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 II (the
``Partnership'') as of September 30, 1996, the results of its operations for the
nine and three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 and its cash flows for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. However, the operating
results for the interim periods may not be indicative of the results expected
for the full year.
 
   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.
 
   In September 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 a plan of dissolution and liquidation of the
Partnership (the ``Plan''), as more fully described in the Statement. On October
30, 1996, the Plan was approved as more fully discussed in Note F.
 
B. Royalties
 
   Pursuant to an agreement which closed January 26, 1996 between the
Partnership, an affiliate of the Partnership and Boston Scientific Corporation
(``BSX''), the Partnership and its affiliate assigned to BSX all of their
rights, titles and interests in and to certain technologies licensed to BSX and
agreed to terminate all license agreements with BSX in exchange for $4,000,000
in cash, of which the Partnership's portion was $3,472,000. No further royalty
payments will be received by the Partnership from BSX as a result of this
agreement.

   Printing costs payable to an affiliate of the General Partner (which are
included in accrued expenses and other liabilities) as of September 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995 were approximately $5,000 and $10,000, respectively.
 
   Prudential Securities Incorporated, an affiliate of the General Partner,
owned 340 limited partnership units at September 30, 1996.
 
   The Partnership maintains an account with the Prudential Institutional
Liquidity Portfolio Fund, an affiliate of the General Partner, 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, 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.
 
E. Commitments and Contingencies
 
   On June 30, 1988, the Partnership and an affiliated partnership guaranteed
for OSI $750,000 of a $1.5 million bank credit line (later changed to a term
loan) of which the Partnership was responsible for $651,000. The loan was
obtained to sustain OSI's operations. The Partnership purchased U.S. Treasury
bills which were held in escrow to collateralize its portion of the guarantee.
Prior to 1996, OSI paid $75,000 of the loan reducing the Partnership's guarantee
to $585,900. Additionally, the General Partner agreed to extend the
Partnership's guarantee in return for shares of OSI common stock as discussed in
Note C. During the three months ended June 30, 1996, OSI paid $260,400 of the
loan and during July 1996, OSI paid the balance. Therefore, the Partnership's
guarantee was eliminated and the remaining escrowed funds were released to the
Partnership.
 
   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, 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 operation of the Partnership; civil conspiracy; and
violations of the federal Securities Act of 1933 (sections 11 and 12), as
amended, 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. Additionally, the General Partner
believes that the litigation discussed above will not have an adverse impact on
its ability to
                                       8

liquidate the Partnership in accordance with the Plan and in the time frame
currently contemplated by the General Partner.
 
F. Subsequent Event
 
   Holders of 68.4% of the limited partnership units approved the Plan on
October 30, 1996. Accordingly, the Plan has been adopted. In accordance with the
terms of the Plan, the General Partner will attempt to sell or otherwise dispose
of the Partnership's remaining investments and distribute the resulting proceeds
(reduced by a working capital reserve to satisfy any liabilities or
contingencies of the Partnership) to the partners in an amount equal to their
respective capital account balances at the time of liquidation under the terms
of the Partnership Agreement. Due to the nature of the Partnership's remaining
investments, the General Partner is not able to predict with any degree of
certainty the timing of any sales, the proceeds that will be received or the
cash amounts that may ultimately be available for distribution by the
Partnership. It is not expected that the Partnership's eventual total
distributions will equal the partners' initial investment.

                            (a limited partnership)
      ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
   At September 30, 1996, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $3,664,000 which is approximately $728,000 greater than the
Partnership's cash balance at December 31, 1995. This increase in cash was
primarily due to proceeds received in 1996 relating to the termination of
royalty rights, the sale of warrant and stock rights, the sales of stock and the
release of cash held in escrow partially offset by the payment of the management
fee and the April 1996 distribution as further discussed below.
 
   In September 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 a plan of dissolution and liquidation of the
Partnership (the ``Plan''), as more fully described in the Statement. Holders of
68.4% of the limited partnership units approved the Plan on October 30, 1996 and
accordingly, the Plan has been adopted. In accordance with the terms of the
Plan, the General Partner will attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of the
Partnership's remaining investments and distribute the resulting proceeds
(reduced by a working capital reserve to satisfy any liabilities or
contingencies of the Partnership) to the partners in accordance with the terms
of the Partnership Agreement. Due to the nature of the Partnership's remaining
investments, the General Partner is not able to predict with any degree of
certainty the timing of any sales, the proceeds that will be received or the
cash amounts that may ultimately be available for distribution by the
Partnership. It is not expected that the Partnership's eventual total
distributions will equal the partners' initial investment.
 
   As of September 30, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $1.1 million
invested in equity securities with an aggregate market value which exceeded its
cost. Certain of these investments are in development stage companies which are
more speculative and higher in risk than other equity investments. Additionally,
the realization of this market value is further impacted by certain sale
restrictions and market volume capacity. As discussed in the Statement, the
amount to be distributed by the Partnership in future quarters will be based on
the extent to which the market value of its investments can be realized, the
revenue streams from royalties, and to a lesser extent, interest income.
 
   Pursuant to an agreement which closed January 26, 1996 between the
Partnership, an affiliate of the Partnership and Boston Scientific Corporation
(``BSX''), the Partnership and its affiliate assigned to BSX all of their
rights, titles and interests in and to certain technologies licensed to BSX and
agreed to terminate all license agreements with BSX in exchange for $4,000,000
in cash, of which the Partnership's portion was $3,472,000. No further royalty
payments will be received by the Partnership from BSX as a result of this
agreement.
 
   In February 1996, the Partnership sold 48,608 shares of Biocompatibles
International plc (``Biocompatibles'') common stock for approximately $396,000
resulting in a gain of approximately $384,000.
 
   During the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership sold its remaining 113,692
shares of Somatix Therapy Corporation (``Somatix'') common stock for
approximately $765,000 resulting in a gain of approximately $424,000.
 
   In April 1996, the Partnership distributed $4,444,444 to its partners from
net proceeds resulting primarily from the transactions described above. Limited
partners received $4,000,000 ($40 per unit) and the General Partner received the
remainder.
 
   During April 1996, Biocompatibles launched a rights offering to its
shareholders. Pursuant to the offering, the Partnership was entitled to purchase
one unit (stock and warrant) for every six Biocompatibles common stock shares
owned. The Partnership decided not to participate in the offering, but rather
sold the Partnership's rights. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately
$289,000.
 
   In June 1996, the Partnership sold 2,300 shares of Synbiotics Corporation
(``Synbiotics'') common stock for approximately $11,000 resulting in a gain of
approximately $7,000. During the third quarter of 1996, the Partnership sold
46,500 shares of Synbiotics common stock for approximately $191,000 resulting in
a gain of approximately $101,000.
 
                                       10

   The Partnership owned U.S. Treasury bills which were held in escrow as
collateral in connection with a guarantee of a term loan for Optical
Specialties, Inc. (``OSI''). Through June 30, 1996, OSI paid half of the
original loan. In July 1996, OSI paid the balance of the loan and the remaining
escrowed funds were released.
 
Results of Operations
 
   The Partnership's net income increased by approximately $843,000 but
decreased by $630,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1996,
respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1995. The nine month increase
was primarily due to the 1996 transactions with BSX, Somatix, Synbiotics and
Biocompatibles discussed above reduced by an increase in general and
administrative expenses during the 1996 period offset, in part, by income of
approximately $983,000 from the termination of the Partnership's royalty rights
with MacNeal Schwendler Corporation during March 1995 and gains of approximately
$1,940,000 and $227,000 on sales of common stock in Navigation Technologies
Corporation and Silicon Valley Research, Inc. during 1995. The three month
decrease was primarily due to lower royalty income and a lower gain on the sale
of investments as well as an increase in general and administrative expenses
during the 1996 period.
 
   Royalty income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1996
decreased by approximately $602,000 and $413,000 as compared to the same periods
in 1995. These decreases were due primarily to lower 1996 royalties received
from BSX (as a result of the termination of royalty rights discussed above) and
OSI.
 
   Interest and other income for the nine and three months ended September 30,
1996 increased by approximately $325,000 and $13,000 as compared with the same
periods in 1995. The nine month increase was due primarily to income from the
Biocompatibles rights offering as discussed above and the recognition of
previously deferred income upon the collection of a note receivable from Lombart
Lenses Limited, Inc. (which was recorded at a net value of $19,000) during March
1996 offset, in part, by interest recorded in 1995 in conjunction with a
promissory note which matured in June 1995 relating to the Partnership's
investment in Tridom Corporation.
 
   General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $118,000 and
$104,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared with
the same periods in 1995. These increases were due primarily to professional and
other costs incurred in 1996 in connection with the Statement as discussed
above.
