Semiannual Report

Dear Shareholder:
Stock market gains in October and November kindled hopes for a strong close to the year. But even with December historically the best month for the Dow industrials, according to a recent study, most equity indexes had double-digit losses for 2002 through November, and avoiding a third straight year of declines seemed unlikely. Although recent fixed-income performance was tarnished by the stock market rebound, most bond categories were up 7%-9% year to date.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can increase your diversification further by investing in a number of different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as bonds. You should also keep money you'll need in the near future in a more stable investment.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.

Annual Report
To evaluate a money market fund's historical performance, you can look at either total return or yield. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income. Yield measures the income paid by a fund. Since a money market fund tries to maintain a $1 share price, yield is an important measure of performance.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can also compare the fund's performance to the performance of mutual funds tracked by iMoneyNet, Inc. and grouped by similar objectives.

Yield refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or compounded is called an effective yield. The table above shows the fund's current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. You can compare these yields to the all taxable money market funds average. Figures for the all taxable money market funds average are from iMoneyNet, Inc.
A money market fund's total returns and yields will vary, and reflect past results rather than predict future performance.

Performance
The U.S. government neither insures nor guarantees a money market fund. In fact, there is no assurance that a money market fund will maintain a $1 share price. A money market fund returns to its shareholders income earned by the fund's investments after expenses.
3Annual Report
An interview with John Todd, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Cash Reserves
Q. John, what was the investment environment like during the 12 months that ended November 30, 2002?
A. As 2001 ended, the Federal Reserve Board concluded a protracted program of aggressive cuts in short-term interest rates designed to bolster U.S. economic growth amid sharply curtailed business spending, weak equity markets, rising unemployment and eroding consumer confidence. In the first quarter of 2002, the economy rebounded. Interest rates in the money markets rose as investors anticipated that the Fed would have to step in and raise rates in order to keep inflation in check. However, sentiment changed in April, when new data pointed to continued weakness in some areas of the economy and analysis proved that adjustments in inventories were the main driver of strong growth in the first quarter, not improved business activity.
Q. What was the backdrop like during the second half of the period?
A. The U.S. economy plodded along below its potential, with growth coming in at subpar levels amid modest increases in unemployment,
with concerns about corporate governance in the forefront. Until November 2002, the Fed remained on the sidelines, keeping short-term
interest rates unchanged and preaching patience. Economic growth was aided by consumer spending, which remained strong due to rising
real personal income and infusions of cash from mortgage refinancing. Corporate spending, however, stayed anemic, as management was
loath to invest in capital upgrades or new investments. Companies struggled to restructure their operations and demonstrate renewed
positive earnings growth. As it became clear that growth would not rebound as strongly as had been hoped, expectations for Fed rate hikes
subsided. Most investors felt it likely that the Fed would maintain short-term rates at existing levels, or even cut them toward the end of 2002.
That expectation was fulfilled, as the Fed cut the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans - known as the Fed funds target rate -
by 0.50 percentage points in early November, bringing it to 1.25%, its lowest level in 40 years. (Portfolio Manager photograph)
Q. What was your strategy with the fund?
A. At the beginning of the period, I was concerned about credit quality. In response, I favored U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, in order to maintain both a higher credit quality and a longer average maturity. By keeping the average maturity long, I looked to lock in attractive yields as rates declined. Early in the second quarter of 2002, I took advantage of yield opportunities offered by longer-term money market instruments, because I felt that the market was pricing in more aggressive Fed rate hikes than I expected. Subsequent to that opportunity, however, longer-term money market securities started to offer little or no yield advantage over short-term issues. As a result, I focused on the 30- to 90-day maturity range, allowing these investments to roll down to maturity, reinvesting the proceeds once again in one- to three-month maturities. I also invested in short-term variable-rate securities - with yields that are reset daily or monthly - when they offered value. Toward the end of the period, I took advantage of opportunities in longer-term agency securities, extended the fund's average maturity in anticipation of the Fed's latest rate cut and harvested the additional yields offered by selected repurchase agreements.
Annual Report
Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued
Q. How did the fund perform?
A. The fund's seven-day yield on November 30, 2002, was 1.26%, compared to 2.23% 12 months ago. For the 12 months that ended November 30, 2002, the fund had a total return of 1.69%, compared to 1.35% for the all taxable money market funds average, according to iMoneyNet, Inc.
Q. What's your outlook, John?
A. With businesses reluctant to spend money on new projects before year-end, I don't expect the economy to stabilize and then show more distinct signs of recovery until the early stages of 2003. The prospect of war with Iraq and questions about its aftermath are currently adding to investor uncertainty. These concerns may cause some hesitancy among both consumers and corporations, which may continue to dampen the extent of any recovery for some time.

Annual Report
For the period ended November 30, 2002
(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity® Cash Reserves (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity money market funds. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income.
Income distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. There were no significant book-to-tax differences during the period.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations, corporate obligations and mortgage loan obligations which may be below investment-grade quality, and equity securities. The custodian bank receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a total income-based component. The group fee rate averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. The total income-based component is calculated according to a graduated schedule providing for different rates based on the fund's gross annualized yield. The rate increases as the fund's gross yield increases.
During the period the income-based portion of this fee was $39,326 or an annual rate of .07% of the fund's average net assets. For the period, the fund's total annual management fee rate was .20% of the fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .18% of average net assets.
Annual Report
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Accounting Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
Money Market Insurance Termination. From January 1, 1999 through December 31, 2001, FIDFUNDS Mutual Limited (FIDFUNDS), an affiliated mutual insurance company, provided participating funds with limited coverage for certain loss events. Effective January 1, 2002 the insurance coverage was suspended due to significant increases in the cost of reinsurance. Because of the continued high cost of reinsurance, in November 2002, the Board of Trustees approved the termination of FIDFUNDS. As a result, the participating funds are entitled to receive their pro rata share of FIDFUNDS retained earnings. The payment is accounted for as a realized gain in the Statement of Operations.
4. Merger Information.
On June 21, 2001, the fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Fidelity Daily Income Trust. The acquisition, which was approved by the shareholders of Fidelity Daily Income Trust on June 13, 2001, was accomplished by an exchange of 3,026,095 shares of the fund for the 3,026,095 shares then outstanding (each valued at $1.00) of Fidelity Daily Income Trust. Based on the opinion of fund counsel, the reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the funds or their shareholders. Fidelity Daily Income Trust's net assets were combined with the fund for total net assets after the acquisition of $54,617,926.
Annual Report
To the Trustees of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity Cash Reserves:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Cash Reserves (a fund of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust) at November 30, 2002 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, 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 Fidelity Cash Reserves' 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at November 30, 2002 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report

Dear Shareholder:
Stock market gains in October and November kindled hopes for a strong close to the year. But even with December historically the best month for the Dow industrials, according to a recent study, most equity indexes had double-digit losses for 2002 through November, and avoiding a third straight year of declines seemed unlikely. Although recent fixed-income performance was tarnished by the stock market rebound, most bond categories were up 7%-9% year to date.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can increase your diversification further by investing in a number of different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as bonds. You should also keep money you'll need in the near future in a more stable investment.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-6666, or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Best regards,

Annual Report
To evaluate a money market fund's historical performance, you can look at either total return or yield. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income. Yield measures the income paid by a fund. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower. Since a money market fund tries to maintain a $1 share price, yield is an important measure of performance.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can also compare the fund's performance to the performance of mutual funds tracked by iMoneyNet, Inc. and grouped by similar objectives.

Yield refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or compounded is called an effective yield. The table above shows the fund's current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. You can compare these yields to the government retail money market funds average. Figures for the government retail money market funds average are from iMoneyNet, Inc.
A money market fund's total returns and yields will vary, and reflect past results rather than predict future performance.

Performance
The U.S. government neither insures nor guarantees a money market fund. In fact, there is no assurance that a money market fund will maintain a $1 share price. A money market fund returns to its shareholders income earned by the fund's investments after expenses.
3Annual Report
An interview with Robert Litterst, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity U.S. Government Reserves
Q. Bob, what was the investment environment like during the 12 months that ended November 30, 2002?
A. At the close of 2001, the Federal Reserve Board was finishing the series of aggressive cuts in short-term interest rates it implemented in order to offset economic weakness and neutralize the effects of September 11. In the first quarter of 2002, economic data came in stronger than expected. Consumer spending remained solid, helped by zero percent auto financing, low unemployment, rising personal disposable income and mortgage refinancing. Money market yields rose, reflecting the expectation that the Fed might reverse some or all of the rate cuts it instituted following the terrorist attacks. However, the Fed kept rates unchanged throughout most of the period due largely to continued weakness in business investment, and difficult financial market conditions that muted the impact of the Fed's rate reductions. Expectations for a Fed tightening diminished as economic activity moderated and as market participants eventually came to believe that the Fed would cut short-term rates in order to reinvigorate the recovery. The Fed confirmed this notion by moving to cut the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans - known as the fed funds target rate - by 0.50 percentage points in early November, bringing the rate to 1.25%.
Q. What was your strategy with the fund?(Portfolio Manager photograph)
A. During the entire period, I kept the fund's average maturity consistently longer than its peers. As it became clear during the early part of 2002 that the economy remained more resilient than expected, I allowed the fund's average maturity to decline, but still kept it longer than its competitors. I looked to invest in longer-term securities that appeared attractive given my outlook for the economy and short-term interest rates. When the yield curve flattened mid-year - meaning longer-term securities generally offered little yield advantage over shorter-term alternatives - I focused more on shorter-term securities. My asset allocation decisions were driven by my perception of relative value. Through mid-2002, that approach led me to heavily weight fixed-rate agency discount notes. During the summer months, term repurchase agreements - those with a maturity of greater than seven days - and callable agency securities offered attractive yields and a yield advantage relative to other alternatives. Toward the end of the period, I added some longer-term investments to lock in rates in order to insulate the fund from the effects that further Fed rate cuts might have on performance.
Annual Report
Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview - continued
Q. How did the fund perform?
A. The fund's seven-day yield on November 30, 2002, was 1.21%, compared to 2.36% 12 months ago. For the 12 months that ended November 30, 2002, the fund had a total return of 1.71%, compared to 1.19% for the government retail money market funds average, according to iMoneyNet, Inc.
Q. What's your outlook, Bob?
A. Recent information on the economy has been mixed. Although third-quarter growth in gross domestic product was at a very respectable pace and the housing sector continued to be strong, renewed weakness in manufacturing and a sharp drop in consumer confidence increased concerns about future economic activity. The economy should respond to the added support of the Fed's November rate cut. Also, the Republican Party's majority in both houses of Congress may provide additional fiscal stimulus. However, budget woes and spending cuts at the state and local level might offset some of the stimulus that should be forthcoming at the federal level. In short, this backdrop should help firm economic growth, leading me to believe that any further interest rate cuts beyond the next few months are unlikely. Of course, a major wild card is how the situation with Iraq plays out. Any military action in that region would most likely have a significantly negative impact on the economy and consumer confidence, at least in the short run. On the other hand, a quick resolution of the issue would likely be quite favorable, as it would remove a major source of uncertainty from the economic landscape.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Fidelity® U.S. Government Reserves (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income.
Income distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. There were no significant book-to-tax differences during the period.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. The custodian bank

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

Repurchase Agreements - continued
receives the collateral, which is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked to market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
3. Joint Trading Account.
At the end of the period, the fund had 20% or more of its total investments in repurchase agreements through a joint trading account. These repurchase agreements were with entities whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. The investments in repurchase agreements through the joint trading account are summarized as follows:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a total income-based component. The group fee rate averaged .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. The total income-based component is calculated according to a graduated schedule providing for different rates based on the fund's gross annualized yield. The rate increases as the fund's gross yield increases.
During the period the income-based portion of this fee was $1,827 or an annual rate of .07% of the fund's average net assets. For the period, the fund's total annual management fee rate was .20% of the fund's average net assets.
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .12% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Money Market Insurance Termination. From January 1, 1999 through December 31, 2001, FIDFUNDS Mutual Limited (FIDFUNDS), an affiliated mutual insurance company, provided participating funds with limited coverage for certain loss events. Effective January 1, 2002 the insurance coverage was suspended due to significant increases in the cost of reinsurance. Because of the continued high cost of reinsurance, in November 2002, the Board of Trustees approved the termination of FIDFUNDS. As a result, the participating funds are entitled to receive their pro rata share of FIDFUNDS retained earnings. The payment is accounted for as a realized gain in the Statement of Operations.
5. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the fund's transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's transfer agent expenses by $27.
Annual Report
To the Trustees of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust and the Shareholders of Fidelity U.S. Government Reserves:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity U.S. Government Reserves (a fund of Fidelity Phillips Street Trust) at November 30, 2002 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, 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 Fidelity U.S. Government Reserves' 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at November 30, 2002 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
