CHURCHILL CASH RESERVES TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2017 (unaudited)

Note A - Churchill Cash Reserves Trust (the "Trust"), a diversified, open-end investment company, was organized on January 4, 1985, as a Massachusetts business trust and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust commenced operations on July 9, 1985. The Trust ceased operations on January 25, 2001 inasmuch as all shares outstanding, except for 1,002 shares owned by Aquila Management Corporation (which have been subsequently transferred to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aquila Investment Management LLC) had been redeemed by shareholders. Although the Trust is not conducting a public offering of its shares, it will continue to exist as a Massachusetts Business Trust and maintain its registration as an investment company.

On November 30, 2012, the Board of Trustees approved a change in the Trust’s fiscal year end from September 30th to December 31st.

Note B – Since inception, the Trust has qualified as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to certain investment companies. The Trust made distributions of income and securities gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, Federal income and excise taxes.

Note C- Aquila Investment Management LLC has agreed to pay all operating expenses of the Trust.

Proxy Voting Record (unaudited) As the Trust has ceased operations, the Trust had no portfolio securities. Therefore, there were no matters relating to a portfolio security considered at any shareholder meeting held during the 12 months ended June 30, 2017 with respect to which the Trust was entitled to vote. Applicable regulations require us to inform you that the foregoing proxy voting information is available on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov.

Analysis of Expenses (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Trust, you may incur ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Trust expenses. The tables below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Trust and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The tables below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2017 and held for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses

This table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period”.

For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

	Actual Total Return(1)		Beginning Account Value		Ending Account Value		Expenses Paid During the Period(2)
CHURCHILL CASH RESERVES TRUST		—	$	1,000.00	$	1,000.00		—

(1) The Trust did not have any operations during the period.

(2) The Trust did not incur any expenses during the period (note C).

Analysis of Expenses (unaudited) (continued)

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the Trust’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 the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Trust and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5.00% hypothetical example relating to the Trust with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds.

For The Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

	Hypothetical Annualized Total Return		Beginning Account Value		Ending Account Value		Expenses Paid During the Period(1)
CHURCHILL CASH RESERVES TRUST		5.00%	$	1,000.00	$	1,025.00		—

(1) The Trust did not incur any expenses during the period (note C).
