PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
No one wants to pay more taxes than they have to. But a recent survey of
500 U.S. households, conducted by Fidelity and Yankelovich Partners, showed
that few people took steps to reduce their taxes under the new tax laws
that went into effect last year. In fact, many people were not completely
aware of the changes until they filed their 1993 tax returns.
Whether or not you're someone whose tax bill increased as a result of these
changes, it may make sense to consider ways to keep more of what you earn.
First, if your employer offers a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement savings plan,
consider enrolling. These plans are set up so you can make regular
contributions -
before taxes - to a retirement savings plan. They offer a disciplined
savings strategy, the ability to accumulate earnings tax-deferred, and
immediate tax savings. For example, if you earn $40,000 a year and
contribute 7% of your salary to your 401(k) plan, your annual contribution
is $2,800. That reduces your taxable income to $37,200 and, if you're in
the
28% tax bracket, saves you $784 in federal taxes. In addition, you pay no
taxes on any earnings until withdrawal.
It may be a good idea to contact your benefits office as soon as possible
to find out when you can enroll or increase your contribution. Most
employers allow employees to make changes only a few times each year.
Second, consider an IRA. Many people are eligible to make an IRA
contribution (up to $2,000) that is fully tax deductible. That includes
people who are not covered by company pension plans, or those within
certain income brackets. Even if you don't qualify for a fully deductible
contribution, any IRA earnings will grow tax-deferred until withdrawal.
Third, consider your tax-free investments, such as municipal bonds or
municipal bond funds. Often these can provide higher after-tax yields than
comparable taxable investments. For example, if you're in the new 36%
federal income tax bracket and invest $10,000 in a taxable investment
yielding 7%, you'll pay $252 in federal taxes and receive $448 in income.
That same $10,000 invested in a tax-free bond fund yielding 5.5% would
allow you to keep $550 in income.
These are three investment strategies that could help lower your tax bill
in 1994. If you're interested in learning more, please call us at
1-800-544-8888 or visit a Fidelity Investor Center. We look forward to
talking with you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects the change in a fund's share price
over a given period, reinvestment of its dividends (or income) and the
effect of a $5 account closeout fee. Yield measures the income paid by a
fund. Since a money market fund tries to maintain a $1 share price, yield
is an important measure of performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain fund expenses during the periods shown, the total returns would
have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

Consumer Price Index 2.36% 19.74% 21.72%
Average All Taxable
Money Market Fund 2.74% 29.21% 32.28%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a set period - in
this case, one year, five years or since the fund started on January 23,
1989. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return
over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. Comparing the fund's
performance to the consumer price index (CPI) helps show how your
investment did compared to inflation. To measure how the fund stacked up
against its peers, you can compare its return to the average all taxable
money market fund's total returns. This average currently reflects the
performance of 648 taxable money market funds tracked by IBC/Donoghue. (The
periods covered by the CPI and IBC/Donoghue numbers are the closest
available match to those covered by the fund, but may vary slightly due to
reporting differences.)

YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual
percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or
compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's
current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the 7-day yield would
have been 3.50% for the period ended April 30, 1994. They are compared to
similar yields for the average all taxable money market fund and the
average bank money market deposit account (MMDA). Figures for the average
general purpose money market fund are from IBC/Donoghue. The MMDA average
is supplied by BANK RATE MONITOR.(double dagger) (Both figures are those
available closest to month end.)
A MONEY MARKET FUND'S TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS REFLECT PAST RESULTS RATHER
THAN PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
COMPARING
PERFORMANCE
There are some important
differences between a bank
money market deposit
account (MMDA) and a
money market fund. First, the
U.S. government neither
insures nor guarantees a
money market fund. In fact,
there is no assurance that a
money market fund will
maintain a $1 share price.
Second, a money market
fund returns to its
shareholders income earned
by the fund's investments
after expenses. This is in
contrast to banks, which set
their MMDA rates periodically
based on current interest
rates, competitors' rates, and
internal criteria.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with John Todd,
Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Money Market Fund
Q. JOHN, HOW HAVE SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATES BEHAVED OVER THE PAST YEAR?
A. Short-term rates moved within a narrow range from April 1993 through
January 1994. During that time, the Federal Reserve Board felt comfortable
maintaining a steady monetary policy. The federal funds rate remained at or
near 3.00%, where it had been since September 1992. But by February 1994,
the Fed was concerned that an improving economy might lead to higher
inflation. It responded by tightening monetary policy, raising the fed
funds rate to 3.75% in three separate moves from February through April. It
marked the first time in five years that the Fed had raised short-term
interest rates.
Q. HOW DID YOU POSITION THE FUND TO ROLL WITH THOSE CHANGES?
A. When rates were still relatively stable through late summer and early
fall, I kept the fund's average maturity on the long side - roughly 70 to
80 days. During that time, I still was able to take advantage of the higher
yields available by purchasing issues with longer maturities. By January,
however, I felt that the economy had more momentum than many people
thought. Also, I expected inflation worries to soon play a bigger role in
the Fed's interest rate policy. All of this caused me to shorten the fund's
average maturity from 87 days at the end of December to 68 days by the end
of January. Because I felt further Fed rate hikes would follow on the heels
of the first, I shortened the average maturity to 56 days by the end of
March. In April, I took advantage of some of the more attractive yields
that came to market after the rate hikes. That buying activity lengthened
the average maturity to 58 days by the end of the period.
Q. SO HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. On April 30, 1994, the fund's seven-day yield was 3.58%, compared to
3.01% at the end of October and 3.08% on April 30, 1993. The recent rise in
yield reflects the Fed's rate increases. The fund's total return for the 12
months ended April 30 was 3.13%. That beat the average total return for all
taxable money market funds tracked by IBC/Donoghue during the same period,
which was 2.74%.
Q. HOW DO YOU SEE THE NEXT SIX MONTHS SHAPING UP?
A. Rather than trying to stimulate the economy as it did in 1993, the Fed
is now adopting a "neutral" stance on interest rates. It's difficult to
define "neutral," but I think a fed funds rate of around 4.50% may be close
- - - - remember, it was 3.75% at the end of April. Once the Fed has achieved
this goal, it may pause and reassess economic growth. Eventually, however,
I expect rates could resume rising. I plan to keep the fund's average
maturity in the 50- to 70-day range for the near future. That should give
me the flexibility to respond to rising rates, while allowing me to capture
a portion of the higher yields available from issues with longer
maturities.
Q. IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF RISING RATES?
A. Yes, the fund had a 19% stake in variable- and floating-rate securities
at the end of April. I'll probably keep that level steady, based on the
availability of attractively priced issues. The advantage of variable-rate
instruments comes in the form of stated, periodic interest rate resets. The
frequency of these resets can be negotiated - for example, they often
happen weekly, monthly or quarterly. When rates rise, the fund can obtain a
higher stated interest rate on these issues at their reset intervals.

WORDS TO KNOW
BANKERS' ACCEPTANCE (BA): A
short-term note whose
payment is guaranteed by a
bank.
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT (CD): An
interest-bearing deposit with a
specific maturity. Large
denomination CDs, like the
fund buys, have negotiable
interest rates and can be sold
in the secondary market.
COMMERCIAL PAPER: A
short-term note from a bank or
corporation.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The interest
rate banks charge each other
for overnight loans.
MATURITY: The time remaining
before an issuer is scheduled
to repay the principal amount
on a debt security. When the
fund's average maturity,
weighted by dollar amount, is
short, the fund manager is
expecting rates to fall. When
the average maturity is
neutral, the manager wants
the flexibility to respond to
rising rates, while still
capturing a portion of the
higher yields available from
issues with longer maturities.
TIME DEPOSIT (TD): An
interest-bearing deposit with a
specific maturity. Large
denomination TDs, like the
fund buys, differ from CDs in
that they can't be sold in the
secondary market.

For the period ended April 30, 1994
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan Money Market Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Summer Street
Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and
thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective May 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of April 30, 1993 have been reclassified to reflect
an increase in paid in capital and a decrease in accumulated net realized
gain on investments of $511,000.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible
for
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - CONTINUED
determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at least
equal to the resale price.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other registered
investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may transfer
uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are
invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by
U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in privately placed
restricted securities. These securities may be resold in transactions
exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and
expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the
end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted
to $245,000,000 or 3.8% of net assets.
3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR pays all expenses
except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and certain
exceptions such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses. FMR receives a fee that is computed daily at an annual rate of
.30% of the fund's average net assets, plus 6% of that portion of gross
income that represents a gross yield in excess of 5%. The maximum fee rate
cannot exceed .60% of the fund's average net assets for the month. In
addition, through December 31, 1995, FMR has agreed to limit the fund's
total operating expenses to an annual rate of .45% of average net assets.
On March 23, 1994, the shareholders of the fund voted to approve a proposal
to amend the management contract replacing the variable management fee
described above with a fixed flat fee of .45% of average net assets. The
new contract went into effect April 1, 1994 and will continue through May
31, 1994, subject to continuation by the fund's Board of Trustees. For the
period, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .32% of
average net assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. For
the period, FMR or its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from
shareholders which aggregated $321,675.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the fund's investment sub-adviser, FMR Texas Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the
management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any voluntary
expense reimbursements which may be in effect, and after reducing the fee
for any payments by FMR pursuant to the fund's Distribution and Service
Plan.
4. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
Effective April 1, 1994, FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the fund's
management fee above an annual rate of .37% of average net assets until
further notice. For the period, the reimbursement reduced the expenses by
$398,000. Effective May 1, 1994, this expense limitation was increased to
.39% of average net assets.
5. SHAREHOLDER MEETING.
At a special meeting of the shareholders of the fund held on March 23,
1994, shareholders approved amendments to certain fundamental investment
limitations of the fund.
In addition, shareholders approved an Agreement and Plan of Conversion and
Termination (the Plan of Conversion), providing for the conversion of the
fund (the current fund) from a separate series of Fidelity Summer Street
Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, to a separate series (the successor
fund) of Fidelity Hereford Street Trust, a Delaware business trust,
effective June 17, 1994. The individual investment objective, policies and
limitations of the successor fund will be identical to those of the current
fund. In connection with the Plan of Conversion, a new management contract,
new sub-advisory agreement and new distribution plan identical to those
currently in effect for the current fund will take effect on June 17, 1994.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Summer Street Trust and the Shareholders of
Spartan
Money Market Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Fidelity Summer Street Trust: Spartan Money Market Fund, including the
schedule of portfolio investments, as of April 30, 1994, 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 five 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 April 30, 1994 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers. 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 Fidelity Summer Street Trust: Spartan Money Market Fund, 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 five years in the period then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
No one wants to pay more taxes than they have to. But a recent survey of
500 U.S. households, conducted by Fidelity and Yankelovich Partners, showed
that few people took steps to reduce their taxes under the new tax laws
that went into effect last year. In fact, many people were not completely
aware of the changes until they filed their 1993 tax returns.
Whether or not you're someone whose tax bill increased as a result of these
changes, it may make sense to consider ways to keep more of what you earn.
First, if your employer offers a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement savings plan,
consider enrolling. These plans are set up so you can make regular
contributions -
before taxes - to a retirement savings plan. They offer a disciplined
savings strategy, the ability to accumulate earnings tax-deferred, and
immediate tax savings. For example, if you earn $40,000 a year and
contribute 7% of your salary to your 401(k) plan, your annual contribution
is $2,800. That reduces your taxable income to $37,200 and, if you're in
the
28% tax bracket, saves you $784 in federal taxes. In addition, you pay no
taxes on any earnings until withdrawal.
It may be a good idea to contact your benefits office as soon as possible
to find out when you can enroll or increase your contribution. Most
employers allow employees to make changes only a few times each year.
Second, consider an IRA. Many people are eligible to make an IRA
contribution (up to $2,000) that is fully tax deductible. That includes
people who are not covered by company pension plans, or those within
certain income brackets. Even if you don't qualify for a fully deductible
contribution, any IRA earnings will grow tax-deferred until withdrawal.
Third, consider tax-free investments,
like municipal bonds or municipal bond funds. Often these can provide
higher after-tax yields than comparable taxable investments. For example,
if you're in the new 36% federal income tax bracket and invest $10,000 in a
taxable investment yielding 7%, you'll pay $252 in federal taxes and
receive $448 in income. That same $10,000 invested in a tax-free bond fund
yielding 5.5% would allow you to keep $550 in income.
These are three investment strategies that could help lower your tax bill
in 1994. If you're interested in learning more, please call us at
1-800-544-8888 or visit a Fidelity Investor Center. We look forward to
talking with you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects the change in a fund's share price
over a given period, reinvestment of its dividends (or income) and the
effect of a $5 account closeout fee. Yield measures the income paid by a
fund. Since a money market fund tries to maintain a $1 share price, yield
is an important measure of performance. If Fidelity had not voluntarily
reimbursed the fund for expenses during the period, the total returns would
have been lower.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a set period - in
this case, one year, or since the fund started on February 5, 1990. For
example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the
past year, you would end up with $1,050. Comparing the fund's performance
to the consumer price index (CPI) helps show how your investment did
compared to inflation. To measure how the fund stacked up against its
peers, you can compare its return to the average government money market
fund's total returns. This average currently reflects the performance of
201 government money market funds tracked by IBC/Donoghue. The periods
covered by the CPI and IBC/Donoghue numbers are the closest available match
to those covered by the fund.

YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual
percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or
compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's
current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. This is
compared to similar yields for the average government money market fund and
the average bank money market deposit account (MMDA). Figures for the
average government money market fund are from IBC/Donoghue. The MMDA
average is supplied by BANK RATE MONITOR.(double dagger) (Both figures are
those available closest to month end.)
A MONEY MARKET FUND'S TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS REFLECT PAST RESULTS RATHER
THAN PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
COMPARING
PERFORMANCE
There are some important
differences between a bank
money market deposit
account (MMDA) and a
money market fund. First, the
U.S. government neither
insures nor guarantees a
money market fund. In fact,
there is no assurance that a
money market fund will
maintain a $1 share price.
Second, a money market
fund returns to its
shareholders income earned
by the fund's investments
after expenses. This is in
contrast to banks, which set
their MMDA rates periodically
based on current interest
rates, competitors' rates, and
internal criteria.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Leland Barron, Portfolio Manager of Spartan U.S.
Government Money Market Fund
Q. LELAND, BRING US UP TO SPEED ON THE MOVEMENTS IN SHORT-TERM INTEREST
RATES OVER THE PAST YEAR.
A. Short-term interest rates moved within a narrow range from April 1993
through January 1994. During that time, the Federal Reserve Board was
content to keep the federal funds rate - the rate banks charge each other
for overnight loans - at 3.00%, where it had been since September 1992. But
all of that changed on February 4, when the Fed raised the fed funds rate
to 3.25%, its first rate hike in five years. And two more quarter of a
percentage point increases followed in March and April. These moves had the
effect of raising most short-term interest rates.
Q. GIVEN THOSE CHANGES, WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY?
A. I kept the fund's average maturity in a fairly aggressive range -
usually 65 to 75 days - during the fall months. Back then, I locked in some
higher yields that were available while rates were stable or drifting
slightly higher. However, by the end of December, I felt that inflation
worries triggered by the improving economy might lead the Fed to push up
short-term rates. To give the fund more flexibility, I reduced its average
maturity to 61 days by the end of December.
Q. HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED WHEN THE FED RAISED RATES?
A. The fund's average maturity was 63 days at the end of January. In
hindsight, I wish it had been a bit shorter. By mid-January, I felt the Fed
might wait to see if the nation's strong fourth quarter economic growth was
sustainable before it raised rates. So when the Fed made its so-called
preemptive strike against inflation at the beginning of February, it came
as something of a surprise. However, immediately after the Fed's move, I
began preparing the fund for even higher rates. I reduced its average
maturity to 44 days by the end of February. By March 31, the average
maturity had crept up slightly - to 50 days - because I had purchased some
higher-yielding instruments that became available after the rise in
interest rates. But I didn't allow the average maturity to move any higher
because I was anticipating further Fed rate hikes; it was 48 days at the
end of April.
Q. SO HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund's seven-day yield was 3.34% on April 30, 1994, compared to
2.77% at the end of October and 2.73% at the end of April 1993. In part,
the most recent rise reflected the three Fed rate hikes. For the year ended
April 30, 1994, the fund had a total return of 2.88%. The average
government money market fund tracked by IBC/Donoghue returned 2.63% during
the same period.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR THINKING ON THE MARKET FOR THE COMING MONTHS?
A. Because the Fed appears intent on keeping inflation in check, I think
short-term interest rates are likely to rise over the next several months.
But the Fed lowered rates gradually, and I expect it to take the same
approach toward raising rates. That's why I plan to keep the fund's average
maturity in the 45- to 55-day range for a while. That should give the fund
a defensive posture while still allowing me to go after higher-yielding
issues when they become available. In addition, I'll look for opportunities
to purchase more variable and floating rate instruments, which made up
10.50% of the fund's investments on April 30. What makes them attractive is
a feature that resets their coupons (stated interest rates) at fixed
intervals. So when rates are rising, the fund can obtain a higher coupon on
these issues at their reset intervals.

WORDS TO KNOW
AGENCY ISSUE: Debt security
issued by a government
agency, such as the Federal
National Mortgage Association
(Fannie Mae). Although their
credit ratings are high, most
agency issues are not backed
by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. government.
AVERAGE MATURITY: The average
maturity of debt securities in a
fund, weighted by dollar
amount. When the average
maturity is short, the fund
manager believes interest
rates will rise. When the
average maturity is long, the
fund manager is expecting
rates to fall.
DISCOUNT RATE: The interest rate
the Federal Reserve charges
member banks for loans.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The interest
rate banks charge each other
for overnight loans.
MATURITY: The amount of time
remaining before a debt
security is scheduled to be
redeemed.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT:
Agreement between a seller
and a buyer in which the seller
promises to repurchase a block
of securities at a set price and
time. Also known as a "repo."
TREASURY OBLIGATION: Debt
security issued directly by the
U.S. government. Payment of
principal and interest are
guaranteed.

For the period ended April 30, 1994
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Summer Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and
thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between
the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible
for determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at
least equal to the resale price.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund is permitted to engage in reverse
repurchase agreements for temporary purposes when it is able to invest the
cash so acquired at a rate higher than the cost related to the agreement.
The fund engaged in reverse repurchase agreements during the period earning
net interest income of $47,666 which is included in Interest Income on the
Statement of Operations.
3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR pays all expenses
except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and certain
3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
exceptions such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses. FMR receives a fee that is computed daily at an annual rate of
.55% of the fund's average net assets.
On March 23, 1994, the shareholders of the fund voted to approve a proposal
that would amend the management contract by reducing the fee rate to .45%
of the fund's average net assets. The new contract went into effect April
1, 1994 and will continue through May 31, 1994, subject to the continuation
by the fund's Board of Trustees.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. For
the period, FMR or its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from
shareholders which aggregated $49,506.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the fund's investment sub-adviser, FMR Texas Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the
management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any voluntary
expense reimbursements which may be in effect, and after reducing the fee
for any payments by FMR pursuant to the fund's Distribution and Service
Plan.
4. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
For the period May 1, 1993 to March 31, 1994, FMR voluntarily agreed to
reimburse the fund's operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) above an annual rate of
.45% of average net assets. For the period, the reimbursement reduced the
expenses by $736,316.
5. SHAREHOLDER MEETING.
At a special meeting of the shareholders of the fund held on March 23,
1994, shareholders approved amendments to certain fundamental investment
limitations of the fund.
In addition, shareholders approved an Agreement and Plan of Conversion and
Termination (the Plan of Conversion), providing for the conversion of the
fund (the current fund) from a separate series of Fidelity Summer Street
Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, to a separate series (the successor
fund) of Fidelity Hereford Street Trust, a Delaware business trust,
effective June 17, 1994. The individual investment objective, policies and
limitations of the successor fund will be identical to those of the current
fund. In connection with the Plan of Conversion, a new management contract,
new sub-advisory agreement and new distribution plan identical to those
currently in effect for the current fund will take effect on June 17, 1994.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Summer
Street Trust and the Shareholders of
Spartan U.S. Government Money
Market Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Fidelity Summer Street Trust: Spartan U.S. Government Money Market Fund,
including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of April 30, 1994, 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 four years in the period then
ended and for the period February 5, 1990 (commencement of operations) to
April 30, 1990. 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 April 30, 1994 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers. 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 Spartan U.S. Government Money Market Fund, 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 four years in the period then ended and for the period February 5, 1990
(commencement of operations) to April 30, 1990, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
