Dear Shareholder:
Turmoil has been the watchword for the world's securities markets in 2008, with domestic and international stocks down sharply amid the global credit squeeze. A flight to quality boosted returns for U.S. Treasuries, one of the few asset classes with positive results heading into the latter stages of the year. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There are tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. The more you sell, the more taxes you pay, and the more you trade, the higher the costs. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third investment principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces unconstructive "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or over the phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (June 1, 2008 to November 30, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
Annual Report
| Annualized Expense Ratio | Beginning Account Value June 1, 2008 | Ending Account Value November 30, 2008 | Expenses Paid During Period* June 1, 2008 to November 30, 2008 |

Actual | | $ 1,000.00 | $ 965.30 | $ 2.36 |
HypotheticalA | | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,022.60 | $ 2.43 |
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund | .49% | | | |
Actual | | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,007.80 | $ 2.46** |
HypotheticalA | | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,022.55 | $ 2.48** |
A 5% return per year before expenses
* Expenses are equal to each Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).
** If fees to participate in the U.S. Department of Treasury's Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds paid in October and December, 2008 (see Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements) had been in effect during the entire period, the annualized expense ratio for Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund would have been .52% and the expenses paid in the actual and hypothetical examples above would have been $2.61 and $2.63, respectively.

Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns

Comments from Mark Sommer, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Connecticut Municipal Income Fund
Municipal bonds suffered losses during the year ending November 30, 2008, hurt by a growing risk aversion that spread rapidly across the global financial markets. While lower-quality municipals were hit first, insured bonds - most rated AAA at the time - came under pressure shortly thereafter in response to investor concerns about the financial strength of bond insurers. All major municipal bond insurers were hurt by their exposure, via other business lines, to securities backed by subprime mortgages. In early 2008, the market for tax-exempt auction-rate securities seized up, giving the muni market a well-publicized black eye. This led to a surge in supply, as issuers scrambled to refinance their auction-rate debt, putting downward pressure on muni bond prices. The loss of independent muni dealers - including Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and Wachovia - led to further disruption, as did the selling by leveraged investors to cover losses and meet investor redemptions. For the 12 months overall, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index - a performance measure of more than 44,000 investment-grade, fixed-rate, tax-exempt bonds - fell 3.61%. The overall taxable debt market, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, returned 1.74%.
For the year ending November 30, 2008, the fund returned -2.06% and the Barclays Capital Connecticut 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index returned -1.91%. The fund lagged its benchmark in part due to my decision to overweight insured bonds, which came under pressure amid an uncertain outlook for bond insurers. In particular, out-of-index exposure to insured bonds issued in Puerto Rico cost the fund some ground because they were among the muni market's poorest performers, due to credit weakness driven by the U.S. territory's economic and fiscal challenges. Sector selection generally proved beneficial, especially my decision to underweight bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). These securities - particularly those in the housing and utility segments - performed poorly in large measure because individual investors' demand for them virtually evaporated. Housing bonds lagged the overall Connecticut muni market on a duration-adjusted basis - meaning after taking into account differences in their interest rate sensitivity - faltering in response to a growing litany of concerns surrounding the housing market. Many utility bonds also were hurt because one or more of their structural features - meaning coupon, maturity or other factors - proved unpopular during the period.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Investment Changes (Unaudited)
Top Five Sectors as of November 30, 2008 |
| % of fund's net assets | % of fund's net assets 6 months ago |
General Obligations | 35.9 | 36.1 |
Special Tax | 18.1 | 17.2 |
Water & Sewer | 11.3 | 9.7 |
Education | 10.9 | 7.4 |
Health Care | 7.2 | 8.2 |
Weighted Average Maturity as of November 30, 2008 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 11.5 | 7.3 |
The weighted average maturity is based on the dollar-weighted average length of time until principal payments are expected or until securities reach maturity, taking into account any maturity shortening feature such as a call, refunding or redemption provision. |
Duration as of November 30, 2008 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 7.6 | 6.6 |
Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example. |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended November 30, 2008
1. Organization.
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Income Fund (the Income Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Court Street Trust. Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund (the Money Market Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Court Street Trust II. Each trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. Fidelity Court Street Trust and Fidelity Court Street Trust II (the trusts) are organized as a Massachusetts business trust and a Delaware statutory trust, respectively. The Income Fund is a non-diversified fund. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Each Fund may be affected by economic and political developments in the state of Connecticut.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Funds' Schedules of Investments list each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of each Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Funds' Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Wherever possible, each Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value their investments. For the Income Fund, debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider

Security Valuation - continued
yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Actual prices received at disposition may differ.
As permitted by compliance with certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, securities owned by the Money Market Funds are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
The Funds are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Funds' fiscal year. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
Level 2 | Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. |
Level 3 | Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available. |

Security Valuation - continued
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy.
The aggregate value by input level, as of November 30, 2008, for each Fund's investments is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day for the Income Fund and trades executed through the end of the current business day for the Money Market Fund. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of each trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
The Board of Trustees of the Money Market Fund approved the participation by the Money Market Fund in the U.S. Treasury Department's Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the "Program") through April 30, 2009. Under the Program, if the Money Market Fund's market value per share drops below $0.995 on any day while the Program is in effect, shareholders of record on that date who also held shares in the Money Market Fund on September 19, 2008 may be eligible to receive a payment from the Treasury upon liquidation of the Money Market Fund. The Money Market Fund paid the U.S. Treasury Department a fee equal to 0.01% based on the number of shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008 to participate in the Program for the initial 3-month term that expires on December 18, 2008. On December 4, 2008, the Money Market Fund paid an additional fee equal to 0.015% based on the number of shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008 to participate in the extension of the Program through April 30, 2009. The fees are being amortized over the length of the participation in the Program. The expense is borne by the Money Market Fund without regard to any expense limitation currently in effect. The U.S. Treasury Department has the option to renew the Program through the close of business on September 19, 2009. If extended, the Board of Trustees

of the Money Market Fund will determine whether the Money Market Fund should continue participation in the Program and, if so, the Money Market Fund will incur additional participation fees.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Each Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Funds' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Income Fund will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount and deferred trustees compensation.
The Funds purchase municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of the issuer, is free from federal income tax. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will agree with this opinion. In the event the IRS determines that the issuer does not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Income Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), was issued and is effective for reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Funds invest in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance.
4. Operating Policies.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. Certain Funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments. Certain Funds may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Swap Agreements. The Income Fund entered into swap agreements, which are contracts between two parties to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount. Payments are exchanged at specified intervals, accrued daily commencing with the effective date of the contract and recorded as realized gains or losses in the Income Fund's accompanying Statement of Operations. Certain interest rate swaps include extended effective dates. Gains or losses are realized in the event of an early termination of a swap agreement. Risks of loss may include unfavorable changes in the returns of the underlying instruments or indexes, adverse fluctuations of interest rates, failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the agreement and lack of liquidity in the market. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with a fund's custodian bank in accordance with the swap agreement and if required, is identified. The Income Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral even though it is held in the Fund's custodian bank.

Swap Agreements - continued
Changes in interest rates can have a negative effect on both the value of the Income Fund's bond holdings as well as the amount of interest income earned. In general, the value of bonds can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. The Income Fund entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rate changes. Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates (e.g. fixed rate, floating rate), applied to a notional principal amount.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, for the Income Fund aggregated $128,476,600 and $68,104,682, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and a group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each Fund's average net assets. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, each Fund's annual management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each Fund's average net assets was as follows:
| Individual Rate | Group Rate | Total |
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Income Fund | .25% | .12% | .37% |
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund | .25% | .12% | .37% |
Transfer Agent and Accounting Fees. Citibank, N.A. (Citibank) is the custodian, transfer agent and shareholder servicing agent for the Funds. Citibank has entered into a sub-arrangement with Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, under which FIIOC performs the activities associated with the Funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent functions. The Funds pay account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Prior to January 1, 2008, Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC),

also an affiliate of FMR was the Funds' sub-transfer agent. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annual rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Income Fund | .07% |
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund | .11% |
Citibank also has a sub-arrangement with FSC under which FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Income Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro rata portion of the line of credit, which is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations, and is as follows:
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Income Fund | $ 918 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse Funds to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees and the fee for participating in the U.S. Treasury Department's Temporary Guarantee Program, are excluded from this reimbursement.
The following Funds were in reimbursement during the period:
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund | .48% | $ 233,235 |
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
8. Expense Reductions - continued
In addition, through arrangements with each applicable Fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable Fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.
| Custody expense reduction | Transfer Agent expense reduction | Accounting expense reduction |
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Income Fund | $ 6,594 | $ 170,212 | $ - |
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund | 30,961 | 1,451,099 | 52,750 |
9. Other.
The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
The supply of municipal money market securities has declined significantly due to the recent market volatility. Due to this limited supply of suitable investments in the marketplace, the Money Market Fund has significantly increased its cash position.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Income Fund (a fund of Fidelity Court Street Trust) and Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund (a fund of Fidelity Court Street Trust II) at November 30, 2008, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Court Street Trust's and Fidelity Court Street Trust II's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at November 30, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Income Fund / Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund
Each year, typically in June, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning and, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its June 2008 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. The Board also approved agreements with foreign sub-advisers Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc., Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc., and Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contracts is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that each fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the funds' investment personnel and the funds' investment objectives and disciplines. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers. In addition, the Board considered the trading resources that are an integrated part of the fixed-income portfolio management investment process.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency and pricing and bookkeeping services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
Annual Report
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's Institutional Money Market Funds and launching Class IV and Institutional Class of certain of these funds; (iii) reducing the transfer agent fees for the Fidelity Select Portfolios and Investor Class of the VIP funds; and (iv) launching Class K of 29 equity funds as a lower-fee class available to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans.
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's absolute investment performance, as well as each fund's relative investment performance measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index (bond fund only, as money market funds are typically not compared against a market index), and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. For each fund, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2007, the fund's cumulative total returns, the cumulative total returns of a broad-based securities market index ("benchmark") (bond fund only), and a range of cumulative total returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten number noted below each chart corresponds to the percentile box and represents the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the fund.

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of the fund was in the first quartile for all the periods shown. The Board also stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions that may be taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance.
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund
Annual Report
The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of the fund was in the first quartile for all the periods shown.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each fund will benefit each fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that each fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group" and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a TMG % of 27% would mean that 73% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than a fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Income Fund
Fidelity Connecticut Municipal Money Market Fund
The Board noted that each fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2007.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
Annual Report
In its review of each fund's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that each fund's total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2007.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's total expenses were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for each fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the results of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of each fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology, the profitability of certain fund service providers, and profitability trends for certain funds; (iv) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (v) Fidelity's fee structures; (vi) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (vii) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.
Annual Report
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Dear Shareholder:
Turmoil has been the watchword for the world's securities markets in 2008, with domestic and international stocks down sharply amid the global credit squeeze. A flight to quality boosted returns for U.S. Treasuries, one of the few asset classes with positive results heading into the latter stages of the year. Financial markets are always unpredictable, but there are a number of time-tested principles that can put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There are tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. The more you sell, the more taxes you pay, and the more you trade, the higher the costs. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third investment principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces unconstructive "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or over the phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (June 1, 2008 to November 30, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

A 5% return per year before expenses
* Expenses are equal to each Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).
** If fees to participate in the U.S. Department of Treasury's Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds paid in October and December 2008 (see Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements) had been in effect during the entire period, the annualized expense ratio and the expenses paid in the actual and hypothetical examples above would have been as follows:
| Annualized Expense Ratio | Expenses Paid |
Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund | .55% | |
Actual | | $ 2.76 |
HypotheticalA | | $ 2.78 |
A 5% return per year before expenses

Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended November 30, 2008 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity NJ Municipal Income Fund | -2.98% | 2.60% | 4.11% |
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® New Jersey Municipal Income Fund on November 30, 1998. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index performed over the same period.

Comments from Mark Sommer, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® New Jersey Municipal Income Fund
Municipal bonds suffered losses during the year ending November 30, 2008, hurt by a growing risk aversion that spread rapidly across the global financial markets. While lower-quality municipals were hit first, insured bonds - most rated AAA at the time - came under pressure shortly thereafter in response to investor concerns about the financial strength of bond insurers. All major municipal bond insurers were hurt by their exposure, via other business lines, to securities backed by subprime mortgages. In early 2008, the market for tax-exempt auction-rate securities seized up, giving the muni market a well-publicized black eye. This led to a surge in supply, as issuers scrambled to refinance their auction-rate debt, putting downward pressure on muni bond prices. The loss of independent muni dealers - including Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and Wachovia - led to further disruption, as did the selling by leveraged investors to cover losses and meet investor redemptions. For the 12 months overall, the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index - a performance measure of more than 44,000 investment-grade, fixed-rate, tax-exempt bonds - fell 3.61%. The overall taxable debt market, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, returned 1.74%.
For the year ending November 30, 2008, the fund returned -2.98% and the Barclays Capital New Jersey Enhanced Modified Municipal Bond Index returned -3.05%. The fund outpaced its benchmark due in part from having less exposure to lower-quality securities. They performed poorly in response to investors' aversion to risk and the deteriorating credit fundamentals of issuers amid widespread economic weakness. The fund also benefited from its yield-curve positioning - which refers to how I allocated the investments across bonds of various maturities. Specifically, my decision to have a somewhat smaller-than-index weighting in longer-term bonds aided performance because they lagged the intermediate-maturity bonds I favored. In contrast, my decision to overweight insured bonds detracted from the fund's performance because these securities came under pressure amid an uncertain outlook for bond insurers. In particular, out-of-index exposure to insured bonds issued in Puerto Rico cost the fund some ground because they were among the muni market's poorest performers, due to credit weakness driven by the U.S. territory's economic and fiscal challenges.

Weighted Average Maturity as of November 30, 2008 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 11.5 | 7.4 |
The weighted average maturity is based on the dollar-weighted average length of time until principal payments are expected or until securities reach maturity, taking into account any maturity shortening feature such as a call, refunding or redemption provision. |
Duration as of November 30, 2008 |
| | 6 months ago |
Years | 7.6 | 6.8 |
Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fundÂ's actual performance may differ from this example. |

Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended November 30, 2008
1. Organization.
Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Income Fund (the Income Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Court Street Trust. Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund (the Money Market Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Court Street Trust II. Each trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. Fidelity Court Street Trust and Fidelity Court Street Trust II (the trusts) are organized as a Massachusetts business trust and a Delaware statutory trust, respectively. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Each Fund may be affected by economic and political developments in the state of New Jersey.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Funds' Schedules of Investments list each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of each Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Funds' Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Wherever possible, each Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value their investments.
For the Income Fund, debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing
Annual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Security Valuation - continued
services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Actual prices received at disposition may differ.
As permitted by compliance with certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, securities owned by the Money Market Fund are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
The Funds are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Funds' fiscal year. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
Level 2 | Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. |
Level 3 | Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available. |

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy.
The aggregate value by input level, as of November 30, 2008, for each Fund's investments is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day for the Income Fund and trades executed through the end of the current business day for the Money Market Fund. The net asset value per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Security transactions, including the Funds' investment activity in the Fidelity Central Funds, are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of each trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
The Board of Trustees of the Money Market Fund approved the participation by the Money Market Fund in the U.S. Treasury Department's Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the "Program") through April 30, 2009. Under the Program, if the Money Market Fund's market value per share drops below $0.995 on any day while the Program is in effect, shareholders of record on that date who also held shares in the Money Market Fund on September 19, 2008 may be eligible to receive a payment from the Treasury upon liquidation of the Money Market Fund. The Money Market Fund paid the U.S. Treasury Department a fee equal to 0.01% based on the number of shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008 to participate in the Program for the initial 3-month term that expires on December 18, 2008. On December 4, 2008, the Money Market Fund paid an additional fee equal to 0.015% based on the number of shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008 to participate in the extension of the Program through April 30, 2009. The fees are being amortized over the length of the participation in the Program. The

expense is borne by the Money Market Fund without regard to any expense limitation currently in effect. The U.S. Treasury Department has the option to renew the Program through the close of business on September 19, 2009. If extended, the Board of Trustees of the Money Market Fund will determine whether the Money Market Fund should continue participation in the Program and, if so, the Money Market Fund will incur additional participation fees.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Each Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Funds' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Funds will claim a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to market discount, deferred trustees compensation, and losses deferred due to excise tax regulations and wash sales.
The Funds purchase municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of the issuer, is free from federal income tax. There is no assurance that the IRS will agree with this opinion. In the event the IRS determines that the issuer does not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable, possibly retroactively to the date the security was issued.

Short-Term Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held in the Income Fund less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares.

4. Operating Policies.

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities - continued
for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments. Certain Funds may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Restricted Securities. Certain Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally 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. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, for the Income Fund aggregated $110,867,146 and $126,722,854, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Income Fund and Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Money Market with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and a group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each Fund's average net assets. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, each Fund's annual management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each Fund's average net assets was as follows:
| Individual Rate | Group Rate | Total |
Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Income Fund | .25% | .12% | .37% |
Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund | .25% | .12% | .37% |

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Transfer Agent and Accounting Fees. Citibank, N.A. (Citibank) is the custodian, transfer agent and shareholder servicing agent for the Funds. Citibank has entered into a sub-arrangement with Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, under which FIIOC performs the activities associated with the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent functions. The Funds pay account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Prior to January 1, 2008, Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), also an affiliate of FMR, was the Funds' sub-transfer agent. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annual rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:
Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Income Fund | .07% | | |
Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund | .13% | |
Citibank also has a sub-arrangement with FSC, under which FSC maintains the Fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Income Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro rata portion of the line of credit, which is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations, and is as follows:
Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Income Fund | $ 1,179 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the Income Fund's and the Money Market Fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce fund expenses. These expense reductions are noted in the table below.
| Custody expense reduction | Transfer Agent expense reduction | Accounting expense reduction |

Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Income Fund | $ 8,764 | $ 164,703 | $ - |

Annual Report
9. Other.
The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
The supply of municipal money market securities has declined significantly due to the recent market volatility. Due to this limited supply of suitable investments in the marketplace, the Money Market Fund has significantly increased its cash position.
Annual Report
To the Trustees of Fidelity Court Street Trust and Fidelity Court Street Trust II and the Shareholders of Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Income Fund and Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Income Fund (a fund of Fidelity Court Street Trust) and Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund (a fund of Fidelity Court Street Trust II) at November 30, 2008, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Court Street Trust's and Fidelity Court Street Trust II's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at November 30, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Income Fund / Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund
Each year, typically in June, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its June 2008 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders. The Board also approved agreements with foreign sub-advisers Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc., Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Inc., and Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contracts is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that each fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, managed by Fidelity.
Annual Report
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the funds' investment personnel and the funds' investment objectives and disciplines. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers. In addition, the Board considered the trading resources that are an integrated part of the fixed-income portfolio management investment process.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency and pricing and bookkeeping services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fees on Fidelity's Institutional Money Market Funds and launching Class IV and Institutional Class of certain of these funds; (iii) reducing the transfer agent fees for the Fidelity Select Portfolios and Investor Class of the VIP funds; and (iv) launching Class K of 29 equity funds as a lower-fee class available to certain employer-sponsored retirement plans.
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's absolute investment performance, as well as each fund's relative investment performance measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index (bond fund only, as money market funds are typically not compared against a market index), and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. For each fund, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2007, the fund's cumulative total returns, the cumulative total returns of a broad-based securities market index ("benchmark") (bond fund only), and a range of cumulative total returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten number noted below each chart corresponds to the percentile box and represents the percentage of funds in the peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the fund.
Annual Report
Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Income Fund
The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of the fund was in the first quartile for all the periods shown. The Board also stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, although the fund's one-year cumulative total return compared favorably to its benchmark.
Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund
Annual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and
Management Fees - continued
The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its peer group and stated that the performance of the fund was in the second quartile for all the periods shown.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each fund will benefit each fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that each fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group" and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a TMG % of 27% would mean that 73% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than a fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.
Annual Report
Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Income Fund
Fidelity New Jersey Municipal Money Market Fund
The Board noted that each fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2007.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
Annual Report

Management Fees - continued
In its review of each fund's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that each fund's total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2007.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's total expenses were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for each fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the results of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
Annual Report
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of each fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends and actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology, the profitability of certain fund service providers, and profitability trends for certain funds; (iv) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability and the extent to which portfolio manager compensation is linked to fund performance; (v) Fidelity's fee structures; (vi) the funds' sub-advisory arrangements; and (vii) accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds.
Annual Report

Management Fees - continued
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

The trust's Audit Committee has considered non-audit services that were not pre-approved that were provided by PwC to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC in its audit of the Funds, taking into account representations from PwC, in accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, regarding its independence from the Funds and their related entities and FMR's review of the appropriateness and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund Service Providers.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Fidelity fund's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by a fund's independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the fund. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.
The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund ("Covered Service") are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided.
All Covered Services must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair's absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee.
Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm to a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund are reported to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis.
Non-Audit Services Approved Pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and (ii) of Regulation S-X ("De Minimis Exception")
There were no non-audit services approved or required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the De Minimis Exception during the Funds' last two fiscal years relating to services provided to (i) the Funds or (ii) any Fund Service Provider that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.
