CASH RESOURCE TRUST
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
JANUARY 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND PRESIDENT


It is our privilege to send you the Cash Resource Trust Semi-Annual Report for
the period ended January 31, 1999.* The Cash Resource Trust ("CRT") is part of
a diversified family of funds offered by Mentor Investment Group, LLC,** an
investment advisory firm with more than $15.5 billion under management. Mentor
provides investment management in six different styles to a broad spectrum of
investors.


As you know, the CRT money market funds ("the Funds") are invested to seek as
high a rate of current income -- or, in the case of the CRT tax-exempt money
market funds, as high a rate of current income exempt from federal income tax
and/or state income tax -- as the investment advisor believes to be consistent
with preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.


The Funds are managed according to a conservative policy that places strong
emphasis on credit research. We carefully review each investment and do not
sacrifice quality to attain a higher yield. While the managers seek to invest
the Funds in accordance with this process, there is no guarantee that it will
result in investment success. An investment in the Funds is neither insured nor
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, and there can be no assurance that the Funds
will maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

In the pages that follow you will find financial statements for the five CRT
Funds, in addition to commentary from members of the management team regarding
their investment strategy and outlook.

Thank you for your continuing investment in the Funds.


Sincerely,

/s/ Daniel J. Ludeman               /s/ Paul F. Costello

CASH RESOURCE TRUST SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
MANAGERS' OVERVIEW
JANUARY 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MARKET REVIEW


Given the nature and extent of the negative influences coming to bear, the
performance of the U.S. economy and financial markets over the past six months
can only be considered remarkable. We have witnessed the collapse or near-
collapse of several major world economies, including Japan and Russia. Indeed,
Russia defaulted on its debt and only a rescue by the International Monetary
Fund prevented defaults by other sovereign debt issuers. The world's financial
system clearly was placed under severe strain. We have also witnessed an
ongoing military confrontation between the U.S. and Iraq, and have suffered
through a major governmental scandal in this country culminating in the
impeachment of our President.


Despite these hostile factors, and despite an expansion which was already
setting longevity records, our economy remained on a remarkably even keel
throughout the period. Activity continued to forge ahead at a pace adequate to
keep employment and capacity utilization at very high levels, yet not so rapid
as to give rise to inflation. Early in 1998, the Federal Reserve stood poised
to raise rates as a preventive measure against an outbreak of inflation, but as
the year progressed and the threat from weak overseas economies grew, the Fed's
position shifted to one of ease. During the fall months the Fed lowered rates
three times by 0.25%, or a total of 0.75%. As of this writing, the medicine
seems to be having the desired effect, for current indicators show continued
strength with little or no evidence of the "Asian flu."


Like the other U.S. financial markets, the money markets turned in a strong
performance for the six months, led by U.S. Treasuries. Early on, this strength
was primarily a function of a flight to quality as investors sought the safety
of short maturities, especially short U.S. Governments. During this time,
spreads between Treasuries and other instruments widened significantly. Adding
to the strength was a growing feeling that the Fed would eventually have to
ease rates in response to the international crisis. Later, when the Fed did
indeed assume a policy of ease, rates on all money market instruments dropped
accordingly. Perhaps

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

reflecting a slowdown in the flight to quality, Treasuries did not drop as
much, so that their spread over other instruments narrowed somewhat. We ended
the period about 0.75% lower than where we began, with about half that
occurring in the past three months.


MANAGEMENT STRATEGY


It is our normal policy to manage the money market funds to an average maturity
range between 30 and 60 days. Early in the period, we recognized that it was
unlikely that the Fed would raise rates given what was then occurring around
the world. Indeed, we could see a scenario developing in which the Fed would
have to reduce rates to preserve an acceptable rate of growth in this country.
Accordingly, we adopted a strategy of managing the funds to an average maturity
of 55-60 days, the outer end of our normal range. Commensurate with this was a
decision to tighten our already high quality standards even further,
particularly regarding overseas exposure and specifically exposure to troubled
areas of the world.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION AND EXPLANATION


Our money market funds generally performed in the second quartile or high third
quartile among their peer groups as measured in the IBC Donoghue Universe. Our
better relative performers tended to be the government funds, where quality is
more or less a neutral factor among all funds in the universe, and hence our
high quality standards did not penalize us. The poorer performers were the
tax-exempt funds, where the reverse was true. Here, our insistence on high
quality eliminated many issues backed by letters of credit from foreign banks
that were unacceptable to us.


Performance was especially good early in the period, due to our prompt decision
to extend maturities. Around the mid-point, this advantage tended to level out
as other funds also extended maturities. Later, performance once again picked
up as many foreign banks, especially Japanese banks, were downgraded below Tier
I standards, forcing other funds to eliminate them from usage and thus placing
us on a level playing field.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our performance objective is and always has been to provide a competitive
return while maintaining well above-average quality and safety standards. While
we feel we accomplished this goal in 1998, we hope to achieve above average
returns on all our funds during 1999.


MARKET OUTLOOK


We enter the new year at a crossroads. After cutting rates three times during
1998's fourth quarter, the Fed is likely to adopt a wait and see attitude for
at least a while before taking additional steps. Based on recent indications,
the economy appears to be shaking off what at first appeared to be some minor
effects of the world slowdown, and as of now seems to be moving ahead at a
reasonable pace. Also, world economies and markets in general seem to be
entering 1999 on a more stable note. If these factors continue, then the Fed
may well move to a position of neutrality that could continue until
inflationary pressures appear.

In other words, from an outlook for "stable to down" rates, we seem to have
moved a step closer to an outlook for "stable to up" rates. Accordingly, we
have shortened our target average maturity range from 55-60 days to 50-55 days,
and may shorten further if these trends continue.

CASH RESOURCE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 1999 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION
Cash Resource Trust ("Trust") was organized on June 14, 1993 and is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management
investment company. The Trust consists of five separate diversified funds
(hereinafter each individually referred to as a "Fund" or collectively as the
"Funds") at January 31, 1999 as follows:

       Cash Resource Money Market Fund ("Money Market Fund")

       Cash Resource U.S. Government Money Market Fund ("U.S. Government Fund")


       Cash Resource Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund ("Tax-Exempt Fund")

       Cash Resource California Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund ("California Tax-
       Exempt Fund")

       Cash Resource New York Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund ("New York Tax-Exempt
       Fund")


The investment objective of the Money Market Fund and the U.S. Government Fund
is to seek current income consistent with preservation of capital and
maintenance of liquidity. The investment objective of each of the other Funds
is to seek current income exempt from federal income tax (and, in the case of
the California Tax-Exempt Fund, California personal income tax, or, in the case
of the New York Tax-Exempt Fund, New York State and City personal income taxes)
consistent with preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.


The assets of each Fund of the Trust are segregated and a shareholder's
interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held.


NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which
require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts
reported herein. Although actual results could differ from these estimates, any
such differences are expected to be immaterial to the net assets of the Funds.


                                       41

CASH RESOURCE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)

(a) Valuation of Securities


Investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates market value as
permitted by Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. In the event that
a deviation of  1/2 of 1% or more exists between a Fund's $1.00 per share net
asset value, calculated at amortized cost, and the net asset value calculated
by reference to market-based values, or if there is any other deviation that
the Board of Trustees believes would result in a material dilution to
shareholders or purchasers, the Board of Trustees will promptly consider what
action, if any, should be initiated.


(b) Repurchase Agreements


It is the policy of the Trust to require the custodian bank to take possession,
to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book entry system all
securities held as collateral in support of repurchase agreement investments.
Additionally, procedures have been established by the Trust to monitor, on a
daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement's underlying
securities to ensure the existence of a proper level of collateral.

The Trust will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other
recognized financial institutions such as broker/dealers which are deemed by
the Trust's adviser to be creditworthy pursuant to guidelines established by
the Board of Trustees. Risks may arise from the potential inability of
counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the
Trust could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral
securities.


(c) Security Transactions and Interest Income


Security transactions for the Funds are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of
premium and discount on investments.


(d) Expenses


Expenses arising in connection with a Fund are allocated to that Fund. Other
Trust expenses are allocated among the Funds in proportion to their relative
net assets.

CASH RESOURCE TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)

(e) Fund Share Valuation and Dividends to Shareholders


Fund shares are sold and redeemed on a continual basis at net asset value. The
net asset value per share (NAV) of each Fund is determined daily as of 4:00
p.m. on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Each
Fund determines its NAV by dividing the total value of the Fund's investments
and other assets, less liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding.
Each Fund declares a daily dividend, equal to its net investment income for
that day. Dividends for the immediately preceding month will be paid on the
fifteenth day of each calendar month. Distributions from net realized capital
gains, if any, are paid annually.


(f) Federal Income Taxes


No provision for federal income taxes has been made since it is each Fund's
policy to comply with the provisions applicable to regulated investment
companies under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute to its shareholders
within the allowable time limit substantially all taxable income and realized
capital gains.

At July 31, 1998, Money Market Fund for federal tax purposes, had a capital
loss carryforward of approximately $30,000. Pursuant to the Code, such capital
loss carryforwards expire in 2006.


(g) Deferred Expenses


Costs incurred by the Trust in connection with its initial share registration
and organization costs were deferred by the Funds and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over a five year period.


NOTE 3: INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, under which
they pay a distribution fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly at the
annual rate of 0.38% of the Fund's average daily net assets for Money Market
Fund, U.S. Government Fund and New York Tax-Exempt Fund and 0.33% of the Fund's
average daily net assets for Tax-Exempt Fund and California Tax-Exempt Fund
(the Plan provides for payments by the New York Tax-Exempt Fund at a rate of up
to 0.50%, the Trustees have currently limited payments by this Fund to 0.38% of
the Fund's average daily net assets).


In order to compensate selected financial institutions, such as investment
dealers and banks through which shares of each Fund are sold ("Financial
Institutions") for services provided in connection with sales of shares of each
Fund and/or for administrative services and the maintenance of shareholder
accounts, Mentor Distributors may make periodic payments (from any amounts
received by it under the Plan or from its other resources) to qualifying
Financial Institutions based on the average net asset value of shares of a Fund
which are attributable to shareholders for whom the Financial Institutions are
designated as the Financial Institution of record. Mentor Distributors may make
such payments at the annual rate of up to 0.40% of the average net asset value
of such shares (0.38% in the case of New York Tax-Exempt and 0.33% in the case
of Tax-Exempt and California Tax-Exempt Funds).

NOTE 4: CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK


California Tax-Exempt Fund and New York Tax-Exempt Fund invest in obligations
issued by the States of California and New York and by their political
subdivisions and duly constituted authorities. The issuers' abilities to meet
their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in the
States of California and New York. Certain debt obligations held by each of the
Funds in the Trust are entitled to the benefits of insurance, standby letters
of credit or other guarantees of banks or other financial institutions.

NOTE 5: YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)


The Funds receive services from a number of providers which rely on the
effective functioning of their respective systems and the systems of others to
perform those services. It is generally recognized that certain systems in use
today may not be able to perform their intended functions effectively after
1999 because of the inability of computer software to distinguish the year 2000
from the year 1900. Mentor Advisors is taking steps that it believes are
reasonably designed to address this potential year 2000 problem and to obtain
satisfactory assurances that comparable steps are being taken by the Funds'
other major service providers. There can be no assurance, however, that these
steps will be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact on the Funds from this
problem.
