                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 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 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.
 
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 nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were approximately $93,000
and $96,000, respectively, and for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and
1995 were approximately $27,000 and $46,000, 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 $26,000 and $4,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and for the three months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 recorded approximately $4,000 and $1,000, respectively.
 
   Prudential Securities Incorporated, an affiliate of PBP, owns 391 depositary
units at September 30, 1996.
 
C. Subsequent Event
 
   In accordance with the Consent Statement dated September 17, 1996, the
Unitholders approved the sale to Public Storage, Inc. of all five
miniwarehouse/office warehouse facilities and four of the six undeveloped land
parcels owned by the Partnership. The five miniwarehouse/office warehouse
facilities and three of the four undeveloped land parcels which were under
contract were sold to Public Storage, Inc. on November 13, 1996. The Partnership
received, in cash, gross sales proceeds of $12,030,000 reduced by certain
selling expenses and pro-rations of approximately $440,000. The gross sales
price was in excess of the appraised value of the properties. The fourth land
parcel, Yancy Camp, located in Dallas, Texas, has evidenced certain
concentrations of petroleum related environmental contaminants which were
discovered in an environmental review of the property. The Managing General
Partner has reported the results of the environmental assessment to the
appropriate State environmental regulatory departments. It has been agreed that
the sale of this property to Public Storage, Inc. would be deferred in the
expectation that the Partnership will shortly receive direction from the State
environmental regulatory departments in resolving the environmental issue at the
property.
 
   A distribution is expected to be made later in November 1996 representing the
net sales proceeds reduced by a contingency reserve and funds required to meet
current and future operating costs until the
                                       5

liquidation of the Partnership. The Partnership intends to sell its remaining
land parcels and liquidate in 1997 and will distribute any remaining funds at
such time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
   In accordance with the Consent Statement dated September 17, 1996, the
Unitholders approved the sale to Public Storage, Inc. of all five
miniwarehouse/office warehouse facilities and four of the six undeveloped land
parcels owned by the Partnership. The five miniwarehouse/office warehouse
facilities and three of the four undeveloped land parcels which were under
contract were sold to Public Storage, Inc. on November 13, 1996. The Partnership
received, in cash, gross sales proceeds of $12,030,000 reduced by certain

appropriate State environmental regulatory departments. It has been agreed that
the sale of this property to Public Storage, Inc. would be deferred in the
expectation that the Partnership will shortly receive direction from the State
environmental regulatory departments in resolving the environmental issue at the
property.
 
   During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership's cash and
cash equivalents decreased by approximately $737,000 due to distributions paid
to partners (including a $649,000 distribution from the sale in December 1995 of
the Black Bob undeveloped land parcel) and capital expenditures in excess of
cash flow from property operations. Distributions made during the three months
ended September 30, 1996 totaled approximately $90,000, of which $83,000 was
paid to the Unitholders and $7,000 to the General Partners. These distributions
were funded from current and prior periods' property operations.
 
   A distribution is expected to be made later in November 1996 representing the
net proceeds from the sale of the properties reduced by a contingency reserve
and funds required to meet current and future operating costs until the
liquidation of the Partnership. The Partnership intends to sell its remaining
land parcels and liquidate in 1997 and will distribute any remaining funds at
such time.
 
Results of Operations
 
   Average occupancy rates at the improved properties for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:

           (Average occupancy rates are calculated by averaging the monthly
            occupancies determined by dividing occupied square footage by
              available square footage as  of each month-end.)
 
   Net income decreased by approximately $337,000 and $316,000 for the nine and
three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding periods
in 1995 for the reasons discussed below.
 
   A provision for loss on impairment of assets of $300,000 was recorded for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 to reflect the Partnership's property held for
sale at the lower of the carrying amount or the estimated fair value less costs
to sell.
 
   Rental income decreased by approximately $27,000 and $2,000 for the nine and
three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding periods
in 1995. These decreases were 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 as a result of to higher commercial
space rental rates.

   Other income decreased by approximately $32,000 and $10,000 for the nine and
three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding periods
in 1995 as a result of the decreasing number of older leases that include
charges to recover operating expenses.
 
   General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $392,000 and
$135,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
the corresponding periods in 1995. This variance was primarily due to the
accrual of professional fees and other costs relating to the solicitation of the
consent of the Unitholders for the sale of the properties.
 
   Property operating expenses increased by approximately $36,000 and $21,000
for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the
corresponding period in 1995 primarily due to increases in utilities and payroll
expenses.
 
   Depreciation expense decreased by approximately $442,000 and $148,000 for the
nine and three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding
periods 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 nine and three months ended
September 30, 1996. However, depreciation was recorded for income tax purposes.
