A message from Scudder's chairman
Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc., investment adviser to the Scudder Family of
Funds, was founded in 1919. We offered America's first no-load mutual fund in
1928. Today, we manage in excess of $90 billion for many private accounts and
over 50 mutual fund portfolios. We manage the mutual funds in a special program
for the American Association of Retired Persons, as well as the fund options
available through Scudder Horizon Plan, a tax-advantaged variable annuity. We
also advise The Japan Fund and nine closed-end funds that invest in countries
around the world.
The Scudder Family of Funds is designed to make investing easy and less costly.
It includes money market, tax free, income and growth funds as well as IRAs,
401(k)s, Keoghs and other retirement plans.
Services available to all shareholders include toll-free access to the
professional service representatives of Scudder Investor Relations, easy
exchange among funds, shareholder reports, informative newsletters and the
walk-in convenience of Scudder Funds Centers.
All Scudder mutual funds are pure no-load(TM). This means you pay no commissions
to purchase or redeem your shares or to exchange from one fund to another. There
are no "12b-1" fees either, which many other funds now charge to support their
marketing efforts. All of your investment goes to work for you. We look forward
to welcoming you as a shareholder.

Investment objectives and policies
Investment objectives
The investment objectives of Scudder Cash Investment Trust (the "Fund"), a
diversified, open-end management investment company, are to maintain the
stability of capital and, consistent therewith, to maintain the liquidity of
capital and to provide current income. The Fund seeks to maintain a constant net
asset value of $1.00 per share and declares dividends daily.
Except as otherwise indicated, the Fund's investment objectives and policies are
not fundamental and may be changed without a vote of shareholders. Shareholders
will receive written notice of any changes in the Fund's objectives. If there is
a change in investment objectives, shareholders should consider whether the Fund
remains an appropriate investment in light of their then current financial
position and needs. There can be no assurance that the Fund's objectives will be
met.
Investments
The Fund purchases U.S. dollar-denominated securities with remaining maturities
of 397 calendar days or less, except in the case of U.S. Government securities
which may have remaining maturities of 762 calendar days or less. The
dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund's portfolio will vary with money
market conditions, but is always 90 days or less. All securities in the Fund's
portfolio must meet credit quality standards pursuant to procedures established
by the Trustees. Generally, the Fund may purchase only securities which are
rated, or issued by a company with comparable securities rated, within the two
highest quality rating categories of one or more of the following rating
agencies: Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), Standard & Poor's ("S&P")
and Fitch Investors Service, Inc. ("Fitch"). If a security is unrated, the Fund
may purchase the security if, in the opinion of the Fund's investment adviser,
Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc. (the "Adviser"), the credit quality of the
security is deemed equivalent to the rated securities mentioned above.
The Fund may invest in short-term securities consisting of: obligations issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities;
obligations of supranational organizations such as the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank); obligations of domestic banks
and foreign branches of domestic banks, including bankers' acceptances,
certificates of deposit, deposit notes and time deposits; and obligations of
savings and loan institutions.
The Fund may also invest in: instruments whose credit has been enhanced by banks
(letters of credit), insurance companies (surety bonds) or other corporate
entities (corporate guarantees); corporate obligations, including commercial
paper, notes, bonds, loans and loan participations; securities with variable or
floating interest rates; asset-backed securities, including certificates,
participations and notes; and municipal securities, including notes, bonds and
participation interests, either taxable or tax free.
In addition, the Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and securities with
put features.
Each of the above referenced eligible investments and investment practices have
certain risks associated with them. For a more complete description, please
refer to the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

Why invest in the Fund?
The Fund can be appropriate for investors who are concerned about stability of
principal. If investors are just starting out and want their assets to grow in a
stable investment, if they want to keep their nest egg safe and handy, or if
they are simply looking to "park" their investment capital for a short time, a
money market fund may be a good choice.
One appealing characteristic of a money market fund is that it seeks to maintain
a stable share price. Thus, not only should investors have the value of their
initial investment maintained, they ordinarily will have earnings on that
investment, plus earnings on those earnings, if dividends are reinvested.
In general, the level of income from a money market fund is affected by the
quality of the Fund's investments. The Fund invests in a broad range of money
market securities which are of high quality.
Another important feature of the Fund is daily liquidity. Investors can gain
access to their cash by toll-free telephone redemption or with our convenient
check writing option. Shareholders may write checks of at least $100.
In addition, the Fund offers all the benefits of the Scudder Family of Funds.
Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc. manages a diverse family of pure no-load(TM)
funds and provides a wide range of services to help investors meet their
investment needs. Please refer to "Investment products and services" for
additional information.
Additional information about policies and investments
Investment restrictions
The Fund has adopted certain fundamental policies which may not be changed
without a vote of shareholders and which are designed to reduce the Fund's
investment risk. The Fund may not borrow money except as a temporary measure for
extraordinary or emergency purposes and may not make loans except through the
lending of portfolio securities, the purchase of debt obligations or through
repurchase agreements.
In addition, as a matter of nonfundamental policy, the Fund may not invest more
than 10% of its net assets, in the aggregate, in securities which are not
readily marketable, restricted securities and repurchase agreements maturing in
more than seven days. The Fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets
in restricted securities.
With certain limited exceptions, the Fund may not invest more than 5% of its
total assets in the securities of a single issuer, or subject to puts from any
one issuer, except U.S. Government securities, and may not invest more than 10%
of its total assets in securities subject to unconditional puts by a single
issuer. A complete description of these and other policies and restrictions is
contained under "Investment Restrictions" in the Fund's Statement of Additional
Information.
The high quality securities in which the Fund invests are divided into "first
tier" and "second tier" securities. First tier securities are those securities
generally rated in the highest category by at least two rating agencies (or one,
if only one rating agency has rated the security). Securities which are
generally rated in the two highest categories by at least two rating agencies
(or one, if only one rating agency has rated the security) and which do not
qualify as first tier securities are second tier securities. The Adviser may
determine, pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees, that an unrated
security is equivalent to a first tier or second tier security. The Fund will
not invest more than 5% of its total assets in second tier securities or more
than 1% of its total assets in second tier securities of a single issuer.
6
<PAGE>
Repurchase agreements
As a means of earning income for periods as short as overnight, the Fund may
enter into repurchase agreements with selected banks and broker/dealers. Under a
repurchase agreement, the Fund acquires securities, subject to the seller's
agreement to repurchase those securities at a specified time and price. If the
seller under a repurchase agreement becomes insolvent, the Fund's right to
dispose of the securities might be restricted. In the event of the commencement
of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of the sellers of the securities before
repurchase of the securities under a repurchase agreement, the Fund may
encounter delay and incur costs before being able to sell the securities. Also,
if a seller defaults, the value of such securities may decline before the Fund
is able to dispose of them.
Distribution and performance information
Dividends and capital gains distributions
Dividends are declared daily and distributed monthly to shareholders. The Fund
may take into account capital gains and losses (other than long-term capital
gains) in its daily dividend declaration. The Fund may make additional
distributions for tax purposes, if necessary. Any dividends or capital gains
distributions declared in October, November or December with a record date in
such a month and paid during the following January will be treated by
shareholders for federal income tax purposes as if received on December 31 of
the calendar year declared. According to preference, shareholders may receive
distributions in cash or have them reinvested in additional shares of the Fund.
If an investment is in the form of a retirement plan, all dividends and capital
gains distributions must be reinvested into the shareholder's account.
Dividends from net investment income are taxable to shareholders as ordinary
income whether received in cash or additional shares.
Long-term capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable as long-term capital
gains regardless of the length of time shareholders have owned their shares.
Short-term capital gains and any other taxable income distribution are taxable
as ordinary income. It is not expected that dividends will qualify for the
dividends-received deduction for corporations.
The Fund sends detailed tax information to shareholders about the amount and
type of its distributions by January 31 of the following year.
Performance information
From time to time, quotations of the Fund's performance may be included in
advertisements, sales literature or shareholder reports. All performance figures
are historical, show the performance of a hypothetical investment and are not
intended to indicate future performance. The "yield" of the Fund refers to
income generated by an investment in the Fund over a specified seven-day period.
Yield is expressed as an annualized percentage. The "effective yield" of the
Fund is expressed similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an
investment in the Fund is assumed to be reinvested and will reflect the effects
of compounding. "Total return" is the change in value of an investment in the
Fund for a specified period. The "average annual total return" of the Fund is
the average annual compound rate of return of an investment in the Fund assuming
the investment has been held for one year, five years and ten years as of a
stated ending date. "Cumulative total return" represents the cumulative change
in value of an investment in the Fund for various periods. Total return
calculations assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions during
the period were reinvested in shares of the Fund. Performance will vary based
upon, among other things, changes in market conditions and the level of the
Fund's expenses.

Fund organization
Scudder Cash Investment Trust is a diversified, open-end management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").
The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust in December 1975.
The Fund's activities are supervised by its Board of Trustees. Shareholders have
one vote for each share held on matters on which they are entitled to vote. The
Fund is not required to and has no current intention of holding annual
shareholder meetings, although special meetings may be called for purposes such
as electing or removing Trustees, changing fundamental investment policies or
approving an investment advisory contract. Shareholders will be assisted in
communicating with other shareholders in connection with removing a Trustee as
if Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act were applicable.
Investment adviser
The Fund retains the investment management firm of Scudder, Stevens & Clark,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, to manage the Fund's daily investment and business
affairs subject to the policies established by the Board of Trustees. The
Trustees have overall responsibility for the management of the Fund under
Massachusetts law.
The Adviser received an investment advisory fee for its services which totaled
0.41% of the Fund's average daily net assets during the fiscal year ended June
30, 1995. The fee is graduated so that increases in the Fund's net assets may
result in a lower average fee rate and decreases in the Fund's net assets may
result in a higher average fee rate.
All of the Fund's expenses are paid out of gross investment income. Shareholders
pay no direct charges or fees for investment or administrative services.
Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc., is located at Two International Place, Boston,
Massachusetts.
Transfer agent
Scudder Service Corporation, P.O. Box 2291, Boston, Massachusetts 02107-2291, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the transfer, shareholder servicing
and dividend-paying agent for the Fund.
Underwriter
Scudder Investor Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is
the Fund's principal underwriter. Scudder Investor Services, Inc. confirms, as
agent, all purchases of shares of the Fund. Scudder Investor Relations is a
telephone information service provided by Scudder Investor Services, Inc.
Custodian
State Street Bank and Trust Company is the Fund's custodian.
Fund accounting agent
Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser,
is responsible for determining the daily net asset value per share and
maintaining the general accounting records of the Fund.
Transaction information
Purchasing shares
Purchases are executed at the next calculated net asset value per share after
the Fund's transfer agent in Boston receives the purchase request in good order.
Purchases are made in full and fractional shares. (See "Share price.")
By check. If you purchase shares with a check that does not clear, your purchase
will be canceled and you will be subject to any losses or fees incurred in the
transaction. Checks must be drawn on or payable through a U.S. bank. If you
purchase shares by check and redeem them within seven business days of purchase,
the Fund may hold redemption proceeds until the purchase check has cleared. If
8
<PAGE>
you purchase shares by federal funds wire, you may avoid this delay. Redemption
or exchange requests by telephone or by "Write-A-Check" prior to the expiration
of the seven-day period will not be accepted.
By wire. To open a new account by wire, first call Scudder at 1-800-225-5163 to
obtain an account number. A representative will instruct you to send a
completed, signed application to the transfer agent in Boston. Accounts cannot
be opened without a completed, signed application and a Scudder fund account
number. Contact your bank to arrange a wire transfer to:
The Scudder Funds
State Street Bank and Trust Company
Boston, MA 02101
ABA Number 011000028
DDA Account 9903-5552
Your wire instructions must also include:
- -- the name of the fund in which the money is to be invested,
- -- the account number of the fund, and
- -- the name(s) of the account holder(s).
The account will be established once the application and money order are
received in good order.
You may also make additional investments of $100 or more to your existing
account by wire.
By exchange. Your new account will have the same registration and address as
your existing account.
The exchange requirements for corporations, other organizations, trusts,
fiduciaries, agents, institutional investors and retirement plans may be
different from those for regular accounts. Please call 1-800-225-5163 for more
information, including information about the transfer of special account
features.
You can also make exchanges among your Scudder fund accounts on SAIL, the
Scudder Automated Information Line, by calling 1-800-343-2890.
Redeeming shares
The Fund allows you to redeem shares (i.e., sell them back to the Fund) without
redemption fees.
By telephone. This is the quickest and easiest way to sell Fund shares. If you
elected telephone redemption to your bank on your application, you can call to
request that federal funds be sent to your authorized bank account. If you did
not elect telephone redemption to your bank on your application, call
1-800-225-5163 for more information.
Redemption proceeds will be wired to your bank unless otherwise requested. If
your bank cannot receive federal reserve wires, redemption proceeds will be
mailed to your bank. There will be a $5 charge for all wire redemptions.
You can also make redemptions from your Scudder fund account on SAIL by calling
1-800-343-2890.
If you open an account by wire, you cannot redeem shares by telephone until the
Fund's transfer agent has received your completed and signed application.
Telephone redemption is not available for shares held in Scudder IRA accounts
and most other Scudder retirement plan accounts.
In the event that you are unable to reach the Fund by telephone, you should
write to the Fund; see "How to contact Scudder" for the address.
Signature guarantees. For your protection and to prevent fraudulent redemptions,
on written redemption requests in excess of $50,000 we require an original
signature and an original signature guarantee for each person in whose name the
account is registered. (The Fund reserves the right, however, to require a
signature guarantee for all redemptions.) You can obtain a signature guarantee
from most banks, credit unions or savings associations, or from broker/dealers,
municipal securities broker/dealers, government securities

broker/dealers, national securities exchanges, registered securities
associations or clearing agencies deemed eligible by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Signature guarantees by notaries public are not acceptable.
Redemption requirements for corporations, other organizations, trusts,
fiduciaries, agents, institutional investors and retirement plans may be

1-800-225-5163.
By "Write-A-Check." You may redeem shares by writing checks against your account
balance for at least $100. Your Fund investments will continue to earn dividends
until your check is presented to the Fund for payment.
Checks will be returned by the Fund's transfer agent if there are insufficient
shares to meet the withdrawal amount. You should not attempt to close an account
by check because the exact balance at the time the check clears will not be
known when the check is written.
Telephone transactions
Shareholders automatically receive the ability to exchange by telephone and the
right to redeem by telephone up to $50,000 to their address of record.
Shareholders also may, by telephone, request that redemption proceeds be sent to
a predesignated bank account. The Fund uses procedures designed to give
reasonable assurance that telephone instructions are genuine, including
recording telephone calls, testing a caller's identity and sending written
confirmation of telephone transactions. If the Fund does not follow such
procedures, it may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent
telephone instructions. The Fund will not be liable for acting upon instructions
communicated by telephone that it reasonably believes to be genuine.
Share price
Purchases and redemptions, including exchanges, are made at net asset value.
Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation determines net asset value per share as of
twelve o'clock noon and as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock
Exchange (the "Exchange"), normally 4 p.m. eastern time, on each day the
Exchange is open for trading. Net asset value per share is calculated by
dividing the value of total Fund assets, less all liabilities, by the total
number of shares outstanding. In calculating the net asset value per share, the
Fund uses the current market value of the securities. However, for securities
with sixty days or less to maturity, the Fund uses the amortized cost value.
Processing time
Purchases made by wire and received by the Fund's transfer agent before noon on
any business day are executed at noon on that day and begin earning income the
same day. Those made by wire between noon and the close of regular trading on
the Exchange on any business day are executed at the close of trading the same
day and begin earning income the next business day. Purchases made by check are
executed on the day the check is received in good order by the Fund's transfer
agent in Boston and begin earning income on the next business day. Redemption
requests received in good order by the Fund's transfer agent between noon and
the close of regular trading on the Exchange are executed at the net asset value
calculated at the close of regular trading on that day and will earn a dividend
on the redeemed shares that day. If a redemption request is received by noon,
proceeds will normally be wired that day, if requested by the shareholder, but
no dividend will be earned on the redeemed shares on that day.
If you wish to make a purchase of $500,000 or more, you should notify Scudder
Investor Relations by calling 1-800-225-5163.
The Fund will normally send redemption proceeds within one business day
12
<PAGE>
following the redemption request, but may take up to seven business days (or
longer in the case of shares recently purchased by check).
Tax identification number
Be sure to complete the Tax Identification Number section of the Fund's
application when you open an account. Federal tax law requires the Fund to
withhold 31% of taxable dividends and capital gains distributions from accounts
(other than those of certain exempt payees) without a certified Social Security
or tax identification number and certain other certified information or upon
notification from the IRS or a broker that withholding is required. The Fund
reserves the right to reject new account applications without a certified Social
Security or tax identification number. The Fund also reserves the right,
following 30 days' notice, to redeem all shares in accounts without a certified
Social Security or tax identification number. A shareholder may avoid
involuntary redemption by providing the Fund with a tax identification number
during the 30-day notice period.
Minimum balances
Shareholders should maintain a share balance worth at least $1,000, which amount
may be changed by the Board of Trustees. Scudder retirement plans have similar
or lower minimum share balance requirements. The Fund reserves the right,
following 60 days' written notice to shareholders, to redeem all shares in
sub-minimum accounts, including accounts of new investors, where a reduction in
value has occurred due to a redemption or exchange out of the account.
Reductions in value that result solely from market activity will not trigger an
involuntary redemption. The Fund will mail the proceeds of the redeemed account
to the shareholder. The shareholder may restore the share balance to $1,000 or
more during the 60-day notice period and must maintain it at no lower than that
minimum to avoid involuntary redemption.
Third party transactions
If purchases and redemptions of Fund shares are arranged and settlement is made
at an investor's election through a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., other than Scudder Investor Services, Inc., that
member may, at its discretion, charge a fee for that service.

of economists, research analysts, traders, and other investment specialists who
work in Scudder's offices across the United States and abroad. Scudder believes
its team approach benefits Fund investors by bringing together many disciplines
and leveraging Scudder's extensive resources.

day-to-day management in 1995. Mr. Akers joined the Fund's team in 1994 and has
managed several fixed-income portfolios since joining Scudder in 1984. Robert T.

Scudder tax-advantaged retirement plans
Scudder offers a variety of tax-advantaged retirement plans for individuals,
businesses and non-profit organizations. These flexible plans are designed for
use with the Scudder Family of Funds (except Scudder tax-free funds, which are
inappropriate for such plans). Scudder Funds offer a broad range of investment
objectives and can be used to seek almost any investment goal. Using Scudder's
retirement plans can help shareholders save on current taxes while building
their retirement savings.
* Scudder No-Fee IRAs. These retirement plans allow a maximum annual
contribution of $2,000 per person for anyone with earned income. Many
people can deduct all or part of their contributions from their taxable
income, and all investment earnings accrue on a tax deferred basis. The
Scudder No-Fee IRA charges no annual custodial fee.
* 401(k) Plans. 401(k) plans allow employers and employees to make
tax-deductible retirement contributions. Scudder offers a full service
program that includes recordkeeping, prototype plan, employee
communications and trustee services, as well as investment options.
* Profit Sharing and Money Purchase Pension Plans. These plans allow
corporations, partnerships and people who are self-employed to make annual,
tax-deductible contributions of up to $30,000 for each person covered by
the plans. Plans may be adopted individually or paired to maximize
contributions. These are sometimes known as Keogh plans.
* 403(b) Plans. Retirement plans for tax-exempt organizations and school
systems to which employers and employees may both contribute.
* SEP-IRAs. Easily administered retirement plans for small businesses and
self-employed individuals. The maximum annual contribution to SEP-IRA
accounts is adjusted each year for inflation.
* Scudder Horizon Plan. A no-load variable annuity that lets you build assets
by deferring taxes on your investment earnings. You can start with $2,500
or more.
Scudder Trust Company (an affiliate of the Adviser) is Trustee or Custodian for
some of these plans and is paid an annual fee for some of the above retirement
plans. For information about establishing a Scudder No-Fee IRA, SEP-IRA, Profit
Sharing Plan, Money Purchase Pension Plan or a Scudder Horizon Plan, please call
1-800-225-2470. For information about 401(k)s or 403(b)s please call
1-800-323-6105. To effect transactions in existing IRA, SEP-IRA, Profit Sharing
or Pension Plan accounts, call 1-800-225-5163.

1802]). The contract is offered by Scudder Insurance Agency, Inc. (in New
York State, Nevada and Montana, Scudder Insurance Agency of New York,

THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
(See "Investment objectives and policies" and
"Additional information about policies and
investments" in each Fund's prospectus.)
Scudder Cash Investment Trust sometimes is referred to herein as
"SCIT." Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund sometimes is referred to herein as
"Treasury Fund." SCIT and Treasury Fund sometimes are jointly referred to herein
as the "Funds" or "Scudder Money Market Funds."
General Investment Objectives and Policies of Scudder Cash Investment Trust
Scudder Cash Investment Trust is a pure no-load(TM), open-end,
diversified management investment company. SCIT's investment objectives are to
maintain the stability of capital and, consistent therewith, to maintain the
liquidity of capital and to provide current income. SCIT seeks to maintain a
constant net asset value of $1.00 per share, although in certain circumstances
this may not be possible. SCIT's management seeks to improve investment income
by keeping money at work in what it considers to be the most attractive
short-term debt investments consistent with the objectives of maintaining the
stability and liquidity of capital. There is no assurance that SCIT's investment
objectives will be achieved. The investment objectives and policies of SCIT
stated under this caption may be changed by the Trustees without a vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, as that term is
defined below in "Investment Restrictions." All of the securities in which SCIT
may invest are U.S. dollar-denominated. Shares of the Fund are not insured or
guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government.
SCIT may invest in short-term obligations issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities; obligations of supranational
organizations such as those listed below; obligations of domestic banks and
foreign branches of domestic banks, including bankers' acceptances, certificates
of deposit, deposit notes and time deposits; and obligations of savings and loan
institutions.
SCIT may also invest in: instruments whose credit has been enhanced by
banks (letters of credit), insurance companies (surety bonds) or other corporate
entities (corporate guarantees); corporate obligations and obligations of
trusts, finance companies and other entities, including commercial paper, notes,
bonds, loans and loan participations; securities with variable or floating
interest rates; asset-backed securities, including certificates, participations
and notes; and municipal securities, including notes, bonds and participation
interests, either taxable or tax free. Securities and instruments in which the
Fund may invest may be issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies and
instrumentalities, corporations, trusts, banks, finance companies and other
business entities.
In addition, SCIT may invest in repurchase agreements and securities
with put features. Obligations which are subject to repurchase agreements will
be limited to those of the type and quality described below. The Fund may also
hold cash.
Investments in corporate and finance company commercial paper and other
corporate obligations will be limited to securities which, in the opinion of
Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc. (the "Adviser"), are of high quality and present
minimal credit risk. Commercial paper and finance company paper, at the time of
purchase, will be rated or judged by the Adviser to be the equivalent of paper
rated A-1 by Standard & Poors ("S&P"), Prime-1 by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc. ("Moody's") or F-1 by Fitch Investors Service, Inc. ("Fitch"). (See
Appendix A for a more complete description of commercial paper ratings.)
Investments in other corporate obligations such as bonds and notes will be
limited to issues rated or judged by the Adviser to be the equivalent of
securities rated A-1 by S&P, Prime-1 by Moody's or F-1 by Fitch.
Investments in municipal securities will be limited to those which are
rated at the time of purchase by Moody's within its two highest rating
categories for municipal obligations--Aaa and Aa, or within Moody's short-term
municipal obligations top rating categories of MIG 1 and MIG 2, are rated at the
time of purchase by S&P within S&P's two highest rating categories for municipal
obligations--AAA/AA and SP-1+/SP-1--or are rated at the time of purchase by
Fitch within Fitch's two highest rating categories for municipal
obligations-AAA/AA or within Fitch's highest short term rating categories of F-1
and F-2, all in such proportions as management will determine. SCIT also may
invest in securities rated within the two highest rating categories by only one
<PAGE>
of those rating agencies if no other rating agency has rated the security. In
some cases, short-term municipal obligations are rated using the same categories
as are used for corporate obligations. In addition, unrated municipal securities
will be considered as being within the foregoing quality ratings if the issuer,
or other equal or junior municipal securities of the same issuer, has a rating
within the foregoing ratings of Moody's, S&P or Fitch. SCIT may also invest in
municipal securities which are unrated if, in the opinion of the Adviser, such
securities possess creditworthiness comparable to those rated securities in
which the Fund may invest.
Foreign Securities. Supranational entities are international
organizations designated or supported by governmental entities to promote
economic reconstruction or development and international banking institutions
and related government agencies. Examples include the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank), the European Coal and Steel
Community, The Asian Development Bank and the InterAmerican Development Bank.
Obligations of supranational entities are backed by the guarantee of one or more
foreign governmental parties which sponsor the entity.
Municipal Securities. Municipal Securities are issued by or on behalf
of states, territories and possessions of the U.S. and their political
subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities to obtain funds for various public
purposes. The interest on these obligations is generally exempt from federal
income tax in the hands of most investors, except for the possible applicability
of the alternative minimum tax. The two principal classifications of municipal
securities are "Notes" and "Bonds." Municipal Notes are generally used to
provide for short-term capital needs and generally have maturities of one year
or less. Municipal Notes include: Tax Anticipation Notes; Revenue Anticipation
Notes; Bond Anticipation Notes; and Construction Loan Notes. Municipal Bonds,
which meet longer term capital needs and generally have maturities of more than
one year when issued, have two principal classifications: "General Obligation"
Bonds and "Revenue" Bonds.
Industrial Development and Pollution Control Bonds (which are types of
private activity bonds), although nominally issued by municipal authorities, are
generally not secured by the taxing power of the municipality but are secured by
the revenues of the authority derived from payments by the industrial user.
Under Federal tax legislation, certain types of Industrial Development Bonds and
Pollution Control Bonds may no longer be issued on a tax-exempt basis, although
previously-issued bonds of these types and certain refundings of such bonds are
not affected.
Bank and Savings and Loan Obligations. These obligations include
negotiable certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, deposit notes, fixed
time deposits or other short-term bank obligations. Certificates of deposit are
negotiable certificates evidencing the obligations of a bank to repay funds
deposited with it for a specified period of time. SCIT may invest in
certificates of deposit of large domestic banks (i.e., banks which at the time
of their most recent annual financial statements show total assets in excess of
$1 billion), and of smaller banks as described below. The Fund does not invest
in certificates of deposit of foreign banks. Although the Fund recognizes that
the size of a bank is important, this fact alone is not necessarily indicative
of its creditworthiness. Investment in certificates of deposit issued by foreign
branches of domestic banks involves investment risks that are different in some
respects from those associated with investment in certificates of deposit issued
by domestic branches of domestic banks, including the possible imposition of
withholding taxes on interest income, the possible adoption of foreign
governmental restrictions which might adversely affect the payment of principal
and interest on such certificates of deposit, or other adverse political or
economic developments. In addition, it might be more difficult to obtain and
enforce a judgment against a foreign branch of a domestic bank.
SCIT may also invest in certificates of deposit issued by banks and
savings and loan institutions which had, at the time of their most recent annual
financial statements, total assets of less than $1 billion, provided that (i)
the principal amounts of such certificates of deposit are insured by an agency
of the U.S. Government, (ii) at no time will the Fund hold more than $100,000
principal amount of certificates of deposit of any one such bank, and (iii) at
the time of acquisition, no more than 10% of the Fund's assets (taken at current
value) are invested in certificates of deposit of such banks having total assets
not in excess of $1 billion.
Banker's acceptances are credit instruments evidencing the obligations
of a bank to pay a draft drawn on it by a customer. These instruments reflect
the obligation both of the bank and of the drawer to pay the face amount of the
instrument upon maturity.
Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits maintained in a banking
institution for a specified period of time at a stated interest rate. Time
2
<PAGE>
deposits which may be held by SCIT will not benefit from insurance from the Bank
Insurance Fund or the Savings Association Insurance Fund administered by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Fixed time deposits may be withdrawn on
demand by the investor, but may be subject to early withdrawal penalties that
vary with market conditions and the remaining maturity of the obligation. Fixed
time deposits subject to withdrawal penalties maturing in more than seven
calendar days are subject to the Fund's limitation on investments in illiquid
securities.
Eurodollar Obligations. Eurodollar bank obligations are
dollar-denominated certificates of deposit and time deposits issued outside the
U.S. capital markets by foreign branches of U.S. banks and U.S. branches of
foreign banks. Eurodollar obligations are subject to the same risks that pertain
to domestic issues, notably credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk.
Additionally, Eurodollar obligations are subject to certain sovereign risks.
Commercial Paper. Commercial paper consists of short-term, unsecured
promissory notes issued to finance short-term credit needs. The commercial paper
purchased by SCIT will consist only of direct obligations issued by domestic and
foreign entities. The other corporate obligations in which the Fund may invest
consist of high quality short term bonds and notes (including variable amount
master demand notes) issued by domestic and foreign corporations, including
banks.
Participation Interests. SCIT may purchase from financial institutions
participation interests in securities in which the Fund may invest. A
participation interest gives the Fund an undivided interest in the security in
the proportion that the Fund's participation interest bears to the principal
amount of the security. These instruments may have fixed, floating or variable
interest rates, with remaining maturities of 397 days or less. If the
participation interest is unrated, or has been given a rating below that which
is permissible for purchase by the Fund, the participation interest will be
backed by an irrevocable letter of credit or guarantee of a bank, or the payment
obligation otherwise will be collateralized by U.S. Government securities, or,
in the case of unrated participation interest, determined by the Adviser to be
of comparable quality to those instruments in which the Fund may invest. For
certain participation interests, the Fund will have the right to demand payment,
on not more than seven days' notice, for all or any part of the Fund's
participation interests in the security, plus accrued interest. As to these
instruments, the Fund intends to exercise its right to demand payment only upon
a default under the terms of the security.
Asset-backed securities. Asset backed securities may include pools of
mortgages, loans, receivables or other assets. Payment of principal and interest
may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the
securities.
Illiquid or Restricted Securities. SCIT may occasionally purchase
securities other than in the open market. While such purchases may often offer
attractive opportunities for investment not otherwise available on the open
market, the securities so purchased are often "restricted securities", i.e.,
securities which cannot be sold to the public without registration under the
Securities Act of 1933 or the availability of an exemption from registration
(such as Rules 144 or 144A), or which are "not readily marketable" because they
are subject to other legal or contractual delays in or restrictions on resale.
Generally speaking, restricted securities may be sold only to qualified
institutional buyers, or in a privately negotiated transaction to a limited
number of purchasers, or in limited quantities after they have been held for a
specified period of time and other conditions are met pursuant to an exemption
from registration, or in a public offering for which a registration statement is
in effect under the Securities Act of 1933. SCIT may be deemed to be an
"underwriter" for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 when selling restricted
securities to the public, and in such event the Fund may be liable to purchasers
of such securities if the registration statement prepared by the issuer, or the
prospectus forming a part of it, is materially inaccurate or misleading.
SCIT will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in securities
which are not readily marketable, the disposition of which is restricted under
Federal securities laws or in repurchase agreements not terminable within seven
days, and the Fund will not invest more than 5% of its total assets in
restricted securities.
General Investment Objectives and Policies of Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund
Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund is a pure no-load(TM), open-end,
diversified management investment company. Treasury Fund's investment objectives
3
<PAGE>
are to provide safety, liquidity and stability of capital, and consistent
therewith, to provide current income. Treasury Fund seeks to achieve its
objectives through a portfolio consisting primarily of short-term U.S. Treasury
obligations and similar investments. Treasury Fund will limit its investments to
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and repurchase agreements
with respect to such obligations. At least 80% of Treasury Fund's assets will be
invested in either U.S. Treasury securities or in repurchase agreements
collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. All of the securities in which the
Fund may invest are U.S. dollar-denominated.
Treasury Fund provides convenience, liquidity, and professional
management. Treasury Fund's investment adviser, Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc.
(the "Adviser"), seeks to improve income by keeping money at work in what it
considers to be the most attractive short-term debt instruments consistent with
the Fund's objectives of safety, liquidity and stability of capital. There is no
assurance that these objectives will be achieved. Treasury Fund seeks to
maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share, although in certain
circumstances this may not be possible.
Specialized Investment Techniques of the Funds
Maintenance of $1.00 Net Asset Value and Credit Quality. Pursuant to a
Rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), each Fund effects
sales, redemptions and repurchases at the net asset value per share, normally
$1.00, rounded to the nearest whole cent. In fulfillment of their
responsibilities under that Rule, the Trustees of each Fund have approved
policies established by the Funds' Adviser reasonably calculated to prevent each
Fund's net asset value per share, as so rounded, from deviating from $1.00
except under unusual or extraordinary circumstances and the Trustees of each
Fund will periodically review the Adviser's operations under such policies at
regularly scheduled Trustees' meetings. Those policies include a daily
monitoring by the Adviser of unrealized gains and losses in each Fund's
portfolio, and when necessary, in an effort to avoid deviation, taking
corrective action, such as adjusting the maturity of the portfolio, or, if
possible, realizing gains or losses to offset in part unrealized losses or
gains. The result of those policies may be that the yield on shares of each Fund
will be lower than would be the case if the policies were not in effect. Such
policies also provide for certain action to be taken with respect to portfolio
securities which experience a downgrade in rating or suffer a default.
Securities eligible for investment by the Funds are those securities
which are generally rated (or issued by an issuer with comparable securities
rated) in the highest rating category by at least two rating services (or by one
rating service, if no other rating agency has issued a rating with respect to
that security). These securities are known as "first tier securities."
Securities generally rated (or issued by an issuer with comparable securities
rated) in the top two categories by at least two rating agencies (or one, if
only one rating agency has rated the security) which do not qualify as first
tier securities are known as "second tier securities." To ensure diversity of a
Fund's investments, as a matter of non-fundamental policy, each Fund will not
invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of a single issuer,
other than the U.S. Government. Each Fund may, however, invest more than 5% of
its total assets in the first tier securities of a single issuer for a period of
up to three business days after purchase, although a Fund may not make more than
one such investment at any time. Each Fund may not invest more than 5% of its
total assets in securities which were second tier securities when acquired by
the Fund. Further, each Fund may not invest more than the greater of (1) 1% of
its total assets, or (2) one million dollars, in the securities of a single
issuer which were second tier securities when acquired by the Fund.
Portfolio Maturity. The assets of each Fund consist entirely of cash
items and investments having a stated maturity date of 397 calendar days or less
(except in the case of Government securities, 762 calendar days) from date of
purchase (including investment in repurchase agreements, in which case maturity
is measured by the repurchase date, without respect to the maturity of the
obligation). The term "Government securities," as used herein, means securities
issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities. The portfolio of each Fund will be managed so
that the average maturity of all instruments (on a dollar-weighted basis) will
be 90 days or less. The average maturity of the two portfolios will vary
according to the management's appraisal of money market conditions. Each Fund
will invest only in securities determined by or under the direction of the
Trustees to be of high quality with minimal credit risks.
Portfolio Turnover. The Funds may sell portfolio securities to take
advantage of investment opportunities arising from changing market levels or
yield relationships. Although such transactions involve additional costs in the
form of spreads, they will be undertaken in an effort to improve a Fund's
overall investment return, consistent with its objectives.

<PAGE>
U.S. Government Securities. U.S. Government Securities are securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, by federal agencies, or by
instrumentalities established or sponsored by the U.S. Government. Obligations
issued by the U.S. Treasury are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Government. They include Treasury bills, notes and bonds, which differ in their
interest rates, maturities and times of issuance. Obligations guaranteed by the
U.S. Treasury include Government National Mortgage Association participation
certificates. Obligations of a federal agency or U.S. Government instrumentality
may be supported in various ways, including the limited authority of the issuer
to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, such as securities of the Federal Home Loan
Bank; the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase obligations
of the agency or instrumentality, such as Federal National Mortgage Association
bonds; or the credit only of the issuing agency or instrumentality, such as
Student Loan Marketing Association. In the case of obligations not backed by the
full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, the Fund must look principally to
the agency issuing or guaranteeing the obligations for ultimate repayment, which
agency may be privately owned. These securities may bear fixed, floating or
variable rates of interest. Interest may fluctuate based on generally recognized
reference rates or the relationship of rates.
When-issued and Forward Delivery Securities. Government securities are
frequently offered on a "when-issued" or "forward delivery" basis. When so
offered, the price, which is generally expressed in yield terms, is fixed at the
time the commitment to purchase is made, but delivery and payment for the
when-issued or forward delivery securities take place at a later date. During
the period between purchase and settlement, no payment is made by the Funds to
the issuer and no interest accrues to the Funds. To the extent that assets of
the Funds are not invested prior to the settlement of a purchase of securities,
the Funds will earn no income; however, it is intended that both Funds will be
fully invested to the extent practicable and subject to the policies stated
herein. When-issued or forward delivery purchases are negotiated directly with
the other party and are not traded on an exchange. While when-issued or forward
delivery securities may be sold prior to the settlement date, it is intended
that both Funds will purchase such securities with the purpose of actually
acquiring them unless a sale appears desirable for investment reasons. At the
time SCIT and Treasury Fund make the commitment to purchase securities on a
when-issued or forward delivery basis, they will record the transaction and
reflect the value of the security in determining their respective net asset
values. Neither Fund believes that its net asset value or income will be
adversely affected by its purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward
delivery basis. SCIT and Treasury Fund will establish a segregated account in
which to maintain cash, U.S. Government securities or other high-grade debt
obligations equal in value to commitments for when-issued or forward delivery
securities. Such segregated securities either will mature or, if necessary, be
sold on or before the settlement date. Neither SCIT nor Treasury Fund will enter
into such transactions for leverage purposes.
Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements
with any member bank of the Federal Reserve System or any broker/dealer which is
recognized as a reporting government securities dealer if the creditworthiness
of the bank or broker/dealer has been determined by the Adviser to be at least
as high as that of other obligations the Funds may purchase or to be at least
equal to that of issuers of commercial paper rated within the two highest
ratings categories assigned by Moody's, S&P or Fitch.
A repurchase agreement provides a means for a Fund to earn income on
funds for periods as short as overnight. It is an arrangement under which the
purchaser (i.e., a Fund) acquires a security ("Obligation") and the seller
agrees, at the time of sale, to repurchase the Obligation at a specified time
and price. Securities subject to a repurchase agreement are held in a segregated
account and, as described in more detail below, the value of such securities is
kept at least equal to the repurchase price on a daily basis. The repurchase
price may be higher than the purchase price, the difference being income to a
Fund, or the purchase and repurchase prices may be the same, with interest at a
stated rate due to a Fund together with the repurchase price upon repurchase. In
either case, the income to a Fund is unrelated to the interest rate on the
Obligation itself. Obligations will be held by the custodian or in the Federal
Reserve Book Entry System.
For purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act"), a repurchase agreement is deemed to be a loan from a Fund to the
seller of the Obligation subject to the repurchase agreement and is therefore
subject to each Fund's investment restriction applicable to loans. It is not
clear whether a court would consider the Obligation purchased by a Fund subject
to a repurchase agreement as being owned by that Fund or as being collateral for
a loan by that Fund to the seller. In the event of the commencement of
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings with respect to the seller of the
Obligation before repurchase of the Obligation under a repurchase agreement, a
Fund may encounter delay and incur costs before being able to sell the security.
5
<PAGE>
Delays may involve loss of interest or decline in price of the Obligation. If
the court characterizes the transaction as a loan and a Fund has not perfected a
security interest in the Obligation, that Fund may be required to return the
Obligation to the seller's estate and be treated as an unsecured creditor of the
seller. As an unsecured creditor, a Fund would be at risk of losing some or all
of the principal and income involved in the transaction. As with any unsecured
debt Obligation purchased for a Fund, the Adviser seeks to minimize the risk of
loss through repurchase agreements by analyzing the creditworthiness of the
obligor, in this case the seller of the Obligation. Apart from the risk of
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, there is also the risk that the seller may
fail to repurchase the Obligation, in which case a Fund may incur a loss if the
proceeds to that Fund of the sale to a third party are less than the repurchase
price. However, if the market value (including interest) of the Obligation
subject to the repurchase agreement becomes less than the repurchase price
(including interest), a Fund will direct the seller of the Obligation to deliver
additional securities so that the market value (including interest) of all
securities subject to the repurchase agreement will equal or exceed the
repurchase price.
The conclusions and investment decisions of the Adviser with respect to
each Fund are based primarily on the analyses of its own research specialists.
While these specialists have the major responsibility for doing research on debt
securities, they receive the support of the Adviser's general economics
department for studies on interest rate trends and of the Adviser's stock
research analysts for consultation on the qualitative aspects of credit analysis
which enable the Adviser to establish its own credit ratings for issuers of
senior securities. The Adviser believes it is important to have this combination
of specialized skills available for developing the proper investment strategies
for the Funds. The Adviser subscribes to leading bond information services and
receives directly published reports and statistical compilations of the issuers
themselves, as well as analyses from brokers and dealers who may execute
portfolio transactions for the Adviser's clients. However, the Adviser regards
this information and material as an adjunct to its own research activities.
Investment Restrictions
Unless specified to the contrary, the following restrictions may not be
changed without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities
of the Fund involved which, under the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder and as
used in this Statement of Additional Information, means the lesser of (1) 67% or
more of the voting securities present at a meeting, if the holders of more than
50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present or represented
by proxy; or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund.
Any investment restrictions herein which involve a maximum percentage of
securities or assets shall not be considered to be violated unless an excess
over the percentage occurs immediately after, and is caused by, an acquisition
or encumbrance of securities or assets of, or borrowings by, a Fund.
As a matter of fundamental policy, SCIT may not:
1. borrow money except from banks as a temporary measure for
extraordinary or emergency purposes (a Fund is required to
maintain asset coverage (including borrowings) of 300% for all
borrowings) and no purchases of securities will be made while
such borrowings exceed 5% of the value of the Fund's assets;
2. act as underwriter of the securities issued by others, except
to the extent that the purchase of securities in accordance
with its investment objective and policies directly from the
issuer thereof and the later disposition thereof may be deemed
to be underwriting;
3. make loans to other persons, except loans of portfolio
securities and except to the extent that the purchase of debt
obligations in accordance with its investment objective and
policies and the entry into repurchase agreements may be
deemed to be loans;
4. enter into repurchase agreements or purchase any securities
if, as a result thereof, more than 10% of the total assets of
a Fund (taken at market value) would be, in the aggregate,
subject to repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven
days and invested in restricted securities or securities which
are not readily marketable;
5. participate on a joint or a joint and several basis in any
trading account in securities, but may for the purpose of
possibly achieving better net results on portfolio
transactions or lower brokerage commission rates join with
6
<PAGE>
other investment company and client accounts managed by
Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc. in the purchase or sale of
portfolio securities;
6. purchase or retain securities of an issuer any of whose
officers, directors, trustees or security holders is an
officer, director or Trustee of a Fund or a member, officer,
director or trustee of the investment adviser of a Fund if one
or more of such individuals owns beneficially more than
one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) of the shares or
securities or both (taken at market value) of such issuer and
such individuals owning more than one-half of one percent (1/2
of 1%) of such shares or securities together own beneficially
more than 5% of such shares or securities or both;
7. purchase securities on margin or make short sales unless, by
virtue of its ownership of other securities, it has the right
to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the
securities sold and, if the right is conditional, the sale is
made upon the same conditions;
8. issue senior securities, except as appropriate to evidence
indebtedness which a Fund is permitted to incur pursuant to
Investment Restriction (1) and except for shares of any
additional series which may be established by the Trustees;
9. with respect to 75% of the value of the total assets of the
Fund, invest more than 5% of the value of total assets of the
Fund in the securities of any one issuer, except U.S.
Government securities;
10. purchase and sell real estate (though it may invest in
short-term securities of companies which deal in real estate
and in other permitted investments secured by real estate) or
commodities or commodities contracts;
11. purchase securities of any issuer with a record of less than
three years continuous operation, including predecessors,
except obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government
or its agencies, if such purchase would cause the Fund's
investments in all such issuers to exceed 5% of the Fund's
total assets taken at market value;
12. purchase common stocks or other voting securities;
13. purchase securities if such purchase would cause more than 25%
in the aggregate of the market value of the total assets of
the Fund at the time of such purchase to be invested in the
securities of one or more issuers having their principal
business activities in the same industry, provided that there
is no limitation in respect to investments in obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or
instrumentalities, or in certificates of deposit or bankers'
acceptances (for the purposes of this restriction telephone
companies are considered to be a separate industry from gas
and electric public utilities, and wholly-owned finance
companies are considered to be in the industry of their
parents if their activities are primarily related to financing
the activities of the parents); or
14. invest for the purpose of controlling or managing any other
company.
In addition, although not a matter of fundamental policy, SCIT may not:
(a) purchase or sell interests in oil, gas or other mineral
leases, or exploration or development programs (although they
may invest in securities of issuers which own or invest in
such interests);
(b) pledge, mortgage or hypothecate its assets, except that, to
secure borrowings permitted by Investment Restriction (1), it
may pledge securities having a market value at the time of
pledge not exceeding 15% of the cost of the Fund's total
assets;
(c) purchase or sell any put or call options or any combination
thereof, not including warrants;
(d) purchase restricted securities (for these purposes restricted
security means a security with a legal or contractual
restriction on resale in the principal market in which the
7
<PAGE>
security is traded), including repurchase agreements maturing
in more than seven days and securities which are not readily
marketable if as a result more than 10% of SCIT's net assets
(valued at market at purchase) would be invested in such
securities;
(e) purchase securities if, as a result thereof, more than 5% of
the value of SCIT's net assets would be invested in restricted
securities;
(f) invest in the securities of other investment companies, except
by purchase in the open market when no commission or profit to
a sponsor or dealer results from such purchase other than the
customary broker's commission, or except when such purchase,
though not made on the open market, is part of a plan of
merger or consolidation;
(g) purchase or sell real estate limited partnership interests;
(h) invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of
any one issuer or subject to puts from any one issuer, except
U.S. Government securities, provided that the Fund may invest
more than 5% of its total assets in first tier securities of
any one issuer for a period of up to three business days or,
in unrated securities that have been determined to be of
comparable quality by the Fund's Adviser;
(i) invest more than 5% of its total assets in second tier
securities, or in unrated securities determined by the Adviser
to be of comparable quality;
(j) invest more than the greater of $1,000,000 or 1% of total
assets in second tier securities of any one issuer;
(k) invest more than 10% of its total assets in securities subject
to an unconditional put issued by any one institution;
(l) borrow money, including reverse repurchase agreements, in
excess of 5% of its total assets (taken at market value)
except for temporary or emergency purposes, or borrow other
than from banks; or
(m) make loans unless all loans of portfolio securities are fully
collateralized and marked to market daily.
As a matter of fundamental policy, unless and to the extent permitted
by an exemptive order of the SEC, Treasury Fund may not:
1. borrow money, except as a temporary measure for extraordinary
or emergency purposes or except in connection with reverse
repurchase agreements, provided that the Fund maintains asset
coverage of 300% for all borrowings;
2. purchase or sell real estate (except that the Fund may invest
in (i) securities of companies which deal in real estate or
mortgages, and (ii) securities secured by real estate or
interests therein, and that the Fund reserves freedom of
action to hold and to sell real estate acquired as a result of
the Fund's ownership of securities); or purchase or sell
physical commodities or contracts relating to physical
commodities;
3. act as an underwriter of securities issued by others, except
to the extent that it may be deemed an underwriter in
connection with the disposition of portfolio securities of the
Fund;
4. make loans to other persons, except (a) loans of portfolio
securities, and (b) to the extent the entry into repurchase
agreements and the purchase of debt securities in accordance
with its investment objective and investment policies may be
deemed to be loans; or
5. issue senior securities, except as appropriate to evidence
indebtedness which it is permitted to incur, and except for
shares of the separate classes or series of the Trust,
provided that collateral arrangements with respect to
8
<PAGE>
currency-related contracts, futures contracts, options or
other permitted investments, including deposits of initial and
variation margin, are not considered to be the issuance of
senior securities for purposes of this restriction.
Treasury Fund has undertaken that if the Fund obtains an exemptive
order of the SEC which would permit the taking of action in contravention of any
policy which may not be changed without a shareholder vote, the Fund will not
take such action unless either (i) the applicable exemptive order permits the
taking of such action without a shareholder vote or (ii) the staff of the SEC
has issued to the Fund a "no action" or interpretive letter to the effect that
the Fund may proceed without a shareholder vote.
Although not a matter of fundamental policy Treasury Fund may not:
(a) purchase or retain securities of any open-end investment
company, or securities of closed-end investment companies
except by purchase in the open market where no commission or
profit to a sponsor or dealer results from such purchases, or
except when such purchase, though not made in the open market,
is part of a plan of merger, consolidation, reorganization or
acquisition of assets; in any event the Fund may not purchase
more than 3% of the outstanding voting securities of another
investment company, may not invest more than 5% of its assets
in another investment company, and may not invest more than
10% of its assets in other investment companies;
(b) pledge, mortgage or hypothecate its assets in excess, together
with permitted borrowings, of 1/3 of its total assets;
(c) purchase or retain securities of an issuer any of whose
officers, directors, trustees or security holders is an
officer, director or trustee of the Fund or a member, officer,
director or trustee of the investment adviser of the Fund if
one or more of such individuals owns beneficially more than
one-half of one percent (1/2%) of the outstanding shares or
securities or both (taken at market value) of such issuer and
such individuals owning more than one-half of one percent
(1/2%) of such shares or securities together own beneficially
more than 5% of such shares or securities or both;
(d) purchase securities on margin or make short sales, unless, by
virtue of its ownership of other securities, it has the right
to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the
securities sold and, if the right is conditional, the sale is
made upon the same conditions, except that the Fund may obtain
such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance
of purchases and sales of securities;
(e) invest more than 10% of its net assets in securities which are
not readily marketable, the disposition of which is restricted
under Federal securities laws, or in repurchase agreements not
terminable within 7 days, and the Fund will not invest more
than 5% of its total assets in restricted securities;
(f) purchase securities of any issuer with a record of less than
three years continuous operations, including predecessors,
except U.S. Government securities and obligations issued or
guaranteed by any foreign government or its agencies or
instrumentalities, if such purchase would cause the
investments of the Fund in all such issuers to exceed 5% of
the total assets of the Fund taken at market value;
(g) purchase more than 10% of the voting securities of any one
issuer, except securities issued by the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities;
(h) invest in oil, gas or other mineral leases, or exploration or
development programs (although it may invest in issuers which
own or invest in such interests);
(i) borrow money, including reverse repurchase agreements, in
excess of 5% of its total assets (taken at market value)
except for temporary or emergency purposes, or borrow other
than from banks;

thereof;
(k) purchase or sell real estate limited partnership interests;
9
<PAGE>
(l) invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of
any one issuer or subject to puts from any one issuer, except
U.S. Government securities, provided that the Fund may invest

comparable quality by the Fund's Adviser;
(m) invest more than 5% of its total assets in second tier
securities, or in unrated securities determined by the Adviser
to be of comparable quality;
(n) invest more than the greater of $1,000,000 or 1% of total

Shareholders of other Scudder funds who have submitted an account
application and have a certified tax identification number, clients having a
regular investment counsel account with Scudder or its affiliates and members of
their immediate families, officers and employees of the Adviser or of any
affiliated organization and their immediate families, members of the NASD and
banks may open an account by wire. These investors must call 1-800-225-5163 to
get an account number. During the call the investor will be asked to indicate
the Fund name, amount to be wired ($1,000 minimum), name of bank or trust
company from which the wire will be sent, the exact registration of the new
account, the tax identification number or Social Security number, address and
telephone number. The investor must then call the bank to arrange a wire
transfer to The Scudder Funds, Boston, MA 02110, ABA Number 011000028, Account
Number: 9903-5552. The investor must give the Scudder fund name, account name
and the new account number. Finally, the investor must send the completed and
signed application to the Fund promptly.
Checks
A certified check is not necessary, but checks are only accepted
subject to collection at full face value in U.S. funds and must be drawn on or
payable through a United States bank.
If shares of a Fund are purchased with a check which proves to be
uncollectible, that Fund reserves the right to cancel the purchase immediately
and the purchaser will be responsible for any loss incurred by that Fund or the
principal underwriter by reason of such cancellation. If the purchaser is a
shareholder, such Fund will have the authority, as agent of the shareholder, to
redeem shares in the account in order to reimburse the Fund or the principal
underwriter for the loss incurred. Investors whose orders have been canceled may
be prohibited from or restricted in placing future orders in any of the Scudder
funds.
Wire Transfer of Federal Funds
To purchase shares of a Fund and obtain the same day dividend you must
have your bank forward federal funds by wire transfer and provide the required
account information so as to be available to a Fund prior to twelve o'clock noon
10
<PAGE>
eastern time on that day. If you wish to make a purchase of $500,000 or more,
you should notify the Fund's transfer agent, Scudder Service Corporation (the
"Transfer Agent") of such a purchase by calling 1-800-225-5163. If either the
federal funds or the account information is received after twelve o'clock noon
eastern time, but both the funds and the information are made available before
the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange")
(normally 4 p.m. eastern time) on any business day, shares will be purchased at
net asset value determined on that day but will not receive the dividend; in
such cases, dividends commence on the next business day.
The bank sending an investor's federal funds by bank wire may charge
for the service. Presently, each Fund pays a fee for receipt by State Street
Bank and Trust Company (the "Custodian") of "wired funds," but the right to
charge investors for this service is reserved.
Boston banks are closed on certain holidays although the Exchange may
be open. These holidays include Martin Luther King Jr., Day (the 3rd Monday in
January), Columbus Day (the 2nd Monday in October) and Veterans' Day (November
11). Investors are not able to purchase shares by wiring federal funds on such
holidays because the Custodian is not open to receive such federal funds on
behalf of either Fund.
Share Price
Purchases made by check will be filled without sales charge at the
close of regular trading on the Exchange on the day the check is received by the
Transfer Agent in good order. Net asset value of each Fund normally is computed
twice a day, as of twelve o'clock noon and the close of regular trading on the
Exchange on each day when the Exchange is open for trading.
Share Certificates
Due to the desire of each Fund's management to afford ease of
redemption, certificates will not be issued to indicate ownership in either
Fund. Share certificates now in a shareholder's possession may be sent to the
Transfer Agent for cancelation and credit to such shareholder's account.
Shareholders who prefer may hold the certificates in their possession until they
wish to exchange or redeem such shares.
Other Information
If purchases and redemptions of shares of either Fund are arranged and
settlement is made at the investor's election through a member of the NASD,
other than Scudder Investor Services, Inc., that member may, at its discretion,
charge a fee for that service. The Trustees of each Fund and Scudder Investor
Services, Inc., the Funds' principal underwriter, each has the right to limit
the amount of purchases and to refuse to sell to any person. The Board of
Trustees of each Fund and Scudder Investor Services, Inc. may suspend or
terminate the offering of shares of their respective Fund at any time.
The "Tax Identification Number" section of the application must be
completed when opening an account. Applications and purchase orders without a
certified tax identification number and certain other certified information
(e.g. from exempt investors a certification of exempt status) will be returned
to the investor.
The minimum initial purchase amount is less than $1,000 under special
plan accounts.
The Funds may issue shares at net asset value in connection with any
merger or consolidation with, or acquisition of the assets of, any investment
company (or series thereof) or personal holding company, subject to the
requirements of the 1940 Act.

EXCHANGES AND REDEMPTIONS
(See "Exchanges and redemptions" and "Transaction
information" in each Fund's prospectus.)
Exchanges
Exchanges are comprised of a redemption from one Scudder fund and a
purchase into another Scudder fund. The purchase side of the exchange either may
be an additional investment into an existing account or may involve opening a
new account in the other fund. When an exchange involves a new account, the new
account will be established with the same registration, tax identification
number, address, telephone redemption option, "Scudder Automated Information
Line" (SAIL(TM)) transaction authorization and dividend option as the existing
account. Other features will not carry over automatically to the new account.
Exchanges to a new fund account must be for a minimum of $1,000. When an
exchange represents an additional investment into an existing account, the
account receiving the exchange proceeds must have identical registration, tax
identification number, address, and account options/features as the account of
origin. Exchanges into an existing account must be for $100 or more. If the
account receiving the exchange proceeds is to be different in any respect, the
exchange request must be in writing and must contain an original signature
guarantee as described under "Transaction information--Redeeming
shares--Signature guarantees" in each Fund's prospectus.
Exchange orders received before the close of regular trading on the
Exchange on any business day ordinarily will be executed at the respective net
asset values determined on that day. Exchange orders received after the close of
regular trading on the Exchange will be executed on the following business day.
Investors may also request, at no extra charge, to have exchanges
automatically executed on a predetermined schedule from one Scudder fund to an
existing account in another Scudder fund, at current net asset value, through
Scudder's Automatic Exchange Program. Exchanges must be for a minimum of $50.
Shareholders may add this free feature over the telephone or in writing.
Automatic Exchanges will continue until the shareholder requests by telephone or
in writing to have the feature removed, or until the originating account is
depleted. The Trusts and the Transfer Agent each reserve the right to suspend or
terminate the privilege of the Automatic Exchange Program at any time.
There is no charge to the shareholder for any exchange described above.
An exchange into another Scudder fund is a redemption of shares, and therefore
may result in tax consequences (gain or loss) to the shareholder, and the
proceeds of such an exchange may be subject to backup withholding. (See
"TAXES.")
Investors currently receive the exchange privilege, including exchange
by telephone, automatically without having to elect it. The Trusts employ
procedures, including recording telephone calls, testing a caller's identity,
and sending written confirmation of telephone transactions, designed to give
reasonable assurance that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine,
and to discourage fraud. To the extent that the Trusts do not follow such
procedures, they may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent
telephone instructions. The Trusts will not be liable for acting upon
instructions communicated by telephone that they reasonably believe to be
genuine. The Trusts and the Transfer Agent each reserve the right to suspend or
terminate the privilege of exchanging by telephone or fax at any time.
The Scudder funds into which investors may make an exchange are listed
under "The Scudder Family of Funds" herein. Before making an exchange,
shareholders should obtain from Scudder Investor Services, Inc. a prospectus of
the Scudder fund into which the exchange is being contemplated.
Scudder retirement plans may have different exchange requirements.
Please refer to appropriate plan literature.
Redemption by Telephone
In order to request redemptions by telephone, shareholders must have
completed and returned to the Transfer Agent the application, including the
designation of a bank account to which the redemption proceeds are to be sent.
12
<PAGE>
Shareholders currently receive the right to redeem up to $50,000 to their
address of record automatically, without having to elect it. Shareholders may
also request to have the proceeds mailed or wired to their pre-designated bank
account.
(a) NEW INVESTORS wishing to establish telephone redemption to a
pre-designated bank account must complete the appropriate
section on the application.
(b) EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS (except those who are Scudder IRA,
Scudder Pension and Profit-Sharing, Scudder 401(k) and Scudder
403(b) Planholders) who wish to establish telephone redemption
to a pre-designated bank account or who want to change the
bank account previously designated to receive redemption
payments should either return a Telephone Redemption Option
Form (available upon request) or send a letter identifying the
account and specifying the exact information to be changed.
The letter must be signed exactly as the shareholder's name(s)
appears on the account. A signature and a signature guarantee
are required for each person in whose name the account is
registered.
Telephone redemption is not available with respect to shares
represented by share certificates or shares held in certain retirement accounts.
If a request for redemption to a shareholder's bank account is made by
telephone or fax, payment will be by Federal Reserve bank wire to the bank
account designated on the application, unless a request is made that the
redemption check be mailed to the designated bank account. There will be a $5
charge for all wire redemptions.
Note: Investors designating a savings bank to receive their telephone
redemption proceeds are advised that if the savings bank is not a participant in
the Federal Reserve System, redemption proceeds must be wired through a
commercial bank which is a correspondent of the savings bank. As this may delay
receipt by the shareholder's account, it is suggested that investors wishing to
use a savings bank discuss wire procedures with their bank and submit any
special wire transfer information with the telephone redemption authorization.
If appropriate wire information is not supplied, redemption proceeds will be
mailed to the designated bank.
The Funds employ procedures, including recording telephone calls,
testing a caller's identity, and sending written confirmation of telephone
transactions, designed to give reasonable assurance that instructions
communicated by telephone are genuine, and to discourage fraud. To the extent
that the Funds do not follow such procedures, they may be liable for losses due
to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instructions. The Funds will not be
liable for acting upon instructions communicated by telephone that they
reasonably believe to be genuine.
Redemption requests by telephone (technically a repurchase by agreement
between the Fund and the shareholder) of shares purchased by check will not be
accepted until the purchase check has cleared which may take up to seven
business days.
Redemption by Mail or Fax
Any existing share certificates representing shares being redeemed must
accompany a request for redemption and be duly endorsed or accompanied by a
proper stock assignment form with signatures guaranteed as explained in each
Fund's prospectus.
In order to ensure proper authorization before redeeming shares, the
Transfer Agent may request additional documents such as, but not restricted to,
stock powers, trust instruments, certificates of death, appointments as
executor, certificates of corporate authority and waivers of tax (required in
some states when settling estates).
It is suggested that shareholders holding share certificates or shares
registered in other than individual names contact the Transfer Agent prior to
any redemptions to ensure that all necessary documents accompany the request.
When shares are held in the name of a corporation, trust, fiduciary, agent,
attorney or partnership, the Transfer Agent requires, in addition to the stock
13
<PAGE>
power, certified evidence of authority to sign. These procedures are for the
protection of shareholders and should be followed to ensure prompt payment.
Redemption requests must not be conditional as to date or price of the
redemption. Proceeds of a redemption will be sent within five days after receipt
by the Transfer Agent of a request for redemption that complies with the above
requirements. Delays of more than seven business days of payment for shares
tendered for repurchase or redemption may result, but only until the purchase
check has cleared.
The requirements for IRA redemptions are different from those for
regular accounts. For more information call 1-800-225-5163.
Redemption by Write-a-Check
All new investors and existing shareholders who apply to State Street
Bank and Trust Company for checks may use them to pay any person, provided that
each check is for at least $100 and not more than $5 million. By using the
checks, the shareholder will receive daily dividend credit on his or her shares
until the check has cleared the banking system. Investors who purchased shares
by check may write checks against those shares only after they have been on a
Fund's book for seven business days. Shareholders who use this service may also
use other redemption procedures. No shareholder may write checks against
certificated shares. The Funds pay the bank charges for this service. However,
each Fund will review the cost of operation periodically and reserve the right
to determine if direct charges to the persons who avail themselves of this
service would be appropriate. Each Fund, Scudder Service Corporation and State
Street Bank and Trust Company reserve the right at any time to suspend or
terminate the "Write-a-Check" procedure.
Other Information
If a shareholder redeems all shares in the account, the shareholder
will receive, in addition to the net asset value thereof, all declared but
unpaid dividends thereon. Neither Fund imposes a redemption or repurchase
charge, although a wire charge may be applicable for redemption proceeds wired
to an investor's bank account. Redemptions of shares, including redemptions
undertaken to effect an exchange for shares of another Scudder fund or
portfolio, and including exchanges and redemptions by Write-a-Check, may result
in tax consequences (gain or loss) to the shareholder and the proceeds of such
redemptions may be subject to backup withholding (see "TAXES").
Shareholders who wish to redeem shares from Special Plan Accounts
should contact the employer, trustee or custodian of the Plan for the
requirements.
The determination of net asset value may be suspended at times and a
shareholder's right to redeem shares and to receive payment therefor may be
suspended at times (a) during which the Exchange is closed, other than customary
weekend and holiday closings, (b) during which trading on the Exchange is
restricted for any reason, (c) during which an emergency exists as a result of
which disposal by a Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable
or it is not reasonably practicable for a Fund to determine fairly the value of
its net assets, or (d) during which the SEC by order permits a suspension of the
right of redemption or a postponement of the date of payment or redemption;
provided that applicable rules and regulations of the SEC (or any succeeding
governmental authority) shall govern as to whether the conditions prescribed in
(b), (c) or (d) exist.
If transactions at any time reduce a shareholder's account balance to
below $1,000 in value, the Fund involved may notify the shareholder that, unless
the account balance is brought up to at least $1,000, that Fund will redeem all
shares and close the account sending redemption proceeds to the shareholder. The
shareholder has sixty days to bring the account balance up to $1,000 before any
action will be taken by that Fund. (This policy applies to accounts of new
shareholders, but does not apply to certain Special Plan Accounts.) The Trustees
of Treasury Fund have the authority to change the minimum account size.

FEATURES AND SERVICES OFFERED BY THE FUNDS
(See "Shareholder benefits" in each Fund's prospectus.)
The Pure No-Load(TM) Concept
Investors are encouraged to be aware of the full ramifications of
mutual fund fee structures, and of how Scudder distinguishes its funds from the
vast majority of mutual funds available today. The primary distinction is
between load and no-load funds.
Load funds generally are defined as mutual funds that charge a fee for
the sale and distribution of fund shares. There are three types of loads:
front-end loads, back-end loads, and asset-based 12b-1 fees. 12b-1 fees are
distribution-related fees charged against fund assets and are distinct from
service fees, which are charged for personal services and/or maintenance of
shareholder accounts. Asset-based sales charges and service fees are typically
paid pursuant to distribution plans adopted under 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
A front-end load is a sales charge, which can be as high as 8.50% of
the amount invested. A back-end load is a contingent deferred sales charge,
which can be as high as 8.50% of either the amount invested or redeemed. The
maximum front-end or back-end load varies, and depends upon whether or not a
fund also charges a 12b-1 fee and/or a service fee or offers investors various
sales-related services such as dividend reinvestment. The maximum charge for a
12b-1 fee is 0.75% of a fund's average annual net assets, and the maximum charge
for a service fee is 0.25% of a fund's average annual net assets.
A no-load fund does not charge a front-end or back-end load, but can
charge a small 12b-1 fee and/or service fee against fund assets. Under the NASD
Rules of Fair Practice, a mutual fund can call itself a "no-load" fund only if
the 12b-1 fee and/or service fee does not exceed 0.25% of a fund's average
annual net assets.
Because Scudder funds do not pay any asset-based sales charges or
service fees, Scudder developed and trademarked the phrase pure no-load(TM) to
distinguish Scudder funds from other no-load mutual funds. Scudder pioneered the
no-load concept when it created the nation's first no-load fund in 1928, and
later developed the nation's first family of no-load mutual funds.
The following chart shows the potential long-term advantage of
investing $10,000 in a Scudder pure no-load fund over investing the same amount
in a load fund that collects an 8.50% front-end load, a load fund that collects
only a 0.75% 12b-1 and/or service fee, and a no-load fund charging only a 0.25%
12b-1 and/or service fee. The hypothetical figures in the chart show the value
of an account assuming a constant 10% rate of return over the time periods
indicated and reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

Fund's prospectus for more specific information about the rates at which
management fees and other expenses are assessed.
Dividend and Capital Gain Distribution Options
Investors have freedom to choose whether to receive cash or to reinvest
any dividends from net investment income or distributions from realized capital
gains in additional shares of a Fund. A change of instructions for the method of
15
<PAGE>
payment must be given to the Transfer Agent at least five days prior to a
dividend record date. Shareholders may change their dividend option either by
calling 1-800-225-5163 or by sending written instructions to the Transfer Agent.
See "How to contact Scudder" in each Fund's prospectus for the address.
Please include your account number with your written request.
Reinvestment is usually made on the day following the record date.
Investors may leave standing instructions with the Transfer Agent designating
their option for either reinvestment or cash distribution of any income
dividends or capital gains distributions. If no election is made, dividends and
distributions will be invested in additional shares of the relevant Fund.
Investors may also have dividends and distributions automatically
deposited to their predesignated bank account through Scudder's
DistributionsDirect Program. Shareholders who elect to participate in the
DistributionsDirect Program, and whose predesignated checking account of record
is with a member bank of the Automated Clearing House Network (ACH) can have
income and capital gain distributions automatically deposited to their personal
bank account usually within three business days after a Fund pays its
distribution. A DistributionsDirect request form can be obtained by calling
1-800-225-5163. Confirmation statements will be mailed to shareholders as
notification that distributions have been deposited.
Scudder Funds Centers
Investors may visit any of the Centers maintained by Scudder Investor
Services, Inc. The Centers are designed to provide individuals with services
during any business day. Investors may pick up literature or obtain assistance
with opening an account, adding monies or special options to existing accounts,
making exchanges within the Scudder Family of Funds, redeeming shares or opening
retirement plans. Checks should not be mailed to the Centers but should be
mailed to "The Scudder Funds" at the address listed under "How to contact
Scudder" in the Funds' prospectuses.
Diversification
Your investment represents an interest in a large, diversified
portfolio of carefully selected securities. Diversification helps protect you
against the risks associated with concentrating in fewer securities or in a
specific market sector.
Reports to Shareholders
Each Fund issues to their respective shareholders semiannual financial
statements (audited annually by independent accountants), including a list of
investments held and statements of assets and liabilities, operations, changes
in net assets, and financial highlights for each Fund.
Transaction Summaries
Annual summaries of all transactions in each Fund account are available
to shareholders. The summaries may be obtained by calling 1-800-225-5163.

Massachusetts 02110-4103 or by calling toll free, 1-800-225-2470. It is
advisable for an investor considering the funding of the investment plans
described below to consult with an attorney or other investment or tax adviser
with respect to the suitability requirements and tax aspects thereof.
Shares of each Fund may also be a permitted investment under profit
sharing and pension plans and IRA's other than those offered by the Fund's
distributor depending on the provisions of the relevant plan or IRA.
None of the plans assures a profit or guarantees protection against
depreciation, especially in declining markets.
Scudder Retirement Plans: Profit-Sharing and Money Purchase Pension Plans for
Corporations and Self-Employed Individuals
Shares of either Fund may be purchased as the investment medium under a
plan in the form of a Scudder Profit-Sharing Plan (including a version of the
Plan which includes a cash-or-deferred feature) or a Scudder Money Purchase
Pension Plan (jointly referred to as the Scudder Retirement Plans) adopted by a
corporation, a self-employed individual or a group of self-employed individuals
(including sole proprietorships and partnerships), or other qualifying
organization. Each of these forms was approved by the IRS as a prototype. The
IRS's approval of an employer's plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Code") will be greatly facilitated if it is in such approved
form. Under certain circumstances, the IRS will assume that a plan, adopted in
this form, after special notice to any employees, meets the requirements of
Section 401(a) of the Code.
Scudder 401(k): Cash or Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan for Corporations and
Self-Employed Individuals
Shares of either Fund may be purchased as the investment medium under a
plan in the form of a Scudder 401(k) Plan adopted by a corporation, a
self-employed individual or a group of self-employed individuals (including sole
proprietors and partnerships), or other qualifying organization. This plan has
been approved as a prototype by the IRS.
Scudder IRA: Individual Retirement Account
Shares of either Fund may be purchased as the underlying investment for
an Individual Retirement Account which meets the requirements of Section 408(a)
of the Code.
A single individual who is not an active participant in an
employer-maintained retirement plan, a simplified employee pension plan, or a
tax-deferred annuity program (a "qualified plan"), and a married individual who
is not an active participant in a qualified plan and whose spouse is also not an
active participant in a qualified plan, are eligible to make tax deductible
contributions of up to $2,000 to an IRA prior to the year such individual
attains age 70 1/2. In addition, certain individuals who are active participants
in qualified plans (or who have spouses who are active participants) are also
eligible to make tax-deductible contributions to an IRA; the annual amount, if
any, of the contribution which such an individual will be eligible to deduct
will be determined by the amount of his, her, or their adjusted gross income for
the year. Whenever the adjusted gross income limitation prohibits an individual
from contributing what would otherwise be the maximum tax-deductible
contribution he or she could make, the individual will be eligible to contribute
the difference to an IRA in the form of nondeductible contributions.
An eligible individual may contribute as much as $2,000 of qualified
income (earned income or, under certain circumstances, alimony) to an IRA each
20
<PAGE>
year (up to $2,250 for married couples if one spouse has earned income of no
more than $250). All income and capital gains derived from IRA investments are
reinvested and compound tax-deferred until distributed. Such tax-deferred
compounding can lead to substantial retirement savings.
The table below shows how much individuals would accumulate in a fully
tax-deductible IRA by age 65 (before any distributions) if they contribute
$2,000 at the beginning of each year, assuming average annual returns of 5, 10,
and 15%. (At withdrawal, accumulations in this table will be taxable.)

Scudder 403(b) Plan
Shares of each Fund may also be purchased as the underlying investment
for tax sheltered annuity plans under the provisions of Section 403(b)(7) of the
Code. In general, employees of tax-exempt organizations described in Section
501(c)(3) of the Code (such as hospitals, churches, religious, scientific, or
literary organizations and educational institutions) or a public school system
are eligible to participate in a 403(b) plan.
Automatic Withdrawal Plan
Non-retirement plan shareholders who currently own or purchase $10,000
or more of shares of a Fund may establish an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. The
investor can then receive monthly, quarterly or periodic redemptions from his or
her account for any designated amount of $50 or more. Payments are mailed at the
end of each month. The check amounts may be based on the redemption of a fixed
dollar amount, fixed share amount, percent of account value or declining
balance. The Plan provides for income dividends and capital gains distributions,
if any, to be reinvested in additional shares. Shares are then liquidated as
necessary to provide for withdrawal payments. Since the withdrawals are in
amounts selected by the investor and have no relationship to yield or income,
payments received cannot be considered as yield or income on the investment and
the resulting liquidations may deplete or possibly extinguish the initial
investment. Requests for increases in withdrawal amounts or to change payee must
be submitted in writing, signed exactly as the account is registered and contain
signature guarantee(s) as described under "Transaction information--Redeeming
shares--Signature guarantees" in each Fund's prospectus. Any such requests must
be received by each Fund's transfer agent by the 15th of the month in which such
21
<PAGE>
change is to take effect. An Automatic Withdrawal Plan may be terminated at any
time by the shareholder, the Funds or their agents on written notice, and will
be terminated when all shares of a Fund under the Plan have been liquidated or
upon receipt by the Funds of notice of death of the shareholder.
An Automatic Withdrawal Plan request form can be obtained by calling
1-800-225-5163.
Group or Salary Deduction Plan
An investor may join a Group or Salary Deduction Plan where
satisfactory arrangements have been made with Scudder Investor Services, Inc.
for forwarding regular investments through a single source. The minimum annual
investment is $240 per investor which may be made in monthly, quarterly,
semiannual or annual payments. The minimum monthly deposit per investor is $20.
Except for trustees or custodian fees for certain retirement plans, at present
there is no separate charge for maintaining group or salary deduction plans;
however, the Trusts and their agents reserve the right to establish a
maintenance charge in the future depending on the services required by the
investor.
The Trusts each reserve the right, after notice has been given to the
shareholder, to redeem and close a shareholder's account in the event that the
shareholder ceases participating in the group plan prior to investment of $1,000
per individual or in the event of a redemption which occurs prior to the
accumulation of that amount or which reduces the account value to less than
$1,000 and the account value is not increased to $1,000 within a reasonable time
after notification. An investor in a plan who has not purchased shares for six
months shall be presumed to have stopped making payments under the plan.
Automatic Investment Plan
Shareholders may arrange to make periodic investments through automatic
deductions from checking accounts by completing the appropriate form and
providing the necessary documentation to establish this service. The minimum
investment is $50.
Uniform Transfers/Gifts to Minors Act
Grandparents, parents or other donors may set up custodian accounts for
minors. The minimum initial investment is $1,000 unless the donor agrees to
continue to make regular share purchases for the account through Scudder's
Automatic Investment Plan. In this case, the minimum initial investment is $500.
The Trusts reserve the right, after notice has been given to the
shareholder and custodian, to redeem and close a shareholder's account in the
event that regular investments to the account cease before the $1,000 minimum is
reached.
Scudder Trust Company
Annual service fees are paid by the Funds to Scudder Trust Company, an
affiliate of the Adviser, for certain retirement plan accounts and are included
in the fees paid to the Transfer Agent.
DIVIDENDS
(See "Distribution and performance information--Dividends and
capital gains distributions" in each Fund's prospectus.)
The net income of each Fund is determined as of the close of regular
trading on the Exchange, usually 4 p.m. eastern time on each day the Exchange is
open for trading.
All the net investment income and all net realized short-term capital
gains and net realized short and long-term capital losses of SCIT so determined
normally will be declared as a dividend to shareholders of record as of
determination of the net asset value at 12:00 noon after the purchase and
redemption of shares. All the net investment income and all net realized
short-term capital gains of Treasury Fund so determined normally will be
declared as a dividend to shareholders of record as of determination of the net
asset value at twelve o'clock noon after the purchase and redemption of shares.
22
<PAGE>
Shares purchased as of the determination of net asset value made as of the
regular close of the Exchange will not participate in that day's dividend; in
such cases dividends commence on the next business day. Checks will be mailed to
shareholders electing to take dividends in cash, and confirmations will be
mailed to shareholders electing to invest dividends in additional shares for the
month's dividends within four business days after the dividend is calculated.
Dividends will be invested at the net asset value per share, normally $l.00,
determined as of the close of regular trading on the Exchange on the last
business day of each month.
Dividends are declared daily on each day on which the Exchange is open
for business. The dividends for a business day immediately preceding a weekend
or holiday will normally include an amount equal to the net income for the
subsequent days on which dividends are not declared. However, no daily dividend
will include any amount of net investment income in respect of a subsequent
semiannual accounting period.
Net investment income (from the time of the immediately preceding
determination thereof) consists of all interest income accrued on the portfolio
assets of a Fund, less all actual and accrued expenses. Interest income included
in the daily computation of net investment income is comprised of original issue
discount earned on discount paper accrued to the date of maturity as well as
accrued interest. Expenses of each Fund, including the management fee payable to
the Adviser, are accrued each day.
Normally, each Fund will have a positive net investment income at the
time of each determination thereof. Net investment income may be negative if an
unexpected liability must be accrued or a loss realized. If the net investment
income of a Fund determined at any time is a negative amount, the net asset
value per share will be reduced below $l.00 unless one or more of the following
steps are taken: the Trustees have the authority (1) to reduce the number of
shares in each shareholder's account, (2) to offset each shareholder's pro rata
portion of negative net investment income from the shareholder's accrued
dividend account or from future dividends, or (3) to combine these methods in
order to seek to maintain the net asset value per share at $1.00. Each Fund may
endeavor to restore the net asset value per share to $l.00 by not declaring
dividends from net investment income on subsequent days until restoration, with
the result that the net asset value per share will increase to the extent of
positive net investment income which is not declared as a dividend.
Because the net investment income of each Fund is declared as a
dividend each time the net investment income of the Fund is determined, the net
asset value per share of each Fund (i.e., the fair value of the net assets of
the Fund divided by the number of shares of the Fund outstanding) will remain at
$l.00 per share immediately after each such determination and dividend
declaration, unless (i) there are unusual or extended fluctuations in short-term
interest rates or other factors, such as unfavorable changes in the
creditworthiness of issuers affecting the value of securities in the Fund's
portfolio, or (ii) net income is a negative amount.
Should a Fund incur or anticipate any unusual or unexpected significant
expense or loss which would affect disproportionately that Fund's income for a
particular period, the Trustees would at that time consider whether to adhere to
the dividend policy described above or to revise it in the light of the then
prevailing circumstances in order to ameliorate to the extent possible the
disproportionate effect of such expense, loss or depreciation on then existing
shareholders. Such expenses or losses may nevertheless result in a shareholder's
receiving no dividends for the period during which the shares are held and in
receiving upon redemption a price per share lower than that which was paid.
Neither Fund anticipates realizing any long-term capital gains.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
(See "Distribution and performance
information--Performance information" in each Fund's
prospectus.)
From time to time, quotations of each Fund's performance may be
included in advertisements, sales literature or reports to shareholders or
prospective investors. These performance figures may be calculated in the
following manner:
23
<PAGE>
Yield
Yield is the net annualized yield based on a specified 7 calendar days
calculated at simple interest rates. Yield is calculated by determining the net
change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical
pre-existing account having a balance of one share at the beginning of the
period, and dividing the difference by the value of the account at the beginning
of the base period to obtain the base period return. The yield is annualized by
multiplying the base period return by 365/7. The yield figure is stated to the
nearest hundredth of one percent. The yield for the seven-day period ended June
30, 1995 was 5.12% for SCIT and 5.20% for Treasury Fund.
Effective Yield
Effective yield is the net annualized yield for a specified 7 calendar
days assuming a reinvestment of the income or compounding. Effective yield is
calculated by the same method as yield except the effective yield figure is
compounded by adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7,
and subtracting 1 from the result, according to the following formula:
Effective yield = [(Base Period Return + 1)^365/7] - 1.
The effective yield for the seven-day period ended June 30, 1995 was
5.25% for SCIT and 5.34% for Treasury Fund.
Quotations of each Fund's performance are based on historical earnings
and are not intended to indicate future performance. An investor's shares when
redeemed may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance of the
Fund will vary based on changes in market conditions and the level of each
Fund's expenses.
Average Annual Total Return
Average annual total return is the average annual compound rate of
return for the periods of one year, five years, ten years and the life of a
Fund, where applicable, all ended on the last day of a recent calendar quarter.
Average annual total return quotations reflect changes in the price of a Fund's
shares, if any, and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions
during the respective periods were reinvested in Fund shares. Average annual
total return is calculated by finding the average annual compound rates of
return of a hypothetical investment over such periods, according to the
following formula (average annual total return is then expressed as a
percentage):
T = (ERV/P)^1/n - 1
Where:
P = a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000
T = Average Annual Total Return
n = number of years
ERV = ending redeemable value: ERV is the value,
at the end of the applicable period, of a
hypothetical $1,000 investment made at the
beginning of the applicable period.
Average Annual Total Return for periods ended June 30, 1995
One Five Ten
Year Years Years
SCIT 4.90% 4.45% 5.84%
Treasury Fund* 4.70% 4.26% 5.41%
* If the Adviser had not absorbed a portion of Fund expenses and
had imposed a full management fee, the average annual total
return for the one year, five year and ten year periods ended
June 30, 1995, would have been lower.
24
<PAGE>
Cumulative Total Return
Cumulative Total Return is the cumulative rate of return on a
hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 for a specified period. Cumulative
total return quotations reflect the change in the price of a Fund's shares and
assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions during the period were
reinvested in Fund shares. Cumulative total return is calculated by finding the
cumulative rates of return of a hypothetical investment over such periods,
according to the following formula (cumulative total return is then expressed as
a percentage):
C = (ERV/P)-1
Where:
C = Cumulative Total Return
P = a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000
ERV = ending redeemable value: ERV is the value,
at the end of the applicable period, of a
hypothetical $1,000 investment made at
the beginning of the applicable period.
Cumulative Total Return for periods ended June 30, 1995
One Five Ten
Year Years Years
SCIT 4.90% 24.33% 76.43%
Treasury Fund* 4.70% 23.22% 69.32%
* If the Adviser had not absorbed a portion of Fund expenses and
had imposed a full management fee, the cumulative total return
for the one year, five year and ten year periods ended June
30, 1995, would have been lower.
Total Return
Total return is the rate of return on an investment for a specified
period of time calculated in the manner as cumulative total return.
Quotations of the Funds' performance are historical, show the
performance of a hypothetical investment and are not intended to indicate future
performance. Average annual total return, cumulative total return and yield for
a Fund will vary based on changes in market conditions and the level of each
Fund's expenses. An investor's shares when redeemed may be worth more or less
than their original cost.
Investors should be aware that the principal of each Fund is not
insured.
Comparison of Fund Performance
A comparison of the quoted non-standard performance offered for various
investments is valid only if performance is calculated in the same manner. Since
there are different methods of calculating performance, investors should
consider the effects of the methods used to calculate performance when comparing
performance of a Fund with performance quoted with respect to other investment
companies or types of investments.
In connection with communicating its performance to current or
prospective shareholders, a Fund also may compare these figures to the
performance of unmanaged indices which may assume reinvestment of dividends or
interest but generally do not reflect deductions for administrative and
management costs. Examples include, but are not limited to the Dow Jones
Industrial Average, the Consumer Price Index, Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
Stock Price Index (S&P 500), the NASDAQ OTC Composite Index, the NASDAQ
Industrials Index, the Russell 2000 Index, and statistics published by the Small
Business Administration.
From time to time, in advertising and marketing literature, a Fund's
performance may be compared to the performance of broad groups of mutual funds
25
<PAGE>
with similar investment goals, as tracked by independent organizations such as,
Investment Company Data, Inc. ("ICD"), Lipper Analytical Services, Inc.
("Lipper"), CDA Investment Technologies, Inc. ("CDA"), Morningstar, Inc., Value
Line Mutual Fund Survey and other independent organizations. When these
organizations' tracking results are used, a Fund will be compared to the
appropriate fund category, that is, by fund objective and portfolio holdings, or
to the appropriate volatility grouping, where volatility is a measure of a
fund's risk. For instance, a Scudder growth fund will be compared to funds in
the growth fund category; a Scudder income fund will be compared to funds in the
income fund category; and so on. Scudder funds (except for money market funds)
may also be compared to funds with similar volatility, as measured statistically
by independent organizations.
From time to time, in marketing and other Fund literature, Trustees and
officers of the Funds, the Funds' portfolio manager, or members of the portfolio
management team may be depicted and quoted to give prospective and current
shareholders a better sense of the outlook and approach of those who manage the
Funds. In addition, the amount of assets that the Adviser has under management
in various geographical areas may be quoted in advertising and marketing
materials.
The Funds may be advertised as an investment choice in Scudder's
college planning program. The description may contain illustrations of projected
future college costs based on assumed rates of inflation and examples of
hypothetical fund performance, calculated as described above.
Statistical and other information, as provided by the Social Security
Administration, may be used in marketing materials pertaining to retirement
planning in order to estimate future payouts of social security benefits.
Estimates may be used on demographic and economic data.
Marketing and other Fund literature may include a description of the
potential risks and rewards associated with an investment in the Funds. The
description may include a "risk/return spectrum" which compares the Funds to
other Scudder funds or broad categories of funds, such as money market, bond or
equity funds, in terms of potential risks and returns. Money market funds are
designed to maintain a constant $1.00 share price and have a fluctuating yield.
Share price, yield and total return of a bond fund will fluctuate. The share
price and return of an equity fund also will fluctuate. The description may also
compare the Funds to bank products, such as certificates of deposit. Unlike
mutual funds, certificates of deposit are insured up to $100,000 by the U.S.
government and offer a fixed rate of return.
Because bank products guarantee the principal value of an investment
and money market funds seek stability of principal, these investments are
considered to be less risky than investments in either bond or equity funds,
which may involve the loss of principal. However, all long-term investments,
including investments in bank products, may be subject to inflation risk, which
is the risk of erosion of the value of an investment as prices increase over a
long time period. The risks/returns associated with an investment in bond or
equity funds depend upon many factors. For bond funds these factors include, but
are not limited to, a fund's overall investment objective, the average portfolio
maturity, credit quality of the securities held, and interest rate movements.
For equity funds, factors include a fund's overall investment objective, the
types of equity securities held and the financial position of the issuers of the
securities. The risks/returns associated with an investment in international
bond or equity funds also will depend upon currency exchange rate fluctuation.
A risk/return spectrum generally will position the various investment
categories in the following order: bank products, money market funds, bond funds
and equity funds. Shorter-term bond funds generally are considered less risky
and offer the potential for less return than longer-term bond funds. The same is
true of domestic bond funds relative to international bond funds, and bond funds
that purchase higher quality securities relative to bond funds that purchase
lower quality securities. Growth and income equity funds are generally
considered to be less risky and offer the potential for less return than growth
funds. In addition, international equity funds usually are considered more risky
than domestic equity funds but generally offer the potential for greater return.
Risk/return spectrums also may depict funds that invest in both
domestic and foreign securities or a combination of bond and equity securities.

ORGANIZATION OF THE FUNDS
(See "Fund organization" in each Fund's prospectus.)
Scudder Cash Investment Trust is a Massachusetts business trust
established under a Declaration of Trust dated December 12, 1975. Treasury Fund
is a Massachusetts business trust established under a Declaration of Trust dated
April 4, 1980. On February 12, 1991, the Board of Trustees of Treasury Fund
approved the change in name from Scudder Government Money Fund to Scudder U.S.
Treasury Money Fund. Each Fund's authorized capital consists of an unlimited
number of shares of beneficial interest, par value $.01 per share, all of which
are one class and have equal rights as to voting, dividends and liquidation.
Shareholders have one vote for each share held. All shares issued and
outstanding will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Funds, and redeemable
as described in this combined Statement of Additional Information and in each
Fund's prospectus. The Trustees of both Funds have the authority to issue more
than one series of shares, but have no present intention to do so.
The Trustees of Treasury Fund, in their discretion, may authorize the
division of shares of the Fund (or shares of a series) into different classes,
permitting shares of different classes to be distributed by different methods.
Although shareholders of different classes would have an interest in the same
portfolio of assets, shareholders of different classes may bear different
expenses in connection with different methods of distribution. The Trustees have
no present intention of taking the action necessary to effect the division of
shares into separate classes, nor of changing the method of distribution of
shares of Treasury Fund.
Each Fund has a Declaration of Trust which provides that obligations of
the Fund involved are not binding upon the Trustees individually but only upon
the property of that Fund, that the Trustees and officers will not be liable for
errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, and that the Fund involved will
indemnify its Trustees and officers against liabilities and expenses incurred in
connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their
offices with the Fund involved except if it is determined in the manner provided
in the Declarations of Trust that they have not acted in good faith in the
reasonable belief that their actions were in the best interests of the Fund
involved. However, nothing in the Declarations of Trust protects or indemnifies

INVESTMENT ADVISER
(See "Fund organization--Investment adviser" in each Fund's
prospectus.)
Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc., an investment counsel firm, acts as
investment adviser to the Funds. This organization is one of the most
experienced investment management firms in the United States. It was established
as a partnership in 1919 and pioneered the practice of providing investment
counsel to individual clients on a fee basis. In 1928, it introduced the first
no-load mutual fund to the public. In 1953, the Adviser introduced Scudder
International Fund, Inc., the first mutual fund registered with the SEC in the
United States investing internationally in several foreign countries. The firm
reorganized from a partnership to a corporation on June 28, 1985.
The principal source of the Adviser's income is professional fees
received from providing continuous investment advice, and the firm derives no
income from brokerage or underwriting of securities. Today, it provides
investment counsel for many individuals and institutions, including insurance
companies, colleges, industrial corporations, and financial and banking
organizations. In addition, it manages Montgomery Street Income Securities,
Inc., Scudder California Tax Free Trust, Scudder Cash Investment Trust, Scudder
Equity Trust, Scudder Fund, Inc., Scudder Funds Trust, Scudder Global Fund,
Inc., Scudder GNMA Fund, Scudder Portfolio Trust, Scudder Institutional Fund,
Inc., Scudder International Fund, Inc., Scudder Investment Trust, Scudder
Municipal Trust, Scudder Mutual Funds, Inc., Scudder New Asia Fund, Inc.,
Scudder New Europe Fund, Inc., Scudder Securities Trust, Scudder State Tax Free
Trust, Scudder Tax Free Money Fund, Scudder Tax Free Trust, Scudder U.S.
Treasury Money Fund, Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund, Scudder World Income
Opportunities Fund, Inc., The Argentina Fund, Inc., The Brazil Fund, Inc., The
First Iberian Fund, Inc., The Korea Fund, Inc., The Japan Fund, Inc. and The
Latin America Dollar Income Fund, Inc. Some of the foregoing companies or trusts
have two or more series.

The Adviser also provides investment advisory services to the mutual
funds which comprise the AARP Investment Program from Scudder. The AARP
Investment Program from Scudder has assets over $11 billion and includes the
AARP Growth Trust, AARP Income Trust, AARP Tax Free Income Trust and AARP Cash
Investment Funds.
The Adviser also provides investment advisory services to the mutual
funds which comprise the AARP Investment Program from Scudder. The AARP
Investment Program from Scudder has assets of approximately $11 billion and
includes the AARP Growth Trust, AARP Income Trust, AARP Tax Free Income Trust
and AARP Cash Investment Funds.
The Adviser maintains a large research department, which conducts
continuous studies of the factors that affect the position of various
industries, companies and individual securities. The Adviser receives published
reports and statistical compilations from issuers and other sources, as well as
analyses from brokers and dealers who may execute portfolio transactions for the
Adviser's clients. However, the Adviser regards this information and material as
an adjunct to its own research activities. In selecting the securities in which
the Fund may invest, the conclusions and investment decisions of the Adviser
with respect to the Fund are based primarily on the analyses of its own research
department.
Certain investments may be appropriate for both SCIT and Treasury Fund
as well as other clients advised by the Adviser. Investment decisions for the
Funds and other clients are made with a view to achieving their respective
investment objectives and after consideration of such factors as their current
holdings, availability of cash for investment and the size of their investments
generally. Frequently, a particular security may be bought or sold for only one
client or in different amounts and at different times for more than one but less
than all clients. Likewise, a particular security may be bought for one or more
clients when one or more other clients are selling the security. In addition,
purchases or sales of the same security may be made for two or more clients on
the same day. In such event, such transactions will be allocated among the
clients in a manner believed by the Adviser to be equitable to each. In some
cases, this procedure could have an adverse effect on the price or amount of the
securities purchased or sold by the Funds. Purchase and sales orders for each
Fund may be combined with those of other clients of the Adviser in the interest
of achieving the most favorable net results to the Funds.
Scudder Cash Investment Trust
The Investment Advisory Agreement between SCIT and the Adviser (the
"Agreement"), dated November 12, 1985, will remain in effect until September 30,
1996 and will continue in effect from year to year thereafter only if its
continuance is approved annually by the vote of a majority of those Trustees who
are not parties to such Agreement or "interested persons" of the Adviser or SCIT
cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval
and either by vote of a majority of the Trustees or a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of SCIT. The Agreement was last approved by the
Trustees (including a majority of the Trustees who are not such "interested
persons") on August 8, 1995 and by the shareholders of the Fund on November 3,
1987. The Agreement may be terminated at any time without payment of penalty by
either party on sixty days' written notice, and automatically terminates in the
event of its assignment.
Under the Agreement, the Adviser regularly provides SCIT with
investment research, advice and supervision and furnishes continuously an
investment program consistent with SCIT's investment objectives and policies and
determines what securities shall be purchased for SCIT, what securities shall be
held or sold by SCIT, and what portion of SCIT's assets shall be held
uninvested, subject always to the provisions of SCIT's Declaration of Trust and
By-Laws, and of the 1940 Act and to SCIT's investment objectives, policies and
restrictions, and subject further to such policies and instructions as the
Trustees of SCIT may from time to time establish. The Adviser also advises and
assists the officers of SCIT in taking such steps as are necessary or
appropriate to carry out the decisions of its Trustees and the appropriate
committees of the Trustees regarding the conduct of the business of SCIT.
The Adviser pays the compensation and expenses of all affiliated
Trustees and executive employees of SCIT and makes available, without expense to
the Fund, the services of such Trustees, officers and employees as may duly be
elected Trustees, officers or employees of the Fund, subject to their individual
consent to serve and to any limitations imposed by law, and pays the Fund's
office rent and provides investment advisory, research and statistical
facilities and all clerical services relating to research, statistical and
investment work. For these services SCIT pays a monthly fee at an annual rate of
30
<PAGE>
0.50 of 1% of the first $250 million of the Fund's average daily net assets,
0.45 of 1% on the next $250 million of such net assets, 0.40 of 1% of the next
$500 million of such net assets and 0.35 of 1% on such net assets in excess of
$1 billion.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1993, 1994 and 1995 the investment
advisory fee was $5,404,781, $5,150,393 and $6,372,462, respectively.
Under the Agreement, SCIT is responsible for all its other expenses,
including clerical salaries; fees and expenses incurred in connection with
membership in investment company organizations; brokers' commissions; legal,
auditing and accounting expenses; taxes and governmental fees; the fees and
expenses of custodians, transfer agents and other agents; any other expenses,
including clerical expenses, of issue, sale, underwriting, distribution,
redemption or repurchase of shares of beneficial interest; the expenses of and
fees for registering or qualifying securities for sale; the fees and expenses of
the Trustees of the Fund who are not affiliated with the Adviser; and the cost
of preparing and distributing reports and notices to shareholders. SCIT may
arrange to have third parties assume all or part of the expense of sale,
underwriting and distribution of shares of the Fund. (See "DISTRIBUTOR" for
expenses paid by Scudder Investor Services, Inc.) SCIT is also responsible for
its expenses incurred in connection with litigation, proceeding and claims and
the legal obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with
respect thereto.
Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund
The Investment Management Agreement between Treasury Fund and the
Adviser (the "Agreement") was last approved by the Trustees on August 8, 1995
and by the shareholders on November 13, 1990. The Agreement is dated November
14, 1990 and will continue in effect until September 30, 1996 and from year to
year thereafter only if its continuance is approved annually by the vote of a
majority of those Trustees who are not parties to such Agreement or interested
persons of the Adviser or the Fund, cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on such approval, and either by vote of a majority of the
Trustees or of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. The Agreement may
be terminated at any time without payment of penalty by either party on sixty
days' written notice, and automatically terminates in the event of its
assignment.
Under the Agreement, the Adviser regularly provides Treasury Fund with
continuing investment management for the Fund's portfolio consistent with the
Fund's investment objectives, policies and restrictions and determines what
securities shall be purchased for the portfolio of the Fund, what portfolio
securities shall be held or sold by the Fund, and what portion of the Fund's
assets shall be held uninvested, subject always to the provisions of the Fund's
Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, of the 1940 Act and the Code and to the Fund's
investment objectives, policies and restrictions, and subject, further, to such
policies and instructions as the Trustees of the Fund may from time to time
establish. The Adviser also advises and assists the officers of the Fund in
taking such steps as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the decisions of
its Trustees and the appropriate committees of the Trustees regarding the
conduct of the business of the Fund.
Under the Agreement, the Adviser also renders significant
administrative services (not otherwise provided by third parties) necessary for
Treasury Fund's operations as an open-end investment company including, but not
limited to, preparing reports and notices to the Trustees and shareholders;
supervising, negotiating contractual arrangements with, and monitoring various
third-party service providers to the Fund (such as the Fund's transfer agent,
pricing agents, custodian, accountants and others); preparing and making filings
with the SEC and other regulatory agencies; assisting in the preparation and
filing the Fund's federal, state and local tax returns; preparing and filing the
Fund's federal excise tax returns; assisting with investor and public relations
matters; monitoring the valuation of securities and the calculation of net asset
value; monitoring the registration of shares of the Fund under applicable
federal and state securities laws; maintaining the Fund's books and records to
the extent not otherwise maintained by a third party; assisting in establishing
accounting policies of the Fund; assisting in the resolution of accounting and
legal issues; establishing and monitoring the Fund's operating budget;
processing the payment of the Fund's bills; assisting the Fund in, and otherwise
arranging for, the payment of distributions and dividends and otherwise
assisting the Fund in the conduct of its business, subject to the direction and
control of the Trustees.
The Adviser pays the compensation and expenses of all Trustees,
officers and executive employees of Treasury Fund (except those of attending
Board and committee meetings outside New York, New York or Boston,
Massachusetts) who are affiliated persons of the Adviser and makes available,
without expense to Treasury Fund, the services of the directors, officers and
31
<PAGE>
employees of the Adviser as may duly be elected officers of Treasury Fund,
subject to their individual consent to serve and to any limitations imposed by
law and provides the Fund's office space and facilities.
For these services, Treasury Fund pays the Adviser a fee equal to 0.50
of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The fee is payable monthly,
provided the Fund will make such interim payments as may be requested by the
Adviser not to exceed 75% of the amount of the fee then accrued on the books of
the Fund and unpaid. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1993, 1994 and 1995 the
investment advisory fee imposed was $971,439, $793,617 and $939,421,
respectively and the fees not imposed amounted to $636,153, $813,560 and
$967,383, respectively.
The Adviser has agreed until _________, not to impose all or a portion
of its investment management fee and take other action, to the extent necessary,
to maintain the annualized expenses of Treasury Fund at not more than ____% of
average daily net assets. The Adviser retains the ability to be repaid by the
Treasury Fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the
fiscal year. These expense limitation arrangements can decrease the Treasury
Fund's expenses and improve its performance.
Under the Agreement, Treasury Fund is responsible for all its other
expenses, including fees and expenses incurred in connection with membership in
investment company organizations; brokers' commissions; payments for portfolio
pricing services to a pricing agent, if any; legal, auditing and accounting
expenses; taxes and governmental fees; the fees and expenses of the Transfer
Agent; the cost of preparing share certificates or any other expenses, including
expenses of issuance, sale, redemption or repurchase of shares of beneficial
interest; the expenses of and fees for registering or qualifying securities for
sale; the fees and expenses of Trustees, officers and employees of the Fund who
are not affiliated with the Adviser; the cost of printing and distributing
reports and notices to shareholders; and the fees and disbursements of
custodians. Treasury Fund may arrange to have third parties assume all or part
of the expense of sale, underwriting and distribution of shares of the Fund.
(See "DISTRIBUTOR" for expenses paid by Scudder Investor Services, Inc.)
Treasury Fund is also responsible for expenses of shareholder meetings and
expenses incurred in connection with litigation, proceedings and claims and the
legal obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect
thereto.
SCIT and Treasury Fund
The Agreements require the Adviser to reimburse a Fund up to, but not
exceeding, the management fee or annual expenses of a Fund which exceed the
lowest expense limitation prescribed by any state in which a Fund's shares are
offered for sale. The management of both Funds have been advised that, while
most states have eliminated expense limitations, the lowest such limitation is
currently 2 1/2% of such net assets up to $30 million, 2% of the next $70
million of such net assets and 1 1/2% of such net assets in excess of that
amount. Certain expenses such as brokerage commissions, taxes, extraordinary
expenses and interest are excluded from such limitations, and other expenses may
be excluded from time to time. The expense ratios for SCIT for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 1993, 1994 and 1995 were 0.78%, 0.82% and 0.78%, respectively.
The ratios of expenses to annual investment income for SCIT for the same years
were 22.28%, 22.82% and 13.89%, respectively. The expense ratios for Treasury
Fund for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1993, 1994 and 1995 were 0.65%, 0.65%
and 0.65%, respectively. The ratios of expenses to annual investment income for
the same periods were 19.45%, 19.13% and 12.36%, respectively. If reimbursement
is required, it will be made as promptly as practicable after the end of a
Fund's fiscal year. However, no fee payment will be made to the Adviser during
any fiscal year which will cause year-to-date expenses to exceed the cumulative
pro rata expense limitation at the time of such payment.
Each Agreement also provides a Fund may use any name derived from the
name "Scudder, Stevens & Clark" only as long as the Agreement or any extension,
renewal or amendment thereof remains in effect.
In reviewing the terms of the Agreements and in discussions with the
Adviser concerning the Agreements, Trustees of each Fund who are not "interested
persons" of the Fund or the Adviser are represented by independent counsel at
that Fund's expense. Dechert Price & Rhoads acts as general counsel for each
Fund.
Each Agreement provides that the Adviser shall not be liable for any
error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by a Fund in
32
<PAGE>
connection with matters to which the Agreements relate, except a loss resulting
from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the
Adviser in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by the
Adviser of its obligations and duties under the Agreement.
Officers and employees of the Adviser from time to time may have
transactions with various banks, including the Funds' custodian bank. It is the
Adviser's opinion that the terms and conditions of those transactions were not
influenced by existing or potential custodial or other Fund relationships.
None of the Trustees or officers of a Fund may have dealings with that
Fund as principals in the purchase or sale of securities, except as individual
subscribers to or holders of shares of the Fund.
Personal Investments by Employees of the Adviser
Employees of the Adviser are permitted to make personal securities
transactions, subject to requirements and restrictions set forth in the
Adviser's Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics contains provisions and
requirements designed to identify and address certain conflicts of interest
between personal investment activities and the interests of investment advisory
clients such as the Funds. Among other things, the Code of Ethics, which
generally complies with standards recommended by the Investment Company
Institute's Advisory Group on Personal Investing, prohibits certain types of
transactions absent prior approval, imposes time periods during which personal
transactions may not be made in certain securities, and requires the submission
of duplicate broker confirmations and monthly reporting of securities
transactions. Additional restrictions apply to portfolio managers, traders,
research analysts and others involved in the investment advisory process.
Exceptions to these and other provisions of the Code of Ethics may be granted in
particular circumstances after review by appropriate personnel.

REMUNERATION
Several of the officers and Trustees of each Fund may also be officers
or employees of the Adviser, Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation, Scudder
Investor Services, Inc., Scudder Service Corporation or Scudder Trust Company
from whom they receive compensation, as a result of which they may be deemed to
participate in fees paid by each Fund. The Funds pay no direct remuneration to
any officer of a Fund. However, each Trustee of the Funds who is not affiliated
with the Adviser will be paid by the Fund. Each of these unaffiliated Trustees
receives an annual Trustee's fee of $4,000 and a fee of $300 for each Trustees'
meeting, audit committee meeting or meeting held for the purpose of considering
arrangements between a Fund and the Adviser or any of its affiliates. Each
unaffiliated Trustee also receives $100 per committee meeting attended, other
than those set forth above. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, such fees,
including expenses, totaled $38,232 for SCIT and $27,872 for Treasury Fund.

DISTRIBUTOR
Both Funds have an underwriting agreement with Scudder Investor
Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a Massachusetts corporation, which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, a Delaware corporation.
As agent, the Distributor currently offers shares of both Funds on a
continual basis to investors in all states in which the Funds may from time to
time be registered or where permitted by applicable law. The underwriting
agreement provides that the Distributor accept orders for shares at net asset
value as no sales commission or load is charged the investor. The Distributor
has made no firm commitment to acquire shares of either Fund.
Scudder Cash Investment Trust
SCIT's underwriting agreement dated July 20, 1976 will remain in effect
until September 30, 1996 and from year to year only if its continuance is
approved annually by a majority of the Board of Trustees who are not parties to
such agreement or "interested persons" of any such party and either by vote of a
majority of the Trustees or a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Fund. SCIT has agreed to pay all expenses in connection with registration of
37
<PAGE>
its shares with the SEC and auditing and filing fees in connection with
registration of its shares under the various state "blue-sky" laws and to assume
the cost of preparation of prospectuses and other expenses. The Distributor pays
all expenses of printing prospectuses used in offering shares (other than
prospectuses used by SCIT for transmission to shareholders, for which the Fund
pays printing expenses), expenses, other than filing fees, of qualification of
SCIT's shares in various states, including registering SCIT as a dealer, and all
other expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares which are not
specifically allocated to the Funds. The underwriting agreement was last
approved by the Trustees August 8, 1995.
Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund
Treasury Fund's underwriting agreement dated September 10, 1985 will
remain in effect until September 30, 1996 and from year to year thereafter only
if its continuance is approved annually by a majority of the members of the
Board of Trustees who are not parties to such agreement or "interested persons"
of any such party and either by vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees or a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of Treasury Fund. The underwriting
agreement was last approved by the Trustees on August 8, 1995.
Under the principal underwriting agreement, Treasury Fund is
responsible for: the payment of all fees and expenses in connection with the
preparation and filing with the SEC of its registration statement and prospectus
and any amendments and supplements thereto; the registration and qualification
of shares for sale in the various states, including registering Treasury Fund as
a broker or dealer; the fees and expenses of preparing, printing and mailing
prospectuses, notices, proxy statements, reports or other communications
(including newsletters) to shareholders of Treasury Fund; the cost of printing
and mailing confirmations of purchases of shares and the prospectuses
accompanying such confirmations; any issuance taxes or any initial transfer
taxes; a portion of shareholder toll-free telephone charges and expenses of
customer service representatives; the cost of wiring funds for share purchases
and redemptions (unless paid by the shareholder who initiates the transaction);
the cost of printing and postage of business reply envelopes; and a portion of
the cost of computer terminals used by both Treasury Fund and the Distributor.
Although Treasury Fund does not currently have a 12b-1 Plan and shareholder
approval would be required in order to adopt one, Treasury Fund will also pay
those fees and expenses permitted to be paid or assumed by Treasury Fund
pursuant to a 12b-1 Plan, if any, adopted by Treasury Fund, notwithstanding any
other provision to the contrary in the underwriting agreement and Treasury Fund
or a third party will pay those fees and expenses not specifically allocated to
the Distributor in the underwriting agreement.
The Distributor will pay for printing and distributing prospectuses or
reports prepared for its use in connection with the offering of the shares to
the public and preparing, printing and mailing any other literature or
advertising in connection with the offering of shares of Treasury Fund to the
public. The Distributor will pay all fees and expenses in connection with its
qualification and registration as a broker or dealer under federal and state
laws, a portion of the cost of toll-free telephone service and expenses of
customer service representatives, a portion of the cost of computer terminals,
and of any activity which is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares
issued by the Fund, unless a 12b-1 Plan is in effect which provides that the
Fund shall bear some or all of such expenses.
TAXES
(See "Transaction information--Tax information, Tax identification
number" and "Distribution and performance information--Dividends
and capital gains distributions" in each Fund's prospectus.)
Each Fund has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company
under Subchapter M of the Code, or a predecessor statute and has qualified as
such since its inception. Each Fund intends to continue to qualify for such
treatment. Such qualification does not involve governmental supervision or
management of investment practices or policy.
A regulated investment company qualifying under Subchapter M of the
Code is required to distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its
investment company taxable income (including net short-term capital gain) and
generally is not subject to federal income tax to the extent that it distributes
annually its investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains in
the manner required under the Code. Each Fund intends to distribute, at least
annually, all of its investment company taxable income and net realized capital
gains.
38
<PAGE>
The Funds are subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on amounts
required to be but not distributed under a prescribed formula. The formula
requires payment to shareholders during a calendar year of distributions
representing at least 98% of a Fund's ordinary income for the calendar year, at
least 98% of the excess of its capital gains over capital losses (adjusted for
certain ordinary losses) realized during the one-year period ending October 31
during such year (although investment companies with taxable years ending on
November 30 or December 31 may make an irrevocable election to measure the
required capital gain distribution using their actual taxable year), and all
ordinary income and capital gains for prior years that were not previously
distributed.
Investment company taxable income generally includes interest and net
short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, less
expenses. Net realized capital gains for a fiscal year are computed by taking
into account any capital loss carryforward of the Funds.
Distributions of investment company taxable income are taxable to
shareholders as ordinary income.
Since no portion of the Funds' income is comprised of dividends from
domestic corporations, none of the income distributions of the Funds is eligible
for the deduction for dividends received by corporations.
Distributions of the excess of net long-term capital gain over net
short-term capital loss are taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gain,
regardless of the length of time the shares of the Fund involved have been held
by such shareholders. Such distributions are not eligible for the
dividends-received deduction. Any loss realized upon the redemption of shares
held at the time of redemption for six months or less will be treated as a
long-term capital loss to the extent of any amounts treated as distributions of
long-term capital gains during such six-month period.
Distributions of investment company taxable income and net realized
capital gains will be taxable as described above, whether received in shares or
in cash. Shareholders electing to receive distributions in the form of
additional shares will have a cost basis for federal income tax purposes in each
share so received equal to the net asset value of a share on the reinvestment
date.
All distributions of investment company taxable income and net realized
capital gain, whether received in shares or in cash, must be reported by each
shareholder on his or her federal income tax return. Dividends declared in
October, November or December with a record date in such a month are deemed to
have been received by shareholders on December 31 if paid in January of the
following year. Redemptions of shares, including exchanges for shares of another
Scudder fund, may result in tax consequences (gain or loss) to the shareholder
and are also subject to these reporting requirements.
A portion of the difference between the issue price of zero coupon
securities and their face value ("original issue discount") is considered to be
income to a Fund each year, even though a Fund will not receive cash interest
payments from these securities. This original issue discount imputed income will
comprise a part of the investment company taxable income of the Funds which must
be distributed to shareholders in order to maintain the qualification of the
Funds as regulated investment companies and to avoid federal income tax at the
level of the Funds. In the event that a Fund acquires a debt instrument at a
market discount, it is possible that a portion of any gain recognized on the
disposition of such instrument may be treated as ordinary income.
A qualifying individual may make a deductible IRA contribution of up to
$2,000 or, if less, the amount of the individual's earned income for any taxable
year only if (i) neither the individual nor a spouse (unless filing separate
returns) is an active participant in an employer's retirement plan, or (ii) the
individual (and a spouse, if applicable) has an adjusted gross income below a
certain level ($40,050 for married individuals filing a joint return, with a
phase-out of the deduction for adjusted gross income between $40,050 and
$50,000; $25,050 for a single individual, with a phase-out for adjusted gross
income between $25,050 and $35,000). However, an individual not permitted to
make a deductible contribution to an IRA for any such taxable year may
nonetheless make nondeductible contributions up to $2,000 to an IRA (up to
$2,250 to IRAs for an individual and a nonearning spouse) for that year. There
are special rules for determining how withdrawals are to be taxed if an IRA
contains both deductible and nondeductible amounts. In general, a proportionate
amount of each withdrawal will be deemed to be made from nondeductible
contributions; amounts treated as a return of nondeductible contributions will
not be taxable. Also, annual contributions may be made to a spousal IRA even if
the spouse has earnings in a given year if the spouse elects to be treated as
having no earnings (for IRA contribution purposes) for the year.
39
<PAGE>
The Funds will be required to report to the IRS all distributions of
taxable income and capital gains as well as gross proceeds from the redemption
or exchange of Fund shares, except in the case of certain exempt shareholders.
Under the backup withholding provisions of Section 3406 of the Code,
distributions of taxable income and capital gains (and proceeds from the
redemption or exchange of the shares of a regulated investment company if the
funds fail to maintain a constant $1.00 NAV per share) may be subject to
withholding of federal income tax at the rate of 31% in the case of non-exempt
shareholders who fail to furnish the investment company with their taxpayer
identification numbers and with required certifications regarding their status
under the federal income tax law. Withholding may also be required if a Fund is
notified by the IRS or a broker that the taxpayer identification number
furnished by the shareholder is incorrect or that the shareholder has previously
failed to report interest or dividend income. If the withholding provisions are
applicable, any such distributions and proceeds, whether taken in cash or
reinvested in additional shares, will be reduced by the amounts required to be
withheld.
Shareholders of the Funds may be subject to state and local taxes on
distributions received from the Funds and on redemptions of the Funds' shares.
Under the laws of certain states, distributions of investment company taxable
income are taxable to shareholders as dividends, even though a portion of such
distributions may be derived from interest on U.S. Government obligations which,
if received directly by such shareholders, would be exempt from state income
tax.
Each distribution is accompanied by a brief explanation of the form and
character of the distribution. In January of each year, the Funds issue to each
shareholder a statement of the federal income tax status of all distributions.
Each Fund is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and, provided
that it qualifies as a regulated investment company for federal income tax
purposes, is not liable for any income or franchise tax in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
The foregoing discussion of U.S. federal income tax law relates solely
to the application of that law to U.S. persons, i.e., U.S. citizens and
residents and U.S. corporations, partnerships, trusts and estates. Each
shareholder who is not a U.S. person should consider the U.S. and foreign tax
consequences of ownership of shares of a Fund, including the possibility that
such a shareholder may be subject to a U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or
at a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty) on amounts constituting
ordinary income received by the shareholder, where such amounts are treated as
income from U.S. sources under the Code.
Shareholders should consult their tax advisers about the application of
the provisions of tax law described in this combined Statement of Additional
Information in light of their particular tax situations.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
To the maximum extent feasible, the Adviser places orders for portfolio
transactions for the Funds through the Distributor, which in turn places orders
on behalf of the Funds with other brokers and dealers. The Distributor will
receive no commissions, fees or other remuneration for this service. Allocation
of brokerage is supervised by the Adviser.
A Fund's purchases and sales of portfolio securities are generally
placed by the Adviser with the issuer or a primary market maker for these
securities on a net basis, without any brokerage commission being paid by the
Funds. Trading does, however, involve transaction costs. Transactions with
dealers serving as primary market makers reflect the spread between the bid and
asked prices. Transaction costs may also include fees paid to third parties for
information as to potential purchasers or sellers of securities but only if a
Fund would obtain the most favorable net results, including such fee, on a
particular transaction. Purchases of underwritten issues may be made which will
include an underwriting fee paid to the underwriter. To date, no brokerage
commissions have been paid.
The primary objective of the Adviser in placing orders for the purchase
and sale of securities for the Funds' portfolios is to obtain the most favorable
net results taking into account such factors as price, commission (negotiable in
the case of national securities exchange transactions), if any, size of order,
difficulty of execution and skill required of the executing broker/dealer. The
40
<PAGE>
Adviser seeks to evaluate the overall reasonableness of brokerage commissions
paid (to the extent applicable) through the familiarity of the Distributor with
commissions charged on comparable transactions, as well as by comparing
commissions paid by the Funds to reported commissions paid by others. The
Adviser reviews on a routine basis commission rates, execution and settlement
services performed, making internal and external comparisons.
When it can be done consistently with the policy of obtaining the most
favorable net results, it is the Adviser's practice to place such orders with
brokers and dealers who supply market quotations to the custodian of the Funds
for appraisal purposes, or who supply research, market and statistical
information to the Adviser. The term "research, market and statistical
information" includes advice as to the value of securities, the advisability of
investing in, purchasing or selling securities; and the availability of
securities or purchasers or sellers of securities; and furnishing analyses and
reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors and trends,
portfolio strategy and the performance of accounts. The Adviser is not
authorized when placing portfolio transactions for the Funds to pay a brokerage
commission (to the extent applicable) in excess of that which another broker
might have charged for effecting the same transaction solely on account of the
receipt of research, market or statistical information. The Adviser will not
place orders with brokers or dealers on the basis that a broker or dealer has or
has not sold shares of the Funds. Except for implementing the policy stated
above, there is no intention to place portfolio transactions with particular
brokers or dealers or groups thereof. In effecting transactions in
over-the-counter securities, orders are placed with the principal market-makers
for the security being traded unless, after exercising care, it appears that
more favorable results are available otherwise.
Although certain research, market and statistical information from
brokers and dealers can be useful to the Funds and to the Adviser, it is the
opinion of the management of the Funds that such information is only
supplementary to the Adviser's own research effort, since the information must
still be analyzed, weighed, and reviewed by the Adviser's staff. Such
information may be useful to the Adviser in providing services to clients other
than the Funds, and not all such information is used by the Adviser in
connection with the Funds. Conversely, such information provided to the Adviser
by brokers and dealers through whom other clients of the Adviser effect
securities transactions may be useful to the Adviser in providing services to
the Funds.
The Trustees of each Fund review from time to time whether the
recapture for the benefit of each Fund of some portion of the brokerage
commissions or similar fees paid by each Fund on portfolio transactions is
legally permissible and advisable. To date, no such recapture has been effected.
NET ASSET VALUE
The net asset value per share of each Fund is computed twice daily as
of twelve o'clock noon and the close of regular trading on the Exchange,
normally 4 p.m. eastern time, on each day when the Exchange is open for trading.
The Exchange is normally closed on the following national holidays: New Year's
Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Net asset value is determined by dividing the total
assets of a Fund, less all of its liabilities, by the total number of shares of
that Fund outstanding. The Funds use the penny-rounding method of security
valuation as permitted under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Under this method,
portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available and which
have remaining maturities of more than 60 days from the date of valuation are
valued at the mean between the over-the-counter bid and asked prices. Securities
which have remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued by the amortized
cost method; if acquired with remaining maturities of 61 days or more, the cost
thereof for purposes of valuation is deemed to be the value on the 61st day
prior to maturity. Other securities are appraised at fair value as determined in
good faith by or on behalf of the Trustees of each Fund. For example, securities
with remaining maturities of more than 60 days for which market quotations are
not readily available are valued on the basis of market quotations for
securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Determinations of net asset
value per share for each Fund made other than as of the close of the Exchange
may employ adjustments for changes in interest rates and other market factors.

Statement of Additional Information have been so included or incorporated by
reference in reliance on the report of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., One Post Office
Square, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, independent accountants, and given on the
authority of that firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
Shareholder Indemnification
The Funds are organizations of the type commonly known as a
"Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a
trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners
for the obligations of that trust. The Declarations of Trust of each Fund
contain an express disclaimer of shareholder liability in connection with the
Funds' property or the acts, obligations or affairs of the Funds. The
Declarations of Trust also provide for indemnification out of the Funds'
property of any shareholder held personally liable for the claims and
liabilities to which a shareholder may become subject by reason of being or
having been a shareholder. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial
loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a
Fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations.
Other Information
Both Funds have a fiscal year ending on June 30.
Portfolio securities of each Fund are held separately, pursuant to
separate custodian agreements, by State Street Bank and Trust Company, 225
Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02101 as custodian.
The CUSIP number of Scudder Cash Investment Trust is 811118-10-8.
The CUSIP number of Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund is 81123P-10-6.
"Scudder Cash Investment Trust" is the designation of the Trustees for
the time being under a Declaration of Trust dated December 12, 1975, and the
name "Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund" is the designation of the Trustees for
the time being under a Declaration of Trust dated April 4, 1980, each as amended
from time to time, and all persons dealing with a Fund must look solely to the
property of that Fund for the enforcement of any claims against that Fund as
neither the Trustees, officers, agents or shareholders assume any personal
liability for obligations entered into on behalf of a Fund. Upon the initial
purchase of shares, the shareholder agrees to be bound by a Fund's Declaration
of Trust, as amended from time to time. No series is liable for the obligations
of any other series. The Declaration of Trust of each Fund is on file at the
Massachusetts Secretary of State's Office in Boston, Massachusetts.
Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation, Two International Place, Boston,
Massachusetts, 02110-4103, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, computes
the Funds' net asset value. Each Fund pays Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation
an annual fee equal to 0.02% of the first $150 million of average daily net
assets, 0.006% of such assets in excess of $150 million, 0.0035% of such assets
in excess of $1 billion, plus holding and transaction charges for this service.
Scudder Service Corporation ("Service Corporation"), P.O. Box 2291,
Boston, Massachusetts 02107-2291, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is
the transfer and dividend disbursing agent for both funds. Service Corporation
also serves as shareholder service agent for the Funds and provides
subaccounting and recordkeeping services for shareholder accounts in certain
retirement and employee benefit plans. The Funds each pay Service Corporation an
annual fee of $28.90 for each account maintained for a participant. For the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, Service Corporation charged SCIT aggregate fees
of $4,218,266 and charged Treasury Fund aggregate fees of $988,611.
This Statement of Additional Information contains the information of
both Scudder Cash Investment Trust and Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund. Each

other Fund. The Trustees of each Fund have considered this, and have approved
the use of this Statement of Additional Information.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS
Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
P-1: Moody's Commercial Paper ratings are opinions of the ability of
issuers to repay punctually promissory obligations not having an
original maturity in excess of nine months. The designation Prime-1 or
P-1 indicates the highest quality repayment capacity of the rated
issue.
Standard & Poor's
A-1: S&P's Commercial Paper ratings are current assessments of the
likelihood of timely payment of debts having an original maturity of no
more than 365 days. The A-1 designation indicates the degree of safety
regarding timely payment is either overwhelming or very strong. Those
issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics are
denoted with a plus (+) sign designation.
Fitch Investors Service, Inc.
F-1: The rating F-1 is the highest rating assigned by Fitch. Among the
factors considered by Fitch in assigning this rating are: (1) the
issuer's liquidity; (2) its standing in the industry; (3) the size of
its debt; (4) its ability to service its debt; (5) its profitability;
(6) its return on equity; (7) its alternative sources of financing; and
(8) its ability to access the capital markets. Analysis of the relative
strength or weakness of these factors and others determines whether an
issuer's commercial paper is rated F-1.

LETTER FROM THE FUND'S PRESIDENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholders,
After a difficult 1994, stock and bond prices improved dramatically in
1995 as concerns about inflationary economic growth all but disappeared. In
spite of this strong overall market performance, money funds consistently
attracted assets during the past six months as investors, uncertain about the
economic outlook, sought a safe place for their short-term investments. The
total assets of all money funds rose to approximately $697 billion from
approximately $585 billion on June 30, 1994 -- an increase of more than 19%
according to Money Fund Report, a service of IBC Financial Publishing.
During the second half of 1994 and into early 1995, money market
investors benefited from higher interest rates. Although longer-term interest
rates declined through the first half of 1995, short-term rates remained
essentially flat, affording money market investors relatively attractive levels
of income. Not until July did the Federal Reserve, responding to evidence of
slowing economic growth, lower short-term interest rates. If inflation and
economic growth remain subdued, the possibility exists for further short-term
rate cuts in the months ahead. Declining rates, while a welcome change for many
businesses and consumers, are likely to translate into lower yields for money
fund investors. On the other hand, money funds continue to offer rates that are
generally more attractive than those available from bank savings accounts and
certificates of deposit, although mutual funds are not insured or guaranteed by
the U.S. government.
In times like these it is important to remember that while their yields
will fluctuate, money funds are designed to provide a relatively safe place for
your short-term investment needs. Scudder Cash Investment Trust seeks to
maintain a constant $1.00 share price, although there can be no assurance that
this will be the case. Please call a Scudder Investor Relations representative
at 1-800-225-2470 if you have any questions about your Fund. Thank you for
choosing Scudder Cash Investment Trust to help meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,
/s/David S. Lee

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shareholders,
We are pleased to report that Scudder Cash Investment Trust provided
investors with a stable $1.00 share price and a competitive 4.90% return during
its fiscal year ended June 30, 1995. In addition, the Fund posted an attractive
5.12% 7-day net annualized yield at the end of the period. Higher interest rates
in the first nine months of the fiscal year boosted your Fund's yield during
that time and enhanced total returns for the entire fiscal year. While money
market funds generally offer higher yields than insured bank savings accounts,
it is important to keep in mind that the Fund's yield will continue to fluctuate
with prevailing interest rates.
The Changing Investment Environment
During the second half of 1994 and into early 1995, money market investors
benefited from higher interest rates, while bonds and stocks generally reacted
negatively to the rising interest-rate environment. But long-term interest rates
have declined so far in 1995, as indications of a slowing economy reassured
investors that inflation was under control. Shortly after the close of the
Fund's fiscal year, the Federal Reserve reduced short-term interest rates by 1/4
of a percentage point, providing further evidence that inflation is not
currently viewed as a threat.

Longer Maturities Provide Insurance
Against Rate Declines
Given this year's declining interest-rate environment, Scudder Cash
Investment Trust has been extending its maturities to capture higher yields. The
average maturity of the Fund's securities cannot exceed 90 days. However, in
order to maintain the Fund's high (AAAm) quality rating by Standard & Poor's, an
independent rating service, we generally restrict the Fund's average maturity to
60 days or less. Your Fund's average maturity was 50 days at the close of the
fiscal period, in contrast with 30 days six months earlier. Additional interest
rate declines will be the impetus for further lengthening the Fund's average
maturity so that the Fund may continue to provide competitive yields.
Investment Breakdown
The Fund's emphasis on quality money market investments, which is in
keeping with its objective of principal stability, enabled Scudder Cash
Investment Trust to maintain its highest-quality rating from Standard & Poor's.
Corporate commercial paper remained a significant portion of the portfolio
throughout the fiscal year. These securities, which provide companies with
short-term funds at a lower rate than loans offered by banks, continue to offer
attractive yields. At the end of the period, commercial paper made up
approximately 46% of the Fund's portfolio.
During the fiscal year, we reduced the Fund's exposure to floating rate
notes (FRNs), whose interest rates are generally reset on a weekly basis. Since
interest rates of FRNs "float" above a particular index, these securities
typically offer higher yields than three-month Treasury bills and some
commercial paper. While Scudder Cash Investment Trust invests only in a very
low-risk form of floating rate note, their adjustable characteristics have made
these securities less desirable during recent months, when rates were generally
declining. We intend to continue to decrease the Fund's exposure to FRNs in the
current environment of declining interest rates, but may look to them for future
yield advantages should the interest rate trend reverse course.

<PAGE>
Looking Ahead
If the economy continues to slow and inflation remains under control, we
intend to favor money market securities at the long end of the spectrum to help
"lock in" attractive yields. Our focus will remain on quality as we select
investments to maintain Scudder Cash Investment Trust's stable share price and
competitive yield. Scudder Cash Investment Trust continues to offer a relatively
safe place for your short-term investment needs and can play an important
stabilizing role in a well-balanced portfolio of stocks, bonds, and short-term
investments.
Please call Scudder Investor Relations at 1-800-225-2470 if you have any
questions about your Fund.

SCUDDER CASH INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scudder Cash Investment Trust (the "Fund") is organized as a Massachusetts
business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. 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. Portfolio securities which have remaining maturities of
sixty days or less are valued by the amortized cost method permitted in
accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available and which have
remaining maturities of sixty-one days or more from the date of valuation are
valued at the calculated mean between the over-the-counter bid and asked
prices, using quotations supplied by independent registered broker/dealers. On
the sixtieth day prior to maturity and thereafter until maturity, securities
originally purchased with more than sixty days remaining to maturity are valued
at amortized cost calculated daily, based upon the market valuation of the
securities on the sixty-first day prior to maturity. Other securities are
appraised at fair value as determined in good faith by or on behalf of the
Trustees of the Fund. Repurchase agreements are valued at identified cost
which, when combined with accrued interest receivable, approximates market.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with
certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund, through its custodian,
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 at
such a level that the market value, depending on the maturity of the repurchase
agreement and the underlying collateral, is equal to at least 100.5% of the
resale price.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code which are applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. The
Fund accordingly paid no federal income taxes and no provision for federal
income taxes was required.
DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME AND GAINS. All of the net investment income of the Fund
is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record as of
14
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
twelve o'clock noon on each business day and is paid to shareholders monthly.
During any particular year, net realized gains from investment transactions, in
excess of available capital loss carryforwards, would be taxable to the Fund if
not distributed and, therefore, will be distributed to the shareholders.
An additional distribution may be made to the extent necessary to avoid the
payment of a four percent federal excise tax.
The Fund uses the specific identification method for determining realized gain
or loss on investments for both financial and federal income tax reporting
purposes.
OTHER. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis (which
in most instances is the same as the settlement date). Interest income is
accrued pro rata to maturity. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted
for both tax and financial reporting purposes.
B. RELATED PARTIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") with Scudder
Stevens & Clark, Inc. (the "Adviser"), the Fund agrees to pay the Adviser a fee
equal to an annual rate of 0.50% of the first $250,000,000 of the Fund's
average daily net assets, 0.45% of the next $250,000,000 of such net assets,
0.40% of the next $500,000,000 of such net assets and 0.35% of such net assets
in excess of $1,000,000,000, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly.
As manager of the assets of the Fund, the Adviser directs the investments of
the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives, policies, and
restrictions. The Adviser determines the securities, instruments, and other
contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the
Fund. In addition to portfolio management services, the Adviser provides
certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement.
The Agreement also provides that if the Fund's expenses, exclusive of taxes,
interest and extraordinary expenses, exceed specified limits, such excess, up
to the amount of the management fee, will be paid by the Adviser. For the year
ended June 30, 1995, the fee pursuant to the Agreement amounted to $6,372,462
which was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.41% of the Fund's average
daily net assets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF SCUDDER CASH INVESTMENT TRUST:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Scudder
Cash Investment Trust, including the investment portfolio, as of June 30, 1995,
and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements
of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and
the financial highlights for each of the ten years in the period then ended.
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of
the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of June 30, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Scudder Cash Investment Trust as of June 30, 1995, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of
the ten years in the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

LETTER FROM THE FUND'S PRESIDENT
Dear Shareholders,
Stock and bond prices improved dramatically in 1995 as concerns about
inflationary economic growth all but disappeared. In spite of this strong
overall market performance, money funds consistently attracted assets during the
past six months as investors, uncertain about the economic outlook, sought a
safe place for their short-term investments. The total assets of all money funds
rose from approximately $585 billion to approximately $697 billion since last
June -- an increase of more than 19% according to Money Fund Report, a service
of IBC Financial Publishing.
During the second half of 1994 and into early 1995, money market investors
benefited from higher interest rates. Although longer-term interest rates
declined through the first half of 1995, short-term rates remained essentially
flat, affording money market investors relatively attractive levels of income.
Not until July did the Federal Reserve, responding to evidence of slowing
economic growth, lower short-term interest rates. If inflation and economic
growth remain subdued, the possibility exists for further short-term rate cuts
in the months ahead. Declining rates, while a welcome change for many businesses
and consumers, are likely to translate into lower yields for money fund
investors. On the other hand, money funds continue to offer rates that are
generally more attractive than those available from bank savings accounts and
certificates of deposit, although mutual funds are not insured or guaranteed by
the U.S. government.
In times like these it is important to remember that while their yields may
fluctuate, money funds are designed to provide a safe place for your short-term
investment needs. Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund seeks to maintain a constant
$1.00 share price, although we cannot assure that this will be the case. Please
call a Scudder Investor Relations representative at 1-800-225-2470 if you have
any questions about your Fund. Thank you for choosing Scudder U.S. Treasury
Money Fund to help meet your investment needs.
Sincerely,
/s/David S. Lee

SCUDDER U.S. TREASURY MONEY FUND
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
Dear Shareholders,
June 30, 1995, closed a fiscal year that rewarded investors in Scudder U.S.
Treasury Money Fund with a stable share price and higher levels of income than
were available in fiscal year 1994. The Fund's 7-day net annualized yield ended
the year at 5.20%, while the 7-day effective yield (which includes the effect of
compounding) was 5.34% on June 30, 1995, compared with 3.43% a year ago. The
Fund's 12-month total return, which factors in the reinvestment of distributions
paid during the year, was 4.70%.
Steadily Rising Rates Were Tough Medicine On Most Everyone --
Except Money Market Investors
Since June 1994, the start of the fiscal year, the Federal Reserve raised
short-term interest rates three times, most recently in February 1995. All told,
the Fed raised rates seven times since February 1994, driving up money market
yields, which tend to track the movement of short-term interest rates. Rates
subsequently rose across the maturity spectrum -- even long-term rates, whose
rise was fueled by heavy selling among bond investors. The Federal Reserve's
actions were meant to brake economic growth and keep inflation at bay. Indeed,
during the 12-month period, higher interest rates raised borrowing costs, which
helped curb spending on a variety of items, including cars and houses. By
November, the evidence pointing toward slowing economic growth convinced
investors that inflation was not a threat, and long-term interest rates began to
ease, narrowing the gap between short- and long-term interest rates.
Even though longer-term interest rates have been moving down for eight
months, money market investors have continued to receive relatively attractive
levels of income because short-term rates remained essentially flat for much of
this period. In the final months of the fiscal year, short-term rates also began
to fall. Still, your Fund's current yield as of June 30, 1995, remained markedly
higher than it was a year ago. Just recently, however, short-term rates received
an additional downward push: Less than a week after the close of your Fund's
fiscal year, the Federal Reserve lowered short-term interest rates for the first
time since 1993 in an effort to keep the economy from slowing too abruptly. If
inflation and economic growth remain subdued, further short-term rate cuts could
occur in the months ahead.

Portfolio Review
The Fund invests chiefly in U.S. Treasury securities, which carry the full
faith and credit backing of the U.S. government, making them the highest-quality
investments available. (Non-U.S. government money funds invest in traditional
money market instruments, such as bank certificates of deposit and corporate
commercial paper.) Treasuries provide the Fund with an extra measure of safety
above that of conventional money funds, which already are considered among the
most conservative of investments. Moreover, the income generated by Treasury
securities is exempt from both state and local income taxes, though not from
federal taxes.
While U.S. Treasury bills and notes constituted the bulk of the portfolio
- -- 65% at year-end -- the Fund also invested in select repurchase agreements
(repos), a form of short-term loan that typically provides a yield advantage
over money market instruments with comparable maturities. Specifically, we
invested in repos with maturities of three to four days that are collateralized
by U.S. Treasuries. Because these holdings feature exceedingly short maturities,
they allow the portfolio to help meet shareholder liquidity needs while also
taking advantage of more attractive investment opportunities as they become
available.
As for the overall maturity structure of the portfolio, the Fund began the
fiscal year with an average maturity of 48 days. During much of the period, we
kept the average maturity relatively short to continue capturing income from
higher-yielding instruments as rates remained on an upward slope. In fact, we
maintained this strategy even as short-term rates leveled off in 1995, because
we did not want to rule out the possibility of further Fed rate hikes until we
saw sufficient evidence of economic weakness. But as that evidence mounted in
the final months of the fiscal year, we gradually lengthened maturities to lock
in the more attractive prevailing yields as short-term rates began to fall. The
average maturity of the portfolio at the end of the period was 55 days.

<PAGE>
Outlook
For several months now an array of economic indicators have pointed to
weakening U.S. economic growth and confirmed earlier readings that inflation
levels are tame. As such, we continue to favor relatively longer money market
maturities because of their yield advantage over shorter maturities. However, we
are mindful that the possibility also exists of a pick-up in economic growth and
inflation, consistent with a late-cycle rebound. Consequently, we intend to
maintain a cautiously bullish stance on rates going forward, and have begun to
emphasize the mid-range of maturities to allow for investment flexibility and
what we believe is an optimal combination of attractive yield and price
stability. Thank you for choosing Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund to help meet
your cash management needs.
Sincerely,
Your Portfolio Management Team

more than 20 years of experience managing short-term fixed-income assets and is
also Lead Portfolio Manager for Scudder Cash Investment Trust. Portfolio Manager
Robert E. Pruyne has filled many important roles in Scudder's fixed-income
department since he joined the firm in 1958. Portfolio Manager Stephen L. Akers
joined the Fund's team in 1994 and has managed several fixed-income portfolios
since joining Scudder in 1984. Steve also serves as a Portfolio Manager for
Scudder Cash Investment Trust. Portfolio Manager Debra A. Hanson, who joined
Scudder in 1983, assists with the development and execution of investment
strategy and has been managing short-term fixed income assets since 1989.

A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund (the "Fund") is organized as a Massachusetts
business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. 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. Portfolio securities which have remaining maturities of
sixty days or less are valued by the amortized cost method permitted in
accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available and which have
remaining maturities of sixty-one days or more from the date of valuation are
valued at the calculated mean between the over-the-counter bid and asked
prices, using quotations supplied by independent registered broker/dealers. On
the sixtieth day prior to maturity and thereafter until maturity, securities
originally purchased with more than sixty days remaining to maturity are valued
at amortized cost calculated daily, based upon the market valuation of the
securities on the sixty-first day prior to maturity. Other securities are
appraised at fair value as determined in good faith by or on behalf of the
Trustees of the Fund. Repurchase agreements are valued at identified cost
which, when combined with accrued interest receivable, approximates market.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with
certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund, through its custodian,
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 at
such a level that the market value, depending on the maturity of the repurchase
agreement and the underlying collateral, is equal to at least 100.5% of the
resale price.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code which are applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. The
Fund accordingly paid no federal income taxes and no provision for federal
income taxes was required.

SCUDDER U.S. TREASURY MONEY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distribution of Income and Gains. All of the net investment income of the Fund
is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record as of twelve o'clock noon
on each business day and is paid to shareholders monthly. During any particular
year, net realized gains from investment transactions, in excess of available
capital loss carryforwards, would be taxable to the Fund if not distributed
and, therefore, will be distributed to shareholders. An additional distribution
may be made to the extent necessary to avoid the payment of a four percent
federal excise tax.
The Fund uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss
on investments for both financial and federal income tax reporting purposes.
OTHER. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis
(which in most instances, is the same as the settlement date). Interest income
is accrued pro rata to maturity. All premiums and discounts are
amortized/accreted for both tax and financial reporting purposes.
B. RELATED PARTIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Under the Investment Management Agreement (the "Management Agreement") with
Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc. (the "Adviser"), the Fund agrees to pay the
Adviser a fee equal to an annual rate of 0.50% of its average daily net assets
computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. As manager of the assets of the
Fund, the Adviser directs the investments of the Fund in accordance with its
investment objectives, policies, and restrictions. The Adviser determines the
securities, instruments, and other contracts relating to investments to be
purchased, sold or entered into by the Fund. In addition to portfolio
management services, the Adviser provides certain administrative services in
accordance with the Management Agreement. The Agreement also provides that if
the Fund's expenses, exclusive of taxes, interest and extraordinary expenses,
exceed specified limits, such excess, up to the amount of the management fee,
will be paid by the Adviser. The Adviser has agreed not to impose all or a
portion of its management fee until October 31, 1995, and during such period to
maintain the annualized expenses of the Fund at not more than 0.65% of average
daily net assets. Accordingly, for the year ended June 30, 1995, the Adviser
did not impose a portion of its fees amounting to $967,383, and the portion
imposed amounted to $939,421, of which $58,718 is unpaid at June 30, 1995.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scudder Service Corporation ("SSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser,
is the transfer, dividend paying and shareholder service agent for the Fund.
For the year ended June 30, 1995, the amount charged to the Fund by SSC
aggregated $988,611, of which $87,962 is unpaid at June 30, 1995.
Effective August 1, 1994, Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation ("SFAC"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, assumed responsibility for determining
the daily net asset value per share and maintaining the portfolio and general
accounting records of the Fund. For the year ended June 30, 1995, the amount
charged to the Fund by SFAC aggregated $45,175, of which $4,307 is unpaid at
June 30, 1995.
The Fund pays each Trustee not affiliated with the Adviser $4,000 annually
plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings. For the year
ended June 30, 1995, Trustees' fees aggregated $27,872.

TO THE TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF SCUDDER U.S. TREASURY MONEY FUND:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Scudder
U.S. Treasury Money Fund, including the investment portfolio, as of June 30,
1995, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period
then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the ten years in the
period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned as of June 30, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Scudder U.S. Treasury Money Fund as of June 30, 1995, the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each
of the ten years in the period then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Celebrating Over 75 Years of Serving Investors
Established in 1919 by Theodore Scudder, Sidney Stevens, and F. Haven
Clark, Scudder, Stevens & Clark was the first independent investment counsel
firm in the United States. Since its birth, Scudder's pioneering spirit and
commitment to professional long-term investment management have helped shape the
investment industry. In 1928, we introduced the nation's first no-load mutual
fund. Today we offer 36 pure no load(TM) funds, including the first
international mutual fund offered to U.S. investors.
Over the years, Scudder's global investment perspective and dedication to
research and fundamental investment disciplines have helped us become one of the
largest and most respected investment managers in the world. Though times have
changed since our beginnings, we remain committed to our long-standing
principles: managing money with integrity and distinction; keeping the interests
of our clients first; providing access to investments and markets that may not
be easily available to individuals; and making investing as simple and
convenient as possible through friendly, comprehensive service.

A policy of insurance covering Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc.,
its affiliates including Scudder Investor Services, Inc., and
all of the registered investment companies advised by Scudder,
Stevens & Clark, Inc., insures the Registrant's directors and
officers and others against liability arising by reason of an
alleged breach of duty caused by any negligent act, error or
accidental omission in the scope of their duties.
Article IV of Registrant's Declaration of Trust states as
follows:
Section 4.1. No Personal Liability of Shareholders, Trustees,
Etc.
No Shareholder shall be subject to any personal liability
whatsoever to any Person in connection with Trust Property or
the acts, obligations or affairs of the Trust. No Trustee,
officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall be subject to
any personal liability whatsoever to any Person, other than to
the Trust or its Shareholders, in connection with Trust
Property or the affairs of the Trust, save only that arising
from bad faith, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or
reckless disregard of his duties with respect to such Person;
and all such Persons shall look solely to the Trust Property
for satisfaction of claims of any nature arising in connection
with the affairs of the Trust. If any Shareholder, Trustee,
officer, employee, or agent, as such, of the Trust, is made a
party to any suit or proceeding to enforce any such liability
of the Trust, he shall not, on account thereof, be held to any
personal liability. The Trust shall indemnify and hold each
Shareholder harmless from and against all claims and
liabilities, to which such Shareholder may become subject by
reason of his being or having been a Shareholder, and shall
reimburse such Shareholder for all legal and other expenses
reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claim
or liability. The indemnification and reimbursement required
by the preceding sentence shall be made only out of the assets
Part C - Page 4
<PAGE>
of the one or more Series of which the Shareholder who is
entitled to indemnification or reimbursement was a Shareholder
at the time the act or event occurred which gave rise to the
claim against or liability of said Shareholder. The rights
accruing to a Shareholder under this Section 4.1 shall not
impair any other right to which such Shareholder may be
lawfully entitled, nor shall anything herein contained
restrict the right of the Trust to indemnify or reimburse a
Shareholder in any appropriate situation even though not
specifically provided herein.
Section 4.2. Non-Liability of Trustees, Etc.
No Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall be
liable to the Trust, its Shareholders, or to any Shareholder,
Trustee, officer, employee, or agent thereof for any action or
failure to act (including without limitation the failure to
compel in any way any former or acting Trustee to redress any
breach of trust) except for his own bad faith, willful
misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the
duties involved in the conduct of his office.
Section 4.3. Mandatory Indemnification.
(a) Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in
paragraph (b) below:
(i) every person who is, or has been, a Trustee or
officer of the Trust shall be indemnified by the
Trust to the fullest extent permitted by law
against all liability and against all expenses
reasonably incurred or paid by him in connection
with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in
which he becomes involved as a party or otherwise
by virtue of his being or having been a Trustee
or officer and against amounts paid or incurred
by him in the settlement thereof;
(ii)the words "claim," "action," "suit," or
"proceeding" shall apply to all claims, actions,
suits or proceedings (civil, criminal,
administrative, or other, including appeals),
actual or threatened; and the words "liability"
and "expenses" shall include, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid
in settlement, fines, penalties and other
liabilities.
(b) No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a
Trustee or officer:
(i) against any liability to the Trust, a Series
thereof, or the Shareholders by reason of a final
adjudication by a court or any other body before
which a proceeding was brought that he engaged in
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence
or reckless disregard of the duties involved in
the conduct of his office;
(ii)with respect to any matter as to which he shall
have been finally adjudicated not to have acted
in good faith in the reasonable belief that his
action was in the best interest of the Trust;
(iii) in the event of a settlement or other
disposition not involving a final adjudication as
provided in paragraph (b)(i) or (b)(ii) resulting
in a payment by a Trustee or officer, unless
there has been a determination that such Trustee
or officer did not engage in willful misfeasance,
bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of the duties involved in the conduct of his
office:
(A) by the court or other body approving the
settlement or other disposition; or
(B) based upon a review of readily available
facts (as opposed to a full trial-type

(provided that a majority of the
Disinterested Trustees then in office act on
the matter) or (y) written opinion of

(c) The rights of indemnification herein provided may be
insured against by policies maintained by the Trust, shall
be severable, shall not affect any other rights to which
any Trustee or officer may now or hereafter be entitled,
shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be such
Trustee or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors, administrators and assigns of such a
person. Nothing contained herein shall affect any rights
to indemnification to which personnel of the Trust other
than Trustees and officers may be entitled by contract or
otherwise under law.
(d) Expenses of preparation and presentation of a defense to
any claim, action, suit or proceeding of the character
described in paragraph (a) of this Section 4.3 may be
advanced by the Trust prior to final disposition thereof
upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
recipient, to repay such amount if it is ultimately
determined that he is not entitled to indemnification
under this Section 4.3, provided that either:
(i) such undertaking is secured by a surety bond or some
other appropriate security provided by the recipient,
or the Trust shall be insured against losses arising
out of any such advances; or
(ii) a majority of the Disinterested Trustees acting on
the matter (providing that a majority of the
Disinterested Trustees act on the matter) or an
independent legal counsel in a written opinion shall
determine, based upon a review of readily available
facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that
there is reason to believe that the recipient
ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.
As used in this Section 4.3, a "Disinterested Trustee" is one
who is not (i) an Interested Person of the Trust (including
anyone who has been exempted from being an Interested Person
by any rule, regulation or order of the Commission, or (ii)
involved in the claim, action, suit or proceeding.

performance of its duties hereunder. The Fund agrees that FUND
ACCOUNTING shall not be liable under this Agreement for any error of
judgment or mistake of law made in good faith and consistent with the
foregoing standard of care, provided that nothing in this Agreement
shall be deemed to protect or purport to protect FUND ACCOUNTING
against any liability to the Fund, the Portfolio or its shareholders
to which FUND ACCOUNTING would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its
duties, or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and
duties hereunder.
The Fund agrees, on behalf of the Portfolio, to indemnify and hold
harmless FUND ACCOUNTING and its employees, agents and nominees from
all taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, claims and liabilities
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred or assessed against
them in connection with the performance of this Agreement, except such
as may arise from their own negligent action, negligent failure to act
or willful misconduct. The foregoing notwithstanding, FUND ACCOUNTING
will in no event be liable for any loss resulting from the acts,
omissions, lack of financial responsibility, or failure to perform the
obligations of any person or organization designated by the Fund to be
the authorized agent of the Portfolio as a party to any transactions.

however, FUND ACCOUNTING in its discretion may make and retain copies
of any and all such records and documents which it determines
appropriate or for its protection.

deemed to be exclusive, and it is understood that FUND ACCOUNTING may
perform fund accounting services for others. In acting under this
Agreement, FUND ACCOUNTING shall be an independent contractor and not
an agent of the Fund or the Portfolio.
