    June 30, 1996.  Three of the  unconsolidated  joint ventures own and operate
    residential apartment complexes.  As discussed further in the Annual Report,
    one  unconsolidated  joint  venture  (Parkwoods)  had owned and  operated  a
    residential apartment complex until the property was completely destroyed by
    a fire in October of 1991. On April 15, 1994,  this venture sold the land at
    the former site of the  Parkwoods  apartment  complex to an affiliate of the
    Partnership's  co-venture  partner for  $4,750,000.  Despite the sale of the
    remaining real property, the Parkwoods joint venture has not been liquidated
    to  date  due  to  certain   outstanding   legal  matters   related  to  the
    aforementioned fire.

        On December 23, 1994, Austin  Northcastle  Partners,  a joint venture in
    which  the  Partnership  had an  interest,  sold the  property  known as the
    Northcastle  Apartments,  located in Austin,  Texas,  to an unrelated  third
    party for  $6,100,000.  Final  approval  of the  sale,  which  involved  the
    assumption of the  outstanding  first mortgage loan secured by the property,
    was received from the  Department of Housing and Urban  Development on April
    26, 1995.  After  transaction  costs and the  assumption of the  outstanding
    first mortgage  loan, the joint venture  received net proceeds of $1,620,000
    from the sale. The Partnership's  share of such proceeds was $1,581,000,  in
    accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreement.  On June 15, 1995,
    the Partnership made a special distribution of $2,627,000,  or $90 per unit,
    to the Limited Partners which included the net proceeds from the Northcastle
    sale and certain excess Partnership reserves.

        The unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for on the equity method
    in the Partnership's  financial  statements because the Partnership does not
    have a voting control  interest in these  ventures.  Under the equity method
    the investments are carried at cost adjusted for the Partnership's  share of
    the venture's earnings,  losses and distributions.  The Partnership's policy
    is to recognize its share of ventures' operations three months in arrears.

3.  Operating Investment Property

        The  Partnership  has a controlling  interest in one joint venture,  Nob
    Hill Partners,  which owns Nob Hill Apartments, a 368-unit apartment complex
    located in San Antonio,  Texas.  As explained  further in the Annual Report,
    during fiscal 1993 the  Partnership  assumed control over the affairs of the
    joint venture as a result of the  withdrawal of the  co-venture  partner and
    the  assignment  of its  remaining  interest to First PW Growth  Properties,
    Inc., the Managing  General  Partner of the  Partnership.  Accordingly,  the
    accompanying financial statements present the financial position, results of
    operations and cash flows of this joint venture on a consolidated basis. The
    joint  venture  has a year-end  of  December  31 for both tax and  financial
    reporting purposes.  Accordingly,  the Partnership's policy is to report the
    consolidated results of the joint venture on a three-month lag.

        On October 18, 1995, the  Partnership  signed a letter of intent to sell
    the Nob Hill  Apartments  to a third  party  for $10  million.  The sale was
    subject to the  satisfactory  completion  of the buyer's due  diligence  and
    formal  approval from the U.S.  Department of Housing and Urban  Development
    (HUD) to the buyer's  assumption of the outstanding  first mortgage loan. In
    January 1996, the buyer withdrew the offer to purchase the property.  During
    the  fourth  quarter  of fiscal  1996,  efforts  to sell the  property  were
    renewed.  During the first  quarter  of fiscal  1997,  a  purchase  and sale
    agreement was signed with a new  prospective  buyer for a purchase  price of
    $10 million. This sale is also subject to the satisfactory completion of the
    buyer's due diligence and formal approval from HUD to the buyer's assumption
    of the outstanding first mortgage loan. Accordingly, there are no assurances
    that this transaction will be consummated.

4.  Related Party Transactions

        The Partnership accrues as income reimbursements due from certain of the
    joint   ventures  for  the   Partnership's   management   fees  and  certain
    out-of-pocket  expenses,  as  specified  in  the  respective  joint  venture
    agreements.  Such reimbursements  totalled $41,000 and $44,000 for the three
    months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

        Since the  Partnership  reinstated  the  payment  of  regular  quarterly
    distributions  to the Limited  Partners  effective  November 15,  1994,  the
    Adviser is entitled to earn certain asset management fees. The Adviser earns
    management  fees  equal  to  approximately  10%  of the  Distributable  Cash
    generated by the Partnership,  as defined,  subject to certain  limitations.
    Such  management  fees totalled $8,000 and $9,000 for the three months ended
    June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

        Included in general and  administrative  expenses  for the three  months
    ended  June  30,  1996  and  1995  is  $24,000  and  $25,000,  respectively,
    representing  reimbursements to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner
    for  providing  certain  financial,  accounting  and investor  communication
    services to the Partnership.

        The  Partnership  uses the services of Mitchell  Hutchins  Institutional
    Investors,  Inc.  ("Mitchell  Hutchins")  for the  managing of cash  assets.
    Mitchell  Hutchins is a subsidiary of Mitchell  Hutchins  Asset  Management,
    Inc., an independently operated subsidiary of PaineWebber. Mitchell Hutchins
    earned fees of $2,000 and $1,000  (included  in general  and  administrative
    expenses) for managing the Partnership's cash assets during the three months
    ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

5.  Mortgage Note Payable

        Mortgage  note  payable at June 30, 1996 and March 31, 1996  consists of
    the following  debt of Nob Hill  Partners,  the  Partnership's  consolidated
    joint venture (in thousands):

                                                         June 30    March 31

    7.375%   mortgage  note  payable
    secured    by   the   Nob   Hill
    operating  property.   The  fair
    value  of  the   mortgage   note
    payable     approximated     its
    carrying  value as of March  31,
    1996 and December 31, 1995.                         $6,871      $6,890
                                                        ======      ======


<PAGE>



        The above debt obligation represents a nonrecourse mortgage note payable
    to a third  party and  insured by the U.S.  Department  of Housing and Urban
    Development  (HUD). The principal and interest on the note are to be paid in
    monthly  installments of approximately  $49,000 commencing December 1, 1993,
    until  maturity on November  1, 2023.  In  addition,  the  property  submits
    monthly escrow deposits of approximately $29,000 for taxes,  insurance and a
    replacement   reserve  required  under  the  terms  of  the  HUD  regulatory
    agreement.

6.  Contingencies

         As discussed in detail in the Partnership's  Annual Report for the year
     ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership is involved in certain legal actions.
     At the present time,  the Managing  General  Partner is unable to determine
     what  impact,  if any,  the  resolution  of these  matters  may have on the
     Partnership's financial statements, taken as a whole.

                        PAINE WEBBER GROWTH PROPERTIES LP

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As discussed further in the Partnership's  Annual Report,  management began
to market the Nob Hill  Apartments  property for sale during the spring of 1995.
On October  18,  1995,  the  Partnership  signed a letter of intent with a third
party  to sell  the Nob  Hill  Apartments  for $10  million.  As part of its due
diligence process, the buyer raised certain issues regarding required repairs to
the  property  and  requested  a price  concession  to  offset  the cost of such
repairs.  During the third quarter of fiscal 1996,  the  Partnership  negotiated
with the buyer over the magnitude of the required  repairs and the amount of the
costs required to complete the repairs.  However,  no agreement could be reached
regarding  these issues and, in January  1996,  the buyer  withdrew the offer to
purchase the property. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, efforts to sell
the property were  renewed.  During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, a purchase
and sale agreement was signed with a new prospective  buyer for a purchase price
of $10  million.  The sale is  subject  to the  satisfactory  completion  of the
buyer's due  diligence and formal  approval from the U.S.  Department of Housing
and  Urban  Development  to the  buyer's  assumption  of the  outstanding  first
mortgage loan.  Accordingly,  there are no assurances that this transaction will
be consummated.  Subsequent to the quarter end, the buyer's due diligence period
was extended  through  mid-August.  While the Nob Hill property is currently 90%
occupied,  development  of a  significant  number of new  multi-family  units is
currently  underway.  Increased  competition  has begun to result in pressure to
reduce rental rates or use rent  concessions  as leasing  incentives to maintain
occupancy  levels and market share.  In addition,  despite the recent  extensive
capital  improvement  program at the property,  the  property's age will require
that ongoing capital expenditures be made to maintain the property's competitive
condition.  As a result of these  circumstances,  management  believes  that the
value of this 25-year-old, 368-unit, San Antonio, Texas apartment complex may be
at or near its peak for the current market cycle.

    The  sale of the Nob Hill  Apartments,  if  completed,  would  position  the
Partnership for a possible  liquidation  within the next 2-to-3 years.  However,
there are no assurances  that the  Partnership  could  complete the sales of the
remaining  properties under acceptable terms within this time frame.  Subsequent
to a sale of Nob Hill, the Partnership  would have ownership  interests in three
remaining  apartment  properties  located in the  markets of  Boulder,  Colorado
(Tantra Lake), greater Dallas (Chisholm Place) and Stockton,  California (Grouse
Run).  The Boulder market remains strong at the present time due to a history of
healthy  population  growth, a stable employment base and an established  public
policy to limit new apartment construction.  Despite a fairly significant amount
of new  construction  coming  on-line in the greater Dallas market during fiscal
1997, the  performance  of the Chisholm  Place  Apartments is expected to remain
strong due to the property's  larger unit sizes, its excellent  location and its
well-maintained physical appearance. Throughout fiscal 1996, the California real
estate  market,  in which the  Partnership's  Grouse Run  property  is  located,
continued to be  adversely  affected by the  condition  of the region's  economy
which,  over the past  several  years,  has  been  hit hard by the  cutbacks  in
government  defense  spending  and by the  reduced  rate of  growth  in the high
technology  industries.  Operations  at  Grouse  Run,  while  affected  by these
conditions, have remained relatively steady over this period due, in large part,
to the property's  location and attractive physical  appearance.  Management has
been able to maintain high occupancy  levels (96% for the quarter ended June 30,
1996)  by  offering  various  rental  concessions  in  recent  years.  Recently,
management  has begun to see slight  improvement  in the local  Stockton  market
conditions, reflecting the overall improvements in California's economic climate
in recent months. Management of the Partnership expects to see continued gradual
improvement in these market conditions during fiscal 1997. If this trend were to
continue,  the Partnership  may have a favorable  opportunity to sell the Grouse
Run  property  within the next  2-to-3  years.  Management's  hold  versus  sell
decisions  for its  remaining  investments  will  continue  to be based  upon an
assessment of the best expected overall returns to the Limited Partners.

    The $8.5 million first  mortgage loan secured by the Tantra Lake  Apartments
was  scheduled  to mature on July 1, 1996.  As  discussed  further in the Annual
Report,  management's  goal has been to  structure a  replacement  loan with the
flexibility  to  permit  a  future  sale of the  property  in the  event  that a
liquidation  of the  Partnership  is  pursued  over the next  2-to-3  years,  as
discussed  further above.  Subsequent to the quarter end, on August 6, 1996, the
Partnership closed on a new loan and the existing first mortgage loan was repaid
in full.  The new mortgage loan, in the principal  amount of  $8,850,000,  bears
interest at 7.68% per annum, requires interest-only payments throughout its term
and is scheduled to mature in August 2001. The terms of the new loan will reduce
Tantra  Lake's   required   annual  debt  service  by  more  than  $300,000  and
significantly improve cash flow to the Partnership. In addition, the new loan is
assumable  upon a sale and allows for  prepayment in full at any time. A penalty
tied to a yield  maintenance  calculation would be charged for any prepayment in
the  first  two years of the  term.  Thereafter,  a  penalty  equal to 1% of the
outstanding  principal  balance would be due in conjunction  with any prepayment
transaction.

      As  discussed  further in the Annual  Report,  management  had filed for a
refund of  approximately  $450,000  in costs  incurred  to secure the  necessary
building  permits which were obtained  prior to the sale of the land  underlying
the  former  Parkwoods   Apartments  from  a  federal  agency   responsible  for
administering federal aid in connection with the 1991 Oakland fire. An agreement
was reached during the second  quarter of fiscal 1996 to a release  schedule for
money  previously  funded by the  Parkwoods  joint  venture to pay for  building
permits.  The joint venture received a partial refund of such expenses totalling
approximately  $146,000  in  December  1995.  However,  the  federal  agency has
subsequently  denied  the joint  venture's  claim for a refund of the  remaining
$300,000  in costs  incurred.  Management  believes  that the joint  venture  is
entitled to a full refund of the costs  incurred  and  continues  to  vigorously
pursue the refund.  The federal  agency has granted the joint  venture a hearing
regarding  this  matter.  The hearing is  scheduled  to occur  during the second
quarter of fiscal 1997. Presently, there are no assurances that any amounts will
be recovered.

      At June 30, 1996, the Partnership and its  consolidated  joint venture had
available cash and cash equivalents of approximately  $1,079,000.  Such cash and
cash  equivalents,   along  with  future  cash  flow   distributions   from  the
Partnership's  operating properties,  will be used for the working capital needs
of the  Partnership,  for the  funding  of the  Partnership's  share of  capital
improvements or operating deficits of the investment  properties,  if necessary,
and for  distributions  to the  partners.  The  source of future  liquidity  and
distributions to the partners is expected to be through  proceeds  received from
the sales or  refinancings  of the four remaining  investment  properties.  Such
sources of  liquidity  are  expected to be  adequate to cover the  Partnership's
needs on both a short-term and long-term basis.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 1996

      The Partnership  reported net income of $18,000 for the three-month period
ended June 30, 1996, as compared to a net loss of $89,000 for the same period in
the prior year. This $107,000  favorable change in net operating  results is due
to an increase in the Partnership's share of unconsolidated  ventures' income of
$73,000  and a decrease in the  Partnership's  operating  loss of  $34,000.  The
Partnership's share of unconsolidated  ventures' income increased as a result of
increases  in net income at the Tantra  Lakes and Grouse Run joint  ventures  of
$62,000 and $12,000,  respectively.  Net income at Tantra Lakes increased mainly
due to an  increase in rental  income of $36,000.  Rental  income  increased  at
Tantra Lakes due to an increase in average  monthly  rental rates. A decrease in
depreciation  expense of $28,000  contributed  to the  increase in net income at
Tantra Lakes as well.  Net income at Grouse Run  increased by $12,000  primarily
due to a decrease  in real  estate tax  expense of  $33,000.  An increase in the
venture's  administrative  expenses of $12,000  partially offset the decrease in
real  estate  tax  expense.  The  increase  in  administrative  expenses  can be
attributed mainly to an increase in bad debt expense for the current three-month
period.

     The Partnership's  operating loss decreased by $34,000 for the three months
ended  June 30,  1996  mainly due to a decrease  in general  and  administrative
expenses  of $67,000.  General  and  administrative  expense  declined  due to a
reduction in certain required professional services. In addition,  rental income
from the consolidated Nob Hill joint venture improved by $22,000 for the current
three-month  period.  The  decrease in general and  administrative  expenses and
increase in rental income were partially offset by a decrease in interest income
of $50,000.  Interest income decreased  mainly due to a significant  decrease in
the average  outstanding  cash balance for the quarter due to the receipt of the
proceeds from the sale of the Northcastle property during the prior year.

                                     PART II
                                Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     As discussed in prior  quarterly  and annual  reports,  in November  1994 a
series of purported class actions (the "New York Limited  Partnership  Actions")
were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern  District of New
York concerning  PaineWebber  Incorporated's  sale and sponsorship of 70 limited
partnership  investments,  including  those  offered  by  the  Partnership.  The
lawsuits were brought against  PaineWebber  Incorporated  and Paine Webber Group
Inc.  (together   "PaineWebber"),   among  others,  by  allegedly   dissatisfied
partnership investors.  In March 1995, after the actions were consolidated under
the title In re  PaineWebber  Limited  Partnership  Litigation,  the  plaintiffs
amended their complaint to assert claims against a variety of other  defendants,
including First PW Growth Properties, Inc. and Properties Associates,  which are
the General  Partners of the Partnership  and affiliates of PaineWebber.  On May
30, 1995, the court certified  class action  treatment of the claims asserted in
the litigation.

      In January 1996, PaineWebber signed a memorandum of understanding with the
plaintiffs in the New York Limited Partnership Actions outlining the terms under
which the parties have agreed to settle the case. Pursuant to that memorandum of
understanding,  PaineWebber  irrevocably  deposited  $125 million into an escrow
fund under the  supervision of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York to be used to resolve the  litigation in accordance  with a
definitive  settlement  agreement  and plan of  allocation.  On July  17,  1996,
PaineWebber and the class plaintiffs submitted a definitive settlement agreement
which has been preliminarily approved by the court and provides for the complete
resolution of the class action  litigation,  including  releases in favor of the
Partnership  and the General  Partners,  and the  allocation of the $125 million
settlement  fund among  investors  in the various  partnerships  at issue in the
case.  As part of the  settlement,  PaineWebber  also  agreed to  provide  class
members with certain financial  guarantees relating to some of the partnerships.
The details of the settlement are described in a notice mailed directly to class
members at the  direction of the court.  A final  hearing on the fairness of the
proposed settlement has been scheduled for October 25, 1996.

     The  status of the  other  litigation  involving  the  Partnership  and its
General  Partners  remains  unchanged  from  the  description  provided  in  the
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1996.

     Under certain limited circumstances,  pursuant to the Partnership Agreement
and other contractual  obligations,  PaineWebber affiliates could be entitled to
indemnification  for expenses and  liabilities in connection with the litigation
discussed  above.  At the present  time,  the Managing  General  Partner  cannot
