Keystone State Tax Free Fund--Series II
Seeks generous tax-free income from high quality municipal bonds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to report to you on activities of Keystone State Tax Free
Fund--Series II for the six-month period which ended May 31, 1996. Following
this letter we have included a performance summary of the California Insured
and Missouri Tax Free funds and an interview with Keystone's municipal bond
department.
Interest rates rose during the six-month period resulting in price declines
for most municipal bonds. The Lehman Municipal Bond Index--a widely
recognized benchmark of municipal bond performance--returned -0.58% for the
six-month and 4.57% for the twelve-month periods. Despite negative total
returns, we think the California Insured and Missouri Funds performed
satisfactorily during a volatile and challenging period for municipal bond
investors.
The unsettled period was triggered by a changed environment of significantly
higher interest rates. This was not expected by many professional investment
managers who had anticipated a continuation of moderate economic growth and
relatively low interest rates. The rate increases resulted in price declines
for nearly every bond investor. As a result, we believe higher rates have
added to the attractiveness of municipal bonds, increasing the potential for
greater tax-free income.
A period of adjustment
The past six months can be characterized as a time of adjustment for
municipal bonds. In December 1995 investors were still enjoying the final
phase of last year's powerful bond market rally. However, by February 1996, a
series of economic reports indicated that the economy was stronger than many
had expected. These reports created uncertainty and raised concerns about
higher inflation. As a result, interest rates rose and bond prices declined.
Caution still influences the bond market's tone; however, it appears that
most of the increase in long-term rates has already occurred.
Outlook
In the coming months, we expect municipal bonds to trade in a narrow range,
with yields somewhat higher than 1995. During the second half of 1996, we
expect moderate economic strength and well contained inflation, which should
help to support prices close to current levels.
We appreciate your continued support of Keystone funds. If you have any
questions or comments about your investment, please feel free to write to us.
Sincerely,

Keystone California Insured Tax Free Fund
Your Fund's Performance
Your Fund's objective is to earn generous income, exempt from federal and
state income tax, while preserving capital.(2) At least 80% of your Fund's
investments are insured as to timely payment of both principal and interest.
The Fund is managed by George Kimball, vice president in Keystone's municipal
bond department.
Performance
For the six- and twelve-month periods respectively:
Class A shares returned -2.36% and 2.74%,
Class B shares returned -2.73% and 2.06% and
Class C shares returned -2.64% and 1.96%.
Portfolio Strategy
We adjusted the average maturity of the Fund to guide it through changing
market environments. At the end of 1995, the bond market had just begun to
undergo the shift from exuberance to caution. For much of 1995, we had
invested in 20-25 year maturities to maximize price appreciation when prices
were rising. We began to shorten the Fund's average maturity in January in an
effort to enhance price stability and give the Fund greater flexibility. We
accomplished this by investing in bonds with 15-20 year maturities. The
Fund's average maturity fell from 22 years on November 30, 1995 to 20 years
on May 31, 1996.
We also utilized this period of rising rates to add higher yielding
securities to the Fund. We sold lower yielding bonds and swapped into higher
yielding bonds that we considered to be undervalued by investors. Throughout
the entire six-month reporting period, we invested in bonds with good call
protection to maintain the Fund's income.
Economic Environment
California's economy has begun to recover from the most severe downturn it
has encountered since the Great Depression. Employment growth, stemming from
international trade, business services, high technology and entertainment and
tourism, has enabled the state to recapture all the jobs lost during that
recent recession. Budget problems persist, however. Though California's
budget has been aided by a stronger than expected economy, the state
continues to have an accumulated budget deficit.
Our outlook for the state is cautious. We recognize the improvement in
California's economy, and are encouraged by investors' positive response to
Orange County's most recent debt offering. We are concerned about the state's
continuing budget pressures, however. Job cuts in defense and aerospace are
expected to cause employment growth to moderate over the next few years at a
time when we look for the state's budget to endure additional pressure for
education, social services and correctional facilities. Further, the Governor
has proposed a 15% reduction in both the personal and corporate income tax.
If fully enacted, the tax cut could cost the state approximately $4.7 billion
in revenues. The move would benefit taxpayers; however, it also could be
viewed as imprudent by bondholders, since revenues are needed to meet other
fiscal obligations.

Keystone Missouri Tax Free Fund
Your Fund's Performance
Your Fund's objective is to earn generous income, exempt from federal and
state income tax, while preserving capital.(5) The Fund is managed by Daniel
A. Rabasco, vice president in Keystone's municipal bond department.
Performance
For the six- and twelve-month periods respectively:
Class A shares returned -1.80% and 3.16%,
Class B shares returned -2.29% and 2.29% and
Class C shares returned -2.19% and 2.40%.
Portfolio Strategy
We employed several strategies in managing your Fund. A limited supply of
Missouri bonds, as well as the changing interest rate environment created a
climate that was especially challenging for Missouri investors.
Throughout the period, we sought insured, non-callable bonds with high
coupons. These bonds provided attractive income and relative stability in an
environment of changing interest rates. We also invested in some BBB-rated
securities--primarily hospitals, which provided additional yield. We believed
that these bonds represented good investment opportunity that was sometimes
undervalued in the market.
We adjusted the Fund's average maturity to guide it through the two
different interest rate environments. When prices rose and yields fell, we
invested in bonds with 30-year maturities and non-callable zero coupon bonds,
to capture price appreciation. When yields rose and prices declined, we
shortened the Fund's average maturity by investing in bonds with 20-year
maturities. As of the end of May 1996, your Fund's average maturity was 20
years and its average quality was AA.
Economic Environment
Missouri's economy continues to outperform the national economy. As of April
1996, the state's unemployment rate stood at 4.1%, which was well below the
national rate of 5.4%. Employment growth has been steady, stemming from
increases in the service sector and particularly, health and computer
services. In 1995, jobs in Missouri grew at a 3.0% rate.
Missouri's strong economy and prudent fiscal management continues to result
in large budget surpluses. The state ended fiscal 1995 with a $750 million
general fund balance, which was equal to approximately 10% of general fund
expenditures.
Outlook
We expect many of the positive trends we have seen in the state to continue.
We think Missouri should experience above average economic growth due to the
state's relatively low cost of living and its role as a distribution hub in
the central U.S. Job growth in the service sector is expected to offset
potential losses in manufacturing. Finally, we believe that Missouri's
extremely low debt levels and prudent fiscal management will continue to
support its strong reputation among investors.

Keystone State Tax Free Fund--Series II
A Discussion With
Your Fund's Management
The Keystone State Tax Free Funds are managed by Keystone's municipal bond
team, headed by senior portfolio manager Betsy Blacher. The team includes
portfolio managers George Kimball, Daniel A. Rabasco, analyst David Moore and
trader Craig Kasap. The team is dedicated to researching, analyzing and
evaluating municipal bonds for Keystone funds.
Q What do the Funds offer investors?
A The Funds are designed for tax-sensitive investors who seek a high level
of current income exempt from federal income tax, while preserving
capital.(8) The Funds offer professional management and diversification by
investing in a portfolio of quality municipal bonds.
Q How do you select securities?
A Our management team employs an intensive research process, paying careful
attention to credit quality and financial stability. We structure the
portfolio with bonds that meet our high credit standards. Our holdings
typically have the characteristics that we believe are necessary for good
performance in the current and anticipated interest rate environment. We
emphasize diversification and focus on maximizing the Fund's income.
Q What was the tone of the municipal bond market over the past six months?
A As we began the reporting period in December 1995, investors were still
enjoying the final phase of last year's strong bond market rally. By February
1996, expectations of a slowing economy and further interest rate declines
gave way to stronger economic growth. Higher than expected employment numbers
in February raised concerns about higher inflation. This caused interest
rates to rise and bond prices to decline. At the end of May, investors
continued to be cautious, but seemed to have a greater comfort level with the
outlook for the economy and inflation.
Q How did you manage the portfolios in these different environments?
A The sudden and dramatic shift in sentiment surprised many professional
managers. Our forecast for 1996 was for a continuation of the slow growth,
low interest rate and controlled inflation environment. Based on this
forecast, we generally had a slightly longer average maturity in our
portfolios than our peers. Longer term bonds tend to be more sensitive to
changes in interest rates and provide higher income than shorter term bonds.
With interest rates expected to remain stable or decline slightly, we thought
a longer average maturity made sense. When interest rates rose and bond
prices declined in February, our longer maturity caused some of the
portfolios to slightly lag the performance of municipal bond indexes. As
yields rose, we concentrated on building income. We swapped out of the lower
yielding issues into higher yielding bonds that we considered undervalued.
Q How does the municipal bond market look going forward?
A We continue to believe that the economy is growing at a healthy pace and
inflation poses no immediate threat. Near term price volatility may persist
because of mixed economic indicators. Once signs of moderate growth and tame
inflation emerge, interest rates should stabilize or decline. The supply of
municipal bonds should continue to decline as more bond calls are expected
than new issues over the next twelve months.
We believe the environment continues to be attractive for investors.
Municipal bonds have recently outperformed their taxable counterparts -- U.S.
Treasury securities. In addition, we think that this higher interest rate
environment should be positive for investors seeking tax-free income.

- --------------------------------------
Keystone State Tax Free Fund--Series II
Q What is your outlook?
A In the coming months, we expect municipal bonds to trade in a narrow
range, with yields somewhat higher than 1995. The market has endured some
price declines. However, we believe that this environment of higher interest
rates should hold new opportunity for income-oriented investors. We expect
that news of moderate economic strength and well contained inflation should
support prices that are close to current levels.
Q Municipal bonds have seen a lot of price volatility over the last few
years. Are they still a good investment?
A It is true that municipal bonds have fluctuated more than you would expect
in comparison to long-term historical price changes. However, we have also
witnessed some of the most dramatic and abrupt changes in interest rates in
more than 20 years. Because changes in interest rates are an important
influence on municipal bonds, the dramatic changes in recent years have
resulted in greater bond price fluctuations than usual. While predicting the
short-term movements of interest rates can be difficult, we expect an
improved environment over the long-term. In fact, we think that municipal
bonds have become more attractive as opportunities to shelter income have
dwindled and the supply of municipals has declined.
We know that the markets and interest rates are influenced by changes in the
economic and business cycle over the short term. However, over the long term,
we believe tax-free bonds should provide attractive returns and income.
Today, we think municipal bonds offer significant opportunities for
investors. Inflation is still relatively low by historical standards and,
real yields--after factoring in the effects of taxes and inflation--are
historically high, in our opinion. For example, a 10-year AA-rated bond was
yielding 5.15% on May 31, 1996. For an investor in the 36% tax bracket, the
taxable equivalent yield is 8.05%.(9) We think this yield is very attractive
especially when you consider that inflation has been relatively low.
<TABLE>

in the 36% federal tax bracket 8.05%

-----
Net taxable equivalent yield
(after-tax, net of inflation) 5.05%
=====
</TABLE>
Of course, the most compelling reason to own municipals is for their
relatively attractive tax-free yields.(10) As of May 31, 1996, a selection of
20-year A-rated municipal bonds were yielding approximately 89% of comparable
U.S. Treasuries.(11) With inflation relatively low, the after-tax and after
inflation yields to investors is very attractive.

Keystone State Tax Free Fund--Series II
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1.) Significant Accounting Policies
Keystone State Tax Free Fund-Series II ("FUND") was formed as a Massachusetts
business trust on December 15, 1993 and is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management
investment company. Keystone Investment Management Company ("Keystone") is
the Investment Adviser and Manager. The FUND currently offers shares of two
separate non-diversified series evidencing interests in different portfolios
of securities (individually the "Fund", collectively, the "Funds"): Keystone
California Insured Tax Free Fund ("California Fund") and Keystone Missouri
Tax Free Fund ("Missouri Fund"). The Funds seek the highest possible current
income exempt from federal income taxes, while preserving capital.
Each Fund currently offers three classes of shares. Class A shares are sold
subject to a maximum sales charge of 4.75% payable at the time of purchase.
Class B shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge that
varies depending on when shares were purchased and how long they are held.
Class C shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge payable
upon redemption within one year of purchase and are available only through
dealers who have entered into special distribution agreements with Keystone
Investment Distributors Company ("KIDC"), the FUND's principal underwriter.
Keystone is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keystone Investments, Inc. ("KII"),
a Delaware corporation. KII is privately owned by an investor group
consisting predominantly of current and former members of management of
Keystone and its affiliates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles,
which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
amounts reported herein. Although actual results could differ from these
estimates, such differences are expected to be immaterial to the net assets
of the Funds.
A. Tax-exempt bonds are valued on the basis of valuations provided by a
pricing service, approved by the Board of Trustees, that uses information
with respect to transactions in bonds, quotations from bond dealers, market
transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between
securities in determining value. Non-tax-exempt securities for which market
quotations are readily available are valued at the price quoted that, in the
opinion of the Board of Trustees or their representative, most nearly
represents their market value. Short-term investments that are purchased with
maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost (original
purchase cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of
discount), which, when combined with accrued interest, approximates market.
Short-term investments maturing in more than sixty days for which market
quotations are readily available are valued at current market value.
Short-term investments maturing in more than sixty days when purchased that
are held on the sixtieth day prior to maturity are valued at amortized cost
(market value on the sixtieth day adjusted for amortization of premium or
accretion of discount), which, when combined with accrued interest
approximates market. All other securities and other assets are valued at fair
value as determined in good faith using methods prescribed by the Board of
Trustees.
B. Each Fund may enter into financial futures contracts as a hedge against
changes in interest rates. A futures contract is an agreement between two
parties to buy and sell a specific amount of a commodity, security, financial
instrument, or, in the case of a stock index, cash at a set price on a future
date. Upon enter-
<PAGE>
PAGE 23
- --------------------------------------
Keystone State Tax Free Fund--Series II
ing into a futures contract the Fund is required to deposit with a broker an
amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price
indicated in the futures contract. Subsequent payments ("variation margin")
are made or received by the Fund each day, as the value of the underlying
instrument or index fluctuates, and are recorded for book purposes as
unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. For federal tax purposes, any futures
contracts that remain open at fiscal year-end are marked-to-market and the
resultant net gain or loss is included in a Fund's federal taxable income. In
addition to market risk, the Fund is subject to the credit risk that the
other party will not complete the obligations of the contract.
C. When-issued or delayed delivery transactions arise when securities or
currencies are purchased or sold by a Fund with payment and delivery taking
place in the future in order to secure what is considered to be an
advantageous price and yield to the Fund at the time of entering into the
transaction. A separate account of liquid assets equal to the value of such
purchase commitments will be maintained until payment is made. When-issued
and delayed agreements are subject to risks from changes in value based upon
changes in the level of interest rates and other market factors, both before
and after delivery.
D. Securities transactions are accounted for no later than one business day
after the trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on the
identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All
premiums and original issue discounts are amortized/accreted for both
financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.
E. Each Fund has qualified, and intends to qualify in the future, as a
regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"). Thus, each Fund is relieved of any
federal income tax liability by distributing all of its net taxable
investment income and net taxable capital gains, if any, to its shareholders.
Each Fund intends to avoid excise tax liability by making the required
distributions under the Internal Revenue Code.
F. Organization expenses are being amortized to operations over a five-year
period on a straight-line basis. In the event any of the initial shares are
redeemed by any holder thereof during the five-year amortization period,
redemption proceeds will be reduced by any unamortized organization expenses
in the same proportion as the number of initial shares being redeemed bears
to the number of initial shares outstanding at the time of redemption.
G. Each Fund intends to declare dividends from net investment income daily
and distribute to its shareholders such dividends monthly and to declare and
distribute all net realized long-term capital gains, if any, at least
annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations. The significant differences between financial statement amounts
available for distribution and distributions made in accordance with income
tax regulations are primarily due to differences in the treatment of Rule
12b-1 Distribution Plan charges and market discount of investment securities.
(2.) Capital Share Transactions
The FUND's Declaration of Trust authorizes the issuance of an unlimited
number of shares of beneficial interest without par value. Transactions in
shares of the Funds were as follows:

Keystone State Tax Free Fund--Series II
Each Fund bears some of the cost of selling its shares under Distribution
Plans adopted with respect to its Class A, Class B and Class C shares
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
Each Class A Distribution Plan provides for expenditures, which are limited
to at an annual rate of up to 0.25% (currently limited to 0.15%) of the
average daily net asset value of Class A shares, to pay expenses related to
the distribution of Class A shares. Amounts paid by each Fund to KIDC under
the Class A Distribution Plan are currently used to pay others (such as
dealers) service fees at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of the average daily
net asset value of Class A shares maintained by such others on the books of
the Fund for specified periods.
Each Class B Distribution Plan provides for expenditures, which are limited
to an annual rate of 1.00% (currently limited to 0.90%) of the average daily
net asset value of Class B shares, to pay expenses related to the
distribution of Class B shares. For Class B shares sold on or after June 1,
1995, amounts paid by each Fund under such shares' Class B Distribution Plan
are currently used to pay others (such as dealers) a commission at the time
of purchase normally equal to 4.00% of the price paid for each Class B share
sold plus the first year's service fee in advance in the amount of 0.15% of
the price paid for each Class B share sold. Beginning approximately 12 months
after the purchase of such Class B shares, the dealer or other party will
receive service fees at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net
asset value of such Class B shares maintained by such others on the Fund's
books for specified periods. A contingent deferred sales charge will be
imposed, if applicable, on Class B shares purchased on or after June 1, 1995
at rates ranging from a maximum of 5.00% of amounts redeemed during the first
twelve month period from and including the month of purchase to 1.00% of
amounts redeemed during the sixth twelve month period. Class B shares
purchased on or after June 1, 1995 that have been outstanding for eight years
from and including the month of purchase will automatically convert to Class
A shares without a front-end sales charge or exchange fee. Class B shares
purchased prior to June 1, 1995 retain their existing conversion rights.
Each Class C Distribution Plan provides for expenditures, which are limited
to an annual rate of up to 1.00% (currently limited to 0.90%) of the average
daily net asset value of Class C shares, to pay expenses related to the
distribution of Class C shares. Amounts paid by each Fund under the Class C
Distribution Plan are currently used to pay others (such as dealers) a
commission at the time of purchase equal to 0.75% of the price paid for each
share sold plus the first year's service fee in advance in the amount of
0.25% of the price paid for each Class C share. Beginning approximately 15
months after purchase, the dealer or other party will receive a commission at
an annual rate of 0.75% (subject to applicable limitations imposed by the
National Association of Security Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")) plus service fees at
the annual rate of 0.25%, respectively, of the average daily net asset value
of each Class C share sold by such others and maintained on the Fund's books
for specified periods.
Each of the Distribution Plans may be terminated at any time by vote of the
Independent Trustees or by a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the
respective class. However, after the termination of any Distribution Plans,
at the discretion of the Board of Trustees, payments to KIDC may continue as
compensation for its services which had been earned while the Distribution
Plans were in effect.
For the six months ended May 31, 1996, amounts paid to KIDC pursuant to each
Fund's Class A, Class B and C Class Distribution Plans were as follows:

$128,836 for the California Fund and the Missouri Fund, respectively.
Presently, each Fund's class-specific expenses are limited to Distribution
Plans expenses incurred by a class of shares pursuant to its Distribution
Plan.
(3.) Securities Transactions
As of November 30, 1995, the approximate capital loss carryover for federal
income purposes for the California Fund was $387,000 which expires in 2002;
and the approximate capital loss carryover for the Missouri Fund was
$657,000, which expires as follows: 2002--$152,000 and 2003--$505,000.
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term
securities, for the six months ended May 31, 1996 were as follows:

</TABLE>
(4.) Investment Management Agreement and Other Transactions
Under the terms of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement between
Keystone and the FUND, Keystone provides investment management and
administative services to each Fund. In return, Keystone is paid a management
fee computed and paid daily. The management fee is calculated by applying
percentage rates, which start at 0.55% and decline to 0.25% per annum as net
assets increase, to the net asset value of each Fund.
Keystone Investor Resource Center, Inc. ("KIRC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Keystone, serves as each Fund's transfer and dividend disbursing agent.
During the six months ended May 31, 1996, the California Fund and the
Missouri Fund paid or accrued to KII $10,383, and $10,383, respectively, for
certain accounting services.
Keystone has voluntarily agreed to limit expenses of Class A Shares of each
Fund to 0.75% of average daily net assets and limit expenses of Class B
shares and Class C shares to 1.50% of the average daily net assets of the
respective class. Keystone will not be required to reimburse a Fund to an
extent it would result in a Fund's inability to qualify as a regulated
investment company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. In
accordance with these expense limitations, Keystone reimbursed the California
Fund and the Missouri Fund $54,531 and $54,779, respectively, for the six
months ended May 31, 1996. Keystone does not intend to seek repayment for
these amounts.
The Funds have entered into an expense offset arrangement with their
custodian. For the six months
