NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 PaineWebber Securities Trust ("Trust") was organized under Massachusetts law
by a Declaration of Trust dated December 3, 1992 and is registered with the Se-
curities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as an open-end, diversified investment company. The Trust is a series
mutual fund with two funds: PaineWebber Strategic Income Fund (the "Fund") and
PaineWebber Small Cap Fund. The financial statements of PaineWebber Small Cap
Fund are not included herein.
 Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its organization have been de-
ferred and are being amortized using the straight-line method over a period not
to exceed sixty months from the commencement of operations.
 Currently, the Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y (no Class Y
shares were outstanding during the period) shares. Each class represents inter-
ests in the same assets of the Fund, and the classes are identical except for
differences in their sales charge structures, ongoing service and distribution
charges and certain transfer agency expenses. In addition, Class B shares and
all corresponding reinvested dividend shares automatically convert to Class A
shares approximately six years after issuance. All classes of shares have equal
voting privileges, except that each class has exclusive voting rights with re-
spect 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 U.S. and foreign
stock exchanges are valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are
being valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid
price. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the se-
curities are valued on the exchange designated by Mitchell Hutchins Asset Man-
agement Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), a wholly owned subsidiary of PaineWebber
Incorporated ("PaineWebber") and investment adviser and administrator of the
Fund, as the primary market. Securities traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC")
market and listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") are valued at the last
trade price on Nasdaq prior to the time of valuation; other OTC securities are
valued at the last bid price available in the OTC market prior to the time of
valuation. The amortized cost method of valuation is used to value short-term
debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity. Securities and
assets for which market quotations are not readily available (including re-
stricted securities subject to limitations as to their sale) are valued at fair
value as determined in good faith by a management committee under the direction
of the Trust's board of trustees. All investments quoted in foreign currencies
will be valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency ex-
change rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Fund's
custodian.
 Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined prior to the close of
the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Occasionally, events affecting the value
of foreign investments and such exchange rates occur between the time at which
they are determined and the close of the NYSE, which will not be reflected in
the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If events materially affecting
the value of such securities or currency exchange rates occur during such time
period, the securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good
faith by or under the direction of the Trust's board of trustees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 Repurchase Agreements -- The 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, the 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. The Fund occasionally participates in
joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed by Mitchell
Hutchins.
 Investment Transactions and Investment Income -- Investment transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transac-
tions and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified
cost method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are ac-
creted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the
identified cost of investments.
 Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized
gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon
the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of dividend-
eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class at the beginning of the day (af-
ter adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective classes).
Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class of shares.
 Foreign Currency Translation -- The books and records of the Fund are main-
tained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dol-
lars on the following basis:
 (1) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities -- at
 the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.
 (2) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses -- at
 the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transac-
 tions.
 Although the Fund's net assets including the market values of the Fund's in-
vestments are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the close of the peri-
od, the Fund does not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities.
However, the Fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange
rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign
currency-denominated debt obligations pursuant to federal income tax regula-
tions.
 Forward Foreign Currency Contracts -- The Fund may enter into forward foreign
currency exchange contracts ("forward contracts") in connection with planned
purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio
securities denominated in a particular currency.
 The Fund has no specific limitation on the percentage of assets which may be
committed to such contracts. The Fund may enter into forward contracts or main-
tain a net exposure to forward contracts only if (1) the consummation of the
contracts would not obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency
in excess of the value of the position being hedged by such contracts or (2)
the Fund maintains cash, U.S. government securities or liquid debt securities
in a segregated account in an amount not less than the value of its total as-
sets committed to the consummation of the forward contracts and not covered as
provided in (1) above, as marked-to-market daily.
 Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential in-
ability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and from
unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S.
dollar.
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 Fluctuations in the value of forward contracts are recorded for book purposes
as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Realized gains and losses include
net gains and losses recognized by the Fund on contracts which have matured.
 Futures Contracts -- Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund
is required to pledge to a broker an amount of cash and/or U.S. Government se-
curities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is
known as the "initial margin." Subsequent payments, known as "variation mar-
gin," are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctu-
ations in the value of the underlying financial futures contracts. Such varia-
tion margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as
unrealized gain or loss until the financial futures contract is closed, at
which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized.
 Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks. The maximum
amount at risk from the purchase of a futures contract is the contract value.
The Fund primarily used financial futures contracts for hedging purposes and
not for leverage. However, imperfect correlations between futures contracts and
the portfolio securities being hedged or, market disruptions, do not normally
permit full control of these risks at all times.
 Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders -- Dividends and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and
distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These
"book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature.
To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are re-
classified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treat-
ment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
 Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may in-
volve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with invest-
ments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, ad-
verse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political,
social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific in-
dustry, country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets
to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. compa-
nies and U.S. government securities. These risks are greater with respect to
securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in which the Fund is
authorized to invest. The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the
Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political devel-
opments particular to a specific industry, country or region.
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 The Trust's board of trustees has approved an Investment Advisory and Adminis-
tration Contract ("Advisory Contract") with Mitchell Hutchins, under which
Mitchell Hutchins serves as investment adviser and administrator of the Fund.
In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins an
investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid
monthly, at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. At
May 31, 1997, the Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $40,021 in investment advisory
and administration fees.
DISTRIBUTION PLANS
 Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of the Fund's shares and has appointed
PaineWebber as the exclusive dealer for the sale of those shares. Under sepa-
rate plans of distribution pertaining to Class A, Class B and Class C shares,
the Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins monthly service fees at an annual rate of 0.25%
of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B and
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Class C shares and monthly distribution fees at an annual rate of 0.75% and
0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class B shares and Class C shares, re-
spectively. At May 31, 1997, the Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $41,979 in service
and distribution fees.
 Mitchell Hutchins also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid
by the shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares and the contingent de-
ferred sales charges paid by the shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class
A, Class B and Class C shares. Mitchell Hutchins has informed the Fund that for
the six months ended May 31, 1997, it earned $90,702 in sales charges.
SECURITY LENDING
 The Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to qualified institutions.
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 ac-
crued interest, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The Fund
will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain benefi-
cial rights, however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or
even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail finan-
cially. The Fund receives compensation, which is included in interest income,
for lending its securities from interest earned on the cash or U.S. government
securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus
reasonable administrative and custody fees. The Fund's lending agent is
PaineWebber, who received $136 from the Fund for the six months ended May 31,
1997.
 As of May 31, 1997, the Fund's custodian held cash and cash equivalents having
an aggregate value of $1,528,125 as collateral for portfolio securities loaned
having a market value of $1,498,965.
TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICE FEES
 The Fund pays PaineWebber an annual fee of $4.00 per active PaineWebber share-
holder account for certain services not provided by the Fund's transfer agent.
For these services for the six months ended May 31, 1997, PaineWebber earned
$7,806 in transfer agency service fees from the Fund. At May 31, 1997, the Fund
owed PaineWebber $1,279 for transfer agency service fees.
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
 For federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at May 31, 1997,
was substantially the same as the cost of securities for financial statement
purposes.
 At May 31, 1997, the components of the net unrealized appreciation of invest-
ments were as follows:

FEDERAL TAX STATUS
 The Fund intends to distribute all of its taxable income and to comply with
the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated in-
vestment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is re-
quired. 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 November 30, 1996, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of
$9,187,240 that will expire between November 30, 2002 and November 30, 2004.
This loss carryforward is available as a reduction, to the extent provided in
the regulations, of future net realized capital gains. To the extent that such
losses are used to offset future net realized capital gains, it is probable
these gains will not be distributed.
SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
 There is an unlimited amount of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest
authorized. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:
