Annual Report
Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, 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 Fund 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, 2004 to November 30, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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 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.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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.
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.
| Beginning Account Value June 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value November 30, 2004 | Expenses Paid During Period* June 1, 2004 to November 30, 2004 |
Actual | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,005.90 | $ 2.11 |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,022.87 | $ 2.13 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of .42%; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity Cash Reserves (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust. 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity money market funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
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. There were no significant book-to-tax differences during the period.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations, corporate obligations and mortgage loan obligations which may be below investment-grade quality, and equity securities. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund 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 fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the 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. The fund 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 the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a total income-based component. The group fee rate averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate
Annual Report
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Management Fee - continued
decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. The total income-based component is calculated according to a graduated schedule providing for different rates based on the fund's gross annualized yield. The rate increases as the fund's gross yield increases.
During the period the income-based portion of this fee was $38,462 or an annual rate of .07% of the fund's average net assets. For the period, the fund's total annual management fee rate was .20% of the fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .21% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The fund's activity in this program during the period was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Earned (included in interest income) | Interest Expense |
Lender | $ 13,052 | 1.20% | $ 8 | $ - |
4. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $10.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
During the past year or so, much has been reported about the mutual fund industry, and much of it has been more critical than I believe is warranted. Allegations that some companies have been less than forthright with their shareholders have cast a shadow on the entire industry. I continue to find these reports disturbing, and assert that they do not create an accurate picture of the industry overall. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone where Fidelity stands on these issues. I will say two things specifically regarding allegations that some mutual fund companies were in violation of the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities.
First, Fidelity has no agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not a new policy. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. However, we are extremely diligent in preventing fraud from occurring in this manner - and in every other. But I underscore again that Fidelity has no so-called "agreements" that sanction illegal practices.
Second, Fidelity continues to stand on record, as we have for years, in opposition to predatory short-term trading that adversely affects shareholders in a mutual fund. Back in the 1980s, we initiated a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. Further, we took the lead several years ago in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. I am confident we will find other ways to make it more difficult for predatory traders to operate. However, this will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.
Yes, there have been unfortunate instances of unethical and illegal activity within the mutual fund industry from time to time. That is true of any industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. But we are still concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems. Every system can be improved, and we support and applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings.
For nearly 60 years, Fidelity has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.
Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.
Best regards,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, 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 Fund 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, 2004 to November 30, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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 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.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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.
Annual Report
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.
| Beginning Account Value June 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value November 30, 2004 | Expenses Paid During Period* June 1, 2004 to November 30, 2004 |
Actual | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,006.10 | $ 1.76 |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,023.23 | $ 1.77 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of .35%; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one half year period).

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity U.S. Government Reserves (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust. 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
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. There were no significant book-to-tax differences during the period.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund

may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a total income-based component. The group fee rate averaged .13% during the period. 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. The total income-based component is calculated according to a graduated schedule providing for different rates based on the fund's gross annualized yield. The rate increases as the fund's gross yield increases.
During the period the income-based portion of this fee was $1,522 or an annual rate of .07% of the fund's average net assets. For the period, the fund's total annual management fee rate was .20% of the fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .14% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
4. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody and transfer agent expenses by $2 and $19, respectively.

To the Trustees of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity U.S. Government Reserves:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule 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 U.S. Government Reserves (a fund of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust) at November 30, 2004 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, 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 U.S. Government Reserves'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, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(e) (1) | Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
The trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds. 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 trust's 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. Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm for a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Non-Covered Service) but that are expected to exceed $50,000 are also subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
All Covered Services, as well as Non-Covered Services that are expected to exceed $50,000, 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. Neither pre-approval nor advance notice of Non-Covered Service engagements for which fees are not expected to exceed $50,000 is required; such engagements are to be reported to the Audit Committee monthly.
