THE JENSEN PORTFOLIO
LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
Dear Fellow Investor;
The Portfolio’s 12th fiscal year ended on May 31, 2004. In retrospect, it was an ugly year for our industry due to a few renegade mutual fund operators who enriched themselves at the expense of their shareholders. The Attorney General of New York, Eliot Spitzer, led the initial investigation into these funds’ late trading and market timing practices. It resulted in a host of new regulations that were recently issued by the SEC. Both the House and Senate have passed new legislation affecting mutual funds, hence there is a possibility that more regulations will ensue. Unfortunatel y the new rubric will increase costs for every mutual fund and, ergo, reduce returns.
Jensen Investment Management is committed to following both the spirit and the letter of the new regulations, as we have of the existing ones. Indeed, if we felt that investors had a chance of making higher returns because of increased regulation, we’d be dancing in the street. Investors in mutual funds should be appalled —as most investment managers were — at the breach of fiduciary responsibility by the miscreants. In our opinion, however, the new and proposed regulations to "get after the devils" reveal a basic misunderstanding about mutual funds.
In a strict sense, any mutual fund is purely a holding company. They have no employees, and the investment strategy employed by a fund is the strategy devised for it by its investment manager.
Past market performance—and all too frequently, just last year’s performance—is the primary reason that many mutual funds are selected. Unfortunately, there is little else to excite or interest fund investors. And, professionals and amateur investors alike know the odds of repeating past market performance are coincidental (and astronomical).
Compare, if you will, the mutual fund industry to the computer industry. America’s first mutual fund, Massachusetts Investors Trust, was introduced in 1924. Vannevar Bush built the first analog computer, called a differential analyzer, in 1930. Both enjoy extremely widespread use today: 49 million Americans own some 8,000 different mutual funds. There are untold millions of laptops and desktops in offices and homes across the land.
The computer industry has expended billions of dollars in technological research that has resulted in awesome processing speeds, flat screens, color printers, cell phones, global positioning devices, and much more, all at ever lower prices. (Our first single-function laser printer cost over $6,000. Dell’s recent catalog offers a Multifunction Laser Printer for $399.)
Perhaps no-load or sector funds may be considered worthwhile innovations, but certainly they do not qualify as anything that remotely revolutionized the industry. Actually, Philip Fisher’s approach to security analysis beginning in 1924, Graham and Dodd’s classic work on the subject in 1934, and Warren Buffett’s annual reports are more fundamentally significant for the mutual fund industry than anything else. Put another way, past market performance has nothing to do with future market performance. However, digging into a business and its industry can result in information enabling managers to judge prospective investment risk and reward.
The bottom line is that there is only one reason to own a mutual fund: that is, to obtain professional investment management. The process of choosing a mutual fund should be precisely the same then as anyone else seeking investment counsel. To be sure, past market performance will be a part of the consideration, but more in the light of giving validity to the strategy than the raw market results. Frequently asked questions are: Did the prospective manager’s security selections meet the qualifications of the strategy? To what degree did the prospective investment manager follow that strategy in the past? If not, why not? What issues qualify for the strategy today? What changes in the strategy are being considered? How will a changing economic environment affect the strategy? What about costs? Who are t he personnel that are responsible for executing the strategy? These, as well, are the questions that should be considered by investors considering mutual funds.

THE JENSEN PORTFOLIO
As investment managers, we offer an explicit strategy that is available by owning shares in The Jensen Portfolio. As we practice the use of the strategy, (much as a surgeon doing the same operation over and over again) we strive to enhance it, just as we have in the past. We believe it is the companies in the Portfolio that will make the technological breakthroughs that will create the value for shareholders, while we continue our quest to own great businesses.
Our strategy revolves around owning successful companies. Our definition of success is single minded. Each company that we consider for investment must have reported a 15 percent return on equity (ROE) for each of the past ten years. The entire investment universe is consequently reduced to about 125 companies, and our business analysts follow each one of them. (Fortunately, success begets success. The list changes quite modestly year to year.)
A 15 percent return on equity generates cash flow that belongs to the company’s owners, its shareholders. We examine each company’s accounts to assure that the cash is being used for the benefit of its shareholders by buying back shares, increasing dividends, training employees and acquiring other businesses that complete their product line. Strong cash flow also abets a sound balance sheet, which helps firms withstand the vagaries of the economic cycle.
Mutual funds are not a rocket science. Instead, there is a fiduciary responsibility to perform diligently on behalf of shareholders. Jensen Investment Management is committed to that principle.
PERFORMANCE AND CHANGES IN PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
The Jensen Portfolio — Class J Shares advanced 15.28% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004. Please see page 3 of this report for complete standardized performance information. As discussed in our semi-annual report, during the year we added Patterson Companies (previously named Patterson Dental Supply), McGraw-Hill, and Pepsi Cola to the Portfolio while eliminating Freddie Mac and Jones Apparel. In addition, during the year we sold two companies that were received as the result of spin offs from Portfolio holdings, Medco Health Services (spun off by Merck) and Hospira (spun off by Abbott Laboratories), since these companies did not meet our investment criteria. We appreciate your continued support.
Cordially,
Val Jensen, Chairman
The Jensen Portfolio
The above discussion and analysis of the Fund reflect the opinions of Val Jensen as of May 2004 and are subject to change, and any forecasts made cannot be guaranteed.
Fund holdings and sector weightings are subject to change and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security. For more complete information regarding performance and holdings, please refer to the financial and portfolio headings of this report.
The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it concentrates its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIfiCANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Jensen Portfolio, Inc. (the "Fund") was organized as an Oregon Corporation on April 17, 1992, and is registered as an open-end, nondiversified management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Fund commenced operations on August 3, 1992. Effective July 30, 2003, the Fund issued two new classes of shares, Class R and Class I and renamed the existing class as Class J. Class J shares are subject to a 0.25% 12b-1 fee; Class R shares are subject to a 0.50% 12b-1 fee and Class I shares are subject to a 0.10% shareholder servicing fee, as described in each Class’ prospectus. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the 12b-1 fees and shareholder servicing fee, and voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shar es. The principal investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
a) Investment Valuation - Securities that are listed on United States stock exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market are valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, if there has been no sale on that day, at their current bid price. Quotations are taken from the market in which the security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter securities are valued at their current bid price. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Investment Adviser at or under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors. There were no securities valued by the Board of Directors as of May 31, 2004. Variable rate demand notes are valued at cost which approximates fair value. Notwithstanding the above, fixed-income securities may be valu ed on the basis of prices provided by an established pricing service when the Board believes that such prices better reflect market values.
b) Federal Income Taxes - No provision for federal income taxes has been made since the Fund has complied to date with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and intends to continue to so comply in the future and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and realized capital gains in order to relieve the Fund from all federal income taxes.
c) Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly by the Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Permanent differences between financial reporting and tax are reclassified to capital stock.
d) Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
e) Guarantees and Indemnifications - In the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
f) Other - Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. Gains or losses from the investment transactions are determined on the basis of identified carrying value. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Fund has investments in short-term variable rate demand notes, which are unsecured instruments. These notes may present credit risk to the extent the issuer defaults on its payment obligation. The credit-worthiness of the issuer is monitored, and these notes are considered to present minimal credit risk in the opinion of the Investment Adviser.
| 12 | ||
THE JENSEN PORTFOLIO
Income, expenses (other than those deemed attributable to a specific share class), and gains and losses of the Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of the net assets of the Fund. Expenses deemed directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged against the operations of such class.

To the extent the Fund realizes future net capital gains, taxable distributions to its shareholders will be offset by any unused capital loss carryover.
At May 31, 2004, the Fund deferred on a tax basis to the first day of the next taxable year, a post-October loss of $303,424.
The cost of investments differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales.
The distributions of $4,123,525 and $12,398,062 paid during the years ended May 31, 2003 and May 31, 2004, respectively were classified as ordinary for income tax purposes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of The Jensen Portfolio, Inc
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 The Jensen Portfolio, Inc (the "Fund") at May 31, 2004, 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 its financial highlights for the periods indicated, 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 Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opini on on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and broker, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report. A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s board of directors has determined that it has one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee, Robert E. Harold, CPA (Retired), an independent director of the registrant.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. "Audit services" refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. "Audit-related services" refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. "Tax services" refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The following table details the aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.
| FYE 5/31/2004 | FYE 5/31/2003 | |
| Audit Fees | $21,500 | $16,100 |
| Audit-Related Fees | 0 | 0 |
| Tax Fees | 0 | 0 |
| All Other Fees | 0 | 0 |
The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant. All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.
The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
| Non-Audit Related Fees | FYE 5/31/2004 | FYE 5/31/2003 |
