PAINEWEBBER   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
PaineWebber Low Duration U.S. Government Income Fund (formerly PaineWebber
Short-Term U.S. Government Income Fund) (the "Fund"), a series of PaineWebber
Managed Investments Trust (the "Trust"), is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an
open-end, diversified investment company. Effective October 20, 1995, the Fund
commenced conducting business under the name "PaineWebber Low Duration U.S.
Government Income Fund." The Board of Directors approved the change of the
Fund's name at a meeting held on July 20, 1995. The Trust is a series mutual
fund with five funds: the Fund, as well as PaineWebber U.S. Government Income
Fund, PaineWebber Investment Grade Income Fund, PaineWebber High Income Fund,
and PaineWebber Utility Income Fund, which are not presented in these financial
statements.
 
Organizational Matters - The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C (formerly
Class D) and Class Y (formerly Class C) shares. Effective November 10, 1995,
the Fund began using industry standardized nomenclature and Class D and Class C
shares were renamed Class C and Class Y shares, respectively. Each class
represents interests in the same assets of the Fund and the classes are
identical except for differences in their sales charge structures, ongoing
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 issuance. All classes of shares
have equal voting privileges, except that each class has exclusive voting
rights with respect to its distribution plan.
 
Valuation of Investments - Where market quotations are readily available,
portfolio securities are valued thereby, provided such quotations adequately
reflect, in the judgment of Mitchell Hutchins, the fair value of the
securities. When market quotations are not readily available, securities are
valued based upon appraisals derived from information concerning those
securities or similar securities received from recognized dealers in those
securities. All other securities are valued at fair value as determined in good
faith by or under the direction of the Trust's board of trustees. The amortized
cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, is used to value
debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Trust's
board of trustees determines that this does not represent fair value.
 
Repurchase Agreements - The Fund's custodian takes possession of the collateral
pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying collateral is
valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value, including
accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of
default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate
the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under
certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party
to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject
to legal proceedings.
 
 
                                       7

PAINEWEBBER
Investment Transactions and Investment Income - 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. Discounts are accreted and premiums are
amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of
investments. The Fund may enter into transactions in which the Fund sells
securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to
repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on
a specified future date (the "roll period"). During the roll period the Fund
foregoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Fund is compensated
by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale and by fee
income or a lower repurchase price.
 
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.
 
Federal Taxes - The Fund intends to distribute all of its taxable income and to
comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income
taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year
substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other
amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 reclassification. Dividends and
distributions which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains
for financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes are reported as
dividends in excess of net investment income or distributions in excess of net
realized capital gains. To the extent they exceed net investment income and net
realized capital gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of
paid-in-capital.
 
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
 
The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Funds to meet
their obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those
particular to a specific industry, country or region.

ACQUISITION
 
Effective as of the close of business on October 20, 1995, the Fund acquired
all the net assets of Mitchell Hutchins/Kidder, Peabody Adjustable Rate
Government Fund ("MH/KP Adjustable Rate Government Fund") pursuant to a plan of
reorganization approved by MH/KP Adjustable Rate Government Fund shareholders
on October 19, 1995. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of
9,170,754 Class A, 892,249 Class C and 140,324 Class Y shares of Low Duration
U.S. Government Income Fund for 1,890,961 Class A, 183,977 Class B, and 28,934
Class C shares, respectively, of MH/KP Adjustable Rate Government Fund
outstanding on October 20, 1995. MH/KP Adjustable Rate Government Fund's net
assets at that date, valued at $23,768,145, including accumulated net realized
losses of $4,063,268 and net unrealized appreciation on investments of
$109,800, were combined with those of the Low Duration U.S. Government Income
Fund.
 
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 
The 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
Fund. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins
an investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid
monthly, at the annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. At
November 30, 1995, the Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $131,756 in investment
advisory and administration fees.
 
Under a separate contract with Mitchell Hutchins ("Sub-Advisory Contract"),
Pacific Investment Management Company ("PIMCO") serves as the Trust's sub-
adviser. Under the Sub-Advisory Contract, Mitchell Hutchins (not the Fund) will
pay PIMCO a fee, computed weekly and payable monthly, in an amount equal to
one-half of the advisory fee received by Mitchell Hutchins from the Fund.
 
In compliance with applicable state securities laws, Mitchell Hutchins will
reimburse the Fund if and to the extent that the aggregate operating expenses
in any fiscal year, exclusive of taxes, distribution fees, interest, brokerage
fees and extraordinary expenses, exceed limitations imposed by various state
regulations. Currently, the most restrictive limitation applicable to the Fund
is 2.5% of 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 year ended
November 30, 1995, no reimbursements were required pursuant to the above
limitation for the Fund.
 
DISTRIBUTION PLANS
 
Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of the 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 Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins monthly service fees at the annual rate

FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
 
At November 30, 1995, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of
$121,081,702. The capital loss carryforward includes capital losses acquired by
the fund pursuant to its reorganization with MH/KP Adjustable Rate Government
Fund (which was acquired during fiscal year 1995) in the amount of $4,063,268.
The loss carryforward will expire between November 30, 2001 and November 30,
2003. To the extent such losses are used, as provided in the regulations, to
offset future net realized capital gains, it is probable these gains will not
be distributed.

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION FROM MITCHELL HUTCHINS
 
On September 23, 1994, the Fund recorded a capital contribution from Mitchell
Hutchins in the amount of $16.0 million or $0.06 per Fund share. An additional
$16.8 million was paid directly to certain shareholders who had redeemed Fund
shares prior to September 23, 1994. These amounts were paid by Mitchell
Hutchins in connection with the settlement of certain class action litigation.
The payments reflected losses that had been incurred by the Fund by reason of
its investments in non-planned amortization class interest-only and principal-
only (I/O and P/O) securities.

    not been made the total investment returns would have been (7.02)% for
    Class A, (7.74)% for Class B and (7.50)% for Class C (formerly Class D).
*** Formerly Class D
(1) Total investment return is calculated assuming a $1,000 investment on the
    first day of each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends 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 for Class A, Class B and Class C would be lower if sales charges
    were included. Total investment returns for periods less than one year have
    not been annualized.
(2) During the year ended November 30, 1994 Mitchell Hutchins waived a portion
    of its advisory and administration fees. If such waivers had not been made
    the annualized ratios of expenses to average net assets, and net investment
    income to average net assets, respectively, would have been 0.88% and 5.12%
    for Class A, 1.66% and 4.35% for Class B, and 1.39% and 4.61% for Class C
    (formerly Class D).

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
PaineWebber Managed Investments Trust
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, of PaineWebber Low Duration U.S. Government
Income Fund, formerly PaineWebber Short-term U.S. Government Income Fund (one
of the portfolios of PaineWebber Managed Investments Trust) (the "Fund") as of
November 30, 1995, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods
indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned at
November 30, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and others. 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
PaineWebber Low Duration U.S. Government Income Fund at November 30, 1995, and
the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial
highlights for the indicated periods, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

PAINEWEBBER  LOW DURATION U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND

TAX INFORMATION
 
We are required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, to advise you within 60 days of the Fund's fiscal year end (November
30, 1995) as to the federal tax status of distributions received by
shareholders during such fiscal year from the Fund. Accordingly, we are
advising you that all of the distributions paid by the Low Duration U.S.
Government Income Fund during the period were derived from net investment
income and are 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 reporting.
 
Because the Fund's fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification
will be sent in respect of calendar year 1995. The second notification, which
will reflect the amounts to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their federal
income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and is
mailed in January 1996. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax
advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.
