ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
All of the assets of the Real Property Account, or the “Account”, are invested in the Partnership. Accordingly, the liquidity and capital resources and results of operations for the Account are contingent upon those of the Partnership. Therefore, this management’s discussion and analysis addresses these items at the Partnership level. The partners in the Partnership are Prudential, Pruco Life Insurance Company, and Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey, or collectively, the “Partners”.
The following discussion and analysis of the liquidity and capital resources and results of operations of the Partnership should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Account and the Partnership and the related Notes included in this filing.
(a) Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2006, the Partnership’s liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, were approximately $35.8 million, a decrease of approximately $9.7 million from $45.5 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to an additional funding for a preferred equity investment in a private real estate investment trust, or “REIT” and the acquisition of a retail property, as discussed below. Partially offsetting the decrease were proceeds received in connection with the sale of three retail properties and a loan payoff, as described below, and the cash flows from the Account’s operating activities. Sources of liquidity included net cash flow from property operations, sales, financings and interest from short-term investments. The Partnership uses cash for its real estate investment activities and for distribution to its partners. As of June 30, 2006, approximately 13.4% of the Partnership’s total assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Partnership completed the second funding of its preferred equity investment in its existing Capital Automotive, or “CARS”, “REIT” for $7.3 million. CARS owns approximately 364 properties, which are leased to sixty automobile dealership operators throughout the United States. This investment pays to investors an annual preferred return of 7.5% for years one through five, 8.75% during years six and seven, and 12% for all subsequent years. In addition, the Partnership invested $14.8 million in June to acquire an 89,849 square-foot retail property located in Westminster, Maryland, from the pipeline.
Dispositions for the six months ended June 30, 2006 included the sale of a portfolio of three retail properties located in Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri resulting in net proceeds of $3.6 million after the repayment of debt.
The Partnership’s Leasehold Mortgage Loan that was originated in January 2004 for a borrower’s redevelopment of a retail center in Westminster, Maryland was paid in full by the borrower in March 2006, resulting in proceeds of approximately $4.3 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Partnership spent approximately $0.5 million on capital improvements to various existing properties.
(b) Results of Operations
The following is a comparison of the Partnership’s results of operations for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

(1) | The Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois office property was sold on June 8, 2005 but certain post-closing adjustments were recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2006. |

Net Investment Income
Net investment income for the Partnership’s office properties was approximately $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, unchanged from the prior year period. Net investment income for the Partnership’s office properties was approximately $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $0.2 million from the prior year period. The decrease for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to the loss of income from the Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois office property that was sold on June 8, 2005.
Total Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)
The office properties owned by the Partnership recorded an aggregate net unrealized gain of approximately $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to an aggregate net realized and unrealized gain of $1.0 million for the prior year period. The net unrealized gain of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to strengthening market fundamentals and investor demand in the office sector in Beavorton, Oregon as well as improving market conditions at the office properties in Lisle, Illinois and Brentwood, Tennessee. Partially offsetting these unrealized gains was a net unrealized loss at the office property in Brentwood, Tennessee due to capital expenses including tenant improvements and leasing commissions expended in connection with recent leasing efforts.

(1) | The Salem, Oregon, Gresham, Oregon and Jacksonville, Florida apartment properties were sold on March 10, 2005, August 10, 2005 and November 30, 2005, respectively. |
Net Investment Income
Net investment income for the Partnership’s apartment properties was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of approximately $0.5 million from the prior year period. Net investment income for the Partnership’s apartment properties was approximately $0.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of approximately $0.1 million from the prior year period. The decrease for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to the loss of income on the Salem, Oregon, Gresham, Oregon and Jacksonville, Florida apartment properties that were sold on March 10, 2005, August 10, 2005 and November 30, 2005, respectively. Partially offsetting the decrease was an increase in net investment income for the apartment properties in Atlanta, Georgia and Raleigh, North Carolina due to reduced operating expenses and lowered rental concessions, or reduced rent.
Total Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)
The apartment properties owned by the Partnership recorded an aggregate net realized and unrealized gain of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to an aggregate net realized and unrealized gain of $1.7 million for the prior year period. The apartment properties owned by the Partnership recorded an aggregate net realized and unrealized gain of $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to an aggregate net realized and unrealized gain of $1.8 million for the prior year period. The aggregate net realized and unrealized gain for both the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to valuation gains resulting from the strengthening of both market and property fundamentals, which included reduced rental concessions and increased rental rates, at the apartment properties in Atlanta, Georgia and Raleigh, North Carolina. In addition, the Jacksonville, Florida apartment property that was sold in November 2005 recognized realized gains of approximately $0.1 million due to the disbursement of reserved funds that were escrowed at closing for any post-closing operating adjustments.

Net Investment Income
Net investment income for the Partnership’s retail properties was $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of approximately $0.4 million from the prior year period. The increase in net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to (a) increased occupancy at the retail center in Roswell, Georgia; (b) income received from the preferred equity investments made by the Partnership on December 16, 2005 and February 14, 2006, respectively; and (c) the acquisition of a retail property in Westminster, Maryland in June 2006. Partially offsetting the increase was higher expenses at the retail properties in Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri due to the prepayment of the existing mortgage on the three properties upon their respective sales in May 2006. Additionally, the Ocean City, Maryland retail property recorded a decrease of $0.1 million in net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 due to a decrease in occupancy.
21
Back to Index
Net investment income for the Partnership’s retail properties was approximately $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, unchanged from the prior year period. The Roswell, Georgia retail property recorded an increase of approximately $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from the prior year period due to an increase in occupancy, as discussed above. In addition, the Westminster, Maryland retail property and CARS Preferred Equity investment contributed approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of net investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 for the reasons discussed above. Offsetting these increases in net investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were decreases of approximately $0.4 million at the retail property in Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas, City Missouri and $0.1 million at the retail property in Ocean City, Maryland, as previously discussed.
Unrealized Gain/(Loss)
The retail properties owned by the Partnership recorded an aggregate net unrealized gain of $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to an aggregate net unrealized gain of $1.0 million for the prior year period. The unrealized gain for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to the acquisition of the retail property in Westminster, Maryland at cost, which resulted in $5.0 million in valuation gains. In addition, unrealized gains of approximately $0.6 million and $0.2 million were recorded at the retail properties in Roswell, Georgia due to higher occupancy and continued investor demand and in Ocean City, Maryland due to strengthening market fundamentals, respectively. Partially offsetting these gains for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were unrealized losses of approximately $0.5 million recorded at the retail properties in Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri due to the three properties being sold below their aggregate market value as a result of the lack of investor demand and $0.1 million recorded at the retail property in Hampton, Virginia due to a market valuation adjustment as a result of an overstatement of the property’s market value.
The retail properties owned by the Partnership recorded an aggregate net unrealized gain of $5.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to an aggregate net unrealized loss of $0.2 million for the prior year period. The unrealized gain for quarter ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to the acquisition of the retail property in Westminster, Maryland as discussed above. In addition, an unrealized gain of approximately $0.7 was recorded at the retail property in Ocean City, Maryland due to strengthening market fundamentals. These unrealized gains were partially offset by unrealized losses of approximately $0.4 million recorded at the three retail centers in Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri as previously discussed and $0.1 million recorded at the retail property in Roswell, Georgia due to capital expenses including tenant improvements and leasing commissions expended in connection with recent leasing efforts.

Net investment income for the Partnership’s hotel property was $0.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, an increase of approximately $0.1 million from the prior year period. The increase for both the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to increased occupancy and higher average daily rates generated at the hotel compared to the prior year periods.

LAND PROPERTY
The Blue Springs, Missouri land property was sold on November 28, 2005, but certain post-closing adjustments were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2006, which resulted in slight a decrease in net investment income. The same land property also recorded a slight realized loss during the six months ended June 30, 2006, as discussed above.
Other
Other net investment income increased $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from the prior year period and also increased $0.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from the prior year period. Other net investment income includes interest income from short-term investments, investment management fees, and portfolio level expenses.
(c) Inflation
The Partnership’s leases with a majority of its commercial tenants provide for recoveries of expenses based upon the tenant’s proportionate share of, and/or increases in, real estate taxes and certain operating costs, which may partially reduce the Partnership’s exposure to increases in operating costs resulting from inflation.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “U.S. GAAP”, requires the application of accounting policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment. Management reviews critical estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. If management determines, as a result of its consideration of facts and circumstances, that modifications in assumptions and estimates are appropriate, results of operations and financial position as reported in the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Account and the Partnership may change significantly.
The following sections discuss those critical accounting policies applied in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Account and the Partnership that are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions.

Valuation of Investments
Real Estate Investments – Real estate investments are shown at estimated market value in accordance with the terms of the Partnership’s contracts. Properties owned are initially recorded at the purchase price plus closing costs. Development costs and major renovations are capitalized as a component of cost, and routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Real estate costs include the cost of acquired property, including all the tangible and intangible assets. Tangible assets include the value of all land, building and tenant improvements at the time of acquisition. Intangible assets include the value of any above and below market leases, in-place leases, and tenant relationships at the time of acquisition. Market value estimates are based upon property appraisal reports prepared by independent real estate appraisers (members of the Appraisal Institute or an equivalent organization) within a reasonable amount of time following acquisition of the real estate and no less frequently than annually thereafter. The Chief Real Estate Appraiser of Prudential Investment Management, Inc., or “PIM”, which is an indirectly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial Inc., is responsible for assuring that the valuation process provides independent and reasonable property market value estimates. American Appraisal Associates, or the “Appraisal Management Firm”, an entity not affiliated with PIM, has been appointed by PIM to assist the Chief Real Estate Appraiser in maintaining and monitoring the independence and the accuracy of the appraisal process. Unless a property is currently held for sale, the market value of real estate investments does not reflect the transaction sale costs, which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments.
Unconsolidated real estate partnerships are valued at the Partnership’s equity in net assets as reflected in the partnership’s financial statements with properties valued as described above. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at the original investment amount, plus or minus additional amounts invested or distributed, and is subsequently adjusted for the Partnership’s share of undistributed earnings or losses, including unrealized appreciation and depreciation, from the underlying entity.
The Partnership periodically enters into forward contracts to acquire, for a fixed price, real estate investments to be constructed in accordance with predetermined plans and specifications or that achieve a certain level of leasing. Where conditions precedent to funding have been met by its development partner, and the Partnership’s commitment to fund is firm, the amount of any unrealized gain or loss is recognized based upon the difference between the estimated investment’s market value as described above and the Partnership’s funding obligation. The funding obligation and related assets are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. However, land while held for development, is carried at acquisition cost plus the cost incurred to hold the land, according to take out provisions in the developer/partner contract.
As described above, the estimated market value of real estate and real estate related assets is determined through an appraisal process. These estimated market values may vary significantly from the prices at which the real estate investments would sell, because market prices of real estate investments can only be determined by negotiation between a willing buyer and seller and could be material to the consolidated financial statements. Although the estimated market values represent subjective estimates, management believes that these estimated market values are reasonable approximations of market prices and that the aggregate estimated value of investments in real estate is fairly presented as of June 30, 2006 and 2005.
Other Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk – The Partnership’s exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates to approximately 30.77% of its investment portfolio as of June 30, 2006, which consists primarily of short-term fixed rate commercial paper and fixed and variable interest rate debt. The Partnership does not use derivative financial instruments. By policy, the Partnership places its investments with high quality debt security issuers, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer, limits duration by restricting the term, and holds investments to maturity except under unusual circumstances.
The table below presents the amounts and related weighted interest rates of the Partnership’s cash equivalents and short-term investments at June 30, 2006:
| | Maturity | | Estimated Market Value (millions) | | Average Interest Rate | |
| |
| |
| |
| |
Cash and Cash equivalents | | 0-3 months | | $ | 35.8 | | 4.01 | % |
| | | | | | | | |
The table below discloses the Partnership’s debt as of June 30, 2006. All of the Partnership’s long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. The following table presents principal cash flows based upon maturity dates of the debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the fixed rate debt.

The Partnership is exposed to market risk from tenants. While the Partnership has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of significant increases in interest rates and/or an economic downturn, delinquencies could increase and result in losses to the Partnership and the Account that could adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.
