TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the six-month period ended September 30, 1999, CMA Connecticut Municipal
Money Fund paid shareholders a net annualized yield of 2.47%.* As of September
30, 1999, the Fund's 7-day yield was 2.83%.

Economic Environment

During the six-month period ended September 30, 1999, continued strength in the
domestic economy and increasing signs of recovery in the global economies moved
the Federal Reserve Board to raise short-term interest rates for the first time
since March 1997. The 50 basis point (0.50%) increase in the Federal Funds
target rate negatively influenced both fixed-income and equity markets.
Fixed-income investors, while not surprised by the interest rate increases, saw
US Treasury yields move sharply higher across the maturity spectrum. Equity
markets, after reaching record levels by late August 1999, experienced sizable
declines after the second 25 basis point tightening by the Federal Reserve Board
on August 24, 1999.

Investment Strategy

CMA Connecticut Municipal Money Fund began the six-month period with an average
portfolio maturity in the 40-day range. The Fund experienced heavy redemptions
during the income tax-payment period in late April and early May. Our position
in variable rate demand notes allowed us to meet the outflows that decreased the
Fund's assets by approximately 9%. Short-term municipal note yields followed
Treasury yields higher as the period progressed. The yield on one-year
Connecticut municipal notes rose to the 3.50% range from 2.95% in early April.
This rise in yields presented an opportunity for us to extend the Fund's average
portfolio maturity to the 60-day range by period-end. We achieved this extension
with purchases of municipal notes primarily in the six-month-nine-month maturity
range and commercial paper with maturities of February and March 2000. These
respective ranges helped us to achieve our investment strategy of providing
shareholders with an attractive yield while limiting our interest rate exposure
risk.

During the six-month period ended September 30, 1999, Connecticut short-term
municipal issuance increased to $553.9 million from $263.4 million at March 31,
1999. Connecticut's economy remained strong throughout the period as the state
anticipated ending fiscal year 1999 with a budget surplus exceeding $500
million. Our portfolio strategy during the period ended continued to provide
shareholders with a competitive yield relative to its peer group as measured by
IBC Financial Data.

In Conclusion

In the months ahead, we will continue to closely monitor the activities of the
Federal Reserve Board. The investment community remains cautious on the belief
that short-term US interest rates may have to move higher than current levels to
effectively slow the domestic economy. In the short-term municipal market,
year-end inventory concerns and the asset inflows associated with January coupon
payments and maturities are likely to influence the direction of short-term
yields in the upcoming months.

*     Based on a constant investment throughout the period, with dividends
      compounded daily, and reflecting a net return to the investor after all
      expenses.


                                                                               1

CMA CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
================================================================================

1. Significant Accounting Policies:

CMA Connecticut Municipal Money Fund (the "Fund") is part of CMA Multi-State
Municipal Series Trust (the "Trust"). The Fund is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management
investment company. The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of
management accruals and estimates. These unaudited financial statements reflect
all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair
statement of the results for the interim period presented. All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies followed by the Fund.

(a) Valuation of investments -- Investments are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market value. For the purpose of valuation, the maturity of a
variable rate demand instrument is deemed to be the next coupon date on which
the interest rate is to be adjusted. In the case of a floating rate instrument,
the remaining maturity is the demand notice payment period.

(b) Income taxes -- It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.

(c) Security transactions and investment income -- Security transactions are
recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates).
Interest income (including amortization of premium and discount) is recognized
on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are
determined on the identified cost basis.

(d) Prepaid registration fees -- Prepaid registration fees are charged to
expense as the related shares are issued.

(e) Dividends and distributions to shareholders -- The Fund declares dividends
daily and reinvests daily such dividends (net of non-resident alien tax and
back-up withholding tax withheld) in additional fund shares at net asset value.
Dividends are declared from the total of net investment income, excluding
discounts earned other than original issue discounts. Net realized capital
gains, if any, are normally distributed annually after deducting prior years'
loss carryforward. The Fund may distribute capital gains more frequently than
annually in order to maintain the Fund's net asset value at $1.00 per share.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions with Affiliates:

The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Fund Asset
Management, L.P. ("FAM"). The general partner of FAM is Princeton Services, Inc.
("PSI"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("ML &
Co."), which is the limited partner.

FAM is responsible for the management of the Fund's portfolio and provides the
necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary
to the operations of the Fund. For such services, the Fund pays a monthly fee
based upon the average daily value of the Fund's net assets, at the following
annual rates: .50% of the first $500 million of average daily net assets; .425%
of average daily net assets in excess of $500 million but not exceeding $1
billion; and .375% of average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion.

Pursuant to the Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan in compliance with
Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MLPF&S") receives a distribution fee from the Fund
at the end of each month at the annual rate of .125% of average daily net assets
of the Fund. The distribution fee is to compensate MLPF&S financial consultants
and other directly
