What makes American Funds different?	back cover

Figures shown in this report are past results for Class A shares and are not predictive of results in future periods. Current and future results may be lower or higher than those shown. Investment returns will vary. Although the funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the funds. Investing for short periods makes losses more likely. Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity. For current information and month-end results, visit americanfunds.com.

The total annual fund operating expense ratios for Class A shares as of the most recent fiscal year-end were 0.51% for The Cash Management Trust of America, 0.57% for The U.S. Treasury Money Fund of America and 0.51% for The Tax-Exempt Money Fund of America. These figures do not reflect any fee waivers currently in effect; therefore, the actual expense ratios are lower.

Results for Class B, C, F and 529 shares of The Cash Management Trust of America can be found on page 3.

Investments outside the United States involve additional risks.

Income from The Tax-Exempt Money Fund of America may be subject to state or local income taxes and/or federal alternative minimum taxes. Certain other income may be taxable.

Fellow shareholders:

Short-term interest rates were relatively stable during the first half of the funds’ fiscal year. Toward the middle of the second half, however, short-term rates started to move down a bit when concerns about the strength of the housing market and economy led the Federal Reserve to reduce short-term rates 50 basis points — the first reduction since it started to raise the federal funds rate in June 2004. In this environment, The Cash Management Trust of America, The U.S. Treasury Money Fund of America and the Tax-Exempt Money Fund of America generated solid returns for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. All three maintained a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.

The funds’ results

The Cash Management Trust of America produced an income return of 4.94%, with dividends reinvested, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. The fund’s seven-day yield as of that date was 4.83%.

The U.S. Treasury Money Fund of America generated a 12-month income return of 4.43%, including reinvested dividends. Because all of the fund’s earnings are derived from investments in U.S. Treasury securities, the income paid by the fund is exempt from state and local taxes. The fund’s annualized seven-day yield for the week ended September 30, 2007, was 3.80%, reflecting the rush into Treasury bills as investors lost confidence in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis.

The Tax-Exempt Money Fund of America provided a federally tax-free income return of 3.19%, with dividends reinvested, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. The income return is equivalent to a taxable return of 4.91% for investors in the 35.0% tax bracket. A portion of this return may also be exempt from some state and local taxes. The fund’s annualized seven-day yield at the end of the period was 3.25%, and its taxable equivalent annualized seven-day yield was 5.00%.

The Fed and the economy

During the second half of the funds’ fiscal year, investor concern over the housing market, mortgages and risk premiums — on lower rated bonds in particular — continued to grow. This led to a flight to quality, as investors sought out the relative safety of U.S. Treasury bills, which in turn saw an increase in prices as yields declined in the last few months of the funds’ fiscal period.

To help cushion the economy from the effects of the housing slump and to foster better corporate lending conditions, the Federal Reserve lowered its key lending rates. In August it lowered the discount rate by half a point and in September it lowered the federal funds target rate and the discount rate by half a point each. The Fed’s rate cut was generally well received by the market; concerns about inflation, however, still linger.

In addition to inflation, investors remain anxious about the future strength of the economy and consumer spending in the face of the ongoing housing slump. That anxiety, in turn, has led to uncertainty about the future of short-term rates.

In a time of increased uncertainty and market volatility, money market funds can play an important role in providing some stability for your portfolio. Indeed, our intensive issuer research helped the funds maintain a level of stability as the credit markets went through a correction over the latter months of the funds’ fiscal year. To learn more about our credit review procedures please turn to page 4.

The funds’ objective

Our money market funds are managed to provide shareholders with a reasonable return while protecting the principal invested. As part of a broader portfolio that includes stock and bond funds, they offer relative stability while serving as a haven for cash that might be needed at a moment’s notice or applied to future investments. Whether used as a temporary holding place or simply as a way to earn income on the cash-reserve portion of a balanced portfolio, the stability and convenience of a money market fund can be instrumental in helping you achieve your long-term financial goals.

Cordially,

One of our most important concerns when investing in money market instruments is the evaluation of the credit worthiness of the issuer. Credit rating agencies provide analysis and apply a “grade” to investments, but there is no substitute for doing our own research and analysis. The importance of undertaking independent risk reviews was emphasized during this past summer’s liquidity squeeze in some parts of the short-term credit markets, sparked by trouble in the subprime mortgage sector.

Spotlight on:  Our credit review process

[photo of a stack of colored folders]

The total amount of outstanding money market investments, all having a maturity of one year or less, is several trillion dollars. The market is made up primarily of Treasury bills, issues of federal agencies, bank certificates of deposit and commercial paper. Within commercial paper there is:

• Traditional commercial paper. Used by financial and industrial companies to fund their short-term capital needs.

• Commercial paper conduits. Used by banks and corporations to finance loans to smaller borrowers. These typically have bank liquidity backup agreements and other credit enhancements.

• Structured Investment Vehicles (SIVs). Used mainly to finance pools of mortgages, some of which may be subprime in credit quality and carry an increased risk of default.

Based on our credit evaluations, we felt that the commercial paper issued by the mortgage-related SIVs, in particular those holding subprime assets, was not safe enough for your money market funds.

How we evaluate credit

Following a turbulent period in the credit markets in the early 1990s, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) amended its rules to require money market funds to conduct more comprehensive credit reviews of eligible commercial paper. To be eligible, the commercial paper’s issuer must carry one of the two highest credit rankings from at least two of the nationally recognized statistical rating agencies (see box on page 6).

“Of course, we looked at the new rule and, as is often the case, applied additional guidelines that went well beyond what the SEC was asking for,” notes Louise Moriarty, a vice president with Capital Research and Management Company who leads our money market credit analysis efforts.

Our money market analysts maintain and monitor an approved investment list of approximately 200 short-term credit issuers that the money market traders then use to identify opportunities in which to invest for the funds. Each money market analyst has a specialty, such as corporate, structured or municipal credit. Together they closely watch the credit quality of the issuers and work toward removing those who no longer represent minimal credit risk. Our credit review procedures include:

• Ongoing monitoring. Our analysts review each issuer annually, although semiannual reports are more common. Analysts may also initiate a review at any time. For example, a review may be triggered by news of deteriorating operations, rumors of a potential merger or acquisition, or the announcement of a policy decision that may impact the issuer’s credit standing.

• Presentations to the Short-Term Investment and Compliance Review Committee. This committee — made up of analysts, portfolio counselors and legal counsel — generally meets at least twice a month. Analysts share their credit reports with the group, and the committee reviews the recommendations concerning which issuers meet our standard of quality and at times suggests the need for further research.

What is commercial paper?

Commercial paper is a short-term, unsecured debt instrument issued by a corporation or financial entity. It’s used, primarily, to provide short-term funds for seasonal or working capital needs, although commercial paper instruments have become considerably more complicated within the last decade.

What is a liquidity squeeze?

In the instance of this past summer, the subprime mortgage problem sparked a concern that many debt obligations were riskier than previously thought. This led to a situation where issuers with high concentrations in the mortgage business found it increasingly difficult to obtain short-term financing as financial institutions and investors grew wary of lending them money.

The rating agencies
All investments carry some inherent risk — in the commercial paper market it’s primarily credit risk, or the concern that an issuer won’t be able to pay back the loan. There are three major rating agencies that assess the credit quality of commercial paper issuers; we utilize the two shown below in researching potential holdings.
	Moody’s	Standard & Poor’s
Superior	P1	A1+ or A1
Satisfactory	P2	A2
Adequate	P3	A3
Speculative	NP	B or C

• Leveraging the expertise of other analysts. Our money market analysts are fully integrated into our fixed-income group. They work closely with the fixed-income analysts that follow the same companies’ longer term debt securities. This allows them to use that research in evaluating the underlying credit quality of the issuers. They also speak with our equity analysts who follow the companies that issue the commercial paper we buy. As a result, our money market analysts gain a well-rounded view of these companies and an awareness of the potential future challenges an issuer may face.

During the recent debt market unease, our analysts systematically reviewed all issuers concerning their possible exposure to subprime mortgages. “Our analysts reviewed the structures of the programs we buy in order to confirm that they still provided acceptable credit risk,” says Terry Cook, a money market trader for the funds’ adviser, Capital Research and Management.

Putting it all together

Money market funds are not only bound by rules regarding quality, they must also be concerned about the diversity and the maturity of the investments they purchase. The rules, imposed by the SEC, limit the credit risk exposure of money market funds by restricting their investments to eligible commercial paper.

While the SEC includes as eligible holdings money market instruments having either the highest or second highest quality ratings, The Cash Management Trust of America and The Tax-Exempt Money Fund of America may currently invest only in eligible commercial paper with the highest short-term ratings. The U.S. Treasury Money Fund of America invests only in U.S. Treasuries. Of course credit ratings are just one small part of the process, as our analysts make their own evaluations of the credit risks.

While no one can profess to have perfect knowledge, proactive research that looks beyond credit ratings can help provide clarity with regard to a fund’s overall holdings. It is, in fact, essential to the review process our analysts apply as they seek investments for The Cash Management Trust of America and The Tax-Exempt Money Fund of America. “At the end of the day, we want our research to be ahead of the rating agencies,” says Louise.

Notes to financial statements

1.   Organization and significant accounting policies

Organization– The Cash Management Trust of America (the "fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company. The fund seeks to provide income on cash reserves, while preserving capital and maintaining liquidity, through investments in high-quality short-term money market instruments.

The fund offers 14 share classes consisting of four retail share classes, five 529 college savings plan share classes and five retirement plan share classes. The 529 college savings plan share classes (529-A, 529-B, 529-C, 529-E and 529-F) can be utilized to save for college education. The five retirement plan share classes (R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5) are sold without any sales charges and do not carry any conversion rights. The fund’s share classes are described below:

Share class	Initial sales charge	Contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption	Conversion feature
Class A and 529-A	None	None	None
Class B and 529-B	None	Declines from 5% to 0% for redemptions within six years of purchase	Class B and 529-B convert to Class A and 529-A, respectively, after eight years
Class C	None	1% for redemptions within one year of purchase	Class C converts to Class F after 10 years
Class 529-C	None	1% for redemptions within one year of purchase	None
Class 529-E	None	None	None
Class F and 529-F	None	None	None
Class R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5	None	None	None

Holders of all share classes have equal pro rata rights to assets, dividends and liquidation proceeds. Each share class has identical voting rights, except for the exclusive right to vote on matters affecting only its class. Share classes have different fees and expenses ("class-specific fees and expenses"), primarily due to different arrangements for distribution, administrative and shareholder services. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different per-share dividends by each class.

Significant accounting policies– The financial statements have been prepared to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the fund:

Net asset value– The fund values its shares in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules, using the penny-rounding method, which permits the fund to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.

Security valuation– Fixed-income securities, including short-term securities purchased with more than 60 days left to maturity, are valued at prices obtained from an independent pricing service when such prices are available. However, where the investment adviser deems it appropriate, such securities will be valued at the mean quoted bid and asked prices (or bid prices, if asked prices are not available) or at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par when they reach 60 days or less remaining to maturity. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, state or region.

Securities and other assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the investment adviser are fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the fund's board of trustees. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions.

Security transactions and related investment income– Security transactions are recorded by the fund as of the date the trades are executed with brokers. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security.

Class allocations –Income, fees and expenses (other than class-specific fees and expenses) are allocated daily among the various share classes based on the relative value of their settled shares. Unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily among the various share classes based on their relative net assets. Class-specific fees and expenses, such as distribution, administrative and shareholder services, are charged directly to the respective share class.

Dividends to shareholders–Dividends paid to shareholders are declared daily after the determination of the fund’s net investment income and are paid to shareholders monthly.

2. Federal income taxation and distributions                                                                                                                                

The fund complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to mutual funds and intends to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income each year. The fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The fund adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on June 29, 2007. The implementation of FIN 48 resulted in no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no material change to the beginning net asset value of the fund.

As of and during the period ended September 30, 2007, the fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

The fund is not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for tax years before 2003 and by state tax authorities for tax years before 2002.

Distributions– Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income for financial reporting purposes. As of September 30, 2007, there were no material differences between book and tax reporting. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income is recorded by the fund for financial reporting purposes.

During the year ended September 30, 2007, the fund reclassified $4,000 from distributions in excess of net investment income to capital paid in on shares of beneficial interest to align financial reporting with tax reporting.

As of September 30, 2007, the tax basis components of distributable earnings, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investment securities were as follows:

	(dollars in thousands)
Undistributed ordinary income	$	1,443
Short-term loss carryforwards expiring 2013*		(4	)
Gross unrealized appreciation on investment securities		387
Gross unrealized depreciation on investment securities		(991	)
Net unrealized depreciation on investment securities		(604	)
Cost of investment securities		14,830,376
*The short-term loss carryforwards will be used to offset any short-term gains realized by the fund in future years through the expiration date. The fund will not make distributions from short-term gains while short-term loss carryforwards remain.

Distributions paid or accrued to shareholders from ordinary income were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Share class	Year ended September 30, 2007		Year ended September 30, 2006
Class A	$	502,094	$	352,008
Class B		6,604		4,541

Total	$	598,414	$	411,128

3. Fees and transactions with related parties

Capital Research and Management Company ("CRMC"), the fund’s investment adviser, is the parent company of American Funds Service Company ^SM ("AFS"), the fund’s transfer agent, and American Funds Distributors, ^SM Inc. ("AFD"), the principal underwriter of the fund’s shares.

Investment advisory services–The Investment Advisory and Service Agreement with CRMC provides for monthly fees accrued daily. These fees are based on a declining series of annual rates beginning with 0.320% on the first $1 billion of daily net assets and decreasing to 0.270% on such assets in excess of $2 billion. CRMC is currently waiving 10% of investment advisory services fees. During the year ended September 30, 2007, total investment advisory services fees waived by CRMC were $3,489,000. As a result, the fee shown on the accompanying financial statements of $34,887,000, which was equivalent to an annualized rate of 0.276%, was reduced to $31,398,000, or 0.248% of average daily net assets.

The Investment Advisory and Service Agreement also provides that CRMC will reimburse the fund’s Class A shares to the extent that annual operating expenses exceed 25% of gross income. Expenses related to interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary items are not subject to these limitations. During the year ended September 30, 2007, no such reimbursement was required.

Class-specific fees and expenses – Expenses that are specific to individual share classes are accrued directly to the respective share class. The principal class-specific fees and expenses are described below:

Distribution services – The fund has adopted plans of distribution for all share classes, except Class R-5. Under the plans, the board of trustees approves certain categories of expenses that are used to finance activities primarily intended to sell fund shares and service existing accounts. The plans provide for payments, based on an annualized percentage of average daily net assets, ranging from 0.15% to 1.00% as noted below. In some cases, the board of trustees has limited the amounts that may be paid to less than the maximum allowed by the plans. All share classes may use a portion (0.15% for Class A, B, 529-A and 529-B shares and 0.25% for all other share classes) of average daily net assets to pay service fees, or to compensate AFD for paying service fees, to firms that have entered into agreements with AFD to provide certain shareholder services. The remaining amounts available to be paid under each plan are paid to dealers to compensate them for their sales activities.

Share class	Currently approved limits	Plan limits
Class A	0.15%	0.15%
Class 529-A	0.15	0.50
Class B and 529-B	0.90	0.90
Class C, 529-C and R-1	1.00	1.00
Class R-2	0.75	1.00
Class 529-E and R-3	0.50	0.75
Class F, 529-F and R-4	0.25	0.50

Transfer agent services– The fund has a transfer agent agreement with AFS for Class A and B. Under this agreement, these share classes compensate AFS for transfer agent services including shareholder recordkeeping, communications and transaction processing. AFS is also compensated for certain transfer agent services provided to all other share classes from the administrative services fees paid to CRMC described below.

Administrative services – The fund has an administrative services agreement with CRMC to provide transfer agent and other related shareholder services for all share classes other than Class A and B. Each relevant share class pays CRMC annual fees up to 0.15% (0.10% for Class R-5) based on its respective average daily net assets. Each relevant share class also pays AFS additional amounts for certain transfer agent services. CRMC and AFS may use these fees to compensate third parties for performing these services. CRMC has agreed to pay AFS on the fund's behalf for a portion of the transfer agent services fees for some of the retirement plan share classes. For the year ended September 30, 2007, the total administrative services fees paid by CRMC were $3,000, $560,000 and $1,000 for Class R-1, R-2 and R-3, respectively.Administrative services fees are presented gross of any payments made by CRMC. Each 529 share class is subject to an additional annual administrative services fee of 0.10% of its respective average daily net assets; this fee is payable to the Commonwealth of Virginia for the maintenance of the 529 college savings plan. Although these amounts are included with administrative services fees on the accompanying financial statements, the Commonwealth of Virginia is not considered a related party. 

Expenses under the agreements described above for the year ended September 30, 2007, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Share class	Distribution services	Transfer agent services	Administrative services
			CRMC administrative services	Transfer agent services	Commonwealth of Virginia administrative services
Class A	$7,704	$13,199	Not applicable	Not applicable	Not applicable

Class R-5	Not applicable		155	24	Not applicable
Total	$19,986	$13,372	$2,772	$3,336	$275

Trustees’ deferred compensation– Since the adoption of the deferred compensation plan in 1993, trustees who are unaffiliated with CRMC may elect to defer the cash payment of part or all of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the fund, are treated as if invested in shares of the fund. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the fund and vary according to the total return of the fund. Trustees’ compensation on the accompanying financial statements includes the current fees (either paid in cash or deferred) and the net increase or decrease in the value of the deferred amounts.

Affiliated officers and trustees – Officers and certain trustees of the fund are or may be considered to be affiliated with CRMC, AFS and AFD. No affiliated officers or trustees received any compensation directly from the fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of The Cash Management Trust of America:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Cash Management Trust of America (the "Fund") at September 30, 2007, 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 its financial highlights for each of the periods presented, 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 owned at September 30, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and broker, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Expense example

unaudited

As a shareholder of the fund, you incur certain ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other expenses. Certain share classes also incur transaction costs such as contingent deferred sales charges (loads) on redemptions.  This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007).

Actual expenses:

The first line of each share class in the table on the next page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that 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 first 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:

The second line of each share class in the table on the next page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5.00% hypothetical example with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Notes:

There are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts, such as Individual Retirement Accounts and 529 college savings plan accounts (generally, a $10 fee is charged to set up the account and an additional $10 fee is charged to the account annually) that would increase the amount of expenses paid on your account. In addition, retirement plan participants may be subject to certain fees charged by the plan sponsor, and Class F and 529-F shareholders may be subject to fees charged by financial intermediaries, typically ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% of assets annually depending on services offered. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to financial statements

1.   Organization and significant accounting policies

Organization– The U.S. Treasury Money Fund of America (the "fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company. The fund seeks to provide income on cash reserves, while preserving capital and maintaining liquidity, through investments in U.S. Treasury securities maturing in one year or less.

The fund offers six share classes consisting of one retail share class (Class A) and five retirement plan share classes (R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5). All share classes are sold without any sales charges and do not carry any conversion rights.

Holders of all share classes have equal pro rata rights to assets, dividends and liquidation proceeds. Each share class has identical voting rights, except for the exclusive right to vote on matters affecting only its class. Share classes have different fees and expenses ("class-specific fees and expenses"), primarily due to different arrangements for distribution, administrative and shareholder services. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different per-share dividends by each class.

Significant accounting policies– The financial statements have been prepared to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the fund:

Net asset value– The fund values its shares in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules, using the penny-rounding method, which permits the fund to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.

Security valuation–Fixed-income securities, including short-term securities purchased with more than 60 days left to maturity, are valued at prices obtained from an independent pricing service when such prices are available. However, where the investment adviser deems it appropriate, such securities will be valued at the mean quoted bid and asked prices (or bid prices, if asked prices are not available) or at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par when they reach 60 days or less remaining to maturity.

Securities and other assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the investment adviser are fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the fund's board of trustees.

Security transactions and related investment income– Security transactions are recorded by the fund as of the date the trades are executed with brokers. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security.

Class allocations –Income, fees and expenses (other than class-specific fees and expenses) are allocated daily among the various share classes based on the relative value of their settled shares. Unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily among the various share classes based on their relative net assets. Class-specific fees and expenses, such as distribution, administrative and shareholder services, are charged directly to the respective share class.

Dividends to shareholders–Dividends paid to shareholders are declared daily after the determination of the fund’s net investment income and are paid to shareholders monthly.

2. Federal income taxation and distributions                                                                                                                                

The fund complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to mutual funds and intends to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income each year. The fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The fund adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on June 29, 2007. The implementation of FIN 48 resulted in no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no material change to the beginning net asset value of the fund.

As of and during the period ended September 30, 2007, the fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

The fund is not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for tax years before 2003 and by state tax authorities for tax years before 2002.

Distributions– Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income for financial reporting purposes. As of September 30, 2007, there were no material differences between book and tax reporting. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income is recorded by the fund for financial reporting purposes.

During the year ended September 30, 2007, the fund reclassified $1,000 from undistributed net investment income to capital paid in on shares of beneficial interest to align financial reporting with tax reporting.

As of September 30, 2007, the tax basis components of distributable earnings, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investment securities were as follows:

	(dollars in thousands)
Undistributed ordinary income	$	190
Gross unrealized appreciation on investment securities		323
Gross unrealized depreciation on investment securities		(32	)
Net unrealized appreciation on investment securities		291
Cost of investment securities		828,167

Distributions paid or accrued to shareholders from ordinary income were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Share class	Year ended September 30, 2007		Year ended September 30, 2006
Class A	$	24,200	$	18,249
Class R-1		73		52
Class R-2		1,306		888
Class R-3		1,192		889
Class R-4		419		187
Class R-5		574		368
Total	$	27,764	$	20,633

3. Fees and transactions with related parties

Capital Research and Management Company ("CRMC"), the fund’s investment adviser, is the parent company of American Funds Service Company ^SM ("AFS"), the fund’s transfer agent, and American Funds Distributors, ^SM Inc. ("AFD"), the principal underwriter of the fund’s shares.

Investment advisory services–The Investment Advisory and Service Agreement with CRMC provides for monthly fees accrued daily. These fees are based on an annual rate of 0.300% on the first $800 million of daily net assets and 0.285% on such assets in excess of $800 million. CRMC is currently waiving 10% of investment advisory services fees. During the year ended September 30, 2007, total investment advisory services fees waived by CRMC were $196,000. As a result, the fee shown on the accompanying financial statements of $1,961,000, which was equivalent to an annualized rate of 0.300%, was reduced to $1,765,000, or 0.270% of average daily net assets.

Class-specific fees and expenses – Expenses that are specific to individual share classes are accrued directly to the respective share class. The principal class-specific fees and expenses are described below:

Distribution services – The fund has adopted plans of distribution for all share classes, except Class R-5. Under the plans, the board of trustees approves certain categories of expenses that are used to finance activities primarily intended to sell fund shares and service existing accounts. The plans provide for payments, based on an annualized percentage of average daily net assets, ranging from 0.15% to 1.00% as noted below. In some cases, the board of trustees has limited the amounts that may be paid to less than the maximum allowed by the plans. All share classes may use a portion (0.15% for Class A and 0.25% for all other share classes) of average daily net assets to pay service fees, or to compensate AFD for paying service fees, to firms that have entered into agreements with AFD to provide certain shareholder services. The remaining amounts available to be paid under each plan are paid to dealers to compensate them for their sales activities.

Share class	Currently approved limits	Plan limits
Class A	0.15%	0.15%
Class R-1	1.00	1.00
Class R-2	0.75	1.00
Class R-3	0.50	0.75
Class R-4	0.25	0.50

Transfer agent services– The fund has a transfer agent agreement with AFS for Class A. Under this agreement, this share class compensates AFS for transfer agent services including shareholder recordkeeping, communications and transaction processing. AFS is also compensated for certain transfer agent services provided to all other share classes from the administrative services fees paid to CRMC described below.

Administrative services – The fund has an administrative services agreement with CRMC to provide transfer agent and other related shareholder services for all share classes other than Class A. Each relevant share class pays CRMC annual fees up to 0.15% (0.10% for Class R-5) based on its respective average daily net assets. Each relevant share class also pays AFS additional amounts for certain transfer agent services. CRMC and AFS may use these fees to compensate third parties for performing these services. CRMC has agreed to pay AFS on the fund's behalf for a portion of the transfer agent services fees for some of the retirement plan share classes. For the year ended September 30, 2007, the total administrative services fees paid by CRMC were $89 and $31,000 for Class R-1 and R-2, respectively.Administrative services fees are presented gross of any payments made by CRMC.

Expenses under the agreements described above for the year ended September 30, 2007, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Share class	Distribution services	Transfer agent services	Administrative services
			CRMC administrative services	Transfer agent services
Class A	$515	$686	Not applicable	Not applicable
Class R-1	22	Included in administrative services	$3	1
Class R-2	288		55	133
Class R-3	156		41	35
Class R-4	25		15	1
Class R-5	Not applicable		12	1
Total	$1,006	$686	$126	$171

Trustees’ deferred compensation– Since the adoption of the deferred compensation plan in 1993, trustees who are unaffiliated with CRMC may elect to defer the cash payment of part or all of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the fund, are treated as if invested in shares of the fund. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the fund and vary according to the total return of the fund. Trustees’ compensation on the accompanying financial statements includes the current fees (either paid in cash or deferred) and the net increase or decrease in the value of the deferred amounts.

Affiliated officers and trustees – Officers and certain trustees of the fund are or may be considered to be affiliated with CRMC, AFS and AFD. No affiliated officers or trustees received any compensation directly from the fund.

(2) This column reflects the impact, if any, of certain reimbursements/waivers from CRMC.
During some of the years shown, CRMC reduced fees for investment advisory services, paid a portion of the fund's transfer agent fees for certain retirement plan share classes and, due to lower short-term interest rates, agreed to pay a portion of the class-specific fees and expenses for some of the share classes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of The U.S. Treasury Money Fund of America:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The U.S.Treasury Money Fund of America (the "Fund") at September 30, 2007, 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 its financial highlights for each of the periods presented, 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 owned at September 30, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Expense example

unaudited

As a shareholder of the fund, you incur certain ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007).

Actual expenses:

The first line of each share class in the table on the next page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that 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 first 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:

The second line of each share class in the table on the next page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5.00% hypothetical example with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Notes:

There are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts, such as Individual Retirement Accounts (generally, a $10 fee is charged to set up the account and an additional $10 fee is charged to the account annually) that would increase the amount of expenses paid on your account. In addition, retirement plan participants may be subject to certain fees charged by the plan sponsor. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

*The “expenses paid during period” are equal to the “annualized expense ratio,” multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (183), and divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Approval of Investment Advisory and Service Agreement

The fund’s board has approved the fund’s Investment Advisory and Service Agreement (the “agreement”) with Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”) for an additional one-year term through October 31, 2008. The board approved the agreement following the recommendation of the fund’s Contracts Committee (the “committee”), which is composed of all of the fund’s independent board members. The board and the committee determined that the fund’s advisory fee structure was fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided and that approving the agreement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

In reaching this decision, the board and the committee took into account information furnished to them throughout the year, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with their review of the agreement, and were advised by their independent counsel. They considered the factors discussed below, among others, but did not identify any single issue or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor.

1. Nature, extent and quality of services

The board and the committee considered the depth and quality of CRMC’s investment management process, including its global research capabilities; the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management and other personnel; the low turnover rates of its key personnel; the overall financial strength and stability of its organization; and the ongoing evolution of CRMC’s organizational structure designed to maintain and strengthen these qualities. The board and the committee also considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative, compliance and shareholder services provided by CRMC to the fund under the agreement and other agreements as well as the benefits to fund shareholders from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds. The board and the committee concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CRMC have benefited and should continue to benefit the fund and its shareholders.

2. Investment results

The board and the committee considered the investment results of the fund in light of its objective of providing shareholders with income on their cash reserves while preserving capital and maintaining liquidity. They compared the fund’s total returns with those of other relevant funds (including the other funds that are the basis of the Lipper index for the category in which the fund is included) and market data such as relevant market indices. This report, including the letter to shareholders and related disclosures, contains certain information about the fund’s investment results. The board and the committee concluded that the fund’s short- and long-term results have been satisfactory and that CRMC’s record in managing the fund indicated that its continued management should benefit the fund and its shareholders.

3. Advisory fees and total expenses

The board and the committee compared the advisory fees and total expense levels of the fund to those of other relevant funds. They observed that the fund’s advisory fees and expenses remain significantly below those of most other relevant funds. The board and the committee also noted the breakpoint discounts in the fund’s advisory fee structure that reduce the level of fees charged by CRMC to the fund as fund assets increase and the 10% advisory fee waiver in effect since April 2005. In addition, they reviewed information regarding the advisory fees paid by institutional clients of an affiliate of CRMC with investment mandates similar to those of the fund. They noted that, although the fees paid by those clients generally were lower than those paid by the fund, the differences appropriately reflected the significant investment, operational and regulatory differences between advising mutual funds and institutional clients. The board and the committee concluded that the fund’s cost structure was fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided, and that the shareholders receive reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to CRMC by the fund.

4. Ancillary benefits

The board and the committee considered a variety of other benefits received by CRMC and its affiliates as a result of CRMC’s relationship with the fund and the other American Funds, including fees for administrative services provided to certain share classes; fees paid to CRMC’s affiliated transfer agent; sales charges and distribution fees received and retained by the fund’s principal underwriter, an affiliate of CRMC; and possible ancillary benefits to CRMC’s institutional management affiliates. The board and the committee reviewed CRMC’s portfolio trading practices, noting that while CRMC receives the benefit of research provided by broker-dealers executing portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund, it does not obtain third-party research or other services in return for allocating brokerage to such broker-dealers. The board and the committee took these ancillary benefits into account in evaluating the reasonableness of the advisory fees and other amounts paid to CRMC by the fund.

5. Adviser financial information

The board and the committee reviewed information regarding CRMC’s costs of providing services to the American Funds, including personnel, systems and resources of investment, compliance, trading, accounting and other administrative operations. They considered CRMC’s costs and willingness to invest in technology, infrastructure and staff to maintain and expand services and capabilities, respond to industry and regulatory developments and attract and retain qualified personnel. They noted information previously received regarding the compensation structure for CRMC’s investment professionals. The board and the committee also compared CRMC’s profitability to the reported results of several large, publicly held investment management companies. The board and the committee noted the competitiveness and cyclicality of both the mutual fund industry and the capital markets, and the importance in that environment of CRMC’s long-term profitability for maintaining its independence, company culture and management continuity. They further considered the breakpoint discounts in the fund’s advisory fee structure and the impact of CRMC’s current 10% advisory fee waiver, reflecting benefits that may accrue from growth in assets. The board and the committee concluded that the fund’s advisory fee structure reflected a reasonable sharing of benefits between CRMC and the fund’s shareholders.

Notes to financial statements

1.   Organization and significant accounting policies

Organization– The Tax-Exempt Money Fund of America (the "fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company. The fund seeks to provide income free from federal taxes, while preserving capital and maintaining liquidity, through investments in high-quality municipal securities with effective maturities of one year or less.

The fund offers two share classes consisting of one retail share class (Class A) and one retirement plan share class (R-5). Each share class is sold without any sales charges and does not carry any conversion rights.

Holders of all share classes have equal pro rata rights to assets, dividends and liquidation proceeds. Each share class has identical voting rights, except for the exclusive right to vote on matters affecting only its class. Share classes have different fees and expenses ("class-specific fees and expenses"), primarily due to different arrangements for distribution, administrative and shareholder services. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different per-share dividends by each class.

Significant accounting policies– The financial statements have been prepared to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the fund:

Net asset value– The fund values its shares in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules, using the penny-rounding method, which permits the fund to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.

Security valuation– Fixed-income securities, including short-term securities purchased with more than 60 days left to maturity, are valued at prices obtained from an independent pricing service when such prices are available. However, where the investment adviser deems it appropriate, such securities will be valued at the mean quoted bid and asked prices (or bid prices, if asked prices are not available) or at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par when they reach 60 days or less remaining to maturity. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, state or region.

Securities and other assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the investment adviser are fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the fund's board of trustees. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions.

Security transactions and related investment income– Security transactions are recorded by the fund as of the date the trades are executed with brokers. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security.

Class allocations – Income, fees and expenses (other than class-specific fees and expenses) are allocated daily among the two share classes based on the relative value of their settled shares. Unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily among the two share classes based on their relative net assets. Class-specific fees and expenses, such as distribution, administrative and shareholder services, are charged directly to the respective share class.

Dividends to shareholders– Dividends paid to shareholders are declared daily after the determination of the fund’s net investment income and are paid to shareholders monthly.

2.   Federal income taxation and distributions                                                                                                                     

The fund complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to mutual funds and intends to distribute substantially all of its net income each year. The fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent taxable income is distributed. Generally, income earned by the fund is exempt from federal income taxes.

The fund adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on June 29, 2007. The implementation of FIN 48 resulted in no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no material change to the beginning net asset value of the fund.

As of and during the period ended September 30, 2007, the fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

The fund is not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for tax years before 2003 and by state tax authorities for tax years before 2002.

Distributions– Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income for financial reporting purposes. As of September 30, 2007, there were no material differences between book and tax reporting. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income is recorded by the fund for financial reporting purposes.

During the year ended September 30, 2007, the fund reclassified $18,000 from capital paid in on shares of beneficial interest to distributions in excess of net investment income to align financial reporting with tax reporting.

As of September 30, 2007, the tax basis components of distributable earnings, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investment securities were as follows:

				(dollars in thousands)
Undistributed tax-exempt income				$	194
Short-term loss carryforwards*:
Expiring 2008	$	(39	)
Expiring 2009		(27	)
Expiring 2010		(2	)
Expiring 2011		(3	)		(71	)
Gross unrealized appreciation on investment securities					114
Gross unrealized depreciation on investment securities					(3	)
Net unrealized appreciation on investment securities					111
Cost of investment securities					614,236
*Reflects the expiration of short-term loss carryforwards of $18,000. The short-term loss carryforwards will be used to offset any short-term gains realized by the fund in future years through the expiration dates. The fund will not make distributions from short-term gains while short-term loss carryforwards remain.

Tax-exempt income distributions paid or accrued to shareholders were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Share class	Year ended September 30, 2007		Year ended September 30, 2006
Class A	$	15,074	$	11,326
Class R-5		1,055		872
Total	$	16,129	$	12,198

3.   Fees and transactions with related parties

Capital Research and Management Company ("CRMC"), the fund’s investment adviser, is the parent company of American Funds Service Company ^SM ("AFS"), the fund’s transfer agent, and American Funds Distributors, ^SM Inc. ("AFD"), the principal underwriter of the fund’s shares.

Investment advisory services– The Investment Advisory and Service Agreement with CRMC provides for monthly fees accrued daily. These fees are based on a declining series of annual rates beginning with 0.390% on the first $200 million of daily net assets and decreasing to 0.290% on such assets in excess of $1.2 billion. CRMC is currently waiving 10% of investment advisory services fees. During the year ended September 30, 2007, total investment advisory services fees waived by CRMC were $194,000. As a result, the fee shown on the accompanying financial statements of $1,939,000, which was equivalent to an annualized rate of 0.378%, was reduced to $1,745,000, or 0.340% of average daily net assets.

Class-specific fees and expenses – Expenses that are specific to individual share classes are accrued directly to the respective share class. The principal class-specific fees and expenses are described below:

Distribution services – The fund has adopted plans of distribution for Class A shares. Under the plan, the board of trustees approves certain categories of expenses that are used to finance activities primarily intended to sell fund shares and service existing accounts. The plan provides for payments, based on an annualized percentage of average daily net assets, of up to 0.15%. This class may use a portion of average daily net assets to pay service fees, or to compensate AFD for paying service fees, to firms that have entered into agreements with AFD for providing certain shareholder services.

Transfer agent services– The fund has a transfer agent agreement with AFS for Class A. Under this agreement, this share class compensates AFS for transfer agent services including shareholder recordkeeping, communications and transaction processing. AFS is also compensated for certain transfer agent services provided to Class R-5 from the administrative services fees paid to CRMC described below.

Administrative services – The fund has an administrative services agreement with CRMC to provide transfer agent and other related shareholder services for Class R-5. This share class also pays AFS additional amounts for certain transfer agent services. CRMC and AFS may use these fees to compensate third parties for performing these services.

Trustees’ deferred compensation– Since the adoption of the deferred compensation plan in 1993, trustees who are unaffiliated with CRMC may elect to defer the cash payment of part or all of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the fund, are treated as if invested in shares of the fund. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the fund and vary according to the total return of the fund. Trustees’ compensation on the accompanying financial statements includes the current fees (either paid in cash or deferred) and the net increase or decrease in the value of the deferred amounts.

Affiliated officers and trustees – Officers and certain trustees of the fund are or may be considered to be affiliated with CRMC, AFS and AFD. No affiliated officers or trustees received any compensation directly from the fund.

4. Capital share transactions

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of The Tax-Exempt Money Fund of America:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Tax-Exempt Money Fund of America (the "Fund") at September 30, 2007, 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 its financial highlights for each of the periods presented, 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 owned at September 30, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Expense example

unaudited

As a shareholder of the fund, you incur certain ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2007, through September 30, 2007).

Actual expenses:

The first line of each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that 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 first 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:

The second line of each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5.00% hypothetical example with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Notes:

There are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts, such as Individual Retirement Accounts (generally, a $10 fee is charged to set up the account and an additional $10 fee is charged to the account annually) that would increase the amount of expenses paid on your account. In addition, retirement plan participants may be subject to certain fees charged by the plan sponsor. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning account value 4/1/2007		Ending account value 9/30/2007		Expenses paid during period*		Annualized expense ratio
Class A -- actual return	$	1,000.00	$	1,016.23	$	2.33		.46	%
Class A -- assumed 5% return		1,000.00		1,022.76		2.33		.46
Class R-5 -- actual return		1,000.00		1,016.03		2.53		.50
Class R-5 -- assumed 5% return		1,000.00		1,022.56		2.54		.50

*The “expenses paid during period” are equal to the “annualized expense ratio,” multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (183), and divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Approval of Investment Advisory and Service Agreement

The fund’s board has approved the fund’s Investment Advisory and Service Agreement (the “agreement”) with Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”) for an additional one-year term through October 31, 2008. The board approved the agreement following the recommendation of the fund’s Contracts Committee (the “committee”), which is composed of all of the fund’s independent board members. The board and the committee determined that the fund’s advisory fee structure was fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided and that approving the agreement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

In reaching this decision, the board and the committee took into account information furnished to them throughout the year, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with their review of the agreement, and were advised by their independent counsel. They considered the factors discussed below, among others, but did not identify any single issue or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor.

1. Nature, extent and quality of services

The board and the committee considered the depth and quality of CRMC’s investment management process, including its global research capabilities; the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management and other personnel; the low turnover rates of its key personnel; the overall financial strength and stability of its organization; and the ongoing evolution of CRMC’s organizational structure designed to maintain and strengthen these qualities. The board and the committee also considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative, compliance and shareholder services provided by CRMC to the fund under the agreement and other agreements as well as the benefits to fund shareholders from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds. The board and the committee concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CRMC have benefited and should continue to benefit the fund and its shareholders.

2. Investment results

The board and the committee considered the investment results of the fund in light of its objective of providing shareholders with income on their cash reserves while preserving capital and maintaining liquidity. They compared the fund’s total returns with those of other relevant funds (including the other funds that are the basis of the Lipper index for the category in which the fund is included) and market data such as relevant market indices. This report, including the letter to shareholders and related disclosures, contains certain information about the fund’s investment results. The board and the committee concluded that the fund’s short- and long-term results have been satisfactory and that CRMC’s record in managing the fund indicated that its continued management should benefit the fund and its shareholders.

3. Advisory fees and total expenses

The board and the committee compared the advisory fees and total expense levels of the fund to those of other relevant funds. They observed that the fund’s advisory fees and expenses remain significantly below those of most other relevant funds. The board and the committee also noted the breakpoint discounts in the fund’s advisory fee structure that reduce the level of fees charged by CRMC to the fund as fund assets increase and the 10% advisory fee waiver in effect since April 2005. In addition, they reviewed information regarding the advisory fees paid by institutional clients of an affiliate of CRMC with investment mandates similar to those of the fund. They noted that, although the fees paid by those clients generally were lower than those paid by the fund, the differences appropriately reflected the significant investment, operational and regulatory differences between advising mutual funds and institutional clients. The board and the committee concluded that the fund’s cost structure was fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided, and that the shareholders receive reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to CRMC by the fund.

4. Ancillary benefits

The board and the committee considered a variety of other benefits received by CRMC and its affiliates as a result of CRMC’s relationship with the fund and the other American Funds, including fees for administrative services provided to certain share classes; fees paid to CRMC’s affiliated transfer agent; sales charges and distribution fees received and retained by the fund’s principal underwriter, an affiliate of CRMC; and possible ancillary benefits to CRMC’s institutional management affiliates. The board and the committee reviewed CRMC’s portfolio trading practices, noting that while CRMC receives the benefit of research provided by broker-dealers executing portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund, it does not obtain third-party research or other services in return for allocating brokerage to such broker-dealers. The board and the committee took these ancillary benefits into account in evaluating the reasonableness of the advisory fees and other amounts paid to CRMC by the fund.

5. Adviser financial information

The board and the committee reviewed information regarding CRMC’s costs of providing services to the American Funds, including personnel, systems and resources of investment, compliance, trading, accounting and other administrative operations. They considered CRMC’s costs and willingness to invest in technology, infrastructure and staff to maintain and expand services and capabilities, respond to industry and regulatory developments and attract and retain qualified personnel. They noted information previously received regarding the compensation structure for CRMC’s investment professionals. The board and the committee also compared CRMC’s profitability to the reported results of several large, publicly held investment management companies. The board and the committee noted the competitiveness and cyclicality of both the mutual fund industry and the capital markets, and the importance in that environment of CRMC’s long-term profitability for maintaining its independence, company culture and management continuity. They further considered the breakpoint discounts in the fund’s advisory fee structure and the impact of CRMC’s current 10% advisory fee waiver, reflecting benefits that may accrue from growth in assets. The board and the committee concluded that the fund’s advisory fee structure reflected a reasonable sharing of benefits between CRMC and the fund’s shareholders.

ITEM 2 – Code of Ethics

The Registrant has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer.  The Registrant undertakes to provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of the Code of Ethics.  Such request can be made to American Funds Service Company at 800/421-0180 or to the Secretary of the Registrant, 333 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, California 90071.

ITEM 3 – Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Registrant’s board has determined that H. Frederick Christie, a member of the Registrant’s audit committee, is an “audit committee financial expert” and "independent," as such terms are defined in this Item. This designation will not increase the designee’s duties, obligations or liability as compared to his or her duties, obligations and liability as a member of the audit committee and of the board, nor will it reduce the responsibility of the other audit committee members.  There may be other individuals who, through education or experience, would qualify as "audit committee financial experts" if the board had designated them as such.  Most importantly, the board believes each member of the audit committee contributes significantly to the effective oversight of the Registrant’s financial statements and condition.

ITEM 4 – Principal Accountant Fees and Services

Registrant:
	a)  Audit Fees:
		2006	$25,000
		2007	$26,000
	b)  Audit-Related Fees:
		2006	None
		2007	None
	c)  Tax Fees:
		2006	$5,000
		2007	$6,000
		The tax fees consist of professional services relating to the preparation of the Registrant’s tax returns.
	d)  All Other Fees:
		2006	None
		2007	None
Adviser and affiliates (includes only fees for non-audit services billed to the adviser and affiliates for engagements that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant and were subject to the pre-approval policies described below):
	a)  Not Applicable
	b)  Audit-Related Fees:
		2006	None
		2007	None
	c)  Tax Fees:
		2006	$5,000
		2007	$7,000
		The tax fees consist of consulting services relating to the registrant’s investments.
	d)  All Other Fees:
		2006	None
		2007	None

The Registrant’s audit committee will pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services that the committee considers compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.  The pre-approval requirement will extend to all non-audit services provided to the Registrant, the investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. The committee will not delegate its responsibility to pre-approve these services to the investment adviser. The committee may delegate to one or more committee members the authority to review and pre-approve audit and permissible non-audit services.  Actions taken under any such delegation will be reported to the full committee at its next meeting. The pre-approval requirement is waived with respect to non-audit services if certain conditions are met. The pre-approval requirement was not waived for any of the non-audit services listed above provided to the Registrant, adviser, and affiliates.

Aggregate non-audit fees paid to the Registrant’s auditors, including fees for all services billed to the Registrant and the adviser and affiliates that provide ongoing services to the Registrant were $20,000 for fiscal year 2006 and $13,000 for fiscal year 2007. The non-audit services represented by these amounts were brought to the attention of the committee and considered to be compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.

ITEM 5 – Audit Committee of Listed Registrants

Not applicable to this Registrant, insofar as the Registrant is not a listed issuer as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

ITEM 6 – Schedule of Investments

Not applicable, insofar as the schedule is included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this Form.

ITEM 7 – Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

Not applicable to this Registrant, insofar as the Registrant is not a closed-end management investment company.

ITEM 8 – Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies

Not applicable to this Registrant, insofar as the Registrant is not a closed-end management investment company.

ITEM 9 – Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers

Not applicable to this Registrant, insofar as the Registrant is not a closed-end management investment company.

ITEM 10 – Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the Registrant’s board of trustees since the Registrant last submitted a proxy statement to its shareholders.  The procedures are as follows.  The Registrant has a nominating and governance committee comprised solely of persons who are not considered ‘‘interested persons’’ of the Registrant within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The committee periodically reviews such issues as the board’s composition, responsibilities, committees, compensation and other relevant issues, and recommends any appropriate changes to the full board of trustees. While the committee normally is able to identify from its own resources an ample number of qualified candidates, it will consider shareholder suggestions of persons to be considered as nominees to fill future vacancies on the board. Such suggestions must be sent in writing to the nominating and governance committee of the Registrant, c/o the Registrant’s Secretary, and must be accompanied by complete biographical and occupational data on the prospective nominee, along with a written consent of the prospective nominee for consideration of his or her name by the nominating and governance committee.

ITEM 11 – Controls and Procedures

(a)	The Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 30a-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940), that such controls and procedures are adequate and reasonably designed to achieve the purposes described in paragraph (c) of such rule.
(b)	There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) that occurred during the Registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 12 – Exhibits

(a)(1)	The Code of Ethics that is the subject of the disclosure required by Item 2 is attached as an exhibit hereto.
(a)(2)	The certifications required by Rule 30a-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are attached as exhibits hereto.
