1. Organization
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, 1995.
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. Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture Partnership
At June 30, 1995, the Partnership has an investment in one unconsolidated
joint venture which owns an operating investment property (Lincoln Garden
Apartments), as discussed further in the Annual Report. The unconsolidated
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 unconsolidated venture's earnings, losses and
distributions. The Partnership's policy is to recognize its share of
unconsolidated venture's operations three months in arrears.
Summarized operations of the unconsolidated joint venture, for the periods
indicated, are as follows:

3. Operating Investment Properties
The Partnership consolidates the results of two majority-owned and controlled
joint ventures in its financial statements. The Partnership's policy is to
report the operations of the consolidated joint ventures on a three month
lag.
On December 16, 1985, the Partnership acquired an interest in 71st Street
Housing Partners, Ltd., a joint venture formed to develop, own and operate
the Harbour Pointe Apartments, a 234-unit two-story garden apartment complex
located in Bradenton, Florida. Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement
of the Limited Partnership dated August 4, 1989, the general partner
interests of the co-venturers were converted to limited partnership
interests. As a result of the amendment, the Partnership, as the sole
general partner, assumed full control of the operations of the property and,
accordingly, presents the financial position and the operating results of the
joint venture on a consolidated basis.
The Lakes Joint Venture ("Venture") was formed May 30, 1985 in accordance
with the provisions of the laws of the State of California for the purpose of
developing, owning and operating The Lakes at South Coast Apartments, a 770-
unit apartment complex located in Costa Mesa, California. As discussed
further in the Annual Report, on September 26, 1991, in conjunction with a
refinancing and modification of the Venture's long-term indebtedness, the
original co-venture partner transferred its interest in the Venture to
Development Partners, Inc. ("DPI"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Paine Webber Group, Inc., and withdrew from the Venture. As a
result of the original co-venturer's withdrawal, the Partnership assumed full
control over the operations of the Venture. Accordingly, the financial
position and results of operations of the Venture are presented on a
consolidated basis.
The following is a combined summary of property operating expenses for the
Harbour Pointe Apartments and The Lakes at South Coast Apartments for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 (in thousands):
1995 1994

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, 1995 and 1994 is $1,000 and $2,000, respectively, representing
fees earned by Mitchell Hutchins Institutional Investors, Inc. for managing
the Partnership's cash assets.
5.Long-term Debt

Less: Long-term debt in technical

$ 9,125 $ 9,125
Mortgage loan secured by the Harbour Pointe Apartments
Original financing for construction of the Harbour Pointe Apartments was
provided through $9,200,000 of Multi-Family Housing Mortgage Revenue Bonds,
Series 1985 E due December 1, 2007 (the original Bonds) issued by the
Manatee County Housing Finance Authority which bore interest at 8.25% plus a
1.25% letter of credit fee. An amount of $75,000 was paid on the original
bonds prior to the refinancing. The original bond issue was refinanced on
May 1, 1990 with $9,125,000 Weekly Adjustable/Fixed Rate Multi-Family
Housing Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1990A, due December 1, 2007 (the
Bonds). The interest rate on the Bonds is adjusted weekly to a minimum rate
that would be necessary to remarket the Bonds in a secondary market as
determined by a bank remarketing agent. The Bonds are secured by the
Harbour Pointe Apartments.
Interest on the underlying bonds is intended to be exempt from federal
income tax pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code. In
connection with obtaining the mortgage, the Harbour Pointe joint venture
executed a Land Use Restriction Agreement with the Manatee County Housing
Finance Authority which provides, among other things, that substantially all
of the proceeds of the Bonds issued be utilized to finance multi-family
housing of which 20% or more of the units are to be leased to low and
moderate income families as established by the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development. In the event that the underlying Bonds do
not maintain their tax-exempt status, whether by a change in law or by
noncompliance with the rules and regulations related thereto, repayment of
the note may be accelerated.
Pursuant to the financing agreement, a bank has issued an irrevocable
letter of credit to the Bond trustee in the joint venture's name for
$9,247,500. An annual fee equal to 1% of the letter of credit balance is
payable monthly to the extent of net cash operating income available to pay
such fees.
Debt secured by The Lakes at South Coast Apartments
Original financing for construction of The Lakes at South Coast Apartments
was provided from a developer loan in the amount of $76,000,000 funded by
the proceeds of a public offering of tax-exempt apartment development
revenue bonds. The Venture had been in default of the developer loan since
December 1989 for failure to make full and timely payments on the loan. The
original bond issue was refinanced during 1991 and the original developer
loan was extinguished. The new developer loan (1991 Developer Loan), in the
amount of $75,600,000, is payable to the County of Orange and was funded by
the proceeds of a public offering of tax-exempt apartment development
revenues bonds issued, at par, by the County of Orange, California in
September 1991. Principal is payable upon maturity, December 1, 2006.
Interest on the bonds is variable, with the rate determined weekly by a
remarketing agent and is payable in arrears on the first of each month.
The loan is secured by a first deed of trust plus all future rents and
income generated by the operating investment property. Bond principal and
interest payments are secured by and payable from an irrevocable letter of
credit issued by a bank in the amount of $76,569,000, expiring December 15,
1998. The Venture pays an annual letter of credit fee equal to 1.0% of the
outstanding amount, payable 60% monthly with the remaining 40% (Unpaid
Accrued Letter of Credit Fees) deferred and paid in accordance with the
Reimbursement Agreement (see the Partnership's Annual Report for a further
discussion of the Reimbursement Agreement). Such Unpaid Accrued Letter of
Credit Fees were $1,076,000 and $999,000 at March 31, 1995 and December 31,
1994, respectively. The bank letter of credit is secured by a second deed
of trust on the operating investment property and future rents and income
from the operating investment property.
The 1991 Developer Loan contains several restrictive covenants, including,
among others, a requirement that the Venture furnish the letter of credit
issuer in September 1994 and September 1996 with certified independent
appraisals of the fair market value of the operating investment property for
an amount equal to or greater than $92,000,000 and $100,000,000,
respectively. Failure to provide such appraisals constitute events of
default under the Reimbursement Agreement. To date, the Lakes Joint Venture
has not provided the lender with an appraisal which meets the $92,000,000
requirement, and the lender has not waived or modified the minimum appraised
value requirement. Accordingly, the Venture is technically in default under
the Reimbursement Agreement. The Managing General Partner has had
preliminary discussions with the lender regarding possible changes to the
1994 appraisal requirement. Preliminary indications have been that the
lender might consider waiving or modifying the minimum appraised value
requirement for September 1994 in exchange for a rearrangement of the timing
and amounts of certain priorities, as specified in the Reimbursement
Agreement. Management does not expect the lender to take any actions as
long as progress continues to be made in negotiations for modification to
the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement. However, there can be no
assurances that the lender will grant any relief in connection with this
appraisal covenant and, accordingly, the principal amount of the debt
related to The Lakes Joint Venture has been classified as long-term debt in
technical default on the balance sheet as of June 30, 1995 and March 31,
1995. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Venture's and the
Partnership's ability to continue as going concerns. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future
effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
The restructuring of the Prior Indebtedness, the Deferred Letter of Credit
Fees and the line of credit borrowings in 1991 was accounted for in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15,
"Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings".
Accordingly, the forgiveness of debt, aggregating $5,279,000, has been
deferred and is being amortized as a reduction of interest expense
prospectively using a method approximating the effective interest method
over the estimated remaining term of the Venture's indebtedness. At March
31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, $4,001,000 and $4,087,000, respectively of
such forgiven debt (net of accumulated amortization) is reflected in the
accompanying balance sheets.
6. Contingencies
The Partnership is involved in certain legal actions. The Managing General
Partner believes that these actions will be resolved without material adverse
effect on the Partnership's financial statements, taken as a whole.

PAINEWEBBER DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS FOUR, LTD.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As discussed in the Annual Report, the operations of the three remaining
assets, The Lakes at South Coast Apartments, the Harbour Pointe Apartments and
the Lincoln Garden Apartments, have been stabilized as a result of successful
debt restructurings, and the properties do not currently require the use of the
Partnership's cash reserves to support operations. Nonetheless, the properties
would not operate at or above breakeven under conventional financing terms based
on the current outstanding principal amounts owed. All three of these
properties have been financed with tax-exempt bonds issued by local housing
authorities. The interest rates on all three of these restructured debt
obligations are now variable rates which are based on comparable rates on
similar tax-exempt obligations. Such rates rose during fiscal 1995 along with
the general increase in market interest rates, but remained 3 to 4 percent per
annum below comparable conventional rates. As previously reported, the debt
modification agreement for The Lakes was structured with certain debt service
reserves and accrual features intended to help absorb interest rate
fluctuations. Although such reserves were drawn down during the first quarter
to cover required current debt services, the Lakes Joint Venture still has over
$1,000,000 of reserves in place to help cover possible future debt service
shortfalls. The Harbour Pointe and Lincoln Garden joint ventures would require
advances from the venture partners, principally the Partnership in the case of
Harbour Pointe, if future cash flows are insufficient to cover any increases in
debt service payments.
Despite a general strengthening in the real estate market for multi-family
residential properties over the past three years, based on current cash flows
generated from operations, all three of the Partnership's remaining properties
have estimated current market values which are below the balances of their
outstanding debt obligations. It remains to be seen whether further improvement
in market conditions will occur as rapidly or to the extent necessary to enable
the Partnership to recover any meaningful portion of its original investment in
these three remaining properties. In addition, the Reimbursement Agreement
which governs the secured debt obligations of The Lakes Joint Venture contains
certain restrictive covenants, including a provision that required the venture
to provide the lender, in September 1994, with an independent appraisal of the
operating property showing the value of the property to be equal to or greater
than $92 million. Failure to provide such an appraisal is defined as an event of
default under the Reimbursement Agreement. Based on current cash flow levels and
the prevailing market conditions, the value of the property could be expected to
be considerably less than $92 million. The Managing General Partner has had
preliminary discussions with the lender regarding possible changes to the 1994
appraisal requirement. Preliminary indications have been that the lender might
consider waiving or modifying the minimum appraised value requirement for
September 1994 in exchange for a rearrangement of the timing and amounts of
certain payment priorities, as specified in the Reimbursement Agreement.
However, to date the venture has not provided the lender with an appraisal which
meets the $92 million requirement, and the lender has not waived or modified the
minimum appraised value requirement. Accordingly, the venture is technically in
default under the Reimbursement Agreement. Management does not expect the lender
to take any actions as long as progress continues to be made in negotiations for
modification to the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement. However, there can be
no assurances that the lender will grant any relief in connection with this
appraisal covenant.
In the event that management is successful in negotiating a waiver or
modification of the minimum appraised value requirement described above for The
Lakes Joint Venture, which represents approximately 49% of the Partnership's
original investment portfolio, the Partnership will continue to direct the
management of the remaining operating properties in order to generate sufficient
cash flow to sustain operations in the near-term while attempting to maximize
their long-term values. As discussed above, even under these circumstances, it
remains to be seen whether such a strategy would result in the return of any
significant amount of invested capital to the Limited Partners. If management
cannot reach an agreement with The Lakes' mortgage lender regarding the
appraisal covenant, the lender could choose to initiate foreclosure proceedings.
The Partnership is prepared to exercise all available legal remedies in the
event that the lender takes such actions. If the Partnership were not successful
with such legal defenses and the result was a foreclosure of the operating
property, the Partnership would have to weigh the costs of continued operations
against the realistic hopes for any future recovery of capital from the other
two investments. Under such circumstances, the Managing General Partner might
determine that it would be in the best interests of the Limited Partners to
liquidate the remaining investments and terminate the Partnership. Management
will reassess its future operating strategy once the appraisal covenant
compliance issue on The Lakes is resolved.
Barring a significant further increase in tax-exempt interest rates, excess
cash flow from Harbour Pointe should be sufficient to cover the Partnership's
operating expenses over the near term. Excess cash flow from the Lincoln
Garden joint venture has been minimal and is primarily payable to the co-
venturer for the repayment of prior advances. To the extent that the
Partnership's operating properties generate excess cash flow after current debt
service, a substantial portion of such amounts will be reinvested in the
properties to make certain repairs and improvements aimed at maximizing long-
term values. At The Lakes, planned capital improvements for fiscal 1996 include
upgrading the hallways, elevator landings and lobbies and painting.
Improvements planned at Lincoln Garden for fiscal 1996 include resurfacing the
pool deck, replacing the roofs on several buildings, repairing the sidewalks and
upgrading the unit interiors on a turnover basis. Management completed an
improvement program at Harbour Pointe during the first quarter of calendar 1994
which included exterior painting and the installation of new window awnings.
Future improvements at this property are expected to include new pool furniture,
additional exterior lighting and the installation of individual water meters in
all units. The amount and timing of the funds to be spent on property
improvements at all three of the remaining ventures will depend upon the
availability of cash flow from the respective property's operations.
At June 30, 1995, the Partnership and its consolidated joint ventures had
available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,538,000. Such cash and
cash equivalents will be used for the working capital requirements of the
Partnership and the consolidated ventures and, to the extent necessary and
economically justified, to fund the Partnership's share of any future operating
deficits of its remaining joint venture investments. The source of future
liquidity and distributions to the partners is expected to be through proceeds
received from the sale, refinancing or other disposition of the remaining
investment properties and, to a lesser extent, from cash generated from the
operations of such properties.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 1995
The Partnership's net loss increased by $191,000 for the three-month period
ended June 30, 1995, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This
unfavorable change in net loss resulted from increases in the Partnership's
operating loss of $179,000 and in the Partnership's share of unconsolidated
venture's loss of $11,000. Operating loss increased mainly due to increases in
interest expense and property operating expenses. Interest expense increased by
$439,000 in the current period due to an increase in the variable interest rates
on the mortgage loans secured by The Lakes at South Coast Apartments and the
Harbour Pointe Apartments. Property operating expenses increased by $57,000
primarily due to increases in utilities and marketing expenses at The Lakes at
South Coast Apartments. The increases in interest expense and property
operating expenses were partially offset by a $260,000 decrease in real estate
taxes from The Lakes joint venture and an increase in rental income of $36,000,
due to small increases in rental income at both of the Partnership's
consolidated joint ventures.
The Partnership's share of unconsolidated venture's loss, which represents
the operating results of the Lincoln Garden joint venture, increased by
approximately $11,000 in the current period mainly due to increases in
depreciation expense as a result of fixed asset additions during fiscal 1995,
and an increase in interest expense, due to an increase in the variable interest
rate on the property's mortgage loan.
PART II
