WHO SHOULD INVEST. Each Fund has its own suitability considerations and
risk factors, as summarized below and described in detail under "Investment
Objectives and Policies." The Funds are designed for investors seeking liquidity
and current income. The Funds provide a convenient means for investors to earn
current income at money market rates with minimal risk of fluctuation of
principal.
Shares of the Funds are offered primarily to clients of PaineWebber and its
correspondent firms who are participants in the RMA and BSA programs. Shares of
the Funds may be offered to PaineWebber clients with other types of accounts
under certain limited circumstances.
Tax-Free Fund, California Municipal Money Fund, New Jersey Municipal Money
Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund (referred to collectively in this
Prospectus as the "Municipal Funds") are not suitable for tax-exempt
institutions or qualified retirement plans, because those investors cannot take
advantage of the tax-exempt character of these Funds' dividends.
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO AND U.S. GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO are designed for
investors seeking liquidity and current income. They provide a convenient means
for investors to earn current income at money market rates with minimal risk of
fluctuation of principal.
TAX-FREE FUND is designed for investors seeking liquidity and current income
that is exempt from federal income tax. It provides a convenient means for
investors to earn current tax-free income at money market rates with minimal
risk of fluctuation of principal.

<PAGE>
CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND is designed for investors seeking liquidity
and current income that is exempt from federal income tax and California
personal income tax. The Fund provides a convenient means for California
investors to earn current tax-free income at money market rates with minimal
risk of fluctuation of principal.
NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND is designed for investors seeking liquidity
and current income that is exempt from federal income tax and New Jersey
personal income tax. The Fund provides a convenient means for New Jersey
investors to earn current tax-free income at money market rates with minimal
risk of fluctuation of principal.
NEW YORK MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND is designed for investors seeking liquidity
and current income that is exempt from federal income tax and New York State and
New York City personal income taxes. The Fund provides a convenient means for
New York investors to earn current tax-free income at money market rates with
minimal risk of fluctuation of principal.
RISK FACTORS. There can be no assurance that any Fund will achieve its
investment objective. While the types of money market instruments in which each
Fund invests generally are considered to have low risk of loss of principal or
interest, these securities are not completely risk free. In addition, during
periods when interest rates are declining or rising, a Fund's yield will tend to
lag behind prevailing short-term interest rates. The Money Market Fund may
invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers, which may
present a greater degree of risk than investments in securities of domestic
issuers. See "Investment Objectives and Policies" for more information about
this risk factor and those described below.
THE CONCENTRATION OF THE INVESTMENTS OF CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND, NEW
JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND AND NEW YORK MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND IN SECURITIES
ISSUED BY A SINGLE STATE OR ENTITIES WITHIN THAT STATE MAY SUBJECT THOSE FUNDS
TO GREATER RISKS THAN A MONEY MARKET FUND THAT HAS A BROADER RANGE OF
INVESTMENTS. Investors should be aware that each of the states of California,
New Jersey and New York (the "States") experienced economic recessions during
the late 1980's and/or early 1990's, and the credit ratings assigned to the
general obligation bonds of each State were reduced by at least one rating
agency since 1990. In particular, the State of New York and many of its agencies
and local governments have been experiencing, and continue to experience,
significant financial difficulties. There can be no assurance that one or more
of the States will not experience financial difficulties in the future, which
may lead to reductions in the credit standings of such States and possibly of
certain local governments (including New York City).
The status of California Municipal Money Fund, New Jersey Municipal Money
Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund as "non-diversified" investment companies
and the ability of each Municipal Fund to invest more than 25% of its total
assets in securities the interest on which is paid from similar types of
projects may further increase the risk of an investment in those Funds.

* See "Management" for additional information. The fees and expenses shown are
based on those actually incurred for each Fund's most recent fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998, except that the 12b-1 fees for U.S. Government
Portfolio, Tax-Free Fund, Fund California Municipal Money Fund and New York
Municipal Money Fund are shown at the current contract rate of 0.125%
(rounded to 0.13% for the Table above). PaineWebber currently charges an
annual $85 account charge for the RMA program including the Gold
MasterCard-Registered Trademark- without the Bank One Line of Credit. The
fee for clients who choose the Line of Credit for their Gold MasterCard is
$125. The annual account charge for the BSA program, including the
MasterCard BusinessCard-Registered Trademark- is $125 ($165 with a
MasterCard Line of Credit). The account charges are not included in the
table because certain non-RMA and non-BSA participants are permitted to
purchase shares of the Funds.

EXAMPLE OF EFFECT OF FUND EXPENSES
An investor would pay directly or indirectly the following expenses on a
$1,000 investment in each Fund, assuming a 5% annual return:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1 YEAR 3 YEARS 5 YEARS 10 YEARS
------ ------- ------- --------
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Money Market Portfolio.................. $ 6 $19 $33 $ 75
U.S. Government Portfolio............... $ 6 $19 $33 $ 75
Tax-Free Fund........................... $ 6 $20 $34 $ 76
California Municipal Money Fund......... $ 7 $22 $38 $ 85
New Jersey Municipal Money Fund......... $ 9 $27 $47 $105
New York Municipal Money Fund........... $ 7 $22 $38 $ 85
</TABLE>
This Example assumes that all dividends are reinvested and that the
percentage amounts listed under Annual Fund Operating Expenses remain the same
in the years shown. The above tables and the assumption in the Example of a 5%
annual return are required by regulations of the SEC applicable to all mutual
funds; the assumed 5% annual return is not a prediction of, and does not
represent, any Fund's projected or actual performance.
THE EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES, AND EACH FUND'S ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE
SHOWN. The actual expenses of each Fund will depend upon, among other things,
the level of average net assets and the extent to which each Fund incurs
variable expenses, such as transfer agency costs.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The investment objective of both Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government
Portfolio is to provide maximum current income consistent with liquidity and
conservation of capital. Each Fund seeks to meet this objective by following
different investment policies. Tax-Free Fund's investment objective is to
provide maximum current income exempt from federal income tax consistent with
liquidity and conservation of capital. California Municipal Money Fund's
investment objective is to provide maximum current income exempt from federal
income tax and California personal income tax consistent with liquidity and
conservation of capital. New Jersey Municipal Money Fund's objective is the
maximization of current income exempt from federal income tax and New Jersey
personal income tax for residents of the State of New Jersey, consistent with
the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. New York Municipal
Money Fund's investment objective is to provide maximum current income exempt
from federal income tax and New York State and New York City personal income
taxes consistent with liquidity and conservation of capital.
Each Fund maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days
or less, and purchases only those obligations that Mitchell Hutchins determines,
pursuant to procedures adopted by the applicable Corporation's board of
directors or Trust's board of trustees (each a "board"), present minimal credit
risks. In managing each Fund's portfolio, Mitchell Hutchins may employ a number
of professional money management techniques, including varying the composition
and the weighted average maturity of each Fund's portfolio based upon its
assessment of the relative values of various money market instruments and future
interest rate patterns, in order to respond to changing economic and money
market conditions and to shifts in fiscal and monetary policy. Mitchell Hutchins
may also seek to improve a Fund's yield by purchasing or selling securities to
take advantage of yield disparities among similar or dissimilar money market
instruments that regularly occur in the money markets.
Money Market Portfolio and Tax-Free Fund each generally may invest no more
than 5% of its total assets in the securities of a single issuer (other than
securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities).
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
Money Market Portfolio invests in high quality money market instruments
having or deemed to have remaining maturities of 13 months or less. These
instruments include (1) U.S. government securities, (2) obligations of U.S. and
foreign banks, (3) commercial paper and other short-term obligations of U.S and
foreign companies, governments and similar entities, including variable and
floating rate securities and participation interests, and (4) repurchase
agreements involving any of the foregoing.
The U.S. government securities in which Money Market Portfolio may invest
include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury (such as Treasury bills, notes
and bonds) and obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and
instrumentalities, including securities that are supported by the full faith and
credit of the United States (such as Government National Mortgage Association
certificates ("GNMAs")), securities supported primarily or solely by the
creditworthiness of the issuer (such as securities of the Resolution Funding
Corporation and the Tennessee Valley Authority) and securities that are
supported primarily or solely by specific pools of assets and the
creditworthiness of a U.S. government-related issuer (such as mortgage-backed
securities issued by Fannie Mae, also known as
11
<PAGE>
the Federal National Mortgage Association, and Freddie Mac, also known as the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation).
Money Market Portfolio may invest in obligations (including certificates of
deposit, bankers' acceptances, time deposits and similar obligations) of U.S.
and foreign banks having total assets at the time of purchase in excess of $1.5
billion. The Fund may invest in non-negotiable time deposits of U.S. banks,
savings associations and similar depository institutions having total assets in
excess of $1.5 billion at the time of purchase only if the time deposits have
maturities of seven days or less.
The securities purchased by Money Market Portfolio consist only of
obligations that are "First Tier Securities" as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"). As so defined, First Tier
Securities include securities that are rated in the highest short-term rating
category by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations
("NRSROs") or by one NRSRO if only one NRSRO has assigned the obligation a
short-term rating. First Tier Securities also include unrated securities if
Mitchell Hutchins has determined the obligations to be of comparable quality to
rated securities that so qualify. The Fund may also purchase participation
interests in any of the securities in which it is permitted to invest.
Participation interests are pro rata interests in securities held by others.
U.S. GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO
U.S. Government Portfolio invests in U.S. government securities having or
deemed to have remaining maturities of 13 months or less and repurchase
agreements secured by U.S. government securities. Under investment guidelines
adopted by its board, the Fund currently invests only in securities, such as
U.S. Treasury bills, Treasury notes and GNMAs, that are backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States and repurchase agreements secured by such
securities. These guidelines may be modified by the Corporation's board without
shareholder approval. U.S. government securities in which the Fund would
otherwise be authorized to invest include obligations supported primarily or
solely by the creditworthiness of the issuer.
TAX-FREE FUND
Tax-Free Fund invests substantially all of its assets in high quality money
market instruments having or deemed to have remaining maturities of 13 months or
less issued by states, municipalities, public authorities and other issuers, the
interest from which is exempt from federal income tax ("Municipal Securities").
The Fund purchases only those Municipal Securities that are First Tier
Securities. These Municipal Securities include municipal notes, municipal
commercial paper, municipal bonds, floating and variable rate municipal
obligations and participation interests in municipal bonds and floating and
variable rate obligations. Municipal bonds include industrial development bonds
("IDBs"), private activity bonds ("PABs"), moral obligation bonds, municipal
lease obligations and certificates of participation therein and put bonds. The
interest on most PABs is an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal
alternative minimum tax ("AMT"). Under normal market conditions, the Fund
intends to invest in Municipal Securities that pay interest that is not an item
of tax preference for purposes of the AMT ("AMT exempt interest"), but may
invest up to 20% of its total assets in such securities if, in Mitchell
Hutchins' judgment, market conditions warrant. The principal Municipal
Securities in which the Fund invests are described in the Appendix to this
Prospectus.

<PAGE>
CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
Except for temporary purposes, California Municipal Money Fund invests at
least 80% and seeks to invest 100% of its net assets in Municipal Securities
issued by the State of California, its municipalities and public authorities and
other issuers if such obligations pay interest that is exempt from federal
income tax as well as California personal income tax ("California Municipal
Securities").
California Municipal Money Fund invests in high quality California Municipal
Securities having or deemed to have remaining maturities of 13 months or less.
These instruments include the types of Municipal Securities identified above for
the Tax-Free Fund and further described in the Appendix to this Prospectus.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund intends to invest in California
Municipal Securities that pay AMT exempt interest, but may invest without limit
in securities that pay interest that is subject to the AMT if, in Mitchell
Hutchins' judgment, market conditions warrant. The California Municipal
Securities purchased by the Fund consist only of First Tier Securities.
NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
Except for temporary purposes, New Jersey Municipal Money Fund invests at
least 65% of its total assets, and seeks to invest 100% of its net assets, in
Municipal Securities issued by the State of New Jersey, its municipalities and
public authorities if such obligations pay interest that is exempt from federal
income tax as well as New Jersey personal income tax ("New Jersey Municipal
Securities"). Except for temporary purposes, the Fund invests at least 80% of
its net assets in Municipal Securities.
New Jersey Municipal Money Fund invests in high quality New Jersey Municipal
Securities having or deemed to have remaining maturities of 13 months or less.
These instruments include the types of Municipal Securities identified above for
Tax-Free Fund and further described in the Appendix to this Prospectus. Under
normal market conditions, the Fund may invest in securities that pay interest
that is subject to the AMT. The New Jersey Municipal Securities purchased by the
Fund consist only of First Tier Securities.
NEW YORK MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
Except for temporary purposes, New York Municipal Money Fund invests at
least 80% and seeks to invest 100% of its net assets in Municipal Securities
issued by the State of New York, its municipalities and public authorities and
other issuers if such obligations pay interest that is exempt from federal
income tax as well as New York State and New York City personal income taxes
("New York Municipal Securities").
New York Municipal Money Fund invests in high quality New York Municipal
Securities having or deemed to have remaining maturities of 13 months or less.
These instruments include the types of Municipal Securities identified above for
the Tax-Free Fund and further described in the Appendix to this Prospectus.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund intends to invest in New York Municipal
Securities that pay AMT exempt interest, but may invest without limit in
securities that pay interest that is subject to the AMT if, in Mitchell
Hutchins' judgment, market conditions warrant. The New York Municipal Securities
purchased by the Fund consist only of First Tier Securities.
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES AND
RISK FACTORS
U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government
Portfolio may invest in separately traded principal and interest components of
securities issued or guaranteed by
13
<PAGE>
the U.S. Treasury, which are traded independently under the Separate Trading of
Registered Interest and Principal of Securities ("STRIPS") program. Under the
STRIPS program, the principal and interest components are individually numbered
and separately issued by the U.S. Treasury. The staff of the SEC currently takes
the position that interests in "stripped" U.S. government securities that are
not part of the STRIPS program are not U.S. government securities.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES. The Funds may purchase variable and
floating rate securities with remaining maturities in excess of 13 months issued
by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities or guaranteed by the U.S.
government (Money Market and U.S. Government Portfolios). In addition, Money
Market Portfolio may purchase variable and floating rate securities of other
issuers, and the Municipal Funds may purchase such securities of municipal
issuers, including tender option bonds. Tender option bonds are long-term
municipal securities sold by a bank or other financial institution subject to a
demand feature that gives the purchaser the right to tender them to the bank or
other financial institution at par plus accrued interest at designated times.
The Funds will only purchase these other types of variable and floating rate
securities with remaining maturities in excess of 13 months if the securities
are subject to a demand feature exercisable within 13 months or less. The yields
on these securities are adjusted in relation to changes in specific rates, such
as the prime rate, and different securities may have different adjustment rates.
The Funds' investments in these securities must comply with conditions
established by the SEC under which they may be considered to have remaining
maturities of 13 months or less. Certain of these obligations carry a demand
feature that gives a Fund the right to tender them back to the issuer or a
remarketing agent and receive the principal amount of the security prior to
maturity. The demand feature may be backed by letters of credit or other
liquidity support arrangements provided by banks or other financial
institutions, whose credit standing affects the credit quality of the
obligation. Changes in the credit quality of these institutions could cause
losses to a Fund and affect its share price.
VARIABLE AMOUNT MASTER DEMAND NOTES. Securities purchased by Money Market
Portfolio may include variable amount master demand notes, which are unsecured
redeemable obligations that permit investment of varying amounts at fluctuating
interest rates under a direct agreement between the Fund and the issuer. The
principal amount of these notes may be increased from time to time by the
parties (subject to specified maximums) or decreased by the Fund or the issuer.
These notes are payable on demand and may or may not be rated.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio
each may enter into repurchase agreements with respect to any security in which
that Fund is authorized to invest, except that securities subject to repurchase
agreements may have maturities in excess of 13 months. Each Municipal Fund may
enter into repurchase agreements with respect to U.S. government securities,
commercial paper, bank certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances.
Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund purchases obligations
from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate) and simultaneously commits
to resell the obligations to that counterparty at an agreed upon date or upon
demand and at a price reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to the
coupon rate or maturity of the purchased obligations. Each Fund maintains
custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through
its regular custodian or through a special "tri-party" custodian or
sub-custodian that maintains separate accounts for both the Fund and its
counterparty. Thus, the obligation of the counterparty to pay the repurchase
price on the date agreed to or
14
<PAGE>
upon demand is, in effect, secured by such obligations.
Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with direct
investments in securities, including possible decline in the market value of the
underlying securities and delays and costs to a Fund if the other party to the
repurchase agreement becomes insolvent. Repurchase agreements involving
obligations other than U.S. government securities (such as commercial paper and
corporate bonds) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of
certain protections in the event of the counterparty's insolvency. If the seller
or guarantor becomes insolvent, a Fund may suffer delays, costs and possible
losses in connection with the disposition of collateral. The Funds intend to
enter into repurchase agreements only with counterparties in transactions
believed by Mitchell Hutchins to present minimal credit risks in accordance with
guidelines established by the applicable boards. The Municipal Funds do not
intend to enter into repurchase agreements except as a temporary measure and
under unusual circumstances.
PURCHASE AND SALE TRANSACTIONS. Each Fund may enter into simultaneous
purchase and sale transactions. The counterparty in a simultaneous purchase and
sale transaction with a Fund agrees to buy from the Fund the same or a similar
security to the security it is selling to the Fund at a mutually agreed-upon
time and price. The difference between the purchase cost and sale proceeds
(which includes the accrued interest on the security) determines the yield
during the term of the transaction. The Fund does not have the right to require
the counterparty to provide additional collateral if the market value of the
securities purchased by the Fund falls below the price at which the securities
are to be sold to the counterparty. In addition, in purchase and sale
transactions, full legal title to the securities sold to a Fund is transferred
to the Fund. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund's return on the transaction
is determined by the difference between the market value of the security bought
by the Fund and the amount paid by the Fund, plus related accrued interest. The
Fund would have rights against a defaulting counterparty for breach of contract
with respect to any losses that result from those market fluctuations.
FOREIGN SECURITIES. Money Market Portfolio may invest in U.S.
dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers, including debt securities of
foreign banks, corporations, governments and similar entitites. Such investments
may consist of obligations of foreign and domestic branches of foreign banks and
foreign branches of domestic banks. Such investments may involve risks that are
different from investments in U.S. issuers. These risks may include future
unfavorable political and economic developments, possible withholding taxes,
seizure of foreign deposits, currency controls, interest limitations or other
governmental restrictions that might affect the payment of principal or interest
on the securities held by Money Market Portfolio. Additionally, there may be
less publicly available information about foreign issuers, as these issuers may
not be subject to the same regulatory requirements as domestic issuers.
MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS. While the types of money market instruments in
which the Funds invest generally are considered to have low risk of loss of
principal or interest, they are not completely risk free. An issuer or guarantor
may be unable or unwilling to pay interest or repay principal on its obligations
for many reasons, including adverse changes in its own financial condition or in
economic conditions generally.
During periods when interest rates are declining or rising, the Funds'
yields will tend to lag behind prevailing short-term market rates. This means
that in periods of declining interest rates, the Funds' yields will tend to be
somewhat higher than prevailing short-term market rates, and in periods of
rising interest rates the opposite
15
<PAGE>
generally will be true. Also, when interest rates are falling, net cash inflows
from the continuous sale of a Fund's shares are likely to be invested in
portfolio instruments producing lower yields than the balance of that Fund's
portfolio, thereby reducing its yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the
opposite can be true. There can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve
their investment objectives.
YEAR 2000 RISKS. Like other mutual funds, financial and business
organizations around the world, the Funds could be adversely affected if the
computer systems used by Mitchell Hutchins, other service providers and entities
with computer systems that are linked to the Funds' records do not properly
process and calculate date-related information and data from and after January
1, 2000. This is commonly known as the "Year 2000 Issue." Mitchell Hutchins is
taking steps that it believes are reasonably designed to address the Year 2000
Issue with respect to the computer systems that it uses and to obtain
satisfactory assurances that comparable steps are being taken by the Funds'
other major service providers. However, there can be no assurance that these
steps will be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact on the Funds.
LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Each Fund may lend its securities to
qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors in an amount up to 33 1/3%
of its total assets. Lending securities enables a Fund to earn additional income
but could result in a loss or delay in recovering these securities. Because the
income earned through securities lending is taxable, the Municipal Funds do not
expect to engage in securities lending except under unusual circumstances.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. The Funds may also purchase securities on a
"when-issued" basis, that is, for delivery beyond the normal settlement date at
a stated price and yield. A Fund generally would not pay for such securities or
start earning interest on them until they are received. However, when a Fund
purchases securities on a when-issued basis, it immediately assumes the risks of
ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. Failure by the issuer to
deliver a security purchased on a when-issued basis may result in a loss or
missed opportunity to make an alternative investment. Each Municipal Fund
expects that commitments to purchase when-issued securities normally will not
exceed 25% of its assets (20% in the case of New Jersey Municipal Money Fund).
SPECIAL RISK CONSIDERATIONS--
CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND, NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND AND NEW YORK
MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND
Each of these Funds concentrates its investments in securities issued by a
single State or entities within that State. In addition, each of these Funds may
invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in Municipal Securities
that are related in such a way that an economic, business or political
development or change affecting one such security would also affect the other
securities, such as securities the interest on which is paid from revenues of
similar types of projects. These Funds may be subject to greater risk than other
money market funds that do not follow these practices.
These Funds are "non-diversified," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act,
but each intends to continue to qualify as a "regulated investment company" for
federal income tax purposes. See "Dividends and Taxes." This means, in general,
that more than 5% of each Fund's total assets may be invested in securities of
one issuer, but only if, at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable
year, the aggregate amount of such holdings does not exceed 50% of the value of
its total assets and no more than 25% of the value of its total assets is
invested in the securities of a single issuer. Each Fund will invest no more
than 10%
16
<PAGE>
of its net assets in illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements with
maturities in excess of seven days. In order to facilitate portfolio liquidity
in unusual market conditions, a Municipal Fund may acquire standby commitments
from municipal bond dealers who would agree to purchase the Municipal Securities
that are the subject of the commitments. Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, however,
generally requires that the securities of a single issuer may not exceed 5% of a
Fund's total assets with respect to at least 75% of its assets. Nonetheless,
each Fund may be subject to greater risk with respect to its portfolio
securities than a "diversified" money market fund, because changes in the
financial condition or market assessment of a single issuer may cause greater
fluctuation in that Fund's yield or affect that Fund's ability to maintain a
constant net asset value per share.
As noted above, Municipal Funds purchase First Tier Securities. References
in the discussion that follows to the credit ratings assigned to certain State
obligations are intended to assist an investor in understanding a State's
perceived general economic health as of the date of this prospectus. The
standards that must be met in order for a given security to be considered for
purchase by a Municipal Fund are independent criteria.
RISKS OF CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. California Municipal Money Fund's
investment concentration in California Municipal Securities involves greater
risks than if it selected its investments from a broader geographic region. The
Fund's yield and ability to maintain a constant net asset value per share can be
affected by political and economic developments within the State of California
and by the financial condition of California, its public authorities and
political subdivisions. Following a severe recession from 1990-1993 which
resulted in broad-based revenue shortfalls for the State and many local
governments, California has been in a sustained economic recovery since 1994
which is outpacing the national economy. Although State tax revenues have grown
strongly and created budget surpluses in recent years, many local governments
continue to operate under financial constraints. During the recession, State
assistance to local governments was reduced, and has not been fully restored.
California's long-term credit rating was reduced in the early 1990's, but was
raised in 1996 by Fitch Investors Service, L.P. ("Fitch") and Standard & Poor's,
a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P" or "Standard & Poor's").
California's general obligation bonds were rated "A+" by Standard & Poor's, "A1"
by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") and "AA-" by Fitch in August
1998.
In the past, California voters have passed amendments to the California
Constitution and other measures that limit the taxing and spending authority of
California governmental entities and future voter initiatives could result in
adverse consequences affecting California Municipal Securities. These factors,
among others (including the outcome of related pending litigation), could reduce
the credit standing of certain issuers of California Municipal Securities. A
more detailed discussion of the risks of investing in California Municipal
Securities is included in the Statement of Additional Information.
RISKS OF NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. New Jersey Municipal Money Fund's
investment concentration in New Jersey Municipal Securities involves greater
risks than if it selected its investments from a broader geographic region. The
Fund's yield and ability to maintain a constant net asset value per share can be
affected by political and economic developments within the State of New Jersey
and by the financial condition of New Jersey, its public authorities and
political subdivisions. Although New Jersey enjoyed a period of economic growth
with unemployment levels below the national average during the mid-1980s, New
Jersey's economy slowed down well before
17
<PAGE>
the onset of the national recession, which, according to the National Bureau of
Economic Research, began in July 1990. Reflecting the economic downturn, New
Jersey's unemployment rate rose from a low of 3.6% in the first quarter of 1989
to a recessionary peak of 8.5% during 1992. Since then, the State's unemployment
rate fell to 6.2% during 1996 and 5.5% for the six month period from January
through June 1997. As a result of New Jersey's fiscal weakness, in July 1991 S&P
lowered its rating of the State's AAA general obligation debt to AA+.
Moody's and Fitch each had rated New Jersey general obligation bonds Aa(1)
and AA+, respectively as. A more detailed discussion of the risks of investing
in New Jersey Municipal Securities is included in the Statement of Additional
Information.
RISKS OF NEW YORK MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. New York Municipal Money Fund's
investment concentration in New York Municipal Securities involves greater risks
than if it selected its investments from a broader geographic region. The Fund's
yield and ability to maintain a constant net asset value per share can be
affected by political and economic developments within the State of New York and
by the financial condition of the State, its public authorities and political
subdivisions, particularly the City of New York (the "City"). The State reduced
its accumulated General Fund deficits and experienced operating surpluses in
fiscal year ("FY") 1991-92 through 1993-94, an operating deficit of $1.426
billion for FY 1994-95 and a modest General Fund surplus for FY 1995-96. The
State ended its FY 1996-97 and FY 1997-98 with a General Fund cash surplus of
approximately $1.42 billion and $2.04 billion, respectively. Although the FY
1998-99 budget projects a cash balance in the General Fund, the economic and
financial condition of the State may be affected by various financial, social,
economic and political factors. Because of the uncertainty and unpredictability
of changes in these factors, their impact cannot be fully included in the
assumptions underlying the State's projections. In addition, recent changes to
federal entitlement programs and uncertainties stemming from such changes may
materially adversely impact the State's ability to achieve a balanced budget in
future fiscal years. The City (which is constrained in its fiscal flexibility by
an already heavy local tax burden, urgent social needs and its extensive and
deteriorating infrastructure) and most suburban county governments have
experienced serious fiscal problems related to the recessionary performance of
the regional economy, which has caused substantial, broad-based and recurring
revenue shortfalls. Both the State of New York's credit rating and the City's
credit rating have been, and could be further, reduced; and their ability to
provide assistance to public authorities and political subdivisions has been,
and could be further, impaired. New York's general obligation bonds were rated A
by Moody's, A by S&P and A+ by Fitch as of August 1998. A more detailed
discussion of the risks of investing in New York Municipal Securities is
included in the Statement of Additional Information.
OTHER INFORMATION
When Mitchell Hutchins believes that there is an insufficient supply of the
type of Municipal Securities in which a Municipal Fund primarily invests, or
during other unusual market conditions, that Municipal Fund temporarily may
invest all or any portion of its net assets in other types of Municipal
Securities. In addition, when Mitchell Hutchins believes that there is an
insufficient supply of any type of Municipal Securities or that other
circumstances warrant a defensive posture, each Municipal Fund may hold cash and
may invest all or any portion of its net assets in taxable money market
instruments, including repurchase agreements. To the extent that a Fund holds
cash, such cash would not earn income and would reduce the Fund's yield.
18
<PAGE>
Each Fund may borrow money for temporary purposes, but not in excess of 10%
of its total assets (15% of net assets in the case of New Jersey Municipal Money
Fund). Borrowings by Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio may
include reverse repurchase agreements involving up to 5% of each Fund's net
assets.
Each Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in the securities of
other money market funds with similar investment policies. To the extent a Fund
invests in other money market funds, its shareholders incur duplicative fees and
expenses, including investment advisory fees. Future federal, state and local
laws may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of interest on Municipal
Securities held by one of the Municipal Funds or of the exempt-interest
dividends paid by the Municipal Funds, extend the time for payment of principal
or interest or otherwise constrain enforcement of such obligations. Opinions
relating to the validity of Municipal Securities and the tax-exempt status of
interest thereon are rendered by the issuer's bond counsel at the time of
issuance; Mitchell Hutchins will rely on such opinions without independent
verification.
New forms of money market instruments continue to be developed. The Funds
may invest in such instruments to the extent consistent with their investment
objectives.
A Fund's investment objective may not be changed without the approval of its
shareholders. California Municipal Money Fund's investment policy of investing
at least 80% of its net assets in California Municipal Securities and the
similar investment policy of New York Municipal Money Fund and New Jersey
Municipal Money Fund relating to investments in New York Municipal Securities
and New Jersey Municipal Securities, respectively, may not be changed without
approval of the appropriate Fund's shareholders. Certain other investment
limitations, as described in the Statement of Additional Information, also may
not be changed without shareholder approval. All other investment policies may
be changed by the applicable board without shareholder approval.
PURCHASES
THE RMA AND BSA PROGRAMS. Shares of each Fund are available primarily
through the RMA and BSA programs. RMA and BSA participants are asked to select
one of the Funds as their designated portfolio ("Primary Sweep Money Fund").
Investors will have all free credit cash balances of over $1 (including proceeds
from securities sold) in the account invested in the Primary Sweep Money Fund.
Each Fund and PaineWebber reserve the right to reject any purchase order and to
suspend the offering of Fund shares for a period of time.
Investors who choose one Fund as their Primary Sweep Money Fund may also
purchase shares of another Fund by contacting their PaineWebber Investment
Executive or correspondent firms. Minimum purchase and maintenance requirements,
however, may apply to purchases of shares of a Fund other than the investor's
Primary Sweep Money Fund.
Certain features available to RMA and BSA participants are summarized in the
Appendices to the Statement of Additional Information. The RMA and BSA programs
are more fully described in separate materials your Investment Executive can
provide you. The availability of Fund shares to customers of PaineWebber's
correspondent firms varies depending on the arrangements between PaineWebber and
such firms.
19
<PAGE>
An order to purchase shares of a Fund will be executed on the Business Day
on which federal funds become available to the Fund, at the Fund's next
determined net asset value per share. "Federal funds" are funds deposited by a
commercial bank in an account at a Federal Reserve Bank that can be transferred
to a similar account of another bank in one day and thus may be made immediately
available to the Fund through its custodian. A "Business Day" is any day on
which the Boston offices of the Fund's custodian, State Street Bank and Trust
Company, and the New York City offices of PaineWebber and PaineWebber's bank are
all open for business.
RMA and BSA participants may change their Primary Sweep Money Fund at any
time by notifying their PaineWebber Investment Executives or correspondent
firms. However, RMA and BSA participants may not have more than one Primary
Sweep Money Fund at a time.
On any Business Day, a Fund will accept purchase orders and credit shares to
investors' accounts as follows.
PURCHASES IN GENERAL. To the extent that amounts transferred by check,
electronic funds transfer credit or wire or from funds held at PaineWebber into
an investor's brokerage account create a free credit cash balance, that cash
balance will be automatically invested in the investor's Primary Sweep Money
Fund, as described above under "The RMA and BSA Programs," when federal funds
are available for the investment. Fund shares will not be purchased until all
Debits and Charges (each as defined below) in a shareholder's RMA or BSA
brokerage account are satisfied. See "Redemptions-- Automatic Redemptions." RMA
or BSA participants wishing to invest amounts transferred in one of the other
Funds should so instruct their PaineWebber Investment Executives or
correspondent firms. All other shareholders should consult their PaineWebber
Investment Executives or correspondent firms for information on how to purchase
Fund shares.
PURCHASES WITH FUNDS HELD AT PAINEWEBBER. Investors may invest in Fund
shares with funds held in their brokerage account, including funds from the sale
of securities, as described above under "Purchases in General." Federal funds
normally are available for cash balances arising from the sale of securities
held in a brokerage account on the Business Day following settlement, but in
some cases can take longer.
PURCHASES BY CHECK OR ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER CREDIT. RMA and BSA
participants may purchase Fund shares by depositing into their account checks
drawn on a U.S. bank. The RMA or BSA participant's brokerage account number
should be included on the check.
As noted above, shares of the participant's Primary Sweep Money Fund will be
purchased when federal funds are available. Federal funds are deemed available
to a Fund two Business Days after deposit of a personal check and/or an
Electronic Funds Transfer credit initiated by PaineWebber and one Business Day
after deposit of a cashier's or certified check. PaineWebber may benefit from
the temporary use of the proceeds of personal checks and Electronic Funds
Transfer credits to the extent those funds are converted to federal funds in
fewer than two Business Days.
PURCHASES BY WIRE. RMA and BSA participants may also purchase shares of
their Primary Sweep Money Fund or another Fund by instructing their banks to
transfer federal funds by wire to their RMA or BSA account. Wire transfers
should be directed to: The Bank of New York, ABA 021000018, PaineWebber Inc.,
A/C
20
<PAGE>
890-0114-088, OBI=FBO [Account Name]/[Brokerage Account Number]. The wire must
include the investor's name and RMA or BSA brokerage account number. RMA or BSA
participants wishing to transfer federal funds into their accounts should
contact their PaineWebber Investment Executives or correspondent firms to
determine the appropriate wire instructions.
If PaineWebber receives a notice from an investor's bank of a wire transfer
of federal funds by 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on a Business Day, the automatic
investment will be executed on that Business Day. Otherwise, the automatic
investment will be executed at 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on the next Business
Day. PaineWebber and/or an investor's bank may impose a service charge for wire
transfers.
REDEMPTIONS
Shareholders may redeem (sell) any number of shares from their Fund accounts
by wire, by telephone or by mail. Shares will be redeemed at the net asset value
per share next determined after receipt by the Funds' transfer agent ("Transfer
Agent") of instructions from PaineWebber to redeem. PaineWebber delivers such
instructions to the Transfer Agent prior to the determination of net asset value
at 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on any Business Day.
AUTOMATIC REDEMPTIONS. Under the RMA and BSA programs, PaineWebber will
redeem Fund shares automatically to satisfy outstanding "Debits" and "Charges."
"Debits" are amounts due PaineWebber on settlement date for securities purchases
and other debits in the investor's RMA or BSA brokerage account, including
margin loans, any federal funds wires arranged by PaineWebber and fees for such
wires and PaineWebber checks and fees for such checks. "Charges" are RMA or BSA
checks, MasterCard purchases, cash advances, Bill Payment Service checks and
Automated Clearing House transfers, including Electronic Funds Transfer Debits.
Shares are redeemed to cover Debits on the day the Debit is generated. Shares
are redeemed to cover RMA or BSA checks and MasterCard cash advances on the day
they are paid. Shares are redeemed to cover MasterCard purchases at the end of
the MasterCard monthly billing period. Shares are also redeemed to cover
interest due on and credit extended and outstanding under the Bank One Line of
Credit at the end of the MasterCard monthly billing period. Securities purchases
are automatically paid for on settlement date.
ORDER OF REDEMPTION. If a shareholder owns shares of more than one Fund,
shares of the Primary Sweep Money Fund are always redeemed first; thereafter,
shares held in the other Funds will be redeemed, if necessary, in the following
order: first, Money Market Portfolio; second, U.S. Government Portfolio; third,
Tax-Free Fund; and fourth, New York Municipal Money Fund, California Municipal
Money Fund or New Jersey Municipal Money Fund.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON REDEMPTIONS. Shareholders with questions about
redemption requirements should consult their PaineWebber Investment Executives
or correspondent firms. Shareholders who redeem all their shares will receive
cash credits to their RMA or BSA brokerage accounts for dividends earned on
those shares to (but not including) the day of redemption. The redemption price
may be more or less than the purchase price, depending on the market value of
the Fund's portfolio; however, each Fund anticipates that its net asset value
per share will normally be $1.00 per share. See "Valuation of Shares."
21
<PAGE>
Because each Fund incurs certain fixed costs in maintaining shareholder
accounts, each Fund reserves the right to establish minimum initial purchase
requirements and to redeem Fund shares in any shareholder account of less than
$500 net asset value. If a Fund elects to do so, it will notify the shareholder
and provide the shareholder with an opportunity to increase the amount invested
to $500 or more within 60 days of the notice. This notice may appear on the
shareholder's account statement. If a shareholder requests redemption of shares
that were purchased recently, a Fund may delay payment until it is assured that
it has received good payment for the purchase of the shares. In the case of
purchases by check, this can take up to 15 days.
PaineWebber has the right to terminate an RMA or BSA brokerage account for
any reason. In such event, all Fund shares held in the shareholder's RMA or BSA
brokerage account will be redeemed and the proceeds sent to the shareholder
within three Business Days.
VALUATION OF SHARES
Each Fund uses its best efforts to maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per
share. Each Fund's net asset value per share is determined by dividing the value
of the securities plus any cash or other assets held by the Fund less all its
liabilities by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Each Fund's net asset
value is computed once each Business Day at 12:00 noon, Eastern time.
Each Fund values its portfolio securities using the amortized cost method of
valuation, under which market value is approximated by amortizing the difference
between the acquisition cost and value at maturity of an instrument on a
straight-line basis over its remaining life. All cash, receivables and current
payables are carried at their face value. Other assets are valued at fair value
as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the applicable board.
DIVIDENDS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS. Each Business Day, each Fund declares as dividends all of its
net investment income. Shares begin earning dividends on the day they are
purchased; dividends are accrued to shareholder accounts daily and are
automatically paid in additional Fund shares monthly. Shares do not earn
dividends on the day they are redeemed. Net investment income includes accrued
interest and earned discount (including both original issue and market
discounts), less amortization of premium and accrued expenses. Any amounts from
accretion of market discounts on Municipal Securities, which are taxable to each
Municipal Fund's shareholders, are included in the daily dividends.
Each Fund distributes any net short-term capital gain annually but may make
more frequent distributions of such gain if necessary to maintain its net asset
value per share at $1.00 or to avoid income or excise taxes. The Funds do not
expect to realize net long-term capital gain and thus do not anticipate payment
of any long-term capital gain distributions.
FEDERAL TAX. Each Fund intends to continue to qualify for treatment as a
regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code so that it
will be relieved of federal income tax on that part of its investment company
taxable income (consisting generally of taxable net investment income and net
short-term capital gain, if any) that it distributes to its shareholders.
Dividends paid by Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio
generally are taxable to their shareholders as ordinary income, notwithstanding
that such dividends are paid in
22
<PAGE>
additional Fund shares. Shareholders not subject to tax on their income,
however, generally are not required to pay tax on amounts distributed to them.
Distributions by a Municipal Fund that it designates as "exempt-interest
dividends" generally may be excluded from gross income by a shareholder.
Interest on indebtedness incurred by a shareholder to purchase or carry shares
of a Municipal Fund is not deductible.
Each Fund notifies its shareholders following the end of each calendar year
of the tax status of all distributions paid (or deemed paid) during that year.
The notice sent by each Municipal Fund specifies the amount of exempt-interest
dividends (and the portion thereof, if any, that is not AMT exempt interest) and
the amount of any taxable dividends.
Each Fund is required to withhold 31% of all taxable dividends payable to
any individuals and certain other non-corporate shareholders who (1) do not
provide the Fund or PaineWebber with a correct taxpayer identification number or
(2) otherwise are subject to backup withholding.
CALIFORNIA TAXES. If California Municipal Money Fund qualifies as a RIC
under the Internal Revenue Code and at least 50% of the value of its total
assets consists of qualifying California Municipal Securities, exempt-interest
dividends derived from interest on qualifying California Municipal Securities
will be exempt from California personal income tax ("California exempt-interest
dividends"), but not California franchise tax. Dividends derived from interest
on other Municipal Securities, taxable income and net capital gains are taxable
under California law at ordinary income rates. Interest on indebtedness incurred
by a shareholder to purchase or carry shares of the Fund is not deductible for
purposes of California personal income tax. California exempt-interest dividends
may affect the calculation of certain adjustments to alternative minimum taxable
income for shareholders that are corporations. Shareholders receive notification
annually stating the portion of the Fund's exempt-interest dividends
attributable to issuers in California and other states. The Fund itself will not
be subject to California franchise or corporate income tax on interest income
distributed to its shareholders.
NEW YORK STATE AND CITY TAXES. If New York Municipal Money Fund qualifies
as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code and at the end of each quarter of its
taxable year at least 50% of its assets is invested in qualifying New York
Municipal Securities, exempt-interest dividends paid by the Fund that are
derived from interest on qualifying New York Municipal Securities will be exempt
from New York State and City personal income taxes, but not corporate franchise
taxes. Dividends derived from interest on other Municipal Securities, taxable
income and net capital gains are not exempt from New York State and City
personal income taxes. Interest on indebtedness incurred by a shareholder to
purchase or carry shares of the Fund is not deductible for purposes of New York
State or City personal income taxes. Shareholders receive notification annually
stating the portion of the Fund's exempt-interest dividends attributable to
issuers in New York State and City and other states.
NEW JERSEY TAXES. New Jersey Municipal Money Fund anticipates that
substantially all dividends paid by it will not be subject to New Jersey
personal income tax. Distributions paid by a "qualified investment fund" will
not be subject to the New Jersey personal income tax to the extent the
distributions are attributable to income received as interest or gain from New
Jersey Municipal Securities, direct U.S. government obligations or certain other
specified obligations.
23
<PAGE>
To be classified as a qualified investment fund, at least 80% of the Fund's
investments must consist of such obligations. Distributions by a qualified
investment fund that are attributable to most other sources will be subject to
the New Jersey personal income tax. If the Fund continues to be classified as a
qualified investment fund, any gain on the redemption of its shares will not be
subject to the New Jersey personal income tax. To the extent a shareholder of
the Fund is obligated to pay state or local taxes outside of New Jersey,
dividends earned by such shareholder may represent taxable income.
New Jersey Municipal Money Fund shares are not subject to property taxation
by New Jersey or its political subdivisions.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. The foregoing is only a summary of some of the
important federal, state and local income tax considerations generally affecting
the Funds and their shareholders; see the Statement of Additional Information
for a further discussion. There may be other federal, state and local tax
considerations applicable to a particular investor. Prospective shareholders are
urged to consult their tax advisers.
MANAGEMENT
Each board, as part of its overall management responsibility, oversees
various organizations responsible for its Fund's day-to-day management.
PaineWebber, the Funds' investment adviser and administrator, provides a
continuous investment program for each Fund and supervises all aspects of its
operations. As sub-adviser to the Funds, Mitchell Hutchins makes and implements
investment decisions and, as sub-administrator, is responsible for the
day-to-day administration of the Funds.
PaineWebber receives a monthly fee for these services. For the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998, the effective advisory and administration fees paid to
PaineWebber as a percentage of a Fund's average daily net assets were as
follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Money Market Portfolio 0.50%
U.S. Government Portfolio 0.43%
Tax-Free Fund 0.44%
California Municipal Money Fund 0.47%
New Jersey Municipal Money Fund 0.50%
New York Municipal Money Fund 0.40%
</TABLE>
PaineWebber (not the Funds) pays Mitchell Hutchins a fee for its sub-advisory
and sub-administration services at an annual rate of 20% of the fee received by
PaineWebber from each Fund for advisory and administrative services.
PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins are located at 1285 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, New York 10019. Mitchell Hutchins is a wholly owned asset
management subsidiary of PaineWebber, which is in turn wholly owned by
PaineWebber Group Inc., a publicly owned financial services holding company. At
July 31, 1998, PaineWebber or Mitchell Hutchins was investment adviser or
sub-adviser to 32 registered investment companies with 69 separate portfolios
and aggregate assets in excess of $40.5 billion.
In accordance with procedures adopted by the Funds' boards, each Fund may
pay fees to PaineWebber for its services as lending agent in its portfolio
securities lending program. Mitchell Hutchins personnel may engage in securities
transactions for their own accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that
establishes procedures for personal investing and restricts certain
transactions.
DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS. PaineWebber is the distributor of each Fund's
shares and each Fund (other than Money Market Portfolio) has a separate plan of
distribution ("Plan"). Under their Plans, U.S. Government Portfolio, Tax-Free
Fund, California Municipal Money Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund each is
authorized to pay PaineWebber a 12b-1 service fee at the annual rate of up to
0.15% of the Fund's
24
<PAGE>
average daily net assets. Each of these Funds currently pays PaineWebber a 12b-1
service fee at the annual rate of 0.125% of its average daily net assets. Any
increase in this annual rate requires prior approval by the applicable board.
Under each Plan, PaineWebber uses the 12b-1 service fee to pay PaineWebber
Investment Executives and correspondent firms for shareholder servicing,
currently at the annual rate of 0.02% of the Fund's average daily net assets
held in accounts serviced by such Investment Executives and correspondent firms.
The fee is also used to offset PaineWebber's other expenses in servicing and
maintaining shareholder accounts. These expenses may include the costs of the
PaineWebber branch office in which the Investment Executive is based, such as
rent, communications equipment, employee salaries and other overhead costs.
During the period they are in effect, each Plan and a related distribution
contract ("Distribution Contract") obligates the affected Fund to pay the 12b-1
service fee to PaineWebber as compensation for its service activities and not as
reimbursement for specific expenses incurred. Thus, even if PaineWebber's
expenses exceed the 12b-1 fee, the Fund will not be obliged to pay more than the
fee, and if PaineWebber's expenses are less than the fee, it will retain its
full fee and realize a profit. Each Fund will pay the 12b-1 fee to PaineWebber
until either the Plan or the Distribution Contract is terminated or not renewed
for that Fund. In that event, PaineWebber's service expenses in excess of fees
received or accrued through the termination date will be PaineWebber's sole
responsibility and not obligations of the Fund.
Under a separate Plan, New Jersey Municipal Money Fund is authorized to
reimburse PaineWebber its expenses for distribution of that Fund's shares at the
annual rate of up to 0.12% of its average daily net assets. The expenses which
may be reimbursed include compensation to Investment Executives and other
employees of PaineWebber, printing of prospectuses and reports for other than
existing shareholders, and the preparation, printing and distribution of sales
literature and advertising materials. It is not anticipated that items
reimbursable under this Plan will generally include any profit to PaineWebber.
The Fund is not authorized to reimburse PaineWebber for expenses incurred more
than 12 months prior to the date of such reimbursement. PaineWebber anticipates
that there will be no carryover of expenses from one year to the next. The
expenses to be reimbursed are for activities primarily intended to result in the
sale of the Fund's shares and the maintenance of Fund accounts and account
balances, and there will be no reimbursement for the expenses relative to
PaineWebber's overhead. PaineWebber currently intends to pay its Investment
Executives at the annual rate of approximately 0.02% of the Fund's average daily
net assets held in accounts serviced by such Investment Executives and to use
the balance received under the Fund's Plan for other activities.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
From time to time each Fund may advertise its "yield" and "effective yield."
Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future performance. The "yield" of a Fund is the income on an
investment in that Fund over a specified seven-day period. This income is then
"annualized" (that is, assumed to be earned each week over a 52-week period) and
shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is calculated
similarly, but when annualized the income earned is assumed to be reinvested.
The "effective yield" will be higher than the "yield" because of the compounding
effect of this assumed reinvestment.
The Municipal Funds may also advertise "tax-equivalent yield" and
"tax-equivalent effective yield." "Tax-equivalent yield" shows the taxable yield
that would produce the same income after a stated rate of taxes as the
respective Fund's tax-exempt yield (yield excluding taxable income), with
adjustments for the portion, if any,
25
<PAGE>
of a Fund's yield that is not tax-exempt. "Tax-equivalent effective yield" shows
the taxable effective yield that would produce the same income after a stated
rate of taxes as the respective Fund's tax-exempt effective yield (effective
yield excluding taxable income), with adjustments for the portion, if any, of a
Fund's yield that is not tax-exempt.
Each Fund may also advertise other performance data, which may consist of
the annual or cumulative return (including realized net short-term capital gain,
if any) earned on a hypothetical investment in the Fund since it began
operations or for shorter periods. This return data may or may not assume
reinvestment of dividends (compounding).
The performance of shareholder accounts with small balances will differ from
the quoted performance because daily income for each shareholder account is
rounded to the nearest whole penny. Accordingly, very small shareholder accounts
(at current interest rates, approximately $36 or less in the case of the Money
Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio, and approximately $60 or less in
the case of Municipal Funds) that generate less than $0.005 per day of income
will earn no dividends.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Money Market and U.S. Government Portfolios are diversified series of
PaineWebber RMA Money Fund, Inc. ("Money Fund Corporation"). Both Tax-Free Fund
and Money Fund Corporation were incorporated in Maryland on July 2, 1982, and
each is registered with the SEC as an open-end, management investment company.
Money Fund Corporation has an authorized capitalization of 60 billion shares of
$0.001 par value common stock, 30 billion and 10 billion of which are designated
as shares of Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio, respectively.
The remaining shares are classified as shares of Money Fund Corporation's third
series. Tax-Free Fund, a diversified investment company, has an authorized
capitalization of 20 billion shares of $0.001 par value common stock.
California Municipal Money Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund are
non-diversified series of PaineWebber Managed Municipal Trust ("Managed
Municipal Trust"). The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment
company and was organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts by Declaration of Trust dated November 21, 1986. The Trust's
board has authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest of separate series, par value $0.001 per share.
New Jersey Municipal Money Fund is a non-diversified series of PaineWebber
Municipal Money Market Series. The Trust is registered as an open-end management
investment company and was organized as a business trust under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts by Declaration of Trust dated September 14, 1990.
The Trust's board has authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of
beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share.
Although each Fund is offering only its own shares, it is possible that a
Fund might become liable for a misstatement in the Prospectus about another
Fund. Each board has considered this factor in approving the use of a single,
combined Prospectus.
The Corporations and the Trusts do not hold annual shareholder meetings.
There normally will be no meetings of shareholders to elect board members unless
fewer than a majority of the board members holding office have been elected by
shareholders.
The directors are required to call a meeting of shareholders of a
Corporation when requested in writing to do so by the shareholders of record
holding at least 25% of the Corporation's outstanding shares.
Shareholders of record of no less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares
of the applicable
26
<PAGE>
Trust may remove a trustee by vote cast in person or by proxy at a meeting
called for that purpose. The trustees are required to call a meeting of
shareholders of the applicable Trust for the purposes of voting upon the
question of removal of any trustee when requested in writing to do so by the
shareholders of record of not less than 10% of the applicable Trust's
outstanding shares.
Each share of a Fund has equal voting, dividend and liquidation rights. The
shares of each series of Money Fund Corporation and Managed Municipal Trust will
be voted separately except when an aggregate vote of all series is required by
the 1940 Act.
Shareholders of a Fund are entitled to one vote for each full share held and
fractional votes for fractional shares held. Voting rights are not cumulative,
and as a result, the holders of more than 50% of the shares of a Corporation or
Trust may elect all of its board members.
CERTIFICATES. To avoid additional operating expense and for investor
convenience, stock certificates are not issued. Ownership of shares of each Fund
is recorded on a stock register by the Transfer Agent, and shareholders have the
same rights of ownership with respect to such shares as if certificates had been
issued.
REPORTS, CONFIRMATIONS AND STATEMENTS. Shareholders of each Fund receive
its audited annual and unaudited semiannual financial statements. All purchases
and redemptions of Fund shares are confirmed to shareholders at least quarterly.
To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, a Fund may mail
only one copy of each annual and semiannual report to shareholders having the
same last name and address on the Fund's records. However, each shareholder may
call 1-800-762-1000 to ask that copies of those materials be sent personally to
that shareholder.
CUSTODIAN AND TRANSFER AGENT. State Street Bank and Trust Company, One
Heritage Drive, North Quincy, Massachusetts 02171, is custodian of each Fund's
assets. PFPC Inc. ("PFPC"), a subsidiary of PNC Bank, N.A., 400 Bellevue
Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809, is each Fund's transfer and dividend
disbursing agent.

APPENDIX
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES
The following description of the principal Municipal Securities in which,
where applicable, Tax-Free Fund, California Municipal Money Fund, New Jersey
Municipal Money Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund may invest supplements
that provided elsewhere in the Prospectus.
MUNICIPAL BONDS. Municipal bonds are debt obligations issued to obtain
funds for various public purposes, the interest on which is exempt from federal
income tax in the opinion of bond counsel. The two principal classifications of
municipal bonds are "general obligation" and "revenue" bonds. General obligation
bonds are secured by the issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing
power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue bonds are payable only
from the revenue derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or,
in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific
revenue source such as from the user of the facility being financed. The term
"municipal bonds" also includes "moral obligation" issues, which are normally
issued by special purpose authorities. In the case of such issues, an express or
implied "moral obligation" of a related governmental unit is pledged to the
payment of the debt service, but is usually subject to annual budget
appropriations. The term "municipal bonds" also includes municipal lease
obligations, such as leases, installment purchase contracts and conditional
sales contracts, and certificates of participation therein. Municipal lease
obligations are issued by local and state governments and authorities to
purchase land or various types of equipment or facilities and may be subject to
annual budget appropriations. The Funds generally invest in municipal lease
obligations through certificates of participation. The term "municipal bonds"
also includes custodial receipts that represent an ownership interest in one or
more municipal bonds.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS AND PRIVATE ACTIVITY BONDS. IDBs and PABs are
issued by or on behalf of public authorities to finance various privately
operated facilities, such as airport or pollution control facilities. PABs
generally are such bonds issued after August 15, 1986. These obligations are
included within the term "municipal bonds" if the interest paid thereon is
exempt from federal income tax in the opinion of the bond issuer's counsel. IDBs
and PABs are in most cases revenue bonds and thus are not payable from the
unrestricted revenues of the issuer. The credit quality of IDBs and PABs is
usually directly related to the credit standing of the user of the facilities
being financed. Each Fund is authorized to invest more than 25% of its assets in
IDBs and PABs.
PARTICIPATION INTERESTS. Participation interests are interests in municipal
bonds, including IDBs and PABs, and floating and variable rate obligations that
are owned by banks or other financial institutions. These interests carry a
demand feature permitting the holder to tender them back to the bank or other
financial institution. The demand feature generally is backed by a letter of
credit, guarantee or liquidity support arrangement from a bank or other
financial institution, whose credit standing affects the credit quality of the
participation interest.
PUT BONDS. A put bond is a municipal bond that gives the holder the
unconditional right to sell the bond back to the issuer or a third party at a
specified price and exercise date, which is typically well in advance of the
bond's maturity date.
TAX-EXEMPT COMMERCIAL PAPER AND SHORT-TERM MUNICIPAL NOTES. Tax-exempt
commercial paper and short-term municipal notes include tax anticipation notes,
bond anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes and other forms of short-
term loans. Such notes are issued with a short-term maturity in anticipation of
the receipt of tax funds, the proceeds of bond placements or other revenues.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
The following supplements the information contained in the Prospectus
concerning the Funds' investment policies and limitations.
YIELDS AND RATINGS OF MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS; FIRST TIER SECURITIES. The
yields on the money market instruments in which the Funds invest (such as U.S.
government securities, commercial paper, bank obligations and municipal
securities) are dependent on a variety of factors, including general money
market conditions, conditions in the particular market for the obligation, the
financial condition of the issuer, the size of the offering, the maturity of the
obligation and the ratings of the issue. The ratings of nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs") represent their opinions as to the
quality of the obligations they undertake to rate. Ratings, however, are general
and are not absolute standards of quality. Consequently, obligations with the
same rating, maturity and interest rate may have different market prices.
Subsequent to its purchase by a Fund, an issue may cease to be rated or its
rating may be reduced. If a security in a Fund's portfolio ceases to be a "First
Tier" security, as defined below, or Mitchell Hutchins becomes aware that a
security has received a rating below the second highest rating by any NRSRO,
Mitchell Hutchins, and in certain cases the applicable Corporation's board of
directors or the applicable Trust's board of trustees (each a "board"), will
consider whether the Fund should continue to hold the obligation. A "First Tier"
security is a security that is either (1) rated in the highest short-term rating
category by at least two NRSROs, (2) rated in the highest short-term rating
category by a single NRSRO if only that NRSRO has assigned the obligation a
short-term rating, (3) issued by an issuer that has received such a short-term
rating with respect to a security that is comparable in priority and security
(4) subject to a guarantee rated in the highest short-term rating category or
issued by a guarantor that has received the highest short-term rating for a
comparable debt obligation or (5) unrated, but determined by Mitchell Hutchins
to be of comparable quality. A First Tier security rated in the highest
short-term rating category by a single NRSRO at the time of purchase that
subsequently receives a rating below the highest rating category from a
different NRSRO may continue to be considered a First Tier security.
Opinions relating to the validity of municipal securities and to the
exemption of interest thereon from federal income tax, California personal
income tax, New Jersey personal income tax, and New York State and New York City
personal income taxes (and also, when available, from the federal alternative
minimum tax) are rendered by bond counsel to the respective issuing authorities
at the time of issuance. Neither the Municipal Funds nor Mitchell Hutchins will
review the proceedings relating to the issuance of municipal securities or the
basis for such opinions. An issuer's obligations under its municipal securities
are subject to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting
the rights and remedies of creditors (such as the federal bankruptcy laws) and
federal, state and local laws that may be enacted that adversely affect the
tax-exempt status of interest on the municipal securities held by a Fund or of
the exempt-interest dividends received by a Fund's shareholders, extend the time
for payment of principal or interest, or both, or impose other constraints upon
enforcement of such obligations. There is also the possibility that, as a result
of litigation or other conditions, the power or ability of issuers to meet their
obligations for the payment of principal of and interest on their municipal
securities may be materially and adversely affected.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE DEMAND INSTRUMENTS. Each Fund may invest in
variable and floating rate securities with demand features. A demand feature
gives a Fund the right to sell the securities back to a specified party, usually
a remarketing agent, on a specified date, at a price equal to their amortized
cost
2
<PAGE>
plus accrued interest. A demand feature is often backed by a letter of credit,
guarantee or other liquidity support arrangement from a bank or other financial
institution that may be drawn upon demand, after specified notice, for all or
any part of the exercise price of the demand feature. Generally, a Fund intends
to exercise demand features (1) upon a default under the terms of the underlying
security, (2) to maintain the Fund's portfolio in accordance with its investment
objective and policies or applicable legal or regulatory requirements or (3) as
needed to provide liquidity to the Fund in order to meet redemption requests.
The ability of a bank or other financial institution to fulfill its obligations
under a letter of credit, guarantee or other liquidity arrangement might be
affected by possible financial difficulties of its borrowers, adverse interest
rate or economic conditions, regulatory limitations or other factors. The
interest rate on floating rate or variable rate securities ordinarily is
readjusted on the basis of the prime rate of the bank that originated the
financing or some other index or published rate, such as the 90-day U.S.
Treasury bill rate, or is otherwise reset to reflect market rates of interest.
Generally, these interest rate adjustments cause the market value of floating
rate and variable rate securities to fluctuate less than the market value of
fixed rate obligations.
Tender option bonds are long-term municipal securities sold by a bank or
other financial institution subject to a demand feature that gives the purchaser
the right to sell them to the bank or other financial institution at par plus
accrued interest at designated times (the "tender option"). The Funds may invest
in bonds with tender options that may be exercisable at intervals ranging from
daily to 397 days, and the interest rate on the bonds is typically reset at the
end of the applicable interval in an attempt to cause the bonds to have a market
value that approximates their par value. The tender option may not be
exercisable in the event of a default on, or significant downgrading of, the
underlying municipal securities, and may be subject to other conditions.
Therefore, a Fund's ability to exercise the tender option will be affected by
the credit standing of both the bank or other financial institution involved and
the issuer of the underlying securities.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a
Fund purchases securities or other obligations and simultaneously commits to
resell them to the counterparty at an agreed-upon date or upon demand and at a
price reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to the coupon rate or
maturity of the purchased obligations. A Fund maintains custody of the
underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular
custodian or through a special "tri-party" custodian or sub-custodian that
maintains separate accounts for both the Fund and its counterparty. Thus the
obligation of the counterparty to pay the repurchase price on the date agreed to
or upon demand is, in effect, secured by such obligations. If their value
becomes less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed upon additional amount,
the counterparty must provide additional collateral so that at all times the
collateral is at least equal to the repurchase price plus any agreed upon
additional amount. The difference between the total amount to be received upon
repurchase of the securities and the price that was paid by a Fund upon
acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Money Market and U.S. Government Portfolios
may each enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and securities
dealers up to an aggregate value of not more than 5% of its net assets. Such
agreements involve the sale of securities held by a Fund subject to the Fund's
agreement to repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon date or upon demand and
at a price reflecting a market rate of interest. Such agreements are considered
to be borrowings and may be entered into only for temporary or emergency
purposes. While a reverse repurchase agreement is outstanding, a
3
<PAGE>
Fund's custodian segregates assets to cover the Fund's obligations under the
reverse repurchase agreement. See "Investment Policies and
Restrictions--Segregated Accounts."
ILLIQUID SECURITIES. No Fund will invest more than 10% of its net assets in
illiquid securities. The term "illiquid securities" for this purpose means
securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course
of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued the
securities and includes, among other things, repurchase agreements maturing in
more than seven days, restricted securities and municipal lease obligations
(including certificates of participation) other than those Mitchell Hutchins has
determined to be liquid pursuant to guidelines established by the applicable
board. To the extent a Fund invests in illiquid securities, it may not be able
to readily liquidate such investments and may have to sell other investments if
necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.
Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933
("1933 Act") and may be sold only in privately negotiated or other exempted
transactions or after a 1933 Act registration statement has become effective.
Where registration is required, a Fund may be obligated to pay all or part of
the registration expenses and a considerable period may elapse between the time
of the decision to sell and the time the Fund may be permitted to sell a
security under an effective registration statement. If during such a period,
adverse market conditions were to develop, a Fund might obtain a less favorable
price than prevailed when it decided to sell.
However, not all restricted securities are illiquid. A large institutional
market has developed for many U.S. and foreign securities that are not
registered under the 1933 Act. Institutional investors generally will not seek
to sell these instruments to the general public, but instead will often depend
either on an efficient institutional market in which such unregistered
securities can be readily resold or on an issuer's ability to honor a demand for
repayment. Therefore, the fact that there are contractual or legal restrictions
on resale to the general public or certain institutions is not dispositive of
the liquidity of such investments.
Institutional markets for restricted securities have developed as a result
of Rule 144A, which establishes a "safe harbor" from the registration
requirements of the 1933 Act for resales of certain securities to qualified
institutional buyers, providing both readily ascertainable values for restricted
securities and the ability to liquidate an investment in order to satisfy share
redemption orders. Such markets include automated systems for the trading,
clearance and settlement of unregistered securities of domestic and foreign
issuers, such as the PORTAL System sponsored by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. An insufficient number of qualified institutional
buyers interested in purchasing Rule 144A-eligible restricted securities held by
a Fund, however, could affect adversely the marketability of such portfolio
securities, and a Fund might be unable to dispose of such securities promptly or
at favorable prices.
The boards have delegated the function of making day-to-day determinations
of liquidity to Mitchell Hutchins, pursuant to guidelines approved by each
board. Mitchell Hutchins takes into account a number of factors in reaching
liquidity decisions, including (1) the frequency of trades for the security, (2)
the number of dealers that make quotes for the security, (3) the number of
dealers that have undertaken to make a market in the security, (4) the number of
other potential purchasers and (5) the nature of the security and how trading is
effected (E.G., the time needed to sell the security, how offers are solicited
and the mechanics of transfer). Mitchell Hutchins monitors the liquidity of
restricted securities held by the Funds and reports periodically on such
decisions to the applicable board.
4
<PAGE>
In making liquidity determinations with respect to municipal lease
obligations, Mitchell Hutchins takes into account a number of additional factors
relating specifically to the credit quality of the obligations, including, where
appropriate, (1) whether the underlying lease can be cancelled, (2) what
assurance there is that the assets underlying the lease can be sold, (3) the
strength of the lessee's general credit (E.G., its administrative, economic and
financial characteristics), (4) the likelihood that the municipality will
discontinue appropriating funding for the property because the property is no
longer deemed essential to the operations of the municipality (E.G., the
potential for an "event of nonappropriation") and (5) the legal recourse in the
event of a failure to appropriate. In making liquidity determinations, Mitchell
Hutchins will distinguish between direct investments in municipal lease
obligations (or participations therein) and investments in securities that may
be supported by municipal lease obligations or certificates of participation
therein. Because these municipal lease obligation-backed securities are based on
a well-established means of securitization, Mitchell Hutchins does not believe
that investing in such securities presents the same liquidity issues as direct
investments in municipal lease obligations.
LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Each Fund is authorized to lend up to
33 1/3% of its total assets to broker-dealers or institutional investors that
Mitchell Hutchins deems qualified, but only when the borrower maintains
acceptable collateral with the Fund's custodian, marked to market daily, at
least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest.
Acceptable collateral is limited to cash, U.S. government securities and
irrevocable letters of credit that meet certain guidelines established by
Mitchell Hutchins. A Fund may reinvest cash collateral in money market
instruments or other short-term liquid investments. In determining whether to
lend securities to a particular broker-dealer or institutional investor,
Mitchell Hutchins will consider, and during the period of the loan will monitor,
all relevant facts and circumstances, including the creditworthiness of the
borrower. Each Fund will retain authority to terminate any of its loans at any
time. A Fund may pay reasonable fees in connection with a loan and may pay the
borrower or placing broker a negotiated portion of the interest earned on the
reinvestment of cash held as collateral. A Fund will receive amounts equivalent
to any interest or other distributions on the securities loaned. A Fund will
regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise beneficial rights, such
as voting and subscription rights, when regaining such rights is considered to
be in the Fund's interest.
Pursuant to procedures adopted by the boards governing each Fund's
securities lending program, PaineWebber has been retained to serve as lending
agent for each Fund. The boards also have authorized the payment of fees
(including fees calculated as a percentage of invested cash collateral) to
PaineWebber for these services. Each board periodically reviews all portfolio
securities loan transactions for which PaineWebber acted as lending agent.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. The Funds may purchase
securities on a "when-issued" or "delayed delivery" basis. A security purchased
on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis is recorded as an asset on the
commitment date and is subject to changes in market value, generally based upon
changes in the level of interest rates. Thus, fluctuation in the value of the
security from the time of the commitment date will affect a Fund's net asset
value. When a Fund commits to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis, its custodian segregates assets to cover the amount of the
commitment. See "Investment Policies and Restrictions--Segregated Accounts."
5
<PAGE>
SEGREGATED ACCOUNTS. When a Fund enters into certain transactions that
involve obligations to make future payments to third parties, including the
purchase of securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis or reverse
repurchase agreements, the Fund will maintain with an approved custodian in a
segregated account cash or liquid securities, marked to market daily, in an
amount at least equal to the Fund's obligation or commitment under such
transactions.
CERTAIN POLICIES OF THE MUNICIPAL FUNDS
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. The types of municipal securities identified in the
Prospectus may include obligations of issuers whose revenues are primarily
derived from mortgage loans on housing projects for moderate- to low-income
families. The Municipal Funds also may purchase mortgage subsidy bonds with a
remaining maturity of less than 13 months that are issued to subsidize mortgages
on single family homes and "moral obligation" bonds with a remaining maturity of
less than 13 months that are normally issued by special purpose public
authorities. In some cases the repayment of such bonds depends upon annual
legislative appropriations; in other cases repayment is a legal obligation of
the issuer, and if the issuer is unable to meet its obligations, repayment
becomes a moral commitment of a related government unit (subject, however, to
such appropriations).
PUT BONDS. The Municipal Funds may each invest in put bonds that have a
fixed rate of interest and a final maturity beyond the date on which the put may
be exercised. If the put is a "one time only" put, the Fund ordinarily will
either sell the bond or put the bond, depending upon the more favorable price.
If the bond has a series of puts after the first put, the bond will be held as
long as, in the judgment of Mitchell Hutchins, it is in the best interest of the
Fund to do so. There is no assurance that an issuer of a put bond acquired by
the Fund will be able to repurchase the bond on the exercise date, if the Fund
chooses to exercise its right to put the bond back to the issuer.
STAND-BY COMMITMENTS. A Municipal Fund may acquire stand-by commitments
under unusual market conditions to facilitate portfolio liquidity. Pursuant to a
stand-by commitment, a municipal bond dealer agrees to purchase the securities
that are the subject of the commitment at an amount equal to (1) the acquisition
cost (excluding any accrued interest paid on acquisition), less any amortized
market premium and plus any accrued market or original issue discount, plus (2)
all interest accrued on the securities since the last interest payment date or
the date the securities were purchased, whichever is later.
A Fund will enter into stand-by commitments only with those banks or other
dealers that, in the opinion of Mitchell Hutchins, present minimal credit risk.
A Fund's right to exercise stand-by commitments will be unconditional and
unqualified. Stand-by commitments will not be transferable by a Fund, although a
Fund may sell the underlying securities to a third party at any time. A Fund may
pay for stand-by commitments either separately in cash or by paying a higher
price for the securities that are acquired subject to such a commitment (thus
reducing the yield to maturity otherwise available for the same securities). The
acquisition of a stand-by commitment will not ordinarily affect the valuation or
maturity of the underlying municipal securities. Stand-by commitments acquired
by a Fund will be valued at zero in determining net asset value. Whether a Fund
paid directly or indirectly for a stand-by commitment, its cost will be treated
as unrealized depreciation and will be amortized over the period the commitment
is held by the Fund.
6
<PAGE>
PARTICIPATION INTERESTS. The Municipal Funds may invest in participation
interests in municipal bonds, including industrial development bonds ("IDBs"),
private activity bonds ("PABs") and floating and variable rate securities. A
participation interest gives a Fund an undivided interest in a municipal bond
owned by a bank or other financial institution. A Fund has the right to sell the
instrument back to the financial institution. As discussed above under "Variable
and Floating Rate Demand Instruments," to the extent that payment of an
obligation is backed by a letter of credit, guarantee or liquidity support
arrangement from a bank or other financial institution, such payment may be
subject to the financial institution's ability to satisfy that commitment.
Mitchell Hutchins will monitor the pricing, quality and liquidity of the
participation interests held by each Municipal Fund, and the credit standing of
financial institutions issuing letters of credit, guarantees or liquidity
support arrangements supporting such participation interests, on the basis of
published financial information, reports of rating services and bank analytical
services. Under normal market conditions, New Jersey Municipal Money Fund will
not invest more than 25% of its total assets in participation interests or other
securities issued by or purchased from banks or other financial institutions.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL SECURITIES
During the early 1990's, California experienced significant financial
difficulties, which reduced its credit standing, but the State's finances have
improved significantly since 1994, with ratings increases since 1996. The
ratings of certain related debt of other issuers for which California has an
outstanding lease purchase, guarantee or other contractual obligation (such as
for state-insured hospital bonds) are generally linked directly to California's
rating. Should the financial condition of California deteriorate again, its
credit ratings could be reduced, and the market value and marketability of all
outstanding notes and bonds issued by California, its public authorities or
local governments could be adversely affected.
ECONOMIC FACTORS
California's economy is the largest among the 50 states and one of the
largest in the world. The State's population of almost 33 million represents
over 12% of the total United States population and grew by 26% in the 1980s,
more than double the national rate. Population growth slowed to less than 1%
annually in 1994 and 1995, but rose to 1.8% in 1996. During the early 1990's,
net population growth in the State was due to births and foreign immigration,
but in recent years, in-migration from the other states has increased.
Total personal income in the State, at an estimated $865 billion in 1997,
accounts for almost 13% of all personal income in the nation. Total employment
is over 14 million, the majority of which is in the service, trade and
manufacturing sectors.
From mid-1990 to late 1993, the State suffered a recession with the worst
economic, fiscal and budget conditions since the 1930s. Construction,
manufacturing (especially aerospace), and financial services, among others, were
all severely affected, particularly in Southern California. Employment levels
stabilized by late 1993 and pre-recession job levels were reached in 1996.
Unemployment, while remaining higher than the national average, has come down
from its 10% recession peak to 5.6% in summer, 1998. Economic indicators show a
steady and strong recovery underway in California since the start of 1994
particularly in high technology manufacturing and services, including computer
software, electronic
7
<PAGE>
manufacturing and motion picture/television production, and other services,
entertainment and tourism, and both residential and commercial construction. The
Asian economic crisis beginning in mid-1997 will reduce exports to that region,
although this has been offset by increased exports to Latin America and other
areas. Overall, the Asian crisis is expected to have a moderate dampening effect
on the State's economy, but the economy is still expected to outpace the nation
in 1998 and 1999. Any delay or reversal of the recovery may create new
shortfalls in State revenues.
CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON TAXES, OTHER CHARGES AND APPROPRIATIONS
LIMITATION ON PROPERTY TAXES. Certain California Municipal Obligations may
be obligations of issuers which rely in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, on AD VALOREM property taxes as a source of revenue. The taxing
powers of California local governments and districts are limited by Article
XIIIA of the California Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1978 and commonly
known as "Proposition 13." Briefly, Article XIIIA limits to 1% of full cash
value of the rate of AD VALOREM property taxes on real property and generally
restricts the reassessment of property to 2% per year, except under new
construction or change of ownership (subject to a number of exemptions). Taxing
entities may, however, raise AD VALOREM taxes above the 1% limit to pay debt
service on voter-approved bonded indebtedness.
Under Article XIIIA, the basic 1% AD VALOREM tax levy is applied against the
assessed value of property as of the owner's date of acquisition (or as of March
1, 1975, if acquired earlier), subject to certain adjustments. This system has
resulted in widely varying amounts of tax on similarly situated properties.
Several lawsuits have been filed challenging the acquisition-based assessment
system of Proposition 13, but it was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1992.
Article XIIIA prohibits local governments from raising revenues through AD
VALOREM taxes above the 1% limit; it also requires voters of any governmental
unit to give two-thirds approval to levy any "special tax." Court decisions,
however, allowed a non-voter approved levy of "general taxes" which were not
dedicated to a specific use.
LIMITATIONS ON OTHER TAXES, FEES AND CHARGES. On November 5, 1996, the
voters of the State approved Proposition 218, called the "Right to Vote on Taxes
Act." Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State Constitution,
which contain a number of provisions affecting the ability of local agencies to
levy and collect both existing and future taxes, assessments, fees and charges.
Article XIIIC requires that all new or increased local taxes be submitted to
the electorate before they become effective. Taxes for general governmental
purposes require a majority vote and taxes for specific purposes require a
two-thirds vote. Further, any general purpose tax which was imposed, extended or
increased without voter approval after December 31, 1994 must be approved by a
majority vote within two years.
Article XIIID contains several new provisions making it generally more
difficult for local agencies to levy and maintain "assessments" for municipal
services and programs. Article XIIID also contains several new provisions
affecting "fees" and "charges", defined for purposes of Article XIIID to mean
"any levy other than an AD VALOREM tax, a special tax, or an assessment, imposed
by a [local government] upon a
8
<PAGE>
parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership, including a user
fee or charge for a property related service." All new and existing property
related fees and charges must conform to requirements prohibiting, among other
things, fees and charges which generate revenues exceeding the funds required to
provide the property related service or are used for unrelated purposes. There
are new notice, hearing and protest procedures for levying or increasing
property related fees and charges, and, except for fees or charges for sewer,
water and refuse collection services (or fees for electrical and gas service,
which are not treated as "property related" for purposes of Article XIIID), no
property related fee or charge may be imposed or increased without majority
approval by the property owners subject to the fee or charge or, at the option
of the local agency, two-thirds voter approval by the electorate residing in the
affected area.
In addition to the provisions described above, Article XIIIC removes
limitations on the initiative power in matters of local taxes, assessments, fees
and charges. Consequently, local voters could, by future initiative, repeal,
reduce or prohibit the future imposition or increase of any local tax,
assessment, fee or charge. It is unclear how this right of local initiative may
be used in cases where taxes or charges have been or will be specifically
pledged to secure debt issues.
The interpretation and application of Proposition 218 will ultimately be
determined by the courts with respect to a number of matters, and it is not
possible at this time to predict with certainly the outcome of such
determinations. Proposition 218 is generally viewed as restricting the fiscal
flexibility of local governments, and for this reason, some ratings of
California cities and counties have been, and others may be, reduced.
APPROPRIATIONS LIMITS. The State and its local governments are subject to
an annual "appropriations limit" imposed by Article XIIIB of the California
Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1979 and significantly amended by
Propositions 98 and 111 in 1988 and 1990, respectively. Article XIIIB prohibits
the State or any covered local government from spending "appropriations subject
to limitation" in excess of the appropriations limit imposed. "Appropriations
subject to limitation" are authorizations to spend "proceeds of taxes," which
consist of tax revenues and certain other funds, including proceeds from
regulatory licenses, user charges or other fees, to the extent that such
proceeds exceed the cost of providing the product or service, but "proceeds of
taxes" exclude most State subventions to local governments. No limit is imposed
on appropriations of funds which are not "proceeds of taxes," such as reasonable
user charges or fees, and certain other non-tax funds, including bond proceeds.
Among the expenditures not included in the Article XIIIB appropriations
limit are (1) the debt service cost of bonds issued or authorized prior to
January 1, 1979, or subsequently authorized by the voters, (2) appropriations
arising from certain emergencies declared by the Governor, (3) appropriations
for certain capital outlay projects, (4) appropriations by the State of
post-1989 increases in gasoline taxes and vehicle weight fees, and (5)
appropriations made in certain cases of emergency.
The appropriations limit for each year is adjusted annually to reflect
changes in cost of living and population, and any transfers of service
responsibilities between government units. The definitions for such adjustments
were liberalized in 1990 to follow more closely growth in the State's economy.
"Excess" revenues are measured over a two year cycle. Local governments must
return any excess to taxpayers by rate reductions. The State must refund 50% of
any excess, with the other 50% paid to schools
9
<PAGE>
and community colleges. With more liberal annual adjustment factors since 1988,
and depressed revenues since 1990 because of the recession, few governments are
currently operating near their spending limits, but this condition may change
over time. Local governments may by voter approval exceed their spending limits
for up to four years. During fiscal year 1986-87, State receipts from proceeds
of taxes exceeded its appropriations limit by $1.1 billion, which was returned
to taxpayers. Since that year, appropriations subject to limitation have been
under the State limit. State appropriations were $6.3 billion under the limit
for fiscal year 1997-98.
Because of the complex nature of Articles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID of
the California Constitution, the ambiguities and possible inconsistencies in
their terms, and the impossibility of predicting future appropriations or
changes in population and cost of living, and the probability of continuing
legal challenges, it is not currently possible to determine fully the impact of
these Articles on California Municipal Obligations or on the ability of the
State or local governments to pay debt service on such California Municipal
Obligations. It is not possible, at the present time, to predict the outcome of
any pending litigation with respect to the ultimate scope, impact or
constitutionality of these Articles or the impact of any such determinations
upon State agencies or local governments, or upon their ability to pay debt
service on their obligations. Further initiatives or legislative changes in laws
or the California Constitution may also affect the ability of the State or local
issuers to repay their obligations.
OBLIGATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Under the California Constitution, debt service on outstanding general
obligation bonds is the second charge to the General Fund after support of the
public school system and public institutions of higher education. As of August
1, 1998, the State had outstanding approximately $18.7 billion of long-term
general obligation bonds, plus $1.1 billion of general obligation commercial
paper which will be refunded by long-term bonds in the future, and $6.7 billion
of lease-purchase debt supported by the State General Fund. The State also had
about $7.8 billion of authorized and unissued long-term general obligation bonds
and lease-purchase debt. In FY 1997-98, debt service on general obligation bonds
and lease purchase debt was approximately 4.4% of General Fund revenues.
RECENT FINANCIAL RESULTS
The principal sources of General Fund revenues in 1996-1997 were the
California personal income tax (47% of total revenues), the sales tax (34%),
bank and corporation taxes (12%), and the gross premium tax on insurance (2%).
The State maintains a Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties (the "SFEU"),
derived from General Fund revenues, as a reserve to meet cash needs of the
General Fund, but which is required to be replenished as soon as sufficient
revenues are available. Year-end balances in the SFEU are included for financial
reporting purposes in the General Fund balance. Because of the recession and an
accumulated budget deficit, no reserve was budgeted in the SFEU from 1992-93 to
1995-96.
GENERAL. Throughout the 1980's, State spending increased rapidly as the
State population and economy also grew rapidly, including increased spending for
many assistance programs to local governments, which were constrained by
Proposition 13 and other laws. The largest State program is assistance to local
public school districts. In 1988, an initiative (Proposition 98) was enacted
which (subject
10
<PAGE>
to suspension by a two-thirds vote of the Legislature and the Governor)
guarantees local school districts and community college districts a minimum
share of State General Fund revenues (currently about 35%).
RECENT BUDGETS. As a result of the severe economic recession from 1990-94
and other factors, the State experienced substantial revenue shortfalls, and
greater than anticipated social service costs, in the early 1990's. The State
accumulated and sustained a budget deficit in the budget reserve, the SFEU,
approaching $2.8 billion at its peak at June 30, 1993. The Legislature and
Governor agreed on a number of different steps to respond to the adverse
financial conditions and produce Budget Acts in the Years 1991-92 to 1994-95
(although not all of these actions were taken in each year):
- significant cuts in health and welfare program expenditures;
- transfers of program responsibilities and some funding sources from the
State to local governments, coupled with some reduction in mandates on local
government;
- transfer of about $3.6 billion in annual local property tax revenues from
cities, counties, redevelopment agencies and some other districts to local
school districts, thereby reducing State funding for schools;
- reduction in growth of support for higher education programs, coupled with
increases in student fees;
- revenue increases (particularly in the 1992-93 Fiscal Year budget), most
of which were for a short duration;
- increased reliance on aid from the federal government to offset the costs
of incarcerating, educating and providing health and welfare services to
undocumented aliens (although these efforts have produced much less federal aid
than the State Administration had requested); and
- various one-time adjustments and accounting changes (some of which have
been challenged in court and reversed).
A consequence of the accumulated budget deficits in the early 1990's,
together with other factors such as disbursement of funds to local school
districts "borrowed" from future fiscal years and hence not shown in the annual
budget, was to significantly reduce the State's cash resources available to pay
its ongoing obligations. The State's cash condition became so serious that from
late spring 1992 until 1995, the State had to rely on issuance of short term
notes which matured in a subsequent fiscal year to finance its ongoing deficit,
and pay current obligations. For a two-month period in the summer of 1992,
pending adoption of the annual Budget Act, the State was forced to issue
registered warrants (IOUs) to some of its suppliers, employees and other
creditors. The last of these deficit notes was repaid in April, 1996.
The State's financial condition improved markedly during the 1995-96,
1996-97 and 1997-98 fiscal years, with a combination of better than expected
revenues, slowdown in growth of social welfare programs, and continued spending
restraint based on the actions taken in earlier years. The State's cash
11
<PAGE>
position also improved, and no external deficit borrowing has occurred over the
end of these three fiscal years.
The economy grew strongly during these fiscal years, and as a result, the
General Fund took in substantially greater tax revenues (around $2.2 billion in
1995-96, $1.6 billion in 1996-97 and $2.1 billion in 1997-98) than were
initially planned when the budgets were enacted. These additional funds were
largely directed to school spending as mandated by Proposition 98, and to make
up shortfalls from reduced federal health and welfare aid in 1995-96 and
1996-97. The accumulated budget deficit from the recession years was finally
eliminated. The Department of Finance estimates that the State's budget reserve
(the SFEU) totaled about $400 million as of June 30, 1997 and $1.8 billion at
June 30, 1998.
FY 1997-98 BUDGET. In May 1997, the California Supreme Court ruled that the
State had acted illegally in 1993 and 1994 by using a deferral of payments to
the Public Employees Retirement Fund to help balance earlier budgets. In
response to this court decision, the Governor ordered an immediate repayment to
the Retirement Fund of about $1.235 billion, which was made in late July, 1997,
and substantially "used up" the then-expected additional General Fund revenues
for the fiscal year. The 1997-98 Budget Act provided another year of rapidly
increasing funding for K-14 public education. Support for higher education units
in the State also increased by about 6 percent. Because of the pension payment,
most other State programs were funded at levels consistent with prior years, and
several initiatives had to be dropped. The final results for FY 1997-98 showed
General Fund revenues and transfers of $54.7 billion and expenditures of $53.3
billion.
Part of the 1997-98 Budget Act was completion of State welfare reform
legislation to implement the new federal law passed in 1996. The new State
program, called "CalWORKs," became effective January 1, 1998, and emphasizes
programs to bring aid recipients into the workforce. As required by federal law,
new time limits are placed on receipt of welfare aid.
FY 1998-99 BUDGET. The FY 1998-99 Budget Act was signed on August 21, 1998.
In signing the Budget Act, the Governor vetoed $1.360 billion of General Fund
expenditures, and $160 million of Special Fund expenditures, resulting in
spending of $57.3 billion for the General Fund and $14.7 billion for Special
Funds. Of these vetoes, the Governor "set aside" $250 million to be used for
education programs supported by the Governor, but only if additional legislation
is passed before the end of the current session on August 31, 1998. The Budget
Act assumed General Fund revenues and transfers in FY 1998-99 of $57.0 billion.
Assuming the "set aside" monies are subsequently appropriated, the Governor
projects the balance in the SFEU at June 30, 1999 will be about $1.255 billion.
As has been the case in the last several years, spending on K-12 education
increased significantly, by a total of $2.2 billion, with projected per-pupil
spending of $5,695, more than one-third higher than the per-pupil spending
during the last recession year of 1993-94. Funding to support higher education
was also increased significantly (15% for the University of California and 14%
for the California State University system). The Budget included some increases
in health and welfare programs, including the first increase in the monthly
welfare grant since levels were cut during the recession.
12
<PAGE>
One of the most important elements of the 1998-99 Budget Act was agreement
on substantial tax cuts. The largest of these is a phased-in cut in the Vehicle
License Fee (an annual tax on the value of cars registered in the State, the
"VLF"). Starting in 1999, the VLF is reduced by 25%. Under current law, VLF
funds are automatically transferred to cities and counties, so the new
legislation provides for the General Fund to make up the reductions. If State
General Fund revenues continue to grow above certain targeted levels in future
years, the cut could reach as much as 67.5% by the year 2003. The initial 25%
VLF cut will be offset by about $500 million in General Fund money in FY
1998-99, and $1 billion for future years. Other tax cuts in FY 1998-99 include
an increase in the dependent credit exemption for personal income tax filers,
restoration of a renter's tax credit for taxpayers, and a variety of business
tax relief measures. The total cost of these tax cuts is estimated at $1.4
billion for FY 1998-99.
Although, as noted, the 1998-99 Budget Act projects a budget reserve in the
SFEU of $1.255 billion on June 30, 1999, the General Fund fund balance on that
date also reflects $1.0 billion of "loans" which the General Fund made to local
schools in the recession years, representing cash outlays above the mandatory
minimum funding level. Settlement of litigation over these transactions in July
1996 calls for repayment of these loans over the period ending in 2001-02, about
equally split between outlays from the General Fund and from schools'
entitlements. The 1998-99 Budget Act contained a $300 million appropriation from
the General Fund toward this settlement
Although the State's strong economy is producing record revenues to the
State government, the State's budget continues to be under stress from mandated
spending on education, a rising prison population, and social needs of a growing
population with many immigrants. These factors which limit State spending growth
also put pressure on local governments. There can be no assurances that, if
economic conditions weaken, or other factors intercede, the State will not
experience budget gaps in the future.
BOND RATING
The ratings on California's long-term general obligation bonds were reduced
in the early 1990's from "AAA" levels which had existed prior to the recession.
After 1996, Fitch and Standard & Poor's raised their ratings of California's
general obligation bonds, which as of August 1998 were assigned ratings of "A+"
from Standard & Poor's, "A1" from Moody's and "AA-" from Fitch.
There can be no assurance that such ratings will be maintained in the
future. It should be noted that the creditworthiness of obligations issued by
local California issuers may be unrelated to creditworthiness of obligations
issued by the State of California, and that there is no obligation on the part
of the State to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The State is involved in certain legal proceedings (described in the State's
recent financial statements) that, if decided against the State, may require the
State to make significant future expenditures or may substantially impair
revenues. Trial courts have recently entered tentative decisions or injunctions
which would overturn several parts of the State's recent budget compromises. The
matters covered by these
13
<PAGE>
lawsuits include reductions in welfare payments and the use of certain cigarette
tax funds for health costs. All of these cases are subject to further
proceedings and appeals, and if California eventually loses, the final remedies
may not have to be implemented in one year.
OBLIGATIONS OF OTHER ISSUERS
OTHER ISSUERS OF CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS. There are a number of
State agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions of the State that
issue Municipal Obligations, some of which may be conduit revenue obligations
payable from payments from private borrowers. These entities are subject to
various economic risks and uncertainties, and the credit quality of the
securities issued by them may vary considerably from the credit quality of
obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the State.
STATE ASSISTANCE. Property tax revenues received by local governments
declined more than 50% following passage of Proposition 13. Subsequently, the
California Legislature enacted measures to provide for the redistribution of the
State's General Fund surplus to local agencies, the reallocation of certain
State revenues to local agencies and the assumption of certain governmental
functions by the State to assist municipal issuers to raise revenues. Total
local assistance from the State's General Fund was budgeted at approximately 75%
of General Fund expenditures in recent years, including the effect of
implementing reductions in certain aid programs. To reduce State General Fund
support for school districts, the 1992-93 and 1993-94 Budget Acts caused local
governments to transfer $3.9 billion of property tax revenues to school
districts, representing loss of the post-Proposition 13 "bailout" aid. Local
governments have in return received greater revenues and greater flexibility to
operate health and welfare programs. However, except for agreement in 1997 on a
new program for the State to substantially take over funding for local trial
courts (saving cities and counties some $400 million annually), there has been
no large-scale reversal of the property tax shift to help local government.
To the extent the State should be constrained by its Article XIIIB
appropriations limit, or its obligation to conform to Proposition 98, or other
fiscal considerations, the absolute level, or the rate of growth, of State
assistance to local governments may continue to be reduced. Any such reductions
in State aid could compound the serious fiscal constraints already experienced
by many local governments, particularly counties. Los Angeles County, the
largest in the State, was forced to make significant cuts in services and
personnel, particularly in the health care system, in order to balance its
budget in FY1996-96 and FY1996-97. Los Angeles County's debt was downgraded by
Moody's and S&P in the summer of 1995. Orange County, which emerged from Federal
Bankruptcy Court protection in June 1996, has significantly reduced county
services and personnel, and faces strict financial conditions following large
investment fund losses in 1994 which resulted in bankruptcy.
Counties and cities may face further budgetary pressures as a result of
changes in welfare and public assistance programs, which were enacted in August,
1997 in order to comply with the federal welfare reform law. Generally, counties
play a large role in the new system, and are given substantial flexibility to
develop and administer programs to bring aid recipients into the workforce.
Counties are also given financial incentives if either at the county or
statewide level, the "Welfare-to-Work" programs exceed minimum targets; counties
are also subject to financial penalties for failure to meet such targets.
Counties
14
<PAGE>
remain responsible to provide "general assistance" for able-bodied indigents who
are ineligible for other welfare programs. The long-term financial impact of the
new CalWORKs system on local governments is still unknown.
ASSESSMENT BONDS. California Municipal Obligations which are assessment
bonds may be adversely affected by a general decline in real estate values or a
slowdown in real estate sales activity. In many cases, such bonds are secured by
land which is undeveloped at the time of issuance but anticipated to be
developed within a few years after issuance. In the event of such reduction or
slowdown, such development may not occur or may be delayed, thereby increasing
the risk of a default on the bonds. Because the special assessments or taxes
securing these bonds are not the personal liability of the owners of the
property assessed, the lien on the property is the only security for the bonds.
Moreover, in most cases the issuer of these bonds is not required to make
payments on the bonds in the event of delinquency in the payment of assessments
or taxes, except from amounts, if any, in a reserve fund established for the
bonds.
CALIFORNIA LONG TERM LEASE OBLIGATIONS. Based on a series of court
decisions, certain long-term lease obligations, though typically payable from
the general fund of the State or a municipality, are not considered
"indebtedness" requiring voter approval. Such leases, however, are subject to
"abatement" in the event the facility being leased is unavailable for beneficial
use and occupancy by the municipality during the term of the lease. Abatement is
not a default, and there may be no remedies available to the holders of the
certificates evidencing the lease obligation in the event abatement occurs. The
most common cases of abatement are failure to complete construction of the
facility before the end of the period during which lease payments have been
capitalized and uninsured casualty losses to the facility (E.G., due to
earthquake). In the event abatement occurs with respect to a lease obligation,
lease payments may be interrupted (if all available insurance proceeds and
reserves are exhausted) and the certificates may not be paid when due. Although
litigation is brought from time to time which challenges the constitutionality
of such lease arrangements, the California Supreme Court issued a ruling in
August, 1998 which reconfirmed the legality of these financing methods.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The repayment of industrial development securities secured by real property
may be affected by California laws limiting foreclosure rights of creditors.
Securities backed by health care and hospital revenues may be affected by
changes in State regulations governing cost reimbursements to health care
providers under Medi-Cal (the State's Medicaid program), including risks related
to the policy of awarding exclusive contracts to certain hospitals.
Limitations on AD VALOREM property taxes may particularly affect "tax
allocation" bonds issued by California redevelopment agencies. Such bonds are
secured solely by the increase in assessed valuation of a redevelopment project
area after the start of redevelopment activity. In the event that assessed
values in the redevelopment project decline (E.G., because of a major natural
disaster such as an earthquake), the tax increment revenue may be insufficient
to make principal and interest payments on these bonds. Both Moody's and S&P
suspended ratings on California tax allocation bonds after the enactment of
Articles XIIIA and XIIIB, and only resumed such ratings on a selective basis.
15
<PAGE>
Proposition 87, approved by California voters in 1988, requires that all
revenues produced by a tax rate increase go directly to the taxing entity which
increased such tax rate to repay that entity's general obligation indebtedness.
As a result, redevelopment agencies (which, typically, are the issuers of tax
allocation securities) no longer receive an increase in tax increment when taxes
on property in the project area are increased to repay voter-approved bonded
indebtedness.
The effect of these various constitutional and statutory changes upon the
ability of California municipal securities issuers to pay interest and principal
on their obligations remains unclear. Furthermore, other measures affecting the
taxing or spending authority of California or its political subdivisions may be
approved or enacted in the future. Legislation has been or may be introduced
which would modify existing taxes or other revenue-raising measures or which
either would further limit or, alternatively, would increase the abilities of
state and local governments to impose new taxes or increase existing taxes. It
is not possible, at present, to predict the extent to which any such legislation
will be enacted. Nor is it possible, at present, to determine the impact of any
such legislation on California Municipal Obligations in which the Fund may
invest, future allocations of state revenues to local governments or the
abilities of state or local governments to pay the interest on, or repay the
principal of, such California Municipal Obligations.
Substantially all of California is within an active geologic region subject
to major seismic activity. Northern California in 1989 and Southern California
in 1994 experienced major earthquakes causing billions of dollars in damages.
The federal government provided more than $13 billion in aid for both
earthquakes, and neither event is expected to have any long-term negative
economic impact. Any California Municipal Obligation in the Fund could be
affected by an interruption of revenues because of damaged facilities, or,
consequently, income tax deductions for casualty losses or property tax
assessment reductions. Compensatory financial assistance could be constrained by
the inability of (i) an issuer to have obtained earthquake insurance coverage
rates; (ii) an insurer to perform on its contracts of insurance in the event of
widespread losses; or (iii) the federal or State government to appropriate
sufficient funds within their respective budget limitations.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL SECURITIES
NEW JERSEY MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. The financial condition of the State of
New Jersey, its public authorities (the "Authorities") and it local governments,
could affect the market values and marketability of, and therefore the net asset
value per share and the interest income of New Jersey Municipal Money Fund, or
result in the default of existing obligations, including obligations which may
be held by the Fund. The following section provides only a brief summary of the
complex factors affecting the financial situation in New Jersey and is based on
information obtained from New Jersey, certain of its Authorities and certain
other localities, as publicly available on the date of this Statement of
Additional Information. The information contained in such publicly available
documents has not been independently verified. It should be noted that the
creditworthiness of obligations issued by local issuers may be unrelated to the
creditworthiness of New Jersey, and that there is no obligation on the part of
New Jersey to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default in
the absence of a specific guarantee or pledge provided by New Jersey.

ECONOMIC FACTORS. New Jersey is the ninth largest state in population and
the fifth smallest in land area. With an average of 1,077 people per square
mile, it is the most densely populated of all the states. The State's economic
base is diversified, consisting of a variety of manufacturing, construction and
service industries, supplemented by rural areas with selective commercial
agriculture. The extensive facilities of the Port Authority of New York and New
Jersey, the Delaware River Port Authority and the South Jersey Port Corporation
across the Delaware River from Philadelphia augment the air, land and water
transportation complex which has influenced much of the State's economy. The
State's central location in the northeastern corridor, the transportation and
port facilities and proximity to New York City make the State an attractive
location for corporate headquarters and international business offices.
According to the United States Bureau of the Census, the population of New
Jersey was 7,170,000 in 1970, 7,365,000 in 1980, 7,730,000 in 1990 and 7,988,000
in 1996. Historically, New Jersey's average per capita income has been well
above the national average, and in 1996 the State ranked second among the states
in per capita personal income ($31,053).
While New Jersey's economy continued to expand during the late 1980s, the
level of growth slowed considerably after 1987. By the beginning of the national
recession in July 1990 (according to the National Bureau of Economic Research),
construction activity had already been declining in New Jersey for nearly two
years, growth had tapered off markedly in the service sectors and the long-term
downward trend of factory employment had accelerated, partly because of a
leveling off of industrial demand nationally. The onset of recession caused an
acceleration of New Jersey's job losses in construction and manufacturing, as
well as an employment downturn in such previously growing sectors as wholesale
trade, retail trade, finance, utilities and trucking and warehousing. The net
effect was a decline in the State's total nonfarm wage and salary employment
from a peak of 3,689,800 in 1989 to a low of 3,457,900 in 1992. This loss has
been followed by an employment gain of 255,600 from May 1992 to June 1997, a
recovery of 97.5% of the jobs lost during the recession. In July 1991, S&P
lowered the State's general obligation bond rating from AAA to AA+.
Reflecting the downturn, the rate of unemployment in the State rose from a
low of 3.6% during the first quarter of 1989 to a recessionary peak of 8.5%
during 1992. Since then, the unemployment rate fell to 6.2% during 1996 and 5.5%
for the six month period from January 1997 through June 1997.
For the recovery period as a whole, May 1992 to June 1997, service-producing
employment in New Jersey has expanded by 283,500 jobs. Hiring has been reported
by food stores, wholesale distributors, trucking and warehousing firms, security
and commodity brokers, business and engineering/management service firms,
hotels/hotel-casinos, social service agencies and health care providers other
than hospitals. Employment growth was particularly strong in business services
and its personnel supply component with increases of 17,300 and 7,500,
respectively, in the 12-month period ending June 1997.
In the manufacturing sector, employment losses slowed between 1992 and 1994.
After an average annual job loss of 33,500 from 1989 through 1992, New Jersey's
factory job losses fell to 13,300 during 1993 and 7,300 during 1994. During 1995
and 1996, however, manufacturing job losses increased slightly to 10,100 and
13,900 respectively, reflecting a slowdown in national manufacturing production
activity. While experiencing growth in the number of production workers in 1994,
the number declined in 1995 at the
17
<PAGE>
same time that managerial and office staff were also reduced as part of
nationwide downsizing. Through August 1996, layoffs of white collar workers and
corporate downsizing appear to be abating.
Conditions have slowly improved in the construction industry, where
employment has risen by 18,600 since its low in May 1992. Between 1992 and 1996,
this sector's hiring rebound was driven primarily by increased homebuilding and
nonresidential projects. During 1996 and the first five months of 1997, public
works projects and homebuilding became the growth segments while nonresidential
construction lessened but remained positive.
STATE FINANCES. The State operates on a fiscal year beginning July 1 and
ending June 30. For example, "Fiscal Year 1999" refers to the State's fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1998 and ending June 30, 1999.
The General Fund is the fund into which all State revenues not otherwise
restricted by statute are deposited and from which appropriations are made. The
largest part of the total financial operations of the State is accounted for in
the General Fund. Revenues received from taxes and unrestricted by statute, most
federal revenue and certain miscellaneous revenue items are recorded in the
General Fund. The appropriations act provides the basic framework for the
operation of the General Fund. Undesignated Fund Balances are available for
appropriation in succeeding fiscal years. There have been positive Undesignated
Fund Balances in the General Fund at the end of each year since the State
Constitution was adopted in 1947. The estimates for Fiscal Year 1998 and Fiscal
Year 1999 reflect the amounts contained in the Governor's Fiscal Year 1999
Budget Message delivered on February 10, 1998.
In Fiscal Years 1996 and 1997, the actual General Fund balances were $442.0
million and $280.5 million, respectively, and total Undesignated Fund Balances
were $882.2 million and $1,106.4 million. For Fiscal Years 1998 and 1999 General
Fund balances are estimated to be $268.7 million and $144.0 million,
respectively, and total Undesignated Fund Balances are estimated to be $1,021.3
million and $6750.0 million.
FISCAL YEARS 1998 AND 1999 STATE REVENUE ESTIMATES--SALES AND USE TAX. The
revised estimate forecasts Sales and Use tax collections for Fiscal Year 1998 as
$4,720.0 million, a 6.9% increase from the Fiscal Year 1997 revenue. The Fiscal
Year 1999 estimate of $4,928.0 million is a 4.4% increase from the Fiscal Year
1998 estimate.
GROSS INCOME TAX. The revised estimate forecasts Gross Income Tax
collections for Fiscal Year 1998 of $5,340.0 million, a 10.7% increase from
Fiscal year 1997 revenue. The Fiscal Year 1999 estimate of $5,860.0 million, is
a 9.7% increase from the Fiscal Year 1998 estimate. Included in the Fiscal Year
1998 estimate and the Fiscal Year 1999 estimate is the enactment of a property
tax deduction to be phased in over a three-year period, permitting a deduction
by resident taxpayers against gross income tax of a percentage of their property
taxes.
CORPORATION BUSINESS TAX. The revised estimate forecasts Corporation
Business Tax collection for Fiscal Year 1998 as $1,315.1 million, a 2.2%
decrease from Fiscal Year 1997 revenue. The Fiscal Year 1999 estimate of
$1,431.0 million, is an 8.8% increase from the Fiscal year 1998 estimate.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS. Estimated receipts from State taxes and revenues,
including the three principal taxes set forth above, are forecasts based on the
best information available at the time of such forecasts. Changes in economic
activity in the State and the nation, consumption of durable goods, corporate
financial performance and other factors that are difficult to predict may result
in actual collections being more or less than forecasted.
Should revenues be less than the amount anticipated in the budget for a
fiscal year, the Governor may, pursuant to statutory authority, prevent any
expenditure under any appropriation. There are additional means by which the
Governor may ensure that the State is operated efficiently and does not incur a
deficit. No supplemental appropriation may be enacted after adoption of an
appropriations act except where there are sufficient revenues on hand or
anticipated, as certified by the Governor, to meet such appropriation. In the
past when actual revenues have been less than the amount anticipated in the
budget, the Governor has exercised her plenary powers leading to, among other
actions, implementation of a hiring freeze for all State departments and the
discontinuation of programs for which appropriations were budgeted but not yet
spent. Under the State Constitution, no general appropriations law or other law
appropriating money for any State purpose may be enacted if the amount of money
appropriated therein, together with all other prior appropriations made for the
same fiscal year, exceeds the total amount of revenue on hand and anticipated to
be available for such fiscal year, as certified by the Governor.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO NEW YORK MUNICIPAL SECURITIES
The financial condition of the State of New York ("New York State" or the
"State"), its public authorities and public benefit corporations (the
"Authorities") and its local governments, particularly the City of New York (the
"City"), could affect the market values and marketability of, and therefore the
net asset value per share and the interest income of a Fund, or result in the
default of existing obligations, including obligations which may be held by the
Fund. The following section provides only a brief summary of the complex factors
affecting the financial situation in New York and is based on information
obtained from New York State, certain of its Authorities, the City and certain
other localities as publicly available on the date of this Annual Information
Statement. The information contained in such publicly available documents has
not been independently verified. It should be noted that the creditworthiness of
obligations issued by local issuers may be unrelated to the creditworthiness of
New York State, and that there is no obligation on the part of New York State to
make payment on such local obligations in the event of default in the absence of
a specific guarantee or pledge provided by New York State.
ECONOMIC FACTORS. New York is the third most populous state in the nation
and has a relatively high level of personal wealth. The State's economy is
diverse, with a comparatively large share of the nation's finance, insurance,
transportation, communications and services employment, and a very small share
of the nation's farming and mining activity. The State's location and its
excellent air transport facilities and natural harbors have made it an important
link in international commerce. Travel and tourism constitute an important part
of the economy. Like the rest of the nation, New York has a declining proportion
of its workforce engaged in manufacturing, and an increasing proportion engaged
in service industries.
Both the State and the City experienced substantial revenue increases in the
mid-1980s attributable directly (corporate income and financial corporations
taxes) and, indirectly (personal income and a variety of other taxes) to growth
in new jobs, rising profits and capital appreciation derived from the finance
sector of the City's economy. Economic activity in the City has experienced
periods of growth and recession and
19
<PAGE>
can be expected to experience periods of growth and recession in the future. In
recent years, the City has experienced increases in employment. Real per capita
personal income (i.e, per capita personal income adjusted for the effects of
inflation and the differential in living costs) has generally experienced fewer
fluctuations than employment in the City. Although the City periodically
experienced declines in real per capita personal income between 1969 and 1981,
real per capita personal income in the City has generally increased from the
mid-1980s until the present. In nearly all of the years between 1969 and 1988
the City experienced strong increases in retail sales. However, from 1989 to
1993, the City experienced a weak period of retail sales. Since 1994, the City
has returned to a period of growth in retail sales. Overall, the City's economic
improvement accelerated significantly, in fiscal year 1997. Much of the increase
can be traced to the performance of the securities industry, but the City's
economy also produced gains in the retail trade sector, the hotel and tourism
industry, and business services, with private sector employment higher than
previously forecasted. The City's current Financial Plan assumes that, after
strong growth in 1997-1998, moderate economic growth will exist through calendar
year 2002, with moderating job growth and wage increases. However, there can be
no assurance that the economic projections assumed in the Financial Plan will
occur or that the tax revenues projected in the Financial Plan to be received
will be received in the amounts anticipated.
During the calendar years 1984 through 1991, the State's rate of economic
expansion was somewhat slower than that of the nation as a whole. In the
1990-1991 national recession, the economy of the Northeast region in general and
the State in particular was more heavily damaged than that of the rest of the
nation and has been slower to recover.
Although the national economy began to expand in 1991, the State economy
remained in recession until 1993, when employment growth resumed. Currently the
State economy continues to expand, but growth remains somewhat slower than in
the nation. Although the State has added over 400,000 jobs since late 1992,
employment growth has been hindered during recent years by significant cutbacks
in the computer and instrument manufacturing, utility, defense and banking
industries. Government downsizing has also moderated these job gains. Personal
income increased substantially in 1992 and 1993. The State's economy entered
into the fourth year of a slow recovery in 1996. Most of the growth occurred in
the trade, construction and service industries, with business, social services
and health sectors accounting for most of the service industry growth.
The State has released information regarding the national and state economic
activity in its Annual Information Statement of the State of New York dated June
26, 1998 ("Annual Information Statement" and updated August 3, 1998 ("Update to
the Annual Information Statement"). At the State level, the Annual Information
Statement projects continued expansion during the 1998 calendar year, with
employment growth gradually slowing as the year progresses. The financial and
business service sectors are expected to continue to do well, while employment
in the manufacturing and government sectors will post only small, if any
declines. On an average annual basis, the employment growth rate in the State is
expected to be higher than in 1997 and the unemployment rate is expected to drop
further to 6.1 percent. Personal income is expected to record moderate gains in
1998. Wage growth in 1998 is expected to be slower than in the previous year as
the recent robust growth in bonus payments moderates.
Personal income tax collections for 1998-99 are projected to reach $21.41
billion, or $3.67 billion above the reported 1997-98 collection total. Total
business tax collections in 1998-99 are now projected to be $4.95 billion, $100
million less than received in the prior fiscal year. Receipts from user taxes
and fees
20
<PAGE>
are projected to total $7.14 billion, an increase of $107 million from reported
collections in the prior year. Other tax receipts are projected to total $1.02
billion--$75 million below last year's amount. Total miscellaneous receipts are
projected to reach $1.40 billion, down almost $200 million from the prior year.
Transfers from other funds are expected to total $1.8 billion, or $222 million
less than total receipts from this category during 1997-98.
General Fund disbursements in 1998-99, including transfers to support
capital projects, debt service and other funds are estimated at $36.78 billion.
This represents an increase of $2.43 billion or 7.1 percent from 1997-98. Nearly
one-half of the growth is for educational purposes, reflecting increased support
for public schools, special education programs and the State and City university
systems. The remaining increase is primarily for Medicaid, mental hygiene, and
other health and social welfare programs, including children and family
services. The 1998-99 Financial Plan also includes funds for the current
negotiated salary increases for State employees, as well as increased transfers
for debt service. Grants to local governments is the largest category of General
Fund disbursements and includes financial assistance to local governments and
not-for-profit corporations, as well as entitlement benefits to individuals. The
1998-99 Financial Plan projects spending of $25.14 billion in this category, an
increase of $1.88 billion or 8.1 percent over the prior year. The largest annual
increases are for educational programs, Medicaid, other health and social
welfare programs, and community projects grants. The 1998-99 budget provides
$9.65 billion in support of public schools. The year-to-year increase of $769
million is comprised of partial funding for a 1998-99 school year increase of
$847 million as well as the remainder of the 1997-98 school year increase that
occurs in State fiscal year 1998-99. Spending for all other educational
programs, which includes the State and City university systems, the Tuition
Assistance Program, and handicapped programs, is estimated at $3.00 billion, an
increase of $270 million over 1997-98 levels. Medicaid costs are estimated at
$5.60 billion, an increase of $144 million from the prior year.
The 1998-99 Financial Plan projects a closing fund balance in the General
Fund of $1.67 billion. This fund balance is composed of a reserve of $1.01
billion available for future needs, a $400 million balance in the Tax
Stabilization Reserve Fund ("TSRF"), a $158 million in the Community Projects
Fund ("CPF"), and a balance of $100 million in the Contingency Reserve Fund
("CRF") after a projected deposit of $32 million in 1998-99.
The economic and financial condition of the State may be affected by various
financial, social, economic and political factors. These factors can be very
complex, may vary from fiscal year to fiscal year, and are frequently the result
of actions taken not only by the State and its agencies and instrumentalities,
but also by entities, such as the federal government, that are not under the
control of the State. Because of the uncertainty and unpredictability of these
factors, their impact cannot, as a practical matter, be included in the
assumptions underlying the State's projections at this time. As a result, there
can be no assurance that the State economy will not experience results in the
current fiscal year that are worse than predicted, with corresponding material
and adverse effects on the State's projections of receipts and disbursements.
The State Financial Plan is based upon forecasts of national and State
economic activity developed through both internal analysis and review of State
and national economic forecasts prepared by commercial forecasting services and
other public and private forecasters. Economic forecasts have frequently failed
to predict accurately the timing and magnitude of changes in the national and
the State economies, including consumer attitudes toward spending, the extent of
corporate and governmental restructuring, the condition of the financial sector,
federal fiscal and monetary policies, the level of interest
21
<PAGE>
rates, and the condition of the world economy, which could have an adverse
effect on the State's projections of receipts and disbursements.
THE STATE. Owing to the factors mentioned above and other factors, the State
may, in future years, face substantial potential budget gaps resulting from a
significant disparity between tax revenues projected from a lower recurring
receipts base and the future costs of maintaining State programs at current
levels.
Total General Fund receipts in 1998-99 are projected to be $37.81 billion,
an increase of $3.26 billion from the $34.55 billion recorded in 1997-98. This
total included $34.36 billion in tax receipts, $1.40 billion in miscellaneous
receipts, and $1.80 billion in transfers from other funds. However, many complex
political, social and economic forces influence the State's economy and
finances, which may in turn affect the State's Financial Plan. These forces may
affect the State unpredictably from fiscal year to fiscal year and are
influenced by governments, institutions, and organizations that are not subject
to the State's control. The State Financial Plan is also necessarily based upon
forecasts of national and State economic activity. Economic forecasts have
frequently failed to predict accurately the timing and magnitude of changes in
the national and the State economies. Because of the uncertainty and
unpredictability of changes in these factors, their impact cannot be fully
included in the assumptions underlying the State's projections.
An additional risk to the State Financial Plan arises from the potential
impact of certain litigation and of federal disallowances now pending against
the State, which could adversely affect the State's projections of receipts and
disbursements. The State Financial Plan assumes no significant litigation or
federal disallowance or other federal actions that could affect State finances,
but has significant reserves in the event of such an action.
REVENUE BASE. The State's principal revenue sources are economically
sensitive, and include the personal income tax, user taxes and fees and business
taxes. The 1998-99 Financial Plan projects General Fund receipts (including
transfers from other funds) of $37.56 billion, an increase of over 3 billion
from the $34.55 billion recorded in 1997-98. This total includes $34.36 billion
in tax receipts, $1.40 billion in miscellaneous receipts, and $1.80 billion in
transfers from other funds.
The transfer of a portion of the surplus recorded in 1997-98 to 1998-99
exaggerates the "real" growth in State receipts from year to year by depressing
reported 1997-98 figures and inflating 1998-99 projections. Conversely, the
incremental cost of tax reductions newly effective in 1998-99 and the impact of
statutes earmarking certain tax receipts to other funds work to depress apparent
growth below the underlying growth in receipts attributable to expansion of the
State's economy. On an adjusted basis, State tax revenues in the 1998-99 fiscal
year are projected to grow at approximately 7.5 percent, following an adjusted
growth of roughly nine percent in the 1997-98 fiscal year. On an adjusted basis,
State tax revenues in the 1998-99 fiscal year are projected to grow at
approximately 7.5 percent, following an adjusted growth of roughly nine percent
in the 1997-98 fiscal year.
The PERSONAL INCOME TAX is imposed on the income of individuals, estates and
trusts and is based on federal definitions of income and deductions with certain
modifications. This tax continues to account for over half of the State's
General Fund receipts base. Net personal income tax collections are projected to
reach $21.41 billion, nearly $3.67 billion above the reported 1997-98 collection
total. Since 1997 represented the completion of the 20 percent income tax
reduction program enacted in 1995, growth from 1997 to 1998 will be unaffected
by major income tax reductions. Adding to the projected annual growth is
22
<PAGE>
the net impact of the transfer of the surplus from 1997-98 to the current year
which affects reported collections by over $2.4 billion on a year-over-year
basis, as partially offset by the diversion of slightly over $700 million in
income tax receipts to the STAR fund to finance the initial year of the school
tax reduction program. The STAR program was enacted in 1997 to increase the
State share of school funding and reduce residential school taxes. Adjusted for
these transactions, the growth in net income tax receipts is roughly $1.7
billion, an increase of over 9 percent. This growth is largely a function of
over 8 percent growth in income tax liability projected for 1998 as well as the
impact of the 1997 tax year settlement on 1998-99 net collections.
USER TAXES AND FEES comprised of three quarters of the State four percent
sales and use tax (the balance, one percent, flows to support Government
Assistance Corporation ("LGAC") debt service requirements), cigarette, alcoholic
beverage container, and auto rental taxes, and a portion of the motor fuel
excise levies. Also included in this category are receipts from the motor
vehicle registration fees and alcoholic beverage license fees. A portion of the
motor fuel tax and motor vehicle registration fees and all of the highway use
tax are earmarked for dedicated transportation funds.
Receipts from user taxes and fees receipts are projected to total $7.14
billion, an increase of $107 million from reported collections in the prior
year. The sales tax component of this category accounts for all of the 1998-99
growth, as receipts from all other sources decline $100 million. The growth in
yield of the sales tax in 1998-99, after adjusting for tax law and other
changes, is projected at 4.7 percent. The yields of most of the excise taxes in
this category show a long-term declining trend, particularly cigarette and
alcoholic beverage taxes. These General Fund declines are exacerbated in 1998-99
by revenue losses from scheduled and newly enacted tax reductions, and by an
increase in earmarking of motor vehicle registration fees to the Dedicated
Highway and Bridge Trust Fund.
BUSINESS TAXES include franchise taxes based generally on net income of
general business, bank and insurance corporations, as well as gross receipt
taxes on utilities and galling-based petroleum business taxes. Beginning in
1994, a 15 percent surcharge on these levies began to be phased out and, for
most taxpayers, there is no surcharge liability for taxable periods ending in
1997 and thereafter.
Total business tax collections in 1998-99 are now projected to be $4.95
billion, $100 million less than received in the prior fiscal year. The category
includes receipts from the largely income-based levies on general business
corporations, banks and insurance companies, gross receipts taxes on energy and
telecommunication service providers and a per-gallon imposition on petroleum
business. The year-over-year decline in projected receipts in this category is
largely attributable to statutory changes between the two years. These include
the first year of utility-tax rate cuts and the Power for Jobs tax reduction
program for energy providers, and the scheduled additional diversion of General
Fund petroleum business and utility tax receipts to other funds. In addition,
profit growth is also expected to slow in 1998.
OTHER TAXES include estate, gift and real estate transfer taxes, a tax on
gains from the sale or transfer of certain real estate (this tax was repealed in
1996), a pari-mutuel tax and other minor levies. They are now projected to total
$1.02 billion--$75 million below last year's amount. Two factors account for a
significant part of the expected decline in collections from this category.
First, the effects of the elimination of the real property gains tax
collections; second, a decline in estate tax receipts, following the explosive
growth recorded in 1997-98, when receipts expanded by over 16 percent.
23
<PAGE>
MISCELLANEOUS RECEIPTS include investment income, abandoned property
receipts, medical provider assessments, minor federal grants, receipts from
public authorities, and certain other license and fee revenues. Total
miscellaneous receipts are projected to reach $1.40 billion, down almost $200
million from the prior year, reflecting the loss of non-recurring receipts in
1997-98 and the growing effects of the phase-out of the medical provider
assessments.
TRANSFERS FROM OTHER FUNDS to the General Fund consist primarily of tax
revenues in excess of debt service requirements, particularly the one percent
sales tax used to support payments to LGAC. Transfers from other funds are
expected to total $1.8 billion, or $222 million less than total receipts from
this category during 1997-98. Total transfers of sales taxes in excess of LGAC
debt service requirements are expected to increase by approximately $51 million,
while transfers from all other funds are expected to fall by $273 million,
primarily reflecting the absence, in 1998-99, of a one-time transfer of nearly
$200 million for retroactive reimbursement of certain social services claims
from the federal government.
STATE DEBT. General Fund disbursements in 1998-99, including transfers to
support capital projects, debt service and other funds are estimated at $36.78
billion. This represents an increase of $2.43 billion or 7.1 percent from
1997-98. Nearly one-half of the growth is for educational purposes, reflecting
increased support for public schools, special education programs and the State
and City university systems. The remaining increase is primarily for Medicaid,
mental hygiene and other health and social welfare programs, including children
and family services. The 1998-99 Financial Plan also includes funds for the
current negotiated salary increase for State employees, as well as increased
transfers for debt service.
NONRECURRING SOURCES. The Division of the Budget estimates that the 1998-99
State Financial Plan contains actions that provide nonrecurring resources of
savings totaling approximately $64 million, the largest of which is a
retroactive reimbursement of federal welfare claims.
OUTYEAR PROJECTIONS OF RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS. State law requires the
Governor to propose a balanced budget each year. In recent years, the State has
closed projected budget gaps of $5.0 billion (1995-96), $3.9 billion (1996-97),
$2.3 billion (1997-98), and less than $1 billion (1998-99). The State, as part
of the 1998-99 Executive Budget projections submitted to the Legislature in
February 1998, projected a 1999-00 General Fund budget gap of approximately $1.7
billion and a 2000-01 gap of $3.7 billion. As a result of changes made in the
1998-99 enacted budget, the 1999-00 gap is now expected to be roughly $1.3
billion, or about $400 million less than previously projected, after application
of reserves created as part of the 1998-99 budget process. Such reserves would
not be available against subsequent year imbalances.
Sustained growth in the State's economy could contribute to closing
projected budget gaps over the next several years, both in terms of
higher-than-projected tax receipts and in lower-than-expected entitlement
spending. However, the State's projections in 1999-00 currently assume actions
to achieve $600 million in lower disbursements and $250 million in additional
receipts from the settlement of State claims against the tobacco industry.
Consistent with past practice, the projections do not include any costs
associated with new collective bargaining agreements after the expiration of the
current round of contracts at the end of the 1998-99 fiscal year. The State
expects that the 1999-00 Financial Plan will achieve savings from initiatives by
State agencies to deliver services more efficiently, workforce management
efforts, maximization of federal and non-General Fund spending offsets, and
other actions necessary to bring projected disbursements and receipts into
balance.
24
<PAGE>
The State will formally update its outyear projections of receipts and
disbursements for the 2000-01 and 2001-02 fiscal years as a part of the 1999-00
Executive Budget process, as required by law. The revised expectations for years
2000-01 and 2001-02 will reflect the cumulative impact of tax reductions and
spending commitments enacted over the last several years as well as new 1999-00
Executive Budget recommendations. The STAR program, which dedicates a portion of
personal income tax receipts to fund school tax reductions, has a significant
impact on General Fund receipts. STAR is projected to reduce personal income tax
revenues available to the General Fund by an estimated $1.3 billion in 2000-01.
Measured from the 1998-99 base, scheduled reductions to estate and gift, sales
and other taxes, reflecting tax cuts enacted in 1997-98 and 1998-99, will lower
General Fund taxes and fees by an estimated $1.8 billion in 2000-01.
Disbursement projections for the outyears currently assume additional outlaws
for school aid, Medicaid, welfare reform, mental health community reinvestment,
and other multi-year spending commitments in law.
LABOR COSTS. The State government workforce is mostly unionized, subject to
the Taylor-Law which authorizes collective bargaining and prohibits (but has
not, historically, prevented) strikes and work slowdowns. Costs for employee
health benefits have increased substantially, and can be expected to further
increase. The State has a substantial unfunded liability for future pension
benefits, and has utilized changes in its pension fund investment return
assumptions to reduce current contribution requirements. If such investment
earnings assumptions are not sustained by actual results, additional State
contributions will be required in future years to meet the State's contractual
obligations. The State's change in actuarial method from the aggregate cost
method to a modified projected unit credit in FY1990-91 created a substantial
surplus that was amortized and applied to offset the State's contribution
through FY1993-94. This change in actuarial method was ruled unconstitutional by
the State's highest court and the State returned to the aggregate cost method in
FY1994-95 using a four year phase in. Employer contributions, including the
State's, are expected to increase over the next five to ten years. Since January
1995, the State's workforce has been reduced by about 10 percent, and is
projected to remain at its current level of approximately 191,000 persons in
1998-99 year. The State is currently preparing for negotiations with various
unions to establish new agreements since most of the existing contracts will
expire on March 31, 1999.
On August 22, 1996, the President signed into law the Personal
Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. This federal
legislation fundamentally changed the programmatic and fiscal responsibilities
for administration of welfare programs at the federal, state and local levels.
The law abolished the federal Aid to Families with Dependent Children program
(AFDC), and created a new Temporary Assistance to Needy Families with Dependent
Children program (TANF) funded with a fixed federal block grant to states. The
law also imposed (with certain exceptions) a five era durational limit on TANF
recipients, required that virtually all recipients be engaged in work or
community service activities within two years of receipt benefits, and limited
assistance provided to certain immigrants and other classes of individuals.
States are required to meet work activity participation targets for their TANF
caseload; these requirements are phased in over time. States that fail to meet
these federally mandated job participation rates, or that fail to conform with
certain other federal standards, face potential sanctions in the form of a
reduced federal block grant.
Proposed legislation that includes both provisions necessary to implement
the State's TANF plan to conform with federal law and implement the Governor's
welfare reform proposal is still pending before the Legislature. There can be no
assurances of timely enactment of certain conforming provisions required
25
<PAGE>
under the federal law. Further delay increases the risk that the States could
incur fiscal penalties for failure to comply with federal law.
MEDICAID. New York participates in the federal Medicaid program under a
state plan approved by the Health Care Financing Administration. The federal
government provides a substantial portion of eligible program costs, with the
remainder shared by the State and its counties (including the City). Basic
program eligibility and benefits are determined by federal guidelines, but the
State provides a number of optional benefits and expanded eligibility. Program
costs have increased substantially in recent years, and account for a rising
share of the State budget. Federal law requires that the State adopt
reimbursement rates for hospitals and nursing homes that are reasonable and
adequate to meet the costs that must be incurred by efficiently and economically
operated facilities in providing patient care, a standard that has led to past
litigation by hospitals and nursing homes seeking higher reimbursement from the
State. General Fund payments for Medicaid are projected to be $5.60 billion, an
increase of $144 million from the prior year. After adjusting 1997-98 for the
$116 million prepayment of an additional Medicaid cycle, Medicaid spending is
projected to increase $260 million of 4.9 percent. Disbursements for all other
health and social welfare programs are projected to total $3.63 billion, an
increase of $131 million from 1997-98. This includes an increase in support for
children and families and local public health programs, offset by a decline in
welfare spending of $75 million that reflects continuing State and local efforts
to reduce welfare fraud, declining caseloads, and the impact of State and
federal welfare reform legislation.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. New York State is currently addressing "Year 2000"
data processing compliance issues. The Year 2000 compliance issues ("Y2K")
arises because most computer software programs allocate two digits to the data
field for "year" on the assumption that the first two digits will be "19". Such
programs will thus interpret the year 2000 as the year 1900 absent
reprogramming. Y2K could impact both the ability to enter data into computer
programs and the ability of such programs to correctly process data.
In 1996, the State created the Office for Technology (OFT) to help address
statewide technology issues, including the Year 2000 issue. OFT has estimated
that investments of at least $140 million will be required to bring
approximately 350 State mission-critical and high-priority computer systems not
otherwise scheduled for replacement into Year 2000 compliance, and the State is
planning to spend $100 million in the 1998-99 fiscal year for this purpose.
Mission-critical computer applications are those which impact the health, safety
and welfare of the State and its citizens, and for which failure to be in Y2K
compliance could have a material and adverse impact upon State operations.
High-priority computer applications are those that are critical for a State
agency to fulfill its mission and deliver services, but for which there are
manual alternatives. Work has been completed on roughly 20 percent of these
systems. All remaining unfinished mission-critical and high-priority systems
have at least 40 percent or more of the work completed. Contingency planning is
underway for those systems which may be non-compliant prior to failure dates.
The enacted budget also continues funding for major systems scheduled for
replacement, including the State payroll, civil service, tax and finance and
welfare management systems, for which Year 2000 compliance is included as a part
of the project.
OFT is monitoring compliance on a quarterly basis and is providing
assistance and assigning resources to accelerate compliance for mission critical
systems, with most compliance testing expected to be completed by mid-1999.
There can be no guarantee, however, that all of the State's mission-critical and
26
<PAGE>
high-priority computer systems will be Year 2000 compliant and that there will
not be an adverse impact upon State operations or State finances as a result.
THE STATE AUTHORITIES. The fiscal stability of the State is related in part
to the fiscal stability of its public authorities. Public authorities are not
subject to the constitutional restrictions on the incurrence of debt which apply
to the State itself and may issue bonds and notes within the amounts and
restrictions set forth in legislative authorization. The State's access to the
public credit markets could be impaired and the market price of its outstanding
debt may be materially and adversely affected if any of its public authorities
were to default on their respective obligations, particularly those using the
financing techniques referred to as State-supported or State-related debt.
The State has numerous public authorities with various responsibilities,
including those which finance, construct and/or operate revenue producing public
facilities. Public authority operating expenses and debt service costs are
generally paid by revenues generated by the projects financed or operated, such
as tolls charged for the use of highways, bridges or tunnels, charges for public
power, electric and gas utility services, rentals charged for housing units, and
charges for occupancy at medical care facilities. In addition, State legislation
authorizes several financing techniques for public authorities. Also there are
statutory arrangements providing for State local assistance payments otherwise
payable to localities to be made under certain circumstances to public
authorities. Although the State has no obligation to provide additional
assistance to localities whose local assistance payments have been paid to
public authorities under these arrangements, the affected localities may seek
additional State assistance if local assistance payments are diverted. Some
authorities also receive moneys from State appropriations to pay for the
operating costs of certain of their programs. The MTA receives the bulk of this
money in order to provide transit and commuter services.
Beginning in 1998, the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) assumed
responsibility for the provision of electric utility services previously
provided by Long Island Lighting Company for Nassau, Suffolk and a portion of
Queen Counties, as part of an estimated $7 billion financing plan.
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY. Since 1980, the State has enacted
several taxes including a surcharge on the profits of banks, insurance
corporations and general business corporations doing business in the 12 county
Metropolitan Transportation Region served by the MTA and a special one quarter
of 1 percent regional sales and use tax that provide revenues for mass transit
purposes, including assistance to the MTA. Since 1987 State law has required
that the proceeds of a one-quarter of 1 percent mortgage recording tax paid on
certain mortgages in the Metropolitan Transportation Region be deposited in a
special MTA fund for operating or capital expenses. In 1993, the State dedicated
a portion of certain additional State petroleum business tax receipts to fund
operating or capital assistance to the MTA. For the 1998-99 fiscal year, State
assistance to the MTA is projected to total approximately $1.3 billion, an
increase of $133 million over the 1997-98 fiscal year.
State legislation accompanying the 1996-97 adopted State budget authorized
the MTA, Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority and Transit Authority to issue
an aggregate of $6.5 billion in bonds to finance a portion of the $12.17 billion
MTA capital plan for the 1995 through 1999 calendar years (the "1995-99 Capital
Program"). In July 1997, the Capital Program Review Board (CPRB) approved the
1995-99 Capital Program (subsequently amended in August 1997), which supersedes
the overlapping portion of the MTA's 1992-96 Capital Program. The 1995-99
Capital Program is the fourth capital plan since the
27
<PAGE>
Legislature authorized procedures for the adoption, approval and amendment of
MTA capital programs and is designed to upgrade the performance of the MTA's
transportation systems by investing in new rolling stock, maintaining
replacement schedules for existing assets and bringing the MTA system into a
state of good repair. The 1995-99 Capital Program assumes the issuance of an
estimated $5.2 billion in bonds under this $6.5 billion aggregate bonding
authority. The remainder of the plan is projected to financed through assistance
from the State, the federal government, and the City of New York, and from
various other revenues generated from actions taken the MTA.
There can be no assurance that all the necessary governmental actions for
the 1995-99 Capital Program or future capital programs will be taken, that
funding sources currently identified will not be decreased or eliminated, or
that the 1995-99 Capital Program, or parts thereof, will not be delayed or
reduced. Should funding levels fall below current projections, the MTA would
have to revise its 1995-99 Capital Program accordingly. If the 1995-99 Capital
Program is delayed or reduced, ridership and fare revenues may decline, which
could, among other things, impair the MTA's ability to meet its operating
expenses without additional assistance.
THE CITY. The fiscal health of the State may also be affected by the fiscal
health of New York City (City), which continues to receive significant financial
assistance from the State. State aid contributes to the City's ability to
balance its budget and meet its cash requirements. The State may also be
affected by the ability of the City and certain entities issuing debt for the
benefit of the City to market their securities successfully in the public credit
markets.
The City has achieved balanced operating results for each of its fiscal
years since 1981 as measured by the GAAP standards in force at that time.
However, in the early 1970s, the City incurred substantial operating deficits,
and its financial controls, accounting practices and disclosure policies were
widely criticized. In response to the City's fiscal crisis in 1975, the State
took action to assist the City in returning to fiscal stability. Among these
actions, the State established the Municipal Assistance Corporation For The City
of New York ("MAC") to provide financing assistance for the City; the New York
State Financial Control Board (the Control Board) to oversee the City's
financial affairs, and the Office of the State Deputy Comptroller for the City
of New York (OSDC) to assist the Control Board in exercising its powers and
responsibilities. A "control period" existed from 1975 to 1986, during which the
City was subject to certain statutorily-prescribed fiscal controls. The Control
Board terminated the control period in 1986 when certain statutory conditions
were met. State law requires the Control Board to reimpose a control period upon
the occurrence, or "substantial likelihood and imminence" of the occurrence, of
certain events, including (but not limited to) a City operating budget deficit
of more than $100 million or impaired access to the public credit markets.
The City provides services usually undertaken by counties, school districts
or special districts in other large urban areas, including the provision of
social services such as day care, foster care, health care, family planning,
services for the elderly and special employment services for needy individuals
and families who qualify for such assistance. State law requires the City to
allocate a large portion of its total budget to Board of Education operations,
and mandates that the City assume the local share of public assistance and
Medicaid costs. For each of the 1981 through 1996 fiscal years, the City
achieved balanced operating results as reported in accordance with then
applicable generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The City was
required to close substantial budget gaps in recent years in order to maintain
balanced operating results. There can be no assurance that the City will
continue to maintain a balanced budget as
28
<PAGE>
required by State law without additional tax or other revenue increases or
additional reductions in City services or entitlement programs, which could
adversely affect the City's economic base.
Pursuant to the New York State Financial Emergency Act for The City of New
York (the "Financial Emergency Act" or the "Act"), the City prepares a four year
annual financial plan, which is reviewed and revised on a quarterly basis and
which includes the City's capital, revenue and expense projections and outlines
proposed gap closing programs for years with projected budget gaps. The City's
projections set forth in the 1999-2002 Financial Plan are based on various
assumptions and contingencies which are uncertain and which may not materialize.
Changes in major assumption could significantly affect the City's ability to
balance its budget and to meet its annual cash flow and financing requirements.
Such assumptions and contingencies include the timing and pace of a regional and
local economic recovery, increases in tax revenues, employment growth, the
ability to implement proposed reductions in City personnel and other cost
reduction initiatives which may require in certain cases the cooperation of the
City's municipal unions, the ability of New York City Health and Hospitals
Corporation and the Board of Education to take actions to offset reduced
revenues, the ability to complete revenue generating transactions, provision of
State and federal aid and mandate relief, and the impact on City revenues of
proposals for federal and State welfare reform. No assurance can be given that
the assumptions used by the City in the 1999-2002 Financial Plan will be
realized. Due to the uncertainty existing on the federal and state levels, the
ultimate adoption of the State budget for FY 1997-98 may result in substantial
reductions in projected expenditures for social spending programs. Cost
containment assumptions contained in the 1997-2000 Financial Plan and the City
FY 1997-98 Budget may therefore be significantly adversely affected upon the
final adoption of the State budget for FY 1997-98. Furthermore, actions taken in
recent fiscal years to avert deficits may have reduced the City's flexibility in
responding to future budgetary imbalances, and have deferred certain
expenditures to later fiscal year.
The 1999-2002 Financial Plan projects revenues and expenditures for the 1999
fiscal year balanced in accordance with GAAP, and projects gaps of $1.5 billion,
$2.1 billion and $1.6 billion for the 2000, 2001 and 2002 fiscal years,
respectively.
On April 24, 1998 the City released the Financial Plan for the 1999 through
2002 fiscal years, which relates to the City and certain entities which receive
funds from the City, and which is based on the Executive Budget and Budget
Message for the City's 1999 fiscal year (the "Executive Budget"). The Executive
Budget and Financial Plan project revenues and expenditures for the 1999 fiscal
year balanced in accordance with GAAP, and project gaps of $1.5 billion, $2.1
billion and $1.6 billion for the 2000, 2001 and 2002 fiscal years, respectively.
Changes since the June Financial Plan include: (i) an increase in projected
tax revenues of $1.3 billion, $1.1 billion, $955 million, $897 million and $1.7
billion in the 1998 through 2002 fiscal years, respectively; (ii) a reduction in
assumed State aid of $283 million in the 1998 fiscal year and of between $134
million and $142 million in each of the 1999 through 2002 fiscal years,
reflecting the adopted budget for the State's 1998 fiscal year; (iii) a delay in
the assumed collection of $350 million of projected rent payments for the City's
airports in the 1999 fiscal year to fiscal years 2000 through 2002; (iv) a
reduction in projected debt service expenditures totaling $197 million, $361
million, $204 million and $226 million in the 1998 through 2001 fiscal years,
respectively; (v) an increase in the Board of Education (the "BOE") spending of
$266 million, $26 million, $58 million and $193 million in the 1999 through 2002
fiscal years, respectively; (vi) an increase in expenditures for the City's
proposed drug initiatives totaling $68 million in the 1998
29
<PAGE>
fiscal year and of between $167 million and $193 million in each of the 1999
through 2002 fiscal years; (vii) other agency net spending initiatives totaling
$112 million, $443 million, $281 million, $273 million and $677 million in
fiscal years 1998 through 2002, respectively; and (viii) reduced pension costs
of $116 million, $168 million and $404 million in fiscal years 2000 through
2002, respectively. The Financial Plan also sets forth gap closing actions for
the 1998 through 2002 fiscal years, which include: (i) additional agency actions
totaling $176 million, $595 million, $516 million, $494 million and $552 million
in fiscal years 1998 through 2002, respectively, and (ii) assumed additional
Federal and State aid of $100 million in each of fiscal years 1999 through 2002.
The 1998 Modification and the 1999-2002 Financial Plan include a proposed
discretionary transfer in the 1998 fiscal year of approximately $2.0 billion to
pay debt service due in the 1999 fiscal year, and a proposed discretionary
transfer in the 1999 fiscal year of $416 million to pay debt service due in
fiscal year 2000, included in the Budget Stabilization Plan for the 1998 and
1999 fiscal years, respectively. In addition, the Financial Plan reflects
proposed tax reduction programs totaling $237 million, $537 million, $657
million and $666 million in fiscal years 1999 through 2002, respectively,
including the elimination of the City sales tax on all clothing as of December
1, 1999, a City funded acceleration of the State funded personal income tax
reduction for the 1999 through 2001 fiscal years, the extension of current tax
reductions for owners of cooperative and condominium apartments starting in
fiscal year 2000 and a personal income tax credit for child care and for
residential holders of Subchapter S corporations, which are subject to State
legislative approval, and reduction of the commercial rent tax commencing in
fiscal year 2000.
Although the City has maintained balanced budgets in each of its last
sixteen fiscal years and is projected to achieve balanced operating results for
the 1998 fiscal year, there can be no assurance that the gap closing actions
proposed in the Financial Plan can be successfully implemented or that the City
will maintain a balanced budget in future years without additional State aid,
revenue increases or expenditure reductions. Additional tax increases and
reductions in essential City services could adversely affect the City's economic
base.
The City derives its revenues from a variety of local taxes, user charges
and miscellaneous revenues, as well as from Federal and State unrestricted and
categorical grants. State aid as a percentage of the City's revenues has
remained relatively constant over the period from 1980 to 1997, while
unrestricted Federal aid has been sharply reduced. The City projects that local
revenues will provide approximately 66.9% of total revenues in the 1998 fiscal
year while Federal aid, including categorical grants, will provide 13.2%, and
State aid, including unrestricted aid and categorical grants, will provide
19.7%.
The City since 1981 has fully satisfied its seasonal financing needs in the
public credit markets, repaying all short term obligations within their fiscal
year of issuance. The City has issued $1.075 billion of short term obligations
in fiscal year 1998 to finance the City's projected cash flow needs for the 1998
fiscal year. The City issued $2.4 billion of short term obligations in fiscal
year 1997. Seasonal financing requirements for the 1996 fiscal year increased to
$2.4 billion from $2.2 billion and $1.75 billion in the 1995 and 1994 fiscal
years, respectively. The delay in the adoption of the State's budget in certain
past fiscal years has required the city to issue short term notes in amounts
exceeding those expected early in such fiscal years.
30
<PAGE>
The City makes substantial capital expenditures to reconstruct and
rehabilitate the city's infrastructure and physical assets, including City mass
transit facilities, sewers, streets, bridges and tunnels, and to make capital
investments that will improve productivity in City operations.
The City utilizes a three tiered capital planning process consisting of the
Ten Year Capital Strategy, the Four Year Capital Plan and the current year
Capital Budget. The Ten Year Capital Strategy is a long term planning tool
designed to reflect fundamental allocation choices and basic policy objectives.
The Four Year Capital Program translates mid-range policy goals into specific
projects. The Capital Budget defines specific projects and the timing of their
initiation, design, construction and completion.
This City's projection of its capital financing need pursuant to the Mayor's
Declaration of Need and Proposed Transitional Capital Plan of June 30, 1997
indicates additional projected debt and contract liabilities of approximately $3
billion for fiscal year 1998. To provide for the City's capital program, State
legislation was enacted which created the Finance Authority, the debt of which
is not subject to the general debt limit. Without the Finance Authority or other
legislative relief, new contractual commitments for the City's general
obligation financed capital program would have been virtually brought to a halt
during the Financial Plan period beginning early in the 1998 fiscal year. By
utilizing projected Finance Authority borrowing and including the Finance
Authority's projected borrowing as part of the total debt incurring power set
forth in the following table, the City's total debt incurring power has been
increased. Even with the increase, the City may reach the limit of its capacity
to enter into new contractual commitments in fiscal year 2000.
OTHER LOCALITIES. Certain localities outside New York City have experienced
financial problems and have requested and received additional State assistance
during the last several State fiscal years. The cities of Yonkers and Troy
continue to operate under State-ordered control agencies. The potential impact
on the State of any future requests by localities for additional oversight or
financial assistance is not included in the projections of the State's receipts
and disbursements for the State's 1998-99 fiscal year.
Eighteen municipalities received extraordinary assistance during the 1996
legislative session through $50 million in special appropriations targeted for
distressed cities, and twenty-eight municipalities received more than $32
million in targeted unrestricted aid in the 1997-98 budget. Both of these
emergency aid packages were largely continued through the 1998-99 budget. The
State also dispersed an additional $21 million among all cities, towns and
villages after enacting a 3.9 percent increase in General Purpose State Aid in
1997-98 and continued this increase in 1998-99.
The 1998-99 budget includes an additional $29.4 million in unrestricted aid
targeted to 57 municipalities across the State. Other assistance for
municipalities with special needs totals more than $25.6 million. Twelve upstate
cities will receive $24.2 million in one-time assistance from a cash flow
acceleration of State aid.
Municipalities and school districts have engaged in substantial short term
and long term borrowings. In 1996, the total indebtedness of all localities in
the State other than New York City was approximately $20.0 billion. A small
portion (approximately $77.2 million) of that indebtedness represented borrowing
to finance budgetary deficits and was issued pursuant to State enabling
legislation. State law requires the Comptroller to review and make
recommendations concerning the budgets of those local government units other
than New York City authorized by State law to issue debt to finance deficits
during the period that
31
<PAGE>
such deficit financing is outstanding. Twenty-one localities had outstanding
indebtedness for deficit financing at the close of their fiscal year ending in
1996.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS. The following investment limitations cannot be
changed with respect to a Fund without the affirmative vote of the lesser of (1)
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund or (2) 67% or more of the
shares present at a shareholders' meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding
shares are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy. If a percentage
restriction is adhered to at the time of an investment or transaction, a later
increase or decrease in percentage resulting from changing values of portfolio
securities or amount of total assets will not be considered a violation of any
of the following limitations.
Each Fund will not:
(1) purchase any security if, as a result of that purchase, 25% or more
of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of issuers
having their principal business activities in the same industry,
except that this limitation does not apply to securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities
or to municipal securities or to certificates of deposit and bankers'
acceptances of domestic branches of U.S. banks.
The following interpretations apply to, but are not a part of, this
fundamental limitation (a): With respect to this limitation, domestic
and foreign banking will be considered to be different industries: and
(b) asset-backed securities will be grouped in industries based upon
their underlying assets and not treated as constituting a single,
separate industry.
(2) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and then not in
excess of 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets (including the amount of
the senior securities issued but reduced by any liabilities not
constituting senior securities) at the time of the issuance or
borrowing, except that the Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of
its total assets (not including the amount borrowed) for temporary or
emergency purposes.
(3) make loans, except through loans of portfolio securities or through
repurchase agreements, provided that for purposes of this
restriction, the acquisition of bonds, debentures, other debt
securities or instruments or participations or other interests
therein and investments in government obligations, commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances or similar instruments
will not be considered the making of a loan.
The following interpretation applies to, but is not a part of, this
fundamental restriction: The Fund's investments in master notes, funding
agreements and similar instruments will not be considered to be the
making of a loan.
(4) engage in the business of underwriting securities of other issuers,
except to the extent that the Fund might be considered an underwriter
under the federal securities laws in connection with its disposition
of portfolio securities.
32
<PAGE>
(5) purchase or sell real estate, except that investments in securities
of issuers that invest in real estate and investments in
mortgage-backed securities, mortgage participations or other
instruments supported by interests in real estate are not subject to
this limitation, and except that the Fund may exercise rights under
agreements relating to such securities, including the right to
enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason
of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated in an
orderly manner.
(6) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
owning securities or other instruments, but the Fund may purchase,
sell or enter into financial options and futures, forward and spot
currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts
or derivative instruments.
Money Market Portfolio, U.S. Government Portfolio and Tax-Free Fund will
not:
(7) purchase securities of any one issuer if, as a result, more than 5%
of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of that
issuer or the Fund would own or hold more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of that issuer, except that up to 25% of the Fund's
total assets may be invested without regard to this limitation, and
except that this limitation does not apply to securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities
or to securities issued by other investment companies.
With respect to Money Market Portfolio and U.S. Government Portfolio, the
following interpretation applies to, but is not a part of, fundamental
limitation (7): Mortgage- and asset-backed securities will not be considered to
have been issued by the same issuer by reason of the securities having the same
sponsor, and mortgage- and asset-backed securities issued by a finance or other
special purpose subsidiary that are not guaranteed by the parent company will be
considered to be issued by a separate issuer from the parent company.
With respect to Tax-Free Fund, the following interpretation applies to, but
is not a part of, fundamental limitation (7): Each state, territory and
possession of the United States (including the District of Columbia and Puerto
Rico), each political subdivision, agency, instrumentality and authority
thereof, and each multi-state agency of which a state is a member is a separate
"issuer." When the assets and revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality
or other political subdivision are separate from the government creating the
subdivision and the security is backed only by the assets and revenues of the
subdivision, such subdivision would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly,
in the case of an IDB or PAB, if that bond is backed only by the assets and
revenues of the non-governmental user, then that non-governmental user would be
deemed to be the sole issuer. However, if the creating government or another
entity guarantees a security, then to the extent that the value of all
securities issued or guaranteed by that government or entity and owned by the
Fund exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets, the guarantee would be considered a
separate security and would be treated as issued by that government or entity.

NON-FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS. The following investment
restrictions are not fundamental and may be changed by each board without
shareholder approval.
Each Fund will not:
(1) purchase securities on margin, except for short-term credit
necessary for clearance of portfolio transactions and except that
the Fund may make margin deposits in connection with its use of
financial options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts,
swap transactions and other financial contracts or derivative
instruments.
(2) engage in short sales of securities or maintain a short position,
except that the Fund may (a) sell short "against the box" and (b)
maintain short positions in connection with its use of financial
options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap
transactions and other financial contracts or derivative
instruments.
(3) purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the
extent permitted by the 1940 Act and except that this limitation
does not apply to securities received or acquired as dividends,
through offers of exchange, or as a result of reorganization,
consolidation, or merger.
(4) purchase portfolio securities while borrowings in excess of 5% of
its total assets are outstanding.
(5) invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

Mitchell Hutchins personnel may invest in securities for their own accounts
pursuant to a code of ethics that describes the fiduciary duty owed to
shareholders of the PaineWebber mutual funds and other Mitchell Hutchins'
advisory accounts by all Mitchell Hutchins' directors, officers and employees,
establishes procedures for personal investing and restricts certain
transactions. For example, employee accounts generally must be maintained at
PaineWebber, personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance and
short-term trading and participation in initial public offerings generally are
prohibited. In addition, the code of ethics puts restrictions on the timing of
personal investing in relation to trades by the PaineWebber mutual funds and
other Mitchell Hutchins advisory clients.
DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS. PaineWebber acts as distributor of shares of the
Funds under separate distribution contracts with each Corporation or Trust
("Distribution Contracts") which require PaineWebber to use its best efforts,
consistent with its other business, to sell shares of the Funds. Shares of the
Funds are offered continuously. Payments by U.S. Government Portfolio, Tax-Free
Fund, California Municipal Money Fund, New Jersey Municipal Money Fund and New
York Municipal Money Fund to compensate or reimburse PaineWebber for certain
expenses incurred in connection with its activities in providing certain
shareholder and account maintenance services (and, for New Jersey Municipal
Money Fund, distributing its shares) are authorized under the Distribution
Contracts and made in accordance with related plans of distribution ("Plans")
adopted by each Corporation or Trust with respect to those Funds in the manner
prescribed by Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. No such payments have been
authorized for Money Market Portfolio.
Among other things, each Plan provides that (1) PaineWebber will submit to
the board at least quarterly, and the board members will review, reports
regarding all amounts expended under the Plan and the purposes for which such
expenditures were made, (2) the Plan will continue in effect only so long as it
is approved at least annually, and any material amendment thereto is approved,
by the board, including those board members who are not "interested persons" of
the Corporation or Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest
in the operation of the Plan or any agreement related to the Plan, acting
44
<PAGE>
in person at a meeting called for that purpose, (3) payments by a Fund under the
Plan shall not be materially increased without the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the affected Fund's outstanding shares and (4) while
the Plan remains in effect, the selection and nomination of board members who
are not "interested persons" of the Corporation or Trust shall be committed to
the discretion of the board members who are not "interested persons" of the
Corporation or Trust.
Under the applicable Plan, U.S. Government Portfolio, Tax-Free Fund,
California Municipal Money Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund each is
authorized to pay PaineWebber a service fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at
the annual rate of up to 0.15% of its average daily net assets. Each of these
Funds currently pays service fees to PaineWebber at the annual rate of .125% of
average daily net assets. Any increase from the current annual rate would
require prior approval of the board. Under the applicable Plan, New Jersey
Municipal Money Fund reimburses PaineWebber for certain service and distribution
expenses at an annual rate of up to 0.12% of its average daily net assets.
During their fiscal years ended June 30, 1998, U.S. Government Portfolio,
Tax-Free Fund, California Municipal Money Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund
paid or accrued to PaineWebber service fees of $1,151,934, $2,249,750, $553,196
and $332,649, respectively. For the same periods, PaineWebber estimates that it
incurred expenses of $485,000, $793,000, $314,000 and $250,000, respectively, in
servicing Fund shareholders. PaineWebber estimates that these expenses were
incurred for each of these Funds, respectively, as follows: (a) allocated costs
related to shareholder servicing--$161,000, $161,000, $163,000 and $162,000; and
(b) service fees to Investment Executives--$324,000, $632,000, $151,000 and
$88,000.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, New Jersey Municipal Money Fund
paid or accrued to PaineWebber 12b-1 fees of $70,645. For the same period,
PaineWebber estimates that it incurred expenses of $145,000 in distributing
shares of this Fund and servicing Fund shareholders. PaineWebber estimates that
these expenses were incurred for New Jersey Municipal Money Fund as follows: (a)
advertising and promotion--$27,500; (b) printing--$87; and (c) service fees to
Investment Executives--$16,000.
"Allocated costs" include various internal costs allocated by PaineWebber to
its efforts at providing certain shareholder and account maintenance services.
These internal costs encompass office rent, salaries and other overhead expenses
of various PaineWebber departments and areas of operations.
In approving the continuance of the Plan for each Fund, the applicable board
considered all features of the distribution system for the Fund, including (a)
PaineWebber's view that the payment of service fees (and distribution fees for
New Jersey Municipal Money Fund) at the annual rate of 0.02% (0.02% for New
Jersey Municipal Money Fund) of the average daily net assets of the Fund held in
shareholder accounts serviced by Investment Executives and correspondent firms
was attractive to such Investment Executives and correspondent firms and would
result in greater growth of the Fund than might otherwise be the case, (b) the
extent to which Fund shareholders might benefit from economies of scale
resulting from growth in the Fund's assets and shareholder account size and the
potential for continued growth, (c) the services provided to the Fund and its
shareholders by PaineWebber pursuant to the applicable Distribution Contract,
(d) PaineWebber's expenses and costs under the Plan as described above and (e)
the fact that the expense to the Fund of the Plan could be offset if the Plan is
successful by the lower advisory fee rates that may be triggered as assets reach
higher levels.
With respect to each Plan, the applicable board considered the benefits that
would accrue to PaineWebber under the Plan in that PaineWebber would receive
service and advisory fees that are calculated based upon a percentage of the
average net assets of the Fund, which fees would increase if the Plan is
successful and the Fund attains and maintains increased asset levels.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
The Funds purchase portfolio securities from dealers and underwriters as
well as from issuers. Securities are usually traded on a net basis with dealers
acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated commission. Prices
paid to dealers in principal transactions generally include a "spread," which is
the difference between the prices at which the dealer is willing to purchase and
sell a specific security at the time. When securities are purchased directly
from an issuer, no commissions or discounts are paid. When securities are
purchased in underwritten offerings, they include a fixed amount of compensation
to the underwriter.
The Mitchell Hutchins Contracts authorize Mitchell Hutchins (with the
approval of each Corporation's or Trust's board) to select brokers and dealers
to execute purchases and sales of each Fund's portfolio securities. The
Contracts direct Mitchell Hutchins to use its best efforts to obtain the best
available price and most favorable execution with respect to all transactions
for the Funds. To the extent that the execution and price offered by more than
one dealer are comparable, Mitchell Hutchins may, in its discretion, effect
transactions in portfolio securities with dealers who provide the Funds with
research, analysis, advice and similar services. Although Mitchell Hutchins may
receive certain research or execution services in connection with these
transactions, Mitchell Hutchins will not purchase securities at a higher price
or sell securities at a lower price than would otherwise be paid if no weight
was attributed to the services provided by the executing dealer. Moreover,
Mitchell Hutchins will not enter into any explicit soft dollar arrangements
relating to principal transactions and will not receive in principal
transactions the types of services that could be purchased for hard dollars.
Research services furnished by the dealers through which or with which a Fund
effects securities transactions may be used by Mitchell Hutchins in advising
other funds or accounts and, conversely, research services furnished to Mitchell
Hutchins in connection with other funds or accounts that Mitchell Hutchins
advises may be used in advising the Fund. Information and research received from
dealers will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the services required to be
performed by Mitchell Hutchins under the Mitchell Hutchins Contracts. During its
past three fiscal years, no Fund has paid any brokerage commissions; therefore,
none has allocated any brokerage transactions for research, analysis, advice and
similar services.
Mitchell Hutchins may engage in agency transactions in over-the-counter
equity and debt securities in return for research and execution services. These
transactions are entered into only in compliance with procedures ensuring that
the transaction (including commissions) is at least as favorable as it would
have been if effected directly with a market-maker that did not provide research
or execution services. These procedures include Mitchell Hutchins receiving
multiple quotes from dealers before executing the transactions on an agency
basis.
Investment decisions for each Fund and for other investment accounts managed
by Mitchell Hutchins are made independently of each other in light of differing
considerations for the various accounts. However, the same investment decision
may occasionally be made for a Fund and one or more of such accounts. In such
cases, simultaneous transactions are inevitable. Purchases or sales are then
averaged as to price and allocated between the Fund and such other account(s) as
to amount according to a formula deemed equitable to the Fund and such
account(s). While in some cases this practice could have a detrimental effect
upon the price or value of the security as far as the Fund is concerned or upon
its ability to complete its entire order, in other cases it is believed that
coordination and the ability to participate in volume transactions will be
beneficial to the Fund.

HOLDINGS OF REGULAR BROKER-BROKERS
As of June 30, 1998, Money Market Portfolio owned commercial paper and
short-term corporate obligations issued by the following persons who are regular
broker-dealers for that Fund: Bear Stearns Companies Incorporated $303,311,447;
Goldman Sachs Group LP $98,173,665; Lehman Brothers Holdings Incorporated
$507,944,575; Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. $338,658,217; and Morgan Stanley, Dean
Witter & Discover Company $267,579,733.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING REDEMPTIONS
Each Fund may suspend redemption privileges or postpone the date of payment
during any period (1) when the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is closed or
trading on the NYSE is restricted as determined by the SEC, (2) when an
emergency exists, as defined by the SEC, that makes it not reasonably
practicable for a Fund to dispose of securities owned by it or to determine
fairly the market value of its assets or (3) as the SEC may otherwise permit.
The redemption price may be more or less than the shareholder's cost, depending
on the market value of the Fund's portfolio at the time, although each Fund
seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.
If conditions exist that make cash payments undesirable, California
Municipal Money Fund and New York Municipal Money Fund each reserve the right to
honor any request for redemption by making payment in whole or in part in
securities chosen by the Fund and valued in the same way as they would be valued
for purposes of computing the Fund's net asset value. If payment is made in
securities, a shareholder may incur brokerage expenses in converting these
securities into cash. Managed Municipal Trust has elected, however, to be
governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, under which it is obligated to redeem
shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value
of either Fund during any 90-day period for one shareholder. This election is
irrevocable unless the SEC permits its withdrawal.
Under normal circumstances, a Fund will redeem shares when so requested by a
shareholder's broker-dealer other than PaineWebber by telegram or telephone to
PaineWebber. Such a redemption order will be executed at the net asset value
next determined after the order is received by PaineWebber. Redemptions of Fund
shares effected through a broker-dealer other than PaineWebber may be subject to
a service charge by that broker-dealer.
VALUATION OF SHARES
Each Fund uses its best efforts to maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per
share. Each Fund's net asset value per share is determined by State Street Bank
and Trust Company ("State Street") as of 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on each
Business Day. As defined in the Prospectus, "Business Day" means any day on
which State Street's Boston offices, the New York City offices of PaineWebber
and PaineWebber's bank, The Bank of New York, are all open for business. One or
more of these institutions will be closed on the observance of the following
holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good
Friday, Patriot's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day,
Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
Each Fund values its portfolio securities in accordance with the amortized
cost method of valuation under Rule 2a-7 ("Rule") under 1940 Act. To use
amortized cost to value its portfolio securities, a Fund must adhere to certain
conditions under the Rule relating to the Fund's investments, some of which are
discussed in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information.
Amortized cost is an
47
<PAGE>
approximation of market value, whereby the difference between acquisition cost
and value at maturity of the instrument is amortized on a straight-line basis
over the remaining life of the instrument. The effect of changes in the market
value of a security as a result of fluctuating interest rates is not taken into
account, and thus the amortized cost method of valuation may result in the value
of a security being higher or lower than its actual market value. If a large
number of redemptions take place at a time when interest rates have increased, a
Fund might have to sell portfolio securities prior to maturity and at a price
that might not be desirable.
Each board has established procedures for the purpose of maintaining a
constant net asset value of $1.00 per share, which include a review of the
extent of any deviation of net asset value per share, based on available market
quotations, from the $1.00 amortized cost per share. If that deviation exceeds
1/2 of 1% for any Fund, its board will promptly consider whether any action
should be initiated to eliminate or reduce material dilution or other unfair
results to shareholders. Such action may include redeeming shares in kind,
selling portfolio securities prior to maturity, reducing or withholding
dividends and utilizing a net asset value per share as determined by using
available market quotations. Each Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of 90 days or less and except as otherwise indicated herein
will not purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than 13
months, will limit portfolio investments, including repurchase agreements, to
those U.S. dollar-denominated instruments that are of high quality and that
Mitchell Hutchins determines (pursuant to delegated authority from the
appropriate board) present minimal credit risks and will comply with certain
reporting and recordkeeping procedures. There is no assurance that constant net
asset value per share will be maintained. If amortized cost ceases to represent
fair value, the relevant board will take appropriate action.
In determining the approximate market value of portfolio investments, each
Fund may employ outside organizations, which may use a matrix or formula method
that takes into consideration market indices, matrices, yield curves and other
specific adjustments. This may result in the securities being valued at a price
different from the price that would have been determined had the matrix or
formula method not been used.
TAXES
FEDERAL TAXES. To continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated
investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code, each Fund must
distribute to its shareholders for each taxable year at least 90% of its
investment company taxable income (consisting generally of taxable net
investment income and net short-term capital gain, if any) plus, in the case of
each Municipal Fund, its net interest income excludable from gross income under
section 103(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and must meet several additional
requirements. With respect to each Fund, these requirements include the
following: (1) the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income each
taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities
loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of securities and certain other
income; (2) at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, at least
50% of the value of its total assets must be represented by cash and cash items,
U.S. government securities and other securities, with these other securities
limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount that does not exceed 5% of
the value of the Fund's total assets; and (3) at the close of each quarter of
the Fund's taxable year, not more than 25% of the value of its total assets may
be invested in securities (other than U.S. government securities) of any one
issuer.
48
<PAGE>
Dividends paid by a Municipal Fund will qualify as "exempt-interest
dividends," and thus will be excludable from gross income by its shareholders,
if it satisfies the additional requirement that, at the close of each quarter of
its taxable year, at least 50% of the value of its total assets consists of
securities the interest on which is excludable from gross income under section
103(a). Each Municipal Fund intends to continue to satisfy this requirement. The
aggregate amount annually designated by a Municipal Fund as exempt-interest
dividends may not exceed its interest for the year that is excludable under
section 103(a) over certain amounts disallowed as deductions. The shareholders'
treatment of dividends from the Municipal Funds under state and local income tax
laws may differ from the treatment thereof under the Internal Revenue Code.
Tax-exempt interest attributable to certain PABs (including, in the case of
a Municipal Fund receiving interest on such bonds, a proportionate part of the
exempt-interest dividends paid by that Fund) is subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax. Exempt-interest dividends received by a corporate
shareholder also may be indirectly subject to that tax without regard to whether
a Municipal Fund's tax-exempt interest was attributable to those bonds. PABs are
issued by or on behalf of public authorities to finance various privately
operated facilities and are described in the Prospectus.
Entities or persons who are "substantial users" (or persons related to
"substantial users") of facilities financed by IDBs or PABs should consult their
tax advisers before purchasing shares of a Municipal Fund because, for users of
certain of these facilities, the interest on those bonds is not exempt from
federal income tax. For these purposes, the term "substantial user" is defined
generally to include a "non-exempt person" who regularly uses in trade or
business a part of a facility financed from the proceeds of IDBs or PABs.
Up to 85% of social security and railroad retirement benefits may be
included in taxable income for recipients whose adjusted gross income (including
income from tax-exempt sources such as a Municipal Fund) plus 50% of their
benefits exceeds certain base amounts. Exempt-interest dividends from the
Municipal Funds still are tax-exempt to the extent described above and in the
Prospectus; they are only included in the calculation of whether a recipient's
income exceeds the established amounts.
If a Municipal Fund invests in any instruments that generate taxable income,
under the circumstances described in the Prospectus and in the discussion of
municipal market discount bonds below, the portion of any Fund dividend
attributable to the interest earned thereon will be taxable to that Fund's
shareholders as ordinary income to the extent of its earnings and profits and
only the remaining portion will qualify as an exempt-interest dividend. The
respective portions will be determined by the "actual earned" method, under
which the portion of any dividend that qualifies as an exempt-interest dividend
may vary, depending on the relative proportions of tax-exempt and taxable
interest earned during the dividend period. Moreover, if a Municipal Fund
realizes capital gain as a result of market transactions, any distribution of
that gain will be taxable to its shareholders.
Each Municipal Fund may invest in municipal bonds that are purchased,
generally not on their original issue, with market discount (that is, at a price
less than the principal amount of the bond or, in the case of a bond that was
issued with original issue discount, a price less than the amount of the issue
price plus accrued original issue discount) ("municipal market discount bonds").
If a bond's market discount is less than the product of (1) 0.25% of the
redemption price at maturity times (2) the number of complete years to maturity
after the taxpayer acquired the bond, then no market discount is considered to
exist. Gain on the disposition of a municipal market discount bond (other than a
bond with a fixed maturity date
49
<PAGE>
within one year from its issuance) generally is treated as ordinary (taxable)
income, rather than capital gain, to the extent of the bond's accrued market
discount at the time of disposition. Market discount on such a bond generally is
accrued ratably, on a daily basis, over the period from the acquisition date to
the date of maturity. In lieu of treating the disposition gain as above, a
Municipal Fund may elect to include market discount in its gross income
currently, for each taxable year to which it is attributable.
Dividends from investment company taxable income paid to a shareholder who,
as to the United States, is a nonresident alien individual, nonresident alien
fiduciary of a trust or estate, foreign corporation or foreign partnership
("foreign shareholder") generally are subject to a 30% withholding tax, unless
the applicable tax rate is reduced by a treaty between the United States and the
shareholder's country of residence. Withholding does not apply to a dividend
paid to a foreign shareholder that is "effectively connected with the
[shareholder's] conduct of a trade or business within the United States," in
which case the withholding requirements applicable to domestic taxpayers apply.
Exempt-interest dividends paid by the Municipal Funds are not subject to
withholding.
Each Fund will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax to the extent it
fails to distribute by the end of any calendar year substantially all its
ordinary (I.E., taxable) income for that year and any capital gain net income
for the one-year period ending October 31 of that year, plus certain other
amounts.
CALIFORNIA TAXES. In any year in which California Municipal Money Fund
qualifies as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code and 50% or more of its assets
at the close of each quarter of its taxable year are invested in obligations the
interest on which is exempt from personal income taxation by the State of
California, the Fund will be qualified under California law to pay
"exempt-interest" dividends which will be exempt from the California personal
income tax.
Individual shareholders of California Municipal Money Fund who reside in
California will not be subject to California personal income tax on
distributions received from the Fund to the extent such distributions are
attributable to interest on tax-exempt obligations issued by the State of
California or a California local government (or interest earned on tax-exempt
obligations of U.S. possessions or territories), provided that the Fund
satisfies the requirement of California law that at least 50% of its assets at
the close of each quarter of its taxable year be invested in obligations the
interest on which is exempt from personal income taxation by the State of
California. Income distributions from the Fund that are attributable to sources
other than those described in the preceding sentence will generally be taxable
to such shareholders as ordinary income. However, distributions from the Fund,
if any, that are derived from interest on obligations of the U.S. government may
also be designated by the Fund and treated by its shareholders as exempt from
California personal income tax, provided that the foregoing 50% requirement is
satisfied. In addition, distributions to such shareholders other than
exempt-interest dividends will be includable in income subject to the California
alternative minimum tax.
Shareholders of California Municipal Money Fund who are subject to the
California corporate franchise tax will be required to include distributions of
investment income and capital gains in their taxable income for purposes of that
tax. In addition, such distributions may be includable in income subject to the
alternative minimum tax.
Shares of California Municipal Money Fund will not be subject to the
California property tax.
The foregoing is a general, abbreviated summary of certain of the provisions
of the tax laws of the State of California presently in effect as they directly
govern the taxation of shareholders of California
50
<PAGE>
Municipal Money Fund. These provisions are subject to change by legislative or
administrative action, and any such change may be retroactive with respect to
Fund transactions. Shareholders are advised to consult with their own tax
advisers for more detailed information concerning California tax matters.
NEW YORK TAXES. Individual shareholders of New York Municipal Money Fund
will not be required to include in their gross income for New York State and
City purposes any portion of distributions received from the Fund that are
directly attributable (i) to interest earned on tax-exempt obligations issued by
New York State or any political subdivisions thereof (including the City) or
(ii) interest earned on obligations of U.S. possessions or territories that is
exempt from state taxation pursuant to federal law, provided that the Fund
qualifies as a RIC and satisfies the requirement that at least 50% of its assets
at the close of each quarter of its taxable year constitute obligations the
interest on which is tax-exempt for federal income tax purposes. Distributions
from the Fund that are attributable to sources other than those described in the
preceding sentence (including interest on obligations of other states and their
political subdivisions) will generally be taxable to individual shareholders as
ordinary income. However, distributions by the Fund, if any, that are derived
from interest earned on obligations of the U.S. government may also be
designated by the Fund and treated by its shareholders as exempt from personal
income taxation for New York State and City purposes, provided that at least 50%
of the value of its total assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable
year is invested in such obligations.
Shareholders of New York Municipal Money Fund that are subject to the New
York State corporation franchise tax or the City general corporation tax will be
required to include exempt-interest dividends paid by the Fund in their "entire
net income" for purposes of such taxes and will be required to include their
shares of the Fund in their investment capital for purposes of such taxes.
Shareholders of New York Municipal Money Fund will not be subject to the
unincorporated business tax imposed by the City solely by reason of their
ownership of shares in the Fund. If a shareholder is subject to unincorporated
business taxation by the City, income and gains distributed by the Fund will be
subject to such taxation except to the extent such distributions are directly
attributable to interest earned on tax-exempt obligations issued by New York
State or any political subdivision thereof (including the City).
Shares of New York Municipal Money Fund will not be subject to property
taxes imposed by New York State or the City.
Interest on indebtedness incurred by shareholders to purchase or carry
shares of New York Municipal Money Fund generally will not be deductible for New
York State personal income tax purposes.
Interest income of New York Municipal Money Fund that is distributed to its
shareholders will generally not be taxable to the Fund for purposes of the New
York State corporation franchise tax or the City general corporation tax.
The foregoing is a general, abbreviated summary of certain of the provisions
of the tax laws of New York State and the City presently in effect as they
directly govern the taxation of shareholders of New York Municipal Money Fund.
These provisions are subject to change by legislative or administrative action,
and any such change may be retroactive with respect to Fund transactions.
Shareholders are advised to consult with their own tax advisers for more
detailed information concerning New York State and City tax matters.

NEW JERSEY TAXES. New Jersey Municipal Money Fund anticipates that
substantially all dividends paid by it will not be subject to the New Jersey
gross income tax. In accordance with the provisions of New Jersey law as
currently in effect, distributions paid by a "qualified investment fund" will
not be subject to the New Jersey gross income tax to the extent the
distributions are attributable to income received as interest or gain from New
Jersey Municipal Securities or direct U.S. government obligations or certain
other specified obligations. To be classified as a qualified investment fund, at
least 80% of the Fund's investments must consist of such obligations.
Distributions by a qualified investment fund that are attributable to most other
sources will be subject to the New Jersey gross income tax. If the Fund
continues to qualify as a qualified investment fund, any gain on the redemption
of its shares will not be subject to the New Jersey gross income tax. To the
extent a shareholder of the Fund is obligated to pay state or local taxes
outside of New Jersey, dividends earned by such shareholder may represent
taxable income.
The shares of New Jersey Municipal Money Fund are not subject to property
taxation by New Jersey or its political subdivisions.
The foregoing is a general, abbreviated summary of certain of the applicable
provisions of New Jersey tax law presently in effect. These provisions are
subject to change by legislative, judicial or administrative action and any such
change may be either prospective or retroactive with respect to Fund
transactions. Shareholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisers for
more detailed information concerning New Jersey State tax matters.

effect as of the date hereof. Inflation adjusted income brackets for 1998 for
California are not yet available, and the California rates thus are still
subject to change with retroactive effect for 1998.
TAX-FREE INCOME VS. TAXABLE INCOME--NEW YORK MUNICIPAL MONEY FUND. Table
III below illustrates approximate equivalent taxable and tax-free yields at the
federal individual, and New York State and New York City personal, income tax
rates in effect on the date of this Statement of Additional Information. For
example, a New York City couple with taxable income of $90,000 in 1998, or a
single individual with taxable income of $55,000 in 1998 who lives in New York
City, whose investments earn a 4% tax-free yield, would have to earn a 6.23%
taxable yield to receive the same benefit. A couple who lives in New York State
outside of New York City with taxable income of $90,000 in 1998, or a single
individual who lives in New York State outside of New York City with taxable
income of $55,000 in 1998, would have to earn a 5.96% taxable yield to realize a
benefit equal to a 4% tax-free yield.

Fund distributions (other than New Jersey personal income taxes).
CALCULATION OF YIELD
Each Fund computes its yield and effective yield quotations using
standardized methods required by the SEC. Each Fund from time to time advertises
(1) its current yield based on a recently ended seven-day period, computed by
determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a
hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share at the beginning
of the period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from that
shareholder account, dividing the difference by the value of the account at the
beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return and then
multiplying the base period return by (365/7), with the resulting yield figure
carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent; and (2) its effective
yield based on the same seven-day period by compounding the base period return
by adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal to (365/7), and subtracting 1 from
the result, according to the following formula:
365/7
EFFECTIVE YIELD = [(BASE PERIOD RETURN + 1) ] - 1
55
<PAGE>
Each Municipal Fund from time to time also advertises its tax-equivalent
yield and tax-equivalent effective yield, also based on a recently ended
seven-day period. These quotations are calculated by dividing that portion of
the Fund's yield (or effective yield, as the case may be) that is tax-exempt by
1 minus a stated income tax rate and adding the product to that portion, if any,
of the Fund's yield that is not tax-exempt, according to the following formula:
E
TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELD = ( ----- ) + t
1 - p
E = Tax exempt yield
p = stated income tax rate
t = taxable yield
Yield may fluctuate daily and does not provide a basis for determining
future yields. Because the yield of each Fund fluctuates, it cannot be compared
with yields on savings accounts or other investment alternatives that provide an
agreed to or guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time. However, yield
information may be useful to an investor considering temporary investments in
money market instruments. In comparing the yield of one money market fund to
another, consideration should be given to each fund's investment policies,
including the types of investments made, the average maturity of the portfolio
securities and whether there are any special account charges that may reduce the
yield.
The following yields are for the seven-day period ended June 30, 1998:

OTHER INFORMATION. The Funds' performance data quoted in advertising and
other promotional materials ("Performance Advertisements") represent past
performance and are not intended to predict or indicate future results. The
return on an investment in each Fund will fluctuate. In Performance
Advertisements, the Funds may compare their taxable or tax-free yields with data
published by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. for money funds ("Lipper"), CDA
Investment Technologies, Inc. ("CDA"), IBC/ Donoghue's Money Market Fund Report
("Donoghue"), Wiesenberger Investment Companies Service ("Wiesenberger"),
Investment Company Data Inc. ("ICD") or Morningstar Mutual Funds
("Morningstar"), or with the performance of recognized stock and other indexes,
including the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average, the Merrill Lynch Municipal Bond Indices, the Morgan Stanley
Capital World Index, the Lehman Brothers Treasury Bond Index, the Lehman
Brothers Government-Corporate Bond Index, the Salomon Brothers Government Bond
Index and the Consumer Price Index as published by the U.S. Department of
Commerce. The Funds also may refer in such materials to mutual fund performance
rankings and other data, such as comparative asset, expense and fee levels,
published by Lipper, CDA, Donoghue, Wiesenberger, ICD or Morningstar.
Performance Advertisements also may refer to discussions of the Funds and
comparative mutual fund data and ratings reported in independent periodicals,
including THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, MONEY Magazine, FORBES, BUSINESS WEEK,
FINANCIAL WORLD, BARRON'S, FORTUNE, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, THE
WASHINGTON POST and THE KIPLINGER LETTERS.
Each Fund may include discussions or illustrations of the effects of
compounding in Performance Advertisements. "Compounding" refers to the fact
that, if dividends on a Fund investment are reinvested by being paid in
additional Fund shares, any future income of the Fund would increase the value,
not only of the original Fund investment, but also of the additional Fund shares
received through reinvestment. As a result, the value of a Fund investment would
increase more quickly than if dividends had been paid in cash.
Each Fund may also compare its performance with the performances of bank
certificates of deposit ("CDs") as measured by the CDA Certificate of Deposit
Index and the Bank Rate Monitor National Index and the averages of yields of CDs
of major banks published by Banxquotes-Registered Trademark- Money Markets. In
comparing a Fund's performance to CD performance, investors should keep in mind
that bank CDs are insured in whole or in part by an agency of the U.S.
government and offer fixed principal and fixed or variable rates of interest and
that bank CD yields may vary depending on the financial institution offering the
CD and prevailing interest rates. Advertisements and other promotional materials
for the Funds or for the PaineWebber Resource Management Account
("RMA")-Registered Trademark- and Business Services Account ("BSA")-SM- programs
may compare features of the RMA and BSA programs to those offered by bank
checking accounts and other bank accounts. Bank accounts are insured in whole or
in part by an agency of the U.S. government and may offer a fixed rate of
return. Fund shares are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, and
returns thereon will fluctuate. While each Fund seeks to maintain a stable net
asset value of $1.00 per share, there can be no assurance that it will be able
to do so.
OTHER INFORMATION
Each Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts
business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders could, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable for the
57
<PAGE>
obligations of a Trust. However, each Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder
liability for acts or obligations of the Trust and requires that notice of such
disclaimer be given in each note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or
undertaking made or issued by the trustees or by any officers or officer by or
on behalf of that Trust, a Fund, the trustees or any of them in connection with
the Trust. Each Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification from a Fund's
property for all losses and expenses of any shareholder held personally liable
for the obligations of the Fund. Thus, the risk of a shareholder's incurring
financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances
in which a Fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations, a possibility
which PaineWebber believes is remote and not material. Upon payment of any
liability incurred by a shareholder, the shareholder paying such liability will
be entitled to reimbursement from the general assets of the Fund. The trustees
intend to conduct the operations of each Fund in such a way as to avoid, as far
as possible, ultimate liability of the shareholders for liabilities of the Fund.
Prior to February 28, 1996, Municipal Money Market Series was known as
PaineWebber/Kidder, Peabody Municipal Money Market Series. Prior to January 30,
1995, PaineWebber/Kidder, Peabody Municipal Money Market Series was known as
Kidder, Peabody Municipal Money Market Series. Prior to December 15, 1995, New
Jersey Municipal Money Fund was known as New Jersey Series.

Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, serves as counsel to the Funds.
Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP also acts as counsel to PaineWebber and Mitchell
Hutchins in connection with other matters. The law firm of Orrick, Herrington &
Sutcliffe LLP, 400 Sansome Street, San Francisco, CA 94111, serves as counsel to
California Municipal Money Fund with respect to California law. The law firm of
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York
10103-0001, serves as counsel to New York Municipal Money Fund with respect to
New York law and New Jersey Municipal Money Fund with respect to New Jersey law.

APPENDIX A
SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE RMA PROGRAM TO RMA ACCOUNTHOLDERS
Shares of the Funds are available primarily to investors who are
Participants in the Resource Management Account (RMA) program offered by
PaineWebber and its correspondent firms. The following is a summary of some of
the services available to RMA Participants. For more complete information,
investors should refer to separate materials their Investment Executives can
provide them.
THE PAINEWEBBER RMA PREMIER STATEMENT. RMA Participants receive a monthly
Premier account statement, which provides consolidated information to assist
with portfolio management decisions and personal financial planning. The Premier
account statement summarizes securities transactions, cash transactions, cash
advances and checks (if applicable) and provides cost basis information and
calculations of unrealized and realized gains and losses on most investments. A
"Summary of Accounts" statement and a menu of customized statement options is
available to make the monthly reporting even more comprehensive.
PRELIMINARY AND YEAR-END SUMMARIES. RMA Participants receive preliminary
and year-end summary account statements that provide a comprehensive overview of
tax-related activity in the account during the year to help investors with tax
planning.
CHOICE OF MONEY MARKET FUNDS AND AUTOMATIC SWEEP OF UNINVESTED CASH. As
described more fully in the Prospectus under the heading "Purchases--The RMA and
BSA Programs," RMA Participants select a money market fund as a primary fund
into which uninvested cash is automatically swept on a daily basis from a
variety of taxable and tax-free money funds. By automatically investing cash
balances into a money market fund, this sweep feature minimizes the extent to
which an investor's assets remain idle while held in the account pending
investment.
CHECK WRITING. RMA Participants have ready access to the assets held in
their RMA account through the check writing feature. There are no minimum check
amounts or per check charges. The RMA checks also include an expense coding
system that enables the investor to track types of expenses for tax and
financial planning.
DIRECT DEPOSIT. Regular payments from an employer, pension, social security
or other sources may be eligible for electronic deposit into RMA Participants'
accounts.
ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER/BILL PAYMENT SERVICE. RMA Participants can
electronically transfer money between their RMA and other financial
institutions, transfer funds to and from other PaineWebber accounts and pay
bills. A Bill Payment Service is available for an additional charge.
GOLD MASTERCARD-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-. RMA Participants can receive with a
complementary Gold MasterCard debit card that makes account assets easily
accessible. The Gold MasterCard is accepted by, merchants both in the U.S. and
abroad, and can be used to obtain cash advances at thousands of automated teller
machines. Through MasterCard's enhanced MasterAssist-Registered Trademark- and
MasterPurchase-Registered Trademark- programs, investors can obtain other
benefits, including rental car insurance, emergency medical and travel
assistance, legal services and purchase protection.
A-1
<PAGE>
EXTENDED ACCOUNT PROTECTION. Securities held in an RMA Account by
PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms are protected for up to the net
equity through private insurance in the event of the liquidation or failure of
the firm. This protection is in addition to the $500,000 in protection provided
to accountholders by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC").
Neither the SIPC protection nor the additional account protection insurance
applies to shares of the Funds because such shares are registered directly in
the name of the shareholder, and not in the name of PaineWebber or one of its
correspondent firms.
RESOURCE ACCUMULATION PLAN-SM-. The Resource Accumulation Plan is an
automatic mutual fund investment program that provides RMA participants the
ability to purchase shares of mutual funds on a regular, periodic basis. The
minimum purchase in the program is $100 per investment; however, initial minimum
purchase requirements of the designated mutual fund(s) must be met before an
investor can participate in this program. The participant must receive a
prospectus, which contains more complete information (including charges and
expenses), for each fund before the application form to participate in the
Resource Accumulation Plan is submitted.
FINANCIAL SERVICES CENTER AND RESOURCELINE-REGISTERED TRADEMARK-. RMA
Participants have day round the clock access to information concerning their
RMA. This service is available by calling (800) RMA-1000. RMA representatives
are available at the Financial Services Center from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
(Eastern time) weekdays, and from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time)
weekends, to answer inquiries from Participants regarding their accounts, and
ResourceLine, an automated voice response system, provides 24 hour account
information.
MARGIN. RMA Participants may choose to have a margin feature as part of
their RMA account.

SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE BSA PROGRAM FOR BSA ACCOUNTHOLDERS
Shares of the Funds are available to investors who are Participants in the
Business Services Account ("BSA")-Registered Trademark- program. The following
is a summary of some of the services that are available to BSA Participants. For
more complete information, investors should refer to separate materials their
Investment Executives can provide them.
PREMIER BUSINESS SERVICES ACCOUNT STATEMENT--BSA Participants receive a
monthly Premier statement, which provides consolidated information to assist
with portfolio management decisions and business finances. The Premier statement
summarizes securities transactions, card transactions, cash advances and checks
in chronological order with running cash and money fund balances. The "Portfolio

calculated gains and losses on most investments. A menu of customized statement
options is now available to make the monthly reporting more comprehensive.
PRELIMINARY AND YEAR-END SUMMARIES STATEMENT--BSA Participants receive
preliminary and year-end summary information statements that provide a
comprehensive overview of tax-related activity in the account during the year to
help investors plan.
CHOICE OF MONEY MARKET FUNDS AND AUTOMATIC SWEEP OF UNINVESTED CASH--As
described more fully in the Prospectus under the heading "Purchases--The RMA and
BSA Programs," BSA Participants select a money market fund as a primary fund
into which uninvested cash is automatically swept on a daily basis from a
variety of taxable and tax-free money funds. By automatically investing cash
balances into a money market fund, this sweep feature minimizes the extent to
which an investor's assets remain idle while held in the account pending
investment.
CHECK WRITING--BSA Participants have ready access to the assets held in
their BSA account through the check writing feature. There are no minimum check
amounts. Participants can order from a number of business check styles to suit
their check writing needs. The BSA checks also include an expense code system
that enables investors to track business expense types for tax and financial
planning.
MASTERCARD BUSINESSCARD-REGISTERED TRADEMARK---BSA Participants can elect to
receive a complementary MasterCard BusinessCard debit card for easy access to
account assets. The MasterCard BusinessCard is accepted worldwide, and can be
used to obtain cash at thousands of automated teller machines. Through
MasterCard's enhanced MasterAssist-Registered Trademark- and
MasterPurchase-Registered Trademark- programs, investors can obtain other
benefits including full value primary rental car insurance, emergency medical
and travel assistance, legal services and purchase protection.
MARGIN--BSA Participants may choose to have a margin feature as part of
their BSA account.
EXTENDED ACCOUNT PROTECTION--Securities held in a BSA Account by PaineWebber
or one of its correspondent firms are protected for up to the net equity through
private insurance in the event of the liquidation or failure of the firm. This
protection is in addition to the $500,000 in protection provided to
accountholders by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC").
Neither the SIPC protection nor the additional account protection insurance
applies to shares of the Funds because such shares are registered directly in
the name of the shareholder, and not in the name of PaineWebber or one of its
correspondent firms.

FINANCIAL SERVICES CENTER AND RESOURCELINE-REGISTERED TRADEMARK---BSA
Participants can call the Financial Services Center at (800) BSA-0140 from 7:30

their clients using credit cards and debit cards, can have these receipts
automatically deposited into their BSA where their funds will be swept into
their primary sweep Fund thereby continuously earning dividends. Working through
your current merchant processor, or a PaineWebber referral, this service is a
simple way to enhance earnings on your business's cash flow.

against all liability and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by
him in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he becomes
involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his being or having been a trustee
or officer and against amounts paid or incurred by him in the settlement
thereof, in such manner not otherwise prohibited or limited by law as the
trustees may provide from time to time in the By-Laws.
Article VII of the Registrant's By-Laws provides for indemnification of a
present or former trustee, officer, agent or employee of the Registrant or a
person who serves or has served another trust, corporation, partnership, joint
venture or other enterprise in one of such capacities at the request of the
Registrant with respect to each proceeding against such person, except a
proceeding bought by or on behalf of the Registrant, against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding, provided
that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and, with respect
to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. In a proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Registrant, Article
VII provides for no indemnification to a representative of the Registrant if
that person has been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the
performance of his duty to the Registrant unless the court in which the
proceeding was brought or a court of equity in the county in which the
Registrant has its principal office determines otherwise. Article VII also
authorizes the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant or
a person who serves or has served another trust, corporation, partnership, joint
venture or other enterprise in one of such capacities at the request of the
Registrant. Nothing in the By-Laws shall be construed to indemnify any person
against liability otherwise subject to by reason of misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of
his or her office.
Section 9 of the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract between
PaineWebber and the Registrant provides that PaineWebber shall not be liable for
any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by any series
("Fund") or the Registrant in connection with the matters to which the Contract
relates, except for a loss resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith, or
gross negligence of PaineWebber in the performance of its duties or from its
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Contract. Section 13
of the Contract provides that the trustees shall not be liable for any
obligations of the Registrant under the Contract and that PaineWebber shall look
only to the assets and property of the Registrant in settlement of such right or
claim and not to the assets and property of the trustees.
Section 8 of the Sub-Advisory and Sub-Administration Contract between
PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins contains provisions similar to Section 9 of
the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract between the Registrant and
PaineWebber, with respect to PaineWebber.
The indemnification of the principal underwriter against certain
liabilities is provided for in the Distribution Agreement.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant and the principal underwriter pursuant to the foregoing provisions or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer, or
controlling person of the Registrant and the principal underwriter in connection
with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
against the Registrant by such trustee, officer or controlling person or the
principal underwriter in connection with the shares being registered, the
Registrant will unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

BY-LAWS
KIDDER, PEABODY MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET SERIES
ARTICLE I
SHAREHOLDERS
Section 1. PLACE OF MEETING. All meetings of the shareholders
shall be held at the principal office of the Trust in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts or at such other place within the United States as may from time
to time be designated by the Trustees and stated in the notice of such meeting.
Section 2. SPECIAL OR EXTRAORDINARY MEETINGS. Special or
extraordinary meetings of the shareholders for any purpose or purposes may be
called by the Chairman or a majority of the Trustees, and shall be called by
the Secretary upon receipt of a request in writing signed by shareholders
holding not less than 10% of the Shares issued and outstanding and entitled
to vote thereat. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the
proposed meeting. The Secretary shall inform such shareholders of the
reasonably estimated costs of preparing and mailing such notice of meeting
and upon payment to the Trust of such costs, the Secretary shall give notice
stating the purpose or purposes of the meeting as required in this Article
and By-Laws to all shareholders entitled to notice of such meeting. No
special meeting need be called upon the request of the holders of Shares
entitled to cast less than a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at
such meeting to consider any matter which is substantially the same as a
matter voted upon at any special meeting of shareholders held during the
preceding twelve months.
Section 3. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Not less than ten days' or more
than ninety days' written or printed notice of every meeting of shareholders,
stating the time and place thereof (and the general nature of the business
proposed to be transacted at any special or extraordinary meeting), shall be
given to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat by leaving the
<PAGE>
same with him or at his residence or usual place of business or by mailing it,
postage prepaid, and addressed to him at his address as it appears upon the
books of the Trust. If mailed, notice shall be deemed to be given when
deposited in the United States mail addressed to the shareholder as aforesaid.
No notice of the time, place or purpose of any meeting of shareholders need
be given to any shareholder who attends in person or by proxy or to any
shareholder who executes a written waiver of such notice, either before or after
the meeting is held, and which notice is filed with the records of the meeting.
Section 4. RECORD DATES. The Trustees may fix, in advance, a date
not more than ninety (90) or less than ten (10) days preceding the date of any
meeting of shareholders as a record date for the determination of the
shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting; and only
shareholders of record on such date shall be entitled to notice of and to vote
at such meeting.
Section 5. QUORUM AND ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS. The presence in
person or by proxy of the holders of record of thirty percent (30%) of the
Shares of the Trust issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat shall
constitute a quorum at all meetings of the shareholders except as otherwise
provided in the Declaration of Trust. If, however, such quorum shall not be
present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the holders of a
majority of the Shares present in person or by proxy shall have power to adjourn
the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the
meeting, until the requisite number of Shares entitled to vote at such meeting
shall be present. At such adjourned meeting at which the requisite number of
Shares entitled to vote thereat shall be represented any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
notified.
Section 6. VOTING AND INSPECTORS. At all meetings, shareholders
of record entitled to vote thereat shall have one vote for each Share standing
in his name on the books of the Trust (and such shareholders of record holding
fractional Shares, if any, shall have proportionate voting rights) on the date
for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, either
in person or by proxy appointed by instrument in writing subscribed by such
2
<PAGE>
shareholder or his duly authorized attorney. No proxy shall be valid eleven
months after its date. Pursuant to a resolution of a majority of the Trustees,
proxies may be solicited in the name of one or more Trustees or officers of the
Trust.
All elections shall be had and all questions decided by a majority of
the votes cast at a duly constituted meeting, except as otherwise provided by
statute or by the Declaration of Trust or by these By-Laws.
At any election of Trustees, the Chairman of the meeting may, and upon
the request of the holders of ten percent (l0%) of the Shares entitled to vote
at such election shall, appoint two inspectors of election who shall first
subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspectors
at such election with strict impartiality and according to the best of their
ability, and shall after the election make a certificate of the result of the
vote taken. No candidate for the office of Trustee shall be appointed by such
inspector.
Section 7. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The meetings of the shareholders
shall be presided over by the Chairman, or if he is not present, by the
President, or if none of them is present, by a Chairman to be elected at the
meeting. The Secretary of the Trust, if present, shall act as a Secretary of
such meetings, or if he is not present, an Assistant Secretary shall so act; if
neither the Secretary nor any Assistant Secretary is present, then the meeting
shall elect its Secretary.
Section 8. CONCERNING VALIDITY OF PROXIES, BALLOTS, ETC. At every
meeting of the shareholders, all proxies shall be received and taken in charge
of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the Secretary of the
meeting, who shall decide all questions touching the qualification of voters,
the validity of the proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless
inspectors of election shall have been appointed by the Chairman of the meeting,
in which event such inspectors of election shall decide all such questions.
Section 9. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Except as otherwise provided
by law, the provisions of these By-Laws relating to notices and meetings to the
contrary notwithstanding, any action required or permitted to be taken at any
meeting of shareholders may be taken without
3
<PAGE>
a meeting if all of the shareholders entitled to vote upon the action consent to
the action in writing and such consents are filed with the records of the Trust.
Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote taken at a meeting of
shareholders.
ARTICLE II
TRUSTEES
Section 1. NUMBER AND TENURE OF OFFICE. The property of the Trust
shall be controlled by and the business and affairs of the Trust shall be
conducted and managed, at or after the commencement of business of the Trust, by
not less than three (3) nor more than fifteen (15) Trustees, as may be fixed
from time to time by a written instrument signed by a majority of the Trustees
then in office. Trustees need not be shareholders. The tenure of office of
each Trustee shall be set by resolution of the Trustees, except that any Trustee
may resign his office or be removed from office for cause pursuant to the
provisions of the Declaration of Trust.
Section 2. VACANCIES. In case of any vacancy or vacancies in the
office of Trustee through death, resignation or other cause, other than an
increase in the number of Trustees, a majority of the remaining Trustees,
although a majority is less than a quorum, by an affirmative vote, or the sole
remaining Trustee, may elect a successor or successors, as the case may be, to
hold office.
Section 3. INCREASE OR DECREASE IN NUMBER OF TRUSTEES. The
Trustees, by the vote of a majority of all the Trustees then in office, may
increase the number of Trustees and may elect Trustees to fill the vacancies
created by any such increase in the number of Trustees. The Trustees, by the
vote of a majority of all the Trustees then in office, may likewise decrease the
number of Trustees to a number not less than three.
Section 4. PLACE OF MEETING. The Trustees may hold their
meetings, have one or more offices, and keep the books of the Trust, outside the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, at any office or offices of the Trust or at any
other place as they may from time to time by resolution determine, or in the
case of meetings, as they may from time to time by resolution determine or as
shall be specified or fixed in the respective notices or waivers of notice
thereof.
4
<PAGE>
Section 5. REGULAR MEETINGS. Regular meetings of the Trustees
shall be held at such time and on such notice as the Trustees may from time to
time determine.
Section 6. SPECIAL MEETINGS; WAIVER OF NOTICE. Special meetings
of the Trustees may be held from time to time upon call of the Chairman, the
Secretary or two or more of the Trustees, by oral or telegraphic or written
notice duly served on or sent or mailed to each Trustee not less than one day
before such meeting. No notice of any special meeting need be given to any
Trustee who attends in person or to any Trustee who executes a written waiver of
such notice, either before or after the meeting is held, and which notice is
filed with the records of the meeting. Such notice or waiver of notice need not
state the purpose or purposes of such meeting.
Section 7. QUORUM. A majority of the Trustees then in office
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, provided that a
quorum shall in no case be less than two Trustees. If at any meeting of the
Trustees there shall be less than a quorum present, a majority of those present
may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall have been
obtained. The act of the majority of the Trustees present at any meeting at
which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Trustees, except as may
specifically provided by statute or by the Declaration of Trust or by these
By-Laws.
Section 8. COMMITTEES. The Trustees, by the majority vote of all
the Trustees then in office, may appoint from the Trustees committees which
shall in each case consist of such number of Trustees (not less than two) and
shall have and may exercise such powers as the Trustees may determine in the
resolution appointing them. A majority of all the members of any such committee
may determine its action and fix the time and place of its meetings, unless the
Trustees shall otherwise provide. The Trustees shall have power at any time to
change the members and powers of any such committee, to fill vacancies and to
discharge any such committee.
Section 9. TELEPHONE MEETINGS. Trustees or a committee of the
Trustees may participate in a meeting by means of a conference telephone or
similar communications
5
<PAGE>
equipment if all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the
same time. Participation in a meeting by these means constitutes presence in
person at the meeting.
Section 10. ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action required or
permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Trustees or any committee thereof
may be taken without a meeting, if a written consent to such action is signed by
a majority of the Trustees then in office or a majority of the members of such
committee, as the case may be, and such written consent is filed with the
minutes of the proceedings of the Trustees or committee.
Section 11. COMPENSATION. No Trustees shall receive any stated
salary or fees from the Trust for his services as such if such Trustee is,
otherwise than by reason of being such Trustee, an interested person (as such
term is defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Trust or of its
investment adviser or principal underwriter. Except as provided in the
preceding sentence, Trustees shall be entitled to receive such compensation from
the Trust for their services as may from time to time be voted by the Trustees.
ARTICLE III
OFFICERS
Section 1. EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. The executive officers of the
Trust shall be chosen by the Trustees. These shall include a Chairman (who
shall be a Trustee), a President, one or more Vice- Presidents (the number
thereof to be determined by the Trustees), a Secretary and a Treasurer. The
Trustees may also in their discretion appoint Assistant Secretaries, Assistant
Treasurers and other officers, agents and employees, who shall have such
authority and perform such duties as the Trustees may determine. The Trustees
may fill any vacancy which may occur in any office. Any two offices, except
those of Chairman and President, may be held by the same person, but no officer
shall execute, acknowledge or verify any instrument in more than one capacity,
if such instrument is required by law or these By-Laws to be executed,
acknowledged or verified by two or more officers.
Section 2. TERM OF OFFICE. The term of office of all officers
shall be one year and until their respective successors are chosen and
qualified. Any officer may be removed from
6
<PAGE>
office at any time with or without cause by the vote of a majority of all the
Trustees then in office.
Section 3. POWERS AND DUTIES. The officers of the Trust shall
have such powers and duties as generally pertain to their respective offices, as
well as such powers and duties as may from time to time be conferred by the
Trustees.
ARTICLE IV

Section 1. CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES. Shareholders are not
entitled to receive certificates evidencing their Share ownership, unless the
Trustees shall by resolution otherwise determine.
Section 2. TRANSFER OF SHARES. Shares of the Trust shall be
transferable on the register of the Trust by the holder thereof in person or by

other matter as the Trust or its agents may reasonably require.
Section 3. REGISTER OF SHARES. A register of the Trust, containing the
names and addresses of the shareholders and the number of Shares held by them
respectively and a record of all transfers thereof, shall be kept at the

<PAGE>
ARTICLE VI
FISCAL YEAR
The fiscal year of the Trust shall be fixed by resolution of the
Trustees.
ARTICLE VII
INDEMNIFICATION
A representative of the Trust shall be indemnified by the Trust with
respect to each proceeding against such representative, except a proceeding
brought by or on behalf of the Trust, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by such representative in connection with such proceeding, provided
that such representative acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust and, with
respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Trust and, with respect to any criminal proceeding,
had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
A representative of the Trust shall be indemnified by the Trust, with
respect to each proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Trust to obtain a
judgment or decree in its favor, against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Trust;
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or
matter as to which such representative has been adjudged to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Trust, unless and
only to the extent that the court in which the proceeding was brought, or a
court of equity in the county in which the Trust has its principal office,
determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all circumstances of the
8
<PAGE>
case, such corporate representative is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for the expenses which the court considers proper.
To the extent that the representative of the Trust has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding referred to in the
preceding two paragraphs, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein,
the Trust shall indemnify him against all expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
Except as provided in the preceding paragraph any indemnification
under the first two paragraphs of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall
be made by the Trust only as authorized in the specific case upon a
determination that indemnification of the representative of the Trust is proper
in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in such paragraphs. The determination shall be made (1) by the Trustees
by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Trustees who were not parties to
the proceeding, or (2) if a quorum is not obtainable or if a quorum of
disinterested Trustees so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, or (3) by the shareholders.
Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending a
proceeding may be paid by the Trust in advance of the final disposition thereof
if (1) authorized by the Trustees in the specific case, and (2) the Trust
receives an undertaking by or on behalf of the representative of the Trust to
repay the advance if it is not ultimately determined that he is entitled to be
indemnified by the Trust as authorized in this Article and one of the following
conditions shall have occurred: (a) such person shall provide security for his
undertaking, (b) the Trust shall be insured against losses arising by reason of
any lawful advances or (c) a majority of the disinterested, non-party Trustees
of the Trust, or an independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have
determined that based on a review of readily available facts there is reason to
believe that such person ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.
The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which a representative of the Trust or other
person may be entitled under any agreement, vote of shareholders or
disinterested Trustees or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity
and as to action in another capacity while holding the office, and shall
continue
9
<PAGE>
as to a person who has ceased to be a Trustee, officer, employee or agent and
inure to the benefit of his heirs and personal representatives.
The Trust may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust, or is or was
serving at the request of the Trust as a trustee, director, general partner,
officer, employee or agent of another trust, corporation, partnership, joint
venture or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and
incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such,
regardless of whether the Trust would have the power to indemnify him against
the liability under the provisions of this Article.
Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to indemnify any
representative of the Trust against any liability to the Trust or to its
security holders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties
involved in the conduct of his office.
As used in this Article "representative of the Trust" means an
individual (1) who is a present or former Trustee, officer, agent or employee of
the Trust or who serves or has served another trust, corporation, partnership,
joint venture or other enterprise in one of such capacities at the request of
the Trust, and (2) who by reason of his position is, has been or is threatened
to be made a party to a proceeding; and "proceeding" includes any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative.
ARTICLE VIII
CUSTODIAN
Section 1. The Trust shall have as custodian or custodians one or
more trust companies or banks of good standing, each having a capital, surplus
and undivided profits aggregating not less than fifty million dollars
($50,000,000), and, to the extent required by the Investment Company Act of
1940, the funds and securities held by the Trust shall be kept in the custody of
one or more such custodians, provided such custodian or custodians can be found
ready and willing to act, and further provided that the Trust may use as
subcustodians, for the
10
<PAGE>
purpose of holding any foreign securities and related funds of the Trust such
foreign banks as the Trustees may approve and as shall be permitted by law.
Section 2. The Trust shall upon the resignation or inability to
serve of its custodian or upon change of the custodian:
(i) in case of such resignation or inability to serve, use its best
efforts to obtain a successor custodian;
(ii) require that the cash and securities owned by the Trust be
delivered directly to the successor custodian; and

Exhibit No. 5
PAINEWEBBER/KIDDER, PEABODY
MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET SERIES
DISTRIBUTION CONTRACT
CONTRACT made as of January 30, 1995, between PAINEWEBBER/KIDDER, PEABODY
MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET SERIES, a Massachusetts business trust ("Fund"), and
PAINEWEBBER INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation ("PaineWebber").
WHEREAS the Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of l940, as
amended ("l940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company and currently
has three distinct series of shares of beneficial interest each of which is set
forth on Exhibit A hereto, as such Exhibit may be revised from time to time
("Series"); and
WHEREAS the Fund's board of trustees ("Board") has established an unlimited
number of shares of beneficial interest of the Series as shares ("Shares"); and
WHEREAS PaineWebber is willing to act as principal distributor for each
such Series on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein contained, it is agreed between the parties hereto as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT. The Fund hereby appoints PaineWebber as its exclusive
agent to be the principal distributor to sell and to arrange for the sale of the
Shares on the terms and for the period set forth in this Contract. PaineWebber
hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act hereunder. It is understood,
however, that this appointment does not preclude sales of the Shares directly
through the Fund's transfer agent in the manner set forth in the Registration
Statement. As used in this Contract, the term "Registration Statement" shall
mean the currently effective registration statement of the Fund, and any
supplements thereto, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"),
and the 1940 Act.
2. SERVICES AND DUTIES OF PAINEWEBBER.
(a) Upon the later of the date of this Contract or the initial offering of
the Shares to the public by a Series, PaineWebber will hold itself available to
receive purchase orders, satisfactory to PaineWebber, for Shares of that Series
and will accept such orders on behalf of the Fund as of the time of receipt of
such orders and promptly transmit such orders as are accepted to the Fund's
transfer agent. Purchase orders shall be deemed effective at the time and in
the manner set forth in the Registration Statement.
(b) PaineWebber in its discretion may enter into agreements to sell Shares
to such registered and qualified retail dealers, including but not limited to
Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), as it may select.
In making agreements with such dealers, PaineWebber shall act only as principal
and not as agent for the Fund.
<PAGE>
(c) The offering price of the Shares shall be the net asset value per
Share as next determined by the Fund following receipt of an order at
PaineWebber's principal office. The Fund shall promptly furnish PaineWebber
with a statement of each computation of net asset value.
(d) PaineWebber shall not be obligated to sell any certain number of
Shares.
(e) To facilitate redemption of Shares by shareholders directly or through
dealers, PaineWebber is authorized but not required on behalf of the Fund to
repurchase Shares presented to it by shareholders and dealers at the price
determined in accordance with, and in the manner set forth in, the Registration
Statement.
(f) PaineWebber shall provide ongoing shareholder services, which include
responding to shareholder inquiries, providing shareholders with information on
their investments in the Shares and any other services now or hereafter deemed
to be appropriate subjects for the payments of "service fees" under Section
26(d) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") Rules of
Fair Practice (collectively, "service activities").
(g) PaineWebber shall have the right to use any list of shareholders of
the Fund or any other list of investors which it obtains in connection with its
provision of services under this Contract; provided, however, that PaineWebber
shall not sell or knowingly provide such list or lists to any unaffiliated
person.
3. AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO EXCLUSIVE DEALER AGREEMENTS AND TO
DELEGATE DUTIES AS DISTRIBUTOR. With respect to the Shares of any or all
Series, PaineWebber may enter into an exclusive dealer agreement with Mitchell
Hutchins or any other registered and qualified dealer with respect to sales of
the Shares or the provision of service activities. In a separate contract or as
part of any such exclusive dealer agreement, PaineWebber also may delegate to
Mitchell Hutchins or another registered and qualified dealer ("sub-distributor")
any or all of its duties specified in this Contract, provided that such separate
contract or exclusive dealer agreement imposes on the sub-distributor bound
thereby all applicable duties and conditions to which PaineWebber is subject
under this Contract, and further provided that such separate contract or
exclusive dealer agreement meets all requirements of the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
4. SERVICES NOT EXCLUSIVE. The services furnished by PaineWebber
hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive and PaineWebber shall be free to
furnish similar services to others so long as its services under this Contract
are not impaired thereby. Nothing in this Contract shall limit or restrict the
right of any trustee, officer or employee of PaineWebber, who may also be a
director, officer or employee of the Fund, to engage in any other business or to
devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects
of any other business, whether of a similar or a dissimilar nature.
5. COMPENSATION.
(a) As compensation for its service activities under this contract
with respect to the Shares, PaineWebber shall receive from the Fund a service
fee at the rate and under the
2
<PAGE>
terms and conditions of the Plan adopted by the Fund, as such Plan is amended
from time to time, and subject to any further limitations on such fee as the
board of trustees ("Board") may impose.
(b) PaineWebber may reallow any or all of the service fees which it
is paid under this Contract to such dealers as PaineWebber may from time to time
determine.
6. DUTIES OF THE FUND.
(a) The Fund reserves the right at any time to withdraw offering
Shares of any or all Series by written notice to PaineWebber at its principal
office.
(b) The Fund shall determine in its sole discretion whether
certificates shall be issued with respect to the Shares. If the Fund has
determined that certificates shall be issued, the Fund will not cause
certificates representing Shares to be issued unless so requested by
shareholders. If such request is transmitted by PaineWebber, the Fund will
cause certificates evidencing Shares to be issued in such names and
denominations as PaineWebber shall from time to time direct.
(c) The Fund shall keep PaineWebber fully informed of its affairs and
shall make available to PaineWebber copies of all information, financial
statements, and other papers which PaineWebber may reasonably request for use in
connection with the distribution of Shares, including, without limitation,
certified copies of any financial statements prepared for the Fund by its
independent public accountant and such reasonable number of copies of the most
current prospectus, statement of additional information, and annual and interim
reports of any Series as PaineWebber may request, and the Fund shall cooperate
fully in the efforts of PaineWebber to sell and arrange for the sale of the
Shares of the Series and in the performance of PaineWebber under this Contract.
(d) The Fund shall take, from time to time, all necessary action,
including payment of the related filing fee, as may be necessary to register the
Shares under the 1933 Act to the end that there will be available for sale such
number of Shares as PaineWebber may be expected to sell. The Fund agrees to
file, from time to time, such amendments, reports, and other documents as may be
necessary in order that there will be no untrue statement of a material fact in
the Registration Statement, nor any omission of a material fact which omission
would make the statements therein misleading.
(e) The Fund shall use its best efforts to qualify and maintain the
qualification of an appropriate number of Shares of each Series for sale under
the securities laws of such states or other jurisdictions as PaineWebber and the
Fund may approve, and, if necessary or appropriate in connection therewith, to
qualify and maintain the qualification of the Fund as a broker or dealer in such
jurisdictions; provided that the Fund shall not be required to execute a general
consent to the service of process in any state. PaineWebber shall furnish such
information and other material relating to its affairs and activities as may be
required by the Fund in connection with such qualifications.

<PAGE>
7. EXPENSES OF THE FUND. The Fund shall bear all costs and expenses of
registering the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission and state and
other regulatory bodies, and shall assume expenses related to communications
with shareholders of each Series, including (i) fees and disbursements of its
counsel and independent public accountant; (ii) the preparation, filing and
printing of registration statements and/or prospectuses or statements of
additional information required under the federal securities laws; (iii) the
preparation and mailing of annual and interim reports, prospectuses, statements
of additional information and proxy materials to shareholders; and (iv) the
qualifications of Shares for sale and of the Fund as a broker or dealer under
the securities laws of such jurisdictions as shall be selected by the Fund and
PaineWebber pursuant to Paragraph 6(e) hereof, and the costs and expenses
payable to each such jurisdiction for continuing qualification therein.
8. EXPENSES OF PAINEWEBBER. PaineWebber shall bear all costs and
expenses of (i) preparing, printing and distributing any materials not prepared
by the Fund and other materials used by PaineWebber in connection with the sale
of Shares under this Contract, including the additional cost of printing copies
of prospectuses, statements of additional information, and annual and interim
shareholder reports other than copies thereof required for distribution to
existing shareholders or for filing with any federal or state securities
authorities; (ii) any expenses of advertising incurred by PaineWebber in
connection with such offering; (iii) the expenses of registration or
qualification of PaineWebber as a broker or dealer under federal or state laws
and the expenses of continuing such registration or qualification; and (iv) all
compensation paid to PaineWebber's employees and others for selling Shares, and
all expenses of PaineWebber, its employees and others who engage in or support
the sale of Shares as may be incurred in connection with their sales efforts.
9. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Fund agrees to indemnify, defend and hold PaineWebber, its
officers and trustees, and any person who controls PaineWebber within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, free and harmless from and against any
and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including the cost of
investigating or defending such claims, demands or liabilities and any counsel
fees incurred in connection therewith) which PaineWebber, its officers, trustees
or any such controlling person may incur under the 1933 Act, or under common law
or otherwise, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement, or alleged
untrue statement, of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
any related prospectus ("Prospectus") or arising out of or based upon any
omission, or alleged omission, to state a material fact required to be stated in
the Registration Statement or Prospectus or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, except insofar as such claims, demands, liabilities or
expenses arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing by PaineWebber to the Fund for use in the
Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, that this indemnity
agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any person who is also an officer or
trustee of the Fund or who controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act, unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine, or it
shall have been determined by controlling precedent, that such result would not
be against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act; and further provided,
that in no event shall anything contained herein be so construed as to protect
4
<PAGE>
PaineWebber against any liability to the Fund or to the shareholders of any
Series to which PaineWebber would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or
by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations under this Contract. The
Fund shall not be liable to PaineWebber under this indemnity agreement with
respect to any claim made against PaineWebber or any person indemnified unless
PaineWebber or other such person shall have notified the Fund in writing of the
claim within a reasonable time after the summons or other first written
notification giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been
served upon PaineWebber or such other person (or after PaineWebber or the person
shall have received notice of service on any designated agent). However,
failure to notify the Fund of any claim shall not relieve the Fund from any
liability which it may have to PaineWebber or any person against whom such
action is brought otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. The
Fund shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense or, if
it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any claims
subject to this indemnity agreement. If the Fund elects to assume the defense
of any such claim, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Fund
and satisfactory to the indemnified defendants in the suit. In the event that
the Fund elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the
indemnified defendants shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional
counsel retained by them. If the Fund does not elect to assume the defense of a
suit, it will reimburse the indemnified defendants for the reasonable fees and
expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified defendants. The Fund agrees
to notify PaineWebber promptly of the commencement of any litigation or
proceedings against it or any of its officers or trustees in connection with the
issuance or sale of any of its Shares.
(b) The Fund's indemnification agreement contained in this Section 9
will remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of PaineWebber, its officers and trustees, or
any controlling person, and will survive the delivery of any shares of the Fund.
(c) PaineWebber agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the Fund, its
officers and trustees and any person who controls the Fund within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act, free and harmless from and against any and all
claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including the cost of investigating
or defending against such claims, demands or liabilities and any counsel fees
incurred in connection therewith) which the Fund, its trustees or officers, or
any such controlling person may incur under the 1933 Act or under common law or
otherwise arising out of or based upon any alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in information furnished in writing by PaineWebber to
the Fund for use in the Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon
any alleged omission to state a material fact in connection with such
information required to be stated in the Registration Statement necessary to
make such information not misleading. PaineWebber shall have the right to
control the defense of any action contemplated by this Section 9(c), with
counsel of its own choosing, satisfactory to the Fund, unless the action is not
based solely upon an alleged misstatement or omission on PaineWebber's part. In
such event, the Fund, its officers or trustees or controlling persons will each
have the right to participate in the defense or preparation of the defense of
the action. In the event that PaineWebber elects to assume the defense of any
suit and retain counsel, the defendants in the suit shall bear the fees and
expenses of any additional counsel retained by them. If PaineWebber does not
elect to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse the
5
<PAGE>
indemnified defendants in the suit for the reasonable fees and expenses of any
counsel retained by them.
(d) PaineWebber shall not be liable to the Fund under this indemnity
agreement with respect to any claim made against the Fund or any person
indemnified unless the Fund or other such person shall have notified PaineWebber
in writing of the claim within a reasonable time after the summons or other
first written notification giving information of the nature of the claim shall
have been served upon the Fund or such other person (or after the Fund shall
have received notice of service on any designated agent). PaineWebber will not
be obligated to indemnify any entity or person against any liability to which
the Fund, its officers and trustees, or any controlling person would otherwise
be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in
performance of, or reckless disregard of, the obligations and duties set forth
in this Agreement.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF THE TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND.
The trustees of the Fund and the shareholders of any Series shall not be liable
for any obligations of the Fund or any Series under this Contract, and
PaineWebber agrees that, in asserting any rights or claims under this Contract,
it shall look only to the assets and property of the Fund or the particular
Series in settlement of such right or claims, and not to such trustees or
shareholders. The Fund represents that a copy of the Declaration of Trust is on
file with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and with the Boston
City Clerk.
11. SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE FUND BY EMPLOYEES OF PAINEWEBBER. Any
person, even though also an officer, trustee, employee or agent of PaineWebber,
who may be or become an officer, trustee, employee or agent of the Fund, shall
be deemed, when rendering services to the Fund or acting in any business of the
Fund, to be rendering such services to or acting solely for the Fund and not as
an officer, trustee, employee or agent or one under the control or direction of
PaineWebber even though paid by PaineWebber.
12. DURATION AND TERMINATION.
(a) This Contract shall become effective upon the date hereabove
written, provided that, with respect to any Series, this Contract shall not take
effect unless such action has first been approved by vote of a majority of the
Board and by vote of a majority of those trustees of the Fund who are not
interested persons of the Fund, and have no direct or indirect financial
interest in the operation of the Plan relating to the Series or in any
agreements related thereto (all such trustees collectively being referred to
herein as the "Independent Trustees") cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on such action.
(b) Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Contract shall
continue in effect for one year from the above written date. Thereafter, if not
terminated, this Contract shall continue automatically for successive periods of
twelve months each, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at
least annually (i) by a vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (ii)
by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Shares of each affected Series.
6
<PAGE>
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Series, this
Contract may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by
vote of the Board, by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by vote
of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Shares of such Series
on sixty days' written notice to PaineWebber or by PaineWebber at any time,
without the payment of any penalty, on sixty days' written notice to the Fund or
such Series. This Contract will automatically terminate in the event of its
assignment.
(d) Termination of this Contract with respect to any given Series
shall in no way affect the continued validity of this Contract or the
performance thereunder with respect to any other Series.
13. AMENDMENT OF THIS CONTRACT. No provision of this Contract may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver,
discharge or termination is sought.
14. GOVERNING LAW. This Contract shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Delaware and the 1940 Act, provided, however, that
Section 10 above will be construed in accordance with the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. To the extent that the applicable laws of the
State of Delaware or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts conflict with the
applicable provisions of the l940 Act, the latter shall control.
15. NOTICE. Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party
to the other shall be deemed sufficient upon receipt in writing at the other
party's principal offices.
16. MISCELLANEOUS. The captions in this Contract are included for
convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the
provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect. If any
provision of this Contract shall be held or made invalid by a court decision,
statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Contract shall not be affected
thereby. This Contract shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors. As used in this Contract,
the terms "majority of the outstanding voting securities," "interested person"
and "assignment" shall have the same meaning as such terms have in the l940 Act.

Agreement. PFPC accepts such appointment and agrees to furnish such services.
3. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS. The Fund (or a particular Portfolio, as
appropriate) has provided or, where applicable, will provide PFPC with the

for the Fund, the Fund's investment adviser or PFPC, at the option of PFPC).

willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard by PFPC of any
duties, obligations or responsibilities set forth in this Agreement.
(d) PROTECTION OF PFPC. PFPC shall be protected in any action it takes or
does not take in reliance upon directions, advice or Oral Instructions or
Written Instructions it receives from the Fund or from counsel and which PFPC
believes, in good faith, to be consistent with those directions, advice or Oral
Instructions or Written Instructions. Nothing in this section shall
4
<PAGE>
be construed so as to impose an obligation upon PFPC (i) to seek such
directions, advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions, or (ii) to act
in accordance with such directions, advice or Oral Instructions or Written
Instructions unless, under the terms of other provisions of this Agreement, the
same is a condition of PFPC's properly taking or not taking such action.
Nothing in this subsection shall excuse PFPC when an action or omission on the
part of PFPC constitutes willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless
disregard by PFPC of any duties, obligations or responsibilities set forth in
this Agreement.
7. RECORDS; VISITS. PFPC shall prepare and maintain in complete and
accurate form all books and records necessary for it to serve as transfer agent,

front-end sales charges. The books and records pertaining to the Fund, which
are in the possession or under the control of PFPC, shall be the property of the
Fund. The Fund and Authorized Persons shall have access to such books and
records in the possession or under the control of PFPC at all times during

of any such books and records in the possession or under the control of PFPC

authority over the Fund.
8. CONFIDENTIALITY. PFPC agrees to keep confidential all records of the
Fund and information relating to the Fund and its shareholders (past, present
and future), its investment adviser and its principal underwriter, unless the
release of such records or information is otherwise consented to, in writing, by
the Fund prior to its release. The Fund agrees that such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where PFPC may be exposed to civil
or criminal contempt proceedings or when required to divulge such information or
records to duly constituted authorities.
9. COOPERATION WITH ACCOUNTANTS. PFPC shall cooperate with the Fund's
independent public accountants and shall take all reasonable actions in the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement to ensure that the necessary
information is made available to such accountants for the expression of their
opinion, as required by the Fund.
10. DISASTER RECOVERY. PFPC shall enter into and shall maintain in effect
with appropriate parties one or more agreements making reasonable provisions for
periodic backup of computer files and data with respect to the Fund and
emergency use of electronic data processing equipment. In the event of
equipment failures, PFPC shall, at no additional expense to the Fund, take
reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions. PFPC shall have no
liability with respect to the loss of data or service interruptions caused by
equipment failure, provided such loss or interruption is not caused by PFPC's
own willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its
duties or obligations under this Agreement and provided further that PFPC has
complied with the provisions of this paragraph 10.
6
<PAGE>
11. COMPENSATION. As compensation for services rendered by PFPC during
the term of this Agreement, the Fund will pay to PFPC a fee or fees as may be
agreed to from time to time in writing by the Fund and PFPC.
12. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless PFPC and its affiliates
from all taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, penalties, claims and
liabilities (including, without limitation, liabilities arising under the
Securities Laws and any state and foreign securities and blue sky laws, and
amendments thereto), and expenses, including (without limitation) reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements, arising directly or indirectly from (i) any
action or omission to act which PFPC takes (a) at the request or on the
direction of or in reliance on the advice of the Fund or (b) upon Oral
Instructions or Written Instructions or (ii) the acceptance, processing and/or
negotiation of checks or other methods utilized for the purchase of Shares.
Neither PFPC, nor any of its affiliates, shall be indemnified against any
liability (or any expenses incident to such liability) arising out of PFPC's or
its affiliates' own willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless
disregard of its duties and obligations under this Agreement. The Fund's
liability to PFPC for PFPC's acceptance, processing and/or negotiation of checks
or other methods utilized for the purchase of Shares shall be limited to the
extent of the Fund's policy(ies) of insurance that provide for coverage of such
liability, and the Fund's insurance coverage shall take precedence.
(b) PFPC agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund from all taxes,
charges, expenses, assessments, penalties, claims and liabilities arising from
PFPC's obligations pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation,
liabilities arising under the Securities Laws, and any state and foreign
securities and blue sky laws, and amendments thereto) and expenses,
7
<PAGE>
including (without limitation) reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements
arising directly or indirectly out of PFPC's or its nominee's own willful
misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement.
(c) In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this
Paragraph 12 shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which either party
may be required to indemnify the other, the party seeking indemnification shall
promptly notify the other party of such assertion, and shall keep the other
party advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The party
who may be required to indemnify shall have the option to participate with the
party seeking indemnification in the defense of such claim. The party seeking
indemnification shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any
case in which the other party may be required to indemnify it except with the
other party's prior written consent.
(d) The members of the Board of the Fund, its officers and Shareholders,
or of any Portfolio thereof, shall not be liable for any obligations of the
Fund, or any such Portfolio, under this Agreement, and PFPC agrees that in
asserting any rights or claims under this Agreement, it shall look only to the
assets and property of the Fund or the particular Portfolio in settlement of
such rights or claims and not to such members of the Board, its officers or
Shareholders. PFPC further agrees that it will look only to the assets and
property of a particular Portfolio of the Fund, should the Fund have established
separate series, in asserting any rights or claims under this Agreement with
respect to services rendered with respect to that Portfolio and will not seek to
obtain settlement of such rights or claims from the assets of any other
Portfolio of the Fund.
13. INSURANCE. PFPC shall maintain insurance of the types and in the
amounts deemed by it to be appropriate. To the extent that policies of
insurance may provide for coverage of claims for liability or indemnity by the
parties set forth in this Agreement, the contracts of
8
<PAGE>
insurance shall take precedence, and no provision of this Agreement shall be
construed to relieve an insurer of any obligation to pay claims to the Fund,
PFPC or other insured party which would otherwise be a covered claim in the
absence of any provision of this Agreement.
14. SECURITY.
(a) PFPC represents and warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, the
various procedures and systems which PFPC has implemented with regard to the
safeguarding from loss or damage attributable to fire, theft or any other cause
(including provision for twenty-four hours a day restricted access) of the
Fund's blank checks, certificates, records and other data and PFPC's equipment,
facilities and other property used in the performance of its obligations
hereunder are adequate, and that it will make such changes therein from time to
time as in its judgment are required for the secure performance of its
obligations hereunder. PFPC shall review such systems and procedures on a
periodic basis, and the Fund shall have reasonable access to review these
systems and procedures.
(b) Y2K Compliance. PFPC further represents and warrants that any and all
electronic data processing systems and programs that it uses or retains in
connection with the provision of services hereunder on or before January 1, 1999
will be year 2000 compliant.
15. RESPONSIBILITY OF PFPC.
(a) PFPC shall be under no duty to take any action on behalf of the Fund
except as specifically set forth herein or as may be specifically agreed to by
PFPC in writing. PFPC shall be obligated to exercise care and diligence in the
performance of its duties hereunder, to act in good faith and to use its best
efforts in performing services provided for under this Agreement. PFPC shall be
liable for any damages arising out of PFPC's failure to perform its duties under
9
<PAGE>
this Agreement to the extent such damages arise out of PFPC's willful
misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of such duties.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of any other
provision of this Agreement, PFPC shall not be under any duty or obligation to
inquire into and shall not be liable for (A) the validity or invalidity or
authority or lack thereof of any Oral Instruction or Written Instruction, notice
or other instrument which conforms to the applicable requirements of this
Agreement, and which PFPC reasonably believes to be genuine; or (B) subject to

circumstances beyond PFPC's control, including acts of civil or military
authority, national emergencies, labor difficulties, fire, flood, catastrophe,
acts of God, insurrection, war, riots or failure of the mails, transportation,
communication or power supply.

PFPC nor its affiliates shall be liable to the Fund for any consequential,
special or indirect losses or damages which the Fund may incur or suffer by or
as a consequence of PFPC's or its affiliates' performance of the services
provided hereunder, whether or not the likelihood of such losses or damages was
known by PFPC or its affiliates.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Fund
shall not be liable to PFPC nor its affiliates for any consequential, special or
indirect losses or damages which PFPC or its affiliates may incur or suffer by

reimbursed for such extraordinary expenses, including any out-of-pocket expenses

PaineWebber Municipal Money Market Series
1285 Avenue of the Americas
New York, New York 10019
Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion, as counsel to PaineWebber Municipal Money
Market Series ("Trust"), as to certain matters regarding the issuance of certain
Shares of the Trust. As used in this letter, the term "Shares" means the shares
of beneficial interest of the series of the Trust listed below during the time
that Post-Effective Amendment No. 14 to the Trust's Registration Statement on
Form N-1A ("PEA") is effective and has not been superseded by another
post-effective amendment. This series of the Trust is PaineWebber RMA New
Jersey Municipal Money Fund.
As such counsel, we have examined certified or other copies, believed by us
to be genuine, of the Trust's Declaration of Trust and by-laws and such
resolutions and minutes of meetings of the Trust's Board of Trustees as we have
deemed relevant to our opinion, as set forth herein. Our opinion is limited to
the laws and facts in existence on the date hereof, and it is further limited to
the laws (other than the conflict of law rules) in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts that in our experience are normally applicable to the issuance of
shares by unincorporated voluntary associations and to the Securities Act of
1933 ("1933 Act"), the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and the
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") thereunder.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the issuance of the
Shares has been duly authorized by the Trust and that, when sold in accordance
with the terms contemplated by the PEA, including receipt by the Trust of full
payment for the Shares and compliance with the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act, the
Shares will have been validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We note, however, that the Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as
a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders could,
under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of
the Trust. The Declaration of Trust states that persons with claims against the
Trust shall look solely to the Trust property for satisfaction of claims of any
nature arising in connection with the affairs of the Trust and that no
shareholder shall be subject to any personal liability in connection with any
liability of the Trust.
<PAGE>

It also states that notice of such disclaimer may be given in any obligation,
contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking made or issued by the trustees
of the Trust on behalf of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust further provides:
(1) that the Trust shall indemnify and hold each shareholder harmless from and
against all claims and liabilities to which such shareholder may become subject
by reason of having been a shareholder and (2) that the Trust shall reimburse
such shareholder for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by the
shareholder in connection with any such claim or liability, such indemnification
and reimbursement to be made out of the assets of the one or more series of
which the shareholder was a shareholder at the time the act or event occurred
which gave rise to the claim against or liability of such shareholder. Thus,
the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder
liability is limited to circumstances in which the Trust or series would be
unable to meet its obligations.
We hereby consent to this opinion accompanying the PEA when it is filed
with the SEC and to the reference to our firm in the statement of additional

Kidder, Peabody Municipal Money Market Series
20 Exchange Place
New York, New York 10005
Dear Sirs:
Webster Management Corporation ("Webster") hereby represents and warrants
that the 40,000 shares, 30,000 shares and 30,000 shares of the Connecticut
Series, New Jersey Series and New York Series, respectively, of Kidder, Peabody
Municipal Money Market Series (the "Fund") which Webster is purchasing on the
date hereof (the "shares") at a price of $1.00 per share are being purchased for
investment and not with a view of the distribution or resale thereof and Webster
has no present intention to redeem or dispose of any of the shares.
Webster also hereby agrees that it will not redeem any of the shares prior
to the time the Fund has completed the amortization of its organizational
expenses. In the event that a Series liquidates before the deferred
organizational expenses are fully amortized, then the shares of such Series
shall bear their proportionate share of such unamortized organizational expenses
based on the ratio the number of shares redeemed bears to the number of shares
purchased on the date hereof.
Very truly yours,
WEBSTER MANAGEMENT CORPORATION

Exhibit No. 13(a)
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION PURSUANT TO RULE 12b-1
OF
KIDDER, PEABODY MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET SERIES
WHEREAS, Kidder, Peabody Municipal Money Market Series (the "Fund") is
engaged in business as an open-end management investment company and is
registered as such under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"Act"); and
WHEREAS, the Fund desires to adopt a Plan of Distribution pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 (the "Plan") under the Act, and the Trustees have determined that
there is a reasonable likelihood that adoption of this Plan will benefit the
Fund and its shareholders; and
WHEREAS, the Fund currently employs Kidder, Peabody & Co. Incorporated
("Kidder, Peabody") as exclusive principal underwriter of shares of beneficial
interest of each series of the Fund set forth on Exhibit A hereto, as such
Exhibit may be revised from time to time (each a "Series"); and
WHEREAS, the Fund and Kidder, Peabody propose, subject to the adoption
of the Plan to enter into a Distribution Agreement (the "Distribution
Agreement") pursuant to which the Fund will continue to employ Kidder, Peabody
as such exclusive principal underwriter;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Fund hereby adopts, and Kidder, Peabody hereby
agrees to the terms of, this Plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Act on
the following terms and conditions:
1. The Fund shall reimburse Kidder, Peabody as the exclusive principal
underwriter of shares of each Series for its expenses in respect of the
distribution of such Series' shares at a rate not to exceed the percentage
of the average daily net assets of such Series set forth opposite its name
on Exhibit A. The amount of such reimbursement shall be accrued daily at
such rate and paid monthly or at such other intervals as the Trustees shall
determine and shall be reconciled with Kidder, Peabody's actual expenses,
but not greater than such rate per annum, on an annual basis. The Fund is
not authorized hereunder to reimburse Kidder, Peabody for expenses incurred
more than 12 months prior to the date of such reimbursement.
2. The expenses for which reimbursement is authorized hereunder are those
which Kidder, Peabody may spend on any activities primarily intended to
result in the sale of each Series' shares and the maintenance of accounts
and account balances with the Fund, including, but not limited to,
compensation to and expenses of Kidder, Peabody's Registered
Representatives, other selected broker-dealers or their Registered
<PAGE>
Representatives, or other employees of Kidder, Peabody who engage in or
support distribution of the Series' shares, service shareholder accounts or
provide other services to current or prospective shareholders of the
Series; printing of prospectuses and reports for other than existing
shareholders; and preparation, printing and distribution of sales
literature and advertising material. As to each Series, it is understood
that Kidder, Peabody currently intends that approximately the percentage
per annum of the average daily net assets of such Series set forth opposite
its name on Exhibit A shall be paid to Registered Representatives
proportionately in respect of such Series' share balances maintained by
clients of such Registered Representatives, and the balance on other
activities. At least annually and in advance of any annual continuance of
the Plan as contemplated by paragraph 3, Kidder, Peabody shall prepare and
present to the Trustees a marketing plan and budgets, including reasonable
estimates and projections of its contemplated distribution activities and
attendant expenses, for the succeeding 12 month period.
3. As to each Series, the Plan will become effective immediately upon approval
by (a) a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Series, and
(b) a majority of both (i) the Trustees of the Fund and (ii) those Trustees
of the Fund who are not "interested persons" of the Fund (as defined in the
Act) and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of
this Plan or any agreements related to it (the "Rule 12b-1 Trustees"), cast
in person at a meeting (or meetings) called for the purpose of voting on
this Plan. As to each Series, the Plan will continue in effect for a
period of one year from its effective date, unless terminated pursuant to
its terms. As to each Series, this Plan shall, unless terminated as
hereinafter provided, continue in full force and effect from year to year
thereafter for so long as such continuance is specifically approved at
least annually by votes of a majority of both (a) the Trustees of the Fund
and (b) the Rule 12b-1 Trustees, cast in person at a meeting (or meetings)
called for the purpose of voting on this Plan.
4. Agreements related to the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the
Trustees and the Rule 12b-1 Trustees in the manner required for continuance
of this Plan, and shall be subject to the annual continuance thereof in the
same manner. It is currently contemplated that the only such related
agreement shall be the Distribution Agreement.
5. Kidder, Peabody shall provide to the Trustees of the Fund and the Trustees
shall review, at lest quarterly, a written report of the amounts so
expended and the purposes for which such expenditures were made. Such
reports shall provide a comparison with the budgets presented pursuant to
paragraph 2 and shall explain material discrepancies between actual and
budgeted expenditures.
6. As to each Series, this Plan may be terminated at any time by vote of a
majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees, or by a vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of such Series. As to each Series, upon
termination as provided in this paragraph 6, the Fund shall immediately
cease to make any payments hereunder or under any related agreement with
respect to such Series.

7. This Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount of
distribution expenses which a Series may bear as provided in paragraph 2
hereof, unless such amendment is approved by a vote of at least a majority
(as defined in the Act) of the outstanding voting securities of such Series
and no material amendment to this Plan shall be made unless approved in the
manner provided for annual continuance in paragraph 3 hereof.
8. While this Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of Trustees who
are not interested persons (as defined in the Act) of the Fund shall be
committed to the discretion of the Trustees who are not interested persons.
9. The Fund shall preserve copies of this Plan, any related agreements and all
plans presented and reports made pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 5 hereof for
a period of not less than six years from the date of this Plan, or the
agreements or such plans and reports, as the case may be, the first two
years in an easily accessible place.
10. No Trustee, shareholder, officer, employee or agent of the Fund shall be
held to any personal liability, nor shall resort be had to their private
property for the satisfaction of any obligation or claim or otherwise in
connection with the affairs of the Fund, but the Fund estate only shall be
liable.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Fund and Kidder, Peabody have executed this
Plan on the day and year set forth below in New York, New York.
