Fund Report (unaudited)

For the year ended June 30, 2013

Market Conditions

Rates in the tax-exempt market continued to move down on the shorter end of the curve. The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Index of weekly variable rate securities, at 0.06 percent as of the end of June, matched the prior historical low set in January 2012. The Municipal Market Data (MMD) One-Year Note Index fell two basis points last month to 0.18 percent, its first change since early January.

Broadly speaking, municipal fundamentals continued to improve as most states and many local governments have recovered slowly from the recession. State and local tax collections rose in the first half of the year as an expanding economy and tax increases passed during the recession eased city and state budget woes. While state tax revenue has improved considerably over the past year, local governments continue to struggle in large part because of falling property values. State governments collect most of their revenue from sales and income taxes, which fall fast in response to recessions but also snap back quickly.

In particular, state general funds have shown consecutive quarters of growth in personal income tax and sales tax revenue, both important sources of revenue. In 32 states for which data are available, state tax collections in the first ten months of fiscal year 2013 were 5.7 percent higher than in the same period last year, on average. Revenue is exceeding forecasts in 30 states this budget year, ending this month in most states, according to a report released on June 13 by the National Governors Association. That is helping lift spending to a record $699.2 billion, surpassing the previous high in 2008 as the recession took hold.

That said, the unemployment rate remains high and the economic recovery is relatively weak compared to other post-recessionary periods. We believe state operating budgets likely will be constrained by elevated expenditure pressures and slow revenue growth in the upcoming fiscal year. States are challenged with providing resources for critical areas that were cut back in the recession, declining federal funds for state programs subject to sequestration, and continued spending demands in areas directly impacted by the sluggish economy, such as Medicaid, higher education and corrections. In response to these challenges and other factors, governors’ recommended budgets indicate that most states will moderately increase spending in fiscal 2014.

June 30 marked the end of most state and local governments’ fiscal years. Almost all state and local governments are required by their constitutions or charters to pass balanced budgets. While it may be difficult politically, simply practicing fiscal austerity should be enough for states to overcome near term fiscal challenges. We believe budgets will likely be passed and state finances will likely improve as the economy continues to recover.

In California, the State closed out its 2013 fiscal year on a positive note. On June 27, Governor Jerry Brown signed off on a compromise budget plan that was passed by the legislature without the political turmoil that has accompanied the process in recent years. Reflecting the State’s improving financial condition, the $97.4 billion spending plan incorporates a reserve account of $1.1 billion aimed at building in some protection against future economic strains. Standard & Poor’s raised California’s general obligation (GO) rating

to A from A-minus in January, and Fitch Ratings revised its outlook on the state’s A-minus rating to positive in March. Moody’s Investors Service assigns a rating of A1 to the State’s GO bonds.

Performance Analysis

As of June 30, 2013, Active Assets California Tax-Free Trust had net assets of approximately $2.1 billion and an average portfolio maturity of 26 days. For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2013, the Fund provided a total return of 0.01 percent. For the seven-day period ended June 30, 2013, the Fund provided an effective annualized yield of 0.01 percent (subsidized) and —0.43 percent (non-subsidized) and a current yield of 0.01 percent (subsidized) and —0.43 percent (non-subsidized), while its 30-day moving average yield for June was 0.01 percent (subsidized) and —0.41 percent (non-subsidized). Yield quotations more closely reflect the current earnings of the Fund. The non-subsidized yield reflects what the yield would have been had a fee and/or expense waiver not been in place during the period shown. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

In the on-going environment of extremely low interest rates and struggling economies around the globe, our strategy remains focused on diligent oversight of credit quality, portfolio maturity and diversification. Maintaining high levels of liquidity and protecting principal are the highest priorities. As of the end of the period, the portfolio’s weighted average maturity (WAM) and weighted average life (WAL) were 26 and 30 days, respectively.

With the performance of the economy still lackluster and longed-for optimism struggling to surface, we remain committed to a cautious approach. We believe interest rates are likely to stay at exceptionally low levels until the Federal Reserve sees clear signs that the targets for unemployment and inflation are being met. In this uncertain atmosphere, we will carefully monitor state and local economic and budgetary developments.

There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform as discussed herein or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Fund in the future.

Investment Strategy

The Fund will invest in high quality, short-term securities that are normally municipal obligations that pay interest exempt from federal and California personal income taxes. The “Adviser” Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., seeks to maintain the Fund’s share price at $1.00. The Adviser generally invests substantially all of the Fund’s assets in California municipal obligations and the Fund has a fundamental policy of investing at least 80 percent of its net assets in securities the interest on which is exempt from federal and California personal income tax. This policy may not be changed without shareholder approval. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 20 percent of its net assets in securities that pay interest income subject to the “alternative minimum tax,” and some taxpayers may have to pay tax on a Fund distribution of this income. For more information, see the “Tax Consequences” section of the Fund’s Prospectus.

An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 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.

For More Information About Portfolio Holdings

Each Morgan Stanley fund provides a complete schedule of portfolio holdings in its semiannual and annual reports within 60 days of the end of the fund’s second and fourth fiscal quarters. The semiannual reports and the annual reports are filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form N-CSRS and Form N-CSR, respectively. Morgan Stanley also delivers the semiannual and annual reports to fund shareholders and makes these reports available on its public web site, www.morganstanley.com. Each Morgan Stanley fund also files a complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the fund’s first and third fiscal quarters on Form N-Q and monthly holdings for each money market fund on Form N-MFP. Morgan Stanley does not deliver these reports to shareholders, nor are the first and third fiscal quarter reports posted to the Morgan Stanley public web site. However, the holdings for each money market fund are posted to the Morgan Stanley public web site. You may obtain the Form N-Q filings (as well as the Form N-CSR, N-CSRS and N-MFP filings) by accessing the SEC’s web site, http://www.sec.gov. You may also review and copy them at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the SEC’s public reference room may be obtained by calling the SEC at (800) SEC-0330. You can also request copies of these materials, upon payment of a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the SEC’s e-mail address (publicinfo@sec.gov) or by writing the public reference section of the SEC, Washington, DC 20549-1520.

Householding Notice

To reduce printing and mailing costs, the Fund attempts to eliminate duplicate mailings to the same address. The Fund delivers a single copy of certain shareholder documents, including shareholder reports, prospectuses and proxy materials, to investors with the same last name who reside at the same address. Your participation in this program will continue for an unlimited period of time unless you instruct us otherwise. You can request multiple copies of these documents by calling (800) 869-NEWS, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., ET. Once our Customer Service Center has received your instructions, we will begin sending individual copies for each account within 30 days.

Expense Example (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur costs, including advisory fees; administration fees; distribution and services (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 01/01/13 — 06/30/13.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs, and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds that have transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or exchange fees.

	Beginning Account Value		Ending Account Value		Expenses Paid During Period@
	01/01/13		06/30/13		01/01/13 – 06/30/13
Actual (0.00% return)	$	1,000.00	$	1,000.05	$	0.64
Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)	$	1,000.00	$	1,023.88	$	0.65

@ Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.13% multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 179 @@ /365 (to reflect the one-half year period). If the fund had borne all of its expenses, the annualized expense ratio would have been 0.51%.

@@ Adjusted to reflect non-business day accruals.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval (unaudited)

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Investment Adviser (as defined herein) under the advisory agreement, including portfolio management, investment research and equity and fixed income securities trading. The Board also reviewed and considered the nature and extent of the non-advisory, administrative services provided by the Fund’s Administrator (as defined herein) under the administration agreement, including accounting, clerical, bookkeeping, compliance, business management and planning, and the provision of supplies, office space and utilities at the Investment Adviser’s expense. (The Investment Adviser and the Administrator together are referred to as the “Adviser” and the advisory and administration agreements together are referred to as the “Management Agreement.”) The Board also compared the nature of the services provided by the Adviser with similar services provided by non-affiliated advisers as reported to the Board by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”).

The Board reviewed and considered the qualifications of the portfolio managers, the senior administrative managers and other key personnel of the Adviser who provide the administrative and advisory services to the Fund. The Board determined that the Adviser’s portfolio managers and key personnel are well qualified by education and/or training and experience to perform the services in an efficient and professional manner. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the advisory and administrative services provided were necessary and appropriate for the conduct of the business and investment activities of the Fund and supported its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The Board reviewed the performance, fees and expenses of the Fund compared to its peers, as determined by Lipper, and to appropriate benchmarks where applicable. The Board discussed with the Adviser the performance goals and the actual results achieved in managing the Fund. When considering a fund’s performance, the Board and the Adviser place emphasis on trends and longer-term returns (focusing on one-year, three-year and five-year performance, as of December 31, 2012, or since inception, as applicable). When a fund underperforms its benchmark and/or its peer group average, the Board and the Adviser discuss the causes of such underperformance and, where necessary, they discuss specific changes to investment strategy or investment personnel. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was below its peer group average for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board discussed with the Adviser the level of the advisory and administration fees (together, the “management fee”) for this Fund relative to comparable funds and/or other accounts advised by the Adviser and/or compared to its peers as determined by Lipper. In addition to the management fee, the Board also reviewed the Fund’s total expense ratio. When a fund’s management fee and/or its total expense ratio are higher than its peers, the Board and the Adviser discuss the reasons for this and, where appropriate, they discuss possible waivers and/or caps. The Board noted that while the Fund’s management fee was higher than its peer group average, the Fund’s total expense ratio was lower than its peer group average. After discussion, the Board

concluded that the Fund’s (i) performance was acceptable, (ii) management fee was acceptable, and (iii) total expense ratio was competitive with its peer group average.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered the size and growth prospects of the Fund and how that relates to the Fund’s total expense ratio and particularly the Fund’s management fee rate, which includes breakpoints. In conjunction with its review of the Adviser’s profitability, the Board discussed with the Adviser how a change in assets can affect the efficiency or effectiveness of managing the Fund and whether the management fee level is appropriate relative to current and projected asset levels and/or whether the management fee structure reflects economies of scale as asset levels change. The Board has determined that its review of the actual and potential economies of scale of the Fund supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

Profitability of the Adviser and Affiliates

The Board considered information concerning the costs incurred and profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates during the last year from their relationship with the Fund and during the last two years from their relationship with the Morgan Stanley Fund Complex and reviewed with the Adviser the cost allocation methodology used to determine the profitability of the Adviser and affiliates. The Board has determined that its review of the analysis of the Adviser’s expenses and profitability supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

Other Benefits of the Relationship

The Board considered other benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates derived from their relationship with the Fund and other funds advised by the Adviser. These benefits may include, among other things, “float” benefits derived from handling of checks for purchases and sales, research received by the Adviser generated from commission dollars spent on funds’ portfolio trading and fees for distribution and/or shareholder servicing. The Board reviewed with the Adviser each of these arrangements and the reasonableness of the Adviser’s costs relative to the services performed. The Board has determined that its review of the other benefits received by the Adviser or its affiliates supports its decision to approve the Management Agreement.

Resources of the Adviser and Historical Relationship Between the Fund and the Adviser

The Board considered whether the Adviser is financially sound and has the resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement. The Board also reviewed and considered the historical relationship between the Fund and the Adviser, including the organizational structure of the Adviser, the policies and procedures formulated and adopted by the Adviser for managing the Fund’s operations and the Board’s confidence in the competence and integrity of the senior managers and key personnel of the Adviser. The Board concluded that the

Adviser has the financial resources necessary to fulfill its obligations under the Management Agreement and that it is beneficial for the Fund to continue its relationship with the Adviser.

Other Factors and Current Trends

The Board considered the controls and procedures adopted and implemented by the Adviser and monitored by the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and concluded that the conduct of business by the Adviser indicates a good faith effort on its part to adhere to high ethical standards in the conduct of the Fund’s business.

General Conclusion

After considering and weighing all of the above factors, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve renewal of the Management Agreement for another year. In reaching this conclusion the Board did not give particular weight to any single factor referenced above. The Board considered these factors over the course of numerous meetings, some of which were in executive session with only the independent Board members and their counsel present. It is possible that individual Board members may have weighed these factors differently in reaching their individual decisions to approve the Management Agreement.

Active Assets California Tax-Free Trust

Notes to Financial Statements · June 30, 2013

1. Organization and Accounting Policies

Active Assets California Tax-Free Trust (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of daily income exempt from federal and California personal income tax as is consistent with stability of principal and liquidity. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 10, 1991 and commenced operations on November 12, 1991.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

A. Valuation of Investments — Portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. Investments in mutual funds, including the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds, are valued at the net asset value as of the close of each business day.

B. Accounting for Investments — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined by the identified cost method. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized over the life of the respective securities and are included in interest income. Interest income is accrued daily as earned.

C. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the close of each business day.

D. Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

E. Indemnifications — The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Fair Valuation Measurements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the value that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs);

Active Assets California Tax-Free Trust

Notes to Financial Statements · June 30, 2013 continued

and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

· Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

· Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

· Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to each security.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2013.

INVESTMENT TYPE	LEVEL 1 UNADJUSTED QUOTED PRICES		LEVEL 2 OTHER SIGNIFICANT OBSERVABLE INPUTS		LEVEL 3 SIGNIFICANT UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS		TOTAL
Assets:
Weekly Variable Rate Bonds	$	—	$	1,486,290,000	$	—	$	1,486,290,000
Commercial Paper	—		264,568,000		—		264,568,000

Total Assets	$	—	$	2,229,949,535	$	—	$	2,229,949,535

Transfers between investment levels may occur as the markets fluctuate and/or the availability of data used in an investment’s valuation changes. The Fund recognizes transfers between the levels as of the

Active Assets California Tax-Free Trust

Notes to Financial Statements · June 30, 2013 continued

end of the period. As of June 30, 2013, the Fund did not have any investments transfer between investment levels.

3. Advisory/Administration Agreements

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”), the Fund pays the Adviser an advisory fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, by applying the following annual rates to the net assets of the Fund determined as of the close of each business day: 0.45% to the portion of the daily net assets not exceeding $500 million; 0.375% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $500 million but not exceeding $750 million; 0.325% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $750 million but not exceeding $1 billion; 0.30% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $1 billion but not exceeding $1.5 billion; 0.275% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $1.5 billion but not exceeding $2 billion; 0.25% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $2 billion but not exceeding $2.5 billion; 0.225% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $2.5 billion but not exceeding $3 billion; and 0.20% to the portion of the daily net assets exceeding $3 billion. For the year ended June 30, 2013, the advisory fee rate (net of waivers/rebate) was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.07% of the Fund’s daily net assets.

Pursuant to an Administration Agreement with Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc. (the “Administrator”), an affiliate of the Adviser, the Fund pays an administration fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, by applying the annual rate of 0.05% to the Fund’s daily net assets.

Under a Sub-Administration Agreement between the Administrator and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), State Street provides certain administrative services to the Fund. For such services, the Administrator pays State Street a portion of the fee the Administrator receives from the Fund.

4. Plan of Distribution

Morgan Stanley Distribution, Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser and Administrator, is the distributor of the Fund’s shares and in accordance with a Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, finances certain expenses in connection with the promotion of sales of Fund shares.

Reimbursements for these expenses are made in monthly payments by the Fund to the Distributor, which will in no event exceed an amount equal to a payment at the annual rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets during the month. Expenses incurred by the Distributor pursuant to the Plan in any fiscal year will not be reimbursed by the Fund through payments accrued in any subsequent fiscal year. For the year ended June 30, 2013, the distribution fee was accrued at the annual rate of 0.10%.

Active Assets California Tax-Free Trust

Notes to Financial Statements · June 30, 2013 continued

The Distributor, Adviser and Administrator have agreed to waive and/or reimburse all or a portion of the Fund’s distribution fee, advisory fee and administration fee, respectively, to the extent that total expenses exceed total income of the Fund on a daily basis. For the year ended June 30, 2013, the Distributor waived $2,199,955, and the Adviser waived $5,863,735. These fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements will continue for at least one year or until such time that the Fund’s Board of Trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such waivers and/or expense reimbursements when it deems such action is appropriate.

5. Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund invests in the Institutional Class of the Morgan Stanley Institutional Liquidity Funds — Government Portfolio (the “Liquidity Funds”), an open-end management investment company managed by the Adviser. Advisory fees paid by the Fund are reduced by an amount equal to its pro-rata share of the advisory and administration fees paid by the Fund due to its investment in the Liquidity Funds. For the year ended June 30, 2013, advisory fees paid were reduced by $2,536 relating to the Fund’s investment in the Liquidity Funds.

A summary of the Fund’s transactions in shares of the Liquidity Funds during the year ended June 30, 2013 is as follows:

VALUE JUNE 30, 2012	PURCHASES AT COST		SALES		DIVIDEND INCOME		VALUE JUNE 30, 2013
—	$	149,050,000	$	149,050,000	$	867	—

Morgan Stanley Services Company Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser and Distributor, was the Fund’s transfer agent. Effective July 1, 2013, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved changing the transfer agent to Boston Financial Data Services, Inc.

The Fund has an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering certain independent Trustees of the Fund who will have served as independent Trustees for at least five years at the time of retirement. Benefits under this plan are based on factors which include years of service and compensation. The Trustees voted to close the plan to new participants and eliminate the future benefits growth due to increases to compensation after July 31, 2003. Aggregate pension costs for the year ended June 30, 2013, included in “Trustees’ fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations amounted to $4,088. At June 30, 2013, the Fund had an accrued pension liability of $56,307, which is included in “Accrued expenses and other payables” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Active Assets California Tax-Free Trust

Notes to Financial Statements · June 30, 2013 continued

The Fund has an unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Compensation Plan”), which allows each independent Trustee to defer payment of all, or a portion, of the fees they receive for serving on the Board of Trustees. Each eligible Trustee generally may elect to have the deferred amounts credited with a return equal to the total return on one or more of the Morgan Stanley funds that are offered as investment options under the Compensation Plan. Appreciation/depreciation and distributions received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligation and do not affect the net asset value of the Fund.

6. Shares of Beneficial Interest

Transactions in shares of beneficial interest, at $1.00 per share, were as follows:

	FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013		FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2012
Shares sold	5,618,363,413		6,411,203,264
Shares issued in reinvestment of dividends and distributions	219,973		234,058
	5,618,583,386		6,411,437,322
Shares redeemed	(5,664,291,025	)	(6,589,275,823	)
Net decrease in shares outstanding	(45,707,639	)	(177,838,501	)

7. Federal Income Tax Status

It is the Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable and tax-exempt income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.

Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid daily. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.

FASB ASC 740-10, Income Taxes — Overall , sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other Expenses” in the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York and various states. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended June 30, 2013, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

Active Assets California Tax-Free Trust

Notes to Financial Statements · June 30, 2013 continued

The tax character of distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets due to short-term capital gains being treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. The tax character of distributions paid during fiscal 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

2013 DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:						2012 DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM:
TAX-EXEMPT INCOME		ORDINARY INCOME		LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAIN		TAX-EXEMPT INCOME		ORDINARY INCOME		LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAIN
$	162,560	$	498	$	56,915	$	233,008	$	2,298	$	263

The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature.

Temporary differences are attributable to differing book and tax treatments for the timing of the recognition of gains (losses) on certain investment transactions and the timing of the deductibility of certain expenses.

Permanent differences, primarily due to nondeductible expenses, resulted in the following reclassifications among the Fund’s components of net assets at June 30, 2013:

ACCUMULATED UNDISTRIBUTED INCOME		ACCUMULATED UNDISTRIBUTED NET INVESTMENT GAIN			NET REALIZED PAID-IN-CAPITAL
$	7,526	$	(146,516	)	$	138,990

At June 30, 2013, the components of distributable earnings for the Fund on a tax basis were as follows:

UNDISTRIBUTED TAX-EXEMPT INCOME INCOME		UNDISTRIBUTED LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAIN
$	115,295	—

At June 30, 2013, the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes is the same as the cost for book purposes.

8. Accounting Pronouncement

In January 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-01 (“ASU 2013-01”), Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, replaced Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 (“ASU 2011-11”), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities . ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Active Assets California Tax Free Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Active Assets California Tax Free Trust (the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2013, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the 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. The financial highlights for the two years ended June 30, 2010 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated August 26, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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. The Fund was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and others. 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 Active Assets California Tax Free Trust as of June 30, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

APPENDIX A

AUDIT COMMITTEE

AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

PRE-APPROVAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES

OF THE

MORGAN STANLEY RETAIL AND INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS

AS ADOPTED AND AMENDED JULY 23, 2004,(1)

1. Statement of Principles

The Audit Committee of the Board is required to review and, in its sole discretion, pre-approve all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditors to the Fund and Covered Entities in order to assure that services performed by the Independent Auditors do not impair the auditor’s independence from the Fund.

The SEC has issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client, as well as the audit committee’s administration of the engagement of the independent auditor. The SEC’s rules establish two different approaches to pre-approving services, which the SEC considers to be equally valid. Proposed services either: may be pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committee (“ general pre-approval ”); or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee or its delegate (“ specific pre-approval ”). The Audit Committee believes that the combination of these two approaches in this Policy will result in an effective and efficient procedure to pre-approve services performed by the Independent Auditors. As set forth in this Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval authority has been delegated) if it is to be provided by the Independent Auditors. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

The appendices to this Policy describe the Audit, Audit-related, Tax and All Other services that have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee considers and provides a different period and states otherwise. The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the Independent Auditors without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

(1) This Audit Committee Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures (the “ Policy ”), adopted as of the date above, supersedes and replaces all prior versions that may have been adopted from time to time.

The purpose of this Policy is to set forth the policy and procedures by which the Audit Committee intends to fulfill its responsibilities. It does not delegate the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the Independent Auditors to management.

The Fund’s Independent Auditors have reviewed this Policy and believes that implementation of the Policy will not adversely affect the Independent Auditors’ independence.

2. Delegation

As provided in the Act and the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee may delegate either type of pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

3. Audit Services

The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other procedures required to be performed by the Independent Auditors to be able to form an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements. These other procedures include information systems and procedural reviews and testing performed in order to understand and place reliance on the systems of internal control, and consultations relating to the audit. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Fund structure or other items.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to other Audit services, which are those services that only the Independent Auditors reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements (on Forms N-1A, N-2, N-3, N-4, etc.), periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit services in Appendix B.1. All other Audit services not listed in Appendix B.1 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

4. Audit-related Services

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities or that are traditionally performed by the Independent Auditors. Because the Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to Audit-related services. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters

not classified as “Audit services”; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Forms N-SAR and/or N-CSR.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit-related services in Appendix B.2. All other Audit-related services not listed in Appendix B.2 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

5. Tax Services

The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditors can provide Tax services to the Fund and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities, such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence, and the SEC has stated that the Independent Auditors may provide such services.

Pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the Tax Services in Appendix B.3. All Tax services in Appendix B.3 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

6. All Other Services

The Audit Committee believes, based on the SEC’s rules prohibiting the Independent Auditors from providing specific non-audit services, that other types of non-audit services are permitted. Accordingly, the Audit Committee believes it may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee has pre-approved the All Other services in Appendix B.4. Permissible All Other services not listed in Appendix B.4 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).

7. Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts

Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the Independent Auditors will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels or amounts will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is mindful of the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in determining whether to pre-approve any such services.

8. Procedures

All requests or applications for services to be provided by the Independent Auditors that do not require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer and must include a detailed description of the services to be

rendered. The Fund’s Chief Financial Officer will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the Independent Auditors. Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the Independent Auditors and the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee has designated the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer to monitor the performance of all services provided by the Independent Auditors and to determine whether such services are in compliance with this Policy. The Fund’s Chief Financial Officer will report to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis on the results of its monitoring. Both the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer and management will immediately report to the chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of this Policy that comes to the attention of the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer or any member of management.

9. Additional Requirements

The Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet its responsibility to oversee the work of the Independent Auditors and to assure the auditor’s independence from the Fund, such as reviewing a formal written statement from the Independent Auditors delineating all relationships between the Independent Auditors and the Fund, consistent with Independence Standards Board No. 1, and discussing with the Independent Auditors its methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

10. Covered Entities

Covered Entities include the Fund’s investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Fund’s investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing services to the Fund(s). Beginning with non-audit service contracts entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the Fund’s audit committee must pre-approve non-audit services provided not only to the Fund but also to the Covered Entities if the engagements relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. This list of Covered Entities would include:
