UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
October 15, 2008
Dear shareholder, We present you with the annual report for UBS U.S. Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) for the 12 months ended August 31, 2008. Performance
Throughout the reporting period, both the US equity and fixed income markets experienced a high degree of volatility. Among numerous market challenges, fluctuating oil prices, inflationary pressures and falling corporate profits caused the equity markets to perform poorly during the reporting period, hurting the Fund’s returns. In fixed income, concerns over the US real estate market impacted mortgage- and asset-backed securities significantly, which weighed upon the Fund’s relative performance. | | | | UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Investment goal: Total return, consisting of long-term capital appreciation and current income
Portfolio Managers: Portfolio Management Team, including Edwin M. Denson, PhD. UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.
Commencement: Class A—May 10, 1993 Class B—January 30, 1996 Class C—July 22, 1992 Class Y—May 10, 1993

Against this backdrop, over the 12 months ended August 31, 2008, the Fund’s Class A shares declined 9.02% before deducting the maximum sales charge; after deducting the maximum sales charge, the Fund’s Class A shares declined 14.02%. During the same period, our proprietary index, the UBS U.S. Allocation Fund Index* declined 4.97%, and the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, fell 11.14%.
(Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in “Performance at a glance” on page 8; please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.)

UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
An interview with Lead Portfolio Manager Edwin M. Denson |
Q. | | Can you describe the economic environment during the reporting period? |
A. | | The US economy delivered mixed results during the 12-month reporting period. The US Department of Commerce reported that third quarter 2007 US gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth was a strong 4.8%. The economy then contracted during the last three months of the year, as fourth quarter 2007 GDP was – 0.2%. A variety of factors caused the economy to stumble, including the faltering housing market and tepid consumer and business spending. |
| | |
| | While there were fears that the US economy was headed for a recession—defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth—GDP grew a surprising 0.9% during the first quarter of 2008. The Commerce Department’s estimate for second quarter GDP growth was 2.8%. This strong showing was, in part, due to rising exports, buoyed by the declining dollar, which made US goods more attractive overseas. In addition, consumer spending improved in recent months, helped by the government’s tax rebate program. |
| | |
Q. | | How did the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) react in this economic environment? |
A. | | The Fed has been extremely aggressive in attempting to stabilize the markets and keep the US economy from falling into a recession. As the problems and fallout from subprime mortgages escalated, the Fed moved into action by pumping substantial amounts of liquidity into the financial system in an effort to facilitate normal market operations. For example, in March 2008, the Fed established a new lending program allowing certain brokerage firms to take loans from its discount window. During the same month, it also helped orchestrate the purchase of Bear Stearns by JPMorgan Chase. |
| | |
| | Following the conclusion of the reporting period, the Fed made available billions of dollars to investment firms in an attempt to settle the markets following Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy. It also announced an $85 billion loan to insurance giant AIG in exchange for an 80% ownership interest. The US Treasury Department was actively involved as well, taking control of mortgage finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. |
| | |
| | During the reporting period, the Federal Reserve Board lowered the federal funds rate seven times between September 2007 and April 2008 in an attempt to stimulate the US economy and address other concerns. (The Federal Funds rate, or “fed funds” rate, is the rate that banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis.) |

UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
| | The final reduction brought the rate to 2.00%—its lowest level since 2004. Following the conclusion of the reporting period, the Fed again reduced the rate, citing a reduction of inflationary pressures and slowing economic activity. The most recent cut lowered the rate to 1.5%. |
| | |
Q. | | How did the equity and fixed income markets perform during the reporting period? |
A. | | After initially rising in October 2007, the US stock market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, declined during each of the next five months. The market then rallied briefly in April and May before plunging 8.43% in June 2008. This marked its worst monthly performance since September 2002 and its worst month of June since the Great Depression in 1930. The market ended the 12-month period largely treading water in July and August. All told, the S&P 500 Index fell 11.14% during the reporting period, and was down nearly 20% since its peak in October 2007. |
| | |
| | Turning to the US bond market, Treasury yields moved in response to mixed signals regarding the economy, rising inflation and expectations regarding future Fed monetary policy. Treasury yields ultimately moved lower, given the Fed’s numerous interest rate cuts and increased investor risk aversion triggered by the escalating troubles in the housing market. In the 12 months ended August 31, 2008, the overall US bond market, as measured by the Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Index, returned 5.86%.(1) |
| | |
Q. | | How was the Fund allocated at the end of the reporting period? |
A. | | As of August 31, 2008, the Fund was overweight to equities and high yield debt, and underweight US bonds in relation to the target allocation of the UBS US Allocation Fund Index. This reflects a significant increase in the Fund’s allocation to equities and a decrease to bonds over the course of the 12-month period. |
| | |
| | During the reporting period, the sell-off in the equity markets caused the asset class to become undervalued, in our view. In response, we increased the Fund’s equity allocation. Given several flights to quality, high yield bond spreads widened over the period, making them more attractive, in our view. (Spread is the difference between the yield paid |

(1) | The Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Index covers the USD-denominated, investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market of SEC-registered securities. The index includes bonds from the Treasury, Government-Related, Corporate, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM passthroughs), ABS and CMBS sectors. US Agency Hybrid Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) securities were added to the US Aggregate Index on April 1, 2007. |

| | on US Treasury bonds and higher risk securities.) As such, we increased our exposure to these securities as well. |
| | |
| | While US investment grade bond prices fluctuated during the reporting period, we maintained our underweight to this area, as we found other areas of the market (such as equities and high yield bonds) to be more attractively valued based on our forward-looking risk and return expectations. Overall, our asset allocation strategies detracted from results during the reporting period, due to the weak performance of US equities and, to a lesser extent, high yield bonds. |
| | |
Q. | | Which equity strategies performed well during the reporting period, and which areas produced disappointing results? |
A. | | Overall, the Fund’s equity holdings detracted from performance during the reporting period, with an underweight to energy stocks, a significant contributor to underperformance. The Fund’s underweight to the energy sector stems largely from an underweight to energy reserves and exploration/production companies. We believe many of these companies will see their margins reduced as crude oil prices fall and costs associated with new projects coming on line continue to rise. In our opinion, investors pricing these stocks based on recent margin levels are likely to be disappointed when these stock prices underperform. |
| | |
| | While the Fund maintained an underweight to the energy sector, it was overweight oil services companies, benefiting performance. We expect, over time, that their business models will be less dependent on crude oil prices than they had been in years past. Historically, lower crude oil prices dramatically reduced the number of profitable projects that oil services companies could provide infrastructure to globally. Today, we believe projects will continue to be profitable, resulting in continued demand for oil services, even if crude prices decline. Also benefiting Fund performance were electric utilities and railroads, in addition to liquid natural gas terminals and pipelines. |
| | |
| | The Fund’s overweight to banks detracted from performance. Given the price volatility seen in financial stocks during the reporting period, it is clear that investors, and in some cases the companies themselves, are having a difficult time evaluating the impact of the credit deterioration and subprime mortgage fallout on their respective businesses. We believe that while the environment for financials will continue to be challenging over the near term, conditions will improve over time, and that many of the companies within the sector are worth far more than the prices investors are paying today. |

UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Q. | | How did you manage the Fund’s fixed income exposure during the reporting period? |
A. | | Early in the reporting period, we lengthened the Fund’s duration to a neutral position relative to the benchmark as we felt prices had moved to what we considered to be fair value. (Duration measures a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) At the end of November 2007, we moved to a modest underweight duration relative to the benchmark as disarray in the credit markets caused longer-term interest rates to approach historically low levels. In our view, these events priced in an unduly dire economic outlook. As interest rates moved sharply higher in May and early June 2008, they moved closer to our estimate of fair value, and we added duration to the Fund, again moving to a neutral position. Overall, our duration positioning had a positive impact on performance. |
| | |
| | We viewed the periods of market volatility and their subsequent pricing dislocations as opportunities to adjust the Fund’s portfolio. During the reporting period, we increased the Fund’s exposure to certain Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) that offered what we believed to be relatively attractive yields, benefiting performance. |
| | |
| | However, this was not enough to offset the negative impact of the Fund’s holdings in mortgage- and asset-backed securities, which hurt the Fund’s performance significantly during the reporting period. In both cases, these securities were impacted by the fallout in the subprime mortgage market and heightened investor risk aversion. |
| | |
| | Finally, we maintained a relatively conservative stance in the Fund’s high yield component. However, the Fund’s exposure to the sector hurt performance on an absolute basis when high yield bonds underperformed during the reporting period. |
| | |
Q. | | What is your outlook for the economy? |
A. | | While the extraordinary actions by the Fed and other government initiatives to add liquidity and restore confidence have provided some relief to the credit-related issues plaguing the markets, we expect volatility to remain high. As the credit crunch largely continues, and the effects of the still-slowing housing market are felt, the outlook for the US economy remains uncertain. We think it is likely, however, that the focus will shift from concerns over credit to a broader economic uneasiness. |
| | |
| | Looking ahead, we plan to monitor the state of the financial markets, inflation and the overall strength of the economy closely, as well as other factors that we believe are likely to influence the Fed’s future decisions on interest rates. |

Understanding your Fund’s expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transactional costs (as applicable), including sales charges (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; service and/or distribution (12b-1) fees (if applicable); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, March 1, 2008 to August 31, 2008.
Actual expenses
The first line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over a period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for each class of shares under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The second line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios for each class of shares and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return for each class of shares. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing Fund costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs (as applicable), such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line in the table for each class of shares is useful in comparing ongoing Fund costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

TIPS | | Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”) are debt securities issued by the US Treasury whose principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike debt securities that make fixed principal and interest payments. The interest rate paid by the TIPS is fixed, while the principal value rises or falls based on changes in a published Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Thus, if inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on the TIPS are adjusted accordingly to protect investors from inflationary loss. During a deflationary period, the principal and interest payments decrease, although the TIPS principal amounts will not drop below their face amounts at maturity. In exchange for the inflation protection, the TIPS generally pay lower interest rates than typical US Treasury securities. Only if inflation occurs will TIPS offer a higher real yield than a conventional Treasury bond of the same maturity. |

UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
Organization and significant accounting policies
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of UBS Investment Trust (the “Trust”) and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, diversified management investment company. The Trust was organized on March 28, 1991, as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and currently has one operating series.
Currently, the Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Each class represents interests 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 and related services expenses. In addition, Class B shares and all corresponding reinvested dividend shares automatically convert to Class A shares within a certain number of years after issuance which varies depending upon the amount invested. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that Class A, Class B and Class C shares each have exclusive voting rights with respect to their respective service and/or distribution plans. Class Y shares have no service or distribution plan.
As of October 1, 2007, new or additional investments into Class B shares, including investments through an automatic investment plan, are not permitted. Existing shareholders of Class B shares may: (i) continue as Class B shareholders; (ii) continue to reinvest dividends and distributions into Class B shares; and (iii) exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of other series of the UBS Family of Funds, as permitted by existing exchange privileges. For Class B shares outstanding on October 1, 2007 and Class B shares acquired upon reinvestment of dividends or distributions or through exchanges, all Class B share attributes, including the associated Rule 12b-1 service plan and distribution fees, contingent deferred sales charges and conversion features will continue.
In the normal course of business the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles requires the Fund’s management to make
50
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Valuation of investments—The Fund calculates net asset values based on the current market value for its portfolio securities. The Fund normally obtains market values for its securities from independent pricing sources. Independent pricing sources may use last reported sale prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized “matrix” systems that derive values based on comparable securities. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price available prior to valuation. Securities which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are 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 UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”). If a market value is not available from an independent pricing source for a particular security, that security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; and changes in overall market conditions. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (particularly non-US securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, these securities would be fair valued. The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt-instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value
51

Notes to financial statements
measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of August 31, 2008, management does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain measurements reported on the Statement of operations for a fiscal period.
In addition, in March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”). The standard requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s derivative and hedging activities. FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of FAS 161 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
Repurchase agreements—The Fund may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. The Fund maintains custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special “tri-party” custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate account for both the Fund and its counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund generally has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Repurchase agreements involving obligations other than US government securities (such as commercial paper, corporate bonds and mortgage loans) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain protections in the event of counterparty insolvency. If the seller (or seller’s guarantor, if any) becomes insolvent, the Fund may suffer delays, costs and possible losses in connection with the disposition or retention of the collateral. 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 may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global AM.

Notes to financial statements
Investment transactions, investment income and expenses—Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date (“ex-date”). 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.
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 (after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective classes). Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class of shares.
Securities traded on to-be-announced basis—The Fund may from time to time purchase securities on a to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA transaction, the Fund commits to purchasing or selling securities for which all specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date of the underlying security transactions. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, US government securities or other liquid securities are segregated in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations, and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.
At August 31, 2008, the Fund held TBA securities with a total cost of $14,438,337.
Option writing—The Fund may write (sell) put and call options on securities or derivative instruments in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets. When the Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included on the Fund’s Statement of assets and liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received
53
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security or derivative instrument and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which the Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security or derivative instrument which the Fund purchases upon exercise of the option.
In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the derivative instrument, security or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a derivative instrument, security or currency at a price different from current market value.
Written option activity for the year ended August 31, 2008 was as follows:
| | | | | Amount of |
| | | Number of | | premiums |
| | | contracts | | received |
|
Options outstanding at August 31, 2007 | | | — | | $— | |

Options written | | | 280 | | 337,704 | |
|
Options outstanding at August 31, 2008(1) | | | 280 | | $337,704 | |
|
(1) | For additional information regarding the written options outstanding at August 31, 2008, please refer to the footnotes in the Portfolio of investments. |
Purchased options—The Fund may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium which is included on the Statement of assets and liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
54
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
Futures contracts—Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, generally are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying financial futures contracts, except that in the case of certain futures contracts payments may be made or received at settlement. Such variation 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 gain or loss on futures.
Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks. If the Fund was unable to liquidate a futures position due to the absence of a liquid secondary market or the imposition of price limits, it could incur substantial losses and would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the position. In addition, the Fund would continue to be required to make variation margin payments and might be required to maintain the position being hedged or to maintain cash or securities in a separate account. Furthermore, certain characteristics of the futures market might increase the risk that movements in the prices of the financial futures contracts might not correlate perfectly with movements in the prices of the investments being hedged, including temporary price distortion. The separate account for margin will be maintained at the futures counterparty and may be subject to risks or delays if the counterparty becomes insolvent.
Interest rate swap agreements—The Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.
Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the contract. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net interest payment to be received by the Fund. Therefore, the Fund considers the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap contract in evaluating potential credit risk.
55
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
The Fund accrues for interim payments on swap contracts on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap contracts on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swaps, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap contracts on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swaps.
At August 31, 2008, the Fund had outstanding interest rate swap contracts with the following terms:

Credit default swap agreements—Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default of a security or a credit event. As a buyer, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and the Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event does occur, the Fund typically would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, the Fund would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and the Fund would make payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no default or credit event occurs, the Fund will gain the periodic stream of payments it received over the term of the contract and the counterparty will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a default or credit event occurs, the Fund typically pays full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk.

Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US 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.
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, country or region.

Investment advisor and administrator
The Board has approved an Investment Advisory and Administration Contract (“Advisory Contract”), under which UBS Global AM serves as investment advisor and administrator of the Fund. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund is to pay UBS Global AM an investment advisory and administration fee, which is to be accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $250 million and 0.45% thereafter.
UBS Global AM has agreed to permanently reduce its advisory and administration fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets so that it is assessed as follows: $0 to $250 million – 0.50%; in excess of $250 million up to $500 million – 0.45%; in excess of $500 million up to $2 billion – 0.40%; and over $2 billion – 0.35%. Accordingly, for the year ended August 31, 2008, UBS Global AM waived $73,285 in investment advisory and administration fees. At August 31, 2008, the Fund owed UBS Global AM $220,417 in investment advisory and administration fees. At August 31, 2008, UBS Global AM owed the Fund $2,137 for fee waivers under the above agreement.
For the year ended August 31, 2008, the Fund paid $27,682 in brokerage commissions to UBS Securities LLC., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG, for transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Additional information regarding compensation to affiliate of a board member
Effective March 1, 2005, Professor Meyer Feldberg accepted the position of senior advisor to Morgan Stanley, resulting in him becoming an interested trustee of the Fund. The Fund has been informed that Professor Feldberg’s role at Morgan Stanley does not involve matters directly affecting any UBS funds. Fund transactions are executed through Morgan Stanley based on that firm’s ability to provide best execution of the transactions. During the year ended August 31, 2008, the Fund paid brokerage commissions to Morgan Stanley in the amount of $15,779. During the year ended August 31, 2008, the Fund purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley having an aggregate value of $40,083,186. Morgan Stanley received compensation in connection with these trades, which may have been in the form of a “mark-up” or “mark-down” of the price of the securities, a fee from the issuer for maintaining a commercial paper program, or some other form of compensation. Although the precise amount of this compensation is not generally known by the
58
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
Fund’s investment advisor, it is believed that under normal circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions.
Service and distribution plans
UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. (“UBS Global AM—US”) is the principal underwriter of the Fund’s shares. Under separate plans of service and/or distribution pertaining to Class A, Class B and Class C shares, the Fund pays UBS Global AM—US monthly service fees at an annual 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 August 31, 2008, the Fund owed UBS Global AM—US $206,044 for service and distribution fees.
UBS Global AM—US also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid by shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charges paid by shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A, Class B and Class C shares. UBS Global AM—US has informed the Fund that for the year ended August 31, 2008, it earned $62,031, $26,904, and $5,007 in initial sales and deferred sales charges on Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
Redemption fees
Effective March 1, 2007, there is a redemption fee of 1.00% on any class of shares if an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, subject to certain exemptions as noted in the prospectus. For the year ended August 31, 2008, the Fund received $12,286 in redemption fees.
Transfer agency related services fees
UBS Financial Services Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG, provides certain services pursuant to a delegation of authority from PNC Global Investment Servicing (“PNC”), the Fund’s transfer agent, and is compensated for these services by PNC, not the Fund.
For the year ended August 31, 2008, UBS Financial Services, Inc. received from PNC, not the Fund, $321,064 of the total transfer agency and related services fees paid by the Fund to PNC.
Securities lending
The Fund may lend securities up to 331/3% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times
59
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
by cash, US government securities or irrevocable letters of credit in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The Fund may regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial 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 financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, US government securities or irrevocable letters of credit held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. UBS Financial Services Inc. and other affiliated broker-dealers have been approved as borrowers under the Fund’s securities lending program. UBS Securities LLC is the Fund’s lending agent. For the year ended August 31, 2008, UBS Securities LLC earned $78,640 in compensation as the Fund’s lending agent. At August 31, 2008, the Fund owed UBS Securities LLC $1,691 in compensation as the Fund’s lending agent. At August 31, 2008, the Fund had securities on loan having a market value of $19,537,767.
Bank line of credit
The Fund participates with other funds managed, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global AM in a $100 million committed credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“Committed Credit Facility”), to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Fund at the request of shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. Under the Committed Credit Facility arrangement, the Fund has agreed to pay a commitment fee, pro rata, based on the relative asset size of the funds in the Committed Credit Facility. Interest is charged to the Fund at the overnight federal funds rate in effect at the time of borrowings, plus 0.50%. The Fund did not borrow under the Committed Credit Facility during the year ended August 31, 2008.
Purchases and sales of securities
For the year ended August 31, 2008, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities and US Government securities, were $409,014,826 and $531,434,985, respectively.
For the year ended August 31, 2008, aggregate purchases and sales of US Government securities, excluding short-term securities, were $204,647,956 and $204,335,482, respectively.

Federal tax status
The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its 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, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2008 and August 31, 2007 were as follows:
Distributions paid from: | | 2008 | | 2007 |
|
Ordinary Income | | $ | 16,373,654 | | $ | 17,416,660 |
|
At August 31, 2008, the components of accumulated deficit on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | | | $10,991,108 | |
| |
Accumulated realized capital and other losses | | | (76,729,046 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized depreciation | | | (39,732,062 | ) |
| |
Total accumulated deficit | | $ | (105,470,000 | ) |
| |
The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, tax treatment of credit default swaps and return of capital adjustments from real estate investment trusts.
At August 31, 2008, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of $76,729,046. This loss carryforward is available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net realized capital gains and will expire August 31, 2011. To the extent that such losses are used to offset future net realized capital gains, it is probable these gains will not be distributed. For the year ended August 31, 2008, the Fund utilized $23,723,920 of capital loss carryforwards to offset current year realized gains.

For federal income tax purposes, the tax cost of investments and the components of net unrealized depreciation of investments at August 31, 2008 were as follows:
Tax cost of investments | | $ | 617,320,891 | |

To reflect reclassifications arising from permanent “book/tax” differences for the year ending August 31, 2008, undistributed net investment income was increased by $433,772, and accumulated net realized losses from investment transactions were increased by $433,772. These differences are primarily due to return of capital adjustments from real estate investments trusts, reclassification of swap income and paydown reclasses.
The Fund adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The implementation of FIN 48 resulted in no material liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits and no material change to the beginning net asset value of the Fund.
As of and during the year ended August 31, 2008, the Fund did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each of the tax years in the four year period ended August 31, 2008, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the operations of the Fund for the year ended August 31, 2008.
Capital contributions from investment manager
On April 17, 2008, the Fund recorded a capital contribution from UBS Global AM in the amount of $3,728. This amount was paid by UBS Global AM in connection with losses incurred due to changes in the valuation of securities.
On April 18, 2008, the Fund recorded a capital contribution from State Street Bank and Trust Co. and UBS Global AM in the amount of $25,561. Of this amount, $15,337 was paid by State Street Bank and Trust Co.,

UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Report of Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of UBS U.S. Allocation Fund (the sole series comprising UBS Investment Trust) (the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of August 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and others, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. 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 UBS U.S. Allocation Fund at August 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Tax information (unaudited)
We are required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to advise you within 60 days of the Fund’s fiscal year end (August 31, 2008) as to the federal tax status of distributions received by shareholders during such fiscal year. The percentage of dividends paid that qualify for the dividends received deduction for corporate shareholders is 55.22%.
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008, certain dividends paid by UBS U.S. Allocation Fund may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. Of the distributions paid during the fiscal year, $16,373,654 represents the maximum amount that may be considered qualified dividend income.
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.
Since the Fund’s fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent in respect of calendar year 2008. The second notification, which will reflect 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 2009. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)
Background—At a meeting of the board of UBS Investment Trust (the “Trust”) on July 16, 2008, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (“Independent Trustees”), as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), considered and approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement of the Trust with respect to its series, UBS U.S. Allocation Fund (the “Fund”), with UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”). In preparing for the meeting, the board members had requested and received extensive information from UBS Global AM to assist them, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives. The board received and considered a variety of information about UBS Global AM, as well as the advisory, administrative and distribution arrangements for the Fund. The board received materials detailing the administrative services provided to the Fund by UBS Global AM, which include providing accounting and financial analysis, ensuring that all financial and tax regulatory reporting requirements were met, certifying required Securities and Exchange Commission documentation and monitoring the performance of the Fund’s service providers.
The Independent Trustees also met for several hours the evening before the board meeting to discuss matters related to the Fund and other funds subject to their oversight and met again after management’s presentation was completed to review the disclosure that had been made to them at the meeting. At all of these sessions the Independent Trustees met in session with their independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the duties of board members in considering approval of advisory and administration agreements.
In its consideration of the approval of the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the investment advisory and administration agreement—The board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of advisory services provided to the Fund by UBS Global AM under the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement during the past year. The board considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative and

UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)
shareholder services performed by UBS Global AM and its affiliates. The board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures. The board noted that it received information at regular meetings throughout the year regarding the services rendered by UBS Global AM concerning the management of the Fund’s affairs and UBS Global AM’s role in coordinating providers of other services to the Fund, including custody, accounting and transfer agency services. The board’s evaluation of the services provided by UBS Global AM took into account the board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the scope and quality of UBS Global AM’s investment advisory and other capabilities and the quality of its administrative and other services. The board observed that the scope of services provided by UBS Global AM had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the Fund’s expanded compliance programs.
The board had available to it the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Fund’s senior personnel at UBS Global AM and had received information regarding the person primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and recognized that the Fund’s senior personnel at UBS Global AM report to the board regularly, some at every board meeting, and that at each regular meeting the board receives a report on the Fund’s performance. The board also considered, based on its knowledge of UBS Global AM and its affiliates, the financial resources available to UBS Global AM and its parent organization, UBS AG. In that regard, the board received extensive financial information regarding UBS Global AM and noted that it was a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of one of the largest financial services firms in the world. It was also noted that UBS Global AM had well over $100 billion in assets under management and was part of the UBS Global Asset Management Division, which had well over $700 billion of assets under management worldwide as of March 2008. The board was also cognizant of, and considered, the regulatory and litigation actions and investigations occurring in the past year involving UBS AG, UBS Global AM and certain of their affiliates.
The board reviewed how transactions in Fund assets are effected. The board also reviewed the Fund’s brokerage policies and practices, the standards applied in seeking best execution, policies and practices regarding soft dollars, the use of a broker affiliated with UBS Global AM and the existence
68
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)
of quality controls applicable to brokerage allocation procedures. In addition, UBS Global AM also reported to the board on, among other things, its disaster recovery plans and portfolio manager compensation plan.
The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement.
Advisory fees and expense ratios—The board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (“Contractual Management Fee”) payable by the Fund to UBS Global AM in light of the nature, extent and quality of the advisory and administrative services provided by UBS Global AM. The board also reviewed and considered the written agreement between UBS Global AM and the Fund, which is separate from UBS Global AM’s investment advisory agreement with the Fund, whereby UBS Global AM has agreed to permanently reduce its management fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets, which is discussed in more detail in the “Economies of scale” section, and considered the actual fee rate (after taking this agreement into account) (the “Actual Management Fee”). Additionally, the board received and considered information comparing the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and overall expenses with those of funds in a group of funds selected and provided by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data (the “Expense Group”).
In connection with its consideration of the Fund’s advisory fees, the board also received information on UBS Global AM’s standard institutional account fees for accounts of a similar investment type to the Fund. The board noted that, in general, these fees were lower than the Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee for the Fund, but also noted management’s explanation that comparisons with such accounts may be of limited relevance given the different structures and regulatory requirements of mutual funds versus such accounts and the differences in the levels of services required by mutual funds and such accounts. The board also received information on fees charged to other mutual funds managed by UBS Global AM.
In addition to the Contractual and Actual Management Fees, the board also reviewed and considered the total expenses for the Fund. The comparative Lipper information showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee,
69
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)
Actual Management Fee and total expenses were in the first quintile in the Fund’s Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report (with the first quintile representing that fifth of the funds in the Expense group with the lowest level of fees or expenses, as applicable, and the fifth quintile representing that fifth of the funds in the Expense Group with the highest level of fees or expenses, as applicable).
Taking all of the above into consideration, the board determined that the management fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement.
Fund performance—The board received and considered (a) annualized total return information of the Fund compared to other funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Lipper over the one-, three-, five-, ten-year and since inception periods ended April 30, 2008 and (b) annualized performance information for each year in the ten-year period ended April 30, 2008. The board was provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in its Performance Universe. The board also noted that it had received information throughout the year at periodic intervals with respect to the Fund’s performance, including with respect to its benchmark index.
The comparative Lipper information showed that the Fund’s performance was in the fifth quintile for the one-, three- and ten-year periods, the third quintile for the five-year period and the second quintile since inception (with the first quintile representing that fifth of the funds in the Performance Universe with the highest performance and the fifth quintile representing that fifth of the funds in the Performance Universe with the lowest performance). Management explained that the Fund’s slight underweights and overweights in certain sectors added value to the Fund’s performance; however, this was significantly overshadowed by poor security selection within both US equities and fixed income and securitized instruments. After having extended discussions regarding the Fund’s performance with the board, management indicated it would return to the board at a later meeting to discuss the strategic positioning of the Fund. Based on its review and management’s explanation, the board concluded that the Fund’s investment performance was acceptable.

Adviser profitability—The board received and considered a profitability analysis of UBS Global AM and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The board also received profitability information with respect to the UBS New York fund complex as a whole. UBS Global AM’s profitability was considered not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.
Economies of scale—The board received and considered information from management regarding whether UBS Global AM has achieved economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale for the Fund. The board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to shareholders. The board also considered whether alternative fee structures (such as breakpoints) would be more appropriate or reasonable taking into consideration economies of scale or other efficiencies.
Although the board noted that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee did not contain breakpoints, it recognized that the Trust had entered into an agreement with UBS Global AM, whereby UBS Global AM agreed to permanently reduce its Contractual Management Fee by utilizing breakpoints based on the Fund’s average daily net assets, thereby achieving the same effect as if the Contractual Management Fee contained breakpoints. The board also noted that as the Fund’s assets have increased over time, it has realized other economies of scale as certain expenses, such as fees for Trustees, auditors and legal fees, become a smaller percentage of overall assets.
Generally, in light of UBS Global AM’s profitability data and the Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee currently in place, the board believed that UBS Global AM’s sharing of current economies of scale with the Fund was acceptable.
Other benefits to UBS Global AM—The board considered other benefits received by UBS Global AM and its affiliates as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders.
71
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)
In light of the costs of providing investment advisory, administrative and other services to the Fund and UBS Global AM’s ongoing commitment to the Fund, the profits and other ancillary benefits that UBS Global AM and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.
In light of all of the foregoing, the board approved the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement to continue for another year.
In making its decision, the board identified no single factor as being determinative in approving the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the entire process. The board discussed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement in a private session with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of UBS Global AM were present.

| The [audit] Committee shall: |
|
| ... |
|
| | | |

In carrying out this responsibility, the Committee shall seek periodically from UBS Global [AM] and from the independent auditors a list of such audit and permissible non-audit services that can be expected to be rendered to the Fund, UBS Global [AM] or any Covered Service Providers by the Fund’s independent auditors, and an estimate of the fees sought to be paid in connection with such services. The Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to a sub-committee consisting of the Chairperson of the Committee and two other members of the Committee as the Chairperson, from time to time, may determine and appoint, and such sub-committee shall report to the Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the sub-committee’s meeting, its decision(s). From year to year, the Committee shall report to the Board whether this system of pre-approval has been effective and efficient or whether this Charter should be amended to allow for pre-approval pursuant to such policies and procedures as the Committee shall approve, including the delegation of some or all of the Committee’s pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other than UBS Global [AM] or the Fund’s officers). |

| | Non-Covered Services | | 1,608,370 | | | 1,845,915 |
| (h) | The registrant’s audit committee was not required to consider whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. |
