CITIFUNDS MONEy MARKET FUNDS
Each of the Funds described in this prospectus is a money market fund. Money
market funds must follow strict rules about the quality, maturity and other
features of securities they purchase. The Funds also try to maintain a share
price of $1.00 while paying income to shareholders. However, no money market
fund guarantees that you will receive your money back.

Each Fund has different goals and different investment strategies, and each
offers a different mix of investments. See page for a summary of investment
information for each Fund. For more information, see page . Of course, there is
no assurance that any Fund will achieve its investment goals.

The four Tax Free Funds have similar investment goals and strategies. They
invest primarily in high quality municipal securities and most of the dividends
they pay are exempt from federal and, in certain cases, state income taxes.
These Funds are all non-diversified mutual funds, which means that they may
invest relatively high percentages of their assets in a limited number of
issuers. As a result, these Funds have more risk than broadly diversified money
market funds. See page for more information about risks.

Funds at a Glance

CITIFUNDS CASH RESERVES
This summary briefly describes CitiFunds Cash Reserves and the principal risks
of investing in it. For more information, see "More About the Funds" on page .

FUND GOAL
The Fund's goal is to provide shareholders with liquidity and as high a level
of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital. Of course,
there is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its goal.

MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Cash Reserves invests only in high quality, short-term money market instruments
denominated in U.S. dollars. These include:

o short-term obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies and
instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements for these obligations;

o obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks;

o obligations issued or guaranteed by the governments of Western
Europe, Australia, Japan and Canada; and

o commercial paper and asset backed securities.

The Fund invests at least 25%, and may invest up to 100%, of its assets in bank
obligations, such as certificates of deposit, fixed time deposits and bankers'
acceptances.

Investing in high quality, short-term instruments may result in a lower yield
(the income on your investment) than investing in lower quality or longer-term
instruments.

MAIN RISKS
The principal risks of investing in Cash Reserves are described below. See page
___ for more information about risks.

o The amount of income paid to you by the Fund will go up or down
depending on day-to-day variations in short-term interest rates.

o A major change in interest rates, a default on an investment held by
the Fund or a significant decline in the value of a Fund investment
could cause the value of your investment in the Fund, or its yield,
to decline.

o Non-U.S. securities are subject to additional risks, such as
political, social and economic developments abroad, different kinds
and levels of market and issuer regulations and the different
characteristics of overseas economies and markets. There may be rapid
changes in the value of these securities.

o The Fund concentrates in bank obligations. This means that your
investment in the Fund is susceptible to adverse events affecting the
banking industry. Banks are sensitive to changes in money market and
general economic conditions, as well as to decisions by regulators
that can affect their lending activities and their profitability.

o An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Citibank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency.

o Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at
$1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the
Fund.

WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
You should keep in mind that an investment in Cash Reserves is not a complete
investment program.

You should consider investing in Cash Reserves if:

o You're seeking current income and a stabilized share price.

o You want to be able to convert your investment to cash quickly with
reduced risk to principal.

<PAGE>

o You're seeking higher returns than are usually available from U.S.
Treasury money market funds.

Don't invest in Cash Reserves if:

o You're seeking long term growth of capital or high current income and
you can tolerate daily share price fluctuation.

If you would prefer an investment with dividends taxed at lower rates, consider
the Tax Free Funds.

FUND PERFORMANCE
The following bar chart and table can help you evaluate the risks and potential
rewards of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the
Fund over the last ten calendar years. The table compares the average annual
returns for the Fund over the last ten calendar years to the performance of the
IBC Financial 1st Tier Taxable Money Markets Fund Average. When you consider
this information, please remember that the Fund's past performance is not
necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. For current
yield information, please call 800-625-4554 toll free, or contact your account
representative.

YEAR-BY-YEAR TOTAL RETURNS
This bar chart shows how the Fund's performance has varied from year to year
and gives an indication of the risk of investing in the Fund. The Fund offers
three classes of shares and the chart shows the performance of the Class N
shares. The chart and the related information do not take into account any
sales charges that you may be required to pay upon the sale of shares of other
classes of the Fund but do include reinvestment of dividends. Any sales charges
will reduce your return.

</TABLE>

These fee waivers and reimbursements may be reduced
or terminated at any time.

(1) Except that if your Class A shares were received in exchange for Class A
shares of another CitiFund that were subject to a deferred sales charge,
you may be subject to that deferred sales charge.
(2) Class B shares have a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) which is
deducted from your sale proceeds if you sell your Class B shares within six
years of your original purchase of Class B shares. Your actual CDSC will be
the highest CDSC applicable to any CitiFund from which you have exchanged.
The maximum applicable CDSC expressed as a percentage of offering price is
set forth below:

SALE DURING CDSC ON SHARES BEING SOLD

1st year since purchase 5%
2nd year since purchase 4%
3rd year since purchase 3%
4th year since purchase 3%
5th year since purchase 2%
6th year since purchase 1%
7th year (or later) since purchase None

(3) The Fund invests in securities through an underlying mutual fund. This
table reflects the expenses of both the Fund and Cash Reserves Portfolio,
that underlying fund.

EXAMPLE
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund
to the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of
your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your
investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating expenses as
shown in the table above remain the same, and that the current fee waivers and
reimbursements remain the same. The assumption of a 5% return is required by
the SEC for purposes of this example. It is not a prediction of the Fund's
future performance. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on
these assumptions your costs would be:

CITIFUNDS TAX FREE RESERVES
This summary briefly describes CitiFunds Tax Free Reserves and the principal
risks of investing in it. For more information, see "More About the Funds" on
page .

FUND GOAL
The Fund's goals are to provide its shareholders with high levels of current
income exempt from federal income taxes, preservation of capital and liquidity.
Of course, there is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its goals.

MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

o Under normal market conditions, Tax Free Reserves invests at least
80% of its assets in high quality municipal obligations and in
participation interests in these obligations issued by banks,
insurance companies and other financial institutions. Municipal
obligations are debt securities issued by states, cities and towns
and other political or public entities or agencies or qualifying
issuers. The interest paid on these debt securities is free from
federal income tax.

o The Fund invests more than 25% of its assets in participation
interests in municipal obligations that are secured by bank letters
of credit or guarantees.

o The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in high quality
securities that pay interest that is subject to federal income tax.

Investing in high quality, short-term instruments may result in a lower yield
(the income on your investment) than investing in lower quality or longer-term
instruments.

MAIN RISKS
The principal risks of investing in Tax Free Reserves are described below. See
page for more information about risks.

o The Fund is a non-diversified fund, which means that it may invest a
relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a
limited number of issuers. The Fund also may invest 25% or more of
its assets in issuers located in the same state, that derive income
from similar type projects or that are otherwise related. As a
result, many securities held by the Fund may be adversely affected by
a particular economic, business, regulatory or political event.

o The amount of income paid to you by the Fund will go up or down
depending on day-to-day variations in short-term interest rates.

o The Fund concentrates in participation interests issued by banks and
secured by bank letters of credit or guarantees. This means that your
investment in the Fund is susceptible to adverse events affecting the
banking industry. Banks are sensitive to changes in money market and
general economic conditions, as well as to decisions by regulators
that can affect their lending activities and their profitability.

o An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Citibank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency.

o Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at
$1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the
Fund.

WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
You should keep in mind that an investment in Tax Free Reserves is not a
complete investment program.

You should consider investing in this Fund if:

o You're seeking tax-exempt income from your investment.*

o You're seeking current income and a stabilized share price.

o You want to be able to convert your investment to cash quickly with
reduced risk to principal.

<PAGE>

Don't invest in Tax Free Reserves if:

o You don't need your income to be tax-exempt, or you're investing
through a tax-deferred vehicle--such as an IRA account.

o You're seeking long term growth of capital or high current income and
you can tolerate daily share price fluctuation.

*Some income may be subject to tax. Consult your personal tax adviser.

CITIFUNDS CALIFORNIA TAX FREE RESERVES
This summary briefly describes CitiFunds California Tax Free Reserves and the
principal risks of investing in it. For more information, see "More About the
Funds" on page .

FUND GOAL
The Fund's goals are to provide shareholders with high levels of current income
exempt from both federal and California personal income taxes, preservation of
capital and liquidity. Of course, there is no assurance that the Fund will
achieve its goals.

MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

o Under normal market conditions, California Tax Free Reserves invests
at least 80% of its assets in high quality municipal obligations and
in participation interests in these obligations issued by banks,
insurance companies and other financial institutions. Municipal
obligations are debt securities issued by states, cities and towns
and other political or public entities or agencies or qualifying
issuers. The interest paid on these debt securities is free from
federal income tax.

o Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 65% of its
assets in municipal obligations that pay interest that is exempt from
both federal and California personal income taxes. These may include
obligations of Puerto Rico and other U. S. territories.

o When acceptable California municipal obligations are not available,
the Fund may purchase other municipal obligations. The interest on
these securities may be subject to California personal income taxes.

o The Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in participation
interests in municipal obligations that are secured by bank letters
of credit or guarantees.

o The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in high quality
securities that pay interest that is subject to federal income tax.

Investing in high quality, short-term instruments may result in a lower yield
(the income on your investment) than investing in lower quality or longer-term
instruments.

MAIN RISKS
The principal risks of investing in California Tax Free Reserves are described
below. See page for more information about risks.

o Because the Fund invests a high percentage of its assets in municipal
obligations of issuers located in California, the Fund is more
exposed to events that adversely affect issuers in California. As a
result, this Fund has more risk than a broadly diversified money
market fund.

o Issuers of California municipal obligations experienced severe
financial difficulties in the early 1990's. Although California's
economy has been recovering, there is no assurance that this will
continue. Recent global economic events have begun to adversely
affect the earnings of corporate issuers in California. If California
were to experience economic difficulties again, the value of your
investment in the Fund could decline. The Fund also could have
difficulty in finding high quality California municipal obligations
available for investment. This could cause the amount of the Fund's
income that is subject to California tax to increase. Because many
municipal issuers depend on real estate as a source of revenue,
dislocations in the real estate market may cause the Fund similar
problems, as could any legislative initiatives resulting in the
reduction of state revenues or allocations of them to local
governments.

o The amount of income paid to you by the Fund will go up or down
depending on day-to-day variations in short-term interest rates.

o A major change in interest rates, a default on an investment held by
the Fund, or a significant decline in the value of a Fund investment
could cause the value of your investment in the Fund, or its yield,
to decline.

<PAGE>

o The Fund may concentrate in participation interests issued by banks
and secured by bank letters of credit or guarantees. This means that
your investment in the Fund may be susceptible to adverse events
affecting the banking industry. Banks are sensitive to changes in
money market and general economic conditions, as well as to decisions
by regulations that can affect their ending activities and their
profitability.

o An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Citibank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency.

CITIFUNDS CONNECTICUT TAX FREE RESERVES
This summary briefly describes CitiFunds Connecticut Tax Free Reserves and the
principal risks of investing in it. For more information, see "More About the
Funds" on page .

FUND GOAL
The Fund's goals are to provide its shareholders with high levels of current
income exempt from both federal and Connecticut personal income taxes,
preservation of capital and liquidity. Of course, there is no assurance that
the Fund will achieve its goals.

MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES:

o Under normal market conditions, Connecticut Tax Free Reserves invests
at least 80% of its assets in high quality municipal obligations and
in participation interests in these obligations issued by banks,
insurance companies and other financial institutions. Municipal
obligations are debt securities issued by states, cities and towns
and other political or public entities or agencies or qualifying
issuers. The interest paid on these debt securities is free from
federal income tax.

o Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 65% of its
assets in municipal obligations that pay interest that is exempt from
both federal and Connecticut personal income taxes. These may include
obligations of Puerto Rico and other U. S. territories.

o When acceptable Connecticut municipal obligations are not available,
the Fund may purchase other municipal obligations. The interest on
these securities may be subject to Connecticut personal income taxes.

o The Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in participation
interests in municipal obligations that are secured by bank letters
of credit or guarantees.

o The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in high quality
securities that pay interest that is subject to federal income tax.

Investing in high quality, short-term instruments may result in a lower yield
(the income on your investment) than investing in lower quality or longer-term
instruments.

MAIN RISKS
The principal risks of investing in Connecticut Tax Free Reserves are described
below. See page for more information about risks.

o Because the Fund invests a high percentage of its assets in municipal
obligations of issuers located in Connecticut, the Fund is more
exposed to events that adversely affect issuers in Connecticut. As a
result, this Fund has more risk than a broadly diversified money
market fund.

o In the early 1990's, some rating agencies downgraded Connecticut's
general obligation bonds because of recurring budgetary problems.
Other downgrades have occurred since that time. If similar events
were to occur again, the value of your investment in the Fund could
decline. The Fund also could have difficulty in finding high quality
Connecticut municipal obligations available for investment. This
could cause the amount of the Fund's income that is subject to
Connecticut tax to increase. Because many municipal issuers depend on
real estate as a source of revenue, dislocations in the real estate
market may cause the Fund similar problems, as could any legislative
initiatives resulting in the reduction of state revenues or
allocations of them to local governments.

o The amount of income paid to you by the Fund will go up or down
depending on day-to-day variations in short-term interest rates.

o A major change in interest rates, a default on an investment held by
the Fund, or a significant decline in the market value of a Fund
investment could cause the value of your investment in the Fund, or
its yield, to decline.

o The Fund may concentrate in participation interests issued by banks
and secured by bank letters of credit or guarantees. This means that
your investment in the Fund may be particularly susceptible to events

<PAGE>

affecting the banking industry. Banks are sensitive to changes in
money market and general economic conditions, as well as to decisions
by regulators that can affect their lending activities and their
profitability.

o An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Citibank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
any other government agency.

o Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at
$1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the
Fund.

WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
You should keep in mind that an investment in Connecticut Tax Free Reserves is
not a complete investment program and should be considered just one part of
your total investment program.

o You should consider investing in this Fund if:

o You're seeking tax-exempt income from your investment.*

o You're seeking current income and a stabilized share price.

o You want to be able to convert your investment to cash quickly with
reduced risk to principal.

o Your income is subject to Connecticut personal income tax.

Don't invest in Connecticut Tax Free Reserves if:

o You don't need your income to be tax-exempt, or you're investing
through a tax-deferred vehicle--such as an IRA account.

o You're seeking long-term growth of capital or high current income and
you can tolerate daily share price fluctuation.

*Some income may be subject to tax. Consult your personal tax adviser.

CITIFUNDS NEW YORK TAX FREE RESERVES
This summary briefly describes CitiFunds New York Tax Free Reserves and the
principal risks of investing in it. For more information, see "More About the
Funds" on page .

FUND GOAL
The Fund's goals are to provide its shareholders with high levels of current
income exempt from federal, New York State and New York City personal income
taxes, preservation of capital and liquidity. Of course, there is no assurance
that the Fund will achieve its goals.

MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

o Under normal market conditions, New York Tax Free Reserves invests at
least 80% of its assets in high quality municipal obligations and in
participation interests in these obligations issued by banks,
insurance companies and other financial institutions. Municipal
obligations are debt securities issued by states, cities and towns
and other political or public entities or agencies or qualifying
issuers. The interest paid on these debt securities is free from
federal income tax.

o Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 65% of its
assets in municipal obligations that pay interest that is exempt from
federal, New York State and New York City personal income taxes.
These may include obligations of Puerto Rico and other U. S.
territories.

o When acceptable New York municipal obligations are not available, the
Fund may purchase other municipal obligations. The interest on these
securities may be subject to New York personal income taxes.

o The Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in participation
interests in municipal obligations that are secured by bank letters
of credit or guarantees.

o The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in high quality
securities that pay interest that is subject to federal income tax.

Investing in high quality, short-term instruments may result in a lower yield
(the income on your investment) than investing in lower quality or longer-term
instruments.

MAIN RISKS
The principal risks of investing in New York Tax Free Reserves are described
below. See page for more information about risks.

o Because the Fund invests a high percentage of its assets in municipal
obligations of issuers located in New York, the Fund is more exposed
to events that adversely affect issuers in New York. As a result,
this Fund has more risk than a broadly diversified money market fund.

o New York State and other issuers of New York municipal obligations
have experienced financial difficulties over the past several years.
Although the New York economy has improved more recently, there is no
assurance that this will continue. Recent global economic events have
begun to adversely affect the earnings of corporate issuers in New
York. If New York were to experience economic difficulties again, the
value of your investment in the Fund could decline. In addition, the
Fund also could have difficulty in finding high quality New York
municipal obligations available for investment. This could cause the
amount of the Fund's income that is subject to New York taxes to
increase.

o The amount of income paid to you by the Fund will go up or down
depending on day-to-day variations in short-term interest rates.

o The Fund may concentrate in participation interests issued by banks
and secured by bank letters of credit or guarantees. This means that

YOUR CITIFUNDS ACCOUNT

HOW TO BUY SHARES
Shares of the Funds are offered continuously and purchases may be made Monday
through Friday, except on certain holidays. Shares may be purchased from the
Funds' distributor or a broker-dealer or financial institution that has an
agreement with the distributor. You must be a customer of a Shareholder
Servicing Agent to purchase shares. Shareholder Servicing Agents are financial
institutions that have entered into shareholder servicing agreements concerning
the Funds. You pay no sales charge (load) to invest in the Funds except that,
as described below, certain shareholders in Cash Reserves may pay a sales
charge when they sell their shares. Each Fund and its distributor have the
right to reject any purchase order or cease offering Fund shares at any time.

Shares are purchased at net asset value (normally $1.00 per share) the next
time it is calculated after your order is received and accepted by the
distributor. NAV is the value of a single share of a Fund.

Your Shareholder Servicing Agent will establish and maintain your account and
is the shareholder of record. The Shareholder Servicing Agent may establish its
own terms, conditions and charges (such as minimum investments, fixed annual
fees or account maintenance fees) and may offer you a variety of services, such
as automatic purchase and redemption programs, at an additional charge. These
charges, if imposed, would reduce your net return on an investment in a Fund.

Your Shareholder Servicing Agent will not transmit your purchase order for Fund
shares until it receives the purchase price in federal or other immediately
available funds. If you pay by check, the Shareholder Servicing Agent transmits
the order when the check clears, usually within two business days.

The Fund's distributor may make payments for distribution and/or shareholder
servicing activities out of its past profits and other available sources. The
distributor may also make payments for marketing, promotional or related
expenses to dealers. The amount of these payments are determined by the
distributor and may vary. Citibank may make similar payments under similar
arrangements.

HOW THE PRICE OF YOUR SHARES IS CALCULATED
Every day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading (at 3:00 p.m. Eastern
time for Cash Reserves and 12:00 noon Eastern time for the other funds), each
Fund calculates its net asset value (NAV). On days when the financial markets
in which the Funds invest close early, NAV will be calculated as of the close
of those markets. The Funds' securities are valued at amortized cost, which is
approximately equal to market value.

HOW TO SELL SHARES
You may sell your shares on any business day at the NAV (normally $1.00 per
share) next determined after your redemption request has been received by your
Agent. Shares are sold without a sales charge, except that, as described below,
certain shareholders in Cash Reserves may pay a sales charge when they sell
their shares. You may contact your Shareholder Servicing Agent in writing or,
if your Shareholder Servicing Agent permits, by telephone. All redemption
requests must be in proper form, as determined by your Shareholder Servicing
Agent.

You will receive your redemption proceeds in federal funds normally on the day
on which you sell your shares but in any event within seven days. Your
redemption proceeds may be delayed for up to ten days if your purchase was made
by check. Your redemption proceeds may also be delayed, or your right to
receive redemption proceeds suspended, if the New York Stock Exchange is closed
(other than on weekends or holidays) or trading is restricted, or if an
emergency exists. Each Fund has the right to pay your redemption proceeds by
giving you securities instead of cash. In that case, you may incur costs (such
as brokerage commissions) converting the securities into cash. You should be
aware that you may have to pay taxes on your redemption proceeds.

EXCHANGES
You may exchange Fund shares for those of another Fund. You also may be able to
exchange your Fund shares for certain other funds managed or advised by
Citibank which are made available by your Shareholder Servicing Agent. Your
Shareholder Servicing Agent can provide you with more information, including a
prospectus for any fund to be acquired through an exchange. If your account
application allows, you may arrange the exchange by telephone. The exchange
will be based on the relative NAVs of both funds next determined after the
order is accepted by the Funds' distributor, but if the fund into which you
wish to exchange has a sales charge, you may be required to pay the charge in
order to make the exchange. You cannot exchange shares until the Fund has
received payment in federal funds for your shares. This exchange privilege may
be changed or terminated at any time with at least 60 days' notice, when notice
is required by applicable rules and regulations. You should be aware that you
may have to pay taxes on your exchange.

<PAGE>

DIVIDENDS
Each business day when the Funds determine NAV, they calculate each Fund's net
income and declare dividends for all shareholders of record. Shares begin to
accrue dividends on the day they are purchased. You will not receive dividends
for the day on which you redeem your shares. Dividends are distributed once a
month, on or before the last business day of the month. Unless you choose to
receive your dividends in cash, you will receive them as full and fractional
additional Fund shares.

RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
Your Shareholder Servicing Agent can advise you about how investments in Cash
Reserves and U.S. Treasury Reserves may be incorporated into your retirement
plan.

CLASSES OF SHARES OF CASH RESERVES
Cash Reserves offers three classes of shares, Class A, Class B and Class N.
Each class has different eligibility requirements and its own combination
of charges and fees. Class N, which has no sales charges and has the lowest
annual expenses, is the share class generally available for new investments.
Class A and Class B shares are available only by exchange from the Class A or
B shares of another CitiFund. Class A and Class B shares may be convenient
for shareholders seeking a temporary investment before investing in another
fund in the CitiFunds family.

CLASS A SHARES

|| If you own Class A shares of another CitiFund and are exchanging those
shares for shares in Cash Reserves, you must exchange those shares for
Class A shares in Cash Reserves. Class A shares may only be purchased by
exchange of Class A shares of another CitiFund.

|| There is no fee or sales charge when you purchase Class A shares, and
there is no fee or charge when you sell your shares. However, under
certain limited circumstances, if you exchanged Class A shares of another
CitiFund into Class A shares of Cash Reserves and those other Class A
shares were subject to a deferred sales charge, you may be required to pay
that charge when you sell your shares in Cash Reserves.

|| If you own Class A shares, your fund expenses will include an annual
distribution fee of up to .20%. This fee compensates the distributor for
its marketing activities and expenses.

CLASS B SHARES

|| If you own Class B shares of another CitiFund and want to exchange those
shares for shares in Cash Reserves, you must exchange them for Class B
shares of Cash Reserves. Class B shares may only be purchased by exchange
of Class B shares of another CitiFund.

|| There is no fee when you purchase Class B shares, but if you sell your
shares within six years of purchase, you may pay a deferred sales charge
when you sell your shares. This contingent deferred sales charge, called a
CDSC, is based on the CDSC applicable to the Class B shares of the
CitiFund that you owned before exchanging into Cash Reserves. If you have
exchanged your Class B shares more than once, you will be charged the
highest CDSC applicable to your shares. The CDSC is based on either the
original purchase price or what you sell your shares for, whichever is
less. The CDSC is a maximum of 5% if you sell your shares within the first
year of purchase, and is reduced to 1% if you sell your shares after six
years. The amount of time that you owned Class B shares of another
CitiFund before you exchanged them for Class B shares in Cash Reserves
will be counted to determine the amount of sales charge that you owe. You
do not pay a CDSC on any Class B shares you receive by reinvesting
dividends. To ensure that you pay the lowest CDSC possible, the Fund will
always use the Class B shares with the lowest CDSC possible to fill your
sell requests. You may be eligible for a waiver of the CDSC when you sell
your shares. For more information about waivers, contact[ ] or request a
copy of the Funds' Statement of Additional Information.

|| If you own Class B shares, your fund expenses include an annual
distribution and service fee of up to 0.75%. The distribution fee
compensates the distributor for paying your financial adviser an
up-front sales commission on your original purchase of Class B shares,
that could be as high as 4.00%. The service fee compensates your
financial adviser for providing ongoing services to you. The distributor
will also advance the first year service fee to your financial adviser.
As a result, the total amount paid to your financial adviser upon your
original purchase of Class B shares may be a maximum of 4.25% of the
purchase price.

|| Your Class B shares of Cash Reserves will convert automatically into Class
A shares of Cash Reserves approximately 8 years after your original
purchase of the Class B shares, reducing future annual expenses. Class A
shares have lower distribution fees than Class B shares.

CLASS N SHARES

o Class N shares are available to all investors purchasing fund shares
directly and not through exchange.

o If you purchased your shares in Cash Reserves prior to January 4,
1999, your shares have become Class N shares.

o There is no fee or sales charge when you purchase Class N shares, and
there is no fee or charge when you sell your shares. If you own Class
N shares, your fund expenses will include a maximum annual
distribution fee of .20%. This fee compensates the distributor for
its marketing activities and expenses.

TAX MATTERS
This discussion of taxes is for general information only. You should consult
your own tax adviser about your particular situation.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: With respect to Cash Reserves and U.S. Treasury Reserves,
shareholders are required to pay federal income tax on any dividends and other
distributions received. Generally, distributions from a Fund's net investment
income and short-term capital gains will be taxed as ordinary income.
Distributions from long-term net capital gains will be taxed as such regardless
of how long the shares of a Fund have been held. Dividends and distributions
are treated in the same manner for federal tax purposes whether they are paid
in cash or as additional shares. Distributions derived from interest on U.S.
Government obligations may be exempt from certain state and local taxes.

With respect to the Tax Free Funds, each Fund expects that most of its net
income will be attributable to interest on municipal obligations and as a
result most of each Fund's dividends to shareholders will be excludable from
shareholders' gross income. However, each Fund may invest from time to time in
taxable securities, and certain Fund dividends may be subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax. It is also possible, but not intended, that a Fund may
realize short-term or long-term capital gains or losses. Generally,
distributions from a Fund's short-term capital gains will be taxed as ordinary
income, and distributions from long-term net capital gains will be taxed as
such regardless of how long the shares of the Fund have been held. Dividends
and distributions are treated in the same manner for federal tax purposes
whether they are paid in cash or as additional shares.

If you sell your shares of a Fund, or exchange them for shares of another Fund,
you generally will be subject to tax on any taxable gain. Your taxable gain is
computed by subtracting your tax basis in the shares from the redemption
proceeds (in the case of a sale) or the value of the shares received (in the
case of an exchange).

Fund dividends of tax-exempt income are taken into account in determining the
amount of a shareholder's social security and railroad retirement benefits that
may be subject to federal income tax. No deduction may be claimed for interest
on indebtedness incurred or continued for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
Fund shares. Investors who are, or who are related to, "substantial users" of
facilities financed by private activity bonds should consult their tax advisers
before buying Fund shares.

The account application asks each new investor to certify that the investor's
Social Security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that the
shareholder is not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report
income to the IRS. A Fund may be required to withhold (and pay over to the IRS
for the shareholder's credit) 31% of certain distributions paid to investors
who fail to provide this information or otherwise violate IRS regulations.

STATE AND LOCAL TAXES: Except as noted below, Fund dividends that are
excludable from shareholders' gross income for federal income tax purposes may
not necessarily be exempt from the income or other tax laws of any state or
local taxing authority. You should consult your own tax adviser in this regard.

CALIFORNIA TAX FREE RESERVES: Under existing California law, as long as at the
end of each quarter of the Fund's fiscal year the Fund continues to qualify for
the special federal income tax treatment afforded regulated investment
companies and at least 50% of the value of the Fund's assets consists of
California municipal obligations, shareholders of the Fund will be able to
exclude from income, for California personal income tax purposes, dividends
received from the Fund which are derived from income (less related expenses)
from the California municipal obligations of the Fund. These dividends must be
designated as such by the Fund by written notice to shareholders within 60 days
after the close of that fiscal year.

The foregoing description is a general, abbreviated summary that relates solely
to the taxation of shareholders subject to California personal income tax.
Accordingly, potential investors, including, in particular, investors who may
be subject to California corporate franchise tax or California corporate income
tax, should consult with their own tax advisers.

CONNECTICUT TAX FREE RESERVES: Under existing law, the Fund expects that
shareholders will not be subject to the Connecticut personal income tax on
exempt-interest dividends received from the Fund to the extent that such
distributions are derived from interest on Connecticut municipal obligations.
Capital-gain dividends derived from Connecticut municipal obligations other
than obligations of U.S. territories or possessions and their political
subdivisions are also free from this tax. Other distributions from the Fund,

<PAGE>

including exempt-interest dividends attributable to obligations of issuers in
other states, other long-term capital gains and all short-term capital gains,
will not be exempt from the Connecticut personal income tax. Moreover,
distributions by the Fund derived from interest income, other than interest on
Connecticut municipal obligations, that are treated as a preference item for
federal income tax purposes may be subject to the net Connecticut minimum tax
in the case of any shareholder subject to the Connecticut personal income tax
and required to pay the federal alternative minimum tax.

NEW YORK TAX FREE RESERVES: To the extent that dividends received from the Fund
are derived from interest on New York Municipal Obligations, the dividends will
also be excluded from the gross income of individual shareholders who are New
York residents for New York State and New York City personal income tax
purposes. Dividends from the Fund are not excluded in determining New York
State or New York City franchise taxes on corporations and financial
institutions.

FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS: Each Fund will withhold U.S. federal income tax payments
at the rate of 30% (or any lower applicable treaty rate) on taxable dividends
and other payments subject to withholding taxes that are made to persons who
are not citizens or residents of the United States. Distributions received from
a Fund by non-U.S. persons also may be subject to tax under the laws of their
own jurisdictions.

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS

INVESTMENT ADVISER
Each Fund draws on the strength and experience of Citibank. Citibank is the
investment adviser of each Fund, and subject to policies set by the Funds'
Trustees, Citibank makes investment decisions. Citibank, 153 East 53rd Street,
New York, New York, has been managing money since 1822. With its affiliates, it
currently manages more than $290 billion in assets worldwide. Citibank is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Citicorp, which is, in turn, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. Citigroup Inc. was formed as a result of the
merger of Citicorp and Travelers Group, Inc., which was completed on October 8,
1998. "CitiFunds" is a service mark of Citicorp.

Although Citibank and its affiliates may have banking (including investment
banking) relationships with the issuers of securities that are held in the
Funds, in making investment decisions for the Funds, Citibank does not obtain
or use material inside information acquired by any division, department or
affiliate of Citibank in the course of those relationships. Citibank and its
affiliates may have loans outstanding that are repaid with proceeds of
securities purchased by the Funds.

ADVISORY FEES
For the services it provided under the investment advisory agreements for the
Funds, for the Funds' fiscal year ended August 31, 1998 Citibank received the
following fees:

FEE, AS PERCENTAGE OF AVERAGE
FUND DAILY NET ASSETS, AFTER WAIVER

CASH RESERVES 0.07%
U.S. TREASURY RESERVES 0.06%
TAX FREE RESERVES 0.20%
CALIFORNIA TAX FREE RESERVES 0.16%
CONNECTICUT TAX FREE RESERVES 0.16%
NEW YORK TAX FREE RESERVES 0.16%

DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS
The Funds, except for certain classes of Cash Reserves, do not charge any sales
loads, deferred sales loads or other fees in connection with the purchase of
shares. See "Classes of Shares of Cash Reserves" for a description of the
deferred sales loads applicable to those shares.

The Funds have adopted distribution plans under rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. These plans, except for the plan adopted for the Class A
and Class B shares of Cash Reserves, allow each Fund to use up to 0.10% per
year of its average daily net assets to compensate the Funds' distributor for
its distribution activities. The distributor uses the fees to offset Fund
marketing costs, including advertising and other promotional activities, and to
pay its own costs related to distribution activities, including employee
salaries and bonuses. The distributor currently waives a portion of these fees
on a voluntary basis. This fee waiver may be terminated or reduced at any time.
The plans also allow each Fund to pay up to an additional 0.10% per year of its
average daily net assets in anticipation of or as reimbursement for certain
advertising expenses. The Funds did not pay any of these additional advertising
expenses during their last fiscal year, and do not anticipate doing so during
the current fiscal year. Because fees under the plans are paid out of Fund
assets, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may
cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

The Distribution Plan for Cash Reserves provides that Class A shares pay a
distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.20% per year of the average
daily net assets of the Class A shares, and Class B shares pay a distribution
and service fee at an annual rate of up to 0.75% of the average net assets

<PAGE>

of the class. These fees are used to compensate the distributor for marketing
costs and activities, and your financial adviser for providing ongoing services
to you.

INVESTMENT STRUCTURE
Cash Reserves, U.S. Treasury Reserves and Tax Free Reserves each invest in
securities through an underlying mutual fund having the same goals and
strategies. California Tax Free Reserves, Connecticut Tax Free Reserves and New
York Tax Free Reserves may use this investment structure in the future, but New
York Tax Free Reserves will do so only if Fund shareholders agree. Each Fund
may stop investing in its corresponding underlying fund at any time, and will
do so if the Fund's Trustees believe that to be in the shareholders' best
interests. The Fund could then invest in another mutual fund or pooled
investment vehicle, or could invest directly in securities.

MORE ABOUT THE FUNDS

The Funds' goals, principal investments and risks are summarized in Funds at a
Glance. More information on investments, investment strategies and risks
appears below.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Funds' principal investment strategies are the strategies that, in the
opinion of Citibank, are most likely to be important in trying to achieve each
Fund's investment goals. Of course, there can be no assurance that any Fund
will achieve its goals. Please note that each Fund may also use strategies and
invest in securities that are not described below but that are described in the
Statement of Additional Information.

Each Fund has specific investment policies and procedures designed to maintain
a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share. Each Fund also complies with
industry regulations that apply to money market funds. These regulations
require that each Fund's investments mature or be deemed to mature within 397
days from the date purchased and that the average maturity of each Fund's
investments (on a dollar-weighted basis) be 90 days or less. In addition, all
of the Funds' investments must be in U.S. dollar-denominated high quality
securities which have been determined by Citibank to present minimal credit
risks. To be high quality, a security (or its issuer) must be rated in one of
the two highest short-term rating categories by nationally recognized rating
agencies, such as Moody's or Standard & Poor's, or, in Citibank's opinion, be
of comparable quality. Investors should note that within these two rating
categories there may be sub-categories or gradations indicating relative
quality. Investments in high quality, short-term securities may result in a
lower yield than would be available from investments in lower quality or longer
term securities.

WHAT ARE MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS?
A money market instrument is a short-term IOU issued by banks or other
corporations, or the U.S. or a foreign government and state or local
governments. Money market instruments have maturity dates of 13 months or less.
Money market instruments may include CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT, BANKERS'
ACCEPTANCES, VARIABLE RATE DEMAND NOTES (where the interest rate is reset
periodically and the holder may demand payment from the issuer at any time),
FIXED-TERM OBLIGATIONS, COMMERCIAL PAPER (short term unsecured debt of
corporations), ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES (which are backed by pools of accounts
receivable such as car installment loans or credit card receivables) and
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the seller sells a security
and the buyer agrees to buy it back at a later date (usually within seven days)
and at a higher price, which reflects an agreed upon interest rate.

CASH RESERVES invests in high quality U.S. dollar-denominated money market
instruments of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. These obligations include U.S.
government obligations, obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks, obligations
issued or guaranteed by the governments of Western Europe, Australia, Japan and
Canada, commercial paper, asset backed securities and repurchase agreements.
The Fund's U.S. government obligations may include U.S. Treasury bills, bonds
and notes and obligations of U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities
that may, but need not, be backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States. The Fund concentrates in bank obligations, including certificates of
deposit, fixed time deposits and bankers' acceptances. This means that the Fund
invests at least 25% of its assets in bank obligations, and the Fund may invest
up to all of its assets in bank obligations. Except for this concentration
policy, the Fund's investment goals and policies may be changed without a
shareholder vote.

Cash Reserves invests only in "first tier" securities, which are securities
rated in the highest short-term rating category by nationally recognized rating
agencies or, in Citibank's opinion, of comparable quality.

U.S. TREASURY RESERVES invests in U.S. Treasury bills, bonds, notes and
receipts. Treasury receipts are interest coupons on other U.S. Treasury
obligations. This Fund may also invest in short-term obligations of U.S.
government agencies and instrumentalities, but only if the obligations are
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Unlike most other
money market funds and many U.S. Treasury money market funds, the Fund does not
invest in repurchase agreements. The Fund's investment goals and policies may
be changed without a shareholder vote. ALTHOUGH THE FUND INVESTS IN U.S.
GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS, AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND IS NEITHER INSURED NOR
GUARANTEED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

<PAGE>

THE FOUR TAX FREE FUNDS invest primarily in high quality municipal obligations,
including municipal money market instruments, and in participation interests in
municipal obligations.

WHAT ARE MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS?
Municipal obligations are fixed and variable rate obligations issued by or on
behalf of states and municipal governments, Puerto Rico and other U.S.
territories, and their authorities, agencies, instrumentalities and political
subdivisions, and by other qualifying issuers. The interest on these
obligations is exempt from federal income tax.

Longer term municipal obligations (municipal bonds) generally are issued to
raise funds for construction or to retire previous debt. Short term obligations
(municipal notes or commercial paper) may be issued to finance short term cash
needs in anticipation of receipt of tax and other revenues. Under normal market
conditions, these Funds invest at least 80% of their assets in municipal
obligations and participation interests. These policies cannot be changed
without a shareholder vote.

Municipal obligations bought by the Funds must be rated in the highest two
rating categories of nationally recognized rating agencies or determined by
Citibank to be of comparable quality. If the credit quality of a municipal
obligation deteriorates after a Fund buys it, Citibank will decide whether the
security should be held or sold.

The Tax Free Funds invest in both "general obligation" securities, which are
backed by the full faith, credit and taxing power of the issuer, and in
"revenue" securities, which are payable only from revenues from a specific
project or another revenue source. The Funds also invest in private activity
bonds, which fund privately operated industrial facilities. Payment on these
bonds generally is made from payments by the operators of the facilities and is
not backed by the taxing authority of the issuing municipality. The Funds
invest in municipal lease obligations, which are undivided interests issued by
a state or municipality in a lease or installment purchase which generally
relates to equipment or facilities. In some cases payments under municipal
leases do not have to be made unless money is specifically approved for that
purpose by an appropriate legislative body.

The Funds may purchase municipal obligations under arrangements (called stand-
by commitments) where they can sell the securities at an agreed-upon price and
date under certain circumstances, and under arrangements (called when-issued or
forward-delivery basis) where the securities will not be delivered immediately.
The Funds will set aside the assets to pay for these securities at the time of
the agreement.

Tax Free Reserves will, and the other Tax Free Funds may, concentrate in
participation interests issued by banks and other financial institutions and
secured by bank letters of credit or guarantees. This means that Tax Free
Reserves will, and the other Tax Free Funds may, invest more than 25% of their
assets in participation interests backed by banks. In a participation interest,
the bank sells undivided interests in a municipal obligation it owns. These
interests may be supported by a bank letter of credit or guarantee. The
interest rate generally is adjusted periodically, and the holder can sell back
to the issuer after a specified notice period. If interest rates rise or fall,
the rates on participation interests and other variable rate instruments
generally will be readjusted. As a result, these instruments do not offer the
same opportunity for capital appreciation or loss as fixed rate instruments.

Under normal market conditions, California Tax Free Reserves, Connecticut Tax
Free Reserves and New York Tax Free Reserves invest at least 65% of their
assets in municipal obligations that pay interest that is exempt from
California, Connecticut and New York taxes, respectively. When acceptable
municipal obligations of this type are not available, the Funds may invest in
municipal obligations that are not free from these state taxes. This would
cause the amount of each Fund's income that is subject to state tax to
increase.

Each Tax Free Fund may also invest in taxable money market instruments,
particularly if the after-tax return on those securities is greater than the
return on municipal money market instruments. The Funds' taxable investments
will be comparable in quality to their municipal investments. Under normal
circumstances, not more than 20% of a Tax Free Fund's assets are invested in
taxable instruments. Except for its policy to invest in municipal obligations,
each Tax Free Fund's investment goals and policies may be changed without a
shareholder vote.

DEFENSIVE STRATEGIES. The Tax Free Funds may, from time to time, take temporary
defensive positions that are inconsistent with the Funds' principal investment
strategies in attempting to respond to adverse market, political or other
conditions. When doing so, the Funds may invest without limit in high quality
taxable money market instruments, and may not be pursuing their investment
objectives.

INVESTMENT STRUCTURE. Cash Reserves, U.S. Treasury Reserves and Tax Free
Reserves each invest in securities through an underlying mutual fund having the
same goals and strategies. The other Funds may use this structure in the
future. New York Tax Free Reserves will do so only if its shareholders agree.

MANAGEMENT STYLE. Managers of mutual funds use different styles when selecting
securities to purchase. Citibank's portfolio managers use a "top-down" approach

<PAGE>

when selecting securities for these funds. When using a "top-down" approach,
the portfolio manager looks first at broad economic factors and market
conditions, such as prevailing and anticipated interest rates. On the basis of
those factors and conditions, the manager selects optimal interest rates and
chooses certain sectors or industries within the overall market. The manager
then looks at individual companies within those sectors or industries to select
securities for the investment portfolio.

RISKS
Investing in a mutual fund involves risk, including the risk that you may
receive little or no return on your investment or even that you may lose part
or all of your investment. Before investing, you should consider the risks you
will assume. Certain of these risks are described below.

The risks of investing in each Fund vary depending on the securities it holds
and the investment practices it uses. Please remember that an investment in the
Funds is not a deposit of Citibank and is not insured or guaranteed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although
each Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it
is possible to lose money by investing in the Funds.

INTEREST RATE RISK. The Funds invest in short term money market instruments. As
a result, the amount of income paid to you by the Fund will go up or down
depending on day-to-day variations in short term interest rates. A major change
in interest rates could cause the value of your investment in the Fund to
decline.

CREDIT RISK. The Funds invest in high quality debt securities, meaning
securities that are rated, when the Funds buy them, in one of the two highest
short term rating categories by nationally recognized rating agencies or, in
Citibank's opinion, are of comparable quality. However, it is possible that
some issuers will be unable to make the required payments on debt securities
held by the Funds. Debt securities also fluctuate in value based on perceived
creditworthiness of issuers. A default on an investment held by a Fund, or a
significant decline in the value of a Fund investment, could cause the value of
your investment in the Fund to decline.

NON-U.S. SECURITIES. Investors in Cash Reserves should be aware that
investments in non-U.S. securities involve risks relating to political, social
and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from the
differences between the regulations to which U.S. and non-U.S. issuers and
markets are subject. These risks may include expropriation of assets,
confiscatory taxation, withholding taxes on dividends and interest paid on fund
investments, currency exchange controls and other limitations on the use or
transfer of fund assets and political or social instability. In addition,
non-U.S. companies may not be subject to accounting standards or governmental
supervision comparable to U.S. companies, and there may be less public
information about their operations. Non-U.S. markets may be less liquid and
more volatile than U.S. markets. As a result, there may be rapid changes in the
value of non-U.S. securities. Non-U.S. markets also may offer less protection
to investors such as the Fund.

NON-DIVERSIFIED STATUS. Each of the Tax Free Funds is a non-diversified mutual
fund. This means that these Funds may invest a relatively high percentage of
their assets in the obligations of a limited number of issuers. Each Tax Free
Fund also may invest 25% or more of its assets in securities the issuers of
which are located in the same state, that derive interest from similar type
projects or that are otherwise related. As a result, many securities held by a
Fund may be adversely affected by a particular single economic, business,
regulatory or political event. You should consider the greater risk inherent in
these policies when compared with a more diversified mutual fund.

CONCENTRATION. Cash Reserves concentrates in bank obligations . Tax Free
Reserves will, and each of the other Tax Free Funds may, concentrate in
participation interests issued by banks and secured by bank letters of credit
or guarantees. This means that an investment in Cash Reserves and an investment
in Tax Free Reserves are, and an investment in the other Tax Free Funds may be,
particularly susceptible to events affecting the banking industry. Banks are
highly regulated. Decisions by regulators may limit the loans banks make and
the interest rates and fees they charge, and may reduce bank profitability.
Bank also depend on being able to obtain funds at reasonable costs to finance
their lending operations. This makes them sensitive to changes in money market
and general economic conditions. When a bank's borrowers get in financial
trouble, their failure to repay the bank will also affect the bank's financial
situation.

RISKS AFFECTING INVESTMENTS IN STATE MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS. California Tax Free
Reserves, Connecticut Tax Free Reserves and New York Tax Free Reserves invest a
high percentage of their assets in municipal obligations of issuers in
California, Connecticut and New York, respectively. As a result, these Funds
are more exposed to events that adversely affect issuers in those states, and
these Funds have more risk than broadly diversified money market funds.

You should be aware of special economic factors affecting California,
Connecticut and New York before investing. These factors are summarized in
FUNDS AT A GLANCE for California Tax Free Reserves, Connecticut Tax Free
Reserves and New York Tax Free Reserves. The Funds have obtained this
information from the issuers of California, Connecticut and New York municipal
obligations, and are not responsible for its accuracy or timeliness.

<PAGE>

YEAR 2000. The Funds could be adversely affected if the computer systems used
by the Funds or their service providers are not programmed to process
information accurately on or after January 1, 2000. The Funds, and their
service providers, are making efforts to resolve any potential Year 2000
problems. While it is likely these efforts will be successful, the failure to
implement any necessary modifications could have an adverse impact on the
Funds. The Funds also could be adversely affected if the issuers of securities
held by the Funds do not solve their Year 2000 problems, or if it costs them
large amounts of money to solve these problems.

$1.00 NET ASSET VALUE. In order to maintain a $1.00 per share net asset value,
a Fund could reduce the number of its outstanding shares. The Fund could do
this if there were a default on, or significant decline in value of, an
investment held by the Fund. In these circumstances, each investor would be
treated as having made a pro rata capital contribution to the Fund. By
investing in a Fund, you agree to this capital contribution should it become
necessary.

CitiFunds Trust III is a no-load, diversified, open-end management
investment company which was organized as a business trust under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on June 28, 1985 and is the successor to the
business of The Landmark Funds Cash Reserves, Inc., which was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Maryland in 1984. Shares of CitiFunds Trust III
are divided into two separate series, Cash Reserves and U.S. Treasury Reserves.
Prior to January 2, 1998, CitiFunds Trust III was called Landmark Funds III,
and Cash Reserves and U.S. Treasury Reserves were called Landmark Cash Reserves
and Landmark U.S. Treasury Reserves, respectively.

Tax Free Reserves is a no-load, non-diversified, open-end management
investment company which was organized as a business trust under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on June 21, 1985 and is the successor to the
business of The Landmark Funds Tax Free Reserves, Inc., which was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Maryland in 1983. Prior to January 2, 1998, Tax
Free Reserves was called Landmark Tax Free Reserves.

CitiFunds Multi-State Tax Free Trust is a no-load, non-diversified,
open-end management investment company which was organized as a business trust
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on August 30, 1985. Shares
of CitiFunds Multi-State Tax Free Trust are divided into three separate series,
California Tax Free Reserves, Connecticut Tax Free Reserves and New York Tax
Free Reserves. Prior to January 2, 1998 CitiFunds Multi-State Tax Free Trust
was called Landmark Multi-State Tax Free Funds, and California Tax Free
Reserves, Connecticut Tax Free Reserves and New York Tax Free Reserves were
called Landmark California Tax Free Reserves, Landmark Connecticut Tax Free
Reserves and Landmark New York Tax Free Reserves, respectively.

All references in this Statement of Additional Information to the
activities of the Trusts are intended to include those of the Trusts and their
respective predecessors, if any, unless the context indicates otherwise.

CitiFunds Trust III seeks the investment objectives of Cash Reserves and
U.S. Treasury Reserves by investing all of their investable assets in Cash
Reserves Portfolio and U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio, respectively. Tax Free
Reserves seeks its investment objectives by investing all of its investable
assets in Tax Free Reserves Portfolio. Each of Cash Reserves Portfolio and U.S.
Treasury Reserves Portfolio is a diversified, open-end management investment
company. Tax Free Reserves Portfolio is a non-diversified, open-end management
investment company. Each Portfolio has the same investment objectives and
policies as its corresponding Fund.

The Trustees of CitiFunds Trust III and Tax Free Reserves believe that the
aggregate per share expenses of Cash Reserves, U.S. Treasury Reserves and Tax
Free Reserves and their corresponding Portfolios will be less than or
approximately equal to the expenses that the Fund would incur if the assets of
the Fund were invested directly in the types of securities held by its
Portfolio. Each Fund many withdraw its investment in its Portfolio at any time,
and will do so if the Fund's Trustees believe it to be in the best interest of
the Fund's shareholders. If a Fund were to withdraw its investment in its
Portfolio, the Fund could either invest directly in securities in accordance
with the investment policies described below or invest in another mutual fund
or pooled investment vehicle having the same investment objectives and
policies. If a Fund were to withdraw, the Fund could receive securities from
the Portfolio instead of cash, causing the Fund to incur brokerage, tax and
other charges or leaving it with securities which may or may not be readily
marketable or widely diversified.

<PAGE>

Each Portfolio may change its investment objective and certain of its
investment policies and restrictions without approval by its investors, but a
Portfolio will notify its corresponding Fund (which in turn will notify its
shareholders) and its other investors at least 30 days before implementing any
change in its investment objective. A change in investment objective, policies
or restrictions may cause a Fund to withdraw its investment in its Portfolio.

The Portfolios, as New York trusts, are not required to hold and have no
intention of holding annual meetings of investors. However, when a Portfolio is
required to do so by law, or in the judgment of Trustees it is necessary or
desirable to do so, the Portfolio will submit matters to its investors for a
vote. When a Fund is asked to vote on matters concerning its corresponding
Portfolio (other than a vote to continue the Portfolio following the withdrawal
of an investor), the Fund will hold a shareholder meeting and vote in
accordance with shareholder instructions, or otherwise act in accordance with
applicable law. Of course, the Fund could be outvoted, or otherwise adversely
affected, by other investors in the Portfolio.

The Portfolios may sell interests to investors in addition to the Funds.
These investors may be mutual funds which offer shares to their shareholders
with different costs and expenses than the Funds. Therefore, the investment
returns for all investors in funds investing in a Portfolio may not be the
same. These differences in returns are also present in other mutual fund
structures.

Information about other holders of interests in the Portfolios is
available from the Funds' distributor, CFBDS, Inc. ("CFBDS") (21 Milk Street,
Boston, Massachusetts 02109, (617) 423-1679).

Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank" or the "Adviser") is the investment adviser to
each of the Portfolios and to CitiFunds Multi-State Tax Free Trust. The Adviser
manages the investments of each Portfolio, California Tax Free Reserves,
Connecticut Tax Free Reserves and New York Tax Free Reserves from day to day in
accordance with the investment objectives and policies of that Portfolio or
Fund. The selection of investments for each Portfolio and Fund, and the way
they are managed, depend on the conditions and trends in the economy and the
financial marketplaces.

CFBDS, the Funds' administrator (the "Administrator"), supervises the
overall administration of the Trusts, U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio and Tax
Free Reserves Portfolio. Signature Financial Group (Cayman) Ltd. ("SFG")
supervises the overall administration of Cash Reserves Portfolio. The Boards of
Trustees of the Trusts and the Portfolios provide broad supervision over the
affairs of the Trusts and of the Portfolios, respectively.

Shares of each Fund are continuously sold by CFBDS, the Funds' distributor
(the "Distributor"), only to investors who are customers of a financial
institution, such as a federal or state-chartered bank, trust company, savings
and loan association or savings bank, or a securities broker, that has entered
into a shareholder servicing agreement with the appropriate Trust with respect
to that Fund (collectively, "Shareholder Servicing Agents"). Although shares of
the Funds are sold without a sales load, CFBDS may receive fees from the Funds
pursuant to Distribution Plans adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

2. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

The investment objective of CASH RESERVES is to provide shareholders with
liquidity and as high a level of current income as is consistent with
preservation of capital.

The investment objective of U.S. TREASURY RESERVES is to provide its
shareholders with liquidity and as high a level of current income from U.S.
government obligations as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

The investment objectives of TAX FREE RESERVES are to provide its
shareholders with high levels of current income exempt from federal income
taxes, preservation of capital and liquidity.

The investment objectives of CALIFORNIA TAX FREE RESERVES are to provide
shareholders with high levels of current income exempt from both federal and
California personal income taxes, preservation of capital and liquidity.

<PAGE>

The investment objectives of CONNECTICUT TAX FREE RESERVES are to provide
its shareholders with high levels of current income exempt from both federal
and Connecticut personal income taxes, preservation of capital and liquidity.

The investment objectives of NEW YORK TAX FREE RESERVES are to provide its
shareholders with high levels of current income exempt from federal, New York
State and New York City personal income taxes, preservation of capital and
liquidity.

The investment objectives of each Fund may be changed without approval by
that Fund's shareholders. Of course, there can be no assurance that any Fund
will achieve its investment objectives.

INVESTMENT POLICIES

CitiFunds Trust III seeks the investment objectives of its series by
investing all of the investable assets of Cash Reserves and U.S. Treasury
Reserves in Cash Reserves Portfolio and U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio,
respectively. Tax Free Reserves seeks its investment objectives by investing
all of its investable assets in Tax Free Reserves Portfolio. Each Portfolio has
the same investment objectives and policies as its corresponding Fund. The
Prospectus contains a discussion of the principal investment strategies of each
Fund and certain risks of investing in each Fund. The following supplements the
information contained in the Prospectus concerning the investment objectives,
policies and techniques of each Fund and Portfolio, and contains more
information about the various types of securities in which each Fund and each
Portfolio may invest and the risks involved in such investments. Since the
investment characteristics of Cash Reserves, U.S. Treasury Reserves and Tax
Free Reserves will correspond directly to those of the Portfolio in which it
invests, the following is a supplementary discussion with respect to each
Portfolio.

Each of Cash Reserves, U.S. Treasury Reserves and Tax Free Reserves may
withdraw its investment from its corresponding Portfolio at any time, if the
Board of Trustees of the applicable Trust determines that it is in the best
interests of the Fund to do so. Upon any such withdrawal, a Fund's assets would
be invested in accordance with the investment policies described below with
respect to its corresponding Portfolio. Except for the concentration policy of
Cash Reserves with respect to bank obligations described in paragraph (1) below
and for the policy of each of the Tax Free Funds with respect to investing in
municipal obligations described below, which may not be changed without the
approval of Cash Reserves' or the applicable Tax Free Fund's shareholders, the
approval of a Fund's shareholders would not be required to change that Fund's
investment objectives or any of its investment policies. Likewise, except for
the concentration policy of Cash Reserves Portfolio with respect to bank
obligations described in paragraph (1) below and for the policy of Tax Free
Reserves Portfolio with respect to investing in municipal obligations described
below, which may not be changed without the approval of Cash Reserves
Portfolio's or Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's investors, as applicable, the
approval of the investors in a Portfolio would not be required to change that
Portfolio's investment objectives or any of its investment policies discussed
below, including those concerning securities transactions. Each Portfolio
would, however, give written notice to its investors at least 30 days prior to
implementing any change in its investment objectives.

Cash Reserves Portfolio

Cash Reserves Portfolio seeks its investment objective through investments
limited to the following types of high quality U.S. dollar-denominated money
market instruments. All investments by Cash Reserves Portfolio mature or are
deemed to mature within 397 days from the date of acquisition, and the average
maturity of the investments held by the Portfolio (on a dollar-weighted basis)
is 90 days or less. All investments by the Portfolio are in "first tier"
securities (i.e., securities rated in the highest rating category for
short-term obligations by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations (each, an "NRSRO") assigning a rating to the security or issuer
or, if only one NRSRO assigns a rating, that NRSRO or, in the case of an
investment which is not rated, of comparable quality as determined by the
Adviser) and are determined by the Adviser to present minimal credit risks.
Investments in high quality, short term instruments may, in many circumstances,

<PAGE>

result in a lower yield than would be available from investments in instruments
with a lower quality or a longer term. Cash Reserves Portfolio may hold
uninvested cash reserves pending investment. Under the 1940 Act, Cash Reserves
and Cash Reserves Portfolio are each classified as "diversified," although in
the case of Cash Reserves, all of its investable assets are invested in the
Portfolio. A "diversified investment company" must invest at least 75% of its
assets in cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, investment company
securities (e.g., interests in the Portfolio) and other securities limited as
to any one issuer to not more than 5% of the total assets of the investment
company and not more than 10% of the voting securities of the issuer.

(1) Bank obligations -- Cash Reserves Portfolio invests at least 25%
of its investable assets, and may invest up to 100% of its assets, in bank
obligations. This concentration policy is fundamental and may not be
changed without the approval of the investors in Cash Reserves Portfolio.
Bank obligations include, but are not limited to, negotiable certificates
of deposit, bankers' acceptances and fixed time deposits. Cash Reserves
Portfolio limits its investments in U.S. bank obligations (including their
non-U.S. branches) to banks having total assets in excess of $1 billion
and which are subject to regulation by an agency of the U.S. government.
The Portfolio may also invest in certificates of deposit issued by banks
the deposits in which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC"), through either the Bank Insurance Fund or the
Savings Association Insurance Fund, having total assets of less than $1
billion, provided that the Portfolio at no time owns more than $100,000
principal amount of certificates of deposit (or any higher principal
amount which in the future may be fully insured by FDIC insurance) of any
one of those issuers. Fixed time deposits are obligations which are
payable at a stated maturity date and bear a fixed rate of interest.
Generally, fixed time deposits may be withdrawn on demand by the
Portfolio, but they may be subject to early withdrawal penalties which
vary depending upon market conditions and the remaining maturity of the
obligation. Although fixed time deposits do not have a market, there are
no contractual restrictions on the Portfolio's right to transfer a
beneficial interest in the deposit to a third party.

U.S. banks organized under federal law are supervised and examined by
the Comptroller of the Currency and are required to be members of the
Federal Reserve System and to be insured by the FDIC. U.S. banks organized
under state law are supervised and examined by state banking authorities
and are members of the Federal Reserve System only if they elect to join.
However, state banks which are insured by the FDIC are subject to federal
examination and to a substantial body of federal law and regulation. As a
result of federal and state laws and regulations, U.S. branches of U.S.
banks, among other things, are generally required to maintain specified
levels of reserves, and are subject to other supervision and regulation
designed to promote financial soundness.

Cash Reserves Portfolio limits its investments in non-U.S. bank
obligations (i.e., obligations of non-U.S. branches and subsidiaries of
U.S. banks, and U.S. and non-U.S. branches of non-U.S. banks) to U.S.
dollar-denominated obligations of banks which at the time of investment
are branches or subsidiaries of U.S. banks which meet the criteria in the
preceding paragraphs or are branches of non-U.S. banks which (i) have more
than $10 billion, or the equivalent in other currencies, in total assets;
(ii) in terms of assets are among the 75 largest non-U.S. banks in the
world; (iii) have branches or agencies in the United States; and (iv) in
the opinion of the Adviser, are of an investment quality comparable with
obligations of U.S. banks which may be purchased by the Portfolio. These
obligations may be general obligations of the parent bank, in addition to
the issuing branch or subsidiary, but the parent bank's obligations may be
limited by the terms of the specific obligation or by governmental
regulation. The Portfolio also limits its investments in non-U.S. bank
obligations to banks, branches and subsidiaries located in Western Europe
(United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy,
Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden), Australia, Japan, the Cayman
Islands, the Bahamas and Canada. Cash Reserves Portfolio does not purchase
any bank obligation of the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser.

Since Cash Reserves Portfolio may hold obligations of non-U.S.
branches and subsidiaries of U.S. banks, and U.S. and non-U.S. branches of
non-U.S. banks, an investment in Cash Reserves involves certain additional
risks. Such investment risks include future political and economic
developments, the possible imposition of non-U.S. withholding taxes on
interest income payable on such obligations held by the Portfolio, the
possible seizure or nationalization of non-U.S. deposits and the possible
establishment of exchange controls or other non-U.S. governmental laws or
restrictions applicable to the payment of the principal of and interest on
certificates of deposit or time deposits that might affect adversely such
payment on such obligations held by the Portfolio. In addition, there may
be less publicly-available information about a non-U.S. branch or
subsidiary of a U.S. bank or a U.S. or non-U.S. branch of a non-U.S. bank
than about a U.S. bank and such branches and subsidiaries may not be
subject to the same or similar regulatory requirements that apply to U.S.
banks, such as mandatory reserve requirements, loan limitations and
accounting, auditing and financial record-keeping standards and
requirements.

<PAGE>

The provisions of federal law governing the establishment and
operation of U.S. branches do not apply to non-U.S. branches of U.S.
banks. However, Cash Reserves Portfolio may purchase obligations only of
those non-U.S. branches of U.S. banks which were established with the
approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the
"Board of Governors"). As a result of such approval, these branches are
subject to examination by the Board of Governors and the Comptroller of
the Currency. In addition, such non-U.S. branches of U.S. banks are
subject to the supervision of the U.S. bank and creditors of the non-U.S.
branch are considered general creditors of the U.S. bank subject to
whatever defenses may be available under the governing non-U.S. law and
to the terms of the specific obligation. Nonetheless, Cash Reserves
Portfolio generally will be subject to whatever risk may exist that the
non-U.S. country may impose restrictions on payment of certificates of
deposit or time deposits.

U.S. branches of non-U.S. banks are subject to the laws of the state
in which the branch is located or to the laws of the United States. Such
branches are therefore subject to many of the regulations, including
reserve requirements, to which U.S. banks are subject. In addition, Cash
Reserves Portfolio may purchase obligations only of those U.S. branches of
non-U.S. banks which are located in states which impose the additional
requirement that the branch pledge to a designated bank within the state
an amount of its assets equal to 5% of its total liabilities.

Non-U.S. banks in whose obligations Cash Reserves Portfolio may
invest may not be subject to the laws and regulations referred to in the
preceding two paragraphs.

(2) Obligations of, or guaranteed by, non-U.S. governments. Cash
Reserves Portfolio limits its investments in non-U.S. government
obligations to obligations issued or guaranteed by the governments of
Western Europe (United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands,
Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden), Australia, Japan and Canada.
Generally, such obligations may be subject to the additional risks
described in paragraph (1) above in connection with the purchase of non-
U.S. bank obligations.

(3) Commercial paper rated Prime-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") or A-1 by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("Standard &
Poor's") or, if not rated, determined to be of comparable quality by the
Adviser, such as unrated commercial paper issued by corporations having an
outstanding unsecured debt issue currently rated Aaa by Moody's or AAA by
Standard & Poor's. Commercial paper is unsecured debt of corporations
usually maturing in 270 days or less from its date of issuance.

(4) Obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government, its
agencies or instrumentalities. These include issues of the U.S. Treasury,
such as bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, bonds and Treasury
Receipts, which are unmatured interest coupons of U.S. Treasury bonds and
notes which have been separated and resold in a custodial receipt program
administered by the U.S. Treasury, and issues of agencies and
instrumentalities established under the authority of an Act of Congress.
Some of the latter category of obligations are supported by the full faith
and credit of the United States, others are supported by the right of the
issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, and still others are supported
only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality. Examples of each of
the three types of obligations described in the preceding sentence are (i)
obligations guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States,
(ii) obligations of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and (iii)
obligations of the Student Loan Marketing Association, respectively.

(5) Repurchase agreements, providing for resale within 397 days or
less, covering obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government, its
agencies or instrumentalities which may have maturities in excess of 397
days. A repurchase agreement arises when a buyer purchases an obligation
and simultaneously agrees with the vendor to resell the obligation to the
vendor at an agreed-upon price and time, which is usually not more than
seven days from the date of purchase. The resale price of a repurchase
agreement is greater than the purchase price, reflecting an agreed-upon
market rate which is effective for the period of time the buyer's funds
are invested in the obligation and which is not related to the coupon rate
on the purchased obligation. Obligations serving as collateral for each
repurchase agreement are delivered to the Portfolio's custodian either
physically or in book entry form and the collateral is marked to the
market daily to ensure that each repurchase agreement is fully
collateralized at all times. A buyer of a repurchase agreement runs a risk
of loss if, at the time of default by the issuer, the value of the
collateral securing the agreement is less than the price paid for the
repurchase agreement. If the vendor of a repurchase agreement becomes

<PAGE>

bankrupt, Cash Reserves Portfolio might be delayed, or may incur costs or
possible losses of principal and income, in selling the collateral. The
Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements only with a vendor which is
a member bank of the Federal Reserve System or which is a "primary dealer"
(as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. government
obligations. The Portfolio will not enter into any repurchase agreements
with the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The restrictions and
procedures described above which govern the Portfolio's investment in
repurchase agreements are designed to minimize the Portfolio's risk of
losses in making those investments. (See "Repurchase Agreements.")

(6) Asset-backed securities, which may include securities such as
Certificates for Automobile Receivables ("CARS") and Credit Card
Receivable Securities ("CARDS"), as well as other asset-backed securities
that may be developed in the future. CARS represent fractional interests
in pools of car installment loans, and CARDS represent fractional
interests in pools of revolving credit card receivables. The rate of
return on asset-backed securities may be affected by early prepayment of
principal on the underlying loans or receivables. Prepayment rates vary
widely and may be affected by changes in market interest rates. It is not
possible to accurately predict the average life of a particular pool of
loans or receivables. Reinvestment of principal may occur at higher or
lower rates than the original yield. Therefore, the actual maturity and
realized yield on asset-backed securities will vary based upon the
prepayment experience of the underlying pool of loans or receivables.
(See "Asset-Backed Securities.")

Cash Reserves Portfolio does not purchase securities which the Portfolio
believes, at the time of purchase, will be subject to exchange controls or
non-U.S. withholding taxes; however, there can be no assurance that such laws
may not become applicable to certain of the Portfolio's investments. In the
event exchange controls or non-U.S. withholding taxes are imposed with respect
to any of the Portfolio's investments, the effect may be to reduce the income
received by the Portfolio on such investments or to prevent the Portfolio from
receiving any value in U.S. dollars from its investment in non-U.S. securities.

ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES
As set forth above, Cash Reserves Portfolio may purchase asset-backed
securities that represent fractional interests in pools of retail installment
loans, both secured (such as CARS) and unsecured, or leases or revolving credit
receivables, both secured and unsecured (such as CARDS). These assets are
generally held by a trust and payments of principal and interest or interest
only are passed through monthly or quarterly to certificate holders and may be
guaranteed up to certain amounts by letters of credit issued by a financial
institution affiliated or unaffiliated with the trustee or originator of the
trust.

Underlying automobile sales contracts, leases or credit card receivables
are subject to prepayment, which may reduce the overall return to certificate
holders. Nevertheless, principal repayment rates tend not to vary much with
interest rates and the short-term nature of the underlying loans, leases or
receivables tends to dampen the impact of any change in the prepayment level.
Reinvestment of principal may occur at higher or lower rates than the original
yield. Certificate holders may also experience delays in payment on the
certificates if the full amounts due on underlying loans, leases or receivables
are not realized by the Portfolio because of unanticipated legal or
administrative costs of enforcing the contracts or because of depreciation or
damage to the collateral (usually automobiles) securing certain contracts, or
other factors. If consistent with its investment objectives and policies, Cash
Reserves Portfolio may invest in other asset-backed securities that may be
developed in the future.

U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio

U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio seeks its investment objective by
investing in obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government, its
agencies or instrumentalities including issues of the U.S. Treasury, such as
bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, bonds and Treasury Receipts, which
are unmatured interest coupons of U.S. Treasury bonds and notes which have been
separated and resold in a custodial receipt program administered by the U.S.
Treasury, and in issues of agencies and instrumentalities established under the
authority of an Act of Congress which are supported by the full faith and
credit of the United States. U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio will not enter
into repurchase agreements. All investments by the Portfolio are in "first
tier" securities (i.e., securities rated in the highest rating category for
short-term obligations by at least two NRSRO's assigning a rating to the
security or issuer or, if only one NRSRO assigns a rating, that NRSRO or, in
the case of an investment which is not rated, of comparable quality as
determined by the Adviser) and are determined by the Adviser to present minimal
credit risks. Investments in high quality, short term instruments may, in many
circumstances, result in a lower yield than would be available from investments

<PAGE>

in instruments with a lower quality or a longer term. U.S. Treasury Reserves
Portfolio may hold uninvested cash reserves pending investment.

THE TAX FREE FUNDS

TAX FREE RESERVES PORTFOLIO
Tax Free Reserves Portfolio seeks its investment objectives by investing
primarily in short-term, high quality fixed rate and variable rate obligations
issued by or on behalf of states and municipal governments, and their
authorities, agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions and other
qualifying issuers, the interest on which is exempt from federal income taxes,
including participation interests in such obligations issued by banks,
insurance companies or other financial institutions. (These securities, whether
or not the interest thereon is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax,
are referred to herein as "Municipal Obligations.") In determining the tax
status of interest on Municipal Obligations, the Adviser relies on opinions of
bond counsel who may be counsel to the issuer. Although the Portfolio will
attempt to invest 100% of its assets in Municipal Obligations, the Portfolio
reserves the right to invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities the
interest income on which is subject to federal, state and local income tax or
the federal alternative minimum tax. The Portfolio invests more than 25% of its
assets in participation certificates issued by banks in industrial development
bonds and other Municipal Obligations. In view of this "concentration" in bank
participation certificates, an investment in Tax Free Reserves shares should be
made with an understanding of the characteristics of the banking industry and
the risks which such an investment may entail. (See "Variable Rate Instruments
and Participation Interests" below.) Tax Free Reserves Portfolio may hold
uninvested cash reserves pending investment. Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's
investments may include "when- issued" or "forward delivery" Municipal
Obligations, stand-by commitments and taxable repurchase agreements.

Tax Free Reserves Portfolio may invest 25% or more of its assets in
securities that are related in such a way that an economic, business or
political development or change affecting one of the securities would also
affect the other securities including, for example, securities the interest
upon which is paid from revenues of similar type projects, or securities the
issuers of which are located in the same state.

All investments by Tax Free Reserves Portfolio mature or are deemed to
mature within 397 days from the date of acquisition and the average maturity of
the Portfolio's securities (on a dollar-weighted basis) is 90 days or less. The
maturities of variable rate instruments held by Tax Free Reserves Portfolio are
deemed to be the longer of the notice period, or the period remaining until the
next interest rate adjustment, although the stated maturities may be in excess
of 397 days. (See "Variable Rate Instruments and Participation Interests"
below.) All investments by Tax Free Reserves Portfolio are "eligible
securities," that is, rated in one of the two highest rating categories for
short-term obligations by at least two NRSRO's assigning a rating to the
security or issuer or, if only one NRSRO assigns a rating, that NRSRO, or, in
the case of an investment which is not rated, of comparable quality as
determined by or on behalf of Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's Board of Trustees
on the basis of its credit evaluation of the obligor or of the bank issuing a
participation interest, letter of credit or guarantee, or insurance issued in
support of the Municipal Obligations or participation interests. (See "Variable
Rate Instruments and Participation Interests" below.) Such instruments may
produce a lower yield than would be available from less highly rated
instruments. Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's Board of Trustees has determined
that Municipal Obligations which are backed by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. government are considered to have a rating equivalent to Moody's Aaa. (See
"Ratings of Municipal Obligations" in Appendix A to this Statement of
Additional Information.)

The Portfolio's fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its assets,
under normal circumstances, in certain Municipal Obligations is described below
in "Municipal Obligations."

CALIFORNIA TAX FREE RESERVES, CONNECTICUT TAX FREE RESERVES AND NEW YORK
TAX FREE RESERVES
Each of California Tax Free Reserves, Connecticut Tax Free Reserves and
New York Tax Free Reserves seeks its investment objectives by investing
primarily in short- term, high quality Municipal Obligations (as defined
above). Each Fund's fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its assets,
under normal circumstances, in certain Municipal Obligations is described below
in "Municipal Obligations."

CitiFunds Multi-State Tax Free Trust's Board of Trustees has determined
that the term "high quality" means Municipal Obligations which at the time of
purchase are rated within the AAA or AA categories by Standard & Poor's or
Fitch IBCA, Inc. ("Fitch") or within the Aaa or Aa categories by Moody's in the
case of bonds; MIG 1/VMIG 1 or MIG 2/VMIG 2 by Moody's, SP-1+, SP-1 or SP-2 by
Standard & Poor's or F-1 or F-2 by Fitch in the case of notes; A-1+, A-1 or A-2
by Standard & Poor's or Prime-1, Prime-2 by Moody's or F-1 or F-2 by Fitch, in

<PAGE>

the case of tax-exempt commercial paper; or which are unrated but are
determined to be of comparable quality by or on behalf of the Trust's Board of
Trustees on the basis of a credit evaluation of the obligor or of the bank
issuing a participation interest, letter of credit or guarantee, or insurance
policy issued in support of the Municipal Obligations or participation
interests. (See "Variable Rate Instruments and Participation Interests" below.)
Such instruments may produce a lower yield than would be available from less
highly rated instruments. The Trust's Board of Trustees has determined that
Municipal Obligations which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government will be considered to have a rating equivalent to Moody's Aaa. (See
Appendix A to this Statement of Additional Information for an explanation of
these rating systems.)

In the case of California Tax Free Reserves, in general, dividends paid by
the Fund which are attributable to interest income on tax-exempt obligations of
the State of California and its political subdivisions, of Puerto Rico, other
U.S. territories and their political subdivisions and of other qualifying
issuers ("California Municipal Obligations"), will be exempt from federal and
California personal income taxes. For Connecticut Tax Free Reserves, dividends
paid by the Fund which are treated as exemptinterest dividends for federal
income tax purposes, to the extent derived from interest income on tax-exempt
obligations issued by or on behalf of the State of Connecticut, its political
subdivisions, or public instrumentalities, state or local authorities,
districts or similar public entities created under Connecticut law, obligations
of Puerto Rico, other U.S. territories and their political subdivisions and
obligations of other qualifying issuers ("Connecticut Municipal Obligations"),
will be exempt from federal and Connecticut personal income taxes. In the case
of New York Tax Free Reserves, dividends paid by the Fund which are
attributable to interest income on tax-exempt obligations of the State of New
York and its political subdivisions, of Puerto Rico, other U.S. territories and
their political subdivisions and of other qualifying issuers ("New York
Municipal Obligations"), will be exempt from federal, New York State and New
York City personal income taxes. These Funds may purchase Municipal Obligations
issued by other states, their agencies and instrumentalities the interest
income on which will be exempt from federal income tax but will be subject to
California, Connecticut or New York State and New York City personal income
taxes, as the case may be.

In order for California Tax Free Reserves to pay dividends that are exempt
from federal tax and California personal income tax, the Fund must continue to
qualify as a "regulated investment company" for federal income tax purposes. In
addition, in order for California Tax Free Reserves to be eligible to pay
dividends that are exempt from California personal income tax, at the end of
each quarter of its taxable year at least 50% of the Fund's total assets must
be invested in obligations, the interest on which is exempt from California
taxation when received by an individual ("California Exempt-Interest
Securities").

In determining the tax status of interest on Municipal Obligations, the
Adviser relies on opinions of bond counsel who may be counsel to the issuer.

Under normal circumstances, California Tax Free Reserves, Connecticut Tax
Free Reserves and New York Tax Free Reserves invest at least 65% of their
assets in California Municipal Obligations, Connecticut Municipal Obligations
and New York Municipal Obligations, respectively, although the exact amount of
a Fund's assets invested in such securities varies from time to time. Although
these Funds attempt to invest 100% of their assets in Municipal Obligations,
each Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities the interest
income on which is subject to federal, state and local income tax or the
federal alternative minimum tax. Each Fund may invest more than 25% of its
assets in participation interests issued by banks in industrial development
bonds and other Municipal Obligations. In view of this possible "concentration"
in bank participation interests, an investment in these Funds should be made
with an understanding of the characteristics of the banking industry and the
risks which such an investment may entail. (See "Variable Rate Instruments and
Participation Interests" below.) Uninvested cash reserves may be held
temporarily for the Funds pending investment. The Funds' investments may
include "when-issued" and "forward delivery" Municipal Obligations, stand-by
commitments and taxable repurchase agreements.

All of California Tax Free Reserves', Connecticut Tax Free Reserves' and
New York Tax Free Reserves' investments mature or are deemed to mature within
397 days from the date of acquisition and the average maturity of the
investments in the Funds' respective portfolios (on a dollar-weighted basis) is
90 days or less. The maturities of variable rate instruments held in such
Funds' portfolios are deemed to be the longer of the period remaining until the
next interest rate adjustment or the period until a Fund would be entitled to
payment pursuant to demand rights, a letter of credit, guarantee or insurance
policy or a right to tender or put the instrument, although the stated
maturities may be in excess of 397 days. (See "Variable Rate Instruments and
Participation Interests" below.)

<PAGE>

As non-diversified investment companies, California Tax Free Reserves,
Connecticut Tax Free Reserves and New York Tax Free Reserves are not subject to
any statutory restrictions under the 1940 Act with respect to limiting the
investment of their assets in one or relatively few issuers. This concentration
may present greater risks than in the case of a diversified company. However,
each Fund intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). In
order so to qualify under current law, at the close of each quarter of a Fund's
taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the Fund's total assets must be
represented by cash, U.S. government securities, investment company securities
and other securities limited in respect of any one issuer (or related) to not
more than 5% in value of the total assets of the Fund and not more than 10% of
the outstanding voting securities of such issuer. In addition, and again under
current law, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, not more than
25% in value of the Fund's total assets may be invested in securities, other
than U.S. government securities, of one issuer (or related issuers).

Each Fund may invest 25% or more of its assets in securities that are
related in such a way that an economic, business or political development or
change affecting one of the securities would also affect the other securities
including, for example, securities the interest upon which is paid from
revenues of similar type projects, or securities the issuers of which are
located in the same state.

MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS
As a fundamental policy, each of the Tax Free Funds (including Tax Free
Reserves Portfolio for purposes of this discussion) invests at least 80% of its
assets, under normal circumstances, in:

(1) Municipal bonds with remaining maturities of one year (397 days for
California Tax Free Reserves and Connecticut Tax Free Reserves) or less that
are rated within the Aaa or Aa categories at the date of purchase by Moody's or
within the AAA or AA categories by Standard & Poor's or Fitch (and, for
Connecticut Tax Free Reserves, present a minimal credit risk as determined by
its Board of Trustees or the Adviser on its behalf) or, if not rated by these
rating agencies, are of comparable quality as determined by the Adviser on the
basis of the credit evaluation of the obligor on the bonds or of the bank
issuing a participation interest or guarantee or of any insurance issued in
support of the bonds or the participation interests.

(2) Municipal notes with remaining maturities of one year (397 days for
California Tax Free Reserves and Connecticut Tax Free Reserves) or less that at
the date of purchase are rated MIG 1/VMIG 1 or MIG 2/VMIG 2 by Moody's, SP-1+,
SP-1 or SP-2 by Standard & Poor's or F-1 or F-2 by Fitch (and, for Connecticut
Tax Free Reserves, present a minimal credit risk as determined by its Board of
Trustees or the Adviser on its behalf) or, if not rated by these rating
agencies, are of comparable quality as determined by the Adviser. The principal
kinds of municipal notes are tax and revenue anticipation notes, tax
anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes and revenue anticipation notes.
Notes sold in anticipation of collection of taxes, a bond sale or receipt of
other revenues are usually general obligations of the issuing municipality or
agency. The investments of California Tax Free Reserves, Connecticut Tax Free
Reserves and New York Tax Free Reserves may be concentrated in municipal
obligations of California, Connecticut and New York issuers, respectively.

(3) Municipal commercial paper that is rated Prime-1 or Prime-2 by
Moody's, A-1+, A-1 or A-2 by Standard & Poor's or F-1 or F-2 by Fitch (and, for
Connecticut Tax Free Reserves, present a minimal credit risk as determined by
its Board of Trustees or the Adviser on its behalf) or, if not rated by these
rating agencies, is of comparable quality as determined by the Adviser. Issues
of municipal commercial paper typically represent very short-term, unsecured,
negotiable promissory notes. These obligations are often issued to meet
seasonal working capital needs of municipalities or to provide interim
construction financing and are paid from general revenues of municipalities or
are refinanced with long-term debt. In most cases municipal commercial paper is
backed by letters of credit, lending agreements, note repurchase agreements or
other credit facility agreements offered by banks or other institutions which
may be called upon in the event of default by the issuer of the commercial
paper.

Subsequent to its purchase by a Tax Free Fund, a rated Municipal
Obligation may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum
required for purchase by the Fund. Neither event requires sale of such
Municipal Obligation by the Fund (other than variable rate instruments which
must be sold if they are not "high quality"), but the Adviser considers such
event in determining whether the Fund should continue to hold the Municipal
Obligation. To the extent that the ratings given to the Municipal Obligations
or other securities held by a Tax Free Fund are altered due to changes in any
of the Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch ratings systems (see Appendix A to
this Statement of Additional Information for an explanation of these rating
systems), the Adviser adopts such changed ratings as standards for its future
investments in accordance with the investment policies contained above and in

<PAGE>

the Prospectus. Certain Municipal Obligations issued by instrumentalities of
the U.S. government are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Treasury but only by the creditworthiness of the instrumentality. CitiFunds
Multi-State Tax Free Trust's and Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's Boards of
Trustees have determined that any Municipal Obligation that depends directly,
or indirectly through a government insurance program or other guarantee, on the
full faith and credit of the U.S. government is considered to have a rating in
the highest category. Where necessary to ensure that the Municipal Obligations
are "eligible securities" (i.e., within the two highest ratings assigned by
Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch), or where the obligations are not freely
transferable, a Tax Free Fund will require that the obligation to pay the
principal and accrued interest be backed by an unconditional irrevocable bank
letter of credit, a guarantee, insurance policy or other comparable undertaking
of an approved financial institution.

MUNICIPAL BONDS. Municipal bonds are debt obligations of states, cities,
municipalities and municipal agencies and authorities which generally have a
maturity at the time of issuance of one year or more and which are issued to
raise funds for various public purposes, such as construction of a wide range
of public facilities, refunding outstanding obligations or obtaining funds for
institutions and facilities. The two principal classifications of municipal
bonds are "general obligation" and "revenue" bonds. General obligation bonds
are secured by the issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power
for the payment of principal and interest. The principal of and interest on
revenue bonds are payable from the income of specific projects or authorities
and generally are not supported by the issuer's general power to levy taxes. In
some cases, revenues derived from specific taxes are pledged to support
payments on a revenue bond.

In addition, certain kinds of private activity bonds ("IDBs") are issued
by or on behalf of public authorities to provide funding for various privately
operated industrial facilities, such as warehouse, office, plant and store
facilities and environmental and pollution control facilities. IDBs are, in
most cases, revenue bonds. The payment of the principal and interest on IDBs
usually depends solely on the ability of the user of the facilities financed by
the bonds or other guarantor to meet its financial obligations and, in certain
instances, the pledge of real and personal property as security for payment.
Many IDBs may not be readily marketable; however, the IDBs or the participation
certificates in IDBs purchased by a Fund will have liquidity because they
generally will be supported by demand features to "high quality" banks,
insurance companies or other financial institutions.

Municipal bonds may be issued as "zero coupon" obligations. Zero-coupon
bonds are issued at a significant discount from their principal amount in lieu
of paying interest periodically. Because zero-coupon bonds do not pay current
interest in cash, their value is subject to greater fluctuation in response to
changes in market interest rates than bonds that pay interest currently.
Zero-coupon bonds allow an issuer to avoid the need to generate cash to meet
current interest payments. Accordingly, such bonds may involve greater credit
risks than bonds paying interest currently in cash. Each Tax Free Fund is
required to accrue interest income on such investments and to distribute such
amounts at least annually to shareholders even though zero-coupon bonds do not
pay current interest in cash. Thus, it may be necessary at times for a Fund to
liquidate investments in order to satisfy its dividend requirements.

MUNICIPAL NOTES. There are four major varieties of state and municipal
notes: Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes ("TRANs"); Tax Anticipation Notes
("TANs"); Revenue Anticipation Notes ("RANs"); and Bond Anticipation Notes
("BANs"). TRANs, TANs and RANs are issued by states, municipalities and other
tax-exempt issuers to finance short-term cash needs or, occasionally, to
finance construction. Many TRANs, TANs and RANs are general obligations of the
issuing entity payable from taxes or designated revenues, respectively,
expected to be received within the related fiscal period. BANSs are issued with
the expectation that their principal and interest will be paid out of proceeds
from renewal notes or bonds to be issued prior to the maturity of the BANs.
BANs are issued most frequently by both general obligation and revenue bond
issuers usually to finance such items as land acquisition, facility acquisition
and/or construction and capital improvement projects.

For an explanation of the ratings of Municipal Obligations by Moody's,
Standard & Poor's and Fitch, see Appendix A to this Statement of Additional
Information. For a comparison of yields on such Municipal Obligations and
taxable securities, see the Appendix to the Prospectus.

MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS. Participations in municipal leases are
undivided interests in a portion of a lease or installment purchase issued by a
state or local government to acquire equipment or facilities. Municipal leases
frequently have special risks not normally associated with general obligation
bonds or revenue bonds. Many leases include "non-appropriation" clauses that
provide that the governmental issuer has no obligation to make future payments

<PAGE>

under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for such purpose by
the appropriate legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. Although
the obligations will be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the
disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation or foreclosure
might, in some cases, prove difficult. Municipal lease obligations are deemed
to be illiquid unless otherwise determined by the Board of Trustees.

VARIABLE RATE INSTRUMENTS AND PARTICIPATION INTERESTS
Each of the Tax Free Funds (including Tax Free Reserves Portfolio for
purposes of this discussion) may purchase variable rate instruments and
participation interests. Variable rate instruments that the Tax Free Funds may
purchase are tax-exempt Municipal Obligations (including municipal notes and
municipal commercial paper) that provide for a periodic adjustment in the
interest rate paid on the instrument and permit the holder to receive payment
upon a specified number of days' notice of the unpaid principal balance plus
accrued interest either from the issuer or by drawing on a bank letter of
credit, a guarantee or an insurance policy issued with respect to such
instrument or by tendering or "putting" such instrument to a third party.

The variable rate instruments in which Tax Free Funds' assets may be
invested are payable upon a specified period of notice which may range from one
day up to one year. The terms of the instruments provide that interest rates
are adjustable at intervals ranging from daily to up to one year and the
adjustments are based upon the prime rate of a bank or other appropriate
interest rate adjustment index as provided in the respective instruments. Each
Tax Free Fund will decide which variable rate instruments it will purchase in
accordance with procedures prescribed by its Board of Trustees to minimize
credit risks. An unrated variable rate instrument may be determined to meet a
Fund's high quality criteria if it is backed by a letter of credit or guarantee
or a right to tender or put the instrument to a third party or is insured by an
insurer that meets the high quality criteria for the Fund discussed above or on
the basis of a credit evaluation of the underlying obligor. If the credit of
the obligor is of "high quality," no credit support from a bank or other
financial institution will be necessary. Each unrated variable rate instrument
will be evaluated on a quarterly basis to determine that it continues to meet a
Tax Free Fund's high quality criteria. If an instrument is ever deemed to be of
less than high quality, the Funds either will sell it in the market or exercise
the liquidity feature described below.

Variable rate instruments in which the Tax Free Funds may invest include
participation interests in variable rate, tax-exempt Municipal Obligations
owned by a bank, insurance company or other financial institution or affiliated
organizations. Although the rate of the underlying Municipal Obligations may be
fixed, the terms of the participation interest may result in the Fund receiving
a variable rate on its investment. A participation interest gives a Tax Free
Fund an undivided interest in the Municipal Obligation in the proportion that
the Fund's participation bears to the total principal amount of the Municipal
Obligation and provides the liquidity feature. Each participation may be backed
by an irrevocable letter of credit or guarantee of, or a right to put to, a
bank (which may be the bank issuing the participation interest, a bank issuing
a confirming letter of credit to that of the issuing bank, or a bank serving as
agent of the issuing bank with respect to the possible repurchase of the
participation interest) or insurance policy of an insurance company that has
been determined by or on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the applicable
Trust to meet the prescribed quality standards of a Tax Free Fund. Each Tax
Free Fund has the right to sell the participation interest back to the
institution or draw on the letter of credit or insurance after a specified
period of notice, for all or any part of the full principal amount of the
Fund's participation in the security, plus accrued interest. Each Tax Free Fund
intends to exercise the liquidity feature only (1) upon a default under the
terms of the bond documents, (2) as needed to provide liquidity to the Fund in
order to facilitate withdrawals from the Fund, or (3) to maintain a high
quality investment portfolio. In some cases, this liquidity feature may not be
exercisable in the event of a default on the underlying Municipal Obligations;
in these cases, the underlying Municipal Obligations must meet the Fund's high
credit standards at the time of purchase of the participation interest. Issuers
of participation interests will retain a service and letter of credit fee and a
fee for providing the liquidity feature, in an amount equal to the excess of
the interest paid on the instruments over the negotiated yield at which the
participations were purchased on behalf of a Tax Free Fund. The total fees
generally range from 5% to 15% of the applicable prime rate or other interest
rate index. With respect to insurance, each of the Tax Free Funds will attempt
to have the issuer of the participation interest bear the cost of the
insurance, although the applicable Fund retains the option to purchase
insurance if necessary, in which case the cost of insurance will be an expense
of the Fund subject to the expense limitation of 2 1/2% of the first $30
million of the Fund's average net assets, 2% of the next $70 million and 1 1/2%
of the Fund's average net assets in excess of $100 million. The Adviser has
been instructed by the Trusts' Boards of Trustees to monitor continually the
pricing, quality and liquidity of the variable rate instruments held by the Tax
Free Funds, including the participation interests, on the basis of published
financial information and reports of the rating agencies and other bank
analytical services to which a Fund may subscribe. Although participation

<PAGE>

interests may be sold, each Tax Free Fund intends to hold them until maturity,
except under the circumstances stated above. Participation interests include
municipal lease obligations which are deemed to be illiquid unless otherwise
determined by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees. Purchase of a
participation interest may involve the risk that a Fund will not be deemed to
be the owner of the underlying Municipal Obligation for purposes of the ability
of to claim tax exemption of interest paid on that Municipal Obligation.

Periods of high inflation and periods of economic slowdown, together with
the fiscal measures adopted to attempt to deal with them, have brought wide
fluctuations in interest rates. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed
income securities generally falls; and vice versa. While this is true for
variable rate instruments generally, the variable rate nature of the underlying
instruments should minimize these changes in value. Accordingly, as interest
rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation and the risk
of potential capital depreciation is less than would be the case with a
portfolio of fixed income securities. Because the adjustment of interest rates
on the variable rate instruments is made in relation to movements of various
interest rate adjustment indices, the variable rate instruments are not
comparable to long-term fixed rate securities. Accordingly, interest rates on
the variable rate instruments may be higher or lower than current market rates
for fixed rate obligations of comparable quality with similar maturities.

Because of the variable rate nature of the instruments, when prevailing
interest rates decline each Tax Free Fund's yield will decline and its
shareholders will forgo the opportunity for capital appreciation. On the other
hand, during periods when prevailing interest rates increase, each Tax Free
Fund's yield will increase and its shareholders will have reduced risk of
capital depreciation.

For purposes of determining whether a variable rate instrument held by a
Tax Free Fund matures within 397 days from the date of its acquisition, the
maturity of the instrument will be deemed to be the longer of (1) the period
required before the Fund is entitled to receive payment of the principal amount
of the instrument after notice or (2) the period remaining until the
instrument's next interest rate adjustment, except that an instrument issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency thereof shall be deemed to have
a maturity equal to the period remaining until the next adjustment of the
interest rate. The maturity of a variable rate instrument will be determined in
the same manner for purposes of computing a Fund's dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity.

In view of the possible "concentration" of the Tax Free Funds (actual
concentration, in the case of Tax Free Reserves and Tax Free Reserves
Portfolio) in bank participation interests in Municipal Obligations secured by
bank letters of credit or guarantees, an investment in these Funds should be
made with an understanding of the characteristics of the banking industry and
the risks which such an investment may entail. Banks are subject to extensive
governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and
other financial commitments which may be made and interest rates and fees which
may be charged. The profitability of this industry is largely dependent upon
the availability and cost of capital funds for the purpose of financing lending
operations under prevailing money market conditions. Also, general economic
conditions play an important part in the operation of this industry and
exposure to credit losses arising from possible financial difficulties of
borrowers might affect a bank's ability to meet its obligations under a letter
of credit.

"WHEN-ISSUED" SECURITIES
Each of the Tax Free Funds (including Tax Free Reserves Portfolio for
purposes of this discussion) may purchase securities on a "when-issued" or
"forward delivery" basis. New issues of certain Municipal Obligations
frequently are offered on a "when-issued" or "forward delivery" basis. The
payment obligation and the interest rate that will be received on the Municipal
Obligations are each fixed at the time the buyer enters into the commitment
although settlement, i.e., delivery of and payment for the Municipal
Obligations, takes place beyond customary settlement time (but normally within
45 days after the date of the Fund's commitment to purchase). Although the Tax
Free Funds will only make commitments to purchase "when-issued" or "forward
delivery" Municipal Obligations with the intention of actually acquiring them,
the Funds may sell these securities before the settlement date if deemed
advisable by the Adviser.

Municipal Obligations purchased on a "when-issued" or "forward delivery"
basis and the securities held in a Tax Free Fund's portfolio are subject to
changes in value based upon the public's perception of the credit-worthiness of
the issuer and changes, real or anticipated, in the level of interest rates.
The value of these Municipal Obligations and securities generally change in the
same way, that is, both experience appreciation when interest rates decline and
depreciation when interest rates rise. Purchasing Municipal Obligations on a
"when-issued" or "forward delivery" basis can involve a risk that the yields
available in the market on the settlement date may actually be higher or lower

<PAGE>

than those obtained in the transaction itself. A separate account of a Tax Free
Fund consisting of cash or liquid debt securities equal to the amount of the
"when-issued" or "forward delivery" commitments will be established at the
Fund's custodian bank. For the purpose of determining the adequacy of the
securities in the account, the deposited securities will be valued at market
value. If the market value of such securities declines, additional cash or
highly liquid securities will be placed in the account daily so that the value
of the account will equal the amount of the Fund's commitments. On the
settlement date of the "when-issued" or "forward delivery" securities, the Tax
Free Fund's obligations will be met from then-available cash flow, sale of
securities held in the separate account, sale of other securities or, although
not normally expected, from sale of the "when-issued" or "forward delivery"
securities themselves (which may have a value greater or lesser than the Fund's
payment obligations). Sale of securities to meet such obligations may result in
the realization of capital gains or losses, which are not exempt from federal
income tax. An increase in the percentage of a Fund's assets committed to the
purchase of securities on a "when-issued" basis may increase the volatility of
its net asset value.

STAND-BY COMMITMENTS
When a Tax Free Fund (including Tax Free Reserves Portfolio for purposes
of this discussion) purchases Municipal Obligations it may also acquire
stand-by commitments from banks with respect to such Municipal Obligations. A
Tax Free Fund also may acquire stand-by commitments from broker-dealers. Under
the stand-by commitment, a bank or broker-dealer agrees to purchase at the
Fund's option a specified Municipal Obligation at a specified price. A stand-by
commitment is the equivalent of a "put" option acquired by a Tax Free Fund with
respect to a particular Municipal Obligation held in the Fund's portfolio.

The amount payable to a Tax Free Fund upon the exercise of a stand-by
commitment normally would be (1) the acquisition cost of the Municipal
Obligation (excluding any accrued interest paid on the acquisition), less any
amortized market premium or plus any amortized market or original issue
discount during the period the Fund owned the security, plus (2) all interest
accrued on the security since the last interest payment date during the period
the security was owned by the Fund. Absent unusual circumstances relating to a
change in market value, the Fund would value the underlying Municipal
Obligation at amortized cost. Accordingly, the amount payable by a bank or
dealer during the time a stand-by commitment is exercisable would be
substantially the same as the market value of the underlying Municipal
Obligation. Each Tax Free Fund values stand-by commitments at zero for purposes
of computing the value of its net assets.

The stand-by commitments that each Tax Free Fund may enter into are
subject to certain risks, which include the ability of the issuer of the
commitment to pay for the securities at the time the commitment is exercised
and the fact that the commitment is not marketable by the Fund and the maturity
of the underlying security will generally be different from that of the
commitment.

TAXABLE SECURITIES
Although each Tax Free Fund (including Tax Free Reserves Portfolio for
purposes of this discussion) attempts to invest 100% of its net assets in
tax-exempt Municipal Obligations, each Fund may invest up to 20% of the value
of its net assets in securities of the kind described below, the interest
income on which is subject to federal income tax. Circumstances in which a Tax
Free Fund may invest in taxable securities include the following: (a) pending
investment in the type of securities described above; (b) to maintain liquidity
for the purpose of meeting anticipated withdrawals; and (c) when, in the
opinion of the Fund's investment adviser, it is advisable to do so because of
adverse market conditions affecting the market for Municipal Obligations. The
kinds of taxable securities in which the Tax Free Funds' assets may be invested
are limited to the following short-term, fixed-income securities (maturing in
397 days or less from the time of purchase): (1) obligations of the U.S.
government or its agencies, instrumentalities or authorities; (2) commercial
paper rated Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's, A-1+, A-1 or A-2 by Standard &
Poor's or F-1+, F-1 or F-2 by Fitch; (3) certificates of deposit of U.S. banks
with assets of $1 billion or more; and (4) repurchase agreements with respect
to any Municipal Obligations or other securities which the Fund is permitted to
own. Each Tax Free Fund's assets may also be invested in Municipal Obligations
which are subject to an alternative minimum tax.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Each of the Tax Free Funds (including Tax Free Reserves Portfolio for
purposes of this discussion) may invest its assets in instruments subject to
repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are described in more detail
below. (See "Repurchase Agreements.")

RISK FACTORS AFFECTING INVESTMENT IN CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS
<PAGE>

California Tax Free Reserves intends to invest a high proportion of its
assets in California Municipal Obligations. Payment of interest and
preservation of principal is dependent upon the continuing ability of
California issuers and/or obligors of state, municipal and public authority
debt obligations to meet their obligations thereunder. For information
concerning California Municipal Obligations, see Appendix B to this Statement
of Additional Information.

The summary set forth above and in Appendix B is included for the purpose
of providing a general description of the State of California credit and
financial conditions. This summary is based on information from statements of
issuers of California Municipal Obligations and does not purport to be
complete. The Trust is not responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of this
information.

RISK FACTORS AFFECTING INVESTMENT In CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS
Connecticut Tax Free Reserves intends to invest a high proportion of its
assets in Connecticut Municipal Obligations. Payment of interest and
preservation of principal is dependent upon the continuing ability of
Connecticut issuers and/or obligors of state, municipal and public authority
debt obligations to meet their obligations thereunder. For information
concerning Connecticut Municipal Obligations, see Appendix C to this Statement
of Additional Information.

The summary set forth above and in Appendix C is included for the purpose
of providing a general description of the State of Connecticut credit and
financial conditions. This summary is based on information from statements of
issuers of Connecticut Municipal Obligations and does not purport to be
complete. The Trust is not responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of this
information.

RISK FACTORS AFFECTING INVESTMENT IN NEW YORK MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS
New York Tax Free Reserves intends to invest a high proportion of the its
assets in Municipal Obligations of the State of New York and its political
subdivisions, municipalities, agencies, instrumentalities and public
authorities. Payment of interest and preservation of principal is dependent
upon the continuing ability of New York issuers and/or obligors of state,
municipal and public authority debt obligations to meet their obligations
thereunder.

The fiscal stability of New York State is related, at least in part, to
the fiscal stability of its localities and authorities. Various State agencies,
authorities and localities have issued large amounts of bonds and notes either
guaranteed or supported by the State through lease-purchase arrangements, other
contractual arrangements or moral obligation provisions. While debt service is
normally paid out of revenues generated by projects of such State agencies,
authorities and localities, the State has had to provide special assistance in
recent years, in some cases of a recurring nature, to enable such agencies,
authorities and localities to meet their financial obligations and, in some
cases, to prevent or cure defaults. To the extent State agencies and local
governments require State assistance to meet their financial obligations, the
ability of the State to meet its own obligations as they become due or to
obtain additional financing could be adversely affected.

For further information concerning New York Municipal Obligations, see
Appendix D to this Statement of Additional Information. The summary set forth
above and in Appendix D is included for the purpose of providing a general
description of New York State and New York City credit and financial
conditions. This summary is based on information from statements of issuers of
New York Municipal Obligations and does not purport to be complete. The Trust
is not responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of this information.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Each of the Funds and Portfolios (other than U.S. Treasury Reserves and
U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio, which may not invest in repurchase
agreements) may invest its assets in instruments subject to repurchase
agreements only with member banks of the Federal Reserve System or "primary
dealers" (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S.
government securities. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the
Fund would acquire an underlying debt instrument for a relatively short period
(usually not more than one week) subject to an obligation of the seller to
repurchase and the Fund to resell the instrument at a fixed price and time,
thereby determining the yield during the Fund's holding period. This results in
a fixed rate of return insulated from market fluctuations during such period. A
repurchase agreement is subject to the risk that the seller may fail to
repurchase the security. Repurchase agreements may be deemed to be loans under
the 1940 Act. All repurchase agreements entered into by the Funds shall be
fully collateralized at all times during the period of the agreement in that
the value of the underlying security shall be at least equal to the amount of
the loan, including the accrued interest thereon, and the Fund or its custodian

<PAGE>

or sub-custodian shall have possession of the collateral, which the applicable
Trust's Board of Trustees believes will give it a valid, perfected security
interest in the collateral. Whether a repurchase agreement is the purchase and
sale of a security or a collateralized loan has not been definitively
established. This might become an issue in the event of the bankruptcy of the
other party to the transaction. In the event of default by the seller under a
repurchase agreement construed to be a collateralized loan, the underlying
securities are not owned by the Fund but only constitute collateral for the
seller's obligation to pay the repurchase price. Therefore, a Fund may suffer
time delays and incur costs in connection with the disposition of the
collateral. The Trusts' Boards of Trustees believe that the collateral
underlying repurchase agreements may be more susceptible to claims of the
seller's creditors than would be the case with securities owned by the Funds.
Repurchase agreements will give rise to income which will not qualify as
tax-exempt income when distributed by the Funds. A Fund will not invest in a
repurchase agreement maturing in more than seven days if any such investment
together with illiquid securities held by the Fund exceed 10% of the Fund's
total net assets. Repurchase agreements are also subject to the same risks
described herein with respect to stand-by commitments.

LENDING OF SECURITIES

Consistent with applicable regulatory requirements and in order to
generate income, each of the Funds and Portfolios may lend its securities to
broker-dealers and other institutional borrowers. Such loans will usually be
made only to member banks of the U.S. Federal Reserve System and to member
firms of the New York Stock Exchange (and subsidiaries thereof). Loans of
securities would be secured continuously by collateral in cash, cash
equivalents, or U.S. Treasury obligations maintained on a current basis at an
amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. The cash
collateral would be invested in high quality short-term instruments. Either
party has the right to terminate a loan at any time on customary industry
settlement notice (which will not usually exceed three business days). During
the existence of a loan, a Fund or Portfolio would continue to receive the
equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities
loaned and with respect to cash collateral would also receive compensation
based on investment of the collateral (subject to a rebate payable to the
borrower). Where the borrower provides a Fund or Portfolio with collateral
consisting of U.S. Treasury obligations, the borrower is also obligated to pay
the Fund or Portfolio a fee for use of the borrowed securities. The Fund or
Portfolio would not, however, have the right to vote any securities having
voting rights during the existence of the loan, but would call the loan in
anticipation of an important vote to be taken among holders of the securities
or of the giving or withholding of their consent on a material matter affecting
the investment. As with other extensions of credit, there are risks of delay in
recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail
financially. However, the loans would be made only to entities deemed by the
Adviser to be of good standing, and when, in the judgment of the Adviser, the
consideration which can be earned currently from loans of this type justifies
the attendant risk. In addition, a Fund or Portfolio could suffer loss if the
borrower terminates the loan and the Fund or Portfolio is forced to liquidate
investments in order to return the cash collateral to the buyer. If the Adviser
determines to make loans, it is not intended that the value of the securities
loaned by a Fund or Portfolio would exceed 33 1/3% of the value of its net
assets.

PRIVATE PLACEMENTS AND ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS

Each Fund and Portfolio may invest up to 10% of its net assets in
securities for which there is no readily available market. These illiquid
securities may include privately placed restricted securities for which no
institutional market exists. The absence of a trading market can make it
difficult to ascertain a market value for illiquid investments. Disposing of
illiquid investments may involve time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses,
and it may be difficult or impossible for a Fund or Portfolio to sell them
promptly at an acceptable price.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Trusts, on behalf of the Funds, and the Portfolios have each adopted
the following policies which may not be changed without approval by holders of
a "majority of the outstanding shares" of the applicable Fund or Portfolio,
which as used in this Statement of Additional Information means the vote of the
lesser of (i) 67% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or
Portfolio present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding "voting securities" of the Fund or Portfolio are present or
represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding "voting
securities" of the Fund or the Portfolio. The term "voting securities" as used
in this paragraph has the same meaning as in the 1940 Act. Whenever the Trust
is requested to vote on a change in the investment restrictions of a Portfolio
(or, in the case of Cash Reserves Portfolio and the Tax Free Funds, with
respect to the fundamental restrictions discussed under "Investment Policies"),
the Trust will hold a meeting of the corresponding Fund's shareholders and will

<PAGE>

cast its vote as instructed by the shareholders, or will otherwise vote Fund
interests in a Portfolio in accordance with applicable law. Each Fund will vote
the shares held by its shareholders who do not give voting instructions in the
same proportion as the shares of that Fund's shareholders who do give voting
instructions. Shareholders of the Funds who do not vote will have no effect on
the outcome of these matters.

CASH RESERVES

CitiFunds Trust III, on behalf of Cash Reserves, may not:

(1) Invest in equity securities (e.g., common stock, preferred stock,
options, warrants, puts, calls), voting securities, restricted securities,
corporate debt securities (e.g., bonds, debentures) other than those bank
securities and commercial paper referred to under "Investment Policies,"
local or state government securities (e.g., municipal bonds, state bonds),
commodities or commodity contracts, real estate, or securities of other
investment companies, except that the Trust may invest all or a portion of
the Fund's assets in a diversified, open-end management investment company
with substantially the same investment objective, policies and
restrictions as the Fund. The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, will not sell
securities short, write put or call options, engage in underwriting, or
invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control. The Trust, on
behalf of the Fund, will not make loans to other persons except that it
may acquire debt securities as discussed under "Investment Policies;"

(2) Purchase securities or obligations of any one issuer (other than
securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and
instrumentalities and repurchase agreements covering such securities) if
immediately after such purchase more than 5% of the value of its assets
would be invested in that issuer except that the Trust may invest all or a
portion of the Fund's assets in a diversified, open-end management
investment company with substantially the same investment objective,
policies and restrictions as the Fund;

(3) Borrow money except from banks as a temporary measure for
extraordinary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging) or in order to
meet unexpectedly heavy redemption requests in an amount not exceeding 15%
of the value of the Fund's assets and will not purchase any securities at
any time when the Fund's total outstanding borrowings from banks exceed 5%
of the Fund's gross assets. The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, will not
pledge its assets except to secure borrowings. While the Trust, on behalf
of the Fund, may borrow from its Custodian for the foregoing purposes, any
borrowing from the Custodian will be on terms no less favorable to the
Fund than those offered by the Custodian to comparable borrowers and on
terms which the Trust believes are not less favorable than those readily
obtainable elsewhere;

(4) Concentrate the Fund's investments in any particular industry,
but if it is deemed appropriate to the achievement of the Fund's
investment objective, up to 25% of the assets of the Fund (taken at market
value at the time of each investment) may be invested in any one industry,
provided that, if the Trust withdraws the Fund's investment from an
open-end management investment company with substantially the same
investment objective, policies and restrictions as the Fund, it will
invest at least 25%, and may invest up to 100%, of the assets of the Fund
in bank obligations; and provided, further, that nothing in this
Investment Restriction is intended to affect the Trust's ability to invest
100% of the Fund's assets in a diversified, open-end management investment
company with substantially the same investment objective, policies and
restrictions as the Fund;

(5) There is no limitation on investing in securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or
repurchase agreements covering those securities, except that the Trust, on
behalf of the Fund, will not acquire securities that are not readily
marketable or repurchase agreements calling for resale within more than 7
days if, as a result thereof, more than 10% of the value of its net assets
would be invested in such securities. The Trust, on behalf of the Fund,
may not invest in fixed time deposits maturing in more than seven calendar
days, and fixed time deposits maturing from two business days through
seven calendar days may not exceed 10% of the Fund's net assets.

Cash Reserves Portfolio may not:

(1) Borrow money, except that as a temporary measure for
extraordinary or emergency purposes the Portfolio may borrow from banks in

<PAGE>

an amount not to exceed 1/3 of the value of the net assets of the
Portfolio, including the amount borrowed (moreover, the Portfolio may not
purchase any securities at any time at which borrowings exceed 5% of its
total assets (taken at market value))(it is intended that the Portfolio
would borrow money only from banks and only to accommodate requests for
the withdrawal of all or a portion of a beneficial interest in the
Portfolio while effecting an orderly liquidation of securities);

(2) Purchase any security or evidence of interest therein on margin,
except that the Portfolio may obtain such short term credit as may be
necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities;

(3) Underwrite securities issued by other persons, except insofar as
the Portfolio may technically be deemed an underwriter under the
Securities Act of 1933 in selling a security;

(4) Make loans to other persons except (a) through the lending of
securities held by the Portfolio, but not in excess of 33 1/3% of the
Portfolio's net assets, (b) through the use of fixed time deposits or
repurchase agreements or the purchase of short term obligations, or (c) by
purchasing all or a portion of an issue of debt securities of types
commonly distributed privately to financial institutions; for purposes of
this paragraph 4 the purchase of short term commercial paper or a portion
of an issue of debt securities which are part of an issue to the public
shall not be considered the making of a loan;

(5) Purchase or sell real estate (including limited partnership
interests but excluding securities secured by real estate or interests
therein), interests in oil, gas or mineral leases, commodities or
commodity contracts in the ordinary course of business (the Portfolio
reserves the freedom of action to hold and to sell real estate acquired as
a result of the ownership of securities by the Portfolio);

(6) Concentrate its investments in any particular industry, but if it
is deemed appropriate for the achievement of its investment objective, up
to 25% of the assets of the Portfolio (taken at market value at the time
of each investment) may be invested in any one industry, except that the
Portfolio will invest at least 25% of its assets and may invest up to 100%
of its assets in bank obligations; or

(7) Issue any senior security (as that term is defined in the 1940
Act) if such issuance is specifically prohibited by the 1940 Act or the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, except as appropriate to
evidence a debt incurred without violating Investment Restriction (1)
above.

U.S. TREASUrY RESERVES

Neither CitiFunds Trust III, on behalf of U.S. Treasury Reserves, nor U.S.
Treasury Portfolio may:

(1) Borrow money, except that as a temporary measure for
extraordinary or emergency purposes either the Trust or the Portfolio may
borrow from banks in an amount not to exceed 1/3 of the value of the net
assets of the Fund or the Portfolio, respectively, including the amount
borrowed (moreover, neither the Trust (on behalf of the Fund) nor the
Portfolio may purchase any securities at any time at which borrowings
exceed 5% of the total assets of the Fund or the Portfolio, respectively
(taken in each case at market value)) (it is intended that the Fund and
the Portfolio would borrow money only from banks and only to accommodate
requests for the repurchase of shares of the Fund or the withdrawal of all
or a portion of a beneficial interest in the Portfolio while effecting an
orderly liquidation of securities);

(2) Purchase any security or evidence of interest therein on margin,
except that either the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, or the Portfolio may
obtain such short term credit as may be necessary for the clearance of
purchases and sales of securities;

(3) Underwrite securities issued by other persons, except that all
the assets of the Fund may be invested in the Portfolio and except insofar
as either the Trust or the Portfolio may technically be deemed an
underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in selling a security;

(4) Make loans to other persons except (a) through the lending of
securities held by either the Fund or the Portfolio, but not in excess of
33 1/3% of the Fund's or the Portfolio's net assets, as the case may be,
(b) through the use of repurchase agreements or the purchase of short term
obligations, or (c) by purchasing all or a portion of an issue of debt
securities of types commonly distributed privately to financial

<PAGE>

institutions; for purposes of this paragraph 4 the purchase of a portion
of an issue of debt securities which is part of an issue to the public
shall not be considered the making of a loan;

(5) Purchase or sell real estate (including limited partnership
interests but excluding securities secured by real estate or interests
therein), interests in oil, gas or mineral leases, commodities or
commodity contracts in the ordinary course of business (the Fund and the
Portfolio reserve the freedom of action to hold and to sell real estate
acquired as a result of the ownership of securities by the Fund or the
Portfolio);

(6) Concentrate its investments in any particular industry; provided,
that nothing in this Investment Restriction is intended to affect the

TAX FREE RESERVES

Tax Free Reserves may not:

(1) Make investments other than as described under "Investment
Policies" above or any other form of federal tax-exempt investment which
meets the Fund's high quality criteria, as determined by the Board of

disposition of securities, in an amount up to 15% of the value of the
Fund's total assets (including the amount borrowed) valued at market less
liabilities (not including the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing
was made. While borrowings exceed 5% of the value of the Fund's total
assets, the Fund will not make any investments. Interest paid on
borrowings will reduce net income;

(3) Pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber its assets,
except in an amount up to 15% of the value of its total assets and only to
secure borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes;

writing such options, except to the extent that securities subject to a

(5) Underwrite the securities of other issuers, except insofar as the
Fund may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in
disposing of a portfolio security (provided, however, that the Fund may
invest all of its assets in a diversified, open-end management investment
company with substantially the same investment objectives, policies and
restrictions as the Fund);

(6) Purchase or sell real estate, real estate investment trust
securities, commodities or commodity contracts, or oil and gas interests,
but this shall not prevent the Fund from investing in Municipal
Obligations secured by real estate or interests in real estate;

(7) Make loans to others, except through the purchase of Fund
investments, including repurchase agreements, as described under
"Investment Policies" above;

(8) Invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in the
securities of issuers where the entity providing the revenues from which
the issue is to be paid has a record, including predecessors, of fewer
than three years of continuous operation, except obligations issued or

(9) Invest more than 25% of its assets in the securities of "issuers"
in any single industry, provided that there shall be no limitation on the
purchase of Municipal Obligations or on obligations issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities. In addition,
the Fund reserves the freedom of action to invest more than 25% of its
assets in instruments (including without limitation participation
interests) issued by U.S. branches of domestic banks; or

(10) Invest in securities of other investment companies, except the
Fund may purchase unit investment trust securities where such unit trusts
meet the investment objectives and policies of the Fund and then only up

a merger, consolidation or acquisition of assets (provided, however, that
the Fund may invest all of its assets in a diversified, open-end
management investment company with substantially the same investment
objectives, policies and restrictions as the Fund).

Tax Free Reserves has adopted the following non-fundamental policy,
which may be changed without approval by a majority of the outstanding shares
of the Fund. Tax Free Reserves will not invest in a repurchase agreement
maturing in more than seven days or other illiquid securities if as a result
thereof the Fund's total illiquid assets (including repurchase agreements
maturing in more than seven days) would exceed 10% of the Fund's net assets.

Tax Free Reserves Portfolio may not:

(1) Borrow money, except that as a temporary measure for
extraordinary or emergency purposes borrow from banks in an amount not to
exceed 1/3 of the value of the net assets of the Portfolio, including the
amount borrowed (moreover, the Portfolio may not purchase any securities
at any time at which borrowings exceed 5% of its total assets (taken at
market value)); (it is intended that the Portfolio would borrow money only
from banks and only to accommodate requests for the withdrawal of all or a
portion of a beneficial interest in the Portfolio while effecting an

interests but excluding securities secured by real estate or interests
therein), interests in oil, gas or mineral leases, commodities or
commodity contracts in the ordinary course of business (the Portfolio
reserves the freedom of action to hold and to sell real estate acquired

Portfolio);

(6) Concentrate its investments in any particular industry, but
if it is deemed appropriate for the achievement of its investment
objective, up to 25% of the assets of the Portfolio (taken at market
value at the time of each investment) may be invested in any one
industry, except that the Portfolio will invest at least 25% of its
assets and may invest up to 100% of its assets in bank obligations; or

(7) Issue any senior security (as that term is defined in the

<PAGE>

For purposes of the investment restriction in paragraph (6) above, "bank
obligations" shall include bank participation interests in Municipal
Obligations.

CALIFORNIA TAX FREE RESERVES

CitiFunds Multi-State Tax Free Trust may not with respect to California
Tax Free Reserves:

(1) Make investments other than as described under "Investment
Policies" above or any other form of federal tax-exempt investment which
meets the Fund's high quality criteria, as determined by the Board of
Trustees and which is consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and
policies (provided, however, that the Trust may invest all or
substantially all of the Fund's assets in another registered investment
company having the same investment objective and policies and
substantially the same investment restrictions as the Fund).

(2) Borrow money. This restriction shall not apply to borrowings from
banks for temporary or emergency (not leveraging) purposes, including the
meeting of redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely
disposition of securities, in an amount up to 15% of the value of the
Fund's total assets (including the amount borrowed) valued at market less
liabilities (not including the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing
was made. While borrowings exceed 5% of the value of the Fund's total
assets, the Trust will not make any investments on behalf of the Fund.
Interest paid on borrowings will reduce net income.

(3) Pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber the Fund's
assets, except in an amount up to 15% of the value of the Fund's total
assets and only to secure borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes.

(5) Underwrite the securities of other issuers, except insofar as the
Trust may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in
disposing of a portfolio security of the Fund (provided, however, that the
Trust may invest all or substantially all of the Fund's assets in another
registered investment company having the same investment objective and
policies and substantially the same investment restrictions as the Fund).

(6) The Trust will not invest on behalf of the Fund in a repurchase
agreement maturing in more than seven days if any such investment together
with other illiquid securities held by the Fund exceed 10% of the Fund's
total net assets.

(7) Purchase or sell real estate, real estate investment trust
securities, commodities or commodity contracts, or oil and gas interests,
but this shall not prevent the Trust from investing in Municipal
Obligations secured by real estate or interests in real estate.

(8) Make loans to others, except through the purchase of portfolio
investments, including repurchase agreements, as described under
"Investment Policies" above.

(9) Purchase more than 10% of all outstanding voting securities of
any one issuer or invest in companies for the purpose of exercising
control, except that the Trust may invest all or substantially all of the
Fund's assets in another registered investment company having the same

restrictions as the Fund.

<PAGE>

substantially the same investment restrictions as the Fund. When the
assets and revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or other
political subdivision are separate from those of the government creating
the issuing entity and a security is backed only by the assets and
revenues of the entity, the entity would be deemed to be the sole issuer
of the security. Similarly, in the case of a private activity bond, if
that bond is backed only by the assets and revenues of the non-
governmental user, then such non-governmental user would be deemed to be
the sole issuer. If, however, in either case, the creating government or
some other entity, such as an insurance company or other corporate
obligor, guarantees a security or a bank issues a letter of credit, such a
guarantee or letter of credit would be considered a separate security and
would be treated as an issue of such government, other entity or bank.

(11) Invest in securities of other investment companies, except the
Trust may purchase on behalf of the Fund unit investment trust securities
(i.e., securities issued by an investment company which (i) is organized
under a trust indenture or contract of custodianship or similar
instrument, (ii) does not have a board of directors, and (iii) issues only
redeemable securities, each of which represents an undivided interest in a
unit of specified securities) where such unit trusts meet the investment
objectives and policies of the Fund and then only up to 5% of the Fund's
net assets, except as they may be acquired as part of a merger,
consolidation or acquisition of assets, except that the Trust may invest
all or substantially all of the Fund's assets in another registered
investment company having the same investment objectives and policies and
substantially the same investment restrictions as the Fund. As of the date
of this Statement of Additional Information, the Trust has no intention of
investing in unit investment trust securities on behalf of the Fund.

For purposes of the investment restrictions described in (9) and (10)
above, the issuer of a tax-exempt security is deemed to be the entity (public
or private) ultimately responsible for the payment of principal of and interest
on the security. If, however, the acting government or some other entity, such
as an insurance company or other corporate obligor, guarantees a security or a
bank issues a Letter of Credit, such a guarantee or Letter of Credit may, in
accordance with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules, be
considered a separate security and treated as an issue of such government,
other entity or bank.

CONNECTICUT TAX FREE RESERVES

CitiFunds Multi-State Tax Free Trust may not with respect to Connecticut
Tax Free Reserves:

(1) Make investments other than as described under "Investment
Policies" above or any other form of federal tax-exempt investment which
meets the Fund's high quality criteria, as determined by the Board of
Trustees and which is consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and
policies (provided, however, that the Trust may invest all or
substantially all of the Fund's assets in another registered investment
company having the same investment objective and policies and
substantially the same investment restrictions as the Fund).

(2) Borrow money. This restriction shall not apply to borrowings from
banks for temporary or emergency (not leveraging) purposes, including the
meeting of redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely
disposition of securities, in an amount up to 15% of the value of the
Fund's total assets (including the amount borrowed) valued at market less
liabilities (not including the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing
was made. While borrowings exceed 5% of the value of the Fund's total
assets, the Trust will not make any investments on behalf of the Fund.
Interest paid on borrowings will reduce net income.

<PAGE>

(6) Purchase or sell real estate, real estate investment trust
securities, commodities or commodity contracts, or oil and gas interests,
but this shall not prevent the Trust from investing in Municipal
Obligations secured by real estate or interests in real estate.

(7) Make loans to others, except through the purchase of portfolio
investments, including repurchase agreements, as described under
"Investment Policies" above.

(8) Purchase more than 10% of all outstanding voting securities of
any one issuer or invest in companies for the purpose of exercising
control, except that the Trust may invest all or substantially all of the
Fund's assets in another registered investment company having the same
investment objective and policies and substantially the same investment
restrictions as the Fund.

(9) Invest more than 25% of the Fund's assets in the securities of
"issuers" in any single industry, provided that the Trust reserves the
right to invest more than 25% of the Fund's assets in bank participation
interests and there shall be no limitation on the purchase of those
Municipal Obligations and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, except that the Trust
may invest all or substantially all of the Fund's assets in another
registered investment company having the same investment objective and
policies and substantially the same investment restrictions as the Fund.
When the assets and revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or
other political subdivision are separate from those of the government
creating the issuing entity and a security is backed only by the assets
and revenues of the entity, the entity would be deemed to be the sole
issuer of the security. Similarly, in the case of a private activity bond,
if that bond is backed only by the assets and revenues of the
non-governmental user, then such non-governmental user would be deemed to
be the sole issuer. If, however, in either case, the creating government
or some other entity, such as an insurance company or other corporate
obligor, guarantees a security or a bank issues a letter of credit, such a
guarantee or letter of credit may, in accordance with applicable SEC
rules, be considered a separate security and could be treated as an issue
of such government, other entity or bank.

(10) Invest in securities of other investment companies, except the
Trust may purchase on behalf of the Fund unit investment trust securities
(i.e., securities issued by an investment company which (i) is organized
under a trust indenture or contract of custodianship or similar
instrument, (ii) does not have a board of directors, and (iii) issues only
redeemable securities, each of which represents an undivided interest in a
unit of specified securities) where such unit trusts meet the investment
objectives and policies of the Fund and then only up to 5% of the Fund's
net assets, except as they may be acquired as part of a merger,
consolidation or acquisition of assets, except that the Trust may invest
all or substantially all of the Fund's assets in another registered
investment company having the same investment objectives and policies and
substantially the same investment restrictions as the Fund. As of the date
of this Statement of Additional Information, the Trust has no intention of
investing in unit investment trust securities on behalf of the Fund.

(11) Issue any senior security (as that term is defined in the 1940
Act) if such issuance is specifically prohibited by the 1940 Act or the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, except as appropriate to
evidence a debt incurred without violating Investment Restriction (2)
above.

For purposes of the investment restrictions described in (8) and (9)
above, the issuer of a tax-exempt security is deemed to be the entity (public
or private) ultimately responsible for the payment of principal of and interest
on the security. If, however, the acting government or some other entity, such
as an insurance company or other corporate obligor, guarantees a security or a
bank issues a Letter of Credit, such a guarantee or Letter of Credit may, in
accordance with applicable SEC rules, be considered a separate security and
treated as an issue of such government, other entity or bank.

<PAGE>

In addition, as a matter of non-fundamental policy, the Trust will not
invest on behalf of the Fund in securities that are not readily marketable,
such as fixed time deposits and repurchase agreements maturing in more than
seven days, if such investments together with other illiquid securities held by
the Fund exceed 10% of the Fund's total net assets.

NEW YORK TAX FREE RESERVES

CitiFunds Multi-State Tax Free Trust may not with respect to New York Tax
Free Reserves:

(2) Borrow money. This restriction shall not apply to borrowings
from banks for temporary or emergency (not leveraging) purposes,
including the meeting of redemption requests that might otherwise
require the untimely disposition of securities, in an amount up to 15%
of the value of the Fund's total assets (including the amount borrowed)
valued at market less liabilities (not including the amount borrowed)
at the time the borrowing was made. While borrowings exceed 5% of the
value of the Fund's total assets, the Trust will not make any
investments on behalf of the Fund. Interest paid on borrowings will
reduce net income.

(3) Pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber the
Fund's assets, except in an amount up to 15% of the value of the Fund's
total assets and only to secure borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes.

(4) Sell securities short or purchase securities on margin, or
engage in the purchase and sale of put, call, straddle or spread
options or in writing such options, except to the extent that
securities subject to a demand obligation and stand-by commitments may
be purchased as set forth under "Investment Policies" above.

(5) Underwrite the securities of other issuers, except insofar
as the Trust may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of
1933 in disposing of a portfolio security of the Fund.

(6) Purchase securities subject to restrictions on disposition
under the Securities Act of 1933 ("restricted securities"). The Trust
will not invest on behalf of the Fund in a repurchase agreement
maturing in more than seven days if any such investment together with
securities that are not readily marketable held by the Fund exceed 10%
of the Fund's total net assets.

(7) Purchase or sell real estate, real estate investment trust
securities, commodities or commodity contracts, or oil and gas
interests, but this shall not prevent the Trust from investing in
Municipal Obligations secured by real estate or interests in real
estate.

(8) Make loans to others, except through the purchase of
portfolio investments, including repurchase agreements, as described
under "Investment Policies" above.

(9) Purchase more than 10% of all outstanding voting securities
of any one issuer or invest in companies for the purpose of exercising
control.

(10) Invest more than 25% of the Fund's assets in the securities
of "issuers" in any single industry, provided that the Trust may invest
more than 25% of the Fund's assets in bank participation interests and
there shall be no limitation on the purchase of those Municipal
Obligations and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government, its agencies or instrumentalities. When the assets and
revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or other political
subdivision are separate from those of the government creating the
issuing entity and a security is backed only by the assets and revenues
of the entity, the entity would be deemed to be the sole issuer of the
security. Similarly, in the case of a private activity bond, if that
bond is backed only by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental
user, then such non-governmental user would be deemed to be the sole
issuer. If, however, in either case, the creating government or some
other entity, such as an insurance company or other corporate obligor,

<PAGE>

guarantees a security or a bank issues a letter of credit, such a
guarantee or letter of credit would be considered a separate security
and would be treated as an issue of such government, other entity or
bank.

(11) Invest in securities of other investment companies, except
the Trust may purchase on behalf of the Fund unit investment trust
securities (i.e., securities issued by an investment company which (i)
is organized under a trust indenture or contract of custodianship or
similar instrument, (ii) does not have a board of directors, and (iii)
issues only redeemable securities, each of which represents an
undivided interest in a unit of specified securities) where such unit
trusts meet the investment objectives and policies of the Fund and then
only up to 5% of the Fund's net assets, except as they may be acquired
as part of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of assets. As of the
date of this Statement of Additional Information, the Trust has no
intention of investing in unit investment trust securities on behalf of
the Fund.

For purposes of the investment restrictions described above, the issuer of
a tax-exempt security is deemed to be the entity (public or private) ultimately
responsible for the payment of principal of and interest on the security. If,
however, the acting government or some other entity, such as an insurance
company or other corporate obligor, guarantees a security or a bank issues a
Letter of Credit, such a guarantee or Letter of Credit may, in accordance with
applicable SEC rules, be considered a separate security and treated as an issue
of such government, other entity or bank.

If a percentage restriction or a rating restriction (other than a
restriction as to borrowing) on investment or utilization of assets set forth
above or referred to in the Prospectus is adhered to at the time an investment
is made or assets are so utilized, a later change in percentage resulting from
changes in the value of the securities held by a Fund or a Portfolio or a later
change in the rating of a security held by a Fund or a Portfolio is not
considered a violation of policy.

3. PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

Fund performance may be quoted in advertising, shareholder reports and
other communications in terms of yield, effective yield, tax equivalent yield,
total rate of return or tax equivalent total rate of return. All performance
information is historical and is not intended to indicate future performance.
Yields and total rates of return fluctuate in response to market conditions and
other factors.

Each Fund may provide annualized yield and effective yield quotations. The
yield of a Fund refers to the income generated by an investment in the Fund
over a seven-day period (which period is stated in any such advertisement or
communication). This income is then annualized; that is, the amount of income
generated by the investment over that period is assumed to be generated each
week over a 365-day period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. Any
current yield quotation of a Fund which is used in such a manner as to be
subject to the provisions of Rule 482(d) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, consists of an annualized historical yield, carried at least to the
nearest hundredth of one percent, based on a specific seven calendar day period
and is calculated by dividing the net change in the value of an account having
a balance of one share at the beginning of the period by the value of the
account at the beginning of the period and multiplying the quotient by 365/7.
For this purpose the net change in account value would reflect the value of
additional shares purchased with dividends declared on the original share and
dividends declared on both the original share and any such additional shares,
but would not reflect any realized gains or losses as a result of a Fund's
investment in a Portfolio or from the sale of securities or any unrealized
appreciation or depreciation on portfolio securities. The effective yield is
calculated similarly, but when annualized the income earned by the investment
during that seven-day period is assumed to be reinvested. The effective yield
is slightly higher than the yield because of the compounding effect of this
assumed reinvestment. Any effective yield quotation of a Fund so used shall be
calculated by compounding the current yield quotation for such period by
multiplying such quotation by 7/365, adding 1 to the product, raising the sum
to a power equal to 365/7, and subtracting 1 from the result.

U.S. Treasury Reserves and each Tax Free Fund may provide tax equivalent
yield quotations. The tax equivalent yield refers to the yield that a fully
taxable money market fund would have to generate in order to produce an
after-tax yield equivalent to that of a Fund. The use of a tax equivalent yield
allows investors to compare the yield of the Fund, the dividends from which may
be exempt from federal or state personal income tax, with yields of funds the
dividends from which are not tax exempt. Any tax equivalent yield quotation of
a Fund is calculated as follows: If the entire current yield quotation for such

<PAGE>

period is tax-exempt, the tax equivalent yield will be the current yield
quotation divided by 1 minus a stated income tax rate or rates. If a portion of
the current yield quotation is not tax-exempt, the tax equivalent yield will be
the sum of (a) that portion of the yield which is tax-exempt divided by 1 minus
a stated income tax rate or rates and (b) the portion of the yield which is not
tax-exempt. A Fund also may provide yield, effective yield and tax equivalent
yield quotations for longer periods.

Each Fund may provide its period and average annualized total rates of
return. The total rate of return refers to the change in the value of an
investment in a Fund over a stated period and is compounded to include the
value of any shares purchased with any dividends or capital gains declared
during such period. A total rate of return quotation for a Fund is calculated
for any period by (a) dividing (i) the sum of the net asset value per share on
the last day of the period and the net asset value per share on the last day of
the period of shares purchasable with dividends and capital gains distributions
declared during such period with respect to a share held at the beginning of
such period and with respect to shares purchased with such dividends and
capital gains distributions, by (ii) the public offering price on the first day
of such period, and (b) subtracting 1 from the result. Period total rate of
return may be annualized. An annualized total rate of return assumes that the
period total rate of return is generated over a one-year period. Any annualized
total rate of return quotation is calculated by (x) adding 1 to the period
total rate of return quotation calculated above, (y) raising such sum to a
power which is equal to 365 divided by the number of days in such period, and
(z) subtracting 1 from the result.

U.S. Treasury Reserves and each Tax Free Fund may provide tax equivalent
total rates of return. The tax equivalent total rate of return refers to the
total rate of return that a fully taxable money market fund would have to
generate in order to produce an after-tax total rate of return equivalent to
that of a Fund. The use of a tax equivalent total rate of return allows
investors to compare the total rates of return of a Fund, the dividends from
which may be exempt from federal or state personal income taxes, with the total
rates of return of funds the dividends from which are not tax exempt. Any tax
equivalent total rate of return quotation of a Fund is calculated as follows:
If the entire current total rate of return quotation for such period is
tax-exempt, the tax equivalent total rate of return will be the current total
rate of return quotation divided by 1 minus a stated income tax rate or rates.
If a portion of the current total rate of return quotation is not tax-exempt,
the tax equivalent total rate of return will be the sum of (a) that portion of
the total rate of return which is tax-exempt divided by 1 minus a stated income
tax rate or rates and (b) the portion of the total rate of return which is not
tax-exempt.

For advertising and sales purposes, Cash Reserves will use the performance
of Class N shares.

4. DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

The net asset value of each share of the Funds is determined on each day
on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. This determination is
normally made once during each such day as of 3:00 p.m., Eastern time, for Cash
Reserves and 12:00 noon, Eastern time, for the other Funds. Net asset value is
calculated for each class of Cash Reserves by dividing the value of each class'
net assets (i.e., the value of its assets, including its investment in a
Portfolio less its liabilities, including expenses payable or accrued) by the
number of the class' shares outstanding at the time the determination is made.
Net asset value is determined for each other Fund by dividing the value of the
Fund's net assets by the number of shares of the Fund outstanding at the time
the determination is made. On days when the financial markets in which the
Funds invest close early, each Fund's net asset value is determined as of the
close of these markets if such time is earlier than the time at which the net
asset value is normally calculated. As of the date of this Statement of
Additional Information, the Exchange is open for trading every weekday except
for the following holidays (or the days on which they are observed): New Year's
Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It is
anticipated that the net asset value of each share of each Fund will remain
constant at $1.00 and, although no assurance can be given that they will be
able to do so on a continuing basis, as described below, the Funds and
Portfolios employ specific investment policies and procedures to accomplish
this result.

The value of a Portfolio's net assets (i.e., the value of its securities
and other assets less its liabilities, including expenses payable or accrued)
is determined at the same time and on the same days as the net asset value per
share of the corresponding Fund is determined. The net asset value of a Fund's
investment in the corresponding Portfolio is equal to the Fund's pro rata share
of the total investment of the Fund and of other investors in the Portfolio
less the Fund's pro rata share of the Portfolio's liabilities.

The securities held by a Fund or Portfolio are valued at their amortized
cost. Amortized cost valuation involves valuing an instrument at its cost and
thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium. If fluctuating interest rates cause the market value of the securities
held by the Fund or Portfolio to deviate more than 1/2 of 1% from their value
determined on the basis of amortized cost, the applicable Trust's or
Portfolio's Board of Trustees will consider whether any action should be
initiated, as described in the following paragraph. Although the amortized cost
method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during which
the stated value of an instrument is higher or lower than the price the Fund or
Portfolio would receive if the instrument were sold.

Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the Trusts' and the Portfolios' Boards
of Trustees have established procedures to stabilize the value of the Funds'
and Portfolios' net assets within 1/2 of 1% of the value determined on the
basis of amortized cost. These procedures include a review of the extent of any
such deviation of net asset value, based on available market rates. Should that
deviation exceed 1/2 of 1% for a Fund or Portfolio, the applicable Trust's or
Portfolio's Board of Trustees will consider whether any action should be
initiated to eliminate or reduce material dilution or other unfair results to
investors in the Fund or Portfolio. Such action may include withdrawal in kind,
selling securities prior to maturity and utilizing a net asset value as
determined by using available market quotations. The Funds and Portfolios
maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less, do not purchase
any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than 397 days or (in the case
of all Funds and Portfolios other than U.S. Treasury Reserves and U.S. Treasury
Reserves Portfolio which may not invest in repurchase agreements) subject to a
repurchase agreement having a duration of greater than 397 days, limit their
investments, including repurchase agreements, to those U.S. dollar-denominated
instruments that are determined by the Adviser to present minimal credit risks
and comply with certain reporting and recordkeeping procedures. The Trusts and
Portfolios also have established procedures to ensure that securities purchased
by the Funds and Portfolios meet high quality criteria. (See "Investment
Objectives, Policies and Restrictions -- Investment Policies.")

Because of the short-term maturities of the portfolio investments of each
Fund, the Funds do not expect to realize long-term capital gains or losses. Any
net realized short-term capital gains will be declared and distributed to the
Funds' shareholders annually after the close of each Fund's fiscal year.
Distributions of short-term capital gains are taxable to shareholders as
described in "Certain Additional Tax Matters." Any realized short-term capital
losses will be offset against short-term capital gains or, to the extent
possible, utilized as capital loss carryover. Each Fund may distribute
short-term capital gains more frequently then annually, reduce shares to
reflect capital losses or make distributions of capital if necessary in order
to maintain the Fund's net asset value of $1.00 per share.

<PAGE>

It is expected that each Fund (and each class of a Fund) will have a
positive net income at the time of each determination thereof. If for any
reason a Fund's or a class' net income is a negative amount, which could occur,
for instance, upon default by an issuer of a portfolio security, the Fund would
first offset the negative amount with respect to each shareholder account in
that Fund or class from the dividends declared during the month with respect to
those accounts. If and to the extent that negative net income exceeds declared
dividends at the end of the month, the Fund would reduce the number of
outstanding Fund shares of that Fund or class by treating each shareholder as
having contributed to the capital of the Fund that number of full and
fractional shares in the shareholder's account which represents the
shareholder's share of the amount of such excess. Each shareholder would be
deemed to have agreed to such contribution in these circumstances by investment
in the Fund.

Subject to compliance with applicable regulations, the Trust and the
Portfolios have each reserved the right to pay the redemption price of shares
of the Funds or beneficial interests in the Portfolios, either totally or
partially, by a distribution in kind of readily marketable securities (instead
of cash). The securities so distributed would be valued at the same amount as
that assigned to them in calculating the net asset value for the shares or
beneficial interests being sold. If a holder of shares or beneficial interests
received a distribution in kind, such holder could incur brokerage or other
charges in converting the securities to cash.

Shareholders may redeem Fund shares by sending written instructions in
proper form (as determined by a shareholder's Shareholder Servicing Agent) to
their Shareholder Servicing Agents. Shareholders are responsible for ensuring
that a request for redemption is in proper form.

Shareholders may redeem or exchange Fund shares by telephone, if their
account applications so permit, by calling their Shareholder Servicing Agents.
During periods of drastic economic or market changes or severe weather or other
emergencies, shareholders may experience difficulties implementing a telephone
exchange or redemption. In such an event, another method of instruction, such
as a written request sent via an overnight delivery service, should be
considered. The Funds and each Shareholder Servicing Agent will employ
reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone
are genuine. These procedures may include recording of the telephone
instructions and verification of a caller's identity by asking for the
shareholder's name, address, telephone number, Social Security number, and
account number. If these or other reasonable procedures are not followed, the
Fund or the Shareholder Servicing Agent may be liable for any losses to a
shareholder due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. Otherwise, the
shareholders will bear all risk of loss relating to a redemption or exchange by
telephone.

The Trusts and the Portfolios may suspend the right of redemption or
postpone the date of payment for shares of a Fund or beneficial interests in a
Portfolio more than seven days during any period when (a) trading in the
markets the Fund or Portfolio normally utilizes is restricted, or an emergency,
as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC, exists making disposal of
the Fund's or Portfolio's investments or determination of its net asset value
not reasonably practicable; (b) the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other
than customary weekend and holiday closings); or (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension.

5. MANAGEMENT

Each Fund and Portfolio is supervised by a Board of Trustees. In each
case, a majority of the Trustees are not affiliated with the Adviser. In
addition, a majority of the disinterested Trustees of Cash Reserves, U.S.
Treasury Reserves and Tax Free Reserves are different from a majority of the
disinterested Trustees of their corresponding Portfolios.

The Trustees and officers of the Trusts and the Portfolios, their ages and
their principal occupations during the past five years are set forth below.
Their titles may have varied during that period. Asterisks indicate that those
Trustees and officers are "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of
a Trust or a Portfolio. Unless otherwise indicated below, the address of each
Trustee and officer is 21 Milk Street, Boston, Massachusetts. The address of
Cash Reserves Portfolio is Elizabethan Square, George Town, Grand Cayman,
British West Indies. The address of U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio and Tax
Free Reserves Portfolio is 21 Milk Street, Boston, Massachusetts.

28 and 28 funds and portfolios, respectively, in the family of open-end
registered investment companies advised or managed by Citibank.
(3) Mr. Robb was appointed as a trustee of CitiFunds Trust III and Tax
Free Reserves as of September 1, 1998.
(4) Mr. Woods resigned as a trustee of CitiFunds Trust III and Tax Free
Reserves as of September 1, 1998.

As of December __, 1998, all Trustees and officers as a group owned less
than 1% of each Fund's outstanding shares. As of the same date, more than 95%
of the outstanding shares of each Fund were held of record by Citibank or an
affiliate, as a Shareholder Servicing Agent of the Funds, for the accounts of
their respective clients.

The Declaration of Trust of each of the Trusts and the Portfolios provides
that such Trust or Portfolio, as the case may be, will indemnify its Trustees
and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with

<PAGE>

litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices with such
Trust or Portfolio, as the case may be, unless, as to liability to such Trust
or Portfolio or its respective investors, it is finally adjudicated that they
engaged in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in their offices, or unless with respect to
any other matter it is finally adjudicated that they did not act in good faith
in the reasonable belief that their actions were in the best interests of such
Trust or Portfolio, as the case may be. In the case of settlement, such
indemnification will not be provided unless it has been determined by a court
or other body approving the settlement or other disposition, or by a reasonable
determination, based upon a review of readily available facts, by vote of a
majority of disinterested Trustees of such Trust or Portfolio, or in a written
opinion of independent counsel, that such officers or Trustees have not engaged
in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of
their duties.

ADVISER

Citibank manages the assets of each Portfolio and CitiFunds Multi-State
Tax Free Trust pursuant to separate investment advisory agreements (the
"Advisory Agreements"). Subject to such policies as the Board of Trustees of
the Portfolios or Trust, as applicable, may determine, the Adviser manages the
securities of each Portfolio and California Tax Free Reserves, Connecticut Tax
Free Reserves and New York Tax Free Reserves and makes investment decisions for
each Portfolio and such Funds. The Adviser furnishes at its own expense all
services, facilities and personnel necessary in connection with managing each
Portfolio's and California Tax Free Reserves', Connecticut Tax Free Reserves'
and New York Tax Free Reserves' investments and effecting securities
transactions for each Portfolio and such Funds. Each of the Advisory Agreements
will continue in effect as long as such continuance is specifically approved at
least annually by the Board of Trustees of the applicable Portfolio or Trust or
by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable
Portfolio or Fund, and, in either case, by a majority of the Trustees of the
applicable Portfolio or Trust who are not parties to such Advisory Agreement or
interested persons of any such party, at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on the Advisory Agreement.

Each Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser may render services to
others. Each Advisory Agreement is terminable without penalty on not more than
60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice by the applicable Portfolio or
Trust when authorized either by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the applicable Portfolio or Fund or by a vote of a majority of
the Board of Trustees of the applicable Portfolio or Trust, or by the Adviser
on not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice, and will
automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. Each Advisory Agreement
provides that neither the Adviser nor its personnel shall be liable for any
error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any
investment or for any act or omission in the execution of security transactions
for the applicable Portfolio or Fund, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith
or gross negligence or reckless disregard of its or their obligations and
duties under the Advisory Agreement.

For its services under the Advisory Agreements, the Adviser receives
investment advisory fees, which are accrued daily and paid monthly, of 0.15% of
Cash Reserves Portfolio's and U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio's average daily
net assets and 0.20% of Tax Free Reserves Portfolio's, California Tax Free
Reserves', Connecticut Tax Free Reserves' and New York Tax Free Reserves'
average daily net assets, in each case on an annualized basis for the Fund's or
Portfolio's then-current fiscal year. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to
waive a portion of its investment advisory fee.

CASH RESERVES PORTFOLIO: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1996, 1997
and 1998, the fees paid to Citibank under the Advisory Agreement, after
waivers, were $2,713,691, $4,395,286 and $6,739,206, respectively.

U.S. TREASURY RESERVES PORTFOLIO: For the fiscal years ended August 31,
1996, 1997 and 1998, the fees paid to Citibank under the Advisory Agreement,
after waivers, were $373,944, $494,339 and $578,350, respectively.

TAX FREE RESERVES PORTFOLIO: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1996,
1997 and 1998, the fees paid to Citibank under the Advisory Agreement, after
waivers, were $737,021, $506,142 and $659,288, respectively.

CALIFORNIA TAX FREE RESERVES: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1996,
1997 and 1998, the fees paid to Citibank under the Advisory Agreement, after
waivers, were $4,795, $187,339 and $292,561, respectively.

<PAGE>

CONNECTICUT TAX FREE RESERVES: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1996,
1997 and 1998, the fees paid to Citibank under the Advisory Agreement, after
waivers, were $4,398, $141,986 and $173,117, respectively.

NEW YORK TAX FREE RESERVES: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1996,
1997 and 1998, the fees paid to Citibank under the Advisory Agreement, after
waivers, were $1,041,646, $1,144,036 and $1,316,731, respectively.

Citibank and its affiliates may have deposit, loan and other relationships
with the issuers of securities purchase on behalf of the Funds, including
outstanding loans to such issuers which may be repaid in whole or in part with
the proceeds of securities so purchased. Citibank has informed the Funds that,
in making its investment decisions, it does not obtain or use material inside
information in the possession of any division or department of Citibank or in
the possession of any affiliate of Citibank.

The Glass-Steagall Act prohibits certain financial institutions, such as
Citibank, from underwriting securities of open-end investment companies, such
as the Funds. Citibank believes that its services under the Investment Advisory
Agreements and the activities performed by it or its affiliates as Shareholder
Servicing Agents and sub-administrator are not underwriting and are consistent
with the Glass-Steagall Act and other relevant federal and state laws. However,
there is no controlling precedent regarding the performance of the combination
of investment advisory, shareholder servicing and sub-administrative activities
by banks. State laws on this issue may differ from applicable federal law and
banks and financial institutions may be required to register as dealers
pursuant to state securities laws. Changes in either federal or state statutes
or regulations, or in their interpretations, could prevent Citibank or its
affiliates from continuing to perform these services. If Citibank or its
affiliates were to be prevented from acting as the Adviser, sub-administrator
or a Shareholder Servicing Agent, the Funds or Portfolios would seek
alternative means for obtaining these services. The Funds do not expect that
shareholders would suffer any adverse financial consequences as a result of any
such occurrence.

ADMINIStRATORS

Pursuant to Administrative Services Agreements (the "Administrative
Services Agreements"), CFBDS provides the Trusts, U.S. Treasury Reserves
Portfolio and Tax Free Reserves Portfolio, and SFG provides Cash Reserves
Portfolio, with general office facilities, and CFBDS supervises the overall
administration of the Trusts, U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio and Tax Free
Reserves Portfolio and SFG supervises the overall administration of Cash
Reserves Portfolio, including, among other responsibilities, the negotiation of
contracts and fees with, and the monitoring of performance and billings of, the
independent contractors and agents of the Trusts and the Portfolios; the
preparation and filing of all documents required for compliance by the Trusts
and the Portfolios with applicable laws and regulations; and arranging for the
maintenance of books and records of the Trusts and the Portfolios. CFBDS and
SFG provide persons satisfactory to the Board of Trustees of the Trusts and the
Portfolios to serve as Trustees and officers of the Trusts and the Portfolios.
Such Trustees and officers may be directors, officers or employees of CFBDS,
SFG or their affiliates.

For these services, the Administrators receive fees accrued daily and paid
monthly of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of Cash Reserves and U.S.
Treasury Reserves, 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Tax Free Fund
and 0.05% of the assets of each Portfolio, in each case on an annualized basis
for the Fund's or the Portfolio's then-current fiscal year. However, each of
the Administrators may voluntarily agree to waive a portion of the fees payable
to it.

CASH RESERVES: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998,
the fees paid to CFBDS from the Fund under the Administrative Services
Agreement, after waivers, were $3,176,058, $4,429,870 and $5,538,777,

voluntarily waived.

U.S. TREASURY RESERVES: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1996, 1997
and 1998, the fees paid to CFBDS from the Fund under the Administrative
Services Agreement with the Trust, after waivers, were $747,957, $897,971 and

<PAGE>

respectively. For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1996 and 1997, the fees
payable to CFBDS under the Administrative Services Agreement with the
Portfolio, after waivers, were $180,025 and $79,252, respectively. For the

Administrative Services Agreement with the Portfolio were voluntarily waived.

CALIFORNIA TAX FREE RESERVES: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1996,
1997 and 1998, the fees paid to CFBDS from the Fund under the Administrative
Services Agreement with the Trust, after waivers, were $166,107, $301,183 and

Services Agreement with the Trust, after waivers, were $1,539,536, $1,711,547
and $1,872,505, respectively.

By Agreement, the Trusts acknowledge that the name CitiFunds is the
property of Citigroup Inc. and provide that if Citibank ceases to serve as the
Adviser of the Trusts, the Trusts and the Funds will change their respective
names so as to delete the word CitiFunds. The Agreements with the Trusts also
provide that Citibank may permit other investment companies in addition to the
Trusts to use the word "CitiFunds" in their names.

The Administrative Services Agreements with the Trusts continue in effect
as to a Fund if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by
the respective Trust's Board of Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of applicable Fund and, in either case, by a
majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested parties of the
Trust or CFBDS. The Administrative Services Agreements with the Trusts
terminate automatically if they are assigned and may be terminated as to a Fund
by the applicable Trust without penalty by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund or by either party on not more than
60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice. The Administrative Services
Agreements with the Trusts also provide that neither CFBDS nor its personnel
shall be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any act or
omission in the administration or management of the Trusts, except for willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its or their
duties or by reason of reckless disregard of its or their obligations and
duties under the Administrative Services Agreements.

CFBDS has agreed to reimburse the Funds (or any class of a Fund) for any
operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage, and extraordinary
expenses) which in any year exceed the limits prescribed by any state in which
the Funds' shares are qualified for sale. The expenses incurred by the Funds
for distribution purposes pursuant to the Trusts' Distribution Plans are
included within such operating expenses only to the extent required by any
state in which the Funds' shares are qualified for sale. The Trusts may elect
not to qualify each Fund's shares for sale in every state. The Trusts believe
that currently the most restrictive expense ratio limitation imposed by any
state is 2 1/2% of the first $30 million of a Fund's average net assets for its
then-current fiscal year, 2% of the next $70 million of such assets, and 1 1/2%
of such assets in excess of $100 million. For the purpose of this obligation to
reimburse expenses, the Fund's or class' annual expenses are estimated and
accrued daily, and any appropriate estimated payments will be made by CFBDS.
Subject to the obligation of CFBDS to reimburse the Funds for their excess
expenses as described above, the Trusts have, under their respective
Administrative Services Agreements, confirmed their obligation for payment of
all other expenses of the Funds.

The Administrative Services Agreements with the Portfolios provide that
CFBDS or SFG, as the case may be, may render administrative services to others.
The Administrative Services Agreement with each Portfolio terminates
automatically if it is assigned and may be terminated without penalty by a vote
of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio or by
either party on not more than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice.
The Administrative Services Agreement with each Portfolio also provides that
neither CFBDS or SFG, as the case may be, nor its personnel shall be liable for
any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any act or omission in the
administration or management of the Portfolio, except for willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its or their duties or by
reason of reckless disregard of its or their obligations and duties under the
Administrative Services Agreement.

CFBDS and SFG are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Signature Financial Group,
Inc.

<PAGE>

Pursuant to Sub-Administrative Services Agreements (the
"Sub-Administrative Agreements"), Citibank performs such sub-administrative
duties for the Trusts and the Portfolios as are from time to time agreed upon
by Citibank and, as the case may be, CFBDS or SFG. Citibank's
sub-administrative duties may include providing equipment and clerical
personnel necessary for maintaining the organization of the Trusts and the
Portfolios, participation in preparation of documents required for compliance
by the Trusts and the Portfolios with applicable laws and regulations,
preparation of certain documents in connection with meetings of Trustees and
shareholders of the Trusts and Portfolios, and other functions which would
otherwise be performed by CFBDS as set forth above. For performing such
sub-administrative services, Citibank receives such compensation as is from
time to time agreed upon by Citibank and, as the case may be, CFBDS or SFG not
in excess of the amount paid to CFBDS or SFG for its services under the
applicable Administrative Services Agreement. All such compensation is paid by
CFBDS or SFG, as the case may be.

DISTRIBUTOR

Each of the Trusts has adopted a Distribution Plan ("Distribution Plan")
in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act after having concluded that
there is a reasonable likelihood such Distribution Plan will benefit the
applicable Funds and their shareholders. Each Distribution Plan (other than the
Plan adopted by CitiFundsSM Trust III with respect to Class A and Class B
shares of Cash Reserves) provides that the applicable Trust shall pay a
distribution fee to the Distributor at an annual rate not to exceed 0.10% of
the average daily net assets of each Fund (exclusive of any advertising
expenses incurred by the Distributor in connection with the sale of shares of
each Fund). The Distributor may use all or any portion of such fee to pay for
Fund expenses of printing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes,
expenses of the preparation and printing of sales literature and other
distribution-related expenses, including, but not limited to, employee
salaries, bonuses and other overhead expenses.

The Distribution Plans (other than the Plan adopted by CitiFundsSM Trust
III with respect to Class A and Class B shares of Cash Reserves) also permit
each Fund to pay the Distributor an additional fee (not to exceed 0.10% per
annum of the average daily net assets) in anticipation of, or as reimbursement
for, print or electronic media advertising expenses incurred in connection with
the sale of Fund shares. No payments under a Distribution Plan are made to
Shareholder Servicing Agents, although Shareholder Servicing Agents receive
payments under the Administrative Services Plans referred to below.

The Distribution Plan for Cash Reserves provides that the Class A shares
and the Class B shares shall pay a distribution and/or service fee at an annual
rate not to exceed 0.20% and 0.75%, respectively, of the average daily net
assets of the Class A and Class B Shares. This fee may be used for payments to
the Distributor for distribution services, payments to securities dealers,
financial institutions and others for the sale of shares, payment for
advertising and marketing activities, payment for printing of prospectus and
reports used for sale purposes and payments to the Distributor, securities
dealers, financial institutions and others for providing services to
shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. The Class N shares of Cash
Reserves pay the same distribution fees as the other Funds (see above) and are
not subject to a service fee.

Each Distribution Plan continues in effect if such continuance is
specifically approved at least annually by a vote of both a majority of the
applicable Trust's Trustees and a majority of the Trust's Trustees who are not
"interested persons" of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial
interest in the operation of the Distribution Plan or in any agreement related
to the Plan ("Qualified Trustees"). Each Distribution Plan requires that the
applicable Trust and the Distributor shall provide to the Board of Trustees,
and the Board of Trustees shall review, at least quarterly, a written report of
the amounts expended (and the purposes therefor) under the Distribution Plan.
Each Distribution Plan further provides that the selection and nomination of
the Qualified Trustees is committed to the discretion of the disinterested
Trustees (as defined in the 1940 Act) then in office. Each Distribution Plan
may be terminated with respect to any Fund at any time by a vote of a majority
of the applicable Trust's Qualified Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund or, in the case of the Distribution
Plan in effect for Cash Reserves, the Distribution Plan with respect to a class
may be terminated by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities
of such class. A Distribution Plan of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of that Fund or class, as the case may be, and may not be materially
amended in any case without a vote of the majority of both the Trustees and the
Qualified Trustees. The Distributor will preserve copies of any plan, agreement
or report made pursuant to a Distribution Plan for a period of not less than
six years from the date of the Plan, and for the first two years the
Distributor will preserve such copies in an easily accessible place.

As contemplated by each Distribution Plan, CFBDS acts as the agent of the
Funds in connection with the offering of shares of the Funds pursuant to a
Distribution Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement"). After the prospectus and

<PAGE>

periodic reports have been prepared, set in type and mailed to existing
shareholders, the Distributor pays for the printing and distribution of copies
of the prospectuses and periodic reports which are used in connection with the
offering of shares of the each of the Funds to prospective investors. The
Prospectus contains a description of fees payable to the Distributor under the
Distribution Agreements. During the period they are in effect, each
Distribution Plan and Distribution Agreement obligates the applicable Funds to
pay distribution fees to CFBDS as compensation for its distribution activities,
not as reimbursement for specific expenses incurred. Thus, even if CFBDS's
expenses exceed its distribution fees for any Fund, the Fund will not be
obligated to pay more than those fees and, if CFBDS's expenses are less than
such fees, it will retain its full fees and realize a profit. Each Fund will
pay the distribution fees to CFBDS until either its Distribution Plan or
Distribution Agreement is terminated or not renewed. In that event, CFBDS's
expenses in excess of distribution fees received or accrued through the
termination date will be CFBDS's sole responsibility and not obligations of the
Fund. The Distributor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the fees
payable to it by Connecticut Tax Free Reserves and New York Tax Free Reserves
on a month-to-month basis.

CASH RESERVES: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998,
the fees paid from the Fund to the Distributor under the Distribution

after waivers, were $1,483 and $15,904, respectively, none of which was
applicable to print or electronic media advertising.

NEW YORK TAX FREE RESERVES: For the fiscal years ended August 31, 1996,
1997 and 1998, the fees paid from the Fund to the Distributor under the

respectively, none of which was applicable to print or electronic media
advertising.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENTS, TRANSFER AGENT AND CUSTODIAN

The Trusts have each adopted an Administrative Services Plan
("Administrative Plan") which provides that the applicable Trust may obtain the
services of an administrator, a transfer agent, a custodian, a fund accountant
and one or more Shareholder Servicing Agents, and may enter into agreements
providing for the payment of fees for such services. Under the Administrative
Services Plans, the total of the fees paid to each Administrator and
Shareholder Servicing Agent and the distribution fee and, if applicable, the
service fee paid to the Distributor (other than any fee concerning electronic
or other media advertising) may not, except with respect to the Class A and
Class B shares of Cash Reserves, exceed 0.70% of Cash Reserves' or U.S.
Treasury Reserves' average daily net assets or 0.60% of each Tax Free Fund's
average daily net assets on an annualized basis for the Fund's then-current
fiscal year, and the fees with respect to the Class A and Class B shares of
Cash Reserves, excluding any distribution or service fees, may not exceed 0.70%
and 0.70% respectively. Within this overall limitation, individual fees may
vary. Each Administrative Plan continues in effect if such continuance is
specifically approved at least annually by a vote of both a majority of the
applicable Trust's Trustees and a majority of the Trust's Trustees who are not
"interested persons" of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial
interest in the operation of the Administrative Plan or in any agreement
related to such Plan ("Qualified Trustees"). Each Administrative Plan requires
that at least quarterly the applicable Trust provide to its Board of Trustees
and the Board of Trustees review a written report of the amounts expended (and
the purposes therefor) under the

<PAGE>

Administrative Plan. Each Administrative Plan may be terminated with respect to
a Fund or a class at any time by a vote of a majority of the applicable Trust's
Qualified Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Fund or the class, as the case may be. An Administrative Plan
may not be amended to increase materially the amount of a Fund's or a class'
permitted expenses thereunder without the approval of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund or the class, as the case may be, and
may not be materially amended in any case without a vote of the majority of
both the applicable Trust's Trustees and Qualified Trustees.

Each Trust has entered into a shareholder servicing agreement (a
"Servicing Agreement") with each Shareholder Servicing Agent pursuant to which
that Shareholder Servicing Agent provides shareholder services, including
answering customer inquiries, assisting in processing purchase, exchange and
redemption transactions and furnishing Fund communications to shareholders. For
services provided under each Servicing Agreement, each Shareholder Servicing
Agent receives fees from each Fund at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average
daily net assets of the Fund represented by shares owned by investors for whom
such Shareholder Servicing Agent maintains a servicing relationship. Some
Shareholder Servicing Agents may impose certain conditions on their customers
in addition to or different from those imposed by the Funds, such as requiring
a minimum initial investment or charging their customers a direct fee for their
services. Each Shareholder Servicing Agent has agreed to transmit to its
customers who are shareholders of a Fund appropriate prior written disclosure
of any fees that it may charge them directly and to provide written notice at
least 30 days prior to imposition of any transaction fees. For the fiscal years
ended August 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, aggregate fees paid to Shareholder
Servicing Agents under the Servicing Agreements, after waivers, were as
follows: Cash Reserves $3,083,893, $4,065,240 and $5,026,036, respectively;
U.S. Treasury Reserves $737,500, $848,485 and $797,572, respectively; Tax Free
Reserves $976,208, $1,008,233 and $1,194,360, respectively; California Tax Free
Reserves $61,703, $459,224 and $619,577, respectively; Connecticut Tax Free
Reserves $50,991, $77,265 and $377,316, respectively; and New York Tax Free
Reserves $2,181,408, $2,405,573 and $2,634,965, respectively.

Each Trust and Portfolio has entered into a Transfer Agency and Service
Agreement and a Custodian Agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company
("State Street") pursuant to which State Street (or its affiliate State Street
Canada, Inc.) acts as transfer agent and custodian and performs fund accounting
services. State Street (or its affiliate State Street Canada, Inc.) calculates
the daily net asset value for the Funds and the Portfolios. Securities held for
a Fund or Portfolio may be held by a sub-custodian bank approved by the
applicable Trust's or Portfolio's Trustees.

The Portfolios also have adopted Administrative Services Plans (the
"Portfolio Administrative Plans") which provide that the Portfolios may obtain
the services of an administrator, a transfer agent, a custodian and a fund
accountant, and may enter into agreements providing for the payment of fees for
such services. Under the Portfolio Administrative Plans, the administrative
services fee payable to either CFBDS or SFG, as the case may be, may not exceed
0.05% of a Portfolio's average daily net assets on an annualized basis for its
then-current fiscal year. Each Portfolio Administrative Plan continues in
effect if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by a vote
of both a majority of the applicable Portfolio's Trustees and a majority of the
Portfolio's Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Portfolio and who
have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Portfolio
Administrative Plan or in any agreement related to such Plan ("Qualified
Trustees"). Each Portfolio Administrative Plan requires that the applicable
Portfolio provide to its Board of Trustees and the Board of Trustees review, at
least quarterly, a written report of the amounts expended (and the purposes
therefor) under the Portfolio Administrative Plan. Each Portfolio
Administrative Plan may be terminated at any time by a vote of a majority of
the Portfolio's Qualified Trustees or by a vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the applicable Portfolio. Neither Portfolio
Administrative Plan may be amended to increase materially the amount of
permitted expenses thereunder without the approval of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the applicable Portfolio and may not be
materially amended in any case without a vote of the majority of both the
Portfolio's Trustees and the Portfolio's Qualified Trustees.

6. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE PURCHASE
AND SALE OF CASH RESERVES SHARES.

CLASSES OF SHARES. Cash Reserves offers three classes of shares, Class A,
Class B and Class N shares. The main features of the classes are summarized in
this paragraph. More detailed information appears below. Please determine which
class of shares you are eligible for. Each class is offered only to investors

<PAGE>

who meet certain requirements. Class A shares are available only to holders of
Class A shares of other CitiFunds that wish to exchange their shares for shares
of Cash Reserves. Class B shares are available only to holders of Class B
shares of other CitiFunds that wish to exchange their Class B shares for shares
of Cash Reserves. These classes may therefore be convenient for shareholders
seeking a temporary investment vehicle pending an investment in the same class
of shares of another fund in the CitiFund family. Class N shares are generally
available for any purchases that are not made through an exchange. All Cash
Reserves shares held prior to January 4, 1999 have been redesignated Class N
shares. Class A and Class N shares have no sales charges and lower annual
expenses than Class B shares. Class B shares have no front-end sales charge,
but are subject to a deferred sales charge if you sell within six years of
purchase. Class B shares have higher annual expenses than Class A shares. Class
B shares automatically convert into Class A and Class N shares after eight
years. Each class of shares is sold at net asset value for that class. Net
asset value may differ by class because of the different expenses of the
classes.

When you place purchase orders, please specify what class you are eligible
for. If you own shares of more than one class in the Fund, and want to sell
shares, you should specify which class of shares you wish to sell. If you fail
to specify, Class N shares will be redeemed first followed by Class A shares,
and then Class B shares.

CLASS A SHARES:

o Class A shares are sold at net asset value without an initial
sales charge. There are no fees or deferred sales charges when
you sell your shares, unless you received your Class A shares in
exchange for Class A shares of another CitiFund on which there
was a deferred sales charge.

o Class A shares may pay distribution and service fees of up to
0.20% of the average daily net assets represented by Class A
shares.

CLASS B SHARES:

o Class B shares are sold at net asset value without a front-end
sales charge, but they are subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge when you sell your shares.

o Class B shares pay distribution and service fees of up to 0.75%
of the average daily net assets represented by the Class B shares.

o Class B shares have a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC)
that goes down the longer you hold your Class B shares. Your
CDSC is based on the CDSC applicable to the Class B shares of
the CitiFund that you owned before exchanging into Cash
Reserves. If you have exchanged your Class B shares more than
once, you will be charged the highest CDSC applicable to your
shares. See the chart below for the maximum amount of the sales
charge. The sales charge is deducted from your sale proceeds if
you sell your Class B shares within six years of purchasing
them.

- ---------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
REDEMPTION DURING CDSC ON SHARES BEING SOLD

- ---------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
1st year since purchase 5%

- ---------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
2nd year since purchase 4%

- ---------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
3rd year since purchase 3%

- ---------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
4th year since purchase 3%

- ---------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
5th year since purchase 2%

- ---------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
6th year since purchase 1%

- ---------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
7th year (or later) None
since purchase

- ---------------------------------- ----------------------------------------

o The CDSC is based on the original purchase price or the current
market value of the shares being sold, whichever is less.

o There is no CDSC on Class B shares representing capital
appreciation or on Class B shares acquired through reinvestment
of dividends or capital gains distributions.

o When you sell your Class B shares, shares on which the CDSC is not
payable, i.e. shares representing capital appreciation and shares
__ representing the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
/__/ distributions will be sold first followed by shares held for the
longest period of time, in order to minimize your CDSC.

<PAGE>

__
/__/ The holding period of your Class B shares acquired through an
exchange with another CitiFund will be calculated from the date
that the Class B shares were initially acquired in the other
CitiFund, and Class B shares being redeemed will be considered
to represent, as applicable, capital appreciation or dividend
and capital gains distribution reinvestments in the other fund.

o Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares of the
Fund approximately eight years after issuance, together with a
pro rata portion of all Class B shares representing dividends
and other distributions paid in additional Class B shares.
Shares are converted based on the relative net asset values per
share of the two classes on the first business day of the month
in which the eighth anniversary of the issuance of the Class B
shares occurs.

o The Fund's distributor will pay commissions to dealers of up to
4.00% of the purchase price of Class B shares purchased through
dealers. The distributor will also advance to dealers the first
year service fee at a rate of up to 0.25% of the purchase price
of the Class B shares. As a result, the maximum total amount
paid to a dealer upon the sale of Class B shares is 4.25% of the
purchase price of the shares.

CLASS B SHARES - CDSC ELIMINATION:

o Reinvestment. There is no CDSC on shares representing capital
appreciation or on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital
gains distributions.

o Waivers. The CDSC will be waived in connection with:

( ) exchanges into certain CitiFunds
( ) a total or partial redemption made within one year of the
death of the shareholder; this waiver is available where
the deceased shareholder is either the sole shareholder
or owns the shares with his or her spouse as a joint
tenant with right of survivorship, and applies only to
redemption of shares held at the time of death
( ) a lump sum or other distribution in the case of an
Individual Retirement Account (IRA), a self-employed
individual retirement plan (Keogh Plan) or a custodian
account under Section 403(b) or the Internal Revenue
Code, in each case following attainment of age 59 1/2
( ) a total or partial redemption resulting from any distribution
following retirement in the case of a tax-qualified retirement
plan
( ) a redemption resulting from a tax-free return of an excess
contribution to an IRA

EXCHANGES

o Shares of Cash Reserves may be exchanged for shares of the same class
of certain other CitiFunds that are made available by a shareholder's
Shareholder Servicing Agent, or may be acquired through an exchange of
shares of the same class of those funds. When you exchange your Class A
shares of Cash Reserves for Class A shares of another CitiFund, you will
be required to pay the difference between the sales charge payable on
those shares and the sales charge paid, if any, in connection with your
initial purchase of Class A shares. When you exchange your Class B shares
of Cash Reserves for Class B shares of another CitiFund, you will not pay
an initial sales charge, and no contingent deferred sales charge is
imposed when they are exchanged for Class B shares of certain other
CitiFunds that are made available by the shareholder's Shareholder
Servicing Agent. However, you may be required to pay a contingent deferred
sales charge when you sell those shares. You may exchange Class N shares
for shares of other CitiFunds, but you will be responsible for any front-
end or deferred sales charge on the shares you purchase.

7. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

The Portfolios' and CitiFunds Multi-State Tax Free Trust's purchases and
sales of portfolio securities usually are principal transactions. Portfolio
securities normally are purchased directly from the issuer or from an

<PAGE>

underwriter or market maker for the securities. There usually are no brokerage
commissions paid for such purchases. The Portfolios and CitiFunds Multi-State
Tax Free Trust do not anticipate paying brokerage commissions. Any transaction
for which a Portfolio or a Fund pays a brokerage commission will be effected at
the best price and execution available. Purchases from underwriters of
portfolio securities include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to
the underwriter, and purchases from dealers serving as market makers include
the spread between the bid and asked price.

Allocation of transactions, including their frequency, to various dealers
is determined by the Adviser in its best judgment and in a manner deemed to be
in the best interest of investors in the applicable Portfolio or Fund rather
than by any formula. The primary consideration is prompt execution of orders in
an effective manner at the most favorable price.

Investment decisions for each Portfolio and for CitiFunds Multi-State Tax
Free Trust will be made independently from those for any other account, series
or investment company that is or may in the future become managed by the
Adviser or its affiliates. If, however, a Portfolio or Fund and other
investment companies, series or accounts managed by the Adviser are
contemporaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, the
transactions may be averaged as to price and allocated equitably to each
account. In some cases, this policy might adversely affect the price paid or
received by the Portfolio or Fund or the size of the position obtainable for
the Portfolio or Fund. In addition, when purchases or sales of the same
security for a Portfolio or Fund and for other investment companies or series
managed by the Adviser occur contemporaneously, the purchase or sale orders may
be aggregated in order to obtain any price advantages available to large
denomination purchases or sales.

Portfolio transactions may be executed with the Adviser, or with any
affiliate of the Adviser, acting either as principal or as broker, subject to
applicable law. No commissions on portfolio transactions were paid by any
Portfolio or by CitiFunds Multi-State Tax Free Trust during the fiscal year
ended August 31, 1998 to the Adviser or any affiliate of the Adviser.

8. DESCRIPTION OF SHARES, VOTING RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES

Each Trust's Declaration of Trust permits the Trust's Board of Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest
(without par value) of each series and to divide or combine the shares of any
series into a greater or lesser number of shares of that series without thereby
changing the proportionate beneficial interests in that series. Currently, the
Funds are the only series of shares of each of the Trusts. Cash Reserves has
also issued three classes of shares. Each share of each class of Cash Reserves
represents an equal proportionate interest in the Fund with each other share of
that class. Each share of each other Fund represents an equal proportionate
interest in that Fund with each other share of the Fund. Upon liquidation or
dissolution of a Fund, the Fund's shareholders are entitled to share pro rata
in the Fund's net assets available for distribution to its shareholders. The
Trust reserves the right to create and issue additional series and classes of
shares. Shares of each series participate equally in the earnings, dividends
and distribution of net assets of the particular series upon the liquidation or
dissolution (except for any differences among classes of shares of a series).
Shares of each series are entitled to vote separately to approve advisory
agreements or changes in investment policy, but shares of all series may vote
together in the election or selection of Trustees and accountants for the
Trust. In matters affecting only a particular series or class, only shares of
that particular series or class are entitled to vote.

Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held on matters on
which they are entitled to vote. Shareholders in the Trust do not have
cumulative voting rights, and shareholders owning more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of a Trust may elect all of the Trustees of that Trust if
they choose to do so and in such event the other shareholders in the Trust
would not be able to elect any Trustee. The Trusts are not required and have no
current intention to hold annual meetings of shareholders, but the Trusts will
hold special meetings of a Fund's shareholders when in the judgment of the
Trust's Trustees it is necessary or desirable to submit matters for a
shareholder vote. Shareholders have under certain circumstances (e.g., upon
application and submission of certain specified documents to the Trustees by a
specified number of shareholders) the right to communicate with other
shareholders in connection with requesting a meeting of shareholders for the
purpose of removing one or more Trustees. Shareholders also have the right to
remove one or more Trustees without a meeting by a declaration in writing by a
specified number of shareholders. No material amendment may be made to a
Trust's Declaration of Trust without the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of its outstanding shares.

<PAGE>

Each Trust's Declaration of Trust provides that, at any meeting of
shareholders of the Trust or of any series of the Trust, a Shareholder
Servicing Agent may vote any shares of which it is the holder of record and for
which it does not receive voting instructions proportionately in accordance
with the instructions it receives for all other shares of which it is the
holder of record. Shares have no preference, pre-emptive, conversion or similar
rights. Shares, when issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, except as set
forth below.

Each Trust may enter into a merger or consolidation, or sell all or
substantially all of its assets (or all or substantially all of the assets
belonging to any series of the Trust), if approved by the vote of the holders
of two-thirds of the Trust's outstanding shares voting as a single class, or of
the affected series of the Trust, as the case may be, except that if the
Trustees of the Trust recommend such sale of assets, merger or consolidation,
the approval by vote of the holders of a majority of the Trust's or the
affected series' outstanding shares would be sufficient. A Trust or any series
of the Trust, as the case may be, may be terminated (i) by a vote of a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust or the affected series or
(ii) by the Trustees by written notice to the shareholders of the Trust or the
affected series. If not so terminated, each Trust will continue indefinitely.

Share certificates will not be issued.

Each Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts
business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a business trust
may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for its
obligations and liabilities. However, each Declaration of Trust contains an
express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the
applicable Trust and provides for indemnification and reimbursement of expenses
out of Trust property for any shareholder held personally liable for the
obligations of the Trust. Each Declaration of Trust also provides that the
applicable Trust shall maintain appropriate insurance (e.g., fidelity bonding
and errors and omissions insurance) for the protection of the Trust, its
shareholders, Trustees, officers, employees and agents covering possible tort
and other liabilities. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss
on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which both
inadequate insurance existed and the applicable Trust itself was unable to meet
its obligations.

Each Trust's Declaration of Trust further provides that obligations of the
Trust are not binding upon the Trustees individually but only upon the property
of the Trust and that the Trustees will not be liable for any action or failure
to act, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects a Trustee against any
liability to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties
involved in the conduct of his or her office.

Each Portfolio is organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New
York. Each Portfolio's Declaration of Trust provides that investors in the
Portfolio (e.g., other investment companies (including the corresponding Fund),
insurance company separate accounts and common and commingled trust funds) are
each liable for all obligations of the Portfolio. However, the risk of a Fund
incurring financial loss on account of such liability is limited to
circumstances in which both inadequate insurance existed and the applicable
Portfolio itself was unable to meet its obligations. It is not expected that
the liabilities of any Portfolio would ever exceed its assets.

Each investor in a Portfolio, including the corresponding Fund, may add to
or reduce its investment in the Portfolio on each business day. At 3:00 p.m.,
Eastern time, for Cash Reserves Portfolio, and 12:00 noon, Eastern time, for
U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio and Tax Free Reserves Portfolio, on each such
business day, the value of each investor's interest in the Portfolio is
determined by multiplying the net asset value of the Portfolio by the
percentage representing that investor's share of the aggregate beneficial
interests in the Portfolio effective for that day. Any additions or
withdrawals, which are to be effected on that day, are then effected. The
investor's percentage of the aggregate beneficial interests in the Portfolio is
then re-computed as the percentage equal to the fraction (i) the numerator of
which is the value of such investor's investment in the Portfolio as of 3:00
p.m. Eastern time, for Cash Reserves Portfolio, and 12:00 noon, Eastern time,
for U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio and Tax Free Reserves Portfolio, on such
day plus or minus, as the case may be, the amount of any additions to or
withdrawals from the investor's investment in the Portfolio effected on such
day, and (ii) the denominator of which is the aggregate net asset value of the
Portfolio as of 3:00 p.m., Eastern time, for Cash Reserves Portfolio, and 12:00
noon, Eastern time, for U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio and Tax Free Reserves
Portfolio, on such day plus or minus, as the case may be, the amount of the net
additions to or withdrawals from the aggregate investments in the Portfolio by
all investors in the Portfolio. The percentage so determined is then applied to
determine the value of the investor's interest in the Portfolio as of 3:00
p.m., Eastern time, for Cash Reserves Portfolio, and 12:00 noon, Eastern time,

<PAGE>

for U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio and Tax Free Reserves Portfolio, on the
following business day of the Portfolio.

9. CERTAIN ADDITIONAL TAX MATTERS

Each of the Funds has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each
year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Code, by
meeting all applicable requirements of Subchapter M, including requirements as
to the nature of the Fund's gross income, the amount of Fund distributions (as
a percentage of a Tax Free Fund's overall income and its tax-exempt income) and
the composition of the Fund's portfolio assets. Provided all such requirements
are met and all of a Fund's net investment income and realized capital gains
are distributed to shareholders in accordance with the timing requirements
imposed by the Code, no federal income or excise taxes generally will be
required to be paid by the Fund. If a Fund should fail to qualify as a
regulated investment company for any year, the Fund would incur a regular
corporate federal income tax upon its taxable income and Fund distributions
would generally be taxable as ordinary dividend income to shareholders. Each of
the Portfolios believes that it will not be required to pay any federal income
or excise taxes.

Investment income received by Cash Reserves from non-U.S. investments may
be subject to foreign income taxes withheld at the source; Cash Reserves does
not expect to be able to pass through to shareholders any foreign tax credits
or deductions with respect to those foreign taxes. The United States has
entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries that may entitle Cash
Reserves to a reduced rate of tax or an exemption from tax on these
investments. It is not possible to determine Cash Reserves' effective rate of
foreign tax in advance since that rate depends upon the proportion of the Cash
Reserves Portfolio's assets ultimately invested within various countries.

The portion of a Tax Free Fund's distributions of net investment income
that is attributable to interest from tax-exempt securities will be designated
by the Fund as an "exempt-interest dividend" under the Code and will generally
be exempt from federal income tax in the hands of shareholders so long as at
least 50% of the total value of the Fund's assets consists of tax-exempt
securities at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year.
Distributions of tax-exempt interest earned from certain securities may,
however, be treated as an item of tax preference for shareholders under the
federal alternative minimum tax, and all exempt-interest dividends may increase
a corporate shareholder's alternative minimum tax. Unless the Tax Free Fund
provides shareholders with actual monthly percentage breakdowns, the percentage
of income designated as tax-exempt will be applied uniformly to all
distributions by the Fund of net investment income made during each fiscal year
of the Fund and may differ from the percentage of distributions consisting of
tax-exempt interest in any particular month. Shareholders are required to
report exempt-interest dividends received from a Tax Free Fund on their federal
income tax returns.

Because each Fund expects to earn primarily interest income, it is
expected that no Fund distributions will qualify for the dividends received
deduction for corporations.

With respect to California Tax Free Reserves, under existing California
law, if, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, the Fund continues
to qualify for the special federal income tax treatment afforded regulated
investment companies and at least 50% of the value of the Fund's total assets
consist of California Exempt-Interest Securities, then "California
exempt-interest dividends" attributable to such securities will be exempt from
California personal income tax. A "California exempt-interest dividend" is any
dividend distributed by California Tax Free Reserves to the extent that it is
derived from the interest received by the Fund from California Exempt-Interest
Securities (less related expenses) and designated as such by written notice to
shareholders. Distributions other than "California exempt-interest dividends"
by California Tax Free Reserves to California residents will be subject to
California personal income tax. The foregoing is only a brief summary of some
of the important tax considerations generally affecting shareholders that are
subject to California personal income tax. Potential investors, including, in
particular, investors who may be subject to other taxes, such as California
corporate franchise tax. California corporate income tax or taxes of other
jurisdictions, should consult with their own tax advisers.

APPENDIX A

RATINGS OF MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS*

The ratings of Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Ratings Group
and Fitch IBCA, Inc. represent their opinions as to the quality of various debt
obligations. It should be emphasized, however, that ratings are not absolute
standards of quality. Consequently, Municipal Obligations with the same
maturity, coupon and rating may have different yields while Municipal
Obligations of the same maturity and coupon with different ratings may have the
same yield.

DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC'S TWO HIGHEST LONG-TERM DEBT
RATINGS:

Aaa -- Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They
carry the smallest degree of investment risk and generally are referred to as
"gilt edged". Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements
are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to
impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

Aa -- Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all
standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known
as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins
of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities, or fluctuation of
protective elements may be of greater amplitude, or there may be other elements
present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than the Aaa
securities.

Note: Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in the generic rating
classification Aa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the
higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range
ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that
generic rating category.

DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S tWO HIGHEST RATINGS OF STATE
AND MUNICIPAL NOTES:

Moody's ratings for state and municipal short-term obligations are designated
Moody's Investment Grade ("MIG"). Issues or the features associated with MIG or
MIG ratings are identified by date of issue, date of maturity or maturities or
rating expiration date and description to distinguish each rating from other
ratings. Each rating designation is unique with no implication as to any other
similar issue of the same obligor. MIG ratings terminate at the retirement of
the obligation while VMIG rating expiration will be a function of each issue's
specific structural or credit features.

MIG 1/VMIG 1 -- This designation denotes best quality. There is present strong
protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or
demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

MIG 2/VMIG 2 -- This designation denotes high quality. Margins of protection
are ample although not so large as in the preceding group.

DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.'S TWO HIGHEST SHORT-TERM DEBT
RATINGS:

Moody's short-term debt ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to
repay punctually senior debt obligations. These obligations have an original
maturity not exceeding one year, unless explicitly noted.

Issuers rated Prime-1 (or supporting institutions) have a superior ability
for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. Prime-1 repayment ability
will often be evidenced by many of the following characteristics: (1) leading
market positions in well established industries; (2) high rates of return on
funds employed; (3) conservative capitalization structure with moderate
reliance on debt and ample asset protection; (4) broad margins in earnings
coverage of fixed financial charges and high internal cash generation; and (5)
well established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources of
alternate liquidity.

Issuers rated Prime-2 (or supporting institutions) have a strong ability
for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. This will normally be
evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree.
Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more subject to
variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GrOUP'S TWO HIGHEST LONG-TERM DEBT
RATINGS:
<PAGE>

AAA -- An obligation rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the
obligation is extremely strong.

AA -- An obligation rated AA differs from the highest-rated obligations only
in small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial obligations is
very strong.

Plus (+) or Minus (-): The AA rating may be modified by the addition of a plus
or minus sign to show relative standing within the AA rating category.

DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GROUP'S tWO HIGHEST RATINGS OF STATE
AND MUNICIPAL NOTES:

A Standard & Poor's note rating reflects the liquidity factors and market
access risks unique to notes. Notes maturing in three years or less will likely
receive a note rating. Notes maturing beyond three years will most likely
receive a long-term debt rating. The following criteria will be used in making
that assessment:

- -- Amortization schedule -- the larger the final maturity relative to other
maturities, the more likely the issue is to be treated as a note.

- -- Source of payment -- the more dependent the issue is on the market for its
refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note.

Note rating symbols and definitions are as follows:

SP-1 -- Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Issues determined to
possess very strong characteristics are given a plus (+) designation.

SP-2 -- Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some
vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the
notes.

DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GRoUP'S TWO HIGHEST COMMERCIAL PAPER
RATINGS:

A Standard & Poor's commercial paper rating is a current assessment of the
likelihood of timely payment of debt having an original maturity of no more
than 365 days.

A-1 -- A short-term obligation rated A-1 is rated in the highest category by
Standard & Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment
on the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are
designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity to
meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.

A-2 -- A short-term obligation rated A-2 is somewhat more susceptible to the
adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than
obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to
meet its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.

DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GrOUP'S RATINGS OF TAX-EXEMPT DEMAND
BONDS:

Standard & Poor's assigns "dual" ratings to all debt issues that have a put
option or demand feature as part of their structure.

The first rating addresses the likelihood of repayment of principal and
interest as due, and the second rating addresses only the demand feature. The
long-term debt rating symbols are used for bonds to denote the long-term
maturity and the commercial paper rating symbols for the put option (for
example, "AAA/A-1+"). With short-term demand debt, Standard & Poor's rating
symbols are used with the commercial paper rating symbols (for example,
"SP-1+/A-1+").

DESCRIPTION OF FITCH IBCA, INC.'S TWO HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL LONG-TERM CREDIT
RATINGS:

When assigning ratings, Fitch IBCA considers the historical and prospective
financial condition, quality of management, and the operating performance of
the issuer and of any guarantor, any special features of a specific issue or
guarantee, the issue's relationship to other obligations of the issuer, as
well as developments in the economic and political environment that might
affect the issuer's financial strength and credit quality.

Variable rate demand obligations and other securities which contain a demand
feature will have a dual rating, such as "AAA/F1+". The first rating

<PAGE>

denotes long-term ability to make principal and interest payments. The second
rating denotes ability to meet a demand feature in full and on time.

AAA -- Highest credit quality. "AAA" ratings denote the lowest expectation
of credit risk. They are assigned only in the case of exceptionally strong
capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly
unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.

AA -- Very high credit quality. "AA" ratings denote a very low expectation of
credit risk. They indicate very strong capacity for timely payment of financial
commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable
events.

Plus (+) or Minus (-): "+" or "-" may be appended to a rating of "AA" to denote
relative status within the rating category.

DESCRIPTION OF FITCH IBCA, INC.'S TWO HIGHEsT INTERNATIONAL SHORT-TERM CREDIT
RATINGS:

A short-term rating has a time horizon of less than 12 months for most
obligations, or up to three years for U.S. public finance securities, and thus
places greater emphasis on the liquidity necessary to meet financial
commitments in a timely manner.

F1 -- Highest credit quality. Indicates the strongest capacity for timely
payment of financial commitments; may have an added "+" denote any
exceptionally strong credit feature.

F2 -- Good Credit Quality. A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the case
of the higher ratings.

*As described by the rating agencies. Ratings are generally given to securities
at the time of issuance. While the rating agencies may from time to time revise
such ratings, they undertake no obligation to do so.

APPENDIX B

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING
CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS

The following information is a summary of special factors affecting
investments in California Municipal Obligations. The sources of payment for
such obligations and the marketability thereof may be affected by financial or
other difficulties experienced by the State of California (the "State") and
certain of its municipalities and public authorities. This information does not
purport to be a complete description and is based on information from
statements relating to offerings of California issuers. CitiFunds California
Tax Free Reserves is not responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of this
information.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

From 1990-1993, the State suffered through a severe recession, the worst
since the 1930's, heavily influenced by large cutbacks in defense/aerospace
industries and military base closures and a major drop in real estate
construction. California's economy has been recovering and growing steadily
stronger since the start of 1994, to the point where the State's economic
growth is outpacing the rest of the nation. More than 300,000 nonfarm jobs were
added in the State in 1996, while personal income grew by more than $55
billion. Another 380,000 jobs are expected to be created in 1997. The
unemployment rate, while still higher than the national average, fell to the
low 6% range in mid-1997, compared to over 10% at the worst of the recession.

California's economic expansion is being fueled by strong growth in high-
technology industries, including computer software, electronics manufacturing
and motion picture/television production; growth is also strong in business
services, export trade, and manufacturing, with even the aerospace sector now
showing increased employment. The State's economy is now much more balanced and
diversified than it was during the 1980's. Nonresidential real estate
construction has grown rapidly in response to the growth in the economy.
Residential construction has been growing slowly since the depths of the
recession, but remains much lower (as measured by annual new unit permits) than
the late 1980's.

Moody's, Standard and Poor's and Fitch assigned their municipal bond

obligation bonds.

CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITS ON SPENDING AND TAXES

STATE APPROPRiATIONS LIMIT

The State is subject to an annual appropriations limit imposed by Article
XIII B of the State Constitution (the "Appropriations Limit"). The
Appropriations Limit does not restrict appropriations to pay debt service on
voter-authorized bonds.

Article XIII B prohibits the State from spending "appropriations subject
to limitation" in excess of the Appropriations Limit. "Appropriations subject
to limitation," with respect to the State, are authorizations to spend
"proceeds of taxes," which consist of tax revenues, and certain other funds,
including proceeds from regulatory licenses, user charges or other fees to the
extent that such proceeds exceed "the cost reasonably borne by that entity in
providing the regulation, product or service," but "proceeds of taxes" exclude
most State subventions to local governments, tax refunds and some benefit
payments such as unemployment insurance. No limit is imposed on appropriations
of funds which are not "proceeds of taxes," such as reasonable user charges or
fees and certain other non-tax funds.

Not included in the Appropriations Limit are appropriations for the debt
service costs of bonds existing or authorized by January 1, 1979, or
subsequently authorized by the voters, appropriations required to comply with
mandates of courts or the federal government, appropriations for qualified
capital outlay projects, appropriations of revenues derived from any increase

<PAGE>

in gasoline taxes and motor vehicle weight fees above January 1, 1990 levels,
and appropriations of certain special taxes imposed by initiative (e.g.,
cigarette and tobacco taxes). The Appropriations Limit may also be exceeded in
cases of emergency.

The State's Appropriations Limit in each year is based on the limit for
the prior year, adjusted annually for changes in State per capita personal
income and changes in population, and adjusted, when applicable, for any
transfer of financial responsibility of providing services to or from another
unit of government. The measurement of change in population is a blended
average of statewide overall population growth, and change in attendance at
local school and community college ("K-14") districts. The Appropriations Limit
is tested over consecutive two-year periods. Any excess of the aggregate
"proceeds of taxes" received over such two-year period above the combined
Appropriations Limits for those two years is divided equally between transfers
to K-14 districts and refunds to taxpayers.

PROPOSITION 98

On November 8, 1988, voters of the State approved Proposition 98, a
combined initiative constitutional amendment and statute called the "Classroom
Instructional Improvement and Accountability Act." Proposition 98 changed State
funding of public education below the university level and the operation of the
State Appropriations Limit, primarily by guaranteeing K-14 schools a minimum
share of General Fund revenues. Under Proposition 98 (as modified by
Proposition 111, which was enacted on June 5, 1990), K-14 schools are
guaranteed the greater of (a) in general, a fixed percent of General Fund
revenues ("Test 1"), (b) the amount appropriated to K-14 schools in the prior
year, adjusted for changes in the cost of living (measured as in Article XIII B
by reference to State per capita personal income) and enrollment ("Test 2"), or
(c) a third test, which would replace Test 2 in any year when the percentage
growth in per capita General Fund revenues from the prior year plus one half of
one percent is less than the percentage growth in State per capita personal
income ("Test 3"). Under Test 3, schools would receive the amount appropriated
in the prior year adjusted for changes in enrollment and per capita General
Fund revenues, plus an additional small adjustment factor. If Test 3 is used in
any year, the difference between Test 3 and Test 2 would become a "credit" to
schools which would be the basis of payments in future years when per capita
General Fund revenue growth exceeds per capita personal income growth.
Legislation adopted prior to the end of the 1988-89 Fiscal Year, implementing
Proposition 98, determined the K-14 schools' funding guarantee under Test 1 to
be 40.3 percent of the General Fund tax revenues, based on 1986-87
appropriations. However, that percentage has been adjusted to approximately 35
percent to account for a subsequent redirection of local property taxes, since
such redirection directly affects the share of General Fund revenues to
schools.

Proposition 98 permits the Legislature by two-thirds vote of both houses,
with the Governor's concurrence, to suspend the K-14 schools' minimum funding
formula for a one-year period. Proposition 98 also contains provisions
transferring certain State tax revenues in excess of the Article XIII B limit
to K-14 schools.

During the recent recession, General Fund revenues for several years were
less than originally projected, so that the original Proposition 98
appropriations turned out to be higher than the minimum percentage provided in
the law. The Legislature responded to these developments by designating the
"extra" Proposition 98 payments in one year as a "loan" from future years'
Proposition 98 entitlements, and also intended that the "extra" payments would
not be included in the Proposition 98 "base" for calculating future years'
entitlements. By implementing these actions, per-pupil funding from Proposition
98 sources stayed almost constant at approximately $4,200 from Fiscal Year
1991-92 to Fiscal Year 1993-94.

In 1992, a lawsuit was filed, called California Teachers' Association v.
Gould, which challenged the validity of these off-budget loans. The settlement
of this case, finalized in July, 1996, provides, among other things, that both
the State and K-14 schools share in the repayment of prior years' emergency
loans to schools. Of the total $1.76 billion in loans, the State will repay
$935 million by forgiveness of the amount owed, while schools will repay $825
million. The State share of the repayment will be reflected as an appropriation
above the current Proposition 98 base calculation. The schools' share of the
repayment will count as appropriations that count toward satisfying the
Proposition 98 guarantee, or from "below" the current base. Repayments are
spread over the eight-year period of 1994-95 through 2001-02 to mitigate any
adverse fiscal impact.

<PAGE>

Substantially increased General Fund revenues, above initial budget
projections, in the fiscal years 1994-95 and thereafter have resulted or will
result in retroactive increases in Proposition 98 appropriations from
subsequent fiscal years' budgets. Because of the State's increasing revenues,
per-pupil funding at the K-12 level has increased by about 22% from the level
in place from 1991-92 through 1993-94, and is estimated at about $5,150 per ADA
in 1997-98. A significant amount of the "extra" Proposition 98 monies in the
last few years have been allocated to special programs, most particularly an
initiative to allow each classroom from grades K-3 to have no more than 20
pupils by the end of the 1997-98 school year. There are also new initiatives
for reading skills and to upgrade technology in high schools.

SOURCES OF TAX REVENUE

The following is a summary of the State's major revenue sources.

PERSONAL INCOME TAX

The California personal income tax, which in 1995-96 contributed about 44
percent of General Fund revenues, is closely modeled after the federal income
tax law. It is imposed on net taxable income (gross income less exclusions and
deductions). The tax is progressive with rates ranging from 1 to 9.3 percent.
Personal, dependent, and other credits are allowed against the gross tax
liability. In addition, taxpayers may be subject to an alternative minimum tax
("AMT") which is much like the federal AMT. Legislation enacted in July 1991
added two new marginal tax rates, at 10 percent and 11 percent, effective for
tax years 1991 through 1995. After 1995, the maximum personal income tax rate
returned to 9.3 percent, and the AMT rate dropped from 8.5 percent to 7
percent.

The personal income tax is adjusted annually by the change in the consumer
price index to prevent taxpayers from being pushed into higher tax brackets
without a real increase in income.

SALES TAX

The sales tax is imposed upon retailers for the privilege of selling
tangible personal property in California. Sales tax accounted for about 34
percent of General Fund revenue in 1995-96. Most retail sales and leases are
subject to the tax. However, exemptions have been provided for certain
essentials such as food for home consumption, prescription drugs, gas delivered
through mains and electricity. Other exemptions provide relief for a variety of
sales ranging from custom computer software to aircraft.

BANK AND CORPORATION TAX

Bank and corporation tax revenues, which comprised about 13 percent of
General Fund revenue in 1995-96, are derived from the following taxes:

1. The franchise tax and the corporate income tax are levied at a 8.84
percent rate on profits for income years beginning on or after January 1, 1997.
The former is imposed on corporations for the privilege of doing business in
California, while the latter is imposed on corporations which do not do
business in the State but which derive income from California sources.

2. Banks and other financial corporations are subject to the franchise tax
plus an additional tax at the rate of 2.0 percent on their net income. This
additional tax is in lieu of personal property taxes and business license
taxes.

3. The alternative minimum tax ("AMT") is similar to that in federal law.
In general, the AMT is based on a higher level of net income computed by adding
back certain tax preferences. This tax is imposed at a rate of 6.65 percent
effective for income years beginning on or after January 1, 1997.

4. Sub-Chapter S corporations are taxed at 1.5 percent of profits.

INSURANCE TAX

The majority of insurance written in California is subject to a 2.35
percent gross premium tax. For insurers, this premium tax takes the place of

<PAGE>

all other State and local taxes except those on real property and motor
vehicles. Exceptions to the 2.35 percent rate are certain pension and profit-
sharing plans which are taxed at the lesser rate of 0.50 percent, surplus lines
and nonadmitted insurance at 3 percent and ocean marine insurers at 5 percent
of underwriting profits. Insurance taxes comprised approximately 2.4 percent of
General Fund revenues in 1995-96.

In November, 1988, voters approved Proposition 103, which mandated
reductions and rebates for certain property and casualty insurance premiums.
The measure also directed the State Board of Equalization to adjust the gross
premiums tax rate to compensate for any resultant decrease in insurance tax
revenue through the 1990 tax year. As a result, the State Board of Equalization
increased the gross premiums tax rate from 2.35 percent to 2.37 percent for the
1989 tax year and to 2.46 percent for the 1990 tax year. For 1991 and beyond,
the rate returned to 2.35 percent. Implementation of the offset rates used for
Proposition 103 resulted in a lawsuit which has now been settled. The Board of
Equalization anticipates claims of $33 million from this case will be paid by
the State.

OTHER TAXES

Other General Fund major taxes and license revenues include: Estate,
Inheritance and Gift Taxes, Cigarette Taxes, Alcoholic Beverage Taxes, Horse
Racing Revenues and trailer coach license fees. These other sources totaled
approximately 2.6 percent of General Fund revenues in the 1995-96 Fiscal Year.

SPECIAL FUND REVENUES

The California Constitution, codes and statutes specify the uses of
certain revenue. Such receipts are accounted for in various Special Funds. In
general, Special Fund revenues comprise three categories of income:

1. Receipts from tax levies which are allocated to specified functions,
such as motor vehicle taxes and fees and certain taxes on tobacco products.

2. Charges for special services to specific functions, including such
items as business and professional license fees.

3. Rental royalties and other receipts designated for particular purposes
(for example, oil and gas royalties).

Motor vehicle related taxes and fees accounted for about 60 percent of all
Special Fund revenue in 1995-96. Principal sources of this income are motor
vehicle fuel taxes, registration and weight fees and vehicle license fees.
During the 1995-96 Fiscal Year, $7.7 billion was derived from the ownership or
operation of motor vehicles. About $3.3 billion of this revenue was returned to
local governments. The remainder was available for various State programs
related to transportation and services to vehicle owners. These amounts include
the additional fees and taxes derived from the passage of Proposition 111 in
June 1990.

On November 8, 1988, voters approved Proposition 99, which imposed, as of
January 1, 1989, an additional 25 cents per pack excise tax on cigarettes, and
a new, equivalent excise tax on other tobacco products. The initiative requires
that funds from this tax be allocated to anti-tobacco education and research
and indigent health services, and environmental and recreation programs. The
Legislature, as part of the 1994-95 and 1995-96 Budget Acts, redirected part of
the Proposition 99 funds to indigent health care. These actions have been
blocked by court orders, and are currently before the appellate court, after
the State lost in trial court.

PRIOR FISCAL YEARS' FINANCIAL RESULTS

FISCAL YEARS PRIOR TO 1995-96

Pressures on the State's budget in the late 1980's and early 1990's were
caused by a combination of external economic conditions and growth of the
largest General Fund Programs -- K-14 education, health, welfare and
corrections -- at rates faster than the revenue base. These pressures could
continue as the State's overall population and school age population continue

<PAGE>

to grow, and as the State's corrections program responds to a "Three Strikes"
law enacted in 1994, which requires mandatory life prison terms for certain
third-time felony offenders. In addition, the State's health and welfare
programs are in a transition period as a result of recent federal and State
welfare reform initiatives.

As a result of these factors and others, and especially because a severe
recession between 1990-94 reduced revenues and increased expenditures for
social welfare programs, from the late 1980's until 1992-93, the State had a
period of budget imbalance. During this period, expenditures exceeded revenues
in four out of six years, and the State accumulated and sustained a budget
deficit in its budget reserve, the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties
("SFEU") approaching $2.8 billion at its peak at June 30, 1993. Between the
1991-92 and 1994-95 Fiscal Years, each budget required multibillion dollar
actions to bring projected revenues and expenditures into balance, including
significant cuts in health and welfare program expenditures; transfers of
program responsibilities and funding from the State to local governments;
transfer of about $3.6 billion in annual local property tax revenues from other
local governments to local school districts, thereby reducing State funding for
schools under Proposition 98; and revenue increases (particularly in the
1991-92 Fiscal Year budget), most of which were for a short duration.

Despite these budget actions, as noted, the effects of the recession led
to large, unanticipated deficits in the budget reserve, the SFEU, as compared
to projected positive balances. By the 1993-94 Fiscal Year, the accumulated
deficit was so large that it was impractical to retire it in one year, so a
two-year program was implemented, using the issuance of revenue anticipation
warrants to carry a portion of the deficit over the end of the fiscal year.
When the economy failed to recover sufficiently in 1993-94, a second two-year
plan was implemented in 1994-95, again using cross-fiscal year revenue
anticipation warrants to partly finance the deficit into the 1995-96 fiscal
year.

Another consequence of the accumulated budget deficits, together with
other factors such as disbursement of funds to local school districts
"borrowed" from future fiscal years and hence not shown in the annual budget,
was to significantly reduce the State's cash resources available to pay its
ongoing obligations. When the Legislature and the Governor failed to adopt a
budget for the 1992-93 Fiscal Year by July 1, 1992, which would have allowed
the State to carry out its normal annual cash flow borrowing to replenish its
cash reserves, the State Controller issued registered warrants to pay a variety
of obligations representing prior years' or continuing appropriations, and
mandates from court orders. Available funds were used to make
constitutionally-mandated payments, such as debt service on bonds and warrants.
Between July 1 and September 4, 1992, when the budget was adopted, the State
Controller issued a total of approximately $3.8 billion of registered warrants.

For several fiscal years during the recession, the State was forced to
rely on external debt markets to meet its cash needs, as a succession of notes
and revenue anticipation warrants were issued in the period from June 1992 to
July 1994, often needed to pay previously maturing notes or warrants. These
borrowings were used also in part to spread out the repayment of the
accumulated budget deficit over the end of a fiscal year, as noted earlier. The
last and largest of these borrowings was $4.0 billion of revenue anticipation
warrants which were issued in July, 1994 and matured on April 25, 1996.

1995-96 AND 1996-97 FISCAL YEARS

With the end of the recession, and a growing economy starting in 1994, the
State's financial condition improved markedly in the last two fiscal years,
with a combination of better than expected revenues, slowdown in growth of
social welfare programs, and continued spending restraint based on the actions
taken in earlier years. The last of the recession-induced budget deficits was
repaid, allowing the State's budget reserve (the "SFEU") to post a positive
cash balance for only the second time in the 1990's, totaling $281 million as
of June 30, 1997. The State's cash position also returned to health, as cash
flow borrowing was limited to $3 billion in 1996-97, and no deficit borrowing
has occurred over the end of these last two fiscal years.

In each of these two fiscal years, the State budget contained the
following major features:

1. Expenditures for K-14 schools grew significantly, as the new revenues
were directed to school spending under Proposition 98. This new money allowed
several new education initiatives to be funded, and raised K-12 per-pupil
spending to around $4,900 by Fiscal Year 1996-97.

<PAGE>

2. The budgets restrained health and welfare spending levels, holding to
the reduced benefit levels enacted in earlier years, and attempted to reduce
General Fund spending by calling for greater support from the federal
government. The State also attempted to shift to the federal government a
larger share of the cost of incarceration and social services for illegal
aliens. Some of these efforts were successful, and federal welfare reform also
helped, but as a whole the federal support never reached the levels anticipated
when the budgets were enacted. These funding shortfalls were, however, filled
by the strong revenue collections, which exceeded expectations.

3. General Fund support for the University of California and California
State Universities grew by an average of 5.2 percent and 3.3 percent per year,
respectively, and there were no increases in student fees.

4. General Fund support for the Department of Corrections grew as needed
to meet increased prison population. No new prisons were approved for
construction, however.

5. There were no tax increases, and starting January 1, 1997, there was a
5 percent cut in corporate taxes. The suspension of the Renter's Tax Credit,
first taken as a cost-saving measure during the recession, was continued.

As noted, the economy grew strongly during these fiscal years, and as a
result, the General Fund took in substantially greater tax revenues (around
$2.2 billion in 1995-96 and $1.6 billion in 1996-97) than were initially
planned when the budgets were enacted. These additional funds were largely
directed to school spending as mandated by Proposition 98, and to make up
shortfalls from reduced federal health and welfare aid. As a result, there was
not any dramatic increase in budget reserves, although the accumulated budget
deficit from the recession years was finally eliminated in the past fiscal
year.

CURRENT STATE BUDGET

The discussion below of the 1997-98 Fiscal Year budget is based on
estimates and projections of revenues and expenditures for the current fiscal
year and must not be construed as statements of fact. These estimates and
projections are based upon various assumptions which may be affected by
numerous factors, including future economic conditions in the State and the
nation, and there can be no assurance that the estimates will be achieved. See
"Economic Considerations" below.

1997-98 FISCAL YEAR

Background

On January 9, 1997, the Governor released his proposed budget for the
1997-98 Fiscal Year (the "Proposed Budget"). The Proposed Budget estimated
General Fund revenues and transfers of about $50.7 billion, and proposed
expenditures of $50.3 billion, which would leave a budget reserve in the SFEU
of about $550 million. The Proposed Budget included provisions for a further
10% cut in Bank and Corporation Taxes, which ultimately was not enacted by the
Legislature.

At the time of the May Revision, released on May 14, 1997, the Department
of Finance increased its revenue estimate for the upcoming fiscal year by $1.3
billion, in response to the continued strong growth in the State's economy.
Budget negotiations continued into the summer, with major issues to be resolved
including final agreement on State welfare reform, increase in State employee
salaries and consideration of a tax cut proposed by the Governor. In May, 1997,
action was taken by the California Supreme Court in an ongoing lawsuit, PERS v.
Wilson, which made final a judgment against the State requiring an immediate
payment from the General Fund to the Public Employees Retirement Fund ("PERF")
to make up certain deferrals in annual retirement fund contributions which had
been legislated in earlier years for budget savings, and which the courts found
to be unconstitutional. On July 30, 1997, following a direction from the
Governor, the Controller transferred $1.235 billion from the General Fund to
the PERF in satisfaction of the judgment, representing the principal amount of
the improperly deferred payments from 1995-96 and 1996-97.

Fiscal Year 1997-98 Budget Act

<PAGE>

Once the pension payment eliminated essentially all the "increased"
revenue in the budget, final agreement was reached within a few weeks on the
welfare package and the remainder of the budget. The Legislature passed the
Budget Bill on August 11, 1997, along with numerous related bills to implement
its provisions. On August 18, 1997, the Governor signed the Budget Act, but
vetoed about $314 million of specific spending items, primarily in health and
welfare and education areas from both the General Fund and Special Funds.

The Budget Act anticipates General Fund revenues and transfers of $52.5
billion (a 6.8 percent increase over the final 1996-97 amount), and
expenditures of $52.8 billion (an 8.0 percent increase from the 1996-97
levels). On a budgetary basis, the budget reserve (SFEU) is projected to
decrease from $408 million at June 30, 1997 to $112 million at June 30, 1998.
The Budget Act also includes Special Fund expenditures of $14.4 billion (as
against estimated Special Fund revenues of $14.0 billion), and $2.1 billion of
expenditures from various Bond Funds. Following enactment of the Budget Act,
the State implemented its normal annual cash flow borrowing program, issuing $3
billion of notes which mature on June 30, 1998.

The following are major features of the 1997-98 Budget Act:

1. For the second year in a row, the Budget contains a large increase in
funding for K-14 education under Proposition 98, reflecting strong revenues
which have exceeded initial budgeted amounts. Part of the nearly $1.75 billion
in increased spending is allocated to prior fiscal years. Funds are provided to
fully pay for the cost-of-living-increase component of Proposition 98, and to
extend the class size reduction and reading initiatives.

2. The Budget Act reflects the $1.235 billion pension case judgment
payment, and brings funding of the State's pension contribution back to the
quarterly basis which existed prior to the deferral actions which were
invalidated by the courts. There is no provision for any additional payments
relating to this court case.

3. Continuing the third year of a four-year "compact" which the
Administration has made with higher education units, funding from the General
Fund for the University of California and California State University has
increased by about 6 percent ($121 million and $107 million, respectively), and
there was no increase in student fees.

4. Because of the effect of the pension payment, most other State programs
were continued at 1996-97 levels, adjusted for caseload changes.

5. Health and welfare costs are contained, continuing generally the grant
levels from prior years, as part of the initial implementation of the new
CalWORKs program.

6. Unlike prior years, this Budget Act does not depend on uncertain
federal budget actions. About $300 million in federal funds, already included
in the federal Fiscal Year 1997 and 1998 budgets, are included in the Budget
Act, to offset incarceration costs for illegal aliens.

7. The Budget Act contains no tax increases, and no tax reductions. The
Renters Tax Credit was suspended for another year, saving approximately $500
million.

Prior to the end of the Legislative Session on September 13, 1997, the
Legislature passed a bill restoring $203 million of education-related
expenditures which the Governor had vetoed in the original Budget Act, based on
agreement with the Governor on an education testing program. The Governor
signed several bills implementing a new education testing program, and is
expected to sign the bill to restore the funding. The Legislature also passed a
bill to restore $48 million of welfare cost savings which had been part of
earlier legislation vetoed by the Governor. This bill was signed by the
Governor in early October.

Also prior to the end of the Legislative Session, the Legislature passed
several bills encompassing a coordinated package of fiscal reforms, mostly to
take effect after the 1997-98 Fiscal Year. Included in the package are a
variety of phased-in tax cuts, conformity with certain provisions of the

<PAGE>

federal tax reform law passed earlier in the year, and reform of funding for
county trial courts, with the State to assume greater financial responsibility.
The Governor signed most of these bills in early October. The Department of
Finance estimates that the major impact of these fiscal reforms will occur in
Fiscal Year 1998-99 and subsequent years. The Department further estimates that
a small projected revenue loss in Fiscal Year 1997-98 will be more than offset
by increased Personal Income Tax receipts which will be generated by the new,
more favorable federal and state capital gains tax rates.

ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS

The State's economy is continuing to experience strong, sustained growth.
Nonfarm wage and salary employment increased at an annual rate of 400,000 jobs
in this year's first quarter. The March 1997 unemployment rate of 6.5 percent
was a full percentage point lower than a year ago.

The more vigorous national economy and strong first-quarter California job
growth has resulted in an upward revision to the California forecast. This
year, the state is on course to add 380,000 new jobs, 50,000 more than in the
January budget. In 1998, the State is expected to create an additional 300,000
jobs, up from 250,000 in the January forecast. Thus, employment growth for the
next two years has been increased by 100,000 over the January budget, to a gain
of 680,000 new jobs.

The revised 1997 unemployment rate of 6.3 percent is a half-percent lower
than the January forecast, and the revised 1998 rate of 5.8 percent is nearly a
full percentage point lower than was forecast in January. Personal income
growth is revised up by 0.2 percentage point in both 1997 and 1998, a rate that
continues to outpace the nation's growth rate.

The State is benefiting from a unique industry mix that includes a wide
array of high-technology manufacturing and service sectors, including
electronic components, computers, instruments, software, motion pictures,
multimedia and biotechnology. Growth in these industries has more than offset
losses resulting from severe cuts in the nation's defense budget, which
contributed to a 67-percent drop in aerospace employment between 1988 and 1995.

From the recession's low point in late 1993, California's economy has
created more than one million new jobs through March 1997, and has eclipsed the
previous May 1990 employment peak by nearly 300,000. The State's economy is
marking another milestone this year: gross state product is now exceeding the
one trillion dollar level -- the first time any state has achieved this
magnitude of economic output.

Many of the new high-growth industries are also high-wage industries.
Wages in computer manufacturing average more than $64,000 per year; in software
and multimedia industries, more than $68,000; in biotechnology, more than
$60,000; and in motion picture production, more than $65,000. Growth in these
high-wage jobs resulted in total wages increasing by more than double the rise
in total employment in 1996.

Employment in manufacturing increased by 3.3 percent in 1996 -- a gain of
almost 60,000 jobs. This represents the best job gain since 1984 and is in
sharp contrast to a loss of nearly 250,000 factory jobs in the other 49 states.
The long decline in aerospace appears to have bottomed out -- the industry
added 1,400 jobs over the past year reflecting a pickup in the commercial
segment of the business.

International trade also contributes to the State's economic growth. In
spite of a stronger dollar and sluggish economic performance by many industrial
trading partners, foreign trade through California ports continued to expand in
1996 -- with total trade volume of just under $300 billion. Exports shipped via
California ports grew by 6.3 percent and imports rose by 2.9 percent over 1995.
Importantly, exports of California-made goods -- shipped from California and
elsewhere -- rose more than 8 percent in 1997, nearly double the growth of
exports nationwide.

California inflation has been revised down 0.4 percentage point compared
to the January forecast. This is less than the revision to national inflation
and is due to housing cost pressures in the Bay Area.

Highlights of the California forecast include:

<PAGE>

o Employment is projected to grow faster than the nation for the next two
years, with an increase of 3 percent in 1997 and 2.3 percent in 1998 --
680,000 new jobs over the next two years. Unemployment is expected to drop
to 6 percent by the end of 1997.

o Personal income growth is expected to remain strong -- increasing by
6.8 percent in 1997 and 6.1 percent in 1998.

o Inflation will remain below the national average. Consumer prices in
California are expected to increase by 2.3 percent in 1997 and 1998. Real
purchasing power, therefore, will rise by an average of more than 4 percent
per year over the next two years.

o Homebuilding is forecast to increase moderately to 110,000 units this year
and 122,000 in 1998. Stronger job-generated demand is being offset by a
forecast of higher interest rates. In response to low office and industrial
vacancy rates, nonresidential construction is expected to show strong
growth -- with last year's double-digit growth continuing in 1997 and 1998.

LITIGATION

The State is a party to numerous legal proceedings, many of which normally
occur in governmental operations. Following are some of the more significant
lawsuits against the State:

The State is involved in a lawsuit, Thomas Hayes v. Commission on State
Mandates, related to State-mandated costs. The action involves an appeal by the
Director of Finance from a 1984 decision by the State Board of Control (now
succeeded by the Commission on State Mandates ("Commission")). The Board of
Control decided in favor of local school districts' claims for reimbursement
for special education programs for handicapped students. The case was then
brought to the trial court by the State and later remanded to the Commission
for redetermination. The Commission has since expanded the claim to include
supplemental claims filed by seven other educational institutions; the issuance
of a final consolidated decision is anticipated sometime in early 1997. To
date, the Legislature has not appropriated funds. The liability to the State,
if all potentially eligible school districts pursue timely claims, has been
estimated by the Department of Finance at over $1 billion.

The State is involved in a lawsuit related to contamination at the
Stringfellow toxic waste site. In United States, People of the State of
California v. J.B. Stringfellow, Jr. et al., the State is seeking recovery for
the past costs of cleanup of the site, a declaration that the defendants are
jointly and severally liable for future costs, and an injunction ordering
completion of the cleanup. However, the defendants have filed a counterclaim
against the State for alleged negligent acts. Because the State is the present
owner of the site, the State may be found liable. Present estimates of the
cleanup range from $200 million to $800 million.

The State is a defendant in a coordinated action involving 3,000
plaintiffs seeking recovery for damages caused by the Yuba River flood of
February 1986. The trial court has found liability in inverse condemnation and
awarded damages of $500,000 to a sample of plaintiffs. The State's potential
liability to the remaining 3,000 plaintiffs from claims filed ranges from $800
million to $1.5 billion. An appeal has been filed.

The State is a defendant in California State Employees Association v.
Wilson, where the petitioners are challenging several budget appropriations in
the 1994 and 1995 Budget Acts. The appropriations mandate the transfer of funds
from the State Highway Account to the General Fund to reimburse the General
Fund for debt service costs on two rail bond measures. The petitioners contend
that the transfers violate the bond acts themselves and are requesting the
monies be returned. The loss to the State's General Fund could be up to $227
million.

In a similar case, Professional Engineers in California Government v.
Wilson, the petitioners are challenging several appropriations in the 1993,
1994, and 1995 Budget Acts. The appropriations mandate the transfer of
approximately $262 million from the State Highway Account and $113 million from
the Motor Vehicle Account to the General Fund and appropriate approximately $6
million from the State Highway Account to fund a highway - grade crossing
program administered by the Public Utilities Commission. Petitioners contend

<PAGE>

that the transfers violate several constitutional provisions and request that
the monies be returned to the State Highway Account and Motor Vehicle Account.

The State is a defendant in Just Say No To Tobacco Dough Campaign v. State
of California, where the petitioners challenge the appropriation of
approximately $166 million of Proposition 99 funds in the Cigarette and Tobacco
Products Surtax Fund for years ended June 30, 1990, through June 30, 1995 for
programs which were allegedly not health education or tobacco-related disease
research. If the State loses, the General Fund and funds from other sources
would be used to reimburse the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Surtax for
approximately $166 million.

The State is a defendant in the case of Kurt Hathaway, et al. v. Wilson,
et al, where the plaintiffs are challenging the legality of various budget
action transfers and appropriations from particular special funds for years
ended June 30, 1995, and June 30, 1996. The plaintiffs allege that the
transfers and appropriations are contrary to the substantive law establishing
the funds and providing for interest accruals to the fund, violate the single
subject requirement of the State Constitution, and is an invalid "special law."
Plaintiffs seek to have monies totaling approximately $335 million returned to
the special funds.

The State is a defendant in two related cases, Beno vs. Sullivan ("Beno")
and Welch vs. Anderson ("Welch"), concerning reductions in Aid to Families with
Dependent Children ("AFDC") grant payments. In the Beno case, plaintiffs seek
to invalidate AFDC grant reductions and in the Welch case, plaintiffs contend
that AFDC grant reductions are not authorized by state law. The Beno case
concerns the total grant reductions while the Welch case concerns the period of
time the State did not have a waiver for those reductions. The State's
potential liability for retroactive AFDC grant reductions is estimated at $831
million if the plaintiffs are awarded the full amount in both cases.

The State was a defendant in California Teachers Association v. Russell S.
Gould, et al., where the petitioners challenged a recharacterization of $1.1
billion of appropriations for the 1991-92 fiscal year and $190 million in the
1992-93 fiscal year as emergency loans rather than Proposition 98 funds. The
Petitioners were seeking a declaration that all appropriated funds are
Proposition 98 funds and, therefore, must be included in the minimum funding
guarantee for schools. The trial court ruled that the appropriations are not
Proposition 98 funds and should not be included in the minimum funding
calculation in future years.

The petitioners also challenged the Legislature's appropriation of $973
million to schools in the 1992-93 fiscal year and $787 million to schools in
the 1993-94 fiscal year. The appropriations, which the Legislature called
"emergency loans," were in excess of the Proposition 98 guarantee of minimum
funding; the Legislature explicitly excluded those excess funds from being
included in the future Proposition 98 minimum funding guarantee. The trial
court found that amounts which the State appropriated to schools as loans in
excess of the Proposition 98 guarantee were considered to be Proposition 98
funding and were required to be used to calculate the Proposition 98
requirement in future years. Moreover, the trial court found that the State
cannot require schools to repay the appropriations which were characterized as
loans. The parties have reached a settlement which provides that both the State
and K-14 schools share in the repayment of prior years' emergency loans to
schools. Of the total $1.8 billion in loans, the State will repay $935 million
by forgiveness of the amount owed, while schools will repay $825 million, the
$935 million forgiveness of the amount owed is included as 1995-96 fiscal year
expenditures of the General Fund. The State's share of the repayment will be
reflected as an appropriation above the current Proposition 98 base
calculation. The schools share of the repayment will count as appropriations
that count toward satisfying the Proposition 98 guarantee, or from "below" the
current base.

In the case of Board of Administration, California Public Employees'
Retirement System, et al. v. Pete Wilson, Governor, et al., plaintiffs
challenged the constitutionality of legislation which deferred payment of the
State's employer contribution to the Public Employees' Retirement System
beginning in Fiscal Year 1992-93. On January 11, 1995, the Sacramento County
Superior Court entered a judgment finding that the legislation
unconstitutionally impaired the vested contract rights of PERS members. The
judgment provides for issuance of a writ of mandate directing State defendants
to disregard the provisions of the legislation, to implement the statute
governing employer contributions that existed before the changes in the
legislation found to be unconstitutional, and to transfer to PERS the

<PAGE>

contributions that were unpaid to date. On February 19, 1997, the State Court
of Appeal affirmed the decision of the Superior Court, and the Supreme Court
subsequently refused to hear the case, making the Court of Appeals' ruling
final. On July 30, 1997, the Controller transferred $1.235 billion from the
General Fund to PERS in repayment of the principal amount determined to have
been improperly deferred. Subsequent State payments to PERS will be made on a
quarterly basis. No prejudgment interest has been paid in accordance with the
trial court ruling that there was insufficient evidence that money for that
purpose had been appropriated and was available. No post-judgment interest was
ordered.

APPENDIX C

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING
CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS

The following information is a summary of special factors affecting
investments in Connecticut Municipal Obligations. The sources of payment for
such obligations and the marketability thereof may be affected by financial or
other difficulties experienced by Connecticut (the "State") and certain of its
municipalities and public authorities. This summary does not purport to be a
complete description and is based on information from statements relating to
offerings of Connecticut bond issues. Landmark Connecticut Tax Free Reserves is
not responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of this information.

CERTAIN ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS

Connecticut's economy is diverse. Manufacturing employment in the State
has been on a downward trend since the mid-1980s, while non-manufacturing
employment has recovered most of its losses from its peak in the late 1980s.
Manufacturing is diversified, with transportation equipment the dominant
industry. Connecticut is a leading producer of aircraft engines and parts,
submarines and helicopters. The largest employers in these industries are
United Technologies Corporation, including its Pratt and Whitney Aircraft
Division, with headquarters in East Hartford, and Sikorsky Aircraft Division in
Stratford as well as General Dynamics Corporation's Electric Boat Division in
Groton.

During the past ten years, Connecticut's manufacturing employment was at
its highest in 1987 at over 384,000 workers. Since that year, employment in
manufacturing has been on a downward trend, declining 28.3%, or a loss of
108,760 jobs by 1996 from 1987 levels. A number of factors, such as the
overvalued dollar of the mid-1980s, heightened foreign competition, a sharp
decrease in defense spending, and improved productivity played a significant
role in affecting the overall level of manufacturing employment. In
Connecticut, the rate of job loss in the manufacturing sector produced a
decline of 1.3% or 3,660 jobs from 1995 to 1996.

Over the past several decades the non-manufacturing sector of the State's
economy has risen in economic importance, from just over 50% of total State
employment in 1950 to approximately 83% by 1996. This trend has decreased the
State's dependence on manufacturing. The State's non-manufacturing sector
expanded by 2.0% in 1996 as compared to 1.9% in 1995, 1.7% in 1994, and 1.4% in
1993, following three years of decline starting in 1990. During the 1990s,
Connecticut's growth in non-manufacturing employment has lagged that of the New
England region and the nation as a whole.

The non-manufacturing sector is comprised of industries that typically
provide a service. The four major industries in terms of employment are: trade;
finance, insurance, and real estate; business and personal services; and
government, which collectively comprise about 90% of employment in the
non-manufacturing sector.

After enjoying an extraordinary boom during the mid-1980s, Connecticut, as
well as the rest of the Northeast, experienced an economic slowdown before the
onset of the national recession in the latter half of 1990. Reflecting the
downturn, the unemployment rate in the State rose from a low of 3% in 1988 to
just above the national average of 7.5% during 1992.

FISCAL CONDITION IN RECENT YEARS

The State finances most of its operations through its General Fund. The
major components of General Fund revenues are State taxes, including the
personal income tax, the sales and use tax and the corporation business tax.
Miscellaneous fees, receipts, transfers and unrestricted federal grants account
for most of the other General Fund revenue.

The adopted budget for 1998-99 anticipates General Fund revenues of
$9,496.0 million and General Fund expenditures of $9,495.9 million.

Beginning with the income year commencing on or after January 1, 1991, the
State imposed a personal income tax on the income of residents of the State
(including resident trusts and estates), part-year residents and certain non-
residents who have taxable income derived from or connected with sources within
Connecticut. For tax years commencing or after January 1, 1992, the tax imposed
is at the rate of 4.5% on Connecticut taxable income. Depending on federal
income tax filing status and Connecticut adjusted gross income, personal
exemptions ranging from $12,000 to $24,000 are available to taxpayers. In
addition, tax credits ranging from 1% to 75% of a taxpayer's Connecticut tax
liability are also available depending upon federal income tax filing status
and Connecticut adjusted gross income. Such exemptions and tax credits are

<PAGE>

phased out at certain higher income levels. Neither the personal exemption nor
the tax credit described above is available to a trust or an estate.
Legislation enacted in 1995 effected a graduated rate structure beginning in
tax year 1996. Under this revised structure, the top rate remains at 4.5% with
a rate of 3% on the first $4,500 of taxable income for joint filers and the
first $2,250 for single filers. For tax year 1997, the 3% rate is expanded to
the first $9,000 of taxable income for joint filers and the first $4,500 for
single filers. Legislation enacted during the 1997 session expands the amount
of taxable income subject to the lower 3% rate. By tax year 1999, the first
$20,000 of taxable income for a joint filer and the first $10,000 of taxable
income for a single filer will be taxed at the 3% rate. In addition, the
maximum $100 income tax credit for property taxes will be expanded to a maximum
of $285 per filer. Taxpayers are also subject to a Connecticut minimum tax
based on their liability, if any, for payment of the federal alternative
minimum tax.

The Sales Tax is imposed, subject to certain limitations, on the gross
receipts from certain transactions within the State of persons engaged in
business in the State, including (a) sales at retail of tangible personal
property, (b) the rendering of certain services, (c) the leasing or rental of
tangible personal property, (d) the producing, fabricating, processing,
printing, or imprinting of tangible personal property to special order or with
materials furnished by the consumer, (e) the furnishing, preparing or serving
of food, meals, or drinks, and (f) the transfer of occupancy of hotel or
lodging house rooms for a period not exceeding thirty consecutive calendar
days. The Use Tax is imposed on the consideration paid for certain services or
purchases or rentals of tangible personal property used within the State
pursuant to a transaction not subject to the Sales Tax. A separate rate of 12%
is charged on the occupancy of hotel rooms. Effective October 1, 1991, the tax
rate for the Sales and Use Taxes was reduced from eight percent to six percent.
Various exemptions from the Sales and Use Taxes are provided, based on the
nature, use or price of the property or services involved or the identity of
the purchaser. Tax returns and accompanying payments with respect to revenues
from these taxes are generally due monthly on or before the last day of the
month next succeeding the taxable month.

The Corporation Business Tax provides for three methods of computation.
The taxpayer's liability is the greatest amount computed under any of the three
methods.

The first method of computation is a tax measured by the net income of a
taxpayer (the "Income-Base Tax"). Net income, except as applied to insurance
companies, means federal gross income with limited variations less certain
deductions, most of which correspond to the deductions allowed under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. In the case of
life insurance companies subject to the Corporation Business Tax, net income
means life insurance company taxable income, as determined for federal income
tax purposes, with certain adjustments. The Income-Base Tax is levied at the
rate of 10.75% until January 1, 1998 when it will decrease to 9.5%. Legislation
enacted in 1993 and subsequent years instituted a phase down in the corporation
tax rate so that by the income year commencing on or after January 1, 2000 the
corporate rate will be 7.5%. The second method of computing the Corporation
Business Tax, from which domestic insurance companies are exempted, is an
alternative tax on capital. This alternative tax is determined either as a
specific maximum dollar amount or at a flat rate on a defined base, usually
related in whole or part to its capital stock and balance sheet surplus, profit
and deficit. The third method of computing the Corporation Business Tax is the
minimum tax which is $250. Corporations must compute their tax under all three
methods and pay the tax under the highest computation.

Other tax revenues are derived from inheritance taxes, taxes on gross
receipts of hospital and public service corporations, taxes on net direct
premiums of insurance companies, taxes on oil companies, cigarette and
alcoholic beverage excise taxes, real estate conveyance taxes and other
miscellaneous tax sources.

Federal grants in aid are normally conditioned to some degree, depending
upon the particular program being funded, on resources provided by the State.
More than 99% of unrestricted federal grant revenue is expenditure driven. The
largest federal grants in fiscal 1997 were made for the purposes of providing
medical assistance payments to the indigent and Aid to Families with Dependent
Children. The State also receives certain restricted federal grants which are
not reflected in annual appropriations but which nonetheless are accounted for
in the General Fund

Other non-tax revenues are derived from special revenue transfers; Indian
gaming payments; licenses, permits and fees; sales of commodities and services;
rents, fines and escheats; investment income; and other miscellaneous revenue
sources.

In November 1992, electors approved an amendment to the State Constitution
providing that the amount of general budget expenditures authorized for any
fiscal year shall not exceed the estimated amount of revenue for such fiscal
year. This amendment also provides for a cap on budget expenditures. The
General Assembly is precluded from authorizing an increase in general budget
expenditures for any fiscal year above the amount of general budget
expenditures authorized for the previous fiscal year by a certain percentage

<PAGE>

which exceeds the greater of the percentage increase in personal income or the
percentage increase in inflation, unless the Governor declares an emergency or
the existence of extraordinary circumstances and at least three-fifths of the
members of each house of the General Assembly vote to exceed such limit for the
purposes of such emergency or extraordinary circumstances. The limitation on
general budget expenditures does not include expenditures for the payment of
bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness. There is no statutory or
constitutional prohibition against bonding for general budget expenditures.

By statute, no bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness for
borrowed money payable from General Fund tax receipts of the State shall be
authorized by the General Assembly except as shall not cause the aggregate
amount of (1) the total amount of bonds, notes or other evidences of
indebtedness payable from General Fund tax receipts authorized by the General
Assembly but which have not been issued and (2) the total amount of such
indebtedness (excluding short-term and certain other indebtedness) which has
been issued and remains outstanding, to exceed 1.6 times the total estimated
General Fund tax receipts of the State for the fiscal year in which any such
authorization will become effective. As a result, the State had a debt
incurring margin as of December 1, 1997 of 2,029,278,606.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

The classification of Landmark Connecticut Tax Free Reserves under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a "non-diversified" investment company allows
it to invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any issuer,
subject to satisfaction of certain tax requirements. Because of the relatively
small number of issuers of Connecticut obligations, the Fund is likely to
invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer
than is an investment company which invests in a broad range of Municipal
Obligations. Therefore, the Fund would be more susceptible than a diversified
fund to any single adverse economic or political occurrence or development
affecting Connecticut issuers. The Fund will also be subject to an increased
risk of loss if the issuer is unable to make interest or principal payments or
if the market value of such securities declines. It is also possible that there
will not be sufficient availability of suitable Connecticut tax-exempt
obligations for the Fund to achieve its objective of providing income exempt
from Connecticut taxes.

Landmark Connecticut Tax Free Reserves may invest 25% or more of its
assets in Connecticut Municipal Obligations of the same type, including,
without limitation, the following: general obligations of the State of
Connecticut and its political subdivisions; lease rental obligations of state
and local authorities; obligations of state and local housing finance
authorities, municipal utilities systems or public housing authorities; or
industrial development or pollution control bonds issued for hospitals,
electric utility systems, steel companies, life care facilities or other
purposes. This may make the Fund more susceptible to adverse economic,
political, or regulatory occurrences affecting a particular category of
issuers.

Connecticut Municipal Obligations also include obligations of the
governments of Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories and their political
subdivisions to the extent that these obligations are exempt from Connecticut
State personal income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by
local political and economic conditions and developments within Puerto Rico and
certain other U.S. territories affecting the issuers of such obligations. The
economy of Puerto Rico is dominated by the manufacturing and service sectors
(including finance and tourism). Investments in fixed capital, including public
infrastructure, private development and construction, and purchases of
equipment and machinery, increased significantly during 1996 and accounted for
approximately 24.9% of Puerto Rico's gross domestic product. The economy of
Puerto Rico expanded significantly from 1986 through 1990, with yearly
increases in gross domestic product ranging from 4.4% for 1988 to 2.5% for
1990. Gross domestic product increased moderately for the following two years,
at yearly rates of 0.9% for 1991 and 0.8% for 1992. Between 1993 and 1995,
Puerto Rico experienced more significant yearly increases in gross domestic
product, ranging from 2.5% in 1994 to 3.4% in 1995. Annual increases in gross
domestic product for the years 1996 and 1997 were 3.3% and 3.2% respectively.
The increase in gross domestic product for the past fiscal year is due, in
large part, to a high growth in the internal investment of fixed capital
accompanied by increases in the expenditures of personal consumption and of the
government. These increases were somewhat offset by an increase in the negative
balance of net sales of merchandise and services to the rest of the world.
Although the Puerto Rico unemployment rate has declined substantially since
1983, the unemployment rate for 1997 was approximately 13.1%. The economic
projections for fiscal years 1998 and 1999 show that the sustained growth seen
in the economy of Puerto Rico since 1993 will continue throughout the next two
years. Indeed, the economic indicators concerning the movements of the economy
during the months gone by of the current fiscal year confirm this general
trajectory. The growth projections are based on a variety of factors,
including: the stability of interest rates; a certain level of confidence by
the consumer; the policy of the Government of Puerto Rico as a facilitator in
the processes for development of new projects; and the priority given to the
commencement and continuation of infrastructure projects.

<PAGE>

RECENT RATINGS OF CERTAIN GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS

Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch assigned their municipal bond ratings
of Aa3, AA- and AA, respectively, to the outstanding general obligation bonds
of the State. Each such rating reflects only the views of the respective rating
agency, and an explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained
from such rating agency. There is no assurance that such ratings will continue
for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn
entirely by the rating agency if, in the judgment of such rating agency,
circumstances so warrant. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating
may have an adverse effect on the market price of the State's general
obligation bonds.

LITIGATION

The State, its officers and employees are defendants in numerous lawsuits.
The ultimate disposition and fiscal consequences of these lawsuits are not
presently determinable. The Attorney General's Office has reviewed the status
of pending lawsuits and reports that it is the opinion of the Attorney General
that such pending litigation will not be finally determined so as to result
individually or in the aggregate in a final judgment against the State which
would materially adversely affect its financial position, except that in the
cases described below the fiscal impact of an adverse decision might be
significant but is not determinable at this time. The cases described in this
section generally do not include any individual case where the fiscal impact of
an adverse judgment is expected to be less than $15 million, but adverse
judgments in a number of such cases could, in the aggregate and in certain
circumstances, have a significant impact.

Connecticut Criminal Defense Lawyers Association v. Forst is an action
brought in 1989 in Federal District Court alleging a pervasive campaign by the
State and various State Police officials of illegal electronic surveillance,
wiretapping and bugging for a number of years at Connecticut State Police
facilities. The plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, punitive damages, as well
as other damages and costs and attorneys fees, as well as temporary and
permanent injunctive relief. In November 1991, the court issued an order which
will allow the plaintiffs to represent a class of all persons who participated
in wire or oral communications to, from, or within State Police facilities
between January 1, 1974 and November 9, 1989 and whose communications were
intercepted, recorded and/or used by the defendants in violation of the law.
This class includes a sub-class of the Connecticut State Police Union, current
and former Connecticut State Police officers who are not defendants in this or
any consolidated case, and other persons acting on behalf of the State Police
who participated in oral or wire communications to, from or within State Police
facilities between such dates.

Sheff v. O'Neill is a Superior Court action brought in 1989 on behalf of
black and Hispanic school children in the Hartford school district. The
plaintiffs sought a declaratory judgment that the public schools in the greater
Hartford metropolitan area are segregated de facto by race and ethnicity and
are inherently unequal to their detriment. They also sought injunctive relief
against state officials to provide them with an "integrated education." On
April 12, 1995, the Superior Court entered judgment for the State. On July 9,
1996, the State Supreme Court reversed the Superior Court judgment and remanded
the case with direction to render a declaratory judgment in favor of the
plaintiffs. The Court directed the legislature to develop appropriate measures
to remedy the racial and ethnic segregation in the Hartford public schools. The
Supreme Court also directed the Superior Court to retain jurisdiction of this
matter. The 1997 General Assembly enacted P.A. 97-290, An Act Enhancing
Educational Opportunities, in response to the Supreme Court decision. In
response to a motion filed by the plaintiffs, the Superior Court recently
ordered the State to show cause as to whether there has been compliance with
the Supreme Court's ruling.

The Connecticut Traumatic Brain Injury Association, Inc. v. Hogan is a
Federal District Court civil rights action brought in 1990 on behalf of all
persons with retardation or traumatic brain injury who have been, or may be,
placed in Norwich, Fairfield Hills or Connecticut Valley Hospitals. The
plaintiffs claim that the treatment and training they need is unavailable in
state hospitals for the mentally ill and that placement in those hospitals
violates their constitutional rights. The plaintiffs seek relief which would
require that the plaintiff classmembers be transferred to community residential
settings with appropriate support services. This case has been settled as to
all persons with mental retardation by their eventual discharge from Norwich
and Fairfield Hills Hospital. The case is still proceeding as to those persons
with traumatic brain injury. The Court recently expanded the class of
plaintiffs to include persons who are in the custody of the Department of
Mental Health and Addiction Services at any time during the pendency of the
case for treatment or benefits in any program which is provided by or is the
responsibility of the State, by reason of being diagnosed with acquired brain
injury (which includes traumatic and other brain injuries).

<PAGE>

Several suits have been filed since 1977 in the Federal District Court and
the Connecticut Superior Court on behalf of alleged Indian Tribes in various
parts of the State, claiming monetary recovery as well as ownership of land in
issue. Some of these suits have been settled or dismissed. The plaintiff group
in the remaining suits is the alleged Golden Hill Paugussett Tribe and the
lands involved are generally located in Bridgeport, Trumball, Orange, Shelton
and Seymour.

Johnson v. Rowland is a Superior Court action brought in 1998 in the name
of several public school students and the Connecticut municipalities in which
the students reside, seeking a declaratory judgment that the State's current
system of financing public education through local property taxes and State
payments to municipalities determined under a statutory Education Cost Sharing
("ECS") formula violates the Connecticut Constitution. Additionally, the suit
seeks various injunctive orders requiring the State to, among other things,
cease implementation of the present system. modify the ECS formula, and fund
the ECS formula at the level contemplated in the original 1988 public act which
established the ECS.

APPENDIX D

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING
NEW YORK MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS

The following information is a summary of special factors affecting
investments in New York Municipal Obligations. The sources of payment for such
obligations and the marketability thereof may be affected by financial or other
difficulties experienced by New York State (the "State") and certain of its
municipalities and public authorities. This information does not purport to be
a complete description and is based on information from official statements
relating to securities offerings of New York issuers. CitiFunds New York Tax
Free Reserves is not responsible for the accuracy or timeliness of this
information.

NEW YORK STATE

The factors affecting the State's financial condition are complex and the
following description constitutes only a summary.

CURRENT ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

The national economy has maintained a robust rate of growth during the
past six quarters as the expansion, which is well into its seventh year,
continues. Since early 1992, approximately 16 1/2 million jobs have been added
nationally. The State economy has also continued to expand, but growth remains
somewhat slower than in the nation. Although the State has added over 400,000
jobs since late 1992, employment growth in the State has been hindered during
recent years by significant cutbacks in the computer and instrument
manufacturing, utility, defense, and banking industries. Government downsizing
has also moderated these job gains.

The State Division of the Budget ("DOB") forecasts that national economic
growth will be quite strong in the first half of calendar 1998, but will
moderate considerably as the year progresses. The projected overall growth rate
of the national economy for calendar year 1998 is modestly below the consensus
forecast of a widely followed survey of national economic forecasters. Growth
in real Gross Domestic Product for 1998 is projected to be 2.8 percent, with a
decline in net exports and continued restraint in federal spending more than
offset by increases in consumption and investment. Inflation, as measured by
the Consumer Price Index, is projected to reach its lowest annual rate since
the 1960's at about 1.6 percent due to improved productivity, foreign
competition and low energy and commodity costs. Personal income and wages are
projected to increase by 5.3 percent and 6.3 percent respectively.

The forecast of the State's economy shows continued expansion during the
1998 calendar year, with employment growth gradually slowing as the year
progresses. The financial and business service sectors are expected to continue
to do well, while employment in the manufacturing and government sectors will
post only small, if any, declines. On an average annual basis, the employment
growth rate in the State is expected to be higher than in 1997 and the
unemployment rate is expected to drop further to 6.1 percent. Personal income
is expected to record moderate gains in 1998. Wage growth in 1998 is expected
to be slower than in the previous year as the recent robust growth in bonus
payments moderates.

1997-98 FISCAL YEAR

The State ended its 1997-98 fiscal year in balance on a cash basis, with a
General Fund cash surplus as reported by DOB of approximately $2.04 billion.
The cash surplus was derived primarily from higher-than-anticipated receipts
and lower spending on welfare, Medicaid, and other entitlement programs.

The General Fund had a closing balance of $638 million, an increase of
$205 million from the prior fiscal year. The balance is held in three accounts
within the General Fund: the Tax Stabilization Reserve Fund ("TSRF"), the
Contingency Reserve Fund ("CRF") and the Community Projects Fund ("CPF"). The
TSRF closing balance was $400 million, following a required deposit of $15
million (repaying a transfer made in 1991-92) and an extraordinary deposit of
$68 million made from the 1997-98 surplus. The CRF closing balance was $68
million, following a $27 million deposit from the surplus. The CPF, which
finances legislative initiatives, closed the fiscal year with a balance of $170
million, an increase of $95 million. The General Fund closing balance did not
include $2.39 billion in the tax refund reserve account, of which $521 million
was made available as a result of the Local Government Assistance Corporation
("LGAC") financing program and was required to be on deposit on March 31, 1998.

General Fund receipt and transfers from other funds for the 1997-98 fiscal
year (including net tax refund reserve account activity) totaled $34.55
billion, an annual increase of $1.51 billion, or 4.57 percent over 1996-97.
General Fund disbursements and transfers to other funds were $34.35 billion, an
annual increase of $1.45 billion or 4.41 percent.

1996-97 FISCAL YEAR

The State ended its 1996-97 fiscal year on March 31, 1997 in balance on a
cash basis, with a General Fund cash surplus as reported by DOB of
approximately $1.2 billion. The cash surplus was derived primarily from
higher-than-expected receipts and lower-than-expected spending for social
services programs.

The General Fund closing fund balance was $433 million, an increase of
$146 million from the 1995-96 fiscal year. The balance included $317 million in
the TSRF, after a required deposit of $15 million and an additional deposit of
$65 million in 1996-97. In addition, $41 million remained on deposit in the
CRF. The remaining $75 million reflected amounts then on deposit in the
Community Projects Fund. The General Fund closing fund balance did not include
$1.86 billion in the tax refund reserve account, of which $521 million was made
available as a result of the LGAC financing program and was required to be on
deposit as of March 31, 1997.

General Fund receipts and transfers from other funds for the 1996-97
fiscal year totaled $33.04 billion, an increase of 0.7 percent from the
previous fiscal year (including net tax refund reserve account activity).
General Fund disbursements and transfers to other funds totaled $32.90 billion
for the 1996-97 fiscal year, an increase of 0.7 percent from the 1995-96 fiscal
year.

1995-96 FISCAL YEAR

The State ended its 1995-96 fiscal year on March 31, 1996 with a General
Fund cash surplus as reported by DOB, of $445 million. The cash surplus was
derived from higher-than-expected receipts, savings generated through agency
cost controls and lower-than-expected welfare spending.

The General Fund closing fund balance was $287 million, an increase of
$129 million from 1994-95 levels. The $129 million change in fund balance is
attributable to the $65 million voluntary deposit to the TSRF, a $15 million
required deposit to the TSRF, a $40 million deposit to the CRF, and a $9
million deposit to the Revenue Accumulation Fund. The closing fund balance
included $237 million on deposit in the TSRF. In addition, $41 million was on
deposit in the CRF. The remaining $9 million reflected amounts then on deposit
in the Revenue Accumulation Fund. The General Fund closing balance does not
include $678 million in the tax refund reserve account of which $521 million
was made available as a result of the LGAC financing program and was required
to be on deposit as of March 31, 1996.

General Fund receipts and transfers from other funds (including net refund
reserve account activity) totaled $32.81 billion, a decrease of 1.1 percent
from 1994-95 levels. General Fund disbursements and transfers to other funds
totaled $32.68 billion for the 1995-96 fiscal year, a decrease of 2.2 percent
from 1994-95 levels.

Rating Agencies Actions: On February 8, 1993, Fitch assigned its municipal
bond rating of A+ to the State's general obligation bonds. Moody's assigned its
municipal bond rating of A2 on February 10, 1997, and as of August 28, 1997,
Standard & Poor's assigned its rating of A to the State's general obligation
bonds. Each such rating reflects only the views of the respective rating
agency, and an explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained
from such rating agency. There is no assurance that such ratings will continue
for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn
entirely by such rating agency if, in the judgment of such rating agency,
circumstances so warrant. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating
may have an adverse effect on the market price of the State's general
obligation bonds.

PUBLIC AUTHORITIES

The fiscal stability of the State is related, in part, to the fiscal
stability of its public authorities, meaning public benefit corporations
created pursuant to State law, other than local authorities. Public authorities
are not subject to the constitutional restrictions on the incurrence of debt
which apply to the State itself and may issue bonds and notes within the
amounts, and restrictions set forth in legislative authorization. The State's
access to the public credit markets could be impaired, and the market price of
its outstanding debt may be materially and adversely affected, if any of its
public authorities were to default on their respective obligations,
particularly those using the financing techniques referred to as
State-supported or State-related debt. As of December 31, 1997, there were 17
public authorities that had outstanding debt of $100 million or more, and the
aggregate outstanding debt, including refunding bonds, of all State public
authorities was $84 billion, only a portion of which constitutes
State-supported or State related debt.

The State has numerous public authorities with various responsibilities,
including those which finance, construct and/or operate revenue producing
public facilities. Public authorities generally pay their operating expenses
and debt service costs from revenues generated by the projects they finance or

<PAGE>

operate, such as tolls charged for the use of highways, bridges or tunnels,
charges for public power, electrical gas utility services, rentals charged for
housing units, and charges for occupancy at medical care facilities.

In addition, State legislation authorizes several financing techniques for
public authorities. Also, there are statutory arrangements providing for State
local assistance payments, otherwise payable to localities, to be made under
certain circumstances to public authorities. Although the State has no
obligation to provide additional assistance to localities whose local
assistance payments have been paid to public authorities under these
arrangements, the affected localities could seek additional State assistance if
local assistance payments are so diverted.

Some authorities also receive moneys from State appropriations to pay for
the operating costs of certain of their programs. As described below, the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("MTA") receives the bulk of this money
in order to provide transit and commuter services.

Beginning in 1998, the Long Island Power Authority ("LIPA") assumed
responsibility for the provision of electric utility services previously
provided by Long Island Lighting Company for Nassau, Suffolk and a portion of
Queen Counties, as part of an estimated $7 billion financing plan. As of June
26, 1998, LIPA has issued over $5 billion in bonds secured solely by ratepayer
charges. LIPA's debt is not considered either State-supported or State-related
debt.

METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY

The MTA oversees the operation of subway and bus lines in New York City by
its affiliates, the New York City Transit Authority and the Manhattan and Bronx
Surface Transit Operating Authority (collectively, the "TA"). The MTA operates
certain commuter rail and bus services in the New York Metropolitan area
through MTA's subsidiaries, the Long Island Rail Road Company, the Metro- North
Commuter Railroad Company, and the Metropolitan Suburban Bus Authority. In
addition, the Staten Island Rapid Transit Operating Authority, an MTA
subsidiary, operates a rapid transit line on Staten Island. Through its
affiliated agency, the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority (the "TBTA"), the
MTA operates certain intrastate toll bridges and tunnels. Because fare revenues
are not sufficient to finance the mass transit portion of these operations, the
MTA has depended on, and will continue to depend on, operating support from the
State, local governments and TBTA, including loans, grants and subsidies. If
current revenue projections are not realized and/or operating expenses exceed
current projections, the TA or commuter railroads may be required to seek
additional State assistance, raise fares or take other actions.

Since 1980, the State has enacted several taxes--including a surcharge on
the profits of banks, insurance corporations and general business corporations
doing business in the 12-county Metropolitan Transportation Region served by
the MTA and a special one-quarter of 1 percent regional sales and use tax--
that provide revenues for mass transit purposes, including assistance to the
MTA. Since 1987 State law has required that the proceeds of a one-quarter of 1
percent mortgage recording tax paid on certain mortgages in the Metropolitan
Transportation Region be deposited in a special MTA fund for operating or
capital expenses. In 1993, the State dedicated a portion of certain additional
State petroleum business tax receipts to fund operating or capital assistance
to the MTA. For the 1998-99 State fiscal year, total State assistance to the
MTA is projected to total approximately $1.3 billion, an increase of $133
million over the 1997-98 fiscal year.

State legislation accompanying the 1996-97 adopted State budget authorized
the MTA, TBTA and TA to issue an aggregate of $6.5 billion in bonds to finance
a portion of the $12.17 billion MTA capital plan for the 1995 through 1999
calendar years (the "1995-99 Capital Program"). In July 1997, the Capital
Program Review Board ("CPRB") approved the 1995-99 Capital Program
(subsequently amended in August 1997), which supercedes the overlapping portion
of the MTA's 1992-96 Capital Program. The 1995-99 Capital Program is the fourth
capital plan since the Legislature authorized procedures for the adoption,
approval and amendment of MTA capital programs and is designed to upgrade the
performance of the MTA's transportation systems by investing in new rolling
stock, maintaining replacement schedules for existing assets and bringing the
MTA system into a state of good repair. The 1995-99 Capital Program assumes the
issuance of an estimated $5.2 billion in bonds under this $6.5 billion
aggregate bonding authority. The remainder of the plan is projected to be
financed through assistance from the federal government, the State, the City of
New York, and from various other revenues generated from actions taken by the
MTA.

There can be no assurance that all the necessary governmental actions for
future capital programs will be taken, that funding sources currently
identified will not be decreased or eliminated, or that the 1995-99 Capital
Program, or parts thereof, will not be delayed or reduced. Should funding
levels fall below current projections, the MTA would have to revise its 1995-99
Capital Program accordingly. If the 1995-99 Capital Program is delayed or
reduced, ridership and fare revenues may decline, which could, among other
things, impair the MTA's ability to meet its operating expenses without
additional assistance.

LOCALITIES

THE CITY Of NEW YORK

The fiscal health of the State may also be affected by the fiscal health
of New York City (the "City"), which continues to require significant financial
assistance from the State. State aid contributes to the City's ability to
balance its budget and to meet its cash requirements. The State may also be
affected by the ability of the City and certain entities issuing debt for the
benefit of the City to market their securities successfully in the public
credit markets. The City has achieved balanced operating results for each of
its fiscal years since 1981 as reported in accordance with the then-applicable
GAAP standards.

FISCAL OvERSIGHT

In response to the City's fiscal crisis in 1975, the State took action to
assist the City in returning to fiscal stability. Among those actions, the
State established the Municipal Assistance Corporation for the City of New York
("NYC MAC") to provide financing assistance to the City; the New York State
Financial Control Board (the "Control Board") to oversee the City's financial
affairs; and the Office of the State Deputy Comptroller for the City of New
York ("OSDC") to assist the Control Board in exercising its powers and
responsibilities. A "Control Period" existed from 1975 to 1986 during which the
City was subject to certain statutorily-prescribed fiscal controls. Although
the Control Board terminated the Control Period in 1986 when certain statutory
conditions were met. State law requires the Control Board to reimpose a Control
Period upon the occurrence or "substantial likelihood and imminence" of the
occurrence of certain events, including (but not limited to) a City operating
budget deficit of more than $100 million or impaired access to the public
credit markets.

Currently, the City and its Covered Organizations (i.e., those which
receive or may receive moneys from the City directly, indirectly or
contingently) operate under a four-year financial plan (the "Financial Plan")
which the City prepares annually and periodically updates. The City's Financial
Plan summarizes its capital, revenue and expense projections and outlines
proposed gap-closing programs for years with projected budget gaps. The City's
projections set forth in the Financial Plan are based on various assumptions
and contingencies, some of which are uncertain and may not materialize.
Unforeseen developments and changes in major assumptions could significantly
affect the City's ability to balance its budget as required by State law and to
meet its annual cash flow and financing requirements.

To successfully implement its Financial Plan, the City and certain
entities issuing debt for the benefit of the City to market their securities
successfully. The City issues securities to finance, refinance and rehabilitate
infrastructure and other capital needs, as well as for seasonal financing
needs. In 1997 the State created the New York City Transitional Finance
Authority to finance a portion of the City's capital program because the City
was approaching its State Constitutional general debt limit. Without the
additional financing capacity of the Transitional Finance Authority, projected
contracts for City capital projects would have exceeded the City's debt limit
during City fiscal year 1997-98. Despite this additional financing mechanism,
the City currently projects that if no further action is taken, it will reach
its debt limit in City fiscal year 1999-2000. On June 2, 1997, an action was
commenced seeking a declaratory judgment declaring the legislation establishing
the Transitional Finance Authority to be unconstitutional. On November 25, 1997
the State Supreme Court found the legislation establishing the TFA to be
constitutional and granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment. The
plaintiffs have appealed the decision. Future developments concerning the City
or entities issuing debt for the benefit of the City, and public discussion of
such developments, as well as prevailing market conditions and securities
credit ratings, may affect the ability or cost to sell securities issued by the
City or such entities and may also affect the market for their outstanding
securities.

MONITORING AGENCIES

The staffs of the Control Board, OSDC and the City Comptroller issue
periodic reports on the City's Financial Plans. The reports analyze the City's
forecasts of revenues and expenditures, cash flow, and debt service
requirements, as well as evaluate compliance by the City and its Covered
Organizations with the Financial Plan. According to recent staff reports, while
economic growth in New York City has been slower than in other regions of the
country, a surge in Wall Street profitability resulted in increased tax
revenues and generated a substantial surplus for the City in City fiscal year
1996-97. Recent staff reports also indicate that the City projects a
substantial surplus for City fiscal year 1997-98. Although several sectors of
the City's economy have expanded recently, especially tourism and business and
professional services, City tax revenues remain heavily dependent on the
continued profitability of the securities industries and the course of the
national economy. Staff reports have indicated that recent City budgets have
been balanced in part through the use of non-recurring resources and that the
City's Financial Plan tends to rely in part on actions outside its direct
control. These reports have also indicated that the City has not yet brought
its long-term expenditure growth in line with recurring revenue growth and that
the City is therefore likely to continue to face substantial gaps between

<PAGE>

forecast revenues and expenditures in future years that must be closed with
reduced expenditures and/or increased revenues. In addition to these monitoring
agencies, the Independent Budget Office ("IBO") has been established pursuant
to the City Charter to provide analysis to elected officials and the public on
relevant fiscal and budgetary issues affecting the City. Copies of the most
recent Control Board, OSDC and City Comptroller, and IBO staff reports are
available by contacting the Control Board at 270 Broadway, 21st Floor, New
York, NY, 10007, Attention: Executive Director; OSDC at 270 Broadway, 23rd
Floor, New York, NY 10007, Attention: Deputy Comptroller; the City Comptroller
at Municipal Building, Room 517, One Centre Street, New York, NY 10007,
Attention: Deputy Comptroller, Finance; and the IBO at 110 William Street, 14th
Floor, New York, NY 10038, Attention: Director.

OTHER LOCALITIES

Certain localities outside New York City have experienced financial
problems and have requested and received additional State assistance during the
last several State fiscal years. The cities of Yonkers and Troy continue to
operate under State-ordered control agencies. The potential impact on the State
of any future requests by localities for additional assistance is not included
in the projections of the State's receipts and disbursements for the State's
1998-99 fiscal year.

Eighteen municipalities received extraordinary assistance during the 1996
legislative session through $50 million in special appropriations targeted for
distressed cities and twenty-eight municipalities received more than $32
million in targeted unrestricted aid in the 1997-98 budget. Both of these
emergency aid packages were largely continued through the 1998-99 budget. The
State also dispersed an additional $21 million among all cities, towns and
villages, a 3.9 percent increase in General Purpose State Aid in 1997-98 and
continued this increase in 1998-99.

The 1998-99 budget includes an additional $29.4 million in unrestricted
aid targeted to 57 municipalities across the State. Other assistance for
municipalities with special needs totals more than $25.6 million. Twelve
upstate cities will receive $24.2 million in one-time assistance from cash flow
acceleration of State aid.

The appropriation and allocation of general purpose local government aid
among localities, including New York City, is currently the subject of
investigation by a State commission. While the distribution of general purpose
local government aid was originally based on a statutory formula, in recent
years both the total amount appropriated and the amounts appropriated to
localities have been determined by the Legislature. A State commission was
established to study the distribution and amounts appropriated and the amounts
appropriated to localities have been determined by the Legislature. A State
commission was established to study the distribution and amounts of general
purpose local government aid and recommend a new formula by June 30, 1999,
which may change the way aid is allocated.

Municipalities and school districts have engaged in substantial short-term
and long-term borrowings. In 1996, the total indebtedness of all localities in
the State other than New York City was approximately $20.0 billion. A small
portion (approximately $77.2 million) of that indebtedness represented
borrowing to finance budgetary deficits and was issued pursuant to State
enabling legislation. State law requires the Comptroller to review and make
recommendations concerning the budgets of those local government units other
than New York City that are authorized by State law to issue debt to finance
deficits during the period that such deficit financing is outstanding.
Twenty-one localities had outstanding indebtedness for deficit financing at the
close of their fiscal year ending in 1996.

Like the State, local governments must respond to changing political,
economic and financial influences over which they have little or no control.
Such changes may adversely affect the financial condition of certain local
governments. For example, the federal government may reduce (or in some cases
eliminate) federal funding of some local programs, which in turn, may require
local governments to fund these expenditures from their own resources. It is
also possible that the State, New York City, or any of their respective public
authorities may suffer serious financial difficulties that could jeopardize
local access to the public credit markets, which may adversely affect the
marketability of notes and bonds issued by localities within the State.
Localities may also face unanticipated problems resulting from certain pending
litigation, judicial decisions and long-range economic trends. Other
large-scale potential problems, such as declining urban populations, increasing
expenditures, and the loss of skilled manufacturing jobs, may also adversely
affect localities and necessitate State assistance.

LITIGATION

GENERAL

The legal proceedings noted below involve State finances, and programs and
miscellaneous civil rights, real property, contract and other tort claims in
which the State is a defendant and the potential monetary claims against the
State are substantial, generally in excess of $100 million. These proceedings

<PAGE>

could adversely affect the financial condition of the State in the 1998-99
fiscal year or thereafter.

Adverse developments in these proceedings, other proceedings for which
there are unanticipated, unfavorable and material judgments, or the initiation
of new proceedings could affect the ability of the State to maintain a balanced
1998-99 Financial Plan. The State believes that the 1998-99 Financial Plan
includes sufficient reserves to offset the costs associated with the payment of
judgments that may be required during the 1998-99 fiscal year. These reserves
include (but are not limited to) amounts, appropriated for court of claims
payments and projected fund balances in the General Fund. In addition, any
amounts ultimately required to be paid by the State may be subject to
settlement or may be paid over a multi-year period. There can be no assurance,
however, that adverse decisions in legal proceedings against the State would
not exceed the amount of all potential 1998-99 Financial Plan resources
available for the payment of judgments and, could therefore, affect the ability
of the State to maintain a balanced 1998-99 Financial Plan. In its General
Purpose Financial Statements, the State reports its estimated liability for
awarded and anticipated unfavorable judgments.

STATE FINANCE POLICIES

INSURANCE LAW

Proceedings have been brought by two groups of petitioners each
challenging regulations promulgated by the Superintendent of Insurance
establishing excess medical malpractice premium rates for the 1986-87 through
1996-97 fiscal years, (New York State Health Maintenance Organization
Conference, Inc., et al. v. Muhl et al. ["HMO"], and New York State Conference
of Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plans, et al. v. Muhl, et al. ["Blue Cross "I"
and "II" "] Supreme Court, Albany County). By order filed January 22, 1997, the
Court in Blue Cross I permitted the plaintiffs in HMO to intervene, and
dismissed the challenges to the rates for the period prior to 1995-96. By
decision dated July 24, 1997, the Court in Blue Cross I held that the
determination made by the Superintendent in establishing the 1995-96 rate was
arbitrary and capricious and directed that premiums paid pursuant to that
determination should be returned to the payors. The State has appealed this
decision. The petitioners did not cross appeal. In Blue Cross II, by amended
judgment dated April 2, 1998, the Supreme Court annulled the regulation setting
the 1996-97 premium rate and directed that all 1996-97 excess malpractice
premiums be returned to the payors. The State will not be obligated in either
case to pay moneys to any petitioner. Adverse determinations would result in
refunds from the affected insurers.

TAX LAW

In New York Association of Convenience Stores et al. v. Urbach, et al.,
petitioners New York Association of Convenience Stores, National Association of
Convenience Stores, M.W.S. Enterprises, Inc. and Sugarcreek Stores, Inc. seek
to compel respondents, the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance and the
Department of Taxation and Finance, to enforce sales and excise taxes pursuant
to Tax Law Articles 12-A, 20 and 28 on tobacco products and motor fuel sold to
non-Indian consumers on Indian reservations. In orders dated August 13, 1996
and August 24, 1996, the Supreme Court, Albany County, ordered, inter alia,
that there be equal implementation and enforcement of said taxes for sales to
non-Indian consumers on and off Indian reservations, and further ordered that,
if respondents failed to comply within 120 days, no tobacco products or motor
fuel could be introduced onto Indian reservations other than for Indian
consumption or, alternatively, the collection and enforcement of such taxes
would be suspended statewide. Respondents appealed to the Appellate Division,
Third Department and invoked CPLR 5519(a)(1), which provides that the taking of
the appeal stayed all proceedings to enforce the orders pending the appeal.
Petitioner's motion to vacate the stay was denied. In a decision entered May 8,
1997, the Third Department modified the orders by deleting the portion thereof
that provided for the statewide suspension of the enforcement and collection of
the sales and excise taxes on motor fuel and tobacco products. The Third
Department held, inter alia, that petitioners had not sought such relief in
their petition and that it was an error for the Supreme Court to have awarded
such undemanded relief without adequate notice of its intent to do so. On May
22, 1997, respondents appealed to the Court of Appeals on other grounds, and
again invoked the statutory stay. On October 23, 1997, the Court of Appeals
granted petitioners' motion for leave to cross-appeal from the portion of the
Third Department's decision that deleted the statewide suspension of the
enforcement and collection of the sales and excise taxes on motor fuel and
tobacco. The case was argued before the Court of Appeals on March 24, 1998.

CLEAN WATER/CLEAN AiR BOND ACT OF 1996

In Robert L. Schulz et al. v. The New York State Executive, et al.
(Supreme Court, Albany County, commenced October 16, 1996), plaintiffs
challenge the enactment of the Clean Water/Clean Air Bond Act of 1996 and its
implementing legislation (1996 Laws of New York, Chapters 412 and 413).
Plaintiffs claim, inter alia, that the Bond Act and its implementing
legislation violate provisions of the State Constitution requiring that such
debt be authorized by law for some single work or purpose distinctly specified
therein and forbidding incorporation of other statutes by reference.

STATE PROGRAMS

LINE ITEM VETO

In an action commenced in June 1998 by the Speaker of the Assembly of the
State of New York against the Governor of the State of New York (Silver v.
Pataki, Supreme Court, New York County), the Speaker challenges the Governor's
application of his constitutional line item veto authority to certain portions
of budget bills adopted by the State Legislature contained in Chapters 56, 57
and 58 of the Laws of 1998.

MEDICAID

Several cases challenge provisions of Chapter 81 of the Laws of 1995 which
alter the nursing home Medicaid reimbursement methodology on and after April 1,
1995. Included are New York State Health Facilities Association, et al. v.
DeBuono, et al., St. Luke's Nursing Center, et al. v. DeBuono, et al., New York
Association of Homes and Services for the Aging v. DeBuono et al. (three
cases), Healthcare Association of New York State v. DeBuono and Bayberry
Nursing Home et al. v. Pataki, et al. Plaintiffs allege that the changes in
methodology have been adopted in violation of procedural and substantive
requirements of State and federal law.

In a consolidated action commenced in 1992, Medicaid recipients and home
health care providers and organizations challenge promulgation by the State
Department of Social Services ("DSS") in June 1992 of a home assessment
resource review instrument ("HARRI"), which is to be used by DSS to determine
eligibility for and the nature of home care services for Medicaid recipients,
and challenge the policy of DSS of limiting reimbursable hours of service until
a patient is assessed using the HARRI (Dowd, et al. v. Bane, Supreme Court, New
York County).

In several cases, plaintiffs seek retroactive claims for reimbursement for
services provided to Medicaid recipients who were also eligible for Medicare
during the period January 1, 1987 to June 2, 1992. Included are Matter of New
York State Radiological Society v. Wing, Appel v. Wing, E.F.S. Medical Supplies
v. Dowling, Kellogg v. Wing, Lifshitz v. Wing, New York State Podiatric Medical
Association v. Wing and New York State Psychiatric Association v. Wing. These
cases were commenced after the State's reimbursement methodology was held
invalid in New York City Health and Hospital Corp. v. Perales. The State
contends that these claims are time- barred.

In a judgment dated September 5, 1996, the Supreme Court, Albany County,
dismissed Matter of New York State Radiological Society v. Wing as time-barred.
By order dated November 26, 1997, the Appellate Division, Third Department,
affirmed that judgment. By decision dated June 9, 1998, the Court of Appeals
denied leave to appeal.

Several cases, including Port Jefferson Health Care Facility, et al. v.
Wing (Supreme Court, Suffolk County), challenge the constitutionality of Public
Health Law (S)2807-d, which imposes a tax on the hospitals and residential
health care facilities receive from all patient care services. Plaintiffs
allege that the tax assessments were not uniformly applied, in violation of
federal regulations.

In a decision dated June 30, 1997, the Court held that the 1.2 percent and
3.8 percent assessments on gross receipts imposed pursuant to Public Health Law
ss.ss. 2807-d(2)(b)(ii) and 2807-d(2)(b)(iii), respectively, are
unconstitutional. An order entered August 27, 1997 enforced the terms of the
decision. The State has appealed that order.

SHELTER ALLOWANCE

In an action commenced in March 1987 against State and New York City
officials (Jiggetts, et al. v. Bane, et al., Supreme Court, New York County),
plaintiffs allege that the shelter allowance granted to recipients of public
assistance is not adequate for proper housing.

In a decision dated April 16, 1997, the Court held that the shelter
allowance promulgated by the Legislature and enforced through DSS regulations
is not reasonably related to the cost of rental housing in New York City and
results in homelessness to families in New York City. A judgment was entered on

<PAGE>

July 25, 1997, directing, inter alia, that the State (i) submit a proposed
schedule of shelter allowances (for the Aid to Dependent Children program and
any successor program) that bears a reasonable relation to the cost of housing
in New York City; and (ii) compel the New York City Department of Social
Services to pay plaintiffs a monthly shelter allowance in the full amount of
their contract rents, provided they continue to meet the eligibility
requirements for public assistance, until such time as a lawful shelter
allowance is implemented, and provide interim relief to other eligible
recipients of Aid to Dependent Children under the interim relief system
established in this case. The State has appealed to the Appellate Division,
First Department, from each and every provision of this judgment except that
portion directing the continued provision of interim relief.

In an opinion dated June 9, 1998, the Court of Appeals affirmed the
July 17, 1997 order of the Appellate Division, Third Department, affirming the
lower court dismissal of this case.

CIVIL RIGHTS CLAIMS

In an action commenced in 1980 (United States, et al. v. Yonkers Board of
Education, et al.), the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York found, in 1985, that Yonkers and its public schools were
intentionally segregated. In 1986, the District Court ordered Yonkers to
develop and comply with a remedial educational improvement plan ("EIP I"). On
January 19, 1989, the District Court granted motions by Yonkers and the NAACP
to add the State Education Department, the Yonkers Board of Education, and the
State Urban Development Corporation as defendants, based on allegations that
they had participated in the perpetuation of the segregated school system. On
August 30, 1993, the District Court found that vestiges of a dual school system
continued to exist in Yonkers. On March 27, 1995, the District Court made
factual findings regarding the role of the State and the other State defendants
(the "State") in connection with the creation and maintenance of the dual
school system, but found no legal basis for imposing liability. On September 3,
1996, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, based on the
District Court's factual findings, held the State defendants liable under 42
USC ss.1983 and the Equal Educational Opportunity Act, 20 USC ss.ss.1701, et
seq., for the unlawful dual school system, because the State, inter alia, had
taken no action to force the school district to desegregate despite its actual
or constructive knowledge of de jure segregation. By order dated October 8,
1997, the District Court held that vestiges of the prior segregated school
system continued to exist and that, based on the State's conduct in creating
and maintaining that system, the State is liable for eliminating segregation
and its vestiges in Yonkers and must fund a remedy to accomplish that goal.
Yonkers presented a proposed educational improvement plan ("EIP II") to
eradicate these vestiges of segregation. The October 8, 1997 order of the
District Court ordered that EIP II be implemented and directed that, within 10
days of the entry of the Order, the State make available to Yonkers $450,000 to
support planning activities to prepare the EIP II budget for 1997-98 and the
accompanying capital facilities plan. A final judgment to implement EIP II was
entered on October 14, 1997. On November 7, 1997, the State appealed that
judgment to the Second Circuit. The appeal is pending. Additionally, the Court
adopted a requirement that the State pay to Yonkers approximately $9.85 million
as its pro rata share of the funding of EIP I for the 1996-97 school year. The
requirement for State funding of EIP I was reduced to an order on December 2,
1997 and reduced to a judgment on February 10, 1998. The State appealed that
order to the Second Circuit on December 31, 1997 and amended the notice of
appeal after entry of the judgment. That appeal has been consolidated with the
appeal of the EIP II appeal, and is also pending.

On June 15, 1998, the District Court issued an opinion setting forth the
formula for the allocation of the costs of EIP I and EIP II between the State
and the City for the school years 1997-98 through 2005-06.

REAL PROPERTY CLAIMS

On March 4, 1985 in Oneida Indian Nation of New York, et al. v. County of
Oneida, the United States Supreme Court affirmed a judgment of the United
States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit holding that the Oneida Indians
have a common-law right of action against Madison and Oneida Counties for
wrongful possession of 872 acres of land illegally sold to the State in 1795.
At the same time, however, the Court reversed the Second Circuit by holding
that a third-party claim by the counties against the State for indemnification
was not properly before the federal courts. The case was remanded to the
District Court for an assessment of damages, which action is still pending. The
counties may still seek indemnification in the State courts.

Several other actions involving Indian claims to land in upstate New York
are also pending. Included are Cayuga Indian Nation of New York v. Cuomo, et
al., and Canadian St. Regis Band of Mohawk Indians, et al. v. State of New
York, et al., both in the United States District Court for the Northern
District of New York. The Supreme Court's holding in Oneida Indian Nation of
New York may impair or eliminate certain of the State's defenses to these
actions but may enhance others.
