| Information About Your Fund’s Expenses |
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section. The following tables are intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. In the most recent six-month period, the Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The tables are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period ended June 30, 2005.
The tables illustrate your Fund’s expenses in two ways:
| | |
n | | Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund’s actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, 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 “Expenses Paid per $1,000” line. |
|
n | | Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare your Fund’s ongoing expenses (but not transaction costs) with those of other mutual funds using the Fund’s actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. |
Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs. The “Expenses Paid per $1,000” line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expense of owning different funds. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher.

| Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
Note 1—Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
A. Organization
Scudder Institutional Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end, diversified management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Cash Management Fund Institutional (the “Fund”) is one of several funds the Trust offers to investors.
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Scudder Cash Management Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), an open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act and advised by Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. (“DeAM, Inc.” or the “Advisor”). Details concerning the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies and the risk factors associated with the Portfolio’s investments are described in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
At June 30, 2005, the Fund owned approximately 30% of the Portfolio. The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Investment Portfolio, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.
The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
B. Security Valuation
The Fund determines the value of its investment in the Portfolio by multiplying its proportionate ownership of the Portfolio by the total value of the Portfolio’s net assets.
The Portfolio’s policies for determining the value of its net assets are discussed in the Portfolio’s financial statements which accompany this report.
C. Federal Income Taxes
The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.
10 Cash Management Fund Institutional
D. Distribution of Income
Net investment income of the Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly.
Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book to tax differences for the Fund.
The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
E. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
F. Other
The Fund receives a daily allocation of the Portfolio’s net investment income and net realized gains and losses in proportion to its investment in the Portfolio. Expenses directly attributed to a fund are charged to that fund, while expenses which are attributable to the Trust are allocated among the funds in the Trust on the basis of relative net assets.
Note 2—Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. (“DeAM, Inc.” or the “Advisor”) is the Advisor for the Portfolio and Investment Company Capital Corp. (“ICCC” or the “Administrator”) is the Administrator for the Fund, both indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Deutsche Bank AG. The Fund pays the Administrator an annual fee (“Administrator Service Fee”) based on its average daily net assets which is calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.05%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, and through April 30, 2006, the Advisor and Administrator contractually agreed to waive a portion of their fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the annualized expenses of the Fund at 0.23%, including expenses (excluding extraordinary expenses) of the Portfolio.
Cash Management Fund Institutional 11
Accordingly, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Administrator waived a portion of its Administrator Service Fee as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Total | | | Amount | | | Annualized | | | |

|
|
Cash Management Fund Institutional | | $ | 586,423 | | | $ | 75,887 | | | | 0. | 04% | | |
|
Typesetting and Filing Service Fees. Under an agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. (“DeIM”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, DeIM is compensated for providing typesetting and regulatory filing services to the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the amount charged to the Fund by DeIM included in the reports to shareholders aggregated $13,290, of which $5,280 is unpaid at June 30, 2005.
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses. As compensation for his or her services, each Independent Trustee receives an aggregate annual fee, plus a fee for each meeting attended (plus reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his or her attendance at board and committee meetings) from each Fund in the Fund Complex for which he or she serves. In addition, the Chairman of the Fund Complex’s Audit Committee receives an annual fee for his services. Payment of such fee and expenses is allocated among all such Funds described above in direct proportion to their relative net assets.
Note 3—Regulatory Matters and Litigation
Since at least July 2003, federal, state and industry regulators have been conducting ongoing inquiries and investigations (“inquiries”) into the mutual fund industry, and have requested information from numerous mutual fund companies, including Scudder Investments. It is not possible to determine what the outcome of these inquiries will be or what the effect, if any, would be on the funds or their advisors. Publicity about mutual fund practices arising from these industry-wide inquiries serves as the general basis of a number of private lawsuits against the Scudder funds. These lawsuits, which previously have been reported in the press, involve purported class action and derivative lawsuits, making various allegations and naming as defendants various persons, including certain Scudder funds, the funds’ investment advisors and their affiliates, certain individuals, including in some cases fund Trustees/Directors, officers, and other parties. Each Scudder fund’s investment advisor has agreed to indemnify the applicable Scudder funds in connection with
12 Cash Management Fund Institutional
these lawsuits, or other lawsuits or regulatory actions that may be filed making allegations similar to these lawsuits regarding market timing, revenue sharing, fund valuation or other subjects arising from or related to the pending inquiries. Based on currently available information, the funds’ investment advisors believe the likelihood that the pending lawsuits will have a material adverse financial impact on a Scudder fund is remote and such actions are not likely to materially affect their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the Scudder funds.

| |
| Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
Note 1—Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
A. Organization
The Scudder Cash Management Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company organized as a New York business trust.
The Portfolio’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.
B. Security Valuation
Portfolio securities are valued utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
C. Repurchase Agreements
The Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Portfolio, through its custodian or sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. The custodian bank holds the collateral in a separate account until the agreement matures. If the value of the securities falls below the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus accrued interest, the financial institution deposits additional collateral by the following business day. If the financial institution either fails to deposit the required additional collateral or fails to repurchase the securities as agreed, the Portfolio has the right to sell the securities and recover any resulting loss from the financial institution. If the financial institution enters into bankruptcy, the Portfolio’s claims on the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
Scudder Cash Management Portfolio 23
D. Federal Income Taxes
The Portfolio is considered a Partnership under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is necessary.
E. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet been made. However, based on experience, the Portfolio expects the risk of loss to be remote.
F. Other
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions of income and capital gains from investment companies are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized for both tax and financial reporting purposes.
The Portfolio makes a daily allocation of its net investment income and realized gains and losses from securities transactions to its investors in proportion to their investment in the Portfolio.
Note 2—Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. (“DeAM, Inc.” or the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, is the Portfolio’s Advisor. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Portfolio pays the Advisor an annual fee based on its average daily net assets which is calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.15%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, and through April 30, 2006, the Advisor and Administrator maintained the annualized expenses of the Portfolio at not more than 0.18% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The amount of the waiver and whether the Advisor and Administrator waive a portion of their fees may vary at any time without notice to the shareholders.

Accordingly, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 the Advisor waived a portion of its Advisory fee as follows:

Scudder Cash Management Portfolio | | $ | 7,719,905 | | | $ | 1,366,086 | | | | 0.12% | | | |
|
Investment Company Capital Corp. (“ICCC” or the “Administrator”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, is the Portfolio’s Administrator. The Portfolio pays the Administrator an annual fee (“Administrator service fee”) based on its average daily net assets which is calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.05%.
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses. As compensation for his or her services, each Independent Trustee receives an aggregate annual fee, plus a fee for each meeting attended (plus reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his or her attendance at board and committee meetings) from each Fund in the Fund Complex for which he or she serves. In addition, the Chairman of the Fund Complex’s Audit Committee receives an annual fee for his services. Payment of such fees and expenses is allocated among all such Funds described above in direct proportion to their relative net assets.
Note 3—Expense Reductions
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Advisor agreed to reimburse the Fund $50,028, which represents a portion of the fee savings expected to be realized by the Advisor related to the outsourcing by the Advisor of certain administrative services to an unaffiliated service provider.
Note 4—Line of Credit
The Portfolio and several other affiliated funds (the “Participants”) share in a $1.1 billion revolving credit facility administered by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated, based upon net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent. The Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 5 percent of its net assets under this agreement.

Note 5—Regulatory Matters and Litigation
Since at least July 2003, federal, state and industry regulators have been conducting ongoing inquiries and investigations (“inquiries”) into the mutual fund industry, and have requested information from numerous mutual fund companies, including Scudder Investments. It is not possible to determine what the outcome of these inquiries will be or what the effect, if any, would be on the funds or their advisors. Publicity about mutual fund practices arising from these industry-wide inquiries serves as the general basis of a number of private lawsuits against the Scudder funds. These lawsuits, which previously have been reported in the press, involve purported class action and derivative lawsuits, making various allegations and naming as defendants various persons, including certain Scudder funds, the funds’ investment advisors and their affiliates, certain individuals, including in some cases fund Trustees/Directors, officers, and other parties. Each Scudder fund’s investment advisor has agreed to indemnify the applicable Scudder funds in connection with these lawsuits, or other lawsuits or regulatory actions that may be filed making allegations similar to these lawsuits regarding market timing, revenue sharing, fund valuation or other subjects arising from or related to the pending inquiries. Based on currently available information, the funds’ investment advisors believe the likelihood that the pending lawsuits will have a material adverse financial impact on a Scudder fund is remote and such actions are not likely to materially affect their ability to perform under their investment management agreements with the Scudder funds.
