                    PRUDENTIAL-BACHE/WATSON & TAYLOR, LTD.-2
                            (a limited partnership)
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1997
                                  (Unaudited)
 
A. General
 
   These financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion
of Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc. ('Managing General Partner') ('PBP'), the
financial statements for the period ended March 31, 1997 contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly such information subject to the effects of any
further liquidation accounting adjustments that would have been required had the
current realizable values of assets and the amounts of liabilities been known
when Prudential-Bache/Watson & Taylor, Ltd.-2 (the 'Partnership') first adopted
the liquidation basis of accounting as of October 1, 1996. Prior to October 1,
1996, the books and records of the Partnership were maintained on a going
concern accrual basis of accounting.
 
   The Partnership continues to own the Hampton Park property located in Capitol
Heights, Maryland. This property evidenced certain concentrations of hazardous
materials discovered in an environmental review of the property. The State
environmental regulatory department continues to monitor the property, but it is
uncertain at this time what will ultimately be required to resolve the
environmental issue at the property. There are no assurances that a buyer can be
found for the Hampton Park property until the environmental issue is resolved.
Therefore, it uncertain when the final sale of this property will be
accomplished.
 
   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, 1996.
 
B. Related Parties
 
   PBP and its affiliates perform services for the Partnership which include,
but are not limited to: accounting and financial management, transfer and
assignment functions, asset management, investor communications, printing and
other administrative services. PBP 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 incurred
on behalf of the Partnership which are reimbursable to PBP and its affiliates
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were approximately $30,000.
 
   Affiliates of Messrs. Watson and Taylor, the individual General Partners,
also perform certain administrative and monitoring functions on behalf of the
Partnership. The Partnership recorded approximately $6,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, relating to the reimbursement of these services.
 
   Estimated liquidation costs payable to the General Partners and their
affiliates were approximately $140,000 as of March 31, 1997 and December 31,
1996.
 
   PBP and the two individual General Partners of the Partnership own 258, 130
and 130 equivalent limited partnership units, respectively. PBP receives funds
from the Partnership, such as General Partner distributions and reimbursement of
expenses, but has waived all of its rights resulting from its ownership of
equivalent limited partnership units. Accordingly, the 258 units owned by PBP
have been excluded from the calculation of net income per limited partnership
unit and distributions per limited partnership unit.
 
   Prudential Securities Incorporated, an affiliate of PBP, owns 180 limited
partnership units at March 31, 1997.
 
C. Contingencies
 
   On March 5, 1997, a lawsuit captioned Madison Partnership Liquidity Investors
VIII, LLC ('Madison') v. Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc. was filed in the
Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. The suit alleges a breach of
contract with Madison and a breach of fiduciary duty to Madison, as well as
intentional interference with the contract between Madison and the purported
tendering limited partners. The suit seeks injunctive and declaratory relief
demanding that the Partnership's transfer agent effectuate the purported
transfers to Madison, pursuant to the tender offer made by Madison to the
limited partners. The lawsuit does not name the Partnership as a defendant but
does name the Partnership's Managing General Partner. The distribution amounts
in excess of Madison's tender offer price, with respect to the units that are
the subject of this lawsuit, have been escrowed by the Partnership's transfer
agent pending a resolution of this issue. PBP has filed an answer to the
complaint.

                            (a limited partnership)
           ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
   In accordance with the Consent Statement dated September 17, 1996, the
limited partners approved, on October 18, 1996, the sale to Public Storage, Inc.
of all eight miniwarehouse facilities owned by the Partnership and the
liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership. Seven of the eight properties
which were under contract were sold to Public Storage, Inc. and its affiliates
on December 16, 1996.
 
   The Partnership continues to own the Hampton Park property located in Capitol
Heights, Maryland. This property evidenced certain concentrations of hazardous
materials discovered in an environmental review of the property. The State
environmental regulatory department continues to monitor the property, but it is
uncertain at this time what will ultimately be required to resolve the
environmental issue at the property. There are no assurances that a buyer can be
found for the Hampton Park property until the environmental issue is resolved.
Therefore, it is uncertain when the final sale of this property will be
accomplished.
 
   A distribution of $300 per limited partnership unit was made on December 19,
1996 representing the net sales proceeds reduced by a contingency reserve and
funds required to meet the anticipated current and future operating costs until
the liquidation of the Partnership. The Partnership intends to liquidate in
1997, subject to the prior sale of the Hampton Park property, and will
distribute any remaining funds at such time. In accordance with the Partnership
Agreement, such distributions to partners will be made based upon each partner's
capital account for Federal income tax purposes. Estimated costs expected to be
incurred through the date of liquidation of the Partnership have been accrued in
the accompanying financial statements.
 
Results of Operations
 
   As a result of the Partnership adopting liquidation accounting in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles as of October 1, 1996 and thus not
reporting results of operations thereafter, there is no management discussion
comparing the corresponding 1997 and 1996 periods.
