Dear Fellow Shareholders:
I am pleased to present you with the annual report of the Heritage Cash Trust—Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004. For the period covered by this report, the Fund’s seven day current yield increased from 0.35% to 0.79%(a). The increase in the yield can be attributed to decisions by the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee to raise the federal funds rate (the rate member banks charge each other for overnight loans) from the 46-year low of 1.00% to 1.50% at the end of the period. For most of the reporting period, the yield of money market instruments as well as the Fund showed very little volatility as the Federal Reserve left the federal funds rate at 1.00% before increasing the federal funds rate by 25 basis points at both the June 2004 and the August 2004 Federal Open Market Committee Meetings. This performance data represents past performance and past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. To obtain more current performance please visit our website at www.HeritageFunds.com.
As of August 31, 2004, approximately 40% of the Fund’s net assets were invested in short-term obligations issued by U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Federal Home Loan Banks, and Federal Farm Credit Banks(b). Approximately 53% of the Fund’s net assets were invested in commercial paper or certificates of deposit rated A-1+, the highest short-term rating classification by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group (“S&P”), while 7% of net assets were invested in short-term obligations rated A-1, S&P’s next highest rating category. This, along with other factors, satisfies the standards necessary to retain the Fund’s AAAm rating from S&P(c). Ratings are subject to change and do not remove market risk from your investment.
On behalf of Heritage, I thank you for your continued investment in the Heritage Cash Trust—Money Market Fund. If you have any questions or comments please contact your financial advisor or Heritage at (800) 421-4184.
Sincerely,

Fund’s Expenses
(unaudited)
Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees, distribution fees and other expenses. Using the tables below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect one-time transaction expenses, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. For more information, see your Fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.
Review Your Fund’s Actual Expenses
The table below shows the actual expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Heritage Cash Trust—Money Market Fund on March 1, 2004 and held through August 31, 2004. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns after ongoing expenses. This table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
| | | | | | | | | |
Actual
| | Beginning Account Value March 1, 2004
| | Ending Account Value August 31, 2004
| | Expenses Paid During Period*
|
Class A | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,002 | | $ | 3.52 |
Class B | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,002 | | $ | 3.52 |
Class C | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,002 | | $ | 3.52 |
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
All mutual funds now follow guidelines to assist shareholders in comparing expenses between different funds. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your Fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return (2.51% from March 1, 2004 to August 31, 2004) before ongoing expenses invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Please note that you should not use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total costs) of investing in the Fund with those of other funds. All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison.

Annual Report
Heritage Cash Trust—Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1: | Significant Accounting Policies. Heritage Cash Trust (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company consisting of two separate investment portfolios, the Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) and the Municipal Money Market Fund. The Fund seeks to achieve maximum current income consistent with stability of principal. The Fund currently offers Class A and Class C shares. Effective February 1, 2004, Class B shares are no longer available for direct purchase. Class B shares will continue to be available through exchanges as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Class A, B and C shares have no front end sales charges, but when redeemed, may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if they were acquired through an exchange from another Heritage mutual fund. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies: |
Security Valuation: The Fund uses the amortized cost method of security valuation (as set forth in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended). The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at cost at the time of purchase and thereafter accreting/amortizing any purchase discount/premium at a constant rate until maturity.
Repurchase Agreements: The Fund enters into repurchase agreements whereby the Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the market value of which at the time of purchase is required to be an amount equal to at least 100% of the resale price. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, the Fund will bear the risk of market value fluctuations until the security can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the security. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller, delays and costs may be incurred.
Federal Income Taxes: The Fund is treated as a single corporate taxpayer as provided for in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income and excise taxes.
Distribution of Income and Gains: Distributions from net investment income and net realized gains available for distribution are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investment transactions for both financial and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Expenses: The Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to it, while other expenses are allocated proportionately among the Heritage mutual funds based upon methods approved by the Board of Trustees. Expenses that are directly attributable to a specific class of shares, such as distribution fees, are charged directly to that class. Other expenses of the Fund are allocated to each class of shares based upon their relative percentage of net assets.

Other: Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
In the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Manager receives an annual fee of $18,000 and an additional fee of $3,000 for each combined quarterly meeting of the Heritage Mutual Funds attended. In addition, each independent Trustee that serves on the Audit Committee or Compliance Committee will receive $500 for attendance at their respective meeting (in person or telephonic). The Lead Trustee, the Audit Committee Chair, and the Compliance Committee Chair each will receive an annual retainer of $2,500, in addition to meeting fees. Trustees’ fees and expenses are paid equally by each portfolio in the Heritage Mutual Funds.
Note 4: | Federal Income Taxes. The timing and character of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) from investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid in capital or accumulated net realized gain (loss), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Results of operations and net assets are not affected by these reclassifications. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, there were no reclassifications arising from permanent tax differences. As of August 31, 2004 the Fund had net tax basis capital loss carryforwards in the aggregate of $3,174. This capital loss carryforward may be applied to any net taxable capital gain until the expiration date of 2012. All dividends paid by the Fund from net investment income are deemed to be ordinary income for Federal income tax purposes. |

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’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.

We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

September 17, 2004
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
It is my pleasure to provide to you with the annual report for the Heritage Cash Trust—Municipal Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004. Since the last year end reporting period, the federal reserve maintained a stable rate environment with holding the overnight rate at 1.00% for the majority of the year. Throughout the second fiscal quarter of 2004, the overall economic environment showed signs of improvement prompting the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates by 0.25% at both June 2004 and August 2004 Federal Open Market Committee Meetings. The tax exempt interest rates remained relatively stable throughout the fiscal year and began to steadily increase in the last fiscal quarter. For the period covered by this report, the Fund’s seven day current yield increased from 0.25% to 0.60%(a). The increase in the Fund’s seven day net yield can be attributed to the two interest rate increases during the fiscal year. This performance data represents past performance and past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. To obtain more current performance please visit out website at www.HeritageFunds.com.
As of August 31, 2004, based on net assets, the Fund was comprised of more that 74% in tax-exempt floating rate notes, 0.5% fixed rate notes and bonds, and approximately 25% commercial paper. A large composition of floating rate notes provided the Fund with ample liquidity. The investment in commercial paper provided more relative value than fixed rate notes and bonds due to a flattened yield curve throughout most of the fiscal year. The entire portfolio was invested in highly rated tier one securities. The high quality investments satisfied the requirements set forth by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group to maintain the Fund’s AAAm rating(b). Ratings are subject to change and do not remove market risk from your investment.
On behalf of Heritage, I thank you for your continued investment in the Heritage Cash Trust—Municipal Market Fund. If you have any questions or comments please contact your financial advisor or Heritage at (800) 421-4184.
Sincerely,
![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001193125-04-186296/g40255g97u37.jpg)

Fund’s Expenses
(unaudited)
Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees, distribution fees and other expenses. Using the tables below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect one-time transaction expenses, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. For more information, see your Fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.
Review Your Fund’s Actual Expenses
The table below shows the actual expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Heritage Cash Trust—Municipal Money Market Fund on March 1, 2004 and held through August 31, 2004. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns after ongoing expenses. This table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the line 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
All mutual funds now follow guidelines to assist shareholders in comparing expenses between different funds. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your Fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return (2.51% from March 1, 2004 to August 31, 2004) before ongoing expenses invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period. Please note that you should not use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during this period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total costs) of investing in the Fund with those of other funds. All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you should not use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

|

| * | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.68% multiplied by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by the actual number of days in the period (184); and then dividing that result by the actual number of days in the fiscal year (366). |

Heritage Cash Trust—Municipal Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1: | Significant Accounting Policies. Heritage Cash Trust (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company consisting of two separate investment portfolios, the Municipal Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) and the Money Market Fund. The Fund seeks to achieve maximum current income exempt from federal income tax consistent with stability of principal. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies: |
Security Valuation: The Fund uses the amortized cost method of security valuation (as set forth in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended). The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at cost at the time of purchase and thereafter accreting/amortizing any purchase discount/premium at a constant rate until maturity.
Federal Income Taxes: The Fund is treated as a single corporate taxpayer as provided for in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income and excise taxes.
Distribution of Income and Gains: Distributions from net investment income and net realized gains available for distribution are declared daily and paid monthly. The Fund uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investment transactions for both financial and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Expenses: The Fund is charged for those expenses which are directly attributable to it, while other expenses are allocated proportionately among the Heritage mutual funds based upon methods approved by the Board of Trustees.
Other: Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
In the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
The Manager entered into a subadvisory agreement with Alliance Capital Management L.P. (the “Subadviser”) to provide investment advice and portfolio management services (including placement of brokerage orders) and certain compliance and other services for a fee payable by the Manager, equal to 0.125% of the Fund’s average daily net assets on assets up to $100 million, 0.10% of average daily net assets on assets from $100 million to $250 million, and 0.05% on average daily net assets exceeding $250 million without regard to any reduction due to the imposition of expense limitations.
Pursuant to a plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended, the Fund is authorized to pay Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (the “Distributor” or “RJA”) a fee equal to 0.15% of the average daily net assets. Such fee is accrued daily and payable monthly. The total amount payable to the Distributor as of August 31, 2004 was $130,930. The Manager, Distributor, Fund Accountant and Shareholder Servicing Agent are all wholly owned subsidiaries of Raymond James Financial, Inc. (“RJF”).
The Manager also is the Shareholder Servicing Agent and Fund Accountant for the Fund. The Manager charged $234,820 for Shareholder Servicing fees and $70,531 for Fund Accounting services, of which $43,807 and $14,800 were payable as of February 29, 2004, respectively.
Trustees of the Trust also serve as Trustees for Heritage Capital Appreciation Trust, Heritage Growth and Income Trust, Heritage Income Trust and Heritage Series Trust, investment companies that are also advised by the Manager (collectively referred to as the “Heritage Mutual Funds”). Each Trustee of the Heritage Mutual Funds who is not an employee of the Manager or an employee of an affiliate of the Manager received an annual fee of $18,000 and an additional fee of $3,000 for each combined quarterly meeting of the Heritage Mutual Funds attended. In addition, each independent Trustee that serves on the Audit Committee or Compliance Committee will receive $500 for attendance at their respective meeting (in person or telephonic). The Lead Trustee, the Audit Committee Chair, and the Compliance Committee Chair each will receive an annual retainer of $2,500, in addition to meeting fees. Trustees’ fees and expenses are paid equally by each portfolio in the Heritage Mutual Funds.
Note 4: | Federal Income Taxes. The timing and character of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) from investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid in capital or accumulated net realized gain (loss), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Results of operations and net assets are not affected by these reclassifications. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, to reflect classifications arising from permanent tax differences attributable to a reclass of dividends, the Fund increased (credited) accumulated realized gain of $37,528 and decreased (debited) paid in capital $37,528. All dividends paid by the Fund for net investment income are exempt from Federal income tax. |

Report of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and
Shareholders of Heritage Cash Trust—Municipal Money Market Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets, 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 Heritage Cash Trust—Municipal Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) at August 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with 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 Fund’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 August 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(a) Audit Fees
The aggregate fees billed by registrant’s independent public accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements were $37,519 for the year ended August 31, 2003, and $42,168 for the year ended August 31, 2004.

(e) Registrant’s Audit Committee Charter provides that the audit committee (comprised of the Independent Trustees of registrant) is responsible for pre-approval of all auditing services performed for the registrant.

The Audit Committee also is responsible for pre-approval (subject to the de minimus exception for non-audit services described in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable rule thereunder and not expecting to exceed $5,000) of all non-auditing services performed for the registrant or for any service affiliate of registrant.

(h) Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered the non-audit services provided to the registrant and registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with registrant’s investment adviser as described above and determined that these services do not compromise PwC’s independence.
