SEI DAILY INCOME TRUST -- JANUARY 31, 2004


Letter to Shareholders


TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:

Financial markets turned the corner during the fiscal year ended January 2004.
The Federal Reserve remained dedicated to providing an accommodative policy
throughout the year. Specifically, the Fed cut its target rate by 25 basis
points in June to a 45-year low of 1%. Despite growing momentum of the economic
recovery, the Fed stressed that rates would remain historically low until
inflation increased and substantial, consistent job growth was realized.

Improved corporate balance sheets and increased investor demand for credit risk
amid the economic rebound helped, in part, to buoy the price of corporate
funding using commercial paper and other corporate obligations. In particular,
the spread between agency discount notes and commercial paper changed late in
the period, making commercial paper appear more attractive. Floating rate notes
were also found in the limelight during the recent market environment, with
these issues generally offering more yield than fixed-rate investments for a
similar time period.

As the Federal Reserve pushed short-term rates to their lowest levels in nearly
five decades, investments in money market funds decreased over the course of the
fiscal year.

We thank you for your continued confidence in the SEI Daily Income Trust, and we
look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.


Sincerely,

/s/ Edward D. Loughlin

Edward D. Loughlin
President

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE
SEI DAILY INCOME TRUST -- JANUARY 31, 2004


Short-Duration Government Fund
WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLP, INVESTMENT ADVISER
FISCAL YEAR ENDED 1/31/04

Objectives

The Short-Duration Government Fund (the "Fund") seeks to preserve principal
value and maintain liquidity while providing current income. The Fund invests in
securities issued by the U.S. Government and backed by its full faith and
credit, and securities issued by U.S. Government agencies. The weighted average
maturity of the Fund is approximately three years. The Fund seeks to provide a
higher level of sustainable income and total return than money market
investments, with limited principal fluctuations.


Strategy

The Fund's weighted average maturity will be managed to take advantage of
anticipated changes in interest rates. The distribution of maturities for
individual securities will also be managed to take advantage of expected changes
in the yield curve. Treasury and agency securities will form the core of the
Fund, and agency-backed mortgage securities will be utilized when their yields
are judged to be attractive relative to those of Treasuries and agencies.


Market Overview

The bond market produced the fourth consecutive year of positive returns in
2003, despite marginally higher interest rates and a roller-coaster ride of
geopolitical and economic milestones. The first half of the year witnessed a
significant decrease in interest rates due to a stumbling economy, rising
unemployment, and uncertainty surrounding the buildup and aftermath of the war
in Iraq. In addition, the Federal Reserve further fueled the rally by utilizing
fairly heated rhetoric to highlight the economic perils of a potential
deflationary threat. Bond investors responded by driving interest rates to
historic lows on market expectations for further easing of monetary policy. This
trend was dramatically reversed mid-year, however, as bond investors initiated a
full-scale re-evaluation of economic expectations, as the Fed delivered a
less-than-anticipated 25 basis-point rate cut and noticeably reduced
deflationary concerns. Over the balance of the year, continued nervousness about
stubborn job growth and the increased demand for U.S. government holdings from
foreign investors finally lent some solace to the market, and rates settled
down. By year's end and through the first month of 2004, the market finally
started to see tangible evidence of the long-awaited economic recovery, as
accommodative fiscal and monetary policy, combined with unflagging consumer
spending, produced robust GDP.


Analysis

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, the Short-Duration Government Fund,
Class A posted a 1.55% return compared to a 2.12% return for its benchmark, the
Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Bond Index. The Fund's performance was
negatively affected by the increase in interest rates for the period. Yields on
two and five year Treasury notes rose 11 and 21 basis points, respectively, as
the economic recovery eventually took hold. The Fund's flattening yield curve
posture was also marginally detrimental to performance later in the period, as
the Fed anchored short term rates to the 1% Fed funds rate and forced the yield
curve to remain historically steep. Positive performance was derived from the
off-benchmark allocations to Agency debentures, which provided the Fund with
incremental yield even as negative headline risk associated with accounting
restatements at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae contributed to volatility in the
market. Additionally, exposure to the mortgage sector enhanced performance, as
security selection emphasized 15-year mortgages and well-structured securities
that were less sensitive to prepayments.

Intermediate-Duration Government Fund
WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLP, INVESTMENT ADVISER
FISCAL YEAR ENDED 1/31/04

Objectives

The Intermediate-Duration Government Fund (the "Fund") seeks to preserve
principal value and maintain liquidity while providing current income. The Fund
invests in securities issued by the U.S. Government and backed by its full faith
and credit and securities issued by U.S. Government agencies. The weighted
average maturity of the Fund is three to five years. The Fund seeks to provide a
higher level of sustainable income and total return than money market
investments, with limited principal fluctuations.


Strategy

The Fund's weighted average maturity will be managed to take advantage of
anticipated changes in interest rates. The distribution of maturities for
individual securities will also be managed to take advantage of expected changes
in the yield curve. The Fund focuses on Treasury and agency securities, and
agency mortgage-backed securities will be utilized when their prospects for
enhancing income and total return are judged to be attractive.


Market Overview

The bond market produced the fourth consecutive year of positive returns in
2003, despite marginally higher interest rates and a roller-coaster ride of
geopolitical and economic milestones. The first half of the year witnessed a
significant decrease in interest rates due to a stumbling economy, rising
unemployment, and uncertainty surrounding the buildup and aftermath of the war
in Iraq. In addition, the Federal Reserve further fueled the rally by utilizing
fairly heated rhetoric to highlight the economic perils of a potential
deflationary threat. Bond investors responded by driving interest rates to
historic lows on market expectations for further easing of monetary policy. This
trend was dramatically reversed mid-year, however, as bond investors initiated a

down. By year's end and through the first month of 2004, the market finally
started to see tangible evidence of the long-awaited economic recovery, as
accommodative fiscal and monetary policy, combined with unflagging consumer
spending, produced robust GDP.


Analysis

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, the Intermediate-Duration Government
Fund, Class A posted a return of 2.98% versus the 3.52% return of its benchmark,
the Merrill Lynch 3-5 Year U.S. Treasury Bond Index. While the Fund experienced
positive performance for the year, it proved to be a very difficult environment
for intermediate-term securities due to interest rate swings and steepening of
the yield curve. The Fund was rewarded in the beginning of the period by its
exposure to mortgage-backed securities, as the sector saw strong investor
demand, especially from commercial banks. Additionally, the selection of 15-year
mortgage securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC provided incremental yield as well
amid better prepayment protection from the decline in interest rates early in
2003. However, the increase in interest rates toward the end of the year,
particularly in the 5-year maturity of the yield curve, detracted from
performance, as Treasury yields increased by 50 basis points. The widening of
swap spreads during this time also proved to be detrimental to performance while
off-benchmark allocations to agency debentures added to performance for the
period, providing additional yield for the portfolio.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE
SEI DAILY INCOME TRUST -- JANUARY 31, 2004


GNMA Fund
WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLP, INVESTMENT ADVISER
FISCAL YEAR ENDED 1/31/04

Objectives

The GNMA Fund (the "Fund") seeks to preserve principal value and maintain a high
degree of liquidity while providing current income. The Fund invests primarily
in mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage
Association and backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.


Strategy

The Fund's investment strategy emphasizes the distribution of security coupon
rates, the weighted average coupon rate, and the selection of appropriate
underlying mortgage types. The selection of coupon rates affects the sensitivity
of the Fund to changes in reinvestment risk associated with loan prepayment. The
Fund will therefore tend to purchase somewhat lower coupons when interest rates
are expected to fall, and somewhat higher coupons when interest rates are
expected to be stable or rising.


Market Overview

The bond market produced the fourth consecutive year of positive returns in
2003, despite marginally higher interest rates and a roller-coaster ride of
geopolitical and economic milestones. The first half of the year witnessed a
significant decrease in interest rates due to a stumbling economy, rising
unemployment, and uncertainty surrounding the buildup and aftermath of the war
in Iraq. In addition, the Federal Reserve further fueled the rally by utilizing
fairly heated rhetoric to highlight the economic perils of a potential
deflationary threat. Bond investors responded by driving interest rates to
historic lows on market expectations for further easing of monetary policy. This
trend was dramatically reversed mid-year, however, as bond investors initiated a
full-scale re-evaluation of economic expectations, as the Fed delivered a
less-than-anticipated 25 basis-point rate cut and noticeably reduced
deflationary concerns. Over the balance of the year, continued nervousness about
stubborn job growth and the increased demand for U.S. government holdings from
foreign investors finally lent some solace to the market, and rates settled
down. By year's end and through the first month of 2004, the market finally
started to see tangible evidence of the long-awaited economic recovery, as
accommodative fiscal and monetary policy, combined with unflagging consumer
spending, produced robust GDP.

Mortgage-backed securities generally underperformed most other fixed income
sectors for the period, despite a significant rebound in performance in the
final months of the fiscal period. The record-setting decline in interest rates
during the first half of 2003 prompted massive consumer refinancing activity,
while the increase in volatility due to the summer spike in rates proved to be a
difficult environment for the sector. In the later part of 2003 and early 2004,
the mortgage market provided incremental return, as interest rates somewhat
stabilized and investor demand held steady.


Analysis

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, the GNMA Fund posted a net return of
2.16%, slightly underperforming the Citigroup 30-Year GNMA Index (previously
named Salomon 30-Year GNMA Index), which posted a 3.12% net return. Throughout
the period, the GNMA Fund benefited from a concentration in seasoned GNMA
mortgage pools, holdings in 15 year mortgage-backed securities, and
off-benchmark allocations to FNMA Delegated Underwriting and Servicing bonds.
Mortgage-backed securities experienced periods of extreme volatility throughout
the period, as interest rates dramatically fell in the first half of 2003 and
consumers refinanced their mortgage loans at a record pace. By investing in the
older seasoned loans and securities that were less interest rate sensitive, the
Fund was better insulated from this dramatic rate decline and the accompanying
escalation of prepayments. However, the spike in interest rates during the
summer months wreaked havoc with the overall mortgage market, causing duration
to lengthen and the market to become even more sensitive to changes in interest
rates. The Fund was also detrimentally affected by these swings in rates.
However, while the tactical duration positioning of the portfolio detracted from
performance during this time frame, it was offset by incremental return as the
mortgage market stabilized later in the year.

Corporate Daily Income Fund
WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLP, INVESTMENT ADVISER
FISCAL YEAR ENDED 1/31/04

Objectives

The Corporate Daily Income Fund (the "Fund") seeks to provide a higher current
income than typically offered by a money market fund while maintaining
liquidity. The Fund invests in U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency securities,
short-average-life mortgage-backed securities, and short term investment grade
securities of U.S. issuers. The duration of the Fund will range between six and
eighteen months.


Strategy

The Fund seeks to provide a return in excess of the Lehman Brothers 9-12 Month
Treasury Index and to manage risk through the adviser's use of sector
strategies, security selection and duration management. In determining the
average maturity and duration position of the Fund, the adviser considers the
shape of the yield curve, the extent of yield changes and the period of time
over which rates are likely to rise, fall or remain stable. Investment in
short-average-life mortgage-backed issues and short-term investment grade
securities is emphasized when relative spreads are attractive and incremental
yields serve to enhance total return.


Market Overview

The bond market produced the fourth consecutive year of positive returns in
2003, despite marginally higher interest rates and a roller-coaster ride of
geopolitical and economic milestones. The first half of the year witnessed a
significant decrease in interest rates due to a stumbling economy, rising
unemployment, and uncertainty surrounding the buildup and aftermath of the war
in Iraq. In addition, the Federal Reserve further fueled the rally by utilizing
fairly heated rhetoric to highlight the economic perils of a potential
deflationary threat. Bond investors responded by driving interest rates to
historic lows on market expectations for further easing of monetary policy. This
trend was dramatically reversed mid-year, however, as bond investors initiated a
full-scale re-evaluation of economic expectations, as the Fed delivered a
less-than-anticipated 25 basis-point rate cut and noticeably reduced
deflationary concerns. Over the balance of the year, continued nervousness about
stubborn job growth and the increased demand for U.S. government holdings from
foreign investors finally lent some solace to the market, and rates settled
down. By year's end and through the first month of 2004, the market finally
started to see tangible evidence of the long awaited economic recovery, as
accommodative fiscal and monetary policy, combined with unflagging consumer
spending, produced robust GDP.


Analysis

For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004, the Corporate Daily Income Fund
returned 1.61% and outperformed the Lehman Brothers 9-12 Month Treasury Index by
14 basis points. The Fund's allocation to the credit sector substantially added
to performance, as spreads tightened due to improved corporate profitability and
a rebound in economic growth. Investments in higher-yielding mortgage-backed and
asset-backed securities also enhanced performance, as both of these sectors
outperformed duration-equivalent treasuries for the period.

SEI DAILY INCOME TRUST -- JANUARY 31, 2004


Report of Independent Auditors


TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF SEI DAILY INCOME TRUST:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of SEI Daily Income
Trust (comprising, respectively, the Money Market Fund, Government Fund,
Government II Fund, Prime Obligation Fund, Treasury Fund, Treasury II Fund,
Short-Duration Government Fund, Intermediate-Duration Government Fund, GNMA
Fund, and Corporate Daily Income Fund) (the "Trust") as of January 31, 2004, and
the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in
the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits. The financial highlights for the periods presented through January 31,
2002 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations and whose report
dated March 15, 2002 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2004, by correspondence with
the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where
replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the respective portfolios constituting the SEI Daily Income Trust, as of
January 31, 2004, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the
changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for each of the two
years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Notes to Financial Statements


1. ORGANIZATION

SEI Daily Income 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
a diversified, open-end investment company with ten operational Funds: the Money
Market, Government, Government II, Prime Obligation, Treasury, Treasury II (each
a "Fund", collectively the "Money Market Funds"), the Short-Duration Government,
Intermediate-Duration Government, GNMA, and Corporate Daily Income (each a
"Fund", collectively the "Fixed Income Funds"). The Funds' prospectuses provide
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.

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 reported
amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets at the date
of the financial statements and the reported results of operations during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SECURITY VALUATION -- Investment securities of the Money Market Funds are stated
at amortized cost which approximates market value. Under this valuation method,
purchase discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized ratably to maturity
and are included in interest income.

Investment securities of the Fixed Income Funds, which are listed on a
securities exchange for which market quotations are available, are valued by an
independent pricing service at the last quoted sales price for such securities
on each business day. If there is no such reported sale, those securities for
which market quotations are not readily available are valued at the most
recently quoted bid price. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are
not readily available, of which there were none on January 31, 2004, are valued
at the most recently quoted price with estimates of such values determined under
certain market conditions using procedures determined in good faith by the Board
of Trustees. Debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining until maturity
may be valued at their amortized cost.

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 securities are
those of the specific securities sold, adjusted for the accretion and
amortization of purchase discounts and premiums during the respective holding
period. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Purchase discounts and
premiums on securities held in the Fixed Income Funds are accreted and amortized
over the life of each security. Paydown gains and losses are classified as
interest income.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by each Fund's custodian bank until maturity of the
repurchase agreements. Provisions of the agreements and procedures adopted by
SEI Investments Fund Management (the "Administrator") ensure that the market
value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in
the event of default by the counterparty. The Funds also invest in tri-party
repurchase agreements. Securities held as collateral for tri-party repurchase
agreements are maintained by the broker's custodian bank in a segregated account
until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the agreements ensure
that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is
sufficient in the event of default. If the counterparty defaults and the value
of the collateral declines, or if the counterparty enters into an insolvency
proceeding, realization of the collateral by a Fund may be delayed or limited.

TBA AND OTHER PURCHASE COMMITMENTS -- The Funds may engage in "to be announced"
("TBA") security transactions. Such transactions involve commitments to purchase
securities for a fixed price at a future date. Purchase commitments may be
considered securities and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to
be purchased declines prior to settlement date, which risk is in addition to the
risk of decline in the value of a Fund's other assets. Unsettled purchase
commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities,
according to the procedures described under "Security Valuation" above.

CLASSES -- Class-specific expenses are borne by that Class of shares. Income,
realized and unrealized gains/losses and non-class-specific expenses are
allocated to the respective class on the basis of relative daily net assets.

EXPENSES -- Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged
directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust, which are not
directly associated to a specific Fund, are prorated to the Funds on the basis
of relative net assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)




DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends and distributions to
shareholders, which are determined in accordance with Federal tax regulations,
are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are
declared on a daily basis and are payable on the first business day of the
following month. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities for a
Fund are distributed to its shareholders at least annually.

3. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

administrative, and shareholder services to the Funds for annual fees, based on

of SEI Investments Company ("SEI Investments"), and a registered broker-dealer,

6. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

It is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment
company for Federal income tax purposes and distribute all of its taxable income
(including net capital gains). Accordingly, no provision for Federal income
taxes is required.

Reclassification of components of net assets -- The timing and characterization
of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in
accordance with Federal tax regulations which may differ from accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. As a result, net investment
income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for the
reporting period may differ 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 periods that the
differences arise. Accordingly the following permanent differences, have been
classified to/from the following accounts during the fiscal year ended January
31, 2004:

                                                Undistributed       Accumulated
                                               Net Investment      Net Realized

general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements
is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore,
cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such
claim is considered remote.
