PAINEWEBBER     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(UNAUDITED)

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
PaineWebber Low Duration 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. 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.
 
The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. 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.
 
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 - Where market quotations are readily available,
portfolio securities are valued thereby, provided such quotations adequately
reflect the fair value of the securities, in the judgment of Mitchell Hutchins
Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber") and investment adviser and
administrator of the Fund. 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
forgoes 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.
 
Reverse Repurchase Agreement - The Trust enters into reverse repurchase
agreements with qualified, third party broker-dealers as determined by, and
under the direction of, the Trust's board of directors. Interest on the value
of reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon
competitive market rates at the time of issuance. At the time the Trust enters
into a reverse repurchase agreement, it establishes and maintains a segregated
account with the Trust's custodian containing liquid high grade securities
having a value not less than the repurchase price, including accrued interest,
of the reverse repurchase agreement.
 
The average monthly balance of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding during
the six months ended May 31, 1996 was $2,965,833 at a weighted average interest
rate of 5.37%. The maximum amount of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding
at any month-end during the six months was $17,795,000 as of April 30, 1996
which was 6.90% of total assets.
 
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.
 
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
 
The ability of the issuers of the debt securities including mortgage- and
asset-backed securities held by the Trust to meet their obligations may be
affected by economic developments, including those particular to a specific
issuer, industry or region.
 
                                       8

PAINEWEBBER
 
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may decrease in value as a result of
increases in interest rates and may benefit less than other fixed-income
securities from declining interest rates because of the risk of prepayments.
 
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 D (currently Class C) and 140,324 Class C
(currently 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 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
May 31, 1996, the Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $106,863 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) pays
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 six months ended
May 31, 1996, no reimbursements were required pursuant to the above limitation
for the Fund.

average daily net assets of Class B shares and Class C shares, respectively. At

distribution fees.

by the shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares and the contingent
deferred sales charges paid by the shareholders upon certain redemptions of
Class A, Class B and Class C shares. Mitchell Hutchins has informed the Fund

FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
 
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.

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 effected 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.

    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).

(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).
