Dear Fellow Shareholder:
 
I am pleased to provide to you the semiannual report for Heritage Cash
Trust-Money Market Fund for the six-month period ended February 28, 1995. Your
Fund's assets increased by approximately $100 million during this period to a
total of $1.081 billion.
 
Yields on money market securities continued to increase during the six-month
reporting period in response to the actions of the Federal Reserve Board. The
seven-day effective yield for your Fund was 5.49% on February 28, compared to
3.98% on August 31, 1994, and 2.53% a year ago. In the weeks since the end of
the reporting period, rates have remained relatively unchanged, with the
seven-day effective yield standing at 5.50% as of the date of this letter.
 
As we mentioned a year ago, money market funds normally are among the best
performing categories of fixed income funds in a rising interest rate
environment. Last year certainly was no exception as most fixed income funds
actually lost money for the first time in a number of years. Investors in money
market funds such as yours generally fared better as their net asset values
remained stable and yields on their funds increased. Over the past year, your
Fund has maintained a shorter average portfolio maturity than most other money
market funds. This strategy has allowed the yield on your Fund to respond more
quickly to increasing interest rates. Your Fund's average maturity continues to
remain short relative to the industry averages in anticipation of what we
believe may be a further interest rate increase at the Federal Open Market
Committee meeting in May.
 
At Heritage Cash Trust-Money Market Fund, we take a conservative approach to
investing your portfolio. Your Fund continues to maintain a AAAm rating from
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group reflecting our adherence to even more
restrictive criteria on our credit quality and average portfolio maturity than
required by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules. We also continue to
offer you a number of convenient features such as free checks, free unlimited
checkwriting with a $100 minimum per check, monthly statements that may be
consolidated with your brokerage accounts and daily sweeps of cash to and from
your brokerage accounts to help facilitate your other investment needs. With
respect to this last point, you should be aware that beginning in June 1995, you
will be required to settle securities trades with your brokerage firm within
three business days rather than the current requirement of five business days.
This new "T+3" requirement may make the use of a holding place for your cash
which is coordinated with your brokerage activity even more important. Please
call your account executive or financial advisor -- or call us at
800/421-4184 -- if you have any questions about these features.
 
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,
 
                                          Stephen G. Hill
                                          President

                    HERITAGE CASH TRUST -- MONEY MARKET FUND
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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
        maturities of not more than 397 days. 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 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 in 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.
 
        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 investments 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.
 
        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.
 
        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.
 
Note 2: FUND SHARES.  At February 28, 1995, there was an unlimited number of
        shares of beneficial interest of no par value authorized. Transactions
        in shares of the Fund during the six month period ended February 28,
        1995 and the year ended August 31, 1994, at a constant net asset value
        of $1.00 per share, were as follows:

Note 4: MANAGEMENT, DISTRIBUTION, SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENT AND TRUSTEES'
        FEES.  Under the Fund's Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement
        with Heritage Asset Management, Inc. (the "Manager"), the Fund agrees to
        pay to the Manager for investment advice, portfolio management services
        (including the placement of brokerage orders), and certain compliance
        and administrative services a fee equal to an annual rate of 0.50% of
        the first $500,000,000 of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.475% of
        the next $500,000,000, 0.45% of the next $500,000,000, 0.425% of the
        next $500,000,000, and 0.40% of any excess over $2,000,000,000 of such
        net assets, computed daily and payable monthly. The annualized effective
        management fee rate for the six month period ended February 28, 1995 was
        .49%. The amount payable to the Manager as of February 28, 1995 was
        $194,734. 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. Effective January 1, 1993, 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 .79%, on an annual basis, of the Fund's average daily
        net assets. Under these arrangements, management fees of $169,438 ($.001
        per share) were waived during the six month period ended February 28,
        1995. If total Fund expenses fall below the expense limitation agreed to
        by the Manager before 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 fees waived ($193,112, for the year ended
        August 31, 1993) ($207,108, for the year ended August 31, 1994) if total
        Fund expenses fall below the annual expense limitation before the end of
        the years ending August 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
 
        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
        February 28, 1995 was $220,092. In addition, the Manager performs Fund
        Accounting services for the Fund and charged $18,223 during the current
        period of which $6,000 was payable as of February 28, 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 February
        28, 1995 was $123,894. The Manager, the Distributor and the 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 which are also advised by the Manager (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.
