SEI TAX EXEMPT TRUST -- FEBRUARY 28, 1999 (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 eleven funds: the Tax
Free Fund, the California Tax Exempt Fund, the Institutional Tax Free Fund, the
Pennsylvania Tax Free Fund, Ohio Tax Free Fund (collectively "the Money Market
Funds"), the Intermediate-Term Municipal Fund, the Pennsylvania Municipal Bond
Fund, the Massachusetts Municipal Bond Fund, the New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund,
the New York Municipal Bond Fund, and the California Municipal Bond Fund
(collectively "the Fixed Income Funds"). The Ohio Tax Free Fund had not
commenced operations as of February 28, 1999. the Trust is registered to offer
five classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class CNI. The
Funds' prospectus provides a description of each Fund's investment objectives,
policies and strategies. The assets of each fund are segregated and a
shareholder's interest is limited to the fund in which shares are held.

2.    Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds.
     SECURITY VALUATION -- Investment securities of each Money Market Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund'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.
     RECLASSIFICATION OF COMPONENTS OF NET ASSETS -- The timing and
characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are
determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, net investment
income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for the
reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.
These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent in nature. To the
extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to
paid-in-capital or accumulated net realized gain, as appropriate, in the period
that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences,
have been reclassified to/from the following accounts:

                                                        Accumulated
                            Paid-In-Capital           Realized Gain
        Fund                     (000)                     (000)
   --------------           --------------            --------------
  Institutional Tax Free         (7)                         7

     NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE -- The net asset value per share of each Fund is
calculated on each business day. In general, it is computed by dividing the
assets of each fund, less its liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares
of the Fund.
     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 Funds are accreted and amortized to maturity using the
scientific interest method, which approximates the effective interest method.
     USES OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- The
preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted

72

<PAGE>

     accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     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 Institutional
Tax Free, the Pennsylvania Tax Free, the Intermediate-Term Municipal, and the
Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Funds. Any net realized capital gain on sales of
securities after capital loss carryovers is distributed to the shareholders of
the Funds at least annually.

3.    Transactions with Affiliates
The Trust and SEI Investments Fund Management (the "Manager") are parties to a
Management Agreement dated May 23, 1986, under which the manager provides
management, administrative and shareholder services to the Funds for an annual
fee of .36% each of the average daily net assets of the Tax Free, Institutional
Tax Free and Pennsylvania Tax Free Funds, .23% of the average daily net asset
value of the California Tax Exempt Fund, .24% of the average daily net asset
value of the Intermediate-Term Municipal, Massachusetts Municipal Bond, New
Jersey Municipal Bond, New York Municipal Bond, and California Municipal Bond
Funds, .35% of the average daily net asset value of the Pennsylvania Municipal
Bond Fund. However, the Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its
fee so that total expenses of each Fund will not exceed certain annual expense
limitations.
     For the period September 1, 1995 to April 30, 1996, SEI Investments
Distribution Co. ("the Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI
Investments and a registered broker-dealer, acted as the distributor of the
shares of the Trust under distribution plans which provide for the Trust to
reimburse certain distribution-related expenses incurred by the Distributor.


     Effective May 1, 1996, SEI Investments Distribution Co. continued to act as
the distributor of the shares of the Trust under new Distribution Agreements.
The Trust has adopted plans under which firms, including the Distributor, that
provide shareholder and administrative services may receive compensation
thereof. The Class A, Class B, Class C and Class CNI shareholder servicing plans
(the "Shareholder Servicing Plans") provide for servicing fees payable to the
Distributor of up to .25% of the average daily net assets attributable to that
particular class. For Class CNI, no such fees were levied since the inception of
the plan. Such fees may be levied in the future when the Funds are operating
below their voluntary expense caps. In addition to the Shareholder Servicing
Plans, the Class B and Class C shares have adopted administrative services plans
that provide for administrative service fees payable to the Distributor of up to
 .05% and .25%, receptively, of the average daily nets assets attributable to
that class. The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for its Class D and Class
CNI shares pursuant to which a 12b-1 fee of up to .25% and .50%, respectively,
of the average daily net assets attributable to that particular class of Class D
and CNI Class shares will be paid to the Distributor. This payment may be used
to compensate financial institutions that provide distribution-related services
to their customers. Under each of the plans adopted by the Trust, the
Distributor may retain as a profit any difference between the fee it receives
and the amount it pays to third parties.
     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
Weiss, Peck, & Greer L.L.C. ("WPG") act as the Investment Adviser on behalf of
the Tax Free, the California Tax Exempt, the Institutional Tax Free and the
Pennsylvania Tax Free Funds. For its services, WPG receives a monthly fee equal
to an annual rate of .05% of the combined daily net assets up to $500 million,
 .04% on the next $500 million



                                                                            73

6.    Line of Credit
The Funds have a bank line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are
secured by investment securities of the Funds equal to 110% of such borrowings
which may not exceed 10% of the Funds' total assets. During the six month period
ended February 28, 1999, no borrowings were made from this line of credit.

7. Concentration of Credit Risk The Funds invest in debt instruments of muni-
cipal 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.
     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).
