NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY ACCOUNT
June 30, 2008
(Unaudited)


Note 1:		General

		The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Account (the “Account”) was established on November 20, 1986 by resolution of the Board of Directors of The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”), which is 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 Prudential’s other assets. The Account is used to fund benefits under certain variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts issued by Prudential. These products are Variable Appreciable Life (“PVAL and PVAL $100,000+ Face Value”), Discovery Plus (“PDISCO+”), and Variable Investment Plan (“VIP”).

		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 variable annuity contracts. The Account, along with the Pruco Life Variable Contract Real Property Account and the Pruco Life of New Jersey Variable Contract Real Property Account, are the sole investors 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 accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

		The interim financial data as of June 30, 2008 and for the six and three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.

		In September 2006, the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC”, issued Staff Accounting Bulletin, or “SAB”, No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” The interpretations in this SAB express the staff’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. Specifically, the SEC staff believes that registrants must quantify the impact on current period financial statements of correcting all misstatements, including both those occurring in the current period and the effect of reversing those that have accumulated from prior periods. This SAB must be applied beginning with the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, with early adoption encouraged. Since the Account’s method for quantifying financial statement misstatements already considers those occurring in the current period and the effect of reversing those that have accumulated from prior periods, the adoption of SAB No. 108 had no effect on the financial position and result of operations of the Account.

		In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but the application of this Statement could change current practices in determining fair value. The Account adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 has no effect on the Account’s financial position and results of operations. See Note 9 for more information on SFAS No. 157.

		In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Account adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2008. The Account did not make a fair value option election for its existing debt. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 has no effect on the Account’s financial position and results of operations.

B. Investment in Partnership Interest


		The investment in the Partnership is based on the Account’s proportionate interest of the Partnership’s market value. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the Account’s interest in the Partnership was 40.6% or 2,741,864 shares. Properties owned by the Partnership are illiquid and based on estimated fair value as discussed in the notes to the Partnership’s audited financial statements.

C. Income Recognition


		Net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized daily. Amounts are based upon the Account’s proportionate interest in the Partnership.

D. Equity of The Prudential Insurance Company of America


		Prudential 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 1.2%, 0.9%, 0.6% and 1.2% for PDISCO+, PVAL, PVAL $100,000 + face value and VIP, 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 Prudential. The mortality risk and expense risk charges are assessed through reduction in unit values.

B. 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 PVAL and PVAL $100,000 + face value are (1) state premium taxes; (2) sales charges, up to 0.50%, which are deducted in order to compensate Prudential for the cost of selling the contract and (3) transaction costs 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 Prudential 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.

C. Deferred Sales Charge


		A deferred sales charge, applicable to PVAL and PVAL $100,000 + face value, and not to exceed 50% of the first year’s primary annual premium for PVAL contracts, is imposed upon surrenders of certain variable life insurance contracts to compensate Prudential 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. No sales charge will be imposed after the tenth year of the contract. No sales charge will be imposed on death benefits.

		Also a deferred sales charge is imposed upon the withdrawals of certain purchase payments to compensate Prudential for sales and other marketing expenses for PDISCO+ and VIP. The amount of any sales charge will depend on the amount withdrawn and the number of contract years that have elapsed since the contract owner or annuitant made the purchase payments deemed to be withdrawn. No sales charge is made against the withdrawal of investment income. A reduced sales charge is imposed in connection with the withdrawal of a purchase payment to effect an annuity if three or more contract years have elapsed since the contract date, unless the annuity effected is an annuity certain. No sales charge is imposed upon death benefit payments or upon transfers made between subaccounts. This deferred sales charge is assessed through the redemption of units.

D. Partial Withdrawal Charge


		A charge is imposed by Prudential on partial withdrawals of the cash surrender value for PVAL and PVAL $100,000 + face value. 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.

E. Annual Maintenance Charge


		An annual maintenance charge, applicable to PDISCO+ and VIP, of $30 will be deducted if and only if the contract fund is less than $10,000 on a contract anniversary or at the time a full withdrawal is effected, including a withdrawal to effect an annuity. The charge is made by reducing accumulation units credited to a contract owner’s account.


Note 4:		Taxes

		Prudential 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 law, no federal income taxes are payable by the Account. As such, no provision for the tax liability has been recorded in these financial statements.

Note 5:		Net Contributions (Withdrawals) by Contract Owners

		Net contract owner contributions (withdrawals) for the real estate investment option in Prudential’s variable insurance and variable annuity products for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, were as follows:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	(Unaudited)

PDISCO+/VIP		(120,501	)		(80,629	)


TOTAL	$	(952,781	)	$	380,838



Note 6:		Partnership Distributions

		As of June 30, 2008, the Partnership had made no current year distributions. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Partnership made no distributions.

Note 7:		Unit Information

	2008	2007
Total Return	1.32% to 1.62%	4.69% to 5.00%


Note 9:		Fair Value Disclosure

		SFAS No. 157 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.

		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 Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

		The investment in the Partnership 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 based on estimated fair value from property appraisal reports prepared by independent real estate appraisers as discussed in the notes to the Partnership’s audited 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.

		In general, the input values used in the appraisal process are unobservable, therefore unless indicated otherwise; real estate investments and debt are classified as Level 3 under SFAS157 fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
(Unaudited)

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements

	A.		Basis of Presentation- The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of The Prudential Variable Contract Real Property Partnership (the “Partnership”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. 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 six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2008. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in each partner’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2007.

	B.		Management’s Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

	C.		New Accounting Pronouncements- FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”), was issued in January 2003. In December 2003, FASB issued a revised interpretation of FIN 46 (FIN 46-R”) that supersedes FIN 46. FIN 46-R defers the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN46 for those companies currently accounting for their investments in accordance with the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, “Audits of Investment Companies” (the “Audit Guide”). The FASB is currently considering modifying FIN 46-R to provide an exception for companies that apply the Audit Guide. The Partnership is awaiting the final determination from the FASB in order to evaluate the extent in which, if any, its equity investments may need to be consolidated as a result of this FIN 46-R.

			In September 2006, the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC”, issued Staff Accounting Bulletin, or “SAB”, No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” The interpretations in this SAB express the staff’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. Specifically, the SEC staff believes that registrants must quantify the impact on current period financial statements of correcting all misstatements, including both those occurring in the current period and the effect of reversing those that have accumulated from prior periods. This SAB must be applied beginning with the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, with early adoption encouraged. Since the Partnership’s method for quantifying financial statement misstatements already considers those occurring in the current period and the effect of reversing those that have accumulated from prior periods, the adoption of SAB No. 108 had no effect on the financial position and result of operations of the Partnership.

			The Partnership adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 as of January 1, 2007. This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for how a Partnership should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the Partnership has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The adoption of FIN 48 had no effect to the financial position and result of operations of the Partnership.

			In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but the application of this statement could change current practices in determining fair value. This adoption did not change the methodology used to fair value our real estate investments.

THE PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP
(Unaudited)

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements (continued)

	C.		New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

			In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement provides partnerships with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value.

			SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 159 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 159 effective January 1, 2008, however, the Partnership did not make a fair value option election for its existing debt. The adoption does not have any effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Please refer to Notes 1E and 2 for details.

			In June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” (“SOP 07-1”). SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the “Audit Guide”). SOP 07-1 was originally determined to be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007, however, on February 6, 2008, FASB issued a final Staff Position indefinitely deferring the effective date and prohibiting early adoption of SOP 07-1 while addressing implementation issues.

	D.		Real Estate Investments —Real estate investments are shown at estimated fair value. The costs of 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.

			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 fair value measurement objective is to determine the exit price at which the Fund would receive to sell an asset based on the highest and best use valuation premise or pay to transfer a liability taking into consideration the perspectives of market participant and the assumptions they may use. 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 appraisal firm 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.

			Unconsolidated real estate partnerships are valued at the Partnership’s equity in net assets as reflected in the partnerships’ financial statements with properties valued as described above and in Note 1E below. 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 PRUDENTIAL VARIABLE CONTRACT REAL PROPERTY PARTNERSHIP

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements (continued)

	D.		Real Estate Investments (continued)

			Land held for development is reported at estimated fair value, which approximates the acquisition cost plus soft costs incurred prior to development. The estimated fair value is determined based on the amount at which the Fund would receive if the land were sold at the reporting date taking into consideration the assumptions that market participants may use.

			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. The funding obligation/forward contract obligation and related asset are recorded in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the project is waived or deemed to have reached substantial completion, equal to or over 90% complete, and the Fund’s commitment to fund is firm. The amount of any unrealized gain or loss recognized is based upon the difference between the estimated investment’s market value as described above and the Fund’s funding obligation. The funding obligation and related assets are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, no such funding obligation existed.

			As described above, the estimated fair value of real estate and real estate related assets is 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 and could be material to the consolidated financial statements. Although the estimated fair values represent subjective estimates, management believes these estimated fair values are reasonable approximations of market prices and the aggregate estimated value of investments in real estate is fairly presented as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

	E.		Valuation Methodology- 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.

			In general, the input values used in the appraisal process are unobservable, therefore unless indicated otherwise; real estate investments and debt are classified as Level 3 under SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy.

	F.		Other Real Estate Investments– Other real estate investments include short-term notes receivable, which are valued at the amount due and approximate fair value.

	G.		Cash and Cash Equivalents– Cash and cash equivalent are comprised of all short-term investments and investments in money market funds with a maximum maturity of three months. Cash equivalents consist of investments in the Prudential Investment Liquidity Pool offered and managed by an affiliate of PFI and are accounted for at fair value.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Pronouncements (continued)

	H.		Other Assets –Restricted cash of $115,000 and $186,736 was maintained by the wholly owned and consolidated properties at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Tenant security deposits are included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Other assets also include tenant receivables and are net of allowance for uncollectible accounts of $1,322 and $39,764 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

	I.		Investment Level Debt– Investment level debt is stated at the principal amount of the obligations outstanding. At times the Partnership may assume debt in connection with the purchase of real estate. The Partnership allocates a portion of the purchase price to the below/above market debt and amortizes the premium/discount over the remaining life of the debt.

	J.		Deferred Financing Costs– Deferred Financing Costs related to debt were capitalized and amortized over the terms of the related obligations.

	K.		Revenue Recognition- Revenue from real estate is recognized when earned in accordance with the terms of the respective leases. Revenue from certain real estate investments is net of all or a portion of related real estate expenses, as lease arrangements vary as to responsibility for payment of these expenses between tenants and the Partnership. Since real estate is stated at estimated fair value, net income is not reduced by depreciation or amortization expense.

	L.		Equity in Income of Real Estate Partnerships- Equity in income from real estate partnership operations represents the Partnership’s share of the current year’s partnership income as provided for under the terms of the partnership agreements. As is the case with wholly owned real estate, partnership net income is not reduced by depreciation or amortization expense. Frequency of distribution of income is determined by formal agreements or by the executive committee of the partnership.

	M.		Federal Income Taxes —The Partnership is not a taxable entity under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The income and capital gains and losses of the Partnership are attributed, for federal income tax purposes, to the Partners in the Partnership. The Partnership may be subject to state and local taxes in jurisdictions in which it operates.

Note 2: Fair Value Disclosure

Fair Value Measurements:

SFAS 157 establishes a fair value measurement framework, provides a single definition of fair value and requires expanded disclosure summarizing fair value measurements. This statement provides a three-level hierarchy based on the input values used in the valuation process; level 1—quoted price, level 2—indirect observable inputs and level 3—unobservable inputs. For items classified as Level 3, a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, as shown in table 2 below, is also required.

Table 1 below summarizes the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

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, 2008, the Partnership’s liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, were approximately $23.5 million, an increase of approximately $5.3 million from $18.2 million at December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to cash flows received from the Partnership’s operating activities and the repayment of the Partnership’s preferred equity investment, as discussed below. Partially offsetting this increase was a contribution to an existing retail property in Dunn, North Carolina as well as capital expenditures to existing properties, as detailed below. Sources of liquidity included net cash flow from property operations, financings, and interest from short-term investments. The Partnership uses cash for its real estate investment activities and for its distributions to its partners. As of June 30, 2008, approximately 7.8% of the Partnership’s total assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership made an additional $2.6 million preferred equity investment in an existing retail property located in Ocean City, Maryland to fund costs associated with the redevelopment of the center. This investment was repaid with interest on April 1, 2008 with proceeds to the Partnership totaling $4.0 million in conjunction with the refinancing of the existing loan as discussed below.

The Partnership did not have any dispositions or acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The Partnership refinanced two existing loans during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The retail property in Ocean City, Maryland refinanced for loan proceeds of $16.6 million, of which $9.8 million represents additional indebtedness. $3.6 million of the loan remains to be funded for future costs associated with the redevelopment of the property. The apartment property in Raleigh, North Carolina refinanced for the amount of $9.0 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership spent approximately $1.3 million on capital improvements to various existing properties. Approximately $0.9 million was associated with the renovation of the hotel property in Lake Oswego, Oregon and approximately $0.1 million funded the renovation of the apartment property in Atlanta, Georgia. The remaining $0.3 million was associated with minor capital improvements and transaction costs associated with leasing expenses of various other properties. Additionally, $4.8 million of capital improvements was funded at the retail property in Ocean City, Maryland through the aforementioned third party loan.

(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, 2008, and 2007.

Net Investment Income Overview

The Partnership’s net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $6.0 million, an increase of approximately $0.3 million from the prior year period. The office, apartment, and retail sector investments posted increases of approximately $0.1 million, $1.1 million, and $0.1 million respectively, from the prior year period. The industrial and hotel sector investments’ net incomes remained relatively unchanged. Partially offsetting the increase in the office and apartment sectors’ net income was a $1.0 million increase in net investment loss from the prior year period in other net investments. The components of this net investment income are discussed below by property type.

The Partnership’s net investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $2.8 million, a decrease of approximately $0.2 million from the prior year period. The retail sector posted a decrease in net investment income of approximately $0.1 million. Other net investment loss increased approximately $0.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from the prior year period. Partially offsetting the decrease was an increase in net investment income of approximately $0.4 million in the apartment sector from the prior year period. The office and hotel sector investments remained relatively unchanged. The components of this net investment income and/or loss are discussed below by property type sector.

Valuation Overview

The Partnership did not record any realized gains for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008, compared with net realized gains of approximately $0.8 million and $0.4 million for the prior year periods, respectively.

The Partnership recorded an aggregate net unrealized loss of approximately $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared with an aggregate net unrealized gain of approximately $5.7 million for the prior year period. The aggregate net unrealized loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was attributable to property valuation declines in the office and hotel sector investments of approximately $2.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Partially offsetting these unrealized losses were net unrealized gains of approximately $0.6 million recorded in each of the apartment and retail sector investments. The components of these valuation gains and/or losses are discussed below by property type.

The Partnership recorded an aggregate net unrealized loss of approximately $0.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared with an aggregate net unrealized gain of approximately $3.8 million for the prior year. The aggregate net unrealized loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was attributable to property valuation declines in the office, apartment, and retail sector investments of approximately $0.2 million, $0.2 million, and $0.4 million, respectively. Partially offsetting these unrealized losses were net unrealized gains of approximately $0.2 million related to the hotel sector investments. The components of these valuation gains and/or losses are discussed below by property type.

The following table presents a comparison of the Partnership’s sources of net investment income, and realized and unrealized gains or losses by investment type for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008, and 2007.

Net investment income for the Partnership’s apartment properties was approximately $0.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, an increase of approximately $0.4 million from the prior year period.

The aggregate net unrealized gain for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to (a) a decrease in operating expenses at the apartment property in Austin, Texas; (b) strengthening market conditions at the apartment property in Raleigh, North Carolina; and (c) capital expenditures in connection with the renovations at the apartment property in Atlanta, Georgia.

The apartment properties owned by the Partnership recorded an aggregate net unrealized loss of approximately $0.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared with an aggregate net unrealized gain of approximately $2.6 million for the prior year period. The aggregate net unrealized loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to weakening market fundamentals at the apartment property in Austin, Texas resulting from increased inventory in the market.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income for the Partnership’s retail properties was approximately $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of approximately $0.1 million from the prior year period. The increase in net investment income was largely due to the additional net investment income received from the Dunn, North Carolina retail property acquired on August 17, 2007. The increase was partially offset by lost rent related to the Kansas City, Kansas retail property sold on June 29, 2007, as well as decreased occupancies at the retail properties in Roswell, Georgia and Ocean City, Maryland.

Net investment income for the Partnership’s retail properties was approximately $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of approximately $0.1 million from the prior year period. The decrease was due to post-closing adjustments and lost rent related to the Kansas City, Kansas retail property sold on June 29, 2007, as well as a decrease in occupancies at the retail properties in Roswell, Georgia and Ocean City, Maryland. Partially offsetting the decrease was the additional net investment income received from the Dunn, North Carolina retail property acquired on August 17, 2007.

Realized and Unrealized Gain/(Loss)

The retail properties owned by the Partnership recorded an aggregate net unrealized gain of approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared with an aggregate net realized and unrealized gain of approximately $2.1 million for the prior year period. The unrealized gain for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to strengthening market conditions affecting the retail property in Hampton, Virginia and improving property fundamentals affecting the retail properties in Ocean City, Maryland and Dunn, North Carolina due to current redevelopment of the centers. Partially offsetting these unrealized gains was a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.7 million at the property in Roswell, GA due to weakening property fundamentals and a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.6 million from the Capital Automotive, or “CARS”, preferred equity investment due to an increase in investor return requirements for preferred equity positions.

The retail properties owned by the Partnership recorded an aggregate net unrealized loss of approximately $0.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared with an aggregate net realized and unrealized gain of approximately $0.5 million for the prior year period. The unrealized loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.7 million at the property in Roswell, GA due to weakening property fundamentals and a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.6 million from the CARS preferred equity investment due to an increase in investor return requirements for preferred equity positions. This loss was partially offset by strengthening market conditions affecting the retail property in Hampton, Virginia and improving property fundamentals affecting the retail properties in Ocean City, Maryland and Dunn, North Carolina due to current redevelopment of the centers.

The Partnership’s hotel property recorded an unrealized gain of approximately $0.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared with an unrealized gain of $1.0 million for the prior year period. The unrealized gain was a result of the capital improvements made to the property.

Other

Other net investment loss increased approximately $1.0 million and $0.5 million for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively, from the prior year period. This includes interest income from short-term investments, investment management fees, and portfolio level expenses.

(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 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but the application of this statement could change current practices in determining fair value.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement provides partnerships with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value.

SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 159 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 157 and SFAS No. 159 effective January 1, 2008, however, the Partnership did not make a fair value option election for its existing debt. The adoption does not have any effect on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Valuation of Investments

Real Estate Investments —Real estate investments are shown at estimated fair value. The costs of 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. 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 fair value measurement objective is to determine the exit price at which the Fund would receive to sell an asset based on the highest and best use valuation premise or pay to transfer a liability taking into consideration the perspectives of market participant and the assumptions they may use. 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 appraisal firm 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.

Unconsolidated real estate partnerships are valued at the Partnership’s equity in net assets as reflected in the partnerships’ financial statements with properties valued as described above and in Note 1E. 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.

Land held for development is reported at estimated fair value, which approximates the acquisition cost plus soft costs incurred prior to development. The estimated fair value is determined based on the amount at which the Fund would receive if the land were sold at the reporting date taking into consideration the assumptions that market participants may use.

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. The funding obligation/forward contract obligation and related asset are recorded in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the project is waived or deemed to have reached substantial completion, equal to or over 90% complete, and the Fund’s commitment to fund is firm. The amount of any unrealized gain or loss recognized is based upon the difference between the estimated investment’s market value as described above and the Fund’s funding obligation. The funding obligation and related assets are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, no such funding obligation existed.

As described above, the estimated fair value of real estate and real estate related assets is 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 and could be material to the consolidated financial statements. Although the estimated fair values represent subjective estimates, management believes these estimated fair values are reasonable approximations of market prices and the aggregate estimated value of investments in real estate is fairly presented as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Valuation Methodology

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.

In general, the input values used in the appraisal process are unobservable, therefore unless indicated otherwise; real estate investments and debt are classified as Level 3 under SFAS157 fair value hierarchy.

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 24.56% of its investment portfolio as of June 30, 2008, 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 equivalents and short-term investments at June 30, 2008:

The table below discloses the Partnership’s debt as of June 30, 2008. 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.
