Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Robert Duby, Portfolio Manager of The North Carolina Capital Management Trust: Term Portfolio

Early in the 12-month period ending June 30, 2003, market sentiment reflected beliefs that the Federal Reserve Board would raise short-term interest rates in response to a strengthening economy. However, as 2002 unfolded, emerging economic data was mixed, stifling market optimism. The Iraqi war filled the market with uncertainty, as investors tried to discern what effect this engagement might have on the strength of the economy. Consumer confidence declined notably, and sluggish industrial activity and rising unemployment indicated that the recovery had yet to solidify. The Fed responded by lowering the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans - known as the fed funds target rate - two times. The first cut came in November 2002 and the second in June 2003. By the end of the period, the Fed had brought the target rate down to 1.00%, its lowest level since 1958, and made it clear that it was willing to keep short-tem interest rates very low for some time to buoy the economy and subdue deflationary pressures.

For the 12 months ending June 30, 2003, the fund returned 2.05%, compared to 3.94% for the LipperSM Short U.S. Government Funds Average. Meanwhile, the Lehman Brothers® U.S. Short Treasury 9-12 Months Index returned 2.27%. The index includes aged U.S. Treasury notes and bonds with remaining maturities of nine months up to - but not including - 12 months. It excludes zero-coupon strips. The fund underperformed its Lipper group because the peer group was much more interest rate sensitive than the fund, and thus outperformed in a falling-rate environment. After years of running budget surpluses, increased government spending and the potential for tax cuts resulted in record-high budget deficits. This development led to record new issuance of the short-term Treasury securities in which the fund invests. The high level of supply caused short-term Treasury securities to trade at historically cheap levels compared to other money market securities, offering the portfolio opportunities because I continued to use government securities as the portfolio's primary investment vehicle. I looked to buy the cheapest securities in the sector that I felt would add the most value, tweaking the interest rate sensitivity to match that of the index.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of a fund.

A Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown.

B Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

C Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the fund. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the fund during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the fund.

D Effective July 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities, as required. Per share data and ratios for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect this change.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended June 30, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Cash Portfolio and Term Portfolio (the funds) are funds of The North Carolina Capital Management Trust (the trust). 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 Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the trust are offered exclusively to local government and public authorities of the state of North Carolina. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. 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 funds:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and certain conditions therein, securities owned by the Cash Portfolio are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

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 each 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. The non-interested Trustees may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of their annual fees under the Trustees' Deferred Compensation Plan ("the Plan"). Interest is accrued on amounts deferred under the Plan based on the prevailing 90 day Treasury Bill rate.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of their taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Income and capital gain 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 for the Cash Portfolio. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost for the Term Portfolio as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 289,614

|

Unrealized depreciation

(4,677)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

$ 284,937

Undistributed ordinary income

Capital loss carryforward

(3,947,238)

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 72,619,311

The tax character of distributions paid for the Term Portfolio was as follows:

Ordinary Income

$ 1,472,048

$ 1,936,701

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 funds 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. Certain funds may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. 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).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.

Annual Report

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provides the funds with investment management related services for which the funds pay a monthly management fee based upon a graduated series of annual rates ranging between .215% and .275% of each fund's average net assets. FMR pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest expense. The management fee paid to FMR by the funds is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the funds to the non-interested Trustees. For the period each fund's annualized management fee rate, expressed as a percentage of each fund's average net assets, was as follows:

Cash Portfolio

.23%

|

Term Portfolio

.27%

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, FMR pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a Distribution and Service fee that is based on a graduated series of rates ranging from .07% to .08% of each fund's average net assets. For the period, FMR paid FDC $3,136,692 and $56,104 on behalf of Cash and Term Portfolios, respectively, all of which was paid to the Capital Management of the Carolinas LLC.

5. Expense Reductions.

FMR voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of each fund's management fee during the period. The amount of the waiver for each fund was as follows:

Cash Portfolio

$ 282,210

Term Portfolio

$ 3,645

In addition, through arrangements with each applicable fund's custody and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced expenses by the following amounts:

Cash Portfolio

$ 14,763

6. Other Information.

At the end of the period, two unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 22% of the total outstanding shares of the Term Portfolio.

Annual Report

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Trustees of The North Carolina Capital Management Trust and the Shareholders of Cash Portfolio and Term Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules 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 Cash Portfolio and Term Portfolio (funds of The North Carolina Capital Management Trust) at June 30, 2003 and the results of their operations, the changes in their 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 North Carolina Capital Management Trust'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 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 June 30, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
