U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(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 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
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. 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
developed to measure the value of cash deposited with the custodian by the Fund.
This amount is shown as a reduction of expense 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 $544,103,
of which $359,221 was voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 29,
1996. 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 $181,368, all of which was voluntarily waived
for the six months ended February 29, 1996. 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
$3,295,588,021 and $3,484,681,350, respectively, for the six months ended
February 29, 1996.

(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 six months ended February 29, 1996, the
commitment fee allocated to the Portfolio was $2,046. Since the line of credit
was established, there have been no borrowings.
