NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PRUCO LIFE OF NEW JERSEY VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT
September 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
Note 1: General
Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account (the “Account”) was established on October 30, 1987 by resolution of the Board of Directors of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (“Pruco Life of New Jersey” or the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pruco Life Insurance Company (“Pruco Life”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“PFI”) as a separate investment account pursuant to New Jersey law and is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The assets of the Account are segregated from Pruco Life of New Jersey’s other assets. The Account is used to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by Pruco Life of New Jersey. These products are Appreciable Life (“VAL”), Variable Life (“VLI”), Discovery Plus (“SPVA”), and Discovery Life Plus (“SPVL”).
The assets of the Account are invested in The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the “Partnership”). The Partnership is the investment vehicle for assets allocated to the real estate investment option under certain variable life insurance and annuity contracts. The Account, along with the Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account and The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account, are the General Partners in the Partnership. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Partnership.
The Partnership has a policy of investing at least 65% of its assets in direct ownership interests in income-producing real estate and participating mortgage loans.
Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements
A. Basis of Accounting
The Unaudited Interim Financial Statements as of September 30, 2012 and the condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, which has been derived from Audited Financial Statements, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) on a basis consistent with reporting interim financial information in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Account’s Audited Financial Statements included in the Account’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
The Account has transactions and relationships with Prudential and other affiliates. Due to these relationships, it is possible that the terms of these transactions are not the same as those that would result from transactions among unrelated parties.
Use of 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates include valuation of Investments in the Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership.
Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2012, the Account adopted, prospectively, updated guidance regarding the fair value measurements and disclosure requirements. The updated guidance clarifies existing guidance related to the application of fair value measurement methods and requires expanded disclosures. The expanded disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 9. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Account’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

(Unaudited)
Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements (continued)
B. Investment in Partnership Interest
The investment in the Partnership is based on the Account’s proportionate interest of the Partnership’s fair value. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 the Account’s interest in the General Partners Controlling Interest was 4.4% or 231,007 shares and 4.4% or 237,237 shares, respectively. Properties owned by the Partnership are illiquid and their fair value is based on estimated fair value as discussed in the notes to the Partnership’s unaudited financial statements.
C. Income Recognition
Net investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized daily for the investments in the Partnership. Amounts are based on the Account’s proportionate interest in the Partnership.
D. Equity of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey
Pruco Life of New Jersey maintains a position in the Account for liquidity purposes, including unit purchases and redemptions, Partnership share transactions, and expense processing. The position does not affect contract owners’ accounts or the related unit values.
Note 3: Charges and Expenses
A. Mortality Risk and Expense Risk Charges
Mortality risk and expense risk charges are determined daily using an effective annual rate of 0.6%, 0.35%, 0.9% and 0.9% for VAL, VLI, SPVA and SPVL, respectively. Mortality risk is the risk that life insurance contract owners may not live as long as estimated or annuitants may live longer than estimated and expense risk is the risk that the cost of issuing and administering the policies may exceed related charges by Pruco Life of New Jersey. The mortality risk and expense risk charges are assessed through reduction in unit values.
B. Administrative Charges
Administrative charges are determined daily using an effective annual rate of 0.35% applied daily against the net assets representing equity of contract owners held in each subaccount for SPVA and SPVL. Administrative charges include costs associated with issuing the contract, establishing and maintaining records, and providing reports to contract owners. The administrative charge is assessed through reduction in unit values.
C. Cost of Insurance and Other Related Charges
Contract owner contributions are subject to certain deductions prior to being invested in the Account. The deductions for VAL and VLI are (1) state premium taxes; (2) sales charges, not to exceed 5% for VAL and 9% for VLI, which are deducted in order to compensate Pruco Life of New Jersey for the cost of selling the contract and (3) transaction costs, applicable to VAL, which are deducted from each premium payment to cover premium collection and processing costs. Contracts are subject to charges on each basic premium for assuming a guaranteed minimum death benefit risk. This charge compensates Pruco Life of New Jersey for the risk that an insured may die at a time when the death benefit exceeds the benefit that would have been payable in the absence of a minimum guarantee. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

Note 3: Charges and Expenses (continued)
D. Deferred Sales Charge
A deferred sales charge is imposed upon surrenders of certain variable life insurance contracts to compensate Pruco Life of New Jersey for sales and other marketing expenses. The amount of any sales charge will depend on the number of years that have elapsed since the contract was issued, but will not exceed 45% of one scheduled annual premium for VAL contracts and 9% of the initial premium payment for SPVL. No sales charge will be imposed after the sixth and tenth year of the contract for SPVL and VAL, respectively. No sales charge will be imposed on death benefits. This deferred sales charge is assessed through the redemption of units. For SPVA, there is a deferred sales charge that applies at the time of a full or partial withdrawal, and the amount of the charge (which declines over time) depends on the number of years that have elapsed since the contract was issued.
E. Partial Withdrawal Charge
A charge is imposed by Pruco Life of New Jersey on partial withdrawals of the cash surrender value for VAL. A charge equal to the lesser of $15 or 2% will be made in connection with each partial withdrawal of the cash surrender value of a contract. This charge is assessed through the redemption of units.
Note 4: Taxes
Pruco Life of New Jersey is taxed as a “life insurance company”, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. The results of operations of the Account form a part of PFI’s consolidated federal tax return. Under current federal, state and local law, no federal, state or local income taxes are payable by the Account. As such, no provision for the tax liability has been recorded in these financial statements.

Note 9: Fair Value Disclosure
FASB guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 — Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Company for identical assets or liabilities. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and should be used to measure fair value whenever available. The Account had no Level 1 assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Fair value is based on inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data. The Account had no Level 2 assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Account’s Level 3 assets consist of the investment in the Partnership which is based on the Account’s proportionate interest of the Partnership’s fair value which approximates the Partnership’s net asset value. Properties owned by the Partnership are illiquid and fair value is based on estimates from property appraisal reports prepared by independent real estate appraisers as discussed in the notes to the Partnership’s unaudited financial statements.
The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the fair value of real estate as of a specific date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The estimate of fair value is based on the conventional approaches to value, all of which require the exercise of subjective judgment. The three approaches are: (1) current cost of reproducing the real estate less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence; (2) discounting a series of income streams and reversion at a specific yield or by directly capitalizing a single year income estimate by an appropriate factor; and (3) value indicated by recent sales of comparable real estate in the market. In the reconciliation of these three approaches, the one most heavily relied upon is the one then recognized as the most appropriate by the independent appraiser for the type of real estate in the market. Appraisals for the Account’s Level 3 assets generally utilize a discounted cash flow model.

(Unaudited)
In general, the input values used in the appraisal process are unobservable; therefore unless indicated otherwise, the underlying investments in the Partnership are classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
September 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A.Basis of Presentation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the “Partnership”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that are applicable to investment companies. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2012. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Partnership has evaluated subsequent events through November 9, 2012, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.
B.Accounting Pronouncements Adopted — In May 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance regarding the fair value measurements and disclosure requirements. The updated guidance clarifies existing guidance related to the application of fair value measurement methods and requires expanded disclosures. This new guidance is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011 and is applied prospectively. Effective January 1, 2012, the Partnership adopted this updated guidance regarding the fair value measurements and disclosure requirements. The expanded disclosures required by this guidance are included in Note 3. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note 2: Disclosure of Supplemental Cash Flow Information and Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activity
During third quarter of 2012, in conjunction with the acquisition of a real estate investment, the Partnership assumed a variable rate mortgage loan payable in the amount of $12.5 million.
Cash paid for interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, was $1,320,033, and $947,396 respectively.

Note 3: Fair Value Measurements
Valuation Methods:
Real estate investments are carried at fair value. 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 or below market leases, in-place leases, and tenant relationships at the time of acquisition.
In general fair 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. (“PIM”), which is an indirectly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“PFI”), is responsible to assure that the valuation process provides independent and reasonable property fair value estimates. An unaffiliated third party 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. The fair value of real estate investments does not reflect the transaction sale costs, which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments.
The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the fair value of real estate as of a specific date. In accordance with FASB authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The estimate of fair value is based on the conventional approaches to value, all of which require the exercise of subjective judgment. The three approaches are: (1) current cost of reproducing the real estate less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence; (2) discounting a series of income streams and reversion at a specific yield or by directly capitalizing a single year income estimate by an appropriate factor; and (3) value indicated by recent sales of comparable real estate in the market. Key inputs and assumptions include rental income and expense amounts, related rental income and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates. In the reconciliation of these three approaches, the independent appraiser uses one or a combination of them, to come up with the approximated value for the type of real estate in the market. The real estate investments consisting of real estate and improvements, and preferred equity investments are therefore classified as Level 3.
Cash equivalents include short term investments. Short term investments are generally valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible for identical assets and are primarily classified as Level 1.
See below for a description of the levels of fair value hierarchy.

Note 3: Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Fair Value Measurements:
FASB authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value measurement framework, provides a single definition of fair value and requires expanded disclosure summarizing fair value measurements. This guidance provides a three-level hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation process. The levels in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurements falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 — Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the entity for identical assets or liabilities. These generally provide the most reliable evidence and should be used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2 — Fair value is based on inputs, other than Level 1 inputs, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3 — Fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability.
For items classified as Level 3, a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, as shown in table 2 below, is also required.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Note 3: Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Cost:
The Partnership’s mortgages on wholly owned properties and consolidated partnerships have an estimated fair value of approximately $57.2 million, and a carrying value (amortized cost) of $57.0 million. The estimated fair value is based on the amount at which the Partnership would pay to transfer the debt at the reporting date taking into consideration the effect of nonperformance risk, including the Partnership’s own credit risk. The fair value of debt is determined using the discounted cash flow method, which applies certain key assumptions including the contractual terms of the contract, market interest rates, interest spreads, credit risk, liquidity and other factors. Different assumptions or changes in future market conditions could significantly affect the estimated fair value. The input values used in the determining the fair value on investment level debt are unobservable, therefore would be considered as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy.
Note 4: Risk
A. Valuation Risk
The estimated fair value of real estate and real estate related assets is generally determined through an appraisal process. These estimated fair values may vary significantly from the prices at which the real estate investments would sell, since market prices of real estate investments can only be determined by negotiation between a willing buyer and seller. These differences could be material to the financial statements. Although the estimated fair values represent subjective estimates, management believes that these estimated fair values are reasonable approximations of market prices and the aggregate estimated value of investments in real estate are fairly presented as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
B. Financing, Covenant, and Repayment Risks
In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into loan agreements with certain lenders to finance its real estate investment transactions. Unfavorable economic conditions could increase related borrowing costs, limit access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Partnership. There is no guarantee that the Partnership’s borrowing arrangements or ability to obtain leverage will continue to be available, or if available, will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Partnership. Further, these loan agreements contain, among other conditions, events of default and various covenants and representations. In the normal course of business, the Partnership may be in the process of renegotiating terms for loans outstanding that have passed their maturity dates. At September 30, 2012 the Partnership had no outstanding matured loans.
A decline in market value of the Partnership’s assets may also have particular adverse consequences in instances where the Partnership borrowed money based on the fair value of specific assets. A decrease in market value of these assets may result in the lender requiring the Partnership to post additional collateral or otherwise repay these loans.

Note 4: Risk (continued)
In the event the Partnership’s current portfolio and investment obligations are not refinanced or extended when they become due, management anticipates that the repayment of these obligations will be provided by operating cash flow, new debt refinancing, and real estate investment sales.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
All of the assets of the Real Property Account are invested in the Partnership. Accordingly, the liquidity and capital resources and results of operations for the Real Property Account are contingent upon those of the Partnership. Therefore, this management’s discussion and analysis addresses these items at the Partnership level. The general partners in the Partnership are The Prudential Insurance Company of America, 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 Real Property Account and the Partnership and the related Notes included in this filing.
(a) Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2012, the Partnership’s liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, were approximately $24.8 million, a decrease of approximately $2.6 million from $27.4 million as of December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the following activities: (a) $22.3 million for an acquisition of a 59-unit apartment property located in Seattle, Washington; (b) $20.6 million for an acquisition of an 81,159 square foot retail property located in Roswell, Georgia; (c) $5.0 million distribution to general partners’ controlling interest; (d) $0.7 million of principal payments made on financed properties; and (e) $2.3 million paid for capital improvements. Partially offsetting this decrease was the (a) net cash flow generated from property operations of $6.4 million; (b) net proceeds of $8.6 million from the final payment of the Capital Automotive Real Estate Services (or “CARS”) preferred equity investment; (c) $11.7 million of loan proceeds associated with the apartment acquisition in Seattle, Washington; (d) $12.5 million in a loan assumption associated with the retail acquisition in Roswell, Georgia; (e) $7.4 million in proceeds from changes in financing arrangements on maturities of 90 days or less; and (f) contributions from noncontrolling interest of $1.7 million. The $2.3 million payment for capital improvements included the following items: (a) $0.5 million for building renovations at one of the office buildings in Brentwood, Tennessee; (b) $0.4 million for tenant improvements and leasing costs at the office property in Beaverton, Oregon; (c) $0.4 million for tenant improvements and leasing costs at the office building in Lisle, Illinois; (d) $0.3 million for roof replacements at the retail property in Dunn, North Carolina; (e) $0.2 million for exterior painting at the apartment property in Raleigh, North Carolina; and (f) $0.5 million for capital improvements and transaction costs associated with leasing expenses at various properties.
Sources of liquidity included net cash flow from property operations, capital redemptions, loans on properties, and interest from cash equivalents. The Partnership uses cash for its real estate investment activities and for its distributions to its partners. As of September 30, 2012, approximately 9.9% of the Partnership’s total assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.

(b) Results of Operations
The following is a comparison of the Partnership’s results of operations for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
Net Investment Income Overview
The Partnership’s net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was approximately $6.2 million, a $0.1 million increase from the prior year period. The increase in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest was primarily due to increases of $0.6 million, $0.4 million and $0.1 million in the office, apartment and hotel sector investments’ net investment income, respectively, from the prior year period. Partially offsetting the increase was a decrease of approximately $1.0 million from the prior year period in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest from the retail sector.
The Partnership’s net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was approximately $2.4 million, an increase of approximately $0.4 million from the prior year period. The components of this net investment income and/or loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest are discussed below by investment type.
Valuation Overview
The Partnership recorded a net recognized gain attributable to the general partner’s controlling interest of $0.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, compared with no recognized gains/losses for the prior year period. The net recognized gain attributable to the partner’s controlling interest was due to the final payment of the CARS preferred equity investment. The Partnership recorded net unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. This is compared with net unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $10.8 million for the prior year period. The net unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 were primarily due to valuation increases in the apartment and retail sector investments. Offsetting the net unrealized gains were net unrealized losses at the office and hotel sector investments.
The Partnership recorded net unrealized gains attributable to the general partner’s controlling interest of $1.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, compared with $3.3 million of unrealized gains for the prior year period. The components of these valuation gains and/or losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest are discussed below by property type.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net Investment Income
Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s office properties was approximately $2.4 million and $0.8 million for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, which represents an increase of approximately $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, from the prior year period. The increase in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012 were primarily due to rental rate increases from new and existing tenants at one of the properties in Brentwood, Tennessee and an increase in occupancy at the property in Beaverton, Oregon.
Unrealized Gain/(Loss)
The office properties owned by the Partnership recorded net unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared with a net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $4.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, from the prior year period. The net unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012 were primarily due to (a) valuation loss at one of the properties in Brentwood, Tennessee due to the likelihood that the tenant will not renew upon lease expiration in 2015; (b) valuation loss at the property in Beaverton, Oregon due to a reconciliation of costs spent on tenant improvements and less favorable market leasing assumptions; and (c) increased capital expenditures related to leasing and tenant improvement costs and increased real estate taxes at the property in Lisle, Illinois. Partially offsetting the decrease was an increase at one of the Brentwood, Tennessee properties due to increased contract rents and more favorable market leasing assumptions.

Net Investment Income
Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s apartment properties was approximately $2.5 million and $0.9 million for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, which represents increases of approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively from the prior year period. The increase in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to increased rental rates and reduced concessions at the properties in Raleigh, North Carolina, Austin, Texas, and Charlotte, North Carolina.
Unrealized Gain/(Loss)
The apartment properties owned by the Partnership recorded net unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared with net unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $3.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for the prior year period. The net unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were generally due to favorable market leasing assumptions at the properties in Charlotte, North Carolina; Raleigh, North Carolina and Austin, Texas. The net unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were generally due to (a) more favorable market rents and decreased real estate taxes at the property in Austin, Texas; and (b) more favorable market rents, decreased future capital expenditures and operating expenses at the property in Raleigh, North Carolina.

(1) | The Roswell, Georgia retail property was sold on May 1, 2009. The income in 2011 is a result of post-closing adjustments. |
(2) | A partial capital redemption of the CARS preferred equity position was paid on March 11, 2011. On March 5, 2012, the Partnership received final payment on the position which is reflected as a recognized gain. |
Net Investment Income
Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s retail properties was approximately $2.7 million and $0.9 million for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, which represents a decrease of approximately $1.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively from the prior year period. The decrease in net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012 was largely due to (a) reduced interest income from the CARS preferred equity investment due to the final payment of the investment which occurred in the first quarter of 2012; and (b) increased interest expense as a result of refinancing the loan for the Ocean City, Maryland property.
Recognized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)
The retail properties owned by the Partnership recorded a net recognized gain and unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with a net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $3.2 million for the prior year period. The net recognized and unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were primarily due to (a) more favorable market rent assumptions for the property in Ocean City, Maryland; (b) increased rent at the property in Westminster, Maryland; (c) recognized gains on the CARS preferred equity investment as a result of the sale of the investment; and (d) more favorable market leasing assumptions at the property in Hampton, Virginia. Partially offsetting the gains was a loss at the property in Dunn, North Carolina due to capital expenditures for roof replacements. The retail properties owned by the Partnership recorded net unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ interest of $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with net unrealized losses attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.1 million for the prior year period. The net unrealized gains attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were primarily due to (a) more favorable market leasing assumptions and a reduction in future required capital expenditures at the Ocean City, Maryland property; and (b) increased rent at the property in Westminster, Maryland.

Net Investment Income
Net investment income attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the Partnership’s hotel property was approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, which represents an increase of approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million from the prior year periods, respectively, due to an increase in average daily rate and occupancy.
Unrealized Gain/(Loss)
The Partnership’s hotel property recorded a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with a net unrealized gain attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.2 million for the prior year period. The unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in the growth rates applied to average daily rate projections. The Partnership’s hotel property recorded a net unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest of approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, which remained relatively unchanged from the prior year period. The unrealized loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in the growth rates applied to the average daily rate projections.
Other
Other net investment loss mainly includes investment management fees, other portfolio level expenses and interest income. Other net investment loss attributable to the general partners’ controlling interest was approximately $2.1 million and $0.7 million for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012, which remained relatively unchanged from the prior year periods, respectively.
35
(c) Inflation
A majority of the Partnership’s leases with 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 Real Property 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 Real Property Account and the Partnership that are most dependent on the application of estimates and assumptions.
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
See Note 1B to the Partnership’s unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently adopted accounting pronouncements.
Valuation of Investments
Real Estate Investments — Real estate investments are carried at fair value. 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.
In general, fair 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. (“PIM”), which is an indirectly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“PFI”), is responsible for assuring that the valuation process provides independent and reasonable property fair value estimates. An unaffiliated third party 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. The fair value of real estate investments does not reflect the transaction sale costs, which may be incurred upon disposition of the real estate investments.
The purpose of an appraisal is to estimate the fair value of real estate as of a specific date. In accordance with FASB authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The estimate of fair value is based on the conventional approaches to value, all of which require the exercise of subjective judgment. The three approaches are: (1) current cost of reproducing the real estate less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence; (2) discounting a series of income streams and reversion at a specific yield or by directly capitalizing a single year income estimate by an appropriate factor; and (3) value indicated by recent sales of comparable real estate in the market. Key inputs and assumptions include rental income and expense amounts, related rental income and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates. In the reconciliation of these three approaches, the independent appraiser uses one or a combination of them, to determine the approximated value for the type of real estate in the market. The real estate investments consisting of real estate, improvements, and preferred equity investments are therefore classified as Level 3.
Cash equivalents include short term investments. Short term investments are generally valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible for identical assets and primarily are classified as Level 1.
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 of the Real Property Account and the Partnership 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 general partners’ controlling interest exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates to approximately 45.23% of its investment portfolio as of September 30, 2012, which consists primarily of short-term commercial paper and fixed and variable interest rate debt. The Partnership does not use derivative financial instruments. As a matter of 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, cash equivalents and short term investments at September 30, 2012:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Maturity | | | Estimated Market Value (millions) | | | Average Interest Rate | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | | 0-3 months | | | $ | 24.8 | | | | 0.06 | % |
The table below discloses the Partnership’s debt as of September 30, 2012. The fair value of the Partnership’s long-term debt 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 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, tenant delinquencies could increase and result in losses to the Partnership and the Real Property Account that could adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.
