Item 1. Business
 
General
 
   Prudential-Bache/Watson & Taylor, Ltd.-3 (the ``Registrant''), a Texas
limited partnership, was formed on November 13, 1984 and will terminate on
December 31, 2050 unless terminated sooner under the provisions of the Amended
and Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership (the ``Partnership
Agreement''). The Registrant was formed for the purpose of acquiring, owning,
developing and operating self-storage and office/showroom warehouse complexes;
investing in unimproved commercial properties; and investing in first lien
mortgage loans on existing or to-be-constructed commercial income-producing
properties with proceeds raised through the initial sale of units of limited
partnership interest (``Units''). The Registrant's fiscal year for book and tax
purposes ends on September 30.
 
   The Registrant operates seven improved properties consisting of three
office/showroom/warehouse complexes, three mini-storage complexes, and one
office complex, along with two unimproved properties. For more information
regarding the Registrant's properties, see Item 2 Properties. For more
information regarding the Registrant's operations, see Item 7 Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
included in the Registrant's Annual Report to Limited Partners for the year
ended September 30, 1995 (``Registrant's Annual Report'') which is filed as an
exhibit hereto. The Registrant is engaged solely in the business of real estate
investment, therefore, presentation of industry segment information is not
applicable.
 
   On December 15, 1995, the Management Committee of the Partnership determined
to seek bids for all of the properties held by the Partnership. If acceptable
bids are received by the Partnership, the Partnership would enter into
agreements to sell the properties, subject to the approval of the limited
partners owning a majority of the Units, as required by the Partnership
Agreement. If such sales are approved and consummated, the Partnership would
liquidate and distribute its assets to its partners. There can, of course, be no
assurance that acceptable bids will be received or that any transactions will be
consummated.
 
   For the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, the
following improved properties' rental revenues exceeded 15% of the Registrant's
total revenue:
 
<TABLE>

La Prada                     --          --        15.2
</TABLE>
 
   No tenant accounted for 10% or more of the total revenues for any of the
three years in the period ended September 30, 1995.
 
General partners
 
   The general partners of the Registrant are Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc.
(``PBP''), George S. Watson and A. Starke Taylor, III (collectively, the
``General Partners''). PBP is the Managing General Partner and is responsible
for the day-to-day operations of the Registrant and its investments. See Note F
of the financial statements in the Registrant's Annual Report which is filed as
an exhibit hereto.
 
Competition
 
   The General Partners and/or their affiliates have formed, and may continue to
form, various entities to engage in businesses which may be competitive with the
Registrant.
 
   The Registrant competes with national and regional real estate owners and
operators, some of whom have significantly more experience and resources than
the Registrant. Such owners and operators may include insurance companies,
mortgage banks, pension funds, and other real estate investors, including
foreign investors, syndicated partnerships, and real estate investment trusts.
The primary factors affecting a particular property's ability to successfully
compete against other properties include the location of such property, the
suitability of its design to a prospective tenant's needs, the manner in which
it is managed and
                                       3
<PAGE>
marketed, and rental rates. The extent to which the Registrant is affected by
competition will depend in significant part on existing market conditions. The
property managers, Public Storage Management, Inc., and Public Storage
Commercial Properties Group, Inc. manage other properties which compete with the
Registrant's properties within the same geographical area.
 
Employees
 
   The Registrant has no employees. Management and administrative services for
the Registrant are performed by the General Partners and their affiliates
pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. The General Partners and/or their
affiliates receive compensation and reimbursement of expenses in connection with
such activities as described in Section 11.7 of the Partnership Agreement. See
Note F of the financial statements in the Registrant's Annual Report which is
filed as an exhibit hereto.
 
Item 2. Properties
 
   As of September 30, 1995 the Registrant owns the following properties:

   The Registrant originally acquired seven properties for an aggregate purchase
price (including acquisition fees) of $15,880,415. Three unimproved properties
were subsequently acquired through foreclosure proceedings following the default
by the borrower under a mortgage loan in which the Registrant had a
participation interest. See Note D of the financial statements in the
Registrant's Annual Report which is filed as an exhibit hereto. One of the
unimproved properties acquired by the Partnership has been sold.

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Units and Related Limited Partner Matters
 
   As of December 13, 1995, there were 3,347 holders of record owning 53,855
Units, inclusive of 270, 135, and 135 equivalent limited partnership units held
by PBP and Messrs. Watson and Taylor, respectively. A significant secondary
market for the Units has not developed, and it is not expected that one will
develop in the future. There are also certain restrictions set forth in Section
17.3 of the Partnership Agreement limiting the ability of a limited partner to
transfer Units. Consequently, holders of Units may not be able to liquidate
their investments in the event of an emergency or for any other reason.
 
   The following per Unit cash distributions were paid to limited partners on or
about 45 days after the end of the specified fiscal quarter.

   There are no material restrictions upon the Registrant's present or future
ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement. The Registrant currently expects that cash distributions
will continue to be paid in the forseeable future with cash generated by the
operations of the Registrant's properties. For discussion of other factors that
may affect future distributions, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Registrant's Annual Report

<PAGE>
Registrant with respect to its most recent fiscal year and written
representation pursuant to Item 405(b)(2)(i) of Regulation S-K, neither PBP nor
its directors, officers, or beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Units,
failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the most recent fiscal or prior fiscal
years. However, based on the fact that the Registrant did not receive copies of
Forms 3, 4 or 5 or a written representation pursuant to Item 405(b)(2)(i) of
Regulation S-K from the individual General Partners, the Registrant is unaware
whether the individual General Partners filed on a timely basis reports required
under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Item 11. Executive Compensation
 
   The Registrant does not pay or accrue any fees, salaries or any other form of
compensation to directors and officers of the Managing General Partner or to the
individual General Partners for their services. Certain officers and directors
of the Managing General Partner receive compensation from affiliates of the
Managing General Partner, not from the Registrant, for services performed for
various affiliated entities, which may include services performed for the

attributable to services performed for the Registrant is immaterial (see also

reimbursement to the General Partners for services provided to the Partnership).

   As of December 13, 1995, no individual General Partner or director or officer

   As of December 13, 1995, no individual General Partner or director or officer
of the Managing General Partner owns directly or beneficially any of the Units
issued by the Registrant. However, the General Partners have contributed to the
Registrant and, based on such contribution, they are allowed to participate in
the distributions to the limited partners and in the Registrant's profits and
losses in the same proportion that the General Partners' capital contribution
bears to the total capital contributions of the limited partners. The Managing
General Partner retained its right to receive funds from the Registrant, such as
General Partner distributions and reimbursement of expenses, but waived its
right to share in any limited partner cash distributions and allocation of
Registrant's profits and losses.
 
   As of December 13, 1995, no beneficial owner who is neither an individual
General Partner nor a director or officer of the Managing General Partner
beneficially owns more than five percent (5%) of the Units issued by the
Registrant.

                          REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Partners
Prudential-Bache/Watson & Taylor, Ltd.-3

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition 
of Prudential-Bache/Watson & Taylor, Ltd.-3 as of September 30, 1995 
and 1994, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners'
capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
September 30, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the 
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial condition of Prudential-Bache/Watson
& Taylor, Ltd.-3 as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended September 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                            (a limited partnership)
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1995
 
A. General
 
   Prudential-Bache/ Watson & Taylor, Ltd.-3 (the ``Partnership'') is a Texas
limited partnership formed on November 13, 1984 which will terminate on December
31, 2050 unless terminated sooner under the provisions of the Amended and
Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership (the ``Partnership
Agreement''). The Partnership was formed for the purpose of acquiring, owning,
developing and operating self-storage and office/showroom warehouse complexes;
investing in unimproved commercial properties; and investing in first lien
mortgage loans on existing or to-be-constructed commercial income-producing
properties. The general partners of the Partnership are Prudential-Bache
Properties, Inc. (``PBP''), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Securities
Group Inc., George S. Watson, and A. Starke Taylor, III (collectively, the
``General Partners''). PBP is the Managing General Partner and is responsible
for the day-to-day operations of the Partnership and its investments. At
September 30, 1995 the Partnership owned nine properties.
 
B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of accounting
 
   The books and records of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis
of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
Partnership's fiscal year for both book and tax purposes ends on September 30.
 
   Certain balances from prior years have been reclassified to conform with the
current year's financial statement presentation.
 
Property and equipment
 
   Property investments are carried at the lower of depreciated cost or
estimated amounts recoverable through future operations and ultimate disposition
of the property. Property investments are depreciated or amortized using the
straight-line method over their estimated economic lives which range from 5 to
25 years depending on property type. A valuation allowance is recorded when
estimated amounts recoverable through future operations and ultimate disposition
of the property are below depreciated cost.
 
   The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (``SFAS'') No. 121, ``Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,'' which will be
adopted by the Partnership as of October 1, 1995 for its financial statements
for the year ended September 30, 1996. Under SFAS No. 121, impairment for
properties to be held and used is determined to exist when estimated amounts
recoverable through future operations on an undiscounted basis are below the
property's carrying value. If a property is determined to be impaired, it should
be recorded at the lower of its carrying value or its fair value. For properties
that are held for sale, SFAS No. 121 proscribes that they should be reported at
the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Partnership
believes that the implementation of SFAS No. 121 will not have a material effect
on the Partnership's results of operations or financial position (see Note I).
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
   Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds whose cost approximates
market.
 
Income taxes
 
   The Partnership is not required to provide for, or pay, any Federal or state
income taxes. Income tax attributes that arise from its operations are passed
directly to the individual partners. The Partnership may be subject to other
state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates.
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
Profit and loss allocations and distributions
 
   Net operating income before depreciation is allocated 92% to the limited
partners and 8% to the General Partners. Net operating loss, provision for loss
on impairment of assets, and depreciation are allocated 99% to the limited
partners and 1% to the General Partners.
 
   Distributions of cash are made in accordance with the Partnership Agreement
and are allocated 92% to the limited partners and 8% to the General Partners.
 
   Net income (loss) per limited partnership unit for the year ended September
30, 1995 is based on 53,585 limited and equivalent units outstanding, which
excludes 270 equivalent units held by PBP (see Note F) for which PBP has waived
all of its rights therein. Prior years' per unit amounts have been restated to
eliminate the equivalent units held by PBP.
 
C. Investment in Property
 
   The Partnership's properties at September 30, 1995 and 1994 were:

</TABLE>
 
   Based upon estimated amounts recoverable through future operations and
ultimate disposition of the properties and a reduced holding period until the
properties are disposed of, an additional allowance for loss on impairment of
assets of $2,000,000 was recorded as of September 30, 1995.
 
D. Note Payable
 
   On March 5, 1986, the Partnership purchased an 88.81% participating interest
in a $5,700,000 loan (the ``Loan'') from First Commonwealth Mortgage Trust (the
``Lender'') to TriProperties, Ltd. (the ``Borrower''), an affiliate of Messrs.
Watson and Taylor. The Loan was secured by the Mt. Holly, Eastgate and Quail
Valley properties (collectively, the ``Mortgaged Properties'').
 
   On December 5, 1988, following the default by the Borrower under the Loan,
the Partnership and the Lender entered into an agreement whereby the Lender
assigned the note evidencing the Loan to the Partnership in exchange for the
Partnership's issuance to the Lender of a promissory note in the amount of
$638,000. The Partnership's promissory note bears interest, payable quarterly,
at a rate equal to 11.19% of net cash flow from the Mortgaged Properties and the
full amount thereof is due on January 30, 1999, the maturity date of the Loan.
Subsequently, the Partnership foreclosed and took title to each of the Mortgaged
Properties and granted a first lien on such properties to the Lender as
collateral for the Partnership's $638,000 promissory note.
 
   Interest expense on the promissory note was $53,130, $36,058 and $40,662 for
the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

E. Minimum Future Lease Revenues
 
   The Partnership earns a portion of its rental income from month-to-month
leasing arrangements; however, the Partnership also has certain noncancellable
operating leases with tenants at the Partnership's properties. The minimum
future rental revenues receivable under these noncancellable operating leases at
the Partnership's improved properties are approximately $516,000 and $136,000
for the years ending September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
 
F. 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 (including direct management of the
Partnership's unimproved properties), 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 years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were approximately
$97,000, $102,000, and $89,000, respectively.
 
   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 $25,850 relating to the reimbursement for
these services for the period from November 1988 through December 1993 during
the three months ended March 31, 1994. Beginning January 1, 1994, the
Partnership has incurred $1,250 quarterly for the continuing reimbursement of
these services.
 
   PBP and Messrs. Watson and Taylor, the individual General Partners of the
Partnership, own 270, 135 and 135 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, limited partner distributions per Unit and net income (loss) per
Unit are calculated net of 270 equivalent limited partnership Units.
 
   Prudential Securities Incorporated (``PSI''), an affiliate of PBP, owns 253
limited partnership units at September 30, 1995.
 
G. Income Taxes
 
   The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) for financial
reporting purposes to net income for tax reporting purposes for the years ended
September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively:

H. Contingencies
 
   By order of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation dated April 14,
1994, a number of purported class actions then pending in various federal
district courts were transferred to a single judge of the United States
                                       9
 <PAGE>
<PAGE>
District Court for the Southern District of New York and consolidated for
pretrial proceedings under the caption In re Prudential Securities Incorporated
Limited Partnerships Litigation (MDL Docket No. 1005).
 
   On June 8, 1994 plaintiffs in the transferred cases filed a complaint that
consolidated the previously filed complaints and named as defendants, among
others, PSI, certain of its present and former employees, and PBP. The
Partnership was not named a defendant in the consolidated complaint, but the
name of the Partnership was listed as being among the limited partnerships at
issue in the case. On August 9, 1995 PBP, PSI and other Prudential defendants
entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Partial Compromise and Settlement
with legal counsel representing plaintiffs in the consolidated actions. The
court preliminarily approved the settlement agreement by order dated August 29,
1995 and, following a hearing held November 17, 1995, found that the agreement
was fair, reasonable, adequate and in the best interests of the plaintiff class.
The court gave final approval to the settlement, certified a class of purchasers
of specific limited partnerships, including the Partnership, released all
settled claims by members of the class against the PSI settling defendants and
permanently barred and enjoined class members from instituting, commencing or
prosecuting any settled claim against the released parties. The full amount due
under the settlement agreement has been paid by PSI.
 
I. Subsequent Event
 
   In November 1995, distributions of approximately $67,000 and $6,000 were paid
to the Limited Partners and the General Partners, respectively, for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995.
 
J. Event Subsequent to Date of Auditors' Report
 
   On December 15, 1995, the Management Committee of the Partnership determined
to seek bids for all of the properties held by the Partnership. If acceptable
bids are received by the Partnership, the Partnership would enter into
agreements to sell the properties, subject to the approval of the limited
partners owning a majority of the Units, as required by the Partnership
Agreement. If such sales are approved and consummated, the Partnership would
liquidate and distribute its assets to its partners. There can, of course, be no
assurance that acceptable bids will be received or that any transactions will be
consummated.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
   The Partnership owns and operates three office/showroom/warehouse facilities,
three mini-storage complexes, and one office facility, along with two parcels of
undeveloped land. On December 15, 1995, the Management Committee of the
Partnership determined to seek bids for all of the properties held by the
Partnership. If acceptable bids are received by the Partnership, the Partnership
would enter into agreements to sell the properties, subject to the approval of
the limited partners owning a majority of the Units, as required by the
Partnership Agreement. If such sales are approved and consummated, the
Partnership would liquidate and distribute its assets to its partners. There
can, of course, be no assurance that acceptable bids will be received or that
any transactions will be consummated.
 
   During the year ended September 30, 1995 (``fiscal 1995''), the Partnership's
cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately $299,000 to $1,008,000 due
to cash flows from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 in excess
of distributions and capital expenditures and cash retained for future property
improvements. Distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 
1995 totaled approximately $364,000, of which $335,000 and $29,000 were 
paid to the limited partners and General Partners, respectively. These 
distributions were funded from cash generated by the operations of its 
properties.
 
   The Partnership believes that it will continue to be able to meet its cash
requirements in the foreseeable future with cash generated by the operations of
its properties. However, the Partnership's ability to make future distributions
to the partners and the amount of the distributions that may be made will be
affected by the amount of cash generated by the Partnership from operations of
the properties, the amount expended for capital improvements and the amount set
aside for budgeted capital improvements.
 
   Capital improvements are currently budgeted at approximately $256,000 for
calendar year 1996. Included in the calendar year 1996 budget, is an estimate
for a roof replacement at the Eastgate property, the need for which has been
accelerated by storm damage.
 
Results of Operations
 
   Average occupancies for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993
were as follows:

</TABLE>
 
  (Occupancies are calculated by dividing occupied units by available units.)
 
1995 vs. 1994
 
   Net income decreased by approximately $1,972,000 for fiscal 1995 as compared
to the year ended September 30, 1994 (``fiscal 1994'') primarily due to the
additional $2,000,000 allowance for loss on impairment of assets as further
discussed in Note C to the financial statements. Before the provision for loss
on impairment of assets, net income increased by approximately $28,000 for
fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal 1994 for the reasons discussed below.
 
   Rental income increased by approximately $63,000 for fiscal 1995 as compared
to fiscal 1994. Rental income increased at the Eastgate, Quail Valley, and Mt.
Holly properties primarily due to increased average occupancies. Rental income
was up at Tulsa Peoria and Barrow Road due to increased rental rates. Rental
income at La Prada and Westheimer remained stable as lower occupancies offset
higher rental rates.
                                       11
<PAGE>
 
   Interest income increased approximately $7,000 during fiscal 1995 as compared
to fiscal 1994 because of increases in average cash balances available to be
invested in short-term investments.
 
   Property operating expenses increased approximately $35,000 during fiscal
1995 as compared to fiscal 1994 primarily due to increases in property payroll
costs at Westheimer, Tulsa Peoria, La Prada, and Quail Valley partially offset
by decreases in repairs and maintenance and utilities expenses at the majority
of the properties.
 
   General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $19,000 during
fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal 1994 primarily due to the accrual of prior
periods' general, administrative and monitoring expense reimbursements in the
second quarter of fiscal 1994 as further discussed in Note F to the financial
statements offset by increased professional fees and by increased office
expenses at the property level.
 
   Interest expense on the Partnership's note payable is calculated as a
percentage of net cash flow from the three properties (Eastgate, Quail Valley
and Mt. Holly) which collateralize the note. Interest expense increased by
approximately $17,000 in fiscal 1995 as compared to fiscal 1994 as a result of
increased cash flows from operations at the three properties.
 
1994 vs. 1993
 
   Net income decreased by approximately $9,000 for fiscal 1994 as compared to
the year ended September 30, 1993 (``fiscal 1993'') for the reasons discussed
below.
 
   Rental income increased approximately $56,000 for fiscal 1994 as compared to
fiscal 1993 primarily due to additional revenue derived from the Quail Valley,
Eastgate and Mt. Holly properties resulting from increased average occupancies.
Rental income at the Barrow Road, Westheimer and La Prada properties remained
stable from year to year. Rental income at the Tulsa Peoria property decreased
due to lower average occupancies.
 
   Other income increased approximately $8,000 during fiscal 1994 as compared to
fiscal 1993 primarily due to billboard advertising revenue recognized during the
current period.
 
   Property operating expenses increased by approximately $94,000 during fiscal
1994 as compared to fiscal 1993 due to increases in repairs and maintenance,
property-related payroll expenses and leasing commissions of approximately
$41,000, $26,000, and $9,000, respectively, as well as increases in insurance
and utilities of approximately $7,000 and $21,000, respectively, due to higher
rates.
 
   Real estate taxes decreased approximately $33,000 due to reassessed property
values, and to a lesser extent, lower tax rates during fiscal 1994.
 
   General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $15,000 in
fiscal 1994 as compared to fiscal 1993 primarily due to the accrual of current
and prior periods' general, administrative and monitoring expense reimbursements
in the second quarter of fiscal 1994 as further discussed in Note F to the
financial statements. This increase was partially offset by lower professional
fees.
