   respectively,  carry a coupon  interest  rate of 7.5% per annum  and  include
   loans with  scheduled  maturities in March 2022.  The loans included in these
   GNMA pool programs may be prepaid, without penalty, at any time.

      As of July 31,  1994,  the  Partnership  applied of Statement of Financial
   Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
   Equity  Securities"  (SFAS No.  115) to account for its  investments  in debt
   securities.  Under the  provisions of SFAS No. 115,  investments  in debt and
   equity   securities   are   classified   as   either   trading    securities,
   held-to-maturity,  or available for sale based on management's  intentions as
   to their ultimate  disposition.  The Partnership's  debt securities have been
   classified  as available  for sale as of April 30, 1996 and July 31, 1995 and
   are stated at estimated  market  value on the  accompanying  balance  sheets.
   Unrealized holding gains or losses on securities  classified as available for
   sale are  reported  as a net  amount in a  separate  component  of  partners'
   capital until  realized.  In accordance with SFAS No. 115, the net unrealized
   holding gain or loss as of the date that the  statement was first applied was
   recorded as an adjustment of the balance of the separate component of equity.
   Unrealized holding losses recognized for the nine months ended April 30, 1996
   (including  unrealized  losses on Participating  Insured Mortgage Loans - see
   Note 3) totalled  $48,000.  Cumulative net  unrealized  holding gains for the
   Partnership's  debt  securities  (including  Participating  Insured  Mortgage
   Loans)  totalled  $735,000  and $783,000 at April 30, 1996 and July 31, 1995,
   respectively. Investments in MBS are valued based on quoted market prices.

3.  Investments in Participating Insured Mortgage Loans

        Participating   Insured   Mortgage  Loans  secured  by  GNMA  securities
    outstanding  at  April  30,  1996 and July  31,  1995 are  comprised  of the
    following invested amounts at amortized cost (in thousands):

                                                       =======       ========

        As of April 30, 1996 and July 31, 1995,  the  aggregate  market value of
    the  Partnership's  Participating  Insured Mortgage Loans was  approximately
    $18,566,000 and $18,639,000,  respectively.  As discussed further in Note 2,
    the  Partnership's  investments in debt  securities are carried at estimated
    market  value  as of April  30,  1996 and  July  31,  1995.  Investments  in
    Participating Insured Mortgage Loans, for which quoted market prices are not
    available, are valued by an independent pricing service which determines the
    valuations  based  on the  reported  financial  results  of  the  underlying
    properties  and a comparison  of recent  market  trades of  securities  with
    similar characteristics.

        Descriptions of the properties  financed by the Partnership's  loans and
    of the loan investments themselves are summarized below:

         Quarter Mill Apartments

         The  Partnership  acquired a Participating  Insured  Mortgage Loan with
    respect to a 266-unit  apartment  complex  known as Quarter Mill  Apartments
    located in Richmond, Virginia (the "Virginia Project").  Construction of the
    Virginia Project was completed in November of 1990.  Initial closing of this
    Participating  Insured  Mortgage  loan took  place on August  2,  1989.  The
    Project  Owner  is  Amurcon   Corporation.   The  Base   Component  of  this
    Participating  Insured  Mortgage Loan is coinsured by FHA and represented by
    GNMA  Securities  with an  initial  face  value of  $7,316,600,  which  GNMA
    Securities  bore interest at the rate of 10.25% during  construction  of the
    Virginia  Project  and  8.50%   thereafter.   Effective  May  1,  1991,  the
    construction loan was converted to a permanent loan with a principal balance
    of  $6,525,000.  On  June  21,  1991  an  additional  $791,600  was  funded,
    completing the Partnership's  investment of $7,316,600.  Scheduled principal
    repayments of $111,000 have been received through April 30, 1996.

         Emerald Cove Apartments

         The  Partnership  acquired a Participating  Insured  Mortgage Loan with
    respect to a 276-unit  apartment complex known as Emerald Cove Apartments in
    Charlotte, North Carolina (the "North Carolina Project"). Initial closing of
    this Participating Insured Mortgage Loan took place on October 16, 1989. The
    Project  Owners are Ronald Curry and Ralph  Abercia.  The Base  Component of
    this Participating Insured Mortgage Loan is coinsured by FHA and represented
    by GNMA  Securities  with an initial face value of  $10,783,900  at closing,
    which  GNMA   Securities   bore  interest  at  the  rate  of  10.25%  during
    construction  of the North  Carolina  Project and 8.75%  thereafter.  During
    fiscal  1992,  the  Partnership  funded  its  remaining  commitment  on  the
    investment of  approximately  $1,184,000  and,  effective  May 1, 1992,  the
    investment  was  converted to a permanent  loan with a principal  balance of
    $10,776,500.  The Partnership  paid a premium of $108,000 to the GNMA issuer
    to obtain the original  loan  commitment  due to the fact that the permanent
    loan  interest rate was higher than  comparable  market rates at the time of
    the  initial  closing.  The  premium  is  included  in  the  balance  of the
    Participating Insured Mortgage Loan on the accompanying balance sheet and is
    being  amortized  on  the  straight-line   method,  which  approximates  the
    effective interest method, over 15 years.  Scheduled principal repayments of
    $141,000 have been received through April 30, 1996.

4.  Related Party Transactions

        Management  fees earned by the General  Partner and its  affiliates  for
    services  rendered in managing  the business of the  Partnership  aggregated
    $168,000  and  $176,000  for the nine months  ended April 30, 1996 and 1995,
    respectively. Of these amounts, $29,000 and $30,000, respectively, represent
    additional asset management fees paid to PWPI. Accounts payable - affiliates
    at  April  30,  1996  and  July  31,  1995  includes  $30,000  and  $31,000,
    respectively,  of  management  fees  payable to the General  Partner and its
    affiliates.  Accounts  payable - affiliates  at July 31, 1995 also  includes
    $3,000 of distributions payable to the General Partner.

        Included  in general  and  administrative  expenses  for the nine months
    ended  April  30,  1996  and  1995 is  $71,000  and  $73,000,  respectively,
    representing  reimbursements  to an  affiliate  of the  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
    nine-month periods ended April 30, 1996 and 1995 is $9,000 representing fees
    earned by Mitchell Hutchins Institutional  Investors,  Inc. for managing the
    Partnership's cash assets.

               PAINEWEBBER INSURED MORTGAGE PARTNERS 1-B, L.P.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The  Partnership's  investments are structured to provide current income and
safety  of  principal.   The   Partnership's   principal   investments  in  both
Participating Insured Mortgage Loans and conventional mortgage-backed securities
are 100% guaranteed by GNMA in the event of defaults by the underlying  property
owners.  Obligations  of GNMA are  backed by the full  faith  and  credit of the
Federal government. The Partnership does face potential market risk in the event
that  the  Partnership  liquidates  its  investments  in  Participating  Insured
Mortgage Loans and  non-participating  mortgage-backed  securities  prior to the
scheduled maturity dates of such investments.  Depending on the general level of
market  interest  rates  at the  time of the  sale  of any of the  Partnership's
mortgage security investments, the market value of the investments may be higher
or  lower  than the  outstanding  principal  balances.  Nonetheless,  since  the
Partnership  is not required to be liquidated  prior to the  scheduled  maturity
dates,  management  can limit the exposure to market risk by  attempting to time
the  liquidation of the  Partnership's  investments to coincide with a period of
favorable interest rates. However, management is not prohibited from selling any
security at a loss and may do so if it is believed  that such a sale would be in
the best  interests of the  Partnership.  In addition,  the  Partnership is also
subject  to  possible  reinvestment  risk  to  the  extent  that  its  principal
investments are prepaid prior to the Partnership's  expected liquidation period.
Depending on the general  level of market  interest  rates at the time of such a
prepayment,  the Partnership or an individual Unitholder might be unable to earn
a comparable  yield on a similar  low-risk  investment upon the  reinvestment of
such funds.  Over the past several  years,  generally low market  interest rates
have prompted a high level of  refinancing  activity,  resulting in  significant
prepayments on the Partnership's  non-participating  mortgage-backed securities.
Such prepayments have reduced the Partnership's  investment income and increased
the outstanding balance of the Partnership's cash reserves over this period.

     The Partnership's  two Participating  Insured Mortgage Loans are secured by
the Emerald Cove and Quarter Mill apartment  complexes.  The occupancy  level at
Emerald Cove was 96% for the current fiscal  quarter,  up from 94% for the prior
quarter.  Occupancy at the Quarter  Mill  Apartments  during the current  fiscal
quarter was 96%, up from 95% for the prior quarter.  As discussed further in the
Annual  Report,  during  fiscal  1995  the  Project  Owner of the  Emerald  Cove
Apartments  received  an offer to  purchase  the  property.  A similar  offer to
purchase  the  property  had been  proposed  in  fiscal  1994 but  could  not be
completed.  Prepayment of the Partnership's  Participating Insured Mortgage Loan
is restricted  through March 1997 and then requires a prepayment penalty for the
next four years. Based on this sale offer, the Emerald Cove Project Owner made a
proposal to the Partnership to accept  prepayment on its  Participating  Insured
Mortgage  Loan at a  premium  in  return  for the  Partnership's  waiver  of the
prepayment restrictions.  Management had evaluated such proposal and, during the
quarter ended October 31, 1995,  had agreed to allow the  transaction.  However,
subsequent to the end of the first quarter,  the  Partnership  was notified that
the  potential  buyer and the owner were not able to agree on final  terms for a
sale and the offer to purchase the property was withdrawn.

     During the  quarter  ended  January  31,  1996,  the owner of Emerald  Cove
Apartments  received two new offers to purchase the property  and, in connection
with these  offers,  again  requested  permission  to prepay  the  Partnership's
participating loan. During the current quarter ended April 30, 1996, based on an
analysis of the economic benefits to the Partnership,  the Partnership responded
with terms on which it would  accept  prepayment  of the  Participating  Insured
Mortgage Loan. As with  previously  reported  offers,  there can be no assurance
that the proposed sale and prepayment transactions will be completed.

     The Partnership's  non-participating MBS have coupon interest rates ranging
from 7.5% to 9.5%.  Interest  rates on the two  Participating  Insured  Mortgage
Loans are at 8.5% and 8.75%.  Based on current market interest rate levels,  the
aggregate  market value of these securities would be expected to be above par as
of April 30, 1996. As discussed  further above,  fluctuations in market interest
rate levels will not result in realized  gains or losses unless the  Partnership
chooses  to  sell  its  investments   prior  to  maturity  in  secondary  market
transactions.  Such  sales  would  only be  likely  as part of a formal  plan of
liquidation for the Partnership. A prepayment of the Emerald Cove investment, if
completed,  could  initiate  such a plan  of  liquidation  prior  to the  end of
calendar 1996.  However, as noted above, the Emerald Cove borrower has failed to
close on two  previously  proposed  prepayment  transactions  and  there  are no
assurances that the currently proposed transaction will be completed.

     At April  30,  1996,  the  Partnership  had cash  and cash  equivalents  of
approximately $3,508,000.  Such amounts will be utilized for the working capital
requirements of the Partnership and for  distributions to the  Unitholders.  The
source of future  liquidity and  distributions to the Unitholders is expected to
be  primarily  through  interest  income  and  principal   repayments  from  the
Partnership's debt securities,  interest income from temporary investments,  and
to a lesser extent from reserves, contingent interest from Participating Insured
Mortgage  Loans and net project  residuals  from the sale or  refinancing of the
properties securing such investments.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended April 30, 1996

      Net income decreased by $36,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1996,
when compared to the same period in the prior year,  primarily due to a decrease
in total revenues of $43,000.  The decrease in revenues can be attributed mainly
to the decrease in interest income from Participating Insured Mortgage Loans and
non-participating MBS which aggregated $41,000. This decrease resulted primarily
from a decline in the average outstanding principal balances of such investments
due to  scheduled  principal  amortization  on all of the  debt  securities  and
prepayments on the MBS. Also partially contributing to this decrease in interest
income was an amount of contingent interest totalling $15,000 which was received
by the  Partnership  from the Quarter Mill  investment  during the quarter ended
April 30, 1995.  No  contingent  interest  payments were received in the current
three-month period.

Nine Months Ended April 30, 1996

     Net income  decreased by $104,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 1996,
when compared to the same period in the prior year,  primarily due to a decrease
in total  revenues of $98,000.  The decrease in total revenues can be attributed
to the decrease in interest income from Participating Insured Mortgage Loans and
non-participating   MBS  which  aggregated  $113,000.   This  decrease  resulted
primarily from a decline in the average  outstanding  principal balances of such
investments  due  to  scheduled  principal  amortization  on  all  of  the  debt
securities  and  prepayments  on the MBS. Also  partially  contributing  to this
decrease  in  interest  income was an amount of  contingent  interest  totalling
$37,000 which was received by the  Partnership  from the Quarter Mill investment
during the nine months ended April 30, 1995.  No  contingent  interest  payments
were received in the current  nine-month period. An increase of $15,000 in money
market interest income for the nine months ended April 30, 1996 partially offset
the decline in revenues  generated from the investments in debt securities.  The
increase in money  market  interest was mainly due to an increase in the average
outstanding  balance of the Partnership's  cash reserves  resulting from the MBS
prepayment activity.  The decrease in net income for the nine months ended April
30,  1996 was also  partly  due to an  increase  in general  and  administrative
expenses of $14,000 which resulted  mainly from an increase in certain  required
professional services in the current fiscal year.

                                Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     As  previously  disclosed,   First  Insured  Mortgage  Partners,  Inc.  and
Properties Associates 1988, L.P., the General Partners of the Partnership,  were
named as defendants in a class action lawsuit against  PaineWebber  Incorporated
("PaineWebber") and a number of its affiliates relating to PaineWebber's sale of
70 direct  investment  offerings,  including  the  offering of  interests in the
Partnership.  In January 1996,  PaineWebber signed a memorandum of understanding
with the  plaintiffs  in the class  action  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 a plan of  allocation  which the  parties
expect to submit to the court for its consideration and approval within the next
several months. Until a definitive settlement and plan of allocation is approved
by the court,  there can be no assurance  what, if any,  payment or non-monetary
benefits will be made available to unitholders in PaineWebber  Insured  Mortgage
Partners  1-B,  L.P.  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 this litigation.  At the present time, the General Partners cannot estimate
the impact,  if any, of this matter on the Partnership's  financial  statements,
taken as a whole.

     In February 1996,  approximately  150 plaintiffs  filed an action  entitled
Abbate v.  PaineWebber  Inc. in  Sacramento,  California  Superior Court against
PaineWebber   Incorporated  and  various  affiliated   entities  concerning  the
plaintiffs' purchases of various limited partnership interests,  including those
offered by the  Partnership.  The complaint  alleges,  among other things,  that
PaineWebber 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
compensatory  damages of $15 million plus punitive damages. The eventual outcome
of this  litigation  and the  potential  impact,  if any,  on the  Partnership's
unitholders cannot be determined at the present time.

Item 2. through 5.   NONE
