PAINEWEBBER  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
PaineWebber Mutual Fund Trust ("Mutual Fund Trust") and PaineWebber Municipal
Series ("Municipal Series") (collectively, the "Trusts") were organized under
Massachusetts law by Declarations of Trust dated November 21, 1986 and January
28, 1987, respectively, and are registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
diversified management investment company and an open-end non-diversified
management investment company, respectively. Mutual Fund Trust has two series:
PaineWebber California Tax-Free Income Fund ("California Tax-Free Income Fund")
and PaineWebber National Tax-Free Income Fund ("National Tax-Free Income
Fund"). Municipal Series has two series: PaineWebber Municipal High Income Fund
("Municipal High Income Fund") and PaineWebber New York Tax-Free Income Fund
("New York Tax-Free Income Fund") (collectively, the "Funds").
 
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.
 
Currently, each Fund offers Class A, Class B and Class C (formerly called Class
D) shares. National Tax-Free Income Fund also offers Class Y shares (formerly
Class C). Effective November 10, 1995, the Funds began using industry
standardized nomenclature and Class D shares were renamed Class C shares and
Class C shares were renamed 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 structures, ongoing distribution charges and
certain transfer agency expenses. In addition, Class B 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.
 
Valuation of Investments - Where market quotations are readily available,
portfolio securities are valued thereon, provided such quotations adequately
reflect, in the judgment of Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell
Hutchins"), a wholly owned subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated
("PaineWebber") and investment adviser, administrator and distributor of the
Funds, the fair value of the securities. When market quotations are not readily
available, securities are valued based upon appraisals received from a pricing
service which utilizes a computerized matrix system, or 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
each Trust's board of trustees. The amortized cost method of valuation, which
approximates market value, is used to
 
                                       21

PAINEWEBBER
 
value debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless the
respective Trust's board of trustees determines that this does not represent
fair value.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income - Investment transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment
transactions are calculated on 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 securities.
 
Income and expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) are allocated
proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative value of
dividend eligible shares of each class at the beginning of the day (after
adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective classes).
Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately to each
class of shares based on the relative value of shares outstanding at the
beginning of the day (after adjusting for current capital share activity of the
respective class). Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the
applicable class of shares.
 
Dividends and Distributions - Each Fund declares dividends on a daily basis
from net investment income. 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 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
 
Each Fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal

ACQUISITION
 
Effective November 3, 1995, National Tax-Free Income Fund acquired all of the
net assets of Mitchell Hutchins/Kidder, Peabody Municipal Bond Fund ("MH/KP
Municipal Bond Fund") pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by MH/KP
Municipal Bond Fund shareholders on October 27, 1995. The acquisition was
accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 727,202 Class A, 255,358 Class D
(currently Class C) and 35,331 Class C (currently Class Y) shares of National
Tax- Free Income Fund for 739,938 Class A, 259,829 Class B and 35,950 Class C
shares, respectively, of MH/KP Municipal Bond Fund outstanding on November 3,
1995. MH/KP Municipal Bond Fund's net assets at that date, valued at
$11,831,545, including accumulated net realized losses of $2,653,192 and net
unrealized gain of investments of $586,347, were combined with those of the
National Tax-Free Income Fund.
 
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, each Fund pays Mitchell
Hutchins an investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued daily
and paid monthly, at the annual rates of 0.50% of California Tax-Free Income
Fund's and National Tax-Free Income Fund's average daily net assets and 0.60%
of Municipal High Income Fund's and New York Tax-Free Income Fund's average
daily net assets. At February 29, 1996, California Tax-Free Income Fund,
National Tax-Free Income Fund, Municipal High Income Fund and New York Tax-Free
Income Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $81,191, $182,170, $48,837 and $28,471,
respectively, in investment advisory and administration fees.
 
In compliance with applicable state securities laws, Mitchell Hutchins will
reimburse each 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 applicable to the Funds
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
February 29, 1996, no reimbursements were required pursuant to the above
limitation for any of the Funds.
 
DISTRIBUTION PLANS
 
Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of each Fund's shares and has appointed
PaineWebber as dealer for the sale of those shares. Under separate plans of
distribution pertaining to Class A, Class B and Class C shares, each Fund pays
Mitchell Hutchins monthly service fees at the annual rate of 0.25% of the
average

PAINEWEBBER
daily net assets of each class of shares and monthly distribution fees at the
annual rate of 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class B and
Class C shares, respectively. At February 29, 1996, California Tax-Free Income
Fund, National Tax-Free Income Fund, Municipal High Income Fund and New York
Tax-Free Income Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $66,216, $152,869, $42,939 and
$19,198, respectively, in service and distribution fees. For the year ended
February 29, 1996, Mitchell Hutchins voluntarily waived $77,600 in service fees
from New York Tax-Free Income Fund.
 
Mitchell Hutchins also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid
by shareholders 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 February 29, 1996, it earned $252,092, $454,227, $163,798 and $100,602 in
sales charges for the California Tax-Free Income Fund, National Tax-Free Income
Fund, Municipal High Income Fund and New York Tax-Free Income Fund,
respectively.
 
TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICE FEES
 
Each Fund pays PaineWebber an annual fee of $4.00 per active PaineWebber
shareholder account for certain services not provided by the Funds' transfer
agent. For these services for the year ended February 29, 1996, PaineWebber
earned $19,943, $52,513, $15,997 and $9,267 from California Tax-Free Income
Fund, National Tax-Free Income Fund, Municipal High Income Fund and New York

FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
 
Each Fund intends to distribute all of its tax-exempt income and any taxable
income and to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provisions for
federal income taxes are required. In addition, by distributing during each
calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and
certain other amounts, if any, each Fund intends not to be subject to a federal
excise tax.
 
At February 29, 1996, the funds had the following net capital loss
carryforwards available as reductions, to the extent provided in the
regulations, of future net realized capital gains which expire as follows:

To the extent that any such losses are used to offset future capital gains, it
is probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed.
 
To reflect reclassifications arising from permanent "book/tax" differences for
the year ended February 29, 1996, National Tax-Free Income Fund's
overdistributed/ underdistributed net investment income was increased by
$150,000 and beneficial interest was decreased by $150,000. Permanent book/tax
differences are attributable to fund acquisition expenses.

(1) Total return is calculated assuming a $1,000 investment on the first day of
    each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains
    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 for each class would be lower if sales
    charges were included. Total returns for periods of less than one year have
    not been annualized.

(1) Total return is calculated assuming a $1,000 investment on the first day of
    each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains
    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 for each class would be lower if sales
    charges were included. Total returns for periods of less than one year have
    not been annualized.
(2) These ratios include non-recurring acquisition expenses of 0.03% for each
    class of shares.

            REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
            The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
            PaineWebber Mutual Fund Trust
            PaineWebber Municipal Series
 
            We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and
            liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of
            PaineWebber Mutual Fund Trust (comprising PaineWebber California
            Tax-Free Income Fund and PaineWebber National Tax-Free Income
            Fund), and PaineWebber Municipal Series (comprising PaineWebber
            Municipal High Income Fund and PaineWebber New York Tax-Free
            Income Fund) (the "Trusts") as of February 29, 1996, and the
            related statements of operations for the year then ended and the
            statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for
            each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements
            and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts'
            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 February 29, 1996 by correspondence with the custodian
            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 each of the respective Funds constituting
            PaineWebber Mutual Fund Trust and PaineWebber Municipal Series at
            February 29, 1996, the results of their operations for the year
            then ended, and the changes in their net assets and financial
            highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with
            generally accepted accounting principles.

TAX INFORMATION
 
We are required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, to advise you within 60 days of each Fund's fiscal year end (February
29, 1996), as to the federal tax status of distributions received by
shareholders during such fiscal year. Accordingly, we are advising you that the
following distributions paid during the fiscal year were derived from the
following sources:

* Federally exempt interest dividends
 
The California Tax-Free Income Fund, National Tax-Free Income Fund and New York
Tax-Free Income Fund did not invest in any security which paid interest subject
to the federal alternative minimum tax for individual taxpayers during its
fiscal year. Therefore, none of the dividends paid by these funds were subject
to such tax. The Municipal High Income Fund had 0.4% of its dividends subject
to the federal alternative minimum tax for individual taxpayers during its
fiscal year. Additionally, all exempt interest dividends paid by California
Tax-Free Income Fund and New York Tax-Free Income Fund were exempt from
California state income tax and New York state and city income tax,
respectively.
 
Because each Fund's fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification
will be sent in respect of calendar year 1996. The second notification, which
reflects 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 Fund.
