WHO SHOULD INVEST. Each Fund has its own suitability considerations and
risk factors, as summarized below and described in detail under "Investment
Objectives and Policies." The Funds are designed for investors seeking liquidity
and current income. The Funds provide a convenient means for investors to earn
current income at money market rates with minimal risk of fluctuation of
principal.
Shares of the Funds are offered primarily to clients of PaineWebber and its
correspondent firms who are participants in the RMA and BSA programs. Shares of
the Funds may be offered to PaineWebber clients with other types of accounts
under certain limited circumstances.
Tax-Free Fund, California Municipal Money Fund, New Jersey Municipal Money
Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund (referred to collectively in this
Prospectus as the "Municipal Funds") are not suitable for tax-exempt
institutions or qualified retirement plans, because those investors cannot take
advantage of the tax-exempt character of these Funds' dividends.
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO AND U.S. GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO are designed for
investors seeking liquidity and current income. They provide a convenient means
for investors to earn current income at money market rates with minimal risk of
fluctuation of principal.
TAX-FREE FUND is designed for investors seeking liquidity and current income
that is exempt from federal income tax. It provides a convenient means for
investors to earn current tax-free income at money market rates with minimal
risk of fluctuation of principal.

<PAGE>
CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND is designed for investors seeking liquidity
and current income that is exempt from federal income tax and California
personal income tax. The Fund provides a convenient means for California
investors to earn current tax-free income at money market rates with minimal
risk of fluctuation of principal.
NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND is designed for investors seeking liquidity
and current income that is exempt from federal income tax and New Jersey
personal income tax. The Fund provides a convenient means for New Jersey
investors to earn current tax-free income at money market rates with minimal
risk of fluctuation of principal.
NEW YORK MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND is designed for investors seeking liquidity
and current income that is exempt from federal income tax and New York State and
New York City personal income taxes. The Fund provides a convenient means for
New York investors to earn current tax-free income at money market rates with
minimal risk of fluctuation of principal.
RISK FACTORS. There can be no assurance that any Fund will achieve its
investment objective. While the types of money market instruments in which each
Fund invests generally are considered to have low risk of loss of principal or
interest, these securities are not completely risk free. In addition, during
periods when interest rates are declining or rising, a Fund's yield will tend to
lag behind prevailing short-term interest rates. The Money Market Fund may
invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers, which may
present a greater degree of risk than investments in securities of domestic
issuers. See "Investment Objectives and Policies" for more information about
this risk factor and those described below.
THE CONCENTRATION OF THE INVESTMENTS OF CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND, NEW
JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND AND NEW YORK MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND IN SECURITIES
ISSUED BY A SINGLE STATE OR ENTITIES WITHIN THAT STATE MAY SUBJECT THOSE FUNDS
TO GREATER RISKS THAN A MONEY MARKET FUND THAT HAS A BROADER RANGE OF
INVESTMENTS. Investors should be aware that each of the states of California,
New Jersey and New York (the "States") experienced economic recessions during
the late 1980's and/or early 1990's, and the credit ratings assigned to the
general obligation bonds of each State were reduced by at least one rating
agency since 1990. In particular, the State of New York and many of its agencies
and local governments have been experiencing, and continue to experience,
significant financial difficulties. There can be no assurance that one or more
of the States will not experience financial difficulties in the future, which
may lead to reductions in the credit standings of such States and possibly of
certain local governments (including New York City).
The status of California Municipal Money Fund, New Jersey Municipal Money
Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund as "non-diversified" investment companies
and the ability of each Municipal Fund to invest more than 25% of its total
assets in securities the interest on which is paid from similar types of
projects may further increase the risk of an investment in those Funds.

* See "Management" for additional information. The fees and expenses shown are
based on those actually incurred for each Fund's most recent fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998, except that the 12b-1 fees for U.S. Government
Portfolio, Tax-Free Fund, Fund California Municipal Money Fund and New York
Municipal Money Fund are shown at the current contract rate of 0.125%
(rounded to 0.13% for the Table above). PaineWebber currently charges an
annual $85 account charge for the RMA program including the Gold
MasterCard-Registered Trademark- without the Bank One Line of Credit. The
fee for clients who choose the Line of Credit for their Gold MasterCard is
$125. The annual account charge for the BSA program, including the
MasterCard BusinessCard-Registered Trademark- is $125 ($165 with a
MasterCard Line of Credit). The account charges are not included in the
table because certain non-RMA and non-BSA participants are permitted to
purchase shares of the Funds.

EXAMPLE OF EFFECT OF FUND EXPENSES
An investor would pay directly or indirectly the following expenses on a
$1,000 investment in each Fund, assuming a 5% annual return:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1 YEAR 3 YEARS 5 YEARS 10 YEARS
------ ------- ------- --------
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Money Market Portfolio.................. $ 6 $19 $33 $ 75
U.S. Government Portfolio............... $ 6 $19 $33 $ 75
Tax-Free Fund........................... $ 6 $20 $34 $ 76
California Municipal Money Fund......... $ 7 $22 $38 $ 85
New Jersey Municipal Money Fund......... $ 9 $27 $47 $105
New York Municipal Money Fund........... $ 7 $22 $38 $ 85
</TABLE>
This Example assumes that all dividends are reinvested and that the
percentage amounts listed under Annual Fund Operating Expenses remain the same
in the years shown. The above tables and the assumption in the Example of a 5%
annual return are required by regulations of the SEC applicable to all mutual
funds; the assumed 5% annual return is not a prediction of, and does not
represent, any Fund's projected or actual performance.
THE EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES, AND EACH FUND'S ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE
SHOWN. The actual expenses of each Fund will depend upon, among other things,
the level of average net assets and the extent to which each Fund incurs
variable expenses, such as transfer agency costs.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The investment objective of both Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government
Portfolio is to provide maximum current income consistent with liquidity and
conservation of capital. Each Fund seeks to meet this objective by following
different investment policies. Tax-Free Fund's investment objective is to
provide maximum current income exempt from federal income tax consistent with
liquidity and conservation of capital. California Municipal Money Fund's
investment objective is to provide maximum current income exempt from federal
income tax and California personal income tax consistent with liquidity and
conservation of capital. New Jersey Municipal Money Fund's objective is the
maximization of current income exempt from federal income tax and New Jersey
personal income tax for residents of the State of New Jersey, consistent with
the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. New York Municipal
Money Fund's investment objective is to provide maximum current income exempt
from federal income tax and New York State and New York City personal income
taxes consistent with liquidity and conservation of capital.
Each Fund maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days
or less, and purchases only those obligations that Mitchell Hutchins determines,
pursuant to procedures adopted by the applicable Corporation's board of
directors or Trust's board of trustees (each a "board"), present minimal credit
risks. In managing each Fund's portfolio, Mitchell Hutchins may employ a number
of professional money management techniques, including varying the composition
and the weighted average maturity of each Fund's portfolio based upon its
assessment of the relative values of various money market instruments and future
interest rate patterns, in order to respond to changing economic and money
market conditions and to shifts in fiscal and monetary policy. Mitchell Hutchins
may also seek to improve a Fund's yield by purchasing or selling securities to
take advantage of yield disparities among similar or dissimilar money market
instruments that regularly occur in the money markets.
Money Market Portfolio and Tax-Free Fund each generally may invest no more
than 5% of its total assets in the securities of a single issuer (other than
securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities).
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
Money Market Portfolio invests in high quality money market instruments
having or deemed to have remaining maturities of 13 months or less. These
instruments include (1) U.S. government securities, (2) obligations of U.S. and
foreign banks, (3) commercial paper and other short-term obligations of U.S and
foreign companies, governments and similar entities, including variable and
floating rate securities and participation interests, and (4) repurchase
agreements involving any of the foregoing.
The U.S. government securities in which Money Market Portfolio may invest
include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury (such as Treasury bills, notes
and bonds) and obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and
instrumentalities, including securities that are supported by the full faith and
credit of the United States (such as Government National Mortgage Association
certificates ("GNMAs")), securities supported primarily or solely by the
creditworthiness of the issuer (such as securities of the Resolution Funding
Corporation and the Tennessee Valley Authority) and securities that are
supported primarily or solely by specific pools of assets and the
creditworthiness of a U.S. government-related issuer (such as mortgage-backed
securities issued by Fannie Mae, also known as
11
<PAGE>
the Federal National Mortgage Association, and Freddie Mac, also known as the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation).
Money Market Portfolio may invest in obligations (including certificates of
deposit, bankers' acceptances, time deposits and similar obligations) of U.S.
and foreign banks having total assets at the time of purchase in excess of $1.5
billion. The Fund may invest in non-negotiable time deposits of U.S. banks,
savings associations and similar depository institutions having total assets in
excess of $1.5 billion at the time of purchase only if the time deposits have
maturities of seven days or less.
The securities purchased by Money Market Portfolio consist only of
obligations that are "First Tier Securities" as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"). As so defined, First Tier
Securities include securities that are rated in the highest short-term rating
category by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations
("NRSROs") or by one NRSRO if only one NRSRO has assigned the obligation a
short-term rating. First Tier Securities also include unrated securities if
Mitchell Hutchins has determined the obligations to be of comparable quality to
rated securities that so qualify. The Fund may also purchase participation
interests in any of the securities in which it is permitted to invest.
Participation interests are pro rata interests in securities held by others.
U.S. GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO
U.S. Government Portfolio invests in U.S. government securities having or
deemed to have remaining maturities of 13 months or less and repurchase
agreements secured by U.S. government securities. Under investment guidelines
adopted by its board, the Fund currently invests only in securities, such as
U.S. Treasury bills, Treasury notes and GNMAs, that are backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States and repurchase agreements secured by such
securities. These guidelines may be modified by the Corporation's board without
shareholder approval. U.S. government securities in which the Fund would
otherwise be authorized to invest include obligations supported primarily or
solely by the creditworthiness of the issuer.
TAX-FREE FUND
Tax-Free Fund invests substantially all of its assets in high quality money
market instruments having or deemed to have remaining maturities of 13 months or
less issued by states, municipalities, public authorities and other issuers, the
interest from which is exempt from federal income tax ("Municipal Securities").
The Fund purchases only those Municipal Securities that are First Tier
Securities. These Municipal Securities include municipal notes, municipal
commercial paper, municipal bonds, floating and variable rate municipal
obligations and participation interests in municipal bonds and floating and
variable rate obligations. Municipal bonds include industrial development bonds
("IDBs"), private activity bonds ("PABs"), moral obligation bonds, municipal
lease obligations and certificates of participation therein and put bonds. The
interest on most PABs is an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal
alternative minimum tax ("AMT"). Under normal market conditions, the Fund
intends to invest in Municipal Securities that pay interest that is not an item
of tax preference for purposes of the AMT ("AMT exempt interest"), but may
invest up to 20% of its total assets in such securities if, in Mitchell
Hutchins' judgment, market conditions warrant. The principal Municipal
Securities in which the Fund invests are described in the Appendix to this
Prospectus.
12
<PAGE>
CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
Except for temporary purposes, California Municipal Money Fund invests at
least 80% and seeks to invest 100% of its net assets in Municipal Securities
issued by the State of California, its municipalities and public authorities and
other issuers if such obligations pay interest that is exempt from federal
income tax as well as California personal income tax ("California Municipal
Securities").
California Municipal Money Fund invests in high quality California Municipal
Securities having or deemed to have remaining maturities of 13 months or less.
These instruments include the types of Municipal Securities identified above for
the Tax-Free Fund and further described in the Appendix to this Prospectus.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund intends to invest in California
Municipal Securities that pay AMT exempt interest, but may invest without limit
in securities that pay interest that is subject to the AMT if, in Mitchell
Hutchins' judgment, market conditions warrant. The California Municipal
Securities purchased by the Fund consist only of First Tier Securities.
NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
Except for temporary purposes, New Jersey Municipal Money Fund invests at
least 65% of its total assets, and seeks to invest 100% of its net assets, in
Municipal Securities issued by the State of New Jersey, its municipalities and
public authorities if such obligations pay interest that is exempt from federal
income tax as well as New Jersey personal income tax ("New Jersey Municipal
Securities"). Except for temporary purposes, the Fund invests at least 80% of
its net assets in Municipal Securities.
New Jersey Municipal Money Fund invests in high quality New Jersey Municipal
Securities having or deemed to have remaining maturities of 13 months or less.
These instruments include the types of Municipal Securities identified above for
Tax-Free Fund and further described in the Appendix to this Prospectus. Under
normal market conditions, the Fund may invest in securities that pay interest
that is subject to the AMT. The New Jersey Municipal Securities purchased by the
Fund consist only of First Tier Securities.
NEW YORK MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
Except for temporary purposes, New York Municipal Money Fund invests at
least 80% and seeks to invest 100% of its net assets in Municipal Securities
issued by the State of New York, its municipalities and public authorities and
other issuers if such obligations pay interest that is exempt from federal
income tax as well as New York State and New York City personal income taxes
("New York Municipal Securities").
New York Municipal Money Fund invests in high quality New York Municipal
Securities having or deemed to have remaining maturities of 13 months or less.
These instruments include the types of Municipal Securities identified above for
the Tax-Free Fund and further described in the Appendix to this Prospectus.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund intends to invest in New York Municipal
Securities that pay AMT exempt interest, but may invest without limit in
securities that pay interest that is subject to the AMT if, in Mitchell
Hutchins' judgment, market conditions warrant. The New York Municipal Securities
purchased by the Fund consist only of First Tier Securities.
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES AND
RISK FACTORS
U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government
Portfolio may invest in separately traded principal and interest components of
securities issued or guaranteed by
13
<PAGE>
the U.S. Treasury, which are traded independently under the Separate Trading of
Registered Interest and Principal of Securities ("STRIPS") program. Under the
STRIPS program, the principal and interest components are individually numbered
and separately issued by the U.S. Treasury. The staff of the SEC currently takes
the position that interests in "stripped" U.S. government securities that are
not part of the STRIPS program are not U.S. government securities.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES. The Funds may purchase variable and
floating rate securities with remaining maturities in excess of 13 months issued
by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities or guaranteed by the U.S.
government (Money Market and U.S. Government Portfolios). In addition, Money
Market Portfolio may purchase variable and floating rate securities of other
issuers, and the Municipal Funds may purchase such securities of municipal
issuers, including tender option bonds. Tender option bonds are long-term
municipal securities sold by a bank or other financial institution subject to a
demand feature that gives the purchaser the right to tender them to the bank or
other financial institution at par plus accrued interest at designated times.
The Funds will only purchase these other types of variable and floating rate
securities with remaining maturities in excess of 13 months if the securities
are subject to a demand feature exercisable within 13 months or less. The yields
on these securities are adjusted in relation to changes in specific rates, such
as the prime rate, and different securities may have different adjustment rates.
The Funds' investments in these securities must comply with conditions
established by the SEC under which they may be considered to have remaining
maturities of 13 months or less. Certain of these obligations carry a demand
feature that gives a Fund the right to tender them back to the issuer or a
remarketing agent and receive the principal amount of the security prior to
maturity. The demand feature may be backed by letters of credit or other
liquidity support arrangements provided by banks or other financial
institutions, whose credit standing affects the credit quality of the
obligation. Changes in the credit quality of these institutions could cause
losses to a Fund and affect its share price.
VARIABLE AMOUNT MASTER DEMAND NOTES. Securities purchased by Money Market
Portfolio may include variable amount master demand notes, which are unsecured
redeemable obligations that permit investment of varying amounts at fluctuating
interest rates under a direct agreement between the Fund and the issuer. The
principal amount of these notes may be increased from time to time by the
parties (subject to specified maximums) or decreased by the Fund or the issuer.
These notes are payable on demand and may or may not be rated.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio
each may enter into repurchase agreements with respect to any security in which
that Fund is authorized to invest, except that securities subject to repurchase
agreements may have maturities in excess of 13 months. Each Municipal Fund may
enter into repurchase agreements with respect to U.S. government securities,
commercial paper, bank certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances.
Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund purchases obligations
from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate) and simultaneously commits
to resell the obligations to that counterparty at an agreed upon date or upon
demand and at a price reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to the
coupon rate or maturity of the purchased obligations. Each Fund maintains
custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through
its regular custodian or through a special "tri-party" custodian or
sub-custodian that maintains separate accounts for both the Fund and its
counterparty. Thus, the obligation of the counterparty to pay the repurchase
price on the date agreed to or
14
<PAGE>
upon demand is, in effect, secured by such obligations.
Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with direct
investments in securities, including possible decline in the market value of the
underlying securities and delays and costs to a Fund if the other party to the
repurchase agreement becomes insolvent. Repurchase agreements involving
obligations other than U.S. government securities (such as commercial paper and
corporate bonds) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of
certain protections in the event of the counterparty's insolvency. If the seller
or guarantor becomes insolvent, a Fund may suffer delays, costs and possible
losses in connection with the disposition of collateral. The Funds intend to
enter into repurchase agreements only with counterparties in transactions
believed by Mitchell Hutchins to present minimal credit risks in accordance with
guidelines established by the applicable boards. The Municipal Funds do not
intend to enter into repurchase agreements except as a temporary measure and
under unusual circumstances.
PURCHASE AND SALE TRANSACTIONS. Each Fund may enter into simultaneous
purchase and sale transactions. The counterparty in a simultaneous purchase and
sale transaction with a Fund agrees to buy from the Fund the same or a similar
security to the security it is selling to the Fund at a mutually agreed-upon
time and price. The difference between the purchase cost and sale proceeds
(which includes the accrued interest on the security) determines the yield
during the term of the transaction. The Fund does not have the right to require
the counterparty to provide additional collateral if the market value of the
securities purchased by the Fund falls below the price at which the securities
are to be sold to the counterparty. In addition, in purchase and sale
transactions, full legal title to the securities sold to a Fund is transferred
to the Fund. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund's return on the transaction
is determined by the difference between the market value of the security bought
by the Fund and the amount paid by the Fund, plus related accrued interest. The
Fund would have rights against a defaulting counterparty for breach of contract
with respect to any losses that result from those market fluctuations.
FOREIGN SECURITIES. Money Market Portfolio may invest in U.S.
dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers, including debt securities of
foreign banks, corporations, governments and similar entitites. Such investments
may consist of obligations of foreign and domestic branches of foreign banks and
foreign branches of domestic banks. Such investments may involve risks that are
different from investments in U.S. issuers. These risks may include future
unfavorable political and economic developments, possible withholding taxes,
seizure of foreign deposits, currency controls, interest limitations or other
governmental restrictions that might affect the payment of principal or interest
on the securities held by Money Market Portfolio. Additionally, there may be
less publicly available information about foreign issuers, as these issuers may
not be subject to the same regulatory requirements as domestic issuers.
MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS. While the types of money market instruments in
which the Funds invest generally are considered to have low risk of loss of
principal or interest, they are not completely risk free. An issuer or guarantor
may be unable or unwilling to pay interest or repay principal on its obligations
for many reasons, including adverse changes in its own financial condition or in
economic conditions generally.
During periods when interest rates are declining or rising, the Funds'
yields will tend to lag behind prevailing short-term market rates. This means
that in periods of declining interest rates, the Funds' yields will tend to be
somewhat higher than prevailing short-term market rates, and in periods of
rising interest rates the opposite
15
<PAGE>
generally will be true. Also, when interest rates are falling, net cash inflows
from the continuous sale of a Fund's shares are likely to be invested in
portfolio instruments producing lower yields than the balance of that Fund's
portfolio, thereby reducing its yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the
opposite can be true. There can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve
their investment objectives.
YEAR 2000 RISKS. Like other mutual funds, financial and business
organizations around the world, the Funds could be adversely affected if the
computer systems used by Mitchell Hutchins, other service providers and entities
with computer systems that are linked to the Funds' records do not properly
process and calculate date-related information and data from and after January
1, 2000. This is commonly known as the "Year 2000 Issue." Mitchell Hutchins is
taking steps that it believes are reasonably designed to address the Year 2000
Issue with respect to the computer systems that it uses and to obtain
satisfactory assurances that comparable steps are being taken by the Funds'
other major service providers. However, there can be no assurance that these
steps will be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact on the Funds.
LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Each Fund may lend its securities to
qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors in an amount up to 33 1/3%
of its total assets. Lending securities enables a Fund to earn additional income
but could result in a loss or delay in recovering these securities. Because the
income earned through securities lending is taxable, the Municipal Funds do not
expect to engage in securities lending except under unusual circumstances.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. The Funds may also purchase securities on a
"when-issued" basis, that is, for delivery beyond the normal settlement date at
a stated price and yield. A Fund generally would not pay for such securities or
start earning interest on them until they are received. However, when a Fund
purchases securities on a when-issued basis, it immediately assumes the risks of
ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. Failure by the issuer to
deliver a security purchased on a when-issued basis may result in a loss or
missed opportunity to make an alternative investment. Each Municipal Fund
expects that commitments to purchase when-issued securities normally will not
exceed 25% of its assets (20% in the case of New Jersey Municipal Money Fund).
SPECIAL RISK CONSIDERATIONS--
CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND, NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND AND NEW YORK
MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
Each of these Funds concentrates its investments in securities issued by a
single State or entities within that State. In addition, each of these Funds may
invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in Municipal Securities
that are related in such a way that an economic, business or political
development or change affecting one such security would also affect the other
securities, such as securities the interest on which is paid from revenues of
similar types of projects. These Funds may be subject to greater risk than other
money market funds that do not follow these practices.
These Funds are "non-diversified," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act,
but each intends to continue to qualify as a "regulated investment company" for
federal income tax purposes. See "Dividends and Taxes." This means, in general,
that more than 5% of each Fund's total assets may be invested in securities of
one issuer, but only if, at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable
year, the aggregate amount of such holdings does not exceed 50% of the value of
its total assets and no more than 25% of the value of its total assets is
invested in the securities of a single issuer. Each Fund will invest no more
than 10%
16
<PAGE>
of its net assets in illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements with
maturities in excess of seven days. In order to facilitate portfolio liquidity
in unusual market conditions, a Municipal Fund may acquire standby commitments
from municipal bond dealers who would agree to purchase the Municipal Securities
that are the subject of the commitments. Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, however,
generally requires that the securities of a single issuer may not exceed 5% of a
Fund's total assets with respect to at least 75% of its assets. Nonetheless,
each Fund may be subject to greater risk with respect to its portfolio
securities than a "diversified" money market fund, because changes in the
financial condition or market assessment of a single issuer may cause greater
fluctuation in that Fund's yield or affect that Fund's ability to maintain a
constant net asset value per share.
As noted above, Municipal Funds purchase First Tier Securities. References
in the discussion that follows to the credit ratings assigned to certain State
obligations are intended to assist an investor in understanding a State's
perceived general economic health as of the date of this prospectus. The
standards that must be met in order for a given security to be considered for
purchase by a Municipal Fund are independent criteria.
RISKS OF CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. California Municipal Money Fund's
investment concentration in California Municipal Securities involves greater
risks than if it selected its investments from a broader geographic region. The
Fund's yield and ability to maintain a constant net asset value per share can be
affected by political and economic developments within the State of California
and by the financial condition of California, its public authorities and
political subdivisions. Following a severe recession from 1990-1993 which
resulted in broad-based revenue shortfalls for the State and many local
governments, California has been in a sustained economic recovery since 1994
which is outpacing the national economy. Although State tax revenues have grown
strongly and created budget surpluses in recent years, many local governments
continue to operate under financial constraints. During the recession, State
assistance to local governments was reduced, and has not been fully restored.
California's long-term credit rating was reduced in the early 1990's, but was
raised in 1996 by Fitch Investors Service, L.P. ("Fitch") and Standard & Poor's,
a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P" or "Standard & Poor's").
California's general obligation bonds were rated "A+" by Standard & Poor's, "A1"
by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and "AA-" by Fitch in August
1998.
In the past, California voters have passed amendments to the California
Constitution and other measures that limit the taxing and spending authority of
California governmental entities and future voter initiatives could result in
adverse consequences affecting California Municipal Securities. These factors,
among others (including the outcome of related pending litigation), could reduce
the credit standing of certain issuers of California Municipal Securities. A
more detailed discussion of the risks of investing in California Municipal
Securities is included in the Statement of Additional Information.
RISKS OF NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. New Jersey Municipal Money Fund's
investment concentration in New Jersey Municipal Securities involves greater
risks than if it selected its investments from a broader geographic region. The
Fund's yield and ability to maintain a constant net asset value per share can be
affected by political and economic developments within the State of New Jersey
and by the financial condition of New Jersey, its public authorities and
political subdivisions. Although New Jersey enjoyed a period of economic growth
with unemployment levels below the national average during the mid-1980s, New
Jersey's economy slowed down well before
17
<PAGE>
the onset of the national recession, which, according to the National Bureau of
Economic Research, began in July 1990. Reflecting the economic downturn, New
Jersey's unemployment rate rose from a low of 3.6% in the first quarter of 1989
to a recessionary peak of 8.5% during 1992. Since then, the State's unemployment
rate fell to 6.2% during 1996 and 5.5% for the six month period from January
through June 1997. As a result of New Jersey's fiscal weakness, in July 1991 S&P
lowered its rating of the State's AAA general obligation debt to AA+.
Moody's and Fitch each had rated New Jersey general obligation bonds Aa(1)
and AA+, respectively as. A more detailed discussion of the risks of investing
in New Jersey Municipal Securities is included in the Statement of Additional
Information.
RISKS OF NEW YORK MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. New York Municipal Money Fund's
investment concentration in New York Municipal Securities involves greater risks
than if it selected its investments from a broader geographic region. The Fund's
yield and ability to maintain a constant net asset value per share can be
affected by political and economic developments within the State of New York and
by the financial condition of the State, its public authorities and political
subdivisions, particularly the City of New York (the "City"). The State reduced
its accumulated General Fund deficits and experienced operating surpluses in
fiscal year ("FY") 1991-92 through 1993-94, an operating deficit of $1.426
billion for FY 1994-95 and a modest General Fund surplus for FY 1995-96. The
State ended its FY 1996-97 and FY 1997-98 with a General Fund cash surplus of
approximately $1.42 billion and $2.04 billion, respectively. Although the FY
1998-99 budget projects a cash balance in the General Fund, the economic and
financial condition of the State may be affected by various financial, social,
economic and political factors. Because of the uncertainty and unpredictability
of changes in these factors, their impact cannot be fully included in the
assumptions underlying the State's projections. In addition, recent changes to
federal entitlement programs and uncertainties stemming from such changes may
materially adversely impact the State's ability to achieve a balanced budget in
future fiscal years. The City (which is constrained in its fiscal flexibility by
an already heavy local tax burden, urgent social needs and its extensive and
deteriorating infrastructure) and most suburban county governments have
experienced serious fiscal problems related to the recessionary performance of
the regional economy, which has caused substantial, broad-based and recurring
revenue shortfalls. Both the State of New York's credit rating and the City's
credit rating have been, and could be further, reduced; and their ability to
provide assistance to public authorities and political subdivisions has been,
and could be further, impaired. New York's general obligation bonds were rated A
by Moody's, A by S&P and A+ by Fitch as of August 1998. A more detailed
discussion of the risks of investing in New York Municipal Securities is
included in the Statement of Additional Information.
OTHER INFORMATION
When Mitchell Hutchins believes that there is an insufficient supply of the
type of Municipal Securities in which a Municipal Fund primarily invests, or
during other unusual market conditions, that Municipal Fund temporarily may
invest all or any portion of its net assets in other types of Municipal
Securities. In addition, when Mitchell Hutchins believes that there is an
insufficient supply of any type of Municipal Securities or that other
circumstances warrant a defensive posture, each Municipal Fund may hold cash and
may invest all or any portion of its net assets in taxable money market
instruments, including repurchase agreements. To the extent that a Fund holds
cash, such cash would not earn income and would reduce the Fund's yield.
18
<PAGE>
Each Fund may borrow money for temporary purposes, but not in excess of 10%
of its total assets (15% of net assets in the case of New Jersey Municipal Money
Fund). Borrowings by Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio may
include reverse repurchase agreements involving up to 5% of each Fund's net
assets.
Each Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in the securities of
other money market funds with similar investment policies. To the extent a Fund
invests in other money market funds, its shareholders incur duplicative fees and
expenses, including investment advisory fees. Future federal, state and local
laws may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of interest on Municipal
Securities held by one of the Municipal Funds or of the exempt-interest
dividends paid by the Municipal Funds, extend the time for payment of principal
or interest or otherwise constrain enforcement of such obligations. Opinions
relating to the validity of Municipal Securities and the tax-exempt status of
interest thereon are rendered by the issuer's bond counsel at the time of
issuance; Mitchell Hutchins will rely on such opinions without independent
verification.
New forms of money market instruments continue to be developed. The Funds
may invest in such instruments to the extent consistent with their investment
objectives.
A Fund's investment objective may not be changed without the approval of its
shareholders. California Municipal Money Fund's investment policy of investing
at least 80% of its net assets in California Municipal Securities and the
similar investment policy of New York Municipal Money Fund and New Jersey
Municipal Money Fund relating to investments in New York Municipal Securities
and New Jersey Municipal Securities, respectively, may not be changed without
approval of the appropriate Fund's shareholders. Certain other investment
limitations, as described in the Statement of Additional Information, also may
not be changed without shareholder approval. All other investment policies may
be changed by the applicable board without shareholder approval.
PURCHASES
THE RMA AND BSA PROGRAMS. Shares of each Fund are available primarily
through the RMA and BSA programs. RMA and BSA participants are asked to select
one of the Funds as their designated portfolio ("Primary Sweep Money Fund").
Investors will have all free credit cash balances of over $1 (including proceeds
from securities sold) in the account invested in the Primary Sweep Money Fund.
Each Fund and PaineWebber reserve the right to reject any purchase order and to
suspend the offering of Fund shares for a period of time.
Investors who choose one Fund as their Primary Sweep Money Fund may also
purchase shares of another Fund by contacting their PaineWebber Investment
Executive or correspondent firms. Minimum purchase and maintenance requirements,
however, may apply to purchases of shares of a Fund other than the investor's
Primary Sweep Money Fund.
Certain features available to RMA and BSA participants are summarized in the
Appendices to the Statement of Additional Information. The RMA and BSA programs
are more fully described in separate materials your Investment Executive can
provide you. The availability of Fund shares to customers of PaineWebber's
correspondent firms varies depending on the arrangements between PaineWebber and
such firms.
19
<PAGE>
An order to purchase shares of a Fund will be executed on the Business Day
on which federal funds become available to the Fund, at the Fund's next
determined net asset value per share. "Federal funds" are funds deposited by a
commercial bank in an account at a Federal Reserve Bank that can be transferred
to a similar account of another bank in one day and thus may be made immediately
available to the Fund through its custodian. A "Business Day" is any day on
which the Boston offices of the Fund's custodian, State Street Bank and Trust
Company, and the New York City offices of PaineWebber and PaineWebber's bank are
all open for business.
RMA and BSA participants may change their Primary Sweep Money Fund at any
time by notifying their PaineWebber Investment Executives or correspondent
firms. However, RMA and BSA participants may not have more than one Primary
Sweep Money Fund at a time.
On any Business Day, a Fund will accept purchase orders and credit shares to
investors' accounts as follows.
PURCHASES IN GENERAL. To the extent that amounts transferred by check,
electronic funds transfer credit or wire or from funds held at PaineWebber into
an investor's brokerage account create a free credit cash balance, that cash
balance will be automatically invested in the investor's Primary Sweep Money
Fund, as described above under "The RMA and BSA Programs," when federal funds
are available for the investment. Fund shares will not be purchased until all
Debits and Charges (each as defined below) in a shareholder's RMA or BSA
brokerage account are satisfied. See "Redemptions-- Automatic Redemptions." RMA
or BSA participants wishing to invest amounts transferred in one of the other
Funds should so instruct their PaineWebber Investment Executives or
correspondent firms. All other shareholders should consult their PaineWebber
Investment Executives or correspondent firms for information on how to purchase
Fund shares.
PURCHASES WITH FUNDS HELD AT PAINEWEBBER. Investors may invest in Fund
shares with funds held in their brokerage account, including funds from the sale
of securities, as described above under "Purchases in General." Federal funds
normally are available for cash balances arising from the sale of securities
held in a brokerage account on the Business Day following settlement, but in
some cases can take longer.
PURCHASES BY CHECK OR ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER CREDIT. RMA and BSA
participants may purchase Fund shares by depositing into their account checks
drawn on a U.S. bank. The RMA or BSA participant's brokerage account number
should be included on the check.
As noted above, shares of the participant's Primary Sweep Money Fund will be
purchased when federal funds are available. Federal funds are deemed available
to a Fund two Business Days after deposit of a personal check and/or an
Electronic Funds Transfer credit initiated by PaineWebber and one Business Day
after deposit of a cashier's or certified check. PaineWebber may benefit from
the temporary use of the proceeds of personal checks and Electronic Funds
Transfer credits to the extent those funds are converted to federal funds in
fewer than two Business Days.
PURCHASES BY WIRE. RMA and BSA participants may also purchase shares of
their Primary Sweep Money Fund or another Fund by instructing their banks to
transfer federal funds by wire to their RMA or BSA account. Wire transfers
should be directed to: The Bank of New York, ABA 021000018, PaineWebber Inc.,
A/C
20
<PAGE>
890-0114-088, OBI=FBO [Account Name]/[Brokerage Account Number]. The wire must
include the investor's name and RMA or BSA brokerage account number. RMA or BSA
participants wishing to transfer federal funds into their accounts should
contact their PaineWebber Investment Executives or correspondent firms to
determine the appropriate wire instructions.
If PaineWebber receives a notice from an investor's bank of a wire transfer
of federal funds by 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on a Business Day, the automatic
investment will be executed on that Business Day. Otherwise, the automatic
investment will be executed at 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on the next Business
Day. PaineWebber and/or an investor's bank may impose a service charge for wire
transfers.
REDEMPTIONS
Shareholders may redeem (sell) any number of shares from their Fund accounts
by wire, by telephone or by mail. Shares will be redeemed at the net asset value
per share next determined after receipt by the Funds' transfer agent ("Transfer
Agent") of instructions from PaineWebber to redeem. PaineWebber delivers such
instructions to the Transfer Agent prior to the determination of net asset value
at 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on any Business Day.
AUTOMATIC REDEMPTIONS. Under the RMA and BSA programs, PaineWebber will
redeem Fund shares automatically to satisfy outstanding "Debits" and "Charges."
"Debits" are amounts due PaineWebber on settlement date for securities purchases
and other debits in the investor's RMA or BSA brokerage account, including
margin loans, any federal funds wires arranged by PaineWebber and fees for such
wires and PaineWebber checks and fees for such checks. "Charges" are RMA or BSA
checks, MasterCard purchases, cash advances, Bill Payment Service checks and
Automated Clearing House transfers, including Electronic Funds Transfer Debits.
Shares are redeemed to cover Debits on the day the Debit is generated. Shares
are redeemed to cover RMA or BSA checks and MasterCard cash advances on the day
they are paid. Shares are redeemed to cover MasterCard purchases at the end of
the MasterCard monthly billing period. Shares are also redeemed to cover
interest due on and credit extended and outstanding under the Bank One Line of
Credit at the end of the MasterCard monthly billing period. Securities purchases
are automatically paid for on settlement date.
ORDER OF REDEMPTION. If a shareholder owns shares of more than one Fund,
shares of the Primary Sweep Money Fund are always redeemed first; thereafter,
shares held in the other Funds will be redeemed, if necessary, in the following
order: first, Money Market Portfolio; second, U.S. Government Portfolio; third,
Tax-Free Fund; and fourth, New York Municipal Money Fund, California Municipal
Money Fund or New Jersey Municipal Money Fund.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON REDEMPTIONS. Shareholders with questions about
redemption requirements should consult their PaineWebber Investment Executives
or correspondent firms. Shareholders who redeem all their shares will receive
cash credits to their RMA or BSA brokerage accounts for dividends earned on
those shares to (but not including) the day of redemption. The redemption price
may be more or less than the purchase price, depending on the market value of
the Fund's portfolio; however, each Fund anticipates that its net asset value
per share will normally be $1.00 per share. See "Valuation of Shares."
21
<PAGE>
Because each Fund incurs certain fixed costs in maintaining shareholder
accounts, each Fund reserves the right to establish minimum initial purchase
requirements and to redeem Fund shares in any shareholder account of less than
$500 net asset value. If a Fund elects to do so, it will notify the shareholder
and provide the shareholder with an opportunity to increase the amount invested
to $500 or more within 60 days of the notice. This notice may appear on the
shareholder's account statement. If a shareholder requests redemption of shares
that were purchased recently, a Fund may delay payment until it is assured that
it has received good payment for the purchase of the shares. In the case of
purchases by check, this can take up to 15 days.
PaineWebber has the right to terminate an RMA or BSA brokerage account for
any reason. In such event, all Fund shares held in the shareholder's RMA or BSA
brokerage account will be redeemed and the proceeds sent to the shareholder
within three Business Days.
VALUATION OF SHARES
Each Fund uses its best efforts to maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per
share. Each Fund's net asset value per share is determined by dividing the value
of the securities plus any cash or other assets held by the Fund less all its
liabilities by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Each Fund's net asset
value is computed once each Business Day at 12:00 noon, Eastern time.
Each Fund values its portfolio securities using the amortized cost method of
valuation, under which market value is approximated by amortizing the difference
between the acquisition cost and value at maturity of an instrument on a
straight-line basis over its remaining life. All cash, receivables and current
payables are carried at their face value. Other assets are valued at fair value
as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the applicable board.
DIVIDENDS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS. Each Business Day, each Fund declares as dividends all of its
net investment income. Shares begin earning dividends on the day they are
purchased; dividends are accrued to shareholder accounts daily and are
automatically paid in additional Fund shares monthly. Shares do not earn
dividends on the day they are redeemed. Net investment income includes accrued
interest and earned discount (including both original issue and market
discounts), less amortization of premium and accrued expenses. Any amounts from
accretion of market discounts on Municipal Securities, which are taxable to each
Municipal Fund's shareholders, are included in the daily dividends.
Each Fund distributes any net short-term capital gain annually but may make
more frequent distributions of such gain if necessary to maintain its net asset
value per share at $1.00 or to avoid income or excise taxes. The Funds do not
expect to realize net long-term capital gain and thus do not anticipate payment
of any long-term capital gain distributions.
FEDERAL TAX. Each Fund intends to continue to qualify for treatment as a
regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code so that it
will be relieved of federal income tax on that part of its investment company
taxable income (consisting generally of taxable net investment income and net
short-term capital gain, if any) that it distributes to its shareholders.
Dividends paid by Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio
generally are taxable to their shareholders as ordinary income, notwithstanding
that such dividends are paid in
22
<PAGE>
additional Fund shares. Shareholders not subject to tax on their income,
however, generally are not required to pay tax on amounts distributed to them.
Distributions by a Municipal Fund that it designates as "exempt-interest
dividends" generally may be excluded from gross income by a shareholder.
Interest on indebtedness incurred by a shareholder to purchase or carry shares
of a Municipal Fund is not deductible.
Each Fund notifies its shareholders following the end of each calendar year
of the tax status of all distributions paid (or deemed paid) during that year.
The notice sent by each Municipal Fund specifies the amount of exempt-interest
dividends (and the portion thereof, if any, that is not AMT exempt interest) and
the amount of any taxable dividends.
Each Fund is required to withhold 31% of all taxable dividends payable to
any individuals and certain other non-corporate shareholders who (1) do not
provide the Fund or PaineWebber with a correct taxpayer identification number or
(2) otherwise are subject to backup withholding.
CALIFORNIA TAXES. If California Municipal Money Fund qualifies as a RIC
under the Internal Revenue Code and at least 50% of the value of its total
assets consists of qualifying California Municipal Securities, exempt-interest
dividends derived from interest on qualifying California Municipal Securities
will be exempt from California personal income tax ("California exempt-interest
dividends"), but not California franchise tax. Dividends derived from interest
on other Municipal Securities, taxable income and net capital gains are taxable
under California law at ordinary income rates. Interest on indebtedness incurred
by a shareholder to purchase or carry shares of the Fund is not deductible for
purposes of California personal income tax. California exempt-interest dividends
may affect the calculation of certain adjustments to alternative minimum taxable
income for shareholders that are corporations. Shareholders receive notification
annually stating the portion of the Fund's exempt-interest dividends
attributable to issuers in California and other states. The Fund itself will not
be subject to California franchise or corporate income tax on interest income
distributed to its shareholders.
NEW YORK STATE AND CITY TAXES. If New York Municipal Money Fund qualifies
as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code and at the end of each quarter of its
taxable year at least 50% of its assets is invested in qualifying New York
Municipal Securities, exempt-interest dividends paid by the Fund that are
derived from interest on qualifying New York Municipal Securities will be exempt
from New York State and City personal income taxes, but not corporate franchise
taxes. Dividends derived from interest on other Municipal Securities, taxable
income and net capital gains are not exempt from New York State and City
personal income taxes. Interest on indebtedness incurred by a shareholder to
purchase or carry shares of the Fund is not deductible for purposes of New York
State or City personal income taxes. Shareholders receive notification annually
stating the portion of the Fund's exempt-interest dividends attributable to
issuers in New York State and City and other states.
NEW JERSEY TAXES. New Jersey Municipal Money Fund anticipates that
substantially all dividends paid by it will not be subject to New Jersey
personal income tax. Distributions paid by a "qualified investment fund" will
not be subject to the New Jersey personal income tax to the extent the
distributions are attributable to income received as interest or gain from New
Jersey Municipal Securities, direct U.S. government obligations or certain other
specified obligations.
23
<PAGE>
To be classified as a qualified investment fund, at least 80% of the Fund's
investments must consist of such obligations. Distributions by a qualified
investment fund that are attributable to most other sources will be subject to
the New Jersey personal income tax. If the Fund continues to be classified as a
qualified investment fund, any gain on the redemption of its shares will not be
subject to the New Jersey personal income tax. To the extent a shareholder of
the Fund is obligated to pay state or local taxes outside of New Jersey,
dividends earned by such shareholder may represent taxable income.
New Jersey Municipal Money Fund shares are not subject to property taxation
by New Jersey or its political subdivisions.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. The foregoing is only a summary of some of the
important federal, state and local income tax considerations generally affecting
the Funds and their shareholders; see the Statement of Additional Information
for a further discussion. There may be other federal, state and local tax
considerations applicable to a particular investor. Prospective shareholders are
urged to consult their tax advisers.
MANAGEMENT
Each board, as part of its overall management responsibility, oversees
various organizations responsible for its Fund's day-to-day management.
PaineWebber, the Funds' investment adviser and administrator, provides a
continuous investment program for each Fund and supervises all aspects of its
operations. As sub-adviser to the Funds, Mitchell Hutchins makes and implements
investment decisions and, as sub-administrator, is responsible for the
day-to-day administration of the Funds.
PaineWebber receives a monthly fee for these services. For the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998, the effective advisory and administration fees paid to
PaineWebber as a percentage of a Fund's average daily net assets were as
follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Money Market Portfolio 0.50%
U.S. Government Portfolio 0.43%
Tax-Free Fund 0.44%
California Municipal Money Fund 0.47%
New Jersey Municipal Money Fund 0.50%
New York Municipal Money Fund 0.40%
</TABLE>
PaineWebber (not the Funds) pays Mitchell Hutchins a fee for its sub-advisory
and sub-administration services at an annual rate of 20% of the fee received by
PaineWebber from each Fund for advisory and administrative services.
PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins are located at 1285 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, New York 10019. Mitchell Hutchins is a wholly owned asset
management subsidiary of PaineWebber, which is in turn wholly owned by
PaineWebber Group Inc., a publicly owned financial services holding company. At
July 31, 1998, PaineWebber or Mitchell Hutchins was investment adviser or
sub-adviser to 32 registered investment companies with 69 separate portfolios
and aggregate assets in excess of $40.5 billion.
In accordance with procedures adopted by the Funds' boards, each Fund may
pay fees to PaineWebber for its services as lending agent in its portfolio
securities lending program. Mitchell Hutchins personnel may engage in securities
transactions for their own accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that
establishes procedures for personal investing and restricts certain
transactions.
DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS. PaineWebber is the distributor of each Fund's
shares and each Fund (other than Money Market Portfolio) has a separate plan of
distribution ("Plan"). Under their Plans, U.S. Government Portfolio, Tax-Free
Fund, California Municipal Money Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund each is
authorized to pay PaineWebber a 12b-1 service fee at the annual rate of up to
0.15% of the Fund's
24
<PAGE>
average daily net assets. Each of these Funds currently pays PaineWebber a 12b-1
service fee at the annual rate of 0.125% of its average daily net assets. Any
increase in this annual rate requires prior approval by the applicable board.
Under each Plan, PaineWebber uses the 12b-1 service fee to pay PaineWebber
Investment Executives and correspondent firms for shareholder servicing,
currently at the annual rate of 0.02% of the Fund's average daily net assets
held in accounts serviced by such Investment Executives and correspondent firms.
The fee is also used to offset PaineWebber's other expenses in servicing and
maintaining shareholder accounts. These expenses may include the costs of the
PaineWebber branch office in which the Investment Executive is based, such as
rent, communications equipment, employee salaries and other overhead costs.
During the period they are in effect, each Plan and a related distribution
contract ("Distribution Contract") obligates the affected Fund to pay the 12b-1
service fee to PaineWebber as compensation for its service activities and not as
reimbursement for specific expenses incurred. Thus, even if PaineWebber's
expenses exceed the 12b-1 fee, the Fund will not be obliged to pay more than the
fee, and if PaineWebber's expenses are less than the fee, it will retain its
full fee and realize a profit. Each Fund will pay the 12b-1 fee to PaineWebber
until either the Plan or the Distribution Contract is terminated or not renewed
for that Fund. In that event, PaineWebber's service expenses in excess of fees
received or accrued through the termination date will be PaineWebber's sole
responsibility and not obligations of the Fund.
Under a separate Plan, New Jersey Municipal Money Fund is authorized to
reimburse PaineWebber its expenses for distribution of that Fund's shares at the
annual rate of up to 0.12% of its average daily net assets. The expenses which
may be reimbursed include compensation to Investment Executives and other
employees of PaineWebber, printing of prospectuses and reports for other than
existing shareholders, and the preparation, printing and distribution of sales
literature and advertising materials. It is not anticipated that items
reimbursable under this Plan will generally include any profit to PaineWebber.
The Fund is not authorized to reimburse PaineWebber for expenses incurred more
than 12 months prior to the date of such reimbursement. PaineWebber anticipates
that there will be no carryover of expenses from one year to the next. The
expenses to be reimbursed are for activities primarily intended to result in the
sale of the Fund's shares and the maintenance of Fund accounts and account
balances, and there will be no reimbursement for the expenses relative to
PaineWebber's overhead. PaineWebber currently intends to pay its Investment
Executives at the annual rate of approximately 0.02% of the Fund's average daily
net assets held in accounts serviced by such Investment Executives and to use
the balance received under the Fund's Plan for other activities.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
From time to time each Fund may advertise its "yield" and "effective yield."
Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future performance. The "yield" of a Fund is the income on an
investment in that Fund over a specified seven-day period. This income is then
"annualized" (that is, assumed to be earned each week over a 52-week period) and
shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is calculated
similarly, but when annualized the income earned is assumed to be reinvested.
The "effective yield" will be higher than the "yield" because of the compounding
effect of this assumed reinvestment.
The Municipal Funds may also advertise "tax-equivalent yield" and
"tax-equivalent effective yield." "Tax-equivalent yield" shows the taxable yield
that would produce the same income after a stated rate of taxes as the
respective Fund's tax-exempt yield (yield excluding taxable income), with
adjustments for the portion, if any,
25
<PAGE>
of a Fund's yield that is not tax-exempt. "Tax-equivalent effective yield" shows
the taxable effective yield that would produce the same income after a stated
rate of taxes as the respective Fund's tax-exempt effective yield (effective
yield excluding taxable income), with adjustments for the portion, if any, of a
Fund's yield that is not tax-exempt.
Each Fund may also advertise other performance data, which may consist of
the annual or cumulative return (including realized net short-term capital gain,
if any) earned on a hypothetical investment in the Fund since it began
operations or for shorter periods. This return data may or may not assume
reinvestment of dividends (compounding).
The performance of shareholder accounts with small balances will differ from
the quoted performance because daily income for each shareholder account is
rounded to the nearest whole penny. Accordingly, very small shareholder accounts
(at current interest rates, approximately $36 or less in the case of the Money
Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio, and approximately $60 or less in
the case of Municipal Funds) that generate less than $0.005 per day of income
will earn no dividends.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Money Market and U.S. Government Portfolios are diversified series of
PaineWebber RMA Money Fund, Inc. ("Money Fund Corporation"). Both Tax-Free Fund
and Money Fund Corporation were incorporated in Maryland on July 2, 1982, and
each is registered with the SEC as an open-end, management investment company.
Money Fund Corporation has an authorized capitalization of 60 billion shares of
$0.001 par value common stock, 30 billion and 10 billion of which are designated
as shares of Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio, respectively.
The remaining shares are classified as shares of Money Fund Corporation's third
series. Tax-Free Fund, a diversified investment company, has an authorized
capitalization of 20 billion shares of $0.001 par value common stock.
California Municipal Money Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund are
non-diversified series of PaineWebber Managed Municipal Trust ("Managed
Municipal Trust"). The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment
company and was organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts by Declaration of Trust dated November 21, 1986. The Trust's
board has authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest of separate series, par value $0.001 per share.
New Jersey Municipal Money Fund is a non-diversified series of PaineWebber
Municipal Money Market Series. The Trust is registered as an open-end management
investment company and was organized as a business trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts by Declaration of Trust dated September 14, 1990.
The Trust's board has authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of
beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share.
Although each Fund is offering only its own shares, it is possible that a
Fund might become liable for a misstatement in the Prospectus about another
Fund. Each board has considered this factor in approving the use of a single,
combined Prospectus.
The Corporations and the Trusts do not hold annual shareholder meetings.
There normally will be no meetings of shareholders to elect board members unless
fewer than a majority of the board members holding office have been elected by
shareholders.
The directors are required to call a meeting of shareholders of a
Corporation when requested in writing to do so by the shareholders of record
holding at least 25% of the Corporation's outstanding shares.
Shareholders of record of no less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares
of the applicable
26
<PAGE>
Trust may remove a trustee by vote cast in person or by proxy at a meeting
called for that purpose. The trustees are required to call a meeting of
shareholders of the applicable Trust for the purposes of voting upon the
question of removal of any trustee when requested in writing to do so by the
shareholders of record of not less than 10% of the applicable Trust's
outstanding shares.
Each share of a Fund has equal voting, dividend and liquidation rights. The
shares of each series of Money Fund Corporation and Managed Municipal Trust will
be voted separately except when an aggregate vote of all series is required by
the 1940 Act.
Shareholders of a Fund are entitled to one vote for each full share held and
fractional votes for fractional shares held. Voting rights are not cumulative,
and as a result, the holders of more than 50% of the shares of a Corporation or
Trust may elect all of its board members.
CERTIFICATES. To avoid additional operating expense and for investor
convenience, stock certificates are not issued. Ownership of shares of each Fund
is recorded on a stock register by the Transfer Agent, and shareholders have the
same rights of ownership with respect to such shares as if certificates had been
issued.
REPORTS, CONFIRMATIONS AND STATEMENTS. Shareholders of each Fund receive
its audited annual and unaudited semiannual financial statements. All purchases
and redemptions of Fund shares are confirmed to shareholders at least quarterly.
To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, a Fund may mail
only one copy of each annual and semiannual report to shareholders having the
same last name and address on the Fund's records. However, each shareholder may
call 1-800-762-1000 to ask that copies of those materials be sent personally to
that shareholder.
CUSTODIAN AND TRANSFER AGENT. State Street Bank and Trust Company, One
Heritage Drive, North Quincy, Massachusetts 02171, is custodian of each Fund's
assets. PFPC Inc. ("PFPC"), a subsidiary of PNC Bank, N.A., 400 Bellevue
Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809, is each Fund's transfer and dividend
disbursing agent.

APPENDIX
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES
The following description of the principal Municipal Securities in which,
where applicable, Tax-Free Fund, California Municipal Money Fund, New Jersey
Municipal Money Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund may invest supplements
that provided elsewhere in the Prospectus.
MUNICIPAL BONDS. Municipal bonds are debt obligations issued to obtain
funds for various public purposes, the interest on which is exempt from federal
income tax in the opinion of bond counsel. The two principal classifications of
municipal bonds are "general obligation" and "revenue" bonds. General obligation
bonds are secured by the issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing
power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue bonds are payable only
from the revenue derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or,
in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific
revenue source such as from the user of the facility being financed. The term
"municipal bonds" also includes "moral obligation" issues, which are normally
issued by special purpose authorities. In the case of such issues, an express or
implied "moral obligation" of a related governmental unit is pledged to the
payment of the debt service, but is usually subject to annual budget
appropriations. The term "municipal bonds" also includes municipal lease
obligations, such as leases, installment purchase contracts and conditional
sales contracts, and certificates of participation therein. Municipal lease
obligations are issued by local and state governments and authorities to
purchase land or various types of equipment or facilities and may be subject to
annual budget appropriations. The Funds generally invest in municipal lease
obligations through certificates of participation. The term "municipal bonds"
also includes custodial receipts that represent an ownership interest in one or
more municipal bonds.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS AND PRIVATE ACTIVITY BONDS. IDBs and PABs are
issued by or on behalf of public authorities to finance various privately
operated facilities, such as airport or pollution control facilities. PABs
generally are such bonds issued after August 15, 1986. These obligations are
included within the term "municipal bonds" if the interest paid thereon is
exempt from federal income tax in the opinion of the bond issuer's counsel. IDBs
and PABs are in most cases revenue bonds and thus are not payable from the
unrestricted revenues of the issuer. The credit quality of IDBs and PABs is
usually directly related to the credit standing of the user of the facilities
being financed. Each Fund is authorized to invest more than 25% of its assets in
IDBs and PABs.
PARTICIPATION INTERESTS. Participation interests are interests in municipal
bonds, including IDBs and PABs, and floating and variable rate obligations that
are owned by banks or other financial institutions. These interests carry a
demand feature permitting the holder to tender them back to the bank or other
financial institution. The demand feature generally is backed by a letter of
credit, guarantee or liquidity support arrangement from a bank or other
financial institution, whose credit standing affects the credit quality of the
participation interest.
PUT BONDS. A put bond is a municipal bond that gives the holder the
unconditional right to sell the bond back to the issuer or a third party at a
specified price and exercise date, which is typically well in advance of the
bond's maturity date.
TAX-EXEMPT COMMERCIAL PAPER AND SHORT-TERM MUNICIPAL NOTES. Tax-exempt
commercial paper and short-term municipal notes include tax anticipation notes,
bond anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes and other forms of short-
term loans. Such notes are issued with a short-term maturity in anticipation of
the receipt of tax funds, the proceeds of bond placements or other revenues.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
The following supplements the information contained in the Prospectus
concerning the Funds' investment policies and limitations.
YIELDS AND RATINGS OF MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS; FIRST TIER SECURITIES. The
yields on the money market instruments in which the Funds invest (such as U.S.
government securities, commercial paper, bank obligations and municipal
securities) are dependent on a variety of factors, including general money
market conditions, conditions in the particular market for the obligation, the
financial condition of the issuer, the size of the offering, the maturity of the
obligation and the ratings of the issue. The ratings of nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs") represent their opinions as to the
quality of the obligations they undertake to rate. Ratings, however, are general
and are not absolute standards of quality. Consequently, obligations with the
same rating, maturity and interest rate may have different market prices.
Subsequent to its purchase by a Fund, an issue may cease to be rated or its
rating may be reduced. If a security in a Fund's portfolio ceases to be a "First
Tier" security, as defined below, or Mitchell Hutchins becomes aware that a
security has received a rating below the second highest rating by any NRSRO,
Mitchell Hutchins, and in certain cases the applicable Corporation's board of
directors or the applicable Trust's board of trustees (each a "board"), will
consider whether the Fund should continue to hold the obligation. A "First Tier"
security is a security that is either (1) rated in the highest short-term rating
category by at least two NRSROs, (2) rated in the highest short-term rating
category by a single NRSRO if only that NRSRO has assigned the obligation a
short-term rating, (3) issued by an issuer that has received such a short-term
rating with respect to a security that is comparable in priority and security
(4) subject to a guarantee rated in the highest short-term rating category or
issued by a guarantor that has received the highest short-term rating for a
comparable debt obligation or (5) unrated, but determined by Mitchell Hutchins
to be of comparable quality. A First Tier security rated in the highest
short-term rating category by a single NRSRO at the time of purchase that
subsequently receives a rating below the highest rating category from a
different NRSRO may continue to be considered a First Tier security.
Opinions relating to the validity of municipal securities and to the
exemption of interest thereon from federal income tax, California personal
income tax, New Jersey personal income tax, and New York State and New York City
personal income taxes (and also, when available, from the federal alternative
minimum tax) are rendered by bond counsel to the respective issuing authorities
at the time of issuance. Neither the Municipal Funds nor Mitchell Hutchins will
review the proceedings relating to the issuance of municipal securities or the
basis for such opinions. An issuer's obligations under its municipal securities
are subject to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting
the rights and remedies of creditors (such as the federal bankruptcy laws) and
federal, state and local laws that may be enacted that adversely affect the
tax-exempt status of interest on the municipal securities held by a Fund or of
the exempt-interest dividends received by a Fund's shareholders, extend the time
for payment of principal or interest, or both, or impose other constraints upon
enforcement of such obligations. There is also the possibility that, as a result
of litigation or other conditions, the power or ability of issuers to meet their
obligations for the payment of principal of and interest on their municipal
securities may be materially and adversely affected.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE DEMAND INSTRUMENTS. Each Fund may invest in
variable and floating rate securities with demand features. A demand feature
gives a Fund the right to sell the securities back to a specified party, usually
a remarketing agent, on a specified date, at a price equal to their amortized
cost
2
<PAGE>
plus accrued interest. A demand feature is often backed by a letter of credit,
guarantee or other liquidity support arrangement from a bank or other financial
institution that may be drawn upon demand, after specified notice, for all or
any part of the exercise price of the demand feature. Generally, a Fund intends
to exercise demand features (1) upon a default under the terms of the underlying
security, (2) to maintain the Fund's portfolio in accordance with its investment
objective and policies or applicable legal or regulatory requirements or (3) as
needed to provide liquidity to the Fund in order to meet redemption requests.
The ability of a bank or other financial institution to fulfill its obligations
under a letter of credit, guarantee or other liquidity arrangement might be
affected by possible financial difficulties of its borrowers, adverse interest
rate or economic conditions, regulatory limitations or other factors. The
interest rate on floating rate or variable rate securities ordinarily is
readjusted on the basis of the prime rate of the bank that originated the
financing or some other index or published rate, such as the 90-day U.S.
Treasury bill rate, or is otherwise reset to reflect market rates of interest.
Generally, these interest rate adjustments cause the market value of floating
rate and variable rate securities to fluctuate less than the market value of
fixed rate obligations.
Tender option bonds are long-term municipal securities sold by a bank or
other financial institution subject to a demand feature that gives the purchaser
the right to sell them to the bank or other financial institution at par plus
accrued interest at designated times (the "tender option"). The Funds may invest
in bonds with tender options that may be exercisable at intervals ranging from
daily to 397 days, and the interest rate on the bonds is typically reset at the
end of the applicable interval in an attempt to cause the bonds to have a market
value that approximates their par value. The tender option may not be
exercisable in the event of a default on, or significant downgrading of, the
underlying municipal securities, and may be subject to other conditions.
Therefore, a Fund's ability to exercise the tender option will be affected by
the credit standing of both the bank or other financial institution involved and
the issuer of the underlying securities.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a
Fund purchases securities or other obligations and simultaneously commits to
resell them to the counterparty at an agreed-upon date or upon demand and at a
price reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to the coupon rate or
maturity of the purchased obligations. A Fund maintains custody of the
underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular
custodian or through a special "tri-party" custodian or sub-custodian that
maintains separate accounts for both the Fund and its counterparty. Thus the
obligation of the counterparty to pay the repurchase price on the date agreed to
or upon demand is, in effect, secured by such obligations. If their value
becomes less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed upon additional amount,
the counterparty must provide additional collateral so that at all times the
collateral is at least equal to the repurchase price plus any agreed upon
additional amount. The difference between the total amount to be received upon
repurchase of the securities and the price that was paid by a Fund upon
acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Money Market and U.S. Government Portfolios
may each enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and securities
dealers up to an aggregate value of not more than 5% of its net assets. Such
agreements involve the sale of securities held by a Fund subject to the Fund's
agreement to repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon date or upon demand and
at a price reflecting a market rate of interest. Such agreements are considered
to be borrowings and may be entered into only for temporary or emergency
purposes. While a reverse repurchase agreement is outstanding, a
3
<PAGE>
Fund's custodian segregates assets to cover the Fund's obligations under the
reverse repurchase agreement. See "Investment Policies and
Restrictions--Segregated Accounts."
ILLIQUID SECURITIES. No Fund will invest more than 10% of its net assets in
illiquid securities. The term "illiquid securities" for this purpose means
securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course
of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued the
securities and includes, among other things, repurchase agreements maturing in
more than seven days, restricted securities and municipal lease obligations
(including certificates of participation) other than those Mitchell Hutchins has
determined to be liquid pursuant to guidelines established by the applicable
board. To the extent a Fund invests in illiquid securities, it may not be able
to readily liquidate such investments and may have to sell other investments if
necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.
Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933
("1933 Act") and may be sold only in privately negotiated or other exempted
transactions or after a 1933 Act registration statement has become effective.
Where registration is required, a Fund may be obligated to pay all or part of
the registration expenses and a considerable period may elapse between the time
of the decision to sell and the time the Fund may be permitted to sell a
security under an effective registration statement. If during such a period,
adverse market conditions were to develop, a Fund might obtain a less favorable
price than prevailed when it decided to sell.
However, not all restricted securities are illiquid. A large institutional
market has developed for many U.S. and foreign securities that are not
registered under the 1933 Act. Institutional investors generally will not seek
to sell these instruments to the general public, but instead will often depend
either on an efficient institutional market in which such unregistered
securities can be readily resold or on an issuer's ability to honor a demand for
repayment. Therefore, the fact that there are contractual or legal restrictions
on resale to the general public or certain institutions is not dispositive of
the liquidity of such investments.
Institutional markets for restricted securities have developed as a result
of Rule 144A, which establishes a "safe harbor" from the registration
requirements of the 1933 Act for resales of certain securities to qualified
institutional buyers, providing both readily ascertainable values for restricted
securities and the ability to liquidate an investment in order to satisfy share
redemption orders. Such markets include automated systems for the trading,
clearance and settlement of unregistered securities of domestic and foreign
issuers, such as the PORTAL System sponsored by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. An insufficient number of qualified institutional
buyers interested in purchasing Rule 144A-eligible restricted securities held by
a Fund, however, could affect adversely the marketability of such portfolio
securities, and a Fund might be unable to dispose of such securities promptly or
at favorable prices.
The boards have delegated the function of making day-to-day determinations
of liquidity to Mitchell Hutchins, pursuant to guidelines approved by each
board. Mitchell Hutchins takes into account a number of factors in reaching
liquidity decisions, including (1) the frequency of trades for the security, (2)
the number of dealers that make quotes for the security, (3) the number of
dealers that have undertaken to make a market in the security, (4) the number of
other potential purchasers and (5) the nature of the security and how trading is
effected (E.G., the time needed to sell the security, how offers are solicited
and the mechanics of transfer). Mitchell Hutchins monitors the liquidity of
restricted securities held by the Funds and reports periodically on such
decisions to the applicable board.
4
<PAGE>
In making liquidity determinations with respect to municipal lease
obligations, Mitchell Hutchins takes into account a number of additional factors
relating specifically to the credit quality of the obligations, including, where
appropriate, (1) whether the underlying lease can be cancelled, (2) what
assurance there is that the assets underlying the lease can be sold, (3) the
strength of the lessee's general credit (E.G., its administrative, economic and
financial characteristics), (4) the likelihood that the municipality will
discontinue appropriating funding for the property because the property is no
longer deemed essential to the operations of the municipality (E.G., the
potential for an "event of nonappropriation") and (5) the legal recourse in the
event of a failure to appropriate. In making liquidity determinations, Mitchell
Hutchins will distinguish between direct investments in municipal lease
obligations (or participations therein) and investments in securities that may
be supported by municipal lease obligations or certificates of participation
therein. Because these municipal lease obligation-backed securities are based on
a well-established means of securitization, Mitchell Hutchins does not believe
that investing in such securities presents the same liquidity issues as direct
investments in municipal lease obligations.
LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Each Fund is authorized to lend up to
33 1/3% of its total assets to broker-dealers or institutional investors that
Mitchell Hutchins deems qualified, but only when the borrower maintains
acceptable collateral with the Fund's custodian, marked to market daily, at
least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest.
Acceptable collateral is limited to cash, U.S. government securities and
irrevocable letters of credit that meet certain guidelines established by
Mitchell Hutchins. A Fund may reinvest cash collateral in money market
instruments or other short-term liquid investments. In determining whether to
lend securities to a particular broker-dealer or institutional investor,
Mitchell Hutchins will consider, and during the period of the loan will monitor,
all relevant facts and circumstances, including the creditworthiness of the
borrower. Each Fund will retain authority to terminate any of its loans at any
time. A Fund may pay reasonable fees in connection with a loan and may pay the
borrower or placing broker a negotiated portion of the interest earned on the
reinvestment of cash held as collateral. A Fund will receive amounts equivalent
to any interest or other distributions on the securities loaned. A Fund will
regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise beneficial rights, such
as voting and subscription rights, when regaining such rights is considered to
be in the Fund's interest.
Pursuant to procedures adopted by the boards governing each Fund's
securities lending program, PaineWebber has been retained to serve as lending
agent for each Fund. The boards also have authorized the payment of fees
(including fees calculated as a percentage of invested cash collateral) to
PaineWebber for these services. Each board periodically reviews all portfolio
securities loan transactions for which PaineWebber acted as lending agent.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. The Funds may purchase
securities on a "when-issued" or "delayed delivery" basis. A security purchased
on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis is recorded as an asset on the
commitment date and is subject to changes in market value, generally based upon
changes in the level of interest rates. Thus, fluctuation in the value of the
security from the time of the commitment date will affect a Fund's net asset
value. When a Fund commits to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis, its custodian segregates assets to cover the amount of the
commitment. See "Investment Policies and Restrictions--Segregated Accounts."
5
<PAGE>
SEGREGATED ACCOUNTS. When a Fund enters into certain transactions that
involve obligations to make future payments to third parties, including the
purchase of securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis or reverse
repurchase agreements, the Fund will maintain with an approved custodian in a
segregated account cash or liquid securities, marked to market daily, in an
amount at least equal to the Fund's obligation or commitment under such
transactions.
CERTAIN POLICIES OF THE MUNICIPAL FUNDS
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. The types of municipal securities identified in the
Prospectus may include obligations of issuers whose revenues are primarily
derived from mortgage loans on housing projects for moderate- to low-income
families. The Municipal Funds also may purchase mortgage subsidy bonds with a
remaining maturity of less than 13 months that are issued to subsidize mortgages
on single family homes and "moral obligation" bonds with a remaining maturity of
less than 13 months that are normally issued by special purpose public
authorities. In some cases the repayment of such bonds depends upon annual
legislative appropriations; in other cases repayment is a legal obligation of
the issuer, and if the issuer is unable to meet its obligations, repayment
becomes a moral commitment of a related government unit (subject, however, to
such appropriations).
PUT BONDS. The Municipal Funds may each invest in put bonds that have a
fixed rate of interest and a final maturity beyond the date on which the put may
be exercised. If the put is a "one time only" put, the Fund ordinarily will
either sell the bond or put the bond, depending upon the more favorable price.
If the bond has a series of puts after the first put, the bond will be held as
long as, in the judgment of Mitchell Hutchins, it is in the best interest of the
Fund to do so. There is no assurance that an issuer of a put bond acquired by
the Fund will be able to repurchase the bond on the exercise date, if the Fund
chooses to exercise its right to put the bond back to the issuer.
STAND-BY COMMITMENTS. A Municipal Fund may acquire stand-by commitments
under unusual market conditions to facilitate portfolio liquidity. Pursuant to a
stand-by commitment, a municipal bond dealer agrees to purchase the securities
that are the subject of the commitment at an amount equal to (1) the acquisition
cost (excluding any accrued interest paid on acquisition), less any amortized
market premium and plus any accrued market or original issue discount, plus (2)
all interest accrued on the securities since the last interest payment date or
the date the securities were purchased, whichever is later.
A Fund will enter into stand-by commitments only with those banks or other
dealers that, in the opinion of Mitchell Hutchins, present minimal credit risk.
A Fund's right to exercise stand-by commitments will be unconditional and
unqualified. Stand-by commitments will not be transferable by a Fund, although a
Fund may sell the underlying securities to a third party at any time. A Fund may
pay for stand-by commitments either separately in cash or by paying a higher
price for the securities that are acquired subject to such a commitment (thus
reducing the yield to maturity otherwise available for the same securities). The
acquisition of a stand-by commitment will not ordinarily affect the valuation or
maturity of the underlying municipal securities. Stand-by commitments acquired
by a Fund will be valued at zero in determining net asset value. Whether a Fund
paid directly or indirectly for a stand-by commitment, its cost will be treated
as unrealized depreciation and will be amortized over the period the commitment
is held by the Fund.

PARTICIPATION INTERESTS. The Municipal Funds may invest in participation
interests in municipal bonds, including industrial development bonds ("IDBs"),
private activity bonds ("PABs") and floating and variable rate securities. A
participation interest gives a Fund an undivided interest in a municipal bond
owned by a bank or other financial institution. A Fund has the right to sell the
instrument back to the financial institution. As discussed above under "Variable
and Floating Rate Demand Instruments," to the extent that payment of an
obligation is backed by a letter of credit, guarantee or liquidity support
arrangement from a bank or other financial institution, such payment may be
subject to the financial institution's ability to satisfy that commitment.
Mitchell Hutchins will monitor the pricing, quality and liquidity of the
participation interests held by each Municipal Fund, and the credit standing of
financial institutions issuing letters of credit, guarantees or liquidity
support arrangements supporting such participation interests, on the basis of
published financial information, reports of rating services and bank analytical
services. Under normal market conditions, New Jersey Municipal Money Fund will
not invest more than 25% of its total assets in participation interests or other
securities issued by or purchased from banks or other financial institutions.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL SECURITIES
During the early 1990's, California experienced significant financial
difficulties, which reduced its credit standing, but the State's finances have
improved significantly since 1994, with ratings increases since 1996. The
ratings of certain related debt of other issuers for which California has an
outstanding lease purchase, guarantee or other contractual obligation (such as
for state-insured hospital bonds) are generally linked directly to California's
rating. Should the financial condition of California deteriorate again, its
credit ratings could be reduced, and the market value and marketability of all
outstanding notes and bonds issued by California, its public authorities or
local governments could be adversely affected.
ECONOMIC FACTORS
California's economy is the largest among the 50 states and one of the
largest in the world. The State's population of almost 33 million represents
over 12% of the total United States population and grew by 26% in the 1980s,
more than double the national rate. Population growth slowed to less than 1%
annually in 1994 and 1995, but rose to 1.8% in 1996. During the early 1990's,
net population growth in the State was due to births and foreign immigration,
but in recent years, in-migration from the other states has increased.
Total personal income in the State, at an estimated $865 billion in 1997,
accounts for almost 13% of all personal income in the nation. Total employment
is over 14 million, the majority of which is in the service, trade and
manufacturing sectors.
From mid-1990 to late 1993, the State suffered a recession with the worst
economic, fiscal and budget conditions since the 1930s. Construction,
manufacturing (especially aerospace), and financial services, among others, were
all severely affected, particularly in Southern California. Employment levels
stabilized by late 1993 and pre-recession job levels were reached in 1996.
Unemployment, while remaining higher than the national average, has come down
from its 10% recession peak to 5.6% in summer, 1998. Economic indicators show a
steady and strong recovery underway in California since the start of 1994
particularly in high technology manufacturing and services, including computer
software, electronic
7
<PAGE>
manufacturing and motion picture/television production, and other services,
entertainment and tourism, and both residential and commercial construction. The
Asian economic crisis beginning in mid-1997 will reduce exports to that region,
although this has been offset by increased exports to Latin America and other
areas. Overall, the Asian crisis is expected to have a moderate dampening effect
on the State's economy, but the economy is still expected to outpace the nation
in 1998 and 1999. Any delay or reversal of the recovery may create new
shortfalls in State revenues.
CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON TAXES, OTHER CHARGES AND APPROPRIATIONS
LIMITATION ON PROPERTY TAXES. Certain California Municipal Obligations may
be obligations of issuers which rely in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, on AD VALOREM property taxes as a source of revenue. The taxing
powers of California local governments and districts are limited by Article
XIIIA of the California Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1978 and commonly
known as "Proposition 13." Briefly, Article XIIIA limits to 1% of full cash
value of the rate of AD VALOREM property taxes on real property and generally
restricts the reassessment of property to 2% per year, except under new
construction or change of ownership (subject to a number of exemptions). Taxing
entities may, however, raise AD VALOREM taxes above the 1% limit to pay debt
service on voter-approved bonded indebtedness.
Under Article XIIIA, the basic 1% AD VALOREM tax levy is applied against the
assessed value of property as of the owner's date of acquisition (or as of March
1, 1975, if acquired earlier), subject to certain adjustments. This system has
resulted in widely varying amounts of tax on similarly situated properties.
Several lawsuits have been filed challenging the acquisition-based assessment
system of Proposition 13, but it was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1992.
Article XIIIA prohibits local governments from raising revenues through AD
VALOREM taxes above the 1% limit; it also requires voters of any governmental
unit to give two-thirds approval to levy any "special tax." Court decisions,
however, allowed a non-voter approved levy of "general taxes" which were not
dedicated to a specific use.
LIMITATIONS ON OTHER TAXES, FEES AND CHARGES. On November 5, 1996, the
voters of the State approved Proposition 218, called the "Right to Vote on Taxes
Act." Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State Constitution,
which contain a number of provisions affecting the ability of local agencies to
levy and collect both existing and future taxes, assessments, fees and charges.
Article XIIIC requires that all new or increased local taxes be submitted to
the electorate before they become effective. Taxes for general governmental
purposes require a majority vote and taxes for specific purposes require a
two-thirds vote. Further, any general purpose tax which was imposed, extended or
increased without voter approval after December 31, 1994 must be approved by a
majority vote within two years.
Article XIIID contains several new provisions making it generally more
difficult for local agencies to levy and maintain "assessments" for municipal
services and programs. Article XIIID also contains several new provisions
affecting "fees" and "charges", defined for purposes of Article XIIID to mean
"any levy other than an AD VALOREM tax, a special tax, or an assessment, imposed
by a [local government] upon a
8
<PAGE>
parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership, including a user
fee or charge for a property related service." All new and existing property
related fees and charges must conform to requirements prohibiting, among other
things, fees and charges which generate revenues exceeding the funds required to
provide the property related service or are used for unrelated purposes. There
are new notice, hearing and protest procedures for levying or increasing
property related fees and charges, and, except for fees or charges for sewer,
water and refuse collection services (or fees for electrical and gas service,
which are not treated as "property related" for purposes of Article XIIID), no
property related fee or charge may be imposed or increased without majority
approval by the property owners subject to the fee or charge or, at the option
of the local agency, two-thirds voter approval by the electorate residing in the
affected area.
In addition to the provisions described above, Article XIIIC removes
limitations on the initiative power in matters of local taxes, assessments, fees
and charges. Consequently, local voters could, by future initiative, repeal,
reduce or prohibit the future imposition or increase of any local tax,
assessment, fee or charge. It is unclear how this right of local initiative may
be used in cases where taxes or charges have been or will be specifically
pledged to secure debt issues.
The interpretation and application of Proposition 218 will ultimately be
determined by the courts with respect to a number of matters, and it is not
possible at this time to predict with certainly the outcome of such
determinations. Proposition 218 is generally viewed as restricting the fiscal
flexibility of local governments, and for this reason, some ratings of
California cities and counties have been, and others may be, reduced.
APPROPRIATIONS LIMITS. The State and its local governments are subject to
an annual "appropriations limit" imposed by Article XIIIB of the California
Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1979 and significantly amended by
Propositions 98 and 111 in 1988 and 1990, respectively. Article XIIIB prohibits
the State or any covered local government from spending "appropriations subject
to limitation" in excess of the appropriations limit imposed. "Appropriations
subject to limitation" are authorizations to spend "proceeds of taxes," which
consist of tax revenues and certain other funds, including proceeds from
regulatory licenses, user charges or other fees, to the extent that such
proceeds exceed the cost of providing the product or service, but "proceeds of
taxes" exclude most State subventions to local governments. No limit is imposed
on appropriations of funds which are not "proceeds of taxes," such as reasonable
user charges or fees, and certain other non-tax funds, including bond proceeds.
Among the expenditures not included in the Article XIIIB appropriations
limit are (1) the debt service cost of bonds issued or authorized prior to
January 1, 1979, or subsequently authorized by the voters, (2) appropriations
arising from certain emergencies declared by the Governor, (3) appropriations
for certain capital outlay projects, (4) appropriations by the State of
post-1989 increases in gasoline taxes and vehicle weight fees, and (5)
appropriations made in certain cases of emergency.
The appropriations limit for each year is adjusted annually to reflect
changes in cost of living and population, and any transfers of service
responsibilities between government units. The definitions for such adjustments
were liberalized in 1990 to follow more closely growth in the State's economy.
"Excess" revenues are measured over a two year cycle. Local governments must
return any excess to taxpayers by rate reductions. The State must refund 50% of
any excess, with the other 50% paid to schools
9
<PAGE>
and community colleges. With more liberal annual adjustment factors since 1988,
and depressed revenues since 1990 because of the recession, few governments are
currently operating near their spending limits, but this condition may change
over time. Local governments may by voter approval exceed their spending limits
for up to four years. During fiscal year 1986-87, State receipts from proceeds
of taxes exceeded its appropriations limit by $1.1 billion, which was returned
to taxpayers. Since that year, appropriations subject to limitation have been
under the State limit. State appropriations were $6.3 billion under the limit
for fiscal year 1997-98.
Because of the complex nature of Articles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID of
the California Constitution, the ambiguities and possible inconsistencies in
their terms, and the impossibility of predicting future appropriations or
changes in population and cost of living, and the probability of continuing
legal challenges, it is not currently possible to determine fully the impact of
these Articles on California Municipal Obligations or on the ability of the
State or local governments to pay debt service on such California Municipal
Obligations. It is not possible, at the present time, to predict the outcome of
any pending litigation with respect to the ultimate scope, impact or
constitutionality of these Articles or the impact of any such determinations
upon State agencies or local governments, or upon their ability to pay debt
service on their obligations. Further initiatives or legislative changes in laws
or the California Constitution may also affect the ability of the State or local
issuers to repay their obligations.
OBLIGATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Under the California Constitution, debt service on outstanding general
obligation bonds is the second charge to the General Fund after support of the
public school system and public institutions of higher education. As of August
1, 1998, the State had outstanding approximately $18.7 billion of long-term
general obligation bonds, plus $1.1 billion of general obligation commercial
paper which will be refunded by long-term bonds in the future, and $6.7 billion
of lease-purchase debt supported by the State General Fund. The State also had
about $7.8 billion of authorized and unissued long-term general obligation bonds
and lease-purchase debt. In FY 1997-98, debt service on general obligation bonds
and lease purchase debt was approximately 4.4% of General Fund revenues.
RECENT FINANCIAL RESULTS
The principal sources of General Fund revenues in 1996-1997 were the
California personal income tax (47% of total revenues), the sales tax (34%),
bank and corporation taxes (12%), and the gross premium tax on insurance (2%).
The State maintains a Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties (the "SFEU"),
derived from General Fund revenues, as a reserve to meet cash needs of the
General Fund, but which is required to be replenished as soon as sufficient
revenues are available. Year-end balances in the SFEU are included for financial
reporting purposes in the General Fund balance. Because of the recession and an
accumulated budget deficit, no reserve was budgeted in the SFEU from 1992-93 to
1995-96.
GENERAL. Throughout the 1980's, State spending increased rapidly as the
State population and economy also grew rapidly, including increased spending for
many assistance programs to local governments, which were constrained by
Proposition 13 and other laws. The largest State program is assistance to local
public school districts. In 1988, an initiative (Proposition 98) was enacted
which (subject
10
<PAGE>
to suspension by a two-thirds vote of the Legislature and the Governor)
guarantees local school districts and community college districts a minimum
share of State General Fund revenues (currently about 35%).
RECENT BUDGETS. As a result of the severe economic recession from 1990-94
and other factors, the State experienced substantial revenue shortfalls, and
greater than anticipated social service costs, in the early 1990's. The State
accumulated and sustained a budget deficit in the budget reserve, the SFEU,
approaching $2.8 billion at its peak at June 30, 1993. The Legislature and
Governor agreed on a number of different steps to respond to the adverse
financial conditions and produce Budget Acts in the Years 1991-92 to 1994-95
(although not all of these actions were taken in each year):
- significant cuts in health and welfare program expenditures;
- transfers of program responsibilities and some funding sources from the
State to local governments, coupled with some reduction in mandates on local
government;
- transfer of about $3.6 billion in annual local property tax revenues from
cities, counties, redevelopment agencies and some other districts to local
school districts, thereby reducing State funding for schools;
- reduction in growth of support for higher education programs, coupled with
increases in student fees;
- revenue increases (particularly in the 1992-93 Fiscal Year budget), most
of which were for a short duration;
- increased reliance on aid from the federal government to offset the costs
of incarcerating, educating and providing health and welfare services to
undocumented aliens (although these efforts have produced much less federal aid
than the State Administration had requested); and
- various one-time adjustments and accounting changes (some of which have
been challenged in court and reversed).
A consequence of the accumulated budget deficits in the early 1990's,
together with other factors such as disbursement of funds to local school
districts "borrowed" from future fiscal years and hence not shown in the annual
budget, was to significantly reduce the State's cash resources available to pay
its ongoing obligations. The State's cash condition became so serious that from
late spring 1992 until 1995, the State had to rely on issuance of short term
notes which matured in a subsequent fiscal year to finance its ongoing deficit,
and pay current obligations. For a two-month period in the summer of 1992,
pending adoption of the annual Budget Act, the State was forced to issue
registered warrants (IOUs) to some of its suppliers, employees and other
creditors. The last of these deficit notes was repaid in April, 1996.
The State's financial condition improved markedly during the 1995-96,
1996-97 and 1997-98 fiscal years, with a combination of better than expected
revenues, slowdown in growth of social welfare programs, and continued spending
restraint based on the actions taken in earlier years. The State's cash
11
<PAGE>
position also improved, and no external deficit borrowing has occurred over the
end of these three fiscal years.
The economy grew strongly during these fiscal years, and as a result, the
General Fund took in substantially greater tax revenues (around $2.2 billion in
1995-96, $1.6 billion in 1996-97 and $2.1 billion in 1997-98) than were
initially planned when the budgets were enacted. These additional funds were
largely directed to school spending as mandated by Proposition 98, and to make
up shortfalls from reduced federal health and welfare aid in 1995-96 and
1996-97. The accumulated budget deficit from the recession years was finally
eliminated. The Department of Finance estimates that the State's budget reserve
(the SFEU) totaled about $400 million as of June 30, 1997 and $1.8 billion at
June 30, 1998.
FY 1997-98 BUDGET. In May 1997, the California Supreme Court ruled that the
State had acted illegally in 1993 and 1994 by using a deferral of payments to
the Public Employees Retirement Fund to help balance earlier budgets. In
response to this court decision, the Governor ordered an immediate repayment to
the Retirement Fund of about $1.235 billion, which was made in late July, 1997,
and substantially "used up" the then-expected additional General Fund revenues
for the fiscal year. The 1997-98 Budget Act provided another year of rapidly
increasing funding for K-14 public education. Support for higher education units
in the State also increased by about 6 percent. Because of the pension payment,
most other State programs were funded at levels consistent with prior years, and
several initiatives had to be dropped. The final results for FY 1997-98 showed
General Fund revenues and transfers of $54.7 billion and expenditures of $53.3
billion.
Part of the 1997-98 Budget Act was completion of State welfare reform
legislation to implement the new federal law passed in 1996. The new State
program, called "CalWORKs," became effective January 1, 1998, and emphasizes
programs to bring aid recipients into the workforce. As required by federal law,
new time limits are placed on receipt of welfare aid.
FY 1998-99 BUDGET. The FY 1998-99 Budget Act was signed on August 21, 1998.
In signing the Budget Act, the Governor vetoed $1.360 billion of General Fund
expenditures, and $160 million of Special Fund expenditures, resulting in
spending of $57.3 billion for the General Fund and $14.7 billion for Special
Funds. Of these vetoes, the Governor "set aside" $250 million to be used for
education programs supported by the Governor, but only if additional legislation
is passed before the end of the current session on August 31, 1998. The Budget
Act assumed General Fund revenues and transfers in FY 1998-99 of $57.0 billion.
Assuming the "set aside" monies are subsequently appropriated, the Governor
projects the balance in the SFEU at June 30, 1999 will be about $1.255 billion.
As has been the case in the last several years, spending on K-12 education
increased significantly, by a total of $2.2 billion, with projected per-pupil
spending of $5,695, more than one-third higher than the per-pupil spending
during the last recession year of 1993-94. Funding to support higher education
was also increased significantly (15% for the University of California and 14%
for the California State University system). The Budget included some increases
in health and welfare programs, including the first increase in the monthly
welfare grant since levels were cut during the recession.
12
<PAGE>
One of the most important elements of the 1998-99 Budget Act was agreement
on substantial tax cuts. The largest of these is a phased-in cut in the Vehicle
License Fee (an annual tax on the value of cars registered in the State, the
"VLF"). Starting in 1999, the VLF is reduced by 25%. Under current law, VLF
funds are automatically transferred to cities and counties, so the new
legislation provides for the General Fund to make up the reductions. If State
General Fund revenues continue to grow above certain targeted levels in future
years, the cut could reach as much as 67.5% by the year 2003. The initial 25%
VLF cut will be offset by about $500 million in General Fund money in FY
1998-99, and $1 billion for future years. Other tax cuts in FY 1998-99 include
an increase in the dependent credit exemption for personal income tax filers,
restoration of a renter's tax credit for taxpayers, and a variety of business
tax relief measures. The total cost of these tax cuts is estimated at $1.4
billion for FY 1998-99.
Although, as noted, the 1998-99 Budget Act projects a budget reserve in the
SFEU of $1.255 billion on June 30, 1999, the General Fund fund balance on that
date also reflects $1.0 billion of "loans" which the General Fund made to local
schools in the recession years, representing cash outlays above the mandatory
minimum funding level. Settlement of litigation over these transactions in July
1996 calls for repayment of these loans over the period ending in 2001-02, about
equally split between outlays from the General Fund and from schools'
entitlements. The 1998-99 Budget Act contained a $300 million appropriation from
the General Fund toward this settlement
Although the State's strong economy is producing record revenues to the
State government, the State's budget continues to be under stress from mandated
spending on education, a rising prison population, and social needs of a growing
population with many immigrants. These factors which limit State spending growth
also put pressure on local governments. There can be no assurances that, if
economic conditions weaken, or other factors intercede, the State will not
experience budget gaps in the future.
BOND RATING
The ratings on California's long-term general obligation bonds were reduced
in the early 1990's from "AAA" levels which had existed prior to the recession.
After 1996, Fitch and Standard & Poor's raised their ratings of California's
general obligation bonds, which as of August 1998 were assigned ratings of "A+"
from Standard & Poor's, "A1" from Moody's and "AA-" from Fitch.
There can be no assurance that such ratings will be maintained in the
future. It should be noted that the creditworthiness of obligations issued by
local California issuers may be unrelated to creditworthiness of obligations
issued by the State of California, and that there is no obligation on the part
of the State to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The State is involved in certain legal proceedings (described in the State's
recent financial statements) that, if decided against the State, may require the
State to make significant future expenditures or may substantially impair
revenues. Trial courts have recently entered tentative decisions or injunctions
which would overturn several parts of the State's recent budget compromises. The
matters covered by these
13
<PAGE>
lawsuits include reductions in welfare payments and the use of certain cigarette
tax funds for health costs. All of these cases are subject to further
proceedings and appeals, and if California eventually loses, the final remedies
may not have to be implemented in one year.
OBLIGATIONS OF OTHER ISSUERS
OTHER ISSUERS OF CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS. There are a number of
State agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions of the State that
issue Municipal Obligations, some of which may be conduit revenue obligations
payable from payments from private borrowers. These entities are subject to
various economic risks and uncertainties, and the credit quality of the
securities issued by them may vary considerably from the credit quality of
obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the State.
STATE ASSISTANCE. Property tax revenues received by local governments
declined more than 50% following passage of Proposition 13. Subsequently, the
California Legislature enacted measures to provide for the redistribution of the
State's General Fund surplus to local agencies, the reallocation of certain
State revenues to local agencies and the assumption of certain governmental
functions by the State to assist municipal issuers to raise revenues. Total
local assistance from the State's General Fund was budgeted at approximately 75%
of General Fund expenditures in recent years, including the effect of
implementing reductions in certain aid programs. To reduce State General Fund
support for school districts, the 1992-93 and 1993-94 Budget Acts caused local
governments to transfer $3.9 billion of property tax revenues to school
districts, representing loss of the post-Proposition 13 "bailout" aid. Local
governments have in return received greater revenues and greater flexibility to
operate health and welfare programs. However, except for agreement in 1997 on a
new program for the State to substantially take over funding for local trial
courts (saving cities and counties some $400 million annually), there has been
no large-scale reversal of the property tax shift to help local government.
To the extent the State should be constrained by its Article XIIIB
appropriations limit, or its obligation to conform to Proposition 98, or other
fiscal considerations, the absolute level, or the rate of growth, of State
assistance to local governments may continue to be reduced. Any such reductions
in State aid could compound the serious fiscal constraints already experienced
by many local governments, particularly counties. Los Angeles County, the
largest in the State, was forced to make significant cuts in services and
personnel, particularly in the health care system, in order to balance its
budget in FY1996-96 and FY1996-97. Los Angeles County's debt was downgraded by
Moody's and S&P in the summer of 1995. Orange County, which emerged from Federal
Bankruptcy Court protection in June 1996, has significantly reduced county
services and personnel, and faces strict financial conditions following large
investment fund losses in 1994 which resulted in bankruptcy.
Counties and cities may face further budgetary pressures as a result of
changes in welfare and public assistance programs, which were enacted in August,
1997 in order to comply with the federal welfare reform law. Generally, counties
play a large role in the new system, and are given substantial flexibility to
develop and administer programs to bring aid recipients into the workforce.
Counties are also given financial incentives if either at the county or
statewide level, the "Welfare-to-Work" programs exceed minimum targets; counties
are also subject to financial penalties for failure to meet such targets.
Counties
14
<PAGE>
remain responsible to provide "general assistance" for able-bodied indigents who
are ineligible for other welfare programs. The long-term financial impact of the
new CalWORKs system on local governments is still unknown.
ASSESSMENT BONDS. California Municipal Obligations which are assessment
bonds may be adversely affected by a general decline in real estate values or a
slowdown in real estate sales activity. In many cases, such bonds are secured by
land which is undeveloped at the time of issuance but anticipated to be
developed within a few years after issuance. In the event of such reduction or
slowdown, such development may not occur or may be delayed, thereby increasing
the risk of a default on the bonds. Because the special assessments or taxes
securing these bonds are not the personal liability of the owners of the
property assessed, the lien on the property is the only security for the bonds.
Moreover, in most cases the issuer of these bonds is not required to make
payments on the bonds in the event of delinquency in the payment of assessments
or taxes, except from amounts, if any, in a reserve fund established for the
bonds.
CALIFORNIA LONG TERM LEASE OBLIGATIONS. Based on a series of court
decisions, certain long-term lease obligations, though typically payable from
the general fund of the State or a municipality, are not considered
"indebtedness" requiring voter approval. Such leases, however, are subject to
"abatement" in the event the facility being leased is unavailable for beneficial
use and occupancy by the municipality during the term of the lease. Abatement is
not a default, and there may be no remedies available to the holders of the
certificates evidencing the lease obligation in the event abatement occurs. The
most common cases of abatement are failure to complete construction of the
facility before the end of the period during which lease payments have been
capitalized and uninsured casualty losses to the facility (E.G., due to
earthquake). In the event abatement occurs with respect to a lease obligation,
lease payments may be interrupted (if all available insurance proceeds and
reserves are exhausted) and the certificates may not be paid when due. Although
litigation is brought from time to time which challenges the constitutionality
of such lease arrangements, the California Supreme Court issued a ruling in
August, 1998 which reconfirmed the legality of these financing methods.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The repayment of industrial development securities secured by real property
may be affected by California laws limiting foreclosure rights of creditors.
Securities backed by health care and hospital revenues may be affected by
changes in State regulations governing cost reimbursements to health care
providers under Medi-Cal (the State's Medicaid program), including risks related
to the policy of awarding exclusive contracts to certain hospitals.
Limitations on AD VALOREM property taxes may particularly affect "tax
allocation" bonds issued by California redevelopment agencies. Such bonds are
secured solely by the increase in assessed valuation of a redevelopment project
area after the start of redevelopment activity. In the event that assessed
values in the redevelopment project decline (E.G., because of a major natural
disaster such as an earthquake), the tax increment revenue may be insufficient
to make principal and interest payments on these bonds. Both Moody's and S&P
suspended ratings on California tax allocation bonds after the enactment of
Articles XIIIA and XIIIB, and only resumed such ratings on a selective basis.
15
<PAGE>
Proposition 87, approved by California voters in 1988, requires that all
revenues produced by a tax rate increase go directly to the taxing entity which
increased such tax rate to repay that entity's general obligation indebtedness.
As a result, redevelopment agencies (which, typically, are the issuers of tax
allocation securities) no longer receive an increase in tax increment when taxes
on property in the project area are increased to repay voter-approved bonded
indebtedness.
The effect of these various constitutional and statutory changes upon the
ability of California municipal securities issuers to pay interest and principal
on their obligations remains unclear. Furthermore, other measures affecting the
taxing or spending authority of California or its political subdivisions may be
approved or enacted in the future. Legislation has been or may be introduced
which would modify existing taxes or other revenue-raising measures or which
either would further limit or, alternatively, would increase the abilities of
state and local governments to impose new taxes or increase existing taxes. It
is not possible, at present, to predict the extent to which any such legislation
will be enacted. Nor is it possible, at present, to determine the impact of any
such legislation on California Municipal Obligations in which the Fund may
invest, future allocations of state revenues to local governments or the
abilities of state or local governments to pay the interest on, or repay the
principal of, such California Municipal Obligations.
Substantially all of California is within an active geologic region subject
to major seismic activity. Northern California in 1989 and Southern California
in 1994 experienced major earthquakes causing billions of dollars in damages.
The federal government provided more than $13 billion in aid for both
earthquakes, and neither event is expected to have any long-term negative
economic impact. Any California Municipal Obligation in the Fund could be
affected by an interruption of revenues because of damaged facilities, or,
consequently, income tax deductions for casualty losses or property tax
assessment reductions. Compensatory financial assistance could be constrained by
the inability of (i) an issuer to have obtained earthquake insurance coverage
rates; (ii) an insurer to perform on its contracts of insurance in the event of
widespread losses; or (iii) the federal or State government to appropriate
sufficient funds within their respective budget limitations.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL SECURITIES
NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. The financial condition of the State of
New Jersey, its public authorities (the "Authorities") and it local governments,
could affect the market values and marketability of, and therefore the net asset
value per share and the interest income of New Jersey Municipal Money Fund, or
result in the default of existing obligations, including obligations which may
be held by the Fund. The following section provides only a brief summary of the
complex factors affecting the financial situation in New Jersey and is based on
information obtained from New Jersey, certain of its Authorities and certain
other localities, as publicly available on the date of this Statement of
Additional Information. The information contained in such publicly available
documents has not been independently verified. It should be noted that the
creditworthiness of obligations issued by local issuers may be unrelated to the
creditworthiness of New Jersey, and that there is no obligation on the part of
New Jersey to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default in
the absence of a specific guarantee or pledge provided by New Jersey.

ECONOMIC FACTORS. New Jersey is the ninth largest state in population and
the fifth smallest in land area. With an average of 1,077 people per square
mile, it is the most densely populated of all the states. The State's economic
base is diversified, consisting of a variety of manufacturing, construction and
service industries, supplemented by rural areas with selective commercial
agriculture. The extensive facilities of the Port Authority of New York and New
Jersey, the Delaware River Port Authority and the South Jersey Port Corporation
across the Delaware River from Philadelphia augment the air, land and water
transportation complex which has influenced much of the State's economy. The
State's central location in the northeastern corridor, the transportation and
port facilities and proximity to New York City make the State an attractive
location for corporate headquarters and international business offices.
According to the United States Bureau of the Census, the population of New
Jersey was 7,170,000 in 1970, 7,365,000 in 1980, 7,730,000 in 1990 and 7,988,000
in 1996. Historically, New Jersey's average per capita income has been well
above the national average, and in 1996 the State ranked second among the states
in per capita personal income ($31,053).
While New Jersey's economy continued to expand during the late 1980s, the
level of growth slowed considerably after 1987. By the beginning of the national
recession in July 1990 (according to the National Bureau of Economic Research),
construction activity had already been declining in New Jersey for nearly two
years, growth had tapered off markedly in the service sectors and the long-term
downward trend of factory employment had accelerated, partly because of a
leveling off of industrial demand nationally. The onset of recession caused an
acceleration of New Jersey's job losses in construction and manufacturing, as
well as an employment downturn in such previously growing sectors as wholesale
trade, retail trade, finance, utilities and trucking and warehousing. The net
effect was a decline in the State's total nonfarm wage and salary employment
from a peak of 3,689,800 in 1989 to a low of 3,457,900 in 1992. This loss has
been followed by an employment gain of 255,600 from May 1992 to June 1997, a
recovery of 97.5% of the jobs lost during the recession. In July 1991, S&P
lowered the State's general obligation bond rating from AAA to AA+.
Reflecting the downturn, the rate of unemployment in the State rose from a
low of 3.6% during the first quarter of 1989 to a recessionary peak of 8.5%
during 1992. Since then, the unemployment rate fell to 6.2% during 1996 and 5.5%
for the six month period from January 1997 through June 1997.
For the recovery period as a whole, May 1992 to June 1997, service-producing
employment in New Jersey has expanded by 283,500 jobs. Hiring has been reported
by food stores, wholesale distributors, trucking and warehousing firms, security
and commodity brokers, business and engineering/management service firms,
hotels/hotel-casinos, social service agencies and health care providers other
than hospitals. Employment growth was particularly strong in business services
and its personnel supply component with increases of 17,300 and 7,500,
respectively, in the 12-month period ending June 1997.
In the manufacturing sector, employment losses slowed between 1992 and 1994.
After an average annual job loss of 33,500 from 1989 through 1992, New Jersey's
factory job losses fell to 13,300 during 1993 and 7,300 during 1994. During 1995
and 1996, however, manufacturing job losses increased slightly to 10,100 and
13,900 respectively, reflecting a slowdown in national manufacturing production
activity. While experiencing growth in the number of production workers in 1994,
the number declined in 1995 at the
17
<PAGE>
same time that managerial and office staff were also reduced as part of
nationwide downsizing. Through August 1996, layoffs of white collar workers and
corporate downsizing appear to be abating.
Conditions have slowly improved in the construction industry, where
employment has risen by 18,600 since its low in May 1992. Between 1992 and 1996,
this sector's hiring rebound was driven primarily by increased homebuilding and
nonresidential projects. During 1996 and the first five months of 1997, public
works projects and homebuilding became the growth segments while nonresidential
construction lessened but remained positive.
STATE FINANCES. The State operates on a fiscal year beginning July 1 and
ending June 30. For example, "Fiscal Year 1999" refers to the State's fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1998 and ending June 30, 1999.
The General Fund is the fund into which all State revenues not otherwise
restricted by statute are deposited and from which appropriations are made. The
largest part of the total financial operations of the State is accounted for in
the General Fund. Revenues received from taxes and unrestricted by statute, most
federal revenue and certain miscellaneous revenue items are recorded in the
General Fund. The appropriations act provides the basic framework for the
operation of the General Fund. Undesignated Fund Balances are available for
appropriation in succeeding fiscal years. There have been positive Undesignated
Fund Balances in the General Fund at the end of each year since the State
Constitution was adopted in 1947. The estimates for Fiscal Year 1998 and Fiscal
Year 1999 reflect the amounts contained in the Governor's Fiscal Year 1999
Budget Message delivered on February 10, 1998.
In Fiscal Years 1996 and 1997, the actual General Fund balances were $442.0
million and $280.5 million, respectively, and total Undesignated Fund Balances
were $882.2 million and $1,106.4 million. For Fiscal Years 1998 and 1999 General
Fund balances are estimated to be $268.7 million and $144.0 million,
respectively, and total Undesignated Fund Balances are estimated to be $1,021.3
million and $6750.0 million.
FISCAL YEARS 1998 AND 1999 STATE REVENUE ESTIMATES--SALES AND USE TAX. The
revised estimate forecasts Sales and Use tax collections for Fiscal Year 1998 as
$4,720.0 million, a 6.9% increase from the Fiscal Year 1997 revenue. The Fiscal
Year 1999 estimate of $4,928.0 million is a 4.4% increase from the Fiscal Year
1998 estimate.
GROSS INCOME TAX. The revised estimate forecasts Gross Income Tax
collections for Fiscal Year 1998 of $5,340.0 million, a 10.7% increase from
Fiscal year 1997 revenue. The Fiscal Year 1999 estimate of $5,860.0 million, is
a 9.7% increase from the Fiscal Year 1998 estimate. Included in the Fiscal Year
1998 estimate and the Fiscal Year 1999 estimate is the enactment of a property
tax deduction to be phased in over a three-year period, permitting a deduction
by resident taxpayers against gross income tax of a percentage of their property
taxes.
CORPORATION BUSINESS TAX. The revised estimate forecasts Corporation
Business Tax collection for Fiscal Year 1998 as $1,315.1 million, a 2.2%
decrease from Fiscal Year 1997 revenue. The Fiscal Year 1999 estimate of
$1,431.0 million, is an 8.8% increase from the Fiscal year 1998 estimate.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS. Estimated receipts from State taxes and revenues,
including the three principal taxes set forth above, are forecasts based on the
best information available at the time of such forecasts. Changes in economic
activity in the State and the nation, consumption of durable goods, corporate
financial performance and other factors that are difficult to predict may result
in actual collections being more or less than forecasted.
Should revenues be less than the amount anticipated in the budget for a
fiscal year, the Governor may, pursuant to statutory authority, prevent any
expenditure under any appropriation. There are additional means by which the
Governor may ensure that the State is operated efficiently and does not incur a
deficit. No supplemental appropriation may be enacted after adoption of an
appropriations act except where there are sufficient revenues on hand or
anticipated, as certified by the Governor, to meet such appropriation. In the
past when actual revenues have been less than the amount anticipated in the
budget, the Governor has exercised her plenary powers leading to, among other
actions, implementation of a hiring freeze for all State departments and the
discontinuation of programs for which appropriations were budgeted but not yet
spent. Under the State Constitution, no general appropriations law or other law
appropriating money for any State purpose may be enacted if the amount of money
appropriated therein, together with all other prior appropriations made for the
same fiscal year, exceeds the total amount of revenue on hand and anticipated to
be available for such fiscal year, as certified by the Governor.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO NEW YORK MUNICIPAL SECURITIES
The financial condition of the State of New York ("New York State" or the
"State"), its public authorities and public benefit corporations (the
"Authorities") and its local governments, particularly the City of New York (the
"City"), could affect the market values and marketability of, and therefore the
net asset value per share and the interest income of a Fund, or result in the
default of existing obligations, including obligations which may be held by the
Fund. The following section provides only a brief summary of the complex factors
affecting the financial situation in New York and is based on information
obtained from New York State, certain of its Authorities, the City and certain
other localities as publicly available on the date of this Annual Information
Statement. The information contained in such publicly available documents has
not been independently verified. It should be noted that the creditworthiness of
obligations issued by local issuers may be unrelated to the creditworthiness of
New York State, and that there is no obligation on the part of New York State to
make payment on such local obligations in the event of default in the absence of
a specific guarantee or pledge provided by New York State.
ECONOMIC FACTORS. New York is the third most populous state in the nation
and has a relatively high level of personal wealth. The State's economy is
diverse, with a comparatively large share of the nation's finance, insurance,
transportation, communications and services employment, and a very small share
of the nation's farming and mining activity. The State's location and its
excellent air transport facilities and natural harbors have made it an important
link in international commerce. Travel and tourism constitute an important part
of the economy. Like the rest of the nation, New York has a declining proportion
of its workforce engaged in manufacturing, and an increasing proportion engaged
in service industries.
Both the State and the City experienced substantial revenue increases in the
mid-1980s attributable directly (corporate income and financial corporations
taxes) and, indirectly (personal income and a variety of other taxes) to growth
in new jobs, rising profits and capital appreciation derived from the finance
sector of the City's economy. Economic activity in the City has experienced
periods of growth and recession and
19
<PAGE>
can be expected to experience periods of growth and recession in the future. In
recent years, the City has experienced increases in employment. Real per capita
personal income (i.e, per capita personal income adjusted for the effects of
inflation and the differential in living costs) has generally experienced fewer
fluctuations than employment in the City. Although the City periodically
experienced declines in real per capita personal income between 1969 and 1981,
real per capita personal income in the City has generally increased from the
mid-1980s until the present. In nearly all of the years between 1969 and 1988
the City experienced strong increases in retail sales. However, from 1989 to
1993, the City experienced a weak period of retail sales. Since 1994, the City
has returned to a period of growth in retail sales. Overall, the City's economic
improvement accelerated significantly, in fiscal year 1997. Much of the increase
can be traced to the performance of the securities industry, but the City's
economy also produced gains in the retail trade sector, the hotel and tourism
industry, and business services, with private sector employment higher than
previously forecasted. The City's current Financial Plan assumes that, after
strong growth in 1997-1998, moderate economic growth will exist through calendar
year 2002, with moderating job growth and wage increases. However, there can be
no assurance that the economic projections assumed in the Financial Plan will
occur or that the tax revenues projected in the Financial Plan to be received
will be received in the amounts anticipated.
During the calendar years 1984 through 1991, the State's rate of economic
expansion was somewhat slower than that of the nation as a whole. In the
1990-1991 national recession, the economy of the Northeast region in general and
the State in particular was more heavily damaged than that of the rest of the
nation and has been slower to recover.
Although the national economy began to expand in 1991, the State economy
remained in recession until 1993, when employment growth resumed. Currently the
State economy continues to expand, but growth remains somewhat slower than in
the nation. Although the State has added over 400,000 jobs since late 1992,
employment growth has been hindered during recent years by significant cutbacks
in the computer and instrument manufacturing, utility, defense and banking
industries. Government downsizing has also moderated these job gains. Personal
income increased substantially in 1992 and 1993. The State's economy entered
into the fourth year of a slow recovery in 1996. Most of the growth occurred in
the trade, construction and service industries, with business, social services
and health sectors accounting for most of the service industry growth.
The State has released information regarding the national and state economic
activity in its Annual Information Statement of the State of New York dated June
26, 1998 ("Annual Information Statement" and updated August 3, 1998 ("Update to
the Annual Information Statement"). At the State level, the Annual Information
Statement projects continued expansion during the 1998 calendar year, with
employment growth gradually slowing as the year progresses. The financial and
business service sectors are expected to continue to do well, while employment
in the manufacturing and government sectors will post only small, if any
declines. On an average annual basis, the employment growth rate in the State is
expected to be higher than in 1997 and the unemployment rate is expected to drop
further to 6.1 percent. Personal income is expected to record moderate gains in
1998. Wage growth in 1998 is expected to be slower than in the previous year as
the recent robust growth in bonus payments moderates.
Personal income tax collections for 1998-99 are projected to reach $21.41
billion, or $3.67 billion above the reported 1997-98 collection total. Total
business tax collections in 1998-99 are now projected to be $4.95 billion, $100
million less than received in the prior fiscal year. Receipts from user taxes
and fees
20
<PAGE>
are projected to total $7.14 billion, an increase of $107 million from reported
collections in the prior year. Other tax receipts are projected to total $1.02
billion--$75 million below last year's amount. Total miscellaneous receipts are
projected to reach $1.40 billion, down almost $200 million from the prior year.
Transfers from other funds are expected to total $1.8 billion, or $222 million
less than total receipts from this category during 1997-98.
General Fund disbursements in 1998-99, including transfers to support
capital projects, debt service and other funds are estimated at $36.78 billion.
This represents an increase of $2.43 billion or 7.1 percent from 1997-98. Nearly
one-half of the growth is for educational purposes, reflecting increased support
for public schools, special education programs and the State and City university
systems. The remaining increase is primarily for Medicaid, mental hygiene, and
other health and social welfare programs, including children and family
services. The 1998-99 Financial Plan also includes funds for the current
negotiated salary increases for State employees, as well as increased transfers
for debt service. Grants to local governments is the largest category of General
Fund disbursements and includes financial assistance to local governments and
not-for-profit corporations, as well as entitlement benefits to individuals. The
1998-99 Financial Plan projects spending of $25.14 billion in this category, an
increase of $1.88 billion or 8.1 percent over the prior year. The largest annual
increases are for educational programs, Medicaid, other health and social
welfare programs, and community projects grants. The 1998-99 budget provides
$9.65 billion in support of public schools. The year-to-year increase of $769
million is comprised of partial funding for a 1998-99 school year increase of
$847 million as well as the remainder of the 1997-98 school year increase that
occurs in State fiscal year 1998-99. Spending for all other educational
programs, which includes the State and City university systems, the Tuition
Assistance Program, and handicapped programs, is estimated at $3.00 billion, an
increase of $270 million over 1997-98 levels. Medicaid costs are estimated at
$5.60 billion, an increase of $144 million from the prior year.
The 1998-99 Financial Plan projects a closing fund balance in the General
Fund of $1.67 billion. This fund balance is composed of a reserve of $1.01
billion available for future needs, a $400 million balance in the Tax
Stabilization Reserve Fund ("TSRF"), a $158 million in the Community Projects
Fund ("CPF"), and a balance of $100 million in the Contingency Reserve Fund
("CRF") after a projected deposit of $32 million in 1998-99.
The economic and financial condition of the State may be affected by various
financial, social, economic and political factors. These factors can be very
complex, may vary from fiscal year to fiscal year, and are frequently the result
of actions taken not only by the State and its agencies and instrumentalities,
but also by entities, such as the federal government, that are not under the
control of the State. Because of the uncertainty and unpredictability of these
factors, their impact cannot, as a practical matter, be included in the
assumptions underlying the State's projections at this time. As a result, there
can be no assurance that the State economy will not experience results in the
current fiscal year that are worse than predicted, with corresponding material
and adverse effects on the State's projections of receipts and disbursements.
The State Financial Plan is based upon forecasts of national and State
economic activity developed through both internal analysis and review of State
and national economic forecasts prepared by commercial forecasting services and
other public and private forecasters. Economic forecasts have frequently failed
to predict accurately the timing and magnitude of changes in the national and
the State economies, including consumer attitudes toward spending, the extent of
corporate and governmental restructuring, the condition of the financial sector,
federal fiscal and monetary policies, the level of interest
21
<PAGE>
rates, and the condition of the world economy, which could have an adverse
effect on the State's projections of receipts and disbursements.
THE STATE. Owing to the factors mentioned above and other factors, the State
may, in future years, face substantial potential budget gaps resulting from a
significant disparity between tax revenues projected from a lower recurring
receipts base and the future costs of maintaining State programs at current
levels.
Total General Fund receipts in 1998-99 are projected to be $37.81 billion,
an increase of $3.26 billion from the $34.55 billion recorded in 1997-98. This
total included $34.36 billion in tax receipts, $1.40 billion in miscellaneous
receipts, and $1.80 billion in transfers from other funds. However, many complex
political, social and economic forces influence the State's economy and
finances, which may in turn affect the State's Financial Plan. These forces may
affect the State unpredictably from fiscal year to fiscal year and are
influenced by governments, institutions, and organizations that are not subject
to the State's control. The State Financial Plan is also necessarily based upon
forecasts of national and State economic activity. Economic forecasts have
frequently failed to predict accurately the timing and magnitude of changes in
the national and the State economies. Because of the uncertainty and
unpredictability of changes in these factors, their impact cannot be fully
included in the assumptions underlying the State's projections.
An additional risk to the State Financial Plan arises from the potential
impact of certain litigation and of federal disallowances now pending against
the State, which could adversely affect the State's projections of receipts and
disbursements. The State Financial Plan assumes no significant litigation or
federal disallowance or other federal actions that could affect State finances,
but has significant reserves in the event of such an action.
REVENUE BASE. The State's principal revenue sources are economically
sensitive, and include the personal income tax, user taxes and fees and business
taxes. The 1998-99 Financial Plan projects General Fund receipts (including
transfers from other funds) of $37.56 billion, an increase of over 3 billion
from the $34.55 billion recorded in 1997-98. This total includes $34.36 billion
in tax receipts, $1.40 billion in miscellaneous receipts, and $1.80 billion in
transfers from other funds.
The transfer of a portion of the surplus recorded in 1997-98 to 1998-99
exaggerates the "real" growth in State receipts from year to year by depressing
reported 1997-98 figures and inflating 1998-99 projections. Conversely, the
incremental cost of tax reductions newly effective in 1998-99 and the impact of
statutes earmarking certain tax receipts to other funds work to depress apparent
growth below the underlying growth in receipts attributable to expansion of the
State's economy. On an adjusted basis, State tax revenues in the 1998-99 fiscal
year are projected to grow at approximately 7.5 percent, following an adjusted
growth of roughly nine percent in the 1997-98 fiscal year. On an adjusted basis,
State tax revenues in the 1998-99 fiscal year are projected to grow at
approximately 7.5 percent, following an adjusted growth of roughly nine percent
in the 1997-98 fiscal year.
The PERSONAL INCOME TAX is imposed on the income of individuals, estates and
trusts and is based on federal definitions of income and deductions with certain
modifications. This tax continues to account for over half of the State's
General Fund receipts base. Net personal income tax collections are projected to
reach $21.41 billion, nearly $3.67 billion above the reported 1997-98 collection
total. Since 1997 represented the completion of the 20 percent income tax
reduction program enacted in 1995, growth from 1997 to 1998 will be unaffected
by major income tax reductions. Adding to the projected annual growth is
22
<PAGE>
the net impact of the transfer of the surplus from 1997-98 to the current year
which affects reported collections by over $2.4 billion on a year-over-year
basis, as partially offset by the diversion of slightly over $700 million in
income tax receipts to the STAR fund to finance the initial year of the school
tax reduction program. The STAR program was enacted in 1997 to increase the
State share of school funding and reduce residential school taxes. Adjusted for
these transactions, the growth in net income tax receipts is roughly $1.7
billion, an increase of over 9 percent. This growth is largely a function of
over 8 percent growth in income tax liability projected for 1998 as well as the
impact of the 1997 tax year settlement on 1998-99 net collections.
USER TAXES AND FEES comprised of three quarters of the State four percent
sales and use tax (the balance, one percent, flows to support Government
Assistance Corporation ("LGAC") debt service requirements), cigarette, alcoholic
beverage container, and auto rental taxes, and a portion of the motor fuel
excise levies. Also included in this category are receipts from the motor
vehicle registration fees and alcoholic beverage license fees. A portion of the
motor fuel tax and motor vehicle registration fees and all of the highway use
tax are earmarked for dedicated transportation funds.
Receipts from user taxes and fees receipts are projected to total $7.14
billion, an increase of $107 million from reported collections in the prior
year. The sales tax component of this category accounts for all of the 1998-99
growth, as receipts from all other sources decline $100 million. The growth in
yield of the sales tax in 1998-99, after adjusting for tax law and other
changes, is projected at 4.7 percent. The yields of most of the excise taxes in
this category show a long-term declining trend, particularly cigarette and
alcoholic beverage taxes. These General Fund declines are exacerbated in 1998-99
by revenue losses from scheduled and newly enacted tax reductions, and by an
increase in earmarking of motor vehicle registration fees to the Dedicated
Highway and Bridge Trust Fund.
BUSINESS TAXES include franchise taxes based generally on net income of
general business, bank and insurance corporations, as well as gross receipt
taxes on utilities and galling-based petroleum business taxes. Beginning in
1994, a 15 percent surcharge on these levies began to be phased out and, for
most taxpayers, there is no surcharge liability for taxable periods ending in
1997 and thereafter.
Total business tax collections in 1998-99 are now projected to be $4.95
billion, $100 million less than received in the prior fiscal year. The category
includes receipts from the largely income-based levies on general business
corporations, banks and insurance companies, gross receipts taxes on energy and
telecommunication service providers and a per-gallon imposition on petroleum
business. The year-over-year decline in projected receipts in this category is
largely attributable to statutory changes between the two years. These include
the first year of utility-tax rate cuts and the Power for Jobs tax reduction
program for energy providers, and the scheduled additional diversion of General
Fund petroleum business and utility tax receipts to other funds. In addition,
profit growth is also expected to slow in 1998.
OTHER TAXES include estate, gift and real estate transfer taxes, a tax on
gains from the sale or transfer of certain real estate (this tax was repealed in
1996), a pari-mutuel tax and other minor levies. They are now projected to total
$1.02 billion--$75 million below last year's amount. Two factors account for a
significant part of the expected decline in collections from this category.
First, the effects of the elimination of the real property gains tax
collections; second, a decline in estate tax receipts, following the explosive
growth recorded in 1997-98, when receipts expanded by over 16 percent.
23
<PAGE>
MISCELLANEOUS RECEIPTS include investment income, abandoned property
receipts, medical provider assessments, minor federal grants, receipts from
public authorities, and certain other license and fee revenues. Total
miscellaneous receipts are projected to reach $1.40 billion, down almost $200
million from the prior year, reflecting the loss of non-recurring receipts in
1997-98 and the growing effects of the phase-out of the medical provider
assessments.
TRANSFERS FROM OTHER FUNDS to the General Fund consist primarily of tax
revenues in excess of debt service requirements, particularly the one percent
sales tax used to support payments to LGAC. Transfers from other funds are
expected to total $1.8 billion, or $222 million less than total receipts from
this category during 1997-98. Total transfers of sales taxes in excess of LGAC
debt service requirements are expected to increase by approximately $51 million,
while transfers from all other funds are expected to fall by $273 million,
primarily reflecting the absence, in 1998-99, of a one-time transfer of nearly
$200 million for retroactive reimbursement of certain social services claims
from the federal government.
STATE DEBT. General Fund disbursements in 1998-99, including transfers to
support capital projects, debt service and other funds are estimated at $36.78
billion. This represents an increase of $2.43 billion or 7.1 percent from
1997-98. Nearly one-half of the growth is for educational purposes, reflecting
increased support for public schools, special education programs and the State
and City university systems. The remaining increase is primarily for Medicaid,
mental hygiene and other health and social welfare programs, including children
and family services. The 1998-99 Financial Plan also includes funds for the
current negotiated salary increase for State employees, as well as increased
transfers for debt service.
NONRECURRING SOURCES. The Division of the Budget estimates that the 1998-99
State Financial Plan contains actions that provide nonrecurring resources of
savings totaling approximately $64 million, the largest of which is a
retroactive reimbursement of federal welfare claims.
OUTYEAR PROJECTIONS OF RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS. State law requires the
Governor to propose a balanced budget each year. In recent years, the State has
closed projected budget gaps of $5.0 billion (1995-96), $3.9 billion (1996-97),
$2.3 billion (1997-98), and less than $1 billion (1998-99). The State, as part
of the 1998-99 Executive Budget projections submitted to the Legislature in
February 1998, projected a 1999-00 General Fund budget gap of approximately $1.7
billion and a 2000-01 gap of $3.7 billion. As a result of changes made in the
1998-99 enacted budget, the 1999-00 gap is now expected to be roughly $1.3
billion, or about $400 million less than previously projected, after application
of reserves created as part of the 1998-99 budget process. Such reserves would
not be available against subsequent year imbalances.
Sustained growth in the State's economy could contribute to closing
projected budget gaps over the next several years, both in terms of
higher-than-projected tax receipts and in lower-than-expected entitlement
spending. However, the State's projections in 1999-00 currently assume actions
to achieve $600 million in lower disbursements and $250 million in additional
receipts from the settlement of State claims against the tobacco industry.
Consistent with past practice, the projections do not include any costs
associated with new collective bargaining agreements after the expiration of the
current round of contracts at the end of the 1998-99 fiscal year. The State
expects that the 1999-00 Financial Plan will achieve savings from initiatives by
State agencies to deliver services more efficiently, workforce management
efforts, maximization of federal and non-General Fund spending offsets, and
other actions necessary to bring projected disbursements and receipts into
balance.

The State will formally update its outyear projections of receipts and
disbursements for the 2000-01 and 2001-02 fiscal years as a part of the 1999-00
Executive Budget process, as required by law. The revised expectations for years
2000-01 and 2001-02 will reflect the cumulative impact of tax reductions and
spending commitments enacted over the last several years as well as new 1999-00
Executive Budget recommendations. The STAR program, which dedicates a portion of
personal income tax receipts to fund school tax reductions, has a significant
impact on General Fund receipts. STAR is projected to reduce personal income tax
revenues available to the General Fund by an estimated $1.3 billion in 2000-01.
Measured from the 1998-99 base, scheduled reductions to estate and gift, sales
and other taxes, reflecting tax cuts enacted in 1997-98 and 1998-99, will lower
General Fund taxes and fees by an estimated $1.8 billion in 2000-01.
Disbursement projections for the outyears currently assume additional outlaws
for school aid, Medicaid, welfare reform, mental health community reinvestment,
and other multi-year spending commitments in law.
LABOR COSTS. The State government workforce is mostly unionized, subject to
the Taylor-Law which authorizes collective bargaining and prohibits (but has
not, historically, prevented) strikes and work slowdowns. Costs for employee
health benefits have increased substantially, and can be expected to further
increase. The State has a substantial unfunded liability for future pension
benefits, and has utilized changes in its pension fund investment return
assumptions to reduce current contribution requirements. If such investment
earnings assumptions are not sustained by actual results, additional State
contributions will be required in future years to meet the State's contractual
obligations. The State's change in actuarial method from the aggregate cost
method to a modified projected unit credit in FY1990-91 created a substantial
surplus that was amortized and applied to offset the State's contribution
through FY1993-94. This change in actuarial method was ruled unconstitutional by
the State's highest court and the State returned to the aggregate cost method in
FY1994-95 using a four year phase in. Employer contributions, including the
State's, are expected to increase over the next five to ten years. Since January
1995, the State's workforce has been reduced by about 10 percent, and is
projected to remain at its current level of approximately 191,000 persons in
1998-99 year. The State is currently preparing for negotiations with various
unions to establish new agreements since most of the existing contracts will
expire on March 31, 1999.
On August 22, 1996, the President signed into law the Personal
Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. This federal
legislation fundamentally changed the programmatic and fiscal responsibilities
for administration of welfare programs at the federal, state and local levels.
The law abolished the federal Aid to Families with Dependent Children program
(AFDC), and created a new Temporary Assistance to Needy Families with Dependent
Children program (TANF) funded with a fixed federal block grant to states. The
law also imposed (with certain exceptions) a five era durational limit on TANF
recipients, required that virtually all recipients be engaged in work or
community service activities within two years of receipt benefits, and limited
assistance provided to certain immigrants and other classes of individuals.
States are required to meet work activity participation targets for their TANF
caseload; these requirements are phased in over time. States that fail to meet
these federally mandated job participation rates, or that fail to conform with
certain other federal standards, face potential sanctions in the form of a
reduced federal block grant.
Proposed legislation that includes both provisions necessary to implement
the State's TANF plan to conform with federal law and implement the Governor's
welfare reform proposal is still pending before the Legislature. There can be no
assurances of timely enactment of certain conforming provisions required
25
<PAGE>
under the federal law. Further delay increases the risk that the States could
incur fiscal penalties for failure to comply with federal law.
MEDICAID. New York participates in the federal Medicaid program under a
state plan approved by the Health Care Financing Administration. The federal
government provides a substantial portion of eligible program costs, with the
remainder shared by the State and its counties (including the City). Basic
program eligibility and benefits are determined by federal guidelines, but the
State provides a number of optional benefits and expanded eligibility. Program
costs have increased substantially in recent years, and account for a rising
share of the State budget. Federal law requires that the State adopt
reimbursement rates for hospitals and nursing homes that are reasonable and
adequate to meet the costs that must be incurred by efficiently and economically
operated facilities in providing patient care, a standard that has led to past
litigation by hospitals and nursing homes seeking higher reimbursement from the
State. General Fund payments for Medicaid are projected to be $5.60 billion, an
increase of $144 million from the prior year. After adjusting 1997-98 for the
$116 million prepayment of an additional Medicaid cycle, Medicaid spending is
projected to increase $260 million of 4.9 percent. Disbursements for all other
health and social welfare programs are projected to total $3.63 billion, an
increase of $131 million from 1997-98. This includes an increase in support for
children and families and local public health programs, offset by a decline in
welfare spending of $75 million that reflects continuing State and local efforts
to reduce welfare fraud, declining caseloads, and the impact of State and
federal welfare reform legislation.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. New York State is currently addressing "Year 2000"
data processing compliance issues. The Year 2000 compliance issues ("Y2K")
arises because most computer software programs allocate two digits to the data
field for "year" on the assumption that the first two digits will be "19". Such
programs will thus interpret the year 2000 as the year 1900 absent
reprogramming. Y2K could impact both the ability to enter data into computer
programs and the ability of such programs to correctly process data.
In 1996, the State created the Office for Technology (OFT) to help address
statewide technology issues, including the Year 2000 issue. OFT has estimated
that investments of at least $140 million will be required to bring
approximately 350 State mission-critical and high-priority computer systems not
otherwise scheduled for replacement into Year 2000 compliance, and the State is
planning to spend $100 million in the 1998-99 fiscal year for this purpose.
Mission-critical computer applications are those which impact the health, safety
and welfare of the State and its citizens, and for which failure to be in Y2K
compliance could have a material and adverse impact upon State operations.
High-priority computer applications are those that are critical for a State
agency to fulfill its mission and deliver services, but for which there are
manual alternatives. Work has been completed on roughly 20 percent of these
systems. All remaining unfinished mission-critical and high-priority systems
have at least 40 percent or more of the work completed. Contingency planning is
underway for those systems which may be non-compliant prior to failure dates.
The enacted budget also continues funding for major systems scheduled for
replacement, including the State payroll, civil service, tax and finance and
welfare management systems, for which Year 2000 compliance is included as a part
of the project.
OFT is monitoring compliance on a quarterly basis and is providing
assistance and assigning resources to accelerate compliance for mission critical
systems, with most compliance testing expected to be completed by mid-1999.
There can be no guarantee, however, that all of the State's mission-critical and
26
<PAGE>
high-priority computer systems will be Year 2000 compliant and that there will
not be an adverse impact upon State operations or State finances as a result.
THE STATE AUTHORITIES. The fiscal stability of the State is related in part
to the fiscal stability of its public authorities. Public authorities are not
subject to the constitutional restrictions on the incurrence of debt which apply
to the State itself and may issue bonds and notes within the amounts and
restrictions set forth in legislative authorization. The State's access to the
public credit markets could be impaired and the market price of its outstanding
debt may be materially and adversely affected if any of its public authorities
were to default on their respective obligations, particularly those using the
financing techniques referred to as State-supported or State-related debt.
The State has numerous public authorities with various responsibilities,
including those which finance, construct and/or operate revenue producing public
facilities. Public authority operating expenses and debt service costs are
generally paid by revenues generated by the projects financed or operated, such
as tolls charged for the use of highways, bridges or tunnels, charges for public
power, electric and gas utility services, rentals charged for housing units, and
charges for occupancy at medical care facilities. In addition, State legislation
authorizes several financing techniques for public authorities. Also there are
statutory arrangements providing for State local assistance payments otherwise
payable to localities to be made under certain circumstances to public
authorities. Although the State has no obligation to provide additional
assistance to localities whose local assistance payments have been paid to
public authorities under these arrangements, the affected localities may seek
additional State assistance if local assistance payments are diverted. Some
authorities also receive moneys from State appropriations to pay for the
operating costs of certain of their programs. The MTA receives the bulk of this
money in order to provide transit and commuter services.
Beginning in 1998, the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) assumed
responsibility for the provision of electric utility services previously
provided by Long Island Lighting Company for Nassau, Suffolk and a portion of
Queen Counties, as part of an estimated $7 billion financing plan.
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY. Since 1980, the State has enacted
several taxes including a surcharge on the profits of banks, insurance
corporations and general business corporations doing business in the 12 county
Metropolitan Transportation Region served by the MTA and a special one quarter
of 1 percent regional sales and use tax that provide revenues for mass transit
purposes, including assistance to the MTA. Since 1987 State law has required
that the proceeds of a one-quarter of 1 percent mortgage recording tax paid on
certain mortgages in the Metropolitan Transportation Region be deposited in a
special MTA fund for operating or capital expenses. In 1993, the State dedicated
a portion of certain additional State petroleum business tax receipts to fund
operating or capital assistance to the MTA. For the 1998-99 fiscal year, State
assistance to the MTA is projected to total approximately $1.3 billion, an
increase of $133 million over the 1997-98 fiscal year.
State legislation accompanying the 1996-97 adopted State budget authorized
the MTA, Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority and Transit Authority to issue
an aggregate of $6.5 billion in bonds to finance a portion of the $12.17 billion
MTA capital plan for the 1995 through 1999 calendar years (the "1995-99 Capital
Program"). In July 1997, the Capital Program Review Board (CPRB) approved the
1995-99 Capital Program (subsequently amended in August 1997), which supersedes
the overlapping portion of the MTA's 1992-96 Capital Program. The 1995-99
Capital Program is the fourth capital plan since the
27
<PAGE>
Legislature authorized procedures for the adoption, approval and amendment of
MTA capital programs and is designed to upgrade the performance of the MTA's
transportation systems by investing in new rolling stock, maintaining
replacement schedules for existing assets and bringing the MTA system into a
state of good repair. The 1995-99 Capital Program assumes the issuance of an
estimated $5.2 billion in bonds under this $6.5 billion aggregate bonding
authority. The remainder of the plan is projected to financed through assistance
from the State, the federal government, and the City of New York, and from
various other revenues generated from actions taken the MTA.
There can be no assurance that all the necessary governmental actions for
the 1995-99 Capital Program or future capital programs will be taken, that
funding sources currently identified will not be decreased or eliminated, or
that the 1995-99 Capital Program, or parts thereof, will not be delayed or
reduced. Should funding levels fall below current projections, the MTA would
have to revise its 1995-99 Capital Program accordingly. If the 1995-99 Capital
Program is delayed or reduced, ridership and fare revenues may decline, which
could, among other things, impair the MTA's ability to meet its operating
expenses without additional assistance.
THE CITY. The fiscal health of the State may also be affected by the fiscal
health of New York City (City), which continues to receive significant financial
assistance from the State. State aid contributes to the City's ability to
balance its budget and meet its cash requirements. The State may also be
affected by the ability of the City and certain entities issuing debt for the
benefit of the City to market their securities successfully in the public credit
markets.
The City has achieved balanced operating results for each of its fiscal
years since 1981 as measured by the GAAP standards in force at that time.
However, in the early 1970s, the City incurred substantial operating deficits,
and its financial controls, accounting practices and disclosure policies were
widely criticized. In response to the City's fiscal crisis in 1975, the State
took action to assist the City in returning to fiscal stability. Among these
actions, the State established the Municipal Assistance Corporation For The City
of New York ("MAC") to provide financing assistance for the City; the New York
State Financial Control Board (the Control Board) to oversee the City's
financial affairs, and the Office of the State Deputy Comptroller for the City
of New York (OSDC) to assist the Control Board in exercising its powers and
responsibilities. A "control period" existed from 1975 to 1986, during which the
City was subject to certain statutorily-prescribed fiscal controls. The Control
Board terminated the control period in 1986 when certain statutory conditions
were met. State law requires the Control Board to reimpose a control period upon
the occurrence, or "substantial likelihood and imminence" of the occurrence, of
certain events, including (but not limited to) a City operating budget deficit
of more than $100 million or impaired access to the public credit markets.
The City provides services usually undertaken by counties, school districts
or special districts in other large urban areas, including the provision of
social services such as day care, foster care, health care, family planning,
services for the elderly and special employment services for needy individuals
and families who qualify for such assistance. State law requires the City to
allocate a large portion of its total budget to Board of Education operations,
and mandates that the City assume the local share of public assistance and
Medicaid costs. For each of the 1981 through 1996 fiscal years, the City
achieved balanced operating results as reported in accordance with then
applicable generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The City was
required to close substantial budget gaps in recent years in order to maintain
balanced operating results. There can be no assurance that the City will
continue to maintain a balanced budget as
28
<PAGE>
required by State law without additional tax or other revenue increases or
additional reductions in City services or entitlement programs, which could
adversely affect the City's economic base.
Pursuant to the New York State Financial Emergency Act for The City of New
York (the "Financial Emergency Act" or the "Act"), the City prepares a four year
annual financial plan, which is reviewed and revised on a quarterly basis and
which includes the City's capital, revenue and expense projections and outlines
proposed gap closing programs for years with projected budget gaps. The City's
projections set forth in the 1999-2002 Financial Plan are based on various
assumptions and contingencies which are uncertain and which may not materialize.
Changes in major assumption could significantly affect the City's ability to
balance its budget and to meet its annual cash flow and financing requirements.
Such assumptions and contingencies include the timing and pace of a regional and
local economic recovery, increases in tax revenues, employment growth, the
ability to implement proposed reductions in City personnel and other cost
reduction initiatives which may require in certain cases the cooperation of the
City's municipal unions, the ability of New York City Health and Hospitals
Corporation and the Board of Education to take actions to offset reduced
revenues, the ability to complete revenue generating transactions, provision of
State and federal aid and mandate relief, and the impact on City revenues of
proposals for federal and State welfare reform. No assurance can be given that
the assumptions used by the City in the 1999-2002 Financial Plan will be
realized. Due to the uncertainty existing on the federal and state levels, the
ultimate adoption of the State budget for FY 1997-98 may result in substantial
reductions in projected expenditures for social spending programs. Cost
containment assumptions contained in the 1997-2000 Financial Plan and the City
FY 1997-98 Budget may therefore be significantly adversely affected upon the
final adoption of the State budget for FY 1997-98. Furthermore, actions taken in
recent fiscal years to avert deficits may have reduced the City's flexibility in
responding to future budgetary imbalances, and have deferred certain
expenditures to later fiscal year.
The 1999-2002 Financial Plan projects revenues and expenditures for the 1999
fiscal year balanced in accordance with GAAP, and projects gaps of $1.5 billion,
$2.1 billion and $1.6 billion for the 2000, 2001 and 2002 fiscal years,
respectively.
On April 24, 1998 the City released the Financial Plan for the 1999 through
2002 fiscal years, which relates to the City and certain entities which receive
funds from the City, and which is based on the Executive Budget and Budget
Message for the City's 1999 fiscal year (the "Executive Budget"). The Executive
Budget and Financial Plan project revenues and expenditures for the 1999 fiscal
year balanced in accordance with GAAP, and project gaps of $1.5 billion, $2.1
billion and $1.6 billion for the 2000, 2001 and 2002 fiscal years, respectively.
Changes since the June Financial Plan include: (i) an increase in projected
tax revenues of $1.3 billion, $1.1 billion, $955 million, $897 million and $1.7
billion in the 1998 through 2002 fiscal years, respectively; (ii) a reduction in
assumed State aid of $283 million in the 1998 fiscal year and of between $134
million and $142 million in each of the 1999 through 2002 fiscal years,
reflecting the adopted budget for the State's 1998 fiscal year; (iii) a delay in
the assumed collection of $350 million of projected rent payments for the City's
airports in the 1999 fiscal year to fiscal years 2000 through 2002; (iv) a
reduction in projected debt service expenditures totaling $197 million, $361
million, $204 million and $226 million in the 1998 through 2001 fiscal years,
respectively; (v) an increase in the Board of Education (the "BOE") spending of
$266 million, $26 million, $58 million and $193 million in the 1999 through 2002
fiscal years, respectively; (vi) an increase in expenditures for the City's
proposed drug initiatives totaling $68 million in the 1998
29
<PAGE>
fiscal year and of between $167 million and $193 million in each of the 1999
through 2002 fiscal years; (vii) other agency net spending initiatives totaling
$112 million, $443 million, $281 million, $273 million and $677 million in
fiscal years 1998 through 2002, respectively; and (viii) reduced pension costs
of $116 million, $168 million and $404 million in fiscal years 2000 through
2002, respectively. The Financial Plan also sets forth gap closing actions for
the 1998 through 2002 fiscal years, which include: (i) additional agency actions
totaling $176 million, $595 million, $516 million, $494 million and $552 million
in fiscal years 1998 through 2002, respectively, and (ii) assumed additional
Federal and State aid of $100 million in each of fiscal years 1999 through 2002.
The 1998 Modification and the 1999-2002 Financial Plan include a proposed
discretionary transfer in the 1998 fiscal year of approximately $2.0 billion to
pay debt service due in the 1999 fiscal year, and a proposed discretionary
transfer in the 1999 fiscal year of $416 million to pay debt service due in
fiscal year 2000, included in the Budget Stabilization Plan for the 1998 and
1999 fiscal years, respectively. In addition, the Financial Plan reflects
proposed tax reduction programs totaling $237 million, $537 million, $657
million and $666 million in fiscal years 1999 through 2002, respectively,
including the elimination of the City sales tax on all clothing as of December
1, 1999, a City funded acceleration of the State funded personal income tax
reduction for the 1999 through 2001 fiscal years, the extension of current tax
reductions for owners of cooperative and condominium apartments starting in
fiscal year 2000 and a personal income tax credit for child care and for
residential holders of Subchapter S corporations, which are subject to State
legislative approval, and reduction of the commercial rent tax commencing in
fiscal year 2000.
Although the City has maintained balanced budgets in each of its last
sixteen fiscal years and is projected to achieve balanced operating results for
the 1998 fiscal year, there can be no assurance that the gap closing actions
proposed in the Financial Plan can be successfully implemented or that the City
will maintain a balanced budget in future years without additional State aid,
revenue increases or expenditure reductions. Additional tax increases and
reductions in essential City services could adversely affect the City's economic
base.
The City derives its revenues from a variety of local taxes, user charges
and miscellaneous revenues, as well as from Federal and State unrestricted and
categorical grants. State aid as a percentage of the City's revenues has
remained relatively constant over the period from 1980 to 1997, while
unrestricted Federal aid has been sharply reduced. The City projects that local
revenues will provide approximately 66.9% of total revenues in the 1998 fiscal
year while Federal aid, including categorical grants, will provide 13.2%, and
State aid, including unrestricted aid and categorical grants, will provide
19.7%.
The City since 1981 has fully satisfied its seasonal financing needs in the
public credit markets, repaying all short term obligations within their fiscal
year of issuance. The City has issued $1.075 billion of short term obligations
in fiscal year 1998 to finance the City's projected cash flow needs for the 1998
fiscal year. The City issued $2.4 billion of short term obligations in fiscal
year 1997. Seasonal financing requirements for the 1996 fiscal year increased to
$2.4 billion from $2.2 billion and $1.75 billion in the 1995 and 1994 fiscal
years, respectively. The delay in the adoption of the State's budget in certain
past fiscal years has required the city to issue short term notes in amounts
exceeding those expected early in such fiscal years.
30
<PAGE>
The City makes substantial capital expenditures to reconstruct and
rehabilitate the city's infrastructure and physical assets, including City mass
transit facilities, sewers, streets, bridges and tunnels, and to make capital
investments that will improve productivity in City operations.
The City utilizes a three tiered capital planning process consisting of the
Ten Year Capital Strategy, the Four Year Capital Plan and the current year
Capital Budget. The Ten Year Capital Strategy is a long term planning tool
designed to reflect fundamental allocation choices and basic policy objectives.
The Four Year Capital Program translates mid-range policy goals into specific
projects. The Capital Budget defines specific projects and the timing of their
initiation, design, construction and completion.
This City's projection of its capital financing need pursuant to the Mayor's
Declaration of Need and Proposed Transitional Capital Plan of June 30, 1997
indicates additional projected debt and contract liabilities of approximately $3
billion for fiscal year 1998. To provide for the City's capital program, State
legislation was enacted which created the Finance Authority, the debt of which
is not subject to the general debt limit. Without the Finance Authority or other
legislative relief, new contractual commitments for the City's general
obligation financed capital program would have been virtually brought to a halt
during the Financial Plan period beginning early in the 1998 fiscal year. By
utilizing projected Finance Authority borrowing and including the Finance
Authority's projected borrowing as part of the total debt incurring power set
forth in the following table, the City's total debt incurring power has been
increased. Even with the increase, the City may reach the limit of its capacity
to enter into new contractual commitments in fiscal year 2000.
OTHER LOCALITIES. Certain localities outside New York City have experienced
financial problems and have requested and received additional State assistance
during the last several State fiscal years. The cities of Yonkers and Troy
continue to operate under State-ordered control agencies. The potential impact
on the State of any future requests by localities for additional oversight or
financial assistance is not included in the projections of the State's receipts
and disbursements for the State's 1998-99 fiscal year.
Eighteen municipalities received extraordinary assistance during the 1996
legislative session through $50 million in special appropriations targeted for
distressed cities, and twenty-eight municipalities received more than $32
million in targeted unrestricted aid in the 1997-98 budget. Both of these
emergency aid packages were largely continued through the 1998-99 budget. The
State also dispersed an additional $21 million among all cities, towns and
villages after enacting a 3.9 percent increase in General Purpose State Aid in
1997-98 and continued this increase in 1998-99.
The 1998-99 budget includes an additional $29.4 million in unrestricted aid
targeted to 57 municipalities across the State. Other assistance for
municipalities with special needs totals more than $25.6 million. Twelve upstate
cities will receive $24.2 million in one-time assistance from a cash flow
acceleration of State aid.
Municipalities and school districts have engaged in substantial short term
and long term borrowings. In 1996, the total indebtedness of all localities in
the State other than New York City was approximately $20.0 billion. A small
portion (approximately $77.2 million) of that indebtedness represented borrowing
to finance budgetary deficits and was issued pursuant to State enabling
legislation. State law requires the Comptroller to review and make
recommendations concerning the budgets of those local government units other
than New York City authorized by State law to issue debt to finance deficits
during the period that
31
<PAGE>
such deficit financing is outstanding. Twenty-one localities had outstanding
indebtedness for deficit financing at the close of their fiscal year ending in
1996.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS. The following investment limitations cannot be
changed with respect to a Fund without the affirmative vote of the lesser of (1)
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund or (2) 67% or more of the
shares present at a shareholders' meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding
shares are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy. If a percentage
restriction is adhered to at the time of an investment or transaction, a later
increase or decrease in percentage resulting from changing values of portfolio
securities or amount of total assets will not be considered a violation of any
of the following limitations.
Each Fund will not:
(1) purchase any security if, as a result of that purchase, 25% or more
of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of issuers
having their principal business activities in the same industry,
except that this limitation does not apply to securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities
or to municipal securities or to certificates of deposit and bankers'
acceptances of domestic branches of U.S. banks.
The following interpretations apply to, but are not a part of, this
fundamental limitation (a): With respect to this limitation, domestic
and foreign banking will be considered to be different industries: and
(b) asset-backed securities will be grouped in industries based upon
their underlying assets and not treated as constituting a single,
separate industry.
(2) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and then not in
excess of 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets (including the amount of
the senior securities issued but reduced by any liabilities not
constituting senior securities) at the time of the issuance or
borrowing, except that the Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of
its total assets (not including the amount borrowed) for temporary or
emergency purposes.
(3) make loans, except through loans of portfolio securities or through
repurchase agreements, provided that for purposes of this
restriction, the acquisition of bonds, debentures, other debt
securities or instruments or participations or other interests
therein and investments in government obligations, commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances or similar instruments
will not be considered the making of a loan.
The following interpretation applies to, but is not a part of, this
fundamental restriction: The Fund's investments in master notes, funding
agreements and similar instruments will not be considered to be the
making of a loan.
(4) engage in the business of underwriting securities of other issuers,
except to the extent that the Fund might be considered an underwriter
under the federal securities laws in connection with its disposition
of portfolio securities.
32
<PAGE>
(5) purchase or sell real estate, except that investments in securities
of issuers that invest in real estate and investments in
mortgage-backed securities, mortgage participations or other
instruments supported by interests in real estate are not subject to
this limitation, and except that the Fund may exercise rights under
agreements relating to such securities, including the right to
enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason
of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated in an
orderly manner.
(6) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
owning securities or other instruments, but the Fund may purchase,
sell or enter into financial options and futures, forward and spot
currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts
or derivative instruments.
Money Market Portfolio, U.S. Government Portfolio and Tax-Free Fund will
not:
(7) purchase securities of any one issuer if, as a result, more than 5%
of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of that
issuer or the Fund would own or hold more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of that issuer, except that up to 25% of the Fund's
total assets may be invested without regard to this limitation, and
except that this limitation does not apply to securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities
or to securities issued by other investment companies.
With respect to Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio, the
following interpretation applies to, but is not a part of, fundamental
limitation (7): Mortgage- and asset-backed securities will not be considered to
have been issued by the same issuer by reason of the securities having the same
sponsor, and mortgage- and asset-backed securities issued by a finance or other
special purpose subsidiary that are not guaranteed by the parent company will be
considered to be issued by a separate issuer from the parent company.
With respect to Tax-Free Fund, the following interpretation applies to, but
is not a part of, fundamental limitation (7): Each state, territory and
possession of the United States (including the District of Columbia and Puerto
Rico), each political subdivision, agency, instrumentality and authority
thereof, and each multi-state agency of which a state is a member is a separate
"issuer." When the assets and revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality
or other political subdivision are separate from the government creating the
subdivision and the security is backed only by the assets and revenues of the
subdivision, such subdivision would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly,
in the case of an IDB or PAB, if that bond is backed only by the assets and
revenues of the non-governmental user, then that non-governmental user would be
deemed to be the sole issuer. However, if the creating government or another
entity guarantees a security, then to the extent that the value of all
securities issued or guaranteed by that government or entity and owned by the
Fund exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets, the guarantee would be considered a
separate security and would be treated as issued by that government or entity.

transactions. For example, employee accounts generally must be maintained at
PaineWebber, personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance and
short-term trading and participation in initial public offerings generally are
prohibited. In addition, the code of ethics puts restrictions on the timing of
personal investing in relation to trades by the PaineWebber mutual funds and
other Mitchell Hutchins advisory clients.
DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS. PaineWebber acts as distributor of shares of the
Funds under separate distribution contracts with each Corporation or Trust
("Distribution Contracts") which require PaineWebber to use its best efforts,
consistent with its other business, to sell shares of the Funds. Shares of the
Funds are offered continuously. Payments by U.S. Government Portfolio, Tax-Free
Fund, California Municipal Money Fund, New Jersey Municipal Money Fund and New
York Municipal Money Fund to compensate or reimburse PaineWebber for certain
expenses incurred in connection with its activities in providing certain
shareholder and account maintenance services (and, for New Jersey Municipal
Money Fund, distributing its shares) are authorized under the Distribution
Contracts and made in accordance with related plans of distribution ("Plans")
adopted by each Corporation or Trust with respect to those Funds in the manner
prescribed by Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. No such payments have been
authorized for Money Market Portfolio.
Among other things, each Plan provides that (1) PaineWebber will submit to
the board at least quarterly, and the board members will review, reports
regarding all amounts expended under the Plan and the purposes for which such
expenditures were made, (2) the Plan will continue in effect only so long as it
is approved at least annually, and any material amendment thereto is approved,
by the board, including those board members who are not "interested persons" of
the Corporation or Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest
in the operation of the Plan or any agreement related to the Plan, acting
44
<PAGE>
in person at a meeting called for that purpose, (3) payments by a Fund under the
Plan shall not be materially increased without the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the affected Fund's outstanding shares and (4) while
the Plan remains in effect, the selection and nomination of board members who
are not "interested persons" of the Corporation or Trust shall be committed to
the discretion of the board members who are not "interested persons" of the
Corporation or Trust.
Under the applicable Plan, U.S. Government Portfolio, Tax-Free Fund,
California Municipal Money Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund each is
authorized to pay PaineWebber a service fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at
the annual rate of up to 0.15% of its average daily net assets. Each of these
Funds currently pays service fees to PaineWebber at the annual rate of .125% of
average daily net assets. Any increase from the current annual rate would
require prior approval of the board. Under the applicable Plan, New Jersey
Municipal Money Fund reimburses PaineWebber for certain service and distribution
expenses at an annual rate of up to 0.12% of its average daily net assets.
During their fiscal years ended June 30, 1998, U.S. Government Portfolio,
Tax-Free Fund, California Municipal Money Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund
paid or accrued to PaineWebber service fees of $1,151,934, $2,249,750, $553,196
and $332,649, respectively. For the same periods, PaineWebber estimates that it
incurred expenses of $485,000, $793,000, $314,000 and $250,000, respectively, in
servicing Fund shareholders. PaineWebber estimates that these expenses were
incurred for each of these Funds, respectively, as follows: (a) allocated costs
related to shareholder servicing--$161,000, $161,000, $163,000 and $162,000; and
(b) service fees to Investment Executives--$324,000, $632,000, $151,000 and
$88,000.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, New Jersey Municipal Money Fund
paid or accrued to PaineWebber 12b-1 fees of $70,645. For the same period,
PaineWebber estimates that it incurred expenses of $145,000 in distributing
shares of this Fund and servicing Fund shareholders. PaineWebber estimates that
these expenses were incurred for New Jersey Municipal Money Fund as follows: (a)
advertising and promotion--$27,500; (b) printing--$87; and (c) service fees to
Investment Executives--$16,000.
"Allocated costs" include various internal costs allocated by PaineWebber to
its efforts at providing certain shareholder and account maintenance services.
These internal costs encompass office rent, salaries and other overhead expenses
of various PaineWebber departments and areas of operations.
In approving the continuance of the Plan for each Fund, the applicable board
considered all features of the distribution system for the Fund, including (a)
PaineWebber's view that the payment of service fees (and distribution fees for
New Jersey Municipal Money Fund) at the annual rate of 0.02% (0.02% for New
Jersey Municipal Money Fund) of the average daily net assets of the Fund held in
shareholder accounts serviced by Investment Executives and correspondent firms
was attractive to such Investment Executives and correspondent firms and would
result in greater growth of the Fund than might otherwise be the case, (b) the
extent to which Fund shareholders might benefit from economies of scale
resulting from growth in the Fund's assets and shareholder account size and the
potential for continued growth, (c) the services provided to the Fund and its
shareholders by PaineWebber pursuant to the applicable Distribution Contract,
(d) PaineWebber's expenses and costs under the Plan as described above and (e)
the fact that the expense to the Fund of the Plan could be offset if the Plan is
successful by the lower advisory fee rates that may be triggered as assets reach
higher levels.
With respect to each Plan, the applicable board considered the benefits that
would accrue to PaineWebber under the Plan in that PaineWebber would receive
service and advisory fees that are calculated based upon a percentage of the
average net assets of the Fund, which fees would increase if the Plan is
successful and the Fund attains and maintains increased asset levels.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
The Funds purchase portfolio securities from dealers and underwriters as
well as from issuers. Securities are usually traded on a net basis with dealers
acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated commission. Prices
paid to dealers in principal transactions generally include a "spread," which is
the difference between the prices at which the dealer is willing to purchase and
sell a specific security at the time. When securities are purchased directly
from an issuer, no commissions or discounts are paid. When securities are
purchased in underwritten offerings, they include a fixed amount of compensation
to the underwriter.
The Mitchell Hutchins Contracts authorize Mitchell Hutchins (with the
approval of each Corporation's or Trust's board) to select brokers and dealers
to execute purchases and sales of each Fund's portfolio securities. The
Contracts direct Mitchell Hutchins to use its best efforts to obtain the best
available price and most favorable execution with respect to all transactions
for the Funds. To the extent that the execution and price offered by more than
one dealer are comparable, Mitchell Hutchins may, in its discretion, effect
transactions in portfolio securities with dealers who provide the Funds with
research, analysis, advice and similar services. Although Mitchell Hutchins may
receive certain research or execution services in connection with these
transactions, Mitchell Hutchins will not purchase securities at a higher price
or sell securities at a lower price than would otherwise be paid if no weight
was attributed to the services provided by the executing dealer. Moreover,
Mitchell Hutchins will not enter into any explicit soft dollar arrangements
relating to principal transactions and will not receive in principal
transactions the types of services that could be purchased for hard dollars.
Research services furnished by the dealers through which or with which a Fund
effects securities transactions may be used by Mitchell Hutchins in advising
other funds or accounts and, conversely, research services furnished to Mitchell
Hutchins in connection with other funds or accounts that Mitchell Hutchins
advises may be used in advising the Fund. Information and research received from
dealers will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the services required to be
performed by Mitchell Hutchins under the Mitchell Hutchins Contracts. During its
past three fiscal years, no Fund has paid any brokerage commissions; therefore,
none has allocated any brokerage transactions for research, analysis, advice and
similar services.
Mitchell Hutchins may engage in agency transactions in over-the-counter
equity and debt securities in return for research and execution services. These
transactions are entered into only in compliance with procedures ensuring that
the transaction (including commissions) is at least as favorable as it would
have been if effected directly with a market-maker that did not provide research
or execution services. These procedures include Mitchell Hutchins receiving
multiple quotes from dealers before executing the transactions on an agency
basis.
Investment decisions for each Fund and for other investment accounts managed
by Mitchell Hutchins are made independently of each other in light of differing
considerations for the various accounts. However, the same investment decision
may occasionally be made for a Fund and one or more of such accounts. In such
cases, simultaneous transactions are inevitable. Purchases or sales are then
averaged as to price and allocated between the Fund and such other account(s) as
to amount according to a formula deemed equitable to the Fund and such
account(s). While in some cases this practice could have a detrimental effect
upon the price or value of the security as far as the Fund is concerned or upon
its ability to complete its entire order, in other cases it is believed that
coordination and the ability to participate in volume transactions will be
beneficial to the Fund.

HOLDINGS OF REGULAR BROKER-BROKERS
As of June 30, 1998, Money Market Portfolio owned commercial paper and
short-term corporate obligations issued by the following persons who are regular
broker-dealers for that Fund: Bear Stearns Companies Incorporated $303,311,447;
Goldman Sachs Group LP $98,173,665; Lehman Brothers Holdings Incorporated
$507,944,575; Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. $338,658,217; and Morgan Stanley, Dean
Witter & Discover Company $267,579,733.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING REDEMPTIONS
Each Fund may suspend redemption privileges or postpone the date of payment
during any period (1) when the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is closed or
trading on the NYSE is restricted as determined by the SEC, (2) when an
emergency exists, as defined by the SEC, that makes it not reasonably
practicable for a Fund to dispose of securities owned by it or to determine
fairly the market value of its assets or (3) as the SEC may otherwise permit.
The redemption price may be more or less than the shareholder's cost, depending
on the market value of the Fund's portfolio at the time, although each Fund
seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.
If conditions exist that make cash payments undesirable, California
Municipal Money Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund each reserve the right to
honor any request for redemption by making payment in whole or in part in
securities chosen by the Fund and valued in the same way as they would be valued
for purposes of computing the Fund's net asset value. If payment is made in
securities, a shareholder may incur brokerage expenses in converting these
securities into cash. Managed Municipal Trust has elected, however, to be
governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, under which it is obligated to redeem
shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value
of either Fund during any 90-day period for one shareholder. This election is
irrevocable unless the SEC permits its withdrawal.
Under normal circumstances, a Fund will redeem shares when so requested by a
shareholder's broker-dealer other than PaineWebber by telegram or telephone to
PaineWebber. Such a redemption order will be executed at the net asset value
next determined after the order is received by PaineWebber. Redemptions of Fund
shares effected through a broker-dealer other than PaineWebber may be subject to
a service charge by that broker-dealer.
VALUATION OF SHARES
Each Fund uses its best efforts to maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per
share. Each Fund's net asset value per share is determined by State Street Bank
and Trust Company ("State Street") as of 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on each
Business Day. As defined in the Prospectus, "Business Day" means any day on
which State Street's Boston offices, the New York City offices of PaineWebber
and PaineWebber's bank, The Bank of New York, are all open for business. One or
more of these institutions will be closed on the observance of the following
holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good
Friday, Patriot's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day,
Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
Each Fund values its portfolio securities in accordance with the amortized
cost method of valuation under Rule 2a-7 ("Rule") under 1940 Act. To use
amortized cost to value its portfolio securities, a Fund must adhere to certain
conditions under the Rule relating to the Fund's investments, some of which are
discussed in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information.
Amortized cost is an
47
<PAGE>
approximation of market value, whereby the difference between acquisition cost
and value at maturity of the instrument is amortized on a straight-line basis
over the remaining life of the instrument. The effect of changes in the market
value of a security as a result of fluctuating interest rates is not taken into
account, and thus the amortized cost method of valuation may result in the value
of a security being higher or lower than its actual market value. If a large
number of redemptions take place at a time when interest rates have increased, a
Fund might have to sell portfolio securities prior to maturity and at a price
that might not be desirable.
Each board has established procedures for the purpose of maintaining a
constant net asset value of $1.00 per share, which include a review of the
extent of any deviation of net asset value per share, based on available market
quotations, from the $1.00 amortized cost per share. If that deviation exceeds
1/2 of 1% for any Fund, its board will promptly consider whether any action
should be initiated to eliminate or reduce material dilution or other unfair
results to shareholders. Such action may include redeeming shares in kind,
selling portfolio securities prior to maturity, reducing or withholding
dividends and utilizing a net asset value per share as determined by using
available market quotations. Each Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of 90 days or less and except as otherwise indicated herein
will not purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than 13
months, will limit portfolio investments, including repurchase agreements, to
those U.S. dollar-denominated instruments that are of high quality and that
Mitchell Hutchins determines (pursuant to delegated authority from the
appropriate board) present minimal credit risks and will comply with certain
reporting and recordkeeping procedures. There is no assurance that constant net
asset value per share will be maintained. If amortized cost ceases to represent
fair value, the relevant board will take appropriate action.
In determining the approximate market value of portfolio investments, each
Fund may employ outside organizations, which may use a matrix or formula method
that takes into consideration market indices, matrices, yield curves and other
specific adjustments. This may result in the securities being valued at a price
different from the price that would have been determined had the matrix or
formula method not been used.
TAXES
FEDERAL TAXES. To continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated
investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code, each Fund must
distribute to its shareholders for each taxable year at least 90% of its
investment company taxable income (consisting generally of taxable net
investment income and net short-term capital gain, if any) plus, in the case of
each Municipal Fund, its net interest income excludable from gross income under
section 103(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and must meet several additional
requirements. With respect to each Fund, these requirements include the
following: (1) the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income each
taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities
loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of securities and certain other
income; (2) at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, at least
50% of the value of its total assets must be represented by cash and cash items,
U.S. government securities and other securities, with these other securities
limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount that does not exceed 5% of
the value of the Fund's total assets; and (3) at the close of each quarter of
the Fund's taxable year, not more than 25% of the value of its total assets may
be invested in securities (other than U.S. government securities) of any one
issuer.
48
<PAGE>
Dividends paid by a Municipal Fund will qualify as "exempt-interest
dividends," and thus will be excludable from gross income by its shareholders,
if it satisfies the additional requirement that, at the close of each quarter of
its taxable year, at least 50% of the value of its total assets consists of
securities the interest on which is excludable from gross income under section
103(a). Each Municipal Fund intends to continue to satisfy this requirement. The
aggregate amount annually designated by a Municipal Fund as exempt-interest
dividends may not exceed its interest for the year that is excludable under
section 103(a) over certain amounts disallowed as deductions. The shareholders'
treatment of dividends from the Municipal Funds under state and local income tax
laws may differ from the treatment thereof under the Internal Revenue Code.
Tax-exempt interest attributable to certain PABs (including, in the case of
a Municipal Fund receiving interest on such bonds, a proportionate part of the
exempt-interest dividends paid by that Fund) is subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax. Exempt-interest dividends received by a corporate
shareholder also may be indirectly subject to that tax without regard to whether
a Municipal Fund's tax-exempt interest was attributable to those bonds. PABs are
issued by or on behalf of public authorities to finance various privately
operated facilities and are described in the Prospectus.
Entities or persons who are "substantial users" (or persons related to
"substantial users") of facilities financed by IDBs or PABs should consult their
tax advisers before purchasing shares of a Municipal Fund because, for users of
certain of these facilities, the interest on those bonds is not exempt from
federal income tax. For these purposes, the term "substantial user" is defined
generally to include a "non-exempt person" who regularly uses in trade or
business a part of a facility financed from the proceeds of IDBs or PABs.
Up to 85% of social security and railroad retirement benefits may be
included in taxable income for recipients whose adjusted gross income (including
income from tax-exempt sources such as a Municipal Fund) plus 50% of their
benefits exceeds certain base amounts. Exempt-interest dividends from the
Municipal Funds still are tax-exempt to the extent described above and in the
Prospectus; they are only included in the calculation of whether a recipient's
income exceeds the established amounts.
If a Municipal Fund invests in any instruments that generate taxable income,
under the circumstances described in the Prospectus and in the discussion of
municipal market discount bonds below, the portion of any Fund dividend
attributable to the interest earned thereon will be taxable to that Fund's
shareholders as ordinary income to the extent of its earnings and profits and
only the remaining portion will qualify as an exempt-interest dividend. The
respective portions will be determined by the "actual earned" method, under
which the portion of any dividend that qualifies as an exempt-interest dividend
may vary, depending on the relative proportions of tax-exempt and taxable
interest earned during the dividend period. Moreover, if a Municipal Fund
realizes capital gain as a result of market transactions, any distribution of
that gain will be taxable to its shareholders.
Each Municipal Fund may invest in municipal bonds that are purchased,
generally not on their original issue, with market discount (that is, at a price
less than the principal amount of the bond or, in the case of a bond that was
issued with original issue discount, a price less than the amount of the issue
price plus accrued original issue discount) ("municipal market discount bonds").
If a bond's market discount is less than the product of (1) 0.25% of the
redemption price at maturity times (2) the number of complete years to maturity
after the taxpayer acquired the bond, then no market discount is considered to
exist. Gain on the disposition of a municipal market discount bond (other than a
bond with a fixed maturity date
49
<PAGE>
within one year from its issuance) generally is treated as ordinary (taxable)
income, rather than capital gain, to the extent of the bond's accrued market
discount at the time of disposition. Market discount on such a bond generally is
accrued ratably, on a daily basis, over the period from the acquisition date to
the date of maturity. In lieu of treating the disposition gain as above, a
Municipal Fund may elect to include market discount in its gross income
currently, for each taxable year to which it is attributable.
Dividends from investment company taxable income paid to a shareholder who,
as to the United States, is a nonresident alien individual, nonresident alien
fiduciary of a trust or estate, foreign corporation or foreign partnership
("foreign shareholder") generally are subject to a 30% withholding tax, unless
the applicable tax rate is reduced by a treaty between the United States and the
shareholder's country of residence. Withholding does not apply to a dividend
paid to a foreign shareholder that is "effectively connected with the
[shareholder's] conduct of a trade or business within the United States," in
which case the withholding requirements applicable to domestic taxpayers apply.
Exempt-interest dividends paid by the Municipal Funds are not subject to
withholding.
Each Fund will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax to the extent it
fails to distribute by the end of any calendar year substantially all its
ordinary (I.E., taxable) income for that year and any capital gain net income
for the one-year period ending October 31 of that year, plus certain other
amounts.
CALIFORNIA TAXES. In any year in which California Municipal Money Fund
qualifies as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code and 50% or more of its assets
at the close of each quarter of its taxable year are invested in obligations the
interest on which is exempt from personal income taxation by the State of
California, the Fund will be qualified under California law to pay
"exempt-interest" dividends which will be exempt from the California personal
income tax.
Individual shareholders of California Municipal Money Fund who reside in
California will not be subject to California personal income tax on
distributions received from the Fund to the extent such distributions are
attributable to interest on tax-exempt obligations issued by the State of
California or a California local government (or interest earned on tax-exempt
obligations of U.S. possessions or territories), provided that the Fund
satisfies the requirement of California law that at least 50% of its assets at
the close of each quarter of its taxable year be invested in obligations the
interest on which is exempt from personal income taxation by the State of
California. Income distributions from the Fund that are attributable to sources
other than those described in the preceding sentence will generally be taxable
to such shareholders as ordinary income. However, distributions from the Fund,
if any, that are derived from interest on obligations of the U.S. government may
also be designated by the Fund and treated by its shareholders as exempt from
California personal income tax, provided that the foregoing 50% requirement is
satisfied. In addition, distributions to such shareholders other than
exempt-interest dividends will be includable in income subject to the California
alternative minimum tax.
Shareholders of California Municipal Money Fund who are subject to the
California corporate franchise tax will be required to include distributions of
investment income and capital gains in their taxable income for purposes of that
tax. In addition, such distributions may be includable in income subject to the
alternative minimum tax.
Shares of California Municipal Money Fund will not be subject to the
California property tax.
The foregoing is a general, abbreviated summary of certain of the provisions
of the tax laws of the State of California presently in effect as they directly
govern the taxation of shareholders of California
50
<PAGE>
Municipal Money Fund. These provisions are subject to change by legislative or
administrative action, and any such change may be retroactive with respect to
Fund transactions. Shareholders are advised to consult with their own tax
advisers for more detailed information concerning California tax matters.
NEW YORK TAXES. Individual shareholders of New York Municipal Money Fund
will not be required to include in their gross income for New York State and
City purposes any portion of distributions received from the Fund that are
directly attributable (i) to interest earned on tax-exempt obligations issued by
New York State or any political subdivisions thereof (including the City) or
(ii) interest earned on obligations of U.S. possessions or territories that is
exempt from state taxation pursuant to federal law, provided that the Fund
qualifies as a RIC and satisfies the requirement that at least 50% of its assets
at the close of each quarter of its taxable year constitute obligations the
interest on which is tax-exempt for federal income tax purposes. Distributions
from the Fund that are attributable to sources other than those described in the
preceding sentence (including interest on obligations of other states and their
political subdivisions) will generally be taxable to individual shareholders as
ordinary income. However, distributions by the Fund, if any, that are derived
from interest earned on obligations of the U.S. government may also be
designated by the Fund and treated by its shareholders as exempt from personal
income taxation for New York State and City purposes, provided that at least 50%
of the value of its total assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable
year is invested in such obligations.
Shareholders of New York Municipal Money Fund that are subject to the New
York State corporation franchise tax or the City general corporation tax will be
required to include exempt-interest dividends paid by the Fund in their "entire
net income" for purposes of such taxes and will be required to include their
shares of the Fund in their investment capital for purposes of such taxes.
Shareholders of New York Municipal Money Fund will not be subject to the
unincorporated business tax imposed by the City solely by reason of their
ownership of shares in the Fund. If a shareholder is subject to unincorporated
business taxation by the City, income and gains distributed by the Fund will be
subject to such taxation except to the extent such distributions are directly
attributable to interest earned on tax-exempt obligations issued by New York
State or any political subdivision thereof (including the City).
Shares of New York Municipal Money Fund will not be subject to property
taxes imposed by New York State or the City.
Interest on indebtedness incurred by shareholders to purchase or carry
shares of New York Municipal Money Fund generally will not be deductible for New
York State personal income tax purposes.
Interest income of New York Municipal Money Fund that is distributed to its
shareholders will generally not be taxable to the Fund for purposes of the New
York State corporation franchise tax or the City general corporation tax.
The foregoing is a general, abbreviated summary of certain of the provisions
of the tax laws of New York State and the City presently in effect as they
directly govern the taxation of shareholders of New York Municipal Money Fund.
These provisions are subject to change by legislative or administrative action,
and any such change may be retroactive with respect to Fund transactions.
Shareholders are advised to consult with their own tax advisers for more
detailed information concerning New York State and City tax matters.

<PAGE>
NEW JERSEY TAXES. New Jersey Municipal Money Fund anticipates that
substantially all dividends paid by it will not be subject to the New Jersey
gross income tax. In accordance with the provisions of New Jersey law as
currently in effect, distributions paid by a "qualified investment fund" will
not be subject to the New Jersey gross income tax to the extent the
distributions are attributable to income received as interest or gain from New
Jersey Municipal Securities or direct U.S. government obligations or certain
other specified obligations. To be classified as a qualified investment fund, at
least 80% of the Fund's investments must consist of such obligations.
Distributions by a qualified investment fund that are attributable to most other
sources will be subject to the New Jersey gross income tax. If the Fund
continues to qualify as a qualified investment fund, any gain on the redemption
of its shares will not be subject to the New Jersey gross income tax. To the
extent a shareholder of the Fund is obligated to pay state or local taxes
outside of New Jersey, dividends earned by such shareholder may represent
taxable income.
The shares of New Jersey Municipal Money Fund are not subject to property
taxation by New Jersey or its political subdivisions.
The foregoing is a general, abbreviated summary of certain of the applicable
provisions of New Jersey tax law presently in effect. These provisions are
subject to change by legislative, judicial or administrative action and any such
change may be either prospective or retroactive with respect to Fund
transactions. Shareholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisers for
more detailed information concerning New Jersey State tax matters.

* The yields listed are for illustration only and are not necessarily
representative of the Fund's yield. The Fund invests primarily in
obligations the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax and
California personal income tax; however, some of the Fund's investments may
generate taxable income. Effective tax rates shown are those in effect on
the date of this Statement of Additional Information; such rates might
change after that date. Certain simplifying assumptions have been made. Any
particular taxpayer's rate may differ. The effective rates reflect the
highest tax bracket within each range of income listed. However, a
California, taxpayer within the lowest income ranges shown may fall within a
lower effective tax bracket. The figures set forth above do not reflect the
federal alternative minimum tax, limitations on federal or state itemized
deductions and personal exemptions or any state or local taxes payable on
Fund distributions (other than California personal income taxes).
The rates shown reflect federal rates for 1998 and California rates for 1997 in
effect as of the date hereof. Inflation adjusted income brackets for 1998 for
California are not yet available, and the California rates thus are still
subject to change with retroactive effect for 1998.
TAX-FREE INCOME VS. TAXABLE INCOME--NEW YORK MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND. Table
III below illustrates approximate equivalent taxable and tax-free yields at the
federal individual, and New York State and New York City personal, income tax
rates in effect on the date of this Statement of Additional Information. For
example, a New York City couple with taxable income of $90,000 in 1998, or a
single individual with taxable income of $55,000 in 1998 who lives in New York
City, whose investments earn a 4% tax-free yield, would have to earn a 6.23%
taxable yield to receive the same benefit. A couple who lives in New York State
outside of New York City with taxable income of $90,000 in 1998, or a single
individual who lives in New York State outside of New York City with taxable
income of $55,000 in 1998, would have to earn a 5.96% taxable yield to realize a
benefit equal to a 4% tax-free yield.

Fund distributions (other than New Jersey personal income taxes).
CALCULATION OF YIELD
Each Fund computes its yield and effective yield quotations using
standardized methods required by the SEC. Each Fund from time to time advertises
(1) its current yield based on a recently ended seven-day period, computed by
determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a
hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share at the beginning
of the period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from that
shareholder account, dividing the difference by the value of the account at the
beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return and then
multiplying the base period return by (365/7), with the resulting yield figure
carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent; and (2) its effective
yield based on the same seven-day period by compounding the base period return
by adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal to (365/7), and subtracting 1 from
the result, according to the following formula:
365/7
EFFECTIVE YIELD = [(BASE PERIOD RETURN + 1) ] - 1
55
<PAGE>
Each Municipal Fund from time to time also advertises its tax-equivalent
yield and tax-equivalent effective yield, also based on a recently ended
seven-day period. These quotations are calculated by dividing that portion of
the Fund's yield (or effective yield, as the case may be) that is tax-exempt by
1 minus a stated income tax rate and adding the product to that portion, if any,
of the Fund's yield that is not tax-exempt, according to the following formula:
E
TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD = ( ----- ) + t
1 - p
E = Tax exempt yield
p = stated income tax rate
t = taxable yield
Yield may fluctuate daily and does not provide a basis for determining
future yields. Because the yield of each Fund fluctuates, it cannot be compared
with yields on savings accounts or other investment alternatives that provide an
agreed to or guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time. However, yield
information may be useful to an investor considering temporary investments in
money market instruments. In comparing the yield of one money market fund to
another, consideration should be given to each fund's investment policies,
including the types of investments made, the average maturity of the portfolio
securities and whether there are any special account charges that may reduce the
yield.
The following yields are for the seven-day period ended June 30, 1998:

OTHER INFORMATION. The Funds' performance data quoted in advertising and
other promotional materials ("Performance Advertisements") represent past
performance and are not intended to predict or indicate future results. The
return on an investment in each Fund will fluctuate. In Performance
Advertisements, the Funds may compare their taxable or tax-free yields with data
published by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. for money funds ("Lipper"), CDA
Investment Technologies, Inc. ("CDA"), IBC/ Donoghue's Money Market Fund Report
("Donoghue"), Wiesenberger Investment Companies Service ("Wiesenberger"),
Investment Company Data Inc. ("ICD") or Morningstar Mutual Funds
("Morningstar"), or with the performance of recognized stock and other indexes,
including the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average, the Merrill Lynch Municipal Bond Indices, the Morgan Stanley
Capital World Index, the Lehman Brothers Treasury Bond Index, the Lehman
Brothers Government-Corporate Bond Index, the Salomon Brothers Government Bond
Index and the Consumer Price Index as published by the U.S. Department of
Commerce. The Funds also may refer in such materials to mutual fund performance
rankings and other data, such as comparative asset, expense and fee levels,
published by Lipper, CDA, Donoghue, Wiesenberger, ICD or Morningstar.
Performance Advertisements also may refer to discussions of the Funds and
comparative mutual fund data and ratings reported in independent periodicals,
including THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, MONEY Magazine, FORBES, BUSINESS WEEK,
FINANCIAL WORLD, BARRON'S, FORTUNE, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, THE
WASHINGTON POST and THE KIPLINGER LETTERS.
Each Fund may include discussions or illustrations of the effects of
compounding in Performance Advertisements. "Compounding" refers to the fact
that, if dividends on a Fund investment are reinvested by being paid in
additional Fund shares, any future income of the Fund would increase the value,
not only of the original Fund investment, but also of the additional Fund shares
received through reinvestment. As a result, the value of a Fund investment would
increase more quickly than if dividends had been paid in cash.
Each Fund may also compare its performance with the performances of bank
certificates of deposit ("CDs") as measured by the CDA Certificate of Deposit
Index and the Bank Rate Monitor National Index and the averages of yields of CDs
of major banks published by Banxquotes-Registered Trademark- Money Markets. In
comparing a Fund's performance to CD performance, investors should keep in mind
that bank CDs are insured in whole or in part by an agency of the U.S.
government and offer fixed principal and fixed or variable rates of interest and
that bank CD yields may vary depending on the financial institution offering the
CD and prevailing interest rates. Advertisements and other promotional materials
for the Funds or for the PaineWebber Resource Management Account
("RMA")-Registered Trademark- and Business Services Account ("BSA")-SM- programs
may compare features of the RMA and BSA programs to those offered by bank
checking accounts and other bank accounts. Bank accounts are insured in whole or
in part by an agency of the U.S. government and may offer a fixed rate of
return. Fund shares are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, and
returns thereon will fluctuate. While each Fund seeks to maintain a stable net
asset value of $1.00 per share, there can be no assurance that it will be able
to do so.
OTHER INFORMATION
Each Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts
business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders could, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable for the
57
<PAGE>
obligations of a Trust. However, each Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder
liability for acts or obligations of the Trust and requires that notice of such
disclaimer be given in each note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or
undertaking made or issued by the trustees or by any officers or officer by or
on behalf of that Trust, a Fund, the trustees or any of them in connection with
the Trust. Each Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification from a Fund's
property for all losses and expenses of any shareholder held personally liable
for the obligations of the Fund. Thus, the risk of a shareholder's incurring
financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances
in which a Fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations, a possibility
which PaineWebber believes is remote and not material. Upon payment of any
liability incurred by a shareholder, the shareholder paying such liability will
be entitled to reimbursement from the general assets of the Fund. The trustees
intend to conduct the operations of each Fund in such a way as to avoid, as far
as possible, ultimate liability of the shareholders for liabilities of the Fund.
Prior to February 28, 1996, Municipal Money Market Series was known as
PaineWebber/Kidder, Peabody Municipal Money Market Series. Prior to January 30,
1995, PaineWebber/Kidder, Peabody Municipal Money Market Series was known as
Kidder, Peabody Municipal Money Market Series. Prior to December 15, 1995, New
Jersey Municipal Money Fund was known as New Jersey Series.

Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP also acts as counsel to PaineWebber and Mitchell
Hutchins in connection with other matters. The law firm of Orrick, Herrington &

APPENDIX A
SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE RMA PROGRAM TO RMA ACCOUNTHOLDERS
Shares of the Funds are available primarily to investors who are
Participants in the Resource Management Account (RMA) program offered by
PaineWebber and its correspondent firms. The following is a summary of some of
the services available to RMA Participants. For more complete information,
investors should refer to separate materials their Investment Executives can
provide them.
THE PAINEWEBBER RMA PREMIER STATEMENT. RMA Participants receive a monthly
Premier account statement, which provides consolidated information to assist
with portfolio management decisions and personal financial planning. The Premier
account statement summarizes securities transactions, cash transactions, cash
advances and checks (if applicable) and provides cost basis information and
calculations of unrealized and realized gains and losses on most investments. A
"Summary of Accounts" statement and a menu of customized statement options is
available to make the monthly reporting even more comprehensive.
PRELIMINARY AND YEAR-END SUMMARIES. RMA Participants receive preliminary
and year-end summary account statements that provide a comprehensive overview of
tax-related activity in the account during the year to help investors with tax
planning.
CHOICE OF MONEY MARKET FUNDS AND AUTOMATIC SWEEP OF UNINVESTED CASH. As
described more fully in the Prospectus under the heading "Purchases--The RMA and
BSA Programs," RMA Participants select a money market fund as a primary fund
into which uninvested cash is automatically swept on a daily basis from a
variety of taxable and tax-free money funds. By automatically investing cash
balances into a money market fund, this sweep feature minimizes the extent to
which an investor's assets remain idle while held in the account pending
investment.
CHECK WRITING. RMA Participants have ready access to the assets held in
their RMA account through the check writing feature. There are no minimum check
amounts or per check charges. The RMA checks also include an expense coding
system that enables the investor to track types of expenses for tax and
financial planning.
DIRECT DEPOSIT. Regular payments from an employer, pension, social security
or other sources may be eligible for electronic deposit into RMA Participants'
accounts.
ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER/BILL PAYMENT SERVICE. RMA Participants can
electronically transfer money between their RMA and other financial
institutions, transfer funds to and from other PaineWebber accounts and pay
bills. A Bill Payment Service is available for an additional charge.
GOLD MASTERCARD-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-. RMA Participants can receive with a
complementary Gold MasterCard debit card that makes account assets easily
accessible. The Gold MasterCard is accepted by, merchants both in the U.S. and
abroad, and can be used to obtain cash advances at thousands of automated teller
machines. Through MasterCard's enhanced MasterAssist-Registered Trademark- and
MasterPurchase-Registered Trademark- programs, investors can obtain other
benefits, including rental car insurance, emergency medical and travel
assistance, legal services and purchase protection.
A-1
<PAGE>
EXTENDED ACCOUNT PROTECTION. Securities held in an RMA Account by
PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms are protected for up to the net
equity through private insurance in the event of the liquidation or failure of
the firm. This protection is in addition to the $500,000 in protection provided
to accountholders by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC").
Neither the SIPC protection nor the additional account protection insurance
applies to shares of the Funds because such shares are registered directly in
the name of the shareholder, and not in the name of PaineWebber or one of its
correspondent firms.
RESOURCE ACCUMULATION PLAN-SM-. The Resource Accumulation Plan is an
automatic mutual fund investment program that provides RMA participants the
ability to purchase shares of mutual funds on a regular, periodic basis. The
minimum purchase in the program is $100 per investment; however, initial minimum
purchase requirements of the designated mutual fund(s) must be met before an
investor can participate in this program. The participant must receive a
prospectus, which contains more complete information (including charges and
expenses), for each fund before the application form to participate in the
Resource Accumulation Plan is submitted.
FINANCIAL SERVICES CENTER AND RESOURCELINE-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-. RMA
Participants have day round the clock access to information concerning their
RMA. This service is available by calling (800) RMA-1000. RMA representatives
are available at the Financial Services Center from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
(Eastern time) weekdays, and from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time)
weekends, to answer inquiries from Participants regarding their accounts, and
ResourceLine, an automated voice response system, provides 24 hour account
information.
MARGIN. RMA Participants may choose to have a margin feature as part of
their RMA account.

is a summary of some of the services that are available to BSA Participants. For
more complete information, investors should refer to separate materials their
Investment Executives can provide them.
PREMIER BUSINESS SERVICES ACCOUNT STATEMENT--BSA Participants receive a
monthly Premier statement, which provides consolidated information to assist
with portfolio management decisions and business finances. The Premier statement
summarizes securities transactions, card transactions, cash advances and checks
in chronological order with running cash and money fund balances. The "Portfolio

options is now available to make the monthly reporting more comprehensive.
PRELIMINARY AND YEAR-END SUMMARIES STATEMENT--BSA Participants receive
preliminary and year-end summary information statements that provide a
comprehensive overview of tax-related activity in the account during the year to
help investors plan.
CHOICE OF MONEY MARKET FUNDS AND AUTOMATIC SWEEP OF UNINVESTED CASH--As
described more fully in the Prospectus under the heading "Purchases--The RMA and
BSA Programs," BSA Participants select a money market fund as a primary fund
into which uninvested cash is automatically swept on a daily basis from a
variety of taxable and tax-free money funds. By automatically investing cash
balances into a money market fund, this sweep feature minimizes the extent to
which an investor's assets remain idle while held in the account pending
investment.
CHECK WRITING--BSA Participants have ready access to the assets held in
their BSA account through the check writing feature. There are no minimum check
amounts. Participants can order from a number of business check styles to suit
their check writing needs. The BSA checks also include an expense code system
that enables investors to track business expense types for tax and financial
planning.
MASTERCARD BUSINESSCARD-REGISTERED TRADEMARK---BSA Participants can elect to
receive a complementary MasterCard BusinessCard debit card for easy access to
account assets. The MasterCard BusinessCard is accepted worldwide, and can be
used to obtain cash at thousands of automated teller machines. Through

MasterPurchase-Registered Trademark- programs, investors can obtain other
benefits including full value primary rental car insurance, emergency medical
and travel assistance, legal services and purchase protection.
MARGIN--BSA Participants may choose to have a margin feature as part of
their BSA account.
EXTENDED ACCOUNT PROTECTION--Securities held in a BSA Account by PaineWebber

private insurance in the event of the liquidation or failure of the firm. This
protection is in addition to the $500,000 in protection provided to
accountholders by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC").
Neither the SIPC protection nor the additional account protection insurance
applies to shares of the Funds because such shares are registered directly in
the name of the shareholder, and not in the name of PaineWebber or one of its
correspondent firms.

</TABLE>
WHO SHOULD INVEST. The Fund is designed for investors seeking safety,
liquidity and current income. Shares of the Fund are offered to qualified
retirement plans, including pension and profit-sharing plans, whether
established by corporations, partnerships or self-employed individuals, and
individual retirement accounts (all collectively referred to as "Retirement
Plans"). The Fund provides a convenient means for Retirement Plans to earn
current income at money market rates with minimal risk of fluctuation of
principal.
RISK FACTORS. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its
investment objective. While the types of money market instruments in which the
Fund invests generally are considered to have low risk of loss of principal or
interest, these securities are not completely risk free. In addition, the Fund
may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers, which may
present a greater degree of risk than investments in securities of domestic
issuers. During periods when interest rates are declining or rising, the Fund's
yield will tend to lag behind prevailing short-term interest rates. See
"Investment Objective and Policies."

This Example assumes that all dividends are reinvested and that the
percentage amounts listed under Annual Fund Operating Expenses remain the same
in the years shown. The above tables and the assumption in the Example of a 5%
annual return are required by regulations of the SEC applicable to all mutual
funds; the assumed 5% annual return is not a prediction of, and does not
represent, the Fund's projected or actual performance.
THE EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES, AND THE FUND'S ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
The actual expenses of the Fund will depend upon, among other things, the level
of average net assets and the extent to which the Fund incurs variable expenses,
such as transfer agency costs.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
The Fund's investment objective is to provide current income consistent with
liquidity and conservation of capital. The Fund invests in high quality money
market instruments having or deemed to have remaining maturities of 13 months or
less. These instruments include (1) U.S. government securities, (2) obligations
of U.S. and foreign banks, (3) commercial paper and other short-term obligations
of U.S. and foreign companies, governments and similar entities, including
variable and floating rate securities and participation interests, and (4)
repurchase agreements involving any of the foregoing. The Fund maintains a
dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.
The Fund may invest in obligations (including certificates of deposit,
bankers' acceptances, time deposits and similar obligations) of U.S. and foreign
banks having total assets at the time of purchase in excess of $1.5 billion. The
Fund may invest in non-negotiable time deposits of U.S. banks, savings
associations and similar depository institutions having total assets in excess
of $1.5 billion at the time of purchase only if the time deposits have
maturities of seven days or less.
The securities purchased by the Fund consist only of obligations that
Mitchell Hutchins determines, pursuant to procedures adopted by the
Corporation's board of directors (sometimes referred to as the "board"), present
minimal credit risks and are "First Tier Securities" as defined in Rule 2a-7
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"). As so defined, First Tier
Securities include securities that are rated in the highest short-term rating
category by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations
("NRSROs"), or by one NRSRO if only one NRSRO has assigned the obligation a
short-term rating. First Tier Securities also include unrated securities if
Mitchell Hutchins has determined the obligations to be of comparable quality to
rated securities that so qualify. The Fund may also purchase participation
interests in any of the securities in which it is permitted to invest.
Participation interests are pro rata interests in securities held by others. The
Fund generally may invest no more than 5% of its total assets in the securities
of a single issuer (other than securities issued by the U.S. government, its
agencies or instrumentalities).
INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS. In managing the Fund's portfolio, Mitchell
Hutchins may employ a number of professional money management techniques,
including varying the composition and the weighted average maturity of the
portfolio based upon its assessment of the relative values of various money
market instruments and future interest rate patterns, in order to respond to
changing economic and money market conditions and to shifts in fiscal and
monetary policy. Mitchell Hutchins may also seek to improve the Fund's yield by
purchasing or selling securities to take advantage of yield disparities among
similar or dissimilar money market instruments that regularly occur in the money
markets.
U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. The U.S. government securities in which the
Fund may invest include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury (such as
Treasury bills, notes and bonds) and obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S.
government agencies and instrumentalities, including securities that are
supported by the full faith and credit of the United States (such as Government
National Mortgage Association certificates ("GNMAs")), securities supported
primarily or solely by the creditworthiness of the issuer (such as securities of
the Resolution Funding Corporation and the Tennessee Valley Authority) and
securities that are supported primarily or solely by specific pools of assets
and the creditworthiness of a U.S. government-related issuer (such as mortgage-
backed securities issued by Fannie Mae, also known as the Federal National
Mortgage
Associa-
5
<PAGE>
tion, and Freddie Mac, also known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation).
The Fund may also invest in separately traded principal and interest
components of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, which are
traded independently under the Separate Trading of Registered Interest and
Principal of Securities ("STRIPS") program. Under the STRIPS program, the
principal and interest components are individually numbered and separately
issued by the U.S. Treasury.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES. The Fund may purchase variable and
floating rate securities with remaining maturities in excess of 13 months issued
by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities or guaranteed by the U.S.
government. In addition, the Fund may purchase variable and floating rate
securities of other issuers with remaining maturities in excess of 13 months if
the securities are subject to a demand feature exercisable within 13 months or
less. The yields on these securities are adjusted in relation to changes in
specific rates, such as the prime rate, and different securities may have
different adjustment rates. The Fund's investment in these securities must
comply with conditions established by the SEC under which they may be considered
to have remaining maturities of 13 months or less. Certain of these obligations
carry a demand feature that gives the Fund the right to tender them back to the
issuer or a remarketing agent and receive the principal amount of the security
prior to maturity. The demand feature may be backed by letters of credit or
other liquidity support arrangements provided by banks or other financial
institutions, whose credit standing affects the credit quality of the
obligation. Changes in the credit quality of these institutions could cause
losses to the Fund and affect its share price.
Variable rate securities include variable amount master demand notes, which
are unsecured redeemable obligations that permit investment of varying amounts
at fluctuating interest rates under a direct agreement between the Fund and the
issuer. The principal amount of these notes may be increased from time to time
by the parties (subject to specified maximums) or decreased by the Fund or the
issuer. These notes are payable on demand and may or may not be rated.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the
Fund purchases obligations from a bank or securities dealer or its affiliates
and simultaneously commits to resell the obligations to that counterparty at an
agreed upon date or upon demand and at a price reflecting a market rate of
interest unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased obligations.
The Fund maintains custody of the underlying obligations prior to their
repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special
"tri-party" custodian or sub-custodian that maintains separate accounts for both
the Fund and its counterparty. Thus, the obligation of the counterparty to pay
the repurchase price on the date agreed to or upon demand is, in effect, secured
by such obligations. Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated
with direct investments in securities, including possible decline in the market
value of the underlying obligations. Repurchase agreements involving obligations
other than U.S. government securities (such as commercial paper and corporate
bonds) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain
protections in the event of the counterparty's insolvency. If the seller or
guarantor becomes insolvent, the Fund may suffer delays, costs and possible
losses in connection with the disposition of collateral. The Fund intends to
enter into repurchase agreements only with counterparties in transactions
believed by Mitchell Hutchins to present minimal credit risks in accordance with
guidelines established by the board.
PURCHASE AND SALE TRANSACTIONS. The counterparty in a simultaneous purchase
and sale transaction with a Fund agrees to buy from the
6
<PAGE>
Fund the same or a similar security to the security it is selling to the Fund at
a mutually agreed-upon time and price. The difference between the purchase cost
and sale proceeds (which includes the accrued interest on the security)
determines the yield during the term of the transaction. The Fund does not have
the right to require the counterparty to provide additional collateral if the
market value of the securities purchased by the Fund falls below the price at
which the securities are to be sold to the counterparty. In addition, in
purchase and sale transactions, full legal title to the securities sold to a
Fund is transferred to the Fund. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund's return
on the transaction is determined by the difference between the market value of
the security bought by the Fund and the amount paid by the Fund, plus related
accrued interest. The Fund would have rights against a defaulting counterparty
for breach of contract with respect to any losses that result from those market
fluctuations.
FOREIGN SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated
securities of foreign issuers, including debt securities of foreign banks,
corporations, governments and similar entities. Such investments may consist of
obligations of foreign and domestic branches of foreign banks and foreign
branches of domestic banks. Such investments may involve risks that are
different from investments in U.S. issuers. These risks may include future
unfavorable political and economic developments, possible withholding taxes,
seizure of foreign deposits, currency controls, interest limitations or other
governmental restrictions that might affect the payment of principal or interest
on the securities held by the Fund. Additionally, there may be less publicly
available information about foreign issuers, as these issuers may not be subject
to the same regulatory requirements as domestic issuers.
MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS. While the types of money market instruments in
which the Fund invests generally are considered to have low risk of loss of
principal or interest, they are not completely risk free. An issuer or guarantor
may be unable or unwilling to pay interest or repay principal on its obligations
for many reasons, including adverse changes in its own financial condition or in
economic conditions generally.
During periods when interest rates are declining or rising, the Fund's yield
will tend to lag behind prevailing short-term market rates. This means that in
periods of declining interest rates, the Fund's yield will tend to be somewhat
higher than prevailing short-term market rates, and in periods of rising
interest rates the opposite generally will be true. Also, when interest rates
are falling, net cash inflows from the continuous sale of Fund shares are likely
to be invested in portfolio instruments producing lower yields than the balance
of the Fund's portfolio, thereby reducing its yield. In periods of rising
interest rates, the opposite can be true. There can be no assurance that the
Fund will achieve its investment objective.
YEAR 2000 RISKS. Like other mutual funds, financial and business
organizations around the world, the Fund could be adversely affected if the
computer systems used by Mitchell Hutchins, other service providers and entities
with computer systems that are linked to the Fund's records do not properly
process and calculate date-related information and data from and after January
1, 2000. This is commonly known as the "Year 2000 Issue." Mitchell Hutchins is
taking steps that it believes are reasonably designed to address the Year 2000
Issue with respect to the computer systems that it uses and to obtain
satisfactory assurances that comparable steps are being taken by the Fund's
other major service providers. However, there can be no assurance that these
steps will be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact on the Fund.
LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. The Fund may lend its securities to
qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors in an amount up to 33 1/3%
of its total assets taken at market value.
7
<PAGE>
Lending securities enables the Fund to earn additional income but could result
in a loss or delay in recovering these securities.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued"
basis, that is, for delivery beyond the normal settlement date at a stated price
and yield. The Fund generally would not pay for such securities or start earning
interest on them until they are received. However, when the Fund purchases
securities on a when-issued basis, it immediately assumes the risks of
ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. Failure by the issuer to
deliver a security purchased on a when-issued basis may result in a loss or
missed opportunity to make an alternative investment.
OTHER INFORMATION. The Fund may borrow money for temporary purposes, but
not in excess of 10% of its total assets, including reverse repurchase
agreements involving up to 5% of its net assets. The Fund may invest up to 10%
of its total assets in the securities of other money market funds. To the extent
the Fund invests in other money market funds, its shareholders incur duplicative
fees and expenses, including investment advisory fees.
The Fund may not invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid
securities, including repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven
days.
New forms of money market instruments continue to be developed. The Fund may
invest in such instruments to the extent consistent with its investment
objective.
The Fund's investment objective may not be changed without the approval of
its shareholders. Certain investment limitations, as described in the Statement
of Additional Information, also may not be changed without shareholder approval.
All other investment policies may be changed by the board without shareholder
approval.
PURCHASES
GENERAL. Fund shares are offered to Retirement Plans through brokerage
accounts established as Retirement Plan Sweep Accounts for such Retirement Plans
at PaineWebber or its correspondent firms. The minimum initial investment is
$25. Cash balances of $1 or more in a Retirement Plan Sweep Account (including
proceeds from securities sold) are invested daily, provided that the Fund
account value after any such subsequent purchase is at least $25. The Fund and
PaineWebber reserve the right to reject any purchase order and to suspend the
offering of Fund shares for a period of time.
An order to purchase Fund shares will be executed on the Business Day on
which federal funds become available to the Fund, at the Fund's next determined
net asset value per share. A "Business Day" is any day on which the Boston
offices of the Fund's custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company
("Custodian"), and the New York City offices of PaineWebber and PaineWebber's
bank are all open for business. "Federal funds" are funds deposited by a
commercial bank in an account at a Federal Reserve Bank that can be transferred
to a similar account of another bank in one day and thus may be made immediately
available to the Fund through its Custodian.
To the extent that amounts transferred by check or wire or from funds held
at PaineWebber into a Retirement Plan Sweep Account create a free credit cash
balance, that cash balance will be automatically invested in Fund shares, as
described above, when federal funds are available for the investment, unless the
account holder specifically instructs its PaineWebber Investment Executive or
correspondent firm not to purchase Fund shares with such amounts.
On any Business Day, the Fund will accept purchase orders and credit shares
to investors' accounts as follows.
8
<PAGE>
PURCHASES WITH FUNDS HELD AT PAINEWEBBER. Investors may invest in Fund
shares with funds held in their Retirement Plan Sweep Account, including funds
from the sale of securities, as described above under "General." Federal funds
normally are available for cash balances arising from the sale of securities
held in a Retirement Plan Sweep Account on the Business Day following
settlement, but in some cases can take longer.
PURCHASES BY CHECK. Investors may purchase Fund shares by depositing into
their Retirement Plan Sweep Account checks drawn on a U.S. bank. The Retirement
Plan's brokerage account number should be included on the check.
As noted above, Fund shares will be purchased when federal funds are
available. Federal funds are deemed available to the Fund two Business Days
after deposit of a personal check and one Business Day after deposit of a
cashier's or certified check. PaineWebber may benefit from the temporary use of
the proceeds of personal checks to the extent those checks are converted to
federal funds in fewer than two Business Days.
PURCHASES BY WIRE. Investors may also purchase Fund shares by instructing
their banks to transfer federal funds by wire to their Retirement Plan Sweep
Account. Wire transfers should be directed to: The Bank of New York, ABA
021000018, PaineWebber Inc., A/C 890-0114-088, OBI=FBO [Account Name]/[Brokerage
Account Number]. The wire must include the investor's name and the Retirement
Plan brokerage account number. Investors wishing to transfer federal funds into
their accounts should contact their PaineWebber Investment Executives or
correspondent firms to determine the appropriate wire instructions.
If PaineWebber receives a notice from an investor's bank of a wire transfer
of federal funds for a purchase of Fund shares by 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on a
Business Day, the purchase will be executed on that Business Day. All other wire
purchase orders will be executed at 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on the next
Business Day. PaineWebber and/or an investor's bank may impose a service charge
for wire purchases.
ELIGIBLE PLANS. PaineWebber offers a variety of Retirement Plans, including
individual retirement accounts (standard and rollover), savings investment match
plans for employees ("SIMPLE IRAs"), simplified employee pension plans, cash or
deferred arrangement/simplified employee pension plans, profit sharing plans,
401(k) plans, money purchase plans, defined benefit plans and target benefit
plans. Other Retirement Plans also may be held in custody at PaineWebber or its
correspondent firms. For further information regarding any of these Retirement
Plans, investors should contact their PaineWebber Investment Executives or
correspondent firms.
Although the amount that may be contributed to a Retirement Plan in any one
year is subject to certain limitations, assets already held by a Retirement Plan
may be invested in the Fund without regard to such limitations.
Shares of the Fund may not be purchased by any Retirement Plan for which
either PaineWebber, Mitchell Hutchins or PW Trust Company is a fiduciary (within
the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the Internal
Revenue Code) in any capacity other than solely by reason of the sponsorship of
a master or prototype plan adopted by such Plan or the provision of
nondiscretionary trust services to such Plan. Thus, if PaineWebber, Mitchell
Hutchins or PW Trust Company serves as investment manager or renders investment
advice to a Retirement Plan, that Plan may not purchase Fund shares.
REDEMPTIONS
Shareholders may redeem (sell) any number of shares by submitting a
redemption request to PaineWebber. Shareholders should contact their
9
<PAGE>
PaineWebber Investment Executives or correspondent firms to effect such
redemptions. Fund shares will be redeemed at the net asset value per share next
determined after receipt by the Fund's transfer agent ("Transfer Agent") of
instructions from PaineWebber to redeem. PaineWebber delivers such instructions
to the Transfer Agent prior to the determination of net asset value at 12:00
noon, Eastern time, on any Business Day. In addition, unless shareholders
otherwise notify their PaineWebber Investment Executives or correspondent firms,
any securities purchase or other debit in their Retirement Plan Sweep Accounts
will be paid for automatically on the settlement date by redeeming Fund shares
held in such accounts.
No adverse tax consequences result from a redemption of Fund shares if the
redemption proceeds remain in the Retirement Plan Sweep Account.
Shareholders with questions about redemption requirements should consult
their PaineWebber Investment Executives or correspondent firms. Shareholders who
redeem all their shares will receive cash credits to their Retirement Plan Sweep
Accounts for dividends earned on those shares to the day of redemption. The
redemption price may be more or less than the purchase price, depending on the
market value of the Fund's portfolio; however, the Fund anticipates that its net
asset value per share will normally be $1.00 per share. See "Valuation of
Shares."
Because the Fund incurs certain fixed costs in maintaining shareholder
accounts, the Fund reserves the right to redeem all Fund shares in any
shareholder account of less than $25 net asset value. If the Fund elects to do
so, it will notify the shareholder and provide the shareholder with an
opportunity to increase the amount invested to $25 or more within 60 days of the
notice. This notice may appear on the shareholder's account statement. If a
shareholder requests redemption of shares that were purchased recently, the Fund
may delay the payment of redemption proceeds until it is assured that it has
received good payment for the purchase of the shares. In the case of purchases
by check, this can take up to 15 days.
RETIREMENT PLAN DISTRIBUTIONS
Distributions from a Retirement Plan, except those representing returns of
non-deductible contributions thereto, generally are taxable income to the
participant. Distributions from a Retirement Plan to a participant prior to the
time the participant reaches age 59 1/2 or becomes permanently disabled may
subject the participant to an additional 10% penalty tax. Shareholders should
consult their tax advisers concerning the timing and consequences of
distributions from a Retirement Plan.
CHECK REDEMPTIONS. Shareholders eligible for distributions from their
Retirement Plan generally may redeem Fund shares by drawing a check, a supply of
which may be obtained through PaineWebber, for $250 or more against their Fund
accounts. With respect to Retirement Plans that permit participants to direct
the investment of their Plan account balances, only those Plan participants who
are 59 1/2 years of age or older are eligible for the check redemption service;
with respect to other Retirement Plans, the Plan fiduciary having investment
responsibility is eligible for the service. When a check is presented to the
Transfer Agent for payment, the Transfer Agent will cause the Fund to redeem
sufficient shares to cover the amount of the check. The shareholder will
continue to receive dividends on those shares until the check is presented to
the Transfer Agent for payment. The date on which the Transfer Agent processes
the check, not the date written on the check, determines the year in which the
distribution is reported to the Internal Revenue Service. Shareholders who must
take annual distributions by December 31 should allow sufficient time for
processing.
10
<PAGE>
Checks can be made payable to the order of any person in any amount not less
than $250; however, these checks may not be used to purchase securities in
transactions with PaineWebber. Shareholders will receive copies of their
cancelled checks. If a shareholder has insufficient shares to cover a check, the
check will be returned to the payee marked "nonsufficient funds." Checks written
in amounts less than $250 also will be returned. Shareholders should not
attempt, by writing checks, to redeem all assets held in their Retirement Plan
Sweep Accounts, transfer such accounts, correct excess contributions to a
Retirement Plan or withdraw amounts classified as voluntary contributions to a
Retirement Plan. All check redemptions will be reported to the Internal Revenue
Service as taxable distributions; therefore, any of these actions could have
adverse tax consequences. Charges may be imposed for specially imprinted checks,
additional copies of cancelled checks, stop payment orders, checks returned
"nonsufficient funds" and checks returned because they are written for less than
$250. Charges not paid by the shareholder may be paid by the automatic
redemption of an appropriate number of Fund shares. PaineWebber reserves the
right to modify or terminate the check redemption service at any time or to
impose a service charge in connection with it.
Shareholders who are interested in the check redemption service should
contact their PaineWebber Investment Executives or correspondent firms.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN. Shareholders eligible for distributions from
their Retirement Plan may have PaineWebber redeem a portion of their Fund shares
monthly, quarterly or semi-annually under the Fund's systematic withdrawal plan
("SWP"). Minimum monthly, quarterly and semiannual withdrawal amounts are $100,
$300 and $600, respectively. The SWP is not available to shareholders who have
elected to have income taxes withheld from their Retirement Plan distributions.
The proceeds of redemptions under the SWP will be mailed directly to the
shareholder or deposited into a non-Retirement Plan account held at PaineWebber.
A shareholder's participation in the SWP will be suspended if the shareholder's
Fund balance is below the minimum withdrawal amount designated by the
shareholder (for example, monthly withdrawals will be suspended for a
shareholder whose Fund balance is below $100). With respect to Retirement Plans
that permit participants to direct the investment of their Retirement Plan
account balances, only those participants who are 59 1/2 years of age or older
are eligible to participate in the SWP; with respect to other Retirement Plans,
the Retirement Plan fiduciary having investment responsibility is eligible for
the SWP. Shareholders who are interested in the SWP should contact their
PaineWebber Investment Executives or correspondent firms for more information
and an application. PaineWebber reserves the right to modify or terminate the
SWP at any time or to impose a service charge in connection with it.
VALUATION OF SHARES
The Fund uses its best efforts to maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per
share. Net asset value per share is determined by dividing the value of the
securities plus any cash or other assets held by the Fund less all its
liabilities by the number of Fund shares outstanding. The Fund's net asset value
is computed once each Business Day at 12:00 noon, Eastern time.
The Fund values its portfolio securities using the amortized cost method of
valuation, under which market value is approximated by amortizing the difference
between the acquisition cost and value at maturity of an instrument on a
straight-line basis over its remaining life. All cash, receivables and current
payables are carried at their face value. Other assets are valued at fair value
as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the board.
11
<PAGE>
DIVIDENDS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS. Each Business Day, the Fund declares as dividends all of its net
investment income. Shares begin earning dividends on the day they are purchased;
dividends are accrued to shareholder accounts daily and are automatically paid
in additional Fund shares monthly. Shares do not earn dividends on the day they
are redeemed. Net investment income includes accrued interest and earned
discount (including both original issue and market discounts), less amortization
of premium and accrued expenses.
The Fund distributes any net short-term capital gain annually but may make
more frequent distributions of such gain if necessary to maintain its net asset
value per share at $1.00 or to avoid income or excise taxes. The Fund does not
expect to realize net long-term capital gain and thus does not anticipate
payment of any long-term capital gain distributions.
TAXES. The Fund intends to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated
investment company under the Internal Revenue Code so that it will be relieved
of federal income tax on that part of its investment company taxable income
(consisting generally of net investment income and net short-term capital gain,
if any) that it distributes to its shareholders.
Dividends received by a Retirement Plan ordinarily will not be subject to
taxation until the participant withdraws the proceeds from the Retirement Plan.
Generally, withdrawals from a Retirement Plan will be taxable as ordinary
income; and withdrawals made prior to the time the participant reaches age
59 1/2 or becomes permanently disabled will be subject to an additional tax
equal to 10% of the amount distributed (unless they are used to pay certain
higher education expenses and certain acquisition costs of first time home
buyers). If the distributions from a Retirement Plan (other than a governmental
or church plan) for any taxable year following the year in which the participant
reaches age 70 1/2 are less than the "minimum required distribution" for that
taxable year, an excise tax equal to 50% of the deficiency may be imposed.
Moreover, certain contributions to a Retirement Plan in excess of the amounts
permitted by law may be subject to an excise tax.
The Fund notifies its shareholders following the end of each calendar year
of the amount of all dividends paid that year.
The foregoing is only a summary of some of the important federal tax
considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders; see the
Statement of Additional Information for a further discussion. There may be other
federal, state or local tax considerations applicable to a particular investor.
Prospective shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisers.
MANAGEMENT
The board, as part of its overall management responsibility, oversees
various organizations responsible for the Fund's day-to-day management.
PaineWebber, the Fund's investment adviser and administrator, provides a
continuous investment program for the Fund and supervises all aspects of its
operations. As sub-adviser to the Fund, Mitchell Hutchins makes and implements
investment decisions and, as sub-administrator, is responsible for the
day-to-day administration of the Fund.
PaineWebber receives a monthly fee for these services, and for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1998, the Fund's effective advisory and administration fee
paid to PaineWebber was equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
PaineWebber (not the Fund) pays Mitchell Hutchins a fee for its sub-advisory and
sub-administration services, at an annual rate of 20% of the fee received by
PaineWebber from the Fund for advisory and administrative services.
12
<PAGE>
The Fund also incurs other expenses. For the fiscal year ended June 30,
1998, the Fund's ratio of expenses as a percentage of average net assets was
0.78%. The Fund's expense ratio may be higher than those of other PaineWebber
money market funds due in part to the relatively small size of the accounts in
the Fund.
In accordance with procedures adopted by the board, the Fund may pay fees to
PaineWebber for its services as lending agent in its portfolio securities
lending program. Mitchell Hutchins personnel may engage in securities
transactions for their own accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that
establishes procedures for personal investing and restricts certain
transactions.
PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins are located at 1285 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, New York 10019. Mitchell Hutchins is a wholly owned asset
management subsidiary of PaineWebber, which is in turn wholly owned by Paine
Webber Group Inc., a publicly owned financial services holding company. At July
31, 1998, PaineWebber or Mitchell Hutchins was investment adviser of 32
registered investment companies with 69 separate portfolios and aggregate assets
in excess of $40.5 billion.
DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS. PaineWebber is the distributor of Fund shares.
Under a plan of distribution ("Plan"), the Fund is authorized to pay PaineWebber
a 12b-1 service fee at the annual rate of up to 0.15% of the Fund's average
daily net assets. The Fund currently pays PaineWebber a 12b-1 service fee at the
annual rate of 0.125% of its average daily net assets. Any increase in this
annual rate requires prior approval by the Corporation's board of directors.
Under the Plan, PaineWebber uses the 12b-1 service fee to pay PaineWebber
Investment Executives and correspondent firms for shareholder servicing,
currently at the annual rate of 0.06% of the Fund's average daily net assets
held in accounts serviced by such Investment Executives and correspondent firms.
The fee is also used to offset PaineWebber's other expenses in servicing and
maintaining shareholder accounts. These expenses may include the costs of the
PaineWebber branch office in which the Investment Executive is based, such as
rent, communications equipment, employee salaries and other overhead costs.
During the period they are in effect, the Plan and a related distribution
contract ("Distribution Contract") obligate the Fund to pay the 12b-1 service
fee to PaineWebber as compensation for its service activities and not as
reimbursement for specific expenses incurred. Thus, even if PaineWebber's
expenses exceed its 12b-1 service fee, the Fund will not be obliged to pay more
than the fee and, if PaineWebber's expenses are less than the fee, it will
retain its full fee and realize a profit. The Fund will pay the 12b-1 service
fee to PaineWebber until either the Plan or the Distribution Contract is
terminated or not renewed. In that event, PaineWebber's 12b-1 service expenses
in excess of 12b-1 service fees received or accrued through the termination date
will be PaineWebber's sole responsibility and not obligations of the Fund.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
From time to time the Fund may advertise its "yield" and "effective yield."
Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future performance. The "yield" of the Fund is the income on an
investment in the Fund over a specified seven-day period. This income is then
"annualized" (that is, assumed to be earned each week over a 52-week period) and
shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is calculated
similarly but, when annualized, the income earned is assumed to be reinvested.
The "effective yield" will be higher than the "yield" because of the compounding
effect of this assumed reinvestment.
The Fund may also advertise other performance data, which may consist of the
annual or
13
<PAGE>
cumulative return (including realized net short-term capital gain, if any)
earned on a hypothetical investment in the Fund since it began operations on
July 2, 1988, or for shorter periods. This return data may or may not assume
reinvestment of dividends (compounding).
The performance of shareholder accounts with small balances will differ from
the quoted performance because daily income for each shareholder account is
rounded to the nearest whole penny. Accordingly, very small shareholder accounts
(approximately $31 or less at current interest rates) that generate less than
1/2 cent per day of income will earn no dividends.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Corporation's name is "PaineWebber RMA Money Fund, Inc." The Corporation
was incorporated in Maryland on July 2, 1982 and is registered with the SEC as
an open-end management investment company. The Corporation has an authorized
capitalization of 60 billion shares of $0.001 par value common stock; 20 billion
of these shares are designated as shares of the Fund, and the remaining shares
are classified as shares of the two other series of the Corporation.
Shareholders of the Fund are entitled to one vote for each full share held and
fractional votes for fractional shares held. Voting rights are not cumulative,
and as a result, the holders of more than 50% of the shares of the Corporation
may elect all of its directors.
The Corporation does not hold annual shareholder meetings. There normally
will be no meetings of shareholders to elect directors unless fewer than a
majority of the directors holding office have been elected by shareholders. The
directors are required to call a meeting of shareholders when requested in
writing to do so by the shareholders of record holding at least 25% of the
Corporation's outstanding shares. Each share of the Fund has equal voting,
dividend and liquidation rights. The shares of each series of the Corporation
will be voted separately except when an aggregate vote of all series is required
by the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under Maryland law.
CERTIFICATES. To avoid additional operating expenses and for investor
convenience, share certificates are not issued. Ownership of Fund shares is
recorded on a stock register by the Transfer Agent, and shareholders have the
same rights of ownership with respect to such shares as if certificates had been
issued.
REPORTS. Shareholders receive audited annual and unaudited semiannual
financial statements of the Fund. All purchases and redemptions of Fund shares
are confirmed to shareholders at least quarterly. To avoid sending duplicate
copies of materials to households, the Fund may mail only one copy of each
annual and semiannual report to shareholders having the same last name and
address on the Fund's records. However, each shareholder may call 201-902-8312
to ask that copies of those materials be sent personally to that shareholder.
CUSTODIAN AND TRANSFER AGENT. State Street Bank and Trust Company, One
Heritage Drive, North Quincy, Massachusetts 02171, is custodian of the Fund's
assets. PFPC Inc. ("PFPC"), a subsidiary of PNC Bank, N.A., 400 Bellevue
Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809, is the Fund's transfer and dividend
disbursing agent.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
PaineWebber Retirement Money Fund ("Fund") is a diversified series of Paine
Webber RMA Money Fund, Inc. ("Corporation"), a professionally managed money
market fund. The Fund seeks to provide investors with current income consistent
with liquidity and conservation of capital. The Fund's investment adviser,
administrator and distributor is PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber"); its
sub-adviser and sub-administrator is Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc.
("Mitchell Hutchins"), a wholly owned asset management subsidiary of
PaineWebber. This Statement of Additional Information is not a prospectus and
should be read only in conjunction with the Fund's current Prospectus, dated
August 29, 1998. A copy of the Prospectus may be obtained by contacting any
PaineWebber Investment Executive or correspondent firm or by calling toll-free
1-800-647-1568. This Statement of Additional Information is dated August 29,
1998.
INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
The following supplements the information contained in the Prospectus
concerning the Fund's investment policies and limitations.
YIELDS AND RATINGS OF MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS; FIRST TIER SECURITIES. The
yields on the money market instruments in which the Fund invests (such as U.S.
government securities, commercial paper and bank obligations) are dependent on a
variety of factors, including general money market conditions, conditions in the
particular market for the obligation, the financial condition of the issuer, the
size of the offering, the maturity of the obligation and the ratings of the
issue. The ratings of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations
("NRSROs") represent their opinions as to the quality of the obligations they
undertake to rate. Ratings, however, are general and are not absolute standards
of quality. Consequently, obligations with the same rating, maturity and
interest rate may have different market prices.
Subsequent to its purchase by the Fund, an issue may cease to be rated or
its rating may be reduced. If a security in the Fund's portfolio ceases to be a
"First Tier" security, as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 ("1940 Act"), or Mitchell Hutchins becomes aware that a security has
received a rating below the second highest rating by any NRSRO, Mitchell
Hutchins, and in certain cases the Corporation's board of directors ("board"),
will consider whether the Fund should continue to hold the obligation. A First
Tier security is a security that is either (1) rated in the highest short-term
rating category by at least two NRSROs, (2) rated in the highest short-term
rating category by a single NRSRO if only that NRSRO has assigned the obligation
a short-term rating, (3) issued by an issuer that has received such a short-term
rating with respect to a security that is comparable in priority and security,
(4) subject to a guarantee rated in the highest short-term rating category or
issued by a guarantor that has received the highest short-term rating for a
comparable debt obligation or (5) unrated, but determined by Mitchell Hutchins
to be of comparable quality. A First Tier security rated in the highest
short-term rating category by a single NRSRO at the time of purchase that
subsequently receives a rating below the highest rating category from a
different NRSRO may continue to be considered a First Tier security.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE DEMAND INSTRUMENTS. The Fund may invest in
variable and floating rate securities with demand features. A demand feature
gives the Fund the right to sell the securities back to a specified party,
usually a remarketing agent, on a specified date, at a price equal to their
amortized cost plus accrued interest. A demand feature is often backed by a
letter of credit, guarantee or other liquidity
<PAGE>
support arrangement from a bank or other financial institution that may be drawn
upon demand, after specified notice, for all or any part of the exercise price
of the demand feature. Generally, the Fund intends to exercise demand features
(1) upon a default under the terms of the underlying security, (2) to maintain
its portfolio in accordance with its investment objective and policies or
applicable legal or regulatory requirements or (3) as needed to provide
liquidity to the Fund in order to meet redemption requests. The Fund may also
exercise a demand feature if Mitchell Hutchins deems it prudent to do so. The
ability of a bank or other financial institution to fulfill its obligations
under a letter of credit, guarantee or other liquidity arrangement might be
affected by possible financial difficulties of its borrowers, adverse interest
rate or economic conditions, regulatory limitations or other factors. The
interest rate on floating rate or variable rate securities ordinarily is
readjusted on the basis of the prime rate of the bank that originated the
financing or some other index or published rate, such as the 90-day U.S.
Treasury bill rate, or is otherwise reset to reflect market rates of interest.
Generally, these interest rate adjustments cause the market value of floating
rate and variable rate securities to fluctuate less than the market value of
fixed rate obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the
Fund purchases securities or other obligations and simultaneously commits to
resell them to the counterparty at an agreed-upon date or upon demand and at a
price reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to the coupon rate or
maturity of the purchased obligations. The Fund maintains custody of the
underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular
custodian or through a special "tri-party" custodian or sub-custodian that
maintains separate accounts for both the Fund and its counterparty. Thus the
obligation of the counterparty to pay the repurchase price on the date agreed to
or upon demand is, in effect, secured by such obligations. If their value
becomes less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed upon additional amount,
the counterparty must provide additional collateral so that at all times the
collateral is at least equal to the repurchase price plus any agreed upon
additional amount. The difference between the total amount to be received upon
repurchase of the obligations and the price that was paid by the Fund upon
acquisition is accrued as interest and included in the Fund's net investment
income.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements with banks and securities dealers up to an aggregate value of not
more than 5% of its net assets. Such agreements involve the sale of securities
held by the Fund subject to its agreement to repurchase the securities at an
agreed-upon date or upon demand and at a price reflecting a market rate of
interest. Such agreements are considered to be borrowings and may be entered
into only for temporary or emergency purposes. While a reverse repurchase
agreement is outstanding, the Fund's custodian segregates assets to cover the
Fund's obligations under the reverse repurchase agreement. See "Investment
Policies and Restrictions--Segregated Accounts."
ILLIQUID SECURITIES. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net
assets in illiquid securities. The term "illiquid securities" for this purpose
means securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary
course of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued the
securities and includes, among other things, repurchase agreements maturing in
more than seven days and restricted securities other than those Mitchell
Hutchins has determined to be liquid pursuant to guidelines established by the
board. To the extent the Fund invests in illiquid securities, it may not be able
to readily liquidate such investments and may have to sell other investments if
necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.
2
<PAGE>
Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933
("1993 Act") and may be sold only in privately negotiated or other exempted
transactions or after a 1933 Act registration statement has become effective.
Where registration is required, the Fund may be obligated to pay all or part of
the registration expenses and a considerable period may elapse between the time
of the decision to sell and the time the Fund may be permitted to sell a
security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period,
adverse market conditions were to develop, the Fund might obtain a less
favorable price than prevailed when it decided to sell.
However, not all restricted securities are illiquid. A large institutional
market has developed for many U.S. and foreign securities that are not
registered under the 1933 Act. Institutional investors generally will not seek
to sell these instruments to the general public, but instead will often depend
either on an efficient institutional market in which such unregistered
securities can be readily resold or on an issuer's ability to honor a demand for
repayment. Therefore, the fact that there are contractual or legal restrictions
on resale to the general public or certain institutions is not dispositive of
the liquidity of such investments.
Institutional markets for restricted securities have developed as a result
of Rule 144A, which establishes a "safe harbor" from the registration
requirements of the 1933 Act for resales of certain securities to qualified
institutional buyers providing both readily ascertainable values for restricted
securities and the ability to liquidate an investment in order to satisfy share
redemption orders. Such markets include automated systems for the trading,
clearance and settlement of unregistered securities, of domestic and foreign
issuers, such as the PORTAL System sponsored by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. An insufficient number of qualified institutional
buyers interested in purchasing Rule 144A-eligible restricted securities held by
the Fund, however, could affect adversely the marketability of such portfolio
securities, and the Fund might be unable to dispose of such securities promptly
or at favorable prices.
The board has delegated the function of making day-to-day determinations of
liquidity to Mitchell Hutchins, pursuant to guidelines approved by the board.
Mitchell Hutchins takes into account a number of factors in reaching liquidity
decisions, including (1) the frequency of trades for the security, (2) the
number of dealers that make quotes for the security, (3) the number of dealers
that have undertaken to make a market in the security, (4) the number of other
potential purchasers and (5) the nature of the security and how trading is
effected (E.G., the time needed to sell the security, how offers are solicited
and the mechanics of transfer). Mitchell Hutchins monitors the liquidity of
restricted securities held by the Fund and reports periodically on such
decisions to the board.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. The Fund may purchase
securities on a "when-issued" or "delayed delivery" basis. A security purchased
on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis is recorded as an asset on the
commitment date and is subject to changes in market value, generally based upon
changes in the level of interest rates. Thus, fluctuation in the value of the
security from the time of the commitment date will affect the Fund's net asset
value. When the Fund commits to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis, its custodian segregates assets to cover the amount of the
commitment. See "Investment Policies and Restrictions--Segregated Accounts."
SEGREGATED ACCOUNTS. When the Fund enters into certain transactions that
involve obligations to make future payments to third parties, including the
purchase of securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis or reverse
repurchase agreements, the Fund will maintain with an approved custodian in a
segregated
3
<PAGE>
account cash or liquid securities, marked to market daily, in an amount at least
equal to the Fund's obligation or commitment under such transactions.
LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. The Fund is authorized to lend up to
33 1/3% of its total assets to broker-dealers or institutional investors that
Mitchell Hutchins deems qualified, but only when the borrower maintains
acceptable collateral with the Fund's custodian, marked to market daily, at
least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest.
Acceptable collateral is limited to cash, U.S. government securities and
irrevocable letters of credit that meet certain guidelines established by
Mitchell Hutchins. The Fund may reinvest cash collateral in money market
investments or other short-term liquid investments. In determining whether to
lend securities to a particular broker-dealer or institutional investor,
Mitchell Hutchins will consider, and during the period of the loan will monitor,
all relevant facts and circumstances, including the creditworthiness of the
borrower. The Fund will retain authority to terminate any of its loans at any
time. The Fund may pay reasonable fees in connection with a loan and may pay the
borrower or placing broker a negotiated portion of the interest earned on the
reinvestment of cash held as collateral. The Fund will receive amounts
equivalent to any interest or other distributions on the securities loaned. The
Fund will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise beneficial
rights, such as voting and subscription rights, when regaining such rights is
considered to be in its interest.
Pursuant to procedures adopted by the board governing the Fund's securities
lending program, PaineWebber has been retained to serve as lending agent for the
Fund. The board also has authorized the payment of fees (including fees
calculated as a percentage of invested cash collateral) to PaineWebber for these
services. The board periodically reviews all portfolio securities loan
transactions for which PaineWebber acted as lending agent.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF THE FUND
FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS. The following fundamental investment limitations
cannot be changed without the affirmative vote of the lesser of (1) more than
50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund or (2) 67% or more of the shares
present at a shareholders' meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares
are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy. If a percentage
restriction is adhered to at the time of an investment or transaction, a later
increase or decrease in percentage resulting from a change in values of
portfolio securities or amount of total assets will not be considered a
violation of any of the following limitations.
The Fund will not:
(1) purchase securities of any one issuer if, as a result, more than 5%
of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of that
issuer or the Fund would own or hold more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of that issuer, except that up to 25%
of the Fund's total assets may be invested without regard to this
limitation, and except that this limitation does not apply to
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies
and instrumentalities or to securities issued by other investment
companies.
The following interpretation applies to, but is not a part of, this
fundamental restriction: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities will
not be considered to have been issued by the same issuer by reason of
the securities having the same sponsor, and mortgage- and
asset-backed
4
<PAGE>
securities issued by a finance or other special purpose subsidiary
that are not guaranteed by the parent company will be considered to
be issued by a separate issuer from the parent company.
(2) purchase any security if, as a result of that purchase, 25% or more
of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of
issuers having their principal business activities in the same
industry, except that this limitation does not apply to securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or
instrumentalities or to municipal securities or to certificates of
deposit and bankers' acceptances of domestic branches of U.S. banks.
The following interpretations apply to, but are not a part of, this
fundamental restriction: (a) domestic and foreign banking will be
considered to be different industries; and (b) asset-backed
securities will be grouped in industries based upon their underlying
assets and not treated as constituting a single, separate industry.
(3) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and then not in
excess of 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets (including the amount
of the senior securities issued but reduced by any liabilities not
constituting senior securities) at the time of the issuance or
borrowing, except that the Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of
its total assets (not including the amount borrowed) for temporary
or emergency purposes.
(4) make loans, except through loans of portfolio securities or through
repurchase agreements, provided that for purposes of this
restriction, the acquisition of bonds, debentures, other debt
securities or instruments, or participations or other interests
therein and investments in government obligations, commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances or similar instruments
will not be considered the making of a loan.
The following interpretation applies to, but is not a part of, this
fundamental restriction: The Fund's investments in master notes,
funding agreements and similar instruments will not be considered to
be the making of a loan.
(5) engage in the business of underwriting securities of other issuers,
except to the extent that the Fund might be considered an
underwriter under the federal securities laws in connection with its
disposition of portfolio securities.
(6) purchase or sell real estate, except that investments in securities
of issuers that invest in real estate and investments in
mortgage-backed securities, mortgage participations or other
instruments supported by interests in real estate are not subject to
this limitation, and except that the Fund may exercise rights under
agreements relating to such securities, including the right to
enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by
reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated
in an orderly manner.
(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
owning securities or other instruments, but the Fund may purchase,
sell or enter into financial options and futures, forward and spot
currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts
or derivative instruments.
5
<PAGE>
NON-FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS. The following investment restrictions are not
fundamental and may be changed by the board without shareholder approval.
The Fund will not:
(1) purchase securities on margin, except for short-term credit
necessary for clearance of portfolio transactions and except that
the Fund may make margin deposits in connection with its use of
financial options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts,
swap transactions and other financial contracts or derivative
instruments.
(2) engage in short sales of securities or maintain a short position,
except that the Fund may (a) sell short "against the box" and (b)
maintain short positions in connection with its use of financial
options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap
transactions and other financial contracts or derivative
instruments.
(3) purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the
extent permitted by the 1940 Act and except that this limitation
does not apply to securities received or acquired as dividends,
through offers of exchange, or as a result of reorganization,
consolidation, or merger.
(4) purchase portfolio securities while borrowings in excess of 5% of
its total assets are outstanding.

** Mrs. Alexander, Mr. Bewkes and Ms. Farrell are "interested persons" of the
Corporation as defined in the 1940 Act by virtue of their positions with
Mitchell Hutchins, PaineWebber and/or PW Group.
The Corporation pays directors who are not "interested persons" of the
Corporation $1,000 annually for each series of the Corporation and $150 per
series for each separate board meeting and each meeting of a board committee
(other than committee meetings held on the same day as a board meeting). The
Corporation presently has three series and thus pays each director $3,000
annually, plus any additional amounts due for board or committee meetings. Each
chairman of the audit and contract review committees of individual funds within
the PaineWebber fund complex receives additional compensation aggregating
$15,000 annually from the relevant funds. All directors are reimbursed for any
expenses incurred in attending meetings. Directors and officers of the
Corporation own in the aggregate less than 1% of the Fund's shares. Because
PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins perform substantially all of the services
necessary for the operation of the Corporation and the Fund, the Corporation
requires no employees. No officer, director or employee of PaineWebber or
Mitchell Hutchins presently receives any compensation from the Corporation for
acting as a director or officer.

PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SECURITIES
The Fund's records as of July 31, 1998, did not indicate that any

aware of any shareholder who is the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the Fund's
shares.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATION ARRANGEMENTS. PaineWebber acts as
the Fund's investment adviser and administrator pursuant to a contract with the
Corporation dated March 23, 1989 ("Advisory Contract"). Under the Advisory
Contract, the Fund pays PaineWebber an annual fee, computed daily and paid
monthly, according to the following schedule:

</TABLE>
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998, June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996,
the Fund paid (or accrued) to PaineWebber fees totaling $16,593,019, $15,211,682
and $14,023,396, respectively, under the Advisory Contract.
12
<PAGE>
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the Fund did not pay fees to
PaineWebber for its services as lending agent because the Fund did not engage in
any securities lending activities. Prior to August 1, 1997, PaineWebber provided
certain services to the Fund not otherwise provided by its transfer agent.
Pursuant to an agreement between PaineWebber and the Fund relating to these
services, during the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998, June 30, 1997 and June
30, 1996, the Fund paid (or accrued) to PaineWebber $251,757, $2,692,218 and
$2,559,302, respectively. This agreement was reviewed annually by the board.
Effective August 1, 1997, PaineWebber provides transfer agency related services
to the Fund pursuant to a delegation of authority from PFPC Inc. and is
compensated for those services by PFPC Inc., not the Fund.
Under a contract with PaineWebber dated March 23, 1989 ("Mitchell Hutchins
Contract"), Mitchell Hutchins serves as the Fund's sub-adviser and
sub-administrator. Under the Mitchell Hutchins Contract, PaineWebber (not the
Fund) pays Mitchell Hutchins a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at an
annual rate of 20% of the fee paid by the Fund to PaineWebber under the Advisory
Contract. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998, June 30, 1997 and June 30,
1996, PaineWebber paid (or accrued) to Mitchell Hutchins fees of $3,318,604,
$3,042,336 and $2,804,67, respectively.
Under the terms of the Advisory Contract, the Fund bears all expenses
incurred in its operation that are not specifically assumed by PaineWebber.
General expenses of the Corporation not readily identifiable as belonging to the
Fund or to the Corporation's other series are allocated among series by or under
the direction of the board of directors in such manner as the board deems fair
and equitable. Expenses borne by the Fund include the following (or the Fund's
share of the following): (1) the cost (including brokerage commissions and other
transaction costs, if any) of securities purchased or sold by the Fund and any
losses incurred in connection therewith; (2) fees payable to and expenses
incurred on behalf of the Fund by PaineWebber; (3) organizational expenses; (4)
filing fees and expenses relating to the registration and qualification of Fund
shares under federal and state securities laws and maintaining such
registrations and qualifications; (5) fees and salaries payable to the directors
and officers who are not interested persons of the Corporation or PaineWebber;
(6) all expenses incurred in connection with the directors' services, including
travel expenses; (7) taxes (including any income or franchise taxes) and
governmental fees; (8) costs of any liability, uncollectible items of deposit
and other insurance or fidelity bonds; (9) any costs, expenses or losses arising
out of a liability of or claim for damages or other relief asserted against the
Corporation or the Fund for violation of any law; (10) legal, accounting and
auditing expenses, including legal fees of special counsel for those directors
who are not interested persons of the Corporation; (11) charges of custodians,
transfer agents and other agents; (12) expenses of setting in type and printing
prospectuses and statements of additional information and supplements thereto,
reports and statements to shareholders and proxy material for existing
shareholders and costs of mailing such materials to existing shareholders; (13)
any extraordinary expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel)
incurred by the Fund; (14) fees, voluntary assessments and other expenses
incurred in connection with membership in investment company organizations; (15)
50% of the cost of printing and mailing PaineWebber monthly statements; (16)
costs of mailing and tabulating proxies and costs of meetings of shareholders,
the board and any committees thereof; (17) the cost of investment company
literature and other publications provided to the directors and officers; and
(18) costs of mailing, stationery and communications equipment.
Under the Advisory and Mitchell Hutchins Contracts (collectively,
"Contracts"), PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins will not be liable for any error
of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection
with the performance of the Contracts, except a loss resulting from willful
13
<PAGE>
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of PaineWebber or
Mitchell Hutchins in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard of
its duties and obligations thereunder.
The Contracts are terminable with respect to the Fund at any time without
penalty by vote of the board or by vote of the holders of a majority of the
Fund's outstanding voting securities on 60 days' written notice to PaineWebber
or Mitchell Hutchins, as the case may be. The Advisory Contract is also
terminable without penalty by PaineWebber on 60 days' written notice to the
Corporation, and the Mitchell Hutchins Contract is terminable without penalty by
PaineWebber or Mitchell Hutchins on 60 days' written notice to the other party.
The Contracts terminate automatically upon their assignment, and the Mitchell
Hutchins Contract also automatically terminates upon the assignment of the
Advisory Contract.
The following table shows the approximate net assets as of July 31, 1998,
sorted by category of investment objective, of the investment companies as to
which Mitchell Hutchins serves as adviser or sub-adviser. An investment company

Mitchell Hutchins personnel may invest in securities for their own accounts
pursuant to a code of ethics that describes the fiduciary duty owed to
shareholders of the PaineWebber mutual funds and other Mitchell Hutchins'
advisory accounts by all Mitchell Hutchins' directors, officers and employees,
establishes procedures for personal investing and restricts certain
transactions. For example, employee accounts generally must be maintained at
PaineWebber, personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance, and
short-term trading and participation in initial public offerings generally are
prohibited. In addition, the code of ethics puts restrictions on the timing of
personal investing in relation to trades by PaineWebber mutual funds and other
Mitchell Hutchins advisory clients.
DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS. PaineWebber acts as the distributor of Fund
shares under a distribution contract with the Corporation dated July 7, 1993
("Distribution Contract"), which requires PaineWebber to use its best efforts,
consistent with its other business, to sell shares of the Fund. Shares of the
Fund are offered continuously. Payments by the Fund to compensate PaineWebber
for certain expenses incurred in connection with its activities in providing
certain shareholder and account maintenance services are authorized under the
Distribution Contract and made in accordance with a plan of distribution adopted
by the Corporation in the manner prescribed by Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act
("Plan").
Among other things, the Plan provides that (1) PaineWebber will submit to
the board at least quarterly, and the directors will review, reports regarding
all amounts expended under the Plan and the purposes for which such expenditures
were made, (2) the Plan will continue in effect only so long as it is approved
at least annually, and any material amendment thereto is approved, by the board,
including those directors who are not "interested persons" of the Corporation
and who have no direct or indirect financial
14
<PAGE>
interest in the operation of the Plan or any agreement related to the Plan,
acting in person at a meeting called for that purpose, (3) payments by the Fund
under the Plan shall not be materially increased without the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of the Fund's outstanding shares and (4) while the
Plan remains in effect, the selection and nomination of directors who are not
"interested persons" of the Corporation shall be committed to the discretion of
the directors who are not "interested persons" of the Corporation.
The Plan authorizes the Fund to pay PaineWebber a service fee, computed
daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of its average daily
net assets. The Fund currently pays service fees to Paine Webber at the annual
rate of 0.125% of average net assets, and any increase from the 0.125% annual
rate would require prior approval of the board.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, the Fund paid or accrued to
PaineWebber service fees of $4,006,886. For the same period, PaineWebber
estimates that it incurred expenses of $1,422,000, in servicing Fund
shareholders. PaineWebber estimates that these expenses were incurred as
follows: (a) allocated costs related to shareholder servicing--$298,000; and (b)
service fees to investment executives--$1,124,000.
"Allocated costs" include various internal costs allocated by PaineWebber to
its efforts at providing certain shareholder and account maintenance services.
These internal costs encompass office rent, salaries and other overhead expenses
of various PaineWebber departments and areas of operations.
In approving the continuance of the Plan, the board considered all features
of the distribution system for the Fund, including (a) PaineWebber's view that
the payment of service fees at the annual rate of 0.06% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund held in shareholder accounts serviced by Investment
Executives and correspondent firms was attractive to such Investment Executives
and correspondent firms and would result in greater growth of the Fund than
might otherwise be the case, (b) the extent to which Fund shareholders might
benefit from economies of scale resulting from growth in the Fund's assets and
shareholder account size and the potential for continued growth, (c) the
services provided to the Fund and its shareholders by PaineWebber pursuant to
the Distribution Contract, (d) PaineWebber's expenses and costs under the Plan
as described above and (e) the fact that the expense to the Fund of the Plan
could be offset if the Plan is successful by the lower advisory fee rates that
are triggered as assets reach higher levels.
The board also considered the benefits that would accrue to PaineWebber
under the Plan in that PaineWebber would receive service and advisory fees that
are calculated based upon a percentage of the average net assets of the Fund,
which fees would increase if the Plan is successful and the Fund attains and
maintains increased asset levels.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
The Fund purchases portfolio securities from dealers and underwriters as
well as from issuers. Securities are usually traded on a net basis with dealers
acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated commission. Prices
paid to dealers in principal transactions generally include a "spread," which is
the difference between the prices at which the dealer is willing to purchase and
sell a specific security at the time. When securities are purchased directly
from an issuer, no commissions or discounts are paid. When securities are
purchased in underwritten offerings, they include a fixed amount of compensation
to the underwriter.
15
<PAGE>
The Mitchell Hutchins Contract authorizes Mitchell Hutchins (with the
approval of the Corporation's board) to select brokers and dealers to execute
purchases and sales of the Fund's portfolio securities. The Contract directs
Mitchell Hutchins to use its best efforts to obtain the best available price and
most favorable execution with respect to all transactions for the Fund. To the
extent that the execution and price offered by more than one dealer are
comparable, Mitchell Hutchins may, in its discretion, effect transactions in
portfolio securities with dealers who provide the Fund with research, analysis,
advice and similar services. Although Mitchell Hutchins may receive certain
research or execution services in connection with these transactions, Mitchell
Hutchins will not purchase securities at a higher price or sell securities at a
lower price than would otherwise be paid if no weight was attributed to the
services provided by the executing dealer. Moreover, Mitchell Hutchins will not
enter into any explicit soft dollar arrangements relating to principal
transactions and will not receive in principal transactions the types of
services that could be purchased for hard dollars. Research services furnished
by the dealers through which or with which the Fund effects securities
transactions may be used by Mitchell Hutchins in advising other funds or
accounts and, conversely, research services furnished to Mitchell Hutchins in
connection with other funds or accounts that Mitchell Hutchins advises may be
used in advising the Fund. Information and research services received from
dealers will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the services required to be
performed by Mitchell Hutchins under the Mitchell Hutchins Contract. During its
past three fiscal years, the Fund has not paid any brokerage commissions;
therefore, it has not allocated any brokerage transactions for research,
analysis, advice and similar services.
Mitchell Hutchins may engage in agency transactions in over-the-counter
equity and debt securities in return for research and execution services. These
transactions are entered into only in compliance with procedures ensuring that
the transaction (including commissions) is at least as favorable as it would
have been if effected directly with a market-maker that did not provide research
or execution services. These procedures include Mitchell Hutchins receiving
multiple quotes from dealers before executing the transactions on an agency
basis.
Investment decisions for the Fund and for other investment accounts managed
by Mitchell Hutchins are made independently of each other in light of differing
considerations for the various accounts. However, the same investment decision
may occasionally be made for the Fund and one or more of such accounts. In such
cases, simultaneous transactions are inevitable. Purchases or sales are then
averaged as to price and allocated between the Fund and such other account(s) as
to amount according to a formula deemed equitable to the Fund and such
account(s). While in some cases this practice could have a detrimental effect
upon the price or value of the security as far as the Fund is concerned, or upon
its ability to complete its entire order, in other cases it is believed that
coordination and the ability to participate in volume transactions will be
beneficial to the Fund.
As of June 30, 1998, the Fund owned commercial paper and short-term
corporate obligations issued by the following persons who are regular
broker-dealers for the Fund: Bear Stearns Companies Incorporated--$180,011,395;
Goldman Sachs Group LP--$14,800,050; Merrill Lynch & Company Incorporated--
$26,073,004; Morgan Stanley, Dean Witter & Company--$124,889,994; Lehman
Brothers Holdings Incorporated--$191,913,118 and Credit Suisse First
Boston--$19,831,639.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING REDEMPTIONS
The Fund may suspend redemption privileges or postpone the date of payment
during any period (1) when the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is closed or
trading on the NYSE is restricted as
16
<PAGE>
determined by the SEC, (2) when an emergency exists, as defined by the SEC, that
makes it not reasonably practicable for the Fund to dispose of securities owned
by it or to determine fairly the market value of its assets or (3) as the SEC
may otherwise permit. The redemption price may be more or less than the
shareholder's cost, depending on the market value of the Fund's portfolio at the
time, although the Fund attempts to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00
per share.
VALUATION OF SHARES
The Fund's net asset value per share is determined by State Street Bank and
Trust Company ("State Street") as of 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on each Business
Day. As defined in the Prospectus, "Business Day" means any day on which State
Street's Boston offices, PaineWebber's New York City offices and the New York
offices of PaineWebber's bank, The Bank of New York, are all open for business.
One or more of these institutions will be closed on the observance of the
following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents'
Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day,
Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
The Fund values its portfolio securities in accordance with the amortized
cost method of valuation under Rule 2a-7 ("Rule") under the 1940 Act. To use
amortized cost to value its portfolio securities, the Fund must adhere to
certain conditions under the Rule relating to the Fund's investments, some of
which are discussed in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional
Information. Amortized cost is an approximation of market value, whereby the
difference between acquisition cost and value at maturity is amortized on a
straight-line basis over the remaining life of the instrument. The effect of
changes in the market value of a security as a result of fluctuating interest
rates is not taken into account, and thus the amortized cost method of valuation
may result in the value of a security being higher or lower than its actual
market value. If a large number of redemptions take place at a time when
interest rates have increased, the Fund might have to sell portfolio securities
prior to maturity and at a price that might not be desirable.
The board has established procedures for the purpose of maintaining a
constant net asset value of $1.00 per share, which include a review of the
extent of any deviation of net asset value per share, based on available market
quotations, from the $1.00 amortized cost per share. If that deviation exceeds
1/2 of 1% for the Fund, the board will promptly consider whether any action
should be initiated to eliminate or reduce material dilution or other unfair
results to shareholders. Such action may include redeeming shares in kind,
selling portfolio securities prior to maturity, reducing or withholding
dividends and utilizing a net asset value per share as determined by using
available market quotations. The Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of 90 days or less and except as otherwise indicated herein
will not purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than 13
months, will limit portfolio investments, including repurchase agreements, to
those U.S. dollar-denominated instruments that are of high quality and that
Mitchell Hutchins determines (pursuant to delegated authority from the board)
present minimal credit risks, and will comply with certain reporting and
recordkeeping procedures. There is no assurance that constant net asset value
per share will be maintained. If amortized cost ceases to represent fair value,
the board will take appropriate action.
In determining the approximate market value of portfolio investments, the
Fund may employ outside organizations, which may use a matrix or formula method
that takes into consideration market indices, matrices, yield curves and other
specific adjustments. This may result in the securities being valued at a
17
<PAGE>
price different from the price that would have been determined had the matrix or
formula method not been used.
TAXES
To continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company under
the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund must distribute to its shareholders for each
taxable year at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (consisting
generally of net investment income and net short-term capital gain, if any) and
must meet several additional requirements. Among these requirements are the
following: (1) the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income each
taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities
loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of securities and certain other
income; (2) at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, at least
50% of the value of its total assets must be represented by cash and cash items,
U.S. government securities and other securities, with these other securities
limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount that does not exceed 5% of
the value of the Fund's total assets; and (3) at the close of each quarter of
the Fund's taxable year, not more than 25% of the value of its total assets may
be invested in securities (other than U.S. government securities) of any one
issuer. If the Fund failed to qualify for treatment as a RIC for any taxable
year, it would be taxed as an ordinary corporation on its taxable income for
that year (even if that income was distributed to its shareholders).
CALCULATION OF YIELD
The Fund computes its yield and effective yield quotations using
standardized methods required by the SEC. The Fund from time to time advertises
(1) its current yield based on a recently ended seven-day period, computed by
determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a
hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share at the beginning
of the period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from that
shareholder account, dividing the difference by the value of the account at the
beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return, and then
multiplying the base period return by (365/7), with the resulting yield figure
carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent, and (2) its effective
yield based on the same seven-day period by compounding the base period return
by adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal to (365/7), and subtracting 1 from
the result, according to the following formula:
EFFECTIVE YIELD = [(BASE PERIOD RETURN + 1)to the power of 365/7] - 1
Yield may fluctuate daily and does not provide a basis for determining
future yields. Because the yield of the Fund fluctuates, it cannot be compared
with yields on savings accounts or other investment alternatives that provide an
agreed to or guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time. However, yield
information may be useful to an investor considering temporary investments in
money market instruments. In comparing the yield of one money market fund to
another, consideration should be given to each fund's investment policies,
including the types of investments made, the average maturity of the portfolio
securities and whether there are any special account charges that may reduce the
yield.
The Fund's yield and effective yield for the seven-day period ended June 30,
1998, were 4.87% and 4.98%, respectively.

OTHER INFORMATION. The Fund's performance data quoted in advertising and
other promotional materials ("Performance Advertisements") represent past
performance and are not intended to predict or indicate future results. The
return on an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. In Performance
Advertisements, the Fund may compare its yield with data published by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. for money funds ("Lipper"), CDA Investment
Technologies, Inc. ("CDA"), IBC/Donoghue's Money Market Fund Report
("Donoghue"), Wiesenberger Investment Companies Service ("Wiesenberger") or
Investment Company Data Inc. ("ICD"), or with the performance of recognized
stock and other indexes, including the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock
Price Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Merrill Lynch Municipal Bond
Indices, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index, the Lehman
Brothers Treasury Bond Index, the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond
Index, the Salomon Brothers World Government Bond Index and changes in the
Consumer Price Index as published by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Fund
also may refer in such materials to mutual fund performance rankings and other
data, such as comparative asset, expense and fee levels, published by Lipper,
CDA, Donoghue, Wiesenberger or ICD. Performance Advertisements also may refer to
discussions of the Fund and comparative mutual fund data and ratings reported in
independent periodicals, including THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, MONEY Magazine,
FORBES, BUSINESS WEEK, FINANCIAL WORLD, BARRON'S, FORTUNE, THE NEW YORK TIMES,
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, THE WASHINGTON POST and THE KIPLINGER LETTERS. Comparisons
in Performance Advertisements may be in graphic form.
The Fund may include discussions or illustrations of the effects of
compounding in Performance Advertisements. "Compounding" refers to the fact
that, if dividends on a Fund investment are reinvested by being paid in
additional Fund shares, any future income of the Fund would increase the value,
not only of the original Fund investment, but also of the additional Fund shares
received through reinvestment. As a result, the value of the Fund investment
would increase more quickly than if dividends had been paid in cash.
The Fund may also compare its performance with the performance of bank
certificates of deposit ("CDs") as measured by the CDA Certificate of Deposit
Index and the Bank Rate Monitor National Index and the averages of yields of CDs
of major banks published by Banxquotes-Registered Trademark- Money Markets. In
comparing the Fund's performance to CD performance, investors should keep in
mind that bank CDs are insured in whole or in part by an agency of the U.S.
government and offer fixed principal and fixed or variable rates of interest and
that bank CD yields may vary depending on the financial institution offering the
CD and prevailing interest rates. Fund shares are not insured or guaranteed by
the U.S. government and returns thereon will fluctuate. While the Fund seeks to
maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, there can be no assurance
that it will be able to do so.

Item 25. INDEMNIFICATION
Article Fourteenth of the Articles of Incorporation provides that the
directors and officers of the Registrant shall not be liable to the Registrant
or to any of its stockholders for monetary damages. Article Fourteenth also
provides that no amendment, alteration or repeal of the contents contained in
the preceding sentence or the adoption, alteration or amendment of any other
provision of the Articles or By-Laws inconsistent with Article Fourteenth shall
adversely affect any limitation of liability of any director or officer of the
Registrant with respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to
such amendment, alteration, repeal or adoption.
Section 10.01 of Article X of the Bylaws provides that the Registrant
shall indemnify its present and past directors, officers, employees and agents,
and any persons who are serving or have served at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, or enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 10.02 of Article X of the Bylaws further provides that the
Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or
was a director, officer or employee of the Registrant, or is or was serving at
the request of the Registrant as a director, officer or employee of a
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any
liability asserted against him or out of his or her status as such whether or
not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify him or her against such
liability.
Section 9 of the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract
provides that PaineWebber shall not be liable for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any loss suffered by Registrant in connection with the
matters to which the Contract relates except for a loss resulting from willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of PaineWebber in the performance of
its duties or from its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under
the Contract. Section 9 further provides that any person, even though also an
officer, partner, employee or agent of PaineWebber, who may be or become an
officer, director, employee or agent of Registrant shall be deemed, when
rendering services to the Registrant or acting with respect to any business of
the Registrant, to be rendering such service to or acting solely for the
Registrant and not as an officer, partner, employee, or agent or one under the
control or direction of PaineWebber even though paid by it.
Section 8 of the Sub-Advisory and Sub-Administration Contract provides
that Mitchell Hutchins will not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake
of law or for any loss suffered by PaineWebber or the Registrant or its
shareholders in connection with the performance of those Contracts, except a
loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its
part in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by it of its
obligations or duties under the Contracts.
Section 9 of the Distribution Contract provides that the Registrant
will indemnify PaineWebber and its officers, directors or controlling persons
against all liabilities arising from any alleged untrue statement of material
fact in the Registration Statement or from alleged omission to state in the
Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated in it or necessary
to make the statements in it, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, except insofar as liability arises from untrue
statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished by PaineWebber to the Registrant for use in the Registration
Statement; and provided that this indemnity agreement shall not protect any such
persons against liabilities arising by reason of their bad faith, gross
negligence or willful misfeasance; and shall not inure to the benefit of any
such persons unless a court of competent jurisdiction or controlling precedent
determines that such result is not against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933. Section 9 of the Distribution Contract also provides
that PaineWebber agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Registrant, its
officers and directors free and harmless of any claims arising out of any
alleged untrue statement or any alleged omission of material fact contained in
information furnished by PaineWebber for use in the Registration Statement or
arising out of
C-2
<PAGE>
an agreement between PaineWebber and any retail dealer, or arising out of
supplementary literature or advertising used by PaineWebber in connection
with the Contract.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 ("Act"), as amended, may be provided to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing
provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding or payment pursuant to any insurance policy)
is asserted against the Registrant by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ARTICLES SUPPLEMENTARY
TO
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
OF
PAINEWEBBER RMA MONEY FUND, INC.
FIRST: The Board of Directors of PaineWebber RMA Money Fund, Inc., a
Maryland corporation ("Corporation"), by action on September 11, 1997, has
increased the aggregate number of shares of common stock that the Corporation
has authority to issue from a total of thirty billion (30,000,000,000) shares to
a total of sixty billion (60,000,000,000) shares. Of the thirty billion
(30,000,000,000) shares of common stock that the Corporation previously was
authorized to issue, fifteen billion (15,000,000,000) shares were classified as
the Money Market Portfolio series, five billion (5,000,000,000) shares were
classified as the U.S. Government Portfolio series and ten billion
(10,000,000,000) shares were classified as the PaineWebber Retirement Money Fund
series. Of the sixty billion shares of common stock that the Corporation now is
authorized to issue, thirty billion (30,000,000,000) shares are classified as
the Money Market Portfolio series, ten billion (10,000,000,000) shares are
classified as the U.S. Government Portfolio series and twenty billion
(20,000,000,000) shares are classified as the PaineWebber Retirement Money Fund
series. The par value of the shares of common stock remains 1/10 of one cent
($0.001) per share. Immediately before the increase in the aggregate number of
authorized shares, the aggregate par value of all of the shares was $30,000,000;
as increased, the aggregate par value of all of the shares is $60,000,000.
SECOND: The Corporation is registered as an open-end company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
THIRD: The total number of shares of capital stock that the Corporation
has authority to issue has been increased by the Board of Directors in
accordance with Section 2-105(c) of the Maryland General Corporation Law.
IN WITNESS HEREOF, the undersigned Vice President and Secretary of
PaineWebber RMA Money Fund, Inc., hereby executes these articles Supplementary
on behalf of the Corporation and hereby acknowledges these Articles
Supplementary to be the act of the Corporation and further states under the
penalties of perjury that, to the best of her knowledge, information and belief,

of the board of directors. Special meetings of the stockholders shall be called
by the secretary upon the written request of the holders of shares entitled to
not less than 25% of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting, provided
that (a) such request shall state the purposes of such meeting and the matters
proposed to be acted on, and (b) the stockholders requesting such meeting shall
have paid to the Corporation the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and
mailing the notice thereof, which the secretary shall determine and specify to
such stockholders. No special meeting shall be called upon the request of the

<PAGE>
months, unless requested by holders of a majority of all shares entitled to

The secretary or an assistant secretary shall cause notice of the place,

entitled to vote at such meeting, at his address as it appears on the records of
the Corporation at the time of such mailing. Notice shall be deemed to be given
when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholders as
aforesaid. Notice of any stockholders' meeting need not be given to any
stockholder who shall sign a written waiver of such notice whether before or
after the time of such meeting, which waiver shall be filed with the record of
such meeting, or to any stockholder who shall attend such meeting in person or
by proxy. Notice of adjournment of a stockholders' meeting to another time or
place need not be given, if such time and place are announced at the meeting.
Irregularities in the notice of any meeting to, or the nonreceipt of any such
notice by, any of the stockholders shall not invalidate any action otherwise

Section 2.05. VOTING - IN GENERAL:
At each stockholders' meeting each stockholder shall be entitled to one
vote for each share and a fractional vote for each fraction of a share of stock
of the Corporation validly issued and outstanding and standing in his name on

8.05 of Article VIII hereof, either in person or by proxy appointed by
instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder or his or her duly
authorized attorney, except that no shares held by the Corporation shall be

of Incorporation, these By-Laws or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, all matters shall be decided by a vote of the majority of the shares of
stock of the Corporation outstanding and entitled to vote, validly cast at a
meeting at which a quorum is present. The vote upon any question shall be by
ballot whenever requested by any person entitled to vote, but, unless such a
request is made, voting may be conducted in any way approved by the meeting. At

vote, in person or by proxy, each share of stock and fraction of a share of
stock standing in his name on the books of the Corporation on such record date
and outstanding at the time of the meeting. If no record date has been fixed,

means permitted by the laws of the State of Maryland) or (2) such electronic,
telephonic, computerized or other alternative means as may be approved by a
resolution adopted by the Directors. Proxies shall be delivered to the secretary
of the Corporation or person acting as secretary of the meeting before being
voted, who shall decide all questions concerning qualification of voters, the
validity of proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes. If inspectors of
election have been appointed by the chairman of the meeting, such inspectors
shall decide all such questions. A proxy with respect to stock held in the name
of two or more persons shall be valid if executed by one of them unless at or
prior to exercise of such proxy the Corporation receives from any one of them a
specific written notice to the contrary and a copy of the instrument or order
that so provides. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a
stockholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise.

of whom has been a stockholder of record of the Corporation for more than six
months next preceding such request, who owns in the aggregate 5% or more of the
outstanding capital stock of the Corporation, may submit (unless the Corporation
at the time of the request maintains a duplicate stock ledger at its principal
office in Maryland) a written request to any officer of the Corporation or its
resident agent in Maryland for a list of the stockholders of the Corporation.
Within 20 days after such a request, there shall be prepared and filed at the
Corporation's principal office in Maryland a list containing the names and
addresses of all stockholders of the Corporation and the number of shares of
each class held by each stockholder, certified as correct by an officer of the
Corporation, by its stock transfer agent, or by its registrar.
Section 2.11. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING:

acting as aforesaid or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as

votes validly cast.
Section 3.05. VACANCIES AND NEWLY CREATED DIRECTORSHIPS:
If any vacancies shall occur in the board of directors by reason of death,
resignation, removal or otherwise, or if the authorized number of directors
shall be increased, the directors then in office shall continue to act, and such
vacancies (if not previously filled by the stockholders) may be filled by a
majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, except
that a newly created directorship may be filled only by a majority vote of the
entire board of directors, provided that in either case immediately after
filling such vacancy, at least two-thirds of the directors then holding office
shall have been elected to such office by the stockholders of the Corporation.
In the event that at any time, other than the time preceding the first
stockholders' meeting, less than a majority of the directors of the Corporation
holding office at that time were so elected by the stockholders, a meeting of
the stockholders shall be held promptly and in any event within 60 days for the
purpose of electing directors to fill any existing vacancies in the board of
directors unless the Securities and Exchange Commission shall by order extend
such period.

applicable provisions of the Article FIFTH of the Articles of Incorporation.
(b) The board of directors may prescribe from time to time that dividends
declared may be payable at the election of any of the stockholders (exercisable
before of after the declaration of the dividend), either in cash or in shares of
the Corporation, provided that the sum of the cash dividend actually paid to any
stockholder and the asset value of the shares received (determined as of such
time as the board of directors shall have prescribed, pursuant to Section 1.02
or Article SEVENTH of the Articles of Incorporation, with respect to shares sold
on the date of such election) shall not exceed the full amount of cash to which
the stockholder would be entitled if he elected to receive only cash.
(c) The board of directors shall cause to be accompanied by a written
statement any dividend payment wholly or partly from any source other than:
(i) the Corporation's accumulated undistributed net income (determined in
accordance with good accounting practice and the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission then in effect) and not
including profits or losses realized upon the sale of securities or
other properties; or
(ii) the Corporation's net income so determined for the current or

of 1940, as amended, members of the board of directors or any committee
designated thereby may participate in a meeting of such board or committee by
means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of
which all persons
6

participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time, and
participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting.
Section 3.10. SPECIAL MEETINGS:
Special meetings of the board of directors shall be held whenever called by
the chairman of the board, the president (or, in the absence or disability of
the president, by any vice president), the treasurer, or two or more directors,

respective notices or waivers of notice of such meetings.

to each director at his residence or regular place of business at least three
days before the day on which the special meeting is to be held or caused to be
delivered to him personally or to be transmitted to him by telegraph, cable or
wireless at least one day before the meeting.
Section 3.12. WAIVER OF NOTICE:
No notice of any meeting need be given to any director who attends such
meeting in person or to any director who waives notice of such meeting in
writing (which waiver shall be filed with the records of such meeting), whether

transaction of business, provided that there shall be present no fewer than two
directors. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the directors present may
adjourn the meeting, from time to time, until a quorum shall be present. The
action of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is
present shall be the action of the board of directors unless the concurrence of
a greater proportion is required for such action by law, by the Articles of
Incorporation or by these By-Laws.
Section 3.14. COMPENSATION:
Each director may receive such remuneration for his services as shall be
fixed from time to time by resolution of the board of directors.
Section 3.15. ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING:

amended, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the
board of directors or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if a

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATION CONTRACT
Contract made as of March 23, 1989, between PAINEWEBBER RMA MONEY FUND,
INC., a Maryland corporation ("Corporation"), and PAINEWEBBER INCORPORATED
("PaineWebber"), a Delaware corporation registered as a broker-dealer under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act"), and as an investment
adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.
WHEREAS the Corporation is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company, and
offers for public sale distinct series of shares of common stock, each
corresponding to a distinct portfolio ("Series"); and
WHEREAS the Corporation desires to retain PaineWebber as investment adviser
and administrator to furnish certain administrative, investment advisory and
portfolio management services to the Corporation and each Series as now exists
and as hereafter may be established, and PaineWebber is willing to furnish such
services;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein contained, it is agreed between the parties hereto as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT. The Corporation hereby appoints PaineWebber as
investment adviser and administrator for each Series for the period and on the

purchase and sell portfolio securities to and from brokers and dealers who
provide the Series with research, analysis, advice and similar services, and
PaineWebber may pay to those brokers and dealers, in return for research and
analysis, a higher commission or spread than may be charged by other brokers and
dealers, subject to PaineWebber's determining in good faith that such commission
or spread is reasonable in terms either of the particular transaction or of the
overall responsibility of PaineWebber to such Series and its other clients and
that the total commissions or spreads paid by such Series will be reasonable in
relation to the benefits to such Series over the long term. In no instance will
portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to PaineWebber, or any affiliated
person thereof, except in accordance with the federal securities laws and the

Whenever PaineWebber simultaneously places orders to purchase or sell the
same security on behalf of a Series and one or more other accounts advised by

such accounts in a manner believed to be equitable to each account. The
Corporation recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect
the results obtained for the Series.
(c) PaineWebber will oversee the maintenance of all books and records with
respect to the securities transactions of each Series, and will furnish the
Board with such periodic and special reports as the Board reasonably may
request. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act,

Corporation and each Series.

corporate, administrative and clerical personnel (including officers of the
Corporation) and services as are reasonably deemed necessary or advisable by the

Exhibit No. 4(b)
SUB-ADVISORY AND SUB-ADMINISTRATION CONTRACT
Contract made as of March 23, 1989, between PAINEWEBBER INCORPORATED
("PaineWebber"), a Delaware corporation registered as a broker/dealer under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act") and as an investment
adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended ("Advisers Act"),
and MITCHELL HUTCHINS ASSET MANAGEMENT INC. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), a Delaware
corporation registered as a broker/dealer under the 1934 Act and as an
investment adviser under the Advisers Act.
WHEREAS PaineWebber has entered into an Investment Advisory and
Administration Contract dated March 1, 1989 ("Advisory Contract") with
PaineWebber RMA Money Fund, Inc. ("Corporation"), an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended ("1940 Act"), which offers for public sale distinct series of shares of
common stock ("Series"), each corresponding to a distinct portfolio; and
WHEREAS under the Advisory Contract PaineWebber has agreed to provide
certain investment advisory and administrative services to the Series as now
exist and as hereafter may be established; and
WHEREAS the Advisory Contract authorizes PaineWebber to delegate certain of
its duties as investment adviser and administrator under the Advisory Contract
to a sub-adviser or sub-administrator; and
WHEREAS PaineWebber wishes to retain Mitchell Hutchins as sub-adviser and
sub-administrator to provide certain investment advisory and administrative
services to PaineWebber and each Series, and Mitchell Hutchins is willing to
render such services as described herein upon the terms set forth below;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained herein, it is agreed between the parties as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT. PaineWebber hereby appoints Mitchell Hutchins as its
sub-adviser and sub-administrator with respect to each Series and Mitchell
Hutchins accepts such appointment and agrees that it will furnish the services
set forth in paragraph 2 below.
2. SERVICES AND DUTIES OF MITCHELL HUTCHINS.
(a) Subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors ("Board") and
PaineWebber, Mitchell Hutchins will provide a continuous investment program for
each Series including investment research and management with respect to all
securities, investments and cash equivalents held in the portfolio of each
Series. Mitchell Hutchins will determine from time to time what securities and
other investments will be purchased, retained or sold by each Series.
(b) Mitchell Hutchins agrees that in placing orders with brokers and
dealers, it will attempt to obtain the best net result in terms of price and
execution; provided that, on, behalf of any Series, Mitchell Hutchins may, in
its discretion, purchase and sell portfolio securities to and
<PAGE>
from brokers and dealers who provide the Series with research, analysis,
advice and similar services, and Mitchell Hutchins may pay to those brokers
and dealers, in return for research and analysis, a higher commission or
spread than may be charged by other brokers and dealers, subject to Mitchell
Hutchins' determining in good faith that such commission or spread is
reasonable in terms either of the particular transaction or of the overall
responsibility of Mitchell Hutchins to such Series and its other clients and
that the total commissions or spreads paid by such Series will be reasonable
in relation to the benefits to such Series over the long term. In no instance
will portfolio securities be purchased from or sold to PaineWebber, Mitchell
Hutchins or any affiliated person thereof, except in accordance with the
federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Whenever
Mitchell Hutchins simultaneously places orders to purchase or sell the same
security on behalf of a Series and one or more other accounts advised by
Mitchell Hutchins, such orders will be allocated as to price and amount among
all such accounts in a manner believed to be equitable to each account. The
Corporation recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect
the results obtained for a Series.
(c) Mitchell Hutchins will oversee the maintenance of all books and
records with respect to the securities transactions of each Series and will
furnish the Board with such periodic and special reports as PaineWebber or the
Board reasonably may request. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3
under the 1940 Act, Mitchell Hutchins hereby agrees that all records which it
maintains for the Corporation are the property of the Corporation, agrees to
preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act any records
which it maintains for the Corporation and which are required to be maintained
by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act, and further agrees to surrender promptly to
the Corporation any records which it maintains for the Corporation upon request
by the Corporation.
(d) Mitchell Hutchins will oversee the computation of the net asset value
and net income of each Series as described in the currently effective
registration statement of the Corporation under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and 1940 Act and any supplements thereto ("Registration Statement") or
as more frequently requested by PaineWebber or the Board.
(e) Mitchell Hutchins will assist in administering the affairs of the
Corporation and each Series, subject to the supervision of the Board and
PaineWebber, and further subject to the following understandings:
(i) Mitchell Hutchins will supervise all aspects of the operation
of the Corporation and each Series except as hereinafter set forth; provided,
however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve or deprive the
Board of its responsibility for and control of the conduct of affairs of the
Corporation and each Series.
(ii) Mitchell Hutchins will provide the Corporation and each Series
with such administrative and clerical personnel (including officers of the
Corporation) as are reasonably deemed necessary or advisable by the Board and
PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins will pay the salaries of all such personnel.
(iii) Mitchell Hutchins will provide the Corporation and each Series
with such administrative and clerical services as are reasonably deemed
necessary or advisable by the
2
<PAGE>
Board and PaineWebber, including the maintenance of certain of the books and
records of the Corporation and each Series.
(iv) Mitchell Hutchins will arrange, but not pay for, the periodic
preparation, updating, filing and dissemination (as applicable) of the
Corporation's Registration Statement, proxy material, tax returns and reports to
shareholders of each Series, the Securities and Exchange Commission and other
appropriate federal or state regulatory authorities.
(v) Mitchell Hutchins will provide the Corporation and each Series
with, or obtain for it, adequate office space and all necessary office equipment
and services, including telephone service, heat, utilities, stationery supplies
and similar items.
3. DUTIES RETAINED BY PAINEWEBBER. PaineWebber will continue to provide
to the Board and each Series the services described in subparagraphs 3(e), (f)
and (g) of the Advisory Contract.
4. FURTHER DUTIES. In all matters relating to the performance of this
Contract, Mitchell Hutchins will act in conformity with the Articles of
Incorporation, By-Laws and Registration Statement of the Corporation and with
the instructions and directions of the Board and PaineWebber, and will comply
with the requirements of the 1940 Act, the rules thereunder, and all other
applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
5. SERVICES NOT EXCLUSIVE. The services furnished by Mitchell Hutchins
hereunder are not to be deemed to be exclusive, and Mitchell Hutchins shall be
free to furnish similar services to others so long as its services under this
Contract are not impaired thereby. Nothing in this Contract shall limit or
restrict the right of any director, officer or employee of Mitchell Hutchins,
who may also be a director, officer or employee of the Corporation, to engage in
any other business or to devote his or her time and attention in part to the
management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature
or a dissimilar nature.
6. EXPENSES. During the term of this Contract, Mitchell Hutchins will
pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its services under this
Contract.
7. COMPENSATION. For the services provided and expenses assumed by
Mitchell Hutchins pursuant to this Contract with respect to each Series,
PaineWebber will pay to Mitchell Hutchins a fee equal to 20% of the fee received
by PaineWebber from the Corporation pursuant to the Advisory Contract with
respect to such Series, such compensation to be paid monthly.

not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss
suffered by PaineWebber or the Corporation or the shareholders of any Series in
connection with the performance of this Contract, except a loss resulting from
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the
performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations or
duties under this Contract. Any person, even though also an officer, director,

director, employee or agent of the Corporation shall be deemed, when rendering
services to any Series or the Corporation or acting
3

with respect to any business of such Series or the Corporation, to be
rendering such services to or acting solely for the Series or the Corporation
and not as an officer, director, employee, or agent or one under the control
or direction of Mitchell Hutchins even though paid by it.
9. DURATION AND TERMINATION.
(a) This Contract will become effective upon the date here above written
provided that, with respect to any Series, this Contract shall not take effect
unless it has first been approved (i) by a vote of a majority of those directors
of the Corporation who are not parties to this Contract or interested persons of
any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval, and (ii) by vote of a majority of that Series' outstanding voting
securities.

by vote of the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of such Series on sixty days' written notice to Mitchell Hutchins and

shall in no way affect the continued validity of this Contract or the
performance thereunder with respect to any other Series. This Contract will
automatically terminate in the event of its assignment and will automatically
terminate upon termination of the Advisory Contract.

the laws of the State of Delaware and the 1940 Act. To the extent that the
applicable laws of the State of Delaware conflict with the applicable provisions
of the 1940 Act, the latter shall control.

convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the
provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect. If any

hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive and PaineWebber shall be free to
furnish similar services to others so long as its services under this Contract

(c) As compensation for its service activities under this Contract with
respect to Series other than the Money Market Portfolio, PaineWebber shall
receive from the Fund a fee at the rate and under the terms and conditions of
the Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act ("Plan")
adopted by the Fund with respect to such Series, as such Plan is amended from
time to time, and subject to any further limitations on such fee as the Board
may impose.

this Contract to such dealers as PaineWebber may from time to time determine.
6. DUTIES OF THE FUND.
(a) The Fund reserves the right at any time to withdraw offering Shares of
any or all Series by written notice to PaineWebber at its principal office.
(b) The Fund shall determine in its sole discretion whether certificates
shall be issued with respect to the Shares. If the Fund has determined that
certificates shall be issued, the Fund will not cause certificates representing
Shares to be issued unless so requested by shareholders. If such request is
transmitted by PaineWebber, the Fund will cause certificates evidencing Shares
to be issued in such names and denominations as PaineWebber shall from time to
time direct.
(c) The Fund shall keep PaineWebber fully informed of its affairs and
shall make available to PaineWebber copies of all information, financial
statements, and other papers which PaineWebber may reasonably request for use in
connection with the distribution of Shares, including, without limitation,
certified copies of any financial statements prepared for the Fund by its
independent public accountant and such reasonable number of copies of the most
current prospectus, statement of additional information, and annual and interim

including payment of the related filing fee, as may be necessary to register
Shares of each Series under the 1933 Act to
-3-
<PAGE>
the end that there will be available for sale such number of Shares as
PaineWebber may be expected to sell. The Fund agrees to file, from time to
time, such amendments, reports, and other documents as may be necessary in
order that there will be no untrue statement of a material fact in the
Registration Statement, nor any omission of a material fact which omission
would make the statements therein misleading.
(e) The Fund shall use its best efforts to qualify and maintain the
qualification of an appropriate number of Shares of each Series for sale under
the securities laws of such states or other jurisdictions as PaineWebber and the
Fund may approve, and, if necessary or appropriate in connection therewith, to
qualify and maintain the qualification of the Fund as a broker or dealer in such
jurisdictions; provided that the Fund shall not be required to amend its
Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws to comply with the laws of any
jurisdiction, to maintain an office in any jurisdiction, to change the terms of
the offering of the Shares in any jurisdiction from the terms set forth in its
Registration Statement, to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction,
or to consent to service of process in any jurisdiction other than with respect
to claims arising out of the offering of the Shares. PaineWebber shall furnish
such information and other material relating to its affairs and activities as
may be required by the Fund in connection with such qualifications.
7. EXPENSES OF THE FUND. The Fund shall bear all costs and expenses of
registering the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission and state and
other regulatory bodies, and shall assume expenses related to communications
with shareholders of each Series, including (i) fees and disbursements of its
counsel and independent public accountant; (ii) the preparation, filing and
printing of registration statements and/or prospectuses or statements of
additional information required under the federal securities laws; (iii) the
preparation and mailing of annual and interim reports, prospectuses, statements
of additional information and proxy materials to shareholders; and (iv) the
qualifications of Shares for sale and of the Fund as a broker or dealer under
the securities laws of such jurisdictions as shall be selected by the Fund and
PaineWebber pursuant to Paragraph 6(e) hereof, and the costs and expenses
payable to each such jurisdiction for continuing qualification therein.
8. EXPENSES OF PAINEWEBBER. PaineWebber shall bear all costs and
expenses of (i) preparing, printing and distributing any materials not prepared
by the Fund and other materials used by PaineWebber in connection with the sale
of Shares under this Contract, including the additional cost of printing copies
of prospectuses, statements of additional information, and annual and interim
shareholder reports other than copies thereof required for distribution to
existing shareholders or for filing with any federal or state securities
authorities; (ii) any expenses of advertising incurred by PaineWebber in
connection with such offering; (iii) the expenses of registration or
qualification of PaineWebber as a broker or dealer under federal or state laws
and the expenses of continuing such registration or qualification; and (iv) all

9. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Fund agrees to indemnify, defend and hold PaineWebber, its
officers and directors, and any person who controls PaineWebber within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, free and harmless from and against any
and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including the cost of
investigating or defending such claims, demands or liabilities and any counsel
fees incurred in connection therewith) which PaineWebber, its officers,
directors or any such controlling person may incur under the 1933 Act, or under
common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon any alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or arising
out of or based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact required to
be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, except insofar as such claims, demands, liabilities or
expenses arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing by PaineWebber to the Fund for use in the
Registration Statement; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall
not inure to the benefit of any person who is also an officer or director of the
Fund or who controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act,
unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine, or it shall have been
determined by controlling precedent, that such result would not be against
public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act; and further provided, that in no
event shall anything contained herein be so construed as to protect PaineWebber
against any liability to the Fund or to the shareholders of any Series to which
PaineWebber would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its
reckless disregard of its obligations under this Contract. The Fund shall not
be liable to PaineWebber under this indemnity agreement with respect to any
claim made against PaineWebber or any person indemnified unless PaineWebber or
other such person shall have notified the Fund in writing of the claim within a
reasonable time after the summons or other first written notification giving
information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon PaineWebber
or such other person (or after PaineWebber or the person shall have received
notice of service on any designated agent). However, failure to notify the Fund
of any claim shall not relieve the Fund from any liability which it may have to
PaineWebber or any person against whom such action is brought otherwise than on
account of this indemnity agreement. The Fund shall be entitled to participate
at its own expense in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of
any suit brought to enforce any claims subject to this indemnity agreement. If
the Fund elects to assume the defense of any such claim, the defense shall be
conducted by counsel chosen by the Fund and satisfactory to indemnified
defendants in the suit whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In
the event that the Fund elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain
counsel, the indemnified defendants shall bear the fees and expenses of any
additional counsel retained by them. If the Fund does not elect to assume the
defense of a suit, it will reimburse the indemnified defendants for the
reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified
defendants. The Fund agrees to notify PaineWebber promptly of the commencement
of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers or directors
in connection with the issuance or sale of any of its Shares.
-5-
<PAGE>
(b) PaineWebber shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake
of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the matters to
which this Contract relates (including any loss arising out of the receipt by
PaineWebber of inadequate consideration in connection with an order to purchase
Shares whether in the form of fraudulent check, draft or wire; a check returned
for insufficient funds; or any other inadequate consideration (hereinafter
"Check Loss")), except a loss resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith
or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or from
reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under this Contract;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Fund shall not be liable for Check Loss resulting
from willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on the part of PaineWebber.
(c) PaineWebber agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the Fund, its
officers and directors and any person who controls the Fund within the meaning

be subrogated to the rights of the Custodian with respect to
any claim against the Securities System or any other person
which the Custodian may have as a consequence of any such loss
or damage if and to the extent that the Fund has not been made
whole for any such loss or damage.
2.13 OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATES FOR TAX PURPOSES. The Custodian shall execute
ownership and other certificates and affidavits for all federal and
state tax purposes in connection with receipt of income or other
payments with respect to securities of the Fund held by it and in
connection with transfers of securities.

hereunder, cause to be promptly executed by the registered holder of
such securities, if the securities are registered otherwise than in the
name of the Fund or a nominee of the Fund, all proxies, without

shall promptly deliver to the Fund such proxies, all proxy soliciting
materials and all notices relating to such securities.
2.15 COMMUNICATIONS RELATING TO FUND PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. The Custodian
shall transmit promptly to the Fund all written information (including,
without limitation, pendency of calls and maturities of securities and

<PAGE>
written information received by the Custodian from issuers of

his agents) making the tender or exchange offer. If the Fund desires to
take action with respect to any tender offer, exchange offer or any
other similar transaction, the Fund shall notify the Custodian at least
three business days prior to the date on which the Custodian is to take
such action.
2.16 PROPER INSTRUCTIONS. Proper Instructions as used throughout this
Article 2 means a writing signed by one or more person or persons as the
Fund shall have from time to time authorized. Each such writing shall
set forth the specific transaction or type of transaction involved,
including a specific statement of the purpose for which such action is
requested. Oral instructions will be considered Proper Instructions if
the Custodian reasonably believes them to have been given by a person
authorized in writing to give oral instructions with respect to the
transaction involved. The Fund shall cause all oral instructions to be
confirmed in writing. Upon receipt of a certificate of the Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary as to the authorization by the Directors of the

particular Securities System and the receipt of an annual certificate of the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary that the Directors have reviewed the use by
the Fund of such Securities System, as required in each case by Rule 17f-4 under

event at the direction of an appropriate regulatory agency or court of competent
jurisdiction.

such compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination and shall
likewise reimburse the Custodian for its costs, expenses and disbursements as
contemplated by this Contract.

Fund, the Custodian shall, upon termination, deliver to such successor custodian
at the office of the Custodian, duly endorsed and in the form for transfer, all
securities, funds and other properties then held by it hereunder.
If no such successor custodian shall be appointed, the Custodian shall,
in like manner, upon receipt of a certified copy of a vote of the Directors of
the Fund, deliver at the office of the Custodian such securities, funds and
other properties in accordance with such vote.
In the event that no written order designating a successor custodian or
certified copy of a vote of the Directors shall have been delivered to the
Custodian on or before the date when such termination shall become effective,
then the Custodian shall have the right to deliver to a bank or trust company,
which is a "bank" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, doing
business in Boston, Massachusetts, of its own selection, having an aggregate

of not less than $25,000,000, all securities, funds and other properties held by
the Custodian and all instruments held by the Custodian relative thereto held by
it under this Contract. Thereafter, such bank or trust company shall be the
successor of the Custodian under this Contract.
In the event that securities, funds and other properties remain in the
possession of the Custodian after the date of termination hereof owing to
failure of the Fund to procure the certified copy of vote referred to or of the
Directors to appoint a successor custodian, the Custodian shall be entitled to
fair compensation for its services during such period as the
-20-
<PAGE>
Custodian retains possession of such securities, funds and other properties
and the provisions of this Contract relating to the duties and obligations of
the Custodian shall remain in full force and effect.
11. INTERPRETIVE AND ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
In connection with the operation of this Contract, the Custodian and the
Fund may from time to time agree on such provisions interpretive of or in
addition to the provisions of this Contract as may in their joint opinion be
consistent with the general tenor of this Contract. Any such interpretive or
additional provisions shall be in a writing signed by both parties and shall be
annexed hereto, PROVIDED that no such interpretive or additional provisions
shall contravene any applicable federal or state regulations or any provision of
the Articles of Incorporation of the Fund. No interpretive or additional
provisions made as provided in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be an
amendment of this Contract.
12. ADDITIONAL FUNDS
In the event that the Fund establishes one or more series of Shares in
addition to the Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio with
respect to which it desires to have the Custodian render services as custodian
under the terms hereof, it shall so notify the Custodian in writing, and if the
Custodian agrees in writing to provide such services, such series of Shares
shall become a Fund hereunder.

the Fund's assets. This Contract may not be assigned by the Custodian except as
expressly provided for in Section 10 hereof, without the prior written consent
of the Fund.

Written Instructions it receives from the Fund or from counsel and which PFPC
believes, in good faith, to be consistent with those directions, advice or Oral
Instructions or Written Instructions. Nothing in this section shall
4
<PAGE>
be construed so as to impose an obligation upon PFPC (i) to seek such
directions, advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions, or (ii) to
act in accordance with such directions, advice or Oral Instructions or
Written Instructions unless, under the terms of other provisions of this
Agreement, the same is a condition of PFPC's properly taking or not taking
such action. Nothing in this subsection shall excuse PFPC when an action or
omission on the part of PFPC constitutes willful misfeasance, bad faith,
negligence or reckless disregard by PFPC of any duties, obligations or
responsibilities set forth in this Agreement.

accurate form all books and records necessary for it to serve as transfer agent,

Fund, any agent or person designated by the Fund or any regulatory agency
having authority over the Fund.

the Fund and information relating to the Fund and its shareholders (past,
present and future), its investment adviser and its principal underwriter,
unless the release of such records or information is otherwise consented to, in
writing, by the Fund prior to its release. The Fund agrees that such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where PFPC may be
exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings or when required to divulge
such information or records to duly constituted authorities.

information is made available to such accountants for the expression of their
opinion, as required by the Fund.
10. DISASTER RECOVERY. PFPC shall enter into and shall maintain in
effect with appropriate parties one or more agreements making reasonable
provisions for periodic backup of computer files and data with respect to the
Fund and emergency use of electronic data processing equipment. In the event of
equipment failures, PFPC shall, at no additional expense to the Fund, take
reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions. PFPC shall have no
liability with respect to the loss of data or service interruptions caused by
equipment failure, provided such loss or interruption is not caused by PFPC's
own willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its
duties or obligations under this Agreement and provided further that PFPC has
complied with the provisions of this paragraph 10.
6
<PAGE>
11. COMPENSATION. As compensation for services rendered by PFPC during
the term of this Agreement, the Fund will pay to PFPC a fee or fees as may be
agreed to from time to time in writing by the Fund and PFPC.
12. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless PFPC and its
affiliates from all taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, penalties, claims and
liabilities (including, without limitation, liabilities arising under the
Securities Laws and any state and foreign securities and blue sky laws, and
amendments thereto), and expenses, including (without limitation) reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements, arising directly or indirectly from (i) any
action or omission to act which PFPC takes (a) at the request or on the
direction of or in reliance on the advice of the Fund or (b) upon Oral
Instructions or Written Instructions or (ii) the acceptance, processing and/or
negotiation of checks or other methods utilized for the purchase of Shares.
Neither PFPC, nor any of its affiliates, shall be indemnified against any
liability (or any expenses incident to such liability) arising out of PFPC's or
its affiliates' own willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless
disregard of its duties and obligations under this Agreement. The Fund's
liability to PFPC for PFPC's acceptance, processing and/or negotiation of checks
or other methods utilized for the purchase of Shares shall be limited to the
extent of the Fund's policy(ies) of insurance that provide for coverage of such
liability, and the Fund's insurance coverage shall take precedence.
(b) PFPC agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund from all taxes,
charges, expenses, assessments, penalties, claims and liabilities arising from
PFPC's obligations pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation,
liabilities arising under the Securities Laws, and any state and foreign
securities and blue sky laws, and amendments thereto) and expenses,
7
<PAGE>
including (without limitation) reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements
arising directly or indirectly out of PFPC's or its nominee's own willful
misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement.
(c) In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this
Paragraph 12 shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which either party
may be required to indemnify the other, the party seeking indemnification shall
promptly notify the other party of such assertion, and shall keep the other
party advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The party
who may be required to indemnify shall have the option to participate with the
party seeking indemnification in the defense of such claim. The party seeking
indemnification shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any
case in which the other party may be required to indemnify it except with the
other party's prior written consent.
(d) The members of the Board of the Fund, its officers and Shareholders,
or of any Portfolio thereof, shall not be liable for any obligations of the
Fund, or any such Portfolio, under this Agreement, and PFPC agrees that in
asserting any rights or claims under this Agreement, it shall look only to the
assets and property of the Fund or the particular Portfolio in settlement of
such rights or claims and not to such members of the Board, its officers or
Shareholders. PFPC further agrees that it will look only to the assets and
property of a particular Portfolio of the Fund, should the Fund have established
separate series, in asserting any rights or claims under this Agreement with
respect to services rendered with respect to that Portfolio and will not seek to
obtain settlement of such rights or claims from the assets of any other
Portfolio of the Fund.
13. INSURANCE. PFPC shall maintain insurance of the types and in the
amounts deemed by it to be appropriate. To the extent that policies of
insurance may provide for coverage of claims for liability or indemnity by the
parties set forth in this Agreement, the contracts of
8
<PAGE>
insurance shall take precedence, and no provision of this Agreement shall be
construed to relieve an insurer of any obligation to pay claims to the Fund,
PFPC or other insured party which would otherwise be a covered claim in the
absence of any provision of this Agreement.
14. SECURITY.
(a) PFPC represents and warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, the
various procedures and systems which PFPC has implemented with regard to the
safeguarding from loss or damage attributable to fire, theft or any other cause
(including provision for twenty-four hours a day restricted access) of the
Fund's blank checks, certificates, records and other data and PFPC's equipment,
facilities and other property used in the performance of its obligations
hereunder are adequate, and that it will make such changes therein from time to
time as in its judgment are required for the secure performance of its
obligations hereunder. PFPC shall review such systems and procedures on a
periodic basis, and the Fund shall have reasonable access to review these
systems and procedures.
(b) Y2K Compliance. PFPC further represents and warrants that any and
all electronic data processing systems and programs that it uses or retains in
connection with the provision of services hereunder on or before January 1, 1999
will be year 2000 compliant.
15. RESPONSIBILITY OF PFPC.
(a) PFPC shall be under no duty to take any action on behalf of the Fund
except as specifically set forth herein or as may be specifically agreed to by
PFPC in writing. PFPC shall be obligated to exercise care and diligence in the
performance of its duties hereunder, to act in good faith and to use its best
efforts in performing services provided for under this Agreement. PFPC shall be
liable for any damages arising out of PFPC's failure to perform its duties under
9
<PAGE>
this Agreement to the extent such damages arise out of PFPC's willful
misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of such duties.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of any other
provision of this Agreement, PFPC shall not be under any duty or obligation to
inquire into and shall not be liable for (A) the validity or invalidity or
authority or lack thereof of any Oral Instruction or Written Instruction, notice
or other instrument which conforms to the applicable requirements of this
Agreement, and which PFPC reasonably believes to be genuine; or (B) subject to
Section 10, delays or errors or loss of data occurring by reason of
circumstances beyond PFPC's control, including acts of civil or military
authority, national emergencies, labor difficulties, fire, flood, catastrophe,
acts of God, insurrection, war, riots or failure of the mails, transportation,

PaineWebber RMA Money Fund, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion, as counsel to PaineWebber RMA Money Fund,
Inc. ("Fund"), as to certain matters regarding the issuance of certain Shares of
the Fund. As used in this letter, the term "Shares" means the shares of common
stock of the series of the Fund listed below during the time that Post-Effective
Amendment No. 30 to the Fund's Registration Statement on Form N-1A ("PEA") is
effective and has not been superseded by another post-effective amendment. The
series of the Fund are Money Market Portfolio, U.S. Government Portfolio and
PaineWebber Retirement Money Fund.
As such counsel, we have examined certified or other copies, believed by us
to be genuine, of the Fund's Articles of Incorporation and by-laws and such
resolutions and minutes of meetings of the Fund's Board of Directors as we have
deemed relevant to our opinion, as set forth herein. Our opinion is limited to
the laws and facts in existence on the date hereof, and it is further limited to
the laws (other than the conflict of law rules) in the State of Maryland that in
our experience are normally applicable to the issuance of shares by registered
investment companies organized as corporations under the laws of that State and
to the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act"), the Investment Company Act of 1940
("1940 Act") and the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") thereunder.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the issuance of the
Shares has been duly authorized by the Fund and that, when sold in accordance
with the terms contemplated by the PEA, including receipt by the Fund of full
payment for the Shares and compliance with the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act, the
Shares will have been validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to this opinion accompanying the PEA when it is filed
with the SEC and to the reference to our firm in the statement of additional
information that is being filed as part of the PEA.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP

PAINEWEBBER RMA MONEY FUND, INC.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION PURSUANT TO RULE 12b-1
UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
WHEREAS, PaineWebber RMA Money Fund, Inc. ("Fund") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), as an open-end
management investment company, and currently offers for public sale three
distinct series of shares of common stock ("Series"), which correspond to
distinct portfolios and have been designated as the Money Market Portfolio, U.S.
Government Portfolio and PaineWebber Retirement Money Fund; and
WHEREAS, the Fund has adopted a Plan of Distribution ("Plan") pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Series designated as the U.S.
Government Portfolio and PaineWebber Retirement Money Fund and such other Series
as may hereafter be designated by the Fund's board of directors ("Board"); and
WHEREAS, the Fund has entered into a Distribution Contract ("Contract")
with PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber") pursuant to which PaineWebber has
agreed to serve as Distributor for each such Series;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Fund hereby adopts this Plan with respect to such
Series in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
1.A. Each Series is authorized to pay to PaineWebber, as compensation
for PaineWebber's service activities with respect to the Series' shareholders
under the Contract, a service fee at the rate of 0.15% on an annualized basis of
the Series' average daily net assets. Such fee shall be calculated and accrued
daily and paid monthly or at such other intervals as the Board shall determine.
B. A Series may pay a service fee to PaineWebber at a lesser rate than
the fee specified in paragraph 1A of this Plan, as agreed upon by the Board and
PaineWebber and as approved in the manner specified in paragraph 4 of this Plan.
2. As Distributor for each Series, PaineWebber may spend such amounts
as it deems appropriate on any activities or expenses primarily intended to
result in the sale of the Series' shares or the servicing and maintenance of
shareholder accounts, including, but not limited to, compensation to employees
of PaineWebber; compensation to and expenses, including overhead and telephone
and other communication expenses, of PaineWebber, Mitchell Hutchins Asset
Management Inc. and other selected dealers who engage in or support the
distribution of shares or who service shareholder accounts; the printing and
distributing of prospectuses, statements of
<PAGE>
additional information, and reports for other than existing shareholders; and
the preparation, printing and distribution of sales literature and
advertising materials.
3. This Plan shall take effect with respect to the Series designated
U.S. Government Portfolio and PaineWebber Retirement Money Fund on the date set
forth below, provided that it has first been approved by the Board as set forth
in paragraph 4, but shall not take effect with respect to any other Series
unless it first has been approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Series.
4. This Plan shall not take effect with respect to any Series unless
it first has been approved, together with any related agreements, by votes of a
majority of both (a) the Board and (b) those Directors of the Fund who are not
"interested persons" of the Fund and have no direct or indirect financial
interest in the operation of this Plan or any agreements related thereto
("Independent Directors"), cast in person at a meeting (or meetings) called for
the purpose of voting on such approval; and until the Directors who approve the
Plan's taking effect with respect to such Series have reached the conclusion
required by Rule 12b-1(e) under the 1940 Act.
5. If approved as set forth in paragraphs 3 and 4, this Plan shall
continue thereafter in full force and effect with respect to such Series for so
long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually in the
manner provided for approval of this Plan in paragraph 4.
6. PaineWebber shall provide to the Board and the Board shall review,
at least quarterly, a written report of the amounts expended with respect to
each Series by PaineWebber under this Plan and the Contract and the purposes for
which such expenditures were made. PaineWebber shall submit only information
regarding amounts expended for "service activities," as defined in this
Paragraph 6, to the Board in support of the service fee payable hereunder.
For purposes of this Plan, "service activities" shall mean activities in
connection with the provision by PaineWebber of personal, continuing services to
investors in the shares of the Series and/or the maintenance of shareholder
accounts; provided, however, that if the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") adopts a definition of "service fee" for purposes of
Section 26(d) of the NASD Rules of Fair Practice that differs from the
definition of "service activities" hereunder, or if the NASD adopts a related
definition intended to define the same concept, the definition of "service
activities" in this Paragraph shall be automatically amended, without further
action of the parties, to conform to such NASD definition. Overhead and other
expenses of PaineWebber related to its "service activities," including telephone
and other communications expenses, may be included in the information regarding
amounts expended for such activities.
7. This Plan may be terminated with respect to any Series at any time
by vote of the Board, by vote of a majority of the Independent Directors, or by
vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that Series.
8. This Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount of
service fees provided for in paragraph 1A hereof unless such amendment is
approved by a vote of a majority
2
<PAGE>
of the outstanding voting securities of the affected Series, and no material
amendment to the Plan shall be made unless approved in the manner provided
for approval and annual renewal in paragraph 5 hereof.
9. The amount of the service fees payable by any Series to PaineWebber
under paragraph 1A hereof and the Contract is not related directly to expenses
incurred by PaineWebber on behalf of such Series in serving as its Distributor,
and paragraph 2 hereof and the Contract do not obligate the Series to reimburse
PaineWebber for such expenses. The service fees set forth in paragraph 1A
hereof will be paid by the Series to PaineWebber until either the Plan or the
