MORGAN TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND July 1, 2000 Dear Shareholder: For the six months ended May 31, 2000, the J.P. Morgan Tax Exempt Money Market Fund posted a 1.71% return, besting the 1.63% return of the Lipper Retail Tax Exempt Money Market Funds Average. The fund's current 7-day yield of 3.71% translates into a tax equivalent yield of 6.14%, assuming a 39.6% federal income tax rate. The fund maintained a stable net asset value of $1.00 over the period. On May 31, 2000, the net assets of the fund were approximately $1.8 billion, while the assets of The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio, in which the fund invests, amounted to approximately $2.4 billion. Dividends of approximately $0.02 per share were paid from ordinary income, all of which is exempt from federal income tax. This report includes a discussion with Abigail Feder, a member of the portfolio management team for The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio. In this interview, Abigail talks about the events of the previous six months that had the greatest effect on the portfolio and discusses our investment strategy. As chairman and president of Asset Management Services, we appreciate your investment in the fund. If you have any comments or questions, please call your Morgan representative or J.P. Morgan Funds Services at (800) 521-5411. Sincerely yours, By: /s/ Ramon de Oliverira By: /s/ Deith M. Schappert Ramon de Oliveira Keith M.

1 FUND PERFORMANCE EXAMINING PERFORMANCE One way to look at performance is to review a fund's average annual total return. This figure takes the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and shows what would have happened if the fund had achieved that return by performing at a constant rate each year. Average annual total returns represent the average yearly change of a fund's value over various time periods, typically one, five, or ten years (or since inception). Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized and provide a picture of how a fund has performed over the short term.

FEDER, vice president and member of the portfolio management team for The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio, in which the fund invests. Abigail is the head of the short-term and tax aware product group and specializes in short term taxable and tax-aware fixed income strategies. She became a J.P. Morgan Investment Management employee in 2000 after 14 years with Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Investment Management (MSDW) where she was responsible for managing short term fixed income portfolios.Within this capacity, she managed both taxable and tax-advantaged portfolios investing in a broad range of fixed income instruments across much of the yield curve. She was a senior member of the MSDW corporate team representing the asset backed security sector. Prior to her work as a portfolio manager, she held an analyst position within Morgan Stanley's investment banking division. Abigail holds a B.A. from Vassar College. This interview was conducted on June 23, 2000 and represents Abigail's views on that date. TELL ME ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE TAX EXEMPT MARKETS OVER THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2000. AJF: Yields in the municipal money market sector were volatile in November and December of 1999 as risk-averse dealers sold down their inventories because they were reluctant to hold large positions over year-end. In both the taxable and tax-exempt markets, many issuers pushed up issuance and extended maturities out into late January/early February to avoid potential year-end complications. The Federal Reserve rate increase in November pushed short-term tax-exempt yields higher in sympathy with their taxable counterparts. In addition, concerns over Y2K-related effects on the availability of investments over the year-end caused a great deal of speculation and positioning leading up to December 31. The explosive combination of very strong economic growth, the Federal Reserve's continued tightening of monetary policy, and the U.S. Treasury's announcement that it would begin repurchasing outstanding long Treasury bonds wreaked havoc in the fixed income markets during the first few months of 2000. Despite the inversion that occurred in the Treasury yield curve, the AAA tax-exempt yield curve remained upwardly sloped, albeit slightly flatter than in December. Variable rate demand notes, a significant portion of the portfolio, were relatively expensive because January coupon-related buying was prolonged into the beginning of the calendar year by lower note and derivative issuance. In April there were larger than expected redemptions in the municipal market as investors sold securities to meet income tax obligations. This increased supply caused yields - particularly for variable municipals - to widen dramatically. HOW DID THESE MARKETS AFFECT THE PORTFOLIO? AJF: The fund performed well versus its peer group during the first half of the fiscal year. In addition, we had significant growth in the fund's assets. Despite decreased supply (resulting from lower issuance) and the increase in assets, we were able to keep the fund fully invested in tax-exempt securities. The fund experienced expected outflows for tax payments throughout the quarter. We managed the fund to provide sufficient liquidity to meet these needs. 3 WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THE COMING MONTHS AND HOW ARE YOU POSITIONING THE PORTFOLIO TO HELP MEET YOUR OBJECTIVES? AJF: Consensus is mounting that the economy will achieve the desired soft landing. This sentiment is based on the feeling that the recent slowdown is not a temporary event and that the tightening credit conditions will continue to moderate economic activity. Inflation appears contained and corporate earnings can be expected to come under increasing pressure under these conditions. The outlook for the federal funds rate is for an additional 25 basis points of tightening by year-end. In the meantime, tax-exempt money market rates should decline as state and local government note issues mature in June and early July and supply decreases. We expect the municipal money market sector to remain expensive until the new issue municipal notes supply begins to increase again over the course of the summer. As note supply materializes, we hope to purchase notes while also decreasing the concentration in variable rate securities. 4 GLOSSARY OF TERMS AVERAGE MATURITY: The weighted average time to maturity of the entire portfolio with the weights equal to the percentage of the portfolio invested in each security (see Maturity). CREDIT RATING: The rating assigned to a bond or note by independent rating agencies such as Standard & Poor's Corporation and Moody's Investors Service. In evaluating creditworthiness, these agencies assess the issuer's present financial condition and future ability and willingness to make principal and interest payments when due. CREDIT RISK: Financial risk that an obligation will not be paid and a loss will result. LETTER OF CREDIT: Instrument or document issued by a bank guaranteeing the payment of a customer's drafts up to a stated amount and eliminating the seller's risk. MATURITY: The date on which the life of a financial instrument ends through cash or physical settlement or expiration with no value or the date a security comes due and fully payable. VARIABLE RATE DEMAND NOTE: Note representing borrowings that is payable on demand and that bears interest tied to a base money market rate, usually the bank prime rate. The rate on the note is adjusted upward or downward each time the base rate changes. YIELD: Coupon rate of interest on a bond divided by the purchase price. As a bond's price falls, its yield rises and vice versa. YIELD CURVE: A graph showing the term structure or level of interest rates ranging from the shortest to the longest maturities. The resulting curve shows if short-term interest rates are higher or lower than long-term rates. Normally, the longer the bond, the higher the yield it offers, resulting in a positive yield curve. An inverted yield curve can occur when there are supply/demand imbalances for various maturities, which result in short-term rates at higher levels than longer-term instruments. YIELD SPREAD: The difference in yield between different types of securities. For example, if a Treasury bond is yielding 6.00% and a municipal is yielding 5.00%, the yield spread is 1.00% or 100 basis points. 5 FUND FACTS INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE J.P.

MORGAN TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) MAY 31, 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES J.P. Morgan Tax Exempt Money Market Fund (the "fund") is a separate series of the J.P. Morgan Funds, a Massachusetts business trust (the "trust") which was organized on November 4, 1992. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The fund, prior to its tax-free reorganization on July 11, 1993, to a series of the trust, operated as a stand-alone mutual fund. Costs related to the reorganization were borne by Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"), a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated ("J.P. Morgan"). The fund invests all of its investable assets in The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio (the "portfolio"), a diversified open-end management investment company having the same investment objective as the fund. The value of such investment included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects the fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the portfolio (74% at May 31, 2000). The performance of the fund is directly affected by the performance of the portfolio. The financial statements of the portfolio, including the Schedule of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the fund's financial statements. 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 fund: a) Valuation of securities by the portfolio is discussed in Note 1a of the portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements which are included elsewhere in this report. b) The fund records its share of net investment income, realized gain and loss and adjusts its investment in the portfolio each day. All the net investment income and realized gain and loss of the portfolio is allocated pro rata among the fund and other investors in the portfolio at the time of such determination. c) Substantially all the fund's net investment income and net realized capital gain, if any, are declared as dividends daily and paid monthly. Net short-term capital gains, if any, will be distributed in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended, and may be reflected in the fund's daily dividends. Substantially all the realized net long-term capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually, except that an additional capital gains distribution may be made in a given year to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of federal excise tax on the fund. d) Expenses incurred by the trust with respect to any two or more funds in the trust are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each fund in the trust, except where allocations of direct expenses to each fund can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. e) The fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes and intends to comply with the provisions of the Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its income, including net realized capital gains, if any, within the prescribed time periods. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. 12 J.P. MORGAN TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) MAY 31, 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- f) For federal income tax purposes, the fund had a capital loss carryforward at November 30, 1999 of $502,327, of which $8,529 expires in 2003, $236,412 expires in 2004 and $257,386 expires in 2007. To the extent that this capital loss is used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders. 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES a) The trust, on behalf of the fund, has retained Funds Distributor, Inc. ("FDI"), a registered broker-dealer, to serve as co-administrator and distributor for the fund. Under a Co-Administration Agreement between FDI and the trust on behalf of the fund, FDI provides administrative services necessary for the operations of the fund, furnishes office space and facilities required for conducting the business of the fund and pays the compensation of the fund's officers affiliated with FDI. The fund 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 fund is based on the ratio of the fund's net assets to the aggregate net assets of the trust and certain other investment companies subject to similar agreements with FDI. For the six months ended May 31, 2000, the fee for these services amounted to $10,224. b) The trust, on behalf of the fund, 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 fund. Under the Services Agreement, the fund 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 the other portfolios in which the trust and the J.P. Morgan Institutional Funds invest (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 fund is determined by the proportionate share its net assets bear to the net assets of the trust, the master portfolios, other investors in the master portfolios for which Morgan provides similar services, and J.P. Morgan Series Trust. For six months ended May 31, 2000, the fee for these services amounted to 217,521. c) The trust, on behalf of the fund, has a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with Morgan to provide account administration and personal account maintenance service to fund shareholders. The agreement provides for the fund to pay Morgan a fee for these services which is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the fund. For the six months ended May 31, 2000, the fee for these services amounted to $2,221,776. Morgan, Charles Schwab & Co. ("Schwab") and the trust are parties to separate services and operating agreements (the "Schwab Agreements") whereby Schwab makes fund shares available to customers of investment advisors and other financial intermediaries who are Schwab's clients. The fund is not responsible for payments to Schwab under the Schwab Agreements; however, in the event the Services Agreement with Schwab is terminated for reasons other than a breach by Schwab and the relationship between the trust and Morgan is terminated, the fund would be responsible for the ongoing payments to Schwab with respect to pre-termination shares. 13 J.P. MORGAN TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) MAY 31, 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- d) The trust, on behalf of the fund, has a Fund Services Agreement with Group, Inc. ("Group") to assist the trustees in exercising their overall supervisory responsibilities for the trust's affairs. The trustees of the trust represent all the existing shareholders of Group. The fund's allocated portion of Group's costs in performing its services amounted to $14,647 for the six months ended May 31, 2000. e) An aggregate annual fee of $75,000 is paid to each trustee for serving as a trustee of the trust, 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 fund's allocated portion of the total fees and expenses. The trust's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer 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 $2,800. 14 The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio Semiannual Report May 31, 2000 (unaudited) (The following pages should be read in conjunction with J.P.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Tax Exempt Money Market Portfolio (the "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 January 29, 1993. The portfolio commenced operations on July 12, 1993. The portfolio's investment objective is to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax and maintain a high level of liquidity.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 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) Investments are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. The amortized cost method of valuation values a security at its cost at the time of purchase and thereafter assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instruments. b) Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. 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. c) 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 cost of securities is substantially the same for book and tax purposes. 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES a) The portfolio has an Investment Advisory Agreement with J. P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM"), an affiliate of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"), and a wholly owned subsidiary of J. P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated ("J. P. Morgan"). Under the terms of the agreement, the portfolio pays JPMIM at an annual rate of 0.20% of the portfolio's average daily net assets up to $1 billion and 0.10% on any excess over $1 billion. For the six months ended May 31, 2000, such fees amounted to $1,658,354. 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.
