Notes to Financial Statements


1. Significant Accounting Policies

Cash Account Trust (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end, diversified management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust offers three portfolios: Money Market Portfolio, Government Securities Portfolio and Tax-Exempt Portfolio (the "Portfolios"). Money Market Portfolio offers four classes of shares: Institutional, Premier Money Market, Premium Reserve Money Market and Service. Government Securities Portfolio offers two classes of shares: Premier Money Market and Service. Tax-Exempt Portfolio offers four classes of shares: Institutional, Managed, Premier Money Market and Service. Certain detailed financial information for the Premier Money Market shares of each Portfolio, the Institutional shares of the Money Market Portfolio and Tax-Exempt Portfolio, the Premium Reserve Money Market shares of the Money Market Portfolio and the Managed shares of the Tax-Exempt Portfolio is provided separately and is available upon request.

Each Portfolio's investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain Portfolio-level expenses and expense reductions, if any, are borne pro rata on the basis of relative net assets by the holders of all classes of shares of that portfolio except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution service fees, shareholder service fees and certain other class-specific expenses. Differences in class-level expenses may result in payment of different per share dividends by class. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting subject to class-specific arrangements.

Each Portfolio's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements.

Security Valuation. Portfolio securities are valued utilizing the amortized cost method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and certain conditions therein. Under this method, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses on securities, an instrument is initially valued at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant accretion/amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

Repurchase Agreements. Each Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Portfolio, through its custodian or sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest.

Federal Income Taxes. Each Portfolio's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income to its shareholders. Accordingly, each Portfolio paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

At April 30, 2002, the Money Market Portfolio had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $875,000, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until April 30, 2008 ($2,000), April 30, 2009 ($14,000) and April 30, 2010 ($859,000), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.

Distribution of Income and Gains. All of the net investment income of each Portfolio is declared as a daily dividend and is distributed to shareholders monthly. For the purposes of the daily dividend, net investment income includes all realized gains (losses) on portfolio securities.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period. There were no significant book-to-tax differences except for the dividends payable of $7,718,944 at April 30, 2002 for the Money Market Portfolio.

Expenses. Expenses of the Trust arising in connection with a specific Portfolio are allocated to that Portfolio. Other Trust expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Portfolio are apportioned among the Portfolios in the Trust based on relative net assets.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

2. Related Parties

On April 5, 2002, 100% of Zurich Scudder Investments, Inc., ("ZSI") was acquired by Deutsche Bank AG with the exception of Threadneedle Investments in the U.K. Upon the closing of this transaction, ZSI became part of Deutsche Asset Management and changed its name to Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM"). Effective April 5, 2002, the investment management agreements with ZSI were terminated and DeIM became the investment advisor for the Trust. The Investment Management Agreement (the "Management Agreement") is the same in all material respects as the corresponding previous Management Agreement.

Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement, the Advisor directs the investments of the Trust in accordance with its objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by each Portfolio. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. The Trust pays a monthly investment management fee of 1/12 of the annual rate of 0.22% of the first $500,000,000 of average combined daily net assets, 0.20% of the next $500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.175% of the next $1,000,000,000 of such net assets, 0.16% of the next $1,000,000,000 of such net assets and 0.15% of such net assets in excess of $3,000,000,000, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. Accordingly, for the year ended April 30, 2002, the Money Market Portfolio incurred management fees equivalent to the following annual effective rate of the Portfolio's average daily net assets:

In addition, effective July 27, 2001, the Trust pays SDI an annual fee of up to 0.075% and 0.10% of average daily net assets for the Institutional shares and Premium Reserve Money Market shares, of the Money Market Portfolio respectively.

Trustees' Fees and Expenses. The Trust pays each Trustee not affiliated with the Advisor retainer fees plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.

3. Expense Off-Set Arrangements

The Trust has entered into arrangements with its custodian and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of each Portfolio's expenses. During the period, the Money Market Portfolio's custody and transfer agent fees were reduced as follows:

Portfolio

Custodian Fee ($)

4. Line of Credit

The Trust and several affiliated funds (the "Participants") share in a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility administered by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The Participants are charged an annual commitment fee which is allocated, pro rata based upon net assets, among each of the Participants. Interest is calculated at the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5 percent. Each Portfolio may borrow up to a maximum of 33 percent of its net assets under the agreement. During the period the Trust had no borrowings on the line of credit.

Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Cash Account Trust

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of the Money Market Portfolio (one of a series of Cash Account Trust, "the Trust"), as of April 30, 2002, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets, for the each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust'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. 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 investments owned as of April 30, 2002, 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 Money Market Portfolio at April 30, 2002, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
