                  PRUTECH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP
                            (a limited partnership)
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1996
                                  (unaudited)
 
A. General
 
   These financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion
of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position of PruTech Research and Development Partnership (the ``Partnership'')
as of March 31, 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. However, the operating results
for the interim periods may not be indicative of the results expected for a full
year.
 
   In April 1996, R&D Funding Corp (the ``General Partner'') mailed to all
limited partners a Consent Solicitation Statement (the ``Statement'') asking for
their written consent to approve the liquidation and dissolution of the
Partnership, as more fully described in the Statement. It is not expected that
the Partnership's eventual total distributions will equal the partners' initial
investment.
 
   Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 1995.
 
   Certain balances for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with
current financial statement presentation.
 
B. Related Parties
 
   The General Partner and its affiliates perform services for the Partnership
which include but are not limited to: accounting and financial management;
registrar, transfer and assignment functions; asset management; investor
communications; printing and other administrative services. The General Partner
and its affiliates receive reimbursements for costs incurred in connection with
these services, the amount of which is limited by the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement. The costs and expenses were $74,481 and $42,315 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
 
   General and administrative expenses payable to the General Partner and its
affiliates (which are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities) at
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were $141,494 and $158,738, respectively.
 
   Prudential Securities Incorporated, an affiliate of R&D Funding Corp, owned
145 limited partnership units at March 31, 1996.
 
   The Partnership maintains an account with the Prudential Institutional
Liquidity Portfolio Fund, an affiliate of R&D Funding Corp, for investment of
its available cash in short-term instruments pursuant to the guidelines
established by the Partnership Agreement.
 
   The Partnership has engaged in research and development co-investment
projects with PruTech Research and Development Partnership II, PruTech Research
and Development Partnership III, and PruTech Project Development Partnership
(collectively, the ``PruTech R&D Partnerships'') for which R&D Funding Corp
serves as the general partner. The allocation of the co-investment projects'
profits or losses among the PruTech R&D Partnerships is consistent with the
costs incurred to fund the research and development projects.
 
C. Contingencies
 
   On April 15, 1994 a multiparty petition captioned Mack et al. v. Prudential
Securities Incorporated et al. (Cause No. 94-17695) was filed in the 80th
Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas, purportedly on behalf of
investors in the Partnership against the Partnership, the General Partner,
Prudential Securities Incorporated, The Prudential Insurance Company of America
and a number of other defendants. The petition alleges common law fraud and
fraud in the inducement and negligent misrepresentation in connection with the
offering of the Partnership units; negligence and breach of fiduciary duty in
connection with the
                                       5

<PAGE>
operation of the Partnership; civil conspiracy; and violations of the Federal
Securities Act of 1933 (sections 11 and 12), and of the Texas Securities and
Deceptive Trade Practices statutes. The suit seeks, among other things,
compensatory and punitive damages, costs and attorneys' fees. The ultimate
outcome of this litigation as well as the impact on the Partnership cannot
presently be determined.
 
   The General Partner, Prudential Securities Incorporated and the Partnership
believe they have meritorious defenses to the complaint and intend to vigorously
defend themselves against this action.

                            (a limited partnership)
      ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
   The Partnership's cash and cash equivalents decreased to approximately
$1,273,000 at March 31, 1996 from $1,308,000 at December 31, 1995. This decrease
was a result of the utilization of cash to reduce accrued expenses and other
liabilities.
 
   In April 1996, the General Partner mailed to all limited partners a Consent
Solicitation Statement (the ``Statement'') asking for their written consent to
approve the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership, as more fully
described in the Statement. It is not expected that the Partnership's eventual
total distributions will equal the partners' initial investment.
 
   The level of future distributions will be based primarily on the excess of
proceeds received on the sale of the Partnership's remaining assets (as further
discussed in the Statement) as well as from royalties and interest over the
operating expenses of the Partnership.
 
Results of Operations
 
   The Partnership's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996
decreased by approximately $340,000 as compared with the same period in 1995
primarily due to decreases in royalty and interest income as well as an increase
in general and administrative expenses.
 
   Royalty income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 decreased by
approximately $175,000 as compared with the same period in 1995 due primarily to
higher royalties recorded in 1995 from American Software, Inc.
 
   Interest and other income decreased for the three months ended March 31, 1996
by approximately $94,000 as compared with the same period in 1995 due primarily
to interest relating to a note receivable resulting from the Partnership's
investment in Tridom Corporation which matured in June 1995.
 
   General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $70,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared with the same period in 1995.
This increase was primarily due to professional and other costs incurred in 1996
in connection with the Statement as discussed above.
