PAINEWEBBER MONEY MARKET FUND                                 SEMIANNUAL REPORT



                                                               October 15, 1998

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to present you with the semiannual report for the PaineWebber
Money Market Fund (the "Fund") for the six-month period ended August 31, 1998.


GENERAL MARKET OVERVIEW

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[PICTURE]

U.S. bond market yields fell over the period, reflecting investor demand for
high-quality securities and diminishing concern over inflation. The bond
market traded in tandem with the dollar and the yield curve flattened as
long-term rates fell more than short-term rates. Rates briefly rose in April
of this year when the Federal Reserve announced it had shifted to a tightening
bias, but dropped at month-end on good employment and inflation news.

In July the stock markets became more volatile, and investors shifted some of
their assets into bonds, causing yields to fall and prices to rise. Reflecting
investors' liquidity premium, Treasury bonds made large gains and corporate
bonds were viewed as relatively less attractive.


PORTFOLIO REVIEW
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[PICTURE]

We remained somewhat bullish on the fixed income markets over the six months
ended August 31, 1998, expecting interest rates to hold steady or fall
slightly. We kept the Fund's weighted average maturity slightly above its peer
group. The Fund's current yield for the seven-day period ended August 31, 1998
was 4.56% for Class A shares, 4.03% for Class B shares and 4.02% for Class C
shares. The Fund's weighted-average maturity was 64 days, and net assets
totaled $83.0 million as of August 31, 1998.


OUTLOOK
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[PICTURE]

We remain bullish on short rates because of the volatility in the marketplace.
The demand for U.S. debt remains high as the "flight to quality" continues. We
think the Federal Reserve may lower short-term rates again, depending on what
happens in the U.S. stock market and in the world economies.

Because we expect interest rates to trend lower, we expect to keep the Fund's
weighted average maturity slightly above that of its peer group.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   PaineWebber Master Series, Inc. ("Master Series") was incorporated in
Maryland on October 29, 1985 and is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
an open-end, diversified series investment company which currently offers two
series of shares: PaineWebber Money Market Fund ("Fund") and PaineWebber
Balanced Fund. The financial statements for PaineWebber Balanced Fund are not
included herein.

   The Fund offers Class A, Class B and Class C 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 service and
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 each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or
distribution plan. All classes of shares may be obtained only through an
exchange of shares of the corresponding class of other PaineWebber mutual
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. The following is
a summary of significant accounting policies:

   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.

   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. The Fund may participate in
joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed by Mitchell
Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), an asset management
subsidiary of PaineWebber and investment adviser and administrator of the
Fund.

   Net Investment Income and Investment Transactions--Income and expenses
(excluding class-specific expenses) are allocated proportionately to each
class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of dividend-eligible
shares of each class at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for current
capital share activity of the respective clases). Realized gains and losses
are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative
value of shares outstanding 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. 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.

                                                                             7

CONCENTRATION OF RISK

   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.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR

   The Board of Directors of Master Series 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 August 31, 1998, the Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $28,906 for
investment advisory and administration fees.

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 service and/or distribution pertaining to the Class A, Class
B and Class C shares, the Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins monthly service fees at
the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of
shares and monthly distrubution fees at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average
daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At August 31, 1998 the Fund
owed Mitchell Hutchins $24,853 in service and distribution fees.

   Mitchell Hutchins also receives the proceeds of the contingent deferred
sales charges paid upon certain redemptions of Class A, Class B and Class C
shares. Mitchell Hutchins has informed the Fund that for the six months ended
August 31, 1998, it earned $82,767 in sales charges.

TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICE FEES

   PaineWebber provides transfer agency related services to the Fund pursuant
to a delegation of authority from PFPC, Inc., the Fund's transfer agent, and
is compensated for these services by PFPC, Inc., not the Fund. For the six
months ended August 31, 1998, PaineWebber received from PFPC, Inc., not the
Fund, approximately 52% of the total transfer agency and related service fees
collected by PFPC, Inc. from the Fund.

OTHER LIABILITIES

   At August 31, 1998, the amounts payable for Fund shares repurchased and
dividends payable aggregated $202,131 and $49,232, respectively.

</TABLE>

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 federal excise
tax.

   At February 28, 1998, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $11,343
available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of future
net realized gains, which will expire between February 28, 1999 and February
28, 2006. To the extent that such losses are used to offset future capital
gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed.

                                                                             9
