LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders:
 
  We welcome this opportunity to provide you with a summary of the trends and
key events that affected the economy and the Goldman Sachs Institutional Liquid
Assets (ILA) Portfolios in 1997. It was another strong year for the funds,
during which time all of the portfolios outperformed or performed in line with
their respective IBC Financial Data, Inc. averages. Assets in the ILA
Portfolios totaled $9.1 billion as of December 31, 1997.
 
1997 IN REVIEW
  Over the first quarter, the U.S. economy demonstrated significant strength,
with no sign of slowing. Employment data pointed to continued growth as
unemployment rates dropped, average hourly earnings rose and real consumer
spending surged. In March, in a show of concern over the pace of economic
growth, the Federal Reserve chose to raise short-term rates by 25 basis points.
When all was said and done, first quarter's real gross domestic product (GDP)
posted a robust 4.9% increase--although this was attributed to an increase in
inventories, typically a precursor of slower growth.
 
  Economic data early in the second quarter, including New Home Sales, the
Employment Cost Index (ECI), GDP and durable goods, continued to point to
ongoing momentum in the economy. By June, there was no overwhelming evidence
that the economy had slowed to a sustainable growth pace. Nevertheless, Fed
officials seemed impressed with a slowdown in the pace of broad price measures,
and opted to maintain a neutral stance. Early third-quarter data initially
suggested that any slowdown perceived by the Fed represented a modified
correction from the first quarter's rapid growth, not the onset of a weaker
trend. However, as the quarter progressed, subdued inflationary pressures and a
slower pace of economic growth further lowered the probability that Fed
officials would tighten monetary policy in the months that remained in 1997.
 
  In the final months of the fiscal year, financial turmoil in Asia's equity
markets spilled into the U.S. However, a number of factors, including Federal
Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's testimony and U.S. investors' overall
reaction to the market, quickly restored confidence that the U.S. market would
not suffer a significant downturn. Not surprisingly, at its November meeting,
the Fed chose to leave monetary policy on hold. As the fourth quarter drew to a
close, central bankers continued to be torn between their anxiety over
excessively rapid demand growth and rising wages on the domestic front and
their worries that the Asian crisis could spread to new regions and have a
negative impact on U.S. output and earnings prospects. Consequently, Fed
officials chose to maintain their "wait-and-see" stance on monetary policy and
await future market developments.

The Federal funds rate began the year at 5.25% and ended the year at 5.50%. The
slope of the LIBOR yield curve steepened significantly over the course of the
year. By the end of 1997, the spread between one- and 12-month LIBOR moved to
plus 25 basis points.

Fed's decision to tighten led us to extend the portfolios'
weighted average maturities. Despite a market rally over the next several
months, we maintained these longer weighted average maturities due to a benign
inflationary environment and a "wait-and-see" Fed. In the second half of the
fiscal year, a period of Fed inactivity caused us to slightly extend the
portfolios' durations to the upper end of the neutral range in seeking to
capture incremental yield. We maintained this stance throughout November and
December.
 
  Tax-Exempt. Early in the year, the tax-exempt money market portfolios assumed
defensive weighted average maturities, as we anticipated higher short-term
rates in the near future. As expected, this scenario played itself out in March
when the Fed tightened, and was magnified in April when larger than expected
tax payments caused the market to back up further. During the second half of
the year, we began to extend the weighted average maturities of the portfolios
as the likelihood of further Fed tightening faded.

*ILA offers three separate classes of units (Institutional, Administration and
Service), each of which is subject to different fees and expenses that affect
performance and entitle shareholders to different services. The Administration
and Service units offer financial institutions the opportunity to receive a fee
for providing administrative support services. The Administration units pay
0.15% plus 0.10% from the
adviser for a total of 0.25%. The Service units pay 0.40% plus 0.10% from the
adviser for a total of 0.50%. Furthermore, in addition to these classes, Prime
Obligations offers Class B and Class C shares, which are subject to a
distribution fee and an authorized dealer service fee and may be subject to
contingent deferred sales charges. Performance reflects fee waivers and expense
reimbursements. Had fees not been waived or expense reimbursed, performance
would be reduced. Past performance is no guarantee of future resulted. Yield
will vary. An investment in any one of the ILA Portfolios is neither insured
nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government nor is there any assurance that the Funds
will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. More
complete information, including management fees and expenses, is included in
the ILA Portfolios' prospectus or may be obtained by calling Goldman Sachs
Funds at 1-800-621-2550.
 
DOMESTIC CREDIT TRENDS POSITIVE
 
  Domestic credit quality in 1997 continued its positive trend. It was the
third consecutive year of extraordinary stock market growth and record mergers
and acquisitions. It was the seventh straight year of growth for the U.S.
economy, with high employment, low inflation and relatively stable, low
interest rates. U.S. corporations and financial institutions reported strong
earnings as a result of the strong economic environment, as well as from
previous cost-cutting and consolidation moves.
 
  The improvement in credit strength was broad-based, except in the consumer
credit sector, which continued its downward trend. Consumer bankruptcy filings
set another record high of 1.3 million cases in 1997. Credit card loan
delinquencies, however, began to stabilize by the end of the year. These
consumer credit problems had a negative impact on the financial sector,
including serious problems in the sub-prime auto lending industry. The Credit
Department's experienced team of financial institutions analysts closely
monitored consumer credit quality trends.

- ---------------------------------------  ---------------------------------------
THE CREDIT PICTURE ABROAD: ASIA IN TROUBLE, EMU ON COURSE
 
  The international credit environment in 1997 was dominated by the Asian
financial crisis and the apparent resolution of European Monetary Union's (EMU)
likely course. Thailand's forced currency devaluation in July set off a
financial fire that found ample fuel in the region's highly leveraged
economies. Even higher rated securities were affected; for example, Hong Kong
weathered various shocks flowing from Southeast Asia. At the time this report
was written, there were no Asian-issued holdings in any of the ILA money market
portfolios.
 
  In Europe, the second half of the year presented a more positive picture than
the first part of the year. A "euroland" of 11 countries now appears on track,
with almost every government producing better than expected fiscal results and
unexpectedly strong economies. Yields and asset prices have begun to achieve a
measure of convergence across the Continent, while the rating agencies have
begun to clarify their (differing) approaches to creditworthiness under the
euro. Just as important, political resistance to EMU has been effectively
controlled despite stubbornly high unemployment. The combination of Europe's
improving performance and the U.S.'s continuing robust health has helped to
mute the broader contagion effects from Asia so far, though such effects may
become more potent if Asia's trouble continues well into 1998.
 
  The year ahead will likely be more difficult for the domestic economy, with
the uncertain outlook in Europe and Asia. The Goldman Sachs Credit Department,
with its analysts based in London, Tokyo, Frankfurt and New York, as well as
extensive technological assets and credit expertise, will continue to
anticipate and monitor global developments and apply its conservative credit
standards to the money market portfolios.
 
OUTLOOK AND STRATEGIES FOR 1998
 
  The pivotal factor in the U.S. economic outlook for 1998 is the tug of war
between the trade drag from Asia and the strength of the domestic economy. Asia
will most likely dominate the first half of the year while the tight U.S. labor
market is likely to have an impact in the second half of the year.
 
  This view is dependent upon the behavior of the U.S. stock market, which has
boosted spending in both
households and businesses in recent years. A decline in the stock market could
hurt consumer spending and keep the Fed on hold throughout the year.
 
  Providing there are no new disturbances relative to the Asian markets or
domestic financial asset prices, we anticipate that the Fed will hold off on
making policy changes for some time to come. With no signs of inflation and the
U.S. dollar ever stronger with respect to foreign markets, Chairman Greenspan
and the Fed have good reason to "wait and see" how events unfold overseas
before making any decisions that could prove destabilizing in the short-term
and whose long-term impact would be uncertain.
 
  With the Fed on hold for the near-term, we expect to position the portfolios
with neutral weighted average maturities. However, a steepening yield curve
would give us the incentive to extend the weighted average maturities on all
portfolios, as any Fed tightening in 1998 is likely to be modest.
 
  In closing, we thank you for your support and for making 1997 a year of
record assets for the ILA money market portfolios. As in the past, we will
continue to look for additional ways to improve our services, while seeking to
provide you with competitive performance. We welcome your suggestions and
questions, and look forward to another strong year in 1998.
 
Sincerely,
 
/s/ Kaysie Uniacke

Goldman Sachs Trust--Institutional Liquid Assets
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997
- ---------------------------------------  ---------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION
Effective May 1, 1997, the Goldman Sachs Money Market Trust was reorganized
from a Massachusetts business trust to a Delaware business trust named the
Goldman Sachs Trust (the "Trust"). The Trust includes the Goldman Sachs--
Institutional Liquid Assets Portfolios, collectively "ILA". The Trust is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
management investment company. ILA consists of nine portfolios: Prime
Obligations, Money Market, Government, Treasury Obligations, Treasury
Instruments, Federal, Tax-Exempt Diversified, Tax-Exempt California and Tax-
Exempt New York. All of the portfolios are diversified except for the Tax-
Exempt California and Tax-Exempt New York Portfolios. ILA offers three classes
of units for each of its portfolios: ILA units, ILA Administration units and
ILA Service units. In addition, the Prime Obligations Portfolio offers ILA B
and ILA C units. The investment objective of the Funds is to maximize current
income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and
maintenance of liquidity.
 
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by ILA. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts.
 
A. Investment Valuation--
ILA uses the amortized-cost method for valuing portfolio securities, which
approximates market value. Under this method, all investments purchased at a
discount or premium are valued by amortizing the difference between the
original purchase price and maturity value of the issue over the period to
maturity.
 
B. Interest Income--
Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, premium
amortized and discount earned.
 
C. Federal Taxes--
It is each portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
each year substantially all investment company taxable and tax-exempt income to
its unitholders. Accordingly, no federal tax provisions are required.
 The characterization of distributions to unitholders for financial reporting
purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules. Therefore,
the source of the Portfolio's distributions may be shown in the accompanying
financial statements as either from or in excess of net investment income or
net realized gain on investment transactions, or from paid-in capital,
depending on the type of book/tax differences that may exist.
 
At December 31, 1997 (tax year end), the following portfolios had capital loss
carryforwards for U.S. Federal tax purposes of approximately:

   ---------            -------- ------------
<S>                     <C>      <C>
Tax-Exempt Diversified  $189,400 1998 to 2005
Tax-Exempt New York        6,519 1999 to 2004
Tax-Exempt California     28,689 2000 to 2003
</TABLE>
 
These amounts are available to be carried forward to offset future capital
gains to the extent permitted by applicable laws or regulations.
 
D. Expenses--
Expenses incurred by ILA which do not specifically relate to an individual
portfolio of ILA are allocated to the portfolios based on each portfolio's
relative average net assets for the period.
 
 Unitholders of ILA Administration, ILA Service, ILA B and ILA C units bear all
expenses and fees paid to service and distribution organizations for their
services

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
with respect to such units as well as other expenses (subject to expense
limitations) which are directly attributable to such units.
 
3. AGREEMENTS
Goldman Sachs Asset Management ("GSAM"), a separate operating division of
Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs"), acts as investment adviser pursuant to
an Investment Management Agreement (the "Agreement"). Under the Agreement,
GSAM, subject to general supervision by the Trust's Board of Trustees, manages
the portfolios and provides for the administration of ILA's other affairs. As
compensation for the services rendered under the Agreement and the assumption
of the expenses related thereto, GSAM is entitled to a fee, computed daily and
payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to .35% of each portfolio's average
daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 1997, GSAM has voluntarily
agreed to waive a portion of its management fees for the Money Market, Treasury
Instruments, Federal, Tax-Exempt Diversified and Tax-Exempt New York
Portfolios, respectively.
 Goldman Sachs also serves as ILA's transfer agent under a Transfer Agency
Agreement for a fee. In addition, Goldman Sachs acts as ILA's distributor under
a Distribution Agreement for which it receives no compensation except for the
ILA B and ILA C units of Prime Obligations Portfolio. Amounts due to Goldman
Sachs are included in "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" in the
accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
 GSAM has voluntarily agreed that if the sum of a portfolio's expenses
(including the advisory fee, but excluding interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, litigation and indemnification expenses, administration,
authorized dealer service, distribution and service plan fees and other
extraordinary expenses) exceeds on an annualized basis .42% (.41% prior to May
1, 1997) of such portfolio's net assets, the portfolio will be reimbursed in
the amount of such excess monthly.
 For the year ended December 31, 1997, GSAM has voluntarily agreed to reimburse
the Money Market, Treasury Instruments, Federal, Tax-Exempt Diversified and
Tax-Exempt New York Portfolios to the extent that each portfolio's expenses, as
defined above, exceed .37%, .22%, .27%, .32% and .33%, respectively, of the
average net assets per annum. Amounts due from Goldman Sachs at December 31,
1997 are included in "Other assets"in the accompanying Statements of Assets and
Liabilities.
 The ILA B and ILA C units of Prime Obligations Portfolio have adopted a
Distribution Plan (the "Distribution Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1. Under the
Distribution Plan, Goldman Sachs is entitled to a quarterly fee for
distribution services equal, on an annual basis, up to .75% of ILA B and ILA C
units average daily net assets.
 The ILA B and ILA C units of Prime Obligations Portfolio have also adopted an
Authorized Dealer Service Plan (the "Service Plan") pursuant to which Goldman
Sachs and Authorized Dealers are compensated for providing personal and account
maintenance services. ILA B and ILA C units pay a fee under this Service Plan
equal, on an annual basis, up to .25% of ILA B and C units average daily net
assets.

4. ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICE PLANS
ILA has adopted Administration and Service Plans. These plans allow for ILA
Administration units and ILA Service units, respectively, to compensate service
organizations for providing varying levels of account administration and
unitholder liaison services to their customers who are beneficial owners of
such units. The Administration and Service Plans provide for compensation to
the service organizations in an amount up to .15% and .40% (on an annualized
basis), respectively, of the average daily net asset value of the respective
units.
 
5. LINE OF CREDIT FACILITY
ILA participates in a $250,000,000 uncommitted, unsecured revolving line of
credit facility to be used solely for temporary or emergency purposes. Under
the most restrictive arrangement, each Portfolio must own securities having a
market value in excess of 300% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate
on the borrowings is based on the Federal Funds rate. During the year ended
December 31, 1997, ILA did not have any borrowings under this facility.
 
6. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying
securities, including accrued interest, is required to equal or exceed the
value of the repurchase agreement. The underlying securities for all repurchase
agreements are held in safekeeping by a custodian.
 
7. JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENT ACCOUNTS
The ILA Portfolios, together with other registered investment companies having
management agreements with GSAM or its affiliates, may transfer uninvested cash
balances into joint accounts, the daily aggregate balances of which are
invested in one or more repurchase agreements. The underlying securities for
the repurchase agreements are U.S. Treasury obligations.
 As of December 31, 1997, the Prime Obligations, Money Market, Government and
Treasury Obligations Portfolios had investments in the following joint account
of $2,000,000, $32,000,000, $114,300,000 and $275,500,000 in principal amount,
respectively. As of December 31, 1997, the repurchase agreements in this joint
account, along with the corresponding underlying securities

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
- ---------------------------------------  ---------------------------------------
To the Unitholders and Board of Trustees of the Goldman Sachs Trust--
Institutional Liquid Assets:
 
 We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Goldman Sachs Trust--Institutional Liquid Assets (a Delaware business trust
comprising the Prime Obligations, Money Market, Government, Treasury
Obligations, Treasury Instruments, Federal, Tax-Exempt Diversified, Tax-Exempt
California and Tax-Exempt New York Portfolios), including the statements of
investments as of December 31, 1997, and the related statements of operations
for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the
financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and
the financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the
financial highlights based on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and the financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1997 by correspondence with the custodian and broker. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
 In our opinion, the financial statements and the financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
each of the respective portfolios constituting Goldman Sachs Trust--
Institutional Liquid Assets as of December 31, 1997, the results of their
operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets and the
financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
