MARKET ACTIVITY

     Three major factors impacted the money markets over the annual period ended
March 31, 2000--the ongoing  extraordinary  performance of the U.S. economy, the
actions of the Federal  Reserve Board,  and the liquidity  concerns  surrounding
Y2K. These factors combined to push yields on short-term money market securities
significantly higher.

o   RAPID U.S. ECONOMIC GROWTH,  BENIGN INFLATION,  THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATE
    IN A  GENERATION,  AND A  SPECTACULAR  RUNUP IN THE U.S.  EQUITY MARKET GAVE
    CONSUMERS  THE  CONFIDENCE  NECESSARY  TO UTILIZE  THEIR  PURCHASING  POWER.
    Housing,  retail sales, and auto sales were all at historic levels.  Subdued
    wage demands,  competitive pressures,  productivity  improvements and global
    overcapacity  combined  to keep  prices  in check.  Simultaneously,  foreign
    economies around the world showed clear signs of recovery, with growth rates
    in Europe and Asia, in particular, increasing.

o   THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD RAISED SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATES FIVE TIMES DURING
    THE FUND'S  FISCAL YEAR.  The Fed argued that the pace of the economy  could
    not be  indefinitely  supported by labor force growth and  productivity  and
    thus may rekindle  inflation.  The Fed moved  interest  rates three times in
    1999--on June 30, August 24 and November  16--and twice in the first quarter
    of 2000--on  February 2 and March 21. The increases were slow and methodical
    at hikes of 0.25% each time.


                                                                               1

o MONEY MARKET  INVESTORS AND ISSUERS ALIKE BELIEVED  LIQUIDITY  WOULD BE SCARCE
  OVER YEAR-END 1999, AS ANTICIPATION OF Y2K GREW INCREASINGLY  UNCERTAIN.  Both
  corporate and asset-backed  issuers flooded the market with paper early in the
  fourth quarter of 1999, hoping to secure their year-end financing. To calm the
  markets,  the Fed  announced in October that it would  provide the market with
  several liquidity  facilities,  including a repurchase agreement facility with
  expanded  collateral  guidelines and a Standby  Financing  Facility.  The U.S.
  Treasury also issued substantial amounts of cash management bills, adding much
  needed  liquidity  to the market at year end.  As with most other  secular Y2K
  fears, the money markets' liquidity concerns also turned out to be for naught.

o TO A LESS DRAMATIC DEGREE,  THE MUNICIPAL  MARKETS FOLLOWED A SIMILAR TREND AS
  THEIR  TAXABLE  COUNTERPARTS,  WITH  YIELDS  RISING AS ONGOING  U.S.  ECONOMIC
  STRENGTH,  FED TIGHTENING AND Y2K LIQUIDITY FEARS IMPOSED PRESSURE.  The yield
  on one-year  municipal notes rose 1.10%, to 4.15% on March 31, 2000 from 3.05%
  on March  31,  1999.  With the  exception  of just a couple  of  issuers  with
  unusually  large note  offerings,  there remained a compelling  lack of supply
  through  most of the annual  period.  However,  strong  demand  for  municipal
  securities  partially  offset  some  of the  negative  pressures  causing  the
  increase in yields. The sustained national  expansion,  now entering its tenth
  year,  has  resulted  in  greater  economic  diversity,   increased  financial
  flexibility  and still  healthy  tax  coffers in many  locales.  Thus,  credit
  quality continued to improve across most tax-exempt sectors.

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.

THE YIELDS SHOWN  REPRESENT  PAST  PERFORMANCE,  WHICH IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE
RESULTS. YIELDS WILL VARY.

PRIME SERIES
     Our strategy in this Series  continued to be  concentrated  on investing in
high quality issues.  As of March 31, 2000,  77.8% of the Series was invested in
securities rated A-1+/P-1 and 22.2% in securities  rated A-1/P-1,  by Standard &
Poor's and Moody's.

     Throughout  most of 1999,  we  maintained a slightly  long to the benchmark
weighted average maturity position, taking advantage of the steep yield curve in
money  markets,  as issuers and investors  anticipated  higher  interest  rates.
Towards the end of the year, money market issuers were very aggressive,  seeking
to extend

                                                                               3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

their  maturities  into the year  2000 to avoid  potential  Y2K  problems.  This
excessive  issuance  caused both an  abnormally  steep yield curve in fixed rate
securities  and wide yield spreads on floating rate notes.  We took advantage of
both--as well as the Fed rate  increases--by  "barbelling"  the portfolio,  with
fixed  securities  and floating rate  instruments.  This  strategy  proved to be
effective  for the  portfolio.  We also  successfully  maintained  the liquidity
necessary for potential Y2K problems by purchasing Treasury bills and other very
liquid instruments during the last quarter of 1999.

     In the first quarter of 2000,  we began to utilize the expanded  guidelines
approved  by the  Fund's  Board of  Directors.  Although  we  purchased  foreign
issuers' securities, we did not change the credit quality of the Series, and all
issuers  still  must be rated in the  highest  rating  categories  by two rating
agencies,  such as Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Services. As of March
31, 2000, 67.9% of the Series was invested in U.S.  commercial  paper,  16.3% in
corporate floating rate securities,  6.8% in Euro time deposits,  4.0% in Yankee
certificates of deposit,  3.2% in Euro-dollar  certificates of deposit,  0.9% in
U.S.  certificates  of  deposit,  0.8% in U.S.  medium-term  notes,  and 0.1% in
government agency securities.

TREASURY SERIES
     Throughout most of 1999, we maintained a neutral to the benchmark  weighted
average maturity position, taking advantage of occasional higher yields incurred
in  the  short-term  Treasury  markets  resulting  from  the  issuance  of  cash
management  bills.  This strategy  proved to be effective for the portfolio.  We
also successfully  maintained the liquidity necessary for potential Y2K problems
by  purchasing  cash  management  bills,  which  proved  to be the  most  liquid
instrument.

     The first quarter of 2000 brought some unexpected changes to the government
market.  The  Federal  agencies, including  Fannie Mae,  Freddie  Mac and  FHLB,
announced  their  decision  to  standardize  their  discount  note  issuance  by
auctioning  their notes  weekly,  similar to the way Treasury  bills are issued.
These  agencies  feel that this  action may be a viable  alternative  to smaller
Treasury  issuance  in the  future  and  that  many  investors  could  alternate
purchases  between  different  government  securities.  With  these  traditional
Treasury buyers participating in the agency market, this gave us more supply and
better yields from which to choose, in turn,  helping to boost the yield of this
Series.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (CONTINUED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     During the early  months of 2000,  we began to manage  this  Series  with a
shorter  duration than in 1999,  since we feel that more interest rate increases
will be forthcoming  from the Federal  Reserve  Board.  At the end of the annual
period, approximately 96.6% of the portfolio was invested in short-term Treasury
bills and 3.4% in short-term Treasury notes.

TAX-FREE SERIES
     Throughout most of 1999, we maintained a neutral to slightly short weighted
average  maturity  in this  Series,  as the Fed moved into an active  tightening
mode.  Each time the Fed hiked  rates,  we either took  advantage  of the buying
opportunities  it created or we sought  shorter-maturity  paper, as the one-year
note index rose rather  dramatically.  We also  adjusted  the  Series'  relative
maturity  position  in  anticipation  of  seasonal  cash flow and  supply/demand
phenomena.

     For example,  in April,  the short end of the municipal  money market curve
became very attractive  based on outflows  associated  with tax season.  We were
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 portfolio
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.  In July,  large  seasonal  cash  inflows,  due to principal and
interest payments,  increased demand for money market eligible paper, but supply
continued  to  decrease,  putting  pressures  on variable  rate demand notes and
resulting  in a 0.30% drop in yields.  By month end, we  shortened  our 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. Due to our shortening strategy in July, we were
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.  In  September,  we  increased  our position in  commercial  paper to take
advantage of their  attractive  yields versus variable rate demand notes, and we
kept the portfolio's  weighted average maturity  relatively  neutral  throughout
September and October in anticipation of the Fed's November rate hike.

                                                                               5
<PAGE>

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (CONTINUED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     In November,  we increased the Series' position in 90-day commercial paper,
which offered good value with rates competitive with those of one-year paper, as
issuers sought to end their maturities into the year 2000 to avoid potential Y2K
problems.  In December,  we increased  our daily demand note  position for extra
liquidity in  anticipation  of potential  Y2K cash  outflows.  These  strategies
effectively  enabled us to stay within a neutral to short maturity range through
the first  quarter of 2000,  while the Fed was still in a tightening  mode,  and
still lock in competitive yields.

     At the end of the  annual  period,  62.4% of the  Series  was  invested  in
municipal variable rate demand notes, 18.2% in municipal  commercial paper, 8.9%
in municipal notes, 8.1% in municipal bonds, and 2.4% in municipal put bonds. It
is also well worth noting that while supply of tax-free  securities remained low
over  the  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 18 straight  quarters,  as of March 31, 2000. The Tax-Free
Series' net assets grew more than 57% over the Fund's fiscal year, well ahead of
its peer group.

LOOKING AHEAD
     We now know that the concerns and fears  surrounding Y2K turned out to be a
non-event.  The world at large and the financial markets in particular continued
to hum along without  interruption.  Looking ahead for the near term, we believe
the U.S. economy still has substantial momentum,  and the financial fundamentals
for both  households  and businesses  remain strong.  Thus, we also feel that it
will take somewhat  higher  interest rates to tone down the economy.  We believe
that more 0.25% incremental  increases in rates are forthcoming from the Federal
Reserve Board over the next few months before it pauses to assess the results of
these tightenings on economic growth.

     For the Prime  Series,  then,  our  strategy  going  forward is to continue
managing the  portfolio  with a shorter  duration  than we did in 1999.  We also
intend to maintain a significant  position in floating  rate  securities to take
advantage  not only of any further  increases in interest  rates but also of the
higher yields offered by these types of securities.  In the Treasury Series,  we
also intend to continue  managing the portfolio with a shorter  duration than in
1999 to be well positioned for any further Fed rate increases.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (CONCLUDED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     In the  Tax-Free  Series,  too,  we intend to  maintain  a neutral to short
weighted average maturity. We also intend to increase our variable rate holdings
for liquidity in the near term to offset possible  cash-flow  reversals that may
occur as tax time approaches in April.  Overall credit quality in the tax-exempt
market is expected to continue to remain high as the year  progresses.  However,
higher  interest  rates may  temper  further  improvement  in  municipal  credit
quality,  as the economy slows and borrowing costs rise.  Thus, we will continue
to focus on the highest  quality  investments  while still  seeking  competitive
yields.  In fact, in each of our Series,  we seek to continue to concentrate the
portfolios in very high quality credits and maintain our conservative investment
strategies and standards for the foreseeable future.

     We continue to believe that the conservative approach we apply to investing
on behalf of the Fund's  Series will  provide  comfort,  as well as  competitive
yields, to our shareholders.

     As always, we appreciate your continued support.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 six  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"),  Flag  Investors  Cash Reserve  Prime Shares Class C ("Flag  Investors
Class C 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. These financial statements present the Prime Series, the
Treasury and the Tax-Free Series.

     When preparing the Fund's financial statements,  management makes estimates
and assumptions to comply with accounting  principles  generally accepted in the
United States.  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 initially values a security at its purchased cost. The
        Fund then values the  investment  at amortized  cost assuming 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.

                                                                              63

NOTE 1--CONCLUDED

     C. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--The Fund determines its distributions according to
        income  tax   regulations,   which  may  be  different  from  accounting
        principles  generally  accepted in the United States.  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
        amortization  of premiums  and  accretion  of  discounts.  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.  ("ICCC"),  a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank
AG, is the investment advisor for all series.  Under the terms of the investment
advisory  agreement,  the Fund pays ICCC 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 pays an additional
fee that is calculated  daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of .03% of its
average daily net assets.

     ICCC also provides  accounting  services to the Fund. As  compensation  for
these services, the Prime Series,  Treasury Series, and Tax-Free Series pay ICCC
an annual fee that is  calculated  daily and paid monthly from the three series'
average daily net assets.  The Prime Series paid $176,115,  the Treasury  Series
paid $131,657 and the Tax-Free Series paid $142,872 for accounting  services for
the year ended March 31, 2000.

NOTE 2--CONTINUED

     ICCC also provides  transfer  agency  services to the Fund. As compensation
for its  transfer  agent  services,  the three series pay ICCC a per account fee
that is  calculated  and paid  monthly.  The Prime Series paid  $2,607,854,  the
Treasury  Series paid $468,302 and the Tax-Free Series paid $236,460 to ICCC for
transfer agent services for the year ended March 31, 2000.

     ICC  Distributors,   Inc.,  ("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  year  ended  March  31,  2000,  distribution  fees  aggregated
$10,408,188,  $37,421,  $1,798,100 and $2,877,907 for distribution  services for
the Prime Shares,  Flag Investors  Class A Shares,  Treasury Shares and Tax-Free
Shares, respectively. The Quality Cash Shares, Flag Investors Class B Shares and
Flag  Investors  Class C Shares  also pay ICC  Distributors  an  annual  fee for
distribution  services.  This fee is equal to 0.60% of the Quality  Cash Shares'
aggregate  average  daily net assets or  $456,848  for the year ended  March 31,
2000,  and  1.00%  (includes  a 0.25%  shareholder  servicing  fee) of the  Flag
Investors  Class B and Class C Shares'  aggregate  average  daily net  assets or
$35,959 and a non-meaningful amount, respectively,  for the year ended March 31,
2000.

     ICC Distributors is not affiliated with ICCC. ICCC 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  contractual.  ICCC did not waive any
advisory  fees for the Prime or  Tax-Free  Series for the year  ended  March 31,
2000. 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 from January 1, 1999 thru March 31, 2000.

     The  Advisor  waives 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  0.66% on the  Treasury  Shares  and
Management Fees would be 0.25% and Total Fund Operating  Expenses would be 0.28%
on the  Treasury  Institutional  Shares based on average  daily net assets.  The
waiver is contractual and will continue until July 31, 2000 and may be extended.

     Effective January 1, 1999, the Fund has adopted a Shareholder  Service Plan
(the "Plan") for the Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown Cash Reserve Shares of the Prime,
Treasury  and  Tax-Free  Series  of the Fund  ("Shares")  in  order  to  provide
compensation to third parties who provide shareholder  services to clients,  who
from time to time  beneficially  own shares.  In consideration of these services
provided by any Shareholder  Servicing  Agent, the Fund will pay the Distributor
an annual fee, calculated daily and paid monthly,  equal to 0.05% of the shares'
average daily net assets.

                                                                              65

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the Board of Directors of Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown Cash Reserve Fund, Inc.
and Shareholders of the Prime, Treasury and Tax-Free Series:

     In our opinion,  the accompanying  statements of net assets 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
the  Prime,Treasury  andTax-Free  Series (the three Portfolios  constituting the
Deutsche  Banc Alex.  Brown Cash  ReserveShares,  hereafter  referred  to as the
"Funds") at March 31,  2000,  and the results of each of their  operations,  the
changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the
fiscal periods  presented,  in conformity with accounting  principles  generally
accepted  in  the  United  States.  These  financial  statements  and  financial
highlights   (hereafter   referred  to  as  "financial   statements")   are  the
responsibility  of the Funds'  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  auditing  standards
generally accepted in the United States,  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 at March 31,
2000 by  correspondence  with the  custodian  and brokers,  provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

                                 TREASURY SERIES
                               ------------------
One hundred  percent of the  dividends  paid by the Treasury  Series of Deutsche
Banc Alex.  Brown Cash  Reserve  Shares for the year ended  March 31,  2000 were
derived from interest on investments in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury.

federal  obligations  to be exempt from state income tax. We recommend  that you
consult  your tax  advisor to  determine  if any  portion of the  dividends  you
received are exempt from state income tax.
