1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Citi Institutional Tax Free Reserves (the “Fund”) is a separate non-diversified series of CitiFunds Institutional Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Fund invests all of its investable assets in Tax Free Reserves Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a management investment company for which Citi Fund Management Inc. (the “Manager”) serves as Investment Manager. The value of such investment reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest (approximately 71.0% at February 28, 2005) in the net assets of the Portfolio. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”) is the Fund’s Distributor. Citicorp Trust Bank, fsb. (“CTB”), a subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Fund’s transfer agent.
The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the schedule of investments, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.
The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from these estimates.
A. Investment Valuation. Valuation of securities by the Portfolio is discussed in Note 1A of the Portfolio’s Notes to Financial Statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.
B. Investment Income. The Fund earns income, net of Portfolio expenses, daily on its investment in the Portfolio.
C. Federal and Other Taxes. It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains on investments, if any, to shareholders each year. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
D. Expenses. The Fund bears all costs of its operations other than expenses specifically assumed by the Manager. 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.
E. Method of Allocation. All the net investment income of the Portfolio is allocated pro rata, based on respective ownership interest, among the Fund and other investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.

F. Reclassification. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
2. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
The net income of the Fund is determined daily, as of 12:00 noon Eastern 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 Servicing Agent) on or prior to the last business day of the month.
Distributions of net realized gains to shareholders of the Fund, if any, are declared at least annually.
3. Management Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The management fees are computed at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The management fees paid to the Manager amounted to $576,296, of which $417,908 was voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 2005. The Manager serves as the Manager for the Portfolio, and receives management fees, before any waivers, at an annual rate of 0.20% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. Such waivers are voluntary and may be terminated at any time at the discretion of the Manager.
The Trust pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any officer who is affiliated with the Manager, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Fund from the Manager or its affiliates. Certain of the officers and a Trustee of the Trust are officers and a director of the Manager or its affiliates.
The Fund adopted a Service Plan pursuant to rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Service Plan allows the Fund to pay monthly fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.10% of the average daily net assets. The Service fees paid amounted to $576,296, all of which were voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 2005. Such waiver is voluntary and may be terminated at any time. These fees may be used to make payments to the distributor and to Service Agents or others as compensation for the sale of Fund shares or for advertising, marketing or other promotional activity, and for preparation, printing and distribution of prospectuses, statements of additional information and reports for recipients other than regulators and existing shareholders. The Fund may also make payments to the distributor and others for providing personal service or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.
4. Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (par value $0.00001 per share).
Because the Fund has maintained a $1.00 net asset value per share from inception, the number of shares sold, share issued in reinvestment of dividends declared, and shares repurchased, are equal to the dollar amount shown in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the corresponding capital share transactions.

5. Capital Loss Carryforward
On August 31, 2004, the Fund had for federal income tax purposes, a net capital loss carryforward of approximately $42,115, of which $9,272 expires on August 31, 2011 and $32,843 expires on August 31, 2012. This amount will be available to offset any future taxable capital gains.
6.Trustee Retirement Plan
The Trustees of the Fund have adopted a Retirement Plan for all Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, within the meaning of the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, all Trustees are required to retire from the Board as of the last day of the calendar year in which the applicable Trustee attains age 75 (certain Trustees who had already attained age 75 when the Plan was adopted were required to retire effective December 31, 2003.) Trustees may retire under the Plan before attaining the mandatory retirement age. Trustees who have served as Trustee of the Trust or any of the investment companies associated with Citigroup for at least ten years when they retire are eligible to receive the maximum retirement benefit under the Plan. The maximum retirement benefit is an amount equal to five times the amount of retainer and regular meeting fees payable to a Trustee during the calendar year ending on or immediately prior to the applicable Trustee’s retirement. Amounts under the Plan may be paid in installments or in a lump sum (discounted to present value). Bene-fits under the Plan are unfunded. Three former Trustees are currently receiving payments under the Plan. In addition, two other former Trustees received a lump sum payment under the plan. The Fund’s allocable share of the expenses of the Plan for the six months ended February 28, 2005 was $1,716.
7.Additional Information
In connection with an investigation previously disclosed by Citigroup, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has notified Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), the Citigroup business unit that includes the funds’ investment manager and other investment advisory companies; Citicorp Trust Bank (“CTB”), an affiliate of CAM; Thomas W. Jones, the former CEO of CAM; and three other individuals, one of whom is an employee and two of whom are former employees of CAM, that the SEC Staff is considering recommending a civil injunctive action and/or an administrative proceeding against each of them relating to the creation and operation of an internal transfer agent unit to serve various CAM-managed funds.
In 1999, CTB entered the transfer agent business. CTB hired an unaffiliated subcontractor to perform some of the transfer agent services. The subcontractor, in exchange, had signed a separate agreement with CAM in 1998 that guaranteed investment management revenue to CAM and investment banking revenue to a CAM affiliate. The subcontractor’s business was later taken over by PFPC Inc., and at that time the revenue guarantee was eliminated and a one-time payment was made by the subcontractor to a CAM affiliate.

N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S (unaudited) (continued)
CAM did not disclose the revenue guarantee when the boards of various CAM-managed funds hired CTB as transfer agent. Nor did CAM disclose to the boards of the various CAM-managed funds the one-time payment received by the CAM affiliate when it was made. As previously disclosed, CAM has already paid the applicable funds, primarily through voluntary fee waivers, a total of approximately $17 million (plus interest), which is the amount of the revenue received by Citi-group relating to the revenue guarantee.
In addition, the SEC Staff has indicated that it is considering recommending action based on the adequacy of the disclosures made to the fund boards that approved the transfer agency arrangement, CAM’s initiation and operation of, and compensation for, the transfer agent business and CAM’s retention of, and agreements with, the subcontractor.
Citigroup is cooperating fully in the SEC’s investigation and is seeking to resolve the matter in discussions with the SEC Staff. On January 20, 2005, Citigroup stated that it had established an aggregate reserve of $196 million ($25 million in the third quarter of 2004 and $171 million in the fourth quarter of 2004) related to its discussions with the SEC Staff. Settlement negotiations are ongoing and any settlement of this matter with the SEC will require approval by the Citigroup Board and acceptance by the Commission.
Unless and until any settlement is consummated, there can be no assurance that any amount reserved by Citigroup will be distributed. Nor is there at this time any certainty as to how the proceeds of any settlement would be distributed, to whom any such distribution would be made, the methodology by which such distribution would be allocated, and when such distribution would be made.
Although there can be no assurance, Citigroup does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the funds. The Fund did not implement the contractual arrangement described above and will not receive any payments.

Tax Free Reserves Portfolio
N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S (unaudited)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Tax Free Reserves Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a no-load, non-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 shares of beneficial interest in the Portfolio. Citi Fund Management Inc. (the “Manager”) acts as the Investment Manager.
The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP)”. Estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from these estimates.
A. Investment Valuation. Money market instruments are valued at amortized cost, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), which approximates market 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 Fund’s use of amortized cost is subject to its compliance with certain conditions as specified under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act.
B. Investment Income and Expenses. Investment 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. Expenses of the Portfolio are accrued daily.
C. IncomeTaxes. The Portfolio is classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Portfolio is treated as an owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses and realized gains and losses of the Portfolio. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required. It is intended that the Portfolio’s assets will be managed so that an investor in the Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
D. Fees Paid Indirectly. The Portfolio’s custodian calculates its fees based on the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The fee is reduced according to a fee arrangement, which provides for custody fees to be reduced based on a formula developed to measure the value of cash deposited with the custodian by the Portfolio. This amount is shown as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations.
E. Other. Purchases, maturities and sales of money market instruments are accounted for on the date of the transaction.
2. Management Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Manager is responsible for overall management of the Portfolio’s business affairs, and has a Management agreement with the Portfolio. The Manager or an affiliate also provides certain administrative services to the Portfolio. These administrative services include providing general office facilities and supervising the overall administration of the Portfolio.
28
Tax Free Reserves Portfolio
N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S (unaudited) (continued)
The management fees paid to the Manager are accrued daily and payable monthly. The management fee is computed at the annual rate of 0.20% of the Funds’ average daily net assets. The management fee amounted to $1,601,745, of which $637,525 was voluntarily waived for the six months ended February 28, 2005. Such waiver is voluntary and may be terminated at any time at the discretion of the manager.
The Portfolio pays no compensation directly to any Trustee or any officer who is affiliated with the Manager, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Portfolio from the Manager or its affiliates. Certain of the officers and a Trustee of the Portfolio are officers and a director of the Manager or its affiliates.
3. Investment Transactions
Purchases, and maturities and sales of money market instruments, exclusive of securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements, aggregated $5,908,169,658 and $5,687,473,379, respectively, for the six months ended February 28, 2005.
4. Federal Income Tax Basis of Investment Securities
The cost of investment securities owned at February 28, 2005, for federal income tax purposes, amounted to $1,673,841,364.
5.Trustee Retirement Plan
The Trustees of the Portfolio have adopted a Retirement Plan for all Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Portfolio, within the meaning of the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, all Trustees are required to retire from the Board as of the last day of the calendar year in which the applicable Trustee attains age 75 (certain Trustees who had already attained age 75 when the Plan was adopted were required to retire effective December 31, 2003). Trustees may retire under the Plan before attaining the mandatory retirement age. Trustees who have served as Trustee of the Trust or any of the investment companies associated with Citigroup for at least ten years when they retire are eligible to receive the maximum retirement benefit under the Plan. The maximum retirement benefit is an amount equal to five times the amount of retainer and regular meeting fees payable to a Trustee during the calendar year ending on or immediately prior to the applicable Trustee’s retirement. Amounts under the Plan may be paid in installments or in a lump sum (discounted to present value). Benefits under the Plan are unfunded. Three former Trustees are currently receiving payments under the plan. In addition, two other former Trustees received a lump sum payment under the plan. The Portfolio’s allocable share of the expenses of the Plan for the six months ended February 28, 2005 was $29,185.
6.Additional Information
In connection with an investigation previously disclosed by Citigroup, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has notified Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), the Citigroup business unit that includes the funds’ investment manager and other investment advisory companies; Citicorp Trust Bank (“CTB”), an affiliate of CAM; Thomas W. Jones, the former CEO of CAM; and three other individuals, one of whom is an employee and two of whom are former employees of CAM, that the SEC Staff is considering recommending a civil injunctive action
29
Tax Free Reserves Portfolio
N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S (unaudited) (continued)
and/or an administrative proceeding against each of them relating to the creation and operation of an internal transfer agent unit to serve various CAM-managed funds.
In 1999, CTB entered the transfer agent business. CTB hired an unaffiliated subcontractor to perform some of the transfer agent services. The subcontractor, in exchange, had signed a separate agreement with CAM in 1998 that guaranteed investment management revenue to CAM and investment banking revenue to a CAM affiliate. The subcontractor’s business was later taken over by PFPC Inc., and at that time the revenue guarantee was eliminated and a one-time payment was made by the subcontractor to a CAM affiliate.
CAM did not disclose the revenue guarantee when the boards of various CAM-managed funds hired CTB as transfer agent. Nor did CAM disclose to the boards of the various CAM-managed funds the one-time payment received by the CAM affiliate when it was made. As previously disclosed, CAM has already paid the applicable funds, primarily through voluntary fee waivers, a total of approximately $17 million (plus interest), which is the amount of the revenue received by Citigroup relating to the revenue guarantee.
In addition, the SEC Staff has indicated that it is considering recommending action based on the adequacy of the disclosures made to the fund boards that approved the transfer agency arrangement, CAM’s initiation and operation of, and compensation for, the transfer agent business and CAM’s retention of, and agreements with, the subcontractor.
Citigroup is cooperating fully in the SEC’s investigation and is seeking to resolve the matter in discussions with the SEC Staff. On January 20, 2005, Citigroup stated that it had established an aggregate reserve of $196 million ($25 million in the third quarter of 2004 and $171 million in the fourth quarter of 2004) related to its discussions with the SEC Staff. Settlement negotiations are ongoing and any settlement of this matter with the SEC will require approval by the Citigroup Board and acceptance by the Commission.
Unless and until any settlement is consummated, there can be no assurance that any amount reserved by Citigroup will be distributed. Nor is there at this time any certainty as to how the proceeds of any settlement would be distributed, to whom any such distribution would be made, the methodology by which such distribution would be allocated, and when such distribution would be made.
Although there can be no assurance, Citigroup does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the funds. The Portfolio did not implement the contractual arrangement described above and will not receive any payments.
