                      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, 1997.  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.

      The  accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared on the accrual
   basis  of  accounting  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted   accounting
   principles  which requires  management to make estimates and assumptions that
   affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and  disclosures  of
   contingent  assets and liabilities as of June 30, 1997 and March 31, 1997 and
   revenues  and expenses for the  three-month  periods  ended June 30, 1997 and
   1996. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

2.  Investments in Joint Venture Partnerships

        As of June 30, 1997 and 1996, the  Partnership  has an investment in one
    joint  venture  partnership  which owns an operating  property as more fully
    described in the Partnership's Annual Report. The remaining joint venture is
    Oregon Portland Associates, which owns Portland Center, a 525-unit high-rise
    apartment property,  located in Portland, Oregon, which also contains 28,000
    square feet of commercial space. The joint venture is accounted for by using
    the equity method  because the  Partnership  does not have a voting  control
    interest in the venture.  Under the equity method, the investment is carried
    at cost adjusted for the Partnership's  share of the venture's  earnings and
    losses  and  distributions.  For income tax  reporting  purposes,  the joint
    venture is required to maintain its  accounting  records on a calendar  year
    basis.  As a result,  the joint  venture is accounted for based on financial
    information which is three months in arrears to that of the Partnership.

        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. 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. An additional  special
    distribution  of  approximately  $350,000,  or $10.48  per  original  $1,000
    investment was made on December 13, 1996 in connection with the Walker House
    transaction.  Because the sale of the Walker House  Apartments was a taxable
    transaction  in the state of Maryland,  the  Partnership  withheld  Maryland
    state income tax equal to the amount of this special  distribution on behalf
    of most Limited Partners, as required by state law.

    indicated, are as follows.

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


Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------------------------------

      The following  discussion of financial condition includes  forward-looking
statements  which  reflect  management's  current  views with  respect to future
events and  financial  performance  of the  Partnership.  These  forward-looking
statements  are  subject to certain  risks and  uncertainties,  including  those
identified  in Item 7 of the  Partnership's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended March 31, 1997 under the heading  "Certain  Factors  Affecting Future
Operating  Results",  which could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical  results  or  those  anticipated.  The  words  "believe",   "expect",
"anticipate,"  and  similar  expressions  identify  forward-looking  statements.
Readers  are  cautioned  not to place undue  reliance  on these  forward-looking
statements,  which were made based on facts and conditions as they existed as of

information, future events or otherwise.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The occupancy level at the Portland Center Apartments in Portland,  Oregon,
averaged  94% for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1997,  unchanged  from the prior
quarter.  The property continues to generate  excellent results,  including high
occupancy  levels and  escalating  rental rates.  The demand for rental units in
Portland's downtown market is high and is being fueled by solid economic growth,
as well as physical and political constraints that have limited the construction
of new apartments in the downtown area. As a result of these constraints,  there
are no new apartment  properties in the  immediate  vicinity of Portland  Center
currently under development or being added to the market.  While the Partnership
continues to be optimistic about the near-term prospects for Portland Center and
the downtown Portland apartment market,  management  believes that it may be the
appropriate time to sell the property. There appears to be growing interest from
institutional  and local buyers for well-located,  quality apartment  properties
like Portland Center. As a result, management has decided to market the property
for sale and formal  marketing  efforts are  currently  underway.  Management is
currently focusing on completing a potential near-term sale of this property and
the possible  liquidation of the Partnership  prior to March 31, 1998. There are
no assurances,  however,  that both a sale of the remaining  investment property
and the liquidation of the Partnership will be completed within this time frame.
If  completed,  the  Partnership's  share of the net  proceeds  from the sale of
Portland  Center,  along with the remaining  Partnership cash reserves after the
payment of all liquidation-related expenses, would be distributed to the Limited
Partners  prior to the  liquidation  of the  Partnership.  The investment in the
Portland  Center  joint  venture  comprised  41% of the  Partnership's  original
investment portfolio. 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 occupancy level in the commercial space at Portland Center
increased  to 100% as of June 30, 1997.  This  increase is the result of signing
four new leases  totalling  2,400  square feet and  converting  a portion of the
formerly vacant  commercial  space into a new fitness and activity  facility for
residents. The fitness/activity center, which opened in May, includes a kitchen,
big screen television, pool table and new exercise equipment. In addition to the
fitness/activity facility, other capital projects that were completed during the
first  quarter  included  upgrades for 21 apartment  units,  renovations  to the
lobbies in all three residential buildings,  exterior paint and power-washing as
needed, new interiors for the elevators,  and mulch for the plantings around the
property. The enhancements planned for next quarter include seal coating for the
deck of one building and sidewalk repairs throughout the property. As previously
reported,  management  continues  to be in the  process of using the excess cash
reserves from the December 1993 Portland  Center loan  refinancing to complete a
major renovation program at the property,  which includes upgrades to the common
areas and many individual  apartment units.  The property's  apartment units are
being upgraded on a turnover basis.  To date,  management has been able to lease
the  renovated   units  at   substantial   rental  rate   increases,   averaging
approximately  10%  above  the  rental  rate  prior  to  the  renovations.   The
implementation  of the planned capital  improvements at Portland  Center,  which
will continue  throughout  calendar  1997,  is expected to support  management's
ability to increase  rents and add value to the property  while the sale efforts
are in process.  As a result of improvement in the net cash flow of the Portland
Center joint venture,  the Partnership has increased its quarterly  distribution
rate from 4.25% to 5% per annum on a Limited Partner's remaining capital account
of $362.52 per original $1,000 Unit. The distribution increase will be effective
for the  payment to be made on August 15,  1997 for the  quarter  ended June 30,
1997.

      The  mortgage  debt  obtained  by the  Portland  Center  joint  venture in
December 1993 contains a five-year  prohibition on prepayment.  The loan becomes
prepayable  beginning in December 1998 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 fee,  subject to approval by
the  lender and the U.S.  Department  of Housing  and Urban  Development,  which
insured the mortgage loan. 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 because of the reserve and
reporting requirements associated with a HUD loan. However, the loan does have a
favorable interest rate of 7.125% per annum and does not mature until January 1,
2029. As a result,  in light of the current  strength of the market  conditions,
management  believes that proceeding with the marketing  efforts for the sale of
the  property  is in the  Partnership's  best  interest.  Under the terms of the
Portland  Center  joint  venture   agreement,   both  the  Partnership  and  the
co-venturer  have  certain  first  refusal  rights with respect to a sale of the
property. The Partnership would expect to recognize a sizable gain for financial
reporting purposes upon the sale of the Portland Center property.

     At June 30, 1997, the Partnership  had available cash and cash  equivalents
of  approximately  $712,000.  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.  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.  These  sources of liquidity are expected to be
sufficient to meet the  Partnership's  needs on both a short-term  and long-term
basis. 

Results of Operations 
Three Months Ended June 30, 1997
- --------------------------------

     The Partnership  reported net income of $103,000 for the three months ended
June 30,  1997,  as compared to net income of $46,000 for the same period in the
prior year.  This increase in net income of $57,000 is the result of an increase
of $88,000 in the Partnership's  share of venture's income,  which was partially
offset by a decrease in the Partnership's operating income of $31,000.

     The  Partnership  recognized  net income of  $89,000  from its share of the
Portland Center joint venture's  operations for the current  three-month period,
as compared to $1,000 for the same  period in the prior year.  This  increase of
$88,000 in the Partnership's  share of venture's income is primarily a result of
a decrease in expenses at the  Portland  Center  joint  venture.  The  venture's
interest  expense  declined by $29,000 for the  current  three-month  period and
depreciation  expense  decreased by $62,000.  An increase in rental revenues was
almost  entirely  offset by a  reduction  in the  venture's  interest  and other
income.

     The Partnership's  operating income decreased primarily due to a decline in
interest  income.  Interest income  decreased by $63,000  primarily due to lower
outstanding  cash  reserve  balances.  The  prior  period  results  reflect  the
temporary  investment  of the Walker House sale  proceeds  prior to the May 1996
distribution to the Limited Partners, as discussed further in the Annual Report.
This decrease in interest income was partially  offset by a reduction in general
and  administrative  expenses  and a decrease in  management  fees.  General and
administrative  expenses  decreased  by  $26,000  mainly due to a  reduction  in
certain  required  professional  fees  during the  current  three-month  period.
Management  fees  declined  by $6,000  due to a  reduction  in the amount of the
Partnership's  operating  cash flow  distributions  subsequent  to the return of
capital from the Walker House sale.
