A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
Short-term tax-exempt securities from issuers in New York State produced
competitive returns commensurate with safety during the six-month period ended
February 28, 1997. When the period began, the economic environment was one of
subdued growth, unchanged monetary policy, relatively low interest rates and low
inflation, albeit with a moderately upward bias. These conditions soon changed:
the fourth quarter of 1996 saw more robust economic growth than most economists
had expected. Yet, the absence of accompanying inflationary pressures has
enabled the Federal Reserve Board to hold monetary policy steady and keep
interest rates low.
In this environment, the Landmark Funds' investment adviser, Citibank,
N.A., continued to manage Landmark New York Tax Free Reserves with the goal of
achieving its investment objectives: 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 primarily in high-quality short-term municipal
obligations issued by New York State, its municipalities and their agencies.
This report reviews the Fund's investment activities and performance during
the six months ended February 28, 1997, and provides a summary of Citibank's
perspective on and outlook for New York's tax-free money market securities
marketplace. On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Landmark Funds, I want to
thank you for your confidence and participation.
/s/ Philip W. Coolidge

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Although the economy during the first half of 1996 was stronger than most
economists expected, by September economic growth had moderated to a rate well
below the level at which the Federal Reserve Board's monetary policy-makers
begin to worry about inflation. This favorable environment proved to be positive
for most fixed-income securities, in large part because the Federal Reserve was
able to hold monetary policy steady after their most recent rate cut in January,
1996.
By the end of January, 1997, however, it became apparent that the U.S.
economy had accelerated at an annualized 4.7% rate during the fourth quarter of
1996, a higher level of growth than most market-watchers expected. This
increase, coupled with gains in employment and industrial production, once again
raised concern among some investors that an acceleration of inflation might be
imminent. Yet, other reliable leading indicators of inflation subsequently told
a different story, reassuring the markets that low levels of inflation were
likely to continue.
Economic conditions in New York State appeared to improve during the period
as the current fiscal year apparently will end with a budget surplus of more
than $1 billion. If the revenue and spending forecasts in next year's budget are
realized, New York State could receive an upgrade from A- to A in its credit
rating from Standard & Poor's, a major bond rating agency.

FUND QUOTES FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
"Fourth quarter 1996 economic growth was stronger than expected, and we are
watching carefully to see if that strength continues or returns to
noninflationary levels."
"We took advantage of high-quality nonrated notes issued by school districts
that are considered by our analysts to be equivalent to the highest quality
rated securities."
"New York's economy appears to be strong and the state should end the fiscal
year with a surplus, despite the fact that the state legislature is perennially
late adopting a budget."
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER RESPONDS
As economic activity slowed in August and September, interest rates
declined modestly, retracing some of their gains from earlier in the year. Our
strategy in this environment was to maintain the stance we had adopted at the
end of July, 1996: a longer-than-average maturity intended to maintain
prevailing yields for as long as practical in a declining interest rate
environment.
We maintained this longer-than-neutral posture throughout the period,
shortening and lengthening within a well defined range to take advantage of
changing supply-demand relationships in the municipal securities market. Just
prior to times when New York and its municipalities came to the market to issue
new securities, we shortened our average maturity to take advantage of the
temporary increase in supply. During such times, we strive to lock in
incrementally higher yields for as long as possible in anticipation of lower
interest rates.
The Fund consisted of a diverse array of short-term tax-exempt securities
throughout the six-month period. Most significantly, we increased our exposure
to non-rated notes issued by small school districts. Because of their small
size, these issuers chose not to pay for a credit evaluation by the major bond
rating agencies, and they therefore are not considered by some institutional
investors who rely on such reports. At Citibank, our analysts carefully evaluate
the creditworthiness of each issuer and approve non-rated securities for
purchase only if their credit quality is considered equivalent to the major
agencies' highest ratings.
In accordance with its investment policies, the Fund also focused on
variable-rate floaters and commercial paper, both of which provided higher
yields than New York's general obligation municipal securities. At times when
high-quality New York securities are unavailable, we will purchase Puerto Rico
short-term obligations. These investments are exempt from federal and state
income taxes, although they typically offer somewhat lower yields than New York
securities.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Our outlook for 1997 is cautiously optimistic. While we expect inflation to
remain benign for the first part of 1997, we are aware of the risk that, if
economic growth during the first quarter of 1997 is as strong as it was in the
fourth quarter of 1996, the Federal Reserve probably would raise key short-term
interest rates. In such an event, we might attempt to reduce the Fund's average
maturity toward the neutral range to take advantage of higher yielding
opportunities if they become available. We could also seek to increase our
exposure to variable-rate securities that tend to do well in rising
interest-rate environments.
At this point, however, we believe that the fourth quarter's economic
strength was a temporary anomaly, and we expect the first part of 1997 to show a
market environment remarkably similar to the one that prevailed in the third
quarter of 1996: moderate growth, low inflation, modestly declining interest
rates and an unchanged monetary policy. Our strategy in this environment is to
maintain an average duration in the longer-than-neutral range. If the national
economy slows over the near term, we could maintain a longer-than-average
maturity in order to maintain competitive yields in a declining interest rate
environment.

7-DAY YIELDS
- ------------
Annualized Current 2.77%
Effective 2.81%
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.

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 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 Fund 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 and accretion
of market discount less the amortization of any premium 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, 1996, the
Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $5,031
which 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. FEES PAID INDIRECTLY -- The Fund's custodian bank calculates its fees based
on the Fund'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 Fund.
This amount is shown as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations.
F. OTHER -- Purchases, 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 $939,870 of which $280,459 was
voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 1997. 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 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.The
Administrative fees amounted to $1,174,837 of which $444,045 was voluntarily
waived for the six months ended February 28, 1997. 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, 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 by investors for whom such Shareholder Servicing Agent
maintains a servicing relationship. Shareholder Servicing Agents fees amounted
to $1,174,837, for the six months ended February 28, 1997.
(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 0.10% of the Fund's average
daily net assets. The Distribution fees amounted to $469,935, of which $241,501
was voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 1997. 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.
(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
$911,644,453 and $883,189,680, respectively, for the six months ended February
28, 1997.
(8) FEDERAL INCOME TAX BASIS OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The cost of investment securities owned at February 28, 1997, for federal income
tax purposes, amounted to $1,027,680,093.
(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. The line of credit
requires a quarterly payment of a commitment fee based on the average daily

A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
Short-term tax-exempt securities from issuers in California produced
competitive returns commensurate with safety during the six-month period ended
February 28, 1997. When the period began, the economic environment was one of
subdued growth, unchanged monetary policy, relatively low interest rates and low
inflation, albeit with a moderately upward bias. These conditions soon changed:
the fourth quarter of 1996 saw more robust economic growth than most economists
had expected. Yet, the absence of accompanying inflationary pressures has
enabled the Federal Reserve Board to hold monetary policy steady and keep
interest rates low.
In this environment, the Landmark Funds' investment adviser, Citibank,
N.A., continued to manage Landmark California Tax Free Reserves with the goal of
achieving its investment objectives: 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 primarily in high-quality short-term municipal obligations
issued by California, its municipalities and their agencies.
This report reviews the Fund's investment activities and performance during
the six months ended February 28, 1997, and provides a summary of Citibank's
perspective on and outlook for California's tax-free money market securities
marketplace. On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Landmark Funds, I want to
thank you for your confidence and participation.
/s/ Philip W. Coolidge

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Although the economy during the first half of 1996 was stronger than most
economists expected, by September economic growth had moderated to a rate well
below the level at which the Federal Reserve Board's monetary policy-makers
begin to worry about inflation. This favorable environment proved to be positive
for most fixed-income securities, in large part because the Federal Reserve was
able to hold monetary policy steady after their most recent rate cut in January,
1996.
By the end of January, 1997, however, it became apparent that the U.S.
economy had accelerated at an annualized 4.7% rate during the fourth quarter of
1996, a higher level of growth than most market-watchers expected. This
increase, coupled with gains in employment and industrial production, once again
raised concern among some investors that an acceleration of inflation might be
imminent. Yet, other reliable leading indicators of inflation subsequently told
a different story, reassuring the markets that low levels of inflation were
likely to continue.
Economic conditions in California continued to improve during the period,
and the current fiscal year apparently will end with a state budget surplus.
However, the passage of Proposition 218 -- a measure that would require voter
approval of certain municipal financing activities--has raised concern among
analysts that it may become more difficult for California's counties, towns and
cities to raise revenues. The state legislature and courts may review the
language of certain sections of the Proposition during the coming year, and they
are expected to issue clarifications and legal interpretations accordingly.

FUND QUOTES FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
"Fourth quarter 1996 economic growth was stronger than expected, and we are
watching carefully to see if that strength continues or returns to
noninflationary levels."
"We have kept our average maturity long since rates rose last July to their
highest levels of 1996. We extended maturities at that time to lock in as much
yield as we possibly could."
"The passage of Proposition 218 raises questions about California
municipalities' future ability to borrow in the tax-exempt marketplace. Those
questions may be answered in 1997 by the courts and the California state
legislature."
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER RESPONDS
As economic activity slowed in August and September, interest rates
declined modestly, retracing some of their gains from earlier in the year. Our
strategy in this environment was to maintain the stance we had adopted at the
end of July, 1996: a longer-than-average maturity intended to maintain
prevailing yields for as long as practical in a declining interest rate
environment.
We maintained this longer-than-neutral posture throughout the period,
shortening and lengthening within a well defined range to take advantage of
changing supply-demand relationships in the municipal securities market. Just
prior to times when California came to the market to issue new securities, we
shortened our average maturity to take advantage of the temporary increase in
supply. During such times, we strive to lock in incrementally higher yields for
as long as possible in anticipation of lower interest rates.
The Fund consisted of a diverse array of short-term tax-exempt securities
throughout the six-month period. Most significantly, we maintained our positions
in tax-exempt commercial paper, put bonds and variable-rate demand paper. We
have also been buyers of tax-exempt notes issued by the state and carefully
selected municipalities.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Our outlook for 1997 is cautiously optimistic. While we expect inflation to
remain benign for the first part of 1997, we are aware of the risk that, if
economic growth during the first quarter of 1997 is as strong as it was in the
fourth quarter of 1996, the Federal Reserve probably would raise key short-term
interest rates. In such an event, we might attempt to reduce the Fund's average
maturity toward the neutral range to be able to take advantage of higher
yielding opportunities if they become available. We would also seek to increase
our exposure to variable-rate securities that tend to do well in rising
interest-rate environments.
At this point, however, we believe that the fourth quarter's economic
strength was a temporary anomaly, and we expect the first part of 1997 to show a
market environment remarkably similar to the one that prevailed in the third
quarter of 1996: moderate growth, low inflation, modestly declining interest
rates and an unchanged monetary policy. Our strategy in this environment is to
maintain an average duration in the longer-than-neutral range. If the national
economy slows over the near term, we could maintain a longer-than-average
maturity in order to maintain competitive yields in a declining interest rate
environment.

7-DAY YIELDS

Annualized Current 2.75%
Effective 2.79%
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
provided a similar annualized seven-day yield than a comparable IBC's Money Fund

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.

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 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 Fund 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 and accretion
of market discount less the amortization of any premium 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, 1996, the
Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $8,763,
of which $7,775 will expire August 31, 2004 and $988 will expire on 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. FEES PAID INDIRECTLY -- The Fund's custodian bank calculates its fees based
on the Fund'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 Fund.
This amount is shown as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations.
F. OTHER -- Purchases, 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 $165,968, of which $91,806 was
voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 1997. 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 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net
assets. The Administrative fees amounted to $207,460, of which $67,054 was
voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 1997. 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, 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 by investors for whom such Shareholder Servicing Agent
maintains a servicing relationship. Shareholder Servicing Agent fees amounted to
$207,460 for the six months ended February 28, 1997.
(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 Distribution fees amounted to $82,984, of which $74,636
was voluntarily waived for six months ended February 28, 1997. 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.
(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
$279,479,360 and $236,976,920, respectively, for the six months ended February
28, 1997.
(8) FEDERAL INCOME TAX BASIS OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The cost of investment securities owned at February 28, 1997, for federal income
tax purposes, amounted to $192,297,210.
(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. 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,
1997, the commitment fee allocated to the Fund was $401. Since the line of
credit was established there have been no borrowings.

A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
Short-term tax-exempt securities from issuers in Connecticut produced
competitive returns commensurate with safety during the six-month period ended
February 28, 1997. When the period began, the economic environment was one of
subdued growth, unchanged monetary policy, relatively low interest rates and low
inflation, albeit with a moderately upward bias. These conditions soon changed:
the fourth quarter of 1996 saw more robust economic growth than most economists
had expected. Yet, the absence of accompanying inflationary pressures has
enabled the Federal Reserve Board to hold monetary policy steady and keep
interest rates low.
In this environment, the Landmark Funds' investment adviser, Citibank,
N.A., continued to manage Landmark Connecticut Tax Free Reserves with the goal
of achieving its investment objectives: 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 high-quality short-term municipal obligations
issued by Connecticut, its municipalities and their agencies.
This report reviews the Fund's investment activities and performance during
the six months ended February 28, 1997, and provides a summary of Citibank's
perspective on and outlook for Connecticut's tax-free money market securities
marketplace. On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Landmark Funds, I want to
thank you for your confidence and participation.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Although the economy during the first half of 1996 was stronger than most
economists expected, by September economic growth had moderated to a rate well
below the level at which the Federal Reserve Board's monetary policy-makers
begin to worry about inflation. This favorable environment proved to be positive
for most fixed-income securities, in large part because the Federal Reserve was
able to hold monetary policy steady after their most recent rate cut in January,
1996.
By the end of January, 1997, however, it became apparent that the U.S.
economy had accelerated at an annualized 4.7% rate during the fourth quarter of
1996, a higher level of growth than most market-watchers expected. This
increase, coupled with gains in employment and industrial production, once again
raised concern among some investors that an acceleration of inflation might be
imminent. Yet, other reliable leading indicators of inflation subsequently told
a different story, reassuring the markets that low levels of inflation were
likely to continue.
Economic conditions in Connecticut appear to be modestly weaker than the
national average. Although the current fiscal year is expected to end with a
small budget surplus, lackluster economic growth could put pressure on the
state's ability to balance its budget. This may be especially true if the state
government accepts current proposals for a lower state income tax without
replacing that revenue from other sources.

FUND QUOTES FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
"Connecticut's economy is growing, but it is weaker now than it was at the
beginning of the current economic recovery."
"We have kept our average maturity long since rates rose last July to their
highest levels of 1996. We extended maturities at that time to lock in as much
yield as we possibly could."
"Because of the shortage of suitable short-term securities from Connecticut
issuers, we have also invested in Puerto Rico securities that are exempt from
state taxes for Connecticut residents."
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER RESPONDS
As economic activity slowed in August and September, interest rates
declined modestly, retracing some of their gains from earlier in the year. Our
strategy in this environment was to maintain the stance we had adopted at the
end of July, 1996: a longer-than-average maturity intended to maintain
prevailing yields for as long as practical in a declining interest rate
environment.
We maintained this longer-than-neutral posture throughout the period,
shortening and lengthening within a well defined range to take advantage of a
persistent supply-demand imbalance in Connecticut's municipal securities market.
New short-term tax-exempt securities from Connecticut issuers continue to be in
very short supply, while demand for such investments from individuals and mutual
funds remains relatively high and steady. As a result, it is becoming
increasingly difficult to find competitive investments for the portfolio.
Accordingly, the Fund consisted of a diverse array of short-term tax-exempt
securities throughout the six-month period. Most significantly, we increased our
exposure to non-rated notes issued by small school districts. Because of their
small size, these issuers may choose not to pay for a credit evaluation by the
major bond rating agencies. Instead, Citibank's analysts carefully evaluate the
creditworthiness of each issuer, and approve non-rated securities for purchase
only if their credit quality is considered equivalent to the highest quality
rating. The shortage of supply also led us to focus on Puerto Rico short-term
obligations, in accordance with the Fund's investment policies. These short-term
investments are exempt from Connecticut state taxes and provide similar or
slightly lower yields than securities from Connecticut issuers.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Our outlook for 1997 is cautiously optimistic. While we expect inflation to
remain benign for the first part of 1997, we are aware of the risk that, if
economic growth during the first quarter of 1997 is as strong as it was in the
fourth quarter of 1996, the Federal Reserve probably would raise key short-term
interest rates. In such an event, we might attempt to reduce the Fund's average
maturity toward the neutral range to be able to take advantage of higher
yielding opportunities if they become available. We could also seek to increase
our exposure to variable-rate securities that tend to do well in rising
interest-rate environments.
At this point, however, we believe that the fourth quarter's economic
strength was a temporary anomaly, and we expect the first part of 1997 to show a
market environment remarkably similar to the one that prevailed in the third
quarter of 1996: moderate growth, low inflation, modestly declining interest
rates and an unchanged monetary policy. Our strategy in this environment is to
maintain an average duration in the longer-than-neutral range. If the national
economy slows over the near term, we could maintain a longer-than-average
maturity in order to maintain competitive yields in a declining interest rate
environment.

Annualized Current 2.76%

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.

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.

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 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 Fund 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 and accretion
of market discount less the amortization of any premium 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, 1996, the
Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryovers of $4,984
all of which will expire on August 31, 2004. 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. FEES PAID INDIRECTLY -- The Fund's custodian bank calculates its fees based
on the Fund'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 Fund.
This amount is shown as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations.
F. OTHER -- Purchases, 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 $139,851, of which $79,272 was
voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 1997. 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 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net
assets. The Administrator's fees amounted to $174,814, of which $60,555 was
voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 1997. 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, 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 by investors for whom such Shareholder Servicing Agent
maintains a servicing relationship. Shareholder Servicing Agent fees amounted to
$174,814 for the six months ended February 28, 1997.
(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 Distribution fees amounted to $69,926, all of which was
voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 1997. 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.
(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, maturities and sales, of money market instruments aggregated
$260,613,096 and $208,292,800, respectively, for the six months ended February
28, 1997.
(8) FEDERAL INCOME TAX BASIS OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The cost of investment securities owned at February 28, 1997, for federal income
tax purposes, amounted to $167,686,111.
(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. 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,
1997, the commitment fee allocated to the Fund was $312. Since the line of
credit was established there have been no borrowings.
