A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
Although the six months ended February 28, 1995 were difficult for most
financial markets, short-term investments did quite well. In fact, this was one
of very few times in the history of the financial markets in which cash
equivalent investments outperformed longer term securities. Investors in money
market instruments enjoyed correspondingly higher yields as tighter monetary
policy caused interest rates to rise in a stronger-than-expected economy.
Throughout the period, the Landmark Funds' investment adviser, Citibank,
N.A., managed Landmark California Tax Free Reserves in a manner consistent with
the policies stated in the Fund's prospectus: providing high levels of current
income that are largely exempt from both federal and California personal income
taxes, preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund seeks to offer an
attractive yield by investing in a high-quality portfolio composed primarily of
short-term municipal obligations issued by California, its municipalities and
their agencies. A portion of the Fund's income may not be exempt from California
personal income taxes.
This Semi-Annual Report reviews the Fund's investment activities and
performance over the past six months, and provides a summary of Citibank's
perspective on the financial markets and outlook for the foreseeable future. On
behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Landmark Funds, I want to thank our
shareholders for their participation and support. We look forward to serving you
in the months and years ahead.
/s/ Philip W. Coolidge

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
As of this writing, the inflation rate remains stable, the economy appears
to be slowing and long-term interest rates are moderating from their 1994 highs.
The road to this relatively positive state of economic affairs, however, was a
rocky one. Six months ago, the national economy was growing faster than its
productive capacity despite five prior increases in the federal funds rate.
Fixed-income investors remained concerned about a resurgence of inflation,
causing most long-term bond prices to fall sharply. In response to these
concerns, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates twice more during
the period--three-quarters of a percentage point in November and one-half of a
point in February--for a total of seven increases since February 4, 1994. During
that time, the federal funds rate doubled from three percent to six percent.
Although higher short-term interest rates put pressure on the prices of
longer term fixed-income securities, they had a positive effect on short-term,
cash equivalent investments. The short-term tax-exempt securities market also
performed particularly well during the six-month period as tax-exempt yields
remained high relative to taxable yields. In December, for example, six-month
municipal securities provided 71% of the yield of comparable-maturity U.S.
Treasury securities.
While California's economy continues to experience serious difficulties, it
appears to have turned the corner. In contrast to the limited supply of new
short-term, tax-exempt investments elsewhere in the U.S., the need to finance
deficit spending has resulted in a relatively plentiful supply of new issues.
The most significant event of the period was the bankruptcy of Orange County,
California in December 1994, which sent shock waves throughout the California
municipal marketplace. It is important to note that the county's problems had
more to do with poor judgement in selecting their investments than with the
underlying fundamental strength of the State's economy.

THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER RESPONDS
Citibank actively managed the Fund with an eye toward maintaining
shareholder value and generating competitive levels of tax-free income. To that
end, we continually adjusted the portfolio's sensitivity to rising interest
rates. As interest rates rose, we maintained relatively short average maturity
for the Fund, which enabled us to take advantage of investment opportunities as
they became available and to shelter the Fund from the brunt of the state-wide
sell-off precipitated by the Orange County bankruptcy.
Landmark California Tax Free Reserves held no securities issued by Orange
County, California, or its municipalities at the time of the bankruptcy.
Nonetheless, the prices of even the most creditworthy California securities fell
temporarily in the aftermath of this unusual event. When it became clear that a
market set-back was imminent, our credit analysts conducted a thorough review of
the Fund's holdings (in addition to the exhaustive analyses before purchase) to
make certain that their underlying fundamentals remained sound. The Fund
continued to maintain a stable $1.00 share price throughout the period, and in
the weeks since the bankruptcy became public, many of the Fund's holdings have
bounced back strongly as investors have come to recognize their
creditworthiness. We continue to maintain a defensive investment posture in
California, characterized by a shorter-than-average maturity and careful
security selection. We are focusing on short-term municipal issues and
tax-exempt commercial paper that are relatively resistant to market declines.
FUND QUOTES FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
"We owned no securities from Orange County, California, at the time of the
bankruptcy, so we didn't have to worry about some of the issues other California
tax-exempt funds confronted."
"We thoroughly investigate the investment policies of the issuers in which we
invest."
STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Nationally, while the Federal Reserve may increase short-term interest
rates again if the national economy grows at an inflationary pace, we believe
that most of the increases are behind us. Indeed, we would not be surprised if
the Federal Reserve begins to loosen their reins on monetary policy in the
months ahead as the economy slows to more sustainable levels.
Citibank's strategy looking forward is the same one that we have employed
over the past six months: we intend to adjust the average maturity and
investment mix of the Fund in response to changes in economic and market
conditions. If short-term interest rates begin to fall over the next six months,
we are prepared to lengthen maturities to maintain higher yields for as long as
possible. If, on the other hand, interest rates begin to rise, we may maintain
shorter maturities to help ensure participation in higher yielding investments
as they become available.
As Orange County's situation becomes resolved and as it becomes clear that
other municipalities will not find themselves in a similar situation, we will
implement a more aggressive investment strategy. Over the near-term, however, we
remain cautious and expect to focus on secure issues such as those backed by
private insurance or bank letters of credit. We will continue to carefully
monitor the U.S. and California economies, monetary policy and other factors
that affect short-term tax-exempt securities.

7-DAY YIELDS
- - ------------
Annualized Current 3.77%
Effective 3.84%
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.
7-DAY YIELD COMPARISONS
As the graph illustrates, Landmark California Tax Free Reserves generally had a
higher average than comparable Money Market Funds, as published in
IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report over most of the period.

Notes: The Fund seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 per share price, although there
is no assurance that this will be so on a continuing basis. Fund shares are not
insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Yields and total returns 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
would have been lower and the 7-day annualized current yield would have been
3.37%.

Landmark California Tax Free Reserves
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Landmark California Tax Free Reserves (the "Fund") is a separate non-diversified
series of Landmark Multi-State Tax Free Funds (the "Trust"), which is organized
as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, management investment company. The
Investment Adviser of the Fund is Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"). The Landmark
Funds Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("LFBDS") acts as the Trust's Administrator
and Distributor. Citibank also serves as Sub-Administrator and makes shares
available to customers through various Shareholder Servicing Agents.
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and 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 Fund's use of amortized cost is subject to the Fund's compliance with
certain conditions as specified under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of
1940.
B. INTEREST INCOME -- Interest income consists of interest accrued, less the
amortization of any premium and accretion of market discount on the investments
of the Fund.
C. 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, 1994, the
Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $988,
which will expire August 31, 2002. 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 includable 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.
D. EXPENSES -- The Fund bears all costs of its operations other than expenses
specifically assumed by Citibank and LFBDS. Expenses incurred by the Trust with
respect to any two or more Funds in a series are allocated in proportion to the
average net assets of each fund, except when allocations of direct expenses to
each fund can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses directly attributable to a fund
are charged to that fund.
E. OTHER -- Purchases, and maturities and sales, of money market instruments are
accounted for on the date of the transaction.
(2) DIVIDENDS
The net income of the Fund is determined once daily, as of 12:00 noon, New York
City 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.
(3) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES
The investment advisory fee paid to Citibank, as compensation for overall
investment management services, amounted to $48,686, all of which was
voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 1995. The investment
advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily
net assets.
(4) ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PLAN
The Trust has adopted an Administrative Services Plan (the "Administrative
Services Plan") which provides that the Trust, on behalf of each 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 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.
A. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES -- Under the terms of an Administrative Services
Agreement, LFBDS is entitled to an administrative fee from the Fund, as
compensation for overall administrative services and general office facilities,
which is computed at the annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net
assets. The administrative fee amounted to $36,514, all of which was voluntarily
waived for the six months ended February 28, 1995. Citibank acts as
Sub-Administrator and performs such duties and receives such compensation from
LFBDS as from time to time is agreed to by LFBDS 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 Trust, on behalf of 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 fees from the Fund, which may be paid
periodically, which may not exceed, on an annualized basis, an amount equal to
0.40% of the average daily net assets of the Fund represented by shares owned
during the period by investors for whom such Shareholder Servicing Agent
maintains a servicing relationship. Shareholder Servicing Agent fees amounted to
$97,372, all of which was voluntarily waived for the six months ended February
28, 1995.
(5) DISTRIBUTION FEES
The Trust has adopted a Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, in which the Fund reimburses the
Distributor for expenses incurred or anticipated in connection with the sale of
shares of the Fund, 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 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 to date. Under the Administrative Services Plan the
distribution fees were computed at an annual rate of 0.05% of the Fund's average
daily net assets. The distribution fee amounted to $12,171, all of which was
voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 1995.
(6) SHARES 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).
(7) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases, and maturities and sales, of money market instruments aggregated
$178,631,555 and $183,865,000, respectively, for the six months ended February
28, 1995.
(8) FEDERAL INCOME TAX BASIS OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The cost of investment securities owned at February 28, 1995, for federal income
tax purposes, amounted to $47,460,226.
(9) ASSUMPTION OF EXPENSES
LFBDS has voluntarily agreed to pay a portion of the unwaived expenses of the
Fund for the six months ended February 28, 1995, which amounted to $38,428.
(10) LINE OF CREDIT
The Fund, along with other Landmark Funds, entered into an agreement with a bank
which allows the Funds collectively to borrow up to $40 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. In addition, the $15
million committed portion of 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 six months ended February 28, 1995, the commitment fee allocated
to the Fund was $192. Since the line of credit was established there have been
no borrowings.

A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
Although the six months ended February 28, 1995 were difficult for most
financial markets, short-term investments did quite well. In fact, this was one
of very few times in the history of the financial markets in which cash
equivalent investments outperformed longer term securities. Investors in money
market instruments enjoyed correspondingly higher yields as tighter monetary
policy caused interest rates to rise in a stronger-than-expected economy.
Throughout the period, the Landmark Funds' investment adviser, Citibank,
N.A., managed Landmark Connecticut Tax Free Reserves in a manner consistent with
the policies stated in the Fund's prospectus: providing high levels of current
income that are largely exempt from federal and Connecticut personal income
taxes, preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund seeks to offer an
attractive yield by investing primarily in a high-quality portfolio of
short-term municipal obligations issued by Connecticut, its municipalities and
their agencies. A portion of the Fund's income may not be exempt from
Connecticut personal income taxes.
This Semi-Annual Report reviews the Fund's investment activities and
performance over the past six months, and provides a summary of Citibank's
perspective on the financial markets and outlook for the foreseeable future. On
behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Landmark Funds, I want to thank our
shareholders for their participation and support. We look forward to serving you
in the months and years ahead.
/s/ Philip W. Coolidge

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
As of this writing, the inflation rate remains stable, the economy appears
to be slowing and long-term interest rates are moderating from their 1994 highs.
The road to this relatively positive state of economic affairs, however, was a
rocky one. Six months ago, the national economy was growing faster than its
productive capacity despite five prior increases in the federal funds rate.
Fixed-income investors remained concerned about a resurgence of inflation,
causing most long-term bond prices to fall sharply. In response to these
concerns, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates twice more during
the period--three-quarters of a percentage point in November and one-half of a
point in February--for a total of seven increases since February 4, 1994. During
that time, the federal funds rate doubled from three percent to six percent.
Although higher short-term interest rates put pressure on the prices of
longer term fixed-income securities, they had a positive effect on short-term,
cash equivalent investments. The short-term tax-exempt securities market also
performed particularly well during the six-month period as tax-exempt yields
remained high relative to taxable yields. In December, for example, six-month
municipal securities provided 71% of the yield of comparable-maturity U.S.
Treasury securities.
Although Connecticut's economy is not growing as rapidly as the national
average, economic conditions continue to be sound. Revenues from the state
income tax and other sources have reduced the state's borrowing needs, resulting
in a relative scarce supply of new short-term municipal issues. The most
significant event of the period was the November, 1994, election when Republican
John G. Rowland was elected Governor after incumbent Lowell Weicker chose not to
seek a second term. Mr. Rowland ran on a platform promising gradual repeal of
the Connecticut state income tax.

THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER RESPONDS
Citibank actively managed the Fund with an eye toward maintaining
shareholder value and generating competitive levels of tax-free income. To that
end, we continually adjusted the portfolio's sensitivity to rising interest
rates. We began the period with an average maturity significantly shorter than
the average Connecticut tax-free money market fund. In addition, assets grew
substantially in the last six months, and the Fund ended the period with more
than $50 million under management. The combination of a relatively short average
maturity and a steady inflow of new assets helped give us flexibility to invest
in higher yielding securities as they became available.
Limited supplies of new short-term municipal securities in Connecticut
produced an investment environment in which investors were competing for
whatever securities became available, effectively constraining the rise of
yields. Accordingly, we looked for creditworthy investments with competitive
yields in smaller issues. This ongoing search found several small, nonrated
issues from financially strong school districts that, after a thorough review by
our credit analysts, proved to be quite attractive. At times, issuers are
unwilling to pay the fees that independent rating services charge for smaller
issues, preferring instead to offer slightly higher yields on investments that
would otherwise be highly rated.
FUND QUOTES FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
"There is very little new supply of municipal securities in Connecticut, but we
have found attractive investments in smaller, nonrated school districts."
"As assets have flowed into the Fund, we have had more flexibility to adjust
maturities and enhance returns."
STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Although the Federal Reserve may increase short-term interest rates again
if the national economy grows at an inflationary pace, we believe that most of
the increases are behind us. Indeed, we would not be surprised if the Federal
Reserve begins to loosen their reins on monetary policy in the months ahead as
the economy slows to more sustainable levels.
Citibank's strategy looking forward is the same one that we have employed
over the past six months: we intend to adjust the average maturity and
investment mix of the Fund in response to changes in economic and market
conditions. If short-term interest rates begin to fall over the next six months,
we are prepared to lengthen maturities to maintain higher yields for as long as
possible. If, on the other hand, interest rates begin to rise, we may shorten
maturities to help ensure participation in higher yielding investments as they
become available.
The effects of a new administration in Hartford remain to be seen. While
spending cuts should help reduce the need for tax revenues, we are not convinced
that the State can afford to reduce or eliminate income taxes without shifting
financial burdens to local municipalities and school districts. We will continue
to carefully monitor the U.S. and Connecticut economies, monetary policy and
other factors that affect short-term tax-exempt securities.

7-DAY YIELDS
- - ----------
Annualized Current 4.01%
Effective 4.09%
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.
7-DAY YIELD COMPARISONS
As the graph indicates, the seven day yield of Landmark Connecticut Tax Free
Reserves generally exceeded that of the IBC/Donoghue comparable average of
similar money funds, as reported in the IBC/Donoghue Money Fund Report, for most
of the period.

Notes: The Fund seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 per share price, although there
is no assurance that this will be so on a continuing basis. Fund shares are not
insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Yields and total returns 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
would have been lower and the 7-Day annualized current yield would have been
3.36%.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Landmark Connecticut Tax Free Reserves (the "Fund") is a separate
non-diversified series of Landmark Multi-State Tax Free Funds (the "Trust"),
which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, management
investment company. The Investment Adviser of the Fund is Citibank, N.A.
("Citibank"). The Landmark Funds Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("LFBDS") acts as
the Trust's Administrator and Distributor. Citibank also serves as
Sub-Administrator and makes shares available to customers through various
Shareholder Servicing Agents.
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and 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 Fund's use of amortized cost is subject to the Fund's compliance with
certain conditions as specified under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of
1940.
B. INTEREST INCOME -- Interest income consists of interest accrued, less the
amortization of any premium and accretion of market discount on the investments
of the Fund.
C. 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. Dividends paid by the
Fund from net interest received on tax-exempt money market instruments are not
includable 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.
D. EXPENSES -- The Fund bears all costs of its operations other than expenses
specifically assumed by Citibank and LFBDS. Expenses incurred by the Trust with
respect to any two or more Funds in a series are allocated in proportion to the
average net assets of each fund, except when allocations of direct expenses to
each fund can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses directly attributable to a fund
are charged to that fund.
E. OTHER -- Purchases, and maturities and sales, of money market instruments are
accounted for on the date of the transaction.
(2) DIVIDENDS
The net income of the Fund is determined once daily, as of 12:00 noon, New York
City 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.
(3) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES
The investment advisory fee paid to Citibank, as compensation for overall
investment management services, amounted to $28,173, all of which was
voluntarily waived for the period ended February 28, 1995. The investment
advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily
net assets.
(4) ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PLAN
The Trust has adopted an Administrative Services Plan (the "Administrative
Services Plan") which provides that the Trust, on behalf of each 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 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.
A. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES -- Under the terms of an Administrative Services
Agreement, LFBDS is entitled to an administrative fee from the Fund, as
compensation for overall administrative services and general office facilities,
which is computed at the annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net
assets. The Administrator's fees amounted to $21,130, all of which was
voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 1995. Citibank acts as
Sub-Administrator and performs such duties and receives such compensation from
LFBDS as from time to time is agreed to by LFBDS 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 Trust, on behalf of 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 fees from the Fund, which may be paid
periodically, which may not exceed, on an annualized basis, an amount equal to
0.40% of the average daily net assets of the Fund represented by shares owned
during the period by investors for whom such Shareholder Servicing Agent
maintains a servicing relationship. Shareholder Servicing Agent fees amounted to
$56,346, all of which was voluntarily waived for the six months ended February
28, 1995.
(5) DISTRIBUTION FEES
The Trust has adopted a Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, in which the Fund reimburses the
Distributor for expenses incurred or anticipated in connection with the sale of
shares of the Fund, 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 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 to date. Under the Administrative Services Plan the
distribution fees were computed at an annual rate of 0.05% of the Fund's average
daily net assets and amounted to $7,043, all of which was voluntarily waived for
the six months ended February 28, 1995.
(6) SHARES 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).
(7) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS Purchases, and maturities and sales, of money market
instruments aggregated $97,530,939 and $63,420,000, respectively, for the six
months ended February 28, 1995.
(8) FEDERAL INCOME TAX BASIS OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The cost of investment securities owned at February 28, 1995, for federal income
tax purposes, amounted to $49, 949,957.
(9) ASSUMPTION OF EXPENSES
LFBDS has voluntarily agreed to pay all of the unwaived expenses of the Fund for
the six months ended February 28, 1995, which amounted to $83,942. Effective
March 1, 1995 the Fund accrued expenses at an annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund's
average daily net assets.
(10) LINE OF CREDIT
The Fund, along with other Landmark Funds, entered into an agreement with a bank
which allows the Funds collectively to borrow up to $40 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. In addition, the $15
million committed portion of 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 six months ended February 28, 1995, the commitment fee allocated
to the Fund was $104. Since the line of credit was established there have been
no borrowings.

A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
Although the six months ended February 28, 1995 were difficult for most
financial markets, short-term investments did quite well. In fact, this was one
of very few times in the history of the financial markets in which cash
equivalent investments outperformed longer term securities. Investors in money
market instruments enjoyed correspondingly higher yields as tighter monetary
policy caused interest rates to rise in a stronger-than-expected economy.
Throughout the period, the Landmark Funds investment adviser, Citibank,
N.A., managed Landmark New York Tax Free Reserves in a manner consistent with
the policies stated in the Funds prospectus: providing high levels of current
income that are largely exempt from federal, New York State and New York City
personal income taxes, preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund seeks to
offer an attractive yield by investing in a high-quality portfolio of primarily
short-term municipal obligations issued by New York State, its municipalities
and their agencies. A portion of the Funds income may not be exempt from New
York State and New York City personal income taxes.
This Semi-Annual Report reviews the Funds investment activities and
performance over the past six months, and provides a summary of Citibanks
perspective on the financial markets and outlook for the foreseeable future. On
behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Landmark Funds, I want to thank our
shareholders for their participation and support. We look forward to serving you
in the months and years ahead.
/S/ Philip W. Coolidge

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
As of this writing the inflation rate remains stable, the economy appears to
be slowing and long-term interest rates are moderating from their 1994 highs.
The road to this relatively positive state of economic affairs, however, was a
rocky one. Six months ago, the national economy was growing faster than its
productive capacity despite five prior increases in the federal funds rate.
Fixed-income investors remained concerned about a resurgence of inflation,
causing most long-term bond prices to fall sharply. In response to these
concerns, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates twice more --
three-quarters of a percentage point in November and one-half of a point in
February -- for a total of seven increases since February 4, 1994. During that
time, the federal funds rate doubled from three percent to six percent.
Although higher short-term interest rates put pressure on the prices of
longer term fixed-income securities, they had a positive effect on short-term,
cash equivalent investments. The short-term tax-exempt securities market also
performed particularly well during the six-month period as tax-exempt yields
remained high relative to taxable yields. In December, for example, 6-month
municipal securities provided 71% of the yield of comparable-maturity U.S.
Treasury securities.
While New Yorks economy is not growing as rapidly as the national average,
economic conditions continue to be sound. The absence of a budget deficit for
fiscal year 1995 reduced the states borrowing needs, resulting in a relative
scarce supply of new short-term municipal issues. The most significant event of
the period was the November, 1994, election, when George Pataki defeated
gubernatorial incumbent Mario Cuomo, largely on an income-tax reduction
platform. New York Citys financial condition also appears to be generally sound,
especially in light of spending cuts implemented by Mayor Giuliani.

FUND QUOTES FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
"The supply of new issues of municipal securities was down from 1993's levels,
which helped support yields."
"Our focus on pre-refunded, high-coupon municipal securities gave us a degree of
protection in a rising interest-rate environment."
"When supply starts to come back in the short-term market, we expect to extend
maturities to lock in high rates."
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER RESPONDS
Citibank actively managed the Fund with an eye toward maintaining
shareholder value and generating competitive levels of tax-free income. To that
end, we continually adjusted the portfolios sensitivity to rising interest
rates. For example, during September, 1994, we extended the Funds average
maturity in order to lock in relatively high yields on tax-exempt securities.
Later in the period, we reduced the portfolios average maturity to the neutral
range (in line with prevailing averages) in order to keep some cash available
and take advantage of new opportunities.
Limited supplies of new short-term municipal securities in New York State
produced an investment environment in which investors were competing for
whatever securities became available, effectively constraining the rise of
yields. Accordingly, we looked for creditworthy investments with competitive
yields in smaller issues. This ongoing search found several small, nonrated
issues from financially strong school districts that, after a thorough review by
our credit analysts, proved to be quite attractive. At times, issuers are
unwilling to pay the fees that independent rating services charge for smaller
issues, preferring instead to offer slightly higher yields on investments that
would otherwise be highly rated.
STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Although the Federal Reserve may increase short-term interest rates again if
the national economy grows at an inflationary pace, we believe that most of the
increases are behind us. Indeed, we would not be surprised if the Federal
Reserve begins to loosen their reins on monetary policy in the months ahead as
the economy slows to more sustainable levels.
Citibanks strategy looking forward is the same one that we have employed
over the past six months: we intend to adjust the average maturity and
investment mix of the Fund in response to changes in economic and market
conditions. If short-term interest rates begin to fall over the next six months,
we are prepared to lengthen maturities to maintain higher yields for as long as
possible. If, on the other hand, interest rates begin to rise, we may shorten
maturities to participate in higher yielding investments as they become
available.
The effects of a new Republican administration in Albany remain to be seen.
While spending cuts should help reduce the need for tax revenues, we are not
convinced that the State can afford to reduce income taxes significantly without
shifting financial burdens to local municipalities and school districts. We will
continue to carefully monitor the U.S. and New York economies, monetary policy
and other factors that affect short-term tax-exempt securities.

7-Day Yields
- - ----------
Annualized Current 3.31%
Effective 3.37%
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.
As the graph illustrates, Landmark New York Tax Free Reserves generally provided
a higher annualized seven-day yield than the average of comparable Money Market
Funds, as published in IBC/Donoghues Money Fund Report over most of the one year
period.

Notes: The Fund seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 per share price, although there
is no assurance that this will be so on a continuing basis. Fund shares are not
insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Yields and total returns 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Landmark New York Tax Free Reserves (the "Fund") is a separate non-diversified
series of Landmark Multi-State Tax Free Funds (the "Trust") which is organized
as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, management investment company. The
Investment Adviser of the Fund is Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"). The Landmark
Funds Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("LFBDS") acts as the Trust's Administrator
and Distributor. Citibank also serves as Sub-Administrator and makes Fund shares
available to customers through various Shareholder Servicing Agents.
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and 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 Fund's use of amortized cost is subject to the Fund's compliance with
certain conditions as specified under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of
1940.
B. INTEREST INCOME -- Interest income consists of interest accrued less the
amortization of any premium and accretion of market discount on the investments
of the Fund.
C. 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, 1994, the
Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $29,406,
of which $23,868 will expire on August 31, 1996, and $5,538 will expire on
August 31, 1999. 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
includable 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.
D. EXPENSES -- The Fund bears all costs of its operations other than expenses
specifically assumed by Citibank and LFBDS. Expenses incurred by the Trust with
respect to any two or more Funds in the series are allocated in proportion to
the average net assets of each fund, except when allocations of direct expenses
to each fund can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses directly attributable to a
fund are charged to that fund.
E. OTHER -- Purchases, and maturities and sales of money market instruments are
accounted for on the date of the transaction.
(2) DIVIDENDS
The net income of the Fund is determined once daily, as of 12:00 noon, New York
City 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.
<PAGE>
(3) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES
The investment advisory fee paid to Citibank, as compensation for overall
investment management services, amounted to $669,005 of which $113,461 was
voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 1995. The investment
advisory fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily
net assets.
(4) ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PLAN
The Trust has adopted an Administrative Services Plan (the "Administrative
Services Plan") which provides that the Trust on behalf of each 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 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.
A. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES -- Under the terms of an Administrative Services
Agreement, the administrative fee paid to the Administrator, as compensation for
overall administrative services and general office facilities, is computed at
the annual rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets, provided that
the aggregate of any such fee paid to the Administrator and the basic
distribution fee paid to the Distributor may not exceed an amount equal to 0.20%
of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the six months ended February 28,
1995, the Administrator received fees computed at the annual rate of 0.15% of
the Fund's average daily net assets which amounted to $501,754, of which $6,198
was voluntarily waived. Citibank acts as Sub-Administrator and performs such
duties and receives such compensation from LFBDS as from time to time is agreed
to by LFBDS 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 or a
director of the Administrator or its affiliates.
B. SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENTS FEES -- The Trust on behalf of 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 fees from the Fund, which may be paid
periodically, which may not exceed, on an annualized basis, an amount equal to
0.40% of the average daily net assets of the Fund represented by shares owned
during the period by investors for whom such Shareholder Servicing Agent
maintains a servicing relationship. Shareholder Servicing Agents fees amounted
to $1,338,009, of which $501,753 was voluntarily waived for the six months ended
February 28, 1995.
(5) DISTRIBUTION FEES
The Trust has adopted a Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, in which the Fund reimburses the
Distributor for expenses incurred or anticipated in connection with sales of
shares of the Fund, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.05% of the Fund's average
daily net assets. The Distributor may also receive an additional fee from the
Fund 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 to date. For the six months ended February 28, 1995, the
distribution fees were computed at the annual rate of 0.05% of the Fund's
average daily net assets and amounted to $167,251, of which $107,264 was
voluntarily waived.
<PAGE>
(6) SHARES 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).
(7) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases, and maturities and sales, of money market instruments aggregated
$952,311,157 and $928,671,000, respectively, for the six months ended February
28, 1995.
(8) FEDERAL INCOME TAX BASIS OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The cost of investment securities owned at February 28, 1995, for federal income
tax purposes, amounted to $708,058,593.
(9) LINE OF CREDIT
The Fund, along with other Landmark Funds, entered into an agreement with a bank
which allows the Funds collectively to borrow up to $40 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. In addition, the $15
million committed portion of 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 six months ended February 28, 1995, the commitment fee allocated
to the Fund was $2,798. Since the line of credit was established, there have
been no borrowings.
