NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(UNAUDITED)
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 PaineWebber Financial Services Growth Fund Inc. ("Financial Services Growth
Fund"), PaineWebber Capital Appreciation Fund ("Capital Appreciation Fund") and
PaineWebber Utility Income Fund ("Utility Income Fund") (collectively, the
"Funds") are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified open-end management
investment companies. Financial Services Growth Fund was incorporated in the
state of Maryland on February 13, 1986, Capital Appreciation Fund is a series
of PaineWebber Managed Asset Trust and Utility Income Fund is a series of
PaineWebber Managed Investments Trust (collectively, the "Trusts") which were
organized under Massachusetts law by a Declaration of Trust dated August 9,
1991 and November 21, 1986, respectively. Organizational costs have been de-
ferred and are being amortized using the straight line method over a period not
to exceed 60 months from the date the Funds commenced operations.
 
 Currently, each Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Each
Fund had no Class Y shares outstanding during the period. Each class represents
interests in the same assets of the applicable Fund, and the classes are iden-
tical except for differences in their sales charge structures, ongoing service
and distribution charges and certain transfer agency expenses. In addition,
Class B shares and all corresponding reinvested dividend shares automatically
convert to Class A shares approximately six years after issuance. All classes
of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive
voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plan.
 
 The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires Fund management to make estimates and assump-
tions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial state-
ments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies:
 
 Valuation of Investments--Securities which are listed on stock exchanges are
valued at the last sales price on the day the securities are being valued or,
lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where
securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on
the exchange designated as the primary market by Mitchell Hutchins Asset Man-
agement Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), a wholly owned asset management subsidiary
of PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber") and investment adviser, administra-
tor and distributor of the Financial Services Growth Fund and the Utility In-
come Fund and by Denver Investment Advisors, LLC, ("Denver Investment"), the
sub-adviser of ("Sub-Adviser") the Capital Appreciation Fund. Securities traded
in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market and listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market,
Inc. ("Nasdaq") are valued at the last available sales price, or last bid price
available if no sale occurs on Nasdaq prior to the time of valuation. Where
market quotations are readily available, debt securities are valued thereon,
provided such quotations adequately reflect the fair values of the securities
in the judgement of Mitchell Hutchins or Denver Investment, as applicable. When
market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued based upon
appraisals derived from information concerning those securities or similar se-
curities received from recognized dealers in those securities. The amortized
cost method of valuation is used to value short-term debt instruments with
sixty days or less remaining to maturity. Securities for which market quota-
tions are not readily available including restricted securities subject to lim-
itations as to their sale are valued at fair value as determined in good faith
by, or under the direction of, the Fund's/Trusts' Board of Directors/Trustees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(UNAUDITED)
 
 Repurchase Agreements--Each Fund's custodian takes possession of the collat-
eral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying collat-
eral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value, in-
cluding accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the
event of default of the obligation to repurchase, each Fund has the right to
liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obliga-
tion. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the
other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral
may be subject to legal proceedings. Each Fund occasionally participates in
joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed by Mitchell
Hutchins.
 
 Investment Transactions and Investment Income--Investment transactions are re-
corded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transac-
tions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is re-
corded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to in-
terest income and the identified costs of investments.
 
 Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized
gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon
the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of dividend-
eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class at the beginning of the day (af-
ter adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective classes).
Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class of shares.
 
 Dividends and Distributions--Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex- dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions
are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may
differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax" differ-
ence are either considered temporary or permanent in nature, such amounts are
reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis
treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
 
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
 
 Financial Services Growth Fund invests primarily in equity securities of fi-
nancial services companies and Utility Income Fund invests primarily in securi-
ties of utility companies. Economic, legislative and regulatory developments
impacting those industries may affect the market value of each Fund's invest-
ments. Capital Appreciation Fund invests in securities of medium-sized and
smaller companies which entail greater market volatility and risks of adverse
financial developments than is the case for securities of larger companies. In
addition, each Funds' ability to invest in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign eq-
uity securities and ability to use options and futures contracts also entail
special risks.
 
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 
 Each Fund has an Investment Advisory and Administration Contract ("Advisory
Contract") with Mitchell Hutchins, under which Mitchell Hutchins serves as in-
vestment adviser and administrator of the Funds. In accordance with the Advi-
sory Contracts, Financial Services Growth Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund and
Utility Income Fund pay Mitchell Hutchins an investment advisory and adminis-
tration fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of
0.70%, 1.00% and 0.70%, respectively, of
 
                                                                              27

each Funds' average daily net assets. At September 30, 1997, Financial Services
Growth Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund and Utility Income Fund owed Mitchell
Hutchins $146,450, $240,446, and $18,531 respectively, in investment advisory

viser of the Capital Appreciation Fund, a monthly fee in an amount equal to 50%
of the fee paid to Mitchell Hutchins under the Advisory Contract.

Capital Appreciation Fund and the Utility Income Fund paid $5,796, $0 and $0,
respectively, in brokerage commissions to PaineWebber for transactions executed

DISTRIBUTION PLANS
 
 Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of each Fund's shares and has appointed
PaineWebber as the exclusive dealer for the sale of those shares. Under sepa-
rate plans of service and/or distribution pertaining to Class A, Class B and
Class C shares, the Funds pay Mitchell Hutchins monthly service fees at an an-
nual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B and
Class C shares and monthly distribution fees at the annual rate of 0.75% of the
average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At September 30, 1997,
Financial Services Growth Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund, and Utility Income
Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $127,742, $178,840 and $22,554 respectively, in

tions. The loans are secured at all times by cash or U.S. government securities
in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus
accrued interest, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. Each
Fund will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain ben-
eficial rights, however, each Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of,
or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail fi-
nancially. Each Fund receives compensation, which is included in interest in-

BANK LINE OF CREDIT
 
 Each Fund may participate with other funds managed by Mitchell Hutchins in a
$200 million committed credit facility ("Facility") to be utilized for tempo-
rary financing until the settlement of sale or purchase of portfolio securi-
ties, the repurchase or redemption of shares of each Fund at the request of the
shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. In connection there-
with, each Fund has agreed to pay a commitment fee, pro rata, based on the rel-
ative asset size of the Funds in the Facility. Interest is charged to each Fund
at rates based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings.
For the six months ended September 30, 1997, the Funds did not borrow under the
Facility.
 
TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICE FEES
 
 Prior to August 1, 1997, each Fund paid PaineWebber an annual fee of $4.00 per
active PaineWebber shareholder account for certain services not provided by the
Fund's transfer agent. For these services for the four months ended July 31,
1997, PaineWebber earned $14,088, $28,077, and $4,244 from Financial Services
Growth Fund, Capital Appreciation Fund and Utility Income Fund, respectively.
Subsequent to August 1, 1997, PaineWebber provides transfer agency related
services to each Fund pursuant to a delegation of authority from PFPC, Inc.,
the Fund's transfer agent, and is compensated for these services by PFPC, Inc.,
not the Funds.

FEDERAL TAX STATUS
 
 The Funds intend to distribute substantially all of their taxable income and
to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income
taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year sub-
stantially all of their net investment income, capital gains and certain other
amounts, if any, the Funds intend not to be subject to a federal excise tax.
 
 At March 31, 1997, Utility Income Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of
$5,773,848 which will expire by March 31, 2003. To the extent such losses are
used, as provided in the regulations, to offset future net realized capital
gains, it is probable these gains will not be distributed.
