Notes to Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Cash Account Trust (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust currently offering three
portfolios: Money Market Portfolio, Government Securities Portfolio and
Tax-Exempt Portfolio (the "Portfolios"). Money Market Portfolio offers four
classes of shares: Institutional, Premier Money Market, Premium Reserve Money
Market and Service. Effective November 16, 1999, the Board terminated the then
existing Premier Money Market Class. The Retail shares were renamed the Premium
Reserve Money Market shares effective December 29, 1999. Effective February 23,
2000, the Board created a new class of shares, the Premier Money Market Class.
Government Securities Portfolio currently offers two classes of shares: Premier
Money Market (effective March 1, 2000) and Service. Tax-Exempt Portfolio
currently offers four classes of shares: Premier Money Market (effective March
7, 2000), Managed (effective November 17, 1999), Institutional (effective
November 17, 1999) and Service. This report contains financial statements and
financial highlights for the Premium Reserve Money Market shares of the Money
Market Portfolio.
Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain
fund-level expenses and expense reductions, if any, are borne pro rata on the
basis of relative net assets by the holders of all classes of shares except that
each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution
services, shareholder services, administrative services and certain other class
specific expenses. Differences in class expenses may result in payment of
different per share dividends by class. All shares of the Fund have equal rights
with respect to voting subject to class specific arrangements.
The Portfolio's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles which require the use of management estimates.
The policies described below are followed consistently by the Portfolio in the
preparation of their financial statements.
Security Valuation. The Portfolio values all portfolio securities utilizing the
amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act
and pursuant to which the Portfolio must adhere to certain conditions. Under
this method, which does not take into account unrealized gains or losses on
securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes
a constant accretion/amortization to maturity of any discount/premium. All other
securities are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the
Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees.
Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with
certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Portfolio, through its custodian or
sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount
of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to
be maintained
17
<PAGE>
at such a level that the market value is equal to at least the principal amount
of the repurchase price plus accrued interest.
Federal Income Taxes. The Portfolio's policy is to comply with the requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated
investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income
to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Portfolio paid no federal income taxes and
no federal income tax provision was required.
Distribution of Income and Gains. All of the net investment income of the
Portfolio is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders
monthly. Net investment income includes all realized gains (losses) on portfolio
securities.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income. Investment transactions are
accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an
identified cost basis. All premiums and original issue discounts are
amortized/accreted for both tax and financial reporting purposes.
Expenses. Expenses arising in connection with a specific portfolio are allocated
to that Portfolio. Other Fund expenses are allocated between the Portfolios in
proportion to their relative net assets.
2. Transactions with Affiliates
Management Agreement. The Fund has a management agreement with Scudder Kemper
Investments, Inc. (Scudder Kemper) and pays a monthly investment management fee

revolving credit facility for temporary or emergency purposes, including the
meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely
disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee

may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement.
