PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The past few months have been an unsettling time for bond investors. The
bond market declined after the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term
interest rates in February and March. These rate hikes caused bond yields
to rise and bond prices to fall. While nobody knows whether rates will
continue to go up, this may be a good time to review the effect rising
rates have on your bond fund investment, and consider how well your current
bond fund holdings match your original investment goals.
Most investors choose bond funds to generate income and to help diversify
their investment portfolios. Despite the recent market downturn, bond
mutual funds still satisfy these needs. Where investors have felt the
negative effect of rising rates is in the market value of their investment,
which has eroded as bond prices have fallen. It's important to remember,
however, that this loss in principal is only "on paper" until you choose to
sell your shares. That's why your investing time horizon is key.
If your time horizon is short - one year or less - you may want to consider
shifting all or part of your bond fund investment into short-term
investments. If you can't keep your investment in the bond fund until
yields start falling again and bond prices rise, you increase your risk of
not recouping the full value of the shares. A money market fund provides a
stable $1 share price and a yield that becomes more attractive as rates go
up.
If you don't need your money within the next year, staying in your bond
fund may be the appropriate strategy for you. The longer your investing
time frame, the better your chances of retaining your principal investment
through periods of rising AND falling rates. For example, if you plan to
use your money in one to two years, a short-term bond fund may be the right
choice. If your time frame is two to four years, a fund with an
intermediate length average maturity may be best. If you have a longer-term
goal - say a child's college education that's ten years away - you may be
willing to ride out the bond market's peaks and valleys in exchange for the
higher potential returns of a longer-term fund.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account
Builder.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value), and the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.
You can also look at the fund's income. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain fund expenses during the periods shown, the total returns and
dividends would have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a set period - in
this case, six months, one year, five years, or since the fund started on
October 29, 1987. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a
5% return over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. You can compare
these figures to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
index - a broad gauge of the municipal bond market. To measure how the fund
stacked up against its peers, you can look at the average Connecticut
tax-exempt municipal bond fund, which reflects the performance of 13
Connecticut municipal bond funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services.
Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer price index helps show how
your fund did compared to inflation.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan
Connecticut Municipal High Yield Portfolio on October 31, 1987, shortly
after the fund started. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1994, the value of
your investment would have grown to $17,133 - a 71.33% increase on your
initial investment. This assumes you still own the fund on May 31, and
therefore does not include the effect of the $5 account closeout fee. For
comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond index did over
the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 would have
grown to $17,956 - a 79.56% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund
that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

by the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by
the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested. Capital appreciation and total returns include the effect of
the $5 account closeout fee.

year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the
yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. It does not reflect the cost of hedging and other
currency gains and losses. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Peter Allegrini,
Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Connecticut Municipal High Yield
Portfolio
Q. PETER, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. It has been a difficult period for both the municipal bond market and
the fund. For the six months ended May 31, 1994, the fund had a total
return of -2.73%. That slightly beat the average Connecticut municipal
fund, which returned -2.93% for the same period, according to Lipper
Analytical Services. For the 12 months ended May 31, 1994, the fund
returned 1.77%, compared to the average return of 1.47%, again according to
Lipper.
Q. LET'S START WITH THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET - WHAT CAUSED IT TO FALL OVER
THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Simply put, higher interest rates. Most municipal bond investors greeted
the start of 1994 with enthusiasm, based partly on expectations that strong
supply and demand factors would work in municipal bonds' favor. The supply
of new bonds issued was estimated to be half as much in 1994 as in 1993,
and higher federal income taxes were expected to ignite demand. Investors
entered the new year fully invested and the technical factors for the
municipal bond market were positive. But, in February, the Federal Reserve
made its first of several interest rate hikes, causing long-term bond
investors to react negatively. The Federal Reserve raised the federal funds
rate - the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans - to 3.25%. And
through May, the Fed moved three more times, raising the fed funds rate to
4.25%. The Fed rate hikes were allegedly a preemptive strike against
inflation. The economy appeared to be heating up and the Fed seemed
determined to keep inflation in check. The Fed's action was met with a good
deal of skepticism resulting in the quick, abrupt bond market sell-off from
February to May.
Q. WHAT STRATEGIES DID YOU USE TO HELP OFFSET SOME OF THE MARKET'S DECLINE?
A. Hedging with futures was one strategy I used. When the market fell, the
futures rose. There's been a lot of talk lately about derivatives, and
futures are one type of financial arrangements known as a derivative -
meaning its market value is derived from an underlying security or market
index. We have used futures and options in our mutual funds for years.
However, a futures contract is not the type of derivative that's been
getting most of the publicity lately. More recently, I've also started
using a derivative known as an inverse floater - whose yield rises as
short-term rates fall, and vice versa. Throughout the past six months,
inverse floaters made up less than 5% of the fund's total investments. By
using these various derivatives, I can achieve higher levels of tax-exempt
income and increased flexibility in managing the fund's overall sensitivity
to changes in interest rates. Keep in mind that these strategies involve
risk and don't always work as intended.
Q. IN 1993, YOU POSITIONED THE FUND TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FALLING INTEREST
RATES. NOW THAT INTEREST RATES HAVE RISEN, WHAT'S YOUR STRATEGY?
A. My strategy is basically the same. I try to find the best value for the
money, across a variety of credit qualities. In my view, the best way to
achieve a consistently high rate of return is to generate a substantial
amount of income and take advantage of changes in interest rates, which can
sometimes create inefficient prices. One way I'm trying to generate more
income is through increasing the fund's stake in high-yielding, lower
quality Ba- and B-rated bonds. As the economy improves, so should the
credit quality of many of these bonds.
Q. YOU ALSO HAVE 9.7% OF THE FUND INVESTED IN NON-RATED BONDS - AREN'T
THESE MORE RISKY THAN RATED BONDS?
A. They can be. But we feel that our research staff - which is one of the
largest in the industry - gives us a real advantage in evaluating the
creditworthiness and strength of non-rated bonds. Most of the fund's
non-rated bonds are lower-quality nursing homes, a sector that can be
difficult to understand without intensive research, given the uncertainty
surrounding health care reform. These bonds are attractive because they
offer relatively high yields. What's more, a recent legislative change now
allows Connecticut nursing homes to refund, or buy back, their older,
non-rated bonds, and issue new bonds through the state, which carries a
higher rating. When these bonds were refunded, their credit quality
improved and so did their prices. In addition, the new legislation
indicates that the state is committed to reducing the interest costs for
nursing homes.
Q. YOU MENTIONED THE SUPPLY AND DEMAND FACTORS THAT WERE EXPECTED TO BOOST
MUNICIPAL PRICES THIS YEAR. DID RISING INTEREST RATES DERAIL ANY POSITIVE
EFFECT OF THOSE FACTORS?
A. Higher rates didn't derail the positive effects, they just delayed their
impact. As expected, there has been a slowdown in the supply of new bonds
issued in 1994, and higher interest rates should effectively remove the
incentive for any issuer to refinance most older debt. And despite the
market sell-off, demand for municipals has started to increase. Many
high-income Americans now realize that municipal bonds and municipal bond
funds are among the few remaining ways to generate tax-free income. I think
a lower supply and even a constant demand will bode well for municipal
bonds, once the dust settles and the market calms down.
Q. IN YOUR OPINION, WHEN WILL THAT BE?
A. It's pretty tough to say for sure at this point. However, there is some
evidence that the municipal market is basing, meaning it looks like it may
have reached a bottom. My long-term outlook is for interest rates not to
rise too much from here, maybe another quarter to a half percent. But if
interest rates do rise higher than I expect, I'll take steps to make the
fund less sensitive to interest rate changes. If not, I'll continue to
maintain the fund's current structure. Whatever happens, it will be nearly
impossible to produce the same strong returns in 1994 that we enjoyed in
1993. So investors would be wise to expect more modest returns. In my view,
the municipal market is as attractive as it will get this year, and munis
are a good value compared to U.S. Treasury securities. In the past, when
municipal yields are two times the inflation rate - which they are now - it
has been a good time to invest in municipal bonds.

PETER ALLEGRINI ON THE
CONNECTICUT ECONOMY:
"Connecticut's economy
appears to be on the mend,
although the state is
continuing to experience the
effects of cutbacks in the
defense and insurance
industries. Changes to those
industries are not temporary,
they're permanent and it may
take some time for all the
effects of massive
restructuring to work
themselves out. On the other
hand, the state's fiscal
situation is improving. New
tax laws have brought stability
to the amount of revenues
collected and the state
appears to be on track in
balancing its budget for the
third straight year."
(bullet) Because of recent tax hikes
at the federal level, some
Connecticut residents could
be subject to a tax-rate as
high as 42.32% in 1994.
(bullet) Of the fund's total
investments, 9.7% were in
bonds that are non-rated, as
of May 31, 1994. These
bonds are attractive because
of their relatively high yields.
(bullet) Health-care bonds continue
to make up the fund's largest
investments - 28.7% as of
May 31, 1994. These bonds
are also attractive, in part,
because of their high yields.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
SPARTAN CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects the change in a fund's share price
over a given period, reinvestment of its dividends (or income), and the
effect of the fund's $5 account closeout fee. Yield measures the income
paid by a fund. Since a money market fund tries to maintain a $1 share
price, yield is an important measure of performance. If Fidelity had not
voluntarily reimbursed the fund for expenses during the periods shown, the
total returns would have been lower.

Consumer Price Index 1.17% 2.29% 9.42%

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a set period - in
this case, six months, one year, or since the fund started on March 4,
1991. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return
over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. Comparing the fund's
performance to the consumer price index (CPI) helps show how your
investment did compared to inflation. To measure how the fund stacked up
against its peers, you can compare its return to the average Connecticut
tax-free money market fund's total return. This average currently reflects
the performance of 12 Connecticut tax-free money market funds tracked by
IBC/Donoghue. (The periods covered by the CPI and IBC/Donoghue numbers are
the closest available match to those covered by the fund.)

YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual
percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or
compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's
current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. You can
compare these yields to the average tax-free money market fund. Or you can
look at the fund's tax-equivalent yield, which is based on a combined
effective 1994 federal and Connecticut state income tax rate of 38.88% and
reflects that a portion of the fund's income was subject to state taxes. If
the adviser had not reimbursed certain portfolio expenses during the
periods shown, the yields and tax-equivalent yields would have been 2.21%,
3.59% and 1.94%, 3.17% for the periods ended May 31, 1993 and August 31
1993, respectively. The tax-equivalent figures are useful in seeing how the
fund stacked up against the average taxable money market fund as tracked by
IBC/Donoghue.
A MONEY MARKET FUND'S TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS WILL VARY, AND REFLECT PAST
RESULTS RATHER THAN PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
COMPARING
PERFORMANCE
Yields on tax-free
investments are usually lower
than yields on taxable
investments. However, a
straight comparison between
the two may be misleading
because it ignores the way
taxes reduce taxable returns.
Tax-equivalent yield - the
yield you'd have to earn on a
similar taxable investment to
match the tax-free yield -
makes the comparison more
meaningful. Keep in mind that
the U.S. government neither
insures nor guarantees a
money market fund. In fact,
there is no assurance that a
money market fund will
maintain a $1 share price.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Scott Orr,
Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Connecticut Municipal Money
Market Portfolio
Q. SCOTT, THERE'S BEEN SOME TURMOIL IN THE MONEY MARKETS THESE PAST FEW
MONTHS. CAN YOU BRING US UP TO DATE?
A. Well, interest rates were actually pretty stable through January. Then
on February 4, 1994, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate
one-quarter percent, reversing three years of actions designed to stimulate
economic growth. The Fed's move took many market participants by surprise.
At the time, the economy was improving and inflation seemed under control.
The Fed, however, was intent on controlling any inflationary trends before
they became a problem. After the initial increase, two more quarter-point
increases followed over the next two months, and finally a half-point
increase in May to 4.25%.
Q. HOW DID THAT AFFECT TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS?
A. Initially, very little. Demand typically outpaces supply at the
beginning of the year, and that kept tax-free interest rates from rising as
fast as taxable rates. In April, the gap began to narrow, and by the end of
May the relationship between taxable and tax-free interest rates more
closely reflected the maximum tax rate.
Q. STRATEGICALLY, HOW DID YOU COPE WITH CHANGING CONDITIONS?
A. Although I, too, was surprised by the timing of the Fed's move, I had
been preparing for rising interest rates for several months. The fund's
average maturity, an aggressive 72 days at the start of the period last
November, had fallen into the mid 50s by February as the fund added
short-term variable-rate instruments. Those performed well as rates rose. I
was also helped, by all the new money that flowed into the fund during the
first quarter of the calendar year. Most of this money was invested in
shorter-term securities which further reduced the fund's average maturity.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. On May 31, 1994, the fund's seven-day yield was 2.32%, up from 1.96% six
months ago. The latest yield is the equivalent of a 3.78% yield on a
taxable investment for Connecticut investors in the 36% federal tax
bracket. The fund's total return for the six months ended May 31 was .99%.
That beat the average total return during the same period for all
Connecticut tax-free money market funds of .91%, according to IBC/Donoghue.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE FUND?
A. I expect that rates will remain stable for at least the next few months.
That's because I don't believe the Fed has been trying to put the brakes on
economic growth so much as remove the stimulus of artificially low rates.
And with the half-point increase in May, that goal, for now possibly, has
now been achieved. However, if the economy keeps growing, the Fed could
decide to act again as early as this fall. With that in mind, I'll probably
aim for an average maturity within the 45-55 day range.

MONEY MARKETS AND
DERIVATIVES:
The word "derivatives" covers
a wide range of financial
agreements, of varying
degrees of complexity, that
have market values based on
security or market indices. All
"derivative" securities in
Fidelity's money market funds
are designed to have the price
characteristics of typical
money market securities.
During the recent Federal
Reserve Board interest rate
increases, all Fidelity money
market holdings performed as
designed and the funds
maintained a stable share
price of $1.00.
The more complex of these
instruments, such as floating
rate notes with unusual and
complex floating rate
formulas, frequently have too
much price volatility to be
appropriate investments for
money market funds. Many of
them do not offer the degree
of price stability Fidelity
believes is required in order
for its funds to maintain a
stable $1.00 share price.
Therefore, despite their
frequent higher yields at the
time they are sold, Fidelity
has not purchased these
volatile securities. While this
may sometimes have caused
Fidelity money market funds
to have lower gross yields
than certain other funds,
Fidelity believes its investors
value prudence as well as
performance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1994 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan Connecticut Municipal High Yield Portfolio (the high yield fund) is
a fund of Fidelity Court Street Trust. Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money
Market Portfolio (the money market fund) is a fund of Fidelity Court Street
Trust II. Each trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company. Fidelity Court Street Trust and Fidelity Court Street Trust II
(the trusts) are organized as a Massachusetts business trust and a Delaware
business trust, respectively. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the money market fund and the high yield fund:
SECURITY VALUATION.
HIGH YIELD FUND. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days are valued either at amortized cost or original
cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available through the
pricing service are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the
Board of Trustees.
MONEY MARKET FUND. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and
thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, each fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for the fiscal
year. The schedules of investments include information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned. For the
money market fund, accretion of market discount represents unrealized gain
until realized at the time of a security disposition or maturity.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of each trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income. Distributions to shareholders from
realized capital gains on investments, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to futures and options
transactions.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -
CONTINUED
The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income
tax purposes.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective December
1, 1993, the funds adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the funds changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of November 30, 1993 have been restated to reflect
an increase in paid in capital and a decrease in accumulated net realized
gain on investments of $94,330 for the high yield fund. No adjustments were
necessary for the money market fund.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the fund less than 180 days are subject to
a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The
fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid
in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Each fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the
underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Each fund
may receive compensation for interest forgone in a delayed delivery
transaction. Each fund identifies securities as segregated in its custodial
records with a value at least equal to the amount of the purchase
commitment.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The high yield fund may invest in futures
contracts and write options. These investments involve, to varying degrees,
elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amount recognized in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts reflect
the extent of the involvement the high yield fund has in the particular
classes of instruments. Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation
between movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the
underlying securities and interest rates. Risks also may arise if there is
an illiquid secondary market for the instruments, or due to the inability
of counterparties to perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
HIGH YIELD FUND. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $30,244,687 and $73,072,974, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$171,240,500 and $169,770,543,
respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, FMR pays all expenses
except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and certain
exceptions such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses. FMR receives a fee that is computed daily at an annual rate of
.55% and .50% of average net assets for the high yield and money market
funds, respectively.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to each fund. For
the period, FMR or its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from
shareholders which aggregated $4,680 and $2,187 for the high yield and
money market funds, respectively.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the money market fund's investment sub-adviser, FMR
Texas Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of
50% of the management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any
voluntary expense reimbursements which may be in effect, and after reducing
the fee for any payments by FMR pursuant to the fund's Distribution and
Service Plan.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plans (the Plans), and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Act, FMR or the
funds' distributor, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate
of FMR, may use their resources to pay administrative and promotional
expenses related to the sale of each fund's shares. Subject to the approval
of each Board of Trustees, the Plans also authorize payments to third
parties that assist in the sale of each fund's shares or render shareholder
support services. FMR or FDC has informed the funds that payments made to
third parties under the Plans amounted to $1,271 for the high yield fund
and no payments were made for the money market fund for the period.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
No one wants to pay more taxes than they have to. But a recent survey of
500 U.S. households, conducted by Fidelity and Yankelovich Partners, showed
that few people took steps to reduce their taxes under the new tax laws
that went into effect last year. In fact, many people were not completely
aware of the changes until they filed their 1993 tax returns.
Whether or not you're someone whose tax bill increased as a result of these
changes, it may make sense to consider ways to keep more of what you earn.
First, if your employer offers a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement savings plan,
consider enrolling. These plans are set up so you can make regular
contributions -
before taxes - to a retirement savings plan. They offer a disciplined
savings strategy, the ability to accumulate earnings tax-deferred, and
immediate tax savings. For example, if you earn $40,000 a year and
contribute 7% of your salary to your 401(k) plan, your annual contribution
is $2,800. That reduces your taxable income to $37,200 and, if you're in
the
28% tax bracket, saves you $784 in federal taxes. In addition, you pay no
taxes on any earnings until withdrawal.
It may be a good idea to contact your benefits office as soon as possible
to find out when you can enroll or increase your contribution. Most
employers allow employees to make changes only a few times each year.
Second, consider an IRA. Many people are eligible to make an IRA
contribution (up to $2,000) that is fully tax deductible. That includes
people who are not covered by company pension plans, or those within
certain income brackets. Even if you don't qualify for a fully deductible
contribution, any IRA earnings will grow tax-deferred until withdrawal.
Third, consider adding to your tax-free investments, either municipal bonds
or municipal bond funds. Often these can provide higher after-tax yields
than comparable taxable investments. For example, if you're in the new 36%
federal income tax bracket and invest $10,000 in a taxable investment
yielding 7%, you'll pay $252 in federal taxes and receive $448 in income.
That same $10,000 invested in a tax-free bond fund yielding 5.5% would
allow you to keep $550 in income.

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects the change in a fund's share price
over a given period and reinvestment of its dividends (or income). Yield
measures the income paid by a fund. Since a money market fund tries to
maintain a $1 share price, yield is an important measure of performance. If
Fidelity had not voluntarily reimbursed the fund for expenses during the
periods shown, the total returns would have been lower.

Consumer Price Index 1.17% 2.29% 18.38%
Average Connecticut Tax-Free
Money Market Fund 0.91% 1.83% 16.00%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a set period - in
this case, six months, one year or since the fund started on August 29,
1989. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return
over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. Comparing the fund's
performance to the consumer price index (CPI) helps show how your
investment did compared to inflation. To measure how the fund stacked up
against its peers, you can compare its return to the average Connecticut
tax-free money market fund's total return. This average currently reflects
the performance of 12 Connecticut tax-free money market funds tracked by
IBC/Donoghue. (The periods covered by the CPI and IBC/Donoghue numbers are
the closest available match to those covered by the fund.)

YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual
percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or
compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's
current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. You can
compare these yields to the average tax-free money market fund. Or you can
look at the fund's tax-equivalent yield, which is based on a combined
effective 1994 federal and Connecticut state income tax rate of 38.88% and
reflects that a portion of the fund's income was subject to state taxes.
The tax-equivalent figures are useful in seeing how the fund stacked up
against the average taxable money market fund as tracked by IBC/Donoghue. A
portion of the fund's income may be subject to the alternative minimum tax.
A MONEY MARKET FUND'S TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS WILL VARY, AND REFLECT PAST
RESULTS RATHER THAN PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
COMPARING
PERFORMANCE
Yields on tax-free investments
are usually lower than yields on
taxable investments. However,
a straight comparison between
the two may be misleading
because it ignores the way
taxes reduce taxable returns.
Tax-equivalent yield - the yield
you'd have to earn on a similar
taxable investment to match the
tax-free yield - makes the
comparison more meaningful.
Keep in mind that the U.S.
government neither insures nor
guarantees a money market
fund. In fact, there is no
assurance that a money market
fund will maintain a $1 share
price.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Scott Orr,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Connecticut Municipal Money
Market Portfolio
Q. SCOTT, THERE'S BEEN SOME TURMOIL
IN THE MONEY MARKETS THESE PAST FEW MONTHS. CAN YOU BRING US UP TO DATE?
A. Well, interest rates were actually pretty stable through January. Then
on February 4, 1994, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate
one-quarter percent, reversing three years of actions designed to stimulate
economic growth. The Fed's move took many market participants by surprise.
At the time, the economy was improving and inflation seemed under control.
The Fed, however, was intent on controlling any inflationary trends before
they became a problem. After the initial increase, two more quarter-point
increases followed over the next two months, and finally a half-point
increase in May raised the rate to 4.25%.
Q. HOW DID THAT AFFECT TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS?
A. Initially, very little. Demand typically outpaces supply at the
beginning of the year, and that kept tax-free interest rates from rising as
fast as taxable rates. In April the gap began to narrow, and by May the
relationship between taxable and tax-free interest rates more closely
reflected the maximum tax rate.
Q. STRATEGICALLY, HOW DID YOU COPE WITH CHANGING CONDITIONS?
A. Although I, too, was surprised by the timing of the Fed's move, I had
been preparing for rising interest rates for several months. The fund's
average maturity, an aggressive 76 days at the start of the period last
November, had fallen into the mid 50s by February as the fund added
short-term variable-rate instruments. Those performed well as rates rose.
I was helped, too, by all the new money that flowed into the fund during
the first quarter of the calendar year. Most of this money was invested in
shorter-term securities, which further reduced the fund's average maturity.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. On May 31, 1994, the fund's seven-day yield was 2.22%, up from 1.90% six
months ago. The latest yield is the equivalent to a 3.63% yield on a
taxable investment for Connecticut investors in the 36% federal tax
bracket. The fund's total return for the six months ended May 31 was .96%.
That beat the average total return during the same period for all
Connecticut tax-free money market funds of .91%, according to IBC/Donoghue.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE FUND?
A. I expect that rates will remain stable for at least the next few months.
That's because I don't believe the Fed has been trying to put the brakes on
economic growth so much as remove the stimulus of artificially low rates.
And with the half-point increase in May, that goal, for now, probably has
been achieved. However, if the economy keeps growing, the Fed could decide
to act again as early as this fall. With that in mind, I'll probably aim
for an average maturity within the 45-55 day range.

MONEY MARKETS AND
DERIVATIVES:
The word "derivatives" covers
a wide range of financial
agreements, of varying
degrees of complexity, that
have market values based on
security or market indices. All
"derivative" securities in
Fidelity's money market funds
are designed to have the price
characteristics of typical
money market securities.
During the recent Federal
Reserve Board interest rate
increases, all Fidelity money
market holdings performed as
designed and the funds
maintained a stable share
price of $1.00.
The more complex of these
instruments, such as floating
rate notes with unusual and
complex floating rate
formulas, frequently have too
much price volatility to be
appropriate investments for
money market funds. Many of
them do not offer the degree
of price stability Fidelity
believes is required in order
for its funds to maintain a
stable $1.00 share price.
Therefore, despite their
frequent higher yields at the
time they are sold, Fidelity
has not purchased these
volatile securities. While this
may sometimes have caused
Fidelity money market funds
to have lower gross yields
than certain other funds,
Fidelity believes its investors
value prudence as well as
performance.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1994 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Portfolio (the fund) is a fund
Fidelity Court Street Trust II (the trust) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Delaware business trust. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and
thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned. Accretion
of market discount represents unrealized gain until realized at the time of
a security disposition or maturity.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) receives a monthly fee that is calculated on the
basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to
the average net assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted
average of a series of rates ranging from .15% to .37% and is based on the
monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
annual individual fund fee rate is .25%. For the period, the management fee
was equivalent to an annual rate of .41% of average net assets.
The Board of Trustees approved a new group fee rate schedule with rates
ranging from .1325% to 3700%. Effective, November 1, 1993, FMR has
voluntarily agreed to implement this new group fee rate schedule as it
results in the same or a lower management fee.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the fund's investment sub-adviser, FMR Texas Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the
management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any voluntary
expense reimbursements which may be in effect,

SUB-ADVISER FEE - CONTINUED
and after reducing the fee for any payments by FMR pursuant to the fund's
Distribution and Service Plan.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plan (the Plan), and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, FMR or
the fund's distributor, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an
affiliate of FMR, may use their resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plan also authorizes payments to
third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render
shareholder support services. FMR or FDC has informed the fund that
payments made to third parties under the Plan amounted to $12,690 for the
period.
TRANSFER AGENT AND ACCOUNTING FEES. United Missouri Bank, N.A. (the Bank)
is the custodian and transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the fund.
The Bank has entered into a sub-contract with Fidelity Service Co. (FSC),
an affiliate of FMR, under which FSC performs the activities associated
with the fund's transfer and shareholder servicing agent and accounting
functions. The fund pays transfer agent fees based on the type, size,
number of accounts and number of transactions made by shareholders. FSC
pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. The accounting fee is based on the level of
average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses. For the
period, FSC received transfer agent and accounting fees amounting to
$245,934 and $32,301, respectively.
Shareholders participating in the Fidelity Ultra Service Account(Registered
trademark) Program (the Program) pay a $5.00 monthly fee to Fidelity
Brokerage Services, Inc. (FBSI), an affiliate of FMR, for performing
services associated with the Program. For the period, fees paid to FBSI by
shareholders participating in the Program amounted to $12,310.
