TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:
For the year ended March 31, 1994, CMA Michigan Municipal Money
Fund paid shareholders a net annualized yield of 1.81%*. As of
March 31, 1994, the Fund's 7-day yield was 1.67%.
The Environment
Inflationary expectations changed sharply during the March
quarter. Following better-than-expected economic results, Federal
Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan indicated in Congressional
testimony in January that continued strong expansion of the
economy would lead the central bank to tighten monetary policy in
an effort to control inflation. On February 4, 1994, the central
bank broke with tradition and publicly announced a modest 25
basis point (0.25%) increase in short-term interest rates. At the
March 22 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, the
Federal Reserve Board again raised the Federal Funds rate by 25
basis points, and also announced the increase.
<PAGE>
Rather than view the Federal Reserve Board's first tightening
move as a preemptive strike against inflation, fixed-income
investors focused on Chairman Greenspan's implicit promise of
further tightening should the rate of inflation accelerate, and
bond prices declined sharply. The setback in the bond market was
also reflected in greater stock market volatility. While the
second increase in the Federal Funds rate was less of a surprise,
investors remained concerned that interest rates would trend
upward sharply. As a result, stock and bond prices continued to
decline through the end of March. The volatility in the US
capital markets was mirrored in international markets. Political
and economic developments, along with concerns of heightened
global inflationary pressures, led to a sell-off in most capital
markets, especially the emerging markets that had appreciated
strongly in 1993.
[FN]
*Based on a constant investment throughout the period, with
dividends compounded daily, and reflecting a net return to the
investor after all expenses.
In the weeks ahead, investors will continue to gauge the pace of
the economic expansion and watch for signs of an overheating
economy. At this time, there is little evidence that the rate of
inflation will increase rapidly. Therefore, although the secular
long-term trend toward lower interest rates may be over, it is
not yet certain whether the pace of economic activity will
accelerate to the point where significant Federal Reserve Board
tightening will be necessary to contain inflation.
Investment Outlook and Strategy
In March, in response to the State's improved financial condition
and a more balanced taxation system, Standard & Poor's Corp.
revised Michigan's rating outlook from negative to stable. The
"Big Three" automakers, which had their best year since 1979, are
expecting their growth to continue through 1994. This bodes well
for Michigan's employment picture, which reached record highs in
1993. According to the Michigan Employment Security Commission
(MESC), the State's jobless rate averaged 7.0% for 1993, which
was down nearly two points from 1992's rate of 8.8%. Addition-
ally, the mass restructuring by automakers, which led to plant
closings and layoffs in recent years, is expected to subside
during 1994.
<PAGE>
On March 15, 1994, Michigan voters approved a ballot proposal
that dramatically altered public school financing. This approval
will result in an increase of the State sales tax from 4% to 6%,
a reduced school property tax burden of 50%, a redistribution of
district-to-district expenditures per pupil across the State, and
a shifting of responsibility for school funding from local school
boards to state-elected officials. While there is no immediate
state credit impact, there are some long-term implications. Sales
tax, which will now account for 35% of school funding, tends to
be economically sensitive and therefore a variable source of
revenue. In good years, strong growth in sales tax receipts
should provide ample revenue for school funding. Conversely, in
the weak years of Michigan's cyclically sensitive economy,
revenues may decline and put pressure on other areas of the state
budget or on expenditures at the local school district level.
The new issuance of short-term Michigan debt totaled
approximately $206.9 million during the six-month period ended
March 31, 1994, a decrease from the $363.2 million in debt
brought to market during the previous six months. At the outset
of the March period, the Fund maintained a relatively aggressive
average portfolio maturity given the expected lack of short-term
issuance at the beginning of 1994. Subsequently, with the
expectation that the Federal Reserve Board would tighten monetary
policy, the Fund decreased its average portfolio maturity to take
advantage of anticipated higher interest rates during the second
half of the period. CMA Michigan Municipal Money Fund's average
portfolio maturity, which began the period in the 70-day range,
concluded in the 55-day range. Diversification and credit quality
remain paramount in importance to the Fund, and we will continue
to closely monitor the everchanging marketplace.
We thank you for your support of CMA Michigan Municipal Money
Fund, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the
future.
Sincerely,
(Arthur Zeikel)

CMA MICHIGAN MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies:
CMA Michigan 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 investment management company. 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. 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) Deferred organization expenses and prepaid registration
fees--Deferred organization expenses are charged to expense on a
straight-line basis over a five-year period. Prepaid registration
fees are charged to expense as the related shares are issued.
(e) Dividends to shareholders--The Fund declares dividends daily
and reinvests daily such dividends (net of non-resident alien 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.
<PAGE>
(f) Reclassifications--Undistributed investment income--net, in
the amount of $11,663, has been reclassified to accumulated
realized capital losses--net.
2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions with
Affiliates:
The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with
Fund Asset Management, L.P. ("FAM"). Effective January 1, 1994,
the investment advisory business of FAM was reorganized from a
corporation to a limited partnership. Both prior to and after the
reorganization, ultimate control of FAM was vested with Merrill
Lynch & Co., Inc. ("ML & Co."). The general partner of FAM is
Princeton Services, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
ML & Co. The limited partners are ML & Co. and Merrill Lynch
Investment Management, Inc. ("MLIM"), which is also an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of ML & Co.
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: 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets not
exceeding $500 million; 0.425% of average daily net assets in
excess of $500 million but not exceeding $1 billion; and 0.375%
of average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion.
The most restrictive annual expense limitation requires that the
adviser reimburse the Fund to the extent the Fund's expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, distribution fees, brokerage fees and
commissions, and extraordinary items) exceed in any fiscal year
2.5% of the Fund's first $30 million of average daily net assets,
2.0% of the Fund's next $70 million of average daily net assets,
and 1.5% of the average daily net assets in excess thereof. No
fee payment will be made to the Investment Adviser during any
year which will cause such expenses to exceed the pro rata
expense limitation at the time of such payment.
