Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a 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 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 (January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009).
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.
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.
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.

Annual Report
The North Carolina Capital Management Trust: Term Portfolio
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.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Market Recap: In the taxable bond market, the year ending June 30, 2009, was marked by a sharp diversion in performance between the first six months of the period and the final six months. During the last half of 2008, the financial markets remained strangled by liquidity and credit concerns that had been churning for much of the year. These issues had been brought about by the failure or near-collapse of several keystone players in the financials industry and sparked unprecedented intervention by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Board. During this time frame, many investors fled riskier fixed-income assets in favor of safe havens, particularly U.S. Treasuries. During the first half of 2009, though, the emergence of improving credit conditions and signs of stabilization among certain economic indicators fueled greater demand for fixed-income securities farther out on the risk spectrum. In the end, though, the rallies enjoyed by riskier segments of the markets during the first six months of 2009 were not strong enough to offset the effects of the turmoil experienced during the second half of 2008. To illustrate, the Barclays Capital U.S. Agency Bond Index and the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Bond Index - both measures of markets boasting the highest credit quality - returned 7.27% and 6.47%, respectively, for the 12 months overall. Over the same stretch, the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index - a barometer of the performance of high-yield bonds - returned -2.99%, despite a strong rebound in the second half. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index - a broad proxy for the U.S. investment-grade debt universe - gained 6.05%, while the Barclays Capital Credit Bond Index, a measure of high-quality corporate debt, rose 4.08%.
Comments from Robert Litterst, Portfolio Manager of The North Carolina Capital Management Trust: Term Portfolio: For the year ending June 30, 2009, the fund returned 3.86%, compared with 2.99% for the Barclays Capital U.S. 9-12 Months Short Treasury Bond Index. I continued to maintain significant out-of-benchmark positions in government agency securities due to their yield advantage over comparable Treasuries. In the first quarter of 2009, improved liquidity and credit conditions, combined with governmental support of the agencies, helped that sector outperform. Agencies also benefited from an increase in Treasury bill issuance and a shrinking supply of agency discount notes - short-term agency debt obligations with maturities ranging from overnight to 360 days. This outperformance of the agency sector was the main reason the fund was able to top its benchmark index for the year. As the period progressed, agency discount notes rallied significantly, eventually yielding only slightly more than comparable Treasuries. We took advantage of this move to sell agencies and buy Treasuries, mainly newly issued one-year Treasury bills.

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 June 30, 2009 | ||

| 6 months ago |
Years | 0.8 | 0.8 |
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 fund's actual performance may differ from this example. |

Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended June 30, 2009
1. Organization.
Cash Portfolio and Term Portfolio (the Funds) are funds of The North Carolina Capital Management Trust (the trust). The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the trust are offered exclusively to local government and public authorities of the state of North Carolina. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
2. 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. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, August 20, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. 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. The Term Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value their investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. For the Term Portfolio, 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 June 30, 2009, for each Fund's investments is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of each Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
For the Term Portfolio, debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on quotations received from dealers who make markets in such securities or by independent pricing services. For U.S. government and government agency obligations pricing services generally utilize matrix pricing which considers 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 Cash Portfolio are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. All inputs used to value investments as of June 30, 2009, for the Cash Portfolio are categorized as Level 2 in the disclosure hierarchy.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
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 Term Portfolio and trades executed through the end of the current business day for the Cash Portfolio. 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 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 Cash Portfolio approved the participation by the Cash Portfolio in the U.S. Treasury Department's Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the "Program") through September 18, 2009. Under the Program, if the Cash Portfolio'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 Cash Portfolio on September 19, 2008 may be eligible to receive a payment from the U.S. Treasury Department upon liquidation of the Cash Portfolio. The Cash Portfolio paid the U.S. Treasury Department fees equal to 0.04% based on the number of shares outstanding as of September 19, 2008 to participate in the Program. The fees are being amortized over the length of the participation in the Program. The expense is borne by the Cash Portfolio without regard to any expense limitation currently in effect.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. The independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of their annual fees under the Trustees' Deferred Compensation Plan ("the Plan"). Interest is accrued on amounts deferred under the Plan based on the prevailing 90 day Treasury Bill rate.
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. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years.
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, Cash Portfolio 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 capital loss carryforwards.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows for each Fund:

3. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits certain Funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. Certain Funds may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are 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. Each applicable 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.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provides the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee based upon a graduated series of annual rates ranging between .195% and .275% of each Fund's average net assets. Prior to August 1, 2008, the graduated series of rates ranged from .215% to .275% of each Fund's average net assets. FMR pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest

expense. The management fee paid to FMR by the Funds is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the Funds to the independent Trustees. For the period each Fund's annual management fee rate, expressed as a percentage of each Fund's average net assets, was as follows:
Cash Portfolio | .22% |
Term Portfolio | .27% |
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, each Fund has adopted a separate Distribution and Service plan. FMR pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a Distribution and Service fee from the management fee paid by each fund based on a graduated series of rates ranging from .06% to .08% of each Fund's average net assets. Prior to August 1, 2008, the graduated series of rates ranged from .07% to .08% of each Fund's average net assets. For the period, FMR paid FDC $4,618,426 and $53,514 on behalf of Cash and Term Portfolios, respectively, all of which was paid to the Capital Management of the Carolinas LLC.
5. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of each Fund's management fee during the period. The amount of the waiver for each Fund was as follows:
Cash Portfolio | $ 427,908 |
Term Portfolio | 4,764 |
6. 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 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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, 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 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 trust. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to the trust 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 the trust (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 the trust (Non-Covered Service) are not required to be pre-approved, but are reported to the Audit Committee annually.
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 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.
