Fund Report (unaudited)
For the six months ended July 31, 2011

 
Market Conditions
 
 
During the second half of 2010, the broader U.S. economy continued to expand. Gross domestic product (GDP) for the third quarter of 2010 expanded at a faster pace than the prior quarter, at 2.6 percent, with a 3.1 percent growth rate for the fourth quarter. However, as the calendar turned, 2011 growth was depressed by a variety of factors. Severe winter weather, unrest in the Middle East, the tragedy in Japan and subsequent supply chain disruptions, the onset of the second stage of the European debt crisis, and growing concerns about the indebtedness of the United States all were contributing factors that led to a slowdown in growth. GDP for the first quarter of 2011 was revised down from an initial report of 1.9 percent to 0.4 percent, while second quarter growth came in at an annualized rate of only 1.3 percent. In addition, job growth, which had staged a noticeable pickup, again began to stagnate. After averaging a monthly gain of 138,000 in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 165,000 in the first quarter of 2011, job gains fell to an average of 86,000 in the second quarter, punctuated by a paltry 25,000 in May and 18,000 in June. A small degree of optimism crept back into the market with the release of the July employment report showing job gains of 154,000. The unemployment rate, which had dropped from 9.5 percent in July 2010 to 8.8 percent in March 2011, rose to 9.2 percent in June and fell back to 9.1 percent in July.
 
As expected, the Federal Reserve’s second quantitative easing (QE2) program was completed at the end of June. In order to continue to maintain policy accommodation, the Fed announced their intention to continue to reinvest maturing securities and principal paydowns into Treasury securities as they look to maintain the size of their balance sheet. Going forward, the Fed has acknowledged the recent growth slowdown but view the soft patch as being temporary. In addition, the threat of deflation that was present when the Fed decided to undertake QE2 has been replaced by a pickup in underlying inflation trends. Core inflation as measured by the core consumer price index (CPI) rose from 0.6 percent in October 2010 to 1.6 percent in June 2011, approaching the upper range of the Fed’s comfort zone.
 
After the close of the reporting period, on Friday August 5, 2011, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) downgraded the U.S. long-term debt credit rating to AA+, affirming the short-term rating at A-1+. Given that S&P had provided advance warning of a possible downgrade, the markets cannot be completely surprised. Nonetheless, the extraordinary nature of the U.S. being downgraded by one notch combined with global events left the full, long-term impact of the downgrade unclear. We continue to actively monitor events and maintain a cautious approach in managing our liquidity portfolios during these fluid moments. As evidenced by our historically low weighted average maturity (WAM), we have positioned our portfolio with a view towards seeking high liquidity, in anticipation of this type of market uncertainty.
 
Performance Analysis
 
 
As of July 31, 2011, Morgan Stanley U.S. Government Money Market Trust had net assets of approximately $1.67 billion and an average portfolio

2


 

maturity of 21 days. For the six-month period ended July 31, 2011, the Fund provided a total return of 0.00 percent. For the seven-day period ended July 31, 2011, the Fund provided an effective annualized yield of 0.01 percent (subsidized) and −0.43 percent (non-subsidized) and a current yield of 0.01 percent (subsidized) and −0.44 percent (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average yield for July was 0.01 percent (subsidized) and −0.48 percent (non-subsidized). Yield quotations more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
 
We remain quite comfortable in our conservative approach to managing our money market funds. Our investment process and focus on credit research and risk management, combined with the high degree of liquidity and short maturity position of the Fund, has put us in a unique position to respond to market uncertainty. Our investment philosophy continues to revolve around prudent credit and risk management and portfolios that are positioned defensively and with very high levels of liquidity.
 
There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform as discussed herein or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Fund in the future.

Investment Strategy
 
 
The Fund invests in high quality, short-term U.S. government securities. In selecting investments, the Investment Adviser seeks to maintain the Fund’s share price at $1.00. The U.S. government securities that the Fund may purchase include U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, all of which are direct obligations of the U.S. Government. In addition, the Fund may purchase securities issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Among the agencies and instrumentalities issuing these obligations are the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) and the Federal Housing Administration. The Fund may also purchase securities issued by agencies and instrumentalities which are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, but whose issuing agency or instrumentality has the right to borrow, to meet its obligations, from the U.S. Treasury. Among these agencies and instrumentalities are the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and the Federal Home Loan Bank. Further, the Fund may purchase securities issued by agencies and instrumentalities, which are backed solely by the credit of the issuing agency or instrumentality. Among these agencies and instrumentalities is the Federal Farm Credit System. Finally, the Fund may purchase U.S. government securities guaranteed under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.
 
An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
 
For More Information About Portfolio Holdings

Morgan Stanley also delivers the semiannual and annual reports to fund shareholders and makes these reports available on its public web site, www.morganstanley.com. Each Morgan Stanley fund also files a complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the fund’s first and third fiscal quarters on Form N-Q and monthly holdings for each money market fund on Form N-MFP. Morgan Stanley does not deliver these reports to shareholders, nor are the first and third fiscal quarter reports posted to the Morgan Stanley public web site. However, the holdings for each money market fund are posted to the Morgan Stanley public web site. You may obtain the Form N-Q filings (as well as the Form N-CSR, N-CSRS and N-MFP filings) by accessing the SEC’s web site, http://www.sec.gov.

Expense Example (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including advisory fees; shareholder servicing fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 02/01/11 – 07/31/11.
 
Actual Expenses
 
 
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that 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 first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
 
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds that have transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or exchange fees.
                         
    Beginning
  Ending
  Expenses Paid
    Account Value   Account Value   During Period @
            02/01/11 –
    02/01/11   07/31/11   07/31/11
Actual (0.00% return)
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,000.00     $ 0.49  
Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,024.03     $ 0.50  
@ Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.10% multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 179/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). If the fund had borne all of its expenses, the annualized expense ratio would have been 0.59%.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (unaudited)

 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
 
 
The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Investment Adviser (as defined herein) under the advisory agreement, including portfolio management, investment research and equity and fixed income securities trading. The Board also reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services provided by the Fund’s Administrator (as defined herein) under the administration agreement, including accounting, clerical, bookkeeping, compliance, business management and planning, and the provision of supplies, office space and utilities at the Investment Adviser’s expense. (The Investment Adviser and the Administrator together are referred to as the “Adviser” and the advisory and administration agreements together are referred to as the “Management Agreement.”) The Board also compared the nature of the services provided by the Adviser with similar services provided by non-affiliated advisers as reported to the Board by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”).
 
The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers, the senior administrative managers and other key personnel of the Adviser who provide the advisory and administrative services to the Fund. The Board determined that the Adviser’s portfolio managers and key personnel are well qualified by education and/or training and experience to perform the services in an efficient and professional manner. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the advisory and administrative services provided were necessary and appropriate for the conduct of the business and investment activities of the Fund and supported its decision to approve the Management Agreement.
 
Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Fund
 
 
The Board reviewed the performance, fees and expenses of the Fund compared to its peers, as determined by Lipper, and to appropriate benchmarks where applicable. The Board discussed with the Adviser the performance goals and the actual results achieved in managing the Fund. When considering a fund’s performance, the Board and the Adviser place emphasis on trends and longer-term returns (focusing on one-year, three-year and five-year performance, as of December 31, 2010, or since inception, as applicable). When a fund underperforms its benchmark and/or its peer group average, the Board and the Adviser discuss the causes of such underperformance and, where necessary, they discuss specific changes to investment strategy or investment personnel. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was below its peer group average for the one-year period but better than its peer group average for the three- and five-year periods. The Board discussed with the Adviser the level of the advisory and administration fees (together, the “management fee”) for this Fund relative to comparable funds and/or other accounts advised by the Adviser and/or compared to its peers as determined by Lipper. In addition to the management fee, the Board also reviewed the Fund’s total expense ratio. The Board noted that the Fund’s management fee and total expense

7


 

ratio were lower than its peer group average. After discussion, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was acceptable, and the management fee and total expense ratio were competitive with its peer group average.
 
Economies of Scale
 
 
The Board considered the size and growth prospects of the Fund and how that relates to the Fund’s total expense ratio and particularly the Fund’s management fee rate, which includes breakpoints. In conjunction with its review of the Adviser’s profitability, the Board discussed with the Adviser how a change in assets can affect the efficiency or effectiveness of managing the Fund and whether the management fee level is appropriate relative to current and projected asset levels and/or whether the management fee structure reflects economies of scale as asset levels change. The Board has determined that its review of the actual and potential economies of scale of the Fund support its decision to approve the Management Agreement.
 
Profitability of the Adviser and Affiliates
 
 
The Board considered information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates during the last year from their relationship with the Fund and during the last two years from their relationship with the Morgan Stanley Fund Complex and reviewed with the Adviser the cost allocation methodology used to determine the profitability of the Adviser and affiliates. The Board has determined that its review of the analysis of the Adviser’s expenses and profitability supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.
 
Other Benefits of the Relationship
 
 
 
The Board considered other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates derived from their relationship with the Fund and other funds advised by the Adviser. These benefits may include, among other things, “float” benefits derived from handling of checks for purchases and sales, research received by the Adviser generated from commission dollars spent on funds’ portfolio trading and fees for distribution and/or shareholder servicing. The Board reviewed with the Adviser each of these arrangements and the reasonableness of the Adviser’s costs relative to the services performed. The Board has determined that its review of the other benefits received by the Adviser or its affiliates supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.
 
Resources of the Adviser and Historical Relationship Between the Fund and the Adviser
 
 
The Board considered whether the Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered the historical relationship between the Fund and the Adviser, including the organizational structure of the Adviser, the

8


 

policies and procedures formulated and adopted by the Adviser for managing the Fund’s operations and the Board’s confidence in the competence and integrity of the senior managers and key personnel of the Adviser. The Board concluded that the Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Management Agreement and that it is beneficial for the Fund to continue its relationship with the Adviser.
 
Other Factors and Current Trends
 
 
The Board considered the controls and procedures adopted and implemented by the Adviser and monitored by the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and concluded that the conduct of business by the Adviser indicates a good faith effort on its part to adhere to high ethical standards in the conduct of the Fund’s business.
 
General Conclusion
 
 
After considering and weighing all of the above factors, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve renewal of the Management Agreement for another year. In reaching this conclusion the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor referenced above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, some of which were in executive session with only the independent Board members and their counsel present. It is possible that individual Board members may have weighed these factors differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the Management Agreement.

Morgan Stanley U.S. Government Money Market Trust
Notes to Financial Statements - July 31, 2011 (unaudited)
 
1.  Organization and Accounting Policies
Morgan Stanley U.S. Government Money Market Trust (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objectives are security of principal, high current income and liquidity. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on November 18, 1981 and commenced operations on February 17, 1982.
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
 
A. Valuation of Investments — Portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.
 
B. Accounting for Investments — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined by the identified cost method. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized over the life of the respective securities and are included in interest income. Interest income is accrued daily as earned.
 
C. Repurchase Agreements — The Fund invests directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. The Fund’s custodian receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily to determine that the value of the collateral does not decrease below the repurchase price plus accrued interest as earned. If such a decrease occurs, additional collateral will be requested and, when received, will be added to the account to maintain full collateralization.
 
D. Federal Income Tax Policy — It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York State and New York City. The Fund recognizes the tax effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return only if it is more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date. The more-likely-than-not threshold must continue to be met in each reporting period to support continued recognition of the benefit. The difference between the tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for a tax position taken and the tax benefit claimed in the income tax return is referred to as an unrecognized tax benefit. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “other expenses” in the Statement of Operations. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended January 31, 2011 remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

15


 

Morgan Stanley U.S. Government Money Market Trust
Notes to Financial Statements - July 31, 2011 (unaudited) continued
 
E. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Fund records dividends and distributions to shareholders as of the close of each business day.
 
F. Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
G. Indemnifications — The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
2. Fair Valuation Measurements
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the value that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs); and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
 
  •  Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
  •  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
  •  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each security.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of July 31, 2011 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at fair value:

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. The Fund recognizes transfers between the Levels as of the end of the period. As of July 31, 2011, the Fund did not have any investments transfer between investment levels.
3. Investment Advisory/Administration Agreements
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”), the Fund pays the Adviser an advisory fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, by applying the following annual rates to the net assets of the Fund determined as of the close of each business day: 0.45% to the portion of the daily net assets not exceeding $500 million; 0.375% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $500 million but not exceeding $750 million; 0.325% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $750 million but not exceeding $1 billion; 0.30% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $1 billion but not exceeding $1.5 billion; 0.275% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $1.5 billion but not exceeding $2 billion; 0.25% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $2 billion but not exceeding $2.5 billion; 0.225% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $2.5 billion but not exceeding $3 billion; and 0.20% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $3 billion.
 
Pursuant to an Administration Agreement with Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc. (the “Administrator”), an affiliate of the Adviser, the Fund pays an administration fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, by applying the annual rate of 0.05% to the Fund’s daily net assets.

17


 

Morgan Stanley U.S. Government Money Market Trust
Notes to Financial Statements - July 31, 2011 (unaudited) continued
 
Under a Sub-Administration Agreement between the Administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), State Street provides certain administrative services to the Fund. For such services, the Administrator pays State Street a portion of the fee the Administrator receives from the Fund.
 
The Adviser has agreed to cap the Fund’s operating expenses by assuming the Fund’s “other expenses” and/or waiving the Fund’s advisory fees, and the Administrator has agreed to waive the Fund’s administrative fees, to the extent that such operating expenses exceed 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund on an annualized basis. These fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are expected to continue for at least one year or until such time that the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such waivers and/or expense reimbursements when it deems such action is appropriate.
4. Shareholder Services Plan
Pursuant to a Shareholder Services Plan (the “Plan”), the Fund may pay Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc. (the “Distributor”) as compensation for the provision of services to shareholders a service fee up to the rate of 0.15% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
 
Reimbursements for these expenses are made in monthly payments by the Fund to the Distributor, which will in no event exceed an amount equal to a payment at the annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets during the month. Expenses incurred by the Distributor pursuant to the Plan in any fiscal year will not be reimbursed by the Fund through payments accrued in any subsequent fiscal year. For the six months ended July 31, 2011, the shareholder servicing fee was accrued at the annual rate of 0.10%.
 
The Distributor, Adviser and Administrator have agreed to waive/reimburse all or a portion of the Fund’s shareholder servicing fee, investment advisory fee and administration fee, respectively, to the extent that total expenses exceed total income of the Fund on a daily basis. For the six months ended July 31, 2011, the Distributor waived $358,856, the Adviser waived $2,082,954 and the Administrator waived $234,076. These fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are expected to continue for one year or until such time that the Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such waivers and/or reimbursements when it deems such action is appropriate.
5. Transactions with Affiliates
Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and Distributor, is the Fund’s transfer agent.
 
The Fund has an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering certain independent Trustees of the Fund who will have served as independent Trustees for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this plan are based on factors which include years of service and compensation. The Trustees voted to close the plan to new participants and eliminate the future benefits growth due to increases to compensation after July 31, 2003. Aggregate pension costs for the six months ended July 31,

Morgan Stanley U.S. Government Money Market Trust
Notes to Financial Statements - July 31, 2011 (unaudited) continued
 
2011, included in “trustees’ fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations amounted to $1,941. At July 31, 2011, the Fund had an accrued pension liability of $60,633, which is included in “accrued expenses and other payables” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
The Fund has an unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Compensation Plan”), which allows each independent Trustee to defer payment of all, or a portion, of the fees he or she receives for serving on the Board of Trustees. Each eligible Trustee generally may elect to have the deferred amounts credited with a return equal to the total return on one or more of the Morgan Stanley funds that are offered as investment options under the Compensation Plan. Appreciation/depreciation and distributions received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligation and do not affect the net asset value of the Fund.

7. Expense Offset
The Fund has entered into an arrangement with State Street (“Custodian”), whereby credits realized on uninvested cash balances were used to offset a portion of the Fund’s expenses. If applicable, these custodian credits are shown as “expense offset” in the Statement of Operations.
8. Risks Relating to Certain Financial Instruments
The Fund may invest in, or receive as collateral for repurchase agreements, securities issued by Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). Securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States and are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
 
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) serves as conservator of FNMA and FHLMC and the U.S. Department of the Treasury has agreed to provide capital as needed to ensure FNMA and FHLMC continue to provide liquidity to the housing and mortgage markets.

19


 

Morgan Stanley U.S. Government Money Market Trust
Notes to Financial Statements - July 31, 2011 (unaudited) continued
 
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements under which the Fund lends excess cash and takes possession of securities with an agreement that the counterparty will repurchase such securities. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization of the collateral proceeds may be subject to certain costs and delays.
9. Federal Income Tax Status
The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of paid-in-capital.
 
As of January 31, 2011, the Fund had temporary book/tax differences attributable to nondeductible expenses.
10. Accounting Pronouncement
In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04. The amendments in this update are the results of the work of FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, which are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Consequently, these amendments improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. At this time, the Fund’s management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04.

Morgan Stanley U.S. Government Money Market Trust
Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (unaudited)
 
On June 7, 2011, Deloitte & Touche LLP were dismissed as Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of the Fund.
 
The reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP on the financial statements of the Fund for the past two fiscal years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
 
In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years, there have been no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years.
 
On June 7, 2011, the Fund, with the approval of its Board of Trustees and its Audit Committee, engaged Ernst & Young LLP as its new Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
