LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

==============================================================================
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
The past year has been a volatile one for the fixed income markets. 1995 was
characterized by relatively weak economic growth, moderate inflation and
declining bond yields. However, the economy and the bond market changed course
in February 1996. The release of a stronger-than-expected February employment
report fueled fears that a strengthening economy could produce inflationary
pressures. Subsequent reports resulted in a broad-based sell-off which
continued through the first quarter of 1996.
The strength of the economy was confirmed in the second quarter by a variety
of statistical reports. While the pace of economic expansion was clearly above
the Federal Reserve Board's target rate, inflation remained subdued. Investors
found this "robust growth/moderate inflation" environment disconcerting. As a
result, bond prices vacillated in a wide range throughout the second quarter.
Our outlook regarding the fixed income markets is positive over the
longer-term. It appears that the spurt of economic growth witnessed in the
first half of 1996 will moderate as we head into the third and fourth
quarters. In the interim, however, we expect continued volatility as investors
grapple with the direction of the economy and the potential for increasing
inflation. Our investment tactic in this environment remains neutral to
slightly defensive with a focus on higher yield and competitive total return.
For those investors sitting on the sidelines, one of the tax-free money funds
described below may be an appropriate place for your money while waiting for
an indication of market direction.
OHIO TAX-FREE MONEY FUND
The Fund seeks high current income exempt from federal income tax and Ohio
personal income tax, consistent with stability, liquidity and convenience. The
Fund's 7-day effective yield as of June 30, 1996 was 2.94%, which is
equivalent to a taxable yield of 5.26%, assuming the maximum combined federal
and Ohio income tax bracket for individuals.
TAX-FREE MONEY FUND
The Fund seeks high current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent
with stability, liquidity and convenience. The Fund's 7-day effective yield as
of June 30, 1996 was 2.89%, which is equivalent to a taxable yield of 4.78%,
assuming the maximum federal income tax bracket for individuals.
CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE MONEY FUND
The Fund seeks high current income exempt from federal and California income
taxes, consistent with stability, liquidity and convenience. The Fund's 7-day
effective yield as of June 30, 1996 was 2.78%, which is equivalent to a
taxable yield of 5.17%, assuming the maximum combined federal and California
income tax bracket for individuals.
<PAGE>
ROYAL PALM FLORIDA TAX-FREE MONEY FUND
The Fund seeks high current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent
with stability, liquidity and convenience, by investing primarily in
high-quality, short-term Florida municipal obligations, the value of which is
exempt from the Florida intangible personal property tax. The Fund's 7-day
effective yield as of June 30, 1996 was 2.92%, which is equivalent to a
taxable yield of 4.83%, assuming the maximum federal income tax bracket for
individuals.
Midwest Group's tax-free bond funds are detailed on the following pages in the
Management Discussion and Analysis section.
The Midwest Group remains committed to providing conservative and quality
opportunities to help investors meet their financial goals. By putting our
values to work for you on a continuous basis, we hope to ensure not only the
success of our future, but most importantly, the success of yours.
Sincerely,
/s/ Robert H. Leshner

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
==============================================================================
The Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund seeks high current income exempt from
federal income tax, consistent with protection of capital, by investing
primarily in high-grade municipal obligations maturing within twenty years or
less with a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity under normal market
conditions of between three and ten years. To the extent consistent with the
Fund's primary objective, capital appreciation is a secondary objective. For
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, the Fund's total returns (excluding the
impact of applicable sales loads) were 4.51% and 4.00% for Class A shares and
Class C shares, respectively. The yield for the Fund's Class A shares at June
30, 1996 was 4.54%, which is equivalent to a taxable yield of 7.52%, and the
yield for the Fund's Class C shares was 4.14%, which is equivalent to a
taxable yield of 6.85%, assuming the maximum federal income tax bracket for
individuals.
The Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund seeks the highest level of interest income
exempt from federal income tax and Ohio personal income tax, consistent with
protection of capital. The Fund invests primarily in high and medium-quality
long-term Ohio municipal obligations which are protected by insurance
guaranteeing the payment of principal and interest in the event of a default.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, the Fund's total returns (excluding
the impact of applicable sales loads) were 5.05% and 4.44% for Class A shares
and Class C shares, respectively. The yield for the Fund's Class A shares at
June 30, 1996 was 4.91%, which is equivalent to a taxable yield of 8.79%, and
the yield for the Fund's Class C shares was 4.62%, which is equivalent to a
taxable yield of 8.27%, assuming the maximum combined federal and Ohio income
tax bracket for individuals.
Interest rates continued to decline in the second half of 1995 in response to
moderating economic growth and declining fears of inflation. Entering 1996,
interest rates were expected to remain low, aided by a slow economy. However,
this scenario changed dramatically in February as strong employment growth
indicated the economy was performing much better than expected. In the months
that followed, employment continued to surge, as did the overall economy.
Yields on bonds rose as investors anticipated a subsequent rise in the level
of inflation. Thus far, concerns about inflation have proved unwarranted.
Nevertheless, the damage had been done and interest rates at June 30, 1996
were higher by about 1% than they were at the beginning of 1996.
Performance in the municipal bond market during the first six months of the
fiscal year lagged the performance of the Treasury market. This was due
primarily to the persistent discussions regarding tax reform. The fears that
municipal income would lose its tax preference kept many investors out of the
market. As 1996 began and tax reform appeared less likely, investors began to
recognize the value of municipals compared to Treasuries. This caused
municipal bonds to outperform Treasury issues over the next six months. For
the twelve months ended June 30, 1996, the Lehman Brothers 5-Year Municipal
G.O. Bond Index returned 5.41% while the Lehman Brothers 15-Year Municipal
G.O. Bond Index returned 7.20%.
Performance of the Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund was favorable in the first
half of the fiscal year as the average maturity was lengthened to take
advantage of declining interest rates. Conversely, the sharp reversal of
interest rates beginning in February 1996 negatively impacted the Fund's
performance versus the Lehman Brothers 5-Year Municipal G.O. Bond Index. We
have since shortened the average maturity of the Fund and continue to focus on
high quality issues which we believe will help to buffer the impact of
volatile market swings.
The Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund performed comparably to the Lehman Brothers
15-Year Municipal G.O. Bond Index during the first six months of the fiscal
year. Again, the rise in interest rates experienced early in 1996, combined
with an average maturity slightly longer than the Index, had a detrimental
impact on the Fund's third quarter performance. Late in the fiscal year, we
initiated portfolio sales designed to generate tax losses for the Fund to
offset realized gains and, at the same time, shorten the Fund's average
maturity. This helped the Fund outperform the Index during the quarter ended
June 30, 1996.
Looking ahead, the economy appears strong as evidenced by robust second
quarter growth and employment which has continued to grow. Although there have
been some recent signs that the economy may be slowing, most notably in the
housing and manufacturing sectors, more evidence is necessary to confirm a
changing trend. As 1996 progresses, we believe that the economy will weaken
and interest rates will move lower; however, the timing of the slowdown
remains in question.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1996
==============================================================================
1. ORGANIZATION
Midwest Group Tax Free 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 Trust was established as a Massachusetts business
trust under a Declaration of Trust dated April 13, 1981. The Declaration of
Trust, as amended, permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares
of six funds: the Ohio Tax-Free Money Fund, the Tax-Free Money Fund, the
California Tax-Free Money Fund, the Royal Palm Florida Tax-Free Money Fund,
the Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund and the Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund
(individually a Fund and collectively the Funds).
The Ohio Tax-Free Money Fund seeks the highest level of current income exempt
from federal income tax and Ohio personal income tax, consistent with
liquidity and stability of principal. The Fund invests primarily in a
portfolio of high-quality, short-term Ohio municipal obligations.
The Tax-Free Money Fund seeks the highest level of interest income exempt from
federal income tax, consistent with protection of capital, by investing
primarily in high-quality, short-term municipal obligations.
The California Tax-Free Money Fund seeks the highest level of interest income
exempt from federal and California income taxes, consistent with liquidity and
stability of principal, by investing primarily in high-quality, short-term
California municipal obligations.
The Royal Palm Florida Tax-Free Money Fund seeks the highest level of interest
income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with liquidity and stability
of principal, by investing primarily in high-quality, short-term Florida
municipal obligations the value of which is exempt from the Florida intangible
personal property tax.
The Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund seeks high current income exempt from
federal income tax, consistent with protection of capital, by investing
primarily in high-grade municipal obligations maturing within twenty years or
less with a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity under normal market
conditions of between three and ten years. To the extent consistent with the
Fund's primary objective, capital appreciation is a secondary objective.
The Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund seeks the highest level of interest income
exempt from federal income tax and Ohio personal income tax, consistent with
protection of capital. The Fund invests primarily in high and medium-quality,
long-term Ohio municipal obligations which are protected by insurance
guaranteeing the payment of principal and interest in the event of a default.
The Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund and the Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund each
offer two classes of shares: Class A shares (sold subject to a maximum
front-end sales load of 2% for the Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund and 4% for
the Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund and a distribution fee of up to .25% of average
daily net assets of each Fund) and Class C shares (sold subject to a maximum
contingent deferred sales load of 1% if redeemed within a one-year period from
purchase and a distribution fee of up to 1% of average daily net assets). Each
Class A and Class C share of the Fund represents identical interests in the
Fund's investment portfolio and has the same rights, except that (i) Class C
shares bear the expenses of higher distribution fees, which is expected to
cause Class C shares to have a higher expense ratio and to pay lower dividends
than Class A shares; (ii) certain other class specific expenses will be borne
solely by the class to which such expenses are attributable; and (iii) each
class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its own
distribution arrangements.
<PAGE>
The Royal Palm Florida Tax-Free Money Fund offers two classes of shares: Class
A shares (Retail shares), sold subject to a distribution fee of up to .25% of
average daily net assets, and Class B shares (Institutional shares) sold
without a distribution fee. Each Retail and Institutional share of the Fund
represents identical interests in the Fund's investment portfolio and has the
same rights, except that (i) Retail shares bear the expenses of distribution
fees, which is expected to cause Retail shares to have a higher expense ratio
and to pay lower dividends than Institutional shares; (ii) certain other class
specific expenses will be borne solely by the class to which such expenses are
attributable; (iii) each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
matters affecting only that class; and (iv) Retail shares are subject to a
lower minimum initial investment requirement and offer certain shareholder
services not available to Institutional shares such as check writing and
automatic investment and redemption plans.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the Trust's significant accounting policies:
Security valuation -- Ohio Tax-Free Money Fund, Tax-Free Money Fund,
California Tax-Free Money Fund and Royal Palm Florida Tax-Free Money Fund
securities are valued on the amortized cost basis, which approximates market.
This involves initially valuing a security at its original cost and thereafter
assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. This
method of valuation is expected to enable these Funds to maintain a constant
net asset value per share. The Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund and the Ohio
Insured Tax-Free Fund are valued at market and use an independent pricing
service which generally utilizes a computerized grid matrix of tax-exempt
securities and evaluations by its staff to determine what it believes is the
fair value of the securities. On limited occasions, if the valuation provided
by the pricing service ignores certain market conditions affecting the value
of a security or the pricing service cannot provide a valuation, the fair
value of the security will be determined in good faith consistent with
procedures established by the Board of Trustees.
Share valuation -- The net asset value per share of the Ohio Tax-Free Money
Fund, the Tax-Free Money Fund, the California Tax-Free Money Fund and the
Royal Palm Florida Tax-Free Money Fund is calculated daily. Net asset value
per share is calculated for each of these Funds by dividing the total value of
a Fund's assets, less liabilities, by its number of shares outstanding. The
offering price and redemption price per share is equal to the net asset value
per share.
The net asset value per share of each of the Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund
and the Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund is also calculated daily. Net asset value
per share is calculated for each class of a Fund by dividing the total value
of a Fund's assets attributable to that class, less liabilities attributable
to that class, by the number of shares of that class outstanding. The maximum
offering price of Class A shares of the Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund is
equal to net asset value per share plus a sales load equal to 2.04% of the net
asset value (or 2% of the offering price). The maximum offering price of Class
A shares of the Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund is equal to net asset value per
share plus a sales load equal to 4.17% of the net asset value (or 4% of the
offering price). The offering price of Class C shares of each Fund is equal to
the net asset value per share.
The redemption price per share of Class A shares and Class C shares of the
Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund and the Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund is equal to
the net asset value per share. However, Class C shares of each Fund are
subject to a contingent deferred sales load of 1% of the original purchase
price if redeemed within a one-year period from the date of purchase.
Investment income -- Interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts and
premiums on securities purchased are amortized in accordance with income tax
regulations which approximate generally accepted accounting principles.
<PAGE>
Distributions to shareholders -- Distributions from net investment income are
declared daily and paid on the last business day of each month. Net realized
short-term capital gains, if any, may be distributed throughout the year and
net realized long-term capital gains, if any, are distributed at least once
each year. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined
in accordance with income tax regulations.
Security transactions -- Security transactions are accounted for on the trade
date. Securities sold are valued on a specific identification basis.
Allocations between classes -- Investment income earned by the Royal Palm
Florida Tax-Free Money Fund, the Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund and the Ohio
Insured Tax-Free Fund is allocated daily to each class of shares based on the
percentage of the net asset value of settled shares of such class to the total
of the net asset value of settled shares of both classes of shares. Realized
capital gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation are
allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of
total net assets of the Fund. Class specific expenses are charged directly to
the class incurring the expense. Common expenses which are not attributable to
a specific class are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its
proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund.
Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Federal income tax -- It is each Fund's policy to comply with the special
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code available to regulated investment
companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so
qualifies and distributes at least 90% of its taxable net income, the Fund
will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed. Accordingly,
no provision for income taxes has been made. In addition, each Fund intends to
satisfy conditions which enable it to designate the interest income generated
by its investment in municipal securities, which is exempt from federal income
tax when received by the Fund, as exempt-interest dividends upon distribution
to shareholders.
<PAGE>
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated
investment companies, it is also each Fund's intention to declare as dividends
in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during
the calendar year) and 98% of its net realized capital gains (earned during
the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior
years.
The following information is based upon the federal income tax cost of
portfolio investments as of June 30, 1996:

The tax basis of investments for each Fund is equal to the amortized cost as
shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
As of June 30, 1996, the Ohio Tax-Free Money Fund, the Tax-Free Money Fund,
the California Tax-Free Money Fund, the Royal Palm Florida Tax-Free Money
Fund, the Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund and the Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund
had capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $709,
$1,338, $1,580, $1,198, $1,620,782 and $494, respectively, none of which
expire prior to June 30, 1999. These capital loss carryforwards may be
utilized in the current or future years to offset net realized capital gains
prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.
3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
For the year ended June 30, 1996, purchases and proceeds from sales and
maturities of investment securities, excluding short-term investments,
amounted to $28,765,136 and $45,159,470, respectively, for the Tax-Free
Intermediate Term Fund and $35,124,299 and $38,276,155, respectively, for the

States in which shares of the Trust are offered may impose an expense
limitation based upon net assets. The Adviser has agreed to reimburse each
Fund for expenses which exceed the most restrictive applicable expense
limitation of any state. No reimbursement was required from the Adviser with
respect to any Fund for the year ended June 30, 1996. However, in order to
reduce the operating expenses of the California Tax-Free Money Fund and the
Royal Palm Florida Tax-Free Money Fund, the Adviser voluntarily waived

30, 1996. In addition, in order to reduce the operating expenses of Class A

6. PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION
As of June 30, 1996, the Ohio Tax-Free Money Fund and the Ohio Insured
Tax-Free Fund were invested exclusively in debt obligations issued by the
State of Ohio and its political subdivisions, agencies, authorities and
instrumentalities and by other issuers the interest from which is exempt from
Ohio income tax. The California Tax-Free Money Fund was invested in debt
obligations issued by the State of California and its political subdivisions,
agencies, authorities and instrumentalities and by other issuers the interest
from which is exempt from California income tax. As of June 30, 1996, 77.4% of
the Royal Palm Florida Tax-Free Money Fund was invested in debt obligations
issued by the State of Florida and its political subdivisions, agencies,
authorities and instrumentalities and by other issuers the value of which is
exempt from the Florida intangible personal property tax. As of June 30, 1996,
19.5% of the portfolio securities of the Tax-Free Money Fund were concentrated
in the State of Ohio, 13.5% in the State of Minnesota and 10.2% in the State
of Florida. For information regarding portfolio composition by state for the
Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund as of June 30, 1996, see the Fund's Portfolio
of Investments.
As diversified Funds registered under the 1940 Act, it is the policy of the
Tax-Free Money Fund and the Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund that not more than
25% of the total assets of each such Fund be invested in securities of issuers
which individually comprise more than 5% of its total assets.
The Ohio Tax-Free Money Fund, the California Tax-Free Money Fund, the Royal
Palm Florida Tax-Free Money Fund and the Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund are each
non-diversified Funds under the 1940 Act. Thus, investments may be
concentrated in fewer issuers than those of a diversified fund. As of June 30,
1996, neither the Ohio Tax-Free Money Fund nor the Royal Palm Florida Tax-Free
Money Fund had concentrations of investments (10% or greater) in any one
issuer. The California Tax-Free Money Fund and the Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund
had 12.6% and 14.6% of their respective investments concentrated in the
securities of a single issuer as of June 30, 1996.
The Ohio Tax-Free Money Fund, the Tax-Free Money Fund, the California Tax-Free
Money Fund and the Royal Palm Florida Tax-Free Money Fund each invest in
municipal securities maturing in 13 months or less and having a short-term
rating in one of the top two ratings categories by at least two nationally
recognized statistical rating agencies (or by one such agency if a security is
rated by only that agency) or, if unrated, are determined by the Adviser,
under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be of comparable quality.
As of June 30, 1996, 46.9% of the Tax-Free Intermediate Term Fund's portfolio
securities were rated AAA/Aaa [using the higher of Standard & Poor's
Corporation (S&P) or Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's) ratings], 28.6%
were rated AA/Aa, 21.8% were rated A/A and 2.7% were not rated.
<PAGE>
As of June 30, 1996, 99.1% of the Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund's long-term
portfolio securities were either (1) insured by an insurance policy obtained
from a recognized insurer which carries a rating of AAA by S&P or Aaa by
Moody's, (2) guaranteed as to the payment of interest and principal by an
agency or instrumentality of the U.S. Government, or (3) secured as to the
payment of interest and principal by an escrow account consisting of
obligations of the U.S. Government. Four private insurers individually insure
more than 10% of the Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund's portfolio securities and
collectively insure 82.9% of its portfolio securities.
The concentration of investments for each Fund as of June 30, 1996, classified
by revenue source, was as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Logo: Arthur Andersen LLP
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of the Midwest Group Tax Free Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the
Ohio Tax-Free Money Fund, Tax-Free Money Fund, Tax-Free Intermediate Term
Fund, Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund, California Tax-Free Money Fund and Royal
Palm Florida Tax-Free Money Fund of the Midwest Group Tax Free Trust (a
Massachusetts business trust), including the portfolios of investments, as of
June 30, 1996, and the related statements of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in
the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated
thereon. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of June 30, 1996, by correspondence with custodians and brokers. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of the
Ohio Tax-Free Money Fund, Tax-Free Money Fund, Tax-Free Intermediate Term
Fund, Ohio Insured Tax-Free Fund, California Tax-Free Money Fund and Royal
Palm Florida Tax-Free Money Fund of the Midwest Group Tax Free Trust as of
June 30, 1996, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the
changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then
ended, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated thereon, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
