NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2002
(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Organization

The Elite Growth and Income Fund, The Elite Income Fund, and The Elite New Opportunity Fund (the “Funds”) are three 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 three series above. The Elite Growth & Income Fund’s investment objective is to maximize total returns through an aggressive approach to the equity and debt securities markets. The Elite Income Fund’s investment objective is to achieve the highest income return obtainable over the long term commensurate with investments in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of investment grade debt securities. The Elite New Opportunity Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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.

As of September 30, 2001 for Federal Income tax purposes, the Elite Income Fund had $137,892 of capital loss carryovers, expiring September 30, 2009, which may be applied against future net taxable gain of each succeeding year until the earlier of its utilization or its expiration.

C. Option Accounting Principles (The Elite Growth & Income Fund and the Elite New Opportunity 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 and the Elite New Opportunity 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.

D. Cash Equivalent - Consists of investment in mutual fund money market accounts.

E. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for post - October losses. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily.

F. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3 - Purchases and Sales of Securities

For the six months ended March 31, 2002, purchases and sales of securities, other than options and short-term notes were as follows:

Note 4 - 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, The Elite Income Fund, and The Elite New Opportunity Fund, the rates are 1%, 7/10 of 1%, and 1.5%, respectively, up to $250 million; 3/4 of 1%, 5/8 of 1%, and 1.25% over $250 million up to $500 million; and ½ of 1%, ½ of 1% and ¾ of 1% respectively, over $500 million for each Fund.

The Manager may voluntarily reimburse a portion of the operating expenses of a Fund for any fiscal year (including management fees, but excluding taxes, interest and brokerage commissions). Voluntary reimbursements may cease at any time without prior notice.

Note 5 - Directed Brokerage Arrangement

In an effort to reduce the total expenses of the Funds, a portion of the operating expenses may be paid through an arrangement with a third-party broker-dealer who is compensated through commission trades. Payment of the operating expenses by the broker-dealer, is based on a percentage of commissions earned. Expenses paid under this arrangement during the six months ended March 31, 2002 were $13,289 for the Elite Growth & Income Fund, $2,500 for the Elite Income Fund, and $4,593 for the Elite New Opportunity Fund.

Note 6 - Concentration

Although 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 consumer goods, energy, financial intermediaries, health care goods and services, and technology and telecommunications industries. The Elite Income Fund has investments in excess of 10% in the electric and gas utilities and financial industries. The Elite Income Fund has investments in excess of 10% in the energy, financial intermediaries, and technology and telecommunications industries.
