PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The year so far has been an unsettling time for many investors. For
example, after three years of a nearly perfect environment for stock market
investing, stock prices generally fell from February through June, and bond
prices fell, as well. Although there was a late-summer stock rally,
volatility continued into the fourth quarter and no one can know for sure
what will happen in the months ahead.
We do know, however, that market ups and downs are a normal part of
investing. We have historically seen corrections of 10% or more every two
years. That's why I thought this might be a good time to review three basic
investment principles that have proven helpful to successful investors in
every market cycle.
First, take a long-term approach when investing. If you can afford to leave
your money invested through the inevitable ups and downs of financial
markets, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline.
Over time, for example, stock prices have gone up - and have significantly
outperformed other types of investments and stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage risk by diversifying your investments. A
stock mutual fund is already diversified, because it invests in many
different companies. You can increase your diversification by investing in
a number of different stock funds, or in different investment categories,
such as bonds. You should also keep money you'll need in the near future in
a more stable investment.
Finally, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing
a set amount of money at the same time each month or quarter. That way, you
can avoid getting caught up in the excitement of a rapidly-rising market -
and won't end up buying all your shares at market highs. This strategy
won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, but
it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. For this to be
effective, you must continue to buy shares in both up and down markets.
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.SM
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
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 2.81% 19.06% 28.67%

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period
- - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund started on March
17, 1988. 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 New Jersey
tax-free money market fund's total return. This average currently reflects
the performance of 11 New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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 state income tax rate of 40.26%. 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. And there is no
assurance that a money fund
will maintain a $1 share price.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Scott Orr, Portfolio
Manager of Fidelity New Jersey
Tax-Free Money Market Portfolio
Q. SCOTT, INTEREST RATES HAVE CONTINUED TO RISE SINCE THE LAST REPORT. CAN
YOU TELL US ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT YOU'VE BEEN OPERATING IN?
A. Sure. In the last report, we talked about the quarter-point rate
increases that occurred in February, March and April and the half-point
increase in May. Since then, the Federal Reserve Board's strategy has
remained the same - to slow the pace of economic growth. By increasing the
federal funds rate - or the rate banks charge each other for overnight
loans - the Fed has made some tactical changes in monetary policy. Recent
rate increases have been both less frequent and more dramatic. Accordingly,
after two months of inactivity, we saw a second half-point increase in
August and a three-quarter-point increase in November. By the end of
November, the federal funds rate stood at 5.50%, up sharply from 3% a year
ago.
Q. WHAT STEPS HAVE YOU TAKEN TO MAXIMIZE RETURNS IN THE FACE OF RISING
INTEREST RATES?
A. The simple answer is that I've shortened the fund's average maturity.
When rates are rising, it usually doesn't make sense to emphasize
longer-term securities; it's better to buy shorter-term instruments and let
the fund's yield rise with current rates. That's why the fund's average
maturity was 62 days at the end of November, down from 75 days a year ago.
Q. THE FUND'S AVERAGE MATURITY BOTTOMED OUT IN THE 30S EARLIER IN THE YEAR.
IF RATES ARE STILL RISING, WHY IS THE FUND'S AVERAGE MATURITY LONGER NOW
THAN IT WAS THEN?
A. It's fair to say that in a rising-rate environment, normally I'd be
looking for ways to shorten the fund's average maturity by adding variable
rate demand notes (VRDNs) - short-term securities whose yields rise with
the market. But demand for VRDNs has risen lately to the point where
they've lost a lot of their appeal. Instead, I've been buying more
fixed-rate securities with attractive yields that take into account the
likelihood of future rate increases. That strategy has lengthened the
fund's average maturity.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund's seven-day yield on November 30, 1994 was 3.09%, up from 1.89%
a year ago. The latest yield is equivalent to a 5.17% yield on a taxable
investment for investors in New Jersey's 40.26% combined federal and state
tax bracket. The fund's total return for the year ended November 30, 1994
was 2.19%. That matched the total return of 2.19% for the average New
Jersey tax-free money market fund, according to IBC/Donoghue.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD?
A. I found it reassuring that the last rate increase in November was higher
than expected. That may give us a little breathing room before rates go up
again. Chances are excellent, however, that rates will resume climbing soon
- - I think possibly to as high as 7.5% by the end of 1995 as the Fed seeks
to meet its goal of 2.5% overall economic growth. Accordingly, I'll try to
preserve the fund's flexibility with an average maturity that will probably
vary between 45 and 60 days in the months ahead.

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
money market funds have 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 November 30, 1994
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity New Jersey Tax-Free Money Market Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of
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 each 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 each fund. The group fee rate is the weighted
average of a series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets
of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .1325% to
.3700% for the period December 1, 1993 to July 31, 1994 and .1200% to
.3700% for the period August 1, 1994 to November 30, 1994 for the fund. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect
during those periods, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they
resulted in the same or a lower management fee. 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.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the fund's investment sub-adviser, FMR Texas Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of FMR,
2. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SUB-ADVISER FEE - CONTINUED
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
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 $75,704 for the
period.
TRANSFER AGENT 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 $676,483 and $80,653, 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 $63,969.

Fidelity
New Jersey Tax-Free Money Market
Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of

highlights are the responsibility of the fund's management. Our

financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of November 30, 1994 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Fidelity Court Street Trust II: Fidelity New Jersey Tax-Free Money
Market Portfolio as of November 30, 1994, the results of its operations for
the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The year so far has been an unsettling time for many investors. For
example, after three years of a nearly perfect environment for stock market
investing, stock prices generally fell from February through June, and bond
prices fell, as well. Although there was a late-summer stock rally,
volatility continued into the fourth quarter and no one can know for sure
what will happen in the months ahead.
We do know, however, that market ups and downs are a normal part of
investing. We have historically seen corrections of 10% or more every two
years. That's why I thought this might be a good time to review three basic
investment principles that have proven helpful to successful investors in
every market cycle.
First, take a long-term approach when investing. If you can afford to leave
your money invested through the inevitable ups and downs of financial
markets, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline.
Over time, for example, stock prices have gone up - and have significantly
outperformed other types of investments and stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage risk by diversifying your investments. A
stock mutual fund is already diversified, because it invests in many
different companies. You can increase your diversification by investing in
a number of different stock funds, or in different investment categories,
such as bonds. You should also keep money you'll need in the near future in
a more stable investment.
Finally, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing
a set amount of money at the same time each month or quarter. That way, you
can avoid getting caught up in the excitement of a rapidly-rising market -
and won't end up buying all your shares at market highs. This strategy
won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, but
it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. For this to be
effective, you must continue to buy shares in both up and down markets.
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.SM
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
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.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period
- - in this case, one year, five years 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 Connecticut 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 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
Tax-Free Money Market Portfolio
Q. SCOTT, RISING INTEREST RATES HAVE CHANGED THE INVESTMENT CLIMATE
DRAMATICALLY DURING THE PAST YEAR. CAN YOU SUMMARIZE THE MAJOR
DEVELOPMENTS?
A. Sure. The Federal Reserve Board has raised the federal funds rate - what
banks charge each other for overnight loans - six times since the last
annual report. The first three increases - in February, March and April -
were a quarter-point each. Then there were two half-point increases in May
and August, followed by a three-quarter-point jump in November. The trend
lately, which I welcome, has been toward larger increases, more widely
spaced. By the end of November, the federal funds rate stood at 5.50%, up
sharply from 3% a year ago.
Q. WHAT STEPS HAVE YOU TAKEN TO MAXIMIZE RETURNS IN THE FACE OF RISING
INTEREST RATES?
A. The simple answer is that I've shortened the fund's average maturity.
When rates are rising, it usually doesn't make sense to emphasize
longer-term securities; it's better to buy shorter-term instruments and let
the fund's yield rise with current rates. That's why the fund's average
maturity was 65 days at the end of November, down from 76 days a year ago.
Q. THE FUND'S AVERAGE MATURITY BOTTOMED OUT IN THE 30S EARLIER IN THE YEAR.
IF RATES ARE STILL RISING, WHY IS THE FUND'S AVERAGE MATURITY LONGER NOW
THAN IT WAS THEN?
A. It's fair to say that in a rising-rate environment, normally I'd be
looking for ways to shorten the fund's average maturity by adding variable
rate demand notes (VRDNs) - short-term securities whose yields rise with
the market. But demand for VRDNs has risen lately to the point where
they've lost a lot of their appeal. Instead, I've been buying more
fixed-rate securities that have attractive yields which reflect the
likelihood of future rate increases. That strategy has lengthened the
fund's average maturity.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund's seven-day yield on November 30, 1994 was 3.10%, up from 1.90%
a year ago. The latest yield is equivalent to a 5.07% yield on a taxable
investment for investors in Connecticut's 38.88% combined federal and state
tax bracket. The fund's total return for the year ended November 30, 1994
was 2.19%. That beat the average total return of 2.08% for all Connecticut
tax-free money market funds, according to IBC/Donoghue.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD?
A. I found it reassuring that the last rate increase in November was higher
than expected. In my view, that may give us a little breathing room before
rates go up again. I think chances are excellent, however, that eventually
rates will resume climbing soon - possibly to as high as 7.5% by the end of
1995 as the Fed seeks to meet its goal of 2.5% overall economic growth.
Accordingly, I'll try to preserve the fund's flexibility with an average
maturity that will probably vary between 45 and 60 days in the months
ahead.

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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market is a fund of 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.
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 and is based on the monthly average net assets
of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .1325% to
.3700% for the period December 1, 1993 to July 31, 1994 and .1200% to
.3700% for the period August 1, 1994 to November 30, 1994. In the event
that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during
those periods, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they
resulted in the same or a lower management fee. 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.
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
2. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SUB-ADVISER FEE - CONTINUED
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
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 $25,371 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
$471,992 and $64,843, 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 $24,865.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The unsettling period that began for bond investors when the Federal
Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates in February has continued
into the fourth quarter of 1994. The Board raised the federal funds rate -
the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans - five times from
February through August, taking it from 3.00% to 4.75%. A sixth increase in
November lifted the rate to 5.50%. The Fed rate hikes were intended to
forestall inflation that could result from an improving U.S. economy, and
they led to negative returns for many bond investments and below-average
returns for many stocks.
The volatility we have witnessed this year follows a period in which there
was a nearly perfect investing environment. Although there was a
late-summer rally in stocks and, to a lesser extent in bond markets, it is
impossible to predict where interest rates might go or what might happen in
the markets in the months ahead. That's why it probably is a good time to
again review your investment portfolio and how well it matches your goals.
Keeping in mind that the negative effects of rising rates on your bond
investments will only be "paper" losses unless you sell your shares,
staying in your bond fund may be appropriate. The longer your investing
time frame, the more likely it is that you will retain your principal
investment through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time
frame, such as saving for a college education, enables you to weather these
ups and downs in a long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An
intermediate-length fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is
two to four years, and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if
you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. As with any mutual fund, of course, there is no assurance that
a money market fund will achieve its goal, and money market funds are not
insured by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically, as we have discussed here. A periodic investment
plan will not, of course, assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
SPARTAN FLORIDA MUNICIPAL INCOME PORTFOLIO
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,
dividends and yields would have been lower.

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 Florida municipal bond fund, which
currently reflects the performance of 48 Florida tax-exempt municipal bond
funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. Both benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan
Florida Municipal Income Portfolio on March 31, 1992, shortly after the
fund started. As the chart shows, by November 30, 1994, the value of your
investment would have grown to $11,530 - a 15.30% increase on your initial
investment. This assumes you still own the fund on November 30, 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 $11,306- a 13.06% 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.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Sharply rising interest rates and
ongoing inflation worries caused a
severe downturn in U.S. bond
markets in 1994. Yields rose
sharply - and prices fell - on
taxable and tax-free bonds alike.
For the 12 months ended
November 30, 1994, the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a
broad measure of the tax-free
market - had a total return of
- -5.25%. By comparison, the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index - a proxy of
investment-grade taxable bonds -
returned -3.06%. After interest
rates remained low and relatively
steady in December 1993 and
January 1994, the rate
environment changed dramatically.
The Federal Reserve Board raised
the federal funds rate - the rate
banks charge each other for
overnight loans - from 3.00% to
5.50% from February through
November. The Fed was hoping to
head off future inflation that might
be triggered by an improving U.S.
economy. However, investors
heavily sold bonds at the very
threat of inflation because inflation
diminishes the value of their
fixed-rate income payments. Two
other influences affected the
performance of tax-free bonds,
specifically. First, investor demand
fell due to inflation worries, which
dampened prices. Second,
although it didn't outweigh the
negative effects of lower demand,
the supply of tax-free bonds fell as
well. The ability of states, cities and
public agencies to refinance
outstanding debt at lower, more
attractive rates was limited amid a
rising rate environment.
An interview with Anne Punzak,
Portfolio Manager of Spartan Florida
Municipal Income Portfolio
Q. ANNE, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. Rising interest rates made for a very volatile year for the municipal
bond market and for the fund, but the fund continued to hold up better than
many of its competitors. The fund's total return for the 12 months ending
November 30, 1994, was -7.20%. That was better than the average Florida
municipal fund which returned -8.45% for the year ended November 30, 1994,
according to Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. YOU MENTIONED THAT IT WAS AN UNSTABLE PERIOD. HOW DID YOU MODIFY YOUR
STRATEGY TO HELP PROTECT THE FUND FROM THAT VOLATILITY?
A. In the fall of 1993, I moved some of the fund's investments out of bonds
with longer-term maturities of 20 years or more, and into bonds with
intermediate maturities in the 10- to 20-year range. Longer-term bonds made
up 42% of investments at the end of November 1994, down from 52% a year
earlier. Intermediate bonds, on the other hand, rose to about 50% of
investments by the end of November, up from about 40% a year earlier.
Q. DID THAT STRATEGY ALSO HELP THE FUND DO BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE FLORIDA
FUND?
A. Yes. By making the switch from long-term to intermediate-term bonds, the
fund's duration - which is a measure of its sensitivity to changes in
interest rates - remained relatively short. The shorter the fund's
duration, the less sensitive its share price is to changing interest rates.
In hindsight, had the fund's duration been even shorter, its performance
would have been better. However, I didn't anticipate just how concerned the
Federal Reserve Board and investors would remain about the prospect of
inflation spiraling out of control, and underestimated the effects that
nervousness would have on interest rates and the municipal market. Until
I'm confident that the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes have slowed
the pace of economic growth and kept inflation in check, I'll most likely
continue to keep the fund's duration at about the same level. Another
factor which helped the fund's performance was its stake in Baa-rated and
below investment-grade bonds. These bonds made up 43.2% of investments at
the end of the period. Because of their high yields, lower-rated bonds
generally held up better than higher-rated bonds during the market's
decline.
Q. DID ANY OF THE FUND'S OTHER INVESTMENTS HOLD UP RELATIVELY WELL DURING
THE DOWN DRAFT?
A. Yes, the fund's stake in Puerto Rico bonds, which stood at 12.9% of
investments as of November 30, 1994, held up fairly well. There was a
healthy demand for these bonds which helped firm their prices. The demand
was high because Puerto Rico bonds are exempt from state and federal taxes
in all 50 states. When shortages of municipal bonds crept up in high-tax
states, many investors used Puerto Rico bonds as a substitute for
state-issued bonds to generate income free from state and federal taxes.
Q. AFTER THE PERIOD ENDED, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, DECLARED BANKRUPTCY
BECAUSE OF LOSSES IN ITS INVESTMENT FUND. ARE THERE FLORIDA MUNICIPALITIES
EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS?
A. None of the same magnitude or the same type that we are aware of at this
time. The state of Florida recently revealed that some of its investments
had suffered price declines, and caused unrealized losses for one of the
state's treasury funds. But there are several important differences between
the Florida and California situations. First, the price declines were much
smaller on both an absolute and relative basis; about $200 million from the
$8 billion Florida treasury fund, compared to nearly $3 billion in Orange
County. Second, Orange County used leverage, or borrowed, money to buy many
of its investments. That leverage, in turn, exacerbated its losses. From
what we know now, most Florida municipalities have taken a more
conservative approach and haven't depended heavily on leverage. Finally,
Florida's unrealized losses aren't expected to cause the state to be
illiquid, like Orange County ultimately became. With the help of Fidelity's
research staff, I'll continue to closely monitor the situation.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR MUNICIPAL BONDS?
A. For the short term, there probably will be some continued volatility. I
believe it's likely that the Fed will raise interest rates one or two more
times in an effort to stave off inflation that would normally accompany a
quickly growing economy. For the long term, I'm more optimistic. By spring,
I think that economic growth will slow and inflation won't be a problem. If
that is the case, interest rates could start to fall and municipal bond
prices could begin to rise. A one percent rise in long-term interest rates
is not likely to have as negative consequences for bonds in 1995 as it did
in 1994. For example, if the yield on a high quality 30-year municipal bond
rose from 7% to 8%, that bond's total return for the year would be about
- -4%. On the other hand, a drop in yield from 7% to 6% would mean a total
return of about 15% for the year. So in my view, the downside risk for the
municipal bond market is limited and the upside potential is good.

ANNE PUNZAK'S OUTLOOK FOR
FLORIDA MUNICIPAL BONDS:
"Over the past 12 months,
higher interest rates have
been the dominant factor
affecting Florida municipal
bond prices. But if interest
rates start to stabilize, there
are some positives which
could work in favor of these
bonds. First, the state's fiscal
condition and economy are
strong. On the fiscal side, the
state has a relatively low level
of debt and the legislature
mandates a balanced budget.
On the economic front,
Florida has diversified its
economy and has started to
enjoy benefits from increased
trade with Latin and South
America. Second, supply and
demand factors also could be
a positive. The supply of
municipals could be rather
light next year. And demand
should remain strong. Lower
supply and constant demand
also could help boost prices."

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.

Average All Tax-Free
Money Market Fund 2.25% 4.90%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period
- - in this case, one year, or since the fund started on August 24,1992. 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 all tax-free money market
fund's total return. This average currently reflects the performance of 372
all 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. This
would have been lower if Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses.
You can compare these yields to the average all 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 tax rate of 36%. 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 fund
will maintain a $1 share price.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Deborah Watson, Portfolio Manager of Spartan Florida
Municipal Money Market Portfolio.
Q. DEB, CAN YOU FILL US IN ON THE CHANGES IN THE MONEY MARKETS DURING THE
PAST YEAR?
A. Interest rates have climbed sharply during the period. Early this year,
the Federal Reserve Board determined that economic growth had begun to
accelerate. I anticipated that by the end of the first quarter, the Fed
might begin to increase short-term interest rates to rein in that growth
and prevent a resurgence of inflation. The first rate increase came even
sooner than I expected, on February 4, 1994, when the Fed raised the
federal funds rate by one-quarter point, from 3.00% to 3.25%. Since then,
the Fed has boosted the rate five more times to 5.50%, including the recent
three-quarter point increase in November. As a result, yields on short-term
instruments have climbed as well.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY DURING THE PERIOD?
A. Although I was surprised by the timing of the Fed's initial rate
increase, I had been preparing the fund for rates to move higher. The
fund's average maturity was 66 days at the end of November 1993. I let the
fund's average maturity roll down to 22 days by the end of May. In July,
the seasonal onslaught of borrowing by municipal issuers created an
increase in the supply of short-term issues, which drove yields higher. I
took advantage of that opportunity to lock in higher yields on some longer
securities, so the fund's average maturity rose to 32 days. By the end of
September, it had declined again, and was less than 30 days for the
remainder of the period.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. On November 30, 1994, the fund's seven-day yield was 3.31%, up from
2.60% six months ago. The latest yield is the equivalent of a 5.17% yield
on a taxable investment for investors in the 36% federal income tax
bracket. The fund's total return for the 12 months ended November 30 was
2.46%. That beat the 2.25% average total return for all tax-free money
market funds during the same period, according to IBC/Donoghue.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE FUND?
A. The fund's assets will likely swell toward the end of this calendar year
as investors seek shelter from Florida's intangibles tax. Probably the bulk
of the new money will be invested in short-term variable-rate securities to
maintain the fund's low average maturity and liquidity since assets will
likely decrease in January. It seems likely that short-term rates will
continue to move higher during the coming months as the Fed continues to
attempt to restrain inflationary pressures. Thus, for the most part I
anticipate avoiding securities with relatively long maturities for now.

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
money market funds have 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 November 30, 1994
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan Florida Municipal Income Portfolio(the income fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Court Street Trust. Spartan Florida 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 income fund and the money market fund:
SECURITY VALUATION.
INCOME 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 of their purchase date 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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -
CONTINUED
These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses
deferred due to futures and options transactions. The income 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 income fund 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 the beginning of the fiscal year have been
reclassified to reflect an increase in paid in capital and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $12,445. No adjustments
were necessary for the money market fund.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the income 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.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The income fund may invest in futures and
options contracts, and may also 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, as reflected in the schedule of investments under the
caption "Futures Contracts" reflect the extent of the involvement the
income 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.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $188,558,050 and $228,109,683, respectively. The face value of
futures contracts opened and closed amounted to $228,761,571 and
$216,769,051, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (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 income and money market funds, respectively.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to each fund. To
offset the cost of providing these services, FMR or its affiliates
collected certain transaction fees from shareholders which amounted to
$6,860 and $5,246 for the income 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.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the funds for total operating
expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and
extraordinary expenses) above a specified percentage of average net assets.
INCOME FUND. For the period, this expense limitation ranged from an annual
rate of .45% to .55% of average net assets and the reimbursement amounted
to $55,208.
MONEY MARKET FUND. For the period, this expense limitation ranged from an
annual rate of .40% to .50% of average net assets and the reimbursement
amounted to $159,576.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The unsettling period that began for bond investors when the Federal
Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates in February has continued
into the fourth quarter of 1994. The Board raised the federal funds rate -
the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans - five times from
February through August, taking it from 3.00% to 4.75%. A sixth increase in
November lifted the rate to 5.50%. The Fed rate hikes were intended to
forestall inflation that could result from an improving U.S. economy, and
they led to negative returns for many bond investments and below-average
returns for many stocks.
The volatility we have witnessed this year follows a period in which there
was a nearly perfect investing environment. Although there was a
late-summer rally in stocks and, to a lesser extent in bond markets, it is
impossible to predict where interest rates might go or what might happen in
the markets in the months ahead. That's why it probably is a good time to
again review your investment portfolio and how well it matches your goals.
Keeping in mind that the negative effects of rising rates on your bond
investments will only be "paper" losses unless you sell your shares,
staying in your bond fund may be appropriate. The longer your investing
time frame, the more likely it is that you will retain your principal
investment through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time
frame, such as saving for a college education, enables you to weather these
ups and downs in a long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An
intermediate-length fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is
two to four years, and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if
you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. As with any mutual fund, of course, there is no assurance that
a money market fund will achieve its goal, and money market funds are not
insured by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically, as we have discussed here. A periodic investment
plan will not, of course, assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
SPARTAN CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL HIGH YIELD PORTFOLIO
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
PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1994 PAST 1 PAST 5 LIFE OF
YEAR YEARS FUND
Spartan Connecticut Municipal
High Yield Portfolio -7.62% 31.36% 62.16%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index -5.25% 37.52% n/a
Average Connecticut Tax-exempt
Municipal Bond Fund -7.65% 33.45% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.81% 19.06% 30.01%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period
- - in this case, 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 currently 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 (CPI) helps
show how your fund did compared to inflation. (The periods covered by the
CPI numbers are the closest available match to these covered by the fund.)

$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 November 30, 1994, the value
of your investment would have grown to $16,273 - a 62.73% increase on your
initial investment. This assumes you still own the fund on November 30, 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 $17,334 - a 73.34% 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.

DIVIDEND returns and capital appreciation returns are both part of a bond
fund's total return. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid
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.

you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $9.96 over

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

on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 38.88% combined federal and state tax bracket.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Sharply rising interest rates and
ongoing inflation worries caused a
severe downturn in U.S. bond
markets in 1994. Yields rose
sharply - and prices fell - on
taxable and tax-free bonds alike.
For the 12 months ended
November 30, 1994, the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a
broad measure of the tax-free
market - had a total return of
- -5.25%. By comparison, the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index - a proxy of
investment-grade taxable bonds -
returned -3.06%. After interest
rates remained low and relatively
steady in December 1993 and
January 1994, the rate
environment changed dramatically.
The Federal Reserve Board raised
the federal funds rate - the rate
banks charge each other for
overnight loans - from 3.00% to
5.50% from February through
November. The Fed was hoping to
head off future inflation that might
be triggered by an improving U.S.
economy. However, investors
heavily sold bonds at the very
threat of inflation because inflation
diminishes the value of their
fixed-rate income payments. Two
other influences affected the
performance of tax-free bonds,
specifically. First, investor demand
fell due to inflation worries, which
dampened prices. Second,
although it didn't outweigh the
negative effects of lower demand,
the supply of tax-free bonds fell as
well. The ability of states, cities and
public agencies to refinance
outstanding debt at lower, more
attractive rates was limited amid a
rising rate environment.
An interview with Maureen Newman,
Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Connecticut Municipal High Yield
Portfolio
Q. MAUREEN, HOW HAS THE FUND
PERFORMED?
A. For the year ended November 30, 1994, the fund had a total return of
- -7.62%. The average Connecticut municipal fund returned -7.65% for the same
period, according to Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE FACTORS THAT CREATED SUCH A NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENT?
A. The Federal Reserve Board increased the federal funds rate - the
interest banks charge each other for overnight loans - six times from
February through November 30. The outlook in February was that the economy
was improving, but that inflation - the usual result of rapid economic
growth and a negative for bond investors because it diminishes the value of
fixed-income payments - was not going to be a problem. Although some may
have applauded the Fed's vigilance at trying to check inflation, the Fed's
move kindled inflation fears, sparking a severe drop in price in all bond
markets.
Q. SO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE IN RESPONSE?
A. I have reduced the fund's duration, which lowers its sensitivity to
changes in comparable interest rates. I did so by using derivative
instruments called futures - which are widely employed for this purpose -
and by buying lower duration bonds. I don't like to increase the fund's
cash position to manage duration, because it reduces the income of the fund
and because the limited supply of Connecticut issues can make it difficult
to replace bonds later. The futures are held as a hedge against rising
interest rates, allowing me to manage duration without selling bonds.
Q. DOES THE FUND USE OTHER DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS?
A. Yes, less than 3% of the fund is invested in inverse floaters - whose
yields rise as short-term rates fall, and vice versa. Using this type of
derivative can help me to achieve higher levels of tax-exempt income and
increased flexibility in managing the actual sensitivity to changes in
interest rates. These investments act like very long-term bonds,
effectively increasing a fund's duration, which is good in a falling
interest rate environment but can hurt the fund when interest rates rise.
That means that this year, with the Fed tightening, the fund's investment
in inverse floaters have hurt the fund's performance somewhat. Going
forward, I plan to link these investments to money market instruments
created at the same time by the same issuer. When linked together, they
perform like normal fixed-rate bonds with reduced interest rate
sensitivity.
Q. HEALTH CARE REMAINS THE FUND'S TOP SECTOR. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK THERE?
A. Although I'm comfortable with the specific holdings in the health care
sector, in the long run I'll be working to reduce the fund's overall
exposure there, because of continuing changes in the health care
environment. I will accomplish this reduction in the fund's exposure to
health care only as other high income opportunities arise. Another top
sector in the fund is special tax bonds, securities linked to taxes such as
those levied on motor vehicles or liquor. This is an area where credit
remains strong.
Q. AFTER THE PERIOD ENDED, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA DECLARED BANKRUPTCY
BECAUSE OF LOSSES IN ITS INVESTMENT FUND. ARE THERE CONNECTICUT
MUNICIPALITIES EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS?
A. None that we are aware of at this time. The State of Connecticut issued
an announcement stating that it on occasion purchases derivatives for
short-term investments, but that it has never used them for speculation.
The state added that it owned no such instruments at the time of the
announcement, and that it has not purchased derivatives using leverage, or
borrowed money, as Orange County did. From what we know now, Connecticut
municipalities have been even more conservative in their investments. As
far as the general muni market is concerned, Orange County caused a
temporary disruption, but the market bounced back as it sorted out the
issues. I don't expect the Orange County problem to have any significant
impact on the Connecticut market over the long term. With the help of
Fidelity's research staff, I'll continue to monitor the situation closely.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. In my view, interest rates probably will be more stable in 1995 than
they were in 1994. If I am correct, it's likely that bond prices will be
more stable as well. In that type of environment, the fund's total return
should be less dependent on bond price changes and more dependent on the
level of income the bonds pay. So to help boost the fund's total return,
I'll concentrate on pursuing a higher income for the fund. I'll do that
primarily by seeking opportunities in higher-yielding, lower-rated bonds.
Fidelity's research staff is one of the largest in the industry and has
expertise in finding high-yielding bonds that pay enough income to
compensate for the added risk that comes with a lower credit quality.

MAUREEN NEWMAN ON
INVESTMENT STRATEGY:
"I start with fundamental
research - checking
investment options issuer by
issuer - to come up with
investment ideas relating to
changes in credit quality. I try
to stay ahead of the market
and the rating agencies,
looking for quality trends
before they happen, in order
to buy into good situations on
their way up and to get out of
securities before the market
realizes potential problems.
Diversification is also a key,
as I try to keep a good mix of
coupons and maturities in the
fund which can reduce the
overall volatility of the fund."
(solid bullet) There has been a limited
supply of new bonds in
Connecticut, partially due to a
lack of activity in the state's
economy. The state still has
not recovered from cutbacks
in the defense and insurance
industries. There also has
been some credit
deterioration in the state in
general because of this
slow-down.

Newman became the fund

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.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period
- - in this case, 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 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 Spartan
Connecticut Municipal Money
Market Portfolio
Q. SCOTT, RISING INTEREST RATES HAVE CHANGED THE INVESTMENT CLIMATE
DRAMATICALLY DURING THE PAST YEAR. CAN YOU SUMMARIZE THE MAJOR
DEVELOPMENTS?
A. Sure. The Federal Reserve Board has raised the federal funds rate - what
banks charge each other for overnight loans - six times since the last
annual report. The first three increases - in February, March and April -
were a quarter-point each. Then there were two half-point increases in May
and August, followed by a three-quarter-point jump in November. The trend
lately has been toward larger increases, more widely spaced. By the end of
November, the federal funds rate stood at 5.50%, up sharply from 3% a year
ago.
Q. WHAT STEPS HAVE YOU TAKEN TO MAXIMIZE RETURNS IN THE FACE OF RISING
INTEREST RATES?
A. The simple answer is that I've shortened the fund's average maturity.
When rates are rising, it usually doesn't make sense to emphasize
longer-term securities; it's better to buy shorter-term instruments and let
the fund's yield rise with current rates. That's why the fund's average
maturity was 68 days at the end of November, down from 72 days a year ago.
Q. THE FUND'S AVERAGE MATURITY BOTTOMED OUT IN THE 30S EARLIER IN THE YEAR.
IF RATES ARE STILL RISING, WHY IS THE FUND'S AVERAGE MATURITY LONGER NOW
THAN IT WAS THEN?
A. It's fair to say that in a rising-rate environment, normally I'd be
looking for ways to shorten the fund's average maturity by adding variable
rate demand notes (VRDNs) - short-term securities whose yields rise with
the market. But demand for VRDNs has risen lately to the point where
they've lost a lot of their appeal. Instead, I've been buying more
fixed-rate securities that have attractive yields which reflect the
likelihood of future rate increases. That strategy has lengthened the
fund's average maturity.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund's seven-day yield on November 30, 1994 was 3.24%, up from 1.96%
a year ago. The latest yield is equivalent to a 5.27% yield on a taxable
investment for investors in Connecticut's 38.88% combined federal and state
tax bracket. The fund's total return for the year ended November 30, 1994,
was 2.27%. That beat the average total return of 2.08% for all Connecticut
tax-free money market funds, according to IBC/Donoghue.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD?
A. I found it reassuring that the last rate increase in November was higher
than expected. In my view, that may give us a little breathing room before
rates go up again. I think chances are excellent, however, that eventually
rates will resume climbing - possibly to as high as 7.5% as the Fed seeks
to meet its goal of 2.5% overall economic growth. Accordingly, I'll try to
preserve the fund's flexibility with an average maturity that will probably
vary between 45 and 60 days in the months ahead.

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 November 30, 1994
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 of their purchase date 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
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -
CONTINUED
due to differing treatments for futures and options transactions 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.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the high yield 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.
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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The high yield fund may invest in futures
and options contracts, and may also 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, as reflected in the schedule of investments under the
caption "Futures Contracts," 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 $40,123,361 and
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED
HIGH YIELD FUND - CONTINUED
$129,295,692, respectively. The market value of futures contracts opened
and closed during the period amounted to $235,896,944 and $225,739,146,
respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) pays all expenses, including the cost of providing
shareholder services, 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.
To offset the cost of providing shareholder services, FMR or its
affiliates collect certain transaction fees from the fund's shareholders.
For the period, fees collected from shareholders amounted to $7,842 and
$4,274 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 $2,939 for the high yield fund
and no payments were made for the money market fund for the period.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Court Street Trust and Fidelity Court Street
Trust II and the Shareholders of Spartan Connecticut Municipal High Yield
Portfolio and Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money
Market Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Spartan Connecticut Municipal High Yield Portfolio, a portfolio of Fidelity
Court Street Trust, and Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market
Portfolio, a portfolio of Fidelity Court Street Trust II including the
schedules of portfolio investments, as of November 30, 1994, the related
statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes
in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended
for the Spartan Connecticut Municipal High Yield Portfolio, and the
financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended
and for the period March 4, 1991 (commencement of operations) to November
30, 1991 for the Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market Portfolio.
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility
of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of November 30, 1994 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Spartan Connecticut Municipal High Yield Portfolio and Spartan
Connecticut Municipal Money Market Portfolio as of November 30, 1994, the
results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their
net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended
for the Spartan Connecticut Municipal High Yield Portfolio, and the
financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended
and for the period March 4, 1991 (commencement of operations) to November
30, 1991 for the Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market Portfolio, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
