PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The year so far has been an unsettling time for many investors. For
example, after three years of a nearly perfect environment for stock market
investing, stock prices generally fell from February through June, and bond
prices fell, as well. Although there was a late-summer stock rally,
volatility continued into the fourth quarter and no one can know for sure
what will happen in the months ahead.
We do know, however, that market ups and downs are a normal part of
investing. We have historically seen corrections of 10% or more every two
years. That's why I thought this might be a good time to review three basic
investment principles that have proven helpful to successful investors in
every market cycle.
First, take a long-term approach when investing. If you can afford to leave
your money invested through the inevitable ups and downs of financial
markets, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline.
Over time, for example, stock prices have gone up - and have significantly
outperformed other types of investments and stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage risk by diversifying your investments. A
stock mutual fund is already diversified, because it invests in many
different companies. You can increase your diversification by investing in
a number of different stock funds, or in different investment categories,
such as bonds. You should also keep money you'll need in the near future in
a more stable investment.
Finally, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing
a set amount of money at the same time each month or quarter. That way, you
can avoid getting caught up in the excitement of a rapidly-rising market -
and won't end up buying all your shares at market highs. This strategy
won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, but
it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. For this to be
effective, you must continue to buy shares in both up and down markets.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account
Builder.SM
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects both the change in a fund's share
price over a given period, and reinvestment of
its dividends (or income). Yield measures the income paid by a fund. Since
a money market fund tries to maintain
a $1 share price, yield is an important measure of performance.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

Fidelity Cash Reserves 3.74% 27.17% 81.84%
Consumer Price Index 2.81% 19.06% 42.36%
Average All Taxable
Money Market Fund 3.55% 25.88% 78.37%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period
- - in this case, one year, five years, or ten years. For example, if you
invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, you
would end up with $1,050. Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer
price index (CPI) helps show how your investment did compared to inflation.
To measure how the fund stacked up against its peers, you can compare its
return to the average all taxable money market fund's total return. This
average currently reflects the performance of 699 money market funds
tracked by IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND REPORT.(registered trademark) (The
periods covered by the CPI and IBC/Donoghue numbers are the closest
available match to those covered by the fund.)

YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual
percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or
compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's
current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. This is
compared to similar yields for the average all taxable money market fund
and the average bank money market deposit account (MMDA). Figures for the
average taxable money market fund are from the IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND
REPORT.(registered trademark) The MMDA average is supplied by BANK RATE

A MONEY MARKET FUND'S TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS WILL VARY, AND REFLECT PAST
RESULTS RATHER THAN PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
COMPARING
PERFORMANCE
There are some important
differences between a bank
money market deposit account
(MMDA) and a money market
fund. First, the U.S.
government neither insures nor
guarantees a money market
fund. In fact, there is no
assurance that a money fund
will maintain a $1 share price.
Second, a money market
fund returns to its
shareholders income earned
by the fund's investments
after expenses. This is in
contrast to banks, which set
their MMDA rates periodically
based on current interest
rates, competitors' rates, and
internal criteria.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Bob Litterst,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Cash Reserves
Q. BOB, WHAT HAS OCCURRED IN THE SHORT-TERM MARKET DURING THE PAST YEAR?
A. Like other markets, it has gone through major changes. The Federal
Reserve Board increased the federal funds rate - or the rate banks charge
each other for overnight loans - six times, boosting it from 3.00% at the
beginning of the period to 5.50% by the end of November. The Fed decided to
raise interest rates to preempt an increase in inflation. The primary
factor behind those rate hikes was an economy that has been much stronger
than expected, fueled by significant improvements in labor market
conditions, which in turn, have bolstered consumer attitudes, incomes and
spending. In addition, the manufacturing sector has been very strong, and
business investment has continued at a robust pace. Early in the year, the
rate increases were intended to unwind the easy money conditions that had
existed in 1992 and 1993 to boost a faltering economy. By the fall of 1994,
the rate increases engineered by the Fed had pushed policy into a
restrictive zone, designed to slow the economy to a more sustainable growth
path. Yields on short-term investments rose along with the federal funds
rate. For example, yields on six-month Treasury bills climbed to 6.3% on
November 30, 1994 from 3.4% a year earlier.
Q. HOW DID YOU MANAGE THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS IN THE RISING RATE
ENVIRONMENT?
A. In general, I pursued a defensive strategy, gradually shortening the
fund's average maturity from 79 days to around 42 to 43 days. I did not
shorten that maturity more because I periodically attempted to add value to
the fund by purchasing money market securities with longer maturities, out
to six months, that I felt fully reflected the risk of future increases in
market interest rates. This tactic worked well at times, but in retrospect,
the pace and magnitude of the increase in short-term rates rewarded
defensive strategies the most.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund's seven-day yield on November 30, 1994, was 5.06%, compared to
2.87% yield at the end of November 1993. For the 12 months ended November
30, the fund's total return was 3.74%. That beat the 3.55% average total
return for all taxable money market funds tracked by IBC/Donoghue.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE SHORT-TERM MARKET AND THE FUND?
A. The economy is showing considerable strength on many fronts and momentum
appears to be growing, in spite of the Fed's efforts to cool it down. I
think the Fed will continue to raise rates until economic activity
moderates to a more sustainable pace, say in the area of 2.5% real Gross
Domestic Product. The Fed also may respond to any signs that inflation
pressures are rising. With that in mind, I will continue to manage the fund
in a cautious manner.

MONEY MARKETS AND
DERIVATIVES:
The word "derivatives" covers
a wide range of financial
agreements, of varying
degrees of complexity, that
have market values based on
security or market indices. All
"derivative" securities in
Fidelity's money market funds
are designed to have the price
characteristics of typical
money market securities.
During the recent Federal
Reserve Board interest rate
increases, all Fidelity money
market holdings performed as
designed and the funds
maintained a stable share
price of $1.00.
The more complex of these
instruments, such as floating
rate notes with unusual and
complex floating rate
formulas, frequently have too
much price volatility to be
appropriate investments for
money market funds. Many of
them do not offer the degree
of price stability Fidelity
believes is required in order
for its funds to maintain a
stable $1.00 share price.
Therefore, despite their
frequent higher yields at the
time they are sold, Fidelity
money market funds have not
purchased these volatile
securities. While this may
sometimes have caused
Fidelity money market funds
to have lower gross yields
than certain other funds,
Fidelity believes its investors
value prudence as well as
performance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended November 30, 1994
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity Cash Reserves (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Phillips Street
Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
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 Delaware business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and
thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible for
determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at least
equal to the resale price.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of FMR, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more
joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements that mature in 60 days or less from the date of
purchase, and are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
obligations.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in privately placed
restricted securities. These securities may be resold in transactions
exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and
expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the
end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted
to $637,983,000 or 4.4% of net assets.
3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee that is calculated by multiplying the sum of two components by the
fund's average net assets and adding an income-based fee. One component,
the group fee rate, is the weighted average of a series of rates and is
based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by
FMR. The rates ranged from .1325% to .3700% for the period December 1, 1993
to July 31, 1994 and .1200% to .3700% for the period August 1, 1994 to
November 30, 1994. In the event that these rates were lower than the
contractual rates in effect during those periods, FMR voluntarily
implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower
management fee. The other component, the individual fund fee rate, is
0.03%. The income-based fee is added only when the fund's yield exceeds 5%.
At that time the income-based fee would equal 6% of that portion of the
fund's gross income that represents a gross yield of more than 5% per year.
The maximum income-based component is 0.24% (annualized) of average net
assets. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate
of .19% of average net assets.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the fund's investment sub-adviser, FMR Texas Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the
management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any voluntary
expense reimbursements which may be in effect, and after reducing the fee
for any payments by FMR pursuant to the fund's Distribution and Service
Plan.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
FSC receives fees based on the type, size, number of accounts and the
number of transactions made by shareholders. FSC pays for typesetting,
printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The year so far has been an unsettling time for many investors. For
example, after three years of a nearly perfect environment for stock market
investing, stock prices generally fell from February through June, and bond
prices fell, as well. Although there was a late-summer stock rally,
volatility continued into the fourth quarter and no one can know for sure
what will happen in the months ahead.
We do know, however, that market ups and downs are a normal part of
investing. We have historically seen corrections of 10% or more every two
years. That's why I thought this might be a good time to review three basic
investment principles that have proven helpful to successful investors in
every market cycle.
First, take a long-term approach when investing. If you can afford to leave
your money invested through the inevitable ups and downs of financial
markets, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline.
Over time, for example, stock prices have gone up - and have significantly
outperformed other types of investments and stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage risk by diversifying your investments. A
stock mutual fund is already diversified, because it invests in many
different companies. You can increase your diversification by investing in
a number of different stock funds, or in different investment categories,
such as bonds. You should also keep money you'll need in the near future in
a more stable investment.
Finally, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing
a set amount of money at the same time each month or quarter. That way, you
can avoid getting caught up in the excitement of a rapidly-rising market -
and won't end up buying all your shares at market highs. This strategy
won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, but
it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. For this to be
effective, you must continue to buy shares in both up and down markets.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account
Builder.SM
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects both the change in a fund's share
price over a given period, and reinvestment of its dividends (or income).
Yield measures the income paid by a fund. Since a money market fund tries
to maintain a $1 share price, yield is an important measure of performance.

Consumer Price Index 2.81% 19.06% 42.36%
Average Government
Money Market Fund 3.39% 24.94% 75.12%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period
- - in this case, one year, five years, or ten years. For example, if you
invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, you
would end up with $1,050. Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer
price index (CPI) helps show how your investment did compared to inflation.
To measure how the fund stacked up against its peers, you can compare its
return to the average government money market fund's total return. This
average currently reflects the performance of 212 government money market
funds tracked by IBC/Donoghue. (The periods covered by the CPI and
IBC/Donoghue numbers are the closest available match to those covered by
the fund.)

MMDA
YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual
percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or
compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's
current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. You can
compare these yields to the average U.S. Government money market fund and
the average bank money market deposit account (MMDA). Figures for the
average U.S. Government money market are supplied by IBC/Donoghue. The MMDA
average is supplied by BANK RATE MONITOR(Trademark).
A MONEY MARKET FUND'S TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS WILL VARY, AND REFLECT PAST
RESULTS RATHER THAN PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
COMPARING
PERFORMANCE
There are some important
differences between a bank
money market deposit account
(MMDA) and a money market
fund. First, the U.S.
government neither insures nor
guarantees a money market
fund. In fact, there is no
assurance that a money
market fund will maintain a $1
share price. Second, a money
market fund returns to its
shareholders income earned
by the fund's investments after
expenses. This is in contrast to
banks, which set their MMDA
rates periodically based on
current interest rates,
competitors' rates, and internal
criteria.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Leland Barron, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
U.S. Government Reserves
Q. LELAND, WHAT HAPPENED TO SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATES DURING THE PAST YEAR?
A. Interest rates began edging higher in late December 1993 and early
January 1994. After that, they rose dramatically as the Federal Reserve
Board began a series of rate increases. Since early February, the Fed has
raised the federal funds rate six times from 3.00% at the beginning of
February to 5.50% at the end of November. As is often the case during
periods of rising rates, yields on Treasury bills and other money market
instruments rose more than the federal funds rate as investors looked
forward to additional rate increases by the Fed. For example, the yield on
six-month Treasury bills rose from around 3.4% to 6.30% over the past 12
months.
Q. HOW DID YOU POSITION THE FUND TO COPE WITH RISING RATES?
A. I lowered its average maturity from about 60 days in early February to
around 41 days on November 30. I made the change because in a rising rate
environment, a shorter maturity gives the fund the ability to reinvest
fairly quickly in securities that might offer higher yields. Recently, the
fund's average maturity has ranged from 45 to 55 days.
Q. WHY DIDN'T YOU REDUCE THE FUND'S MATURITY EVEN MORE AS RATES CLIMBED
HIGHER?
A. In a rising interest rate environment, the yield curve - or the
difference in yield between short-term and long-term securities - usually
steepens. That's because longer-term yields rise faster than short-term
yields. Often, yields on securities with six-month maturities are
substantially higher than overnight or very short-term alternatives and
will more than adequately compensate the investor for the risk of higher
future rates. Given these conditions, the fund's yield would benefit from
holding longer-term securities as opposed to keeping the average maturity
very short. When yields rose during the summer to reflect concerns that the
Fed would raise rates in June and July, I extended the fund's average
maturity to between 50 and 60 days. The Fed didn't raise rates in either
month, and the fund's longer-term securities performed well.
Q. WHAT OTHER CHANGES DID YOU MAKE IN THE FUND?
A. I increased the fund's investments in variable-rate securities from
around 10% to 20%. These securities have interest rates that are reset
daily, weekly or monthly to adjust to prevailing rates. That makes them
good investments during periods of rising rates.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Quite well. Its seven-day yield as of November 30, 1994, was 5.11%,
compared to 2.89% at the end of November, 1993, reflecting the generally
higher yields in the short-term market. The fund's total return for the
year ended November 30, 1994, was 3.64%. That compared to a 3.39% average
total return for government money market funds according to IBC/Donoghue.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE SHORT-TERM MARKET AND THE FUND?
A. So far, the Fed has not been successful in its goal of slowing economic
growth to a sustainable non-inflationary annual rate of around 2.5%. So it
seems likely that it will boost short-term rates another full percentage
point or more. But I think yields on six-month securities already are high
enough to reflect the potential for such interest rate hikes. As a result,
I have added some of those relatively long-maturity issues to the fund's
investments. At the same time, I will continue to maintain an average
maturity of around 40 to 50 days so that the fund remains flexible enough
to respond to rate hikes.

MONEY MARKETS AND
DERIVATIVES:
The word "derivatives" covers
a wide range of financial
agreements, of varying
degrees of complexity, that
have market values based on
security or market indices. All
"derivative" securities in
Fidelity's money market funds
are designed to have the price
characteristics of typical
money market securities.
During the recent Federal
Reserve Board interest rate
increases, all Fidelity money
market holdings performed as
designed and the funds
maintained a stable share
price of $1.00.
The more complex of these
instruments, such as floating
rate notes with unusual and
complex floating rate
formulas, frequently have too
much price volatility to be
appropriate investments for
money market funds. Many of
them do not offer the degree
of price stability Fidelity
believes is required in order
for its funds to maintain a
stable $1.00 share price.
Therefore, despite their
frequent higher yields at the
time they are sold, Fidelity
money market funds have not
purchased these volatile
securities. While this may
sometimes have caused
Fidelity money market funds
to have lower gross yields
than certain other funds,
Fidelity believes its investors
value prudence as well as
performance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended November 30, 1994
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Fidelity U.S. Government Reserves (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Charles
Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. At
a special meeting of the shareholders of the fund held on September 21,
1994, shareholders approved an Agreement and Plan of Conversion and
Termination (the Plan of Conversion), providing for the conversion of the
fund from a separate series of Fidelity Charles Street Trust, a
Massachusetts business trust, to a separate series of Fidelity Phillips
Street Trust, a Delaware business trust, effective January 13, 1995. The
individual investment objective, policies and limitations of the successor
fund will remain the same. On March 17, 1994, the Trustees approved a
change in the fiscal year end of the fund from September 30 to November 30.
Accordingly, the financial statements of the fund are presented for the two
month period ended November 30, 1994. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and
thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible for
determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at least
equal to the resale price.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. At all times that a reverse repurchase
agreement is outstanding, the fund identifies cash and liquid securities as
segregated in its custodian records with a value at least equal to its
obligation under the agreement. On November 30, 1994 the fund had a reverse
repurchase agreement amounting to $30,560,000 at 5.4% outstanding. The
agreement, which matured December 1, 1994 was collateralized by $32,000,000
of U.S. Treasury Bills due 8/24/95.
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of FMR, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more
joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements that mature in 60 days or less from the date of
purchase, and are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
obligations.
3. JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT.
At the end of the period, the fund had 20% or more of its total investments
in repurchase agreements through a joint trading account. These repurchase
agreements were with entities whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and
found satisfactory by FMR. The repurchase agreements were dated 11/30/94
and due 12/1/94. The maturity values of the joint trading account
investments were $359,603,000 at 5.81%. The investments in repurchase
agreements through the joint trading account are summarized as follows:
SUMMARY OF JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT
AT 5.81%
Number of Dealers or Banks 4
Maximum Amount With One Dealer or Bank 42.8%
Aggregate Principal Amount of Agreements $ 3,500,854,000
Aggregate Maturity Amount of Agreements $ 3,501,419,000
Aggregate Market Value of Collateral $ 3,591,978,000
Coupon Rates of Collateral 0%-13.50 %
Maturity Dates of Collateral 12/21/94-6/1/28
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee that is calculated by multiplying the sum of two components by the
fund's average net assets and adding an income-based fee. One component,
the group fee rate, is the weighted average of a series of rates and is
based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by
FMR. The rates ranged from .1200% to .3700% for the period October 1, 1994
to November 30, 1994. The other component, the individual fund fee rate, is
0.03%. The income-based fee is added only when the fund's yield exceeds 5%.
At that time the income-based fee would equal 6% of that portion of the
fund's gross income that represents a gross yield of more than 5% per year.
The maximum income-based component is 0.24% (annualized) of average net
assets. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate
of .20% of average net assets.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the fund's investment sub-adviser, FMR Texas Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the
management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any voluntary
expense reimbursements which may be in effect, and after reducing the fee
for any payments by FMR pursuant to the fund's Distribution and Service
Plan.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES -
CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
FSC receives fees based on the type, size, number of accounts and the
number of transactions made by shareholders. FSC pays for typesetting,
printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and Shareholders of Fidelity U. S. Government Reserves:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Fidelity U. S. Government Reserves at November 30, 1994, the results of its
operations for the two months then ended, the changes in its net assets for
the two months then ended and the years ended September 30, 1994 and
September 30, 1993, and its financial highlights for the periods indicated,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trust's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities owned at November 30,
1994 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.
