                PRUTECH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP II
                            (a limited partnership)
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1997
                                  (unaudited)
 
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 fairly present the financial
statements of PruTech Research and Development Partnership II (the
'Partnership') as of June 30, 1997, subject to the effects of any further
liquidation accounting adjustments that would have been required had the
realizable values of certain assets been known when the Partnership first
adopted the liquidation basis of accounting. (See discussion below.)
 
   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.
 
   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, holders of 68.4% of the limited partnership units approved the Plan.
Accordingly, the Plan has been adopted.
 
   In accordance with the terms of the Plan, the General Partner is proceeding
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 Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended
(the 'Partnership Agreement'). Due to the nature of certain remaining
investments of the Partnership, the General Partner is not able to predict with
any degree of certainty the timing of sales, the proceeds that will be received
or the cash amounts that may ultimately be available for distribution by the
Partnership, except as otherwise disclosed herein. It is not expected that the
Partnership's eventual total distributions will equal the partners' initial
investment.
 
   As a result of the adoption of the Plan, the Partnership adopted the
liquidation basis of accounting effective December 31, 1996, whereby assets are
valued at their estimated net realizable values and liabilities stated at their
estimated settlement amounts. However, due to the nature of certain of the
Partnership's remaining investments, the General Partner is not able to predict
with any degree of certainty the amounts which will be realized from these
investments and therefore, such assets continue to be carried at cost.
 
   Accruals totaling approximately $1,594,000 were recorded as of December 31,
1996 for the estimated costs of liquidating the Partnership which include, but
are not limited to, costs of selling or otherwise disposing of the Partnership's
remaining investments and general and administrative costs through the estimated
conclusion of liquidation. The General Partner estimates that the final
liquidation of the Partnership's remaining investments will occur by December
31, 1997.
 
   During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership reflected an
increase of $1,490,000 in the estimated net liquidation values of its assets and
liabilities, of which $46,000 was recorded during the second quarter.
Approximately $1,282,000 of the increase was attributed to the March 31, 1997
valuation of certain of the Partnership's remaining investments which were
previously carried at cost (see Notes B and C for additional discussion). The
remainder of the increase was principally attributed to market fluctuations in
the Partnership's remaining investments in equity securities, interest earned on
the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents and royalty income received. No
significant adjustments to previously recorded liability amounts were required.

<PAGE>
B. Royalties
 
   Pursuant to an agreement dated as of March 31, 1997 between the Partnership
and Ecogen Inc. ('Ecogen'), the Partnership assigned to Ecogen its right, title
and interest in and to certain technologies, products and property licensed to
Ecogen and agreed to terminate all license agreements with Ecogen (the 'Ecogen
Rights') in exchange for 136,000 shares of Ecogen common stock with an estimated
net realizable value of $484,000 as of the date of the agreement. Prior to this
agreement, the Ecogen Rights were carried at zero. The Partnership was
restricted from selling such shares until the Securities and Exchange Commission
declared the registration of the shares effective on August 11, 1997. No further
royalty payments will be received by the Partnership from Ecogen as a result of
this agreement.

   As more fully discussed in Note F, the Partnership has realized approximately
$106,000 of the June 30, 1997 $625,542 value from the sale of securities during
the third quarter through August 8, 1997. The remaining amount of approximately
$520,000 reflects the June 30, 1997 prices for securities which are marketable
and, as of August 8, 1997, fluctuations in share prices from the June 30, 1997
prices did not have a significant impact on the estimated net realizable values
of the Partnership's assets. However, there is no assurance that the Partnership
will receive these amounts in the eventual sale of these securities.
 
Ecogen Inc.
 
   During the first quarter of 1997, the Partnership sold 6,500 shares of Ecogen
common stock for approximately $25,000. The December 31, 1996 carrying amount
for Ecogen common stock reflected the net amount realized on these sales.
Additionally, pursuant to an agreement which closed March 31, 1997, the
Partnership received 136,000 shares of Ecogen common stock, as more fully
discussed in Note B. During the second quarter of 1997, the Partnership sold
95,665 shares of Ecogen common stock for approximately $300,000.
 
Synbiotics Corporation
 
   During the first quarter of 1997, the Partnership sold 167,500 shares of
Synbiotics Corporation common stock for approximately $655,000. The December 31,
1996 carrying amount for Synbiotics Corporation common stock reflected the net
amount of approximately $594,000 realized on the sales of 152,500 of such shares
through March 14, 1997. During the second quarter of 1997, the Partnership sold
108,900 shares of Synbiotics Corporation common stock for approximately $396,000
and, subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining 16,603
shares for approximately $69,000 as discussed in Note F.

Silicon Valley Research, Inc.
 
   During the second quarter of 1997, the Partnership sold 77,000 shares of
Silicon Valley Research, Inc. common stock for approximately $82,000. Subsequent
to June 30, 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining 7,614 shares of Silicon
Valley Research, Inc. for approximately $7,000 as discussed in Note F.
 
Optical Specialties, Inc.
 
   During June 1997, the Partnership sold 17,360 shares of Optical Specialties,
Inc. common stock, which had been carried at a cost basis of zero, for $700.
 
Biocompatibles International plc
 
   On February 7, 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining 942,045 shares of
Biocompatibles International plc common stock for approximately $18,557,000
representing the liquidation of the most significant remaining asset of the
Partnership. The December 31, 1996 carrying amount of this investment reflected
the net amount realized on this sale.
 
Navigation Technologies Corporation
 
   During April 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining 2,284,541 shares of
Navigation Technologies Corporation ('Navigation Technologies') common stock,
which had been carried at a cost basis of $2,218 at December 31, 1996, for
approximately $800,000.
 
Texas Biotechnology Corporation
 
   During July 1997, the Partnership exercised its options to purchase 7,980
shares of Texas Biotechnology Corporation common stock which the Partnership
sold during August for $46,000 as discussed in Note F.
 
D. Related Parties
 
   The General Partner and its affiliates perform certain services for the
Partnership (for which they are reimbursed through the management fee) which
include but are not limited to: accounting and financial management; registrar,
transfer and assignment functions; asset management; investor communications and
other administrative services. The Partnership also reimburses an affiliate of
the General Partner for printing services. These costs and expenses were
approximately $1,005,000 and $501,000 for the six and three months ended June
30, 1996.
 
   Additionally, in conjunction with the adoption of the liquidation basis of
accounting, the Partnership recorded an accrual for the estimated future costs
expected to be incurred to liquidate the Partnership. Included in these
liquidation cost estimates as of December 31, 1996 are approximately $1,507,000
expected to be charged by the General Partner and its affiliates during the
anticipated liquidation period. The actual charges will depend primarily upon
the length of the time required to liquidate the Partnership and may differ from
the amount accrued; however, no significant adjustment to such estimated costs
has been made as of June 30, 1997.
 
   Prudential Securities Incorporated, an affiliate of the General Partner,
owned 340 limited partnership units at June 30, 1997.
 
   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. Contingencies
 
   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
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
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 liquidate the Partnership in accordance with the Plan and in the
time frame currently contemplated by the General Partner.
 
F. Subsequent Events
 
   During July 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining 16,603 shares of
Synbiotics Corporation common stock for approximately $69,000. Also, during July
1997, the Partnership exercised its options to purchase 3,157 shares of Texas
Biotechnology Corporation common stock at an exercise price of $1.38 per share
and 4,823 shares at an exercise price of $2.40 per share for a total cost of
approximately $16,000. On August 5, 1997, the Partnership sold all of its shares
of Texas Biotechnology Corporation common stock for $46,000. Additionally, on
August 5, 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining 7,614 shares of Silicon
Valley Research, Inc. common stock for approximately $7,000. The June 30, 1997
carrying amount for these investments reflects the net amount realized from
these sales.

      ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
   At June 30, 1997, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $3,432,000 which is approximately $1,286,000 less than the
Partnership's cash balance at December 31, 1996. This decrease in cash was
primarily due to distributions made in excess of proceeds from the sales of
certain investments in equity securities as further discussed below, in addition
to the payment of the fourth quarter 1996 and first quarter 1997 management
fees.
 
   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 is proceeding 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 certain remaining investments
of the Partnership, the General Partner is not able to predict with any degree
of certainty the timing of sales, the proceeds that will be received or the cash
amounts that may ultimately be available for distribution by the Partnership
except as otherwise disclosed herein. It is not expected that the Partnership's
eventual total distributions will equal the partners' initial investment. The
General Partner estimates that the final liquidation of the remaining
investments will occur by December 31, 1997.
 
   During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership reflected an
increase of $1,490,000 in the estimated net liquidation values of its assets and
liabilities, of which $46,000 was recorded during the second quarter.
Approximately $1,282,000 of the increase was attributed to the March 31, 1997
valuation of the Partnership's remaining investments in Ecogen and Navigation
Technologies which were previously carried at cost as further discussed below.
The remainder of the increase was principally attributed to market fluctuations
in the Partnership's remaining investments in equity securities, interest earned
on the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents and royalty income received. No
significant adjustments to previously recorded liability amounts were required.
 
   As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership had investments in equity securities
with an estimated net realizable value of approximately $626,000, of which
approximately $106,000 has been realized from the sale of securities in the
third quarter through August 8, 1997 as discussed below. Certain of the
Partnership's remaining investments are in development stage companies which are
more speculative and higher in risk than other equity investments. The
realization of the estimated net realizable value of these remaining equity
securities is further impacted by certain sale restrictions and market volume
capacity. The Partnership also holds royalty positions whose values are not
readily determinable and, as such, these assets are carried at zero. 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 value of its remaining
equity securities can be realized, the sale proceeds or revenue stream from
royalties, and, to a lesser extent, interest income.
 
   Pursuant to an agreement dated as of March 31, 1997 between the Partnership
and Ecogen Inc. ('Ecogen'), the Partnership assigned to Ecogen its right, title
and interest in and to certain technologies, products and property licensed to
Ecogen and agreed to terminate all license agreements with Ecogen (the 'Ecogen
Rights') in exchange for 136,000 shares of Ecogen common stock with an estimated
net realizable value of $484,000 as of the date of the agreement. Prior to this
agreement, the Ecogen Rights were carried at zero. The Partnership was
restricted from selling such shares until the Securities and Exchange Commission
declared the registration of the shares effective on August 11, 1997. No further
royalty payments will be received by the Partnership from Ecogen as a result of
this agreement.
 
   In February 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining 942,045 share of
Biocompatibles International plc common stock for approximately $18,557,000
representing the liquidation of the most significant remaining asset of the
Partnership.

   During the first quarter of 1997, the Partnership sold 6,500 shares of Ecogen
common stock and 167,500 shares of Synbiotics Corporation common stock for
approximately $25,000 and $655,000, respectively.
 
   In February 1997, the Partnership made distributions of $16,666,667 and
$4,444,444 of which $15,000,000 ($150 per unit) and $4,000,000 ($40 per unit),
respectively, were paid to the limited partners and the remainder to the General
Partner.
 
   During the second quarter of 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining shares
of Navigation Technologies common stock, 95,665 shares of Ecogen common stock,
108,900 shares of Synbiotics Corporation common stock, 77,000 shares of Silicon
Valley Research, Inc. common stock, and 17,360 shares of Optical Specialties,
Inc. common stock for approximately $800,000, $300,000, $396,000, $82,000 and
$700, respectively.
 
   During July 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining 16,603 shares of
Synbiotics Corporation common stock for approximately $69,000. Also, during July
1997, the Partnership exercised its options to purchase 3,157 shares of Texas
Biotechnology Corporation common stock at an exercise price of $1.38 per share
and 4,823 shares at an exercise price of $2.40 per share for a total cost of
approximately $16,000. On August 5, 1997, the Partnership sold all of its shares
of Texas Biotechnology Corporation common stock for $46,000. Additionally, on
August 5, 1997, the Partnership sold its remaining 7,614 shares of Silicon
Valley Research, Inc. common stock for approximately $7,000. The June 30, 1997
carrying amount for these investments reflects the net amount realized from
these sales.
 
Results of Operations
 
   The Partnership adopted the liquidation basis of accounting as of December
31, 1996 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and no
longer reports results of operations. As such, there is no management's
discussion comparing the corresponding 1997 and 1996 periods.
