Dear Shareholder: |
Thank you for investing in Investors Municipal Cash Fund. To provide you with an update on holdings and financial highlights, on the following pages you will find the fund's semiannual report for the six-month period ended September 30, 2003. The fund's series includes:
• Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund
• Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund
• Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund
• Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund
• Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund
Briefly, for the six-month period ended September 30, 2003, the fund's portfolios achieved their stated objectives of providing maximum current income while maintaining stability of principal.
Economic Review
Over the past six months, the US equity market made a strong comeback, and the bull market for bonds ended, at least for the moment. Early signs of renewed economic growth have largely been the result of the Federal Reserve's strong monetary and fiscal policy. Inflation is still under control, with the Fed retaining a strong focus on this issue. But the risk of deflation also remains a concern, and short-term interest rate increases by central banks seem unlikely in the near future. During the period, the supply of short-term municipal paper increased sharply due to soft economic growth and slowdowns in state tax collections. Yields on one-year notes rose substantially, and the municipal money market yield curve shifted from an inverted to a positive slope, signaling investor preference for shorter maturities.
Over the reporting period, we targeted an average maturity that was neutral to the benchmark. We also actively adjusted the fund's holdings to prepare for seasonal events such as April tax-time redemptions and increased issuance periods in June and July. Our neutral positioning helped the fund navigate a volatile environment for interest rates, as well as state and local government budgetary uncertainty. We continued to focus on the highest-quality investments while seeking competitive yields across the municipal money market investment spectrum. In particular, we emphasized essential services revenue issues and "enhanced paper" - securities guaranteed by a third party such as a bank or insurance company. During the reporting period, we witnessed increased state issuance in the market, particularly Texas and California, which placed pressure

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
* Recent and any future declines in interest rate levels could cause the funds' earnings to fall below each fund's expense ratios, resulting in a negative yield. The advisor has agreed to voluntarily waive expenses as necessary to maintain a minimum distribution yield. This waiver may be changed or terminated at any time without notice. Otherwise, the 7-day current average yields of the Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund, Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund, Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund, Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund and Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund would have been ..16%, -.21%, -.63%, -.21% and -.41%, respectively, as of September 30, 2003.
on the market such that the one-year note yields were at levels not seen since April 2003. During the period, the funds were able to take advantage of this situation by participating in high-quality, liquid municipal note sales at attractive levels.
Currently the fund's portfolios are positioned with an average maturity target of approximately 40-45 days. Going forward, we continue to rebalance the fund's portfolios based on cash flows, asset growth, and supply and demand. We will also continue to manage the fund's portfolios conservatively, maintaining high quality, adjusting weighted average maturities in response to market conditions and strictly limiting exposure to any one issuer.
Thank you again for your investment. We look forward to serving your investment needs in the months and years to come.
Sincerely,

Notes
Yields are historical, will fluctuate, and do not guarantee future performance. The portfolios' net yields are the sum of the daily dividend rates for the period.
The equivalent taxable yield allows you to compare the fund with the performance of taxable money market funds. The New York Fund equivalent taxable yield is based upon the fund's yield and a combined Federal and State of New York income tax rate of 40.01%. The Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Michigan Funds equivalent taxable yields are based upon the funds' yields and a combined Federal and State marginal income tax rate of 36.82%, 39.14% and 37.60%, respectively. The Florida Fund equivalent taxable yield is based upon the fund's yield and 35.00% Federal income tax rate. Income may be subject to local taxes and for some investors, the alternative minimum tax.
Like all money market funds, 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 your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Investors Municipal Cash Fund (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end, non-diversified management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust offers five series of shares - Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund, Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund, Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund, Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund and Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund (the "Funds").
The Funds' 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 Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
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.
Federal Income Taxes. Each 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 tax-exempt income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.
At March 31, 2003, the Funds had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward as follows, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first:
Capital loss Carryforward ($) | Expiration | |
Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | 72 | 3/31/2009 |
896 | 3/31/2011 | |
Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund | 12 | 3/31/2009 |
50 | 3/31/2010 | |
Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund | 7 | 3/31/2009 |
Distribution of Income. All of the net investment income of each Fund is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book-to-tax differences for the Funds.
At March 31, 2003, the Funds' components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis are as follows:
Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income* | $ 7,070 |

* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.
The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.
Expenses. Expenses of the Trust arising in connection with a specific Fund are allocated to that Fund. Other Trust expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust.
Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. 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.
Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement with Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM" or the "Advisor"), the Advisor directs the investments of the Funds in accordance with their investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Funds. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. Each Fund pays a monthly investment management fee of 1/12 of the annual rate of 0.22% of the first $500,000,000 of the average daily net assets, 0.20% of the next $500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.175% of the next $1,000,000,000 of such net assets, 0.16% of the next $1,000,000,000 of such net assets and 0.15% of such net assets in excess of $3,000,000,000, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. Accordingly, for the six months ended September 30, 2003, the fees pursuant to the Management Agreement were equivalent to an annual effective rate of each Fund's average daily net assets as follows:
Fund | Total Aggregated ($) | Not Imposed ($) | Effective Rate (%) |
Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | 54,812 | - | .22 |

Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund | 35,271 | - | .22 |
Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund | 8,141 | 8,141 | .00 |
The Advisor and certain of its subsidiaries have voluntarily agreed to maintain the annual expenses of the Funds as follows:
For the period March 31, 2003 to September 30, 2003: | |
Fund | Expense Limit* |
Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | 1.00% |
Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund | 1.00% |
Investors Florida Municipal Cash Fund | 1.00% |
Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund | 1.00% |
Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund | .85% |

Under this agreement, for the period ended September 30, 2003, the Advisor reimbursed additional expenses as follows:
Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund | $ 20,516 |
Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund | $ 20,427 |
In addition, the Advisor has agreed to voluntarily waive expenses as necessary to maintain a positive yield. This waiver may be changed or terminated at any time without notice. Under these arrangements, the Advisor reimbursed additional expenses as follows:
Investors Pennsylvania Municipal Cash Fund | $ 3,620 |
Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund | $ 555 |
Service Provider Fees. Scudder Investments Service Company ("SISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer, dividend-paying and shareholder service agent of the Trust. Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency agreement between SISC and DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), SISC has delegated certain transfer agent and dividend paying agent functions to DST. The cost and expense of such delegations are borne by SISC, not by the Funds. For the the six months ended September 30, 2003, SISC received shareholder services fees as follows:
Fund | Total Aggregated ($) | Not Imposed ($) | Unpaid at September 30, 2003 ($) |
Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | 12,910 | 11,385 | 4,570 |

Investors New Jersey Municipal Cash Fund | 24,571 | 24,571 | - |
Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund | 1,926 | 1,926 | - |
Distribution Service Agreement. Each Fund has a shareholder services and distribution agreement with Scudder Distributors, Inc. ("SDI"). For its services as primary distributor, each Fund pays SDI an annual fee of 0.50% of average daily net assets, except for the Investors Michigan Municipal Cash Fund, which pays an annual fee of 0.35% of average daily net assets pursuant to separate Rule 12b-1 plans for each Fund. The amount charged to each Fund by SDI, for the six months ended September 30, 2003, was as follows:

Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Trust pays each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor retainer fees plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.
2. Expense Off-Set Arrangements
Each Fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of each Fund's expenses. During the six months ended September 30, 2003, the Funds' custodian fees were reduced as follows:
Fund | Custodian Fee ($) |
Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund | 62 |
