                       Virginia SNAP(sm) Semi-Annual Report

SNAP(sm) In Review

Welcome to 2000! We are happy to provide the financial statements for SNAP(sm)
Fund--a series of Select Money Market Trust.

Performance

For the six-month period ended December 31, 1999, performance of the SNAP(sm)
Fund continued to exceed that of its benchmark, the IBC First Tier Institutional
Average, ("the average").* The six-month total return for the SNAP(sm) Fund was
2.73%, net of expenses, compared to 2.54% for the average, which is also net of
expenses. The one year return for the period ended December 31, 1999 on the
SNAP(sm) and the average were 5.28% and 4.90%, respectively.**

As of December 31, 1999, the Fund's average days to maturity was extended to 45
days as compared to 43 days at December 31, 1998.+

Economic Outlook

In the first half of 1999 the economy slowed down a bit from recent years, but
gained significant momentum in the second half of the year. The fixed income
markets were characterized by relative instability in the money markets by
Federal Reserve Policy uncertainty, and consequently higher short-term interest
rates. The economy expanded 3.7% in the first quarter and just under 2.0% in the
second quarter. However, in the third and fourth quarters the economy grew by
over 4.0%, raising inflationary fears.

The consumer was the key driving force during 1999. Consumer spending remained
robust throughout the second half of the year. Housing starts were the strongest
of any year in the current expansion, despite increasing mortgage rates during
the year. The unemployment rate reached its lowest level in over 30 years,
falling to 4.1%. Generally, wage and price pressures have traditionally begun to
develop at much higher unemployment rates than exist today. However, despite the
tight labor markets, wage and price inflation have not increased significantly.
Consumer price inflation rose 2.0% in the second half of 1999, near its 33-year
low. The primary reason for this lack of inflationary pressures has been a
technology-led rise in productivity. This increase in productivity growth has
helped to hold down production costs, which has contributed to the lack of
inflation. Regardless of the lack of inflation, The Federal Reserve Open Market
Committee, ("FOMC") increased the Fed Funds

target rate to 5.50% in the second half of the year, with 25 basis point
increases in August and November. The FOMC cited continuing economic strength
and concerns about inflationary pressures as the motivation for their preemptive
move. Although there are not significant signs of inflation, the Fed felt it was
necessary to "tap on the brakes" of the economy.

As money market rates continued to rise during the final two quarters of 1999,
we extended the average maturity of the fund to take advantage of the higher
returns. Securities with maturities between 12 and 13 months continue to be the
real value in the short end of the market. The market has priced in an
additional 75 basis points in rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. We believe that
there is a significant advantage to purchasing longer-term fixed rate securities
to capture this anomaly. Yields already reflect the higher anticipated short-
term rates, therefore compensating the investor substantially until the
potential rate increases take place. If 75 basis points in rate increases do not
occur in the coming months, we are positioned to reap the benefits. The
beginning of the new millennium will be interesting for the fixed income
markets.

The overriding fear in the money markets at the close of 1999 was concerns over
Y2K. The majority of these fears turned out to be overstated. Most money market
funds, including ours, were forced to hold abnormally large cash positions in
order to accommodate potential withdrawals. This left most investors scrambling
to invest cash at the end of the year. There was very little supply in the
short-end of the market, coupled with very strong demand. Normally rates tend to
spike higher at year-end; however at the end of 1999 overnight rates were
extremely low. These lower rates only lasted for the final week of the year and
did not impact the strong performance of the fund.

The fixed income markets will likely have many "hiccups" in the months ahead.
The continued uncertainty over Fed policy, coupled with rising inflationary
fears will result in volatile interest rates. Policy makers will need to assess
whether or not productivity growth will remain high enough to continue placing
downward pressure on inflation. Any indication that productivity growth is
fading or inflation is building will likely cause the Federal Reserve to
continue their tightening policy. It appears that the market continues to push
the Fed to raise rates further.

The 2000 SNAP(sm) Annual User's Conference

This year, Mentor will host our Annual SNAP(sm) User's Conference on Thursday,
April 20, 2000, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond,
Virginia. The conference was extremely well attended last year, and the positive
responses to our conference questionnaire indicated that many of you would
choose this location again.

The day will include discussions on many current topics relating to the
investment of municipal bond proceeds and arbitrage management. Attendees are
invited to join us for a continental breakfast and a seated lunch. Look for
invitations and a complete agenda to be mailed out in March. We look forward to
seeing you on April 20th at the Jefferson!

Al Samper Appointed to VCBA Board

We at Mentor wish to congratulate SNAP(sm)'s own Al Samper on his appointment to
the Board of the Virginia College Building Authority. The Authority's 21st
Century, Pooled Bond, and Private Colleges Programs provide Virginia colleges
and universities with cost-effective financing options. We are confident that
Al's experience and knowledge in municipal finance will be an asset to the Board
as they move forward with their programs.

SNAP Spotlight
Mentor Introduces New Associate

Please join us in welcoming Farrah Stone to the SNAP(sm) relationship management
team.

In her new role Farrah will serve as Arbitrage Analyst, with responsibility for
producing arbitrage spend-down and rebate liability estimate reports, assisting
Participants in evaluating investment alternatives, and providing oversight for
the Program's fund accounting functions.

Farrah comes to us with a strong public sector background that uniquely
qualifies her for the responsibilities of her new role. She joins us from the
Virginia Department of the Treasury where she was a Policy Analyst in the Debt
Management Division. In that capacity she was responsible for the planning,
structuring and issuing of General Obligation and appropriation-supported bonds.
She was also the day-to-day coordinator of the Master Equipment Leasing Program.

According to Claire Morris, who is responsible for overseeing all client service
aspects of Mentor's relationship with SNAP(sm) clients, "Since we were awarded
the SNAP(sm) contract for an additional five years in 1999, it has become
increasingly clear to us how critical the Arbitrage Analyst role is to our
success. Only by having the right individual in this function will we be able to
achieve the high service standards required and deserved by SNAP(sm) clients. In
Farrah we have found someone who combines excellent interpersonal skills with an
extremely strong technical background. We believe that she will be a great
addition to our team."

Farrah received her BA degree in Government from the College of William and Mary
and is currently pursuing a Masters in Public Administration at Virginia
Commonwealth University.

                                                                               3

SNAP(sm) Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
December 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note 1: Organization

SNAP Fund (the "Fund"), is a series of the Evergreen Select Money Market Trust
(the "Trust"), a Delaware business trust, organized on September 18, 1997. The
Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. On July
24, 1995, the Fund commenced operations through an exchange of shares with the
Virginia State Non-Arbitrage Program ("SNAP") in the amount of $628,335,685.
Prior to October 15, 1999, the Fund was organized as a series of the Mentor
Institutional Trust, a Massachusetts business trust.

Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(a) Valuation of Securities

As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and certain conditions therein,
securities are valued utilizing the amortized cost method. The amortized cost of
an instrument is determined by valuing it at original cost and thereafter
assuming a constant accretion of any discount or amortization of any premium
from its face value at a constant rate until maturity.

(b) Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral
for repurchase agreements are held in a segregated account by the custodian on
the Fund's behalf. Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is
held at the counterparty's custodian in a segregated account for the benefit of
the Fund and the counterparty. Each Fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral
daily and will require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event
the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the
repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. Each Fund will only enter into
repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions, which are
deemed by the investment advisor to be creditworthy pursuant to guidelines
established by the Board of Trustees.

(c) Security Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after
the trade date. Realized gains and losses are computed on the identified cost
basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion
of discounts and amortization of premiums.

(d) Federal Taxes

The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated
investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). Thus, the Fund will not incur any federal income tax liability since it
expects to distribute all of its net investment company taxable income and net
capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. The Fund also intends to avoid any
excise tax liability by making the required distributions under the Code.
Accordingly, no provision for federal taxes is required. To the extent that
realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the
Fund's policy not to distribute such gains.

(e) Distributions

Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any,
for the Fund are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions to shareholders
are recorded at the close of business on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gains distributions to shareholders are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles.

(f) Organization Expenses

Organization expenses of the Fund are amortized to operations over a five-year
period on a straight-line basis.

Note 3: Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Affiliated Transactions

Mentor Investment Advisors, LLC ("Mentor Advisors"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of First Union Corporation ("First Union"), serves as investment advisor to the
Fund. In return, the Fund pays Mentor Advisors an advisory fee that is computed
daily and paid monthly. The advisory fee for the Fund is determined by applying
percentage rates starting at 0.08% and declining to 0.04% per annum as net
assets increase, to the Fund's average daily net assets.

Note 4: Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting for Investments and
Investment Pools

Governmental accounting standards state that credit risk is the risk that an
Investor may not be able to obtain possession of its investment instrument or
collateral at maturity. A portfolio of a subject entity, is required to be
characterized into certain categories. Risk category 1 includes investments that
are insured or registered or for which the securities are held by the Investor
or its agent in the Investor's name. Risk category 2 includes uninsured or
unregistered investments for which the securities are held by the broker's or
dealer's trust department or agent in the Investor's name. Risk category 3
includes uninsured or unregistered investments for which the securities are held
by the broker or dealer, or by its trust department or agent but not in the
Investor's name. All investments held at December 31, 1999 are in risk category
1.

Note 5: Capital Share Transactions

Net assets consist entirely of paid-in-capital applicable to 1,162,537,325,
$0.001 par value, shares of beneficial interest outstanding. An unlimited number
of shares have been authorized for issuance.

Note 6: Special Meeting of Shareholders
