NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1996
Note 1 - Organization
The Elite Growth and Income Fund and The Elite Income Fund (the
"Funds") are two series of shares of beneficial interests of The Elite Group
(the "Trust"), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as a diversified open-end management company. The Trust was organized
in Massachusetts as a business trust on August 8, 1986. The Trust is authorized
to issue an unlimited number of no par shares of beneficial interest of any
number of series. Currently, the Trust has authorized only the two series above.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Funds. The policies are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
A. Security Valuation - Investments in securities traded on a national
securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price. Securities
which are traded over- the counter are valued at the bid price. Securities for
which reliable quotations are not readily available are valued at their
respective fair value as determined in good faith by, or under procedures
established by the Board of Trustees.
B. Federal Income Taxes - The Funds intend to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore
no federal income tax provision is required.
C. Option Accounting Principles (The Elite Growth & Income Fund) - When
the Fund sells an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is
included as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is
marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the options written. The
current market value of a traded option is the last sale price. When an option
expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing
purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing
purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was sold)
without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and
the liability related to such option is extinguished. If an option is exercised,
the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and
the proceeds of the sale are increased by the premium received. The Elite Growth
& Income Fund as a writer of an option may have no control over whether the
underlying security may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears
the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying
the written option.
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1996
D. Equalization (The Elite income Fund) - The Fund follows the
practice known as "equalization" by which a portion of the proceeds from sales
and costs of repurchases of shares of the Fund is credited or charged to
income on the date of the transaction so that undistributed net income per
share is unaffected by shares of the Fund sold or repurchased.
E. Cash Equivalent - Consists of investment in mutual fund money
market accounts.
F. Other - As is common in the industry, security transactions are
accounted for on the trade date. Dividend Income and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions and
capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for post - October
losses. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily.
Note 3 - Restricted Securities
The Funds may invest in restricted securities. Restricted securities
are securities which have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and as a result are subject to restrictions on resale. Investments
in restricted securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by
the Trust's Board of Trustees. There are no unrestricted securities of these
issuers. At March 31, 1996, the Elite Growth and Income Fund had investments in
restricted securities with the date of acquisition, cost, fair value and
percentage of net assets listed below:

Note 5 - Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Funds retain McCormick Capital Management Inc. as their Investment
Manager. Under an Investment Management Agreement, the investment Manager
furnishes each Fund with Investment advice, office space and salaries of
non-executive personnel needed by the Funds to provide general office services.
As compensation for its services, the Manager is paid a monthly fee based upon
the average daily net assets
of each Fund. For The Elite Growth & Income Fund and The Elite Income Fund, the
rates are 1% and 7/10 of 1%, respectively, up to $250 million; 3/4 of 1% and
5/8% of 1%, respectively, over $250 million up to $500 million; and 1/2 of 1%
over $500 million for each Fund.
The Manager has undertaken that the operating expenses of each Fund for
each fiscal year (including management fees, but excluding taxes, interest and
brokerage commissions), expressed as a percentage of average daily net assets,
will not exceed the lowest rate prescribed by any state in which shares of the
Funds are qualified for sale. Currently, such limitation is 2.5% of the first
$30 million of such assets, 2% of the next $70 million, and 1.5% of any net
assets in excess of $100 million.

directors of the Manager. The Law firm of Foster, Pepper & Shefelman, of which
Joseph M. Gaffney, Assistant Secretary of the Funds, is a member, received fees
of $1,343 and $553 from the Elite Growth & Income Fund and The Elite Income

NOTE 6 - Concentration
Although both of the funds have a diversified investment portfolio,
there are certain credit risks due to the manner in which the portfolio is
invested which may subject the funds more significantly to economic changes
occurring in certain industries or sectors. The Elite Growth & Income Fund has
investments in excess of 10% in basic goods, capital goods, consumer goods and
services, financial intermediaries, and health care service industries. The
Elite Income Fund has investments in excess of 10% in Electric Utilities and Gas
Utilities.
