Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended May 31, 2016
(Amounts in thousands except percentages)
1. Organization.
Fidelity Government Cash Reserves (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between affiliated funds. 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.
2. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Investment Valuation. The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
- Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
- Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
As permitted by compliance with certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at its original cost and thereafter amortizing any discount or premium from its face value at a constant rate until maturity. Securities held by a money market fund are generally high quality and liquid; however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value are not quoted prices in an active market.
Investment Transactions and Income. 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 are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. The principal amount on inflation-indexed securities is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation and interest is accrued based on the principal amount. The adjustments to principal due to inflation are reflected as increases or decreases to Interest in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.
Dividends are declared and recorded daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
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. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to deferred trustees compensation.
The federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
| Gross unrealized appreciation | $– |
| Gross unrealized depreciation | – |
| Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities | $– |
| Tax cost | $129,167,122 |
Repurchase Agreements. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), or other affiliated entities of FMR, are permitted to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements may be collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements. To enhance its yield, the Fund may enter into reverse repurchase transactions under master repurchase agreements whereby the Fund sells securities to a counterparty in return for cash and agrees to repurchase those securities at a future date and agreed upon price. During the period that reverse repurchase transactions are outstanding, the Fund identifies the securities as pledged in its records with an initial value at least equal to its principal obligation under the agreement. The cash proceeds received by the Fund may be invested in other securities. To the extent cash proceeds received from the counterparty exceed the value of the securities sold, the counterparty may request additional collateral from the Fund. If the counterparty defaults on its obligation, because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities sold. Information regarding securities sold under a reverse repurchase agreement is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments and the cash proceeds are recorded as a liability in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund continues to receive interest and dividend payments on the securities sold during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, the Fund transacted in 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. The securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund's Schedule of Investments. 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.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company (the investment adviser) 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 annualized group fee rate averaged .11% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by the investment adviser, including any mutual funds previously advised by the investment adviser that are currently advised by Fidelity SelectCo, LLC, an affiliate of the investment adviser. 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 $35,063 or an annualized rate of .06% of the Fund's average net assets. For the reporting period, the Fund's total annualized management fee rate was .17% of the Fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives 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. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .19% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month.
Interfund Trades. The Fund may purchase from or sell securities to other Fidelity Funds under procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure these interfund trades are executed in accordance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act.
4. Expense Reductions.
The investment adviser or its affiliates voluntarily agreed to waive certain fees in order to maintain a minimum annualized yield of .01%. Such arrangements may be discontinued by the investment adviser at any time. For the period, the amount of the waiver was $16,029.
In addition, during the period the investment adviser reimbursed and/or waived a portion of operating expenses in the amount of $236.
5. Other.
The Fund's 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 Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity Government Cash 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 Government Cash Reserves (a fund of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust) at May 31, 2016, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets for each of 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 Government Cash 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 May 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 (December 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table 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 accompanying table 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.
