Dear Shareholder,
 
During the six months ended September 30, 1995, the U.S. economy suffered
lackluster growth before picking up its pace in the third quarter of 1995.
Inflation, already low, subsided even further by the end of the period. The
housing sector finally responded to historically attractive mortgage rates with
robust activity in 1995's third quarter, after a dismal second quarter.
 
On July 6, 1995, the Federal Reserve Board cut the benchmark Federal Funds rate,
the rate banks charge each other for overnight borrowing, by 0.25%. This
decrease, the first in nearly three years, signaled that the Federal Reserve
Board believes that inflationary pressures have eased enough to accommodate an
adjustment in monetary policy from restrictive toward neutral.
 
In addition to concerns over the strength of the recovery, economic news
centered on debate over whether inflation was still likely to become a threat
and details of efforts in Washington to implement a plan to balance the budget.
While the outcome of the budgetary process remains in question, the perception
that the Federal Reserve is winning its war against inflation is widespread.
 
The bond market continued the rally that began in mid-November 1994. The U.S.
stock market has also continued to rally during 1995, pushing the Dow Jones
Industrial Average and S&P 500 Index to a string of new highs. The value of the
U.S. dollar declined for much of the period, but began to recover in August
1995. We expect the current slow-growth, low inflation environment to persist
throughout the last quarter of 1995.
 
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
 
PaineWebber Cashfund's current yield for the seven-day period ended September
30, 1995 was 5.30%, and net assets totalled approximately $4.6 billion. The Fund
maintained a weighted average maturity of 44 days as of September 30, 1995.
 
Going forward, the Fund expects to maintain a neutral weighted average maturity
as short-term rates find stability. The Federal Reserve Board appears to have
engineered a soft landing and it seems as though the next short-term interest
rate move will be another decrease in the Federal Funds rate. However, if
inflation becomes problematic, further increases in short-term interest rates
could be possible. Investment decisions in the Fund will continue to be
dominated by credit quality and liquidity. Although we are interested in
maintaining higher yields, we will not do so by sacrificing the Fund's emphasis
on security, quality and liquidity.

We regret to inform you that one of the Directors of your Fund recently passed
away. Thomas F. Murray had been a director or trustee of Mitchell Hutchins
advised funds since 1986, serving for much of that time as chairman of various
boards' audit committees. His insight and guidance will be missed.
 
We value you as a shareholder and as a client, and thank you for your continued
support. We welcome any comments or questions you may have.
 
Sincerely,
 

 
/s/ Dennis L. McCauley                      /s/ Susan P. Messina

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    PaineWebber Cashfund, Inc. (the "Fund"), was organized under the laws of
Maryland on January 20, 1978 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
diversified management investment company.
 
    Valuation and Accounting for Investments--Investment securities are valued
at amortized cost which approximates market value. Investment transactions are
recorded on 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.
 
    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.
 
    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 of default of the 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.
 
    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. At March 31, 1995, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards of
$1,746,060 available as reductions, to the extent provided in the regulations,
of any future net realized gains; these carryforwards will expire between March
31, 2000 and March 31, 2003. To the extent that such losses are used to offset
future capital gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be
distributed.
 
    Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders--Dividends and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment
income and distributions from realized gains from investment transactions 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 income tax classification. Net capital
gains, if any, will be distributed at least annually, but the Fund may make

more frequent distributions of such gains, if necessary, to maintain its net
asset value per share at $1.00 or to avoid income or excise taxes.
 
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 
    The Fund's board of directors has approved an investment advisory and
administration contract ("Advisory Contract") with PaineWebber Incorporated
("PaineWebber"), under which PaineWebber serves as investment adviser and
administrator of the Fund. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, PaineWebber
receives compensation from the Fund, computed daily and paid on a monthly basis
equivalent to 0.500% per annum of the Fund's first $500 million of average daily
net assets; 0.425% of the next $500 million; 0.390% of the next $500 million;
0.380% of the next $500 million; 0.350% of the next $500 million; 0.345% of the
next $1.0 billion; 0.325% of the next $500 million; 0.315% of the next $500
million; 0.300% of the next $500 million; 0.290% of the next $500 million; and
0.280% of assets in excess of $5.5 billion. At September 30, 1995, the Fund owed
PaineWebber $2,824,182 in investment advisory and administration fees.
 
    Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins") serves as
sub-adviser to the Fund pursuant to Sub-Advisory Contract between PaineWebber
and Mitchell Hutchins. Mitchell Hutchins is an affiliate of PaineWebber. In
accordance with the sub-advisory contract, PaineWebber (not the Fund) pays
Mitchell Hutchins for sub-advisory services provided.
 
In compliance with applicable state securities laws, PaineWebber will reimburse
the Fund for those operating expenses, exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage
fees, distribution fees and extraordinary expenses, which exceed applicable
limitations in any fiscal year. Currently, the most restrictive limitation is
2.5% on the first $30 million of average daily net assets, 2.0% of the next $70
million and 1.5% of any excess over $100 million. For the six months ended
September 30, 1995, no reimbursements were required pursuant to the above
limitation.
 
TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICE FEES
 
    The Fund pays PaineWebber an annual fee of $4.00 per active PaineWebber
shareholder account, plus certain out-of-pocket expenses, for services not
provided by the Funds's transfer agent. For these services for the six months
ended September 30, 1995, PaineWebber earned $1,360,140. At September 30, 1995,
the Fund owed PaineWebber $226,690 for such shareholder service fees and
reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.
 
OTHER LIABILITIES
 
    At September 30, 1995, dividends payable aggregated $3,351,015.
