Report to Shareholders For the Six Months Ended March 31, 1995

Lord Abbett Tax-Free Income Fund completed the first half of fiscal year 1995 on
March 31 with aggregate net assets of $1.68 billion. The net assets of each
Series were as follows:
- -----------------------------------------
National:                  $655.8 million
New York:                  $332.9 million
Texas:                     $101.6 million
New Jersey:                $188.0 million
Connecticut:               $111.0 million
Missouri:                  $127.2 million
Hawaii:                    $ 87.6 million
Washington:                $ 73.9 million
Minnesota
(established 12/27/94):    $  2.2 million
- -----------------------------------------

The past six months have been among the most volatile on record for the
municipal bond market. The period can be divided into two distinct segments. The
first, October and November, was a continuation of the cycle which began in
February 1994 when the Federal Reserve began to raise short-term interest rates.
Investors contributed to the continued rise in interest rates and erosion of
bond prices as they sold their bonds.

The subsequent four months, the second segment of the period, saw the Federal
Reserve's actions, combined with indications of slower economic activity, cause
long-term interest rates to decline. This resulted in a solid rally in the
fixed-income markets. Municipal bonds, in particular, benefited. Prices
rebounded sharply from the oversold conditions of last fall.

The demand for municipal bonds, combined with a shortage of new issues and the
redemption of a large number of bonds with call dates between 1994 and 1996, has
provided an attractive supply/demand scenario. Given this attractive
supply/demand environment and a slowing economy, long-term municipal bonds
should be attractive to investors seeking tax-free income in the year ahead.

The Fund benefited from the decision to extend maturities last fall. Although
market sentiment for municipals was decidedly negative at that time, the
underlying fundamentals in the market (e.g., constricted future supply,
inflation under control and very cheap valuations relative to taxable bonds)
suggested municipal bond prices would increase.

Consistent with our value investment strategy, your Fund continues to focus on
high-quality issues. We believe that, although net asset values may fluctuate in
the interim, long-term investors will benefit from the Fund's management style.
We welcome any questions or comments you may have about your Fund and look
forward to helping you achieve your financial goals in the months ahead.

/(1)/Includes holdings which are not rated by independent ratings services but
     are, in Lord Abbett's opinion, of comparable quality.

/(2)/Total return is the percent change in value with dividends and capital
     gains reinvested. In the event a portfolio invests in private activity
     bonds, the interest income derived therefrom may increase the alternative
     minimum tax liability only for shareholders subject to that tax. In the
     event a portfolio does not invest entirely in municipal bonds, federal,
     state and/or local taxes (as applicable) may be applicable to interest
     income of such Series.

The results quoted herein represent past performance which is no indication of
future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in
the Series will fluctuate so that shares, on any given day or when redeemed, may
be worth more or less than their original cost.

The respective SEC-required uniformly computed average annual rates of total
return are at the maximum sales charge of 4.75%.

Important Information
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of 3/31/95, no Series of the Fund had more than 6% of its net assets invested
in residual interest bonds ("RIBs"), although each portfolio may invest up to
20% of its net assets in such securities. A RIB, sometimes referred to as an
inverse floater, is a debt instrument with a floating or variable interest rate
that moves in the opposite direction of the interest rate on another security or
the value of an index. Changes in the interest rate on the other security or
index inversely affect the residual interest paid on the RIB, with the result
that when interest rates rise, RIBs give lower interest payments and their
values fall faster than other similar fixed-rate bonds. But when interest rates
fall, not only do RIBs give higher interest payments, their values also rise
faster than other similar fixed-rate bonds. The market for RIBs is relatively
new.

If used as sales material after 6/30/95, this report must be accompanied by Lord
Abbett's Performance Quarterly for the most recently completed calendar quarter.

1. Significant Accounting Policies The Company is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment
company. Effective December 22, 1994, the Minnesota Series was added to the
Fund, and the Company received an initial capital contribution of $1,000 and
issued 210 shares to the partners of Lord, Abbett & Co. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the
Company. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting prin-
ciples. (a) Market value is determined as follows: Securities are valued at
latest prices on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing
service or, in their absence, fair value as determined under procedures approved
by the Board of Directors. (b) It is the policy of the Company to meet the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment 
companies and to distribute substantially all net investment income and net
realized gains. Therefore, there is no provision for federal income tax. (c)
Security transactions are accounted for on the date that the securities are
purchased or sold (trade date). Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis. (d) Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid
monthly. (e) The organization expenses of the New Jersey Series, Connecticut
Series, Missouri Series, Hawaii Series, Washington and Minnesota Series are
being amortized evenly over a period of five years from their respective
commencements of operations. 2. Management Fee and Other Transactions With
Affiliates The Company has a management agreement with Lord, Abbett & Co.
Pursuant to the agreement, Lord, Abbett & Co. supplies the Company with
investment management services and executive and other personnel, pays the
remuneration of officers, provides office space and pays for ordinary and
necessary office and clerical expenses relating to research, statistical work
and the supervision of the Company's investment portfolios. The management fee
is based on average daily net assets for each month at the annual rate of 1/2 of
1%. Lord, Abbett & Co. may voluntarily pay or reimburse any Series for certain
of its other expenses. Any such other expenses paid or reimbursed for the Hawaii
and Washington Series are subject to repayment by the respective Series
pursuant to a formula based on the expense ratio of that Series until five years
from the commencement of its operations or the termination of the management
agreement, whichever is earlier. As of September 30, 1993, all such amounts were
accrued for the Hawaii and Washington Series. As of March 31, 1995, no
additional amounts were accrued. From December 22, 1994 to March 31, 1995, Lord,
Abbett & Co. waived the Minnesota Series' management fee of $1,492 and assumed
$2,343 of other expenses. Lord, Abbett & Co. received the following commissions
on sales of capital stock of the Company after concessions were paid to
authorized distributors:

The Company adopted a separate Rule 12b-1 Plan which became effective June 1,
1990 for each of the National, New York and Texas Series, and which provides for
the payment of (1) an annual fee for services (payable quarterly) of .15% of the
average daily net asset value of the Company's shares sold by dealers prior to
that date and .25% of the average daily net asset value of such shares sold on
and after that date, and (2) a one-time 1% sales distribution fee, at the time
of sale, on such shares sold at net asset value of $1 million or more. Separate
Rule 12b-1 Plans have been approved for each of the New Jersey, Connecticut,
Missouri, Hawaii, Washington and Minnesota Series. Each Series' initial and
public shareholders approved its Plan, except for the Washington and Minnesota
Series' Plans which have initial shareholders' approval. Each Plan has become
effective except for the Washington and Minnesota Series which will go into
effect on the first day (the "effective date") of the calendar quarter
subsequent to each Series' net assets reaching $100 million. Each Plan provides
for the payment of (1) an annual service fee (payable quarterly) of (a) in the
case of the Connecticut and Missouri Series, .25% of the average daily net asset
value of shares sold by broker-dealers from commencement of each Series' public
offering, and (b) in the case of the Hawaii, New Jersey, Washington and
Minnesota Series, .15% of the average daily net asset value of such shares sold
prior to each Series' effective date and .25% of the average daily net asset
value of such shares sold on or after that date, and (2) a one-time 1% sales
distribution fee, at the time of sale, on such shares sold on or after the
Plan's effective date at net asset value of $1 million or more. Certain of the
Company's officers and directors have an interest in Lord, Abbett & Co. 3.
Distributions Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid
monthly. Taxable net realized gains from security transactions, if any, will be
distributed to shareholders in December 1995. At March 31, 1995, the accumulated
net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, which is
substantially the same as for federal income tax purposes, aggregated
$(22,189,091) for the National Series, $(19,450,015) for the New York Series,
$(837,843) for the Texas Series, $(5,525,413) for the New Jersey Series,
$(2,575,236) for the Connecticut Series, $(6,189,454) for the Missouri Series,
$(3,201,419) for the Hawaii Series, $(4,634,470) for the Washington Series and
$11,425 for the Minnesota Series. Income and capital gains distributions are
determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from
methods used to determine the corresponding income and capital gains amounts in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

the Company associated with Lord, Abbett & Co. and all officers of the Company
receive no compensation from the Company for acting as such. Outside Directors'
fees, including attendance fees for board and committee meetings, and outside
Directors' retirement costs, are allocated among all funds in the Lord Abbett
group based on net assets of each fund. The direct remuneration accrued during
the period for outside Directors of the Company as a group was $25,073
(exclusive of expenses), which has been deemed invested in shares of the Company
under a deferred compensation plan contemplating future payment of the value of
those shares. As of March 31, 1995, the aggregate amount in Directors' accounts
maintained under the plan was $282,414. Retirement costs accrued during the
period amounted to $7,075. 8. Change in Fiscal Year-End The financial statements

year-end was changed from March 31 to September 30.
