PAINE WEBBER GROUP INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(In thousands of dollars except share and per share amounts)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Paine Webber Group
Inc. ("PWG") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including its principal
subsidiary, PaineWebber Incorporated ("PWI") (collectively, the "Company"). All
material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The
financial information as of and for the periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 is
unaudited. However, in the opinion of management of the Company, such
information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals,
necessary for a fair presentation. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994 and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995. The results of operations reported for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the
entire year. Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year amounts to
conform to current year presentations. The Company's principal line of business
is to serve the investment and capital needs of individual, corporate,
institutional and public agency clients.
NOTE 2: BUSINESS ACQUISITION
The purchase of certain assets and liabilities and specific businesses of
Kidder, Peabody Group Inc. ("Kidder") from General Electric Company was
completed in the first quarter of 1995 with the closing on the retail and asset
management businesses.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed results of operations for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 1994 assumes the acquisition of the Kidder
businesses occurred at the beginning of the year ended December 31, 1994:
Three Months Six Months
Ended June 30, 1994 Ended June 30, 1994
------------------- -------------------
Revenues $ 1,169,408 $2,518,915
Net revenues $ 763,439 $1,699,989
Net earnings (loss) $ (4,856) $ 70,991
Earnings (loss) per common share:
Primary $ (0.13) $ 0.58
Fully diluted $ (0.13) $ 0.57
The unaudited pro forma condensed results of operations for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the Company's
results of operations that might have occurred had the transaction been executed
at the beginning of 1994, or of any future results of operations of the Company.
Adjustments to 1995 to develop pro forma results as if the retail and asset
management closings had occurred on January 1, 1995 were not material.
NOTE 3: LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INVESTMENT CHARGES
In the second quarter of 1995, the Company recorded an after-tax charge of
$126,000 ($200,000 before income taxes) reflecting the Company's assessment of
the total financial cost of resolving Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"), individual and class action claims arising out of the sale of limited
partnerships that began in the mid-1980's. The Company has reached a stage in
its settlement discussions with the SEC staff and in its evaluation of
individual and class action claims such that it now has a sound and
comprehensive basis for quantifying the total costs of resolving limited
partnership investment issues. The charge is included in "Other liabilities"
and "Other expenses" in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial
Condition and Consolidated Statement of Operations, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Substantially all of the Company's financial instruments are carried at fair
value or amounts approximating fair value. Assets, including cash and cash
equivalents, cash and securities segregated for regulatory purposes, trading
inventories, securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to resell, and
certain receivables, are carried at fair value or contracted amounts which
approximate fair value. Similarly, liabilities, including short-term borrowings,
commitments for securities sold but not yet purchased, securities loaned or sold
under agreements to repurchase, and certain payables, are carried at fair value
or contracted amounts approximating fair value.
At June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the fair value of long-term borrowings
was $2,459,016 and $2,107,538, respectively, as compared to the carrying amounts
of $2,471,258 and $2,315,415, respectively. The estimated fair value of
long-term borrowings is based upon quoted market prices for the same or similar
issues and pricing models. However, for substantially all its fixed rate debt,
the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to convert its fixed rate
payments into floating payments, which partially offset the effect of the
changes in interest rates on the fair value of the Company's long-term
borrowings.
The fair value of interest rate swaps used to hedge the Company's long-term
borrowings is based upon the amounts the Company would receive or pay to
terminate the agreements, taking into account current interest rates and
creditworthiness of the counterparties. The fair value of the interest rate
swaps was $19,774 and $172,193 payable at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
respectively. The carrying amounts of the interest rate swap agreements at June
30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 were $372 payable and $4,480 receivable,
respectively, and are included in "Dividends and interest" in the Company's
Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

NOTE 11: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
Held or Issued for Trading Purposes
In the normal course of business, the Company engages in a variety of derivative
and non-derivative financial instrument transactions in connection with its
market risk management, its principal trading activities and also on behalf of
its clients. Derivative financial instruments include forward and futures
contracts, options contracts, interest rate swaps and other contracts committing
the Company to purchase or deliver other instruments at specified future dates
and prices, or to make or receive payments based upon notional amounts and
specified rates or indices. As defined by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 119,
"Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," a derivative financial instrument also includes unsettled purchase
and sale agreements and firm or standby commitments for the purchase of
securities. It does not include on-balance-sheet receivables and payables whose
value is derived from changes in the value of some underlying asset or index,
such as mortgage-backed securities and structured notes.
In connection with its market risk management and principal trading activities,
the Company may enter into a derivative contract to manage the risk arising from
other financial instruments or to take a position based upon expected future
market conditions. The Company also takes positions to facilitate client
transactions and acts as a market-maker in certain listed and unlisted
securities. These contracts are valued at market, and unrealized gains and
losses are reflected in the financial statements.
A large portion of the Company's derivative financial instruments are "to be
announced" mortgage securities requiring forward settlement. As a principal in
the mortgage-backed securitization business, the Company has outstanding forward
purchase and sale agreements committing the Company to deliver participation
certificates and mortgage-backed securities.

The Company also enters into agreements to sell securities, at predetermined
prices, which have not yet been purchased. The Company is exposed to market risk
since to satisfy the obligation, the Company must acquire the securities at
market prices, which may exceed the values reflected on the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Condition.
The Company's risk of loss in the event of counterparty default is limited to
the current fair value or the replacement cost on contracts in which the Company
has recorded an unrealized gain. These amounts are reflected as assets on the
Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and amounted to $571,333
and $302,411 at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively. Options
written do not expose the Company to credit risk since they do not obligate the
counterparty to perform. Transactions in futures contracts are conducted through
regulated exchanges which have margin requirements, and are settled in cash on a
daily basis, thereby minimizing credit risk.
The following table summarizes the Company's principal transaction revenue (net
trading revenues) by business activity for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 1995.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Held or Issued for Purposes Other Than Trading
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to ensure that the
interest rate characteristics of assets and liabilities are matched. As of June
30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the Company had outstanding interest rate swap
agreements with large financial institutions with a notional principal amount of
$1,836,250. These agreements effectively converted approximately 84% of the
Company's fixed rate debt at June 30, 1995 into floating rate debt. The interest
rate swap agreements entered into have had the effect of increasing net interest
expense on the Company's long-term borrowings by $1,466 for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 and reducing net interest expense by $19,169 for the six months
ended June 30, 1994. The difference to be received or paid on the swap
agreements is included in interest expense as incurred and any related
receivable from or payable to counterparties is reflected as an asset or
liability, accordingly. The Company had no deferred gains or losses related to
terminated swap agreements at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994. The Company
is subject to market risk as interest rates fluctuate. The interest rate swaps
contain credit risk to the extent the Company is in a receivable or gain
position and the counterparty defaults. However, the counterparties to the
agreements are large financial institutions and the Company has not experienced
defaults in the past and management does not anticipate any counterparty
defaults in the foreseeable future.
NOTE 12: RISK MANAGEMENT
Transactions involving derivative and non-derivative financial instruments
involve varying degrees of both market and credit risk. The Company monitors its
exposure to market and credit risk on a daily basis and through a variety of
financial, security position and credit exposure reporting, and control
procedures.
Market Risk
Market risk is the potential change in value of the financial instrument caused
by unfavorable changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or the
fair values of the securities underlying the instrument. The Company has a
variety of methods to monitor its market risk profile. The senior management of
each business group is responsible for reviewing trading positions, exposures,
profits and losses, and trading strategies on a daily basis. The Company also
has an independent risk management group which aids in setting and monitoring
risk management policies of the Company, including monitoring adherence to the
established limits, performing market risk modeling, and reviewing trading
positions and hedging strategies. The Asset/Liability Management Committee is
responsible for establishing trading position and exposure limits and is
comprised of senior corporate and business unit managers.
Market risk modeling is based on estimating loss exposure through daily stress
testing. These results are compared to daily limits and exceptions are subject
to review and approval by senior management. Other market risk control
procedures include monitoring inventory agings, reviewing traders' marks and
regular meetings between the senior management of the business groups and the
risk management group.
Credit Risk in Proprietary Transactions
Counterparties to the Company's proprietary trading, hedging, financing and
arbitrage activities are primarily financial institutions, including brokers and
dealers, banks and institutional clients. Credit losses could arise should
counterparties fail to perform and the value of any collateral proves
inadequate. The Company manages credit risk by monitoring net exposure to
individual counterparties on a daily basis, monitoring credit limits and
requiring additional collateral where appropriate.
Derivative credit exposures are calculated, aggregated and compared to
established limits by the credit department. Credit reserve requirements are
determined by senior management in conjunction with the Company's continuous
credit monitoring procedures. Historically, reserve requirements arising from
instruments with off-balance-sheet risk have not been material.
Receivables and payables with brokers and dealers, and agreements to resell and
repurchase securities are generally collateralized by cash, U.S. government and
government-agency securities, and letters of credit. The market value of the
initial collateral received is, at a minimum, equal to the contract value.
Additional collateral is requested when considered necessary.
13
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Company may pledge clients' securities as collateral in support of
securities loaned and bank loans as well as to satisfy margin requirements at
clearing organizations. The amounts loaned or pledged are limited to the extent
permitted by applicable margin regulations. Should the counterparty fail to
return the clients' securities, the Company may be required to replace them at
prevailing market prices. At June 30, 1995, the market value of client
securities loaned to other brokers approximated the amounts due or collateral
obtained.
Credit Risk in Client Activities
Client transactions are entered on either a cash or margin basis. In a margin
transaction, the Company extends credit to a client for the purchase of
securities, using the securities purchased and/or other securities in the
client's account as collateral for amounts loaned. Amounts loaned are limited by
margin regulations of the Federal Reserve Board and other regulatory authorities
and are subject to the Company's credit review and daily monitoring procedures.
Market declines could, however, reduce the value of any collateral below the
principal amount loaned, plus accrued interest, before the collateral can be
sold.
Client transactions include positions in commodities and financial futures,
securities sold but not yet purchased and written options. The risk to the
Company's clients in these transactions can be substantial, principally due to
price volatility which can reduce the clients' ability to meet their
obligations. Margin deposit requirements pertaining to commodity futures and
options transactions are generally lower than those for exchange traded
securities. To the extent clients are unable to meet their commitments to the
Company and margin deposits are insufficient to cover outstanding liabilities,
the Company may take market action and credit losses could be realized.
Trades are recorded on a settlement date basis. Should either the client or
broker fail to perform, the Company may be required to complete the transaction
at prevailing market prices. Trades pending at June 30, 1995 were settled
without adverse effect on the Company's financial statements, taken as a whole.
NOTE 13: CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Concentrations of credit risk that arise from financial instruments (whether on-
or off-balance-sheet) exist for groups of counterparties when they have similar
economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet obligations to
be similarly affected by economic, industry or geographic factors. As a major
securities firm, the Company engages in activities with a broad range of
corporations, governments, and institutional and individual investors. The
Company has no significant exposure to any individual counterparty. The
Company's most significant industry concentration, which arises within its
normal course of business activities, is financial institutions including banks,
brokers and dealers, mutual funds and insurance companies. The Company seeks to
control its credit risk and the potential for risk concentration through a
variety of reporting and control procedures.
NOTE 14: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the Company was contingently liable
under unsecured letters of credit totaling $100,218 and $212,211, respectively,
which approximates fair value. In addition, at June 30, 1995, certain of the
Company's subsidiaries were contingently liable as issuer of $86,160 of notes
payable to managing general partners of various limited partnerships pursuant to
Internal Revenue Service guidelines. There is no market for these guarantees,
therefore, it is not practicable to estimate their fair value. In the opinion of
management, these contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole. The Company also
had conditional commitments of $18,551 to contribute capital to limited
partnerships as of June 30, 1995.
At June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, securities with a fair value of $873,947
and $674,669, respectively, had been loaned or pledged as collateral for
securities borrowed of approximately equal fair value.
In meeting the financing needs of certain of its clients, PWI has issued standby
letters of credit which amounted to $16,778 at June 30, 1995. The standby
letters of credit are fully collateralized by marginable securities.
14
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Company has been named as defendant in numerous legal actions in the
ordinary course of business. While the outcome of such matters cannot be
predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management of the Company, after
consultation with various counsel handling such matters, these actions will be
resolved with no material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements, taken as a whole.

NOTE 16: EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
For the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and for the six months ended
June 30, 1995, as a result of the net losses reported, the Company computed its
loss per common share by dividing the net loss by the weighted average common
shares outstanding, which excludes restricted stock and antidilutive securities,
during the respective periods.
For the six months ended June 30, 1994, the Company computed its earnings per
common share under the modified treasury stock method in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 by dividing net earnings, adjusted
for any interest savings, by the weighted average common and common equivalent
shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares include common
shares issuable under the Company's stock option and award plans, the conversion
of convertible debentures and restricted stock outstanding.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company's principal business activities are, by their nature, affected by
many factors, including general economic and financial conditions, the level and
volatility of interest rates, currency and security valuations, competitive
conditions, counterparty risk, transactional volume and market liquidity. As a
result, revenues and profitability have been in the past, and are likely to
continue to be, subject to fluctuations reflecting the impact of these factors.
The securities industry experienced improved conditions in the second quarter of
1995, as compared to the prior year. Increased investor optimism and a declining
interest rate environment have contributed to the upturn in activity in both the
stock and bond markets. During the second quarter of 1995, the average daily
volume on the three primary U.S. equity markets reached record levels. In
addition, there was a resurgence in new equity and debt issues during the
quarter.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter Ended June 30, 1995 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 1994
The Company's net earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, before giving
effect to a one-time after-tax charge of approximately $126 million related to
resolving the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), individual and class
action claims arising out of the sale of limited partnerships, were $35.4
million or $0.28 per primary and fully diluted share. This compares to net
earnings of $9.1 million or $0.12 per primary and fully diluted share during the
second quarter of 1994, before giving effect to an after-tax charge of
approximately $34 million related to the PaineWebber Short-Term U.S. Government
Income Fund (the "Fund"). The net loss for the second quarter of 1995, after
giving effect to the one-time charge, was $90.5 million or $1.06 per primary and
fully diluted share. This compares to a net loss in the second quarter of 1994
of $25.1 million or $0.35 per primary and fully diluted share, after giving
effect to the non-recurring charge related to the Fund. During the second
quarter of 1995, net revenues were $824.8 million, 42.5% higher than the prior
year period, primarily due to higher principal transaction and commission
revenues.
In the second quarter of 1995, the Company recorded an after-tax charge of
$126,000 ($200,000 before income taxes) reflecting the Company's assessment of
the total financial cost of resolving SEC, individual and class action claims
arising out of the sale of limited partnerships that began in the mid-1980's.
The Company has reached a stage in its settlement discussions with the SEC
staff and in its evaluation of individual and class action claims such that it
now has a sound and comprehensive basis for quantifying the total costs of
resolving limited partnership investment issues.
Results for the second quarter of 1994 were reduced by an after-tax charge of
approximately $34 million ($57 million pre-tax) relating to the reimbursement to
certain shareholders of the Fund, a mutual fund managed by the Company's
investment subsidiary, Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc., for losses and
other expenses attributable to mortgage-derivative securities owned by the Fund.
In addition, the Company purchased all interest only and principal only
securities held by the Fund, as well as two structured floating rate securities
from the Fund, for an aggregate price of approximately $235 million, in order to
permit the Fund to maintain an appropriate mix of investments based on its
investment objectives and reduced size.
Commission revenues earned during the second quarter of 1995 were $323.8
million, 34.5% higher than the $240.7 million earned during the second quarter
of 1994, due to the increased number of investment executives as a result of the
Kidder, Peabody Group Inc. ("Kidder") acquisition and increased market volume.
Listed commissions increased $73.9 million or 61.0%, mutual fund commissions
increased $8.8 million or 22.2%, and over-the-counter commissions increased $8.0
million or 46.0%. These gains were partially offset by lower insurance
commissions due to decreased sales of insurance annuities.
Principal transactions revenues were $204.3 million, as compared to $91.7
million for the prior year quarter. The increase in these revenues reflects
improved results in mortgages, corporate debt and municipal securities. These
improvements were partially offset by a decline in U.S. government securities.
Investment banking revenues increased 49.8% during the second quarter of 1995 to
$88.6 million, reflecting a higher level of corporate and municipal offerings
and increased private placements.
16
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Asset management fees, which are largely recurring in nature, increased $8.4
million or 9.4%, primarily due to increased fees earned on managed or "wrap"
accounts, and higher investment advisory fees earned on money market and
institutional accounts. Average assets in wrap accounts during the second
quarter of 1995 were approximately 45% higher than the prior year period.
Average assets in money market and institutional accounts increased
approximately 34% and 24%, respectively. These increases were partially offset
by lower investment advisory and distribution fees earned on long-term mutual
funds as a result of lower average assets.
Net interest increased $5.8 million or 9.4% due to lower financing costs
relating to lower equity inventory positions, expansion of the stock loan
business, and increased margin lending to clients, offset by a decreased spread
on fixed income inventory positions.
Other income increased $6.5 million or 17.9% primarily due to higher transaction
fees.
Compensation and benefits were $504.8 million, as compared to $344.7 million for
the second quarter of 1994. Compensation costs increased following the
acquisition of Kidder businesses, higher revenues resulting from increased
market activity, higher performance based incentive compensation and normal
salary increases. Compensation and benefits as a percentage of net revenues was
61.2% during the second quarter of 1995, as compared to 59.5% during the second
quarter of 1994.
All other operating expenses were $465.6 million, as compared to $276.0 million
during the prior year period. For the second quarter of 1995, other expenses
includes the charge related to the sale of limited partnerships, and, for the
second quarter of 1994, other expenses includes the charge related to the Fund.
Higher litigation related costs are also included in other expenses and
professional services. Higher office and equipment, communications and
brokerage, clearing and exchange fees are due to the incremental business
activity attributable to the acquired Kidder businesses.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1994
Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1995, before giving effect to the
one-time charge, were $69.7 million or $0.54 per fully diluted share ($0.56
primary), as compared to $64.8 million or $0.83 per fully diluted share ($0.84
primary) for the six months ended June 30, 1994, before giving effect to the
non-recurring charge related to the Fund. Including the charges, the net loss
for the first six months of 1995 was $56.2 million or $0.76 per primary and
fully diluted share, as compared to net earnings of $30.6 million or $0.41 per
primary and fully diluted share for the first six months of 1994. Revenues, net
of interest expense, were $1,550.6 million, 16.5% higher than the $1,331.0
million earned during the prior year period. The increase in revenues is
primarily attributable to the incremental business related to the acquired
Kidder businesses and improved market conditions.
Commission revenues increased $72.7 million or 13.9% over the first six months
of 1994. Listed commissions increased $87.3 million or 32.8%, over-the-counter
commissions increased $6.1 million or 16.1%, and commodities commissions
increased $5.6 million or 28.1%. These increases were offset by lower insurance
commissions as a result of decreased sales of insurance annuities.
Principal transaction revenues were $418.0 million, as compared to $275.6
million. This increase reflects improved results in mortgages, corporate debt
and municipal securities, partially offset by lower results in U.S. government
securities.
Investment banking revenues were $138.4 million, as compared to $156.7 million
earned during the first six months of 1994. The decreased revenues reflect a
lower level of corporate debt and equity underwritings.
Asset management fees increased 3.8% to $187.9 million, primarily due to higher
fees earned on wrap accounts and increased advisory fees earned on money market
and institutional accounts, partially offset by lower advisory and distribution
fees earned on long-term mutual funds.
17
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Net interest increased $4.4 million or 3.4% to $133.8 million for the first six
months of 1995. This increase is primarily due to lower financing costs relating
to lower equity inventory positions, expansion of the stock loan business and
increased margin lending to clients, offset by a decreased spread on fixed
income inventory positions.
Other income increased $11.5 million or 17.1%, primarily due to increased
transaction fees and higher fees from Individual Retirement Accounts due to an
increased number of accounts. These increases were partially offset by lower
dividend income.
Compensation and benefits were $937.8 million, as compared to $776.4 million for
the first six months of 1994. Compensation costs increased following the
acquisition of the Kidder businesses, higher revenues resulting from increased
market activity, higher performance based incentive compensation and normal
salary increases. Compensation and benefits as a percentage of net revenues was
60.5%, as compared to 58.3% during the prior year period.
All other operating expenses were $705.6 million, as compared to $503.6 million
during the first six months of 1994. In 1995, other expenses includes the $200.0
million charge related to the sale of limited partnerships, and, in 1994, other
expenses includes the charge related to the Fund. Higher litigation related
costs are also included in other expenses and professional services. Higher
office and equipment, communications and brokerage, clearing and exchange fees
are due to the incremental business activity attributable to the acquired Kidder
businesses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The primary objectives of the Company's funding policies are to insure ample
liquidity at all times and a strong capital base. These objectives are met by
maximization of self-funded assets, diversification of funding sources,
maintenance of prudent liquidity and capital ratios, and contingency planning.
Liquidity
The Company maintains a liquid balance sheet with the majority of assets
consisting of inventories, securities borrowed or purchased under agreements to
resell, and receivables from clients, brokers and dealers, which are readily
convertible into cash. The nature of the Company's business as a securities
dealer results in carrying significant levels of trading inventories in order to
meet its client and proprietary trading needs. The Company's total assets may
fluctuate from period to period as a result of changes in the level of trading
positions held to facilitate client transactions, the volume of resale and
repurchase transactions, and proprietary trading strategies. These fluctuations
depend significantly upon economic and market conditions, and transactional
volume.
The Company's total assets at June 30, 1995 were $47.9 billion compared to $35.9
billion at December 31, 1994, reflecting an increase primarily in securities
purchased under agreements to resell. The majority of the Company's assets are
financed by daily operations such as securities sold under agreements to
repurchase, free credit balances in client accounts and securities lending
activity. Additional financing sources are available through bank loans and
commercial paper, committed and uncommitted lines of credit, and the issuance of
long-term senior and subordinated debt.
The Company maintains committed and uncommitted credit facilities from a diverse
group of banks. The Company has two unsecured senior revolving credit agreements
to provide up to $2.0 billion, including $1.2 billion, which expires in December
1995 with provisions for renewal through December 1997 and $800.0 million, which
expires in December 1997. At June 30, 1995, there were no outstanding borrowings
under these credit facilities. Additionally, the Company had more than $5
billion in uncommitted lines of credit at June 30, 1995.
The Company maintains public shelf registration statements for the issuance of
debt securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company
issued $125.0 million of 8 7/8% Notes in March 1995 Due 2005, $125.0 million of
8 1/4% Notes in May 1995 Due 2002, and $80.0 million of Medium-Term Senior
Notes, with varying maturities and rates of interest, during the six months
ended June 30, 1995, under these registration statements. At June 30, 1995, the
Company had $527.6 million in debt securities available for issuance.
18
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
Capital Resources and Capital Adequacy
The Company's businesses are capital intensive. In addition to a funding policy
which provides for diversification of funding sources and maximization of
liquidity, the Company maintains a strong capital base. At June 30, 1995, the
Company's total capital base, which includes long-term borrowings, redeemable
preferred stock and stockholders' equity, was $4.2 billion, an increase of $63.0
million from December 31, 1994. The additions to capital primarily reflect an
increase in long-term borrowings of $155.8 million offset by a decrease in
stockholders' equity of $93.3 million. The increase in long-term borrowings
reflects the issuances of $125.0 million of 8 7/8% Notes, $125.0 million of 8
1/4% Notes, and $80.0 million of Medium-Term Senior Notes. These increases were
offset by the maturities of $150.0 million of 9 5/8% Notes in May 1995 and $45.0
million of Medium-Term Notes. The decrease in stockholders' equity is primarily
the result of the Company's net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1995 of
$56.2 million, dividends accrued and paid of $38.5 million, and the repurchase
of approximately 1,856,000 shares of common stock for $32.3 million. These
decreases were offset by net amortization of restricted stock awards of $18.6
million. At June 30, 1995, the remaining number of shares of common stock
authorized to be repurchased by the Company's Board of Directors was 7,025,369
shares.
PWI is subject to the net capital requirements of the SEC, the New York Stock
Exchange and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, which are designed to
measure the financial soundness and liquidity of broker-dealers. PWI has
consistently maintained net capital in excess of the minimum requirements as
imposed by these agencies. In addition, the Company has other banking and
securities subsidiaries, both domestic and foreign, which have also consistently
maintained net regulatory capital in excess of requirements.
Merchant Banking and Highly Leveraged Transactions
In connection with its merchant banking activities, the Company has provided
financing and made investments in companies, some of which are involved in
highly leveraged transactions. Positions taken or commitments made by the
Company may involve credit or market risk from any one issuer or industry.
At June 30, 1995, the Company had investments in merchant banking transactions
which were affected by liquidity, reorganization or restructuring issues
amounting to $79.4 million, net of reserves, compared to $56.9 million, net of
reserves, at December 31, 1994. These investments have not had a material effect
on the Company's results of operations. Included in the portfolio at June 30,
1995 was an investment of $52.2 million in a limited partnership which
specializes in investments in corporate restructurings and special situations.
The Company did not enter into any significant merchant banking transactions
during the six months ended June 30, 1995.
The Company's trading activities include market-making transactions in
high-yield debt securities. These securities generally involve greater risks
than investment-grade corporate debt securities because these issuers usually
have high levels of indebtedness and lower credit ratings and are, therefore,
more vulnerable to general economic conditions. At June 30, 1995, the Company
held in long and short inventory $123.2 million and $24.2 million, respectively,
of high-yield debt securities, which accounted for less than 1% of gross
inventory positions. No one issuer accounted for more than 12% of the total
amount. The Company continually monitors its risk positions associated with
high-yield debt securities and establishes limits with respect to overall market
exposure, industry group and individual issuer. The Company accounts for these
positions at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reflected in revenues.
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company recorded pre-tax trading
revenues on transactions in high-yield securities of $10.5 million. For the six
months ended June 30, 1994, the Company recorded pre-tax trading losses of $1.2
million on transactions in high-yield debt securities.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
A derivative financial instrument represents a contractual agreement between
counterparties whose value is derived from changes in the value of some other
underlying asset such as the price of another security, interest rates, currency
exchange rates, specified rates (e.g. LIBOR) or indices (e.g. S&P 500), or the
value referenced in the contract. Derivatives may be traded on exchanges such as
futures, certain options contracts and structured products (e.g. indexed
warrants) or negotiated in over-the-counter markets such as forward contracts,
interest rate swaps, caps and floors, and other structured products.
In the normal course of business, the Company engages in a variety of derivative
transactions in connection with its proprietary trading activities and asset and
liability management, as well as on behalf of its clients. As a dealer, the
Company regularly makes a market in and trades a variety of securities. The
Company is also engaged in creating structured products which are sold to
clients. In connection with these activities, the Company attempts to reduce its
exposure to market risk by entering into offsetting hedging transactions which
may include derivative financial instruments. The Company also enters into
interest rate swap contracts to hedge its fixed rate borrowings and reduce
overall borrowing costs.
The notional amount of a derivative contract is used to measure the volume of
activity and is not reflected on the statement of financial condition. The
Company had off-balance-sheet derivative contracts outstanding with gross
notional amounts of $58.6 billion and $39.4 billion at June 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994, respectively, which included $33.6 billion and $16.3 billion,
respectively, related to "to be announced" mortgage securities requiring forward
settlement. Also included in these amounts was $1.8 billion of interest rate
swap agreements used to hedge the Company's long-term borrowings at June 30,
1995 and December 31, 1994.
For a more detailed discussion and disclosure on derivative financial
instruments, see "Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk", "Risk
Management" and "Concentrations of Credit Risk" in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in a number of proceedings concerning matters arising in
connection with the conduct of its business. Certain actions in which
compensatory damages of $144 million or more appear to be sought, and in which
there have been material developments during the quarter, are described below.
The Company is also involved in numerous proceedings in which compensatory
damages of less than $144 million appear to be sought, or in which punitive or
exemplary damages, together with the apparent compensatory damages alleged,
appear to exceed $144 million. The Company has denied, or believes it has
legitimate defenses and will deny, liability in all significant cases pending
against it, and intends to defend actively each such case. The following
developments have occurred in the indicated cases, each of which was previously
reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1994 or in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended
March 31, 1995.
Northview Corporation Litigation
In May 1995, PaineWebber Incorporated and one of the individual defendants
(hereinafter referred to as the "settling defendants") agreed to settle this
action conditioned upon entry of a final judgment with respect to the settling
defendants by the Court, after notice to the remaining non-settling
co-defendants and a fairness hearing determining that such settlement was made
in good faith, approving such settlement, dismissing the complaint with
prejudice as to the settling defendants and barring all non-settling
co-defendants from maintaining any claims for contribution or indemnification
against the settling defendants.
In Re NASDAQ Market-Maker Antitrust and Securities Litigation
On May 25, 1995, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation vacated its
conditional transfer order in the Merrill Lynch action and remanded the case to
the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey for further
proceedings.
On August 3, 1995, the defendants' motion to dismiss in the NASDAQ Litigation
was granted with leave to replead within 45 days.
Limited Partnership Class Actions
In late May and early June 1995, the courts in the Federal Court Limited
Partnership Actions and the Geodyne Limited Partnership Actions entered orders
consolidating all of the pretrial proceedings and certifying these actions as
class actions. Discovery is underway in these coordinated class actions and
PaineWebber's time to answer or otherwise move with respect to the consolidated
amended complaint in the Federal Court Limited Partnership Actions has not yet
expired.
The action that was filed in the federal court in Florida has been transferred
to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York where
it has been consolidated with the Federal Court Limited Partnership Actions. The
action that was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York has been
stayed.
In the action that was filed in Brazoria County, Texas on behalf of investors in
the Pegasus aircraft leasing partnerships, PaineWebber has filed an answer
denying the allegations in the plaintiff's complaint, has removed the case to
the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas and is
seeking to have the case transferred to the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York for consolidation with the Federal Court Limited
Partnership Actions.

For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and
preferred stock dividends (tax effected), "earnings" consist of earnings (loss)
before taxes and fixed charges. "Fixed charges" consist of interest expense
incurred on securities sold under agreements to repurchase, short-term
borrowings, long-term borrowings and that portion of rental expense estimated to
be representative of the interest factor.
* Earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges and would have had to
increase $116,993 in order to cover the deficiency.
