PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The year so far has been an unsettling time for bond investors. The bond
market declined after the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest
rates from February through May. These rate hikes caused bond yields to
rise and bond prices to fall. The board raised the rate again in August,
and while nobody knows whether rates will continue to go up, this may be a
good time to review the effect rising rates have on your bond fund
investment, and consider how well your current bond fund holdings match
your investment goals.
Most investors choose bond funds to generate income and to help diversify
their investment portfolios. Despite the recent market downturn, bond
mutual funds can still satisfy these needs. Where investors have felt the
negative effect
of rising rates is in the market value of their investment, which has
eroded as bond prices have fallen. It's important to remember, however,
that this loss in principal is only "on paper" until you sell your shares.
That's why your investing time horizon is key.
If your time horizon is short - one year or less - you may want to consider
shifting all or part of your bond fund investment into short-term
investments.
If you don't need your money within the next year, staying in your bond
fund may be the appropriate strategy for you. The longer your investing
time frame, the better your chances of retaining your principal investment
through periods of rising AND falling rates. For example, if you plan to
use your money in one to two years, a short-term bond fund may be the right
choice. If your time frame is two to four years, a fund with an
intermediate length average maturity may be best.
If you have a longer-term goal - say a child's college education that's 10
years away - you may be willing to ride out the bond market's peaks and
valleys in exchange for the higher potential returns of a longer-term fund.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up
a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account Builder.SM
Periodic investment plans do not, of course, assure a profit, nor do they
protect against a loss in a declining market.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value), and the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.
You can also look at the fund's income. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain fund expenses during the periods shown, the total returns,
dividends and yields would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1994 PAST 1 LIFE OF
YEAR FUND
Spartan Intermediate Municipal 0.51% 5.75%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index 0.14% n/a
Average Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund 0.95% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.90% 3.47%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year or since the fund started on
April 26, 1993. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. You can compare
these figures to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad measure of the municipal bond market. To measure how the
fund stacked up against its peers, you can look at the average intermediate
municipal bond fund, which reflects the performance of 93 similar funds
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. Both benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's performance to
the Consumer Price Index helps show how your fund did compared to
inflation. (The CPI returns begin on the month end closest to the fund's
start date).

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan
Intermediate Municipal Fund on April 30, 1993, shortly after the fund
started. As the chart shows, by August 31, 1994, the value of your
investment with dividends reinvested would have grown to $10,549 - a 5.49%
increase on your initial investment. This assumes you still owned the fund
on August 31, 1994, and therefore does not include the effect of the $5
account closeout fee. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested,
the same $10,000 would have grown to $10,469 - a 4.69% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund
that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

DIVIDEND returns and capital appreciation returns are both part of a bond
fund's total return. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid
by
the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by
the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested. Capital appreciation and total returns include the effect of
the $5 account closeout fee.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $9.82 over
the past month, $9.82 over the past six months and $10.10 over the past
year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the
yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 36% federal tax bracket. If the advisor had not reimbursed certain
portfolio expenses during the period shown, the yield and tax-equivalent
yield would have been 5.10% and 7.97%, respectively.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Rising interest rates and inflation
concerns sent U.S. bond prices
sharply lower during the first eight
months of 1994. Yields rose -
and prices fell - on taxable and
tax-free bonds alike. The
heaviest investor selling occurred
from February through May. That
coincided with the Federal
Reserve Board's raising of
short-term interest rates. The Fed
was hoping to head off future
inflation growth that might be
triggered by the improving U.S.
economy. However, bond
investors reacted strongly to any
threat of inflation because
inflation deteriorates the value of
their fixed-rate interest payments.
Two influences roughly offset
each other in the municipal bond
market. First, investor demand
fell due to inflation worries, which
dampened prices. However, the
supply of tax-free bonds fell
sharply as well. The ability of
states, cities and public agencies
to refinance outstanding debt at
lower, more attractive rates was
limited amid a rising interest rate
environment. For the 12 months
ended August 31, 1994, the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad measure of the
tax-free market - had a total
return of 0.14%. By comparison,
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index - a proxy of
investment-grade taxable bonds
- - returned -1.51% during the
same period. Most overseas
bond markets took their cue from
the sell-off in the U.S. The
Salomon Brothers World
Government Bond Index -
which includes U.S. issues -
rose 2.28% for the 12 months.
The J.P. Morgan Emerging
Markets Bond Index returned
1.42%.
An interview with David Murphy, Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Intermediate Municipal Fund
Q. DAVID, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. With interest rates rising during the past six months it has been a
difficult period for both the municipal market and the fund. For the six
months ended August 31, 1994, the fund had a total return of -0.96%. That
lagged the average intermediate municipal bond fund's return of -0.28% for
the same period, according to Lipper Analytical Services. For the year
ended August 31, 1994, the fund returned 0.51%, compared to the average
fund's return of 0.95%, again according to Lipper.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY?
A. Toward the end of 1993, I had structured the fund to take advantage of
what I believed would be a relatively stable interest rate environment. I
did not anticipate how high rates would actually climb. To help do that, I
had a longer-than-average duration of 7.6 years. Duration is a measure of a
fund's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the fund's
duration, the more sensitive its price is when interest rates rise or fall.
Because of the fund's long duration, it underperformed when interest rates
rose.
Q. ONCE RATES STARTED RISING, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST REDUCE THE FUND'S
DURATION AND MAKE THE FUND LESS SENSITIVE TO RISING RATES?
A. I did reduce the duration by about 8%. But, I kept the fund's core
structure in place because my long-term view is that inflation will stay
low and we'll see a return to lower long-term interest rates within the
next 18 months. Obviously, I have been challenged in my thinking, but I
believe maintaining this structure will be appropriate for the foreseeable
future. However, I used bond futures to modestly help offset the fund's
volatility.
Q. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK RECENTLY ABOUT DERIVATIVES. AREN'T FUTURES
ONE TYPE OF DERIVATIVE AND DO YOU USE OTHERS?
A. Yes, a futures contract is one type of financial derivative - meaning
its market value is derived from a security or market index. We've used
futures and options in our municipal bond funds for years. I've recently
used what's known as an inverse floater - whose yield rises as short-term
rates fall, and vice versa. These inverse floaters act like longer-term
bonds, effectively increasing the fund's duration, which is good in a
falling interest rate environment, but can hurt the fund when interest
rates rise. During the past six months, inverse floaters made up less than
5% of the fund's total investments. By using these various derivatives, I
achieve increased flexibility in managing the fund's overall sensitivity to
changes in interest rates, and hopefully, can achieve higher levels of
income.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE BRIGHT SPOTS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS FOR THE FUND?
A. One positive was the fund's stake in New York City bonds, which
benefited from an improving economy and rising sales taxes. I've recently
cut back the fund's stake in New York, however, because I wanted to lock in
profits and look for opportunities elsewhere. Another positive was student
loan bonds, which can offer as much as 0.75% more in yield than similarly
rated bonds. That's because they carry the risk of being prepaid. However,
now that interest rates have risen, there isn't much of an incentive for
borrowers to pay these loans off early. On the other hand, the fund's 4.5%
stake in Denver Airport bonds didn't fare very well. Delays in the opening
of the new airport, caused by the malfunctioning baggage handling system,
caused these bonds to be downgraded and their prices generally fell. But I
continue to hold these bonds because I think that despite the delays, the
new airport will open in February 1995 and be one of the most efficient
airports in the nation.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE
MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET?
A. I'm optimistic that the worst is behind the municipal bond market,
although there could be some continued volatility. In my view, the
municipal market may have reached a bottom after the Fed's 0.50% interest
rate hike in August. If that view proves to be correct, some fundamental
factors could help drive prices higher. First, the supply of new municipals
issued in 1994 is roughly half of what it was in 1993. Second, I believe
that demand for municipal bonds could increase over the next year or so,
once the market settles. If supply and demand follow these trends,
municipal bond prices could rise.

DAVID MURPHY'S STRATEGY:
"One of my primary goals is to
generate a high level of
income for the fund. Using
Fidelity's research resources,
I try to identify bonds that will
pay a higher-than-average
income but carry little added
risk. Student loan bonds, for
example, are generally rated
A or higher by Moody's
Investors Service. These are
still investment grade ratings.
These bonds can pay 0.50%
to 0.75% more in yield than
similarly rated bonds, but
carry the risk of being prepaid.
Our research analysts project
these prepayments and
identify the student loan
bonds that are most
attractive.
(solid bullet) General obligation (GO)
bonds - which are backed by
the taxing power of the issuer
- - made up the fund's second
largest sector concentration
at 17.2% on August 31, 1994.
These bonds are attractive, in
part, because improvements
in the economy translated into
higher tax receipts for many
municipalities.
(solid bullet) California was the fund's
largest state concentration at
15.4% of investments at the
end of August 1994. A recent
downgrade of some California
municipal securities was
anticipated and had little
effect on the fund's holding in
this state.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended August 31, 1994
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan Intermediate Municipal Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Union
Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days are valued either at amortized cost or original
cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available through the
pricing service are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the
Board of Trustees.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net interest income.
Distributions to shareholders from realized capital gains on investments,
if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
futures transactions and losses deferred due to excise tax regulations.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect net investment income per share disclosed. Any taxable gain
remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS.
The fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward
commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after
the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the
date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the
time the transaction is negotiated. The fund identifies securities as
segregated in its custodial records with a value at least equal to the
amount of the purchase commitment.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS.
The fund may invest in futures and options contracts, and may also write
options. Futures Contracts reflect the extent of the involvement the fund
has in the particular classes of instruments. Risks may be caused by an
imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the instruments and
the price of the underlying securities and interest rates. Risks also may
arise if there is an illiquid secondary market for the instruments, or due
to the inability of counterparties to perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES
OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $207,955,209 and $174,872,178, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $89,187,325 and $88,987,160, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) pays all expenses except the compensation of the
non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of .55% of the fund's average net
assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. For
the period, FMR or its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from
shareholders which aggregated $8,681.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank securities
5. BANK BORROWINGS - CONTINUED
having a market value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The
interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from
time to time. The maximum loan and the average daily loan balances during
the periods for which loans were outstanding amounted to $1,400,000. The
weighted average interest rate was 3.625%.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the fund's operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above a specified percentage of average net assets. During the
period, this expense limitation ranged from .10% to .30% of average net
assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by $916,717.

responsibility of the fund's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing

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 as of August 31, 1994 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The year so far has been an unsettling time for bond investors. The bond
market declined after the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest
rates from February through May. These rate hikes caused bond yields to
rise and bond prices to fall. The board raised the rate again in August,
and while nobody knows whether rates will continue to go up, this may be a
good time to review the effect rising rates have on your bond fund
investment, and consider how well your current bond fund holdings match
your investment goals.
Most investors choose bond funds to generate income and to help diversify
their investment portfolios. Despite the recent market downturn, bond
mutual funds can still satisfy these needs. Where investors have felt the
negative effect
of rising rates is in the market value of their investment, which has
eroded as bond prices have fallen. It's important to remember, however,
that this loss in principal is only "on paper" until you sell your shares.
That's why your investing time horizon is key.
If your time horizon is short - one year or less - you may want to consider
shifting all or part of your bond fund investment into short-term
investments.
If you don't need your money within the next year, staying in your bond
fund may be the appropriate strategy for you. The longer your investing
time frame, the better your chances of retaining your principal investment
through periods of rising AND falling rates. For example, if you plan to
use your money in one to two years, a short-term bond fund may be the right
choice. If your time frame is two to four years, a fund with an
intermediate length average maturity may be best.
If you have a longer-term goal - say a child's college education that's 10
years away - you may be willing to ride out the bond market's peaks and
valleys in exchange for the higher potential returns of a longer-term fund.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up
a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account Builder.SM
Periodic investment plans do not, of course, assure a profit, nor do they
protect against a loss in a declining market.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value), and the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.
You can also look at the fund's income.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1994 PAST 1 LIFE OF
YEAR FUND
Spartan Aggressive Municipal 0.60% 6.27%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index 0.14% n/a
Average High Yield Municipal Bond Fund 0.08% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.90% 3.47%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year or since the fund started on
April 29, 1993. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. You can compare
these figures to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
index - a broad gauge of the municipal bond market. To measure how the fund
stacked up against its peers, you can look at the average high yield
municipal bond fund, which reflects the perform-ance of 35 similar funds
tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends
and capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer
price index helps show how your fund did compared to inflation. (The CPI
returns begin on the month end closest to the fund's start date.)

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return
and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. In the fund's next report we'll report these
numbers for the fund and the benchmarks.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan
Aggressive Municipal Fund on April 30, 1993, shortly after the fund
started. As the chart shows, by August 31, 1994, the value of your
investment with dividends reinvested would have grown to $10,616 - a 6.16%
increase on your initial investment. This assumes you still owned the fund
on August 31, 1994 and therefore does not include the effect of the $5
account closeout fee. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends reinvested,
the same $10,000 would have grown to $10,469 - a 4.69% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund
that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

DIVIDEND returns and capital appreciation returns are both part of a bond
fund's total return. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid
by the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by
the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested. Capital appreciation and total returns include the effect of
the $5 account closeout fee.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $9.75 over
the past month, $9.78 over the past six months and $10.10 over the past
year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the
yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 36% tax bracket.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Rising interest rates and inflation
concerns sent U.S. bond prices
sharply lower during the first eight
months of 1994. Yields rose -
and prices fell - on taxable and
tax-free bonds alike. The
heaviest investor selling occurred
from February through May. That
coincided with the Federal
Reserve Board's raising of
short-term interest rates. The Fed
was hoping to head off future
inflation growth that might be
triggered by the improving U.S.
economy. However, bond
investors reacted strongly to any
threat of inflation because
inflation deteriorates the value of
their fixed-rate interest payments.
Two influences roughly offset
each other in the municipal bond
market. First, investor demand
fell due to inflation worries, which
dampened prices. However, the
supply of tax-free bonds fell
sharply as well. The ability of
states, cities and public agencies
to refinance outstanding debt at
lower, more attractive rates was
limited amid a rising interest rate
environment. For the 12 months
ended August 31, 1994, the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad measure of the
tax-free market - had a total
return of 0.14%. By comparison,
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index - a proxy of
investment-grade taxable bonds
- - returned -1.51% during the
same period. Most overseas
bond markets took their cue from
the sell-off in the U.S. The
Salomon Brothers World
Government Bond Index -
which includes U.S. issues -
rose 2.28% for the 12 months.
The J.P. Morgan Emerging
Markets Bond Index returned
1.42%.
An interview with Anne Punzak, Portfolio Manager of Spartan Aggressive
Municipal Fund
Q. ANNE, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. About average, although with interest rates rising during the past six
months it has been a difficult period for both the municipal market and the
fund. For the six months ended August 31, 1994, the fund had a total return
of -1.50%. That was in line with the average high yield municipal bond
fund's return of -1.47% for the same period, according to Lipper Analytical
Services. For the year ended August 31, 1994, the fund returned 0.60%,
compared to the average fund's return of 0.08%, again according to Lipper.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY?
A. I kept the fund's duration relatively long. Duration is a measure of the
fund's sensitivity to interest rate changes. The longer the duration, the
more sensitive the fund is to changes in interest rates. When interest
rates first began rising, having a long duration hurt the fund's
performance. But when the municipal market rebounded from March through
June, having a longer duration helped. Earlier in 1994, I used futures to
help shorten the fund's duration. When the market fell, the futures
generally reduced the volatility of the fund.
Q. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK RECENTLY ABOUT DERIVATIVES. AREN'T FUTURES
ONE TYPE OF DERIVATIVE AND DO YOU USE OTHERS?
A. Yes, a futures contract is one type of financial derivative - meaning
its market value is derived from a security or market index. We've used
futures and options in our municipal bond funds for years. More recently,
I've used what's known as an inverse floater - whose yield rises as
short-term rates fall, and vice versa. Inverse floaters act like
longer-term bonds, effectively increasing a fund's duration, which is good
in a falling interest rate environment but can hurt the fund when interest
rates rise. During the past six months, inverse floaters made up less than
5% of the fund's total investments. I have no current plans to increase
that stake further. By using these various derivatives, I achieve increased
flexibility in managing the fund's overall sensitivity to changes in
interest rates, and hopefully, can achieve higher levels of income.
Q. IN THE LIGHT OF POTENTIAL HEALTH CARE REFORM, WHY HAVE YOU CONCENTRATED
NEARLY A QUARTER OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS IN HEALTH CARE BONDS?
A. One reason is that health care bonds can offer very attractive yields. I
continue to focus on hospitals located in growth suburban areas with
established HMO relationships and low cost structures. In my view, this
type of health organization could not only thrive, but prosper in a more
regulated health care environment. If that happens, these bonds could
improve in price as well as offer relatively attractive yields.
Q. WERE THERE ANY CHANGES IN YOUR STRATEGY OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. I've increased the fund's stake in industrial revenue bonds, which are
often used by private sector companies to fund their pollution control
programs. Lately, I've been buying industrial revenue bonds backed by Delta
Airlines. We think these bonds are attractive because Delta has done a good
job reducing its costs, which should help its financial health.
Q. ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU'VE SLIGHTLY REDUCED THE FUND'S STAKE IN ELECTRIC
UTILITY BONDS . . .
A. Yes, I did that because I thought concern over increased competition
among privately owned electric utilities might spill over into the
municipal market. I've held on to electric utility bonds that I think will
be able to survive in a more competitive environment.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE
HIGH-YIELD MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A. I think that high-yield bonds will continue to benefit from improvements
in the economy. In fact, we've started to see some evidence of that trend
already. During 1993, more bonds' credit ratings were upgraded than
downgraded, for the first time since the late 1980s. Also, supply and
demand factors are starting to work in municipal bonds' favor.
Q. WHAT ARE THOSE FACTORS?
A. This year, the supply of new bonds issued from January through August
was down about 40% from the same period last year. Shortages may crop up
soon, which eventually should be favorable for municipal bonds. While I
expect there to be some short-term volatility in the municipal market, it
probably won't be as dramatic as in the past six months.
FUND FACTS
GOAL: to provide high current
income exempt from federal
taxes by investing primarily in
medium- and lower-quality
securities
START DATE: April 29, 1993
SIZE: as of August 31, 1994,
more than $61 million
MANAGER: Anne Punzak, since
April 1993; manager, Fidelity

Portfolio, October 1989 to
September 1993; joined Fidelity

ANNE PUNZAK'S STRATEGY:
"When interest rates were
falling - as they were over
the past couple of years - it
paid to concentrate on price
appreciation more than
income as a way to get the
highest total return for the
fund. As interest rates fell, the
price of bonds rose. But now,
it looks fairly certain that
interest rates won't come
down much from current
levels. Given that, I'll focus on
generating a higher income.
In my opinion, higher-yielding,
lower-rated bonds that are
carefully researched by
Fidelity's staff - which is one
of the largest in the industry
- - should help boost the
fund's total return. With
further improvements in the
economy, the credit quality of
these lower-rated bonds most
likely will improve. "
(solid bullet) California was the fund's
largest state concentration at
13.1% of investments at the
end of August, 1994. Of these
investments, about three
quarters were insured and the
remaining California bonds
weren't backed by the state.
As a result, very little of the
fund's holdings were affected
by the recent downgrade of
some California municipal
bonds.
(solid bullet) Health care bonds were the
fund's largest industry sector
at 24.6% of investments on
August 31, 1994. These
bonds are attractive, in part,
because of their relatively
high yields.

7. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan Aggressive Municipal Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Union
Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are
valued based upon a computerized matrix system and/or appraisals by a
pricing service, both of which consider market transactions and
dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities maturing within sixty
days are valued either at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued
interest, both of which approximate current value. Securities for which
quotations are not readily available through the pricing service are valued
at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS.
Distributions are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment
income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
futures and market discount. The fund also utilized earnings and profits
distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the
dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect net interest income per share. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS.
The fund may invest in futures and options contracts and write options.
These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and
risks in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities. The face or contract amounts reflect the
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS - CONTINUED
extent of the involvement the fund has in the particular classes of
instruments. Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between
movements in the price of the instruments and the price
of the underlying securities and interest rates. Risks also may arise if
there is an illiquid secondary market for the instruments, or due to the
inability of counterparties to perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the fund less than 180 days are subject to
a redemption fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The
fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid
in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
8. PURCHASES AND SALES
OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $69,512,808 and $24,482,020, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed amounted to
$24,724,697 and $24,766,083, respectively.
9. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) pays all expenses except the compensation of the
non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of .60% of the fund's average net
assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. For
the period, FMR or its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from
shareholders which aggregated $1,000.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Union Street Trust and the Shareholders of
Spartan Aggressive Municipal Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of

related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended
and for the period April 29, 1993 (commencement of operations) to August
31, 1993. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits 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 con- firmation of
securities owned as of August 31, 1994 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Fidelity Union Street Trust: Spartan Aggressive Municipal Fund as of
August 31, 1994, the results of its operations for the year then ended,
the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year
then ended and for the period April 29, 1993 (commencement of operations)

principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The year so far has been an unsettling time for bond investors. The bond
market declined after the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest
rates from February through May. These rate hikes caused bond yields to
rise and bond prices to fall. The board raised the rate again in August,
and while nobody knows whether rates will continue to go up, this may be a
good time to review the effect rising rates have on your bond fund
investment, and consider how well your current bond fund holdings match
your investment goals.
Most investors choose bond funds to generate income and to help diversify
their investment portfolios. Despite the recent market downturn, bond
mutual funds can still satisfy these needs. Where investors have felt the
negative effect
of rising rates is in the market value of their investment, which has
eroded as bond prices have fallen. It's important to remember, however,
that this loss in principal is only "on paper" until you sell your shares.
That's why your investing time horizon is key.
If your time horizon is short - one year or less - you may want to consider
shifting all or part of your bond fund investment into short-term
investments.
If you don't need your money within the next year, staying in your bond
fund may be the appropriate strategy for you. The longer your investing
time frame, the better your chances of retaining your principal investment
through periods of rising AND falling rates. For example, if you plan to
use your money in one to two years, a short-term bond fund may be the right
choice. If your time frame is two to four years, a fund with an
intermediate length average maturity may be best.
If you have a longer-term goal - say a child's college education that's 10
years away - you may be willing to ride out the bond market's peaks and
valleys in exchange for the higher potential returns of a longer-term fund.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up
a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account Builder.SM
Periodic investment plans do not, of course, assure a profit, nor do they
protect against a loss in a declining market.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value), and the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.
You can also look at the fund's income. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain fund expenses, the fund's returns would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1994 PAST 1 PAST 5 LIFE OF
YEAR YEARS FUND
Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal 2.05% 35.23% 46.64%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond 0.14% 48.59% n/a
Index
Average Short Municipal Bond Fund 1.84% 33.15% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.90% 19.58% 34.84%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years or since the fund
started on December 24, 1986. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. You
can compare these figures to the performance of the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index - a broad measure of the municipal bond market. To
measure how the fund stacked up against its peers, you can look at the
average short municipal bond fund, which reflects the performance of 42
similar municipal bond funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. Both
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer price index helps show how
your fund did compared to inflation. (The CPI returns begin on the month
end closest to the fund's start date.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan
Short-Intermediate Municipal Fund on December 31, 1986, shortly after the
fund started. As the chart shows, by August 31, 1994, the value of your
investment would have grown to $14,770 - a 47.70% increase on your initial
investment. This assumes you still own the fund on August 31, 1994, and
therefore does not include the effect of the $5 account closeout fee. For
comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index - which
includes longer term bonds - did over the same period. With dividends
reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $17,787 - a 77.87%
increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund
that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

DIVIDEND returns and capital appreciation returns are both part of a bond
fund's total return. A dividend return reflects the actual dividends paid
by
the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by
the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested. Capital appreciation and total returns include the effect of
the $5 account closeout fee.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $9.82 over
the past month, $9.82 over the past six months and $9.96 over the past
year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the
yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 36% federal tax bracket.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Rising interest rates and inflation
concerns sent U.S. bond prices
sharply lower during the first eight
months of 1994. Yields rose -
and prices fell - on taxable and
tax-free bonds alike. The
heaviest investor selling occurred
from February through May. That
coincided with the Federal
Reserve Board's raising of
short-term interest rates. The Fed
was hoping to head off future
inflation growth that might be
triggered by the improving U.S.
economy. However, bond
investors reacted strongly to any
threat of inflation because
inflation deteriorates the value of
their fixed-rate interest payments.
Two influences roughly offset
each other in the municipal bond
market. First, investor demand
fell due to inflation worries, which
dampened prices. However, the
supply of tax-free bonds fell
sharply as well. The ability of
states, cities and public agencies
to refinance outstanding debt at
lower, more attractive rates was
limited amid a rising interest rate
environment. For the 12 months
ended August 31, 1994, the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad measure of the
tax-free market - had a total
return of 0.14%. By comparison,
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index - a proxy of
investment-grade taxable bonds
- - returned -1.51% during the
same period. Most overseas
bond markets took their cue from
the sell-off in the U.S. The
Salomon Brothers World
Government Bond Index -
which includes U.S. issues -
rose 2.28% for the 12 months.
The J.P. Morgan Emerging
Markets Bond Index returned
1.42%.
An interview with David Murphy, Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Short-Intermediate Municipal Fund
Q. DAVID, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. A little better than average. For the six months ended August 31, 1994,
the fund had a total return of 0.65%. That slightly outpaced the average
short municipal bond fund's return of 0.64% for the same period, according
to Lipper Analytical Services. For the year ended August 31, 1994, the fund
returned 2.05%, compared to the average short fund's return of 1.84%, again
according to Lipper.
Q. MANY MUNICIPAL BOND FUNDS HAVE POSTED NEGATIVE RETURNS OVER THE PAST SIX
MONTHS. WHY HAVE THE SHORT FUNDS FARED BETTER?
A. Let's start with what happened with the municipal market in general. In
February, the Federal Reserve Board began raising short-term interest
rates. The Fed was acting on evidence that the economy had grown at a
fairly strong pace in the fourth quarter of 1993. That was in spite of the
fact that there wasn't any solid evidence that this growth had caused
higher inflation. Since the bond market dislikes inflation, a preemptive
Fed move against the threat of future inflation is sometimes greeted
enthusiastically by investors. But this time, the market reacted negatively
because investors expected more Fed hikes to come later. As a result, many
investors started to sell municipal bonds and the market dropped. However,
the nature of short- and intermediate- term securities is that they have
less price risk than longer-term securities, and as such, fell less when
interest rates were rising. By the end of August, the Fed had raised
short-term interest rates by 1.75% to 4.75%. In the summer, the market
retraced some of its early-year losses as investors began to believe that
higher interest rates were actually slowing down the economy and inflation
was less of a threat.
Q. TURNING TO THE FUND, WHAT HELPED IT END UP AHEAD OF THE AVERAGE?
A. Two reasons. First, the fund had a relatively short duration during part
of the period. Duration is a measure of a fund's sensitivity to changes in
interest rates. The shorter the fund's duration, the less sensitive its
price when interest rates are rising or falling. Second, and more
importantly, the fund produced an above-average yield. This also helped its
performance relative to other funds of its type.
Q. WHERE DO YOU INVEST TO HELP GENERATE THAT ABOVE-AVERAGE YIELD?
A. One place is student loan bonds, which are the fund's largest sector
concentration at 28.9% of the fund's total investments at the end of
August, compared to 28.3% six months ago. Student loan bonds offer higher
yields - as much as 0.75% more than other similar bonds - because they
carry the risk of being prepaid. However, now that interest rates have
risen, there isn't much of an incentive for borrowers to pay these loans
off early.
Q. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK RECENTLY ABOUT DERIVATIVES - DO YOU USE THEM
AND WHY?
A. Yes, I use bond futures and options contracts, which are two forms of
financial derivatives - meaning their market values are derived from a
security or market index. We've used bond futures and options in our
municipal funds for years. I've also used what's known as an inverse
floater - whose yield rises as short-term rates fall, and vice versa. These
inverse floaters act like intermediate bonds, with a duration sensitivity
similar to other securities the fund holds. Throughout the period, inverse
floaters made up less than 5% of the fund's total investments. By using
these derivatives, I achieve increased flexibility in managing the fund's
overall sensitivity to changes in interest rates, and hopefully, can
achieve higher levels of income.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A. I'm optimistic that the worst is behind the municipal bond market,
although there could be some continued volatility. In my view, the
municipal market may have reached a bottom after the Fed's recent 0.50%
interest rate hike in August. If that view proves to be correct, some
fundamental factors could help drive municipal prices higher. First, the
supply of new municipals issued in 1994 is roughly half of what it was in
1993. Second, I believe that demand for municipal bonds could increase over
the next year or so, once the market settles. Both factors may work to
boost bond prices. But even if demand remains fairly constant and supply is
lower, municipal bond prices could rise.

DAVID MURPHY'S STRATEGY:
"One of my primary goals is to
generate a high level of
income for the fund. Using
Fidelity's research resources,
I try to identify bonds that will
pay a higher-than-average
income but carry little added
risk. Student loan bonds, for
example, are generally rated
A or higher by Moody's
Investors Service. These are
still investment grade ratings.
These bonds can pay 0.50%
to 0.75% more in yield than
similarly rated bonds. But I
don't just chase after yield.
When I buy a municipal bond,
my goal is always to find the
highest yield possible, while
attempting to keep risk in
check."
(solid bullet) Student loan bonds were
the fund's largest sector
concentration at 28.9% of
investments at the end of
August.
(solid bullet) General obligation bonds
(GOs), which are backed by
the taxing power of the issuer,
were the fund's second
largest concentration at
22.7% of investments at the
end of August. Improving
economic conditions could
generate higher tax revenues
for many issuers, and
ultimately help boost the
credit quality and prices of
some GOs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended August 31, 1994
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Union Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued either at
amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which
approximate current value. Securities for which quotations are not readily
available through the pricing service are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the
general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and paid
monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if
any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
futures transactions and market discount. The fund also utilized earnings
and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect net interest income per share. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS.
The fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward
commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after
the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the
date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the
time the transaction is negotiated. The fund identifies securities as
segregated in its custodial records with a value at least equal to the
amount of the purchase commitment.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS.
The fund may invest in futures and options contracts, and may also write
options. These investments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market
risk and risks in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent of
the involvement the fund has in the particular classes of instruments.
Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between movements in the
price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities and
interest rates. Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid secondary
market for the instruments, or due to the inability of counterparties to
perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $614,265,000 and $475,314,000,
respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $192,369,000 and $192,606,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) pays all expenses except the compensation of the
non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of .55% of the fund's average net
assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. For
the period, FMR or its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from
shareholders which aggregated $30,000.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plan (the Plan), and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, FMR or
the fund's distributor, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an
affiliate of FMR, may use their resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plan also authorizes payments to

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN -
CONTINUED
third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render
shareholder support services. FMR or FDC has informed the fund that
payments made to third parties under the Plan amounted to $90 for the
period.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, the fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The
maximum loan and the average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $6,800,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 3.63%.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the fund's operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above a specified percentage of average net assets. During the
period, this expense limitation ranged from .40% to .55% of average net
assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by $866,000.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The year so far has been an unsettling time for bond investors. The bond
market declined after the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest
rates from February through May. These rate hikes caused bond yields to
rise and bond prices to fall. The board raised the rate again in August,
and while nobody knows whether rates will continue to go up, this may be a
good time to review the effect rising rates have on your bond fund
investment, and consider how well your current bond fund holdings match
your investment goals.
Most investors choose bond funds to generate income and to help diversify
their investment portfolios. Despite the recent market downturn, bond
mutual funds can still satisfy these needs. Where investors have felt the
negative effect
of rising rates is in the market value of their investment, which has
eroded as bond prices have fallen. It's important to remember, however,
that this loss in principal is only "on paper" until you sell your shares.
That's why your investing time horizon is key.
If your time horizon is short - one year or less - you may want to consider
shifting all or part of your bond fund investment into short-term
investments.
If you don't need your money within the next year, staying in your bond
fund may be the appropriate strategy for you. The longer your investing
time frame, the better your chances of retaining your principal investment
through periods of rising AND falling rates. For example, if you plan to
use your money in one to two years, a short-term bond fund may be the right
choice. If your time frame is two to four years, a fund with an
intermediate length average maturity may be best.
If you have a longer-term goal - say a child's college education that's 10
years away - you may be willing to ride out the bond market's peaks and
valleys in exchange for the higher potential returns of a longer-term fund.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up
a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account Builder.SM
Periodic investment plans do not, of course, assure a profit, nor do they
protect against a loss in a declining market.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value), and the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.
You can also look at the fund's income. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain fund expenses, the life of fund figures would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1994 PAST 1 LIFE OF
YEAR FUND
Spartan Ginnie Mae -0.26% 27.95%
Salomon Brothers GNMA Pass-Through Index 0.20% n/a
Average GNMA Fund -1.15% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.90% 11.36%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year or since the fund started on
December 27, 1990. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a
5% return over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. You can compare
these figures to the performance of the Salomon Brothers GNMA Pass-Through
Index - a broad measure of the GNMA market. To measure how the fund stacked
up against its peers, you can look at the average GNMA fund, which reflects
the performance of 49 GNMA funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services.
Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer price index helps show how
your fund did compared to inflation. (The periods covered by CPI numbers
are the closest available match to those covered by the fund).

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan
Ginnie Mae Fund on December 31, 1990, shortly after the fund started. As
the chart shows, by August 31, 1994, the value of your investment would
have grown to $12,772 - a 27.72% increase on your initial investment. This
assumes you still own the fund on August 31, 1994 and therefore does not
include the effect of the $5 account closeout fee. For comparison, look at
how the Salomon Brothers GNMA Pass-Through Index did over the same period.
With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $13,211 - a
32.11% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund
that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

by
the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by
the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested. Capital appreciation and total returns include the effect of
the $5 account closeout fee on an average sized account.

on an equal basis.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Rising interest rates and inflation
concerns in the United States sent
worldwide bond prices sharply
lower during the first eight months
of 1994. Yields rose - and prices
fell - on virtually all types of
fixed-income investments. The
heaviest investor selling occurred
from February through May. That
coincided with the Federal
Reserve Board's aggressive
raising of short-term interest rates.
The Fed was hoping to head off
future inflation growth that might be
triggered by the improving U.S.
economy. However, bond investors
reacted strongly to any threat of
inflation because inflation
deteriorates the value of their
fixed-rate interest payments. For
the 12 months ended August 31,
1994, the Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index - a broad
measure of taxable bonds in the
U.S. market - had a total return of
- -1.51%. Even though refinancings
slowed, mortgage-backed
securities also suffered from rising
rates. The Lehman Brothers
mortgage index returned 0.37%
during the same period. Most
overseas bond markets took their
cue from the sell-off in the U.S. The
Salomon Brothers World
Government Bond Index - a
measure of bond market
performance in developed nations
- - rose 2.28% for the 12 months.
Although they were hit especially
hard during the first half of 1994,
emerging market bonds
rebounded in August. The J.P.
Morgan Emerging Markets Bond
Index returned 1.42% during the
12 months ended August 31.
An interview with Robert Ives,
Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Ginnie Mae Fund
Q. BOB, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. Although 1994 has been a tough year for bond investors, the fund did
outperform most of its peers. The fund's total return for the 12 months
ended August 31, 1994, was -0.26%. The average GNMA fund tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services returned -1.15% during the same period, while the
Salomon Brothers GNMA Pass-Through Index was up 0.20%.
Q. WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THE MORTGAGE BOND MARKET?
A. After a bond market rally that lasted nearly three years, interest rates
generally rose over the past six months. The Federal Reserve Board raised
short-term rates sharply in an attempt to hold the line on future inflation
that might result from a strengthening economy. But the mere threat of
inflation led to a sharp sell-off
in the bond markets. Although mortgage bond prices fell too, there was a
silver lining in the rate rise. It served to slow the rate of prepayments,
which had caused mortgage bonds to generally under-perform Treasuries when
rates were falling.
Q. HOW DOES THE SLOWDOWN IN
PREPAYMENTS HELP THE FUND?
A. A prepayment happens when the principal on a mortgage bond is paid to
its holder before the bond matures. That happens when a homeowner
refinances an existing mortgage or moves. The problem is, once a bond is
prepaid, the investor - in this case the fund - has to reinvest that money
in a newer mortgage bond, usually at a lower interest rate. When a mortgage
bond is sold in the marketplace, its price usually reflects an expected
likelihood of prepayment. And prepayments that happen faster than expected
can hurt the fund's total return. Over the past year, the fund avoided some
of the detrimental effects of prepayments by investing in seasoned bonds.
Their prices were low because investors felt that they were highly
susceptible to prepayments, however these bonds experienced slow
prepayments, which benefited the fund.
Q. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "SEASONED" BONDS?
A. Seasoning simply means the bonds have aged several years. Examples
include Ginnie Maes with coupons in the 8% and 9% range, issued in the late
1980s. There may be many reasons why these homeowners never refinanced, but
often they have low balances on their loans.
Q. DO PREPAYMENTS EVER HELP THE FUND?
A. Sometimes. Let's say I bought a discounted bond for $900. If the bond is
prepaid soon after, I'll get its par value of $1,000, and the fund has made
$100. I've already mentioned that some homeowners with seasoned mortgages
might not be apt to refinance, but they are more likely to move than
homeowners with newer mortgages. Now that refinancings have slowed, a
larger percentage of prepayments occur because of moves. To that end,
Fidelity's analysts have been helping me keep close track of expected
housing turnover rates nationwide. We search out discount bonds which we
expect to have a high level of prepayments.
Q. WHAT OTHER FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund had a small stake - 2.7% on February 28 - in collateralized
mortgage obligations or CMOs, which did well. These are essentially pieces
of mortgages; the mortgage's principal and interest payments are divided. I
felt these instruments were undervalued in the marketplace due to investor
confusion about expected prepayment rates. Eventually that prepayment risk
became clearer to investors and the value of the CMOs rose. While
technically considered derivatives because their value is tied to an
underlying mortgage security, the CMOs that I bought carried a relatively
low amount of prepayment and interest rate risk, lower, in fact, than their
underlying mortgage bonds. I've since sold the investments because I felt
that the CMOs had become more fully valued.
Q. WHICH INVESTMENTS DIDN'T WORK OUT AS PLANNED?
A. The fund had an 8.5% stake in 30-year Treasury bonds at the end of
February. I made the investment because I felt that long-term interest
rates had further room to fall. However, when the Fed raised short-term
rates in February, long-term rates shot upward, causing the prices of these
bonds to fall. I sold them pretty quickly, but they did dampen the fund's
total return.
Q. WHAT'S ON THE HORIZON FOR THE FUND?
A. I think the bond market could go either way from here. Lately, we've
been getting some mixed signals on economic growth and inflation, which has
resulted in increased market volatility. Despite this uncertainty, the
mortgage market looks better than it has in some time. If rates stabilize
or even rise slowly, I think mortgage bonds are well-positioned to
outperform comparable maturity Treasuries.

"The fund's duration - a
measure of its sensitivity to
changes in interest rates - rose
from 3.9 years to 4.9 years over
the past six months. This was
mostly due to the lengthening
duration of the overall market.
The high volume of refinancings
that occurred as interest rates fell
flooded the market with low
coupon bonds which have longer
durations. Also, as rates have
risen and refinancings have
slowed, the average mortgage
bond has a longer life, and
therefore, a longer duration.
"A longer duration could make
the fund's share price more
volatile in the months ahead.
However, the fund's duration was
historically low over the past
couple of years, and now we're
returning to more typical levels.
In addition, as rates have risen, so
has the fund's yield, which may
help offset future share price
drops."
(solid bullet) The fund's stake in Ginnie Mae
bonds has increased from 71.6%
six months ago to 91.2% on
August 31.
DISTRIBUTIONS
A total of 1.43% of the dividends
distributed during the fiscal year
was derived from interest on U.S.
Government securities which is
generally exempt from state
income tax. The fund will notify
shareholders in January 1995 of
the applicable percentage for use
in preparing 1994 income tax
returns.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended August 31, 1994
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan Ginnie Mae Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust
(the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The
trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the significant
accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued either at
amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which
approximate current value. Securities for which quotations are not readily
available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under
consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board
of Trustees.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and paid
monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if
any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
paydown gains/losses on mortgage-backed securities and losses deferred due
to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect net investment income per share. Distributions in excess of net
investment income may include temporary book and tax basis differences
which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain
remaining at fiscal year end is dis- tributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective September
1, 1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and
Financial Statement Presentation of
Income, Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment
Companies. As a result, the fund changed the classification of
distributions to shareholders to better disclose the differences between
financial statement amounts and distributions determined in accordance with
income tax regulations. Accordingly,
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
amounts as of August 31, 1993 have been reclassified to reflect a decrease
in paid in capital of $1,263,010, a decrease in undistributed net
investment income of $11,747,618 and a decrease in accumulated net realized
loss on investments of $13,010,628.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible for
determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at least
equal to the resale price.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of FMR, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more
joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements that mature in 60 days or less from the date of
purchase, and are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
obligations.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS.
The fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward
commitment basis. Payment and delivery may
take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of
the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be
delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated.
The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in a delayed
delivery transaction. The fund identifies securities as segregated in its
custodial records with a value at least equal to the amount of the purchase
commitment.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of long-term U.S. government and government agency
obligations aggregated $1,466,451,099 and $1,740,783,675, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's
investment adviser, FMR pays all expenses except the compensation of the
non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. FMR
receives a fee that is computed daily at
an annual rate of .65% of the fund's average net assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. For
the period, FMR or its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from
shareholders which aggregated $44,907.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Union Street Trust and the Shareholders of
Spartan Ginnie Mae Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Fidelity Union Street Trust: Spartan Ginnie Mae Fund, including the
schedule of portfolio investments, as of August 31, 1994, and the related
statement of operations for the year then ended, 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 three years in the period then ended
and for the period December 27, 1990 (commencement of operations) to August
31, 1991. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits 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 as of August 31, 1994, 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Fidelity Union Street Trust: Spartan Ginnie Mae Fund as of August 31,
1994, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in
its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended
and for the period December 27, 1990 (commencement of operations) to August
31, 1991, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The year so far has been an unsettling time for bond investors. The bond
market declined after the Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest
rates from February through May. These rate hikes caused bond yields to
rise and bond prices to fall. The board raised the rate again in August,
and while nobody knows whether rates will continue to go up, this may be a
good time to review the effect rising rates have on your bond fund
investment, and consider how well your current bond fund holdings match
your investment goals.
Most investors choose bond funds to generate income and to help diversify
their investment portfolios. Despite the recent market downturn, bond
mutual funds can still satisfy these needs. Where investors have felt the
negative effect
of rising rates is in the market value of their investment, which has
eroded as bond prices have fallen. It's important to remember, however,
that this loss in principal is only "on paper" until you sell your shares.
That's why your investing time horizon is key.
If your time horizon is short - one year or less - you may want to consider
shifting all or part of your bond fund investment into short-term
investments.
If you don't need your money within the next year, staying in your bond
fund may be the appropriate strategy for you. The longer your investing
time frame, the better your chances of retaining your principal investment
through periods of rising AND falling rates. For example, if you plan to
use your money in one to two years, a short-term bond fund may be the right
choice. If your time frame is two to four years, a fund with an
intermediate length average maturity may be best.
If you have a longer-term goal - say a child's college education that's 10
years away - you may be willing to ride out the bond market's peaks and
valleys in exchange for the higher potential returns of a longer-term fund.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up
a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account Builder.SM
Periodic investment plans do not, of course, assure a profit, nor do they
protect against a loss in a declining market.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value), and the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.
You can also look at the fund's income. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain fund expenses during the periods shown, the total returns,
dividends and yields would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1994 PAST 1 LIFE OF
YEAR FUND
Spartan Municipal Income -1.42% 40.94%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index 0.14% n/a
Average General Municipal Bond Fund -1.10% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.90% 15.33%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year or since the fund started on
June 4, 1990. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. You can compare
these figures to the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
index - a broad measure of the municipal bond market. To measure how the
fund stacked up against its peers, you can look at the average general
municipal bond fund, which reflects the performance of 202 similar
municipal bond funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. Both benchmarks
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any. Comparing the
fund's performance to the consumer price index helps show how your fund did
compared to inflation. (The CPI returns begin on the month end closest to
the fund's start date).

constant rate each year.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan
Municipal Income Portfolio on June 30, 1990, shortly after the fund
started. As the chart shows, by August 31, 1994, the value of your
investment would have grown to $13,953 - a 39.53% increase on your initial
investment. This assumes you still own the fund on August 31, 1994, and
therefore does not include the effect of the $5 account closeout fee. For
comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond index did over
the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 would have
grown to $13,968 - a 39.68% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund
that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

DIVIDEND returns and capital appreciation returns are both part of a bond

by
the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by
the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are
reinvested. Capital appreciation and total returns include the effect of
the $5 account closeout fee.

you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $10.04 over
the past month, $10.10 over the past six months and $10.56 over the past
year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the
yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 36% federal tax bracket.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Rising interest rates and inflation
concerns sent U.S. bond prices
sharply lower during the first eight
months of 1994. Yields rose -
and prices fell - on taxable and
tax-free bonds alike. The
heaviest investor selling occurred
from February through May. That
coincided with the Federal
Reserve Board's raising of
short-term interest rates. The Fed
was hoping to head off future
inflation growth that might be
triggered by the improving U.S.
economy. However, bond
investors reacted strongly to any
threat of inflation because
inflation deteriorates the value of
their fixed-rate interest payments.
Two influences roughly offset
each other in the municipal bond
market. First, investor demand
fell due to inflation worries, which
dampened prices. However, the
supply of tax-free bonds fell
sharply as well. The
ability of states, cities and public
agencies to refinance
outstanding debt at lower, more
attractive rates was limited amid a
rising interest rate environment.
For the 12 months ended August
31, 1994, the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index - a broad
measure of the tax-free market -
had a total return of 0.14%. By
comparison, the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index
- - a proxy of investment-grade
taxable bonds -
returned -1.51% during the same
period. Most overseas bond
markets took their cue from the
sell-off in the U.S. The Salomon
Brothers World Government
Bond Index - which includes
U.S. issues - rose 2.28% for the
12 months. The J.P. Morgan
Emerging Markets Bond Index
returned 1.42%.
An interview with Norman Lind, Portfolio Manager of Spartan Municipal
Income Portfolio
Q. NORM, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. With interest rates rising during the past six months, it has been a
difficult period for both the municipal market and the fund. For the six
months ended August 31, 1994, the fund had a total return of -2.53%. That
lagged the average municipal bond fund's return of-1.83% for the same
period, according to Lipper Analytical Services. For the year ended August
31, 1994, the fund returned -1.42%, compared to the average fund's return
of -1.10%, again according to Lipper.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND LAG THE AVERAGE?
A. Mainly because it had a longer duration during much of the period than
many of its competitors. Duration is a measure of the fund's sensitivity to
changes in interest rates. The longer the fund's duration, the more
volatile its share price is to changes in interest rates. As a result, the
fund's share price fell more than many of its competitors when interest
rates rose. However, my view is that long-term interest rates will remain
flat or even fall from current levels, and having a longer duration will
benefit the fund if that kind of environment evolves. However, to generally
help reduce the fund's volatility, I've sold bond futures contracts.
Q. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK RECENTLY ABOUT DERIVATIVES. AREN'T FUTURES
ONE TYPE OF DERIVATIVE AND DO YOU USE OTHERS?
A. Yes, a futures contract is one type of financial derivative - meaning
its market value is derived from a security or market index. We've used
futures and options in our municipal bond funds for years. More recently,
I've used what's known as an inverse floater - whose yield rises as
short-term rates fall, and vice versa. Inverse floaters act like longer-
term bonds, effectively increasing a fund's duration, which is good in a
falling interest rate environment but can hurt the fund when interest rates
rise. During the past six months, inverse floaters made up less than 5% of
the fund's total investments. By using these various derivatives, I achieve
increased flexibility in managing the fund's overall sensitivity to changes
in interest rates, and hopefully, can achieve higher levels of income.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE BRIGHT SPOTS FOR THE FUND?
A. The fund's investments in New York state-appropriated and New York City
bonds did relatively well. State-appropriated bonds rely on annual
appropriations by the state legislature to meet all or part of their
principal and interest payments. As the state's economy and fiscal
condition improved, investors seemed to expect these bonds to get upgraded.
As a result, they did relatively well. New York City bonds also benefited
from the state's, and its own, improving economy. The fund's total
investments in New York bonds stood at 13.1% of investments at the end of
August 1994. Another bright spot was that despite the market's downturn,
the fund still posted a relatively high yield.
Q. HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT GENERATING THAT HIGH YIELD?
A. One way is through owning non-investment grade bonds - those rated Ba or
lower by Moody's Investors Services - or non-rated bonds, which we think
can benefit from an improving economy. For example, lower-rated industrial
development bonds and selected health care issues can add substantial yield
to the
portfolio. Fidelity's fixed income analysts do extensive research to
identify these bonds. Non-investment grade bonds made up 11.4% of the
fund's total investments at the end of August 1994.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A. Higher commodity and industrial product prices have caused many
investors to worry that inflation is on the rise. But I think those numbers
are just a temporary blip. The service sector - which is the majority of
the U.S. economy - hasn't been able to raise prices. What's more, wages
aren't rising dramatically. In my view, those factors indicate that higher
interest rates have done their job and slowed the economy down, and
inflation should not be a major problem going forward. A moderate growth,
low-inflation environment is usually good for bonds. As a result, I think
the municipal bond market could post positive results over the next six to
12 months.

NORM LIND ON FINDING VALUE:
"The market's sell-off did
present an opportunity to buy
the types of bonds I wanted at
`bargain' prices. With the
quantitative expertise of
Fidelity's fixed-income
analysts, I was able to identify
bonds that were undervalued,
meaning they were trading for
a price that was below what we
believed to be their actual
value. For example, I bought
some non-callable bonds - or
bonds that can't be redeemed
before their scheduled maturity
dates - at relatively attractive
prices in the early spring. Our
quantitative process helps us
identify bonds that are
undervalued."
(solid bullet) California was the fund's
largest state concentration at
14.3% of investments at the
end of August 1994. More
than half of these bonds were
insured or guaranteed by an
issuer other than the state. As
a result, very little of the fund's
holdings were affected by a
recent downgrade of some
California municipal bonds.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan Municipal Income Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Union
Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days of their purchase date are valued either at
amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which
approximate current value. Securities for which quotations are not readily
available through the pricing service are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the
general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net interest income.
Distributions to shareholders from realized capital gains on investments,
if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
futures and options transactions, market discount and losses deferred due
to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to
shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid
deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect net interest income per share. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the fund less than 180 days are subject to
a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The
fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid
in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective September
1, 1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of August 31, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $737,425, and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $737,425.
6. OPERATING POLICIES.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the
underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered
and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The fund
identifies securities as segregated in its custodial records with a value
at least equal to the amount of the purchase commitment.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may invest in futures and options
contracts, and may also write options. These investments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amount
recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract
amounts reflect the extent of the involvement the fund has in the
particular classes of instruments. Risks may be caused by an imperfect
correlation between movements in the price of the instruments and the price
of the underlying securities and interest rates. Risks also may arise if
there is an illiquid secondary market for the instruments, or due to the
inability of counterparties to perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
7. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $364,816,667 and $532,562,413, respectively.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS - CONTINUED
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $1,018,116,217 and $1,012,570,507, respectively.
8. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) pays all expenses except the compensation of the
non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of .55% of the fund's average net
assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. For
the period, FMR or its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from
shareholders which aggregated $20,570.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
The year so far has been an unsettling time for many investors. For
example, after three years of a nearly perfect environment for stock market
investing, stock prices generally fell from February through June. Bond
prices have fallen as well. Investors disagree about whether these declines
represent only a short-term correction or signal the beginning of a longer
bear market. One can collect statistics to support either opinion, but of
course, nobody knows for sure what will happen in the months ahead.
We do know, however, that market declines are a normal part of investing.
We have historically seen corrections of 10% or more every two years.
That's why I thought this might be a good time to review three basic
investment principles that have proven helpful to successful investors in
every market cycle.
First, take a long-term approach when investing. If you can afford to leave
your money invested through the inevitable ups and downs of financial
markets, you will greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline.
Over time, for example, stock prices have gone up - and have significantly
outperformed other types of investments and stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage risk by diversifying your investments. A
stock mutual fund is already diversified, because it invests in many
different companies. You can increase your diversification by investing in
a number of different stock funds, or in different investment categories,
such as bonds. You should also keep money you'll need in the near future in
a more stable investment.
Finally, it makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing
a set amount of money at the same time each month or quarter. That way, you
can avoid getting caught up in the excitement of a rapidly-rising market -
and won't end up buying all your shares at market highs. This strategy
won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, but
it should help you lower the average cost of your purchases. For this to be
effective, you must continue to buy shares in both up and down markets.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We would be happy
to send you a Fidelity FundMatch kit, which can help you determine the mix
of investments that is right for you. You might also find it convenient to
set up a regular investment plan using the Fidelity Automatic Account
Builder.SM
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, reinvestment of any dividends (or
income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it sells bonds
that have grown in value), and the effect of the $5 account closeout fee.
You can also look at the fund's income. If Fidelity had not reimbursed
certain fund expenses during the periods shown, the total returns and
dividends would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1994 PAST 1 LIFE OF
YEAR FUND
Spartan Maryland Municipal Income -1.48% 3.93%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index 0.14% n/a
Average Maryland Tax-Exempt
Municipal Bond -1.17% 3.67%
Consumer Price Index (CPI) 2.90% 3.47%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period
- - in this case, one year or since the fund started on April 22, 1993. For
example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the
past year, you would end up with $1,050. You can compare these figures to
the performance of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a broad gauge
of the municipal bond market. To measure how the fund stacked up against
its peers, you can look at the average Maryland tax-exempt municipal bond
fund, which reflects the performance of 23 Maryland tax-exempt municipal
bond funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. Both benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's
performance to the CPI helps show how your fund did compared to inflation.
(The periods covered by CPI numbers are the closest available match to
those covered by the fund.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan
Maryland Municipal Income Portfolio on April 30, 1993, shortly after the
fund started. As the chart shows, by August 31, 1994, the value of your
investment would have grown to $10,403 - a 4.03% increase on your initial
investment. This assumes you still own the fund on August 31, 1994 and
therefore does not include the effect of the $5 account closeout fee. For
comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index did over
the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 would have
grown to $10,469 - a 4.69% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, move in the
opposite direction of interest
rates. In turn, the share price,
return, and yield of a fund
that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your
shares during a market
downturn, you might lose
money. But if you can ride out
the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

reinvested. Capital appreciation and total returns include the effect of
the $5 account closeout fee.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $9.62 over
the past month, $9.66 over the past six months and $10.01 over the past
year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the
yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 41.76% combined effective 1994 federal and state income tax bracket.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Rising interest rates and inflation
concerns sent U.S. bond prices
sharply lower during the first eight
months of 1994. Yields rose -
and prices fell - on taxable and
tax-free bonds alike. The
heaviest investor selling occurred
from February through May. That
coincided with the Federal
Reserve Board's raising of
short-term interest rates. The Fed
was hoping to head off future
inflation growth that might be
triggered by the improving U.S.
economy. However, bond
investors reacted strongly to any
threat of inflation because
inflation deteriorates the value of
their fixed-rate interest payments.
Two influences roughly offset
each other in the municipal bond
market. First, investor demand
fell due to inflation worries, which
dampened prices. However, the
supply of tax-free bonds fell
sharply as well. The ability of
states, cities and public agencies
to refinance outstanding debt at
lower, more attractive rates was
limited amid a rising interest rate
environment. For the 12 months
ended August 31, 1994, the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad measure of the
tax-free market - had a total
return of 0.14%. By comparison,
the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index - a proxy of
investment-grade taxable bonds
- - returned -1.51% during the
same period. Most overseas
bond markets took their cue from
the sell-off in the U.S. The
Salomon Brothers World
Government Bond Index -
which includes U.S. issues -
rose 2.28% for the 12 months.
The J.P. Morgan Emerging
Markets Bond Index returned
1.42%.
An interview with Steven Harvey,
Portfolio Manager of Spartan
Maryland Municipal Income Fund
Q. STEVE, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. For the six months ended August 31, 1994, the fund had a total return of
- -2.08%. That slightly outpaced the average Maryland municipal bond fund's
return of -2.21% for the same period, according to Lipper Analytical
Services. However, for the year ended August 31, 1994, the fund returned
- -1.48%, which slightly lagged the average fund's return of -1.17%, again
according to Lipper.
Q. DID THE HIGHER INTEREST RATES WE'VE SEEN OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS AFFECT
THE WAY YOU MANAGED THE FUND?
A. Not significantly. Throughout the period, I continued to keep the fund's
duration relatively long. Duration is a measure of how sensitive the fund's
share price is to changes in interest rates; the longer the fund's
duration, the more volatile its share price when interest rates rise or
fall. Although I could have shortened the fund's duration when interest
rates were rising, I was hesitant to do so for two reasons. First, my
long-term outlook is that economic growth will moderate and inflation and
long-term interest rates will probably stay relatively low, on a historical
basis. In that type of environment, having a longer duration could benefit
the fund. Second, the supply of new Maryland bonds issued so far in 1994 is
roughly 40% less than the amount issued in 1993. As a result, I was
concerned that the type of bonds I wanted to own over the long term
wouldn't be available later on. However to generally help shorten the
fund's duration, I've used bond futures contracts.
Q. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK RECENTLY ABOUT DERIVATIVES. AREN'T FUTURES
ONE TYPE OF DERIVATIVE AND DO YOU USE
OTHERS?
A. Yes, a futures contract is one type of financial derivative - meaning
its market value is derived from a security or market index. We've used
futures and options in our municipal bond funds for years. More recently,
I've used what's known as an inverse floater - whose yield rises as
short-term rates fall, and vice versa. Inverse floaters act like
longer-term bonds, effectively increasing a fund's duration, which is good
in a falling interest rate environment but can hurt the fund when interest
rates rise. During the past six months, inverse floaters made up less than
5% of the fund's total investments. By using these various derivatives, I
achieve increased flexibility in managing the fund's overall sensitivity to
changes in interest rates, and hopefully, can achieve higher levels of
income.
Q. WHAT FACTOR HELPED KEEP THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE IN LINE WITH THE AVERAGE
MARYLAND FUND?
A. An above-average income helped boost the fund's performance. One way
I've added income to the fund is by building a 5% stake in pollution
control bonds backed by Bethlehem Steel, which paid about 7.25% in yield
compared to an insured Maryland bond which paid about 6.25% in yield at the
end of August. If the economic recovery continues, these bonds could also
enjoy some price appreciation. Housing bonds - which made up 11.3% of the
fund's total investments at the end of August - also pay higher yields than
bonds with similar ratings. That's because housing bonds carry the risk
that they'll be prepaid. But through careful research, we've identified
housing bonds that should be relatively insulated from the threat of
prepayment.
Q. IN TERMS OF SECTOR CONCENTRATIONS, WHAT OTHER CHOICES HAVE YOU MADE?
A. Health care bonds - at 24.7% of the fund's investments as of August 31,
1994 - made up the fund's largest sector concentration. In this sector,
I've targeted health care organizations that I think are well managed, and
could not only survive, but possibly benefit from health care reform.
Transportation bonds - at 20.4% of investments - make up the fund's third
largest concentration. I bought them at a time when their prices were
relatively cheap because of an abundance of supply. Also, many of these
bonds are non-callable, which means they can't be prematurely redeemed by
their issuers. That feature makes them attractive because non-callable
bonds tend to do relatively well in both up and down markets.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A. I think that for the short term, the market could remain volatile. But
over the long term, my outlook is more optimistic. It appears that higher
interest rates are actually slowing things down, as evidenced by a drop in
auto and new home sales. A slow-growth, low inflation environment is
generally positive for bonds.

STEVEN HARVEY'S OUTLOOK FOR
THE MUNICIPAL MARKET:
"There could be some
additional short-term volatility
in the municipal market over
the next several months. But
eventually, the municipal
market should start benefiting
from a reduced supply of
bonds available. Last year
there was a record supply of
municipal bonds issued, the
result of many municipalities
refinancing more expensive,
older debt at lower rates.
Most of the issuers that could
refinance already had done
so by the start of 1994; and
higher interest rates
effectively eliminated the
incentive to finance any
remaining issues. In
Maryland, the supply of bonds
has dropped about 40% from
last year's level. A lower
supply and a constant
demand for municipals could
help drive prices higher."
(solid bullet) Although the fund invests
primarily in long-term,
investment-grade (Baa or
above) Maryland municipal
bonds, up to one-third of its
assets may be invested in
non-investment grade bonds.
At the end of August, less
than 6% of the fund's
investments was rated
equivalent to those
Ba or below.
(solid bullet) Because of recent federal,
state and county tax hikes,
some Maryland residents
could be subject to a tax-rate
as high as 45.04%.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES.
Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Union Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
maturing within sixty days are valued either at amortized cost or original
cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available through the
pricing service are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith
under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the
Board of Trustees.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income. Distributions to shareholders from
realized capital gains on investments, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
futures and options transactions.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the fund less than 180 days are subject to
a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The
fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid
in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may invest in futures and options
contracts, and may also write options. These investments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of market risk and risks in excess of the amount
recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The face or contract
amounts, as reflected in
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS -
CONTINUED
the schedule of investments under the caption "Futures Contracts," reflect
the extent of the involvement the fund has in the particular classes of
instruments. Risks may be caused by an imperfect correlation between
movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying
securities and interest rates. Risks also may arise if there is an illiquid
secondary market for the instruments, or due to the inability of
counterparties to perform.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Options traded
on an exchange are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a
sale, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued
using dealer-supplied valuations.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF
INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $38,994,852 and $23,310,530, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) pays all expenses except the compensation of the
non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of .55% of the fund's average net
assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. For
the period, FMR or its affiliates collected certain transaction fees from
shareholders which aggregated $1,105.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the fund's operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses). During the period, this expense limitation ranged from 0% to
.10% of average net assets and the reimbursement reduced the expenses by
$205,005.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Union Street Trust and the Shareholders of
Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Fidelity Union Street Trust: Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund,
including the schedule of portfolio investments as of August 31, 1994, the
related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statement
of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then
ended and for the period April 22, 1993 (commencement of operations) to
August 31, 1993. 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 audits.
We conducted our audits 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 as of August 31, 1994, 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Fidelity Union Street Trust: Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund as
of August 31, 1994, the results of its operations for the year then ended,
and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year
ended August 31, 1994, and the period April 22, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to August 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
