Dear Shareholder,
 
     During the year ended January 31, 1995, the United States economy exhibited
steady growth. In a series of monetary tightenings that began early in 1994, the
Federal Reserve Board raised the benchmark Federal Funds rate, the rate banks
charge each other for overnight borrowing, six times in 1994 for a total
increase of 2.5%. These increases, which were implemented to moderate economic
expansion and forestall inflation, triggered stock and bond market volatility
throughout most of 1994. The Federal Reserve tightened another 0.5% on February
1, 1995, increasing the Federal Funds rate to 6.0%
 
     Productivity gains in the workplace and the increased competitiveness of
United States corporations in the global marketplace contributed to the low
inflation and steady growth which characterized the economy during the year
ended January 31, 1995. Unemployment continued to decline, and retail sales
remained brisk, sparked by strengthened consumer confidence and an upward trend
in personal income. However, side effects of higher interest rates, including a
decline in single family housing starts, crept into economic data during the
latter half of 1994. As we move into the new year, the economy remains
healthy--although it is not yet clear what impact higher interest rates will
have on economic growth.
 
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
 
     During the year ended January 31, 1995, the Federal Reserve's successive
interest rate increases initiated a period of widescale declines in the prices
of most fixed income securities. As short-term interest rates increased during
the period, most bond prices depreciated. Volatility in the Treasury market
influenced both the corporate bond and high yield markets, which caused
liquidity to decline. As a result of this market decline, All-American Term
Trust Inc. ('the Trust') had a total return for the year ended January 31, 1995
of (4.99)% based on the portfolio's net asset value and (7.13)% based on the
Trust's share price on the New York Stock Exchange. During the year ended
January 31, 1995, the Trust made distributions totaling $1.22 per share. As of
January 31, 1995, the Trust's net asset value per share was $13.31, while the
share price on the New York Stock Exchange was $12.13.
 
     The Trust seeks to provide a high level of current income consistent with
the preservation of capital. As described in the prospectus, the Trust will
terminate on or about January 31, 2003 and will liquidate all of its assets and
distribute the net proceeds to shareholders. While the portfolio is being
managed in an effort to return the initial offering price of $15.00 per share,
this is not guaranteed. The Trust maintains a diversified portfolio of

investment grade corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, high yield bonds
and AAA-rated zero coupon municipal bonds.
 
     On January 31, 1995, the investment grade portion of the portfolio had a
weighted average maturity of 7.9 years in non-callable bonds in the industrial,
bank and finance sectors. We believed these sectors offered the best relative
value and improving credit stories. The Trust's high yield component continued
to be focused primarily in single B securities in various industrial sectors
with maturities ranging from

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.4 to 7.9 years, with adequate call protection. In addition, the portfolio
remained fully invested with an average maturity of 5.2 years as of January 31,
1995.
 
     Going forward, we expect the economy to continue to grow during 1995,
although perhaps not as rapidly as in 1994. There are encouraging signs that the
Federal Reserve may in fact be engineering a sustainable level of economic
growth coupled with modest inflation, which is a good long-term scenario for
corporate debt. The Trust's emphasis continues to be on security selection to
minimize credit risk.
 
     We value you as a shareholder and as a client, and thank you for your
continued support. We welcome any comments or questions you may have.
 
Sincerely,
 
/s/ Frank P.L. Minard                          /s/ Mary B. King

* Planned amortization class interest only security. This security entitles the
  holder to receive interest payments from an underlying pool of mortgages. The
  risk associated with this security is related to the speed of principal
  paydowns outside a designated range. High prepayments would result in a
  smaller amount of interest being received and cause the yield to decrease. Low
  prepayments would result in greater amount of interest being received and
  cause the yield to increase.

# Security represents a unit which is comprised of the stated bond with attached
  warrants.

(A) Non-income producing security.

ARM--Adjustable Rate Mortgage

CMT--Constant Maturity Treasury Index

COFI--11th District Cost of Funds Index

MTN--Medium Term Note

TBA--(To Be Announced) Securities are purchased on a forward commitment basis
     with approximated (generally +/-2.5%) principal amount and no definite
     maturity date. The actual principal amount and maturity date will be
     determined upon settlement when specific mortgage pools are assigned.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     All-American Term Trust Inc. (the 'Trust') was incorporated in Maryland on
November 19, 1992 as a closed-end diversified management investment company. The
Trust is anticipated to terminate on or about January 31, 2003. Prior to March
1, 1993, the Trust had no activities other than organizational matters and the
sale to Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ('Mitchell Hutchins'),
investment adviser and administrator of the Trust, of 6,667 shares of common
stock for a total of $100,005. Organizational costs of $230,000 have been
deferred and are being amortized on the straight line method over a period not
to exceed 60 months from the date the Trust commenced operations. PaineWebber
Incorporated, the parent company of Mitchell Hutchins, paid all offering costs
in connection with the offering.
 
     Valuation of Investments -- Where market quotations are readily available,
portfolio securities are valued thereon, provided such quotations adequately
reflect, in the judgement of Mitchell Hutchins, the fair value of the
securities. When market quotations are not readily available, securities are
valued based upon appraisals derived from information concerning those
securities or similar securities received from recognized dealers in those
securities. All other securities are valued at fair value as determined in good
faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The amortized cost
method of valuation, which approximates market value, is used to value debt
obligations with 60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board of
Directors determines that this does not represent fair value.
 
     The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Trust to meet
their obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those
particular to a specific industry or region.
 
     Investment Transactions and Investment Income -- Investment transactions
are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment
transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is
recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized
as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments. The
Trust also earns fee income from transactions in which the Trust sells
securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to
repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on
a specified future date (the 'roll period'). During the roll period the Trust
forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Trust is compensated
by the interest earned on the cash proceeds on the initial sale and by fee
income or a lower repurchase price.
 
     Repurchase Agreements -- The Trust's custodian takes possession of the
collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying
collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value,
including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In
 
                                       11

Notes to Financial Statements --  (continued)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the event of default of the obligations to repurchase, the Trust has the right
to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the
obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy
by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the
collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
 
     Federal Tax Status -- The Trust intends to distribute all of its taxable
income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for
federal income taxes is required. In addition, to the extent that the Trust
distributes during each calendar year substantially all of its taxable net
investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Trust
may not be subject to a federal excise tax.
 
     Dividends and Other Distributions -- Dividends and distributions are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Trust intends to pay monthly dividends at
a constant rate that over time will result in the distribution of substantially
all of the Trust's net investment income. 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 which 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. On or about January 31, 2003, the Trust will liquidate its
assets and will declare and make a termination distribution to its shareholders
in an aggregate amount equal to the net proceeds of such liquidation after
payment of the Trust's expenses and liabilities, including amounts owed on any
outstanding borrowings by the Trust.
 
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 
     The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory and Administration
Contract ('Advisory Contract') with Mitchell Hutchins. The Advisory Contract
provides Mitchell Hutchins with an investment advisory and administration fee,
computed weekly and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Trust's
average weekly net assets.

INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
 
     For federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at January
31, 1995 was substantially the same as the cost of securities for financial
statement purposes.
 
     At January 31, 1995, the components of net unrealized depreciation of
investments were as follows:

     For the year ended January 31, 1995, total aggregate purchases and sales of
portfolio securities excluding short-term securities, were $1,050,722,037 and
$1,058,524,594, respectively.
 
CAPITAL STOCK
 
     There are 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized.
Of the 13,706,667 shares outstanding at January 31, 1995, Mitchell Hutchins
owned 6,667 shares.
 
FEDERAL TAX STATUS
 
     At January 31, 1995, the Trust had a net capital loss carryforward of
$5,276,006. The loss carryforward is available as a reduction, to the extent
provided in the regulations, of future net realized capital gains, and will
expire January 31, 2003.
 
     At January 31, 1994, the cumulative effect of permanent book/tax
reclassifications resulted in increases (decreases) to the components of net
assets as follows:

(1)   Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of one share of
      common stock at the current market price on the first day of each period
      reported and a sale at the current market price on the last day of each

      period reported, and assuming reinvestment of dividends to common
      stockholders at prices obtained under the Trust's Dividend Reinvestment
      Plan. Total investment return does not reflect brokerage commissions and
      has not been annualized for periods of less than one year.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
All-American Term Trust Inc.
 
     We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
All-American Term Trust Inc. (the 'Trust'), including the portfolio of
investments, as of January 31, 1995, and the related statements of operations
and cash flows for the year then ended, and the statement of changes in net
assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein.
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of
the Trust'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 at January
31, 1995 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Trust at January 31, 1995, the results of its operations, its cash flows, the
changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the indicated
periods in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Tax Information
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     We are required by subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, to advise you within 60 days of the Trust's fiscal year end (January

31, 1995), as to the federal tax status of distributions received by
stockholders during such fiscal year. Accordingly, we are advising you that the
distributions paid during the period by the Trust were derived from net
investment income and are taxable as ordinary income. Additionally, 0.05% of the
distributions paid qualifies for the dividends received deduction available to
corporate shareholders.
 
     Dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need
not be reported as taxable income. Some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate,
Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual
information reporting.
 
     Because the Trust's fiscal year is not the calendar year, another
notification will be sent in respect of calendar year 1995. The second
notification, which reflects the amount to be used by calendar year taxpayers on
their federal income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV
and will be mailed in January 1996. Shareholders are advised to consult their
own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the
Trust.
