A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Shareholder:

Despite the heightened volatility of the financial markets over the past 12
months, money market securities once again provided competitive returns for
shareholders seeking a level of income commensurate with a stable net asset
value. The reporting period was generally characterized by an economy that many
economists consider ideal: moderate economic growth coupled with low inflation.
Yet, the road to this environment was a bumpy one, marked by periods of
stronger-than-expected growth that occasionally unsettled the longer term stock
and bond markets. Investors who sought the safety of money market funds were
largely unaffected by these markets' volatility.

In this environment, the Landmark Funds' investment adviser, Citibank,
N.A., continued to manage Cash Reserves Portfolio with the goal of achieving its
investment objectives: providing 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 of short-term domestic and foreign dollar-denominated money market
instruments.

This report reviews the Fund's investment activities and performance during
the 12 months ended August 31, 1997, and provides a summary of Citibank's
perspective on and outlook for the 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
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In our semi-annual report to shareholders six months ago, we stated, "If
economic growth during the first half of 1997 is as strong as it was in the
fourth quarter of 1996, the resulting increase in inflationary pressures could
prompt the Federal Reserve to raise key short-term interest rates." In fact, the
economy grew at a rate of 4.9% during the first three months of 1997. In
response, the Federal Reserve Board raised the federal funds rate, the interest
rate banks charge each other for overnight loans, by a modest one quarter of a
percentage point. Yields on short-term money market securities rose accordingly;
for example, yields on one-year Treasury bills peaked near 6% in April.

The Federal Reserve's move toward a more restrictive monetary policy proved
to be an isolated event during the first half of the year. U.S. economic growth
moderated to a 3.6% rate during the second quarter of the year. As the financial
markets became more complacent about the potential for a reacceleration of
inflation, money market yields drifted lower and yields on one-year Treasury
bills ended the period at 5.66%.

FUND QUOTES FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We began to extend our average maturity early in the year, buying one-year
paper trading at attractive yields. We held those securities as yields
subsequently declined."

"Investor sentiment changed dramatically in April. The market no longer expected
higher inflation, and yields fell."

"We don't expect much volatility over the long term, but we are prepared to take
advantage of any short-term influences that move the market."

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER RESPONDS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the economy began to heat up early in the year and investors began to
anticipate a tighter monetary policy, we increased the Portfolio's average
maturity range to as long as 80 to 85 days. We achieved this position by
balancing our very short-term holdings with securities having maturities as long
as one year. This strategy enabled the Portfolio to benefit from the
longer-dated securities' higher yields when money market yields subsequently
fell.

By April, it became clear that the economy would moderate and that the
Federal Reserve was unlikely to raise rates again soon. Accordingly, we
maintained our longer-than-neutral position, allowing the Portfolio's average
duration to fall slowly as our holdings matured and were replaced with new
investments at lower yields. We ended the period with an average duration of 84
days, which is modestly longer than our neutral position of 65 to 75 days.

In addition, we attempted to boost yields by shifting assets to the highest
yielding sectors of the short-term market. In the final months of 1996 and early
in 1997, we shifted our focus to highquality certificates of deposit issued by
strong, creditworthy banks on Citibank's Approved List, which provided better
values and higher yields than comparable investments in corporate or government
securities. By the end of the period, in fact, up to 70% of the Portfolio was
comprised of high-quality bank obligations. We also increased our exposure to
high-quality variable-rate notes, which provided attractive yields.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We remain cautiously optimistic about the future for money market
securities. We are cautious because of short-term concerns regarding the
economy's strength: we could see another period of robust growth. In such an
event, the Federal Reserve may raise short-term interest rates further in an
attempt to forestall an acceleration of inflation. Yields on money market
securities would probably rise as well.

Over the longer term, however, we are optimistic about the economy's
resiliency. In our view, any short-term inflationary pressures, such as higher
wages in a tight labor market, should be offset by long-term economic factors,
such as continued productivity gains and global competition. As a result, we see
little potential for significantly higher interest rates over the long term.

Our strategy in this environment is to take advantage of short-term market
swings. We intend to lengthen the Portfolio's average maturity in anticipation
of periods of lower interest rates and shorten our average maturity when we
expect interest rates to rise. By capturing higher yielding securities as they
become available, we hope to continue to provide our shareholders with
competitive yields commensurate with safety.

* Average Annual Total Return
From 5/1/90

7-DAY YIELDS
- ----------
Annualized Current 5.40%
Effective 5.54%

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, 1997, the Fund paid $0.05240 per share to
shareholders from net investment income. For such period, 2.9% of dividends paid
were derived from interest earned from U.S. Government and U.S. Government
agency obligations.

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.

Premium Liquid Reserves
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 (5.1% at August 31, 1997) in the net assets of the Portfolio.

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 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 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.

(2) DIVIDENDS
The net income of the Fund is determined once daily, as of 3:00 p.m., Eastern
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 fees 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 0.35% of the Fund's
average daily net assets. The Administrative fees amounted to $1,279,941 of
which $708,174 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 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 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
0.10% 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 $365,697, for the year ended August 31, 1997.

(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 $365,697 of which
$315,434 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 1997 and actual
expenses incurred by the Distributor did not exceed 0.10% of Fund's average
daily net assets through August 31, 1997.

(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
$1,293,697,960 and $1,306,354,318, respectively, for the year ended August 31,
1997.

PREMIUM LIQUID RESERVES:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, and the

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, 1997 by
correspondence with the custodian, 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
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 U.S. 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. FEES PAID INDIRECTLY -- The Portfolio's custodian bank calculates its fees
based on the Portfolio's average daily net assets. The fees are 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 Portfolio. 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) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
A. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE -- The Investment advisory fees paid to Citibank, as
compensation for overall investment management services, amounted to $9,148,204,
of which $4,752,918 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 1997.
The investment advisory fees are 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, are computed at
the annual rate of 0.05% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. The
Administrative fees amounted to $3,049,401, all of which were voluntarily waived
for the year ended August 31, 1997. 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
$407,817,667,716 and $404,668,761,218, respectively, for the year ended August
31, 1997.

(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 $60 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, 1997, the commitment fee
allocated to the Portfolio was $23,449. 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, 1997 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, 1997 by correspondence with the custodian, 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, 1997, 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.

A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Shareholder:

Despite the heightened volatility of the financial markets over the past 12
months, short-term U.S. government securities once again provided competitive
returns for shareholders seeking a level of income commensurate with a stable
net asset value. The period was generally characterized by an economy that many
economists consider ideal: moderate growth coupled with low inflation. Yet, the
road to this environment was a bumpy one, marked by periods of
stronger-than-expected growth that occasionally unsettled the longer term stock
and bond markets. Investors who sought the safety of money market funds were
largely unaffected by these markets' volatility.

In this environment, the Landmark Funds' investment adviser, Citibank,
N.A., continued to manage U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio with the goal of
achieving its investment objectives: providing 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 report reviews the Fund's investment activities and performance during
the 12 months ended August 31, 1997, and provides a summary of Citibank's
perspective on and outlook for the U.S. Treasury 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

economic growth during the first half of 1997 is as strong as it was in the
fourth quarter of 1996, the resulting increase in inflationary pressures could
prompt the Federal Reserve to raise key short-term interest rates." In fact, the
economy grew at a rate of 4.9% during the first three months of 1997. In
response, the Federal Reserve Board raised the federal funds rate, the interest
rate banks charge each other for overnight loans, by a modest one-quarter of a
percentage point. Yields on short-term money market securities rose accordingly;
for example, yields on one-year Treasury bills peaked near 6% in April.

The Federal Reserve's move toward a more restrictive monetary policy proved
to be an isolated event during the first half of the year. U.S. economic growth
moderated to a 3.6% rate during the second quarter of the year. As the financial
markets became more complacent about the potential for a reacceleration of
inflation, one-year Treasury bill yields drifted lower and ended the period at
5.66%.

In addition, yields of U.S. Treasury bills were affected by the
government's progress toward a balanced budget. Smaller federal deficits require
less issuance of Treasury securities. Yet, demand remained strong, particularly
from overseas investors attracted to U.S. markets by a strong dollar. These
influences helped keep U.S. Treasury yields low relative to other types of money
market securities.

"Stronger-than-expected tax revenues resulted in a further decline in the
federal budget deficit. The Treasury responded by cutting back on the issuance
of Treasury bills."

"Investor sentiment changed dramatically in April. The market no longer expected
higher inflation, and yields fell."

"We don't expect much volatility over the long term, but we are prepared to take
advantage of any short-term influences, including supply/demand factors, that
move the market."

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER RESPONDS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our primary strategy during the reporting period was to take advantage of
changes in the supply of and demand for U.S. Treasury bills. Yields typically
rise during periods of increased issuance and fall when issuance declines.

Accordingly, we adjusted the Portfolio's average maturity based on
projected Treasury financing schedules. Just prior to times of plentiful
issuance, we reduced the Portfolio's average maturity to as low as 35 days in
order to free up cash for the purchase of higher-yielding T-bills as they became
available. After such purchases, the Portfolio's average maturity naturally
lengthened to as high as 60 days, which enabled us to maintain relatively high
yields when prevailing interest rates declined. We consider an average maturity
of 45 to 50 days to be "neutral." The Portfolio is required to maintain an
average maturity of 60 days or less to preserve its ratings of AAAm and Aaa
assigned by Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service, respectively.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We remain cautiously optimistic about the future for U.S. Treasury
securities. We are cautious because of short-term concerns regarding the
national economy's strength: we could see another period of robust growth. In
such an event, the Federal Reserve may be likely to raise short-term interest
rates further. Yields on U.S. Treasury bills would probably rise as well,
although supply/demand influences may constrain that rise relative to other
types of money market securities.

Our strategy in this environment is to take advantage of short-term market
swings caused by economic and supply/demand influences. We intend to shorten the
Portfolio's average maturity in anticipation of periods of greater issuance and
higher interest rates. Conversely, we intend to lengthen our average maturity
just after period of issuance and when we expect interest rates to fall. By
capturing higher yielding securities as they become available, we hope to
continue to provide our shareholders with competitive yields commensurate with
safety.

7-DAY YIELDS
- ------------
Annualized Current 4.82%
Effective 4.94%

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 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, 1997, the Fund paid $0.04794 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 (26.4% at August 31, 1997) 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 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. 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.

D. OTHER -- All the net investment income of the Portfolio is allocated pro
rata, based on respective ownership interests, among the Fund and 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, Eastern
standard 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 0.35% of the
Fund's average daily net assets. The Administrative fees amounted to $813,209,
of which $344,249 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 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 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, but may not
exceed, on an annualized basis, an amount equal to 0.10% 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 $232,345 for the year ended August 31, 1997.

(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 Distribution fees amounted to $232,345, of which
$198,822 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 1997.

(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
$443,338,899 and $451,168,343, respectively, for the year ended August 31, 1997.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Premium U.S. Treasury Reserves, a separate series of Landmark Premium Funds (the
"Trust") (a Massachusetts business trust), as of August 31, 1997, the related
statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net
assets the years ended August 31, 1997 and 1996, and the financial highlights
for each of the years in the four-year period ended August 31, 1997, the eight
months ended August 31, 1993, and the year ended December 31, 1992. These
financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the
Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. 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, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Premium U.S.
Treasury Reserves at August 31, 1997, the results of its operations, the changes
in its net assets, and its financial highlights for the respective stated
periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
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 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. INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES -- Investment 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. FEES PAID INDIRECTLY -- The Portfolio's custodian bank calculates its fees
based on the Portfolio'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 Portfolio. This amount is shown as a reduction of expenses on the Statement
of Operations.

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 FEE -- The Investment advisory fees paid to Citibank, as
compensation for overall investment management services, amounted to $1,279,172,
of which $784,833 was voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 1997. 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 fees amounted to $426,391, all of which was
voluntarily waived for the year ended August 31, 1997. 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
$13,100,873,271 and $12,945,786,852, respectively, for the year ended August 31,
1997.

(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 $60 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, 1997, the commitment fee
allocated to the Portfolio was $3,796. Since the line of credit was established,
there have been no borrowings.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments, of U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio (a
New York Trust) as of August 31, 1997, the related statement of operations for
the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for the years ended
August 31, 1997 and 1996, and the financial highlights for each of the years in
the four-year period ended August 31, 1997, the eight months ended August 31,
1993, and the year ended December 31, 1992. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of the securities owned as of
August 31, 1997, by correspondence with the custodian. 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, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of U.S. Treasury
