Cash Reserves Portfolio

N O T E S   T O   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

1. Significant Accounting Policies Cash Reserves Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) 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.

     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 Rule 2a-7 under 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 Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act.

     B. Interest Income and Expenses Interest income consists of interest accrued and discount earned (including both original issue and market discount adjusted for 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. The Portfolio bears all costs of its operations other than expenses specifically assumed by the Administrator.

     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 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 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.

     The management fees paid to the Manager are accrued daily and payable monthly. The management fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Funds’ average daily net assets. The management fee amounted to $66,705,349 of which $31,802,902 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 2003. 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 Portfolio 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, maturities and sales of money market instruments aggregated $708,198,861,551 and $714,004,635,617, respectively, for the year ended August 31, 2003.

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 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 Fund’s allocable share of the expenses of the Plan for the year ended August 31, 2003 and the related liability at August 31, 2003 was not material.

To the Trustees and Investors of Cash Reserves 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 financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cash Reserves Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) at August 31, 2003, 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 financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (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 of America, 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 August 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

EX-99.CODE ETH 3 c29258_ex99code.txt JUNE, 2003 EX-99.CODE ETH SARBANES-OXLEY ACT CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS OF CAM\U.S. REGISTERED INVESTMENT COMPANIES I. COVERED OFFICERS/PURPOSE OF THE CODE This code of ethics (the "Code") for Citigroup Asset Management's ("CAM's") U. S. registered proprietary investment companies (collectively, "Funds" and each a, "Company") applies to each Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Administrative Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller (the "Covered Officers") for the purpose of promoting: o honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; o full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in other public communications made by the Company; o compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations; o the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and o accountability for adherence to the Code. Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest. II. ADMINISTRATION OF CODE The Regional Director of CAM Compliance, North America ("Compliance Officer") is responsible for administration of this Code, including granting pre-approvals (see Section III below) and waivers (as described in Section VI below), applying this Code in specific situations in which questions are presented under it and interpreting this Code in any particular situation. III. COVERED OFFICERS SHOULD ETHICALLY HANDLE ACTUAL AND APPARENT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST OVERVIEW. A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Company. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Company. Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Company and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Investment Company Act") and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Investment Advisers Act"). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Company because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Company. The compliance programs and procedures of the Company and its investment adviser are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code (see Section VII below). Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between a Company and the investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for a Company or for the adviser, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser and a Company. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Company and the adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of a Company. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Funds' Boards of Directors\Trustees ("Boards") that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes. Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Company. * * * * Each Covered Officer must: o not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decision financial reporting ( e.g. through fraudulent accounting practices) by the Company whereby the Covered Officer(1) would benefit personally to the detriment of the Company; or o not cause the Company to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than for the benefit of the Company; and o not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Company to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market affect of such transactions. o There are some potential conflict of interest situations that should always be discussed with the Compliance Officer, if material. Examples are as follows: (1) service as a director on the board of any public or private company; (2) any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Company's service providers, other than its investment adviser, (3) a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Company for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment, such as compensation or equity ownership; and (4) the receipt of any gifts or the conveyance of any value (including entertainment ) from any company with which the Company has current or prospective business dealings, except: (a) any non-cash gifts of nominal value (nominal value is less than $100); and (b) customary and reasonable meals and entertainment at which the giver is present, such as the occasional business meal or sporting event. IV. DISCLOSURE AND COMPLIANCE Each Covered Officer: o should be familiar with his or her responsibilities in connection with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Company; - ------------------ (1) Any activity or relationship that would present a conflict for a Covered Officer would also present a conflict for the Covered Officer if a member of a Covered Officer's family (spouse, minor children and any account over which a Covered Officer is deemed to have beneficial interest) engages in such an activity or has such a relationship. o should not knowingly misrepresent, or knowingly cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Company to others, whether within or outside the Company, including to the Company's directors and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations; o should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Funds and the investment adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds; and o is responsible to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations. V. REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY Each Covered Officer must: o upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that the Covered Officer has received, read, and understands the Code; o annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Code; o annually disclose affiliations and other relationships related to conflicts of interest; o not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Funds or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and o notify the Compliance Officer promptly if he knows of any violation of this Code (failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code). In rendering decisions and interpretations and in conducting investigations of potential violations under the Code, the Compliance Officer may, at his discretion, consult with such persons as he determines to be appropriate, including, but not limited to, a senior legal officer of the Company or its investment adviser or its affiliates, independent auditors or other consultants, subject to any requirement to seek pre-approval from the Company's audit committee for the retention of independent auditors to perform permissible non-audit services. The Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing the Code: o the compliance Officer will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violation of which he becomes aware; o if, after investigation the Compliance Officer believes that no violation has occurred, the Compliance Officer is not required to take any further action; o any matter that the Compliance Officer believes is a violation will be reported to the Directors of the Fund who are not "interested persons" as defined in the Investment Company Act the ("Non-interested Directors") o if the Non-interested Directors of the Board concur that a violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer; and o any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules The Compliance Officer shall submit an annual report to the Board describing any waivers granted. VI. WAIVERS(2) A Covered Officer may request a waiver of any of the provisions of the Code by submitting a written request for such waiver to the Compliance Officer, setting forth the basis of such request and explaining how the waiver would be consistent with the standards of conduct described herein. The Compliance Officer shall review such request and make a determination thereon in writing, which shall be binding. In determining whether to waive any provisions of this Code, the Compliance Officer shall consider whether the proposed waiver is consistent with honest and ethical conduct and other purposes of this Code. VII. OTHER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds, the Funds' investment advisers, principal underwriters, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The codes of ethics of the funds and the investment advisers and principal underwriters under Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act and the Citigroup Code of Conduct and Citigroup Statement of Business Practices as well as other policies of the Fund's investment advisers or their affiliates are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code. - ------------ (2) For purposes of this Code, Item 2 of Form N-CSR defines "waiver" as "the approval by a Company of a material departure from a provision of the Code" and includes an"implicit waiver," which means a Company's failure to take action within a reasonable period of time regarding a material departure from a provision of the Code that has been made known to an executive officer of the Company. VIII. AMENDMENTS Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibits A, B and C must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of Non-interested Directors. IX. CONFIDENTIALITY All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the appropriate Board and Company and their respective counsel, counsel to the non-Interested Directors or independent auditors or other consultants referred to in Section V above. X. INTERNAL USE The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Company, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
