Dear Fellow Shareholders:
 
     I am pleased to provide you with the annual report for Heritage Cash
Trust-Money Market Fund for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1995. During this
period, the net assets of your Fund increased from approximately $982 million to
$1.29 billion.
 
     After remaining at below 3% from 1992 through early 1994, rates on our
Money Market Fund increased steadily to over 5% earlier this year. As of the end
of your Fund's most recent fiscal year, the seven-day effective yield was 5.12%.
We do not expect significant near-term action from the Federal Reserve Board
that would cause rates either to increase significantly or to fall to the levels
of two years ago.
 
     We continue to take a very conservative approach to investing the assets of
your Fund's portfolio. Your Fund continues to maintain a AAAm rating from
Standard & Poor's reflecting the fact that our credit quality and average
maturity criteria are even more restrictive than those required by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Heritage Cash Trust also continues to offer
you a wide range of convenient features including free checks, free checkwriting
with a $100 minimum check amount, and daily sweeps of cash to and from brokerage
accounts. In June of this year, the time period to settle securities trades with
your brokerage firm decreased from five to three days. These new "T+3" rules
make even more important the use of a cash holding place such as Heritage Cash
Trust in conjunction with your brokerage account.
 
     Thank you for your continuing investment in Heritage Cash Trust-Money
Market Fund. We look forward to serving your investment needs for years to come.
 
                                          Sincerely,
 
                                          /s/ Stephen G. Hill

                    HERITAGE CASH TRUST -- MONEY MARKET FUND
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Note 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.  Heritage Cash Trust (the "Trust") is
        organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the
        Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, diversified,
        open-end management investment company consisting of two separate
        investment portfolios, the Money Market Fund (the "Fund") and the
        Municipal Money Market Fund. The Fund is designed for investors who wish
        to participate in a supervised portfolio of debt securities with
        remaining maturities of not more than 397 days. The Fund offers two
        classes of shares, Class A and Class C Shares. Class C Shares may be
        acquired only through exchanges of Class C Shares of other Heritage
        Mutual Funds. At August 31, 1995, there were no Class C Shares
        outstanding. The policies described below are followed consistently by
        the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity
        with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
        Security Valuation: The Fund uses the amortized cost method of security
        valuation (as set forth in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of
        1940, as amended). The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by
        valuing it at cost at the time of purchase and thereafter
        accreting/amortizing any purchase discount/premium at a constant rate
        until maturity, regardless of the effect of fluctuating interest rates
        on the market value of the instrument.
 
        Repurchase Agreements: The Fund enters into repurchase agreements
        whereby the Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the
        underlying securities, the market value of which at the time of purchase
        is required to be an amount equal to at least 100% of the resale price.
 
        Federal Income Taxes: The Fund is treated as a single corporate taxpayer
        as provided for in The Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended. The Fund's
        policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
        of 1986, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment
        companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to
        its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal
        income and excise taxes. As of August 31, 1995, the Fund has net tax
        basis capital loss carryforwards of $9,682 and $6,037 which may be
        applied to any net taxable gains until their expiration dates in 2001
        and 2002, respectively. In addition the Fund has post-October losses
        that the Fund has deferred in the amount of $269,316.
 
        Distribution of Income and Gains: Distributions from net investment
        income and net realized gains available for distribution are declared
        daily and paid monthly. The Fund uses the identified cost method for
        determining realized gain or loss on investment transactions for both
        financial and federal income tax reporting purposes.
 
        State Registration Expenses: State registration fees are amortized based
        either on the time period covered by the registration or as related
        shares are sold, whichever is appropriate for each state.
 
        Capital Accounts: The Fund reports the undistributed net investment
        income and accumulated net realized gain (loss) accounts on a basis
        approximating amounts available for future tax distributions (or to
        offset future taxable realized gains when a capital loss carryforward is
        available). Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make
        reclassifications among certain capital accounts without impacting the
        net asset value of the Fund.
 
        Other: Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis which
        is generally the same as settlement date. Interest income is recorded on
        the accrual basis.
 
Note 2: FUND SHARES.  At August 31, 1995, there was an unlimited number of
        shares of beneficial interest of no par value authorized. Transactions
        in shares of the Fund during the years ended August 31, 1995 and 1994,
        at a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share, were as follows:

        management fee rate after fee waivers for the year ended August 31, 1995
        was .46%. The amount payable to the Manager as of August 31, 1995 was
        $295,047. The agreement also provides for a reduction in such fees in
        any year to the extent that operating expenses of the Fund exceed
        applicable state expense limitations. For the period January 2, 1992 to
        December 31, 1992, the Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its fees and,
        if necessary, reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund's annual
        operating expenses exceeded .77%, on an annual basis, of the Fund's
        average daily net assets. Effective January 1, 1993, this voluntary
        expense limitation was changed to .79%, on an annual basis, of the
        Fund's average daily net assets. Under these arrangements, management
        fees of $244,972 ($.0002 per share) were waived during the year ended
        August 31, 1995. If total Fund expenses fall below the expense
        limitation agreed to by the Manager before the end of the year ending
        August 31, 1997, the Fund may be required to pay the Manager a portion
        or all of the waived management fee. In addition, the Fund may be
        required to pay the Manager a portion or all of the management fee
        waived ($207,108) in the prior year ended August 31, 1994 if total Fund
        expenses fall below the annual expense limitation before the end of the
        year ending August 31, 1996.
 
        The Manager is also the Dividend Paying and Shareholder Servicing Agent
        for the Fund. The amount payable to the Manager for such expenses as of
        August 31, 1995 was $255,000. In addition, the Manager performs Fund
        Accounting services for the Fund and charged $35,932 during the current
        year of which $6,000 was payable as of August 31, 1995.
 
        Pursuant to a plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
        Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Fund pays Raymond James
        & Associates, Inc. (the "Distributor") a fee equal to 0.15% of average
        daily net assets for the services it provides in connection with the
        promotion and distribution of Fund shares. Such fee is accrued daily and
        payable monthly. The amount payable to the Distributor as of August 31,
        1995 was $169,255. The Manager, Distributor, Fund Accountant and
        Shareholder Servicing Agent are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of Raymond
        James Financial, Inc.
 
        Trustees of the Trust also serve as Trustees for Heritage Capital
        Appreciation Trust, Heritage Income-Growth Trust, Heritage Income Trust,
        Heritage Series Trust and Heritage U.S. Government Income Fund, mutual
        funds that are also advised by the Manager or its affiliates
        (collectively referred to as the Heritage Mutual Funds). Each Trustee of
        the Heritage Mutual Funds who is not an interested person of the Manager
        receives an annual fee of $8,000 and an additional fee of $2,000 for
        each combined quarterly meeting of the Heritage Mutual Funds attended.
        Trustees' fees and expenses are shared equally by each of the Heritage
        Mutual Funds.

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
  Heritage Cash Trust-Money Market Fund:
 
     We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Heritage Cash
Trust-Money Market Fund as of August 31, 1995, and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for
each of the nine years in the period then ended and for the period November 25,
1985 (commencement of operations) to August 31, 1986. These financial statements
and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's 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
August 31, 1995 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
Heritage Cash Trust-Money Market Fund as of August 31, 1995, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of
the nine years in the period then ended and for the period November 25, 1985
(commencement of operations) to August 31, 1986 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
