PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S LETTER 
FIRST INVESTORS CASH MANAGEMENT FUND, INC.
FIRST INVESTORS TAX-EXEMPT MONEY MARKET FUND, INC.

Dear Investor:

At the end of January, when the economy appeared to be overheating and
inflationary pressures appeared to be mounting, the market anticipated and
welcomed a seventh increase in short-term interest rates from the Federal
Reserve. Now, less than six months later, expectations and outlook for the
economy and short-term interest rates appear less definite. The market generally
is anticipating an easing from the Federal Reserve as the economy has been
exhibiting weakness and inflation has only slightly increased.

In taxable money market funds, portfolio strategies have reflected this
change in outlook and environment. As the yield on the one year U.S. Treasury
bill has shed more than 100 basis points in the first six months of the year,
weighted average maturities of taxable retail money market funds have increased
by more than 40%. Though weighted average maturities were increasing in the
first half of 1995, yields remained relatively constant. However, fund yields
have recently begun to fall as the market's outlook for lower short-term
interest rates has strengthened.

Asset flows into money market funds, both taxable and tax-free, continued to
be strong through the first six months of the year, creating technical
pressures in the markets. Supply in the municipal market has been declining as
many issuers that previously had short-term debt outstanding have taken
advantage of favorable market conditions by calling their short-term debt and
issuing long-term debt.

A conservative approach to investing and saving is paramount in this
increasingly volatile world of finance. Money market funds in general, and
First Investors money market funds in particular, are among the most
conservative investment vehicles available to the public. We strive to maintain
stability of principal by investing in only "first tier", short-term securities
that present minimal risk to our shareholders. Professional management, high
quality service, liquidity in the form of free check writing and federal wire
redemption privileges and the relatively low risk nature of money market funds,
coupled with a return that is generally higher than that available on most bank
savings accounts, make First Investors money market funds part of a balanced
savings and investment plan.

As always we appreciate the opportunity to serve your investment needs.

Sincerely,

/s/ Clark D. Wagner

Clark D. Wagner
Chief Investment Officer

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
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-At June 30, 1995, paid-in capital amounted to $119,356,163
for First Investors Cash Management Fund, Inc. and $25,102,546 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.

The Funds sell two classes of shares, Class A and Class B. Class B shares
are subject to a 1% 12b-1 fee and can only be acquired through an exchange from
another First Investors eligible Fund. As of June 30, 1995, there have been no
transactions in the Class B shares, other than the sale of 10 shares of each
Fund to First Investors Management Company, Inc. ("FIMCO").

3. ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILLIATES-Certain officers and
directors of the Funds are officers and directors of the investment adviser,
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 .50% of each Fund's average daily
net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the investment adviser
voluntarily reduced this fee by $128,019 for First Investors Cash Management
Fund, Inc. and by $24,262 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,

                                                                              11

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 six months ended June 30, 1995, no
reimbursement was required pursuant to these provisions.

For the six months ended June 30, 1995, shareholder servicing costs of First
Investors Cash Management Fund, Inc. included transfer agent fees and out of
pocket expenses accrued to ADM of $127,860 (net of $64,065 waived) and $12,440
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 $17,214 (net of $13,577 waived).

First Investors Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Inc. has adopted a Distribution
Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act which authorizes the underwriter or
adviser to make payments from their own resources for distribution and
administrative services.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing

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
