A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:
The past year has been one of marked contrasts for the U.S. economy and its
financial markets. During the first half of the year, short-term cash equivalent
investments such as Premium U.S. Treasury Reserves did relatively well as
interest rates rose in response to inflation fears, while longer term bonds and
stocks fared poorly. As the economy slowed in the second half of the fiscal
year, broad measures of stock and bond performance rallied to new highs and
yields on most money market investments remained relatively stable.
The Landmark Funds' investment adviser, Citibank, N.A., manages U.S.
Treasury Reserves Portfolio to provide liquidity and as high a level of current
income as is consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund seeks to
offer an attractive yield and a competitive expense ratio by investing in a
high-quality portfolio composed exclusively of U.S. Treasury securities.
This Annual Report reviews the Portfolio's investment activities and
performance over the past 12 months and provides a summary of Citibank's
perspective on and outlook for the financial markets. On behalf of the Board of
Trustees of the Landmark Funds, I want to thank you for your confidence and
participation. We look forward to serving you in the months and years ahead.
/s/ Philip W. Coolidge

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the Fund's fiscal year began on September 1, 1994, the U.S. economy
was growing faster than its available supply of labor and materials, fueling
inflation fears. Investors reacted by selling stocks and bonds and shifting
assets to short-term money market securities. As a result, stocks and bonds
provided below-average returns in 1994 while yields on U.S. Treasury bills and
other cash equivalents rose.
In the face of these inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve Board
continued to raise short-term interest rates in an effort to slow the rate of
economic growth enough to forestall a further acceleration of inflation. By the
beginning of 1995, signs began to emerge that the economy was indeed slowing to
a pace below the rate at which inflationary pressures become a problem. As the
rate of economic growth moderated and the likelihood of further interest-rate
hikes receded, yields on U.S. Treasury securities generally declined during the
second half of the Fund's fiscal year.
The Federal Reserve's monetary policy did not affect all U.S. Treasury
securities equally, however. As the economy slowed and investors began to
anticipate the first reduction in key short-term interest rates in almost two
years, yields on longer term U.S. Treasury bills began to decline faster than
their shorter term counterparts, reducing the yield spread between the long and
short ends of the maturity spectrum. Later in the period, the reverse was true:
spreads widened after the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates in July as
investors anticipated a modest economic rebound.

FUND QUOTES FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Money market funds outperformed both stocks and bonds during the last four
months of 1994, helping shareholders preserve their capital during a period of
volatility in the longer term markets."
"The Fund extended its average maturity to the long end of its range during most
of the first half of 1995 to take advantage of higher yields available in
longer-term Treasury securities."
"Looking forward, we expect interest rates to decline modestly if the Federal
Reserve eases monetary policy in response to a weakening economy."
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER RESPONDS
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We carefully monitored the various influences affecting the short-term
fixed-income marketplace during the year and took action opportunistically. For
example, in March when the economy was slowing and yield spreads were relatively
wide, we extended maturities to the longer end of the Portfolio's maturity range
to lock in higher yields before interest rates declined. Conversely, we reduced
the Portfolio's average maturity to a more neutral position in July as signs of
renewed economic strength caused yield spreads to narrow, enabling us to keep
funds available for higher yielding securities as they became available if
interest rates rose.
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our forecast for the U.S. economy calls for slow-but-positive growth over
the near term. The Federal Reserve appears to have been successful in its
efforts to slow the U.S. economy to non-inflationary levels without causing a
recession, and, despite July's modest interest-rate reduction, we expect
monetary policy to remain unchanged over the next few months. As long as the
economy does not heat up unexpectedly, yields on U.S. Treasury bills should
remain near current levels over the near term.
Over the longer term, we expect the Federal Reserve to resume easing if the
U.S. economy shows further signs of weakness. The prospect of recession is
unacceptable to many in Washington, D.C., especially in an election year. We
believe, therefore, that lower yields are more likely than higher yields over
the intermediate term. Accordingly, we will adjust the Portfolio's average
maturity opportunistically to maximize yields without sacrificing either
preservation of capital or the Portfolio's AAA rating.*
*Although the Fund is permitted by prospectus to extend its average maturity to
as much as 90 days, we do not anticipate exceeding an average weighted maturity
of 60 days in order to maintain our current Aaa rating with Moody's and AAAm
rating with Standard & Poor's.

7-DAY YIELDS
- - ----------
Annualized Current 5.11%
Effective 5.24%
The Annualized Current 7-Day Yield reflects the amount of income generated by
the investment during the 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 the 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.
IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION
- - -------------------------
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995, the Fund paid $0.04999 per share to
shareholders from net investment income. For such period, 100% of income
dividends paid were derived from interest earned from U.S. Treasury Bills, Notes
and Bonds.
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

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Premium U.S. Treasury Reserves (the "Fund") is a diversified separate series of
Landmark Premium Funds (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an
open-end management investment company. The Fund invests all of its investable
assets in U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a management
investment company for which Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") serves as Investment
Adviser. 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 Trust seeks to achieve the Fund's investment objective of providing
Shareholders with liquidity and as high a level of current income from U.S.
Government obligations as is consistent with preservation of capital by
investing all of its investable assets in the Portfolio, an open-end,
diversified management investment company having the same investment objective
as the Fund. The value of such investment reflects the Fund's proportionate
interest (38.2% at August 31, 1995) in the net assets of the Portfolio.
The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the portfolio of
investments, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and are as follows:
A. INVESTMENT INCOME -- The Fund earns income, net of Portfolio expenses, daily
on its investment in the Portfolio.
B. 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 taxable income. Accordingly, no provision
for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
C. DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES -- Expenses incurred by the Fund in connection
with its organization have been deferred and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis not to exceed five years.
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 where 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 -- All the net investment income of the Portfolio is allocated pro
rata, based on respective ownership interests, among the Fund and the other
investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.
(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) ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PLAN
The Trust has adopted an 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
Trust's Administrative Services Plan, the aggregate of the fee paid to the
Administrator from the Fund and of the fees paid to the Shareholder Servicing
Agents from the Fund under such plan may not exceed 0.45% 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 accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.15% of the
Fund's average daily net assets. The administrative fee amounted to $395,992, of
which $9,857 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 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 to 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 FEES -- The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, entered into
shareholder servicing agreements with each Shareholder Servicing Agent pursuant
to which the 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 0.30% of the average daily
net assets of the Fund represented by shares owned during the period for which
payment is being made by investors for whom such Shareholder Servicing Agent
maintains a servicing relationship. The Shareholder Servicing Agent fees
amounted to $791,983, of which $527,989 was voluntarily waived for the year
ended August 31, 1995.
(4) DISTRIBUTION FEES
The Trust 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, limited to an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund. The Fund accrued fees aggregating $263,994 for these
services, of which $104,884 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31,
1995.
(5) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
full and fractional shares of beneficial interest ($0.00001 par value).
(6) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Increases and decreases in the Fund's investment in the Portfolio aggregated
$473,407,035 and $422,317,499, respectively, for the year ended August 31, 1995.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, diversified, open-end
management investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of
the State of New York. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue
beneficial interests in the Portfolio. The Landmark Funds Broker-Dealer
Services, Inc. ("LFBDS") acts as the Portfolio's Administrator and Citibank,
N.A. ("Citibank") acts as the Investment Adviser.
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio 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.
This method involves valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter
assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. The
Portfolio's use of amortized cost is subject to the Portfolio's compliance with
certain conditions as specified under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of
1940.
B. INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSES -- Interest income consists of interest accrued
and discount earned (including both original issue and market discount),
adjusted for amortization of premium, on the investments of the Portfolio,
accrued ratably to the date of maturity, plus or minus net realized gain or
loss, if any, on investments. Expenses of the Portfolio are accrued daily.
C. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Portfolio's policy is to comply with the
applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision
for federal income taxes is necessary.
D. DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES -- Expenses incurred by the Portfolio in
connection with its organization have been deferred and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis not to exceed five years.
E. OTHER -- Purchases, maturities and sales of money market instruments are
accounted for on the date of the transaction.
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
A. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES -- The investment advisory fees paid to Citibank, as
compensation for overall investment management services, amounted to $1,148,418,
of which $753,105 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 1995. The
investment advisory fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets.
B. 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 accrued daily
and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.05% of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets. The administrative fee amounted to $382,806, all of which was
voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 1995. The Portfolio 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
Portfolio from the Administrator or its affiliates. Certain of the officers and
a Trustee of the Portfolio are officers and a director of the Administrator or
its affiliates.
(3) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases, maturities and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations, aggregated
$9,905,935,862 and $9,782,029,952, respectively, for the year ended August 31,
1995.
(4) LINE OF CREDIT
The Portfolio, 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 year ended August 31, 1995, the commitment fee
allocated to the Portfolio was $5,418. Since the line of credit was established,
there have been no borrowings.

A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholder:
The past year has been one of marked contrasts for the U.S. economy and its
financial markets. During the first half of the year, short-term cash equivalent
investments such as Premium Liquid Reserves did relatively well as interest
rates rose in response to inflation fears, while longer term bonds and stocks
fared poorly. As the economy slowed in the second half of the fiscal year, broad
measures of stock and bond performance rallied to new highs and yields on most
money market investments remained relatively stable.
The Landmark Funds' investment adviser, Citibank, N.A., manages Cash
Reserves Portfolio to provide liquidity and as high a level of current income as
is consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund seeks to offer an
attractive yield by investing in a high-quality portfolio of short-term domestic
and foreign dollar-denominated money market instruments.
This Annual Report reviews the Portfolio's investment activities and
performance over the past 12 months and provides a summary of Citibank's
perspective on and outlook for the financial markets. On behalf of the Board of
Trustees of the Landmark Funds, I want to thank you for your confidence and
participation. We look forward to serving you in the months and years ahead.
/s/ Philip W. Coolidge

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the Fund's fiscal year began on September 1, 1994, the U.S. economy
was growing faster than its available supply of labor and materials, fueling
inflation fears. Investors reacted by selling stocks and bonds and shifting
assets to short-term money market securities. As a result, stocks and bonds
provided below-average returns in 1994 while yields on U.S. Treasury bills,
commercial paper and other cash equivalents rose.
In the face of these inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve Board
continued to raise short-term interest rates in an effort to slow the rate of
economic growth enough to forestall a further acceleration of inflation. By the
beginning of 1995, signs began to emerge that the economy was indeed slowing to
a pace below the rate at which inflationary pressures become a problem. As the
rate of economic growth moderated and the likelihood of further interest-rate
hikes receded, yields on money market securities generally declined during the
second half of the Fund's fiscal year.
The Federal Reserve's monetary policy did not affect all money market
securities equally, however. As the economy slowed and investors began to
anticipate the first reduction in key short-term interest rates in almost two
years, yields on longer term money market securities began to decline faster
than their shorter term counterparts, reducing the yield spread between the long
and short ends of the money market maturity spectrum. By the same token, the
differences in yields between U.S. Treasury bills and commercial paper also
narrowed as the economy slowed. Later in the period, the reverse was true:
spreads widened after the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates in July as
investors anticipated a modest economic rebound.

FUND QUOTES FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Money market funds outperformed both stocks and bonds during the last four
months of 1994, helping shareholders preserve their capital during a period of
volatility in the longer term markets."
"The Fund extended its average maturity to the long end of its range during most
of the first half of 1995 to take advantage of higher yields among longer-dated
money market securities."
"Looking forward, we expect interest rates to decline modestly if the Federal
Reserve eases monetary policy in response to a weakening economy."
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER RESPONDS
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We carefully monitored the various influences affecting the short-term
fixed-income marketplace during the year and took action opportunistically. For
example, in March when the economy was slowing and yield spreads were relatively
wide, we extended maturities to the longer end of the Portfolio's maturity range
to lock in higher yields before interest rates declined. Conversely, we reduced
the Portfolio's average maturity to a more neutral position in July as signs of
renewed economic strength caused yield spreads to narrow, enabling us to keep
funds available for higher yielding securities if interest rates rose.
We also sought to enhance yields incrementally allocating funds among the
various sectors of the short-term fixed-income marketplace. For example, in May
when the yield spreads between U.S. Treasury bills and other comparable-maturity
money market securities were wide, the Portfolio's assets were predominantly
invested in the higher yielding money market securities. But when spreads
narrowed in July and August, the Portfolio increased its position in longer
dated Treasury holdings.
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our forecast for the U.S. economy calls for slow-but-positive growth over
the near term. The Federal Reserve appears to have been successful in its
efforts to slow the U.S. economy to non-inflationary levels without causing a
recession, and, despite July's modest interest-rate reduction, we expect
monetary policy to remain unchanged over the next few months. As long as the
economy does not pick up unexpectedly, money market yields should remain near
current levels over the near term.
Over the longer term, we expect the Federal Reserve to resume easing if the
U.S. economy shows further signs of weakness. The prospect of recession is
unacceptable to many in Washington, D.C., especially in an election year. We
believe, therefore, that lower yields are more likely than higher yields over
the intermediate term. Accordingly, we will adjust the Portfolio's average
maturity and asset mix opportunistically to maximize yields without sacrificing
preservation of capital.

7-DAY YIELDS

Annualized Current 5.62%
Effective 5.78%
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.
IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION
- - -------------------------
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995, the Fund paid $0.05465 per share to
shareholders from net investment income. For such period 8.60% of dividends paid
were derived from interest earned from U.S. Government and U.S. Government
agency obligations. The Fund designates for income tax purposes $49,781 of its
capital gains distributions as long term capital gains.

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
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Premium Liquid Reserves (the "Fund") is a separate diversified series of
Landmark Premium Funds (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust
is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an
open-end management investment company. The Fund invests all of its investable
assets in Cash Reserves Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a management investment
company for which Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") serves as Investment Adviser. 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 as Shareholder Servicing Agent.
The Trust seeks to achieve the Fund's investment objective to provide liquidity
and as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of
capital by investing all of its investable assets in the Portfolio, an open-end,
diversified management investment company having the same investment objective
as the Fund. The value of such investment reflects the Fund's proportionate
interest (8.9% at August 31, 1995) in the net assets of the Portfolio.
The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the portfolio of
investments, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and are as follows:
A. INVESTMENT VALUATION -- Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed
in Note 1A of the Portfolio's Notes to Financial Statements, which are included
elsewhere in this report.
B. INVESTMENT INCOME -- The Fund earns income, net of Portfolio expenses, daily
based on its investment in the Portfolio.
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 taxable income. Accordingly, no provision
for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
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. The Fund's share of the
Portfolio's expenses are charged against and reduce the amount of the Fund's
investment in the Portfolio.
E. OTHER -- All the net investment income of the Portfolio is allocated pro
rata, based on respective ownership interests, among the Fund and the other
investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.
(2) DIVIDENDS
The net income of the Fund is determined once daily, as of 3:00 p.m., 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) ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PLAN
The Trust has adopted an 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
Trust's Administrative Services Plan, the aggregate of the fee paid to the
Administrator from the Fund under such Plan and of the fees paid to the
Shareholder Servicing Agents from the Fund may not exceed 0.45% 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 accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund's
average daily net assets. The administrative fee amounted to $458,618 of which
$11,881 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 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 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
0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Fund represented by shares owned
during the period for which payment has been made by investors for whom such
Shareholder Servicing Agent maintains a servicing relationship. Shareholder
Servicing Agents fees amounted to $917,235 of which $611,490 was voluntarily
waived for the year ended August 31, 1995.
(4) 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 of 0.10% of the Fund's
average daily net assets. Distribution fees amounted to $305,745 of which
$267,152 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 1995.
(5) 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).
(6) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Increases and decreases in the Fund's investment in the Portfolio aggregated
$902,003,658 and $734,599,835, respectively, for the year ended August 31, 1995.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE TRUSTEES OF LANDMARK PREMIUM FUNDS (THE TRUST) AND THE SHAREHOLDERS OF
PREMIUM LIQUID RESERVES:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the
related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Premium Liquid Reserves (the "Fund"), a series of Landmark Premium Funds, at
August 31, 1995 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets
and the financial highlights for the periods indicated in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of investments owned at August 31, 1995,
provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Cash Reserves Portfolio
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash Reserves Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the U.S.
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, diversified, open-end
management investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of
the State of New York. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue
beneficial interests in the Portfolio. Signature Financial Group (Grand Cayman),
Ltd. ("SFG") acts as the Portfolio's Administrator and Citibank, N.A.
("Citibank") acts as the Investment Adviser.
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio are
in conformity with U.S. 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.
This method involves valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter
assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. The
Portfolio's use of amortized cost is subject to the Portfolio's compliance with
certain conditions as specified under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of
1940.
B. INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSES -- Interest income consists of interest accrued
and discount earned (including both original issue and market discount) on the
investments of the Portfolio, accrued ratably to the date of maturity, plus or
minus net realized gain or loss, if any, on investments. Expenses of the
Portfolio are accrued daily. The Portfolio bears all costs of its operations
other than expenses specifically assumed by Citibank and SFG.
C. U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Portfolio is considered a partnership under
the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income
taxes is necessary.
D. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- It is the policy of the Portfolio to require the
custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal
Reserve Book Entry System or to have segregated within the custodian bank's
vault, all securities held as collateral in support of repurchase agreement
investments. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Portfolio to
monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of the repurchase agreement's
underlying investments to ensure the existence of a proper level of collateral.
E. OTHER -- Purchases, maturities and sales of money market instruments are
accounted for on the date of the transaction.
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEE
A. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE -- The investment advisory fee paid to Citibank, as
compensation for overall investment management services, amounted to $4,097,854,
of which $2,306,161 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 1995.
The investment advisory fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets.
B. ADMINISTRATIVE FEE -- 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 0.05% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. The
administrative fee amounted to $1,365,951, all of which was voluntarily waived
for the year ended August 31, 1995. The Portfolio pays no compensation directly
to any Trustee or to any officer who is affiliated with the Administrator, all
of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio from the
Administrator or its affiliates. Certain of the officers and a Trustee of the
Portfolio are officers and a director of the Administrator or its affiliates.
(3) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases, maturities and sales of money market instruments aggregated
$145,318,101,772 and $142,492,747,680, respectively, for the year ended August
31, 1995.
(4) LINE OF CREDIT
The Portfolio, 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 year ended August 31, 1995, the commitment fee
allocated to the Portfolio was $19,641. Since the line of credit was
established, there have been no borrowings.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE TRUSTEES AND THE INVESTORS OF CASH RESERVES PORTFOLIO:
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of Cash Reserves Portfolio (the "Portfolio") as at
August 31, 1995 and the related statements of operations and of changes in net
assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolio's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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, which included confirmation of investments owned at
August 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the
application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers
were not received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as at August 31, 1995, the
results of its operations and the changes in its net assets and the financial
highlights for the periods indicated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
