                                                              September 15, 1995
 
Dear Shareholder,
 
During  the  year ended  July 31,  1995, the  pace of  U.S. economic  growth was
perceived to have  slowed in response  to the Federal  Reserve Board's  repeated
increases  in the benchmark Federal Funds rate, the rate banks charge each other
for overnight  borrowing. After  seven short-term  interest rate  hikes  between
February  1994 and February  1995, the Federal Reserve  Board raised the Federal
Funds rate to 6.0%, and effectively  doubled short-term rates in twelve  months.
On  July 6, 1995,  the Federal Reserve  cut the benchmark  Federal Funds rate by
0.25%. This decrease, the first in nearly three years, signals that the  Federal
Reserve  Board  believes  that  inflationary  pressures  have  eased  enough  to
accommodate  an  adjustment  in  monetary  conditions  from  restrictive  toward
neutral.
 
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
 
News concerning the economy during the year ended July 31, 1995 was dominated by
debate  over whether inflation was likely  to become a threat, discussions about
the dismal performance  of the dollar  and details of  efforts in Washington  to
implement  a plan to balance the budget. Interest rates trended downward, as the
perception that the Federal Reserve would win its battle with inflation and that
the next  policy action  would  be to  lower  short-term interest  rates  became
widespread.  The U.S. bond and stock markets  rallied in the first half of 1995,
and strength  in  corporate  earnings pushed  stock  prices  higher.  Employment
reports   indicated  a   slowing  economy,  with   consumer  spending  declining
significantly from  1994 and  consumer  credit reports  showing high  ratios  of
installment  debt to  disposable income. Side  effects of  higher interest rates
lingered, however. Markets for  new and existing homes  were sluggish until  the
close  of  the  twelve-month period,  despite  historically  attractive mortgage
rates. Although  the  U.S. economy  appears  to have  been  flat in  the  second
quarter,  the second half of  1995 should show signs  of further, albeit slower,
growth.
 
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
 
Net assets  of  PaineWebber/Kidder,  Peabody  Cash  Reserve  Fund  (the  'Fund')
totalled  $1.4 billion  as of July  31, 1995.  The Fund's current  yield for the
seven-day period ended July 31, 1995  was 5.325%. In anticipation of a  possible
Federal  Reserve Board  action, the Fund  maintained a  neutral weighted average
maturity during the year ended July 31, 1995.
 
Going forward, the  Fund will maintain  a neutral weighted  average maturity  as
short-term  rates find stability. On July  31, 1995, the Fund's weighted average
maturity was 47  days. The Federal  Reserve Board appears  to have engineered  a
soft  landing and it seems as though the next short-term interest rate move will
be another decrease  in the Federal  Funds rate. However,  if inflation  becomes
problematic,  further increases in short-term  interest rates could be possible.
Investment decisions in the Fund will continue to be dominated by credit quality
and liquidity. Although we are interested in maintaining higher yields, we  will
not do so by sacrificing the Fund's emphasis on security, quality and liquidity.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     PaineWebber/Kidder,  Peabody  Cash  Reserve  Fund,  Inc.  (the  'Fund') was
organized under the laws of Maryland on May 31, 1979 and is registered with  the
Securities  and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended ('1940 Act'), as an open-end, diversified management investment company.
 
     Valuation and  Accounting  for Investments  --  Investments are  valued  at
amortized  cost  which approximates  market  value. Investment  transactions are
recorded on  trade  date. Interest  income  is  recorded on  an  accrual  basis.
Premiums  paid on purchases of portfolio  securities are amortized and discounts
are accreted  as adjustments  to  interest income  and  the identified  cost  of
securities.  Realized gains and losses from security transactions are calculated
using the identified cost method.
 
     The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to  meet
their  obligations  may be  affected by  economic developments,  including those
particular to a specific industry or region.
 
     Repurchase Agreements  --  The Fund's  custodian  takes possession  of  the
collateral  pledged  for investments  in  repurchase agreements.  The underlying
collateral is valued daily on a  mark-to-market basis to ensure that the  value,
including  accrued interest, is at  least equal to the  repurchase price. In the
event of default  of the obligation  to repurchase,  the Fund has  the right  to
liquidate  the  collateral  and  apply  the  proceeds  in  satisfaction  of  the
obligation. Under certain circumstances, in  the event of default or  bankruptcy
by  the  other  party to  the  agreement,  realization and/or  retention  of the
collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
 
     Federal Tax Status  -- The Fund  intends to distribute  all of its  taxable
income  and to comply with  the other requirements of  the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to  regulated investment  companies.  Accordingly, no  provision  for
federal  income  taxes is  required. In  addition,  by distributing  during each
calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains  and
certain  other amounts, if any, the Fund intends  not to be subject to a Federal
excise tax.
 
     In accordance with U.S. Treasury regulations, the Fund has elected to defer
$2,359 of  net realized  capital losses  arising after  October 31,  1994.  Such
losses are treated, for tax purposes, as arising on August 1, 1995.
 
     At  July 31, 1995, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of $15,369.
The loss carryforward is available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the
regulations, of  future net  realized  capital gains,  and will  expire  between
fiscal years 2002 and 2003.
 
     Dividends  --  The  Fund  declares  dividends on  a  daily  basis  from net
investment income. Such dividends are normally paid monthly. Net capital  gains,
if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. To the extent that the Fund
earns net realized capital gains which can be offset by capital loss carryovers,
if any, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 
     At  a special meeting of shareholders  held on April 13, 1995, shareholders
approved  the  appointment  of   PaineWebber  Incorporated  ('PaineWebber')   as
investment  adviser and  administrator of the  Fund and  Mitchell Hutchins Asset
Management  Inc.   ('Mitchell  Hutchins')   as   the  Fund's   sub-adviser   and
sub-administrator.  The  Fund  pays the  same  fee for  investment  advisory and
administration services  to PaineWebber  as previously  paid to  Kidder  Peabody
Asset   Management,  Inc.  ('KPAM'),  the   Fund's  former  investment  adviser.
PaineWebber (not the  Fund) pays Mitchell  Hutchins a fee  for sub-advisory  and
sub-administration  services at the  annual rate of  20% of the  fee received by
PaineWebber from the Fund. PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins continue to  manage
the  Fund  in  accordance with  the  Fund's investment  objective,  policies and
restrictions as  stated in  the Prospectus.  At  July 31,  1995, the  Fund  owed
PaineWebber $577,979 in investment advisory and administration fees.
 
     Investment advisory functions for the Fund were previously transferred from
KPAM  to Mitchell Hutchins on an interim basis  as a result of an asset purchase
transaction by  and  among  Kidder,  Peabody Group  Inc.,  its  parent,  General
Electric  Company, and Paine  Webber Group Inc. The  interim period commenced on
January 30, 1995 and ended April 13, 1995.
 
     The  Fund's   current  investment   adviser  and   administrator   receives
compensation  from  the  Fund,  computed  daily  and  paid  on  a  monthly basis
equivalent to 0.500%  of the  first $750 million  of average  daily net  assets;
0.475%  of the next $250 million; 0.450% of the next $250 million; 0.425% of the
next $250 million; and 0.400% of assets in excess of $1.5 billion.
 
     In compliance with applicable state securities laws, the Fund's  investment
adviser  and administrator will reimburse the Fund for those operating expenses,
exclusive  of   taxes,  interest,   brokerage   fees,  distribution   fees   and
extraordinary  expenses, which exceed applicable limitations in any fiscal year.
Currently, the most restrictive limitation is  2.5% on the first $30 million  of
average  daily net assets, 2.0%  of the next $70 million  and 1.5% of any excess
over $100 million.  For the  year ended July  31, 1995,  no reimbursements  were
required pursuant to the above limitation.
 
DISTRIBUTION PLAN
 
     PaineWebber  has been  serving as the  exclusive distributor  of the Fund's
shares. For  its  services,  which  include  payment  of  sales  commissions  to
registered  representatives  and  various other  promotional  and  sales related
expenses, it receives from  the Fund a distribution  fee accrued daily and  paid
monthly  at the rate of 0.12% per annum  of the Fund's average daily net assets,
which is at the same rate paid to the former distributor. At July 31, 1995,  the
Fund owed PaineWebber $145,208 for such services.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
PaineWebber/Kidder, Peabody Cash Reserve Fund, Inc.
 
     We   have   audited   the   accompanying  statement   of   net   assets  of
PaineWebber/Kidder, Peabody Cash Reserve Fund, Inc. as of July 31, 1995, and the
related statements  of  operations and  changes  in net  assets,  and  financial
highlights  for the  year then ended.  These financial  statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of  the Fund's management. Our  responsibility
is  to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our  audit. The statement  of operations  for the year  ended July  31,
1994,  the statement of changes in  net assets for each of  the two years in the
period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the
period then ended were audited by other auditors whose report dated September 9,
1994  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  those  statements  and  financial
highlights.
 
     We  have conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to  obtain
reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on  a
test  basis, evidence  supporting the amounts  and disclosures  in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned at July 31,
1995, by correspondence with the custodian  and brokers. An audit also  includes
assessing  the  accounting principles  used  and significant  estimates  made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement  presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In  our  opinion, the  financial 1995  statements and  financial highlights
referred to above and  audited by us present  fairly, in all material  respects,
the financial position of PaineWebber/Kidder, Peabody Cash Reserve Fund, Inc. at
July 31, 1995, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and
financial  highlights  for  the year  then  ended in  conformity  with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Tax Information
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
     We  are required by Subchapter  M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, to advise you within  60 days of the Fund's  fiscal year end (July  31,
1995)  as to  the federal tax  status of distributions  received by shareholders
during such  fiscal year.  Accordingly, we  are  advising you  that all  of  the
distributions  paid  during  the  fiscal  year  were  federally-exempt  interest
dividends, none of which qualifies for the dividend received deduction available
to corporate shareholders. Since the Fund  did not invest in any security  which
paid  interest subject  to the  federal alternative  minimum tax  for individual
taxpayers during its fiscal year,  none of the dividends  paid by the Fund  were
subject to such tax.
 
     Because   the  Fund's  fiscal  year  is  not  the  calendar  year,  another
notification will be sent in respect of calendar 1995. The second  notification,
which  reflects  any amounts  to be  used  by calendar  year taxpayers  on their
federal income tax returns, will be made  in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV  and
will  be mailed in January  1996. Shareholders are advised  to consult their own
tax advisers with  respect to the  tax consequences of  their investment in  the
Fund.
