NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 PaineWebber Growth & Income Fund ("Growth & Income Fund") and PaineWebber
Growth Fund ("Growth Fund") (collectively, the "Funds") are diversified series
of PaineWebber America Fund and PaineWebber Olympus Fund (the "Trusts"), re-
spectively. The two Trusts were organized under separate Declarations of Trust
and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the In-
vestment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified open-end investment
companies. Organizational costs have been deferred and are being amortized us-
ing the straight line method over a period not to exceed 60 months from the
date the Funds commenced operations.
 Currently, each Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and 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 service and distribution charges and certain transfer agency expenses.
In addition, Class B shares and all corresponding reinvested dividend 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 service and/or distribution plan.
 The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires Fund management to make estimates and assump-
tions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial state-
ments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies:
 Valuation of Investments -- Securities which are listed on stock exchanges are
valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are being valued or,
lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where
securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on
the exchange designated by Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell
Hutchins"), a wholly owned subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated
("PaineWebber") and investment adviser, administrator and distributor of the
Funds. Securities traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market and listed on
the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq") are valued at the last available sale
price, or last bid price available if no sale occurs, on Nasdaq prior to the
time of valuation. Where market quotations are readily available, debt securi-
ties are valued thereon, provided such quotations adequately reflect the fair
value of the securities in the judgment of Mitchell Hutchins. When market quo-
tations are not readily available, securities are valued based upon appraisals
derived from information concerning those securities or similar securities re-
ceived 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 is used
to value short-term debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to matu-
rity, unless each Trust's board of trustees determines that this does not rep-
resent fair value.
 Repurchase Agreements -- Each Fund's custodian takes possession of the collat-
eral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying collat-
eral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value, in-
cluding accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the
 
                                                                              29
<PAGE>
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
event of default of the obligation to repurchase, each Fund has the right to
liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obliga-
tion. 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. Each Fund occasionally participates in
joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed by Mitchell
Hutchins.
 Investment Transactions and Investment Income -- Investment transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transac-
tions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is re-
corded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to in-
terest income and identified cost of investments.
 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 (af-
ter 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. 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 differ-
ences 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.
ACQUISITIONS

come Fund") in a tax free exchange for shares of Growth & Income Fund. The ac-

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 Each Trust's board of trustees has approved an Investment Advisory and Admin-
istration 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, Growth & Income Fund and Growth Fund
pay Mitchell Hutchins an investment advisory and administration fee, which is
accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.70% and 0.75%, respec-
tively, of each Funds' average daily net assets. At August 31, 1997, Growth &
Income Fund and Growth Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $565,053 and $236,439, re-
spectively, in investment advisory and administration fees.
 For the year ended August 31, 1997, Growth & Income Fund and Growth Fund paid
$43,440 and $32,130, respectively, in brokerage commissions to PaineWebber for
transactions executed on behalf of the Funds.
DISTRIBUTION PLANS
 Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of each Fund's shares and has appointed
PaineWebber as the exclusive dealer for the sale of those shares. Under sepa-
rate plans of service and/or distribution pertaining to Class A, Class B and
Class C shares, the Funds pay Mitchell Hutchins monthly service fees at the an-
nual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B
and Class C shares and monthly distribution fees at the annual rate of 0.75% of
the average daily net assets on Class B and Class C shares. At August 31, 1997,
Growth & Income Fund and Growth Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $478,669 and
$162,968, respectively, in service and distribution fees.
 Mitchell Hutchins also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid
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 August
31, 1997, it earned $1,432,458 and $364,727 in sales charges for the Growth &
Income Fund and Growth Fund, respectively.
SECURITY LENDING
 Each Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to qualified institu-
tions. The loans are secured at all times by cash or U.S. government securities
in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus
accrued interest, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. Each
Fund will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain ben-
eficial rights, however, each Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of,
or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail fi-
nancially. Each Fund receives compensation, which is included in interest in-
come, for lending its securities from interest earned on the cash or U.S. gov-
ernment securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower
plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. Each Fund's lending agent is
PaineWebber, who received $10,718 and $44,947 for Growth & Income Fund and
Growth Fund, respectively, in compensation from the Funds in that capacity for
the year ended August 31, 1997.
 As of August 31, 1997, each Fund held cash and/or cash equivalents having an
aggregate value of $61,067,600 and $42,063,414 as collateral for portfolio se-
curities loaned having a market value of $59,056,188 and $39,903,404 for Growth
& Income Fund and Growth Fund, respectively.
 
                                                                              31

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
BANK LINE OF CREDIT
 Each Fund may participate with other funds managed by Mitchell Hutchins in a
$200 million committed credit facility ("Facility") to be utilized for tempo-
rary financing until the settlement of sale or purchase of portfolio securi-
ties, the repurchase or redemption of shares of each Fund at the request of the
shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. In connection there-
with, each Fund has agreed to pay a commitment fee, pro rata, based on the rel-
ative asset size of the Funds in the Facility. Interest is charged to each Fund
at rates based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings.
For the year ended August 31, 1997, the Funds did not borrow under the Facili-
ty.
TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICE FEES
 Prior to August 1, 1997, each Fund paid PaineWebber an annual fee of $4.00 per
active PaineWebber shareholder account for certain services not provided by the
Fund's transfer agent. For these services for the year ended August 31, 1997,
PaineWebber earned $191,744 and $110,890 from Growth & Income Fund and Growth
Fund, respectively.
 
 Subsequent to August 1, 1997, PaineWebber provides transfer agency related
services to the Funds pursuant to a delegation of authority from PFPC, Inc.,
the Fund's transfer agent. For the period August 1, 1997 to August 31, 1997,

PaineWebber $30,998 and $14,698 for Growth & Income Fund and Growth Fund, re-
spectively, for these services.

ments were as follows:

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP,
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
PaineWebber Growth & Income Fund
PaineWebber Growth Fund
 
 We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, includ-
ing the portfolios of investments, of the PaineWebber Growth & Income Fund and
PaineWebber Growth Fund as of August 31, 1997, and the related statements of
operations for the year then ended, the statements 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 fi-
nancial highlights are the responsibility of each Fund's management. Our re-
sponsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and finan-
cial highlights based on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing stan-
dards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial high-
lights 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 securities owned at August
31, 1997 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers. An audit also in-
cludes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presenta-
tion. 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 Growth & Income Fund and PaineWebber Growth Fund at August 31, 1997
and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in
their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their
financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with gen-
erally accepted accounting principles.

TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
 
 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 (August
31, 1997) as to the federal tax status of distributions received by sharehold-
ers during such fiscal year. Accordingly, we are advising you that the follow-
ing distributions paid during the fiscal year by the Funds were derived from
the following sources:

* 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 information re-
porting.
 
 Since each Fund's fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification
will be sent with respect to calendar year 1997. Such notifications, which will
reflect the amount to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their federal in-
come tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and will be
mailed in January 1998. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax ad-
visers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in each of the
Funds.
