NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS
September 30, 2000
(Unaudited)
A. General
These financial statements have been prepared without audit. In the opinion
of Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc. ('Managing General Partner') ('PBP'), the
statements of net assets as of September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 contain
all adjustments necessary to present fairly such information in accordance with
the liquidation basis of accounting. Prudential-Bache/Watson & Taylor, Ltd.-2
(the 'Partnership') first adopted the liquidation basis of accounting as of
October 1, 1996. Accordingly, the net assets of the Partnership are stated at
liquidation value, i.e., the assets have been valued at their estimated fair
values, net of selling expenses, and the liabilities include estimated amounts
to be incurred through the date of liquidation of the Partnership, which is in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
The actual remaining net proceeds from liquidation will depend upon a variety of
factors and are likely to differ from the estimated amounts reflected in the
accompanying financial statements.
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, 1999.
In accordance with a consent statement dated September 17, 1996, the limited
partners approved, on October 18, 1996, the sale of all eight miniwarehouse
facilities owned by the Partnership to Public Storage, Inc. ('Public'), and the
liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership. Seven of the eight properties
which were under contract were sold to Public and its affiliates on December 16,
1996.
The Partnership continues to own the Hampton Park property located in Capitol
Heights, Maryland. In conjunction with the contract of sale of the property to
Public, as described above, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was
performed in the first quarter of 1996 by Law Engineering and Environmental
Services, Inc. ('LAW'), which identified one of the tenants as a potential
environmental concern. As a result, the property was not sold to Public.
LAW, at the request of the Partnership, performed a Phase II Environmental
Site Assessment which was completed in June 1996. Analysis of soil and ground
water samples collected at the site in this assessment indicated detectable
levels of tetrachloroethene ('PCE'). LAW, at the request of the Partnership,
reported the PCE release to the Maryland Department of the Environment ('MDE').
The MDE requested that a limited subsurface assessment be performed to evaluate
the potential impact to subsurface soil and ground water. Since this 1996
assessment, there have been additional groundwater sampling events performed
each quarter. Based upon the results of these tests, the Partnership has
continued its quarterly monitoring of the property and will continue to do so
until further direction is provided by the MDE.
As of September 30, 2000, the Statement of Net Assets reflects an accrued
liability of $500,000 which represents the Partnership's best estimate of the
obligation regarding the environmental issues mentioned above. The amount
includes costs associated with an active remediation program over a five-year
period. It is reasonably possible that the loss exposure will be in excess of
the amount accrued and will be material to the Partnership and may possibly
change in the near future. However, it is uncertain at this time what will
ultimately be required to resolve the environmental issue at the property. It is
the Partnership's intention to sell the property and distribute any remaining
funds to the partners at such time; however, because of the environmental
problem it is uncertain when any such sale could be consummated.
The General Partners are presently exploring the possibility of selling the
Hampton Park property to entities which specialize in the purchase of
contaminated properties albeit at a discount but with complete indemnification
for any liability in connection with remediation of the contamination of the
property.
In conjunction with the liquidation basis of accounting, the Partnership has
recorded an accrual as of September 30, 2000 for the estimated costs expected to
be incurred to liquidate the Partnership. Due to the nature of the Hampton Park
environmental issue, the date of liquidation is uncertain. However, the
Partner-
3
<PAGE>
ship has utilized a March 31, 2001 date for purposes of estimating costs through
the conclusion of liquidation. The actual charges to be incurred by the
Partnership will depend primarily upon the length of time required to liquidate
the Partnership's remaining net assets, and may differ from the amounts accrued
as of September 30, 2000. An additional accrual of $85,000 was made during the
quarter ended June 30, 2000, reflecting a change in the date utilized for
estimating liquidation costs from December 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001.
Net Assets in liquidation increased $183,000 and $99,000 during the nine and
three months ended September 30, 2000, respectively. These increases were
primarily the result of income from operations of the Hampton Park property, and
to a lesser extent, interest income. The $183,000 increase for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 reflects the additional $85,000 accrual of liquidation
expenses discussed above.
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.
Included in the Estimated Liquidation Costs as of September 30, 2000
reflected in the Statement of Net Assets is $116,000 expected to be payable to
the General Partners and their affiliates during the anticipated remaining
liquidation period. See Note A for a further discussion regarding the
Partnership's estimated liquidation costs.
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.
Prudential Securities Incorporated, an affiliate of PBP, owns 180 limited
partnership units at September 30, 2000.

Results of Operations
As a result of the Partnership adopting the liquidation basis of accounting
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as of October 1,
1996, the Partnership no longer reports results of operations.
