        CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
                                                                  April 12, 1996
        Dear Shareholder:
        Events of Importance
 
        - Year-End Consolidation -- Fairfield is proud to present a new format
        for the Annual Report to Shareholders, which reflects both the Navigator
        Money Market Fund results and the Navigator Tax-Free Money Market Fund
        results into one report. We will also be including the Navigator Money
        Market and Navigator Tax-Free Money Market in the same prospectus. As a
        result of the decision to make the Funds year-ends consistent, this will
        translate into lower operating costs for the Funds.
 
        - 2A-7 Revisions -- Recently, the Securities and Exchange Commission
        announced some revisions to rule 2a-7; the rule that governs money fund
        investment parameters. These amendments are an attempt by the governing
        body to reduce the possibility of a money fund's net asset value
        deviating from $1.00. (You may recall that the SEC's first pass in early
        1991 was largely directed at taxable money funds.) These new rules are
        directed toward tax-exempt money market funds and will be phased in over
        the coming months. Many of the new limitations will be non-events for
        the Navigator fund. It is the Fund's advisor's opinion that the changes
        should serve to level the playing field for the industry. For the most
        part, the more aggressively managed funds will be forced to diversify
        more, to limit that diversification in some instances, and to require a
        more formal review process for issues that have not been rated by one of
        the nationally recognized rating organizations. Your Fund's advisor is
        pleased to see that the SEC shares in the conservative investment
        philosophy Navigator has been practicing for the last decade.
 
        We have continued to follow our time-tested philosophy of quality
        investing. In this continuing period of low interest rates, with
        speculation of rates going even lower, some investment managers have
        found it tempting to reduce investment standards in order to stretch for
        a few more basis points of yield. I can assure you that is not the
        practice with the Navigator Money Market or Navigator Tax-Free Money
        Market Funds. Quality is something we take very seriously every day at
        our organization.
 
        Fairfield was built on a quality tradition, and that philosophy remains
        unchanged. We will always strive to provide all our shareholders with a
        very high quality portfolio, while still delivering industry-competitive
        returns.
 
        I'd like to thank you again for your continued confidence in the
        Navigator Money Market and Navigator Tax-Free Money Market Funds. Our
        decade-long commitment of providing a competitive product with a minimal
        degree of risk remains unchanged.
 
        Sincerely,
 
        /s/ ROBERT J. WALKER, JR.

        INVESTMENT REPORT
 
        Navigator Money Market Fund
 
        - Since our last Investment Report to you in November '95, the Federal
        Reserve approved another slight easing of monetary policy, and lowered
        the target federal funds rate 25 basis points to 5.25% at the January
        FOMC meeting. The discount rate was also reduced a similar amount to
        5.0%. The Fed cited moderating economic expansion and subdued
        inflationary pressures in its decision to reduce the two key interest
        rates.
 
        During the past three months, while some market participants assumed
        that the Fed would continue to ease, the Navigator Money Market Fund
        benefitted by continuing with the strategy of focusing on investments on
        the shorter end of the yield curve, which offered a substantial yield
        advantage over longer maturing alternatives. However, recently the Fund
        changed course and began a program to extend the average maturity of the
        portfolio. Following the release of a surprisingly strong employment
        report in early March, the likelihood that the Fed would not lower
        interest rates at their March and most likely May meetings, pushed rates
        on short-term money market instruments to higher levels. The Fund was
        well positioned at that time to take advantage of the backup in rates,
        and lengthened the average maturity of the portfolio, locking in highly
        attractive rates with maturities ranging from six to nine months. We
        believe the timing of this extension will result in a very positive
        impact on the Fund's performance.
 
        The Fund's objective remains to provide a high-quality investment
        portfolio which offers a yield which is competitive with that of its
        peers. All commercial paper held in the Navigator Money Market portfolio
        is rated "A-1+ or A-1" by Standard & Poor's and "P-1" by Moody's, the
        highest commercial paper quality ratings of both rating agencies. The
        Fund will continue to diversify by taking advantage of opportunities
        that occasionally present themselves in the U.S. Government and Agency
        markets.

        INVESTMENT REPORT
 
        Navigator Tax-Free Money Market Fund
        Economic Overview
 
        - The economy began to show signs of changing momentum over the last
        twelve month period; personal income rose in eleven months; business
        inventories rose ten of the eleven months for which data is available;
        durable goods orders were positive in only four months, yet they were
        positive for the year; retail sales rose seven of twelve months; and
        consumer confidence ended mixed to down slightly. In early July the
        Federal Reserve interpreted the economy as beginning to slow, and the
        first of three moves to lower interest rates and fuel economic expansion
        was undertaken. Inflation, meanwhile, continued to be well under control
        by remaining below 2.5% annually. Late in the calendar year Congress and
        the White House, using all their political savvy, vocalized their
        disagreement over a balanced budget amendment by shutting-down the
        federal government twice. As if that were not enough, Mother Nature
        decided to supplement one of the slowest Holiday seasons in several
        years, by paralyzing the East coast with snow in early January. Barring
        any political pressures, the Fed is expected to maintain rates for the
        summer before pushing rates higher in an effort to control inflationary
        expectations.
 
        Market and Fund Specifics
 
        The Navigator Tax Free Money Market Fund enjoyed a consistently stable
        year as the Fund approached the end of its first full decade serving
        shareholders. During the latest annual period, technical pressures
        prevailed over the movements of the Federal Reserve. The Fund's weighted
        average maturity started at 40 days, declined to a low of 18 days in
        early May, increased steadily to a high of almost 60 in mid-November,
        before ending February at 32 days. The Fund's yield also exhibited
        volatility; trending upward from 3.70% in March to the 4.00% area by
        early May, declining to the 2.80% area by early July, then steadily
        increasing to the 3.50% area by mid-November. The annual year-end
        "spike" pushed the Fund's yield from 3.10% in early December to almost
        4.30% by year-end. Each calendar year-end, the Wall Street dealer
        community manipulates the markets in preparation of the calendar
        year-end. Investors are enticed into very short-maturity issues with
        relatively high yields. Of course, broker-dealers are very sensitive
        when it comes to maintaining business, and relatively low rates are
        often required to accomplish this. The result for the tax-exempt money
        markets is an increase in rates in late December followed by a reversal
        in early January to levels lower than those experienced prior to the
        increase. Outside of an aberration in mid-January, the Fund's yield
        retreated to the 3.00%-3.25% area during most of the last two months of
        the Fund's fiscal year. Recently, new issue supply has been light, and
        expectations are for more of the same until early June.

       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
       February 29, 1996
 
       NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION
       Navigator Money Market Fund -- Prime Obligations Portfolio ("Prime
       Obligations") is a portfolio offered by Navigator Money Market Fund, Inc.
       and Navigator Tax-Free Money Market Fund ("Tax-Free Money Market") is a
       portfolio offered by Navigator Tax-Free Money Market Fund, Inc. (each
       separately referred to as a "Fund" and collectively referred to as the
       "Funds"). Navigator Money Market Fund, Inc. and Navigator Tax-Free Money
       Market Fund, Inc. (each separately referred to as the "Company" and
       collectively referred to as the "Companies"), are no-load, diversified,
       open-end investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act
       of 1940, as amended.
 
       Shares of the Funds are sold by Fairfield Group, Inc. ("Fairfield"), the
       Manager, only to banks and other institutional investors for the
       investment of their own funds, or funds for which they act in a
       fiduciary, agency, or custodial capacity.
 
       As Manager for the Companies, Fairfield, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
       Legg Mason, Inc., serves as the Funds' Investment Adviser, Administrator,
       and Distributor.
 
       Prime Obligations changed its fiscal year from May 31 to February 29.
 
       NOTE 2 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
       Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Interest
       income includes, when applicable, the pro rata amortization of premiums
       and discounts.
 
       Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are
       purchased or sold (trade date). Investment securities are valued at
       amortized cost, which approximates market value. Realized gains and
       losses are determined by using the specific identification method. The
       net realized capital gain of $2,352 by Tax-Free Money Market for the year
       ended February 29, 1996 resulted from sales of securities with proceeds
       and costs of $319,579,170 and $319,576,818, respectively.
 
       The fair value of securities for which prices cannot be determined using
       established procedures will be valued in good faith by the Board of
       Directors. No investments were so valued at February 29, 1996.
 
       Net investment income, determined as gross income less expenses, is
       declared as a dividend each day. Declared dividends are distributable to
       shareholders monthly on the first business day of the next month.
       Dividends payable at February 29, 1996 amounted to $648,758 and $232,660
       for Prime Obligations and Tax-Free Money Market, respectively.
 
       No provision for federal income taxes is made since it is the intention
       of the Funds to qualify as regulated investment companies under the
       provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and to make requisite
       distributions to shareholders which will relieve them from Federal income
       and excise taxes.
 
       For federal income tax purposes, net realized capital losses generated in
       the Funds may be carried forward and applied against future capital
       gains.
 
       NOTE 3 -- INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES

        In addition, certain investments (12.5%) are covered by insurance issued
        by several private insurers who guarantee the payment of interest and
        principal at final maturity in the event of default. Such insurance,
        however, does not guarantee the market value of the securities or the
        value of the Fund's shares. None of these insurers individually insure
        more than 9.5% of the insured investments in the portfolio.

        Report of Independent Auditors
 
        TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS
        NAVIGATOR MONEY MARKET FUND -- PRIME OBLIGATIONS PORTFOLIO
        NAVIGATOR TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND
 
        We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of Navigator
        Money Market Fund -- Prime Obligations Portfolio and of Navigator
        Tax-Free Money Market Fund as of February 29, 1996, and the related
        statements of operations for the periods indicated therein, the
        statements of changes in net assets for each of the two periods
        indicated therein, and the financial highlights for each of the five
        periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial
        highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' 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 securities owned as of February 29, 1996, by
        correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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, the financial statements and financial highlights
        referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
        financial position of Navigator Money Market Fund -- Prime Obligations
        Portfolio and of Navigator Tax-Free Money Market Fund at February 29,
        1996, the results of their operations for the periods indicated therein,
        the changes in their net assets for each of the two periods indicated
        therein, and the financial highlights for each of the five periods
        indicated therein, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
        principles.
