Manager, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Fund from the Manager or its affiliates. Certain of the officers and a Trustee of the Portfolio are officers and a director of the Manager or its affiliates.

3. Investment Transactions Purchases and sales of investments other than short-term obligations aggregated $1,304,934 and $3,168,230 respectively, for the six months ended February 29, 2004.

At February 29, 2004 the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for Federal income tax purposes was:




Gross unrealized appreciation
$
1,145
Gross unrealized depreciation
0



Net unrealized appreciation
$
1,145



4. Trustee Retirement Plan The Trustees of the Portfolio have adopted a Retirement Plan for all Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Portfolio, within the meaning of the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, all Trustees are required to retire from the Board as of the last day of the calendar year in which the applicable Trustee attains age 75 (certain Trustees who had already attained age 75 when the Plan was adopted are required to retire effective December 31, 2003). Trustees may retire under the Plan before attaining the mandatory retirement age. Trustees who have served as Trustee of the Trust or any of the investment companies associated with Citigroup for at least ten years when they retire are eligible to receive the maximum retirement benefit under the Plan. The maximum retirement benefit is an amount equal to five times the amount of retainer and regular meeting fees payable to a Trustee during the calendar year ending on or immediately prior to the applicable Trustee’s retirement. Amounts under the Plan may be paid in installments or in a lump sum (discounted to present value). The Portfolio’s allocable share of the expenses of the Plan for the six months ended February 29, 2004 and the related liability at February 29, 2004 was not material.

5. Assumption of Expenses The Manager has voluntarily agreed to pay a portion of the unwaived expenses of the Portfolio for the six months ended February 29, 2004 which amounted to $40,145 to maintain a voluntary expense limitation of average daily net assets of 0.10%. This voluntary expense limitation may be discontinued at any time.

6. Additional Information The Fund has received the following information from Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), the Citigroup business unit which includes the Fund’s Investment Manager and other investment advisory companies, all of which are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Citigroup. CAM is reviewing its entry, through an affiliate, into the transfer agent business in the period 1997-1999. As CAM currently understands the facts, at the time CAM decided to enter the transfer agent business, CAM sub-contracted for a period of five years certain of the transfer agency services to a third party and also concluded a revenue guarantee agreement with this sub-contractor providing that the sub-contractor would guarantee certain benefits to CAM or its affiliates (the “Revenue Guarantee Agreement”). In connection with the subsequent purchase of the sub-contractor’s business by an affiliate of the current sub-transfer agent (PFPC Inc.) used by CAM on many of the funds it manages, this Revenue Guarantee Agreement was amended eliminating those benefits in exchange for arrangements that included a one-time payment from the sub-contractor.

The Boards of CAM-managed funds (the “Boards”) were not informed of the Revenue Guarantee Agreement with the sub-contractor at the time the Boards considered and approved the transfer agent agreements. Nor were the Boards informed of the subsequent amendment to the Revenue Guarantee Agreement when that occurred.

CAM has begun to take corrective actions. CAM will pay to the applicable funds approximately $17 million (plus interest) that CAM and its affiliates received from the Revenue Guarantee Agreement and its amendment. CAM also plans an independent review to verify that the transfer agency fees charged by CAM were fairly priced as compared to competitive alternatives. CAM is instituting new procedures and making changes designed to ensure no similar arrangements are entered into in the future.

CAM has briefed the SEC, the New York State Attorney General and other regulators with respect to this matter, as well as the U.S. Attorney who is investigating the matter. CAM is cooperating with governmental authorities on this matter, the ultimate outcome of which is not yet determinable.
