FRANCIS L. MUSTARO
Vice President, Citibank, N.A.
Francis L. Mustaro is the manager of the Landmark VIP U.S. Government
Fund. Mr. Mustaro, a Vice President of Citibank, has over twenty years
experience as a trader and portfolio manager, with emphasis on fixed income
products. Prior to joining Citibank in 1989, he served as Team Leader and Fixed
Income Product Manager at Citicorp Securities Markets, Inc.

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

U.S. government securities produced modestly positive total rates of return
in 1996 despite a sharp rise in interest rates early in the year. Bond yields
subsequently retraced much of their rise during the second half as it became
clearer that the economy would grow modestly, monetary policy would hold steady
and inflation would remain low, albeit with a moderately upward bias.

Consistent with our conservative management approach, we employed
average-duration and sector-rotation strategies to allocate Fund assets among
U.S. Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government
National Mortgage Association, a government-guaranteed Federal agency.

Looking forward, we are optimistic regarding the U.S. bond market in 1997.
We expect the first part of the year to show slow growth, an unchanged monetary
policy and modestly lower interest rates. In addition, the prospect of continued
moderate inflation during the seventh year of an economic recovery should make
investors more comfortable investing in bonds for the longer term. The bond
market could become particularly attractive if President Clinton and the
Republican Congress make substantial progress toward further reducing the
federal budget deficit.

GRANT HOBSON
Vice President, Citibank, N.A.
RICHARD GOLDMAN
Vice President, Citibank, N.A.
MARK LINDBLOOM
Vice President, Citibank, N.A.

Grant D. Hobson, Richard Goldman and Mark Lindbloom are the managers of the
Landmark VIP Balanced Fund. Mr. Hobson and Mr. Goldman manage the equity portion
of the portfolio. Mr. Hobson is responsible for managing U.S. equity portfolios
for trust and pension accounts of Citibank Global Asset Management and currently
manages more than $1 billion of total assets at Citibank. Prior to joining
Citibank in 1993, Mr. Hobson was a Sector Portfolio Manager for Axe Houghton,
formerly a division of USF&G, where he was responsible for equity investments
for pension accounts and mutual funds. Mr. Goldman is responsible for managing
approximately $600 million of total assets and for quantitative equity research
for the U.S. institutional business of Citibank Global Asset Management. He
joined Citicorp's Investment Management Division in 1985 and from 1988 to 1994
was responsible for running Citicorp's Institutional Investor Relations
Department. Mr. Lindbloom manages the fixed income portion of the portfolio. He
came to Citibank in 1986 from Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., where he managed
fixed income assets for discretionary corporate portfolios.

THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS RESPOND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While stocks produced above-average returns in 1996, the bond market did
not keep pace, generating modestly positive rates of total return. Both markets
were influenced by an economy characterized by moderate growth, low inflation,
reasonable interest rates and a monetary policy unchanged since January.
Large-capitalization stocks did particularly well during the second half of the
year as investors placed a significant premium on earnings consistency,
liquidity and risk management. In the bond market, sharp declines in the first
half of the year were mostly recovered in the second half, contributing to
modestly positive total returns.

In the stock market, we found attractive growth companies in the
large-capitalization and mid-capitalization market sectors, including the
consumer non-durables, consumer services, finance and technology industries. We
sold a number of utility and energy stocks, and we shifted our holdings in the
health care industry out of HMOs into other types of companies with stronger,
more visible growth potential.

In the bond market, finding high-quality bonds offering competitively high
yields proved difficult in an environment of narrower-than-normal differences in
rates among the various classes of fixed-income securities. Ultimately, we
obtained attractive yields from certain mortgage-backed securities, a sector
that performed well in the 1996 market environment.

We are cautiously optimistic regarding U.S. stocks and bonds in 1997. We
are optimistic because current indicators suggest that the first part of 1997's
economy will show an unchanged monetary policy and, modestly lower interest
rates. The bond market could become particularly attractive if the federal
government makes progress toward further reducing the federal budget deficit.
Our stock market outlook is more cautious. The fundamentals of rising corporate
earnings and good liquidity suggest that the bull market has a way to go, but
stock prices relative to earnings are at the high end of their historical range.
Therefore, we cannot rule out a short-term correction that will bring stock
valuations down to more sustainable levels.

The Portfolio Managers Respond
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1996 was an excellent year for the U.S. stock market, especially
established, large-capitalization stocks. The market was driven higher by
positive economic developments, strong corporate earnings and, as it has been
for the past several years, substantial inflows of money from individuals and
retirement plans. Small-cap and mid-cap companies fared less well, however, due
to a mid-summer correction in the formerly high-flying technology sector.

During 1996, we found attractive growth stocks in both the
large-capitalization and mid-capitalization sectors of the stock market. To take
advantage of these opportunities, we sold some of the Portfolio's less
growth-oriented positions, including stocks of utilities and energy companies.
Additions to the Portfolio during the second half of 1996 consisted mainly of
companies in the consumer non-durables, consumer services, finance and
technology industries. We also shifted our holdings in the health care industry
out of HMOs into other types of companies with stronger, more visible growth
potential.

We are cautiously optimistic regarding the U.S. stock market in 1997. The
economy appears to be on a steady course in which it should neither overheat to
inflationary levels nor deteriorate into recession. But because the recent rally
has been exceptional in both magnitude and duration, we cannot rule out a
short-term correction. We would view a possible correction as an excellent
opportunity to buy high-quality growth companies at attractively low prices.

Vice President, Citibank, N.A.

Trevor Forbes, based in Citibank's London office, is the manager of the
Landmark VIP International Equity Fund. Mr. Forbes is the head of Citibank's
International Equity Department in London and the senior portfolio manager of
global, non-U.S. equity and European equity portfolios for institutional
accounts. Before joining Citibank in 1991, Mr. Forbes managed the investment
business of Abbey Life.

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

1996 was a time of change in international stock markets, producing mixed
investment results. In Europe, where certain markets were up as much as 40%,
many companies were engaged in the sort of restructuring activities that have
already helped U.S. companies cut costs and boost earnings. Asian markets fared
less well than their European counterparts, however. Persistent economic and
political difficulties in Japan continued to constrain the performance of its
stock market, and the emerging markets of Asia had to compete for assets with
strong U.S. and European markets.

We implemented significant strategic changes in both asset allocation and
security selection during the second half of 1996, modifications designed to
reduce short-term volatility and position the Portfolio for improved
performance. We have substantially reduced the Portfolio's cash position,
shifting most of those assets to the established markets represented in the
widely recognized EAFE (Europe, Asia, Far East) Index. In addition, the
leadership of many overseas markets appears to be shifting from growth-oriented
stocks to stocks selling at attractive prices relative to future earnings. To
ensure that we are prepared for this eventuality, and to manage volatility
effectively, we are placing greater emphasis on the value-oriented component of
our disciplined stock selection process.

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Landmark VIP U.S. Government Fund, Landmark VIP Balanced Fund, Landmark VIP
Equity Fund and Landmark VIP International Equity Fund (the "Funds") are each a
separate diversified series of Landmark VIP Funds (the "Trust") which is
organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, management
investment company. The Investment Adviser of each Fund is Citibank, N.A.
("Citibank"). The Landmark Funds Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("LFBDS") acts as
the Funds' Administrator and Distributor. Shares of each Fund may only be
purchased or redeemed through variable annuity contracts and variable life
insurance policies offered by the separate accounts of participating insurance
companies.

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 Funds are
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and are as follows:

A. INVESTMENT SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Equity securities are valued at
the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded, or at
the quoted bid price for securities for which there were no sales during the
day, or for unlisted securities not reported on the NASDAQ system. Securities
listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price available.
Bonds and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations
maturing in sixty days or less) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished
by a pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Trustees. In
making such valuations, the pricing service utilizes both dealer-supplied
valuations and electronic data processing techniques which take into account
appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of
securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading
characteristics and other market data, without exclusive reliance upon quoted
prices or exchanges or over-the-counter prices. Short-term obligations maturing
in sixty days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which constitutes fair
value as determined by the Trustees. Portfolio securities for which there are no
such quotations or valuations are valued at fair value as determined in good
faith by or under guidelines established by the Trustees. Trading in securities
on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed
before the close of the New York Stock Exchange and may also take place on days
on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed. If events materially affecting
the value of foreign securities occur between the time when the exchange on
which they are traded closes and the time when each Fund's net asset value is
calculated, such securities will be valued at fair value in accordance with
procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

B. INCOME -- Interest income consists of interest accrued and discount earned,
adjusted for amortization of premium or discount on long-term debt securities
when required for Federal income tax purposes. Gain and loss from principal
paydowns are recorded as interest income. Dividend income and other
distributions from investments are recorded on ex-dividend date. Dividend income
is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not
assured.

C. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION -- The accounting records of each of the Funds,
are maintained in U.S. dollars. For each of the Funds, except Landmark VIP U.S.
Government Fund which invests only in U.S. dollar denominated securities,
foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of
exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities.
Purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses are translated at the
prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. The
Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from
changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising
from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included
with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Translations
of foreign currency includes net exchange gains and losses, disposition of
foreign currency and the difference between the amount of investment income and
foreign taxes withheld recorded and the amount actually received or paid.

D. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS -- Each of the Funds except
Landmark VIP U.S. Government Fund may enter into forward foreign currency
exchange contracts ("contracts") in connection with planned purchases or sales
of securities to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated
in a particular currency. Each of the Funds except Landmark VIP U.S. Government
Fund could be exposed to risks if the counter-parties to the contracts are
unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in
the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The forward foreign
currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the
underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement
purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

E. FEDERAL TAXES -- Each Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income, including any net realized
gain on investment transactions. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or
excise tax is necessary. At December 31, 1996, the Landmark VIP U.S. Government
Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had a capital loss carryover of $9,907,
which will expire December 31, 2004. Such capital loss carryover will reduce the
Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investment
transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and
thus will reduce the amount of the distributions to shareholders which would
otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for Federal income
or excise tax.

F. EXPENSES -- Each 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 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.

G. DISTRIBUTIONS -- Each Fund determines the amount and character of income and
net realized gains to be distributed in accordance with income tax rules and
regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These differences are attributable to permanent book and tax accounting
differences. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to
reflect income and net realized gains available for distribution (or available
capital loss carryovers) under income tax rules and regulations. For the period
ended December 31, 1996, the Landmark VIP International Equity Fund reclassified
$15,478 from undistributed net investment income to accumulated gain on
investments. The Landmark VIP U.S. Government Fund reclassified $110 from
undistributed net investment income to paid-in capital. The Landmark VIP
Balanced Fund reclassified $498 from undistributed net investment income to
accumulated gain on investments.

H. OTHER -- Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.
Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the
identified cost basis. All dividends and distributions will be recorded on the
ex-dividend date, and will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of a
fund issued at the net asset value of such shares on the payment date of such
dividend and distributions.

I. BENEFICIAL INTEREST -- At December 31, 1996, an insurance companies or its
separate accounts were the record owners of all the shares of each Fund.

(2) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES

The investment advisory fee paid to Citibank, as compensation for overall
investment management services is accrued daily and computed at the following
annual rate of average daily net assets:

o Landmark VIP U.S. Government Fund .............. 0.40%
o Landmark VIP U.S. Balance Fund ................. 0.40%
o Landmark VIP U.S. Equity Fund .................. 0.50%
o Landmark VIP U.S. International Equity Fund .... 1.00%

The investment adviser has waived all of its fees for each Fund for the year
ended December 31, 1996.

(3) ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
Under the terms of an Administrative Services Agreement, the administrative
service fees payable to the Administrator, as compensation for overall
administrative services and general office facilities, is computed at an annual
rate of 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets, all of which was
voluntarily waived for the year ended December 31, 1996. 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 Trust pays no
compensation directly to any Trustee or any other officer who is affiliated with
the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the
Trust from the Administrator or its affiliates.

(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, under which the Fund reimburses
the Distributor for expenses incurred or anticipated in connection with the
distribution of shares of the Funds at an annual rate not to exceed 0.05% of
each Fund's average daily net assets, all of which was voluntarily waived for
the year ended December 31, 1996.

(5) PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term obligations, for
the year ended December 31, 1996, were as follows:

PURCHASES SALES
--------- -----
Landmark VIP U.S. Government Fund ......... $ 878,071 $ 635,019

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Trustees and the Shareholders of
Landmark VIP Funds:
Landmark VIP U.S. Government Fund
Landmark VIP Balanced Fund
Landmark VIP Equity Fund
Landmark VIP International Equity Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments and the related statement of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of each of the four funds constituting
Landmark VIP Funds (hereafter referred to as "the Trust") at December 31, 1996,
the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets
and their financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Trust's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
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 securities owned at December 31, 1996 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the application of alternative
auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide
a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
