FUND MANAGER'S LETTER
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
JUNE 30, 1994
Dear Shareholder:
This report relates to the operation of United Cash Management, Inc. for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994.
During the Fund's past fiscal year, the United States economy continued to
expand moderately. In response to the economic environment and possible upward
pressure on prices, the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates.
Even as interest rates rise, extending the Fund's average maturity can be
advantageous when the yield curve is particularly steep, as has been the
situation recently. Accordingly, we invested a portion of the Fund's assets in
securities with maturities longer than 90 days. We also invested about one-
third of the Fund's assets in floating-rate notes, which have yields that
increase as short-term interest rates rise.
We anticipate that the Federal Reserve Board may continue to raise short-
term interest rates, and we expect to pursue the same strategies we have
employed in the recent past in seeking to achieve the Fund's investment
objectives in the upcoming fiscal year. We will continue to hold floating-rate
notes that respond quickly to rising interest rates, and adjust the average
maturity of the Fund's portfolio securities to take full advantage of a changing
interest rate environment.
We appreciate your continued confidence.
Respectfully,
Richard K. Poettgen
Manager, United Cash Management, Inc.

UNITED CASH MANAGEMENT, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1994
NOTE 1 -- Significant Accounting Policies
United Cash Management, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment
company. 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.
A. Security valuation -- The Fund invests only in money market securities with
maturities or irrevocable put options within one year. The Fund uses the
amortized cost method of security valuation which is accomplished by
valuing a security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant
amortization rate to maturity of any discount or premium.
B. Security transactions and related investment income -- Security
transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or
sell is executed). Securities gains and losses, if any, are calculated on
the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis.
C. Federal income taxes -- It is the Fund's policy to distribute all of its
taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise qualify
as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code.
Accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal income taxes.
D. Dividends to shareholders -- All of the Fund's net income is declared and
recorded by the Fund as dividends on each day to shareholders of record at
the time of the previous determination of net asset value. Dividends are
declared from the total of net investment income, plus or minus realized
gains or losses on portfolio securities. Since the Fund does not expect to
realize any long-term capital gains, it does not expect to pay any capital
gains distributions.
NOTE 2 -- Investment Management and Payments to Affiliated Persons
The Fund pays a fee for investment management services. The fee is
computed daily based on the net asset value at the close of business. The fee
consists of a "Group" fee computed each day on the combined net asset values of
all of the funds in the United Group of mutual funds (approximately $10.5
billion of combined net assets at June 30, 1994) at annual rates of .51% of the
first $750 million of combined net assets, .49% on that amount between $750
million and $1.5 billion, .47% between $1.5 billion and $2.25 billion, .45%
between $2.25 billion and $3 billion, .43% between $3 billion and $3.75 billion,
.40% between $3.75 billion and $7.5 billion, .38% between $7.5 billion and $12
billion, and .36% of that amount over $12 billion. The Fund accrues and pays
this fee daily.
Pursuant to assignment of the Investment Management Agreement between the
Fund and Waddell & Reed, Inc. ("W&R"), Waddell & Reed Investment Management
Company ("WRIMCO"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of W&R, serves as the Fund's
investment manager.
The Fund has an Accounting Services Agreement with Waddell & Reed Services
Company ("WARSCO"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of W&R. Under the agreement,
WARSCO acts as the agent in providing accounting services and assistance to the
Fund and pricing daily the value of shares of the Fund. For these services, the
Fund pays WARSCO a monthly fee of one-twelfth of the annual fee shown in the
following table.
Accounting Services Fee
Average
Net Asset Level Annual Fee
(all dollars in millions) Rate for Each Level
------------------------- -------------------
From $ 0 to $ 10 $ 0
From $ 10 to $ 25 $ 10,000
From $ 25 to $ 50 $ 20,000
From $ 50 to $ 100 $ 30,000
From $ 100 to $ 200 $ 40,000
From $ 200 to $ 350 $ 50,000
From $ 350 to $ 550 $ 60,000
From $ 550 to $ 750 $ 70,000
From $ 750 to $1,000 $ 85,000
$1,000 and Over $100,000
At present, the Fund operates under state expense requirements which limit
the amount of aggregate annual expenses, adjusted for certain excess expenses,
that the Fund may incur during its fiscal year. The Manager will reimburse the
Fund for any expenses in excess of the limitation. No such reimbursement is
required for the period ended June 30, 1994.
The Fund also pays WARSCO a monthly per account charge of $1.75 for each
shareholder account which was in existence at any time during the prior month
and $0.75 for each shareholder check it processed. The Fund also reimburses W&R
and WARSCO for certain out-of-pocket costs.
The Fund paid Directors' fees of $12,587.
W&R is an indirect subsidiary of Torchmark Corporation, a holding company,
and United Investors Management Company, a holding company, and a direct
subsidiary of Waddell & Reed Financial Services, Inc., a holding company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
United Cash Management, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of United Cash Management, Inc. (the
"Fund") at June 30, 1994, the results of its operations for the year then ended
and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods
indicated, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at June
30, 1994 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.
