What is United Cash Management, Inc.? 
 
     United Cash Management, Inc. is a corporation organized under Maryland law 
on February 13, 1979.  It is an open-end diversified management investment 
company commonly called a "mutual fund."  The Fund has a Board of Directors 
which has overall responsibility for the management of its affairs.  For the 
names of the directors and other information about them, see the SAI.  The Fund 
has only one class of shares.  Each share has the same rights to dividends and 
to vote.  Shares are fully paid and nonassessable when bought.  The Fund does 
not hold annual meetings of shareholders; however, certain significant 
corporate matters, such as the approval of a new investment advisory agreement 
or a change in a fundamental investment policy, which require shareholder 
approval, will be presented to shareholders at an annual or special meeting 
called by the Board of Directors for such purpose. 
 
     Special meetings of shareholders may be called for any purpose upon 
receipt by the Fund of a request in writing signed by shareholders holding not 
less than 25% of all shares entitled to vote at such meeting, provided certain 
conditions stated in the Bylaws of the Fund are met.  There will normally be no 
meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing directors until such time 
as less than a majority of directors holding office have been elected by 
shareholders, at which time the directors then in office will call a 
shareholders' meeting for the election of directors.  To the extent that 
Section 16(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, applies to the 
Fund, the directors are required to call a meeting of shareholders for the 
purpose of voting upon the question of removal of any director when requested 
in writing to do so by the shareholders of record of not less than 10% of the 
Fund's outstanding shares. 
 
 
Performance Information 
 
     From time to time the Fund or Waddell & Reed, Inc. may include performance 
data in advertisements or in information furnished to present or prospective 
shareholders.  Fund performance may be shown by presenting one or more 
performance measurements, including "current yield," "effective yield" and 
performance rankings. 
 
     The "current yield" of the Fund refers to the income generated by an 
investment in the Fund over a stated seven-day period.  This income is then 
"annualized."  That is, the amount of income generated by the investment during 
that period is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week period and is 
shown as a percentage of the investment.  The "effective yield" is calculated 
similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in the Fund 
is assumed to be reinvested.  See the SAI for current yield and effective yield 
quotations and methods of computation. 
 
     The "effective yield" will be slightly higher than the "current yield" 
because of the compounding effect of the assumed reinvestment.  Both yield 
figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate 
future performance.  An investment in Fund shares is not insured and these 
yields are not fixed or guaranteed.  Yield information cannot necessarily be 
used to compare Fund shares with investment alternatives which provide fixed 
yields, such as money market instruments or bank accounts which may also be 
insured. 
 
     From time to time in advertisements and information furnished to present 
or prospective shareholders the Fund may discuss its performance rankings as 
published by recognized independent mutual fund statistical services such as 
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., or by publications of general interest such 
as Forbes, Money, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Barron's, Fortune or 
Morningstar Mutual Fund Values.  The Fund may also compare its performance to 
that of other selected mutual funds or selected recognized market indicators 
such as Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and the Dow Jones Industrial 
Average.Performance information may be quoted numerically or presented in a 
table, 
graph or other illustration. 
 
     All performance information which the Fund advertises or includes in 
information provided to present or prospective shareholders is historical in 
nature and is not intended to represent or guarantee future results.  Yield 
figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate 
future performance.  An investment in Fund shares is not insured and yield rate 
is not fixed or guaranteed.  Yield information cannot necessarily be used to 
compare Fund shares with investment alternatives which provide fixed yields, 
such as bank accounts (which accounts may be insured), or with yields of 
similar investment companies which may be computed in a different manner.  The 
value of the Fund's shares when redeemed may be more or less than their 
original cost. 
 
 
Goal of the Fund 
 
     The goal of the Fund is to seek maximum current income to the extent 
consistent with stability of principal.  It tries to achieve this goal by 
investing in a portfolio of money market instruments.  This goal, the type of 
securities the Fund may invest in, as described in the following paragraph, and 
the required maturities of these securities are matters of fundamental policy 
which may not be changed without the approval of shareholders.  There is no 
assurance that the Fund will achieve its goal; some market risks are inherent 
in all securities to varying degrees. 
 
     Subject to the further limitations imposed by Rule 2a-7 under the 
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Rule 2a-7"), as described below, the Fund may 
invest only in the following money market obligations and instruments which 
must be denominated in U.S. dollars: U.S. Government obligations (including 
obligations of U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities); bank 
obligations and instruments secured by bank obligations, such as letters of 
credit; commercial paper obligations, including variable amount master demand 
notes, rated A-1 or A-2 by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") or Prime-1 
or Prime-2 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("MIS") or, if not rated, issued 
by a corporation in whose debt obligations the Fund may invest -- corporate 
debt obligations rated at least A by S&P or MIS; Canadian Government 
obligations up to 10% of the value of the Fund's total assets and certain other 
obligations guaranteed as to principal and interest by a bank or a corporation 
in whose commercial paper the Fund may invest.  The Fund intends to invest in 
U.S. Government obligations when there is limited availability of other 
obligations and instruments.  See the SAI for a description of each type of 
investment. 
 
     The Fund is also subject to the requirements of Rule 2a-7 applicable to 
money market funds.  Under the Rule, the Fund may invest only in instruments 
that are rated in one of the two highest rating categories by the requisite 
nationally recognized statistical rating organization(s) or are comparable 
unrated securities.  S&P and MIS are among the nationally recognized 
statistical rating organizations.  See Appendix A to the SAI for a description 
of some of these ratings.  Investments in the securities of any one issuer 
(except U.S. Government Securities) are limited to no more than 5% of the 
Fund's assets.  Investments in securities rated in the second highest rating 
category by the requisite rating organization(s) or comparable unrated 
securities are limited to no more than 5% of the Fund's assets, with 
investments in such securities of any one issuer (except U.S. Government 
Securities) being limited to the greater of 1% of the Fund's assets or 
$1,000,000.  While Rule 2a-7 allows the Fund to invest in securities with a 
remaining maturity of not more than thirteen months, as a matter of fundamental 
policy, the Fund may only invest in securities with a remaining maturity of not 
more than one year. 
 
     The Fund may purchase certain securities subject to repurchase agreements 
(which can be considered to be collateralized loans by the Fund).  The majority 
of the repurchase transactions in which the Fund would engage run from day 
today and the delivery pursuant to the resale typically will occur within one 
to 
five days of the purchase.  The Fund's risk is limited to the ability of the 
vendor to pay the agreed-upon sum on the delivery date.  Due to their possible 
limited liquidity, the Fund will not invest in repurchase agreements not 
terminable within seven days and certain other investments described in the SAI 
if thereafter more than 10% of its net assets would consist of such 
investments.  The Fund may invest in commercial paper which is exempt from 
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Section 4(2) 
paper").  See the SAI for further discussion of other restrictions. 
 
     Subject to the diversification requirements stated in Rule 2a-7 applicable 
to the Fund, the Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in Canadian 
Government obligations and may also invest in foreign bank obligations and in 
the obligations of foreign branches of domestic banks, all of which must be 
payable in U.S. dollars.  As an operating (i.e., non-fundamental) policy, the 
Fund does not intend to invest more than 25% of its assets in a combination of 
these obligations.  There may be certain risks associated with these securities 
not usually associated with U.S. securities including absence of uniform 
accounting, auditing and financial standards, changes in currency rates and in 
exchange regulations, political instability and less government regulation. 
See the SAI for further information. 
 
     The Fund will not purchase the securities of any company which has a 
record of less than three years continuous operation including the operation of 
any predecessor. 
 
     The Fund may lend its securities for the purpose of realizing income.  The 
requirement that such loans be on a collateralized basis in accordance with 
certain regulatory requirements and that the Fund not lend securities 
representing more than 1/3 of its total asset value are fundamental policies 
which can only be changed by shareholder vote.  There are risks associated with 
lending securities in that the Fund may experience delay in recovering the 
collateral or even loss of the collateral.  See the SAI for further 
information. 
 
     The Fund can borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes but 
only up to 10% of its total assets.  Interest paid would reduce the Fund's 
income.  This, too, is a fundamental policy. 
 
     The value of the obligations and instruments in which the Fund invests 
will fluctuate depending, in large part, on changes in prevailing interest 
rates. 
 
 
Management and Services 
 
     Waddell & Reed, Inc. and its predecessors served as investment manager to 
each of the registered investment companies in the United Group of Mutual Funds 
since 1940 or the inception of the investment company, whichever was later, and 
to TMK/United Funds, Inc. since its inception.  On January 8, 1992, subject to 
the authority of the Fund's Board of Directors, Waddell & Reed, Inc. assigned 
its investment management duties (and assigned its professional staff for 
investment management services) to Waddell & Reed Investment Management Company 
(Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waddell & Reed, Inc.  The Manager has 
also served as investment manager for Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc. since its 
inception in September 1992 and Torchmark Government Securities Fund, Inc. and 
Torchmark Insured Tax-Free Fund, Inc. since each commenced operations in 
February 1993.  Waddell & Reed, Inc. serves as the Fund's underwriter and as 
underwriter for each of the investment companies in the United Group of Mutual 
Funds, TMK/United Funds, Inc. and Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc.  Waddell & Reed, 
Inc. 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. 
 
     Subject to authority of the Fund's Board of Directors, the Manager 
provides investment advice and supervises investments for which it is paid afee 
which consists of a pro rata participation based on the relative net asset 
size of the Fund in a "Group" fee computed each day on the combined net asset 
values of all of the funds in the United Group at the annual rates shown in the 
following table.  The fee is accrued and paid daily.  Prior to the above- 
described assignment to the Manager on January 8, 1992, the fees were paid to 
Waddell & Reed, Inc.

     The combined net asset values of all of the funds in the United Group were 
approximately $10.5 billion as of June 30, 1994.  Management fees for the 
fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 were 0.42% of the Fund's average net assets. 
The Fund's total expenses for that year were 1.04% of its average net assets. 
 
     The Manager places transactions for the Fund's portfolio and in doing so 
may consider sales of shares of the Fund and other funds it manages as a factor 
in the selection of brokers to execute portfolio transactions.  See the SAI for 
further information.


Dividends, Distributions and Taxes 
 
     Ordinarily, dividends are declared daily and paid on the 27th day of each 
month or on the last business day prior to the 27th, if the 27th falls on a 
weekend or holiday, from net investment income, which includes accrued 
interest, earned discount and other income earned on portfolio securities less 
expenses.  The Fund distributes its net short-term capital gains annually but 
may make more frequent distributions of such gains if necessary to maintain its 
net asset value per share at $1.00. The Fund may make additional distributions 
if necessary to avoid Federal income or excise taxes on certain undistributed 
income and capital gains.  The Fund does not expect to realize net long-term 
capital gains and, thus, does not anticipate payment of any long-term capital 
gains distributions.  When shares are redeemed, any declared but unpaid 
dividends on those shares will be paid with the next regular dividend payment 
and not at the time of redemption. 
 
     You have the option to receive dividends and distributions in cash, to 
reinvest them without charge or to receive dividends in cash and reinvest 
distributions, as you may instruct.  In the absence of instructions, dividends 
and distributions will be reinvested. 
 
     The Fund intends to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated 
investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 so that it will be 
relieved of Federal income tax on that part of its investment company taxable 
income (consisting generally of net investment income and net short-term 
capital gains) that is distributed to its shareholders. 
 
     Dividends from the Fund's investment company taxable income are taxable to 
you as ordinary income, to the extent of the Fund's earnings and profits, 
whether received in cash or reinvested in additional Fund shares.  The Fund 
notifies you after each calendar year-end as to the amounts of dividends paid 
(or deemed paid) to you for that year. 
 
     The Fund is required to withhold 31% of all dividends payable to 
individuals and certain other noncorporate shareholders who do not furnish the 
Fund with a correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise are subject to 
backup withholding. 
 
     The foregoing is only a summary of some of the important Federal tax 
considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders; see the SAI 
for a further discussion.  There may be other Federal, state or local tax 
considerations applicable to a particular investor.  You are urged to consult 
your own tax adviser. 
 
 
 
Purchase of Shares 
 
     You may purchase shares through Waddell & Reed, Inc. and its sales 
representatives, or through registered broker-dealers.  Broker-dealers may 
charge a fee for this service.  To open an account by mail you must complete an 
application form and mail it to Waddell & Reed, Inc. accompanied by a check, 
money order, Federal Reserve draft or other negotiable bank draft payable to 
Waddell & Reed, Inc. (see inside back cover of this Prospectus for address), 
and it need not accept any orders.  To open an account by wire you may 
telephone the toll-free number on the inside back cover of this Prospectus. 
See the SAI for additional instructions regarding wiring of funds. 
 
     Ordinarily, an initial investment must be at least $1,000.  A $50 minimum 
initial investment pertains to certain retirement plan accounts and to accounts 
for which an investor has arranged, at the time of initial investment, to make 
subsequent purchases for the account by having regular monthly withdrawals of 
$25 or more made from a bank account.  See the SAI for additional information. 
Except with respect to automatic bank withdrawals, additional investments may 
be made in any amount.  To make additional investments by wire, instruct your 
bank to wire the specified amount along with the account number and
registration to:  United Missouri Bank, n.a.  101000695, United K.C. for United 
Cash Management, Inc. 
 
     Shares of any other fund in the United Group (listed on back cover of this 
Prospectus) on which a regular sales charge has been paid may be exchanged for 
shares of another fund in the United Group without payment of an additional 
sales charge.  Shares of the Fund which were acquired by exchange for shares of 
one or more other funds in the United Group whose shares are sold with a sales 
charge may be exchanged for shares of any other fund in the United Group 
without payment of an additional sales charge.  In addition, subject to certain 
conditions, automatic monthly exchanges of shares of the Fund may be made into 
any other fund in the United Group.  These exchange privileges may be 
eliminated or modified at any time, upon notice in certain instances. 
 
     The offering price of a share is its net asset value next determined after 
the effectiveness of the purchase.  Shares are not issued until the Fund has 
Federal funds available to it; Federal funds are monies of a member bank of the 
Federal Reserve System held in deposit at a Federal Reserve Bank.  There is no 
sales charge.  The net asset value will normally remain fixed at $1.00 per 
share.  See the SAI for a discussion of extraordinary circumstances which could 
result in a change in this fixed share value.  The net asset value per share is 
based on a valuation of the Fund's investments at amortized cost.  Other assets 
are valued at their fair value.  See the SAI for discussion of this valuation 
method.  The value of the Fund's investments is determined once each day as of 
the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange on each day the 
Exchange is open. 
 
     Information concerning Flexible Withdrawal Service, Individual Retirement 
Accounts, exchange privileges, Section 403(b) plans, Keogh, 401(k), 457 plans 
and other qualified employee benefit plans is contained in the SAI.  Applicable 
forms are available from Waddell & Reed, Inc.'s sales representatives. 
 
 
Redemption 
 
     You have the right to sell your shares back to the Fund (redeem) at any 
time.  Redemptions are at the net asset value next determined after receipt of 
your request for redemption in good order at the Fund's address shown on the 
front cover of this Prospectus.  A complete purchase application form must have 
been received by Waddell & Reed, Inc. before redemption requests can be 
honored.  Payment is made within seven days unless delayed because of emergency 
conditions determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, when the 
regular session of the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than on 
weekends and holidays), or when trading on the Exchange is restricted.  Payment 
is made in cash, although under extraordinary conditions redemptions may be 
made in portfolio securities. 
 
     If you recently purchased the shares by check, the payment of redemption 
proceeds on these shares may be delayed.  You may arrange for the bank upon 
which the purchase check was drawn to provide to the Fund telephone or written 
assurance, satisfactory to the Fund, that the check has cleared and been 
honored.  If no such assurance is given, payment of the redemption proceeds on 
these shares will be delayed until the earlier of 10 days or when the Fund has 
been able to verify that the check has cleared and been honored.  Checks under 
the check writing redemption procedure are subject to the same delay and may, 
therefore, be dishonored if at the time the check is presented for payment the 
Fund is unable to verify that the purchase check has cleared and been honored. 
In order to avoid this delay investors may use wire payments, Federal Reserve 
drafts or bank cashier's checks to pay for purchases. 
 
     Information concerning the establishment of automatic payments from an 
account is available from sales representatives of Waddell & Reed, 
Inc.Mandatory Redemption of Small Accounts 
 
     Except in the case of retirement plan accounts, if the total net asset 
value of shares held in an account falls below $250, the Fund may redeem all 
shares held in the account and pay the proceeds to the shareholder unless the 
shareholder brings the net asset value of the account above $250 within 60 days 
or within this 60-day period there is a transaction in the account (other than 
a dividend payment) which affects the net asset value.  See the SAI for more 
information.  The Fund has the right to charge a fee of $1.75 per month on all 
accounts with a net asset value of less than $250, except for retirement plan 
accounts and accounts with an increase or decrease in net asset value within 60 
days of such determination. 
 
 
Expedited Redemption Methods (Non-certificate Shares) 
 
     1)  By Telephone, Telegram or Telex.  The Shareholder Servicing Agent (the 
"Agent") will accept instructions to redeem shares and make payment to a 
predesignated domestic bank account by telephone, telegram or telex request. 
Cash proceeds from the redemption of shares will be mailed (or wired, wherever 
possible, upon request, if in an amount of $1,000 or more) to the bank account 
specified in your application form.  To redeem investments by this method, you 
may telephone toll-free (see inside back cover for number).  If instructions 
are received by 3:00 P.M. Overland Park, Kansas time, proceeds will normally be 
mailed or wired the next business day. 
 
     If you wish to use this procedure, you should so elect in your application 
form and provide the required information concerning the domestic commercial 
bank or broker account number. 
 
     2)  By Check.  The Fund's Custodian Bank (the Bank--see inside back cover 
of this Prospectus) will, upon request, provide you with forms of checks drawn 
on it if you own shares not represented by certificates.  These checks may be 
made payable by you to the order of anyone in any amount of not less than $250. 
If you wish to avail yourself of this check writing redemption procedure, you 
should notify the Agent or so indicate on your application form.  There is no 
additional charge for the maintenance of this special check writing privilege 
or for the clearance of any checks.  This privilege is not available for 
retirement plan accounts.  Contact the Shareholder Servicing Agent for further 
information. 
 
     When a check is presented to the Bank for payment, the Bank will request 
that the Fund redeem a sufficient number of full and fractional shares in your 
account to cover the amount of the check.  You will continue to receive 
dividends on those shares equaling the amount being redeemed until such time as 
the check is presented to the Bank for payment.  No "stop-payment" order can be 
placed against these checks. 
 
 
Regular Redemption Method (Certificate and Non-certificate Shares) 
 
     A written request must be sent to the address on the inside back cover of 
this Prospectus, stating how many shares or the amount in dollars you wish to 
redeem.  The written request must be in good order which requires that if more 
than one person owns the shares, each owner must sign the written request.  If 
you hold a certificate, it must be properly endorsed and sent to the Fund.  The 
Fund reserves the right to require a signature guarantee by a national bank, a 
federally chartered savings and loan or a member firm of a national stock 
exchange or other eligible guarantor if the request for redemption is made by a 
corporation, partnership or fiduciary, or if the redemption request is made by, 
or if redemption proceeds are payable to, someone other than the owner of 
record. 
 
 
Telephone Transactions

     The Fund and its agents will not be liable for following instructions 
communicated by telephone that they reasonably believe to be genuine.  The Fund 
will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by 
telephone are genuine.  If the Fund fails to do so, the Fund may be liable for 
losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.  Current procedures 
relating to instructions communicated by telephone include tape recording 
instructions, requiring personal identification and providing written 
confirmations of transactions effected pursuant to such instructions.

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.

                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION 
 
     Waddell & Reed, Inc., the Fund's underwriter, or the Fund may from time to 
time publish the Fund's yield, effective yield and performance rankings in 
advertisements and sales materials.  Yield information is also available by 
calling the Shareholder Servicing Agent at the telephone number shown on the 
inside back cover of the Prospectus. 
 
     There are two methods by which yield is calculated for a specified time 
period for a Class of shares of the Fund.  The first method, which results in 
an amount referred to as the "current yield," assumes an account containing 
exactly one share of the applicable Class at the beginning of the period.  The 
net asset value of this share will be $1.00 except under extraordinary 
circumstances.  The net change in the value of the account during the period is 
then determined by subtracting this beginning value from the value of the 
account at the end of the period which will include all dividends accrued for a 
share of such Class; however, capital changes are excluded from the 
calculation, i.e., realized gains and losses from the sale of securities and 
unrealized appreciation and depreciation.  However, so that the change will not 
reflect the capital changes to be excluded, the dividends used in the yield 
computation may not be the same as the dividends actually declared, as certain 
realized gains and losses and, under unusual circumstances, unrealized gains 
and losses (see "Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Shares"), will be taken 
into account in the calculation of dividends actually declared.  Instead, the 
dividends used in the yield calculation will be those which would have been 
declared if the capital changes had not affected the dividends. 
 
     This net change in the account value is then divided by the value of the 
account at the beginning of the period (i.e., normally $1.00 as discussed 
above) and the resulting figure (referred to as the "base period return") is 
then annualized by multiplying it by 365 and dividing it by the number of days 
in the period with the resulting current yield figure carried to at least the 
nearest hundredth of one percent. 
 
     The second method results in a figure referred to as the "effective 
yield."  This represents an annualization of the current yield with dividends 
reinvested daily.  Effective yield is calculated by compounding the base period 
return by adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and 
subtracting 1 from the result and rounding the result to the nearest hundredth 
of one percent according to the following formula: 
 
                                                 365/7 
     EFFECTIVE YIELD = [(BASE PERIOD RETURN + 1)]      - 1 
 
     The yield for the Fund's Class A shares as calculated above for the seven 
days ended June 30, 1995, the date of the most recent balance sheet included in 
the Prospectus, was 5.77% and its effective yield calculated for the same 
period was 5.93%. 
 
     Changes in yields (calculated on either basis) primarily reflect different 
interest rates received by the Fund as its portfolio securities change.  These 
different rates reflect changes in current interest rates on money market 
instruments.  Both yields are affected by portfolio quality, portfolio 
maturity, type of instruments held and operating expense ratio. 
 
 
Performance Rankings 
 
     Waddell & Reed, Inc. or the Fund also may from time to time publish in 
advertisements or sales material performance rankings as published by 
recognized independent mutual fund statistical services such as Lipper 
Analytical Services, Inc., or by publications of general interest such as 
Forbes, Money, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Barron's, Fortune or 
Morningstar Mutual Fund Values.  Each Class of the Fund may also compare its 
performance to that of other selected mutual funds or selected recognizedmarket 
indicators such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average.  Performance information may be quoted numerically or 
presented in a table, graph or other illustration. 
 
     All performance information that the Fund advertises or includes in sales 
material is historical in nature and is not intended to represent or guarantee 
future results.  The value of Fund shares when redeemed may be more or less 
than their original cost. 
 
 
                         GOAL AND INVESTMENT POLICIES 
 
     The goal and investment policies of the Fund are described in the 
Prospectus, which refers to the following investment methods and practices. 
 
     The Fund may invest only in the money market obligations and instruments 
listed below.  In addition, as a money market fund and in order for the Fund to 
use the "amortized cost method" of valuing its portfolio securities, the Fund 
must comply with Rule 2a-7 ("Rule 2a-7") under the Investment Company Act of 
1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").  Under Rule 2a-7, investments are limited to 
those that are denominated in U.S. dollars and that are rated in one of the two 
highest rating categories by the requisite nationally recognized statistical 
rating organizations(s) ("NRSRO(s)") or are comparable unrated securities.  See 
the Appendix to this SAI for a description of some of these ratings.  In 
addition, Rule 2a-7 limits investments in securities of any one issuer (except 
U.S. Government securities) to no more than 5% of the Fund's assets. 
Investments in securities rated in the second highest rating category by the 
requisite NRSRO(s) or comparable unrated securities are limited to no more than 
5% of the Fund's assets, with investment in such securities of any one issuer 
(except U.S. Government securities) being limited to the greater of 1% of the 
Fund's assets or $1,000,000.  While Rule 2a-7 allows the Fund to invest in 
securities with a remaining maturity of not more than thirteen months, as a 
matter of fundamental policy, the Fund may only invest in securities with a 
remaining maturity of not more than one year.  See discussion under 
"Determination of Offering Price." 
 
     (1)  U.S. Government Obligations:  Obligations issued or guaranteed by the 
U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities.  These include securities 
issued by the U.S. Government, which in turn include Treasury Bills (which 
mature within one year of the date they are issued) and Treasury Notes and 
Bonds (which are issued with longer maturities).  All Treasury securities are 
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. 
 
     U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities that issue or guarantee 
securities include, but are not limited to, the Federal Housing Administration, 
Federal National Mortgage Association, Farmers Home Administration, Export- 
Import Bank of the United States, Small Business Administration, Government 
National Mortgage Association, General Services Administration, Central Bank 
for Cooperatives, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage 
Corporation, Farm Credit Banks, Maritime Administration, the Tennessee Valley 
Authority, the Resolution Funding Corporation and the Student Loan Marketing 
Association. 
 
     Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies and 
instrumentalities are not always supported by the full faith and credit of the 
United States.  Some, such as securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks, 
are backed by the right of the agency or instrumentality to borrow from the 
Treasury.  Others, such as securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage 
Association, are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality and not by 
the Treasury.  If the securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of 
the United States, the owner of the securities must look principally to the 
agency issuing the obligation for repayment and may not be able to assert a 
claim against the United States in the event that the agency or instrumentality 
does not meet its commitment.  The Fund will invest in securities of agencies 
and instrumentalities only if WRIMCO is satisfied that the credit risk involved 
is minimal.

     (2)  Bank Obligations and Instruments Secured Thereby:  Subject to the 
limitations described above, time deposits, certificates of deposit, bankers' 
acceptances and other bank obligations if they are obligations of a bank 
subject to regulation by the U.S. Government (including obligations issued by 
foreign branches of these banks) or obligations issued by a foreign bank having 
total assets equal to at least U.S. $500,000,000, and instruments secured by 
any such obligation; in this SAI, a "bank" includes commercial banks and 
savings and loan associations.  Time deposits are monies kept on deposit with 
U.S. banks or other U.S. financial institutions for a stated period of time at 
a fixed rate of interest.  At present, bank time deposits are not considered by 
the Board of Directors or WRIMCO to be readily marketable.  There may be 
penalties for the early withdrawal of such time deposits, in which case, the 
yield of these investments will be reduced. 
 
     (3)  Commercial Paper Obligations Including Variable Amount Master Demand 
Notes:  Commercial paper rated A-1 or A-2 by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services 
("S&P") or Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("MIS") or, if 
not rated, issued by a corporation in whose debt obligations the Fund may 
invest (see 4 below).  S&P and MIS are among the NRSRO's under Rule 2a-7.  See 
Appendix A for a description of some of these ratings.  A variable amount 
master demand note represents a borrowing arrangement under a letter agreement 
between a commercial paper issuer and an institutional lender. 
 
     (4)  Corporate Debt Obligations:  Corporate debt obligations if they are 
rated at least A by S&P or MIS.  See Appendix A for a description of some of 
these debt ratings. 
 
     (5)  Canadian Government Obligations:  Obligations of, or guaranteed by, 
the Government of Canada, a Province of Canada or any agency, instrumentality 
or political subdivision of that Government or any Province; however, the Fund 
may not invest in Canadian Government obligations if more than 10% of the value 
of its total assets would then be so invested, subject to the diversification 
requirements of Rule 2a-7.  The Fund may not invest in Canadian Government 
obligations if they are denominated in Canadian dollars.  See "Determination of 
Offering Price." 
 
     (6)  Certain Other Obligations:  Obligations other than those listed in 1 
through 5 above only if such other obligation is guaranteed as to principal and 
interest by either a bank in whose obligations the Fund may invest (see 2 
above) or a corporation in whose commercial paper the Fund may invest (see 3 
above) and otherwise permissible under Rule 2a-7. 
 
     The value of the obligations and instruments in which the Fund invests 
will fluctuate depending in large part on changes in prevailing interest rates. 
If these rates go up after the Fund buys an obligation or instrument, its value 
may go down; if these rates go down, its value may go up.  Changes in value and 
yield based on changes in prevailing interest rates may have different effects 
on short-term debt obligations than on long-term obligations.  Long-term 
obligations (which often have higher yields) may fluctuate in value more than 
short-term ones.  Changes in interest rates will be more quickly reflected in 
the yield of a portfolio of short-term obligations than in the yield of a 
portfolio of long-term obligations. 
 
 
Mortgage-Backed Securities 
 
     The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities as long as WRIMCO 
determines that it is consistent with the Fund's investment goal and policies 
and subject to the requirements of Rule 2a-7.  Mortgage-backed securities may 
include pools of mortgages, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, and 
stripped mortgage-backed securities.  The value of these securities may be 
significantly affected by changes in interest rates, the market's perception of 
the issuers, and the creditworthiness of the parties involved.  The Fund may 
purchase mortgage-backed securities issued by both government and non-
government entities such as banks, mortgage lenders, or other financial 
institutions. 
 
     A mortgage-backed security may be an obligation of the issuer backed by a 
mortgage or pool of mortgages or a direct interest in an underlying pool of 
mortgages.  Mortgage-backed securities are based on different types of 
mortgages including those on commercial real estate or residential properties. 
Some mortgage-backed securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, 
make payments of both principal and interest at a variety of intervals; others 
make semiannual interest payments at a predetermined rate and repay principal 
at maturity (like a typical bond).  Pass-through securities and participation 
certificates represent pools of mortgages that are assembled, with interests 
sold in the pool; the assembly is made by an "issuer," such as a mortgage 
banker, commercial bank or savings and loan association, which assembles the 
mortgages in the pool and passes through payments of principal and interest for 
a fee payable to it.  Payments of principal and interest by individual 
mortgagors are passed through to the holders of the interest in the pool. 
Monthly or other regular payments on pass-through securities and participation 
certificates include payments of principal (including prepayments on mortgages 
in the pool) rather than only interest payments. 
 
     The yield characteristics of mortgage-backed securities differ from those 
of traditional debt securities.  Among the major differences are that interest 
and principal payments are made more frequently on mortgage-backed securities 
and that principal may be prepaid at any time because the underlying mortgage 
loans generally may be prepaid at any time.  As a result, if the Fund purchases 
these securities at a premium, a prepayment rate that is faster than expected 
will reduce yield to maturity while a prepayment rate that is slower than 
expected will have the opposite effect of increasing yield to maturity. 
Conversely, if the Fund purchases these securities at a discount, faster than 
expected prepayments will increase, while slower than expected prepayments will 
reduce, yield to maturity.  Accelerated prepayments on securities purchased by 
the Fund at a premium also impose a risk of loss of principal because the 
premium may not have been fully amortized at the time the principal is repaid 
in full. 
 
     The value of mortgage-backed securities may change due to shifts in the 
market's perception of issuers.  In addition, regulatory or tax changes may 
adversely affect the mortgage securities market as a whole.  Non-government 
mortgage-backed securities may offer higher yields than those issued by 
government entities, but also may be subject to greater price changes than 
government issues.  Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk. 
Prepayment, which occurs when unscheduled or early payments are made on the 
underlying mortgages, may shorten the effective maturities of these securities 
and may lower their total returns. 
 
     Timely payment of principal and interest on pass-through securities of the 
Government National Mortgage Association (but not the Federal Home Loan 
Mortgage Corporation or the Federal National Mortgage Association) is 
guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States.  This is not a 
guarantee against market decline of the value of these securities or shares of 
the Fund.  It is possible that the availability and marketability (i.e., 
liquidity) of these securities could be adversely affected by actions of the 
U.S. Government to tighten the availability of its credit. 
 
 
Stripped Securities 
 
     The Fund may invest in stripped securities as long as WRIMCO determines 
that it is consistent with the Fund's investment goal and policies and subject 
to the requirements of Rule 2a-7.  Stripped securities are the separate income 
or principal components of a debt instrument.  Stripped mortgage-backed 
securities are created when a U.S. Government agency or a financial institution 
separates the interest and principal components of a mortgage-backed security 
and sells them as individual securities.  The holder of the "principal-only" 
security ("PO") receives the principal payments made by the underlyingmortgage-
backed security, while the holder of the "interest-only" security 
("IO") receives interest payments from the same underlying security. 
 
     These securities involve risks that are similar to those of other debt 
securities, although they may be more volatile.  The prices of stripped 
mortgage-backed securities may be particularly affected by changes in interest 
rates.  As interest rates fall, prepayment rates tend to increase, which tends 
to reduce prices of IOs and increase prices of POs.  Rising interest rates can 
have the opposite effect.  The Fund has no intent to invest in these types of 
securities. 
 
 
Variable or Floating Rate Instruments 
 
     Variable or floating rate instruments (including notes purchased directly 
from issuers) bear variable or floating interest rates and carry rights that 
permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance plus accrued 
interest from the issuers or certain financial intermediaries.  Floating rate 
securities have interest rates that change whenever there is a change in a 
designated base rate while variable rate instruments provide for a specified 
periodic adjustment in the interest rate.  These formulas are designed to 
result in a market value for the instrument that approximates its par value. 
 
 
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions 
 
     The Fund may purchase any securities in which it may invest on a when- 
issued or delayed-delivery basis or sell them on a delayed-delivery basis.  The 
securities so purchased or sold by the Fund are subject to market fluctuation; 
their value may be less or more when delivered than the purchase price paid or 
received.  For example, delivery to the Fund and payment by the Fund in the 
case of a purchase by it, or delivery by the Fund and payment to it in the case 
of a sale by the Fund, may take place a month or more after the date of the 
transaction.  The purchase or sale price is fixed on the transaction date.  The 
Fund will enter into when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions in order to 
secure what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of 
entering into the transaction.  No interest accrues to the Fund until delivery 
and payment is completed.  When the Fund makes a commitment to purchase 
securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, it will record the 
transaction and thereafter reflect the value of the securities in determining 
its net asset value per share.  The securities so sold by the Fund on a 
delayed-delivery basis are also subject to market fluctuation; their value when 
the Fund delivers them may be more than the purchase price the Fund receives. 
When the Fund makes a commitment to sell securities on a delayed basis, it will 
record the transaction and thereafter value the securities at the sales price 
in determining the Fund's net asset value per share. 
 
     Ordinarily the Fund purchases securities on a when-issued or delayed- 
delivery basis with the intention of actually taking delivery of the 
securities.  However, before the securities are delivered to the Fund and 
before it has paid for them (the "settlement date"), the Fund could sell the 
securities if WRIMCO decided it was advisable to do so for investment reasons. 
The Fund will hold aside or segregate cash or other securities, other than 
those purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, at least equal to 
the amount it will have to pay on the settlement date; these other securities 
may, however, be sold at or before the settlement date to pay the purchase 
price of the when-issued or delayed-delivery securities. 
 
 
Lending Securities 
 
     One of the ways which the Fund may try to realize income is by lending not 
more than one-third of its total asset value.  The percentage limitation can 
only be changed by shareholder vote.  If the Fund does this, the borrower pays 
the Fund an amount equal to the dividends or interest on the securities that 
the Fund would have received if it had not loaned the securities.

     Any securities loans that the Fund makes must be collateralized in 
accordance with applicable regulatory requirements (the "Guidelines").  Under 
the present Guidelines, the collateral must consist of cash and/or U.S. 
Government Obligations.  If the Fund lends its securities, the borrower must 
put up collateral equal to the then market value to secure the loan.  If the 
market value of the loaned securities exceeds the value of the collateral, the 
borrower must add more collateral so that it at least equals the market value 
of the securities loaned.  If the market value of the securities decreases, the 
borrower is entitled to return of the excess collateral.  This policy of 100% 
collateralization is a fundamental policy that can be changed only by 
shareholder vote. 
 
     There are two methods of receiving compensation for making loans.  The 
first is to receive a negotiated loan fee from the borrower.  This method is 
available for both types of collateral.  The second method is to receive 
interest on the investment of the cash collateral or to receive interest on the 
U.S. Government Obligations used as collateral.  Part of the interest received 
in either case may be shared with the borrower. 
 
     Under the Fund's current securities lending procedures, the Fund may lend 
securities only to broker-dealers and financial institutions deemed 
creditworthy by WRIMCO.  The Fund will make loans only under rules of the New 
York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), which presently require the borrower to give the 
securities back to the Fund within five business days after the Fund gives 
notice to do so.  The Fund may pay reasonable finder's, administrative and 
custodian fees in connection with loans of securities. 
 
     There may be risks of delay in receiving additional collateral from the 
borrower if the market value of the securities loaned goes up, risks of delay 
in recovering the securities loaned or even loss of rights in the collateral 
should the borrower of the securities fail financially. 
 
     Some, but not all, of the Fund's rules are necessary to meet requirements 
of certain laws relating to securities loans.  These rules will not be changed 
unless the change is permitted under these requirements.  These requirements do 
not cover the present rules, which may be changed without shareholder vote, as 
to how the Fund may invest cash collateral. 
 
 
Repurchase Agreements 
 
     The Fund may purchase securities subject to repurchase agreements.  A 
repurchase agreement is an instrument under which the Fund purchases a security 
and the seller (normally a commercial bank or broker-dealer) agrees, at the 
time of purchase, that it will repurchase the security at a specified time and 
price.  The amount by which the resale price is greater than the purchase price 
reflects an agreed-upon market interest rate effective for the period of the 
agreement.  The return on the securities subject to the repurchase agreement 
may be more or less than the return on the repurchase agreement. 
 
     The majority of the repurchase agreements in which the Fund would engage 
are overnight transactions, and the delivery pursuant to the resale typically 
will occur within one to five days of the purchase.  The primary risk is that 
the Fund may suffer a loss if the seller fails to pay the agreed-upon amount on 
the delivery date and that amount is greater than the resale price of the 
underlying securities and other collateral held by the Fund.  In the event of 
bankruptcy or other default by the seller, there may be possible delays or 
expenses in liquidating the underlying securities or other collateral, decline 
in their value and loss of interest.  The return on such collateral may be more 
or less than that from the repurchase agreement.  The Fund's repurchase 
agreements will be structured so as to fully collateralize the loans, i.e., the 
value of the underlying securities, which will be held by the Fund's custodian 
bank or by a third party that qualifies as a custodian under Section 17(f) of 
the 1940 Act, is and, during the entire term of the agreement, will remain at 
least equal to the value of the loan, including the accrued interest 
earnedthereon.  Repurchase agreements are entered into only with those entities 
approved by WRIMCO on the basis of criteria established by the Board of 
Directors. 
 
 
Restricted Securities 
 
     The Fund may purchase commercial paper that is issued in reliance on the 
so-called "private placement" exemption from registration that is afforded by 
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Section 4(2) paper").  Section 
4(2) paper is subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale under the 
federal securities laws.  It is generally sold to institutional investors such 
as the Fund who agree that they are purchasing the paper for investment and not 
with a view to public distribution.  Any resale by the purchaser must be in an 
exempt transaction.  Section 4(2) paper is normally resold to other 
institutional investors through or with the assistance of investment dealers 
who make a market in the Section 4(2) paper, thus providing liquidity.  Any 
such paper purchased must meet the credit, maturity and other criteria that 
apply to other securities in which the Fund invests.  Although WRIMCO is of the 
opinion that this type of paper is nearly as liquid as other commercial paper 
in which the Fund invests, there is no assurance that a market will exist for 
Section 4(2) paper that the Fund may own.  WRIMCO will determine the liquidity 
of Section 4(2) paper in accordance with guidelines established by the Board of 
Directors. 
 
     These restricted securities will be valued in the same manner that other 
commercial paper held by the Fund is valued.  See "Portfolio Valuation."  The 
Fund does not anticipate adjusting for any diminution in value of these 
securities on account of their restrictive feature because of the existence of 
an active market which creates liquidity and because of the availability of 
actual market quotations for these restricted securities.  In the event that 
there should cease to be an active market for these securities or actual market 
quotations become unavailable, they will be valued at fair value as determined 
in good faith by the Board of Directors. 
 
 
Illiquid Investments 
 
     The Fund has an operating policy, which may be changed without shareholder 
approval, which provides that the Fund may not invest more than 10% of its net 
assets in illiquid investments.  The instruments currently considered to be 
illiquid include: (i) repurchase agreements not terminable within seven days; 
(ii) fixed time deposits subject to withdrawal penalties other than overnight 
deposits; (iii) securities for which market quotations are not readily 
available; and (iv) Section 4(2) paper not determined to be liquid pursuant to 
guidelines established by the Fund's Board of Directors.  However, this 10% 
limit does not include any obligations payable at principal amount plus accrued 
interest on demand or within seven days after demand. 
 
 
Indexed Securities 
 
     Subject to the requirements of Rule 2a-7, the Fund may purchase securities 
whose prices are indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, 
currencies, precious metals or other commodities, or other financial 
indicators.  Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities 
or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference 
to a specific instrument or statistic.  Gold-indexed securities, for example, 
typically provide for a maturity value that depends on the price of gold, 
resulting in a security whose price tends to rise and fall together with gold 
prices.  Currency-indexed securities typically are short-term to intermediate- 
term debt securities whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by 
reference to the values of one or more specified foreign currencies, and may 
offer higher yields than U.S. dollar-denominated securities of equivalent 
issuers.  Currency-indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed; 
that is, their maturity value may increase when the specified currency 
valueincreases, resulting in a security that performs similarly to a foreign- 
denominated instrument, or their maturity value may decline when foreign 
currencies increase, resulting in a security whose price characteristics are 
similar to a put on the underlying currency.  Currency-indexed securities may 
also have prices that depend on the values of a number of different foreign 
currencies relative to each other. 
 
     Recent issuers of indexed securities have included banks, corporations, 
and certain U.S. Government agencies.  Certain indexed securities that are not 
traded on an established market may be deemed illiquid. 
 
 
Foreign Obligations and Instruments 
 
     Subject to the diversification requirements applicable to the Fund under 
Rule 2a-7, the Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in Canadian 
Government obligations and may also invest in foreign bank obligations and 
obligations of foreign branches of domestic banks.  Each of these obligations 
must be payable in U.S. dollars.  Although there is no fundamental policy 
limiting the Fund's investment in foreign bank obligations and obligations of 
foreign branches of domestic banks, it does not intend to invest more than 25% 
of its total assets in a combination of these obligations. 
 
     Purchasing these securities presents special considerations:  reduction of 
income by foreign taxes; changes in currency rates and controls (e.g., currency 
blockage); lack of public information; lack of uniform accounting, auditing and 
financial reporting standards; less volume on foreign exchanges; less 
liquidity; greater volatility; less regulation of issuers, exchanges and 
brokers; greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits; possibilities in some 
countries of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, social instability or 
adverse diplomatic developments; and differences (which may be favorable or 
unfavorable) between the U.S. economy and foreign economies.  Uncertificated 
foreign securities will be purchased only if permissible under the 
custodianship provisions of the 1940 Act. 
 
 
Investment Restrictions 
 
     Certain of the Fund's investment restrictions are described in the 
Prospectus.  The following are fundamental policies and together with certain 
restrictions described in the Prospectus cannot be changed without shareholder 
approval.  Under these restrictions, the Fund may not: 
 
   (i)  Buy commodities or commodity contracts, voting securities, any mineral 
        related programs or leases, or oil or gas leases, any shares of other 
        investment companies or any warrants, puts, calls or combinations 
        thereof; 
 
  (ii)  Buy real estate nor any nonliquid interest in real estate investment 
        trusts; however, the Fund may buy obligations or instruments that it 
        may otherwise buy even though the issuer invests in real estate or 
        interests in real estate; 
 
 (iii)  Buy the securities of any company if it would then own more than 10% of 
        the total value of its outstanding securities; or buy the securities 
        (not including U.S. Government Obligations) of any company if more than 
        5% of the Fund's total assets (valued at market value) would then be 
        invested in that company; or buy the securities of companies in any one 
        industry if more than 25% of the Fund's total assets would then be in 
        companies in that industry; U.S. Government Obligations and bank 
        obligations and instruments are not included in this limit (but see 
        "Foreign Obligations and Instruments"); 
 
  (iv)  Make loans other than certain limited types of loans described herein; 
        the Fund can buy debt securities that it is permitted to purchase; it 
        can also lend its portfolio securities (see "Lending Securities" above)        
or, except as provided above, enter into repurchase agreements (see 
        "Repurchase Agreements" above); 
 
   (v)  Invest for the purpose of exercising control or management of other 
        companies; 
 
  (vi)  Buy or continue to hold securities if the Fund's Directors or officers 
        or certain others own a certain percentage of the same securities; if 
        any one of these individuals owns more than .5 of 1% of the shares of a 
        company and if the individuals who own that much or more own 5% of that 
        company's shares, the Fund cannot buy that company's shares or continue 
        to own them; 
 
 (vii)  Participate on a joint, or a joint and several, basis in any trading 
        account in any securities; 
 
(viii)  Sell securities short or buy securities on margin; also, the Fund may 
        not engage in arbitrage transactions; 
 
  (ix)  Engage in the underwriting of securities or invest in restricted 
        securities, that are securities which are restricted as to disposition 
        under the Federal securities laws, except commercial paper that is 
        exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 
        1933; or 
 
   (x)  Borrow to increase income, but only to meet redemptions so it will not 
        have to sell portfolio securities for this purpose.  The Fund may 
        borrow money from banks as a temporary measure or for extraordinary or 
        emergency purposes but only up to 10% of its total assets.  It can 
        mortgage or pledge its assets in connection with such borrowing but 
        only up to the lesser of the amounts borrowed or 5% of the value of the 
        Fund's assets. 
 
 
Portfolio Turnover 
 
     In general, the Fund purchases investments with the expectation of holding 
them to maturity.  However, the Fund may engage in short-term trading to 
attempt to take advantage of short-term market variations.  The Fund may also 
sell securities prior to maturity to meet redemptions or as a result of a 
revised management evaluation of the issuer.  The Fund has high portfolio 
turnover due to the short maturities of its investments, but this should not 
affect its net asset value or income, as brokerage commissions are not usually 
paid on the investments which the Fund makes.  In the usual calculation of 
portfolio turnover, securities of the type in which the Fund invests are 
excluded.  Consequently, the high turnover which it will have is not comparable 
to the turnover rates of most investment companies. 
 
 
Portfolio Valuation 
 
     Under Rule 2a-7, the Fund is permitted to use the "amortized cost method" 
for valuing its portfolio securities provided it meets certain conditions.  See 
"Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Shares."  The conditions imposed under 
Rule 2a-7 relating to the Fund's portfolio investments are that (i) the Fund 
must not maintain a dollar weighted average portfolio maturity in excess of 90 
days; (ii) it must limit its investments, including repurchase agreements, to 
those instruments which are denominated in U.S. dollars and which WRIMCO, 
pursuant to guidelines established by the Fund's Board of Directors, determines 
present minimal credit risks and which are rated in one of the two highest 
rating categories by the requisite nationally recognized statistical rating 
organization(s) ("NRSRO(s)"), as defined in Rule 2a-7 or, in the case of any 
instrument that is not rated, of comparable quality as determined by the Fund's 
Board of Directors; (iii) it must limit its investments in the securities of 
any one issuer (except U.S. Government Securities) to no more than 5% of its 
assets; (iv) it must limit its investments in securities rated in the 
secondhighest rating category by the requisite NRSRO(s) or comparable unrated 
securities to no more than 5% of its assets; (v) it must limit its investments 
in the securities of any one issuer which are rated in the second highest 
rating category by the requisite NRSRO(s) or comparable unrated securities to 
the greater of 1% of its assets or $1,000,000; and (vi) it must limit its 
investments to securities with a remaining maturity of not more than thirteen 
months; however, the Fund is required as a matter of fundamental policy to 
limit its investments to securities with a remaining maturity of not more than 
one year.  Rule 2a-7 sets forth the method by which the maturity of a security 
is determined.

Reed, Inc., the Agent performs shareholder servicing functions, including the 
maintenance of shareholder accounts, the issuance, transfer and redemption of 
shares, distribution of dividends and payment of redemptions, the furnishing of

Payments by the Fund for Management, Accounting and Shareholder Services 
 
     Under the Management Agreement, for WRIMCO's management services, the Fund 
pays WRIMCO a fee as described in the Prospectus. 
 
     The management fees paid to  WRIMCO during the fiscal years ended June 30, 
1995, 1994 and 1993 were $1,398,085, $1,372,977 and $1,668,435, respectively. 
 
      For purposes of calculating the daily fee the Fund does not include money 
owed to it by Waddell & Reed, Inc. for shares which it has sold but not yet 
paid the Fund.  The Fund accrues and pays this fee daily. 
 
     Under the Shareholder Servicing Agreement, the Fund pays the Agent a 
monthly fee of $1.75 for each shareholder account which was in existence at any 
time during the prior month, and $.75 for each shareholder check it processes. 
The Fund also pays certain out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, including long 
distance telephone communications costs; microfilm and storage costs for 
certain documents; forms, printing and mailing costs; and costs of legal and 
special services not provided by Waddell & Reed, Inc., WRIMCO, or the Agent. 
 
     Under the Accounting Services Agreement, the Fund pays the Agent 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 
 
     Fees paid to the Agent for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 
1993 were $51,667, $50,000 and $60,000, respectively.

     The state of California imposes limits on the amount of certain expenses 
the Fund can pay.  If these expense amounts are exceeded, WRIMCO is required to 
reduce the amount of such expenses to the extent they exceed the expense 
limitation.  The State of California has granted the Fund a variance from the 
expense limitation to allow the Fund to exclude from its aggregate annual 
expenses transfer agency fees, professional fees and report costs to the extent 
that the Fund's expense ratio for each of these expenses exceeds what its 
expense ratio for such expenses would be if its average account size was equal 
to or greater than the industry average account size for money market funds as 
reported by the Investment Company Institute.  Other expenses excluded from 
aggregate annual expenses include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and 
extraordinary expenses, such as litigation.  The Fund will notify shareholders 
of any change in the variance. 
 
     Since the Fund pays a management fee for investment supervision and an 
accounting services fee for accounting services as discussed above, WRIMCO and 
the Agent, respectively, pay all of their own expenses in providing these 
services.  Amounts paid by the Fund under the Shareholder Servicing Agreement 
are described above.  Waddell & Reed, Inc. and affiliates pay the Fund's 
Directors and officers who are affiliated with WRIMCO and its affiliates.  The 
Fund pays the fees and expenses of the Fund's other Directors. 
 
     These and other sales expenses of Waddell & Reed, Inc. are not covered by 
any sales charge on Fund shares.  On those funds in the United Group whose 
shares are sold with sales charges and in the sale of certain unit investment 
trusts, a major portion of the sales charge is paid to Waddell & Reed, Inc.'s 
account representatives and managers.  Waddell & Reed, Inc. may compensate its 
account representatives as to purchases for which there is no sales charge. 
 
     The Fund pays all of its other expenses.  These include the costs of 
materials sent to shareholders, audit and outside legal fees, taxes, brokerage 
commissions, interest, insurance premiums, custodian fees, fees payable by the 
Fund under Federal or other securities laws and to the Investment Company 
Institute and nonrecurring and extraordinary expenses, including litigation and 
indemnification relating to litigation. 
 
 
Distribution Arrangement 
 
     Waddell & Reed, Inc. (the "Distributor") acts as principal underwriter and 
distributor of the Fund's shares pursuant to an underwriting agreement 
("Agreement").  The Agreement requires the Distributor to use its best efforts 
to sell the shares of the Fund but is not exclusive, and permits and recognizes 
that the Distributor also distributes shares of other investment companies and 
other securities.  Shares are sold on a continuous basis.  Under this 
agreement, Waddell & Reed, Inc. pays the costs of sales literature, including 
the costs of shareholder reports used as sales literature, and the costs of 
printing the prospectus furnished to it by the Fund. 
 
     Under a Distribution and Service Plan for Class B shares (the "Plan") 
adopted by the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund pays 
the Distributor daily a distribution fee at the annual rate of up to 0.75% of 
the Fund's net assets attributable to Class B shares and a service fee of up to 
0.25% of the Fund's net assets attributable to Class B shares. 
 
     The Distributor offers the Class B shares of the Fund through its 
registered representatives and sales managers (sales force).  In distributing 
shares through its sales force, the Distributor will pay commissions and 
incentives to the sales force at or about the time of sale and will incur other 
expenses including for prospectuses, sales literature, advertisements, sales 
office maintenance, processing of orders and general overhead with respect to 
its efforts to distribute the Fund's shares.  The Plan and the Agreement 
contemplate that the Distributor may be compensated for these distribution 
efforts with respect to Class B shares through the distribution fee.  The sales 
force may be paid continuing compensation based on the value of the Class 
Bshares held by shareholders to whom the member of the sales force is assigned 
to provide personal services, and the Distributor or its subsidiary, Waddell & 
Reed Services Company, may also provide services to Class B shareholders 
through telephonic means and written communications.  The amounts actually paid 
by the Distributor in providing these services to Class B shareholders are 
reimbursed by the service fee, subject to the limitations set forth in the 
Plan.  A service fee is not payable, however, unless the amounts have actually 
been expended by the Distributor in providing these continuing services. 
 
     The Plan and Agreement were approved by the Fund's Board of Directors, 
including the Directors who are not interested persons of the Fund or of the 
Distributor and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the 
operations of the Plan or any agreement referred to in the Plan (hereafter the 
"Plan Directors").  The Plan was also approved by the Distributor as the sole 
shareholder of the Class B shares of the Fund at the time.  The Plan will be 
submitted for approval by the applicable shareholders at the first meeting of 
shareholders following the commencement of the public distribution of the 
Fund's Class B shares. 
 
     Among other things, the Plan provides that (i) the Distributor will submit 
to the Directors at least quarterly, and the Directors will review, reports 
regarding all amounts expended under the Plan and the purposes for which such 
expenditures were made, (ii) the Plan will continue in effect only so long as 
it is approved at least annually, and any material amendments thereto are 
approved by the Directors including the Plan Directors acting in person at a 
meeting called for that purpose, (iii) payments by the Fund under the Plan 
shall not be materially increased without the affirmative vote of the holders 
of a majority of the outstanding shares of the affected Class, and (iv) while 
the Plan remains in effect, the selection and nomination of the Directors who 
are Plan Directors shall be committed to the discretion of the Plan Directors. 
 
     In approving the Plan and the Agreement, the Directors, including the Plan 
Directors, considered that investors will be offered an alternative to 
purchasing shares of a mutual fund with a front end sales charge and considered 
the incentive provided by the service fee to the Distributor, and particularly 
to its sales force, to provide continuing service to shareholders in 
maintaining their investments in Class B shares of the Fund.  In addition, 
these Directors considered the features of the distribution system including 
(i) the conditions under which the deferred sales charge would be imposed and 
the amount thereof, (ii) the advantage to investors of having the entire amount 
of their purchase payment immediately invested in the Fund's shares, (iii) the 
Distributor's belief that the ability of the sales force to receive sales 
commissions when the shares are sold and continuing service fees thereafter 
will prove attractive to the sales force, resulting in the greater growth of 
the Fund than might otherwise be the case, (iv) the advantages to shareholders 
of the Fund of the economies of scale resulting from growth of the Fund's 
assets and the ability to achieve greater diversification of Fund investments 
than if the Fund's assets were limited, (v) the services provided to the Fund 
and its Class B shareholders by the Distributor and its affiliates, (vi) the 
Distributor's expenses and costs in promoting the sale of Class B shares of the 
Fund and particularly the payments of commissions and incentives to its sale 
force and (vii) the indirect costs to shareholders of the distribution and 
service fees.  The Directors also recognized the Distributor's willingness to 
undertake the distribution expenses without the concomitant receipt of an 
initial front end sales charge and without any guarantee that the compensation 
under the Plan will not unilaterally be terminated by the Fund before the 
Distributor can recover its expenses.  The Directors also considered all the 
fees that would be payable to the Distributor and its affiliates for the 
various services provided to the Fund and its shareholders, which fees would 
increase if the Plan is successful and the Fund attained and maintained 
significant asset levels.

Custodial and Auditing Services 
 
     The Fund's Custodian is UMB Bank, n.a., Kansas City, Missouri.  In 
general, the Custodian is responsible for holding the Fund's cash and 
securities.  The Fund may place and maintain its foreign securities and cash 
with a foreign custodian in accordance with Rule 17f-5 of the 1940 Act.  Price 
Waterhouse LLP, Kansas City, Missouri, the Fund's independent accountants, 
audits the Fund's financial statements. 
 
 
                  PURCHASE, REDEMPTION AND PRICING OF SHARES 
 
 
Determination of Offering Price 
 
     The value of each share of a Class of the Fund is the net asset value of 
the applicable Class.  The Fund is designed so that the value of each share of 
each Class of the Fund (the net asset value per share) will remain fixed at 
$1.00 per share except under extraordinary circumstances, although this may not 
always be possible.  This net asset value per share is what you pay for shares 
and what you receive when you redeem them. 
 
     The net asset value per share is computed once each day that the NYSE is 
open for trading as of the close of the regular session of the NYSE 
(ordinarily, 4:00 P.M. Eastern time).  The NYSE annually announces the days on 
which it will not be open for trading.  The most recent announcement indicates 
that it will not be open on the following days:  New Years Day, Presidents' 
Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day 
and Christmas Day.  However, it is possible that the NYSE may close on other 
days. 
 
     The Fund operates under Rule 2a-7 which permits it to value its portfolio 
on the basis of amortized cost.  The amortized cost method of valuation is 
accomplished by valuing a security at its cost and thereafter assuming a 
constant amortization rate to maturity of any discount or premium, and does not 
reflect the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the 
security.  This method does not take into account unrealized gains or losses. 
 
     While the amortized cost method provides some degree of certainty in 
valuation, there may be periods during which value, as determined by amortized 
cost, is higher or lower than the price the Fund would receive if it sold the 
instrument.  During periods of declining interest rates, the daily yield on the 
Fund's shares may tend to be higher than a like computation made by a fund with 
identical investments utilizing a method of valuation based upon market prices 
and estimates of market prices for all of its portfolio instruments and 
changing its dividends based on these changing prices.  Thus, if the use of 
amortized cost by the Fund resulted in a lower aggregate portfolio value on a 
particular day, a prospective investor in the Fund's shares would be able to 
obtain a somewhat higher yield than would result from investment in such a 
fund, and existing investors in the Fund's shares would receive less investment 
income.  The converse would apply in a period of rising interest rates. 
 
     Under Rule 2a-7, the Fund's Board of Directors must establish procedures 
designed to stabilize, to the extent reasonably possible, the Fund's price per 
share as computed for the purpose of sales and redemptions at $1.00.  Such 
procedures must include review of the Fund's portfolio holdings by the Board at 
such intervals as it may deem appropriate and at such intervals as are 
reasonable in light of current market conditions to determine whether the 
Fund's net asset value calculated by using available market quotations (see 
below) deviates from the per share value based on amortized cost. 
 
     For the purpose of determining whether there is any deviation between the 
value of the Fund's portfolio based on amortized cost and that determined on 
the basis of available market quotations, if there are readily available market 
quotations, investments are valued at the mean between the bid and asked 
prices.  If such market quotations are not available, the investments will 
bevalued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures 
established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the 
Fund's Board of Directors, including being valued at prices based on market 
quotations for investments of similar type, yield and duration. 
 
     Under Rule 2a-7, if the extent of any deviation between the net asset 
value per share based upon "available market quotations" (see above) and the 
net asset value per share based on amortized cost exceeds one-half of 1%, the 
Board must promptly consider what action, if any, will be initiated.  When the 
Board believes that the extent of any deviation may result in material dilution 
or other unfair results to investors or existing shareholders, it is required 
to take such action as it deems appropriate to eliminate or reduce to the 
extent reasonably practicable such dilution or unfair results.  Such actions 
could include the sale of portfolio securities prior to maturity to realize 
capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity, withholding 
dividends or payment of distributions from capital or capital gains, 
redemptions of shares in kind, or establishing a net asset value per share 
using available market quotations. 
 
     The procedures which the Fund's Board of Directors has adopted include 
changes in the dividends payable by the Fund under specified conditions, as 
further described under "Taxes" and "Payments to Shareholders."  The purpose of 
this portion of the procedures is to provide for the automatic taking of one of 
the actions which the Board of Directors might take should it otherwise be 
required to consider taking appropriate action. 
 
 
Minimum Initial and Subsequent Investments 
 
     For Class A shares, initial investments must be at least $1,000 with the 
exceptions described in this paragraph.  A $50 minimum initial investment 
pertains to certain retirement plan accounts and to accounts for which an 
investor has arranged, at the time of initial investment, to make subsequent 
purchases for the account by having regular monthly withdrawals of $25 or more 
made from a bank account.  A $25 minimum initial investment pertains to 
purchases made through payroll deduction for or by employees of Waddell & Reed, 
Inc., WRIMCO, their affiliates or certain retirement plan accounts.  With the 
exception of automatic withdrawals from a shareholder's bank account, a 
shareholder may make subsequent investments of any amount.  See "Exchanges." 
 
     For Class B shares, initial and subsequent investments must be at least 
$100.  See "Exchanges." 
 
 
How to Open an Account 
 
     If you are purchasing Class A shares, you can make an initial investment 
of $1,000 or more in any of the following ways: 
 
     1)  By Mail.  Complete an application form and mail it to Waddell & Reed, 
Inc. at the address indicated on the form.  Accompany the form with a check, 
money order, Federal Reserve draft or other negotiable bank draft payable to 
Waddell & Reed, Inc. 
 
     2)  By Wire.  (a) Telephone Waddell & Reed, Inc. (toll-free phone number 
on the inside back cover of the Prospectus) and provide the account 
registration, address and social security or tax identification number, the 
amount being wired, the name of the wiring bank and the name and telephone 
number of the person to be contacted in connection with the order.  You will 
then be provided with an order number; (b) instruct your bank to wire by the 
Federal Reserve Wire Order System the specified amount, along with the order 
number and registration to the UMB Bank, n.a.; 101000695, United K.C.; for 
United Cash Management, Inc.; (c) complete an application form and mail it to 
Waddell & Reed, Inc.

     3)  Through Broker-dealers.  You may, if you wish, purchase your shares 
through registered broker-dealers, which may charge their customers a fee for 
this service.  There is no such fee for investments made by mail or wire, as 
described above, or for additional investments made by mail or wire.  No such 
service fee will be charged for shares purchased through Waddell & Reed, Inc. 
 
     If you are purchasing Class B shares, you can make an initial investment 
of $100 or more only by exchange of your corresponding shares of Waddell & Reed 
Funds, Inc. 
 
 
How to Make Additional Investments 
 
     You may make additional investments in Class A shares in any amount 
through broker-dealers as described above or in either of the following ways: 
 
     1)  By Mail.  Mail a check, money order, Federal Reserve draft or other 
negotiable bank draft payable to Waddell & Reed, Inc. at P.O. Box 29217, 
Shawnee Mission, Kansas  66201-9217, accompanied by either (i) the detachable 
form which accompanies the confirmation of a prior purchase by you, or (ii) a 
letter showing your account number and registration and stating that you wish 
the enclosed check, etc. to be used for the purchase of shares of United Cash 
Management, Inc. 
 
     2)  By Wire.  Instruct your bank to wire the specified amount along with 
the account number and registration to the UMB Bank, n.a.; 101000695, United 
K.C.; for United Cash Management, Inc. 
 
     You may make additional investments of $100 or more in Class B shares only 
by exchange of your corresponding shares of Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc. 
 
     Purchase of the Fund's shares are effective after (i) one of the methods 
for purchasing the Fund's shares indicated above has been properly completed 
and (ii) UMB Bank, n.a. (the "Bank") has Federal funds available to it which 
are thus available to the Fund for investment.  Federal funds are monies of a 
member bank with the Federal Reserve System held in deposit at a Federal 
Reserve Bank.  They represent immediately available cash.  If payment is made 
by check or otherwise than in Federal funds, it will be necessary to convert 
investors' payments into Federal funds, and orders for the purchase of the 
Fund's shares, if accepted by Waddell & Reed, Inc., will become effective on 
the day Federal funds are received for value by the Bank; this is normally 
anticipated to be two business days following receipt of payment by Waddell & 
Reed, Inc.  The Fund's shares are issued at their net asset value next 
determined after the effectiveness of the purchase (i.e., at $1.00 per share 
except under extraordinary circumstances as described above). 
 
     If you wish to insure that shares will be issued on the same day on which 
your payment is made so that dividends on these shares will be declared on the 
next day, you should (i) place your order by wire so that it will be received 
by the Bank prior to 3:00 P.M. Kansas City time, and (ii) before wiring the 
order, phone Waddell & Reed, Inc. at the number on the inside back cover of the 
Prospectus to make sure that the wire order as described above is properly 
identified. 
 
     Special arrangements may be made by Waddell & Reed, Inc. with other 
broker-dealers to permit shares ordered by such broker-dealers to be issued on 
the day of such order.  Under these arrangements, the orders, including 
registration information, must be received by Waddell & Reed, Inc. at its 
Overland Park, Kansas office prior to 3:00 P.M. Overland Park, Kansas time; and 
the broker-dealer must guarantee that the Bank will have Federal funds for the 
purchase price of the shares ordered by at least 11:00 A.M. on the following 
business day.  Such arrangements will not be made on Fridays or on any day that 
precedes a holiday. 
 
     Waddell & Reed, Inc. has the right not to accept any purchase order for 
the Fund's shares.  Certificates are not normally issued but may be 
requestedfor Class A shares.  Shareholdings are recorded on the Fund's books 
whether or 
not a certificate is issued. 
 
 
Redemptions 
 
     The Prospectus gives information as to expedited and regular redemption 
procedures.  Redemption payments are made within seven days unless delayed 
because of certain emergency conditions determined by the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, when the NYSE is closed other than for weekends or 
holidays, or when trading on the NYSE is restricted.  Payment is made in cash, 
although under extraordinary conditions redemptions may be made in portfolio 
securities.  Payment for redemption of shares of the Fund may be made in 
portfolio securities when the Fund's Board of Directors determines that 
conditions exist making cash payments undesirable.  Securities used for payment 
of redemptions are valued at the value used in figuring net asset value.  There 
would be brokerage costs to the redeeming shareholder in selling such 
securities.  The Fund, however, has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under 
the 1940 Act, pursuant to which it is obligated to redeem shares solely in cash 
up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of its net asset value during any 90-day 
period for any one shareholder. 
 
 
Flexible Withdrawal Service 
 
     If you qualify, you may arrange to receive regular monthly, quarterly, 
semiannual or annual payments by redeeming shares on a regular basis through 
the Flexible Withdrawal Service (the "Service"). 
 
     If you own Class A shares, to qualify for the Service you must have 
invested at least $10,000 in Class A or corresponding shares which you still 
own of any of the funds in the United Group; or, you must own Class A or 
corresponding shares having a value of at least $10,000.  The value for this 
purpose is not the net asset value but the value at the offering price, i.e., 
the net asset value plus the sales charge. 
 
     If you own Class B shares, to qualify for the Service you must have 
invested at least $10,000 in Class B or corresponding shares which you still 
own of the Fund or any of the funds in Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc. or you must 
own Class B or corresponding shares of the Fund or any of the funds in Waddell 
& Reed Funds, Inc. having a value of at least $10,000. 
 
     To start the Service, you must fill out a form (available from Waddell & 
Reed, Inc.), advising Waddell & Reed, Inc. how you want your shares redeemed to 
make the payments.  You have three choices: 
 
     First.  To get a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual payment of $50 
or more; 
 
     Second.  To get a monthly payment, which will change each month, equal to 
one-twelfth of a percentage of the value of the shares in the Account; you fix 
the percentage; or 
 
     Third.  To get a monthly or quarterly payment, which will change each 
month or quarter, by redeeming a number of shares fixed by you (at least five 
shares). 
 
     Shares are redeemed on the 20th day of the month in which the payment is 
to be made (or on the prior business day if the 20th is not a business day). 
Payments are made within five days of the redemption. 
 
     Retirement plan accounts may be subject to a fee imposed by the plan 
custodian for use of their service.

     If you have a share certificate for the shares you want to make available 
for the Service, you must enclose the certificate with the form initiating the 
Service. 
 
     The dividends and distributions on shares you have made available for the 
Service are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund of the same Class as 
that with respect to which they were paid.  All payments are made by redeeming 
shares, which may involve a gain or loss for tax purposes.  To the extent that 
payments exceed dividends and distributions, the number of shares you own will 
decrease.  When all of the shares in your account are redeemed, you will not 
receive any further payments.  Thus, the payments are not an annuity or an 
income or return on your investment. 
 
     You may, at any time, change the manner in which you have chosen to have 
shares redeemed, you can change to any one of the other choices originally 
available to you.  For example, if you started out with a $50 monthly payment, 
you could change to a $200 quarterly payment.  You can at any time redeem part 
or all of the shares in your account; if you redeem all of the shares, the 
Service is terminated.  The Fund can also terminate the Service by notifying 
you in writing. 
 
     After the end of each calendar year, information on shares redeemed will 
be sent to you to assist you in completing your Federal income tax return. 
 
 
Exchanges 
 
  Class A Share Exchanges 
 
     If you own the Class A shares of the Fund which you have acquired by 
exchange for Class A or corresponding shares of one or more other funds in the 
United Group, whose shares are sold with a sales charge, you may exchange these 
shares (and any shares received in payment of dividends on those shares) for 
Class A or corresponding shares of any of the other funds in the United Group. 
If you decide to make this change, you can get these shares without any 
additional sales charge. 
 
     In addition, you may specify a dollar amount of Class A shares of the Fund 
to be exchanged each month into Class A or corresponding shares of any other 
fund in the United Group.  The shares which you designate for exchange into any 
fund must be worth at least $100 or you must own Class A or corresponding 
shares of the fund in the United Group into which you want to exchange.  The 
minimum value of shares that you may designate for monthly exchange is $100, 
which may be allocated among funds in the United Group, provided each fund 
receives a value of at least $25.  A minimum daily balance of $750 is required 
in order to maintain such automatic exchange privileges. 
 
  Class B Share Exchanges 
 
     You may exchange Class B shares for Class B or corresponding shares of 
Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc. without charge.  You may also have a specific dollar 
amount of Class B or corresponding shares of any of the funds of Waddell & Reed 
Funds, Inc. redeemed and invested in Class B shares of the Fund.  The Class B 
or corresponding shares that you designate for exchange must be worth at least 
$100.  The exchange will be made at the net asset values next determined after 
receipt and acceptance of your written request.  When you exchange shares, the 
total shares you receive will have the same aggregate net asset value as the 
total shares you exchange. 
 
     The redemption of Class B shares of the Fund as part of an exchange is not 
subject to the deferred sales charge.  For purposes of computing the deferred 
sales charge, if any, applicable to the redemption of Class B or corresponding 
shares acquired in the exchange, those acquired shares are treated as having 
been purchased when the original redeemed shares were purchased.

  General Exchange Information 
 
     When you exchange shares, the total shares you receive will have the same 
aggregate net asset value as the shares you exchange.  The relative values are 
those next figured after your exchange request is received in good order. 
 
     These exchange rights and other exchange rights concerning other funds in 
the United Group or Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc. can in most instances be 
eliminated or modified at any time and any such exchange may not be accepted. 
 
 
Retirement Plans 
 
     As described in the Prospectus, your account may be set up as a funding 
vehicle for a retirement plan.  For individual taxpayers meeting certain 
requirements, Waddell & Reed, Inc. offers prototype documents for the following 
retirement plans.  All of these plans involve investment in shares of the Fund 
(or shares of certain other funds in the United Group or Waddell & Reed Funds, 
Inc.). 
 
     Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs).  Investors having earned income may 
set up a plan that is commonly called an IRA.  Under an IRA, an investor can 
contribute each year up to 100% of his or her earned income, up to an annual 
maximum of $2,000.  The annual maximum is $2,250 if an investor's spouse has 
earned income of $250 or less in a taxable year.  If an investor's spouse has 
at least $2,000 of earned income in a taxable year, the annual maximum is 
$4,000 ($2,000 for each spouse).  The contributions are deductible unless the 
investor (or, if married, either spouse) is an active participant in a 
qualified retirement plan or if, notwithstanding that the investor or one or 
both spouses so participate, their adjusted gross income does not exceed 
certain levels. 
 
     An investor may also use an IRA to receive a rollover contribution which 
is either (a) a direct rollover from an employer's plan or (b) a rollover of an 
eligible distribution paid to the investor from an employer's plan or another 
IRA.  To the extent a rollover contribution is made to an IRA, the distribution 
will not be subject to Federal income tax until distributed from the IRA.  A 
direct rollover generally applies to any distribution from an employer's plan 
(including a custodial account under Section 403(b)(7) of the Code, but not an 
IRA) other than certain periodic payments, required minimum distributions and 
other specified distributions.  In a direct rollover, the eligible rollover 
distribution is paid directly to the IRA, not to the investor.  If, instead, an 
investor receives payment of an eligible rollover distribution, all or a 
portion of that distribution generally may be rolled over to an IRA within 60 
days after receipt of the distribution.  Because mandatory Federal income tax 
withholding applies to any eligible rollover distribution which is not paid in 
a direct rollover, investors should consult their tax advisers or pension 
consultants as to the applicable tax rules.  If you already have an IRA, you 
may have the assets in that IRA transferred directly to an IRA offered by 
Waddell & Reed, Inc. 
 
     Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plans and Salary Reduction SEP (SARSEP) 
plans.  Employers can make contributions to SEP-IRAs established for employees. 
An employer may contribute up to 15% of compensation, not to exceed $22,500, 
per year for each employee. 
 
     Keogh Plans.  Keogh plans, which are available to self-employed 
individuals, are defined contribution plans that may be either a money purchase 
plan or a profit sharing plan.  As a general rule, an investor under a defined 
contribution Keogh plan can contribute each year up to 25% of his or her annual 
earned income, with an annual maximum of $30,000. 
 
     457 Plans.  If an investor is an employee of a state or local government 
or of certain types of charitable organizations, he or she may be able to enter 
into a deferred compensation arrangement in accordance with Section 457 of the 
Code. 
     TSAs - Custodial Accounts and Title I Plans.  If an investor is an 
employee of a public school system or of certain types of charitable 
organizations, he or she may be able to enter into a deferred compensation 
arrangement through a custodian account under Section 403(b) of the Code.  Some 
organizations have adopted Title I plans, which are funded by employer 
contributions in addition to employee deferrals. 
 
     401(k) Plans.  With a 401(k) plan, employees can make tax-deferred 
contributions into a plan to which the employer may also contribute, usually on 
a matching basis.  An employee may defer each year up to 25% of compensation, 
subject to certain annual maximums, which may be increased each year based on 
cost-of-living adjustments. 
 
More detailed information about these arrangements and applicable forms are 
available from Waddell & Reed, Inc.  These plans may involve complex tax 
questions as to premature distributions and other matters.  Investors should 
consult their tax adviser or pension consultant. 
 
Mandatory Redemption of Certain Small Accounts 
 
     The Fund has the right to compel the redemption of shares held under any 
account or any plan if the aggregate net asset value of such shares (taken at 
cost or value as the Board of Directors may determine) is less than $500.  The 
Board intends to compel redemptions of accounts, except for retirement plan 
accounts, in which the total net asset value is less than $250. Shareholders 
have 60 days from the date on which the net asset value falls below $250 to 
bring the net asset value above $250 in order to avoid mandatory redemption.  A 
shareholder may also avoid mandatory redemption by initiating a transaction 
which either increases or decreases the net asset value of the account.  A 
dividend payment does not constitute a shareholder initiated transaction for 
the purpose of avoiding mandatory redemption. 
 
 
                            DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS 
 
     The day-to-day affairs of the Fund are handled by outside organizations 
selected by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors has responsibility 
for establishing broad corporate policies for the Fund and for overseeing 
overall performance of the selected experts.  It has the benefit of advice and 
reports from independent counsel and independent auditors. 
 
     The principal occupation during at least the past five years of each 
Director and officer is given below.  Each of the persons listed through and 
including Mr. Wright is a member of the Fund's Board of Directors.  The other 
persons are officers but not Board members.  For purposes of this section, the 
term "Fund Complex" includes each of the registered investment companies in the 
United Group of Mutual Funds, Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc., TMK/United Funds, 
Inc., Torchmark Government Securities Fund, Inc. and Torchmark Insured Tax-Free

     As of the date of this SAI, five of the Fund's Directors may be deemed to 
be "interested persons" as defined in the 1940 Act of its underwriter, Waddell 
& Reed, Inc., or of WRIMCO.  The Directors who may be deemed to be interested 
persons are indicated as such by an asterisk. 
 
     The Board of Directors has created an honorary position of Director 
Emeritus, which position a director may elect after resignation from the Board 
provided the director has attained the age of 75 and has served as a director 
of the funds in the United Group for a total of at least five years.  A 
Director Emeritus receives fees in recognition of his past services whether or 
not services are rendered in his capacity as Director Emeritus, but he has no 
authority or responsibility with respect to management of the Fund.  Currently, 
no person serves as Director Emeritus. 
 
     The funds in the United Group (with the exception of United Asset Strategy 
Fund, Inc.), TMK/United Funds, Inc. and Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc. pay to each 
Director a total of $40,000 per year, plus $1,000 for each meeting of the Board 
of Directors attended (prior to January 1, 1995, the fee was $500 for each 
meeting of the Board of Directors attended) and $500 for each committee meeting 
attended which is not in conjunction with a Board of Directors' meeting, other 
than Directors who are affiliates of Waddell & Reed, Inc.  The fees to the 
Directors who receive them are divided among the funds in the United Group 
(with the exception of United Asset Strategy Fund, Inc.), TMK/United Funds, 
Inc. and Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc. based on their relative size.  During the 
Fund's fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, the Fund's Directors received the 
following fees for service as a director:

Shareholdings 
 
     As of August 31, 1995, all of the Fund's Directors and officers as a group 
owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.  As of such date no 
person owned of record or was known by the Fund to own beneficially 5% or more 
of the Fund's outstanding shares. 
 
 
                           PAYMENTS TO SHAREHOLDERS 
 
 
General 
 
     There are two sources for the payments the Fund makes to you as a 
shareholder of a Class of shares of the Fund, other than payments when you 
redeem your shares.  The first source is the Fund's net investment income, 
which is derived from the interest and earned discount on the securities it 
holds, less expenses (which will vary by Class) and amortization of any 
premium.  The second source is realized capital gains, which are derived from 
the proceeds received from the sale of securities at a price higher than the 
Fund's tax basis (usually cost) in such securities; these gains are expected to 
be short-term capital gains.  Payments from either net investment income or net 
short-term capital gains are called dividends. 
 
     On each day, including a Saturday, Sunday or other holiday, a dividend of 
all of the net investment income and realized net capital gains of a Class will 
be declared.  The shares whose holders are entitled to receive dividends are 
those held on the Fund's books at the close of business on the prior day. 
Thus, dividends are paid on shares starting on the day after they are issued 
and on shares the day they are redeemed.  See "How to Open An Account" for 
information on when shares are issued. 
 
     Under the procedures that the Fund's Board of Directors has adopted 
relating to "amortized cost" valuation, the calculation of the daily dividend 
of a Class will change from that indicated above under certain circumstances. 
If on any day there is a deviation of .3 of 1% or more between the net asset 
value of a share of a Class of the Fund computed on the amortized cost basis 
and that computed on an available market price basis, the amount of the 
deviation will be added to or subtracted from the dividend for that Class for 
that day if necessary to reduce the per-share value to within .3 of 1% of 
$1.00.

     If on any day there is insufficient net income to absorb any such 
reduction, the Fund's Board of Directors would be required under Rule 2a-7 to 
consider taking other action if the deviation after eliminating the dividend 
for that day exceeds one-half of 1%.  See "Determination of Offering Price." 
One of the actions that the Board of Directors might take could be the 
elimination or reduction of dividends for more than one day. 
 
 
Choices You Have on Your Dividends and Distributions 
 
     On your application form, you can give instructions that (i) you want cash 
for your dividends and distributions, (ii) you want your dividends and 
distributions reinvested in shares of the Fund of the same Class as that with 
respect to which they were paid, or (iii) you want cash for your dividends and 
want your distributions reinvested in shares of the Fund of the same Class as 
that with respect to which they were paid.  You can change your instructions at 
any time.  If you give no instructions, your dividends and distributions (if 
any) will be reinvested in shares of the Fund of the same Class as that with 
respect to which they were paid.  All reinvestments are at net asset value. 
The net asset value used for this purpose is that computed as of the payment 
date for the dividend, although this could be changed by the Board of 
Directors. 
 
     Even if you get dividends and distributions in cash, you can thereafter 
reinvest them (or distributions only) in shares of the Fund of the same Class 
as that with respect to which they were paid at net asset value next determined 
after receipt by Waddell & Reed, Inc., of the amount clearly identified as a 
reinvestment. The reinvestment must be within 45 days after the payment. 
 
 
                                     TAXES 
 
 
General 
 
     In order to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment 
company ("RIC") under the Code, the Fund must distribute to its shareholders 
for each taxable year at least 90% of its investment company taxable income 
(consisting generally of net investment income, net short-term capital gains 
and net gains from certain foreign currency transactions) and must meet several 
additional requirements.  These requirements include the following: (1) the 
Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income each taxable year from 
dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans and gains from 
the sale or other disposition of securities or foreign currencies, or other 
income (including gains from options, futures contracts or forward contracts) 
derived with respect to its business of investing in securities or those 
currencies ("Income Requirement"); (2) the Fund must derive less than 30% of 
its gross income each taxable year from the sale or other disposition of 
securities, or any of the following, that were held for less than three months 
- -- (i) options, futures contracts or forward contracts or (ii) foreign 
currencies (or options, futures contracts or forward contracts thereon) that 
are not directly related to the Fund's principal business of investing in 
securities (or in options and futures contracts with respect to securities) 
("Short-Short Limitation"); (3) at the close of each quarter of the Fund's 
taxable year, at least 50% of the value of its total assets must be represented 
by cash and cash items, Government Securities, securities of other RICs and 
other securities that are limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount 
that does not exceed 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets and that does 
not represent more than 10% of the issuer's outstanding voting securities; and 
(4) at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, not more than 25% 
of the value of its total assets may be invested in securities (other than 
Government Securities or the securities of other RICs) of any one issuer. 
 
     The Fund will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax ("Excise Tax") 
to the extent it fails to distribute by the end of any calendar 
yearsubstantially all of its ordinary income for that year and capital gain net 
income for the one-year period ending on October 31 of that year, plus certain 
other amounts.  It is the Fund's policy to make sufficient distributions each 
year to avoid imposition of the Excise Tax. 
 
 
                     PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE 
 
     One of the duties undertaken by WRIMCO pursuant to the Management 
Agreement is to arrange the purchase and sale of securities for the portfolio 
of the Fund.  Purchases are made directly from issuers or from underwriters, 
dealers or banks.  Purchases from underwriters include a commission or 
concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter.  Purchases from dealers will 
include the spread between the bid and the asked price.  Brokerage commissions 
are paid primarily for effecting transactions in securities traded on an 
exchange and otherwise only if it appears likely that a better price or 
execution can be obtained.  The Fund has not effected transactions through 
brokers and does not anticipate doing so.  The individual who manages the Fund 
may manage other advisory accounts with similar investment objectives.  It can 
be anticipated that the manager will frequently place concurrent orders for all 
or most accounts for which the manager has responsibility.  Transactions 
effected pursuant to such combined orders are averaged as to price and 
allocated in accordance with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for 
each fund or advisory account. 
 
     To effect the portfolio transactions of the Fund, WRIMCO is authorized to 
engage brokers-dealers ("brokers") which, in its best judgment based on all 
relevant factors, will implement the policy of the Fund to achieve "best 
execution" (prompt and reliable execution at the best price obtainable) for 
reasonable and competitive commissions.  WRIMCO is expected to allocate orders 
to brokers or dealers consistent with the interests and policies of the Fund. 
Subject to review by the Board of Directors, such policies include the 
selection of brokers or dealers which provide research services and other 
services including pricing or quotation services directly or through others 
("services").  If the execution and price offered by more than one dealer are 
comparable, the order may be allocated to a dealer which has provided such 
services considered by WRIMCO to be useful or desirable for its investment 
management of the Fund and/or the other funds and accounts over which WRIMCO or 
its affiliates have investment discretion. 
 
     Subject to the foregoing considerations, WRIMCO may also consider the 
willingness of particular brokers and dealers to sell shares of the Fund and 
other funds managed by WRIMCO and its affiliates as a factor in its selection. 
No allocation of brokerage or principal business is made to provide any other 
benefits to WRIMCO or its affiliates. 
 
     The investment research provided by a particular broker may be useful only 
to one or more of the other advisory accounts of WRIMCO and its affiliates and 
investment research received for the commissions of those other accounts may be 
useful both to the Fund and one or more of such other accounts.  To the extent 
that electronic or other products provided by such brokers to assist WRIMCO in 
making investment management decisions are used for administration or other 
non-research purposes, a reasonable allocation of the cost of the product 
attributable to its non-research use is made by WRIMCO. 
 
     Such investment research (which may be supplied by a third party at the 
instance of a broker or dealer) includes information on particular companies 
and industries as well as market, economic or institutional activity areas.  It 
serves to broaden the scope and supplement the research activities of WRIMCO; 
serves to make available additional views for consideration and comparisons; 
and enables WRIMCO to obtain market information on the price of securities held 
in the Fund's portfolio or being considered for purchase. 
 
     In placing transactions for the Fund's portfolio, WRIMCO may consider 
sales of shares of the Fund and other funds managed by WRIMCO and its 
affiliates in the United Group as a factor in the selection of brokers 
toexecute portfolio transactions.  WRIMCO intends to allocate brokerage on the 
basis of this factor only if the sale is $2 million or more and there is no 
sales charge.  This results in the consideration only of sales which by their 
nature would not ordinarily be made by Waddell & Reed, Inc.'s direct sales 
force and is done in order to prevent the direct sales force from being 
disadvantaged by the fact that it cannot participate in the allocation of Fund 
orders for portfolio securities.  As of June 30, 1995, the Fund owned Merrill 
Lynch and Co., Inc.debt securities in the aggregate amount of $4,984,431. 
Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. is a regular broker of the Fund. 
 
     The Fund, WRIMCO and Waddell & Reed, Inc. have adopted a Code of Ethics 
which imposes restrictions on the personal investment activities of their 
employees, officers and interested directors. 
 
 
Buying and Selling With Other Funds 
 
     The Fund and one or more of the other funds in the United Group, 
TMK/United Funds, Inc., Waddell & Reed Funds, Inc., Torchmark Government 
Securities Fund, Inc. and Torchmark Insured Tax-Free Fund, Inc. or accounts 
over which Waddell & Reed Asset Management Company exercises investment 
discretion frequently buy or sell the same securities at the same time.  If 
this happens, the amount of each purchase or sale is divided.  This is done on 
the basis of the amount of securities each fund or account wanted to buy or 
sell.  Sharing in large transactions could affect the price the Fund pays or 
receives or the amount it buys or sells.  However, sometimes a better 
negotiated commission is available. 
 
 
                               OTHER INFORMATION 
 
 
The Shares of the Fund 
 
     The Fund offers two Classes of shares:  Class A and Class B.  Prior to 
September 5, 1995, the Fund offered only one Class of shares to the public. 
Shares outstanding on that date were designated as Class A shares.  Each Class 
represents interest in the same assets of the Fund and differ as follows:  each 
Class of shares has exclusive voting rights on matters pertaining to matters 
appropriately limited to that Class; Class B shares are subject to a contingent 
deferred sales charge and to an ongoing distribution and service fee; each 
Class may bear differing amounts of certain Class-specific expenses; and each 
Class has a separate exchange privilege.  The Fund does not anticipate that 
there will be any conflicts between the interests of holders of the different 
Classes of shares of the Fund by virtue of those Classes.  On an ongoing basis, 
the Board of Directors will consider whether any such conflict exists and, if 
so, take appropriate action.  Each share of the Fund is entitled to equal 
voting, dividend, liquidation and redemption rights, except that due to the 
differing expenses borne by the two Classes, dividends and liquidation proceeds 
of Class B shares are expected to be lower than for Class A shares of the Fund. 
Each fractional share of a Class has the same rights, in proportion, as a full 
share of that Class.

                                  APPENDIX A 
 
     The following are descriptions of some of the ratings of securities which 
the Fund may use.  The Fund may also use ratings provided by other nationally 
recognized statistical rating organizations in determining the securities 
eligible for investment. 
 
                          DESCRIPTION OF BOND RATINGS 
 
     Standard & Poor's Ratings Group.  A Standard & Poor's ("S&P") corporate or 
municipal bond rating is a current assessment of the creditworthiness of an 
obligor with respect to a specific obligation.  This assessment of 
creditworthiness may take into consideration obligors such as guarantors, 
insurers or lessees. 
 
     The debt rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold a 
security, inasmuch as it does not comment as to market price or suitability for 
a particular investor. 
 
     The ratings are based on current information furnished to S&P by the 
issuer or obtained by S&P from other sources it considers reliable.  S&P does 
not perform an audit in connection with any rating and may, on occasion, rely 
on unaudited financial information.  The ratings may be changed, suspended or 
withdrawn as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, such information, or 
based on other circumstances. 
 
     The ratings are based, in varying degrees, on the following 
considerations: 
 
     1.   Likelihood of default -- capacity and willingness of the obligor as 
          to the timely payment of interest and repayment of principal in 
          accordance with the terms of the obligation; 
 
     2.   Nature of and provisions of the obligation; 
 
     3.   Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in 
          the event of bankruptcy, reorganization or other arrangement under 
          the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights. 
 
     The top three rating categories of S&P are described below: 
 
     AAA -- Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P.  Capacity to 
pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong. 
 
     AA -- Debt rated AA also qualifies as high quality debt.  Capacity to pay 
interest and repay principal is very strong, and debt rated AA differs from AAA 
issues only in small degree. 
 
     A -- Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay 
principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of 
changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated 
categories. 
 
     Plus (+) or Minus (-) -- To provide more detailed indications of credit 
quality, the ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus 
or minus sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories. 
 
     NR -- Indicates that no public rating has been requested, that there is 
insufficient information on which to base a rating, or that S&P does not rate a 
particular type of obligation as a matter of policy. 
 
     Debt Obligations of issuers outside the United States and its territories 
are rated on the same basis as domestic corporate and municipal issues.  The 
ratings measure the creditworthiness of the obligor but do not take into 
account currency exchange and related uncertainties.

     Moody's Investors Service, Inc.  A brief description of the applicable 
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("MIS") rating symbols and their meanings 
follows: 
 
     Aaa -- Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. 
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to 
as "gilt edge".  Interest payments are protected by a large or by an 
exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure.  While the various 
protective elements are likely to change such changes as can be visualized are 
most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues. 
 
     Aa -- Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all 
standards.  Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known 
as high grade bonds.  They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins 
of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuations of 
protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements 
present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa 
securities. 
 
     A -- Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes 
and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations.  Factors giving 
security to principal and interest are considered adequate, but elements may be 
present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future. 
 
                          DESCRIPTION OF NOTE RATINGS 
 
     Standard and Poor's Rating's Group.  A S&P note rating reflects the 
liquidity factors and market access risks unique to notes.  Notes maturing in 3 
years or less will likely receive a note rating.  Notes maturing beyond 3 years 
will most likely receive a long-term debt rating.  The following criteria will 
be used in making that assessment. 
 
   --Amortization schedule (the larger the final maturity relative to other 
     maturities, the more likely the issue is to be treated as a note). 
   --Source of Payment (the more the issue depends on the market for its 
     refinancing, the more likely it is to be treated as a note.) 
 
     The note rating symbols and definitions are as follows: 
 
     SP-1 Strong capacity to pay principal and interest.  Issues determined to 
         possess very strong characteristics are given a plus (+) designation. 
     SP-2 Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some 
         vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term 
         of the notes. 
     SP-3 Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest. 
 
     Moody's Investors Service, Inc.  MIS ratings for state and municipal 
short-term obligations will be designated Moody's Investment Grade (MIG).  This 
distinction is in recognition of the differences between short-term credit risk 
and long-term risk.  Factors affecting the liquidity of the borrower are 
uppermost in importance in short-term borrowing, while various factors of major 
importance in bond risk are of lesser importance over the short run.  Rating 
symbols and their meanings follow: 
 
     MIG 1 -- This designation denotes best quality.  There is present strong 
protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or 
demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing. 
 
     MIG 2 -- This designation denotes high quality.  Margins of protection are 
ample although not so large as in the preceding group. 
 
     MIG 3 -- This designation denotes favorable quality.  All security 
elements are accounted for but this is lacking the undeniable strength of the 
preceding grades.  Liquidity and cash flow protection may be narrow and market 
access for refinancing is likely to be less well established.

     MIG 4 -- This designation denotes adequate quality.  Protection commonly 
regarded as required of an investment security is present and although not 
distinctly or predominantly speculative, there is specific risk. 
 
                    DESCRIPTION OF COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS 
 
     Standard & Poor's Ratings Group commercial paper rating is a current 
assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of debt considered short-term in 
the relevant market.  Ratings are graded into several categories, ranging from 
A-1 for the highest quality obligations to D for the lowest.  Issuers rated A 
are further referred to by use of numbers 1, 2 and 3 to indicate the relative 
degree of safety.  Issues assigned an A rating (the highest rating) are 
regarded as having the greatest capacity for timely payment.  An A-1 
designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is 
strong.  Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety 
characteristics are denoted with a plus sign (+) designation.  An A-2 rating 
indicates that capacity for timely payment is satisfactory; however, the 
relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1. 
 
     Moody's Investors Service, Inc. commercial paper ratings are opinions of 
the ability of issuers to repay punctually promissory obligations not having an 
original maturity in excess of nine months.  MIS employs the designations of 
Prime 1, Prime 2 and Prime 3, all judged to be investment grade, to indicate 
the relative repayment capacity of rated issuers.  Issuers rated Prime 1 have a 
superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations and 
repayment capacity will normally be evidenced by (1) lending market positions 
in well established industries; (2) high rates of return on Funds employed; (3) 
conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and ample 
asset protection; (4) broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial 
charges and high internal cash generation; and (5) well established access to a 
range of financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.  Issuers 
rated Prime 2 also have a strong capacity for repayment of short-term 
promissory obligations as will normally be evidenced by many of the 
characteristics described above for Prime 1 issuers, but to a lesser degree. 
Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to 
variation; capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more 
affected by external conditions; and ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

UNITED CASH MANAGEMENT, INC. 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
JUNE 30, 1995 
 
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 $12.1 
billion of combined net assets at June 30, 1995) 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

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, 1995, 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, 1995 by correspondence with the 
custodian, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
