                            (a limited partnership)
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1998
                                  (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 December 31, 1998 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.-3 (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.
 
   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
should 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 September 30, 1998.
 
   The Partnership continues to own an undeveloped land parcel (I35/I20) located
in Dallas, Texas. The Partnership intends to sell the property as soon as
possible; however, no buyer for the property has been identified and it is
uncertain when any such sale will be consummated.
 
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, management of the Partnership's unimproved property,
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. Affiliates of Messrs. Watson and Taylor, the individual General
Partners, also perform certain administrative and monitoring functions on behalf
of the Partnership.
 
   In conjunction with the liquidation basis of accounting, the Partnership has
recorded an accrual as of December 31, 1998 for the estimated costs expected to
be incurred to liquidate the Partnership. Included in these estimated
liquidation costs is $71,000 expected for reimbursement to the General Partners
and their affiliates during the anticipated remaining liquidation period. 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 December 31, 1998.
 
   PBP and the two 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, the 270 units owned by PBP
have been excluded from the calculation of distributions per limited partnership
unit.
 
   Prudential Securities Incorporated, an affiliate of PBP, owns 253 limited
partnership units at December 31, 1998.

           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
Partnership sold substantially all of its properties on October 31, 1996. The
Partnership has retained funds for a contingency reserve and to meet current and
future operating costs until the liquidation of the Partnership. The Partnership
continues to own an undeveloped land parcel located in Dallas, Texas. The
Partnership intends to liquidate as soon as possible, subject to the sale of the
remaining undeveloped land parcel, and will distribute any remaining funds at
such time. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, such distributions to
partners will be based upon each partners' 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 the liquidation basis of accounting
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as of October 1,
1996 and thus not reporting results of operations thereafter, coupled with the
sale of substantially all of the properties in October 1996, there is no
management discussion comparing the corresponding 1998 and 1997 periods.
 
Year 2000
 
   The Partnership has considered, and is taking appropriate actions to address,
the possible adverse effects of the Year 2000 on its systems and operations.
Accordingly, the Partnership believes the Year 2000 will not have significant
adverse effects on its systems and operations.
