             PAINEWEBBER EQUITY PARTNERS TWO LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 (Unaudited)


1.  Organization

      The accompanying financial statements,  footnotes and discussion 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 the three months ended
     June 30, 1996 and 1995 is $65,000 and $70,000,  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  and  1995  is  $7,000  and  $1,000,   respectively,
     representing fees earned by Mitchell Hutchins Institutional Investors, Inc.
     for managing the Partnership's cash assets.

      Accounts  receivable  -  affiliates  at June 30,  1996 and March 31,  1996
     consist  of $15,000 at both  dates due from  certain  unconsolidated  joint
     ventures  for  expenses  paid by the  Partnership  on  behalf  of the joint
     ventures.

3.  Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

      As  of  June  30,  1996,  the   Partnership   had   investments  in  three
    unconsolidated  joint venture partnerships (five at June 30, 1995) which own
    operating  investment  properties as described  further in the Partnership's
    Annual  Report.  On  November  2, 1995,  the joint  venture  which owned the
    Richmond Park and Richland Terrace Apartments sold the properties to a third
    party  for  $11   million.   The   Partnership   received  net  proceeds  of
    approximately $8 million after deducting  closing costs,  the  co-venturer's
    share  of  the  proceeds  and  repayment  of a $2  million  short-term  loan
    collaterilized  by  the  Partnership's  share  of  the  sale  proceeds.  The
    Partnership distributed  approximately $5.1 million of these net proceeds to
    the Limited  Partners in a Special  Distribution  made on December 27, 1995.
    The remaining sale proceeds were retained by the Partnership for the capital
    needs of the Partnership's  commercial properties.  In addition, on December
    29, 1995 the joint venture which owned the Treat Commons II Apartments  sold
    the property to a third party for $12.1 million.  The  Partnership  received
    net proceeds of approximately $4.1 million after deducting closing costs and
    the repayment of the existing mortgage note of $7.3 million. The Partnership
    distributed  approximately  $3.1  million of these net sale  proceeds to the
    Limited  Partners in a Special  Distribution  made on February 15, 1996. The
    remaining  sale  proceeds of  approximately  $1 million were retained by the
    Partnership  for potential  reinvestment  in the Loehmann's  Plaza property,
    where a significant renovation and re-leasing program is currently underway.

      The  unconsolidated  joint venture  partnerships  are accounted for on the
    equity  method  in  the  Partnership's   financial  statements  because  the
    Partnership does not have a voting control interest in these joint ventures.
    The Partnership's  policy is to recognize its share of ventures'  operations
    three months in arrears.

      Summarized  operations  of the  unconsolidated  joint  ventures,  for  the
    periods indicated, are as follows.

    Associates,   the  Asbury  Commons  Apartments,   owned  by  Atlanta  Asbury
    Partnership,  and the West Ashley  Shoppes  shopping  center,  owned by West

Partnership  to  an  insurance   company
secured by the 625 North Michigan Avenue
operating   investment   property   (see
discussion below). The terms of the note
were  modified  effective  May 31, 1994.
The loan requires monthly  principal and
interest   payments   of   $55   through
maturity on May 1, 1999.  The fair value
of the mortgage  note  approximated  its
carrying  value  at June  30,  1996  and
March 31, 1996.                                      $ 9,512          $ 9,542

     8.75%  mortgage note payable by the
consolidated  Atlanta Asbury Partnership

property  (see  discussion  below).  The
loan  requires  monthly   principal  and
interest   payments   of   $88   through
maturity on October 15,  2001.  The fair
value of the mortgage note  approximated

     On April 29, 1988,  the  Partnership  borrowed  $6,000,000 in the form of a
zero coupon loan which had a scheduled  maturity  date in May of 1995.  The note
bore interest at an effective  compounded annual rate of 9.8% and was secured by
the 625 North  Michigan  Avenue  Office  Building.  Payment of all  interest was
deferred  until  maturity,  at  which  time  principal  and  interest  totalling
approximately  $11,556,000  was to be due  and  payable.  On May  31,  1994  the
Partnership  executed a modification and extension  agreement with the 625 North
Michigan lender. The terms of the agreement called for the Partnership to make a
principal paydown of $801,000. The maturity date of the loan, which now requires
principal  and  interest  payments on a monthly  basis as set forth  above,  was
extended to May 31,  1999.  The terms of the loan  agreement  also  required the
establishment  of an escrow account for real estate taxes,  as well as a capital
improvement  escrow  which  is to be  funded  with  monthly  deposits  from  the
Partnership aggregating  approximately $1 million through the scheduled maturity
date.

     On June 20, 1988, the Partnership  borrowed $17,000,000 in the form of zero
coupon  loans due in June of 1995.  These notes bore  interest at a rate of 10%,
compounded  annually.  During fiscal 1995,  the  remaining  balances of the zero
coupon  loans were repaid from the  proceeds of five new  conventional  mortgage
loans issued to the Partnership's  joint venture investees,  together with funds
contributed by the Partnership, as set forth below.
     On September 27, 1994, the  Partnership  refinanced the portion of the zero
coupon  loan  secured  by the  Treat  Commons  Phase II  apartment  complex,  of
approximately $3,353,000,  with the proceeds of a new $7.4 million loan obtained
by the TCR Walnut Creek Limited Partnership joint venture. The $7.4 million loan
was secured by the Treat Commons Phase II apartment  complex,  carried an annual
interest rate of 8.54% and was  scheduled to mature in 7 years.  As discussed in
Note 5, the Treat Commons  property was sold and this loan obligation was repaid
in full on December 29, 1995. On September 28, 1994, the Partnership  repaid the
portion of the zero coupon loan secured by the Asbury Commons apartment complex,
of approximately $3,836,000, with the proceeds of a new $7 million loan obtained
by the consolidated Asbury Commons joint venture. The $7 million loan is secured
by the Asbury  Commons  apartment  complex,  carries an annual  interest rate of
8.75% and matures in 7 years. The loan requires  monthly  principal and interest
payments of $88,000.  On October 22, 1994, the Partnership  applied a portion of
the  excess  proceeds  from the  refinancings  of the Treat  Commons  and Asbury
Commons  properties  described  above and repaid the  portion of the zero coupon
loan which had been secured by West Ashley Shoppes of  approximately  $2,703,000
and made a partial prepayment toward the portion of the zero coupon loan secured
by Hacienda  Business Park of $3,000,000.  On November 7, 1994, the  Partnership
repaid the portion of the zero coupon loans secured by The Gables Apartments and
the Richland  Terrace and Richmond  Park  apartment  complexes of  approximately
$2,353,000 and $2,106,000, respectively, with the proceeds of a new $5.2 million
loan  obtained  by  Richmond  Gables   Associates  and  secured  by  The  Gables
Apartments.  The new $5.2 million loan bears  interest at 8.72% and matures in 7
years. The loan requires monthly principal and interest payments of $43,000.  On
February  9, 1995,  the  Partnership  repaid the portion of the zero coupon loan
secured by the Hacienda  Business Park, of  approximately  $3,583,000,  with the
proceeds of a new $3.5 million loan obtained by the  consolidated  Hacienda Park
Associates along with additional funds contributed by the Partnership.  The $3.5
million  loan is secured by the  Hacienda  Business  Park  property,  carries an
annual interest rate of 9.04% and matures in 7 years.  The loan requires monthly
principal  and  interest  payments  of  $36,000.   On  February  10,  1995,  the
Partnership repaid the portion of the zero coupon loan secured by the Loehmann's
Plaza shopping center, of approximately  $4,093,000,  with the proceeds of a new
$4 million loan obtained by  Daniel/Metcalf  Associates  Partnership  along with
additional funds contributed by the Partnership.  The $4 million loan is secured
by the Loehmann's  Plaza  shopping  center,  carries an annual  interest rate of
9.04% and matures on February 15, 2003. The loan requires monthly  principal and
interest  payments of $34,000.  Legal  liability  for the  repayment  of the new
mortgage loans secured by the Gables and Loehmann's  Plaza properties rests with
the respective  unconsolidated  joint  ventures.  Accordingly  the mortgage loan
liabilities  are recorded on the books of these  unconsolidated  joint ventures.
The Partnership has indemnified  Richmond Gables  Associates and  Daniel/Metcalf
Associates  Partnership  and  the  related  co-venture  partners,   against  all
liabilities,  claims and  expenses  associated  with these  borrowings.  The net
proceeds of these loans were recorded as distributions to the Partnership by the
joint ventures in fiscal 1995.

6.   Bonds Payable

     Bonds  payable  consist  of the  Hacienda  Park  joint  venture's  share of
liabilities  for bonds issued by the City of  Pleasanton,  California for public
improvements  that benefit Hacienda  Business Park and the operating  investment
property  and are secured by liens on the  operating  investment  property.  The
bonds for which the operating  investment property is subject to assessment bear
interest  at  rates  ranging  from  5%  to  7.87%,   with  an  average  rate  of
approximately   7.2%.   Principal  and  interest  are  payable  in   semi-annual
installments  and mature in years 2004 through  2017. In the event the operating
investment  property is sold,  Hacienda Park Associates will no longer be liable
for the bond assessments.

7.   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.

             PAINEWEBBER EQUITY PARTNERS TWO LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As discussed in the Annual Report, the Partnership reduced its distribution
rate to a level of 1% on remaining  invested  capital  effective for the payment
made on February 15, 1996 for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 as a result of
the reduction in  Partnership  cash flow resulting from the sale of the Richmond
Park,  Richland Terrace and Treat Commons II properties during the third quarter
of fiscal  1996.  Distributions  are  expected to remain at this level until the
leasing status of the Partnership's commercial properties has been stabilized.

     Management is in the process of completing a major capital  enhancement and
repositioning  program at Loehmann's Plaza. The improvement  program,  which was
substantially  completed as of the end of the first fiscal quarter,  is expected
to cost  approximately  $2 million and is necessary in order for the property to
remain  competitive  in  its  market.  As  part  of the  repositioning  program,
management  believed it would  significantly  enhance the value of the  shopping
center to replace the  property's  anchor  tenant,  Loehmann's,  which  occupied
15,000 square feet, or  approximately  10% of the  property's net leasable area.
Loehmann's, which is no longer a prominent retailer in the Kansas City area, was
not serving as a major draw for the center and was paying a substantially  below
market rental rate. On November 7, 1995, management completed the negotiation of
an agreement  whereby  Loehmann's  consented to terminate its lease,  vacate the
property and relinquish control of its space to the Partnership's  joint venture
in return for a payment of $75,000.  Loehmann's  Plaza was 74% leased as of June
30, 1996.  Management  is currently  in  discussions  with a number of potential
replacement  anchor  tenants  for the vacant  Loehmann's  space.  A lease with a
national or strong  regional  credit  anchor  tenant would  greatly  enhance the
position of the property in its  marketplace,  resulting in increased  cash flow
and an improved ability to lease vacant shop space.  Tenant improvement costs to
lease the Loehmann's space are likely to be significant and would be in addition
to the $2 million for the capital enhancement and repositioning program referred
to above.  A portion of the funds  required to pay for the  capital  improvement
work at  Loehmann's  Plaza was expected to come from a $550,000  Renovation  and
Occupancy  Escrow  withheld by the lender from the proceeds of a $4 million loan
secured by the property  which was obtained in February  1995.  Funds were to be
released from the Renovation  and Occupancy  Escrow to reimburse the venture for
the costs of the planned  renovations  in the event that the  venture  satisfied
certain  requirements  which  include  specified  occupancy  and  rental  income
thresholds.  If such  requirements  have not been met within 18 months  from the
date of the loan closing, the lender may apply the balance of the escrow account
to the payment of loan  principal.  In addition,  the lender  required  that the
Partnership  unconditionally  guarantee up to $1,400,000 of the loan obligation.
This  guaranty  was to be released in the event that the venture  satisfied  the
requirement  for the release of the  Renovation and Occupancy  Escrow funds.  It
appears  unlikely that the  Partnership  will satisfy the  requirements  for the
release of these escrow funds by the required  date in August 1996. As a result,
these  funds are  expected  to be applied  against  the  mortgage  loan  payable
obligation  during fiscal 1997, and the $1.4 million  recourse  obligation  will
likely  remain in place  until the  property  is sold or  refinanced.  The funds
required to pay for the  remaining  portion of the  improvement  program and the
expected  re-leasing  costs at Loehmann's Plaza will be provided by the proceeds
retained  by the  Partnership  from the  sales of the  Richmond  Park,  Richland
Terrace and Treat Commons II properties in fiscal 1996.

     A  significant  amount  of  funds  may  also be  needed  to pay for  tenant
improvement  costs to re-lease the vacant 36,000 square foot anchor tenant space
at West Ashley  Shoppes in the near term.  As  previously  reported,  Children's
Palace closed its retail store at the center in May 1991 and subsequently  filed
for  bankruptcy  protection  from  creditors.  West Ashley's  other major anchor
tenant,  Phar-Mor,  emerged  from  the  protection  of  Chapter  11 of the  U.S.
Bankruptcy Code during fiscal 1996. While Phar-Mor closed a number of its stores
nationwide  as  part  of its  bankruptcy  reorganization,  the  company  remains
obligated  under a lease at West Ashley which runs through  August 2002.  During
fiscal 1996, management of Phar-Mor inquired about the possibility of downsizing
their store at West Ashley by vacating  their  current  52,000 square foot space
and  relocating  into the former  Children's  Palace  space.  During the current
quarter,  management  signed a letter of intent  with a national  credit  tenant
which would lease the current Phar-Mor space if the downsizing and relocation of
the Phar-Mor store at West Ashley can be accomplished.  Management believes that
securing this new tenant in conjunction  with a relocation of the Phar-Mor store
into the smaller  vacant anchor space would  significantly  enhance the value of
the shopping center.  However,  there are no assurances that Phar-Mor will agree
to move to the Children's  Palace space and  restructure its lease on terms that
are acceptable to the Partnership.

     Capital  improvement  and leasing  costs at the 625 North  Michigan  Office
Building are expected to continue to be significant for the  foreseeable  future
due to the size and age of the  building,  the large  number  of leases  and the
competitive  conditions  which exist in the market for downtown  Chicago  office
space.  Significant capital  improvements are planned at 625 North Michigan over
the next two years,  including  the  completion of facade  repairs,  common area
enhancements, elevator control system upgrading and a possible lobby area retail
space expansion and  renovation.  The 625 North Michigan Office Building was 89%
occupied as of June 30, 1996.

     As previously  reported,  during fiscal 1995 the Partnership  secured a new
tenant,  under a seven-year  lease,  for a vacant 31,000 square foot building at
Hacienda Park.  During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Partnership  leased
an  additional  10,808  square foot space at Hacienda  Park to this same tenant.
During the third quarter of fiscal 1996,  the  Partnership  leased the remaining
10,027  square  feet of  available  space at Hacienda  Park to another  existing
tenant.  In addition,  during fiscal 1996 a 31,500 square foot tenant executed a
5-year renewal of its lease  obligation,  which was due to expire in March 1996.
As a result of these  developments,  the Hacienda Park  investment  property was
fully leased as of June 30, 1996.  No leases are due to expire at this  property
until February 1998.

     While  market  values  for  commercial   office  buildings  have  generally
stabilized over the past two years,  such values continue to be depressed due to
the residual effects of the  overbuilding  which occurred in the late 1980's and
the trend toward corporate  downsizing and restructurings  which occurred in the
wake of the last  national  recession.  In  addition,  at the present  time real
estate values for retail shopping centers in certain markets are being adversely
impacted by the effects of overbuilding and consolidations among retailers which
have resulted in an oversupply of space. As a result of these market conditions,
the  current  estimated  market  values  of the  Partnership's  four  commercial
properties are significantly  below their  acquisition  prices. In light of such
circumstances,  in fiscal 1996 the  Partnership  elected  early  application  of
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  121,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment of  Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of"
(SFAS 121). In accordance  with SFAS 121, an impairment  loss with respect to an
operating  investment property is recognized when the sum of the expected future
net cash flows  (undiscounted  and  without  interest  charges) is less than the
carrying  amount of the asset.  An impairment  loss is measured as the amount by
which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value,  where fair value
is defined as the amount at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current
transaction between willing parties,  that is other than a forced or liquidation
sale.  Based on management's  analysis in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the
estimated fair values of the Hacienda Park, 625 North Michigan, Loehmann's Plaza
and West Ashley Shoppes  properties were below their net carrying  amounts as of
December 31, 1995.  Management's  estimates of  undiscounted  cash flows for all
four  properties  indicated  that such  carrying  amounts  were  expected  to be
recovered,  but,  in the case of 625  North  Michigan  and  Hacienda  Park,  the
reversion  values  could  be less  than  the  carrying  amounts  at the  time of
disposition.  As a result  of such  assessment,  the 625  North  Michigan  joint
venture commenced recording an additional annual depreciation charge of $350,000
and the Hacienda Park joint  venture  commenced  recording an additional  annual
depreciation  charge  of  $250,000  in  calendar  1995.  Both  adjustments  were
reflected in the Partnership's  consolidated  financial statements effective for
the fourth  quarter of fiscal  1996.  Such annual  charges  will  continue to be
recorded in future periods.  Based on management's  analysis,  no changes to the
depreciation on Loehmann's Plaza or West Ashley Shoppes were required.

     The  Partnership  has no  current  plans  to  market  any of its  remaining
operating investment properties for sale. As discussed further above, the market
for office properties in general has just begun to stabilize after several years
of  decline  and the  market for retail  properties  is  considered  weak at the
present time. For these reasons, the Partnership's  strategy, at present,  would
be to hold the office and retail properties until the respective markets recover
sufficiently to provide favorable sales opportunities.  Notwithstanding this, it
is unlikely that the values of the  Partnership's  office and retail  properties
will  fully  recover  to their  levels  of the  mid-to-late  1980's  within  the
Partnership's  remaining  holding period.  With respect to the Partnership's two
apartment properties,  while the market for sales of multi-family  properties in
most  markets  has been  strong  over the past two years,  the Gables and Asbury
Commons  properties,  which represent a combined 18% of the original  investment
portfolio,  generate a stable cash flow which  contributes to the payment of the
Partnership's  operating  costs  and  operating  cash flow  distributions.  As a
result,  the  Partnership  will most likely delay any active  sales  efforts for
these two  apartment  properties  until  conditions  become more  favorable  for
potential  dispositions of the four  commercial  properties.  Management's  hold
versus sell  decisions  will  continue to be based on an  assessment of the best
expected overall returns to the Limited Partners.

     At June 30, 1996, the Partnership and its  consolidated  joint ventures had
available cash and cash equivalents of approximately  $5,334,000.  Such cash and
cash equivalent amounts will be utilized for the working capital requirements of
the Partnership, for reinvestment in certain of the Partnership's properties (as
required) and for distributions to the partners.  The source of future liquidity
and  distributions to the partners is expected to be through cash generated from
operations  of the  Partnership's  income-producing  investment  properties  and
proceeds received from the sale or refinancing of such properties.  Such 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, 1996

      The Partnership reported a net loss of $249,000 for the three months ended
June 30,  1996,  as compared to a net loss of $43,000 for the same period in the
prior year. This increase in the Partnership's net loss for the first quarter of
fiscal  1997   resulted   from  a  decrease  in  the   Partnership's   share  of
unconsolidated  ventures' income of $154,000,  an increase in the  Partnership's
operating loss of $27,000 and a decrease in interest income on notes  receivable
from unconsolidated  ventures of $25,000. A major portion of the decrease in the
Partnership's share of unconsolidated  ventures' income, as well as the decrease
in interest income on notes receivable from  unconsolidated  ventures,  resulted
from income attributable to the Richmond Park/Richland Terrace and Treat Commons
II joint ventures which sold their operating properties during the third quarter
of fiscal 1996. An increase in property  operating  expenses at Loehmann's Plaza
and the 625 North Michigan Office  Building also  contributed to the decrease in
the  Partnership's  share of  unconsolidated  ventures'  income for the  current
three-month  period.  Property  operating expenses at Loehmann's Plaza increased
mainly  due to  additional  repair  and  maintenance  and  depreciation  charges
associated  with the capital  improvement  program  currently  in  progress,  as
discussed  further  above.  Property  operating  expenses at 625 North  Michigan
increased  mainly  due  to  additional  repairs  and  maintenance   expenditures
associated  with the renovation of the  building's  facade which is currently in
progress. An increase in rental income from The Gables Apartments and a decrease
in real estate taxes at 625 North Michigan  partially offset the impact of these
increased  expenses in the current  three-month  period.  Rental income from The
Gables  Apartments  increased by  approximately  11% over the same period in the
prior year due to increases in rental rates over the past year  attributable  to
the strong Richmond apartment market.

      The Partnership's operating loss increased for the three months ended June
30, 1996, when compared to the same period in the prior year, due to an increase
in total  expenses of  $150,000,  which was  partially  offset by an increase in
total   revenues  of  $123,000.   The  increase  in  total  expenses  is  mainly
attributable  to higher  depreciation  and  amortization  charges related to the
consolidated joint ventures in the current three-month period.  Depreciation and
amortization expense increased mainly due to the accelerated depreciation on the
Hacienda  Business  Park, as discussed  further  above and in the  Partnership's
Annual Report.  The improvement in revenues was mainly the result of an increase
in  rental  income  and  expense  reimbursements  from  the  consolidated  joint
ventures.  Rental  income  increased  primarily  due to an  increase  in average
occupancy at the Hacienda  Business Park and higher  average rental rates at the
Asbury Commons Apartments for the current three-month period.

                                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 Equity  Partners,  Inc. and Properties  Associates  1986, L.P.
("PA1986"),  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
