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), redemption fees 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 Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, each Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended September 30, 2005.

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.

We understand that, due to a mailing oversight, certain shareholders may not have received the Funds' semiannual report for the period ended September 30, 2004. If you did not receive your copy of that report and would like to have one for your records, please contact us at 800-537-3177. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Investors Municipal Cash Fund (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end, management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust offers five series of shares — Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund, Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund, Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund, Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund and Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund (the "Funds").

The Funds' 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 Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

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

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

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

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

The tax character of current year distributions, if any, will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

Expenses. Expenses of the Trust arising in connection with a specific Fund are allocated to that Fund. Other Trust expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust based on net assets.

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

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

2. Related Parties

Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM" or the "Advisor"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, the Advisor directs the investments of the Funds in accordance with their investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Funds. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. The Funds pay a monthly investment management fee of 1/12 of the annual rate of 0.22% of the first $500,000,000 of the combined average daily net assets, 0.20% of the next $500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.175% of the next $1,000,000,000 of such net assets, 0.16% of the next $1,000,000,000 of such net assets and 0.15% of such net assets in excess of $3,000,000,000, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. Accordingly, for the six months ended September 30, 2005, the fees pursuant to the Management Agreement were equivalent to an annualized effective rate of each Fund's average daily net assets as follows:

Under this arrangement, the Advisor waived its entire management fee and reimbursed the Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund and the Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund $34,445 and $18,555, respectively, for certain expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2005.

Service Provider Fees. Scudder Investments Service Company ("SISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer, dividend-paying and shareholder service agent of the Trust. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between SISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), SISC has delegated certain transfer agent and dividend paying agent functions to DST. SISC compensates DST out of the shareholder servicing fee it receives from the Funds.

For the six months ended September 30, 2005, SISC received shareholder servicing fees as follows:

4. Line of Credit

The Funds and several other affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $1.1 billion revolving credit facility administered by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated, pro rata based on net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent. The Funds may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of their net assets under the agreement.

5. Regulatory Matters and Litigation

Since at least July 2003, federal, state and industry regulators have been conducting ongoing inquiries and investigations ("inquiries") into the mutual fund industry, and have requested information from numerous mutual fund companies, including Scudder Investments. The funds' advisors have been cooperating in connection with these inquiries and are in discussions with these regulators concerning proposed settlements. Publicity about mutual fund practices arising from these industry-wide inquiries serves as the general basis of a number of private lawsuits against the Scudder funds. These lawsuits, which previously have been reported in the press, involve purported class action and derivative lawsuits, making various allegations and naming as defendants various persons, including certain Scudder funds, the funds' investment advisors and their affiliates, and certain individuals, including in some cases fund Trustees/Directors, officers, and other parties. Each Scudder fund's investment advisor has agreed to indemnify the applicable Scudder funds in connection with these lawsuits, or other lawsuits or regulatory actions that may be filed making allegations similar to these lawsuits regarding market timing, revenue sharing, fund valuation or other subjects arising from or related to the pending inquiries. It is not possible to determine with certainty what the outcome of these inquiries will be or what the effect, if any, would be on the funds or their advisors. Based on currently available information, however, the funds' investment advisors believe the likelihood that the pending lawsuits and any regulatory settlements will have a material adverse financial impact on a Scudder fund is remote and such actions are not likely to materially affect their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the Scudder funds.

Investment Management Agreement Approval

 

TAX-EXEMPT NEW YORK MONEY MARKET FUND

Board Considerations in Connection with the Annual Review of the Investment Management Agreement

The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of your Fund's investment management agreement (the "Agreement") with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM" or the "Advisor") in September 2005. As part of its review process, the Board requested and evaluated all information it deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreement. Over the course of several months, the Contract Review Committee, in coordination with the Fixed-Income Oversight Committee and the Operations Committee of the Board, reviewed comprehensive materials received from the Advisor, independent third parties and independent counsel. The Board also received extensive information throughout the year regarding performance and operating results of the Fund. After their review of the information received, the Committees presented their findings and recommendations to the Independent Trustees as a group. The Independent Trustees then reviewed the Committees' findings and recommendations and presented their recommendations to the full Board.

In connection with the contract review process, the various Committees and the Board considered the factors discussed below, among others. The Board also considered that the Advisor and its predecessors have managed the Fund since its inception, and the Board believes that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious advisor is in the best interests of the Fund. The Board considered, generally, that shareholders invested in the Fund, or approved the investment management agreement for the Fund, knowing that the Advisor managed the Fund and knowing the investment management fee schedule. In connection with recent and ongoing efforts by Deutsche Bank to restructure its US mutual fund business, which resulted in turnover of senior management and other personnel of the Advisor, the Board considered Deutsche Bank's commitment that it will devote to the Advisor and its affiliates all attention and resources that are necessary to provide the Fund with top-quality investment management and shareholder, administrative and product distribution services.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided under the Agreement, including portfolio management services and administrative services. The Board considered the experience and skills of senior management and investment personnel, the resources made available to such personnel, the ability of the Advisor to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth and stability of the Advisor. The Board reviewed the Fund's gross and net performance over short-term and long-term periods and compared those returns to various agreed-upon peer group performance measures, focusing, for this purpose, primarily on gross performance. The Board considered whether investment results were consistent with the Fund's investment objective and policies. The Board also noted that it has put a process into place of identifying "Focus Funds" (e.g., funds performing poorly relative to their peer group), and receives more frequent reporting and information from the Advisor regarding such funds, along with the Advisor's remedial plans to address underperformance. The Board believes this process is an effective manner of addressing poorly performing funds at this time.

On the basis of this evaluation and the ongoing review of investment results by the Fixed-Income Oversight Committee, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Advisor historically have been and continue to be satisfactory, and that the Fund's gross performance over time was satisfactory.

Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the Fund's management fee rate, operating expenses and total expense ratio, and compared management fees to a peer group and total expenses to a broader peer universe based on information and data supplied by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper"). For purposes of this comparison, the Board relied on historical data compiled by Lipper for the peer funds and the Advisor's estimate of current expenses for the Fund. The information provided to the Board showed that the Fund's management fee rate was below the median of the peer group and that the Fund's total expense ratio was in the fourth quartile of the peer universe. The Board examined the total expense ratio less 12b-1 plan expenses and noted that the expense ratio less 12b-1 plan expenses was below the fourth quartile. The Board also considered the Fund's management fee rate as compared to fees charged by the Advisor and certain of its affiliates for comparable mutual funds. With respect to other comparable Scudder Funds, the Board considered differences in fund and fee structures among the various legacy organizations.

On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that management fees were reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Advisor. The Board noted that although the Fund's total expense ratio was above the median of the peer universe, such ratio was within an acceptable range of the peer universe and consistent with reasonable expectations in light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Advisor.

Profitability. The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues received by the Advisor under the Agreement. The Board considered the estimated costs and pre-tax profits realized by the Advisor from advising the Scudder Funds, as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of the Scudder organization with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund. The Board reviewed DeIM's methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. Although the Board noted the inherently subjective nature of any allocation methodology, the Board received an attestation report from an accounting firm affirming that the allocation methods were consistently applied and were based upon practices commonly used in the investment management industry. The Board noted that, based on the information provided, the Advisor operated the Fund at a loss.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund and whether the Fund benefits from any economies of scale. The Board considered whether the management fee schedule under the Agreement is reasonable in relation to the asset size of the Fund. The Board noted that the management fee schedule included four breakpoints, designed to share economies of scale with the shareholders. The Board concluded that the management fee schedule reflects an appropriate level of sharing of any economies of scale.

Other Benefits to DeIM and Its Affiliates. The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by DeIM and its affiliates, including fees received by the Advisor for administrative services provided to the Fund and fees received by an affiliate of the Advisor for distribution services. The Board concluded that management fees were reasonable in light of these fallout benefits.

Regulatory Matters. The Board also considered information regarding ongoing inquiries of the Advisor regarding market timing, late trading and other matters by federal and state regulators and private lawsuits on related topics. Among other matters, the Board considered the Advisor's commitment to indemnify the Scudder Funds against regulatory actions or lawsuits arising from such inquiries. The Board also considered management's representation that such actions will not materially impact the Advisor's ability to perform under the Agreement or materially impact the Fund.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board (including a majority of the Independent Trustees) determined that the terms of the Agreement continue to be fair and reasonable and that the continuation of the Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.

On the basis of this evaluation and the ongoing review of investment results by the Fixed-Income Oversight Committee, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Advisor historically have been and continue to be satisfactory. The Board noted the relative underperformance of the Fund on a gross basis, and took into account the factors contributing to such performance (including, in particular, the small size of the Fund) and steps being taken by the Advisor to improve performance.

Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the Fund's management fee rate, operating expenses and total expense ratio, and compared management fees to a peer group and total expenses to a broader peer universe based on information and data supplied by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper"). For purposes of this comparison, the Board relied on historical data compiled by Lipper for the peer funds and the Advisor's estimate of current expenses for the Fund (including the effect of the Fund's then-current expense cap). The information provided to the Board showed that the Fund's management fees were below the median of the peer group and that the Fund's total expense ratio was in the fourth quartile of the peer universe. The Board examined the total expense ratio less 12b-1 plan expenses and noted that the expense ratio less 12b-1 plan expenses remained in the fourth quartile. The Board also considered the Fund's management fee rates as compared to fees charged by the Advisor and certain of its affiliates for comparable mutual funds. With respect to other comparable Scudder Funds, the Board considered differences in fund and fee structures among the various legacy organizations. The Board took into account the Advisor's commitment to cap total expenses through July 31, 2006.

In light of the fourth quartile ranking of expenses, the Board recommended that total expenses (less 12b-1 plan expenses) be capped at a level within the third quartile. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that management fees, coupled with the Advisor's agreement to cap expenses as recommended, were reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Advisor. The Board noted that, although the Portfolio's total expense ratio was above the median of the peer universe, such ratio (after the recommended expense cap) was within an acceptable range of the peer universe and consistent with reasonable expectations in light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Advisor.

Profitability. The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues received by the Advisor under the Agreement. The Board considered the estimated costs and pre-tax profits realized by the Advisor from advising the Scudder Funds, as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of the Scudder organization with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund.

Board Considerations in Connection with the Annual Review of the Investment Management Agreement

The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of your Fund's investment management agreement (the "Agreement") with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM" or the "Advisor") in September 2005. As part of its review process, the Board requested and evaluated all information it deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreement. Over the course of several months, the Contract Review Committee, in coordination with the Fixed-Income Oversight Committee and the Operations Committee of the Board, reviewed comprehensive materials received from the Advisor, independent third parties and independent counsel. The Board also received extensive information throughout the year regarding performance and operating results of the Fund. After their review of the information received, the Committees presented their findings and recommendations to the Independent Trustees as a group. The Independent Trustees then reviewed the Committees' findings and recommendations and presented their recommendations to the full Board.

In connection with the contract review process, the various Committees and the Board considered the factors discussed below, among others. The Board also considered that the Advisor and its predecessors have managed the Fund since its inception, and the Board believes that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious advisor is in the best interests of the Fund. The Board considered, generally, that shareholders invested in the Fund, or approved the investment management agreement for the Fund, knowing that the Advisor managed the Fund and knowing the investment management fee schedule. In connection with recent and ongoing efforts by Deutsche Bank to restructure its US mutual fund business, which resulted in turnover of senior management and other personnel of the Advisor, the Board considered Deutsche Bank's commitment that it will devote to the Advisor and its affiliates all attention and resources that are necessary to provide the Fund with top-quality investment management and shareholder, administrative and product distribution services.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided under the Agreement, including portfolio management services and administrative services. The Board considered the experience and skills of senior management and investment personnel, the resources made available to such personnel, the ability of the Advisor to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth and stability of the Advisor. The Board reviewed the Fund's gross and net performance over short-term and long-term periods and compared those returns to various agreed-upon peer group performance measures, focusing, for this purpose, primarily on gross performance. The Board considered whether investment results were consistent with the Fund's investment objective and policies. The Board also noted that it has put a process into place of identifying "Focus Funds" (e.g., funds performing poorly relative to their peer group), and receives more frequent reporting and information from the Advisor regarding such funds, along with the Advisor's remedial plans to address underperformance. The Board believes this process is an effective manner of addressing poorly performing funds at this time.

On the basis of this evaluation and the ongoing review of investment results by the Fixed-Income Oversight Committee, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Advisor historically have been and continue to be satisfactory, and that the Fund's gross performance over time was satisfactory.

Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the Fund's management fee rate, operating expenses and total expense ratio, and compared management fees to a peer group and total expenses to a broader peer universe based on information and data supplied by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper"). For purposes of this comparison, the Board relied on historical data compiled by Lipper for the peer funds and the Advisor's estimate of current expenses for the Fund (including the effect of the Fund's then-current expense cap). The information provided to the Board showed that the Fund's management fee rate was below the median of the peer group, and that the Fund's total expense ratio was in the fourth quartile of the peer universe. The Board examined the total expense ratio less 12b-1 plan expenses and noted that the expense ratio less 12b-1 plan expenses remained in the fourth quartile. The Board also considered the Fund's management fee rates as compared to fees charged by the Advisor and certain of its affiliates for comparable mutual funds. With respect to other comparable Scudder Funds, the Board considered differences in fund and fee structures among the various legacy organizations. The Board took into account the Advisor's commitment to cap total expenses through July 31, 2006.

In light of the fourth quartile ranking of expenses, the Board recommended that total expenses (less 12b-1 plan expenses) be capped at a level within the third quartile. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that management fees, coupled with the Advisor's agreement to cap expenses as recommended, were reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Advisor. The Board noted that, although the Portfolio's total expense ratio was above the median of the peer universe, such ratio (after the recommended expense cap) was within an acceptable range of the peer universe and consistent with reasonable expectations in light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Advisor.

Profitability. The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues received by the Advisor under the Agreement. The Board considered the estimated costs and pre-tax profits realized by the Advisor from advising the Scudder Funds, as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of the Scudder organization with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund. The Board reviewed DeIM's methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. Although the Board noted the inherently subjective nature of any allocation methodology, the Board received an attestation report from an accounting firm affirming that the allocation methods were consistently applied and were based upon practices commonly used in the investment management industry. The Board noted that, based on the information provided, the Advisor operated the Fund at a loss.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund and whether the Fund benefits from any economies of scale. The Board considered whether the management fee schedule under the Agreement is reasonable in relation to the asset size of the Fund. The Board noted that the management fee schedule included four breakpoints, designed to share economies of scale with the shareholders. The Board concluded that the management fee schedule, together with expense caps, reflects an appropriate level of sharing of any economies of scale.

Other Benefits to DeIM and Its Affiliates. The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by DeIM and its affiliates, including fees received by the Advisor for administrative services provided to the Fund and fees received by an affiliate of the Advisor for distribution services. The Board concluded that management fees were reasonable in light of these fallout benefits.

Regulatory Matters. The Board also considered information regarding ongoing inquiries of the Advisor regarding market timing, late trading and other matters by federal and state regulators and private lawsuits on related topics. Among other matters, the Board considered the Advisor's commitment to indemnify the Scudder Funds against regulatory actions or lawsuits arising from such inquiries. The Board also considered management's representation that such actions will not materially impact the Advisor's ability to perform under the Agreement or materially impact the Fund.

Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board (including a majority of the Independent Trustees) determined that the terms of the Agreement continue to be fair and reasonable and that the continuation of the Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board's analysis.
