MARKET REVIEW
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[GRAPHIC]

The six months ended October 31, 2000 began with fears that an overheated
economy would push the increase in the rate of inflation to potentially
disruptive levels--the period ended with some concern that economic growth had
been halted to the extent that it could endanger a hoped-for economic soft
landing. Uncertainty in the equity markets was further fueled by corporate
earnings disappointments, rising energy prices, and rising tensions in the
Middle East. These factors pulled investors increasingly to fixed income
investments, attracted by their relative security and stability of principal.

     As the economy showed signs of slowing in October, and expectations of a
U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") rate cut grew stronger, treasury yields
began to decline. Despite these declines, yields for the 90-day Treasury bill
rose 33 basis points while the 30-year bond rose three basis points (a basis
point equals 1/100th of one percent) during the six months ended October 31,
2000.

     In the latter part of the fiscal period, as the markets struggled and the
economy began to show signs of slowing, the Fed continued to warn that inflation
was its primary concern as it contemplated the future course of interest rates
with a bias toward halting inflation. Late in the period and post-period,
however, home sales and durable goods sales began to dip while unemployment
figures rose. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the third quarter was revised
downward to a 2.4% annual rate of increase, and Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan
noted for the first time in more than a year that inflation might not be the
Fed's primary concern any longer.

HIGHLIGHTS
Although we continue to seek only high credit quality debt instruments, the Fund
lowered its percentage of assets in commercial paper during the period, reducing
the percentage from 85.4% to 57.3%. We also increased the amount of U.S.
Government and Agency debt held by the Fund from 3.3% to 11.6%. The Fund's
average weighted maturity also increased by 33% during this time from 33 days to
44 days. During this period, fixed income investments generally performed well
across the board. The Fund yielded competitive returns compared to its peers.

OUTLOOK
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[GRAPHIC]

Most signs now point to the economy growing at a sustainable pace during the
coming months. We expect the GDP to grow at about 2.0% during the fourth quarter
of this year, increasing slightly to 2.5% during the second quarter of 2001.
Depending largely upon inflation figures, the Fed may lower the Federal Funds
rate by between 0.25% to 0.50% during the first half of 2001 to help ensure that
the economy lands softly, although tensions across the globe and the continued
energy crisis continue to be areas of concern. We will continue to focus on
providing the Fund's shareholders with the highest credit quality investments.

     Our ultimate objective in managing your investments is to help you
successfully meet your financial goals. We thank you for your continued support

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(UNAUDITED)



ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     LIR Cash Reserves Fund (the "Fund") is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified series of Mitchell Hutchins LIR Money Series (the "Trust"), an
open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on
April 29, 1998. The Trust is a series mutual fund with five funds: the Fund,
Mitchell Hutchins LIR Select Money Fund ("LIR Select Money Fund"), LIR Premier
Money Market Fund, LIR Premier Tax-Free Money Market Fund and LIR Liquid Assets
Fund. The financial statements for the LIR Select Money Fund, LIR Premier Money
Market Fund, LIR Premier Tax-Free Money Market Fund and LIR Liquid Assets Fund
are not included herein. Prior to commencement of operations, February 14, 2000,
the Fund had no activity.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires Fund management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

     VALUATION AND ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Investments
are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. Investment
transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from
investment transactions are calculated using the identified cost method.
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Premiums are amortized and
discounts are accreted as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost
of investments.

     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--The Fund's custodian takes possession of the
collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying
collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value,
including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the
event that a counterparty defaults on its obligation to repurchase, the Fund has
the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of
the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or
bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of
the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

     DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Dividends and distributions to shareholders
are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions
are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may
differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax"
differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the
extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified
within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment;
temporary differences do not require reclassification.

CONCENTRATION OF RISK

     The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to meet
their obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those
particular to a specific industry or region.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR

     The Trust has an Investment Advisory and Administration Contract ("Advisory
Contract") under which Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell
Hutchins") serves as investment adviser and administrator of the Fund. Mitchell
Hutchins is a wholly owned asset management subsidiary of PaineWebber
Incorporated ("PaineWebber"), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of UBS AG. In
accordance with the Advisory Contract, Mitchell Hutchins receives


                                                                              9

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(UNAUDITED)


compensation from the Fund, computed daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate
of 0.33% of the Fund's average daily net assets. At October 31, 2000, the Fund
owed Mitchell Hutchins $65,405 in management fees.

     For the period February 14, 2000 (commencement of operations) through the
end of the Fund's first three fiscal years, Mitchell Hutchins has contractually
undertaken to waive 0.04% of its advisory and administration fees and reimburse
a portion of expenses to maintain the Fund's ordinary total annual operating
expenses at a level not exceeding 0.47% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

     For the six months ended October 31, 2000, Mitchell Hutchins waived or
reimbursed $97,043 in investment advisory and administration fees and other
expenses.

OTHER LIABILITIES
     At October 31, 2000, dividends payable were $724,394.

FEDERAL TAX STATUS
     The Fund intends to distribute all of its taxable income and to comply with
the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is
required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially
all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if
any, the Fund intends not to be subject to federal excise tax.

MONEY MARKET FUND INSURANCE BOND
     The Fund obtained an insurance bond that provides limited coverage for
certain loss events involving certain money market instruments held by the Fund.
These loss events include non-payment of principal or interest or a bankruptcy
or insolvency of the issuer or credit enhancement provider (if any). The
insurance bond provides for coverage up to $200 million for a number of funds
with a deductible of 10 basis points (0.10%) of the total assets of the Fund for
First Tier Securities and 50 basis points (0.50%) of the total assets of the
Fund for Second Tier Securities, in each case determined as of the close of
business on the first business day prior to the loss event. In the event of a
loss covered under the bond, the Fund would expect to retain the security in its
portfolio, rather than having to sell it at its current market value, until the
date of payment of the loss, which is generally no later than the maturity of
the security. While the policy is intended to provide some protection against
credit risk and to help the Fund maintain a constant price per share of $1.00,
there is no guarantee that the insurance will do so.

     For the six months ended October 31, 2000, the Fund did not use this
insurance bond.

SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

     There is an unlimited amount of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial
interest authorized. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest, at $1.00 per
share, were as follows:
