                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 March 31, 2000 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.-2 (the 'Partnership') first adopted
the liquidation basis of accounting as of October 1, 1996.

   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 December 31, 1999.

   In accordance with a consent statement dated September 17, 1996, the limited
partners approved, on October 18, 1996, the sale of all eight miniwarehouse
facilities owned by the Partnership to Public Storage, Inc. ('Public'), and the
liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership. Seven of the eight properties
which were under contract were sold to Public and its affiliates on December 16,
1996.

   The Partnership continues to own the Hampton Park property located in Capitol
Heights, Maryland. In conjunction with the contract of sale of the property to
Public, as described above, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was
performed in the first quarter of 1996 by Law Engineering and Environmental
Services, Inc. ('LAW'), which identified one of the tenants as a potential
environmental concern. As a result, the property was not sold to Public.

   LAW, at the request of the Partnership, performed a Phase II Environmental
Site Assessment which was completed in June 1996. Analysis of soil and ground
water samples collected at the site in this assessment indicated detectable
levels of tetrachloroethene ('PCE'). LAW, at the request of the Partnership,
reported the PCE release to the Maryland Department of the Environment ('MDE').
The MDE requested that a limited subsurface assessment be performed to evaluate
the potential impact to subsurface soil and ground water. Since this 1996
assessment there have been fourteen additional quarterly groundwater sampling
events performed through the first quarter of 2000. Based upon the results of
these tests, the Partnership has continued its quarterly monitoring of the
property and will continue to do so until further direction is provided by the
MDE.

   As of March 31, 2000, the Statement of Net Assets reflects an accrued
liability of $500,000 which represents the Partnership's best estimate of the
obligation regarding the environmental issues mentioned above. The amount
includes costs associated with an active remediation program over a five-year
period. It is reasonably possible that the loss exposure will be in excess of
the amount accrued and will be material to the Partnership and may possibly
change in the near future. However, it is uncertain at this time what will
ultimately be required to resolve the environmental issue at the property. It is
the Partnership's intention to sell the property and distribute any remaining
funds to the partners at such time; however, because of the environmental
problem it is uncertain when any such sale could be consummated.

   In conjunction with the liquidation basis of accounting, the Partnership has
recorded an accrual as of March 31, 2000 for the estimated costs expected to be
incurred to liquidate the Partnership. Due to the nature of the Hampton Park
environmental issue, the date of liquidation is uncertain. However, the
Partnership has utilized a December 31, 2000 date for purposes of estimating
costs through the conclusion of liquidation. 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 March 31, 2000. No additional amounts have been accrued
during the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

                                       3
<PAGE>
   The Net Assets in liquidation increased approximately $92,000 during the
first quarter of 2000. This increase was primarily the result of income from
operations of the Hampton Park property, and to a lesser extent, interest
income.

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, 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.

   Included in the Estimated Liquidation Costs as of March 31, 2000, reflected
in the Statement of Net Assets, is $110,000 expected to be payable to the
General Partners and their affiliates during the anticipated remaining
liquidation period. See Note A for a further discussion regarding the
Partnership's estimated liquidation costs.

   PBP and the two individual General Partners of the Partnership own 258, 130
and 130 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.

   Prudential Securities Incorporated, an affiliate of PBP, owns 180 limited
partnership units at March 31, 2000.

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, there is no
management discussion comparing the corresponding 2000 and 1999 periods.

Impact of Year 2000

   The Partnership has received no reports of incidents of systems or facilities
malfunctions related to the inability of computers and/or computer software to
process and calculate date-related information from and after January 1, 2000.
The Partnership did not incur any costs during the three months ended March 31,
2000 in connection with remediating its systems. The Partnership is not aware of
any material problems resulting from Year 2000 issues, either with its products,
its internal systems, or the products and services of

                                       5

third parties. The Partnership will continue to monitor its mission critical
computer applications and those of its suppliers and vendors throughout 2000 to
ensure that any latent Year 2000 matters that may arise are addressed promptly.
