Portfolio Management Review

In the following interview, Portfolio Managers Geoffrey Gibbs and Lee Rodon discuss the market environment and the portfolio team's approach to managing Cash Reserve Fund during the fund's most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

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

A: At the start of the Cash Reserve Fund's most recent fiscal year, US economic growth remained on track despite geopolitical uncertainty, rising oil prices and an emerging slowdown in the residential real estate market. First quarter 2006 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) had been robust, but economic growth gradually slowed. In the second, third and fourth quarters of last year, GDP came in at 2.6%, 2.0% and 2.5%, respectively, below long-term growth trends. The US Federal Reserve Board's (the Fed's) actions in raising short-term interest rates by one-quarter percentage point at each Fed meeting from June 2004 through June 2006 seemed — at least to some observers — to be bringing the economy in for a "perfect landing," i.e., slower growth with no significant resurgence in inflation.

Beginning at its August 2006 meeting, the Fed "paused" from further short-term rate hikes, believing that the rate increases already in the pipeline would bring inflation back to within the Fed's target range. At the close of the 12-month period ended March 31, 2007, the federal funds rate — the overnight rate charged by banks when they borrow money from each other, which guides other interest rates — remained at 5.25%. In the first quarter of this year, increasing defaults by subprime mortgage borrowers sparked volatility in the financial markets as investors wondered how badly Wall Street and the banking community would be hurt by a retrenchment in this market. But by mid-March, it seemed evident that the negative effects of the subprime crisis would be well contained. With oil prices off their record highs of last year, the economy appeared poised to maintain a moderate growth rate.

As of March 31, 2007, the one-year London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), an industry standard for measuring one-year taxable money market rates, stood at 5.22%, compared with 5.29% 12 months earlier.1

1 The 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: How did the Prime Series and the Treasury Series perform over its most recent fiscal year?

A: We were able to maintain a competitive yield for each series. (All performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Yields fluctuate and are not guaranteed.)

Q: In light of market conditions during the period, what has been the strategy for the Prime Series?

A: During the early part of the period, because of the uncertainty over when the Fed would halt its series of interest rate increases, our strategy was to keep the Prime Series' average maturity

relatively short in order to manage risk. For the period, we maintained a significant allocation in floating-rate securities. The interest rate of floating-rate securities adjusts periodically based on indices such as LIBOR and the federal funds rate. Because the interest rates of these instruments adjust as market conditions change, they provide flexibility in an uncertain interest rate environment. Our decision to maintain a significant allocation in this sector helped performance during the period.

Q: What has been the strategy for the Treasury Series?

A: During the Treasury Series' most recent fiscal year there was tremendous supply of one- and two-month US Treasury bills available within the financial marketplace. In light of the supply/demand situation for Treasuries during the 12-month period, we focused the series' purchases on short-term US Treasury bills in order to capture the most attractive yields.

Q: What detracted from performance during the period?

A: In the rising rate environment that we experienced from April through June 2006, it was prudent to purchase maturities up to the next Fed meeting when rates might once again be raised. Leading up to the August Fed meeting, there was a great deal of uncertainty over when the Fed might pause in its tightening cycle. We preferred to be cautious, which in the end cost our money market funds some yield as the yield curve flattened in mid-2006.2

2 Yield curve — The yield curve is a graph with a left-to-right line that shows how high or low yields are, from the shortest to the longest maturities. Typically the line rises from left to right as investors who are willing to tie up their money for a longer period of time are rewarded with higher yields.

Q: Will you describe your investment philosophy?

A: We continue our insistence on the highest credit quality within the fund. We also plan to maintain our conservative investment strategies and standards. We continue to apply a careful approach to investing on behalf of the fund and to seek a competitive yield for our shareholders.

Information About Each Fund's Expenses

As an investor, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads) and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in each Series and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The example in the table is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2006 to March 31, 2007).

The tables illustrate each Fund's expenses in two ways:

Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.

Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare your Fund's ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

A. Significant Accounting Pollicies

Cash Reserve Fund, Inc. (the `Fund') is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the `1940 Act'), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is organized as a corporation under the laws of the state of Maryland. The Prime Series and the Treasury Series (the `Series') are the two series the Fund offers to investors.

The Prime Series offers two classes of shares to investors: Cash Reserve Prime Shares (`Prime Shares') and Cash Reserve Prime Institutional Shares (`Prime Institutional Shares'). On September 20, 2006, Cash Reserve Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares were liquidated.

The Treasury Series offers two classes of shares to investors: Cash Reserve Treasury Shares (`Treasury Shares') and Cash Reserve Treasury Institutional Shares (`Treasury Institutional Shares').

Distribution or service fees and transfer agent fees specifically attributable to a class are allocated to that class. All other expenses, income, gains and losses are allocated among the classes based upon their relative net assets. All shares have equal rights with respect to voting except that shareholders vote separately on matters affecting their rights as holders of a particular series or class.

Each 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 rate to maturity of any discount or premium.

Repurchase Agreements. The Prime Series and Treasury Series may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Series, 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 Series has the right to sell the securities and recover any resulting loss from the financial institution. If the financial institution enters into bankruptcy, the Series' claims on the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Federal Income Taxes. It is the Fund's policy to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income taxes have been accrued.

At March 31, 2007, the Treasury Series had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $13,000 which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until March 31, 2014, ($11,000) and March 31, 2015 ($2,000), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.

In addition, from November 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007, the Prime Series incurred approximately $12,200 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 ended March 31, 2008.

In July 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (`FIN 48'), `Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109' (the `Interpretation'). The Interpretation establishes for the Fund a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether the Fund is taxable in certain jurisdictions), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. On December 22, 2006, the SEC indicated that they would not object if a Fund implements FIN 48 in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has begun to evaluate the application of the Interpretation to the Fund and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Fund's financial statements.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Net investment income of the Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly.

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

At March 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

Prime Series

Treasury Series

Undistributed ordinary income*

$ —

$ —

Capital loss carryforward

In addition, the tax character of the distributions were characterized as follows:

$ 121,895,961

Treasury Series

Distributions from ordinary income*

$ 15,130,231

$ 10,498,563

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

Expenses. Expenses of the Fund arising in connection with a specific Series are allocated to that Series. Other Fund expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Series are apportioned among the Series in the Fund.

Contingencies. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Other. Securities transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses are determined by comparing the proceeds of a sale or the cost of a purchase with a specific offsetting transaction.

Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is accrued daily. Estimated expenses are also accrued daily.

B. Related Parties

Management Agreement. Under the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement with Investment Company Capital Corp. (`ICCC' or the `Advisor'), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor directs the investments of each Series. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Fund. Effective April 1, 2007, ICCC merged with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. (`DIMA'), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG and the Board of the Fund approved a new investment management agreement between the Fund and DIMA. The new investment management agreement is identical in substance to the current investment management agreement for the Fund, except for the named investment advisor.

Prior to June 1, 2006, for the Treasury Series and prior to July 1, 2006, for the Prime Series, in addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provided certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. For the period from April 1, 2006 through May 31, 2006, for the Treasury Series and for the period from April 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006 for the Prime Series, each Series paid the Advisor an annual fee based on the aggregate average daily net assets of the Fund which was calculated daily and paid monthly. The management fee payable under the Management Agreement was equal to an annual rate as follows:

First $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets

.30%

Next $500 million of such net assets

.26%

Next $500 million of such net assets

.25%

Next $1 billion of such net assets

.24%

Next $1 billion of such net assets

.23%

Over $3.5 billion of such net assets

.22%

Effective June 1, 2006, for the Treasury Series and effective July 1, 2006, for the Prime Series, under the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement with the Advisor, each Series pays a monthly investment management fee based on the aggregate average daily net assets of the Fund accrued daily and payable monthly, at the following annual rates:

First $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets

.215%

Next $500 million of such net assets

.175%

Next $500 million of such net assets

.165%

Next $1 billion of such net assets

.155%

Next $1 billion of such net assets

.145%

Over $3.5 billion of such net assets

.135%

In addition, the Advisor is entitled to receive an additional fee with respect to the Prime Series, calculated daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.02% of the Prime Series' average daily net assets.

Accordingly, for the year ended March 31, 2007, the fee pursuant to these agreements was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.20% and 0.18% of the average daily net assets of the Prime Series and Treasury Series, respectively.

For the period from July 1, 2006 through September 30, 2006, the Advisor and Administrator had contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay certain operating expenses (excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage, interest and organizational and offering expenses) to the extent necessary to maintain the annual expenses of each class of Prime Series as follows:

Administration Fee. Effective June 1, 2006, for the Treasury Series and effective July 1, 2006, for the Prime Series, the Fund entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with DIMA, pursuant to which DIMA provides most administrative services to the Fund. For all services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement, each Series pays the Advisor an annual fee (`Administration Fee') of 0.10% of each Series' average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. For the period from June 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007, for the Treasury Series and for the period from July 1, 2006, through March 31, 2007, for the Prime Series, DIMA received an Administration Fee of $293,220 and $2,001,495, respectively, of which $31,844 and $256,147, respectively, are unpaid at year end.

Service Provider Fees. Prior to June 1, 2006, for the Treasury Series and prior to July 1, 2006 for the Prime Series, ICCC was the Fund's accounting agent. ICCC designated DWS Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation (`DWS-SFAC'), an affiliate of the Advisor, to provide fund accounting services. DWS-SFAC has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company to provide certain administrative, fund accounting and record-keeping services to the Fund. Effective June 1, 2006 for the Treasury Series and July 1, 2006 for the Prime Series, these fees are now paid under the Administrative Services Agreement. For the period from April 1, 2006 through May 31, 2006 for the Treasury Series and for the period from April 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006 for the Prime Series, the amounts charged to each Series by DWS-SFAC were as follows:

DWS Scudder Investments Service Company (`DWS-SISC'), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the Fund's transfer agent. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between DWS-SISC and DST Systems, Inc. (`DST'), DWS-SISC has delegated certain transfer agent and dividend paying agent functions to DST. DWS-SISC compensates DST out of the shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Fund. Each Series paid the transfer agent a per account fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly. For the year ended March 31, 2007, the amounts charged to the Fund by DWS-SISC were as follows:

The Fund does not pay fees on the Prime Institutional Shares and Treasury Institutional Shares. Prior to September 20, 2006, the Prime Series paid the following annual rates: 0.25% of Class A shares and 0.75% of Class B shares and Class C shares' average daily net assets.

Directors' Fees and Expenses.

In addition, the Chairperson of the Board and the Chairperson of each committee of the Board receive additional compensation for their services. Payment of such fees and expenses is allocated among all such funds described above in direct proportion to their relative net assets.

C. Fee Reductions

For the year ended March 31, 2007, the Advisor reimbursed the Fund $11,921 and $1,769 for the Prime Series and Treasury Series, respectively, which represented a portion of expected fee savings for the Advisor through June 30, 2006 and May 31, 2006 for the Prime Series and Treasury Series, respectively, related to the outsourcing by the Advisor of certain administrative services to an unaffiliated service provider.

In addition, 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 March 31, 2007, the Fund's custodian fees were reduced by $2,987 and $148 for the Prime Series and Treasury Series, respectively, for custody credits earned.

D. Line of Credit

The Fund and other affiliated funds (the `Participants') share in a $750 million revolving credit facility administered by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. 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 10 percent of its net assets under the agreement.

E. Share Transactions

The Fund is authorized to issue up to 16.56 billion shares of $.001 par value capital stock (12.66 billion Prime Series, 3.55 billion Treasury Series and 350 million undesignated). Transactions in capital stock were as follows (at net asset value of $1.00 per share):

F. Regulatory Matters and Litigation

Regulatory Settlements. On December 21, 2006, Deutsche Asset Management (`DeAM') settled proceedings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (`SEC') and the New York Attorney General on behalf of Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. (`DAMI') and Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. (`DIMA'), the investment advisors to many of the DWS Scudder funds, regarding allegations of improper trading of fund shares at DeAM and at the legacy Scudder and Kemper organizations prior to their acquisition by DeAM in April 2002. These regulators alleged that although the prospectuses for certain funds in the regulators' view indicated that the funds did not permit market timing, DAMI and DIMA breached their fiduciary duty to those funds in that their efforts to limit trading activity in the funds were not effective at certain times. The regulators also alleged that DAMI and DIMA breached their fiduciary duty to certain funds by entering into certain market timing arrangements with investors. These trading arrangements originated in businesses that existed prior to the currently constituted DeAM organization, which came together as a result of various mergers of the legacy Scudder, Kemper and Deutsche fund groups, and all of the arrangements were terminated prior to the start of the regulatory investigations that began in the summer of 2003. No current DeAM employee approved these trading arrangements. Under the terms of the settlements, DAMI and DIMA neither admitted nor denied any wrongdoing.

The terms of the SEC settlement, which identified improper trading in the legacy Deutsche and Kemper mutual funds only, provide for payment of disgorgement in the amount of $17.2 million. The terms of the settlement with the New York Attorney General provide for payment of disgorgement in the amount of $102.3 million, which is inclusive of the amount payable under the SEC settlement, plus a civil penalty in the amount of $20 million. The total amount payable by DeAM, approximately $122.3 million, would be distributed to funds in accordance with a distribution plan to be developed by a distribution consultant. The funds' investment advisors do not believe these amounts will have a material adverse financial impact on them or materially affect their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the DWS funds. The above-described amounts are not material to Deutsche Bank, and have already been reserved.

Among the terms of the settled orders, DeAM is subject to certain undertakings regarding the conduct of its business in the future, including: formation of a Code of Ethics Oversight Committee to oversee all matters relating to issues arising under the advisors' Code of Ethics; establishment of an Internal Compliance Controls Committee having overall compliance oversight responsibility of the advisors; engagement of an Independent Compliance Consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of the advisors' supervisory compliance and other policies and procedures designed to prevent and detect breaches of fiduciary duty, breaches of the Code of Ethics and federal securities law violations by the advisors and their employees; and commencing in 2008, the advisors shall undergo a compliance review by an independent third party.

In addition, DeAM is subject to certain further undertakings relating to the governance of the mutual funds, including that: at least 75% of the members of the Boards of Trustees/Directors overseeing the DWS Funds continue to be independent of DeAM; the Chairmen of the DWS Funds' Boards of Trustees/Directors continue to be independent of DeAM; DeAM maintain existing management fee reductions for certain funds for a period of five years and not increase management fees for certain funds during this period; the funds retain a senior officer (or independent consultants) responsible for assisting in the review of fee arrangements and monitoring compliance by the funds and the investment advisors with securities laws, fiduciary duties, codes of ethics and other compliance policies, the expense of which shall be borne by DeAM; and periodic account statements, fund prospectuses and the mutual funds' web site contain additional disclosure and/or tools that assist investors in understanding the fees and costs associated with an investment in the funds and the impact of fees and expenses on fund returns.

DeAM has also settled proceedings with the Illinois Secretary of State regarding market timing matters. The terms of the Illinois settlement provide for investor education contributions totaling approximately $4 million and a payment in the amount of $2 million to the Securities Audit and Enforcement Fund.

On September 28, 2006, the SEC and the National Association of Securities Dealers (`NASD') announced final agreements in which Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. (`DIMA'), Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. (`DAMI') and Scudder Distributors, Inc. (`SDI') (now known as DWS Scudder Distributors, Inc.) settled administrative proceedings regarding disclosure of brokerage allocation practices in connection with sales of the Scudder Funds' (now known as the DWS Scudder Funds) shares during 2001-2003. The agreements with the SEC and NASD are reflected in orders which state, among other things, that DIMA and DAMI failed to disclose potential conflicts of interest to the fund Boards and to shareholders relating to SDI's use of certain funds' brokerage commissions to reduce revenue sharing costs to broker-dealer firms with whom it had arrangements to market and distribute Scudder Fund shares. These directed brokerage practices were discontinued in October 2003.

Under the terms of the settlements, in which DIMA, DAMI and SDI neither admitted nor denied any of the regulators' findings, DIMA, DAMI and SDI agreed to pay disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil penalties in the total amount of $19.3 million. The portion of the settlements distributed to the funds was approximately $17.8 million and was paid to the funds as prescribed by the settlement orders based upon the amount of brokerage commissions from each fund used to satisfy revenue sharing agreements with broker-dealers who sold fund shares. Based on the prescribed settlement order, the Fund was not entitled to a portion of the settlement.

As part of the settlements, DIMA, DAMI and SDI also agreed to implement certain measures and undertakings relating to revenue sharing payments including making additional disclosures in the fund Prospectuses or Statements of Additional Information, adopting or modifying relevant policies and procedures and providing regular reporting to the fund Boards.

Private Litigation Matters. The matters alleged in the regulatory settlements described above also serve as the general basis of a number of private class action lawsuits involving the DWS funds. These lawsuits name as defendants various persons, including certain DWS funds, the funds' investment advisors and their affiliates, and certain individuals, including in some cases fund Trustees/Directors, officers, and other parties. Each DWS fund's investment advisor has agreed to indemnify the applicable DWS funds in connection with these lawsuits, or other lawsuits or regulatory actions that may be filed making similar allegations.

Based on currently available information, the funds' investment advisors believe the likelihood that the pending lawsuits will have a material adverse financial impact on a DWS fund is remote and such actions are not likely to materially affect their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the DWS funds.

G. Subsequent Events

The Board of Directors of Prime Series, a series of Cash Reserve Fund, Inc. ("Cash Reserve Fund"), approved a reorganization (the "Reorganization") pursuant to which Prime Series became a feeder fund of Cash Management Portfolio (the "Master Portfolio"). As a feeder fund in a master/feeder fund structure, Prime Series no longer invests directly in securities and other instruments but invests all or substantially all of its assets in the Master Portfolio, which invests directly in securities and other instruments. Pursuant to the Reorganization, Prime Series contributed its net assets to the Master Portfolio in return for shares of the Master Portfolio equal in number to the number of Prime Series Shares outstanding. The Reorganization occurred on May 14, 2007 and is a tax-free reorganization for Federal income tax purposes.

On May 18, 2007, all of the assets of Cash Reserve Fund, Inc. — Treasury Series were acquired by Investors Cash Trust — Treasury Portfolio pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by shareholders on April 18, 2007.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Cash Reserve Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of the Prime and Treasury Series:

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 included herein present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Prime and Treasury Series (the two series constituting the Cash Reserve Fund, Inc. hereafter referred to as the `Series') at March 31, 2007, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights of the classes presented for each of the periods indicated, 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 Series' 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). Those standards 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 March 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note G, the Cash Reserve Fund, Inc. — Prime Series became a feeder fund of Cash Management Portfolio on May 14, 2007 and the Cash Reserve Fund, Inc. — Treasury Series was acquired by the Investors Cash Trust — Treasury Portfolio on May 18, 2007.

Investment Management Agreement Approval

In December 2006, the Board approved an amended and restated investment management agreement between DIMA and Cash Reserve Fund, Inc., on behalf of each of Prime Series and Treasury Series, in connection with the merger of ICCC into DIMA. In determining to approve this agreement, the Board considered Deutsche Bank's representations that this change was administrative in nature, and would not involve any change in operations or services provided to each fund, or to the personnel involved with providing such services. The Board also considered that the terms of the agreement with DIMA were substantially identical to the terms of the prior agreement. A discussion of factors considered by the Board in determining to approve the continuation of each fund's prior investment management agreement with ICCC in September 2006 in connection with the Board's annual review of each fund's contractual arrangements is included in the funds' report for the period ended September 30, 2006.

ITEM 2.

CODE OF ETHICS

 

 

 

As of the end of the period, March 31, 2007, Cash Reserve Fund, Inc. has 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 Keith R Fox, 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. Fox’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.

2 I. Overview This Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer Code of Ethics ("Officer Code") sets forth the policies, practices, and values expected to be exhibited in the conduct of the Principal Executive Officers and Principal Financial Officers of the investment companies ("Funds") they serve ("Covered Officers"). A list of Covered Officers and Funds is included on Appendix A. The Boards of the Funds listed on Appendix A have elected to implement the Officer Code, pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC's rules thereunder, to promote and demonstrate honest and ethical conduct in their Covered Officers. Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. or its affiliates ("DeAM") serves as the investment adviser to each Fund. All Covered Officers are also employees of DeAM or an affiliate. Thus, in addition to adhering to the Officer Code, these individuals must comply with DeAM policies and procedures, such as the DeAM Code of Ethics governing personal trading activities, as adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.(1) In addition, such individuals also must comply with other applicable Fund policies and procedures. The DeAM Compliance Officer, who shall not be a Covered Officer and who shall serve as such subject to the approval of the Fund's Board (or committee thereof), is primarily responsible for implementing and enforcing this Code. The Compliance Officer has the authority to interpret this Officer Code and its applicability to particular circumstances. Any questions about the Officer Code should be directed to the DeAM Compliance Officer. The DeAM Compliance Officer and his or her contact information can be found in Appendix A. II. Purposes of the Officer Code The purposes of the Officer Code are to deter wrongdoing and to: o promote honest and ethical conduct among Covered Officers, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; o promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosures in reports and documents that the Funds file with or submit to the SEC (and in other public communications from the Funds) and that are within the Covered Officer's responsibilities; o promote compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations; o encourage the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Officer Code to the DeAM Compliance Officer; and o establish accountability for adherence to the Officer Code. Any questions about the Officer Code should be referred to DeAM's Compliance Officer. - -------- (1) The obligations imposed by the Officer Code are separate from, and in addition to, any obligations imposed under codes of ethics adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and any other code of conduct applicable to Covered Officers in whatever capacity they serve. The Officer Code does not incorporate any of those other codes and, accordingly, violations of those codes will not necessarily be considered violations of the Officer Code and waivers granted under those codes would not necessarily require a waiver to be granted under this Code. Sanctions imposed under those codes may be considered in determining appropriate sanctions for any violation of this Code. 3 III. Responsibilities of Covered Officers A. Honest and Ethical Conduct It is the duty of every Covered Officer to encourage and demonstrate honest and ethical conduct, as well as adhere to and require adherence to the Officer Code and any other applicable policies and procedures designed to promote this behavior. Covered Officers must at all times conduct themselves with integrity and distinction, putting first the interests of the Fund(s) they serve. Covered Officers must be honest and candid while maintaining confidentiality of information where required by law, DeAM policy or Fund policy. Covered Officers also must, at all times, act in good faith, responsibly and with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting or being misleading about material facts or allowing their independent judgment to be subordinated. Covered Officers also should maintain skills appropriate and necessary for the performance of their duties for the Fund(s). Covered Officers also must responsibly use and control all Fund assets and resources entrusted to them. Covered Officers may not retaliate against others for, or otherwise discourage the reporting of, actual or apparent violations of the Officer Code or applicable laws or regulations. Covered Officers should create an environment that encourages the exchange of information, including concerns of the type that this Code is designed to address. B. Conflicts of Interest A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's personal interests interfere with the interests of the Fund for which he or she serves as an officer. Covered Officers may not improperly use their position with a Fund for personal or private gain to themselves, their family, or any other person. Similarly, Covered Officers may not use their personal influence or personal relationships to influence decisions or other Fund business or operational matters where they would benefit personally at the Fund's expense or to the Fund's detriment. Covered Officers may not cause the Fund to take action, or refrain from taking action, for their personal benefit at the Fund's expense or to the Fund's detriment. Some examples of conflicts of interest follow (this is not an all-inclusive list): being in the position of supervising, reviewing or having any influence on the job evaluation, pay or benefit of any immediate family member who is an employee of a Fund service provider or is otherwise associated with the Fund; or having an ownership interest in, or having any consulting or employment relationship with, any Fund service provider other than DeAM or its affiliates. Certain conflicts of interest covered by this Code arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Fund that already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Fund. Covered Officers must comply with applicable laws and regulations. Therefore, any violations of existing statutory and regulatory prohibitions on individual behavior could be considered a violation of this Code. As to conflicts arising from, or as a result of the advisory relationship (or any other relationships) between the Fund and DeAM, of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees, it is recognized by the Board that, subject to DeAM's fiduciary duties to the Fund, the Covered Officers will in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund or for DeAM, or for both) be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on 4 DeAM and the Fund. The Board recognizes that the participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contract relationship between the Fund and DeAM, and is consistent with the expectation of the Board of the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund. Covered Officers should avoid actual conflicts of interest, and appearances of conflicts of interest, between the Covered Officer's duties to the Fund and his or her personal interests beyond those contemplated or anticipated by applicable regulatory schemes. If a Covered Officer suspects or knows of a conflict or an appearance of one, the Covered Officer must immediately report the matter to the DeAM Compliance Officer. If a Covered Officer, in lieu of reporting such a matter to the DeAM Compliance Officer, may report the matter directly to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof), as appropriate (e.g., if the conflict involves the DeAM Compliance Officer or the Covered Officer reasonably believes it would be futile to report the matter to the DeAM Compliance Officer). When actual, apparent or suspected conflicts of interest arise in connection with a Covered Officer, DeAM personnel aware of the matter should promptly contact the DeAM Compliance Officer. There will be no reprisal or retaliation against the person reporting the matter. Upon receipt of a report of a possible conflict, the DeAM Compliance Officer will take steps to determine whether a conflict exists. In so doing, the DeAM Compliance Officer may take any actions he or she determines to be appropriate in his or her sole discretion and may use all reasonable resources, including retaining or engaging legal counsel, accounting firms or other consultants, subject to applicable law.(2) The costs associated with such actions may be borne by the Fund, if appropriate, after consultation with the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). Otherwise, such costs will be borne by DeAM or other appropriate Fund service provider. After full review of a report of a possible conflict of interest, the DeAM Compliance Officer may determine that no conflict or reasonable appearance of a conflict exists. If, however, the DeAM Compliance Officer determines that an actual conflict exists, the Compliance Officer will resolve the conflict solely in the interests of the Fund, and will report the conflict and its resolution to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). If the DeAM Compliance Officer determines that the appearance of a conflict exists, the DeAM Compliance Officer will take appropriate steps to remedy such appearance. In lieu of determining whether a conflict exists and/or resolving a conflict, the DeAM Compliance Officer instead may refer the matter to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof), as appropriate. However, the DeAM Compliance Officer must refer the matter to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof) if the DeAM Compliance Officer is directly involved in the conflict or under similar appropriate circumstances. After responding to a report of a possible conflict of interest, the DeAM Compliance Officer will discuss the matter with the person reporting it (and with the Covered Officer at issue, if different) for purposes of educating those involved on conflicts of interests (including how to detect and avoid them, if appropriate). Appropriate resolution of conflicts may restrict the personal activities of the Covered Officer and/or his family, friends or other persons. Solely because a conflict is disclosed to the DeAM Compliance Officer (and/or the Board or Committee thereof) and/or resolved by the DeAM Compliance Officer does not mean that the conflict or its resolution constitutes a waiver from the Code's requirements. - -------- (2) For example, retaining a Fund's independent accounting firm may require pre-approval by the Fund's audit committee. 5 Any questions about conflicts of interests, including whether a particular situation might be a conflict or an appearance of one, should be directed to the DeAM Compliance Officer. C. Use of Personal Fund Shareholder Information A Covered Officer may not use or disclose personal information about Fund shareholders, except in the performance of his or her duties for the Fund. Each Covered Officer also must abide by the Funds' and DeAM's privacy policies under SEC Regulation S-P. D. Public Communications In connection with his or her responsibilities for or involvement with a Fund's public communications and disclosure documents (e.g., shareholder reports, registration statements, press releases), each Covered Officer must provide information to Fund service providers (within the DeAM organization or otherwise) and to the Fund's Board (and any committees thereof), independent auditors, government regulators and self-regulatory organizations that is fair, accurate, complete, objective, relevant, timely and understandable. Further, within the scope of their duties, Covered Officers having direct or supervisory authority over Fund disclosure documents or other public Fund communications will, to the extent appropriate within their area of responsibility, endeavor to ensure full, fair, timely, accurate and understandable disclosure in Fund disclosure documents. Such Covered Officers will oversee, or appoint others to oversee, processes for the timely and accurate creation and review of all public reports and regulatory filings. Within the scope of his or her responsibilities as a Covered Officer, each Covered Officer also will familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements applicable to the Fund, as well as the business and financial operations of the Fund. Each Covered Officer also will adhere to, and will promote adherence to, applicable disclosure controls, processes and procedures, including DeAM's Disclosure Controls and Procedures, which govern the process by which Fund disclosure documents are created and reviewed. To the extent that Covered Officers participate in the creation of a Fund's books or records, they must do so in a way that promotes the accuracy, fairness and timeliness of those records. E. Compliance with Applicable Laws, Rules and Regulations In connection with his or her duties and within the scope of his or her responsibilities as a Covered Officer, each Covered Officer must comply with governmental laws, rules and regulations, accounting standards, and Fund policies/procedures that apply to his or her role, responsibilities and duties with respect to the Funds ("Applicable Laws"). These requirements do not impose on Covered Officers any additional substantive duties. Additionally, Covered Officers should promote compliance with Applicable Laws. If a Covered Officer knows of any material violations of Applicable Laws or suspects that such a violation may have occurred, the Covered Officer is expected to promptly report the matter to the DeAM Compliance Officer. 6 IV. Violation Reporting A. Overview Each Covered Officer must promptly report to the DeAM Compliance Officer, and promote the reporting of, any known or suspected violations of the Officer Code. Failure to report a violation may be a violation of the Officer Code. Examples of violations of the Officer Code include, but are not limited to, the following: o Unethical or dishonest behavior o Obvious lack of adherence to policies surrounding review and approval of public communications and regulatory filings o Failure to report violations of the Officer Code o Known or obvious deviations from Applicable Laws o Failure to acknowledge and certify adherence to the Officer Code The DeAM Compliance Officer has the authority to take any and all action he or she considers appropriate in his or her sole discretion to investigate known or suspected Code violations, including consulting with the Fund's Board, the independent Board members, a Board committee, the Fund's legal counsel and/or counsel to the independent Board members. The Compliance Officer also has the authority to use all reasonable resources to investigate violations, including retaining or engaging legal counsel, accounting firms or other consultants, subject to applicable law.(3) The costs associated with such actions may be borne by the Fund, if appropriate, after consultation with the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). Otherwise, such costs will be borne by DeAM. B. How to Report Any known or suspected violations of the Officer Code must be promptly reported to the DeAM Compliance Officer. C. Process for Violation Reporting to the Fund Board The DeAM Compliance Officer will promptly report any violations of the Code to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). D. Sanctions for Code Violations Violations of the Code will be taken seriously. In response to reported or otherwise known violations, DeAM and the relevant Fund's Board may impose sanctions within the scope of their respective authority over the Covered Officer at issue. Sanctions imposed by DeAM could include termination of employment. Sanctions imposed by a Fund's Board could include termination of association with the Fund. V. Waivers from the Officer Code A Covered Officer may request a waiver from the Officer Code by transmitting a written request for a waiver to the DeAM Compliance Officer.(4) The request must include the rationale for the request and must explain how the waiver would be in furtherance of the standards of conduct described in and underlying purposes of the Officer Code. The DeAM Compliance Officer will present this information - -------- (3) For example, retaining a Fund's independent accounting firm may require pre-approval by the Fund's audit committee. (4) Of course, it is not a waiver of the Officer Code if the Fund's Board (or committee thereof) determines that a matter is not a deviation from the Officer Code's requirements or is otherwise not covered by the Code. 7 to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof). The Board (or committee) will determine whether to grant the requested waiver. If the Board (or committee) grants the requested waiver, the DeAM Compliance Officer thereafter will monitor the activities subject to the waiver, as appropriate, and will promptly report to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof) regarding such activities, as appropriate. The DeAM Compliance Officer will coordinate and facilitate any required public disclosures of any waivers granted or any implicit waivers. VI. Amendments to the Code The DeAM Compliance Officer will review the Officer Code from time to time for its continued appropriateness and will propose any amendments to the Fund's Board (or committee thereof) on a timely basis. In addition, the Board (or committee thereof) will review the Officer Code at least annually for its continued appropriateness and may amend the Code as necessary or appropriate. The DeAM Compliance Officer will coordinate and facilitate any required public disclosures of Code amendments. VII. Acknowledgement and Certification of Adherence to the Officer Code Each Covered Officer must sign a statement upon appointment as a Covered Officer and annually thereafter acknowledging that he or she has received and read the Officer Code, as amended or updated, and confirming that he or she has complied with it (see Appendix B: Acknowledgement and Certification of Obligations Under the Officer Code). Understanding and complying with the Officer Code and truthfully completing the Acknowledgement and Certification Form is each Covered Officer's obligation. The DeAM Compliance Officer will maintain such Acknowledgements in the Fund's books and records. VIII. Scope of Responsibilities A Covered Officer's responsibilities under the Officer Code are limited to: (1) Fund matters over which the Officer has direct responsibility or control, matters in which the Officer routinely participates, and matters with which the Officer is otherwise involved (i.e., matters within the scope of the Covered Officer's responsibilities as a Fund officer); and (2) Fund matters of which the Officer has actual knowledge. IX. Recordkeeping The DeAM Compliance Officer will create and maintain appropriate records regarding the implementation and operation of the Officer Code, including records relating to conflicts of interest determinations and investigations of possible Code violations. 8 X. Confidentiality All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Officer Code shall be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Officer Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the DeAM Compliance Officer, the Fund's Board (or committee thereof), legal counsel, independent auditors, and any consultants engaged by the Compliance Officer. 9 Appendices Appendix A: List of Officers Covered under the Code, by Board:
