LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS


Dear Shareholder:

   Despite the volatility of the financial  markets over the past twelve months,
money market securities once again provided competitive returns for shareholders
seeking  income  with  capital  preservation.  Economic  conditions  during  the
reporting period were generally  characterized by strong growth coupled with low
inflation.  However,  many forward-looking  investors were alternately concerned
over the past year that the economy might either be deteriorating or growing too
quickly.  Those  who  sought  the  safety of money  market  funds  were  largely
unaffected by the  volatility  of the stock and bond markets  caused by changing
market conditions and shifting investor views.

   In this  environment,  the CitiFunds'  investment  adviser,  Citibank,  N.A.,
continued to manage CitiFundsSM Tax Free Reserves with the goal of achieving its
investment  objectives:  providing  high  levels of current  income  exempt from
federal income taxes, preservation of capital and liquidity.

   This annual report reviews the Fund's  investment  activities and performance
during the  twelve  months  ended  August 31,  1999,  and  provides a summary of
Citibank's perspective on and outlook for the tax-exempt money market securities
marketplace.

   Thank you for your continued confidence and participation.

Sincerely,


/s/ Philip W. Coolidge

PORTFOLIO ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK

   THE PAST YEAR HAS BEEN AN EVENTFUL  ONE FOR THE U.S.  ECONOMY  AND  FINANCIAL
MARKETS.  Between  September  1, 1998 and  August  31,  1999,  the  period  that
coincides  with  CitiFundsSM  Tax Free Reserves'  fiscal year, the U.S.  economy
underwent a full interest-rate cycle. When the reporting period began,  interest
rates were declining  sharply in response to the currency and credit crisis that
began in Asia,  spread  to  Russia  and  threatened  Latin  America.  Many  U.S.
investors were concerned that economic weakness abroad might derail the domestic
economy.  In response,  the Federal  Reserve Board (the "Fed") and other central
banks  throughout the world reduced  short-term  interest rates in an attempt to
stimulate global economic growth. As a result, interest rates and yields of most
money market instruments declined over the last four months of 1998.

   However,  the first eight  months of 1999  reflected  dramatically  different
economic conditions. When it became apparent early in the year that the worst of
the global financial crisis was over, many investors' concerns about an economic
slowdown  eased.  In fact,  the U.S.  economy was  actually  stronger  than most
investment professionals expected, and evidence quickly emerged that it might be
growing at unsustainable  rates. This unexpectedly robust growth triggered fears
among  fixed-income   investors  that  inflation  might  accelerate  beyond  its
prevailing low levels.  Tight labor markets and rising  commodities  prices lent
credence to this view. In response,  the Fed raised  short-term  interest  rates
twice during the summer of 1999, effectively offsetting most of the rate cuts it
had implemented last fall.

   IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, TAX-EXEMPT MONEY MARKET YIELDS GENERALLY ROSE ALONG WITH
INTEREST RATES. However, tax-exempt money market yields tended to rise less than
yields of taxable  money  market  instruments,  primarily  because of  different
supply-and-demand   influences   in  the  two  markets.   While   issuance  from
corporations  in the  taxable  market  remained  robust,  there  was a  relative
shortage of tax-exempt  instruments.  The strong economy had enabled many states
and  municipalities to improve their fiscal  operations,  reducing their need to
borrow in order to cover short-term  deficits.  Yet, demand for tax-exempt money
market  instruments  remained high from individuals and institutions  seeking to
minimize their tax liabilities.  The combination of low supply and strong demand
helped constrain the rise of tax-exempt yields relative to taxable yields.

   The  relative  shortage of  municipal  notes made it more  difficult  for the
Fund's  managers to find  high-yielding  opportunities  in high quality,  highly
liquid  instruments.   The  Fund's  management  team  found  such  opportunities
primarily  in  Variable  Rate  Demand  Notes   (VRDNs),   which  are  short-term
instruments  that are  securitized  and issued by investment  banks.  During the
first seven  months of 1999,  VRDNs  comprised  roughly  70% of total  portfolio
assets.  However,  toward the end of the  reporting  period,  even VRDNs were in
relatively short supply because of decreased  issuance.  In fact, despite higher
interest  rates,  the  yields  of VRDNs  with  daily or weekly  maturities  were
modestly  lower  at the  end of the  reporting  period  than  they  were  at the
beginning.

<PAGE>


   By focusing  primarily on VRDNs,  the Fund's  managers were able to gradually
reduce its weighted  average maturity to as low as 35 days. In a rising interest
rate environment, this maturity stance enabled the investment team to have funds
available for higher yielding instruments as they became available. The managers
also  strategically  managed  the  portfolio's  average  duration in response to
short-term technical influences, such as temporary changes in supply and demand.

   Looking forward,  the investment team believes that the Fed's shift to higher
interest rates should help ease investors' concerns regarding the possibility of
an overheated economy and rising inflation. Accordingly, the Fund's managers are
monitoring  market  conditions  carefully  to  identify  opportunities  to  take
advantage of interest-rate changes.

THE ANNUALIZED CURRENT 7-DAY YIELD reflects the amount of income generated by
the investment during that seven-day period and assumes that the income is
generated each week over a 365-day period. The yield is shown as a percentage of
the investment.

THE EFFECTIVE 7-DAY 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 current yield
because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.

Note: A money market fund's yield more closely reflects the current earnings of
the fund than does
the total return.

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION--For the fiscal year ended August 31, 1999, the Fund
paid $0.02626 per share to shareholders from net investment income. For such
period, the Fund designated all dividends paid as exempt-interest dividends.
Thus, 100% of these distributions were exempt from Federal income tax. In
addition, 12.9% of the dividends were derived from income earned from certain
government obligations which may be subject to the Federal Alternative Minimum
Tax (AMT).

COMPARISON OF 7-DAY YIELDS FOR CITIFUNDS TAX FREE RESERVES VS.
IBC FINANCIAL DATA GENERAL TAX FREE MONEY MARKET FUNDS AVERAGE

As illustrated, CitiFunds Tax Free Reserves generally provided a similar
annualized seven-day yield to that of a comparable IBC Financial Data Money
Market Funds Average, as published in IBC Money Fund ReportTM, for the one-year
period.

Note:  Mutual fund shares are not  guaranteed or insured by the Federal  Deposit

will  fluctuate and past  performance is no guarantee of future  results.  Total
return figures  include  reinvestment  of dividends.  Returns and yields reflect
certain  voluntary  fee waivers.  If the waivers  were not in place,  the Fund's
returns and yields would have been lower.

CITIFUNDS TAX FREE RESERVES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES CitiFunds Tax Free Reserves (the "Fund") is
organized  as a  Massachusetts  business  trust  and  is  registered  under  the
Investment  Company Act of 1940,  as amended,  as a  non-diversified,  open-end,
management  investment company. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in
Tax Free Reserves Portfolio (the "Portfolio"),  a management  investment company
for which Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") serves as Investment Adviser. The value of
such investment reflects the Fund's proportionate interest  (approximately 74.7%
at August 31, 1999) in the net assets of the Portfolio.  CFBDS,  Inc.  ("CFBDS")
acts as the  Fund's  Administrator  and  Distributor.  Citibank  also  serves as
Sub-Administrator  and makes Fund shares  available to customers as  Shareholder
Servicing  Agent.  Citibank is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Citicorp,  which in
turn is 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.

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

   The  financial  statements  of the  Portfolio,  including  the  portfolio  of
investments,  are  contained  elsewhere  in this  report  and  should be read in
conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.

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

   A. Investment Income The Fund earns income, net of Portfolio expenses,  daily
on its investment in the Portfolio.

   B. Federal  Taxes The Fund's  policy is to comply with the  provisions of the
Internal  Revenue  Code  available  to  regulated  investment  companies  and to
distribute to shareholders  all of its net investment  income.  Accordingly,  no
provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. At August 31, 1999, the
Fund, for federal  income tax purposes,  had a capital loss carryover of $2,390,
all of which will expire on August 31, 2005.  Such capital loss  carryover  will
reduce the Fund's  taxable  income  arising  from  future net  realized  gain on
investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue
Code, and thus will reduce the amount of  distributions  to  shareholders  which
would  otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any  liability  for federal
income tax.  Dividends paid by the Fund from net interest received on tax-exempt
money market instruments are not includeable by shareholders as gross income for
federal   income  tax  purposes   because  the  Fund  intends  to  meet  certain
requirements  of the Internal  Revenue Code  applicable to regulated  investment
companies  which will  enable  the Fund to pay  exempt-interest  dividends.  The
portion of such interest,  if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after
August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.

   C.  Expenses The Fund bears all costs of its  operations  other than expenses
specifically assumed by Citibank and CFBDS.

2.  DIVIDENDS The net income of the Fund is determined  once daily,  as of 12:00
noon Eastern  Standard Time, and all of the net income of the Fund so determined
is  declared  as a  dividend  to  shareholders  of  record  at the  time of such
determination. Dividends are distributed in the form of additional shares of the
Fund or, at the election of the shareholder, in cash (subject to the policies of
the shareholder's  Shareholder Servicing Agent) on or prior to the last business
day of the month.

                                                                               9

3. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PLAN The Fund has adopted an Administrative  Services
Plan which  provides that the Fund may obtain the services of an  Administrator,
one or more Shareholder  Servicing Agents,  and other Servicing Agents,  and may
enter into agreements providing for the payment of fees for such services. Under
the Fund's  Administrative  Services  Plan, the aggregate of the fee paid to the
Administrator  from the Fund, the fees paid to the Shareholder  Servicing Agents
from the Fund under such plan and the Basic  Distribution Fee paid from the Fund
to the  Distributor  under the  Distribution  Plan may not  exceed  0.60% of the
Fund's  average  daily  net  assets  on  an  annualized  basis  for  the  Fund's
then-current fiscal year. For the year ended August 31, 1999,  management agreed
to voluntarily limit Fund expenses to 0.65%.

   A.  Administrative  Fees  Under  the  terms  of  an  Administrative  Services
Agreement,  CFBDS is entitled to an  administrative  fee,  as  compensation  for
overall administrative services and general office facilities, which is computed
at  the  annual  rate  of  0.25%  of  the  Fund's   average  daily  net  assets.
Administrative  fees amounted to $1,291,979,  of which $418,030 was  voluntarily
waived for the year ended August 31, 1999.  Citibank  acts as  Sub-Administrator
and performs such duties and receives such  compensation from CFBDS as from time
to time is  agreed  to by CFBDS  and  Citibank.  The Fund  pays no  compensation
directly to any Trustee or any officer who is affiliated with the Administrator,
all of whom  receive  remuneration  for  their  services  to the  Fund  from the
Administrator  or its  affiliates.  Certain of the officers and a Trustee of the
Fund are officers and a director of the Administrator or its affiliates.

   B.  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent Fees The Fund has entered into  shareholder
servicing  agreements  with each  Shareholder  Servicing Agent pursuant to which
that Shareholder Servicing Agent acts as an agent for its customers and provides
other related  services.  For their services,  each Shareholder  Servicing Agent
receives  a fee from  the  Fund,  which  may be paid  periodically,  but may not
exceed,  on an annualized  basis,  an amount equal to 0.25% of the average daily
net assets of the Fund  represented  by shares owned during the period for which
payment is being made by investors  for whom such  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent
maintains a servicing relationship. Shareholder Servicing Agent fees amounted to
$1,291,979 for the year ended August 31, 1999.

4. DISTRIBUTION FEE The Fund has adopted a Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended,  in which the Fund
compensates  the Distributor at an annual rate not to exceed 0.10% of the Fund's
average daily net assets.  The  Distributor  may also receive an additional  fee
from the Fund at an annual rate not to exceed 0.10% of the Fund's  average daily
net assets in anticipation of, or as  reimbursement  for,  advertising  expenses
incurred by the  Distributor in connection  with the sale of shares of the Fund.
No  payments  of  such  additional  fees  have  been  made  during  the  period.
Distribution fees amounted to $516,792, of which $208,701 was voluntarily waived
for the year ended August 31, 1999.

5. SHARE OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to
issue an unlimited number of full and fractional  Shares of Beneficial  Interest
(without par value).

6. INVESTMENT  TRANSACTIONS  Increases and decreases in the Fund's investment in
the Portfolio aggregated $1,914,764,464 and $1,955,995,509 respectively, for the
year ended August 31, 1999.

TAX FREE RESERVES PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Tax Free Reserves Portfolio (the "Portfolio")
is  registered  under the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940,  as  amended,  as a
no-load,  nondiversified,  open-end  management  investment  company  which  was
organized as a trust under the laws of the State of New York. The Declaration of
Trust  permits the  Trustees to issue  beneficial  interests  in the  Portfolio.
CFBDS, Inc. ("CFBDS"),  acts as the Portfolio's  Administrator.  Citibank,  N.A.
("Citibank")  acts  as  the  Investment  Adviser.  Citibank  is  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Citicorp, which in turn, is 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.

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

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

   A. Valuation of Investments Money market  instruments are valued at amortized
cost,  which the Trustees have determined in good faith  constitutes fair value.
The Portfolio's  use of amortized cost is subject to the Portfolio's  compliance
with certain  conditions as specified under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment  Company
Act of 1940.

   B.  Investment  Income and Expenses  Investment  income  consists of interest
accrued and discount earned (including both original issue and market discount),
adjusted for  amortization  of premium,  on the  investments  of the  Portfolio.
Expenses of the Portfolio are accrued daily.

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

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

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

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEE

   A. Investment Advisory Fee The investment  advisory fee paid to Citibank,  as
compensation for overall investment management services, amounted to $1,461,892,
of which $637,430 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 1999. The
investment  advisory  fee is  computed  at  the  annual  rate  of  0.20%  of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   B.  Administrative  Fee  Under  the  terms  of  an  Administrative   Services
Agreement, the administrative fee payable to the Administrator,  as compensation
for overall administrative  services and general office facilities,  is computed
at the  annual  rate of 0.05% of the  Portfolio's  average  daily net assets and
amounted to  $365,473,  all of which was  voluntarily  waived for the year ended
August 31, 1999. The Portfolio pays no  compensation  directly to any Trustee or
any  officer  who is  affiliated  with the  Administrator,  all of whom  receive
remuneration  for their services to the Portfolio from the  Administrator or its
affiliates.  Certain of the officers and a Trustee of the Portfolio are officers
and a director of the Administrator or its affiliates.

3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS  Purchases,  and maturities and sales of money market
instruments, exclusive of securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements,
aggregated $2,623,416,618 and $2,678,252,942,  respectively,  for the year ended
August 31, 1999.

4. FEDERAL  INCOME TAX BASIS OF  INVESTMENT  SECURITIES  The cost of  investment
securities  owned at August 31, 1999, for federal income tax purposes,  amounted
to $664,368,417.

5. LINE OF CREDIT The  Portfolio,  along with other  CitiFunds,  entered into an
agreement  with a bank which allows the Funds  collectively  to borrow up to $75
million for temporary or emergency purposes.  Interest on borrowings, if any, is
charged to the specific  fund  executing  the  borrowing at the base rate of the
bank. The line of credit requires a quarterly  payment of a commitment fee based
on the average  daily unused  portion of the line of credit.  For the year ended
August 31, 1999, the commitment fee allocated to the Portfolio was $1,942. Since
the line of credit was established, there have been no borrowings.

                                                                              23

TAX FREE RESERVES PORTFOLIO
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES AND INVESTORS OF
TAX FREE RESERVES PORTFOLIO:

   We have  audited  the  accompanying  statement  of  assets  and  liabilities,
including the portfolio of  investments,  of Tax Free Reserves  Portfolio (a New
York Trust) as of August 31, 1999,  the related  statement of operations for the
year then  ended,  the  statement  of changes in net assets for the years  ended
August 31, 1999 and 1998, and the financial  highlights for each of the years in
the  five-year  period ended August 31, 1999.  These  financial  statements  and
financial  highlights  are the  responsibility  of the Trust's  management.  Our
responsibility  is to  express  an opinion  on these  financial  statements  and
financial highlights based on our audits.

   We  conducted  our audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance  about  whether the  financial  statements  and  financial
highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  Our procedures included  confirmation of the securities owned as of
August 31, 1999, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies
were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

   In our opinion,  such financial  statements and financial  highlights present
fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Tax Free Reserves
Portfolio at August 31, 1999, the results of its operations,  the changes in its
net assets,  and its financial  highlights for the respective  stated periods in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
