PART I

Item 1. Business

General

Prudential-Bache/Watson & Taylor, Ltd.-2 (the 'Registrant'), a Texas limited
partnership, was formed on November 14, 1983 and will terminate in accordance
with a vote of the limited partners as described below. The Registrant was
formed for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning and operating
mini-storage and office/warehouse facilities with proceeds raised from the
initial sale of units of limited partnership interests ('Units'). The
Registrant's fiscal year for book and tax purposes ends on December 31.

On December 15, 1995, the Management Committee of the Registrant determined
to seek bids for all the properties held by the Registrant. On June 13, 1996,
the Registrant entered into a contract with Public Storage, Inc., the property
manager of the Registrant's properties, for the sale of all the Registrant's
properties. This sale was subject to the approval by the limited partners
holding a majority of the limited partnership units and certain other conditions
and potential price adjustments.

In accordance with a consent statement dated September 17, 1996, the limited
partners approved, on October 18, 1996, the sale to Public Storage, Inc. of all
eight miniwarehouse facilities owned by the Registrant and the liquidation and
dissolution of the Registrant. Seven of the eight properties which were under
contract were sold to Public Storage, Inc. and its affiliates on December 16,
1996. The Registrant received, in cash, gross sales proceeds of $16,000,000
reduced by certain selling expenses and prorations of approximately $433,000.
The gross sales price was in excess of the appraised value of the properties.

The Registrant continues to own the Hampton Park property located in Capitol
Heights, Maryland. This property evidenced certain concentrations of hazardous
materials discovered in an environmental review of the property. The property
continues to be monitored by the State environmental regulatory department. To
date, the concentrations have not improved and the Registrant is reviewing
certain remedial alternatives. However, it is uncertain at this time what will
ultimately be required to resolve the environmental issue at the property. The
Registrant intends to sell the property as soon as possible; however, no buyer
for the property has been identified and it is uncertain when any such sale will
be consummated.

A distribution of $300 per limited partnership unit was made on December 19,
1996 representing the net sales proceeds reduced by a contingency reserve and
funds required to meet the anticipated current and future operating costs until
the liquidation of the Registrant.

Effective February 28, 1998, American Office Park Properties, Inc., a
subsidiary of Public Storage, Inc., terminated its management of the Hampton
Park property. The Registrant has entered into a management agreement
('Management Agreement') with Watson & Taylor Management, Inc. ('WTMI'), an
affiliate of the individual General Partners, effective March 1, 1998. WTMI will
be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the property, including the
supervision of the on-site managers and the establishment of rental policies and
rates for new rentals and renewals and will direct the marketing activity for
the property.

General Partners

The general partners of the Registrant are Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc.
('PBP'), George S. Watson and A. Starke Taylor, III (collectively, the 'General
Partners'). PBP is the Managing General Partner and is responsible for the
day-to-day operations of the Registrant and its investments. See Note E of the
financial statements in the Registrant's Annual Report which is filed as an
exhibit hereto.

Employees

The Registrant has no employees. Management and administrative services for
the Registrant are performed by the General Partners and their affiliates
pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. See Note E of the financial statements in
the Registrant's Annual Report which is filed as an exhibit hereto.

Item 2. Properties

As of December 31, 1998, the Registrant owns the following property:





Average Monthly
Occupancy Rates Rental Rates
for the year ended Per Unit
December 31, Land Rentable as of December 31,
Property Location 1998(1) (in acres) Units 1998

(1) 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.

The Managing General Partner believes the Registrant's remaining property is
adequately insured.

For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, the
following properties' rental revenues exceeded 15% of the Registrant's total
revenue:

PART II

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Units and Related Limited Partner Matters

As of March 4, 1999, there were 3,454 holders of record owning 51,818 Units,
inclusive of 258, 130 and 130 equivalent limited partnership units held by PBP
and Messrs. Watson and Taylor, respectively. A significant secondary market for
the Units has not developed, and it is not expected that one will develop in the
future. There are also certain restrictions set forth in Section 17.3 of the
Partnership Agreement limiting the ability of a limited partner to transfer
Units. Consequently, holders of Units may not be able to liquidate their
investments in the event of an emergency or for any other reason.

There were no cash distributions paid to limited partners during 1998 and
1997.

A distribution of $300 per limited partnership unit was made on December 19,
1996 representing the net proceeds from the sale of seven of the Registrant's
properties, reduced by a contingency reserve and funds required to meet the
anticipated current and future operating costs until the liquidation of the
Registrant. The Registrant intends to liquidate, subject to and assuming the
prior sale of the Hampton Park property, and will distribute any remaining funds
at such time.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

The Registrant does not pay or accrue any fees, salaries or any other form of
compensation to either individual General Partner or to directors and officers
of the Managing General Partner for their services. Certain officers and
directors of the Managing General Partner receive compensation from affiliates
of the Managing General Partner, not from the Registrant, for services performed
for various affiliated entities, which may include services performed for the

As of March 4, 1999, no individual General Partner or director or officer of
the Managing General Partner owns directly or beneficially any of the Units
issued by the Registrant. However, the General Partners have contributed to the
Registrant and, based on such contribution, they received 'equivalent units'
entitling them to participate in the distributions to the limited partners and
in the Registrant's profits and losses in the same proportion that the General
Partners' capital contribution bears to the total capital contributions of the
limited partners. The Managing General Partner has retained its right to receive
funds from the Registrant, such as General Partner distributions and
reimbursement of expenses, but has waived its right to share in any limited
partner cash distributions and allocations of Registrant's profits and losses
based upon such equivalent units.

As of March 4, 1999, no limited partner beneficially owns more than 5% of the
outstanding Units issued by the Registrant.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The Registrant has and will continue to have certain relationships with the
General Partners and their affiliates. However, there have been no direct
financial transactions between the Registrant and the individual General
Partners or the directors or officers of the Managing General Partner during
1998.
