CASH MANAGEMENT TRUST -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [LOGO OF NEW ENGLAND FUNDS APPEARS HERE] ------------------------------------ Annual Report and Performance Update ------------------------------------ New England Money Market Funds ------------- June 30, 1995 ------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 20, 1995 Dear Shareholder: We have good news to present in this Annual Report for New England Money Market Funds, which includes your Portfolio Manager's commentary and complete financial information. Market Overview Investors who stayed the course in 1995 were amply rewarded. Major U.S. stock market indices soared to record highs and the bond market staged a spectacular comeback from its 1994 lows. Fueling the rally was clear evidence that the economy had begun to slow down as a result of the interest rate hikes engineered by the Federal Reserve Board to keep inflation in check. Indeed, with declining housing starts and rising unemployment numbers reported in the first half of 1995, expectations grew that the Fed's next move would be downward, to prevent the slowing economy from slipping into recession. The bond market surged at the prospect of lower rates, and the stock market followed suit, with the Standard & Poor's 500(R) Index gaining 20.14% during the first half of the year. The large, blue-chip companies led the way, in part because a weak U.S. dollar gave them a competitive advantage overseas and contributed to surprisingly healthy earnings reports. Finally, on July 6, just after this reporting period ended, the Fed lowered a key short-term rate by 0.25%, a relatively modest move, but a significant psychological change in direction. Your Financial Adviser -- A Trusted Ally As a shareholder in New England Funds, you have a valuable ally you can turn to at all times -- your financial adviser. This experienced -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- professional can help you design an asset allocation program suitable to your goals and risk tolerance.

Your adviser will help you place short-term market swings in their proper perspective and keep you focused on your long-term investment program.

Schmelzer Chairman President -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New England Money Market Funds -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW ENGLAND MONEY MARKET FUNDS 1995 PERFORMANCE REVIEW From February 1994 through February 1995, the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term rates seven times in an effort to slow down a rapidly growing economy and ward off potential inflationary pressures. Throughout 1994 and into 1995, yields on New England Money Market Funds rose in response to the Fed's actions. Indeed, yields reached their highest level in recent years. However, during the first six months of the year evidence accumulated that the economy had slowed dramatically in response to the Fed's monetary policy. The markets began to anticipate that the Fed would be forced to reduce rates to prevent the economy from slipping into recession. Then, on July 6 (just after the end of this reporting period), the Fed reversed direction and lowered short-term rates by a modest 0.25%, signaling a possible change in interest rate policy. New England Cash Management Trust -- Money Market Series and U.S. Government Series [PHOTO APPEARS HERE] Portfolio Manager: Scott Nicholson, Back Bay Advisors, L.P.(R) Shareholders in New England Cash Management Trust enjoyed high rates throughout the first half of the year as the effects of the Fed's interest rate hikes worked their way through the system. At June 30, 1995, the 7-day yield for the Money Market Series stood at 5.47% (compared to 5.02% on December 31, 1994), while the 7-day yield for the U.S. Government Series was 5.72% 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New England Money Market Funds -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (versus 4.90% on December 31, 1994). The 7-day yields for both Series as of June 30 continue to compare favorably with the average money market deposit account (MMDA), which was yielding 3.42%. (Source: Wall Street Journal, 7/6/95)./1/ How We Positioned Your Fund In a period of rising interest rates, money market fund managers will reduce the average days to maturity of their Fund's holdings so that assets can be quickly rolled over into higher-yielding instruments. During periods of declining rates, the average maturity of the fund will be extended, in order to lock in the higher yields for as long as possible. At the end of 1994, we believed that economic growth would perhaps pause for a short while and then continue on its upward path, leading to continued interest rate hikes by the Fed. Accordingly, we shortened the average maturity of the Cash Management Trust (which had dipped as low as 26 days on the Money Market Series at year-end). In the first few months of 1995, our outlook on the economy began to shift. As the evidence mounted that the economy was indeed slowing, we thought it less likely that the Fed would continue raising rates and that it might even reverse trend. Consequently, we lengthened the average maturity to 55 days for the Money Market Series and to approximately 50 days for the U.S. Government Series. At mid-year our outlook is generally positive, although concerns remain that lower interest rates may spur excessive growth in the economy later in the year. 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New England Money Market Funds -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outlook for Our Shareholders We have probably seen the peak of the current interest rate cycle and we think that yields will stabilize or edge downward from their June 30 levels. Of course, this scenario could change if economic numbers in the latter part of the year point toward resurgent inflation; we will be looking for signs of an economic rebound later in the year that would cause the Fed to keep short rates at current levels for an extended period of time. No matter the economic climate, however, New England Cash Management Trust can form a key part of an investor's portfolio. We manage both funds conservatively, following strict investment guidelines to seek high current income and stability./1/ For those investors looking for added credit safety, the U.S. Government Series offers the security of a portfolio made up solely of instruments backed by the U.S. Government. The U.S. government guarantee applies to the underlying securities and not to shares of the Fund. New England Tax Exempt Money Market Trust [PHOTO APPEARS HERE] Portfolio Manager: John Maloney, Back Bay Advisors, L.P.(R) Following the strategy described above with the Cash Management Trust, we extended the average maturity of your Fund from around 44 days at year end 1994 to 62 days at June 30, 1995, in anticipation of lower interest rates. Our goal was to lock in the higher tax-free yields for as long as possible. At mid-year, the 7-day yield on 3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New England Money Market Funds -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the Tax Exempt Money Market Trust stood at 3.64%, which translates into a taxable equivalent yield of 6.02% for an investor in the maximum federal tax bracket of 39.6%. We are pleased to report that your Fund's year to date return placed it in the top quartile of 128 tax exempt money funds, as reported by Lipper Analytical Services, a leading mutual fund monitoring service./2/ High Quality Your Fund maintains a very high credit quality, invest-ing only in top tier municipal securities. In light of the recent news reports concerning Orange County, California, we would like to emphasize that your Fund does not and did not hold any Orange County paper, and the California debt we do own is secured by Letters of Credit. Supply/Demand Factors The tax exempt money market is subject to special pressures resulting from a unique supply/demand situation. For example, June is the largest supply month for one-year notes and most tax exempt funds will show a lengthening in their average maturity during this time of the year. In addition, the short-term municipal market is highly dependent on the dynamics of the intermediate and long-term markets. If the longer maturity funds are in a defensive mode, they move more towards highly liquid, short-term securities, such as those held by your Fund. This buying activity by the long maturity funds exerts downward pressure on the yields in the short-term market, which is what we have been experiencing in 1995. 4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New England Money Market Funds -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outlook for Our Shareholders We believe that the current interest rate cycle has peaked and that rates will most likely stabilize or edge downward from here. Much will depend, of course, on the pace of economic activity in the latter part of 1995. If the economy strengthens, then the Fed may be forced to reverse course and increase rates. However, no matter what the economic climate, shareholders in New England Tax Exempt Money Market Trust can be confident that their fund is invested in highly liquid, high-quality instruments, providing current income that is sheltered from federal income taxes./3/ /1/ Money Market Funds are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government.

Expressed as a percentage. Income Distributions - Payments to shareholders resulting from the net interest or dividend income earned by a fund's portfolio. Capital Gains Distributions - Payments to shareholders of profits earned from selling securities in a fund's portfolio. Capital gains distributions are usually paid once a year. Yield - The rate at which a fund pays income. Yield calculations for 7-day periods are standardized among mutual funds, based on a formula developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Maturity - Refers to the period of time before principal repayment on a bond is due. A bond fund's "average maturity" refers to the weighted average of the maturities of all the individual bonds in the portfolio. Duration - A measure, stated in years, of a bond or bond fund's sensitivity to interest rates. Duration is a means to directly compare the volatility of different instruments. As a general rule, for every 1% move in interest rates, a fund is expected to fluctuate in value as indicated by its duration. For example, if interest rates fall by 1%, a fund with a duration of 4 years should rise in value 4%. Conversely, the fund should decline by 4% if interest rates rise 1%. Treasuries - Negotiable debt obligations of the U.S. government, secured by its full faith and credit. The income from treasury securities is exempt from state and local income taxes, but not from federal income taxes. There are three types of treasuries: Bills (maturity of 3-12 months), Notes (maturity of 1-10 years) and Bonds (maturity of 10-30 years). Municipal Bond - A debt security issued by a state or municipality to finance public expenditures. Interest payments are exempt from federal taxes and in most cases from state and local income taxes. The two main types are General Obligation (GO) Bonds, which are backed by the full faith and credit and taxing powers of the municipality; and Revenue Bonds, supported by the revenues from a municipal enterprise, such as airports and toll bridges. 7 [LOGO OF NEW ENGLAND FUNDS APPEARS HERE] Portfolio Composition, Financial Statements and Highlights NEW ENGLAND MONEY MARKET FUNDS June 30, 1995 PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION Cash Management Trust-- Money Market Series Investments as of June 30, 1995 INVESTMENTS--99.9% OF TOTAL NET ASSETS

See accompanying notes to financial statements. 15 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 1995 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. New England Cash Management Trust and New England Tax Exempt Money Market Trust (the "Trusts") are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified, open-end investment companies. NEW ENGLAND CASH MANAGEMENT TRUST--The Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust permits the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, no par value, in separate Series, with shares of each Series representing interests in a separate portfolio of assets. Effective September 13, 1993, each Series began offering two classes of shares, Class A and Class B, in order to enable investors in either class of the New England Stock or Bond Funds to invest in money market shares. Class A and B shares are identical except that Class B shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption if the shares were acquired by exchange of Class B shares of a stock or bond fund. Each Series is separately managed and has its own objectives and policies. The Trust is comprised of the Money Market Series and the U.S. Government Series. NEW ENGLAND TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET TRUST--The Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust permits the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, no par value. Effective September 13, 1993, the Trust began offering two classes of shares, Class A and Class B, in order to enable investors in either class of the New England Stock or Bond Funds to invest in money market shares. Class A and B shares are identical except that Class B shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption if the shares were acquired by exchange of Class B shares of a stock or bond fund. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts in the preparation of the financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies. A. SECURITY VALUATION. The Trusts employ the amortized cost method of security valuation as set forth in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 which, in the opinion of the trustees of each Trust, represents the fair value of the particular security. The amortized cost of a security is determined by valuing it at original cost and thereafter amortizing any discount or premium on a straight-line basis. B. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Trusts, through their custodian, receive delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing repurchase agreements. It is the Trust's policy that the market value of the collateral be at least equal to 100% of the repurchase price. Back Bay Advisors, L.P. ("Back Bay Advisors") is responsible for determining that the value of the collateral is at all times at least equal to the repurchase price. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, if the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Trusts may be delayed or limited. 16 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--continued June 30, 1995 C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. In determining the net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities is determined on the identified cost basis. D. WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. Delivery and payment for securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis can take place one month or more after the date of the transaction. The securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. At June 30, 1995, the cost of when issued purchase commitments for the Tax Exempt Money Market Trust amounted to $3,520,570. E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. Each Series of the Cash Management Trust and the Tax Exempt Money Market Trust intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders all of its taxable and tax exempt income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax has been made. F. DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily to shareholders of record at the time and are paid monthly. G. OTHER. Each of the Trusts invests primarily in a portfolio of money market instruments maturing in 397 days or less whose ratings are within the two highest ratings categories of a nationally recognized rating agency or, if not rated, are believed to be of comparable quality. The ability of the issuers of the securities held by the Trusts to meet their obligations may be affected by foreign, economic, political and legal developments in the case of foreign banks or foreign branches or subsidiaries of U.S. banks, or domestic, economic developments in a specific industry, state or region. 2. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS. For the year ended June 30, 1995: NEW ENGLAND CASH MANAGEMENT TRUST--Purchase and sales or maturities of short- term obligations, including securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements, aggregated $5,993,472,617 and $6,075,795,455, respectively, for the Money Market Series. Purchases and sales or maturities of United States government obligations, including securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements, aggregated $8,776,548,418 and $8,778,942,830, respectively, for the U.S. Government Series. NEW ENGLAND TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET TRUST--Purchases and sales or maturities of short-term obligations aggregated $225,482,192 and $225,654,330, respectively. 3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. A. During the year ended June 30, 1995, the Trusts incurred management fees payable to the Trusts' investment adviser, Back Bay Advisors, certain officers and directors of which are also officers and trustees of the Trusts. Back Bay Advisors is a 17 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--continued June 30, 1995 wholly-owned subsidiary of New England Investment Companies, L.P. ("NEIC") which is a majority owned subsidiary of New England Mutual Life Insurance Company. NEW ENGLAND CASH MANAGEMENT TRUST--Under the Management agreements, each Series pays Back Bay Advisors a monthly fee based on the annual percentage rates of the corresponding levels of that Series' average daily net asset values as set forth below:
ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE ANNUAL NET ASSET VALUE LEVELS ---------- ------------------------------- .425% the first $500 million .400% the next $500 million .350% the next $500 million .300% the next $500 million .250% amounts in excess of $2 billion
During the year ended June 30, 1995, the Money Market Series incurred management fees of $2,796,164 and the U.S. Government Series incurred management fees of $255,727. NEW ENGLAND TAX EXEMPT MONEY MARKET TRUST--The management agreement provides for a fee at the annual rate of 4/10 of 1% on the first $100,000,000 of the Trust's average daily net assets and 3/10 of 1% on average daily net assets above this amount. During the year ended June 30, 1995, the Trust incurred gross management fees of $281,837. Back Bay Advisors has voluntarily agreed, until further notice, to reduce the management fee and, if necessary, to assume Trust expenses in order to limit the expenses to 0.5625 of 1% of average net assets per year. As a result of exceeding the expense limitation, management fees for the year ended June 30, 1995 were reduced by $199,639. B. TRANSFER AGENT FEES. New England Funds is the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Trusts. For the year ended June 30, 1995, the New England Cash Management Trust and Tax Exempt Money Market Trust paid $2,111,479 and $76,391, respectively, to New England Funds as compensation for its services in that capacity. 4. TRUSTEES FEES AND EXPENSES. The Trusts do not pay any compensation to officers or trustees who are directors, officers, or employees of Back Bay Advisors, NEIC, New England Funds or their affiliates, other than registered investment companies. 18 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--continued June 30, 1995 Each disinterested trustee is compensated by each series of the Cash Management Trust and by the Tax Exempt Money Market Trust as follows:
TAX EXEMPT MONEY MONEY MARKET SERIES U.S. GOV'T SERIES MARKET TRUST ------------------- ----------------- ---------------- Annual Retainer $2,400 $1,600 $1,600 Meeting Fee $125/meeting $125/meeting $125/meeting Committee Meeting Fee $75/meeting $75/meeting $75/meeting Committee Chairman Annual Retainer $125 $125 $125
A deferred compensation plan is available to members of the boards of trustees. A trustee's participation in the plan is voluntary. Each participating trustee will receive an amount equal to the value that such deferred compensation would have, had it been invested in the relevant series or Trust on the normal payment date. 5. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT. The Tax Exempt Money Market Trust had the following industry concentrations in excess of 10% on June 30, 1995 as a percentage of the Trust's total net assets: Education (11%), Government (16%), Hospitals (28%), Housing (16%), and Utilities (18%). The Trust also had more than 10% of its total net assets invested in Florida (18%) and had more than 10% of its net assets backed by letters of credit with Sumitomo Bank (15%). 19 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of New England Cash Management Trust and New England Tax Exempt Money Market Trust In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, 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 each of the two series of the New England Cash Management Trust and New England Tax Exempt Money Market Trust (formerly TNE Cash Management Trust and the TNE Tax Exempt Money Market Trust) at June 30, 1995, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trusts' 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 generally accepted auditing standards 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 June 30, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
