                      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, 1998. 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  September  30, 1998 and March 31, 1998 and revenues and
expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.
Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

     The Partnership has one remaining  joint venture  investment,  the Portland
Center  Apartments  (see Note 3).  Management  of the  Partnership  is currently
pursuing a possible sale of this final asset and a potential  liquidation of the
Partnership which could be accomplished prior to the end of calendar 1998. There
are no assurances,  however, that the disposition of the Partnership's remaining
asset and a liquidation of the Partnership will be accomplished within this time
frame.

2.    Related Party Transactions
      --------------------------

      The  Adviser  earns 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 $32,000 and $29,000 for
the six-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

      Included in general and administrative expenses for each of the six months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 is $31,000  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 each of the six
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 is $1,000  representing  fees earned by
an affiliate,  Mitchell Hutchins Institutional Investors, Inc., for managing the
Partnership's cash assets.

3.    Investments in Joint Venture Partnerships
      -----------------------------------------

      As of September 30, 1998 and 1997,  the  Partnership  had 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 and
six months in arrears to that of the Partnership.

     Summarized  operating  results  of  the  joint  venture,  for  the  periods
indicated, are as follows.

      As discussed further in the Partnership's  Annual Report,  the Partnership
has been  focusing on a near-term  sale of the  Portland  Center  property and a
liquidation  of the  Partnership  since the first  quarter of fiscal  1998.  The
property has been marketed  extensively  and sale packages were  distributed  to
international,  national, regional and local prospective purchasers. As a result
of these  efforts,  the  Partnership  received  13  offers,  most of which  were
substantially  in excess of the  property's  most recent  independent  appraised
value.  The  prospective  purchasers  were then  asked to submit  best and final
offers, of which seven were received. After completing an evaluation of the best
and final offers,  the Partnership  selected an offer and, on November 25, 1997,
signed an agreement  to sell the Portland  Center  Apartments  to a  prospective
buyer.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the prospective  buyer decided
to terminate  the purchase and sale  agreement and  discontinued  its efforts to
acquire the property.  The Partnership  subsequently  re-opened discussions with
the other  prospective  purchasers who had  previously  submitted best and final
offers.  Following  negotiations,  the Partnership selected an offer from one of
these prospective  buyers and signed a purchase and sale agreement.  Because the
Partnership's  joint venture  agreement gives the co-venture  partner a right of
first  refusal to purchase the property,  this  purchase and sale  agreement was
then submitted to the partner for its review.  Under the terms of the agreement,
the partner must decide whether to agree to buy the property at the price and on
the terms offered by the  prospective  purchaser,  or to waive its first refusal
right and agree to a sale to this prospective  purchaser.  On June 12, 1998, the
co-venture  partner  notified the  Partnership  that it would be exercising  its
right to buy the property.  Under the terms of the joint venture agreement,  the
co-venturer  had an  additional  90 days to close the  transaction.  Because the
buyer  will  assume  the  existing  HUD-insured  mortgage  loan  secured  by the
property,  the sale  transaction must be approved by HUD. The buyer is currently
awaiting  receipt of the preliminary  approval from HUD for the loan assumption,
and the 90-day closing  period has been extended to  accommodate  the receipt of
this HUD consent.  While there can be no assurances  that this sale  transaction
will be completed,  management  continues to make every effort to close the sale
and complete a liquidation of the  Partnership  in calendar year 1998.  However,
given the delays experienced to date in the HUD approval process, it is possible
that the sale and  liquidation  could be  delayed  until  the first  quarter  of
calendar  1999.  Following  the  completion  of a sale  of the  Portland  Center
Apartments,  the net sale proceeds along with the  Partnership's  remaining cash
reserves  after paying  liquidation-related  expenses will be distributed to the
Limited Partners.

                      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, 1998 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
the date of this report.  The  Partnership  undertakes no obligation to publicly
update or revise  any  forward-looking  statements,  whether  as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

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

      As previously  reported,  the Partnership has been focusing on a near-term
sale of the Portland Center  Apartments,  the Partnership's  only remaining real
estate asset, which would be followed by the liquidation of the Partnership. The
property was extensively marketed during the first and second quarters of fiscal
1998  resulting in 13 offers to purchase the  property,  most of which were at a
sale price  substantially  in excess of the property's  most recent  independent
appraised value. The prospective purchasers were then asked to submit their best
and final offers which resulted in final offers from seven  prospective  buyers.
The Partnership then completed an evaluation of the seven final offers,  as well
as the relative strength of the prospective purchasers,  and selected one of the
offers.  On November  25,  1997,  the  Partnership  executed a purchase and sale
agreement with this prospective buyer. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998,
the  prospective  buyer decided to terminate the purchase and sale agreement and
discontinued its efforts to acquire the property.  The Partnership  subsequently
re-opened  discussions with the other prospective  purchasers who had previously
submitted  best  and  final  offers.  Following  negotiations,  the  Partnership
selected an offer from one of these prospective buyers and signed a purchase and
sale  agreement.  Because the  Partnership's  joint venture  agreement gives the
co-venture  partner a right of first  refusal to  purchase  the  property,  this
purchase and sale  agreement  was then  submitted to the partner for its review.
Under the terms of the  agreement,  the partner must decide  whether to agree to
buy the  property  at the  price  and on the terms  offered  by the  prospective
purchaser,  or to waive  its  first  refusal  right  and agree to a sale to this
prospective  purchaser.  On June 12, 1998, the co-venture  partner  notified the
Partnership that it would be exercising its right to buy the property. Under the
terms of the joint venture agreement,  the co-venturer had an additional 90 days
to close the transaction. Because the buyer will assume the existing HUD-insured
mortgage loan secured by the property,  the sale transaction must be approved by
HUD. The buyer is currently  awaiting  receipt of the preliminary  approval from
HUD for the loan assumption,  and the 90-day closing period has been extended to
accommodate  the receipt of this HUD consent.  While there can be no  assurances
that this sale transaction will be completed, management continues to make every
effort  to close the sale and  complete  a  liquidation  of the  Partnership  in
calendar year 1998.  However,  given the delays  experienced  to date in the HUD
approval process,  it is possible that the sale and liquidation could be delayed
until the first quarter of calendar 1999.  Following the completion of a sale of
the  Portland  Center   Apartments,   the  net  sale  proceeds  along  with  the
Partnership's remaining cash reserves after paying liquidation-related  expenses
will be distributed to the Limited Partners.

      At  September  30,  1998,  the  Partnership  had  available  cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $1,360,000.  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 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.

      As noted above,  the Partnership  expects to be liquidated  either in late
calendar  year 1998 or early  calendar  year  1999.  Notwithstanding  this,  the
Partnership  believes  that  it has  made  all  necessary  modifications  to its
existing  systems  to make them year 2000  compliant  and does not  expect  that
additional costs associated with year 2000 compliance,  if any, will be material
to the Partnership's results of operations or financial position.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 1998
- -------------------------------------

      The Partnership reported net income of $106,000 for the three months ended
September  30, 1998, as compared to net income of $25,000 for the same period in
the prior  year.  This  increase of $81,000 in the  Partnership's  net income is
mainly  attributable  to a  $79,000  increase  in  the  Partnership's  share  of
venture's income.

      The  Partnership  recognized  income  of  $105,000  from its  share of the
Portland Center joint venture's  operations for the current  three-month period,
as compared to net income of $26,000 for the same period in the prior year. This
favorable change in the Partnership's share of venture's income is mainly due to
an increase in rental  revenues of $26,000 at the Portland  Center joint venture
and a decrease of $87,000 in the venture's expenses for the current  three-month
period.  Rental revenues increased  primarily due to an increase in market rents
when compared to the same period in the prior year. Expenses decreased primarily
due to a reduction in property operating expenses of $59,000. Property operating
expenses  decreased  primarily due to lower management fees,  mortgage insurance
expense and  apartment  turnover  costs.  The  increase in rental  revenues  and
decline in  operating  expenses at Portland  Center were  partially  offset by a
decrease of $33,000 in the  venture's  interest and other income for the current
three-month period.

      The Partnership  reported  operating income of $1,000 for the three months
ended  September  30, 1998,  as compared to an operating  loss of $1,000 for the
same period in the prior year. The favorable  change in operating  income (loss)
is primarily attributable to a decrease in general and administrative  expenses.
General  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  by  $4,000  mainly  due  to a
reduction in printing and mailing costs related to the  Partnership's  quarterly
financial reports.

Six Months Ended September 30, 1998
- -----------------------------------

      The  Partnership  reported net income of $130,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1998, as compared to net income of $123,000 for the same period in
the prior year. This favorable change in net operating  results of $7,000 is the
result of an $18,000  increase in the  Partnership's  share of venture's  income
which was partially offset by an $11,000 unfavorable change in the Partnership's
operating income (loss).

      The  Partnership  recognized  income  of  $132,000  from its  share of the
Portland Center joint venture's  operations for the current six-month period, as
compared to net income of $114,000  for the same period in the prior year.  This
favorable change in the  Partnership's  share of venture's income is primarily a
result of a $195,000 decrease in property operating expenses. Property operating
expenses  declined  mainly  due to a  reduction  in  management  fees,  mortgage
insurance expense and advertising costs. In addition, interest expense decreased
by $44,000  due to  principal  payments  on the  venture's  mortgage  debt.  The
declines in interest and property  operating expenses were partially offset by a
decrease in rental  revenues and expense  recoveries of $168,000 for the current
six-month period. Rental revenues and expense recoveries decreased mainly due to
a decrease in average  occupancy  compared to the same period in the prior year.
In addition, the venture's interest and other income declined by $54,000 for the
current six-month period.

      The Partnership  recognized an operating loss of $2,000 for the six months
ended  September 30, 1998,  compared to operating  income of $9,000 for the same
period in the prior  year.  This  unfavorable  change  was  primarily  due to an
increase  in general and  administrative  expenses.  General and  administrative
expenses  increased by $14,000 for the current six-month period mainly due to an
increase in certain  required  professional  fees related to the pending sale of
the  Portland  Center  property.  This  increase in general  and  administrative
expenses was partially offset by an increase  interest  income.  Interest income
increased by $5,000  primarily due to higher  average  outstanding  cash reserve
balances during the current six-month period.
