ITEM 1.    BUSINESS.
- -------    ---------

       PaineWebber R&D Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership" or "Registrant"),  is a
Delaware limited  partnership  that commenced  operations on March 6, 1986. PWDC
Holding   Company  (the   "Manager")  is  the  general  partner  of  PaineWebber
Technologies,  L.P. (the "General Partner"), which is the general partner of the
Partnership.  PWDC Holding Company is a wholly owned  subsidiary of Paine Webber
Development  Corporation  ("PWDC"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Paine
Webber Group Inc.  ("PWG").  The principal  objective of the  Partnership was to
provide  long-term  capital  appreciation to investors  through investing in the
development  and   commercialization  of  new  products  (the  "Projects")  with
technology  companies,   which  were  expected  to  address  significant  market
opportunities.  The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 1998,  unless its
term is extended or reduced by the General Partner.

       On November 14, 1994, the General Partner  commenced with the dissolution
of the  Partnership's  assets.  The General Partner does not intend to terminate
the Partnership until a lawsuit with Centocor,  Inc. ("Centocor") has been fully
resolved. On July 12, 1995, the Partnership commenced an action against Centocor
in the Supreme Court of New York arising from certain agreements entered into by
Centocor  and Eli Lilly & Company  ("Lilly")  in July  1992.  The  Partnership's
complaint seeks damages,  interest and expenses.  There is no assurance that the
Partnership's claim will be successful.  See Item 3, Legal Proceedings - "Action
Against  Centocor,  Inc.", for a discussion on the current status of the action.
On April 1, 1995, the  Partnership  distributed  its  contingent  payment rights
("CPR")  due from Amgen Inc.  ("Amgen")  through  the year 2005 from the sale of
Neupogen(R) to its General Partner and limited partners (the "Limited Partners,"
together with the General Partner, the "Partners"), but continued to receive CPR
payments  on account  of, and for payment  to, the  Partners.  In 1996,  a third
party, not affiliated with the Partnership, initiated a tender offer for the CPR
at a price  of $420  per  CPR.  As of  March  1,  1997,  holders  of  9,154  CPR
(representing approximately 24.2% of the total CPR) tendered their CPR interests
to such third party.  In December 1996, the Partnership and Amgen entered into a
Consent  Agreement  permitting  PWDC to assume the  ongoing  responsibility  for
receiving  the  CPR  payments  and  making  the  corresponding  payments  to the
Partners.  At December 31, 1996, the Partnership's  assets consisted of cash and
royalty income receivable.  During 1996, the Partnership  was not engaged in any
Projects, nor will it do so in the future.

       At a meeting of the Board of Directors  of PWDC (the  "Board") in January
1997, the Board adopted the Policy Regarding Requests for Partner Lists attached
as Exhibit B.

PARTNERSHIP MANAGEMENT

       The Partnership has contracted with the Manager, pursuant to a management
agreement  (the  "Management  Contract"),   responsibility  for  management  and
administrative  services  necessary  for the operation  and  dissolution  of the
Partnership.  Under the Management Contract, the Manager was entitled to receive
an annual management fee for management and administrative  services provided to
the  Partnership.  As of January 1, 1994,  the  Manager  elected to  discontinue
charging a management fee to the Partnership.

DISTRIBUTIONS

       All distributions to the Partners from the Partnership have been made pro
rata  in  accordance  with  their  respective  net  capital  contributions.  The
following table sets forth the proportion of each distribution to be received by
Limited Partners and the General Partner, respectively:

       As of December  31,  1996,  the  Partnership  has made cash and  security
distributions,  as valued on the date of  distribution,  since inception of $889
and $593 per Unit,  respectively.  The cash and  security  distributions  do not
include distributions made in connection with the CPR since April 1995.


OTHER
       At December  31, 1996,  the  Partnership  and the General  Partner had no
employees, and PWDC Holding Company, the general partner of the General Partner,
had no employees other than its executive  officers (see Item 10.  Directors and
Executive Officers of the Registrant). The Partnership is in dissolution and was
engaged in one primary  business  segment,  the  management  of  investments  in
technology products and companies.


ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
- -------    ------------------

IN RE: PAINEWEBBER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP LITIGATION
- -------------------------------------------------
       As previously disclosed on the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995,  PaineWebber  Technologies,  L.P., the General Partner of the
Partnership,  was  named  as a  defendant  in a  class  action  lawsuit  against
PaineWebber  Incorporated  ("PWI")  and a number of its  affiliates  relating to
PWI's  sale  of 70  direct  investment  offerings,  including  the  offering  of
interests  in the  Partnership.  In January  1996,  PWI signed a  memorandum  of
understanding  with the plaintiffs in the class action outlining the terms under
which the parties agreed to settle the case. A definitive  settlement  agreement
and plan of  allocation  was  signed in July 1996 and  submitted  to the  United
States  District  Court for the Southern  District of New York (the "Court") for
its approval.  Under that  settlement,  PWI agreed to pay the class $125 million
(which  had  previously  been  deposited  in  escrow  with  the  Court  when the
memorandum of understanding  was signed) and certain  additional  consideration.
The  additional  consideration  included  the  assignment  of  fees  and  income
attributable to the general  partnership  interest in the Partnership as well as
guarantees of certain minimum returns to class members. In March 1997, the Court
approved the settlement as fair and reasonable.

      In February 1996,  approximately  150 plaintiffs  filed an action entitled
ABBATE V. PAINEWEBBER INC. in Sacramento,  California Superior Court against PWI
and  various  affiliated   entities,   including  the  General  Partner  of  the
Partnership, concerning the plaintiffs' purchases of various limited partnership
interests.  The complaint alleges,  among other things, that PWI and its related
entities  committed fraud and  misrepresentation  and breached  fiduciary duties
allegedly  owed to the  plaintiffs by selling or promoting  limited  partnership
investments  that were  unsuitable for the  plaintiffs  and by  overstating  the
benefits,  understating the risks and failing to state material facts concerning
the investments. The complaint seeks


<PAGE>


ITEM 3 (CONTINUED)


compensatory  damages  of $15  million  plus  punitive  damages.  In June  1996,
additional  complaints  similar  to  the  ABBATE  action,  but  involving  fewer
plaintiffs,  were filed in Sacramento, San Diego and Arizona. In September 1996,
the California Superior Court dismissed many of the ABBATE plaintiffs' claims as
barred by the applicable statutes of limitation. Certain of the other complaints
were also dismissed with prejudice while others remained pending. In March 1997,
all  of  these  actions  were settled.  The  settlement  had  no  effect  on the
Partnership or the General Partner.


ACTION AGAINST CENTOCOR, INC.
- -----------------------------

      In July 1995, the Partnership  commenced an action in the Supreme Court of
the State of New York  against  Centocor  arising  out of  Centocor's  July 1992
transaction  with Lilly. In April 1996, the court granted  Centocor's  motion to
dismiss  the  action on the  grounds  that New York was an  inconvenient  forum.
Accordingly, the Partnership refiled its claims in Delaware Superior Court.

      In  1986,  the  Partnership  and  others  purchased  limited   partnership
interests in Centocor Partners II, L.P. ("CP II"), a limited  partnership formed
to develop and sell Centoxin,  a Centocor  drug. On February 21, 1992,  Centocor
exercised its option to purchase all of the limited partnership  interests in CP
II, including those held by the  Partnership.  The purchase  agreement  provided
that  Centocor  would  thereafter  pay to the  former  limited  partners  50% of
Centocor's  revenues  from the licensing or  sublicensing  of Centoxin and 8% of
Centocor's  revenues from Centoxin  sales,  with such payments to be made on the
last business day of the calendar quarter in which they were earned.

      In July 1992, Centocor entered into a set of agreements with Lilly for the
stated purposes of Lilly making an equity  investment in Centocor and furthering
the testing and eventual distribution of Centoxin. Pursuant to those agreements,
Lilly paid  Centocor a total of $100  million,  and Centocor  conveyed to Lilly,
among other  things,  two million  shares of Centocor  common  stock,  exclusive
marketing rights to Centoxin and an option to acquire exclusive marketing rights
to CentoRx (now ReoPro), another Centocor drug.

      The Partnership's  complaint alleges, among other things, that part of the
$100 million paid by Lilly constitutes  revenues to Centocor from the licensing,
sublicensing  and/or sale of Centoxin,  and that  Centocor is obligated to pay a
percentage of that part to the former limited  partners of CP II,  including the
Partnership.  The  Partnership is seeking to proceed on behalf of itself and all
other former limited partners of CP II whose interests were acquired by Centocor
in February  1992 (the  "Class").  The  complaint  seeks  damages,  interest and
expenses. Centocor has taken the positions that: it is not obligated to make any
further payments to former limited partners of CP II, and the Partnership is not
a proper Class  representative.  This action is presently scheduled for trial in
November 1997.

      In February  1996,  another  former  limited  partner of CP II commenced a
purported class action in the Court of Common Pleas of the State of Pennsylvania
against  Centocor  and  Lilly.  The claims in that  action are  similar to those
asserted in the Partnership's complaint.

      PWDC has been advancing,  and may continue to advance, the funds necessary
to pay the Partnership's legal fees and expenses relating to this action. In the
event of a recovery  on behalf of the Class,  the court may award legal fees and
expenses to the  Partnership's  counsel,  to be paid out of the recovery.  It is
anticipated  that:  the net proceeds of any recovery will be  distributed to the
members  of the Class,  including  the  Partnership,  on a pro rata  basis;  the
Partnership   and/or  its  counsel  will  reimburse   PWDC;  and  any  remaining
Partnership proceeds will be distributed to the Partners of the Partnership on a
pro rata basis.

ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
- -------   ----------------------------------------------------------------------

       There is no existing  public market for the Units,  and no such market is
expected to develop.  Effective February 1995, the General Partner  discontinued
the right of Limited  Partners to transfer Units,  except for transfers that may
occur as a result of the laws of descent and  distribution  or by  operation  of
law.  Effective February 1997, the General Partner has lifted the restriction on
Unit  transferability.  As of  December  31,  1996,  there  were  6,929  limited
partners.

       The  Partnership  distributed to its Partners,  when  available,  the net
proceeds,  if any, from royalty  distributions,  interest  payments on portfolio
securities, net proceeds from dispositions of portfolio securities and any other
cash in excess of amounts that were necessary for the operation and  dissolution
of the Partnership.  The Partnership made no cash or security  distributions for
the year ended  December  31,  1996.  For the years ended  December 31, 1995 and
1994,  the  Partnership  distributed to its Partners  $2,481,752  ($65 per Unit;
$24,818 to the general  partnership  interest)  and  $6,185,290  ($162 per Unit;
$61,853 to the general partnership interest), respectively.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
- ----------------------

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       Partners' capital approximated $90,000 at December 31, 1995 compared to a
deficit  of  approximately  $14,000 at  December  31,  1996.  The  reduction  in
partners' capital (deficit) was a result of a net loss of $125,000 (as discussed
in Results of Operations below) offset by a capital  contribution of $21,000. In
March 1996, the General Partner  restored its deficit capital account balance as
of  December  31,  1995,  to  appropriately  reflect  a  1%  investment  in  the
Partnership.

       Liquid  assets at December 31, 1996 were $22,000  compared to $180,000 at
December  31,  1995.  The  decrease is  primarily  due to payment of general and
administrative  expenses  offset by the  General  Partner  contribution.  In the
furure,  the General Partner does not anticipate earning sufficient cash flow to
meet working  capital  requirements.  Therefore,  the General  Partner will make
capital  contributions to the Partnership to fund working capital deficits until
such time as the Partnership is terminated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Year ended December 31, 1996 compared to the year ended December 31, 1995:
      --------------------------------------------------------------------------


      For the year ended  December  31, 1996  the  Partnership  recognized a net
loss of $0.1  million as  compared  to net income of $0.9  million  for the year
ended December 31, 1995.  The decrease of $1.0 million  resulted from a decrease
in income from product development projects of $1.1 million offset by a decrease
in expenses of $0.1 million. In 1995, income from product  development  projects
of $1.1 million  consisted  primarily of income received from Amgen with respect
to the CPR. On April 1, 1995,  the  Partnership  distributed to its Partners the
CPR,  which  constituted  rights  to  receive  future  income  from  Amgen.  The
Partnership  received its final CPR payment in 1995  attributable to the quarter
ended March 31, 1995. The decrease in expenses from $0.2 million in 1995 to $0.1
million in 1996 is  reflective  of the  decreased  activity  of the  Partnership
resulting from its plan of dissolution.



<PAGE>



(ITEM 7 CONTINUED)

      Year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the year ended December 31, 1994:
      --------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Net  income for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $0.9 million compared
to net income of $4.3  million for the year ended  December 31, 1994, a decrease
of $3.4 million resulting from the dissolution of the Partnership  including the
satisfaction of Partnership liabilities.

      Revenues for  the year ended December 31, 1995 were $1.1 million  compared
to $4.6  million for the same period in 1994.  Revenues  consisted  primarily of
income accrued or received from Amgen with respect to the CPR. In 1995, revenues
from Amgen  decreased by $3.9 million from 1994.  Effective  April 1, 1995,  the
Partnership distributed to its Partners the CPR, which constituted the rights to
receive future income from Amgen. The Partnership received its final CPR payment
in June 1995 attributable to the first quarter of 1995. In 1994, the Partnership
recognized a loss of $0.4 million  resulting from the exchange of its investment
in DAVID Systems, Inc. ("DSI") pursuant to the terms of a merger between DSI and
Chipcom  Corporation.  Expenses for the Partnership  consisted solely of general
and administrative costs of $0.3 million for 1995 and 1994.

Report of Independent Auditors


To the Partners of PaineWebber R&D Partners, L.P.

We have  audited the  accompanying  statements  of  financial  condition of
PaineWebber R&D Partners, L.P. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of operations, changes in partners' capital (deficit), and cash flows
for each of the  three  years in the  period  ended  December  31,  1996.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of PaineWebber R&D Partners,  L.P.
at December 31, 1996 and 1995,  and the results of its  operations  and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period  ended  December  31,  1996,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.     ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

       PaineWebber R&D Partners,  L.P. (the "Partnership") is a Delaware limited
partnership  that  commenced  operations  on March 6, 1986 with a total of $62.1
million available for investment. PWDC Holding Company is the general partner of
PaineWebber  Technologies,  L.P. (the "General  Partner"),  which is the general
partner of the Partnership. PWDC Holding Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Paine  Webber  Development  Corporation  ("PWDC"),  an  indirect,  wholly  owned
subsidiary of Paine Webber Group Inc. The Partnership will terminate on December
31, 1998 unless its term is  extended  or reduced by the  General  Partner.  The
principal  objective  of  the  Partnership  was  to  provide  long-term  capital
appreciation   to   investors   through   investing  in  the   development   and
commercialization   of  new  products  with   technology   companies   ("Sponsor
Companies"), which were expected to address significant market opportunities.

       The  General   Partner  has  commenced   with  the   dissolution  of  the
Partnership's  assets but does not intend to terminate the  Partnership  until a
lawsuit with Centocor,  Inc.  ("Centocor") has been fully resolved (see Note 6).
On April 1, 1995, the  Partnership  distributed  its  contingent  payment rights
("CPR")  due from Amgen Inc.  ("Amgen")  through  the year 2005 from the sale of
Neupogen(R) to its General Partner and limited partners (the "Limited Partners",
together with the General Partner, the "Partners"), but continued to receive CPR
payments on account of, and for payment to, the Partners.  Such  continuing  CPR
payments are no longer available to pay expenses of the Partnership. In December
1996, the Partnership and Amgen entered into a Consent Agreement permitting PWDC
to assume the ongoing  responsibility  for receiving the CPR payments and making
the corresponding payments to the Partners.

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       The  financial  statements  are  prepared in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting   principles  which  require  management  to  make  certain
estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the amounts  reported in the  financial
statements  and  accompanying  notes.  Actual  results  could  differ from those
estimates.

       Marketable  securities  consist of a money  market fund that is valued at
market value. Marketable securities were not considered cash equivalents for the
Statements of Cash Flows.

       Realized  and  unrealized  gains or losses are  determined  on a specific
identification  method and are reflected in the Statements of Operations  during
the period in which the change in value occurs.

3.     INVESTMENTS

       At December 31, 1994,  the  Partnership  had an  investment  of 9,000,000
shares of Applied  Diagnostics,  Inc. (a subsidiary of  Teknowledge  Corporation
("Teknowledge")  formerly Cimflex Teknowledge  Corporation) Series A Convertible
Preferred  Stock with a carrying  value of zero.  As of December 31,  1995,  the
Partnership had been advised of the dissolution of Applied Diagnostics, Inc. The
Partnership  received  no  distributions  as a  result  of the  dissolution.  In
addition,  the  Partnership  had one  warrant to  purchase  1,050,000  shares of
Teknowledge  common  stock  with an  exercise  price of $3.83  which  expired in
September 1995. The warrant was carried at a cost basis of zero.

       In August 1994,  the merger of DAVID Systems,  Inc.  ("DSI") into Chipcom
Corporation  ("Chipcom")  was  approved  at a special  meeting of  shareholders.
According  to the  terms  of the  merger,  the  Partnership  exchanged  its  DSI
preferred  stock with a carrying  value as of December  31, 1993 of $750,000 for
cash  in the  amount  of  $364,585  resulting  in the  recognition  of a loss of
$385,415 for the year ended December 31, 1994 in the accompanying  Statements of
Operations.



4.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       The money  market  fund  invested  in  by the Partnership is  managed  by
affiliates of PaineWebber Incorporated ("PWI").

       PWDC and PWI, and its  affiliates,  have acted in an  investment  banking
capacity  for  several  of the  Sponsor  Companies.  In  addition,  PWDC and its
affiliates  have had direct  limited  partnership  interests in the same product
development limited partnerships as the Partnership.



5.     INCOME TAXES

       The  Partnership is not subject to federal,  state or local income taxes.
Accordingly,  the individual  Partners are required to report their distributive
shares of realized income or loss on their  individual  federal and state income
tax returns.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




6.   LEGAL PROCEEDING

       In July 1995, the Partnership commenced an action in the Supreme Court of
the State of New York (the "Court")  against  Centocor arising out of Centocor's
July 1992 transactions  with Lilly. In April 1996, the Court granted  Centocor's
motion to dismiss  the action on the grounds  that New York was an  inconvenient
forum.  Accordingly,  the  Partnership  refiled its claims in Delaware  Superior
Court.

       In  1986,  the  Partnership  and  others  purchased  limited  partnership
interests in Centocor Partners II, L.P. ("CP II"), a limited  partnership formed
to develop and sell Centoxin,  a Centocor  drug. On February 21, 1992,  Centocor
exercised its option to purchase all of the limited partnership  interests in CP
II, including those held by the  Partnership.  The purchase  agreement  provided
that  Centocor  would  thereafter  pay to the  former  limited  partners  50% of
Centocor's  revenues  from the licensing or  sublicensing  of Centoxin and 8% of
Centocor's  revenues from Centoxin  sales,  with such payments to be made on the
last business day of the calendar quarter in which they were earned.

       In July 1992,  Centocor entered into a set of agreements with Eli Lilly &
Company  ("Lilly") for the stated purposes of Lilly making an equity  investment
in Centocor and  furthering the testing and eventual  distribution  of Centoxin.
Pursuant to those agreements,  Lilly paid Centocor a total of $100 million,  and
Centocor conveyed to Lilly,  among other things,  two million shares of Centocor
common stock,  exclusive  marketing  rights to Centoxin and an option to acquire
exclusive marketing rights to CentoRx (now ReoPro), another Centocor drug.

       The Partnership's complaint alleges, among other things, that part of the
$100 million paid by Lilly constitutes  revenues to Centocor from the licensing,
sublicensing  and/or sale of Centoxin,  and that  Centocor is obligated to pay a
percentage of that part to the former limited  partners of CP II,  including the
Partnership.  The  Partnership is seeking to proceed on behalf of itself and all
other former limited partners of CP II whose interests were acquired by Centocor
in February  1992 (the  "Class").  The  complaint  seeks  damages,  interest and
expenses. Centocor has taken the positions that: it is not obligated to make any
further payments to former limited partners of CP II; and the Partnership is not
a proper Class  representative.  This action is presently scheduled for trial in
November 1997.

       In February 1996,  another  former  limited  partner of CP II commenced a
purported class action in the Court of Common Pleas of the State of Pennsylvania
against  Centocor  and  Lilly.  The claims in that  action are  similar to those
asserted in the Partnership's complaint.

       PWDC has been advancing, and may continue to advance, the funds necessary
to pay the Partnership's legal fees and expenses relating to this action. In the
event of a recovery  on behalf of the Class,  the Court may award legal fees and
expenses to the  Partnership's  counsel,  to be paid out of the recovery.  It is
anticipated  that:  the net proceeds of any recovery will be  distributed to the
members  of the Class,  including  the  Partnership,  on a pro rata  basis;  the
Partnership   and/or  its  counsel  will  reimburse   PWDC;  and  any  remaining
Partnership proceeds will be distributed to the Partners of the Partnership on a
pro rata basis.

Exhibit A

PaineWebber R&D Partners, L.P.                                Annual Report 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LETTER TO LIMITED PARTNERS

To Our Limited Partners:

PaineWebber R&D Partners,  L.P. ("R&D Partners" or the "Partnership")  commenced
the dissolution of the Partnership in October 1994.

In December 1996, R&D Partners and Amgen Inc.  ("Amgen")  entered into a Consent
Agreement (the "Agreement") permitting PaineWebber Development Corporation,  the
corporate general partner of R&D Partners, to assume the ongoing obligations for
the  distribution of quarterly cash payments  arising from the Amgen  Contingent
Payment Rights ("CPRs"). As a result of this Agreement, PWDC will make quarterly
payments to limited  partners  holding Amgen CPRs which are derived from Amgen's
product  sales of the  drug  Neupogen(R)  through  the year  2005.  Neupogen  is
currently  approved for the following  indications:  febrile  neutropenia,  bone
marrow  transplantation,  severe chronic neutropenia,  and peripheral blood stem
cell treatment and is currently being evaluated in Phase III clinical trials for
other indications.

The ongoing litigation  involving R&D Partners and Centocor,  Inc.  ("Centocor")
prevents the Partnership from terminating.

In July 1995, R&D Partners commenced an action against Centocor,  arising out of
Centocor's  transaction with Eli Lilly & Co. ("Lilly").  Centocor entered into a
set of agreements  with Lilly in 1992 for the stated purposes of Lilly making an
equity   investment  in  Centocor  and   furthering  the  testing  and  eventual
distribution  of Centoxin,  a Centocor  drug.  R&D  Partners  claims that former
limited  partners of Centocor  Partners II whose  interests  were  purchased  by
Centocor in 1992,  including R&D  Partners,  are entitled to a percentage of the
payments that Lilly made to Centocor pursuant to those agreements. R&D Partners'
action is  presently  scheduled  for  trial in  November  1997.  There can be no
assurance of the outcome of this matter.

To date, for every $3,700  investment in R&D Partners,(1) limited  partners have
received $2,190(2) in cash distributions including $279 received during 1996. In
addition, limited partners have had the opportunity to realize significant value
from distributed  warrants.  Limited partners  received  warrants to purchase 96
shares of Amgen common stock at a price of $8.20 per share through June 1992 and
at a price of $9.03  through  June  1994.  The  available  gain  from the  Amgen
warrants ranged from $713 to $6,725 for each $3,700  investment in R&D Partners.
Limited partners also received warrants to purchase 24 shares of Centocor common
stock at a price of $18.995 per share  through  November  1991 and at a price of
$21.495 per share from December 1991 through  November  1993. The available gain
from the Centocor  warrants ranged from $474 to $990 for each $3,700  investment
in R&D Partners.  R&D Partners has  distributed  or liquidated  all  outstanding
warrants or equity securities to its limited partners.

R&D Partners  was formed in 1986 and  invested in a portfolio  of eight  product
development programs.  Six of those programs were either terminated or concluded
by the end of 1993.  Please  refer to prior R&D  Partners  Annual  Reports for a
detailed history of the Partnership's investments.

Thank you for your continued interest in R&D Partners.

Sincerely,

Robin Stanley
Vice President
PaineWebber Development Corporation

Exhibit B                PAINEWEBBER R&D PARTNERS, L.P.
                        (a Delaware Limited Partnership)


                  POLICY REGARDING REQUESTS FOR PARTNER LISTS
                  -------------------------------------------



       In accordance with the provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership  Act  (the  "Act"),  and  without  limiting  its  rights  under  the
Partnership  Agreement or the Act, as each may be amended from time to time, the
General  Partner of the  Partnership  has  established  standards  applicable to
requests for lists of Limited Partners. These standards have been established in
order to assure (1) that the lists are not used for an improper or inappropriate
purpose  or in any way  that  might be  detrimental  to the  Partnership  or the
Limited Partners;  (2) that the Limited Partners have sufficient information and
opportunity to decide how they should react in response to any  solicitation  or
other  communication  addressed to them;  and (3) that the  Partnership  and the
Limited  Partners do not face an increased risk of adverse tax consequences as a
direct or indirect result of any such solicitation or communication.

       The  General  Partner  requires  any  request  to be made in writing by a
record holder of limited partner interests with standing to request the list, to
comply  strictly with all  applicable  requirements  of law and the  Partnership
Agreement,  to state the purpose  for which the request is made with  sufficient
specificity to enable the General Partner to make the  determinations  specified
above,  and to include an  undertaking  under oath by the person  requesting the
list and the persons or entities on whose behalf it is requested (1) to hold the
list in strict confidence, and not to give any information derived from the list
to any third party for any purpose whatsoever,  (2) to reimburse the Partnership
for costs  incurred in  connection  with the  request and for a list,  including
confirming compliance with the undertakings required hereby and (3) to submit to
the  jurisdiction  of the courts of the State of Delaware in any dispute arising
in connection  with such request and to appoint and maintain RL&F Service Corp.,
One Rodney Square, Tenth Floor,  Wilmington,  New Castle County,  Delaware 19801
(whose  reasonable  fees and expenses will be paid by the  Partnership)  as such
person's or  entity's  agent in the State of Delaware  for  acceptance  of legal
process in connection  therewith.  In addition, in the case of requests made for
the purpose of soliciting tenders of the Limited Partners' interests or units in
the  Partnership  or  soliciting  proxies or consents  from Limited  Partners or
facilitating, assisting or supporting any such solicitation, the General Partner
will,  if and to the  extent  required  by  applicable  law and the  Partnership
Agreement,  make lists available or agree to disseminate  such  solicitations on
behalf of requesting  Limited Partners only upon receipt of an undertaking under
oath by the person  requesting  the list and the  persons or  entities  on whose
behalf it is requested (1) to conduct the  solicitation  in accordance  with the
requirements  of the  Securities  and  Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder,  including full disclosure of all
material  facts and, in the case of any tender  offer,  rights of proration  and
withdrawal rights,  irrespective of the number of interests or units sought, and
(2) to refrain  from  acquiring  interests or units of any number if the General
Partners,  based upon advice from counsel,  conclude that such acquisition would
increase  the  risk  of  adverse  tax  consequences  to the  Partnership  or the
Partners.

       The General Partner shall endeavor to inform the requesting  party within
30 days of receipt of the requisite  undertakings whether they consider that the
proposed use of the list is improper or inappropriate or would increase the risk
of such adverse tax consequences, and may request such further assurances as may
be necessary in order to enable them to make any of the determinations specified
above.
