Fund Features
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Daily Dividends
The Fund declares dividends daily and distributes them monthly in the form of
additional shares.
o Check Redemption Privilege
After completing an authorization form, you may redeem your shares by writing
a check (in a minimum amount of $500) on your account. You will continue to
earn dividends until your check reaches the bank for clearance.
o No Sales Charge and Immediate Liquidity
You may buy or redeem shares in your account at any time. There is no sales
charge or penalty imposed by the Fund for the purchase or redemption of
shares (other fees and expenses do apply to a continued investment in the
Fund and are described in the prospectus.)
o Constant Net Asset Value
The Fund will attempt to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per
share and has done so since its inception on August 11, 1981. Although the
Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is
possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in a money
market fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
o Minimum Investment
The minimum initial investment is $1,500. Subsequent investments may be made
in amounts of $100 or more.

We are pleased to report on the progress of your Fund for the six months
ended September 30, 1999. At the end of the period, the Fund's net assets
totaled $6,445,145,668, an increase of more than 20% from September 30, 1998.
The distribution of the Fund's assets among its three series is illustrated in
the following pie chart.

With the acquisition of BT Alex. Brown by Deutsche Bank, the name of your
Fund has changed to the Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown Cash Reserve Fund. However,
the Fund's investment objective, policies, and strategies, as well as its
portfolio managers, remain the same.
MARKET ACTIVITY
During this semi-annual period, money market participants shifted their
focus away from the overseas crises that dominated the Fund's last fiscal year
to the ongoing strength of the U.S. economy. U.S. GDP growth was in excess of
2.5%-3%, and, except for certain commodities such as oil and gold, inflation
overall remained benign. In fact, the core Consumer Price Index increased only
1.9% on an annual basis through the end of August 1999, the lowest twelve month
rate of change in 33 years.
Even with the strong economy/low inflation scenario, the Federal Reserve
Board chose to focus on economic statistics such as strong retail sales and a
robust labor market as potential catalysts for future inflation. The Federal
Reserve Board did not officially move interest rates at their May meeting, but
it did adopt a policy bias tilted toward higher rates. Market expectations of
this Fed tightening together with consumer optimism, signs of global growth, and
above-trend U.S. growth combined to push short-term yields dramatically higher
in both the taxable and tax-exempt money markets. Finally, and as generally
expected, the Federal Reserve Board voted to raise the fed funds rate by 0.25%
to 5.0% on June 30th and to 5.25% on August 24th.
INVESTMENT REVIEW
We continue to manage the Fund conservatively, maintaining high portfolio
quality, adjusting weighted average maturities in response to market conditions,

and strictly limiting exposure to any particular issue. Evidence of our
insistence on these unusually high investment standards can be found in Standard
& Poor's (S&P) ratings of each Fund Series. The Prime, Treasury, and Tax-Free
Series each maintain a "AAAm" rating. This rating is the highest that S&P awards
to money market funds. We have always believed that a money fund is not a place
to take chances or to speculate for additional yield. At the same time, we are
pleased to have generated competitive returns for each of the Fund's Series, as
seen in the table below.

Prime Series
Our strategy in this Series continued to be concentrated on investing in
high quality issues. As of September 30, 1999, 91.8% of the Series was invested
in U.S. commercial paper, 4.2% in corporate floating rate securities, 3.4% in
U.S. certificates of deposit, 0.3% in U.S. corporate notes/bonds, 0.2% in
government agency securities, and 0.1% in repurchase agreements. For most of the
semi-annual period, we maintained a relatively neutral to the benchmark maturity
position. At September 30, 1999, the Series' weighted average maturity stood at
45 days.
Treasury Series
For most of the semi-annual period, we maintained a fairly neutral to the
benchmark maturity position, with the portfolio's weighted average maturity on
September 30, 1999 at 53 days. We were challenged by but also sought to take
advantage of a strong technical condition in the short-term Treasury market that
has existed for quite some time. This technical condition can be attributed both
to the cutback in the overall issuance by the U.S. Treasury and to investors'
decision to remain on the sidelines in an effort to avoid volatile stock and
bond markets. At the end of the semi-annual period, approximately 65.2% of the
portfolio was invested in short-term Treasury bills and 34.8% in short-term
Treasury notes.
Tax-Free Series
We adjusted the weighted average maturity within a range of 38 to 46 days
in this Series, a neutral to slightly short positioning, impacted as much by
annual seasonal phenomena within the tax-free sector as by Federal Reserve Board
policy. For example, in April, the short end of the municipal money market curve
became very attractive based on outflows associated with tax season. The Fund
was able to take advantage of these higher rates due to its large percentage of
variable rate and commercial paper holdings. In May and June, the Fund moved
from a short to neutral maturity position to offset some of the pressures on
fixed rate paper associated with the beginning of annual note season for many
municipalities. Note issuance was lower than in previous years, reflecting
excess cash flow generated from a strong economic environment.
In July, large seasonal cash inflows, due to principal and interest
payments, increased demand for money market eligible paper. Supply continued to
decrease. These factors put pressures on variable rate demand notes, resulting
in a 0.30% drop in yields. By month end, we shortened the Fund's weighted
average maturity in anticipation of the second tightening by the Federal Reserve
Board. During August, the state of Texas issued $3.9 billion in attractively
priced one-year cash flow notes, an increase of $1.8 billion from the previous
year. Due

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to the Fund's shortening strategy in July, the Fund was able to participate in
the deal, while moving the portfolio's maturity only to a neutral position.
These Texas notes proved to be a positive purchase for the Fund. While waiting
to see what the Federal Reserve Board's next move may or may not be, we kept the
Fund's weighted average maturity reasonably neutral throughout September.
At the end of the semi-annual period, 63.61% of the Series was invested in
municipal variable rate demand notes, 17.70% in municipal commercial paper,
13.85% in municipal bonds, 2.78% in municipal put bonds, and 2.06% in municipal
notes. While supply of tax-free securities continued to decrease over the
semi-annual period, the Fund was able to maintain its high quality portfolio. As
measured by Standard & Poor's, upgrades outpaced downgrades in the municipal
market for 16 straight quarters, as of September 30, 1999.
LOOKING AHEAD
We believe that the Federal Reserve Board will likely pause for the near
term while it assesses the results of its two previous tightenings and
vigilantly monitors future economic data for signs of future inflation.
Unemployment and the strength of the U.S. dollar become key factors in the Fed's
determinations. If the Federal Reserve Board tightens monetary policy once more,
it will probably be in November 1999. Early in the year 2000, the rate of U.S.
economic growth may slow enough for interest rates to reverse course and begin
drifting downward.
For the Prime Series, then, our strategy going forward is to continue to
slowly extend the portfolio's maturities into next year to take advantage of the
present steep yield curve caused by issuers aggressively extending their
liabilities to avoid any potential Y2K problems. We believe this strategy will
also allow us to maintain competitive yields, take advantage of any potential
rate hikes, and retain the liquidity needed for anticipated year-end
redemptions. In the Treasury Series, we may have an opportunity to extend the
portfolio's maturity once investor confidence in the stock and bond markets
returns. In the Tax-Free Series, our strategy for the near term is to maintain a
high degree of liquidity by somewhat increasing the portfolio's allocation to
daily demand notes and to make sure that we neither hold nor purchase any
securities that have January 1, 2000 maturity dates. In each of our Series, we
will continue to concentrate the portfolios in very high quality credits and to
maintain our conservative investment strategies and standards for the
foreseeable future.

yields, to our shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1--Significant Accounting Policies
Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown Cash Reserve Fund, Inc. ("the Fund") began
operations August 11, 1981. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end Investment Management
Company. Its objective is to seek as high a level of current income as is
consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity.
The Fund consists of three portfolios: the Prime Series, the Treasury
Series and the Tax-Free Series. The Prime Series consists of five classes:
Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown Cash Reserve Prime Shares ("Prime Shares"), Flag
Investors Cash Reserve Prime Shares Class A ("Flag Investors Class A Shares"),
Flag Investors Cash Reserve Prime Shares Class B ("Flag Investors Class B
Shares"), Quality Cash Reserve Prime Shares ("Quality Cash Shares") and Deutsche
Banc Alex. Brown Cash Reserve Prime Institutional Shares ("Prime Institutional
Shares"). The Treasury Series consists of two classes: Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown
Cash Reserve Treasury Shares ("Treasury Shares") and Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown
Cash Reserve Treasury Institutional Shares ("Treasury Institutional Shares").
The Tax-Free Series consists of two classes: Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown Cash
Reserve Tax-Free Shares ("Tax-Free Shares") and Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown Cash
Reserve Tax Free Institutional Shares ("Tax Free Institutional Shares").
Shareholders can vote only on issues that affect the share classes they own.
When preparing the Fund's financial statements, management makes estimates
and assumptions to comply with generally accepted accounting principles. These
estimates affect 1) the assets and liabilities that we report at the date of the
financial statements; 2) the contingent assets and liabilities that we disclose
at the date of the financial statements; and 3) the revenues and expenses that
we report for the period. Our estimates could be different from the actual
results. The Fund's significant accounting policies are:
A. Security Valuation--Each portfolio has a weighted average maturity of
90 days or less. The Fund values portfolio securities on the basis of
amortized cost, which is in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and, which approximates market value.
Using this method, the Fund values a security at its cost. The Fund
then assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
B. Repurchase Agreements--The Prime Series may enter into tri-party
repurchase agreements with broker-dealers and domestic banks. A
repurchase agreement is a short-term investment in which the Fund buys
a debt security that the broker agrees to repurchase at a set time and
price. The third party, which is the broker's custodial bank, holds
the collateral in a separate account until the repurchase agreement
matures. The agreement ensures that the collateral's market value,
including any accrued interest, is sufficient if the broker defaults.
The Fund's access to the collateral may be delayed or limited if the
broker defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the
broker enters into an insolvency proceeding.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
NOTE 1--concluded
C. Federal Income Taxes--The Fund determines its distributions according
to income tax regulations, which may be different from generally
accepted accounting principles. As a result, the Fund occasionally
makes reclassifications within its capital accounts to reflect income
and gains that are available for distribution under income tax
regulations.
The Fund is organized as a regulated investment company. As long
as it maintains this status and distributes to its shareholders
substantially all of its taxable net investment income and net
realized capital gains, it will be exempt from most, if not all,
federal income and excise taxes. As a result, the Fund has made no
provisions for federal income taxes. Each portfolio is treated as a
separate entity for federal income tax purposes.
D. Security Transactions, Investment Income and Distributions--The Fund
uses the trade date to account for security transactions and the
specific identification method for financial reporting and income tax
purposes to determine the gain or loss on investments sold or
redeemed. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes
the pro rata amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts when
appropriate. Dividends to shareholders are declared daily. Dividend
distributions or reinvestments are made monthly.
E. Expenses--Operating expenses for each share class are recorded on an
accrual basis, and are charged to that classes' operations. If a Fund
expense cannot be directly attributed to a share class, the expense is
prorated among the classes that the expense affects and is based on
the classes' relative net assets.
NOTE 2--Investment Advisory Fees, Transactions with Affiliates and Other Fees
Investment Company Capital Corp. ("ICC"), a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank, is
the investment advisor for all series. Under the terms of the investment
advisory agreement, the Fund pays ICC a fee. This fee is calculated daily and
paid monthly, at the following annual rates based upon the Fund's aggregate
average daily net assets: .30% of the first $500 million, .26% of the next $500
million, .25% of the next $500 million, .24% of the next $1 billion, .23% of the
next $1 billion and .22% of the amount over $3.5 billion. The Prime Series pays
an additional fee that is calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate
of .02% of its average daily net assets. The Tax-Free Series also pays an
additional fee that is calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of
.03% of its average daily net assets.
ICC also provides accounting services to the Fund. As compensation for
these services, the Prime Series, Treasury Series, and Tax-Free Series pay ICC
an annual fee that is calculated daily and paid monthly from the three series'
average daily net assets. The Prime Series paid $86,498, the Treasury Series
paid $66,614 and the Tax-Free Series paid $70,885 for accounting services for
the six months ended September 30, 1999.

NOTE 2--continued
ICC also provides transfer agency services to the Fund. As compensation for
its transfer agent services, the three series pay ICC a per account fee that is
calculated and paid monthly. The Prime Series paid $1,111,923, the Treasury
Series paid $223,260 and the Tax-Free Series paid $112,730 to ICC for transfer
agent services for the six months ended September 30, 1999.
ICC Distributors, Inc., a member of the Forum Group of Companies, ("ICC
Distributors"), provides distribution services to the Fund. As compensation for
these services, the Prime Shares, Flag Investors Class A Shares, Treasury Shares
and the Tax-Free Shares pay ICC Distributors an annual fee equal to 0.25% of
these classes' average daily net assets. For the six months ended September 30,
1999, distribution fees aggregated $4,753,449, $14,357, $915,464 and $1,306,254
for distribution services for the Prime Shares, Flag Investors Class A Shares,
Treasury Shares and Tax-Free Shares, respectively. The Quality Cash Shares and
Flag Investors Class B Shares also pay ICC Distributors an annual fee for
distribution services. This fee is equal to .60% of the Quality Cash Shares'
aggregate average daily net assets or $230,664 for the six months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1.00% of the Flag Investors Class B Shares' aggregate
average daily net assets or $17,830 for the six months ended September 30, 1999.
ICC Distributors is not related to ICC. ICC and ICC Distributors may
voluntarily waive a portion of their advisory or distribution fees for the
Prime, Treasury and Tax-Free Series to preserve or enhance each series'
performance. These voluntary waivers are not contractual and could change. ICC
did not waive any advisory fees for the six months ended September 30, 1999. ICC
Distributors voluntarily waived $114,329 of its distribution fees for the
Quality Cash Shares for the period April 1, 1998 to December 31, 1998. There was
no waiver for the period April 1, 1999 to September 30, 1999.
The Fund's complex offers a retirement plan for eligible Directors. The
actuarially computed pension expense allocated to the Fund for the six months
ended September 30, 1999 was $52,521 for the Prime Series, $16,503 for the
Treasury Series and $7,723 for the Tax-Free Series. The accrued liability at
September 30, 1999 was $290,689 for the Prime Series, $98,861 for the Treasury
Series and $96,569 for the Tax-Free Series.
ICC, an indirect subsidiary of Bankers Trust Corporation ("BT
Corp."), is the Fund's investment advisor. On June 4, 1999,
BT Corp. was acquired by Deutsche Bank AG ("Deutsche Bank"). As a
result of the transaction, ICC became an indirect subsidiary of
Deutsche Bank.

NOTE 2--concluded
On January 1, 1999 the "Fund" has adopted a Shareholder Service Plan (the
"Plan") for Prime, Treasury and Tax-Free "Shares" in order to provide
compensation to third parties ("Shareholder Servicing Agents") who provide
shareholder services to clients ("Clients") who from time to time beneficially
own shares. In consideration of services provided by any Shareholder Servicing
Agent, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual fee, calculated daily and paid
monthly equal to 0.05% of the shares' average daily net assets.
Effective January 1, 1999 the Advisor began waiving a portion of its fees
on the Treasury Series in the amount of 0.05%. Absent such fee waivers,
Management Fees would be 0.25% and Total Fund Operating Expenses would be 0.59%
on the Treasury Shares and Management Fees would be 0.25% and Total Fund
Operating Expenses would be 0.34% on the Treasury Institutional Shares based on
average daily net assets. The waiver is voluntary and may be terminated at any
time.
NOTE 3--Capital Stock and Share Information
The Fund is authorized to issue up to 9 billion shares of $.001 par value
capital stock (5.4 billion Prime Series, 1.5 billion Treasury Series, 1.75
