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, 2006. The Fund’s seven-day current yield(a) increased from 2.83% on August 31, 2005, to 4.67% on August 31, 2006. For the most part, money market yields increased monotonously over the course of the fiscal year. The increase in the Fund’s seven-day yield and money market yields in general, can be attributed to the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee increasing the federal funds target rate seven times for a total increase of 1.75% during the Fund’s fiscal year. The federal funds target rate is the rate member banks charge each other for overnight loans. The performance data quoted 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 data as of the most recent month end, please visit our website at www.HeritageFunds.com.
In early July, nearly one billion dollars was transferred from the Fund to Raymond James Bank, FSB deposits. The transfer of these assets required a high level of liquidity but this had little impact on the Fund’s performance as the money market yield curve was quite flat and the Fund was defensively postured at the time.
As of August 31, 2006, approximately 23% of the Fund’s net assets were invested in short-term obligations issued by U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises(b), including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Federal Home Loan Banks. Approximately 64% 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 approximately 13% 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(c). Ratings are subject to change and do not remove market risk from your investment.
I am sad to report that Fund Trustee David M. Phillips has passed away. Mr. Phillips served as an Independent Trustee of the Heritage Funds since their inception in 1985 and was a strong advocate for shareholders. He is survived by his wife Ruth Ann and their two children.
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,
![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSR/0001193125-06-217992/g19782g56d16.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, risk, 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 agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government. The investments vary in the level of support that they receive from the U.S. Government; some instruments may be supported by the full faith and credit guaranty of the U.S. Government, while others are supported only by the credit of the issuing agency or instrumentality.
(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.

Annual Report
Heritage Cash Trust—Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1: | Organization, Investment Objective and Class Offerings. 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. |
An additional class of shares, Class B shares, are no longer available for purchase, although existing Class B shareholders can exchange their shares for Class B shares of another Heritage Mutual Fund and acquire additional shares through dividend reinvestment. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares of the Fund eight years after purchase. In addition, the Fund’s Board of Trustees has approved the conversion of all remaining Class B shares to Class A shares on March 30, 2007. The conversion from Class B shares will not be a taxable event and all shareholders as of the effective date will not be charged a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). After that conversion, there will be no Class B shares outstanding.
Class A, B and C shares have no front end sales charges, but when redeemed, may be subject to a CDSC if they were acquired through an exchange from another Heritage mutual fund.
Note 2: | Significant Accounting Policies. |
Use of Estimates. 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 and those differences could be material.
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 in an amount of 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 of 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 investments for both financial and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Revenue Recognition. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
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.
Class Allocations. Each class of shares has equal rights as to earnings and assets. Income, expenses, realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
Other. 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 4: | Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates. Under the Trust’s Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement with Heritage Asset Management, Inc. (the “Manager” or “Heritage”), Heritage manages, supervises and conducts the business and administrative affairs of the Fund. For these services, the Fund agreed to pay to the Manager an annual fee as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets, computed daily based on the schedule below and payable monthly. The amount payable to the Manager as of August 31, 2006, was $1,775,002. |

Next $2.5 billion | | 0.360 | % |
Next $2.5 billion | | 0.350 | % |
Greater than $10 billion | | 0.340 | % |
Distribution Fees. Pursuant to a plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under 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 for each class of shares. Such fee is accrued daily and payable monthly. The amount payable to the Distributor as of August 31, 2006 was $646,691. The Manager, Distributor, Fund Accountant and Shareholder Servicing Agent are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of Raymond James Financial, Inc. (“RJF”).
Sales Charges. The Distributor has advised the Fund that it generated $37,739 and $2,428 in contingent deferred sales charges for Class B and Class C shares, respectively during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006. From these fees, the Distributor paid sales commissions to sales persons and incurred other distribution costs.
Change of Distributor. Heritage Fund Distributors, Inc. (“HFD”) began operations on July 1, 2006 and is in the process of moving all of the selling agreements from RJA, the Fund’s current distributor, to HFD. HFD is an approved distributor by the Heritage Board of Trustees and expects to be the Fund’s sole distributor by December 31, 2006. In the interim, the Fund will operate with dual distributors; RJA and HFD. This change will have minimal impact, if any, to the Fund.
Fund Accounting Fees. The Manager is the Fund Accountant for the Fund. For providing Fund Accounting Services, the Manager receives payment from the Fund at a fixed base fee per fund, multiple class fee and any out-of-pocket expenses. The Manager charged $91,340 for Fund Accounting services, of which $8,119 was payable as of August 31, 2006.
Shareholder Servicing Fees. The Manager is the Shareholder Servicing Agent for the Fund. For providing Shareholder Servicing, the Manager receives payment from the Fund at a fixed fee per

shareholder account plus any out-of-pocket expenses. The Manager charged $7,603,669 for Shareholder Servicing fees, of which $584,398 was payable as of August 31, 2006.
Trustees and Officers Fees. 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, all of which are investment companies that are also advised by the Manager of the Trust (collectively referred to as the “Heritage Mutual Funds”). Each Trustee of the Heritage Mutual Funds who is not an employee of the Manager or employee of an affiliate of the Manager receives an annual retainer along with meeting fees for those Heritage Mutual Funds meetings attended. Trustees’ fees and expenses are paid equally by each portfolio in the Heritage Mutual Funds. Certain Officers of the Heritage Mutual Funds may also be Officers and/or Directors of Heritage. Such Officers receive no compensation from the Heritage Mutual Funds except for the Heritage Mutual Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officers’ total compensation is paid equally by each portfolio in the Heritage Mutual Funds. As of August 31, 2006, the amount of Trustees and Officers fees payable was $8,042.
Note 5: | 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 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, 2006, there were no reclassifications arising from permanent tax differences. As of August 31, 2006, 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 their 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. |
Note 6: | New Accounting Pronouncement. In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the accounting and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. The Manager is evaluating the application of FIN 48 to the Fund, and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements. |

Report of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and
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, 2006, 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, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Understanding Your Ongoing Costs
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges, or redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. The following sections are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual 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 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 contact your financial advisor.
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, 2006 and held through August 31, 2006. 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.

Class C | | $ | 1,000.00 | | $ | 1,021.90 | | $ | 3.65 |
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 and assuming for the period a hypothetical 5% annualized rate of return before ongoing expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. 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
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
Overview. At a meeting held on August 15, 2006, the Board, including the independent Trustees (together, the “Board”), approved the renewal of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “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 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 Fund and Heritage including responses to 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 substantial and detailed information about the Fund and Heritage. Among other matters, these reports included information on: (1) the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided by Heritage; (2) the personnel of Heritage; (3) the financial condition of Heritage; (4) the compliance program and record of Heritage; (5) the performance of the Fund as compared to its peer group and an appropriate benchmark; (6) the Fund’s expenses, including the advisory fee, the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to peer funds, and any applicable contractual expense limitations; (7) the anticipated effect of growth and size on the Fund’s performance and expenses, where applicable; (8) benefits to be realized by Heritage and its respective affiliates; and (9) the estimated profitability of Heritage under the Agreement. The Board posed questions to various management personnel of Heritage regarding certain key aspects of the materials submitted in support of the renewal.
With respect to the renewal of the 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. Because Heritage’s fee is a combined fee covering investment advisory and administration fees under the current agreement, the Board did not consider a comparison of Heritage’s advisory fee relative to other similar funds.
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 approve the 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. The Board noted that Heritage provides investment management, administration,

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(continued)
transfer agent and fund accounting services to the Fund. In addition, Heritage also is responsible for 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. 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 material matters that may have arisen in connection with Heritage’s compliance program and a certification as to the adequacy of the program; and (3) the financial information regarding Heritage.
Investment Performance. The Board considered the short-, intermediate- and long-term total returns of the Fund’s Class A shares compared to its peer group and the yield of the Fund’s Class A shares compared to a benchmark. In this regard, the Board noted that: (1) the Fund is managed conservatively by Heritage to maintain a AAAm rating from Standard & Poor’s; (2) the total return of the Fund’s Class A shares was less compared to similar funds for all relevant time periods ended June 30, 2006; (3) the explanation that the conservative style of management may reduce total return performance; and (4) the 30-day yield of the Fund’s Class A shares has exceeded its benchmark for the last two years.
Costs, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board considered the fees payable by the Fund under the Agreement. In this connection, the Board evaluated Heritage’s costs and profitability in providing services to the Fund. The Board noted that Heritage’s profits on the services it provided to the Fund are reasonable in light of Heritage’s costs in providing services to the Fund and that Heritage manages the Fund’s assets and provides a comprehensive compliance program for the Fund.
The Board also considered the expense ratio for the Fund compared to the average expense ratio of its peer group. The Board noted that the Fund’s expense ratio (less the Rule 12b-1 fees) was less than the average for its peer group of 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 fee rate as assets increase. The Board noted that Heritage added two breakpoints to its advisory fees two years ago in order to pass on any economies of scale it realizes to shareholders. The Board also recognized that the current asset levels of the Fund have not reached a level at which a new breakpoint would be considered.
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 a 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 under 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
17
Annual Report
Heritage Cash Trust—Money Market Fund
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(continued)
things, that Heritage also serves as the transfer agent and fund accountant for the Fund, and receives 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 Funds.
The Board also recognized that other affiliates of Heritage, Heritage Fund Distributors, Inc. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“RJA”), serve as the principal underwriters and distributors for the Fund, and as such, receive or would receive Rule 12b-1 payments from the Fund to compensate them for providing services and distribution activities, which 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. 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. Based on these considerations, the Board concluded with respect to the Fund that: (1) the Fund was 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 fees payable under the Agreement to Heritage were reasonable in the context of all the factors considered by the Board; and (4) the current advisory fee structure 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 Agreement.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
This report provides management’s discussion of fund performance and market environment for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, of the Heritage Cash Trust–Municipal Money Market Fund (the “Fund”). Since the prior fiscal year end reporting period, the economy has slowed down and inflationary pressures have eased. The Federal Reserve Bank continued to raise the target federal funds rate at a measured pace of 0.25% at each of their Federal Open Market Committee meetings held during the year until August 8, 2006 when they paused for the first time after seventeen consecutive increases, leaving the target federal funds rate standing at 5.25%. In their latest statement, the Federal Reserve Bank reiterated for the third time that their outlook for growth and inflation is data dependent. Short-term tax-exempt interest rates increased along with the federal funds rate. As a result, the Fund’s seven-day current yield(a) increased from 1.85% on August 31, 2005, to 2.82% on August 31, 2006. The performance data quoted 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 data as of the most recent month end, please visit our website at www.HeritageFunds.com.
As of August 31, 2006, the Fund’s investment portfolio was comprised of approximately 76% tax-exempt floating rate notes, 1% fixed rate notes and 23% commercial paper. The large composition of floating rate notes provided the Fund with ample liquidity. The investments in commercial paper provided more relative value than fixed rate notes and bonds. The entire portfolio was 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.
I am sad to report that Fund Trustee David M. Phillips has passed away. Mr. Phillips served as an Independent Trustee of the Heritage Funds since their inception in 1985 and was a strong advocate for shareholders. He is survived by his wife Ruth Ann and their two children.
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/0001193125-06-217992/g78266g92h14.jpg)

Please consider the investment objectives, risk, 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) 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.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements.
Heritage Cash Trust—Municipal Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1: | Organization and Investment Objective. 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. |
Note 2: | Significant Accounting Policies. |
Use of Estimates. 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 and those differences could be material.
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 of 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 investments for both financial and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Revenue Recognition. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
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. 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 4: | Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates. 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
| | Investment Advisory Fee
| |
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, 2006 was $465,678. The manager has contractually agreed, for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, to waive its fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent that the annual operating expense rate exceed 0.74% of its average daily net assets. No fees were waived and no expenses were reimbursed for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006. For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2007, the Manager has contractually agreed to renew this agreement at the rate noted above. The agreement allows the Manager the right to recover, from the Fund, any fees waived and/or reimbursed if the total annual operating expenses are less than the expense limitation then in effect. The fees can be recovered within the two fiscal years following the year for which the fees were waived and/or reimbursed.

Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
Subadvisory Fees. The Manager entered into a subadvisory agreement with AllianceBernstein L.P. (formerly known as Alliance Capital Management L.P.) 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 equal to 0.125% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $100 million, 0.10% of average daily net assets from $100 million to $250 million and 0.05% of average daily net assets exceeding $250 million, computed daily and payable monthly.
Distribution Fees. Pursuant to a plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under 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 amount payable to the Distributor as of August 31, 2006 was $154,723. The Manager, Distributor, Fund Accountant and Shareholder Servicing Agent are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of Raymond James Financial, Inc. (“RJF”).
Change of Distributor. Heritage Fund Distributors, Inc. (“HFD”) began operations on July 1, 2006 and is in the process of moving all of the selling agreements from RJA, the Fund’s current distributor, to HFD. HFD is an approved distributor by the Heritage Board of Trustees and expects to be the Fund’s sole distributor by December 31, 2006. In the interim, the Fund will operate with dual distributors; RJA and HFD. This change will have minimal impact, if any, to the Fund.
Affiliate Transaction. The Fund entered into a security transaction with the Distributor for the sale of $4,200,000 par of a short-term municipal bond on December 30, 2005. The Distributor was the remarketing agent for the security. The transaction was executed at par and there were no commissions paid to the Distributor for the transaction.
Fund Accounting Fees. The Manager is the Fund Accountant for the Fund. For providing Fund Accounting Services, the Manager receives payment from the Fund at a fixed base fee per fund and any out-of-pocket expenses. The Manager charged $97,990 for Fund Accounting services, of which $8,563 was payable as of August 31, 2006.
Shareholder Servicing Fees. The Manager is the Shareholder Servicing Agent for the Fund. For providing Shareholder Servicing, the Manager receives payment from the Fund at a fixed fee per shareholder account plus any out-of-pocket expenses. The Manager charged $269,820 for Shareholder Servicing fees, of which $21,325 was payable as of August 31, 2006.
Trustees and Officers Fees. 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, all of which are investment companies that are also advised by the Manager of the Trust (collectively referred to as the “Heritage Mutual Funds”). Each Trustee of the Heritage Mutual Funds who is not an employee of the Manager or employee of an affiliate of the Manager receives an annual retainer along with meeting fees for those Heritage Mutual Funds meetings attended. Trustees’ fees and expenses are paid equally by each portfolio in the Heritage Mutual Funds. Certain Officers of the
Heritage Cash Trust—Municipal Money Market Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
Heritage Mutual Funds may also be Officers and/or Directors of Heritage. Such Officers receive no compensation from the Heritage Mutual Funds except for the Heritage Mutual Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officers’ total compensation is paid equally by each portfolio in the Heritage Mutual Funds. As of August 31, 2006, the amount of Trustees and Officers fees payable was $7,355.
Note 5: | 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 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, 2006, 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. |
Note 6: | New Accounting Pronouncement. In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the accounting and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. The Manager is evaluating the application of FIN 48 to the Fund, and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements. |

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, 2006, 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, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Heritage Cash Trust—Municipal Money Market Fund
Understanding Your Ongoing Costs
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges, or redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. The following sections are intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual 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 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 contact your financial advisor.
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, 2006 and held through August 31, 2006. 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 and assuming for the period a hypothetical 5% annualized rate of return before ongoing expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. 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.

Heritage Cash Trust—Municipal Money Market Fund
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
Overview. At a meeting held on August 15, 2006, the Board, 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 AllianceBernstein L.P. (“Subadviser”) (together, the “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 with information and reports relevant to the annual renewal of the Agreements, including: reports regarding the services and support provided to the Fund and its shareholders by Heritage and Subadviser; information 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 Fund, Heritage and the Subadviser including responses to 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 substantial and detailed information about the Fund, Heritage and the Subadviser. Among other matters, these reports included information on: (1) the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided by Heritage and the Subadviser; (2) the personnel of Heritage and the Subadviser; (3) the financial condition of Heritage and the Subadviser; (4) the compliance programs and records of Heritage and the Subadviser; (5) the performance of the Fund as compared to its peer group and an appropriate benchmark; (6) the Fund’s expenses, including the advisory fee, the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to peer funds, and any applicable contractual expense limitations; (7) the anticipated effect of growth and size on the Fund’s performance and expenses, where applicable; (8) benefits to be realized by Heritage, the Subadviser and their respective affiliates; and (9) the estimated profitability of Heritage and the Subadviser under the Agreements, when available. The Board posed questions to various management personnel of Heritage regarding certain key aspects of the materials submitted in support of the renewal.
With respect to the renewal of the 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. Because Heritage’s fee is a combined fee covering investment advisory and administration fees under the current agreement, the Board did not consider a comparison of Heritage’s advisory fee relative to other similar funds.

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(continued)
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 approve the Agreement 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. The Board noted that Heritage oversees and monitors the performance and services provided by the Subadviser and is responsible for the selection of Fund subadvisers. Heritage also provides investment management, administration, transfer agent and fund accounting services to the Fund. In addition, Heritage is responsible for 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. 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.
With respect to the Subadviser, the Board noted that 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 also 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 material matters that may have arisen in connection with Heritage’s and the Subadviser’s compliance program and certifications as to the adequacy of such programs; and (3) the financial information regarding Heritage and the Subadviser.
Investment Performance. The Board considered the short-, intermediate- and long-term total returns of the Fund’s Class A shares relative to its peer group and a comparable account of the Subadviser. In this regard, the Board noted that: (1) the Fund is managed conservatively to maintain a AAAm rating from Standard & Poor’s; (2) the total return of the Fund’s Class A shares was higher the one-year period, on par for the three-year period and lower for the five-year period ended June 30, 2006 compared to the average of similar funds; (3) the total return of the Fund’s Class A shares was higher for all relevant periods ended May 31, 2006 compared to a comparable account of the Subadviser; and (4) the explanation that the conservative style of management requires higher quality and thus, lower yielding tax-exempt securities, which may reduce total return performance.
Costs, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board considered the fees payable by the Fund under the Agreements. In this connection, the Board evaluated Heritage’s costs and profitability in providing services to the Fund. The Board noted that Heritage’s profits on the services it provided to the Fund are reasonable in light of Heritage’s costs in providing services to the Fund and that Heritage manages the Fund’s assets and provides a comprehensive compliance program for the Fund.

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(continued)
The Board also considered the expense ratio for the Fund compared to the average expense ratio of its peer group. The Board noted that the Fund’s expense ratio (less the Rule 12b-1 fees) was less than the average for its peer group of similar funds. In addition, Heritage committed to continue the expense cap arrangement through the Fund’s 2007 fiscal year. With respect to the subadvisory agreement, the Board considered the Subadviser’s representation that the fees it charges are competitive with comparable subadvisory fees for managing money market assets and that it does not manage other similar funds. The Board also noted that the Subadviser’s profit margin was reasonable considering the costs of providing services to the Fund and its responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio.
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’s fee schedule contains several breakpoints. The Board also recognized that the current asset levels of the Fund have not reached a level at which a new breakpoint would be considered.
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 a 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 under the transfer agent agreement.
Benefits. In evaluating Heritage’s and the Subadviser’s compensation, the Board considered other benefits that may be realized by Heritage and the Subadviser 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, and receives 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 Funds. The Subadviser represented that it does not receive any other benefits other than compensation.
The Board also recognized that other affiliates of Heritage, Heritage Fund Distributors, Inc. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“RJA”), serve as the principal underwriters and distributors for the Fund, and as such, receive Rule 12b-1 payments from the Fund to compensate them for providing services and distribution activities, which 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. Based on these considerations, the Board concluded with respect to the Fund that: (1) the Fund was reasonably likely to benefit from the nature, quality and extent of Heritage’s and the Subadviser’s services; (2) the Fund’s performance was satisfactory in light of all the factors considered by the Board; (3) Heritage’s profits and fees payable under the Agreement to Heritage were reasonable in the context of all the factors considered by the Board; (4) the Subadviser’s fee rate was reasonable in the context of all the factors considered by the Board; and (5) the current advisory fee structure 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 Agreements.

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.
