Dear Shareholder,
 
During the six months ended September 30, 1995, the U.S. economy suffered
lackluster growth before picking up its pace in the third quarter of 1995.
Inflation, already low, subsided even further by the end of the period. The
housing sector finally responded to historically attractive mortgage rates with
robust activity in 1995's third quarter, after a dismal second quarter.
 
On July 6, 1995, the Federal Reserve Board cut the benchmark Federal Funds rate,
the rate banks charge each other for overnight borrowing, by 0.25%. This
decrease, the first in nearly three years, signalled that the Federal Reserve
Board believes that inflationary pressures have eased enough to accommodate an
adjustment in monetary policy from restrictive toward neutral.
 
In addition to concerns over the strength of the recovery, economic news
centered on debate over whether inflation was still likely to become a threat
and details of efforts in Washington to implement a plan to balance the budget.
While the outcome of the budgetary process remains in question, the perception
that the Federal Reserve is winning its war against inflation is widespread.
 
The bond market continued the rally that began in mid-November 1994. The U.S.
stock market has also continued to rally during 1995, pushing the Dow Jones
Industrial Average and S&P 500 Index to a string of new highs. The value of the
U.S. dollar declined for much of the period, but began to recover in August
1995. We expect the current slow-growth, low inflation environment to persist
through the last quarter of 1995.
 
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
 
As of September 30, 1995, the Fund offered a seven-day annualized yield of 5.09%
and an effective seven-day annualized yield of 5.22%. The Fund maintained a
weighted average maturity of 46 days as of September 30, 1995.
 
The board of trustees of PaineWebber/Kidder, Peabody Premium Account Fund has
approved a Plan of Reorganization and Termination ('Reorganization') for
submission to the Fund's shareholders, at a special meeting scheduled to be held
on February 13, 1996. If the proposed Reorganization is approved and
implemented, all of the Fund's assets will be acquired and its liabilities
assumed by PaineWebber RMA Money Market Portfolio ('RMA Money Market
Portfolio'). The Reorganization is a non-taxable event. As a result of the

Reorganization, the two funds' assets would be combined and each Fund
shareholder would, on the closing date of the transaction, receive a number of
shares of the RMA Money Market Portfolio having an aggregate value equal to the
value of the shareholder's holdings in the Fund. RMA Money Market Portfolio
is also managed by Susan Messina. The Portfolio seeks maximum current income
consistent with liquidity and conservation of capital. The Portfolio invests 
in high-grade money market

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     PaineWebber/Kidder, Peabody Premium Account Fund (the 'Fund') was organized
as a Massachusetts business trust on January 13, 1982, and is registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended ('1940 Act'), as an open-end, diversified management investment
company.
 
     Valuation and Accounting for Investments--Investments are valued at
amortized cost which approximates market value. Investment transactions are
recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions
are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on
an accrual basis. Premiums are amortized and discounts are accreted as
adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.
 
     The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to meet
their obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those
particular to a specific industry or region.
 
     Repurchase Agreements--The Fund's custodian takes possession of the
collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying
collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value,
including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the
event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to
liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the
obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy
by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the
collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
 

     Federal Tax Status--The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for
federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each
calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and
certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal
excise tax.
 
     Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders--Dividends and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment
income and distributions from realized gains from investment transactions are
determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles. These 'book/tax' differences are
either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these
differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the
capital accounts based on their federal income tax classification. Net capital
gains, if any, will be distributed at least annually, but the Fund may make more
frequent distributions of such gains, if necessary, to maintain its net asset
value per share at $1.00 or to avoid income or excise taxes.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 
     At a special meeting of shareholders that took place on April 13, 1995,
shareholders approved the appointment of PaineWebber Incorporated
('PaineWebber') as investment adviser and administrator of the Fund and Mitchell
Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ('Mitchell Hutchins') as the Fund's sub-adviser
and sub-administrator. The Fund's investment adviser and administrator receives
compensation from the Fund accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of
0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. PaineWebber (not the Fund) pays
Mitchell Hutchins a fee for sub-advisory and sub-administration services at the
annual rate of 20% of the fee received by PaineWebber from the Fund. At
September 30, 1995, the Fund owed PaineWebber $239,872 in investment advisory
and administration fees.
 
     In compliance with applicable state securities laws, PaineWebber, the
Fund's investment adviser, will reimburse the Fund, if and to the extent that
the aggregate operating expenses in any fiscal year, exclusive of taxes,
interest, brokerage fees, distribution fees and extraordinary expenses, exceed
limitations imposed by various state regulations. Currently, the most
restrictive limitation is 2.5% on the first $30 million of average daily net
assets, 2.0% of the next $70 million and 1.5% of any excess over $100 million.
For the six months ended September 30, 1995, no reimbursements were required
pursuant to the above limitation.

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS
 
     Kidder Peabody Asset Management, Inc. ('KPAM') purchased certain of the
Fund's variable rate securities on July 6, 1994 for an aggregate purchase price
of $32,244,799. The purchases were made at prices equal to the securities'
amortized cost plus accrued and unpaid interest. Since the purchases by KPAM
were made at prices above the securities' then current fair values, the Fund
recorded a capital contribution from KPAM in the amount of $1,664,186 or $0.002
per share.
 
PROPOSED REORGANIZATION
 
     The Board of Trustees of the Fund have approved a Plan of Reorganization
and Termination (the 'Reorganization') for submission to its shareholders at a

special meeting scheduled to be held on February 13, 1996. If the proposed
Reorganization is approved and implemented, all of the Fund's assets will be
acquired and its liabilities assumed by PaineWebber RMA Money Market Fund, Inc.
('RMA Money Market Fund') in a tax-free reorganization. As a result of the
Reorganization, the two funds' assets would be combined and each Fund
shareholder would, on the closing date of the transaction, receive a number of
full and fractional shares of RMA Money Market Fund having an aggregate value
equal to the value of the shareholder's holdings in the Fund. There can be no
assurance that the Fund's shareholders will approve the Reorganization.
