The Portfolio Management Team

A group of investment professionals is responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund. These investment professionals have a broad range of experience in managing money market funds.

In the following interview, Lead Portfolio Manager Darlene Rasel and other members of the fund's investment team discuss the market environment and the team's approach to managing Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund during its most recent fiscal year ended May 31, 2004.

Q: Will you discuss the market environment for the fund during the most recent 12-month period?

A: In June 2003 the Federal Reserve had lowered the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 1% - which we expected - while much of Wall Street was anticipating a 50-basis-point cut. The faltering US economy began to stabilize in late summer/early fall 2003 and the money market yield curve steepened somewhat, indicating slightly higher rates for longer maturities.1 At that time, longer maturities sold off - and their corresponding interest rates rose - in anticipation of future Fed interest rate increases meant to dampen inflationary pressures. As economic recovery gathered momentum over the months following - with the government reporting 8% and 4% GDP growth for the third and fourth quarters, respectively - the market's focus turned to job creation: i.e., when would sufficient jobs be created in order to take up excess economic capacity and cause the Fed to switch from an accommodative to a tightening bias? (When it is in an accommodative stance, the Fed will keep interest rates low to spur economic growth. During a tightening phase, the Fed raises interest rates to keep the economy from growing too fast, in an attempt to restrain inflation.)

1 Yield curve - a graph showing the term structure of interest rates by plotting the yields of all debt instruments (e.g., money market securities) of the same quality with maturities ranging from the shortest to the longest appropriate maturities. A steepening yield curve means that the current trend is for yields to become higher as the maturities of money market instruments lengthen. For example, a one-year security would have a higher yield than a money market instrument with a six-month maturity.

With every monthly announcement during the first quarter of 2004, investors grew more and more disappointed, as job creation remained subdued. Money market yields reacted accordingly, with the one-year LIBOR declining from 1.60% at the start of this year to 1.35% by the end of March.2 At its meetings during the first quarter the Fed held short-term interest rates steady, and the market's forecast for the start of Fed tightening was pushed back to late 2004 or early 2005. Then, in early April, fixed income markets experienced a dramatic turnaround as the government reported that the economy had created more than 300,000 new jobs in March. With this surprising news, short-term interest rates as represented by the one-year LIBOR rate spiked from 1.30% to 1.85%. Expectations concerning the timing of a shift in Fed policy also changed, with many market participants now expecting fed funds rate increases as early as June. The May jobs report was also strong, and the Fed now hinted that it would change its policy and begin to raise interest rates "at a measured pace" in the near future. Markets once again reacted swiftly, with the LIBOR rate rising as high as 2.26%. (Following the close of the period, the Fed raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points in late June, stating that it would conduct its credit tightening program "at a pace that is likely to be measured.")

2 LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate, is the most widely used benchmark or reference rate for short-term interest rates. LIBOR is the rate of interest at which banks borrow funds from other banks, in large volume, in the international market.

Q: In light of market conditions during the period, what has been the fund's strategy?

A: During the period, we pursued a "barbell" strategy, buying short-term securities, including very short-term repurchase agreements, as well as longer-term Treasury bills.3 The purpose of this dual strategy was to benefit from higher longer-term rates, while at the same time remaining cautious by keeping a significant portion of the portfolio in short-term instruments. At the close of the period, the fund's average maturity was 51 days.

3 Repurchase Agreement (Repo) - an agreement between a seller and a buyer, usually of government securities, where the seller agrees to repurchase the securities at a given price and usually at a stated time. Repos are widely used money market instruments that serve as an interest-bearing, short-term "parking place" for large sums of money.

Q: How did the fund perform over its most recent fiscal year?

A: During the 12-month period ended May 31, 2004, the seven-day yield of Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund declined from 0.54% on May 31, 2003 to 0.40% on May 31, 2004. These figures represent both the subsidized and nonsubsidized yields. All performance is historical and does not guarantee futures results. The yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the money market fund than the total return quotation. Yields fluctuate and are not guaranteed. Recent declines and any future declines in interest rate levels could cause this fund's earnings to fall below the fund's expense ratio, resulting in negative yield. The advisor has agreed to waive expenses as necessary to maintain a positive yield. The waiver may be changed or terminated at any time without notice. For current yield information, please visit our Web site for the fund's most recent month-end performance: myScudder.com for S shares and aarp.scudder.com for AARP shares.

Q: What detracted from performance during the period?

A: The swift increase in job growth announced in early April came as a surprise, as we've said. At the time, we

were anticipating a fed funds rate increase in August. The news about jobs, and the market's reaction in raising short-term interest rates dramatically, detracted from performance as the fund's average maturity was longer than it would have been if we were expecting a shift in Fed policy sooner than August. If we had anticipated that the Fed would switch policy in June, we would have exercised additional caution and waited longer to extend the fund's maturity.

Q: Do you foresee any change in your management strategies?

We continue to apply a careful approach to investing on behalf of the fund and to seek competitive yields for our shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements


A. Significant Accounting Policies

Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end, diversified management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The Fund offers multiple classes of shares. Shares of Class AARP are designed for members of AARP. Class S shares of the Fund are generally not available to new investors.

Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses and expense reductions, if any, are borne pro rata on the basis of relative net assets by the holders of both classes of shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting subject to class-specific arrangements.

The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund, through its custodian or sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The custodian bank holds the collateral in a separate account until the agreement matures. If the value of the securities falls below the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest, the financial institution deposits additional collateral by the following business day. If the financial institution either fails to deposit the required additional collateral or fails to repurchase the securities as agreed, the Fund has the right to sell the securities and recover any resulting loss from the financial institution. If the financial institution enters into bankruptcy, the Fund's claims on the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Federal Income Taxes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

At May 31, 2004, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $1,300, which may be applied against any realized net taxable gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until May 31, 2012 ($1,300), the expiration date, whichever occurs first.

In addition, from November 1, 2003 through May 31, 2004, the Fund incurred approximately $2,000 of net realized capital losses. As permitted by tax regulations, the Fund intends to elect to defer these losses and treat them as arising in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2005.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly. For purposes of the daily dividend, net investment income includes all realized gains (losses) on portfolio securities.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book-to-tax differences for the Fund.

At May 31, 2004, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income*
$ 243,818
Capital loss carryforwards
$ (1,300)

In addition, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund is summarized as follows:

Years Ended May 31,


2004

2003

Distributions from ordinary income
$ 793,718 $ 2,516,485

* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All discounts and premiums are amortized/accreted for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

B. Related Parties

Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM" or the "Advisor"), the Advisor directs the investments of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Fund. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. The management fee payable under the Management Agreement is equal to an annual rate of 0.40% of the first $500,000,000 of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.385% of the next $500,000,000 of such net assets and 0.37% of such net assets in excess of $1,000,000,000, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. Accordingly, for the year ended May 31, 2004, the fee pursuant to the Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Administrative Fee. Under the Administrative Agreement, the Advisor provided or paid others to provide substantially all of the administrative services required by the Fund (other than those provided by the Advisor under its Management Agreement with the Fund, as described above) in exchange for the payment by each class of the Fund of an administrative services fee (the "Administrative Fee") of 0.40% of average daily net assets of each class, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly.

The Administrative Agreement between the Advisor and the Fund terminated effective March 31, 2004 and beginning April 1, 2004, the Fund directly bears the cost of those expenses formerly covered under the Administrative Agreement.

For the period June 1, 2003 through March 31, 2004, the Administrative Fee was as follows:

Effective October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2005, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses of each class at 1.00% of average daily net assets (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest, Rule 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees and trustee and trustee counsel fees).

In addition, for the period April 1, 2004 through September 30, 2005, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse or pay certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the operating expenses of each class at 0.65% of average daily net assets (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest, Rule 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees and trustee and trustee counsel fees).

For the year ended May 31, 2004, the Advisor has agreed to reimburse the Fund an additional $202,141 for expenses.

Service Provider Fees.

Scudder Service Corporation ("SSC"), a subsidiary of the Advisor, is the transfer, dividend-paying agent and shareholder service agent for Class AARP and S shares of the Fund. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between SSC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), SSC has delegated certain transfer agent and dividend-paying agent functions to DST. The costs and expenses of such delegation are borne by SSC, not by the Fund. For the period April 1, 2004 through May 31, 2004, the amounts charged to the Fund by SSC were as follows:

Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation ("SFAC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is responsible for computing the daily net asset value per share and maintaining the portfolio and general accounting records of the Fund. SFAC has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company to provide certain administrative, fund accounting and record-keeping services to the Fund. For the period April 1, 2004 through May 31, 2004, the amount charged to the Fund by SFAC for accounting services aggregated $9,577, all of which is unpaid at May 31, 2004.

Prior to April 1, 2004, the service provider fees outlined above were paid by the Advisor in accordance with the Administrative Agreement.

Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Fund pays each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor retainer fees plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.

Other Related Parties. AARP through its affiliate, AARP Services, Inc., monitors and oversees the AARP Investment Program from Scudder Investments, but does not act as an investment advisor or recommend specific mutual funds. DeIM has agreed to pay a fee to AARP and/or its affiliates in return for the use of the AARP trademark and services relating to investments by AARP members in AARP Class shares of the Fund. This fee is calculated on a daily basis as a percentage of the combined net assets of the AARP classes of all funds managed by DeIM. The fee rates, which decrease as the aggregate net assets of the AARP classes become larger, are as follows: 0.07% of the first $6 billion of net assets, 0.06% of the next $10 billion and 0.05% thereafter. These amounts are used for the general purposes of AARP and its members.

C. Expense Off-Set Arrangement

The Fund has entered into an arrangement with its custodian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce a portion of the Fund's custodian expenses. During the year ended May 31, 2004, the custodian fee was reduced by $12 for custodian credits earned.

D. Line of Credit

The Fund and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility administered by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated, based upon net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent. The Fund may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under this agreement.

F. Regulatory Matters and Litigation

Since at least July 2003, federal, state and industry regulators have been conducting ongoing inquiries and investigations ("inquiries") into the mutual fund industry, and have requested information from numerous mutual fund companies, including Scudder Investments. We are unable to determine what the outcome of these inquiries will be or what the effect, if any, would be on the funds or their advisors. Publicity about mutual fund practices arising from these industry-wide inquiries serves as the general basis of a number of private lawsuits against the Scudder funds. These lawsuits, which previously have been reported in the press, involve purported class action and derivative lawsuits, making various allegations and naming as defendants various persons, including certain Scudder funds, Deutsche Asset Management ("DeAM") and its affiliates, certain individuals, including in some cases Fund Trustees/Directors, and other parties. DeAM has undertaken to bear all liabilities and expenses incurred by the Scudder funds in connection with these lawsuits, or other lawsuits or regulatory actions that may be filed making allegations similar to these lawsuits regarding fund valuation, market timing, revenue sharing or other subjects of the pending inquiries. Based on currently available information, DeAM believes the likelihood that the pending lawsuits will have a material adverse financial impact on a Scudder fund is remote and such actions are not likely to materially affect its ability to perform under its investment management agreements with the Scudder funds.


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Trustees and the Shareholders of Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund (the "Fund") at May 31, 2004, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at May 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Trustees and Officers


The following table presents certain information regarding the Trustees and Officers of the fund as of May 31, 2004. Each individual's year of birth is set forth in parentheses after his or her name. Unless otherwise noted, (i) each individual has engaged in the principal occupation(s) noted in the table for at least the most recent five years, although not necessarily in the same capacity, and (ii) the address of each Trustee is c/o Dawn-Marie Driscoll, PO Box 100176, Cape Coral, FL 33910. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each Officer is Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. The term of office for each Trustee is until the next meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of electing Trustees and until the election and qualification of a successor, or until such Trustee sooner dies, resigns, retires or is removed as provided in the governing documents of the fund. Because the fund does not hold an annual meeting of shareholders, each Trustee will hold office for an indeterminate period. The Trustees of the Trust may also serve in similar capacities with other funds in the fund complex.

ITEM 2.         CODE OF ETHICS.

As of the end of the period, May 31, 2004, Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund,
Inc. has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, that
applies to its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer.

There have been no amendments to, or waivers from, a provision of the code of
ethics during the period covered by this report that would require disclosure
under Item 2.

A copy of the code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR

ITEM 3.         AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The Funds' audit committee is comprised solely of trustees who are "independent"
(as such term has been defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
in regulations implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the
"Regulations")). The Funds' Board of Trustees has determined that there are
several "audit committee financial experts" serving on the Funds' audit
committee. The Board has determined that Louis E. Levy, the chair of the Funds'
audit committee, qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" (as such
term has been defined by the Regulations) based on its review of Mr. Levy's
pertinent experience and education. The SEC has stated that the designation or
identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to
this Item 3 of Form N-CSR does not impose on such person any duties, obligations
or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed
on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the
absence of such designation or identification. In accordance with New York Stock
Exchange requirements, the Board believes that all members of the Funds' audit
committee are financially literate, as such qualification is interpreted by the
Board in its business judgment, and that at least one member of the audit
committee has accounting or related financial management expertise.

ITEM 4.         PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

related directly to the Fund's operations and financial reporting. The Audit
Committee requested and received information from PWC about any non-audit
services that PWC rendered during the Fund's last fiscal year to the Adviser and
any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered this information
in evaluating PWC's independence.

ITEM 10. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) The Chief Executive and Financial Officers concluded that the Registrant's
Disclosure Controls and Procedures are effective based on the evaluation of the
Disclosure Controls and Procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing
date of this report.

During the filing period of the report, fund management identified a significant
deficiency relating to the overall fund expense payment and accrual process.
This matter relates primarily to a bill payment processing issue. There was no
material impact to shareholders, fund net asset value, fund performance or the
accuracy of any fund's financial statements. Fund management discussed this
matter with the Registrant's Audit Committee and auditors, instituted additional
procedures to enhance its internal controls and will continue to develop
additional controls and redesign work flow to strengthen the overall control
environment associated with the processing and recording of fund expenses.

(b) There have been no changes in the registrant's internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's last half-year (the
registrant's second fiscal half-year in the case of the annual report) that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
registrant's internal controls over financial reporting.
