Dear Fellow Shareholders,

In our December  1998 letter we related that we expected  1999 to be a good year
for the mid-cap  investor.  Now that we have  reached  midyear,  I am pleased to
report that,  so far, such has been the case.  Through June 30th mid-cap  stocks
have  rebounded  smartly.  Your fund  returned  11.3% over the first six months,
while the  Standard  & Poor's  MidCap 400  Index's  total  return was 6.9%.  Are
mid-caps still attractive? We think so.

Valuations  are still in our  favor.  While  there has been a slight  snap back,
valuations  of most  mid-cap  stocks  remain very close to their  historic  lows
relative to large-cap  stocks,  which remain  historically  expensive.  In other
words, price remains on the side of the mid-cap investor.  Equally as important,
we expect growth in earnings to be greater in the mid-cap sector over the coming
months than that  produced by large-cap  stocks,  given the strength in the U.S.
economy versus the rest of the world.

Regarding the recent interest rate increase by the Federal  Reserve,  we believe
it will be a positive for  investors.  Growth in the economy has been very rapid
of late,  and while there are currently no signs of  inflationary  pressures,  a
slight nudge toward restraint  should help to prolong the recovery.  The Federal
Reserve  lowered  interest  rates  three  times in late 1998 in  response to the
financial crisis in Asia. As a result, short-term rates are artificially low and
simply need to be brought back toward the pre-crisis  level.  Such action should
provide just the right  combination of enough growth with little or no inflation
to keep the stock market moving ahead.

So, as we enter the last half of the year, we remain positive on the outlook for
your fund.  We continue to position the  portfolio  for economic  gains over the
next three years, particularly in the consumer and technology sectors.

Your continued  support is appreciated,  and we look forward to serving you over
the remainder of the investment year.


                                                        C. Lennis Koontz,II, CFA

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  May 31, 1999
                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION

     The Capital  Management  Mid-Cap Fund (the "Fund"),  formerly  known as The
     Capital  Management  Equity  Fund,  is a  diversified  series  of shares of
     beneficial  interest  of  the  Capital  Management  Investment  Trust  (the
     "Trust").  The Trust,  an open-end  investment  company,  was  organized on
     October 18, 1994 as a Massachusetts  Business Trust and is registered under
     the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The Fund began operations
     on  January  27,  1995.  The  investment  objective  of the fund is to seek
     capital appreciation  principally through investments in equity securities,
     consisting of common and preferred  stocks and securities  convertible into
     common stocks. The Fund has an unlimited number of authorized shares, which
     are divided into two classes -  Institutional  Shares and Investor  Shares.
     Only Institutional Shares were offered by the Fund prior to April 7, 1995.

     Each  class of shares  has equal  rights as to assets of the Fund,  and the
     classes  are  identical  except  for  differences  in  their  sales  charge
     structures  and ongoing  distribution  and service fees.  Income,  expenses
     (other than  distribution and service fees, which are only  attributable to
     the  Investor  Class),  and  realized  and  unrealized  gains or  losses on
     investments  are  allocated to each class of shares based upon its relative
     net assets. Investor Shares purchased are subject to a maximum sales charge
     of three percent.  Both classes have equal voting privileges,  except where
     otherwise required by law or when the Board of Trustees determines that the
     matter to be voted on affects only the interests of the  shareholders  of a
     particular  class.  The  following is a summary of  significant  accounting
     policies followed by the Fund.

     A.   Security  Valuation - The Fund's investments in securities are carried
          at value.  Securities  listed on an  exchange  or quoted on a national
          market system are valued at 4:00 p.m., New York time. Other securities
          traded in the over-the-counter  market and listed securities for which
          no sale was  reported  on that date are valued at the most  recent bid
          price.   Securities  for  which  market  quotations  are  not  readily
          available,  if any, are valued by using an independent pricing service
          or  by  following  procedures  approved  by  the  Board  of  Trustees.
          Short-term investments are valued at cost which approximates value.

     B.   Federal  Income Taxes - No provision has been made for federal  income
          taxes since it is the policy of the Fund to comply with the provisions
          of the  Internal  Revenue  Code  applicable  to  regulated  investment
          companies and to make  sufficient  distributions  of taxable income to
          relieve it from all federal income taxes.

          Each Fund files a tax return  annually  using tax  accounting  methods
          required under  provisions of the Code which may differ from generally
          accepted  accounting  principles,  the basis on which these  financial
          statements are prepared.  Accordingly,  the character of distributions
          to shareholders  reported in the financial  highlights may differ from
          that  reported  to  shareholders  for  Federal  income  tax  purposes.
          Distributions  which  exceed net  investment  income and net  realized
          gains for financial  reporting  purposes but not for tax purposes,  if
          any, are shown as distributions in excess of net investment income and
          net realized gains in the accompanying statements.

     C.   Investment  Transactions  -  Investment  transactions  are recorded on
          trade  date.  Realized  gains  and  losses  are  determined  using the
          specific identification cost method. Interest income is recorded daily
          on an accrual basis.  Dividend  income is recorded on the  ex-dividend
          date.

                                                                     (Continued)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  May 31, 1999
                                   (Unaudited)


     D.   Distributions  to  Shareholders  -  The  Fund  may  declare  dividends
          quarterly,  payable in March, June, September,  and December on a date
          selected by the Trust's  Trustees.  Distributions  to shareholders are
          recorded on the ex-dividend  date. In addition,  distributions  may be
          made annually in December out of net realized gains through October 31
          of that  year.  Distributions  to  shareholders  are  recorded  on the
          ex-dividend  date.  The  Fund  may  make a  supplemental  distribution
          subsequent to the end of its fiscal year ending November 30.

     E.   Use  of  Estimates  -  The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in
          conformity  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires
          management to make estimates and  assumptions  that affect the amounts
          of  assets,  liabilities,   expenses  and  revenues  reported  in  the
          financial   statements.   Actual   results  could  differ  from  those
          estimates.


NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Pursuant  to  an  investment   advisory   agreement,   Capital   Management
     Associates,  Inc.  (the  "Advisor"),  provides  the fund with a  continuous
     program of supervision of the Fund's assets,  including the  composition of
     its portfolio,  and furnishes  advice and  recommendations  with respect to
     investments,  investment policies, and the purchase and sale of securities.
     As compensation for its services,  the Advisor receives a fee at the annual
     rate of 1.00% of the first $100  million of the  Fund's  average  daily net
     assets, 0.90% of the next $150 million, 0.85% of the next $250 million, and
     0.80% of all assets over $500 million.

     The Advisor  currently intends to voluntarily waive all or a portion of its
     fee and to  reimburse  expenses of the Fund to limit  total Fund  operating
     expenses  to a maximum  of 1.50% of the  average  daily  net  assets of the
     Fund's  Institutional Class and a maximum of 2.25% of the average daily net
     assets of the Fund's  Investor  Class.  There can be no assurance  that the
     foregoing  voluntary  fee  waivers or  reimbursements  will  continue.  The
     Advisor has  voluntarily  waived a portion of its fee  amounting to $32,009
     ($0.08 per share) and reimbursed $13,836 of the operating expenses incurred
     by the Fund for the period  ended May 31, 1999.  The Fund's  administrator,
     The  Nottingham  Company  (the  "Administrator"),  provides  administrative
     services to and is generally  responsible  for the overall  management  and
     day-to-day   operations  of  the  Fund   pursuant  to  an  accounting   and
     administrative  agreement with the Trust. As compensation for its services,
     the Administrator receives a fee at the annual rate of 0.125% of the Fund's
     first $50  million  of  average  daily net  assets,  0.100% of the next $50
     million,  and 0.075% of average  daily net assets over $100 million as well
     as a monthly fee of $2,250 for accounting and  record-keeping  services for
     the initial class of shares and $750 per month for each additional class of
     shares.  The contract  with the  Administrator  provides that the aggregate
     fees for the aforementioned  administration,  accounting, and recordkeeping
     services shall not be less than $4,000 per month.  The  Administrator  also
     charges the Fund for certain expenses  involved with the daily valuation of
     portfolio securities.

     North Carolina Shareholder  Services,  LLC (the "Transfer Agent") serves as
     the Fund's transfer,  dividend paying, and shareholder servicing agent. The

                         CAPITAL MANAGEMENT MID-CAP FUND

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  May 31, 1999
                                   (Unaudited)


     Shields & Company,  Inc. (the "Distributor"),  an affiliate of the Advisor,
     serves as the Fund's principal underwriter and distributor. The Distributor
     receives any sales  charges  imposed on  purchases  of Investor  Shares and
     re-allocates a portion of such charges to dealers through whom the sale was
     made, if any. For the period ended May 31, 1999, the  Distributor  retained
     sales charges in the amount of $103.

     Certain  Trustees and officers of the Trust are also  officers or directors
     of the Advisor, the Distributor, or the Administrator.


NOTE 3 - DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

     The Board of  Trustees,  including  the  Trustees  who are not  "interested
     persons" of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
     "Act"),  adopted a distribution  and service plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of
     the Act (the "Plan")  applicable to the Investor Shares.  The Act regulates
     the manner in which a  regulated  investment  company  may assume  costs of
     distributing  and  promoting  the sales of its shares and  servicing of its
     shareholder accounts.

     The Plan  provides  that the Fund may incur  certain  costs,  which may not
     exceed 0.75% per annum of the Investor Shares' average daily net assets for
     each year elapsed  subsequent  to adoption of the Plan,  for payment to the
     Distributor  and  others for items such as  advertising  expenses,  selling
     expenses,  commissions,  travel, or other expenses  reasonably  intended to
     result in sales of  Investor  Shares in the Fund or  support  servicing  of
     Investor Share shareholder accounts.  Such expenditures incurred as service
     fees may not exceed 0.25% per annum of the Investor  Shares'  average daily
     net assets.  The Fund incurred  $5,990 of such expenses  under the Plan for
     the period ended May 31, 1999.


NOTE 4 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS

     Purchases  and sales of  investments,  other than  short-term  investments,
     aggregated  $3,405,468 and $3,996,326,  respectively,  for the period ended
     May 31, 1999.

                        CAPITAL MANAGEMENT SMALL-CAP FUND

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  May 31, 1999
                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION

         The Capital  Management  Small-Cap  Fund (the "Fund") is a  diversified
         series of shares  of  beneficial  interest  of the  Capital  Management
         Investment  Trust (the  "Trust").  The Trust,  an  open-end  investment
         company, was organized on October 18, 1994 as a Massachusetts  Business
         Trust and is registered  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940, as
         amended.  The Fund began operations on January 12, 1999. The investment
         objective  of the  Fund is to  seek  capital  appreciation  principally
         through  investments  in equity  securities,  consisting  of common and
         preferred  stocks and securities  convertible  into common stocks.  The
         Fund pursues its investment  objective by investing primarily in equity
         securities of small-capitalization  ("small-cap")  companies.  The Fund
         considers a small-cap company to be one that has market capitalization,
         measured at the time the Fund purchases the security,  within the range
         of $100  million to $1  billion.  The Fund has an  unlimited  number of
         $0.01 par value beneficial  interest shares that are authorized,  which
         are  divided  into two  classes -  Institutional  Shares  and  Investor
         Shares.

         Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets of the Fund, and the
         classes are  identical  except for  differences  in their sales  charge
         structures and ongoing distribution and service fees. Income,  expenses
         (other than  distribution and service fees, which are only attributable
         to the Investor Class),  and realized and unrealized gains or losses on
         investments  are  allocated  to each  class of  shares  based  upon its
         relative net assets. Investor Shares purchased are subject to a maximum
         sales  charge  of  three  percent.   Both  classes  have  equal  voting
         privileges, except where otherwise required by law or when the Board of
         Trustees  determines  that the matter to be voted on  affects  only the
         interests of the shareholders of a particular class. The following is a
         summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.

         A.       Security  Valuation - The Fund's investments in securities are
                  carried at value.  Securities  listed on an exchange or quoted
                  on a national  market system are valued at 4:00 p.m., New York
                  time. Other securities traded in the  over-the-counter  market
                  and listed  securities  for which no sale was reported on that
                  date are valued at the most recent bid price.  Securities  for
                  which market quotations are not readily available, if any, are
                  valued by using an independent pricing service or by following
                  procedures  approved  by the  Board  of  Trustees.  Short-term
                  investments are valued at cost which approximates value.

         B.       Federal  Income Taxes - No provision has been made for federal
                  income taxes since it is the policy of the Fund to comply with
                  the  provisions  of the Internal  Revenue Code  applicable  to
                  regulated   investment   companies  and  to  make   sufficient
                  distributions of taxable income to relieve it from all federal
                  income taxes.

                  Each Fund files a tax  return  annually  using tax  accounting
                  methods required under provisions of the Code which may differ
                  from generally accepted  accounting  principles,  the basis on
                  which these  financial  statements are prepared.  Accordingly,
                  the character of distributions to shareholders reported in the
                  financial   highlights   may  differ  from  that  reported  to
                  shareholders  for Federal  income tax purposes.  Distributions
                  which exceed net investment  income and net realized gains for
                  financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes, if any,
                  are shown as distributions in excess of net investment  income
                  and net realized gains in the accompanying statements.

         C.       Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are recorded
                  on trade date.  Realized gains and losses are determined using
                  the specific  identification  cost method.  Interest income is
                  recorded  daily  on  an  accrual  basis.  Dividend  income  is
                  recorded on the ex-dividend date.

                                                                     (Continued)

                        CAPITAL MANAGEMENT SMALL-CAP FUND

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  May 31, 1999
                                   (Unaudited)


         D.       Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund may declare dividends
                  quarterly,  payable in March, June, September, and December on
                  a date  selected by the  Trust's  Trustees.  Distributions  to
                  shareholders   are  recorded  on  the  ex-dividend   date.  In
                  addition,  distributions  may be made annually in December out
                  of  net  realized  gains  through  October  31 of  that  year.
                  Distributions  to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
                  date. The Fund may make a supplemental distribution subsequent
                  to the end of its fiscal year ending November 30.

         E.       Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial  statements in
                  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles
                  requires  management to make  estimates and  assumptions  that
                  affect  the  amounts  of  assets,  liabilities,  expenses  and
                  revenues reported in the financial statements.  Actual results
                  could differ from those estimates.


NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         Pursuant  to  an  investment  advisory  agreement,  Capital  Management
         Associates,  Inc. (the "Advisor"),  provides the Fund with a continuous
         program of supervision of the Fund's assets,  including the composition
         of its portfolio, and furnishes advice and recommendations with respect
         to  investments,  investment  policies,  and the  purchase  and sale of
         securities.  As compensation  for its services,  the Advisor receives a
         fee at the annual rate of 1.00% of the first $100 million of the Fund's
         average daily net assets, 0.90% of the next $150 million,  0.85% of the
         next $250 million, and 0.80% of all assets over $500 million.

         The Advisor  currently intends to voluntarily waive all or a portion of
         its fee and to  reimburse  expenses  of the  Fund to limit  total  Fund
         operating  expenses  to a  maximum  of 1.50% of the  average  daily net
         assets of the Fund's  Institutional Class shares and a maximum of 2.25%
         of the average  daily net assets of the Fund's  Investor  Class shares.
         There can be no assurance  that the foregoing  voluntary fee waivers or
         reimbursements  will  continue.  The Advisor has  voluntarily  waived a
         portion of its fee  amounting to $629 ($0.04 per share) and  reimbursed
         $37,182 of the operating  expenses  incurred by the Fund for the period
         ending May 31, 1999.

         The Fund's administrator, The Nottingham Company (the "Administrator"),
         provides  administrative  services to and is generally  responsible for
         the overall  management and day-to-day  operations of the Fund pursuant
         to an  accounting  and  administrative  agreement  with the  Trust.  As
         compensation for its services,  the Administrator receives a fee at the
         annual rate of 0.125% of the Fund's first $50 million of average  daily
         net assets,  0.10% of the next $50 million, and 0.075% of average daily
         net assets over $100 million. The Administrator also receives a monthly
         fee of  $2,000  for  accounting  and  record-keeping  services  for the
         initial class of shares and $750 per month for each additional class of
         shares. The contract with the Administrator provides that the aggregate
         fees   for   the   aforementioned   administration,   accounting,   and
         recordkeeping  services  shall not be less than  $3,000 per month.  The
         Administrator  also charges the Fund for certain expenses involved with
         the daily  valuation of portfolio  securities.  The  Administrator  has
         voluntarily waived a portion of its fees amounting to $1,519 ($0.10 per
         share) for the period ending May 31, 1999.

         North Carolina Shareholder Services,  LLC (the "Transfer Agent") serves
         as the Fund's  transfer,  dividend  paying,  and shareholder  servicing
         agent.  The Transfer Agent maintains the records of each  shareholder's
         account,  answers shareholder inquiries concerning accounts,  processes
         purchases and  redemptions of the Fund's  shares,  acts as dividend and
         distribution disbursing agent, and performs other shareholder servicing
         functions.

                                                                     (Continued)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  May 31, 1999
                                   (Unaudited)


         Shields &  Company,  Inc.  (the  "Distributor"),  an  affiliate  of the
         Advisor,  serves as the Fund's  principal  underwriter and distributor.
         The  Distributor  receives  any sales  charges  imposed on purchases of
         Investor  Shares and  re-allocates a portion of such charges to dealers
         through whom the sale was made,  if any. For the year ended May 31, the
         Distributor did not retain any sales charges.

         Certain  Trustees  and  officers  of the  Trust  are also  officers  or
         directors of the Advisor, the Distributor, or the Administrator.


NOTE 3 - DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

         The Board of Trustees,  including the Trustees who are not  "interested
         persons" of the Trust as defined in the Investment  Company Act of 1940
         (the "Act"),  adopted a distribution  and service plan pursuant to Rule
         12b-1 of the Act (the "Plan")  applicable to the Investor  Shares.  The
         Act  regulates the manner in which a regulated  investment  company may
         assume costs of distributing  and promoting the sales of its shares and
         servicing of its shareholder accounts.

         The Plan provides that the Fund may incur certain costs,  which may not
         exceed 0.75% per annum of the Investor Class Shares'  average daily net
         assets for each year elapsed  subsequent  to adoption of the Plan,  for
         payment to the  Distributor  and  others for items such as  advertising
         expenses,  selling  expenses,  commissions,  travel,  or other expenses
         reasonably  intended to result in sales of Investor Class Shares in the
         Fund or support servicing of Investor Class Share shareholder accounts.
         Such  expenditures  incurred as service  fees may not exceed  0.25% per
         annum of the Investor Class Shares' average daily net assets.  The Fund
         incurred $147 of such expenses for the period ending May 31, 1999.


NOTE 4 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS

         Purchases and sales of investments,  other than short-term investments,
         aggregated  $239,358 and $98,431,  respectively,  for the period ending
         May 31, 1999.

         The Capital Management Energy Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series
         of shares of beneficial  interest of the Capital Management  Investment
         Trust (the "Trust").  The Trust, an open-end  investment  company,  was
         organized on October 18, 1994 as a Massachusetts  Business Trust and is
         registered  under the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The
         Fund began operations on January 12, 1999. The investment  objective of
         the Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation. Current income is a
         secondary  consideration in selecting portfolio  investments.  The Fund
         pursues its investment  objective by investing  primarily in securities
         of large-,  mid-, and small-cap  companies involved in the energy field
         ("energy-related   companies"),   including  companies  whose  business
         focuses  on or  involves  oil,  gas,  electricity,  coal and all new or
         emerging  sources of energy.  The Fund has an unlimited number of $0.01
         par value beneficial interest shares authorized, which are divided into
         two classes Institutional Shares and Investor Shares.

         Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets of the Fund, and the
         classes are  identical  except for  differences  in their sales  charge
         structures and ongoing distribution and service fees. Income,  expenses
         (other than  distribution and service fees, which are only attributable
         to the Investor Class),  and realized and unrealized gains or losses on
         investments  are  allocated  to each  class of  shares  based  upon its
         relative net assets. Investor Shares purchased are subject to a maximum
         sales  charge  of  three  percent.   Both  classes  have  equal  voting
         privileges, except where otherwise required by law or when the Board of
         Trustees  determines  that the matter to be voted on  affects  only the
         interests of the shareholders of a particular class. The following is a
         summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.

         A.       Security  Valuation - The Fund's investments in securities are
                  carried at value.  Securities  listed on an exchange or quoted
                  on a national  market system are valued at 4:00 p.m., New York
                  time. Other securities traded in the  over-the-counter  market
                  and listed  securities  for which no sale was reported on that
                  date are valued at the most recent bid price.  Securities  for
                  which market quotations are not readily available, if any, are
                  valued by using an independent pricing service or by following
                  procedures  approved  by the  Board  of  Trustees.  Short-term
                  investments are valued at cost which approximates value.

         B.       Federal  Income Taxes - No provision has been made for federal
                  income taxes since it is the policy of the Fund to comply with
                  the  provisions  of the Internal  Revenue Code  applicable  to
                  regulated   investment   companies  and  to  make   sufficient
                  distributions of taxable income to relieve it from all federal
                  income taxes.

                  Each Fund files a tax  return  annually  using tax  accounting
                  methods required under provisions of the Code which may differ
                  from generally accepted  accounting  principles,  the basis on
                  which these  financial  statements are prepared.  Accordingly,
                  the character of distributions to shareholders reported in the
                  financial   highlights   may  differ  from  that  reported  to
                  shareholders  for Federal  income tax purposes.  Distributions
                  which exceed net investment  income and net realized gains for
                  financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes, if any,
                  are shown as distributions in excess of net investment  income
                  and net realized gains in the accompanying statements.

         C.       Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are recorded
                  on trade date.  Realized gains and losses are determined using
                  the specific  identification  cost method.  Interest income is
                  recorded  daily  on  an  accrual  basis.  Dividend  income  is
                  recorded on the ex-dividend date.

                                                                     (Continued)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  May 31, 1999



         D.       Distributions to Shareholders - The Fund may declare dividends
                  quarterly,  payable in March, June, September, and December on
                  a date  selected by the  Trust's  Trustees.  Distributions  to
                  shareholders   are  recorded  on  the  ex-dividend   date.  In
                  addition,  distributions  may be made annually in December out
                  of  net  realized  gains  through  October  31 of  that  year.
                  Distributions  to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
                  date. The Fund may make a supplemental distribution subsequent
                  to the end of its fiscal year ending November 30.

         E.       Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial  statements in
                  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles
                  requires  management to make  estimates and  assumptions  that
                  affect  the  amounts  of  assets,  liabilities,  expenses  and
                  revenues reported in the financial statements.  Actual results
                  could differ from those estimates.


NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         Pursuant  to  an  investment  advisory  agreement,  Capital  Management
         Associates,  Inc. (the "Advisor"),  provides the Fund with a continuous
         program of supervision of the Fund's assets,  including the composition
         of its portfolio, and furnishes advice and recommendations with respect
         to  investments,  investment  policies,  and the  purchase  and sale of
         securities.  As compensation  for its services,  the Advisor receives a
         fee at the annual rate of 1.00% of the first $100 million of the Fund's
         average daily net assets, 0.90% of the next $150 million,  0.85% of the
         next $250 million, and 0.80% of all assets over $500 million.

         The Advisor  currently intends to voluntarily waive all or a portion of
         its fee and to  reimburse  expenses  of the  Fund to limit  total  Fund
         operating  expenses  to a  maximum  of 1.50% of the  average  daily net
         assets of the Fund's  Institutional Class shares and a maximum of 2.25%
         of the average  daily net assets of the Fund's  Investor  Class shares.
         There can be no assurance  that the foregoing  voluntary fee waivers or
         reimbursements  will  continue.  The Advisor has  voluntarily  waived a
         portion of its fee  amounting to $680 ($0.04 per share) and  reimbursed
         $36,288 of the operating  expenses  incurred by the Fund for the period
         ending May 31, 1999.

         The Fund's administrator, The Nottingham Company (the "Administrator"),
         provides  administrative  services to and is generally  responsible for
         the overall  management and day-to-day  operations of the Fund pursuant
         to an  accounting  and  administrative  agreement  with the  Trust.  As
         compensation for its services,  the Administrator receives a fee at the
         annual rate of 0.125% of the Fund's first $50 million of average  daily
         net assets,  0.10% of the next $50 million, and 0.075% of average daily
         net assets over $100 million. The Administrator also receives a monthly
         fee of  $2,000  for  accounting  and  record-keeping  services  for the
         initial class of shares and $750 per month for each additional class of
         shares. The contract with the Administrator provides that the aggregate
         fees   for   the   aforementioned   administration,   accounting,   and
         recordkeeping  services  shall not be less than  $3,000 per month.  The
         Administrator  also charges the Fund for certain expenses involved with
         the daily  valuation of portfolio  securities.  The  Administrator  has
         voluntarily waived a portion of its fees amounting to $1,523 ($0.07 per
         share) for the period ending May 31, 1999.

         North Carolina Shareholder Services,  LLC (the "Transfer Agent") serves
         as the Fund's  transfer,  dividend  paying,  and shareholder  servicing
         agent.  The Transfer Agent maintains the records of each  shareholder's
         account,  answers shareholder inquiries concerning accounts,  processes
         purchases and  redemptions of the Fund's  shares,  acts as dividend and
         distribution disbursing agent, and performs other shareholder servicing
         functions.

                                                                     (Continued)

                         CAPITAL MANAGEMENT ENERGY FUND

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  May 31, 1999



         Shields &  Company,  Inc.  (the  "Distributor"),  an  affiliate  of the
         Advisor,  serves as the Fund's  principal  underwriter and distributor.
         The  Distributor  receives  any sales  charges  imposed on purchases of
         Investor  Shares and  re-allocates a portion of such charges to dealers
         through whom the sale was made,  if any. For the year ended May 31, the
         Distributor did not retain any sales charges.

         Certain  Trustees  and  officers  of the  Trust  are also  officers  or
         directors of the Advisor, the Distributor, or the Administrator.


NOTE 3 - DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES

         The Board of Trustees,  including the Trustees who are not  "interested
         persons" of the Trust as defined in the Investment  Company Act of 1940
         (the "Act"),  adopted a distribution  and service plan pursuant to Rule
         12b-1 of the Act (the "Plan")  applicable to the Investor  Shares.  The
         Act  regulates the manner in which a regulated  investment  company may
         assume costs of distributing  and promoting the sales of its shares and
         servicing of its shareholder accounts.

         The Plan provides that the Fund may incur certain costs,  which may not
         exceed 0.75% per annum of the Investor Class Shares'  average daily net
         assets for each year elapsed  subsequent  to adoption of the Plan,  for
         payment to the  Distributor  and  others for items such as  advertising
         expenses,  selling  expenses,  commissions,  travel,  or other expenses
         reasonably  intended to result in sales of Investor Class Shares in the
         Fund or support servicing of Investor Class Share shareholder accounts.
         Such  expenditures  incurred as service  fees may not exceed  0.25% per
         annum of the Investor Class Shares' average daily net assets.  The Fund
         incurred $151 of such expenses for the period ending May 31, 1999.


NOTE 4 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS

         Purchases and sales of investments,  other than short-term investments,
         aggregated  $264,886 and $65,500,  respectively,  for the period ending
         May 31, 1999.
