PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although the markets have been fairly positive this year, no one can
predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and
downs in a long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An
intermediate-length fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is
two to four years, and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if
you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for 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 period shown, the total return, dividend,
and yield would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 1995 LIFE OF
FUND
Spartan Arizona Municipal Income 11.73%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index n/a
Average Arizona Municipal Bond Fund n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.34%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case since the fund started on October 11,
1994. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return
over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. Once the
fund is a year old, you can compare the fund's returns to the performance
of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a broad gauge of the
municipal bond market. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up
against its peers (again, once it's a year old), you also will be able to
compare it to the average Arizona municipal bond fund. Both benchmarks will
include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any. Comparing the
fund's performance to the consumer price index (CPI) 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
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. Average annual returns for the fund and its
benchmarks will appear in the fund's next report.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan
Arizona Municipal Income Portfolio on October 31, 1994, shortly after the
fund started. As the chart shows, by August 31, 1995, the value of your
investment would have grown to $11,372 - a 13.72% increase on your initial
investment. This assumes you still own the fund on August 31, 1995 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 $11,248 - a 12.48% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no
guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally 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 $10.48 over
the past month, $10.51 over the past six months and $10.22 over the life of
fund, 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 39.58% combined effective 1995 federal and state income tax bracket,
but does not reflect the payment of the federal alternative minimum tax, if
applicable. If the advisor had not reimbursed certain portfolio expenses
during the period shown, the yield and tax-equivalent yield would have been
4.86% and 8.04%, respectively.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
The municipal bond market posted
strong returns for the 12 months
ended August 31, 1995. For the
12-month period, the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a
broad measure of the tax-free
market - had a total return of
8.87%. By comparison, the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index - a proxy of
investment-grade taxable bonds -
returned 11.30%. A strong rally
starting in November 1994 helped
municipal bonds recover from the
effects of the sharply rising interest
rate environment seen through
much of 1994. A relatively tame
inflationary environment coupled
with indications of a slowing
economy encouraged bond
investors, helping to push interest
rates down throughout the period.
In addition, the Federal Reserve
Board - seeking to prevent the
economy from going into recession
- - eased formerly tight credit
conditions by lowering the fed funds
rate - the rate banks charge each
other for overnight loans - by 0.25%
on July 6 to 5.75%. Performance
among taxable and tax-free issues
was not uniform during the period.
While municipal bonds performed
better than comparable Treasury
issues in the first quarter of 1995, this
trend reversed later in the year.
Ongoing concerns related to the
bankruptcy of Orange County,
California, and the threat of tax
reform dampened investor interest,
causing muni prices to compress
relative to taxable issues. The rally
rekindled at the end of August, aided
by a tightening supply of municipal
debt securities.
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: On October 1, 1995, Jonathan Short (right photo)
became portfolio manager of Spartan Arizona Municipal Income Portfolio. The
following is an interview with Maureen Newman - who managed the fund during
the period covered by this report - with some comments from Jon Short on
what's ahead for the fund and his outlook for the Arizona economy.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, MAUREEN?
M.N. The municipal bond market has enjoyed a fairly significant rally in
1995 and the fund's performance reflects that. But since the fund has been
operating for less than a full year, any comparison of its performance with
other funds of its type would be misleading. That said, from the start of
its operations on October 11, 1994, through August 31, 1995, the fund
returned 11.73%.
Q. HOW DID YOU ALTER YOUR STRATEGY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DECLINING INTEREST
RATES DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
M.N. Up until the early summer, the yield curve - which measures the yields
on bonds with various maturities - flattened. As the yield curve flattens,
investors usually aren't rewarded with much additional yield for buying
bonds with longer-term maturities. So as the yield curve flattening
occurred, I moved more of the fund's investments out of longer-term bonds
with maturities of 20 years or more, and into intermediate bonds with
maturities between 10 and 15 years. But by mid-summer, the yield curve
began to steepen once again, and investors again were rewarded with enough
additional yield to warrant buying longer-term bonds. At that point, I
began buying some bonds with maturities of 15 to 20 years.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE BEST PERFORMING BONDS DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
M.N. Uninsured bonds issued by Maricopa County - which accounted for 3.5%
of the fund's investments at the end of the period - performed quite well.
As you may remember, the credit quality of these bonds was downgraded to
lower-investment grade last year because of some of the fiscal problems the
county was experiencing. I purchased these bonds after the downgrade when
they were relatively cheap. But the county has brought in new management
and done some cost cutting and, as a result, the price of Maricopa County
bonds have risen. In addition, insured bonds performed very well during the
period. The prices of insured bonds tend to move up quickly during market
rallies. Also, heightened concerns about credit quality caused increased
demand for high-quality bonds.
Q. WHAT OTHER CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO YOUR STRATEGY?
M.N. One of the more noticeable changes was that I reduced the fund's stake
in bonds with non-investment grade ratings of Ba or B, as rated by Moody's
Investor Service. Over the past six months the spread - or the difference-
between the yields offered by bonds of various credit qualities became
tighter, or smaller. So I sold many of the fund's below-investment grade
bonds and replaced them with investment-grade bonds. Tight spreads meant
that I didn't have to sacrifice much yield while I was improving the
overall credit quality of the fund. For example, I sold the fund's
below-investment grade electric utility bonds, which also explains why the
fund had a smaller stake in the electric utility sector bonds at the end of
the period than six months ago.
Q. WHY DID YOU DECREASE THE FUND'S STAKE IN BONDS ISSUED BY GUAM AND PUERTO
RICO?
M.N. I sold some of these territorial bonds in order to take advantage of
opportunities to buy Arizona securities. For example, I recently added some
bonds issued by Arizona State University and the University of Arizona,
which are very strong credits, in my view. The fund's stake in territorial
bonds was about 15% of investments at the end of the period, down from
26.5% six months ago. As territories of the United States, Guam and Puerto
Rico may issue municipal bonds free from local, state and federal income
taxes in all 50 states. I continue to hold many of these territorial bonds
because their tax-exempt status makes demand for them very strong, which
could result in superior returns.
Q. TURNING TO YOU JON, WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE FUND?
J.S. Maureen and I share similar investment strategies and philosophy. For
that reason, most of the changes I'll make to the fund probably will be the
result of market opportunities and conditions, as opposed to some departure
in strategy. That said, I think that it is important for shareholders to
realize that over the past six months, the municipal bond market has
enjoyed extremely strong performance, and it wouldn't be all that
surprising if the market paused to catch its breath soon. If this is the
case, the fund's returns are likely to be more dependent on income than on
price appreciation.

JON SHORT ON HIS OUTLOOK
FOR THE ARIZONA MUNICIPAL
MARKET:
"Arizona's economy and
fiscal health are two
important factors that will
affect the credit quality of
municipal bonds issued in
the state. I think the state's
economic and fiscal status
are quite healthy and should
continue to be so over the
near term. One reason for
the state's economic
strength is that it is broadly
diversified among the
service, industrial and
tourism sectors. That helps
to insulate it from a downturn
in any one sector. The
state's fiscal position is quite
strong as well. During the
past six months, the
legislature passed a
reduction in income tax
rates, but I don't expect any
further reductions in the
foreseeable future, and
Arizona tax-free bonds
continue to offer attractive
after-tax income for
investors."

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects the change in a fund's share price
over a given period, reinvestment of its dividends (or income), and the
effect of the fund's $5 account closeout fee. Yield measures the income
paid by a fund. Since a money market fund tries to maintain a $1 share
price, yield is an important measure of performance.
If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during the period
shown, the total return and yields would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 1995 LIFE OF
FUND
Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market 3.43%
Average All Tax-Free Money Market Fun 2.79%
d
Consumer Price Index 2.34%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case since the fund started on October 12,
1994. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return
over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. To
measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can
compare it to the average all tax-free money market fund, which reflects
the performance of 391 all tax-free money market funds with similar
objectives tracked by IBC/Donoghue during the period covered by this
report. Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer price index (CPI)
helps show how your fund did compared to inflation. (The periods covered by
the CPI and IBC/Donoghue numbers are the closest available match to those
covered by the fund.)
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
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. Average annual returns for the fund and its
benchmarks will appear in the fund's next report.

YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual
percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or
compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's
current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals. You can compare these
yields to the average all tax-free money market fund. Or you can look at
the fund's tax-equivalent yield, which is based on a combined effective
1995 federal and state income tax rate of 39.58%. Figures for the average
all tax-free money market fund are from IBC/Donoghue. A portion of the
fund's income may be subject to the alternative minimum tax.
A MONEY MARKET FUND'S TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS WILL VARY, AND REFLECT PAST
RESULTS RATHER THAN PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
COMPARING
PERFORMANCE
Yields on tax-free investments
are usually lower than yields
on taxable investments.
However, a straight
comparison between the two
may be misleading because it
ignores the way taxes reduce
taxable returns. Tax-equivalent
yield - the yield you'd have to
earn on a similar taxable
investment to match the
tax-free yield - makes the
comparison more meaningful.
Keep in mind that the U.S.
government neither insures nor
guarantees a money market
fund. In fact, there is no
assurance that a money fund
will maintain a $1 share price.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Scott Orr, Portfolio
Manager of Spartan Arizona
Municipal Money Market Portfolio
Q. SCOTT, WHAT KIND OF AN INVESTMENT CLIMATE HAVE YOU BEEN OPERATING IN FOR
THE PAST YEAR?
A. We've seen both sides of Federal Reserve policy since the fund began
operating last October - tightening and easing. Last fall, the Fed was
still concerned with slowing down the pace of economic growth and
preventing an outbreak of inflation. There already had been five increases
during 1994 in the federal funds rate - the interest rate banks charge each
other for overnight loans - and two more would follow: a
three-quarter-point increase in November 1994 and a one-half-point increase
in February 1995. That brought the federal funds rate to an even 6%,
exactly double the rate of a year earlier. By that time, evidence of an
economic slowdown was accumulating, confirmed with the release of the
first-quarter growth rate in the gross domestic product, which came in at a
modest 2.7% compared to 5.1% during the fourth quarter of 1994. Hoping to
achieve its so-called soft landing for the economy, the Fed retreated to
the sidelines. But as growth slowed even further in the second quarter, the
Fed shifted into an easing mode, trimming one-quarter percentage point off
the federal funds rate in July.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY DURING THE PERIOD?
A. After the startup period, the fund's average maturity settled in at
around 30 days in January. Six months ago, at the end of February, it was
35 days. I kept it between 30 and 40 days throughout the spring and early
summer; although rates were declining then, supplies were limited and what
few longer-term fixed rate securities were available were often what I
considered too expensive. Then, as we entered the summer borrowing season,
and more new issues entered the market, I moved to extend the fund's
average maturity toward a target of about 60 days. That number has since
varied, sometimes dramatically, as securities have matured and been
replaced, but my target has remained the same. On August 31, 1995, the
fund's average maturity was 60 days.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund's seven-day yield on August 31, 1995, was 3.72%, compared to
4.15% on February 28, 1995. The latest yield was the equivalent of a
taxable yield of 6.16% for investors in the 39.58% combined state and
federal tax bracket. The fund's total return for the life of the fund,
beginning October 12, 1994, was 3.43%. That beat the total return of 2.79%
during the same period for the average all tax-free money market fund,
according to IBC/Donoghue.
Q. WHAT'S THE OUTLOOK?
A. I believe the next Fed move will be another rate cut; the question is
when. The second quarter growth rate in the economy was only 1.1% - less
than the first-quarter growth rate and well below the Fed's target rate of
2.5%. Given that, coupled with benign inflationary pressures, the Fed may
feel compelled to act sooner rather than later. On the other hand, the
economy has been showing some mixed signs of strength today, suggesting the
Fed may hold off for awhile, possibly until after the first of the year.
With all the uncertainty, now is probably not the time to aggressively
extend the fund's average maturity. Instead, I'll probably aim to preserve
some flexibility by staying within a range of 50-60 days.

WORDS TO KNOW
COMMERCIAL PAPER: A security
issued by a municipality to
finance capital or operating
needs.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The interest
rate banks charge each other
for overnight loans.
MATURITY: The time remaining
before an issuer is scheduled
to repay the principal amount
on a debt security. When the
fund's average maturity -
weighted by dollar amount -
is short, the fund manager is
anticipating a rise in interest
rates. When the average
maturity is long, the manager
is expecting rates to fall.
When the average maturity is
neutral, the manager wants
the flexibility to respond to
rising rates, while still
capturing a portion of the
higher yields available from
issues with longer maturities.
MUNICIPAL NOTE: A security
issued in advance of future
tax or other revenues and
payable from those specific
sources.
TENDER BOND: A variable-rate,
long-term security that gives
the bond holder the option to
redeem the bond at face
value before maturity.
VARIABLE RATE DEMAND NOTE
(VRDN): A tender bond that
can be redeemed on short
notice, typically one or seven
days. VRDNs are useful in
managing the fund's average
maturity and liquidity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended August 31, 1995
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Spartan Arizona Municipal Income Portfolio (the income fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Union Street Trust. Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market
Portfolio (the money market fund) is a fund of Fidelity Union Street Trust
II. Each trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company.
Fidelity Union Street Trust and Fidelity Union Street Trust II (the trusts)
are organized as a Massachusetts business trust and a Delaware business
trust, respectively. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number
of shares. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of
the funds:
SECURITY VALUATION.
INCOME FUND. 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.
MONEY MARKET FUND. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and
thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
INCOME TAXES. The funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. By so qualifying, the
funds will not be subject to income taxes to the extent that they
distribute substantially all of their taxable income for their fiscal
years. The schedules 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. For the
money market fund, accretion of market discount represents unrealized gain
until realized at the time of a security disposition or maturity.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of each 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, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for futures
and options transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales, futures and
options, and excise tax regulations.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the income 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.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Each 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
market value of the securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
forward commitment basis are identified as such in the money market fund's
schedule of investments. Each fund may receive compensation for interest
forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery security. Losses may arise
due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the
counterparty does not perform under the contract.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The income fund may use futures and options
contracts to manage its exposure to the bond markets and to fluctuations in
interest rates. Buying futures, writing puts, and buying calls tend to
increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Selling futures,
buying puts, and writing calls tend to decrease the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument, or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts
and written options involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of
the futures variation margin or the option value reflected in the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value is shown in
the schedule of investments under the caption "Futures Contracts". This
amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at
period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying
instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or
if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options 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.
INCOME FUND. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $15,751,792 and $3,682,970, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $792,246 and $451,250, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each 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% and .50% of average net assets
for the income and money market funds, respectively.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to each fund. To
offset the cost of providing these services, FMR or its affiliates
collected certain transaction fees from shareholders which amounted to $90
and $281 for the income and money market funds, respectively.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the money market fund's investment sub-adviser, FMR
Texas Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of
50% of the management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any
voluntary expense reimbursements which may be in effect, and after reducing
the fee for any payments by FMR pursuant to the fund's Distribution and
Service Plan.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the funds' operating expenses
(excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses) above a specified percentage of average net assets.
INCOME FUND. For the period, this expense limitation ranged from an annual
rate of 0% to .10% of average net assets and the reimbursement reduced
expenses by $33,511.
MONEY MARKET FUND. For the period, this expense limitation ranged from an
annual rate of 0% to .10% of average net assets and the reimbursement
reduced expenses by $110,107.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Union Street Trust and Fidelity Union Street
Trust II and the Shareholders of Spartan Arizona Municipal Income Portfolio
and Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of
Fidelity Union Street Trust: Spartan Arizona Municipal Income Portfolio
(income fund) and Fidelity Union Street Trust II: Spartan Arizona Municipal
Money Market Portfolio (money market fund), including the schedules of
portfolio investments as of August 31, 1995, the related statements of
operations, the statements of changes in net assets, and the financial
highlights for the period October 11, 1994 (commencement of operations) to
August 31, 1995 for the income fund, and the period October 12, 1994
(commencement of operations) to August 31, 1995 for the money market fund.
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility
of the funds' 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, 1995, by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our 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 Arizona Municipal Income Portfolio
and Fidelity Union Street Trust II: Spartan Arizona Municipal Money Market
Portfolio as of August 31, 1995, the results of their operations, the
changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the period
October 11, 1994 (commencement of operations) to August 31, 1995 for the
income fund, and the period October 12, 1994 (commencement of operations)
to August 31, 1995 for the money market fund, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although the markets have been fairly positive this year, no one can
predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
If you can leave your money invested over the long term, you can avoid the
results of the volatility that generally accompanies the stock market in
the short term, as we witnessed last year. You also can help to manage some
of the risks of investing through diversification. A stock fund is already
diversified because it invests in many issues. You can diversify even
further by placing some of your money in several different types of stock
funds or in other investment categories, such as bonds.
If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to consider
moving some of your investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain
amount of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for 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
performance figure includes changes in a fund's share price, plus
reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits
the fund earns when it sells securities that have grown in value). Export
Fund has a 3% sales charge which has been waived since the fund's start on
October 4, 1994 through December 31, 1995.

Export Fund 35.56% 42.34%
S&P 500(registered trademark) 16.81% 24.73%
Average Growth Fund 18.65% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect the fund's actual performance over a set
period - in this case, six months, or since the fund began on October 4,
1994. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return
over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can
compare the fund's returns to the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500
Stocks - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. To measure how the
fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the
average growth fund, which reflects the performance of 597 funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past six
months. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if
any.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
AVERAGE ANNUAL 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 Fidelity
Export Fund on October 4, 1994, when the fund started. As the chart shows,
by August 31, 1995, the value of your investment would have grown to
$14,234 - a 42.34% increase on your initial investment. For comparison,
look at how the S&P 500 did over the same period. With dividends
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment in the S&P 500 would have grown to
$12,473 - a 24.73% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. The stock market,
for example, has a history of
growth in the long run and
volatility in the short run. In
turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in
stocks 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.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
Although stock prices dropped
somewhat in August, strong
corporate earnings and a
favorable interest rate
environment helped the U.S.
stock market post strong returns
for the 12 months ended August
31, 1995. The Standard & Poor's
Composite Index of 500 Stocks
finished the 12-month period with
a total return of 21.45% - well
above its historical annual
average of roughly 12%. With
inflation posing little threat,
interest rates fell during the first
half of 1995. The Federal Reserve
Board cut the Federal funds rate
- - the rate banks charge each
other for overnight loans - by
0.25% on July 6 to 5.75%.
Large-capitalization stocks led the
somewhat narrow market rally.
Technology companies - whose
goods and services benefited
from both corporate and
consumer demand - posted the
strongest earnings growth and
stock price gains. In February, the
Dow Jones Industrial Average
closed above 4000 for the first
time. Returns from foreign
markets suffered as investors
brought capital back to the U.S.
The Morgan Stanley Emerging
Markets Free Index was down
16.40% for the 12 months ended
August 31. The Morgan Stanley
EAFE (Europe, Australia, Far
East) Index returned 0.49% for the
year ended August 31. European
markets have fared well through
the first half of 1995 - after a
difficult year in 1994 - while the
Japanese market has struggled
through much of the year.
An interview with Arieh Coll,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Export Fund
Q. ARIEH, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. Extremely well, even better than I had hoped! The fund had a total
return of 42.34% from its start date - October 4, 1994 - through August 31,
1995. This was substantially better than the average growth fund tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services. For the closest available comparison to its
peers, we can look at the period from October 6, 1994, through August 31,
1995. During that time, the fund rose 48.43%, compared to 25.13% for the
average growth fund.
Q. WHAT STRATEGY LED TO THE FUND'S EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE?
A. The key was focusing on what I call "export companies," companies that
derive - or anticipate to derive - at least 10% of their annual revenues
from sales of exported goods or services. Fidelity launched the Export Fund
based on the premise that over the past 10 years a theoretical universe of
these "export companies" has outperformed the S&P 500. So far, the fund's
results have been even better.
Q. CAN YOU GIVE US MORE DETAILS ABOUT YOUR STRATEGY?
A. Sure. There are two parts to my strategy. First, I look for industries
that seem to be benefiting from major secular trends. Second, I try to
uncover outstanding companies at reasonable prices. Two areas I am
investing in are cellular communications and cable TV equipment. There were
24 million cellular telephones sold worldwide in 1994, and this number is
expected to reach 100 million by the year 2000. In places like China and
India, people often buy a cellular phone rather than a traditional phone to
bypass the six-month waiting lists. My favorite companies that are
benefiting from this tremendous growth are Nokia, Ericsson, and Motorola.
My cable TV investments are based on a similar observation. About 63
million American households have cable TV. There are over 5 billion people
in the rest of the world, yet few have cable TV. It's only a matter of time
until they start subscribing to services such as HBO and CNN. Dozens of
countries from Argentina to England are building cable TV networks. They
are buying cable TV equipment from exporters such as TSX and C-COR
Electronics, which have been large holdings in the fund.
Q. GREAT, BUT HOW CAN YOU TELL IF THESE STOCKS ARE WORTH BUYING?
A. It takes a lot of homework. I research companies by speaking with
management and competitors, reading hundreds of annual reports, dozens of
trade journals, and traveling throughout the country.
For any one company this legwork helps me to project earnings over a number
of years. Then, I determine a reasonable price-to-earnings ratio for that
earnings stream. Multiplying the earnings by that price-to-earnings
multiple gives me a target price that I believe the stock can reach. This
process is repeated hundreds of times. After all this work, I purchase the
companies that I feel have the highest expected appreciation over the next
18 to 24 months.
Q. A LOT OF YOUR INVESTMENTS HAVE DONE WELL, SO WHEN DO YOU SELL THEM?
A. Ideally never, but in reality I sell a stock in the following three
situations:
1) If it reaches my expected price target.
2) If I find other more attractive companies to invest in, then the least
attractive company is bumped off the buy list.
3) Sometimes I have to revise downward my estimate of a company's value,
after realizing that I was overly optimistic in my prior assessment of the
company's prospects.
Q. SO WHAT KIND OF DISAPPOINTMENTS DID YOU HAVE THIS YEAR?
A. Aldila and Polaris are two examples. Aldila is an exclusive supplier of
golf shafts to Callaway Golf, but Callaway did not renew the contract.
Polaris sells snowmobiles and suffered from an unusually warm winter with
minimal snowfall. Polaris also buys engines for its watercraft from Japan
and was hurt by the rising value of the Japanese yen, which the company had
not adequately hedged.
Q. SO HOW OFTEN DO THE FLUCTUATIONS IN THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR HARM THE
FUND?
A. Normally, not too often. I consciously seek out investments in firms
that I believe have sustainable competitive advantages from superior
products that will thrive even if the value of the dollar rises. Microsoft
sells the world's most popular PC software, but no Japanese company is
going to beat Microsoft because of a weaker yen. Currency fluctuations do
not hurt Microsoft's stock price either, since investors normally focus on
a company's core growth rate, excluding the impact of currency movements.
The bottom line is that the value of the dollar will fluctuate, but
exporters should prosper as long as they focus on producing world class
products. That said, the fund does have some exposure to foreign currencies
through the portion of its investments in foreign stocks.
Q. SO WHAT IS THE OUTLOOK FOR THE EXPORT SECTOR?
A. Good. For years it was fashionable to ridicule American businesses for
inventing the automobile or computer chip, and then letting the Japanese
steal market share. Well, things seem to have changed. Well-planned and
executed investments in research, marketing and production have led to a
resurgence in U.S. competitiveness. American industry is now a leader in
many rapidly growing industries such as computers, software, health care,
and consumer products. Even the auto industry has gained ground against
Japan. Many of America's exporters are also expanding faster than our more
mature domestic companies. Exporters on the whole have experienced more
rapid earnings growth than many multinational or domestic companies over
the past few years. This is often due to exporters' superior products and
aggressive management, which lead them to seek bigger markets by selling
their goods and services overseas.
Q. WHAT FACTORS AFFECT THE OVERALL RISK OF THE FUND?
A. We discussed risk in the fund's last shareholder report, but it helps to
reiterate a few key points. First, successful exporters tend to be
clustered in a few industries - technology and health care are two
examples. Bad news that emerges regarding such industries could negatively
impact the fund more than some of its growth-fund peers. In addition, the
fund favors small- and medium-sized companies, often in fast-growing
industries. While these stocks have the potential for strong gains in the
long term, they're often more volatile than larger stocks. Finally, I
prefer to weight the fund's assets in its top 20 or so investments. Those
are my best ideas. While I believe that strategy will help the fund achieve
long-term success, it also may contribute to volatility in the short run.
Q. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE BULLISH ON EXPORTERS. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK ON THE
FUND?
A. I think that the fund will continue to do well, however, it will be
difficult to match the results of the past year. Stock prices seem to be
reasonable, and declining interest rates should further boost the stock
market. In addition, I am confident that many of the companies I have
invested in have outstanding management and sustainable competitive
advantages. For example, i-STAT has the world's best bedside blood
analyzers. Exide is considered to be the lowest-cost producer of batteries.
Printronix is rapidly gaining market share with its superior dot matrix
printers. Microsoft is continuing to conquer the world. Companies such as
these make me optimistic about prospects for the Export Fund.

ARIEH COLL ON HIS INVESTING
PHILOSOPHY:
"I have several personal rules
of investing that I try to
remember each time I buy
and sell a stock. They include:
(solid bullet) DON'T LOSE MONEY. It's as
important, if not more
important, to limit losses as it
is to secure gains. Substantial
losses often prove difficult to
make up.
(solid bullet) INVEST WITHIN MY CIRCLE OF
COMPETENCE. If I don't feel
completely comfortable with
an investment, I stay away.
(solid bullet) STAY FOCUSED. I try to avoid
distractions that interfere
with my research. The reality
is that the more time one
spends doing basic research,
the more great companies
one will likely uncover.
(solid bullet) BE PATIENT. It may seem
obvious to me that a
company's stock is
undervalued, but sometimes it
takes a while for the stock
market to agree and push up
the price.
(solid bullet) INVEST WITH CONVICTION. If I
really like a company, I try to
buy a lot of its stock. Great
investment ideas don't pop up
every day.

For the period ended August 31, 1995
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Export 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 for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities (including resricted securities) for which
exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange), are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in good
faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision
of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within sixty days
of their purchase date are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus
accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION.
The accounting records of the fund are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a
foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates
of exchange at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income
receipts, and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the
prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent
net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward currency
contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions,
and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and
the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The effects of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the
net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. The fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company
under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. By so qualifying, the fund
will not be subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes
substantially 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment income
is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions 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, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for net
operating losses 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 the per-share allocation between net investment income (loss) and
realized and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net realized
gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions may include
temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse in a subsequent
period. 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.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may use foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage
the fund's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to
acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to
hedge the fund's investments against currency fluctuations. Also, a
contract to buy or sell can offset a previous contract. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties
do not perform under the contracts' terms.
The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency contracts is determined
using forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and any realized gain (loss) is
recognized on the date of offset; otherwise, gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission(the SEC), the fund, along with other
affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (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.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency Securities, the market
value of
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - CONTINUED
which is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price. For term
repurchase agreement transactions, the underlying securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
repurchase price. FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities that
are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration
or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt
sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At period end, the fund had
no investments in restricted securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $782,981,189 and $369,667,640, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .2700% to .5200% for the period. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period,
FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same
or a lower management fee. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. For
the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .61%
of average net assets.
SALES LOAD. For the period October 4, 1994 (commencement of operations)
through December 31, 1995, Fidelity Distributors Corporation, an affiliate
of FMR and the general distributor of the fund, will voluntarily waive the
sales charge (3.00% of the offering price) on the sales of shares.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is
the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent.
During the period October 4, 1994 to December 31, 1994, FSC received fees
based on the type, size, number of accounts and the number of transactions
made by shareholders. Effective January 1, 1995, the Board of Trustees
approved a revised transfer agent contract pursuant to which FSC receives
account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and
type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all
shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is
based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket
expenses.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $200,964 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 period for which loans were outstanding amounted
to $13,071,000 and $3,350,571, respectively. The weighted average interest
rate was 6.4%.
6. TRANSACTIONS WITH
AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of at
least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the period with
companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although the markets have been fairly positive this year, no one can
predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving
for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and downs in a
long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An intermediate-length
fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is two to four years,
and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money
in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for you.

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. A fund's total
return 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 on an average sized account. You can also look at the fund's
income to measure performance.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

Spartan Aggressive Municipal 7.96% 14.74%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index 8.87% n/a
Average High Yield Municipal Bond Fund 7.41% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.62% 6.18%
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, the value of your investment would be $1,050.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond index - a broad gauge of the municipal bond market.
To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can
compare it to the average high yield municipal bond fund, which reflects
the performance of 35 funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services over the past 12 months. Both benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's
performance to the consumer price index (CPI) 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
Aggressive Municipal Fund on April 30, 1993, shortly after the fund
started. As the chart shows, by August 31, 1995, the value of your
investment with dividends reinvested would have grown to $11,462 - a 14.62%
increase on your initial investment. This assumes you still owned the fund
on August 31, 1995 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 $11,393 - a 13.93% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally 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 on an average sized account.

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 $9.80 over
the past month, $9.85 over the past six months and $9.62 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, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
The municipal bond market
posted strong returns for the 12
months ended August 31, 1995.
For the 12-month period, the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad measure of the
tax-free market - had a total return
of 8.87%. By comparison, the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index - a proxy of
investment-grade taxable bonds
- - returned 11.30%. A strong rally
starting in November 1994
helped municipal bonds recover
from the effects of the sharply
rising interest rate environment
seen through much of 1994. A
relatively tame inflationary
environment coupled with
indications of a slowing economy
encouraged bond investors,
helping to push interest rates down
throughout the period. In addition,
the Federal Reserve Board -
seeking to prevent the economy
from going into recession -
eased formerly tight credit
conditions by lowering the fed
funds rate - the rate banks
charge each other for overnight
loans - by 0.25% on July 6 to
5.75%. Performance among
taxable and tax-free issues was
not uniform during the period.
While municipal bonds performed
better than comparable Treasury
issues in the first quarter of 1995,
this trend reversed later in the year.
Ongoing concerns related to the
bankruptcy of Orange County,
California, and the threat of tax
reform dampened investor
interest, causing muni prices to
compress relative to taxable
issues. The rally rekindled at the
end of August, aided by a
tightening supply of municipal
debt securities.
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS: On
October 1, 1995, Tanya Roy (right photo) became portfolio manager of
Spartan Aggressive Municipal Fund. The following is an interview with
Maureen Newman - who managed the fund during the period covered by this
report - with some comments from Tanya Roy on her outlook for the municipal
bond market and her investment strategy.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, MAUREEN?
M.N. Fairly well compared to its peers. For the 12-month period ended
August 31, 1995, the fund had a total return of 7.96%. That compared to the
average high yield municipal fund's total return of 7.41% for the same
period, as tracked by Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND OUTPACE THE AVERAGE?
M.N. There were several factors. One was the fund's stake in high-quality
bonds rated Aaa and Aa, which stood at 24.9% of investments at the end of
the period. About six months ago, I started selling some of the fund's
lower-rated bonds and replaced them with higher-quality issues. Here's why:
the difference - or the spread - between the yields of bonds of various
credit ratings was quite small, or tight. When credit spreads are tight,
investors aren't rewarded with much additional yield for buying
lower-quality bonds. Since that time, high-quality bonds have performed
very well, partly because their prices tend to move up first when the bond
market rallies. Also, heightened credit concerns caused credit spreads to
widen again, resulting in the outperformance of high-quality bonds.
Q. WERE THERE ANY BONDS IN PARTICULAR THAT DID WELL?
M.N. Yes. The fund's performance was helped by the proposed acquisition of
the Denver hospital system by Columbia/HCA. The fund's stake in these
Denver hospital bonds made up 3.5% of investments at the end of the period.
The prices of these bonds rose substantially in anticipation of the
acquisition which is slated to occur at the beginning of October.
Industrial revenue bonds issued for Delta Airlines also rose as the
company's cost-cutting programs and improved revenues helped the airline's
financial position.
Q. WHICH INVESTMENTS DIDN'T WORK OUT AS WELL FOR THE FUND?
M.N. Except for the Denver hospital bonds I mentioned earlier, most health
care bonds continued to lag the market. A trend toward consolidation caused
many investors to be wary of this sector. Housing bonds, too,
underperformed. In this case, investors seemed to be worried that declining
interest rates might mean an increase in the level of pre-payments for
these bonds.
Q. HOW DID YOU ALTER THE WAY YOU DISTRIBUTED THE FUND'S HOLDINGS AMONG
BONDS WITH VARIOUS MATURITIES?
M.N. Up until the early summer, the yield curve - which measures the
yields on bonds with various maturities - flattened. As the yield curve
flattens, investors usually aren't rewarded with much additional yield for
buying bonds with longer-term maturities. So as the yield curve flattening
occurred, I moved more of the fund's investments out of longer-term bonds
with maturities of 20 years or more, and into intermediate bonds with
maturities between 10 to 15 years. But by mid-summer, the yield curve began
to steepen once again, and investors again were rewarded with enough
additional yield to warrant buying longer-term bonds. At that point, I
began buying some bonds with maturities of 15 to 20 years.
Q. WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE FUND'S STATE CONCENTRATIONS?
M.N. I added to the fund's stake in New York bonds at a time when the
supply of New York bonds was relatively heavy. That allowed me to purchase
these bonds at prices I considered to be relatively attractive. I reduced
the fund's stake in certain bonds that I thought might be perceived to be
affected by Los Angeles' fiscal problems, and replaced them with insured
bonds. Finally, I reduced the fund's stake in Michigan by selling one
short-term security.
Q. TURNING TO TANYA, WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
T.R. While it's likely that further public discussion about the flat tax
and other federal tax reform proposals could make the municipal market
volatile, I don't believe we'll see a flat tax for at least two years, if
at all. I believe that the recent bond market rally could pause in the near
future, which could result in total returns being more dependent on income
than price appreciation.

ARIEH COLL ON HIS INVESTING
PHILOSOPHY:
"I have several personal rules
of investing that I try to
remember each time I buy
and sell a stock. They include:
(solid bullet) DON'T LOSE MONEY. It's as
important, if not more
important, to limit losses as it
is to secure gains. Substantial
losses often prove difficult to
make up.
(solid bullet) INVEST WITHIN MY CIRCLE OF
COMPETENCE. If I don't feel
completely comfortable with
an investment, I stay away.
(solid bullet) STAY FOCUSED. I try to avoid
distractions that interfere
with my research. The reality
is that the more time one
spends doing basic research,
the more great companies
one will likely uncover.
(solid bullet) BE PATIENT. It may seem
obvious to me that a
company's stock is
undervalued, but sometimes it
takes a while for the stock
market to agree and push up
the price.
(solid bullet) INVEST WITH CONVICTION. If I
really like a company, I try to
buy a lot of its stock. Great
investment ideas don't pop up
every day.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended August 31, 1995
1. 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 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 substantially 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 interest 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, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for futures
and options transactions, market discount and losses deferred due to wash
sales, futures and options 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 the per-share allocation between net interest income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net realized gain
(loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax basis differences
that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable 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 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.
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
market value of the securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
forward commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the
purchase of a delayed delivery security. Losses may arise due to changes in
the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may use futures and options
contracts to manage its exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in
interest rates. Buying futures, writing puts, and buying calls tend to
increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Selling futures,
buying puts, and writing calls tend to decrease the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument, or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts
and written options involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of
the futures variation margin or the option value reflected in the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value is shown in
the schedule of investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This
amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at
period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying
instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or
if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options 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 $40,102,266 and $31,120,359, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $11,869,848 and $9,979,033, 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 .60% of the fund's average net
assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to each fund. To
offset the cost of providing these services, FMR or its affiliates collect
certain transaction fees from the funds' shareholders which amounted to
$1,265.
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
Fidelity Union Street Trust: Spartan Aggressive Municipal Fund, including
the schedule of portfolio investments, as of August 31, 1995, 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 two years in the period 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 confirmation of
securities owned as of August 31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers. An audit also includes

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although the markets have been fairly positive this year, no one can
predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving
for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and downs in a
long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An intermediate-length
fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is two to four years,
and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money
in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for 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. A fund's total
return 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 on an average sized account. You can also look at the fund's
income to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the life of fund figures would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1995 PAST 1 LIFE OF
YEAR FUND
Spartan Ginnie Mae 11.27% 42.38%
Salomon Brothers GNMA Pass-Through 11.39% n/a
Index
Average GNMA Fund 10.16% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.62% 14.28%
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, the value of your investment would be $1,050.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Salomon
Brothers GNMA Pass-Through Index - a broad measure of the GNMA market. To
measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can
compare it to the average GNMA fund, which reflects the performance of 52
GNMA funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Analytical Services
over the past 12 months. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer
price index (CPI) 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.

$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, 1995, the value of your investment would
have grown to $14,213 - a 42.13% increase on your initial investment. This
assumes you still owned the fund on August 31, 1995 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 $14,712 - a
47.12% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally 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 on an average sized account.

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 $9.91 over
the past month, $9.84 over the past six months and $9.63 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.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
U.S. bond markets posted strong
returns during the 12 months
ended August 31, 1995. For the
12-month period, the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index
- - a broad measure of U.S.
taxable bonds - had a total return
of 11.30%. A strong rally starting in
November 1994 helped bonds
recover from the effects of the
sharply rising interest rate
environment seen through much
of 1994. Indications of a slowing
economy and controlled inflation
encouraged bond investors,
helping to push interest rates
down. In addition, the Federal
Reserve Board - seeking to
prevent the economy from going
into recession after raising
short-term interest rates seven
successive times in 1994 and
1995 - eased monetary policy by
lowering the fed funds rate - the
rate banks charge each other for
overnight loans - by 0.25% on
July 6 to 5.75%. Mortgage-backed
securities rode along with the rally.
The Salomon Brothers Mortgage
Index returned 10.95% during the
period. Outside of the U.S.,
markets had mixed returns.
Emerging markets rallied
somewhat from the lows caused
by Mexico's peso devaluation in
December 1994. The J.P. Morgan
Emerging Markets Bond Index
returned 3.52% during the
12-month period. Declining
interest rates and a weak U.S.
dollar helped the Salomon
Brothers World Government Bond
Index - which includes U.S.
issues - to post a 14.47% return.

Q. KEVIN, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. For the 12 months ended August 31, 1995, the fund had a total return of
11.27%. That compares to a total return of 10.16% for the average GNMA fund
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services for the same 12-month period. The
Salomon Brothers GNMA Pass-Through Index returned 11.39% for the 12 months
ended August 31.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND PERFORM BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE GNMA FUND?
A. During the period, Ginnie Maes generally outperformed Treasury bonds and
other securities in the mortgage-backed security market. I believe other
managers probably held higher percentages of their funds in Treasuries,
while I kept the fund invested mostly in Ginnie Maes. In addition, much of
the investor community probably was "caught short" when the bond market
started rallying in the beginning of the year. That is, other funds'
durations - their sensitivity to changes in interest rates - probably were
a bit lower than this fund's, meaning many other funds did not benefit from
the drop in interest rates as much as Spartan Ginnie Mae Fund.
Q. WHAT HAS THE BACKDROP FOR MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES AND GINNIE MAES
BEEN LIKE OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. For most of the period, Ginnie Maes performed well, riding along with
the general bond market rally. Then, in June, the mortgage market lagged
somewhat, as investors became concerned that the drop in interest rates
would lead to increased prepayment activity - when mortgage holders pay off
and refinance their loans to take advantage of lower interest rates. In
late June and July, that situation reversed itself and the mortgage market
performed well, relative to Treasuries. In August, Ginnie Maes pretty much
tracked Treasuries. Ginnie Maes, specifically, were among the best
performing agency mortgage-backed securities during the past six months.
Q. WHERE HAVE YOU FOUND OPPORTUNITIES?
A. The past six months were interesting for their absence of value
opportunities. I use extensive quantitative analysis to try to find
securities that appear undervalued in the marketplace - those whose prices
are low relative to their potential fair-value price. For a value
opportunity to emerge, it's as if you need to get the market standing on
"one side of the boat," attracted to particular securities. I look for
cheap securities on the "other side of the boat," aiming for solid
performance when the market starts heading back toward the "middle of the
boat." Not much happened like this in the past six months; the market
remained fairly stable, with no group of securities becoming particularly
overvalued or undervalued.
Q. WHY IS THAT?
A. I believe it's because many managers learned a painful lesson during a
rough 1994, with few people taking risky positions this time around.
Because of the rally, market participants would have benefited from taking
a more aggressive stance. As it worked out, though, most of them seem to
have tracked the market.
Q. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR STRATEGY IN THIS STABLE ENVIRONMENT?
A. I am a value-oriented investor. Ginnie Maes performed well, becoming
over-priced relative to other mortgage-backed securities, as people flocked
to them during the rally. That's a typical progression of events because
the market tends to think of Ginnie Maes as somewhat prepayment protected;
they are smaller loans, and Ginnie Mae borrowers tend to be less aggressive
in refinancing than borrowers in other agency programs. I took advantage of
this increase in Ginnie Mae values, by moving a portion of the fund out of
Ginnie Maes into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Mortgage-backed securities are presently priced cheaper relative to U.S.
Treasuries than the average of the past 10 years. That kind of situation
usually doesn't last very long. Given that, I believe mortgages have the
potential to outperform Treasuries over the coming year. One situation that
could cause concern would be if interest rates go down around 1%. That
could cause prepayments to increase and mortgage-backed securities to
underperform Treasuries. We're at a point right now where the average
interest rate on outstanding mortgages is around 7.6%, while new mortgages
are being offered at just below 7.8%. You can see how a drop in interest
rates could increase prepayments. But even if we were to see a significant
fall in interest rates and a marked increase in prepayments, that would be
good for my style of management, because it would create value
opportunities, shaking things up enough to send people to "one side of the
boat."

ARIEH COLL ON HIS INVESTING
PHILOSOPHY:
"I have several personal rules
of investing that I try to
remember each time I buy
and sell a stock. They include:
(solid bullet) DON'T LOSE MONEY. It's as
important, if not more
important, to limit losses as it
is to secure gains. Substantial
losses often prove difficult to
make up.
(solid bullet) INVEST WITHIN MY CIRCLE OF
COMPETENCE. If I don't feel
completely comfortable with
an investment, I stay away.
(solid bullet) STAY FOCUSED. I try to avoid
distractions that interfere
with my research. The reality
is that the more time one
spends doing basic research,
the more great companies
one will likely uncover.
(solid bullet) BE PATIENT. It may seem
obvious to me that a
company's stock is
undervalued, but sometimes it
takes a while for the stock
market to agree and push up
the price.
(solid bullet) INVEST WITH CONVICTION. If I
really like a company, I try to
buy a lot of its stock. Great
investment ideas don't pop up
every day.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended August 31, 1995
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 market 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 substantially 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 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, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for paydown
gains/losses on certain 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 the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Distributions in excess of net investment
income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on
investments may include temporary book and tax basis differences that will
reverse in a subsequent period. 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.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other affiliated
entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (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.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency Securities, the market
value of which is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price.
For term repurchase agreement transactions, the underlying securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
repurchase price. FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
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
market value of the securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
forward commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the
purchase of a delayed delivery security. Losses may arise due to changes in
the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of long-term U.S. government and government agency
obligations aggregated $871,658,289 and $872,256,838, 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. To
offset the cost of providing these services, FMR or its affiliates collect
certain transaction fees from the fund's shareholders which amounted to
$11,999 for the period.
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

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, 1995, by correspondence
with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our 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,
1995, 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 four 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:
Although the markets have been fairly positive this year, no one can
predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving
for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and downs in a
long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An intermediate-length
fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is two to four years,
and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money
in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for 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. A fund's total
return 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 on an average sized account. You can also look at the fund's
income to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses during the periods shown, the total returns, dividends and yields
would have been lower.

Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond 8.87% n/a
Index
Average Intermediate Municipal Bond 7.09% n/a
Fund
Consumer Price Index 2.62% 6.18%
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, the value of your investment would be $1,050.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a broad measure of the municipal bond
market. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers,
you can compare it to the average intermediate municipal bond fund, which
reflects the performance of 106 funds with similar objectives tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services over the past 12 months. Both benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's
performance to the consumer price index (CPI) 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, 1995, the value of your
investment with dividends reinvested would have grown to $11,341 - a 13.41%
increase on your initial investment. This assumes you still owned the fund
on August 31, 1995, 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 $11,393 - an 13.93% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally 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.

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 $9.92 over
the past month, $9.91 over the past six months and $9.72 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, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable. If the advisor had not reimbursed
certain portfolio expenses during the period shown, the yield and
tax-equivalent yield would have been 4.84% and 7.56%, respectively.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
The municipal bond market
posted strong returns for the 12
months ended August 31, 1995.
For the 12-month period, the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad measure of the
tax-free market - had a total return
of 8.87%. By comparison, the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index - a proxy of
investment-grade taxable bonds
- - returned 11.30%. A strong rally
starting in November 1994
helped municipal bonds recover
from the effects of the sharply
rising interest rate environment
seen through much of 1994. A
relatively tame inflationary
environment coupled with
indications of a slowing economy
encouraged bond investors,
helping to push interest rates down
throughout the period. In addition,
the Federal Reserve Board -
seeking to prevent the economy
from going into recession -
eased formerly tight credit
conditions by lowering the fed funds
rate - the rate banks charge
each other for overnight loans -
by 0.25% on July 6 to 5.75%.
Performance among taxable and
tax-free issues was not uniform
during the period. While municipal
bonds performed better than
comparable Treasury issues in the
first quarter of 1995, this trend
reversed later in the year. Ongoing
concerns related to the bankruptcy
of Orange County, California, and
the threat of tax reform
dampened investor interest,
causing municipal prices to
compress relative to taxable
issues. The rally rekindled at the
end of August, aided by a
tightening supply of municipal
debt securities.
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS: On
October 1, 1995, Norman Lind (right photo) became portfolio manager of
Spartan Intermediate Municipal Fund. The following is an interview with
David Murphy - who managed the fund during the period covered by this
report - with some comments from Norm Lind on his outlook for the fund and
the municipal market.
Q. DAVID, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
D.M. Fairly well compared to its peers. For the year ended August 31, 1995,
the fund had a total return of 7.49%. That compared to the average
intermediate municipal bond fund's return of 7.09% for the same period, as
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
D.M. One of the primary factors was the fund's structure. During the fall
of 1994, I had "barbelled" the fund. That means that most of the fund's
investments were in bonds with maturities of less than one year on one end
of the barbell, or in bonds with maturities between 10 and 15 years on the
other. I did that because the yield curve - the difference in yields
between bonds of various maturities - was steep. That meant that investors
were rewarded with a fairly significant amount of additional yield by
investing in bonds with longer maturities. Also, I expected the yield curve
to flatten, which it did throughout the early part of the spring of 1995.
When the yield curve flattens, the value of longer-term bonds can rise more
- - on a relative basis - than shorter-term bonds. When the flattening
occurred as I had expected, the barbell structure helped the fund's overall
performance.
Q. ONCE THAT FLATTENING HAD OCCURRED, DID YOU STRUCTURE THE FUND
DIFFERENTLY?
D.M. Yes, because I anticipated that the yield curve would steepen once
again. To take advantage of that steepening, I changed the fund so that it
had more of a "bulleted" structure, which is the opposite of a barbell.
With a bulleted structure, the fund has a heavy concentration in a
particular maturity range. In this case, I bulleted the fund with a heavy
concentration in bonds with maturities between five and 10 years. Because
the yield curve steepened fairly dramatically in the past six months,
having a bulleted structure also benefited the fund. At the end of the
period, I began to move back toward a more barbelled structure since I
anticipate the yield curve will not steepen much more.
Q. WHAT OTHER FACTORS HELPED PERFORMANCE?
D.M. Student loan bonds performed well over the past six months. These
bonds historically have been perceived to carry the risk of being paid off
prior to their scheduled maturities. To compensate for that risk, they
carry an above-average yield. Recently, however, the municipal bond market
seems to have realized that the risk of pre-payment for many of these
student loan programs is not that high, so investors became more willing to
pay a higher price to own these bonds. I sold some student loan bonds to
lock in their gains. However, student loan bonds remain attractive because
of their relatively high yields. Even after I sold some, they still
accounted for the fund's second-largest sector concentration at the end of
the period. Denver Airport bonds - which made up about 5.6% of the fund's
investments - also did quite well. You may recall that these bonds suffered
when the airport's opening was delayed. But once the airport opened in
February, the bonds performed quite well.
Q. THERE HAS BEEN SOME INCREASE IN THE FUND'S STAKE IN HIGH-RATED BONDS.
WHAT WAS BEHIND THAT MOVE?
D.M. That was related primarily to the selling of some student loan bonds,
most of which were rated A by Moody's Investors Service and the purchase of
Aaa-rated bonds. The difference in yields between bonds rated A and Aaa was
small, or tight, so when I made the switch to Aaa bonds, I didn't have to
sacrifice a lot of yield to upgrade the overall credit quality of the
portfolio.
Q. TURNING TO YOU NORM, WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE FUND?
N.L. I want to assure shareholders that David and I have been working
closely together for many years and that our investment philosophy and
style are similar. Therefore most of the changes I make to the fund's
holdings will result from market conditions and opportunities, rather than
from a different approach. Having said that, I'll probably continue the
process that David began toward the end of the period of moving the fund
toward more of a barbelled structure. Other than that, for the most part, I
will choose bonds with current prices I think understate their true value,
with the expectation that they will appreciate later and capture their full
value.

NORM LIND'S OUTLOOK FOR THE
MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET:
"There are several factors
that will determine the
municipal bond market's
direction over the next six
months. Chief among them is
the direction of the economy,
inflation and interest rates. In
my view, the economy is
currently at a pivotal point.
There aren't any definitive
signs about where we're
heading but there are three
choices: a "soft landing," in
which economic growth is
slow but steady and inflation
stays low; a recession; or a
fast-growing, inflationary
environment. Until that
question is resolved,
municipal prices are likely to
remain generally in their
current range.
"In the spring and summer,
talk of a flat tax - under
which all individuals would be
taxed at a uniform rate and
deductions would be eliminated
- - caused the municipal mar-ket
to be somewhat volatile. We
could see some continued
volatility as the flat tax and
other federal tax proposals
fade in and out of public
debate. In my view, it's
unlikely that a flat tax will be
enacted before 1997, if ever,
and the municipal bond
market overreacted.
"On a more positive note,
the net amount of municipal
bonds outstanding is
shrinking. Assuming that
demand for tax-free bonds
remains constant, lower
supply could be a positive
for the municipal market."

DURATION SHOWS HOW MUCH A BOND FUND'S PRICE FLUCTUATES WITH CHANGES IN
COMPARABLE INTEREST RATES. IF RATES RISE 1%, FOR EXAMPLE, A FUND WITH A
FIVE-YEAR DURATION IS LIKELY TO LOSE 5% OF ITS VALUE. OTHER FACTORS ALSO
CAN INFLUENCE A BOND FUND'S PERFORMANCE AND SHARE PRICE. ACCORDINGLY, A
BOND FUND'S ACTUAL PERFORMANCE MAY DIFFER FROM THIS EXAMPLE.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended August 31, 1995
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 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 substantially 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 interest 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, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for futures
and options transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales, futures and
options 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 the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net realized gain
(loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax basis differences
that will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable gain remaining at
fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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. Losses may arise due to changes in the
market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not
perform under the contract.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may use futures and options
contracts to manage its exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in
interest rates. Buying futures, writing puts, and buying calls tend to
increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Selling futures,
buying puts, and writing calls tend to decrease the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument, or hedge other fund investments. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is an
illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or if the counterparties do
not perform under the contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options 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 $95,753,523 and $130,371,016, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $98,745,441 and $99,152,911, 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. To
offset the cost of providing these services, FMR or its affiliates collect
certain transaction fees from the fund's shareholders which amounted to
$5,695 for the period.
5. 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 .30% to .45% of average net
assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by $289,444.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Union
Street Trust and the Shareholders of Spartan Intermediate Municipal Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Fidelity Union Street Trust: Spartan Intermediate Municipal Fund, including
the schedule of portfolio investments, as of August 31, 1995, 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 two years in the period then
ended and for the period April 26, 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, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 Intermediate Municipal Fund as of
August 31, 1995, 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 two years in the
period then ended and for the period April 26, 1993 (commencement of
operations) to August 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although the markets have been fairly positive this year, no one can
predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and
downs in a long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An
intermediate-length fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is
two to four years, and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if
you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for 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
securities that have grown in value), and the effect of the $5 account
closeout fee. You can also look at the fund's income to measure
performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses during
the periods shown, the total returns, dividends, and yields would have been
lower.

Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index 8.87% n/a
Average Maryland Municipal Bond 7.29% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.62% 6.18%
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 22, 1993. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a broad gauge of the municipal bond market.
To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can
compare it to the average Maryland municipal bond fund, which reflects the
performance of 24 Maryland municipal bond funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past 12 months. Both
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer price index (CPI) 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
Maryland Municipal Income Fund on April 30, 1993, shortly after the fund
started. As the chart shows, by August 31, 1995, the value of your
investment would have grown to $11,243 - a 12.43% increase on your initial
investment. This assumes you still own the fund on August 31, 1995 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 $11,393 - a 13.93% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally 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 $9.70 over
the past month, $9.71 over the past six months and $9.47 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 41.12% combined effective 1995 federal and state income tax bracket
but does not reflect payment of the federal alternative minimum tax, if
applicable. If the advisor had not reimbursed certain portfolio expenses
during the period shown, the yield and tax-equivalent yield would have been
5.00% and 8.49%, respectively.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
The municipal bond market posted
strong returns for the 12 months
ended August 31, 1995. For the
12-month period, the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a
broad measure of the tax-free
market - had a total return of
8.87%. By comparison, the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index - a proxy of
investment-grade taxable bonds -
returned 11.30%. A strong rally
starting in November 1994 helped
municipal bonds recover from the
effects of the sharply rising interest
rate environment seen through
much of 1994. A relatively tame
inflationary environment coupled
with indications of a slowing
economy encouraged bond
investors, helping to push interest
rates down throughout the period.
In addition, the Federal Reserve
Board - seeking to prevent the
economy from going into recession
- - eased formerly tight credit
conditions by lowering the fed funds
rate - the rate banks charge each
other for overnight loans - by 0.25%
on July 6 to 5.75%. Performance
among taxable and tax-free issues
was not uniform during the period.
While municipal bonds performed
better than comparable Treasury
issues in the first quarter of 1995, this
trend reversed later in the year.
Ongoing concerns related to the
bankruptcy of Orange County,
California and the threat of tax reform
dampened investor interest, causing
muni prices to compress relative to
taxable issues. The rally rekindled at
the end of August, aided by a
tightening supply of municipal debt
securities.
An interview with Steven Harvey,
Portfolio Manager of Spartan Maryland Municipal Income
Fund
Q. HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED, STEVE?
A. Fairly well compared to its peers. For the 12-month period ended August
31, 1995, the fund had a total return of 8.05%. This beat the average
Maryland tax-free bond fund, which returned 7.29% for the same period, as
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. WHAT ACCOUNTED FOR THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. The primary reason for the fund's above-average performance was its
duration. During most of the first quarter of 1995 - when the municipal
bond market rally was its strongest - the fund's duration was long relative
to other funds of its type. Generally speaking, the longer a fund's
duration, the more its share price can rise when interest rates fall, and,
conversely, fall when interest rates rise. As the municipal bond market
rallied and interest rates declined, having a long duration helped the
fund's performance.
Q. DID YOU CHANGE THE FUND'S DURATION IN THE SECOND QUARTER?
A. Yes, I shortened the fund's duration and moved it to a more neutral
stance, meaning it was more in line with the market as a whole. When
municipal bonds hit some rough spots in the spring and summer, having this
neutral duration made the fund less sensitive than it was previously to
this market volatility. I did that because the yield curve, or difference
in yield among bonds of various maturities, was relatively flat between
bonds with 10- and 30-year maturities. When the curve is flat, investors
may not be rewarded with much additional yield by investing in very
long-maturity bonds. So in the spring, I sold some bonds with maturities
longer than 20 years, and bought bonds in the five- to 15-year maturity
range. By doing so, the fund's duration became shorter. Recently, the yield
curve has moved to historically steep levels. From here, I don't see the
curve steepening much more, so I've begun to reverse that strategy and have
added some longer-term bonds to take advantage of anticipated flattening of
the yield curve.
Q. DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS, YOU'VE INCREASED THE FUND'S STAKE IN
HIGH-QUALITY BONDS. ARE THE SHORTER DURATION AND YOUR MOVE TOWARD THESE
HIGHEST QUALITY BONDS RELATED?
A. In a way. Many of the longer-term bonds I sold also were lower,
investment-grade quality and many I bought were higher quality. Here's why:
There was a limited supply of lower-quality bonds available during the
rally and these bonds were in fairly high demand. Limited supply and heavy
demand translated into generally higher prices. As their prices rose, I
sold some lower-quality bonds, locked in their gains, and replaced them
with higher-quality bonds. The difference, or spread, between the yields
bonds with various credit ratings pay, was relatively small. So when I
exchanged lower-quality bonds for higher-quality issues, I wasn't forced to
sacrifice much yield in order to upgrade the overall credit quality of the
fund.
Q. THE ENVIRONMENT FOR HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY
MORE COMPETITIVE ACROSS THE NATION. HOW HAS THAT TREND AFFECTED MARYLAND
HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS?
A. Maryland is a tightly regulated state, so the changes we've seen in the
health care environment here have occurred in a more orderly way than in
much of the rest of the nation. In choosing specific investments, I look
for hospitals and other health care organizations that have strong market
share, successful alliances with health maintenance organizations (HMOs),
and the ability to provide a continuum of care at an attractive cost.
Greater Southeast Healthcare System, which has hospitals in Washington,
D.C., and in Maryland, and makes up about 5% of the fund's investments at
the end of the period, is a good example. However, we're watching this
issue very carefully because of the District's financial difficulties.
Q. WHAT'S THE OUTLOOK FOR MUNICIPAL BONDS OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. There are a number of things to consider. First is the interest rate
environment. For the balance of the year, I don't expect interest rates to
fall as dramatically as they did in the first half. Therefore, I believe
it's unlikely that municipal bond prices - which generally move in the
opposite direction of interest rates - will rise much, either. With that in
mind, I think investors would be wise to expect that the fund's returns
probably will derive largely from its level of income, rather than bond
price appreciation. Continued talk of federal tax reform could add some
volatility to the municipal market. The proposal that would cause the most
concern for the municipal market is the flat tax, under which all
individuals would be taxed at a uniform rate and deductions would be
eliminated. But my view is that the chances for a flat tax actually being
enacted are remote. On a more positive note, the supply of municipal bonds
should continue to remain low.

STEVEN HARVEY'S OUTLOOK
FOR THE MARYLAND ECONOMY:
"Maryland's economy and
fiscal situation ultimately will
dictate the overall credit
quality of bonds issued in the
state. That said, there hasn't
been much change in either
over the past year. The state's
budget remains balanced and
is projected to be so next year
as well. The Maryland
economy continues to
strengthen in line with the
nation, although, I think it's
unlikely it will benefit from an
economic boom like the one
we saw in the 1980s. That
spurt was driven largely by
the growth in construction and
government employment. I
don't see a lot of new
construction on the horizon
and I expect government
employment to continue to
shrink. However, those trends
may be offset by the potential
growth in the high technology
industry in both Maryland and
the District of Columbia."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended August 31, 1995
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 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 substantially 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, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for futures
and options transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales, futures and
options, and excise tax regulations.
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 use futures and options
contracts to manage its exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in
interest rates. Buying futures, writing puts, and buying calls tend to
increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Selling futures,
buying puts, and writing calls tend to decrease the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument, or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts
and written options involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of
the futures variation margin or the option value reflected in the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value is shown in
the schedule of investments under the caption "Futures Contracts". This
amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at
period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying
instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or
if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options 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 $27,937,178 and $26,788,263, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $14,492,509 and $15,439,170, 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. To
offset the cost of providing these services, FMR or its affiliates collect
certain transaction fees from the fund's shareholders which amounted to
$1,230 for the period.
5. 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 .25% of average net
assets and the reimbursement reduced expenses by $159,214.

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

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, 1995, by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our 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, 1995, 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

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although the markets have been fairly positive this year, no one can
predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving
for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and downs in a
long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An intermediate-length
fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is two to four years,
and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money
in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.

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. A fund's total
return 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 on an average sized account. You can also look at the fund's
income to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the past five years and life of fund figures would have been
lower.

Average General Municipal Bond Fund 7.34% 48.85% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.62% 16.19% 18.34%
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 June 4, 1990. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that
had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be
$1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond index - a broad measure of the municipal bond
market. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers,
you can compare it to the average general municipal bond fund, which
reflects the performance of 209 funds with similar objectives tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services over the past 12 months. Both benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any. Comparing the fund's
performance to the consumer price index (CPI) 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
Municipal Income Portfolio on June 30, 1990, shortly after the fund
started. As the chart shows, by August 31, 1995, the value of your
investment would have grown to $15,097 - a 50.97% increase on your initial
investment. This assumes you still owned the fund on August 31, 1995, 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 $15,201 - a 52.01% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally 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 on an average sized account.

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 $10.06 over
the past month, $10.07 over the past six months and $9.82 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, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
The municipal bond market
posted strong returns for the 12
months ended August 31, 1995.
For the 12-month period, the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad measure of the
tax-free market - had a total return
of 8.87%. By comparison, the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index - a proxy of
investment-grade taxable bonds
- - returned 11.30%. A strong rally
starting in November 1994
helped municipal bonds recover
from the effects of the sharply
rising interest rate environment
seen through much of 1994. A
relatively tame inflationary
environment coupled with
indications of a slowing economy
encouraged bond investors,
helping to push interest rates down
throughout the period. In addition,
the Federal Reserve Board -
seeking to prevent the economy
from going into recession -
eased formerly tight credit
conditions by lowering the fed
funds rate - the rate banks
charge each other for overnight
loans - by 0.25% on July 6 to
5.75%. Performance among
taxable and tax-free issues was
not uniform during the period.
While municipal bonds performed
better than comparable Treasury
issues in the first quarter of 1995,
this trend reversed later in the year.
Ongoing concerns related to the
bankruptcy of Orange County,
California, and the threat of tax
reform dampened investor
interest, causing muni prices to
compress relative to taxable
issues. The rally rekindled at the
end of August, aided by a
tightening supply of municipal
debt securities.
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS: On October 1, 1995, David Murphy (right photo)
became portfolio manager of Spartan Municipal Income Portfolio. The
following is an interview with Norman Lind - who managed the fund during
the period covered by this report - with some comments from David Murphy on
his outlook for the fund and the municipal bond market.
Q. NORM, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
N.L. Quite well compared to its peers. For the year ended August 31, 1995,
the fund had a total return of 8.19%. For the same 12-month period, the
average tax-free bond fund returned 7.34%, as tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND OUTPACE ITS PEERS?
N.L. The fund's fairly large weighting in deep-discount and non-callable
bonds was the primary factor in its better-than-average performance. In
late 1994, I had invested in out-of-favor deep-discount bonds, which sell
well below their stated value, and non-callable bonds, which can't be
redeemed by their issuers before their scheduled maturity. Because they
were unpopular with investors at the time, these bonds were priced cheaply
compared to what I thought to be their real value. Since the prices of both
tend to be relatively sensitive to changes in interest rates, they came
back in favor when interest rates fell in 1995, and their prices generally
rose which helped the fund's performance.
Q. DID DECLINING INTEREST RATES CAUSE YOU TO MODIFY YOUR STRATEGY?
N.L. Yes, especially in regard to how I distributed the fund among bonds
with various maturities. The yield curve, which measures the difference in
yield among bonds with various maturities, was relatively flat in late 1994
and early 1995. That meant that investors weren't rewarded with much
additional yield for buying bonds with longer maturities. As a result of
this flat curve, at the beginning of the period I started positioning the
fund so that it had a relatively heavy weighting in intermediate and
shorter-term bonds maturing in less than 15 years. That structure benefited
the fund's performance during the municipal bond market's rally because the
yield curve steepened dramatically as interest rates declined and the value
of shorter- and intermediate-term bonds rose more than that of longer-term
bonds.
Q. THE FUND'S STAKE IN HIGH-QUALITY BONDS INCREASED DURING THE PAST SIX
MONTHS. WHAT'S BEHIND THAT MOVE?
N.L. To compensate for their additional credit risk, lower-quality bonds
tend to offer higher yields than higher-quality bonds. During the municipal
bond market rally, however, the difference - or the spread - between the
yields that bonds with various credit qualities offered became very small.
As a result, investors weren't rewarded with much additional yield for
buying bonds with lower credit ratings. I was able to sell some
lower-quality bonds and buy higher-quality bonds without sacrificing much
yield as this tightening occurred. At the same time, I was able to improve
the overall credit quality of the fund. By the end of the period, the
fund's stake in bonds rated Aaa, Aa or A by Moody's Investors Service had
risen to 64.5% of investments, from 56.6% six months earlier.
Q. HOW HAVE YOU CHANGED THE WAY THE FUND IS INVESTED AMONG THE VARIOUS
STATES?
N.L. The most noticeable change is that I reduced the fund's stake in New
York bonds to 9.7% at the end of the period, from 12.3% six months earlier.
New York bonds had performed quite well during the first few months of
1995, and I sold some to lock in their gains and looked for undervalued
opportunities elsewhere. But by the end of the period, New York bonds
looked very cheap to me so I bought some back. I also reduced the fund's
stake in California bonds because even though the state's economy appears
to have bottomed, I don't expect it to make any drastic improvement over
the near term.
Q. TURNING TO YOU DAVID, WHAT SHOULD SHAREHOLDERS EXPECT OVER THE NEXT SIX
MONTHS?
D.M. I want to start by pointing out that Norm and I have worked closely
together for several years and our investing philosophies and styles are
similar. So the changes I make will most likely reflect market conditions
and opportunities, rather than a difference in opinion with Norm. As far as
the municipal bond market is concerned, I believe it could pause to catch
its breath at some time in the near future. So I consider it unlikely that
municipal bond prices will enjoy the same degree of appreciation over the
next six months that they did during the previous six months. In my view,
it would be wise for shareholders to expect that the fund's total returns
will be less dependent on capital appreciation and more dependent on income
over the near term.

DAVID MURPHY'S OUTLOOK FOR THE
MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET:
"Despite the fact that the
United States has experienced
an extended economic
expansion, inflation has
remained under relative
control. A relatively low level
of inflation has been a positive
for the municipal bond
market, and I expect that will
continue to be the case over
the foreseeable future.
"In my view, we'll continue to
see a lower supply of municipal
bonds available, which should
be an additional positive for
the market. The total amount
of municipal bonds issued in
1995 is expected to be about
$140 billion. That would
represent about a $20 billion
decline from 1994. And I don't
expect supply to increase
unless interest rates fall
dramatically. A low supply,
coupled with constant or
increased demand, could
bode well for the municipal
bond market."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended August 31, 1995
1. 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 substantially 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 interest 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, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for futures
and options transactions and market discount.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net interest income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net realized gain
(loss) on investments 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 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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS.
The fund may use futures and options contracts to manage its exposure to
the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying futures,
writing puts, and buying calls tend to increase the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument. Selling futures, buying puts, and writing calls tend
to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, or hedge
other fund investments. Futures contracts and written options involve, to
varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin or
the option value reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
underlying face amount at value is shown in the schedule of investments
under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's
exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from
changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid
secondary market for the contracts, or if the counterparties do not perform
under the contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options 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.
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
market value of the securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or
forward commitment basis are identified as such in the fund's schedule of
investments. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the
underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the
contract.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $386,361,713 and $495,566,969, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $589,548,240 and $590,766,169, 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. To
offset the cost of providing these services, FMR or its affiliates collect
certain transaction fees from the fund's shareholders which amounted to
$11,685 for the period.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Fidelity Union Street Trust and the Shareholders of
Spartan Municipal Income Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Fidelity Union Street Trust: Spartan Municipal Income Portfolio, including
the schedule of portfolio investments, as of August 31, 1995, 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 five years in the period then
ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the fund's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on
our 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, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our 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 Municipal Income Portfolio as of
August 31, 1995, 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 five years in the
period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Although the markets have been fairly positive this year, no one can
predict what lies ahead for investors. Last year, stocks posted
below-average returns and bonds had one of the worst years in history. This
downturn followed a period in which the investing environment was generally
very positive.
These market ups and downs are a normal part of investing, and there are
some basic principles that are helpful for investors to remember in
different types of markets.
Keeping in mind that the effects of interest rate changes on your bond
investments will only be "paper" gains or losses unless you sell your
shares, staying in your bond fund may be appropriate if your investment
horizon is at least a year or more. The longer your investing time frame,
the more likely it is that you will retain your principal investment
through both up and down markets. For example, a 10-year time frame, such
as saving
for a college education, enables you to weather these ups and downs in a
long-term fund, which has higher potential returns. An intermediate-length
fund could be appropriate if your investment horizon is two to four years,
and a short-term bond fund could be the right choice if you need your money
in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund, which seeks income
and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, there is no assurance that a money market fund will
achieve its goal, and it is important to remember that money market funds
are not insured or guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
No matter what your investment horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan - investing a certain amount
of money at the same time each month or quarter - and to review your
portfolio periodically. A periodic investment plan will not, of course,
assure a profit or protect against a loss.
If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We stand ready
to provide the information you need to make the investments that are right
for 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. A fund's total
return 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 on an average sized account. You can also look at the fund's
income to measure performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the past 5 years and life of fund figures would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1995 PAST 1 PAST 5 LIFE OF
YEAR YEARS FUND
Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal 5.94% 35.21% 55.36%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index 8.87% 52.01% n/a
Average Short Municipal Bond Fund 5.15% 32.69% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.62% 16.19% 38.37%
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, the value of your investment would
be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a broad measure of the municipal
bond market. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its
peers, you can compare it to the average short municipal bond fund, which
reflects the performance of 39 municipal bond funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services over the past 12 months. Both
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
Comparing the fund's performance to the consumer price index (CPI) 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

Average Short Municipal Bond Fund 5.15% 5.81% n/a
Consumer Price Index 2.62% 3.05% 3.82%
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.

$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, 1995, the value of your
investment would have grown to $15,649 - a 56.49% increase on your initial
investment. This assumes you still owned the fund on August 31, 1995, 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 $19,358 - a 93.58%
increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will do
tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally 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
on an average sized account.

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, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
MARKET RECAP
The municipal bond market
posted strong returns for the 12
months ended August 31, 1995.
For the 12-month period, the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - a broad measure of the
tax-free market - had a total return
of 8.87%. By comparison, the
Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index - a proxy of
investment-grade taxable bonds
- - returned 11.30%. A strong rally
starting in November 1994
helped municipal bonds recover
from the effects of the sharply
rising interest rate environment
seen through much of 1994. A
relatively tame inflationary
environment coupled with
indications of a slowing economy
encouraged bond investors,
helping to push interest rates down
throughout the period. In addition,
the Federal Reserve Board -
seeking to prevent the economy
from going into recession -
eased formerly tight credit
conditions by lowering the fed
funds rate - the rate banks
charge each other for overnight
loans - by 0.25% on July 6 to
5.75%. Performance among
taxable and tax-free issues was
not uniform during the period.
While municipal bonds performed
better than comparable Treasury
issues in the first quarter of 1995,
this trend reversed later in the year.
Ongoing concerns related to the
bankruptcy of Orange County,
California, and the threat of tax
reform dampened investor
interest, causing muni prices to
compress relative to taxable
issues. The rally rekindled at the
end of August, aided by a
tightening supply of municipal
debt securities.
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS: On
October 1, 1995, Norman Lind (right photo) became portfolio manager of
Spartan Short-Intermediate Municipal Fund. The following is an interview
with David Murphy - who managed the fund during the period covered by this
report - with some comments from Norm Lind on his outlook for the fund and
the municipal market.
Q. HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED, DAVID?
D.M. Better than its peers. For the year ended August 31, 1995, the fund
had a total return of 5.94%. That compared to the average short municipal
bond fund's return of 5.15% for the same period, as tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND OUTPACE THE AVERAGE?
D.M. Primarily because of its structure. During the fall of 1994, I used a
strategy known as a "barbell," in which most of the fund's investments were
in either bonds with maturities of less than 1.5 years, or in bonds with
maturities of five to seven years. I did that because the yield curve - the
difference in yields between bonds of various maturities - was steep. That
meant that investors were rewarded with a significant amount of additional
yield by investing in bonds with maturities of five to seven years. Also, I
expected the yield curve to flatten, which it did throughout the early part
of 1995. As the curve flattened, the value of those longer-term
intermediate bonds rose more - on a relative basis - than shorter-term
bonds. Having the fund barbelled during this flattening process helped the
fund's overall performance.
Q. ONCE THAT FLATTENING HAD OCCURRED, DID YOU STRUCTURE THE FUND
DIFFERENTLY?
D.M. Yes, because I anticipated that the yield curve would once again
steepen. To take advantage of that steepening, I changed the fund to have
more of a "bulleted" structure, which is the opposite of a barbell. With a
bulleted structure, the fund has a heavy concentration in a particular
maturity range. In this case, I bulleted the fund with a heavy
concentration in bonds with maturities between three and five years.
Because the yield curve steepened fairly dramatically during the past few
months, having a bulleted structure also benefited the fund. By the end of
the period, however, I began to anticipate that the yield curve may once
again flatten, so I started to move the fund back toward a more barbelled
approach.
Q. WHICH SECTORS WERE THE BEST AND WORST PERFORMERS FOR THE FUND DURING THE
PAST SIX MONTHS?
D.M. Student loan bonds performed quite well during that time. These bonds
historically have been perceived to carry the risk of being paid off prior
to their scheduled maturities. To compensate for that perceived risk, they
carried an above-average yield. Recently, however, the municipal bond
market seems to have realized that the risk of pre-payment for some student
loan bonds is not that high, so investors became more willing to pay a
higher price to own them. I did sell some of these bonds in order to lock
in their gains, and find opportunities elsewhere. Health care bonds were
some of the fund's laggards over the past six months, as investors worried
about the increasing competitive pressures that face the industry. But I've
targeted health care organizations I believe can hold up in this more
competitive environment. Thus, I continue to hold some health care bonds.
Q. THE FUND'S CONCENTRATION IN STATE GENERAL OBLIGATION (GO) BONDS HAS
RISEN, WHILE ITS STAKE IN LOCAL GOS HAS DECLINED. ARE THOSE CONNECTED?
D.M. Yes. Across the country many states are pushing new financial
responsibilities down to the local level. So because I'm somewhat more
positive about the outlook for the finances and budgets of the states than
I am about the local governments, I've more heavily weighted the fund's GO
stake in favor of state issues. In terms of states, I made two noticeable
changes to the fund's investments during the past six months. First, I
increased the fund's stake in Texas, mainly by adding GO bonds issued by
the state. Second, I decreased the fund's investments in California GOs,
which were underperformers during the period. That state's economy
continues to lag the nation, and it appears that it will continue to do so
for some time.
Q. TURNING TO YOU NORM, WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE FUND?
N.L. In managing our respective funds, David and I have worked closely
together for many years and our investment styles and philosophies are
similar. Any changes that I make in the future most likely will be a
function of market opportunities and conditions, rather than some
difference in style. For example, I'll probably continue the process that
David began toward the end of the period of moving the fund toward a more
barbelled structure. Other than that, I'll try to identify bonds with
current prices I think understate their true value, with the expectation
that they will appreciate later and capture their full value.

NORM LIND'S OUTLOOK FOR THE
MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET:
"There are several factors
that will determine the
municipal bond market's
direction over the next six
months. Chief among them
is the direction of the
economy, inflation and
interest rates. In my view, the
economy is currently at a
pivotal point. There aren't any
definitive signs about where
we're heading but there are
three choices: a "soft landing,"
in which economic growth is
slow but steady and inflation
stays low; a recession; or a
fast-growing, inflationary
environment. Until that
question is resolved,
municipal prices are likely to
remain generally in their
current range.
"In the spring and summer,
talk of a flat tax - under
which all individuals would be
taxed at a uniform rate and
deductions would be eliminated
- - caused the municipal market
to be somewhat volatile. We
could see some continued
volatility as the flat tax and
other federal tax proposals
fade in and out of public
debate. In my view, it's unlikely
that a flat tax will be enacted
before 1997, if ever, and the
municipal bond market
overreacted.
"On a more positive note, the
net amount of municipal
bonds outstanding is shrinking.
Assuming that demand for

Years 3.0 2.8
DURATION SHOWS HOW MUCH A BOND FUND'S PRICE FLUCTUATES WITH CHANGES IN
COMPARABLE INTEREST RATES. IF RATES RISE 1%, FOR EXAMPLE, A FUND WITH A
FIVE-YEAR DURATION IS LIKELY TO LOSE ABOUT 5% OF ITS VALUE. OTHER FACTORS
ALSO CAN INFLUENCE A BOND FUND'S PERFORMANCE AND SHARE PRICE. ACCORDINGLY,
A BOND FUND'S ACTUAL PERFORMANCE MAY DIFFER FROM THIS EXAMPLE.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended August 31, 1995
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 substantially 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 interest 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, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for futures
and options transactions, market discount, and losses deferred due to wash
sales, futures and options, 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 the per-share allocation between net interest income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net realized gain
(loss) on investments may include
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED.
temporary book and tax basis differences that will reverse in a subsequent
period. 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 market value of the securities
purchased or sold on a when-issued or forward commitment basis are
identified as such in the fund's schedule of investments. Losses may arise
due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the
counterparty does not perform under the contract.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS. The fund may use futures and options
contracts to manage its exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in
interest rates. Buying futures, writing puts, and buying calls tend to
increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Selling futures,
buying puts, and writing calls tend to decrease the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument, or hedge other fund investments. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is an
illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or if the counterparties do
not perform under the contracts' terms.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day
by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Exchange-traded
options 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 $485,709,000 and $613,380,000, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $160,026,000 and $160,731,000, 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
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED.
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. To
offset the cost of providing these services, FMR or its affiliates collect
certain transaction fees from the fund's shareholders which amounted to
$19,000 for the period.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
