NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
==============================================================================

SEI TAX EXEMPT TRUST -- FEBRUARY 29, 1996 (UNAUDITED)


1.    ORGANIZATION
SEI Tax Exempt Trust (the "Trust"), was organized as a Massachusetts business
trust under a Declaration of Trust dated March 15, 1982.
     The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as an open-end management investment company with ten portfolios: the
Tax Free Portfolio, the California Tax Exempt Portfolio, the Institutional Tax
Free Portfolio, the Pennsylvania Tax Free Portfolio (collectively "the Money
Market Portfolios"), the Intermediate-Term Municipal Portfolio, the Pennsylvania
Municipal Portfolio, the Kansas Tax Free Income Portfolio, the California
Intermediate-Term Municipal Portfolio and the New York Intermediate-Term
Municipal Portfolio (collectively "the Fixed Income Portfolios"). The California
Intermediate-Term Municipal Portfolio and the New York Intermediate-Term
Municipal Portfolio had not commenced operations as of February 29, 1996. The
Trust is registered to offer four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C
and Class D. The Portfolios' prospectus provides a description of each
Portfolio's investment objectives, policies and strategies. The assets of each
portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the
portfolio in which shares are held.
     On December 15, 1995, the Bainbridge Tax Exempt Portfolio closed and all of
the outstanding shares of the Portfolio were redeemed. SEI Financial Management
Corporation voluntarily agreed to bear the costs associated with the liquidation
of the Portfolio which approximated $13,000 and included the amount of
unamortized organizational expenses.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Portfolios.
     SECURITY VALUATION -- Investment securities of each Money Market Portfolio
are stated at amortized cost which approximates market value. Under this
valuation method, purchase discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and
amortized ratably to maturity.
     The market value for each security for each Fixed Income Portfolio is
obtained from an independent pricing service. Debt obligations exceeding sixty
days to maturity for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
the most recently quoted bid price. Debt obligations with sixty days or less
remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost.
     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- It is each Portfolio's
intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and to
distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal
income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
     NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE -- The net asset value per share of each
Portfolio is calculated on each business day. In general, it is computed by
dividing the assets of each Portfolio, less its liabilities, by the number of
outstanding shares of the Portfolio. The maximum offering price per share for
the Class D shares of the Intermediate-Term Municipal Portfolio is equal to the
net asset value per share plus a sales load of 3.50%.
     CLASSES -- Class-specific expenses are borne by that class. Income,
expenses, and realized and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the
respective class on the basis of relative net asset value each day.
     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security transactions are
accounted for on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Costs used in
determining net realized capital gains and losses on the sale of investment
securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income is
recognized on the accrual basis. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities
held by the Fixed Income Portfolios are accreted and amortized to maturity using
the scientific interest method, which approximates the effective interest
method.
     DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions from net investment income
are declared on a daily basis and are payable on the first business day of the
following month for the Tax Free, the California Tax Exempt, the Bainbridge Tax
Exempt, the Institutional Tax Free and the Pennsylvania Tax-Free

<PAGE>


Portfolios. Distributions from net investment income are declared each month and
paid on the tenth day of the following month for all other Portfolios. Any net
realized capital gain on sales of securities after capital loss carryovers is
distributed to the shareholders of the Portfolios at least annually. Effective
in 1994, generally accepted accounting principles require that differences
between undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized capital
gains for financial reporting and tax purposes, if permanent, be reclassified
to/from paid in capital. Accordingly, the following permanent differences,
attributable to undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized
capital losses, have been reclassified to paid in capital.

                                  FROM CAPITAL    INVESTMENT
                                     LOSSES         INCOME
                                 -------------   ------------
Tax Free Portfolio                 $1,318,967     $1,078,360
Institutional Tax Free Portfolio       72,478         --

3.    TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Trust and SEI Financial Management Corporation (the "Manager") are parties
to a Management Agreement dated May 23, 1986, under which the manager provides
management, administrative and shareholder services to the Portfolios for an
annual fee of .36% each of the average daily net assets of the Tax Free,
Institutional Tax Free and Pennsylvania Tax Free Portfolios, .23% of the average
daily net asset value of the California Tax Exempt Portfolio, .39% of the
average daily net asset value of the Intermediate-Term Municipal Portfolio, .35%
each of the average daily net asset value of the Pennsylvania Municipal and .15%
of the average daily net asset value of the Kansas Tax Free Income Portfolio.
However, the Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its fee so
that total expenses of each Portfolio will not exceed certain annual expense
limitations.
     SEI Financial Services Company ("SFS") acts as the distributor of the
shares of the Trust under distribution plans which provide for the Trust to
reimburse SFS for certain distribution-related expenses incurred by SFS. With
the exception of the Kansas Tax Free Income Portfolio, such expenses for the
Class A shares of the Trust may not exceed a budget approved and monitored by
the Board of Trustees.
     In addition to providing for the reimbursement payments described above,
the Class B, C and D distribution plans provide for additional payments to the
Distributor. These additional payments may be used to compensate financial
institutions that provide distribution-related services to their customers.
Distribution-related expenses for the Class B, Class C and Class D shares of the
Money Market Portfolios may not exceed .60%, .80% and .55%, respectively.
Distribution-related expenses for the Class B, Class C and Class D shares of the
Fixed Income Portfolios may not exceed .60%, .80%, and .60%, respectively.
     Certain officers of the Trust are also officers and/or Directors of the
Manager. The Trust pays each unaffiliated Trustee an annual fee for attendance
at quarterly, interim and committee meetings. Compensation of officers and
affiliated Trustees is paid by the Manager.

4.    INVESTMENT ADVISORY

6.    LINE OF CREDIT
The Portfolios have a bank line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit
are secured by investment securities of the Portfolios equal to 110% of such
borrowings which may not exceed 10% of the Portfolios' total assets.

7.    CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Portfolios invest in debt instruments of municipal issuers. The issuers'
abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in
a specific state or region.
     The Trust invests in securities which include revenue bonds, tax exempt
commercial paper, tax and revenue anticipation notes, and general obligation
bonds. At February 29, 1996, the percentage of portfolio investments by each
revenue source were as follows.

     Many municipalities insure their obligations with insurance underwritten by
insurance companies which undertake to pay a holder, when due, the interest and
principal amount of an obligation if the issuer defaults on its obligation.
Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer,
there is no assurance that the insurance company will meet its obligations.
Also, some of the securities have credit enhancements (letters of credit or
guarantees issued by third party domestic or foreign banks or other
institutions). At February 29, 1996, the percentage of the Portfolios'
investments that were insured and the percentage of the Portfolios' investments
that had credit enhancements were as follows:
