                      PAINE WEBBER GROWTH PROPERTIES TWO LP
                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1.   General

       The accompanying  financial statements,  footnotes and discussions should
    be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained
    in the Partnership's Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 1996.

       In the opinion of  management,  the  accompanying  financial  statements,
    which have not been audited,  reflect all  adjustments  necessary to present
    fairly the results for the interim period. All of the accounting adjustments
    reflected in the accompanying  interim financial  statements are of a normal
    recurring nature.

2.  Related Party Transactions

       Included in general and  administrative  expenses  for three months ended
    June 30, 1996 and 1995 is $17,000 and  $18,000,  respectively,  representing
    reimbursements to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner for providing
    certain  financial,  accounting and investor  communication  services to the
    Partnership.

       Also included in general and administrative expenses for the three months
    ended June 30, 1996 is $5,000  representing fees earned by Mitchell Hutchins
    Institutional Investors, Inc. for managing the Partnership's cash assets.

       As a  result  of the  commencement  of  regular  quarterly  distributions
    effective for the second quarter of fiscal 1995, the Adviser began earning a
    management fee equal to approximately 10% of the  Distributable  Cash of the
    Partnership,  as defined,  pursuant to the advisory  agreement.  The Adviser
    earned  management  fees totalling  $19,000 and $16,000 for the  three-month
    periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

3.  Investments in Joint Venture Partnerships

      The Partnership has an investment in one joint venture partnership at June
    30, 1996 which owns an  operating  property as more fully  described  in the
    Partnership's   Annual  Report.  At  June  30,  1995,  the  Partnership  had
    investments  in three joint ventures which owned  operating  properties.  As
    discussed  further below,  during fiscal 1996 two of these  investments were
    sold.  The joint  ventures  are  accounted  for by using the  equity  method
    because  the  Partnership  does not have a voting  control  interest  in the
    ventures.  Under the equity  method,  the  investments  are  carried at cost
    adjusted for the  Partnership's  share of the ventures'  earnings and losses
    and distributions. For income tax reporting purposes, the joint ventures are
    required to maintain their accounting records on a calendar year basis. As a
    result, the joint ventures are accounted for based on financial  information
    which is three months in arrears to that of the Partnership. As discussed in
    the Annual Report,  on September 12, 1995 the Partnership  sold its interest
    in the  Hudson  Apartments  joint  venture  to its  co-venture  partner  for
    $350,000.  As of March 31, 1995, the Partnership's  investment in the Hudson
    joint venture had been  reclassified to investment held for sale and written
    down to its net realizable  value of $350,000.  Subsequent to the writedown,
    the Partnership  accounted for this investment on the cost method during the
    period of time in fiscal 1996 which it took for the sale  transaction  to be
    completed.  Also, on March 13, 1996 the joint venture which owned the Walker
    House  Apartments  sold the  operating  investment  property to an unrelated
    third party for $10,650,000.  The Partnership  received net proceeds of $5.3
    million from the sale of the Walker House Apartments after deducting closing
    costs,  the  repayment  of the  outstanding  first  mortgage  loan  and  the
    co-venture partner's share of the proceeds.  Due to the Partnership's policy
    of accounting for significant lag-period transactions in the period in which
    they occur,  the gain on this  transaction  was  recognized  in fiscal 1996.
    Accordingly,  in  addition to the  operations  for the twelve  months  ended
    December 31, 1995,  the  Partnership's  share of ventures'  losses in fiscal
    1996 also reflected the  Partnership's  share of Walker House operations for
    the period  January 1, 1996  through the date of sale.  Such  operations  in
    calendar 1996  reflected  total  revenues of $360,000 and total  expenses of
    $414,000  for a net loss of $54,000,  of which the  Partnership's  share was
    $53,000.


<PAGE>


    Summarized  operating  results  of  the  joint  ventures,  for  the  periods
    indicated,  are as follows. The operating results for the three months ended
    March 31, 1995 include the operations of the Walker House joint venture.

4.  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 TWO LP

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      As discussed  in the Annual  Report,  on March 13, 1996 the joint  venture
which owned the Walker House Apartments sold the operating  investment  property
to an unrelated third party for  $10,650,000.  The existing  mortgage balance of
$5,011,000  was paid off in  conjunction  with the sale,  and the  venture  paid
closing  costs of  approximately  $364,000.  In addition,  the joint venture had
excess cash as of the date of the sale in the amount of approximately  $235,000.
The net proceeds  available after the sale  transaction  totalled  approximately
$5.5 million, of which the co-venture partner was entitled to $220,000 under the
terms of the amended  joint  venture  agreement.  The  Partnership  received the
remainder  of  the  net  sale  proceeds  of  approximately  $5.3  million.   The
Partnership's  share of the net proceeds was distributed to the Limited Partners
as a special distribution in the amount of approximately $5,312,000, or $159 per
original  $1,000  investment,  paid  concurrently  with  the  regular  quarterly
distribution  on May 15, 1996.  Also as discussed  further in the Annual Report,
during the first  quarter of fiscal 1996 the  Partnership  agreed to the sale of
its  interest  in  the  Hudson  Apartments,  located  in  Tyler,  Texas,  to its
co-venture partner. On September 12, 1995, the Partnership completed the sale of
its  joint  venture  interest  in  the  Hudson  Apartments  for  $350,000.   The
Partnership made a special distribution to the Limited Partners of approximately
$768,000,  or $23  per  original  $1,000  Unit,  on  November  15,  1995,  which
represented the Hudson sale proceeds plus an amount of cash reserves that was in
excess of the Partnership's expected future requirements.

      The sales of the Walker  House  Apartments  and the Hudson  joint  venture
interest  leave the  Partnership  with one remaining real estate  investment,  a
majority  interest  in the  Portland  Center  Apartments.  Portland  Center is a
525-unit high-rise  apartment building located in Portland,  Oregon,  which also
contains 28,000 square feet of leasable  commercial space. The investment in the
Portland  Center  joint  venture  comprised  41% of the  Partnership's  original
investment portfolio. As previously reported,  management continues to be in the
process of using the excess cash reserves from the December 1993 Portland Center
HUD loan  refinancing  to complete a major  renovation  program at the property,
which  includes  upgrades to the common  areas and many  individual  units.  The
property's  individual  apartment  units are being upgraded on a turnover basis.
Management expects to be able to lease the renovated units at substantial rental
rate increases. Fewer than half of the property's total units have been upgraded
to date,  and rental rate  increases  averaging  10% have been achieved on these
units.  The venture has over $2 million  remaining  in the  replacement  reserve
escrow to cover the costs of completing the planned  renovation  program,  which
will continue throughout calendar 1996.

      The implementation of the planned capital  improvements at Portland Center
is expected to support  management's  ability to increase rents and add value to
the property.  Accordingly,  management will likely not consider the sale of the
Portland  Center  property  in  the  near  term,  at  least  until  the  capital
improvement   program  is  substantially   completed  and  the  effects  of  the
improvements  are fully  reflected in the asking rents for the apartment  units.
The mortgage debt obtained by the Portland Center joint venture in December 1993
contained a five-year prohibition on prepayment. Beginning in December 1998, the
loan  becomes  prepayable  with a prepayment  penalty  which begins at 5% of the
outstanding  principal  balance and  declines by 1% annually  over the next five
years.  While the loan  cannot be prepaid  prior to December  1998,  it could be
assumed  by a buyer  of the  property  for a 1%  fee,  subject  to the  lender's
approval. As noted above, management has no current plans to market the Portland
Center property for sale as a result of the ongoing renovation program. However,
if the  renovation  program is completed and the rental rate increases are fully
implemented  prior to the end of the debt  prepayment  restriction  period,  the
requirement  that  a  buyer  would  have  to  assume  the  outstanding  mortgage
obligation could limit  management's  ability to effectively market the property
for sale prior to  December  1998.  Nonetheless,  the sales of the Walker  House
Apartments  and the  Partnership's  interest in the Hudson  joint  venture  have
positioned the Partnership for a possible  liquidation  within the next 2- to- 3
years.  However,  there are no assurances that the  Partnership  will be able to
successfully  sell its remaining  investment under favorable  conditions  within
this time frame.  Management's  hold versus sell  decisions  with respect to the
investment  in Portland  Center will be based on an  assessment of the impact on
the overall returns to the Limited Partners.

     The  Partnership  received  distributions  from the  Portland  Center joint
venture totalling  approximately $973,000 during fiscal 1996. Improved cash flow
from operations is expected to be generated by the Portland Center joint venture
in fiscal 1997 as the capital improvement  program continues.  At June 30, 1996,
the  Partnership  had  available  cash and  cash  equivalents  of  approximately
$924,000. Such cash and cash equivalents, along with the expected operating cash
flow from the Portland Center property, will be utilized for the working capital
needs of the Partnership and for distributions to the partners. These sources of
liquidity  are expected to be sufficient  to meet the  Partnership's  needs on a
short-term and long-term basis. Cash flow from Portland Center is expected to be
sufficient to cover the Partnership's  operating expenses and permit the payment
of quarterly  distributions  at a rate of 4.25% per annum on the $373  remaining
portion of a Limited Partner's original $1,000 investment.  The source of future
liquidity and  distributions  to the partners is expected to be through proceeds
received from the sale or refinancing of the remaining investment property.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 1996

      For the three  months ended June 30, 1996,  the  Partnership  reported net
income of  $46,000,  as compared to a net loss of $86,000 for the same period in
the  prior  year.  The  primary   reason  for  this  favorable   change  in  the
Partnership's  net operating  results for the current  three-month  period is an
improvement of $81,000 in the  Partnership's  share of the net operating results
of the joint ventures. In addition, the Partnership's operating income increased
by $40,000 over the same period in the prior year.

      The  Partnership  recognized  net  income  of  $1,000  from  its  share of
ventures'  operations for the three months ended June 30,1996,  as compared to a
net loss of $80,000 for the same period in the prior year. This favorable change
is mainly  due to an  increase  in net income  from the  Portland  Center  joint
venture as a result of an increase in rental income. Rental income increased due
to both an increase in rental  rates and an increase in average  occupancy  when
compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in rental income was
partially  offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization as a result of
the venture's ongoing capital  improvement  program, as discussed further above.
In  addition,  the effect of the  increase in net income at Portland  Center was
partially  offset by the inclusion of $68,000 in net income  attributable to the
Walker House joint  venture in the prior year's  results.  As discussed  further
above,  the Walker House joint  venture sold its operating  property  during the
fourth  quarter of fiscal  1996,  and, as a result,  the  Partnership  no longer
records operating results from this investment.

     The Partnership's  operating income improved in the first quarter of fiscal
1997,  when  compared  to the same  period in the prior  year,  mainly due to an
increase in interest income.  Interest income increased by $60,000 due to higher
outstanding  cash  reserve  balances  in the  current  period as a result of the
temporary investment of the Walker House sale proceeds prior to the May 15, 1996
special distribution.  The increase in interest income was partially offset by a
$14,000  increase in general and  administrative  expenses  for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.

                                     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 Second 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
estimate  the impact,  if any, of the  potential  indemnification  claims on the
Partnership's financial statements,  taken as a whole. Accordingly, no provision
for any liability which could result from the eventual  outcome of these matters
has been made in the accompanying financial statements of the Partnership.

Item 2. through 5.   NONE

Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

(a)  Exhibits:       NONE

(b)  Reports on Form 8-K:

     No Current Reports on Form 8-K were filed during the period covered by this
report.
