A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
Although the six months ended February 28, 1995 were difficult for most
financial markets, short-term investments did quite well. In fact, this was one
of very few times in the history of the financial markets in which cash
equivalent investments outperformed longer term securities. Investors in money
market instruments enjoyed correspondingly higher yields as tighter monetary
policy caused interest rates to rise in a stronger-than-expected economy.
Throughout the period, the U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio's investment
adviser, Citibank, N.A., managed the Portfolio in a manner consistent with the
objective stated in the Fund's prospectus: providing liquidity and as high a
level of current income from U.S. Government obligations as is consistent with
the preservation of capital. Through its investment in the U.S. Treasury
Reserves Portfolio, the Fund seeks to offer an attractive yield by investing in
a high-quality investment portfolio consisting exclusively of securities backed
by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury.
This Semi-Annual Report reviews the Fund and Portfolio's investment
activities and performance over the past six months, and provides a summary of
Citibank's perspective on the financial markets and outlook for the foreseeable
future. On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Landmark Funds, I want to
thank our shareholders for their participation and support. We look forward to
serving you in the months and years ahead.
/s/ Philip W. Coolidge

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
On February 4, 1994, the Federal Reserve Board began to raise short-term
interest rates in order to slow the growth of the U.S. economy and forestall an
acceleration of inflation. By the end of February, 1995, the results of their
efforts had begun to take effect. As of this writing, the inflation rate remains
stable, the economy appears to be slowing and long-term interest rates, which
often reflect investors' confidence in fiscal and monetary policy, are
moderating from their 1994 highs.
The road to this relatively positive state of economic affairs, however,
was a rocky one. Six months ago, the economy was growing faster than its
productive capacity despite five consecutive increases in the federal funds
rate. Fixed-income investors remained concerned about the potential for a
resurgence of inflation, causing most long-term bond prices to fall sharply. In
response to these concerns, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates
twice more--three-quarters of a percentage point in November and one-half of a
point in February--for a total of seven increases since February 4, 1994.
Although higher short-term interest rates put pressure on the prices of
longer term fixed-income securities, they had a positive effect on short-term,
cash equivalent investments.

THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER RESPONDS
Although Citibank fully expected the Federal Reserve to tighten monetary
policy further during the six-month period, we felt that investors had already
incorporated higher interest rates into the marketplace. Consequently, we held
the Portfolio's average maturity toward the long end of its range. This strategy
enabled us to lock in relatively high yielding securities and earn higher
returns for our shareholders.
Our decision to maintain a relatively long average maturity is based in
large part on the differences in yields among short-term U.S. Treasury
securities of varying maturities. A steep "yield curve" is often characteristic
of the middle stages of the economic cycle in which interest rates at the longer
end of the spectrum are rising faster than rates at the shorter end. As the
economic cycle progresses further, the yield curve typically flattens. By
locking in higher yielding securities before this flattening effect takes
effect, we have been able to produce higher returns for a longer period. Indeed,
at the end of the six-month period, we began to see some evidence of a flatter
yield curve within our maturity range.
The Board of Trustees of the Landmark Funds implemented a policy change for
management of Landmark Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves. As of January 3,
1995, the Portfolio is prohibited from investing in repurchase agreements.
Previously, U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio had permission to invest in
repurchase agreements but did not choose to exercise this privilege and has had
no exposure to these securities.
FUND QUOTES FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
"We took advantage of opportunities to capture higher yields as the market
anticipated interest rate increases."
"Our strategy worked. We were able to earn higher yield and maintain high levels
of liquidity."
STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Although the Federal Reserve may increase short-term interest rates again
if the economy grows at an inflationary pace, we believe that most of the
increases are behind us. Indeed, we would not be surprised if the Federal
Reserve begins to loosen their reins on monetary policy in the months ahead as
the economy slows to more sustainable levels.
Citibank's strategy looking forward is the same one that we have employed
over the past six months: we intend to adjust the average maturity of the
Portfolio in response to changes in economic and market conditions. If
short-term interest rates begin to fall over the next six months, we are
prepared to lengthen maturities toward the 60-day maximum to maintain higher
yields for as long as possible. If, on the other hand, interest rates begin to
rise, we may shorten maturities to help ensure participation in higher yielding
investments as they become available. In the meantime, we expect to carefully
monitor the economy, monetary policy and other factors that affect short-term
U.S. Treasury securities.
Although the Fund is permitted by prospectus to extend its average maturity
to as much as 90 days, we do not anticipate exceeding an average weighted
maturity of 60 days in order to maintain our current Aaa rating with Moody's and
AAAm rating with Standard & Poor's. These are the highest ratings awarded for
money market mutual funds by these two nationally recognized securities rating
organizations. Ratings are historical and based on an analysis of the
Portfolio's credit quality, market price exposure and management.

7-DAY YIELDS
- - ------------
Annualized Current 5.32%
Effective 5.46%
The Annualized Current 7-Day Yield reflects the amount of income generated by
the investment during the seven-day period and assumes that the income is
generated each week over a 365 day period. The yield is shown as a percentage of
the investment.
The Effective 7-Day Yield is calculated similarly, but when annualized the
income earned by the investment during the seven-day period is assumed to be
reinvested.
The effective yield is slightly higher than the current yield because of the
compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
NOTES: The Fund seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 per share price, although there
is no assurance that this will be so on a continuing basis. Fund shares are not
insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Yields and total returns will
fluctuate and past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return
figures include reinvestment of dividends. Returns and yields reflect certain
voluntary fee waivers. If the waivers were not in place, the Fund's returns and
yields would have been lower.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Landmark Institutional U.S. Treasury Reserves (the "Fund") is a diversified
separate series of Landmark Institutional Trust (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts
business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Fund invests
all of its investable assets in U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio (the
"Portfolio"), a management investment company for which Citibank, N.A.
("Citibank") serves as Investment Adviser. The Landmark Funds Broker-Dealer
Services, Inc. ("LFBDS") acts as the Trust's Administrator and Distributor.
Citibank also serves as Sub-Administrator and makes Fund shares available to
customers through various Shareholder Servicing Agents.
The Trust seeks to achieve the Fund's investment objective of providing
shareholders with liquidity and as high a level of current income from U.S.
Government obligations as is consistent with preservation of capital by
investing all of its investable assets in the Portfolio, an open-end,
diversified management investment company having the same investment objective
as the Fund. The value of such investment reflects the Fund's proportionate
interest (17.8% at February 28, 1995) in the net assets of the Portfolio.
The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the portfolio of
investments, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and are as follows:
A. INVESTMENT INCOME -- The Fund earns income, net of Portfolio expenses, daily
on its investment in the Portfolio.
B. FEDERAL TAXES -- The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code available to regulated investment companies and to
distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision
for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
C. EXPENSES -- The Fund bears all costs of its operations other than expenses
specifically assumed by Citibank and LFBDS. Expenses incurred by the Trust with
respect to any two or more Funds in a series are allocated in proportion to the
average net assets of each Fund, except where allocations of direct expenses to
each Fund can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund
are charged to that Fund.
D. CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR END -- On April 15, 1993, the Fund changed its fiscal
year end from December 31, to August 31.
E. OTHER -- All the net investment income of the Portfolio is allocated pro
rata, based on respective ownership interests, among the Fund and other
investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.
(2) DIVIDENDS
The net income of the Fund is determined once daily, as of 12:00 noon, New York
City time, and all of the net income of the Fund so determined is declared as a
dividend to shareholders of record at the time of such determination. Dividends
are distributed in the form of additional shares of the Fund or, at the election
of the shareholder, in cash (subject to the policies of the shareholder's
Shareholder Servicing Agent) on or prior to the last business day of the month.
(3) ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PLAN
The Trust has adopted an Administrative Services Plan which provides that the
Trust, on behalf of each Fund, may obtain the services of an Administrator, one
or more Shareholder Servicing Agents, and other Servicing Agents and may enter
into agreements providing for the payment of fees for such services. Under the
Trust's Administrative Services Plan, the aggregate of the fee paid to the
Administrator from the Fund and of the fees paid to the Shareholder Servicing
Agents from the Fund under such plan may not exceed 0.45% of the Fund's average
daily net assets on an annualized basis for the Fund's then-current fiscal year.
A. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES -- Under the terms of an Administrative Services
Agreement, LFBDS is entitled to an administrative fee from the Fund, as
compensation for overall administrative services and general office facilities,
which is accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.15% of the
Fund's average daily net assets. The administrative fee amounted to $105,780, of
which $41,051 was voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 1995.
Citibank acts as Sub-Administrator and performs such duties and receives such
compensation from LFBDS as from time to time is agreed to by LFBDS and Citibank.
The Fund pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or to any officer who is
affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their
services to the Fund from the Administrator or its affiliates. Certain of the
officers and a Trustee of the Fund are officers and a director of the
Administrator or its affiliates.
B. SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES -- The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered
into shareholder servicing agreements with each Shareholder Servicing Agent
pursuant to which the Shareholder Servicing Agent acts as an agent for its
customers and provides other related services. For their services, each
Shareholder Servicing Agent receives fees from the Fund, which may be paid
periodically, which may not exceed, on an annualized basis, an amount equal to
0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Fund represented by shares owned
during the period for which payment is being made by investors for whom such
Shareholder Servicing Agent maintains a servicing relationship. The Shareholder
Servicing Agent fees amounted to $211,561, all of which was voluntarily waived
for the six months ended February 28, 1995.
(4) DISTRIBUTION FEES
The Trust has adopted a Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, in which the Fund reimburses the
Distributor for expenses incurred or anticipated in connection with the sale of
shares of the Fund, limited to an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund. The Fund accrued fees for these services aggregating
$70,520, of which $69,300 was voluntarily waived for the six months ended
February 28, 1995.
(5) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
full and fractional shares of beneficial interest ($0.00001 par value).
(6) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Increases and decreases in the Fund's investment in the Portfolio aggregated
$301,634,279 and $324,751,177 respectively, for the six months ended February
28, 1995.

U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
U.S. Treasury Reserves Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, diversified, open-end
management investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of
the State of New York. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue
beneficial interests in the Portfolio. The Landmark Funds Broker-Dealer
Services, Inc. ("LFBDS") acts as the Portfolio's Administrator and Citibank,
N.A. ("Citibank") acts as the Investment Adviser. The significant accounting
policies consistently followed by the Portfolio are in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and are as follows:
A. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS -- Money market instruments are valued at amortized
cost, which the Trustees have determined in good faith constitutes fair value.
This method involves valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter
assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. The
Portfolio's use of amortized cost is subject to the Portfolio's compliance with
certain conditions as specified under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of
1940.
B. INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSES -- Interest income consists of interest accrued
and discount earned (including both original issue and market discount),
adjusted for amortization of premium, on the investments of the Portfolio,
accrued ratably to the date of maturity, plus or minus net realized gain or
loss, if any, on investments. Expenses of the Portfolio are accrued daily.
C. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Portfolio's policy is to comply with the
applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision
for federal income taxes is necessary.
D. DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES -- Expenses incurred by the Portfolio in
connection with its organization have been deferred and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis not to exceed five years.
E. CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR END -- On April 15, 1993, the Portfolio changed its
fiscal year end from December 31 to August 31.
F. OTHER -- Purchases, maturities and sales of money market instruments are
accounted for on the date of the transaction.
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
A. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES -- The investment advisory fees paid to Citibank, as
compensation for overall investment management services, amounted to $546,414,
of which $368,041 was voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28,
1995. The investment advisory fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets.
B. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES -- Under the terms of an Administrative Services
Agreement, the administrative fee paid to the Administrator, as compensation for
overall administrative services and general office facilities, is accrued daily
and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.05% of the Portfolio's average daily
net assets. The administrative fee amounted to $182,138, all of which was
voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 1995. The Portfolio
pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any officer who is affiliated
with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to
the Portfolio from the Administrator or its affiliates. Certain of the officers
and a Trustee of the Portfolio are officers and a director of the Administrator
or its affiliates.
(3) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases, maturities and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations, aggregated
$5,658,588,112 and $5,656,248,846, respectively, for the six months ended
February 28, 1995.
(4) LINE OF CREDIT
The Portfolio, along with other Landmark Funds, entered into an agreement with a
bank which allows the Funds collectively to borrow up to $40 million for
temporary or emergency purposes. Interest on borrowings, if any, is charged to
the specific fund executing the borrowing at the base rate of the bank. In
addition, the $15 million committed portion of the line of credit requires a
quarterly payment of a commitment fee based on the average daily unused portion
of the line of credit. For the six months ended February 28, 1995, the
commitment fee allocated to the Portfolio was $2,891. Since the line of credit
was established, there have been no borrowings.

A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
Although the six months ended February 28, 1995 were difficult for most
financial markets, short-term investments did quite well. In fact, this was one
of very few times in the history of the financial markets in which cash
equivalent investments outperformed longer term securities. Investors in money
market instruments enjoyed correspondingly higher yields as tighter monetary
policy caused interest rates to rise in a stronger-than-expected economy.
Throughout the period, the Cash Reserves Portfolio's investment adviser,
Citibank, N.A., managed the Portfolio in a manner consistent with the objective
stated in the Fund's prospectus: providing liquidity and as high a level of
current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital. Through its
investment in the Cash Reserves Portfolio, the Fund seeks to offer an attractive
yield and a competitive expense ratio by investing in a high-quality portfolio
of short-term domestic and foreign dollar-denominated money market instruments.
This Semi-Annual Report reviews the Fund and Portfolio's investment activities
and performance over the past six months, and provides a summary of Citibank's
perspective on the financial markets and outlook for the foreseeable future. On
behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Landmark Funds, I want to thank our
shareholders for their participation and support. We look forward to serving you
in the months and years ahead.
/s/ Philip W. Coolidge

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
On February 4, 1994, the Federal Reserve Board began to raise short-term
interest rates in order to slow the growth of the U.S. economy and forestall an
acceleration of inflation. By the end of February 1995, the results of their
efforts had begun to take effect. As of this writing, the inflation rate
remains stable, the economy appears to be slowing and long-term interest rates,
which often reflect investors' confidence in fiscal and monetary policy, are
moderating from their 1994 highs.
The road to this relatively positive state of economic affairs, however, was a
rocky one. Six months ago, the economy was growing faster than its productive
capacity despite five consecutive increases in the federal funds rate.
Fixed-income investors remained concerned about the potential for a resurgence
of inflation, causing most long-term prices to fall sharply. In response to
these concerns, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates twice more
three-quarters of a percentage point in November and one-half of a point in
February for a total of seven increases since February 4, 1994. During that
time, the federal funds rate doubled from three percent to six percent.
Although higher short-term interest rates put pressure on the prices of longer
term fixed-income securities, they had a positive effect on short-term, cash
equivalent investments. At the end of the reporting period, on February 28,
1995, yields on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills stood at 5.93%, 27.3% higher than
their 4.66% yields on September 1, 1994, six months earlier.

INVESTMENT ADVISER, CASH RESERVES PORTFOLIO
Citibank, N.A.
FUND QUOTES FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
"We periodically took a more aggressive maturity stance than some other money
market funds as the market anticipated interest rate increases."
"Our strategy worked. We were able to earn higher yields and maintain liquidity
with longer dated securities."
"We modestly reduced our holdings of U.S. Treasury securities in favor of other
money market investments that offered high yields."
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER RESPONDS
Although Citibank fully expected the Federal Reserve to tighten monetary
policy further during the six-month period, we felt that investors had already
incorporated higher interest rates into the marketplace. Consequently, we
maintained a longer average maturity than most other money market funds during
the period. This relatively aggressive maturity stance enabled us to capture
incrementally higher yields and earn higher returns for our shareholders.
We also actively managed the mix of short-term money market instruments in
the Portfolio. In a rising interest rate environment, we increased our exposure
to floating-rate securities issued by banks and corporations that provided a
degree of protection from rising yields. During most of the period, we employed
a "barbell" approach to portfolio management -- very short-term investments in
time deposits, commercial paper and repurchase agreements were balanced by
longer term investments in U.S. Treasury bills and certificates of deposit. This
approach enabled us to lock in higher yields at the long end of the maturity
range while keeping cash available for higher yielding investments at the short
end of the maturity range.
Finally, the Board of Trustees of the Landmark Funds implemented a policy
change during the period. As of January 3, 1995, the Cash Reserves Portfolio is
restricted to investing only in money market instruments rated A1/P1 or its
equivalent (as rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating or
ganization), the highest credit rating available. Previously, the Portfolio was
permitted to invest up to 5% of its assets in A2/P2-rated securities. However,
the Portfolio did not choose to exercise this privilege and has had no exposure
to A2/P2-rated securities.
STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK
Although the Federal Reserve may increase short-term interest rates again if
the economy grows at an inflationary pace, we believe that most of the increases
are behind us. Indeed, we would not be surprised if the Federal Reserve begins
to loosen their reins on monetary policy in the months ahead as the economy
slows to more sustainable levels.
Citibank's strategy looking forward is the same one that we have employed
over the past six months: we intend to adjust the average maturity and
investment mix of the Portfolio in response to changes in economic and market
conditions. If short-term interest rates begin to fall over the next six months,
we are prepared to lengthen maturities to maintain higher yields for as long as
possible. If, on the other hand, interest rates begin to rise, we may shorten
maturities to help ensure participation in higher yielding investments as they
become available. In the meantime, we expect to carefully monitor the economy,
monetary policy and other factors that affect short-term money market
securities.

7-DAY YIELDS
Annualized Current 6.13%
Effective 6.32%
The Annualized Current 7-Day Yield reflects the amount of income generated by
the investment during that seven-day period and assumes that the income is
generated each week over a 365 day period. The yield is shown as a percentage of
the investment.
The Effective 7-Day Yield is calculated similarly, but when annualized the
income earned by the investment during that seven-day period is assumed to be
reinvested.
The effective yield is slightly higher than the current yield because of the
compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
7-DAY YIELD COMPARISONS
As the graph illustrates, Landmark Institutional Liquid Reserves generally
provided a higher annualized seven-day yield than the average of comparable
Money Market Funds, as published in IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report over most

Notes: The Fund seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 per share price, although there
is no assurance that this will be so on a continuing basis. Fund shares are not
insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Yields and total returns will
fluctuate and past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return
figures include reinvestment of dividends. Returns and yields reflect certain
voluntary fee waivers. If the waivers were not in place, the Fund's returns
would have been lower and the 7-day annualized current yield would have been
5.98%.

LANDMARK INSTITUTIONAL LIQUID RESERVES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Landmark Institutional Liquid Reserves (the "Fund") is a diversified separate
series of Landmark Institutional Trust (the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business
trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Fund invests all of
its investable assets in Cash Reserves Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), a management
investment company for which Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") serves as Investment
Adviser. The Landmark Funds Broker-Dealer Services, Inc. ("LFBDS") acts as the
Trust's Administrator and Distributor. Citibank also serves as Sub-Administrator
and makes Fund shares available to customers through various Shareholder
Servicing Agents.
The Trust seeks to achieve the Fund's investment objective of providing
liquidity and as high a level of current income as is consistent with the
preservation of capital by investing all of its investable assets in the
Portfolio, an open-end, diversified management investment company having the
same investment objective as the Fund. The value of such investment reflects the
Fund's proportionate interest (17.3% at February 28, 1995) in the net assets of
the Portfolio.
The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the portfolio of
investments, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in
conjunction with the Fund's financial statements.
The significant accounting policies followed by the Fund are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and are as follows:
A. INVESTMENT INCOME -- The Fund earns income, net of Portfolio expenses, daily
on its investment in the Portfolio.
B. FEDERAL TAXES -- The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code available to regulated investment companies and to
distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision
for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
C. EXPENSES -- The Fund bears all costs of its operations other than expenses
specifically assumed by Citibank and LFBDS. Expenses incurred by the Trust with
respect to any two or more Funds in the series are allocated in proportion to
the average net assets of each Fund, except where allocations of direct expenses
to each Fund can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses directly attributable to a
Fund are charged to that Fund.
D. OTHER -- All the net investment income of the Portfolio is allocated pro
rata, based on respective ownership interests, among the Fund and other
investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.
(2) DIVIDENDS
The net income of the Fund is determined once daily, as of 2:00 p.m., New York
City time, and all of the net income of the Fund so determined is declared as a
dividend to shareholders of record at the time of such determination. Dividends
are distributed in the form of additional shares of the Fund or, at the election
of the shareholder, in cash (subject to the policies of the shareholder's
Shareholder Servicing Agent) on or prior to the last business day of the month.
(3) ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PLAN
The Trust has adopted an Administrative Services Plan which provides that the
Trust, on behalf of each Fund, may obtain the services of an Administrator, one
or more Shareholder Servicing Agents, and other Servicing Agents and may enter
into agreements providing for the payment of fees for such services. Under the
Trust's Administrative Services Plan, the aggregate of the fee paid to the
Administrator from the Fund under such Plan and of the fees paid to the
Shareholder Servicing Agents from the Fund may not exceed 0.45% of the Fund's
average daily net assets on an annualized basis for the Fund's then-current
fiscal year.
A. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES -- Under the terms of an Administrative Services
Agreement, LFBDS is entitled to an administrative fee from the Fund, as
compensation for overall administrative services and general office facilities,
which is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund's
average daily net assets. The Administrative fee amounted to $225,157, of which
$145,984 was voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 1995.
Citibank acts as Sub-Administrator and performs such duties and receives such
compensation for LFBDS as from time to time is agreed to by LFBDS and Citibank.
The Fund pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or to any officer who is
affiliated with the Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their
services to the Fund from the Administrator or its affiliates. Certain of the
officers and a Trustee of the Fund are officers and a director of the
Administrator or its affiliates.
B. SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENT FEES -- The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has
entered into shareholder servicing agreements with each Shareholder Servicing
Agent pursuant to which the Shareholder Servicing Agent acts as an agent for its
customers and provides other related services. For their services, each
Shareholder Servicing Agent receives fees from the Fund, which may be paid
periodically, which may not exceed, on an annualized basis, an amount equal to
0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Fund represented by shares owned
during the period for which payment is being made by investors for whom such
Shareholder Servicing Agent maintains a servicing relationship. The Shareholder
Servicing Agent fee amounted to $450,313, all of which was voluntarily waived
for the six months ended February 28, 1995.
(4) DISTRIBUTION FEES
The Trust has adopted a Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, in which the Fund reimburses the
Distributor for expenses incurred or anticipated in connection with the sale of
shares of the Fund, limited to an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund. The distribution fee amounted to $150,104 for these
services, all of which was voluntarily waived for the six months ended February
28, 1995.
(5) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of
full and fractional Shares of Beneficial Interest ($0.00001 par value).
(6) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Increases and decreases in the Fund's investment in the Portfolio aggregated
$1,837,744,293 and $1,974,872,092 respectively, for the six months ended
February 28, 1995.

CASH RESERVES PORTFOLIO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash Reserves Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the U.S.
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, diversified, open-end
management investment company which was organized as a trust under the laws of
the State of New York. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue
beneficial interests in the Portfolio. Signature Financial Group (Grand Cayman),
Ltd. ("SFG") acts as the Portfolio's Administrator and Citibank, N.A.
("Citibank") acts as the Investment Adviser.
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio are
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and are as
follows:
A. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS -- Money market instruments are valued at amortized
cost, which the Trustees have determined in good faith constitutes fair value.
This method involves valuing a portfolio security at its cost and thereafter
assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. The
Portfolio's use of amortized cost is subject to the Portfolio's compliance with
certain conditions as specified under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of
1940.
B. INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSES -- Interest income consists of interest accrued
and discount earned (including both original issue and market discount) on the
investments of the Portfolio, accrued ratably to the date of maturity, plus or
minus net realized gain or loss, if any, on investments. Expenses of the
Portfolio are accrued daily.
C. U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Portfolio is considered a partnership under
the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income
taxes is necessary.
D. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- It is the policy of the Portfolio to require the
custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal
Reserve Book Entry System or to have segregated within the custodian bank's
vault, all securities held as collateral in support of repurchase agreement
investments. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Portfolio to
monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of the repurchase agreement's
underlying investments to ensure the existence of a proper level of collateral.
E. DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES -- Expenses incurred by the Portfolio in
connection with its organization have been deferred and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis not to exceed five years.
F. OTHER -- Purchases and maturities and sales of money market instruments are
accounted for on the date of the transaction.
(2) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEE
A. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE -- The investment advisory fee paid to Citibank, as
compensation for overall investment management services, amounted to $1,541,592,
of which $943,202 was voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28,
1995. The investment advisory fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.15% of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets.
B. ADMINISTRATIVE FEE -- Under the terms of an Administrative Services
Agreement, the administrative fee paid to the Administrator, as compensation for
overall administrative services and general office facilities, is computed at
the annual rate of 0.05% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. The
administrative fee amounted to $513,864, all of which was voluntarily waived for
the six months ended February 28, 1995. The Portfolio pays no compensation
directly to any Trustee or to any officer who is affiliated with the
Administrator, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the
Portfolio from the Administrator or its affiliates. Certain of the officers and
a Trustee of the Portfolio are officers and a director of the Administrator or
its affiliates.
(3) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and maturities and sales of money market instruments aggregated
$76,662,967,372 and $76,886,693,668, respectively, for the six months ended
February 28, 1995.
(4) LINE OF CREDIT
The Portfolio, along with other Landmark Funds, entered into an agreement with a
bank which allows the Funds collectively to borrow up to $40 million for
temporary or emergency purposes. Interest on borrowings, if any, is charged to
the specific fund executing the borrowing at the base rate of the bank. In
addition, the $15 million committed portion of the line of credit requires a
quarterly payment of a commitment fee based on the average daily unused portion
of the line of credit. For the six months ended February 28, 1995, the
commitment fee allocated to the Portfolio was $9,388. Since the line of credit
was established, there have been no borrowings.
