LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
March 2003

Dear Evergreen Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the annual report for the Evergreen Money Market Fund, which covers the 12-month period ended January 31, 2003.

Market analysis

We believe the case for proper asset allocation was made quite evident to investors over the past 12 months. While equities continued to struggle and bonds were mostly strong, money markets provided investors with consistency amid their growing popularity. The increased market volatility resulted in higher flows into cash accounts, and investors benefited from this strategy. Indeed, the past year was best measured in relative performance, and many investors participating in money market funds enjoyed stability despite the very low interest rate environment.

The increased volatility in the financial markets over the past year can be attributed not only to the weaker-than-expected economic recovery, but also to the accounting scandals that severely undermined corporate credibility. If these troubles were not enough, investors had to contend with the uncertain geopolitical situation, as the potential for war and terror attacks weighed heavily on everyone’s minds. Many investors chose to flee the equity markets, and stocks declined for the third consecutive year during 2002, a phenomenon that had not occurred in more than six decades. Bonds were led by the strength in Treasuries, whose traditional safe-haven status attracted many investors despite the $150 billion federal budget deficit. Cash levels, as measured by CDs, savings accounts and money market funds, rose to an estimated $6.5 trillion, an amount equivalent to almost two-thirds of total United States economic output.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS continued


The period began with solid economic growth in the first quarter of last year and some momentum from the rally in late 2001. However, moderating economic growth and drastically reduced earnings expectations pummeled equities and money flowed back into treasuries and money markets. The Enron scandal served to exacerbate this trend and as other instances of corporate malfeasance surfaced, investor confidence plunged.

These disturbing events resulted in relatively quick action from the leadership in Washington as President Bush, members of Congress and the SEC all became involved. Legislation was created in the form of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, requiring new procedures for financial reporting and outlining the punishment for perpetrators of fraud. Corporate CEOs and CFOs are now required to attest to the veracity of the financial statements submitted quarterly to the SEC.

But just as investors were regaining hope regarding the integrity of financial reporting, saber rattling with Iraq increased and the economic recovery remained slower than hoped. The anniversary of the September 11 attacks rekindled fears of potential terrorism, and economic data was mixed. Earnings estimates were ratcheted downward yet again, and all eyes turned to Federal Reserve Board chairman Alan Greenspan, who ultimately surprised investors with a larger-than-expected 50-basis point interest rate cut in early November.

Looking ahead, we believe the U.S. economy will continue its moderate path of recovery in 2003. We project gross domestic product growth in the range of 3%, supported by mild levels of personal consumption and a gradual improvement in business spending. The outlook for inflation remains positive for consumers, yet businesses will once again be challenged by a lack of meaningful pricing power, preventing the traditional surge in corporate earnings common in early-cycle recoveries. In this environment, which continues to be framed by geopolitical concerns, money market investments will remain an important portfolio component.

Importance of diversification

The volatility we have experienced in the financial markets over the past several months offers many reasons for building and maintaining a diversified portfolio rather than making investment decisions based on anticipated market movements. Exposure to various types of investments should remain a key component of a well-balanced portfolio. Establishing a Systematic Investment Plan* (SIP) can also be an effective tool to help you achieve your investment goals. As with all investment decisions, remember to consult your financial advisor to develop a strategy that will support your long-term objectives.

Please visit EvergreenInvestments.com for more information about our funds and other investment products available to you. From the Web site, you can also access our quarterly online shareholder newsletter, Evergreen Events, through the “About Evergreen Investments” menu tab. Thank you for your continuing support of Evergreen Investments.

PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION
(based on 1/31/2003 portfolio assets)




1Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The performance of each class may vary based on differences in loads, fees and expenses paid by the shareholders investing in each class. Performance includes the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gain distributions.

Historical performance shown for Classes A, B, C, S and S1 prior to their inception is based on the performance of Class I, the original class offered. The historical returns for Classes A, B, C, S and S1 have not been adjusted to reflect the effect of each class’ 12b-1 fee. These fees are 0.30% for Class A, 1.00% for Classes B and C, and 0.60% for Classes S and S1. Class I does not pay a 12b-1 fee. If these fees had been reflected, returns would have been lower. The advisor is currently reimbursing a portion of the distribution fees for Classes A, B, C and S1. Had the fee not been reimbursed, returns would have been lower. Returns reflect expense limits previously in effect for all classes, without which returns would have been lower.

AVERAGE MATURITY: 29 days





Class I shares are only offered to investment advisory clients of an investment advisor of an Evergreen fund (or its advisory affiliates), through special arrangements entered into on behalf of Evergreen funds with certain financial services firms, certain institutional investors and persons who owned Class Y shares in registered name in an Evergreen fund on or before December 31, 1994.

The fund’s investment objective is non-fundamental and may be changed without the vote of the fund’s shareholders.

An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

The yield will fluctuate and there can be no guarantee that the fund will achieve its objective.

U.S. government guarantees apply only to the underlying securities of the fund’s portfolio and not to the fund’s shares.

All data is as of January 31, 2003, and subject to change.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. ORGANIZATION

Evergreen Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of Evergreen Money Market Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware business trust organized on September 18, 1997. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class S, Class S1, and Institutional (“Class I”) shares. Class A shares are sold at net asset value without a front-end sales charge. Class B shares are sold without a front-end sales charge and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge that is payable upon redemption and decreases depending on how long the shares have been held. Class C shares are sold with a front-end sales charge and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge that is payable upon redemption within one year after the month of purchase. Both Class B and Class C shares pay a higher ongoing distribution fee than Classes A, S and S1. Class S and Class S1 shares are sold at net asset value without a front-end sales charge or a contingent deferred sales charge, but pay an ongoing distribution fee. Class I shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

a. Valuation of investments

As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Investments in other mutual funds are valued at net asset value. Securities for which market quotations are not available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith, according to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

b. Security transactions and investment income

Security transactions are recorded no later than one business day after the trade date. Realized gains and losses are computed using the specific cost of the security sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

c. Federal taxes

The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income, including any net capital gains (which have already been offset by available capital loss carryovers). Accordingly, no provision for federal taxes is required.

d. Distributions

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income are accrued daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.


25


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued


Reclassifications have been made to the Fund’s components of net assets to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers, as applicable) under income tax regulations. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications are due to expiration of capital loss carryovers.

e. Class allocations

Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Distribution fees, if any, are calculated daily at

the class level based on the appropriate net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.

3. ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Evergreen Investment Management Company, LLC (“EIMC”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation (“Wachovia”), is the investment advisor to the Fund and is paid an annual fee starting at 0.44% and declining to 0.39% as average daily net assets increase.

From time to time, EIMC may voluntarily or contractually waive its fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit operating expenses. For any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements made after January 1, 2003, EIMC may recoup any amounts waived and/or reimbursed up to a period of three years following the end of the fiscal year in which the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements were made. Total amounts subject to recoupment as of year ended January 31, 2003 were $1,046,104.

During the year ended January 31, 2003, the amount of expenses for distribution fees reimbursed by the investment advisor and the impact on the expense ratio of each class represented as a percentage of its average net assets was as follows:


Expenses % of average net
reimbursed assets of class

Class A $   1,955,103 0.02%
Class B 14,790 0.01
Class C 2,638 0.01
Class S1 5,718,781 0.36



Evergreen Investment Services, Inc. (“EIS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Wachovia, is the administrator to the Fund. As administrator, EIS provides the Fund with facilities, equipment and personnel and is paid an annual administrative fee of 0.06% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Evergreen Service Company, LLC (“ESC”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Wachovia, is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. ESC receives account fees that vary based on the type of account held by the shareholders in the Fund. For the year ended January 31, 2003, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.


26


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued


4. DISTRIBUTION PLANS

Evergreen Distributor, Inc. (“EDI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BISYS Fund Services, Inc., serves as principal underwriter to the Fund.

The Fund has adopted Distribution Plans, as allowed by Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, for each class of shares, except Class I. Under the Distribution Plans, distribution fees are paid at an annual rate of 0.30% of the average daily net assets for Class A, 0.60% of the average daily net assets for Class S and Class S1 shares and 1.00% of the average daily net assets for Class B and Class C shares.

5. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

On January 31, 2003, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes for the Fund was the same as for financial reporting purposes.

As of January 31, 2003, the Fund had $5,245,478 in capital loss carryovers for federal income tax purposes expiring as follows:


Expiration

2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2011

$32,810 $381,247 $200,609 $139,955 $4,353,228 $137,629



For income tax purposes, capital losses incurred after October 31 within the Fund’s fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year. The Fund has incurred and will elect to defer post-October losses of $9,307.

6. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other certain funds in the Evergreen fund family may participate in an interfund lending program. This program allows the Fund to borrow from other participating funds. During the year ended January 31, 2003, the Fund did not participate in the interfund lending program.

7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

As of January 31, 2003, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis consisted of undistributed ordinary income in the amount of $31,931 and capital loss carryover and post-October loss in the amount of $5,254,785.

The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended January 31, 2003 was $243,076,034 of ordinary income.

8. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS

Through expense offset arrangements with ESC and the Fund’s custodian, a portion of fund expenses has been reduced. The Fund received expense reductions from expense offset arrangements of $122,384, which represents 0.00% of its average daily net assets.


27


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued


9. IN-KIND TRANSACTIONS

Effective on the close of business on September 21, 2001, the Fund acquired assets through in-kind transactions. These transactions each transferred the underlying securities and net cash balances of certain money market funds in the Evergreen family of funds to the Fund. In each transaction, shareholders redeemed out of one fund and purchased shares in another fund representing the value of those underlying securities and net cash balances which resulted in no gain or loss to the shareholders.

The amount of shares issued and value of security received are reflected in the proceeds from shares sold in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the year ended January 31, 2002.

Effective on the close of business on May 24, 2002, the Fund acquired assets through an in-kind transaction. This transaction transferred the underlying securities of Wachovia Money Market Fund into the Fund. In the transaction, shareholders redeemed their shares in Wachovia Money Market Fund and purchased the same number of shares, 445,207,606, of Class S shares of the Fund in consideration for securities valued at $444,231,114, which resulted in no gain or loss to the shareholder. The value of securities received by the Fund and the number of Class S shares issued are reflected as proceeds from shares sold in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the year ended January 31, 2003.

10. DEFERRED TRUSTEES’ FEES

Each independent Trustee of the Fund may defer any or all compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The Trustees’ deferred balances are allocated to deferral accounts, which are included in the accrued expenses for the Fund. The investment performance of the deferral accounts are based on the investment performance of certain Evergreen funds. Any gains earned or losses incurred in the deferral accounts are reported in the Fund’s Trustees’ fees and expenses. At the election of the Trustees, the deferral account will be paid either in one lump sum or in quarterly installments for up to ten years.

11. FINANCING AGREEMENT

The Fund and certain other Evergreen funds share in a $150 million unsecured revolving credit commitment for temporary and emergency purposes, including the funding of redemptions, as permitted by each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at 0.50% per annum above the Federal Funds rate. All of the participating funds are charged an annual commitment fee of 0.09% of the unused balance, which is allocated pro rata.

During the year ended January 31, 2003, the Fund had no borrowings under this agreement.

Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Evergreen Money Market Trust

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of the Evergreen Money Market Fund, a portfolio of Evergreen Money Market Trust, as of January 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the four-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Evergreen Money Market Fund, as of January 31, 2003, the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and financial highlights for each of the years or periods described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
