Dear Shareholder,

    During  the year ended June  30, 1995, the pace  of U.S. economic growth was
perceived to have  slowed in response  to the Federal  Reserve Board's  repeated
increases  in the benchmark Federal Funds rate, the rate banks charge each other
for overnight borrowing. The Federal Reserve Board raised the Federal Funds rate
to 6.0% after  seven short-term interest  rate hikes between  February 1994  and
February  1995. On July 6,  1995, the Federal Reserve  cut the benchmark Federal
Funds rate by 0.25% to  5.75%. This decrease, the  first in nearly three  years,
signals that the Federal Reserve Board believes that inflationary pressures have
eased enough to accommodate an adjustment in monetary conditions.

THE MUNICIPAL MARKET

    The  Federal Reserve Board's monetary tightening  policy set off a turbulent
year in fixed income markets. For example, in June of 1994, interest rates  were
still  rising  in response  to  the Fed's  tightening  maneuvers to  control the
burgeoning economy.  By November  1994,  interest rates  peaked as  the  economy
slowed  and inflation remained under control. By the end of June 1995, long-term
interest  rates  had  declined  approximately  1.5%,  with  economic  indicators
exhibiting  a "soft  landing"--a slowdown in  economic growth  without a decline
into recession.

    In early December 1994, the municipal market was shaken by the bankruptcy of
Orange County, California. Please note that  none of our Funds owned any  Orange
County  general obligation bonds. Although the bankruptcy initially destabilized
the municipal market, investors  ultimately concluded that other  municipalities
that  had invested  in derivatives  had not  leveraged themselves  to the extent
Orange County had. Consequently, the market regained investors' confidence,  and
put in a very strong performance.

    After  years of high volume, new  issue supply declined dramatically in 1994
and early 1995. With fewer bonds in the market, demand increases, pushing up the
prices of existing bonds. The combination  of limited supply and the  perception
that  the next Federal  Reserve Board action  would be a  decrease in short-term
interest rates led to a bond market  rally during the first six months of  1995.
Recently,  the market has become  sensitive to the talk  of tax reform, which is
expected to become an item of  discussion in the 1996 Presidential campaign.  We
will  monitor these  developments and  keep you,  our shareholders,  apprised of
events.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW
    The first  half  of  the  Fund's fiscal  year  was  dominated  by  declining
municipal  bond prices--a result  of increasing interest  rates. However, during
the first six months of 1995, the market essentially recouped all of the  losses
and  even added some very positive returns to municipal portfolios. As a result,
the Fund's total  return for  the year ended  June 30,  1995, without  deducting
sales  charges, was 8.20% for Class A shares, 7.69% for Class B shares and 8.25%
for Class C shares. The Fund's total return for this period, after deducting the
maximum applicable sales charges, was 5.76% for Class A shares, 7.69% for  Class
B shares and 8.25% for Class C shares.

    At  a special  meeting of  shareholders that took  place on  April 13, 1995,
Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc.  ("Mitchell Hutchins") was appointed  as
investment  adviser and administrator  of the Fund.  Mitchell Hutchins, a wholly
owned investment  management subsidiary  of PaineWebber  Incorporated,  provides
investment  advisory and  portfolio management services  to individuals, pension
and endowment funds, trusts  and institutions. Gregory W.  Serbe and Richard  S.
Murphy  are jointly responsible  for the day-to-day management  of the Fund. Mr.
Serbe is a  Managing Director  of Mitchell Hutchins  responsible for  overseeing
tax-free  fixed income  investments. Mr. Murphy  is a senior  vice president and
portfolio manager at Mitchell Hutchins.

    The board of  trustees of Mitchell  Hutchins/Kidder, Peabody Municipal  Bond
Fund  has approved a  Plan of Reorganization  and Termination ("Reorganization")
for submission to the Fund's shareholders, at a special meeting scheduled to  be
held  on  October  27, 1995.  If  the  proposed Reorganization  is  approved and
implemented, all  of the  Fund's assets  will be  acquired and  its  liabilities
assumed  by PaineWebber National Tax-Free Income Fund ("National Tax-Free Income
Fund") in a tax-free reorganization. As a result of the reorganization, the  two
funds'  assets would be combined and each Fund shareholder would, on the closing
date of the transaction, receive a number  of full and fractional shares of  the
corresponding  Class  of  shares  of National  Tax-Free  Income  Fund  having an
aggregate value equal to  the value of the  shareholder's holdings in the  Fund.
National Tax-Free Income Fund is also managed by Gregory W. Serbe and Richard S.
Murphy.

    Going  forward, our outlook is one of cautious optimism. The Federal Reserve
Board appears to have engineered a "soft landing"--a slowdown in economic growth
without a decline into recession. If the Fed has been successful, it appears  as
though  the direction  for short-term interest  rates will  continue to decline.
However, if  inflation  becomes  problematic, further  increases  in  short-term
interest rates could be possible. Municipal bond supply remains extremely light,
and  demand has been  able to absorb  this supply, which  should cause municipal
bonds to perform better than taxable debt instruments in the coming months.  Our
long-term  outlook is  for strength in  the municipal market  after the domestic
economic picture becomes clearer.

Notes to Financial Statements

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Mitchell  Hutchins/Kidder,  Peabody  Municipal Bond  Fund  (formerly Kidder,
Peabody Municipal Bond  Fund) (the  "Fund") is registered  under the  Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end investment company.

    ORGANIZATIONAL   MATTERS--The  Fund   commenced  investment   operations  on
September 8, 1993. The Fund adopted the Choice Pricing SystemSM. The Fund offers
three classes of shares,  Class A, Class  B and Class  C. Each class  represents
interests  in the same assets  of the Fund and  the classes are identical except
for differences  in  their  sales  charge structures  and  ongoing  service  and
distribution  charges.  All classes  of shares  have equal  rights as  to voting
privileges, except that each class has  exclusive voting rights with respect  to
its distribution plan.

    VALUATION  OF INVESTMENTS--The  Fund's investments  in government securities
and other securities traded  over-the-counter are valued at  the average of  the
quoted  bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market. In the absence of a
market value, investments are valued at fair value as determined by or under the
direction of the Board of Trustees. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60
days or less are valued at amortized cost.

    INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND  INVESTMENT INCOME--Investment transactions  are
recorded  as  of  the trade  date.  Realized  gains and  losses  from investment
transactions are calculated on  the identified cost  method. Interest income  is
recorded  on an accrual basis. Discounts  are accrued and premiums are amortized
as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

    Income  and  expenses  (excluding  class-specific  expenses)  are  allocated
proportionately to each class of shares based upon each class' daily settled net
assets.  Realized and unrealized gains  and losses are allocated proportionately
to each class of shares based on the relative value of shares outstanding at the
beginning of  the day.  Class  specific expenses  are  charged directly  to  the
applicable class of shares.

    FEDERAL  TAX STATUS--The  Fund intends to  distribute all  of its tax-exempt
income and any taxable income and to  comply with the other requirements of  the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly,
no  provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing
during each  calendar  year substantially  all  of its  net  investment  income,
capital  gains and  certain other amounts,  if any,  the Fund intends  not to be
subject to a federal excise  tax. At June 30, 1995,  the Fund had a net  capital
loss  carryforward  of  approximately  $2,100,000.  This  loss  carryforward  is
available as a reduction, to the  extent provided in the regulations, of  future
net realized capital gains, and will expire at June 30, 2003.

    In  accordance  with Treasury  Regulations, the  Fund  has elected  to defer
realized losses arising after  October 31, 1994. Such  losses have been  treated
for tax purposes as arising on July 1, 1995.

    To  the extent that such losses are  used to offset future capital gains, it
is probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements--(continued)

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

    DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The  Fund declares dividends on a daily  basis
from  net investment income. Net  capital gains, if any,  will be distributed at
least annually, but the Fund may make more frequent distributions of such gains,
if necessary,  to avoid  income or  excise taxes.  The amount  of dividends  and
distributions  are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations,
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax"
differences are  either considered  temporary  or permanent  in nature.  To  the
extent  these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified
within  the  capital  accounts  based  on  their  federal  tax-basis  treatment;
temporary   differences   do   not  require   reclassification.   Dividends  and
distributions that exceed net investment  income and net realized capital  gains
for  financial  reporting purposes  but  not for  tax  purposes are  reported as
dividends in excess of net investment  income or distributions in excess of  net
realized  capital gains. To the extent they exceed net investment income and net
realized capital gains for tax purposes,  they are reported as distributions  of
paid-in-capital.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR

    The  Fund's investment adviser and  administrator receives compensation from
the Fund accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund's
average daily net assets.

    At a  special meeting  of  shareholders held  on  April 13,  1995,  Mitchell
Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins") was appointed as investment
adviser and administrator of the Fund. The Fund pays the same fee for investment
advisory  and administration services to Mitchell Hutchins as previously paid to
Kidder Peabody  Asset Management,  Inc.  ("KPAM"), as  described in  the  Fund's
prospectus.  Mitchell Hutchins continues  to manage the  Fund in accordance with
the Fund's  investment objective,  policies and  restrictions as  stated in  the
prospectus.

    Investment  advisory functions for the Fund were previously transferred from
KPAM to Mitchell Hutchins on an interim  basis as a result of an asset  purchase
transaction by and among Kidder Peabody Group, Inc., its parent General Electric
Company  and Paine Webber Group Inc. That  period began on February 13, 1995 and
ended on April 13, 1995.

    In compliance with applicable state securities laws, Mitchell Hutchins  will
reimburse the Fund if and to the extent that the aggregate operating expenses in
any fiscal year, exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage fees, distribution fees
and   extraordinary  expenses,  exceed  limitations  imposed  by  various  state
regulations. Currently, the most restrictive  limitation applicable to the  Fund
is  2.5% of the first $30 million of  average daily net assets, 2.0% of the next
$70 million and 1.5% of  any excess over $100 million.  For the year ended  June
30,  1995,  no  reimbursement was  required  pursuant to  the  above limitation.
Mitchell Hutchins voluntarily reimbursed the Fund for a portion of its  expenses
and waived its investment advisory and administration fee.

DISTRIBUTION PLANS

    Effective  February  13, 1995,  Mitchell  Hutchins serves  as  the exclusive
distributor of the Fund's shares. Under separate plans of distribution, Class  A
shares  are sold  subject to a  front-end sales load  and bear a  service fee of
0.25% per annum  of average class  net assets. Class  B shares are  sold at  net
asset  value without a sales load and bear a distribution fee of 0.50% per annum
and a service fee of 0.25% per annum of average class net assets. For the period
ended  February  13,  1995,  Kidder  Peabody  &  Co.  Incorporated,  the  Fund's
predecessor  distributor, earned $43,560  in distribution and  service fees. For
the period February 13, 1995 to June 30, 1995, Mitchell Hutchins earned  $20,444
in  such  fees.  For  the  year  ended  June  30,  1995,  Kidder  Peabody  & Co.
Incorporated, voluntarily waived $18,922 in  distribution and service fees,  and
Mitchell  Hutchins voluntarily waived $13,134  in distribution and service fees.
Mitchell Hutchins also receives the proceeds  of any front-end sales loads  with
respect to the purchase of Class A shares.

INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
    For  federal income tax purposes,  the cost of securities  owned at June 30,
1995 was  substantially  the  same  as the  cost  of  securities  for  financial
statement purposes.
    At  June  30, 1995,  the components  of the  net unrealized  appreciation of
investments were as follows:

</TABLE>

    For the year  ended June 30,  1995, total aggregate  purchases and sales  of
portfolio  securities,  excluding  short-term securities,  were  $28,074,797 and
$37,050,890, respectively.

CONCENTRATION OF RISK

    The ability of the issuers of the  debt securities held by the Fund to  meet
their  obligations  may be  affected by  economic developments,  including those
particular to a specific industry or state.

Report of Independent Auditors

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

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Mitchell Hutchins/Kidder, Peabody Municipal Bond Fund
(One of the portfolios constituting the Mitchell Hutchins/Kidder, Peabody
Investment Trust II):

    We  have  audited  the  accompanying statement  of  assets  and liabilities,
including the  portfolio of  investments, of  Mitchell Hutchins/Kidder,  Peabody
Municipal  Bond  Fund  as  of  June 30,  1995,  and  the  related  statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of
the periods presented. These financial  statements and financial highlights  are
the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion  on these  financial statements  and financial  highlights based  on our
audits.

    We conducted  our  audits in  accordance  with generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  and  financial
highlights  are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence  supporting the  amounts and disclosures  in the  financial
statements.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June
30, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,  as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In  our opinion, such financial  statements and financial highlights present
fairly,  in  all   material  respects,  the   financial  position  of   Mitchell
Hutchins/Kidder, Peabody Municipal Bond Fund as of June 30, 1995, the results of
its  operations, the changes in its net  assets and the financial highlights for
the  periods  presented  in   conformity  with  generally  accepted   accounting
principles.
