Dear Fellow Shareholders:
I am pleased to present you with the annual report for the Heritage Cash Trust–Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005. The Fund’s seven-day current yield(a) increased from 0.79% on August 31, 2004, to 2.83% on August 31, 2005. The increase in the yield can be attributed to decisions by the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee to raise the federal funds target rate (the rate member banks charge each other for overnight loans) from 1.50% to 3.50% at the end of the period. This was accomplished by increasing the federal funds rate by 0.25% at each of the eight Federal Open Market Meeting’s that were held during the Fund’s 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 our website at www.HeritageFunds.com.
As of August 31, 2005, approximately 27% of the Fund’s net assets were invested in short-term obligations issued by U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Federal Home Loan Banks(b). Approximately 63% 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 10% 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.
In closing, I am pleased to report that, on August 16, 2005, the Fund’s trustees appointed Mr. Keith B. Jarrett as a new Trustee to the Heritage Family of Funds. Mr. Jarrett’s background in financial information services and venture capital investing is a welcome addition to our current Board.
On behalf of Heritage, I thank you for your continuing investment in the Heritage Cash Trust-Money Market Fund. As always, should you have any questions, please contact your financial advisor or Heritage at (800) 421-4184.
Sincerely,
![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001193125-05-211170/g94988g97u37.jpg)

(a) An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any fund carefully before investing. Contact Heritage at (800) 421-4184 or your financial advisor for a prospectus, which contains this and other important information about the Fund. Read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
(b) U.S. Government-Sponsored Enterprises are generally private entities sponsored by Acts of Congress but they are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
(c) Standard & Poor’s, a widely recognized independent authority on credit quality, rates certain money market funds based on weekly analysis. When rating a money market fund, Standard & Poor’s assesses the safety of principal. According to Standard & Poor’s, a fund rated AAAm (“m” denotes money market fund) offers excellent safety features and has superior capacity to maintain principal value and limit exposure to loss. In evaluating safety, Standard & Poor’s focuses on credit quality, liquidity and management of the Fund.

Understanding Your 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 advisor.
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, 2005 and held through August 31, 2005. 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, 2005
| | Ending Account Value August 31, 2005
| | Expenses Paid During Period*
|
Class A | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,012 | | $ | 3.60 |
Class B | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,012 | | $ | 3.60 |
Class C | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,012 | | $ | 3.60 |
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 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.

Class C | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,022 | | $ | 3.62 |
| * | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.71% for Class A, Class B and Class C shares, 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 (365). |

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 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.
Note 2: | Fund Shares. At August 31, 2005, there was an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of no par value authorized. |

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 of 0.15% of the average daily net assets. Such fee is accrued daily and payable monthly.

The Distributor has advised the Fund that it generated $24,943 and $2,817 in contingent deferred sales charges for Class B and Class C shares, respectively during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005.

Manager receives an annual fee of $23,000 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, 2005, there were no reclassifications arising from permanent tax differences. As of August 31, 2005, 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. |

Shareholders of Heritage Cash Trust—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—Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) at August 31, 2005, 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, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report
Heritage Cash Trust—Money Market Fund
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)
Overview. At a meeting held August 16, 2005, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the “Board”), approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Heritage Asset Management, Inc. (“Heritage”). In reaching this decision, the Board took into consideration information furnished for the Board’s review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the annual renewal process. The Board, acting directly or through its committees, has been provided with information and reports relevant to the annual renewal of the Fund’s Advisory Agreement, including: reports regarding the services and support provided to the Fund and its shareholders by Heritage; information on the Fund’s performance and commentary on the reasons for the performance; presentations by Fund portfolio managers addressing, as applicable, Heritage’s investment philosophy, investment strategy, personnel and operation; compliance and audit reports concerning the Heritage Funds and Heritage, including Heritage’s responses to any issues raised therein; and information on relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Heritage Funds and/or Heritage are responding to them. As part of the renewal process, the Board, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, requested and received additional reports containing information about the Fund and Heritage. The Board posed questions to various management personnel of Heritage regarding certain key aspects of the material submitted in support of the renewal.
With respect to the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund; (2) the investment performance of the Fund; (3) the costs of the services provided to the Fund and the profits realized or to be realized by Heritage and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized as the Fund grows; (5) whether the level of fees reflects those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors; (6) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by Heritage with other clients (such as pension funds and other institutional investors); and (7) any other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by Heritage from its relationship with the Fund.
Provided below is an overview of the factors the Board considered at the August meeting. The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to renew the Advisory Agreement, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered that Heritage is experienced in serving as an investment adviser for the Fund. Heritage provides investment management, administration, transfer agent and fund accounting services to the Fund. In addition, Heritage is responsible for the oversight of compliance with Fund policies and objectives, review of brokerage matters, oversight of Fund compliance with applicable law, and implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Fund. Heritage provides advisory services to one other non-investment company client. Finally, the Board noted that shareholders in the Fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Heritage, and that the Fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the Fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in the Fund, managed by Heritage.
The Board also considered information provided regarding (1) the Heritage personnel who provide services to the Fund; (2) the adequacy of Heritage’s compliance program and a certification to this effect; and (3) the financial information regarding Heritage.

Heritage Cash Trust—Money Market Fund
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)
(continued)
Investment Performance. The Board considered the short-, intermediate- and long-term performance of the Fund relative to its primary benchmark and peer group. In this connection, the Board noted the following: (1) the Fund is managed conservatively by Heritage to maintain a AAAm rating from Standard & Poor’s; and (2) the Fund’s short-term performance is above the average of taxable first-tier money market funds, while its intermediate- and long-term performance is on par with the average.
Costs, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board considered the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement. In this connection, the Board evaluated Heritage’s costs and profitability in providing services to the Fund. The Board noted that Heritage’s profit on the services it provided to the Fund are reasonable in light of the fact that Heritage provides services at a low cost to investors, manages the Fund’s assets, and provides a comprehensive compliance program for the Fund.
The Board also considered the advisory fees paid by the Fund in light of fees paid by comparable mutual funds. In this connection, the Board considered the management fee and the expense ratio for the Fund compared to the average management fee and expense ratio of its peer group, as discussed further below with respect to the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund’s expense ratio, less the Rule 12b-1 fees, is equal to the average of peer money market funds having assets of over $500 million.
The Board considered that the Fund’s management fee structure provides for breakpoints, which is a reduction of the applicable advisory fee rate as assets increase. The Board noted that Heritage added two “breakpoints” to its advisory fees last year in order to pass on any economies of scale it realizes to shareholders.
The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale, and shareholders may realize such economies of scale, through: (1) reduced advisory and administration fees achieved when the Fund’s asset size reaches breakpoints in the fee schedules instituted by Heritage; (2) increased services to the Fund; (3) the waivers and/or reimbursements Heritage provides as a result of the contractual expense limitations on the Fund’s total operating expenses; or (4) fee or expense reductions that may result from the operation of the transfer agent agreement.
Benefits. In evaluating Heritage’s compensation, the Board considered other benefits that may be realized by Heritage and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund. In this connection, the Board noted, among other things, that Heritage also serves as the transfer agent and fund accountant for the Fund, receiving compensation for acting in these capacities, and is responsible for, among other things, coordinating the Fund’s audits, financial statements and tax returns and managing expenses and budgeting for the Fund.
The Board also considered that another affiliate of Heritage, Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“RJA”), serves as the principal underwriter and distributor for the Fund, and as such, receives Rule 12b-1 payments from the Fund to compensate them for providing service and distribution activities. The Board considered that these payments could lead to growth in the Fund’s assets and the corresponding benefits of that growth, including economies of scale and greater diversification. In addition, Heritage also makes payments to RJA for service and distribution activities for Fund shares. Finally, another affiliate of Heritage, Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. has entered into an agreement with RJA to sell fund shares and receives compensation from RJA.

Conclusions. Based on these considerations, the Board concluded with respect to the Fund that: (1) the Fund is reasonably likely to benefit from the nature, quality and extent of Heritage’s services; (2) the Fund’s performance was satisfactory in light of all the factors considered by the Board; (3) Heritage’s profits and fee rate payable under the Advisory Agreement were reasonable in the context of all the factors considered by the Board; and (4) the advisory fee structure currently provides Fund shareholders with reasonable benefits associated with economies of scale. Based on these conclusions and other factors, the Board determined in its business judgment to renew the Advisory Agreement.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
This report provides management’s discussion of fund performance and market environment for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, of the Heritage Cash Trust–Municipal Money Market Fund (the “Fund”). Since the prior fiscal year end reporting period, the economy has continued to grow at a strong rate. In order to control inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve has increased the federal funds rate at a measured pace of 25 basis points at each of their Federal Open Market Committee meetings, resulting in a rate increase during the year from 1.50% to 3.50%. Short-term tax-exempt interest rates increased along with increases in the federal funds rate. The Fund’s seven-day current yield(a) increased from 0.60% on August 31, 2004, to 1.85% on August 31, 2005. 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, 2005, based on net assets, the Fund’s portfolio was comprised of approximately 78% tax-exempt floating rate notes, 1% fixed rate notes and bonds, and 21% commercial paper. The large weighting in floating rate notes has provided the Fund with substantial liquidity. The entire portfolio is invested in highly rated tier-one securities. These 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.
In closing, I am pleased to report that, on August 16, 2005, the Fund’s trustees appointed Mr. Keith B. Jarrett as a new Trustee to the Heritage Family of Funds. Mr. Jarrett’s background in financial information services and venture capital investing is a welcome addition to our current Board.
On behalf of Heritage, I thank you for your continued investment in the Heritage Cash Trust–Municipal Money 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/0001193125-05-211170/g21774g97u37.jpg)

Understanding Your 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 advisor.
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, 2005 and held through August 31, 2005. 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 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.

|
Class A | | $ | 1,000 | | $ | 1,022 | | $ | 3.52 |
| * | Expenses are calculated using the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.69% 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 (365). |

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.

Note 3: | Management, Distribution, Shareholder Servicing Agent, Fund Accounting and Trustees’ Fees. Under the Trust’s Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement with Heritage Asset Management, Inc. (the “Manager” or “Heritage”), the Fund agreed to pay to the Manager the following annual fee as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets, computed daily and payable monthly. |
| | | |
Fund’s Average Daily Net Assets
| | Management Fee Rate
| |
First $250 million | | 0.500 | % |
Next $250 million | | 0.475 | % |
Next $250 million | | 0.450 | % |
Next $250 million | | 0.425 | % |
Greater than $1 billion | | 0.400 | % |
The amount payable to the Manager as of August 31, 2005 was $412,364. Pursuant to a contractual agreement, the Manager agreed to waive its fees and, if necessary, reimburse the Fund to the extent that total operating expenses exceed 0.74% of its average daily net assets for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005. No fees were waived and no expenses were reimbursed for the period ended August 31, 2005.
Heritage Cash Trust—Municipal Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
The Manager entered into a subadvisory agreement with Alliance Capital Management L.P. (the “Subadviser”) to provide investment advice, portfolio management services (including placement of brokerage orders) and certain compliance and other services for an annualized fee payable by the Manager.
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 of 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, 2005 was $134,731. The Manager, Distributor, Fund Accountant and Shareholder Servicing Agent are all wholly owned subsidiaries of Raymond James Financial, Inc. (“RJF”).
The Manager is also the Shareholder Servicing Agent and Fund Accountant for the Fund. The Manager charged $230,212 for Shareholder Servicing fees and $76,663 for Fund Accounting services, of which $37,385 and $13,000 were payable as of August 31, 2005, respectively. For providing Shareholder Servicing and Fund Accounting Services the Manager is reimbursed for expenses incurred plus an additional amount up to 10%.
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 $23,000 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, 2005, there were no reclassifications arising from permanent tax differences. 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, 2005, 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, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report
Heritage Cash Trust—Municipal Money Market Fund
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)
Overview. At a meeting held August 16, 2005, the Board of Trustees, including the independent Trustees (together, the “Board”), approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement with Heritage Asset Management, Inc. (“Heritage”) and the subadvisory agreement for the Fund with Alliance Capital Management, LP (“subadviser”) (together, the “Advisory Agreements”).
In reaching this decision, the Board took into consideration information furnished for the Board’s review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information specifically prepared in connection with the annual renewal process. The Board, acting directly or through its committees, has been provided information and reports relevant to the annual renewal of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements, including: reports regarding the services and support provided to the Fund and its shareholders by Heritage and the subadviser; reports on the Fund’s performance and commentary on the reasons for the performance; presentations by Fund portfolio managers addressing, as applicable, Heritage’s and the subadviser’s investment philosophy, investment strategy, personnel and operation; compliance and audit reports concerning the Heritage Funds, Heritage and the subadviser, including responses to any issues raised therein; and information relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Heritage Funds and/or Heritage are responding to them. As part of the renewal process, the Board, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, requested and received additional reports containing information about the Fund, Heritage and the subadviser. The Board posed questions to various management personnel of Heritage regarding certain key aspects of the material submitted in support of the renewal.
With respect to the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund; (2) the investment performance of the Fund; (3) the costs of the services provided to the Fund and the profits realized or to be realized by Heritage, the subadviser and their respective affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized as the Fund grows; (5) whether the level of fees reflects those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors; (6) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by Heritage and the subadviser with other clients (such as pension funds and other institutional investors); and (7) any other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by Heritage or the subadviser from its relationship with the Fund.
Provided below is an overview of the factors the Board considered at the August meeting. The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to renew the Advisory Agreements, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered that Heritage and the subadviser are experienced in serving as an investment adviser for the Fund. Heritage oversees and monitors the performance and services provided by the Fund’s subadviser and is responsible for the selection of the Fund’s subadviser. Heritage provides investment management, administration, transfer agent and fund accounting services to the Fund. In addition, Heritage is responsible for the oversight of compliance with Fund policies and objectives, review of brokerage matters, oversight of Fund compliance with applicable law, and implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Fund. Heritage provides advisory services to one other non-investment company client. Finally,

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)
(continued)
the Board noted that shareholders in the Fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Heritage, and that the Fund’s shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the Fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in the Fund managed by Heritage.
With respect to the subadviser, the subadviser is responsible for making investment decisions on behalf of the Fund and placing all orders for the purchase and sale of investments for the Fund with brokers or dealers. The Board considered Heritage’s recommendation to continue to retain the subadviser.
The Board also considered information provided regarding (1) the Heritage and subadviser personnel who provide services to the Fund; (2) the adequacy of Heritage’s and the subadviser’s compliance program and certifications to this effect; and (3) the financial information regarding Heritage and the subadviser.
Investment Performance. The Board considered the short-, intermediate- and long-term performance of the Fund relative to its primary benchmark and peer group. In this connection, the Board noted the following: (1) the Fund performed on par with its peers for the one-year period ended on August 31, 2005 and slightly below average for three- and five-year periods; (2) the Municipal Fund is managed conservatively to maintain a AAAm rating from Standard & Poor’s.
Costs, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board considered the fees payable under the Advisory Agreements. In this connection, the Board evaluated Heritage’s costs and profitability in providing services to the Fund. The Board noted that Heritage’s profit on the services it provided to the Fund are reasonable in light of the fact that Heritage provides services at a low cost to investors, manages the Fund’s assets, and provides a comprehensive compliance program for the Fund.
The Board also considered the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees in light of fees paid by comparable mutual funds. In this connection, the Board considered the management fee and the expense ratio for the Fund compared to the average management fee and expense ratio of its peer group, as discussed further below with respect to the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund’s expense ratio, less the Rule 12b-1 fees, was lower than the average of its peer group. With respect to the subadvisory agreement, the Board considered the subadviser’s representation that the fees it charges in connection with the Fund are competitive with comparable subadvisory fees for managing money market assets and that it does not manage other similar funds.
The Board considered that the Fund’s management fee structure provides for breakpoints, which reduce the applicable advisory fee rate as assets increase. The Board noted that Heritage’s fee schedule contains several “breakpoints.” The Board accepted Heritage’s explanation that no additional breakpoints are warranted at this time due to, among other factors, the decrease of assets in the Fund.
The Board further considered that Heritage had committed to continue the contractual expense cap arrangement through the Fund’s 2006 fiscal year, which is subject to renewal by the Board and Heritage on an annual basis.

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)
(continued)
The Board also considered that the Fund may benefit from economies of scale, and shareholders may realize such economies of scale, through (1) reduced advisory and administration fees achieved when the Fund’s asset size reaches breakpoints in the fee schedules instituted by Heritage; (2) increased services to the Fund, (3) the waivers and/or reimbursements Heritage provides as a result of the contractual expense limitations on the Fund’s total operating expenses, or (4) fee or expense reductions that may result from the operation of the transfer agent agreement.
Benefits. In evaluating Heritage’s compensation, the Board considered other benefits that may be realized by Heritage and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund. In this connection, the Board noted, among other things, that Heritage also serves as the transfer agent and fund accountant for the Fund, receiving compensation for acting in these capacities, and is responsible for, among other things, coordinating the Fund’s audits, financial statements and tax returns and managing expenses and budgeting for the Fund.
The Board also recognized that another affiliate of Heritage, Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“RJA”) and, serves as the principal underwriter and distributor for the Fund, and as such, receives Rule 12b-1 payments from the Fund to compensate them for providing service and distribution activities. The Board considered that these payments could lead to growth in the Fund’s assets and the corresponding benefits of that growth, including economies of scale and greater diversification. In addition, another affiliate of Heritage, Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. has entered into an agreement with RJA to sell fund shares and receives compensation from RJA.
Conclusions.

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.
