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

D 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.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended December 31, 2003 (Unaudited)

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 valuation models. 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 is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method.

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.

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - 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 federal tax cost of investments including unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Term Portfolio as of period end was as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

$ 88,386

|

Unrealized depreciation

(6,507)

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)

Cost for federal income tax purposes

$ 70,717,251

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. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral 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.

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

.22%

|

Term Portfolio

.26%

Semiannual Report

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

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 $1,451,464 and $27,720 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

$ 107,525

Term Portfolio

$ 517

In addition, through arrangements with each applicable fund's custodian, 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:

Term Portfolio

$ 165

6. Other Information.

At the end of the period, one unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 11% of the total outstanding shares of the Term Portfolio.
