Dear Fellow Shareholders:
 
     It is my pleasure to provide you with the semiannual report for Heritage
Cash Trust - Municipal Money Market Fund (the "Fund") for the six month period
ended February 28, 1997.
 
     During the past year, there was almost constant speculation about what the
Federal Reserve Board would do in an effort to control the growth of the economy
and discourage inflation. The stock and bond markets experienced significant
volatility as investors worried about whether the economy was growing too fast
or too slow. The consensus during most of the year was that we were in a
"Goldilocks" economy, growing neither too fast nor too slow but at just the
right pace. Short-term interest rates remained relatively constant during this
period. One indicator of this consistency is the seven-day effective yield on
your Fund. At the end of February 1996, August 1996 and February 1997, the
seven-day effective yield stood at 2.83%, 2.92% and 2.77%, respectively.
 
     In late March, the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") finally raised short-term
rates by 0.25% in a preemptive effort to head off inflation. While we continue
to believe that the fundamental economic data do not support further tightening
in the near-term, we are fully aware of the Fed's commitment to fight inflation
(perhaps even before it appears). In light of this, we have reduced slightly the
average maturity of the Fund's portfolio in an effort to take advantage of
further increases in short-term rates.
 
     As we have mentioned in our last two reports to you, the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") is modifying certain rules under which money market
funds operate. We now expect these rules to become effective later this year. We
do not expect these rules to cause any significant changes in how your Fund is
managed.
 
     Your Fund continues to maintain a AAAm rating from Standard & Poor's
Ratings Group. This rating reflects the fact that we follow even more
restrictive investment criteria in managing your Fund than required by the SEC.
We also continue to provide a wide range of services that, we hope, make your
Fund extremely convenient for you to use. These services include free checking,
daily sweeps to and from your brokerage accounts and automatic payment programs.
If there are ever any ways in which you believe we could better serve you,
please call us at 800-709-3863.
 
     Please remember that if you are subject to the alternative minimum tax, a
portion of your Fund's income may be considered a preference item for tax
purposes. Also, if you are subject to a state income tax, a portion of the
income your Fund earns from securities issued in your state may be exempt from
your state income tax.
 
     On behalf of all of us at Heritage, thank you for your continuing
investment in Heritage Cash Trust - Municipal Money Market Fund.
 
                                          Sincerely,
 
                                          /s/ Stephen G. Hill

                                          Stephen G. Hill

                         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 Municipal Money Market Fund (the "Fund") and
        the Money Market Fund. The Fund is designed for investors who wish to
        participate in a portfolio of federally tax-exempt debt securities with
        remaining maturities of not more than 397 days. The preparation of
        financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
        principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
        affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ
        from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant
        accounting policies:
 
        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.
 
        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 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.
 
        Organization Expenses: Expenses incurred in connection with the
        formation of the Fund were deferred and are being amortized on a
        straight-line basis over 60 months from the date of commencement of
        operations.
 
        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 February 28, 1997, there was an unlimited number of
        shares of beneficial interest of no par value authorized. Transactions
        in shares and dollars of the Fund during the six month period ended
        February 28, 1997 and for the year ended August 31, 1996 at a constant
        net asset value of $1.00 per share, were as follows:

Note 3: PURCHASES, SALES AND MATURITIES OF SECURITIES.  For the six month period
        ended February 28, 1997, purchases, sales and maturities of short-term
        investment securities aggregated $469,147,150, $409,335,000 and
        $22,000,000, respectively.
 
Note 4: MANAGEMENT, SUBADVISORY, 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. Effective January

                                  (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
        average daily net assets: .50% of the first $250,000,000, .475% of the
        next $250,000,000, .45% of the next $250,000,000, .425% of the next
        $250,000,000 and .40% on assets over $1 billion of such net assets. The
        amount payable to the Manager as of February 28, 1997 was $156,162.
        Since inception, the Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive its fee
        and, if necessary, reimburse the Fund to the extent that Fund operating
        expenses exceed .77%, on an annual basis, of the Fund's average daily
        net assets. Under this voluntary limitation, management fees of $40,432
        ($.00002 per share) were waived in the year ended August 31, 1995. In
        the current period, the Fund's operating expenses fell below .77% of
        average daily assets. Accordingly, the Fund paid the Manager $21,305 of
        the fees waived in 1995. If total Fund expenses remain below the expense
        limitation agreed to by the Manager during the year ending August 31,
        1997, the Fund may be required to pay the Manager a portion or all of
        the previously waived management fee.
 
       The Manager has entered into an agreement with Alliance Capital
       Management L.P. (the "Subadviser") to provide investment advice and
       portfolio management services, including placement of brokerage orders,
       to the Fund for a fee payable by the Manager equal to an annual rate of
       .125% of average daily net assets on assets up to $100 million, .10% of
       average daily net assets on assets from $100 million to $250 million, and
       .05% on average daily net assets exceeding $250 million.
 
       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, 1997 was $16,000. In addition, the Manager performs Fund
       accounting services for the Fund and charged $19,424 during the period of
       which $6,522 was payable as of February 28, 1997.
 
       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,
       1997 was $40,806. The Manager, Distributor, Fund Accountant and
       Shareholder Servicing Agent are all wholly owned subsidiaries of Raymond

       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 paid equally by each of the
       Heritage Mutual Funds.
