Portfolio Manager's Letter
FIRST INVESTORS CASH MANAGEMENT FUND, INC.
FIRST INVESTORS TAX-EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.
Dear Investor:
The principal factor that affected the Funds' performance in 1994 was the
Federal Reserve's decision in February to begin raising short-term interest
rates. The U.S. economic recovery hit full stride during 1994 with gross
domestic product growth of approximately 4%. The unemployment rate fell
from 6.4% to 5.4% as the economy created 3.5 million new jobs. Feeling
secure about job prospects, consumers were willing to borrow and spend.
U.S. vehicle sales reached their highest level since 1988. Despite strong
growth, inflation remained below 3% as low labor costs, improved
productivity and international competition kept prices from accelerating.
Nonetheless, concerned that strong economic growth would eventually lead to
inflation, the Federal Reserve in February engineered the first of six
short-term interest rate increases which in total raised rates 250 basis
points (2.50%). As is typical at this point in the economic cycle,
long-term interest rates also rose with the benchmark 30 year U.S. Treasury
bond yield increasing approximately 155 basis points (1.55%) during the
year. With higher interest rates creating concern that the economy might
slow, broad stock market indices were unable to advance and ended the year
unchanged to slightly lower despite strong earnings reported by many
companies.
Increasing short-term interest rates provided something to cheer about in
1994 for money market funds. After several years of experiencing low
yields due to low interest rates, money market funds emerged as one of the
best performing investment vehicles of the year.
In the Cash Management Fund, conservative investment philosophies, the
hallmark of your Fund, enabled it to avoid some of the turmoil that more
aggressive funds encountered. The Fund continued to focus on quality,
short-term investments that have been the backbone of the money market
industry while also employing, for a small portion of the portfolio, high
quality structured products that allow funds to benefit from higher rates.
We believe that an average weighted maturity is the measure that most
accurately reflects a money market fund's interest rate risk. As a result
of our conservative approach, your Fund had a "shorter-than-average"
average weighted maturity when interest rates started to rise. This helped
your Fund, as investments in the Fund matured more quickly and were
reinvested at higher rates sooner than in other funds. For 1994, First
Investors Cash Management Fund, Inc. returned 3.69%.
The Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund also benefitted from increased interest
rates. The increases in municipal money market rates were tempered,
however, by increasing assets in tax free money market funds as well as a
decline in the supply of available issues. Many municipalities continued
to struggle with the same situations that they have experienced over the
last few years: budget shortfalls, opposition to higher property taxes and
increased statutory responsibilities from State and Federal mandates.
The Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund has a conservative approach to investing.
Your Fund's investments are in high-grade, short-term municipal securities,
many of which have additional credit supports behind them. The Tax-Exempt
Money Market Fund returned 2.24% in 1994. The income from the Fund was
100% free from Federal income taxes and partially free from certain state
taxes.
As always, we appreciate the opportunity to serve your investment needs.
Sincerely,
/s/ Clark D. Wagner

FIRST INVESTORS CASH MANAGEMENT FUND, INC.
FIRST INVESTORS TAX-EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.
1. Significant Accounting Policies- -The Funds are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as diversified, open- end
management investment companies.
A. Security Valuation--The Funds value all of their portfolio securities
using the amortized cost method, which excludes unrealized gains or losses
from the computation of portfolio value. This is accomplished by valuing a
security at cost plus amortized discount or accrued interest. While this
method of valuation tends to produce stable valuation of securities held to
their maturity, the actual market value of the security, if sold prior to
maturity, may vary from the security's value to the Funds while in the
Funds' portfolios.
B. Federal Income Taxes--It is the policy of the Funds to continue to
comply with the special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to investment companies and to make sufficient distributions of income and
capital gains to relieve the Funds from all, or substantially all, federal
income taxes.
C. Distributions--The Funds declare distributions daily and pay
distributions monthly. Distributions are declared from the total of net
investment income and net realized gains or losses on investments.
Distributions paid by First Investors Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc.
from net investment income are considered exempt-interest dividends and as
such should not be subject to federal income taxes.
D. Other--Security transactions are accounted for on the date the
securities are purchased or sold. Cost is determined, and gains and losses
are based, on the amortized cost basis for both financial statement and
federal income tax purposes. Interest income and estimated expenses are
accrued daily.
2. Capital Stock--By action of the Funds' Boards of Directors, the Funds
amended their Articles of Incorporation on October 21, 1994. Of the
5,000,000,000 shares originally authorized, the Cash Management Fund
allocated 2,500,000,000 shares as Class A and 2,500,000,000 shares as Class
B capital stock. For the Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, of the 1,000,000,000
shares originally authorized, 500,000,000 shares were allocated as Class A
and 500,000,000 shares were allocated as Class B capital stock. As of
December 31, 1994, only Class A shares have been issued.
At December 31, 1994, paid-in capital amounted to $128,495,136 for First
Investors Cash Management Fund, Inc. and $26,423,639 for First Investors
Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc. The numbers of shares transacted during
the period are the same as the amounts included in the Statement of Changes
in Net Assets since shares are recorded at $1.00 per share.
3. Advisory Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates (Also see Note
4)--Certain officers and directors of the Funds are officers and directors
of the investment adviser, First Investors Management Company, Inc.
("FIMCO"), the underwriter, First Investors Corporation ("FIC"), the
transfer agent, Administrative Data Management Corp. ("ADM") and/or First
Financial Savings Bank, S.L.A. ("FFS"), custodian of First Investors Cash
Management Fund, Inc.'s Individual Retirement Accounts. Officers and
directors of the Funds received no remuneration from the Funds for serving
in such capacities. Their remuneration (together with certain other
expenses of the Funds) is paid by FIMCO or FIC.
The Investment Advisory Agreements provide as compensation to FIMCO an
annual fee, payable monthly, at the rate of 1/2 of 1% of each Fund's
average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 1994, the
investment adviser voluntarily reduced this fee by $374,848 for First
Investors Cash Management Fund, Inc. and by $50,532 for First Investors
Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc.
Pursuant to certain state regulations, FIMCO has agreed to reimburse each
Fund if and to the extent that the Fund's aggregate operating expenses,
including the advisory fee but generally excluding interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses, exceed any limitation on
expenses applicable to the Fund in those states (unless waivers of such
limitations have been obtained). The amount of any such reimbursement is
limited to the yearly advisory fee. For the year ended December 31, 1994,
no reimbursement was required pursuant to these provisions.
For the year ended December 31, 1994, shareholder servicing costs of First
Investors Cash Management Fund, Inc. included transfer agent fees and out
of pocket expenses accrued to ADM of $398,175 (net of $185,110 waived) and
$26,469 in custodian fees paid to FFS. First Investors Tax-Exempt Money
Market Fund, Inc.'s shareholder servicing costs included transfer agent
fees and out of pocket expenses accrued to ADM in the amount of $56,243
(net of $29,495 waived).
4. Distribution Plan--First Investors Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc.
has adopted a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, under
which fees may be paid to Administrators for distribution and
administrative services. Payments under the Plan are made by the adviser

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
First Investors Cash Management Fund, Inc. and
First Investors Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
First Investors Cash Management Fund, Inc. and First Investors Tax- Exempt
Money Market Fund, Inc. including the portfolios of investments, as of
December 31, 1994, and the related statement of operations for the year
then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two
years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the ten
years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements.
Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31,
1994, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of First Investors Cash Management Fund, Inc. and First Investors
Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc. at December 31, 1994, and the results of
their operations, changes in their net assets and financial highlights for
each of the respective periods presented, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
