                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 June 30, 1996
                                  (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 contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of
Prudential-Bache/Watson & Taylor, Ltd.-4 (the ``Partnership'') as of June 30,
1996 and the results of its operations for the six and three months ended June
30, 1996 and 1995, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 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.
 
   On December 15, 1995, the Management Committee of the Partnership determined
to seek bids for all the properties held by the Partnership. On June 10, 1996,
the Partnership entered into a contract with Public Storage, Inc., the current
property manager of the Partnership's properties, for the sale of substantially
all the Partnership's properties for an aggregate sales price of $12,210,000.
This sale is subject to the approval by the Unitholders holding a majority of
the depository units and certain other conditions and potential price
adjustments, including the cost to remedy any potential environmental issues. In
preparing the properties for sale, the Partnership had an environmental site
assessment performed by a qualified engineering firm for each of the
Partnership's properties. One of the Partnership's properties evidenced certain
levels of hazardous materials. The Managing General Partner is working with the
engineering firm to determine the extent of the contamination. It is uncertain
at this time what the cost of remediation or the impact on the sale of the
affected property may be. The Partnership is exploring its alternatives in
addressing this issue.
 
   The Partnership anticipates sending proxy statements in August 1996 or as
soon thereafter as practicable for the purpose of advising Unitholders of the
terms of the agreement and to solicit their consent of the proposed sale. It is
expected that, if approved, the sale will close before December 31, 1996.
Following the closing, the Partnership will make one or more cash distributions
to the Unitholders. The bulk of the distributions are expected to occur shortly
after the closing with the remainder expected to be distributed within twelve
months after the closing, at which time the Partnership would then by
liquidated.
 
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 (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 six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were approximately $66,000 and
$49,000, respectively, and for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
were approximately $32,000 and $25,000, respectively.
 
   Affiliates of Messrs. Watson and Taylor, the individual General Partners,
also perform certain administrative and monitoring functions on behalf of the
Partnership. Relating to the reimbursement of these services, the Partnership
recorded approximately $22,000 and $3,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995, respectively and for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
recorded approximately $21,000 and $1,000, respectively.
 
   Prudential Securities Incorporated (``PSI''), an affiliate of PBP, owns 391
depositary units at June 30, 1996.

C. Subsequent Event
 
   In August 1996, distributions of approximately $83,000 and $7,000 were paid
to the Unitholders and the General Partners, respectively, for the quarter 
ended June 30, 1996.

      ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
   The Partnership owns and operates five commercial properties consisting of
office warehouse/mini-warehouse and retail facilities as well as six unimproved
properties. On December 15, 1995, the Management Committee of the Partnership
determined to seek bids for all of the properties held by the Partnership. On
June 10, 1996, the Partnership entered into a contract with Public Storage,
Inc., the current property manager of the Partnership's properties, for the sale
of substantially all the Partnership's properties for an aggregate sales price
of $12,210,000. This sale is subject to the approval by the Unitholders holding
a majority of the depository units and certain other conditions and potential
price adjustments, including the cost to remedy any potential environmental
issues. In preparing the properties for sale, the Partnership had an
environmental site assessment performed by a qualified engineering firm for each
of the Partnership's properties. One of the Partnership's properties evidenced
certain levels of hazardous materials. The Managing General Partner is working
with the engineering firm to determine the extent of the contamination. It is
uncertain at this time what the cost of remediation or the impact on the sale of
the affected property may be. The Partnership is exploring its alternatives in
addressing this issue.
 
   The Partnership anticipates sending proxy statements in August 1996 or as
soon thereafter as practicable for the purpose of advising Unitholders of the
terms of the agreement and to solicit their consent of the proposed sale. It is
expected that, if approved, the sale will close before December 31, 1996.
Following the closing, the Partnership will make one or more cash distributions
to the Unitholders. The bulk of the distributions are expected to occur shortly
after the closing with the remainder expected to be distributed within twelve
months after the closing, at which time the Partnership would then be
liquidated.
 
   During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership's cash and cash
equivalents decreased by approximately $590,000 due to capital expenditures and
distributions paid to partners in excess of cash flow from operations.
Distributions of approximately $83,000 and $7,000 were paid to the Unitholders
and General Partners, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 1996.
These distributions were funded from the property's operations.
 
   The Partnership's ability to make future distributions and the amount of the
distributions that may be made will be affected not only by the amount of cash
generated by the Partnership from the operations of its properties, including
the amount expended for property improvements, but also by the amount from and
the timing of any sale of the Partnership's properties.
 
Results of Operations
 
   Average occupancy rates at the improved properties for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:

   Net income decreased by approximately $21,000 and $35,000 for the six and
three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period in the
prior year primarily for the reasons discussed below.
 
                                       7

   Rental income decreased by approximately $26,000 and $6,000 for the six and
three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period in
1995. These decreases are primarily due to lower average occupancies at all five
properties but were partially offset by increased rental income at Downtown
Business Center and Towneast Business Center primarily due to higher commercial
space rental rates.
 
   Other income decreased by approximately $23,000 and $7,000 for the six and
three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period in 1995
as a result of the decreasing number of older leases that include charges to
recover operating expenses.
 
   Property operating expenses increased by approximately $15,000 and $4,000 for
the six and three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding
period in 1995 primarily due to increases in payroll, utilities and repair and
maintenance expenses.
 
   General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $257,000 and
$170,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
corresponding period in 1995. This variance was primarily due to the accrual of
professional fees and other costs relating to the anticipated solicitation of
the consent of the Unitholders for the sale of the properties.
 
   Depreciation expense decreased by approximately $294,000 and $149,000 for the
six and three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period
in 1995 due to the reclassification of the Partnership's properties from held
for use to held for sale as of December 31, 1995. Under generally accepted
accounting principles, such properties are no longer depreciated and therefore
no depreciation expense has been recorded for the six and three months ended
June 30, 1996.
