DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
ItOs a real pleasure to present to you the 1995 Semiannual Report for
New England Money Market Funds, containing your portfolio managersO
commentaries and complete financial information.
FAVORABLE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN 1995
In 1995 subdued economic growth with little or no inflation created a
very favorable backdrop for the bond and stock markets. Long term
interest rates dipped on the positive inflation news, with the yield
on the 30-year Treasury bond falling to a low of 5.95% at year end.
The stock market, fueled by lower interest rates and solid corporate
earnings growth, advanced 37.6%, as measured by the Standard & PoorOs
500 Index,* for its best showing since 1958. As interest rates
declined throughout the year, money market yields stabilized, after
having risen sharply in 1994.
NEW ENGLAND FUNDS - WHERE THE BEST MINDS MEET
Over this past year we launched our new corporate identity - Where the
Best Minds Meet -which we believe reflects the essence of New England
Funds. Our unique multiple adviser structure brings together some of
the best investment minds in the business. As recent examples,
consider New England Star Advisers Fund, managed by four prominent
equity advisers, and New England Star Worldwide Fund, a global fund
introduced this January which builds off the Star Advisers concept.
In addition, last May we launched New England Strategic Income Fund,
under the management of Dan Fuss of Loomis Sayles. One of the
industryOs most respected managers, Dan Fuss was named 1995Os OBond
Fund Manager of the YearO by Morningstar(TM) for his past record of
accomplishment in fund management at Loomis Sayles.**
* Standard & PoorOs 500 is an unmanaged index representing 500 major
companies, the majority of which are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange.
** Morningstar is a third party, independent mutual fund rating
service.

1995 DALBAR AWARD FOR SERVICE EXCELLENCE
Where the Best Minds Meet also refers to your financial adviser and
all the people at New England Funds who provide you with quality
service. We are proud to report that in recognition of our ongoing
quality initiatives, New England Funds has been named a 1995 Quality
Tested Service Seal Winner by DALBAR, an independent mutual fund
service rating company. The coveted DALBAR award was given to only
seven companies for Oproviding the highest tier of service excellence
in the mutual fund industry.O
OUTLOOK FOR 1996
Looking ahead, we believe interest rates are likely to remain flat as
the economy continues on its slow, steady, non-inflationary growth
path. In this benign interest rate environment, we do not expect to
see higher money market yields. As always, we recommend that you
review your asset allocation program with your financial adviser, then
remain committed to that program to carry out its objectives.
We believe you will find your portfolio managerOs commentary
informative. If you have any questions or comments, please contact
your financial adviser or New England Funds directly at 800-225-5478.
Also, please contact New England Funds for a prospectus on any of the
funds mentioned above. The prospectus details investment objectives
and risks, as well as management fees and expenses. You should read
it carefully before investing or sending money.
Sincerely,

1995 ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
In 1995 money market yields stabilized, after sharply rising
throughout 1994 as short-term rates headed upwards. In 1994, the
Federal Reserve Board hiked short-term rates seven times in an effort
to slow down the economy. But by mid-1995, economic growth had
tapered off, easing inflationary pressures and leading the markets to
anticipate possible interest rate cuts by the Fed. Long-term rates,
which are market driven, dipped dramatically throughout the first half
of 1995, in anticipation of imminent Fed easing. Finally, in July and
then again in December, the Fed moved to lower short-term rates by one-
quarter of a percentage point, signalling its belief that the economy
was on a slow growth, non-inflationary path.
During the year, money market yields, which tend to lag short-term
rates, stabilized in a narrow range. Meanwhile, total assets in money
market funds continued to increase as investors sought out the safety
and liquidity that money market funds offer.(1)

NEW ENGLAND CASH MANAGEMENT TRUST - MONEY MARKET SERIES AND
U.S. GOVERNMENT SERIES
Portfolio Manager: J. Scott Nicholson,
Back Bay Advisors, L.P.(R)
HOW YOUR FUND PERFORMED
The year-end yields of New England Cash Management Trust reflect the
overall drop in interest rates since the beginning of 1995. As of
December 31, 1995, the 7-day yield for the Money Market Series was
4.92%, while the 7-day yield for the U.S. Government Series was 4.71%.
The current yields for both Series continue to compare favorably with
the average bank money market deposit accounts (MMDAs), which were
yielding 3.23% at year end. (Source: Wall Street Journal, 1/4/96).(1)
HOW WE POSITIONED YOUR FUND
Throughout the year we correctly anticipated a prolonged period of low
inflation and declining interest rates. Consequently, we lengthened
considerably the average maturities of both Series to allow us to lock
in higher yields for as long as possible. At year end, the average
maturity of the Money Market Series was about 76 days, compared to 26
days at the end of 1994. The U.S. Government SeriesO average maturity
was just a few days less than that of the Money Market Series.
No matter what the economic climate and portfolio maturity, we manage
both funds conservatively at all
<PAGE>

times, following strict investment guidelines to seek high current
income and stability.1 The U.S. Government Series offers investors an
added measure of credit safety by investing solely in instruments
backed by the U.S. government. The U.S. government guarantee applies
to the underlying securities and not to shares of the Fund.
OUTLOOK FOR OUR SHAREHOLDERS
We believe that the combination of slow economic growth and benign
inflation will continue over the next several months, prompting the
Federal Reserve Board to lower rates in order to sustain the current
rate of growth. Indeed, the Fed moved to lower rates in early January
1996, shortly after the end of this reporting period. The balanced
budget agreement, if achieved, should lead to reduced federal
spending, helping to reduce inflationary pressures. With this outlook,
we will maintain longer average maturities for both series, to help
sustain current income and minimize the impact of declining interest
rates.

Portfolio Manager: John Maloney,
Back Bay Advisors, L.P.(R)
HOW YOUR FUND PERFORMED
We are pleased to report that your FundOs 1995 perfor-mance was
excellent compared to other tax exempt money market funds. At year
end, the yield of the Tax Exempt Money Market Trust was 4.18%, which
is equivalent to a 6.92% taxable yield for an investor in the maximum
federal tax bracket of 39.6%. This per-
<PAGE>
NEW ENGLAND MONEY MARKET FUNDS
formance placed the fund in the top third of the 125 tax exempt money
market funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, a leading mutual
fund monitoring service.(2)
PORTFOLIO POSITIONING
Throughout the year we managed the fund actively to help minimize the
impact of declining interest rates. Our primary strategy was to extend
the average maturity of the portfolio so that we could lock in the
higher yields for as long as possible. By the end of October, the
average maturity of the fund had risen to 65 days.
SUPPLY/DEMAND FORCES
As we explained in our June report, the tax exempt money market is
driven more by supply/demand dynamics than by interest rate moves.
This is especially apparent at year end, when dealers start offering
higher yields on their securities in order to clear out inventories.
As a result, the market can experience a brief increase in yields.
Your fund sought to capture that opportunity by increasing its
investment in Ofloaters,O securities whose yields reset daily or
weekly and that are very responsive to a changing yield environment.
This higher percentage of floaters in the portfolio had the effect of
shortening the FundOs average maturity to 44 days at year end.
OUTLOOK FOR OUR SHAREHOLDERS
Although it appears that slowing economic activity may translate to a
less robust 1996, our overall outlook for the economy is favorable. We
expect continued slow
<PAGE>
NEW ENGLAND MONEY MARKET FUNDS
but positive growth, with no threat of inflation. In this environment,
we anticipate that the Federal Reserve will maintain an accommodative
stance on interest rates. Indeed, the Fed moved to lower rates again
in early January, 1996 shortly after the end of this reporting period.
We will keep the maturity of the portfolio in the longer end of its
range, so that we can lock in higher yields for as long as possible.
We intend to maintain the FundOs high credit quality, investing only
in top tier municipal securities. You can have the peace of mind of
knowing that no matter what the direction of the political and
economic winds, your fund will continue offering a competitive level
of income free from federal income taxes.(3)

GLOSSARY FOR MUTUAL FUND INVESTORS
TOTAL RETURN - The change in value of a mutual fund investment over a
specific time period, assuming all earnings are reinvested in
additional shares of the fund. Expressed as a percentage.
INCOME DISTRIBUTIONS - Payments to shareholders resulting from the net
interest or dividend income earned by a fundOs portfolio.
CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS - Payments to shareholders of profits
earned from selling securities in a fundOs portfolio. Capital gains
distributions are usually paid once a year.
YIELD - The rate at which a fund pays income. Yield calculations for 7-
day periods are standardized among mutual funds, based on a formula
developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
MATURITY - Refers to the period of time before principal repayment on
a bond is due. A bond fundOs Oaverage maturityO refers to the weighted
average of the maturities of all the individual bonds in the
portfolio.
DURATION - A measure, stated in years, of a bond or bond fundOs
sensitivity to interest rates. Duration is a means to directly compare
the volatility of different instruments. As a general rule, for every
1% move in interest rates, a fund is expected to fluctuate in value as
indicated by its duration. For example, if interest rates fall by 1%,
a fund with a duration of 4 years should rise in value 4%. Conversely,
the fund should decline by 4% if interest rates rise 1%.
TREASURIES - Negotiable debt obligations of the U.S. government,
secured by its full faith and credit. The income from treasury
securities is exempt from state and local income taxes, but not from
federal income taxes. There are three types of treasuries: Bills
(maturity of 3-12 months), Notes (maturity of 1-10 years) and Bonds
(maturity of 10-30 years).
MUNICIPAL BOND - A debt security issued by a state or municipality to
finance public expenditures. Interest payments are exempt from federal
taxes and in most cases from state and local income taxes. The two
main types are General Obligation (GO) Bonds, which are backed by the
full faith and credit and taxing powers of the municipality; and
Revenue Bonds, supported by the revenues from a municipal enterprise,
such as airports and toll bridges.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
(UNAUDITED)
1. New England Cash Management Trust and New England Tax Exempt Money
Market Trust (the OTrustsO) are registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified, open-end investment
companies.
NEW ENGLAND CASH MANAGEMENT TRUST- The TrustOs Agreement and
Declaration of Trust permits the issuance of an unlimited number of
shares of beneficial interest, no par value, in separate Series, with
shares of each Series representing interests in a separate portfolio
of assets. Effective September 13, 1993, each Series began offering
two classes of shares, Class A and Class B, in order to enable
investors in either class of the New England Stock or Bond Funds to
invest in money market shares. Class A and B shares are identical
except that Class B shares may be subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge upon redemption if the shares were acquired by exchange
of Class B shares of a stock or bond fund. Each Series is separately
managed and has its own objectives and policies. The Trust is
comprised of the Money Market Series and the
U.S. Government Series.
NEW ENGLAND TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET TRUST-The TrustOs Agreement and
Declaration of Trust permits the issuance of an unlimited number of
shares of beneficial interest, no par value. Effective September 13,
1993, the Trust began offering two classes of shares, Class A and
Class B, in order to enable investors in either class of the New
England Stock or Bond Funds to invest in money market shares. Class A
and B shares are identical except that Class B shares may be subject
to a contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption if the shares
were acquired by exchange of Class B shares of a stock or bond fund.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Trusts in the preparation of the financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles for investment companies.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
A. SECURITY VALUATION.The Trusts employ the amortized cost method of
security valuation as set forth in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 which, in the opinion of the trustees of each
Trust, represents the fair value of the particular security. The
amortized cost of a security is determined by valuing it at original
cost and thereafter amortizing any discount or premium on a straight-
line basis.
B. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.The Trusts, through their custodian, receive
delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing repurchase
agreements. It is the TrustsO policy that the market value of the
collateral be at least equal to 100% of the repurchase price. Back Bay

(UNAUDITED)
Advisors, L.P. (OBack Bay AdvisorsO) is responsible for determining
that the value of the collateral is at all times at least equal to the
repurchase price. In connection with transactions in repurchase
agreements, if the seller defaults and the value of the collateral
declines or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization
of the collateral by the Trusts may be delayed or limited.
C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT Income.Security
transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to
buy or sell is executed) and interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis. In determining the net gain or loss on securities sold,
the cost of securities is determined on the identified cost basis.
D. WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES.Delivery and payment for securities
purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis can take place
one month or more after the date of the transaction. The securities so
purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. At
December 31, 1995, there were no when-issued purchase commitments for
the Tax Exempt Money Market Trust.
E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.Each Series of the Cash Management Trust and
the Tax Exempt Money Market Trust intends to meet the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies, and to distribute to its shareholders all of its taxable
and tax exempt income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income
tax has been made.
F. DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS.Dividends are declared daily to
shareholders of record at the time and are paid monthly.
G. OTHER.Each of the Trusts invests primarily in a portfolio of money
market instruments maturing in 397 days or less whose ratings are
within the two highest ratings categories of a nationally recognized
rating agency or, if not rated, are believed to be of comparable
quality. The ability of the issuers of the securities held by the
Trusts to meet their obligations may be affected by foreign economic,
political and legal developments in the case of foreign banks or of
foreign branches or subsidiaries of U.S. banks, or domestic economic
developments in a specific industry, state or region.
2. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS.
For the period ended December 31, 1995:
NEW ENGLAND CASH MANAGEMENT TRUST-Purchase and sales or maturities of
short-term obligations, including securities purchased subject to
repurchase agreements, aggregated $2,185,694,938 and $2,185,440,908,
