  Tax Free Reserves Portfolio

===============================================================================
  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Tax Free Reserves Portfolio (the
"Portfolio") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a no-load, non-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. Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") acts as the Investment Adviser. The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the 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. 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. FEES PAID INDIRECTLY -- The Fund's custodian bank calculates its fees based
on the Fund's average daily net assets. The fee is reduced according to a fee
arrangement, which provides for custody fees to be reduced based on a formula

(4) FEDERAL INCOME TAX BASIS OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The cost of investment securities owned at February 28, 1997, for federal income

(5) 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. The line
of credit requires a quarterly payment of a commitment fee based on the average
daily unused portion of the line of credit. For the six months ended February
28, 1997, the commitment fee allocated to the Portfolio was $966. Since the line
of credit was established, there have been no borrowings.
