PAINEWEBBER     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
PaineWebber Growth & Income Fund ("Growth & Income Fund") and PaineWebber
Growth Fund ("Growth Fund") (collectively, the "Funds") are diversified series
of PaineWebber America Fund and PaineWebber Olympus Fund (the "Trusts"),
respectively. The two Trusts were organized under separate Declarations of
Trust and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified open-end investment
companies.
 
Each Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Each class
represents interests in the same assets of the applicable Fund, and the classes
are identical except for differences in their sales charge structure, ongoing
service/distribution charges and certain transfer agency expenses. In addition,
Class B shares and all corresponding dividend reinvested shares automatically
convert to Class A shares approximately six years after initial issuance. All
classes of shares have equal voting privileges, except that Class A, Class B,
and Class C shares have exclusive voting rights with respect to their
distribution plans. Organizational costs have been deferred and are being
amortized using the straight line method over a period not to exceed 60 months
from the date the costs were incurred.
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires Fund management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is
a summary of significant accounting policies:
 
Valuation of Investments - Securities which are listed on stock exchanges are
valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are being valued or,
lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where
securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on
the exchange designated as the primary market by Mitchell Hutchins Asset
Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), an affiliate and wholly owned subsidiary
of PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber") and investment adviser,
administrator and distributor of the Funds. Securities traded in the over-the-
counter ("OTC") market and listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") are
valued at the last sale price on Nasdaq prior to the time of valuation; other
OTC securities are valued at the last bid price available in the OTC market
prior to the time of valuation. The amortized cost method of valuation is used
to value short-term debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to
maturity. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available
(including restricted securities subject to limitations as to their sale) are
valued at fair value as determined in good faith by a management committee
under the direction of each Trust's Board of Trustees.
 
                                       17

PAINEWEBBER
 
Repurchase Agreements - Each Fund's custodian takes possession of the
collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying
collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value,
including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the
event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to
liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the
obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy
by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the
collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. Each Fund occasionally
participates in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds
managed by Mitchell Hutchins.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income - Investment transactions are
recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions
are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on
an accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Premiums are amortized and discounts are accreted as adjustments to interest
income and identified cost of investments.
 
Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized
gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon
the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of dividend-
eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class at the beginning of the day
(after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective classes).
Class specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class of shares.
 
Dividends and Distributions - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are
determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are
either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these
differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the
capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary
differences do not require reclassifications.
 
ACQUISITIONS
 
Effective October 13, 1995, Growth & Income Fund acquired all of the net assets

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 
Each Trust's board of trustees has approved an Investment Advisory and
Administration Contract ("Advisory Contract") with Mitchell Hutchins, under
which Mitchell Hutchins serves as investment adviser and administrator of the
Funds. In accordance with the Advisory Contracts, Growth & Income Fund and
Growth Fund pay Mitchell Hutchins an investment advisory and administration
fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.70% and
0.75%, respectively, of each Funds average daily net assets. At August 31,
1996, Growth & Income Fund and Growth Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $367,024 and
$249,031, respectively, in investment advisory and administration fees.
 
For the year ended August 31, 1996, Growth & Income Fund and Growth Fund paid
$32,465 and $10,104, respectively, in brokerage commissions to PaineWebber for
transactions executed on behalf of the Funds.
 
DISTRIBUTION PLANS
 
Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of each Fund's shares and has appointed
PaineWebber as the exclusive dealer for the sale of those shares. Under
separate plans of distribution pertaining to the Class A, Class B and Class C
shares, the Funds pay Mitchell Hutchins monthly service fees at the annual rate
of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B and Class C
shares and monthly distribution fees at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average
daily net assets on Class B and Class C shares. At August 31, 1996, Growth &
Income Fund and Growth Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $324,858 and $182,531,
respectively, in service and distribution fees.
 
Mitchell Hutchins also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid
upon the purchase of Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charges
paid by shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A, Class B and Class C
shares. Mitchell Hutchins has informed each Fund that for the year ended August
31, 1996, it earned $979,512 and $579,350 in sales charges for the Growth &
Income Fund and Growth Fund, respectively.

  * Annualized
 + Commencement of issuance of shares
(1) Total investment return is calculated assuming a $1,000 investment on the
    first day of each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and
    distributions at net asset value on the payable dates, and a sale at net
    asset value on the last day of each period reported. The figures do not
    include sales charges; results would be lower if sales charges were
    included. Total investment return information for periods of less than one
    year has not been annualized.
(2) These ratios include non-recurring acquisition expenses of 0.04%.
(3) Disclosure effective for fiscal years beginning on or after September 1,
    1995.

statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned at August 31, 1996 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
PaineWebber Growth & Income Fund and PaineWebber Growth Fund at August 31, 1996
and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in
their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their
financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

* Taxable as ordinary income
 
  Dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not
be reported as taxable income. Some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh
and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual information
reporting.
 
  Since each Fund's fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification
will be sent with respect of calendar year 1996. Such notifications, which will
reflect the amount to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their federal
income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and will be
mailed in January 1997. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax
advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in each of
the Funds.
