SEMI-ANNUAL MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT:
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
    With the exception of the crisis in Asia, and the turmoil in both the Middle
East and the White House, the investment landscape remains benevolent. Our
economy continues its expansionary trends, although in moderation, with both
inflation and interest rates apparently heading lower.
    Carnegie Capital Management Co. continues to hold fast to the policy of
investing in quality. Now, in our opinion, is not the time to "stretch" for
yield.
    Thank you for your continued support of the Carnegie Funds Group. Please
call or write with any comments or suggestions.
 
                                          Sincerely,
 
                                           [SIGNATURE]
                                          George R. Mateyo
                                          President

                      CARNEGIE FUNDS GROUP (THE "TRUSTS")
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE A -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    Liquid Capital Income Trust (LCI), Carnegie Government Securities Trust
(CGST) and Carnegie Tax Free Income Trust (CTF) (the "Money Funds") are money
market funds. The Trusts are open-end, diversified management investment
companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
    Carnegie Tax-Exempt Income Trust is a business trust organized under the
laws of the State of Ohio pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated September 19,
1985 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust offers
shares of beneficial interest in the Ohio General Municipal Fund ("Ohio
General"). Ohio General is managed in accordance with the investment objectives
and policies of the Fund.
    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Trusts. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
    SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Investment securities for LCI, CGST and CTF are
valued using the amortized cost method whereby a security is valued at cost
adjusted for the amortization of any premiums or discounts over the period until
maturity. The cost of portfolio securities is substantially the same for
financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.
    The value of municipal obligations held by Ohio General are furnished by
pricing services approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees using methods based
on market transactions for comparable securities and other factors which are
generally recognized by institutional traders. Short-term portfolio securities
are valued using the amortized cost method whereby a security is valued at cost
adjusted for the amortization of any premiums or discounts over the period until
maturity.
    SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security transactions
are accounted for on the trade date (date order to buy or sell is executed).
Interest income is determined on the basis of accrued interest and discount
earned (including original issue and market discount) and premium amortized.
Realized gains and losses, if any, on sales of securities are calculated on the
identified cost basis.
    REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- For LCI and CGST, all repurchase agreements are
collateralized by United States Government Securities and such collateral is in
the possession of the Trusts' custodian. Each Trust evaluates collateral daily.
The market value of collateral is noted in the Statement of Net Assets. Unless
otherwise noted, the purchase date for all repurchase agreements was January 29,
1999.
    FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- The Trusts have elected to fulfill the applicable
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code relating to regulated investment
companies by distributing all income to shareholders and, accordingly, no
provision for federal income taxes is required.
    Distributions paid by Ohio General from net investment income on tax-exempt
municipal obligations are not includable by shareholders as gross income for
federal income tax purposes because Ohio General has fulfilled certain
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies which will enable Ohio General to pay exempt-interest distributions.
For the year ended July 31, 1998, Ohio General had capital loss carryovers for
federal income tax purposes of $273,926. If unused, such amount will expire on
July 31, 1999.
    SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS -- Delivery and payment for
securities which have been purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis
can take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The securities
so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Trusts
instruct the custodian to segregate assets in a separate account with a market
value equal to the amount of its purchase commitment. At January 31, 1999, there
were no when-issued securities.
    CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- The Money
Funds' shares are sold in continuous public offerings and are redeemed at their
respective net asset values. LCI and CGST declare and pay dividends each
business day to distribute their net investment income and realized net
short-term capital gains, if any. CTF declares a dividend each business day and
pays the dividend monthly. For LCI and CGST, all such dividends are
automatically reinvested in additional shares of the applicable Trust at their
respective net asset values. For CTF, the shareholders may elect a cash
distribution of dividends or elect automatic reinvestment in additional shares
of the Trust at its net asset value.
    Ohio General shares are sold in a continuous public offering and are
redeemed at the net asset value. The Fund declares distributions each business
day and pays the distributions monthly. Shareholders may elect to reinvest such
distributions at the net asset value on the payment date or receive the
distributions in cash.
 
NOTE B -- MANAGEMENT FEE AND DISTRIBUTION FEE
 
    Pursuant to the investment advisory contract (the "Advisory Contract") in
effect between the Trusts and Carnegie Capital Management Company ("CCMC"), CCMC
is responsible for the management of the investments for the Trusts, and the
overall management of the business affairs, subject to the general supervision
and control of the Board of Trustees.
    CCMC performs and bears the cost of research, statistical analysis and
continuous supervision of the investment portfolios of the Trusts and furnishes

    LCI compensates CCMC with a management fee at an annual rate of .50% of
LCI's average daily net assets up to $700 million, .45% of the next $500
million, .40% of the next $800 million and .35% of the average daily net assets
exceeding $2.0 billion. For the six months ended January 31, 1999, LCI had
$51,658 payable to CCMC for management fees, and for the six months then ended
CCMC earned management fees of $386,457.
    CGST compensates CCMC with a management fee at an annual rate of .50% of
CGST's average daily net assets up to $100 million, .40% of the next $200
million and .35% of average daily net assets in excess of $300 million. For the

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
 
    In addition, in the event that the aggregate operating expenses of the Money
Funds and Ohio General (excluding certain expenses and, where permitted by
applicable state securities regulations, expenses incurred as part of the
Distribution Expense Plan described below) exceed any expense limitations
imposed by applicable state securities regulations, CCMC will reimburse 100% of
such excess expenses. There were no excess expenses for the six months ended
January 31, 1999.
    The Trustees have adopted a Distribution Expense Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act with respect to Ohio General. Pursuant to the Distribution
Expense Plan, Ohio General will pay to CFD quarterly a Distribution Fee at the
annual rate of .30 of 1% of the average daily net assets. If actual Distribution
Expenses incurred for the year are less than the yearly Distribution Fee, as
calculated above, the Ohio General will pay an amount equal to such Distribution
Expenses. CFD is required to use .20 of 1% of such fee to make continuing
payments to authorized securities dealers for their continuing distribution and
promotional assistance in connection with the sale of the shares of Ohio
General. The remaining portion of the Distribution Fee must be utilized by CFD
for expenses incurred which are primarily intended to result in the sale of
shares including, but not limited to, paying for the preparation, printing and
distribution of sales literature and other promotional materials to existing and
prospective investors and by directly or indirectly purchasing radio,
television, newspaper and other media advertising and conducting sales seminars,
sales contests, and other incentives. Distribution fees in the amount of $27,917
for the six months ended January 31, 1999 were waived for the Ohio General
Municipal Fund.
    For the six months ended January 31, 1999, CFD received sales charges paid
by the purchasers of Ohio General's shares of $8,762. Such sales charges are not
expenses of Ohio General and hence are not reflected in the accompanying
Statements of Operations. CCMC, CFD and the Trusts have certain officers in
common.
    LCI compensates independent trustees with a quarterly fee of $1,500. CGST,
CTF and Ohio General compensate trustees with a quarterly fee of $500.
