ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
PaineWebber/Kidder, Peabody Government Money Fund, Inc. (the 'Fund') was
organized under the laws of Maryland on February 2, 1983 and is registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, as an open-end, diversified management investment company.
 
Valuation and Accounting for Investments--Investments are valued at amortized
cost which approximates market value. Investment transactions are recorded on
the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are
calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on an
accrual basis. Premiums are amortized and discounts are accreted as adjustments
to interest income and the identified cost of investments.
 
The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those particular
to a specific industry or region.
 
Repurchase Agreement--The Fund's custodian takes possession of the collateral
pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying collateral is
valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value, including
accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of
default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the
collateral an apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under
certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party
to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject
to legal proceedings.
 
Federal Tax Status--The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its
taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for
federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each
calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and
certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal
excise tax. At March 31, 1995, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $952
which will expire in the year 2003.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders--Dividends and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment
income and distributions from realized gains from investment transactions are
determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles. These 'book/tax' differences are
either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these
differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the
capital accounts based on their federal income tax classification. Net capital
gains, if any, will be distributed at least annually, but
 

                                       3

Notes to Financial Statements--(continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the Fund may make more frequent distributions of such gains, if necessary, to
maintain its net asset value per share at $1.00 or to avoid income or excise
taxes.
 
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 
The Fund's investment adviser and administrator receives compensation from the
Fund for its services. Fees paid by the Fund for investment advisory and
administration services are accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of
0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
 
At a special meeting of shareholders that took place on April 13, 1995,
shareholders approved the appointment of PaineWebber Incorporated
('PaineWebber') as investment adviser and administrator of the Fund and Mitchell
Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ('Mitchell Hutchins') as the Fund's sub-adviser
and sub-administrator. The Fund pays the same fee for investment advisory and
administration services to PaineWebber as previously paid to Kidder Peabody
Asset Management, Inc. ('KPAM'), as described in the Fund's Prospectus.
PaineWebber (not the Fund) pays Mitchell Hutchins a fee for sub-advisory and
sub-administration services at the annual rate of 20% of the fee received by
PaineWebber from the Fund. PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins continue to manage
the Fund in accordance with the Fund's investment objective, policies and
restrictions as stated in the Prospectus. At September 30, 1995, the Fund owed
PaineWebber $102,658 in investment advisory and administration fees.
 
Investment advisory functions for the Fund were previously transferred from KPAM
to Mitchell Hutchins on an interim basis as a result of an asset purchase
transaction by and among Kidder, Peabody Group Inc., its parent, General
Electric Company, and Paine Webber Group Inc. That period commenced on January
30, 1995 and ended April 13, 1995.
 
In compliance with applicable state securities laws, PaineWebber, the Fund's
investment adviser, will reimburse the Fund, if and to the extent that the
aggregate operating expenses in any fiscal year, exclusive of taxes, interest,
brokerage fees, distribution fees and extraordinary expenses, exceed limitations
imposed by various state regulations. Currently, the most restrictive limitation
is 2.5% on the first $30 million of average daily net assets, 2.0% of the next
$70 million and 1.5% of any excess over $100 million. For the six months ended
September 30, 1995, no reimbursements were required pursuant to the above
limitation.
 
DISTRIBUTION PLAN
 
Effective January 30, 1995, PaineWebber serves as the exclusive distributor of
the Fund's shares. For its services PaineWebber receives from the Fund a
distribution fee accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.12% of
the Fund's average daily net assets. At September 30, 1995, $24,638 was payable

to PaineWebber for these services.

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION AND AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS
 
Kidder Peabody Asset Management, Inc. ('KPAM') purchased certain of the Fund's
variable rate securities on July 6, 1994 for an aggregate purchase price of
$15,573,977. The purchases were made at prices equal to the securities'
amortized cost plus accrued and unpaid interest. Since the purchases by KPAM
were made at prices above the securities' then current fair values, the Fund
recorded a capital contribution from KPAM in the amount of $758,500 or $0.002
per share
 
PROPOSED REORGANIZATION
 
The Board of Directors of the Fund have approved a Plan of Reorganization and
Termination (the 'Reorganization') which was submitted to and approved by the
Fund's shareholders, at a special meeting held on November 10, 1995. The
Reorganization occurred on November 20, 1995, when all of the Fund's assets were
acquired and its liabilities were assumed by PaineWebber RMA U.S. Government

Portfolio ('RMA U.S. Government Portfolio'), a series of PaineWebber RMA Money
Fund, Inc., in a tax-free reorganization. As a result of the Reorganization, the
two funds' assets were combined and each of the Fund's shareholders received
shares of RMA U.S. Government Portfolio having an aggregate value equal to the
value of the shareholder's holdings in the Fund.
